▼ The ingestion, uptake, and metabolism of liposomes by juvenile Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) were studied by several methods in an effort to assess their potential as encapsulating agents. Liposomes composed of egg phosphatidylcholine-cholesterol-stearylamine (7:1:2) formed readily and appeared stable in 20°/oo seawater. Radiotracer studies with liposomes made with ¹⁴C-labeled cholesterol or phosphatidylcholine showed uptake of up to 40% of the dose in 24 hrs, with the majority of uptake occurring in the visceral mass. Only slight amounts of label were observed in adductor muscle or mantle tissue. Absence of label in free fatty acids in oysters fed liposomes made with di[l-¹⁴C] palmitoyl phosphatidylcholine indicated a lack of significant amounts of fatty acid hydrolysis from phospholipid in the stomach or lumen of the digestive diverticula. However, radioactivity was observed in lipid other than phosphatidylcholine, including triglyceride, phosphatidylethanolamine, and an unidentified polar lipid. Radioactivity in these lipids resided exclusively in the fatty acids, indicating breakdown of the ¹⁴C-phosphatidylcholine via acyl transfer. To examine metabolism of liposome-encapsulated substances, [1-¹⁴C]glucose and [U-¹⁴C]amino acids were entrapped and fed to oysters. Label from glucose appeared largely in a choloroform-methanol-insoluble fraction, with little radioactivity recovered in the lipid or soluble aqueous fractions. Most label from amino acids was recovered in trichloroacetic acid-precipitable protein. Control oysters given the same amounts of non-encapsulated [1-¹⁴C] glucose or [U-¹⁴C]amino acids as in liposome trials showed (1) the same uptake of label from free amino acids in comparison with encapsulated glucose, and (2) increased uptake of free, amino acids in comparison with encapsulated amino acids. Label from free glucose or amino acids entered the same fractions as encapsulated label. Evidence for intracellular uptake of liposomes was obtained with fluorescence microscopy after feeding oysters with liposomes containing bovine serum albumin conjugated with fluorescein isothiocyante (FITC). The appearance of small fluorescent inclusions within the apical portions of many of the ducts and tubules of the digestive diverticula suggest phagocytosis of intact liposomes. Uptake was not observed in other parts of the alimentary canal. The feeding of liposomes in which the stearylamine had been conjugated with FITC resulted in generalized fluorescence in most of the digestive diverticula and stomach epithelium, perhaps due to extracellular hydrolysis of FITC and its subsequent diffusion into epithelial cells. No fluorescence occurred in tissues other than those of the digestive tract. Autoradiography studies with liposomes containing di[l-¹⁴C]palmitoyl phosphatidylcholine showed radioactivity dispersed throughout the epithelial cells of the ducts and tubules of the digestive diverticula. Only slight radioactivity was observed in the intertubular connective… Advisors/Committee Members: Selivonchick, D. P. (advisor).

▼ Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are cyclooxygenase (an enzyme that is involved in the metabolism of arachidonic acid into prostaglandins) inhibitors, and therefore, they inhibit the onset of inflammation. In ophthalmology, they are mainly used as eyedrops for topical administration, for therapy of inflammation, such as post-operative macular edema, without always providing the desired efficacy. Their intravitreal use has been tested in recent years for the cystic edema related with various types of macular degeneration, such as postoperative, diabetic, uveitis, with interesting results. Intravitreal (IVT) administration is known to provide significantly higher drug levels in the retina (compared to topical or systemic administration), while minimizing systemic adverse effects. The main drawback of these drugs is their short half-life in the vitreous cavity, which requires frequent injections to achieve the therapeutic effect. In order to develop a system for prolonged release of NSAIDs from the posterior segment of the eye, an in-situ liposome aggregation system (liposomal platform), was developed. For initial proof of the concept the fluorescent molecules of calcein and FITC-Dextran were used as model-drugs, after being encapsulate in liposomes. The system was studied in vitro and in vivo studies in order to confirm its functionality of. Subsequently, lornoxicam and flurbiprofen (FLB) liposomes were then prepared using a variety of liposome preparation techniques and optimized with the aim to achieve highest encapsulation efficiency and lowest particle size, in order to select the best drug to continue studies with. Actively loaded FLB Liposomes (with lipid composition of HPC/DPPG/Chol (9/1/10 mol: mol)), had the highest encapsulation yield and were thus selected. In vitro physicochemical characterization and drug release kinetics were subsequently evaluated. FLB solution, and plain liposomes were used as reference formulations.A second sustained release system was also developed; a thermosensitive hydrogel based on Pluronic F127 polymer, which incorporated FLB or FLB liposomes. In vitro release studies were conducted in order to investigate the optimal polymer concentration that would yield the slowest release rate. FL solution, plain liposomes and simple hydrogel were used as reference formulations. The optimal Pluronic F127 concentration was 18% w/v.In vitro studies of both hybrid liposomal systems, the liposomal platform and the liposomal hydrogel, confirmed that they should provide significant prolongation of the retention of the drug in the eye, in relation to the reference formulations. The liposomal platform released 20% of entrapped drug after 24 hours, while the liposomal hydrogel released 30% at the same time period. Both systems released measurable amounts of FLB for up to 120 h. Conclusively, two novel hybridic liposomal systems have that succeed to significantly extend the residence time of flurbiprofen (in vitro) and are suitable for intraocular administration, have been…

