Conductive Gas Plasma Treatment Augments Tumor Toxicity of Ringer's Lactate Solutions in a Model of Peritoneal Carcinomatosis.

ABSTRACT: Reactive species generated by medical gas plasma technology can be enriched in liquids for use in oncology targeting disseminated malignancies, such as metastatic colorectal cancer. Notwithstanding, reactive species quantities depend on the treatment mode, and we recently showed gas plasma exposure in conductive modes to be superior for cancer tissue treatment. However, evidence is lacking that such a conductive mode also equips gas plasma-treated liquids to confer augmented intraperitoneal anticancer activity. To this end, employing atmospheric pressure argon plasma jet kINPen-treated Ringer's lactate (oxRilac) in a CT26-model of colorectal peritoneal carcinomatosis, we tested repeated intraabdominal injection of such remotely or conductively oxidized liquid for antitumor control and immunomodulation. Enhanced reactive species formation in conductive mode correlated with reduced tumor burden in vivo, emphasizing the advantage of conduction over the free mode for plasma-conditioned liquids. Interestingly, the infiltration of lymphocytes into the tumors was equally enhanced by both treatments. However, significantly lower levels of interleukin (IL)4 and IL13 and increased levels of IL2 argue for a shift in intratumoral T-helper cell subpopulations correlating with disease control. In conclusion, our data argue for using conductively over remotely prepared plasma-treated liquids for anticancer treatment.

Gas Plasma-Conditioned Ringer's Lactate Enhances the Cytotoxic Activity of Cisplatin and Gemcitabine in Pancreatic Cancer In Vitro and In Ovo.

Project description:Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive tumor entities. Diffuse metastatic infiltration of vessels and the peritoneum restricts curative surgery. Standard chemotherapy protocols include the cytostatic drug gemcitabine with limited efficacy at considerable toxicity. In search of a more effective and less toxic treatment modality, we tested in human pancreatic cancer cells (MiaPaca and PaTuS) a novel combination therapy consisting of cytostatic drugs (gemcitabine or cisplatin) and gas plasma-conditioned Ringer's lactate that acts via reactive oxygen species. A decrease in metabolic activity and viability, change in morphology, and cell cycle arrest was observed in vitro. The combination treatment was found to be additively toxic. The findings were validated utilizing an in ovo tumor model of solid pancreatic tumors growing on the chorion-allantois membrane of fertilized chicken eggs (TUM-CAM). The combination of the drugs (especially cisplatin) with the plasma-conditioned liquid significantly enhanced the anti-cancer effects, resulting in the induction of cell death, cell cycle arrest, and inhibition of cell growth with both of the cell lines tested. In conclusion, our novel combination approach may be a promising new avenue to increase the tolerability and efficacy of locally applied chemotherapeutic in diffuse metastatic peritoneal carcinomatosis of the pancreas.

Peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Project description:Several gastrointestinal and gynecological malignancies have the potential to disseminate and grow in the peritoneal cavity. The occurrence of peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) has been shown to significantly decrease overall survival in patients with liver and/or extraperitoneal metastases from gastrointestinal cancer. During the last three decades, the understanding of the biology and pathways of dissemination of tumors with intraperitoneal spread, and the understanding of the protective function of the peritoneal barrier against tumoral seeding, has prompted the concept that PC is a loco-regional disease: in absence of other systemic metastases, multimodal approaches combining aggressive cytoreductive surgery, intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy and systemic chemotherapy have been proposed and are actually considered promising methods to improve loco-regional control of the disease, and ultimately to increase survival. The aim of this review article is to present the evidence on treatment of PC in different tumors, in order to provide patients with a proper surgical and multidisciplinary treatment focused on optimal control of their locoregional disease.

Non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma activates lactate in Ringer's solution for anti-tumor effects.

Project description:Non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma is a novel approach for wound healing, blood coagulation, and cancer therapy. A recent discovery in the field of plasma medicine is that non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma not only directly but also indirectly affects cells via plasma-treated liquids. This discovery has led to the use of non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma as a novel chemotherapy. We refer to these plasma-treated liquids as plasma-activated liquids. We chose Ringer's solutions to produce plasma-activated liquids for clinical applications. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that plasma-activated Ringer's lactate solution has anti-tumor effects, but of the four components in Ringer's lactate solution, only lactate exhibited anti-tumor effects through activation by non-thermal plasma. Nuclear magnetic resonance analyses indicate that plasma irradiation generates acetyl and pyruvic acid-like groups in Ringer's lactate solution. Overall, these results suggest that plasma-activated Ringer's lactate solution is promising for chemotherapy.

Plasma-activated Ringer's Lactate Solution Displays a Selective Cytotoxic Effect on Ovarian Cancer Cells.

