In-vitro-Untersuchung zum Einfluss von Therapeutika auf die PSMA- und CXCR4-Rezeptorexpression in humanen Prostatakarzinomzelllinien / Effect of therapeutic agents an PSMA- and CXCR4-receptorexpression: In-vitro-study of human prostate cancer cell linesSaam, Marian January 2020 (has links) (PDF)
Die therapeutischen Möglichkeiten des metastasierten Prostatakarzinoms (Pca) haben sich durch die neuen Substanzen Docetaxel und Abirateron deutlich verbessert.
Das prostataspezifische Membranantigen (PSMA) stellt für die Diagnose und Therapie des Pca´s einen vielversprechenden Angriffspunkt dar. PSMA wird in Prostatakarzinomzellen überexprimiert und dient als Zielstruktur für nicht-invasives bildgebendes Verfahren und Lutetium-177-PSMA-Radioligandentherapie als Therapieoption.
Der CXCR4-Rezeptor wird an unterschiedlichen Zelltypen und Organen exprimiert. Seine Überexpression wird mit einer Metastasierung und schlechter Prognose assoziiert.
Gallium-68-PSMA PET/CT liefert genaue Kenntnisse bezüglich Ausbreitung und Fortschreiten des Tumorgeschehens.
Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die Zusammenhänge zwischen Expression von PSMA und CXCR4 in Verbindung mit etablierten Therapeutika und versucht Wege aufzuzeichnen, welche durch Erhöhung der PSMA-Expression zur verbesserten Sensitivität des PSMA PET/CT führen könnten, wodurch der personalisierte Therapieansatz weiter optimiert werden kann. / Novel therapeutic agents such as docetaxel and abiraterone have significantly improved treatment strategies for metastatic prostate cancer in recent years.
Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) represents a promising target for diagnosis and therapy of prostate cancer. PSMA is over expressed in prostate cancer cells providing a target structure for non-invasive imaging and Lutetium-177-PSMA radioligand therapy.
The CXCR4-receptor is expressed on different cell types and organs. Its over expression is associated with metastasis and poor prognosis.
PET/CT imaging with Gallium-68-labelled PSMA ligands provide relevant information regarding tumor staging and progression.
The present study investigates the interaction between expression of PSMA and CXCR4 considering established therapeutic agents to improve sensitivity of PSMA PET/CT imaging and optimize personalized cancer medicine.

Estudo de radiomarcação com gálio-68 do inibidor de PSMA baseado em ureia - avaliação comparativa de método automatizado e não automatizado / Study radiolabeling of urea-based PSMA inibitor with 68-gallium comparative evaluation of authomated and not authomated methodsAlcarde, Lais Fernanda 05 April 2016 (has links)
Os métodos para o diagnóstico clínico de câncer de próstata incluem o toque retal e a dosagem do antígeno prostático específico (PSA). Entretanto, o nível de PSA encontra-se elevado em cerca de 20 a 30% dos casos relacionados a patologias benignas, o que resulta em falsos positivos e leva os pacientes a realização de biópsias desnecessárias. O antígeno de membrana prostático específico (PSMA), ao contrário, é sobre expresso no câncer de próstata e encontrado em baixos níveis em órgãos saudáveis. Em razão disso, estimulou-se o desenvolvimento de pequenas moléculas inibidoras do receptor de PSMA, que carreguem agentes de imagem ao tumor e que não sejam prejudicadas pela microvasculatura deste. Estudos recentes sugerem que o quelante HBED-CC contribui intrinsicamente para a ligação do peptídeo inibidor de PSMA baseado em ureia (Glu-ureia-Lys) ao grupo farmacofórico. Este trabalho descreve os estudos de otimização das condições de radiomarcação do PSMA-HBED-CC com 68Ga, utilizando sistema automatizado (módulo de síntese) e método não automatizado, buscando estabelecer uma condição adequada de preparação deste novo radiofármaco, com ênfase no rendimento da marcação e na pureza radioquímica do produto. Também objetivou avaliar a estabilidade do peptídeo radiomarcado em condições de transporte e estudar a distribuição biológica do radiofármaco em camundongos sadios. O estudo dos parâmetros de radiomarcação possibilitou definir um método não automatizado que resultou em alta pureza radioquímica (> 95%), sem a necessidade de purificação do radiomarcado. Já o método de marcação automatizado foi adaptado para utilizar módulo de síntese e software já disponíveis no IPEN, e também resultou em rendimento de síntese elevado (≥ 90%) e superior aos descritos em literatura, com a vantagem associada de maior controle do processo produtivo em atendimento aos requisitos de Boas Práticas de Fabricação. O estudo dos parâmetros de radiomarcação permitiu a obtenção do PSMA-HBED-CC-68Ga com atividade específica superior à utilizada em estudos clínicos publicados (≥ 140,0 GBq/μmol), com estabilidade suficientemente longa, que permitirá o transporte às clínicas para aplicação na obtenção de imagens diagnósticas. Os perfis de biodistribuição e farmacocinético do peptídeo