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

ABSTRACT:

Background

Glioma 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).

Results

Results 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.

Conclusion

DNS-[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.

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

Project description: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.

Multi-modal adaptor-clathrin contacts drive coated vesicle assembly.

Project description:Clathrin-coated pits are formed by the recognition of membrane and cargo by the AP2 complex and the subsequent recruitment of clathrin triskelia. A role for AP2 in coated-pit assembly beyond initial clathrin recruitment has not been explored. Clathrin binds the β2 subunit of AP2, and several binding sites have been identified, but our structural knowledge of these interactions is incomplete and their functional importance during endocytosis is unclear. Here, we analysed the cryo-EM structure of clathrin cages assembled in the presence of β2 hinge-appendage (β2HA). We find that the β2-appendage binds in at least two positions in the cage, demonstrating that multi-modal binding is a fundamental property of clathrin-AP2 interactions. In one position, β2-appendage cross-links two adjacent terminal domains from different triskelia. Functional analysis of β2HA-clathrin interactions reveals that endocytosis requires two clathrin interaction sites: a clathrin-box motif on the hinge and the "sandwich site" on the appendage. We propose that β2-appendage binding to more than one triskelion is a key feature of the system and likely explains why assembly is driven by AP2.

Biopsy Confirmed Glioma Recurrence Predicted by Multi-Modal Neuroimaging Metrics.

Project description:Histopathological verification is currently required to differentiate tumor recurrence from treatment effects related to adjuvant therapy in patients with glioma. To bypass the complications associated with collecting neural tissue samples, non-invasive classification methods are needed to alleviate the burden on patients while providing vital information to clinicians. However, uncertainty remains as to which tissue features on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are useful. The primary objective of this study was to quantitatively assess the reliability of combining MRI and diffusion tensor imaging metrics to discriminate between tumor recurrence and treatment effects in histopathologically identified biopsy samples. Additionally, this study investigates the noise adjuvant radiation therapy introduces when discriminating between tissue types. In a sample of 41 biopsy specimens, from a total of 10 patients, we derived region-of-interest samples from MRI data in the ipsilateral hemisphere that encompassed biopsies obtained during resective surgery. This study compares normalized intensity values across histopathology classifications and contralesional volumes reflected across the midline. Radiation makes noninvasive differentiation of abnormal-nontumor tissue to tumor recurrence much more difficult. This is because radiation exhibits opposing behavior on key MRI modalities: specifically, on post-contrast T1, FLAIR, and GFA. While radiation makes noninvasive differentiation of tumor recurrence more difficult, using a novel analysis of combined MRI metrics combined with clinical annotation and histopathological correlation, we observed that it is possible to successfully differentiate tumor tissue from other tissue types. Additional work will be required to expand upon these findings.

Multi-Modal Imaging to Assess the Follicular Delivery of Zinc Pyrithione.

Project description:Zinc pyrithione (ZnPT) is a widely used antifungal, usually applied as a microparticle suspension to facilitate delivery into the hair follicles, where it then dissociates into a soluble monomeric form that is bioactive against yeast and other microorganisms. In this study, we use multiphoton microscopy (MPM) and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) to characterise ZnPT formulations and map the delivery of particles into follicles within human skin. To simulate real-world conditions, it was applied using a massage or no-massage technique, while simultaneously assessing the dissolution using Zinpyr-1, a zinc labile fluorescent probe. ZnPT particles can be detected in a range of shampoo formulations using both MPM and FLIM, though FLIM is optimal for detection as it allows spectral and lifetime discrimination leading to increased selectivity and sensitivity. In aqueous suspensions, the ZnPT 7.2 µm particles could be detected up to 500 µm in the follicle. The ZnPT particles in formulations were finer (1.0-3.3 µm), resulting in rapid dissolution on the skin surface and within follicles, evidenced by a reduced particle signal at 24 h but enhanced Zinpyr-1 intensity in the follicular and surface epithelium. This study shows how MPM-FLIM multimodal imaging can be used as a useful tool to assess ZnPT delivery to skin and its subsequent dissolution.

Hybrid-FHR: a multi-modal AI approach for automated fetal acidosis diagnosis.

