Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of immunotherapy, and specifically relates to a nano or micro cancer vaccine based on one or more cancer cells and / or tumor tissues and its modification and processing preparation technology, and especially to a cancer vaccine based on the whole cell components of cancer cells and / or tumor tissues of one or more cancers and its application in the prevention and treatment of cancer. Background Art
[0002] Immunity is a physiological function of the human body. In recent years, immune technology has developed rapidly, especially in the field of cancer immunotherapy. It has been found that the human immune system and various immune cells play a key role in inhibiting the occurrence and development of cancer. By regulating the balance of the body's immune system, it is expected to affect and control the occurrence, development and treatment of cancer. Cancer vaccines are one of the important methods for cancer immunotherapy and prevention. The basis for developing cancer vaccines is to select suitable cancer antigens to activate the human immune system to recognize abnormal mutated cancer cells, and cancer cells or cancer tumor tissues themselves are the best sources of cancer antigens. Scientists have used new technologies to analyze and identify cancer-specific or cancer-related antigenic peptides from tumor cells of cancer patients, but such methods are time-consuming, labor-intensive and costly. Moreover, the methods used are to extract and analyze the differences between cancer cells and normal cells from the water-soluble components of cancer cells and then find different polypeptides. Therefore, such methods and techniques can only find a limited number of antigenic polypeptides with good water solubility, which greatly limits the application of such methods. The inventors previously disclosed that the whole cell components of cancer cells or cancer tissues are used as the source of vaccines for the prevention and treatment of cancer. This is a promising method, but its application effect needs to be improved. Summary of the invention
[0003] In view of this, the object of the present invention is to provide a modification method to improve the efficacy of a micro or nano vaccine based on a whole cell component or a mixture thereof loaded with one or more cancer cells and / or tumor tissues in the prevention or treatment of cancer. The present invention uses a modification method such as solidification treatment and the addition of positively charged substances in the preparation process of the nano or micro vaccine to increase the antigen loading of the vaccine, and thus improve the prevention and treatment efficacy of the vaccine.
[0004] To achieve the purpose of the present invention, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0015] In the vaccine system for preventing or treating cancer based on one or more cancer cells and / or whole cell components of tumor tissue or a mixture thereof of the present invention, the nano and / or micro particles are nano-sized particles and / or micro-sized particles. The particle size of the nano vaccine and nano-sized particles is 1nm-1000nm, preferably 50nm-800nm, and more preferably 100nm-600nm; the particle size of the micro vaccine and micro-sized particles is 1μm-1000μm, preferably 1μm-100μm, more preferably 1μm-10μm, and more preferably 1μm-5μm; the shape of the nano and / or micro particles is any common shape, including but not limited to spherical, ellipsoidal, barrel-shaped, polygonal, rod-shaped, sheet-shaped, linear, worm-shaped, square, triangle, butterfly-shaped or disc-shaped; the surface of the nano and / or micro vaccine system can be electrically neutral, negatively charged or positively charged.
[0016] In the vaccine system for preventing or treating cancer based on one or more cancer cells and / or whole cell components of tumor tissue or a mixture thereof according to the present invention, the preparation material of nano- and / or micron-particles is an organic synthetic polymer material, a natural polymer material or an inorganic material. The organic synthetic polymer material is a biocompatible or degradable polymer material, including but not limited to PLGA, PLA, PGA, Poloxamer, PEG, PCL, PEI, PVA, PVP, PTMC, polyanhydride, PDON, PPDO, PMMA, polyamino acid, synthetic polypeptide, and synthetic lipid.

The inorganic material is a material without obvious biological toxicity, including but not limited to ferric oxide, ferric oxide, calcium carbonate, and calcium phosphate.
[0017] The vaccine system for preventing or treating cancer based on one or more whole cell components of cancer cells and / or tumor tissues or a mixture thereof of the present invention can deliver the loaded whole cell components to relevant immune cells, and activate and enhance the killing effect of the autoimmune system on cancer cells through the immunogenicity of the loaded components. Therefore, the present invention also provides the use of the vaccine system for preventing or treating cancer based on multiple whole cell components of cancer cells and / or tumor tissues in the preparation of vaccines for preventing and / or treating cancer.
[0018] The cancer vaccine system of the whole cell components or mixtures thereof described in the present invention can simultaneously use nanoparticles and / or microparticles that only load water-soluble components and nanoparticles and / or microparticles that only load water-insoluble components, use nanoparticles and / or microparticles that only load water-soluble components, use nanoparticles and / or microparticles that only load water-insoluble components, or use nanoparticles and / or microparticles that load both water-soluble components and water-insoluble components when preventing or treating diseases.
[0019] From the above technical scheme, it can be seen that the present invention provides a delivery system for delivering water-soluble components and / or water-insoluble components of cells using nano-sized or micron-sized particles, and its application in the preparation of vaccines for preventing and treating cancer. Because the whole cell components of the relevant cells or tissues are divided into two parts according to their solubility in pure water, a water-soluble part soluble in pure water and a water-insoluble part insoluble in pure water, and both the water-soluble part and the water-insoluble part are loaded in nanoparticles or micron particles, most of the mutated proteins or polypeptides produced by cancer in the cell components are loaded in nanoparticles or micron particles. The water-soluble part and the water-insoluble part in the cell components include the components of the entire cell; the water-soluble part and the water-insoluble part in the cell components can also be dissolved by an aqueous solution containing a solubilizing agent at the same time. Among them, the proteins, polypeptides and genes that are the same as normal cell components and have not mutated will not cause immune response because of the immune tolerance generated during the development of the autoimmune system; and the mutations of genes, proteins and polypeptides produced by cancer, etc., are immunogenic and can activate immune response because there is no immune tolerance generated during the development of the autoimmune system. The immunogenic substances produced by disease mutation in the whole cell components can be used for cancer treatment. The higher the antigen content in the nano-vaccine or micro-vaccine, the less the vaccine is needed when used, and the better the efficacy at the same dose. For this reason, the present invention proposes that the vaccine can increase the antigen loading or immunogenicity through solidification, biomineralization, addition of positively charged substances, addition of negatively charged substances, covalent modification and other methods, thereby enhancing the efficacy of the vaccine.
[0020] The cancer vaccine system of the present invention can be used to prepare vaccines for preventing and / or treating cancer. When used as a cancer vaccine to prevent and treat cancer, the vaccine of the present invention can be administered multiple times before or after cancer occurs or after surgical removal of tumor tissue to activate the body's immune system, thereby delaying the progression of cancer, treating cancer, or preventing the recurrence of cancer.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0040] The present invention discloses a nanoscale or micron-scale broad-spectrum cancer vaccine system loaded with one or more cancer cells and / or whole cell components of tumor tissue or a mixture thereof and its application to prevent or treat cancer. In the process of vaccine preparation, the present invention increases the antigen loading amount and thereby improves the efficacy of the vaccine by methods such as biomineralization and addition of cationic substances. Those skilled in the art can refer to the contents of this article and appropriately improve the process parameters to achieve it. It is particularly important to point out that all similar substitutions and modifications are obvious to those skilled in the art and they are all deemed to be included in the present invention. The methods and products of the present invention have been described through preferred embodiments, and relevant personnel can obviously modify or appropriately change and combine the methods described herein without departing from the content, spirit and scope of the present invention to implement and apply the technology of the present invention.
[0041] The present invention first obtains water-soluble components soluble in pure water or an aqueous solution without a solubilizer after lysing cancer cells and / or tissues, and then uses a solubilizing aqueous solution containing a solubilizer to dissolve water-insoluble components in the solubilizing solution, so that all cell components can be converted into components soluble in an aqueous solution and then loaded inside and outside nanoparticles or microparticles to prepare nano- or micro-vaccines for cancer prevention and treatment. In practical applications, the whole cell components can also be directly dissolved in a solubilizing aqueous solution containing a solubilizer after the cells or tissues are lysed without separately collecting the water-soluble components and the water-insoluble components, and the whole cell components dissolved in the solubilizing aqueous solution are used to prepare nano- or micro-vaccines.
[0042] The present invention uses an aqueous solution containing a solubilizer to convert the components in the cell that are insoluble in pure water or an aqueous solution without a solubilizer into components that are soluble in a specific solubilizing solution and can be used to prepare nanoparticles and micron particles, thereby improving the comprehensiveness and immunogenicity of the antigenic substances or components carried by the nanoparticles or micron particles. The whole cell components in cancer cells and / or tumor tissues are divided into a water-soluble part that can be dissolved in pure water or an aqueous solution without a solubilizer and a water-insoluble part that can be dissolved in an aqueous solution with a certain solubilizer, and the water-soluble part and the water-insoluble part are encapsulated in the nanoparticles or micron particles and loaded on their surfaces, thereby ensuring that most of the antigenic substances are loaded in the prepared vaccine. The water-soluble part and the water-insoluble part in the cell components include the components and components of the entire cell. Among them, the proteins, polypeptides and genes that are the same as the normal cell components and have not mutated will not cause immune response because of the immune tolerance generated during the development of the autoimmune system; and the mutations of genes, proteins and polypeptides caused by cancer have immunogenicity and can activate the body's immune response to cancer cells because there is no immune tolerance generated during the development of the autoimmune system. These cancer cell-specific immunogenic substances produced by disease mutations in whole cell components can be used for the prevention and treatment of cancer.
[0043] The delivery system of the whole cell components or the mixture thereof of the present invention can be used to prepare vaccines for preventing and / or treating cancer. The preparation process and application fields thereof are as follows: Figure 1 As shown. During the preparation, the water-soluble components and the water-insoluble components can be collected separately after the cells or tissues are lysed, and the nano-vaccine or micro-vaccine can be prepared separately; or the cells or tissues can be directly lysed by using a solubilizing solution containing a solubilizing agent, and the whole cell components can be dissolved to prepare the nano-vaccine or micro-vaccine. During the preparation process, biomineralization and cationic substances can be added inside or on the surface of the vaccine to increase the antigen loading under the same conditions and thus improve the efficacy of the vaccine.
[0044] The whole cell fraction or its mixture of the present invention is obtained by whole cell lysis of one or more cancer cells and / or tumor tissues, or the whole cell fraction is obtained by whole cell lysis of one or more bacteria and then processed, or the whole cell fraction is obtained by whole cell processing of one or more bacteria and then lysis. The whole cell fraction can be treated before or (and) after lysis, including but not limited to inactivation or (and) denaturation, solidification, biomineralization, ionization, chemical modification, nuclease treatment, etc., before preparation of nano- or micro-vaccines; or the nano- or micro-vaccines can be directly prepared without any inactivation or (and) denaturation, solidification, biomineralization, ionization, chemical modification, nuclease treatment before or (and) after cell lysis. In some embodiments of the present invention, tumor tissue cells are inactivated or (and) denatured before lysis. In actual use, they can also be inactivated or (and) denatured after cell lysis, or they can be inactivated or (and) denatured both before and after cell lysis. In some embodiments of the present invention, the inactivation or (and) denaturation treatment methods before or after cell lysis are ultraviolet irradiation and high temperature heating. In actual use, treatment methods including but not limited to radiation irradiation, high pressure, solidification, biomineralization, ionization, chemical modification, nuclease treatment, freeze drying, etc. can also be used. It can be understood by those skilled in the art that in actual application, the technicians can make appropriate adjustments according to the specific circumstances. The obtained broad-spectrum cancer vaccine system can be connected to the surface without a target head with active targeting function or with a target head with active targeting function.

