ABSTRACT
 This study includes designing of a nanomedical device for the treatment of
vascular hypertension in polycystic kidney diseases (PKD) model through cilia
targeting.
 They generated and compared two different metal and polymer cilia-targeted
nanoparticle drug delivery systems (DDS), i.e. gold (Au) and poly-actic-co-
glycolic acid (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs).
 The target is Dopamine-receptor type-5 (DRS) on primary cilia.
 The drug loaded is Fenoldopam (FD).
Contd.
 The structures and sizes of the DDS were visualized with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) &
confirmed with the dynamic light scattering.
 The diameters of An-NPs and PLGA-NPs were approximately 40±2.5 and 102±4.8 nm, respectively.
 The surface charge of Au-NPs (-47.3±1.2 mV) was significantly more negative than PLGA-NPs (-25.9 ±1.0
mV).
 Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) also confirmed the conjugation of DR5 antibody with
both DDS.
 In vivo studies reveal that both DDS showed improved blood pressure in PKD mice through NO mediated
vasodilation.
1. INTRODUCTION
 Primary cilia are cellular organelles that function as sensory compartments.
 Dysfunction in the chemosensory or mechanosensory of primary cilia results in a list of clinical diseases
(ciliopathies) include expanding spectrum of kidney, liver, and heart disorders.
 There is currently no treatment available for patients with cilia dysfunction.
 Nanoscience promises huge clinical impacts on disease management and personalized medicine.
 There are multiple G-protein-coupled receptors that have been localized to cilia including serotonin,
somatostatin, melanin, and dopamine receptors.
 Because cilia are tiny cell organelles with a diameter of nearly 250 nm, they used DAu and PLGA-NPs as
drug delivery systems due to its excellent biocompatibility, stability properties and applicability for use in
vivo to target primary cilia.
2. MATERIALS & METHODS
The chemicals used in the present study were of high purity and purchased from
the Sigma Aldrich Inc., USA.
Mice were housed in an animal facility at the University of California lrvine
(UCI) under federal, state and national institute of health guidelines and
approved by the Animal Care and Use Committee Guidelines of UCI.
2.1 SYNTHESIS OF NANOPARTICLES
The cilia targeted DDS were then washed with PBS several times, lyophilized and stored in the dark.
The antibody- and fenoldopam-loaded Sunbright-40-OA-DDS were separated from the free antibody and free drug.
Sunbright- 40-OA-DDS (100 mg) were cooled to 4 °C, mixed with 500 y g of DR5-A1exaFluor 594 antibodies to a final volume of 25 mL in PBS and shaken overnight at 4 °C.
A DMSO solution of fenoldopam (400 pL, 15 mg/mL in each reaction) was added to the NP solution, and the reaction was allowed to proceed under stirring (400 rpm) for another
16 hours at 4 °C.
pre- conjugated DR5-A1exaFluor 594 antibody and fenoldopam were bound to the synthesized Sunbright-40-OA-DDS
The DR5 antibody was generated from a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 2-10 of the DR5 N- terminus( do not cross-react with other dopamine receptors)

2.3 CELL CULTURE
 Epithelial cells were purchased (ATCC) and cultured in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium. (Corning
Cellgro, NY)
Supplements used are 10% fetal bovine serum(HyClone, MA), 1% penicillin-streptomycin(Corning
Cellgro, NY) .
 Environmental conditions- 37 °C in a humidified, 5% CO2 environment.
 Prior to the experiments, antibiotics were withdrawn, and cells were serum starved for 24 hours to induce
differentiation.
2.4 IMMUNOCYTOCHEMISTRY
For In vitro cilia length measurements, epithelial cells were grown on the formvar
membrane.
Primary cilia consisting of acetylated microtubule structures were measured by
direct immunofluorescence staining with an acetylated-o-tubulin antibody
following a 16 hours incubation with different concentrations (0.1-5 pg/mL) of
cilia targeted DDS.
Cells were rinsed with buffer (sodium cacodylate), fixed with 2.5%
glutaraldehyde in 0.2 M buffer for 10 min, and permeabilized with 1% Triton-X
100 in buffer for 5 minutes.
An antibody against acetylated-o-tubulin and the secondary antibodies were also
diluted in 10% FBS to decrease the background fiorescence; a FITC-conjugated
secondary antibody.
2.5 INTRACELLULAR Ca +2 & NO IMAGING
After a 16-hour incubation without or with different concentrations (0.1-5 pg/mL)
of FD or cilia targeted DDS, cells were loaded with 5 pM Fura2-AM at 37 °C for
30 minutes.
