硫酸化透明质酸-聚乙烯亚胺-多酚缀合物的siTNF-α递送载体构建与评价

Construction and evaluation of siTNF-α delivery system based on sulfated hyaluronan-polyethyleneimine-polyphenol conjugates

  • 摘要: 为降低聚乙烯亚胺递送系统的细胞毒性,并实现载体-药物协同抗炎治疗,构建多种基于硫酸化透明质酸-聚乙烯亚胺-多酚三元复合物载体,用于递送肿瘤坏死因子-α小干扰RNA(small interfering RNA targeting tumor necrosis factor-α,siTNF-α)。通过系统表征筛选,发现硫酸化透明质酸-聚乙烯亚胺-咖啡酸(sulfated hyaluronan-polyethyleneimine-caffeic acid,S-HA-PEI-CA)具有理想的粒径分布(1~2 μm)、稳定的微粒结构、优良的生物安全性与较强的siTNF-α负载能力(20 μg/mg)。体外实验表明,S-HA-PEI-CA显著抑制了脂多糖(lipopolysaccharide,LPS)诱导的巨噬细胞(RAW264.7)炎症因子表达水平;同时,显著上调了抗炎表型蛋白标志物精氨酸酶-1(arginase-1,Arg-1),抑制了促炎表型蛋白标志物诱导型一氧化氮合酶(inducible nitric oxide synthase,iNOS)的表达,从而促进巨噬细胞向抗炎表型转化。流式细胞术与激光共聚焦显微成像验证,S-HA-PEI-CA展现出显著的巨噬细胞靶向性,可通过材料的内吞作用实现siTNF-α高效递送,基因沉默效率达42.49%。综上,该递送载体不仅具有高生物相容性,还能利用载体固有抗炎活性产生协同治疗效应,进一步提升siTNF-α药物治疗效能,为siRNA递送系统开发带来新思路。

     

    Abstract: To address the cytotoxicity of polyethyleneimine-based siRNA delivery systems and achieve a carrier-drug synergistic anti-inflammatory effect, this study synthesized several sulfated hyaluronan-polyethyleneimine-polyphenol ternary complexes and evaluated their physicochemical and biological potential as siTNF-α delivery carriers. The sulfated hyaluronan-polyethyleneimine-caffeic acid (S-HA-PEI-CA) composite was found to exhibit ideal particle size distribution (1~2 μm), stable microparticle structure, excellent biosafety and strong siTNF-α loading capacity (20 μg/mg). The in vitro experiments demonstrated that S-HA-PEI-CA significantly suppressed the transcription of pro-inflammatory cytokines in LPS-activated RAW264.7 cells. Concurrently, the system markedly upregulated anti-inflammatory arginase-1 (Arg-1) protein expression while inhibiting pro-inflammatory inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) protein production, promoting macrophage transition towards an anti-inflammatory phenotype. Flow cytometry and confocal laser scanning microscopy confirmed S-HA-PEI-CA possessed significant macrophage-targeting capability and achieved efficient siTNF-α delivery via material endocytosis with a gene silencing efficiency of 42.49%. In summary, this delivery carrier not only has high biocompatibility, but also can leverage its inherent anti-inflammatory activity to produce synergistic therapeutic effects, thus further improving the therapeutic efficacy and bringing new ideas for the development of siRNA delivery systems.
