Recognition of dextran-superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle conjugates (Feridex) via macrophage scavenger receptor charged domains.

ABSTRACT: Dextran-coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (dextran-SPIO conjugates) offer the attractive possibility of enhancing MRI imaging sensitivity so that small or diffuse lesions can be detected. However, systemically injected SPIOs are rapidly removed by macrophages. We engineered embryonic cells (HEK293T) to express major macrophage scavenger receptor (SR) subtypes including SR-AI, MARCO, and endothelial receptor collectin-12. These SRs possess a positively charged collagen-like (CL) domain and they promoted SPIO uptake, while the charge neutral lipoprotein receptor SR-BI did not. In silico modeling indicated a positive net charge on the CL domain and a net negative charge on the cysteine-rich (CR) domain of MARCO and SR-AI. In vitro experiments revealed that CR domain deletion in SR-AI boosted uptake of SPIO 3-fold, while deletion of MARCO's CR domain abolished this uptake. These data suggest that future studies might productively focus on the validation and further exploration of SR charge fields in SPIO recognition.

Project description:Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) are employed as diagnostics and therapeutics following intravenous delivery for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in adult patients with chronic kidney failure. Neutrophils are the first defense against blood borne foreign insult and recruit to vascular sites of inflammation via a sequential process that is characterized by adhesive capture, rolling, and shear resistant arrest. A primary chemotactic agonist presented on the glycocalyx of inflamed endothelium is IL-8, which upon binding to its cognate membrane receptor (CXCR1/2) activates a suite of responses in neutrophils. An early response is degranulation with accompanying upregulation of β2-integrin (CD11/CD18) and shedding of L-selectin (CD62L) receptors, which exert differential effects on the efficiency of endothelial recruitment. Feraheme is an FDA approved SPION treatment for IDA, but its effect on the innate immune response of neutrophils during inflammation has not been reported. Here, we studied the immunomodulatory effects of Feraheme on neutrophils freshly isolated from healthy human subjects and stimulated in suspension or on inflammatory mimetic substrates with IL-8. Cells treated with Feraheme exhibited reduced sensitivity to stimulation with IL-8, indicated by reduced upregulation of membrane CD11b/CD18 receptors, high affinity (HA) CD18, and shedding of CD62L. Feraheme also inhibited N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP) induced reactive oxygen species production. Neutrophil rolling, arrest, and migration was assessed in vascular mimetic microfluidic channels coated with E-selectin and ICAM-1 to simulate inflamed endothelium. Neutrophils exposed to Feraheme rolled faster on E-selectin and arrested less frequently on ICAM-1, in a manner dependent upon SPION concentration. Subsequent neutrophil shape change, and migration were also significantly inhibited in the presence of Feraheme. Lastly, Feraheme accelerated clearance of cytosolic calcium flux following IL-8 stimulation. We conclude that uptake of Feraheme by neutrophils inhibits chemotactic activation and downregulates normal rolling to arrest under shear flow. The mechanism involves increased calcium clearance following chemotactic activation, which may diminish the efficiency of recruitment from the circulation at vascular sites of inflammation.
