The intracellular fate and transport mechanism of shape, size and rigidity varied nanocarriers for understanding their oral delivery efficiency
Abstract
Nanocarriers have become an effective strategy to overcome epithelial absorption barriers. During the absorption process, the endocytosis mechanisms, cell internalization pathways, and transport efficiency of nanocarriers are greatly impacted by their physical properties. To understand the relationship between physical properties of nanocarriers and their abilities overcoming multiple absorption barriers, nanocarriers with variable physical properties were prepared via self-assembly of hydrolyzed α-lactalbumin peptide fragments. The impacts of size, shape, and rigidity of nanocarriers on epithelial cells endocytosis mechanisms, internalization pathways, transport efficiency, and bioavailability were studied systematically. The results showed that nanospheres were mainly internalized via clathrin-mediated endocytosis, which was then locked in lysosomes and degraded enzymatically in cytoplasm. While macropinocytosis was the primary pathway of nanotubes and transported to the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus, resulting in a high drug concentration and sustained release in cytoplasm. Besides, nanotubes can overcome the multi-drug resistance by inhibiting the P-glycoprotein efflux. Furthermore, nanotubes can open intercellular tight-junctions instantaneously and reversibly, which promotes transport into blood circulation. The aqueous solubility of hydrophobic bioactive mangiferin (Mgf) was improved by nanocarriers. Most importantly, the bioavailability of Mgf was the high…

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
