Polymer-Lipid Nanoparticles for Systemic Delivery of mRNA to the Lungs.

ABSTRACT: Therapeutic nucleic acids hold great promise for the treatment of disease but require vectors for safe and effective delivery. Synthetic nanoparticle vectors composed of poly(?-amino esters) (PBAEs) and nucleic acids have previously demonstrated potential utility for local delivery applications. To expand this potential utility to include systemic delivery of mRNA, hybrid polymer-lipid nanoformulations for systemic delivery to the lungs were developed. Through coformulation of PBAEs with lipid-polyethylene glycol (PEG), mRNA formulations were developed with increased serum stability and increased in?vitro potency. The formulations were capable of functional delivery of mRNA to the lungs after intravenous administration in mice. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the systemic administration of mRNA for delivery to the lungs using degradable polymer-lipid nanoparticles.

Optimization of lipid nanoparticles for the delivery of nebulized therapeutic mRNA to the lungs.

Project description:Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for the efficient delivery of drugs need to be designed for the particular administration route and type of drug. Here we report the design of LNPs for the efficient delivery of therapeutic RNAs to the lung via nebulization. We optimized the composition, molar ratios and structure of LNPs made of lipids, neutral or cationic helper lipids and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) by evaluating the performance of LNPs belonging to six clusters occupying extremes in chemical space, and then pooling the lead clusters and expanding their diversity. We found that a low (high) molar ratio of PEG improves the performance of LNPs with neutral (cationic) helper lipids, an identified and optimal LNP for low-dose messenger RNA delivery. Nebulized delivery of an mRNA encoding a broadly neutralizing antibody targeting haemagglutinin via the optimized LNP protected mice from a lethal challenge of the H1N1 subtype of influenza A virus, and delivered mRNA more efficiently than LNPs previously optimized for systemic delivery. A cluster approach to LNP design may facilitate the optimization of LNPs for other administration routes and therapeutics.

Lipid nanoparticles for mRNA delivery.

Project description:Messenger RNA (mRNA) has emerged as a new category of therapeutic agent to prevent and treat various diseases. To function in vivo, mRNA requires safe, effective and stable delivery systems that protect the nucleic acid from degradation and that allow cellular uptake and mRNA release. Lipid nanoparticles have successfully entered the clinic for the delivery of mRNA; in particular, lipid nanoparticle-mRNA vaccines are now in clinical use against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which marks a milestone for mRNA therapeutics. In this Review, we discuss the design of lipid nanoparticles for mRNA delivery and examine physiological barriers and possible administration routes for lipid nanoparticle-mRNA systems. We then consider key points for the clinical translation of lipid nanoparticle-mRNA formulations, including good manufacturing practice, stability, storage and safety, and highlight preclinical and clinical studies of lipid nanoparticle-mRNA therapeutics for infectious diseases, cancer and genetic disorders. Finally, we give an outlook to future possibilities and remaining challenges for this promising technology.

Lipid Polymer Hybrid Nanomaterials for mRNA Delivery.

Project description:IntroductionIn the past decade, messenger RNA (mRNA) has been extensively explored in a wide variety of biomedical applications. However, efficient delivery of mRNA is still one of the key challenges for its broad applications in the clinic. Recently, lipid polymer hybrid nanoparticles (LPNs) are evolving as a promising class of biomaterials for RNA delivery, which integrate the physicochemical properties of both lipids and polymers. We previously developed an N1,N3,N5-tris(2-aminoethyl)benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide (TT) derived lipid-like nanomaterial (TT3-LLN) which was capable of effectively delivering multiple types of mRNA. In order to further improve the delivery efficiency of TT3-LLN, in this study, we focused on studying the effects of incorporating different polymers on establishing LPNs and aimed to develop an optimized lipid polymer hybrid nanomaterial for efficient mRNA delivery.MethodsWe incorporated a series of biodegradable and biocompatible polymer materials into the formulation of TT3-LLNs to develop LPNs. mRNA delivery efficiency of different LPNs were evaluated and a systematic orthogonal optimization was further carried out.ResultsOur data indicate that PLGA4 (MW 24,000-38,000 g/mol) dramatically increased delivery efficiency of TT3-LLNs in comparison to other polymers. Further optimization identified PLGA4-7 LPNs (PLGA:mRNA=9:1, mass ratio; TT3:DOPE:Cholesterol:DMG-PEG2000=25:25:45:0.75, molar ratio) as a lead formulation, which displayed significantly enhanced delivery of two types of mRNA in three different human cell lines as compared with TT3-LLNs.ConclusionsResults from this study potentially provide new insights into developing LPNs for mRNA based therapeutics.

