Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of immune adjuvant drugs, and in particular to a chitosan-modified Cynanchum multiflorum polysaccharide liposome and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] The information disclosed in this background technology section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the overall background of the invention, and should not necessarily be regarded as an admission or any form of suggestion that the information constitutes the prior art already known to a person skilled in the art.

[0003] Cynanch auriculatum Royle ex wight is a perennial herb of the genus Cynanch in the family Asclepiadaceae. It has the effects of nourishing the liver and kidney, strengthening the tendons and bones, improving the essence and blood, and blackening the hair. It is a traditional tonic. Cynanch auriculatum contains active ingredients such as C21 steroidal glycosides, polysaccharides, and acetophenones, which are closely related to its pharmacological activities such as anti-tumor, liver protection, antioxidant and immunomodulatory.

[0004] As the main active substance of Radix Polygoni Multiflori, Polysaccharide of Radix Polygoni Multiflori has good immunomodulatory effect. However, most natural polysaccharides have problems such as being easily soluble in water, being absorbed and metabolized quickly, and having low utilization rate in the body, which results in a short duration of immune enhancement effect in the body.

[0005] Developing safe and effective vaccines is an effective means of preventing diseases. Although a lot of efforts have been made in vaccine development and preparation, the immune effects of some vaccines are not ideal. To overcome the shortcomings of the existing vaccines, such as the single immune response effect and weak immunogenicity, more effective immune adjuvants are needed to enhance the immune response of the vaccine. An ideal immune adjuvant can stimulate the body to produce an efficient immune response at a relatively low dosage, and has no toxic side effects, making it easy to produce and use. Existing immune adjuvants are increasingly unable to meet market requirements due to their shortcomings such as being difficult to metabolize or prone to causing adverse reactions. Therefore, developing new safe and effective vaccine immune adjuvants to stimulate the body to produce efficient natural and acquired immune responses, improve the levels of humoral and cellular immune responses, enrich the immune response types of vaccines, and give full play to the immune protection of vaccines is an important development direction for the future research and development of new immune adjuvants. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to overcome the above problems, the present invention provides a chitosan-modified Cynomorium multiflorum polysaccharide liposome and a preparation method and application thereof.

[0009] The positively charged surface of the Cynanchum multiflorum polysaccharide liposomes is coated with a negatively charged chitosan layer through electrostatic adsorption, which can slow down the release of drugs and prolong the duration of drug action.

[0089] Example 1

[0090] (1) Extraction of Cynanchum multiflorum polysaccharide:

[0091] The water extraction and alcohol precipitation method is used to obtain Cynomorium multiflorum polysaccharide. The specific steps are as follows:

[0092] Weigh 10g of Radix Cynanchum multiflorum powder in a flask, add 3 times the volume of anhydrous ethanol (30ml), soak and reflux 3 times (each reflux temperature is 50℃, time is 40min) to remove some impurities and grease, and dry the powder at 25℃ to constant weight. Add the treated Radix Cynanchum multiflorum powder to 200ml ultrapure water, soak at room temperature for 2h, heat the mixed solution at 80℃ water bath for 2h, centrifuge the mixed solution at 4000rpm for 10min, retain the supernatant, extract the precipitated residue repeatedly, combine the two extracts, and use a rotary evaporator to concentrate to 50ml to obtain a Radix Cynanchum multiflorum crude sugar solution.

[0093] Use enzymes to remove non-water-soluble starch, add α-amylase (dosage: 18μ / g) and saccharifying enzyme (dosage: 200μ / g) to the raw sugar solution of Radix Polygoni Multiflori, centrifuge the reaction solution at 4000rpm for 10min, collect the upper solution, and concentrate it under reduced pressure to 20ml. Add 60ml of trichloroacetic acid to the concentrate to remove the residual protein in the polysaccharide solution, slowly mix and let it stand overnight, centrifuge at 4000rpm for 10min, retain the supernatant, and concentrate it to a small volume of 10ml. Add 30ml of anhydrous ethanol for precipitation, let it stand at 4℃ for 12h, centrifuge, wash the precipitate twice with 80% ethanol, freeze-dry the precipitate, and obtain the raw polysaccharide of Radix Polygoni Multiflori.

[0094] 1 g of crude polysaccharide of Radix Cynomorii was accurately weighed and prepared into a 100 mg / mL aqueous solution, which was added to a DEAE anion exchange column prepared in advance, and a NaCl solution was used for gradient elution to obtain a preliminarily purified polysaccharide of Radix Cynomorii. The polysaccharide component treated with the DEAE fiber column was dissolved with ultrapure water, added to a dextran G-150 gel column, eluted with ultrapure water as an eluent, and freeze-dried to obtain purified polysaccharide of Radix Cynomorii (abbreviated as CRPS).

