Heterogeneous liposome membranes with pH-triggered permeability enhance the in vitro antitumor activity of folate-receptor targeted liposomal doxorubicin.

Abstract:

:The killing efficacy of doxorubicin from liposome-based delivery carriers has been shown to correlate strongly with its intracellular trafficking and, in particular, its fast and extensive release from the delivery carrier. However, previously explored pH-triggered mechanisms that were designed to become activated during liposome endocytosis have also been shown to interfere with the liposome stability in vivo. We have designed pH-triggered gel-phase liposomes with heterogeneous membranes for the delivery of doxorubicin. These liposomes are triggered to form "leaky" interfacial boundaries between gel-gel phase separated domains on the membrane bilayer with lowering pH. The pH-triggered mechanism does not compromise liposome stability in vivo and results in superior in vitro killing efficacy of delivered doxorubicin when liposomes are endocytosed by a clathrin-mediated pathway. In the present work, we evaluate the general applicability of these liposomes when targeted to the folate receptor (FR) of KB cancer cells in vitro and become endocytosed by a less acidic pathway: the caveolae pathway. FR-targeting liposomes exhibit almost 50% decrease in cell association for increase in liposome size from 120 to 280 nm in diameter after relatively short incubation times (up to 4 h). The fraction of internalized vesicles, however, is approximately 60% of the cell associated vesicles independent of their size. Our findings demonstrate that, for the same doxorubicin uptake per cancer cell, the killing effect of doxorubicin delivered by pH-triggered lipid vesicles is greater (IC(50) = 0.032 mM for a 6 h incubation) than when delivered by a conventional non-pH-responsive composition (IC(50) = 0.194 mM). These findings suggest higher bioexposure of cells to the therapeutic agent possibly via faster and more extensive release from the carrier. Animal studies of FR-targeting non-pH-responsive liposomal doxorubicin report stronger therapeutic potential for the targeted approach relative to nontargeted liposomes and to free doxorubicin. The findings of the present study suggest that the targeted pH-triggered liposomes could potentially further enhance the therapeutic outcomes of doxorubicin in vivo.
