Colonic targeting insulin
In addition, insulin is a large molecular weight protein with strong hydrophilicity, which prevents its intestinal penetration and results in extremely low oral bioavailability [2]. To overcome these unfavorable conditions, nanocarrier drug delivery systems have been proposed as a potential approach for oral insulin delivery [3, 4].
Abstract. We investigated the expression of insulin -like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3) in normal human colonic epithelium and whether IGFBP-3 is involved in the induction of apoptosis in colonic epithelial cells. A gradient of IGFBP-3 protein expression was observed within the normal colonic crypt, and increased IGFBP-3 expression was coincident with the region of increased ...

Insulin stimulates colonic mucosal cells proliferation directly and by influencing the concentration of insulin -like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and insulin -like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3). To estimate serum concentrations of insulin , ...
The insulin and IGF-1 signal transduction pathway involved in the regulation of gene expression and mitogenicity is mediated by activation of the ras protein (44, 45); ras mutations that increase activity of the ras protein occur in approximately half of colonic cancers (46) and may enhance growth of adenomas into cancers (17).

Enhanced oral delivery of insulin via the colon
Therefore, many formulation approaches have attempted to improve the intestinal absorption as well as the physicochemical and enzymatic stability of orally administered insulin , which are exemplified by M-cell targeted- or colon-targeted delivery systems and cell-penetrating protein (CPP)-conjugated nanoparticles [13].

Rectal administration of insulin as a suppository or p.o. administration of a proteolysis-resistant insulin analog lowers serum glucose levels, suggesting uptake and/or diffusion of intact insulin across the epithelium of the large intestine; however, no rigorous studies of insulin degradation and/or transepithelial flux in vitro have been reported with isolated colonic epithelium. Everted and ...
