摘要

Psoriasis is an autoimmune inflammatory disease,where dendritic cells(DCs)play an impor-tant role in its pathogenesis.In our previous work,we have demonstrated that topical delivery of curcumin-loaded poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)(PLGA)nanoparticles(NPs)could treat Imiquimod(IMQ)-induced psoriasis-like mice.The objective of this study is to further elucidate biofate of PLGA NPs after intradermal delivery including DCs uptake,and their further trafficking in psoriasis-like mice model by using fluorescence probes.Two-sized DiO/DiI-loaded PLGA NPs of 50±4.9 nm(S-NPs)and 226±7.8 nm(L-NPs)were fabricated,respectively.In vitro cellular uptake results showed that NPs could be internalized into DCs with intact form,and DCs preferred to uptake larger NPs.Consistently,in vivo study showed that L-NPs were more captured by DCs and NPs were firstly transported to skin-draining lymph nodes(SDLN),then to spleens after 8 h injection,whereas more S-NPs were transported into SDLN and spleens.Moreover,FRET imaging showed more structurally intact L-NPs distributed in skins and lymph nodes.In conclusion,particle size can affect the uptake and trafficking of NPs by DCs in skin and lymphoid system,which needs to be considered in NPs tailing to treat inflammatory skin disease like psoriasis.
