Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of immunotherapy, and in particular to a cancer vaccine based on cancer cell and / or tumor tissue lysate components and synthetic cancer antigens, and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Cancer vaccines are an important approach to cancer immunotherapy. They primarily consist of antigens and adjuvants, with antigens being the primary component that triggers a specific immune response and the most important component in cancer vaccines. Cancer cells and / or tumor tissues contain a full range of cancer cell-specific and cancer cell-associated antigens, making them the best raw materials for preparing cancer vaccines. Cancer cells and / or tumor tissues contain a wide variety of cancer antigens, the most important of which are proteins and peptides. Cancer antigens can be broadly categorized into two main groups: antigens that have been specifically studied and identified, and antigens that have not been clearly studied and identified. Specifically, antigens that have been specifically studied and identified can be further divided into cancer-specific antigens and cancer-associated antigens. Currently available cancer vaccines either exclusively use cancer-specific antigens (neoantigens), exclusively use cancer-associated antigens, or exclusively use a mixture of antigens that have not been clearly studied and identified. How to rationally use and optimize the combination of antigens that have been specifically studied and identified and antigens that have not been clearly studied and identified is a challenge facing cancer vaccines.

The nanoparticles have an average particle size of approximately 100 nm. Each mg of PLGA nanoparticles can be loaded with approximately 15 μg of protein or peptide component, and 0.2 mg of poly(I:C) per mg of PLGA nanoparticles.
[0212] (3) Nano-vaccines for cancer treatment
[0213] Female C57BL / 6 mice aged 6-8 weeks were selected as model mice to prepare melanoma-bearing mice. On day 0, 1.5×10 5 B16F10 cells. On days 3, 6, 9, 14, and 20 after tumor inoculation, mice were subcutaneously injected with 2 mg of nanovaccine 1 (1 mg of nanoparticles loaded with a purified component from a water-soluble fraction + 1 mg of nanoparticles loaded with a water-insoluble fraction), 2 mg of nanovaccine 2 (1 mg of nanoparticles loaded with a purified component from a water-soluble fraction + 1 mg of nanoparticles loaded with a water-insoluble fraction), 2 mg of nanovaccine 3 (1 mg of nanoparticles loaded with a water-soluble fraction + 1 mg of nanoparticles loaded with a water-insoluble fraction), 2 mg of nanovaccine 4 (1 mg of nanoparticles loaded with a purified component from a water-soluble fraction + 1 mg of nanoparticles loaded with a water-insoluble fraction), or 2 mg of nanovaccine 5 (1 mg of nanoparticles loaded with a purified component from a water-soluble fraction + 1 mg of nanoparticles loaded with a water-insoluble fraction), or 100 μL of PBS. Tumor growth and survival were monitored. Tumor volume was recorded every three days starting on day 3. The tumor volume was calculated using the formula v = 0.52 × a × b 2Calculate, where v is the tumor volume, a is the tumor length, and b is the tumor width. For animal experiment ethics, in the mouse survival test, when the mouse tumor volume exceeds 2000mm 3 The mice were considered dead and euthanized.
[0214] (4) Experimental results
[0215] like Figure 3 As shown, the tumors in the PBS group grew rapidly, and the mice died soon after. Mice treated with Nanovaccines 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 all experienced significantly slower tumor growth and prolonged survival, with some mice recovering tumor-free. Nanovaccines 1 was more effective than Nanovaccines 2, 3, 4, and 5, indicating that using ammonium sulfate salting-out to separate and purify proteins and peptides from the water-soluble fraction is more effective than using ammonium carbonate. Furthermore, the separation and purification of a portion of the water-soluble fraction is more effective than using the water-soluble fraction directly. Furthermore, the precipitate produced by salting-out and heating the water-soluble fraction was more effectively dissolved using urea than using 1% Triton X100.
[0216] Example 2 Micronized vaccine for the treatment of melanoma
[0217] In this example, ultrapure water was first used to lyse cancer cells isolated from B16F10 melanoma tumor tissue. After culturing the isolated cancer cells, the protein and polypeptide components of the water-soluble components of the tumor tissue and the water-insoluble antigen dissolved in 6M guanidine hydrochloride were prepared. The two were then mixed and loaded onto the micron vaccine.
[0218] (1) Preparation of antigen components
[0219] Each C57BL / 6 mouse was subcutaneously inoculated with 1.5 × 10 5 B16F10 cells, when the tumor grows to a volume of approximately 1000 mm 3The mice were killed and the tumor tissue was removed. A single cell suspension of the tumor tissue was prepared, and then the cancer cells in the tumor tissue were separated and cultured in RPMI1640 (containing 10% FBS) complete medium for 7 days (37°C, 5% CO2). After the culture was completed, the cancer cells were collected and centrifuged at 400g for 5 minutes to remove the culture medium. The precipitated cancer cells were resuspended in an appropriate amount of ultrapure water and repeatedly frozen and thawed 5 times, accompanied by ultrasound to destroy and lyse the cancer cells. After lysis, the lysate was centrifuged at a speed of 5000g for 5 minutes and the supernatant was taken as the water-soluble component soluble in pure water; 6M guanidine hydrochloride aqueous solution was added to the obtained precipitate to dissolve the precipitate, and the water-insoluble antigen that was insoluble in pure water was converted into a soluble antigen in 6M guanidine hydrochloride aqueous solution.
[0220] Saturated magnesium sulfate aqueous solution was added dropwise to the water-soluble component or the water-insoluble component in the lysate. After the precipitation was complete, the obtained sample was centrifuged at 3000g for 5 minutes. The precipitate was dissolved in 6M guanidine hydrochloride aqueous solution and used as part of the antigen component in the water-soluble component. The obtained sample was mixed with the water-insoluble component in the lysate dissolved in 6M guanidine hydrochloride aqueous solution, four tumor-specific antigens B16-M20 (Tubb3), B16-M24 (Dag1), B16-M46 (Actn4) and TRP2:180-188 and two tumor-associated antigens (WT1 126-134 :RMFPNAPYL and WT1 35-52 :WAPVLDFAPPGASAYGSL) were mixed in a mass ratio of 1:5:0.001:0.001:0.001:0.001:0.001:0.001 to obtain the antigen component 1 for preparing micron vaccine 1 (Micronvaccine 1).
[0221] Saturated sodium silicate aqueous solution was added dropwise to the water-soluble component or the water-insoluble component in the lysate. After the precipitation was complete, the obtained sample was centrifuged at 3000g for 5 minutes.

The obtained sample was mixed with the water-insoluble component of the lysate dissolved in 6M guanidine hydrochloride aqueous solution, four tumor-specific antigens B16-M20 (Tubb3), B16-M24 (Dag1), B16-M46 (Actn4) and TRP2:180-188 (SVYDFFVWL) and two tumor-associated antigens (WT1 126-134 :RMFPNAPYL and WT1 35-52 :WAPVLDFAPPGASAYGSL) were mixed in a mass ratio of 1:5:0.001:0.001:0.001:0.001:0.001:0.001 to obtain antigen component 2 for preparing micron vaccine 2 (Micronvaccine 2).
[0222] Alternatively, the water-soluble components in the lysate were not treated, and the water-insoluble components in the lysate dissolved in 6M guanidine hydrochloride aqueous solution, four tumor-specific antigens B16-M20 (Tubb3), B16-M24 (Dag1), B16-M46 (Actn4) and TRP2:180-188 (SVYDFFVWL) and two tumor-associated antigens (WT1 126-134 :RMFPNAPYL and WT1 35-52 :WAPVLDFAPPGASAYGSL) were mixed in a mass ratio of 1:5:0.001:0.001:0.001:0.001:0.001:0.001 to obtain antigen component 3 for preparing micron vaccine 3 (Micronvaccine 3).
[0223] Alternatively, four melanoma cancer-specific antigen peptides B16-M20, B16-M24, B16-M46 and TRP2:180-188 and two cancer-associated antigens (WT1 126-134 :RMFPNAPYL and WT1 35-52 :WAPVLDFAPPGASAYGSL) were mixed in a mass ratio of 1:1:1:1:1:1 to prepare the antigen component 4 of micron vaccine 4 (Micronvaccine 4).
[0224] Alternatively, a saturated aqueous solution of magnesium sulfate is added dropwise to the water-soluble component in the lysate. After complete precipitation, the resulting sample is centrifuged at 3000 g for 5 minutes. The precipitate is dissolved in a 6M aqueous solution of guanidine hydrochloride and used as part of the antigen component in the water-soluble component; the resulting sample is mixed with the water-insoluble component in the lysate dissolved in a 6M aqueous solution of guanidine hydrochloride at a mass ratio of 1:5 to obtain antigen component 5 for preparing micron vaccine 5 (Micronvaccine 5).

The micron particles were prepared using PLGA, a material with a molecular weight of 38-54 kDa, and the immunoadjuvants used were poly(I:C) and CpG ODN 7909. The preparation method was as described above. The micron particles were first loaded with antigen component 3 and the adjuvant. Then, 100 mg of the micron particles were centrifuged at 8000 g for 30 minutes, resuspended in 10 mL of ultrapure water containing 4% trehalose, and freeze-dried for 48 hours. Micronvaccine 3 had an average particle size of approximately 1.2 μm. Each mg of PLGA microparticles contained approximately 10 μg of the protein or polypeptide component, and each mg of PLGA microparticles contained 0.01 mg of poly(I:C) and 0.01 mg of CpG ODN 7909.
[0229] The preparation method and steps for Micronvaccine 4 in this example are the same as those for Micronvaccine 1. The microparticles used are made of PLGA, a material with a molecular weight of 38-54 kDa, and the immune adjuvants used are poly(I:C) and CpG ODN 7909. During preparation, the antigen component 4 and adjuvant are first loaded onto micronparticles 4.

Micronvaccine 4 has an average particle size of approximately 1.2 μm. Each mg of PLGA microparticles is loaded with approximately 10 μg of the polypeptide component, and each mg of PLGA microparticles is loaded with 0.01 mg of poly(I:C) and 0.01 mg of CpG ODN.
[0230] Micronvaccine 5 in this example was prepared using the same method and steps as Micronvaccine 1. During preparation, the antigen component 5 and adjuvant were first loaded onto micron particles 5.

