Granting specificity for breast cancer cells using a hepatitis B core particle with a HER2-targeted affibody molecule

Capsid-like particles consisting of a hepatitis B core (HBc) protein have been studied for their potential as carriers for drug delivery systems (DDS). The hollow HBc particle, which is formed by the self-assembly of core proteins comprising 183 aa residues, has the ability to bind to various cells...

Granting specificity for breast cancer cells using a hepatitis B core particle with a HER2-targeted affibody molecule
description Capsid-like particles consisting of a hepatitis B core (HBc) protein have been studied for their potential as carriers for drug delivery systems (DDS). The hollow HBc particle, which is formed by the self-assembly of core proteins comprising 183 aa residues, has the ability to bind to various cells non-specifically via the action of an arginine-rich domain. In this study, we developed an engineered HBc particle that specifically recognises and targets human epidermal growth factor receptor-related 2 (HER2)-expressing breast cancer cells. To despoil the non-specific binding property of an HBc particle, we genetically deleted the C-terminal 150–183 aa part of the core protein that encodes the arginine-rich domain (ΔHBc). Then, we genetically inserted a ZHER2 affibody molecule into the 78–81 aa position of the core protein to confer the ability of target-cell-specific recognition.
