Investigating the movement of intravitreal human serum albumin nanoparticles in the vitreous and retina

Abstract

Purpose To investigate the movement of intravitreally injected human serum albumin nanoparticles (HSA-NP) with respect to nanoparticle surface charge and retinal injury.Methods HSA-NPs were developed by a desolvation technique. HSA-NPs were cationized by covalent coupling of hexamethylenediamine on the particle surface. Either anionic or cationic HSA-NPs were injected to determine the effect of surface charge on intravitreal nanoparticle movement. HSA-NPs were injected intravitreally into both normal and laser photocoagulated eyes to examine the effect of the integrity of retinal tissue on the retinal penetration. The retinal penetration of fluorescence labeled anionic HSA-NPs was investigated by confocal microscopy.Results Anionic particles (-33.3+/-6.1 mV) more easily diffused through the 3-dimensional vitreal network of collagen fibrils than did their cationic counterparts (11.7+/-7.2 mV). In the laser photocoagulated retina, more HSA-NPs were detected in the choroidal space, compared to the normal retina. The immunohistochemical studies indicated that HSA-NPs were taken up into Müller cells.Conclusions The movement of intravitreal nanoparticles depended on both nanoparticles surface charge and retinal injury. The Müller cells might play an important role in the retinal penetration of nanoparticles. The anionic HSA-NP is a promising drug or gene delivery carrier to the sub-retinal space and RPE.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Strategies such as PEGylation, charge modification, and coating with hyaluronate or chloroquine have been shown to improve retinal transduction in animal models when administered intravitreally.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
