Activation of tyrosine kinase receptor B (TrkB), a neurotrophin receptor, has been shown to increase neuronal cell survival and promote regeneration. Stimulation of the TrkB receptor by neurotrophic growth factors has been identified as a possible therapeutic target for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. However, growth factor delivery is problematic because of a short half-life in vivo. We have conjugated hNgf-EE, a short peptide mimetic of NGF beta to the surface of polymersome nanoparticles and shown that they are capable of activating the TrkB receptor in vitro in the SHSY-G7 cell line. We propose that polymersomes could act as a scaffold for the delivery of TrkB activating moieties and that the polymersome size and polyethylene glycol surface have been shown to increase in vivo retention time. These multifunctional nanoparticles have potential for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders by TrkB activation.
