ABSTRACT
Pro-inflammatory polarization of microglia and astrocytes results in neuroinflammation and blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption after a primary traumatic brain injury (TBI). Herein, we demonstrate that the dual-ligand functionalized lipid nanoparticles (AM31 LNPs) were actively and specifically internalized by microglia and astrocytes via mannose receptor (MR)- and adenosine receptor (AR)-mediated endocytosis, respectively, in a mouse model of TBI. Systemic administration of AM31 LNPs carrying siRNA against p65 resulted in internalization by the glial cells in the peri-infarct region and a robust knockdown of p65 at both mRNA and protein levels in these cells, leading to significant down-regulation of key pro-inflammatory cytokines and up-regulation of key anti-inflammatory cytokines. AM31 LNP-mediated silencing of p65 ameliorated TBI-induced BBB disruption. Our data proved that AM 31 LNP is a promising vehicle for RNA therapeutics for targeting microglia and astrocytes in neural disorder.
