Targeted SPION siderophore conjugate loaded with doxorubicin as a theranostic agent for imaging and treatment of colon carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Recently, the siderophores have opened new horizons in nanomedicine. The current study aimed to design a theranostic platform based on superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles-pyoverdine (SPION/PVD) conjugates bound to MUC1 aptamer (MUC1_Apt) and loaded with doxorubicin (DOX) as an anti-cancer agent. The SPION/PVD complex was covalently conjugated to MUC1_Apt and loaded with DOX to prepare a targeted drug delivery system (SPION/PVD/MUC1_Apt/DOX). The investigation of cellular cytotoxicity and uptake of formulations by MTT and flow cytometry in both MUC1 positive (C26) and MUC1 negative (CHO) cell lines revealed that MUC1_Apt could improve both cellular uptake and toxicity in the C26 cell line. The evaluation of tumor-targeting activity by in vivo bio-distribution showed that the targeted formulation could enhance tumor inhibitory growth effect and survival rate in C26 tumor-bearing mice. Furthermore, the potential of synthesized SPION/PVD/MUC1_Apt/DOX complex as diagnostic agents was investigated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) which improved the contrast of tumor site in MRI. Our findings confirm that aptamer-targeted PVD chelated the SPION as a diagnostic agent and loaded with DOX as a chemotherapeutic drug, would be beneficial as a novel theranostic platform.

Theranostic Gallium Siderophore Ciprofloxacin Conjugate with Broad Spectrum Antibiotic Potency.

Project description:Pathogenic bacteria scavenge ferric iron from the host for survival and proliferation using small-molecular chelators, siderophores. Here, we introduce and assess the gallium(III) complex of ciprofloxacin-functionalized desferrichrome (D2) as a potential therapeutic for bacterial infection using an in vitro assay and radiochemical, tracer-based approach. Ga-D2 exhibits a minimum inhibitory concentration of 0.23 μM in Escherichia coli, in line with the parent fluoroquinolone antibiotic. Competitive and mutant strain assays show that Ga-D2 relies on FhuA-mediated transport for internalization. Ga-D2 is potent against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (3.8 μM), Staphylococcus aureus (0.94 μM), and Klebsiella pneumoniae (12.5 μM), while Fe-D2 is inactive in these strains. Radiochemical experiments with E. coli reveal that 67Ga-D2 is taken up more efficiently than 67Ga-citrate. In naive mice, 67Ga-D2 clears renally and is excreted 13% intact in the urine. These pharmacokinetic and bacterial growth inhibitory properties qualify Ga-D2 for future investigations as a diagnosis and treatment tool for infection.

Chlorin e6-Coated Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticle (SPION) Nanoclusters as a Theranostic Agent for Dual-Mode Imaging and Photodynamic Therapy.

Project description:Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an approved modality for the treatment of various types of maligancies and diseased states. However, most of the available photosensitizers (PS) are highly hydrophobic, which limits their solubility and dispersion in biological fluids and can lead to self-quenching and sub-optimal therapeutic efficacy. In this study, chlorin e6 (Ce6)-coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle (SPION) nanoclusters (Ce6-SCs) were prepared via an oil-in-water emulsion. The physical-chemical properties of the Ce6-SCs were systematically evaluated. Dual-mode imaging and PDT was subsequently performed in tumor-bearing mice. Chlorin e6 is capable of solubilizing hydrophobic SPION into stable, water-soluble nanoclusters without the use of any additional amphiphiles or carriers. The method is reproducible and the Ce6-SCs are highly stable under physiological conditions. The Ce6-SCs have an average diameter of 92?nm and low polydispersity (average PDI?<?0.2). Encapsulation efficiency of both Ce6 and SPION is ?100%, and the total Ce6 payload can be as high as 56% of the total weight (Ce6?+?Fe). The Ce6-SCs localize within tumors via enhanced permeability and retention and are detectable by magnetic resonance (MR) and optical imaging. With PDT, Ce6-SCs demonstrate high singlet oxygen generation and produce a significant delay in tumor growth in mice.