[0046] In an embodiment, the immune adjuvant is encapsulated in the nanoparticles or microparticles and loaded on the surface of the nanoparticles or microparticles at the same time. In actual use, the immune adjuvant can also be only encapsulated in the nanoparticles or microparticles, or only loaded on the surface of the nanoparticles or microparticles, or no immune adjuvant is added. In some embodiments, the present invention first encapsulates the water-soluble part or (and) water-insoluble part of the cell component that is soluble in pure water with a solubilizer and then loads it in the nanoparticles or microparticles, and loads the immune adjuvant at the same time; then, the water-soluble part or (and) water-insoluble part of the cell component is loaded on the surface of the nanoparticles, and the immune adjuvant is loaded at the same time. In this way, the loading capacity of the water-soluble component or water-insoluble component of the cell in the nanoparticles or microparticles can be maximized. In practical applications, it is also possible to directly use a solubilizing solution (such as an 8M urea aqueous solution or a 6M guanidine hydrochloride aqueous solution) containing a solubilizing agent to directly lyse cells or tissues and directly dissolve the whole cell component, and then prepare a nano vaccine or a micro vaccine.
[0047] The method for preparing nano vaccines and micro vaccines described in the present invention is a common preparation method. In some embodiments, the preparation of nano vaccines adopts the emulsion method in the solvent evaporation method, the nanoparticle preparation material used is an organic polymer polylactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer (PLGA) with a molecular weight of 24KDa-38KDa, 38KDa-54KDa or 7-17KDa, and the immune adjuvant used is poly (I: C), BCG (BCG) cGAS-STING agonist or CpG. Those skilled in the art can understand that in the actual application process, the technicians can make appropriate adjustments to the preparation method, preparation process, nanoparticle preparation materials used, the type and concentration of immune adjuvants, etc. according to the specific circumstances.
[0048] In the modification of the nanoparticle preparation process, the biomineralization method of the present invention uses the silicification and calcification methods. In practical applications, other methods that can increase the antigen loading amount, such as magnesium, can also be used.
[0049] In some embodiments, the specific preparation method of the double emulsion method used in the present invention is as follows:
[0050] Step 1: adding a first predetermined volume of an aqueous solution containing a first predetermined concentration to a second predetermined volume of an organic phase containing a second predetermined concentration of a medical polymer material.
[0051] In some embodiments, the aqueous solution may contain various components in the cancer cell lysate and immune adjuvants poly(I:C), manganese adjuvant, BCG or CpG; the various components in the cancer cell lysate are water-soluble components or original water-insoluble components dissolved in 8M urea during preparation. The concentration of water-soluble components from cancer cells contained in the aqueous solution or the concentration of original water-insoluble components from cancer cells dissolved in 8M urea, that is, the first predetermined concentration requires the protein polypeptide concentration to be greater than 1 ng / mL, which can load enough cancer antigens to activate related immune responses. The concentration of the immune adjuvant in the initial aqueous phase is greater than 0.01 ng / mL.
[0052] In some embodiments, the aqueous solution contains components of tumor tissue lysate and immune adjuvants poly(I:C), manganese adjuvant, BCG or CpG; each component of tumor tissue lysate is a water-soluble component or a originally water-insoluble component dissolved in 8M urea during preparation. The concentration of water-soluble components from tumor tissue contained in the aqueous solution or the concentration of originally water-insoluble components from tumor tissue dissolved in 8M urea, that is, the first predetermined concentration requires the protein polypeptide concentration to be greater than 1 ng / mL, which can load enough cancer antigens to activate related immune responses. The concentration of the immune adjuvant in the initial aqueous phase is greater than 0.01 ng / mL.
[0053] In the present invention, the medical polymer material is dissolved in an organic solvent to obtain a second predetermined volume of an organic phase containing a second predetermined concentration of the medical polymer material. In some embodiments, the medical polymer material is PLGA, and the organic solvent is dichloromethane. In addition, in some embodiments, the second predetermined concentration of the medical polymer material ranges from 0.5 mg / mL to 5000 mg / mL, preferably 100 mg / mL.
[0054] In the present invention, PLGA or modified PLGA is selected because the material is a biodegradable material and has been approved by the FDA for use as a medical dressing. Studies have shown that PLGA has certain immunomodulatory functions and is therefore suitable as an adjuvant for vaccine preparation.
[0055] In practice, the second predetermined volume of the organic phase is set according to the ratio of the second predetermined volume of the organic phase to the first predetermined volume of the aqueous phase. In the present invention, the ratio of the first predetermined volume of the aqueous phase to the second predetermined volume of the organic phase is in the range of 1:1.1-1:5000, preferably 1:10. In the specific implementation process, the first predetermined volume, the second predetermined volume and the ratio of the first predetermined volume to the second predetermined volume can be adjusted as needed to adjust the size of the prepared nanoparticles or microparticles.
[0056] Preferably, when the aqueous phase solution is a lysate component solution, the concentration of proteins and polypeptides therein is greater than 1 ng / mL, preferably 1 mg / mL to 100 mg / mL; when the aqueous phase solution is a lysate component / immune adjuvant solution, the concentration of proteins and polypeptides therein is greater than 1 ng / mL, preferably 1 mg / mL to 100 mg / mL, and the concentration of the immune adjuvant is greater than 0.01 ng / mL, preferably 0.01 mg / mL to 20 mg / mL. In the polymer material organic phase solution, the solvent is DMSO, acetonitrile, ethanol, chloroform, methanol, DMF, isopropanol, dichloromethane, propanol, ethyl acetate, etc., preferably dichloromethane; the concentration of the polymer material is 0.5 mg / mL to 5000 mg / mL, preferably 100 mg / mL. The first emulsifier solution is preferably a polyvinyl alcohol aqueous solution, with a concentration of 10 mg / mL to 50 mg / mL, preferably 20 mg / mL. The second emulsifier solution is preferably a polyvinyl alcohol aqueous solution, with a concentration of 1 mg / mL to 20 mg / mL, preferably 5 mg / mL. The dispersion liquid is PBS buffer or physiological saline or pure water.
[0057] Step 2, subjecting the mixed solution obtained in step 1 to ultrasonic treatment for more than 2 seconds or stirring or homogenization treatment or microfluidic treatment for more than 1 minute. Preferably, when stirring is mechanical stirring or magnetic stirring, the stirring speed is greater than 50 rpm, and the stirring time is greater than 1 minute, such as the stirring speed is 50 rpm to 1500 rpm, and the stirring time is 0.1 hour to 24 hours; during ultrasonic treatment, the ultrasonic power is greater than 5W, and the time is greater than 0.1 second, such as 2 to 200 seconds; when homogenizing, a high pressure / ultra-high pressure homogenizer or a high shear homogenizer is used, and the pressure when using a high pressure / ultra-high pressure homogenizer is greater than 5 psi, such as 20psi to 100psi, and the speed when using a high shear homogenizer is greater than 100 rpm, such as 1000 rpm to 5000 rpm; when using microfluidic treatment, the flow rate is greater than 0.01 mL / min, such as 0.1 mL / min-100 mL / min. Ultrasound, stirring, homogenization or microfluidics treatment is used for nano- and / or micron-size. The length of ultrasound time, stirring speed or homogenization pressure and time can control the size of the prepared nano- and / or micron-particles. Too large or too small a particle size will lead to a change in particle size.
[0058] Step 3, adding the mixture obtained after the treatment in step 2 to a third predetermined volume of an aqueous solution containing a third predetermined concentration of an emulsifier and performing an ultrasonic treatment for more than 2 seconds or stirring for more than 1 minute or performing a homogenization treatment or a microfluidic treatment. In this step, the mixture obtained in step 2 is added to the emulsifier aqueous solution and continues to be ultrasonicated or stirred for nano- or micronization. This step is for nano- or micronization. The length of the ultrasonic time or the stirring speed and time can control the size of the prepared nanoparticles or micron particles. Too long or too short will bring about changes in the particle size. For this reason, it is necessary to select a suitable ultrasonic time. In the present invention, the ultrasonic time is greater than 0.1 seconds, such as 2 to 200 seconds, the stirring speed is greater than 50rpm, such as 50 rpm to 500 rpm, and the stirring time is greater than 1 minute, such as 60 to 6000 seconds. Preferably, when the stirring is mechanical stirring or magnetic stirring, the stirring speed is greater than 50 rpm, and the stirring time is greater than 1 minute, such as the stirring speed is 50 rpm to 1500 rpm, and the stirring time is 0.5 hour to 5 hours; during ultrasonic treatment, the ultrasonic power is 50W to 500W, and the time is greater than 0.1 second, such as 2 to 200 seconds; during homogenization, a high pressure / ultra-high pressure homogenizer or a high shear homogenizer is used, and when a high pressure / ultra-high pressure homogenizer is used, the pressure is greater than 20psi, such as 20psi to 100psi, and when a high shear homogenizer is used, the speed is greater than 1000 rpm, such as 1000 rpm to 5000rpm; when microfluidic treatment is used, the flow rate is greater than 0.01 mL / min, such as 0.1 mL / min-100 mL / min. Ultrasound, stirring, homogenization or microfluidics are used for nano- or micron-size. The length of ultrasound time, stirring speed or homogenization pressure and time can control the size of the prepared nano- or micron-particles. Too large or too small will lead to changes in particle size.
