Antibody-targeted delivery of doxorubicin entrapped in sterically stabilized liposomes can eradicate lung cancer in mice.

چکیده
Cancer chemotherapy is limited by adverse side effects resulting from toxicities to normal tissues. Targeted delivery of drugs to diseased tissues in vivo would help to reduce these side effects. Liposomes containing lipid derivatives of polyethylene glycol have circulation times sufficiently long to allow for effective in vivo drug delivery. Polyethylene glycol liposomes, containing entrapped doxorubicin, targeted to KLN-205 squamous cell carcinoma of the lung by means of specific antibodies attached at the liposome surface were capable of reducing tumor burden to a high degree and eradicating tumor in a significant percentage of mice.

Antitumor activity of an epithelial cell adhesion molecule targeted nanovesicular drug delivery system.
Site-specific delivery of anticancer agents to tumors represents a promising therapeutic strategy because it increases efficacy and reduces toxicity to normal tissues compared with untargeted drugs. Sterically stabilized immunoliposomes (SIL), guided by antibodies that specifically bind to well internalizing antigens on the tumor cell surface, are effective nanoscale delivery systems capable of...

Beta1 integrins, expressed on the cell surface of human non-small cell lung carcinomas, are used here as a target for the selective delivery of anti-cancer drug-loaded liposomes. Fab' fragments of a monoclonal antibody specific for human beta1 integrins were conjugated to sterically stabilized liposomes. Confocal microscopy of beta1 integrin-positive lung tumor cells incubated with fluorescentl...
متن کاملDoxorubicin encapsulated in sterically stabilized liposomes is superior to free drug or drug-containing conventional liposomes at suppressing growth and metastases of human lung tumor xenografts.
Liposomes containing polyethylene glycol-derivatized phospholipids are able to evade the reticuloendothelial system and thereby remain in circulation for prolonged periods. We report here that doxorubicin encapsulated in these sterically stabilized liposomes (S-DOX) suppresses the growth of established human lung tumor xenografts in severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice and inhibits the s...

The introduction of long-circulating liposomes sterically stabilized by surface coating with polyethylene glycol has expanded the potential for drug targeting to tumors. In recent clinical studies, evidence of significant antitumor activity has been obtained with the industrially prepared formulation of long-circulating polyethylene glycol-coated liposomes containing doxorubicin, referred to as...
متن کاملAntibody-mediated specific binding and cytotoxicity of liposome-entrapped doxorubicin to lung cancer cells in vitro.
Liposome entrapment of doxorubicin has been shown to reduce its cardiotoxicity in vivo and increase its therapeutic index. A further improvement in therapeutic index could be achieved through targeting of liposome-entrapped drug selectively to cancer cells. Monoclonal antibodies against the squamous lung cancer cell line KLN-205 have been ligated to the surface of long-circulating (Stealth) and...