Targeted Therapy of Colon Cancer by Aptamer-Guided Holliday Junctions Loaded with Doxorubicin.

Project description:Purpose:Chemotherapy is the primary treatment for advanced colon cancer, but its efficacy is often limited by severe toxicities. Targeted therapy in the form of selectively drug delivery system (SDDS) is an important strategy to reduce adverse effects. Here, we aim to design a novel SDDS with potential for practical application using biocompatible components and scalable production process, for targeted delivery of doxorubicin (Dox) to colon cancer cells. Methods:The SDDS was made of a self-assembled DNA nano-cross (Holliday junction, or HJ) functionalized by four AS1411 aptamers (Apt-HJ) and loaded with Dox. Results:Apt-HJ had an average size of 12.45 nm and a zeta potential of -11.6 mV. Compared with the monovalent AS1411 aptamer, the quadrivalent Apt-HJ showed stronger binding to target cancer cells (CT26). A complex of Apt-HJ and doxorubicin (Apt-HJ-Dox) was formed by intercalating Dox into the DNA structure of Apt-HJ, with each complex carrying approximately 17 Dox molecules. Confocal microscopy revealed that Apt-HJ-Dox selectively delivered Dox into CT26 colon cancer cells but not the control cells. Moreover, Apt-HJ-Dox achieved targeted killing of CT26 cancer cells in vitro and reduced the damage to control cells. Importantly, compared with free Dox, Apt-HJ-Dox significantly enhanced the antitumor efficacy in vivo without boosting the adverse effects. Conclusion:These results suggest that Apt-HJ-Dox has application potential in targeted treatment of colon cancer.

Transforming a Targeted Porphyrin Theranostic Agent into a PET Imaging Probe for Cancer.

Project description:Porphyrin based photosensitizers are useful agents for photodynamic therapy (PDT) and fluorescence imaging of cancer. Porphyrins are also excellent metal chelators forming highly stable metallo-complexes making them efficient delivery vehicles for radioisotopes. Here we investigated the possibility of incorporating (64)Cu into a porphyrin-peptide-folate (PPF) probe developed previously as folate receptor (FR) targeted fluorescent/PDT agent, and evaluated the potential of turning the resulting (64)Cu-PPF into a positron emission tomography (PET) probe for cancer imaging. Noninvasive PET imaging followed by radioassay evaluated the tumor accumulation, pharmacokinetics and biodistribution of (64)Cu-PPF. (64)Cu-PPF uptake in FR-positive tumors was visible on small-animal PET images with high tumor-to-muscle ratio (8.88 ± 3.60) observed after 24 h. Competitive blocking studies confirmed the FR-mediated tracer uptake by the tumor. The ease of efficient (64)Cu-radiolabeling of PPF while retaining its favorable biodistribution, pharmacokinetics and selective tumor uptake, provides a robust strategy to transform tumor-targeted porphyrin-based photosensitizers into PET imaging probes.

Artesunate-Loaded and Near-Infrared Dye-Conjugated Albumin Nanoparticles as High-Efficiency Tumor-Targeted Photo-Chemo Theranostic Agent.

Project description:Herein, a tumor-targeted multifunctional theranostic agent was synthetized using a facile method, combining four clinically approved materials: artesunate (Arte), human serum albumin (HSA), folic acid (FA), and indocyanine green (ICG). The obtained nanocomposites (FA-IHA NPs) showed an excellent photo- and physiological stability. The ICG in the FA-IHA NPs was used not only for near infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging, but also for photothermal and photodynamic (PTT-PDT) therapy under a single NIR irradiation. In addition, the NIR irradiation (808 nm, 1 W/cm2) could trigger Arte release that showed enhanced chemotherapeutic effect. Through fluorescence imaging, the cell uptake and tumor accumulation of FA-IHA NPs were observed in vitro and in vivo, analyzed by confocal microscopy and NIR fluorescence imaging in tumor xenograft mice. Based on the diagnostic results, FA-IHA NPs at 24 h post injection and combined with NIR irradiation (808 nm, 1 W/cm2) could efficiently suppress tumor growth through a photo-chemo combination therapy, with no tumor recurrence in vitro and in vivo. The obtained results suggested that FA-IHA NPs are promising photo-chemo theranostic agents for future clinical translation.

