Abstract
Ephrin type-B receptor 3 (EphB3) binds to transmembrane ephrin-B ligands to regulate cell mi-gration, adhesion, and proliferation. EphB3 exhibits a gradient expression pattern in the normal intestine, with the highest levels at the crypt base, and plays a crucial role in the maintenance of normal intestinal epithelium. Therefore, anti-EphB3 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are required for basic research and diagnosis. In this study, we developed novel anti-human EphB3, Eb3Mab-5 (IgG1, κ) and Eb3Mab-11 (IgG1, κ), using the Cell-Based Immunization and Screening (CBIS) method. Eb3Mab-5 and Eb3Mab-11 reacted with EphB3-overexpressed Chinese hamster ova-ry-K1 (CHO/EphB3) and endogenous EphB3-positive colorectal cancer LS174T in flow cytometry. The KD values of Eb3Mab-5 for CHO/EphB3 and LS174T were 7.6 ×10-9 M and 1.7 ×10-8 M, re-spectively. Eb3Mab-11 could detect EphB3 in western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry. Eb3Mab-5 and Eb3Mab-11 may contribute to the diagnosis and therapy of EphB3-positive tu-mors.

1. Introduction

Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) regulate cell proliferation, differentiation, and motility. About 20 RTK classes have been identified. The Eph receptor family is the largest group of RTKs [1]. The Eph/Ephrin system plays a vital role in normal development [2,3] and diseases such as cancer [4,5,6]. EphB receptors bind to membrane-bound ephrin B ligands, which mediate bi-directional signaling and regulate homeostasis. [7]. In the normal intestine, EphB expression shows a gradient, with the highest levels located at the crypt base [8]. In contrast, the ephrin B ligands display an opposite gradient, with their highest expression at the villus tip [8]. In EphB3-deficient mice, Paneth cells are improperly positioned, being spread along the crypt–villus axis instead of being confined to the crypts [8].
In the crypt base of the normal intestine, Wnt signaling plays essential roles in maintaining stem cells [9]. Wnt activation causes β-catenin to move to the nucleus and activates β-catenin/TCF target genes like MYC and EPHB3 [10]. Additionally, the ubiquitin ligase Mule promotes the ubiquitination of EphB3 and its degradation via proteasomal and/or lysosomal pathways to limit proliferation and maintain a proper EphB3 gradient [11].
The constitutive activation of Wnt signaling causes intestinal adenoma development in APCmin mice [12]. Loss of Mule exacerbates the APCmin phenotype, suggesting that Mule serves as a tumor suppressor in the intestine through maintenance of proper EphB3 gradient [11]. During colorectal cancer (CRC) progression, EphB3 shows initial overexpression in early adenoma [13]. EphB3 forward signaling can suppress CRC migration and invasion by inhibiting AKT [14]. EphB3 exhibits progressive downregulation in advanced tumors, especially at invasive fronts [15]. The downregulation of EphB3 precedes the loss of E-cadherin, indicating its role in initiating the epithelial-mesenchymal transition [16,17]. Clinically, high EphB3 expression is associated with well-differentiated early-stage tumors, whereas its absence in metastatic CRC links to poor differentiation, lymphovascular invasion, and advanced TNM stages [15]. Therefore, the development of anti-EphB3 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is crucial for investigating stem cell functions and diagnosing tumors.
We have utilized the Cell-Based Immunization and Screening (CBIS) method to develop mAbs targeting various membrane proteins. The CBIS method involves using cells that overexpress the target antigen as immunogens and screening hybridoma supernatants with flow cytometry. To date, we have successfully generated mAbs against transmembrane proteins, including the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family [18,19], Eph family [20,21,22], and epithelial cell adhesion molecule family [23,24] using the CBIS method. In this study, we generated anti-EphB3 mAbs using the CBIS method and assessed their potential for various applications.

2. Materials and Methods

2.1. Antibodies

An anti-human EphB3 mAb (clone 647354, mouse IgG1, kappa) was purchased from R&D Systems, Inc. (Minneapolis, MN, USA). An anti-β-actin mAb (clone AC-15) was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich Corp. (St. Louis, MO). Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated anti-mouse IgG was purchased from Cell Signaling Technology, Inc. (Danvers, MA, USA).

