Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biomedical materials, and specifically relates to a preparation method and application of a polypeptide-modified nucleic acid and chemical drug co-delivery carrier targeting prostate cancer, and specifically relates to a prostate cancer targeted delivery system composed of a polypeptide dimer connected with polyethylene glycol-polyaspartic acid and its application. Background Art

[0002] Prostate cancer is a malignant solid tumor with obvious heterogeneity. It has an insidious onset and no obvious specific symptoms in the early stage. It is one of the most common malignant tumors of the male urogenital system. Prostate cancer is hormone-dependent. Androgens bind to androgen receptors in prostate cancer cells to stimulate the growth of prostate cancer cells. Androgen deprivation therapy treats prostate cancer by blocking testicular androgens. However, as the disease progresses, the androgen receptor signaling pathway can still activate the pathway through direct and indirect reactivation mechanisms to promote disease progression.

[0003] In the early stage of tumor treatment, chemical drugs were mainly used, but their high toxicity to normal tissues limited their application. Small interfering RNA (siRNA), as a gene drug, is a new treatment model. siRNA induces RNA interference (RNAi) effect in vivo, specifically "silencing" pathogenic genes and playing a role in disease treatment. Chemical drugs and siRNA can play a synergistic role in tumor treatment and have a dual inhibitory effect on the proliferation of tumor cells.

[0004] Polyethyleneimine (PEI) is a cationic polymer rich in amino groups, which can effectively compress negatively charged genes and deliver them into cells. At the same time, the "proton sponge" property of PEI helps genes escape from lysosomes in cells and eventually enter the nucleus. The cytotoxicity of PEI is the main obstacle to its application. Many studies have shown that after PEI is modified, the cytotoxicity is greatly reduced and the transfection efficiency is less affected. Polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) is a biodegradable high molecular organic compound with good biocompatibility. It is a medical material approved by the US FDA. The cytotoxicity of PEI modified by PLGA is reduced, and PEI-PLGA can achieve the co-loading of genes and drugs. PLGA, as a hydrophobic core, can encapsulate lipophilic drugs, and PEI, as a hydrophilic shell, can bind to negatively charged genes. The use of polyethylene glycol-polyaspartic acid (PEG-PLD), on the one hand, polyethylene glycol (PEG) can achieve long circulation of nanoparticles in the body, and at the same time, polyaspartic acid (PLD) is pH sensitive, which is conducive to the passive targeting of nanoparticles to tumor sites.

[0005] The peptide (WQPDTAHHWATL) is a linear peptide that can selectively bind to the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) on the membrane of prostate cancer cells, which was screened by the phage library of Johns Hopkins University in the United States. Its dimer shows high affinity for PSMA. Using this peptide dimer as a target head can achieve active targeting of prostate cancer tissue. Summary of the invention
