Abstract | We have previously shown the use of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) functionalized with DNA (AuNP-DNA) to increase insulin mRNA translation in a cell-free system. In this study, we translate the concept into a whole cell system to demonstrate functionality despite the additional complexity of intracellular delivery and mRNA translation inside living cells. We selected an insulin-secreting pancreatic islet cell line, RIN-5F, as our model and designed a DNA oligomer (insDNA) that is complementary to the 3'-untranslated region of insulin mRNA for conjugation to AuNPs (AuNP-insDNA). AuNP-insDNA was stable in the extracellular environment of RIN-5F cells for up to 24 h, without eliciting any cell toxicity. Upon cellular entry, AuNP-insDNA was able to sustain enhanced insulin secretion from 6 to 12 h post-incubation, peaking at 10 h with an enhancement factor of 1.69-fold. This enhancement was not observed when insDNA was removed or replaced with poly thymine or poly adenine DNAs. The enhanced insulin secreted was 100% functional and capable of binding to its insulin receptor. The outcome of this study demonstrated the feasibility of AuNP-DNA to enhance the synthesis of proteins in whole cells and could serve as a new direction of invoking a patient's own beta cells to increase insulin secretion for treatment of diabetes. |
