GATA3 gene silencing in activated T cells displays a promising option to early-on undermine pathological pathways in the disease formation of allergic asthma. The central transcription factor of T helper 2 (Th2) cell cytokines IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 plays a major role in immune and inflammatory cascades underlying asthmatic processes in the airways. Pulmonary delivery of small interfering RNAs (siRNA) to induce GATA3 knockdown within disease related T cells of asthmatic lungs via RNA interference (RNAi) presents an auspicious base to realize this strategy, however, still faces some major hurdles. Main obstacles for successful siRNA delivery in general comprise stability and targeting issues, while in addition the transfection of T cells presents a particularly challenging task itself. In previous studies, we have developed and advanced an eligible siRNA delivery system composed of polyethylenimine (PEI) as polycationic carrier, transferrin (Tf) as targeting ligand and melittin (Mel) as endosomolytic agent. Resulting Tf-Mel-PEI polyplexes exhibited ideal characteristics for targeted siRNA delivery to activated T cells and achieved efficient and sequence-specific gene knockdown in vitro. In this work, the therapeutic potential of this carrier system was evaluated in an optimized cellular model displaying the activated status of asthmatic T cells. Moreover, a suitable siRNA sequence combination was found for effective gene silencing of GATA3. To confirm the translatability of our findings, Tf-Mel-PEI polyplexes were additionally tested ex vivo in activated human precision-cut lung slices (PCLS). Here, the formulation showed a safe profile as well as successful delivery to the lung epithelium with 88% GATA3 silencing in lung explants. These findings support the feasibility of Tf-Mel-PEI as siRNA delivery system for targeted gene knockdown in activated T cells as a potential novel therapy for allergic asthma.
