Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of biomedical and nanomaterials, and particularly relates to an immune-activated anti-tumor biomimetic nanomaterial, a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Glioma is the most common intracranial primary malignant tumor, accounting for about 80% of all brain malignancies, and is the main cause of death from primary brain tumors. Among them, glioblastoma (GBM) is the highest degree of malignancy. Therefore, it is urgent to develop an efficient glioma treatment strategy.

[0003] Immunotherapy has become a powerful glioma treatment strategy, which can kill tumors through the host immune system. Chemotherapeutic drugs such as paclitaxel, oxaliplatin, doxorubicin and mitoxantrone can induce immunogenic cell death and release calreticulin (CRT), adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1). These released molecules overactivate dendritic cells and recruit cytotoxic T lymphocytes to enhance anti-tumor immunity. However, the function of T cells will be inhibited by the immunosuppressive microenvironment mediated by the overexpression of IDO-1 in tumor tissue. Therefore, the co-delivery of ICD (immunogenic cell death) inducers and IDO-1 inhibitors can inhibit tumor growth by simultaneously enhancing immunity and intervening in the immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment.

[0004] Paclitaxel is a first-line chemotherapeutic drug with strong anti-tumor effect. However, the water solubility and blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability of paclitaxel limit its application in glioma treatment, and need to be modified to enhance its BBB permeability and therapeutic effect. Carbon dot modification provides a reliable solution. Carbon dots (CDs) are a new type of carbon-based nanomaterials, which have the advantages of low toxicity, strong penetration ability, easy modification, stable physical and chemical properties, and show great application prospects in the fields of treatment and drug delivery. Although some current studies have confirmed the BBB permeability of carbon dots, cell membrane-coated biomimetic nanotechnology can still prolong the circulation time of materials in the body and improve disease-related targeting. Cancer cell membrane-coated nanoparticles can utilize the adhesion molecules and specific antigens on the surface of cell membranes to assist tumor targeting through homophilic adhesion. Therefore, the combination of carbon dots and cell membrane coating can improve their targeting ability for glioma, thereby ensuring the induction of anti-tumor effects by carbon dots at the tumor site.

[0005] There is currently a way of co-delivering paclitaxel and Indoximod to the tumor site by self-assembly of modified PEG polymers. The carrier is composed of polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a hydrophilic fragment, an enzyme-cleavable Indoximod ester and an active oxygen-sensitive peroxalate ester coupling as a hydrophobic module. The copolymer can self-assemble with paclitaxel into prodrug-based nanoparticles. When the nanoparticles circulate to the tumor site, intracellular active oxygen triggers the release of paclitaxel to induce ICD and subsequently enhance the immune response. In addition, in the presence of esterase, Indoximod is removed from the polymer carrier and effectively interferes with the IDO-1-mediated immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment.

[0006] The current therapeutic effect of paclitaxel on glioma is limited by the BBB, and the paclitaxel therapeutic agent for glioma needs to be based on nanoreconstruction. For the above-mentioned nanomedicine prepared by assembling the copolymer with paclitaxel, it is developed for breast cancer treatment and it relies on the passive targeting of nanoparticles to the tumor site; and the synthesis steps of the PEG-based prodrug copolymer are relatively complicated. Therefore, its potential for glioma treatment is small.

[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the prior art to provide a more reliable solution. SUMMARY

