Abstract:
:Biomaterials interface with toll-like receptor (TLR) 9-mediated innate immunity in a wide range of medical applications, such as tissue implants and drug delivery systems. The stimulation of TLR9 can lead to two different signaling pathways, resulting in the generation of proinflammatory cytokines (i.e. IL-6) and/or type I interferons (IFNs, i.e. IFN-α). These two categories of cytokines differentially influence both innate and adaptive immunity. Although particle size is known to be a critical parameter of biomaterials, its role in TLR9-mediated cytokine profiles is not clear. Here, we examined how the size of biomaterials impacted cytokine profiles by using polystyrene particles of defined sizes as model carriers for TLR9 agonists (CpG oligonucleotides (CpG ODNs)). CpG ODNs bound to nano- to submicro- particles stimulated the production of both IL-6 and IFN-α, while those bound to micro particles resulted in IL-6 secretions only. The differential TLR9-mediated cytokine profiles were attributed to the pH of endosomes that particles trafficked to. The magnitude of IFN-α production was highly sensitive to the change in endosomal pH in comparison to that of IL-6. Our results define two critical design variables, size and the ability to modulate endosomal pH, for the engineering of biomaterials that potentially interface with TLR9-mediated innate immunity. The fine control of these two variables will allow us to fully exploit the beneficial facets of TLR9-mediated innate immunity while minimizing undesirable side effects.
