Systemically administered AAV9-sTRAIL combats invasive glioblastoma in a patient-derived orthotopic xenograft model.

ABSTRACT: Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors expressing tumoricidal genes injected directly into brain tumors have shown some promise, however, invasive tumor cells are relatively unaffected. Systemic injection of AAV9 vectors provides widespread delivery to the brain and potentially the tumor/microenvironment. Here we assessed AAV9 for potential glioblastoma therapy using two different promoters driving the expression of the secreted anti-cancer agent sTRAIL as a transgene model; the ubiquitously active chicken β-actin (CBA) promoter and the neuron-specific enolase (NSE) promoter to restrict expression in brain. Intravenous injection of AAV9 vectors encoding a bioluminescent reporter showed similar distribution patterns, although the NSE promoter yielded 100-fold lower expression in the abdomen (liver), with the brain-to-liver expression ratio remaining the same. The main cell types targeted by the CBA promoter were astrocytes, neurons and endothelial cells, while expression by NSE promoter mostly occurred in neurons. Intravenous administration of either AAV9-CBA-sTRAIL or AAV9-NSE-sTRAIL vectors to mice bearing intracranial patient-derived glioblastoma xenografts led to a slower tumor growth and significantly increased survival, with the CBA promoter having higher efficacy. To our knowledge, this is the first report showing the potential of systemic injection of AAV9 vector encoding a therapeutic gene for the treatment of brain tumors.

Intracranial AAV-sTRAIL combined with lanatoside C prolongs survival in an orthotopic xenograft mouse model of invasive glioblastoma.

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common malignant brain tumor in adults. We designed an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector for intracranial delivery of secreted, soluble tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (sTRAIL) to GBM tumors in mice and combined it with the TRAIL-sensitizing cardiac glycoside, lanatoside C (lan C). We applied this combined therapy to two different GBM models using human U87 glioma cells and primary patient-derived GBM neural spheres in culture and in orthotopic GBM xenograft models in mice. In U87 cells, conditioned medium from AAV2-sTRAIL expressing cells combined with lan C induced 80% cell death. Similarly, lan C sensitized primary GBM spheres to sTRAIL causing over 90% cell death. In mice bearing intracranial U87 tumors treated with AAVrh.8-sTRAIL, administration of lan C caused a decrease in tumor-associated Fluc signal, while tumor size increased within days of stopping the treatment. Another round of lan C treatment re-sensitized GBM tumor to sTRAIL-induced cell death. AAVrh.8-sTRAIL treatment alone and combined with lanatoside C resulted in a significant decrease in tumor growth and longer survival of mice bearing orthotopic invasive GBM brain tumors. In summary, AAV-sTRAIL combined with lanatoside C induced cell death in U87 glioma cells and patient-derived GBM neural spheres in culture and in vivo leading to an increased in overall mice survival.

Clinically relevant orthotopic xenograft models of patient-derived glioblastoma in zebrafish.

Project description:An accurate prediction of the intracranial infiltration tendency and drug response of individual glioblastoma (GBM) cells is essential for personalized prognosis and treatment for this disease. However, the clinical utility of mouse patient-derived orthotopic xenograft (PDOX) models remains limited given current technical constraints, including difficulty in generating sufficient sample numbers from small tissue samples and a long latency period for results. To overcome these issues, we established zebrafish GBM xenografts of diverse origin, which can tolerate intracranial engraftment and maintain their unique histological features. Subsequent single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis confirmed significant transcriptional identity to that of invading GBM microtumors observed in the proportionally larger brains of model animals and humans. Endothelial scRNA-seq confirmed that the zebrafish blood-brain barrier is homologous to the mammalian blood-brain barrier. Finally, we established a rapid and efficient zebrafish PDOX (zPDOX) model, which can predict long-term outcomes of GBM patients within 20 days. The zPDOX model provides a novel avenue for precision medicine of GBM, especially for the evaluation of intracranial infiltration tendency and prediction of individual drug sensitivity.

Highly Invasive Fluorescent/Bioluminescent Patient-Derived Orthotopic Model of Glioblastoma in Mice.

Project description:Development of the novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in neuro-oncology requires tumor models that closely reproduce the biological features of patients' tumors. Patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) are recognized as a valuable and the most "close-to-patient" tool for preclinical studies. However, their establishment is complicated by the factors related to both the surgical material and technique of the orthotopic implantation. The aim of this work was to develop a patient-derived glioblastoma multiform (GBM) model that stably co-expresses luciferase and a far-red fluorescent protein for monitoring of tumor progression in the brain and, using this model, to validate new diagnostic methods-macroscopic fluorescence lifetime imaging (macro-FLIM) and cross-polarization optical coherence tomography (CP OCT). The established model was similar to the original patient's GBM in terms of histological and immunohistochemical features and possessed reproducible growth in nude mice, which could be observed by both fluorescence and bioluminescence imaging. Our results demonstrated the high potential of macro-FLIM and CP OCT for intraoperative differentiation of GBM from the white matter. Thus, the dual-labeled PDX model of GBM proved to be an excellent approach for observation of tumor development by optical methods.

