Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biomedicine technology, and in particular to a method for preparing composite drug-loaded microgel spheres capable of controlling drug release and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] The uterus is an important organ in the female reproductive system, playing a key role in nurturing the embryo and supporting the growth and development of the fetus. Endometrial damage refers to a disease caused by damage to the basal layer of the endometrium and endometrial repair disorders caused by various pathogenic factors. It can often lead to intrauterine adhesions, thin endometrium, and pelvic inflammatory disease. The clinical manifestations are symptoms such as menstrual disorders, lower abdominal pain, infertility, and recurrent miscarriage, which seriously affect women's physical and mental health. Uterine cavity operation, intrauterine infection, genetic factors, endometrial diseases, etc. are closely related to the occurrence of endometrial damage. Current methods for treating endometrial damage include drug therapy and surgical treatment. Drug treatment usually includes hormone therapy, such as oral contraceptives or other hormonal drugs, to regulate the menstrual cycle and relieve symptoms. Surgical treatment includes curettage and curettage, endometrial ablation, etc., which are used to remove abnormal endometrial tissue.

[0003] However, these treatments also have certain limitations and cannot meet the needs of clinical treatment. On the one hand, although drug therapy, such as large amounts of estrogen stimulation, can promote the regeneration and re-epithelialization of the endometrium, there are still certain problems, such as the lack of standard doses or regimens. On the other hand, drug therapy may cause side effects, such as hormone drugs may cause hormonal imbalance or other adverse reactions. Surgical treatment may be accompanied by surgical risks, and may not be effective for some endometrial injuries with more complex causes, and is ineffective for patients with severe intrauterine adhesions. Therefore, existing strategies are difficult to effectively repair the endometrium, and there is an urgent need to develop a treatment method to repair endometrial damage, avoid intrauterine adhesions and infections, and thus improve pregnancy outcomes. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the technical problem that the existing treatment methods are difficult to effectively repair the endometrium and there is an urgent need to develop a treatment method to repair endometrial damage. The present invention provides a composite drug-loaded microgel ball with controlled drug release. The composite drug-loaded microgel ball in the present invention contains a scaffold Gelma seaweed ball, a therapeutic drug verbascoside, a piezoelectric bactericidal preparation AuBTO, and an anti-inflammatory preparation PDA. Among them, verbascoside is the phenylethanol glycoside monomer compound with the highest content among the active ingredients of the genus Cistanche of the Orobanchaceae family. The 2020 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia contains verbascoside as an indicator component for controlling the quality of Cistanche medicinal materials. In recent years, studies have found that Cistanche, known as the "desert ginseng", has the effect of plant hormones and can regulate the balance of estrogen in women. And clinical trials have shown that the famous old Chinese medicine prescription with Cistanche as the main medicine can rebuild the balance of the reproductive endocrine environment and improve the reproductive function indicators of rats. In this study, verbascoside can effectively improve endometrial damage and promote endometrial regeneration. AuBTO is a strong dielectric compound material with high dielectric constant and low dielectric loss. By encapsulating drugs inside barium titanate nanoparticles or modifying their surface, targeted release and delivery can be achieved to improve the effect and selectivity of drugs or genes. In addition, metal nanoparticles can associate with the surface of bacteria, dissolve substances by releasing toxic ions that damage enzyme function or DNA, or produce ROS that cause oxidative stress, thus exerting antibacterial activity. PDA is also considered to be an effective ROS scavenger in a variety of inflammatory diseases, which can effectively remove reactive oxygen species and normalize the antioxidant status.

[0078] The following is an explanation of the above content in combination with specific verification experiments:

[0079] Example 1: Evaluation of the controlled drug release performance of composite drug-loaded microgel spheres:

[0080] Experimental methods:

[0081] 200 mg of drug-loaded microspheres were accurately weighed and placed in 1 mL of PBS. One group was subjected to ultrasound with a 30 MHz ultrasound probe, and the other group was left to stand normally. 100 μL of supernatant was regularly drawn at four time points: 0, 5, 10, and 15 min. The drug concentration was determined by UV spectrophotometer, and the in vitro drug release curve was drawn. According to the literature, 332 nm was selected as the detection wavelength of verbascoside.

[0082] Experimental results:

[0083] See also Figure 2 , under the assistance of ultrasound, the composite drug-loaded microgel spheres have good controlled drug release performance.

[0084] Example 2: Verification of biocompatibility and anti-inflammatory effect of composite drug-loaded microgel spheres:

[0085] Experimental methods:

[0086] 1. Detect cell viability using CCK8 method

[0087] Soak 100 mg of seaweed balls with different compositions of Gelma, Gelma@Acteoside, Gelma@Acteoside@AuBTO, and Gelma@Acteoside@AuBTO@PDA in 10 mL of complete culture medium, place in a cell culture incubator at 37°C for 24 hours, take the supernatant, and filter it with a 0.2 μm filter to obtain culture medium with different compositions.

[0088] The cells were plated at 1.0 × 10 9 The cells were inoculated in a 96-well plate at a density of 1.50 μg / mL. After incubation overnight, the cells were co-cultured with culture media of different compositions for 24 hours, and then 10 μL of CCK-8 was added to each well and incubated at 37°C for half an hour. Finally, the absorbance at 450 nm was measured to calculate the cell activity.

