We recently reported that the prolonged circulation property of PEGylated cationic liposomes containing nucleic acids disappears, if the second dose is injected within a few days later, due to the production of anti-PEG IgM. This accelerated blood clearance is a concern for treating diseases which require repeated treatment with a PEGylated formulation containing nucleic acids. In this study, we investigated the effect of encapsulation of siRNA in a recently introduced PEGylated lipid nanocarrier for which the term “wrapsome” (PEGylated wrapsome, PEG-WS) was proposed as well as the sequence of the encapsulated siRNA on anti-PEG IgM production. siRNA encapsulated in PEG-WS produced little anti-PEG IgM relative to siRNA in conventional PEGylated lipoplexes. The sequence of siRNA in the PEG-WL dramatically affected the anti-PEG IgM production; a potent immune stimulatory siRNA induced a higher anti-PEG IgM production. Such enhanced effect was abrogated by incorporation of 2′-O-methyl (2′-OMe) uridine into the sequence of siRNA, probably via inhibiting cytokine induction such as IL-6 and TNF-α. Our results strongly indicate that the use of an encapsulation-type lipid nanocarrier with a low immuno-stimulatory siRNA may allow repeated dosing of siRNA containing PEGylated formulations without the induction of a strong immune reaction against PEG and thus may advance synthetic siRNA into a broad range of therapeutic applications.
