HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 25 November 2022 – A Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) collaborative research team has synthesised a nanoparticle named TRZD that can perform the dual function of diagnosing and treating glioma in the brain. It emits persistent luminescence for the diagnostic imaging of glioma tissues in vivo and inhibits the growth of tumour cells by aiding the targeted delivery of chemotherapy drugs. The nanoparticle offers hope for the early diagnosis and treatment of glioma, especially cerebellar glioma, which is even harder to detect and cure with existing methods.

The research results have been published in Science Advances, an international scientific journal.

Limitations of existing diagnostic and therapeutic approaches

Glioma is the most common form of malignant primary brain tumour, and it accounts for about one-third of all brain tumours. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is commonly used to diagnose glioma, but the technology is not that sensitive. Cerebellar glioma, a relatively rare brain tumour, is even harder to detect with MRI. To facilitate early detection and treatment, an alternative method with improved sensitivity and precision is needed to diagnose glioma.

Doxorubicin, a chemotherapy agent, is an effective treatment for glioma. However, its application may also damage normal cells, and it is associated with a range of side effects. To enhance doxorubicin’s clinical efficacy and minimise its side effects, a novel approach is needed to apply the drug to tumour cells in a more targeted manner.

In response to the diagnostic and therapeutic needs of glioma, a research team co-led by Dr Wang Yi, Assistant Professor of the Department of Chemistry at HKBU, and Professor Law Ga-lai, Professor of the Department of Applied Biology and Chemical Technology at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, has synthesised a novel near-infrared (NIR) persistent luminescence nanoparticle called TRZD, which can play a dual role in diagnostic imaging and as a drug carrier for glioma.

TRZD has the characteristic of emitting NIR persistent luminescence after excitation with ultraviolet (UV) light. The basic structure of TRZD is a combination of nanoparticles, loaded with the mesoporous structure of silica, which makes it a good carrier of doxorubicin particles. Its surface is coated with red blood cell membranes to increase its stability, and it is embedded with T7 peptides. T7 peptides have a strong affinity for transferrin receptors which are abundant on the surface of tumour cells, and they can facilitate TRZD’s penetration through the blood-brain barrier.

An imaging probe for glioma diagnosis

The research team evaluated the efficacy of TRZ (i.e. TRZD without doxorubicin) in diagnostic imaging for glioma with a mouse model. TRZ particles were first excited by UV light to initiate luminescence. Mice with tumour tissues injected into their cerebrum and cerebellum were then treated with TRZ. In the following 24 hours, TRZ luminescence was detected at the tumour sites of the mice.

However, when the same experiment was conducted with TRZ without T7 peptides, and TRZ without both the red blood cell membrane coating and T7 peptides, no luminescence was detected at the tumour sites of the mice. The results show that the red blood cell membrane coating can prolong the function of TRZ by stabilising the nanoparticle, and it can slow down its natural uptake by the human body. On the other hand, T7 peptides are instrumental in TRZ’s penetration into and accumulation in tumour cells, so that it can perform its imaging function for glioma.

Dr Wang said: “Our experiment suggests that TRZ is a promising bioimaging agent for the diagnosis of glioma. It was observed that TRZ’s luminescence can be detected in tumour cells in both the cerebrum and cerebellum regions of the brain, which is an encouraging result because glioma in the cerebellum region is difficult to detect with existing diagnostic methods. As a result, TRZ offers new hope for the timely and accurate diagnosis of glioma.”

TRZD inhibits the growth of glioma and extends the lifespan of mice

The research team further evaluated the anti-tumour efficacy of TRZD using a group of mice who had had their cerebrum and cerebellum injected with tumour tissues. After applying TRZD for 15 days, the average diameter of their tumours was reduced to 1 mm. They also survived 20 days longer on average compared to the control group, who had not received TRZD. Besides, cell death was observed in the tumour region but not in normal brain tissue.

Dr Wang said: “The experimental results indicate that TRZD’s therapeutic effect on glioma has good selectivity, because doxorubicin is brought specifically to tumour cells due to T7 peptide’s strong affinity with tumour cells’ surface receptors and its ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier. As a result, doxorubicin can be applied in a more targeted manner, and hopefully its side effects can be minimised with a reduced drug dosage.

“We concluded that TRZD demonstrates promising potential, and it could be developed into a new generation of anti-glioma drugs that can perform the dual function of diagnosis and treatment. It also offers hope for the development of treatment protocols for other brain diseases.”

