[0054] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0055] Example 1
[0056] The specific process of preparing ZCT@CM is as follows:
[0057] Weigh 0.03435g Zn(NO 3 ) 2 6H 2 O was dissolved in 200 μL methanol to obtain solution A;
[0058] Weigh 0.66501 g of 2-methylimidazole, 0.00045 g of TCPP (tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine), and 0.00955 g of CCM (curcumin) in 2.2 mL of methanol, mix by ultrasonic mixing, and dissolve to obtain solution B;
[0059] Mix solution A and solution B, protect from light, and stir at room temperature for 12 hours at 20°C;
[0060] After the reaction, centrifuge (10000rpm), wash the solid with methanol and ultrapure water 2-3 times respectively until the supernatant becomes colorless and has no fluorescence in the UV dark box (λ ex =365nm), the obtained solid was ZCT, which was dried under vacuum at 85°C overnight.
[0061] ZCT was dispersed in water to prepare a suspension (100 μg / mL, 170 μL) and then mixed with mouse breast cancer cell membranes (1×10 7 The purified ZCT@CM was collected by centrifugation at 4°C (10,000 rpm, 30 min) and washed three times with ultrapure water.
[0062] The purified ZCT@CM was redispersed in PBS suspension to obtain ZCT@CM suspension for use in subsequent experiments.
[0063] The morphology images of ZCT and ZCT@CM obtained in this embodiment are shown in Figure 2. Figure 1A and 1B As shown, Figure 1A The morphology of ZCT under scanning electron microscope. Figure 1B The morphology of ZCT@CM under transmission electron microscopy. It can be seen that the size of ZCT is about 100nm, and the size of ZCT@CM is slightly larger than 100nm.
[0064] Example 2
[0065] The synthesis optimization of ZCT is as follows:
[0066] Take Zn(NO 3 ) 2 6H 2 O is an inorganic precursor, and 2-methylimidazole is used as an organic ligand. Different amounts of two organic molecules TCPP and CCM are dissolved in methanol and stirred at room temperature to synthesize ZCTx (Table 1), where x is the mass of TCPP (mg).
[0067] Table 1 Synthesis feed of ZCT with different organic molecule CCM and TCPP contents
[0068]
[0069]
[0070] In order to optimize the fluorescence properties of ZCT and make it show stronger fluorescence dual emission properties, the amount of TCPP in ZCT was investigated. TCPP was prepared according to the method in Example 1, keeping the other synthetic raw materials the same, and changing the amount of TCPP. The results are as follows Figure 2A As shown in the figure, when the content of TCPP increases (0.4-0.6 mg), the fluorescence double emission of ZCT increases simultaneously, and when the amount of TCPP increases further, the fluorescence double emission of ZCT decreases simultaneously. When the amount of TCPP increases to 3.6 mg and above, the fluorescence emission of the TCPP part in ZCT is slightly enhanced, while the fluorescence emission peak of CCM is not significant and almost unchanged.
[0071] Therefore, the actual doping ratio of TCPP in the composite nanomaterials was further investigated. Figure 2B-2D As shown, Figure 2BThe ultraviolet absorption spectra (450nm-750nm) of TCPP in ZCT with concentrations of 1.25, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, and 40 mg / L are shown in the embodiments of the present invention. Figure 2C is the standard curve between the concentration and absorbance of TCPP at 550nm. Figure 2D The UV absorption spectra of ZCT samples with different proportions are shown in Table 2. The TCPP absorption at 550nm is used to calculate the doping amount of TCPP in samples with different proportions through the standard curve method. The calculation results are shown in Table 2:
[0072] Table 2 Doping percentage of TCPP in samples with different proportions
[0073] sample Doping amount of TCPP (%) ZCT-0.4 2.84±0.3 ZCT-0.6 2.87±0.1 ZCT-0.9 2.29±0.2 ZCT-1.8 2.22±0.4 ZCT-3.6 1.72±0.2
[0074] It can be seen that the doping ratio of TCPP in ZCT-0.6 is the highest, and further increasing the TCPP feed ratio will lead to a decrease in the doping ratio. Based on the above experiments, ZCT-0.6 was finally selected as the sample for subsequent experiments.
[0075] Example 3
[0076] ONOO in solution - Sensor detection:
[0077] In aqueous media, ZCT@CM suspensions were used to analyze different analytes (ClO - , CO 3 2- , Cys, DTT, GSH, H 2 O 2 , HCO 3 - , HPO 4 2- , S 2- , SCN - , SO 4 2- ,BuOO - , ·OH,ONOO - , 1 O 2 ) for testing. The specific steps are as follows:
[0078] A ZCT@CM suspension (PBS, 10 mmol / L, pH = 7.4) with a concentration of 100 μg / mL was prepared. - , CO 3 2- , Cys, DTT, GSH, H 2 O 2 , HCO 3- , HPO 4 2- , S 2- , SCN - , SO 4 2- ,BuOO - , ·OH,ONOO - , 1 O 2 ) was added with 2 mL of the suspension and reacted at room temperature for 5 min before fluorescence detection. 400 nm was used as the excitation wavelength and the fluorescence emission in the range of 420 nm to 750 nm was recorded. The fluorescence emission intensity at 550 nm and 627 nm was used as the basis for quantitative analysis.