Nanostructured Lipid Carrier Co-loaded with Doxorubicin and Docosahexaenoic Acid as a Theranostic Agent: Evaluation of Biodistribution and Antitumor Activity in Experimental Model.

Project description:PURPOSE:Nanotheranostic platforms, i.e., the combination of both therapeutic and diagnostic agents on a single platform, are emerging as an interesting tool for the personalized cancer medicine. Therefore, the aim of this work was to evaluate the in vivo properties of a Tc-99m-labeled nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC) formulation, co-loaded with doxorubicin (DOX) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), for theranostic applications. PROCEDURES:NLC-DHA-DOX were prepared busing the hot melting homogenization method using an emulsification-ultrasound and were radiolabeled with Tc-99m. Biodistribution studies, scintigraphic images, and antitumor activity were performed in 4T1 tumor-bearing mice. RESULTS:NCL was successfully radiolabeled with Tc-99m. Blood clearance showed a relatively long half-life, with blood levels decaying in a biphasic manner (T1/2 ? = 38.7 min; T1/2 ? = 516.5 min). The biodistribution profile and scintigraphic images showed higher tumor uptake compared to contralateral muscle in all time-points investigated. Antitumor activity studies showed a substantial tumor growth inhibition ratio for NLC-DHA-DOX formulation. In addition, the formulation showed more favorable toxicity profiles when compared to equivalent doses of free administered drugs, being able to reduce heart and liver damage. CONCLUSIONS:Therefore, NLC-DHA-DOX formulation demonstrated feasibility in breast cancer treatment and diagnosis/monitoring, leading to a new possibility of a theranostic platform.

Novel theranostic agent for PET imaging and targeted radiopharmaceutical therapy of tumour-infiltrating immune cells in glioma.

Project description:BackgroundMalignant gliomas are deadly tumours with few therapeutic options. Although immunotherapy may be a promising therapeutic strategy for treating gliomas, a significant barrier is the CD11b+ tumour-associated myeloid cells (TAMCs), a heterogeneous glioma infiltrate comprising up to 40% of a glioma's cellular mass that inhibits anti-tumour T-cell function and promotes tumour progression. A theranostic approach uses a single molecule for targeted radiopharmaceutical therapy (TRT) and diagnostic imaging; however, there are few reports of theranostics targeting the tumour microenvironment.MethodsUtilizing a newly developed bifunctional chelator, Lumi804, an anti-CD11b antibody (αCD11b) was readily labelled with either Zr-89 or Lu-177, yielding functional radiolabelled conjugates for PET, SPECT, and TRT.Findings89Zr/177Lu-labeled Lumi804-αCD11b enabled non-invasive imaging of TAMCs in murine gliomas. Additionally, 177Lu-Lumi804-αCD11b treatment reduced TAMC populations in the spleen and tumour and improved the efficacy of checkpoint immunotherapy.Interpretation89Zr- and 177Lu-labeled Lumi804-αCD11b may be a promising theranostic pair for monitoring and reducing TAMCs in gliomas to improve immunotherapy responses.FundingA full list of funding bodies that contributed to this study can be found in the Acknowledgements section.

Bone-targeted acid-sensitive doxorubicin conjugate micelles as potential osteosarcoma therapeutics.

