Cancer Cell Membrane-Coated Nanosuspensions for Enhanced Chemotherapeutic Treatment of Glioma.

ABSTRACT: Effective intracerebral delivery is key for glioma treatment. However, the drug delivery system within the brain is largely limited by its own adverse physical and chemical properties, low targeting efficiency, the blood-brain barrier and the blood-brain tumor barrier. Herein, we developed a simple, safe and efficient biomimetic nanosuspension. The C6 cell membrane (CCM) was utilized to camouflaged the 10-hydroxycamptothecin nanosuspension (HCPT-NS) in order to obtain HCPT-NS/CCM. Through the use of immune escape and homotypic binding of the cancer cell membrane, HCPT-NS/CCM was able to penetrate the blood-brain barrier and target tumors. The HCPT-NS is only comprised of drugs, as well as a small amount of stabilizers that are characterized by a simple preparation method and high drug loading. Similarly, the HCPT-NS/CCM is able to achieve targeted treatment of glioma without any ligand modification, which leads it to be stable and efficient. Cellular uptake and in vivo imaging experiments demonstrated that HCPT-NS/CCM is able to effectively cross the blood-brain barrier and was concentrated at the glioma site due to the natural homing pathway. Our results reveal that the glioma cancer cell membrane is able to promote drug transport into the brain and enter the tumor via a homologous targeting mechanism.

Hybrid membrane-coated nanosuspensions for multi-modal anti-glioma therapy via drug and antigen delivery.

Project description:BackgroundGlioma is one of the deadliest human cancers. Although many therapeutic strategies for glioma have been explored, these strategies are seldom used in the clinic. The challenges facing the treatment of glioma not only involve the development of chemotherapeutic drugs and immunotherapeutic agents, but also the lack of a powerful platform that could deliver these two moieties to the targeted sites. Herein, we developed chemoimmunotherapy delivery vehicles based on C6 cell membranes and DC membranes to create hybrid membrane-coated DTX nanosuspensions (DNS-[C6&DC]m).ResultsResults demonstrated successful hybrid membrane fusion and nanosuspension functionalization, and DNS-[C6&DC]m could be used for different modes of anti-glioma therapy. For drug delivery, membrane coating could be applied to target the source cancer cells via a homotypic-targeting mechanism of the C6 cell membrane. For cancer immunotherapy, biomimetic nanosuspension enabled an immune response based on the professional antigen-presenting characteristic of the dendritic cell membrane (DCm), which carry the full array of cancer cell membrane antigens and facilitate the uptake of membrane-bound tumor antigens for efficient presentation and downstream immune n.ConclusionDNS-[C6&DC]m is a multifunctional biomimetic nano-drug delivery system with the potential to treat gliomas through tumor-targeted drug delivery combined with immunotherapy, thereby presenting a promising approach that may be utilized for multiple modes of cancer therapy.

Carrier-free highly drug-loaded biomimetic nanosuspensions encapsulated by cancer cell membrane based on homology and active targeting for the treatment of glioma.

Project description:Nanosuspensions, as a new drug delivery system for insoluble drugs, are only composed of a drug and a small amount of stabilizer, which is dispersed in an aqueous solution with high drug-loading, small particle size, high dispersion, and large specific surface area. It can significantly improve the dissolution, bioavailability, and efficacy of insoluble drugs. In this study, paclitaxel nanosuspensions ((PTX)NS) were prepared by an ultrasonic precipitation method, with the characteristics of simple preparation and easy repetition. With the help of a homologous targeting mechanism, a kind of glioma C6 cancer cell membrane (CCM)-coated (PTX)NS was developed and modified with DWSW peptide to obtain DWSW-CCM-(PTX)NS with the functions of BBB penetration and tumor targeting. The results showed that the cancer cell membrane could effectively camouflage the nanosuspensions so that it was not cleared by the immune system and could cross the blood-brain-barrier (BBB) and selectively target tumor tissues. Cell uptake experiments and in vivo imaging confirmed that the uptake of DWSW-CCM-(PTX)NS by tumor cells and the distribution in intracranial gliomas increased. Cytotoxicity test and in vivo anti-glioma studies showed that DWSW-CCM-(PTX)NS could significantly inhibit the growth of glioma cells and significantly prolong the survival time of glioma-bearing mice. Finally, the cancer cell membrane coating endowed the nanosuspensions with the biological properties of homologous adhesion and immune escape. This study provides an integrated solution for improving the targeting of nanosuspensions and demonstrates the encouraging potential of biomimetic nanosuspensions applicable to tumor therapy.

