Intranasal delivery of targeted polyfunctional gold-iron oxide nanoparticles loaded with therapeutic microRNAs for combined theranostic multimodality imaging and presensitization of glioblastoma to temozolomide.

ABSTRACT: The prognosis for glioblastoma (GBM) remains depressingly low. The biological barriers of the brain present a major challenge to achieving adequate drug concentrations for GBM therapy. To address this, we explore the potential of the nose-to-brain direct transport pathway to bypass the blood-brain barrier, and to enable targeted delivery of theranostic polyfunctional gold-iron oxide nanoparticles (polyGIONs) surface loaded with therapeutic miRNAs (miR-100 and antimiR-21) to GBMs in mice. These nanoformulations would thus allow presensitization of GBM cells to the systemically delivered chemotherapy drug temozolomide (TMZ), as well as in vivo multimodality molecular and anatomic imaging of nanoparticle delivery, trafficking, and treatment effects. First, we synthesized GIONs coated with ?-cyclodextrin-chitosan (CD-CS) hybrid polymer, and co-loaded with miR-100 and antimiR-21. Then we decorated their surface with PEG-T7 peptide using CD-adamantane host-guest chemistry. The resultant polyGIONs showed efficient miRNA loading with enhanced serum stability. We characterized them for particle size, PDI, polymer functionalization, charge and release using dynamic light scattering analysis, TEM and qRT-PCR. For in vivo intranasal delivery, we used U87-MG GBM cell-derived orthotopic xenograft models in mice. Intranasal delivery resulted in efficient accumulation of Cy5-miRNAs in mice treated with T7-targeted polyGIONs, as demonstrated by in vivo optical fluorescence and MR imaging. We measured the therapeutic response of these FLUC-EGFP labelled U87-MG GBMs using bioluminescence imaging. Overall, there was a significant increase in survival of mice co-treated with T7-polyGIONs loaded with miR-100/antimiR-21 plus systemic TMZ, compared to the untreated control group, or the animals receiving non-targeted polyGIONs-miR-100/antimiR-21, or TMZ alone. Once translated clinically, this novel theranostic nanoformulation and its associated intranasal delivery strategy will have a strong potential to potentiate the effects of TMZ treatment in GBM patients.

Project description:Purpose: Nanoparticles (NPs) of the polydopamine (PDA)-based,loaded with temozolomide (TMZ) and conjugated with Pep-1 (Peptide-1) as a feasible nano-drug delivery system were constructed and utilized for chemotherapy (CT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) of glioblastoma (GBM). Method: PDA NPs were synthesized from dopamine (DA) hydrochloride and reacted with TMZ to obtain the PDA-TMZ NPs and then the PDA NPs and the PDA-TMZ NPs were conjugated and modified by Pep-1 to obtain the Pep-1@PDA NPs and Pep-1@PDA-TMZ NPs via the Schiff base reaction (SBR), respectively.Their dimensions, charge, and shape were characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The assembly of TMZ was verified by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis). The biostability of both the nanocarrier and the synthetic NPs were validated using water and fetal bovine serum (FBS). The antitumor activities of the PDA-TMZ NPs and Pep-1@PDA-TMZ NPs were verified in U87 cells and tumor-bearing nude mice. Results: The prepared PDA NPs, PDA-TMZ NPs, Pep-1@PDA NPs, and Pep-1@PDA-TMZ NPs were regular and spherical, with dimension of approximately 122, 131, 136, and 140 nm, respectively. The synthetic nanoparticles possessed good dispersity, stability,solubility, and biocompatibility. No obvious toxic side effects were observed, and the loading rate of TMZ was approximately 50%.In vitro research indicated that the inhibition ratio of the Pep-1@PDA-TMZ NPs combined with 808 nm laser was approximately 94% for U87 cells and in vivo research was approximately 77.13%, which was higher than the ratio of the other groups (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Pep-1 was conjugated and modified to PDA-TMZ NPs, which can serve as a new targeted drug nano-delivery system and can offer a CT and PTT integration therapy against GBM. Thus, Pep-1@PDA-TMZ NPs could be a feasible approach for efficient GBM therapy, and further provide some evidence and data for clinical transformation so that gradually conquer GBM.
