ABSTRACT
Choroidal Neovascularization (CNV) is capable of inciting recurrent hemorrhage in the macular region, severely impairing patients' visual acuity. During the onset of CNV, infiltrating M2 macrophages play a crucial role in promoting angiogenesis. To control this disease, our study utilizes the RNA interference (RNAi)-based gene therapy to reprogram M2 macrophages to the M1 phenotype in CNV lesions. We synthesize the mannose-modified siRNA-loaded liposome specifically targeting M2 macrophages to inhibit the inhibitory kappa B kinase ß (IKKß) gene involved in the polarization of macrophages, consequently modulating macrophage polarization state. In vitro and in vivo, the mannose-modified IKKß siRNA-loaded liposome (siIKKß-ML) has been proven to effectively target M2 macrophages to repolarize them to M1 phenotype, and inhibit the progression of CNV. Collectively, our findings elucidate that siIKKß-ML holds the potential to control CNV by reprogramming the macrophage phenotype, indicating a promising therapeutic avenue for CNV management.
