    Abstract: New paramagnetic nanoconstructs (nCS) are demonstrated with superior MRI and thermal ablation properties. The nCSs are generated by loading Gd-DTPA and ultra-short gadonanotubes (GNTs) within the nanoporous matrix of systemically injectable silicon nanoporous particles (SiNPs) [1]. Gd-DTPA is a Gd-based contrast agent currently used in clinical practice. The GNTs consist of Gd3+-ion clusters encapsulated within carbon nanotube capsules, which are 20-80 nm in length and 1.3 nm in diameter. Nanoporous discoidal SiNPs are fabricated by combining optical lithography and electrochemical etching. Two different particle sizes (small 600×200 nm and large 1000×400 nm) and particle surface configurations (untargeted and RGD-4C targeted) are considered in this study. The nCSs are characterized in terms of (i) biodistribution in tumor bearing mice; (ii) MRI longitudinal relaxivity r1 and (iii) thermal ablation efficiency. The nCS accumulation in 6 organs (liver, spleen, heart, lungs, kidneys and brain) and in tumors is quantified by elemental silicon analysis through inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometer. Organ accumulation is observed to highly dependent on particle shape and size. In tumors, the larger discoidal particles are observed to accumulate more than the smaller particles, with a percentage of injected dose per gram organ of about 5% and 1.5%, respectively. For RGD-4C targeted particles, the tumor accumulation percentages grow up to about 10% and 8% of the injected dose / gram tumor, respectively. For MRI applications, the nCSs exhibit a relaxivity enhancement up to 3-4 times the values of the original Gd-based imaging agent loaded (either Gd-DTPA or GNT). In particular, for the GNT loaded SiNPs, longitudinal relaxivities up to 160 mM-1s-1 per Gd3+-ions are measured at 1.5T, which are two orders of magnitude higher than for clinically available MRI agents (r1 = 4 mM-1s-1 per Gd3+-ions at 1.5T). Eventually, the nCS thermal ablating properties are characterized upon excitation through externally applied electromagnetic fields. High quality-factor resonators (0.5-300 MHz) with separated radio frequency -electric (up to 200 V/m) and -magnetic (up to 5 mT) fields are used for non-invasive nCS stimulation and fiber optic temperature sensors are used to map the associated temperature increase. The nCSs have shown both magnetic and dielectric rf losses and significant heating at 120 MHz. Mechanisms and efficiency of heating are discussed in terms of both magnetic and electric fields excitation, the concentration of nCSs, loading of GNTs into nCSs, frequency and power of the external generator.The multifunctionality and superior biodistribution performance of these nCSs could be effectively used in cancer imaging and treatment through alternative physical-based approaches.

    Abstract: Introduction: Poly(ADP-ribose) Polymerase (PARP) plays an important role in a number of DNA repair pathways. PARP inhibitors (PARPi) such as Olaparib and Talazoparib exploit the concept of synthetic lethality by selectively targeting cancer cells with defective DNA repair pathways. These drugs are currently only available in oral form which results in limited bioavailability, poor tumor accumulation, and systemic toxicity. Here we report the development of novel nanoformulations of Olaparib and Talazoparib to allow intravenous or intraperitoneal delivery, providing greater bioavailability and tumor accumulation, while limiting systemic toxicities. Methods: Nanoparticle formulations of Olaparib and Talazoparib were synthesized and tested in vitro and in vivo. Short-and long-term dose response with a panel of ovarian cancer cell lines were conducted. These cell lines include KURAMOCHI, SKOV3, OVSAHO, JHOS2, PA1, COV318, 403 and 404, derived from BRCA2-/-, PTEN-/-, TP53mut mice, and 4306 and 4412, developed from conditional LSL-K-rasG12D/+, PTENloxP/loxP mice. Radiosensitization with NanoOlaparib was tested in the radiation resistant prostate cancer cell line FK01, derived from Ptenpc-/-;Trp53pc-/- mice. In vivo, NanoOlaparib was tested in an IP spread model using 404 cells. Animals were treated IP with NanoOlaparib alone, and in combination with cisplatin. Radiosensitization with NanoOlaparib in vivo was tested in a xenograft model using FK01 cells to mimic castration resistant prostate cancer. Animals were treated biweekly with NanoOlaparib before and after radiation treatment. Results: The murine cell lines 403 and 404 were highly sensitive to this treatment due to the mutations in BRCA2, PTEN, and TP53. 4412 and 4306 showed comparable sensitivity, suggesting that a PTEN deletion confers similar sensitivity to PARP inhibitors as a BRCA2 deletion. PA1 demonstrated high sensitivity to NanoOlaparib which may be attributed to genetic instability. NanoTalazoparib is more potent than NanoOlaparib, resulting in a similar relationship in cell line sensitivity with overall lower IC50’s. Strong synergistic radiosensitization was observed in FK01 cells with NanoOlaparib. Bioluminescence imaging illustrated that NanoOlaparib administered IP daily resulted in a greater inhibition of tumor growth than those treated with oral Olaparib daily. The FK01 xenografts are highly radioresistant with little difference between untreated and radiation only animals. NanoOlaparib delays tumor growth, while the combination of radiation and NanoOlaparib clearly shrinks tumors. Conclusions: Robust nanoparticle formulations of NanoTalazoparib and NanoOlaparib have been successfully developed for in vitro and in vivo studies. These results show that NanoOlaparib and NanoTalazoparib amplify the therapeutic efficacy of PARP inhibition and imply a very promising role for the nanoformulation in ovarian and prostate cancers.

