Leukemia stem cells (LSCs) sustain the disease and contribute to relapse in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Therapies that ablate LSCs may increase the chance of eliminating this cancer in patients. To this end, we used a bioreducible lipidoid-encapsulated Cas9/single guide RNA (sgRNA) ribonucleoprotein [lipidoid nanoparticle (LNP)-Cas9 RNP] to target the critical gene interleukin-1 receptor accessory protein () in human LSCs. To enhance LSC targeting, we loaded LNP-Cas9 RNP and the chemokine CXCL12α onto mesenchymal stem cell membrane-coated nanofibril (MSCM-NF) scaffolds mimicking the bone marrow microenvironment. In vitro, CXCL12α release induced migration of LSCs to the scaffolds, and LNP-Cas9 RNP induced efficient gene editing. knockout reduced LSC colony-forming capacity and leukemic burden. Scaffold-based delivery increased the retention time of LNP-Cas9 in the bone marrow cavity. Overall, sustained local delivery of Cas9/IL1RAP sgRNA via CXCL12α-loaded LNP/MSCM-NF scaffolds provides an effective strategy for attenuating LSC growth to improve AML therapy.
白血病干细胞 (LSCs) 维持疾病并导致急性髓系白血病 (AML) 复发。清除 LSCs 的疗法可能会增加患者消除这种癌症的机会。为此,我们使用了一种生物还原脂质体包裹的 Cas9/单指导 RNA (sgRNA) 核糖核蛋白 [脂质体纳米颗粒 (LNP)-Cas9 RNP] 来靶向人类 LSCs 中的关键基因白细胞介素 1 受体辅助蛋白 ()。为了增强 LSC 靶向性,我们将 LNP-Cas9 RNP 和趋化因子 CXCL12α 加载到模仿骨髓微环境的间充质干细胞膜包覆的纳米纤维 (MSCM-NF) 支架上。在体外,CXCL12α 的释放诱导 LSCs 迁移到支架上,并且 LNP-Cas9 RNP 诱导了有效的基因编辑。 敲除减少了 LSC 集落形成能力和白血病负担。支架为基础的递送增加了 LNP-Cas9 在骨髓腔内的保留时间。总的来说,通过 CXCL12α 负载的 LNP/MSCM-NF 支架持续局部递送至 Cas9/IL1RAP sgRNA 提供了一种有效的策略,可减弱 LSC 的生长,从而改善 AML 治疗效果。
