Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biomedical technology and specifically relates to an engineered extracellular vesicle targeting carcinoembryonic chondroitin sulfate-positive cells and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a general term for various membrane-structured vesicles released by cells. Due to their different diameters and occurrence modes, they are divided into exosomes (diameter 30-150nm), microvesicles (diameter 100-1000nm), apoptotic bodies (diameter 100-5000nm), oncosomes (diameter 1-10μm), etc. Extracellular vesicles have a nanoscale lipid inclusion structure, which contains a variety of proteins, nucleic acids and metabolites, regulating the biological functions of target cells to achieve intercellular communication.

[0003] Extracellular vesicles have many characteristics such as barrier penetration, good biocompatibility, and low immunogenicity, making them ideal drug delivery carriers. The engineered extracellular vesicles secreted by cells obtained by engineering have the advantages of tissue and organ targeting.

[0004] Oncofetal chondroitin sulfate ofCS was reported by Ali Salanti's research group at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark in 2015 in the journal Cancer Cell. It was found that a common class of glycosaminoglycan molecules exists in most human cancer cells and placental trophoblast cells. In addition, through the study of malaria, it was known that the Plasmodium-derived protein VAR2CSA binds to ofCS, and there are several shortest binding peptides (ofCS-Binding Peptides, ofCSbps) ofCS in VAR2CSA. Recombinant VAR2CSA protein or synthetic ofCS-BPs can be used as probes to achieve the diagnosis and treatment of placental diseases and cancer.

[0005] Invention patents with Chinese authorization numbers CN109589416B, CN109568289B and CN109589413B disclose the preparation method and application of nanoparticle carriers targeting ofCS based on ofCS-BPs. However, the assembly steps of artificially synthesized ofCS-BPs and nanoparticles are cumbersome and costly, and the obtained nanoparticle carriers themselves have certain toxicity. In order to overcome and optimize these defects, we constructed a method for preparing ofCS-targeted engineered extracellular vesicles, overexpressed ofCSbps-Lamp2b-eGFP fusion protein in HEK293F cells by genetic engineering and collected the secreted extracellular vesicles. The engineered extracellular vesicles were successfully targeted and enriched in placental trophoblast cells. Summary of the invention

Because the extracellular vesicles have a nanoscale lipid inclusion structure, the diagnosis and treatment related molecules that have been clinically applied or are being studied in preclinical studies can be delivered to the target site.
