Delivery Order of Nanoconstructs Affects Intracellular Trafficking by Endosomes.

ABSTRACT: This paper reports how the endosomal pathways of nanoparticle (NP) constructs with different surface curvatures are affected by their order of delivery. Sequential incubation of cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG)-conjugated spiky and spherical gold NPs with macrophages resulted in different nanoconstruct ratios at the interior edges of endosomes. Application of spiky NPs after spherical NPs accelerated the formation of late-stage endosomes and resulted in larger endosomes, and the spherical NPs were enclosed by the spiky NPs. In contrast, the reverse incubation order produced an asymmetric distribution of the two nanoconstruct shapes in smaller endosomes. Macrophages with a higher proportion of the enclosed spherical NPs as well as a larger ratio of spiky to spherical NPs at the endosomal edge showed enhanced toll-like receptor 9 activation and secretion of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Our results indicate that the subcellular trafficking of targeting nanoconstructs by vesicles is affected by both the delivery order and the endosomal distribution. Our study also establishes a new approach for nanoscale monitoring of intracellular therapeutics delivery with conventional electron microscopy.

Project description:BackgroundHuntington's disease (HD) is caused by the expression of a mutated variant of Huntingtin (mHtt), which results in the complex pathology characterized by a defective function of the nervous system and altered inflammatory responses. While the neuronal effects of mHtt expression have been extensively studied, its effects on the physiology of immune cells have not been fully described. Mast cells (MCs) are unique tissue-resident immune cells whose activation has been linked to protective responses against parasites and bacteria, but also to deleterious inflammatory allergic reactions and, recently, to neurodegenerative diseases.MethodsBone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs) were obtained from wild-type (WT-) and mHtt-expressing (R6/1) mice to evaluate the main activation parameters triggered by the high-affinity IgE receptor (FcεRI) and the Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4. Degranulation was assessed by measuring the secretion of β-hexosaminidase, MAP kinase activation was detected by Western blot, and cytokine production was determined by RT-PCR and ELISA. TLR-4 receptor and Htt vesicular trafficking was analyzed by confocal microscopy. In vivo, MC-deficient mice (c-KitWsh/Wsh) were intraperitonally reconstituted with WT or R6/1 BMMCs and the TLR4-induced production of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) was determined by ELISA. A survival curve of mice treated with a sub-lethal dose of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was constructed.ResultsR6/1 BMMCs showed normal β-hexosaminidase release levels in response to FcεRI, but lower cytokine production upon LPS stimulus. Impaired TLR4-induced TNF production was associated to the lack of intracellular dynamin-dependent TLR-4 receptor trafficking to perinuclear regions in BMMCs, a diminished ERK1/2 and ELK-1 phosphorylation, and a decrease in c-fos and TNF mRNA accumulation. R6/1 BMMCs also failed to produce TLR4-induced anti-inflammatory cytokines (like IL-10 and TGF-β). The detected defects were also observed in vivo, in a MCs-dependent model of endotoxemia. R6/1 and c-KitWsh/Wsh mice reconstituted with R6/1 BMMCs showed a decreased TLR4-induced TNF production and lower survival rates to LPS challenge than WT mice.ConclusionsOur data show that mHtt expression causes an impaired production of pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators triggered by TLR-4 receptor in MCs in vitro and in vivo, which could contribute to the aberrant immunophenotype observed in HD.
