To develop cationic lipid-coated magnesium phosphate nanoparticles (LPP) for intracellular catalase (CAT) delivery.
Magnesium phosphate nanoparticles (MgP NP) were prepared by micro-emulsion precipitation and mixed with catalase-loaded cationic liposomes (DOTAP/cholesterol) to yield LPP formulation of catalase (LPP-CAT). The size and ζ-potential of LPP-CAT were measured by dynamic light scattering. The pH-sensitivity of LPP-CAT was determined by monitoring their degradation of hydrogen peroxide (HO) and their morphologies under transmission electron microscopy (TEM) at pH 7.4 and 5.5. The ability of LPP-CAT to protect MCF-7 cells against hydrogen peroxide was measured by MTS assay. ROS levels in EA.hy926 cells were measured after treatment with LPP-CAT.
LPP-CAT were successfully prepared and carried an average diameter of <300 nm and ζ -potential of about +40 mV. At pH 5.5, LPP-CAT degraded HO almost 4-fold as fast as pH 7.4 and displayed drastic morphological changes of an osmotic explosion. LPP-CAT protected MCF-7 cells from lethal level of exogenous HO and significantly lowered the ROS levels in EA.hy926 cells. A lipid with a pH-sensitive conformational switch (flipid) further enhanced the protein delivery of LPP-CAT.
LPP represents a promising nano-system for intracellular protein delivery.
开发带正电荷的脂质包裹的磷酸镁纳米颗粒(LPP),用于细胞内过氧化氢酶(CAT)的递送。
通过微乳液沉淀法制备磷酸镁纳米颗粒(MgP NP),并将其与负载 CAT 的阳离子脂质体(DOTAP/胆固醇)混合,得到 CAT 的 LPP 制剂(LPP-CAT)。通过动态光散射测量 LPP-CAT 的粒径和 ζ 电位。通过监测其在 pH 7.4 和 5.5 下对过氧化氢(HO)的降解以及透射电子显微镜(TEM)下的形态变化来测定 LPP-CAT 的 pH 敏感性。通过 MTS 测定法测量 LPP-CAT 保护 MCF-7 细胞免受过氧化氢的能力。处理 EA.hy926 细胞后,测量细胞内活性氧(ROS)水平。
成功制备了 LPP-CAT,其平均粒径<300nm,ζ 电位约为+40mV。在 pH 5.5 下,LPP-CAT 降解 HO 的速度比 pH 7.4 时快近 4 倍,并且表现出渗透爆炸的剧烈形态变化。LPP-CAT 可保护 MCF-7 细胞免受外源性 HO 的致命影响,并显著降低 EA.hy926 细胞中的 ROS 水平。具有 pH 敏感构象开关(flipid)的脂质进一步增强了 LPP-CAT 的蛋白递送。
LPP 是一种有前途的细胞内蛋白递送纳米系统。
