Multimodal Enzyme Delivery and Therapy Enabled by Cell Membrane-Coated Metal-Organic Framework Nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: Therapeutic enzymes used for genetic disorders or metabolic diseases oftentimes suffer from suboptimal pharmacokinetics and stability. Nanodelivery systems have shown considerable promise for improving the performance of enzyme therapies. Here, we develop a cell membrane-camouflaged metal-organic framework (MOF) system with enhanced biocompatibility and functionality. The MOF core can efficiently encapsulate enzymes while maintaining their bioactivity. After the introduction of natural cell membrane coatings, the resulting nanoformulations can be safely administered in vivo. The surface receptors on the membrane can also provide additional functionalities that synergize with the encapsulated enzyme to target disease pathology from multiple dimensions. Employing uricase as a model enzyme, we demonstrate the utility of this approach in multiple animal disease models. The results support the use of cell membrane-coated MOFs for enzyme delivery, and this strategy could be leveraged to improve the usefulness of enzyme-based therapies for managing a wide range of important human health conditions.

Project description:BackgroundA number of immunotherapeutic approaches have been developed and are entering the clinic. Bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) are one of these modalities and induce robust efficacy by endogenous T cells in several hematological malignancies. However, most of the treated patients experience only a temporary benefit. Currently available BsAbs provide only anti-CD3 antibody-mediated T-cell stimulation, but not the costimulation or cytokine signaling essential for full T-cell activation. Here, we hypothesized that the simultaneous input of more comprehensive signals would elicit more robust and durable effector T-cell functions.MethodsWe genetically engineered the leukemia cell line K562 to express BsAbs, costimulatory ligands, cytokines, and blocking antibodies against immune checkpoint molecules on the cell surface, from which we obtained plasma membrane fractions by mechanical homogenization and subsequent isolation steps. Plasma membranes were reconstituted on the poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) surface to generate membrane-coated nanoparticles (NPs). Alternatively, nano-sized membrane vesicles (MVs) were generated by ultrasonic dispersion of the isolated membranes. The antitumor function of NPs and MVs loaded with various immunomodulatory factors was evaluated in vitro and in vivo.ResultsBoth membrane-coated NPs and MVs induced BsAb-mediated antigen-specific cytotoxic activity in non-specific T cells, with MVs inducing a slightly better response in vivo. Importantly, T-cell activation was elicited only in the presence of target tumor cells, providing a safety advantage for clinical use. NPs and MVs expressing costimulatory molecules (CD80/4-1BBL) and cytokines (interleukin (IL)-7/IL-15) further enhanced effector T-cell function and induced therapeutic efficacy in vivo. In addition, MVs expressing immune checkpoint antibodies and inflammatory cytokines IL-12 and IL-18 induced objective antitumor responses in solid tumor models partly by converting immunosuppressive macrophages to proinflammatory phenotypes and inducing cytotoxic T-cell infiltration into the tumor. Finally, we showed that MVs were also engineered to activate natural killer (NK) cells by loading multiple ligands. MVs loaded with BsAbs, 4-1BBL, IL-15, and IL-21 induced NK-cell cytotoxic activity in an antigen-specific manner.ConclusionsWe developed antitumor NPs and MVs that efficiently induced antitumor immune responses in vivo by simultaneously delivering multiple immunostimulatory signals to endogenous T cells. This platform enables the delivery of desired combinations of antitumor immune signals into T cells and NK cells.
