Pedf derived peptides affect colorectal cancer cell lines resistance and tumour re-growth capacity.

ABSTRACT: Relapse after chemotherapy treatment depends on the cancer initiating cells (CICs). PEDF (Pigmented Epithelium Derived Factor) is an anti-angiogenic, neurotrophic and self-renewal regulator molecule, also involved in CICs biology. Acute and chronic exposition of colon cancer cell lines to CT/CTE PEDF-derived peptides decreased drug-resistance to conventional colorectal cancer treatments, such as oxaliplatin or irinotecan. We confirmed a reduction in the irinotecan and oxaliplatin IC50 doses for all tested tumour cell lines. After xenograft transplantation, CT/CTE treatments also produced a reduction in resistance to conventional chemotherapy treatments as in culture-assays. Metastatic capacity of these treated cell lines was also depleted. The PEDF signaling pathway could be a future therapeutic tool for use as an adjuvant therapy that decreases IC50 dosis, adverse effects and treatment costs. This pathway could also be involved in an increase of the time relapse in patients, decreased tumourigenicity, and decreased capacity to produce metastasis.

Project description:Abnormal migration and proliferation of endothelial cells (EC) drive neovascular retinopathies. While anti-VEGF treatment slows progression, pathology is often supported by decrease in intraocular pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF), an endogenous inhibitor of angiogenesis. A surface helical 34-mer peptide of PEDF, comprising this activity, is efficacious in animal models of neovascular retina disease but remains impractically large for therapeutic use. We sought smaller fragments within this sequence that mitigate choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Expecting rapid intravitreal (IVT) clearance, we also developed a method to reversibly attach peptides to nano-carriers for extended delivery. Synthetic fragments of 34-mer yielded smaller anti-angiogenic peptides, and N-terminal capping with dicarboxylic acids did not diminish activity. Charge restoration via substitution of an internal aspartate by asparagine improved potency, achieving low nM apoptotic response in VEGF-activated EC. Two optimized peptides (PEDF 335, 8-mer and PEDF 336, 9-mer) were tested in a mouse model of laser-induced CNV. IVT injection of either peptide, 2-5 days before laser treatment, gave significant CNV decrease at day +14 post laser treatment. The 8-mer also decreased CNV, when administered as eye drops. Also examined was a nanoparticle-conjugate (NPC) prodrug of the 9-mer, having positive zeta potential, expected to display longer intraocular residence. This NPC showed extended efficacy, even when injected 14 days before laser treatment. Neither inflammatory cells nor other histopathologic abnormalities were seen in rabbit eyes harvested 14 days following IVT injection of PEDF 336 (>200 ?g). No rabbit or mouse eye irritation was observed over 12-17 days of PEDF 335 eye drops (10 mM). Viability was unaffected in 3 retinal and 2 choroidal cell types by PEDF 335 up to 100 ?M, PEDF 336 (100 ?M) gave slight growth inhibition only in choroidal EC. A small anti-angiogenic PEDF epitope (G-Y-D-L-Y-R-V) was identified, variants (adipic-Sar-Y-N-L-Y-R-V) mitigate CNV, with clinical potential in treating neovascular retinopathy. Their shared active motif, Y - - - R, is found in laminin (Ln) peptide YIGSR, which binds Ln receptor 67LR, a known high-affinity ligand of PEDF 34-mer.
