Development of Facile and Versatile Platinum Drug Delivering Silicasome Nanocarriers for Efficient Pancreatic Cancer Chemo-Immunotherapy.

ABSTRACT: In this study a mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSNP) based platform is developed for high-dose loading of a range of activated platinum (Pt) chemo agents that can be attached to the porous interior through the use of electrostatic and coordination chemistry under weak-basic pH conditions. In addition to the design feature for improving drug delivery, the MSNP can also be encapsulated in a coated lipid bilayer (silicasome), to improve the colloidal stability after intravenous (IV) injection. Improved pharmacokinetics and intratumor delivery of encapsulated activated oxaliplatin (1,2-diamminocyclohexane platinum(II) (DACHPt)) over free drug in an orthotopic Kras-derived pancreatic cancer (PDAC) model is demonstrated. Not only does IV injection of the DACHPt silicasome provide more efficacious cytotoxic tumor cell killing, but can also demonstrate that chemotherapy-induced cell death is accompanied by the features of immunogenic cell death (ICD) as well as a dramatic reduction in bone marrow toxicity. The added ICD features are reflected by calreticulin and high-mobility group box 1 expression, along with increased CD8⁺ /FoxP3⁺ T-cell ratios and evidence of perforin and granzyme B release at the tumor site. Subsequent performance of a survival experiment, demonstrates that the DACHPt silicasome generates a significant improvement in survival outcome, which can be extended by delayed administration of the anti-PD-1 antibody.

Project description:Irinotecan is a key chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of colorectal (CRC) and pancreatic (PDAC) cancer. Because of a high incidence of bone marrow and gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity, Onivyde (a liposome) was introduced to provide encapsulated irinotecan (Ir) delivery in PDAC patients. While there is an ongoing clinical trial (NCT02551991) to investigate the use of Onivyde as a first-line option to replace irinotecan in FOLFIRINOX, the liposomal formulation is currently prescribed as a second-line treatment option (in combination with 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin) for patients with metastatic PDAC who failed gemcitabine therapy. However, the toxicity of Onivyde remains a concern that needs to be addressed for use in CRC as well. Our goal was to custom design a mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSNP) carrier for encapsulated irinotecan delivery in a robust CRC model. This was achieved by developing an orthotopic tumor chunk model in immunocompetent mice. With a view to increase the production volume and to expand the disease applications, the carrier design was improved by using an ethanol exchange method for coating of a supported lipid bilayer (LB) that entraps a protonating agent. The encapsulated protonating agent was subsequently used for remote loading of irinotecan. The excellent irinotecan loading capacity and stability of the LB-coated MSNP carrier, also known as a "silicasome", previously showed improved efficacy and reduced toxicity when compared to an in-house liposomal carrier in a PDAC model. Intravenous injection of the silicasomes in a well-developed orthotopic colon cancer model in mice demonstrated improved pharmacokinetics and tumor drug content over free drug and Onivyde. Moreover, improved drug delivery was accompanied by substantially improved efficacy, increased survival, and reduced bone marrow and GI toxicity compared to the free drug and Onivyde. We also confirmed that the custom-designed irinotecan silicasomes outperform Onivyde in an orthotopic PDAC model. In summary, the Ir-silicasome appears to be promising as a treatment option for CRC in humans based on improved efficacy and the carrier's favorable safety profile.
