[0112] 3. Experimental results
[0113] 3.1 Preparation and characterization of film-coated magnetoelectric nanoparticles
[0114] This example prepared a specific targeting CD4 + Magnetoelectric nanoparticles that regulate T cell differentiation. Figure 1 The preparation and characterization of DC@CFO / BFO nanoparticles are shown. Figure 1 a is a representative SEM image of CFO / BFO nanoparticles. b is a representative TEM image of CFO / BFO nanoparticles. The surface morphology and core-shell structure of CFO / BFO nanocomposites were confirmed by SEM and TEM characterization. c is a high angle annular dark field (HAADF) and corresponding EDS element mapping image of CFO / BFO nanoparticles. d is the VSM result of CFO / BFO nanocomposites. e is the piezoelectric response amplitude curve and phase curve of CFO / BFO nanocomposites. f and g respectively show the free radicals ·OH and ·O generated by CFO / BFO nanocomposites under an applied magnetic field of 1.5mT. 2 - h is the electron paramagnetic resonance result of DC@CFO / BFO nanocomposite. i is the TEM image of DC@CFO / BFO nanoparticles. j is the immunoblot analysis of surface proteins of DC@CFO / BFO nanoparticles. k is the nano-flow cytometry analysis of CD11c and MHC class II expression levels on the surface of DC@CFO / BFO nanoparticles.
[0115] XRD spectroscopy verified the composition of CFO / BFO nanocomposites and confirmed that CoFe 2 O 4 and BiFeO 3 EDS reveals the uniform distribution of elements in STEM analysis ( Figure 1 c). In addition, VSM analysis demonstrated the excellent responsiveness of CFO / BFO nanocomposites to external magnetic fields, as evaluated by initial magnetization and magnetic saturation intensity ( Figure 1 d). PFM reveals detectable localized piezoelectric response hysteresis loops at random locations of the nanoparticles, characterizing their ferroelectric and magnetoelectric properties ( Figure 1 In addition, the oxides produced in magneto-electrocatalysis were detected using the EPR spectrum of DMPO, and signals were observed in the CFO / BFO nanocomposites under an external magnetic field ( Figure 1 f, g).
[0116] Due to the piezoelectric property of BFO, magnetoelectric CFO / BFO nanocomposites and BFO nanoparticles can generate ·OH and ·O in the presence of external ultrasound. 2 -The characteristic signal of the CFO core was detected, while the nanoparticles alone could not trigger the generation of ROS. These findings therefore elucidate the role of the magnetic field in inducing magnetostrictive strain in the CFO core and initiating potential polarization in the BFO shell, thereby confirming the effective magnetoelectric conversion.
[0117] To achieve CD4 + T cells target specificity, selecting bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDC) and binding to CD4 by controlling their major histocompatibility complex (MHC) II expression. + In brief, mouse bone marrow cells were first isolated and induced to differentiate into dendritic cells using GM-CSF and IL4. CD11c + MHC II + Fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) Figure 2 a) and collect the cell membranes. Then, membrane-coated magnetoelectric nanocomposites (DC@CFO / BFO) were prepared by repeated extrusion of CFO / BFO nanoparticles with freshly extracted BMDC membranes ( Figure 1 h). As shown in TEM, a transparent cell membrane layer of about 10 nm was observed on the surface of the membrane-coated CFO / BFO nanoparticles ( Figure 1 i). Dynamic light scattering experiments showed that the size of the DC@CFO / BFO composite material after coating was about 170nm. Then zeta potential measurements showed that the surface charge of the DC@CFO / BFO nanocomposite was less negative than that of CFO / BFO nanoparticles ( Figure 2 b). Subsequent Western blot and nano-flow cytometry analysis confirmed that the DC@CFO / BFO nanocomposites displayed surface markers of DCs, indicating that native BMDC membranes were successfully coated and retained onto the CFO / BFO surface ( Figure 1 In addition, by quantification of glycoproteins, it was found that the glycoprotein content on the DC@CFO / BFO nanocomposites was approximately 90% of that in the free BMDC membrane, indicating that the membrane had the correct orientation when coated onto the nanoparticles ( Figure 2 c).
[0118] In general, this example successfully prepared a dendritic cell membrane-coated magnetoelectric nanocomposite material that exhibited excellent magnetic field responsiveness and magnetostrictive piezoelectric properties.