[0231] (3) Micron vaccines for cancer treatment
[0232] Female C57BL / 6 mice aged 6-8 weeks were selected as model mice to prepare melanoma-bearing mice. On day 0, 1.5×10 5 B16F10 cells. 4 mg of micro vaccine (micro vaccine 1 or micro vaccine 2 or micro vaccine 3 or micro vaccine 4 or micro vaccine 5) or 100 μL PBS was injected subcutaneously into the mice on the 3rd, 6th, 9th, 14th and 20th days after tumor inoculation. The tumor growth rate and survival of the mice were monitored. In the experiment, the size of the mouse tumor was recorded every 3 days starting from the 3rd day. The tumor volume was calculated using the formula v = 0.52 × a × b 2 Calculate, where v is the tumor volume, a is the tumor length, and b is the tumor width.
[0233] (9) Experimental results
[0234] like Figure 4As shown, tumors in mice in the PBS group rapidly expanded and soon died. Mice treated with Micronvaccine 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 all showed significantly slower tumor growth and prolonged survival, with some mice recovering completely. Micronvaccine 1 was more effective than Micronvaccines 2, 3, 4, and 5, demonstrating that using magnesium sulfate salting-out to separate and purify proteins and peptides from the water-soluble fraction is more effective than using sodium silicate. Furthermore, separating and purifying a portion of the water-soluble fraction is more effective than using the water-soluble fraction directly. Furthermore, vaccines co-loading tumor tissue lysate fractions with cancer-specific and related antigen peptides are more effective than vaccines loaded solely with cancer-specific / related antigen peptides. Furthermore, vaccines co-loading tumor tissue lysate fractions with cancer-specific and related antigen peptides are more effective than vaccines using cancer cell lysate alone.
[0235] Example 3 Nano-vaccine for the treatment of melanoma
[0236] In this embodiment, circulating tumor cells in peripheral blood are first isolated, then cultured and expanded in vitro, the expanded circulating tumor cells are collected and lysed, and then antigen components from circulating tumor cells are prepared and loaded into nanovaccines for the prevention and treatment of cancer.
[0237] (1) Lysis of cancer cells and collection of components
[0238] The cultured B16F10 cells were collected and then inoculated subcutaneously on the back of each mouse at a rate of 1.5 × 10 5 The mice were then sacrificed 15 days after cancer cell inoculation to collect peripheral blood. Circulating tumor cells were isolated from the peripheral blood and then cultured and expanded in vitro. After collecting the expanded circulating tumor cells, an appropriate amount of ultrapure water was added and the cells were repeatedly frozen and thawed five times to lyse the circulating tumor cells. The lysate was then centrifuged at 5000g for 5 minutes, and the supernatant was collected as the water-soluble fraction. The resulting precipitate was dissolved in 10% sodium deoxycholate solution, converting the water-insoluble antigen into a soluble antigen in 10% sodium deoxycholate solution.
[0239] The water-soluble fraction in the lysate was heated at 100°C for 10 minutes, and the resulting sample was centrifuged at 3000g for 5 minutes. The supernatant was discarded and the precipitate was redissolved in a 10% sodium deoxycholate aqueous solution. The fraction obtained by heating the precipitate from the water-soluble fraction dissolved in 10% sodium deoxycholate, the water-insoluble fraction in the lysate dissolved in 10% sodium deoxycholate aqueous solution, and the cancer-associated antigen WT1 were mixed. 126-134 :RMFPNAPYL, cancer-associated antigen WT1 35-52 :WAPVLDFAPPGASAYGSL, and mRNA encoding four cancer-specific antigens (B16-M20, B16-M24, B16-M46 and TRP2:180-188) were mixed in a mass ratio of 10:1:22:22:22 to prepare the antigen component 1 of nanovaccine 1.
[0240] Alternatively, the water-soluble component in the lysate is used directly without any treatment. The water-soluble component and the water-insoluble component in the lysate dissolved in 10% sodium deoxycholate aqueous solution are mixed at a mass ratio of 10:1 to prepare the antigen component 2 of the nanovaccine 2.

Then, 100mg of nanoparticles are centrifuged at 14000g for 20 minutes and resuspended in 10mL of ultrapure water containing 4% trehalose and freeze-dried for 48 hours. The average particle size of the nanoparticles 1 is about 500nm. Every 1mg of PLA nanoparticles is loaded with approximately 50μg of protein or polypeptide components, 20μg of mRNA, and 0.2mg each of poly(I:C), CpG SL01 (Class B), and CpG SL03 (Class C).
[0245] Nanovaccine 2 in this example was prepared using the same methods and materials as Nanovaccine 1. As previously described, the nanoparticles were loaded with the cell antigen component 2 and adjuvant. 100 mg of nanoparticles were then centrifuged at 14,000 g for 20 minutes, resuspended in 10 mL of ultrapure water containing 4% trehalose, and freeze-dried for 48 hours. Nanoparticles 2 had an average particle size of approximately 500 nm. Each 1 mg of PLA (10-20 kDa) nanoparticles was loaded with approximately 70 μg of protein or peptide components, including 0.2 mg each of poly(I:C), CpG SL01 (Class B), and CpG SL03 (Class C).
[0246] Nanovaccine 3 in this example was prepared using the same methods and materials as Nanovaccine 1. As previously described, the nanoparticles were loaded with the cell antigen component 3 and adjuvant. 100 mg of the nanoparticles were then centrifuged at 14,000 g for 20 minutes, resuspended in 10 mL of ultrapure water containing 4% trehalose, and freeze-dried for 48 hours. Nanoparticles 3 had an average particle size of approximately 500 nm. Each 1 mg of PLA (10-20 kDa) nanoparticles was loaded with approximately 50 μg of protein or polypeptide components, 20 μg of mRNA, and 0.2 mg each of poly(I:C), CpG SL01 (Class B), and CpG SL03 (Class C).
[0247] Nanovaccine 4 in this example was prepared using the same methods and materials as Nanovaccine 1. As previously described, nanoparticles were loaded with antigen component 4 and adjuvant. 100 mg of nanoparticles were then centrifuged at 14,000 g for 20 minutes, resuspended in 10 mL of ultrapure water containing 4% trehalose, and freeze-dried for 48 hours. Nanoparticles 4 had an average particle size of approximately 500 nm.

[0248] (3) Nano-vaccines for cancer treatment
[0249] Female C57BL / 6 mice aged 6-8 weeks were selected as model mice to prepare melanoma-bearing mice. On day 0, 1.5×10 5 B16F10 cells were injected subcutaneously with 100 μL of 15 mg of nanovaccine (Nanovaccin 1, Nanovaccin 2, Nanovaccin 3, or Nanovaccin 4) or 100 μL of PBS on days 3, 6, 9, 14, and 20 after tumor inoculation. Tumor growth rate and survival of mice were monitored as described above.
[0250] (4) Experimental results
[0251] like Figure 5 As shown, the tumors in the PBS group grew rapidly and the mice died soon after. Mice treated with Nanovaccines 1 (Nanovaccine 1), 2 (Nanovaccine 2), 3 (Nanovaccine 3), or 4 (Nanovaccine 4) all experienced significantly slower tumor growth and prolonged survival, with some mice recovering without tumors. Nanovaccines 1 and 3 were more effective than Nanovaccines 2, and Nanovaccines 1 was more effective than Nanovaccines 3. Furthermore, Nanovaccines 1, 2, and 3 were all more effective than Nanovaccines 4. This suggests that using cell lysates is significantly more effective than using only antigenic peptides and mRNA encoding them; that heating to separate and purify the protein and peptide components from the water-soluble fraction can enhance vaccine efficacy; and that adding cancer-specific antigenic peptides and mRNA encoding cancer-related peptides significantly enhances efficacy.
[0252] Example 4 Nano-vaccine for the treatment of lung cancer
[0253] In this example, LLC mouse lung cancer cells were first lysed using ultrapure water to prepare protein and polypeptide components and water-insoluble components in the water-soluble components of the cancer cells, and then the nanovaccine was prepared using PLGA as the nanoparticle skeleton material.
[0254] In this embodiment, the cell membrane fraction of antigen-presenting cells was used. In practical applications, the membrane fraction of extracellular vesicles secreted by antigen-presenting cells may also be used; or the cell membrane fraction of bacteria or cancer cells may also be used at the same time.
[0255] In this embodiment, the antigen-presenting cell membrane component is located on the surface of the nanovaccine or microvaccine. In practical applications, the membrane component can also be located inside the nanovaccine or microvaccine. Furthermore, when the nanovaccine / microvaccine is loaded with membrane components of bacteria and cancer cells, the membrane component can be located on the surface of the nanovaccine or microvaccine or can also be loaded inside the nanovaccine or microvaccine.
[0256] (1) Preparation of antigen components
[0257] Cultured LLC cancer cells were harvested and enzymatically digested with pepsin (0.5 μg / mL) and trypsin (0.5 μg / mL) for 15 minutes. The cells were then resuspended in an appropriate amount of ultrapure water and repeatedly frozen and thawed five times. The lysate was then centrifuged at 5000 g for 5 minutes, and the supernatant, representing the water-soluble fraction, was collected. The resulting precipitate was dissolved in a 1 M guanidine sulfate and 0.1 M arginine aqueous solution, converting the water-insoluble antigen into a soluble antigen in the 1 M guanidine sulfate and 0.1 M arginine aqueous solution. Saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution was added dropwise to the water-soluble component in the lysate. After the precipitation was complete, the obtained sample was centrifuged at 3000g for 5 minutes, and the precipitate was dissolved in 1M guanidine sulfate and 0.1M arginine aqueous solution for later use. The supernatant was heated at 100°C for 10 minutes and the obtained sample was centrifuged at 3000g for 5 minutes. After the supernatant was discarded, the precipitate was dissolved in 1M guanidine sulfate and 0.1M arginine aqueous solution; the precipitate after salting out dissolved in 1M guanidine sulfate and 0.1M arginine aqueous solution and the precipitate after heating dissolved in 1M guanidine sulfate and 0.1M arginine aqueous solution were combined and used as part of the water-soluble component. The water-insoluble component in the lysate dissolved in 1M guanidine sulfate and 0.1M arginine aqueous solution, the component obtained by salting out and heating precipitate dissolved in 1M guanidine sulfate and 0.1M arginine in the water-soluble component, and three cancer-related antigen polypeptides (WT1 235-243 :CYTWNQMNL、WT1 86-102 :EQCLSAFTLHFSGQFTG and WT1 294-312:FRGIQDVRRVSGVAPTLVR) are mixed in a mass ratio of 10:1:1:1:1 to prepare antigen component 1 for cancer nanovaccine 1; the water-insoluble component in the lysate dissolved in the above 1M guanidine sulfate and 0.1M arginine aqueous solution and the component obtained by salting out and heating precipitation in the water-soluble component dissolved in 1M guanidine sulfate and 0.1M arginine are mixed in a mass ratio of 10:1 to prepare antigen component 2 for cancer nanovaccine 2.
[0258] (2) Preparation of nanovaccines loaded with antigen components and adjuvants
[0259] Nano vaccine 1 (Nanovaccine 1) in this embodiment is prepared by the double emulsion method in the solvent evaporation method.