[0059] In the present invention, the emulsifier aqueous solution is a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) aqueous solution, the third predetermined volume is 5 mL, and the third predetermined concentration is 20 mg / mL. The third predetermined volume is adjusted according to its ratio to the second predetermined volume. In the present invention, the range between the second predetermined volume and the third predetermined volume is set to 1:1.1-1:1000, preferably 2:5. In the specific implementation process, in order to control the size of nanoparticles or micron particles, the ratio of the second predetermined volume to the third predetermined volume can be adjusted. Similarly, the ultrasonic time or stirring time, the volume of the emulsifier aqueous solution and the concentration of this step are all based on the values of obtaining nanoparticles or micron particles of appropriate size.
[0060] Step 4, adding the liquid obtained after the treatment in step 3 to a fourth predetermined volume of an aqueous emulsifier solution of a fourth predetermined concentration, and stirring until a predetermined stirring condition is met, or directly performing subsequent treatment without stirring.
[0061] In this step, the emulsifier aqueous solution is still PVA.
[0062] The fourth predetermined concentration is 5 mg / mL. The selection of the fourth predetermined concentration is based on obtaining nanoparticles or micron particles of suitable size. The selection of the fourth predetermined volume is determined based on the ratio of the third predetermined volume to the fourth predetermined volume. In the present invention, the ratio of the third predetermined volume to the third predetermined volume is in the range of 1:1.5-1:2000, preferably 1:10. In the specific implementation process, the ratio of the third predetermined volume to the fourth predetermined volume can be adjusted in order to control the size of the nanoparticles or micron particles.
[0063] In the present invention, the predetermined stirring condition of this step is that the organic solvent is completely volatilized, that is, the dichloromethane in step 1 is completely volatilized. Subsequent tests are not performed without stirring.
[0064] Step 5, after centrifuging the mixed solution that meets the predetermined stirring conditions in step 4 at a speed greater than 100 RPM for more than 1 minute, remove the supernatant, and re-suspend the remaining precipitate in a fifth predetermined volume of a solution of a fifth predetermined concentration containing water-soluble and / or water-insoluble components in the whole cell component, or re-suspend the remaining precipitate in a fifth predetermined volume of a solution of a fifth predetermined concentration containing water-soluble and / or water-insoluble components in the whole cell component and an adjuvant.
[0065] Step 6, after the mixed solution that meets the predetermined stirring conditions in step 5 is centrifuged at a speed greater than 100 RPM for more than 1 minute, the supernatant is removed, and the remaining precipitate is re-suspended in the sixth predetermined volume of solidification treatment reagent or biomineralization treatment reagent, centrifuged and washed after a certain period of time, and then the seventh predetermined volume of positively or negatively charged substances is added and allowed to react for a certain period of time.
[0066] In some embodiments of the present invention, the precipitate obtained in step 6 may not need to be freeze-dried after being resuspended in the seventh predetermined volume of charged substance, and subsequent experiments related to loading cancer cell / tissue lysate on the surface of nanoparticles or microparticles may be directly performed.
[0067] In some embodiments of the present invention, the precipitate obtained in step 6 is resuspended in an aqueous solution containing a drying protective agent and then vacuum dried at room temperature or freeze-vacuum dried. After drying, the cancer cell lysate is adsorbed on the surface of the nanoparticles or microparticles.
[0068] In the present invention, the freeze-drying protective agent is selected from trehalose or a mixed solution of mannitol and sucrose. In the present invention, the concentration of the freeze-drying protective agent in this step is 2-6% by mass, such as 3-5%, and optimally 4%. The reason for this setting is to not affect the drying effect in the subsequent drying.
[0069] Step 7, drying the suspension containing the drying protective agent obtained in step 6, and keeping the dried material for later use.
[0070] Step 8, the suspension containing nanoparticles obtained in step 6 and resuspended in PBS (or physiological saline) with an eighth predetermined volume, or the dried substance containing nanoparticles or micron particles and a drying protective agent obtained in step 7 and resuspended in an eighth predetermined volume of PBS (or physiological saline), is mixed with the ninth predetermined volume of the water-soluble component or the water-insoluble component to obtain the nanovaccine or micron vaccine.
[0071] In the present invention, the modification and antigen loading steps of step 5 to step 8 can be repeated multiple times to increase the antigen loading amount. Moreover, when adding positively or negatively charged substances, substances with the same charge can be added multiple times or substances with different charges can be added alternately.
[0072] In some embodiments, when the volume of the resuspended nanoparticle suspension is 10 mL, the volume of the water-soluble components or the original water-insoluble components in the cancer cell lysate or tumor tissue lysate is 0.1-100 mL. In actual use, the volumes and ratios of the two can be adjusted as needed.
[0073] In the present invention, the water-soluble component or the original water-insoluble component of the cancer cell lysate or tumor tissue lysate contains poly(I:C), manganese adjuvant, BCG (BCG) or CpG, and the concentration of poly(I:C), manganese adjuvant, BCG or CpG is greater than 1 ng / mL.
[0074] The particle size of the nano vaccine or micro vaccine is nanometer or micrometer, which can ensure that the vaccine is phagocytosed by antigen presenting cells, and in order to improve the phagocytosis efficiency, the particle size should be within an appropriate range. The particle size of the nano vaccine is 1nm-1000nm, more preferably, the particle size is 30nm-1000nm, and most preferably, the particle size is 100nm-600nm; the particle size of the micro vaccine is 1μm-1000μm, more preferably, the particle size is 1μm-100μm, more preferably, the particle size is 1μm-10μm, and most preferably, the particle size is 1μm-5μm. In this embodiment, the particle size of the nanoparticle vaccine is 100nm-600nm, and the particle size of the micro vaccine is 1μm-5μm.
[0075] In addition, in the present invention, urea and guanidine hydrochloride are used to solubilize the original water-insoluble components in the cancer cell lysate or tumor tissue lysate. In actual use, any other solubilizing substances that can dissolve the original water-insoluble components in the cancer cell lysate or tumor tissue lysate in an aqueous solution may also be used, such as sodium deoxycholate, SDS, alkaline solutions with a pH greater than 7, acidic solutions with a pH less than 7, albumin, lecithin, high-concentration inorganic salts, Triton, Tween, DMSO, acetonitrile, ethanol, methanol, DMF, isopropanol, propanol, acetic acid, cholesterol, amino acids, glycosides, choline, Brij™-35, Octaethylene glycolmonododecyl ether, CHAPS, Digitonin, lauryldimethylamine oxide, IGEPAL® CA-630; or the above-mentioned solubilizing agents may be used to dissolve the water-soluble components and the water-insoluble components at the same time.
[0076] In addition, in the present invention, 8M urea and 6M guanidine hydrochloride aqueous solutions are used to solubilize the original water-insoluble components in the cancer cell lysate or tumor tissue lysate. In actual use, any other urea concentration or guanidine hydrochloride concentration that can dissolve the original water-insoluble components in the cancer cell lysate or tumor tissue lysate in an aqueous solution can also be used; or a solution containing a solubilizing agent can be used to simultaneously dissolve the water-soluble components and the water-insoluble components in the whole cell components of the cancer cells and / or tumor tissues.
[0077] In addition, in the present invention, the preparation of nano- and micro-vaccines adopts the double emulsion method supplemented by appropriate modification treatment, and any other method for preparing nano-particles or micro-particles may also be adopted in practice; the preparation material of nano- and micro-vaccines is PLGA, and any other material that can be used to prepare nano- or micro-particles may also be adopted in practice.
[0078] In addition, in the present invention, the water-soluble components in the cancer cell lysate or tumor tissue lysate or the original water-insoluble components dissolved in the solubilizing agent are respectively encapsulated in the nanoparticles and loaded on the surface of the nanoparticles. In actual use, the water-soluble components and the water-insoluble components in the cancer cell lysate or tumor tissue lysate can also be mixed and then encapsulated in the nanoparticles or loaded on the surface of the nanoparticles; or a solution containing a solubilizing agent can be used to simultaneously dissolve the water-soluble components and the water-insoluble components and then encapsulated in the nanoparticles or micron particles and / or loaded on the surface of the nanoparticles or micron particles.