In vitro and in vivo mRNA delivery using lipid-enveloped pH-responsive polymer nanoparticles.

Project description:Biodegradable core--shell structured nanoparticles with a poly(?-amino ester) (PBAE) core enveloped by a phospholipid bilayer shell were developed for in vivo mRNA delivery with a view toward delivery of mRNA-based vaccines. The pH-responsive PBAE component was chosen to promote endosome disruption, while the lipid surface layer was selected to minimize toxicity of the polycation core. Messenger RNA was efficiently adsorbed via electrostatic interactions onto the surface of these net positively charged nanoparticles. In vitro, mRNA-loaded particle uptake by dendritic cells led to mRNA delivery into the cytosol with low cytotoxicity, followed by translation of the encoded protein in these difficult-to-transfect cells at a frequency of ~30%. Particles loaded with mRNA administered intranasally (i.n.) in mice led to the expression of the reporter protein luciferase in vivo as soon as 6 h after administration, a time point when naked mRNA given i.n. showed no expression. At later time points, luciferase expression was detected in naked mRNA-treated mice, but this group showed a wide variation in levels of transfection, compared to particle-treated mice. This system may thus be promising for noninvasive delivery of mRNA-based vaccines.

Ionizable lipid nanoparticles for in utero mRNA delivery.

Project description:Clinical advances enable the prenatal diagnosis of genetic diseases that are candidates for gene and enzyme therapies such as messenger RNA (mRNA)-mediated protein replacement. Prenatal mRNA therapies can treat disease before the onset of irreversible pathology with high therapeutic efficacy and safety due to the small fetal size, immature immune system, and abundance of progenitor cells. However, the development of nonviral platforms for prenatal delivery is nascent. We developed a library of ionizable lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for in utero mRNA delivery to mouse fetuses. We screened LNPs for luciferase mRNA delivery and identified formulations that accumulate within fetal livers, lungs, and intestines with higher efficiency and safety compared to benchmark delivery systems, DLin-MC3-DMA and jetPEI. We demonstrate that LNPs can deliver mRNAs to induce hepatic production of therapeutic secreted proteins. These LNPs may provide a platform for in utero mRNA delivery for protein replacement and gene editing.

Delivery of mRNA to platelets using lipid nanoparticles.

Project description:Platelets are natural delivery vehicles within the blood, carrying and releasing their contents at sites of vasculature damage. Investigating the biology of platelets, and modifying them for new therapeutic uses, is limited by a lack of methods for efficiently transfecting these cells. The ability of four different classes of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to deliver mRNA to platelets was compared using confocal microscopy, flow cytometry and quantitative PCR. The amount of mRNA delivered, mechanism of uptake, and extent of platelet activation depended on the LNP formulation and platelet storage conditions. Cationic LNPs (cLNPs) delivered mRNA to the largest percentage of platelets but induced platelet activation. Ionizable cationic LNPs (icLNPs) delivered mRNA to fewer platelets and did not induce activation. Furthermore, mRNA delivered using icLNPs and cLNPs was stable in resting platelets and was released in platelet microparticles under specific conditions. The results demonstrate that mRNA can be delivered to platelets using cLNPs and icLNPs without impairing platelet aggregation or spreading. Optimizing the LNP formulations used here may lead to a transfection agent for platelets that allows for de novo synthesis of exogenous proteins in the future.

Recent Advances in Lipid Nanoparticles for Delivery of mRNA.

