Comparative binding, endocytosis, and biodistribution of antibodies and antibody-coated carriers for targeted delivery of lysosomal enzymes to ICAM-1 versus transferrin receptor.

ABSTRACT: Targeting lysosomal enzymes to receptors involved in transport into and across cells holds promise to enhance peripheral and brain delivery of enzyme replacement therapies (ERTs) for lysosomal storage disorders. Receptors being explored include those associated with clathrin-mediated pathways, yet other pathways seem also viable. Well characterized examples are that of transferrin receptor (TfR) and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), involved in iron transport and leukocyte extravasation, respectively. TfR and ICAM-1 support ERT delivery via clathrin- vs. cell adhesion molecule-mediated mechanisms, displaying different valency and size restrictions. To comparatively assess this, we used antibodies vs. larger multivalent antibody-coated carriers and evaluated TfR vs. ICAM-1 binding and endocytosis in endothelial cells, as well as in vivo biodistribution and delivery of a model lysosomal enzyme required in peripheral organs and brain: acid sphingomyelinase (ASM), deficient in types A-B Niemann Pick disease. We found similar binding of antibodies to both receptors under control conditions, with enhanced binding to activated endothelium for ICAM-1, yet only anti-TfR induced endocytosis efficiently. Contrarily, antibody-coated carriers showed enhanced binding, engulfment, and endocytosis for ICAM-1. In mice, anti-TfR enhanced brain targeting over anti-ICAM, with an opposite outcome in the lungs, while carriers enhanced ICAM-1 targeting over TfR in both organs. Both targeted carriers enhanced ASM delivery to the brain and lungs vs. free ASM, with greater enhancement for anti-ICAM carriers. Therefore, targeting TfR or ICAM-1 improves lysosomal enzyme delivery. Yet, TfR targeting may be more efficient for smaller conjugates or fusion proteins, while ICAM-1 targeting seems superior for multivalent carrier formulations.

Project description:Drug delivery to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is key for improving treatment of GI maladies, developing oral vaccines, and facilitating drug transport into circulation. However, delivery of formulations to the GI tract is hindered by pH changes, degradative enzymes, mucus, and peristalsis, leading to poor GI retention. Targeting may prolong residence of therapeutics in the GI tract and enhance their interaction with this tissue, improving such aspects. We evaluated nanocarrier (NC) and ligand-mediated targeting in the GI tract following gastric gavage in mice. We compared GI biodistribution, degradation, and endocytosis between control antibodies and antibodies targeting the cell surface determinant intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), expressed on GI epithelium and other cell types. These antibodies were administered either as free entities or coated onto polymer NCs. Fluorescence and radioisotope tracing showed proximal accumulation, with preferential retention in the stomach, jejunum, and ileum; and minimal presence in the duodenum, cecum, and colon by 1 hour after administration. Upstream (gastric) retention was enhanced in NC formulations, with decreased downstream (jejunal) accumulation. Of the total dose delivered to the GI tract, ?60% was susceptible to enzymatic (but not pH-mediated) degradation, verified both in vitro and in vivo. Attenuation of peristalsis by sedation increased upstream retention (stomach, duodenum, and jejunum). Conversely, alkaline NaHCO(3), which enhances GI transit by decreasing mucosal viscosity, favored downstream (ileal) passage. This suggests passive transit through the GI tract, governed by mucoadhesion and peristalsis. In contrast, both free anti-ICAM and anti-ICAM NCs demonstrated significantly enhanced upstream (stomach and duodenum) retention when compared to control IgG counterparts, suggesting GI targeting. This was validated by transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, which revealed anti-ICAM NCs in vesicular compartments within duodenal epithelial cells. These results will guide future work aimed at improving intraoral delivery of targeted therapeutics for the treatment of GI pathologies.

Project description:Targeting of drug carriers to cell adhesion molecules expressed on endothelial cells (ECs) may improve treatment of diseases involving the vascular endothelium. This is the case for carriers targeted to intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), an endothelial surface protein overexpressed in many pathologies. In order to optimize our design of anti-ICAM carriers, we have explored in this study the influence of two carrier design parameters on specific and efficient endothelial targeting in vitro and in vivo: carrier dose and density of targeting molecules (antibodies-Ab) on the carrier surface. Using radioisotope tracing we assessed the role of these parameters on the biodistribution of model polymer carriers targeted to ICAM-1 ((125)I-anti-ICAM carriers) in mice. Increasing the carrier dose enhanced specific accumulation in the lung vasculature (a preferential endothelial target) and decreased non-specific hepatic and splenic uptake. Increasing the Ab density enhanced lung accumulation with minimally reduced liver and spleen uptake. These studies account for the influence of blood hydrodynamic forces on carrier binding to endothelium, relevant to arterioles, venules and larger vessels. Yet, carriers may rather bind to the extensive capillary bed where shear stress is minimal. We used fluorescence microscopy to determine binding kinetics of FITC-labeled anti-ICAM carriers in static conditions, at the threshold found in vivo and conditions mimicking low vs high ICAM-1 expression on quiescent vs activated ECs. Binding to activated ECs reached similar saturation with all tested Ab densities and carrier concentrations. In quiescent cells, carriers reached ~3-fold lower binding saturation, even at high carrier concentration and Ab density, and carriers with low Ab density did not reach saturation, reflecting avidity below threshold. Binding kinetics was positively regulated by anti-ICAM carrier concentration and Ab density. Counterintuitively, binding was faster in quiescent ECs (except for carriers with high Ab density and concentration), likely due to fast saturation of fewer binding sites on these cells. These results will guide optimization of ICAM-1-targeted carriers, e.g., in the context of targeting healthy vs diseased endothelium for prophylactic vs therapeutic interventions.