[0088] Nano vaccine and the blank nanoparticles used as a control in the present embodiment are prepared by the multiple emulsion method in the solvent evaporation method, and in the nano vaccine preparation process, low temperature siliconization technology and two modification methods of adding charged substances are adopted to improve the antigen loading capacity. The nano vaccine of water-soluble components in the load full cell component and the nano vaccine of water-insoluble components in the load full cell component are prepared respectively when preparing, and then used together when using. The nano particle preparation material PLGA molecular weight adopted is 24KDa-38KDa, and the immunoadjuvant adopted is poly (I: C) and poly (I: C) both distributed in the nano particle inside and also loaded on the nano particle surface. The preparation method is as described above. In the preparation process, the antigen is first loaded inside the nanoparticles by the emulsion method. After the antigen (lysis component) is loaded inside, 100 mg of nanoparticles are centrifuged at 10000g for 20 minutes, and then the nanoparticles are resuspended with 7 mL of PBS and mixed with 3 mL of PBS solution containing cell lysate (50 mg / mL), and then centrifuged at 10000g for 20 minutes, and then resuspended with 10 mL of silicate aqueous solution (containing 150 mM NaCl, 80 mM tetramethyl orthosilicate and 1.0 mM HCl, pH 3.0), and fixed at room temperature for 10 min, and then fixed at -80℃ for 24 h, and then washed by centrifugation with ultrapure water, and then resuspended with 3 mL of PBS containing protamine (5 mg / mL) and polylysine (10 mg / mL) and acted for 10 min, and then washed by centrifugation at 10000g for 20 min, and resuspended with 10 mL of PBS solution containing cell lysate (50 mg / mL) and acted for 10 min, Then, after centrifugation at 10000g for 20 minutes, the supernatant was removed and the precipitate was resuspended in 10 mL of ultrapure water containing 4% trehalose and freeze-dried for 48 hours; before the vaccine was injected, it was resuspended in 7 mL of PBS and then 3 mL of cancer tissue lysate containing immune adjuvant (protein concentration 50 mg / mL) was added and reacted at room temperature for 10 minutes to obtain a nanovaccine modified by frozen siliconization and addition of cationic substances with both internal and external lysates loaded. The average particle size of the nanovaccine is about 270nm, and the surface potential of the nanovaccine is about -3mV; each 1mg of PLGA nanoparticles is loaded with about 280μg of protein or polypeptide components, and the poly(I:C) immune adjuvant used inside and outside each 1mg of PLGA nanoparticles is about 0.02mg, and half is inside and half is outside.
[0089] The preparation method and steps of the unmodified nanovaccine are basically the same as those of the modified nanovaccine, except that the low-temperature siliconization and charged substance addition steps are not performed. In the preparation process, the antigen is first loaded inside the nanoparticles by the double emulsion method. After the antigen (lysate component) is loaded inside, it is centrifuged at 10000g for 20 minutes, and then resuspended with 10 mL of ultrapure water containing 4% trehalose and freeze-dried for 48 hours. Before the vaccine is used, it is resuspended with 7 mL of PBS and then 3 mL of cancer tissue lysate component containing adjuvant (protein concentration 50 mg / mL) is added and reacted at room temperature for 10 minutes to obtain a nanovaccine loaded with lysate inside and outside. The average particle size of the nanovaccine is about 230nm, and the surface potential of the nanovaccine is about -5mV; each 1mg PLGA nanoparticle is loaded with about 180μg of protein or polypeptide components, and the poly (I:C) immune adjuvant used inside and outside each 1mg PLGA nanoparticle is about 0.02mg, and half is inside and half is outside.
[0090] The particle size of blank nanoparticles is about 230 nm. When preparing blank nanoparticles, pure water or 8 M urea containing an equal amount of poly(I:C) is used to replace the corresponding water-soluble components and water-insoluble components.
[0091] (3) Nanovaccines for cancer prevention
[0092] The control groups of this study were PBS group, blank nanoparticles + cell lysate group and unmodified nanovaccine group. Female C57BL / 6 mice aged 6-8 weeks were selected as model mice to prepare melanoma tumor-bearing mice.
[0093] The dosing schedule for the nanovaccine group was as follows: 200 μL of 2 mg PLGA nanovaccine loaded with water-soluble components in the lysate and 200 μL of 2 mg PLGA nanovaccine loaded with water-insoluble components in 8 M urea were subcutaneously injected on days 42, 35, 28, 21, and 14 before melanoma inoculation. On day 0, 1.5 × 10 5 B16F10 cells.
[0094] The PBS control group was subcutaneously injected with 400 μL PBS on days 42, 35, 28, 21, and 14 before melanoma inoculation. On day 0, 1.5×10 5B16F10 cells. Blank nanoparticles + free lysate control group: 400 μL of blank nanoparticles and free lysate equal to the vaccine load were subcutaneously injected on days 42, 35, 28, 21, and 14 before melanoma inoculation. Blank nanoparticles and free lysate were injected at different sites. On day 0, 1.5×10 5 B16F10 cells.
[0095] In the experiment, the size of the mouse tumor volume was recorded every 3 days starting from the 3rd day. The tumor volume was calculated using the formula v = 0.52 × a × b 2 Calculated as follows: where v is the tumor volume, a is the tumor length, and b is the tumor width. For animal experiment ethics, in the mouse survival test, when the mouse tumor volume exceeds 2000mm 3 The mice were considered dead and euthanized.
[0096] (4) Experimental results
[0097] like Figure 7 As shown, the tumors of mice in the vaccine group treated with the modified B16F10 tumor tissue whole cell component loaded during the nano vaccine preparation process disappeared completely after vaccination; while the tumors of mice in the vaccine group treated with the unmodified B16F10 tumor tissue whole cell component loaded disappeared 70% after vaccination; while the tumors of mice in the PBS control group and the blank nanoparticle control group grew larger. In summary, the nano vaccine modified by siliconization and addition of cationic substances in the present invention has a good preventive effect on melanoma, and because more antigens can be loaded after modification, its preventive effect is better than the nano vaccine group that has not been modified during the preparation process.

