- micrometastases hidden within a large population of normal cells presents a unique challenge since access to the micrometastases is impeded by several bio-barriers, poor blood supply, further obstacles are presented by small size of the micrometastases and their dispersion to organs.
- micrometastases are often refractive to therapy. While the solid tumours from which the micrometastases have originated often respond well to conventional therapy there is often regrowth at the site of the primary tumour or at sites of metastasis. This constitutes a serious problem in clinical oncology (Muthana, et al. 2012, Cancer Res; 73(2); 490-495). It is related to characteristics of the microenvironment of solid tumours that limit drug penetration, thereby exposing the tumour to lower than efficacious concentrations of drugs (Hobbs, et al. 1998, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA: 4607-4612).

- a prodrug is modified chemically in a manner that makes it, relative to the drug, less active or inactive, but the chemical modification is such that the corresponding drug is generated by metabolic or other biological processes after the prodrug is administered to the patient.
- a prodrug may for example have, relative to the active drug, altered metabolic stability or transport characteristics, fewer side effects or lower toxicity, or improved flavor (for example, see the reference Nogrady, 1985, Medicinal Chemistry A Biochemical Approach, Oxford University Press, New York, pages 388-392, incorporated herein by reference).
- a prodrug may be synthesized using reactants other than the corresponding drug.
- nucleic acid and “nucleic acid” are used interchangeably herein and are understood as a polymeric or oligomeric macromolecule made from nucleotide monomers.
- Nucleotide monomers are composed of a nucleobase, a five-carbon sugar (such as but not limited to ribose or 2′-deoxyribose), and one to three phosphate groups.
- a polynucleotide is formed through phosphodiester bonds between the individual nucleotide monomers.
- nucleic acid molecules include but are not limited to ribonucleic acid (RNA), deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and mixtures thereof such as e.g.
- RNA-DNA hybrids The nucleic acids, can e.g. be synthesized chemically, e.g. in accordance with the phosphotriester method (see, for example, Uhlmann, E. & Peyman, A. (1990) Chemical Reviews, 90, 543-584).
- “Aptamers” are nucleic acids which bind with high affinity to a polypeptide. Aptamers can be isolated by selection methods such as SELEmir146-a (see e.g. Jayasena (1999) Clin. Chem., 45, 1628-50; Klug and Famulok (1994) M. Mol. Biol. Rep., 20, 97-107; U.S. Pat. No.

- F(ab′) 2 fragment fragment antigen
- diabody refers to a fusion protein or a bivalent antibody which can bind different antigens.
- a diabody is composed of two single protein chains which comprise fragments of an antibody, namely variable fragments.
- Diabodies comprise a heavy chain variable domain (V H ) connected to a light-chain variable domain (V L ) on the same polypeptide chain (V H -V L , or V L -V H ). By using a short peptide connecting the two variable domains, the domains are forced to pair with the complementary domain of another chain and thus, create two antigen-binding sites.
- Diabodies can target the same (monospecific) or different antigens (bispecific).
- single domain antibody refers to antibody fragments consisting of a single, monomeric variable domain of an antibody. Simply, they only comprise the monomeric heavy chain variable regions of heavy chain antibodies produced by camelids or cartilaginous fish. Due to their different origins they are also referred to VHH or VNAR (variable new antigen receptor)-fragments.
- single-domain antibodies can be obtained by monomerization of variable domains of conventional mouse or human antibodies by the use of genetic engineering. They show a molecular mass of approximately 12-15 kDa and thus, are the smallest antibody fragments capable of antigen recognition. Further examples include nanobodies or nanoantibodies.
- antibody mimetic refers to compounds which can specifically bind antigens, similar to an antibody, but are not structurally related to antibodies.
- antibody mimetics are artificial peptides or proteins with a molar mass of about 3 to 20 kDa which comprise one, two or more exposed domains specifically binding to an antigen. Examples include inter alia the LACI-D1 (lipoprotein-associated coagulation inhibitor); affilins, e.g.
- Trans-bodies e.g. human transferrin; tetranectins, e.g. monomeric or trimeric human C-type lectin domain; microbodies, e.g. trypsin-inhibitor-II; affilins; armadillo repeat proteins.
- Nucleic acids and small molecules are sometimes considered antibody mimetics as well (aptamers), but not artificial antibodies, antibody fragments and fusion proteins composed from these. Common advantages over antibodies are better solubility, tissue penetration, stability towards heat and enzymes, and comparatively low production costs.
- antigen is used to refer to a substance, preferably an immunogenic peptide that comprises at least one epitope, preferably an epitope that elicits a B or T cell response or B cell and T cell response.
- an “epitope”, also known as antigenic determinant, is that part of a substance, e.g. an immunogenic polypeptide, which is recognized by the immune system. Preferably, this recognition is mediated by the binding of antibodies, B cells, or T cells to the epitope in question.
- binding preferably relates to a specific binding. Epitopes usually consist of chemically active surface groupings of molecules such as amino acids or sugar side chains and usually have specific three-dimensional structural characteristics, as well as specific charge characteristics.
- the term “epitope” comprises both conformational and non-conformational epitopes. Conformational and non-conformational epitopes are distinguished in that the binding to the former but not the latter is lost in the presence of denaturing solvents.
- An immunogenic polypeptide according to the present invention is, preferably, derived from a pathogen selected from the group consisting of viruses, bacteria and protozoa. In particular embodiments.
- the immunogenic polypeptide is a tumor antigen, i.e. polypeptide or fragment of a polypeptide specifically expressed by a cancer.
- sequence identity is used throughout the specification with regard to polypeptide and nucleotide sequence comparisons. In case where two sequences are compared and the reference sequence is not specified in comparison to which the sequence identity percentage is to be calculated, the sequence identity is to be calculated with reference to the longer of the two sequences to be compared, if not specifically indicated otherwise. If the reference sequence is indicated, the sequence identity is determined on the basis of the full length of the reference sequence indicated by SEQ ID, if not specifically indicated otherwise.
- a polypeptide sequence consisting of 200 amino acids compared to a reference 300 amino acid long polypeptide sequence may exhibit a maximum percentage of sequence identity of 66.6% (200/300) while a sequence with a length of 150 amino acids may exhibit a maximum percentage of sequence identity of 50% (150/300). If 15 out of those 150 amino acids are different from the respective amino acids of the 300 amino acid long reference sequence, the level of sequence identity decreases to 45%.
- the similarity of nucleotide and amino acid sequences, i.e. the percentage of sequence identity can be determined via sequence alignments. Such alignments can be carried out with several art-known algorithms, preferably with the mathematical algorithm of Karlin and Altschul (Karlin & Altschul (1993) Proc. Natl.
- HMMER package http://hmmer.wustl.edu/

- leukocyte is used in the context of the present invention to refer to cells of the immune system that are involved in protecting the body against both infectious disease and foreign invaders. All leukocytes are produced and derived from multipotent cells in the bone marrow known as a hematopoietic stem cells. Leukocytes are found throughout the body, including the blood and lymphatic system. All leukocytes have nuclei, which distinguishes them from the other blood cells, the anucleated red blood cells (RBCs) and platelets. Types of leukocyte can be classified in standard ways. Two pairs of the broadest categories classify them either by structure (granulocytes or agranulocytes) or by cell division lineage (myeloid cells or lymphoid cells).

