The study proposes a novel drug delivery system combining two different anti-inflammatory approaches. The system consists of cationic dexamethasone palmitate nanoparticles and TNF-alpha siRNA. Results show that the system is effective in internalizing and localizing within macrophages, leading to enhanced TNF-alpha inhibition, offering a potential alternative strategy for treating inflammatory diseases.
We propose to combine two therapeutic anti-inflammatory approaches with different mechanisms of action in a single drug delivery system consisting of cationic dexamethasone palmitate nanoparticles (CDXP-NP) associated with TNF-alpha siRNA. The CDXP-NPs are obtained by the solvent emulsion evaporation technique using dexamethasone palmitate, a prodrug of dexamethasone, associated with a cationic lipid, DOTAP. Their physicochemical properties as well as their ability to bind siRNA were evaluated through gel electrophoresis and siRNA binding quantification. SiRNA cellular uptake was assessed by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy on RAW264.7 macrophages. TNF-alpha inhibition was determined on LPS-activated RAW264.7 macrophages. Stable and monodisperse nanoparticles around 100 nm with a positive zeta potential (+59 mV) were obtained with an encapsulation efficiency of the prodrug of 95%. A nitrogen/phosphate (N/P) ratio of 10 was selected that conferred the total binding of siRNA to the nanoparticles. Using these CDXP-siRNA-NPs, the siRNA was strongly internalized by RAW264.7 macrophage cells and localized within the cytoplasm. On the LPS-induced RAW264.7 macrophages, a larger inhibition of TNF-alpha was observed with CDXP-siRNA-NPs compared to CDXP-NPs alone. In conclusion, from these data, it is clear that a combination of DXP and TNF-alpha siRNA therapy could be a novel strategy and optimized alternative approach to cure inflammatory diseases.
