Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an aggregation-induced luminescence photosensitizer and a pharmaceutical composition, preparation method and application thereof, and in particular to an aggregation-induced luminescence photosensitizer capable of inducing cell pyroptosis and ferroptosis and a pharmaceutical composition, preparation method and application thereof with synergistic photoimmunological efficacy. Background Art
[0002] Immunogenic cell death (ICD) is an immune-stimulating response induced by necrosis or programmed cell death. During ICD, cells produce a series of signaling molecules called damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). DAMPs primarily include calreticulin exposed on the cell surface, highly mobile proteins diffusing out of the nucleus, ATP released by cells, and heat shock proteins. These DAMPs act as natural immune agonists, binding to pattern recognition receptors on the surface of dendritic cells, promoting dendritic cell maturation and initiating a series of cellular responses, ultimately activating both innate and adaptive immune responses.
[0003] Ferroptosis and pyroptosis are two typical immunogenic cell death mechanisms that can activate or alter the immune system. The essence of ferroptosis is the depletion of glutathione, the decreased activity of glutathione peroxidase (GPX4), and the inability of lipid oxides to be metabolized through the glutathione reductase reaction catalyzed by GPX4. Pyroptosis is a new type of lytic cell death, activated by the gasdermin protein family (GSDM) (including GSDMD, GSDME, etc.). The cleaved GSDM will pore in the cell membrane, thereby destroying the cell membrane and releasing a large amount of pro-inflammatory factors and intracellular substances.
[0004] Pyroptosis- and ferroptosis-mediated immunotherapy primarily relies on chemotherapy drugs, but they suffer from severe toxic side effects. Poly(I:C), an artificial interferon inducer, can induce apoptosis and immunogenic cell death (ICD), but it requires high dosage, low immune response rates, and a narrow therapeutic window. Therefore, the clinical application of these immunotherapeutic drugs is limited and cannot meet the demand for highly effective, low-toxic treatments. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Purpose of the invention: The first purpose of the present invention is to provide an aggregation-induced luminescence photosensitizer that targets and induces pyroptosis and ferroptosis in tumor cells. The second purpose is to provide a pharmaceutical composition constructed with the aggregation-induced luminescence photosensitizer and having a synergistic photoimmunological therapeutic effect. The third purpose is to provide a preparation method thereof. The fourth purpose is to provide their pharmaceutical applications.
[0006] Technical solution: The aggregation-induced emission photosensitizer of the present invention has the following structure:
[0007]
[0008] Phototherapy is an interventional treatment method for tumors with adjustable light damage, non-invasiveness and low side effects. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) are two reasonable ways to achieve phototherapy. In the photodynamic process, the photosensitizer produces cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) under light; while in the photothermal process, light energy is effectively converted into thermal energy by the photothermal agent. The reactive oxygen species and photothermal energy produced by the photosensitizer targeting lysosomes make the lysosomal membrane permeabilized and the lysosomal function abnormal, thereby further triggering ICD. The AIE photosensitizer designed in the present invention has shown great advantages in fluorescence imaging and photodynamic therapy due to its high brightness in the aggregated state, good photostability and large Stokes shift, and has the potential for the design and application of lysosome-targeted drugs.
[0009] The anti-tumor pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is obtained by co-assembling an aggregation-induced luminescence photosensitizer selected from any of the following structures and an immune agonist Poly(I:C) through electrostatic interaction and modifying it with an amphiphilic PEG modifier,

Under illumination, the photosensitizer in the pharmaceutical composition can generate a large amount of ROS and heat, thereby causing lysosomal dysfunction in the cells, increasing lysosomal membrane permeability, and releasing substances within the lysosomes into the cytoplasm, inducing pyroptosis and ferroptosis in the cells. At the same time, the photosensitizer promotes the release of cell contents and inflammatory cytokines by inducing cell pyroptosis, and can synergize with the immune agonist Poly (I: C), thereby activating anti-tumor immune responses, promoting the production of tumor-specific antigens and the maturation of dendritic cells, promoting T cell activation and proliferation, and providing systemic anti-tumor immunity. This makes the pharmaceutical composition designed by the present invention an effective, low-side effect, targeted dual-induction drug for tumor cell pyroptosis and ferroptosis.

