Open flow microperfusion

Last updated

Open flow microperfusion (OFM) is a sampling method for clinical and preclinical drug development studies and biomarker research. OFM is designed for continuous sampling of analytes from the interstitial fluid (ISF) of various tissues. It provides direct access to the ISF by insertion of a small, minimally invasive, membrane-free probe with macroscopic openings. [1] Thus, the entire biochemical information of the ISF becomes accessible regardless of the analyte's molecular size, protein-binding property or lipophilicity.[ citation needed ]

Contents

OFM is capable of sampling lipophilic and hydrophilic compounds, [2] protein bound and unbound drugs, [3] [4] neurotransmitters, peptides and proteins, antibodies, [5] [6] [7] nanoparticles and nanocarriers, enzymes and vesicles.

Method

The OFM probes are perfused with a physiological solution (the perfusate) which equilibrates with the ISF of the surrounding tissue. Operating flow rates range from 0.1 to 10 μL/min. OFM allows unrestricted exchange of compounds via an open structure across the open exchange area of the probe. This exchange of compounds between the probe’s perfusate and the surrounding ISF is driven by convection and diffusion, and occurs non-selectively in either direction (Figure 1).

The direct liquid pathway between the probe’s perfusate and the surrounding fluid results in collection of ISF samples. These samples can be collected frequently and are then subjected to bioanalytical analysis to enable monitoring of substance concentrations with temporal resolution during the whole sampling period. [8] [9]

The concentric OFM probe (Figure 2) works according to the same principle. The perfusate is pumped to the tip of the OFM probe through the inner, thin lumen and exits beyond the Open Exchange Area, where it then mixes with exogenous substances present in the ISF before being withdrawn through the outer, thick lumen.[ citation needed ]

History

The first OFM sampling probe to be used as an alternative to microdialysis was described in an Austrian patent application filed by Falko Skrabal in 1987, where OFM was described as a device, which can be implanted into the tissue of living organisms. [10] In 1992, a US patent was filed claiming a device for determining at least one medical variable in the tissue of living organisms. [11] In a later patent by Helmut Masoner, Falko Skrabal and Helmut List a linear type of the sampling probe with macroscopic circular holes was also disclosed. [12] Alternative and current OFM versions for dermal and adipose tissue application were developed by Joanneum Research, and were patented by Manfred Bodenlenz et al. [13] [14] Alternative materials featuring low absorption were used to enable manufacturing of probes with diameters of 0.55 mm and exchange areas of 15 mm in length. For cerebral application, special OFM probes were patented by Birngruber et al. [15] Additionally, a patent was filed to manage the fluid handling of the ISF by using a portable peristaltic pump with a flow range of 0.1 to 10 μL/min that enables operation of up to three probes per pump. [16]

OFM System

Two types of OFM probes are currently available: Linear OFM probes for implantation into superficial tissues such as skin (dermal OFM, dOFM) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (adipose OFM, aOFM) as well as concentric probes for implantation into various regions of the brain (cerebral OFM, cOFM).[ citation needed ]

Areas of application

OFM is routinely applied in pharmaceutical research in preclinical (e.g. mice, rats, pigs, primates) and in clinical studies in humans (Figure 3). OFM-related procedures such as probe insertions or prolonged sampling with numerous probes are well tolerated by the subjects. [1]

Dermal OFM (dOFM)

dOFM (Figure 4) allows the investigation of transport of drugs in the dermis and their penetration into the dermis after local, topical or systemic application, and dOFM is mentioned by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a new method for assessment of bioequivalence of topical drugs. [17] [18] [19]

dOFM is used for:

Head-to-head settings with OFM have proven particularly useful for the evaluation of topical generic products, which need to demonstrate bioequivalence [9] to the reference listed drug product to obtain market approval.

Applications of dOFM include ex vivo studies with tissue explants and preclinical and clinical in vivo studies.