[0024] Example 1 An immune-activated anti-tumor biomimetic nanomaterial, the preparation method thereof comprises the following steps: S1, preparing carbon dots: 30 mg of paclitaxel was dispersed in 5 mL of ethanol, then 25 mL of deionized water and 30 μL of ethylenediamine dihydrate were added, and ultrasonic mixing was performed; the obtained solution was transferred to a polytetrafluoroethylene-lined autoclave, then sealed in a stainless steel reaction kettle, and reacted at 150 ℃ for 8 h, cooled to room temperature, centrifuged and filtered, and the obtained clear brown filtrate was freeze-dried to obtain carbon dots, denoted as PCDs; S2, assembling carbon dots with Indoximod to prepare carbon dot-inhibitor complex: An equal amount of PCDs and IDO-1 inhibitor Indoximod were dissolved in PBS solution, the final concentration of carbon dots was 1 mg / mL, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 hours in the dark. The obtained mixture was dialyzed in deionized water for 12 hours by using a 500 Da dialysis bag to remove the un-assembled Indoximod, and the dialysate in the dialysis bag was freeze-dried to obtain the carbon dot-inhibitor complex, denoted as P-In; S3, coating cell membrane on the carbon dot-inhibitor complex by co-extrusion method: S3-1, providing cell membrane fragments: GL261 cells were collected by cell scraper and washed twice with pre-cooled PSB at 4 ℃, the collected cells were resuspended in membrane protein extraction reagent and ice-bathed for 20 minutes, and pulsed ultrasonic treatment was performed at 40 W power under ice-bath condition for 3 min, the pulse cycle was 6 seconds, and the ultrasonic treatment time was 3 seconds and the intermittent time was 3 seconds; the mixture obtained by ultrasonic treatment was centrifuged at 4 ℃ and 4000 rpm for 10 minutes, the supernatant was collected, and the precipitate was resuspended in deionized water and freeze-dried to obtain cell membrane fragments; The membrane protein extraction reagent is specifically cell membrane protein extraction reagent A (Biyun Tian, P0033), and 1% benzylsulfonyl fluoride is added thereto, S3-2, the cell membrane fragments are co-extruded with a polycarbonate membrane with a pore diameter of 400 nm for 20 times to obtain the empty cell membrane; S3-3, 1 mg of the empty cell membrane is mixed with a carbon dot-inhibitor complex containing 1 mg of carbon dots to obtain a premix, and the premix is co-extruded with a polycarbonate membrane with a pore diameter of 200 nm for 20 times to obtain the immune-activated anti-tumor biomimetic nanomaterial, denoted as M@P-In.

[0025] Example 2 Transmission electron microscopy imaging of PCDs and M@P-In (1) Sample preparation: The PCDs or M@P-In solution prepared in Example 1 is added dropwise to a copper grid (sample grid) covered with a carbon film on the surface, and then a culture dish is placed on the sample grid, and the sample is naturally air-dried at room temperature. Carefully rinse the sample grid with deionized water, then rinse with ethanol, and finally dry the excess ethanol with filter paper.

[0026] (2) Sample imaging: Turn on the transmission electron microscope, and measure the sample by following the steps of sample loading, sample feeding, sample height adjustment, instrument adjustment, and sample imaging. Select an appropriate magnification to have a large number of nanoparticles in the field of view, and image the carbon dot sample in different fields of view. Figure 1 The results show that the average particle size of PCDs (A and B in Figure 1 is 1.67 nm, which is conducive to the delivery, bioavailability and BBB penetration of carbon dots in vivo. The cell membrane-coated nanocomposite constructed by the liposome extruder is spherical in structure, and the black particles inside the structure indicate the successful packaging of P-In (C and D in Figure 1 ). In contrast, the average particle size of P-In (4.96±1.12 nm) is larger than that of PCDs, indicating the successful loading of Indoximod to produce a new nanocomposite.

[0027] Example 3 Application potential of PCDs in biological imaging The PCDs solution can emit bright blue-green fluorescence under ultraviolet lamp irradiation (A in Figure 2 ). The fluorescence properties of PCDs were analyzed by a fluorescence spectrometer. The results show that the maximum excitation wavelength of the carbon dots is 415 nm, and the maximum emission wavelength is 492 nm, which has application potential for live cell imaging (A in Figure 2 ). Under irradiation at different excitation wavelengths, the emission intensity changes significantly, but the emission wavelength does not shift significantly, indicating that the emission wavelength of the carbon dots is non-excitation dependent (B in Figure 2 ).

