项目摘要

Project Summary Allergic diseases are IgE-dependent, mast cell-mediated conditions that affect more than 50 million Americans. Severe allergic reactions result in anaphylaxis and can be potentially life threatening, sometimes requiring hospital visits in conjunction with emergency interventions such as the use of epinephrine autoinjectors. Various pharmacotherapies have been developed for the treatment of allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, asthma and food allergy, but none are capable of directly regulating mast cell behavior in a way that truly prevents mast cell reactivity to allergens. A therapeutic strategy is therefore needed to 1) selectively target mast cells for delivery of 2) a potent drug that can directly prevent IgE-dependent mast cell secretion. Sialic acid binding immunoglobulin-like lectin 6 (Siglec-6) is a cell surface receptor that is highly and preferentially expressed on all types of mast cells. While its specific function and associated mechanism of signaling is largely unexplored, its homology to other mast cell Siglecs, like CD33, Siglec-7 and Siglec-8, makes it likely to be inhibitory in function. Separate from its canonical signaling function, engagement of Siglec-6 results in its endocytosis. This supports the hypothesis that Siglec-6 can be exploited for targeted drug delivery into mast cells. Development of a Siglec-6-targeted therapy requires an appropriate delivery vehicle. Previously, the Scott Lab has developed and tested a variety of stable, scalable and customizable drug carriers that each possess distinct structure-dependent advantages for controlled delivery. For example, spherical and filamentous nanocarriers can both transport lipophilic drugs, but their differences in aspect ratio result in distinct capacity for receptor-mediated endocytosis and signaling when targeting moieties are presented on their surfaces. In terms of therapeutic agents, Acalabrutinib (AcB) and other Bruton’s kinase inhibitors (BTKi) irreversibly bind and inhibit BTK to prevent IgE-mediated activation of mast cells via FcεRI, a key driver of anaphylaxis. The Bochner Lab has just demonstrated that pretreatment with AcB in a novel humanized mast cell mouse model of anaphylaxis has profound protective effects regarding anaphylaxis severity and improved survival. In parallel, BTKi completely shut off IgE receptor signaling in both human basophils and mast cells in vitro, with IC50’s in the low to mid nanomolar range. However, the pleiotropic nature of systemic BTKi treatment results in potentially serious side effects, and thus BTKi are not approved for use outside of cancer indications. To test the hypothesis that Siglec-6-mediated targeted delivery of AcB will result in specific inhibition of allergic mast cell activation, two Specific Aims will be achieved: (1) to optimize and characterize the binding kinetics, specificity, and inhibitory activity of Siglec-6/BTKi loaded micellar and filamentous nanocarriers; and (2) to compare the specificity and inhibitory effects of these nanocarriers in Siglec-6 mast cell knock-in mice and humanized mast cell mice. The overarching goal is to generate proof-of-concept data for a subsequent R01 application to more fully develop and test drug delivery systems that selectively deliver drugs into mast cells.

项目概要过敏性疾病是 IgE 依赖性、肥大细胞介导的疾病，影响超过 5000 万人美国人严重的过敏反应会导致过敏反应，有时可能危及生命。需要医院就诊并结合紧急干预措施，例如使用肾上腺素自动注射器。已开发出多种药物疗法用于治疗过敏性鼻炎、特应性皮炎、哮喘和食物过敏，但没有一个能够以真正预防肥大的方式直接调节肥大细胞的行为因此，需要一种治疗策略来1）选择性地靶向肥大细胞进行递送。 2) 一种可以直接阻止IgE依赖性肥大细胞分泌的强效药物。唾液酸结合免疫球蛋白样凝集素 6 (Siglec-6) 是一种细胞表面受体，具有高度和优先在所有类型的肥大细胞上表达，而其具体功能和相关机制。信号传导在很大程度上尚未被探索，它与其他肥大细胞 Siglecs（如 CD33、Siglec-7 和 Siglec-8）的同源性使得与其典型的信号传导功能不同，Siglec-6 的参与可能具有抑制作用。这支持了 Siglec-6 可用于靶向药物递送的假设。 Siglec-6 靶向疗法的开发需要适当的递送载体。 Scott Lab 开发并测试了多种稳定、可扩展和可定制的药物载体，每种药物载体具有独特的结构依赖性的受控递送优势，例如球形和丝状。纳米载体都可以运输亲脂性药物，但它们长宽比的差异导致了不同的运输能力当靶向部分出现在其表面时，受体介导的内吞作用和信号传导。在治疗药物方面，Acalabrutinib（AcB）和其他布鲁顿激酶抑制剂（BTKi）不可逆结合并抑制 BTK，以防止 IgE 通过 FcεRI（过敏反应的关键驱动因素）介导的肥大细胞激活。 Bochner 实验室刚刚证明，在新型人源化肥大细胞小鼠模型中使用 AcB 进行预处理同时，过敏反应对于过敏反应的严重程度和提高生存率具有深远的保护作用。 BTKi 在体外完全关闭人嗜碱性粒细胞和肥大细胞中的 IgE 受体信号传导，IC50 为低至中纳摩尔范围然而，全身 BTKi 治疗的多效性可能导致潜在的副作用。严重的副作用，因此 BTKi 未被批准用于癌症适应症之外的用途。检验 Siglec-6 介导的 AcB 靶向递送将导致特异性抑制的假设过敏性肥大细胞激活，将实现两个具体目标：（1）优化和表征结合 Siglec-6/BTKi 负载的胶束和丝状纳米载体的动力学、特异性和抑制活性；以及 (2) 比较这些纳米载体在 Siglec-6 肥大细胞敲入小鼠中的特异性和抑制效果人源化肥大细胞小鼠的总体目标是为后续 R01 生成概念验证数据。应用程序更全面地开发和测试选择性地将药物递送到肥大细胞的药物递送系统。
