Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of immunology and biomedicine technology, and in particular to a method for preparing nanoparticles of nanogold@polydopamine iron-coated bacterial outer membrane vesicles. Background Art

[0002] Tumor immunotherapy is a treatment method that controls and eliminates tumors by restarting and maintaining the tumor-immune cycle and restoring the body's normal anti-tumor immune response. It has broad application prospects, but the tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment has become a key issue that hinders the effectiveness of tumor immunotherapy. Using nanoparticles to deliver immune drugs to tumor sites is a classic method to improve the tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment, but immunotherapy systems developed based on synthetic particles still face a series of challenges, such as complex preparation processes, low drug loading rates, and poor batch-to-batch reproducibility. In recent years, through continuous research, people have discovered that simple bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) naturally secreted by bacteria have certain potential in modulating the tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment. Bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are vesicle-like nanoparticles secreted by the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. The vesicles contain PAMP molecules (such as lipopolysaccharides and outer membrane proteins) of the Gram-negative bacteria's outer membrane and can effectively activate immune cells through Toll-like receptors (TLRs) of immune cells. Furthermore, OMVs, with diameters ranging from 20 to 200 nm, are the ideal size for nanomedicines, enabling effective accumulation at the tumor site through the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect of solid tumors. However, direct intravenous injection of OMVs has strong toxic side effects, such as causing systemic cytokine storms and scurvy, which greatly limits their application.

[0003] Dopamine is the most abundant catecholamine neurotransmitter in the human brain. Studies have shown that it can adsorb onto any surface in a slightly alkaline environment (pH 7.5-8.0) and regulate various physiological functions of the central nervous system. It is widely used clinically to treat conditions such as myocardial infarction, renal failure, and endotoxin sepsis. Furthermore, its excellent biocompatibility allows it to be used as a coating or surface modifier for certain materials and drugs in the treatment of tumors and cardiovascular diseases.

[0004] Nanozymes are synthetic enzymes that mimic the activity of natural enzymes. They are prepared by modifying some highly active precious metals (such as Au and Pt), and their catalytic activity is inversely proportional to their particle size. Furthermore, compared to the protein components of natural enzymes, the reaction between nanozymes and substrates is less constrained by the environment. In recent years, gold nanoparticles have demonstrated excellent enzyme-mimicking activity, similar to peroxidases, oxidases, catalases, superoxide dismutases, or reductases. Moreover, compared to biological enzymes, gold nanozymes have advantages such as ease of synthesis, good tunability, good biocompatibility, and low cost. They are of great significance for competing for nutrients (glucose) in the tumor microenvironment, regulating tumor sugar metabolism, producing hydrogen peroxide, changing the redox environment of tumor tissue, and treating tumors. However, the delivery of nanozymes limits their biomedical applications. If bacterial outer membrane vesicles and nanozymes can be used to design nanoparticles that can also efficiently activate immune cells in the tumor microenvironment, it will be beneficial to the application of nanomedicines in medicine. Summary of the Invention

[0033] The preparation method specifically comprises the following steps:

[0034] 1. Extraction of bacterial outer membrane vesicles: Prepare LB liquid medium, sterilize the medium at 121 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes, then take out the BL21 strain from the -80 refrigerator, quickly dissolve it in 37 degrees Celsius water, and then inoculate it completely into the sterilized medium. After culturing for 12 hours, inoculate the activated strain into the newly prepared LB medium (1% inoculum volume) again. After culturing for 12 hours, take 50 mL and culture it to the logarithmic phase (OD 600 =0.5) were inoculated into 2L of freshly prepared LB medium and cultured at 200 rpm at 37 degrees Celsius for 2 hours. IPTG inducer (final concentration 20 μg / mL) was then added to induce the bacteria to produce bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). After further shaking for 4 hours, the bacterial liquid was collected and centrifuged at 8000 rpm to collect the supernatant. The supernatant was then filtered through a 0.45 μm filter, concentrated to remove bacterial debris, and then ultracentrifuged at 140,000 g for 3 hours. The light brown substance at the bottom of the centrifuge tube was OMVs. 2 mL of PBS was added to the centrifuge tube and washed three times. Then, 200 μL of PBS was added to the centrifuge tube and the OMVs were resuspended to obtain an OMV solution (protein concentration was 40 mg / mL as measured by BCA assay). The prepared OMV solution was used in subsequent experiments.

