PurposeThe aim of this research was to design dexamethasone palmitate (DP) loaded sialic acid modified liposomes, with the eventual goal of using peripheral blood neutrophils (PBNs) that carried drug-loaded liposomes to improve the therapeutic capacity for rheumatoid arthritis (RA).MethodsA sialic acid - cholesterol conjugate (SA-CH) was synthesized and anchored on the surface of liposomal dexamethasone palmitate (DP-SAL). The physicochemical characteristics and in vitro cytotoxicity of liposomes were evaluated. Flow cytometry and confocal laser scanning microscopy were utilized to investigate the accumulation of liposomes in PBNs. The adjuvant-induced arthritis was adopted to investigate the targeting ability and anti-inflammatory effect of DP loaded liposomes.ResultsBoth DP-CL and DP-SAL existed an average size less than 200nm with remarkably high encapsulation efficiencies more than 90%. In vitro and in vivo experiments manifested SA-modified liposomes provided a reinforced accumulation of DP in PBNs. As well, DP-SAL displayed a greater degree of accumulation in the joints and a stronger anti-inflammatory effect in terms of RA suppression.ConclusionsSA-modified liposomal DP was a promising candidate for RA-targeting treatment through the neutrophil-mediated drug delivery system.
