To prepare a binary formulation delivering miRNA-146 and evaluate a nucleic acid nasal delivery system by investigating its pharmacodynamic effects in allergic rhinitis. The gel/NPs/miR-146a thermosensitive in situ chitosan hydrogel carrying a nucleic acid was prepared and evaluated for its characteristics, including temperature sensitivity, gel strength, mucosal adhesion and drug release profile. After nasal administration of the formulation to ovalbumin-sensitized rats, the treatment of allergic rhinitis was verified by assessing nasal symptoms, hematology, hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and immunohistochemistry. Western Blot(WB) was used to analyze nasal inflammatory factors as well as miRNA-146-related factors, and the miR146 expression level was measured by PCR. Subsequently, the effects of the gel/NPs/miR-146a binary formulation were evaluated for the nasal delivery of nucleic acids in rhinitis therapy. The prepared binary formulation quickly formed a gel in the nasal cavity at a temperature of 34 degrees C with good mucosal adhesion, which delivered nucleic acids into the nasal mucosa stably and continuously. Gel/NPs/miR-146a was able to sustain the delivery of miRNA into the mucosa after nasal administration. When compared with the monolithic formulations, the gel/NPs/miR-146a binary formulation performed better regarding its nucleic acid delivery ability and pharmacodynamic effects. The gel/NPs/miR-146a binary preparation has a suitable nasal mucosal drug delivery ability and has a positive pharmacodynamic effect for the treatment of ovalbumin-induced rhinitis in rats. It can serve as a potential nucleic acid delivery platform for the treatment of allergic rhinitis.
