Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of biomedicine, and specifically relates to a bionic nanoliposome preparation for inhibiting PCSK9, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) has surpassed infectious diseases to become the world's number one killer. Abnormal blood lipid metabolism is an important risk factor in the development of coronary heart disease, among which elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels occupy a core position. The "China Cardiovascular Health and Disease Report 2019" pointed out that the number of people with dyslipidemia in my country has increased significantly, while the awareness, treatment and control rates are still at a low level overall. In the 10-year high-risk population for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), the LDL-C treatment rate was 5.5% and the compliance rate was 25.5%; while in the extremely high-risk population, the LDL-C treatment rate was only 14.5%, and the compliance rate was even lower at only 6.8%. The 2020 "Chinese Expert Consensus on Blood Lipid Management in Patients with Ultra-High-Risk Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease" pointed out that for ultra-high-risk ASCVD patients, intensive lipid-lowering therapy can achieve a lower LDL-C target value or even control it below 1.0mmol / L, which can bring significant cardiovascular benefits.

[0003] Evolocumab is a new type of biological monoclonal antibody preparation, with the trade name Repatha. It is a human monoclonal immunoglobulin G2 (IgG2) that targets human proprotein convertase subtilisin / kexin type 9 (PCSK9), binds to PCSK9, and inhibits the binding of circulating PCSK9 to the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), thereby preventing PCSK9-mediated LDLR degradation, allowing LDLR to recirculate to the surface of liver cells, resulting in an increase in the number of LDLRs that can clear low-density lipoprotein in the blood, thereby lowering LDL-C levels. Eloumab was approved for marketing by the National Medical Products Administration in 2018, becoming the first and only PCSK9 inhibitor approved in China for the treatment of homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia in adults or adolescents aged 12 years and above; it was approved for use in adult patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in 2019; in the same year, it was approved again for broader indications, becoming the first PCSK9 inhibitor approved in China for use in adult patients with primary hypercholesterolemia (including heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia) and mixed dyslipidemia.

[0004] While evolocumab shows good therapeutic prospects, its adverse reactions are also increasingly concerned. In clinical research reports, the common side effects of the drug are upper respiratory tract infection, influenza, gastroenteritis, and nasopharyngitis, followed by local injection site reactions and allergic reactions. The most common adverse reaction that led to the discontinuation of Repatha and had a higher incidence than the placebo group was myalgia.

[0005] Given the adverse reactions caused by the high dosage of systemic evolocumab and the limitations of its administration method, how to reduce the dosage without affecting the efficacy and reduce side effects is the key to the current use of this drug to treat atherosclerosis.

[0006] The development of nanotechnology has brought hope for solving this medical problem. Nanoliposomes are liposomes that use a phospholipid bilayer biomembrane structure to improve bioavailability and maintain their original performance by encapsulating active substances. In addition, due to their small size and surface effects, they can also enhance the contact between substances and cells and improve targeting. However, after entering the body, due to the effects of various factors such as albumin, opsonins, and antibodies in the blood, the liposomes rupture, the encapsulated drugs leak rapidly, and are quickly recognized and absorbed by the reticuloendothelial system, limiting its "missile" function. For this reason, polyethylene glycol (PEG) modification is needed to avoid the surveillance of the reticuloendothelial phagocytic system, increase the stability of liposomes in the blood, and prolong the half-life of the drug. On the other hand, by encapsulating the macrophage membrane, the characteristic proteins on the cell membrane can help the liposomes escape the clearance of the body's immune system, and at the same time achieve the effect of using inflammatory chemotaxis to treat atherosclerosis. Summary of the invention

[0007] In view of this, the present invention provides a bionic nanoliposome preparation for inhibiting PCSK9 and a preparation method and application thereof. The bionic nanoliposome preparation for inhibiting PCSK9 can deliver liposome-entrapped evolocumab in a targeted sustained-release manner, prolong the blood residence time, reduce the dosage of the drug, and effectively reduce the expression level of PCSK9, thereby alleviating the progression of atherosclerosis.