    Abstract: The breast cancer-associated gene 1 (Brca1) is the most frequently mutated tumor suppressor gene found in familial breast cancers. Mutations of the gene modulate many cellular functions including DNA damage and repair, homologous recombination, cell-cycle regulation, and apoptosis. Poly-ADP-Ribose Polymerase (PARP) inhibitor therapy can produce cell death in cancers with genetic predispositions for impaired DNA repair or transcription pathways such as Brca1 mutants. Here we report a novel biodegradable implant for the local delivery of PARP inhibitor Talazoparib to treat Brca1-mutated cancers. This one-time intratumoral injection provides a safe vehicle for the sustained release of PARP inhibitor Talazoparib in contrast to low bioavailability and toxicity associated with oral delivery. Methods: Biodegradable implants of 1-2mm length and 0.8mm diameter were loaded with ∼50μg Talazoparib. The implants were characterized in vitro using SEM and HPLC, and the release kinetic studies were carried out in PBS buffer (pH 6.0) at 37°C. The IC50 was determined using an MTS assay in breast cancer cell lines derived from Brca1 Co/Co; MMTV-Cre; p53+/−mice. In vivo studies were carried out in Brca1 Co/Co; MMTV-Cre; p53+/− mice. Drug-loaded implants were injected once intratumorally using an 18G brachytherapy needle. Results: In vitro studies The release profile of the drug from the implant in buffer showed a highly sustained release for multiple weeks at therapeutically relevant doses. Breast cancer cell lines W0069 and W780, derived from Brca1 Co/Co; MMTV-Cre; p53+/− mice were highly sensitive to Talazoparib, most likely due to Brca1 mutation. PARP expression was examined via western blot analysis. In vivo studies In vivo studies using sustained drug release implants loaded with Talazoparib were also carried out in Brca1Co/Co;MMTV-Cre;p53+/- genetically engineered mice with 1 or more spontaneous breast tumors. Following a one-time implantation, tumors reduced in size by an average of 50%, while untreated tumors increased ∼5X in size. Talazoparib dosing appeared to be well tolerated by the mice. Histology samples were taken from sacrificed mice and immunohistochemistry are currently underway. Conclusions: Sustained local release of therapeutically relevant doses of Talazoparib was observed in vitro and in vivo. The Talazoparib-loaded implants represent a novel delivery route that was well-tolerated. Sustained release of Talazoparib appears to amplify the therapeutic efficacy of PARP inhibition and is a promising new route for the treatment of highly aggressive breast cancer models.

