Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biomedical technologies, and particularly relates to a near-infrared light-induced semiconductor polymer and a preparation method and application thereof, a hydrolysis product of the near-infrared light-induced semiconductor polymer and an application thereof, a side-chain modified polymer and a preparation method and application thereof, a drug delivery system and a preparation method and application thereof, and a light-stimulus-responsive nano-delivery system and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) lacks clear molecular targets and significant tumor heterogeneity. Common treatment methods include surgery and chemotherapy. These standard treatment methods severely limit their efficacy due to significant side effects and their adverse effects on the host immune system. In particular, the unique immunosuppressive tumor immune microenvironment of TNBC further limits the effect of immunotherapy. The immune system checkpoint blockade (ICB) method has good application prospects in permanently modifying target gene expression and stimulating the patient's immune system to fight cancer cells. Therefore, exploring and developing effective strategies to stimulate and prolong the immunotherapy time and improve the immunotherapy effect is of great significance in cancer treatment.

[0003] Immunogenic cell death (ICD) releases damage-associated molecules, including adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP), surface-exposed calreticulin (CALR), etc., which induce immune responses and play a key role in activating the tumor microenvironment. In particular, when combined with ICB, ICD can effectively activate and significantly enhance tumor-specific immune responses. During the treatment process of the commonly used photothermal therapy (PTT), the high temperature generated will cause irreversible damage to normal tissues and tissue edema. In contrast, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has more controllable spatiotemporality and safety. PDT shows great potential in highly efficient tumor treatment by inducing immunogenic cell death in tumors and combining gene editing technology to amplify the immune response.

[0004] Semiconductor polymer nanomaterials composed of polymers have become a versatile near-infrared (NIR) absorption / emission biomaterial for molecular imaging, phototherapy, and biological regulation, etc. Existing near-infrared emission materials mainly include inorganic near-infrared quantum dots, halide perovskites and other materials, as well as various organic near-infrared materials including traditional fluorescent small molecule materials, conjugated polymers, stable luminescent radicals, thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials, and metal-organic complex phosphorescent materials, etc. Among many near-infrared emission materials in molecular imaging applications, the fluorescence emission of most materials mainly focuses on region I (650 - 900 nm). However, due to more imaging background interference factors, weak penetration power, and low signal-to-noise ratio in region I, the imaging effect of the materials is poor, which limits the application of near-infrared emission materials in the field of biological imaging.

[0143] Test examples

[0144] Performance test of OSP, OPT, OPTC, and OPTC-RNP prepared in Example 1

[0145] The OPTC-RNP prepared in Example 1 was measured by a two-region fluorescence emission spectrometer. Figure 1 This is the fluorescence emission spectrum of OPTC-RNP. From the measurement of the fluorescence spectrum, it can be seen that the fluorescence emission of the OPTC-RNP prepared in the present invention is in the two-region position, meeting the two-region imaging conditions.

[0146] Figure 2 This is the UV-visible absorption spectra of OSP, OPT, OPTC, TK, and Ce6. It can be seen that OPTC-RNP has near-infrared absorption characteristics.

[0147] Figure 3 This is the transmission electron microscope (TEM) image of OPTC-RNP. It can be seen that OPTC-RNP successfully self-assembled into nanoparticles.

[0148] The surface charges (zeta potential, mV) of OSP, OPT, OPTC, and OPTC-RNP were measured by dynamic light scattering method.

[0149] Figure 4These are the dynamic light scattering (DLS) curves of OPTC and OPTC-RNP. It can be seen that the nanoparticles formed after OPTC is conjugated with RNP slightly increase.

[0150] Figure 5 These are the Zeta potential diagrams of OSP, OPT, OPTC, and OPTC-RNP. It can be seen that the charge of OPT modified by NH2-PEG-NH2 and the TK side chain changes from positive (OSP) to negative, and after encapsulating Ce6 and conjugating with RNP, the charge value is stable.

[0151] The generation of singlet oxygen is detected by measuring the absorption intensity at 420 nm in the ultraviolet-visible absorption spectrum. Figure 6 These are the relative absorbances of 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran (DPBF) after adding OPTC-RNP with and without NIR irradiation (660 nm). It can be seen that OPTC-RNP successfully generates singlet oxygen 1 O2.

[0152] The residual amount of RNP in OPTC-RNP is determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Figure 7 These are the SDS-PAGE diagrams of the residual amount of RNP in OPTC-RNP after NIR irradiation for different times. It can be seen that the response group TK between OPTC and RNP is successfully cleaved under near-infrared light illumination conditions.

[0153] Figure 8 These are the RNP release diagrams of OPTC-RNP corresponding to different NIR irradiation times. It is calculated by subtracting the original residual amount in OPTC-RNP using Image J. It can be seen that the group between OPTC and RNP is successfully cleaved under near-infrared light illumination conditions, and RNP is effectively released.

[0154] The cellular internalization of OPTC-RNP@CM is studied using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). Figure 9 These are the CLSM images of OPTC-RNP labeled with EGFP (enhanced green fluorescent protein) incubated with 4T1 cells for 6 h. Blue, DAPI (4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole); green, EGFP-labeled Cas9 protein, red, CM-Dil (live cell tracer). It can be seen that OPTC-RNP is successfully taken up by 4T1 cells.

