Hypersensitivity and Loss of Disease Site Targeting Caused by Antibody Responses to PEGylated Liposomes

Abstract

The systemic application of nucleic acid drugs requires delivery systems that overcome the poor pharmacokinetics, limited biodistribution, and inefficient uptake of nucleic acids. PEGylated liposomes show considerable promise because of their intrinsic ability to accumulate at disease sites and facilitate transfection of target cells. Unlike many viral vectors, PEGylated liposomes are generally considered to be nonimmunogenic. We have developed a PEGylated liposome for the systemic administration of plasmid DNA that achieves high levels of selective gene expression at distal tumor sites. Here we report that the in vivo efficacy and safety of these systems can be severely compromised following repeat administration. This phenomenon is characterized by a loss of disease site targeting, accelerated clearance from the blood, and acute hypersensitivity. These effects are fully attributable to a surprisingly robust, long-lived antibody response generated against polyethylene glycol (PEG) that results from the strong adjuvant effect of the plasmid payload. Importantly, immunogenicity may be substantially reduced by modifying the alkyl chain of the PEG-lipid conjugate, thereby allowing successful repeat dosing of the modified plasmid formulations without adverse side effects. Immunogenicity is a relevant concern for a number of nonviral delivery systems given the potent immunostimulatory properties of many nucleic acid drugs.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