[0049] Example 1

[0050] (1) Preparation of (Lipo+M)@E biomimetic nanoparticles

[0051] a. Preparation of biomimetic cell membrane (M)

[0052] The preparation of macrophage (RAW264.7 cell) membrane was carried out according to the instructions of the membrane protein extraction preparation kit. When the RAW264.7 cells in the cell culture dish were full, the cells were washed three times with PBS, scraped with a cell scraper, and centrifuged at 800rpm for 5min. The collected cells were washed twice with PBS (pH7.4) at 4°C, and then suspended in membrane protein extractant A containing PMSF (1mM). The mixture was lysed in an ice bath for 30min, and the probe was sonicated at 4°C for 10min (80W, on 0.3s, off 0.5s). Then it was frozen and thawed repeatedly at 37°C and -80°C for 5 times, each time for 20-30min. Then it was centrifuged at 4°C, 800rpm for 10min. The supernatant was taken and centrifuged at 4°C, 13000rpm for 30min to obtain the macrophage membrane.

[0053] b. Preparation of Lipo@E, in this application, Lipo refers to a separate liposome already available in the prior art, used as a control example;

[0054] Weigh 20 mg of soybean lecithin, 9 mg of cholesterol, and 6 mg of DSPE-PEG2000-NH2 and dissolve them in 13 ml of solvent, including 4 ml of chloroform, 6 ml of ether, and 3 ml of ultrapure water; dilute eloumab to a 10 mg / ml solution, slowly add it to the lipid solution with a syringe, and ultrasonicate it in a water bath for 5 minutes to form a W / O type emulsion. The obtained emulsion is required not to be stratified within half an hour. The obtained emulsion is placed in a rotary evaporator at 37°C and evaporated under reduced pressure to remove the organic solvent. After reaching a colloidal state, 30 ml of hydration medium is added, and the remaining organic solvent is continued to be distilled under reduced pressure. Rotate and hydrate until the gel on the bottle wall falls off, and pass through a 0.22 μm microporous filter membrane to obtain nanoliposomes that inhibit PCSK9. The unencapsulated free antibody is separated by dialysis.

[0055] c. Preparation of (Lipo+M)@E bionic nanoformulation;

[0056] The macrophage membrane obtained above was dissolved into 1 mg / ml, and the Lipo@E solution was mixed with the bionic cell membrane (M) after water bath ultrasonic treatment at a mass ratio of 10:1, and stirred in a water bath at 800 rpm for 1 hour at 37°C to obtain the (Lipo+M)@E bionic nanoformulation;

[0057] (2) Characterization of (Lipo+M)@E biomimetic nanoformulation

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, the Lipo, Lipo@E and (Lipo+M)@E biomimetic nanoparticles prepared in this example were subjected to DLS particle size analysis. The results showed that uniformly dispersed spherical Lipo materials and (Lipo+M)@E biomimetic nanoparticles were successfully prepared, with particle sizes of about 100nm and 200nm, respectively.

[0059] like Figure 2 As shown, the bionic cell membrane prepared in this example was subjected to membrane characteristic protein analysis, and the results showed that the bionic membrane was successfully prepared.

[0060] like Figure 3 As shown, the particle size potential analysis of Lipo, Lipo@E and (Lipo+M)@E was performed by DLS, and the results showed that the average particle size of (Lipo+M)@E was 180nm and the potential condition was good.

[0061] like Figure 5 As shown in the figure, compared with Lipo@E, the cumulative release of Evol is reduced after being wrapped by the bionic cell membrane, indicating that the prepared bionic nanoformulation achieves sustained release.

[0062] Example 2

[0063] A biomimetic nanoliposome preparation for inhibiting PCSK9, which is different from Example 1 in that when preparing the nanoliposomes encapsulating evolocumab, the mass ratio of phospholipid to antibody is 1:1.

