Receptor-Specific Targeting with Liposomes <Emphasis Type="BoldItalic">In Vitro</Emphasis> Based on Sterol-PEG<Subscript>1300</Subscript> Anchors

Purpose  The challenge in developing liposomes to be used in active drug targeting is to design a method that can be used for modifying liposomal membranes that is applicable for a number of different specific ligands. In this study, the post insertion technique was used with activated sterol-PEG₁₃₀₀ anchors and was evaluated with regard to its effectiveness in active targeting in vitro. The key advantage of these anchors is that the insertion step into the liposomal membrane takes place at room temperature and is very fast. Materials and Methods  For in vitro experiments, neuroblastoma cell lines overexpressing GD2 antigen on their surface as a target structure were chosen. This allowed the use of anti-GD2 antibodies coupled to the liposomal surface for testing of specific binding. These modified liposomes were labelled with rhodamine-PE and their cellular association was analyzed by flow cytometry. Results  It was shown that the activated sterol-PEG₁₃₀₀ anchors allow specific and significant interactions of the modified liposomes with GD2 positive cells. Conclusion  Coupling using sterol-PEG₁₃₀₀ anchors is both simple and rapid. It is reproducible and applicable for all ligands bearing amino groups. This method demonstrates the advantage of a ready-to-use system for the modification of pre-formed liposomes with different ligands. M. Gantert and F. Lewrick contributed equally to this publication.

Characterization of novel mixed polyethyleneglycol modified liposomes

In our previous paper, mixed polyetheleneglycol (PEG) modification of liposomes by a mixture of 1-monomethoxypolyethyleneglycol-2,3-distearoylglycerol (PEG-DSG) with short polyoxyethylene chain and PEG-DSG with long one was shown to increase fixed aqueous layer thickness (FALT) around the liposomal membrane, and this was useful in vivo. In this study, we investigated the characterization of mixed PEG modification of liposomes with different anchors (PEG2000-DSG and PEG2000-cholesterol (CHO)). When the liposomes was modified by a mixture of PEG2000-DSG and PEG2000-CHO, FALT was increased compared to that of each single PEG-lipids modification and the most suitable mix modification (PEG2000-DSG:PEG2000-CHO = 3:1) showed a maximum FALT. This phenomenon was speculated to be based on the difference in the insertion state of the PEG anchor unit in the liposomal membrane. PEG-CHO-modified liposomes (single or mixed PEG-modified liposomes) were easily incorporated into the liposomal membranes compared with that of single PEG-DSG-modified liposomes. Namely, it was considered that the cholesterol anchor as a single chain was able to be easily introduced, compared with the DSG anchor as two chains, and induced some interaction with both PEG modification. In conclusion, it is expected that novel PEG-modified liposomes with PEG2000-DSG and PEG2000-CHO (3:1) had superior physicochemical properties.     

Lectin-bearing Polymerized Liposomes as Potential Oral Vaccine Carriers

Purpose. The potential of using lectin-modified polymerized liposomes as Peyer's patch targeted oral delivery vehicles was examined. Methods. Two types of lectins, Ulex Europaeus Agglutinin I (UEA I) and Wheat Germ Agglutinin (WGA), were modified with a hydrophobic anchor N-glutaryl-phosphotidylethanolamine (NGPE). The modified lectins were incorporated into liposome bilayers and the liposomes were subsequently stabilized through polymerization. The presence of the lectins on the liposome surfaces was first confirmed with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Surface-immobilized lectins were then shown to retain their carbohydrate binding activities as well as specificities based on an in vitro aggregation assay. Finally, delivery efficiencies of lectin-bearing liposomes were determined in mice. Results. About 10.5% UEA I liposomes and 5.8% WGA liposomes were taken up from the gastrointestinal tract. These numbers are significantly higher than the 3.2% observed in the case of lectin-free liposomes. At the same time, UEA I liposomes exhibited the most effective Peyer's patch targeting among the three, which directly correlated with the highest delivery efficiency observed. Conclusions. This establishes that lectin modification of liposomes can promote binding to Peyer's patches, which will give improved efficiency for Peyer's patch targeted delivery. All these point to the potential for these lectin-modified liposomes as novel vehicles for oral vaccination.     

PEGylated VRB plus quinacrine cationic liposomes for treating non-small cell lung cancer

Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common form of lung cancer, and the treatment effects are usually unsatisfactory. Vinorelbine (VRB) is extensively used in cancer treatment, but it has some disadvantages when used alone. PEGylated liposomes have been extensively used as a delivery carrier for antitumor drugs via prolonging the circulation time in the blood.

Purpose: The nanostructured liposomes were designed and prepared for treating NSCLC.

