Cholesterol and DOPE were added because previous studies have shown that these helper lipids can increase the stabilization of nanoparticles, membrane infusion, and cellular internalization.
  • GFP mRNA was loaded into different nanopartide formulations by mixing mRNA and LNPs in PBS buffer (R-O16CBA/mRNA ::: 10/1; weight ratio). Most of the combinatial LNPs showed great stability during storage. Furthermore, the stability of LNPs can be further improved by adding small- and macrornolecular excipients (cholesterol, DOPE, PEG-DSPE etc.) into the formulations. It should be noted that in all of the following studies, freshly prepared LNPs were used unless otherwise noted.
  • helper lipids greatly improved LNP delivery' efficacy, with multiple LNPs achieving GFP expression comparable to that of Lpf2k.
  • all LNPs except for 93-O16CBA-F1 (-2% GFP+ cells), showed higher efficacies than their corresponding R-016CBA formulations.
  • Nine of the R-016CBA-F1 formulations had >50% delivery efficiency, with 81-O16CBA-F1 being the highest in producing -93% GFP+ cells.
  • Other top formulations such as 76-, 77-, 113-, 306-, and 400- 016CBA-F1 induced delivery ' efficacies of 78-83%.
  • 81-Q16CBA-F2 was determined to he the most efficient in this formulated library' as ⁇ 78% GFP+ cells were recorded. Once again, 113-, 306-, and 400-016CBA-F2 were still among the top LNPs, as their delivery efficacies were determined to be 57-73%.
  • helper lipids can improve most LNP deli very efficacies.
  • R- 016CBA-F2 LNPs which had higher DOPE content, had comparable or slightly lower efficacies than R-016CBA-F1 LNPs.
  • 81-016CBA-F1 and -F2 were determined to he the most efficient in the two formulation libraries, and three-tailed LNPs performed well both with and without helper lipids.
  • helper lipids like cholesterol and DOPE would result in very similar to slightly lower cytotoxicity of the formulations, which is reasonable considering the excellent cell compatibility' of cholesterol and DOPE etc.
  • Lpf2k is highly efficient for mRNA delivery', it is also rather toxic, as only -53% of cells w'ere viable after delivery.
  • the newly developed R-016CBA LNPs were less toxic under the same conditions. 306- and 400-016CBA had -70% cell viabilities, and 81- and 113-O16CBA had >90% cell viabilities.