Adipose OFM (aOFM)

aOFM (Figure 4) allows continuous on-line monitoring of metabolic processes in the subcutaneous adipose tissue, e.g. glucose and lactate, [21] [22] [23] as well as larger analytes such as insulin (5.9 kDa). [24] [23] The role of polypeptides for metabolic signaling (leptin, cytokine IL-6, TNFα) has also been studied with aOFM. [25] aOFM allows the quantification of proteins (e.g. albumin size: 68 kDa) in adipose tissue [4] and thus opens up the possibility to investigate protein-bound drugs directly in peripheral target tissues, such as highly protein-bound insulin analogues designed for a prolonged, retarded insulin action. [26] Most recently, aOFM has been used to sample agonists to study obesity, lipid metabolism and immune-inflammation. Applications of aOFM include ex vivo studies with tissue explants and preclinical and clinical in vivo studies.[ citation needed ]

Cerebral OFM (cOFM)

cOFM (Figure 5) is used to conduct PK/PD preclinical studies in the animal brain. Access to the brain includes monitoring of the blood-brain barrier function and drug transport across the intact blood-brain barrier. [27] cOFM allows taking a look behind the blood-brain barrier and assesses concentrations and effects of neuroactive substances directly in the targeted brain tissue. [28]

The blood-brain barrier is a natural shield that protects the brain and limits the exchange of nutrients, metabolites and chemical messengers between blood and brain. The blood-brain barrier also prevents potential harmful substances from entering and damaging the brain. However, this highly effective barrier also prevents neuroactive substances from reaching appropriate targets. For researchers that develop neuroactive drugs, it is therefore of major interest to know whether and to what extent an active pharmaceutical component can pass the blood-brain barrier. Experiments have shown that the blood-brain barrier has fully reestablished 15 days after implantation of the cOFM probe in the brain of rats. [29] The cOFM probe has been specially designed to avoid a reopening of the blood-brain barrier or causing additional trauma to the brain after implantation. cOFM enables continuous sampling of cerebral ISF with intact blood-brain barrier cOFM and thus allows continuous PK monitoring in brain tissue.[ citation needed ]

Quantification of ISF compounds

ISF compounds can be quantified either indirectly from merely diluted ISF samples by using OFM and additional calibration techniques, or directly from undiluted ISF samples which can be collected with additional OFM methods. Quantification of compounds from diluted ISF samples requires additional application of calibration methods, such as Zero Flow Rate, [30] No Net Flux [31] or Ionic Reference. [32] Zero Flow Rate has been used in combination with dOFM by Schaupp et al. [3] to quantify potassium, sodium and glucose in adipose ISF samples. No Net Flux has been applied to quantify several analytes in OFM studies in subcutaneous adipose, muscle and dermal ISF: the absolute lactate concentrations [33] and the absolute glucose concentrations in adipose ISF, [3] the absolute albumin concentration in muscle ISF [4] and the absolute insulin concentration in adipose and muscle ISF have been successfully determined. [34] Dragatin et al. [5] used No Net Flux in combination with dOFM to assess the absolute ISF concentration of a fully human therapeutic antibody. Ionic Reference has been used in combination with OFM to assess the absolute glucose concentration [3] and the absolute lactate concentration in adipose ISF. [33] Dermal OFM has also been used to quantify the concentrations of human insulin and an insulin analogue in the ISF with inulin as exogenous marker.[ citation needed ]

Additional OFM methods, such as OFM recirculation and OFM suction can collect undiluted ISF samples from which direct and absolute quantification of compounds is feasible. [35] OFM recirculation to collect undiluted ISF samples recirculates the perfusate in a closed loop until equilibrium concentrations between perfusate and ISF are established. Using albumin as analyte, 20 recirculation cycles have been enough to reach equilibrium ISF concentrations. OFM suction is performed by applying a mild vacuum, which pulls ISF from the tissue into the OFM probe.[ citation needed ]

Ketone bodies are water-soluble molecules or compounds that contain the ketone groups produced from fatty acids by the liver (ketogenesis). Ketone bodies are readily transported into tissues outside the liver, where they are converted into acetyl-CoA —which then enters the citric acid cycle and is oxidized for energy. These liver-derived ketone groups include acetoacetic acid (acetoacetate), beta-hydroxybutyrate, and acetone, a spontaneous breakdown product of acetoacetate.

While hyperinsulinemia is often seen in people with early stage type 2 diabetes mellitus, it is not the cause of the condition and is only one symptom of the disease. Type 1 diabetes only occurs when pancreatic beta-cell function is impaired. Hyperinsulinemia can be seen in a variety of conditions including diabetes mellitus type 2, in neonates and in drug-induced hyperinsulinemia. It can also occur in congenital hyperinsulinism, including nesidioblastosis.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Microdialysis</span> Biological fluid sampling technique

Microdialysis is a minimally-invasive sampling technique that is used for continuous measurement of free, unbound analyte concentrations in the extracellular fluid of virtually any tissue. Analytes may include endogenous molecules to assess their biochemical functions in the body, or exogenous compounds to determine their distribution within the body. The microdialysis technique requires the insertion of a small microdialysis catheter into the tissue of interest. The microdialysis probe is designed to mimic a blood capillary and consists of a shaft with a semipermeable hollow fiber membrane at its tip, which is connected to inlet and outlet tubing. The probe is continuously perfused with an aqueous solution (perfusate) that closely resembles the (ionic) composition of the surrounding tissue fluid at a low flow rate of approximately 0.1-5μL/min. Once inserted into the tissue or (body)fluid of interest, small solutes can cross the semipermeable membrane by passive diffusion. The direction of the analyte flow is determined by the respective concentration gradient and allows the usage of microdialysis probes as sampling as well as delivery tools. The solution leaving the probe (dialysate) is collected at certain time intervals for analysis.

