Nanoparticles targeting dendritic cell surface molecules effectively block T cell conjugation and shift response.

ABSTRACT: Dendritic cells (DCs) are potent professional antigen presenting cells (APC) that activate nai?ve T cells. Interaction of ICAM-1 and LFA-1 molecules on each cell is required for T cell conjugation to DCs, which leads to nai?ve CD4+ T cell activation and proliferation. Nanoparticles capable of blocking LFA-1/ICAM-1 interaction were studied as inhibitors of T cell conjugation to DCs. Primary DCs were primed with ovalbumin, then treated with a peptide that binds ICAM-1 (LABL), a peptide that binds LFA-1 (cIBR), or the same peptides covalently linked to the surface of poly(dl-lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles (NPs). LABL-NPs and cIBR-NPs rapidly bound to DCs and inhibited T cell conjugation to DCs to a greater extent than the free peptides, unconjugated nanoparticles (NPs), anti-ICAM-1 antibodies, and anti-LFA-1 antibodies. In addition, DCs treated with NPs or with cIBR-NPs stimulated the proliferation of T cells, but DCs treated with LABL-NPs did not stimulate T cell proliferation. Nanoparticles targeting ICAM-1 or LFA-1 also altered cytokine production by DC cocultured with T cells when compared to free ligands, suggesting that these NPs may offer a unique tool for shaping T cell response.

Project description:Surfaces of iron oxide of ferrimagnetic magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles (MNPs) prepared by Massart's method and their functionalized form (f-MNPs) with succinic acid, L-arginine, oxalic acid, citric acid, and glutamic acid were studied by dynamic light scattering (DLS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR-S), UV-vis, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)/differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and reflection electron energy loss spectroscopy (REELS). The XPS analysis of elements and their chemical states at the surface of MNPs and f-MNPs revealed differences in chemical bonding of atoms, content of carbon-oxygen groups, iron oxide forms, iron oxide magnetic properties, adsorbed molecules, surface coverage, and overlayer thickness, whereas the Auger parameters (derived from XPS and Auger spectra) and elastic and inelastic scattering probabilities of electrons on atoms and valence band electrons (derived from REELS spectra) indicated modification of surface charge redistribution, electronic, and optical properties. These modified properties of f-MNPs influenced their biological properties. The surfaces biocompatible for L929 cells showed various cytotoxicity for HeLa cells (10.8-5.3% of cell death), the highest for MNPs functionalized with oxalic acid. The samples exhibiting the largest efficiency possessed smaller surface coverage and thickness of adsorbed molecules layers, the highest content of oxygen and carbon-oxygen functionalizing groups, the highest ratio of lattice O2- and OH- to C sp2 hybridizations on MNP surface, the highest ratio of adsorbed O- and OH- to C sp2 hybridizations on adsorbed molecule layers, the closest electronic and optical properties to Fe3O4, and the lowest degree of admolecule polymerization. This high cytotoxicity was attributed to interaction of cells with a surface, where increased content of oxygen groups, adsorbed O-, and OH- may play the role of additional adsorption and catalytic sites and a large content of adsorbed molecule layers of carboxylic groups facilitating Fenton reaction kinetics leading to cell damage.