Project description:Messenger RNA (mRNA), which is composed of ribonucleotides that carry genetic information and direct protein synthesis, is transcribed from a strand of DNA as a template. On this basis, mRNA technology can take advantage of the body's own translation system to express proteins with multiple functions for the treatment of various diseases. Due to the advancement of mRNA synthesis and purification, modification and sequence optimization technologies, and the emerging lipid nanomaterials and other delivery systems, mRNA therapeutic regimens are becoming clinically feasible and exhibit significant reliability in mRNA stability, translation efficiency, and controlled immunogenicity. Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), currently the leading non-viral delivery vehicles, have made many exciting advances in clinical translation as part of the COVID-19 vaccines and therefore have the potential to accelerate the clinical translation of gene drugs. Additionally, due to their small size, biocompatibility, and biodegradability, LNPs can effectively deliver nucleic acids into cells, which is particularly important for the current mRNA regimens. Therefore, the cutting-edge LNP@mRNA regimens hold great promise for cancer vaccines, infectious disease prevention, protein replacement therapy, gene editing, and rare disease treatment. To shed more lights on LNP@mRNA, this paper mainly discusses the rational of choosing LNPs as the non-viral vectors to deliver mRNA, the general rules for mRNA optimization and LNP preparation, and the various parameters affecting the delivery efficiency of LNP@mRNA, and finally summarizes the current research status as well as the current challenges. The latest research progress of LNPs in the treatment of other diseases such as oncological, cardiovascular, and infectious diseases is also given. Finally, the future applications and perspectives for LNP@mRNA are generally introduced.

Theranostic dendrimer-based lipid nanoparticles containing PEGylated BODIPY dyes for tumor imaging and systemic mRNA delivery in vivo.

Project description:mRNA-based therapeutics have emerged as a promising approach to treat cancer. However, creation of theranostic strategies to both deliver mRNA and simultaneously detect cancer is an important unmet goal. Here, we report the development of theranostic dendrimer-based lipid nanoparticle (DLNP) system containing PEGylated BODIPY dyes (PBD) for mRNA delivery and near-infrared (NIR) imaging in vitro and in vivo. DLNPs formulated with a pH-responsive PBD-lipid produced 5- to 35-fold more functional protein than control DLNPs formulated with traditional PEG-lipid in vitro and enabled higher mRNA delivery potency in vivo at a low dose of 0.1 mg kg-1 when formulated with a PBD-lipid containing a BODIPY core, indole linker, and PEG length between 1000 and 5000 g/mol. Moreover, we found the intensity of mRNA expression in the liver correlated with the pKa of DLNPs, indicating that DLNPs with a pKa close to 6.3 could generally produce more protein in livers. Notably, 4A3-SC8&PEG2k5d formulated DLNPs successfully mediated mRNA expression in tumors and simultaneously illuminated tumors via pH-responsive NIR imaging. The described theranostic lipid nanoparticles that combine mRNA delivery and NIR imaging hold promise as an applicable future approach to simultaneously detect and treat cancer.

Hybrid lipid-polymer nanoparticles for sustained siRNA delivery and gene silencing.

Project description:The development of controlled-release nanoparticle (NP) technologies has great potential to further improve the therapeutic efficacy of RNA interference (RNAi), by prolonging the release of small interfering RNA (siRNA) for sustained, long-term gene silencing. Herein, we present an NP platform with sustained siRNA-release properties, which can be self-assembled using biodegradable and biocompatible polymers and lipids. The hybrid lipid-polymer NPs showed excellent silencing efficacy, and the temporal release of siRNA from the NPs continued for over one month. When tested on luciferase-expressed HeLa cells and A549 lung carcinoma cells after short-term transfection, the siRNA NPs showed greater sustained silencing activity than lipofectamine 2000-siRNA complexes. More importantly, the NP-mediated sustained silencing of prohibitin 1 (PHB1) generates more effective tumor cell growth inhibition in vitro and in vivo than the lipofectamine complexes. We expect that this sustained-release siRNA NP platform could be of interest in both fundamental biological studies and clinical applications.Emerging gene silencing applications could be greatly enhanced by prolonging the release of siRNA for sustained gene silencing. This team of scientists presents a hybrid lipid-polymer nanoparticle platform that successfully accomplishes this goal, paving the way to future research studies and potential clinical applications.

Long-term storage of lipid-like nanoparticles for mRNA delivery.

Project description:Lipid-like nanoparticles (LLNs) have been extensively explored for messenger RNA (mRNA) delivery in various biomedical applications. However, the long-term storage of these nanoparticles is still a challenge for their clinical translation. In this study, we investigated a series of conditions for the long-term storage of LLNs with encapsulation of mRNA. We evaluated the stability of LLNs with different concentrations of cryoprotectants (sucrose, trehalose or mannitol) under the conditions of freezing or lyophilization processes. Through in vitro and in vivo mRNA delivery studies, we identified the optimal storage condition, and found that the addition with 5% (w/v) sucrose or trehalose to LLNs could remain their mRNA delivery efficiency for at least three months in the liquid nitrogen storage condition.
