Abstract

Messenger RNA is a highly promising biotherapeutic modality with great potential in preventive and therapeutic vaccination, and in the modulation of cellular function through transient expression of therapeutic proteins. However, for cellular delivery, mRNA requires packaging into delivery vehicles that mediate uptake and also shield the mRNA against degradation. Lipid-coated calcium phosphate (LCP) nanoparticles encapsulate the mRNA in a calcium phosphate core, which is coated by a bilayer of structural lipids, positively charged lipids and pegylated lipid to mediate cellular uptake and achieve colloidal stabilization. Here, we show that such nanoparticles using positively charged lipids achieve cellular uptake but only poor cytosolic mRNA delivery. However, mRNA release could be greatly enhanced through incorporation of ionizable lipids into the outer leaflet of the lipid bilayer. We optimized the composition and molar ratios of ionizable lipids, positive lipid, cholesterol, and polyethylene glycol (PEG) and evaluated the potency of the formulations for the cellular delivery of mRNA. Whereas in lipid nanoparticles, the ionizable lipid has a main role in the complexation of the mRNA, our study provides a new paradigm for the employment of ionizable cationic lipids in nanocarriers other than lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to boost the endosomal release of nucleic acids.

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Pharmaceutics is the third most cited journal in the "Pharmacy & Pharmacology" category out of 366 journals, being the true home for pharmaceutical scientists concerned with the physical, chemical and biological properties of devices and delivery systems for drugs, vaccines and biologicals, including their design, manufacture and evaluation. This includes evaluation of the properties of drugs, excipients such as surfactants and polymers and novel materials. The journal has special sections on pharmaceutical nanotechnology and personalized medicines, and publishes research papers, reviews, commentaries and letters to the editor as well as special issues.
