Dual-Depletion of Intratumoral Lactate and ATP with Radicals Generation for Cascade Metabolic-Chemodynamic Therapy.

ABSTRACT: Increasing evidence has demonstrated that lactate and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) both play important roles in regulating abnormal metabolism in the tumor microenvironment. Herein, an O₂ self-supplying catalytic nanoagent, based on tannic acid (TA)-Fe(III) coordination complexes-coated perfluorooctyl bromide (PFOB) nanodroplets with lactate oxidases (LOX) loading (PFOB@TA-Fe(III)-LOX, PTFL), is designed for cascade metabolic-chemodynamic therapy (CDT) by dual-depletion of lactate and ATP with hydroxyl ^• OH radicals generation. Benefiting from the catalytic property of loaded LOX and O₂ self-supplying of PFOB nanodroplets, PTFL nanoparticles (NPs) efficiently deplete tumoral lactate for down-regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor expression and supplement the insufficient endogenous H₂ O₂ . Simultaneously, TA-Fe(III) complexes release Fe(III) ions and TA in response to intracellular up-regulated ATP in tumor cells followed by TA-mediated Fe(III)/Fe(II) conversion, leading to the depletion of energy source ATP and the generation of cytotoxic ^• OH radicals from H₂ O₂ . Moreover, TA-Fe(III) complexes provide photoacoustic contrast as imaging guidance to enhance therapeutic accuracy. As a result, PTFL NPs efficiently accumulate in tumors for suppression of tumor growth and show evidence of anti-angiogenesis and anti-metastasis effects. This multifunctional nanoagent may provide new insight for targeting abnormal tumor metabolism with the combination of CDT to achieve a synergistic therapeutic effect.

Nanofactory for metabolic and chemodynamic therapy: pro-tumor lactate trapping and anti-tumor ROS transition.

Project description:Lactate plays a critical role in tumorigenesis, invasion and metastasis. Exhausting lactate in tumors holds great promise for the reversal of the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Herein, we report on a "lactate treatment plant" (i.e., nanofactory) that can dynamically trap pro-tumor lactate and in situ transformation into anti-tumor cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) for a synergistic chemodynamic and metabolic therapy. To this end, lactate oxidase (LOX) was nano-packaged by cationic polyethyleneimine (PEI), assisted by a necessary amount of copper ions (PLNPCu). As a reservoir of LOX, the tailored system can actively trap lactate through the cationic PEI component to promote lactate degradation by two-fold efficiency. More importantly, the byproducts of lactate degradation, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), can be transformed into anti-tumor ROS catalyzing by copper ions, mediating an immunogenic cell death (ICD). With the remission of immunosuppressive TME, ICD process effectively initiated the positive immune response in 4T1 tumor model (88% tumor inhibition). This work provides a novel strategy that rationally integrates metabolic therapy and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) for combating tumors.

L-Lactate protects neurons against excitotoxicity: implication of an ATP-mediated signaling cascade.

Project description:Converging experimental data indicate a neuroprotective action of L-Lactate. Using Digital Holographic Microscopy, we observe that transient application of glutamate (100 μM; 2 min) elicits a NMDA-dependent death in 65% of mouse cortical neurons in culture. In the presence of L-Lactate (or Pyruvate), the percentage of neuronal death decreases to 32%. UK5099, a blocker of the Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier, fully prevents L-Lactate-mediated neuroprotection. In addition, L-Lactate-induced neuroprotection is not only inhibited by probenicid and carbenoxolone, two blockers of ATP channel pannexins, but also abolished by apyrase, an enzyme degrading ATP, suggesting that ATP produced by the Lactate/Pyruvate pathway is released to act on purinergic receptors in an autocrine/paracrine manner. Finally, pharmacological approaches support the involvement of the P2Y receptors associated to the PI3-kinase pathway, leading to activation of KATP channels. This set of results indicates that L-Lactate acts as a signalling molecule for neuroprotection against excitotoxicity through coordinated cellular pathways involving ATP production, release and activation of a P2Y/KATP cascade.

Photodynamic-Chemodynamic Cascade Reactions for Efficient Drug Delivery and Enhanced Combination Therapy.

Project description:Nanomedicines with photodynamic therapy and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-triggered drug release capabilities are promising for cancer therapy. However, most of the nanomedicines based on ROS-responsive nanocarriers still suffer from serious ROS consumption during the triggered drug release process. Herein, a photodynamic-chemodynamic cascade strategy for the design of drug delivery nanosystem is proposed. A doxorubicin hydrochloride-loaded ROS-responsive polymersome (DOX-RPS) is prepared via the self-assembly of amphiphilic poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(linoleic acid) and poly(ethylene glycol)-(2-(1-hexyloxyethyl)-2-devinyl pyropheophorbide-α)-iron chelate (PEG-HPPH-Fe). The RPS can effectively deliver a drug to tumor site through passive targeting effect. Upon laser irradiation, the photosensitizer HPPH can efficiently generate ROS, which further causes in situ oxidation of linoleic acid chain and subsequent RPS structural destruction, permitting triggered drug release. Intriguingly, catalyzed by HPPH-Fe, ROS will be regenerated from linoleic acid peroxide through a chemodynamic process. Therefore, ROS-triggered drug release can be achieved without ROS over-consumption. The in vitro and in vivo results confirmed ROS generation, triggered drug release behavior, and potent antitumor effect of the DOX-RPS. This photodynamic-chemodynamic cascade strategy provides a promising approach for enhanced combination therapy.

