1. Helodermin-loaded nanoparticles: characterization and transport across an in vitro model of the follicle-associated epithelium
Anne des Rieux, et al. J Control Release. 2007 Apr 23;118(3):294-302. doi: 10.1016/j.jconrel.2006.12.023. Epub 2006 Dec 29.
M cells represent a potential portal for oral delivery of peptides and proteins due to their high endocytosis abilities. An in vitro model of human FAE (co-cultures) was used to evaluate the influence of M cells on the transport of free and encapsulated helodermin--a model peptide--across the intestinal epithelium. M cells enhanced transport of intact helodermin (18-fold, Papp=3 x 10(-6) cm s(-1)). As pegylation increased nanoparticle transport by M cells, helodermin was encapsulated in 200 nm nanoparticles containing PEG-b-PLA:PLGA 1:1. Stability of the selected formulation was demonstrated in simulated gastric and intestinal fluids. M cells increased the transport of helodermin encapsulated in these nanoparticles by a factor of 415, as compared to Caco-2 cells. Transport of free and encapsulated helodermin occurred most probably by endocytosis. In conclusion, M cells improved helodermin transport across the intestinal epithelium, confirming their high potential for oral delivery of peptides.
3. Helodermin-like peptides in thyroid C cells: stimulation of thyroid hormone secretion and suppression of calcium incorporation into bone
T Grunditz, P Persson, R Håkanson, A Absood, G Böttcher, C Rerup, F Sundler Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1989 Feb;86(4):1357-61. doi: 10.1073/pnas.86.4.1357.
Helodermin is a vasoactive intestinal peptide-like peptide in the salivary gland venom of the lizard Heloderma suspectum. Helodermin-like immunofluorescence was observed in the parafollicular (C) cells in several mammals and in the C cell homologues of the chicken ultimobranchial gland. Thus, helodermin-like peptides coexist with calcitonin. The results of radioimmunoassay agreed with the immunocytochemical findings. HPLC of rat thyroid extracts revealed one major peak of helodermin-like immunoreactivity, which eluted in a position close to that of lizard helodermin. Helodermin stimulated basal thyroid hormone secretion and colloid droplet formation in conscious mice. The effect of large doses of helodermin was quite long-lasting and the maximal response occurred after 2-6 hr. In addition, helodermin suppressed the incorporation of calcium into bone in conscious rats. The findings suggest that helodermin-like peptides in C cells may be involved in the local regulation of thyroid hormone secretion and in the maintenance of calcium homeostasis.
