| Research Abstract |
CD26 is on cell surface of various types of cancers. It was shown humanized anti-CD26 monoclonal antibody(Ab) inhibited cancer cell growth and the Ab treatment induced nuclear translocation of both CD26 and YS110. In response to Ab treatment, it was revealed nuclear CD26 interacted with a genomic flanking region of POLR2A gene, a subunit of RNA polymerase II, using a chromatin immunoprecipitation assay. This interaction with nuclear CD26 and POLR2A gene consequently led to transcriptional repression of the POLR2A gene, resulting in retarded cell proliferation of cancer cells. Anti-cancer reagent X was conjugated with Ab, as a result X-Ab inhibited severely cancer cell growth as compaired with Ab only. It was revealed that Ab or X-Ab did not impair cell growth of normal human endothelial cell and T lymphocyte with CD26 expression. Xenografted human carcinomas were reduced significantly by X-Ab treatment as compared with Ab treatment.
