Aptamer-Drug Conjugates-loaded Bacteria for Pancreatic Cancer Synergistic Therapy

ABSTRACT: Pancreatic cancer is one of the most malignant tumors with the highest mortality rates, and it currently lacks effective drugs. Aptamer-drug conjugates (ApDC), as a form of nucleic acid drug, show great potential in cancer therapy. However, the instability of nucleic acid-based drugs in vivo and the avascularity of pancreatic cancer with dense stroma have limited their application. Fortunately, VNP20009, a genetically modified strain of Salmonella typhimurium, which has a preference for anaerobic environments, but is toxic and lacks specificity, can potentially serve as a delivery vehicle for ApDC. Here, we propose an approach to synergistic therapy that utilizes the penetrative capability of bacteria and the targeting and toxic effects of ApDC by conjugating ApDC to VNP20009 via straightforward, one-step click chemistry. With this strategy, bacteria specifically target pancreatic cancer through anaerobic chemotaxis and subsequently adhere to tumor cells driven by the aptamer's specific binding. Results indicate that this method prolongs the serum stability of ApDC up to 48 hours and resulted in increased drug concentration at tumor sites compared to the free drugs group. Moreover, the aptamer's targeted binding to cancer cells tripled bacterial colonization at the tumor site, leading to increased death of tumor cells and T cell infiltration. Notably, by integrating chemotherapy and immunotherapy, the effectiveness of the treatment is significantly enhanced, showing consistent results across various animal models. Overall, this strategy takes advantage of bacteria and ApDC and thus presents an effective synergistic strategy for pancreatic cancer treatment.

Mirabegron displays anticancer effects by globally browning adipose tissues

Project description:<p>Metabolic reprogramming in malignant cells is a hallmark of cancer that relies on augmented glycolytic metabolism to support their growth, invasion and metastasis. However, the impact of global adipose metabolism on tumor growth and the drug development by targeting adipose metabolism remain largely unexplored. Here we show that a therapeutic paradigm of drugs is effective for treating various cancer types by browning adipose tissues. Mirabegron, a clinically available drug for overactive bladders, displays potent anticancer effects in various animal cancer models, including untreatable cancers such as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and hepatocellular carcinoma, via the browning of adipose tissues. Genetic deletion of the uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1), a key thermogenic protein in adipose tissues, ablates the anticancer effect. Similarly, the removal of brown adipose tissue (BAT), which is responsible for non-shivering thermogenesis, attenuates the anticancer activity of mirabegron. These findings demonstrate that mirabegron represents a paradigm of anticancer drugs with a distinct mechanism for the effective treatment of multiple cancers.</p>

Discovery of a drug targeting microenvironmental support for lymphoma cells by screening using patient-derived xenograft cells

Project description:Cell lines have been used for drug discovery as useful models of cancers; however, they do not recapitulate cancers faithfully, especially in the points of rapid growth rate and microenvironment independency. Consequently, the majority of conventional anti-cancer drugs are less sensitive to slow growing cells and do not target microenvironmental support, although most primary cancer cells grow slower than cell lines and depend on microenvironmental support. Here, we developed a novel high throughput drug screening system using patient-derived xenograft (PDX) cells of lymphoma that maintained primary cancer cell phenotype more than cell lines. The library containing 2613 known pharmacologically active substance and off-patent drugs were screened by this system. We could find many compounds showing higher cytotoxicity than conventional anti-tumor drugs. Especially, pyruvinium pamoate showed the highest activity, and its strong anti-tumor effect was confirmed also in vivo. We extensively investigated its mechanism of action and found that it inhibited glutathione supply from stromal cells to lymphoma cells, implying the importance of the stromal protection from ox 1 idative stress for lymphoma cell survival and a new therapeutic strategy for lymphoma. Our system introduces a primary cancer cell phenotype into cell-based phenotype screening and sheds new light on anti-cancer drug development. Global gene expression profiles of PDX cells showed high similarity to those of original primary cells. The correlation coefficient of gene expression profiles between PDX cells and the originalprimary cells was 0.814-0.890.