▼ Since most of currently available cancer chemotherapeutics often come with severe side effects caused by high toxicity to healthy cells and tissues, it is important to design a novel platform to deliver drugs specifically to the target tissue. In order to minimize these side effects, a number of nanoparticle-based therapeutic, including liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, micelles, dendrimers, and metallic nanoparticles, has been developed in the last few decades. Consequently, application of these nanotechnologies in the medical field has enhanced the therapeutic activity and reduced the toxic side effects of cancer drugs. In this study, G2 PAMAM dendrimer conjugates (G2-RITC-NH2) were encapsulated into liposomes consisting of DMPC, DSPE-PEG-2000, and cholesterol using a lipid film hydration method. Three different liposomal formulations were prepared by varying the cholesterol content at 25, 50, and 75 mol%. The liposomes were then investigated in terms of (i) release kinetics of G2-RITC-NH2 from each liposome, (ii) cellular uptake kinetics, (iii) endocytosis mechanisms, and (iv) cytotoxicity. The release profiles of G2-RITC-NH2 from each liposome revealed that the stability of the liposomes is highly dependent on the cholesterol level in the lipid bilayer. Microscope observations and flow cytometry measurements also showed the different internalization kinetics of the three liposomal formulations from that of unencapsulated G2-RITC-NH2. In order to further investigate the endocytosis mechanisms of these materials, MCF-7 cells were pre-treated with 5 mM MβCD before being incubated with unencapsulated G2-RITC-NH2 and the liposomal formulations up to 24 h. The results obtained from the flow cytometry analysis indicated that G2-RITC-NH2 internalizes into the cells by a different mechanism compared to the liposomes. Finally, cytotoxicity of G2-RITC-NH2 and the three liposomal formulations was investigated, which showed no significant inhibition of cell proliferation up to 10 µM normalized based on the G2-RITC-NH2 concentration, indicating that the materials could be used as a drug delivery platform. In summary, the in vitro characterization experiments conducted in this study serve as a critical starting point to engineer effective drug delivery systems that combine the advantages of dendrimers and liposomes.

Liposomes are self-assembled lipid vesicles made from phospholipids that are safe and suitable for drug encapsulation and localized drug delivery. Liposomal formulations are characterized by low toxicity and improved therapeutic index (by changing drug biodistribution) and liposomes encapsulating antifungal or anticancer drugs have already been approvedby regulatory agencies.One area of application for liposomes is localized antibiotic delivery. Antibiotics target bacteria, but specific types of infections(namely biofilms or intracellular infections)that required high or prolonged antibiotic administration have long been a challenge for antibiotic treatments. Liposomal delivery of antibiotics can improve their therapeutic index while minimizing their adverse effects. When it comes to methods of antibiotic encapsulation, however,most reports to date follow the methods developed for anticancer drugs for encapsulating antibiotics. This oversight causes discrepancies in the literature, mainly because of the significantly different chemical structures of antibiotics and cancer drugs. Furthermore, most antibiotics are highly sensitive to temperature fluctuations, which is concerning, given most liposomal preparation methods involve extreme temperature fluctuations. The aim of my thesis was to explore these missing links in the literature by answering these questions: (1) will liposome preparation method affect encapsulation efficiency of antibiotics?And (2) does liposomal preparation method adversely affect the efficacy of antibiotics?Investigating these questions led to further insight into the optimal process for achieving high encapsulation efficiencies for different antibiotics and for further avoiding damage due to harsh processing conditions. We found that different preparation methods are better for different types of antibiotics, being the one that promotes a large aqueous space better for hydrophilic drugs and the one that creates oligolamellar and large unilamellar vesicles better for more hydrophobic drugs. The steps in liposome preparation methods such as heating and sonication can affect the stability of the antibiotics.

Thesis

Master of Applied Science (MASc)

When antibiotics are administered, orally or intravenously, they should pass through different tissues to arrive to the site of infection; this can cause dilution and/or intoxication. To overcome these problems, drug delivery vehicles have been used to encapsulate and deliver antibiotics, improving their therapeutic index while minimizing their adverse effects. Liposomes are vesicles composed of at least one lipid bilayer, with an inner aqueous compartment. Liposomes are an attractive vehicle to deliver antibiotics because they can encapsulate both hydrophobic and hydrophilic antibiotics, they have low toxicity, and they can change the bio-distribution of the drug. In mythesis, I addressedtwo main questions regarding liposomal antibiotic encapsulation:(1) will liposome preparation method affect encapsulation efficiency of antibiotics, and(2)…

