Abstract This work establishes that Kupffer cell release of platelet activating factor
(PAF), a lipidic molecule with pro-inflammatory and vasoactive signaling
properties, dictates dose-limiting siRNA nanocarrier-associated toxicities.
High-dose intravenous injection of siRNA-polymer nano-polyplexes (si-NPs)
elicited acute, shock-like symptoms in mice, associated with increased plasma
PAF and consequently reduced PAF acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) activity. These
symptoms were completely prevented by prophylactic PAF receptor inhibition or
Kupffer cell depletion. Assessment of varied si-NP chemistries confirmed that
toxicity level correlated to relative uptake of the carrier by liver Kupffer
cells and that this toxicity mechanism is dependent on carrier endosome
disruptive function. 4T1 tumor-bearing mice, which exhibit increased circulating
leukocytes, displayed greater sensitivity to these toxicities. PAF-mediated
toxicities were generalizable to commercial delivery reagent in vivo-jetPEI® and
an MC3 lipid formulation matched to an FDA-approved nanomedicine. These
collective results establish Kupffer cell release of PAF as a key mediator of
siRNA nanocarrier toxicity and identify PAFR inhibition as an effective strategy
to increase siRNA nanocarrier tolerated dose.
