Conjugation of Magnetite Nanoparticles with Melanogenesis Substrate, NPrCAP Provides Melanoma Targeted, <i>in Situ</i> Peptide Vaccine Immunotherapy through HSP Production by Chemo-Thermotherapy

Abstract: In order to develop melanoma-targeted <i>in situ</i> peptide vaccine immunotherapy, magnetite nanoparticles were conjugated with a melanogenesis substrate, N-propionyl cysteaminylphenol (NPrCAP). Magnetite nanoparticles introduced thermotherapy which caused non-apoptotic cell death and generation of heat shock protein (HSP) upon exposure to alternating magnetic field (AMF). NPrCAP was expected to develop a melanoma-targeted therapeutic drug because of its selective incorporation into melanoma cells… Show more

“…These surface-expressed HSPs act as signals for the immune system and sensitize tumor cells for immune attack, resulting in "antitumor activity". 40 Jimbow et al 41 reported that melanoma-bearing mice treated with magnetite nanoparticlesmediated hyperthermia were able to reject rechallenge with melanoma. The authors attributed this observation to the development of antitumor activity by induction of HSP70 and HSP90.…”

“…Melanoma is not the most common cause of PC in humans. It is most commonly associated with ovarian cancer, malignant mesothelioma, benign papillary mesothelioma and desmoplastic small round cell tumors [ 54 , 55 ].…”

“…Tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes such as CD8 + and CD4 + T cells were observed both right and left tumors and tumorspecific cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) activity was augmented in the rats treated with MNHT. Jimbow et al also reported the anti-tumor immune responses induced by MNHT in mouse B16 melanoma models [22,23]. Thus, MNHT can kill not only heated tumors, but also non-heated tumors, including metastatic cancer cells.…”

“…For example, melanoma possesses tyrosinase as a melanin-forming enzyme which plays a role in the biosynthesis of melanin pigments. A melanoma-targeted MNP was developed by directly conjugating a tyrosine homolog, N-propionyl-cysteaminylphenol (NPrCAP) that is a tyrosinase substrate, or indirectly doing NPrCAP with an end of the polyethylene glycol Antibody-conjugated magnetite 10 nm Targets to human breast cancer, conjugated with radioactive indium [25] Antibody-conjugated magnetoliposome 10 nm Targets to tumor cells, stabilizes the colloidal solution [26][27][28][29] Magnetoliposomes with encapsulated antitumor drug 20-30 nm Controlled drug release [31,32] MNPs in needle shape 10 nm Organs with high blood flow [33,34] chain on the surface of dextran-coated MNPs [22,23]. When the NPrCAPconjugated MNPs (NPrCAP/M) were added to cultures of various cell lines in vitro, no substantial uptake by non-melanoma cells was observed, whereas the MNPs uptake by melanoma cell lines was observed in higher percentage [23].…”
