Successful Incorporation of Exosome-Capturing Antibody-siRNA Complexes into Multiple Myeloma Cells and Suppression of Targeted mRNA Transcripts.

ABSTRACT: Nucleic acid medicines have been developed as new therapeutic agents against various diseases; however, targeted delivery of these reagents into cancer cells, particularly hematologic cancer cells, via systemic administration is limited by the lack of efficient and cell-specific delivery systems. We previously demonstrated that monoclonal antibody (mAb)-oligonucleotide complexes targeting exosomal microRNAs with linear oligo-D-arginine (Arg) linkers were transferred into solid cancer cells and inhibited exosomal miRNA functions. In this study, we developed exosome-capturing anti-CD63 mAb-conjugated small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) with branched Arg linkers and investigated their effects on multiple myeloma (MM) cells. Anti-CD63 mAb-conjugated siRNAs were successfully incorporated into MM cells. The incorporation of exosomes was inhibited by endocytosis inhibitors. We also conducted a functional analysis of anti-CD63 mAb-conjugated siRNAs. Ab-conjugated luciferase+ (luc+) siRNAs significantly decreased the luminescence intensity in OPM-2-luc+ cells. Moreover, treatment with anti-CD63 mAb-conjugated with MYC and CTNNB1 siRNAs decreased the mRNA transcript levels of MYC and CTNNB1 to 52.5% and 55.3%, respectively, in OPM-2 cells. In conclusion, exosome-capturing Ab-conjugated siRNAs with branched Arg linkers can be effectively delivered into MM cells via uptake of exosomes by parental cells. This technology has the potential to lead to a breakthrough in drug delivery systems for hematologic cancers.

Project description:BackgroundDespite the advances in the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM), complete remission is usually challenging. The interactions between tumor and host cells, in which exosomes (EXs) play critical roles, have been shown to be among the major deteriorative tumor-promoting factors herein. Therefore, any endeavor to beneficially target these EX-mediated interactions could be of high importance.Objectivesa) To investigate the effects of myeloma EXs on natural killer (NK) cell functions. b) To check whether treatment of myeloma cells with eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) or docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), two polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids with known anti-cancer effects, can modify myeloma EXs in terms of their effects on natural killer functions.MethodsL363 cells were treated with either EPA or DHA or left untreated and the released EXs (designated as E-EX, D-EX and C-EX, respectively) were used to treat NK cells for functional studies.ResultsMyeloma EXs (C-EXs) significantly reduced NK cytotoxicity against K562 cells (P ≤ 0.05), while the cytotoxicity suppression was significantly lower (P ≤ 0.05) in the (E-EX)- and (D-EX)-treated NK cells compared to the (C-EX)-treated cells. The expression of the activating NK receptor NKG2D and NK degranulation, after treatment with the EXs, were both altered following the same pattern. However, C-EXs could increase IFN-γ production in NK cells (P < 0.01), which was not significantly affected by EPA/DHA treatment. This indicates a dual effect of myeloma EXs on NK cells functions.ConclusionOur observations showed that myeloma EXs have both suppressive and stimulatory effects on different NK functions. Treatment of myeloma cells with EPA/DHA can reduce the suppressive effects of myeloma EXs while maintaining their stimulatory effects. These findings, together with the previous findings on the anti-cancer effects of EPA/DHA, provide stronger evidence for the repositioning of the currently existing EPA/DHA supplements to be used in the treatment of MM as an adjuvant treatment. EXs released from L363 (myeloma) cells in their steady state increase IFN-γ production of NK cells, while reduce their cytotoxicity against the K562 cell line (right blue trace). EXs from L363 cells pre-treated with either EPA or DHA are weaker stimulators of IFN-γ production. These EXs also increase NK cytotoxicity and NKG2D expression (left brown trace) compared to the EXs obtained from untreated L363 cells. Based on these findings, myeloma EXs have both suppressive and stimulatory effects on different NK functions depending on the properties of their cells of origin, which can be exploited in the treatment of myeloma.
