Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of inflammatory disease drug preparation, and particularly relates to a mesenchymal stem cell exosome overexpressing Anxa1 and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Inflammation is accompanied by many diseases, and inflammation itself can manifest as redness, swelling, heat, pain and dysfunction. The factors causing inflammation can be pathogenic microbial infection, physical factors such as impact, tissue necrosis, allergy, etc. The above-mentioned typical diseases causing inflammation include soft tissue infection, neural inflammation after craniocerebral trauma, limb tissue necrotic inflammatory reaction caused by diabetes, rheumatism or rheumatoid arthritis. The incidence of rheumatism and rheumatoid arthritis is about 1% worldwide, and there is currently no effective treatment drug. Inflammatory response also greatly affects the course of the disease, and anti-inflammatory treatment often has a positive effect on the improvement or cure of the symptoms of such diseases. However, there are few anti-inflammatory drugs in clinical practice, and hormone drugs have large side effects. Therefore, we urgently need a highly effective and safe anti-inflammatory biological agent.
[0003] Stem cells have great prospects in the field of regenerative medicine, and they have been proven to participate in the repair of various tissues and organs, such as heart, liver, lung, kidney, and nerve. In recent years, umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been widely studied, which are a kind of multifunctional stem cells present in the umbilical cord of newborns. Exosomes are a kind of extracellular vesicles (EVs, double-layer lipid structure vesicles) secreted by cells. Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells can exert various biological effects by secreting exosomes, and exosomes can carry various functional molecules secreted by umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells. Exosomes are an important way of intercellular communication, and the diameter of exosomes is about 40-200 nm, and the main components include proteins and various types of nucleic acids. Although umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell exosomes can secrete certain tissue nutrients, their anti-inflammatory effect is still weak, and how to enhance the anti-inflammatory capacity of the exosomes is an important direction for the preparation of exosome drugs.
[0004] Annexins are a superfamily of calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding proteins, and studies have found that they are widely present in animals, plants and fungi in various organisms, and are expressed in almost all organs. ANXA1 is the first member of the family to be discovered, and is involved in anti-inflammatory response, cell differentiation and proliferation, cell death signal regulation, and phagocytosis of apoptotic cells, etc. ANXA1 mainly exerts anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting the migration of granulocytes, which has been verified in various established acute, chronic and even systemic inflammatory response models.
[0005] The content ANXA1 carried in the umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell exosome is less, so it is difficult to have a good therapeutic effect on inflammatory diseases. Therefore, increasing the content of Anxa1 in the umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell exosome is an important way to improve its clinical application value.

[0054] Example 1 Preparation of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell exosomes overexpressing Anxal
[0055] 1. Isolation and culture of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells
[0056] 1.1 Primary cells
[0057] Fresh, full-term healthy fetal umbilical cord specimens were obtained, immersed in PBS containing 1% penicillin and streptomycin, and placed on ice. The umbilical cord sample was voluntarily donated by the mother and her family, and the sample was applied in accordance with the ethical committee's specification for human specimen experiments. In a clean bench, the umbilical cord was cut into tissue blocks of 3 cm in size with an ophthalmic scissors, longitudinally cut, and washed with sterile PBS until no bloody liquid flowed out. The umbilical cord artery and vein were separated, and the outer membrane of the umbilical cord was peeled off, leaving the remaining tissue as Wharton's jelly. The Wharton's jelly tissue was cut into 1 mm 3 small pieces, transferred to mixed enzymes (0.2% type II collagenase, 0.2% type IV collagenase, 0.1% hyaluronidase, 0.1% trypsin, 15 U / ml DNase, which is prepared by mixing the components (enzymes) together to meet the above-mentioned concentration of each component (enzyme) in the Wharton's jelly tissue pieces), and digested at 37°C for 6h, with gentle shaking of the digestion solution every 30 minutes to allow mesenchymal stem cells to detach from the tissue pieces. The tissue digestion residue was filtered with a 70um filter, and the cell-containing filtrate was collected and centrifuged at 1500 rpm / min at 4°C for 5 minutes. The supernatant was discarded, and the cells at the bottom of the tube were umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (primary cells).