Project description:Osteosarcoma is a malignancy of the bone that primarily affects adolescents. Current treatments retain mortality rates, which are higher than average cancer mortality rates for the adolescent age group. We designed a micellar delivery system with the aim to increase drug accumulation in the tumor and potentially reduce side effects associated with chemotherapy. The design features are the use of the hydrophilic D-aspartic acid octapeptide as both the effective targeting agent as well as the hydrophilic micelle corona. Micelle stabilization was accomplished by binding of model drug (doxorubicin) via an acid-sensitive hydrazone bond and incorporating one to four 11-aminoundecanoic acid (AUA) moieties to manipulate the hydrophobic/hydrophilic ratio. Four micelle-forming unimers have been synthesized and their self-assembly into micelles was evaluated. Size of the micelles could be modified by changing the architecture of the unimers from linear to branched. The stability of the micelles increased with increasing content of AUA moieties. Adsorption of all micelles to hydroxyapatite occurred rapidly. Doxorubicin release occurred at pH 5.5, whereas no release was detected at pH 7.4. Cytotoxicity toward human osteosarcoma Saos-2 cells correlated with drug release data.

Boron-Doped Carbon Nanodots as a Theranostic Agent for Colon Cancer Stem Cells.

Project description:Carbon nanodots have drawn a great deal of attention due to their green and expedient opportunities in biological and chemical sciences. Their high fluorescence capabilities and low toxicity for living cells and tissues make them excellent imaging agents. In addition, they have a fluorimetric response against inorganic and organic species. Boron-doped carbon nanodots (B-CDs) with high fluorescence yield were produced from phenylboronic acid and glutamine as boron and carbon sources, respectively, by a hydrothermal method. First, the effects of the temperature on their fluorescence yield and the structural characteristics of B-CDs were investigated. Second, their cytotoxicity and cell death and proliferation behaviors were examined. The cytotoxicity was evaluated by the MTT assay. The cellular properties were evaluated with the distribution of caspase 3, Ki67, lamin B1, P16, and cytochrome c after the indirect immunoperoxidase technique. After the MTT assay, 1:1 dilution of all applicants for 24 h was used in the study. After immunohistochemical analyses, the application of B-CDs synthesized at 230 °C did not change control cell (Vero) proliferation, and also apoptosis was not triggered. Colo 320 CD133+ and CD133- cell-triggered apoptosis and cellular senescence were found to be synthesis temperature dependent. In addition, Colo 320 CD133- cells were affected relatively more than CD133+ cells from B-CDs. While B-CDs did not affect the control cells, the colon cancer stem cells (Colo 320 CD133+) were affected in a time-dependent manner. Therefore, the use of the synthesized B-CD product may be an alternative method for controlling or eliminating cancer stem cells in the tumor tissue.

Esterase-Catalyzed Siderophore Hydrolysis Activates an Enterobactin-Ciprofloxacin Conjugate and Confers Targeted Antibacterial Activity.

Project description:Enteric Gram-negative bacteria, including Escherichia coli, biosynthesize and deploy the triscatecholate siderophore enterobactin (Ent) in the vertebrate host to acquire iron, an essential nutrient. We report that Ent-Cipro, a synthetic siderophore-antibiotic conjugate based on the native Ent platform that harbors an alkyl linker at one of the catechols with a ciprofloxacin cargo attached, affords targeted antibacterial activity against E. coli strains that express the pathogen-associated iroA gene cluster. Attachment of the siderophore to ciprofloxacin, a DNA gyrase inhibitor and broad-spectrum antibiotic that is used to treat infections caused by E. coli, generates an inactive prodrug and guides the antibiotic into the cytoplasm of bacteria that express the Ent uptake machinery (FepABCDG). Intracellular hydrolysis of the siderophore restores the activity of the antibiotic. Remarkably, Fes, the cytoplasmic Ent hydrolase expressed by all E. coli, does not contribute to Ent-Cipro activation. Instead, this processing step requires IroD, a cytoplasmic hydrolase that is expressed only by E. coli that harbor the iroA gene cluster and are predominantly pathogenic. In the uropathogenic E. coli UTI89 and CFT073, Ent-Cipro provides antibacterial activity comparable to unmodified ciprofloxacin. This work highlights the potential of leveraging and targeting pathogen-associated microbial enzymes in narrow-spectrum antibacterial approaches. Moreover, because E. coli include harmless gut commensals as well as resident microbes that can contribute to disease, Ent-Cipro may provide a valuable chemical tool for strain-selective modulation of the microbiota.