▼ While aerobic respiration is typically invoked as the dominant mass-balance sink for organic matter in the upper ocean, many other biological and abiotic processes can degrade particulate and dissolved substrates on globally significant scales. The relative strengths of these other remineralization processes — including mechanical mechanisms such as dissolution and disaggregation of sinking particles, and abiotic processes such as photooxidation — remain poorly constrained. In this thesis, I examine the biogeochemical significance of various alternative pathways of organic matter remineralization using a combination of field experiments, modeling approaches, geochemical analyses, and a new, high-throughput lipidomics method for identification of lipid biomarkers. I first assess the relative importance of particleattached microbial respiration compared to other processes that can degrade sinking marine particles. A hybrid methodological approach — comparison of substrate-specific respiration rates from across the North Atlantic basin with Monte Carlo-style sensitivity analyses of a simple mechanistic model — suggested sinking particle material was transferred to the water column by various biological and mechanical processes nearly 3.5 times as fast as it was directly respired, questioning the conventional assumption that direct respiration dominates remineralization. I next present and demonstrate a new lipidomics method and open-source software package for discovery and identification of molecular biomarkers for organic matter degradation in large, high-mass-accuracy HPLC-ESI-MS datasets. I use the software to unambiguously identify more than 1,100 unique lipids, oxidized lipids, and oxylipins in data from cultures of the marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum that were subjected to oxidative stress. Finally, I present the results of photooxidation experiments conducted with liposomes — nonliving aggregations of lipids — in natural waters of the Southern Ocean. A broadband polychromatic apparent quantum yield (AQY) is applied to estimate rates of lipid photooxidation in surface waters of the West Antarctic Peninsula, which receive seasonally elevated doses of ultraviolet radiation as a consequence of anthropogenic ozone depletion in the stratosphere. The mean daily rate of lipid photooxidation (50 ± 11 pmol IP-DAG L−1 d−1, equivalent to 31 ± 7 𝜇g C m−3 d−1) represented between 2 and 8 % of the total bacterial production observed in surface waters immediately following the retreat of the sea ice.

▼ Conventional chemotherapy agents can kill tumor cells and inhibit tumor growth, but they produce severe side effects on normal cells at the same time. To shift the balance towards tumoral effects, it would be desirable to direct the anti-cancer drug towards tumor while restricting drug access to normal tissues. The main objective of this thesis was to develop tumor targeted drug delivery system that can take on this task and as a result, improve the specificity and anticancer activity of the incorporated anticancer drugs towards tumor. To this end, lipid and block copolymer based nano-delivery systems of two conventional anti-cancer agents doxorubicin (DOX) and paclitaxel (PTX) are developed, respectively, and modified on their surface with a 12mer breast tumor interacting peptide, namely p160, or its engineered derivatives developed in our research team. The effect of peptide decoration on the specific interaction as well as anti-cancer activity of developed nano-formulations against human breast tumor cells over normal epithelial breast cells or endothelial cells was characterized, in vitro. In this study, micelles of poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(-caprolactone) were prepared and modified with either c(RGDfK) or p160 and loaded with paclitaxel (PTX). Peptide decoration enhanced the selective cytotoxicity of encapsulated PTX against cancer cells over normal cells. The extent of this increase in cancer cell specificity for encapsulated PTX was more for p160-modified micelles. At the end, the anti-cancer activity of liposomal formulations of DOX, having different density of an engineered breast tumor targeting peptide, namely p-18-4, was assessed in vitro for cellular uptake and selective cytotoxicity, and in vivo using animal model of human breast tumor xenograft and compared to that for liposomal formulations of DOX with no peptide decoration. Liposomal DOX formulations bearing low p18-4 density showed better in vitro selective cytotoxicity and in vivo therapeutic efficacy. Our results points to the potential of p160 and its engineered derivatives as efficient ligands on lipid and block copolymer based nanocarriers for active targeting of anticancer agents to breast tumors. The results also show the success of this strategy in enhancing the specific anti-cancer effects of the incorporated drug against breast tumor models.

