摘要:
Moxetumomab pasudotox (HA22) is an immunotoxin with an anti-CD22 Fv fused to a portion of Pseudomonas exotoxin A that kills CD22 expressing ALL cells. HA22 produced significant responses in some cases of ALL. To understand how to increase response rate, we isolated HA22-resistant KOPN-8 cells and found that HA22 cannot inactivate elongation factor-2 (EF2) due to low levels of DPH1 RNA and protein. Resistance was associated with methylation of the CpG island in the DPH1 promoter. 5-Azacytidine prevented resistance and methylation of the CpG residues and merits evaluation to determine if it can increase the efficacy of HA22 in ALL.
