Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of nanotechnology and relates to a preparation method of composite nanoparticles loaded with AAP and manganese ions and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common cancers in the world and the most common primary liver cancer. It is also the sixth most common cancer and the third most deadly cancer in the world. Common risk factors include viral hepatitis, alcoholism and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Liver cancer has a high incidence and strong metastasis, and patients often have a poor prognosis. Only 5%-15% of patients with early liver cancer can be treated by surgical resection, while in the middle and late stages, the main treatment is transcatheter arterial chemoembolization and chemotherapy drugs such as sorafenib. However, long-term use of chemotherapy drugs has limited effects and is prone to drug resistance and toxicity. Therefore, it is particularly urgent and important to carry out active and effective research on the prevention and treatment of liver cancer and find new methods to fight liver cancer.
[0003] In recent years, nanotechnology has made significant progress in the field of tumor treatment, especially inorganic nanocarriers with mesoporous structures have become a research hotspot. Hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSNs) combine the advantages of nano-mesoporous materials and larger hollow cavities, connected to the outside world through mesopores. These nanoparticles can accumulate at the tumor site through the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect, achieving efficient nano-drug loading and release. In addition, due to its higher drug loading capacity, specific surface area, adjustable pore size and biocompatibility, it improves the bioavailability of drugs and reduces toxicity to normal tissues.
[0004] Therefore, compared with normal cells, tumor tissues are more sensitive to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Vitamin C (VitC), also known as L-ascorbic acid, is one of the essential nutrients for the human body and is involved in a variety of biochemical reactions. Studies have found that VitC exerts its anti-tumor effect by producing high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in tumor cells. H2O2 destroys lipids, proteins, and DNA, leading to tumor cell death. It also reacts with glutathione, consumes NADPH, disrupts glycolysis in tumor cells, and causes energy failure.
[0005] Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) involves the use of various transition metal ions to catalyze endogenous H2O2 to generate highly cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals (·OH) through Fenton or Fenton-like reactions to eliminate tumor cells. It has attracted much attention due to its high efficacy in the treatment of deep tissue hypoxia tumors and less damage to normal tissues. Tumor cells have relatively high oxidative stress levels due to high metabolic rates, mitochondrial defects and other problems. However, VitC is easily ineffective in vivo, reducing its application value in anti-tumor effects.
[0006] Therefore, it is particularly urgent and important to actively carry out effective research on liver cancer prevention and treatment and to find new methods to fight liver cancer.

After reaching the tumor site, the nanoparticles are catalyzed and hydrolyzed by ALP, which is highly expressed in liver cancer cells, and release AAP. At the tumor site, AAP is reduced to generate VitC, which induces tumor cells to produce high concentrations of H2O2, thereby killing tumor cells.

[0053] The present invention is based on constructing HMSN as a carrier, loaded with AAP and manganese ions (Mn 2+ ) of AAP@HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ Nanoparticles. After reaching the tumor site, the nanoparticles are catalyzed and hydrolyzed by ALP, which is highly expressed in liver cancer cells, to release AAP. In the tumor site, AAP is reduced to generate VitC, which induces tumor cells to produce high concentrations of H2O2, thereby killing tumor cells. High concentrations of H2O2 are transported to the tumor site by Mn 2+ Catalyzed by Fenton-like reaction, it produces highly toxic ·OH, which induces cell apoptosis and ultimately achieves the expected anti-tumor effect.
[0054] The morphology of the samples was determined using a S-4800 field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). The crystal structure of the samples was detected by X-ray powder diffraction (Bruker) with Cu Kα radiation (λ=0.154nm). Transmission electron microscope (TEM) micrographs of the samples were obtained using a FEI Tecnai G2 S-Twin and a 200kV field emission gun. The UV-visible absorption spectra were measured on a U-3100 spectrophotometer (Hitachi). Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra were measured using a Vertex Perkin-Elmer 580BIR spectrophotometer (Bruker) using KBr particle technology. An inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) was installed on an iCAP 6300 from Thermo scientific. The DLS and zeta potential of the samples in water were measured on a Malvern instrument Zetasizer Nano. The nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms were measured at 77 K using a Micromeritics ASAPTristar II 3020 system.
[0055] HMSN was synthesized by high temperature etching method, and SEM and TEM showed a spherical structure with a diameter of about 300nm ( Figure 2 A, B). By comparing the etching time of HMSN at different times of 0.5h and 2h, it is confirmed that with the increase of etching time, the mesoporous structure of HMSN becomes more prominent ( Figure 3 In addition, the infrared spectrum of HMSN is at 1077 cm -1 A strong absorption peak appears, which comes from the asymmetric stretching vibration of Si-O-Si. The characteristic absorption peak at 960cm-1 belongs to the bending vibration absorption characteristic peak of Si-OH on the HMSN surface. -1 The broad absorption peak at 1634 cm -1 The weaker absorption peaks at are related to the asymmetric stretching vibration of -OH and the bending vibration of water molecules in the mesopores of HMSN. Figure 2 F). Figure 2 G and Table 1, the N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms and the corresponding pore size distribution of HMSN were determined. The specific surface area of HMSN is 48.376 m 2 g -1 , the pore size is 18.745nm.

