Lipid nanoparticle-mediated hepatocyte delivery of siRNA and silibinin in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.

Lipid nanoparticle-mediated co-delivery of siRNA and small molecule holds a great potential to treat metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). However, targeted delivery of therapeutics to hepatocytes remains challenging. Taking the advantage of rising low density lipoprotein receptor/very-low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR/VLDR) levels in MASLD, the biological fate of dinonylamine-ethylene glycol chlorophosphate-1-nonanol (DNNA-COP-NA) based lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) was oriented to liver tissues via apolipoprotein E (ApoE)-LDLR/VLDLR pathway.
