Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical preparations, and in particular relates to a nano-diagnostic and therapeutic agent capable of monitoring the course of AS. Background Art

[0002] Atherosclerosis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by endothelial cell dysfunction, inflammatory responses, lipid metabolism disorders, and oxidative stress, primarily affecting the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems. Notably, AS develops insidiously and suddenly without warning, often leading to late-stage disease detection, with plaques on the verge of rupture and a high risk of acute cardiovascular events such as ischemic stroke and coronary heart disease. Therefore, developing a precise diagnostic and treatment approach for AS that combines disease progression monitoring with treatment is crucial.

[0003] In the prior art, molecular imaging technology, as a non-invasive diagnostic technology, can detect abnormalities before the disease has organic lesions, providing an effective means for the diagnosis of AS. Among them, fluorescence imaging is widely used in the diagnosis of AS due to its high sensitivity. For example, Chinese patent CN116836188A discloses a fluorescent probe for detecting oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL), which is delivered into macrophages for early detection of AS. Another example is Chinese patent CN111956610B, which discloses a nano-drug carrier for the diagnosis and treatment of atherosclerosis, which is composed of an active oxygen-responsive dicarbonyl-bonded fluorescent molecule and a cyclodextrin loaded with drugs in the lumen. It can enter the plaque with the help of the extravasation of damaged blood vessels, and responsively release fluorescent molecules and drugs, thereby achieving the diagnosis and treatment of AS lesions. Despite the presence of extravasation through leaky vasculature and inflammatory cell-mediated sequestration (ELVIS) at the plaque site, macrophages reside beneath the endothelial barrier, and the plaque structure is complex, covered by a fibrous cap composed of a collagen-rich matrix and proliferating smooth muscle cells. Therefore, the ELVIS effect at the plaque site significantly limits the penetration efficiency of fluorescent probes that rely solely on passive diffusion, significantly limiting diagnostic sensitivity. Furthermore, because the size of the endothelial gap is not positively correlated with the course of AS, passive diffusion-based fluorescent probe imaging is difficult to accurately reflect the progression of the disease and cannot achieve real-time monitoring of the AS course.

[0004] Endothelial cell dysfunction is the initiating link in the development and progression of AS. Circulating low-density lipoprotein (LDL) accumulates at the lesion site, continuously infiltrates into the subendothelial matrix, and is oxidatively modified by subendothelial reactive oxygen species (ROS) to form ox-LDL. Ox-LDL stimulates endothelial cells to secrete large amounts of adhesion molecules (such as VCAM-1) and chemokines (such as MCP-1), recruiting circulating monocytes to the site of injury. These monocytes migrate and infiltrate the subendothelium, further differentiating into macrophages. Macrophages continuously phagocytize accumulated ox-LDL to form foam cells. Excessive lipid accumulation triggers cell necrosis, ultimately forming fibrous plaques. Furthermore, studies have shown that LDL crosses the endothelial barrier primarily through active transport mechanisms during the pathological process of AS. The above research background suggests that nano-diagnostic and therapeutic agents can be delivered across the endothelium by riding on LDL, improving the migration efficiency across the endothelial barrier through active transport that is independent of the ELVIS effect. At the same time, combined with the characteristics that LDL migration and accumulation under the vascular endothelium are positively correlated with the disease progression of AS, dynamic monitoring of the AS disease progression can be achieved.

[0005] In current research, strategies to treat AS by scavenging ROS and alleviating inflammation have received widespread attention. For example, small molecule antioxidant drugs such as probucol, vitamin C, and vitamin E, however, due to their nonspecific distribution and rapid clearance in the body, they struggle to achieve effective concentrations locally in plaques, limiting their therapeutic efficacy in treating AS. The emergence of antioxidant nanozymes with ROS-scavenging capabilities offers new avenues for the treatment of AS. These functional nanozymes possess activities similar to those of natural antioxidant enzymes (such as SOD, CAT, and GPx). They possess highly efficient ROS-scavenging abilities, can improve the oxidative stress microenvironment in plaques, inhibit LDL oxidation, and slow AS progression.

