Novel cationic liposomes provide highly efficient delivery of DNA and RNA into dendritic cell progenitors and their immature offsets

Zusammenfassung:Here we report on the application of cationic liposomes formed by new cationic lipids and the lipid-helper DOPE (dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine) for the transfection of plasmid DNA and mRNA into dendritic cells (DCs) progenitors and immature DCs of bone-marrow origin in vitro and the use of these DCs to induce the suppression of B16 melanoma metastases in vivo. The cationic lipids contain one (X2, S1, S2 and S3) or two (2X3) cholesterol residues or long-chain hydrocarbon substituent (2D3) linked with spermine. Data show that liposomes 2X3-DOPE, 2D3-DOPE, X2-DOPE and S2-DOPE display high transfection efficiency in respect to DNA (30–47% of DC progenitors and up to 57% of immature DC were transfected) and RNA (up to 57% of cells were transfected). The studied lipids exhibited an efficiency of DNA and RNA delivery in DCs several times higher in comparison with Lipofectamine 2000. Observed ex vivo the higher transfection efficiencies of DCs with mRNAs encoding of a set of tumor-associated antigens provided by cationic liposomes 2X3-DOPE and 2X2-DOPE corresponded to a 3–5 fold suppression of metastasis number in a model of murine B16 melanoma in vivo. The injection into mice of these pulsed DCs resulted in a slight pro-inflammatory response which was balanced by the positive effect of the antitumor cytokine production induced by the DCs. The obtained data show that the novel spermine-based polycationic lipids can be applied in the preparation of antitumor DC-based vaccine. [Display omitted]
