Loss of CD20 and bound CD20 antibody from opsonized B cells occurs more rapidly because of trogocytosis mediated by Fc receptor-expressing effector cells than direct internalization by the B cells.

چکیده
We previously reported that 1 h after infusion of CD20 mAb rituximab in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), >80% of CD20 was removed from circulating B cells, and we replicated this finding, based on in vitro models. This reaction occurs via an endocytic process called shaving/trogocytosis, mediated by FcγR on acceptor cells including monocytes/macrophages, which remove and internalize rituximab-CD20 immune complexes from B cells. Beers et al. reported that CD20 mAb-induced antigenic modulation occurs as a result of internalization of B cell-bound mAb-CD20 complexes by the B cells themselves, with internalization of ∼40% observed after 2 h at 37°C. These findings raise fundamental questions regarding the relative importance of shaving versus internalization in promoting CD20 loss and have substantial implications for the design of mAb-based cancer therapies. Therefore, we performed direct comparisons, based on flow cytometry, to determine the relative rates and extent of shaving versus internalization. B cells, from cell lines, from patients with CLL, and from normal donors, were opsonized with CD20 mAbs rituximab or ofatumumab and incubated for varying times and then reacted with acceptor THP-1 monocytes to promote shaving. We find that shaving induces considerably greater loss of CD20 and bound mAb from opsonized B cells in much shorter time periods (75-90% in <45 min) than is observed for internalization. Both shaving/trogocytosis and internalization could contribute to CD20 loss when CLL patients receive rituximab therapy, but shaving should occur more rapidly and is most likely to be the key mechanism of CD20 loss.

Since approval of rituximab for treatment of B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, development of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for cancer treatment and elucidation of their cytotoxic mechanisms have been subject to intense investigations. Compelling evidence indicates that rituximab and another CD20 mAb, ofatumumab, must use the body's cellular and humoral immune effector functions to kill malignant cel...

Background and Objectives: Rituximab is an anti-CD20 chimeric monoclonal antibody widely used for the treatment of malignant B cells lymphoma. However, the immunogenicity of murine-derived monoclonal antibodies and the large size of full length antibodies restrict cancer immunotherapy. Humanized single chain antibodies can be a solution and a promising alternative for application in immunothera...

The B cell is a vital contributor to humoral immunity. The B cell-specific antigen CD20 is expressed during B cell development, starting at the pre-B cell level and persists through B cell differentiation, but is lost during terminal differentiation to plasma cells. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody that destroys both normal and malignant B cells that have CD20 on their surfaces and is ther...
