[0002] Tumor recurrence and metastasis after surgery are major problems that need to be solved in cancer treatment. Although surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy can remove primary tumors, insufficient regulation of the postoperative microenvironment often leads to recurrence of residual tumor cells and even metastasis to distant sites, significantly reducing the patient's survival rate and quality of life. Therefore, exploring new adjuvant treatments that can effectively regulate the postoperative microenvironment and inhibit tumor recurrence and metastasis has important scientific significance and clinical value.

[0003] Olive leaf extract is a natural product extracted from traditional herbal plants, rich in compounds such as oleuropein, olive glycosides and luteolin. In tumor treatment, although oleuropein has been shown to have certain effects, the efficacy of single olive leaf extract is limited, and its intensity and mechanism of action have not been fully utilized. Therefore, it is necessary to compound olive leaf extract and prepare drugs with definite therapeutic effects. Summary of the invention

[0025] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the mass ratio of the olive leaf extract, mesenchymal stem cell exosomes and T lymphocyte exosomes is (10-20): (15-30): (4-10), and the mass ratio can be any ratio of the following values: (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20): (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30): (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10). For example, in one embodiment, the mass ratio is 10:15:4, or 14:20:6, or 18:25:8, or 20:30:10.

[0026] The olive leaf extract of the present invention includes an ethanol extract of olive leaves, and the mass percentage of oleuropein in the dry powder of the olive leaf extract is not less than 45%, and the mass percentage of oleuropein is not less than 4%. When the present invention performs the extraction, the solvent used includes an ethanol aqueous solution, such as selecting a 70-90% ethanol aqueous solution in one embodiment, and mixing it according to a solid-liquid ratio of 1:5-1:15, and then wetting it at room temperature for 20-60 minutes to ensure that the solvent evenly penetrates into the leaf tissue. The present invention selects healthy and mildew-free olive leaves, washes and dries them, and then crushes them into 40-100 mesh particles, and then performs the wetting. The room temperature referred to in the present invention refers to 20-30°C.

[0027] The invention adopts a vaporization extraction method to extract from moistened olive leaf liquid. In a specific embodiment, the moistened olive leaf liquid is placed in a vacuum extraction device, and the vacuum degree is adjusted to -0.05--0.08MPa; at 60-80°C, a 70%-90% ethanol solution preheated to 40-50°C is injected, and the solvent is rapidly vaporized to form an internal and external pressure difference, thereby promoting the rapid release of active components in cells; the extraction is continuously stirred for 12 hours, and each batch is extracted 2-3 times; the extract is filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to 1 / 3-1 / 4 of the original volume for concentration.

[0028] The present invention elutes the reduced pressure concentrate. In one embodiment, LSA type macroporous adsorption resin is used for purification, deionized water is used for elution, the sample flow rate is 5BV / h~15BV / h, and 20%~80% ethanol aqueous solution is used for analysis, and the analysis flow rate is 5BV / h~15BV / h.

[0029] The present invention concentrates the above-mentioned eluent to a viscous state, and then obtains olive leaf extract powder after drying. The drying method includes spray drying, vacuum freeze drying or microwave drying. In one embodiment, the drying is carried out by a vacuum freeze drying method to obtain olive leaf extract freeze-dried powder. The vacuum degree of the vacuum freeze drying of the present invention can be set to 0.1-0.5mbar, pre-frozen to -40°C, gradually warmed to -10°C-20°C, and freeze-dried for 12-48 hours. The olive leaf extract freeze-dried powder prepared by the present invention is light yellow or light green powder in appearance detection, without odor; the content of oleuropein and olive glycoside is detected by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and it is found that the content of oleuropein is 45-65%, the content of olive glycoside is 4-8%, and the content of luteolin is 2%-8%.

[0030] The mesenchymal stem cell exosomes described in the present invention include the culture of mesenchymal stem cells in the preparation process, and after subculturing to 3 to 4 generations, they are cultured in a serum-free medium. As in the embodiments of the present invention, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells are isolated from the umbilical cord of a healthy full-term delivery, and the markers N-cadherin, CD44, RANKL, CD105, CD56 and / or CD90 are detected; the verified cells are cultured under any conventional conditions for mesenchymal stem cell culture; after subculturing to 3 to 4 generations, the serum-free medium without animal components and proteins is replaced; wherein the conventional culture medium for mesenchymal stem cells can be DMEM / F12 containing 5% hPL, 1% L-Glut and 1% Pen / Strep, and cultured in a culture bottle. The serum-free culture medium described in the present invention, in one embodiment, uses Rohto Pharmaceutical AOF culture medium.

