Dendritic Cells Pulsed with Cytokine-Adjuvanted Tumor Membrane Vesicles Inhibit Tumor Growth in HER2-Positive and Triple Negative Breast Cancer Models.

ABSTRACT: Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most effective antigen presenting cells for the development of T cell responses. The only FDA approved DC-based immunotherapy to date is Sipuleucel-T, which utilizes a fusion protein to stimulate DCs ex vivo with GM-CSF and simultaneously deliver the antigen PAP for prostate cancer. This approach is restricted by the breadth of immunity elicited to a single antigen, and to cancers that have a defined tumor associated antigen. Other multi-antigen approaches have been restricted by poor efficacy of vaccine adjuvants. We have developed a vaccine platform that consists of autologous DCs pulsed with cytokine-adjuvanted tumor membrane vesicles (TMVs) made from tumor tissue, that encapsulate the antigenic landscape of individual tumors. Here we test the efficacy of DCs pulsed with TMVs incorporated with glycolipid-anchored immunostimulatory molecules (GPI-ISMs) in HER2-positive and triple negative breast cancer murine models. Pulsing of DCs with TMVs containing GPI-ISMs results in superior uptake of vesicles, DC activation and cytokine production. Adaptive transfer of TMV-pulsed DCs to tumor bearing mice results in the inhibition of tumor growth, reduction in lung metastasis, and an increase in immune cell infiltration into the tumors. These observations suggest that DCs pulsed with TMVs containing GPI-GM-CSF and GPI-IL-12 can be further developed to be used as a personalized immunotherapy platform for cancer treatment.

Dual complementary liposomes inhibit triple-negative breast tumor progression and metastasis.

Project description:Distinguishing malignant cells from non-neoplastic ones is a major challenge in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) treatment. Here, we developed a complementary targeting strategy that uses precisely matched, multivalent ligand-receptor interactions to recognize and target TNBC tumors at the primary site and metastatic lesions. We screened a panel of cancer cell surface markers and identified intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM1) and epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR) as optimal candidates for TNBC complementary targeting. We engineered a dual complementary liposome (DCL) that precisely complements the molecular ratio and organization of ICAM1 and EGFR specific to TNBC cell surfaces. Our in vitro mechanistic studies demonstrated that DCLs, compared to single-targeting liposomes, exhibited increased binding, enhanced internalization, and decreased receptor signaling. DCLs consistently exhibited substantially increased tumor targeting activity and antitumor efficacy in orthotopic and lung metastasis models, indicating that DCLs are a platform technology for the design of personalized nanomedicines for TNBC.

Comparison of the tumor immune microenvironment of primary hormone receptor-negative HER2-positive and triple negative breast cancer.

Project description:The vast majority of studies investigating immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) in patients with breast cancer have focused on triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). In this study, we compared the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) between TNBC and hormone receptor-negative HER2-positive breast cancer based on a selection of immune markers at the protein level in an institutional retrospective series. Additionally, we performed a similar comparison using publicly available transcriptomics data. Altogether, the results show a comparable TIME in both groups, with possible implications for the use of ICI in patients with hormone receptor-negative HER2-positive breast tumors.

Edelfosine nanoemulsions inhibit tumor growth of triple negative breast cancer in zebrafish xenograft model.

Project description:Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is known for being very aggressive, heterogeneous and highly metastatic. The standard of care treatment is still chemotherapy, with adjacent toxicity and low efficacy, highlighting the need for alternative and more effective therapeutic strategies. Edelfosine, an alkyl-lysophospholipid, has proved to be a promising therapy for several cancer types, upon delivery in lipid nanoparticles. Therefore, the objective of this work was to explore the potential of edelfosine for the treatment of TNBC. Edelfosine nanoemulsions (ET-NEs) composed by edelfosine, Miglyol 812 and phosphatidylcholine as excipients, due to their good safety profile, presented an average size of about 120 nm and a neutral zeta potential, and were stable in biorelevant media. The ability of ET-NEs to interrupt tumor growth in TNBC was demonstrated both in vitro, using a highly aggressive and invasive TNBC cell line, and in vivo, using zebrafish embryos. Importantly, ET-NEs were able to penetrate through the skin barrier of MDA-MB 231 xenografted zebrafish embryos, into the yolk sac, leading to an effective decrease of highly aggressive and invasive tumoral cells' proliferation. Altogether the results demonstrate the potential of ET-NEs for the development of new therapeutic approaches for TNBC.