Lactate Induces Pro-tumor Reprogramming in Intratumoral Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells.

Project description:Plasmacytoid dendritic cells are the most efficient producers of type I interferons, viz. IFNα, in the body and thus have the ability to influence anti-tumor immune responses. But repression of effective intra-tumoral pDC activation is a key immuno-evasion strategy exhibited in tumors-tumor-recruited pDCs are rendered "tolerogenic," characterized by deficiency in IFNα induction and ability to expand regulatory T cells in situ. But the tumor-derived factors that drive this functional reprogramming of intra-tumoral pDCs are not established. In this study we aimed at exploring if intra-tumoral abundance of the oncometabolite lactate influences intra-tumoral pDC function. We found that lactate attenuates IFNα induction by pDCs mediated by intracellular Ca2+ mobilization triggered by cell surface GPR81 receptor as well as directly by cytosolic import of lactate in pDCs through the cell surface monocarboxylate transporters, affecting cellular metabolism needed for effective pDC activation. We also found that lactate enhances tryptophan metabolism and kynurenine production by pDCs which contribute to induction of FoxP3+ CD4+ regulatory T cells, the major immunosuppressive immune cell subset in tumor microenvironment. We validated these mechanisms of lactate-driven pDC reprogramming by looking into tumor recruited pDCs isolated from patients with breast cancers as well as in a preclinical model of breast cancer in mice. Thus, we discovered a hitherto unknown link between intra-tumoral abundance of an oncometabolite resulting from metabolic adaptation in cancer cells and the pro-tumor tolerogenic function of tumor-recruited pDCs, revealing new therapeutic targets for potentiating anti-cancer immune responses.

Targeting metabolic flexibility by simultaneously inhibiting respiratory complex I and lactate generation retards melanoma progression.

Project description:Melanoma is a largely incurable skin malignancy owing to the underlying molecular and metabolic heterogeneity confounded by the development of resistance. Cancer cells have metabolic flexibility in choosing either oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) or glycolysis for ATP generation depending upon the nutrient availability in tumor microenvironment. In this study, we investigated the involvement of respiratory complex I and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in melanoma progression. We show that inhibition of complex I by metformin promotes melanoma growth in mice via elevating lactate and VEGF levels. In contrast, it leads to the growth arrest in vitro because of enhanced extracellular acidification as a result of increased glycolysis. Inhibition of LDH or lactate generation causes decrease in glycolysis with concomitant growth arrest both in vitro and in vivo. Blocking lactate generation in metformin-treated melanoma cells results in diminished cell proliferation and tumor progression in mice. Interestingly, inhibition of either LDH or complex I alone does not induce apoptosis, whereas inhibiting both together causes depletion in cellular ATP pool resulting in metabolic catastrophe induced apoptosis. Overall, our study suggests that LDH and complex I play distinct roles in regulating glycolysis and cell proliferation. Inhibition of these two augments synthetic lethality in melanoma.

A Nanomedicine Fabricated from Gold Nanoparticles?Decorated Metal–Organic Framework for Cascade Chemo/Chemodynamic Cancer Therapy

Project description:Abstract The incorporation of new modalities into chemotherapy greatly enhances the anticancer efficacy combining the merits of each treatment, showing promising potentials in clinical translations. Herein, a hybrid nanomedicine (Au/FeMOF@CPT NPs) is fabricated using metal–organic framework (MOF) nanoparticles and gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) as building blocks for cancer chemo/chemodynamic therapy. MOF NPs are used as vehicles to encapsulate camptothecin (CPT), and the hybridization by Au NPs greatly improves the stability of the nanomedicine in a physiological environment. Triggered by the high concentration of phosphate inside the cancer cells, Au/FeMOF@CPT NPs effectively collapse after internalization, resulting in the complete drug release and activation of the cascade catalytic reactions. The intracellular glucose can be oxidized by Au NPs to produce hydrogen dioxide, which is further utilized as chemical fuel for the Fenton reaction, thus realizing the synergistic anticancer efficacy. Benefitting from the enhanced permeability and retention effect and sophisticated fabrications, the blood circulation time and tumor accumulation of Au/FeMOF@CPT NPs are significantly increased. In vivo results demonstrate that the combination of chemotherapy and chemodynamic therapy effectively suppresses the tumor growth, meantime the systemic toxicity of this nanomedicine is greatly avoided. A hybrid nanomedicine (Au/FeMOF@CPT NPs) consisting of metal–organic framework nanoparticles (MOF NPs) and Au NPs is developed for cancer chemo/chemodynamic therapy. MOF NPs are used as vehicles to encapsulate camptothecin (CPT). H2O2 from the oxidation of intracellular glucose by Au NPs is further utilized as fuel for the Fenton reaction, thus realizing the synergistic anticancer efficacy.

