Abstract:
:Despite its rapid enzymatic inactivation and therefore limited activity in vivo, Gemcitabine is the standard drug for pancreatic cancer treatment. To protect the drug, and achieve passive tumor targeting, we developed a liposomal formulation of Gemcitabine, GemLip (Ø: 36 nm: 47% entrapment). Its anti-tumoral activity was tested on MIA PaCa-2 cells growing orthotopically in nude mice. Bioluminescence measurement mediated by the stable integration of the luciferase gene was employed to randomize the mice, and monitor tumor growth. GemLip (4 and 8 mg/kg), Gemcitabine (240 mg/kg), and empty liposomes (equivalent to 8 mg/kg GemLip) were injected intravenously once weekly for 5 weeks. GemLip (8 mg/kg) stopped tumor growth, as measured via in vivo bioluminescence, reducing the primary tumor size by 68% (SD +/- 8%; p < 0.02), whereas Gemcitabine hardly affected tumor size (-7%; +/- 1.5%). In 80% of animals, luciferase activity in the liver indicated the presence of metastases. All treatments, including the empty liposomes, reduced the metastatic burden. Thus, GemLip shows promising antitumoral activity in this model. Surprisingly, empty liposomes attenuate the spread of metastases similar to Gemcitabine and GemLip. Further, luciferase marked tumor cells are a powerful tool to observe tumor growth in vivo, and to detect and quantify metastases.
