Cell Membrane Vesicles with Enriched CXCR4 Display Enhances Their Targeted Delivery as Drug Carriers to Inflammatory Sites.

ABSTRACT: Cell membrane vesicles (CMVs) are composed of natural cell membranes which makes them effective drug delivery systems with low immunogenicity and prolonged circulation time. However, targeting delivery of CMVs in vivo for clinical applications is still a major challenge. In this study, CXCR4 recombinant lentivirus is transfected into MC-3T3 cells and membrane CXCR4-enriched MC-3T3 cells are obtained. CMVs with enriched membrane CXCR4 display (CXCR4-CMVs) are obtained from the transfected MC-3T3 cells. Curcumin, an effective natural anti-inflammatory compound, is encapsulated into CXCR4-CMVs through physical entrapment (CXCR4/Cur-CMVs), with the membrane integrity of CXCR4/Cur-CMVs being well-preserved. CXCR4/Cur-CMVs induce enhanced M2 macrophage polarization, exhibit anti-inflammatory effects, and significantly improve homing via the CXCR4/CXCL12 axis in vitro. Utilizing ulcerative colitis and apical periodontitis as inflammatory disease models, it is found that CXCR4/Cur-CMVs are obviously aggregated within inflammatory areas after intravenous administration, which results in significant amelioration of ulcerative colitis and apical periodontitis. Therefore, this research may provide a feasible and innovative approach for fabricating an inflammatory site-targeting delivery system, by engineering CMVs to increase membrane-presenting CXCR4 receptor.

Targeted immunosuppression enhances repeated gene delivery

Project description:Immune system responses against adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors are potentiated after the first administration, which has prevented the clinical use of repeated administration of AAV-based gene therapies. Here, we quantify the contributions of multiple immune system components towards AAV response in mice. We identify B-cell-mediated immunity, specifically the generation of IgM antibodies, as a critical component preventing vector re-administration.

Utilization of Glycosaminoglycans/Proteoglycans as Carriers for Targeted Therapy Delivery.

Project description:The outcome of patients with cancer has improved significantly in the past decade with the incorporation of drugs targeting cell surface adhesive receptors, receptor tyrosine kinases, and modulation of several molecules of extracellular matrices (ECMs), the complex composite of collagens, glycoproteins, proteoglycans, and glycosaminoglycans that dictates tissue architecture. Cancer tissue invasive processes progress by various oncogenic strategies, including interfering with ECM molecules and their interactions with invasive cells. In this review, we describe how the ECM components, proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans, influence tumor cell signaling. In particular this review describes how the glycosaminoglycan hyaluronan (HA) and its major receptor CD44 impact invasive behavior of tumor cells, and provides useful insight when designing new therapeutic strategies in the treatment of cancer.

Polystyrene-modified carbon nanotubes: Promising carriers in targeted drug delivery.

Project description:To design drug-delivery agents for therapeutic and diagnostic applications, understanding the mechanisms by which covalently functionalized carbon nanotubes penetrate and interact with cell membranes is of great importance. Here, we report all-atom molecular dynamics results from polystyrene and carboxyl-terminated polystyrene-modified carbon nanotubes and show their translocation behavior across a model lipid bilayer together with their potential to deliver a molecule of the drug ibuprofen into the cell. Our results indicate that functionalized carbon nanotubes are internalized by the membrane in hundreds of nanoseconds and that drug loading increases the internalization speed further. Both loaded and unloaded tubes cross the closest leaflet of the bilayer by nonendocytic pathways, and for the times studied, the drug molecule remains trapped inside the pristine tube while remaining attached at the end of polystyrene-modified tube. On the other hand, carboxyl-terminated polystyrene functionalization allows the drug to be completely released into the lower leaflet of the bilayer without imposing damage to the membrane. This study shows that polystyrene functionalization is a promising alternative and facilitates drug delivery as a benchmark case.

Protein-enriched outer membrane vesicles as a native platform for outer membrane protein studies.

Project description:Most studies characterizing the folding, structure, and function of membrane proteins rely on solubilized or reconstituted samples. Whereas solubilized membrane proteins lack the functionally important lipid membrane, reconstitution embeds them into artificial lipid bilayers, which lack characteristic features of cellular membranes including lipid diversity, composition and asymmetry. Here, we utilize outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) released from Escherichia coli to study outer membrane proteins (Omps) in the native membrane environment. Enriched in the native membrane of the OMV we characterize the assembly, folding, and structure of OmpG, FhuA, Tsx, and BamA. Comparing Omps in OMVs to those reconstituted into artificial lipid membranes, we observe different unfolding pathways for some Omps. This observation highlights the importance of the native membrane environment to maintain the native structure and function relationship of Omps. Our fast and easy approach paves the way for functional and structural studies of Omps in the native membrane.

Plant plasma membrane vesicles interaction with keratinocytes reveals their potential as carriers.

