We developed a glucose-responsive complex polymeric micelle (CPM) through the self-assembly of two types of diblock copolymers, poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(aspartic acid-co-aspartamidophenylboronic acid) (PEG-b-P(Asp-co-AspPBA)) and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-b-poly(aspartic acid-co-aspartamidophenylboronic acid) (PNIPAM-b-P(Asp-co-AspPBA)). By controlling the weight ratio between PNIPAM and PEG (W-PNIPAM/W-PEG = 6/4), the block copolymers form complex micelles with a novel core-shell-corona structure. By following this structure, the continuous PNIPAM shell collapsed on the glucose-responsive P(Asp-co-AspPBA) core. As a result, the CPM exhibits a reversible swelling in response to changes in the glucose concentration, enabling the repeated on-off release of insulin regulated by glucose level. Furthermore, the CPM could effectively protect the encapsulated insulin against protease degradation. Therefore, this glucose-responsive CPM provides a simple and powerful strategy to construct a self-regulated insulin delivery system for diabetes treatment.
