Endothelium forms an important target for drug and/or gene therapy since endothelial cells play critical roles in angiogenesis and vascular functions and are associated with various pathophysiological conditions. RNA-mediated gene silencing presents a new therapeutic approach to overcome many such diseases. But the major challenge of such an approach is to ensure minimal toxicity and effective transfection efficiency of shRNA to primary endothelial cells. In the present study, we formulated shAnnexin A2 loaded PLGA nanoparticles which produced intracellular siRNA against Annexin A2 and brought about the downregulation of Annexin A2. The percent encapsulation of the plasmid within the nanoparticle was found to be 57.65%. We compared our nanoparticle based transfections with lipofectamine mediated transfection and our studies show that nanoparticle based transfection efficiency is very high (~97%) and is more sustained as compared to conventional lipofectamine mediated transfections in primary retinal microvascular endothelial cells and human cancer cell lines. Our findings also show that the shAnnexin A2 loaded PLGA nanoparticles had minimal toxicity with almost 95% cells being viable 24 hours post transfection while lipofectamine based transfections resulted in only 30% viable cells. Therefore, PLGA nanoparticle based transfection may be used for efficient siRNA transfection to human primary endothelial and cancer cells. This may serve as a potential adjuvant treatment option for diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, retinopathy of prematurity and age related macular degeneration besides various cancers.
