Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to biological and new medical technology, and specifically relates to a small molecule probe for extracting and purifying mitochondria, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Aging is a major risk factor for many chronic diseases. Faced with my country's increasingly aging society, various chronic diseases will place a heavy burden on families and society. For neurodegenerative diseases alone, the prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases among those aged 65 and older is estimated to be approximately 10%, and this rate increases with age. Mitochondria, as one of the most important organelles within cells, play a crucial role in basic cellular function and survival. As the cell's "powerhouse," mitochondria primarily produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the essential energy storage molecule required for cell survival, through oxidative phosphorylation. Furthermore, when damaged, mitochondria release reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cytochrome C, among other signals that promote apoptosis. Therefore, disruption of mitochondrial homeostasis can lead to cellular ATP deficiency and mitochondrial damage, which can result in excessive ROS or insufficient cellular energy supply, ultimately leading to cell death. Numerous studies have demonstrated that mitochondrial damage plays a key role in the development and progression of many chronic diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. However, the current standard treatment for mitochondrial damage mainly focuses on addressing disease symptoms, such as antioxidants, but most of these treatments only treat the symptoms and not the root cause, and there is a lack of clear clinical data to support the effectiveness of these treatments.
[0003] As an emerging therapeutic technology, cell therapy has great application prospects. The cell therapy solution for mitochondrial damage is to inject healthy mitochondria directly into the mitochondrially damaged tissue. Animal experiments have shown that freshly extracted mitochondria can be taken up by cardiomyocytes after being injected into mouse heart tissue, and significantly enhance cardiac activity. Therefore, mitochondrial-based cell therapy has very broad application prospects, and obtaining highly active and high-purity mitochondria is a crucial part of mitochondrial cell therapy.
[0004] Currently, various methods for obtaining high-purity mitochondria have been reported. The most widely used method is fractionation, which uses an ultrahigh-speed centrifuge to separate and purify different organelles and components in a cell lysate. However, differential centrifugation (GC) requires high instrumentation and experimental personnel, and the extracted mitochondria often contain contaminants such as lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, and peroxisomes.
[0005] Recently, several research groups have used antibodies targeting the mitochondrial membrane protein TOM22 to specifically and non-covalently bind mitochondria from cell lysates. These methods significantly improve the purity of mitochondrial extraction and simplify the process, avoiding the use of ultracentrifuges and the complex and unstable experimental procedures. They also utilize magnetic beads and magnetic fields to effectively purify captured mitochondria. However, these methods also have drawbacks that limit their further application in mitochondrial implantation and future industrialization. First, the preparation and transportation costs of antibody- and peptide-based mitochondrial targeting moieties are high. Second, after mitochondrial purification, a strong, irreversible bond is formed between the mitochondria and the magnetic beads. Furthermore, as the magnetic beads are non-biodegradable, the extent to which the mitochondria-antibody-magnetic bead conjugate affects the activity of the retrieved mitochondria remains unknown. Furthermore, the large size and non-biodegradable nature of the magnetic beads during subsequent mitochondrial implantation also pose safety risks to the target cells and tissues. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem that mitochondria cannot be effectively separated from the magnetic beads and have low biocompatibility when currently using magnetic beads to extract mitochondria, which limits mitochondrial implantation and future industrial development, and to provide a small molecule probe for extracting and purifying mitochondria, as well as its preparation method and application.

By combining the photo-cleavable group with the mitochondrial targeting group, a multifunctional mitochondrial-targeting small molecule probe was designed, thereby solving the problem of the magnetic beads being unable to be separated from the mitochondria in the current mitochondrial magnetic bead extraction method.

[0058] The method for preparing the TPP-magnetic beads with mitochondrial targeting function is special in that it comprises the following steps:
[0059] S1. Wash the amino magnetic beads 2-4 times (preferably 2 times) with DMSO under a strong magnetic field, and then wash them 1-2 times (preferably 1 time) with anhydrous DMF; then disperse the amino magnetic beads in anhydrous DMF, add TEA and DBCO-NHS solution, and sonicate to obtain DBCO-magnetic beads;
[0060] S2. The DBCO-magnetic beads are first washed with DMF 2-4 times under a strong magnetic field, and then dispersed in DMF. The multifunctional mitochondrial-targeting small molecule probe according to claim 1 is then added and connected by non-copper click chemistry to obtain TPP-magnetic beads.