▼ Magnetoliposomes can provide platforms for simultaneously carrying therapeutics and diagnostics. The controlled optical properties of the magnetic nanoparticles combined with the versatility of liposomes as carriers can potentially enhance the efficacy of treatment for selective drug delivery by means of an external magnetically guided deposition and prolonged targeting by receptor-mediated activation (e.g., pegylation and surface modification: ligands and antibodies). Due to their optical properties, magnetic nanoparticles can serve as MRI contrast agents allowing their in vivo monitoring and distribution of the pharmaceuticals in a non-invasive way.The aim of this work was initially the formulation of magnetoliposomes, their physicochemical characterization and the impact of various factors on their physicochemical properties and stability.For the preparation of the MLs the initial target was the entrapment of the maximum concentration of USPIOs in small unilamellar vesicles, while retaining their size (<200nm) in order to exploit the effect of enhanced permeability and retention (EPR effect) presented by cancer cells. The DRV method (extruded), provided MLs with greater entrapment at the desired size. The addition of cholesterol to the ML had no significant effect on encapsulation, which applied also to the addition of negative charge (PG lipid), while addition of lipid PEG and higher initial ratios USPIOs / lipid increased the entrapment. Encapsulation of the USPIOs into liposomes led in a sharp increase of the magnetic response while higher Fe/Lipid ratio increased it even further. The same applied when 4mol% lipid-PEG was added or MLs size was increased, whereas addition of cholesterol reduced the response to the external magnetic field. USPIOs encapsulation also increased their ability as contrast agents, regardless lipid composition, addition of lipid PEG did not bring about any drastic change, while higher Fe/Lipid ratio led to an increase. MLs were stable long enough for use in in vivo applications and exhibited almost no cytotoxicity. Finally MLs were studied in vitro for their ability to cross the where it was found that in the presence of magnetic field, permeation increases up to 10 times, revealing the possibility offered by MLs to deliver drugs to the brain utilizing magnetic targeting.Next aim of this work was the formation of t-MLs for targeting the BBB. MLs decorated with either OX-26 antibody (targeting of the transferrin receptor) or the ApoE peptide (lipoprotein receptor targeting) or both were prepared and their effect on the physicochemical properties of MLs was studied. Decoration with one ligand had no significant effect on the entrapment or MLs’ size whilst a combination of 2 or 3 ligands lead to a slight decrease in the entrapment. Addition of an antibody on the MLs surface caused a slight reduction of the magnetophoretic ability of the MLs while this was the case also for their contrast agent ability. t-MLs were found to be stable for time sufficient enough for their administration and…

Μελέτες έχουν δείξει ότι το νευροστεροειδές διυδροεπιανδροστερόνη (DHEA) προστατεύουν τους νευρώνες από ανοξία και απόπτωση. Έχει επίσης αποδειχθεί ότι το DHEA ενισχύει την κινητική δραστηριότητα πιθήκων με τη νόσο του Parkinson, ενώ επίσης σε συνδυασμό με την αλλοπρεγνανολόνη προκαλεί δημιουργία νευρώνων σε αρκετά πειραματικά μοντέλα. Τα λιποσώματα είναι σφαιρικά σωματίδια αποτελούμενα από ενυδατωμένες διπλοστοιβάδες φωσφολιπιδίων οι οποίες σχηματίζονται αυθόρμητα κατά τη διασπορά λιπιδίων στο νερό, εγκλωβίζοντας υδατικό διάλυμα στο εσωτερικό τους. Οι κυκλοδεξτρίνες είναι ολιγοσακχαρίτες με ειδική δομή κώνου, που έχουν υδρόφιλη πολική επιφάνεια και μη πολική εσωτερική κοιλότητα, έχουν τη δυνατότητα να ενσωματώνουν λιπόφιλα φάρμακα στην εσωτερική τους κοιλότητα (με τη δημιουργία συμπλόκων) και να αυξάνουν την υδατική διαλυτότητά τους. Στην παρούσα μελέτη χρησιμοποιήθηκαν τρία παράγωγα του νευροστεροειδούς DHEA, που έχουν τροποποιηθεί στις θέσεις C3 και C17 με σκοπό να βελτιώσουν την αντιαποπτωτική και νευροπροστατευτική δράση τους, καθώς και την αναστολή της μετατροπής τους σε ανδρογόνα και οιστρογόνα. Τα παράγωγα αυτά είναι εξαιρετικά λιπόφιλα και έχουν μικρό μοριακό βάρος και πολύ χαμηλή διαλυτότητα, γεγονός που καθιστά αδύνατη την χορήγησή τους. Για να αντιμετωπιστεί το πρόβλημα της χαμηλής διαλυτότητας, δοκιμάστηκαν δύο μέθοδοι: (1) H παρασκευή σύμπλοκων με υδροξυ-προπυλ-β-κυκλοδεξτρίνη (HP-beta-CD), και (2) Η ενσωμάτωσν των νευροστεροειδών στη λιπιδική μεμβράνη μικρών μονοστoιβαδιακών λιποσωμάτων (SUV) διαφόρων λιπιδικών συστάσεων. Μετά από τροποποίηση μιας ειδικής τεχνικής μέτρησης των στεροειδών, υπολογίστηκαν οι συγκετρώσεις που ενσωματώθηκαν στα λιποσώματα, καθώς και στα σύμπλοκα με τη κυκλοδεξτρίνη. Οι λιποσωμικές μορφές των παραγώγων δεν είχαν την αναμενόμενη ικανότητα ενσωμάτωσης τους, με αποτέλεσμα η συγκέντρωση των λιποσωμικών διαπορών να μην είναι αρκετά υψηλή για in vivo χορήγηση. Αντίθετα η HP-β-CD έδωσε σύμπλοκα που αύξησαν την υδατική διαλυτότητα των παραγώγων θεαματικά.Τα σύμπλοκα χαρακτηρίστηκαν με διάφορες τεχνικές, για να πιστωποιηθεί ο σχηματισμός τους. Με σκοπό να παρασκευαστούν μορφές με δυνατότητα ελεγχόμενης αποδέσμευσης των στεροειδών, μελετήθηκε στο επόμενο στάδιο της διατριβής, η ανάπτυξη υβριδικών μορφών που περιλαμβάνουν τον συνδυασμό συμπλόκων κυκλοδεξτρίνης και λιποσωμάτων, δηλαδή: λιποσώματα που στην εσωτερική τους κοιλότητα εγκλωβίζουν τα υδατοδιαλυτά σύμπλοκα των παραγώγων με κυκλοδεξτρίνες. Τα υβριδικά αυτά συστήματα είχαν αυξημένη ενσωμάτωση των νευροστεροειδών σε σύγκριση με τα συμβατικά λιποσώματα και κατάλληλα χαρακτηριστικά για in vivo χορήγηση.