After the cells were lysed, the lysate was centrifuged at a speed of 3000g for 6 minutes and the supernatant was taken as the water-soluble component soluble in pure water; 8M urea was added to the obtained precipitate to dissolve the precipitate, and the water-insoluble component insoluble in pure water was converted into soluble in 8M urea aqueous solution. The above is the source of antigen raw materials for preparing vaccines.

Nano vaccine of water-soluble components in the load full cell component and the nano vaccine of water-insoluble components in the load full cell component are prepared respectively when preparing, and then used together when using. The nano particle preparation material PLGA molecular weight adopted is 24KDa-38KDa, and the immunoadjuvant adopted is that CPG and CpG are both distributed in the nano particle inside and are also loaded on the nano particle surface. The preparation method is as described above. In the preparation process, the antigen is first loaded inside the nanoparticles by the emulsion method.

Then, 10 mL of silicate aqueous solution (containing 150 mM NaCl, 80 mM tetramethyl orthosilicate and 1.0 mM HCl, pH 3.0) was used and fixed at room temperature for 10 min, then fixed at -80°C for 24 h, washed by centrifugation with ultrapure water, resuspended with 3 mL of PBS containing protamine (5 mg / mL) and polylysine (10 mg / mL) and acted for 10 min, then washed by centrifugation at 10,000 g for 20 min, resuspended with 10 mL of PBS solution containing cell lysate (50 mg / mL) and acted for 10 min, then centrifuged at 10,000 g for 20 minutes, resuspended with 10 mL of ultrapure water containing 4% trehalose and freeze-dried for 48 h; before vaccine injection, it was resuspended with 7 mL of PBS and then 3 mL of cancer cell lysate component containing adjuvant (protein concentration 50 mg / mL) was added and acted at room temperature for 10 min to obtain a nanovaccine modified by frozen siliconization and addition of cationic substances with lysate loaded both inside and outside.The average particle size of the nano vaccine is about 350nm, and the surface potential of the nano vaccine is about -3mV; each 1mg of PLGA nanoparticles is loaded with about 350μg of protein or polypeptide components, and the CpG immune adjuvant used inside and outside each 1mg of PLGA nanoparticles is about 0.02mg in total, with half inside and half outside.
[0104] The preparation method and steps of the unmodified nanovaccine are basically the same as those of the modified nanovaccine, except that the steps of siliconization, addition of cationic substances and anionic substances are not performed. In the preparation process, the antigen is first loaded inside the nanoparticles by the double emulsion method. After the antigen (lysate component) is loaded inside, it is centrifuged at 10000g for 20 minutes, and then resuspended with 10 mL of ultrapure water containing 4% trehalose and freeze-dried for 48 hours. Before the vaccine is used, it is resuspended with 7 mL of PBS and then 3 mL of cancer tissue lysate component containing adjuvant (protein concentration 50 mg / mL) is added and reacted at room temperature for 10 minutes to obtain a nanovaccine loaded with lysate inside and outside.

[0106] (3) Nanovaccines for cancer prevention
[0107] The control groups of this study were PBS group, blank nanoparticles + cell lysate group and unmodified nanovaccine group. Female C57BL / 6 mice aged 6-8 weeks were selected as model mice to prepare melanoma tumor-bearing mice.
[0108] The dosing schedule for the nanovaccine group was as follows: 200 μL of 2 mg PLGA nanovaccine loaded with water-soluble components in cancer cell lysate and 200 μL of 2 mg PLGA nanovaccine loaded with water-insoluble components in 8 M urea were subcutaneously injected on days 42, 35, 28, 21, and 14 before melanoma inoculation. On day 0, 1.5 × 10 5 B16F10 cells.

Blank nanoparticles + cell lysate control group: 400 μL of blank nanoparticles and an equal amount of free cell lysate loaded with the vaccine were subcutaneously injected on days 42, 35, 28, 21, and 14 before melanoma inoculation. Blank nanoparticles and free cell lysate were injected at different sites. On day 0, 1.5×10 5 B16F10 cells.
[0110] In the experiment, the size of the mouse tumor volume was recorded every 3 days starting from the 3rd day. The tumor volume was calculated using the formula v = 0.52 × a × b 2 Calculated as follows: where v is the tumor volume, a is the tumor length, and b is the tumor width. For animal experiment ethics, in the mouse survival test, when the mouse tumor volume exceeds 2000mm 3 The mice were considered dead and euthanized.
[0111] (4) Experimental results
[0112] like Figure 8 As shown, the tumors of mice in the vaccine group treated with the modified B16F10 tumor tissue whole cell component loaded during the nano vaccine preparation process disappeared completely after vaccination; while the tumors of mice in the vaccine group treated with the unmodified B16F10 tumor tissue whole cell component loaded disappeared 70% after vaccination; while the tumors of mice in the PBS control group and the blank nanoparticle control group grew larger. In summary, the nano vaccine modified by siliconization and adding charged substances in the present invention has a good preventive effect on melanoma, and because more antigens can be loaded after modification, its preventive effect is better than the nano vaccine group that has not been modified during the preparation process.

[0114] This example uses mouse colon cancer as a cancer model to illustrate how to prepare a nanovaccine loaded with a mixture of colon cancer tumor tissue and whole cell components of colon cancer cells, and use the vaccine to treat colon cancer.
[0115] In this embodiment, MC38 mouse colon cancer was used as a cancer model.

Then, organic polymer material PLGA was used as a nanoparticle skeleton material, Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) was used as an immune adjuvant, and a nano vaccine was prepared by a solvent evaporation method and used to treat colon cancer.
[0116] (1) Lysis of tumor tissue and cancer cells and collection of various components
[0117] Each C57BL / 6 mouse was subcutaneously inoculated with 2 × 10 6 When the tumors grow to a volume of approximately 1000 mm 3 The mice were killed and the tumor tissues were removed. The tumor tissues were cut into pieces and ground, and an appropriate amount of pure water was added through a cell filter and repeatedly frozen and thawed 5 times, accompanied by ultrasound to destroy the lysed cells. After the cells were lysed, the lysate was centrifuged at a speed greater than 5000g for 5 minutes and the supernatant was taken as the water-soluble component soluble in pure water; 8M urea was added to the obtained precipitate to dissolve the precipitate, and the water-insoluble component insoluble in pure water was converted into a soluble component in 8M urea aqueous solution.
[0118] The cultured MC38 cancer cell line was collected and centrifuged at 350g for 5 minutes, then the supernatant was discarded and washed twice with PBS, then the cells were resuspended in ultrapure water and repeatedly frozen and thawed 5 times, accompanied by ultrasound to destroy the lysed cells. After the cells were lysed, the lysate was centrifuged at 3000g for 6 minutes and the supernatant was taken as the water-soluble component soluble in pure water; 8M urea was added to the obtained precipitate to dissolve the precipitate, and the water-insoluble component insoluble in pure water was converted into a soluble component in 8M urea aqueous solution.
[0119] The water-soluble components from MC38 tumor tissue and MC38 cancer cells and the original water-insoluble components dissolved in 8M urea were mixed in a mass ratio of 1:1 to obtain the raw material source for preparing the vaccine.
[0120] (2) BCG lysis and collection of its components
[0121] The method for lysing BCG and collecting its components are the same as those for cancer cells, except that the MC38 cancer cell line is replaced by BCG.
[0122] (3) Preparation of nano vaccines
[0123] In this embodiment, the nano vaccine and the blank nanoparticles used as the control are prepared by the emulsion method in the solvent evaporation method. The preparation method is the same as that in Example 1, except that the water-soluble component or the water-insoluble component in Example 1 is replaced by the corresponding mixture in this embodiment; the poly(I:C) immune adjuvant is replaced by the BCG lysate of this embodiment.

