Dual-binding nanoparticles improve the killing effect of T cells on solid tumor.

ABSTRACT: Adoptive cell therapy (ACT) was one of the most promising anti-tumor modalities that has been confirmed to be especially effective in treating hematological malignancies. However, the clinical efficacy of ACT on solid tumor was greatly hindered by the insufficient tumor-infiltration of cytotoxic CD8 + T cells. Herein, we constructed a nanoplatform termed dual-binding magnetic nanoparticles (DBMN) that comprised PEG-maleimide (Mal), hyaluronic acid (HA) and Fe₃O₄ for adoptive T cell-modification and ACT-sensitization. After a simple co-incubation, DBMN was anchored onto the cell membrane (Primary linking) via Michael addition reaction between the Mal and the sulfhydryl groups on the surface of T cells, generating magnetized T cells (DBMN-T). Directed by external magnetic field and in-structure Fe₃O₄, DBMN-T was recruited to solid tumor where HA bond with the highly expressed CD44 on tumor cells (Secondary Linking), facilitating the recognition and effector-killing of tumor cells. Bridging adoptive T cells with host tumor cells, our DBMN effectively boosted the anti-solid tumor efficacy of ACT in a mouse model and simultaneously reduced toxic side effects.

Project description:Magnetic and temperature-sensitive solid lipid particles (mag. SLPs) were prepared in the presence of oleic acid-coated iron oxide (IO-OA) nanoparticles with 1-tetradecanol and poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(ε-caprolactone) as lipid and stabilizing surfactant-like agents, respectively. The particles, typically ~850 nm in hydrodynamic size, showed heat dissipation under the applied alternating magnetic field. Cytotoxic activity of the mag.SLPs, non-magnetic SLPs, and iron oxide nanoparticles was compared concerning the mammalian cancer cell lines and their drug-resistant counterparts using trypan blue exclusion test and MTT assay. The mag.SLPs exhibited dose-dependent cytotoxicity against human leukemia cell lines growing in suspension (Jurkat and HL-60/wt), as well as the doxorubicin (Dox)- and vincristine-resistant HL-60 sublines. The mag.SLPs showed higher cytotoxicity toward drug-resistant sublines as compared to Dox. The human glioblastoma cell line U251 growing in a monolayer culture was also sensitive to mag.SLPs cytotoxicity. Staining of U251 cells with the fluorescent dyes Hoechst 33342 and propidium iodide (PI) revealed that mag.SLPs treatment resulted in an increased number of cells with condensed chromatin and/or fragmented nuclei as well as with blebbing of the plasma membranes. While the Hoechst 33342 staining of cell suggested the pro-apoptotic activity of the particles, the PI staining indicated the pro-necrotic changes in the target cells. These conclusions were confirmed by Western blot analysis of apoptosis-related proteins, study of DNA fragmentation (DNA laddering due to the inter-nucleosomal cleavage and DNA comets due to single strand breaks), as well as by FACS analysis of the patterns of cell cycle distribution (pre-G1 phase) and Annexin V/PI staining of the treated Jurkat cells. The induction of apoptosis or necrosis by the particles used to treat Jurkat cells depended on the dose of the particles. Production of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) was proposed as a potential mechanism of mag.SLPs-induced cytotoxicity. Accordingly, hydrogen peroxide and superoxide radical levels in mag.SLPs-treated Jurkat leukemic cells were increased by ~20-40 and ~70%, respectively. In contrast, the non-magnetic SLPs and neat iron oxides did not influence ROS levels significantly. Thus, the developed mag.SLPs can be used for effective killing of human tumor cells, including drug-resistant ones.

Project description:BackgroundAntibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are intended to bind to specific positive target antigens and eradicate only tumor cells from an intracellular released payload through the lysosomal protease. Payloads, such as MMAE, have the capacity to kill adjacent antigen-negative (Ag-) tumor cells, which is called the bystander-killing effect, as well as directly kill antigen-positive (Ag+) tumor cells. We propose that a dose-response curve should be independently considered to account for target antigen-positive/negative tumor cells.MethodsA model was developed to account for the payload in Ag+/Ag- cells and the associated parameters were applied. A tumor growth inhibition (TGI) effect was explored based on an ordinary differential equation (ODE) after substituting the payload concentration in Ag+/Ag- cells into an Emax model, which accounts for the dose-response curve. To observe the bystander-killing effects based on the amount of Ag+/Ag- cells, the Emax model is used independently. TGI models based on ODE are unsuitable for describing the initial delay through a tumor-drug interaction. This was solved using an age-structured model based on the stochastic process.Resultsβ∈(0,1] is a fraction parameter that determines the proportion of cells that consist of Ag+/Ag- cells. The payload concentration decreases when the ratio of efflux to influx increases. The bystander-killing effect differs with varying amounts of Ag+ cells. The larger β is, the less bystander-killing effect. The decrease of the bystander-killing effect becomes stronger as Ag+ cells become larger than the Ag- cells. Overall, the ratio of efflux to influx, the amount of released payload, and the proportion of Ag+ cells determine the efficacy of the ADC. The tumor inhibition delay through a payload-tumor interaction, which goes through several stages, may be solved using an age-structured model.ConclusionsThe bystander-killing effect, one of the most important topics of ADCs, has been explored in several studies without the use of modeling. We propose that the bystander-killing effect can be captured through a mathematical model when considering the Ag+ and Ag- cells. In addition, the TGI model based on the age-structure can capture the initial delay through a drug interaction as well as the bystander-killing effect.
