Glomerular mesangial cells are active participants in pathogenesis of lupus glomerulonephritis (GN). Thus, targeted delivery of therapeutics to mesangial cells would be an attractive approach to treatment. However, lack of unique mesangial cell surface markers has hampered this process. The objective of this study was to identify mesangial marker(s) and develop a system for targeted drug delivery to the glomerulus. Based on literature, alpha 8 (α8) integrin, expressed on surface of glomerular mesangial cells, was selected as a target molecule for delivery. Two mouse strains susceptible to lupus GN, NZM2328 and NZM2328×NOD F1 were studied. Glomerular expression of α8 integrin in normal and nephritic mice was confirmed by immunofluorescence and QPCR. Liposomes were formulated and conjugated with an anti-α8 integrin antibody. These immuno-liposomes (ILs) were loaded with DiI, a red fluorescent dye, to allow tracking in vivo and injected into the tail vein of female mice at different ages. Specificity of targeting was studied by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. α8 integrin is expressed in glomeruli of normal and nephritic mice. Anti-α8 integrin ILs injected into the tail vein, traffic to the glomerulus and glomerular mesangial cells in normal and nephritic mice. The DiI delivery by anti-α8 integrin ILs was tissue specific, predominantly to glomeruli with some non-specific uptake by CD11b cells. This is the first demonstration of specific delivery to mesangium following tail vein injection in mice. The anti-α8 integrin ILs offer a novel approach for targeted drug therapy in lupus and other glomerular diseases.