After washing to remove excess Fura-2 AM, cytosolic calcium (Ca2+) images
were captured every second by recording the fluorescence of Ca2+ bound Fura-2
AM at an excitation wavelength of 340/380 nm and an emission wavelength of
510 nm.
For intracellular nitric oxide (NO) measurements, cells were loaded with 20 pM
DAF-FM for 30 minutes at 37 °C.
NO was then measured every second at excitation and emission wavelengths of
495 and 515 nm, respectively.
Fluid shear stress(0.5 dyn/cm 2) was then applied to cells through lnsTech P720
peristaltic pumps with an inlet and outlet setup.
2.6 ANIMALS
The mice used are Tie2Cre.Pkd2WT/WT, Tie2Cre.Pkd2flox/flox,
Tie2Cre.IFT88flox/flox.
Mice were intraperitoneally injected with 250 mcg of tamoxifen in a 50-pL
volume daily for five consecutive days.
Mice were treated with cilia targeted DAu/PLGA-NPs every 72 hours for 8
weeks.
On the other hand, FD alone was perfused for 30 minutes every 72 hours for 8
weeks.
2.7 MOUSE BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENTS
The mice were subjected to blood pressure examining by the non-invasive tail-
cuff method using a CODA high-throughput system.
Blood pressure was measured twice daily for the duration of the study after the
initial three days of acclimating each mouse to the tail cuff.
All measurements were performed by operators in a double-blind manner.
3. RESULTS & DISCUSSION
Stable Au-Nanoparticle & PLGA NPs were prepared & the
structure & size of cilia DDS were visualised using electron
micrograph. (Fig. 1)
Nanoparticle DDS subjected to primary cilia & observed that
16hr. Of treatment was an optimal effect.
FD-loaded DDS & FD alone significantly increased cilia length &
there is no significant difference in cilia length.
Primary cilia examined for cytosolic Ca+2 indicator Fura-2 AM
which differentiate cilia function by perfusion fluid flow.
As cilia length increases , cilia function also increased which
leads to increase in cytosolic Ca+2 concentration.
Contd.
Although renal epithelial cell synthesize & release NO(Nitric
Oxide), researchers haven’t determined wheather cilia are
involved in this process.
The treatment of epithelial cells with the DDS was sufficient
to produce a sustained release NO. (Fig. 4)
Fluid flow induced cilia bending can activate intracellular
Ca+2 followed with NO biosynthesis.
So FD alone & FD-loaded DDS significantly increase
cytosolic Ca+2 & NO biosynthesis.
Contd.
To know the efficacy of both DDS & FD alone , endothelial
specific pkd2 knockout mice model is used.
While cilia targeted Au-NPs significantly decrease BP in
hypertensive pkd2 mice. Similarly PLGA-NPs decreases BP
towards wild type level.(Fig. 5)
Short 30 min. infusion of FD showed no long term effect,
indicating advantages of sustained release of drug delivery system.
While FD alone seemed to have no effect on pkd2 mice, but FD
had an immediate effect during infusion.
Contd.
A short term infusion of FD significantly decreases BP followed by reflex
tachycardia.
So DDS delivered more superior than FD alone by eliminating the side effect of
reflex tachycardia in pkd2 mouse model.
PLGA NPs tend to correct ciliopathy parameters closer to normal physiological
levels it has better effect than cilia targeted Au-NPs.
4. CONCLUSIONS
It’s a novel approach to target primary cilia.
It provide scientific evidence that existing pharmacological agent
could be personalized with advanced nanomaterials to treat ciliopathy
by targeting cilia without the need of generating new drugs.
This study opened a paradigm of harnessing a novel mechanism for
future strategies in nanomedicine toward a more personalized
medicine for ciliopathy.

Personalized nanomedicine for the treatment of vascular hypertension

  • 1. PERSONALIZED NANOMEDICINE FOR THE TREATMENT OF VASCULAR HYPERTENSION IN POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY DISEASE MODELS BY SUSANTA KUAMR ROUT M. PHARM 1ST SEMESTER DEPARTMENT OF PHARMACEUTICAL ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY IIT(BHU), VARANASI
  • 2. ABSTRACT  This study includes designing of a nanomedical device for the treatment of vascular hypertension in polycystic kidney diseases (PKD) model through cilia targeting.  They generated and compared two different metal and polymer cilia-targeted nanoparticle drug delivery systems (DDS), i.e. gold (Au) and poly-actic-co- glycolic acid (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs).  The target is Dopamine-receptor type-5 (DRS) on primary cilia.  The drug loaded is Fenoldopam (FD).
