Project description:Oral rapamycin administration rapamycin is plagued by poor bioavailability and wide biodistribution. Thus, this pleotropic mTOR inhibitor has a narrow therapeutic window, numerous side effects and provides inadequate transplantation protection. Parental formulation was not possible due to rapamycin’s hydrophobicity (log P 4.3). Here, we demonstrate that subcutaneous rapamycin delivery via poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(propylene sulfide)(PEG-b-PPS) polymersome (PS) nanocarriers modulates cellular biodistribution of rapamycin to change its immunosuppressive mechanism for enhanced efficacy while minimizing side effects. While oral rapamycin inhibits naïve T cell proliferation directly, subcutaneously administered rapamycin-loaded polymersomes (rPS) instead modulated Ly-6Clow monocytes and tolerogenic semi-mature dendritic cells, with immunosuppression mediated by CD8+ Tregs and rare CD4+ CD8+ double-positive T cells. As PEG-b-PPS PS are uniquely non-inflammatory, background immunostimulation from the vehicle was avoided, allowing immunomodulation to be primarily attributed to rapamycin’s cellular biodistribution. Repurposing mTOR inhibition significantly improved maintenance of normoglycemia in a clinically relevant, MHC-mismatched, allogeneic, intraportal (liver) islet transplantation model. These results demonstrate the ability of engineered nanocarriers to repurpose drugs for alternate routes of administration by rationally controlling cellular biodistribution.

Project description:Standard oral rapamycin (that is, Rapamune) administration is plagued by poor bioavailability and broad biodistribution. Thus, this pleotropic mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor has a narrow therapeutic window and numerous side effects and provides inadequate protection to transplanted cells and tissues. Furthermore, the hydrophobicity of rapamycin limits its use in parenteral formulations. Here, we demonstrate that subcutaneous delivery via poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(propylene sulfide) polymersome nanocarriers significantly alters rapamycin's cellular biodistribution to repurpose its mechanism of action for tolerance, instead of immunosuppression, and minimize side effects. While oral rapamycin inhibits T cell proliferation directly, subcutaneously administered rapamycin-loaded polymersomes modulate antigen presenting cells in lieu of T cells, significantly improving maintenance of normoglycemia in a clinically relevant, major histocompatibility complex-mismatched, allogeneic, intraportal (liver) islet transplantation model. These results demonstrate the ability of a rationally designed nanocarrier to re-engineer the immunosuppressive mechanism of a drug by controlling cellular biodistribution.

Project description:ObjectiveThis study examined the feasibility and safety of allogeneic uterus transplantation (UTx) from a living donor and assessed short-term graft viability in a rhesus model. This research is an important step towards further clinical application of UTx in humans.Materials and methodsFour female rhesus monkeys with regular menstrual cycles were used in this study, the animals were either donors or recipients depending on ABO blood type compatibility. Retrieval surgery was performed to connect the uterus and uterine arteries together with the ovarian uterine vein from the living donor, and the vagina of the recipient was excised. After the back table had been prepared, bilateral uterine arteries were anastomosed end-to-side with the iliac externa arteries, and bilateral ovarian uterine veins were anastomosed end-to-side with the iliac externa vena. The transplanted uterus was evaluated based on the conditions of arterial blood, and flow was evaluated by transabdominal ultrasonography one month post operation. The conditions of the transplanted uterus were examined by secondary laparotomy. The reproductive function of rhesus monkeys was evaluated on the basis of the menstrual cycle.ResultsAll 4 rhesus monkeys received the transplantation surgery without any surgical complications. No injury occurred in the other organs, and no vascular injury was observed in the allogeneic uterus. All recipients survived after the surgery with a 100% short-term survival rate. All recipients resumed normal menstruation within two months after surgery.ConclusionsOur short follow-up shows that allogeneic UTx surgery is a safe and feasible technology in the rhesus model. The arterial conditions and blood flow of the grafted uterus can be monitored by ultrasonography examination.

Project description:Rapamycin is a naturally occurring macrolide whose target is at the core of nutrient and stress regulation in a wide range of species. Despite well-established roles as an inhibitor of cap-dependent mRNA translation, relatively little is known about its effects on other modes of RNA processing. Here, we characterize the landscape of rapamycin-induced post-transcriptional gene regulation. Transcriptome analysis of rapamycin-treated cells revealed genome-wide changes in alternative mRNA splicing and pronounced changes in NMD-sensitive isoforms. We demonstrate that despite well-documented attenuation of cap-dependent mRNA translation, rapamycin can augment NMD of certain transcripts. Rapamycin-treatment significantly reduces the levels of both endogenous and exogenous PTC-containing mRNA isoforms and its effects are dose-, UPF1- and 4EBP-dependent manner. The PTC-containing SRSF6 transcript exhibits a shorter half-life upon rapamycin-treatment as compared to the non-PTC isoform. Rapamycin-treatment also caused depletion of PTC-containing mRNA isoforms from polyribosomes, underscoring the functional relationship between translation and NMD. Enhanced NMD activity also correlates with an enrichment of the nuclear Cap Binding Complex (CBC) in rapamycin-treated cells. Our data demonstrate that rapamycin modulates global RNA homeostasis by NMD.

Project description:T-47 cells were treated with rapamycin, 3-methyladenine (3MA)-rapamycin and vehicle (DMSO, control) in a time series manner (1, 8, 24 and 48h), Affymetrix Genechip U133 Plus 2.0 array were used to compare the gene expression patterns of rapamycin-treated, 3MA-rapamycin treated versus control cells. All experiments were carried out in triplicates and a total of 24 chips were used. 3MA-Rapamycin treated samples were only limited to 24 h as total RNA for 48h was degraded.

Project description:mTOR inhibitor rapamycin is a well-known anticancer and immunosuppressant agent. Effects of rapamycin on zebrafish cells have not been previously studied using transcriptome analyses. Our microarray analysis on ZF4 cells showed that rapamycin treatment modulated a large set of genes with varying functions including protein synthesis, assembly of mitochondrial and proteosomal machinery, cell cycle, metabolism, and oxidative phosphorylation.
