Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biomedicine, and specifically relates to a siRNA delivery system and a preparation method, application and product thereof. Background Art
[0002] Common wrinkles are caused by muscle traction or morphological changes. The target gene SNAP-25 is one of the three proteins in the SNARE (Soluble N-ethylmaie-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors, SNARE, soluble N-ethylmaleimide sensitive factor attachment protein receptor) complex, and is also the main protein for the decomposition of botulinum toxin. In nerve cells, SNAP-25 affects axon growth and synaptic plasticity, and can regulate neurotransmitter release. The light chain of botulinum toxin type A protein can specifically hydrolyze the SNAP-25 protein (synaptosome-associated protein-25) on the presynaptic membrane, thereby affecting the activity of SNARE proteins involved in cell endocytosis and exocytosis, resulting in the inability of acetylcholine-containing vesicles to bind to the plasma membrane of the presynaptic membrane, and thus cannot be released. The corresponding nerve impulses cannot stimulate the contraction of the muscles they control, so it can improve facial dynamic wrinkles, and its effect is reversible.
[0003] SiRNA is a double-stranded RNA molecule, usually 21-23 nucleotides in length, with a specific sequence that can fully or partially complement the mRNA of the target gene. In cells, SiRNA is recognized and bound by the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which then uses SiRNA as a guide to cut the complementary mRNA molecule, thereby blocking the translation process of the target gene and achieving the purpose of inhibiting gene expression. However, the low transmission efficiency of SiRNA (small interfering RNA) has resulted in its unsatisfactory inhibitory effect on the gene SNAP-25.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a SiRNA delivery system to improve the SiRNA delivery efficiency and thereby achieve a better inhibitory effect on the gene SNAP-25. Summary of the invention

[0062] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with specific examples. The following examples are not intended to limit the present invention, but are only intended to illustrate the present invention. The experimental methods used in the following examples are generally conventional, unless otherwise specified, and the materials, reagents, etc. used in the following examples are commercially available, unless otherwise specified.

[0066] Example 1
[0067] The delivery materials tested in the present invention are as follows:
[0068] (1) Lipid Nanoparticles
[0069] The ingredients of the lipid nanoparticles of the present invention are shown in Table 2:

[0071]
[0072] Synthesis method: The liposome nanoparticle synthesis system requires a flow control system and a microfluidic chip, specifically including a 2-channel microinjection pump, 2 flow sensors, 2 liquid storage tubes and a microfluidic chip.
[0073] The workflow of the liposome nanoparticle synthesis system is as follows: the pressure controller connected to the pressure source provides a stable pressure value, and a fixed pressure is applied to the sealed liquid storage tube through the pipeline, so that the liquid in the liquid storage tube is stably output and passes through the flow sensor. The flow sensor measures the flow and feeds back to the pressure controller, thereby achieving the purpose of precise flow control. The fluid is then stably and accurately delivered to the microfluidic chip, and the specific parameters can be controlled and set through the software on the computer. The 2-channel microinjection pump controls the lipid-containing ethanol phase and water phase solution respectively. The two-phase solution can adjust the flow rate separately, and mix in the microfluidic chip after passing through the flow sensor and damper, thereby synthesizing nanoliposomes. Specifically, nanoliposomes with a fixed particle size can be obtained by adjusting the flow rate, flow rate ratio and total flow rate of the ethanol phase and the water phase.
[0074] When siRNA encapsulation is performed, first, according to the above-mentioned lipid nanoparticle formula and ratio, the five lipid components are dissolved in anhydrous ethanol to prepare a lipid ethanol solution, and the mass volume ratio of the five components to ethanol is 7.5 mg / ml. At the same time, the siRNA is dissolved in an acidic buffer (Tris-HCl in the present invention) to ensure that the siRNA is in a form suitable for binding to the lipid. The lipid-ethanol solution and the siRNA solution are fully mixed in a micromixer using a microfluidic chip, the volume concentration of the lipid-ethanol solution is 20%, and the concentration of the siRNA is 330ug / ml to form lipid nanoparticles.

The flow sensor measures the flow and feeds back to the pressure controller, thereby achieving the purpose of precise flow control.

