Effective CpG Delivery Using Zwitterion-Functionalized Dendrimer-Entrapped Gold Nanoparticles to Promote T Cell-Mediated Immunotherapy of Cancer Cells.

ABSTRACT: Recently, cell-based immunotherapy has become one of the most promising ways to completely eliminate cancer. The major challenge is to effectively promote a proper immune response to kill the cancer cells by activated T cells. This study investigated the effect of T cell-mediated immunotherapy trigged by Au DENPs-MPC (zwitterion 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC)-functionalized dendrimer-entrapped gold nanoparticles) loading oli-godeoxynucleotides (ODN) of unmethylated cytosine guanine dinucleotide (CPG). Here, we first synthesized Au DENPs-MPC, evaluated their capability to compress and transfect CpG-ODN to bone marrow dendritic cells (BMDCs), and investigated the potential to use T cells stimulated by matured BMDCs to inhibit the growth of tumor cells. The developed Au DENPs-MPC could apparently reduce the toxicity of Au DENPs, and enhanced transfer CpG-ODN to the BMDCs for the maturation as demonstrated by the 44.41-48.53% increase in different surface maturation markers. The transwell experiments certificated that ex vivo activated T cells display excellent anti-tumor ability, which could effectively inhibit the growth of tumor cells. These results suggest that Au DENPs-MPC can deliver CpG-ODN efficiently to enhance the antigen presentation ability of BMDCs to activate T cells, indicating that T cells-based immunotherapy mediated by Au DENPs-MPC loaded with CpG-ODN may become the most promising treatment of cancer.

Project description:ObjectiveThis study sought to evaluate the feasibility of multifunctional gastrodin (GAS)-containing nano-drug carrier system against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI).MethodsThe drug-loaded nanocomposite (Au-G5.NHAc-PS/GAS) with certain encapsulation efficiency (EE) was prepared by physical adsorption method using different proportions of GAS and drug-carrying system (Au-G5.NHAc-PS). High-performance liquid chromatography was used to determine the drug loading and EE. Cultured rat astrocytes and hypothalamic neurons were assigned into four groups: PBS, Au-G5.NHAc-PS, Au-G5.NHAc-PS/GAS, and GAS. CCK-8 assay, flow cytometry, and quantitative real-time PCR were performed to examine the cell viability, apoptosis, and the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), IL-1β, and IL-6 in the astrocytes and hypothalamic neurons, respectively. Cellular uptake of GAS and Au-G5.NHAc-PS/GAS was analyzed by using Hoechst 33342 staining. The animal model with focal cerebral ischemia was generated by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in healthy male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats, and pathological changes of brain tissue and major organs in the rats were identified by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. Apoptosis in rat astrocytes and hypothalamic neurons was detected by TUNEL staining and flow cytometry.ResultsAu-G5.NHAc-PS had a spherical shape with a uniform size of 157.3 nm. Among the nanoparticles, Au-G5.NHAc-PS/GAS with an EE of 70.3% displayed the best release delay effect. Moreover, we observed that in vitro cytotoxicity and cellular uptake of Au-G5.NHAc-PS/GAS were higher than those of GAS, whereas the expression of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 was significantly downregulated in Au-G5.NHAc-PS/GAS group as compared to G5.NHAc-PS group. Notably, HE staining revealed that although Au-G5.NHAc-PS/GAS had no toxic and side effects on the main organs of rats, it alleviated the damage of brain tissue in the MCAO rats. Besides, Au-G5.NHAc/GAS markedly reduced MCAO-induced apoptosis.ConclusionAu-G5.NHAc-PS showed favorable surface morphology, sustained drug release ability, no measurable toxicity, and good biocompatibility, indicating that GAS exerts anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic effects on CIRI.
