Description of C12-200

C12-200 is an ionizable cationic lipidoid commonly utilized as a nucleic acid delivery vehicle[1]. C12-200 possesses unique ionization properties, enabling it to bind with negatively charged nucleic acid molecules, such as mRNA, under physiological conditions to form stable complexes. This facilitates efficient nucleic acid encapsulation and promotes cytosolic delivery, making it applicable in drug delivery, vaccine development, and gene therapy, particularly suited for mRNA vaccine delivery systems[2-4].

In vitro, pretreatment of rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons, rat primary cortical neurons, and the human cortical neuron cell line (HCN-2) with C12-200 lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) at 50nM for 4–24 hours significantly enhanced siRNA cellular uptake efficiency while maintaining high cell viability[5]. Co-incubation of ARPE-19 cells and MIO-M1 Müller glial cells with C12-200 LNPs (loaded with 1μg mRNA or 0.2–1μg saRNA) for 24 hours increased enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) expression levels in the cells[6].

In vivo, administration of C12-200 LNPs (1mg mRNA/kg) via intraperitoneal or intravenous injection in 6-8-week-old female C57BL/6 mice significantly altered the biodistribution pattern of mRNA. Compared to the cholesterol-based benchmark LNP (S2), C12-200 LNPs exhibited strong liver tropism[7]. Additionally, intraperitoneal injection of C12-200 LNPs (1mg/kg siRNA-Cy5.5) in 8-12-week-old Balb/c mice significantly enhanced the uptake of Cy5.5-labeled siRNA in GATA6+ large peritoneal macrophages (LPMs) and induced the migration of LPMs to the lung tissue via systemic circulation within 12-24 hours following clodronate-mediated depletion of alveolar macrophages (AMs)[8].

Protocol of C12-200

Preparation of siRNA-Loaded Liposomes

This protocol is provided as a guide only and should be modified according to your specific needs.

(1) Lipid/Ethanolic Phase Preparation:​ Dissolve the lipid components in ethanol at a molar ratio of 50/10/38.5/1.5 (C12-200 / DSPC / Cholesterol / PEG-DMG).

(2) Aqueous Phase Preparation:​ Prepare a 1mg/mL solution of siRNA in 10 mM citrate buffer, pH=4.0.

(3) siRNA Liposome Formation via Rapid Mixing:​ Under continuous vortexing, add the entire volume of the lipid/ethanolic phase to the aqueous phase dropwise over 30 seconds. Vortex the mixture for an additional 30 seconds. Add a pre-calculated volume of 1X PBS, pH 7.4, to the siRNA liposomes to adjust the final siRNA concentration to the desired level. Maintain the weight-to-weight (w/w) ratio of the ionizable cationic lipidoid (C12-200) to siRNA at 5:1.

Precautions:

(1) Maintain sterile techniques where applicable to prevent contamination.

(2) Store the prepared liposomes at 2-8°C when not in use. Monitor colloidal stability over time.