    Abstract: Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) for cancer therapy is advantageous over conventional chemotherapy with doxorubicin, because of the preferential delivery of drugs to tumors owing to the enhanced permeation and retention (EPR) effect. The biological barriers include abnormal structure of tumor vessels in heterogeneous tumor microenvironments shall influence the EPR effect and result in heterogeneous tumor perfusion of PLD and therapeutic efficacy. Although 4T1, murine breast cancer cells and 3LL, murine lung cancer cells had similar sensitivity to PLD in vitro, only 4T1 tumors responded to therapy with PLD in vivo. There were no significant differences of the microvessel density and blood perfusion in these tumors. In contrast, PLD extravasated and accumulated into 4T1 tumors significantly more than 3LL tumors, indicating vascular permeability was higher in 4T1 tumors. Coverage of endothelial cells by collagen type IV, which constitutes basement membrane of the vessels, was significantly lower in 4T1 tumors as compared to those in 3LL tumors. Differential analysis of protein expression by 4T1 and 3LL cells in vitro revealed that MMP-9 (collagenase) production was significantly higher in 4T1 cells as compared to 3LL cells. MMP-9 expression was also higher in 4T1 tumors as well as in sera of mice bearing 4T1 tumors as compared to 3LL tumors and sera of mice bearing 3LL tumors and normal mice respectively. Batimastat, MMPs inhibitor, injected in vivo increased the coverage of endothelial cells by basement membrane and abrogated the accumulation of PLD into the 4T1 tumors, indicating MMP-9 can play a pivotal role in controlling the vascular permeability. Interestingly, 4T1 tumors were accumulated with PLD only when tumors were growing in the brain and mammary fat pad, but not in the liver. Coverage of the endothelial cells by basement membrane was significantly higher in the tumors growing in the liver as compared to the other two locations. The levels of TIMP-1, endogenous inhibitor of MMPs, were significantly higher in the mice bearing 4T1 in the liver as compared to the mice bearing the tumors in the other locations. These data indicate the levels as well as balance between MMP-9 and TIMP-1 can determine the vascular permeability to PLD. Therefore the these enzymes in the circulation can serve as surrogate markers for the vascular permeability to PLD and there is a possibility to personalize the therapy by selecting patients who will likely accumulated with PLD into tumors to increase clinical outcome.

    Abstract: Sustained localized delivery of cancer therapeutics is a safe and effective unique option for non-metastatic cancers. Here we report a novel biodegradable implant with the capability to encapsulate therapeutics, molecular agents, or nanoparticles for local intratumoral delivery. We have successfully demonstrated in vivo the delivery of PARP inhibitor Talazoparib to treat Brca1-mutated cancers and Docetaxel to treat localized or recurring prostate cancers. This one-time intratumoral injection provides a safe vehicle for the sustained release of PARP inhibitor Talazoparib and chemotherapeutic Docetaxel in contrast to low bioavailability and toxicity associated with oral or systemic delivery. Methods: Biodegradable implants of 1-2mm length and 0.8mm diameter were loaded with ∼50μg Talazoparib (BMN) for BRCA1-mutated breast cancer (BCa) studies and ∼500μg Docetaxel (DTX) for prostate cancer (PCa) studies. Implants were characterized using SEM and HPLC, and release studies were carried out in pH 6.0 PBS buffer at 37°C. The IC50's were determined using an MTS assay in cell lines W0069 and W780 (BCa) and PC3 (PCa). In vivo studies were carried out in Brca1 Co/Co;MMTV-Cre; p53+/− spontaneous tumored mice for BCa studies. Subcutaneous PC3 tumors were xenografted in nude mice. PCa studies were done with and without radiation. Implants were injected once intratumorally using an 18G brachytherapy needle. Results: The release profile of the drug from the implant in buffer showed a highly sustained release for multiple weeks at therapeutically relevant doses for both DTX and BMN loaded implants. BCa cell lines W0069 and W780 were highly sensitive to BMN, most likely due to Brca1 mutation. Following a one-time intratumoral implantation of BMN, tumors reduced in size by an average of 50%, while untreated tumors increased ∼5X in size. BMN dosing appeared to be well tolerated by the mice. DTX implants proved to be an effective method for PCa treatment in vivo with no weight loss observed. The local DTX group showed sustained tumor inhibition compared to empty implants and an equivalent DTX dose given systemically. At 40 days 89% survival was observed for mice treated with localized DTX implants compared with 0% in all other treatment groups. Histology samples were taken from sacrificed mice and immunohistochemistry is currently underway. Conclusions: Sustained local release of therapeutically relevant doses of BMN and DTX were observed in vitro and in vivo. Therapeutics loaded in implants represent a novel delivery modality that is well-tolerated. Sustained release of BMN appears to amplify the therapeutic efficacy of PARP inhibition in BRCA1 mutated breast cancers and sustained release of DTX is an effective chemotherapy option alone or in combination with radiation therapy. These results lay a strong foundation for the use of localized biodegradable implants for the treatment of breast and prostate cancer.

