To address this issue, we report a bioorthogonal pre-targeting strategy that uses focused ultrasound to promote the delivery of mRNA-loaded lipid nanoparticles (mRNA-LNP). We synthesized amphiphilic click reactive anchors (ACRAs) consisting of a phospholipid PEG-conjugate functionalized with transcyclooctene (TCO) or its companion reactive partner methyltetrazine (mTz), yielding ACRA-TCO and ACRA-mTz. ACRA derivatives were screened for cellular activity, yielding functionalized DOPE-PEG (1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N- (polyethylene glycol)) derivatives outperforming those containing saturated lipid or branched PEG. Nanobubbles encapsulating ultrasound-responsive gas precursor delivered ACRA-TCO to targeted cells and tissues using focused ultrasound, and this pre-targeting promoted the subsequent delivery of mRNA- LNP functionalized with companion ACRA-mTz. In cell cultures and in mice, ultrasound pre-targeting enhanced the accumulation of mTz-functionalized small molecule and nanoparticle compounds by 75% and 3.6-fold, respectively, and increased gene expression using mRNA-LNP in vivo. Taken together, this report presents a modular, ultrasound-enabled strategy for enhancing nucleic acid delivery in targeted tissues.