[0031] The present invention cultured the mesenchymal stem cells after passage using a serum-free medium. When the cells reached 70-80% fusion, the serum-free medium was continued to be used for 40-48 hours to promote exosome secretion.

The above cell lines were provided by the JCRB Cell Collection Center.

[0079] Experimental cells Lung cancer cells A549, breast cancer cells MCF-7, liver cancer cells HepG2, cervical cancer cells Hela, gastric cancer cells SNU-1, prostate cancer cells PC3, and colon cancer cells SW480 were resuscitated in a 37°C water bath for 90 seconds and then centrifuged at 1000 rpm. The centrifuged cells were cultured in the prepared mixed culture medium; when the cell density grew to about 80%, the cells were passaged, the cells were rinsed twice with PBS, 0.25% trypsin was added, and digested at 37°C for 90 seconds. The culture flask was gently shaken to make 90% of the cells fall off, and then 5 mL of mixed culture medium was added to terminate the digestion. Finally, the cells were centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes and divided into culture flasks at a ratio of 1:3 for continued culture.

[0080] Cells in the logarithmic growth phase were inoculated in a 96-well plate, and three duplicate wells were set; after overnight attachment, 10 μL of the injection solution prepared in Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6 was directly added to the culture medium, gently shaken to mix, and placed in a 37°C 5% CO2 incubator for continued cultivation; at the detection time point of 2d (48h), the cells were taken out, the cell supernatant was discarded, and gently washed twice with PBS; the CCK-8 reagent prepared in advance was added to the cells, 100 μL / well; after incubation at 37°C for 2 hours, the absorbance value at 450nm was detected with a marker. The absorbance of cells not treated with the injection solution was used as the 100% cell activity control at each time point, and etoposide (VP16) was used as a positive control.

[0081] The cytotoxicity of the injections of Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6 on seven tumor cell lines in the logarithmic growth phase is shown in Table 1: the compound injections prepared in Examples 1 to 4 all showed significant tumor cell proliferation inhibition, especially Example 3 had the best effect, with an inhibition rate of 78%±4% on lung cancer A549, 72%±5% on breast cancer MCF-7, 82%±5% on liver cancer HepG2, 74%±4% on cervical cancer Hela, 70%±6% on gastric cancer SNU-1, 76%±5% on prostate cancer PC3, and 79%±4% on colon cancer SW480.

[0082] Compared with Examples 1 to 4, the injections prepared in Comparative Examples 1 to 6 showed significantly lower inhibition rates, indicating that each individual component had a weak inhibitory effect on tumor cell proliferation and lacked a synergistic effect between the components. In particular, the inhibition rates of Comparative Examples 4 and 6 were significantly lower than those of the other groups. This indicates that when only a single component acts, it cannot effectively exert a synergistic anti-tumor effect, and the synergistic effect of olive leaf extract and exosomes is the key to improving the efficacy.

[0085] 2. ELISA method for immune factor regulation

[0086] The effects of the injections prepared in Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6 on the function of immune cells were detected by ELISA, and their regulatory effects on the secretion of immune factors interferon-γ (IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) were evaluated.

[0087] In this experiment, peripheral blood mononuclear cells, T lymphocytes and RAW 264.7 macrophages were selected, and the control groups included a negative control (PBS solution) and a positive control (immune activator: anti-CD3 antibody).

[0088] Cell culture conditions: PBMCs were isolated from the peripheral blood of healthy volunteers by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation and cultured in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% penicillin / streptomycin. T lymphocytes and RAW 264.7 macrophages were cultured in RPMI-1640 and DMEM medium, respectively, also supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin / streptomycin. All cells were cultured in an incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2.

[0089] The drug volume for each experimental treatment was 100 μL, and it was ensured that each experimental group was repeated at least three times. After cell treatment, the culture was continued at 37 ° C and 5% CO2 for 48 hours. The cell supernatant of each group was collected for cytokine detection, and each experimental group was repeated at least three times. The absorbance (OD value) was read at the corresponding wavelength by an ELISA instrument, and the cytokine concentration in each group of samples was calculated according to the standard curve. As shown in Table 2, the compound injection of the embodiment group (1 to 4) significantly improved the level of immune factors, especially in the concentration of IFN-γ and TNF-α, indicating that the compound injection can effectively activate the immune system and enhance the anti-tumor immune response. Example 3 showed the strongest immune activation effect, which may be due to the synergistic effect between olive leaf extract and T lymphocyte exosomes, and the ratio was appropriate. The comparative examples containing only olive leaf extract or mesenchymal stem cell exosomes showed a significantly weakened immune activation effect, especially in comparative examples 4 and 6, where the cytokine levels were low, indicating that the stimulation of the immune system by using these components alone was relatively limited.

