Docetaxel-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles suppress breast cancer cells growth with reduced myelosuppression toxicity

ABSTRACT: Docetaxel is an adjuvant chemotherapy drug widely used to treat multiple solid tumors, however its toxicity and side-effect limits its clinical efficacy. Herein, the docetaxel-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (DSNs) were developed to reduce systemic toxicity while still keeping its anti-cancer activity. To evaluate its anti-cancer activity and toxicity and understand the molecular mechanisms of DSNs, different cellular, molecular and whole genome transcription analysis approaches were utilized. The DSNs showed lower cytotoxicity compared with the commercial formulation of docetaxel-Taxotere and induced more apoptosis at 24 h treatment in vitro. It can cause the treated cancer cells arrested at G2/M phase in a dose-depend manner as Taxotere. The DSNs can also suppress tumor growth very effectively in a murine breast cancer model. Systemic analysis of gene expression profiles by microarray and the following verification experiments suggested that both DSNs and Taxotere regulate expression of series genes and these genes functions involved in DNA replication, DNA damage response, cell proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle regulation. Some of these genes expressed differentially at protein level although their transcription level was similar under TAX and DSNs treatment. Moreover, DSNs improved main side-effect of Taxotere by greatly lowering myelosuppression toxicity to bone marrow cells from mice. Taken together, our results expound the anti-tumor efficacy and the potential working mechanisms of DSNs in its anti-cancer activity and toxicity, which provide a theoretical foundation to develop and apply more efficient docetaxel formulation to treat cancer patients.

Project description:The side population (SP), recently identified in several normal tissues and in a variety of tumors, may comprise cells endowed with stem cell features. In this study, we investigated the presence of SP in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and found it in 4 out of 6 primary cultures from xenotransplants, as well as in 9 out of 25 clinical samples analyzed. SP cells from one xenograft bearing a large SP fraction were characterized in detail and they were capable of recreate the full repertoire of cancer cell populations observed in the parent tumor. Moreover, SP cells had higher proliferation rates, were much less apoptotic compared to non-SP cells, and generated tumors more rapidly than non-SP cells. We also investigated the effects of interferon-alfa (IFN-alpha), a cytokine which has been widely used to treat solid tumors, on EOC cells and observed that IFN-alpha exerts marked anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects on primary cultures containing SP cells. IFN-alfa-treatment invariably caused a dramatic reduction in SP size in tumor cell lines of different origin and in normal bone-marrow SP cells, associated with a distinctive transcriptional profile. Gene therapy with human IFN-alpha resulted in regression of established tumors bearing a large SP fraction, which was not observed when tumors bearing low SP levels were treated. These findings could have relevant clinical implications since they imply that tumors bearing large SP numbers - albeit rare - could be sensitive to IFN-alpha treatment.

Project description:This is a Phase 1, open-label, multicenter study of continuous oral dosing of AZD4635 administered to patients with advanced solid malignancies. Dosing will be escalated until a maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) is determined in patients. The MTD will be defined by dose-limiting toxicity. The study design allows an escalation of dose with intensive safety monitoring to ensure the safety of the patients. Expansion cohorts will further assess safety and preliminary anti-tumor activity in a variety of advanced solid tumor malignancies. Other dosing schedules and/or combinations may be evaluated based on the emerging PK and safety data. The primary objectives of this study are to: * Investigate the safety and tolerability of AZD4635 monotherapy when given orally (PO) to patients with advanced solid malignancies. * Investigate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of AZD4635 monotherapy capsule formulation when given to patients with advanced solid malignancies. * Investigate the safety and tolerability of AZD4635 PO when given in combination with durvalumab, durvalumab plus oleclumab, or docetaxel to patients with advanced solid malignancies and to investigate the safety and tolerability of AZD4635 in combination with abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide in patients with mCRPC. * Define the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) of AZD4635 in combination with durvalumab. * Define the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of AZD4635 in combination with abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide. * Determine the safety, tolerability, and immune effects of AZD4635 when administered in combination with durvalumab to patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have previously received immunotherapy (Phase 1b portion). * Investigate the safety and tolerability of AZD4635 capsule formulation in combination with durvalumab and oleclumab when given to patients with mCRPC or advanced solid tumor malignancy. * Define the RP2D of AZD4635 capsule formulation in combination with durvalumab and oleclumab when given to patients with mCRPC or advanced solid tumor malignancy. * Investigate the safety and tolerability of AZD4635 capsule formulation in combination with docetaxel when given to patients with mCRPC or advanced solid tumor malignancy. * Define the RP2D of AZD4635 capsule formulation in combination with docetaxel when given to patients with mCRPC or advanced solid tumor malignancy.

Project description:The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) regulates gene expression throughout the human genome in a cell-type-specific manner, governing various aspects of homeostasis. The influence of this transcriptional regulator is seen in multiple pathologies, including cancer. Pharmacological activation of the GR is frequently used to alleviate side-effects caused by therapy for patients with various non-lymphoid solid (i.e. non-hematologic) cancers; however, prior studies have shown that this treatment might also have anti-proliferative action on cancer cells. Nonetheless, the molecular underpinnings of glucocorticoid action and its direct effectors in non-lymphoid solid cancers remain elusive. Here, we study the molecular mechanisms of glucocorticoid response in non-lymphoid solid cancers models, focusing on lung cancer. Activation of the GR induces reversible cancer cell dormancy in which cells are tolerant to large array of anti-cancer drugs. This state transition is accompanied by induction of growth factor survival signalling (IGF-1R) and acquired vulnerability to inhibitors of this pathway, both in vitro and in vivo. The observed phenotype is dependent on a single GR target gene - CDKN1C, which encodes for a cell cycle inhibitor protein p57. We have discovered an upstream distal enhancer of CDKN1C, which through GR-induced chromatin looping regulates the expression of this key gene, as confirmed in human tumour specimens. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the SWI/SNF complex composition fine-tunes the GR transcriptional activity at the CDKN1C locus, allowing for precise regulation of cell dormancy induction. Collectively, we show that SWI/SNF-facilitated regulation of CDKN1C underlines GR-induced reversible drug-tolerant state in cancer cells. These insights illustrate the importance of GR signalling in non-lymphoid solid cancer biology, particularly in lung cancer, and warrant caution for use of glucocorticoids in treatment of anti-cancer therapy related side-effects.