[0067] A4. Irradiate the cell lysate obtained in A3 with ultraviolet light at a wavelength of 365-400 nm (at least 100 J), causing the nitro group on the benzene ring of the small molecule to transfer electrons to the adjacent position, breaking it to form a carbonyl group, thereby detaching the magnetic beads. A strong magnetic field is then used to separate the magnetic beads from the mitochondria attached to the small molecule, and the supernatant is collected to obtain high-purity mitochondria.

A strong magnetic field is then used to separate the magnetic beads from the mitochondria attached to the small molecule, and the supernatant is collected to obtain high-purity mitochondria.
[0072] Mechanism of the present invention:
[0073] After the small molecule probe of the present invention comes into contact with mitochondria, it can efficiently capture mitochondria (78% mitochondrial capture is achieved for every 250 mg of magnetic beads) through a bioorthogonal reaction with the magnetic beads, and responsively dissociate the mitochondria from the magnetic beads under light-induced conditions, thereby achieving mitochondrial extraction and purification, and ultimately providing a key basis for mitochondrial implantation therapy. That is, the present invention designs a targeted small molecule probe that separates the extracted mitochondria and magnetic beads through light control (ultraviolet with a wavelength of 365-400nm), thereby reducing the interference of magnetic beads on subsequent experiments and the impact of mitochondrial activity; compared with the currently commonly used commercial kits, the extraction purity is higher, the quantity is larger, and the activity of the mitochondria is not affected.
[0074] The advantages of the present invention are:
[0075] 1. The raw materials for synthesizing the small molecule probe of the present invention are readily available, low in cost, and the synthesis steps are simple. In addition, due to the polyethylene glycol linker, the small molecule probe has good solubility (10 mg / mL in DMSO and 1 mg / mL in water), and can be directly used for the extraction and purification of mitochondria in biological samples, making its commercialization possible.
[0076] 2. The multifunctional mitochondrial-targeting small molecule probe of the present invention can simultaneously achieve mitochondrial targeting and light-induced release, solving the current problem that magnetic beads cannot be separated from mitochondria. It is the design that has the least impact on mitochondria.

