Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the construction and application of nano-biomaterials and small molecule chemotherapy drugs / biomacromolecule combination drugs, and in particular to a preparation method of a small molecule chemotherapy drug / biomacromolecule / metal organic framework composite material, as well as its product and application. Background Art

[0002] Cancer is one of the major threats to human life and health, and how to treat cancer remains a major medical challenge. Chemotherapy, as a major cancer treatment method, mainly uses chemotherapy drugs to induce apoptosis or necrosis of tumor cells. However, chemotherapy resistance has become the main reason for the failure of chemotherapy in clinical practice. When a tumor develops chemotherapy resistance, the tumor cells will escape the cytotoxic effects of chemotherapy drugs by reducing intracellular drug concentrations, inactivating drugs, and resisting apoptosis. However, the clinical solution to tumor resistance is to use a combination of multiple chemotherapy drugs. On the one hand, this method is not effective, and on the other hand, the combined use of multiple drugs causes serious toxic side effects. Therefore, there is no more effective treatment for the problem of tumor resistance.

[0003] Reactive oxygen species (ROS), as a key signaling molecule, are closely related to the proliferation, metastasis, and apoptosis resistance of tumor cells. When the redox balance in tumor cells is broken, excessive ROS can cause oxidative stress and play a certain role in tumor resistance. Ferroptosis is a form of cell death characterized by lipid peroxidation and has played a huge role in tumor treatment in recent years. When cells produce ferroptosis, ROS mediates mitochondrial dysfunction, which can effectively target tumor cells' resistance to apoptosis and play a key role in overcoming tumor resistance. However, tumor cells have high levels of reduced glutathione (GSH) and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), which together resist the induction of ferroptosis. There have been related studies that can use the consumption of GSH to enhance the ferroptosis-inducing ability of drugs. For example, the Chinese patent publication number CN115581710A discloses a Fe3S4 nanozyme. The Fe3S4 nanozyme reported in the invention catalyzes H2O2 in the tumor microenvironment to produce ·OH, thereby accumulating ·OH. The Fe3S4 nanozyme can consume GSH to cause tumor cell apoptosis and ferroptosis, triggering the ferroptosis process of tumor cells, and ultimately achieving a tumor treatment effect of the synergistic effect of cell apoptosis and ferroptosis.

[0004] However, studies have shown that as GSH is depleted, tumor cells upregulate the GSH synthesis pathway, leading to cellular resistance to drug-induced oxidative stress. Furthermore, methods that regulate GSH synthesis through regulatory factors such as p53 and ATF3 can only indirectly affect GSH expression. Therefore, developing drugs that can inhibit GSH synthesis at the root and simultaneously generate ROS in cells to induce ferroptosis has the potential to reverse the drug resistance of tumor cells and be used to prepare new anti-tumor drugs for combination with chemotherapy drugs to overcome tumor resistance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a small molecule chemotherapy drug / biomacromolecule / metal organic framework composite material, as well as the prepared composite material and its application in the preparation of drugs for treating drug-resistant breast cancer; the composite material provided by the present invention can effectively load small molecule chemotherapy drugs and biomacromolecules, enhance the ferroptosis induction effect and overcome drug resistance.

[0006] A method for preparing a small molecule chemotherapy drug / biomacromolecule / metal organic framework composite material, the preparation method comprising:

[0007] 1) A metal-organic framework (MOF) was prepared by a solvothermal method using ferric chloride hexahydrate as the metal source and terephthalic acid as the organic ligand.

[0008] 2) mixing the metal organic framework and the small molecule chemotherapy drug in an aqueous solution, stirring overnight at room temperature, adding the biomacromolecule and stirring, and obtaining a small molecule chemotherapy drug / biomacromolecule / metal organic framework composite material.

[0009] The metal-organic framework structure of the present invention has the activity of delivering and protecting drugs and catalyzing the Fenton reaction: delivering small molecule chemotherapy drugs (such as doxorubicin) and biomacromolecules (SLC7A11 silencing siRNA), and protecting biomacromolecules from degradation in the blood circulation, and catalyzing hydrogen peroxide to produce ROS in cells and release small molecule chemotherapy drugs and siRNA. siRNA can silence SLC7A11, reduce the transport of cysteine into the cell, inhibit GSH biosynthesis from the root, and act together with the generated ROS on tumor cells, inducing ferroptosis and regulating apoptosis-related proteins, thereby relieving the apoptosis resistance of drug-resistant cells; at the same time, the metal-organic framework structure delivers small molecule chemotherapy drugs (such as doxorubicin) to evade P-gp recognition, reduce drug efflux, maintain effective intracellular drug concentration, and thus achieve drug resistance reversal.

[0010] Preferably, in step 1), N,N-dimethylformamide is used as solvent and acetic acid is used as reaction rate controller. In step 1), the volume of N,N-dimethylformamide is 0-100 mL.

