Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and in particular to a pre-assembly solution of a conductive bionic vesicle and a method for preparing the conductive bionic vesicle. Background Art
[0002] Conductive polymers (CPs) can provide ideal biointerface connections and have attracted widespread attention in biomedical applications. The dual conduction of electrons and ions is closely related to the transmission mode of living systems, thereby reducing the local electrochemical impedance between biomaterials and living cells. CPs exhibit high stability, stimulus-responsive properties, good biocompatibility, etc. under physiological environmental conditions, can promote peripheral nerve regeneration, and are conductive under physiological conditions. In addition, CPs can be synthesized as independent biomaterials for local delivery of electric fields.
[0003] Biomimetic vesicles are artificial vesicles designed to mimic the structure and function of biological cell membranes. Conductive biomimetic vesicles are biomimetic vesicles with conductive characteristics. These vesicles have the ability to transmit electrons, enabling them to respond to stimuli such as electric fields, currents or electromagnetic waves.
[0004] It is understood that although CP can be directly manufactured in living neural tissues through electrochemical polymerization, it is usually limited by specific tissue structures. Moreover, it is still a huge challenge to adjust the microstructure of the material at the subcellular scale to form conductive biomimetic vesicles between the conductive substrate and cells to provide a seamless biological interface.

[0049] In order to better explain the present invention and facilitate understanding, the present invention is described in detail below through specific implementation modes in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0050] In living animals, areas of tissue damage are often accompanied by oxidative stress. Increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) leads to tissue degeneration and remodeling. In this process, microvesicles (MVs) produced by cells in the tissue microenvironment are closely related to ROS. This relationship occurs because MVs can produce ROS or scavenge the inflammatory response caused by ROS. MVs can carry different antioxidant enzymes (such as catalase (CAT)) to scavenge ROS. CAT is not abundant under normal conditions, but it is overexpressed in damaged areas and plays an important role in tolerance to oxidative stress. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) can be trapped at the active site of CAT, where it oxidizes heme iron to produce π-cationic porphyrin radicals. π-cationic porphyrin radicals can initiate the polymerization reaction of monomers. Therefore, the microenvironment of the damaged area of the animal body combined with chemical factors can provide the synthesis conditions for oxidative polymerization to produce conductive bionic vesicles. This provides favorable conditions for the in situ polymerization to generate conductive bionic vesicles, so that the grown conductive bionic vesicles can be seamlessly fitted with nerve repair and engineering vascular modification.
[0051] Therefore, if the in situ generation of conductive biomimetic vesicles is to be triggered in vivo, the pre-assembly solution of conductive biomimetic vesicles should contain a certain amount of oxidants and H + , the oxidant is, for example, H2O2, so that after the pre-assembled solution contacts the CAT enzyme (glucose oxidase or HRP) in the damaged area in vivo, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) can be trapped at the active site of CAT, oxidizing the heme iron at this site to generate π-cationic porphyrin free radicals, and using the cation free radicals to initiate the polymerization reaction of the monomers, so that the conductive monomers in the pre-assembled solution are polymerized on the liposomes (phospholipid-cholesterol pre-assembled liposomes), and the conductive bionic vesicles are synthesized in situ. If the conductive bionic vesicles are to be synthesized in vitro, a certain amount of CAT (glucose oxidase or HRP) can be added to the pre-assembled solution of the conductive bionic vesicles, and a certain amount of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) can be added in the in vitro synthesis environment to generate cation free radicals to trigger the oxidative polymerization reaction to synthesize the conductive bionic vesicles; or a certain amount of H2O2 can be added to the pre-assembled solution, and a certain amount of CAT can be artificially added in the in vitro synthesis environment to trigger the oxidative polymerization reaction to synthesize the conductive bionic vesicles.