▼ The high gene knockdown specificity and efficiency of RNA interference (RNAi) provides a potentially viable avenue for the development of a new class of nucleic acid therapeutics for gene-based disease conditions. However, serum instability, inefficient cellular trafficking and non-specific effects of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), one of the functional mediators of RNAi, has necessitated the development of carriers to facilitate targeted cell delivery. The decline of viral vectors in human gene therapy as a consequence of safety issues has intensified the importance of non-viral vector development. Among the non-viral vectors available for siRNA delivery, cationic liposomes have emerged as an attractive option owing to their simplicity, versatility, relatively low toxicity and potential for cell-specific targeting. Although existing cationic lipids and liposomes traditionally used for DNA delivery have also been used for siRNAs, there still exists a need to develop cationic lipids tailored towards siRNA transfection for improved gene silencing efficiency. Among the cell specific targets available for RNAi therapeutics, hepatocytes expressing the asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGP-R) are an ideal choice due to the large number of disease targets present for treatment. In this investigation four novel cationic liposome formulations were prepared from equi-molar quantities of either the cationic cholesterol derivative 3β [N-(N’,N’- dimethylaminopropane)-carbamoyl] cholesterol (Chol-T) or 3β [N-(N’, N’, N’- trimethylammoniumpropyl)-carbamoyl] cholesterol iodide (Chol-Q) and DOPE, with and without the hepatotropic ligand, cholesteryl-β-D-galactopyranoside. Electrophoretic gel analysis and SYBR®green displacement assays were employed to determine siRNA binding and condensation efficiencies for all cationic liposomes; while liposome and lipoplex size measurements were made by cryoTEM. SiRNAlipoplex stability in serum was determined by the nuclease protection assay. Cell studies performed on the ASGP-R+ human hepatoma cells, HepG2 and the ASGP-Rembryonic kidney cells, HEK293, to determine lipoplex toxicity and transfection efficiencies were also undertaken. We show that the cationic liposomes formulated for this investigation were able to bind synthetic siRNA optimally at a positive to negative charge ratio of ± 1 : 6. In addition, the cationic liposomes were able to afford siRNA duplexes substantial protection from ribonuclease digestion in serum. From the results obtained in this study, it appears that the cationic liposomes are well tolerated by both the HEK293 and HepG2 cells in vitro. More importantly, the results obtained demonstrated higher transfection efficiencies for the targeted lipoplexes compared with the untargeted controls, strongly supporting the notion that incorporation of the cholestryl-β-D-galactopyranoside into the liposome structure increases transfection efficiency to the targeted HepG2 cells in culture via ASGP receptor mediation. Comparative studies in the… Advisors/Committee Members: Singh, Moganavelli (advisor), Ariatti, Mario (advisor).

▼ Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) is the most common adult leukemia and is not curable with standard therapy. In CLL the B lymphocytes appear morphologically mature but immunologically express less mature B cell makers. Specifically, the CLL B cells co-express surface antigens including CD19, CD20, CD5, CD23. Due to nonspecific delivery of chemotherapeutics to malignant as well as normal cells, patients experience numerous side effects. Targeted drug delivery to cancer cells is a desirable goal for all anti cancer strategies. Corticosteroids are beneficial and well established part of CLL treatment. Dexamethasone(DEX) is frequently used in CLL therapies as well as other malignancies and antiinflammatory diseases. However, DEX non specifically enters all tissues inducing various toxicities to patients. Therefore, DEX treatment is often discontinued or not administered to certain patients. We aimed to deliver this efficient clinical agent via a targeted delivery vehicle and examine its effect on its target B-CLL cells. The main scope of the work presented is the creation of a sterically stable nanoparticle, an immunoliposome that has DEX encapsulated in its interior and anti-CD74 monoclonal antibody(Mab) in its exterior, targeting CLL B cells expressing the surface antigen that is recognized by the Mab. CD74 liposome without drug was shown to be cytotoxic in vitro in cell lines and B CLL cells and to mimic cytotoxicity of anti-CD74 in vivo. CD74 liposome showed high binding to malignant cells expressing the antigen and induction of leukemic cell apoptosis.Furthermore,a methodology was developed to quantitate DEX in vitro and in vivo using Liquid Chromatography tandem Mass Spectometry( LC/MS-MS). The method was adjusted to measure encapsulated DEX in plasma and was applied in a pilot pharmacokinetic study in mice.The liposomal DEX targeted with anti- CD74 was evaluated in vitro in cell lines and primary CLL B cells and showed potent cytotoxicity. Immunoliposome efficacy was subsequently, tested in vivo in a mouse model of lymphoid disease and showed to significantly increase survival of diseased mice compared to controls.Overall, the studies showed therapeutic effect of CD74 DEX Liposome and advantage of encapsulating the drug into immunoliposome. Additionally, we obtained in vivo evidence demonstrating that nontargeted DEX Liposome was protective against non desirable effects of free dexamethasone.The work presented provides evidence that DEX immunoliposomes can have therapeutic effect in B cell malignancies with the possibility to be applied in other disease in which corticosteroids are administered.

