Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a diverse group of bone marrow disorders and clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorders characterized by abnormal blood cells, or reduced peripheral blood cell count. Recent clinical studies on combination therapy of decitabine (DAC) and arsenic trioxide (ATO) have demonstrated synergy on MDS treatment, but the treatment can cause significant side effects to patients. In addition, both drugs have to be administered on a daily basis due to their short half-lives. In addressing key issues of reducing toxic side effects and improving pharmacokinetic profiles of the therapeutic agents, we have developed a new formulation by co-packaging DAC and ATO into alendronate-conjugated bone-targeting nanoparticles (BTNPs). Our pharmacokinetic studies revealed that intravenously administered BTNPs increased circulation time up to 3days. Biodistribution analysis showed that the BTNP facilitated DAC and ATO accumulation in the bone, which is 6.7 and 7.9 times more than untargeted NP. Finally, MDS mouse model treated with BTNPs showed better restoration of complete blood count to normal level, and significantly longer median survival as compared to free drugs or untargeted NPs treatment. Our results support bone-targeted co-delivery of DAC and ATO for effective treatment of MDS.
骨髓增生异常综合征(MDS)是一组异质性的骨髓疾病和克隆性造血干细胞疾病,其特征为血细胞异常或外周血血细胞计数减少。最近关于地西他滨(DAC)和三氧化二砷(ATO)联合治疗的临床研究表明,两者联合治疗 MDS 具有协同作用,但该治疗会给患者带来显著的副作用。此外,由于这两种药物的半衰期较短,因此需要每天给药。为了解决降低毒性副作用和改善治疗药物药代动力学特征的关键问题,我们通过将 DAC 和 ATO 共同包封到阿仑膦酸钠偶联的骨靶向纳米颗粒(BTNPs)中开发了一种新的制剂。我们的药代动力学研究表明,静脉注射 BTNPs 可将循环时间延长至 3 天。生物分布分析表明,BTNP 促进了 DAC 和 ATO 在骨中的积累,其在骨中的积累量分别是非靶向 NP 的 6.7 倍和 7.9 倍。最后,用 BTNPs 治疗 MDS 小鼠模型显示,与游离药物或非靶向 NP 治疗相比,其全血细胞计数恢复到正常水平的效果更好,且中位生存期显著延长。我们的结果支持 DAC 和 ATO 的骨靶向共递送来有效治疗 MDS。