[0052] To this end, the present invention provides a pre-assembled solution of a conductive biomimetic vesicle, which includes: phospholipids, cholesterol, a conductive monomer, a dopant and a first polymerization trigger; the first polymerization trigger is a combination of hydrogen ions and an oxidant or a combination of hydrogen ions and a biological enzyme; or the first polymerization trigger is an oxidant or a biological enzyme; the conductive monomer is selected from at least one of pyrrole, pyrrole-3-carboxylic acid, 2,2'-dipyrrole, pyrrole-3-sulfonic acid, aniline, p-aminodiphenylamine, thiophene, 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene, 3,4-ethyldioxypyrrole, pyrrolethiophene copolymer and pyrrole-3,4-ethyldioxythiophene, or a copolymer composed of any two or more of the aforementioned monomers; the dopant is at least one of phytic acid, polystyrene sulfonic acid (PSS), toluenesulfonic acid and p-toluenesulfonic acid; the biological enzyme in the first polymerization trigger is at least one of catalase CAT, glucose oxidase and horseradish peroxidase HRP; the oxidant in the first polymerization trigger is at least one of hydrogen peroxide, divalent iron and trivalent iron. The pre-assembly solution is formed by using water as a dispersing solvent.
[0053] Among them, dopants can improve some properties of polymers, such as: improving conductivity (can make biopolymers better biosensors, biobatteries or biocompatible electronic component materials), enhancing the mechanical strength and toughness of polymers (making them more durable and suitable for biomedical applications that need to withstand certain mechanical stresses, such as tissue engineering scaffolds or wearable medical devices), improving biocompatibility and degradability (reducing immune responses or promoting biodegradation of materials), improving polymer performance (such as higher water solubility, better optical transparency or specific hydrophilic / hydrophobic properties), promoting cell adhesion (doping with PSS can improve the surface properties of biopolymers, making them more conducive to cell adhesion, proliferation and differentiation, thereby promoting tissue regeneration), etc.

[0068] The following is a description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention.
[0069] Example 1
[0070] This example investigates the biocompatibility of pyrrole monomer (Py) and pyrrole carboxylic acid (pyrrole-3-carboxylic acid) monomer (PyCA), and the investigation method is as follows: primary DRG neuron cells were cultured for 5 days and then incubated with Py or PyCA monomer (0.5mM to 10mM, PBS solution) for 24h. After washing three times with PBS solution (pH 7.4), the cells were stained with a Live / Dead staining kit and observed under a fluorescence microscope.
[0071] The experimental results are as follows Figure 1As shown, no decrease in cell viability was observed with Py or PyCA at Py or PyCA monomer concentrations up to 1 mM (e.g. Figure 1 A, B), indicating that at low concentrations (1 mM), Py or PyCA were non-toxic to DRG neuronal cells; when the PyCA monomer concentration was as high as 5 mM, only a slight reduction in cell viability was observed, and at high concentrations (2-5 mM), PyCA showed significantly better biocompatibility than Py (see Figure 1 C, D).
[0072] Example 2
[0073] In this embodiment, conductive bionic vesicles are assembled in vitro, and the method is as follows:
[0074] (1) Weigh 9 mg of phospholipid DPPC and 2 mg of cholesterol and dissolve them in 2 mL of chloroform and 2 mL of methanol solution. Dissolve them completely by ultrasonication, remove the solvent by rotary evaporation, and dry them in a vacuum oven at 25°C overnight to remove the remaining solvent until they are completely dry, so that the phospholipid and cholesterol are preassembled to obtain preassembled liposomes.
[0075] (2) Pyrrole monomer (Py) and pyrrole carboxylic acid (pyrrole-3-carboxylic acid) monomer (PyCA) were dissolved in water to obtain a conductive monomer solution with a concentration of 50 mM. Phytic acid was dissolved in water to obtain a phytic acid solution with a concentration of 100 mM. CAT enzyme was dissolved in water to obtain a CAT enzyme solution with a concentration of 0.2 mg / mL.
[0076] (3) Add the conductive monomer solution, phytic acid solution, and CAT enzyme solution to the preassembled liposomes in step (1) at a volume ratio of 1:1:2 to make the final solution volume reach 5 mL.
[0077] (4) Hydrate in an aqueous solution at 41°C for 1 h, and repeatedly extrude and screen using a 3 μm PC membrane at 41°C to form a pre-assembled solution.
