Intratracheal (i.t.) administration, which takes advantage of the specific structure of the respiratory system, can effectively deliver nanoparticles to the lung. Much remains unknown about the i.t. administration of messenger RNA (mRNA)-lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) and the effect of lipid composition. In this study, we administered minute amounts of mRNA-LNP solutions into mice intratracheally and investigated the effect of lipid composition on protein expression in the lungs. We first validated higher protein expression with mRNA-LNP compared to that with mRNA-PEI complex and naked mRNA. Then, we evaluated the influence of lipid composition of LNPs on the protein expression and found that: 1) decreasing the PEG molarity from 1.5% to 0.5% could significantly increase the protein expression; 2) replacing DMG-PEG with DSG-PEG could slightly increase the protein expression; 3) using DOPE instead of DSPC could increase protein expression by an order of magnitude. We successfully prepared an mRNA-LNP with optimal lipid compositions that led to robust protein expression following i.t. administration, thus providing meaningful insights into advanced development of mRNA-LNPs for therapeutic i.t. administration.