2.2. Preparation of Cell Lines

Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-K1, LN229 glioblastoma, P3X63Ag8U.1 (P3U1) myeloma, and human colorectal (LS174T) cell lines were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA, USA). The EphB3 complementary DNA (Catalog No.: HGX039581, RIKEN BRC, Ibaraki, JAPAN) was subcloned into a pCAG-Ble vector (FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical Corporation, Osaka, Japan). Plasmid transfection into CHO-K1 and LN229 cells was performed using the Neon transfection system (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., Waltham, MA, USA). Stable transfectants (CHO/EphB3 and LN229/EphB3) were then selected with a cell sorter (SH800, Sony Corp., Tokyo, Japan) using an anti-hEphB3 monoclonal antibody (clone 647354). After sorting, cells were cultured in medium containing 0.5 mg/mL Zeocin (InvivoGen, San Diego, CA, USA). EphB3-knockout LS174T (BINDS-61) was generated using the CRISPR/Cas9 system with EphB3-specific guide RNA (TTCCAGCGCCCGGCAGCCGG). These cells and other Eph receptor-expressing CHO-K1 cells (e.g., CHO/EphA2) were cultured as previously described [20]

2.3. Production of Hybridomas

Animal experiments were approved by the Animal Care and Use Committee of Tohoku University (Permit number: 2022MdA-001) and conducted in accordance with the NIH (National Research Council) Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. To develop anti-EphB3 mAbs, two 5-week-old female BALB/cAJcl mice (CLEA Tokyo, Japan) were immunized intraperitoneally with LN229/EphB3 (1 × 108 cells/mouse) starting at 6 weeks of age. Alhydrogel adjuvant 2% (InvivoGen) was added to the immunogen cells during the first immunization. Subsequently, three weekly intraperitoneal injections of LN229/EphB3 (1 × 108 cells/mouse) were administered without adjuvant. A final booster injection of 1 × 108 LN229/EphB3 cells was given two days before harvesting spleen cells from the mice. Cell fusion was performed between harvested splenocytes and P3U1 myeloma cells. The resulting hybridoma supernatants were screened by flow cytometry using CHO/EphB3 and parental CHO-K1 cells. Anti-EphB3 mAbs were purified from the hybridoma supernatants using Ab-Capcher (ProteNova, Kagawa, Japan).

2.4. Flow Cytometric Analysis

Cells were harvested using 2.5 g/L-Trypsin/1 mmol/L-EDTA solution with phenol red (Nacalai Tesque, Inc., Kyoto, Japan) and incubated with primary monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) for 30 minutes at 4 °C. Subsequently, they were stained with Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated anti-mouse (diluted 1:2000) or FITC-conjugated anti-human IgG (diluted 1:2000) before being analyzed using the SA3800 Cell Analyzer (Sony Corp.).

2.5. Determination of Dissociation Constant (KD) by Flow Cytometry

CHO/EphB3 and LS174T were suspended in 100 μL of serially diluted Eb3Mab-5, Eb3Mab-11, or 647354, then treated with Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated anti-mouse IgG (dilution 1:200). Fluorescence data were collected using the SA3800 Cell Analyzer, and the dissociation constant (KD) was analyzed by fitting the binding isotherms into the built-in one-site binding model in GraphPad PRISM 10 (GraphPad Software, Inc., La Jolla, CA, USA).

2.6. Western Blot Analysis

Cell lysates were boiled in sodium dodecyl sulfate sample buffer (Nacalai Tesque, Inc.), then proteins were separated on 5%-20% polyacrylamide gels (FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical Corporation) and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Merck KGaA). After blocking with 4% skim milk (Nacalai Tesque, Inc.) in PBS containing 0.05% Tween 20, membranes were incubated with 5 μg/mL of Eb3Mab-11, 1 μg/mL of 647354, or 1 μg/mL of anti-β-actin mAb (clone AC-15). Then, they were incubated again with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-mouse immunoglobulins (diluted 1:1000; Agilent Technologies, Inc., Santa Clara, CA, USA). Finally, protein bands were detected using ImmunoStar LD (FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical Corporation) with a Sayaca-Imager (DRC Co. Ltd., Tokyo, Japan).