AAP@HMSN was wrapped with chitosan to obtain AAP@HMSN-CS nanocomposite. AAP was characterized by UV-visible absorption spectroscopy and it was found that the AAP scanning spectrum showed a special absorption peak at 262nm (Figure 4A). Figure 4B tested that the UV-visible absorption spectra of AAP and AAP@HMSN-CS had the same ultraviolet absorption peak at 262nm, proving that AAP was successfully loaded. Mn was loaded in AAP@HMSN-CS nanocomposite. 2+ , construct AAP@HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ Nanocomposites, whose morphology and size have little change ( Figure 2 C, D), elemental mapping images show that all elements (Si, O, Mg, Mn, P, Cl, and N) are uniformly distributed, revealing the coexistence of different elements in the MnDIG@PEG nanocomposite, proving that AAP and Mn are successfully loaded to form AAP@HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ ( Figure 2 E). Same AAP@HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ Infrared spectroscopy also confirmed the material AAP@HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ ( Figure 2 In addition, the Zeta potential change of the obtained sample also proves that AAP@HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ Successful preparation of nanocomposites. AAP@HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ The final Zeta potential and average kinetic particle size were 50.57±2.78mV( Figure 2 I) and 306nm( Figure 5 ).
[0057] AAP@HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ The most important features of the nanocomposites are cargo delivery and TME-responsive biodegradability, which are beneficial for improving the chemical kinetics of AAP self-amplification. The released AAP, Mn 2+ The loading efficiency of AAP was 132.59±1.5μg / mg according to the standard curve of AAP. When the ratio of HMSN:AAP was 1:5, the encapsulation efficiency of AAP@HMSN-CS was the highest, which was 13.26±0.15% ( Figure 6 A, B).

All samples were measured 3 times and the results were averaged. 2+ The dispersion was stored in a 50 mL centrifuge tube at 4 °C.