[0088] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0089] The mechanism of extracting and purifying mitochondria of the present invention is as follows: Figure 1 As shown; specifically including:
[0090] 1. Synthesis of the multifunctional mitochondrial-targeting small molecule probe HW1
[0091] The present invention intends to design and synthesize a small molecule probe, the design molecular structure and synthesis process of the probe are as follows Figure 2 As shown, the main components include 1) mitochondrial targeting group, 2) polyethylene glycol linking group, 3) light-controllable cleavage group, 4) and azide group for non-copper catalyzed click chemistry, which are bonded in sequence. The synthesis part is relatively simple and clear, and the target probe can be obtained relatively quickly. Among them, the mitochondrial targeting group is triphenylphosphine (TPP) for mitochondria, which targets the mitochondrial membrane potential with high selectivity, and compared with antibodies, small molecule TPP has the advantages of simplicity, stability and low price in synthesis, transportation and preparation. Another important part is the light-controllable cleavage group. Under the irradiation of UV = 365-400nm ultraviolet light, the nitro group on the benzene ring undergoes electron transfer to produce CO2 and amino group, which breaks it and separates the mitochondria from the magnetic beads ( Figure 3 Although the mitochondrial targeting group and the photo-controlled cleavage group can be directly linked, the proximity of the mitochondrial targeting group to the magnetic beads after connection can affect the targeting of the mitochondrial targeting group and thus the extraction of mitochondria. Therefore, a polyethylene glycol linker was introduced to connect the mitochondrial targeting group and the photo-controlled cleavage group. This design not only ensures the success rate of mitochondrial extraction, but also improves the solubility of the small molecule probe.
[0092] This method will solve the current problems of mitochondria extracted using magnetic beads that cannot be effectively separated from the magnetic beads and have low biocompatibility.
[0093] 2. Surface chemical modification of nanomagnetic beads
[0094] Amino-modified magnetic beads are superparamagnetic functionalized magnetic microspheres. Compared to traditional magnetic beads, they exhibit faster magnetic responsiveness while maintaining excellent dispersibility, extremely low nonspecific adsorption, and a richer array of binding sites. They can efficiently and conveniently bind to a variety of ligands at high loadings using specialized chemical reagents. They serve as an excellent base material for subsequent processing such as coating, adsorption, and chemical modification, making them an important carrier tool in medical and molecular biology research.
[0095] Therefore, the present invention uses amino-modified magnetic beads produced by Biomag Biotech as a carrier tool. The beads have a polystyrene surface and a superparamagnetic ferroferric oxide core. In this example, the particle size selected is 200 nm, the sedimentation coefficient is 3-6 seconds, and the immunochemiluminescence detection curve has an R value > 0.99000.
[0096] First, DBCO-NHS was connected to amino-modified magnetic beads to obtain DBCO-magnetic beads; then, the synthesized small molecule probe HW1 was connected to the DBCO-magnetic beads using non-copper click chemistry to finally obtain TPP-magnetic beads with mitochondrial targeting function.
[0097] 3. Mitochondrial Capture Based on Multifunctional Mitochondrial-Targeted Small Molecule Probes
[0098] The current commercial method for extracting mitochondria is to first separate the organelle layers of the cell lysate through multiple fraction centrifugation to obtain mitochondria. Figure 4 As shown, different from the commercial method of extracting mitochondria, the present invention adopts two other methods.
[0099] The first method is to first connect the connected DBCO-magnetic beads to the small molecule probe HW1 outside the cell using non-copper click chemistry, and then incubate with cell lysate for a period of time to achieve the purpose of capturing mitochondria;
[0100] The second method is to first co-culture the small molecule probe HW1 with living cells for a period of time, then lyse the cells, and then add DBCO-magnetic beads to connect them through non-copper click chemistry to achieve the purpose of capturing mitochondria.
[0101] IV. Mitochondrial Purification and Photocontrolled Release
[0102] The two methods mentioned above use a strong magnetic field to attract magnetic beads and separate the mitochondria captured by the magnetic beads from other components of the cell lysate; then, by ultraviolet irradiation at UV = 365-400nm, the nitro electrons on the benzene ring of the small molecule are transferred to the adjacent position to form a carbonyl group, thereby detaching the magnetic beads; finally, a strong magnetic field is used to separate the magnetic beads from the mitochondria connected to the small molecule, and the supernatant is taken to obtain high-purity mitochondria. The principle of optical sectioning is as follows Figure 3 shown.
[0103] V. Functional Characterization of Purified Mitochondria
[0104] Purified mitochondrial activity is tested using a purchased ATP kit. This qualitative analysis is based on the amount of ATP produced by the purified, high-purity mitochondria. Mitochondrial activity is then assessed by transplanting the purified, high-purity mitochondria into cells with mitochondrial defects. Cell survival, intracellular ATP production, and changes in several other markers closely related to mitochondrial activity are then observed to determine mitochondrial activity. Specific embodiments

[0123] 9) Synthesis of DBCO-magnetic beads and TPP-magnetic beads
[0124] Take 50 μL from 50 mg / mL amino magnetic beads, wash twice with 500 μL DMSO under a strong magnetic field, and then wash once with 500 μL anhydrous DMF.