The particle size of the blank nanoparticles is about 260nm. When preparing the blank nanoparticles, pure water or 8M urea containing an equal amount of poly(I:C) is used to replace the corresponding water-soluble components and water-insoluble components.
[0124] (4) Using nano-vaccines to treat colon cancer in mice
[0125] The control groups of this study were PBS group and blank nanoparticles + cell lysate group. Female C57BL / 6 mice aged 6-8 weeks were selected as model mice to prepare colon cancer tumor-bearing mice.
[0126] The dosing schedule for the nano-vaccine group was as follows: on day 0, each mouse was subcutaneously inoculated with 2×10 6 MC38 cells were then injected subcutaneously with 200 μL of 2 mg PLGA nanovaccine loaded with water-soluble components and 200 μL of 2 mg PLGA nanovaccine loaded with original water-insoluble components dissolved in 8 M urea on days 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18. The PBS control group was as follows: On day 0, 2 × 10 6 MC38 cells were injected subcutaneously on the 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th, 15th and 18th days. Blank nanoparticles + cell lysate control group: 2×10 MC38 cells were injected subcutaneously on the lower right back of each mouse on day 0. 6 MC38 cells were injected subcutaneously on the 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th, 15th and 18th days, respectively, with 400 μL of blank nanoparticles and free cell lysate with the same amount of vaccine load. Blank nanoparticles and free cell lysate were injected at different sites. In the experiment, the size of the mouse tumor volume was recorded every 3 days starting from the 3rd day. The tumor volume was calculated using the formula v=0.52×a×b 2 Calculated as follows: where v is the tumor volume, a is the tumor length, and b is the tumor width. For animal experiment ethics, in the mouse survival test, when the mouse tumor volume exceeds 2000mm 3 The mice were considered dead and euthanized.
[0127] (4) Experimental results
[0128] like Fig. 9 As shown, the tumors of mice in the vaccine-treated group loaded with colon cancer tumor tissue and colon cancer cell components that were modified during the preparation of the nanovaccine were partially cured and disappeared after treatment; while the tumors of mice in the PBS control group and the blank nanoparticle control group grew larger. In summary, the nanovaccine modified by siliconization and addition of cationic substances in the present invention has a good therapeutic effect on colon cancer, and because more antigens can be loaded after modification, its therapeutic effect is better than that of the nanovaccine group that was not modified during the preparation process.

[0133] (2) Preparation of Nanovaccines
[0134] Nano vaccine and the blank nanoparticles in the present embodiment as a comparison adopt the multiple emulsion method preparation in the solvent evaporation method, and adopt low temperature siliconization technology and two kinds of modification methods of adding charged substances to improve the antigenic load in the nano vaccine preparation process.The nano vaccine of the water-soluble component in the load whole cell component and the nano vaccine of the water-insoluble component in the load whole cell component are prepared respectively when preparing, and then used together when using.The nano particle preparation material PLGA molecular weight adopted is 24KDa-38KDa, and the immunoadjuvant adopted is manganese colloidal particles and CpG and manganese particles are distributed in the nano particle inside and CpG is distributed in the nano vaccine surface.After manganese adjuvant is mixed with the water-soluble component or the water-insoluble component in the whole cell component, adopt the multiple emulsion method to prepare the nano particle of internal load antigen and adjuvant as the first aqueous phase. When preparing the manganese adjuvant, first add 1 mL of 0.3M Na3PO4 solution to 9 mL of normal saline, then add 2 mL of 0.3 M MnCl2 solution, and after standing overnight, Mn2OHPO4 colloidal manganese adjuvant is obtained, and the particle size of the manganese adjuvant is about 13nm.

