Nucleic acid binding polymers (NABPs) have been extensively used as vehicles for DNA and RNA delivery. More recently, we discovered that a subset of these NABPs can also serve as anti-inflammatory agents by capturing pro-inflammatory extracellular nucleic acids and associated protein complexes that promote activation of toll-like receptors (TLRs) in diseases such as lupus erythematosus. Nucleic-acid-mediated TLR signaling also facilitates tumor progression and metastasis in several cancers, including pancreatic cancer (PC). In addition, extracellular DNA and RNA circulate on or within lipid microvesicles, such as microparticles or exosomes, which also promote metastasis by inducing pro-tumorigenic signaling in cancer cells and pre-conditioning secondary sites for metastatic establishment. Here, we explore the use of an NABP, the 3 generation polyamidoamine dendrimer (PAMAM-G3), as an anti-metastatic agent. We show that PAMAM-G3 not only inhibits nucleic-acid-mediated activation of TLRs and invasion of PC tumor cells in vitro, but can also directly bind extracellular microvesicles to neutralize their pro-invasive effects as well. Moreover, we demonstrate that PAMAM-G3 dramatically reduces liver metastases in a syngeneic murine model of PC. Our findings identify a promising therapeutic application of NABPs for combating metastatic disease in PC and potentially other malignancies.
核酸结合聚合物(NABPs)已被广泛用作 DNA 和 RNA 递送的载体。最近,我们发现这些 NABPs 的一部分还可以通过捕获促炎细胞外核酸和相关蛋白复合物来作为抗炎剂,这些复合物在红斑狼疮等疾病中促进 Toll 样受体(TLRs)的激活。核酸介导的 TLR 信号还促进了几种癌症(包括胰腺癌(PC))的肿瘤进展和转移。此外,细胞外 DNA 和 RNA 或在脂质微泡(如微颗粒或外泌体)上循环,这些微泡通过诱导癌细胞中的促肿瘤信号和对转移定植的二级部位进行预处理,也促进转移。在这里,我们探索了使用一种 NABP,即第三代聚酰胺胺树枝状大分子(PAMAM-G3)作为抗转移剂。我们表明,PAMAM-G3 不仅可以抑制体外核酸介导的 TLR 激活和 PC 肿瘤细胞的侵袭,还可以直接结合细胞外微泡来中和其侵袭性作用。此外,我们证明 PAMAM-G3 可显著减少 PC 同源小鼠模型中的肝转移。我们的研究结果确定了 NABP 在治疗 PC 和潜在其他恶性肿瘤的转移性疾病方面具有广阔的应用前景。
