Extracellular vesicles for repolarizing macrophages in cancer treatment
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230365971A1) describes an extracellular vesicle containing immunomodulating components that can repolarize macrophages from an M2 to an M1 phenotype upon contact. These components include antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) or inhibitory RNAs targeting specific genes like KRAS, HIF1-alpha, and STAT3. The extracellular vesicle, which can be an exosome, aims to target tumor-associated macrophages in conditions like pancreatic cancer. Additionally, the patent mentions the inclusion of additional immunomodulating components like small molecule drugs, antibodies, or therapeutic proteins to enhance the therapeutic effect.
Furthermore, the patent outlines methods for treating diseases, particularly cancer, by administering the extracellular vesicle to modulate gene expression in macrophages. By increasing the secretion of inflammatory cytokines and decreasing immunosuppressive factors, the repolarized macrophages are expected to enhance the stimulation of CD8+ T-cells and Natural Killer cells. The patent also includes a specific method for treating pancreatic cancer by targeting human wild-type KRAS with inhibitory RNA, leading to a more significant polarization of tumor-resident macrophages compared to targeting KRASG12D. These innovative approaches highlight the potential of extracellular vesicles in immunotherapy and cancer treatment.
