Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biomedical technology, and in particular to a preparation method of cytoplasmic vesicles and applications thereof. Background Art
[0002] Cell-like vesicles are a biomimetic biotechnology that is mainly used to prepare micro or nano vesicles with cell membrane-like structures. Currently available cell-like vesicles mainly include vesicles prepared from cell membranes and extracellular vesicles secreted by cells. Cell-like vesicles have been shown to have many advantages in the preparation of drugs and diagnosis of diseases, such as good biosafety, targeting of membrane proteins, and multiple drug loading, which gives cell-like vesicles broad application prospects. However, there are still some challenges in the large-scale preparation and multifunctionalization of cell-like vesicles. In particular, the number of extracellular vesicles secreted by cells is extremely small, far less than the actual demand. Studies have shown that in the case of in vitro culture, 10 6 The amount of extracellular vesicles secreted by cells per day is less than the microgram level, which has caused a research dilemma for extracellular vesicles (exosomes) secreted by cells in the fields of disease diagnosis and treatment. To overcome this shortcoming, the demand for large-scale production of cell-derived micron and nano vesicles has emerged. While the induced secretion vesicles have similar functions to exosomes, the preparation process of such induced secretion vesicles has relatively simple steps, and the amount of vesicle extraction is also relatively large. The most commonly used method is to use chemical induction (chemical reagents or nanomaterials) to stimulate cells to secrete more vesicles [Advanced Functional Materials, 2016, 26 (32): 5804-5817], and also includes physical methods, such as light-induced methods to make cells produce nano vesicles [Nature Communications, 2022, 13 (1): 6534]. These means can obtain a relatively sufficient number of vesicles with membrane components close to those of mother cells [ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces 2021, 13, 55767-55779]. However, existing technologies for inducing cell-secreted extracellular vesicles are either time-consuming and have little improvement in yield, or introduce reagents with biosafety risks. Therefore, the development of new, efficient and safe methods for preparing cell-like vesicles is urgent.
[0003] In addition, the existing applications of cell-like vesicles are all based on the cell membrane structure. By loading or modifying small molecule therapeutic agents or diagnostic agents in the vesicles or on the cell membrane, the cell-like vesicle-derived small molecule therapeutic agents or diagnostic agents can be given excellent biocompatibility and targeting. However, such a cell-like vesicle loading method is still very difficult for biological macromolecules (proteins, mRNA, organelles), and the loading efficiency is very low, which also indirectly reflects the limitations of the expandable functions of cell-like vesicles. The delivery of biological macromolecules is an important way for biological treatment and diagnosis. Although there are some other ways to load and deliver biological macromolecules such as protein drugs and mRNA drugs in vivo, for organelles of larger size (hundreds of nanometers to more than ten microns) and fragility, the strategy of loading or delivering organelles has hardly been reported. Therefore, the construction of cell-like vesicles containing biological macromolecules and structures (especially organelles) is of great significance to the development of biological treatment and diagnosis, and has potential application value.

Subsequently, the cells were dehydrated and left to stand in a clean bench for 10 minutes. After the cancer cells were observed to have obvious shrinkage under a microscope, 5 mL of DPBS was slowly added along the wall of the culture dish. After incubation for about 2 minutes, a large number of dehydration-induced vesicles were observed to detach from the cells under a microscope (Olympus, CKX53). The results are shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, after dehydration at room temperature and re-addition of DPBS, a large number of cytoplasmic vesicles produced by each cell type can be quickly seen under a microscope. The experimental results show that the dehydration induction method for preparing cytoplasmic vesicles is suitable for a variety of cells and has good induction efficiency.
[0127] Example 2: Optimization of conditions for preparing cytoplasmic vesicles by dehydration induction method
[0128] PC9 cells were inoculated into six-well plates. When the cell confluence reached 70% to 80%, the culture medium was removed and the cells were washed twice with DPBS. Subsequently, the cells were dehydrated and placed in a clean bench for 10 minutes. After the cancer cells were observed to have obvious shrinkage under a microscope, 5 mL of phosphate buffer with different pH values (pH 7.1, pH 7.5, pH 8.0, and pH 8.5) were added, respectively, and the cells were incubated for 30 minutes and finally observed under a microscope (Olympus, CKX53). Figure 3 As shown in the figure, cytoplasmic vesicles can be produced at pH 7.1-8.5. However, as the pH of the incubation solution increases after dehydration, the number of cytoplasmic vesicles decreases.