[0095] The dextran elution curve of purified polysaccharide is as follows Figure 1 As shown, from Figure 1 As can be seen from the figure, the dextran elution curve of the purified polysaccharide shows a single symmetrical main peak, proving that the purity of the polysaccharide is uniform.

[0096] The Cynomorium multiflorum polysaccharide obtained in this example was characterized:

[0097] (1) Determination of polysaccharide content: Take 10 mg of glucose and dry it until constant weight, and use ultrapure water to prepare a 0.1 mg / mL glucose standard solution. Take 6 dry and clean glass test tubes, add 0 mL, 0.4 mL, 0.8 mL, 1.2 mL, 1.6 mL and 2 mL of glucose standard solution to the test tubes numbered 1 to 6 in turn, and make up to 2 mL of each tube. Then, add 1 mL of 4% phenol solution to each tube, shake gently to mix, then slowly add 5 mL of concentrated sulfuric acid and shake well. React at room temperature for 10 minutes, then place in an 85°C water bath for 15 minutes, and place in ice water for 5 minutes to terminate the reaction. Use a UV spectrophotometer to measure its absorbance at 490 nm, and use the absorbance as the ordinate and the corresponding concentration as the abscissa to draw a glucose standard curve, and make a regression equation and correlation coefficient. Take a polysaccharide sample, dilute the volume to 50mL in a volumetric flask, take 1mL of the sample solution in a test tube, add 2mL of ultrapure water, then add 1mL of 5% phenol solution and 5mL of concentrated sulfuric acid. After the above steps, use a UV spectrophotometer to measure the absorbance at 490nm. Substitute into the formula to get the polysaccharide content, the formula is as follows:

[0098] Polysaccharide content (%) = (C × V × D) / (W × 106) × 100%;

[0099] Wherein, C: sample concentration (μg / mL); V: volume (mL); D: dilution factor; W: sample mass.

[0100] The results are as follows Figure 2 As shown, the elution rate of DEAE cellulose is calculated to be 36.7%. The crude polysaccharide content of Cynanchum multiflorum is 83%, and the polysaccharide content after purification is 92%.

[0101] (2) The infrared spectrum of Cynanchum multiflorum polysaccharide is as follows Figure 3As shown, it shows typical polysaccharide characteristic absorption peaks, specifically, 3336.5 cm -1 The characteristic broad peak at 2930.23 cm is the OH stretching vibration. -1 The vibration peak CH stretch, 1737.05cm -1 The stretching vibration peak of C=O is shown at 1154.97 cm -1 CO stretching vibration peak, 932.71 cm -1 It is the characteristic absorption peak of pyranose ring.

[0102] (3) The H-NMR and C-NMR spectra of Cynanchum multiflorum polysaccharide are as follows Figure 4 and 5 As shown in the H NMR spectrum, the chemical shifts in the 5.0-5.5 ppm and 4.4-5.0 ppm regions are usually assigned to the isomeric protons of the α and β glycosidic configurations, respectively. Therefore, CRPS contains both α and β configurations. The chemical shifts of the CH2-O and CH-O group protons on the sugar ring are between 3.20 and 4.50 ppm, indicating pyranose. In the C NMR spectrum, several resonance signals of isomeric carbons in the range of 98.04 to 101.67 ppm confirm the simultaneous existence of α-(90-100 ppm) and β-(100-110 ppm) glycosidic configurations in CRPS, which is consistent with the H NMR spectrum. The abnormal signals at 4.95 / 98.56 and 5.24 / 99.74 2 positions indicate the presence of (1→4)-linked-α-DGalpA and (1→2)-linked-α-L-Rhap, respectively. In summary, the complex signals of CRPS at 1H 3.0-4.7ppm and 13C 90-101ppm are consistent with the typical characteristic distribution of polysaccharide NMR signals.

[0103] (4) The homogeneity and average molecular weight of CRPS were determined by high performance liquid chromatography. Figure 6 As shown in the figure, at a retention time of 12.12 min, the HPLC spectrum showed a single and symmetrical narrow peak, indicating that a homogeneous polysaccharide with high purity was obtained after chromatography. According to the linear regression curve of the dextran standard, the weight average molecular weight of CRPS is 8.298×104Da. Monosaccharide analysis showed that the polysaccharide of Radix Cynomorii was composed of mannose, glucose, galactose, ribose, rhamnose, glucuronic acid, galacturonic acid, and arabinose, among which glucose had the highest content, followed by galactose and galacturonic acid.