Combined CB2 receptor agonist and photodynamic therapy synergistically inhibit tumor growth in triple negative breast cancer.

Project description:Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the deadliest form of breast cancer because it is more aggressive, diagnosed at later stage and more likely to develop local and systemic recurrence. Many patients do not experience adequate tumor control after current clinical treatments involving surgical removal, chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy, leading to disease progression and significantly decreased quality of life. Here we report a new combinatory therapy strategy involving cannabinoid-based medicine and photodynamic therapy (PDT) for the treatment of TNBC. This combinatory therapy targets two proteins upregulated in TNBC: the cannabinoid CB2 receptor (CB2R, a G-protein coupled receptor) and translocator protein (TSPO, a mitochondria membrane receptor). We found that the combined CB2R agonist and TSPO-PDT treatment resulted in synergistic inhibition in TNBC cell and tumor growth. This combinatory therapy approach provides new opportunities to treat TNBC with high efficacy. In addition, this study provides new evidence on the therapeutic potential of CB2R agonists for cancer.

Increases in Tumor N-Glycan Polylactosamines Associated with Advanced HER2-Positive and Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Tissues.

Project description:PurposeUsing a recently developed matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization imaging mass spectrometry (MALDI-IMS) method, human breast cancer formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections and tissue microarrays (TMA) are evaluated for N-linked glycan distribution in the tumor microenvironment.Experimental designTissue sections representing multiple human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) receptor-positive and triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC) in both TMA and FFPE slide format are processed for high resolution N-glycan MALDI-IMS. An additional FFPE tissue cohort of primary and metastatic breast tumors from the same donors are also evaluated.ResultsThe cumulative N-glycan MALDI-IMS analysis of breast cancer FFPE tissues and TMAs indicate the distribution of specific glycan structural classes to stromal, necrotic, and tumor regions. A series of high-mannose, branched and fucosylated glycans are detected predominantly within tumor regions. Additionally, a series of polylactosamine glycans are detected in advanced HER2+, TNBC, and metastatic breast cancer tissues. Comparison of tumor N-glycan species detected in paired primary and metastatic tissues indicate minimal changes between the two conditions.Conclusions and clinical relevanceThe prevalence of tumor-associated polylactosamine glycans in primary and metastatic breast cancer tissues indicates new mechanistic insights into the development and progression of breast cancers. The presence of these glycans could be targeted for therapeutic strategies and further evaluation as potential prognostic biomarkers.

Tumor-Pulsed Dendritic Cells Used as a Tumor Vaccine

Project description:This study is being conducted to determine the efficacy, side effects, and toxicity of an investigational vaccine that consists of tumor-pulsed dendritic cells administered with an immune stimulating drug called interleukin-2 (IL-2). Dendritic cells are immune cells that are obtained from a subject’s blood and are important in the body’s immune response to foreign substances. This study will examine the response of a subject’s immune system after receiving several vaccinations containing their own dendritic cells which have been exposed to dead fragments of their cancer cells in the laboratory. This may result in sensitizing a subject’s dendritic cells to their cancer cells so that their dendritic cells will react with other cells of the immune system and attack the cancer. It has been shown in the laboratory that dendritic cells exposed to cancer cell fragments can provide lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) with signals they require in order to become fully activated and acquire the ability to kill cancer cells.

Applications of Extracellular Vesicles in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer.

Project description:Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive and refractory subtype of breast cancer, often occurring in younger patients with poor clinical prognosis. Given the current lack of specific targets for effective intervention, the development of better treatment strategies remains an unmet medical need. Over the last decade, the field of extracellular vesicles (EVs) has grown tremendously, offering immense potential for clinical diagnosis/prognosis and therapeutic applications. While TNBC-EVs have been shown to play an important role in tumorigenesis, chemoresistance and metastasis, they could be repurposed as potential biomarkers for TNBC diagnosis and prognosis. Furthermore, EVs from various cell types can be utilized as nanoscale drug delivery systems (NDDS) for TNBC treatment. Remarkably, EVs generated from specific immune cell subsets have been shown to delay solid tumour growth and reduce tumour burden, suggesting a new immunotherapy approach for TNBC. Intrinsically, EVs can cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which holds great potential to treat the brain metastases diagnosed in one third of TNBC patients that remains a substantial clinical challenge. In this review, we present the most recent applications of EVs in TNBC as diagnostic/prognostic biomarkers, nanoscale drug delivery systems and immunotherapeutic agents, as well as discuss the associated challenges and future directions of EVs in cancer immunotherapy.