Project description:BackgroundIn clinical medicine, fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring using cardiotocography (CTG) is one of the most commonly used methods for assessing fetal acidosis. However, as the visual interpretation of CTG depends on the subjective judgment of the clinician, this has led to high inter-observer and intra-observer variability, making it necessary to introduce automated diagnostic techniques.MethodsIn this study, we propose a computer-aided diagnostic algorithm (Hybrid-FHR) for fetal acidosis to assist physicians in making objective decisions and taking timely interventions. Hybrid-FHR uses multi-modal features, including one-dimensional FHR signals and three types of expert features designed based on prior knowledge (morphological time domain, frequency domain, and nonlinear). To extract the spatiotemporal feature representation of one-dimensional FHR signals, we designed a multi-scale squeeze and excitation temporal convolutional network (SE-TCN) backbone model based on dilated causal convolution, which can effectively capture the long-term dependence of FHR signals by expanding the receptive field of each layer's convolution kernel while maintaining a relatively small parameter size. In addition, we proposed a cross-modal feature fusion (CMFF) method that uses multi-head attention mechanisms to explore the relationships between different modalities, obtaining more informative feature representations and improving diagnostic accuracy.ResultsOur ablation experiments show that the Hybrid-FHR outperforms traditional previous methods, with average accuracy, specificity, sensitivity, precision, and F1 score of 96.8, 97.5, 96, 97.5, and 96.7%, respectively.ConclusionsOur algorithm enables automated CTG analysis, assisting healthcare professionals in the early identification of fetal acidosis and the prompt implementation of interventions.

Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticle-Coated Microneedle Arrays for Intradermal Antigen Delivery.

Project description:PurposeTo develop a new intradermal antigen delivery system by coating microneedle arrays with lipid bilayer-coated, antigen-loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles (LB-MSN-OVA).MethodsSynthesis of MSNs with 10-nm pores was performed and the nanoparticles were loaded with the model antigen ovalbumin (OVA), and coated with a lipid bilayer (LB-MSN-OVA). The uptake of LB-MSN-OVA by bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BDMCs) was studied by flow cytometry. The designed LB-MSN-OVA were coated onto pH-sensitive pyridine-modified microneedle arrays and the delivery of LB-MSN-OVA into ex vivo human skin was studied.ResultsThe synthesized MSNs demonstrated efficient loading of OVA with a maximum loading capacity of about 34% and the lipid bilayer enhanced the colloidal stability of the MSNs. Uptake of OVA loaded in LB-MSN-OVA by BMDCs was higher than that of free OVA, suggesting effective targeting of LB-MSN-OVA to antigen-presenting cells. Microneedles were readily coated with LB-MSN-OVA at pH 5.8, yielding 1.5 μg of encapsulated OVA per microneedle array. Finally, as a result of the pyridine modification, LB-MSN-OVA were effectively released from the microneedles upon piercing the skin.ConclusionMicroneedle arrays coated with LB-MSN-OVA were successfully developed and shown to be suitable for intradermal delivery of the encapsulated protein antigen.

Hybrid Membrane-Derived Nanoparticles for Isoliquiritin Enhanced Glioma Therapy.

Project description:Due to the obstruction and heterogeneity of the blood-brain barrier, the clinical treatment of glioma has been extremely difficult. Isoliquiritigenin (ISL) exhibits antitumor effects, but its low solubility and bioavailability limit its application potential. Herein, we established a nanoscale hybrid membrane-derived system composed of erythrocytes and tumor cells. By encapsulating ISL in hybrid membrane nanoparticles, ISL is expected to be enhanced for the targeting and long-circulation in gliomas therapy. We fused erythrocytes with human glioma cells U251 and extracted the fusion membrane via hypotension, termed as hybrid membrane (HM). HM-camouflaged ISL nanoparticles (ISL@HM NPs) were prepared and featured with FT-IR, SEM, TEM, and DLS particle analysis. As the results concluded, the ISL active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) were successfully encapsulated with HM membranes, and the NPs loading efficiency was 38.9 ± 2.99% under maximum entrapment efficiency. By comparing the IC50 of free ISL and NPs, we verified that the solubility and antitumor effect of NPs was markedly enhanced. We also investigated the mechanism of the antitumor effect of ISL@HM NPs, which revealed a marked inhibition of tumor cell proliferation and promotion of senescence and apoptosis of tumor cells of the formulation. In addition, the FSC and WB results examined the effects of different concentrations of ISL@HM NPs on tumor cell disruption and apoptotic protein expression. Finally, it can be concluded that hybridized membrane-derived nanoparticles could prominently increase the solubility of insoluble materials (as ISL), and also enhance its targeting and antitumor effect.
