Liposomal Nanocarriers Designed for Sub-Endothelial Matrix Targeting under Vascular Flow Conditions
Vascular interventions result in the disruption of the tunica intima and the exposure of sub-endothelial matrix proteins. Nanoparticles designed to bind to these exposed matrices could provide targeted drug delivery systems aimed at inhibiting dysfunctional vascular remodeling and improving interven...

Vascular interventions result in the disruption of the tunica intima and the exposure of sub-endothelial matrix proteins. Nanoparticles designed to bind to these exposed matrices could provide targeted drug delivery systems aimed at inhibiting dysfunctional vascular remodeling and improving intervention outcomes. Here, we present the progress in the development of targeted liposomal nanocarriers designed for preferential collagen IV binding under simulated static vascular flow conditions. PEGylated liposomes (PLPs), previously established as effective delivery systems in vascular cells types, served as non-targeting controls. Collagen-targeting liposomes (CT-PLPs) were formed by conjugating established collagen-binding peptides to modified lipid heads via click chemistry (CTL), and inserting them at varying mol% either at the time of PLP assembly or via micellar transfer. All groups included fluorescently labeled lipid species for imaging and quantification. Liposomes were exposed to collagen IV matrices statically or via hemodynamic flow, and binding was measured via fluorometric analyses. CT-PLPs formed with 5 mol% CTL at the time of assembly demonstrated the highest binding affinity to collagen IV under static conditions, while maintaining a nanoparticle characterization profile of ~50 nm size and a homogeneity polydispersity index (PDI) of ~0.2 favorable for clinical translation. When liposomes were exposed to collagen matrices within a pressurized flow system, empirically defined CT-PLPs demonstrated significant binding at shear stresses mimetic of physiological through pathological conditions in both the venous and arterial architectures. Furthermore, when human saphenous vein explants were perfused with liposomes within a closed bioreactor system, CT-PLPs demonstrated significant ex vivo binding to diseased vascular tissue. Ongoing studies aim to further develop CT-PLPs for controlled targeting in a rodent model of vascular injury.
