Hydrogel-Mediated Delivery of PD-1 Checkpoint Inhibitors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All chemicals not otherwise specified were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO). For preparation of sterile MDP hydrogels, 2% wt/vol solutions were dissolved in 298 mM sucrose to support cytocompatibility. Anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor antibodies and IgG isotype controls were purchased from BioXcell. Peptide stock solutions (K2-MDP) were first prepared at 4% wt/vol in 298 mM sucrose. The target final loading concentrations of checkpoint inhibitor antibodies within the gels were 300 μg anti-PD-1 per 60 μl gel (5 μg/μl for PD-1) or the same loading concentration of respective isotype IgG for negative control tests. The antibody stocks were provided in PBS, a buffer that is compatible for peptide hydrogelation via phosphate anion crosslinking of charged peptide nanofibers.
The volume of antibody stock solution (usually provided at stock concentrations of ~7–9 μg/μl) required to achieve the final desired dose in the gel was then calculated, typically requiring a mixing of 1 part 4% wt/vol peptide with 2–3 parts antibody stock solution (with any leftover volume supplemented with additional PBS). The final antibody-loaded hydrogel formulations were 0.75X PBS, 75 mM sucrose, 1 % wt/vol peptide (10 mg/mL, ~5–6 mM), 5 μg/μl PD-1 or isotype control.

All chemicals not otherwise specified were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. For preparation of sterile MDP hydrogels, 2% wt/vol solutions were dissolved in 298 mmol/L sucrose to support cytocompatibility. Anti–PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor antibodies and IgG isotype controls were purchased from Bio X Cell. Peptide stock solutions (K2-MDP) were first prepared at 4% wt/vol in 298 mmol/L sucrose. The target final loading concentrations of checkpoint inhibitor antibodies within the gels were 300 μg anti–PD-1 per 60 μL gel (5 μg/μL for PD-1) or the same loading concentration of respective isotype IgG for negative control tests. The antibody stocks were provided in PBS, a buffer that is compatible for peptide hydrogelation via phosphate anion cross-linking of charged peptide nanofibers.
The volume of antibody stock solution (usually provided at stock concentrations of ∼7–9 μg/μL) required to achieve the final desired dose in the gel was then calculated, typically requiring a mixing of 1 part 4% wt/vol peptide with 2–3 parts antibody stock solution (with any leftover volume supplemented with additional PBS). The final antibody-loaded hydrogel formulations were 0.75X PBS, 75 mmol/L sucrose, 1% wt/vol peptide (10 mg/mL, ∼5–6 mmol/L), 5 μg/μL PD-1 or isotype control.

Establishing Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Xenografts

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To establish human esophageal squamous carcinoma cell xenografts, 2 × 106 ESCC cells suspended in PBS/Matrigel were injected subcutaneously into the right flank region of 6-week-old BALB/c nude mice. Tumor growth was monitored every 5 days until the subcutaneous tumors reached an average size of over 100 mm3. The mice were weighed every 5 days to monitor their general health. In pharmacological experiments, mice were intraperitoneally treated with either DY131 (40 or 80 mg/kg) or vehicle (1% DMSO + ddH2O) every 2 days for 25 days, starting on day 5 after tumor injection. For anti-programmed death 1 (PD1) treatments, mice were intraperitoneally administered mouse anti-PD1 antibodies (100 µg per mouse) or IgG isotype control (BioXCell) every 3 days for 25 days, beginning on day 5 after tumor injection. All animal procedures were conducted following the approved protocols of Fudan University’s Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee. Efforts were made to minimize the animals’ distress, pain, or discomfort throughout the study.

Prior to treatments initiation, mice were randomly assigned to different groups with similar average tumor volumes. For in vivo treatments, VC (4 g/kg body weight; daily; i.p.) (Sigma) or PBS control, Sora (15 mg/kg body weight; daily; i.g.) (MCE); PD-L1 antibodies (75 μg per mouse; twice a week; i.p.) (BioXCell) or IgG isotype control, rIL-2 (1 μg per mouse; daily; i.p.) (R&D systems) or PBS control, and C-176 (750 nmol per mouse; daily; i.p.) (MCE) or solvent were injected for 2 weeks beginning on day 7 after the establishment of mice liver cancer models. To deplete CD8+ T cells in vivo, mice were intraperitoneally injected with 100 μg of anti-CD8 antibody (BioXCell) or IgG isotype control (BioXCell) 3 days and 1 day before tumor implantation and twice weekly thereafter to ensure sustained depletion of CD8+ T cell subset during the experimental period.

Renca-WT and Renca-TOPK KD cells (1×106) were inoculated subcutaneously in the back of 6-8-week-old wild-type BALB/c mice. For the treatment group, Renca cell lines were inoculated with 1×106 cells subcutaneously on the back of 6-8-week-old wild-type BALB/c mice, and when the tumor volume grew to 50-100 mm3, the mice were randomly divided into four groups: control group, OTS964(TOPK inhibitors) treatment group, anti-PDL1 treatment group, and combination treatment group, respectively. InVivoMAb anti-mouse PD-L1 (Bio X Cell, West Lebanon, NH, USA) or IgG isotype control (Bio X Cell, West Lebanon, NH, USA) was administered to mice at a dose of 200ug/each by intraperitoneal injection every three days. For TOPK inhibitors, the tumors were administered orally at 40 mg/kg daily, while control mice received PBS orally. Tumor volumes were measured every three days along the long axis (a) and short axis (b), and tumor volumes were calculated using the following formula: V=ab2/2. Mice were sacrificed at the end of the experiment, tumors were excised and weighed, and tumor tissues were subsequently used for flow analysis, WB analysis, and immunohistochemistry, respectively.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