[0129] PC9 cells were inoculated into six-well plates. When the cell confluence reached 70% to 80%, the culture medium was removed and the cells were washed twice with DPBS. Subsequently, the cells were dehydrated and placed in a clean bench for different time periods (10, 20, 30, and 40 minutes). 5 mL of DPBS was added to each well and incubated for 10 minutes. Finally, the cells were observed under a microscope (Olympus, CKX53). Figure 4 As shown, cytoplasmic vesicles can be produced at different room temperature dehydration times. The yield of cytoplasmic vesicles decreases with the increase of cell drying time. Room temperature dehydration in the range of 10-30 minutes can achieve relatively good results.
[0130] PC9 cells were inoculated into a six-well plate. When the cell confluence reached 70% to 80%, the culture medium was removed and the cells were washed twice with DPBS. Subsequently, the cells were dehydrated and left to stand in a clean bench for 10 minutes. After the cancer cells were observed to have obvious shrinkage under a microscope, 5 mL of DPBS was added. After incubation with DPBS for different time periods, the cells were observed under a microscope (Olympus, CKX53). Cytoplasmic vesicles were generated after dehydration at room temperature and incubation with DPBS for 2 minutes. Figure 5 As shown, the yield of cytoplasmic vesicles increased with increasing DPBS incubation time.
[0131] Different cells (see Table 1) were inoculated into a culture dish. When the cell confluence reached 70% to 80%, the culture medium was removed and the cells were washed twice with DPBS. Subsequently, various cells were dehydrated for different periods of time under different conditions (see Table 1), and after each cell was observed to be dehydrated and shrunken under a microscope, 5 mL of DPBS was added, and after incubation for 2-10 minutes, it was observed and recorded under a microscope (Olympus, CKX53). As shown in Table 1, different cells can produce cytoplasmic vesicles after dehydration induction under different dehydration conditions. In Table 1, the heating temperature is 30°C to 80°C.

[0133]
[0134] PC9 cells were inoculated into a culture dish. When the cell confluence reached 70% to 80%, the culture medium was removed and the cells were washed twice with DPBS. Subsequently, the cells were dehydrated and each cell was observed to be dehydrated and shrunken under a microscope. 5 mL of different incubation solutions (see Table 2) were added respectively. After incubation for 2 minutes, the cells were observed and recorded under a microscope (Olympus, CKX53). As shown in Table 2, after dehydration induction, cells can produce cytoplasmic vesicles using different incubation solutions. In Table 2, the heating temperature is 30°C to 80°C.

[0137] Example 3: Cytoplasmic vesicles prepared by dehydration induction method are a new type of cell-like vesicles
[0138] Compared with exosomes (EVs), DIMVs have many advantages in preparation and extraction. To further determine their compositional differences, the present invention compared the protein abundance of PC9 cells, DIMVs produced by PC9 cell dehydration induction method, and EVs secreted by PC9 cells (prepared by conventional size exclusion chromatography, with better exosome purity). The various protein components of PC9 cells, DIMVs, and EVs were analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Figure 6 a). From the results of SDS-PAGE, it can be seen that there is a very obvious band above the 70KDa position in the SDS-PAGE of EV, while there is no obvious difference between the bands of DIMV and Cell. Further, the comprehensive differential protein spectrum of PC9 cells, DIMV and EV was obtained by non-labeled quantitative mass spectrometry analysis. The consistency analysis results showed that DIMV is a product between EV and Cell ( Figure 6 b, c). Among the 3088 proteins identified, 431 were PC9 cell-specific proteins, 123 were DIMV-specific proteins, 96 were EV-specific proteins, and 463 proteins were shared by the three. Compared with EV, DIMV has more abundant protein types than EV ( Figure 6 d). Then, western blot analysis was performed on Cell, DIMV and EV ( Figure 6 g), the results showed that DIMV contained both characteristic proteins of EV and proteins that are generally considered not to be enriched in EV, such as calnexin; this indicates that DIMV has rich protein characteristics and has the characteristics of both cells and EVs. Therefore, the 123 DIMV-specific enriched proteins, especially the most different UTP20, TMEM109, ZW10, PVR, CD58, MRPS7, CHP1, RAB27B, STEAP4, JAGN1, DBT, SLC39A7, PACSIN3, SCAMP1, NDUFB4, MRPS17, PSMB6, ANO6, SYPL1, TRPC5 / 4, POLR2E, C7orf50, SEH1L, TM9SF4, MXRA7, BDH1, GTPBP1, MKNK1, MGST3, ALG5 and other 30 organelle constituent proteins, can be used as markers for DIMV.
