Abstrakt: Liver-targeted cargo delivery possesses great potential for the treatment of liver disease. It is urgent to find an efficient and biocompatible liver targeted delivery system. This study focused on the liver targeting properties of erythrocyte ghosts and its possible mechanism. Herein, we optimized conditions to fabricate human and mouse erythrocyte ghosts with sufficient room capable of incorporating various model substances. Erythrocyte ghosts are biocompatible cargo carriers because it is derived from autologous red blood cells (RBCs), and the cell size, zeta potential, and biconcave-disk shape of the ghosts were consistent with those of RBCs. An in vivo imaging system and positron emission tomography/computed tomography imaging showed that the ghosts were captured mainly in the liver by intravenous injection of fluorescence or 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-labelled ghosts into mice. In contrast, the main concentration of naked octreotide was trapped in the lungs while naked 18 F-FDG was trapped in the heart. However, the concentration of cargo-loaded ghosts decreased significantly in the liver in macrophage-depleted mice. Accordingly, in vitro experiments showed that higher phosphatidylserine exposure was observed in the ghosts (38.9 %) compared to normal erythrocytes (0.69 %), and the phagocytic activity of the macrophage RAW 264.7. on the ghosts was significantly higher than that of normal erythrocytes (p < 0.001). Together they indicate that erythrocyte ghosts show liver targeting properties, and possibly owing to macrophage phagocytosis. This promising and effective therapeutic delivery system may provide therapeutic benefits for liver disease.