The BMDC preparation method used was the conventional mouse BMDC preparation method. The B cell extraction process was as follows: the mouse was sacrificed and the spleen was removed, and then a single cell suspension of mouse spleen cells was prepared. Then, CD19 was sorted from the single cell suspension of spleen cells using magnetic bead sorting. + B cells. BMDCs and B cells are mixed at a 1:1 ratio and used as mixed antigen-presenting cells.
[0264] Nanovaccine 1 (500 μg) or nanovaccine 2 (500 μg) or nanovaccine 3 (500 μg) + an equal amount of free lysate were co-incubated with 20 million mixed antigen-presenting cells (10 million BMDCs + 10 million B cells) in 15 mL RPMI1640 complete culture medium for 48 hours (37°C, 5% CO2); the incubation system contained a cytokine combination: IL-15 (10 ng / mL), IL-7 (20 ng / mL), and IL-21 (10 ng / mL).

[0267] After incubation, 20 million mixed antigen-presenting cells (10 million BMDCs + 10 million B cells) were collected by centrifugation at 400g for 5 minutes, and then washed twice with normal saline. After the cells were resuspended in normal saline, low-power 7.5W ultrasound was used at 4°C for 10 minutes to destroy the cells and prepare a sample containing cell membrane components. The sample was then filtered through a filter membrane with a pore size of 50μm, 10μm, 5μm, 1μm, 0.45μm, and 0.22μm. The filtrate was collected and incubated with the corresponding nanovaccine (50mg) prepared in step (2) for 10 minutes, and then repeatedly co-extruded using a 400nm filter membrane. The extrudate was centrifuged at 15000g for 60 minutes, the supernatant was discarded, and the resulting precipitate was resuspended in normal saline to obtain nanoparticles. Among them, the nanoparticles prepared by the co-action of the mixed antigen-presenting cell membrane components activated by nanovaccine 1 and nanovaccine 1 are nanovaccine 4 (Nanovaccine 4), with a particle size of 300nm. Each 1mg of PLGA nanoparticles is loaded with approximately 200μg of protein or polypeptide components, and 0.02mg each of poly(I:C), CpG ODN 1018 (type B) and CpG ODN M362 (type C); each 1mg of PLGA nanoparticles is loaded with approximately 100μg of cell membrane components. Nanoparticles produced by co-administering nanovaccine 2 with mixed antigen-presenting cell membrane fractions activated by nanovaccine 2 are called nanovaccine 5. They have a particle size of 300 nm and are loaded with approximately 200 μg of protein or peptide components per 1 mg of PLGA nanoparticles, including 0.02 mg each of poly(I:C), CpG ODN 1018 (Class B), and CpG ODN M362 (Class C). Approximately 100 μg of cell membrane components are loaded per 1 mg of PLGA nanoparticles. Nanoparticles produced by co-administering nanovaccine 3 with mixed antigen-presenting cell membrane fractions are called nanovaccine 6. They have a particle size of 300 nm and are loaded with 0.02 mg each of poly(I:C), CpG ODN 1018 (Class B), and CpG ODN M362 (Class C). Approximately 100 μg of cell membrane components are loaded per 1 mg of PLGA nanoparticles.
[0268] Alternatively, 20 million mixed antigen-presenting cells (10 million BMDCs + 10 million B cells) co-incubated with nanovaccine 1 were collected by centrifugation at 400g for 5 minutes, and then washed twice with saline. The cells were resuspended in saline and then subjected to low-power 7.5W ultrasound at 4°C for 10 minutes to disrupt the cells and prepare a sample containing cell membrane components. The sample was then filtered once through a filter membrane with pore sizes of 50μm, 10μm, 5μm, 1μm, 0.45μm, and 0.22μm. The resulting filtrate was collected to obtain nanovaccine 7 (Nanovaccine 7) prepared from antigen-presenting cell membranes with a particle size of 200nm.
[0269] Alternatively, 20 million BMDCs incubated with nanovaccine 1 were collected by centrifugation at 400 g for 5 minutes, and then the BMDCs were washed twice with physiological saline. After the cells were resuspended in physiological saline, low-power 7.5 W ultrasound was used at 4 ° C for 10 minutes to destroy the cells and prepare a sample containing cell membrane components. The sample was then filtered through a filter membrane with a pore size of 50 μm, 10 μm, 5 μm, 1 μm, 0.45 μm, and 0.22 μm. The resulting filtrate was collected and incubated with the nanovaccine 1 (50 mg) prepared in step (2) for 10 minutes, and then repeatedly co-extruded using a 400 nm filter membrane. The extrudate was centrifuged at 15000 g for 60 minutes, the supernatant was discarded, and the supernatant was resuspended in ultrapure water containing 4% trehalose and freeze-dried for 48 hours. That is Nanovaccine 8, with a particle size of 300nm. Each 1mg of PLGA nanoparticles is loaded with approximately 200μg of protein and peptide components, 0.02mg each of poly(I:C), CpGODN 1018 (Class B), and CpG ODN M362 (Class C); each 1mg of PLGA nanoparticles is loaded with approximately 100μg of cell membrane components.
[0270] 20 million mixed antigen-presenting cells (10 million BMDCs + 10 million B cells) without incubation and stimulation were directly collected by centrifugation at 400g for 5 minutes, and then the cells were washed twice with saline. After the cells were resuspended in saline, low-power 7.5W ultrasound was used at 4°C for 10 minutes to destroy the cells and prepare a sample containing cell membrane components. The sample was then filtered once through filter membranes with pore sizes of 50 μm, 10 μm, 5 μm, 1 μm, 0.45 μm, and 0.22 μm. The resulting filtrate was collected and incubated with the corresponding nanovaccine 1 (50 mg) prepared in step (2) for 10 minutes. The sample was then repeatedly co-extruded using a 400 nm filter membrane. The extrudate was centrifuged at 15,000 g for 60 minutes. The supernatant was discarded and the resulting precipitate was resuspended in physiological saline to obtain nanovaccine 9 with a particle size of 300 nm. Each 1 mg of PLGA nanoparticles was loaded with approximately 200 μg of protein or polypeptide components, and 0.02 mg each of poly(I:C), CpG ODN 1018 (class B), and CpG ODN M362 (class C); and each 1 mg of PLGA nanoparticles was loaded with approximately 100 μg of cell membrane components.
[0271] (5) Nanovaccines for cancer treatment
[0272] Female C57BL / 6 mice aged 6-8 weeks were selected as model mice to prepare lung cancer tumor-bearing mice. On day 0, 1.5×10 6 LLC lung cancer cells were inoculated. Mice were subcutaneously injected with 100 μL of 0.02 mg of the nanovaccine (Nanovaccin 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9) or 100 μL of PBS on days 3, 6, 9, 14, and 20 after tumor inoculation. Tumor growth and survival were monitored as described above.
[0273] (6) Experimental results
[0274] like Figure 6 As shown, the tumors in mice in the PBS control group grew rapidly, and their survival was short. Compared with the control group, the tumor growth rate in mice in the vaccine group was significantly slowed, and some mice experienced tumor disappearance and recovery. Among them, nanovaccine 4 was the most effective. Furthermore, nanovaccines 4 and 5 were more effective than nanovaccine 9; and nanovaccines 5 and 8 were significantly better than nanovaccines 6 and 7. This suggests that membrane fractions derived from mixed antigen-presenting cells (DCs) and B cells are more effective than membrane fractions derived from single antigen-presenting cells (DCs). Furthermore, membrane fractions derived from antigen-presenting cells activated by nanoparticles loaded with cancer cell antigens are more effective than membrane fractions derived from antigen-presenting cells that have not been activated by nanoparticles.
[0275] In this example, pepsin and trypsin were used for enzymatic hydrolysis. In practical applications, other enzymes may be used for enzymatic hydrolysis, and oxidation, reduction, mineralization and other methods may be used to improve the immunogenicity of the antigen.
[0276] Example 5 Vaccine for the treatment of colorectal cancer
[0277] In this embodiment, ultrapure water is first used to lyse MC38 mouse colon cancer cells to prepare protein and polypeptide components and water-insoluble components in the water-soluble components of the cancer cells, and then a nano vaccine is prepared to treat colon cancer. In this embodiment, the extracellular vesicles of bacteria and the extracellular vesicles of cancer cells are loaded on the surface of the nano vaccine. In actual application, the extracellular vesicles of bacteria and the extracellular vesicles of cancer cells can also be loaded inside the nano vaccine as needed; or they can be loaded on the surface of the nano vaccine and inside the nano vaccine at the same time. The extracellular vesicles of bacteria and the extracellular vesicles of cancer cells used in this embodiment can also use the outer membrane components of bacteria or the membrane components of cancer cells in actual applications; or the membrane components (cell membrane or extracellular vesicle membrane) of antigen-presenting cells loaded with cancer cell antigens and any mixed membrane components derived from membrane components of cancer cells and / or membrane components derived from bacteria can also be used.
[0278] In this embodiment, ultrasound, co-incubation and co-extrusion methods were used to load the membrane components onto the surface of the nanovaccine. In actual applications, any method that can load the membrane components onto the surface of the nanovaccine or micron vaccine through co-action can also be used, including but not limited to one or more of ultrasound, co-incubation, co-extrusion, ultrafiltration, centrifugation, dialysis, chemical bond connection, stirring, dialysis, homogenization and homogenization.
[0279] (1) Preparation of antigen components
[0280] After collecting the cultured MC38 mouse colon cancer cells, discard the supernatant and add an appropriate amount of ultrapure water to the cell pellet to resuspend the cells and freeze-thaw repeatedly 5 times. The lysate was then centrifuged at 5000g for 5 minutes, and the supernatant was taken as the water-soluble component soluble in pure water; 6M guanidine hydrochloride aqueous solution was added to the obtained precipitate to dissolve the precipitate, and the non-water-soluble antigen insoluble in pure water was converted into a soluble antigen in 6M guanidine hydrochloride aqueous solution. The non-water-soluble components in the lysate dissolved in the above 6M guanidine hydrochloride aqueous solution, the water-soluble components in the lysate, and the cancer-related antigen WT1 235-243 -IO102 (CYTWNQMNLDTLLKALLEIASCLEKALQVF) and cancer-associated antigen WT1 294-312-IO103 (FRGIQDVRRVSGVAPTLVR-FMTYWHLLNAFTVTVPKDL) was mixed at a mass ratio of 1:1:1:0.1 to prepare the antigen component 1 for cancer nanovaccine 1 and nanovaccine 2. Among them, the cancer-related antigen WT1 235-243 -IO102's sequence is WT1 294-312 and IO103, two cancer-associated antigen sequences, WT1 294-312 -IO103 by WT1 294-312 It is composed of a chimeric combination of two cancer-associated antigen sequences, IO103 and IO103, and does not contain any other redundant amino acid sequences.
[0281] (2) Preparation of nanovaccines loaded with antigens and adjuvants
[0282] In this embodiment, nano vaccine 1 (Nanovaccine 1) was prepared using the double emulsion method in the solvent evaporation method. During preparation, the loaded antigen component was antigen component 1. The nano vaccine preparation material PLGA has a molecular weight of 7KDa-17KDa, the immune adjuvants are poly(I:C), CpG ODN 7909 (Class B) and CpG ODN 2395 (Class C), and the substance used to promote lysosomal escape is melittin. The preparation method is as described above. First, the double emulsion method is used to load the cell antigen component 1, adjuvant and melittin inside the nanoparticles. Then, 100mg of nanoparticles are centrifuged at 12000g for 20 minutes and resuspended in 10mL of ultrapure water containing 4% trehalose and freeze-dried for 48h. The nano vaccine 1 has an average particle size of about 380 nm. Each 1 mg of PLGA nanoparticles is loaded with about 800 μg of antigen protein or polypeptide component, 0.05 mg each of poly(I:C), CpG ODN 7909 (class B) and CpG ODN 2395 (class C), and 0.1 mg of melittin.
[0283] Nanovaccine 2 was prepared using the same materials and methods as Nanovaccine 1. The average particle size of Nanovaccine 2 was approximately 380 nm. Each 1 mg of PLGA nanoparticles was loaded with approximately 800 μg of antigen protein or polypeptide component and 0.1 mg of melittin, without any adjuvant.
[0284] (3) Preparation of bacterial extracellular vesicles (OMVs) and cancer cell extracellular vesicles
[0285] Bifidobacterium longum was centrifuged at 5000 g for 30 minutes, and the precipitate was discarded and the supernatant was collected. The supernatant was filtered using a 1 μm filter membrane, ultrasonically treated at 20 W for 5 minutes at 4°C, and then centrifuged at 16000 g for 90 minutes. The precipitate was resuspended in PBS to obtain the collected bacterial extracellular vesicle membrane component.
[0286] Alternatively, the cancer cells were centrifuged at 5000 g for 30 minutes, and the precipitate was discarded and the supernatant was collected. The supernatant was filtered using a 1 μm filter membrane, ultrasonically treated at 20 W for 5 minutes at 4°C, and then centrifuged at 16000 g for 90 minutes. The precipitate was resuspended in PBS to obtain the extracellular vesicle membrane component of the collected cancer cells.
[0287] The bacterial extracellular vesicle membrane fraction and the cancer cell extracellular vesicle membrane fraction are mixed in a mass ratio of 1:1 and set aside.
[0288] (4) Preparation of nanovaccines with internal antigen loading and surface loading of bacteria and cancer cell extracellular vesicle membrane components
[0289] 30 mg of the nano vaccine (nano vaccine 1 or nano vaccine 2) prepared in step (2) was mixed with 5 mg of the mixed membrane component of cancer cells and bacterial extracellular vesicles prepared in step (3) and allowed to stand for 1 minute. The mixture was then subjected to low-power 7.5 W ultrasound at 4°C for 1 minute and then repeatedly co-extruded through a filter membrane with a pore size of 0.45 μm. The resulting filtrate was collected and freeze-dried to obtain the nano vaccine. Among them, the nano vaccine 3 (Nanovaccine 3) obtained by co-acting the nano vaccine 1 with the mixed membrane component of cancer cells and bacterial extracellular vesicles had a particle size of 400 nm. Each 1 mg of PLGA nanoparticles was loaded with approximately 800 μg of antigen protein or polypeptide component, 0.05 mg each of poly(I:C), CpG ODN 7909 (class B) and CpG ODN 2395 (class C), 0.1 mg of melittin, and 20 μg of membrane component. Nanovaccine 4 was prepared by using nanovaccine 2 to interact with the mixed membrane components of cancer cells and bacterial extracellular vesicles. It has a particle size of 400 nm and each 1 mg of PLGA nanoparticles is loaded with approximately 800 μg of antigen protein or polypeptide components, 0.1 mg of bee venom peptide, and 20 μg of membrane components, without any adjuvant.
[0290] (5) Nanovaccines for cancer treatment
[0291] Female C57BL / 6 mice aged 6-8 weeks were selected as model mice to prepare colon cancer-bearing mice. On day 0, 1.0×10 6 MC38 colon cancer cells were inoculated. Mice were subcutaneously injected with 100 μL of 0.1 mg of either nanovaccine (Nanovaccine 3 or Nanovaccine 4) or 100 μL of PBS on days 3, 6, 9, 14, and 20 after tumor inoculation. Tumor growth and survival were monitored. Tumor volume was recorded every three days starting on day 3.
