Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tumor drug technology, and more specifically, to a dual-ion-based nanoparticle for treating p53-mutant tumors, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Malignant tumors, as one of the most difficult-to-cure diseases, seriously threaten human life and health. p53 is the tumor suppressor gene most strongly associated with human tumorigenesis discovered to date, because the protein encoded by this gene is a transcription factor that controls the initiation of the cell cycle. The p53 gene is mutated in more than 50% of human cancers, and in some intractable malignant tumors, the mutation rate is as high as 80%. Mutated p53 genes not only lose their tumor suppressor function but also develop new functions that promote cancer development and progression, such as promoting tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis; blocking innate immune signaling pathways to promote tumor immune escape; and causing chemotherapy resistance and poor prognosis. Therefore, the highly prevalent and complex p53 mutations in tumors pose a significant challenge to the effective treatment of cancer.

[0003] Current treatment strategies for p53-mutant tumors include chemotherapy to directly induce the degradation of the mutant p53 protein or help it restore the function of the wild-type. However, due to the easy uptake of these drugs by normal tissues, leading to unavoidable toxic side effects and the high incidence of multidrug resistance, their clinical application for treating mutant p53 tumors remains difficult. Gene therapy strategies aim to correct or compensate for the mutated p53 gene; however, the risks of nuclear localization and insertional mutations in DNA, as well as the immunogenicity and instability of RNA, remain unresolved issues. Existing immunotherapy methods for p53-mutant tumors generally suffer from unsatisfactory treatment effects, limited applicability to multiple p53 mutants, and poor targeted delivery of antibodies and immune factors.

[0045] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned dual-ion-based nanoparticles for treating p53-mutant tumors, which includes the following steps:

[0046] (1) Preparation of LIZn nanoparticles.

[0047] DPPC and cholesterol were dissolved in an organic solvent to form a reaction solution, which was then evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain a liposome film (at this stage, it is only a bilayer film). The mass-to-volume ratio of DPPC, cholesterol, and organic solvent was 5-10 mg: 1-5 mg: 10 ml. A Zn-containing... 2+ Liposome membranes were hydrated with a salt solution under eddy current and ultrasonic conditions. After centrifugation at 10,000-20,000 rpm for 20-40 min, the precipitate was separated and collected. The hydrated liposome membranes formed spherical liposomes, thus preparing LIZn nanoparticles. 2+ Zn in salt solution 2+ The concentration is 8-12 mg / mL, containing Zn 2+ The volume-to-mass ratio of the salt solution compound to DPPC is 2 ml: 5-10 mg.

[0052] (4) Preparation of LIZn@MCo nanoparticles.

[0053] LIZn nanoparticles and MCo composites were mixed at a volume ratio of 1:1-1.5 under eddy current and ultrasonic conditions. The mixture was then filtered 8-12 times through 0.7-0.9 μM, 0.4-0.5 μM, and 0.1-0.2 μM filter membranes. The mixture was centrifuged at 10,000-20,000 rpm for 20-40 min to separate and collect the precipitate, thus obtaining LIZn@MCo nanoparticles.

The outer layer of the tumor cell membrane is coated on the outside of the complex, forming the dual-ion nanoparticles (LIZn@MCo@M nanoparticles) of this application. The LIZn@MCo@M nanoparticles can be widely used in the preparation of drugs for the treatment or improvement of tumors with high expression of mutant p53 protein.

[0057] The mechanism of action of LIZn@MCo@M nanoparticles in this application is as follows:

[0058] After injection of LIZn@MCo@M nanoparticles, the outermost tumor cell membrane can target the tumor site, internalize into the cell, and release Zn in the acidic tumor cell environment. 2+ and Co 2+ Zn 2+ and Co 2+ It promotes the production of ROS in cells, ubiquitinates and degrades mutant p53 protein, thereby relieving the inhibition of the cGAS-STING signaling pathway by mutant p53. Furthermore, Zn... 2+ and Co 2+ It can synergistically promote the cGAS-STING signaling pathway, activate the body's own innate immunity, and ultimately achieve an anti-tumor effect.

[0059] The features and performance of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments.

[0060] Example 1

[0061] This embodiment provides a dual-ion-based nanoparticle for treating p53-mutant tumors, the preparation method of which includes the following steps:

[0062] (1) Preparation of LIZn nanoparticles.

[0063] 7 mg DPPC and 3 mg cholesterol were dissolved in 10 mL chloroform to form a reaction solution, which was then evaporated to dryness at 56 °C, yielding a liposome film on the flask wall. Zinc chloride solution (2.726 mg dissolved in 2 mL deionized water) was added to fully hydrate the liposome film. After hydration, the solution was mixed under vortex and sonication conditions until a clear liquid was obtained. The mixture was centrifuged at 15000 rpm for 20 min, the precipitate was collected, and then reconstituted in 2 mL of water by sonication to obtain LIZn nanoparticles.