Project description:During the last few years, membrane vesicles (as exovesicles) have emerged as potential nanocarriers for therapeutic applications. They are receiving attention due to their proteo-lipid nature, size, biocompatibility and biodegradability. In this work, we investigated the potential use of isolated root plasma membrane vesicles from broccoli plants as nanocarriers. For that, the entrapment efficiency and integrity of the vesicles were determined. Also, the delivery of keratinocytes and penetrability through skin were studied. The results show that the broccoli vesicles had high stability, in relation to their proteins, and high entrapment efficiency. Also, the interaction between the vesicles and keratinocytes was proven by the delivery of an encapsulated fluorescent product into cells and by the detection of plant proteins in the keratinocyte plasma membrane, showing the interactions between the membranes of two species of distinct biological kingdoms. Therefore, these results, together with the capacity of brassica vesicles to cross the skin layers, detected by fluorescent penetration, enable us to propose a type of nanocarrier obtained from natural plant membranes for use in transdermal delivery.

Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted photodynamic therapy enhances the delivery of PSMA-targeted magnetic nanoparticles to PSMA-expressing prostate tumors.

Project description:Enhanced vascular permeability in tumors plays an essential role in nanoparticle delivery. Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is overexpressed on the epithelium of aggressive prostate cancers (PCs). Here, we evaluated the feasibility of increasing the delivery of PSMA-targeted magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) to tumors by enhancing vascular permeability in PSMA(+) PC tumors with PSMA-targeted photodynamic therapy (PDT). Method: PSMA(+) PC3 PIP tumor-bearing mice were given a low-molecular-weight PSMA-targeted photosensitizer and treated with fluorescence image-guided PDT, 4 h after. The mice were then given a PSMA-targeted MNP immediately after PDT and monitored with fluorescence imaging and T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (T2-W MRI) 18 h, 42 h, and 66 h after MNP administration. Untreated PSMA(+) PC3 PIP tumor-bearing mice were used as negative controls. Results: An 8-fold increase in the delivery of the PSMA-targeted MNPs was detected using T2-W MRI in the pretreated tumors 42 h after PDT, compared to untreated tumors. Additionally, T2-W MRIs revealed enhanced peripheral intra-tumoral delivery of the PSMA-targeted MNPs. That finding is in keeping with two-photon microscopy, which revealed higher vascular densities at the tumor periphery. Conclusion: These results suggest that PSMA-targeted PDT enhances the delivery of PSMA-targeted MNPs to PSMA(+) tumors by enhancing the vascular permeability of the tumors.

Carriers for the targeted delivery of aerosolized macromolecules for pulmonary pathologies.

Project description:IntroductionMacromolecules with unique effects and potency are increasingly being considered for application in lung pathologies. Numerous delivery strategies for these macromolecules through the lung have been investigated to improve the targeting and overall efficacy.Areas coveredTargeting approaches from delivery devices, formulation strategies and specific targets are discussed.Expert opinionAlthough macromolecules are a heterogeneous group of molecules, a number of strategies have been investigated at the macro, micro, and nanoscopic scale for the delivery of macromolecules to specific sites and cells of lung tissues. Targeted approaches are already in use at the macroscopic scale through inhalation devices and formulations, but targeting strategies at the micro and nanoscopic scale are still in the laboratory stage. The combination of controlling lung deposition and targeting after deposition, through a combination of targeting strategies could be the future direction for the treatment of lung pathologies through the pulmonary route.

Carbon Nanotubes-Potent Carriers for Targeted Drug Delivery in Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Project description:Two types of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), HiPco- and carboxyl-SWCNT, are evaluated as drug carriers for the traditional anti-inflammatory drug methotrexate (MTX) and a small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting NOTCH1 gene. The nanotubes are solubilized by PEGylation and covalently loaded with MTX. The coupling efficiency (CE%) of MTX is 77-79% for HiPco-SWCNT and 71-83% for carboxyl-SWCNT. siRNA is noncovalently attached to the nanotubes with efficiency of 90-97% for HiPco-SWCNT and 87-98% for carboxyl-SWCNT. Through whole body imaging in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II window, 1000-1700 nm), SWCNTs were found to be selectively accumulated in inflamed joints in a serum transfer mouse model. We further investigated the interactions of the siRNA/MTX loaded nanotubes with human blood and mice bone marrow cells. In human blood, both types of unloaded SWCNTs were associated with B cells, monocytes and neutrophils. Interestingly, loading with MTX suppressed SWCNTs targeting specificity to immune cells, especially B cells; in contrast, loading siRNA alone enhanced the targeting specificity. Loading both MTX and siRNA to carboxyl-SWCNT enhanced targeting specificity to neutrophils and monocytes but not B cells. The targeting specificity of SWCNTs can potentially be adjusted by altering the ratio of MTX and siRNA loaded. The combined results show that carbon nanotubes have the potential for delivery of cargo drugs specifically to immune cells involved in rheumatoid arthritis.
