Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cell biology, and in particular to a preparation method of Sargassum fusiformis-derived lipid nanovesicles, and a product and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Inflammation is a defensive response of living tissues with vascular systems to damaging factors. It involves three aspects: damage caused by inflammatory factors, the body's defensive response, and tissue damage recovery. A moderate inflammatory response is an immune response that protects the body. Excessive inflammation can lead to immune damage and induce various diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, acute gouty arthritis, atherosclerosis, and diabetic nephropathy. A large number of inflammatory-related factors (such as TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, iNOS, and COX-2) are detected in the blood of diseased organisms. These factors infiltrate the body, triggering various adverse reactions and seriously threatening the body's health. Therefore, the prevention and adjuvant treatment of inflammation are particularly important.

[0003] In the research of treating and preventing inflammation, many anti-inflammatory drugs have been developed, such as adrenocortical hormone preparations, cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, etc., but the therapeutic effects are unsatisfactory. Therefore, it is very necessary to develop new ways or new drugs to treat inflammation.

[0004] Small interfering RNA (siRNA) is an initiator of RNA interference, silencing its complementary target mRNA. This approach holds important implications for gene regulation and disease treatment. As a therapeutic agent, siRNA must overcome the vascular barrier, achieve endocytosis and escape into lysosomes, while also avoiding degradation by nucleases. Therefore, designing suitable vectors to facilitate successful siRNA delivery into cells and its efficacy is a key goal in the development of siRNA drugs.

[0005] In summary, if a substance can be developed that has both anti-inflammatory effects, can be used to prepare anti-inflammatory drugs, and can serve as a carrier of siRNA, it will have very broad application prospects. Summary of the Invention

[0009] S1. Crushing and grinding: Wash the Sargassum fusiformis, mix the washed Sargassum fusiformis with PBS, and crush and grind;

[0010] S2, differential centrifugation: subjecting the crushed and ground grinding liquid to differential centrifugation to obtain a supernatant after differential centrifugation;

[0011] S3. Ultracentrifugation: Ultracentrifuge the supernatant after differential centrifugation at 4°C, 100,000-200,000 g for 60-120 min. After ultracentrifugation, discard the supernatant and retain the pellet.

[0012] S4. Gradient density centrifugation: The precipitate after ultracentrifugation in step S3 was resuspended in PBS and gently added to the top layer of a sucrose gradient solution with a concentration gradient of 60 wt.%, 45 wt.%, 30 wt.%, and 8 wt.% from bottom to top. The solution was then ultracentrifuged at 4°C, 100,000-200,000 g for 60-120 min. After centrifugation, the visible band between the 8 wt.% and 30 wt.% sucrose layers was aspirated, resuspended in PBS, and then centrifuged again at 4°C, 100,000-200,000 g for 60-120 min to obtain lipid nanovesicles derived from Sargassum fusiformis.

[0013] Furthermore, in step S1, the mass ratio of the sea lettuce to PBS is 1:5, the crushing and grinding is performed 3-10 times, each time for 1-5 minutes, and the crushing and grinding are refrigerated for 5-60 minutes between the two times (heat is generated during the grinding process); the crushing and grinding speed is 15000-28000 rpm, and the refrigeration temperature is 4°C.

[0014] Furthermore, the specific operation of the differential centrifugation in step S2 is: first centrifuge at 1000-2500g for 10-30min, discard the precipitate, retain the supernatant, then centrifuge at 3000-8000g for 10-30min, discard the precipitate, retain the supernatant, and finally centrifuge at 10000-30000g for 30-60min, discard the precipitate, and obtain the supernatant after differential centrifugation.

[0015] Furthermore, the method for preparing the sucrose gradient solution with a concentration gradient of 60 wt.%, 45 wt.%, 30 wt.%, and 8 wt.% from bottom to top in step S3 is as follows: first prepare sucrose solutions with concentrations of 8 wt.%, 30 wt.%, 45 wt.%, and 60 wt.%, respectively, then prepare a clean ultracentrifuge tube, and add 8 ml of each of 60 wt.%, 45 wt.%, 30 wt.%, and 8 wt.% sucrose solutions in sequence to form a gradient to obtain the sucrose gradient solution.

