Liposomal Formulation of a Melphalan Lipophilic Prodrug: Studies of Acute Toxicity, Tolerability, and Antitumor Efficacy. Curr Drug Deliv 2021; 17:312-323. [PMID: 32056524 DOI: 10.2174/1567201817666200214105357] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2019] [Revised: 12/13/2019] [Accepted: 02/02/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently we developed a scalable scheme of synthesis of melphalan ester conjugate with 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycerol (MlphDG) and a protocol for the fabrication of its lyophilized liposomal formulation. OBJECTIVE Herein we compared this new convenient in use formulation of MlphDG with parent drug Alkeran® in rats concerning several toxicological parameters and evaluated its antitumor efficacy in the model of breast cancer in mice. METHOD Liposomes of approximately 100 nm in diameter, consisting of egg phosphatidylcholine, soybean phosphatidylinositol, and MlphDG, or placebo liposomes without the drug were produced by extrusion and lyophilized. Alkeran® or liposomes recovered by the addition of water were injected into the tail vein of animals. Clinical examination of rats consisted of detailed inspection of the behavior, general status, and hematological parameters. Mice with transplanted breast cancer WNT-1 were subjected to multiple treatments with the drugs; tumor growth inhibition was assessed, together with cellular immunity parameters. RESULTS Liposomes showed approximately two times lower acute toxicity and better tolerability than Alkeran® in terms of behavioral criteria. The toxic effects of liposomes on hemopoiesis were manifested at higher doses than in the case of Alkeran®, proportionally to the difference in LD50 values. The formulation inhibited tumor growth significantly more effectively than Alkeran®, delaying the start of the exponential growth phase and exhibiting no additional toxic effects toward bone marrow. CONCLUSION Lower toxicity of the liposomal formulation of MlphDG promises improved quality of life for cancer patients in need of treatment with melphalan. Presumably, the list of indications for melphalan therapy could be extended.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable neoplastic hematologic disorder characterized by malignant plasma cells, mainly in the bone marrow. MM is associated with multiple factors, such as lipid metabolism, obesity, and age-associated disease development. Although, the precise pathogenetic mechanisms remain unknown, abnormal lipid and lipoprotein levels have been reported in patients with MM. Interestingly, patients with higher APOA1 levels, the major apolipoprotein of high density lipoprotein (HDL), have better overall survival. The limited existing studies regarding serum lipoproteins in MM are inconclusive, and often contradictory. Nevertheless, it appears that deregulation of the lipoprotein transport system may facilitate the development of the disease. Here, we provide a critical review of the literature on the role of lipids and lipoproteins in MM pathophysiology. We also propose novel mechanisms, linking the development and progression of MM to the metabolism of blood lipoproteins. We anticipate that proteomic and lipidomic analyses of serum lipoproteins along with analyses of their functionality may improve our understanding and shed light on novel mechanistic aspects of MM pathophysiology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Silicate bioactive glass (BG) has been widely demonstrated to stimulate both of the hard and soft tissue regeneration, in which ion products released from BG play important roles. However, the mechanism by which ion products act on cells on cells is unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS Human umbilical vein endothelial cells and human bone marrow stromal cells were used in this study. Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching and generalized polarization was used to characterize changes in cell membrane fluidity. Migration, differentiation and apoptosis experiments were carried out. RNA and protein chip were detected. The signal cascade is simulated to evaluate the effect of increased cell membrane fluidity on signal transduction. RESULTS We have demonstrated that ion products released from BG could effectively enhance cell membrane fluidity in a direct and physical way, and Si ions may play a major role. Bioactivities of BG ion products on cells, such as migration and differentiation, were regulated by membrane fluidity. Furthermore, we have proved that BG ion products could promote apoptosis of injured cells based on our conclusion that BG ion products increased membrane fluidity. CONCLUSIONS This study proved that BG ion products could develop its bioactivity on cells by directly enhancing cell membrane fluidity and subsequently affected cell behaviours, which may provide an explanation for the general bioactivities of silicate material.

Abstract
The pathogenesis and progression of many tumors, including hematologic malignancies is highly dependent on enhanced lipogenesis. De novo fatty-acid synthesis permits accelerated proliferation of tumor cells by providing membrane components but these may also alter physicochemical properties of lipid bilayers, which can impact signaling or even increase drug resistance in cancer cells. Cancer type-specific lipid profiles would permit us to monitor and interpret actual effects of lipid changes, potential fingerprints of individual tumors to be explored as diagnostic markers. We have used the shotgun MS approach to identify lipid patterns in different types of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients that either show no karyotype change or belong to t(8;21) or inv16 types. Differences in lipidomes of t(8;21) and inv(16) patients, as compared to AML patients without karyotype change, presented mostly as substantial modulation of ceramide/sphingolipid synthesis. Furthermore, between the t(8;21) and all other patients we observed significant changes in physicochemical membrane properties. These were related to a marked alteration in lipid saturation levels. The discovered differences in lipid profiles of various AML types improve our understanding of the pathobiochemical pathways involved and may serve in the development of diagnostic tools.

The anticancer gene ORCTL3 targets stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 for tumour-specific apoptosis. Oncogene 2015; 34:1718-28.

Abstract
ORCTL3 is a member of a group of genes, the so-called anticancer genes, that cause tumour-specific cell death. We show that this activity is triggered in isogenic renal cells upon their transformation independently of the cells' proliferation status. For its cell death effect ORCTL3 targets the enzyme stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 (SCD1) in fatty acid metabolism. This is caused by transmembrane domains 3 and 4, which are more efficacious in vitro than a low molecular weight drug against SCD1, and critically depend on their expression level. SCD1 is found upregulated upon renal cell transformation indicating that its activity, while not impacting proliferation, represents a critical bottleneck for tumourigenesis. An adenovirus expressing ORCTL3 leads to growth inhibition of renal tumours in vivo and to substantial destruction of patients' kidney tumour cells ex vivo. Our results indicate fatty acid metabolism as a target for tumour-specific apoptosis in renal tumours and suggest ORCTL3 as a means to accomplish this.

Abstract
Hybrid liposomes are nanosized liposomal particles and can be prepared by sonication of vesicular and micellar molecules in a buffer solution. In this study, we obtained the first successful experiment resulting in a good correlation between inhibitory effects of hybrid liposomes on the growth of various tumor cells and the membrane fluidity of tumor cells (plasma membranes). The results indicated that hybrid liposomes could provide the possibility of novel membrane-targeted nanotherapy for intractable cancers.