[0139] Then, the top 40 proteins with high and low expression in cells and DIMV were counted to analyze which part of the cell they belonged to. Figure 6e, Compared with cells, the proteins with significantly lower expression in DIMV come from the cell membrane and nucleus, while the proteins with higher expression come from multiple organelles, indicating that multiple organelles are enriched in DIMV. In order to confirm whether DIMV contains important organelles such as mitochondria and nucleus, the marker proteins of each organelle were further detected ( Figure 6 f), the results showed that no obvious nuclear markers such as histone H3 could be detected in DIMV, but mitochondrial markers and important components of cytoskeletal proteins could be detected, which once again proved that DIMV contained mitochondria and other related organelles and cytoskeleton. In addition, in order to verify the difference between the cytoplasmic vesicles and apoptotic bodies, western blot analysis was performed on apoptotic bodies, Cell, DIMV and EV ( Figure 6 h), the results showed that DIMV, like cells and EVs, did not possess the characteristic proteins of apoptotic cells and were different from apoptotic bodies.
[0140] The total DNA and RNA quantity and length were tested for samples containing 85 μg of Cell, DIMV and EV protein ( Figure 6 i, j). The results showed that DIMV and EV contained almost no large fragments of genomic DNA, while both DIMV and EV were enriched with a large number of types of RNA. Figure 6 e shows that the cytoplasmic vesicles do not contain nuclei.
[0141] The above results show that DIMV has both similar and different properties with cells and exosomes. It has multiple important non-nuclear organelles and can be used as a new type of cellular vesicle. It does not have the problem of low production of cellular vesicles such as exosomes.
[0142] Based on the differences between DIMVs prepared from PC9 cells and original cells and EVs, differential proteins in DIMVs (including the above-mentioned enriched proteins, markers of internal organelles, and cytoskeletal proteins) can be used as markers for rapid identification of DIMVs, such as β-actin protein. Therefore, WB verification of β-actin in DIMVs induced by dehydration of B16 cells was performed. After unified quantitative loading by the BCA method, β-actin protein was easily detected in samples of DIMVs and cells, which is different from EVs ( Figure 6 k). The results showed that B16 cell DIMVs prepared by dehydration method also contained differentially expressed protein β-actin.
[0143] Example 4: Particle size analysis of cytoplasmic vesicles prepared based on dehydration induction method
[0144] Cytoplasmic vesicles were prepared according to the method in Example 1. PC9 and MCF7 cells were inoculated into a culture dish (10 cm dish). When the cells proliferated to 80% to 90% of the entire culture dish, the culture medium was removed and the cells were gently washed with DPBS to remove dead cells and culture medium components. Subsequently, the cells were dehydrated and left to stand in a clean bench for 10 minutes. After the cancer cells were observed to have obvious shrinkage under a microscope, 5 mL of DPBS was added. After subsequent incubation, a large number of cytoplasmic vesicles were observed under a microscope (Olympus, CKX53) (e.g. Figure 7 a, 7d), collect the incubation supernatant, centrifuge at 500g for 15 minutes, and repeat 1-2 times to remove the precipitated dead cells, and finally further centrifuge and concentrate the supernatant to obtain high-concentration cytoplasmic vesicles. The size was measured by nanoparticle tracking analyzer (Particle Metrix, ZetaView) and nanoflow cytometry (Flow U30), and the results showed that the obtained cytoplasmic vesicles were mainly micron-sized vesicles smaller than the original cells (such as Figure 7 b, 7c, 7e, 7f).
[0145] PC9 cells were inoculated into a culture dish (10 cm dish) and the cell membrane was stained with the lipophilic dye Did. Cytoplasmic vesicles were prepared according to the method in Example 1. Single-photon confocal microscope (Nikon, A1HD25), flow cytometer (Beckman Coulter, CytoFLEX LX), transmission electron microscope (Jeol Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) and scanning electron microscope (Jeol Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) were used to observe and analyze them. The results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 8 As shown, it is further shown that the membrane of the cytoplasmic vesicles prepared by the dehydration induction method is derived from the cell membrane, and the particle size of the cytoplasmic vesicles is smaller than that of the cells, ranging from 0 to 40 μm. The large size of DIMV (especially the size greater than 5 μm, such as greater than 10 μm) is different from the existing EV (30-100 nm) and apoptotic bodies (50-5000 nm), which can be used as one of the morphological characteristics of DIMV.
