In addition, Enavatuzumab can significantly inhibit the migratory ability of the Ewing sarcoma cell line RD-ES. This groundbreaking study provides unprecedented mechanistic insights into the progression of bladder ES/PNET and introduces a potential therapeutic avenue for treating this challenging malignancy.
Noteworthy, activation of the classical NFκB pathway, which naturally is predominately triggered by membrane-bound TWEAK but not soluble TWEAK, was preferentially observed with a subset of constructs containing Fn14 binding sites at opposing sites of the IgG scaffold, e.g. IgG1-scFv fusion proteins. A superior ability of IgG1-scFv fusion proteins to trigger classical NFκB signaling was also observed with the anti-Fn14 antibody PDL192 suggesting that we identified generic structures for Fn14 antibody variants mimicking soluble and membrane-bound TWEAK.