Cancer cell membrane-coated nanoparticles for bimodal imaging-guided photothermal therapy and docetaxel-enhanced immunotherapy against cancer.

Project description:BackgroundMono-therapeutic modality has limitations in combating metastatic lesions with complications. Although emerging immunotherapy exhibits preliminary success, solid tumors are usually immunosuppressive, leading to ineffective antitumor immune responses and immunotherapeutic resistance. The rational combination of several therapeutic modalities may potentially become a new therapeutic strategy to effectively combat cancer.ResultsPoly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA, 50 mg) nanospheres were constructed with photothermal transduction agents (PTAs)-Prussian blue (PB, 2.98 mg) encapsulated in the core and chemotherapeutic docetaxel (DTX, 4.18 mg)/ immune adjuvant-imiquimod (R837, 1.57 mg) loaded in the shell. Tumor cell membranes were further coated outside PLGA nanospheres (designated "M@P-PDR"), which acted as "Nano-targeted cells" to actively accumulate in tumor sites, and were guided/monitored by photoacoustic (PA)/ magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Upon laser irradiation, photothermal effects were triggered. Combined with DTX, PTT induced in situ tumor eradication. Assisted by the immune adjuvant R837, the maturation rate of DCs increased by 4.34-fold compared with that of the control. In addition, DTX polarized M2-phenotype tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) to M1-phenotype, relieving the immunosuppressive TME. The proportion of M2-TAMs decreased from 68.57% to 32.80%, and the proportion of M1-TAMs increased from 37.02% to 70.81%. Integrating the above processes, the infiltration of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) increased from 17.33% (control) to 35.5%. Primary tumors and metastasis were significantly inhibited when treated with "Nano-targeted cells"-based cocktail therapy.Conclusion"Nano-targeted cells"-based therapeutic cocktail therapy is a promising approach to promote tumor regression and counter metastasis/recurrence.

Biointerfacial self-assembly generates lipid membrane coated bacteria for enhanced oral delivery and treatment.

Project description:The gut microbiota represents a huge community of microorganisms that play essential roles in immune modulation and homeostasis maintenance. Microbiota transplantation is an important approach to prevent and treat disease as it can inhibit pathogen colonization and positively modulate bacterial composition. However, the development of oral bacterial therapeutics has been restricted by low bioavailability and limited retention in the gastrointestinal tract. Here, we report a simple yet highly efficient method to coat gut microbes via biointerfacial supramolecular self-assembly. Coating can be performed within 15 min by simply vortexing with biocompatible lipids. Bacteria coated with an extra self-assembled lipid membrane exhibit significantly improved survival against environmental assaults and almost unchanged viability and bioactivity. We demonstrate their enhanced efficacies in oral delivery and treatment using two murine models of colitis. We suggest that biointerfacial supramolecular self-assembly may provide a unique platform to generate advanced bacterial therapeutics for the treatment of various diseases.

Preparation of hydroxy genkwanin nanosuspensions and their enhanced antitumor efficacy against breast cancer.