    Abstract: The use of PARP inhibitors in combination with radiotherapy is a promising strategy to locally enhance DNA damage in tumors. Here we show that radiation-resistant cells and tumors derived from a Pten/Trp53-deficient mouse model of advanced prostate cancer are rendered radiation sensitive following treatment with NanoOlaparib, a lipid-based injectable nanoformulation of olaparib. This enhancement in radiosensitivity is accompanied by radiation dose-dependent changes in γ-H2AX expression and is specific to NanoOlaparib alone. In animals, twice-weekly intravenous administration of NanoOlaparib results in significant tumor growth inhibition, whereas previous studies of oral olaparib as monotherapy have shown no therapeutic efficacy. When NanoOlaparib is administered prior to radiation, a single dose of radiation is sufficient to triple the median mouse survival time compared to radiation only controls. Half of mice treated with NanoOlaparib + radiation achieved a complete response over the 13-week study duration. Using ferumoxytol as a surrogate nanoparticle, MRI studies revealed that NanoOlaparib enhances the intratumoral accumulation of systemically administered nanoparticles. NanoOlaparib-treated tumors showed up to 19-fold higher nanoparticle accumulation compared to untreated and radiation-only controls, suggesting that the in vivo efficacy of NanoOlaparib may be potentiated by its ability to enhance its own accumulation. Together, these data suggest that NanoOlaparib may be a promising new strategy for enhancing the radiosensitivity of radiation-resistant tumors lacking BRCA mutations, such as those with PTEN and TP53 deletions.

    Abstract: Chemotherapeutic delivery is generally poor in tumors characterized by rapid perfusion and low blood volume fraction. Nanoparticles can be engineered to overcome abnormal flow conditions to act as intravascular drug depots for the localized delivery of high concentrations of chemotherapeutics. We hypothesized that the ability of multi-stage nanotherapeutics to accumulate in tumors is highly dependent on tumor perfusion and that matching particle parameters to tumor-specific flow parameters can improve the delivery of nanotherapeutics. To test this hypothesis, we measured first-pass perfusion of an intra-arterial bolus of FITC-dextran using intravital microscopy (IVM) in 4 patient-derived breast tumor xenograft (PDX) lines: BCM-2665, BCM-4195, BCM-2147, and BCM-3887. These PDX lines were established directly from patient samples and maintain the triple negative biomarker status of the original patient tumors. Selected for their differing vascular morphologies, these 4 tumor lines yielded distinct, reproducible transport features unique to each tissue. BCM-2665 tumors (n=6) were characterized by regions of dense vascularization interspersed with regions of little to no blood flow. BCM-2147 tumors (n=6) were dominated by large tortuous vessels like those observed in BCM-2665 tumors, but also had a well-developed capillary network interconnecting the large vessels. BCM-3887 tumors (n=6) were characterized by an extensive network of poorly defined, dilated, leaky microvessels. BCM-4195 tumors were uniformly covered with a well-defined, widely spaced microvessel network. The arteriovenous transit time (AVTT) was measured by tracking a bolus of 40kDa FITC-dextran through the tumor vasculature in real-time. Both 2665 and 2147 tumors were rapidly perfused (∼10 - 25 seconds), whereas a majority of 3887 and 4195 tumors required ∼45 seconds or more. The blood volume fraction (BVF) varied by nearly an order of magnitude, with 2665 and 2147 tumors exhibiting the lowest BVF (∼0.11 - 0.12). The tracer elimination constant (Kel), which was measured as a surrogate for tumor permeability using time-lapse IVM images, was an order of magnitude lower for 3887 and 4195 tumors (∼0.11/hr vs. ∼1.17/hr) indicating that these tumors are much more permeable than 2665 and 2147 tumors. Interestingly, flow parameters that adversely impact drug accumulation appear to favor particle accumulation. In clinical studies, tumors characterized by rapid perfusion and low blood volume fraction generally respond poorly to chemotherapy and radiation therapy. We have observed this phenomenon in our cancer models: BCM-2665 and BCM-2147 tumors fail to show growth inhibition at clinically relevant doses of docetaxel, whereas BCM-4195 and BCM-3887 tumors show complete growth inhibition. As such, we believe these tumors will provide an excellent model for studying the relative importance of tumor-specific transport features for improving drug delivery. Citation Format: Anne L.

    Abstract: High-resolution optical imaging provides the opportunity to visualize the transport of systemically injected nanoparticle systems along a series of biophysical barriers to their site of action. Data collected using this approach can be used to simulate, predict, understand, and improve the delivery of therapeutics and/or contrast agents to solid tumors. Here we present evidence that tailoring the physical properties of nanoparticle systems can improve their accumulation at disease sites. Using confocal technologies, we investigated the dynamics of nanoporous silicon particles in the microvasculature of normal and tumor-bearing mice. The biodistribution of intravenously injected particles of different size, shape, and surface properties were monitored in real-time. In organs of the reticuloendothelial system (RES), the rate of particle accumulation, as well as the total number of particles accumulated, was highly dependent on particle shape. Particles which preferentially accumulated in tumors were different than those which accumulated in the RES organs, suggesting that particle shape is an important design parameter for organ-specific delivery. The importance of modifying particle surface was evaluated in melanoma-bearing mice by systemically administering particles with and without endothelial-specific targeting moieties. The addition of targeting moieties was found to improve tumor-specific accumulation as much as changing particle shape. We have independently validated these in vivo findings and begun to elucidate the mechanisms of particle accumulation using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry, immunocytochemistry, immunohistochemistry, and mathematical modeling.