[0079] The results are as follows Figure 3A As shown in the figure, it can be seen that ZCT@CM has a significant effect on ONOO - Has a specific fluorescence enhancement response.
[0080] Further increase in ONOO - The fluorescence intensity of ZCT@CM was observed at different concentrations. Figure 3B As shown, it can be seen that ONOO - The concentration of ONOO - The fluorescence dual emission of ZCT@CM increases continuously; with the increase of ONOO - The concentration of ONOO - The fluorescence emission intensity of TCPP continues to increase, while that of CCM continues to decrease. 545nm / I 610nm with ONOO - The concentration of 1-30 μmol / L and 30-120 μmol / L showed a linear relationship, respectively. Figure 3C As shown, the linear equations are:
[0081] I 545nm / I 610nm =0.08[ONOO - ]+0.47 and I 545nm / I 610nm =0.03[ONOO - ]+0.64, detection limit
[0082] is 0.15μmol / L. It can be seen that in ONOO - In a certain concentration range, the fluorescence emission of ZCT@CM increases with the concentration of ONOO -The concentration changes linearly.
[0083] Example 4
[0084] Test of the photodynamic effect of ZCT@CM:
[0085] In order to detect the ROS generation performance of ZCT@CM and the control groups (CCM, TCPP, ZC@CM and ZT@CM), 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran (DPBF) was used as a common reactive oxygen species scavenger, and the whole process was monitored by UV-visible spectroscopy. ZCT@CM (50 μg / mL) and DPBF (0.5 mmol / L) were dispersed in DMF, and then a 660 nm laser was used at 0.2 W / cm 2 The power intensity is irradiated. The absorbance of DPBF at 415nm is recorded every 40s, which will cause the ultraviolet absorption of DPBF at 415nm to continue to decrease ( Figure 4A ).
[0086] The same experiment was performed with free DPBF and the mixed solution (or suspension) in the dark as the blank control group. The same method (660nm, 0.2W / cm 2 ) was used to detect the ROS generation ability of small molecules CCM and TCPP. A 50μg / mL small molecule solution was mixed with DPBF (0.5mmol / L), and the absorption of DPBF at 415nm was detected every 40s. Laser irradiation of small molecules (TCPP and CCM) and materials will cause the ultraviolet absorption of DPBF at 415nm to continue to decrease. However, for the control group (DPBF+660nm, CCM, TCPP, ZC@CM, ZT@CM and ZCT@CM in the dark), the changes in the spectrum are almost negligible. The absorbance ratio at 415nm (maximum absorbance value A 0 The curve of the ratio of the real-time absorbance value A to the laser irradiation time (t) was fitted with an exponential function: A 0 / A=e kt , and obtain pseudo-first-order 1 O 2 Generate Behavior( Figure 4B ), calculate the k value (i.e., the slope in the figure) to compare the generation efficiency of small molecules and composite nanomaterials, 1 O 2 The generation efficiency is ranked as follows: TCPP>ZC@CM>ZCT@CM>CCM>ZT@CM.
[0087] 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) was used as a fluorescent probe to detect ROS (reactive oxygen species) in cells. Figure 4C Shown are control group, ZC group, ZT group, ZCT group and ZCT@CM group. Scale bar: 50 μm.
[0088] Example 5
[0089] ZCT@CM for ONOO - In vivo imaging:
[0090] ZCT@CM was used for solid tumor imaging. First, 4T1 cells were inoculated on the right lower back of BABL / c nude mice, and 100 μL of 100 μg / mL ZCT@CM suspension (obtained by diluting the ZCT@CM suspension in Example 1) was injected into tumor-bearing mice at different tumor implantation times (0, 4, 8, and 12 days), and near-infrared fluorescence imaging was performed using a small animal imager.
[0091] The results are as follows Figure 5 As shown, A shows that 100 μL of 100 μg / mL ZCT@CM suspension was injected into the tumor of tumor-bearing mice (0, 4, 8, 12 days). After 30 minutes, near-infrared fluorescence in vivo imaging was performed under a 660nm laser. B shows the stained cells of the in vitro tumors in the mice after the tumor-bearing mice were killed on days 0, 4, 8, and 12. The scale in the figure is: 50 μm. The experimental results show that the fluorescence signal in the tumor-bearing mice increases with the number of days of tumor growth, which confirms that ONOO - The content of ONOO in the body does increase with the growth of tumors. - May serve as a potential tumor biomarker.
