  1. Abstract:

    The CD22 antigen is a viable target for therapeutic intervention for B-cell lymphomas. Several therapeutic anti-CD22 antibodies as well as an anti-CD22-based immunotoxin (HA22) are currently under investigation in clinical settings. Coupling of anti-CD22 reagents with a nano-drug delivery vehicle is projected to significantly improve treatment efficacies. Therefore, we generated a mutant of the targeting segment of HA22 (a CD22 scFv) to increase its soluble expression (mut-HA22), and conjugated it to the surface of sonicated liposomes to generate immunoliposomes (mut-HA22-liposomes). We examined liposome binding and uptake by CD22(+) B-lymphocytes (BJAB) by using calcein and/or rhodamine PE-labeled liposomes. We also tested the effect of targeting on cellular toxicity with doxorubicin-loaded liposomes. We report that: (i) Binding of mut-HA22-liposomes to BJAB cells was significantly greater than liposomes not conjugated with mut-HA22 (control liposomes), and mut-HA22-liposomes bind to and are taken in by BJAB cells in a dose and temperature-dependent manner, respectively; (ii) This binding occurred via the interaction with the cellular CD22 as pre-incubation of the cells with mut-HA22 blocked subsequent liposome binding; (iii) Intracellular localization of mut-HA22-liposomes at 37 degrees C but not at 4 degrees C indicated that our targeted liposomes were taken up through an energy dependent process via receptor-mediated endocytosis; and (iv) Mut-HA22-liposomes loaded with doxorubicin exhibited at least 2-3 fold more accumulation of doxorubicin in BJAB cells as compared to control liposomes. Moreover, these liposomes showed at least a 2-4 fold enhanced killing of BJAB or Raji cells (CD22(+)), but not SUP-T1 cells (CD22(-)). Taken together these data suggest that these 2nd-generation liposomes may serve as promising carriers for targeted drug delivery to treat patients suffering from B-cell lymphoma.
