Anti-inflammation-based treatment of atherosclerosis using Gliclazide-loaded biomimetic nanoghosts.

ABSTRACT: In the study, a biomimetic platform for anti-inflammatory-based treatment of atherosclerotic plaque was developed. Gliclazide (GL) as an anti-inflammasome agent was encapsulated in PLGA nanoparticles (NP), which were coated by monocyte membrane using an extrusion procedure. The size and zeta potential of the nanoghost (NG) changed to 292 and - 10 nm from 189.5 to -34.1 in the core NP. In addition, the actual size of 62.5 nm with a coating layer of 5 nm was measured using TEM. The NG was also showed a sustained release profile with the drug loading content of about 4.7%. Beside to attenuated TNFα, decrease in gene expression levels of NLRP3, MyD88, NOS, IL-1β, IL-18 and caspases 1/3/8/9 in LPS-primed monocytes exposed to NG strongly indicated remarkable inflammation control.
