Cationic lipid nanoparticle production by microfluidization for siRNA delivery

Résumé

Microfluidization has been investigated as a new, scalable, and basic component saving method to produce cationic lipid nanoparticles, in particular for the delivery of short interfering RNAs (siRNAs). The design of experiment (DoE) allowed to reach optimized characteristics in terms of nanocarrier size reduction and low polydispersity. The structure of cationic liposomes and siRNA-lipoplexes was characterized. The optimized preparation parameters were identified as three microfluidization passages at a pressure of 10,000 psi, with a thin film hydration volume of 4 ml. Microfluidized liposomes mean size was 160 nm, with a polydispersity index of 0.2-0.3 and a zeta potential of +40 mV to +60 mV. Positive versus negative charge ratio between the charges of the cationic lipid and the phosphate charges of the siRNAs is a key factor determining the structure and silencing efficacy of siRNA lipoplexes. At a (+/-) charge ratio of 8, a proportion of 88% of the siRNA was associated to microfluidized lipoplexes, which remained stable for one month. These lipoplexes exhibited moderate cytotoxicity and gene silencing efficacy, which should be further optimized.