[0028] Example 4 BBB penetration ability of PCDs and M@P-In The BBB penetration rate of PCDs and M@P-In was tested by Transwell and using the photoluminescence properties of PCDs. The cultured bEnd.3 cells were seeded into the upper layer of the Transwell insert at 2 x 105cells per well. When the cells grew into a continuous dense layer on the membrane, PCDs and M@P-In were added to the top chamber. After 12 hours of incubation, the culture medium in the bottom chamber was collected and the fluorescence intensity was measured by a microplate reader. The permeability of the BBB model was determined by quantifying the relative fluorescence intensity of PCDs and M@P-In penetrating into the bottom chamber. The test results are shown in 5 The upper layer of the Transwell insert was seeded with 2 x 105cells per well. When the cells grew into a continuous dense layer on the membrane, PCDs and M@P-In were added to the top chamber. After 12 hours of incubation, the culture medium in the bottom chamber was collected and the fluorescence intensity was measured by a microplate reader. The permeability of the BBB model was determined by quantifying the relative fluorescence intensity of PCDs and M@P-In penetrating into the bottom chamber. The test results are shown in Figure 3 It can also be seen that the coating of the cell membrane improves the BBB permeability of PCDs.

[0029] Example 5 Anti-tumor activity of PCDs and M@P-In (1) The glioma cells cultured in T25 were digested, and 5000 cells were resuspended in 100 μL of culture medium and seeded into a 96-well cell culture plate, and incubated in a 37°C incubator overnight. The cell culture medium was discarded and replaced with culture medium containing 50 μg / mL Indoximod, PCDs or M@P-In, respectively, with 3 replicate wells for each group, and incubated for another 48 hours. After the incubation, the cell culture medium in each well was replaced with culture medium containing 10 μL of WST-1, and incubated at 37°C for 1 hour. The absorbance at 450 nm of each well was measured, and blank wells (without cells, with culture medium and WST-1 solution) and control wells (with cells, without drugs, with culture medium and WST-1 solution) were also set. The cell activity of tumor cells after treatment with carbon dots was calculated using the following formula: Cell activity = [(OD experimental group - OD blank well) / (OD control group - OD blank well)] x 100% The inhibition of different preparations on the brain glioma cell line GL261 is shown in Figure 4 It can be seen that M@P-In has the relatively optimal inhibitory effect.

[0030] (2) GL261 cells were seeded in 6-well plates and incubated overnight at 37 °C after adding culture medium. The culture medium was replaced with culture medium containing 50 ug / mL different formulations or fresh regular cell culture medium and continued to culture for 24 hours. Then replaced with complete culture medium without drug and continued to culture for 14 days. After the end of culture, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 minutes at room temperature. After washing with PBS for 3 times, stained with 1% crystal violet for 10 minutes, finally washed with PBS to remove excess crystal violet dye, and photographed to record the number of clones generated. From the test results, it can be seen that the control group and Indoximod treated cells formed 138.3 ± 2.35 and 135.3 ± 6.34 clones, respectively, while PCDs and M@P-In exposure caused the number to drop to 48 ± 4.97 and 30.67 ± 2.05, indicating the significant anti-tumor proliferation ability of PCDs and the enhanced anti-proliferative activity of M@P-In.

[0031] (3) GL261 cells were seeded in the upper layer of transwell inserts in 24-well plates at a density of 10000 per well and added with 50 ug / mL different formulations; 600 μL complete culture medium was added to the lower layer of the insert. After 48 hours, the transwell was removed, the cells in the upper layer of the transwell insert were scraped off with a cotton swab, and the cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 minutes at room temperature. After washing with PBS for 3 times, stained with 1% crystal violet for 10 minutes, finally washed with PBS to remove excess crystal violet dye, observed the cell migration under an inverted microscope, counted the number of purple cells in each field, and calculated the effect of carbon dots on cell migration and invasion (Figs. 5A and 5B). Figure 6 From the test results, it can be seen that PCDs and M@P-In both significantly inhibited the migration and invasion ability of tumor cells.

