Graphical Abstract

Lysophosphatidic acid receptor 1 (LPA1) antagonist-derived amino lipid nanoparticles (LA-LNPs) can deliver tumor necrosis factor α-induced protein 3 (A20) mRNAs to lung fibroblasts. These LA A20 mRNA-LNPs exhibit strong antifibrotic activities by blocking the LPA1 signaling pathway and restoring A20 enzymatic activities in fibroblasts, resulting in a lower rate of migration and collagen synthesis.

Abstract

Activated fibroblasts are major mediators of pulmonary fibrosis. Fibroblasts are generally found in the connective tissue but upon activation can generate excess extracellular matrix (ECM) in the lung interstitial section. Therefore, fibroblasts are one of the most targeted cells for treating idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Here, we develop an anti-fibrotic platform that can modulate both the lysophosphatidic acid receptor 1 (LPA1) and the inflammatory pathway through tumor necrosis factor α-induced protein 3 (TNFAIP3, also known as A20) in fibroblasts. First, we synthesized a series of LPA1 antagonists, AM095 and AM966, derived amino lipids (LA lipids) which were formulated into LA-lipid nanoparticles (LA-LNPs) encapsulating mRNA. Specifically, LA5-LNPs, with AM966 head group and biodegradable acetal lipid tails, showed efficient A20 mRNA delivery to lung fibroblasts in vitro (80.2% ± 1.5%) and ex vivo (17.2% ± 0.4%). When treated to primary mouse lung fibroblasts (MLF), this formulation inhibited fibroblast migration and collagen production, thereby slowing the progression of IPF. Overall, LA5-LNPs encapsulated with A20 mRNA is a novel platform offering a potential approach to regulate fibroblast activation for the treatment of IPF.
