Abstract: Objective The purposes of this study are to evaluate the mechanism of delivering insulin with enhancer and additives on the in vitro cultured monolayer system of HIOEC(the human immortalized oral epithelial cell) lines.Methods The HIOECs formed continuous monolayers with polycarbonate filters of Transwell plate served to evaluate the transport of insulin.The transport studies were carried out at different conditions,with different penetration enhancers(HP-β-CD,chitosan,polyoxyethylene lauryl ether,egg lecithin,or oleic acid),and different additives(poly-L-lysine,colchicine).Results Under different conditions,the transport of insulin was not direction-,temperature-,and concentration-dependent.Conclusion The enhancing effects might be due to one or multiple factors:increasing the mucosal lipid fluidity,directly loosing the tight junction,and changing the steric conformation of protein.