Project description:Hydroxy genkwanin (HGK), a flavonoid compound from natural resources, showed good inhibition against the growth of breast tumor cells. However, the poor solubility restricted the further study and the in vivo drug delivery of HGK. We prepared HGK nanosuspensions by antisolvent precipitation method and investigated their characterization, stability, hemolysis probability, release behavior in vitro, antitumor activity in vitro and in vivo, and preliminary safety through acute toxicity experiments. The resultant HGK nanosuspensions (HGK-NSps) showed an average diameter of (261.1 ± 4.8 nm), a narrow particle size distribution (PDI of 0.12 ± 0.01), spherical morphology, high drug-loading content (39.9 ± 2.3%, w/w), and good stability in various physiological media. HGK-NSps was safe for intravenous injection at low concentration and HGK was slowly released from the obtained nanosuspensions. HGK-NSps showed stronger cytotoxicity than free HGK against many tumor cells in vitro. Especially against MCF-7 cells, the IC50 value was decreased to 1.0 μg/mL, 5-fold lower than the HGK solution. In the in vivo antitumor activity study HGK-NSps (40 mg/kg) displayed a similar therapeutic effect to that of the paclitaxel injection (8 mg/kg). The preliminary acute toxicity test showed that even at the highest dose of 360 mg/kg (iv), HGK-NSps had 100% of mice survival and all the mice were in a good state, suggesting a maximum tolerated dose more than 360 mg/kg. The effective antitumor effect and good tolerance showed HGK-NSps were likely to become a safe and effective antitumor drug for the treatment of breast cancer in the future.

Cell membrane coated smart two-dimensional supraparticle for <i>in vivo</i> homotypic cancer targeting and enhanced combinational theranostics.

Project description:Development of intelligent and multifunctional nanoparticle for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer has drawn great attention recently. In this work, we design a smart two-dimensional (2D) supraparticle for tumor targeted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)/photothermal imaging (PTI) and chemo/photothermal therapy (PTT). Methods: The nanoparticle consists of a manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanosheet coated gold nanorod (GNR) core (loading with chemotherapeutics doxorubicin (DOX)), and cancer cell membrane shell (denoted as CM-DOX-GMNPs). Decoration of cell membrane endows the nanoparticle with greatly improved colloidal stability and homotypic cancer cell targeting ability. Once the nanoparticles enter tumor cells, MnO2 nanosheets can be etched to Mn2+ by glutathione (GSH) and acidic hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the cytosol, leading to the release of DOX. Meanwhile, stimuli dependent releasing of Mn2+ can act as MRI contrast agent for tumor diagnosis. Illumination with near-infrared (NIR) light, photothermal conversion effect of GNRs can be activated for synergistic cancer therapy. Results: In vivo results illustrate that the CM-DOX-GMNPs display tumor specific MRI/PTI ability and excellent inhibition effect on tumor growth. Conclusion: This bioinspired nanoparticle presents an effective and intelligent approach for tumor imaging and therapy, affording valuable guidance for the rational design of robust theranostics nanoplatform.

Lung cell membrane-coated nanoparticles capable of enhanced internalization and translocation in pulmonary epithelial cells.

Project description:Cell membrane-coated nanoparticles (CMCNP), which involve coating a core nanoparticle (NP) with cell membranes, have been gaining attention due to their ability to mimic the properties of the cells, allowing for enhanced delivery and efficacy of therapeutics. Two CMCNP systems comprised of an acetalated dextran-based NP core loaded with curcumin (CUR) coated with cell membranes derived from pulmonary epithelial cells were developed. The NP were approximately 200 nm and their surface charges varied based on their coating, where CMCNP systems exhibited negative surface charge like natural cell membranes. The NP were smooth, spherical, and homogeneous with distinct coatings on their cores. Minimal in vitro toxicity was observed for the NP and controlled release of CUR was observed. The CMCNP internalized into and translocated across an in vitro pulmonary epithelial monolayer significantly more than the control NP. Blocking endocytosis pathways reduced the transcytosis of NP, indicating a relationship between endocytosis and transcytosis. These newly developed CMCNP have the potential to be used in pulmonary drug delivery applications to potentially enhance NP internalization and transport into and across the pulmonary epithelium.

