Recent evidence suggests that Notch signaling may play a role in regulation of cancer stem cell (CSC) self-renewal and differentiation hence presenting a promising target for development of novel therapies for aggressive cancers such as triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). We generated Notch1 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that specifically bind to the negative regulatory region of human Notch1. Notch1 inhibition in TNBC Sum149 and patient derived xenograft (PDX) 144580 models led to significant TGI particularly in combination with docetaxel. More interestingly, Notch1 mAbs caused a reduction in mammosphere formation and CD44+/CD24-/lo cell population. It also resulted in decreased tumor incidence upon re-implantation and delay in tumor recurrence. Our data demonstrated a potent antitumor efficacy of Notch1 mAbs, with a remarkable activity against CSCs. These findings suggest that anti-Notch1 mAbs may provide novel therapies to improve the efficacy of conventional therapies by directly targeting the CSC niche. They may also delay tumor recurrence and hence have a major impact on cancer patient survival. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
