Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biomedical technology, specifically relating to a targeted biomimetic nanomedicine loaded with tanshinone IIA and rosuvastatin, its preparation method and application. Background Technology
[0002] Atherosclerosis, abbreviated as AS, includes aortic atherosclerosis, carotid atherosclerosis, and cerebral atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a typical chronic inflammatory vascular disease and a major pathological basis for common cardiovascular diseases. It has a high incidence and mortality rate, and is the leading cause of death worldwide. Studies have shown that homocysteine (Hcy) is a new independent risk factor for AS, closely related to its occurrence and development. It has been confirmed that Hcy can activate macrophages and cause macrophage inflammation. In the early stages of AS, damage to some endothelial cells leads to the diffusion of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and Hcy from the blood to the subendothelial layer. Stimulated endothelial cells secrete chemokines, continuously recruiting monocytes to migrate to the subendothelial layer and differentiate into macrophages. Macrophages, under the influence of oxidized LDL and Hcy, differentiate into pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages and secrete inflammatory factors such as IL-1β, inducing mesenchymal transition in endothelial cells, further promoting endothelial damage, forming a vicious cycle. On the other hand, inflammatory macrophages take up oxidized low-density lipoprotein, forming foam cells, which eventually die and rupture, releasing deposited lipids. As asthenospermia (As) progresses, lipids accumulate beneath endothelial cells, eventually forming plaques. Inhibiting endothelial damage and lipid deposition are considered two fundamental strategies for the prevention and treatment of Asthenospermia.
[0003] Currently, rosuvastatin, a first-line clinical treatment for atherosclerosis (AS), has a significant lipid-lowering effect, but its overall therapeutic efficacy is poor. This is because the drug has a short residence time in the body, lacks specific targeting, has a single therapeutic effect, and its therapeutic efficacy is limited. Long-term high-dose use can cause significant toxic side effects. Tanshinone IIA, or TIIA, has the effect of repairing vascular endothelium and is mainly used for the treatment of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Studies have shown that TIIA inhibits glycolysis and lactate production, which may slow down end-mode endothelial damage, thereby protecting against endothelial injury. However, this drug has poor water solubility and low bioavailability, limiting its clinical application. In conclusion, there is an urgent need to develop novel drug formulations for atherosclerosis.

[0038] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present application and implement the same, the present application will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments, but the embodiments are not intended to limit the present application. In the description of the present application, if not specifically stated, the reagents used are commercially available, and the methods used are conventional techniques in the art.
[0039] The inventive concept of the present application is as follows: The clinical first-line drug for As, rosuvastatin, has obvious lipid-lowering effect, but the overall treatment effect is poor. The reason is that the drug has short residence time in the body, lacks targeting, has single treatment effect, the treatment effect is limited, and long-term high-dose use will cause obvious toxic side effects; Danshensu II A has the effect of repairing vascular endothelium, and is mainly used for the treatment of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. Research shows that TIIA inhibits glycolysis and lactic acid production, and may have the effect of slowing down End MT, thereby protecting endothelial damage. However, the drug has poor water solubility, low bioavailability, and limited clinical application. In summary, the two drugs are used in combination, which reduces the dosage of single drug, targets the treatment of endothelial damage and vascular wall lipid deposition, and is expected to produce good results.
[0040] In recent years, with the development of nanotechnology, nanomedicine system has shown obvious advantages in disease treatment. PLGA nanoparticles have biodegradability and controllable release characteristics, and can improve the stability and biocompatibility of drugs in drug delivery. Nanoparticles disguised as biomimetic macrophages have immune escape function and chemotactic properties, further prolonging the half-life of the drug and effectively improving the targeting of the drug. In the process of As, activated macrophages and endothelial cells in the plaque site highly express CD44 molecules. Using the property that hyaluronic acid specifically binds to CD44 molecules, hyaluronic acid is modified on the outermost layer of the nanoparticle, which can improve the targeting of the nanoparticle and enhance the bioavailability of the drug to target cells, providing a new scheme with potential application prospect for the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis. The PLGA used in the application has a CAS number of 34346-01-5.

[0078] Figure 10 Western blot analysis results of markers related to endothelial cell mesenchymal transition under different drug interventions. During the development of atherosclerosis, when macrophages are stimulated by substances such as homocysteine (Hcy), they secrete large amounts of the inflammatory factor IL-1β, which stimulates endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in lesion sites, causing endothelial cell damage. This promotes lipid entry into plaque sites, exacerbating lipid deposition in macrophages and creating a vicious cycle. VE-Cadherin and CD31 are markers of endothelial cells, while ICAM-1 and Vimentin are markers of mesenchymal cells. When mesenchymal transition is inhibited, the expression of endothelial markers increases, while the expression of mesenchymal markers decreases. Figure 10 The results showed that HAMP@TR NPs inhibited endothelial-mesenchymal transition.
[0079] 2. HAMP@TR NPs were synthesized using the method described in Example 1 for subsequent experiments.
[0080] 2.1 HAMP@TR NPs biomimetic nanoparticle formulations for the treatment of atherosclerosis.
[0081] 8-week-old male ApoE - / -The mice were randomly divided into a Model group, a TIIA group, an RSV group, a TR group and a HAMP@TR group, and C57BL / 6 mice of the same age were used as a Control group. The Control group was given a regular diet, and the rest of the groups were given a high-fat and high-protein HMD+HFD diet. After one month of the high-fat and high-protein diet, the mice were injected with drugs through the tail vein, once every three days, for two months of continuous administration. After the treatment, the aortas of the mice were stripped for sectioning and oil red O staining, and the serum of the mice was collected to detect the changes in homocysteine and low-density lipoprotein, so as to investigate the treatment effects of different treatment groups. The specific grouping is shown in Table 2.

[0083] Figure 11 Fig. 1 is a general staining picture of atherosclerosis of the aorta after treatment of different drug groups, wherein A is the general staining picture of atherosclerosis of the aorta after treatment of different drug groups. As shown in the figure, the white in the upper circle represents a plaque, and the red below represents lipid droplets on the plaque. It was observed that, in the Model group, atherosclerotic plaques were distributed throughout the aorta, especially enriched at the root of the aorta, the thoracic aorta and the abdominal aorta branch. Compared with the Model group, the aortic plaque and lipid droplets of the mice after HAMP@TR treatment were significantly reduced.
