摘要
Ischemic strokes are caused by decreased blood flow into the brain, due to narrowed cerebral arteries. In the ischemic brain, high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is released into extracellular spaces and induces inflammatory reactions. In this study, HMGB1 small interfering RNA (siRNA) was delivered into ischemic brains by intravenous administration using rabies virus glycoprotein (RVG) peptide-decorated exosomes. A fusion protein of RVG and Lamp2b was expressed in 293T cells. Since Lamp2b is an exosome membrane-integral protein, RVG-Lamp2b is integrated into the exosomes, producing RVG-decorated exosomes (RVG-Exo). HMGB1-siRNA was loaded into RVG-Exo and unmodified exosomes (Unmod-Exo) by electroporation. The exosomes were homogenous with a size of less than 50 nm and a negative surface charge. In vitro delivery assays showed that RVG-Exo showed higher efficiency to Neuro2A cells than Unmod-Exo. Also, HMGB1 levels were reduced more effectively by RVG-Exo/HMGB1-siRNA. In vivo delivery efficiency and therapeutic effects of RVG-Exo/HMGB1-siRNA were evaluated in a middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model. RVG-Exo/HMGB1-siRNA, Unmod-Exo/HMGB1-siRNA, and PEI25k/HMGB1-siRNA were administrated into the MCAO model intravenously through the tail vein. The results showed that HMGB1, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and apoptosis levels in the brain were reduced in the RVG-Exo/HMGB1-siRNA group more efficiently than the other groups. In addition, the infarct size was decreased in the RVG-Exo/HMGB1 group more effectively than the other groups. These results suggest that RVG-Exo with HMGB1-siRNA may have potential as a therapeutic system for the treatment of ischemic strokes.
