Abstract

The present invention relates to a novel antibody that specifically binds to IGSF1, and a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating cancer, comprising the antibody as an active ingredient. In particular, the present invention provides an antibody that binds to the C-terminus of IGSF1. The anti-IGSF1 antibody according to the present invention showed high specificity and high binding ability to IGSF1. When lung cancer cell spheroids in which IGSF1 is overexpressed were co-cultured with human peripheral mononuclear cells, the anti-IGSF1 antibody according to the present invention increased the infiltration of immune cells into the spheroids. In addition, the anti-IGSF1 antibody according to the present invention inhibited tumor growth and increased the expression of cytokines in tumor tissues in humanized mice transplanted with human lung cancer cells in which IGSF1 is overexpressed. From the above results, it was confirmed that the anti-IGSF1 antibody can inhibit tumor growth by increasing the infiltration of immune cells and immune responses into lung cancer tissues in which IGSF1 expression is increased. Therefore, the anti-IGSF1 antibody can be used as an anticancer agent for effectively treating cancers in which IGSF1 is overexpressed.