▼ Treatment options for patients with cancers such as breast carcinoma and melanoma are poor with early detection as the best therapy. For patients with advanced stage disease, treatments are limited and outcomes poor. Development of therapies that target key pathways are needed such as targeting the PI3k/Akt and Map kinase pathways. It was found that targeting these pathways in combination, with sorafenib and nanoliposomal ceramide, results in greater melanoma and breast tumor inhibition than targeting only one pathway. In vivo, a ~30% increase in tumor inhibition compared to sorafenib treatment alone and a ~58% reduction in tumor size compared to nanoliposomal ceramide monotherapy occurred by doubling apoptosis rates with negligible systemic toxicity. This was followed by utilization of an siRNA-based approach to further evaluate the potential of targeting these pathways in combination. siRNA-based therapies have great potential for use in combination therapies but appropriate targets and effective delivery systems are required. B-Raf is mutated in ~60% of melanomas leading to constitutive activation of the Map kinase pathway making it an attractive target for siRNA therapy. Therefore, a novel liposome formulation was designed that efficiently loaded and delivered mutant V600EB-Raf siRNA to melanoma cells. Systemic administration of siMutB-Raf-liposomal complexes led to a ~ 25% reduction in tumor growth in a mouse xenograft model of melanoma. Additionally, localized topical administration of siMutB-Raf-liposomal complex in conjunction with ultrasound treatment resulted in tumor reduction in both a three-dimensional skin model and in mice with melanoma xenografts. Furthermore, adding siRNA to Akt3 in a liposomal formulation to the topically applied siMutB-Raf-liposomal complex doubled tumor inhibition to 60%. These studies demonstrate the potential utility of targeting multiple cancer pathways both by pharmacological means and via siRNA. Designing a novel liposome formulation to encapsulate siRNAs advanced the use of siRNA as a therapeutic in melanoma. Furthermore, this liposomal siRNA complex can be modified in the future to improve the results seen here. These studies demonstrate the use of siMutB-Raf-liposomal complexes alone or in combination with siAkt3-liposomal complexes in the treatment of melanoma. Additionally the use of siRNA as a topical agent was advanced by using ultrasound to transiently permeabilize the skin followed by addition of siRNA liposomal complexes. Thus, targeting the PI3k/Akt pathway in conjunction with the Map kinase pathway is potentially useful for targeting melanoma and breast cancer.

▼ Over the last few decades, liposomes have generated a lot of interest as drug delivery vehicles to address the need for providing both increased therapeutic efficacy and decreased systemic exposure, simultaneously. The challenge of increasing drug accumulation at diseased sites, without compromising the integrity and stability of the liposomal carrier during circulation, has been met with two possible solutions: (1) active targeting and (2) active triggering. To achieve selective and site-specific delivery of drugs to tumors, active triggering methods have been developed wherein a responsive element is incorporated into the liposomal bilayer, which causes destabilization of the liposome upon exposure to the proper stimulus. Endogenous stimuli can offer high specificities and sensitivities, if appropriate trigger groups exist so as to take full advantage of diseased site characteristics. The research described herein involved the synthesis of redox-active, quinone-lipid conjugates that were prepared into liposomes for the containment and subsequent triggered release of encapsulated cargo. Development of said system required (1) the synthesis and then characterization of various simple quinones and quinone propionic acids by cyclic voltammetry and X-ray crystallography and (2) the preparation of substituted quinone dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine lipids into liposomes and evaluation of their triggered release behaviors by fluorescence emission spectrometry. Elucidation of the electrochemical properties of simple quinones and quinone propionic acids revealed a correlation between quinone substitution and reduction potential, meaning that the electronics of the quinone trigger can be adjusted through their chemical structure. X-ray crystallography showed a highly distorted quinone ring proximal to the trimethyl-locked propionic acid side chain. Upon introduction of a chemical reducing agent, the four different substituted quinone-dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine liposomes each displayed distinctive release behaviors, as indicated by the time-dependent increase in fluorescence signal as encapsulated calcein was released below its self-quenching concentration. The individual release profiles demonstrate the influence of quinone substitution on the triggered response of these redox-active liposomes; thus, realizing the programmed delivery of liposomal contents through active triggering. The information learned from this research project provides a solid foundation for exploring the triggered release of these redox-active liposomes by NAD(P)H:quinone acceptor oxidoreductase type 1, an over-expressed reductase enzyme in numerous cancer cell lines.

