pH-responsive Astragalus polysaccharide-loaded PLGA nanoparticles as an adjuvant system to improve immune responses
Modern medical science believes that astragalus polysaccharides (APS) have the efficacy of strengthening immune system, while their peculiarities greatly reduced clinical applications. Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) is a synthetic carrier material with outstanding biochemical properties. In this study, PLGA materials were used to prepare the novel pH-responsive targeting drug delivery carriers which were encapsulated APS inside. The OVA-loaded pH-responsive APS-encapsulated PLGA Nanoparticles (OVA-loaded pH-responsive APSPs) and the OVA-loaded APSPs were constructed by multiple emulsion solvent evaporation method. Characterization and immunoenhancing activities of PLGA nanoparticles (NPs) were evaluated in vitro and in vivo. The size of NPs ranged from 142.6 to 194.6 nm, and all NPs were negatively charged. Additionally, pH-responsive APSPs shown violent release behaviors in an acidic environment. pH-responsive APSPs had low cytotoxicity, and significantly enhanced expression of MHC-II, CD80, CD86, and phagocytosis ability of macrophages. Both OVA-loaded NPs could stimulate greater Th1-biased immune responses compared with APS alone, and they could significantly promote proliferation, differentiation, and maturity of splenic lymphocytes and dendritic cells in mice respectively. NPs induced significantly greater antigen-specific IgG antibody responses and expression of IL-4, IL-6, IFN-γ, and TNF-α. Moreover, OVA-loaded pH-responsive APSPs had an aptitude for both cellular and humoral immunity reinforcement during early immunization, while OVA-loaded APSPs had advantages on later stages of immune responses.