[0064] Example 3

[0065] A biomimetic nanoliposome preparation for inhibiting PCSK9, which is different from Example 1 in that when preparing the nanoliposomes encapsulating evolocumab, the mass ratio of phospholipid to antibody is 5:1.

[0066] Example 4

[0067] A biomimetic nanoliposome preparation for inhibiting PCSK9, which is different from Example 1 in that the mass ratio of lecithin to DSPE-PEG2000-NH2 is 10:6.

[0069] A biomimetic nanoliposome preparation for inhibiting PCSK9, which is different from Example 1 in that dialysis is performed using a dialysis bag with a molecular weight cutoff of 200-300 kDa for 36 hours.

[0070] Example 6

[0071] A bionic nanoliposome preparation for inhibiting PCSK9 is different from Example 1 in that when preparing the bionic macrophage membrane-wrapped nanoliposome-encapsulated drug, the mass ratio of phospholipid to macrophage membrane is 5:1.

[0072] Example 7

[0073] The present invention provides a bionic nanoliposome preparation for inhibiting PCSK9 and its application in the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis. The (Lipo+M)@E bionic nano preparation prepared in Example 1 is used as an example to illustrate the effect.

[0074] like Figure 4 As shown, blank liposomes and nanoliposomes wrapped by biomimetic macrophage membranes were labeled with Dil, added to smooth muscle cells, and lysosomes were labeled with lysosome probes. The uptake of biomimetic nanoliposomes and their lysosomal escape ability were observed using confocal microscopy. The results showed that the uptake of (Lipo+M)@E by smooth muscle cells was concentration-dependent, and the uptake of lysosomes was effectively avoided, protecting eloumab from damage by the slightly acidic environment.

[0075] The above results indicate that the (Lipo+M)@E biomimetic nanoliposome preparation prepared in Example 1 can escape clearance by the immune system in the circulation and escape uptake by lysosomes after entering cells.

[0076] Example 8

[0077] like Figure 6 As shown, each group of nanomedicines prepared in Example 1 was added to LPS-intervention smooth muscle cells, and the effect of (Lipo+M)@E on PCSK9 expression was observed by protein immunoblotting. The results showed that (Lipo+M)@E significantly reduced the expression of PCSK9.

[0078] like Figure 7 As shown, each group of nanomedicines prepared in Example 1 was added to LPS-intervention smooth muscle cells, and the effect of (Lipo+M)@E on PCSK9 expression was observed by immunofluorescence. The results showed that (Lipo+M)@E significantly reduced the expression of PCSK9.

[0079] Example 9

[0080] The (Lipo+M)@E bionic nanoliposome preparation prepared in Example 1 was used to measure the blood half-life and in vivo targeting of the (Lipo+M)@E bionic nanoliposome preparation in mice by detecting the fluorescence intensity through in vivo imaging of small animals.

[0081] Experiment 1: Take 250ul Lipo (4mg / ml), 40ul dihydrochlorin (Ce6) (1mg / ml), add 1710ul double distilled water, place the mixture at 4℃800-1000rpm and stir overnight to obtain Lipo@Ce6. Take 250ul Lipo (4mg / ml), 40ul dihydrochlorin (Ce6) (1mg / ml), 50ul macrophage membrane, add 1660ul double distilled water, place the mixture at 4℃800-1000rpm and stir overnight to obtain (Lipo+M)@Ce6. Prepare 1mg / ml Ce6 for control experiment.

[0082] Ce6, Lipo@Ce6 and (Lipo+M)@Ce6 prepared in Experiment 1 were injected into C57BL / 6 mice via the tail vein, 200 μl per mouse, and blood samples were collected from the eye sockets at different time points for fluorescence intensity measurement.

[0083] The results are as follows Figure 8 As shown, the fluorescence of the (Lipo+M)@Ce6 group was significantly prolonged compared with the Ce6 group and the Lipo@Ce6 group, indicating that the bionic nanoliposomes significantly prolonged the half-life in vivo.