▼ Development and application of a microfluidic system for generating drug delivery carriers are investigated in this research. Various types of microfluidic devices are designed and fabricated for peptide nanotubes, liposome vesicles and double emulsions formation. The microfluidic system offers a better control over the formation process of all three drug delivery carriers. Comparing to traditional methods such as bulk mixing, the process efficiency, size and size distribution of the final products are significantly improved. The results generated show that tuning the flow rate ratios between different reagents from the inlet streams successfully controls the sizes and size distributions of liposomes vesicles. The relationship between the flow rate ratio and the size of the resulting vesicles is established. Macrocycle (AP-169) that was found to self-assemble into an anti-parallel β-sheet nanotube with a triggering agent is successfully synthesized and purified for peptide nanotube self-assembling process. A microfluidic device is designed and fabricated to control the interaction between AP-169 and its self-assembling triggering agent, dimethyl sulfoxide. Double emulsions with different radii are produced with the microfluidic system by adjusting the flow rate ratio between each phase of the solution, and changing the wetting properties of the microchannels. The stability of double emulsions is enhanced by introducing various surfactants. The sizes and size distributions of liposomes and double emulsions have been successfully controlled and optimized for drug delivery. In conclusion, various drug delivery carriers have been successfully generated and optimized with a designed and modified microfluidic system. These products can be further applied in drug encapsulation, biomolecular screening and in vitro compartmentalization in the future.

▼ Asthma is a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) which affects 1 in every 12 Americans. Symptoms common to asthmatics include dyspnea, increased mucous production and airway hyperresponsiveness. While research over the past few decades has mostly established the immunological basis behind asthma, there have not been radical changes in the treatment modalities. It is believed that in many COPDs, alveolar macrophages play a critical role in disease progression. While evolutionarily, alveolar macrophages played a significant part in protecting the individual from harmful allergens, in asthma there may be an inappropriate activation of the alveolar macrophages to proteases such as cockroach allergen (CRA). Studies show that children living in inner cities with cockroach infestation are more likely to develop asthma than those that reside in rural areas with less exposure to cockroach allergens. In exposed individuals, when the alveolar macrophages come in contact with CRA, an immune cascade is initiated which sensitizes the child. Subsequent exposure to such an antigen will induce asthma like symptoms. One possible way of reducing such a response is to reduce the number of alveolar macrophages thus avoiding the pathalogical effects. Clodronate liposomes are liposomes that are encapsulated with bisphosphonate clodronate. When a macrophage phagocytoses such a liposome, the result is cellular suicide or apoptosis. In this study, we sensitized a murine model of CRA asthma and then monitored the impact of depleted alveolar macrophages using intratracheal administration of clodronate liposomes. We then studied the effect of this depletion on the recruitment of inflammatory cells such as neutrophils and eosinophils which are primary cellular contributors to the asthmatic response. Our studies show that while clodronate liposomes are effective in alveolar macrophage depletion, the subsequent inflammation through neutrophil recruitment interferes with the study of the delicate milieu of cells in the respiratory epithelium of this murine model.

▼ Mitochondrial research has made tremendous strides since the 1980/90s when mitochondrial DNA mutations were first identified as a primary cause for human diseases and the organelle’s role in apoptosis was elucidated. These mutations of the mitochondrial genome have been implicated in a spectrum of clinical disorders especially involving the muscle and central nervous system. This makes the mitochondrion a prime candidate for organelle-specific delivery of exogenous materials such as therapeutic DNA and drugs, for therapy of diseases caused by mitochondrial dysfunction. However, reports of mitochondrial targeted delivery systems are limited. Hence vector design and development is of paramount importance. The success of liposomes viz. cationic liposomes, in chromosomal gene therapy make them potential vectors for mitochondrial gene targeting. In this investigation novel ‘mitochondriotropic’ liposomes were synthesised to evaluate their cellular uptake and mitochondrial localisation activity in vitro using four different mammalian cell culture models. Cationic cholesterol derivative, 3β [N-(N’,N’-dimethylaminopropane)-carbamoyl] cholesterol (CHOL-T) was formulated with dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE) to produce cationic liposomes, to which a mitochondrial targeting sequence (MTS) and octaarginine (R8) peptides were attached via two different novel cholesterol-derived cross-linking agents. Size, zeta potential, shape and lamellarity of liposomes and corresponding lipoplexes were assessed by the innovative technique, Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) and cryogenic transmission electron microscopy. Their ability to bind, condense and protect plasmid DNA (pCMV-luc), was determined using the band shift, dye displacement and nuclease protection assays repectively. In vitro cytotoxicity and mechanism of cell death prompted by these novel liposomal preparations was determined using the MTT, AlamarBlue® and acridine orange and ethidium bromide (AO/EB) dual staining assays respectively, in the hepatocyte-derived human cell line (HepG2), human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293), the human intestinal cell line (Caco-2) and human cervical carcinoma (HeLa-Tat luc) cells. Fluorescently labelled DNA was used to determine cellular uptake and mitochondrial targeting and localisation ability of these cationic mitochondriotropic liposomal formulations in the target organelles, mitochondria using fluorescence microscopy and the quantitative evaluation of fluorescence in the mitochondrial fraction of cell homogenate cocktails. These mitochondriotropic liposomes successfully bind, condense and protect plasmid DNA in the presence of serum, are fairly well tolerated by all cell lines tested in culture with cell death observed to be apoptotic and not necrotic in nature. The liposomes were shown to successfully enhance cellular uptake in all cell culture models tested. Furthermore, results demonstrate positive mitochondrial targeting and localisation activity facilitated by the presence of MTS peptide and a combination of MTS and R8… Advisors/Committee Members: Ariatti, Mario.

