Bile acid-modified nanoparticles can improve oral bioavailability of poorly permeable drugs by interacting with bile acid transporters. This study investigates the transport of glycocholic acid (GCA)-conjugated polystyrene nanoparticles (GCPNs) in Caco-2 cell models and identifies a new pathway correlated with both apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter (ASBT) and chylomicron pathways. The study also reveals that the higher uptake of GCPNs does not result in higher transcytosis compared to unmodified nanoparticles (CPNs). Pharmacological and genomics analysis indicate that GCA conjugation alters endocytosis mechanisms and downregulates cellular response, leading to higher cellular retention of GCPNs.
Bile acid-modified nanoparticles provide a convenient strategy to improve oral bioavailability of poorly permeable drugs by exploiting specific interactions with bile acid transporters. However, the underlying mechanisms are unknown, especially considering the different absorption sites of free bile acids (ileum) and digested fat molecules from bile acid-emulsified fat droplets (duodenum). Here, glycocholic acid (GCA)-conjugated polystyrene nanoparticles (GCPNs) are synthesized and their transport in Caco-2 cell models is studied. GCA conjugation enhances the uptake by interactions with apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter (ASBT). A new pathway correlated with both ASBT and chylomicron pathways is identified. Meanwhile, the higher uptake of GCPNs does not lead to higher transcytosis to the same degree compared with unmodified nanoparticles (CPNs). The pharmacological and genomics study confirm that GCA conjugation changes the endocytosis mechanisms and downregulates the cellular response to the transport at gene levels, which works as a negative feedback loop and explains the higher cellular retention of GCPNs. These findings offer a solid foundation in the bile acid-based nanomedicine design, with utilizing advantages of the ASBT-mediated uptake, as well as inspiration to take comprehensive consideration of the cellular response with more developed technologies.
