| + | <h1> Modeling overview </h1> |
− | | + | |
− | <h2> 1.1 Introduction </h2> <br><br>
| + | |
− |
| + | |
− | Pharmacokinetics is the quantitative study of drug absorption,
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | distribution and metabolism in the body. Pharmacokinetic data are indispensable for
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | phase I clinical trials to evaluate the tissue distribution and safety of drugs. To
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | construct a strategy for developing efficient and safe in vivo RNAi therapy systems,
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | pharmacokinetics at whole body, organ, cellular and sub-cellular levels need to be
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | considered [1]. <br><br>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | In our laboratory study (GFP experiment), we obtained a qualitative
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | description of in vivo drug distribution after systematic administration. A
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | computational and compartmental model was built to provide mechanistic insights into a
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | quantitative explanation of the experimental results. <br><br>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | <B> Three primary aspects were counted in this pharmacokinetic model: <br>
| + | |
− | i) theoretically predicting the effect of RVG modification of the targeting ability of
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | exosomes,<br>
| + | |
− | ii) approximating time-series exosome (siRNA) concentration data for use in modeling
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | RNAi kinetics in target tissue and subsequently calculating the effective dose, and
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | <br>
| + | |
− | iii) determining what portion of the delivery system could be improved based on
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | simulation data. </B> <br><br>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | <h2> 1.2 Model methods </h2> <br><br>
| + | |
− | The process of drug delivery in humans and mice is quite
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | complex. Physiologically speaking, drug delivery after administration can be simplified
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | into two separate phases: <br>
| + | |
− | <B> i) circulation from a central compartment (blood) to a
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | peripheral compartment (body tissues), and</B> <br>
| + | |
− | <B> ii) uptake and trafficking at cellular and sub-cellular
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | levels in target tissues.</B> <br>
| + | |
− | Although physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | have been widely used in clinical trials, few described the cellular uptake behavior
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | because most of the available drugs, at present, are chemically synthesized and have
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | different biological properties compared with exosomes. Exosomes differ from
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | conventional chemical drugs because of their distinct biological characteristics as
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | microvesicles [2]. <B>Thus, we would like to modify the current PBPK model and add
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | details regarding cellular uptake behavior based on the biological nature of
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | exosomes.</B><br><br>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | <h3> 1.2.1 Modeling multi-compartmental transport</h3> <br>
| + | |
− | In our laboratory work, we measured the relative level of GFP
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | in the brain, liver, lung and spleen after injecting anti-GFP siRNA into mouse.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | <B>Thus, we examined separate compartments for the brain, liver, lung and spleen.</B>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Other tissues were merged into one compartment. Each peripheral compartment had blood
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | exchange with the central blood circulation, during which a certain percentage of
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | exosomes were captured into the extracellular matrix of endothelial cells in different
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | tissues.<br><br>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | | + | |
− | <img src="https://2015.igem.org/File:NJU-China-Model_Figure1.jpg"> <!--插入第一幅图--> <br><br>

− | | + | |
− | | + | |
− | Figure 1. Schematic diagram of the arrangement of different tissues in the
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | pharmacokinetic model. The blood, along with exosomes, circulates from the central
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | compartment to five peripheral compartments.<br><br>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | As membrane vesicles, exosomes may rapidly shift from
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | associating with other complexes and disassociating into a free format during blood
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | circulation. Moreover, the ultimate fate of exosomes, similar to other microvesicles,
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | is degradation by lysosomes after internalization via a common process discussed later.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Research has shown that microvesicles, containing miRNAs or siRNAs, are stable in serum
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | and play significant biological roles in cell communication [3]. Furthermore, the
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | elimination of exosomes occurs primarily in specific tissues rather than in blood
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | circulation, albeit that the half-life of exosomes in blood circulation is much shorter
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | [4].<B> These two findings suggest that the elimination rate of exosomes in blood
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | circulation is negligible compared with that in target tissues and does not need to be
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | considered in this portion of the pharmacokinetic model.</B><br><br>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Using standard mass action kinetics, the equations below
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | describe the change in the concentration (mass) of free exosomes over time in blood and
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | target tissues. Here, <I>kblooddis</I> and <I>kbloodbind</I> represents the association
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | and disassociation, respectively, of exosomes to other complexes in the blood
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | circulation.<br><br>

− | | + | |
− | absorbed by tissues. Therefore, <I>partitiontissue</I> is included to describe the

− | <h3>1.2.2 Modeling cellular uptake and intracellular trafficking</h3> <br><br>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Extracellular vesicles can be internalized by cells via a
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | variety of pathways, namely, phagocytosis, clathrin- and caveolin-mediated endocytosis
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | and macropinocytosis [7]. We assume that receptor-mediated endocytosis is the major
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | pathway of primary exosome internalization.<br> <br>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | The cellular uptake pathway is summarized in Figure_2.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Exosomes bind to the membranes of target cells after being captured by the
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | extracellular matrix and then internalized through endocytosis. The receptor-ligand
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | interaction may facilitate this process. After internalization, the RISC complex may
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | escape from endosomes, and endosomes may be ultimately eliminated by lysosomes.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Although other pathways such as transcytosis and exocytosis following endocytosis may
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | occur, we did not take them into account for simplification.<br><br>
| + | |

