E-selectin, exclusively expressed on activated endothelial cells, is a potential target for site-directed delivery of agents. We and others have shown that sialyl LewisX-liposomes (sLe(x)-liposomes) are recognized by E-selectin. We now report an approach employing sLe(x)-liposomes to deliver antisense oligonucleotides (AS-ODNs) directed against the adhesion molecule ICAM-1 to activated vascular endothelial cells. ICAM-1 expression was analyzed at the protein level by immunofluorescence and a cell surface ELISA, and at the RNA level by RT-PCR. We have investigated two different AS-ODNs complementary to the 3' untranslated region and the AUG translation initiation codon of ICAM-1 mRNA. Both inhibited protein expression, but did not influence the mRNA level, pointing to a hybridization of AS-ODNs with the mRNA in the cytoplasm. Our results demonstrate the feasibility of a novel approach for the delivery of agents to activated endothelial cells by glycoliposomes targeted to E-selectin.
