Transcription factor complex NF-κB (p65/p50) is localized to the cytoplasm by its inhibitor IκBα. Upon activation, the Rel proteins p65/p50 are released from IκBα and transported through nuclear pore to affect many gene expressions. While inhibitions of up or down stream signal pathways are often ineffective due to crosstalks and compensations, direct blocking of the Rel proteins p65/p50 has long been proposed as a potential target for cancer therapy. In this work, a nanoparticle/antibody complex targeting NF-κB is employed to catch the Rel protein p65 in perinuclear region and thus blocking the translocation near the nuclear pore gate. TAT peptide conjugated on mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) help non-endocytosis cell-membrane transducing and converge toward perinuclear region, where the p65 specific antibody performed the targeting and catching against active NF-κB p65 effectively. The size of the p65 bound nanoparticle becomes too big to enter nucleus. Simultaneous treatment of mice with the hybrid MSN and doxorubicin conferred a significant therapeutic effect against 4T1 tumor-bearing mice. The new approach of anti-body therapy targeting on transcription factor with "nucleus focusing" and "size exclusion blocking" effects of the antibody-conjugated nanoparticle is general and may be applicable to modulating other transcription factors.
转录因子复合物NF-κB(p65/p50)通过其抑制剂IκBα定位于细胞质中。激活后,Rel蛋白p65/p50从IκBα中释放出来,并通过核孔转运以影响许多基因的表达。由于信号通路的串扰和补偿作用,抑制上游或下游信号通路往往无效,长期以来,直接阻断Rel蛋白p65/p50一直被认为是癌症治疗的潜在靶点。在这项研究中,一种靶向NF-κB的纳米颗粒/抗体复合物被用于在核周区域捕获Rel蛋白p65,从而在核孔门附近阻断其转运。缀合在介孔二氧化硅纳米颗粒(MSN)上的TAT肽有助于非内吞性细胞膜转导并聚集到核周区域,在该区域p65特异性抗体有效地对活性NF-κB p65进行靶向和捕获。与p65结合的纳米颗粒尺寸变得太大而无法进入细胞核。用混合MSN和阿霉素同时治疗小鼠对4T1荷瘤小鼠具有显著的治疗效果。这种具有“核聚焦”和“尺寸排阻阻断”效应的抗体缀合纳米颗粒靶向转录因子的新抗体治疗方法具有普遍性,可能适用于调节其他转录因子。
