Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of tumor treatment, and in particular to a bionic nano radiotherapy sensitizer and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Clinically, X-ray radiotherapy is one of the important means of treating breast cancer. It can be used as an independent treatment method or combined with other treatment methods such as surgery and chemotherapy to provide patients with effective and comprehensive treatment options. However, during the treatment process, the tumor non-specificity of X-ray radiotherapy can cause damage to normal tissue cells in the irradiated area. At the same time, the high proliferation rate of tumor cells and abnormal tumor vascular structure can cause tumor hypoxia and increase radiotherapy resistance. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new X-ray radiotherapy programs that are highly specific to tumors and more effective.
[0003] Targeted nanomaterials for sensitizing radiotherapy is a very promising strategy. Nanoparticles with high Z sequences have a high absorption capacity for radiation, which can enhance the energy deposition of ionizing radiation, enhance DNA damage, and improve the effect of radiotherapy. Hainfeld et al. found that compared with the single irradiation group, gold nanoparticles (Z = 79) combined with X-ray irradiation can significantly delay tumor growth and prolong survival in EMT6 tumor-bearing mice. Chattopadhyay et al. reported that Au-T targeting human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) combined with X-ray therapy can significantly inhibit tumor growth in tumor-bearing mice compared with X-ray therapy alone. However, the hypoxic characteristics of tumor cells and the fact that radiotherapy can further aggravate tumor hypoxia by damaging blood vessels can both cause radiotherapy resistance and reduce the effect of radiotherapy. Therefore, it is necessary to develop strategies to improve hypoxia and synergize radiotherapy sensitization.
[0004] X-ray radiotherapy changes the tumor microenvironment, and literature studies have shown that radiotherapy can enhance the immune response. However, it can also be observed that patients with poor immune function have poor control of tumors after radiotherapy and poor prognosis. This shows that the ability of radiotherapy-induced anti-tumor immune response to occur depends on the immune function status of the tumor microenvironment. Radiotherapy-induced immune activation is not enough to counteract the immunosuppressive microenvironment. For example, tumor cells can express inhibitory receptors, PD-L1, after radiotherapy, which bind to PD-1 on the surface of T cells, inhibit T cell activity, lead to immune escape, and ultimately cause tumor progression, metastasis or recurrence. This may be the reason why anti-tumor immune responses caused by single radiotherapy are rare in clinical practice. Therefore, suppressing the negative immune environment while radiotherapy may be a promising development direction.
[0005] In summary, the development of a bionic nanoradiotherapy sensitizer that combines radiosensitization with immune activation and can also be effectively traced is of great significance for the treatment of breast cancer. Summary of the invention

[0037] 1.4 Extraction of T1 mouse breast tumor cell membrane
[0038] (1) Cell culture: 4T1 cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 complete medium, 5% CO2, and 37°C incubator. When the number of 4T1 cells was sufficient, the cells were collected.
[0039] (2) Digestion of cells: Wash the cells with 1× PBS, add 0.25% trypsin to digest for 6 min, and then add an appropriate amount of complete medium containing serum to terminate the digestion. Blow the bottom of the dish to collect all the cells. Centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 5 min, discard the supernatant, add PBS to resuspend the cell pellet and count.
[0040] (3) Centrifuge again (1000 rpm, 5 min), discard the supernatant, and collect the cell pellet. Add 10×10 -3 M MgCl2, 10×10 -3 M Tris and 1× cold Tris buffer (pH=7.4) without ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) protease inhibitors, and incubate at 4°C for 1 h.
[0041] (4) The suspension was sonicated in an ultrasonic machine at 0°C for 10 min.
[0042] (5) After ultrasonic treatment, centrifuge at 600 rpm for 10 min to remove the precipitate and retain the supernatant.
[0043] (6) The obtained supernatant was further centrifuged at 11,480 rpm for 10 min to remove the precipitate and retain the supernatant.
[0044] (7) The supernatant obtained again was centrifuged at 110,000 rpm for 30 min to collect the precipitate, which was the desired 4T1 cell membrane. The above centrifugation steps must be performed at 4°C.
[0045] (8) The collected cell membranes were resuspended in PBS and squeezed through a 400 nm polycarbonate membrane five times to ensure homogeneity.
[0046] (9) Add protease inhibitors at a ratio of 100:1 and store at -80°C until use.
[0047] 2. Synthesis of multifunctional biomimetic nanoradiotherapy sensitizer
[0048] (1) Under stirring conditions at about 600 rpm, 4.11 mL of HAuCl4 was added to 96 mL of deionized water, heated to 160°C, and the mixed aqueous solution was boiled after waiting for about 10 minutes.
[0049] (2) Quickly add 10 mL of trisodium citrate solution (38.8 mM) and incubate for an additional 15 min. The solution gradually changes from light yellow to colorless, black, and finally to cherry red.
[0050] (3) The solution was cooled to room temperature and then centrifuged at 11,000 rpm for 20 min. A cherry red precipitate was observed. The supernatant was discarded, and the solution was resuspended in deionized water and washed by centrifugation twice before being collected for later use.

[0054] (7) The rotation speed of the potassium permanganate-containing mixed solution was reduced to 300 rpm, and the solution was heated to 80°C to promote the growth of monodisperse Au / MnO2 nanosheets. After incubation for 30 min, stirring was stopped and the solution was allowed to cool to room temperature. At this time, the solution changed from purple-red when potassium permanganate was first added to brown.

[0139] (22) The mixture was transferred to an ultrafiltration tube and centrifuged at 4500 rpm for 5 min to collect the resulting sediment, which was resuspended in ultrapure water and transferred to an ultrafiltration tube again. After repeated washing twice, the collected sediment was resuspended in ultrapure water to obtain PEI-coated Au / MnO2 (Au / MnO2-PEI).
[0140] (23) Positively charged Au / MnO2-PEI (Au concentration of 1 mg / ml) and negatively charged PD-L1 siRNA were physically mixed at a mass ratio of 1:6 at 4 °C for 30 min to obtain a mixture with small interfering RNA.
[0141] (24) After the EMT6 cell membrane and the above mixture were mixed by low-temperature ultrasound for 20 min, NIR-935 with a concentration of 2 mg / mL was added at a ratio of 1:10, and low-temperature ultrasound was performed for 10 min. The mixture was centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 15 min to remove the excess NIR-935 that was not adsorbed. The resulting precipitate was the final material we needed.
[0142] 3. In vivo tracking of multifunctional bionic nanoradiotherapy sensitizers
[0143] (2) After tail vein injection of 200 μL of 1 mg / kg (calculated as Au concentration) of nano-radiotherapy sensitizer into tumor-bearing mice (Suzhou Jingweiyu Biotechnology Co., Ltd.), near-infrared in vivo imaging was used to collect near-infrared fluorescence signals from the tumor sites of the tumor-bearing mice and to track the migration of the bionic nano-radiotherapy sensitizer in the tumor-bearing mice in real time.
