Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of polymer material science and biomedical science, and particularly relates to a degradable cationic polymer with bone targeting function, a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Gene therapy, as a cutting-edge treatment approach, provides a new way of thinking for the treatment of various diseases by specifically regulating gene expression in specific cells. The implementation of this method relies on the effective delivery of nucleic acids such as DNA, mRNA, saRNA, siRNA, miRNA, etc., which are the key mediators of gene regulation. However, due to the large size and hydrophilicity of nucleic acid molecules, they are difficult to cross the cell membrane alone, especially when administered systemically, they need to overcome multiple physiological barriers to reach the action site. Currently, although traditional delivery platforms such as viral vectors, lipid nanocomposites and polymers have been widely studied, they each have limitations such as cytotoxicity, instability and lack of targeting, etc.

[0003] Polymeric materials have shown significant advantages in nucleic acid delivery due to their multifunctionality, expandability and precise controllability. By adjusting the structure, molecular weight of the polymer and making specific modifications, polymer nucleic acid delivery systems that can target different organs have been successfully developed. In particular, cationic polymers form nanocomposites with negatively charged nucleic acids through electrostatic interactions, providing protection for nucleic acids to cross biological barriers and achieving precise organ targeting by regulating the physical properties of nanocomposites.

[0004] In the treatment of bone-related diseases, the unique extracellular matrix and complex bone marrow microenvironment of bone tissue make it difficult for drugs to effectively penetrate and accumulate at the lesion site. This non-specific biodistribution not only affects the treatment effect, but also can cause unnecessary side effects to patients. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop stable, efficient and degradable bone-targeting nucleic acid delivery carriers, which can ensure that nucleic acid drugs accurately and safely reach the target site, thereby exerting the best therapeutic effect.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0158] Example 1: Synthesis of polymers with different alendrolic acid grafting ratios

[0159] N,N'-bis(acryloyl)cysteine ​​(1 mmol), 4-aminobutanol, alendronate (1 mmol total), and triethylamine (0.1 mmol) were added to a flask equipped with a stir bar, along with a mixed solvent of methanol / water (4 / 1, v / v). The polymerization reaction was carried out in the dark at 50°C under a nitrogen atmosphere. The mixture was allowed to react for 5 to 14 days (depending on the target molecular weight) to produce a highly viscous solution. Aliquots were taken at predetermined time intervals for 1H NMR spectroscopy. 1 HNMR and gel permeation chromatography (SEC) were used to monitor conversion and molar mass. Once the target molar mass was reached, the reaction was stopped by dilution with MeOH. The diluted reaction mixture was then acidified to pH ~4 with 1.0 M HCl, and purified by dialysis against acidic water (4.0 L, pH ~5, changed 6 times over 3 days). The polymer was collected as a white solid in its hydrochloride form after lyophilization. The structural formula of the polymer is shown below (Ia1):

[0180] Example 3: In vitro bone-targeting ability of polymers with different alendronate contents

[0181] Polymers with different alendronate contents (25 mg) prepared in Example 1 were dissolved in deionized water (5 mL), and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) dissolved in 100 μL DMF (1 mg) was added to the polymer solutions. The mixtures were allowed to react in the dark at 25°C for 24 hours. The reaction mixture was then dialyzed against acidic water (pH ~5, refreshed 6 times over 3 days) in the dark (molecular weight cutoff 3.5 kDa). After freeze-drying, the fluorescently labeled polymers were collected as yellow solids. The FITC-labeled bone-targeting polymers and FITC-labeled non-targeting polymers were dissolved in deionized water to a concentration of 0.2 mg / mL, and the initial fluorescence intensity (IL) was measured using a multi-mode microplate reader (excitation wavelength = 485 ± 20 nm, emission wavelength = 535 ± 20 nm). t0 Then, hydroxyapatite powder (10.0 mg) was added to 1.50 mL of FITC-labeled polymer solution, and the mixture was stirred continuously at 37 °C for 6.0 h. After centrifugation, the fluorescence intensity (Ig) of the supernatant was measured. t The binding rate of the polymer to hydroxyapatite (HAP) is calculated using the following formula: HAP binding rate = (I t0 -I t ) / I t0 ×100%. The binding rate of pABOL to hydroxyapatite was 69.04%, the binding rate of the polymer with 5% alendronate to hydroxyapatite was 84.34%, the binding rate of the polymer with 10% alendronate to hydroxyapatite was 86.1%, and the binding rate of the polymer with 20% alendronate to hydroxyapatite was 87.18%. A comparison of the in vitro bone-targeting capabilities of polymers with different alendronate contents is shown in the attached graph. Figure 1 As shown.

