Transcytosis of nanoparticles (NPs) is emerging as an attractive alternative to the paracellular route in cancer drug delivery with studies suggesting targeting caveolae-mediated endocytosis to maximize NP transcytosis. However, there are limited studies on transcytosis of NPs, especially for corona-coated NPs. Most studies focused on cellular uptake as an indirect measure of the NP's transcellular permeability (P-d). Here, we probed the effect of protein corona on the uptake and transcytosis of 20, 40, 100, and 200 nm polystyrene nanoparticles (pNP-PC) across HUVECs in a microfluidic channel that modelled the microvasculature. We observed increased cell uptake with size of pNP-PC although it was the smallest 20 nm pNP-PC that exhibited the highest transcellular P-d. In the absence of corona however, cell uptake decreased with size, and the largest 200 nm pNP-PEG exhibited the lowest transcellular P-d. By inhibiting caveolae-mediated endocytosis in HUVECs, smaller pNPs had a larger drop in cell uptake than larger pNPs, regardless of surface coating. However, only the smallest (20 nm) and largest (200 nm) pNP-PC had a decrease in P-d following inhibition with MCD. Our findings showed that the protein corona affected the transcytosis of NPs, and their uptake by caveolae-mediated endocytosis did not necessarily lead to transcytosis.