  • 3. Contd.  The structures and sizes of the DDS were visualized with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) & confirmed with the dynamic light scattering.  The diameters of An-NPs and PLGA-NPs were approximately 40±2.5 and 102±4.8 nm, respectively.  The surface charge of Au-NPs (-47.3±1.2 mV) was significantly more negative than PLGA-NPs (-25.9 ±1.0 mV).  Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) also confirmed the conjugation of DR5 antibody with both DDS.  In vivo studies reveal that both DDS showed improved blood pressure in PKD mice through NO mediated vasodilation.
  • 4. 1. INTRODUCTION  Primary cilia are cellular organelles that function as sensory compartments.  Dysfunction in the chemosensory or mechanosensory of primary cilia results in a list of clinical diseases (ciliopathies) include expanding spectrum of kidney, liver, and heart disorders.  There is currently no treatment available for patients with cilia dysfunction.  Nanoscience promises huge clinical impacts on disease management and personalized medicine.  There are multiple G-protein-coupled receptors that have been localized to cilia including serotonin, somatostatin, melanin, and dopamine receptors.  Because cilia are tiny cell organelles with a diameter of nearly 250 nm, they used DAu and PLGA-NPs as drug delivery systems due to its excellent biocompatibility, stability properties and applicability for use in vivo to target primary cilia.
  • 5. 2. MATERIALS & METHODS The chemicals used in the present study were of high purity and purchased from the Sigma Aldrich Inc., USA. Mice were housed in an animal facility at the University of California lrvine (UCI) under federal, state and national institute of health guidelines and approved by the Animal Care and Use Committee Guidelines of UCI.
  • 6. 2.1 SYNTHESIS OF NANOPARTICLES The cilia targeted DDS were then washed with PBS several times, lyophilized and stored in the dark. The antibody- and fenoldopam-loaded Sunbright-40-OA-DDS were separated from the free antibody and free drug. Sunbright- 40-OA-DDS (100 mg) were cooled to 4 °C, mixed with 500 y g of DR5-A1exaFluor 594 antibodies to a final volume of 25 mL in PBS and shaken overnight at 4 °C. A DMSO solution of fenoldopam (400 pL, 15 mg/mL in each reaction) was added to the NP solution, and the reaction was allowed to proceed under stirring (400 rpm) for another 16 hours at 4 °C. pre- conjugated DR5-A1exaFluor 594 antibody and fenoldopam were bound to the synthesized Sunbright-40-OA-DDS The DR5 antibody was generated from a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 2-10 of the DR5 N- terminus( do not cross-react with other dopamine receptors) Conjugation of DR5 to AlexaFlour 594 maleimide (using an AlexaFluor 594 antibody labelling kit to target thiol groups)*
  • 7. 2.2 NANOPARTICLE CHARACTERIZATION  Recorded on Kratos Analytical AXIS Supra system with a monochromatic Al/Ag X-ray source (Al target). Malvern Instruments Zetasizer Nano Series-ZS- 90. FTIR spectra were recorded using Bruker spectrometer in the diffuse reflectance mode at a X-ray diffraction using a Rigaku SmartLab X-ray diffractometer and Cu-Kα (Cu target) radiation at a scanning rate of 1° per min in the region of 2θ=10-90°. TEM using an FEl/Philips 200 kV CM-20 electron microscope size and shape Freeze dried powder study X- ray photoelectron spectra of the samples particle size distribution and zeta potential
  • 8. 2.3 CELL CULTURE  Epithelial cells were purchased (ATCC) and cultured in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium. (Corning Cellgro, NY) Supplements used are 10% fetal bovine serum(HyClone, MA), 1% penicillin-streptomycin(Corning Cellgro, NY) .  Environmental conditions- 37 °C in a humidified, 5% CO2 environment.  Prior to the experiments, antibiotics were withdrawn, and cells were serum starved for 24 hours to induce differentiation.