[0182] Example 4: Preparation of nanocomposites by combining bone-targeting polymers with different nucleic acids

[0183] Before the experiment, prepare a HEPES buffer containing 20 mM HEPES, 5.0 wt% glucose, and pH=7 using RNase-free ultrapure water, and sterilize it by filtration through a 0.22 μm PES filter. Prepare polymer stock solutions of 1.0 μg / μL RNA and 10 μg / μL using RNase-free ultrapure water, and dilute to the appropriate concentrations with different volumes of HEPES buffer as needed during titration. Taking the preparation of a nanocomplex with a polymer / miRNA mass ratio of 20 / 1 (μg / μg) and a final miRNA concentration of 100 μg / mL as an example: Add 10 μL of miRNA stock solution to a 2.0 mL sterile centrifuge tube, add 50 μL of pH=7 HEPES buffer to dilute, and mix thoroughly to obtain the miRNA buffer. Add 20 μL of polymer stock solution to a 2.0 mL sterile centrifuge tube, add 20 μL of pH=7 HEPES buffer, and mix thoroughly to obtain the polymer buffer. Then, miRNA buffer was added to polymer buffer at a drip rate of 160 μL / min using a syringe pump, with magnetic stirring maintained at 1200 r / min during the addition. After the addition was complete, stirring was continued for 30 min until a stable polymer / miRNA nanocomposite was formed. The nanocomposite, with pH=7 and a ratio of 10% ALN-pABOL / miRNA=15 / 1 (w / w), was dropped onto one side of a carbon film on a copper mesh and dried at room temperature. It was then stained with 1% phosphotungstic acid solution, air-dried, and observed under a transmission electron microscope. The results are shown in the attached figure. Figure 2 As shown, the morphology of the nanocomposite is spherical particles with a particle size of approximately 200 nm. The DLS characterization results of the nanocomposite are shown in Table 3 below. The DLS particle size distribution curves for the nanocomposite at pH=7 and 10% ALN-pABOL / miRNA=15 / 1 (w / w) are attached. Figure 3 As shown, the hydrodynamic diameter (D) h The wavelength is 212.2 nm, and the polydispersity (PD) is 0.006.

[0185]

[0186] Example 5: In vitro stability and GSH responsiveness of bone-targeting polymer / miRNA complex

[0187] The nanocomposite, with pH=7 and 10% ALN-pABOL / miRNA=20 / 1 (w / w), was stored in HEPES buffer (20 mM HEPES, 5 wt% glucose, pH 7.0) at 4 °C. The hydrodynamic diameter (D) was determined using dynamic light scattering (DLS).h ) and polydispersity (PD), every other day. Results are attached. Figure 4 As shown, after the nanocomposite was stored at 4°C for two weeks, its hydrodynamic diameter (D) decreased. h The nanometer diameter (nm) remains below 300 nm, and the polydispersity (PD) remains below 0.2, indicating that it has good in vitro stability.

[0188] A 10% ALN-pABOL / miRNA = 20 / 1 (w / w) nanocomplex with a miRNA concentration of 10 μg / mL was prepared in HEPES buffer containing 20 mM HEPES, 5.0 wt% glucose, and pH=7. 20 μL of 100 mM reduced glutathione aqueous solution was added to 180 μL of the nanocomplex solution, and the hydrodynamic diameter (D) of the 10% ALN-pABOL / miRNA nanocomplex was measured over 5 hours at 25 °C using dynamic light scattering (DLS). h The variation of polydispersity (PD) over time was studied. Results are attached. Figure 5 As shown, the hydrodynamic diameter (D) of the nanocomposite decreased within 5 hours after the addition of a reduced glutathione aqueous solution. h The nanometer diameter (N) rises above 1000 nm, and the polydispersity (PD) rises above 0.3, indicating that it has good GSH responsiveness.

[0189] Example 6: Cellular uptake of bone-targeting polymer / miRNA complex

[0190] Nanocomplexes with a miRNA concentration of 1000 nM were prepared in HEPES buffer (20 mM HEPES, 5 wt% glucose aqueous solution, pH=7) using PEI, pABOL, 10% ALN-pABOL, 20% ALN-pABOL, and 5-carboxyfluorescein (5-FAM, excitation / emission wavelength 492 / 520 nm) labeled FAM-miRNA at a mass ratio of 20:1. Before transfection, MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells were cultured at 6 × 10⁻⁶ cells / year. 3 Cells were seeded at a density of [number] cells / well in 96-well plates and cultured in 100 μL of complete medium for 24 hours. The medium was then changed, and each well was washed three times with 100 μL of PBS. 10 μL of polymer / miRNA complex buffer was mixed thoroughly with 90 μL of serum-free and antibiotic-free medium and added to the 96-well plates. Cells were co-cultured for 3 hours. After the appropriate transfection time, the medium was removed, and each well was washed three times with 100 μL of PBS. The cells were then analyzed using a fluorescence microplate reader. The results are attached. Figure 6As shown in the results, the uptake efficiency of MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells after co-culturing with different nanocomplexes for 3 hours was higher than that of commercially available nanocomplexes formed by PEI and miRNA, demonstrating high uptake efficiency.