After internal loading of antigen (lytic component) and adjuvant, 100 mg of nanoparticles were centrifuged at 10000g for 20 min, then resuspended with 7 mL of PBS and mixed with 3 mL of PBS solution containing cell lysate (50 mg / mL), then centrifuged at 10000g for 20 min, then resuspended with 10 mL of silicate aqueous solution (containing 150 mM NaCl, 80 mM tetramethyl orthosilicate and 1.0 mM HCl, pH 3.0), and fixed at room temperature for 10 min, then fixed at -80°C for 24 h, washed by centrifugation with ultrapure water, resuspended with 3 mL of PBS containing histone (5 mg / mL) and polyarginine (10 mg / mL) for 10 min, then washed by centrifugation at 10000g for 20 min, resuspended with 10 mL of PBS solution containing cell lysate (50 mg / mL) for 10 min, then centrifuged at 10000g for 20 min and mixed with 10 mL of PBS solution containing cell lysate (50 mg / mL) for 10 min, then centrifuged at 10000g for 20 min and mixed with 10 mL of PBS solution containing cell lysate (50 mg / mL) for 10 min, mL of ultrapure water containing 4% trehalose was resuspended and freeze-dried for 48 h; before vaccine injection, it was resuspended with 7 mL of PBS and then 3 mL of cancer tissue lysate component containing CpG adjuvant (protein concentration 50 mg / mL) was added and allowed to react at room temperature for 10 min to obtain a nanovaccine modified by cryosilicification and addition of cationic substances with lysate loaded both inside and outside.The average particle size of the nano vaccine is about 360nm, and the surface potential of the nano vaccine is about -3mV; each 1mg of PLGA nanoparticles is loaded with about 300μg of protein or polypeptide components, the CpG adjuvant used inside and outside each 1mg of PLGA nanoparticles is 0.01mg, and the manganese content loaded inside the particles is 0.005mg.
[0135] The preparation method and steps of the unmodified nanovaccine are basically the same as those of the modified nanovaccine, except that the low-temperature siliconization and cationic substance addition steps are not performed. In the preparation process, the antigen is first loaded inside the nanoparticles by the double emulsion method. After the antigen (lysate component) and manganese adjuvant are loaded inside, the nanoparticles are centrifuged at 10000g for 20 minutes, and then resuspended with 10 mL of ultrapure water containing 4% trehalose and freeze-dried for 48 hours. Before the vaccine is used, it is resuspended with 7 mL of PBS and then 3 mL of cancer tissue lysate component containing CpG adjuvant (protein concentration 50 mg / mL) is added and reacted at room temperature for 10 minutes to obtain a nanovaccine loaded with lysate inside and outside. The average particle size of the nanovaccine is about 330nm, and the surface potential of the nanovaccine is about -5mV; each 1mg of PLGA nanoparticles is loaded with about 180μg of protein or polypeptide components, each 1mg of PLGA nanoparticles has 0.01mg of CpG adjuvant, and the manganese content loaded inside the particles is 0.005mg.
[0136] The particle size of the blank nanoparticles is about 300 nm. When preparing the blank nanoparticles, pure water or 8M urea containing equal amounts of manganese adjuvant and CpG adjuvant are used to replace the corresponding water-soluble components and water-insoluble components.
[0137] (3) Nanovaccines for cancer treatment
[0138] The control groups of this study were PBS group and blank nanoparticles + cell lysate group. Female C57BL / 6 mice aged 6-8 weeks were selected as model mice to prepare melanoma-bearing mice. The dosing regimen of the nanovaccine group was as follows: on day 0, 1.5×10 5 B16F10 cells were injected subcutaneously on the 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th, 15th and 18th days, respectively, with 200 μL of 2 mg PLGA nanovaccine loaded with water-soluble components and 200 μL of 2 mg PLGA nanovaccine loaded with original water-insoluble components. The PBS control group was as follows: on day 0, 1.5×10 5 B16F10 cells were subcutaneously injected with 400 μL PBS on days 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18. Blank nanoparticles + cell lysate control group: On day 0, 1.5×10 5B16F10 cells were added to the mice, and then 400 μL of blank nanoparticles and an equal amount of free cell lysate loaded with the vaccine were subcutaneously injected on the 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th, 15th and 18th days. Blank nanoparticles and free cell lysate were injected at different sites. In the experiment, the size of the mouse tumor volume was recorded every 3 days starting from the 3rd day. The tumor volume was calculated using the formula v=0.52×a×b 2 Calculated as follows: where v is the tumor volume, a is the tumor length, and b is the tumor width. For animal experiment ethics, in the mouse survival test, when the mouse tumor volume exceeds 2000mm 3 The mice were considered dead and euthanized.
[0139] (4) Experimental results
[0140] like Fig.10 As shown, the tumors of mice in the vaccine-treated group loaded with whole cell components of mixed tumor tissues of B16F10 and LLC partially disappeared after vaccination, while the tumors of mice in the PBS control group and the blank nanoparticle control group grew larger. In summary, the nanovaccine loaded with whole cell components of multiple tumor tissues of the present invention has a good therapeutic effect on melanoma, and because more antigens can be loaded after modification, its therapeutic effect is better than that of the nanovaccine group that has not been modified during the preparation process.
[0141] Example 5 Water-soluble components of colon cancer and lung cancer cells loaded inside and on the surface of microparticles for the treatment of colon cancer
[0142] This example uses mouse colon cancer as a cancer model to illustrate how to prepare a micron vaccine loaded with only the water-soluble parts of colon cancer and lung cancer cell components, and use the vaccine to prevent colon cancer.
[0143] In this example, MC38 colon cancer tumor tissue and LLC lung cancer cells were first lysed to prepare water-soluble components and water-insoluble components. Then, organic polymer material PLGA was used as micron particle skeleton material, and manganese particles and poly (I: C) were used as immune adjuvants to prepare micron vaccines loaded with water-soluble components of whole cells.
[0144] (1) Lysis of MC38 colon cancer tumor tissue and LLC lung cancer cells and collection of various components
[0145] The collection and lysis methods of tumor tissue and cancer cells and the collection methods of water-soluble components and water-insoluble components are the same as above. The water-soluble components of the two lysates from colon cancer tumor tissue and lung cancer cells are mixed in a mass ratio of 3:1 to obtain the antigen source for preparing the micron vaccine.
[0146] (2) Preparation of micronized vaccines
[0147] In this embodiment, the preparation of micron vaccine and blank micron particles as a control adopts the emulsion method in the solvent evaporation method. The micron particle preparation material used is the organic polymer material PLGA with a molecular weight of 38KDa-54KDa, and the immune adjuvant used is manganese particles and poly (I: C), and the manganese particles are distributed in the vaccine and poly (I: C) is distributed on the surface of the vaccine. In the preparation process of the micron vaccine emulsion method, two modification methods, low-temperature siliconization technology and adding positively charged substances, are used to increase the antigen loading capacity. In the preparation process, a manganese adjuvant is first prepared, and then the manganese adjuvant is mixed with the water-soluble components in the whole cell component as the first aqueous phase and the emulsion method is used to prepare nanoparticles with internal antigen and adjuvant. When preparing the manganese adjuvant, 1 mL of 0.3 M Na3PO4 solution is first added to 9 mL of normal saline, and then 2 mL of 0.3 M MnCl2 solution is added. After being placed overnight, Mn2OHPO4 colloidal manganese adjuvant is obtained, and the particle size of the manganese adjuvant is about 13nm. Then, the manganese adjuvant was mixed with the water-soluble component (60 mg / mL) in the whole cell fraction at a volume ratio of 1:4, and the antigen and the manganese adjuvant were loaded into the microparticles using the double emulsion method. After internal loading of antigen (lytic component) and adjuvant, 100 mg of microparticles were centrifuged at 10000g for 20 min, then resuspended in 7 mL of PBS and mixed with 3 mL of PBS solution containing cell lysate (50 mg / mL), then centrifuged at 10000g for 20 min, then resuspended in 10 mL of silicate aqueous solution (containing 150 mM NaCl, 80 mM tetramethyl orthosilicate and 1.0 mM HCl, pH 3.0), and fixed at room temperature for 10 min, then fixed at -80°C for 24 h, washed by centrifugation with ultrapure water, resuspended in 3 mL of PBS containing histone (5 mg / mL) and polyarginine (10 mg / mL) for 10 min, then washed by centrifugation at 10000g for 20 min, resuspended in 10 mL of PBS solution containing cell lysate (50 mg / mL) for 10 min, then centrifuged at 10000g for 20 min and mixed with 10 mL of PBS solution containing cell lysate (50 mg / mL) for 10 min, then centrifuged at 10000g for 10 min and mixed with 10 mL of PBS solution containing cell lysate (50 mg / mL) for 10 min, then centrifuged at 10000g for 20 min and mixed with 10 mL of ultrapure water containing 4% trehalose was resuspended and freeze-dried for 48 hours; before the vaccine was injected, it was resuspended with 7 mL of PBS and then 3 mL of cancer tissue lysate containing poly(I:C) adjuvant (protein concentration 50 mg / mL) was added and reacted at room temperature for 10 minutes to obtain a micron vaccine modified by frozen siliconization and addition of cationic substances with lysate loaded inside and outside. The average particle size of the nano vaccine is about 1.5μm, and the surface potential of the nano vaccine is about -4mV; each 1mg of PLGA nanoparticles is loaded with about 320μg of protein or polypeptide components, and the poly(I:C) adjuvant used for each 1mg of PLGA nanoparticles is 0.01mg, and the manganese content loaded inside the particles is 0.005mg.
[0148] The preparation method and steps of the unmodified micron vaccine are basically the same as those of the modified micron vaccine, except that the low-temperature siliconization and cationic substance addition steps are not performed. In the preparation process, the antigen is first loaded inside the micron particles by the double emulsion method. After the antigen (lysate component) and manganese adjuvant are loaded inside, the particles are centrifuged at 10000g for 20 minutes, and then resuspended with 10 mL of ultrapure water containing 4% trehalose and freeze-dried for 48 hours. Before the vaccine is used, it is resuspended with 7 mL of PBS and then 3 mL of cancer tissue lysate component containing poly(I:C) adjuvant (protein concentration 50 mg / mL) is added and reacted at room temperature for 10 minutes to obtain a micron vaccine loaded with lysate inside and outside. The average particle size of the micron vaccine is about 1.4 μm, and the surface potential of the micron vaccine is about -5mV; each 1mg of PLGA micron particles is loaded with about 190μg of protein or polypeptide components, each 1mg of PLGA nanoparticles poly(I:C) adjuvant is 0.01mg, and the manganese content loaded inside the particles is 0.005mg.
[0149] The particle size of the blank microparticles is about 300 nm. When preparing the blank microparticles, pure water or 8M urea containing equal amounts of manganese adjuvant and poly(I:C) adjuvant are used to replace the corresponding water-soluble components.
[0150] (3) Micron vaccines for cancer treatment
[0151] The control groups of this study were PBS group and blank microparticles + free lysate group. Female C57BL / 6 mice aged 6-8 weeks were selected as model mice to prepare colon cancer tumor-bearing mice. The administration scheme of the micro vaccine group was as follows: on day 0, 2×10 6 MC38 cells were injected subcutaneously on days 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18, respectively, with 200 μL of 4 mg PLGA micro-vaccine loaded with water-soluble components of cancer cell lysate inside and on the surface. The PBS control group was as follows: On day 0, 2×10 6 MC38 cells were injected subcutaneously on days 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18. Blank microparticles + cell lysate control group: 2×10 MC38 cells were injected subcutaneously on the lower right back of each mouse on day 0. 6 MC38 cells were injected subcutaneously on the 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th, 15th and 18th days, respectively, with 200 μL of blank microparticles and free cell lysate with the same amount of vaccine load. Blank microparticles and free cell lysate were injected at different sites. In the experiment, the size of the mouse tumor volume was recorded every 3 days starting from the 3rd day. The tumor volume was calculated using the formula v=0.52×a×b2 Calculated as follows: where v is the tumor volume, a is the tumor length, and b is the tumor width. For animal experiment ethics, in the mouse survival test, when the mouse tumor volume exceeds 2000mm 3 The mice were considered dead and euthanized.
[0152] (4) Experimental results
[0153] like Fig.11 As shown, compared with the PBS blank control group, the blank microparticles + free lysate control group and the micron vaccine administration group, the tumor volume growth rate of mice was significantly slowed down and the survival period of mice was significantly prolonged. Moreover, some mice in the micron vaccine administration group had partial disappearance of tumors after vaccination and recovered. It can be seen that the micron vaccine loaded with water-soluble components of colon cancer tumor tissue and lung cancer cells described in the present invention has a good therapeutic effect on colon cancer, and because more antigens can be loaded after modification, its therapeutic effect is better than that of the micron vaccine group that has not been modified during the preparation process.

In this example, 4T1 mouse triple-negative breast cancer is used as a cancer model. First, breast cancer cells are inactivated and denatured, and the whole cell components are dissolved after lysing cancer cells with 8M urea. Then, PLGA is used as the micron particle skeleton material, and CpG and Poly (I: C) are used as immune adjuvants to prepare a micron vaccine loaded with whole cell components using a solvent evaporation method.

Resuspend and then add 3 mL of cancer cell lysate components (protein concentration 50 mg / mL) and react at room temperature for 10 minutes to obtain a micron vaccine modified by frozen siliconization, addition of cationic substances and addition of anionic substances, which is loaded with lysate inside and outside. The average particle size of the micron vaccine is about 2.5μm, and the surface potential of the micron vaccine is about -4mV; each 1mg PLGA micron particle is loaded with about 340μg of protein or peptide components, 0.01mg of poly (I: C), and 0.001mg of CpG.
[0160] The particle size of the blank microparticles is about 2.4 μm. When preparing the blank microparticles, 8 M urea containing equal amounts of Poly (I: C) and CpG adjuvants are used to replace the corresponding components.

