The effect of polymer backbone chemistry on the induction of the accelerated blood clearance in polymer modified liposomes.

ABSTRACT: A variety of water-soluble polymers, when attached to a liposome, substantially increase liposome circulation half-life in animals. However, in certain conditions, liposomes modified with the most widely used polymer, polyethylene glycol (PEG), induce an IgM response resulting in an accelerated blood clearance (ABC) of the liposome upon the second injection. Modification of liposomes with other water-soluble polymers: HPMA (poly[N-(2-hydroxypropyl) methacrylamide]), PVP (poly(vinylpyrrolidone)), PMOX (poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline)), PDMA (poly(N,N-dimethyl acrylamide)), and PAcM (poly(N-acryloyl morpholine)), increases circulation times of liposomes; but a precise comparison of their ability to promote long circulation or induce the ABC effect has not been reported. To obtain a more nuanced understanding of the role of polymer structure/MW to promote long circulation, we synthesized a library of polymer diacyl chain lipids with low polydispersity (1.04-1.09), similar polymer molecular weights (2.1-2.5kDa) and incorporated them into 100nm liposomes of a narrow polydispersity (0.25-1.3) composed of polymer-lipid/hydrogenated soy phosphatidylcholine/cholesterol/diD: 5.0/54.5/40/0.5. We confirm that HPMA, PVP, PMOX, PDMA and PAcM modified liposome have increased circulation times in rodents and that PVP, PDMA, and PAcM do not induce the ABC effect. We demonstrate for the first time, that HPMA does not cause an ABC effect whereas PMOX induces a pronounced ABC effect in rats. We find that a single dose of liposomes coated with PEG and PMOX generates an IgM response in rats towards the respective polymer. Finally, in this homologous polymer series, we observe a positive correlation (R=0.84 in rats, R=0.92 in mice) between the circulation time of polymer-modified liposomes and polymer viscosity; PEG and PMOX, the polymers that can initiate an ABC response were the two most viscous polymers. Our findings suggest that polymers that do not cause an ABC effect such as, HPMA or PVP, deserve further consideration as polymer coatings to improve the circulation of liposomes and other nanoparticles.

Project description:Long blood half-life is one of the advantages of antibodies over small molecule drugs. At the same time, prolonged half-life is a problem for imaging applications or in the case of antibody-induced toxicities. There is a substantial need for antidotes that can quickly clear antibodies from systemic circulation and peripheral tissues. Engineered nanoparticles exhibit intrinsic affinity for clearance organs (mainly liver and spleen). trans-Cyclooctene (TCO) and methyltetrazine (MTZ) are versatile copper-free click chemistry components that are extensively being used for in vivo bioorthogonal couplings. To test the ability of nanoparticles to eliminate antibodies, we prepared a set of click-modified, clinically relevant antidotes based on several classes of drug carriers: phospholipid-PEG micelles, bovine serum albumin (BSA), and cross-linked dextran iron oxide (CLIO) nanoparticles. Mice were injected with IRDye 800CW-labeled, click-modified IgG followed by a click-modified antidote or PBS (control), and the levels of the IgG were monitored up to 72 h postinjection. Long-circulating lipid micelles produced a spike in IgG levels at 1 h, decreased IgG levels at 24 h, and did not decrease the area under the curve (AUC) and IgG accumulation in main organs. Long-circulating BSA decreased IgG levels at 1 and 24 h, decreased the AUC, but did not significantly decrease organ accumulation. Long-circulating CLIO nanoworms increased IgG levels at 1 h, decreased IgG levels at 24 h, did not decrease the AUC, and did not decrease the organ accumulation. On the other hand, short-circulating CLIO nanoparticles decreased IgG levels at 1 and 24 h, significantly decreasing the AUC and accumulation in the main organs. Multiple doses of CLIO and BSA were not able to completely eliminate the antibody from blood, despite the click reactivity of the residual IgG, likely due to exchange of IgG between blood and tissue compartments. Pharmacokinetic modeling suggests that short antidote half-life and fast click reaction rate should result in higher IgG depletion efficiency. Short-circulating click-modified nanocarriers are the most effective antidotes for elimination of antibodies from blood. This study sets a stage for future development of antidotes based on nanomedicine.
