Direct Effects of poly(ε-caprolactone) lipid-core Nanocapsules on Human Immune Cells

Abstract: Aim: Poly(ε-caprolactone) lipid-core nanocapsules (LNCs) are efficient drug carriers and drug-free LNCs display therapeutic effects, inhibiting tumor growth and neutrophil activities. Herein, we investigated the direct actions of LNCs on human immune cells, to guide their therapeutic application. Materials & methods: LNC’s uptake, cytokine release, cell migration, proliferation and intracellular pathways under inflammatory stimulation were investigated. Results & conclusion: LNCs quickly penetrated leu… Show more

“…Another interesting study looked at the direct effects of drug-free poly(ε-caprolactone) lipid-core nanocapsules (LNCs) on leukocytes and found that these particles inhibit the secretory abilities of leukocytes in both basal and stimulated conditions. This suggest that even carrier particles can have distinct effects on leukocyte function and must be carefully evaluated and then used to guide their therapeutic applications to avoid discrepancies between the immunological effects of the carrier and the drug itself [99].…”

“…For instance, lipid‐core nanocapsules (LCNs) decrease cells migration rate, IL‐8 production, intracellular Ca 2+ level, and phosphorylation of p38 and ERK1/2. [ 142 ] Certain types of NPs, such as liposomes and PS NPs, neither stimulate nor inhibit NΦ functions and viability. [ 143 ]…”

[142] Certain types of NPs, such as liposomes and PS NPs, neither stimulate nor inhibit NΦ functions and viability. [143] Based on the available data on NP-NΦ interaction it is problematic to find the correlation between any one single parameter of NP and cell response.…”

“…Different types of nanomaterials have been used as targeted carriers, including poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) lipid-core nanocapsules (LNCs) [ 20 ]. PCL-LNCs, which are composed of an oil nucleus revested by a PCL polymeric schedule, have a high encapsulation capacity of lipophilic substances and are considered a promising device in drug delivery [ 21 , 22 ]. The use of PCL as a polymer is appropriate once it presents biodegradability and biocompatibility capacity, which makes it an up-and-coming drug carrier with high potential for therapeutic applications [ 22 ].…”