Project description:Epithelial Ovarian Cancer (EOC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths among women and is characterized by the diffusion of nodules or plaques from the ovary to the peritoneal surfaces. Conventional therapeutic options cannot eradicate the disease and show low efficacy against resistant tumor subclones. The treatment of liquids via cold atmospheric pressure plasma enables the production of plasma-activated liquids (PALs) containing reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) with selective anticancer activity. Thus, the delivery of RONS to cancer tissues by intraperitoneal washing with PALs might be an innovative strategy for the treatment of EOC. In this work, plasma-activated Ringer's Lactate solution (PA-RL) was produced by exposing a liquid substrate to a multiwire plasma source. Subsequently, PA-RL dilutions are used for the treatment of EOC, non-cancer and fibroblast cell lines, revealing a selectivity of PA-RL, which induces a significantly higher cytotoxic effect in EOC with respect to non-cancer cells.

Absence of host-secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC) augments peritoneal ovarian carcinomatosis.

Project description:The matricellular glycoprotein SPARC (secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine) possesses multifaceted roles in modulation of cell-matrix interactions, as well as tumor growth and metastasis. To investigate the influence of host-derived SPARC on peritoneal dissemination of ovarian cancer, we established a murine model that faithfully recapitulates advanced human disease by intraperitoneal injection of syngeneic ID8 ovarian cancer cells into SPARC-null and wild-type mice. Compared to wild-type mice, SPARC-null mice showed significantly shorter survival and developed extensive nodular peritoneal dissemination with hemorrhagic ascitic fluid accumulation. Ascitic fluid collected from SPARC-null mice showed significantly augmented levels and activity of vascular endothelial growth factor and gelatinases. Immunohistochemical analysis of tumor nodules from SPARC-null mice revealed higher proliferation and lower apoptosis indices with minimal staining for major extracellular matrix constituents. In vitro, SPARC significantly suppressed adhesion to and invasion of various peritoneal extracellular matrix constituents by murine and human ovarian cancer cell lines. Our findings suggest that SPARC ameliorates ovarian peritoneal carcinomatosis through abrogation of the initial steps of disease pathogenesis, namely tumor cell adhesion and invasion, inhibition of tumor cell proliferation, and induction of apoptosis. Thus, SPARC represents an important therapeutic candidate in ovarian cancer.

Lysosomal nitric oxide determines transition from autophagy to ferroptosis after exposure to plasma-activated Ringer's lactate.

Project description:Non-thermal plasma (NTP), an engineered technology to generate reactive species, induces ferroptosis and/or apoptosis specifically in various-type cancer cells. NTP-activated Ringer's lactate (PAL) is another modality for cancer therapy at preclinical stage. Here we found that PAL induces selective ferroptosis of malignant mesothelioma (MM) cells, where non-targeted metabolome screening identified upregulated citrulline-nitric oxide (.NO) cycle as a PAL target. .NO probe detected biphasic peaks transiently at PAL exposure with time-dependent increase, which was responsible for inducible . NO synthase (iNOS) overexpression through NF-κB activation. .NO and lipid peroxidation occupied lysosomes as a major compartment with increased TFEB expression. Not only ferrostatin-1 but inhibitors for . NO and/or iNOS could suppress this ferroptosis. PAL-induced ferroptosis accompanied autophagic process in the early phase, as demonstrated by an increase in essential amino acids, LC3B-II, p62 and LAMP1, transforming into the later phase with boosted lipid peroxidation. Therefore, .NO-mediated lysosomal impairment is central in PAL-induced ferroptosis.

Peritoneal Carcinomatosis of gastric cancer

Project description:Peritoneal carcinomatosis is a frequent finding in patients with primary gastric cancer, and it is associated with a poor prognosis. A major mechanism in peritoneal carcinomatosis is the dissemination of cancer cells into the abdominal cavity, mainly in diffuse gastric adenocarcinoma. The features that enable diffuse primary gastric tumours to develop peritoneal dissemination have been little investigated and are only incompletely understood. We therefore compared the gene expression profile in patients with diffuse primary gastric cancer with and without peritoneal carcinomatosis. Specimens from consecutive gastric cancer patients with and without peritoneal carcinomatosis were investigated using oligonucleotide microarrays. Keywords: Disease state analysis

Gastric adenocarcinoma peritoneal carcinomatosis: a narrative review.