[0146] Example 5: Dehydration-induced preparation of cytoplasmic vesicles nanostructured
[0147] According to the method in Example 1, the cytoplasmic vesicles of PC9 cells were prepared, and after centrifugation purification and concentration, the prepared DIMV suspension was loaded into a syringe using LiposoFast LF-50 (Avestin, York, UK), and then the suspension was sequentially passed through a series of nanopore sizes, specifically 1 μm, 0.4 μm and 0.1 μm polycarbonate membrane filters (Whatman), such as Fig. 9As shown in a, each time a polycarbonate membrane filter with a pore size is passed, cytoplasmic vesicles of the corresponding size will be obtained. Finally, by collecting the 0.1μm filter membrane extrusion product, exosome-like vesicles of more than 100 nanometers can be obtained. The morphology of exosomes and extracellular nanoscale cytoplasmic vesicles after filter membrane extrusion was observed and analyzed using a transmission electron microscope (Jeol Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) ( Fig. 9 b, c), they have uniform size. Exosomes and exosome analogs were analyzed using a nanoparticle tracking analyzer (Particle Metrix, ZetaView), such as Fig. 9 As shown in d, the two have the same size.
[0148] like Fig. 9 As shown in Figure e, the number of extracellular nanoscale cytoplasmic vesicles prepared by this method was 1.415E+11 per million cells, and the yield was more than 50 times that of exosomes secreted by the same amount of cells (2.7E+9) [International journal of molecular sciences 2020, 21(18), 6466]. Fig. 9 As shown in Figure f, the protein yield of extracellular nanoscale cytoplasmic vesicles and exosomes produced by extrusion in the same culture system was analyzed by western blot. It was found that the total protein amount of extracellular nanoscale cytoplasmic vesicles produced per million cells was 15.905μg, while the total protein amount of EVs produced by the same amount of cells was only 0.098μg. The protein yield of extracellular nanoscale cytoplasmic vesicles of the same amount of cells was more than 160 times that of exosomes. In addition, considering the loss of proteins contained in DIMVs during the extrusion process, as shown in Figure 5, the protein yield of EVs produced by the same amount of cells was more than 0.098μg. Fig. 9 As shown in g, the DIMV protein produced by the same cells was compared with exosomes by western blot, and it was found that the total amount of protein contained in DIMV produced per million cells was 57.434 μg. From the perspective of total protein, the DIMV protein yield of the same amount of cells was more than 580 times that of exosomes.
[0149] Example 6: Cytoplasmic vesicles prepared by dehydration induction method as drug carriers
[0150] The membrane composition of DIMV is similar to that of cell membrane, and it has good biocompatibility and targeting. In order to explore the drug loading capacity of DIMV, the present invention synthesized four cholesterol-CY5.5-labeled DNA chains enriched with different bases (ATCG) (see Table 3) by testing whether DIMV has different loading capacities for DNA enriched with different bases. Then, DIMV was stirred and incubated with A-Chol-cy5.5, C-Chol-cy5.5, T-Chol-cy5.5, G-Chol-cy5.5, and Random DNA aptamer at room temperature for a certain period of time, and then washed twice by centrifugation, and then observed and photographed by Nikon single-photon confocal microscope and tested by Beckman flow cytometer. The results are shown in Figure 3. Fig.10 As shown in Figures 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, 10e, 10g, and 10h, it can be seen from the confocal results that cholesterol-CY5.5 modified DNA chains and random DNA aptamer nucleic acid molecules can be inserted into the DIMV surface or pass through the DIMV membrane into the cytoplasm to achieve DNA loading. DIMV loaded with CY5 aptamer was analyzed by flow cytometry (e.g. Fig.10 f, 10i) The results showed strong fluorescence intensity, indicating that DIMV can effectively load the aptamer.

