Localized co-delivery of collagenase and trastuzumab by thermosensitive hydrogels for enhanced antitumor efficacy in human breast xenograft.

ABSTRACT: Modulation of the collagen-rich extracellular matrix (ECM) in solid tumors by the treatment with collagenase has been proved effective in enhancement of the interstitial transport and antitumor efficacy of antibodies. We, therefore, developed a PLGA-PEG-PLGA polymer-based thermosensitive hydrogel, which incorporated a HER2-targeted monoclonal antibody trastuzumab and collagenase (Col/Tra/Gel) for peritumoral administration. HER2-positvie BT474 tumor-bearing mice were selected as a model. The Col/Tra/Gel showed the continuous and biphasic release of protein drugs for 9 days in vitro. NIR imaging studies demonstrated a long-term retention of Col/Tra/Gel hydrogel in the peritumoral area for over 20 days. Treatment with Col/Tra/Gel reduced the collagen density and enhanced apoptotic cell death in tumor tissue, resulting in superior treatments with increased efficacy and reduced toxicity compared with other control groups. Moreover, a quarter-dose of Col/Tra/Gel exhibited a better antitumor efficacy than that of intravenous injection of clinical trastuzumab formulation. This localized co-delivery system offers a potential strategy for the modulation of dense ECM and enhancement of antibody efficacy.

Project description:PurposeOsteosarcoma is considered as the most common primary malignant bone tumor in children and adolescents, and the treatments including chemotherapy and surgery were far from satisfactory. Localized tumor treatments by hydrogels incorporating combined chemotherapeutic drugs have recently emerged as superior approaches for enhanced anti-tumor effects and reduced systemic toxicity.MethodsA novel injectable thermosensitive poly (lactide-co- glycolide)-poly (ethylene glycol)-poly(lactide-co-glycolide) triblock copolymer hydrogel containing doxorubicin and cisplatin for the localized chemotherapy of osteosarcoma were synthesized and characterized. The in vitro drug release properties of the drugs-loaded hydrogels were investigated. To study the anti-tumor efficacy of hydrogels depots in vitro, the cytotoxicity and apoptosis rate against Saos-2 and MG-63 cells were evaluated by MTT, Annexin V and PCR methods. The in vivo synergistic anti-tumor efficacy of the multi-drugs co-loaded hydrogels was investigated by human osteosarcoma xenografts. Additionally, the systemic toxic side effects were evaluated by ex vivo histological analysis of the major organs of the mice.ResultsThe PLGA-PEG-PLGA copolymer solution underwent a sol-gel transition at appropriate temperature and degraded in the PBS, presenting a friendly biocompatibility in vitro. The in vitro cell viability tests demonstrated that DOX and CDDP co-loaded hydrogels exhibited synergistic anti-proliferation effect, due to the sustained release of drugs from the drugs-loaded hydrogel. The treatment with DOX and CDDP co-loaded hydrogel led to the highest efficiency in inhibiting the tumor growth, enhanced tumor necrosis rate and increased regulation of the apoptosis-related gene expressions, indicating a synergistic anti-tumor efficacy in vivo. Additionally, ex vivo histological analysis of the nude mice exhibited low systemic toxicity.ConclusionThe combination treatment of osteosarcoma by localized, sustained co-delivery of DOX and CDDP by PLGA-PEG-PLGA hydrogel may serve as a promising strategy for efficient clinical treatment of osteosarcoma.

Project description:Endophthalmitis is a rare, but serious, intravitreal inflammatory disorder that can arise after cataract surgery. The intracameral injection of 1 mg cefuroxime (CEF) followed by three-times daily antibiotic topical administration for a week is generally recognized as the routine method of prophylaxis after cataract surgery. This procedure is controversial because of both the low efficacy and the low adherence to therapy by elderly patients. A unique slow release antibiotic intravitreal injection could solve these problems. The objective of the present study was to design ophthalmic nanocomposite delivery systems based on in situ gelling formulations that undergo sol-to-gel transition upon change in temperature to prolong the effect of CEF. Oil in water (O/W) microemulsion (µE) and solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN), obtained with an innovative formulation technology called cold microemulsion dilution, were evaluated as ocular drug delivery systems for CEF. Drug entrapment efficiency up to 80% was possible by esterifying CEF with 1-dodecanol to obtain dodecyl-CEF (dCEF). Both dCEF-loaded SLN and µE were then added with Pluronic®F127 (20% w/v) to obtain a nanocomposite hydrogel-based long acting system. The prepared thermosensitive formulations were evaluated for their physical appearance, drug content, gelation temperature, injectability and rheological properties, in vitro release studies and stability studies. Moreover, cell proliferation assays on human retinal pigment epithelial ARPE-19 cells were performed to evaluate the influence of this innovative system on the cellular viability. In addition, minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) was assessed for both CEF and dCEF, revealing the need of dCEF hydrolysis for the antimicrobial activity. Although further experimental investigations are required, the physico-chemical characterization of the nanocomposite hydrogels and the preliminary in vitro release studies highlighted the potential of these systems for the sustained release of CEF.