[0089] 2. Detect cell death and viability using immunofluorescence

[0090] The cells were co-cultured with the above culture medium for 24 hours, the culture medium was discarded, and the cells were washed once with PBS. An appropriate volume of CalceinAM / PI detection working solution was added and incubated at 37°C in the dark for 30 minutes. After the incubation, the staining effect was observed under a fluorescence microscope (CalceinAM of live cells is green fluorescence; PI of dead cells is red fluorescence).

[0091] 3. Reactive oxygen detection kit quantitatively detects intracellular reactive oxygen levels under different treatments

[0092] Prepare cell suspension and count cells; according to the appropriate number of cells to be plated (about 1×10 4 ), inoculate the cell suspension (1mL / well) in a six-well plate, and place the culture plate in an incubator for 4 hours; LPS stimulation was performed on the positive control wells, and the culture medium with different components was added to the intervention wells, and the culture plate was incubated in an incubator for 24 hours; DCFH-DA was diluted with serum-free culture medium at 1:1000 to a final concentration of 10 micromol / L; the cell culture medium was removed, and 1mL of the diluted DCFH-DA was added to each well to fully cover the cells. Incubate in a 37℃ cell culture incubator for 20 minutes; wash the cells three times with serum-free cell culture medium to fully remove the DCFH-DA that did not enter the cells. Take pictures under a fluorescence microscope.

[0093] 4. ELISA detection of intracellular inflammatory factor levels stimulated by LPS under different culture medium treatments

[0094] The cells were plated at 1.0 × 10 9 The cells were inoculated in a 96-well plate at a density of 1.50 μg / mL. After one night of incubation, the cells were co-cultured with culture media with different components for 24 hours, the supernatant was aspirated, and the levels of inflammatory factors (TNF-a, IL-1β) in the cell supernatant were detected by ELISA kit.

[0095] Experimental results:

[0096] See also Figure 2 A, C, the composite drug-loaded microgel spheres have good biocompatibility and can maintain high cell activity when co-cultured with cells;

[0097] like Figure 2 As shown in B, the composite drug-loaded microgel spheres have good reactive oxygen scavenging ability;

[0098] In addition, please refer to Figures D and E. The composite drug-loaded microgel spheres have a good effect in clearing inflammation, and the levels of inflammatory factors in the supernatant of the intervened cells are reduced.

[0099] Example 3: Verification of the bactericidal effect of composite drug-loaded microgel spheres:

[0100] Experimental methods:

[0101] 1. Plate count method

[0102] The bactericidal effect of AuBTO was evaluated by plate coating experiment, using Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus as typical models of Gram-negative bacteria and Gram-positive bacteria, respectively. The activated Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were mixed with LB medium and diluted to 1×10 6 CFU mL -1 The bacterial solution sample was mixed with 1×10 6 CFU mL -1 The bacteria were incubated together for 20 minutes, and 50 μL of the bacterial turbid solution was spread onto the LB medium in the culture dish using a triangular glass spreading rod. The culture dish was incubated at 37°C for 24 hours, and the culture dish was photographed and recorded. At the same time, a bacterial culture dish without AuBTO solution was used as a control group, and the same experimental operation was performed.

[0103] 2. ELISA

[0104] To further study the antibacterial ability, AuBTO with different concentrations was placed in 4 mL of 400 μL bacterial suspension (1×10 6 CFU mL -1 ) in a sterile LB medium solution and shake the mixture in a constant temperature shaker at 37°C. After 6 hours, 200 μL of the suspension was collected and the absorbance (OD) was recorded at 570 nm by a microplate reader. The higher the OD value, the more turbid the bacterial solution.

[0105] 3. Silicon wafer scanning electron microscope detection method

[0106] The silicon wafer was placed on a 96-well plate, and 200 μL of the intervention Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus solution was drawn into the 96-well plate, centrifuged (3000-4000 rpm), the supernatant was removed, and an appropriate amount of PBS was added to wash three times. The bacteria were gently suspended, centrifuged, and the supernatant was removed. 2.5% glutaraldehyde was used for fixation for 3 hours, centrifuged, washed three times with PBS, and the supernatant was removed. Dehydration was performed on the sample in a gradient of 30%, 50%, 70%, 80%, and 90% ethanol aqueous solution, each step was 15 minutes, centrifuged, and dehydrated in anhydrous ethanol for 15 minutes, twice, and the supernatant was removed. The sample was then placed in a mixed solution of ethanol and tert-butanol at a ratio of 1:1 for 15 minutes, the supernatant was removed, and then the alcohol was replaced with pure tert-butanol twice, each time for 15 minutes, and the supernatant was removed. The 96-well plate containing the sample was frozen at -80°C, and then placed in a freeze dryer for freeze drying. After sufficient drying, the silicon wafer was gold-plated and observed under an electron microscope.

[0107] See also Figure 4 A, C, compared with the control group, the survival rate of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli treated with AuBTO decreased, which showed a certain bactericidal ability, and the bactericidal effect showed a trend of increasing concentration;

[0108] See also Figure 4 B, Compared with the control group, the Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli treated with AuBTO were attached, broken and shrunk by AuBTO wrapping.