[0119] 3.2 Biosafety assessment and biodistribution profile
[0120] Using CCK-8 assay, mouse naive CD4 +The cytotoxicity of DC@CFO / BFO nanocomposites with or without magnetic field stimulation was evaluated by T cells, and it was found that DC@CFO / BFO nanocomposites exhibited good biocompatibility at concentrations below 100 μg / mL.
[0121] Next, CD4 + T cell uptake of nanocomposites. FITC-labeled DC@CFO / BFO or CFO / BFO nanoparticles were incubated with naive mouse CD4 + T cells were incubated and the fluorescence signal was assessed by flow cytometry. Figure 3 As shown in a and b, DC membrane coating accelerated the T cell phagocytosis of the nanocomposite, which started at about 2 hours and reached a peak at 8 hours. After 12 hours of co-incubation of the nanocomposite and mouse spleen cells, most of the DC@CFO / BFO nanocomposite was engulfed by CD4 + T cell selection, while most CFO / BFO nanoparticles not coated by DC membranes were taken up by macrophages ( Figure 3 c). Therefore, these data suggest that encapsulation of DC membranes on CFO / BFO nanoparticles increases their targeting specificity and promotes CD4 + Its uptake by T cells.
[0122] To investigate the biodistribution characteristics of the nanocomposites in vivo, FITC-labeled DC@CFO / BFO nanoparticles were administered to C57BL / 6 mice by intravenous injection. In vivo imaging showed that the nanoparticles were enriched in the liver, kidneys, lungs, and spleen and remained in the body for 4 days after injection. In addition, the DC@CFO / BFO nanocomposites had negligible effects on the functional parameters of the liver and kidneys, and no significant abnormalities were observed in major organs by histological analysis. Therefore, the DC@CFO / BFO nanocomposites have excellent safety in vivo.
[0123] 3.3DC@CFO / BFO nanoparticles promote Th2 cell polarization and proliferation under external magnetic field
[0124] In order to further study the DC@CFO / BFO nanocomposites in CD4 + Role in T cell activation and differentiation, activation of CD4 with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies under various helper T cell polarization conditions + Flow cytometry analysis showed that the production of IL4 was enhanced, while the production of IFNγ was reduced in T cells treated with the external magnetic field (DC@CFO / BFO nanocomposite), indicating that the combination of magnetoelectric nanocomposite and magnetic field promoted Th2 differentiation and inhibited Th1 differentiation ( Figure 4In addition, T cells produced less IL17A in the DC@CFO / BFO group and the DC@CFO / BFO+M group, and the proportion of induced Treg cells (iTreg) in all groups did not differ significantly ( Figure 4 a, d and e).
[0125] To more precisely characterize the role of magnetoelectric nanocomposites in Th2 polarization, RNA sequencing was performed to analyze the transcriptome of T cells treated with magnetoelectric nanocomposites and magnetic fields under Th2 differentiation conditions. Principal component analysis (PCA) and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) analysis showed that T cells in the DC@CFO / BFO+M group were clearly distinguishable from T cells without magnetoelectric nanoparticles or magnetic field stimulation by their transcriptomes ( Figure 5 Subsequent GO enrichment showed that genes related to “DNA replication”, “T cell differentiation”, and “T cell proliferation” were overexpressed among the significantly upregulated genes in T cells under Th2 cell polarization conditions (vector group and DC@CFO / BFO group) relative to naive T cells, indicating that favorable T cell polarization was induced.
[0126] Subsequently, the overall gene expression changes of T cells treated by DC@CFO / BFO in the presence or absence of a magnetic field were analyzed, and 898 upregulated genes and 1703 downregulated genes were found in T cells after DC@CFO / BFO+M treatment. Compared with T cells in the DC@CFO / BFO group, the upregulated genes were enriched in "Type II immune response" and "Th2 cell differentiation", reflecting the stimulatory effects of DC@CFO / BFO treatment and magnetic field stimulation on Th2 cell polarization. In addition, DC@CFO / BFO nanocomposites promoted signaling pathways related to T cell proliferation when loaded with a magnetic field. Subsequent flow cytometric analysis also confirmed that under Th2 cell polarization conditions, CD4 + T cells responded to DC@CFO / BFO+M treatment and underwent more cell divisions, as detected by CFSE dilution assay and Ki-67 staining ( Figure 4 f, g). Taken together, these findings indicate that treatment with magnetoelectric nanocomposites combined with magnetic field stimulation promoted the induction of Th2 cell polarization and enhanced T cell proliferation in vitro.