[0058] 1.2 Subculture cells
[0059] The umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were cultured in a phenol red-free serum-free medium (composition: DMEM medium, supplemented with 5 ml / L transferrin, 10 mg / L insulin, 10 ug / L bFGF, 10 ug / L bFGF, 10 ug / L EGF, 10 ug / L LIF, 20 ug / L SCF, 20 ug / L G--C-CSF, 25 mM L-glutamine), and the primary cells were inoculated in a T75 culture flask. The primary cells were left to stand for 7 days, and then the medium was changed for the first time. When the primary cells were close to 75%, they were digested with 0.25% trypsin and subcultured at a ratio of 1:3. When the subculture reached the third generation, the umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells obtained were used for subsequent experiments. The umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were observed and photographed under a light microscope. Figure 1
[0060] 1.3 Flow cytometry detection
[0061] The third generation of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells in good growth state were selected, and six cell surface molecules, i.e., CD29, CD34, CD44, CD45, CD90, and CD105, were detected by flow cytometry. The required amount of cells for each test group was 1.0 x 10 5 The CD29, CD44, CD90, and CD105 are marker proteins of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells, and the CD45 and CD34 are non-marker proteins of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells. The positive rates of the surface molecule markers were calculated. The results are shown in Table 1. The positive rates of CD29, CD44, CD90, and CD105 were all above 98.5%, and the positive cell rates of CD45 and CD34 were both less than 1%. Figure 2
[0062] 2. Synthesis, modification of Anxa1 mRNA, cell electroporation of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells, and culture and expansion in a 3D environment
[0063] 2.1 Synthesis of Anxa1 mRNA
[0064] The sequence of Anxa1 mRNA is shown in SEQ ID NO. 1. The complete sequence of Anxa1 mRNA was synthesized by gene synthesis method, and the synthesized Anxa1 mRNA sequence was verified by sequencing.
[0065] 2.2 Capping modification of Anxa1 mRNA using capping enzyme
[0066] Vaccinia Capping Enzyme (VCE) was used. Vaccinia virus can encode a 2'-O-methyltransferase enzyme that uses S-Adenosylmethionine (SAM) as a methyl donor to add a methyl group to the 2'-O site of the first nucleotide immediately adjacent to the cap structure (Cap0) at the 5' end of the RNA, forming mRNA with Cap1 structure.
[0067] 2.3 Tailing modification of Anxa1 mRNA using polyA
[0068] PolyA was linked to the 3'-end of the artificially synthesized Anxa1 messenger ribonucleic acid (Anxa1 mRNA).
[0069] 2.4 Pseudouridine modification of Anxa1 mRNA using N1-methyl-pseudouridine
[0070] The artificially synthesized Anxa1 messenger ribonucleic acid (Anxa1 mRNA) was modified with N1-methyl-pseudouridine.
[0071] 2.5 Cell electroporation of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells
[0072] Take 200 μl of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell suspension (cell amount is 4 x 10 5 6, add 20 μg of modified Anxa1 mRNA, and place the umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell suspension with modified Anxa1 mRNA into an electroporation cup. Turn on the power supply and connect the instrument. The parameters are set as follows: voltage 250 V, driving voltage 10-30 V, interval 125 ms, pulse time 1-30 ms, and cycle number 1-10.
[0073] 2.6 Culture and expansion in 3D environment
[0074] After electroporation, the cell suspension was dropped into 3D microcarriers (preparation method see Chinese patent CN113249311A), and then placed into a Tyiloong2.0 3D bioreactor produced by Shanghai Tang Yihuike Biological Engineering Equipment Co., Ltd. for mass expansion.