[0011] Preferably, the mass ratio of ferric chloride hexahydrate to terephthalic acid is 1:0.55 to 1:0.65, the reaction temperature is 115-125°C, the heating rate is 5-10°C / minute, and the volume ratio of acetic acid to N,N-dimethylformamide is 1:70.0 to 1:80. The reaction rate can be controlled by controlling the temperature and the amount of acetic acid. These process conditions yield metal-organic frameworks with a size distribution of 150-200 nm.

[0012] Preferably, the mass ratio of the ferric chloride hexahydrate to terephthalic acid is 1:0.61, and the volume ratio of acetic acid to N,N-dimethylformamide is 1:76.14; and the size distribution of the metal organic framework is 120-170 nm.

[0013] Preferably, in step 2), the small molecule chemotherapy drug is doxorubicin, and the biomacromolecule is siRNA; the mass ratio of the metal organic framework to doxorubicin is 1:0.8 to 1:1.2, and the molar ratio of iron ions in the metal organic framework to siRNA is 1000:1 to 3000:1.

[0015] The present invention also provides a small molecule chemotherapy drug / biomacromolecule / metal organic framework composite material obtained according to the above preparation method. Preferably, the composite material is composed of a metal organic framework structure, the small molecule chemotherapy drug doxorubicin, and an SLC7A11 silencing siRNA.

[0016] The present invention also provides an application of the above-mentioned small molecule chemotherapy drug / biomacromolecule / metal organic framework composite material in the preparation of a drug for treating drug-resistant breast cancer.

[0017] The metal organic framework in the small molecule chemotherapy drug / biomacromolecule / metal organic framework composite material provided by the present invention can deliver small molecule chemotherapy drugs and siRNA into tumor cells, and protect siRNA from being degraded by ribozymes in the circulation, ensuring that it plays a role in the cell. The composite material can catalyze intracellular hydrogen peroxide to produce hydroxyl radicals, play the role of Fenton reaction catalyst, oxidatively destroy mitochondria, and further, the released siRNA can silence SLC7A11 membrane protein, reduce cysteine influx, inhibit GSH biosynthesis, and ultimately induce ferroptosis and reverse tumor cell resistance. At the same time, due to the carrier delivery effect of the metal organic framework structure, small molecule chemotherapy drugs can be protected from being recognized by P-gp overexpressed on the surface of the tumor cell membrane, thereby ensuring the effective drug concentration in the cell, thereby reversing the drug resistance state of drug-resistant cells, making them more sensitive to chemotherapy drugs and enhancing the efficacy of chemotherapy drugs.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are embodied in:

[0019] (1) The metal-organic framework structure in the small molecule chemotherapy drug / biomacromolecule / metal-organic framework composite material of the present invention can simultaneously protect siRNA from degradation during delivery and protect doxorubicin from being recognized by P-gp, thereby ensuring effective intracellular drug concentration.

[0020] (2) The small molecule chemotherapy drug / biomacromolecule / metal organic framework composite material of the present invention can inhibit the biosynthesis of GSH at the root, thereby reducing the resistance of the GSH-GPX4 system to ferroptosis and enhancing the ferroptosis induction effect.

Further release of siRNA can silence the SLC7A11 membrane protein, reduce cysteine influx, inhibit GSH biosynthesis, and ultimately induce ferroptosis, reversing tumor cell drug resistance. Furthermore, the carrier delivery function of the metal-organic framework structure can protect the small-molecule chemotherapy drug from being recognized by P-gp overexpressed on the tumor cell membrane surface, ensuring effective drug concentration within the cell.

[0035] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0036] Example 1: Synthesis and characterization of small molecule chemotherapy drug / biomacromolecule / metal organic framework composite materials with Fenton reaction catalytic activity

[0037] (1) Synthesis of metal-organic framework structures:

[0038] 187.0 mg of ferric chloride hexahydrate and 114.5 mg of terephthalic acid were dissolved in 15 mL of DMF. After complete dissolution, the two were mixed and stirred at room temperature for 15 minutes. 197 μL of glacial acetic acid was added to the system and stirred for 10 minutes. The mixture was then heated to 120°C at a rate of 10°C / min. When the system temperature reached 120°C, it was magnetically stirred for 40 minutes, slowly cooled to room temperature, and centrifuged (11000 rpm for 15 minutes). The supernatant was discarded, the precipitate was collected, and washed twice with DMF and water to obtain the metal-organic framework structure MIL-101, which was dispersed in water for later use.

[0039] The results are as follows Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the morphology of MIL-101 was characterized by TEM and dynamic light scattering particle size distribution, and the particle size was about 170 nm.