    Abstract: The BRCA1 tumor suppressor gene encodes a multidomain protein for which several functions have been described. These include a key role in homologous recombination repair (HRR) of DNA double-strand breaks, which is shared with two other high-risk hereditary breast cancer suppressors, BRCA2 and PALB2. Although both BRCA1 and BRCA2 interact with PALB2, BRCA1 missense variants affecting its PALB2-interacting coiled-coil domain are considered variants of uncertain clinical significance (VUS). Using genetically engineered mice, we show here that a BRCA1 coiled-coil domain VUS, Brca1 p.L1363P, disrupts the interaction with PALB2 and leads to embryonic lethality. Brca1 p.L1363P led to a similar acceleration in the development of Trp53-deficient mammary tumors as Brca1 loss, but the tumors showed distinct histopathologic features, with more stable DNA copy number profiles in Brca1 p.L1363P tumors. Nevertheless, Brca1 p.L1363P mammary tumors were HRR incompetent and responsive to cisplatin and PARP inhibition. Overall, these results provide the first direct evidence that a BRCA1 missense variant outside of the RING and BRCT domains increases the risk of breast cancer. Significance: These findings reveal the importance of a patient-derived BRCA1 coiled-coil domain sequence variant in embryonic development, mammary tumor suppression, and therapy response.

    Abstract: Sustained localized delivery of cancer therapeutics is a safe and effective unique option for local control of tumors. Here we report a novel biodegradable implant with the capability to encapsulate different therapeutics, molecular agents, or nanoparticles for local intratumoral delivery. We have successfully demonstrated in vivo the delivery of PARP inhibitor Talazoparib to treat Brca1-mutated cancers and Docetaxel to treat localized or recurring prostate cancers. This one-time intratumoral injection provides a safe vehicle for the sustained release of PARP inhibitor Talazoparib and chemotherapeutic Docetaxel in contrast to low bioavailability and toxicity associated with oral or systemic delivery. Methods: Biodegradable implants of 1-2mm length and 0.8mm diameter were loaded with ~50μg Talazoparib for BRCA1-mutated breast cancer studies and ~500μg Docetaxel (DTX) for prostate cancer studies. The implants were characterized in vitro using SEM and HPLC, and the release kinetic studies were carried out in PBS buffer (pH 6.0) at 37°C. The IC50's were determined using an MTS assay in breast cancer cell lines derived from Brca1 Co/Co; MMTV-Cre; p53+/−mice, W0069 and W780, and human-derived prostate cancer, PC3. In vivo studies were carried out in Brca1 Co/Co; MMTV-Cre; p53+/− spontaneous tumored mice for breast cancer studies. Subcutaneous PC3 tumors were xenografted in nude mice. Prostate cancer studies were done with and without radiation. Drug-loaded implants were injected once intratumorally using an 18G brachytherapy needle. Results: The release profile of the drug from the implant in buffer showed a highly sustained release for multiple weeks at therapeutically relevant doses for both docetaxel and Talazoparib loading implants. Breast cancer cell lines W0069 and W780 were highly sensitive to Talazoparib, most likely due to Brca1 mutation. Following a one-time intratumoral implantation of Talazoparib, tumors reduced in size by an average of 50%, while untreated tumors increased ~5X in size. Talazoparib dosing appeared to be well tolerated by the mice. Docetaxel implants proved to be an effective method for prostate cancer in vivo with no significant weight loss observed. The local docetaxel spacer group showed sustained tumor inhibition compared to empty implants and an equivalent DTX dose given systemically. At 40 days 89% survival was observed for mice treated with localized DTX implants compared with 0% in all other treatment groups. Histology samples were taken from sacrificed mice and immunohistochemistry are currently underway. Conclusions: Sustained local release of therapeutically relevant doses of Talazoparib and Docetaxel were observed in vitro and in vivo. Therapeutics-loaded implants represent a novel delivery route that are well-tolerated. Sustained release of Talazoparib appears to amplify the therapeutic efficacy of PARP inhibition in BRCA1 mutated breast cancers and sustained release of Docetaxel is an effective chemotherapy option alone or in combination with radiation therapy. These results laid a strong foundation for the use of localized biodegradable implants for the treatment of breast and prostate cancer.