- CD45 + leukocyte cells as defined above unless of clonal origin are a mixed population of different leukocytes which share the common property of expressing CD45 + surface antigen. Accordingly, subpopulations of cells within the diverse group of CD45 + leukocyte cells as defined above are characterized throughout the specification by further functional and/or structural characteristics.
- the term “CD45 + ” indicates that the majority of cells within a population of cells or essentially all cells express the CD45 + surface antigen. In this context and also with reference to other cellular surface antigens, the term “expresses” indicates that the surface antigen is produced within the cell and detectably exposed on the surface of a cell.
- the level of expression and, thus the number of surface antigens detectably exposed on the surface of a cell can vary greatly among different leukocytes.
- a cell is considered to be positive, i.e. is indicated to be “ + ”, for a cellular surface antigen, if at least 5, preferably at least 10 copies of the surface antigen are detectably exposed on the surface of the cell.
- the skilled person is well aware of how to detect, quantify and select for cells, which are positive (or negative) for a given cellular surface antigen. Preferred methods include Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting (FACS).
- fluorescently labelled antibodies are used to bind to cellular surface antigens of a population of cells, the cells are subsequently isolated into single cells and based on fluorescence intensity measured for the single cell, characterized as being positive or negative for the given cellular surface antigen.
- the expression of a given protein is high or low. This means that the protein is detectably expressed in both instances, i.e. is “ + ”, however, at different levels. High and low expression, respectively, will mean different absolute numbers of proteins per cell for different proteins.
- a given protein may be considered to be expressed at high levels if there are more than 500 detectable copies of that protein per cell and to be expressed at low levels if there are between 1 to 50 detectable copies of that protein per cell.
- another protein may be considered to be expressed at high levels, if there are more than 5000 detectable copies and expressed at low levels, if there are between 1 to 500 detectable copies per cell. It is well known in the art how to quantify the number of proteins expressed or produced in a cell using flow cytometry and Becton Dickinson QuantibriteTM bead method (see e.g. Pannu, K. K., 2001, Cytometry. 2001 Dec. 1; 45(4):250-8) or mass spectrometry (see, e.g.
- the term “high expression” of a given protein refers to detectable expression of that protein that is at least 70% of the highest expression level found, i.e. number of copies per cell, in a population of healthy CD45 + leukocytes.
- the term “low expression” of a given protein refers to detectable expression of that protein that is 30% or less of the highest expression level found, i.e. number of copies of that protein per cell, in a population of healthy CD45 + leukocytes.
- the “highest expression level” is determined as the average of the highest expression levels found in healthy CD45 + leukocytes of different subjects.
- preferred subpopulations of cells are characterized as “producing” a given protein. This is understood to mean that the protein is not necessarily detectable on the surface of the cell but may only be present inside the cell.
- the skilled person is well aware how to detect and/or quantify production of a protein inside a cell and/or select cells producing such proteins.
- cell populations can be defined by expression of specific transcription factors. It is well known in the art how to determine expression of a given protein or its encoding mRNA in a population of cells or even in single cells, e.g. using in vivo labeling with antibodies, FISH assays, in vivo single molecule fluorescent microscopy (Crawford, R. et al. Biophys J. (2013) 105(11): 2439) alone or in combination with Fluorescent Activated Cell Sorting (FACS), or by the PrimeFlow technique (e Bioscience), (Adam S. Venable, et. al., (2015) Methods in Molecular Biology).
- differentiated monocyte is used in the context of the present invention to refer to a monocyte differentiated from the committed precursor termed macrophage-DC precursor (MDP) mainly resident in bone marrow (but could be also in the spleen) and differentiate into either dendritic cells or macrophages.
- MDP macrophage-DC precursor
- mice consist of two main subpopulations: (i) CD11b + cell with high expression of CX3CR1, low expression of CCR2 and Ly6C ⁇ and (ii) CD11b + cell with low expression of CX3CR1, high expression of CCR2 and Ly6C + . After leaving the bone marrow, mouse Ly6C + monocytes differentiate into Ly6C monocytes in circulation.
- the differentiated monocyte is not a dendritic cell, which differentiation is controlled by one or more of the following transcription factors: IRF8, NFIL3, BATF3, RELB, PU/1, RBPJ, IIRF4, and/or TCF4, and more preferably is not a dendritic cell.
- Macrophages are tissue-resident professional phagocytes and antigen-presenting cells (APC), which differentiate from circulating peripheral blood monocytes (PBMs).
- APC antigen-presenting cells
- the term “activated macrophage” is used in the context of the present invention to refer to any macrophage that is polarized. Macrophage activation is in general achieved by incubation with interleukins, cytokines and/or growth factors. In particular IL-4 and M-CSF can be used as activating agents. Activated macrophages of different phenotypes are classified into M1-macrophages, classically activated macrophages (CAM) and M2-macrophages, alternatively activated macrophages (AAM).
- CAM classically activated macrophages
- AAM alternatively activated macrophages
- M1-macrophages comprise immune effector cells with an acute inflammatory phenotype. These are highly aggressive against bacteria and produce large amounts of lymphokines (Murray, and Wynn, 2011, J Leukoc Biol, 89(4):557-63).
- the alternatively activated, anti-inflammatory M2-macrophages can be separated into at least three subgroups. These subtypes have various different functions, including regulation of immunity, maintenance of tolerance and tissue repair/wound healing.
- M1 inducer is used in the context of the present invention to refer to a compound that directs differentiation of PBMs to macrophages of the M1 type.
- M2 inducer is used in the context of the present invention to refer to a compound that directs differentiation of PBMs to macrophages of the M2 type.
- the skilled person is aware of a large number of ways to promote differentiation into either M1 or M2 macrophages.
- phagocytosis by macrophages is the process by which a macrophage engulfs a solid particle to form an internal vesicle known as a phagosome.
- iron binding protein refers to a protein that non-covalently binds an iron ion.
- examples of such proteins comprise ferritin, haemoglobin, transferrin; and lactoferrin. Iron binding proteins are bound by cellular surface receptors which facilitate the internalization of these proteins into cells.
- the present invention relates to an isolated targeted delivery system comprising a CD45 + monocyte, CD45 + monocyte-macrophage, CD45 + lymphocyte, CD45 + NK cell and/or CD45 + granulocyte (hereinafter referred to as “CD45 + leukocyte cell”) comprising within said cell a complex of one or more iron binding proteins and a pharmaceutically active substance, label or pharmaceutically active substance and label.
- CD45 + leukocyte cell CD45 + leukocyte cell
- the CD45 + monocyte is not a dendritic cell, which differentiation is controlled by one or more of the following transcription factors: IRF8, NFIL3, BATF3, RELB, PU/1, RBPJ, IIRF4, and/or TCF4, and more preferably is not a dendritic cell.
- CD45 + leukocyte cells preferably activated macrophages, preferably M1 macrophages, more preferably M2 macrophages acquire pharmaceutically active substances, labels or pharmaceutically active substances and labels and deliver the pharmaceutically active substances, labels or pharmaceutically active substances and labels in the amount sufficient (i) to be detected using imaging systems to allowing them to be used to trace their location in the body.
- activated macrophages preferably M1 macrophages and most preferably M2 macrophages.
- a label 18 F-FDG, 89 Zr-oxide
- a label 18 F-FDG, 89 Zr-oxide
- a radioactive label can visualize organ with accumulation of the labelled cells preferably by positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, (ii) to elicit a prophylactic or therapeutic effect or to allow a therapy and diagnosis of a disease at the same time.
- PET positron emission tomography
- the present invention relates to an isolated targeted label delivery system comprising a CD45 + leukocyte cell, preferably capable of being labelled with one or more labels, preferably radiolabels or their conjugates and combinations. It is a preferred embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention that the cell is directly linked to or labelled with label.
- the label maybe within said cell, or on its surface, preferably it is on the surface of the cell.
- CD45 + leukocyte cell or cell population The ability of a given CD45 + leukocyte cell or cell population to internalize iron binding proteins depends on the expression of receptors involved in this internalization process.
- Receptors that lead to internalization of ferritin comprise, e.g. TfR, CXCR4, CD163, and TIM-2.
- TfR Receptors that lead to internalization of ferritin
- CXCR4 CXCR4, CD163, and TIM-2.
- the skilled person is well aware how to measure the amount of uptake of an iron binding protein and preferred method of measuring the uptake are described in the Example Section below.
- subpopulations of CD45 + leukocyte cells have a certain propensity to internalize one iron binding protein over another iron binding protein and, thus can attain higher complex concentrations and/or show less leakage of the complex from the cells.
- Such CD45 + leukocyte subpopulations are described in more detail below.
- complex of one or more iron binding proteins and a pharmaceutically active substance, label or pharmaceutically active substance and label refers to a composition in which one or more molecules of the pharmaceutically active substance, label or pharmaceutically active substance and label are covalently or non-covalently bound to one or more iron binding proteins.
- the covalent or non-covalent binding between the one or more iron binding proteins and the one more pharmaceutically active substance, label or pharmaceutically active substance and label can be direct or indirect. In the latter case the pharmaceutically active substance, label or pharmaceutically active substance and label is linked to the iron binding protein via a linker or spacer.
- Linker or spacers are known to the skilled artisan, such as polyalanine, polyglycin, carbohydrates, (CH 2 )n groups or polypeptide linkers. The skilled artisan will, thus, be able to select the respective suitable linker(s) or spacer(s) depending on the respective application.
- the iron binding proteins form cages like, e.g. ferritin
- the term “complex” also encompasses the enclosure of pharmaceutically active substances, labels or pharmaceutically active substances and labels within the cage even in the absence of a covalent or non-covalent bond between the protein(s) and the active compound(s). The formation of the complex allows the transport of the pharmaceutically active substance, label or pharmaceutically active substance and label into the cell when the cell is internalizing the iron binding protein.
- the pharmaceutically active substances, labels or pharmaceutically active substances and labels are bound to the iron binding protein in a way that does not interfere with the transport mechanism. This can be easily tested by the skilled person using uptake assays known in the art and described in the Example Section below. It is preferred that the complex is sufficiently stable to survive the transport within the cell to the target region within the body. Thus, it is preferred that the complex rather than the pharmaceutically active substance, label or pharmaceutically active substance and label alone is delivered to the cells or into the cells in the target region. This property also reduces possible deleterious effects, e.g. cytotoxicity, of the pharmaceutically active substance, label or pharmaceutically active substance and label to the CD45 + leukocyte cell.
- iron binding proteins used in the context of the present invention can form stable non-covalently bound complexes with a wide variety of pharmaceutically active substances, labels or pharmaceutically active substances and labels.
- the pharmaceutically active substance or label is a peptide, e.g. an antigenic peptide it is preferred that it is not expressed as a fusion with the iron binding protein, since in this case release of the peptide from the iron binding protein will require endosomal processing of the entire iron binding protein peptide fusion protein.
- the CD45 + leukocyte cells originate from the patient to be treated in such case the cell loaded with the complex would be autologous to the patient. It is also envisioned that patients are MHC typed prior to treatment with the targeted delivery of the present invention and that the leukocyte cell type used for a given patient is MHC matched to the patient. In these two preferred embodiments the CD45 + leukocyte cell is a primary cell or derived by a low number of differentiation steps from a primary cell. Alternatively, the CD45 + leukocyte cell may be from an immortalized but preferably non-transformed CD45 + leukocyte cell line. Thus the blood used for CD45 + leukocyte cells, i.e.
- CD45 + monocyte, CD45 + monocyte-macrophage, CD45 + granulocyte, or CD45 + lymphocyte, in particular CD45 + NK cell, isolation is preferably obtained from the patient to be treated or from a healthy donor.
- the blood can be obtained from the blood bank.
- Use of umbilical cord blood is also considered herein.
- the skilled person is well aware how to select CD34 + hematopoietic precursor cells and how to differentiate such cells into leukocytes.
- CD45 + leukocyte cell is used throughout this specification to refer to a CD45 + monocyte, CD45 + monocyte-macrophage, CD45 + lymphocyte and/or CD45 + .
- the monocyte is not a dendritic cell, which differentiation is controlled by one or more of the following transcription factors: IRF8, NFIL3, BATF3, RELB, PU/1, RBPJ, IIRF4, and/or TCF4, and more preferably is not a dendritic cell.
- Preferred subpopulations in these general categories of leukocytes are defined in the following by structural parameters, e.g. presence or absence of a given protein, functional properties and/or method of their production/differentiation.
- the targeted delivery system of the present invention still provides the advantages outlined above, if in a population of cells not every cell has a particular property in as long as the majority of cells within that population has that property.
- the property of one preferred cell of the targeted delivery system of the present invention is described. It is appreciated by the skilled person that a pharmaceutical composition of the present invention will comprises millions of cells and that not every cell within the population will have the functional and/or structural properties outlined herein but that the pharmaceutical composition can nevertheless be used to treat a disease, if the majority of cells share the respective functional and/or structural properties.
- the present inventors have recognized that subpopulations of CD45 + leukocyte cells have particular advantageous properties including among others efficiency and/amount of complex uptake in general, ability to retain the complex within the cell, i.e. to avoid leakage and of target release of the pharmaceutically active substance, label or pharmaceutically active substance and label, efficiency of uptake of a particular iron binding protein and/or targeting to particular tissues or cells and, thus suitability to treat or ameliorate a particular disease.
- the present inventors have, e.g. observed that CD45 + leukocyte cells, which express one or more of the following antigens: CD204, CD206, CD200R, CCR2 have a preference for ferritin uptake over the uptake of other iron binding proteins.
- iron binding protein in the complex is ferritin it is preferred to select CD45 + leukocyte cells that express one or more of the following antigens: CD204, CD206, CD200R, CCR2. Accordingly, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention
- the M1 inducer for differentiating macrophages into M1 macrophages is selected from the group consisting of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), interferon ⁇ (INF- ⁇ ), and viral and bacterial infection and the M2 inducer for differentiating macrophages into M2 macrophages is selected from the group consisting of IL-4, IL-10, IL-13, immune complex of an antigen and antibody, IgG, heat activated gamma-globulin, glucocorticosteroid, tumour growth factor- ⁇ (TGF- ⁇ ), IL-1R, CC-chemokine ligand 2 (CCL-2), IL-6, Macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ⁇ (PPAR ⁇ ) agonist, leukocyte inhibitory factor (LIF), adenosine, helminth and fungal infection.
- LPS lipopolysaccharide
- IFN- ⁇ interferon ⁇
- both complex loaded M1 macrophages and M2 macrophages are suitable for targeted active agent delivery into hypoxic tissues, preferably a tumour or its metastasis.
- hypoxic tissues preferably a tumour or its metastasis.
- this general advantage of M2 macrophages were offset when using a complex comprising haemoglobin and drug, since significantly larger amounts of this complex could be loaded into M1 macrophages than into M2 macrophages.
- this specific tropisms makes M2 macrophages more suitable for treating tumour and diseases characterized by hypoxic tissue.
- CCL2-activated macrophages are particularly suitable to target lymph nodes, preferably inflamed lymph nodes.
- target lymph nodes preferably inflamed lymph nodes.
- the use of such macrophages is preferred in all uses in which the targeting of lymph nodes is desired, in particular for prophylactic or therapeutic vaccination as well as for diagnosis of inflamed lymph nodes. Accordingly, the loading of CCL2-activated macrophages with complexes of iron binding proteins and antigens is preferred.
- the M1 inducer for differentiating monocyte-macrophage cells is selected from the group consisting of LPS, INF- ⁇ or viral or bacterial infection or the M2 inducer for differentiating monocytes is selected from the group consisting of IL-4, ILL-10, IL-13, immune complex of an antigen and antibody, IgG, heat activated gamma-globulins, Glucocorticosteroids, TGF- ⁇ , IL-1R, CCL-2, IL-6, M-CSF, PPAR ⁇ agonist, Leukocyte inhibitory factor (LIF), cancer-conditioned medium, cancer cells, adenosine and helminth or fungal infection.
- LPS Leukocyte inhibitory factor
- monocytes are suitable for targeted active agent delivery into hypoxic tissues, preferably the tumour or its metastasis while monocytes treated with M2 activators are more suitable for targeted active agent delivery into hypoxic tissues, preferably the tumour or its metastasis.
- This specific tropisms make monocytes treated with M2 activators more suitable to targeting tumour and hypoxic sites, e.g. sites of inflammation.
- the iron binding protein is selected from the group consisting of ferritin, preferably heavy (H) type ferritin, light (L) ferritin and/or mitochondrial ferritin; haemoglobin, preferably haemoglobin A, haemoglobin AS, haemoglobin SC, haemoglobin C, haemoglobin D, haemoglobin E, haemoglobin F, haemoglobin H; haemoglobin-haptoglobin complex, haemopexin, transferrin; and lactoferrin.
- ferritin preferably heavy (H) type ferritin, light (L) ferritin and/or mitochondrial ferritin
- haemoglobin preferably haemoglobin A, haemoglobin AS, haemoglobin SC, haemoglobin C, haemoglobin D, haemoglobin E, haemoglobin F, haemoglobin H
- haemoglobin preferably haemoglobin A, haemoglobin AS, haemoglobin SC, haemoglobin C, haemoglobin D, haemoglobin E, haemoglobin F, haemoglobin H; haemoglobin-haptoglobin complex, hemopexin, transferrin; and lactoferrin encompass structural variants of the naturally occurring proteins and, thus relates to proteins that have at least 70%, preferably at least 75%, more preferably at least 80%, more preferably at least 85%, more preferably at least 90%, more preferably at least 95% more preferably at least 100% of the ability of the respective wild-type protein to bind iron ion(s).
- the iron binding proteins used in the context of the present invention are preferably of mammalian, more preferably mouse, rat, dog, ape, in particular, chimpanzee, or human, most preferably of human origin. Consensus sequences of the preferred iron binding proteins used in the context of the present invention are shown in FIG. 1 below. Preferred structural variants are based on the sequences indicated in FIG. 1 .
- the residues marked with X vary among different mammalian ferritins, transferrins, and haemoglobins. The alteration of these residues is not crucial for the ability of the proteins to bind to iron ions. Accordingly, it is preferred that amino acid mutations or deletions effect one or more of the residues marked with an X.
- Plasma proteins have always been privileged carriers for the delivery of active pharma ingredients in cancer therapy.
- albumin the most abundant plasma protein, is currently used in therapeutic protocols for the delivery of taxane molecules and doxorubicin derivatives (Larsen M T et al 2016, Mol Cell Ther 27; 4:3).
- Ferritin has a cage architecture and capability of iron-binding which could be used to encapsulate pharmaceutically active substances and/or labels inside its cavity.
- Ferritins are not abundant in plasma, but can be readily produced in high yield as recombinant proteins in common protein expression vectors such as Escherichia coli cells.
- Ferritins H- or L-chains are encoded as small protein monomer (21 kDa and 19 KDa for H and L chains, respectively) capable of a 24-mer assembly into a cage-like structure, delimiting a 8 nm diameter cavity.
- H-ferritin homopolymers represent a preferred protein construct in order to specifically deliver encapsulated drugs to CD45 + leukocyte cells expressing TfR. Furthermore H-ferritin targets complex pharmaceutically active substances, labels or pharmaceutically active substances and labels to the cell nucleus (and therefore directly delivers DNA-binding proteins into the nucleus.
- Transferrin can be efficiently conjugated to various molecules including anticancer drugs through covalent linkers that are appropriately released inside the cells (Beyer U et al. 1998, J Med Chem 41(15):2701-2708). In case of transferrin, only lysine groups on the protein surface are ready available for covalent attachment.
- Haemoglobin has been considered in the past as a possible drug carrier, due to its versatility in chemical conjugation with drugs, its abundance and relative stability in the blood (Somatogen, 1993, WO1993008842 A1). Nevertheless, the lack of receptor targeting properties did not foster biomedical applications other than blood substitutes or antisickling agent.
- Hb can only be recognized by CD163 (haptoglobin/haemoglobin receptor) epitopes on the leukocytes, especially monocyte-macrophage origin.
- CD45-leukocyte, in particular macrophage based protein delivery, described in this application moved haemoglobin center stage as a target specific carrier of pharmaceutically active substances and/or labels.
- Haemoglobin can be readily covalently linked to appropriate pharmaceutically active substances and/or labels, host hydrophobic pharmaceutically active substances and/or labels within the heme binding pocket or even transport small molecules, e.g. cytotoxic molecules linked to the heme iron. Hb can be easily modified by selective attachment of the appropriate drug conjugate to the beta93 cysteine residue, the only titratable cystein on the protein surface.
- Maleimido functionalized drugs such as the tubuline inhibitor MonomethylAuristatin (MMAE) or the DNA crosslinking drug Pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimer (PBD) are most notable examples of extremely potent cytotoxics that can be readily and specifically attached to the relevant cys beta93 residue.
- MMAE MonomethylAuristatin
- PBD DNA crosslinking drug Pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimer
- lysine residues on the Hb surface may be easily amenable to drug conjugation through cleavable succinimide linkers.
- Haemoglobin also offers a unique capability of releasing non covalently bound heme group at acidic pH values. Apo-haemoglobin thus obtained is capable of hosting several hydrophobic molecules within the empty heme pocket, as shown in the case of paclitaxel (Meng Z et al. 2015 J Pharm Sci 104(3):1045-55) or for labels with fluorescent properties (e.g. chlorine e6, hyperycin, phtalocyanine derivatives) (Dong J et al. J Photochem Photobiol B 2014, 140:163-172).
- haemoglobin (Hb), transferrin (Tf) and ferritins were shown by the present inventors to be privileged carriers of pharmaceutically active substances and labels once loaded into appropriate cell systems with tumour targeting properties, e.g. activated macrophages.
- tumour targeting properties e.g. activated macrophages.
- the easy, fast, cheap and safe purification procedure of these protein also provide a tremendous added value.
- H-type ferritins Based on sequences of mammalian H-type ferritins, L-type ferritins, haemoglobin alpha chains, haemoglobin beta chains and transferrins a consensus sequence was determined for each of these proteins. These are shown in FIG. 1 in SEQ ID NO: 2, 7, 9, 14, 16, 20, and 25, respectively). On this basis but also on the basis of deletion and structural analysis disclosed in the prior art a minimal fragment was determined for H-type ferritins, L-type ferritins, haemoglobin alpha chains, and haemoglobin beta chains sufficient for uptake by CD45 + leukocytes.
- Transferrin comprises a N-terminally located domain and a C-terminally located domain that are necessary for binding iron and uptake by CD45 + leukocytes, if comprised in one polypeptide and positioned between 100 to 450 amino acids apart, preferably between 150 to 400, more preferably between 200 to 350 amino acids and more preferably 250 to 320 amino acids apart.

It is preferred that X in each case takes on the meaning of the amino acid of the respective human iron binding protein aligning with X. This information can be taken, e.g. from FIG. 1 , which shows alignments of the consensus sequences with human an in some instances mouse proteins.

- the covalent and/or non-covalent coupling is indirect through a linker or spacer. If the formation of covalent bonds is desired, relevant thiol, amino or carboxyl groups of the iron binding proteins are used to covalently couple pharmaceutically active substances, labels or pharmaceutically active substances and labels directly or indirectly to the one or more iron binding protein.
- different pharmaceutically active substances, labels or pharmaceutically active substances and labels are comprised in the complex.
- one type of pharmaceutically active substance, label or pharmaceutically active substance and label may be bound to an iron binding protein (non-covalently bound), while another type is encapsulated.

- the present invention relates to the isolated targeted delivery system producible by the method according to the third aspect of the present invention.
- the formation of the adduct between the protein and the pharmaceutically active substance and/or label is preferably by a non-covalent binding to the iron binding protein and can be described as follows:
- pharmaceutically active substances and/or labels can be typically encapsulated within the internal cavity (physical confinement) by exploiting the association dissociation properties of the ferritin macromolecule itself.
- pharmaceutically active substance and/or label molecules are held in place by non-covalent interactions with amino acid residues within the cavity internal surface.
- Haemoglobin macromolecules also offer the possibility of non-covalent binding of selected pharmaceutically active substances and/or labels molecules that may be hosted within the heme binding pocket of haemoglobin itself.
- the heme in the pocket can be displaced and be replaced by pharmaceutically active substances and/or labels with appropriate hydrophobicity profile.
- all proteins considered in the present invention may be covalently attached to pharmaceutically active substance and/or label molecules modified by specific active linker moieties reactive towards thiol or amino groups of the protein itself.
- ferritins or haemoglobin may be linked to cysteine thiol reactive pharmaceutically active substances and/or labels bearing a peptide based cleavable linker (e.g. cathepsin sensitive valine-citrulline sequence and para-aminobenzylcarbamate spacer).
- the antimitotic agent monomethyl auristatin E has been used.
- the peptide-based linker binds the protein to the cytotoxic compound in a stable manner so the drug is not easily released from the protein under physiologic conditions and help prevent toxicity to healthy cells and ensure dosage efficiency.
- the protein pharmaceutically active substance and/or label adduct thus generated is capable of attaching to the selected receptor types, i.e. CD163 for haemoglobin and TfR for ferritin or transferrin, respectively. Once bound the protein pharmaceutically active substance and/or label adduct is internalised by endocytosis and thus selectively taken up by targeted cells.
- the vesicle containing the drug is fused with lysosomes and lysosomal cysteine proteases, particularly cathepsin B start to break down valine-citrulline linker and MMAE is no longer bound to the iron binding protein and is released directly into the tumour environment.
- DM1-SMCC is an efficient mertansine derivative bearing a linker that specifically binds to lysine residues generating a covalent complex with ferritin, haemoglobin or transferrin in a reaction that has been successfully described for antibodies.
- haemoglobin, ferritin or transferrin can be reacted with DM1-SMCC thus providing a covalent protein-drug adduct that can be cleaved inside cells and releases the active drug in a time-dependent manner.
- the suppression of microtubule dynamics by DM1 induces mitotic arrest and cell death.

