Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biomedicine, and in particular to a polymer-membrane-penetrating peptide conjugate and a preparation method thereof, a nano adjuvant and a nano vaccine. Background Art
[0002] Vaccination is one of the most effective strategies for dealing with infectious diseases. Its principle is to produce a protective immune response in the body. The premise for the body to produce an immune response is that the immunogenicity of the vaccine is strong. Vaccines composed solely of antigens have weak immunogenicity and often cannot prevent infectious diseases. Therefore, adjuvants are needed to work together with antigens to enhance the immune response.
[0003] Vaccine adjuvants are a class of substances that can enhance or improve the immunogenicity of vaccines. They enhance the adaptive immunity of vaccines by activating innate immune cells. However, most current vaccine adjuvants mainly act to induce humoral immune responses and cannot induce cellular immune responses very well. Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a vaccine adjuvant that can effectively induce cellular immune responses and improve antigen-specific immune responses. Summary of the invention
[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a polymer-membrane-penetrating peptide conjugate and a preparation method thereof, a nanoadjuvant and a nanovaccine. The polymer-membrane-penetrating peptide conjugate provided by the present invention can induce the occurrence of cellular immune response in the body when used as a nanoadjuvant, enhance the ability of antigen cross-presentation, and significantly increase the proportion of specific T cells.

On day 2, the inguinal lymph nodes of mice were dissected. After mechanical disruption at 37°C, the samples were filtered through a 200-mesh nylon mesh filter to obtain a single-cell suspension, and the cells were counted using a cell counting plate. Then, they were incubated with anti-CD11c, anti-CD86, anti-CD40, anti-MHC-Ⅱ and anti-SIINFKEL-H2Kb antibodies at a concentration of 1:100 for 30 minutes at 4°C to analyze the antigen cross-presentation and activation effects of DCs in the lymph nodes. The samples acquired flow data on a flow cytometer (BD FACSCelesta) and analyzed using FlowJo software. The results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 4 shown.
[0135] On day 0 and day 14, mice were subcutaneously injected with PN7, P(N7-FL-20), P(N7-MPG), P(N7-CMA-2), P(N7-TAT), P(N7-Arg8), P(N7-Penetrain), P(N7-Melittin) group nanovaccine, OVA group nanovaccine and Control group solution. On day 21, mice were dissected to remove spleen. The cells were mechanically crushed at 37°C, and then the samples were filtered through a 200-mesh nylon mesh filter to obtain a single cell suspension, and the cells were counted by a cell counting plate. 2×10 cells were taken from each sample. 6 The cells were plated in a 48-well plate, and then the SIINFEKL peptide was added to the experimental system at a final concentration of 10 μg / mL. After 1 hour, the protein transport inhibitor Brefeldin A was added to a final concentration of 10 μg / mL. After 5 hours, the spleen cells were incubated with the dead and live dye Aqua, anti-CD3, and anti-CD8 for 30 minutes, and then the cells were stained with anti-IFN-γ for 30 minutes according to the intracellular factor staining method to analyze the antigen-specific immune response. In addition, 2×10 6 Cells were plated into 48-well plates, and then 2 mg / mL OVA peptide was added. After 1 hour, 10 μg / mL Brefeldin A, a protein transport inhibitor, was added. After 5 hours, the spleen cells were incubated with the dead and live dye Aqua, anti-CD3, and anti-CD4 for 30 minutes, and then the cells were stained with anti-IFN-γ for 30 minutes according to the intracellular factor staining method to analyze the antigen-specific immune response. The samples were acquired on a flow cytometer (BD FACS Celesta) and analyzed by FlowJo software. The results are shown in Figure 5 shown.
[0136] Figure 4 (a) is the activation ratio of DC cells in the draining lymph nodes of mice after incubation with anti-CD86. Figure 4 (b) is the activation ratio of DC cells in the draining lymph nodes of mice after incubation with anti-CD40. Figure 4 (c) is the activation ratio of DC cells in the draining lymph nodes of mice after incubation with anti-MHC-Ⅱ. Figure 4 (d) The ratio of antigen cross-presentation in DC cells in the draining lymph nodes of mice after incubation with anti-SIINFKEL-H2Kb. Figure 4 (a) ~ Figure 4 (c) shows that the DC cell activation ratio and SIINFKEL-H-2Kb after mice were injected with the nanovaccines described in Examples 2 to 8 and Comparative Example 1 +The antigen cross-presentation ratio was significantly increased compared with the Control group and the OVA group, and compared with the P (N7) group, the antigen cross-presentation ratios of the nanovaccines prepared with the polymer-penetrating peptide conjugate adjuvants in Examples 2 to 8 were increased to varying degrees.
[0137] Figure 5 (a) CD8 in mice after injection of different nanovaccines + Cellular heatmap of antigen-specific T cells, Figure 5 (b) CD8 in mice after injection of different nanovaccines + Antigen-specific T cell ratio chart, Figure 5 (c) CD4 in mice after injection of different nanovaccines + Graph showing the proportion of antigen-specific T cells. Figure 5 It can be seen that compared with the Control group and the OVA group, the proportion of antigen-specific T cells in mice injected with nanovaccines increased significantly, and compared with the P (N7) group, the proportion of antigen-specific T cells in the nanovaccines prepared with polymer-penetrating peptide conjugate adjuvants in Examples 2 to 8 increased significantly. However, nanovaccines prepared with polymer-penetrating peptide conjugate adjuvants such as P (N7-MPG) and P (N7-FL-20) did not significantly increase the proportion of antigen-specific T cells, which may be because some penetrating peptides can cause toxicity in the body, resulting in no increase in the final immune efficacy.
[0138] In summary, the polymer-membrane-penetrating peptide conjugate provided by the present invention can achieve the regulation of the type, quantity and ratio of hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups of the polypeptide in the structure. When used as a nanoadjuvant, it can improve the endosomal escape efficiency of antigen substances in vaccines, effectively enhance the cross-presentation of antigens, induce Th1 type cellular immune response, and increase the proportion of antigen-specific T cells.