11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase enzymes catalyze the conversion of inert 11 keto-products (cortisone) to active cortisol, or vice versa, thus regulating the access of glucocorticoids to the steroid receptors.

In biochemistry, lipogenesis is the conversion of fatty acids and glycerol into fats, or a metabolic process through which acetyl-CoA is converted to triglyceride for storage in fat. Lipogenesis encompasses both fatty acid and triglyceride synthesis, with the latter being the process by which fatty acids are esterified to glycerol before being packaged into very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL). Fatty acids are produced in the cytoplasm of cells by repeatedly adding two-carbon units to acetyl-CoA. Triacylglycerol synthesis, on the other hand, occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane of cells by bonding three fatty acid molecules to a glycerol molecule. Both processes take place mainly in liver and adipose tissue. Nevertheless, it also occurs to some extent in other tissues such as the gut and kidney. A review on lipogenesis in the brain was published in 2008 by Lopez and Vidal-Puig. After being packaged into VLDL in the liver, the resulting lipoprotein is then secreted directly into the blood for delivery to peripheral tissues.

Glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4), also known as solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 4, is a protein encoded, in humans, by the SLC2A4 gene. GLUT4 is the insulin-regulated glucose transporter found primarily in adipose tissues and striated muscle. The first evidence for this distinct glucose transport protein was provided by David James in 1988. The gene that encodes GLUT4 was cloned and mapped in 1989.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Pharmacokinetics</span> Branch of pharmacology

Pharmacokinetics, sometimes abbreviated as PK, is a branch of pharmacology dedicated to describing how the body affects a specific substance after administration. The substances of interest include any chemical xenobiotic such as pharmaceutical drugs, pesticides, food additives, cosmetics, etc. It attempts to analyze chemical metabolism and to discover the fate of a chemical from the moment that it is administered up to the point at which it is completely eliminated from the body. Pharmacokinetics is based on mathematical modeling that places great emphasis on the relationship between drug plasma concentration and the time elapsed since the drug's administration. Pharmacokinetics is the study of how an organism affects the drug, whereas pharmacodynamics (PD) is the study of how the drug affects the organism. Both together influence dosing, benefit, and adverse effects, as seen in PK/PD models.

In molecular biology, the sulfonylurea receptors (SUR) are membrane proteins which are the molecular targets of the sulfonylurea class of antidiabetic drugs whose mechanism of action is to promote insulin release from pancreatic beta cells. More specifically, SUR proteins are subunits of the inward-rectifier potassium ion channels Kir6.x. The association of four Kir6.x and four SUR subunits form an ion conducting channel commonly referred to as the KATP channel.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Fatty acid-binding protein</span>

The fatty-acid-binding proteins (FABPs) are a family of transport proteins for fatty acids and other lipophilic substances such as eicosanoids and retinoids. These proteins are thought to facilitate the transfer of fatty acids between extra- and intracellular membranes. Some family members are also believed to transport lipophilic molecules from outer cell membrane to certain intracellular receptors such as PPAR. The FABPs are intracellular carriers that “solubilize” the endocannabinoid anandamide (AEA), transporting AEA to the breakdown by FAAH, and compounds that bind to FABPs block AEA breakdown, raising its level. The cannabinoids are also discovered to bind human FABPs that function as intracellular carriers, as THC and CBD inhibit the cellular uptake and catabolism of AEA by targeting FABPs. Competition for FABPs may in part or wholly explain the increased circulating levels of endocannabinoids reported after consumption of cannabinoids. Levels of fatty-acid-binding protein have been shown to decline with ageing in the mouse brain, possibly contributing to age-associated decline in synaptic activity.

Congenital generalized lipodystrophy is an extremely rare autosomal recessive condition, characterized by an extreme scarcity of fat in the subcutaneous tissues. It is a type of lipodystrophy disorder where the magnitude of fat loss determines the severity of metabolic complications.
