Abstract
The goal of this study was to evaluate the impact of liposome nanocarrier size on the efficacy of its transport across the middle-inner ear barriers. The dynamic distribution of liposome nanocarriers encapsulating gadolinium-tetra-azacyclo-dodecane-tetra-acetic acid (LPS+Gd-DOTA) of sizes 95, 130, and 240 nm were observed with a 4.7 T magnetic resonance machine after transtympanic injection in Wistar rats. Histology was performed with confocal microscopy using TRITC conjugated LPS+Gd-DOTA. The integrity of the LPS+Gd-DOTA after transportation was evaluated using cryo-transmission electron microscopy (Cryo-TEM). Size-dependent transport of the LPS+Gd-DOTA across the middle-inner ear barriers was shown using magnetic resonance imaging, which indicated that the 95-nm nanocarrier showed the significantly highest transport percentage, that the 130-nm nanocarrier showed moderate transport, and that the 240 nm nanocarrier showed the lowest transport. Histologic examinations showed that the LPS+Gd-DOTA were distributed in the epithelial cells of the utricle, capillaries of the spiral ligament, and the spiral ganglion cells. LPS+Gd-DOTA remained intact in the perilymph after transportation. The nanocarrier delivery strategy used in this...Continue Reading