miR-27b synergizes with anticancer drugs

Project description:Drug resistance, caused by complex and redundant mechanisms, is a major obstacle in cancer treatment, especially in liver and kidney cancers. Combinational therapy of miRNAs, which concurrently target multiple pathways, with anticancer drugs represent a new strategy to improve the drug response. By a systems approach, we identified that miR-27b, a miRNA deleted in liver and kidney cancers, sensitizes cancer cells to a broad spectrum of anticancer drugs in vitro and in vivo. Two samples transfected with nontarget miRNA control or miR-27b mimics followed by 48 hours doxorubicin treatment

Functional metabolic molecule were identified as novel therapeutic targets to facilitate gemcitabine treatment against pancreatic cancer (Tumor tissues metabolomics)

Project description:With the development of frontier technologies in system biology, traditional omics-drove phenotypic studies are insufficient to decipher the diseases. Therefore, for a thorough understanding of the molecular mechanisms of diseases to investigate novel drug targets, traditional phenotypic studies must be broken through to the functional exploration of molecules. Meanwhile, the intuitive role of small molecule compounds (metabolites) in pathogenesis, precision diagnosis and therapy are gradually recognized compared to macromolecules such as DNA, RNA and proteins. Therefore, we pioneeringly proposed Spatial Temporal Operative Real Metabolomics (STORM) strategy that established a relationship between metabolic phenotypes and functions to accurately character abnormal metabolisms and further identify operative functional molecules as novel therapeutic targets. Here, given the difficulty of pancreatic cancer (PC) treatment and the high resistance of clinical drugs, we were committed to explore new targets and drugs of pancreatic cancer from a small molecular functional perspective via STORM strategy. Fortunately, based on targeted metabolomics, we found that gemcitabine, one of the most effective clinical anti-PC drugs, served as a dual modulator that promote the accumulation of functional metabolic molecules in purine metabolism to activate down-streamed kinases. And the quantitative consequences of related enzymes annotated the unique molecular mechanisms of purine metabolism regulations by gemcitabine. Collectively, we broadened the cognitions of gemcitabine in tumor inhibition, providing potential strategies for treating PC with small molecules modification. Even more importantly, with the integration of multiple frontier technologies, the STORM strategy has proven to be well adapted to the phenotypic era of functional molecules devoted to innovate molecule mechanism annotation and therapeutic discovery.

PI3K/AKT/mTOR and Sonic hedgehog pathways cooperate together to inhibit human pancreatic cancer stem cell characteristics and tumor growth

Project description:Cancer stem cells (CSCs) play major roles in cancer initiation, progression, and metastasis. It is evident from growing reports that PI3K/Akt/mTOR and Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) signaling pathway are aberrantly reactivated in pancreatic CSCs. Here, we examined the efficacy of combining NVP-LDE-225 (PI3K/mTOR inhibitor) and NVP-BEZ-235 (Smoothened inhibitor) on pancreatic CSCs characteristics, microRNA regulatory network, and tumor growth. NVP-LDE-225 cooperated with NVP-BEZ-235 in inhibiting pancreatic CSC’s characteristics and tumor growth in NOD/SCID IL2R null mice by acting at the level of Gli. Combination of NVP-LDE-225 and NVP-BEZ-235 inhibited self-renewal capacity of CSCs by suppressing the expression of pluripotency maintaining factors Nanog, Oct-4, Sox-2 and cMyc. NVP-LDE-225 cooperated with NVP-BEZ-235 to inhibit Lin28/Let7a/Kras axis in pancreatic CSCs. Furthermore, synergistic interaction of these drugs was observed on spheroid formation by pancreatic CSCs isolated from Pankras/p53 mice. The combination of these drugs also showed synergistic effects on the expression of proteins involved in cell survival and apoptosis. In addition, synergistic effects of these drugs were observed on inhibition of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) through modulation of cadherin, vimentin and transcription factors Snail, Slug and Zeb1. In conclusion, these data suggest that the combined inhibition of PI3K/Akt/mTOR and Shh pathways may be an effective strategy for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.
