Effect of Matrix-Modulating Enzymes on The Cellular Uptake of Magnetic Nanoparticles and on Magnetic Hyperthermia Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer Models In Vivo.

ABSTRACT: Magnetic hyperthermia can cause localized thermal eradication of several solid cancers. However, a localized and homogenous deposition of high concentrations of magnetic nanomaterials into the tumor stroma and tumor cells is mostly required. Poorly responsive cancers such as the pancreatic adenocarcinomas are hallmarked by a rigid stroma and poor perfusion to therapeutics and nanomaterials. Hence, approaches that enhance the infiltration of magnetic nanofluids into the tumor stroma convey potentials to improve thermal tumor therapy. We studied the influence of the matrix-modulating enzymes hyaluronidase and collagenase on the uptake of magnetic nanoparticles by pancreatic cancer cells and 3D spheroids thereof, and the overall impact on magnetic heating and cell death. Furthermore, we validated the effect of hyaluronidase on magnetic hyperthermia treatment of heterotopic pancreatic cancer models in mice. Treatment of cultured cells with the enzymes caused higher uptake of magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) as compared to nontreated cells. For example, hyaluronidase caused a 28% increase in iron deposits per cell. Consequently, the thermal doses (cumulative equivalent minutes at 43 °C, CEM43) increased by 15-23% as compared to heat dose achieved for cells treated with magnetic hyperthermia without using enzymes. Likewise, heat-induced cell death increased. In in vivo studies, hyaluronidase-enhanced infiltration and distribution of the nanoparticles in the tumors resulted in moderate heating levels (CEM43 of 128 min as compared to 479 min) and a slower, but persistent decrease in tumor volumes over time after treatment, as compared to comparable treatment without hyaluronidase. The results indicate that hyaluronidase, in particular, improves the infiltration of magnetic nanoparticles into pancreatic cancer models, impacts their thermal treatment and cell depletion, and hence, will contribute immensely in the fight against pancreatic and many other adenocarcinomas.

Project description:Magnetococcus marinus magnetosome-associated protein MamC, expressed as recombinant, has been proven to mediate the formation of novel biomimetic magnetic nanoparticles (BMNPs) that are successful drug nanocarriers for targeted chemotherapy and hyperthermia agents. These BMNPs present several advantages over inorganic magnetic nanoparticles, such as larger sizes that allow the former to have larger magnetic moment per particle, and an isoelectric point at acidic pH values, which allows both the stable functionalization of BMNPs at physiological pH value and the molecule release at acidic (tumor) environments, simply based on electrostatic interactions. However, difficulties for BMNPs cell internalization still hold back the efficiency of these nanoparticles as drug nanocarriers and hyperthermia agents. In the present study we explore the enhanced BMNPs internalization following upon their encapsulation by poly (lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA), a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved molecule. Internalization is further optimized by the functionalization of the nanoformulation with the cell-penetrating TAT peptide (TATp). Our results evidence that cells treated with the nanoformulation [TAT-PLGA(BMNPs)] show up to 80% more iron internalized (after 72 h) compared to that of cells treated with BMNPs (40%), without any significant decrease in cell viability. This nanoformulation showing optimal internalization is further characterized. In particular, the present manuscript demonstrates that neither its magnetic properties nor its performance as a hyperthermia agent are significantly altered due to the encapsulation. In vitro experiments demonstrate that, following upon the application of an alternating magnetic field on U87MG cells treated with BMNPs and TAT-PLGA(BMNPs), the cytotoxic effect of BMNPs was not affected by the TAT-PLGA enveloping. Based on that, difficulties shown in previous studies related to poor cell uptake of BMNPs can be overcome by the novel nanoassembly described here.
