Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of biotechnology, and particularly relates to a polyvinyl alcohol microsphere with a core-shell structure and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Blood purification therapy refers to reducing the concentration of harmful substances in blood through extracorporeal removal, so as to achieve the purpose of treating or slowing down certain diseases. The core of blood purification therapy is an adsorbent material, and obtaining an adsorbent material with good blood compatibility, high mechanical strength and good adsorption performance is the key to the development of blood purification technology.

[0003] Currently, there are three types of commonly used adsorbents. Activated carbon has high porosity and specific surface area, and is a commonly used broad-spectrum adsorbent. However, its mechanical strength is not high, and it needs to be coated to improve the biocompatibility, so its application is limited. Polysaccharide adsorbent has good biocompatibility and no cytotoxicity, and the surface has a large number of active groups for chemical modification. However, it is expensive and has low mechanical strength, and it is easy to be damaged under high flow rate or long-term use. Synthetic resin has high adsorption capacity and specific surface area, and has high mechanical strength. However, it has poor blood compatibility, and needs to be modified to be hydrophilic in advance.

[0004] Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is an artificially synthesized water-soluble polymer, which has good formability, non-toxicity and biocompatibility. At the same time, PVA material contains a large number of hydroxyl groups, which can couple different ligands to achieve specific adsorption, so it can be selected as a blood purification adsorbent. However, compared with synthetic resin adsorbent, it still has poor mechanical properties, and cannot be applied to whole blood perfusion or antibody chromatography purification under high flow rate and high pressure. Therefore, it is very important to develop a polyvinyl alcohol microsphere carrier with high mechanical strength, high adsorption performance and high selectivity. SUMMARY

[0099] Performance test:

[0100] 1. Microsphere morphology test

[0101] The microspheres are soaked in water for 24 hours, and a certain amount of microspheres are placed on a glass slide, and the morphology of the microspheres is observed under a microscope, and the appropriate magnification is selected, and the particle size of the microspheres is counted to obtain the average particle size of the microspheres. The pore size of the microspheres is tested by a pore size tester. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0102] Table 1, test results of microspheres and pore sizes of different examples

[0103] Sample No. Particle size range (um) Pore size range (nm) Example 1 30-100 500-2000 Example 2 50-150 1000-2500 Example 3 50-200 100-1000 Comparative Example 1 30-150 800-1500 Agarose microspheres 45-160 20-35 Polystyrene synthetic resin microspheres 180-300 2-30

[0104] The microstructure test results of the microspheres show that the polyvinyl alcohol resin microspheres of Examples 1-3 have an average particle size in the range of 30-200 um, which can meet the use requirements in the field of blood purification compared with the commercially available agarose microspheres and polystyrene synthetic resin microspheres. The pore size of the polyvinyl alcohol resin microspheres reaches microns, which is significantly larger than the existing agarose microspheres and polystyrene synthetic resin microspheres, thereby being more conducive to the coupling of ligands of subsequent adsorbents and the improvement of adsorption performance.

[0105] The pore size is affected by multiple factors:

[0106] (1) Compared with agarose resin, the pore size of polyvinyl alcohol microspheres is more easily controlled in a stable range by process conditions.

[0107] (2) The cellulose-polyvinyl alcohol microspheres of the present application first form a core-shell structure, and are directly crosslinked without separation. In addition to the crosslinking and solidification of the hydroxyl groups inside the microspheres, the initially formed microspheres with smaller diameters also undergo different degrees of crosslinking between them, thereby resulting in the formation of microspheres with larger particle size and pore size.

[0108] (3) The microsphere suspension liquid formed by the scheme of the present application is rapidly reduced to a lower temperature for cooling and separation. The micron-level pore size formed during the emulsification and crosslinking process is more easily fixed and thus better retained.

[0109] 2. Mechanical property test of microspheres

[0110] The empty column tube is taken, and the two ends are blocked with a 300-mesh nylon screen. The liquid inlet is connected to a peristaltic pump. 2.5 ml of the above resin microspheres are filled into the column, and the microspheres are allowed to stand until the volume is constant. The height of the microspheres in the tube is measured and recorded as h0;

[0111] Plug the upper end with the lid, adjust the peristaltic pump flow rate to increase slowly to 20 ml / min constant flow rate to flush the adsorption column, when the microsphere volume is constant, record the microsphere height, repeat three times to take the average value, record as h1;

[0112] Calculate the volume ratio L = h1 / h0 before and after compression.

[0113] The test results are shown in Table 2.

[0114] Table 2, mechanical property test results of microspheres of different examples

[0115] Sample No. Compressed volume ratio L Example 1 5.2 Example 2 3.6 Example 3 6.8 Comparative Example 1 12.5 Agarose microspheres Sepharose 6FF 16.3 Polystyrene synthetic resin microspheres 2.5

[0116] As can be seen from Table 2, the mechanical strength of the polyvinyl alcohol microspheres reinforced by cellulose nanomicrospheres (Examples 1-3) is significantly improved, and the compression volume ratio under high flow rate is close to that of polystyrene synthetic resin microspheres, and is significantly higher than that of agarose resin microspheres. The compression resistance of the microspheres without cellulose nanomicrospheres reinforcement is improved compared with that of agarose microspheres, but is still lower than that of the reinforced microspheres.

