Effective Activation and Expansion of Canine Lymphocytes Using a Novel Nano-Sized Magnetic Beads Approach.

ABSTRACT: Expansion protocols for human T lymphocytes using magnetic beads, which serve as artificial antigen presenting cells (aAPCs), is well-studied. Yet, the efficacy of magnetic beads for propagation and functionality of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) isolated from companion dogs still remains limited. Domestic dog models are important in immuno-oncology field. Thus, we built the platform for induction of canine PBLs function, proliferation and biological activity using nano-sized magnetic beads (termed as MicroBeads) coated with anti-canine CD3 and CD28 antibodies. Herein we reveal that activation of canine PBLs via MicroBeads induces a range of genes involved in immediate-early response to T cell activation in dogs. Furthermore, canine T lymphocytes are effectively activated by MicroBeads, as measured by cluster formation and induction of activation marker CD25 on canine T cells as quickly as 24 h post stimulation. Similar to human T cells, canine PBLs require lower activation signal strength for efficient proliferation and expansion, as revealed by titration studies using a range of MicroBeads in the culture. Additionally, the impact of temperature was assessed in multiple stimulation settings, showing that both 37°C and 38.5°C are optimal for the expansion of canine T cells. In contrast to stimulation using plant mitogen Concanavalin A (ConA), MicroBead-based activation did not increase activation-induced cell death. In turn, MicroBeads supported the propagation of T cells with an effector memory phenotype that secreted substantial IL-2 and IFN-?. Thus, MicroBeads represent an accessible and affordable tool for conducting immunological studies on domestic dog models. Similarities in inducing intracellular signaling pathways further underscore the importance of this model in comparative medicine. Presented herein MicroBead-based expansion platforms for canine PBLs may benefit adoptive immunotherapy in dogs and facilitate the design of next-generation clinical trials in humans.

Project description:Magnetic resonance (MR) nano-theranostic hyperthermia uses magnetic nanoparticles to target and accumulate at the lesions and generate heat to kill lesion cells directly through hyperthermia or indirectly through thermal activation and control releasing of drugs. Preclinical and translational applications of MR nano-theranostic hyperthermia are currently limited by a few major theoretical difficulties and experimental challenges in in vivo conditions. For example, conventional models for estimating the heat generated and the optimal magnetic nanoparticle sizes for hyperthermia do not accurately reproduce reported in vivo experimental results. In this work, a revised cluster-based model was proposed to predict the specific loss power (SLP) by explicitly considering magnetic nanoparticle aggregation in in vivo conditions. By comparing with the reported experimental results of magnetite Fe3O4 and cobalt ferrite CoFe2O4 magnetic nanoparticles, it is shown that the revised cluster-based model provides a more accurate prediction of the experimental values than the conventional models that assume magnetic nanoparticles act as single units. It also provides a clear physical picture: the aggregation of magnetic nanoparticles increases the cluster magnetic anisotropy while reducing both the cluster domain magnetization and the average magnetic moment, which, in turn, shift the predicted SLP toward a smaller magnetic nanoparticle diameter with lower peak values. As a result, the heating efficiency and the SLP values are decreased. The improvement in the prediction accuracy in in vivo conditions is particularly pronounced when the magnetic nanoparticle diameter is in the range of ~10-20 nm. This happens to be an important size range for MR cancer nano-theranostics, as it exhibits the highest efficacy against both primary and metastatic tumors in vivo. Our studies show that a relatively 20%-25% smaller magnetic nanoparticle diameter should be chosen to reach the maximal heating efficiency in comparison with the optimal size predicted by previous models.