[0092] 3. Tumor recurrence inhibition effect

[0093] 120 healthy C57BL / 6 mice were selected as experimental animals to establish an animal model of tumor postoperative repair. Human non-small cell lung cancer cells A549 were inoculated subcutaneously on the back of mice, with each mouse injected with approximately 1×10 6 When the tumor volume grows to 50mm 3 When the tumor is removed, surgery is performed. All mice will be randomly assigned to each group to ensure that the mice in each group are balanced in terms of weight, tumor size and gender. There are 10 mice in each group, for a total of 12 groups. The groups include Example 1 to 4 groups, Comparative Example 1 to 6 groups, a negative control group (normal saline) and a positive control group (interferon). During the recovery period after surgery, the compound injection or the solution of different control groups is administered by intraperitoneal injection. The injection dose is 10 mg / kg body weight, and the injection is continued for 7 days.

[0094] The tumor recurrence and weight changes of mice were measured regularly to evaluate the effect of the compound injection. The mice in each group were monitored for tumor recurrence by imaging examination (ultrasound and CT scan), and the recurrence rate was calculated. At the same time, the mice were weighed regularly to evaluate their weight changes as an indicator of overall health and postoperative recovery. After the treatment, 3 mice in each group were randomly selected, and the surgical resection site and surrounding tissues were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde solution, and paraffin sections were prepared routinely. The sections were stained with anti-VEGF antibodies to detect the expression levels of angiogenesis-related proteins. The distribution and number of VEGF-positive cells were observed by optical microscopy. ImageJ software was used to count the area and density of positive cells and compare the differences between the groups.

[0095] The results are shown in Table 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the mice in the embodiment group showed a significant tumor recurrence rate inhibition effect, especially in the embodiment 4 group, the tumor recurrence rate was the lowest (10% ± 3%). The recurrence rate of the embodiment group was generally lower than that of the control group, indicating that the compound injection had a good effect on postoperative tumor repair. Among the control groups, the recurrence rate of the negative control group was the highest, reaching 70% ± 8%, proving that the tumor recurrence in the group lacking therapeutic intervention was more serious. The recurrence rate of the positive control group (interferon group) was 32% ± 5%, showing a certain effect, but still not as good as the embodiment group.

[0096] The results are as follows Figure 6As shown, the mice in the Example groups also showed a significant advantage in weight recovery, especially in Example 4 group (+10% ± 4%), while the negative control group showed a weight loss (-8% ± 4%). The change in body weight reflects the postoperative recovery. The weight gain of the mice in the Example groups indicates that the compound injection has a positive effect on postoperative recovery. The mice in the control groups, especially the comparative group and the positive control group, had limited or decreased weight changes, indicating that the effects of these individual components were relatively weak.

[0097] The experimental data of VEGF positive rate are as follows Figure 7 As shown, the embodiment groups (groups 1-4) all showed a high VEGF positivity rate (72% to 85%), indicating that the compound injection may help postoperative tissue repair and reduce tumor recurrence by promoting angiogenesis. In contrast, the VEGF positivity rate of the negative control group (normal saline) was low (30% ± 7%), showing that the tissue repair effect of normal saline treatment alone was limited. The VEGF positivity rate of the positive control group (interferon) was 78% ± 5%, indicating that it has a certain angiogenesis-promoting effect, but the effect of the compound injection is more significant to a certain extent. The VEGF positivity rate of comparative examples 1 to 6 groups was lower than that of the embodiment group as a whole, further confirming the advantages of the compound injection.

[0098] In summary, the compound injection (Examples 1 to 4) has a significant positive effect on tumor postoperative recovery, can effectively reduce tumor recurrence rate and promote weight recovery of mice. In addition, the VEGF positive rate of the Example group is high, indicating that the compound injection has a good effect in promoting angiogenesis, further supporting its ability to reduce tumor recurrence by improving angiogenesis and tissue repair, and providing its potential as a postoperative adjuvant therapy.
