Two murine models, C3H 38C13 B-cell lymphoma and AKR SL2 T-cell lymphoma were used to determine the efficacy of three different interferon preparations, recombinant human hybrid interferon-alpha A/D, recombinant murine interferon (rMIFN)-gamma, and natural MIFN-alpha/beta (greater than or equal to 85% beta), alone and in combination with tumor specific and nonspecific monoclonal antibody therapy. All three interferon preparations have direct in vitro antigrowth activity for 38C13 and SL2. All three interferons have direct antitumor activity in vivo for 38C13 lymphoma at high doses; however, none of these interferons has independent antitumor activity for SL2 in vivo. These data indicate that there is no relationship between in vitro growth cytostasis/cytolysis and in vivo antitumor response. All three interferon preparations will potentiate both tumor specific and nonspecific monoclonal antibody therapy. Natural MIFN-alpha/beta and recombinant human hybrid interferon-alpha A/D, which should share a common cell surface receptor, had similar antitumor activity in both models. Combining recombinant human hybrid interferon-alpha A/D and rMIFN-gamma therapy was not additive for 38C13 lymphoma and a three-way combination with antiidiotype was not significantly more effective than combination therapy with one interferon type. In general, rMIFN-gamma was more effective in in vivo combination therapy against the s.c. T-cell lymphoma than against the i.p. B-cell lymphoma and was more synergistic with anti-Thy1.1 than with antiidiotype.

Binding of HPMA copolymer-conjugated doxorubicin targeted with monoclonal antibodies directed against various T-cell surface receptors, i.e. Thy1.2 (CDw90), I-A (MHC class II. glycoprotein), L3T4 (CD4), IL-2R (CD25) and CD3, is considerably increased in Con A stimulated T-lymphocytes. FACS analysis showed that the binding is most intensive with anti-Thy1.2 and anti-L3T4 targeted derivatives and it is proportional to the antiproliferative effect of the antibody-targeted drug. No binding and no antiproliferative capacity was observed after in vitro incubation of mouse T-cells with a nonspecific mouse IgG-HPMA-DOX conjugate. [3H]-TdR incorporation was inhibited considerably more in Con A stimulated T-cell culture and in EL4 mouse T-cell lymphoma as compared with the culture of nonactivated T-lymphocytes. This proves that intensively proliferating cells are more susceptible to the inhibitory action of an antibody-targeted drug. The cytotoxic efficacy of HPMA copolymer with GlyPheLeuGly or GlyLeuPheGly side-chains to which the drug is conjugated was superior to HPMA copolymer with GlyPheGly or GlyLeuGly side-chains. However, there is no direct correlation between the rate of in vitro drug release and the in vitro cytotoxicity of the respective conjugates. This suggests that the rate of drug release from the conjugate is only one factor responsible for the pharmacological efficacy of the preparation. Furthermore, we detected substantial and prolonged inhibition of proliferation of Con A activated T-cells only if doxorubicin was injected in vivo in the form of an anti-Thy1.2-targeted conjugate.

Internalization and subcellular fate of free doxorubicin or its polymeric conjugates based on poly N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide (pHPMA), either non-targeted or targeted with anti-Thy1.2 or anti-CD71 monoclonal antibody was tested on EL-4 mouse T-cell lymphoma, SW620 human colorectal carcinoma and OVCAR-3 human ovarian adenocarcinoma. Doxorubicin fluorescence allowed us to follow the internalization and intracellular distribution of tested conjugates by laser scanning confocal microscopy and/or by fluorescent microscopy. Whereas free doxorubicin was always detectable only in the nuclei of treated cells, detectable fluorescence of doxorubicin bound to a polymeric carrier, targeted or non-targeted, was detectable up to 3 days of incubation only in the cytoplasmatic structures. While free doxorubicin causes apoptosis in the populations of tested cancer cell lines, significant number of apoptotic cells was never found in cell cultures exposed to targeted or non-targeted polymeric conjugates. In contrast to free doxorubicin, which is a strong inducer of p53 expression, increased p53 expression was never observed after the treatment with the polymeric drug. High-performance liquid chromatographic analysis shows that the percentage of cleaved doxorubicin is very low even after 48 h of incubation of tested cells with the polymeric conjugate, and cannot be the only reason for the toxicity of the conjugate. We suggest that: (a) after the treatment with pHPMA-bound drug, the cells die by necrosis and (b) the toxicity of pHPMA-based conjugates is a combination of the toxic effect of released doxorubicin and the toxic effect of doxorubicin in polymer-bound form directed against cell membranes.

A novel canine lymphoma cell line, OSW, was established from the malignant pleural effusion of a dog with peripheral T-cell lymphoma. The immunoprofile as determined by flow cytometry was as follows: positive for CD45, CD49d, CD18, CD11a; weakly positive for CD11b, CD11c, CD11d; and negative for CD45RA, CD1a, CD1c, CD3, TCRalphabeta, TCRgammadelta, CD4, CD5, CD8a, CD8b, CD90(Thy1), CD21, MHCII, CD14(TUK4), CD34, and MPO. Immunocytochemistry of cytospin preparations was negative for cytoplasmic CD3, CD79a, and MPO, but was positive for CD20. The cell line had an oligoclonal T-cell receptor gamma (TCRgamma) gene rearrangement. Array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) and single locus probe (SLP) analysis showed that there were copy number increases of loci on dog chromosome 13 (CFA 13), and copy number decreases were evident for regions of CFA 11, 22, 26, 30 and 32, which include several of the more common chromosomal aberrations reported previously in canine lymphoma. The OSW cell line grows rapidly in vitro and is tumorigenic as a xenograft in SCID/NOD mice. OSW represents one of only a few reported canine lymphoma cell lines and is the most thoroughly characterized. This cell line and xenograft represent significant in vitro and in vivo models, respectively, for comparative and translational lymphoma research.
