Effects of Serum Incubation on Lipid Nanoparticle PEG Shedding, mRNA Retention, and Membrane Interactions
Introduction Click to copy section linkSection link copied! Translating mRNA-based therapies into clinical practice, particularly in protein replacement applications, requires the development of vehicles that ensure efficient and safe transport of these highly charged, high-molecular-weight therapeutics into target cells.
Time-Resolved Inspection of Ionizable Lipid-Facilitated Lipid Nanoparticle Disintegration and Cargo Release at an Early Endosomal Membrane Mimic
Introduction Click to copy section linkSection link copied! In mRNA therapeutics, endogenous cellular machineries are utilized to produce therapeutic proteins, thereby providing a promising means to treat a multitude of diseases where conventional medication strategies fail. (1,2) To overcome the inherent instability of mRNA and its low capacity to be naturally taken up by cells, a large number of viral and synthetic therapeutic vectors have been developed.
Time Resolved Inspection of Ionizable-Lipid Facilitated Lipid Nanoparticle Disintegration and Cargo Release at an Endosomal Membrane Mimic
Abstract This study investigates pH-triggered fusion dynamics of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) with an endosomal membrane mimic, addressing mechanistic aspects of a crucial yet elusive process for effective mRNA delivery. Utilizing time-resolved total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) imaging, we observed a delayed onset of LNP fusion upon pH drop, lasting seconds to minutes depending on pH and LNP size.