[0200] Example 10 Whole cell components of melanoma tumor tissue loaded inside and on the surface of nanoparticles for the treatment of melanoma
[0201] This embodiment uses mouse melanoma as a cancer model to illustrate how to prepare a nano vaccine loaded with whole cell components of melanoma tumor tissue, and uses the vaccine to treat melanoma. In this embodiment, first, B16F10 melanoma tumor tissue is cracked to prepare water-soluble components and water-insoluble components of tumor tissue. Then, organic polymer material PLGA is used as a nanoparticle skeleton material, poly (I: C) is used as an immune adjuvant, and a solvent volatilization method is used to prepare a nano vaccine loaded with water-soluble components and water-insoluble components of tumor tissue. In this embodiment, the method of siliconization and adding cationic substances is used to increase the load of antigens, and only one round of low-temperature siliconization treatment is performed.
[0202] (1) Lysis of tumor tissue and collection of various components
[0203] The method is the same as in Example 1.
[0204] (2) Preparation of Nanovaccines
[0205] In this embodiment, the nano vaccine and the nanoparticles used as the control are prepared by the double emulsion method in the solvent evaporation method. In the process of preparing the nano vaccine, two modification methods, namely low temperature siliconization technology and adding charged substances, are used to increase the antigen loading capacity. The preparation process is the same as that in Example 1. The average particle size of the nano vaccine is about 250nm, and the surface potential of the nano vaccine is about -3mV; each 1mg of PLGA nanoparticles loads about 280μg of protein or polypeptide components, and the poly(I:C) immune adjuvant used inside and outside each 1mg of PLGA nanoparticles is about 0.02mg in total, and half of it is inside and half is outside.
[0206] The steps of the method for preparing the nanovaccine with only low-temperature silicification treatment are basically the same as those of the nanovaccine with two modification treatments, except that no charged substance treatment step is added after low-temperature silicification. During the preparation process, the antigen was first loaded inside the nanoparticles by the double emulsion method. After the antigen (lysis component) was loaded inside, the nanoparticles were centrifuged at 10000g for 20 minutes, and then 7mL of PBS was used to resuspend the nanoparticles and mixed with 3mL of PBS solution containing cell lysate (50mg / mL), and then centrifuged at 10000g for 20 minutes. Then, 10mL of silicate aqueous solution (containing 150mM NaCl, 80mM tetramethyl orthosilicate and 1.0mM HCl, pH 3.0) was used to resuspend, and fixed at room temperature for 10 minutes, and then fixed at -80℃ for 24 hours, and then washed by centrifugation with ultrapure water, and then resuspended with PBS for 10 minutes, and then washed by centrifugation at 10000g for 20 minutes, and resuspended with 10mL of PBS solution containing cell lysate (50mg / mL) for 10 minutes, and then centrifuged at 10000g for 20 minutes and resuspended with 10mL of ultrapure water containing 4% trehalose and freeze-dried for 48 h; before the vaccine is injected, it is resuspended with 7 mL PBS and then 3 mL of cancer tissue lysate containing immune adjuvant (protein concentration 50 mg / mL) is added and reacted at room temperature for 10 min to obtain a frozen siliconized nanovaccine loaded with lysate inside and outside. The average particle size of the nanovaccine is about 250nm, and the surface potential of the nanovaccine is about -3mV; each 1mg PLGA nanoparticle is loaded with about 210μg protein or polypeptide components, and the poly(I:C) immune adjuvant used inside and outside each 1mg PLGA nanoparticle is about 0.02mg, and half is inside and half is outside.
[0207] The steps for preparing the nanovaccine with only cationic addition treatment are basically the same as those for the nanovaccines with two modified treatments, except that there is no low-temperature silicification and only the step of adding charged substances. During the preparation process, the antigen was first loaded inside the nanoparticles by the double emulsion method. After the antigen (lysis component) was loaded inside, the nanoparticles were centrifuged at 10,000 g for 20 minutes, and then the nanoparticles were resuspended with 7 mL of PBS and mixed with 3 mL of PBS solution containing cell lysate (50 mg / mL), and then centrifuged at 10,000 g for 20 minutes, and then resuspended with 3 mL of PBS containing protamine (5 mg / mL) and polylysine (10 mg / mL) and acted for 10 min, and then centrifuged at 10,000 g for 20 minutes to wash, and resuspended with 10 mL of PBS solution containing cell lysate (50 mg / mL) and acted for 10 min, and then centrifuged at 10,000 g for 20 minutes and resuspended with 10 mL of ultrapure water containing 4% trehalose and freeze-dried for 48 h; before the vaccine was injected, it was resuspended with 7 mL of PBS and then 3 mL of cancer tissue lysate component containing immune adjuvant (protein concentration 50 mg / mL) was added and acted at room temperature for 10 min to obtain a cationic-modified nanovaccine loaded with lysate inside and outside. The average particle size of the nano vaccine is about 240nm, and the surface potential of the nano vaccine is about -3mV; each 1mg of PLGA nanoparticles is loaded with about 220μg of protein or polypeptide components, and the poly(I:C) immune adjuvant used inside and outside each 1mg of PLGA nanoparticles is about 0.02mg in total, with half inside and half outside.
[0208] The preparation method of the unmodified nano vaccine is the same as that of Example 1. The average particle size of the nano vaccine is about 230 nm, and the surface potential of the nano vaccine is about -5 mV; each 1 mg of PLGA nanoparticles is loaded with about 180 μg of protein or polypeptide components, and each 1 mg of PLGA nanoparticles contains about 0.02 mg of poly(I:C) immune adjuvant, half of which is used inside and half outside.

[0210] The control groups of this study were PBS group, frozen siliconized modified vaccine group and cationic modified vaccine group. Female C57BL / 6 mice aged 6-8 weeks were selected as model mice to prepare melanoma-bearing mice.
[0211] The dosing schedule for the nano-vaccine group was as follows: on day 0, each mouse was subcutaneously inoculated with 1.5 × 10 5B16F10 cells were subcutaneously injected with 200 μL of 2 mg PLGA nanovaccine loaded with water-soluble components in the lysate and 200 μL of 2 mg PLGA nanovaccine loaded with original water-insoluble components dissolved in 8 M urea on the 4th, 7th, 10th, 13th, 16th, 19th, 24th and 29th days after melanoma inoculation.
[0212] The PBS control group was administered as follows: On day 0, each mouse was subcutaneously inoculated with 1.5 × 10 5 B16F10 cells were subcutaneously injected with 400 μL PBS on days 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 24, and 29 after melanoma inoculation.
[0213] In the experiment, the size of the mouse tumor volume was recorded every 3 days starting from the 3rd day. The tumor volume was calculated using the formula v =0.52×a×b 2 Calculate, where v is the tumor volume, a is the tumor length, b is the width of the tumor. For animal experiment ethics, in the mouse survival test, when the tumor volume of the mouse exceeded 2000 mm 3 The mice were considered dead and euthanized.
[0214] (4) Experimental results
[0215] like Fig.16 As shown, the tumors of mice in the PBS control group grew quickly and all died within 27 days. The tumor growth rate of mice in each vaccine treatment group was significantly slowed down. About 20% of the mice in the vaccine group that did not undergo any modification during the preparation of the nanovaccine recovered after treatment; about 30% of the mice in the vaccine treatment group that were modified by siliconization or adding cationic modification recovered; and about 50% of the mice in the vaccine treatment group that were modified by siliconization and adding cationic modification recovered. In summary, the nanovaccine modified by siliconization and adding cationic substances in the present invention has a good therapeutic effect on melanoma, and its therapeutic effect is better because it can load more antigens after modification.

The mixture was then centrifuged at 10,000 g for 20 min, washed with ultrapure water, resuspended in 3 mL of PBS containing protamine (5 mg / mL) and polylysine (10 mg / mL) and allowed to react for 10 min, then centrifuged at 10,000 g for 20 min, washed, resuspended in 10 mL of PBS solution containing cell lysate (50 mg / mL) and allowed to react for 10 min, the supernatant was discarded, the precipitate was resuspended in 10 mL of ultrapure water containing 4% trehalose and freeze-dried for 48 h; before vaccine injection, it was resuspended in 7 mL of PBS and then 3 mL of cancer tissue lysate component containing immune adjuvant (protein concentration 50 mg / mL) was added and allowed to react at room temperature for 10 min to obtain a nanovaccine loaded with lysate both inside and outside. The average particle size of the nano vaccine is about 250nm, and the surface potential of the nano vaccine is about -3mV; each 1mg of PLGA nanoparticles is loaded with about 230μg of protein or polypeptide components, and the poly(I:C) immune adjuvant used inside and outside each 1mg of PLGA nanoparticles is about 0.02mg in total, with half inside and half outside.

The tumor volume was calculated using the formula v =0.52×a×b 2 Calculate, where v is the tumor volume, a is the tumor length, b is the width of the tumor. For animal experiment ethics, in the mouse survival test, when the tumor volume of the mouse exceeded 2000 mm 3 The mice were considered dead and euthanized.
[0229] (4) Experimental results
[0230] like Fig.17 As shown, the tumors of mice in the PBS control group grew quickly and all died within 27 days. The tumor growth rate of mice in each vaccine treatment group was significantly slowed down. About 20% of the mice in the vaccine group that did not undergo any modification during the preparation of the nanovaccine recovered after treatment; about 30% of the mice in the vaccine treatment group that were treated with calcification and added cations recovered; and about 50% of the mice in the vaccine treatment group that were treated with both silicification and added cations recovered. In summary, the nanovaccine treated with calcification or silicification in the present invention has a good therapeutic effect on melanoma, and low-temperature silicification and added cation treatment can load more antigens and have better therapeutic effects.