[0191] Example 7: Cytotoxicity of bone-targeting polymer / miRNA complex

[0192] Cytotoxicity of bone-targeting polymer / miRNA complexes was tested: PEI / miRNA, Lipo / miRNA, pABOL / miRNA, and 10% ALN-pABOL / miRNA nanocomplex solutions were prepared in HEPES buffer at optimal ratios using a 50 / 50 dilution method. MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells or MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts were inoculated at 8.0 × 10⁻⁶ cells / mL. 3 Cells were seeded per well in 96-well plates and cultured in 100 μL of DMEM or α-MEM complete medium for 24 hours. Afterward, the medium was changed, and 10 μL of different concentrations of different nanocomposite solutions and 90 μL of serum-free and antibiotic-free medium were added to each well. Three replicates were set for each concentration of each material, and the cells were co-cultured for 8 hours, after which the medium was changed again. 10 μL of CCK-8 chromogenic solution and 100 μL of fresh complete medium were added to each well, and the cells were cultured for another 2-4 hours. The absorbance at 450 nm was measured using a microplate reader. Cells not co-cultured with the nanocomposite solution served as a control group. The cytotoxicity of the materials was characterized by the relative cell viability of each group of cells. Relative cell viability can be calculated using the following formula, where A... s A represents the absorbance of the experimental well. c A represents the absorbance of the control well. b The absorbance of the culture medium in wells containing CCK-8 represents the absorbance of uninoculated cells. The results showed that the 10% ALN-pABOL / miRNA=20 / 1 (w / w) nanocomposite did not exhibit cytotoxicity against MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells or MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts (test data are shown below). Figure 7 and Figure 8 (As shown).

[0193] Relative cell viability = ×100%

[0194] Example 8: In vitro transfection of bone-targeting polymer / mRNA complex

[0195] The in vitro transfection efficiency of the bone-targeting polymer / mRNA complex was tested: A nanocomplex solution with an mRNA concentration of 1000 nM was prepared in HEPES buffer (20 mM HEPES, 5 wt% glucose aqueous solution, pH 7.4) using PEI, pABOL, 10% ALN-pABOL, and eGFP mRNA (eGFP, excitation / emission wavelength 488 / 507 nm) in the optimal ratio. One day before transfection, HEK-293T human embryonic kidney cells were transfected at 8.0 × 10⁻⁶ mM. 3 Cells / well were seeded in 96-well plates and cultured in 100 μL of DMEM complete medium for 24 hours. Afterward, the medium was changed, and 10 μL of nanocomposite solution and 90 μL of serum-free and antibiotic-free medium were added to each well. Three replicates were set up for each material. After a total of 4 hours of culture, the medium was replaced with 100 μL of fresh complete medium, and cultured for another 24 hours. Transfection was then observed under a fluorescence microscope. Fluorescence imaging is attached. Figure 9 As shown, from left to right, the transfection efficiencies of PEI / mRNA, pABOL / mRNA, and 10% ALN-pABOL / mRNA nanocomplexes are as follows. The results indicate that both pABOL / mRNA and 10% ALN-pABOL / mRNA nanocomplexes exhibit similar high in vitro transfection efficiencies to the commercially available transfection reagent PEI.

[0196] Example 9: Effects of bone-targeting polymer / miRNA complex on cell proliferation

[0197] A nanocomposite with a miRNA concentration of 1000 nM was prepared in HEPES buffer (20 mM HEPES, 5 wt% glucose aqueous solution, pH 7.4) using a polymer containing 10% alendronate at a mass ratio of 20:1 to miRNA. MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells and MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts were then cultured at 8.0 × 10⁻⁶ cells / mL. 3 Cells were seeded at a density of [number] cells / well in 96-well plates (at least 3 replicates per group), and cultured in 100 μL DMEM medium for 24 hours, followed by medium replacement. Each well was washed three times with 50 μL PBS. 10 μL of bone-targeting polymer / miRNA complex buffer or PBS was mixed thoroughly with 90 μL of serum-free and antibiotic-free medium and added to the 96-well plate. After co-culturing for 8 hours, the medium was changed, and each well was washed three times with 50 μL PBS. 100 μL of complete DMEM medium was added. CCK-8 was added at 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours of culture. The absorbance of cells at 450 nm was monitored over time using a microplate reader. All CCK-8 assays were performed triplicate to assess cell viability. Results are attached. Figure 10 and 11As shown, the results indicated that the 10% ALN-pABOL / miRNA complex significantly inhibited the proliferation of MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells, but had no significant effect on the proliferation of MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts.

[0198] Example 10: In vivo bone-targeting capability of the bone-targeting polymer / miRNA complex

[0199] A nanocomplex with a miRNA concentration of 100 μg / ml was prepared in HEPES buffer (20 mM HEPES, 5 wt% glucose aqueous solution, pH 7.4) using a 10% molar percentage of alendronate polymer and Cy5-labeled miRNA at a mass ratio of 20:1. Two 5-week-old female BALB / c nude mice of similar weight were intravenously injected with 100 μL of the pABOL / miRNA complex and 10% ALN-pABOL / miRNA complex, respectively. In vivo imaging (IVIS) was used to monitor the mice at 1 h, 4 h, 24 h, and 48 h post-administration. At 48 h, tissues from major organs (heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, tibia, femur, and spine) of both mice were collected for IVIS imaging. The test results are attached. Figure 12 As shown, the results indicate that the 10% ALN-pABOL / miRNA complex exhibits significantly better bone-targeting performance compared to the pABOL / miRNA complex.
