Abstract:
:Development of an effective and potent RNA delivery system remains a challenge for the clinical application of RNA therapeutics. Herein, we describe the development of an RNA delivery platform derived from self-assembled bicontinuous cubic lyotropic liquid crystalline phases, functionalized with zinc coordinated lipids. These metallo-cubosomes were prepared from a series of novel lipidic zinc(II)-bis(dipicolylamine) (Zn2BDPA)) complexes admixed with glycerol monooleate (GMO). The zinc metallo-cubosomes showed the high affinity to siRNA through interaction between Zn2BDPA and the phosphate groups of RNA molecules. Using a combination of dynamic light scattering (DLS), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM), we demonstrated that a variety of Zn2BDPA lipid derivatives can be loaded into GMO cubosomes and the introduction of Zn2BDPA lipids effected an internal cubic phase transition of the resulting metallo-cubosomes. The findings of this study lay the foundations for the development of a new class of noncationic lipid-based encapsulation systems, metallo-cubosomes for RNA therapeutic delivery.
