Apolipoprotein E Binding Drives Structural and Compositional Rearrangement of mRNA-Containing Lipid Nanoparticles

Federica Sebastiani et al.

Summary: This study investigated the structure and lipid distribution of LNPs in the presence of ApoE using small-angle neutron scattering. The binding of ApoE was found to cause a redistribution of lipids at the shell and core of LNPs, impacting their internal structure and mRNA release. The rearrangement of LNP components upon ApoE incubation may have implications for LNP endosomal escape.

Summary: This study presents an extension of the Membrane Builder tool to model and simulate lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) with various lipid types and PEG-lipids effectively. The capability of Membrane Builder to construct realistic LNP membranes with high concentrations of cholesterol, ionizable cationic lipids, and PEG-lipids is demonstrated, showing the flexibility of PEG-chains and the effects of PEG-lipids on lateral packing and membrane properties. The interactions between PEG oxygen and the head group of ionizable cationic lipids induce negative curvature, which could be useful for better characterizing different LNPs for rational LNP design.

Summary: This study investigates the passive membrane transport of several compounds, finding that they can penetrate and affect the permeation of water molecules in biological membranes. Oxane was found to have the most thermodynamically preferred position in the bilayer, reducing the free energy barrier for water molecules and increasing their quantity. Higher phenol concentrations were also found to lower the main barrier, and density-based free energy calculations were able to replicate simulation results within chemical accuracy limits.
