Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to application of non-inflammatory microvesicles secreted by macrophages induced by beta-glucan in treating inflammation, and relates to the technical field of biomedicine. Background Art

[0002] Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid-coated biological nanoparticles secreted by virtually all cells. EVs are membrane-bound vesicles surrounded by a lipid bilayer. EVs can be classified as exosomes, microvesicles, and apoptotic bodies based on their cellular protein markers, size, and derivatives. Microvesicles are approximately 100–1000 nm in diameter and secreted by living cells. They contain a rich array of proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Recently, it has been discovered that microvesicles, as naturally stable nanoscale vesicles, can penetrate biological barriers, protect their contents from degradation, and be efficiently taken up by recipient cells. They can serve as carriers for genes and drugs and participate in disease treatment.

[0003] Macrophages are innate immune cells and a crucial component of the immune system. They play a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis in the peritoneal cavity and defending against pathogen invasion. Under normal physiological conditions, peritoneal macrophages are in a quiescent state. They possess potent phagocytic functions, clearing apoptotic cells, bacteria, fungi, and other foreign matter from the peritoneal cavity. As research deepens, it has been discovered that peritoneal macrophages exhibit a high degree of heterogeneity and plasticity. Under different stimulation conditions, they can polarize into distinct phenotypes, such as the classically activated M1 type and the alternatively activated M2 type, exerting distinct functions.

[0004] Glucan, also known as β-glucan, is a polysaccharide composed of glucose molecules linked by glycosidic bonds. It is widely present in nature and has been found in microorganisms, plants, and animals. In the microbial field, certain bacteria and fungi can synthesize glucans as an important component of their cell walls, providing structural support and protection for the cells. For example, the β-glucan in yeast cell walls has a unique structure and biological activity. Glucan is also a common component in plants, such as in the cell walls of cereals, where it helps maintain the morphology and stability of plant cells. From a biological perspective, β-glucan plays an important role in regulating the immune system. However, existing technologies have not yet reported whether β-glucan can induce macrophage polarization and produce microvesicles, nor is it known whether it plays a role in regulating the immune system.

[0054] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments. The examples provided are only for illustrating the present invention, not for limiting the scope of the present invention. The examples provided below can be used as a guide for further improvements by those of ordinary skill in the art and do not constitute a limitation of the present invention in any way.

[0055] For the purposes of this invention, the term "microvesicle" refers to extracellular vesicles (EVs) with a diameter of 100 to 1000 nm, also known as microparticles. These are small vesicles that shed from the cell membrane following cell activation, damage, or apoptosis. They interact with cells through various mechanisms and exert diverse biological functions. The microvesicles described in the first aspect of the present invention encompass the entire bilayer membrane and all proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and other substances contained within it.

[0056] In the present invention, the term "β-glucan" (Glucan) refers to a homopolysaccharide composed of glucose as a monosaccharide, with glucose units connected by glycosidic bonds, its CAS number is 9012-72-0, and its molecular formula is C 18 H 30 O 14 X2.

[0057] In the present invention, the term "immortalization" refers to the property of cells that acquire the ability to continue to grow and proliferate. Immortalized cells have unlimited proliferative growth, can be passaged for a long time, and are often accompanied by karyotype changes. Immortalized cell lines have great research significance in the fields of studying the growth and development mechanisms of organisms, regulating life activities, and diagnosing and treating diseases. In the context of the present invention, immortalization refers to immortalized macrophages of mouse origin, including commercial immortalized macrophages and self-induced immortalized macrophages. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, J774A.1 cells are a type of immortalized mouse mononuclear macrophages, which are taken from adult female BALB / CN mice with reticulum cell sarcoma, and are isolated from ascites produced during cell tumor induction therapy.

[0058] In the present invention, the term "primary" refers to cells obtained by digesting and dispersing animal tissue with trypsin or other proteases to obtain single cells, which are then grown in a culture dish. The cells retain the basic properties of the original cells and, if they are normal cells, still retain a diploid number. Cultured cells within the first to tenth generations are generally referred to as primary cell cultures. Commonly used primary cell cultures include tissue block culture and dispersed cell culture. In some embodiments, primary peritoneal macrophages can be obtained by flushing the peritoneal cavity with physiological saline or cell culture medium and then extracting the peritoneal lavage fluid.

[0059] In the present invention, the term "polarization" refers to the process by which macrophages change their phenotype under the influence of cytokines to enhance their ability to respond to changes in the microenvironment. This process is called macrophage polarization. Based on phenotype and function, macrophage polarization includes classically activated M1 macrophages and alternatively activated M2 macrophages. In specific embodiments of the present invention, the primary peritoneal macrophages obtained are mostly M1 macrophages.

[0060] For the purposes of this invention, the term "peritoneal macrophages" refers to macrophages extracted from the mouse peritoneal cavity. Macrophages naturally exist in the mouse peritoneal cavity, and most are free in the ascites, making them easy to obtain. Macrophages can be obtained by flushing the peritoneal cavity with saline or cell culture medium and then extracting the peritoneal lavage fluid. Peritoneal macrophages are typically cultured by intraperitoneal injection of 3% thioglycolate broth, a non-infectious inflammatory stimulus that promotes macrophage aggregation. Thioglycolate (thioglycolate) releases macrophages from the peripheral blood into the peritoneal cavity, thereby extracting more macrophages for subsequent culture.

