Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of nanoparticles and biotechnology, and in particular relates to a method for preparing nanoparticles capable of regulating the degree of crowding in cells. Background Art
[0002] Tissue damage triggers a complex and coordinated inflammatory response, and an orderly inflammatory response is a necessary condition for tissue regeneration. Macrophages, as important effector cells in the body's innate immunity, clear pathogens and tissue debris by initiating inflammatory responses in the early stages of inflammation, and secrete anti-inflammatory cytokines during the inflammation resolution phase to promote stem cell recruitment and bone regeneration. However, in the inflammatory tissue microenvironment caused by diseases such as diabetes, the retention of pro-inflammatory macrophages hinders the resolution of inflammation, thereby damaging stem cell function and hindering the regeneration cascade process. Therefore, revealing the regulatory mechanism of post-injury inflammation and macrophage function is the key to regulating inflammatory responses and tissue regeneration under pathological conditions.
[0003] The cell is filled with a large number of biomacromolecules (proteins, nucleic acids, polysaccharides, etc.), and due to the excluded volume effect, the free space is extremely limited. This state is called macromolecular crowding. Macromolecular crowding affects key physiological functions such as protein structure, folding, enzyme activity, and protein interaction. Biomolecules are enriched by phase separation, and phase separation, as a self-organizing regulatory mechanism of complex biological processes in cells, widely affects physiological activities, including cell division, development, tumors, neurodegenerative diseases, immune responses, and plant photosynthesis. The degree of intracellular macromolecular crowding is closely related to the occurrence of phase separation. Studies have shown that intracellular crowding promotes the occurrence of phase separation by increasing the effective concentration of biomolecules. WNK kinase is a class of serine threonine protein kinases found in mammals. It can sense the intracellular crowding state, use disordered domains to drive the occurrence of phase separation, and then assemble into condensates to activate the WNK-SPAK / OSR1 pathway. The WNK-SPAK / OSR1 pathway can trigger the phosphorylation of downstream sodium-potassium-chloride cotransporter, drive ion influx, inhibit inflammasome activation, and play an important role in inhibiting inflammation. Therefore, WNK protein phase separation can be triggered by regulating the crowding state of intracellular macromolecules, providing a new way to regulate cell function.
[0004] As an ideal drug delivery carrier, silica nanoparticles can efficiently and safely deliver crowding agents to the cytoplasm due to their controllable size and adjustable surface chemical properties. In addition, silica can also achieve responsive release to the intracellular environment by modifying its surface chemical properties, thereby more accurately controlling the release time and location of crowding agents in the cell. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop functional silica nanoparticles that can selectively deliver crowding agents to the cytoplasm as an advanced tool to regulate the intracellular crowding state and trigger the phase separation process of specific proteins. Summary of the invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for preparing nanoparticles that can regulate the degree of intracellular crowding in view of the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art. The nanoparticles use polysucrose as a crowding agent, silica as a core skeleton, disulfide bonds as polysucrose-responsive release switches, and folic acid and hyaluronic acid as targeting ligands. The nanoparticles have the ability to target pro-inflammatory macrophages, release crowding agents in a glutathione-responsive manner, and regulate the degree of intracellular crowding.

The obtained product was washed and dried to obtain silica nanoparticles BSN@Ficoll-NH2 with amino terminal groups.
[0012] S3. Preparation of FHS@Ficoll Nanoparticles
[0013] Hyaluronic acid was mixed with 1-ethyl-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride and N-hydroxysuccinimide to activate the carboxyl group. After 30 minutes, the BSN@Ficoll-NH2 nanoparticles obtained by S2 were added and reacted at room temperature for 24-48 hours to obtain hyaluronic acid-modified nanoparticles HA-BSN@Ficoll-NH2.
[0014] Folic acid was mixed with 1-ethyl-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride and N-hydroxysuccinimide to activate the carboxyl group.

[0023] 2. The highly efficient synergistic effect of folic acid and hyaluronic acid ensures that FHS@Ficoll nanoparticles can be accurately identified and delivered to pro-inflammatory macrophages, achieving precise intracellular delivery; after entering the cells, the disulfide bonds in the nanoparticles are specifically broken in the reducing environment of high-concentration glutathione in the cells. This process releases a large amount of polysucrose and triggers the phase separation of WNK protein, thereby activating a series of downstream signaling pathways and effectively inhibiting the excessive activation of inflammasomes. This mechanism not only promotes the relief of inflammatory responses, but also accelerates the repair and regeneration of damaged tissues, providing a novel, non-invasive autoregulatory strategy for disease treatment, which is expected to replace traditional drug treatments and significantly reduce the risk of immune rejection in vivo.

The process includes the following steps:
[0069] 1. After macrophages induced inflammasome activation, FHS@Ficoll nanoparticles were co-cultured with macrophages. After 3 hours, the cells were washed twice with PBS, and 500 μL of 4% paraformaldehyde was added and fixed at room temperature for 15 minutes. Washed twice with PBS; permeabilized with 0.1% Trition for 10 minutes, washed twice with PBS, and blocked with 2.5% BSA at room temperature for 1 hour; anti-WNK antibody (1:200 dilution of antibody) was added and incubated overnight at 4°C; washed twice with PBS the next day; incubated with goat anti-rabbit red fluorescent secondary antibody (1:200 dilution of antibody) at room temperature for 2 hours; washed three times with PBS and sealed with anti-fluorescence quenching sealing agent containing DAPI. The phase separation of WNK in pro-inflammatory macrophages was observed using a laser confocal microscope.

Immunofluorescence showed that WNK in activated macrophages was diffusely distributed in the cytoplasm, while WNK was observed to aggregate in bright spots in the FHS@Ficoll group, indicating that the delivery of polysucrose regulated the intracellular crowding and triggered WNK phase separation.

Immunofluorescence showed that iNOS was almost not expressed in unactivated macrophages, while iNOS expression in activated macrophages increased significantly. The application of FHS@Ficoll group showed that iNOS expression decreased, indicating that the delivery of polysucrose alleviated the inflammatory state of cells.