[0075] 3. Purification of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell exosomes overexpressing Anxa1
[0076] 3.1 After umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells have been cultured in a 3D bioreactor for 7 days, flow cytometry is used to detect the positive rate of CD29, CD44, CD90, and CD105 antibodies on the cell surface. When the cell positive rate exceeds 98%, the culture medium supernatant can be collected. Collect the cell and culture medium suspension, centrifuge at 1500rpm / min for 10 minutes, collect the supernatant after centrifugation, and discard the umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells. Then filter the supernatant with a sterile 0.45μm filter. Centrifuge the filtered supernatant three times at 4°C to remove cell debris. Collect the supernatant after each centrifugation. The centrifugal force is 3000g, 4000g, and 5000g, respectively, and the time is 30min each time. The supernatant after high-speed centrifugation was then subjected to two ultrahigh-speed centrifugations, the first at 10,000 g for 70 min. The supernatant after the first ultrahigh-speed centrifugation was collected and used for a second centrifugation, with the second centrifugation parameters being 120,000 g for 70 min. The supernatant after the second ultrahigh-speed centrifugation was removed, and the bottom of the tube was repeatedly rinsed with sterile PBS for 3 min to collect exosomes, thereby obtaining umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell exosomes overexpressing Anxa1.
[0077] In other embodiments, the tangential flow method can be used to separate and purify exosomes in the supernatant, that is, the supernatant after centrifugation at 1500 rpm / min is circulated in a tangential flow device, and the exosomes are filtered and collected by using the tangential force of the filter and the liquid flow. The yield of exosome collection is 1.6x 10 12 / L supernatant.
[0078] 3.2 Pipette 10 μL of the extracted exosome sample and carefully drop it onto the electron microscope copper grid. After 2 minutes of precipitation, use filter paper to gently absorb the liquid at the edge of the copper grid. Add 10 μL of uranyl acetate to the copper grid and stain for 2 minutes. Drain the excess floating liquid at the edge of the copper grid and let it air dry for several minutes at room temperature. Observe the exosomes under a transmission electron microscope to obtain the exosome morphology results as shown below. Figure 3 As shown. Use the nanometer to analyze the exosome particle size. Take 10μL of the extracted exosome sample and perform gradient dilution of the sample according to the operating procedures. After the automatic detection is completed, the exosome particle size results can be obtained as shown. Figure 4 As shown in Figure 2, the average particle size of exosomes is 168.3 nm. The surface protein markers of the extracted exosomes were identified by Western blot, and the identification markers were CD9, CD81, as shown in Figure 2. Figure 5 As shown, the expression levels of CD9 and CD81 were 1.1 times that of β-actin.
[0079] 3.3 The expression of Anxa1 protein in the exosomes of overexpressing Anxa1 umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells and conventional umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells was detected by ELISA method. According to the ELISA kit instructions, the standard was gradiently diluted for standard curve. The sample to be tested was gradiently diluted, mixed with reaction reagent and color developing reagent, and then the absorbance value was detected on the enzyme label instrument. The Anxa1 protein concentration of the sample to be tested was calculated according to the standard curve. The Anxa1 protein concentration in the exosomes of overexpressing Anxa1 umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells was 26.4 mg / L, while the Anxa1 protein concentration in the exosomes of conventional umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells was 3.2 mg / L.
[0080] Example 2 Therapeutic effect of intravenous transplantation of exosomes of overexpressing Anxa1 umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells on acute craniocerebral trauma
[0081] 1. Preparation of acute craniocerebral trauma model of rats
[0082] Twenty-four female adult SD rats (2 months old) were selected, and anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection of 40 mg / kg sodium pentobarbital. The scalp was incised along the midline, and the subcutaneous soft tissue was separated to expose the skull surface. A micro drill was used to drill a hole with a diameter of 5 mm at 1 mm behind the right coronal suture and 2 mm lateral to the midline. A 40 g hammer was placed at a height of 25 cm to prepare the injury model by free fall. The depth of the hammer was 5 mm. Then the scalp was sutured and the wound was bandaged.
[0083] 2. Intravenous injection of exosomes of overexpressing Anxa1 umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells and evaluation of therapeutic effect
[0084] 2.1 The successfully modeled rats were placed in the tail vein injection instrument, and the tail vein was developed. Twenty-four rats were divided into Anxa1 exosome group and conventional exosome group, with 12 rats in each group. The rats in the Anxa1 exosome group were injected with 100 μl of exosomes of overexpressing Anxa1 umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells through the tail vein, while the rats in the conventional exosome group were injected with 100 μl of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell exosomes through the tail vein. After injection of the exosomes, the rats were placed in cages for normal feeding for 7 days.
