PG - 102357 LID - S1549-9634(20)30211-2 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.nano.2020.102357 [doi] AB - Obesity induced chronic low-level inflammation is strongly associated with the development of insulin resistance and progression of type-2 diabetes. Systemic treatment with anti-inflammatory therapeutics requires high doses and is associated with serious adverse effects owing to generalized suppression of the immune system. Here we study localized knockdown of pro-inflammatory adipocytokines in adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) and adipocytes using RNA interference for the treatment of insulin resistance. Chitosan nanomicelles conjugated to ATM and adipocyte targeting ligands were used to transfect short hairpin RNA (shRNA) against tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1). Subcutaneous administration of nanomicellar/pDNA polyplexes in obese-diabetic mice resulted in decreased concentration of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNFalpha, MCP-1, IL-6, and IL-1beta along with increased concentration of insulin-sensitizing adipokine adiponectin. Downregulation of inflammatory cytokines resulted in improved insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance for up to six-weeks following single dose, compared to untreated obese-diabetic mice.