[0152]
[0153] Example 7: Dehydration induction method to induce the transformation of cells to form DIMV with new biological properties
[0154] Three types of cells were constructed (three plasmids were constructed, GFP green fluorescent protein was on the membrane, GFP green fluorescent protein was in the cytoplasm, GFP green fluorescent protein was on the membrane and mScara-L red fluorescent protein was in the cytoplasm; the plasmids were transferred into HEK293T cells using lip3000 (ThermoFisher L3000075) to obtain proteins expressed by corresponding fluorescent proteins), respectively: 1) high expression of GFP on the membrane (cell GFP on ), 2) High expression of GFP in the cytoplasm (cellular GFP in ), and 3) high expression of GFP on the membrane and mScara-L red fluorescent protein in the cytoplasm (mScara-L (cellular GFP on -mScara-L in ), and prepared cytoplasmic vesicles DIMV according to the dehydration induction scheme. The results were analyzed and observed by Beckman flow cytometer and Nikon single-photon confocal microscope. Fig.11As shown, DIMV carries the eGFP protein expressed by the parental cells, and the localization of these proteins is completely consistent with that of the parental cells. This example shows that through bioengineering, DIMV can have more new properties and functional applications.
[0155] Example 8: Cytoplasmic vesicles prepared by dehydration induction method are used as tumor vaccines
[0156] According to the method in Example 1, cytoplasmic vesicles were prepared, B16 cells were inoculated into a culture dish, and when the cells proliferated to 80% to 90% of the entire culture dish, the culture medium was removed, and the cells were gently washed with DPBS to remove dead cells and culture medium components. Subsequently, the cells were dehydrated, left to stand in a clean bench for 10 minutes, and after observing that the cancer cells had obvious shrinkage under a microscope, 5 mL of DPBS was added, and then cultured and incubated for 1 hour. After a large number of cytoplasmic vesicles were observed under a microscope (Olympus, CKX53), the incubated supernatant was collected, centrifuged at 500g for 15 minutes, and repeated 1-2 times to remove the precipitated dead cells, and finally the supernatant was further centrifuged and concentrated to obtain a high concentration of cytoplasmic vesicles.
[0157] A tumor vaccine prevention model was established in C57 female mice (4-6 weeks old) by tail vein and subcutaneous injection. The mice were randomly divided into 3 groups: (1) control group, injected with DPBS; (2) experimental group 1: subcutaneous injection of DIMV; (3) experimental group 2: tail vein injection of DIMV. B16 cell-derived DIMV immune vaccine (dose = protein 2μg, volume = 0.1mL) was injected via tail vein and subcutaneous injection on days -1, -3, and -5, respectively, and DPBS was injected intravenously in the control group at the same time points. On day 0, B16 cells (10 6 The B16 mouse subcutaneous tumor model was established by inoculating B16 cells. The tumor size (calculated by the formula: long diameter*short diameter*short diameter / 2) and body weight ( Fig.12 a).
[0158] The experimental results showed that on the 9th day after tumor implantation, compared with the DPBS control group, the groups (Sub-immunity and IOCV-immunity) treated with three B16 tumor-derived DIMV vaccines showed significant inhibitory effects on B16 tumors ( Fig.12 b, 12c). It is worth noting that the survival rate of mice in the immunized group was better than that in the control group ( Fig.12 d). And during the entire in vivo experiment, there was no significant change in the weight of the mice ( Fig.12 e). This indicates that DIMV derived from B16 tumor has the ability of immune stimulation and can be used as a candidate drug for inhibiting tumor growth and improving patient survival rate with good safety.
[0159] Example 9: A method for rapid and large-scale preparation of sterile cytoplasmic vesicles based on dehydration induction
[0160] like Fig.13 The obtained B16 cells were inoculated into 150 times the volume of culture medium for expansion culture. When the cells proliferated to a high density (80% to 90%), the culture medium was removed, and the cells were washed with DPBS for 3 times, and then the cells were dehydrated at room temperature. Then, DPBS was added again and cultured for about half an hour. The DPBS supernatant was collected and purified by centrifugation to obtain a large number of cytoplasmic vesicles (such as Fig.14 ), and the yield was increased by more than 100 times. The experimental results show that the dehydration-induced method for preparing cytoplasmic vesicles can achieve good linear amplification and is suitable for large-scale production.
[0161] Example 10: Other dehydration methods for inducing the production of cytoplasmic vesicles
[0162] After HEK293T and PC9 cells proliferated to 80% in a 10 cm culture dish, the culture medium was discarded, and the cells were washed once with DPBS. Then, they were dehydrated for 10 minutes using 30% sucrose, 8% sodium chloride, and 30% sucrose and 8% sodium chloride, respectively. The upper solution was then removed, the cells were quickly washed once with DPBS, and then DPBS was added for 20 minutes of culture. The production of cytoplasmic vesicles was observed under a microscope (Olympus, CKX53).
