Nanoencapsulated capsaicin changes migration behavior and morphology of madin darby canine kidney cell monolayers

Abstract: We have developed a drug delivery nanosystem based on chitosan and capsaicin. Both substances have a wide range of biological activities. We investigated the nanosystem’s influence on migration and morphology of Madin Darby canine kidney (MDCK-C7) epithelial cells in comparison to the capsaicin-free nanoformulation, free capsaicin, and control cells. For minimally-invasive quantification of cell migration, we applied label-free digital holographic microscopy (DHM) and single-cell tracking. Moreover, quantitati… Show more

“…As cofilin was able to depolymerize actin structures, we think that its activation was responsible for the observed reorganization of the actin skeleton and the connected tight junction proteins. Similar results were obtained with primary mouse endothelial cells and in our previous studies with MDCK cells [18]. The staining of other tight junction proteins in future studies could be extremely informative towards the elucidation of the mechanistic underpinning at play.…”

“…Because capsaicin can also promote cell migration 53 , 54 , the dynamic behaviour of the cells was analysed by calculating frame-to-frame differences in our videos. In comparison to untreated cells (control), cellular motilities of T24 and UROtsa cells were slightly higher for few minutes after the administration (time point 0 h) of Chi-NCs and Chi-NC-Cap (5.6 × 10 12 particles mL −1 = 500 µm capsaicin).…”

“…Particle-induced cytotoxicity can also be determined by other label-free methods using confluent cell layers, such as measurement of transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) [58], with limitations compared to DHM concerning costs, maximum sample numbers and sensitivity to detect morphology changes, or histogram-based evaluation of quantitative DHM phase contrast images [59]. An advantage of these methods for the toxicity assessment is that they do not rely on cell growth rate or dry mass increment, which can depend on specific cell culture conditions but only partly reflect the characteristics of proliferating cells.…”