[0292] (6) Experimental results
[0293] The results show that Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the tumors in the PBS control group grew rapidly, resulting in a short survival period. However, the tumor growth rate of mice treated with the various nanovaccines was significantly slowed, and some mice even recovered from their tumors. Furthermore, nanovaccine 3 was more effective than nanovaccine 4. This suggests that the addition of an adjuvant can enhance the efficacy of nanovaccines.
[0294] In this embodiment, the extracellular vesicles of bacteria and cancer cells are loaded on the surface of the nanovaccine. In actual applications, the extracellular vesicles of bacteria and cancer cells can also be loaded inside the nanovaccine as needed; or they can be loaded on the surface of the nanovaccine and inside the nanovaccine at the same time. The extracellular vesicles of bacteria and cancer cells used in this embodiment can also use the outer membrane components of bacteria or the membrane components of cancer cells in actual applications; or a membrane component (cell membrane or extracellular vesicle membrane) of an antigen-presenting cell loaded with a cancer cell antigen and any mixed membrane component derived from a membrane component of a cancer cell and / or a membrane component derived from bacteria can also be used.
[0295] In this embodiment, ultrasound, co-incubation and co-extrusion methods were used to load the membrane components onto the surface of the nanovaccine. In actual applications, any method that can load the membrane components onto the surface of the nanovaccine or micron vaccine through co-action can also be used, including but not limited to one or more of ultrasound, co-incubation, co-extrusion, ultrafiltration, centrifugation, dialysis, chemical bond connection, stirring, dialysis, homogenization and homogenization.
[0296] In this embodiment, the membrane components of bacteria and cancer cells are located on the surface of the nano-vaccine or micro-vaccine. In practical applications, the membrane components of bacteria or cancer cells can also be loaded inside the nano-vaccine or micro-vaccine.
[0297] Example 6 Micron vaccine for the treatment of breast cancer
[0298] (1) Preparation of antigen components
[0299] The cultured 4T1 breast cancer cell line was collected and centrifuged at 350g for 5 minutes, and then the supernatant was discarded and washed twice with PBS. Then, ultrapure water containing 0.1% protease inhibitors was added to resuspend the cells and the cells were repeatedly frozen and thawed 5 times to lyse the cancer cells. The lysate components were then dissolved in a 3M guanidine sulfate aqueous solution. The cancer cell lysate components dissolved in the 3M guanidine sulfate aqueous solution and the cancer-associated antigen WT were added. 1235-243 -IO102( GASAYGSL CYTWNQMNLDTLLKALLEIASCLEKALQVF CYTWNQ ) and cancer-associated antigen WT1 294-312 IO103(FRGIQDVRRVSGVAPTLVR- EQCLSAFTL - FMTYWHLLNAFTVTVPKDL ) is the antigen component 1 for preparing the vaccine. Among them, the cancer-associated antigen WT1 235-243 -IO102's sequence is WT1 294-312 It is composed of two cancer-related antigen sequences, IO103 and some other additional amino acid sequences. The additional amino acid sequences GASAYGSL and CYTWNQ are located at both ends of the polypeptide sequence; WT1 294-312 -IO103 by WT1 294-312 The two cancer-associated antigen sequences IO103 and IO103 are chimeric with other additional amino acid sequences, and the additional sequence EQCLSAFTL is sandwiched between the other two cancer-associated antigen sequences.
[0300] (2) Preparation of micronized vaccines
[0301] In this example, micron vaccine 1 (Micronvaccine 1) was prepared using a double emulsion method. The PLGA material used in preparing micron vaccine 1 has a molecular weight of 24 kDa-38 kDa, and the immune adjuvants used are CpG ODN BW006, CpG ODN 2216, and PolyICLC. PolyICLC is a toll-like receptor 3 agonist, while various CpGs are toll-like receptor 9 agonists. Both toll-like receptor 3 and toll-like receptor 9 are located in the endosomal membrane structure within the cell. First, the antigen component 1 and the immune adjuvant were co-loaded into micron particles. The particles were then centrifuged at 10,000 g for 15 minutes, resuspended in 10 mL of ultrapure water containing 4% trehalose, and freeze-dried for 48 hours. Prior to use, the particles were resuspended in 7 mL of PBS, and 3 mL of the antigen component (protein concentration 50 mg / mL) was added and incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes to obtain micron vaccine 1 loaded with the antigen component both internally and externally. The average particle size of the micronized particles is about 2.50 μm; each 1 mg of PLGA micronized particles 1 is loaded with about 140 μg of protein or polypeptide components, and 0.03 mg of each of CpG BW006 (type B), CpG 2216 (type A), and Poly ICLC is loaded.
[0302] Micronvaccine 2 uses the same materials and methods, and is loaded with the following immune adjuvants: CpG2336 (Class A), CpG 2216 (Class A), and Poly-ICLC. Micronvaccine 2 has a particle size of approximately 2.50 μm, and each mg of PLGA microparticles carries approximately 140 μg of protein or peptide components. Each mg of PLGA microparticles contains 0.03 mg each of CpG2336 (Class A), CpG2216 (Class A), and Poly-ICLC.
[0303] Micronvaccine 3 uses the same materials and methods as the other vaccines, and is loaded with CpGBW006 (Class B) and CpG 2216 (Class A) as adjuvants. Each 1mg of PLGA microparticles in Micronvaccine 3 has a particle size of approximately 2.50μm and carries approximately 140μg of protein or peptide components. Each 1mg of PLGA microparticles contains 0.045mg each of CpG BW006 (Class B) and CpG 2216 (Class A).
[0304] (3) Treatment of cancer with micron vaccines
[0305] Female BALB / C mice aged 6-8 weeks were selected as model mice for the preparation of breast cancer tumor-bearing mice. On day 0, 1.0×10 6 4T1 cells were injected subcutaneously with 0.8 mg of the microvaccine (microvaccine 1, microvaccine 2, or microvaccine 3) or 100 μL of PBS on days 4, 7, 10, 15, 20, and 25 after cancer cell inoculation. Tumor growth and survival of mice were monitored as described above.
[0306] (4) Experimental results
[0307] like Figure 8 As shown, tumors in control mice grew, while tumor growth in mice treated with the microvaccine was significantly slowed and survival was significantly prolonged. Furthermore, the microvaccine loaded with a mixed adjuvant of CpG and Poly-ICLC was more effective than the microvaccine loaded with a mixed adjuvant of two CpGs. Furthermore, the microvaccine loaded with a mixed adjuvant of one class B CpG, one class A CpG, and Poly-ICLC was more effective than the microvaccine loaded with a mixed adjuvant of two class A CpGs and Poly-ICLC. This suggests that microvaccines loaded with mixed adjuvants of two different toll-like receptors are more effective, and that the microvaccine containing a mixed adjuvant of a class B CpG and a Toll-like receptor 3 agonist was even more effective.
[0308] Example 7 Micron Vaccine for Cancer Prevention
[0309] (1) Preparation of antigen components
[0310] Each C57BL / 6 mouse was subcutaneously inoculated with 1.5 × 10 5 B16F10 cells, when the tumor grows to about 1000mm 3Mice were sacrificed and tumor tissue was harvested. The tumor tissue was cut into pieces, passed through a cell strainer, and an appropriate amount of ultrapure water was added. The tumor tissue was then repeatedly frozen and thawed five times to lyse the tumor tissue. The lysate was then centrifuged at 5000g for 5 minutes. The supernatant was the water-soluble fraction soluble in pure water. A 0.3M aqueous semicarbazide hydrochloride solution was added to the resulting precipitate to dissolve the precipitate, converting the water-insoluble fraction into a fraction soluble in 0.3M semicarbazide hydrochloride. A saturated aqueous magnesium sulfate solution was added dropwise to the water-soluble fraction in the lysate. After complete precipitation, the resulting sample was centrifuged at 12000g for 5 minutes. The precipitate was dissolved in 0.3M semicarbazide hydrochloride and set aside. The supernatant was heated at 100°C for 2 minutes and then centrifuged at 3000g for 5 minutes. The supernatant was discarded and the precipitate was dissolved in 0.3M semicarbazide hydrochloride. The precipitate after salting out and the heated precipitate were combined and used as part of the water-soluble fraction. Saturated magnesium sulfate aqueous solution was added dropwise to the water-insoluble components of the lysate dissolved in 0.3 M hydrochloric acid semicarbazide aqueous solution. After complete precipitation, the resulting sample was centrifuged at 12,000 g for 5 minutes, and the precipitated components were redissolved in 0.3 M hydrochloric acid semicarbazide aqueous solution. The antigen component 1 for preparing the cancer micron vaccine was prepared by mixing a portion of the water-insoluble components of the lysate dissolved in 0.3 M hydrochloric acid semicarbazide aqueous solution, a portion of the water-soluble components dissolved in 0.3 M hydrochloric acid semicarbazide, and mRNA encoding two cancer-associated antigens (IO102: DTLLKALLEIASCLEKALQVF and IO103: FMTYWHLLNAFTVTVPKDL) in a mass ratio of 1:2:1.
[0311] Alternatively, 1.5 × 10 5 B16F10 cells, when the tumor grows to about 1000mm 3Mice were sacrificed and tumor tissue was harvested. The tumor tissue was cut into pieces, passed through a cell strainer, and added with an appropriate amount of ultrapure water. The tumor tissue was then repeatedly frozen and thawed five times to lyse the tumor tissue. The lysate was then centrifuged at 5000g for 5 minutes. The supernatant was collected as the water-soluble fraction soluble in pure water. A 5% PEG5000 aqueous solution was added to the resulting precipitate to solubilize the precipitate, thereby obtaining a fraction of the water-insoluble fraction dissolved in 5% PEG5000. A saturated magnesium sulfate aqueous solution was added dropwise to the water-soluble fraction in the lysate. After complete precipitation, the resulting sample was centrifuged at 12000g for 5 minutes. The precipitate was dissolved in 5% PEG5000 aqueous solution and set aside. The supernatant was heated at 100°C for 2 minutes and then centrifuged at 3000g for 5 minutes. The supernatant was discarded and the precipitate was solubilized in 5% PEG5000 aqueous solution. The precipitate after salting out and the heated precipitate dissolved in 5% PEG5000 aqueous solution were combined and used as part of the water-soluble fraction. Saturated magnesium sulfate solution was added dropwise to the water-insoluble fraction of the lysate dissolved in 5% PEG5000 aqueous solution. After complete precipitation, the resulting sample was centrifuged at 12,000 g for 5 minutes. The precipitated fraction was then solubilized a second time with 5% PEG5000 aqueous solution. Antigen component 2 for preparing the cancer micron vaccine was prepared by combining a portion of the water-insoluble fraction of the lysate dissolved in 5% PEG5000 aqueous solution, a portion of the water-soluble fraction dissolved in 5% PEG5000 aqueous solution, and mRNA encoding two cancer-associated antigens (IO102: DTLLKALLEIASCLEKALQVF and IO103: FMTYWHLLNAFTVTVPKDL) in a mass ratio of 1:2:1.
[0312] Alternatively, mRNA encoding two cancer-associated antigens (10102: DTLLKALLEIASCLEKALQVF and 10103: FMTYWHLLNAFTVTVPKDL) was used as antigen component 3 for preparing the control micro vaccine.
[0313] (2) Preparation of micrometers
[0314] In this example, micron vaccine 1 (Micronvaccine 1) was prepared using a solvent evaporation method. The PLGA material used in Micron Vaccine 1 has a molecular weight of 38-54 kDa, and the immunoadjuvants used are Poly(I:C), CpG2006 (Class B), and CpGSL01 (Class B). The preparation method is as described above. After loading the antigen component 1 and adjuvants into the micron particles, 100 mg of the micron particles were centrifuged at 10,000 g for 15 minutes, resuspended in 10 mL of ultrapure water containing 4% trehalose, and freeze-dried for 48 hours to obtain a lyophilized powder for later use. Micron Vaccine 1 has an average particle size of approximately 5.0 μm. Each 1 mg of PLGA micron particle is loaded with approximately 60 μg of tumor tissue protein and peptide components, 0.02 mg each of Poly(I:C), CpG2006, and CpGSL01, and 20 μg of mRNA.
[0315] Micronvaccine 2 was prepared using the same method as Micronvaccine 1. Antigen component 2 and adjuvant were co-loaded within the micron particles. Micronvaccine 2 had an average particle size of approximately 5.0 μm, and each 1 mg of PLGA microparticles was loaded with approximately 60 μg of tumor tissue protein and peptide components. Each 1 mg of PLGA microparticles contained 0.02 mg each of Poly(I:C), CpG2006, and CpGSL01, along with 20 μg of mRNA.
[0316] The preparation materials and methods of Micronvaccine 3 are the same as those of Micronvaccine 1. The particle size is about 5.0 μm, and it is loaded with an equal amount of antigen component 1. The loaded immune adjuvant is Poly(I:C), with 0.06 mg of Poly(I:C) and 20 μg of mRNA loaded per 1 mg of PLGA.
[0317] Micronvaccine 4 was prepared using the same materials and methods as Micronvaccine 1. It was loaded with antigen component 1 and adjuvant, and had a particle size of approximately 5.0 μm. Each 1 mg of PLGA microparticles was loaded with approximately 0.05 μg of tumor tissue protein and peptide components, 0.02 mg each of Poly(I:C), CpG2006, and CpGSL01 peptides, and 0.02 μg of mRNA.
[0318] Micronvaccine 5 was prepared similarly to Micronvaccine 1 and loaded with antigen component 3 and adjuvant. Micronvaccine 5 had an average particle size of approximately 5.0 μm. Each 1 mg of PLGA microparticles contained approximately 60 μg of tumor tissue protein and peptide components, approximately 0.02 mg each of Poly(I:C), CpG2006, and CpGSL01, and 20 μg of mRNA.
[0319] (3) Micron vaccines for cancer prevention
[0320] Melanoma-bearing mice were prepared by selecting 6-8 week old female C57BL / 6 mice as model mice. 6 mg of micro vaccine (micro vaccine 1, micro vaccine 2, micro vaccine 3, micro vaccine 4, or micro vaccine 5) or 100 μL of PBS were injected subcutaneously on days -35, -28, -21, and -14 before tumor inoculation. On day 0, 1.5×10 5 The methods for monitoring tumor growth rate and survival of mice were the same as above.
[0321] (4) Experimental results
[0322] The results show that Figure 9 As shown, tumors in mice in the PBS control group grew rapidly, while tumor growth in mice in the microvaccine-treated group slowed significantly, and tumors disappeared in most mice after cancer cell inoculation. Microvaccine 1 was more effective than microvaccines 2, 3, 4, and 5. This suggests that vaccines prepared using both lysate fractions and mRNA encoding cancer-associated antigens as antigenic components are more effective than vaccines prepared using only mRNA encoding the antigens; microvaccines loaded with two B-class CpGs and Poly(I:C) as mixed adjuvants are more effective than microvaccines loaded with Poly(I:C) alone; microvaccines prepared using an antigenic component derived from the precipitate of the water-insoluble fraction of the lysate dissolved in 0.3M hydrochloric acid semicarbazide and the water-soluble fraction, followed by salting-out, are more effective than PEG5000; and microvaccines with higher concentrations of antigenic components are more effective.