radiomarcado foram compatíveis com os encontrados na literatura. Conclui-se que o PSMA-HBED-CC-68Ga, é uma importante ferramenta de diagnóstico do câncer de próstata por imagem PET, pode ser produzido tanto por método automatizado ou não automatizado, com alta pureza radioquímica, alto rendimento de síntese e estabilidade do radiofármaco. / The methods for clinical diagnosis of prostate cancer include rectal examination and the dosage of the prostatic specific antigen (PSA). However, the PSA level is elevated in about 20 to 30% of cases related to benign pathologies, resulting in false positives and leading patients to unnecessary biopsies. The prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA), in contrast, is over expressed in prostate cancer and founded at low levels in healthy organs. As a result, it stimulated the development of small molecule inhibitors of PSMA, which carry imaging agents to the tumor and are not affected by their microvasculature. Recent studies suggest that the HBED-CC chelator intrinsically contributes to the binding of the PSMA inhibitor peptide based on urea (Glu-urea-Lys) to the pharmacophore group. This work describes the optimization of radiolabeling conditions of PSMA-HBED-CC with 68Ga, using automated system (synthesis module) and no automated method, seeking to establish an appropriate condition to prepare this new radiopharmaceutical, with emphasis on the labeling yield and radiochemical purity of the product. It also aimed to evaluate the stability of the radiolabeled peptide in transport conditions and study the biological distribution of the radiopharmaceutical in healthy mice. The study of radiolabeling parameters enabled to define a non-automated method which resulted in high radiochemical purity (> 95 %) without the need for purification of the labeled peptide. The automated method has been adapted, using a module of synthesis and software already available at IPEN, and also resulted in high synthetic yield (≥ 90%) specially when compared with those described in the literature, with the associated benefit of greater control of the production process in compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices. The study of radiolabeling parameters afforded the PSMA-HBED-CC-68Ga with higher specific activity than observed in published clinical studies (≥ 140,0 GBq/μmol), with a sufficiently long stability, which will enable transport to clinics for use in diagnostic imaging. Biodistribution and pharmacokinetic profiles of the radiolabeled peptide were consistent with those founded in the literature. We concluded that PSMA-HBED-CC-68Ga, important diagnostic tool for prostate cancer imaging with PET, can be produced by either automated or not automated method with high radiochemical purity, high synthetic yield and stability of the radiopharmaceutical.

Targeting prostate cancer with synthetic RNA ligandsThomas, Gregory Stuart 01 December 2012 (has links)
Prostate cancer represents a serious health concern as the most diagnosed form of cancer in men and the second leading cause of cancer death in the Western world. Current treatments for prostate cancer are non-targeted and result in a number of undesirable, non-specific effects, highlighting the need for novel, targeted therapeutics in the treatment of prostate cancer.
Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) offers great promise in the targeting of prostate cancer for imaging and therapy. PSMA is a transmembrane carboxypeptidase with cell surface expression several orders of magnitude higher in cancerous prostatic epithelia than found in other tissue and PSMA is constitutively internalized into cells. The unique expression profile of PSMA and its constitutive internalization offer great value in the targeted delivery of therapeutics to prostate cancer cell.
In 2002, two synthetic RNA ligands, aptamers, were selected for their ability to inhibit the enzymatic activity of PSMA. In 2006, the utility of these aptamers in the delivery of cytotoxic siRNA across the cell membrane was demonstrated in vivo using aptamer-siRNA chimeras. However, those experiments were performed by intratumoral injection, and systemic administration will be necessary for use in the clinic.
In this thesis, we improve PSMA targeted chimeras to serve as more powerful therapeutics in the treatment of prostate cancer. We optimize existing aptamer-siRNA chimeras for increased potency and stability and improved pharmacokinetics to enable systemic administration. We truncate the PSMA binding aptamers for amenability to large-scale chemical synthesis. With emerging roles for PSMA enzymatic activity in the prostate cancer disease we identify aptamers that are suitable for chemical synthesis and retain inhibitory properties against PSMA. Finally, we assess the use of aptamers as synthetic ligands in the functional inhibition of PSMA mediated motility in prostate cancer.
