Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of nanomaterials and tumor treatment, and in particular to a preparation method of a cascade nanoscale enzyme for synergistic action of cascade catalytic therapy and photothermal therapy. BACKGROUND

[0002] Tumor therapy induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS) has attracted great research interest due to its high efficiency and non-invasiveness. Excessive production of ROS (hydroxyl radical ·OH) can cause a series of cell injuries such as cytoskeleton contraction and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) chain breakage, and ultimately leads to tumor cell apoptosis. Enzymes can generate reactive oxygen species in vivo to achieve tumor therapy, and can also activate the body's immune capacity and enhance the function of the immune system. Enzyme therapy for generating ROS for tumor therapy has attracted the attention of researchers. However, natural enzymes have disadvantages such as high cost, poor stability, low yield, difficulty in preservation, and short half-life, which seriously limit the practical application of enzyme therapy.

[0003] Nanoscale enzymes, as a class of nanomaterials containing enzymatic properties, have formed a new field. Nanoscale enzymes have the advantages of economy, stability, and ease of mass production. More importantly, nanoscale enzymes combine the catalytic activity of enzymes and the unique physicochemical properties of nanomaterials, making them a substitute for natural enzymes and widely used in the biomedical field. Nanoscale enzymes can use the weak acidity in the tumor microenvironment as a reaction condition, and use intratumoral hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as a reaction raw material to trigger Fenton / Fenton-like reactions, catalyze intratumoral H2O2 into toxic hydroxyl radicals (·OH), thereby inducing cell apoptosis and achieving chemical kinetic therapy of tumors. However, how to further improve the efficacy of chemical kinetic therapy still faces great challenges. Among them, the catalytic efficiency of the catalyst is an important factor that directly affects its therapeutic effect. Single-atom nanoscale enzymes refer to single-atom catalysts with enzymatic catalytic activity, in which metal atoms are monodispersed on the carrier as active sites, maximizing the utilization of atomic catalysis, so that they can trigger abnormally low or high levels of intracellular biomarkers to induce cancer-specific cytotoxicity, which can greatly improve the efficiency of chemical kinetic therapy. In addition, the carbon-loaded structure obtained based on high-temperature carbonization has strong near-infrared absorption, and this feature can be used for photothermal therapy of tumors to further enhance the therapeutic effect.

[0004] The research finds that the low content of endogenous H2O2 in the tumor microenvironment greatly limits the efficiency of Fenton / Fenton-like reaction, thereby reducing the effect of chemical kinetics therapy. An effective way to solve this problem is to increase the content of H2O2 in the tumor. Studies have confirmed that the tumor contains a large amount of glucose to support the rapid growth of the tumor. Based on this fact, on the one hand, glucose oxidase (GOx) can be used to catalyze the decomposition of glucose to produce a large amount of H2O2, providing enough reaction substrate for Fenton / Fenton-like reaction, thereby increasing the production of ROS and accelerating the catalytic therapy process; on the other hand, GOx can be used to deplete a large amount of glucose in the tumor microenvironment to achieve better tumor inhibition effect. Based on the above research results or facts, it is necessary to introduce nano-enzyme and GOx into the tumor tissue at the same time. Some scholars propose to use Fe3O4 nano-enzyme and GOx to construct a cascade reaction system. Some studies report that Fe3O4 nano-enzyme and GOx or gold nano-enzyme particles with GOx activity are assembled into a medium material to construct a double-enzyme triggered cascade reaction platform; after targeting the tumor microenvironment, GOx catalyzes the decomposition of excess glucose in the tumor tissue into excess H2O2, which is further degraded by Fe3O4 nano-enzyme into a large amount of ROS for tumor therapy. However, the encapsulation amount of GOx in this double-enzyme cascade reaction platform is limited, which makes it difficult to achieve the desired catalytic effect; and the efficiency of Fe3O4 nano-enzyme in triggering Fenton / Fenton-like reaction is low, which cannot fully release ROS to achieve more efficient tumor therapy. SUMMARY

Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0047] Example 1

[0048] A preparation method of a cascade catalytic nanoreaction system is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0049] First step, synthesis of CuNC single-atom nanoszyme

[0050] 0.1 g of Cu(NO3)2 was dissolved in 50 mL of anhydrous ethanol at room temperature, and 50 g of KCl was added as a template and stirred overnight. Then, the obtained solution was added to 50 mL of anhydrous ethanol containing 0.1 g of 2-methylimidazole, and the mixture was dried at 60°C to obtain a blue powder.

[0051] Second step, loading of glucose oxidase (GOx)

[0052] The CuNC single-atom nanoszyme was ultrasonically broken for 20 min at 80% power to obtain a 4 mL solution of 1 mg / mL dispersed in ultrapure water (resistivity of 18.2 MΩ·cm), and 10 mg of glucose oxidase (activity of 100 U / mg) was added to the solution and stirred overnight, and then centrifuged at a speed of 15000 rpm to obtain the nanoszyme CuNC-GOx loaded with glucose oxidase.