[0325] After the cultured E.G7-OVA cell line is collected and centrifuged at 350g for 5 minutes, the supernatant is discarded and the cells are washed twice with PBS. The cells are then resuspended in ultrapure water and repeatedly frozen and thawed 5 times, optionally accompanied by sonication to disrupt the lysed cells. After the cells are lysed, trypsin (0.5mg / mL) and chymotrypsin (0.5mg / mL) are added and incubated for 10 minutes, followed by heating at 95°C for 10 minutes. The lysate is then centrifuged at 10,000g for 5 minutes and the supernatant is obtained as the water-soluble fraction soluble in pure water; 0.1M metformin hydrochloride aqueous solution is added to the resulting precipitate to dissolve the precipitate, thereby converting the water-insoluble fraction in pure water into a fraction soluble in 0.1M metformin hydrochloride aqueous solution.
[0326] A saturated aqueous ammonium sulfate solution was added dropwise to the water-soluble component in the lysate. After complete precipitation, the resulting sample was centrifuged at 12,000 g for 5 minutes, and the precipitate was dissolved in a 0.1 M metformin hydrochloride aqueous solution for later use. The supernatant was heated at 100° C. for 2 minutes, and the resulting sample was centrifuged at 3,000 g for 5 minutes. After discarding the supernatant, the precipitate was dissolved in a 0.1 M metformin hydrochloride aqueous solution. The salted-out precipitate dissolved in 0.1 M metformin hydrochloride and the heated precipitate were then combined and used as part of the water-soluble component.
[0327] All water-insoluble components in the lysate dissolved in the above 0.1M metformin hydrochloride solution, some components in the water-soluble components dissolved in the 0.1M metformin hydrochloride solution, cancer-related antigen polypeptide IO102 (DTLLKALLEIASCLEKALQVF) and cancer-related antigen polypeptide IO103 (FMTYWHLLNAFTVTVPKDL) were mixed in a mass ratio of 5:1:0.1:0.2, and then the above components were oxidized using hypochlorous acid for 15 minutes to prepare the antigen component 1 of the nanovaccine.

