CD200 mimetic aptamer PEG-M49 markedly increases the therapeutic effects of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin in a mouse model of metastatic breast carcinoma: an effect independent of CD200 receptor 1

We previously reported that CD200 overexpression in the host decreases progression and metastasis of the highly aggressive metastatic 4THM breast carcinoma. We have explored a possible synergistic interaction between the CD200 mimetic PEG-M49 and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (Peg-Dox) in wild-typ...

Description
Summary:We previously reported that CD200 overexpression in the host decreases progression and metastasis of the highly aggressive metastatic 4THM breast carcinoma. We have explored a possible synergistic interaction between the CD200 mimetic PEG-M49 and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (Peg-Dox) in wild-type CD200 knockout (CD200 −/− ) and CD200 Receptor 1 knockout (CD200R1 −/− ) mice for the first time. A 4THM breast carcinoma model and three groups of BALB/c mice (wild type, CD200 −/− and CD200R1 −/− ) were used. Five days after injection of tumor cells, mice were injected with Peg-Dox (ip, once a week) and PEG-M49 or a control aptamer (iv, every 3 days). Necropsies were performed either 12 (mid-point) or 24 (endpoint) days after injection and the extent of tumor growth, visceral metastasis and changes in the tumor-directed immune response were evaluated. PEG-M49 and Peg-Dox co-treatment induced complete tumor regression and loss of macroscopic lung metastasis in four out of seven WT mice. This synergistic anti-tumoral effect is thought to be due to Peg-M49-induced inhibition of Gr1 + CD11b + cells and Peg-Dox-induced increases in tumor-infiltrating CD8 + and CD8CD4 double-positive cells. Similar changes were observed in CD200R1 −/− mice indicating that the primary effects of Peg-M49 are mediated by non-CD200R1 receptors. We also demonstrated for the first time that tumor growth, metastasis, and tumor infiltrating GR1 + CD11b + cells were markedly increased in CD200R1 −/− mice, indicating an anti-inflammatory and protective role of CD200. CD200 mimetics might be a safe and effective immunomodulatory treatment in conjunction with classical chemotherapeutics for therapy of aggressive metastatic breast carcinoma.