- the present invention relates to an isolated targeted delivery system of the first aspect or second aspect of the present invention or producible according to the method of the third aspect of the invention for use in preventing, treating or diagnosing a disease characterized by hypoxic areas within the diseases tissue and/or by areas of oxidative stress ( FIG.
- tumours preferably solid tumours and/or its metastases, preferably breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, bladder cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, or a tumour having hypoxic areas, an inflammatory disease, inflamed tissue, preferably inflamed joints or arthritic joints, inflamed lung, inflamed intestine or other inflamed tissue; lymph nodes, preferably inflamed lymph nodes, or other non-physiological lymph nodes that develop during disease preferably but not only during infection, cancer, or autoimmune disease; or ischemic areas, in particular in skin wounds or after organ infarctus (heart) or ischemic retina or for prophylactic or therapeutic vaccination, in particular to prevent or treat an infectious disease or cancer.
- This aspect also includes also of antigens to physiological or non-physiological lymph nodes in order to vaccinate an individual or to induce immune memory.
- treatment includes all types of preventive and/or therapeutic interventions medically allowed for the purpose of cure, temporary remission, prevention, etc. for different purposes including delaying or stopping the progress of a disease, making a lesion regress or disappear, preventing onset, or inhibiting recurrence.
- the targeted delivery system enables tumour delivery of the pharmaceutically active substances, labels or pharmaceutically active substances and labels, which normally would not be able to reach the tumour (for example, due to solubility problems). It also enables the delivery of pharmaceutically active substances, labels or pharmaceutically active substances and labels to the hypoxic tumours or to the hypoxic areas of the tumour. This system also provides for delivery of pharmaceutically active substance, label or pharmaceutically active substance and label to any area within an organism subjected to hypoxic conditions, for example during ischaemic incidents, or undergoing an inflammatory process.
- the present invention provides also the method for targeted delivery into the tumour mass.
- This method comprises preparation of CD45 + leukocytes, preferably activated macrophages which enables highly efficient iron-binding protein (ferritin, haemoglobin and/or transferring) uptake by the macrophages, wherein said ferritin, haemoglobin and/or transferrin carry a pharmaceutically active substance, label or pharmaceutically active substance and label (for example a drug/prodrug), tumour targeting and iron-binding protein transfer to the cancer cell, where the pharmaceutically active substance, label or pharmaceutically active substance and label is released.

- CD45 + leukocytes preferably activated macrophages loaded with iron-binding proteins linked with a drug/prodrug
- Unsatisfactory response of the tumours to chemotherapy or difficulties in their detection using imaging methods are mainly related to an altered penetration of the anticancer drugs to the hypoxic areas due to poor vasculature.
- these avascular regions attract CD45 + leukocytes, preferably activated macrophages to migrate even in areas far away from blood vessels. Therefore, they constitute a delivery system of particles to the tumour mass.
- a promising example of such particles is iron-binding protein.
- when used as single agents they do not reach hypoxic regions, similarly to other compounds and accumulate in other organs.
- CD45 + leukocytes monocytes, macrophages, lymphocytes and/or granulocytes
- activated macrophages treating cells with iron-binding protein solution as it is described in examples.

- Macrophages prepared as above are injected into the tail vein of animal with the tumour (appropriate number of macrophages should be adjusted to the tumour size, stage of development and presence of metastases). As it is shown on FIGS. 2, and 17 they specifically reach the tumour (after a few hrs) and also disperse in other organs of the whole animal ( FIG. 18 ). Moreover, as it is shown on FIG. 19 , in hypoxic model they are also able to migrate to the avascular and hypoxic sites and to transfer carrier proteins to cancer cells ( FIGS. 3, and 20 ).
- the 1-10 millions of macrophages loaded with ferritin encapsulated cyclophosphamide, melphalan and ferritin encapsulated chlorambucil were injected i.v. into the tumour-bearing mice (300 000-500 000 of EMT6 cells injected into the skin flank).
- the targeting of the targeted delivery system described in present invention can be followed by coupling the ferritin to a contrast agent.
- a contrast agent in this case: ferrihydrite
- isotope e.g. 123 I
- labeled with isotope in this case 89 Zr-oxide or 18F-FDG
- FIG. 21 they can be easily detected by MRI, PET or SPECT.
- mammary-tumour bearing mice were imaged using MRI at 3, 22 and 24 hours after i.v.
- Macrophages were also labeled with 89 Zr-oxide or 18 F-FDG (5-50 mln) and their radioactivity was confirmed to be imaged using PET after i.v. administration to the tumour-bearing mice. These mice were inoculated with 4T1 metastatic cell line 3 weeks before the experiment and metastases in the lungs, liver and spleen were histopatologically confirmed. At FIG. 21 it is seen that macrophages migrated to the regions with metastatic tumours allowing their visualization at PET.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to an isolated cellular targeted delivery system comprising a CD45+ leukocyte cell comprising within said cell a complex of one or more iron binding proteins and an active pharmaceutically active substance and/or label as well as methods for producing such isolated cellular targeted delivery system and uses of such system for prophylaxis, therapy, diagnosis or theragnosis, in particular for prophylactic or therapeutic vaccination, therapy of cancer, particularly metastatic cancer or inflammatory diseases.
- Current imaging tools are capable of detecting large metastases (larger than 0.5-1 cm in size). However, they rarely detect the early spread of metastatic tumour cells. Human metastases smaller than 0.5 cm are avascular so without proper blood and oxygen supply. It means that the delivery of contrast agents through the blood circulation for the purpose of labelling these metastases and imaging them is not possible. The presence of hypoxia is a common characteristic of micrometastases where hypoxic fraction may be as high as 90% with little or no blood perfusion (Li, et al. 2012, Journal of Solid Tumours, 2(2): 28-33). Thus, severe hypoxia is considered as a general feature of micro-metastases.
- The targeting of one or more micrometastases hidden within a large population of normal cells presents a unique challenge since access to the micrometastases is impeded by several bio-barriers, poor blood supply, further obstacles are presented by small size of the micrometastases and their dispersion to organs.
- For the same reason micrometastases are often refractive to therapy. While the solid tumours from which the micrometastases have originated often respond well to conventional therapy there is often regrowth at the site of the primary tumour or at sites of metastasis. This constitutes a serious problem in clinical oncology (Muthana, et al. 2012, Cancer Res; 73(2); 490-495). It is related to characteristics of the microenvironment of solid tumours that limit drug penetration, thereby exposing the tumour to lower than efficacious concentrations of drugs (Hobbs, et al. 1998, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA: 4607-4612). This is caused by inadequate vasculature resulting in: high heterogeneity of cancer cells, low oxygen tension (hypoxia), low pH and low glucose concentration within the mass (Kizaka-Kondoh, et al., 2003, Cancer Sci 94(12):1021-1028). Additionally, rapid tumour cell proliferation in some areas might outpace the rate of new blood vessel growth, promoting formation of hypoxic area (Lewis and Murdoch, 2005, Am J Pathol 167(3):627-635). This abnormal vessel architecture and, subsequently, their impaired function resulting in tumour hypoxia is associated with a more malignant phenotype and poor survival in patients suffering from solid tumours and results in both treatment failure due to decreased drug uptake and hypoxia-inducible changes in cancer cells (Sun, et al., 2012, Clin Cancer Res 18(3):758-770; Sullivan, et al., 2008 Mol Cancer Ther 7(7):1961-1973; Kizaka-Kondoh, et al., 2003, Cancer Sci 94(12):1021-1028). Moreover, chemotherapy or radiotherapy causes additional formation of large areas of tumour hypoxia thus making the treatment of tumour even more difficult. The fact that the efficacy of anticancer therapy is limited by the presence of hypoxic tumour cells has resulted in the introduction of variety of therapeutic approaches aimed at overcoming this problem.
- The present inventors have discovered that CD45+ leukocyte cells, in particular activated macrophages, their precursors monocytes, lymphocytes and granulocytes can uptake pharmaceutically active substances, labels or pharmaceutically active substances and labels complexed with one or more iron binding proteins in vitro and deliver these complexes to or into cells, preferably to or into tumour cells in vivo or other cells undergoing stress (e.g. oxidative stress). Based on this observation the present inventors have overcome one or more of the above stated problems of the prior art.