[0104] Example 2

[0105] (1) 40 mg of egg yolk phosphatidylcholine, 10 mg of cholesterol and 0.1 mg of δ-tocopherol were dissolved in 10 mL of chloroform, transferred to a rotary evaporator at 100 rpm and rotated at 38°C under reduced pressure for 1.5 h until a light yellow uniform lipid film formed at the bottom of the bottle.

[0106] (2) After mixing 10 mg of Radix Polygoni Multiflori polysaccharide (CRPS) and 6 mL of Hepes buffer (pH 6.6), slowly add the mixture to the lipid film obtained in step (1), transfer the resulting solution to a 15 mL centrifuge tube, ultrasonicate at 120 W for 5 min, centrifuge at 14000 rpm for 20 min, and pass the supernatant through 0.45 μm and 0.22 μm microporous filters in turn. Transfer the liposome solution to a centrifuge tube, centrifuge at 16000 rpm for 1 h to remove unencapsulated free OVA and CRPS. Resuspend the lower precipitate in PBS buffer solution (pH 7.4) to obtain Radix Polygoni Multiflori polysaccharide liposome (CRPS-Lip).

[0107] The particle size of Cynanchum multiflorum polysaccharide liposomes is 247.4667±3.88nm.

[0108] Example 3

[0109] Figure 7 For the vaccine preparation process, refer to Figure 7 Synthetic vaccines.

[0110] Vaccine preparation:

[0111] (1) 40 mg of egg yolk phosphatidylcholine, 10 mg of cholesterol and 0.1 mg of δ-tocopherol were dissolved in 10 mL of chloroform, transferred to a rotary evaporator at 100 rpm and rotated at 38°C under reduced pressure for 1.5 h until a light yellow uniform lipid film formed at the bottom of the bottle.

[0112] (2) After mixing 10 mg of Radix Polygoni Multiflori polysaccharide (CRPS), 10 mg of model antigen OVA and 6 mL of Hepes buffer (pH 6.6), slowly add them to the lipid film obtained in step (1), transfer the resulting solution to a 15 mL centrifuge tube, ultrasonicate at 120 W for 5 min, centrifuge at 14000 rpm for 20 min, and pass the supernatant through 0.45 μm and 0.22 μm microporous filter membranes in turn, then transfer the liposome solution to a centrifuge tube, centrifuge at 16000 rpm for 1 h to remove unencapsulated free OVA and CRPS. The lower precipitate is resuspended in PBS buffer solution (pH 7.4) to obtain Radix Polygoni Multiflori polysaccharide and antigen liposome (CRPS-OVA-Lip).

[0113] (3) Carboxymethyl chitosan (CS) was prepared into a 2% aqueous solution. The CS solution and Radix Polysaccharides Liposomes were mixed using a magnetic stirrer. The previously prepared Radix Polysaccharides Liposomes were slowly added dropwise at a volume ratio of 4:1. The mixture was stirred at 200 rpm for 12 h. The stirred solution was collected and centrifuged at 8000 rpm for 30 min. The lower precipitate was collected and resuspended in PBS. The mixture was homogenized by squeezing it back and forth through a 200 nm filter membrane using a liposome extruder for 50 to 80 times to obtain the prepared vaccine (CS-C-OVA-Lip).

[0114] Comparative Example 1

[0115] Preparation of blank liposomes:

[0116] 40 mg of egg yolk lecithin, 10 mg of cholesterol and 0.1 mg of δ-tocopherol were dissolved in 10 mL of chloroform, transferred to a rotary evaporator at 100 rpm, and rotated at 38 ° C under reduced pressure for 1.5 h. When a light yellow uniform lipid film was formed at the bottom of the bottle, 6 mL of Hepes buffer (pH 6.6) was slowly added, and the mixture was rotated at 60 rpm for 2 h until the yellow film gradually swelled and hydrated, and the solution appeared to be a light yellow emulsion. The resulting solution was transferred to a 15 mL centrifuge tube, ultrasonicated at 120 W for 5 min, and ultracentrifuged at 14000 rpm for 20 min. The supernatant was passed through 0.45 μm and 0.22 μm microporous membranes in sequence to prepare blank liposomes (C-Lip).

