Inhalation delivery of poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) microspheres (MS) loaded with the anti-tuberculosis agent rifampicin (RFP-PLGA MS) to alveolar macrophage (M phi) cells could be an effective drug delivery system for the treatment of tuberculosis. To examine this possibility, we studied (1) the bactericidal effect of RFP-PLGA MS on Mycobacterium bovis Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG)-infected rat alveolar M phi NR8383 cells, and (2) changes in the biochemical events induced in these cells by the uptake of RFP-PLGA MS. The amount of intracellular RFP imported into the M phi s by RFP-PLGA MS containing 0.25 and 2.50 mu g RFP/mL was more than twice and ten times, respectively, than that attained with 5.00 mu g/mL of REP solution: and the MS exerted more potent bactericidal effect on BCG inside M phi cells than 5.00 mu g RFP/mL solution after incubation for 7 days. RFP-PLGA MS little affected the viability of M phi cells, whereas the polystyrene latex (PSL) MS used as a reference decreased it significantly. RFP-PLGA MS did not stimulate the production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), nitric oxide, interleukin-10 (IL-10), and transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) by the M phi cells, whereas PSL MS stimulated all of these mediators except IL-10. We conclude that RFP-PLGA MS are bio-safe microspheres due to their "silent" nature when taken into M phi cells and that they are promising for the treatment of tuberculosis by pulmonary inhalation.
