Hyaluronan Decorated Layer-by-layer Assembled Lipid Nanoparticles for Mir-181A Delivery in Glioblastoma Treatment.
Biomaterials(2023)
Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and lethal primary brain cancer. Current pharmacological interventions marginally increase the 12-month overall survival of patients with GBM. Among the novel therapeutic strategies being pursued, micro-RNAs, a class of non-coding RNAs, are receiving considerable attention for their regulation of several pathways implicated in tumorigenesis and survival. Notably, microRNA-181a-5p (miR-181a) has consistently been reported to be downregulated in GBM clinical samples, and its overexpression negatively affects tumor growth both in vitro and in vivo. To improve the delivery of miR-181a to GBM cells, we sought to develop a modified lipid-based nanocarrier capable of encapsulating and delivering miR-181a to GBM cells in vitro and in vivo. Optimized ionizable-lipid containing lipid nanoparticles (LNP) were constructed by covering the miR-181a-loaded LNP with alternating layers of miR-181a, poly-l-arginine and hyaluronic acid through the layer-by-layer technique. The resulting hyaluronan-decorated lipid nanoparticles (HA-LNP) targeted GBM cells more efficiently than non-modified LNP and mediated siRNA and miRNA transfection in vitro. Finally, delivery of miR-181a by HA-LNP induced significant cellular death of U87 GBM cells in vitro and delayed tumor growth in an in vivo subcutaneous tumor model.