[0074] (10) Results Since the biocompatibility of nanocomplexes is an important requirement in tumor therapy, the CCK8 method was used to evaluate the cytotoxicity of nanocomplexes against human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and human hepatoma cell (HepG2) cells. Fig. 9 As shown in the figure, even when the concentration of HMSN was 4 mg / mL, the activity of HUVEC and HepG2 cells was always high, indicating that the HMSN nanocarrier has good biocompatibility. In addition, the cytotoxicity of ALP to HUVEC and HepG2 cells was also low ( Fig.10 ).like Figure 8 As shown in A, AAP@HMSN-CS-Mn 2+As the concentration of nanoparticles increases, the cytotoxicity to HepG2 cells increases. 2+ When the nanoparticles interact with HepG2 cells expressing or adding ALP, ALP hydrolyzes AAP to generate vitC, thereby amplifying the CDT effect. Moreover, compared with 5U of ALP, 1U of ALP can effectively hydrolyze AAP to generate vitC. In addition, compared with HepG2 cells, AAP@HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ The cytotoxicity to HUVEC cells was reduced, indicating that it has certain biocompatibility ( Figure 8 B). In order to further verify the ability of AAP to be hydrolyzed, HepG2 cells were treated with nanomaterials in groups, and it was found that the nanomaterials loaded with AAP induced the most significant results in HepG2 cells consuming ALP ( Figure 8 C). Subsequently, fluorescence imaging of 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescein generated by oxidation of 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescein diacetate by ROS was used to accurately evaluate the generation of ·OH. 2+ Compared with the control group, AAP@HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ and AAP@HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ +ALP positive control group showed strong green fluorescence, among which AAP@HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ The green fluorescence of the +ALP group was the strongest, and the fluorescence was attributed to the Mn 2+ In addition, AAP@HMSN-CS+ALP, HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ +ALP observed weak green fluorescence, which is because the addition of ALP further enhanced the green fluorescence, revealing the effect of self-amplification of ROS by nanomaterials ( Figure 8 D). Fig.11 yes Figure 8 D. The decline of mitochondrial membrane potential is a landmark event in the early stage of apoptosis. JC-1 is a fluorescent probe used to detect mitochondrial membrane potential. When the mitochondrial membrane potential is high, JC-1 produces red fluorescence; when the mitochondrial membrane potential is low, JC-1 produces green fluorescence. Figure 8 E,AAP@HMSN-CS,HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ 、AAP@HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ The positive control group could produce green fluorescence, and the addition of ALP further enhanced the green fluorescence, confirming that the mitochondrial membrane potential JC-1 of HepG2 cells decreased, thereby inducing early apoptosis of HepG2 cells. Fig.12 yes Figure 8E. In addition, Calcein-AM / PI dual fluorescence staining was used to verify the death of HepG2 cells after treatment in each experimental group. After staining, live cells produced green fluorescence, while dead cells produced red fluorescence. Figure 8 As shown in F, compared with PBS, ALP, AAP@HMSN-CS, HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ ,AAP@HMSN-CS+ALP, HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ +ALP and other control groups, AAP@HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ and AAP@HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ +ALP positive control group showed stronger red fluorescence and weaker green fluorescence, which indicated that AAP@HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ and AAP@HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ The +ALP positive control group induced more cell death than the other groups and had significant cytotoxicity. Fig.13 yes Figure 8 F. We have analyzed the statistical diagram of AAP@HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ The effects of β-catenin on HepG2 cells were studied in depth. We detected the protein expression levels of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 and apoptotic proteins Caspase-3, Caspase-8, and Bax. Figure 8 G The results showed that compared with the control group, AAP@HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ and AAP@HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ +ALP positive control group down-regulated the expression of Bcl-2 and up-regulated the expression of Caspase-3, Caspase-8 and Bax. This indicates that AAP@HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ It promoted the apoptosis of HepG2 cells, leading to cell death. 2+ To determine whether there are other anti-tumor pathways, the researchers prepared cell slides and performed immunofluorescence staining of pyroptosis markers Gasdermin D, Caspase-1, and Caspase-4 on HepG2 cells treated with different methods. Figure 8 The results showed that AAP@HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ and AAP@HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ HepG2 cells treated with +ALP positive control group showed strong green fluorescence. This confirmed the high expression of Gasdermin D, Caspase-1, and Caspase-4. This indicates that compared with the control group, AAP@HMSN-CS-Mn 2+and AAP@HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ The +ALP positive control group had a stronger effect of inducing cell pyroptosis on HepG2 cells. Fig.14 is a statistical graph of the expression of pyroptosis markers. According to the above results, the nanocomplex constructed in vitro due to AAP@HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ The self-amplified therapeutic effect showed superior anti-tumor effect.