Our results demonstrate the ability of aptamer-siRNA chimeras to specifically kill PSMA-expressing cells with cytotoxic siRNA upon systemic injection. We confirm a newly reported role for PSMA in the promotion of cell motility and demonstrate the ability of aptamers to effectively neutralize PSMA-mediated motility. The results presented within argue strongly for the functional utility of aptamers in the treatment of prostate cancer.

Development of Novel Protein-Based MRI Contrast Agents for the Molecular Imaging of Cancer BiomarkersPu, Fan 18 December 2014 (has links)
Temporal and spatial molecular imaging of disease biomarkers using non-invasive MRI with high resolution is largely limited by lack of MRI contrast agents with high sensitivity, high specificity, optimized biodistribution and pharmacokinetics. In this dissertation, I report my Ph. D. work on the development of protein-based MRI contrast agents (ProCAs) specifically targeting different cancer biomarkers, such as grastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR), prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA), and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2). Similar to non-targeted ProCAs, these biomarker-targeted ProCAs exhibit 5 - 10 times higher r1 and r2 relaxivites than that of clinical MRI contrast agents. In addition, these biomarker-targeted ProCAs have high Gd3+ binding affinities and metal selectivities. The highest binding affinity of the three GRPR-targeted contrast reagents obtained by grafting a GRPR ligand binding moiety into ProCA32 for GRPR is 2.7 x 10-9 M. We further demonstrate that GRPR-targeted ProCAs were able to semi-quantitatively evaluate GRPR expression levels in xenograft mice model by MRI. In addition, we have also created a PSMA-targeted ProCA which has a binding affinity to PSMA biomarker of 5.2 x 10-7 M. Further, we developed VEGFR-targeted contrast agent which is able to image VEGFR2 in mice models using T1-weighted and T2-weighted sequences. Moreover, the relaxivities and coordination water numbers of ProCAs can be tuned by protein design of ProCA4. Since disease biomarkers are expressed in various tumors and diseases, our results may have strong preclinical and clinical implications for the diagnosis and therapeutics of cancer and other type of diseases.

Diseño de un protocolo mac para proveer acceso decamétrico inalámbrico usando ondas milimétricasFuentealba Landeros, David Andrés January 2012 (has links)
Ingeniero Civil Electricista / El constante desarrollo de nuevos servicios asociados a las telecomunicaciones, como por ejemplo, dar soporte a redes de monitoreo de salud, ha provocado la necesidad de aumentar la velocidad de intercambio de datos, particularmente en lo referido a redes inalámbricas. Producto de esta necesidad, se ha comenzado a trabajar con frecuencias cercanas a los 60 GHz debido a que son bandas no licenciadas y capaces de proveer altas tasas de transmisión de datos utilizando técnicas simples de multiplexación. Sin embargo, al trabajar con altas frecuencias, sólo se puede lograr distancias de transmisión del orden de las decenas de metros, por lo que son ideales para implementar redes inalámbricas de área personal (WPAN). Sin embargo, la utilización de estas frecuencias hace necesario contar con un protocolo MAC que pueda aprovechar de mejor manera los beneficios que ellas entregan a las redes inalámbricas.
Para enfrentar el problema descrito, el propósito de esta memoria es diseñar un protocolo de acceso inalámbrico, orientado a redes de ondas milimétricas, que sea capaz de maximizar el ancho de banda total de la WPAN, disminuir las latencias en las conexiones en la red y proveer soporte a la administración eficiente de la energía que consumen los equipos en los nodos.
El protocolo propuesto es el Process-Stacking Multiplexing Access (PSMA), el cual distribuye el uso de un único canal de transmisión de datos mediante una multiplexación en el tiempo, reservando uso de canal a medida que los equipos que integran la red requieran usarla, asignando a cada uno de ellos un tiempo variable de utilización del canal, dependiendo de la cantidad de datos que requiera ser transmitida. Utilizando este mecanismo, PSMA se asegura de que el canal de transmisión no se deje de usar mientras existan procesos que lo requieran.