Bacterial outer membrane vesicles-based therapeutic platform eradicates triple-negative breast tumor by combinational photodynamic/chemo-/immunotherapy.

Project description:Bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are potent immuno-stimulating agents and have the potentials to be bioengineered as platforms for antitumor nanomedicine. In this study, OMVs are demonstrated as promising antitumor therapeutics. OMVs can lead to beneficial M2-to-M1 polarization of macrophages and induce pyroptosis to enhance antitumor immunity, but the therapeutic window of OMVs is narrow for its toxicity. We propose a bioengineering strategy to enhance the tumor-targeting ability of OMVs by macrophage-mediated delivery and improve the antitumor efficacy by co-loading of photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) and chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX) into OMVs as a therapeutic platform. We demonstrate that systemic injection of the DOX/Ce6-OMVs@M therapeutic platform, providing combinational photodynamic/chemo-/immunotherapy, eradicates triple-negative breast tumors in mice without side effects. Importantly, this strategy also effectively prevents tumor metastasis to the lung. This OMVs-based strategy with bioengineering may serve as a powerful therapeutic platform for a synergic antitumor therapy.

Dendritic cells pulsed with placental gp96 promote tumor-reactive immune responses.

Project description:Defining and loading of immunogenic and safe cancer antigens remain a major challenge for designing dendritic cell (DC)-based cancer vaccines. In this study, we defined a prototype strategy of using DC-based vaccines pulsed with placenta-derived heat shock protein gp96 to induces anti-tumor T cell responses. Placental gp96 was efficiently taken up by CD11c+ bone marrow-derived DCs (BMDCs) and resulted in moderate BMDC maturation. Splenocytes and cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) generated with mouse BMDCs pulsed with placental gp96 specifically lysed B16 melanoma and LLC lung carcinoma cells. In both transplantable melanoma and lung carcinoma mice models, immunization with placental gp96-stimulated BMDCs led to a significant decrease in tumor growth and mouse mortality with respect to mice treated with liver gp96-pulsed BMDCs or placental gp96 alone. This vaccine induced strong cross-reactive tumor-specific T cell responses. Our results revealed that DCs pulsed with placenta-derived gp96 represent an effective immunotherapy to induce tumor-reactive immune responses, possibly via loading DCs with its associated carcinoembryonic antigens.

Anti-EGFR bioengineered bacterial outer membrane vesicles as targeted immunotherapy candidate in triple-negative breast tumor murine model.

Project description:Cancer immunotherapy employing checkpoint inhibitors holds great promise across diverse cancers; nonetheless, a substantial proportion of patients (ranging from 55 to 87%) remain unresponsive to this treatment. To amplify therapeutic efficiency, we propose a synergistic therapeutic strategy that entails the deployment of targeted nano-sized particles carrying Toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists to the tumor site. This innovative approach seeks to activate intratumoral antigen-presenting cells using bioengineered outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) derived from gram-negative bacteria. These OMVs possess inherent attributes of surface-exposed immune stimulators and TLR-activating components, rendering them intriguing candidates for investigation. These OMVs were meticulously designed to selectively target cancer cells exhibiting an overexpression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). To gauge the precision of this targeting, the conducted affinity-based assays aimed at determining the equilibrium dissociation constant of the single-chain variable fragment employed for this purpose. In vitro experiments confirmed the OMVs' proficiency in adhering to EGFR-overexpressed cancer cells. Moreover, the evaluation extended to an in vivo context, where the therapeutic effect of nanovesicles was appraised within the tumor microenvironment of the triple-negative breast cancer mouse model. Notably, both intraperitoneal and intratumoral administrations of nanovesicles exhibited the ability to activate natural killer cells and skew M2 macrophage towards an M1 phenotype. The combined scrutiny of in vitro and in vivo findings underscores the potential efficiency of OMVs as a promising strategy for future anti-tumor endeavors.