[0078] (5) Add 100 mM hydrogen peroxide solution to the pre-assembly solution, react for 24 h, and observe the morphology under an electron microscope. Figure 2 The two types of conductive biomimetic vesicles shown are marked as the Control group without adding any polymerized monomers; according to the different conductive monomers, the conductive biomimetic vesicles are marked as PPy CMV and PPyCA CMV.
[0079] Example 3
[0080] The DRG neuronal cells were cultured with the conductive bionic vesicles prepared in Example 2, with a neuronal cell concentration of 1 mM and a conductive bionic vesicle concentration of 1 mM, and cultured in a 37°C constant temperature incubator (containing 5% CO2) for 24 hours. During the experiment, the cultured neuronal cells without any conductive vesicles were recorded as the Control group, and the experimental group was cultured by adding PPy CMV and PPyCA CMV when the cultured neuronal cells adhered to the wall.
[0081] The cell growth was observed under bright field fluorescence microscope. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, PPy CMV and PPyCA CMV can promote the growth of axons compared with the control group. Figure 3 It can be seen that culturing DRG neurons with PPy CMV and PPyCA CMV can promote the growth of axons, while the growth of axons in DRG neurons without conductive vesicles is relatively slow. Compared with PPy CMV, culturing with PPyCA CMV has a better effect on promoting the growth of axons.

The reaction temperature was 37°C, and the mixture was slowly rinsed twice with PBS. The neurovascular adventitia collagen scaffold was taken out, and the growth of conductive vesicles was observed under an electron microscope. During the experiment, the vascular scaffold cultured without any conductive vesicles was set as the Control group, and the experimental group was the vascular scaffold cultured with the conductive vesicles PPyCMV and PPyCA CMV.
[0084] Observation results such as Figure 4 As shown, compared with the control group, the surface of the neurovascular adventitia collagen scaffold cultured with PPy CMV and PPyCA CMV became rougher, indicating that loosely structured collagen fibers were formed on the neurovascular adventitia collagen scaffold, achieving the effect of neurovascular adventitia reconstruction. Among them, compared with PPy CMV, PPyCA CMV had a more obvious effect on the reconstruction of the neurovascular adventitia.
[0085] Example 5
[0086] The pre-assembly solution was prepared according to the method of Example 2, and the "9 mg phospholipid DPPC" in step (1) of Example 2 was replaced with an equal mass of DOPE-PEG-SH phospholipid to obtain a pre-assembly solution. A homemade electrode, a gold electrode with a width and spacing of 100 μm on the substrate, was added to the pre-assembly solution, and a 100 mM H2O2 solution was added, and the polymerization reaction was carried out at room temperature for 72 hours. The excess solution not coupled to the gold electrode was washed off with distilled water, and the monitoring electrode with a soft electrode interface was obtained after drying.
[0087] SD rats were used to establish the sciatic nerve injury model. The model establishment method was as follows: 3 adult male SD rats (weight distribution ranged from 200-230g) were anesthetized, the sciatic nerve of the left leg was exposed, and fine forceps were used to squeeze for 30s to cause sciatic nerve injury. ROS was detected at the sciatic nerve injury site, and the successful establishment of the sciatic nerve injury model could be confirmed by detecting the ROS level.
[0088] The pre-assembled solution was injected into the injured area of the sciatic nerve of the model rat using a syringe. 2 The pre-assembled solution was injected into the injured part of the sciatic nerve of the model rat by an injection needle, and the conductive polymer was polymerized in situ. Then, the sample was cut into appropriate sizes and placed between the prepared monitoring electrodes with soft electrode interface. Figure 5 The monitoring platform was built in the manner shown in the figure. The experimental results showed that the electrochemical signals of the tissue could indeed be monitored through the monitoring electrode with a soft electrode interface, which indicated that the soft electrode interface was conductive, and the pre-assembled solution was injected into the sciatic nerve injury site of the model rat, and conductive vesicles could be synthesized in situ under the induction of the injury environment.
