Here, we show the dominance and importance of robust pulmonary intravascular macrophage clearance of nanoparticles in mediating adverse cardiopulmonary distress in pigs irrespective of complement activation. Specifically, we show that delaying particle recognition by macrophages within the first few minutes of injection overcomes adverse reactions in pigs using two independent approaches. First, we changed the particle geometry from a spherical shape (which triggers cardiopulmonary distress) to either rod-or disk-shape morphology. Second, we physically adhered spheres to the surface of erythrocytes.

The utility of rats as a CARPA model has, however, not been analyzed to date in detail. The present study compared the two models by inducing CARPA with i.v. bolus injections of two reactogenic liposomes that differed from each other in surface properties: one was AmBisome, a strong anionic, free-surface small unilamellar liposome (SUV), while the other was neutral, polyethylene glycol (PEG)-grafted SUV wherein the 2 kDa-PEG was anchored to the membrane via cholesterol (Chol-PEG). Both in pigs and rats AmBisome caused significant consumption of C3, indicating C activation, along with paralleling massive changes in blood pressure, white blood cell, platelet counts and in plasma thromboxane B2 levels, indicating CARPA. These processes were similar in the two species in terms of kinetics, but significantly differed in the doses that caused major hemodynamic changes (~ 0.01 and ~ 22 mg phospholipid (PL)/kg in pigs and rats, respectively). Pigs responded to AmBisome with pulmonary hypertension and systemic hypotension, and the reaction was not tachyphylactic. The major response of rats was systemic hypotension, leukopenia followed by leukocytosis, and thrombocytopenia. Chol-PEG liposomes caused severe reaction in pigs at 0.1 mg/kg, while the reaction they caused in rats was mild even at 300 mg PL/kg. Importantly, the reaction to Chol-PEG in pigs was partly tachyphylactic. These observations highlight fundamental differences in the immune mechanisms of porcine and rat CARPA, and also show a major impact of liposome surface characteristics, determining the presence or absence of tachyphylaxis. The data suggest that rats are 2-3 orders of magnitude less sensitive to liposomal CARPA than pigs; however, the causes of these differences, the PEG-dependent tachyphylaxis and the massive reactivity of Chol-PEG liposomes remain unclear. © 2014 Elsevier B.V.

The molecular mechanism of mild to severe allergy symptoms may differ from case to case and is mostly not known, however, in many cases a major cause, or contributing factor is activation of the complement (C) system. The clinical relevance of C activation-related HSRs, a non-IgE-mediated pseudoallergy (CARPA), lies in its unpredictability and occasional lethal outcome. Accordingly, there is an unmet medical need to develop laboratory assays and animal models that quantitate CARPA. This review provides basic information on CARPA; a short history, issues of nomenclature, incidence, classification of reactogenic drugs and symptoms, and the mechanisms of C activation via different pathways. It is pointed out that anaphylatoxin-induced mast cell release may not entirely explain the severe reactions; a "second hit" on allergy mediating cells may also contribute. In addressing the increasing requirements for CARPA testing, the review evaluates the available assays and animal models, and proposes a possible algorithm for the screening of reactogenic drugs and hypersensitive patients. Finally, an analogy is proposed between CARPA and the classic stress reaction, suggesting that CARPA represents a "blood stress" reaction, a systemic fight of the body against harmful biological and chemical agents via the anaphylatoxin/mast-cell/circulatory system axis, in analogy to the body's fight of physical and emotional stress via the hypothalamo/pituitary/adrenal axis. In both cases the response to a broad variety of noxious effects are funneled into a uniform pattern of physiological changes. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

Previously it has been shown that these reactions can be caused by activation of the complement (C) system by a negative charge on the anchor molecule of PEG at the liposomal surface. In this study it is tested whether the activation of the C system by PEG-liposomes could be significantly reduced to values comparable to nonreactive liposomal formulations, by changing the PEGylation-profile on the liposomal surface. Therefore, the formation of C activation markers SC5b-9, C3a, C4d and Bb in normal human serum by both prednisolone loaded and empty liposomes with a variation of PEG chain length, PEG surface concentration, PEG anchor molecule and liposomal size was determined using in vitro assays. The tested liposomes caused no or only mild (30%) activation of C except for one formulation wherein the PEG2000 was anchored to cholesterol (CHOL-PEG2000). The latter liposomes caused paralleling rises in SC5b-9 and Bb levels, suggesting excess activation of the alternative pathway. While the relative safety of weak C activator liposomes remains to be confirmed in vivo, the unique, non-charge and non-antibody-mediated direct conversion of C3 by CHOL-PEG2000 liposomes (although argues against the clinical development of these vesicles) opens new opportunities to understand liposomal C activation at the molecular level. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.

Patients and methods: Patients with solid tumors (n = 29) treated for the first time with Doxil were evaluated for HSRs and concurrent C activation. HSRs were classified from mild to severe, while C activation was estimated by serial measurement of plasma C terminal complex (SC5b-9) levels. Increases in SC5b-9 were compared in patients with or without reactions, and were correlated with Doxil dose rate. Results: Moderate to severe HSRs occurred in 45% of patients. Plasma SC5b-9 at 10 min after infusion was significantly elevated in 92% of reactor patients versus 56% in the non-reactor group, and the rise was greater in reactors than in non-reactors. We found significant association between C activation and HSRs, both showing direct correlation with the initial Doxil dose rate. Conclusions: C activation may play a key role in HSRs to Doxil.
