Since there is fluid flow in the human blood system, fluid flow also affects the drug delivery efficiency of NPs. This study aimed to evaluate the cellular behaviors of drug-loaded soft NPs on A549 cancer cells under different levels of shear stress (0.5, 5, and 50 dynes/cm2) in the biomimetic microfluidic system. The soft self-assembled NPs were formed by the gelatin–oleic conjugate (GOC). The poorly water-soluble coumarin-6 or paclitaxel (PTX) were used as model markers for encapsulation within self-assembled NPs (C-GONs or PTX-GONs, respectively). The cellular uptake of C-GONs was found to be improved with shear-stress dependence. The inhibitory concentration (IC50) of PTX-GONs at 0.5, 5, and 50 dynes/cm2 was 0.106 µg/mL, 0.108 µg/mL, and 0.091 µg/mL, respectively, as compared to 0.138 µg/mL in a static condition. The cell killing efficiency of PTX-GONs was increased in the highest shear stress of 50 dynes/cm2 in the static condition, and other levels of shear stress in dynamic conditions.
