Abstract: | Pancreatic beta cells secrete insulin in response to glucose levels and thus are involved in controlling blood glucose levels. A line of pancreatic beta cells "MIN6" has been used in studies related to the function of beta cells and diabetes therapy. Regulating gene expression in MIN6 cells could accelerate these studies, but an efficient method for the transfection of nucleic acids targeted to MINE cells is required. We report here on a liposome-based carrier targeted to pancreatic beta cells (Multifunctional envelope-type nano device for pancreatic beta cells, beta-MEND). We identified a lipid composition for use in preparing the beta-MEND, which permits the particles to be efficiently internalized into MIN6, as evidenced by flow cytometry analyses. Intracellular observation by confocal laser scanning microscopy showed that the beta-MEND efficiently delivered the oligo nucleic acids to the cytosol of MINE cells. Moreover, using a beta-MEND encapsulating a 2'-O-Methyl RNA complementary to a microRNA that suppresses insulin secretion, the knockdown of the targeted microRNA and an up-regulation of insulin secretion were observed in MINE. Thus, the beta-MEND holds promise as an efficient system for delivering nucleic acids targeted to MIN6 and can contribute to research and therapy aimed at diabetes. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