The next day, centrifugation was performed at a speed of 15000 rpm, and the black precipitate was washed with water. The precipitate was resuspended to 4 mL to obtain a 1 mg / mL solution in terms of CuNC, that is, the CGP nanoreaction system capable of cascade catalytic reaction was obtained by further modification with PEG.

[0061] ​​​​​​​​​A cascade catalytic nanoreaction system prepared by the present embodiment is used to test enzyme activity and in vitro and in vivo anti-tumor efficacy (other embodiments have the same test effect as the present embodiment), and the method is as follows:

[0062] (1) POD-like activity test

[0063] POD-like activity of the embodiment 1 is determined by colorimetry in 0.1M acetic acid-sodium acetate (HAc-NaAc) buffer solution (pH = 4.0) with 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) as a chromogenic substrate. In 0.20 mL of HAc-NaAc buffer solution, nanocatalyst solution (10 μL, 100 μg / mL), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2 aqueous solution, 100 μL, 1 mM) and TMB solution (50 μL, 10 mM) are sequentially added and mixed thoroughly. The mixed solution is incubated at 37°C in the dark for 1 minute. The final concentrations of nanocatalyst, hydrogen peroxide and TMB are fixed at 100 μg / mL, 100 mM and 1 mM, respectively. The ultraviolet-visible absorption spectrum of the test solution is recorded by a multifunctional enzyme marker.

[0064] The results are shown in Figure 7 , and TMB molecules are oxidized by ·OH, with a maximum absorbance of 652 nm. To further explore the relationship between concentration and catalytic efficiency, the results are shown in Figure 8 , and the absorbance value increases with the increase of H2O2 concentration in the presence of CuNC single-atom nanocatalyst. The above tests prove that the embodiment 1 exhibits significant POD-like activity.

[0065] (2) Cascade catalytic activity test

[0066] Using the characteristics of glucose oxidase that can catalyze glucose to glucose acid and H2O2, a cascade catalytic nanoreaction system is added to a glucose solution of different concentrations, and then TMB is used as a color developing agent. It is observed that the rate of TMB conversion to blue oxTMB changes with the change of glucose concentration. The POD activity is also enhanced, further indicating that GOx still maintains excellent catalytic activity in the system.

[0067] The results are shown in Figure 9 , and the absorbance value of the solution at 652 nm gradually increases with the increase of glucose concentration, showing significant POD-GOx-like activity.

[0068] (3) Photothermal performance test

[0069] The temperature change of CuNC single-atom nanocatalyst under near-infrared irradiation is determined by a thermometer.

[0070] CuNC monatomic nanoszyme was dispersed into different concentrations after sufficient ultrasonic disruption. 1 mL of the dispersion was placed in an ep tube and irradiated by a near-infrared irradiation instrument at 1.5 W / cm 2 The temperature change of the solution within ten minutes was obtained under the irradiation of the near-infrared irradiation instrument at different powers Figure 10 As the concentration of the dispersion increased, the rate of temperature rise of the solution also increased, indicating that the photothermal performance of the material was dependent on the concentration of the material. In order to further explore the effect of the power of the near-infrared irradiation instrument on the photothermal efficiency of the CuNC monatomic nanoszyme, the temperature change curve of the dispersion at 100 ug / mL under different powers was obtained, as shown in Figure 11 As the power increased, the rate of temperature rise of the solution also increased, indicating that the photothermal performance of the material was dependent on the power of the near-infrared irradiation instrument.

[0071] (4) In vitro efficacy test

[0072] The state of the cells was observed and determined by using a Calcein-AM / PI live cell / dead cell double staining kit.

