Peptide coated polycaprolactone-benzalkonium chloride nanocap-sules for targeted drug delivery to the pancreatic β-cell

Targeting of current therapies to treat or prevent loss of pancreatic islet β-cells in Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) may provide improved efficacy and reduce off target effects. Current efforts to target the β-cell are limited by a lack of β-cell specific targets and the inability to test multiple targeting...

description Targeting of current therapies to treat or prevent loss of pancreatic islet β-cells in Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) may provide improved efficacy and reduce off target effects. Current efforts to target the β-cell are limited by a lack of β-cell specific targets and the inability to test multiple targeting moieties with the same delivery vehicle. Here we fabricate a tailorable polycaprolactone nanocapsule (NC) where multiple different targeting peptides can be interchangeably attached for β-cell specific delivery. Incorporation of a cationic surfactant in the NC shell allows for the attachment of Exendin-4 and an antibody for ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase 3 (ENTPD3) for β-cell specific targeting. The average NC size ranges from 250-300nm with a polydispersity index under 0.2. The NCs are non-toxic, stable in media culture, and can be lyophilized and reconstituted. NCs coated with targeting peptide were taken up by human cadaveric islet β-cells and human stem cell-derived β-like cells (sBC) in vitro with a high level of specificity. Furthermore, NCs successfully delivered both hydrophobic and hydrophilic cargo to human β-cells. Additionally, Exendin-4 coated NCs were stable and targeted the mouse pancreatic islet β-cell in vivo. Overall, our tailorable NCs have the potential to improve cell-targeted drug delivery and can be utilized as a screening platform to test the efficacy of cell targeting peptides.