[0085] 2.2 The neurological impairment scores of the rats in the two groups were evaluated at 7 days after the operation. The motor, sensory and reflex functions of the rats at 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, 14 days and 21 days after the injury were evaluated using the modified neurological severity score (mNSS) scale. The differences in the scores of the rats in the two groups were compared. Figure 6 It is shown that the mNSS scores of the rats in the two groups were significantly decreased with the extension of the treatment time, but the mNSS scores of the rats in the Anxa1 exosome group were significantly lower than those of the rats in the conventional exosome group at 3 days, 7 days, 14 days and 21 days after the injury. It indicates that the Anxa1 exosomes can more effectively improve the functional recovery of the rats after craniocerebral trauma than the conventional exosomes.
[0086] 2.3 At 7 days after operation, after the rat nerve function was evaluated, the brain tissue was taken after the rats were sacrificed, the whole brain tissue protein was extracted, and the BCA kit was used for quantification. The expression levels of inflammatory proteins IL-1β and IL10 in the brain tissues of the two groups of rats were detected and compared by using an ELISA kit, and the results are shown in Figures 7-8 It is shown that the IL-1β in the brain tissue of the Anxa1 exosome group is significantly lower than that in the conventional exosome group, and the expression level of IL10 is significantly higher than that in the conventional exosome group.
[0087] The umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell exosome overexpressing Anxa1 injected intravenously can more effectively improve the nerve function of rats after craniocerebral trauma, and also greatly reduces the inflammatory reaction in the brain tissue after trauma.
[0088] Example 3 Efficacy of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell exosome overexpressing Anxa1 intravenous injection in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers
[0089] 1. Preparation of rat diabetic foot ulcer model
[0090] Take 24 one-month-old male SD rats, after adaptive feeding for 3 days, fast for 12 hours, measure the fasting blood glucose by tail vein blood sampling. The preparation of diabetic model adopts 1% streptozotocin intraperitoneal injection. After intraperitoneal injection for 3 days, the fasting blood glucose is detected, and when the blood glucose is greater than 16.7mmol / L, the diabetic modeling is successful. After the rats are anesthetized with 30mg / kg sodium pentobarbital, a 3*3mm mold is used to manufacture a rat foot skin defect model, which is sterilized with 75% alcohol, and a diabetic foot skin ulcer rat model is manufactured
[0091] 2. Intravenous injection of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell exosome overexpressing Anxa1 and evaluation of efficacy
[0092] The 24 successfully modeled rats are divided into two groups, Anxa1 exosome group and conventional exosome group, each group has 12 rats. The Anxa1 exosome group is injected with 150μl umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell exosome overexpressing Anxa1 through the tail vein, while the rats in the conventional exosome group are injected with 150μl umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell exosome through the tail vein. Continuous injection for 7 days. The wound healing of rats in each group is recorded every day, and the final healing time is recorded. Image analysis is used to record the wound healing rate. Wound healing rate=(original total wound area-unhealed wound area) / original total wound area*100%. The results are shown in Figure 9As shown, the wound healing rates of the Anxa1 exosome group rats were higher than those of the conventional exosome group rats after 4 days of treatment, and the wound healing rate was as high as 79% at 7 days of treatment. The expression levels of inflammatory proteins TNFα and IL-14 in the wound tissues of the two groups of rats were detected by ELISA kit at 7 days and 14 days of treatment, and the results are shown in Table 2. Figures 10-11 As shown, the pro-inflammatory proteins of the Anxa1 exosome group gradually decreased with the extension of the treatment time, and were significantly lower than those of the conventional exosome group, while the anti-inflammatory proteins gradually decreased with the extension of the treatment time, and were significantly higher than those of the conventional exosome group.
[0093] The above results show that the umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell exosomes overexpressing Anxa1 can improve the efficacy of diabetic foot ulcers in rats by inhibiting the levels of inflammatory factors.
