Inflammatory bowel disease alters in vivo distribution of orally administrated nanoparticles: Revealing via SERS tag labeling technique

Talanta. 2024 Apr 27;275:126172. doi: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126172. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNanoparticles (NPs) could be uptake orally and exposed to digestive tract through various sources such as particulate pollutant, nanomedicine and food additive. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), as a global disease, induced disruption of the intestinal mucosal barrier and thus altered in vivo distribution of NPs as a possible consequence. However, related information was relatively scarce. Herein, in vivo distribution of typical silica (SiO2) and titania (TiO2) NPs was investigated in healthy and IBD models at cell and animal levels via a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) tag labeling technique. The labeled NPs were composed of gold SERS tag core and SiO2 (or TiO2) shell, demonstrating sensitive and characteristic SERS signals ideal to trace the NPs in vivo. Cell SERS mapping revealed that protein corona from IBD intestinal fluid decreased uptake of NPs by lipopolysaccharide-induced RAW264.7 cells compared with normal intestinal fluid protein corona. SERS signal detection combined with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) analysis of mouse tissues (heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney) indicated that both NPs tended to accumulate in lung specifically after oral administration for IBD mouse (6 out of 20 mice for SiO2 and 4 out of 16 mice for TiO2 were detected in lung). Comparatively, no NP signals were detected in all tissues from healthy mice. These fin...