[0127] 3.4 DC@CFO / BFO nanoparticles regulate the amino acid metabolism pathway of Th2 cells under magnetic field stimulation
[0128] Rapid T cell proliferation was always associated with optimal metabolic fitness, and genes related to cell metabolism were found to be enriched in T cells from the DC@CFO / BFO+M group. +The metabolic status of T cells was analyzed by non-targeted metabolomics analysis, which revealed extensive changes in T cell metabolic processes induced by DC@CFO / BFO+M ( Figure 6 Differential metabolite analysis showed that the combination of DC@CFO / BFO nanoparticles and magnetic field stimulation enhanced cellular metabolism, resulting in 398 upregulated metabolites and 61 downregulated metabolites ( Figure 6 b). It is noteworthy that amino acid metabolism pathways such as “tyrosine metabolism” and “glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism” act as central hubs in the T cell metabolic network. Representative differential metabolites such as Figure 6 Taken together, these findings suggest that the synergistic effects of magnetoelectric nanocomposite treatment and magnetic field stimulation enhance CD4 + Metabolic adaptability of T cells characterized by enhanced amino acid metabolism.
[0129] 3.5DC@CFO / BFO nanoparticles target ribosomes and enhance protein synthesis in Th2 cells
[0130] CD4 + Transcriptome profiling of T cells revealed enrichment of the “cytoplasmic translation” and “cytoplasmic ribosome” pathways after treatment with DC@CFO / BFO nanocomposites and magnetic field stimulation. The subcellular localization of CFO / BFO was subsequently examined by confocal microscopy. In addition to lysosomal localization, FITC-labeled CFO / BFO also exhibited colocalization with ribosomal components such as RPL7 and RPS3 ( Figure 7 a). The ribosome is a complex molecular machine responsible for protein synthesis in all living cells. It was observed that the DC@CFO / BFO nanocomposite under an external magnetic field resulted in accelerated protein synthesis ( Figure 7 In addition, the multimer profile revealed an increase in multimers in the DC@CFO / BFO+M group, indicating an enhanced translation rate ( Figure 7 d, e).
[0131] To characterize the potential mechanisms of translational regulation mediated by magnetoelectric nanocomposites, quantitative proteomics studies were performed on T cells treated with DC@CFO / BFO nanocomposites and stimulated by an external magnetic field. PCA demonstrated clear differences in the protein expression profiles of the DC@CFO / BFO+M group compared with the other two groups ( Figure 8 Cluster analysis using heatmap visualization indicated that DC@CFO / BFO+M treatment provided heterogeneity with significant changes in initiating protein expression ( Figure 8b). Analysis of differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) revealed 573 upregulated proteins and 306 downregulated proteins in T cells treated with DC@CFO / BFO nanocomposites and subjected to magnetic field stimulation ( Figure 7 f). Further GO enrichment analysis showed that pathways related to “oxidative phosphorylation”, “IL4 production”, and “translation” were activated in the DC@CFO / BFO+M group, which is consistent with the finding that DC@CFO / BFO nanoparticles plus magnetic field promote Th2 cell polarization and optimize T cell metabolic adaptability. Considering the important role of protein physicochemical properties in protein synthesis rate, the isoelectric point (pI) and hydrophilicity of up-regulated proteins, down-regulated proteins, and proteins whose expression was not affected were analyzed separately. Figure 7 As shown in Figure 5, higher values of pI were observed for upregulated proteins compared to downregulated or unaffected proteins after treatment with DC@CFO / BFO nanoparticles and magnetic field stimulation. Electrostatic interactions at the ribosome exit tunnel are associated with nascent protein ejection time, and proteins with positively charged residues at the C-terminus tend to eject more slowly. Therefore, DC@CFO / BFO nanocomposites can directly target cytoplasmic ribosomes and modulate electrostatic interactions at the peptide exit tunnel under magnetic field stimulation, thereby accelerating protein synthesis in Th2 cells.
