Data from: Plant-produced viral nanoparticles decorated with nanobodies against HER2 improve retention and recruitment of immune cells in solid tumors

Listed in DataCite

Potato virus X (PVX), a filamentous, positive-sense RNA plant virus, has been engineered into a molecular tool for diverse biotechnological applications, including cancer cell targeting.

Description

Here, we present the production and functional characterization of genetically-encoded PVX-derived nanoparticles decorated with nanobodies targeting two common receptors in human cancer cells, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2).

We first generated a series of PVX-derived nanoparticles displaying distinct nanobodies against EGFR and HER2 in Nicotiana benthamiana plants. Self-assembly and structural integrity of the recombinant nanoparticles were confirmed by immunogold electron microscopy. We next characterized in vitro the cancer-cell binding capacity of the different recombinant viral nanoparticles (VNPs) by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy.

Best performing VNPs were further assayed in vivo using tumor-bearing mice. Results showed that nanobody decoration can increase retention time and myeloid cell recruitment in the tumor microenvironment in HER2+ mouse tumor models in vivo. In conclusion, nanobody-displaying PVX-derived nanoparticles may constitute a new promising plant-produced biotechnological product for cancer immunotherapy.