On day 0, each mouse was subcutaneously inoculated with 5×10 5 The mice were subcutaneously injected with 100 μL PBS or 0.1 mg of nanovaccine (nanovaccine 1 or nanovaccine 2) on days 5, 8, 13, and 20. The tumor volume and survival of the mice were monitored as above.
[0335] (5) Experimental results
[0336] like Figure 9 As shown, the tumors of mice in the PBS control group grew rapidly and the mice had a short survival period. Compared with the control group, the tumor growth rate of mice treated with both nanovaccines was significantly slowed down and the survival period was significantly prolonged, and the effect of nanovaccine 1 was better.
[0337] This embodiment uses hypochlorous acid as an oxidant to oxidize the antigen component. In practical applications, natural gas and other oxidants can also be used to oxidize the antigen.

[0339] (1) Preparation of antigen components
[0340] Two cultured melanoma cell lines, B16F10 and S91, were harvested and mixed at a 1:1 ratio. The cells were then centrifuged at 500g for 5 minutes, the supernatant discarded, and the cells were washed twice with PBS. The cells were then resuspended in ultrapure water and repeatedly freeze-thawed five times with sonication to lyse the cells. Following cell lysis, the lysate was centrifuged at 10,000g for 5 minutes, and the supernatant was collected as the water-soluble fraction. The resulting precipitate was dissolved in a 0.2M arginine and 0.2M polyhexamethyleneguanidine hydrochloride aqueous solution, converting the water-insoluble fraction into a fraction soluble in the 0.2M arginine and 0.2M polyhexamethyleneguanidine hydrochloride aqueous solution.

