PG - 26-36 LID - S0142-9612(15)00030-7 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2015.01.013 [doi] AB - Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) plays a central role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Anti-TNF-alpha therapies have shown protective effects against colitis, but an efficient tool for target suppression of its secretion - ideally via oral administration - remains in urgent demand. In the colon tissue, TNF-alpha is mainly secreted by the colonic macrophages. Here, we report an orally-administrated microspheric vehicle that can target the colonic macrophages and suppress the local expression of TNF-alpha for IBD treatment. This vehicle is formed by cationic konjac glucomannan (cKGM), phytagel and an antisense oligonucleotide against TNF-alpha. It was given to dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) colitic mice via gastric perfusion. The unique swelling properties of cKGM enabled the spontaneous release of cKGM& antisense nucleotide (ASO) nano-complex from the phytagel scaffold into the colon lumen, where the ASO was transferred into colonic macrophages via receptor-mediated phagocytosis. The treatment significantly decreased the local level of TNF-alpha and alleviated the symptoms of colitis in the mice. In summary, our study demonstrates a convenient, orally-administrated drug delivery system that effectively targets colonic macrophages for suppression of TNF-alpha expression. It may represent a promising therapeutic approach in the treatment of IBD. CI - Copyright (c) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