P2X7-mediated ATP secretion is accompanied by depletion of cytosolic ATP.

Project description:ATP and its metabolites are important extracellular signal transmitters acting on purinergic P2 and P1 receptors. Most cells can actively secrete ATP in response to a variety of external stimuli such as gating of the P2X7 receptor. We used Yac-1 murine lymphoma cells to study P2X7-mediated ATP release. These cells co-express P2X7 and ADP-ribosyltransferase ARTC2, permitting gating of P2X7 by NAD+-dependent ADP-ribosylation without the need to add exogenous ATP. Yac-1 cells released ATP into the extracellular space within minutes after stimulation with NAD+. This was blocked by pre-incubation with the inhibitory P2X7-specific nanobody 13A7. Gating of P2X7 for 3 h significantly decreased intracellular ATP levels in living cells, but these had returned to normal by 20 h. P2X7-mediated ATP release was dependent on a rise in cytosolic calcium and the depletion of intracellular potassium, but was not blocked by inhibitors of pannexins or connexins. We used genetically encoded FRET-based ATP sensors targeted to the cytosol to image P2X7-mediated changes in the distribution of ATP in 3T3 fibroblasts co-expressing P2X7 and ARTC2 and in Yac-1 cells. In response to NAD+, we observed a marked depletion of ATP in the cytosol. This study demonstrates the potential of ATP sensors as tools to study regulated ATP release by other cell types under other conditions.

Dual Inhibition of the Lactate Transporters MCT1 and MCT4 Is Synthetic Lethal with Metformin due to NAD+ Depletion in Cancer Cells.

Project description:Highly glycolytic cancer cells prevent intracellular acidification by excreting the glycolytic end-products lactate and H+ via the monocarboxylate transporters 1 (MCT1) and 4 (MCT4). We report that syrosingopine, an anti-hypertensive drug, is a dual MCT1 and MCT4 inhibitor (with 60-fold higher potency on MCT4) that prevents lactate and H+ efflux. Syrosingopine elicits synthetic lethality with metformin, an inhibitor of mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase. NAD+, required for the ATP-generating steps of glycolysis, is regenerated from NADH by mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase or lactate dehydrogenase. Syrosingopine treatment leads to high intracellular lactate levels and thereby end-product inhibition of lactate dehydrogenase. The loss of NAD+ regeneration capacity due to combined metformin and syrosingopine treatment results in glycolytic blockade, leading to ATP depletion and cell death. Accordingly, ATP levels can be partly restored by exogenously provided NAD+, the NAD precursor nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), or vitamin K2. Thus, pharmacological inhibition of MCT1 and MCT4 combined with metformin treatment is a potential cancer therapy.

Oxidative Generation of Boron-Centered Radicals in Carboranes.

Project description:We report the first indirect observation and use of boron vertex-centered carboranyl radicals generated by the oxidation of modified carboranyl precursors. These radical intermediates are formed by the direct oxidation of a B-B bond between a boron cluster cage and an exopolyhedral boron-based substituent (e.g., -BF3K, -B(OH)2). The in situ generated radical species are shown to be competent substrates in reactions with oxygen-based radicals, dichalcogenides, and N-heterocycles, yielding the corresponding substituted carboranes containing B-O, B-S, B-Se, B-Te, and B-C bonds. Remarkably, this chemistry tolerates various electronic environments, providing access to facile substitution chemistry at both electron-rich and electron-poor B-H vertices in carboranes.

Intratumoral heterogeneity of glutaminase and lactate dehydrogenase A protein expression in colorectal cancer.

Project description:The high expression of metabolic enzymes, including glutaminase (GA) and lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA), which contribute to bioenergetics and biosynthesis of mammalian cells, has been identified in a variety of cancer types. The current study indicated intratumoral heterogeneity with respect to protein expression of the metabolic enzymes in colorectal cancer (CRC). GA protein expression was determined using immunohistochemistry in 98 cases of surgically resected T3 CRC. A total of 75 cases (74%) exhibited moderate to strong immunopositivity of GA based on whole-section examination. A significant correlation was demonstrated between GA expression and clinicopathological features, including histological type and tumor budding in a patient population. Detailed histological analysis revealed the upregulation of GA protein expression at the invasive margin, including tumor budding of CRC tissues. Semi-quantitative examination revealed a significant difference in immunoexpression level of GA between the invasive margin and central CRC. However, LDHA expression exhibited an opposite pattern, with expression elevated at the center and significantly decreased at the tumors invasive margin. Immunohistochemical expression of another glycolytic enzyme hexokinase II was equivalent in both regions. Furthermore, gene silencing of GLS1, which encodes GA protein, and GA inhibitor treatment significantly inhibited cell growth of CRC cell lines. Therefore, the results of the present study demonstrated that the alteration in GA and LDHA expression is more prominent at the invasive margin, which involves tumor budding in CRC.
