Celery seed derived reconstituted lipid nanoparticles as an innate neuron-targeted neuroprotective nanomedicine for ischemic stroke treatment
摘要
Ischemic stroke (IS) is the leading cause of worldwide death while the discovery and effective delivery of neuroprotective agents for satisfied IS treatment is still challenging.
ResultsIn this study, we discover that celery seed (CS) derived reconstituted lipid nanoparticles (CS-rLNPs) can effectively penetrate across blood-brain barrier (BBB) with increased distribution to the brain. Especially, CS-rLNPs show innate neuron-targeting ability to primarily bind to neuron in the cerebral ischemic area, which is not reported by any parallel studies. Moreover, CS-rLNPs are found to exert therapeutic effects on IS, which effectively restore the function of model mice. Further studies reveal that the therapeutic effects are realized through TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB p65 pathway regulated anti-inflammation and anti-apoptosis mechanisms.
ConclusionsTherefore, CS-rLNPs can serve as a neuron-targeted neuroprotective nanomedicine for IS treatment.