Non-invasive skin sampling detects systemically administered drugs in humans.

Project description:Clinical testing typically relies on invasive blood draws and biopsies. Alternative methods of sample collection are continually being developed to improve patient experience; swabbing the skin is one of the least invasive sampling methods possible. To show that skin swabs in combination with untargeted mass spectrometry (metabolomics) can be used for non-invasive monitoring of an oral drug, we report the kinetics and metabolism of diphenhydramine in healthy volunteers (n = 10) over the course of 24 hours in blood and three regions of the skin. Diphenhydramine and its metabolites were observed on the skin after peak plasma levels, varying by compound and skin location, and is an illustrative example of how systemically administered molecules can be detected on the skin surface. The observation of diphenhydramine directly from the skin supports the hypothesis that both parent drug and metabolites can be qualitatively measured from a simple non-invasive swab of the skin surface. The mechanism of the drug and metabolites pathway to the skin's surface remains unknown.

Systemic AAV9-IFN? gene delivery treats highly invasive glioblastoma.

Project description:Complete surgical removal of all glioblastoma (GBM) cells is impossible due to extensive infiltration into brain parenchyma that ultimately leads to tumor recurrence. The current standard of care affords modest improvements in survival. New therapeutic interventions are needed to prevent recurrence. Local AAV-hIFN? gene delivery to the brain was previously shown to eradicate noninvasive orthotopic U87 tumors in mice. However, widespread CNS gene delivery may be necessary to treat invasive GBMs. Here we investigated the therapeutic effectiveness of systemically infused AAV9-hIFN? against an invasive orthotopic GBM8 model.Mice bearing human GBM8 brain tumors expressing firefly luciferase (Fluc) were treated systemically with different doses of scAAV9-hIFN? vector. Therapeutic efficacy was assessed by sequential bioluminescence imaging of tumor Fluc activity and animal survival. Brains were analyzed post mortem for the presence and appearance of tumors. Two transcriptionally restricted AAV vectors were used to assess the therapeutic contribution of peripheral hIFN?.Systemic infusion of scAAV9-hIFN? vector induced complete regression of established GBM8 tumors in a dose-dependent manner. The efficacy of this approach was also dependent on the stage of tumor growth at the time of treatment. We also showed that peripherally produced hIFN? contributed considerably to the therapeutic effect of scAAV9-hIFN?. A comparative study of systemic and unilateral intracranial delivery of scAAV9-hIFN? in a bilateral GBM8 tumor model showed the systemic route to be the most effective approach for treating widely dispersed tumors.Systemic delivery of AAV9-IFN? is an attractive approach for invasive and multifocal GBM treatment.

Intracranial AAV-IFN-β gene therapy eliminates invasive xenograft glioblastoma and improves survival in orthotopic syngeneic murine model.

Project description:The highly invasive property of glioblastoma (GBM) cells and genetic heterogeneity are largely responsible for tumor recurrence after the current standard-of-care treatment and thus a direct cause of death. Previously, we have shown that intracranial interferon-beta (IFN-β) gene therapy by locally administered adeno-associated viral vectors (AAV) successfully treats noninvasive orthotopic glioblastoma models. Here, we extend these findings by testing this approach in invasive human GBM xenograft and syngeneic mouse models. First, we show that a single intracranial injection of AAV encoding human IFN-β eliminates invasive human GBM8 tumors and promotes long-term survival. Next, we screened five AAV-IFN-β vectors with different promoters to drive safe expression of mouse IFN-β in the brain in the context of syngeneic GL261 tumors. Two AAV-IFN-β vectors were excluded due to safety concerns, but therapeutic studies with the other three vectors showed extensive tumor cell death, activation of microglia surrounding the tumors, and a 56% increase in median survival of the animals treated with AAV/P2-Int-mIFN-β vector. We also assessed the therapeutic effect of combining AAV-IFN-β therapy with temozolomide (TMZ). As TMZ affects DNA replication, an event that is crucial for second-strand DNA synthesis of single-stranded AAV vectors before active transcription, we tested two TMZ treatment regimens. Treatment with TMZ prior to AAV-IFN-β abrogated any benefit from the latter, while the reverse order of treatment doubled the median survival compared to controls. These studies demonstrate the therapeutic potential of intracranial AAV-IFN-β therapy in a highly migratory GBM model as well as in a syngeneic mouse model and that combination with TMZ is likely to enhance its antitumor potency.
