Ligand-mediated approaches for the enhancement of nanocarrier targeting to tumor cells. - 310 p.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Case Western Reserve University, 2006.

Novel approaches to treat tumors are requisite for improvements in the length and quality of life in cancer patients. Utilization of long-circulating nanocarriers, such as liposomes, bearing ligands directed at over-expressed surface receptors is one technique to direct large payloads of therapeutic agent to tumor cells with enhanced selectivity. Despite enhanced uptake of therapeutic agents in tumor cells with ligand-targeted nanocarriers, the ability to control the extent of cellular effects such as uptake of the nanocarrier or therapeutic effect has not been demonstrated.

520 $a Novel approaches to treat tumors are requisite for improvements in the length and quality of life in cancer patients. Utilization of long-circulating nanocarriers, such as liposomes, bearing ligands directed at over-expressed surface receptors is one technique to direct large payloads of therapeutic agent to tumor cells with enhanced selectivity. Despite enhanced uptake of therapeutic agents in tumor cells with ligand-targeted nanocarriers, the ability to control the extent of cellular effects such as uptake of the nanocarrier or therapeutic effect has not been demonstrated.
520 $a The hypothesis motivating these studies was that the amount of a therapeutic agent (doxorubicin) delivered to cells and the response to the agent (cytotoxicity) could be controlled by modulation of the numbers and types of targeting ligands on the nanocarrier. Doxorubicin uptake and cytotoxicity were characterized and quantified for two different ligands---folic acid and a monoclonal antibody against the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR).
520 $a Targeting of liposomal nanocarriers with folic acid or the anti-EGFR antibody led to significantly increased doxorubicin uptake and cytotoxicity, relative to non-targeted nanocarriers, in cells bearing the targeted receptor. The amount of doxorubicin uptake was found to depend on the number of targeting ligands utilized.
520 $a After characterization of the two targeting ligands, nanocarriers simultaneously bearing both ligands were designed. Nanocarriers bore numbers of each ligand that alone were insufficient to elicit toxicity but when utilized together achieved a cytotoxic effect only in cells bearing both targeted receptors. The results of these dual ligand studies show that nanocarriers can be designed to bear appropriate numbers of targeting ligands for selectivity enhancement, thereby sparing cells not bearing both targeted receptors.
520 $a The results of these studies demonstrate the importance of controlling the numbers and types of targeting ligands. The results also suggest the necessity of optimizing combinations of ligands to enhance tumor selectivity. Increased understanding of the interplay between the number of targeting ligands and the available tumor cell surface receptors may ultimately allow for patient-specific targeting schemes based on the patient's tumor profile. In conjunction with other treatment modalities, properly designed targeted nanocarriers have the potential to aid in improved outcomes for cancer patients.
