Abstract

Ionizable lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are the most clinically advanced nonviral platform for mRNA delivery. While they have been explored for applications including vaccines and gene editing, LNPs have not been investigated for placental insufficiency during pregnancy. Placental insufficiency is caused by inadequate blood flow in the placenta, which results in increased maternal blood pressure and restricted fetal growth. Therefore, improving vasodilation in the placenta can benefit both maternal and fetal health. Here, we engineered ionizable LNPs for mRNA delivery to the placenta with applications in mediating placental vasodilation. We designed a library of ionizable lipids to formulate LNPs for mRNA delivery to placental cells and identified a lead LNP that enables in vivo mRNA delivery to trophoblasts, endothelial cells, and immune cells in the placenta. Delivery of this top LNP formulation encapsulated with VEGF-A mRNA engendered placental vasodilation, demonstrating the potential of mRNA LNPs for protein replacement therapy during pregnancy to treat placental disorders.

  • LNP 4 with ionizable lipid C12-494 was previously shown to transfect endothelial cells in the placenta after intravenous injection and induce vasodilation in the placenta after VEGF mRNA delivery.

    “LNP 4, with ionizable lipid C12–494, was previously shown to transfect endothelial cells in the placenta after intravenous injection, as well as induce vasodilation in the placenta after VEGF mRNA delivery.40”

    From Predictive High-Throughput Platform for Dual Screening of mRNA Lipid Nanoparticle Blood–Brain Barrier Transfection and Crossing (2024) · cites this paper as [40]

    The Results sections on placental-cell delivery and VEGF-mediated vasodilation report that LNP A4 delivered mRNA to placental endothelial cells in pregnant mice and increased fetal blood-vessel area after VEGF mRNA treatment. The paper describes intravenous tail-vein injection, but it identifies the formulation as LNP A4, not “LNP 4,” and does not identify its ionizable lipid as C12–494. Those formulation details are unsupported by our copy. (LLM, conf=0.88)

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.