Project description:Background and objectiveTo describe the diagnosis, workup, management, and areas of active research for peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) arising from gastric adenocarcinoma (GA). The peritoneum is a common site of metastasis and recurrence for GA. Unlike other cancers of the peritoneal surface, there are no approved locoregional techniques to address peritoneal disease in GA. PC has a unique natural history, therapeutic response, and outlook that sets it apart from solid organ metastases.MethodsA search of PubMed and Google Scholar databases was performed for the terms "Gastric Adenocarcinoma Peritoneal Carcinomatosis" for English articles published between 2000 and October, 2021. A narrative review was undertaken to summarize literature pertaining to current diagnosis and management strategy of PC from GA. Future directions of diagnosis and treatment were discussed, including intraperitoneal chemotherapy and molecular diagnosis.Key content and findingsIncidence of carcinomatosis varies between Asia and Western populations, driving important differences in therapeutic algorithms and clinical trial eligibility. Determination of the extent of PC is a diagnostic challenge, with surgical staging as the most important modality. Systemic chemotherapy is the standard of care for patients with carcinomatosis. Intraperitoneal chemotherapy holds promise for patients with PC, but techniques are still considered experimental due to the paucity of data demonstrating improved survival.ConclusionsPC from gastric cancer represents both a significant clinical challenge and an area of great therapeutic potential.

Hyaluronan-binding peptide for targeting peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Project description:Peritoneal carcinomatosis results from dissemination of solid tumors in the peritoneal cavity, and is a common site of metastasis in patients with carcinomas of gastrointestinal or gynecological origin. Peritoneal carcinomatosis treatment is challenging as poorly vascularized, disseminated peritoneal micro-tumors are shielded from systemic anticancer drugs and drive tumor regrowth. Here, we describe the identification and validation of a tumor homing peptide CKRDLSRRC (IP3), which upon intraperitoneal administration delivers payloads to peritoneal metastases. IP3 peptide was identified by in vivo phage display on a mouse model of peritoneal carcinomatosis of gastric origin (MKN-45P), using high-throughput sequencing of the peptide-encoding region of phage genome as a readout. The IP3 peptide contains a hyaluronan-binding motif, and fluorescein-labeled IP3 peptide bound to immobilized hyaluronan in vitro. After intraperitoneal administration in mice bearing peritoneal metastases of gastric and colon origin, IP3 peptide homed robustly to macrophage-rich regions in peritoneal tumors, including poorly vascularized micro-tumors. Finally, we show that IP3 functionalization conferred silver nanoparticles the ability to home to peritoneal tumors of gastric and colonic origin, suggesting that it could facilitate targeted delivery of nanoscale payloads to peritoneal tumors. Collectively, our study suggests that the IP3 peptide has potential applications for targeting drugs, nanoparticles, and imaging agents to peritoneal tumors.

Intraperitoneal Pretargeted Radioimmunotherapy for Colorectal Peritoneal Carcinomatosis.

Project description:Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) is considered incurable, and more effective therapies are needed. Herein we test the hypothesis that GPA33-directed intracompartmental pretargeted radioimmunotherapy (PRIT) can cure colorectal peritoneal carcinomatosis. Nude mice were implanted intraperitoneally with luciferase-transduced GPA33-expressing SW1222 cells for aggressive peritoneal carcinomatosis (e.g., resected tumor mass 0.369 ± 0.246 g; n = 17 on day 29). For GPA33-PRIT, we administered intraperitoneally a high-affinity anti-GPA33/anti-DOTA bispecific antibody (BsAb), followed by clearing agent (intravenous), and lutetium-177 (Lu-177) or yttrium-86 (Y-86) radiolabeled DOTA-radiohapten (intraperitoneal) for beta/gamma-emitter therapy and PET imaging, respectively. The DOTA-radiohaptens were prepared from S-2-(4-aminobenzyl)-1,4,7, 10-tetraazacyclododecane tetraacetic acid chelate (DOTA-Bn). Efficacy and toxicity of single- versus three-cycle therapy were evaluated in mice 26-27 days post-tumor implantation. Single-cycle treatment ([177Lu]LuDOTA-Bn 111 MBq; tumor dose: 4,992 cGy) significantly prolonged median survival (MS) approximately 2-fold to 84.5 days in comparison with controls (P = 0.007). With three-cycle therapy (once weekly, total 333 MBq; tumor dose: 14,975 cGy), 6/8 (75%) survived long-term (MS > 183 days). Furthermore, for these treated long-term survivors, 1 mouse was completely disease free (microscopic "cure") at necropsy; the others showed stabilized disease, which was detectable during PET-CT using [86Y]DOTA-Bn. Treatment controls had MS ranging from 42-52.5 days (P < 0.001) and 19/20 mice succumbed to progressive intraperitoneal disease by 69 days. Multi-cycle GPA33 DOTA-PRIT significantly prolongs survival with reversible myelosuppression and no chronic marrow (929 cGy to blood) or kidney (982 cGy) radiotoxicity, with therapeutic indices of 12 for blood and 12 for kidneys. MTD was not reached.