Sambrook et al. eds., Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor 1989).
- Throughout this specification and the claims which follow, unless the context requires otherwise, the word “comprise”, and variations such as “comprises” and “comprising”, will be understood to imply the inclusion of a stated integer or step or group of integers or steps but not the exclusion of any other integer or step or group of integers or steps. As used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a”, “an”, and “the” include plural referents, unless the content clearly dictates otherwise.
- The term “targeted pharmaceutically active substance delivery” refers to the delivery of a pharmaceutically active substance to a patient which results in an increased concentration of the pharmaceutically active substance in a particular region of the body when compared to other regions of the body of that patient. Preferably, the relative concentrations are compared between the diseased region(s) of the body and other regions of the body having similar access to the blood circulation. In preferred embodiments the concentration of the pharmaceutically active substance in a given number of cells or a given biopsy volume from the diseased region is at least 10% higher, if compared to the identical number of cells or biopsy volume from a non-diseased region after administration of the targeted pharmaceutically active substance delivery system of the present invention, preferably after 2-24 hrs. More preferably, the concentration of the pharmaceutically active substance in the diseased region of the body of a patient is at least 20%, at least 30%, at least 40%, at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70% at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 100%, at least 150%, at least 200%, at least 250%, at least 300%, at least 350%, at least 400%, at least 450%, at least 500%, more preferably at least 1000% higher than in a non-diseased region of the body after administration of the targeted pharmaceutically active substance delivery system of the present invention, preferably after 2-24 hrs. When assessed on the basis of total body distribution it is preferred that at least 5% of the pharmaceutically active substance administered to a patient is delivered to the diseased region of the body, preferably at least 10%, more preferably at least 15%. The targeted delivery of the pharmaceutically active substance limits the potential deleterious effects of a pharmaceutically active substance to the diseased region of the body.
- The term “targeted label delivery” or “targeted contrast agent delivery” refers to the delivery of a label, in particular a contrast agent to a patient or a person to be diagnosed which results in an increased concentration of the label, in particular the contrast agent in a particular region of the body when compared to other regions of the body of that patient. Preferably, the relative concentrations are compared between the diseased region(s) of the body and other regions of the body having similar access to the blood circulation. In preferred embodiments the concentration of the label, in particular a contrast agent in a given number of cells or a given biopsy volume from the diseased region is at least 10% higher, if compared to the identical number of cells or biopsy volume from a non-diseased region after administration of the targeted delivery system of the present invention, preferably after 1-24 hrs. More preferably, the concentration of the label, in particular the contrast agent in the diseased region of the body of a patient is at least 20%, at least 30%, at least 40%, at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70% at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 100%, at least 150%, at least 200%, at least 250%, at least 300%, at least 350%, at least 400%, at least 450%, at least 500%, more preferably at least 1000% higher than in a non-diseased region of the body after administration of the targeted delivery system of the present invention, preferably after 2-24 hrs. When assessed on the basis of total body distribution it is preferred that at least 5% of the label, in particular the contrast agent administered to a patient or a person to be diagnosed is delivered to the diseased region of the body, preferably at least 10%, more preferably at least 15%. The targeted delivery of the label, in particular the contrast agent limits the potential deleterious effects of an label, in particular the contrast agent to the diseased region of the body.
- The term “targeted theragnostic delivery” has a similar meaning as set out above for “targeted pharmaceutically active substance” and “targeted label delivery, however instead of only delivering a pharmaceutical active substance or a label the complex of the iron binding protein comprises in this embodiment both a pharmaceutically active substance and a label, thereby allowing the concomitant delivery of both a pharmaceutically active substance and a label.
- The term “targeted pharmaceutically active substance delivery system” is used in the present application to refer to a system that is capable of delivering a pharmaceutically active substance to the targeted region, i.e. capable of targeted delivery within the body of a patient, preferably to a diseased region.
- The term “targeted label delivery system” is used in the present application to refer to a system that is capable of delivering a label to the targeted region, i.e. capable of targeted delivery within the body of a patient, preferably to a diseased region.
- The term “targeted theragnostic delivery system” is used in the present application to refer to a system that is capable of delivering a complex of a pharmaceutically active substance and at the same time a label to the targeted region, i.e. capable of targeted delivery within the body of a patient, preferably to a diseased region and thus allows simultaneous treatment and diagnosis and/or treatment monitoring.
- The term “targeted delivery system” is used to commonly refer to “targeted pharmaceutically active substance delivery system”, “targeted label delivery system” and “targeted theragnostic delivery system”
- The term “pharmaceutically active substance” is used in the context of the present invention to refer to a substance that modifies or modulates cell activity, preferably a cell activity that leads to a disease in a patient. The term encompasses both substances which are already pharmaceutically active or which are capable of being activated, i.e. a prodrug. Examples of such pharmaceutically active substances include so called (i) “small molecules”, (ii) polynucleotides and (iii) peptide or proteins. The term “small molecule” is used in the context of the present invention to refer to a hydrocarbon with a molecular mass of below 1.500 g/mol or to pharmaceutically active radioactive isotopes. Preferred, drugs that can be used comprise anti-cancer drugs, pharmaceutically active radioactive isotopes or ferrihydrite.
- The term “prodrug” as used in the context of the present invention refers to any active ingredient that, after administration, is metabolized or otherwise converted to a biologically active or more active ingredient (or drug) with respect to at least one property. In comparison to the drug, a prodrug is modified chemically in a manner that makes it, relative to the drug, less active or inactive, but the chemical modification is such that the corresponding drug is generated by metabolic or other biological processes after the prodrug is administered to the patient. A prodrug may for example have, relative to the active drug, altered metabolic stability or transport characteristics, fewer side effects or lower toxicity, or improved flavor (for example, see the reference Nogrady, 1985, Medicinal Chemistry A Biochemical Approach, Oxford University Press, New York, pages 388-392, incorporated herein by reference). A prodrug may be synthesized using reactants other than the corresponding drug.
- The terms “polynucleotide” and “nucleic acid” are used interchangeably herein and are understood as a polymeric or oligomeric macromolecule made from nucleotide monomers. Nucleotide monomers are composed of a nucleobase, a five-carbon sugar (such as but not limited to ribose or 2′-deoxyribose), and one to three phosphate groups. Typically, a polynucleotide is formed through phosphodiester bonds between the individual nucleotide monomers. In the context of the present invention referred to nucleic acid molecules include but are not limited to ribonucleic acid (RNA), deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and mixtures thereof such as e.g. RNA-DNA hybrids. The nucleic acids, can e.g. be synthesized chemically, e.g. in accordance with the phosphotriester method (see, for example, Uhlmann, E. & Peyman, A. (1990) Chemical Reviews, 90, 543-584). “Aptamers” are nucleic acids which bind with high affinity to a polypeptide. Aptamers can be isolated by selection methods such as SELEmir146-a (see e.g. Jayasena (1999) Clin. Chem., 45, 1628-50; Klug and Famulok (1994) M. Mol. Biol. Rep., 20, 97-107; U.S. Pat. No. 5,582,981) from a large pool of different single-stranded RNA molecules. Aptamers can also be synthesized and selected in their mirror-image form, for example as the L-ribonucleotide (Nolte et al. (1996) Nat. Biotechnol., 14, 1116-9; Klussmann et al. (1996) Nat. Biotechnol., 14, 1112-5). Forms which have been isolated in this way enjoy the advantage that they are not degraded by naturally occurring ribonucleases and, therefore, possess greater stability.
- The term “peptide” or “polypeptide” is used interchangeably in the context of the present invention to refer to a chain of at least two amino acids linked by peptide bonds. Thus, the term “peptide” in the context of the present invention is also used to refer to amino acid chains with more than 50, more than 100 or more than 150 amino acids.
- The term “antibody” as used in the context of the present invention refers to a glycoprotein belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily; the terms antibody and immunoglobulin are often used interchangeably. An antibody refers to a protein molecule produced by plasma cells and is used by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign objects such as bacteria and viruses. The antibody recognizes a unique part of the foreign target, its antigen.
- The term “antibody fragment” as used herein, refers to one or more fragments of an antibody that retain the ability to specifically bind to an antigen. Examples of binding fragments encompassed within the term “antibody fragment” include a fragment antigen binding (Fab) fragment, a Fab′ fragment, a F(ab′)2 fragment, a heavy chain antibody, a single-domain antibody (sdAb), a single-chain fragment variable (scFv), a fragment variable (Fv), a VH domain, a VL domain, a single domain antibody, a nanobody, an IgNAR (immunoglobulin new antigen receptor), a di-scFv, a bispecific T-cell engager (BITEs), a dual affinity re-targeting (DART) molecule, a triple body, a diabody, a single-chain diabody, an alternative scaffold protein, and a fusion protein thereof.
- The term “diabody” as used within this specification refers to a fusion protein or a bivalent antibody which can bind different antigens. A diabody is composed of two single protein chains which comprise fragments of an antibody, namely variable fragments. Diabodies comprise a heavy chain variable domain (VH) connected to a light-chain variable domain (VL) on the same polypeptide chain (VH-VL, or VL-VH). By using a short peptide connecting the two variable domains, the domains are forced to pair with the complementary domain of another chain and thus, create two antigen-binding sites. Diabodies can target the same (monospecific) or different antigens (bispecific).
- A “single domain antibody”, refers to antibody fragments consisting of a single, monomeric variable domain of an antibody. Simply, they only comprise the monomeric heavy chain variable regions of heavy chain antibodies produced by camelids or cartilaginous fish. Due to their different origins they are also referred to VHH or VNAR (variable new antigen receptor)-fragments. Alternatively, single-domain antibodies can be obtained by monomerization of variable domains of conventional mouse or human antibodies by the use of genetic engineering. They show a molecular mass of approximately 12-15 kDa and thus, are the smallest antibody fragments capable of antigen recognition. Further examples include nanobodies or nanoantibodies.
- The term “antibody mimetic” as used within the context of the present specification refers to compounds which can specifically bind antigens, similar to an antibody, but are not structurally related to antibodies. Usually, antibody mimetics are artificial peptides or proteins with a molar mass of about 3 to 20 kDa which comprise one, two or more exposed domains specifically binding to an antigen. Examples include inter alia the LACI-D1 (lipoprotein-associated coagulation inhibitor); affilins, e.g. human-γ B crystalline or human ubiquitin; cystatin; Sac7D from Sulfolobus acidocaldarius; lipocalin and anticalins derived from lipocalins; DARPins (designed ankyrin repeat domains); SH3 domain of Fyn; Kunits domain of protease inhibitors; monobodies, e.g. the 10th type III domain of fibronectin; adnectins: knottins (cysteine knot miniproteins); atrimers; evibodies, e.g. CTLA4-based binders, affibodies, e.g. three-helix bundle from Z-domain of protein A from Staphylococcus aureus; Trans-bodies, e.g. human transferrin; tetranectins, e.g. monomeric or trimeric human C-type lectin domain; microbodies, e.g. trypsin-inhibitor-II; affilins; armadillo repeat proteins. Nucleic acids and small molecules are sometimes considered antibody mimetics as well (aptamers), but not artificial antibodies, antibody fragments and fusion proteins composed from these. Common advantages over antibodies are better solubility, tissue penetration, stability towards heat and enzymes, and comparatively low production costs.
- The term “antigen” is used to refer to a substance, preferably an immunogenic peptide that comprises at least one epitope, preferably an epitope that elicits a B or T cell response or B cell and T cell response.
- An “epitope”, also known as antigenic determinant, is that part of a substance, e.g. an immunogenic polypeptide, which is recognized by the immune system. Preferably, this recognition is mediated by the binding of antibodies, B cells, or T cells to the epitope in question. In this context, the term “binding” preferably relates to a specific binding. Epitopes usually consist of chemically active surface groupings of molecules such as amino acids or sugar side chains and usually have specific three-dimensional structural characteristics, as well as specific charge characteristics. The term “epitope” comprises both conformational and non-conformational epitopes. Conformational and non-conformational epitopes are distinguished in that the binding to the former but not the latter is lost in the presence of denaturing solvents.
- An immunogenic polypeptide according to the present invention is, preferably, derived from a pathogen selected from the group consisting of viruses, bacteria and protozoa. In particular embodiments. However, in an alternative embodiment of the present invention the immunogenic polypeptide is a tumor antigen, i.e. polypeptide or fragment of a polypeptide specifically expressed by a cancer.
- The term “sequence identity” is used throughout the specification with regard to polypeptide and nucleotide sequence comparisons. In case where two sequences are compared and the reference sequence is not specified in comparison to which the sequence identity percentage is to be calculated, the sequence identity is to be calculated with reference to the longer of the two sequences to be compared, if not specifically indicated otherwise. If the reference sequence is indicated, the sequence identity is determined on the basis of the full length of the reference sequence indicated by SEQ ID, if not specifically indicated otherwise. For example, a polypeptide sequence consisting of 200 amino acids compared to a reference 300 amino acid long polypeptide sequence may exhibit a maximum percentage of sequence identity of 66.6% (200/300) while a sequence with a length of 150 amino acids may exhibit a maximum percentage of sequence identity of 50% (150/300). If 15 out of those 150 amino acids are different from the respective amino acids of the 300 amino acid long reference sequence, the level of sequence identity decreases to 45%. The similarity of nucleotide and amino acid sequences, i.e. the percentage of sequence identity, can be determined via sequence alignments. Such alignments can be carried out with several art-known algorithms, preferably with the mathematical algorithm of Karlin and Altschul (Karlin & Altschul (1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90: 5873-5877), with hmmalign (HMMER package, http://hmmer.wustl.edu/) or with the CLUSTAL algorithm (Thompson, J. D., Higgins, D. G. & Gibson, T. J. (1994) Nucleic Acids Res. 22, 4673-80) available e.g. on http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/clustalw/ or on http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/clustalw2/index.html or on http://npsa-pbil.ibcp.fr/cgi-bin/npsa_automat.pl?page=/NPSA/npsa_clustalw.html. Preferred parameters used are the default parameters as they are set on http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/clustalw/ or http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/clustalw2/index.html. The grade of sequence identity (sequence matching) may be calculated using e.g. BLAST, BLAT or BlastZ (or BlastX). BLAST protein searches are performed with the BLASTP program, score=50, word length=3. To obtain gapped alignments for comparative purposes, Gapped BLAST is utilized as described in Altschul et al. (1997) Nucleic Acids Res. 25: 3389-3402. When utilizing BLAST and Gapped BLAST programs, the default parameters of the respective programs are used. Sequence matching analysis may be supplemented by established homology mapping techniques like Shuffle-LAGAN (Brudno M.,
Bioinformatics 2003b, 19 Suppl 1:154-162) or Markov random fields. Structure based alignments for multiple protein sequences and/or structures using information from sequence database searches, available homologs with 3D structures and user-defined constraints may also be used (Pei J, Grishin N V: PROMALS: towards accurate multiple sequence alignments of distantly related proteins. Bioinformatics 2007, 23:802-808; 3DCoffee@igs: a web server for combining sequences and structures into a multiple sequence alignment. Poirot O, Suhre K, Abergel C, O'Toole E, Notredame C. Nucleic Acids Res. 2004 Jul. 1; 32:W37-40.). When percentages of sequence identity are referred to in the present application, these percentages are calculated in relation to the full length of the longer sequence, if not specifically indicated otherwise. - The term “label” as used in the context of the present invention refers to any kind of compound being suitable for diagnostic purposes. Preferred compounds are selected from a fluorescent dye, a radioisotope and a contrast agent. A contrast agent is a dye or other substance that helps to show abnormal areas inside the body. In one embodiment the term label refers to a compound that comprises a chelating agent which forms a complex with divalent or trivalent metal cations. Preferred radioisotopes/fluorescence emitting isotopes are selected from the group consisting of alpha radiation emitting isotopes, gamma radiation emitting isotopes, Auger electron emitting isotopes, X-ray emitting isotopes, fluorescent isotopes, such as 65Tb, fluorescence emitting isotopes, such as 18F, 51Cr, 67Ga, 69Ga, 111In, 99mTc, 140La, 175Yb, 153Sm, 166Ho, 88Y, 89Zr, 90Y, 149Pm, 177Lu, 47Sc, 142Pr, 159Gd, 212Bi, 72As, 72Se, 97Ru, 109Pd, 105Rh, 101m15Rh, 119Sb, 128Ba, 123I, 124I, 131I, 197Hg, 211At, 169Eu, 203Pb, 212Pb, 64Cu, 67Cu, 188Re, 186Re, 198Au and 199Ag as well as conjugates, compounds comprising such isotopes and combinations of above with proteins, peptides, small molecular inhibitors, antibodies or other compounds, e.g. 18F fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG), 89Zr-oxide or 64Cu-porfirin. Preferred fluorescent dyes are selected from the following classes of dyes: Xanthens (e.g. Fluorescein), Acridines (e.g. Acridine Yellow), Oxazines (e.g. Oxazine 1), Cynines (e.g. Cy7/Cy 3), Styryl dyes (e.g. Dye-28), Coumarines (e.g. Alexa Fluor 350), Porphines (e.g. Chlorophyll B), Metal-Ligand-Complexes (e.g. PtOEPK), Fluorescent proteins (e.g APC, R-Phycoerythrin), Nanocrystals (e.g QuantumDot 705), Perylenes (e.g. Lumogen Red F300) and Phtalocyanines (e.g. IRDYE™700DX) as well as conjugates and combinations of these classes of dyes or fluorescent 65Tb emitting. Preferred contrast agents are selected from paramagnetic agents, e.g. Gd, Eu, W and Mn, preferably complexed with a chelating agent. Further options are superparamagnetic iron (Fe) complexes and particles, compounds containing atoms of high atomic number, i.e. iodine for computer tomography (CT), microbubbles and carriers such as liposomes that contain these contrast agents.
- The term “leukocyte” is used in the context of the present invention to refer to cells of the immune system that are involved in protecting the body against both infectious disease and foreign invaders. All leukocytes are produced and derived from multipotent cells in the bone marrow known as a hematopoietic stem cells. Leukocytes are found throughout the body, including the blood and lymphatic system. All leukocytes have nuclei, which distinguishes them from the other blood cells, the anucleated red blood cells (RBCs) and platelets. Types of leukocyte can be classified in standard ways. Two pairs of the broadest categories classify them either by structure (granulocytes or agranulocytes) or by cell division lineage (myeloid cells or lymphoid cells). These broadest categories can be further divided into the five main types: neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes. These types are distinguished by their physical and functional characteristics. Monocytes and neutrophils are phagocytic. Further subtypes can be classified; for example, among lymphocytes, there are B cells, T cells, and NK cells. Granulocytes are distinguished from agranulocytes by their nucleus shape (lobed versus round, that is, polymorphonuclear versus mononuclear) and by their cytoplasm granules (present or absent, or more precisely, visible on light microscopy or not thus visible). The other dichotomy is by lineage: Myeloid cells (neutrophils, monocytes, eosinophils and basophils) are distinguished from lymphoid cells (lymphocytes) by hematopoietic lineage (cellular differentiation lineage).
- The present inventors have observed that CD45+ expression is characteristic of a subgroup of leukocyte cells, i.e. monocyte, monocyte-macrophages, lymphocytes, granulocytes, NK cells that are suitable to be used in the context of the targeted delivery system of the present invention, in particular since CD45+ leukocyte cells are attracted to particular tissues and cells within the body and are capable of delivering complexes of one or more iron binding proteins and one or more pharmaceutically active substances, labels or pharmaceutically active substances and labels to or into cells. This subgroup of leukocytes is in the following referred to as “CD45+ leukocyte cells” or “CD45+ leukocytes”. Preferably the monocyte is not a dendritic cell which differentiation is controlled by one or more of the following transcription factors: IFN-regulatory factor 8 (IRF8), nuclear factor interleukin (IL)-3-regulated protein (NFIL3), basic leucine zipper transcriptional factor ATF-like 3 (BATF3) or Transcription Factor ReB (NF-KB Subunit)—RELB, Spi-1 Proto-Oncogene (PU/1), recombining binding protein suppressor of hairless (RBPJ), IFN-regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) or transcription factor E2-2 (also known as (TCF4).
- It is understood by the skilled person that CD45+ leukocyte cells as defined above unless of clonal origin are a mixed population of different leukocytes which share the common property of expressing CD45+ surface antigen. Accordingly, subpopulations of cells within the diverse group of CD45+ leukocyte cells as defined above are characterized throughout the specification by further functional and/or structural characteristics. The term “CD45+” indicates that the majority of cells within a population of cells or essentially all cells express the CD45+ surface antigen. In this context and also with reference to other cellular surface antigens, the term “expresses” indicates that the surface antigen is produced within the cell and detectably exposed on the surface of a cell. The level of expression and, thus the number of surface antigens detectably exposed on the surface of a cell can vary greatly among different leukocytes. Generally, a cell is considered to be positive, i.e. is indicated to be “+”, for a cellular surface antigen, if at least 5, preferably at least 10 copies of the surface antigen are detectably exposed on the surface of the cell. The skilled person is well aware of how to detect, quantify and select for cells, which are positive (or negative) for a given cellular surface antigen. Preferred methods include Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting (FACS). In this technology fluorescently labelled antibodies are used to bind to cellular surface antigens of a population of cells, the cells are subsequently isolated into single cells and based on fluorescence intensity measured for the single cell, characterized as being positive or negative for the given cellular surface antigen. In some embodiments of the present invention it is indicated that the expression of a given protein is high or low. This means that the protein is detectably expressed in both instances, i.e. is “+”, however, at different levels. High and low expression, respectively, will mean different absolute numbers of proteins per cell for different proteins. Thus, a given protein may be considered to be expressed at high levels if there are more than 500 detectable copies of that protein per cell and to be expressed at low levels if there are between 1 to 50 detectable copies of that protein per cell. However, another protein may be considered to be expressed at high levels, if there are more than 5000 detectable copies and expressed at low levels, if there are between 1 to 500 detectable copies per cell. It is well known in the art how to quantify the number of proteins expressed or produced in a cell using flow cytometry and Becton Dickinson Quantibrite™ bead method (see e.g. Pannu, K. K., 2001, Cytometry. 2001 Dec. 1; 45(4):250-8) or mass spectrometry (see, e.g. Milo, R., 2013, Bioessays, 35(12): 1050-1055). For the purpose of the present invention the term “high expression” of a given protein refers to detectable expression of that protein that is at least 70% of the highest expression level found, i.e. number of copies per cell, in a population of healthy CD45+ leukocytes. The term “low expression” of a given protein refers to detectable expression of that protein that is 30% or less of the highest expression level found, i.e. number of copies of that protein per cell, in a population of healthy CD45+ leukocytes. Preferably, the “highest expression level” is determined as the average of the highest expression levels found in healthy CD45+ leukocytes of different subjects. In some embodiments preferred subpopulations of cells are characterized as “producing” a given protein. This is understood to mean that the protein is not necessarily detectable on the surface of the cell but may only be present inside the cell. The skilled person is well aware how to detect and/or quantify production of a protein inside a cell and/or select cells producing such proteins. Alternatively, cell populations can be defined by expression of specific transcription factors. It is well known in the art how to determine expression of a given protein or its encoding mRNA in a population of cells or even in single cells, e.g. using in vivo labeling with antibodies, FISH assays, in vivo single molecule fluorescent microscopy (Crawford, R. et al. Biophys J. (2013) 105(11): 2439) alone or in combination with Fluorescent Activated Cell Sorting (FACS), or by the PrimeFlow technique (e Bioscience), (Adam S. Venable, et. al., (2015) Methods in Molecular Biology).
- The term “differentiated monocyte” is used in the context of the present invention to refer to a monocyte differentiated from the committed precursor termed macrophage-DC precursor (MDP) mainly resident in bone marrow (but could be also in the spleen) and differentiate into either dendritic cells or macrophages. In mice they consist of two main subpopulations: (i) CD11b+ cell with high expression of CX3CR1, low expression of CCR2 and Ly6C− and (ii) CD11b+ cell with low expression of CX3CR1, high expression of CCR2 and Ly6C+. After leaving the bone marrow, mouse Ly6C+ monocytes differentiate into Ly6C monocytes in circulation. Similarly, in human monocyte differentiation, it is accepted that CD14++ classical monocytes leave bone marrow and differentiate into CD14++CD16+ intermediate monocytes and sequentially to CD14+CD16++ non-classical monocytes in peripheral blood circulation (Yang et al. 2014; Biomark Res 2(1) doi. 10.1186/2050-7771-2-1). Preferably the differentiated monocyte is not a dendritic cell, which differentiation is controlled by one or more of the following transcription factors: IRF8, NFIL3, BATF3, RELB, PU/1, RBPJ, IIRF4, and/or TCF4, and more preferably is not a dendritic cell.
- Macrophages are tissue-resident professional phagocytes and antigen-presenting cells (APC), which differentiate from circulating peripheral blood monocytes (PBMs). The term “activated macrophage” is used in the context of the present invention to refer to any macrophage that is polarized. Macrophage activation is in general achieved by incubation with interleukins, cytokines and/or growth factors. In particular IL-4 and M-CSF can be used as activating agents. Activated macrophages of different phenotypes are classified into M1-macrophages, classically activated macrophages (CAM) and M2-macrophages, alternatively activated macrophages (AAM). The classically activated M1-macrophages comprise immune effector cells with an acute inflammatory phenotype. These are highly aggressive against bacteria and produce large amounts of lymphokines (Murray, and Wynn, 2011, J Leukoc Biol, 89(4):557-63). The alternatively activated, anti-inflammatory M2-macrophages can be separated into at least three subgroups. These subtypes have various different functions, including regulation of immunity, maintenance of tolerance and tissue repair/wound healing. The term “M1 inducer” is used in the context of the present invention to refer to a compound that directs differentiation of PBMs to macrophages of the M1 type. The term “M2 inducer” is used in the context of the present invention to refer to a compound that directs differentiation of PBMs to macrophages of the M2 type. The skilled person is aware of a large number of ways to promote differentiation into either M1 or M2 macrophages.
- The term “phagocytosis by macrophages” is the process by which a macrophage engulfs a solid particle to form an internal vesicle known as a phagosome.
- The term “iron binding protein” as used refers to a protein that non-covalently binds an iron ion. Examples of such proteins comprise ferritin, haemoglobin, transferrin; and lactoferrin. Iron binding proteins are bound by cellular surface receptors which facilitate the internalization of these proteins into cells.
- In a first aspect the present invention relates to an isolated targeted delivery system comprising a CD45+ monocyte, CD45+ monocyte-macrophage, CD45+ lymphocyte, CD45+ NK cell and/or CD45+ granulocyte (hereinafter referred to as “CD45+ leukocyte cell”) comprising within said cell a complex of one or more iron binding proteins and a pharmaceutically active substance, label or pharmaceutically active substance and label.
- Preferably the CD45+ monocyte is not a dendritic cell, which differentiation is controlled by one or more of the following transcription factors: IRF8, NFIL3, BATF3, RELB, PU/1, RBPJ, IIRF4, and/or TCF4, and more preferably is not a dendritic cell.
- It has been surprisingly found by the present inventors that CD45+ leukocyte cells, preferably activated macrophages, preferably M1 macrophages, more preferably M2 macrophages acquire pharmaceutically active substances, labels or pharmaceutically active substances and labels and deliver the pharmaceutically active substances, labels or pharmaceutically active substances and labels in the amount sufficient (i) to be detected using imaging systems to allowing them to be used to trace their location in the body. In case of 18F-FDG this was particularly preferable in case of monocytes and activated monocytes, macrophages, activated macrophages, preferably M1 macrophages and most preferably M2 macrophages. Administration of cells-loaded with a label (18F-FDG, 89Zr-oxide), preferably radioactive label can visualize organ with accumulation of the labelled cells preferably by positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, (ii) to elicit a prophylactic or therapeutic effect or to allow a therapy and diagnosis of a disease at the same time.
- In a second aspect the present invention relates to an isolated targeted label delivery system comprising a CD45+ leukocyte cell, preferably capable of being labelled with one or more labels, preferably radiolabels or their conjugates and combinations. It is a preferred embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention that the cell is directly linked to or labelled with label. The label maybe within said cell, or on its surface, preferably it is on the surface of the cell.
- The following preferred embodiments in each case further specify both the first and second aspect of the present invention.
- The ability of a given CD45+ leukocyte cell or cell population to internalize iron binding proteins depends on the expression of receptors involved in this internalization process. Receptors that lead to internalization of ferritin comprise, e.g. TfR, CXCR4, CD163, and TIM-2. The skilled person is well aware how to measure the amount of uptake of an iron binding protein and preferred method of measuring the uptake are described in the Example Section below. The present inventors also noted that subpopulations of CD45+ leukocyte cells have a certain propensity to internalize one iron binding protein over another iron binding protein and, thus can attain higher complex concentrations and/or show less leakage of the complex from the cells. Such CD45+ leukocyte subpopulations are described in more detail below.
- The phrase “complex of one or more iron binding proteins and a pharmaceutically active substance, label or pharmaceutically active substance and label” as used in the context of the present invention refers to a composition in which one or more molecules of the pharmaceutically active substance, label or pharmaceutically active substance and label are covalently or non-covalently bound to one or more iron binding proteins. The covalent or non-covalent binding between the one or more iron binding proteins and the one more pharmaceutically active substance, label or pharmaceutically active substance and label can be direct or indirect. In the latter case the pharmaceutically active substance, label or pharmaceutically active substance and label is linked to the iron binding protein via a linker or spacer. Linker or spacers are known to the skilled artisan, such as polyalanine, polyglycin, carbohydrates, (CH2)n groups or polypeptide linkers. The skilled artisan will, thus, be able to select the respective suitable linker(s) or spacer(s) depending on the respective application. If the iron binding proteins form cages like, e.g. ferritin, than the term “complex” also encompasses the enclosure of pharmaceutically active substances, labels or pharmaceutically active substances and labels within the cage even in the absence of a covalent or non-covalent bond between the protein(s) and the active compound(s). The formation of the complex allows the transport of the pharmaceutically active substance, label or pharmaceutically active substance and label into the cell when the cell is internalizing the iron binding protein. Thus, it is preferred that the pharmaceutically active substances, labels or pharmaceutically active substances and labels are bound to the iron binding protein in a way that does not interfere with the transport mechanism. This can be easily tested by the skilled person using uptake assays known in the art and described in the Example Section below. It is preferred that the complex is sufficiently stable to survive the transport within the cell to the target region within the body. Thus, it is preferred that the complex rather than the pharmaceutically active substance, label or pharmaceutically active substance and label alone is delivered to the cells or into the cells in the target region. This property also reduces possible deleterious effects, e.g. cytotoxicity, of the pharmaceutically active substance, label or pharmaceutically active substance and label to the CD45+ leukocyte cell. If pharmaceutically active substances, labels or pharmaceutically active substances and labels are covalently coupled to the iron binding proteins such coupling is preferably through amino acids residues known to be located in surface areas that are not involved in binding to the cellular receptors required for cellular uptake of the iron binding proteins. Iron binding proteins used in the context of the present invention can form stable non-covalently bound complexes with a wide variety of pharmaceutically active substances, labels or pharmaceutically active substances and labels. If the pharmaceutically active substance or label is a peptide, e.g. an antigenic peptide it is preferred that it is not expressed as a fusion with the iron binding protein, since in this case release of the peptide from the iron binding protein will require endosomal processing of the entire iron binding protein peptide fusion protein.
- The CD45+ leukocyte cells originate from the patient to be treated in such case the cell loaded with the complex would be autologous to the patient. It is also envisioned that patients are MHC typed prior to treatment with the targeted delivery of the present invention and that the leukocyte cell type used for a given patient is MHC matched to the patient. In these two preferred embodiments the CD45+ leukocyte cell is a primary cell or derived by a low number of differentiation steps from a primary cell. Alternatively, the CD45+ leukocyte cell may be from an immortalized but preferably non-transformed CD45+ leukocyte cell line. Thus the blood used for CD45+ leukocyte cells, i.e. CD45+ monocyte, CD45+ monocyte-macrophage, CD45+ granulocyte, or CD45+ lymphocyte, in particular CD45+ NK cell, isolation is preferably obtained from the patient to be treated or from a healthy donor. Alternatively the blood can be obtained from the blood bank. Use of umbilical cord blood is also considered herein.
- The present inventors noted that a subpopulation of CD45+ leukocyte cells, which are producible from a CD34+ hematopoietic precursor cell are particular suitable for target specific delivery of the pharmaceutically active substance, label or pharmaceutically active substance and label. Accordingly, it is preferred that the leukocytes used to produce the target delivery system are derived from CD34+ hematopoietic precursor cells. The skilled person is well aware how to select CD34+ hematopoietic precursor cells and how to differentiate such cells into leukocytes.
- As indicated above, the term “CD45+ leukocyte cell” is used throughout this specification to refer to a CD45+ monocyte, CD45+ monocyte-macrophage, CD45+ lymphocyte and/or CD45+. Preferably, the monocyte is not a dendritic cell, which differentiation is controlled by one or more of the following transcription factors: IRF8, NFIL3, BATF3, RELB, PU/1, RBPJ, IIRF4, and/or TCF4, and more preferably is not a dendritic cell. Preferred subpopulations in these general categories of leukocytes are defined in the following by structural parameters, e.g. presence or absence of a given protein, functional properties and/or method of their production/differentiation. As outlined above, the targeted delivery system of the present invention still provides the advantages outlined above, if in a population of cells not every cell has a particular property in as long as the majority of cells within that population has that property. Thus, in the following the property of one preferred cell of the targeted delivery system of the present invention is described. It is appreciated by the skilled person that a pharmaceutical composition of the present invention will comprises millions of cells and that not every cell within the population will have the functional and/or structural properties outlined herein but that the pharmaceutical composition can nevertheless be used to treat a disease, if the majority of cells share the respective functional and/or structural properties.
- The present inventors have recognized that subpopulations of CD45+ leukocyte cells have particular advantageous properties including among others efficiency and/amount of complex uptake in general, ability to retain the complex within the cell, i.e. to avoid leakage and of target release of the pharmaceutically active substance, label or pharmaceutically active substance and label, efficiency of uptake of a particular iron binding protein and/or targeting to particular tissues or cells and, thus suitability to treat or ameliorate a particular disease. The present inventors have, e.g. observed that CD45+ leukocyte cells, which express one or more of the following antigens: CD204, CD206, CD200R, CCR2 have a preference for ferritin uptake over the uptake of other iron binding proteins. Thus, if the iron binding protein in the complex is ferritin it is preferred to select CD45+ leukocyte cells that express one or more of the following antigens: CD204, CD206, CD200R, CCR2. Accordingly, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention
- (i) the monocyte is a CD11b+ monocyte, preferably selected from the group consisting of a CD11b+ CD14+ monocyte, a CD11b+ CD16+ monocyte, a CD11b+ CD14+ CD16+ monocyte, a CD11b+ CD14+ MHCII+ monocyte, a CD11b+ CD14+ CD115+ monocyte, CD11b+ CD114+ monocyte, CD11b+ CD116+ monocyte, CD11b+ CCR1+ monocyte, CD11b+ CCR2+ monocyte, CD11b+ CX3CR+ monocyte, CD11b+ CXR4+ monocyte, CD11b+ CXR6+ monocyte and a CD11b+ CD14+ CD33+ monocyte, preferably the monocyte is not a dendritic cell, which differentiation is controlled by one or more of the following transcription factors: IRF8, NFIL3, BATF3, RELB, PU/1, RBPJ, IIRF4, and/or TCF4, and more preferably is not a dendritic cell;
- (ii) the differentiated monocyte or monocyte-macrophage is differentiated by M-CSF and selected from the group consisting of a macrophage, an activated macrophage, preferably a CD11b+ macrophage, more preferably a CD11b+ CD16+ macrophage, CD11b+ CD32+ macrophage, CD11b+ CD64+ macrophage, CD11b+ CD68+ macrophage, preferably a CD11b+ CD86+ M1 macrophage, preferably producing inducible nitric oxide synthetase (iNOS) and/or secreting interleukin 12 (IL-12) or preferably CD11b+ CCR2+ M2 macrophage, CD11b+ CD204+ M2 macrophage, CD11b+ CD206+ M2 macrophage, CD11b+ CD204+ CD206+ M2 macrophage, CD11b+ Major Histocompatibility Complex II+ (MHCII+) (low or hi expression) M2 macrophage, CD11b+ CD200R+ M2 macrophage, CD11b+ CD163+ M2 macrophage or activated macrophage producing and/or secreting Arginase-1 and/or interleukin 10 (IL-10); preferably the differentiated monocyte is not a foam cell expressing Lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (Lox1+), C-X-C chemokine receptor type 7 (CXCR7+) and Nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (NRF2+). A foam cell is a type of macrophage that localize to fatty deposits on blood vessel walls, where they ingest low-density lipoproteins and become loaded with lipids giving them a foamy appearance. These cells secrete various substances involved in plaque growth and their death promotes inflammation, thereby contributing to cardiovascular disease;
- (iii) monocyte-macrophage or activated monocyte-macrophage is differentiated by M-CSF and is preferably expressing at least one chemokine receptor, preferably selected from the group consisting of CCR1, CCR2, CXCR4, and CXCR6, or at least one growth factor receptor, preferably selected from the group consisting of macrophage colony stimulating factor Receptor (CD115), granulocyte colony stimulating factor Receptor (CD114), and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor Receptor (consisting of CD116 and CD131); monocytes of these characteristics are particular suitable to treat inflammatory conditions and cancer:
- (iv) the lymphocyte is selected from the group consisting of a CD3+ and CD4+ or CD8+ T lymphocyte, or a CD19+, CD20+, CD21+, CD19+ CD20+, CD19+ CD21+, CD20+ CD21+, or CD19+ CD20+ CD21+ B lymphocyte; or a natural killer (NK) cell, preferably the NK cell is selected from the group consisting of CD56+ and without CD3 expression, or CD16+CD56+, CD56+CD94+, CD56+CD158a+, CD56+CD158f+, CD56+CD314+, CD56+CD335+ cell; or
- (v) the granulocyte is selected from the group consisting of a neutrophil, preferably a CD66b+ neutrophil, an eosinophil and a basophil, preferably a CD193+ eosinophil.
- In a preferred embodiment of the targeted delivery system of the present invention the activated macrophage:
- (i) is producible by in vitro incubation of a monocyte or macrophage or their precursors with a factor capable of altering expression markers on macrophages, preferably
- (a) with at least one M1 inducer,
- (b) with at least one M2 inducer,
- (c) or with a factor capable of altering the macrophages ability to secrete cytokines, preferably IL-10 and IL-12, chemokines and/or to produce iNOS, arginase or other immunomodulating enzymes; examples of such factors are: activated platelets, IL-4, IL-10, IL-13, immune complex of an antigen and antibody, IgG, heat activated gamma-globulin, glucocorticosteroid, tumour growth factor-β (TGF-β), IL-1R, CC-chemokine ligand 2 (CCL-2), IL-6, Macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) agonist, leukocyte inhibitory factor (LIF), adenosine, helminth and fungal infection, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), interferon γ (INF-γ), viral and bacterial infection; in this respect it was observed that activation of a monocyte with a M1 inducer, particularly LPS will cause cell to express iNOS, that activation of a monocyte with a M1 inducer, particularly LPS will cause cell not to express Arginase-1, that activation of a monocyte with a M2 inducer, particularly IL-4 will cause cell to express Arginase-1, and that activation of a monocyte with a M2 inducer, particularly IL-4 will cause cell not to express iNOS,
- (ii) is characterized by expression of at least one of following antigens: CD64, CD86, CD16, CD32, high expression of MHCII, and/or production of iNOS and/or IL-12;
- (iii) is producible by in vitro incubation of a monocyte or macrophage with a factor capable of inducing the ability of the macrophage to phagocytose, e.g. IL-18, opsonins (for example complement-derived proteins such as iC3b, immunoglobulin G), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), lipopolysaccharide (LPS), interferon γ (INF-γ), viral infection and/or bacterial infection;
- (iv) is characterized by expression of at least one of following antigens: CD204, CD206, CD200R; CCR2, transferrin receptor (TfR), CXC-motive chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4), CD163, and/or T cell immunoglobulin-domain and mucin-domain 2 (TIM-2), and/or show low expression of MHCII; activated macrophages having these properties are particularly suitable for complexes comprising ferritin as the iron binding protein;
- (v) has the ability to phagocytose; and/or
- (vi) is capable of cytokine secretion, preferably of IL-12, or IL-10, or production of inducible nitric oxide synthetase (iNOS) (or other pro-inflammatory compounds), arginase or other immunosuppressive/anti-inflammatory compounds.
- In a preferred embodiment of the targeted delivery system of the present invention the M1 inducer for differentiating macrophages into M1 macrophages is selected from the group consisting of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), interferon γ (INF-γ), and viral and bacterial infection and the M2 inducer for differentiating macrophages into M2 macrophages is selected from the group consisting of IL-4, IL-10, IL-13, immune complex of an antigen and antibody, IgG, heat activated gamma-globulin, glucocorticosteroid, tumour growth factor-β (TGF-β), IL-1R, CC-chemokine ligand 2 (CCL-2), IL-6, Macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) agonist, leukocyte inhibitory factor (LIF), adenosine, helminth and fungal infection.
- It has been surprisingly found by the present inventors that both complex loaded M1 macrophages and M2 macrophages are suitable for targeted active agent delivery into hypoxic tissues, preferably a tumour or its metastasis. In general we observed that 3 to 5% of the administered M1 macrophages localized at the tumour site while about 35% of the M2 macrophages showed tumour specific targeting. However, this general advantage of M2 macrophages were offset when using a complex comprising haemoglobin and drug, since significantly larger amounts of this complex could be loaded into M1 macrophages than into M2 macrophages. Generally this specific tropisms makes M2 macrophages more suitable for treating tumour and diseases characterized by hypoxic tissue.
- The present inventors also found CCL2-activated macrophages (bone marrow derived) are particularly suitable to target lymph nodes, preferably inflamed lymph nodes. Thus, the use of such macrophages is preferred in all uses in which the targeting of lymph nodes is desired, in particular for prophylactic or therapeutic vaccination as well as for diagnosis of inflamed lymph nodes. Accordingly, the loading of CCL2-activated macrophages with complexes of iron binding proteins and antigens is preferred.
- In a preferred embodiment of the targeted delivery system of the present invention the monocyte-macrophage:
- (i) is producible from a CD34+ hematopoietic precursor cell;
- (ii) is producible by in vitro incubation of monocytes with at least one inducer, preferably M1 or M2 inducer, more preferably at least one M2 inducer;
- (iii) is characterized by expression of at least one of the following antigens: TfR, CD163, TIM-2, CD14, CD16, CD33, and/or CD115;
- (iv) is characterized by expression of at least one of the following antigens: TfR, CD163, TIM-2, CXCR4, CD14, and/or CD16; and/or
- (v) has the ability to phagocytose; and/or
- (vi) is not a dendritic cell which differentiation is controlled by one or more of the following transcription factors: IRF8, NFIL3, BATF3 or RELB, PU/1, RBPJ, IRF4 or TCF4.
- In this embodiment of the targeted delivery system of the present invention the M1 inducer for differentiating monocyte-macrophage cells is selected from the group consisting of LPS, INF-γ or viral or bacterial infection or the M2 inducer for differentiating monocytes is selected from the group consisting of IL-4, ILL-10, IL-13, immune complex of an antigen and antibody, IgG, heat activated gamma-globulins, Glucocorticosteroids, TGF-β, IL-1R, CCL-2, IL-6, M-CSF, PPARγ agonist, Leukocyte inhibitory factor (LIF), cancer-conditioned medium, cancer cells, adenosine and helminth or fungal infection.
- It has been surprisingly found by the present inventors that monocytes are suitable for targeted active agent delivery into hypoxic tissues, preferably the tumour or its metastasis while monocytes treated with M2 activators are more suitable for targeted active agent delivery into hypoxic tissues, preferably the tumour or its metastasis. This specific tropisms make monocytes treated with M2 activators more suitable to targeting tumour and hypoxic sites, e.g. sites of inflammation.

