项目摘要

ABSTRACT Neuroendocrine (NE) cancers such as carcinoids, pancreatic islet cell tumors, and medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) frequently metastasize to the liver. Despite various complex management strategies for NE liver metastases, surgery is the only treatment that offers potential for cure. There is a critical need to develop new therapeutic options to reduce NE cancer progression and excessive hormone secretion. Recently, we have developed a new monoclonal antibody (mAb) that selectively targets the NE cancers’ epitope - somatostatin receptor 2 (SSRT2), generated mAb tagged exosomes (mAb-Exo) as a delivery vehicle, and identified in the high-throughput screening a natural compound originating from marine sponges (Verrucarin A, VC-A) capable of inhibiting NE cancer cell proliferation and altering malignant phenotype. The preliminary studies using NE cancer cell lines and human xenografts indicated that our anti-SSTR2 mAb can effectively and specifically bind to NE cancer and the conjugation of SSTR2 mAb with the drug delivery vehicle – exosomes, did not change the targeting efficacy. Moreover, we have shown that VC-A is capable to induce the apoptotic response in NE cancer cells in low nanomolar concentrations. To achieve high therapeutic efficacy, we propose to further investigate the antitumor properties of VC-A, delineate the mechanisms of prosurvival pathways inhibition, and formulate the drug in exosomes which are equipped with our anti-SSTR2 mAb. Such anti-SSTR2 mAb-Exo-VC-A therapeutic can selectively deliver the lethal agent to NE tumor cells and minimize side effects to patients. Both the in vitro NE cancer cell lines and the in vivo preclinical mouse model of NE tumor liver metastases will be used to evaluate the biodistribution, tolerated doses, pharmacokinetics, and antitumor efficacy of the targeting delivered VC-A. If the anticancer efficacy will be confirmed in the preclinical model, this will be the first exosomes- facilitated targeted therapy for NE cancers.

抽象的神经内分泌（NE）癌症，例如类癌，胰岛细胞肿瘤和髓质甲状腺癌（MTC）经常向肝脏转移。尽管针对NE肝脏采取了各种复杂的管理策略转移，手术是唯一具有治愈潜力的治疗方法。迫切需要开发新的减少NE癌症进展和过量骑马分泌的治疗选择。最近，我们有开发了一种新的单克隆抗体（MAB），该抗体有选择地靶向NE癌症的表位-SmatoSatotatin 接收器2（SSRT2），生成的mab标记外泌体（mab-exo）作为送货车，并在高通量筛选自然化合物，该化合物源自船用海绵（Verrucarin A，VC-A）抑制NE癌细胞增殖和改变恶性表型的方法。使用NE的初步研究癌细胞系和人异种移植物表明我们的抗SSTR2 mAb可以有效，特异性地结合与NE癌症以及SSTR2 MAB与药物输送型的结合 - 外泌体，没有改变定位效率。此外，我们已经证明VC-A能够诱导NE癌症的凋亡反应低纳摩尔浓度的细胞。为了实现高治疗效率，我们建议进一步研究 VC-A的抗肿瘤特性，描绘了抑制Proservival途径的机制，并进行了配方配备我们抗SSTR2 mAb的外泌体中的药物。这样的抗SSTR2 mAb-exo-vc-a 治疗性可以选择性地将致死剂传递给NE肿瘤细胞，并最大程度地减少患者的副作用。两个都体外NE癌细胞系和NE肿瘤肝转移的体内临床前小鼠模型将是用于评估靶向的生物分布，耐受剂量，药代动力学和抗肿瘤效率交付的VC-A。如果在临床前模型中确认抗癌效率，这将是第一个外泌体 - 促进NE癌的靶向疗法。
