Abstract

In this study, a novel nanoparticle system for paracellular transport was prepared using a simple and mild ionic-gelation method upon addition of a poly-gamma-glutamic acid (gamma-PGA) solution into a low-molecular-weight chitosan (low-MW CS) solution. The particle size and the zeta potential value of the prepared nanoparticles can be controlled by their constituted compositions. The results obtained by the TEM and AFM examinations showed that the morphology of the prepared nanoparticles was spherical in shape. Evaluation of the prepared nanoparticles in enhancing intestinal paracellular transport was investigated in vitro in Caco-2 cell monolayers. It was found that the nanoparticles with CS dominated on the surfaces could effectively reduce the transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) of Caco-2 cell monolayers. After removal of the incubated nanoparticles, a gradual increase in TEER was noticed. The confocal laser scanning microscopy observations confirmed that the nanoparticles with CS dominated on the surface were able to open the tight junctions between Caco-2 cells and allowed transport of the nanoparticles via the paracellular pathways.

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.