- In a preferred embodiment of the targeted delivery system of the present invention the iron binding protein is selected from the group consisting of ferritin, preferably heavy (H) type ferritin, light (L) ferritin and/or mitochondrial ferritin; haemoglobin, preferably haemoglobin A, haemoglobin AS, haemoglobin SC, haemoglobin C, haemoglobin D, haemoglobin E, haemoglobin F, haemoglobin H; haemoglobin-haptoglobin complex, haemopexin, transferrin; and lactoferrin. The terms ferritin; haemoglobin, preferably haemoglobin A, haemoglobin AS, haemoglobin SC, haemoglobin C, haemoglobin D, haemoglobin E, haemoglobin F, haemoglobin H; haemoglobin-haptoglobin complex, hemopexin, transferrin; and lactoferrin encompass structural variants of the naturally occurring proteins and, thus relates to proteins that have at least 70%, preferably at least 75%, more preferably at least 80%, more preferably at least 85%, more preferably at least 90%, more preferably at least 95% more preferably at least 100% of the ability of the respective wild-type protein to bind iron ion(s). The iron binding proteins used in the context of the present invention are preferably of mammalian, more preferably mouse, rat, dog, ape, in particular, chimpanzee, or human, most preferably of human origin. Consensus sequences of the preferred iron binding proteins used in the context of the present invention are shown in
FIG. 1 below. Preferred structural variants are based on the sequences indicated inFIG. 1 . The residues marked with X vary among different mammalian ferritins, transferrins, and haemoglobins. The alteration of these residues is not crucial for the ability of the proteins to bind to iron ions. Accordingly, it is preferred that amino acid mutations or deletions effect one or more of the residues marked with an X. - Plasma proteins have always been privileged carriers for the delivery of active pharma ingredients in cancer therapy. Thus, albumin, the most abundant plasma protein, is currently used in therapeutic protocols for the delivery of taxane molecules and doxorubicin derivatives (Larsen M T et al 2016,
Mol Cell Ther 27; 4:3). - Human transferrin and ferritin proteins have been considered as effective carriers for the delivery of small molecules or toxin-conjugates to specifically target cancer cells. To date, in spite of considerable efforts, no successful transferrin or ferritin drug complexes have however reached the clinic (Luck A N et al. 2013, Adv Drug Deliv Rev 65(8):1012-9).
- Ferritin has a cage architecture and capability of iron-binding which could be used to encapsulate pharmaceutically active substances and/or labels inside its cavity. Ferritins are not abundant in plasma, but can be readily produced in high yield as recombinant proteins in common protein expression vectors such as Escherichia coli cells. Ferritins H- or L-chains are encoded as small protein monomer (21 kDa and 19 KDa for H and L chains, respectively) capable of a 24-mer assembly into a cage-like structure, delimiting a 8 nm diameter cavity. The present inventors noted in the context of working on the present invention that H-ferritin homopolymers, represent a preferred protein construct in order to specifically deliver encapsulated drugs to CD45+ leukocyte cells expressing TfR. Furthermore H-ferritin targets complex pharmaceutically active substances, labels or pharmaceutically active substances and labels to the cell nucleus (and therefore directly delivers DNA-binding proteins into the nucleus.
- Purified transferrin can be efficiently conjugated to various molecules including anticancer drugs through covalent linkers that are appropriately released inside the cells (Beyer U et al. 1998, J Med Chem 41(15):2701-2708). In case of transferrin, only lysine groups on the protein surface are ready available for covalent attachment.
- Haemoglobin has been considered in the past as a possible drug carrier, due to its versatility in chemical conjugation with drugs, its abundance and relative stability in the blood (Somatogen, 1993, WO1993008842 A1). Nevertheless, the lack of receptor targeting properties did not foster biomedical applications other than blood substitutes or antisickling agent. As a matter of fact, Hb can only be recognized by CD163 (haptoglobin/haemoglobin receptor) epitopes on the leukocytes, especially monocyte-macrophage origin. The CD45-leukocyte, in particular macrophage based protein delivery, described in this application moved haemoglobin center stage as a target specific carrier of pharmaceutically active substances and/or labels. Haemoglobin can be readily covalently linked to appropriate pharmaceutically active substances and/or labels, host hydrophobic pharmaceutically active substances and/or labels within the heme binding pocket or even transport small molecules, e.g. cytotoxic molecules linked to the heme iron. Hb can be easily modified by selective attachment of the appropriate drug conjugate to the beta93 cysteine residue, the only titratable cystein on the protein surface. Maleimido functionalized drugs, such as the tubuline inhibitor MonomethylAuristatin (MMAE) or the DNA crosslinking drug Pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimer (PBD) are most notable examples of extremely potent cytotoxics that can be readily and specifically attached to the relevant cys beta93 residue.
- Alternatively, lysine residues on the Hb surface (at least 10 titratable lysine residues per Hb tetramer) may be easily amenable to drug conjugation through cleavable succinimide linkers. Haemoglobin also offers a unique capability of releasing non covalently bound heme group at acidic pH values. Apo-haemoglobin thus obtained is capable of hosting several hydrophobic molecules within the empty heme pocket, as shown in the case of paclitaxel (Meng Z et al. 2015 J Pharm Sci 104(3):1045-55) or for labels with fluorescent properties (e.g. chlorine e6, hyperycin, phtalocyanine derivatives) (Dong J et al. J Photochem Photobiol B 2014, 140:163-172).
- Whatever the conjugation/adsorption/binding method, haemoglobin (Hb), transferrin (Tf) and ferritins were shown by the present inventors to be privileged carriers of pharmaceutically active substances and labels once loaded into appropriate cell systems with tumour targeting properties, e.g. activated macrophages. The easy, fast, cheap and safe purification procedure of these protein also provide a tremendous added value.
- Based on sequences of mammalian H-type ferritins, L-type ferritins, haemoglobin alpha chains, haemoglobin beta chains and transferrins a consensus sequence was determined for each of these proteins. These are shown in
FIG. 1 in SEQ ID NO: 2, 7, 9, 14, 16, 20, and 25, respectively). On this basis but also on the basis of deletion and structural analysis disclosed in the prior art a minimal fragment was determined for H-type ferritins, L-type ferritins, haemoglobin alpha chains, and haemoglobin beta chains sufficient for uptake by CD45+ leukocytes. These are shown in SEQ ID NO: 1, 3, 5 (H-type ferritin); 8, 10, 12 (L-type ferritin), 15 and 17 (haemoglobin alpha chain) and 19 and 21 (haemoglobin beta chain. Transferrin comprises a N-terminally located domain and a C-terminally located domain that are necessary for binding iron and uptake by CD45+ leukocytes, if comprised in one polypeptide and positioned between 100 to 450 amino acids apart, preferably between 150 to 400, more preferably between 200 to 350 amino acids and more preferably 250 to 320 amino acids apart. The N-terminal domain comprisesamino acids 1 to 82 of full length consensus transferrin (SEQ ID NO: 25) or full length human transferrin (SEQ ID NO: 28). The C-terminal domain comprises amino acids 396 to 510 of full length consensus transferrin (SEQ ID NO: 25) or full length human transferrin (SEQ ID NO: 28). In each case an X is indicated in the consensus sequence it independently stands for any amino acid and characterizes an amino acid not or only poorly conserved among mammalian H-type ferritins, which can be mutated without or little detriment to the iron binding properties of the respective iron binding protein. It is preferred that X in each case takes on the meaning of the amino acid of the respective human iron binding protein aligning with X. This information can be taken, e.g. fromFIG. 1 , which shows alignments of the consensus sequences with human an in some instances mouse proteins. - Preferred H-type ferritins comprise or consist of the amino acid sequence indicated in SEQ ID NO: 1 and variants thereof having at least 70% amino acid identity, more preferably at least 75% amino acid identity, more preferably at least 80% amino acid identity, more preferably at least 85% amino acid identity, more preferably at least 90% amino acid identity, more preferably at least 95% amino acid identity and in each case at least 70% of the ability of a H-type ferritin consisting of the amino acid sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 1 to be taken up by CD45+ leukocytes, preferably M2 leukocytes.