[0061] In the present invention, the term "reduced" refers to a decrease in measurable lesions compared to before treatment, which persists for at least four weeks, with no new lesions appearing during that period. In some embodiments, the severity or duration of the patient's inflammatory manifestations is reduced, for example, by at least about 10%, at least about 30%, at least about 50%, or at least about 80%, compared to the absence of the active ingredient of the present invention (e.g., the microvesicles of the first aspect of the present invention).

[0062] In the context of this invention, the term "inflammation" refers to the body's defensive response to irritation, manifested as redness, swelling, heat, pain, and functional impairment. Inflammation can be acute or chronic, and can be infectious or non-infectious. Inflammation as described herein includes inflammation caused by physical factors, chemical factors, biological factors, tissue necrosis, allergic reactions, and foreign bodies. Physical factors include high and low temperatures, mechanical trauma, ultraviolet light, and radiation. Chemical factors include both endogenous and exogenous chemicals. Endogenous chemicals include decomposition products of necrotic tissue and metabolic products that accumulate in the body under pathological conditions, such as urea; exogenous chemicals include strong acids, strong bases, strong oxidants, and mustard gas. Improper use of drugs and other biological agents can also cause inflammation. Biological factors include viruses, bacteria, rickettsiae, protozoa, fungi, spirochetes, and parasites. Tissue necrosis caused by any cause is a potential inflammatory factor. An allergic reaction occurs when the body's immune response is abnormal, leading to an inappropriate or excessive immune response, tissue damage, and inflammation. Examples include allergic rhinitis and glomerulonephritis. Foreign bodies, such as surgical sutures, silica crystals, or fragments of material, can remain in tissues and cause inflammation.

[0063] As used herein, the term "pharmaceutical composition" refers to a composition comprising at least one biologically active compound. The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may be administered orally, parenterally, by inhalation spray, topically, rectally, nasally, buccally, vaginally, or via an implanted reservoir. In some embodiments, oral administration is preferred. The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may contain any conventional non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, adjuvant, or vehicle. In some cases, pharmaceutically acceptable acids, bases, or buffers may be used to adjust the pH of the formulation to improve the stability of the formulated compound or its dosage form. The term parenteral as used herein includes subcutaneous, intradermal, intravenous, intramuscular, intraarticular, intraarterial, intrasynovial, intrasternal, intrathecal, intralesional, and intracranial injection or infusion techniques. The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may be administered to the recipient by any route that reaches the target tissue.

[0064] The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention may also be used in combination with other drugs for treating, preventing, alleviating, and / or alleviating diseases related to myelin damage in the nervous system. These other compounds for treating, preventing, alleviating, and / or alleviating diseases related to myelin damage in the nervous system may be administered simultaneously with the main active ingredient (e.g., the microvesicles described in the first aspect of the present invention), or even administered simultaneously in the same composition. The other therapeutic compounds may also be administered separately in a separate composition or in a dosage form different from that of the main active ingredient.

[0065] In the present invention, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" refers to any pharmaceutical carrier that does not itself induce the production of antibodies harmful to the individual receiving the composition and can be administered without excessive toxicity. Suitable carriers can be large, slowly metabolized macromolecules such as proteins, polysaccharides, polylactic acid, polyglycolic acid, polymeric amino acids and amino acid copolymers. Such carriers are well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. The pharmaceutically acceptable carrier in the pharmaceutical composition can include fluids such as water, saline, glycerol and ethanol. Auxiliary substances such as wetting agents or emulsifiers, pH buffer substances, etc. may also be present in such vehicles.

[0066] In the present invention, the term "culture system" refers to a system that simulates the in vivo environment (sterility, suitable temperature, pH, and specific nutritional conditions) in vitro, allowing cells to survive, grow, reproduce, and maintain their primary structures and functions. It typically includes culture medium, nutrients, cytokines, gas exchange, and supports (e.g., glass or plastic culture dishes and flasks). In the context of the present invention, a culture system refers to a liquid culture system that does not include gas exchange or supports.

[0067] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are intended to illustrate the present invention only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The experimental methods in the following examples, unless otherwise specified, are conventional methods, and the materials and reagents used in the following examples, unless otherwise specified, are all commercially available.

Isolation and Culture of Peritoneal Macrophages: Mice were intraperitoneally injected with 1 mL of 3% thioglycolate broth once a day for 3 consecutive days and then sacrificed by cervical dislocation. Under sterile conditions, the abdominal skin of the mice was cut open to expose the peritoneum. The needle of the syringe was inserted into the subcutaneous space and into the peritoneal cavity with the right hand. 5-10 mL of pre-chilled 1° PBS was injected into the peritoneal cavity and the abdomen was massaged for 5 minutes. The xiphoid process was lifted with sterile forceps and a small incision was made there. The peritoneal lavage fluid was repeatedly flushed with a 1 mL pipette and the lavage fluid was collected into a test tube. The cells were centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes, the supernatant was discarded, the test tube was flicked, and the cells were resuspended in 1 mL of complete RPMI1640 medium. 10 mL of the cell suspension was taken for cell counting. The cell suspension was diluted to 2-4°C / 10 6 / mL, 500 mL per well was seeded in a 24-well plate, and the plate was placed in a cell incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 4-6 h.
