description | Introduction: Inflammatory response plays an important role in the disease progress or therapeutic effect. In this context, it is highly required to develop a technology to visualize the inflammatory response. In this study, macrophages and their microRNA (miRNA) which are involved in the inflammatory response, were focused while a system of molecular beacon (MB) to detect the miRNA of macrophages was designed and prepared. Methods: Gelatin nanospheres were prepared by the conventional coacervation method. An antibody with an affinity for the surface receptor of macrophages was immobilized onto the gelatin nanospheres by several methods. A nucleic acid-based MB for a pro-inflammatory miRNA 155–5p was designed and incorporated into the antibody-immobilized gelatin nanospheres (MB-gelatin NS). Macrophages before and after the polarization into pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory phenotypes were cultured with the MB-gelatin NS and change in the intracellular fluorescence was observed. Results: The antibody-immobilized gelatin nanospheres prepared by a coupling between the amino groups of gelatin and the sugar chains of antibody with NaIO4 showed the highest affinity for cellular receptor. MB complexed with the cell-penetrating (CP) peptide was successfully incorporated into the antibody-immobilized gelatin nanospheres. When cultured with pro-inflammatory macrophages, MB-gelatin NS efficiently detected the miRNA 155–5p to emit fluorescence. Conclusions: By the NaIO4 method, the antibody was immobilized onto gelatin nanospheres with a high affinity remaining while the MB was incorporated into the antibody-immobilized gelatin nanospheres. The MB incorporated allowed mRNA to visualize the pro-inflammatory nature of macrophages. |