- In a preferred embodiment of the targeted delivery system of the present invention the detectable polypeptide is an autofluorescent protein, preferably green fluorescent protein or any structural variant thereof with an altered adsorption and/or emission spectrum.
- As has been outlined above, the targeted delivery system of the present invention has particular suitability to deliver pharmaceutically active substances, labels or pharmaceutically active substances and labels to hypoxic areas. Hypoxy is characteristic of various disease including cancer and inflammatory diseases and thus allows targeting such diseases.
- In addition to the targeting the use of pharmaceutically active substances, which are activated under hypoxic conditions adds a further specificity to the targeting and/or further reduces adverse effects of the pharmaceutically active substances, labels or pharmaceutically active substances and labels. Thus, in particularly preferred embodiments the pharmaceutically active substance, label or pharmaceutically active substance and label is a hypoxia-activated prodrug. The backbone of all the hypoxia-activated prodrugs is the presence of one of five different chemical moieties (nitro groups, quinines, aromatic and aliphatic N-oxides and transition metals) that are enzymatically reduced under hypoxic conditions in tissue. Hypoxia-activated prodrugs are any prodrug that is less active or inactive, relative to the corresponding drug, and comprises the drug and one or more bioreducible groups. Such hypoxia-activated prodrugs include all prodrugs activated by a variety of reducing agents and reducing enzymes, including without limitation single electron transferring enzymes (such as cytochrome P450 reductases) and two electron transferring (or hydride transferring) enzymes. According to preferred embodiment of the invention hypoxia-activated prodrug is TH-302. Methods of synthesizing TH-302 are described in PCT application WO 07/002931 and WO 08/083101. Preferably examples of such prodrugs are selected from the class I group consisting of: benzotriazine N-oxides, apaziquone (E09), tirapazamine (TPN) and SN30000; or class II group consisting of: nitro compounds PR-104A, TH-302, TH-4000, and AQ4N.
- In a preferred embodiment of the isolated targeted delivery system of the present invention the bond(s) between the iron binding protein(s) and the pharmaceutically active substance, label or pharmaceutically active substance and label comprised in the complex are covalent and/or non-covalent; and/or the pharmaceutically active substance, label or pharmaceutically active substance and label comprised in the complex is entrapped/encapsulated by the iron binding protein, preferably ferritin or multimers thereof. In one embodiment the covalent and/or non-covalent coupling is indirect through a linker or spacer. If the formation of covalent bonds is desired, relevant thiol, amino or carboxyl groups of the iron binding proteins are used to covalently couple pharmaceutically active substances, labels or pharmaceutically active substances and labels directly or indirectly to the one or more iron binding protein.
- It is also envisioned that different pharmaceutically active substances, labels or pharmaceutically active substances and labels are comprised in the complex. For example, one type of pharmaceutically active substance, label or pharmaceutically active substance and label may be bound to an iron binding protein (non-covalently bound), while another type is encapsulated. This approach utilizes different release rates of the pharmaceutically active substances, labels or pharmaceutically active substances and labels from the iron binding protein once delivered to the targeted tissue and/or cells. For example, pharmaceutically active substance, label or pharmaceutically active substance and label can be covalently attached to ferritin molecule either on the surface of the 24-mer or within the internal cavity by exploiting the reactivity of relevant thiol, amino or carboxyl groups. The types of such useful reactions are well known in the art and can be adopted by the person skilled in the art to the particular pharmaceutically active substance, label or pharmaceutically active substance and label without any additional work. Examples of such reactions are described in Behrens C R, Liu B. Methods for site-specific drug conjugation to antibodies. MAbs. 2014 January-February; 6(1):46-53.
- In theragnostic applications, i.e. in which the complex comprises both a label and a pharmaceutically active substance, it is preferred that the label is covalently attached to the iron binding protein and the pharmaceutically active substance is non-covalently bound to the iron binding protein and/or entrapped in the internal cavity formed upon assembly of the iron binding proteins.
- In a third aspect the present invention relates to a method of preparation of the isolated targeted delivery system of the first or second aspect comprising the steps of
-
- a) providing purified iron binding protein;
- b) covalently or non-covalently linking a pharmaceutically active substance, label or pharmaceutically active substance and label to and/or encapsulating a pharmaceutically active substance, label or pharmaceutically active substance and label in an iron binding protein;
- c) providing a CD45+ leukocyte cell; and
- d1) incubating the CD45+ leukocyte cell in the presence of the iron binding protein produced in step b) until the CD45+ leukocyte cell is at least partially loaded with the complex of the iron binding protein and the a pharmaceutically active substance, label or pharmaceutically active substance and label produced in step b); and/or
- d2) incubating CD45+ leukocyte cell in the presence of the label until the CD45+ leukocyte cell is at least partially labelled with the label.
- In a further aspect the present invention relates to the isolated targeted delivery system producible by the method according to the third aspect of the present invention.
- The formation of the adduct between the protein and the pharmaceutically active substance and/or label is preferably by a non-covalent binding to the iron binding protein and can be described as follows: In the case of ferritin, pharmaceutically active substances and/or labels can be typically encapsulated within the internal cavity (physical confinement) by exploiting the association dissociation properties of the ferritin macromolecule itself. pharmaceutically active substance and/or label molecules are held in place by non-covalent interactions with amino acid residues within the cavity internal surface. Haemoglobin macromolecules also offer the possibility of non-covalent binding of selected pharmaceutically active substances and/or labels molecules that may be hosted within the heme binding pocket of haemoglobin itself. The heme in the pocket can be displaced and be replaced by pharmaceutically active substances and/or labels with appropriate hydrophobicity profile. In a further aspect, all proteins considered in the present invention may be covalently attached to pharmaceutically active substance and/or label molecules modified by specific active linker moieties reactive towards thiol or amino groups of the protein itself. As such, ferritins or haemoglobin may be linked to cysteine thiol reactive pharmaceutically active substances and/or labels bearing a peptide based cleavable linker (e.g. cathepsin sensitive valine-citrulline sequence and para-aminobenzylcarbamate spacer). As a notable example, the antimitotic agent monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) has been used. The peptide-based linker binds the protein to the cytotoxic compound in a stable manner so the drug is not easily released from the protein under physiologic conditions and help prevent toxicity to healthy cells and ensure dosage efficiency. The protein pharmaceutically active substance and/or label adduct thus generated is capable of attaching to the selected receptor types, i.e. CD163 for haemoglobin and TfR for ferritin or transferrin, respectively. Once bound the protein pharmaceutically active substance and/or label adduct is internalised by endocytosis and thus selectively taken up by targeted cells. The vesicle containing the drug is fused with lysosomes and lysosomal cysteine proteases, particularly cathepsin B start to break down valine-citrulline linker and MMAE is no longer bound to the iron binding protein and is released directly into the tumour environment.
- Alternatively, DM1-SMCC is an efficient mertansine derivative bearing a linker that specifically binds to lysine residues generating a covalent complex with ferritin, haemoglobin or transferrin in a reaction that has been successfully described for antibodies. In particular, haemoglobin, ferritin or transferrin can be reacted with DM1-SMCC thus providing a covalent protein-drug adduct that can be cleaved inside cells and releases the active drug in a time-dependent manner. The suppression of microtubule dynamics by DM1 induces mitotic arrest and cell death.
- The term “full load” is used in the context of the present invention to refer to the maximum amount of iron binding protein, preferably ferritin, complexed with a pharmaceutically active substance, label or pharmaceutically active substance and label that can be taken up by the CD45+ leukocyte cell, preferably macrophage more preferably activated macrophage.
- In a fourth aspect the present invention relates to an isolated targeted delivery system of the first aspect or second aspect of the invention or producible according to the method of the third aspect of the invention for use as a medicament or diagnostic.
- In a fifth aspect the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical or diagnostic composition comprising the isolated targeted delivery system of the first or second aspect of the present invention or producible according to the method of the third aspect of the invention and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and/or suitable excipient(s). Since the isolated targeted delivery system comprises living cells, it is preferred that carriers and excipients are chosen in such to keep the cells alive.
- “Pharmaceutically acceptable” means approved by a regulatory agency of the Federal or a state government or listed in the U.S. Pharmacopeia or other generally recognized pharmacopeia for use in animals, and more particularly in humans.
- The term “carrier”, as used herein, refers to a pharmacologically inactive substance such as but not limited to a diluent, excipient, surfactants, stabilizers, physiological buffer solutions or vehicles with which the pharmaceutically active substance is administered. Such pharmaceutical carriers can be liquid or solid. Liquid carrier include but are not limited to sterile liquids, such as saline solutions in water and oils, including but not limited to those of petroleum, animal, vegetable or synthetic origin, such as peanut oil, soybean oil, mineral oil, sesame oil and the like. Saline solutions and aqueous dextrose and glycerol solutions can also be employed as liquid carriers, particularly for injectable solutions. A saline solution is a preferred carrier when the pharmaceutical composition is administered intravenously. Examples of suitable pharmaceutical carriers are described in “Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences” by E. W. Martin.
- Suitable pharmaceutical “excipients” include starch, glucose, lactose, sucrose, gelatine, malt, rice, flour, chalk, silica gel, sodium stearate, glycerol monostearate, talc, sodium chloride, dried skim milk, glycerol, propylene, glycol, water, ethanol and the like.
- “Surfactants” include anionic, cationic, and non-ionic surfactants such as but not limited to sodium deoxycholate, sodium dodecylsulfate, Triton X-100, and polysorbates such as