[0016] Furthermore, the method further includes S5, storage of the Sargassum fusiformis-derived lipid nanovesicles: resuspending the Sargassum fusiformis-derived lipid nanovesicle precipitate obtained in step S4 with PBS, filtering with a 220 nm filter membrane to obtain a Sargassum fusiformis-derived lipid nanovesicle suspension, and storing the suspension at -80°C.

[0021] Furthermore, the drug is a siRNA drug.

[0022] The Sargassum fusiformis-derived nanovesicles are used as nucleic acid carriers to carry siRNA into cells and exert the effect of inhibiting gene levels.

[0023] The present invention discloses the following technical effects:

[0024] (1) The present invention discloses a method for extracting Sargassum fusiformis-derived lipid nanovesicles from Sargassum fusiformis by combining differential centrifugation, ultracentrifugation, and gradient density centrifugation.

They can be used in the preparation of anti-inflammatory drugs and can also be used as drug carriers, providing a new strategy for the development of anti-inflammatory drugs and drug carriers.

[0025] (2) The present invention extracts nanoparticles from Sargassum fusiformis by differential centrifugation, ultracentrifugation combined with gradient density centrifugation (1000-2500g in differential centrifugation removes larger residues, 3000-8000g removes medium particles, and 10000-30000g removes cell debris. Ultracentrifugation can separate vesicles, and sucrose gradient centrifugation is used for purification). It is characterized by TEM and nanoparticle size analysis and found to be a nanovesicle-like structure. The nanovesicle structure can be taken up by most cells, including inflammatory cells, and plays an inhibitory role in inflammation. In addition, when used as a nucleic acid carrier, it can successfully carry siRNA into cells and play an inhibitory role at the gene level. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0038] (2) Differential centrifugation: Pour the grinding solution after 5 times of crushing and grinding into a clean 50ml Eppendorf tube, and then perform differential centrifugation: centrifugation at 1000g for 10 minutes (discard the precipitate and keep the supernatant), centrifugation at 3000g for 20 minutes (discard the precipitate and keep the supernatant), and centrifugation at 10000g for 40 minutes (discard the precipitate and keep the supernatant).

[0039] (3) Ultracentrifugation: The final supernatant was accurately balanced in an ultracentrifuge tube and centrifuged at 4°C and 150,000 g for 90 min. During this time, a sucrose gradient solution was prepared using 1× PBS as the solvent to prepare sucrose solutions with concentrations of 8 wt.%, 30 wt.%, 45 wt.%, and 60 wt.%. Then, 8 ml of each of the 60 wt.%, 45 wt.%, 30 wt.%, and 8 wt.% sucrose solutions were added to a clean ultracentrifuge tube to form a gradient.

[0040] (4) Gradient density centrifugation: After 90 minutes of ultracentrifugation, resuspend the pellet in 2 ml of 1×PBS and gently add it to the top layer of the sucrose gradient solution. Centrifuge at 4°C, 150,000 g for 120 minutes. After centrifugation, three bands will appear (between 8 wt.% and 30 wt.%, between 30 wt.% and 45 wt.%, and between 45 wt.% and 60 wt.%). Carefully aspirate the visible band between the 8 wt.% and 30 wt.% sucrose layers into another clean ultracentrifuge tube (bands as shown in Figure 2). Figure 1 The suspension was resuspended in 1 ml of 1× PBS and accurately balanced, and then centrifuged again at 150,000 g for 90 min at 4°C to remove residual sucrose.

[0041] (5) After centrifugation, the supernatant was discarded and the residual liquid on the wall of the supernatant was wiped dry with a paper towel. The precipitate obtained was the desired Sargassum-derived lipid nanovesicles.

The relative mRNA expression of lnc070974 in A549 cells in the siRNA alone group was not significantly different from that in NC (P > 0.05). This suggests that Sargassum-derived lipid nanovesicles can serve as carriers for siRNA entry into cells and exert their effects.