[0155] The nanoparticle drug OPTC-RNP@CM (1 mg / mL, 200 μL) is intravenously injected into breast cancer-bearing mice. Figure 10To detect the distribution of OPTC-RNP in mice at different time points using a second near-infrared in vivo imager, it was found that after intravenous injection of OPTC-RNP into breast cancer-bearing mice, it mainly accumulated in the tumors and livers of the mice.

[0156] Figure 11 For the changes in the signal intensity of OPTC-RNP in the livers and tumors of mice at different time points, it was found that 24 hours after intravenous injection of OPTC-RNP into breast cancer-bearing mice, the fluorescence intensity was the strongest at the tumor sites of the mice.

[0157] The mice were euthanized 48 hours after administration (OPTC-RNP), and two-region imaging analysis diagrams of the main organs and tumor tissues were collected. See Figure 12 , it was found that after intravenous injection of OPTC-RNP into breast cancer-bearing mice, it accumulated in the tumors, spleens, and livers of the mice.

[0158] 4T1 cells were pre-seeded in 24-well plates and cultured for 24 hours, then co-incubated with different treatment groups in an incubator at 37 °C for 6 hours. The cells were washed with PBS to remove the nanoparticles that did not enter the cells. Subsequently, the medium was replaced with serum-free DMEM medium, and the 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) probe was added to the wells and incubated in the dark for 30 minutes. The 4T1 cells were irradiated with a 660 nm laser. After irradiation, the cells were washed with PBS. The cells were observed with a Thunder imaging system. DCFH-DA can be oxidized by free radicals to highly fluorescent DCF, and the green fluorescence inside the cells was observed and recorded. Group I: PBS / NIR, Group II: OPTC, Group III: OPTC / NIR, Group IV: OPTC-RNP, Group V: OPTC-RNP / NIR, Figure 13 For the DCF (detecting 1 O2) fluorescence staining images of 4T1 cells in different treatment groups. It was found that singlet oxygen 1 O2 was successfully generated after OPTC-RNP was irradiated with NIR.

[0159] The cells were pre-seeded in 24-well plates and incubated for 24 hours. They were treated with different nano-drugs respectively, and then irradiated with a 660 nm laser. After washing with PBS, 100 μL of calcein acetoxymethyl ester / propidium iodide (Calcein AM / PI) detection working solution was added to each well. After incubating in the dark at 37 °C for 30 minutes, the staining effect was observed under Thunder, Figure 14 For the live / dead fluorescence staining images of 4T1 cells in different treatment groups. Green, Calcein-AM (calcein); red, PI (propidium iodide), scale bar: 300 μm, grouping same as Figure 13 , it was found that a large number of 4T1 cells were killed after OPTC-RNP was irradiated with NIR.

[0160] Take a part of the tumor tissue collected in each group, cut it into small pieces, process it with collagenase according to the instructions, then grind it into a homogenate and filter it through a sieve. Wash the filtered single-cell suspension with pre-cooled PBS, centrifuge to discard the supernatant and wash away cell debris, then resuspend the washed cells with 2% BSA, add the corresponding antibodies for staining, and finally analyze using a multi-color analytical flow cytometer. Figure 15 To detect the apoptosis of 4T1 cells under different treatment conditions by flow cytometry, the grouping is the same as Figure 13 , it can be seen that OPTC-RNP causes apoptosis of 4T1 cells after being irradiated with NIR.

[0161] Collect the genomic DNA of 4T1 cells using a universal genomic DNA extraction kit. Amplify the DNA fragment targeted by sgRNA with high-fidelity DNA polymerase using the following primers: AGTACACCACTAACGCAAGC. To reduce non-specific amplification, use a touchdown polymerase chain reaction (PCR) program [incubate at 98°C for 30 s, (incubate at 98°C for 10 s, 60°C for 20 s, 72°C for 20 s) for 35 cycles, incubate at 72°C for 120 s]. After gel recovery and purification using a DNA purification kit, detect the generation frequency of indels according to the T7 endonuclease kit. Analyze the purified DNA by 2% agarose gel electrophoresis. Calculate the frequency of indel formation through ImageJ. Figure 16 For detecting the gene mutation frequency of PD-L1 in 4T1 cells after different treatments by the T7EI method, the grouping is the same as Figure 13 , it can be seen that RNP is successfully released after NIR irradiation and a large number of PD-L1 genes in 4T1 cells are knocked out.

[0162] Take a part of the tumor tissue collected in each group, cut the tissue into small pieces, and then process it to extract proteins according to the instructions of Western and IP cell lysis buffer. Load and separate equal amounts of total protein on an SDS / PAGE gel and transfer it to a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane. Block the sample with a blocking solution containing 5% non-fat milk powder at room temperature for 2 h. After blocking, wash the membrane 3 times with TBST, 10 min each time, and then incubate with the corresponding primary antibody respectively. Incubate overnight at 4°C. After incubation, wash 3 times with TBST, 10 min each time. Then incubate with the secondary antibody at room temperature for 1 h. After incubation, wash the membrane 5 times in TBST buffer, 10 min each time. Finally, visualize the target protein bands by ECL (enhanced chemiluminescence reagent), and obtain and analyze the blot image using an imaging system. Figure 17 For WB detection of the expression level of PD-L1 in 4T1 cells after different treatments, the grouping is the same as Figure 13, it can be seen that the expression level of 4T1 cells after being treated with OPTC-RNP / NIR is significantly reduced.

[0163] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