− | Figure 2. Pathways that participate in exosomes uptake by target cells. Exosomes are
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | transported from the extracellular matrix to the cell surface and undergo intracellular
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | trafficking after internalization. The RISC complex in exosomes is released, and
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | exosomes are ultimately degraded.<br><br>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | We used several equations to describe the above pathway. RVG
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | modification helps exosomes bind acetylcholine receptors specifically expressed in
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | neuronal cells. <B>Exosomes internalization is much easier provided that more exosomes
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | bind target cells.</B> The binding process is modeled using mass action kinetics.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | <I>AR</I> denotes the number of acetylcholine receptors on target cells, and <I>km</I>
| + | |
− | | + | |

− | | + | |
− | binding is summarized using <I>kbindtissue</I>.<br><br>

− | | + | |
− | <I>kc</I>. <I>kescendvec</I> represents the escape rate of the RISC complex from

− | This part of work is based on literature [5].<br> <br>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | | + | |
− | <h2> 1.3 Parameter finding and adjustment </h2> <br><br>
| + | |
− | The most challenging part of modeling is finding and
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | adjusting parameters. After reviewing the literature, we unfortunately found that few
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | of the parameters have been measured or reported directly. The original paper written
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | by Bartlett and Davis uses synthetic polyplexes as carriers to deliver siRNA [5]. The
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | stability and targeting ability of synthetic polyplexes diverge considerably from
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | exosomes due to their different biochemical nature. Using all the parameters in the
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | original paper without adjustment would not be appropriate because of different
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | biochemical natures and consequences of these delivery systems. <br><br>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Parameter adjustment is not unusual in modeling biological
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | processes. This endeavor is a somewhat uncertain endeavor and lacks specific
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | procedures. In an iterative process, each set of parameters must be run through the
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | model and modified to bring the output of the model into better and better agreement
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | with observed experiment and literature results [9]. <B>Following this doctrine, we ran
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | our simulation and attempted to fit the results to the experimental and literature
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | data. </B><br><br>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | <B>You can access the description of model variables and
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | parameters here.</B> The determination of the parameters is also described in the list.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | When one parameter was reported in the literature, we cited the literature directly;
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | when the parameter was not accessible but could be estimated and fitted to the
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | literature or experimental results, we used the terms “estimated from literature and
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | experimental results”.<br><br>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | <h2>1.4 Results</h2> <br><br>
| + | |
− | We simulated the pharmacokinetic model and obtained initial
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | results. Unfortunately, the results showed that the model was not accurate.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | <B>Distinguishing the effects of RVG modification on the tissue distribution of
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | exosomes was difficult, as shown in the figure below.</B><br><br>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | ————这里放Figure.3的图,就是那个Control-Without RVG modification——<br><br>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Figure 3. Effect of RVG modification on the tissue distribution of exosomes. A: Without
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | RVG modification; B: With RVG modification. The initial results are simulated with
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | partitionbrain set at 1×10-1.<br><br>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Why did we obtain unrealistic simulation results? The answer
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | simply lies in the parameter set we chose. <B>After performing parameter sensitivity
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | analysis, we were surprised to find that exosome bindings to the neuronal cell surface
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | does not determine the internalization rate.</B> In contrast, <I>paritionbrain</I> is
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | more sensitive, indicating that the rate limiting step for exosome internalization is
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | its effective dose fraction to targeted cells.<br> <br>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | We next carefully investigated the presence of BBB and the
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | effect of RGV modification on paritionbrain. The blood brain barrier is formed by
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | endothelial cells at the level of cerebral capillaries [10]. The cerebral endothelial
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | cells may form complex tight junctions that interfere with permeability. The binding of
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | RVG to acetylcholine receptors, which are present in high density at the neuromuscular
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | junction, would provide a mechanism whereby exosomes could be locally concentrated at
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | sites in proximity to peripheral nerves, facilitating subsequent uptake and transfer to
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | the central nervous system [11]. <B>The local concentrating of exosomes at proximal
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | sites may significantly increase the effective dose fraction available to targeted
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | cells, resulting in a greater number of exosomes passing through the BBB and captured
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | by the extracellular matrix of target cells.</B> To our knowledge, this mechanism is
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | why exosomes may pass through the BBB much more easily after RVG modification. <B>Thus,
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | we hypothesized that <I>partitionbrain</I> may also be influenced by RVG
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | modification.</B><br><br>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | With <I>partitionbrain</I> increased by 6-fold, we finally
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | obtained optimized simulation results. The biological meaning of this parameter
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | adjustment is that RVG modification helps exosomes bind acetyl-choline receptors, not
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | only facilitating internalization into target cells but also increasing the ability of
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | exosomes to pass though the BBB by at least 6-fold.<br><br>

− | of exosomes without RVG modification. C-D: Case study of the time course of the

− | tissue-distribution of exosomes with RVG modification and MOR-siRNA as cargo. E: In
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | situ simulation of the tissue-distribution of exosomes.<br><br>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | We now better understand our delivery device using
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | computational simulation data. The half-life of exosomes in blood is short, which is
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | consistent with findings with the literature [12]. The tissue distribution pattern of
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | exosomes with or without RVG modifications is also consistent with findings in the
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | literature [13] and our GFP experiment. <br><br>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Furthermore, the simulation data shows that a small portion
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | of exosomes may also pass into non-targeted tissues due to circulation. We could
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | improve the targeting precision by further modifying the exosomes.<br><br>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | | + | |
− | <h2>1.5 Conclusion and Remarks</h2> <br><br>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | <B>In this module, we created a pharmacokinetic model to
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | simulate the time-dependent tissue distribution of exosomes at whole organ and cellular
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | levels. We theoretically tested the effect of RVG modification on the capability of
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | exosomes to pass through the BBB. The simulation results are consistent with
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | experimental measurements, and provide clues regarding improvements to the delivery
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | device.</B><br><br>
