Abstract

Massive efforts have been devoted to insulin delivery for diabetes care. Achieving a long-term tight-regulated blood glucose level with a low risk of hypoglycemia remains a great challenge. In this study we propose a novel strategy to efficiently regulate insulin action after insulin is injected or released into patient body aiming to achieve better glycemic control, which is achieved by the administration of insulin-conjugated magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs-Ins). We show that the locomotion of MNPs-Ins can be controlled to reach a target site on an in vitro microfluidic platform, which may open a way to modulate the physiological effect of insulin in a remote-control manner. Most importantly, the in vivo blood glucose regulation of the MNPs-Ins was performed on diabetic mice to understand the glycemic control performance. The results showed that the MNPs-Ins can achieve a better glycemic control with longer effective drug duration while not causing hypoglycemia and a magnetic-modulated hypoglycemic dynamics. Moreover, the in vivo histochemistry experiments confirmed the good biocompatibility of MNPs-Ins. Along with our on-going research on the possibility of the recycle and reuse of the MNPs-Ins, the finding presented in this paper may manifest a fascinating potential in insulin delivery in the near future.

摘要

人们在胰岛素输送方面付出了巨大努力,旨在实现糖尿病治疗中对患者血糖的长期严格调控,同时尽量降低低血糖风险。在这项研究中,我们提出了一种新策略,通过将胰岛素与磁性纳米颗粒(MNPs-Ins)结合,在胰岛素被注入或释放到病人体内后,高效调节其作用,从而实现更好的血糖控制。我们发现,MNPs-Ins 的运动可以在体外微流控平台上被控制,使其到达目标位置,这可能为以远程控制的方式调节胰岛素的生理效应开辟了一条新途径。最重要的是,我们在糖尿病小鼠上进行了 MNPs-Ins 的体内血糖调节实验,以了解其血糖控制性能。结果表明,MNPs-Ins 可以实现更好的血糖控制,有效药物持续时间更长,同时不会引起低血糖和磁调制的低血糖动力学。此外,体内组织化学实验证实了 MNPs-Ins 的良好生物相容性。结合我们正在进行的关于 MNPs-Ins 回收和再利用可能性的研究,本文的发现可能在不久的将来为胰岛素输送带来引人注目的潜力。