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 25 November 2022 – Hongkong Land HOME FUND (“HOME FUND“) yesterday completed two momentous years of empowering younger generations, promoting social inclusion, and helping disadvantaged families facing housing-related social issues. To mark the second anniversary of HOME FUND, Hongkong Land announced new partnerships for 2023, and shared various achievements of the past two years.

Launched in November 2020, with an initial investment of HK$100 million, HOME FUND has been actively collaborating with various non-governmental organisations (“NGOs”) on a series of community outreach programmes aimed at helping local communities aspire for a better future. Since its inception, HOME FUND has already committed over HK$80 million, touching the lives of more than 150,000 people and growing its NGO partnerships from an initial three to more than 80.

To provide support during the fifth COVID-19 wave in Hong Kong earlier this year, a further HK$15 million was injected into HOME FUND, to provide emergency support to 116,000 people in Hong Kong. Some of HOME FUND‘s key projects in 2022 include:

Empowering Youth through Life and Career Coaching Initiatives:

• In partnership with The Society of Rehabilitation and Crime Prevention, Hong Kong, HOME FUND sponsored a career and life planning project for nearly 300 young people from ethnic minorities aged 15 to 29, to equip them with Chinese language skills, expand career opportunities and aspire to a promising future.
• HOME FUND collaborated with the Hong Kong Christian Service to set up a dedicated team as part of early intervention efforts to identify the hidden disadvantaged youth in society and design social, family and career programmes to help them become productive members of society, approaching life with renewed confidence.
• In line with HOME FUND‘s community investment strategy, the Hongkong Land HERE2HELP volunteer team contributed at least 1,900 volunteering hours through well-structured programmes like career coaching, homework tutoring and thematic educational workshops. With a 20% participation rate from Hong Kong-based employees, their efforts have helped over 15,000 people in need.
• Sponsored by HOME FUND and curated by The Hong Kong Council of Social Service, ‘Project Futuremark’ is a two-year programme to assist the upward mobility of 1,000 young people living in sub-divided flats through creative learning workshops related to education, social connections, family relations, health and hygiene, and employment experience. More than 30 workshops have been completed and the programme is currently recruiting more partners. With the commencement of the second cohort in November, over 30 NGO partners have been engaged.

Providing a Better Living and Study Environment for the Community:

• HOME FUND collaborated with twelve Hongkong Land business partners to work on an Improvement Project for the Christian Zheng Sheng Association. Recognised as the ‘Corporate Social Responsibility Project of the Year’ at the RICS Awards 2022, the project has improved the living conditions of students by revamping their dormitory and equipping the kitchen with essential items for cooking and training purposes.
• Supported by HOME FUND, the Jockey Club Design Institute of Social Innovation at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) produced ergonomically designed furniture to enable a conducive learning environment for nearly 2,000 children living in sub-divided units. The furniture will be distributed by the end of this year and volunteers will be deployed by PolyU, to teach the children how to use the furniture safely.

“Two years ago, HOME FUND established with a vision to empower the local community in Hong Kong and inspire our next generation with better opportunities for the future. Looking back on our journey, we are proud of how far we have come and all the lives that have been impacted along the way,” said Mr John Simpkins, Executive Director & General Counsel of Hongkong Land. “In the years to come, we hope that our projects will serve as a leading model for social impact collaboration and encourage more organisations to join hands with us as we continue to serve the needs of the community.”

In 2023, HOME FUND will continue to renew its investments across all its key projects, whilst growing its network of NGO partners:

• As part of a multi-year commitment, HOME FUND will partner with Light Be over the next three years on ‘Youth Light Home’, where it aims to improve the upward mobility of disadvantaged young adults who are going through the transition from school to the workplace. This initiative will offer young adults transitional housing and help them develop their careers and financial resilience.
• In addition to supporting young adults, HOME FUND will also provide assistance to primary and secondary students with various special needs. The partnership with RMHC Hong Kong will promote the academic development of nearly 200 underprivileged children suffering from chronic illness, by providing them with timely guidance from qualified part-time teachers, to enhance their opportunities and learning abilities.

This festive season, Hongkong Land has once again aligned HOME FUND to support young people in need and promote social inclusion. Built around a special theme that honours the idea of ‘Love is in the Giving’, Christmas at LANDMARK this year reflects HOME FUND‘s spirit of giving back to the community. Proceeds from LANDMARK’s Christmas installation ticketing, merchandising and Christmas Charity Booths will be shared with four designated charity partners, all of whom have been empowered by Hongkong Land HOME FUND, including Box of Hope; Make-a-Wish Hong Kong; The Society of Rehabilitation & Crime Prevention, Hong Kong (SRACP); and Shine Skills Centre of Vocational Training Council.
