Anti-polyethylene glycol antibodies alter the protein corona deposited on nanoparticles and the physiological pathways regulating their fate in vivo.
Journal of Controlled Release 2018 October 11
Multiple studies highlight the strong prevalence of anti-poly(ethylene glycol) (anti-PEG) antibodies in the general human population. As we develop therapeutic modalities using this polymer, it is increasingly relevant to assess the importance of anti-PEG antibodies on biological performances. Here, we show that the anti-PEG Immunoglobulin M (IgM) raised in mice following the injection of polymeric nanoparticles could have significant neutralizing effects on subsequent doses of PEGylated nanosystems in vivo. The circulation times of PEGylated nanoparticles and liposomes were strongly reduced in animals with circulating anti-PEG IgMs, irrespective of the PEG density or the surface properties of the system. In comparison, despite that anti-PEG IgMs could bind free methoxy-terminated PEG and PEGylated bovine serum albumin, the circulation kinetics of these systems remained unaltered in the presence of antibodies. The binding of IgMs to the PEGylated surface of nanoparticles alters the nature of the proteins adsorbed in the surrounding corona, notably due to the activation of the complement cascade. These changes are responsible for the observed differences in circulation times. In comparison, the PEG-BSA is unable to activate complement, even in the presence of anti-PEG IgMs. These results inform on how anti-PEG antibodies can affect the fate of PEGylated nanomaterials and highlight how the architecture of nanoparticles impacts the deposition of the protein corona.