The choice of the respective buffer in general depends on the desired buffer molarity. Phosphate buffer are suitable, for example, for injection and infusion solutions.
- The term “adjuvant” refers to agents that augment, stimulate, activate, potentiate, or modulate the immune response to the pharmaceutically active substance comprised in the composition at either the cellular or humoral level, e.g. immunologic adjuvants stimulate the response of the immune system to the actual antigen, but have no immunological effect themselves. Examples of such adjuvants include but are not limited to inorganic adjuvants (e.g. inorganic metal salts such as aluminium phosphate or aluminium hydroxide), organic adjuvants (e.g. saponins or squalene), oil-based adjuvants (e.g. Freund's complete adjuvant and Freund's incomplete adjuvant), cytokines (e.g. IL-1β, IL-2, IL-7, IL-12, IL-18, GM-CFS, and INF-γ) particulate adjuvants (e.g. immuno-stimulatory complexes (ISCOMS), liposomes, or biodegradable microspheres), virosomes, bacterial adjuvants (e.g. monophosphoryl lipid A, or muramyl peptides), synthetic adjuvants (e.g. non-ionic block copolymers, muramyl peptide analogues, or synthetic lipid A), or synthetic polynucleotides adjuvants (e.g polyarginine or polylysine).
- A striking observation was the disease specific homing of the targeted delivery system of the present invention. The CD45+ leukocyte cells appear to have a tropism for hypoxic areas and areas of oxidative stress. Hypoxia is a hallmark of various diseases as is oxidative stress. Accordingly, in a sixth aspect the present invention relates to an isolated targeted delivery system of the first aspect or second aspect of the present invention or producible according to the method of the third aspect of the invention for use in preventing, treating or diagnosing a disease characterized by hypoxic areas within the diseases tissue and/or by areas of oxidative stress (
FIG. 27 ); tumours, preferably solid tumours and/or its metastases, preferably breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, bladder cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, or a tumour having hypoxic areas, an inflammatory disease, inflamed tissue, preferably inflamed joints or arthritic joints, inflamed lung, inflamed intestine or other inflamed tissue; lymph nodes, preferably inflamed lymph nodes, or other non-physiological lymph nodes that develop during disease preferably but not only during infection, cancer, or autoimmune disease; or ischemic areas, in particular in skin wounds or after organ infarctus (heart) or ischemic retina or for prophylactic or therapeutic vaccination, in particular to prevent or treat an infectious disease or cancer. This aspect also includes also of antigens to physiological or non-physiological lymph nodes in order to vaccinate an individual or to induce immune memory. - The term “treatment” as used herein includes all types of preventive and/or therapeutic interventions medically allowed for the purpose of cure, temporary remission, prevention, etc. for different purposes including delaying or stopping the progress of a disease, making a lesion regress or disappear, preventing onset, or inhibiting recurrence.
- The targeted delivery system according to the present invention enables tumour delivery of the pharmaceutically active substances, labels or pharmaceutically active substances and labels, which normally would not be able to reach the tumour (for example, due to solubility problems). It also enables the delivery of pharmaceutically active substances, labels or pharmaceutically active substances and labels to the hypoxic tumours or to the hypoxic areas of the tumour. This system also provides for delivery of pharmaceutically active substance, label or pharmaceutically active substance and label to any area within an organism subjected to hypoxic conditions, for example during ischaemic incidents, or undergoing an inflammatory process.
- As mentioned above the present invention provides also the method for targeted delivery into the tumour mass. This method comprises preparation of CD45+ leukocytes, preferably activated macrophages which enables highly efficient iron-binding protein (ferritin, haemoglobin and/or transferring) uptake by the macrophages, wherein said ferritin, haemoglobin and/or transferrin carry a pharmaceutically active substance, label or pharmaceutically active substance and label (for example a drug/prodrug), tumour targeting and iron-binding protein transfer to the cancer cell, where the pharmaceutically active substance, label or pharmaceutically active substance and label is released.
- The present invention exploits CD45+ leukocytes, preferably activated macrophages loaded with iron-binding proteins linked with a drug/prodrug as a delivery system to target the tumour. Unsatisfactory response of the tumours to chemotherapy or difficulties in their detection using imaging methods are mainly related to an altered penetration of the anticancer drugs to the hypoxic areas due to poor vasculature. However, these avascular regions attract CD45+ leukocytes, preferably activated macrophages to migrate even in areas far away from blood vessels. Therefore, they constitute a delivery system of particles to the tumour mass. A promising example of such particles is iron-binding protein. However, when used as single agents they do not reach hypoxic regions, similarly to other compounds and accumulate in other organs.
- The present inventors linked anticancer drugs, hypoxia activated prodrugs (for treatment purposes), labels or isotopes to haemoglobin or transferrin using chemical methods and loaded it into CD45+ leukocytes (monocytes, macrophages, lymphocytes and/or granulocytes), preferably activated macrophages treating cells with iron-binding protein solution as it is described in examples. The inventors observed that upon administration to the animal, loaded CD45+ leukocytes, preferably activated macrophages migrate to the tumour hypoxic sites and release iron-binding protein with encapsulated pharmaceutically active substances, labels or pharmaceutically active substances and labels into the cancer cells. This method allows precise administration of the pharmaceutically active substances, labels or pharmaceutically active substances and labels to the tumour site (especially to the hypoxic regions), avoiding their accumulation in other organs.

FIG. 27 : Ferritin transfer was examined in cancer cells (EMT6) co-cultured with ferritin-loaded macrophages (RAW264.7) for 2 hrs. Three experimental conditions were used: “ctrl” (normal co-culture, no stress); “EMT6 OS” when EMT6 cells were subjected to the oxidative stress before co-culture and then co-cultured with macrophages at normoxic conditions and “co-culture OS” when both cell types were subjected to the oxidative stress before the co-culture. Results showed that cancer cells subjected to the oxidative stress received (from macrophages) more ferritins than control cells. The uptake was even more efficient when both cell types were subjected to the oxidative stress. It can be related with higher load of ferritin due to oxidative stress and therefore more efficient transfer, or oxidative stress triggers macrophages to more efficiently deliver ferritins to cancer cells in order to reduce oxidative stress in neighboring cells. Panel A shows: Ferritin uptake from macrophages (2 hrs co-culture) in oxidative stress (oxidative glucose treatment for 16 hrs). Panel B shows: Ferritin uptake from macrophages (2 hrs co-culture) in oxidative stress (oxidative glucose treatment for 16 hrs). - Macrophages for use according to the present invention were obtained, differentiated and activated as follows. In order to activate macrophages, they are obtained firstly from bone marrow precursors (for example see paper: Weischenfeld and Porse, 2008, CSH Protoc, doi. 10.1101/pdb.prot.5080) or blood monocytes. Alternatively, they can be obtained from peritoneum. The methods of macrophage isolation, culture, differentiation and polarization/activation are well known for those skilled in the art. For example, they have been described in details by Murray et al. (Immunity, 2014, 41(1):14-20).
- In this practical realization of the invention bone marrow derived macrophages were obtained from BALB/c or C57Bl/6 mouse, however canine blood-monocyte-derived macrophages or commercially available macrophage cell lines (monocyte-macrophage lineage mouse cells: RAW 264.7, J744, human: THP-1, U937, or canine DH82 cell line).
- Shortly, such bone marrow derived macrophages are seeded in plastic Petri dish in 5 ml medium (3 ml cells per plate): DMEM:F12+glutamine/glutamax+10% FBS+Penicillin/Streptomycin and 20% of L929 conditioned medium or M-CSF (50 ng/ml). In the next five days the medium is supplemented in growth factor and one of the activating compounds or their combinations as one cytokine cocktail.
- Alternatively, macrophages have been cultured in “M1/M2 Macrophage Generation Medium” (Promocell) or equivalent commercially available or self-made medium containing all the necessary cytokines and interleukins to consider them as activated.
- In order to obtain macrophages from blood monocytes, fresh blood (not older than 12 hours) cells were purified by centrifugation using Histopaque system 1.077 g/ml or equivalent and white blood cells (or alternatively, only white blood cells collected from the blood bank) in an appropriate amount of pre-warmed Monocyte Attachment Medium (or equivalent, e.g. DMEM/RPMI supplemented with M-CSF), e.g. 15 ml Medium per T-75 flask. A seeding density should be of 1-2 million/cm2 for mononuclear cells with a monocyte content of ≥2 5% and 1.5-3 million/cm2 for a monocyte content of <25%. Then, cells are incubated for 1-1.5 hours at 5% CO2 and 37° C. in the incubator without any further manipulation.
- After cell attachment, they are washed at least twice, and then an appropriate amount of complete “M1- or M2-Macrophage Generation Medium DXF” is added to the cells (e.g. 20 ml per T-75 flask) and cells are incubated for 6 days at 37° C. and 5% CO2 without medium change. In order to activate macrophages, the whole medium is replaced with medium supplemented with activating compound.
- Activating compounds used in this invention (for bone-marrow derived cells or to activate cells from monocyte-macrophage cell lines) are as follows: IL-4 (20 ng/ml), IFN-γ (at least 20 ng/ml), LPS (at least 10 ng/ml), IL-13 (at least 20 ng/ml), IL-10 (at least 20 ng/ml), dexamethason (at least 20 μg/ml), CCL2 (at least 20 ng/ml), oxLDL (at least 20 ng/ml), TNF-α (20 ng/ml), TGF-β (20 ng/ml), cortisol (150-300 ng/ml) or their combinations as one cytokine cocktail. In order to obtain non-activated macrophages, the activating compound has not been added.
- Reverse of the polarization/activation of macrophages (from classically activated to alternatively activated) can be reached for example by culture of macrophages in appropriate cytokines listed above for at least 48 hours.
- In order to obtain monocytes in this practical realization of the invention bone marrow derived or spleen-derived monocytes were obtained from BALB/c or C57Bl/6 mouse, however canine blood monocyte or commercially available monocyte cell lines were used (monocyte-macrophage lineage mouse cells: RAW 264.7, J744, human cells: THP-1, U937, or canine cells DH82).
- To obtain blood monocytes, fresh blood (not older than 12 hours) cells were purified by centrifugation using Histopaque system 1.077 g/ml or equivalent and white blood cells are seeded in an appropriate amount of pre-warmed Monocyte Attachment Medium (or equivalent, e.g. DMEM/RPMI supplemented with 20 ng/ml M-CSF), e.g. 15 ml Medium per T-75 flask. Alternatively, only white blood cells collected from the blood bank (buffy coat) may be used. After cell attachment, they are washed at least twice, and adherent cells are considered as monocytes.
- In order to obtain bone-marrow derived monocytes, in this practical realization of the invention monocytes were obtained from BALB/c or C57Bl/6 mouse. Shortly, such bone marrow derived precursors were isolated using Mouse Monocyte Enrichment Kit (StemCells) according to manufacturer's instructions. In order to obtain spleen derived monocytes, in this practical realization of the invention, the spleen has been mechanically dissociated to obtain single cell suspension and passed through the 70 μm cell strainer. Cells were centrifuged and supernatant was removed. Optionally erythrocyte lysis was performed prior to monocyte isolation by EasySep™ Mouse Monocyte Enrichment Kit (StemCells) according to manufacturer's instructions.
- To obtain better effects of their protein loads and migration before use they may be pre-treated with activation stimuli: IL-4 (20 ng/ml), IFN-γ (at least 20 ng/ml), LPS (at least 10 ng/ml), IL-13 (at least 20 ng/ml), IL-10 (at least 20 ng/ml), dexamethason (at least 20 g/ml), CCL-2 (at least 20 ng/ml), oxLDL (at least 20 ng/ml), TNF-α (20 ng/ml), TGF-β (20 ng/ml), cortisol (150-300 ng/ml) or their combinations as one cytokine cocktail.
- To obtain granulocyte cells from blood, 9 parts of blood were diluted with 1 part of ACD buffer (containing 0.17 M d-glucose, 0.10 M citric acid, 0.11 M trisodium citrate). Blood from this step was further diluted with PBS at the 1:1 ratio and centrifuged. After removing plasma and buffy coat, remaining cells were mixed with PBS to 80% of the original volume from the first step (ACD-blood) and then diluted with cold distillated water at the ratio of 4:12. Then, 6 parts of 2.7% of NaCl solution were added and centrifuged.
- After removal of supernatant cells were resuspended in RPMI-1640 medium. These cell were considered as granulocytes.
- In order to obtain spleen derived lymphocytes, in this practical realization of the invention, the spleen has been mechanically dissociated to obtain single cell suspension and passed through the 70 μm cell strainer. Cells were centrifuged and supernatant was removed. After erythrocyte lysis, lymphocytes were isolated using a negative cell isolation strategy with a help of EasySep™ CD4+ Enrichment Kit (Stemcell) according to manufacturer's instructions.
- Lymphocytes were activated by the 3-5 day culture in RPMI medium supplemented with glutamine/glutamax, 10% FB S, Penicillin/Streptomycin, in the presence of beads covered with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 (Gibco) according to manufacturer's instructions.
- Activation of lymphocytes was confirmed with upregulation of CD25 and CD69 cell surface expression, that was monitored by flow cytometry.
- In order to obtain macrophages from blood monocytes, fresh blood (not older than 12 hours) is purified by centrifugation using Histopaque system 1.077 g/ml or equivalent and white blood cells (or alternatively, only white blood cells collected from the blood bank) are used for further steps of the procedure. Alternatively, leukocytes are obtained after erythrocyte lysis of the whole blood, as it was done in this practical realization of the invention.
- In order to incorporate ferritins with the anticancer drug (e.g. classic drugs like cyclophosphamide, chlorambucil, melphalan, bendamustine, banoxantrone or hypoxia-activated prodrug like TH-302) or with the “imaging contrast agents” (e.g. ferrihydride or isotope) ferritins have to be prepared before macrophage treatment. Shortly, recombinant mouse proteins according to SEQ ID NO: 4 (
FIG. 1 ) are obtained as follows. The expression vector pET-22b containing a synthetic gene encoding ferritin protein of SEQ ID NO: 4 was transformed into E. coli BL21 (DE3). E. coli culture was grown at 37° C. to OD600 0.6 in 1 L of Luria-Bertani broth (LB) added with ampicillin (100 mg/L). Protein expression was induced by addition of 1 mM isopropyl thio-b-D-galactoside (IPTG) and the culture was incubated overnight. Cells were harvested by centrifugation (15000 g for 15 min) and suspended in 20 mM Hepes (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 0.1 mg/mL DNase, 10 mM MgCl2 and disrupted by sonication. The lysate was centrifuged at 15000 g for 30 min and the supernatant was treated 10 min at 50° C., centrifuged to remove denatured proteins and then at 70° C. for 10 min and centrifuged again. The supernatant was added with 30% (NH)4SO4 at 4° C. stirring for 1 h and centrifuged at 15000 g for 30 min. The supernatant was added with 70% (NH)4SO4 at 4° C. stirring for 1 h and centrifuged at 15000 g for 30 min. The pellet was resuspended in 20 mM Hepes (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl and dialysed overnight at 4° C. against the same buffer. The protein was loaded on aHILOAD 26/600SUPERDEX 200 gel-filtration column (GE-Healthcare) and then sterile filtered and stored at 4° C. (FIG. 9 ) Protein concentration was determined spectrophotometrically at 280 nm using a molar extinction coefficient of 21000 M−1 m−1 and by Bradford assay measuring the absorbance at 595 nm. - Said ferritins include recombinant mammalian ferritin proteins H and/or L homopolymers.
- Ferritins, obtained as previously described, are purified by standard methods in order to obtain an endotoxin free, pre-clinical grade product (see, for example: Ceci et al. 2011, Extremophiles 15(3):431-439; Vanucci et al. 2012, Int J Nanomed 7:1489-1509). Shortly, the ferritin conserved sterile in a storage solution containing 20 mM Hepes pH 7.5 is diluted to a final concentration of 4 uM in 24-mer in acidic solution (final pH<3.0) or, alternatively, at highly basic pH values (pH>9.5) (see for example Pontillo et al., 2016), thus allowing the dissociation of multimer. Drugs are dissolved at very high concentrations in the appropriate solvent and then a small volume is added to the ferritin solution with a 200 molar excess. PH is then brought to neutrality by addition of appropriate amounts of NaOH/HCl solutions in order to allow multimer reconstitution. Current experimental methods indicate that three/four washings using PBS (concentration steps) in 100 kDa cut off concentrators allows rapid and complete elimination both the co-solvents as well as non-encapsulated drugs and full recovery of drug loaded ferritin nanocages. The ferritin-drug complex thus obtained was then flash freezed in liquid nitrogen and lyophilised.
- Depending on the choice of co-solvent and on the intrinsic chemical properties of the drug molecule, it can be estimated that up to 150-180 drug molecules can be entrapped/adsorbed within the 24-mer ferritin cage.
- Pharmaceutically active substances or labels may also be covalently coupled to ferritin amino acid side chains (lysines or cysteines) by appropriate choice of phenylhydrazone, succinimide or maleimide activated drugs. Accordingly, i) phenylhydrazone derivative may breaks and liberates the drug from the ferritin surface, ii) lysine bound derivatives may become active after full protein degradation into aminoacids or iii) cysteine bound derivative may be liberated within the cell through reductive hydrolysis of the maleimede thioether link.
- Human haemoglobin is prepared from fresh red cells as described in Rossi-Fanelli et al. (Archives of biochemistry and biophysics 77:478-492, 1958). Shortly, the heparinized blood, obtained from healthy donors, was centrifuged at 1600 rpm for 30 minutes (4° C.) to sediment the RBCs. Buffy coat was accurately removed by needle aspiration on the surface of the pellet. The plasma supernatant was discarded and the RBC pellet was washed three times by resuspending the RBCs in isotonic 0.9% saline solution and centrifuging at 1600 rpm for 30 minutes at 4° C. After the final saline wash and centrifugation step, the RBC pellet was resuspended in distilled water buffered at pH 7.2 with 5 mM potassium phosphate buffer (PB, pH=7.2) and allowed to lyse at 4° C. overnight under gentle stirring. Dialyzed RBC lysate was subsequently centrifuged at 13.000 rpm for 30 min at 4° C. and supernatant was directly loaded on an ÄKTA Explorer system equipped with an
XK 26/40 column packed with Q-sepharose XL resin (GE Healthcare) at room temperature. Columns were equilibrated with buffer A (20 mM Tris-HCl, pH=8.2) at a flow rate of 12 mL/min and washed three times with the same buffer. A linear gradient elution was generated by changing from 100% buffer A to 75% buffer B (20 mM Tris-Cl, plus 0.2 M NaCl pH8.20) followed by a step gradient of 100% buffer B. Upon elution, a fraction collector was used to collect protein fractions. Protein thus obtained was analyzed by SDS page and stored frozen at −80° C. - Human Haemoglobin (SEQ ID NO: 18 or 22, see
FIG. 1 ) can be readily covalently linked to appropriate drug conjugates, host hydrophobic drug molecules within the heme binding pocket or even transport small cytotoxic molecules linked to the heme iron. Hb can be easily modified by selective attachment of the appropriate drug conjugate to the cysteine residue in position 93 of the beta chains, the only titratable cystein on the protein surface. Maleimido functionalized drugs, such as the tubuline inhibitor MonomethylAuristatin (MMAE) or the succinimide functionalized mertansine analogue (DM1-SMCC) are most notable examples of extremely potent cytotoxics that can be readily and specifically attached to the relevant cys beta93 residue (for maleimido functionalized drugs) or to one or more lysine residues (succinimide functionalized drug), respectively. These drugs have been conveniently conjugated to human haemoglobin according to the following procedures: - The auristatin E analogue, maleimidocaproyl-valine-citrulline-p-aminobenzoyloxycarbonyl-monomethyl auristatin E (vcMMAE) was obtained from Med Chem Express (Princeton, N.J.). The Haemoglobin vcMMAE adduct was prepared as follows. Human haemoglobin solution was adjusted to a concentration of 120 μM heme with reaction buffer (50 mM phosphate buffer pH 6.8, containing 0.1 mM EDTA) and conjugated with 10-fold molar excess of vcMMAE in the presence of 20% v/v acetonitrile solution at 4° C. overnight. Maleimide groups react efficiently and specifically with free (reduced) sulfhydryls at pH 6.5-7.5 to form stable thioether bonds. The excess vcMMAE was purified and buffer-exchanged with D-
PBS using PM 100 ultrafiltration concentrator. The yield of conjugation was approximately 80% of the total cysteines. Formation of vcMMAE conjugate was confirmed by LC-MS analysis and by titration of residual free thiol group with p-chloromercuribenzoate. The concentrations of Hb-vcMMAE conjugates were determined by UV-vis spectroscopy analysis. - The mertansin analogue DM1 SMCC (Alb Technology Ltd, Hederson, Nev., USA), functionalized for lysine covalent attachment, was prepared as follows. Human haemoglobin solution was adjusted to a concentration of 400 μM heme with reaction buffer (0.1 mM phosphate buffer pH 7.4, containing 0.5 mM EDTA) and conjugated with 20-fold molar excess of DM1-SMCC in the presence of 10% v/v DMSO solution at 4° C. for 16 hours. The amine-reactive succinimidyl ester couples to amines thus yielding a covalent adduct with lysine groups on the surface of the protein. The excess DM1-SMCC was eliminated and buffer-exchanged with D-
PBS using PM 100 ultrafiltration concentrator. The yield of conjugation was approximately 2.4 mertansine molecules per haemoglobin tetramer. Formation of DM1-SMCC conjugate was confirmed by LC-MS analysis. The concentrations of Hb-DM1-SMCC conjugates were determined by UV-vis spectroscopy analysis. - Alternatively, the apo-protein solution must be kept on an ice bath for the duration of the reconstitution process. A 1.5-fold molar excess of CuT-CPP (Cu-
TCPP - The serum was obtained from healthy donor and excess iron was added in the presence of citrate ions as a chelator and bicarbonate, which is facilitates for iron binding to transferrin. The reaction mixture contained 6.5 mg sodium bicarbonate and 153.16 ferric citrate in pH=8, 4° C., 1 hour per 100 mL of serum. Albumin was subsequently precipitated by Rivanol (4%) by adding the alcohol solution to the serum sample in a 3.5 V/V ratio at 4° C., and pH=9.4 for 2 h. Then, the solution was centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 20 min and finally filtered by filter on a 0.8 mm syringe filter. Excess Rivanol was subsequently removed by gel-filtration on a Sephadex G-25 column in ammonium sulfate 0.025 M. A first precipitation of by saturated
ammonium sulfate 50% at pH=6.5 was subsequently carried out followed by centrifugation at 3000 rpm for 10 min (immunoglobulin removal). A second precipitation at 80% saturated ammonium sulfate was then carried out thus allowing recovery of transferrin the precipitate. Solid precipitate was then dissolved in buffer of 0.06 M Tris HCl buffer, pH=8, containing 1 M NaCl. The solution was dialyzed in the same buffer to allow full removal of ammonium sulfate. Protein solution was then concentrated with a centricon PM50 centrifugal concentrator up to 10-15 mg/ml (as estimated by Bradford method) and loaded on a Sephadex G-100 gel-filtration column (2,4×80 cm) equilibrated in 1M NaCl, flow rate of 15 ml/h. Transferrin thus obtained was estimated to be 88-90% pure by SDS page. Ion-exchange chromatography by anion exchanger DEAE Sephadex A-50 was then used as a final polishing step. The transferrin sample was loaded in the column equilibrated with 0.06 M Tris HCl at pH=8 and eluted by a linear concentration gradient with elution buffer, 0.3 M Tris HCl, pH=8. Protein purity was higher than 98% with a yield of about 150 mg per 100 mL of serum. - Human Holo-transferrin, (SEQ ID NO: 28,
FIG. 1 ) similarly to haemoglobin can be readily covalently linked to appropriate drug conjugates, although there is only availability for lysine modifications, due to the absence of freely titratable cysteine groups. Thus the succinimide functionalized mertansine analogue (DM1-SMCC) has been used to covalently attach to one or more lysine residues (succinimide functionalized drug). The drug has been conveniently conjugated to transferrin according to the following procedure: - The mertansin analogue DM1 SMCC (Alb Technology Ltd, Hederson, Nev., USA), functionalized for lysine covalent attachment, was prepared as follows. Transferrin solution was adjusted to a concentration of 100 μM heme with reaction buffer (0.1 mM phosphate buffer pH 7.4, no EDTA in this case due to possible iron chelation effects) and conjugated with 20-fold molar excess of DM1-SMCC in the presence of 8% v/v DMSO solution at 4° C. for 16 hours. The amine-reactive succinimidyl ester couples to amines thus yielding a covalent adduct with lysine groups on the surface of the protein. The excess DM1-SMCC was eliminated and buffer-exchanged with D-
PBS using PM 100 ultrafiltration concentrator. The yield of conjugation was approximately 1.5 mertansine molecule per transferring dimer. Formation of DM1-SMCC conjugate was confirmed by LC-MS analysis. The concentrations of Transferrin-DM1-SMCC conjugates were determined by UV-vis spectroscopy analysis. - Alternatively, the apo-protein solution is kept in an ice bath for the duration of the reconstitution process.

