Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Lipid nanoparticles (LNP) can provide a clinically effective method for delivering small interfering RNA (siRNA) to silence pathological genes in hepatocytes. The gene silencing potency; these LNP-siRNA systems has been shown to depend on a variety; factors including association with serum factors such as ApoE and the pK(a); component ionizable lipids. Here we investigate the influence; LNP size, an important parameter affecting tissue penetration; LNP systems, on the pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, and hepatic gene silencing potency; LNP-siRNA systems following intravenous administration. For LNP systems stabilized by a polyethylene glycol (PEG)-lipid that can dissociate from the LNP following injection, it is shown that small (diameter <= 30 nm) systems are considerably less potent than their larger counterparts. This is attributed in part to the ability; other lipid components, particularly the ionizable amino-lipid, to dissociate from the LNP following dissociation; the PEG-lipid. Small LNP stabilized by PEG-lipids with slow dissociation rates exhibited much reduced aminolipid dissociation rates, however such systems are relatively impotent due to the continued presence; the PEG coating. These results demonstrate the delicate balance between the in vivo potency; LNP-siRNA systems and the residence times; component lipids in the LNP particle itself and suggest new directions to optimize the in vivo gene silencing potency; small LNP-siRNA systems.