[0126] 10) Cell culture
[0127] Human HepG-2 hepatocellular carcinoma cells transfected with mitochondria-specific green fluorescent protein (GFP) were cultured in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 1% streptomycin, and penicillin in a 37°C incubator containing 5% CO₂. This cell line constitutively expresses mitochondria-targeted GFP, resulting in green fluorescence (FITC channel) in the mitochondria within the cells, facilitating quantification of extracted mitochondria.
[0128] 11) Mitochondrial extraction experiment
[0129] Three groups were designed for each experiment, including a control group (commercial extraction tool), experimental group 1 and experimental group 2. Except for the different methods used in the extraction process, other conditions remained the same.
[0130] HepG-2 cells in the same batch of culture medium were divided into three parts, one of which was co-cultured with the small molecule probe HW1 for 12 hours, and then the three parts of cells were lysed at the same time to obtain the corresponding cell lysates.
[0131] Control group: The obtained cell lysate was centrifuged for the first time to separate the cell debris from the organelles, and the supernatant was taken; then the mitochondria were separated from other organelles by centrifugation for the second time, and the precipitate was taken; the precipitate was divided into two parts, one part of 70 μL was used to test the mitochondrial activity, and the other part of 200 μL was used to detect the number of mitochondria.
[0132] Experimental Group 1: The TPP-magnetic beads synthesized outside the cells were washed twice with DMSO and once with PBS, and then added to the cell lysate and incubated in a constant temperature oscillator at 4°C for 60 minutes; the magnetic beads with mitochondria captured were then separated from other components of the cell lysate using a strong magnetic field; the magnetic beads with mitochondria captured were then divided into 70 μL for testing mitochondrial activity and 200 μL for detecting the number of mitochondria; the two parts of magnetic beads with mitochondria were then redispersed in the mitochondrial buffer and subjected to ultraviolet shear irradiation for 10 minutes at a low temperature; the supernatant was then separated under the action of a strong magnetic field to obtain the two parts of liquid to be tested.
[0133] Experimental Group 2: This portion of cells was co-cultured with HW1 for 12 h before cell lysis, and then lysed at the same time as the above two groups. DBCO-magnetic beads were then added to the cell lysate, and the cells were also incubated in a constant temperature oscillator at 4°C for 60 min. Subsequent operations were the same as those in Experimental Group 1.
[0134] 12) Mitochondrial activity test and its principle
[0135] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the mitochondrial activity assay system utilizes the properties of a proprietary thermostable luciferase to enable reaction conditions that produce a stable "luminescent" luminescent signal while inhibiting endogenous enzymes (such as ATPase) released during cell lysis. The release of ATPase would interfere with accurate ATP measurement. The properties of the reagent overcome the problems caused by factors such as ATPase that interfere with ATP.
[0136] In order to verify the extraction method of the present invention and the extraction method of the existing kit, the number and purity of the extracted mitochondria were also analyzed, and the results are as follows:
[0137] like Figure 7 As shown, AB represents the purity of mitochondria extracted from experimental group 1 measured by flow cytometry; CD represents the purity of mitochondria extracted by a commercial kit (control group) measured by flow cytometry. From left to right, the pictures are: the size (y-axis) and GPF signal (x-axis) distribution of all particles detected by flow cytometry, where the P2 gate represents the detection of mitochondria in all particles, and the P1 gate represents the detection of cell fragments in all particles; the distribution of GFP (i.e. FITC) signal intensity of particles in the P1 gate; the distribution of GFP signal intensity of particles in the P2 gate; the distribution of GFP signal intensity of particles in the integrated P1 and P2 gates. The proportion of P2 gate (i.e. mitochondrial purity) and the number of mitochondria (i.e. total number of particles * P2 gate proportion) in the figure were further extracted and analyzed, and displayed respectively. Figure 8 and Figure 9 As can be seen from the figure, the mitochondria extracted by the present invention are far superior to the mitochondrial extraction kits currently on the market in terms of purity (>2 times) and efficiency (>10 times).
[0138] Figure 8 Figure 3 is a graph showing the proportion of mitochondrial components in the extracted solution system based on flow cytometric analysis. A higher mitochondrial proportion indicates a higher purity of the extracted mitochondria. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation (N=4). Student's t-test, P**<0.01. This data shows that the purity of mitochondria extracted by the present invention is significantly higher than the concentration of mitochondria extracted using a commercial kit.
[0139] Figure 9 This is the ratio of mitochondrial numbers extracted from the same number of cells, as analyzed by flow cytometry. A higher mitochondrial count indicates a higher extraction efficiency. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation (N = 2). Student's t-test, P** < 0.1. This data demonstrates that the extraction efficiency of the present invention is significantly higher than that of commercial kits.
[0140] Figure 10 To utilize Figure 1. Mitochondrial activity obtained using the two reagents. Data are presented as mean ± SD (N = 2). Student's t-test, ns: not significant. At the same mitochondrial concentration, the mitochondrial ATP synthesis capacity extracted by the two methods was similar.
[0141] In addition to the above embodiments, the present invention also carries out other embodiments within the aforementioned process range. The synthesized small molecule probes can solve the problem that the current magnetic beads cannot be separated from mitochondria, and have excellent development prospects.
[0142] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with this technical field can easily think of various equivalent modifications or replacements within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention, and these modifications or replacements should all be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