Acute myeloid leukemia cell membrane-coated nanoparticles for cancer vaccination immunotherapy.

Project description:Cancer vaccines are promising treatments to prevent relapse after chemotherapy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, particularly for those who cannot tolerate intensive consolidation therapies. Here, we report the development of an AML cell membrane-coated nanoparticle (AMCNP) vaccine platform, in which immune-stimulatory adjuvant-loaded nanoparticles are coated with leukemic cell membrane material. This AMCNP vaccination strategy stimulates leukemia-specific immune responses by co-delivering membrane-associated antigens along with adjuvants to antigen-presenting cells. To demonstrate that this AMCNP vaccine enhances leukemia-specific antigen presentation and T cell responses, we modified a murine AML cell line to express membrane-bound chicken ovalbumin as a model antigen. AMCNPs were efficiently acquired by antigen-presenting cells in vitro and in vivo and stimulated antigen cross-presentation. Vaccination with AMCNPs significantly enhanced antigen-specific T cell expansion and effector function compared with control vaccines. Prophylactic vaccination with AMCNPs enhanced cellular immunity and protected against AML challenge. Moreover, in an AML post-remission vaccination model, AMCNP vaccination significantly enhanced survival in comparison to vaccination with whole leukemia cell lysates. Collectively, AMCNPs retained AML-specific antigens, elicited enhanced antigen-specific immune responses, and provided therapeutic benefit against AML challenge.

Cancer cell membrane-coated nanoparticles for anticancer vaccination and drug delivery.

Project description:Cell-derived nanoparticles have been garnering increased attention due to their ability to mimic many of the natural properties displayed by their source cells. This top-down engineering approach can be applied toward the development of novel therapeutic strategies owing to the unique interactions enabled through the retention of complex antigenic information. Herein, we report on the biological functionalization of polymeric nanoparticles with a layer of membrane coating derived from cancer cells. The resulting core-shell nanostructures, which carry the full array of cancer cell membrane antigens, offer a robust platform with applicability toward multiple modes of anticancer therapy. We demonstrate that by coupling the particles with an immunological adjuvant, the resulting formulation can be used to promote a tumor-specific immune response for use in vaccine applications. Moreover, we show that by taking advantage of the inherent homotypic binding phenomenon frequently observed among tumor cells the membrane functionalization allows for a unique cancer targeting strategy that can be utilized for drug delivery applications.

Breast Cancer Spheroids Reveal a Differential Cancer Stem Cell Response to Chemotherapeutic Treatment.

Project description:An abnormal multicellular architecture is a defining characteristic of breast cancer and, yet, most in vitro tumor models fail to recapitulate this architecture or accurately predict in vivo cellular responses to therapeutics. The efficacy of two front-line chemotherapeutic agents (paclitaxel and cisplatin) are described within three distinct in vitro models employing the triple-negative basal breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 and the luminal breast cancer cell line MCF7: a) a 3D collagen embedded multicellular spheroid tumor model, which reflects the architecture and cellular heterogeneity of tumors in vivo; b) a 3D collagen model with a single cell-type diffusely embedded; and c) a 2D monolayer. The MDA-MB-231 embedded spheroid tumor model exhibited the most robust response to chemotherapeutic treatment, and possessed the greatest cancer stem cell (CSC) content. CSC-related genes are elevated across all MDA-MB-231 in vitro models following paclitaxel treatment, indicating that paclitaxel enrichment of chemoresistant CSCs is less dependent on microenvironmental tumor structure, while cisplatin showed a more context-dependent response. In the MCF7 cell models a context-dependent response is observed with paclitaxel treatment increasing the CSC related genes in the 2D monolayer and 3D diffuse models while cisplatin treatment afforded an increase in ALDH1A3 expression in all three models.