[0064] (2) Preparation of tumor cell membranes.

[0065] Two 50ml culture flasks of pancreatic cancer cells (KPC cells) were centrifuged for 5 minutes, washed three times in PBS at pH 7.4, and 1mL of sterile water was added to rupture the cells. The cells were then sonicated until the centrifuge tube wall was slightly heated using a cell disruptor, centrifuged at 7000rpm for 5 minutes, and the supernatant was collected to obtain the tumor cell membrane.

[0066] (3) Preparation of MCo complex.

[0067] 500 μL of cobalt chloride solution (10 mg / mL) was added dropwise to 1 mL of tumor cell membrane solution, followed by repeated vortexing and sonication. The mixture was then centrifuged at 15,000 rpm for 30 min, the precipitate was collected, and dispersed in 1 mL of water to obtain the MCo complex.

[0068] (4) Preparation of LIZn@MCo nanoparticles.

[0069] LIZn nanoparticles were added dropwise to the MCo composite (volume ratio 1:1), mixed under eddy current and ultrasonic conditions, filtered 10 times sequentially through 0.8 μM, 0.45 μM and 0.2 μM filter membranes, centrifuged at 15000 rpm for 30 min, collected the precipitate, and washed repeatedly to obtain LIZn@MCo nanoparticles.

[0070] (5) Preparation of LIZn@MCo@M nanoparticles.

[0071] 2 mL of LIZn@MCo nanoparticles were mixed with 1 mL of tumor cell membrane under eddy current and sonication conditions. The mixture was then filtered five times through 0.8 μM, 0.45 μM, and 0.2 μM filters. After centrifugation at 15000 rpm for 30 min, the precipitate was collected and washed three times to obtain LIZn@MCo@M nanoparticles with an average particle size of 149 nm.

[0072] The structure of the obtained LIZn@MCo@M nanoparticles is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, liposomes have a bilayer, Zn 2+ Encased within the liposome, the inner layer is the tumor cell membrane and Co 2+ The complex is formed and coated on the outer layer of the liposome, with the outer tumor cell membrane covering the outside of the complex.

[0073] The obtained LIZn@MCo@M nanoparticles were examined by transmission electron microscopy and their particle size was analyzed. Figure 2 As can be seen, the bilayer cell membrane was successfully coated onto the outer layer of the lipid body, and the LIZn@MCo@M nanoparticles were successfully prepared. Figure 3 It can be seen that the particle size distribution of LIZn@MCo@M nanoparticles is uniform and relatively concentrated.

[0074] Furthermore, by performing potential analysis on multiple intermediates formed during the preparation of LIZn@MCo@M nanoparticles in Example 1, from... Figure 4 It can be seen that the tumor cell membrane (CM) alone is significantly negatively charged, while the liposomes (LIVN) are slightly charged with no obvious potential, and are coated with Zn. 2+ Liposomes (LIZn) contain positively charged Zn. 2+ Since LIZn is encapsulated within liposomes, it retains a slight charge, with a potential not significantly different from LIVN. However, coating LIZn with tumor cell membranes (LIZn@M) reveals that LIZn@M is distinctly negatively charged. Conversely, coating LIZn with Co... 2+ The complex (LIZn@MCo) that binds to the tumor cell membrane contains positively charged Co. 2+ When combined with the negatively charged tumor cell membrane, the potential decreases significantly. Then, by coating the surface of LIZn@MCo with a layer of tumor cell membrane, the potential increases significantly, exhibiting a clearly negatively charged potential. Potential analysis fully demonstrates that Example 1 effectively synthesized LIZn@MCo@M nanoparticles.

The mixture was centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 30 min, the precipitate was collected, and then reconstituted in 2 mL of water by sonication to obtain LIZn nanoparticles.

All cells (8,000 cells / well) were seeded in 96-well plates and incubated for 24 hours (37°C, 5% CO2). KPC cells were incubated with LIZn@MCo@M at different ion concentrations (0, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20 μg / mL) for 24 hours. After removing the LIZn@MCo@M-containing medium, 100 μL of complete medium containing 10 μL of MTT was added to each well, and the cells were incubated for 4 hours.

Figure 8 As can be seen from Figure b, the tumor weight in KPC model mice treated with LIZn@MCo@M nanoparticles was also significantly lower than that in other treatment groups. Figure 8 As can be seen from the results, the changes in the tumor were more significant, with the treatment effect being nearly 8 times better than that of the blank control group.
