Anti-GD2 antibody and Vorinostat immunocombination therapy is highly effective in an aggressive orthotopic neuroblastoma model

Neuroblastoma is a childhood malignancy and in the majority of patients, the primary tumor arises in one of the adrenal glands. Neuroblastoma cells highly express the disialoganglioside GD2, which is the primary target for the development of neuroblastoma immunotherapy. Anti-GD2 mAbs have shown clin...

description Neuroblastoma is a childhood malignancy and in the majority of patients, the primary tumor arises in one of the adrenal glands. Neuroblastoma cells highly express the disialoganglioside GD2, which is the primary target for the development of neuroblastoma immunotherapy. Anti-GD2 mAbs have shown clinical efficacy and are integrated into standard treatment for high-risk neuroblastoma patients. We previously reported synergy between the HDAC inhibitor Vorinostat and anti-GD2 mAbs in a heterotopic, subcutaneous growing neuroblastoma model. Additionally, we have previously developed an orthotopic intra-adrenal neuroblastoma model showing more aggressive tumor growth. Here, we report that anti-GD2 mAb and Vorinostat immunocombination therapy is even more effective in suppressing neuroblastoma growth in the aggressive orthotopic model, resulting in increased animal survival. Intra-adrenal tumors from mice treated with Vorinostat were highly infiltrated with myeloid cells, including macrophages, displaying increased MHCII and Fc-receptor expression. Collectively, these data provide a strong rationale for clinical testing of anti-GD2 mAbs with concomitant Vorinostat in neuroblastoma patients.
