However, it is difficult to deliver NF-κB decoy oligonucleotides (ODN) into the skin by conventional methods based on passive diffusion because of its hydrophilicity and high molecular weight. In this study, we evaluated the in vitro transdermal delivery of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-NF-κB decoy ODN using a pulse depolarization (PDP) iontophoresis. In vitro iontophoretic experiments were performed on isolated C57BL/6 mice skin using a horizontal diffusion cell. The apparent flux values of FITC-NF-κB decoy ODN were enhanced with increasing the current density and NF-κB decoy ODN concentration by iontophoresis. Accumulation of FITC-NF-κB decoy ODN was observed at the epidermis and upper dermis by iontophoresis. In mouse model of skin inflammation, iontophoretic delivery of NF-κB decoy ODN significantly reduced the increase in ear thickness caused by phorbol ester as well as the protein and mRNA expression levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the mice ears. These results suggest that iontophoresis is a useful and promising enhancement technique for transdermal delivery of NF-κB decoy ODN., https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378517310002929?via%3Dihub}, pages = {127--134}, title = {Potential use of iontophoresis for transdermal delivery of NF-κB decoy oligonucleotides}, volume = {393}, year = {2010} }
