Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to biomaterials and applications thereof, and in particular to an osteoporosis treatment delivery system based on osteoclast precursor cell-targeted circRNA knockdown. Background Art
[0002] Osteoporosis is a common chronic bone disease in clinical practice. Its low bone mass and severe destruction of bone microstructure often increase the brittleness and fragility of bones. As unique bone-absorbing cells, mature multinucleated osteoclasts secrete a large amount of enzymes and acids to perform bone absorption functions due to their high transcriptional activity. However, excessive multinucleation of osteoclasts can lead to an imbalance in bone homeostasis, which is the main factor causing osteoporosis. Currently, the first-line treatment for osteolytic diseases, such as bisphosphonates, indiscriminately inhibits the osteoclast lineage, leading to apoptosis of all bone-absorbing cells, thereby destroying the necessary bone turnover. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a therapeutic system to selectively target osteoclast precursor cells at disease-related specific stages in the osteoclast lineage.
[0003] Circular RNA (circRNA) is a covalently closed loop structure that can be reverse-spliced by pre-mRNA and expressed during cell development and differentiation. Given that circRNAs are resistant to RNase R, they are more stable in cells and exosomes than corresponding linear transcripts. CircRNAs can be effective endogenous regulators in miRNA-mediated RNA interference (RNAi). Therefore, regulating circRNAs can effectively intervene in the differentiation process of cells. However, the development of nucleic acid drugs targeting circRNAs has become a difficult problem.
[0004] Cell membrane engineering has been widely used in various fields, ranging from drug delivery and imaging to photoactivated therapy. Biomimetic nanoparticles camouflaged with cell membranes impart cell-like functions, which prolongs the circulation of nanoparticles in the blood and allows them to escape clearance by the immune system. In addition, cancer cell membrane-coated nanoparticles can specifically target homologous cells because they inherit the necessary fusion proteins and adhesion molecules from cells. Therefore, homotypic targeted delivery of these cell membrane materials is an available strategy for future disease treatment.
[0005] However, although cell membrane engineering technology has been used in various fields, selective targeted delivery of cells at specific stages in the process of cell multinucleation has not yet been achieved. Osteoclast precursor cells are derived from macrophages induced by RANKL for 3 days and have specific proteins involved in osteoclast cycling, recruitment, cell-to-cell recognition and fusion. Therefore, fused cell membranes with specific stage markers contribute to the selective targeted delivery of osteoclast precursor cells.
[0006] Therefore, based on the above background, this patent discovered that circRNA and its human homologs specifically expressed by osteoclasts are prominently expressed during osteoclast multinucleation and osteoporosis. Among them, circBBS9 was selected as a verification object. However, how to achieve precise targeted delivery of circRNA at a specific time in vivo is a bottleneck problem that limits its application. In order to solve this shutdown problem, we innovatively took the lead in using osteoclast precursor cell membrane materials to carry siRNA. Osteoclast precursor cell membrane microvesicles can target osteoclast precursor cells. Among them, carrying siRNA circBBS9 The osteoclast precursor cell membrane microvesicles effectively inhibited the multinucleation and bone resorption ability of osteoclasts without affecting the differentiation of precursor osteoclasts, and increased the bone density of osteoporotic mice in in vivo experiments.
[0007] In summary, osteoclast precursor cell membrane microvesicles loaded with siRNA-circRNA can be used for clinical research on nucleic acid drugs for osteoporosis. Summary of the invention

[0085] like Fig. 9As shown, the osteoclast precursor cell membrane microvesicles prepared in this example were detected by cryo-TEM and laser particle size analyzer, indicating that the osteoclast precursor cell membrane microvesicles were lipid bilayers with spherical structures. The particle size of the osteoclast precursor cell membrane microvesicles was about 141.9 nm.
[0086] Experimental Example 1: Carrying siRNA circBBS9 Evaluation of the ability of osteoclast precursor cell membrane microvesicles to inhibit osteoclast multinucleation and bone resorption.
[0087] As in Example 1, the osteoclast precursor cell membrane (1 mg / mL) was mixed with siRNA circBBS9 40μg / mL, mixed in equal volumes, sonicated for 5 minutes, and then squeezed through 400nm and 200nm polycarbonate filters 5-10 times. siRNA NC The macrophage membrane group was used as the control group. circBBS9 The osteoclast precursor cell membrane microvesicles were co-cultured with osteoclast precursor cells for 4 hours. After 24 hours, the number of mature osteoclasts in each group was detected by TRAP staining. Fig.10 As shown, loaded with siRNA circBBS9 The osteoclast precursor cell membrane microvesicles significantly inhibited the formation of multinuclear osteoclasts. The formation of osteoclasts was detected by RT-qPCR. Fig.11 As shown, loaded with siRNA circBBS9 The osteoclast precursor cell membrane microvesicles significantly reduced the expression of osteoclast maturation-related genes. The bone resorption environment was simulated in vitro using bone resorption slices to evaluate the osteoclast bone resorption function. Fig.12 As shown, loaded with siRNA circBBS9 The osteoclast precursor cell membrane microvesicles significantly inhibited the bone resorption ability of osteoclasts.