[0117] 3. Hemolysis rate test:

[0118] 2 g of samples of Examples 1-3 and agarose microspheres were respectively weighed in test tubes, and 10 mL of physiological saline was injected as a test sample. The test sample tube, negative tube (only 10 mL of physiological saline was injected), and positive tube (only 10 mL of distilled water was injected) were placed in a 37℃ water bath for 30 min. 0.2 mL of diluted anticoagulant rabbit blood was added to the test sample tube, negative tube, and positive tube, and mixed gently. Continue to incubate in a 37℃ constant temperature water bath for 60 min. After the water bath is finished, pour out the liquid in the tube, centrifuge at 800 g for 5 min, and take the supernatant to the ultraviolet spectrophotometer, measure the absorbance value at 545 nm, and calculate the hemolysis rate (hemolysis rate should be ≤5%), the hemolysis rate calculation formula is as follows:

[0119]

[0120] In the formula: A is the absorbance of the test sample liquid; B is the absorbance of the negative control liquid; and C is the absorbance of the positive control liquid.

[0121] The test results are shown in Table 3.

[0122] Table 3, hemolysis rate test results of microspheres of different examples

[0123] Sample Name Sample 1 Sample 2 Sample 3 Average Hemolysis rate (%) Positive control 0.718 0.732 0.720 0.7233 / Negative control 0.015 0.020 0.025 0.0183 / Example 1 0.023 0.025 0.028 0.0253 0.99 Example 2 0.019 0.025 0.023 0.0223 0.56 Example 3 0.029 0.027 0.025 0.027 1.23 Comparative Example 1 0.019 0.023 0.019 0.020 0.24 Agarose microspheres 0.023 0.019 0.021 0.021 0.38

[0124] As can be seen from Table 3, the hemolysis rate of the polyvinyl alcohol microspheres synthesized by the method of the present application meets the standard requirement of ≤5%, and has good biocompatibility.

[0125] Preparation of microsphere adsorbent

[0126] The microspheres prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1, and the agarose microspheres were used to prepare the microsphere adsorbent by the method of Example 1 and Example 2 in CN110026166B.

[0127] S1) After rinsing with about 10 times the volume of water for injection, 100 mL of 1M NaOH solution, 30 mL of epoxy bromopropane and 70 mL of 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether and 0.2 g of sodium borohydride were added, stirred, and reacted at 30°C for 1.5 h. After the reaction was completed, a large amount of water for injection was used to rinse clean, and epoxy-activated resin microspheres were obtained;

[0128] S2) In a 500 mL reaction vessel, 100 mL of the above-mentioned activated resin microspheres and 150 mL of 0.1 mol / L borate buffer were added, the pH of the system was controlled at 7.5 to 8.5, 14 g of genetically engineered recombinant protein A was added, and the system was reacted at 37°C for 20 h. The reaction was stopped, the packing was rinsed with about 10 times the volume of water for injection, and after rinsing, 200 mL of 0.2M ethanolamine solution was added to block the unreacted epoxy groups, and the reaction was carried out at 20°C for 10 h. After the reaction was completed, a large amount of water for injection was used to rinse, and finally it was stored in a solution containing a preservative;

[0129] S3) 0.5 mL of the above-mentioned prepared adsorbent microspheres were taken in a 10 mL EP tube, 5 mL of human plasma was added, and the mixture was slowly shaken for 1 h at room temperature. After the reaction was completed, the reaction solution was poured into a disposable affinity chromatography column, rinsed with about 100 mL of equilibration buffer (PBS), then eluted with 40 mL of elution buffer (citric acid 2.1 g / L, NaCl 8.0 g / L), and the elution peak was collected and detected by ultraviolet detection of OD280.

[0130] The adsorption capacity (mg / mL) = [(OD280 / 1.38) x 40] / 0.5, and the adsorption capacity was determined as shown in Table 4.

[0131] Table 4, adsorption capacity test results of microsphere adsorbents of different examples

[0132] Sample No. Adsorption performance to IgG (mg / mL) Example 1 60 Example 2 58 Example 3 61 Comparative Example 1 56 Agarose microspheres 52

[0133] As can be seen from the results in Table 4, compared with the adsorbent prepared from agarose microspheres, the adsorbent prepared from nanocellulose-reinforced polyvinyl alcohol microspheres has a higher adsorption capacity for IgG. Both the internal cellulose and the external polyvinyl alcohol contain abundant hydroxyl groups, and the large pore size structure is conducive to the entry and coupling of protein A ligands, and increases the contact area and contact time of IgG with the adsorbent during the adsorption process, thereby further enhancing the adsorption capacity.

[0134] The above is a further detailed description of the present application, which cannot be considered as a limitation of the specific implementation of the present application. For those skilled in the art to which the present application belongs, simple deductions or replacements without departing from the concept of the present application are within the protection scope of the present application.
