A charge-reversible nanocarrier using PEG-PLL (-g-Ce6, DMA)-PLA for photodynamic therapy.

ABSTRACT: A polyelectrolyte nanoparticle composed of PEG-PLL(-g-Ce6, DMA)-PLA was developed for nanomedicinal application in photodynamic therapy. These nanoparticles formed stable aggregates through the hydrophobic interaction of poly(lactic acid) and demonstrated pH-dependent behaviors such as surface charge conversion and enhanced cellular uptake at acidic pH, resulting in improved phototoxicity. In vivo animal imaging revealed that the prepared PEG-PLL(-g-Ce6, DMA)-PLA nanoparticles effectively accumulated at the targeted tumor site through enhanced permeability and retention effects. Reversible surface charge for PEG-PLL (-g-Ce6, DMA)-PLA nanoparticles allows the nanoparticles to escape the immune system and concentrate on the tumor tissue. Tumor growth in the nude mice treated with the nanoparticles decreased significantly and the hydrophobic interaction in the poly(lactic acid) block could allow the incorporation of multiple drugs. Therefore, the PEG-PLL(-g-Ce6, DMA)-PLA nanoparticles could have considerable potential as a nanomedicinal platform for photodynamic therapy.

Project description:Gliomas are one of the most common types of primary brain tumors. Despite recent advances in the combination of surgery, radiotherapy, systemic therapy (chemotherapy, targeted therapy) and supportive therapy in the multimodal treatment of gliomas, the overall prognosis remains poor and the long?term survival rate is low. Thus, it is crucial to develop a novel glioma management method. Due to its relatively non?invasive, selective and repeatable characteristics, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been investigated for glioma therapy in the past decade, exhibiting higher selectivity and lower side effects compared with those of conventional therapy. However, most of the photosensitizers (PSs) are highly hydrophobic, leading to poor water solubility, rapid degradation with clearance in blood circulation and ultimately, low bioavailability. In the present study, hydrophilic polyethylene glycol (PEG)?chlorin e6 (Ce6) chelated gadolinium ion (Gd3+) nanoparticles (PEG?Ce6?Gd NPs) were synthesized via a chelation and self?assembly process. Initially, the cell cytotoxicity of PEG?Ce6?Gd NPs was evaluated with or without laser irradiation. The in vitro study demonstrated the lack of toxicity of PEG?Ce6?Gd NPs to tumor cells in the absence of laser irradiation. However, its toxicity was enhanced under laser irradiation. Moreover, the size and weight of brain tumors were significantly decreased in mice with glioma xenografts, which was further confirmed via histological analysis. Subsequently, the results indicated that the PEG?Ce6?Gd NPs had a favorable T1?weighted contrast performance (0.43 mg ml?1 s?1) and were observed to have signi?cant contrast enhancement at the tumor site from 0.25 to 1 h post?injection in vivo. The favorable MRI, as well as the synergetic photodynamic antitumor effect and antineoplastic ability of PEG?Ce6?Gd NPs was identified. It was suggested that PEG?Ce6?Gd NPs had great potential in the diagnosis and PDT treatment of gliomas, and possibly other cancer types, with prospects of clinical application in the near future.

Project description:This proteomic study This proteomic study focuses on the role of reversible thiol oxidation after hexyl aminolevulinate mediated PDT (HAL-PDT). The human epidermoid carcinoma cell line A431 was used as model system and red light as light source, a clinical relevant in vitro model. The light dose dependent cell cytotoxicity was measured by resazurin assay. The most clinical relevant dose, LD100, was used for the proteomic part of the study and cells where harvested 30 min after treatment. The reversibly oxidized thiol proteins were selected by biotinylation and identified by mass spectrometry. This proteomic technique revealed over 1100 thiol proteins which were reversibly oxidized after HAL-PDT. Identified proteins were analysed by bioinformatics (IPA and GO) and a list of reliable identified proteins (282 proteins) where further analysed. Both the cellular location and function was determined for these proteins. In addition, 18 of the proteins where identified as redox regulated, 36 to be a part of the apoptotic pathway and 9 to be both redox regulated and a part of apoptotic pathway. From these results we suggest redox regulated proteins as a trigger mechanism for PDT induced apoptosis.focuses on the role of reversible thiol oxidation after hexyl aminolevulinate mediated PDT (HAL-PDT).

Project description:A pH-responsive nanoparticle platform, based on PEG-b-poly (carbonate) block copolymers have been proposed that can respond to low pH as found in many cancer micro- and intracellular environment, including that in pancreatic cancer. The hydrophobic domain, i.e., the poly (carbonate) segment has been substituted with tertiary amine side chains, such as N, N'-dibutylethylenediamine (pKa = 4.0, DB) and 2-pyrrolidin-1-yl-ethyl-amine (pka = 5.4, Py) to generate two different sets of block copolymers namely PEG-DB and PEG-PY systems. These side-chain appended amines promote disassembly of nanoparticles and activation of drug release in response to pH conditions mimicking extra- (pH 6.9-6.5) and intracellular compartments (5.5-4.5, from early endosome to lysosome) of cancer tissues respectively. A frontline chemotherapy used for pancreatic cancer, i.e., gemcitabine (GEM) and a Hedgehog inhibitor (GDC 0449) has been used as the model combination to evaluate the encapsulation and pH-dependent release efficiency of these block copolymers. We found that, depending on the tertiary amine side chains appended to the polycarbonate segment, these block copolymers self-assemble to form nanoparticles with the size range of 100-150?nm (with a critical association concentration value in the order of 10-6 M). We also demonstrated an approach where GEM and GDC 0449-encapsulated PEG-DB and PEG-PY nanoparticles, responsive to two different pH conditions, when mixed at a 1:1?vol ratio, yielded a pH-dependent co-release of the encapsulated contents. We envision that such release behaviour can be exploited to gain spatiotemporal control over drug accumulation in pathological compartments with different pH status. The mixture of pH-responsive nanoparticles was found to suppress pancreatic cancer cell proliferation when loaded with anticancer agents in vitro. Cell-proliferation assay showed that both variants of PEG-b-polycarbonate block copolymers were inherently non-toxic. We have also immobilized iRGD peptide on intracellularly activable PEG-DB systems to augment cellular uptake. These targeted nanoparticles were found to promote selective internalization of particles in pancreatic cancer cells and tumor tissue.