Specifically, nanoliposomes with a fixed particle size can be obtained by adjusting the flow rate, flow rate ratio and total flow rate of the ethanol phase and the water phase.
[0076] For example, when encapsulating siRNA, firstly, according to the above LNP formula and ratio, the four lipid components are dissolved in anhydrous ethanol to prepare a lipid ethanol solution. At the same time, the siRNA is dissolved in an acidic buffer (such as tris-hcl) to ensure that the siRNA is in a form suitable for binding with lipids. The lipid-ethanol solution and the siRNA solution are fully mixed in a micromixer using a microfluidic chip to form LNP. In this process, the lipid is protonated in ethanol to form a cation, which binds to the negatively charged siRNA and self-assembles to form LNP through electrostatic interaction.
[0077] The mixed LNP solution contains a high concentration of ethanol, and the residual ethanol needs to be removed by dialysis or ultrafiltration, and the solution system is replaced with a neutral buffer for subsequent biological experiments and long-term storage.
[0078] In this process, lipids are protonated in ethanol to form cations, which bind to negatively charged siRNA and self-assemble into lipid nanoparticles through electrostatic interactions.
[0079] The mixed lipid nanoparticle solution contains a high concentration of ethanol, and the residual ethanol needs to be removed by dialysis or ultrafiltration, and the solution system needs to be replaced with a neutral buffer for subsequent biological experiments and long-term storage.
[0080] Quality testing of lipid nanoparticles: Use dynamic light scattering instrument and other equipment to test the particle size, monodispersity, etc. of lipid nanoparticles to ensure that the quality of lipid nanoparticles meets the experimental requirements.
[0081] Storage of lipid nanoparticles: Lipid nanoparticles that have passed quality inspection are stored at -80℃ for a long time.
[0082] Material related parameters are shown in Table 3:

[0085] (2) Commercially available transfection reagent Lipo3000 as a positive control
[0086] The implementation plan process and grouping are as follows:
[0087] 1) Human neuroblastoma cells SH-SY5Y and human neuroepithelioma cells SK-N-MC were selected, expanded and cultured, and plated on 12-well plates. When the cell confluence reached 80%, transfection was performed, and the amount of siRNA used per well was 2ug (1OD≈33ug).
[0088] 2) Naked siRNA and siRNA encapsulated by lipid nanoparticles.
[0089] (3) LIPOFECTAMIN3000 was used as the transfection reagent control (transfection of naked siRNA), and siRNA after lipid nanoparticle delivery material was used as the experimental group (Si-SNAP25 was synthesized by Suzhou Gene Gene Co., Ltd.). Each group was divided into the following subgroups:
[0090] ①Blank control group
[0091] ②NC group
[0092] ③Si-SNAP25 low dose group
[0093] ④Si-SNAP25 medium dose group
[0094] ⑤Si-SNAP25 high dose group
[0095] ⑥Si-SNAP25-cy3 low dose group
[0096] ⑦Si-SNAP25-cy3 medium dose group
[0097] ⑧Si-SNAP25-cy3 high dose group
[0098] At 24h and 48h after transfection, groups ⑥, ⑦, and ⑧ were stained with 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole and observed and photographed under a fluorescence microscope. The proportion of fluorescence-positive cells reflects the delivery efficiency of different delivery systems and conditions.
[0099] For groups ①, ②, ③, ④, and ⑤, cell samples were collected using TRIZOL and RIPA, respectively, and total RNA and protein were extracted and stored in a -80°C refrigerator for subsequent testing.
[0100] (4) Total RNA and total protein were extracted from the collected cells, and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (real-time PCR) and Western blot (antibody Santa Cruz sc-20038) were performed to compare the differences in the inhibitory efficiency of siRNA on target genes in different delivery systems.
[0101] The specific implementation plan is as follows:

Discard the supernatant of the cells, rinse them with PBS buffer, add 0.05 (W / V)% trypsin to cover the bottom surface, and digest at room temperature for about 1 minute. Aspirate the trypsin, add complete culture medium to terminate digestion, transfer to a new culture dish at a ratio of 1:2, and return to the incubator for continued culture.

[0108] (1) Cell transfection
[0109] The cells were plated in a 12-well plate and transfected when the confluence reached 70-80%.
[0110] Since the siRNA concentrations contained in the various delivery materials were inconsistent, a uniform siRNA amount was used for conversion to facilitate comparison, that is, the cell transfection amount per well was 2ug siRNA.
[0111] The amount of each material used for transfection is shown in Table 4 below:

Discard the supernatant, wash twice with PBS, and observe under a fluorescence microscope and take photos. Transfection efficiency = number of cy3 fluorescence positive cells / total number of cells × 100%.
