Abstract

To reveal the potential use of lactosylated-dendrimer (G3) conjugates with α-cyclodextrin (Lac-α-CDE (G3)) as novel hepatocyte-specific siRNA carriers in order to treat transthyretin (TTR)-related familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP), we evaluated the RNAi effect of siRNA complexes with Lac-α-CDE (G3) both in vitro and in vivo. Herein, we targeted TTR gene expression because TTR-related FAP was often caused by amyloidogenic TTR (ATTR), which mainly expresses in hepatocytes. Lac-α-CDE (G3, average degree of substitution of lactose (DSL) 1.2)/siRNA complex had a potent RNAi effect against TTR gene expression through adequate physicochemical properties, asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGP-R)-mediated cellular uptake, efficient endosomal escape and the delivery of the siRNA complex to cytoplasm, but not nucleus, with negligible cytotoxicity. Lac-α-CDE (G3, DSL 1.2)/siRNA complex had the potential to induce the in vivo RNAi effect after intravenous administration in the liver of mice. The blood chemistry values in the α-CDE (G3) and Lac-α-CDE (G3, DSL 1.2) systems were almost equivalent to those in the control system (5% mannitol solution). Taken together, these results suggest that Lac-α-CDE (G3, DSL 1.2) has the potential for a novel hepatocyte-selective siRNA carrier in vitro and in vivo, and has a possibility as a therapeutic tool for FAP to the liver transplantation.

摘要

为了揭示乳糖化树枝状聚合物(G3)与α-环糊精(Lac-α-CDE(G3))缀合物作为新型肝细胞特异性 siRNA 载体在转甲状腺素蛋白(TTR)相关家族性淀粉样多神经病(FAP)治疗中的潜在用途,我们评估了 Lac-α-CDE(G3)与 siRNA 复合物的 RNAi 效应,无论是在体外还是体内。在此,我们针对 TTR 基因表达进行了研究,因为 TTR 相关 FAP 通常是由淀粉样 TTR(ATTR)引起的,ATTR 主要在肝细胞中表达。Lac-α-CDE(G3,乳糖取代度(DSL)1.2 的平均值)/siRNA 复合物具有通过适当的物理化学性质、通过去唾液酸糖蛋白受体(ASGP-R)介导的细胞摄取、有效的内体逃逸以及将 siRNA 复合物递送至细胞质(而非细胞核)来实现高效 RNAi 效应的潜力,但细胞毒性可忽略不计。Lac-α-CDE(G3,DSL 1.2)/siRNA 复合物在小鼠肝脏静脉内给药后具有在体内诱导 RNAi 效应的潜力。α-CDE(G3)和 Lac-α-CDE(G3,DSL 1.2)系统中的血液化学值几乎与对照组(5%甘露醇溶液)相当。综上所述,这些结果表明 Lac-α-CDE(G3,DSL 1.2)具有在体外和体内作为新型肝细胞选择性 siRNA 载体的潜力,并有可能成为肝脏移植治疗 FAP 的治疗工具。