  • 9. 2.4 IMMUNOCYTOCHEMISTRY For In vitro cilia length measurements, epithelial cells were grown on the formvar membrane. Primary cilia consisting of acetylated microtubule structures were measured by direct immunofluorescence staining with an acetylated-o-tubulin antibody following a 16 hours incubation with different concentrations (0.1-5 pg/mL) of cilia targeted DDS. Cells were rinsed with buffer (sodium cacodylate), fixed with 2.5% glutaraldehyde in 0.2 M buffer for 10 min, and permeabilized with 1% Triton-X 100 in buffer for 5 minutes. An antibody against acetylated-o-tubulin and the secondary antibodies were also diluted in 10% FBS to decrease the background fiorescence; a FITC-conjugated secondary antibody.
  • 10. 2.5 INTRACELLULAR Ca +2 & NO IMAGING After a 16-hour incubation without or with different concentrations (0.1-5 pg/mL) of FD or cilia targeted DDS, cells were loaded with 5 pM Fura2-AM at 37 °C for 30 minutes. After washing to remove excess Fura-2 AM, cytosolic calcium (Ca2+) images were captured every second by recording the fluorescence of Ca2+ bound Fura-2 AM at an excitation wavelength of 340/380 nm and an emission wavelength of 510 nm. For intracellular nitric oxide (NO) measurements, cells were loaded with 20 pM DAF-FM for 30 minutes at 37 °C. NO was then measured every second at excitation and emission wavelengths of 495 and 515 nm, respectively. Fluid shear stress(0.5 dyn/cm 2) was then applied to cells through lnsTech P720 peristaltic pumps with an inlet and outlet setup.
  • 11. 2.6 ANIMALS The mice used are Tie2Cre.Pkd2WT/WT, Tie2Cre.Pkd2flox/flox, Tie2Cre.IFT88flox/flox. Mice were intraperitoneally injected with 250 mcg of tamoxifen in a 50-pL volume daily for five consecutive days. Mice were treated with cilia targeted DAu/PLGA-NPs every 72 hours for 8 weeks. On the other hand, FD alone was perfused for 30 minutes every 72 hours for 8 weeks.
  • 12. 2.7 MOUSE BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENTS The mice were subjected to blood pressure examining by the non-invasive tail- cuff method using a CODA high-throughput system. Blood pressure was measured twice daily for the duration of the study after the initial three days of acclimating each mouse to the tail cuff. All measurements were performed by operators in a double-blind manner.
  • 13. 3. RESULTS & DISCUSSION Stable Au-Nanoparticle & PLGA NPs were prepared & the structure & size of cilia DDS were visualised using electron micrograph. (Fig. 1) Nanoparticle DDS subjected to primary cilia & observed that 16hr. Of treatment was an optimal effect. FD-loaded DDS & FD alone significantly increased cilia length & there is no significant difference in cilia length. Primary cilia examined for cytosolic Ca+2 indicator Fura-2 AM which differentiate cilia function by perfusion fluid flow. As cilia length increases , cilia function also increased which leads to increase in cytosolic Ca+2 concentration.
  • 14. Contd. Although renal epithelial cell synthesize & release NO(Nitric Oxide), researchers haven’t determined wheather cilia are involved in this process. The treatment of epithelial cells with the DDS was sufficient to produce a sustained release NO. (Fig. 4) Fluid flow induced cilia bending can activate intracellular Ca+2 followed with NO biosynthesis. So FD alone & FD-loaded DDS significantly increase cytosolic Ca+2 & NO biosynthesis.
  • 15. Contd. To know the efficacy of both DDS & FD alone , endothelial specific pkd2 knockout mice model is used. While cilia targeted Au-NPs significantly decrease BP in hypertensive pkd2 mice. Similarly PLGA-NPs decreases BP towards wild type level.(Fig. 5) Short 30 min. infusion of FD showed no long term effect, indicating advantages of sustained release of drug delivery system. While FD alone seemed to have no effect on pkd2 mice, but FD had an immediate effect during infusion.
  • 16. Contd. A short term infusion of FD significantly decreases BP followed by reflex tachycardia. So DDS delivered more superior than FD alone by eliminating the side effect of reflex tachycardia in pkd2 mouse model. PLGA NPs tend to correct ciliopathy parameters closer to normal physiological levels it has better effect than cilia targeted Au-NPs.
  • 17. 4. CONCLUSIONS It’s a novel approach to target primary cilia. It provide scientific evidence that existing pharmacological agent could be personalized with advanced nanomaterials to treat ciliopathy by targeting cilia without the need of generating new drugs. This study opened a paradigm of harnessing a novel mechanism for future strategies in nanomedicine toward a more personalized medicine for ciliopathy.