TCPP - Obtained cells are incubated in ferritin solution for a time and at the concentration sufficient to ensure proper ratio of ferritin/cell for their full load and also to ensure proper drug content to obtain therapeutic effect or contrast for proper imaging. The time and concentration may vary depending on the number of molecules encapsulated/adsorbed into the ferritin cage, status of cell activation, condition and number of their intended administration.
- For example, to ensure proper load with ferritins, cells are incubated for 1-4 hours in ferritin solution 0.8 mg/ml in standard culture conditions. The frame of ferritin concentration may vary at least between 0.01 and 4 mg/ml as well as incubation time (5 min-6 hours or more). Adjusting time and concentration of ferritin load to cells, the influence of ferritin and treatment conditions on cell viability should be minded. Cells obtained as stated above very easily uptake ferritins in a relatively short time (in minutes;
FIG. 8 ). Once they absorb ferritins, they do not release it to the culture medium (FIG. 9 ). - Nevertheless, the person skilled in the art is able to re-adjust the above conditions and optimize the protocol for the own purposes in the own laboratory.

- For example, to ensure proper load with haemoglobins, cells are incubated for 1-4 hours in haemoglobin solution 0.1 mg/ml in standard culture conditions. The frame of haemoglobin concentration may vary at least between 0.01 and 0.2 mg/ml as well as incubation time (5 min-4 hours or more).

- The macrophages from Example 1 prepared as described in Examples 8, 9 and 10, very easily transport ferritins, haemoglobins, transferrins to the cancer cells: mouse mammary cancer, colon cancer, canine mammary cancer, human breast, pancreatic, and bladder cancer (
FIGS. 4, 10 ). Moreover, this transfer is much more specific to cancer cells than to non-cancer cells (FIG. 11 ). However, in case of cancer cells the ratio of both cell types is crucial. The more macrophages the better and faster the transport is. The most efficient transfer to the cancer cells was observed when ratio of macrophages to cancer cells was 1:1 or more. - This transfer occurred not only when the protein carriers are conjugated with fluorescent label (e.g. FITC or Alexa610), but also when they were conjugated/encapsulated with other compounds, e.g. anticancer drugs (
FIG. 12 shows this transfer of ferritin encapsulated with fluorescent hypoxia activated prodrug—banoxantrone). This transfer of compounds conjugated with anticancer drugs made the effect inducing apoptosis in cancer cells (FIG. 6, 13 ). - The monocytes from Example 2 prepared as described in Examples 8, 9 and 10, very easily transport ferritins, haemoglobins, transferrins to the cancer cells (
FIG. 14 ). However, the ratio of both cell types is important. The more monocytes the better and faster the transport is. The most efficient transfer to the cancer cells was observed when ratio of monocytes to cancer cells was 1:1 or more. - The granulocytes from Example 3 prepared as described in Examples 8, 9 and 10, very easily transport ferritins, haemoglobins, transferrins to the cancer cells (
FIG. 15 ). However, the ratio of both cell types is crucial. The more granulocytes the better and faster the transport is. The most efficient transfer to the cancer cells was observed when ratio of granulocytes to cancer cells was 1:1 or more. - The lymphocytes from Example 4 prepared as described in Examples 8, 9 and 10, very easily transport ferritins, haemoglobins, transferrins to the cancer cells (
FIG. 16 ). However, the ratio of both cell types is crucial. The more lymphocytes the better and faster the transport is. The most efficient transfer to the cancer cells was observed when ratio of lymphocytes to cancer cells was 1:1 or more. - In this invention cells were labeled with 18F-FDG or 89Zr-oxinate in order to become imaged on PET. Cells have been detached from the plate and incubated with 18F-FDG or 89Zr-oxinate solution in adequate concentration to ensure the most optimal 18F-FDG or 89Z-oxinate uptake by cells allowing their radio-detection at the site of their accumulation. In this practice of the invention cells were incubated at room temperature for at least 90 min. in 89Zr-oxinate solution containing 3-9 MBq per 5 mln of cells. However, the ratio of radioisotope and cells influences significantly the reaction efficacy (
FIG. 26 ). After labeling, cells are be centrifuged and supernatant is removed. This step should be repeated until no radioactivity is detected in the supernatant. - The macrophages from Example 1 prepared as described in Examples 9, 10, 11 and 11; monocytes from Example 2 prepared as described in Examples 9, 10, 11 and 12, granulocytes from Example 3 prepared as described in Examples 9, 10, 11 and 12, and lymphocytes from Example 4 prepared as described in Examples 9, 10, 11 and 12, highly efficiently migrate to the tumors (
FIG. 22 andFIG. 23 ), arthritic joints (FIG. 24 ), in this particular example monocytic-macrophage cell line was used) and inflamed lymph nodes (FIG. 25 ), in this particular example monocyte/young macrophages activated using M-CSF and CCL-2 were used). Once they migrate to the tumors or other tissues they very easily transport ferritins, haemoglobins, transferrins and labels to the tumor in the enough amount to be detected using imaging systems (FIGS. 2, 3, 7, 17, and 18 ). - Macrophages prepared as above are injected into the tail vein of animal with the tumour (appropriate number of macrophages should be adjusted to the tumour size, stage of development and presence of metastases). As it is shown on
FIGS. 2, and 17 they specifically reach the tumour (after a few hrs) and also disperse in other organs of the whole animal (FIG. 18 ). Moreover, as it is shown onFIG. 19 , in hypoxic model they are also able to migrate to the avascular and hypoxic sites and to transfer carrier proteins to cancer cells (FIGS. 3, and 20 ). - For the imaging purposes, 1-50 millions of macrophages were injected into the tail vein of mammary or colon cancer tumour-bearing animal. Before, macrophages were pre-labeled with Cell Tracker and loaded with ferritin-FITC (as shown in Example 8). Using two-photon of the
tumour mass 8 hours after administration of macrophages the presence of macrophages carrying Ferritin-FITC was detected (FIG. 17 ). Their specific targeting of tumour but also their migration to other organs was shown using whole animal body imaging (IVIS) after macrophage pre-labeling using DIR cytoplasmic dye (FIG. 18 ). - The 1-10 millions of macrophages loaded with ferritin encapsulated cyclophosphamide, melphalan and ferritin encapsulated chlorambucil were injected i.v. into the tumour-bearing mice (300 000-500 000 of EMT6 cells injected into the skin flank). We made 3 injections of macrophages every third day (on the
day day FIG. 5 ). - The targeting of the targeted delivery system described in present invention can be followed by coupling the ferritin to a contrast agent. As it is presented on
FIG. 21 , after injection of 1-50 ml of macrophages loaded with ferritin coupled as described in Example 8 with a contrast agent (in this case: ferrihydrite, however the same results are obtained with isotope, e.g. 123I) or labeled with isotope (in this case 89Zr-oxide or 18F-FDG) (FIG. 21 ) they can be easily detected by MRI, PET or SPECT. In this example (FIG. 7 ), mammary-tumour bearing mice were imaged using MRI at 3, 22 and 24 hours after i.v. injection of macrophages loaded with ferritin Fh. The mouse was treated (at time point 0 h) with macrophages. Then increased diameter of blood vessels (arrow) filled with injected macrophages (giving significant T2-signal reduction) has been observed and afterword macrophages spread to the tissue (spot-like pattern; arrows). These changes (in the same time points) were observed in all examined mice. - Macrophages were also labeled with 89Zr-oxide or 18F-FDG (5-50 mln) and their radioactivity was confirmed to be imaged using PET after i.v. administration to the tumour-bearing mice. These mice were inoculated with 4T1
metastatic cell line 3 weeks before the experiment and metastases in the lungs, liver and spleen were histopatologically confirmed. AtFIG. 21 it is seen that macrophages migrated to the regions with metastatic tumours allowing their visualization at PET. - While the foregoing written description of the invention enables one of ordinary skill to make and use what is considered presently to be the best mode thereof, those of ordinary skill will understand and appreciate the existence of variations, combinations, and equivalents of the specific embodiment, method, and examples herein. The invention should therefore not be limited by the above described embodiment, method, and examples, but by all embodiments and methods within the scope and spirit of the invention.
