Selective delivery of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) activators to the injured vasculature at the time of vascular surgical intervention has the potential to attenuate oxidative stress and decrease vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) hyperproliferation and migration towards the inner vessel wall. To this end, we developed a nanoformulation of cinnamic aldehyde (CA), termed Antioxidant Response Activating nanoParticles (ARAPas), that can be readily loaded into macrophages ex vivo. The CA-ARAPas-macrophage system was used to study the effects of CA on VSMC in culture. CA was encapsulated into a pluronic micelle that was readily loaded into both murine and human macrophages. CA-ARAPas inhibits VSMC proliferation and migration, and activates Nrf2. Macrophage-mediated transfer of CA-ARAPas to VSMC is evident after 12 h, and Nrf2 activation is apparent after 24 h. This is the first report, to the best of our knowledge, of CA encapsulation in pluronic micelles for macrophage-mediated delivery studies. The results of this study highlight the feasibility of CA encapsulation and subsequent macrophage uptake for delivery of cargo into other pertinent cells, such as VSMC.

Ionizable lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have been widely used for in vivo delivery of RNA therapeutics into the liver. However, a main challenge remains to develop LNP formulations for selective delivery of RNA into certain types of liver cells, such as hepatocytes and liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs). Here, we report the engineered LNPs for the targeted delivery of RNA into hepatocytes and LSECs. The effects of particle size and polyethylene glycol–lipid content in the LNPs were evaluated for the hepatocyte-specific delivery of mRNA by ApoE-mediated cellular uptake through low-density lipoprotein receptors. Targeted delivery of RNA to LSECs was further investigated using active ligands. Incorporation of mannose allowed the selective delivery of RNA to LSECs, while minimizing the unwanted cellular uptake by hepatocytes. These results demonstrate that engineered LNPs have great potential for the cell type–specific delivery of RNA into the liver and other tissues.