2.7. Immunohistochemistry (IHC)

Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) CHO/EphB3 and CHO-K1 blocks were prepared using iPGell (Genostaff Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan). The FFPE cell sections were stained with Eb3Mab-11 (5 μg/mL) and 647354 (5 μg/mL) using BenchMark ULTRA PLUS with OptiView DAB IHC Detection Kit or ultraView Universal DAB Detection Kit, respectively (Roche Diagnostics, Indianapolis, IN, USA).

3. Results

3.1. Establishment of Anti-EphB3 mAbs, Eb3Mab-5 and Eb3Mab-11, Using the CBIS Method

To develop mAbs of anti-EphB3, we employed the CBIS method using EphB3-overexpressed LN229 cells as an antigen. LN229/EphB3 were injected intraperitoneally into female BALB/cAJcl mice (Figure 1A). The splenocytes were harvested from mice and fused with P3U1 cells (Figure 1B). After the formation of hybridomas, the supernatants were screened by flow cytometry to identify the CHO/EphB3-reactive supernatants (Figure 1C). Afterward, we performed limiting dilution of the hybridomas and established clones of anti-EphB3 mAbs (Figure 1D). We finally established 17 clones and selected Eb3Mab-5 (IgG1, κ) and Eb3Mab-11 (IgG1, κ) for their applications including flow cytometry, western blotting, and immunohistochemistry.
After purification of Eb3Mab-5 and Eb3Mab-11, we conducted flow cytometry to determine the specificity using Eph receptor-overexpressed CHO-K1. As shown in Figure 2, Eb3Mab-5 and Eb3Mab-11 recognized CHO/EphB3, but not other 13 Eph receptors (EphA1 to A8, A10, B1, B2, B4, and B6) (Figure 2). These results indicated that Eb3Mab-5 and Eb3Mab-11 can specifically detect EphB3 in flow cytometry.

3.2. Validation of Anti-EphB3 mAb Reactivity Using Flow Cytometry

Flow cytometric analysis was performed using Eb3Mab-5, Eb3Mab-11, and a commercially available anti-EphB3 mAb (clone 647354) on CHO-K1, CHO/EphB3, LS174T, and EphB3-knockout LS174T (BINDS-61) cells. Results showed that Eb3Mab-5, Eb3Mab-11, and 647354 recognized CHO/EphB3 in a dose-dependent manner (Figure 3A), but not parental CHO-K1 cells (Figure 3B). Both Eb3Mab-5, Eb3Mab-11, and 647354 also recognized LS174T cells in a dose-dependent manner (Figure 4A), but not BINDS-61 cells (Figure 4B). Eb3Mab-11 exhibited lower reactivity compared to Eb3Mab-5 and 647354. These results indicate that Eb3Mab-5 and Eb3Mab-11 can detect endogenous and exogenous EphB3 in flow cytometry.

3.3. Assessment of Binding Affinity Using Anti-EphB3 mAb

The binding affinity of anti-EphB3 mAbs was assessed with CHO/EphB3 and LS174T cells using flow cytometry. The results showed that the KD values of Eb3Mab-5 for CHO/EphB3 and LS174T were 7.6 ×10-9 M, 1.7 ×10-8 M, respectively (Figure 5A). In contrast, the KD values of 647354 for CHO/EphB3 and LS174T were 3.2 × 10-8 M and 2.3 × 10-8 M, respectively (Figure 5B). These results indicate that Eb3Mab-5 possesses a higher binding affinity for EphB3-positive cells compared to 647354. In contrast, the binding curves of Eb3Mab-11 did not reach a plateau, suggesting lower affinities for those cells (Supplementary Figure S1).