[0092] Example 6
[0093] Application of ZCT@CM in tumor treatment of 4T1 tumor-bearing mice:
[0094] The tumor-bearing mice were randomly divided into 5 groups: Control group (no treatment), Control+NIR-I group (660nm, 1.5W / cm 2 , 10min), ZCT group (intratumoral injection of ZCT at a dose of 10mg / kg), ZC-T+NIR-I group (intratumoral injection of ZCT at a dose of 10mg / kg, 3h later with 1.5W / cm 2 The ZCT@CM group (10 mg / kg ZCT@CM was injected intratumorally), and the ZCT@CM+NIR-I group (10 mg / kg ZCT@CM was injected intratumorally, and then 1.5 W / cm 2At different time points of treatment, the body weight and tumor volume of the mice were recorded.
[0095] The results are as follows Figures 6A-6D As shown, Fig. 6A These are photos of mice in each group at the end of treatment (day 16); Figure 6B These are representative in vitro images of tumors in each group of mice at the end of treatment; Figure 6C This is the relative tumor volume curve of 4T1 tumor-bearing mice in group mice within 16 days; Fig.6D is the tumor weight at the end of different treatments; Fig. 6E This is the tumor inhibition rate of tumor-bearing mice at the end of different treatments.
[0096] The experimental results showed that within 16 days, there was no significant change in body weight between the control group and the experimental group, indicating that ZCT@CM has good biological safety.
[0097] During the treatment process, the tumor growth of the Control group and different experimental groups was different. According to the photos of tumor-bearing mice after treatment with different treatment methods, it can be seen that the relative tumor volume and weight of the ZCT@CM+NIR-Ⅰ group were much smaller than those of other groups (Control group, Control+NIR-Ⅰ group, ZCT group, ZC-T+NIR-Ⅰ group, and ZCT@CM group). The mice in the ZCT@CM group were loaded with anticancer active CCM, and the surface was coated with 4T1 cell membrane. It can be seen that it has a significant inhibitory effect on tumor growth without near-infrared light. It is worth noting that the tumor volume and weight of the ZCT@CM+NIR-I group decreased the most, which is similar to the results obtained from the representative photos of mouse ex vivo tumors. In order to further evaluate the metabolism of ZCT@CM during the treatment process, the ex vivo organs of mice in the ZCT@CM+NIR-Ⅰ group at different time points were collected and fluorescent imaging was performed. The results are shown in Figure 2. Figures 7A-7C As shown, Fig. 7A These are in vitro fluorescence images of tumors, heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney at different time points after subcutaneous injection of ZCT@CM in each group of mice. Figure 7B is the change of relative fluorescence intensity of different organs over time. Figure 7C The distribution of Zn in different organs of mice in each group is shown in the figure. From the experimental results, it can be seen that about 1 hour after injection, the fluorescence signal began to appear in the tumor site, and the fluorescence intensity was the highest at about 3 hours. After 48 hours, the fluorescence signal in the tumor site was greatly weakened. In addition, only the liver and kidney had very weak fluorescence signals. This shows that after ZCT@CM treatment, it is well metabolized in mice.
[0098] From the above examples, it can be seen that the ZCT@CM proposed in the present invention has dual fluorescence emission, with maximum emission peaks at 545nm and 610nm, respectively, and the maximum wavelength emission has reached the near-infrared region of 650-1000nm, which can be used for ONOO - Near-infrared ratio fluorescence detection. However, existing similar materials have poor performance on ONOO - The detection is often based on a single fluorescence emission with a short wavelength of blue or green light, and is easily affected by biological background fluorescence.
[0099] In addition, the CCM carried by the ZCT@CM proposed in the present invention has anticancer activity, and the TCPP carried by the ZCT@CM has a photodynamic effect. After the ZCT@CM is degraded in the tumor microenvironment, it releases CCM and TCPP, which can achieve dual treatment of chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy.
[0100] The dual treatment of ZCT@CM can induce the immunogenic death of cancer cells. This is because ZCT@CM can stimulate tumor immune response under near-infrared light, and the components on the surface of tumor cells will change, causing the immunogenic death of cancer cells (such as Figures 8A-8E The most important thing is that calreticulin (CRT) on the surface of the endoplasmic reticulum of tumor cells migrates to the surface of the cell membrane ( Fig. 8A ), after ZCT@CM was illuminated with NIR-Ⅰ, the tumor cell surface showed the strongest fluorescence signal, which means the most CRT expression ( Figure 8B In addition, the high mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1) in the cell nucleus is released into the cytoplasm and outside the cell ( Fig. 8A ). When ZCT@CM was irradiated with NIR-Ⅰ, the signal of HMGB1 in the nucleus was reduced to the greatest extent, indicating that the release amount of HMGB1 was the greatest ( Figure 8C ). It can be seen that the immunogenic death caused by ZCT@CM under NIR-Ⅰ light is the highest. Mature T cells express CD4 and CD8 cells. After ZCT@CM is irradiated by laser, the expression of CD4 and CD8 cells is the highest, such as Fig. 8A and 8D The red fluorescence signal representing CD4 cells is the strongest in the control group and the experimental group. Fig. 8A and 8E The red fluorescence signal of CD8 cells represented in the middle was the strongest in the control group and the experimental group. The expression of CD4 and CD8 cells promoted the intratumoral infiltration of T cells.
