Research Abstract |
Although nano-particles have been developed for medical treatments, immune-responses including phagocytosis by macrophages are a major obstacle for medical use. Recently, a biosurfactant protein, hydrophobin originating from conidia of the pathogenic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus has been shown as an escaping factor from host immune-systems (stealth factor). In the present study, we developed novel stealth nano particles coated with the hydrophobin RolA of the industrial fungus Aspergillus oryzae. Fe3O4 nano-particles were coated with purified RolA. When RolA-coated particles were incubated with dendritic cells, cytokine production from dendritic cells was not stimulated. RolA-coated particles showed lower levels of phagocytosis by macrophages than non-coated particles. When RolA-coated particles were administered to mice by intravenous injection, RolA-coated particles indicated significantly lower levels of accumulation to the liver and spleen than non-coated particles by MRI-imaging.