[0061] Example 2: Evaluation of the photophysical properties of the aggregation-induced emission photosensitizer MTCN-3
[0062] like Figure 2As shown in Figure 2, the DMSO solution of MTCN-3 (10 μM) showed a main absorption peak at 499 nm and a fluorescence emission peak at 760 nm. Figure 3 As shown, MTCN-3 exhibits significant aggregation-induced emission properties in a mixed solution of DMSO and toluene.
[0063] like Figure 4 As shown, dichlorofluorescein (DCFH) was used as ROS indicator and 10 mW cm -2 The spectra were recorded immediately after irradiating a mixture of photosensitizer MTCN-3 (10 μM) and DCFH (10 μM) with white light (500-600 nm) for different periods of time. The fluorescence of DCFH is excited at 488 nm, demonstrating the excellent ROS generation capacity of MTCN-3.
[0064] like Figure 5 As shown, the photothermal behavior of MTCN-3 was evaluated using a 520 nm laser. -2 When the MTCN-3 solution (100 μM) was irradiated with light, the temperature gradually increased from 25°C to a maximum of 93.4°C. The photothermal conversion efficiency (η) of MTCN-3 was 24.02%, indicating that MTCN-3 has a photothermal effect in vitro.
[0065] Example 3: Preparation of anti-tumor drug composition M@P for photoimmunotherapy
[0066] (1) Preparation of the anti-tumor drug composition M@P for photoimmunotherapy constructed with the aggregation-induced luminescence photosensitizer MTCN-3
[0067] Dissolve 3 mg of MTCN-3 in 0.5 mL of DMSO and 1 mg of Poly(I:C) in 1 mL of deionized water. Add both solutions simultaneously to 18 mL of water and stir at 1200 rpm. Dissolve 12 mg of DSPE-Hyd-PEG-Folate (PEG with a molecular weight of 2000) in 0.5 mL of DMSO and sonicate until completely dissolved. Then, add the mixture to the stirring solution and stir at 1200 rpm overnight.
[0068] (2) Preparation of anti-tumor drug composition for photoimmunotherapy constructed with aggregation-induced luminescence photosensitizers M1 and D1
[0069] Dissolve 3 mg of photosensitizer M1 or D1 in 0.5 mL of DMSO and 1 mg of Poly(I:C) in 1 mL of deionized water. Add both solutions simultaneously to 18 mL of water and stir at 1200 rpm. Dissolve 12 mg of DSPE-Hyd-PEG-Folate (PEG with a molecular weight of 2000) in 0.5 mL of DMSO and sonicate until completely dissolved. Then, add the solution to the stirring mixture and stir at 1200 rpm overnight.
[0070] The particle size and particle size distribution of the prepared pharmaceutical composition M@P were detected by dynamic light scattering. Figure 6 As shown, the average particle size of the pharmaceutical composition M@P was approximately 103.4 nm, and its zeta potential was approximately 18.85 ± 1.66 mV, indicating good nanoassembly capability. Furthermore, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that the pharmaceutical composition was uniformly spherical. The prepared pharmaceutical composition maintained good stability in water and PBS (pH 7.4), with no significant change in particle size over 7 days.
[0071] Example 4: Targeting evaluation of the pharmaceutical composition M@P
[0072] The cellular imaging and subcellular organelle distribution of the drug composition M@P were studied by colocalization analysis. MDA-MB-231 cells were cultured with the drug composition M@P (80 μg / mL) in a confocal culture dish for 4 hours, and then the culture medium was removed and the cells were washed with PBS. A commercial lysosomal green stain was then added and incubated for 10 minutes. Finally, the cells were washed 3 times with PBS and analyzed under a confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM). Figure 7 As shown, when the pharmaceutical composition M@P is co-stained with a lysosomal stain, the red fluorescence of the pharmaceutical composition M@P overlaps well with the green fluorescence of the lysosomal stain, indicating that the pharmaceutical composition M@P has the ability to target lysosomes; the Pearson correlation coefficient between the pharmaceutical composition M@P and the lysosomal stain is 0.84, further indicating that the pharmaceutical composition M@P has good lysosomal targeting ability.
