Controlled Delivery of BET-PROTACs: In Vitro Evaluation of MZ1-Loaded Polymeric Antibody Conjugated Nanoparticles in Breast Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Bromo and extraterminal domain (BET) inhibitors-PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera (BETi-PROTAC) is a new family of compounds that induce proteasomal degradation through the ubiquitination of the tagged to BET inhibitors Bromodomain proteins, BRD2 and BRD. The encapsulation and controlled release of BET-PROTACs through their vectorization with antibodies, like trastuzumab, could facilitate their pharmacokinetic and efficacy profile. Antibody conjugated nanoparticles (ACNPs) using PROTACs have not been designed and evaluated. In this pioneer approach, the commercial MZ1 PROTAC was encapsulated into the FDA-approved polymeric nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were conjugated with trastuzumab to guide the delivery of MZ1 to breast tumoral cells that overexpress HER2. These ACNPs were characterized by means of size, polydispersity index, and Z-potential. Morphology of the nanoparticles, along with stability and release studies, completed the characterization. MZ1-loaded ACNPs showed a significant cytotoxic effect maintaining its mechanism of action and improving its therapeutic properties.

Project description:BackgroundAscorbic acid (AA) is a micronutrient essential for the mechanisms of reproduction, growth, and defense in fish. However, the biosynthesis of this micronutrient does not occur in fish, so it must be supplied with food. A difficulty is that plain AA is unstable, due to the effects of light, high temperature, and oxygen, among others. The use of nanoencapsulation may provide protection and preserve the physicochemical characteristics of AA for extended periods of time, decreasing losses due to environmental factors.MethodThis study evaluated the protective effect of nanoencapsulation in polymeric nanoparticles (chitosan and polycaprolactone) against AA degradation. Evaluation was made of the physicochemical stability of the nanoformulations over time, as well as the toxicological effects in zebrafish (Danio rerio), considering behavior, development, and enzymatic activity. For the statistical tests, ANOVA (two-way, significance of p < 0.05) was used.ResultsBoth nanoparticle formulations showed high encapsulation efficiency and good physicochemical stability during 90 days. Chitosan (CS) and polycaprolactone (PCL) nanoparticles loaded with AA had mean diameters of 314 and 303 nm and polydispersity indexes of 0.36 and 0.28, respectively. Both nanosystems provided protection against degradation of AA exposed to an oxidizing agent, compared to plain AA. Total degradation of AA was observed after 7, 20, and 480 min for plain AA, the CS nanoparticle formulation, and the PCL nanoparticle formulation, respectively. For zebrafish larvae, the LC50 values were 330.7, 57.4, and 179.6 mg/L for plain AA, the CS nanoparticle formulation, and the PCL nanoparticle formulation, respectively. In toxicity assays using AA at a concentration of 50 mg/L, both types of nanoparticles loaded with AA showed lower toxicity towards the development of the zebrafish, compared to plain AA at the same concentration. Although decreased activity of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) did not affect the swimming behavior of zebrafish larvae in the groups evaluated, it may have been associated with the observed morphometric changes, such as curvature of the tail.ConclusionsThis study showed that the use of nanosystems is promising for fish nutritional supplementation in aquaculture. In particular, PCL nanoparticles loaded with AA seemed to be most promising, due to higher protection against AA degradation, as well as lower toxicity to zebrafish, compared to the chitosan nanoparticles. The use of nanotechnology opens new perspectives for aquaculture, enabling the reduction of feed nutrient losses, leading to faster fish growth and improved sustainability of this activity.
