Abstract

Intestinal organoids can be used as an ex vivo epithelial model to study different drug delivery effects on epithelial cells’ luminal surface. In this study, the impact of surface charge on the delivery of 5-ASA loaded PLGA nanoparticles into the lumen of organoids was investigated. Alginate and chitosan were used to coat the nanoparticles and provide negative and positive charges on the particles, respectively. The organoid growth and viability were not affected by the presence of either alginate- or chitosan-coated nanoparticles. It was shown that nanoparticles could be transported from the serosal side of the organoids to the lumen as the dye gradually accumulated in the lumen by day 2–3 after adding the nanoparticles to the Matrigel. By day 5, the dye was eliminated from the lumen of the organoids. It was concluded that the positively charged nanoparticles were more readily transported across the epithelium into the lumen. It may be attributed to the affinity of epithelial cells to the positive charge. Thus, the organoid can be utilized as an appropriate model to mimic the functions of the intestinal epithelium and can be used as a model to evaluate the benefits of nanoparticle-based drug delivery.

  • Growth factors can be encapsulated within nanoparticles and conjugated onto cell surfaces for controlled release.

    “these growth factors can be encapsulated within nanoparticles, and conjugated onto cell surfaces for controlled release85–88.”

    From Organoids (2022) · cites this paper as [87]

    The Introduction describes encapsulating drugs in nanoparticles and prolonged drug release. The Materials and Methods (section 4.2) and Conclusions identify 5-ASA—not growth factors—as the nanoparticle cargo. Although growth factors are listed as materials (section 4.1), the paper does not say they were encapsulated or conjugated onto cell surfaces for controlled release; page numbers were not available in our copy.

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.
