Successful anti-tumor effects with two novel bifunctional chemotherapeutic compounds that combine a LAT1 substrate with cytotoxic moieties in aggressive T-cell lymphomas

T-cell lymphomas are aggressive neoplasms characterized by poor responses to current chemotherapeutic agents. Expression of the l-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT 1, SLC7A5) allows for the expansion of healthy T-cell counterparts, and upregulation of LAT1 has been reported in precursor T-cell acut...

description T-cell lymphomas are aggressive neoplasms characterized by poor responses to current chemotherapeutic agents. Expression of the l-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT 1, SLC7A5) allows for the expansion of healthy T-cell counterparts, and upregulation of LAT1 has been reported in precursor T-cell acute leukemia. Therefore, the expression of LAT1 was evaluated in a cohort of cutaneous and peripheral T-cell lymphomas. The findings demonstrated that LAT1 is upregulated in aggressive variants and absent in low-grade or indolent disease such as mycosis fungoides. In addition, upregulated LAT1 expression was seen in a large proportion of aggressive peripheral T-cell lymphomas, including peripheral T-cell lymphoma not otherwise specific (PTCL-NOS) and angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL). The anti-tumor effects of two novel non-cleavable and bifunctional compounds, QBS10072S and QBS10096S, that combine a potent cytotoxic chemotherapeutic domain (tertiary N-bis(2-chloroethyl)amine) with the structural features of a selective LAT1 substrate (aromatic β-amino acid) were tested in vitro and in vivo in T-cell lymphoma cell lines. The findings demonstrated decreased survival of T-cell lymphoma lines with both compounds. Overall, the results demonstrate that LAT1 is a valuable biomarker for aggressive T-cell lymphoma counterparts and QBS10072S and QBS10096S are successful therapeutic options for these aggressive diseases.
