Preparation of ultrasound-targeted LOX-1-siRNA-loaded microbubbles and their effect on atherosclerotic plaque in rats
摘要
目的
2
构建载血凝素样氧化低密度脂蛋白受体1(lectin-like oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor-1,LOX-1)-siRNA靶向超声微泡,研究其对大鼠动脉粥样硬化斑块的生物学作用。
Toconstructlectin-like oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1)-siRNA loaded ultrasound microbubbles
and investigate their biological function to the atherosclerosis plaques in mice.
Methods
2
The LOX1-siRNA loaded ultrasound nanobubbles(NBs-siRNA) were constructed by membrane-hydration-ultrasonic emulsification. Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) were isolatedfrom the Wistar rats and then cultured
in vitro
. Gel shift assay and cell internalization assay were used to confirm that the NBs can deliver siRNA into the targeted VSMCs cells. The expression of LOX-1 was detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot assay. Oil red O staining was used to analyze the intracellular lipid aggregation. After the atherosclerosis model was constructed in Wistar rats
100 μg NBs-siRNA was injected into the mice via the tail v
ein
and the atherosclerosis site was exposure to the ultrasound wave. The severity of atherosclerosis was analyzed by HE staining
and the LOX-1 expression in the atherosclerosis was detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC).
Results
2
The connection of NBs and siRNA was proved by gel shift assay
and siRNA can be delivered into the VSMCs cells by NBs under irradiation of ultrasound as observed by laser confocal scanning microscopy. qRT-PCR and Western blot assay indicated that the expression of LOX-1 was downregulated at transcription and translation levels. Oil red O staining displayed that the intracellular lipid aggregation was alleviated in the experimental group. HE staining showed attenuated tunica intimal thickening
tunica media atrophy
and inflammatory cell infiltration in the plagues of the experimental group. IHC assay demonstrated that the expression of LOX-1 was downregulated in the plaques of the experimental group.
Conclusion
2
The ultrasound microbubbles are successfully constructed and can deliver LOX-1-siRNA into targeted cells under the irradiation of ultrasound
and downregulate the expression of LOX-1 both
in vitro
and
in vivo
. Thus
less foam cells are formed and the severity of atherosclerosis is alleviated.
