Abstract
Ligand-modified nanocarriers can promote oral or inhalative administration of macromolecular drugs across the intestinal or pulmonary mucosa. However, enhancing the unidirectional transport of the nanocarriers through "apical uptake→intracellular transport→basolateral exocytosis" route remains a hot topic and challenge in current research. Forskolin is a naturally occurring diterpenoid compound extracted from the roots of C. forskohlii. In our studies, we found that forskolin could increase the transcellular transport of butyrate-modified nanoparticles by 1.67-fold and 1.20-fold in Caco-2 intestinal epithelial cell models and Calu-3 lung epithelial cell models, respectively. Further mechanistic studies revealed that forskolin, on the one hand, promoted the cellular uptake of butyrate-modified nanoparticles by upregulating the expression of monocarboxylic acid transporter-1 (MCT-1) on the apical membrane. On the other hand, forskolin facilitated the binding of MCT-1 to caveolae, thereby mediating butyrate-modified nanoparticles hijacking caveolae to promote the basolateral exocytosis of butyrate-modified nanoparticles. Studies in normal mice model showed that forskolin could promote the transmucosal absorption of butyrate-modified nanoparticles by >2-fold, regardless of oral or inhalative administration. Using semaglutide as the model drug, both oral and inhalation delivery approaches demonstrated significant hypoglycemic effects in type 2 diabetes mice model, in which inhalative administration was more effective than oral administration. This study optimized the strategies aimed at enhancing the transmucosal absorption of ligand-modified nanocarriers in the intestinal or pulmonary mucosa.

Eur J Pharm Biopharm 2024; 195:114179. [PMID: 38199584 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejpb.2024.114179] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2023] [Revised: 11/24/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 01/12/2024]
Abstract
The timely suppression of inflammatory mediator production and mitigation of their effects on pancreatic acinar cells are crucial for the successful management of acute pancreatitis. To achieve effective treatment, we present a novel approach utilizing cysteine modified PEG nanoparticles for both precise accumulation at the site of pancreatitis and specific targeting of acinar cells. Methylprednisolone, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, was tailored to enhance its circulation time in the bloodstream, preferentially accumulate in the pancreas and enhance cell uptake efficiency by acinar cells through specifically targeting L-Type amino acid transporter 1. The nanosystem significantly downregulated pro-inflammatory cytokines in plasma, resulting in the effective suppression of inflammation in acinar cells within an acute pancreatitis rat model. The utilization of the dual targeted therapy strategy holds considerable potential for the clinical management of pancreatitis.