[0073] After the 4T1 cells were digested with 0.25% trypsin-EDTA, the cells were collected and washed with 1x Assay Buffer, centrifuged at 450g for 5 min, twice, to remove residual esterase. The cell pellet obtained by centrifugation was resuspended with 1x Assay Buffer, and the cell suspension after resuspension was counted to have a cell amount of 1x10 5~6 6 / ml. 1-2 ul of Calcein-AM (stock solution) was added to each 1 ml of cell amount, and the mixture was mixed by blowing, incubated at 37°C in the dark for 20-25 min; 3-5 ul of PI stock solution provided in the kit was added to the above stained cells, and the cells were stained at room temperature in the dark for 5 min; the cells after incubation with fluorescence were centrifuged at 450g for 5 min to remove the staining solution; the cells were washed with 1x PBS at 450g for 5 min, and then resuspended with 1x PBS after centrifugation; 3-5 ul was dropped on a clean glass slide, and a clean cover glass was used to press the slide, and then fluorescence microscopy was performed in time; under the fluorescence microscope, 490±10 nm excitation filter was used to detect live cells (yellow-green fluorescence) and dead cells (red fluorescence) at the same time. In addition, only dead cells can be observed using a 545 nm emission filter. Direct detection can also be performed using appropriate filters under a fluorescence microplate reader. It is recommended to avoid light throughout the process of fluorescence staining of cells. The results are shown in Figure 12As shown, by observing that the cells incubated with CuNC monatomic nanoszyme were slightly affected compared to untreated cells; but when the cells were incubated with the cascade catalytic nanoreaction system CGP, nearly half of the cells were apoptotic; while further adding infrared irradiation at the same time of incubating with the cascade catalytic nanoreaction system CGP, the tumor cells were almost completely apoptotic. It shows that this cascade catalytic nanoreaction system prepared in this way has good anti-tumor effect, and the anti-tumor efficiency is obviously improved after combined with near-infrared irradiation.

[0074] (4) In vivo efficacy test

[0075] Female albino laboratory mice (BALB / c) nude mice (6 weeks old, body weight about 20 g) were selected as animal models. The animal experiments in this study were strictly in accordance with the approved protocol of the Ethics Committee of Wuhan University of Science and Technology Medical College (Approval No: 2024136). The right back was subcutaneously injected with mouse breast cancer cells (4T1 cells (8 x 10 5 ))· The 4T1 tumor-bearing mice were randomly divided into 3 groups (4 in each group): control group and Example 1 group and Example 1 combined with near-infrared group. Each group was given 10 mg / Kg, once, and light was added after 24 h interval. During the treatment, the body weight and tumor size were measured every other day and recorded.

[0076] The results are shown in Figure 13 , which are in sharp contrast to the control group. After injecting the synthetic nanoszyme, the tumor growth was effectively inhibited. Among them, the inhibition rate of Example 1 was higher. Combined with the activity test of the nanoszyme, we can conclude that the excellent therapeutic effect of Example 1 is due to the synergistic effect between glucose depletion and cascade catalysis. It is worth mentioning that the tumor inhibition rate in the Example 1 combined with near-infrared group was further improved, which can be attributed to the fact that near-infrared improves a certain catalytic efficiency and plays a certain role in ablation of the tumor. As Figure 14 shown, the body weight of mice in each group remained basically unchanged within 18 days, which further indicates that the toxicity and side effects of these synthetic nanoszymes on mice can be ignored.

[0077] Next, the tumor tissue was subjected to histopathological analysis, and the degree of damage of the nanoszyme to the tumor tissue was evaluated by hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining; the tumor cell proliferation was detected by Ki-67 antigen; and the tumor cell apoptosis was detected by TUNEL antigen.

[0078] The results are shown in Figure 15 , which are in sharp contrast to the control group. After injecting the synthetic nanoszyme, the tumor growth was effectively inhibited. Among them, the inhibition rate of Example 1 was higher. Combined with the activity test of the nanoszyme, we can conclude that the excellent therapeutic effect of Example 1 is due to the synergistic effect between glucose depletion and cascade catalysis. It is worth mentioning that the tumor inhibition rate in the Example 1 combined with near-infrared group was further improved, which can be attributed to the fact that near-infrared improves a certain catalytic efficiency and plays a certain role in ablation of the tumor. As Figure 15The leftmost column) is more pronounced after Example 1 combined with near-infrared treatment. As shown by immunohistochemical staining of the antigen Ki-67, after Example 1 combined with near-infrared treatment, the expression of Ki-67 was significantly reduced, and the tumor proliferation trend was weakened Figure 15 The middle column), only after Example 1 treatment still maintained a certain expression level. Immunohistochemical analysis of TUNEL revealed the apoptosis of cells, and the expression level of TUNEL in the tumor of the mouse treated with Example 1 combined with near-infrared was significantly increased, indicating that apoptosis occurred Figure 15 The rightmost column) is more pronounced after Example 1 combined with near-infrared treatment. In summary, the ROS accumulation level in the tumor of the mouse treated with Example 1 combined with near-infrared is high, indicating that the apoptosis is strong. The material of the application can be successfully enriched in the tumor site, and is specifically adapted to the tumor microenvironment to trigger efficient in situ treatment, and further enhances the anti-tumor performance under the assistance of near-infrared.

[0079] The above examples and comparative examples illustrate that the preparation method of the cascade catalytic nanoreaction system is to continuously try the amount of raw materials, so as to make the obtained nanoscale enzyme show high catalytic efficiency in the smallest range of raw material amount; strict control of each process link, after many practices, a cascade catalytic nanoreaction system which can be used as a cascade catalytic nanoreaction system for synergistic photothermal therapy in the field of tumor treatment is finally developed.
