Vascular inflammation is the underlying component of most diseases. To target inflamed vasculature, nanoparticles are commonly engineered by conjugating antibody to the nanoparticle surface, but this bottom-up approach could affect nanoparticle targeting and therapeutic efficacy in complex, physiologically related systems. During vascular inflammation endothelium via the NF-kappa B pathway instantly upregulates intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) which binds integrin beta(2) on neutrophil membrane. Inspired by this interaction, we created a nanovesicle-based drug delivery system using nitrogen cavitation which rapidly disrupts activated neutrophils to make cell membrane nanovesicles. Studies using intravital microscopy of live mouse cremaster venules showed that these vesicles can selectively bind inflamed vasculature because they possess intact targeting molecules of integrin beta(2). Administering of nanovesicles loaded with TPCA-1 (a NF-kappa B inhibitor) markedly mitigated mouse acute lung inflammation. Our studies reveal a new top-down strategy for directly employing a diseased tissue to produce biofunctional nanovesicle-based drug delivery systems potentially applied to treat various diseases.
