ABSTRACT
Analytical tools to study cell physiology are critical for optimizing drug-host interactions. Real time pulse chase NMR spectroscopy, RTPC-NMR, was introduced to monitor the kinetics of metabolite production in HEK 293T cells treated with COVID-19 vaccine-like lipid nanoparticles, LNPs, with and without mRNA. Kinetic flux parameters were resolved for the incorporation of isotopic label into metabolites and clearance of labeled metabolites from the cells. Changes in the characteristic times for alanine production implicated mitochondrial dysfunction as a consequence of treating the cells with lipid nanoparticles, LNPs. Mitochondrial dysfunction was largely abated by inclusion of mRNA in the LNPs, the presence of which increased the size and uniformity of the LNPs. The methodology is applicable to all cultured cells.