[0040] (2) Synthesis of small molecule chemotherapy drugs / biomacromolecules / metal organic framework composites:

[0041] A quantitative solution of MIL-101 aqueous solution was added with doxorubicin hydrochloride at a 1:1 iron ion:DOX mass ratio. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 hours, centrifuged at 11,000 rpm for 15 minutes, and the supernatant was discarded to collect the precipitate. The precipitate was washed twice with water to obtain a small molecule chemotherapy drug / metal-organic framework composite material, which was dispersed in water for later use. A quantitative solution of small molecule chemotherapy drug / metal-organic framework composite material was added with siRNA at a 1000:1 iron ion:siRNA molar ratio. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours, centrifuged at 11,000 rpm for 15 minutes, and the supernatant was discarded to collect the precipitate. The precipitate was washed once with water to obtain a small molecule chemotherapy drug / biomacromolecule / metal-organic framework composite material.

[0042] The results are as follows Figure 3 As shown, the prepared small molecule chemotherapy drug / biomacromolecule / metal organic framework composite material was characterized by transmission electron microscopy.

[0044] The results are as follows Figure 5As shown, the Fenton catalytic activity of the prepared small molecule chemotherapy drug / biomacromolecule / metal organic framework composite was characterized, using hydrogen peroxide as a substrate and TMB as an indicator. When ROS was generated in the solution, TMB was oxidized and its absorbance increased. The absorbance of the small molecule chemotherapy drug / biomacromolecule / metal organic framework composite when incubated with hydrogen peroxide and TMB was measured using a UV spectrophotometer. The results showed that the absorbance at a wavelength of 650nm gradually increased with time, indicating that the small molecule chemotherapy drug / biomacromolecule / metal organic framework composite has strong Fenton reaction catalytic activity.

[0051] d. Treatment group 2: small molecule chemotherapy drugs / biomacromolecules / metal organic framework composite materials were added to the culture medium of drug-resistant breast cancer cells to make the iron ion concentration reach 10 μg / mL.

[0052] After incubating the cells in the three groups at 37°C for 48 hours, the ROS fluorescent probe 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA, 200 μM) was added. The cells were incubated in the dark at 37°C for 30 minutes and then washed three times with PBS. Cell fluorescence was captured and quantified using a confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) (excitation wavelength: 488 nm, emission wavelength: 525 nm).

[0053] After incubation, the three groups of cells were washed twice with PBS, incubated with trypsin for 5 minutes to detach the cells, and then washed with PBS. After removing the culture medium, the cells were fixed with glutaraldehyde at room temperature, rinsed with PBS, dehydrated with graded ethanol, and cleared with propylene oxide. Finally, the cell samples were cut and transferred to a mesh, and imaged using TME.

[0054] The results are as follows Figure 6 As shown, the delivery of siRNA by small molecule chemotherapy drugs / biomacromolecules / metal organic framework composites effectively reduces the level of intracellular GSH, thereby weakening the intracellular reducing ability and making drug-resistant cells more sensitive to ROS.

[0055] The results are as follows Figure 7 As shown, the small molecule chemotherapy drug / biomacromolecule / metal organic framework composite material causes the production of a large amount of ROS in cells, and the ROS signal is higher than that of the simple metal organic framework structure, indicating that the small molecule chemotherapy drug / biomacromolecule / metal organic framework composite material can catalyze the Fenton reaction in cells and catalyze hydrogen peroxide to produce ROS.

[0056] The results are as follows Figure 8 As shown, the biological electron microscopy images show that the small molecule chemotherapy drug / biomacromolecule / metal organic framework composite material can effectively cause ferroptosis of drug-resistant cells, destroy the structure and function of cell mitochondria, and cause structural changes such as increased mitochondrial membrane density, smaller mitochondria, and fewer mitochondrial cristae.

[0065] The three groups of cells were collected in radioimmunoprecipitation lysis buffer (RIPA) containing protease inhibitors. After centrifugation, the total protein concentration in the supernatant was determined using a BCA protein assay kit. Total protein (10-100 μg) was separated by 10% SDS-PAGE electrophoresis and transferred to a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane. After sealing in PBS containing 5% skim milk powder, the primary antibody was added and incubated overnight at 4°C. After incubation with an HRP-conjugated secondary antibody, the membrane was rinsed with PBS containing 0.1% Tween-20 for 2 hours. The PVDF signal was detected and quantified.

After administration, cells were incubated with 5 μg / mL of rhodamine 123 for 4 hours. After washing three times with PBS, the fluorescence of rhodamine 123 was measured using CLSM.

[0067] The results are as follows Figure 9 As shown, the cytotoxicity of the small molecule chemotherapy drug / biomacromolecule / metal organic framework composite material on drug-resistant breast cancer cells is significantly higher than that of simple doxorubicin, and the IC50 is only one-fifth of that of doxorubicin, indicating that it effectively reverses the drug resistance of cells.