El principal resultado obtenido fue que PSMA, en el mejor de los casos, puede lograr un rendimiento n veces superior a la multiplexación por división de tiempo (TDMA), donde n es el número de nodos en el WPAN, y en peor de los casos, obtiene un rendimiento similar. Otro resultado destacable se refiere a la capacidad para lograr un manejo eficiente de la energía en equipos que utilizan dispositivos energy harvesting (EHD), logrando incluso auto-sustentabilidad energética, dependiendo de la potencia que entregue el EHD y de la tasa de transmisión dispuesta a sacrificar. Los resultados recién expuestos fueron presentados y aceptados en dos conferencias internacionales y actualmente existe una publicacion que se encuentra en proceso de revisión en el IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications.
Como trabajo futuro se propone implementar el protocolo PSMA en un field-programmable gate array (FPGA), el cual controlará el flujo de información a través de la antena a nivel de capa MAC. El backbone de esta red estará compuesto de equipo de fibra óptica ya que requiere una alta tasa de transferencia de datos para poder aprovechar el gran ancho de banda que la tecnología milimétrica puede ofrecer.

Generation and characterization of a prostate-specific membrane antigen positive eukaryotic cell system for phage selection / Utveckling och utvärdering av PSMA-uttryckande cellinjer ämnade för riktad evolutionEhrenborg, Linda January 2021 (has links)
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancer types worldwide. However, current diagnostic approaches and treatments are invasive and unspecific. Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is an ideal biomarker for prostate cancer and can act as a target for therapeutic or diagnostic agents. Previous attempts to develop an affibody with affinity towards PSMA have been unsuccessful, therefore this thesis aimed at making the affibody selections against PSMA more efficient. In this thesis HEK293 cells expressing a modified version of PSMA containing a 3C protease cleavage site were generated, to enable extraction of the extracellular domain of PSMA during the selections. However, further analyses must be performed to determine if the extracellular domain can be successfully cleaved off. To develop an affibody that can be used both in vitro and in vivo, selections will be carried out against recombinant PSMA as well. The recombinant PSMA was previously produced incorporating an Avi tag for site-specific biotinylation and immobilization for the selections. To biotinylate the recombinant PSMA, the enzyme BirA that catalyzes the biotinylation of the Avi tag, was produced. A protein yield of 8.95 mg/liter culture was obtained and the site-specific biotinylation was highly efficient. To evaluate the proposed affibody selection strategy the next step is to determine if cleavage of the PSMA expressed on the HEK293 cells is possible, optimize the cleavage conditions and to start initial selections using the generated HEK293 cells and the produced BirA enzyme. / Prostatacancer är en av de mest förekommande cancertyperna över hela världen. Nuvarande diagnostiska metoder och terapeutiska behandlingar är dock invasiva och ospecifika. Prostataspecifikt membranantigen (PSMA) är en idealisk biomarkör för prostatacancer och kan agera som en målmolekyl för terapeutiska eller diagnostiska ändamål. Tidigare försök att utveckla en affibody med affinitet mot PSMA har inte lyckats, därför var målet med detta examensarbete att effektivisera selekteringen av affibodies mot PSMA. I detta projekt har HEK293 celler som uttrycker en modifierad version av PSMA, innehållande ett 3C-proteas- klyvningsställe, genererats för att möjliggöra extraktion av den extracellulära domänen av PSMA under selekteringen. Ytterligare analyser måste dock utföras för att avgöra om den extracellulära domänen kan klyvas av. För att utveckla en affibody som kan användas både in vitro och in vivo kommer selekteringen att utföras även mot rekombinant PSMA. Rekombinant PSMA har producerats tidigare med en Avi tag för specifik biotinylering och immobilisering under selekteringen. För att biotinylera det rekombinanta PSMA producerades enzymet BirA, som katalyserar biotinyleringen av en Avi tag. Ett proteinutbyte av 8,95 mg/liter kultur erhölls och den specifika biotinyleringen var effektiv. För att utvärdera den föreslagna strategin för selektering av affibodies är nästa steg att avgöra om klyvning av PSMA uttryckt av HEK293 cellerna är möjlig, optimera klyvningsförhållandena och starta initiala selektioner med de genererade HEK293-cellerna och det producerade BirA-enzymet.

