Amine headgroups in ionizable lipids drive immune responses to lipid nanoparticles by binding to the receptors TLR4 and CD1d
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are the most clinically advanced delivery vehicle for RNA therapeutics, partly because of established lipid structure–activity relationships focused on formulation potency. Yet such knowledge has not extended to LNP immunogenicity. Here we show that the innate and adaptive immune responses elicited by LNPs are linked to their ionizable lipid chemistry. Specifically, we show that the amine headgroups in ionizable lipids drive LNP immunogenicity by binding to Toll-like receptor 4 and CD1d and by promoting lipid-raft formation. Immunogenic LNPs favour a type-1 T-helper-cell-biased immune response marked by increases in the immunoglobulins IgG2c and IgG1 and in the pro-inflammatory cytokines tumour necrosis factor, interferon γ and the interleukins IL-6 and IL-2. Notably, the inflammatory signals originating from these receptors inhibit the production of anti-poly(ethylene glycol) IgM antibodies, preventing the often-observed loss of efficacy in the LNP-mediated delivery of siRNA and mRNA. Moreover, we identified computational methods for the prediction of the structure-dependent innate and adaptive responses of LNPs. Our findings may help accelerate the discovery of well-tolerated ionizable lipids suitable for repeated dosing.
期刊介绍:
Nature Biomedical Engineering is an online-only monthly journal that was launched in January 2017. It aims to publish original research, reviews, and commentary focusing on applied biomedicine and health technology. The journal targets a diverse audience, including life scientists who are involved in developing experimental or computational systems and methods to enhance our understanding of human physiology. It also covers biomedical researchers and engineers who are engaged in designing or optimizing therapies, assays, devices, or procedures for diagnosing or treating diseases. Additionally, clinicians, who make use of research outputs to evaluate patient health or administer therapy in various clinical settings and healthcare contexts, are also part of the target audience.