▼ Acyclovir is a synthetic purine nucleoside analogue with in vitro and in vivo inhibitory activity against herpes simplex virus types 1 (HSV-1), 2 (HSV-2), and varicella-zoster virus (VZV). The efficacy of oral acyclovir is limited as a result of its low bioavailability (15-30%) as it is poorly water soluble and therefore requires a frequent dosing regimen. When orally administered, peak plasma concentration occurs after 1.5–2.5 hours, while its elimination half-life is approximately 2-3 hours. Acyclovir displays poor solubility in water and in lipid bilayers, which leads to poor drug levels at target sites after oral, local, or parenteral administration. In order to improve this lack of solubility, novel amphiphilic derivatives have been designed to form nanoparticles, which allow for the efficient encapsulation of this hydrophobic antiviral agent. Reformulation of drugs in liposomes has provided an opportunity to enhance the therapeutic indices of various agents mainly via alteration of their bio-distribution. Liposomal drug delivery systems have received considerable attention due to their immense advantages which include, effective encapsulation of both small and large molecules that have a wide range of hydrophobicity levels and pKa values, prolonging and targeting release of therapeutic agents by modification of liposomal surface and also minimising clinical drug dose thus reducing toxicity effects. Liposomes exhibit a number of special biological characteristics, including specific interactions with biological membranes and various cells, hence, liposomes are used as biocompatible carriers to improve delivery properties across mucus membranes. Mucoadhesive dosage forms may be designed to enable prolonged retention at the site of application, providing a controlled rate of drug release for improved therapeutic outcome. The aim of this study was to develop an acyclovir liposomal mucoadhesive film by actively encapsulating acyclovir into liposomes and preparing a mucoadhesive film to optimise delivery of acyclovir liposomes at target sites. To actively encapsulate acyclovir and prepare the acyclovir-containing liposomes, a comprehensive statistical methodology was used in optimising the liposome formulation to encapsulate acyclovir. Central composite design was used as the response surface methodology statistical tool to design and develop an optimised method for active encapsulation of acyclovir into liposomes. The predicted optimised encapsulation parameters were incubation temperature of 60 °C and incubation time of 45 minutes. The mean percentage encapsulation calculated was 27.72%. The overall average size of the liposomes was 99.5 nm with a narrow distribution polydispersity index of 0.105 and were physically characterised as small unilamellar vesicles which possessed an average zeta potential of -45.6 mV. High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) was used to analyse and determine acyclovir drug content in the liposomes and drug release pattern from the mucoadhesive film.

In 2015, it was estimated that approximately 1.7 million women were diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States alone. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. One in eight women in their lifetime will have to endure the tribulations of discovering that they have breast cancer and all that comes in hopes of beating the disease. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a subgroup of breast cancer associated with a poor prognosis and a higher chance of cancer metastasis outside the breast. TNBC is defined as being negative in gene expression for estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and lacking gene expression of HER2/neu. Current methods for targeting TNBC tumors remain in investigative stages due to the difficulty in discovering an appropriate and direct method of targeting. To enable selective and effective treatment of TNBC solid tumors, we study a drug delivery carrier of cisplatin (CDDP) - a clinically accepted major line of therapy for TNBC - that is designed to ultimately result in (a) deep penetration and homogeneous distribution of the drug within tumors and (b) enhanced ii uptake by the cancer cells that constitute these tumors. Towards these aims, we engineered a carrier that is a tunable (pH-sensitive) liposome encapsulating cisplatin. These liposomes are designed to form lipid-phase separated domains at acidic pH. Domain formation is tuned to trigger content release, and the change is pH is used to increase the adsorptive/adhesive property of these liposomes. Improved tumor penetration of delivered cisplatin is expected to be achieved by triggered release of cisplatin directly within the tumor interstitial region from extravasated liposomes. Further increase in intracellularly delivered cisplatin (due to more favorable retention of liposomes by solid tumors in vivo) is expected to be achieved by liposomes that are functionalized with an adhesive switch on their surface with the aim to slow their clearance from the tumor.