3.4. Western Blot Analysis Using Anti-EphB3 mAbs

Western blot analysis was performed to assess the availability of Eb3Mab-11, as preliminary analysis using supernatant from Eb3Mabs revealed that only Eb3Mab-11 was suitable for western blot analysis. Eb3Mab-11 and 647354 detected the ~100 kDa band of EphB3 in lysates from CHO/EphB3 (Figure 6), whereas this band was not present in lysates from CHO-K1. The results indicate that Eb3Mab-11 can detect EphB3 in western blot analysis.

3.5. IHC Using Anti-EphB3 mAbs

Eb3Mab-11 was assessed for IHC by staining FFPE CHO-K1 and CHO/EphB3 sections. Both Eb3Mab-11 (Figure 7A) and 647354 (Figure 7B) demonstrated membranous staining in CHO/EphB3 but not in CHO-K1, confirming their availability for IHC to identify EphB3-positive cells in FFPE cell blocks.

4. Discussion

In this study, we developed anti-human EphB3 mAbs, Eb3Mab-5 and Eb3Mab-11, using the CIBS method (Figure 1). We demonstrated that both anti-EphB3 mAbs specifically recognize EphB3 in CHO/EphB3 and LS174T cells but not in CHO-K1 or BINDS-61 cells in flow cytometry (Figure 3 and Figure 4). Additionally, they do not recognize other Eph-receptor-overexpressing CHO-K1 cells (Figure 2). Eb3Mab-5 has a higher binding affinity for CHO/EphB3 and LS174T (Figure 5) compared to Eb3Mab-11. Conversely, Eb3Mab-11 is a versatile mAb for detecting EphB3 in flow cytometry, western blot, and IHC. (Figure 6 and Figure 7). Among 17 clones of Eb3Mabs, Eb3Mab-11 is the only mAb suitable for multiple applications, and Eb3Mab-5 showed the highest reactivity to CHO/EphB3 in flow cytometry. The information has been updated on our website “Antibody bank (http://www.med-tohoku-antibody.com/topics/001_paper_antibody_PDIS.htm).”
We investigated EphB3 expression in several colorectal cancer cell lines using 647354 and found that LS174T exhibited the highest level of EphB3 (Figure 5). Since we previously confirmed that LS174T can make a tumor xenograft in nude mice [25], the antitumor efficacy of Eb3Mab-5 and Eb3Mab-11 could be evaluated in the model. To evaluate the antitumor efficacy of the Eb3Mabs, cloning of cDNA and production of class-switched recombinant mAbs are required. We have previously generated mouse IgG2a-type, human IgG1-type, and humanized recombinant mAbs to confer the antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and complement-dependent cytotoxicity [25]. Using these mAbs, antitumor activities were evaluated using mouse xenograft models [24,25]. We have initiated cloning of the cDNA of Eb3Mab-5 and Eb3Mab-11 and will evaluate their antitumor efficacy using class-switched (mouse IgG2a or human IgG1) mAbs.
A major challenge in CRC treatment is disease relapse caused by drug resistance [26]. In most CRC cases, patients eventually become resistant to anticancer agents [26]. Cetuximab has antitumor effects by preventing EGF from attaching to the extracellular part of EGFR, which stops ligand-driven EGFR signaling [27]. Cetuximab is linked to fewer side effects and has been demonstrated to extend survival in patients with metastatic CRC [28]. Although cetuximab resistance is also observed clinically, the molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Microarray analysis of cetuximab-resistant cells identified EphB3 as involved in resistance through complex formation with EGFR [29]. The EphB3-EGFR complex mediates STAT3 activation induced by EGF and cetuximab treatment in cetuximab-resistant CRC cells [29]. Combination therapy of cetuximab with an EphB3 tyrosine kinase inhibitor (LDN-211904 [30]) showed a potent antitumor efficacy through inhibition of STAT3-activation in the cetuximab-resistant CRC xenograft [29]. Anti-EphB3 mAbs, which inhibit the EphB3-EGFR complex formation, may overcome cetuximab resistance. Therefore, analyses of the binding epitope and biological activity of Eb3Mabs are necessary. Additionally, a class-switched mAb derived from Eb3Mabs might enhance therapy for cetuximab-resistant CRC.
