Targeting Oncolytic Adenoviruses to Cancer Cells Using a Designed Ankyrin Repeat Protein Lipocalin-2 Fusion Protein
Oncolytic viruses are a promising technology to attack cancer cells and to recruit immune cells to the tumor site. Since the Lipocalin-2 receptor (LCN2R) is expressed on most cancer cells, we used its ligand LCN2 to target oncolytic adenoviruses (Ads) to cancer cells. Therefore, we fused a Designed Ankyrin Repeat Protein (DARPin) adapter binding the knob of Ad type 5 (knob5) to LCN2 to retarget the virus toward LCN2R with the aim of analyzing the basic characteristics of this novel targeting approach. The adapter was tested in vitro with Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells stably expressing the LCN2R and on 20 cancer cell lines (CCLs) using an Ad5 vector encoding luciferase and green fluorescent protein. Luciferase assays with the LCN2 adapter (LA) showed 10-fold higher infection compared with blocking adapter (BA) in CHO cells expressing LCN2R and in cells not expressing the LCN2R. Most CCLs showed an increased viral uptake of LA-bound virus compared with BA-bound virus and for five CCLs viral uptake was comparable to unmodified Ad5. Flow cytometry and hexon immunostainings also revealed increased uptake of LA-bound Ads compared with BA-bound Ads in most tested CCLs. Virus spread was studied in 3D cell culture models and nine CCLs showed increased and earlier fluorescence signals for LA-bound virus compared with BA-bound virus. Mechanistically, we show that the LA increases viral uptake only in the absence of its ligand Enterobactin (Ent) and independently of iron. Altogether, we characterized a novel DARPin-based system resulting in enhanced uptake demonstrating potential for future oncolytic virotherapy.