[0128] Example 5

[0129] In vitro drug release measurement: 5 mL of CRPS-OVA-Lip and CS-C-OVA-Lip liposome solutions were placed in dialysis bags with a molecular weight cutoff of 8000-10000 Da, and the dialysis bags were suspended in 100 mL of dialysate containing 5% PBST. The mixture was oscillated at 37°C for 2 weeks, and 3 mL of dialysate was drawn out at a fixed time period. At the same time, 3 mL of PBST solution was added to make up the balance. The release of the model antigen OVA was detected by the Coomassie Brilliant Blue method. The results were repeated three times, and the data were recorded to generate the release curve.

[0130] The results are as follows Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the in vitro drug release of CRPS-OVA-Lip and CS-C-OVA-Lip is similar, and the late release rate of liposome antigen after chitosan encapsulation is higher than that of liposome without encapsulation, indicating that chitosan encapsulation can play a certain role in sustained release of antigen. The cumulative release rate of antigens of CRPS-OVA-Lip and CS-C-OVA-Lip at 14 days is about 40%.

[0131] Example 6

[0132] The cytotoxicity of liposomes was detected by CCK-8 method. Three groups were set up: C-Lip, CRPS-OVA-Lip, and CS-C-OVA-Lip. Each group was set up with 8 drug concentrations of 250 μg / mL, 125 μg / mL, 62.5 μg / mL, 31.25 μg / mL, 15.62 μg / mL, 7.81 μg / mL, 3.90 μg / mL, and 1.95 μg / mL. In the logarithmic growth phase, cells were cultured at 1×10 4 Each well of the 96-well plate was inoculated with 1 mL of drug. A blank control group (serum-free culture medium) was set up. The cells were co-cultured at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 24 hours, and the cell viability was detected using the CCK-8 method. The optical density (OD) value of each well was measured using a multi-mode microplate detection system at a wavelength of 450 nm. The data were recorded and substituted into the formula to calculate the cell viability.

[0133]

[0134] Cytotoxicity studies were performed to elucidate the biocompatibility of the extracted polysaccharides and prepared liposomes. The cytotoxic effects of CRPS liposome nanosphere formulations (with or without CRPS) on RAW 264.7 cells were as follows: Fig. 9 As shown, CRPS and its formulations have no cytotoxicity to cells, and the cell survival rate exceeds 75% within 24 hours at a drug concentration of 0 to 250 μg / mL. This indicates that the CRPS liposome formulation (with or without CRPS) has no obvious toxicity to cells at the tested concentration and has good biocompatibility.

[0135] Flow cytometry characterization of endocytosis and cell phenotyping:

[0136] In flow cytometry, the cell concentration was adjusted to 2 × 10 6 / mL, prepare 6-well cell plates, add 1mL of different liposome drugs and culture for 48h, collect cells, stain macrophages with PE anti-mouse CD-80 and CD-86, and detect macrophage surface polarization by flow cytometry.

[0137] In the cell phagocytosis assay, 1 × 10 5 The density of cells was inoculated into 6-well plates. In order to study the uptake efficiency of different nanoparticles in macrophages, three liposomes were added to the culture medium: C-Lip, CRPS-OVA-Lip, and CS-C-OVA-Lip, and cultured for 24 hours. PBS was used to wash and prepare cell suspension, and the cell phagocytosis was statistically analyzed by flow cytometry, and the statistical data were obtained.

[0138] Fig.10 The cell phagocytosis statistics show that the fluorescence of CS-C-OVA-Lip is significantly higher than that of C-Lip and CRPS-OVA-Lip (P<0.05), indicating that CS-C-OVA-Lip can significantly increase the amount of antigen phagocytosis by macrophages.

[0139] Fig.11 As shown in the figure, the CD80 level of CS-C-OVA-Lip was significantly higher than that of other groups (P<0.05); the expression of CD86 was similar to that of CD80, and the expression of CD86 in CS-C-OVA-Lip was significantly higher than that in other groups (P<0.05). This indicates that CS-C-OVA-Lip can activate macrophages and induce macrophage M1 differentiation.

[0140] Example 7

[0141] Female ICR mice aged 4 to 6 weeks were adaptively fed for one week and randomly divided into 3 groups. CY5.5 was mixed with the drug, connected in the dark for 1 hour, and injected at a dose of 0.2 mL per mouse. The drug release in vivo was observed under a small animal in vivo imaging device at different times.

[0142] like Fig.12 As shown, the fluorescence value of OVA was higher in the early stage and lower in the later stage; the fluorescence value of CS-C-OVA-Lip was higher than that of the other two groups. The fluorescence of the OVA group was slightly higher than that of CRPS-OVA-Lip and CS-C-OVA-Lip at the beginning, and lower than that of the other two groups after 6 hours; the fluorescence of CS-C-OVA-Lip was higher than that of the other groups in the later stage, showing a certain sustained release effect, indicating that the chitosan modified liposome CS-C-OVA-Lip has the effect of slowing down the release of drugs and prolonging the drug release time.