[0035] The bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMV) extracted in step 1 were subjected to characterization tests. The specific operations included:

Similarly, the surface of OMV-DFA was coated with dopamine iron and distributed with gold nanoparticles.

[0056] Experimental Example 1 Performance Verification of Nanoparticles of Nanogold@Polydopamine Iron Coated Bacterial Outer Membrane Vesicles

[0057] Taking the nanoparticles of gold@polydopamine iron coated bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMV-DFA) prepared in Example 1 as an example, the following performance verification was performed:

[0058] (1) Characterization of the nanozyme performance of OMV-DFA nanoparticles: 20 μL of OMV-DFA was added to 2 mL of freshly prepared glucose solution (10 mmol / mL). The glucose and gluconic acid in the supernatant of the solution were detected at different time points (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 15, 30, and 60 min) using a glucose detection kit. Figure 3 As shown, the glucose in the solution is gradually consumed over time, and gluconic acid is gradually produced.

[0059] (2) Characterize the iron ion release level of OMV-DFA nanoparticles: Take 0.5 mL of OMV-DFA and add it into 5 mL of PBS buffer with pH 6.5. Take the supernatant after 24 and 48 hours respectively, and then measure the iron ion content in the solution by o-phenanthroline method (the maximum absorption wavelength of o-phenanthroline and divalent iron complex is 510 nm). Figure 4 As shown, OMV-DFA nanoparticles can release iron ions in a buffer solution with a pH of 6.5.

[0060] (3) Determination of oxygen free radical content: 20 μL of OMV-DFA nanoparticles were resuspended in 2 mL of 400 μmol / mL H2O2 buffer at pH 6.5, and then 50 μL of 24 mmol / L 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) was added to produce a color reaction. The oxygen free radical content at 652 nm was measured using a multifunctional microplate reader at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 15, and 30 min of reaction, as shown in Figure 2. Figure 5 As shown, OMV-DFA nanoparticles can catalyze H2O2 to produce hydroxyl radicals in a buffer solution with a pH of 6.5.

[0061] (4) The prepared OMV-DFA can kill tumor cells: the mouse triple-negative breast cancer (4T1) cell line was cultured in a constant temperature incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2. When the cells grew to 80% of the culture dish, the cells were seeded in a 96-well plate and cultured with complete cell culture medium for 24 hours. The culture medium was replaced (replaced with pH 7.4 and 6.5 culture medium respectively, wherein the slightly acidic complete culture medium of pH 6.5 was prepared in advance with concentrated hydrochloric acid). Then the drug was added, and the dosage was 0, 10, 20, 40, 80, 120, 160, 200 μg / mL, respectively. After the cells were cultured for another 24 hours, the supernatant was discarded, and the cells were washed three times with PBS. The activity was tested with a CCK-8 cell activity detection kit (incubated in a constant temperature incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 2 hours in the dark). The absorbance at 450 nm was measured with an enzyme marker. The results are as follows: Figure 6 As shown (right), the killing effect of OMV-DFA nanoparticles on tumor cells can reach up to 70% under the condition of pH 6.5; while the cytotoxicity under normal pH conditions is negligible ( Figure 6 Left).

[0062] In addition, the OMV-DFA of Examples 2 and 3 has the same or similar properties as Example 1, namely, it can produce gluconic acid, release iron ions, catalyze H2O2 to produce hydroxyl radicals, and has a killing effect on tumor cells.

[0063] Based on the above performance tests, it can be seen that the OMV-DFA nanoparticles prepared by the method of the present invention can kill tumors through the combined immune-starvation-chemodynamics, and have important potential application value.

[0064] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above, but the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments. It is apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations of these embodiments may be made without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the changes still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