After natural cooling, place the slides in PBS (PH7.4) and shake on a decolorizing shaker to wash 3 times, 5 minutes each time. (The repair solution and repair strength are determined according to the tissue).
[0083] 3. Circle serum blocking: After the slices are slightly dried, use a histochemical pen to draw circles around the tissue (to prevent the antibody from flowing away), dry the PBS, add 5% BSA, and block for 30 minutes. (If the primary antibody is from goat, use 10% donkey serum to block, and if the primary antibody is from other sources, use 5% BSA to block).

Grind the tissue into powder with liquid nitrogen. Add lysis buffer at a ratio of 150-250ul lysis buffer per 20mg tissue and lyse for 30min. Centrifuge the lysed sample at 10000-14000g for 3-5 minutes, take the supernatant, and then proceed to the subsequent protein concentration determination.

[0150] The in vivo antitumor effect was measured in a xenograft HepG2 tumor model. Xenograft HepG2 tumors were established in the right axilla of BALB / c mice to investigate the antitumor effects of AAP@HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ All tumor-bearing mice were randomly divided into five groups (n=6): (1) control group; (2) HMSN group; (3) AAP@HMSN-CS group; (4) HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ Group; (5) AAP@HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ Group. Fig.15 As shown in A, after seven intratumoral injections of different nanocomplexes, the corresponding tumor volume and weight were measured during the experimental period and then anatomically analyzed. During the entire observation period, the extracted tumor ( Fig.15 B) No significant differences were observed in body weight and major organ indices of mice treated with various nanocomposites ( Fig.15 C. Fig.16 ). Compared with the control group, AAP@HMSN-CS and HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ The group showed a certain tumor growth inhibition rate. In contrast, AAP@HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ The most significant tumor growth inhibition was observed in the group with 44 cases, indicating that self-amplified chemokine therapy can lead to effective tumor therapy ( Fig.15 D). In addition, tumor weight and tumor inhibition rate ( Fig.15 The results of E\F) further confirmed this. Fig.15 G, The expression of ALP in tumor tissue was verified and it was found that AAP@HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ The most significant results were obtained in the treatment of tumor models with ALP depletion. In addition, frozen sections of tumors were stained with DHE-labeled ROS dye, and paraffin sections of tumors were stained with H&E, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP tail labeling (TUNEL), and Ki67 to show the expression of AAP@HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ The anti-tumor effect of the nanocomposite was shown in Figure 2. 2+ The red fluorescence is the strongest, indicating that ROS positive cells have strong expression, which corresponds to the in vitro treatment effect. 2+ It caused severe tumor damage, as shown by obvious tissue destruction in H&E staining results, a large number of green dots in TUNEL images, and decreased Ki67 expression ( Fig.15H). Interestingly, apoptosis and pyroptosis of tumor tissues were investigated. We detected the expression levels of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 and apoptotic proteins Caspase-3, Caspase-8, and Bax in tumor tissues and found that AAP@HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ The AAP@HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ The expression of pyroptosis markers, such as Gasdermin D, Caspase-1, and Caspase-4, was induced, which, together with apoptosis, provided direct evidence to explain the significant inhibition of tumor growth. Fig.15 I), and immunofluorescence experiments also verified the same results ( Figure 17-23 ). In addition, the detection of cell pyroptosis factors IL-18 and IL-1β in mouse serum also indirectly verified cell pyroptosis ( Fig.24 ). In addition, H&E images of major organs under different treatments after 14 days showed that AAP@HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ Negligible adverse effects on normal tissues ( Fig.25 In addition, the blood routine test of nude mice ( Fig.26 ) Serum biochemistry ( Fig. 27 ) and in vitro hemolysis assay ( Fig.28 ) showed no significant difference between the control group and AAP@HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ Abnormal performance between groups.
[0151] Therefore, the tumor therapeutic drug AAP@HMSN-CS-Mn 2+ It can promote apoptosis and pyroptosis of tumor cells by regulating the expression level of apoptotic proteins, thereby inhibiting tumor growth, and shows good safety and biocompatibility in animal experiments.
