Rituximab (anti-CD20)-modified AZD-2014-encapsulated nanoparticles killing of B lymphoma cells.
The mTOR signal pathway is often highly activated in B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and promotes cancer progression and chemo-resistance. Therefore, the pathways of mTOR are an important target for drug development in this disease. In the current study, we developed a rituximab (anti-CD20)-modified mTOR inhibitor, AZD-2014, loaded into nanoparticles (Ab-NPs-AZD-2014) for trial of its anti-NHL effect. In a cultured NHL cell line, Ab-NPs-AZD-2014 inhibited cancer cell growth, induced cell apoptosis, and blocked activation of mTORC1 and mTORC2 in Raji cells. These results indicate that antibody modification and nanomaterial loading of AZD-2014 with anti-CD20 significantly improved efficacy of AZD-2014 against NHL cells. This approach may ultimately deserve testing in therapy against NHL.