Synthèse de prodrogues bispécifiques activables en milieu hypoxique : application au traitement du chondrosarcome et nouvelles perspectives dans le cadre du cancer de la prostate / Synthesis of bispecific hypoxia activated prodrugs : application to chondrosarcoma treatment and new prospects as part of prostate cancerGerard, Yvain 18 December 2018 (has links)
Le chondrosarcome (CHS), cancer du cartilage est une tumeur chimio- et radiorésistance dont le seul traitement efficace reste la chirurgie. Une prodrogue vectorisée et activable en hypoxie, ICF05016, est actuellement développée par l’UMR 1240, et évaluée en préclinique comme potentielle alternative théra-peutique pour ce cancer. La structure de cette molécule regroupe i) une moutarde cytotoxique, ii) un vecteur ammonium quaternaire chargé positivement possédant un tropisme pour l’aggrécane, protéoglycane majoritaire de la matrice extracellulaire tumorale, iii) une gâchette de type 2-nitroimidazole permettant une activation sélective en situation d’hypoxie, une des caractéristiques principales du CHS.Ces travaux de thèse ont consisté à pharmaco-moduler cette prodrogue bispécifique ICF05016 en modifiant la position du vecteur ainsi que la nature de l’agent cytotoxique. Ainsi sept prodrogues vectorisées ont été synthétisées présentant une chaine vectrice N,N,N-triméthylpropylaminium soit en C-4, soit en N-1 du cycle imidazole. Leur activation par réduction chimique, mimant l’hypoxie, ainsi que leur affinité pour l’aggrécane ont été confirmées in tubo par des analyses de RMN 31P et de SPR, toutefois elles se sont avérées non sélectives en termes de cytotoxicité (CI50 comprises entre 15 et 1 µM, et ce, quelles que soient les conditions d’oxygénation) et faiblement sensibles à une bio-réduction enzymatique. La fonctionnalisation par un vecteur ammonium quaternaire de la gâchette 2-nitroimidazole annihile donc l’activation en hypoxie des prodrogues.Cette stratégie a ensuite été étendue au cancer de la prostate en remplaçant le vecteur ammonium quaternaire par un ligand de type urée affin pour l’antigène membranaire spécifique de la prostate (PSMA). La première molécule synthétisée, qui possède un espaceur triazole, a démontré une affinité pour le récepteur PSMA, par une étude de compétition avec un radioligand, ainsi qu’une activation in tubo par bioréduction enzymatique. Toutefois aucune cytotoxicité n’a été constatée sur les lignées LNCaP-Luc et PC3-Luc. Une seconde molécule combinant un espaceur triazole avec une séquence peptidique identifiée pour la molécule PSMA-617, actuellement en cours d’essai clinique, est actuellement développée mais sa synthèse doit être optimisée, notamment au niveau de l’étape de cycloaddition 1,3-dipolaire. / Chondrosarcoma (CHS), the malignant tumor of the cartilage, is a chemo- and radio-resistant cancer. Surgical resection is still considered the mainstay of treatment of this pathology. A dual targeted hypoxia-activated prodrug, ICF05016 was developed by the UMR 1240 and evaluated in preclinical studies as a potential therapeutic alternative for CHS. The latter is a nitroheteroaryl-based compound designed as follows: a phosphorodiamidic mustard functionalized with a quaternary ammonium (QA) used as targeting function, and a 2-nitroimidazole group to trigger fragmentation and then release the bis-alkylating mustard anion by bioreduction under hypoxic conditions, chemical hallmark of CHS.This project deals with the pharmacomodulation of ICF05016, more specifically by modification of the position of the targeting moiety as well as the nature of the cytotoxic agent. Seven QA-targeted prodrugs have been synthesized with N,N,N-trimethylpropylaminium tethered to the imidazole either in the C-4, or the N-1 position. These prodrugs were cleaved in vitro under chemical reductive conditions, which mimic in vivo hypoxia conditions. In addition, the binding of these derivatives to aggrecan was highlighted by surface plasmon resonance. In vitro assays on human CHS cells (H-EMC-SS) demonstrated quite equivalent cytotoxicities, whatever the oxygen conditions used and their evaluation as substrate of an oxygen-insensitive nitroreductase revealed the almost total lack of activation. A QA targeting moiety grafted on the trigger seems to alter hypoxia activation.New prodrugs with prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeting ligand were synthesized to extend this HAP strategy to prostate cancer. The first tested compound, having a triazole spacer, presented selective affinity for PSMA in an in vitro binding experiment as well as activation under enzymatic reduction. However, no cytotoxicity was observed on LNCaP-Luc and PC3-Luc cells. The synthesis of a prodrug combining the spacer of PSMA-617, currently in clinical trial, and a propyltriazole moiety, was initiated but the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition still need to be optimized.
