Obinutuzumab for Follicular Lymphoma

Obinutuzumab is used to treat follicular lymphoma. Antibody-dependent cytotoxicity (ADCC) is the main mode by which obinutuzumab works. This article shares the study of the mechanism of ADCC resistance induced by obinutuzumab.

Obinutuzumab

Obinutuzumab is the first individualized, glycosylated type II anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody in the world, which brings new hope to patients due to its higher antibody stability, stronger DCD and ADCC.

Advantages Obinutuzumab is a glycosylated second-generation CD20 monoclonal antibody.
Its killing effect on tumors, that is, ADCC, and the ability to directly induce apoptosis of tumor cells is significantly improved.
There is a decline in immune inflammation, which means that the incidence of allergic reactions will be relatively small and mild.
Side Effect Obinutuzumab will have a slightly higher rate of infection

Follicular Lymphoma

Follicular lymphoma is one of the most common types of indolent lymphoma. Its characteristic is that the progress is relatively slow and it is not easy to cure. There are three challenges to the treatment of follicular lymphoma. The first is that nearly 20% of patients will develop early progression, resulting in a poor prognosis for patients. The second is that most FL cannot be completely cured, and often recur. Third, there are still some FL that will transform into large B-cell lymphomas.

Method

In this study, obinutuzumab-induced ADCC-resistant cells were established using the non-Hodgkin lymphoma cell line RL. Drug resistance mechanisms were comprehensively analyzed by RNA sequencing.

Results

Here are some results for obinutuzumab in this study:

Effect of FAS signaling on ADCC sensitivity in RL cells of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Fig.3 Effect of FAS signaling on ADCC sensitivity in RL cells of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. (Kawasaki, 2022)

Establishment and characterization of obinentuzumab-induced ADCC-resistant clones. Fig.4 Effect of obinutuzumab plus prednisolone on sensitivity and antitumor efficacy of ADCC. (Kawasaki, 2022)

Establishment and characterization of obinentuzumab-induced ADCC-resistant clones. Fig.5 Effect of bendamustine plus obinutuzumab on ADCC activity. (Kawasaki, 2022)

Conclusion

In this article, the mechanism of obinutuzumab-induced ADCC resistance was further explored. ADCC resistance can be overcome by combining obinutuzumab with bendamustine or prednisolone. The above studies provide a strong scientific basis for the treatment of follicular lymphoma with obinutuzumab.
