Title |
A versatile drug delivery system targeting senescent cells |
Organism |
Mus musculus |
Experiment type |
Expression profiling by high throughput sequencing
|
Summary |
Senescent cells accumulate in many ageing-associated diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis, and targeting these cells has recently emerged as a promising therapeutic approach. Here, we take advantage of the high β-galactosidase activity of senescent cells to design a targeted drug delivery system based on the encapsulation of drugs with galacto-oligosaccharides (GalNP beads). In this experiment we show that gal-encapsulated rhodamine target senescent cells in the context of pulmonary fibrosis in mice.

Overall design |
8- to 10-week-old C57BL/6 wild-type mice were intratracheally inoculated with bleomycin at 1.5 U/kg of body weight. Two weeks later mice were i.v. injected with 200 µl of a solution of GalNP beads loaded with rhodamine [GalNP(rho)] at 4 mg/ml, equivalent to 1 mg/kg of deliverable rhodamine. 6 hours later mice were sacrificed and lung cells were analysed by flow cytometry and sorted into Rho+ or Rho- cells, all CD45-CD31-.
