AI Technical Summary

Abstract
Description
1. Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medicine, and in particular to a preparation method and application of a tumor microenvironment-responsive dual-targeting gene delivery system. 2. Background Technology
[0002] CD8 + T cells are key effector cells for killing tumors. + Insufficient T cell infiltration and CD8 + T cell dysfunction will reduce its tumor killing ability. + T cell infiltration, reversal of CD8 + The exhaustion of T cells has become the key to improving anti-tumor immunotherapy. The latest research shows that knocking out gastric cancer cells or CD8 + LSD1 in T cells can promote CD8 + T cells infiltrate the tumor site and downregulate the expression of PD-L1 and PD-1, reversing the CD8 + Compared with knocking out LSD1 in one cell, it also affects gastric cancer cells and CD8 + LSD1 in T cells better restores CD8 + Therefore, it is necessary to design a dual-targeted gene delivery system to deliver the LSD1 knockout plasmid (sgLSD1) into the two cell types, thereby producing a synergistic anti-tumor immunotherapy effect.
[0003] Polyethyleneimine (PEI) is the most widely studied cationic polymer gene carrier. However, it suffers from low transfection efficiency, necessitating modification to improve it. Studies have shown that guanidinium modification is an effective method for increasing transfection efficiency. Furthermore, to target both T cells and tumor cells, separate peptides targeting both cells can be modified on the PEI surface. However, achieving co-delivery of two plasmids in a single system remains a challenge. Aldehyde groups and primary amino groups readily form imine bonds, acid-sensitive bonds that remain stable under physiological conditions (pH = 7.4) but undergo hydrolytic cleavage in the tumor microenvironment (pH = 6.5). Therefore, two nanoparticles with different targeting properties can be cross-linked using imine bonds formed by the aldehyde groups at the ends of glutaraldehyde and the amino groups on the polyethyleneimine nanoparticles. However, even after cross-linking, the nanoparticles still retain a strong positive charge, susceptible to nonspecific binding to serum proteins, and are rapidly cleared from the blood, severely hindering their further application in vivo. Studies have shown that poly (2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) carries a negative charge under physiological conditions, but undergoes protonation at pH 6.5 to convert it to a positive charge. Using PEOz as the shell of the nanosystem is expected to solve the above problems. In summary, targeted knockout of LSD1 in tumor cells and T cells, respectively, can better restore CD8 + The ability of T cells to kill tumors and achieve excellent anti-tumor immunotherapy effects is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved. 3.

[0116] The tumor microenvironment-responsive dual-targeted gene delivery system prepared in the above-mentioned Examples 1-6 and other Examples of the present invention can play multiple roles in tumor treatment, such as targeting tumors, improving the effect of anti-tumor immunotherapy, and reversing T cell exhaustion. It is effectively used in the preparation of anti-tumor drugs, and can be used in the preparation of anti-tumor drugs (injections), in the preparation of drugs that reduce the PD-1 / PD-L1 axis, and in the preparation of immunotherapy drugs based on in situ reprogramming of tumor cells and T cells.
[0117] The present invention uses 1800Da polyethyleneimine, a less toxic material, to condense a plasmid that knocks out LSD1. However, it suffers from a low transfection efficiency and, therefore, requires modification and transformation to improve its transfection efficiency. To address this, the 1800Da polyethyleneimine is guanidated, which improves the transfection efficiency of polyethyleneimine in multiple pathways, including plasmid condensation, cellular uptake, lysosomal escape, and nuclear entry. To achieve cellular selectivity, two polypeptides targeting tumor cells (SGQYASYHCWCWRDPGRSGGSK) and T cells (AKMGEGGWGANDY) are modified, respectively, and two small-size nanoparticles with different targeting properties are obtained after plasmid condensation. To deliver them simultaneously to the tumor site without affecting the subsequent separate targeting of the two cells, glutaraldehyde is proposed as a linker. The aldehyde group and the primary amino group easily form an imine bond, an acid-sensitive bond that remains structurally stable under physiological conditions (pH = 7.4) but undergoes hydrolysis and cleavage in the tumor microenvironment (pH = 6.5). Therefore, the aldehyde groups at both ends of the imine bond and the amino groups on the polyethyleneimine in the nanoparticle form an imine bond to crosslink the two nanoparticles with different targeting properties. After crosslinking, the nanoparticles still have a strong positive charge, easily nonspecifically binding to serum proteins and being rapidly cleared from the blood, seriously hindering their further application in vivo. To shield the positive charge, the present invention chooses to use poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) as the outer shell. It has a negative charge under physiological conditions, but can be protonated to a positive charge at pH = 6.5, thereby generating charge repulsion with the core and achieving the effect of shedding from the nanoparticle surface. When the dual-targeted gene delivery system reaches the tumor microenvironment, the outer layer (2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) is reversed from negative charge to positive charge, and the inner layer with positive charge is repelled and detached. At the same time, the carbon-nitrogen double bond in the cross-linked core is broken in response to acid, and the two nanoparticles with different targeting properties are separated. Under the modification of the target head and guanidine group, the LSD1 knockout plasmid can be efficiently and accurately delivered to the tumor cells and T cell nuclei, knocking out LSD1 in both cells, thereby increasing CD8 + T cell infiltration, restoration of CD8 + T cell proliferation and differentiation ability, reduce the expression of PD-L1 and PD-1, activate CD8 + T cell killing response stimulates a powerful anti-tumor immune response.
[0118] The gene delivery vector prepared by the present invention has a simple synthesis method. The dual-targeted nanogene delivery system can respond to the acidic environment of the tumor microenvironment. The poly (2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) shell is reversed from a negative charge to a positive charge, generating charge repulsion with the positively charged core and falling off from the surface of the nanoparticle. The cross-linked core also responds to the acidic environment at the same time, the nitrogen-carbon double bond breaks, and disintegrates into nanoparticles with different targeting properties, respectively accurately targeting tumor cells and T cells and knocking out LSD1 in both cells, thereby increasing CD8+ T cell infiltration and activation of its killing response, exerting a powerful anti-tumor immunotherapy, and repeated multiple tests have achieved consistent or similar results. Taking Example 2 as an example, the relevant experimental data are as follows:

[0122] 2. Determination of particle size and potential of tumor microenvironment-responsive dual-targeted gene delivery system;

After 1, 4, 8, 12, 24, and 36 hours of administration, the mice were anesthetized and placed in the in vivo imaging instrument to collect images. The results showed that the tumor microenvironment responsive dual-targeted gene delivery system can effectively accumulate in the tumor site ( Figure 5 ).

Twelve hours later, the tumor tissue was dissected out and lysed to obtain a single cell suspension, which was then stained, washed, filtered, and transferred to a flow cytometer for detection. Figure 6 The results showed that the preparation was mainly taken up by two target cells: T cells and tumor cells.
