Abstract
The progression of renal fibrosis to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is significantly influenced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) signal pathway. This study aimed to develop nanoparticles (PMVs@PLGA complexes) with platelet membrane camouflage, which can transport interfering RNA to target and regulate the TGF-β1 pathway in damaged renal tissues. The aim is to reduce the severity of acute kidney injury and to reduce fibrosis in chronic kidney disease. Hence, we formulated PMVs@TGF-β1-siRNA NP complexes and employed them for both in vitro and in vivo therapy. From the experimental findings we know that the PMVs@siRNA NPs could effectively target the kidneys in unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) mice and ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/R) mice. In animal models of treatment, PMVs@siRNA NP complexes effectively decreased the expression of TGF-β1 and mitigated inflammation and fibrosis in the kidneys by blocking the TGF-β1/Smad3 pathway. Therefore, these PMVs@siRNA NP complexes can serve as a promising biological delivery system for treating kidney diseases.
