Whilst there is an extensive body of preclinical nanomedicine research, translation to clinical settings has been slow. Here we present a novel approach to the targeted nanoparticle (NP) concept: utilizing both a novel targeting ligand, VNAR (Variable New Antigen Receptor), a shark-derived single chain binding domain, and an under-investigated target in delta-like ligand 4 (DLL4). We describe the development of an anti-DLL4 VNAR and the site-specific conjugation of this to poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid PEGylated NPs using surface maleimide functional groups. These nanoconjugates were shown to specifically bind DLL4 with high affinity and were preferentially internalized by DLL4-expressing pancreatic cancer cell lines and endothelial cells. Furthermore, a distinct anti-angiogenic effect endowed by the anti-DLL4 VNAR was evident in in vitro tubulogenic assays. Taken together these findings highlight the potential of anti-DLL4 targeted polymeric NPs as a novel therapeutic approach in pancreatic cancer.

抗DLL4 VNAR靶向的纳米颗粒可靶向肿瘤和与肿瘤相关的脉管系统。

尽管有大量的临床前纳米医学研究,但向临床环境的转化缓慢。在这里,我们提出了一种针对靶向纳米粒子(NP)概念的新颖方法:利用新型靶向配体VNAR(可变新抗原受体),鲨鱼衍生的单链结合域以及在类似三角洲的配体中研究不足的靶标4(DLL4)。我们描述了抗DLL4 VNAR的开发及其与poly(lactic- co-乙醇酸)使用表面马来酰亚胺官能团进行PEG化的NP。这些纳米偶联物显示出以高亲和力特异性结合DLL4,并优先被表达DLL4的胰腺癌细胞系和内皮细胞内化。此外,抗DLL4 VNAR赋予的独特的抗血管生成作用在体外微管形成试验中很明显。综上所述,这些发现突出了靶向抗DLL4的聚合物NPs作为胰腺癌治疗新方法的潜力。