[0032] Example 6 Performance test of PCDs and M@P-In in activating anti-tumor immunity by inducing ICD (1) 5 x 10 4 GL261 cells were seeded in 24-well plates and incubated with different formulations for 48 hours. For CRT detection, GL261 cells were treated with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.1% Triton x-100, then stained with CRT antibody overnight at 4 °C. After incubation with a fluorescently labeled secondary antibody, cell images were acquired using a confocal microscope. Meanwhile, the supernatant was collected to determine the ATP content in the supernatant using an ATP detection kit. As Figure 7As shown, PCDs and M@P-In treated cells exposed more CRT signals; in addition, the ATP content in PCDs and M@P-In group culture supernatant was significantly higher than that of control group and Indoximod group. These results showed that PCDs and M@P-In induced ICD of tumor cells.

[0033] (2) To detect the maturation of DCs in vitro, in this embodiment, the marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) were isolated from the femur and tibia of mice and cultured in 1640 medium (containing 10% FBS, 20 ng / mL GM-CSF, 10 ng / mL IL-4) for 7 days to obtain immature DCs. Then these DCs were co-cultured with GL261 cells pretreated with different agents for 24 hours, and then the proportion of mature DCs (CD80 + , CD86 + ) cells was analyzed by FCM. As shown in Figure 8 , compared with the control group and Indoximod treatment group, PCDs and M@P-In treated cells induced a higher proportion of DCs maturation.

[0034] (3) The inhibitory effect of M@P-In on IDO-1 was tested by colorimetry. 5x10 4 GL261 cells were inoculated in a 24-well plate and cultured with complete medium containing 100 ng / mL IFN-γ and 100 μM L-tryptophan. When the confluence reached 80%, the cells were incubated with medium containing PCDs, Indoximod and M@P-In for 72 h. 1 mL of supernatant was mixed with 100 μL of 30% trichloroacetic acid and incubated in a 50 ℃ oven for 30 min. The supernatant was centrifuged at 10000xg for 10 min to obtain the supernatant, and the supernatant was mixed with an equal volume of Ehrlich reagent and reacted at room temperature for 30 min, and the absorbance of the sample at 492 nm was measured by a microplate reader. The measured absorbance value was brought into the standard curve to calculate the inhibition rate. The inhibition of IDO-1 is shown in Figure 9 , from the test results, it can be seen that Indoximod significantly reduces the level of kynurenine in the supernatant of cell culture medium, and PCDs also reduce the production of kynurenine, which may be the result of inhibiting cell proliferation. M@P-In combines both mechanisms, showing the lowest kynurenine content.

[0035] Example 7 In vivo anti-tumor effect of PCDs and M@P-In 6-8 week old male C57BL / 6J mice were selected for the experiment, and were raised in a SPF environment, maintaining a 12 h day-night cycle. After a week of adaptation, 1.5x10 5A GL261-Luci cell was suspended in 3 μΐ PBS solution and injected into the striatum of each mouse (coordinates: 0.8 mm anterior, 2.0 mm lateral, 3.5 mm ventral) by stereotactic technique. Two weeks after injection, bioluminescence imaging was detected using IVIS Lumina III live imaging system. The successfully modeled mice were randomly divided into four groups, and then PCDs, Indoximod, M@P-In or normal saline (10 mg / kg) were injected through the tail vein every two days for 14 days. Live imaging was performed at specific time points to monitor tumor growth. The tumor growth of mice in different groups is shown in FIG. 6B. Figure 10 As can be seen from the test results, compared with the PBS control group and the Indoximod group, both PCDs and M@P-In significantly inhibited tumor growth.
