Immune evasion in lung metastasis of leiomyosarcoma: upregulation of EPCAM inhibits CD8 T cell infiltration. (PubMed, Br J Cancer)
EPCAM was upregulated in lung metastases of leiomyosarcoma, suggesting inhibition of CD8 T cell migration. Our findings suggest that EPCAM could serve as a potential novel therapeutic target for leiomyosarcoma.

DuoBody-EpCAMx4-1BB mediates conditional T cell co-stimulation and promotes antitumor activity in preclinical models (ESMO 2023)
In a murine model, an Fc-inert EpCAMx4-1BB bsAb promoted antitumor activity in vivo. It is intended to investigate the clinical safety and preliminary antitumor activity of DuoBody-EpCAMx4-1BB in patients with solid tumors in a first-in-human trial.

Novel Fab-peptide-HLA-I fusion proteins for redirecting pre-existing anti-CMV T cell immunity to selective eliminate carcinoma cells. (PubMed, Oncoimmunology)
In contrast, analogous treatment with equimolar amounts of EpCAM/CD3-directed bispecific T-cell engager solitomab resulted in a massive release of IFNγ, a feature commonly associated with adverse cytokine-release syndrome. Combinatorial treatment with EpCAM-ReTARG and EGFR-ReTARG strongly potentiated selective cancer cell elimination owing to the concerted action of the corresponding cognate anti-CMV CD8 T cell clones. In conclusion, ReTARG fusion proteins may be useful as an alternative or complementary form of targeted cancer immunotherapy for 'cold' solid cancers.

Immunotherapy for Peritoneal Carcinomatosis: Challenges and Prospective Outcomes. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
Catumaxomab is a trifunctional antibody intraperitoneal (IP) immunotherapy authorized in Europe that can be used to diminish malignant ascites by targeting EpCAM...This reaction was strengthened by anti-PD-L1 or anti-Gr1. When paired with CD137 co-stimulatory signaling, CAR-T cells for folate receptor cancers made it easier for T-cell tumors to find their way to and stay alive in the body.

Deglycosylated EpCAM regulates proliferation by enhancing autophagy of breast cancer cells via PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. (PubMed, Aging (Albany NY))
We further confirmed this conclusion with the activator (Rapamycin, RAP) and inhibitor (Wortmannin) of autophagy...These findings represent a novel mechanism by which deglycosylated EpCAM inhibits proliferation by enhancing autophagy of breast cancer cells via PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. In conclusion, the combination of autophagy modulation and EpCAM targeted therapy is a promising therapeutic strategy in the treatment of breast cancer.

Molecular characteristics and tumorigenicity of ascites-derived tumor cells: mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation as a novel therapy target in ovarian cancer. (PubMed, Mol Oncol)
Interestingly, response to OXPHOS inhibition by metformin and IACS010759 in tumor spheroids correlated with the extent of mitochondrial membrane potential measured by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). Our data contribute to a better understanding of the biology of ovarian cancer spheroids and identify the OXPHOS pathway as new potential treatment option in advanced ovarian cancer.

Prognostic Significance of Immune Checkpoints HLA-G/ILT-2/4 and PD-L1 in Colorectal Cancer. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
This finding indicated that a combination of immunotherapy strategies, such as ILT-4 blockade, could improve the clinical outcomes in patients with cancer. Moreover, multicolor flow cytometry can be employed as a reliable and efficient, alternative to immunohistochemistry, for evaluating the immune checkpoint proteins expressed in tumor lesions.

Cytoplasmic MSH2 Related to Genomic Deletions in the MSH2/EPCAM Genes in Colorectal Cancer Patients With Suspected Lynch Syndrome. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
Our study also provides clinical evidence for the beneficial effect of the PD-1 inhibitor pembrolizumab for CRC patients that exhibit cytoplasmic MSH2 staining. Our study demonstrates that the rare cytoplasmic MSH2 staining pattern should be fully recognized by pathologists and geneticists. Given the specific genotype-phenotype correlation in LS screening, we advocate that all CRC patients with cytoplasmic MSH2 staining in histology should be screened for LGRs of EPCAM and MSH2.