The precipitate was dissolved in a 0.2 M arginine and 0.2 M polyhexamethyleneguanidine hydrochloride aqueous solution for later use. The supernatant was treated with DNA digestion enzyme for 5 minutes, heated at 100°C for 2 minutes, and then centrifuged at 3,000 g for 5 minutes. The supernatant was discarded and the precipitate was dissolved in a 0.2 M arginine and 0.2 M polyhexamethyleneguanidine hydrochloride aqueous solution. The salted-out precipitate dissolved in 0.2 M arginine and the heated precipitate were then combined and used as part of the water-soluble fraction. Saturated ammonium sulfate was added dropwise to the water-insoluble fraction in the lysate. After complete precipitation, the resulting sample was centrifuged at 12,000 g for 5 minutes. The precipitate was redissolved in a 0.2 M arginine and 0.2 M polyhexamethyleneguanidine hydrochloride aqueous solution to form part of the water-insoluble fraction. The above 0.2M arginine and 0.2M polyhexamethyleneguanidine hydrochloride solution secondary dissolution of some components of the water-insoluble components in the lysate, 0.2M arginine and 0.2M polyhexamethyleneguanidine hydrochloride solution dissolved some components of the water-soluble components, cancer-related antigen polypeptide IO102 (DTLLKALLEIASCLEKALQVF) and cancer-related antigen polypeptide IO103 (FMTYWHLLNAFTVTVPKDL) were mixed in a mass ratio of 1:5:0.5:0.5 to prepare the antigen component 1 of the nanovaccine.
[0342] Alternatively, without separating and purifying the water-soluble and water-insoluble components, all water-insoluble components, water-soluble components, cancer-associated antigen polypeptide IO102 (DTLLKALLEIASCLEKALQVF) and cancer-associated antigen polypeptide IO103 (FMTYWHLLNAFTVTVPKDL) in the lysate dissolved in 0.2 M arginine and 0.2 M polyhexamethyleneguanidine hydrochloride solution are directly mixed in a mass ratio of 1:5:0.5:0.5 to prepare the antigen component 2 of the nanovaccine.
[0343] Alternatively, the cancer-associated antigen polypeptide IO102 (DTLLKALLEIASCLEKALQVF) and the cancer-associated antigen polypeptide IO103 (FMTYWHLLNAFTVTVPKDL) are mixed at a mass ratio of 1:1 to obtain antigen component 3.
[0344] (2) Preparation of nanovaccines
[0345] In this example, nanovaccine 1 was prepared using a double emulsion method. Nanovaccine 1 is made of PLGA (with a molecular weight of 24-38 kDa), with poly(I:C) and CpG1018 as immune adjuvants, and the substance that enhances lysosomal immune escape is the KALA polypeptide (WEAKLAKALAKALAKHLAKALAKALKACEA). The preparation method is as described above. First, the antigen component 1, adjuvant, and KALA polypeptide are loaded into the nanoparticles using the double emulsion method. Then, 100 mg of nanoparticles are centrifuged at 12,000 g for 25 minutes, resuspended in 10 mL of ultrapure water containing 4% trehalose, and freeze-dried for 48 hours. The nanoparticles have an average particle size of approximately 250 nm. Each 1 mg of PLGA nanoparticles carries approximately 100 μg of the antigen protein or polypeptide component, 0.04 mg each of poly(I:C) and CpG1018, and 0.3 mg of the KALA polypeptide.
[0346] Nanovaccine 2 was prepared using the same materials and methods, but the loaded antigen component was antigen component 2, which had a particle size of approximately 250 nm. Each 1 mg of PLGA nanoparticles loaded approximately 100 μg of antigen protein or polypeptide component, 0.04 mg each of poly(I:C) and CpG1018, and 0.3 mg of KALA polypeptide.
[0347] The preparation materials and preparation methods of Nanovaccine 3 are the same, but the loaded antigen component is antigen component 3, whose particle size is about 250nm. Each 1mg of PLGA nanoparticles is loaded with approximately 100μg of antigen polypeptide component, 0.04mg each of poly(I:C) and CpG1018, and 0.3mg of KALA polypeptide.
[0348] (3) Nanovaccines for cancer treatment
[0349] Melanoma-bearing mice were prepared by selecting 6-8 week old female C57BL / 6 mice as model mice. On day 0, 1.5×10 5 B16F10 cells were inoculated. 100 μL of PBS or 0.4 mg of the corresponding nanovaccine were subcutaneously injected on days 4, 7, 10, 15, and 20 after melanoma inoculation. Tumor volume and survival of mice were monitored as described above.
[0350] (4) Experimental results
[0351] like Figure 11 As shown, tumors in the PBS control group grew rapidly. Compared to the control group, mice treated with the nanovaccines showed significantly slower tumor growth and prolonged survival. Furthermore, nanovaccine 1 was more effective than nanovaccines 2 and 3, demonstrating that isolating and purifying protein and peptide components from cell lysates can enhance vaccine efficacy. Furthermore, vaccines loaded with both cell lysate components and synthetic antigen peptide components were more effective than those loaded with only the antigen peptide component.
[0352] Example 10 Micron Vaccine for Cancer Prevention
[0353] (1) Preparation of antigen components
[0354] Cultured E.G7-OVA mouse T lymphoma cells were centrifuged at 400 g for 5 minutes, washed twice with PBS, and resuspended in ultrapure water. The resulting cancer cells were inactivated and denatured by ultraviolet light and high-temperature heating (55°C), respectively. The cancer cells were then repeatedly frozen and thawed five times to lyse the cancer cells. 0.01 mg / mL nuclease was then added for 5 minutes to digest and degrade the nucleic acids in the lysate. The nuclease was then inactivated by heating at 95°C for 5 minutes. The cancer cell lysate components were then dissolved using 0.3 M methylguanidine hydrochloride and 0.1 M tetramethylguanidine hydrochloride aqueous solutions.
[0355] Lactobacillus acidophilus was centrifuged at 5000g for 30 minutes, and the precipitate was discarded and the supernatant was collected. The supernatant was filtered using a 1 μm filter membrane and then centrifuged at 16000g for 90 minutes. The supernatant was discarded and the resulting precipitate was the bacterial extracellular vesicle component. The precipitate was lysed using 0.3M methylguanidine hydrochloride and 0.1M tetramethylguanidine hydrochloride aqueous solution to dissolve the bacterial extracellular vesicle component.
[0356] A cancer cell lysate component dissolved in a 0.3M methylguanidine hydrochloride and 0.1M tetramethylguanidine hydrochloride aqueous solution and a bacterial extracellular vesicle component dissolved in a 0.3M methylguanidine hydrochloride and 0.1M tetramethylguanidine hydrochloride aqueous solution were mixed at a mass ratio of 8:1. Saturated ammonium sulfate aqueous solution was then added dropwise to the mixed sample for salting out. After complete precipitation, the resulting sample was centrifuged at 12,000 g for 5 minutes. The supernatant was discarded, and the salted-out precipitate was redissolved in a 0.3M methylguanidine hydrochloride and 0.1M tetramethylguanidine hydrochloride aqueous solution. The protein and polypeptide components of the cancer cells and bacteria, which were redissolved in the 0.3M methylguanidine hydrochloride and 0.1M tetramethylguanidine hydrochloride aqueous solution, and the cancer-associated antigen polypeptides 10102 (DTLLKALLEIASCLEKALQVF) and 10103 (FMTYWHLLNAFTVTVPKDL) were mixed at a mass ratio of 1:1:1 to obtain antigen component 1 for preparing the micron vaccine.
[0357] (2) Preparation of micronized vaccines
[0358] In this example, micron vaccine 1 (Micronvaccine 1) was prepared using a double emulsion method. The PLGA backbone material of Micronvaccine 1 has a molecular weight of 20-40 kDa, and the immune adjuvants are CpG2006 (Class B), CpG2216 (Class A), and Poly-ICLC. During preparation, micron particles loaded with the antigen component and adjuvant were prepared using the double emulsion method. Subsequently, 100 mg of the micron particles were centrifuged at 8000 g for 15 minutes, resuspended in 10 mL of ultrapure water containing 4% trehalose, and dried for 48 hours to obtain Micronvaccine 1. The average particle size was approximately 3.0 μm. Each 1 mg of PLGA Micronvaccine 1 was loaded with approximately 2 mg of protein or peptide components, and 0.07 mg each of CpG2006, CpG2216, and Poly-ICLC.
[0359] The preparation materials and preparation methods of Micronvaccine 2 are the same as those of Micronvaccine 1. The particle size is about 3.0 μm. It is loaded with the same amount of antigen component 1, but does not load CpG2006, CpG2216 and Poly ICLC.
[0360] (3) Micron vaccines for cancer prevention
[0361] Tumor-bearing mice were prepared by selecting female C57BL / 6 mice aged 6-8 weeks. 100 μL PBS or 1.5 mg of micro-vaccine (micro-vaccine 1 or micro-vaccine 2) were subcutaneously injected into the mice on days -35, -28, -21, -14, and -7 before tumor inoculation. 5×10 5The tumor volume and survival of mice were monitored using the same method as above.
[0362] (4) Experimental results
[0363] like Figure 12 As shown, compared with the PBS control group, the tumor growth rate of mice treated with micro-vaccine was significantly slowed and the survival time of mice was significantly prolonged. Moreover, micro-vaccine 1 was significantly better than micro-vaccine 2, indicating that the use of mixed adjuvants can help improve the effectiveness of vaccines.

[0366] The MC38 cancer cell line and its culture medium were collected and centrifuged at 500g for 5 minutes. The cell pellet was collected and lysed with a 6M guanidine hydrochloride aqueous solution until completely dissolved, thereby obtaining the collected cancer cell lysate component.

Poly(I:C), CpG2336, and CpG2006 are used as adjuvants. Both the antigen component 1 and the immune adjuvant are loaded into the nanoparticles. The preparation method is as described above. First, the antigen component 1 and the adjuvant are loaded into the nanoparticles. Then, 100 mg of the nanoparticles are centrifuged at 15,000 g for 30 minutes, resuspended in 10 mL of ultrapure water containing 4% trehalose, and freeze-dried for 48 hours before use. The nanoparticles 1, or nanovaccine 1, have an average particle size of approximately 110 nm. Each 1 mg of PLGA nanoparticles is loaded with approximately 2 μg of protein and polypeptide components, and 0.01 mg each of poly(I:C), CpG2336, and CpG2006.
[0371] The preparation materials and preparation methods of nanovaccine 2 are the same as those of nanovaccine 1, but the internal load is antigen component 2 and adjuvant.

[0373] (3) Preparation and activation of antigen-presenting cells
[0374] This example uses BMDC and B as antigen-presenting cells. The BMDC preparation method is the same as above. B cells are obtained from mouse peripheral blood PBMCs using magnetic bead sorting. BMDC and B cells are mixed in a 1:1 ratio to form mixed antigen-presenting cells. 1 mg of nanoparticles 1 or nanoparticles 2 or nanoparticles 3 were co-incubated with BMDC (10 million) and B cells (10 million) in 15 mL of high-glucose DMEM complete culture medium for 48 hours (37°C, 5% CO2); the incubation system contained vinblastine (10 ng / mL) and IL-15 (50 ng / mL).
[0375] (4) Preparation of nanovaccines loaded with membrane components of antigen-presenting cells and extracellular vesicle membrane components of cancer cells
[0376] After incubation, 20 million mixed antigen-presenting cells were collected and centrifuged at 400 g for 5 minutes. The precipitate was discarded and the supernatant was collected. The supernatant was centrifuged at 16,000 g for 60 minutes, the supernatant was discarded and the precipitate was collected. The precipitate was resuspended in PBS to obtain the extracellular vesicles of activated antigen-presenting cells.
[0377] 20 million cultured MC38 cells were collected and centrifuged at 400g for 5 minutes. The precipitate was discarded and the supernatant was collected. The supernatant was centrifuged at 15000g for 60 minutes, the supernatant was discarded and the precipitate was collected. The precipitate was resuspended in PBS to obtain extracellular vesicles of cancer cells.
[0378] The collected activated antigen-presenting cell extracellular vesicles were mixed with cancer cell extracellular vesicles, and then sonicated at 4°C for 2 minutes at low power (20W), and then repeatedly co-extruded using a 0.22μm filter membrane. The extrudate was mixed with the nanoparticles 1 or 2 prepared in step (2) and treated with a high-pressure homogenizer (10000 bar) for 1 minute. Then, the mixture was repeatedly co-extruded using a 0.22μm filter membrane. After centrifugation at 15000g for 30 minutes, the supernatant was discarded and the precipitate was collected. The precipitate was resuspended in a 4% trehalose aqueous solution and freeze-dried for 48 hours to obtain a nanovaccine. Among them, the nanovaccine prepared by co-acting the antigen-presenting cell extracellular vesicle membrane component activated by nanoparticle 1 with nanoparticle 1 is nanovaccine 4, which has a particle size of 120nm and is loaded with 10μg each of poly(I:C), CpG2336, and CpG2006 immune adjuvants per 1mg of PLGA, with approximately 80μg of membrane component loaded per 1mg of PLGA. Nanovaccine 5 was prepared by co-administering the extracellular vesicle membrane fraction of antigen-presenting cells activated by nanoparticle 2 with nanoparticle 2. Its particle size was 120 nm, and 10 μg each of poly(I:C), CpG2336, and CpG2006 immune adjuvants were loaded per 1 mg of PLGA, resulting in approximately 80 μg of membrane fraction per 1 mg of PLGA. Nanovaccine 6 was prepared by co-administering the extracellular vesicle membrane fraction of antigen-presenting cells activated by nanoparticle 3 with nanoparticle 3. Its particle size was 120 nm, and 10 μg each of poly(I:C), CpG2336, and CpG2006 immune adjuvants were loaded per 1 mg of PLGA, resulting in approximately 80 μg of membrane fraction per 1 mg of PLGA.
[0379] (5) Nanovaccines for cancer treatment
[0380] Female C57BL / 6 mice aged 6-8 weeks were selected as model mice for colon cancer. On day 0, 2×10 6MC38 cells were inoculated. 0.4 mg of the nanovaccine (Nanovaccine 4, Nanovaccine 5, or Nanovaccine 6) or 100 μL of PBS was subcutaneously injected on days 6, 9, 12, 15, 20, and 25 after colon cancer cell inoculation. Tumor growth and survival of the mice were monitored as described above.
[0381] (6) Experimental results
[0382] like Figure 13 As shown, compared with the PBS control group, mice treated with nanovaccines showed significantly slower tumor growth and prolonged survival. Furthermore, nanovaccine 4 was more effective than nanovaccines 5 and 6. This demonstrates that vaccines prepared from precipitates treated with salting-out methods must be dissolved or solubilized with appropriate solvents to achieve effective therapeutic effects.
[0383] In this embodiment, a nano-vaccine or micro-vaccine is used to load the membrane components of activated dendritic cells and B cells on its surface. In actual applications, only the membrane components of activated dendritic cells can be loaded, or a mixed membrane component of activated dendritic cells, B cells and macrophages can be loaded, or a membrane component of cancer cells can be added to the membrane component of the above-mentioned antigen-presenting cells, or a membrane component of bacteria can be added to the membrane component of the above-mentioned antigen-presenting cells.

