Background And Study Aims: As a novel immunotherapy, chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell technology is successful in treating hematologic malignancies, and exhibits potential benefits in partial solid tumors. Therapies targeting one antigen have some weaknesses, and dual-targeted CAR-T cells may be a better option. Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and glypican-3 (GPC3) are both highly expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and serve as important markers.

Article Synopsis
  • A new test called Time-resolved fluorescence immunochromatographic test strips (TRFIS) has been created for the fast detection of a specific type of exosome related to liver cancer, targeting a protein called glypican-3 (GPC3).
  • The test allows for direct detection of these exosomes in plasma without needing complex isolation methods, completing the entire process in just 15 minutes.
  • Clinical testing showed that TRFIS can effectively differentiate HCC patients from healthy individuals with high sensitivity and specificity, presenting a promising tool for early liver cancer screening.

Article Synopsis
  • Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a significant global health concern, characterized by late diagnosis and high recurrence rates, necessitating early detection through specific biomarkers.
  • Glypican-3 (GPC-3) is identified as a promising biomarker for HCC, being overexpressed in various tumors, which opens up opportunities for targeted therapies to enhance treatment outcomes.
  • Recent advancements in GPC-3-targeted therapies, such as bi-specific antibodies and CAR T cell therapies, underscore its potential as both a diagnostic and therapeutic tool in the fight against HCC.

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a promising modality for early diagnosis, accurate detection, and staging of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Hereby, a dual-specific probe targeting Glypican-3 (GPC3) and prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) was evaluated for HCC PET imaging. The probe was prepared by conjugating TJ12P2, a GPC3-targeting peptide previously reported by our group, to a highly potent PSMA inhibitor via a polyethylene glycol linker and further tethered to the 1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1,4,7-triacetic acid (NOTA) chelator.

The anti-glypican 1 AT101 antibody as targeting agent to effectively deliver chitosan nanobubbles to glioblastoma cells.

Nanomedicine (Lond)

January 2025

Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology Unit, Centro di Riferimento Oncologico di Aviano, Istituto di Ricovero e Cura a Carattere Scientifico (IRCCS), Aviano, Italy.

Background: Recently, we developed AT101, an IgM-class mouse monoclonal antibody directed against glypican-1 (GPC1), a proteoglycan that can be considered as useful target for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) treatment being specifically and highly expressed on GBM cell surface. Here, we proposed the use of AT101 as targeting agent in a drug delivery nanoplatfom to effectively deliver chitosan nanobubbles (NBs) for GBM treatment.

Methods: Chitosan NBs were prepared and conjugated with AT101 or left unconjugated as control.