[0084] Experiment 2: After ApoE- / - mice were fed a high-fat diet for one month, 200 μL of 10 mg / kg ICG, Lipo@ICG, and (Lipo+M)@ICG were injected into the tail vein. Twelve hours later, the aorta of the mice was taken for fluorescence imaging.

[0085] Among them, Lipo@ICG is prepared according to the following method:

[0086] Weigh 20 mg of soybean lecithin, 9 mg of cholesterol, and 6 mg of DSPE-PEG2000-NH2, mix and dissolve in 13 ml of solvent, the solvent includes 4 ml of chloroform, 6 ml of ether and 3 ml of ultrapure water; stir at room temperature for 15 minutes to fully dissolve, then add to a round-bottom flask and remove the organic solvent by reduced pressure evaporation at 37°C in a rotary evaporator, add the ICG solution to the above round-bottom flask, stir in water at 55°C for 4 hours, and ultrasonicate the probe in an ice bath for 10 minutes to obtain Lipo@ICG.

[0087] (Lipo+M)@ICG was prepared according to the following method:

[0088] The Lipo@ICG solution was mixed with the PBS solution containing macrophage membranes and the mixture was placed at 4°C. Fig. 9 As shown, compared with the ICG and Lipo@ICG groups, the (Lipo+M)@ICG group significantly aggregated in the aortic arch and abdominal aorta, indicating that the (Lipo+M)@E bionic nanoformulation prepared in Example 1 can effectively target the site of atherosclerotic plaques.

[0089] Example 10

[0090] The (Lipo+M)@E bionic nano preparation prepared in Example 1 is used for the early prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis.

[0091] After ApoE- / - mice were fed a high-fat diet for one month, they were given 5 mg / kg twice a week for 2 consecutive months, during which they maintained a high-fat diet; all were administered by tail vein injection, and the treatment groups were divided into Evol alone group, Lipo@E group and (Lipo+M)@E group. Three days after the end of the treatment, the aorta of the mice was stripped and macroscopic Oil Red O staining was performed to examine the therapeutic effects of the different treatment groups.

[0092] The results are as follows Fig.10 As shown, the (Lipo+M)@E treatment group significantly reduced the formation of atherosclerotic plaques in the treatment regimen, indicating that the bionic nanoformulation constructed by the present invention can effectively prevent the progression of early atherosclerosis.

[0093] Embodiment 11

[0094] Using the treatment scheme adopted in Example 10, after the treatment of ApoE- / - mice was completed, the frozen sections of the aortic root, arch and abdominal aorta of each group of mice were stained with Oil Red O, and the lipid staining was observed under an inverted microscope.

[0095] like Fig.11 As shown in the figure, the Oil Red O staining of the aortic root and arch of the abdominal aorta in the (Lipo+M)@E group was significantly reduced compared with the Evol group and the Lipo@E group, indicating that (Lipo+M)@E effectively removes lipids in various parts.

[0096] Example 12

[0097] Using the treatment scheme adopted in Example 10, after the treatment of ApoE- / - mice was completed, the serum of mice with different treatment components under different treatment schemes was collected to examine the expression of PCSK9 in the serum between different treatment groups.

[0098] The results are as follows Fig.12 As shown, the expression level of PCSK9 in serum of (Lipo+M)@E group was significantly lower than that of Evol group and Lipo@E group, indicating that (Lipo+M)@E effectively reduced the expression of PCSK9 in blood.

[0099] Example 12

[0100] Using the treatment regimen adopted in Example 10, after the treatment of ApoE- / - mice was completed, the main organs (heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney) of mice with different treatment components under different treatment regimens were collected for H&E staining to examine the biological safety of different treatment groups.

[0101] The results are as follows Fig.13 As shown, no obvious organic lesions were found in the organs of mice in different treatment groups, indicating that the bionic nano-preparation constructed by the present invention has good biosafety.
