Abstract
Systemic delivery of messenger RNA (mRNA) for tissue-specific targeting using lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) holds great therapeutic potential. Nevertheless, how the structural characteristics of ionizable lipids (lipidoids) impact their capability to target cells and organs remains unclear. Here we engineered a class of siloxane-based ionizable lipids with varying structures and formulated siloxane-incorporated LNPs (SiLNPs) to control in vivo mRNA delivery to the liver, lung and spleen in mice. The siloxane moieties enhance cellular internalization of mRNA-LNPs and improve their endosomal escape capacity, augmenting their mRNA delivery efficacy. Using organ-specific SiLNPs to deliver gene editing machinery, we achieve robust gene knockout in the liver of wild-type mice and in the lungs of both transgenic GFP and Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) tumour-bearing mice. Moreover, we showed effective recovery from viral infection-induced lung damage by delivering angiogenic factors with lung-targeted Si5-N14 LNPs. We envision that our SiLNPs will aid in the clinical translation of mRNA therapeutics for next-generation tissue-specific protein replacement therapies, regenerative medicine and gene editing.
