RGD-tagged helical rosette nanotubes aggravate acute lipopolysaccharide-induced lung inflammation.


ABSTRACT: Rosette nanotubes (RNT) are a novel class of self-assembled biocompatible nanotubes that offer a built-in strategy for engineering structure and function through covalent tagging of synthetic self-assembling modules (G?C motif). In this report, the G?C motif was tagged with peptide Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser-Lys (RGDSK-G?C) and amino acid Lys (K-G?C) which, upon co-assembly, generate RNTs featuring RGDSK and K on their surface in predefined molar ratios. These hybrid RNTs, referred to as K(x)/RGDSK(y)-RNT, where x and y refer to the molar ratios of K-G?C and RGDSK-G?C, were designed to target neutrophil integrins. A mouse model was used to investigate the effects of intravenous K(x)/RGDSK(y)-RNT on acute lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced lung inflammation. Healthy male C57BL/6 mice were treated intranasally with Escherichia coli LPS 80 ?g and/or intravenously with K??/RGDSK¹?-RNT. Here we provide the first evidence that intravenous administration of K??/RGDSK¹?-RNT aggravates the proinflammatory effect of LPS in the mouse. LPS and K??/RGDSK¹?-RNT treatment groups showed significantly increased infiltration of polymorphonuclear cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid at all time points compared with the saline control. The combined effect of LPS and K??/RGDSK¹?-RNT was more pronounced than LPS alone, as shown by a significant increase in the expression of interleukin-1?, MCP-1, MIP-1, and KC-1 in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and myeloperoxidase activity in the lung tissues. We conclude that K??/RGDSK¹?-RNT promotes acute lung inflammation, and when used along with LPS, leads to exaggerated immune response in the lung.

Rosette nanotubes (RNT) are a novel class of self-assembled biocompatible nanotubes that offer a built-in strategy for engineering structure and function through covalent tagging of synthetic self-assembling modules (G∧C motif). In this report, the G∧C motif was tagged with peptide Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser-Lys (RGDSK-G∧C) and amino acid Lys (K-G∧C) which, upon co-assembly, generate RNTs featuring RGDSK and K on their surface in predefined molar ratios. These hybrid RNTs, referred to as K(x)/RGDSK(y)-RNT,  ...[more]