[0073] Example 5: Evaluation of the phototoxicity of the pharmaceutical composition M@P on cancer cells
[0074] The killing effect of the drug composition M@P on MDA-MB-231 tumor cells was detected by the tetrazolium nitro blue colorimetric method (MTT method). -2 , 1 min) (M@P+L group) and dark (M@P group), MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with different concentrations (0, 5, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80 μg / mL) of the pharmaceutical composition M@P, and their cytotoxicity was determined ( Figure 8 Each experiment was repeated at least three times. Under dark conditions, even at concentrations as high as 80 μg / mL, the survival rate of both cancer cells and normal cells remained above 80%. However, after laser irradiation, cell viability decreased significantly with increasing concentrations of the M@P composition, with the mortality rate exceeding 80%, indicating significant phototoxicity of the M@P composition to MDA-MB-231 cells.
[0075] Example 6: Effect of the pharmaceutical composition M@P on cellular lysosomal function
[0076] MDA-MB-231 cells were inoculated into confocal culture dishes and cultured for 24 h. The cells were divided into PBS (control), M@P (dark group), M@P+L (light group, 520 nm, 0.5 W cm -2 The cells were treated with AO (2 μM) for 15 min and washed with PBS three times. The fluorescence emission of AO in the cells was observed using a confocal laser scanning microscope. Figure 9 As shown, the red fluorescence of lysosomes disappeared in the M@P+L group, confirming that the pharmaceutical composition M@P can cause lysosomal dysfunction under light.
[0077] Example 7: Effects of the pharmaceutical composition M@P on cell pyroptosis and ferroptosis
[0078] Confocal microscopy was used to observe the morphological changes of cells before and after treatment with the drug composition M@P (520 nm, 0.5 W cm -2 ).like Figure 10 As shown in the figure, when the cancer cells treated with the pharmaceutical composition M@P were irradiated with light for 3 minutes, the cells swelled, bubbles appeared on the cell membrane and gradually expanded, showing an obvious process of cell pyroptosis. The hallmark of ferroptosis is a decrease in intracellular GSH content and an increase in LPO content. GSH and MDA detection kits were used to detect the content of both in the cells to verify whether ferroptosis occurred. PBS, M@P (dark group) and M@P+L (light group, 520nm, 0.5Wcm -2 , 5min) to treat MDA-MB-231 cells, and then collect cells from different groups, freeze-thaw three times at -80℃ and 25℃, centrifuge at 8000rpm for 10min, and take the supernatant for determination. Figure 11 As shown, the GSH content of cells treated with the drug composition M@P decreased and the LPO content increased after illumination, verifying the occurrence of ferroptosis.
[0079] Example 8: Evaluation of the therapeutic effect of the pharmaceutical composition M@P
[0080] The 4T1 tumor-bearing mouse model (mouse breast cancer tumor) was established by intratumoral injection to evaluate the therapeutic effect of the pharmaceutical composition M@P. The pharmaceutical composition M@P solution (10 mg / kg; 10 mg per kg mouse) was injected intravenously into 4T1 tumor-bearing BALB / c mice. Figure 12 As shown in the figure, the fluorescence of the pharmaceutical composition M@P still accumulated at the tumor site 24 hours after injection, showing a good tumor targeting effect. To further demonstrate the effect of synergistic photoimmunotherapy on systemic anti-tumor immune response, a bilateral axillary 4T1 tumor model was established in mice to evaluate whether photoimmunotherapy can effectively induce specific systemic anti-tumor effects. The growth of primary tumors (treated) and distant tumors (untreated) was monitored to evaluate the therapeutic effect. Figure 13 As shown, 9 days after photoimmunotherapy, the primary tumor was effectively suppressed, and the growth of distant tumors was also inhibited. Therefore, the pharmaceutical composition M@P effectively inhibits distant tumors by triggering systemic immunity through photoimmunotherapy.