[0390] (2) Preparation of nanovaccines
[0391] In this example, nanovaccine 1 was prepared using a double emulsion method. The framework materials for nanovaccine 1 were PLA (molecular weight 40 kDa) and mannose-PEG2000-PLA (PLA molecular weight 10-20 kDa), with a mass ratio of PLGA (molecular weight 10-20 kDa) to mannose-PEG2000-PLGA (PLGA molecular weight 40 kDa) of 9:1. The immunoadjuvants used were CpG2006 (Class B), CpG2216 (Class A), and Poly ICLC, and the positively charged substance used was the R8 polypeptide (RRRRRRRR). During preparation, the double emulsion method is first used to prepare micron particles loaded with antigen component 1, adjuvant and R8 polypeptide. Then, 100 mg of nanoparticles are centrifuged at 12000g for 25 minutes, resuspended in 10 mL of ultrapure water containing 4% trehalose, and dried for 48 hours to obtain nanovaccine 1 with an average particle size of about 200 nm. Each 1 mg of PLGA nanoparticles 1 is loaded with approximately 5 μg of protein and polypeptide components of cancer cells, 0.02 mg each of CpG2006, CpG2216 and Poly ICLC, and 0.05 mg of R8 polypeptide.

[0400] In this example, ultrapure water was first used to lyse B16F10 melanoma tumor tissue to prepare protein and polypeptide components and water-insoluble antigens in the water-soluble components of the tumor tissue. Then, a nanovaccine was prepared using the organic polymer material PLGA as the nanoparticle skeleton material and poly(I:C) as the immune adjuvant by a solvent evaporation method.
[0401] (1) Preparation of antigen components
[0402] Each C57BL / 6 mouse was subcutaneously inoculated with 1.5 × 10 5 B16F10 cells, when the tumor grows to a volume of approximately 1000 mm 3Mice were killed and tumor tissue was removed. The tumor tissue was cut into pieces and ground, then passed through a cell strainer, added with an appropriate amount of ultrapure water, and repeatedly frozen and thawed five times, accompanied by sonication to destroy and lyse the cells. After lysis, the lysate was centrifuged at 5000g for 5 minutes, and the supernatant was collected as the water-soluble component soluble in pure water. The resulting precipitate was dissolved by adding a 2M aqueous solution of semicarbazide hydrochloride and 0.2M agmatine sulfate to the precipitate, converting the water-insoluble component in pure water into a component soluble in a 2M aqueous solution of semicarbazide hydrochloride and 0.2M agmatine sulfate. A saturated aqueous ammonium sulfate solution was added dropwise to the water-soluble component in the lysate. After complete precipitation, the resulting sample was centrifuged at 3000 g for 5 minutes, and the precipitate was dissolved in a 2M hydrochloric acid semicarbazide and 0.2M agmatine sulfate aqueous solution for later use. The supernatant was heated at 100° C. for 5 minutes, and the resulting sample was centrifuged at 3000 g for 5 minutes. After discarding the supernatant, the precipitate was dissolved in a 2M hydrochloric acid semicarbazide and 0.2M agmatine sulfate aqueous solution; the salted-out precipitate dissolved with 2M hydrochloric acid semicarbazide and 0.2M agmatine sulfate and the heated precipitate were combined and used as part of the water-soluble component. The water-insoluble component of the lysate dissolved in the 2M hydrochloric acid semicarbazide aqueous solution was mixed with the cancer-associated antigen polypeptide 10102 (DTLLKALLEIASCLEKALQVF) and the cancer-associated antigen polypeptide 10103 (FMTYWHLLNAFTVTVPKDL) at a mass ratio of 1:1:1. The component obtained by salting out and heating precipitation from the water-soluble component dissolved in the 2M hydrochloric acid semicarbazide and 0.2M agmatine sulfate was mixed with the cancer-associated antigen polypeptide 10102 (DTLLKALLEIASCLEKALQVF) and the cancer-associated antigen polypeptide 10103 (FMTYWHLLNAFTVTVPKDL) at a mass ratio of 1:1:1. The two mixtures together constituted the antigen component 1 for preparing the cancer nanovaccine 1.

After lysis, the lysate was centrifuged at 5000g for 5 minutes and the supernatant was taken as the water-soluble component soluble in pure water; 2M hydrochloric acid semicarbazide and 0.2M agmatine sulfate aqueous solution were added to the resulting precipitate to dissolve the precipitate, and the insoluble component in pure water was converted into a component soluble in 2M hydrochloric acid semicarbazide and 0.2M agmatine sulfate aqueous solution. Saturated ammonium sulfate aqueous solution was added dropwise to the water-soluble component in the lysate. After complete precipitation, the resulting sample was centrifuged at 3000g for 5 minutes, and the precipitate was dissolved in 2M hydrochloric acid semicarbazide and 0.2M agmatine sulfate aqueous solution and used as part of the water-soluble component. The water-insoluble component of the lysate dissolved in the 2M hydrochloric acid semicarbazide and 0.2M agmatine sulfate aqueous solution and 2M hydrochloric acid semicarbazide were mixed with the cancer-associated antigen polypeptide 10102 (DTLLKALLEIASCLEKALQVF) and the cancer-associated antigen polypeptide 10103 (FMTYWHLLNAFTVTVPKDL) at a mass ratio of 1:1:1. The component obtained by salting out and precipitating from the water-soluble component dissolved in the 0.2M agmatine sulfate was mixed with the cancer-associated antigen polypeptide 10102 (DTLLKALLEIASCLEKALQVF) and the cancer-associated antigen polypeptide 10103 (FMTYWHLLNAFTVTVPKDL) at a mass ratio of 1:1:1. The two mixtures were used to prepare the antigen component 2 of the cancer nanovaccine 2.
[0404] Each C57BL / 6 mouse was subcutaneously inoculated with 1.5 × 10 5 B16F10 cells, when the tumor grows to a volume of approximately 1000 mm 3Mice were sacrificed and tumor tissue was removed. Tumor tissue was minced and ground, then passed through a cell strainer, added to an appropriate amount of ultrapure water, and repeatedly frozen and thawed five times, accompanied by sonication to disrupt and lyse cells. After lysis, the lysate was centrifuged at 5000g for 5 minutes, and the supernatant was collected, representing the water-soluble fraction. The resulting precipitate was dissolved in a 2M semicarbazide hydrochloride and 0.2M agmatine sulfate aqueous solution, converting the water-insoluble fraction into a fraction soluble in the 2M semicarbazide hydrochloride and 0.2M agmatine sulfate aqueous solution. The water-soluble fraction in the lysate was heated at 100°C for 5 minutes, and the resulting sample was centrifuged at 3000g for 5 minutes. The supernatant was discarded, and the precipitate was dissolved in a 2M semicarbazide hydrochloride and 0.2M agmatine sulfate aqueous solution, representing a portion of the water-soluble fraction.

[0407] In this example, Nanovaccine 2 was prepared using the double emulsion method, a solvent evaporation method. During preparation, some of the water-soluble components in the tumor tissue lysate were purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation and then dissolved in a lysing solution. Nanoparticles loaded with the water-soluble components of the cancer cell lysate (the components dissolved in a lysing solution after separation and purification by ammonium sulfate precipitation, plus synthetic antigen polypeptides) and nanoparticles loaded with the water-insoluble antigens of whole cancer cell antigens (the components dissolved in a lysing solution plus synthetic antigen polypeptides) were prepared separately and then used together as Nanovaccine 2.

On days 3, 6, 9, 14, and 20 after tumor inoculation, mice were subcutaneously injected with 2 mg of nanovaccine 1 (1 mg of nanoparticles loaded with the purified component of the water-soluble component + 1 mg of nanoparticles loaded with the water-insoluble component), 2 mg of nanovaccine 2 (1 mg of nanoparticles loaded with the purified component of the water-soluble component + 1 mg of nanoparticles loaded with the water-insoluble component), or 2 mg of nanovaccine 3 (1 mg of nanoparticles loaded with the purified component of the water-soluble component + 1 mg of nanoparticles loaded with the water-insoluble component), or 100 μL of PBS. Tumor growth and survival of mice were monitored as described above.
[0411] (4) Experimental results
[0412] like Figure 15As shown, tumors in mice in the PBS group grew rapidly and soon died. Mice treated with Nanovaccine 1, Nanovaccine 2, and Nanovaccine 3 all experienced significantly slower tumor growth and prolonged survival, with some mice recovering tumor-free. Nanovaccine 1 was more effective than Nanovaccine 2 and Nanovaccine 3, indicating that the combined use of salting-out and heating for separation and purification is significantly more effective than either salting-out or heating alone.

[0414] In this example, ultrapure water was first used to lyse B16F10 melanoma cancer cells to prepare protein and polypeptide components and water-insoluble components in the water-soluble components of the cancer cells.
