          Abstract

          Previous research suggests that carbohydrate mimetic peptide IF7 (IFLLWQR) has an excellent targeting property to annexin1 (Anxa1), a specific marker on the tumor endothelium. However, IF7 is susceptible to proteolysis and has a poor stability in vivo. We prepared a D-amino acid, reverse sequence peptide of IF7, designated RIF7, to confer protease resistance while retaining bioactivity. Experimental results indicate that RIF7 had significantly increased stability and an increased receptor binding affinity than IF7, and this new moiety may represent a clinically relevant vehicle for anticancer drugs.

          Drug delivery and targeting.

          R. Langer (1998)
          When a pharmaceutical agent is encapsulated within, or attached to, a polymer or lipid, drug safety and efficacy can be greatly improved and new therapies are possible. This has provided the impetus for active study of the design of degradable materials, intelligent delivery systems and approaches for delivery through different portals in the body.

            Subtractive proteomic mapping of the endothelial surface in lung and solid tumours for tissue-specific therapy.

            The molecular complexity of tissues and the inaccessibility of most cells within a tissue limit the discovery of key targets for tissue-specific delivery of therapeutic and imaging agents in vivo. Here, we describe a hypothesis-driven, systems biology approach to identifying a small subset of proteins induced at the tissue-blood interface that are inherently accessible to antibodies injected intravenously. We use subcellular fractionation, subtractive proteomics and bioinformatics to identify endothelial cell surface proteins exhibiting restricted tissue distribution and apparent tissue modulation. Expression profiling and gamma-scintigraphic imaging with antibodies establishes two of these proteins, aminopeptidase-P and annexin A1, as selective in vivo targets for antibodies in lungs and solid tumours, respectively. Radio-immunotherapy to annexin A1 destroys tumours and increases animal survival. This analytical strategy can map tissue- and disease-specific expression of endothelial cell surface proteins to uncover novel accessible targets useful for imaging and therapy.
