Abstract

Bacterial ghosts are biological vehicles of dead and evacuated bacteria from their internal components which preserved the external characters. Recently, bacterial ghosts are considered as a biotechnology platform for some biomedical applications such as drug delivery systems and vaccination. In this invention, the loaded bacterial ghosts of Salmonella typhimurium with doxorubicin (DOX) were used as a targeted drug delivery system (dosage form) which loaded by application of specific conditions. The DOX loaded bacterial ghosts were targeted toward human hepatic cancer cell line (HepG2) in-vitro and achieved antiproliferative activity less than the free DOX by three folds, which suggests less DOX side effects. Additionally, the DOX loaded bacterial ghosts of Salmonella achieved about 91% apoptosis in hepatic cancer cells while the free DOX achieved about 39% apoptosis all in concentration of (1 µg/ml).

Description

Targeted Drug Delivery System Using Bacterial Ghosts of Salmonella toward Hepatic Cancer Cells
Technical Field
The technical field of this Invention is pharmaceutics and pharmaceutical pharmacy which is the science of dosage forms formulation.
Background Art:
Harnessing the bacterial ghosts as targeted drug delivery system. Bacterial ghosts are biological shells of walls and membranes of the bacterial cells that have punctured and evacuated from their internal cytoplasmic contents, such as functional proteins and most of the DNA material. Bacterial ghosts can be used in the medical and pharmaceutical fields. Nowadays, they are used in some applications, for instance:
1- Preparation of targeted drug delivery systems
2- Preparation of vaccines
3- Preparation of DNA delivery systems (1),(2)
Methods of preparation of bacterial ghosts:
First: the genetic method by induction of E- lysis protein gene to produce a tunnel through the cellular wall and membrane. (3)
Second: The chemical method, using two chemical agents (tween 80 and lactic acid) in a suitable concentrations and suitable times. This method has been used for preparation of the bacterial ghosts of Salmonella. (4)
Bacterial ghosts used before as a targeted drug delivery system in two different trials (none of both included targeting liver cancer cells). The first trial:
The bacterial ghosts of recombinant E. coli Nissle 1917 that prepared genetically (E-lysis gene) have been targeted to conjunctiva -in-vitro- of Guinea pig and human. (5) The results showed high targeting and adherence of bacterial ghosts on the conjunctiva cells. In another similar study, the bacterial ghosts of Mannheimia haemolytica, E. coli NK9373, E. coliNM522, and E. coli Nissle 1917 were targeted to human conjunctiva cells -in-vitro- and also they showed a very high adherence ability and picked up by the human cells very strongly. (6)
The second trial:
The bacterial ghosts of Mannheimia haemolytica were prepared genetically and targeted toward human colorectal cancer cell line -in-vitro- and these ghosts were loaded with the anticancer drug-doxorubicin-DOX. The cancer cells showed a high picking up ability for these loaded ghosts and the antiproliferative activity of the DOX loaded ghosts was double incomparison to the free DOX which suggested less side effects of DOX the is highly toxic. (7)
The shortage in the previous art:
The first trial:
The genetic method for preparation of bacterial ghosts (E-lysis gene) has been used which is an expensive, uncommon and complicated method because of little knowledge about that gene. On the other hand, in this invention the simple and cheap chemical method has been used. (6)
The prepared bacterial ghost didn’t uploaded by any drugs. Oppositely, the bacterial ghosts of Salmonella have uploaded by anticancer drug to be tested on the human hepatic cancer cells. (6)
The second trial:
The genetic method for preparation of bacterial ghosts (E-lysis gene) has been used which is an expensive, uncommon and complicated method because of little knowledge about that gene. In this invention the simple and cheap chemical method has been used in preparation of Salmonella ghosts. The antiproliferative activity against the cancer cells was double while in this invention, the antiproliferative activity was triple. (7) Disclosure of Invention:
The new in this invention:
- The bacterial ghosts of Salmonella enteritidis serovar typhim ATCC13311 were prepared using an easy, cheap and available method (tween 80 and lactic acid).
- The bacterial ghosts were loaded by DOX using an easy and applicable method.
- The loaded bacterial ghosts by DOX - in this invention- were targeted for the first time toward human hepatic cancer cells.
- The antiproliferative activity of the loaded bacterial ghosts with DOX were triple in comparison to the free DOX (Fig 1) and the resulted in high percentage of apoptosis (91%) (Fig 3)
The Details of the Invention:
As a new biotechnology platform which has different biomedical application, the bacterial ghosts were used as a drug delivery system and both unman and animal vaccines.
In this trial, the DOX loaded Salmonella ghosts were used for the first time as a drug delivery system to target the human hepatic cancer cells.
The loading capacity was maximized to (27.5%) by incubating 10 mg of bacterial ghosts with 1 mg of free DOX for 10 minutes in pH 9 and room temperature (25 °C). In-vitro release study of DOX loaded BGs showed a sustained release (182 hours) and obeying Higuchi sustained kinetic release model.
The death rate (tested by MTT assay) of HepG2 reached to 64.5% by using of 4 μg/ml (equivalent concentration), while it was about 51% using the same concentration of the free DOX (P value < 0.0001 One-way ANOVA analysis). The proliferative inhibitory concentration (IC50) of the DOX combined formula was 1.328 μg/ml that was about one third of the IC50 of the free DOX (3.374 μg/ml). Apoptosis analysis (tested by flowcytometry) showed more accumulation in early apoptosis (8.3%) and late apoptosis/necrosis (91%) by applying 1 μg/ml BG combined DOX, while 1 μg/ml free DOX showed 33.4% of cells in early apoptosis and 39.3% in late apoptosis/necrosis, (P value > 0.05: one-way ANOVA). (Fig 3). The execution and method of exploitation of the invention:
The invention can be useful in the pharmaceutical industry field as a new dosage form to deliver doxorubicin to the human hepatic cancer cells - in-vitro- in a high efficiency and accuracy and this was because of the high bioadherence tendency of Salmonella bacteria on the liver cells which possibly will reduce the dangerous side effects of DOX. This also will need for clinical study.
The invention can be executed as the following:
1- The bacterial ghosts of Salmonella enteritidis serovar typhim ATCC13311 be prepared using the chemical method (tween 80 and lactic acid) the lyophilized
2- The prepared lyophilized bacterial ghosts of salmonella (10 mg) be incubated with 1 mg doxorubicin HCl for 10 minutes in a 10 ml TRIS HCl buffer solution in the room temperature (25°C).
3- The DOX loaded bacterial ghosts be washed by a half normal saline (0.45%) two times and followed by centrifugation (4000 rpm) for two minutes in each time to extract the pure loaded ghosts.
4- The washed ghosts be stored at 4 °C until be used in the targeting of hepatic cancer cells.
5- The clinical studies.
