The efficacy of magnetic drug targeting was investigated in a rabbit model of atherosclerosis induced by balloon injury and high cholesterol diet.Results: In vitro, SPION-DEXA were well-tolerated by endothelial cells. SPION-DEXA were internalized by human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and induced CD163 expression comparable with the free drug. In vivo, magnetic targeting of SPIONs to abdominal aorta was confirmed by histology. Upon vascular injury followed by high-cholesterol diet, early administration of SPION-DEXA enhanced the inflammatory burden in the plaques. Increased macrophage content and larger intima–media thickness were observed in animals treated with SPION-DEXA compared with controls. In advanced atherosclerosis, no beneficial effect of local glucocorticoid therapy was detectable.Conclusion: Magnetic drug targeting represents an efficient platform to deliver drugs to diseased arteries in vivo. However, targeting of vascular injury in the lipid-rich environment using dexamethasone-conjugated SPIONs may cause accelerated inflammatory response.