[0088] Experimental Example 2: Evaluation of targeting ability of osteoclast precursor cell membrane microvesicles in vivo and in vitro
[0089] In vitro targeting ability test of osteoclast precursor cell membrane microvesicles: 1 mg / mL of osteoclast precursor cell membrane obtained in Example 1 was mixed with siRNA cy5 The mixture was mixed with 40 μg / mL of equal volume, sonicated for 5 minutes, and then squeezed through 400 nm and 200 nm polycarbonate filters 5-10 times. It was incubated with macrophages, osteoclast precursor cells, and osteoclasts for 12 hours. The intracellular fluorescence intensity was analyzed using confocal microscopy and flow cytometry. The results are shown in Fig.13 As shown, osteoclast precursor cell membrane microvesicles loaded with siRNA can selectively enter osteoclast precursor cells but not macrophages or osteoclasts.
[0090] Establishment of osteoporosis animal model in mice: C57BL / 6J mice (female, 11 weeks) were anesthetized with 4% chloral hydrate, and bilateral ovariectomy was performed after skin disinfection to induce osteoporosis. After 8 weeks, the decrease of bone mass index detected by microCT indicated that the model was successfully established.
[0091] Detection of in vivo targeting ability of osteoclast precursor cell membrane microvesicles: 1 mg / mL of osteoclast precursor cell membrane obtained in Example 1 was mixed with 2.5 mg / mL of indocyanine green (ICG) in equal volumes, ultrasonically treated for 5 minutes, and then squeezed through 400nm and 200nm polycarbonate filter membranes 5-10 times in sequence. The simple ICG and macrophage membrane groups served as the control groups. After the osteoporosis mouse model was successfully established, the ICG wrapped in the osteoclast precursor cell membrane was injected into the tail vein. After 6 hours, 1 day, and 3 days, the fluorescence intensity of the heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, lower limbs and spine was detected using a small animal in vivo imaging device, using an excitation wavelength of 710nm and an emission wavelength of 785nm. The results are as follows: Fig.14 As shown, at each time period, the fluorescence intensity of both lower limbs and spine of mice in the osteoclast precursor cell membrane group was significantly higher than that in the control group, indicating that osteoclast precursor cell membrane microvesicles have an in vivo targeting effect.
[0092] To further verify the in vivo targeting ability, osteoclast precursor cell membrane microvesicles were labeled with DiO using the above method, and DiO-labeled osteoclast precursor cell membrane microvesicles were injected into the tail vein of osteoporosis mouse model. Femoral tissue was obtained 1 day later, fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, 14% EDTA, 37°C, decalcified for 12 hours and embedded in paraffin. After slicing, the sections were incubated with DC-STAMP (labeled osteoclast precursor cells) primary antibody at 4°C overnight, washed 4 times with PBST, 5 minutes each time, then stained with Alexa Fluor 594 secondary antibody, washed 4 times with PBST, 5 minutes each time, and sealed with anti-fluorescence quencher containing DAPI, and the results were photographed with laser confocal microscope. Fig.15 As shown, green spots (DiO) overlap with red spots (DC-STAMP) on the bone surface and in the bone marrow, suggesting osteoclast precursor cell targeting of osteoclast precursor cell membrane microvesicles.
[0093] Experimental Example 3: Carrying siRNA circBBS9 Evaluation of the effect of osteoclast precursor cell membrane microvesicles in the treatment of osteoporosis
[0094] Establishment of osteoporosis animal model in mice: C57BL / 6J mice (female, 11 weeks) were anesthetized with 4% chloral hydrate, and bilateral ovariectomy was performed after skin disinfection to induce osteoporosis. After 8 weeks, the decrease of bone mass index detected by microCT indicated that the model was successfully established.
[0095] As in Example 1, the osteoclast precursor cell membrane (1 mg / mL) was mixed with siRNA circBBS940μg / mL, mixed in equal volumes, sonicated for 5 minutes, and then squeezed through 400nm and 200nm polycarbonate filters 5-10 times. siRNA NC The macrophage membrane group was used as the control group. One week after osteoporosis mice were established, the mice were injected with the tail vein once every 3 days for a total of 6 times. MicroCT was used to analyze the histological parameters of the femoral bone of mice 4 weeks after the administration. Fig.16 siRNA circBBS9 The osteoclast precursor cell membrane microvesicles significantly improved the trabecular volume ratio (BV / TV), the number of trabeculae (TB.N), the trabecular thickness (Tb.Th) and the space between trabeculae (Tb.Sp). Fig.17 As shown, TRAP staining and HE staining showed that the siRNA circBBS9 The osteoclast precursor cell membrane microvesicles significantly inhibited the size and number of osteoclasts.
[0096] As can be seen from the above examples, the siRNA provided by the present invention circBBS9 The preparation method of osteoclast precursor cell membrane microvesicle material has the characteristics of simple operation and low cost.