[0143] Example 8

[0144] 8.1 Animal grouping and immunization procedures:

[0145] 105 4-6 week old ICR female mice (25-30 g / each) were purchased from Chengdu Dashuo Experimental Animal Company (SCXK (Chuan) 2022-065). The mice were divided into 7 groups and the immunization procedure was performed after one week of adaptive feeding.

[0169] result:

[0170] like Fig.13 As shown in the figure, after the immunization procedure, the spleen index of each test group increased compared with the blank group, and the spleen index of the OVA+CFA group was significantly higher than that of other treatment groups (P<0.05); the spleen index of the OVA group, CRPS group, OVA+CRPS group, CRPS-OVA-Lip group, and CS-C-OVA-Lip group was not significantly different (P>0.05). The results of mouse thymus index showed that there was no significant difference in the thymus index of the OVA+CRPS group, OVA+CFA group, CRPS-OVA-Lip group, and CS-C-OVA-Lip group (P>0.05); there was no significant difference between the OVA group and the CRPS group and the blank group (P>0.05). The results of immune organ index showed that the prepared chitosan nanoliposome CS-C-OVA-Lip had an immune-promoting effect. Chitosan nanoparticles were non-toxic to mouse organs.

[0171] On the 21st day of the immunization procedure, the spleen of mice was collected to prepare single cell suspension, and the proliferation level of spleen lymphocytes was detected by CCK-8 method. The results were as follows Fig.14 As shown. The T lymphocyte proliferation index was significantly higher than that of other experimental groups except the CRPS group (P<0.05); the B lymphocyte index increased and was significantly higher than that of other experimental groups (P<0.05). This shows that CRPS has a certain proliferation effect on T lymphocytes, and CS-C-OVA-Lip can promote the proliferation of T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes in the spleen of mice.

[0172] Effects of CS-C-OVA-Lip liposome vaccine on T lymphocyte subsets in mice Fig.15 As shown, compared with the blank group, the CS-C-OVA-Lip group can significantly increase the number of CD4 T+ cells (P<0.05), and the CRPS-OVA-Lip and complete Freund's adjuvant groups have the same effect on increasing the number of CD4 T+ cells (P>0.05); at the same time, the CS-C-OVA-Lip group can significantly increase the number of CD8 T+ cells (P<0.05).

[0173] On days 7, 14, 21, and 28 after immunization, the levels of total OVA-specific IgG antibodies in mouse sera were continuously measured. Fig.16 It can be seen that on the 7th and 14th days, the specific IgG antibody level of the CS-C-OVA-Lip group was significantly higher than that of other experimental treatment groups (P<0.05), and on the 21st and 28th days, the IgG antibody level of the CS-C-OVA-Lip group was significantly higher than that of other experimental groups except CRPS-OVA-Lip (P<0.05); during all the detection time, the specific IgG antibody levels of all experimental groups except the blank group showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing, reaching a high level on the 21st day, and the CS-C-OVA-Lip group and the CRPS-OVA-Lip group still had a high level on the 28th day. This shows that both have good antigen sustained release effects and the sustained release effect of nanoparticles CS-C-OVA-Lip is better.

[0174] After the last immunization, the spleen of each group of mice was collected aseptically, total RNA was extracted, and the expression of cytokines INF-γ, IL-4, IL-6, and CD44 was detected by PCR technology. The results of each cytokine in the spleen are as follows Fig.17As shown in the results, the level of cytokine INF-γ in the CS-C-OVA-Lip group was significantly higher than that in the other experimental groups (P<0.05), there was no significant difference between the CRPS-OVA-Lip group and the OVA+CFA group (P>0.05), and there was no significant difference between the blank group and the free OVA group and the CRPS group (P>0.05). The level of cytokine IL-4 in the spleen in the CS-C-OVA-Lip group was significantly higher than that in the other experimental groups (P<0.05), and its cytokine level was similar to that of INF-γ; The expression level of cytokine IL-6 in the C-OVA-Lip group was significantly higher than that in the other experimental groups (P<0.05), and there was no significant difference between the blank group and the OVA group, CRPS group and OVA+CRPS group (P<0.05). As can be seen from the figure, the expression level of CD44 in the CS-C-OVA-Lip group was significantly higher than that in the other groups (P<0.05), and there were significant differences among the CRPS-OVA-Lip group, OVA+CFA group, OVA+CRPS group, CRPS group, OVA group and blank group (P<0.05).