[0132] 3.6TAF9B mediates Th2 cell regulation of DC@CFO / BFO nanoparticles
[0133] To identify key transcription factors in DC@CFO / BFO+M treatment, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was performed on the transcriptome data ( Fig. 9 By analyzing the expression of TAF9B in various immune cells from the Human Protein Atlas database, it was found that TAF9B was only expressed in T cell subsets ( Fig.10 a). Quantitative proteomics showed that TAF9B was upregulated after treatment with DC@CFO / BFO nanoparticles plus an external magnetic field ( Fig.10 b). Fractions of T cell lysates from the sucrose gradient during multimer profiling were collected and the mRNA level of TAF9B was examined by quantitative PCR. The results showed that the translationally active mRNA of TAF9B (in multimers) was significantly increased after treatment with DC@CFO / BFO composites and loading with a magnetic field ( Fig. 9 b).
[0134] To further verify that DC@CFO / BFO+M treatment modulates electrostatic interactions in the ribosomal exit tunnel, basic amino acids (positively charged amino acids, including arginine and lysine) were replaced with acidic amino acids (aspartic acid) at the C-terminus. Combined with quantitative PCR, multimer mapping showed that DC@CFO / BFO+M treatment showed little effect on the translation rate of the C-terminal mutant of TAF9B ( Fig. 9 c), indicating that the stimulatory effect of the magnetoelectric nanocomposite in regulating protein synthesis depends at least in part on electrostatic interactions at the ribosomal peptide exit tunnel.
[0135] To evaluate the role of TAF9B in T cell polarization and proliferation, we induced CD4 + T cell differentiation Fig.10 c). After treatment with DC@CFO / BFO composites and magnetic field stimulation, knockout of TAF9B significantly inhibited the Th2 polarization induced by DC@CFO / BFO+M ( Fig. 9 d), while the proportion of Th1 cells and Th17 cells increased after TAF9B knockout ( Fig. 9 E and Fig.10 d), the proportion of iTregs had no significant difference ( Fig.10 In addition, Th2 cell proliferation was significantly restricted with the downregulation of TAF9B, as shown by Ki-67 staining ( Fig. 9 f). Therefore, these data demonstrate that TAF9B is an essential transcriptional regulator for DC@CFO / BFO nanoparticle-mediated Th2 cell regulation.
[0136] 4. Discussion
[0137] The study in this example shows that the DC membrane-coated magnetoelectric nanocomposite can regulate Th1 / Th2 cells and promote Th2 cell proliferation, thereby being used to improve T cell-mediated autoimmune responses and maintain host immune homeostasis. +T cells undergo differentiation into various lineages of T helper cells, in which transcription factors play a central role in determining the lineage within a specific cytokine environment. Transcription factor IID (TFIID) components, called TAFs, are essential for pre-initiation complex assembly and RNA polymerase II (Pol II)-mediated transcription initiation. Unlike previously reported TAF9B as a key regulator of apoptosis-related gene expression and control of motor neuron differentiation, the multi-omics analysis of this embodiment determined that TAF9B is a key protein regulated by DC@CFO / BFO nanoparticles and magnetic field stimulation, and is closely related to ribosome interaction and protein structure. Unlike other genes regulated by these stimuli, TAF9B acts as a transcription factor. In order to verify this conclusion, by depleting endogenous TAF9B in T cells, the result was a significant inhibition of Th2 cell polarization. Therefore, TAF9B activation is crucial as the main mechanism of Th2 cell regulation. These findings enhance the understanding of the molecular mechanisms regulating Th2 cell differentiation and highlight the therapeutic potential of targeting TAF9B.
[0138] T cells undergo a major shift in protein synthesis activity during activation, proliferation, and differentiation. Precise regulation of protein synthesis shapes the functional capacity of T cell immune responses. There is evidence that the translation of transcripts encoding ribosomal proteins is regulated during effector T cell differentiation, and translation inhibition is more pronounced in terminal effector cells. The magnetoelectric nanocomposite in this embodiment exhibits colocalization with ribosomal components and optimized amino acid metabolic adaptability. By combining polymer spectra and proteome analysis and the kinetics of protein synthesis, it is revealed that the magnetoelectric nanocomposite regulates the electrostatic interactions of ribosomes and stimulates translation when a magnetic field is applied, thereby promoting Th2 cell polarization and proliferation.