Methods: In the liposomes, PEG was modified on the liposomal surface, DC-Chol was used as cationic materials, and VRB plus quinacrine were encapsulated in an aqueous core of the liposomes as an antitumor drug and an apoptosis-inducing agent, respectively. Evaluations were performed on A549 cells, tubular network formations and xenografts of the A549 cells.

Results: The PEGylated drugs-loaded cationic liposomes could significantly enhance cellular uptake and selectively accumulate in A549 cells, thus leading to show strongest antitumor efficacy to tumor cells and to tumor-bearing mice. Action mechanisms showed that the enhanced efficacy in treating NSCLC was related to activate caspase 9 and caspase 3, to activate Bax and P53, and to suppress Bcl-2 and Mcl-1.

Conclusion: The PEGylated VRB plus quinacrine cationic liposomes showed a potential strategy for treating NSCLC.

Polysaccharide-modified liposomes and their application in cancer research

Nanodrug delivery systems have been widely used in cancer treatment. Among these, liposomal drug carriers have gained considerable attention due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and low toxicity. However, conventional liposomes have several shortcomings, such as poor stability, rapid clearance, aggregation, fusion, degradation, hydrolysis, and oxidation of phospholipids. Polysaccharides are natural polymers of biological origin that exhibit structural stability, excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, flexibility, non-immunogenicity, low toxicity, and targetability. Therefore, they represent a promising class of polymers for the modification of the surface properties of liposomes to overcome their shortcomings. In addition, polysaccharides can be readily combined with other materials to develop new composite materials. Hence, they represent the optimal choice for liposomal modification to improve pharmacokinetics and clinical utility. Polysaccharide-coated liposomes exhibit better stability, drug release kinetics, and cellular uptake than conventional liposomes. The oncologic application of polysaccharide-coated liposomes has become a research hotspot. We summarize the preparation, physicochemical properties, and antineoplastic effects of polysaccharide-coated liposomes to facilitate antitumor drug development.     

Improved antitumor efficacy and reduced toxicity of liposomes containing bufadienolides

Long-circulating liposomes are used extensively nowadays for enhancing the therapeutic effect and reducing the toxicity of anticancer drugs. In this paper, a traditional Chinese medicine, toad venom, which has long been used in the clinic for tumor therapy with unpleasant side effects, was incorporated into poloxamer modified liposomes to increase its antitumor effect and reduce its toxicity. Our preparation of bufadienolides liposomes had a particle size of around 70 nm and an entrapment efficiency of about 87.6%. Lyophilized liposomes well retained their appearance, particle size and encapsulation efficiency for 3 months. The in vitro release results verified the sustained release properties of the bufadienolides liposomes. The concentration of bufadienolides in modified liposomes that caused 50% cell killing was much lower than that of free drug for both Lovo cells and NCI-H157 cells. Compared to the bufadienolides solution and the unmodified liposomes, the bufadienolides liposomes significantly prolonged the retention time and increased the area under the curve in vivo. The antitumor efficiency of the bufadienolides liposomes against mice bearing H22 liver cancer cells and Lewis pulmonary cancer cells were 2.15 and 2.96, respectively, times that of a bufadienolides solution at the same toxicity. The safety test results demonstrated that the bufadienolides liposomes had an LD₅₀ that was 3.5 times the LD₅₀ of bufadienolides solution and caused no allergen-related or blood vessel irritation effects. All these results proved that poloxamer modified bufadienolides liposomes have improved antitumor efficacy and safety.     

In vitro and in vivo evaluation of WGA-carbopol modified liposomes as carriers for oral peptide delivery

Surface modification of liposomal nanocarriers with a novel polymer-lectin conjugate was proposed for enhancing the systemic uptake of encapsulated peptide and protein therapeutics after oral administration. Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) was covalently attached to carbopol (CP) using the carbodiimide method. The prepared WGA-CP conjugate retained the biological cell binding activity of WGA without any evidence of cytotoxicity to Caco-2 monolayers. Cationic liposomes in the size range of 100 nm were prepared by the lipid film hydration method followed by probe sonication and surface modification with negatively charged WGA-CP. The uptake of WGA-CP liposomes by Caco-2 cells was significantly higher than that of non-modified or CP liposomes. The uptake was dependent on the surface concentration of WGA, temperature, and incubation period and was significantly inhibited in the presence of chlorpromazine and 10-fold excess of free WGA. These results suggest the involvement of active transport mechanism for the cellular uptake of the modified liposomes, mediated mainly by binding of WGA to its specific cell membrane receptors. Dual channel confocal microscopy confirmed the simultaneous association and internalization of the polymer conjugate and the liposomal carrier by Caco-2 cells and intestinal membrane of rats. In addition, the pharmacological efficacy of calcitonin, a model peptide drug, was enhanced by more than 20- and 3-fold following peroral administration of calcitonin-loaded WGA-CP liposomes when compared to non-modified and CP liposomes, respectively.
