This study was aimed at the transport across blood-brain barrier (BBB) of polysorbate-80 modified neurotoxin loaded polybutylcyanoacrylate nanoparticle (P-80-NT-NP) and its cytotoxicity. An in vitro model of BBB using rat brain microvascular endothelial cells (rBMECs) was established. The cytotoxicity of P-80-NT-NP was measured by the MTT assays, where neurotoxin (NT), nanoparticle (NP), neurotoxin nanoparticle (NT-NP) as control, and the permeability of P-80-NT-NP was determined by using of Millicell insert coculture with rBMECs and fluorescence spectrophotometry. MTT results showed that NT, NP, NT-NP and P-80-NT-NP were avirulent to rBMECs when the concentration of NT was lower than 200 ng x mL(-1). But the cytotoxicity of NP, NT-NP and P-80-NT-NP would be augmented accordingly as concentration increased (P < 0.01), causing obvious reductions of cell survival rate, with no significant difference between them (P > 0.05). When the concentration of NT was 150 ng x mL(-1), the permeability on rBMECs of P-80-NT-NP and NT-NP were both significantly higher than that of NT (P < 0.01), and the permeability of P-80-NT-NP was greater than that of NT-NP (P < 0.05). In conclusion, polysorbate-80 modified neurotoxin nanoparticles can transport across the BBB, while concentration of NT is greater than 200 ng x mL(-1), P-80-NT-NP has a little cytotoxicity against rBMECs.
本研究旨在探讨聚山梨酯80修饰的载神经毒素聚氰基丙烯酸正丁酯纳米粒(P-80-NT-NP)的血脑屏障(BBB)转运及其细胞毒性。建立了以大鼠脑微血管内皮细胞(rBMECs)为模型的体外血脑屏障模型。采用MTT法检测P-80-NT-NP的细胞毒性,以神经毒素(NT)、纳米粒(NP)、神经毒素纳米粒(NT-NP)作为对照,通过与rBMECs共培养的Millicell小室和荧光分光光度法测定P-80-NT-NP的通透性。MTT结果显示,当NT浓度低于200 ng x mL(-1)时,NT、NP、NT-NP和P-80-NT-NP对rBMECs均无毒性。但NP、NT-NP和P-80-NT-NP的细胞毒性会随浓度增加而相应增强(P < 0.01),导致细胞存活率明显降低,三者之间差异无统计学意义(P > 0.05)。当NT浓度为150 ng x mL(-1)时,P-80-NT-NP和NT-NP对rBMECs的通透性均显著高于NT(P < 0.01),且P-80-NT-NP的通透性大于NT-NP(P < 0.05)。综上所述,聚山梨酯80修饰的神经毒素纳米粒能够透过血脑屏障,当NT浓度大于200 ng x mL(-1)时,P-80-NT-NP对rBMECs有轻微细胞毒性。
