Outline of Final Research Achievements

Podoplanin (PDPN) is a platelet aggregation-inducing mucin-like sialoglycoprotein that is highly expressed in many cancers and normal tissues. PDPN has also been reported to be a marker to enrich tumor-initiating cells. Recently, we established the platform to produce a cancer-specific mAb (CasMab) by combining glycobiology and cell engineering technologies. In this study, we also established glycan-deficient CHO-S and HEK-293T cell lines, using the CRISPR/Cas or TALEN. We investigate several novel cancer-specific anti-PDPN or anti-glycopeptide mAbs. Antitumor activity of chimeric anti-human PDPN antibodies were validated. The CasMab-producing platform could lead to establishment of the side effect-reducing mAbs.