[0006] The present invention prepares a nano-diagnostic agent capable of monitoring the course of AS by screening a series of LDL adsorption functional polymers, assembling them with antioxidant nanozymes, phospholipids, auxiliary lipids, fluorescent probe complexes and drugs with anti-AS functions. The nano-diagnostic agent uses LDL adsorption functional polymers and auxiliary lipids to ride on LDL to achieve active transport across the endothelial barrier and improve the efficiency of plaque penetration; uses the fluorescent probe complex to perform imaging diagnostic functions, uses the migration rate of LDL to the subendothelium as a monitoring marker, and establishes plaque-specific imaging directly related to the course of AS; uses antioxidant nanozymes to clear ROS in the microenvironment, blocks the vicious cycle of "oxidative stress-inflammatory response", intervenes in LDL, a key pathogenic factor of AS, and inhibits LDL oxidation; and synergizes antioxidant nanozymes with anti-AS drugs to achieve multi-effect treatment of AS. In summary, the present invention proposes an innovative integrated strategy for monitoring the course of AS and diagnosis and treatment. Summary of the Invention

Stir magnetically at room temperature for 1 hour, transfer to a round-bottom flask, and evaporate under reduced pressure at 60 ° C for 1 hour to form a uniform film. Add 3 mL of deionized water to the round-bottom flask, place it on a rotary evaporator for 0.5 hours, ultrasonically ultrasonicate it at 200w power for 5 minutes, and extrude it through the membrane 5 times to make the particle size uniform. The resulting solution was mixed with 7.5 mg DSPE-PEG-heparin from Example 2 and incubated at 37 ° C at 100 rpm for 4 hours to obtain the nano-diagnostic and therapeutic agent.

[0079] Experimental Example 1: Determination of particle size distribution and drug encapsulation efficiency of nano-diagnostic agents

[0080] 1 mL of the nano-diagnostic and therapeutic agent obtained in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-5 was accurately measured and placed in a 10 mL volumetric flask, diluted to the scale with water, and the particle size of the nano-diagnostic and therapeutic agent was measured.

[0081] The ultrafiltration method was used to determine the encapsulation efficiency of the loaded drug in the nano-diagnostic agent. 0.5 mL of the nano-diagnostic agent was added to the inner tube of an ultrafiltration tube with a molecular weight cutoff of 100 kDa, centrifuged at 2000 rpm for 30 min, and the preparation in the inner tube was resuspended with 0.5 mL of deionized water. 0.2 mL was added to 1.8 mL of methanol, vortexed for 3 min to break the emulsion, and the encapsulated drug concentration C1 was detected and calculated by HPLC. In addition, 0.2 mL of the nano-diagnostic agent before ultrafiltration centrifugation was taken, and the total concentration of the drug C0 was detected after breaking the emulsion using the same method, and the encapsulation efficiency EE% of the nano-diagnostic agent was calculated.

[0082]

[0083] Depend on Figure 1 It can be seen that the particle size distribution of Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-4 is uniform, all around 20 nm, and their particle sizes are all within the range of being able to take LDL to achieve active transendothelial transport (particle size is below 40 nm). However, the particle size of the nano-diagnostic agent prepared in Comparative Example 5 is about 56 nm, which is too large to be conducive to taking LDL to achieve transendothelial transport, so this prescription is not used for the functional evaluation of subsequent nano-diagnostic agents. Except for Comparative Example 3, which has no loaded drug, the drug encapsulation efficiency of Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1, 2, 4, and 5 is all above 85%, which can encapsulate drugs well.

[0084] Experimental Example 2 Anti-LDL Oxidation Ability of Nano-Therapeutic Agents

[0085] The anti-LDL oxidation ability of the nano-diagnostic agent was investigated using a malondialdehyde (MDA) assay kit. The oxidation product of LDL, MDA, can condense with thiobarbituric acid to form a red product with a maximum absorption peak at 532 nm. 1 mL of LDL solution (2 mg / mL) was mixed with 1 mL of the nano-diagnostic agent obtained in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-4, respectively, and then 50 μM CuSO4 solution and 150 μM H2O2 were added to start oxidation. The mixture was incubated at 37 ° C. on a shaker at 120 rpm, and samples were taken at 0 h and 24 h, respectively, to measure the MDA content.

[0086] like Figure 2 As shown, the nano-diagnostic and therapeutic agents obtained in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 2 and 3 can effectively inhibit the oxidation of LDL within 24 hours, while Comparative Example 1 can reduce the oxidation of LDL to a certain extent, and the LDL co-incubated with Comparative Example 4 is largely oxidized within 24 hours. It proves that although small molecule antioxidants can have a certain protective effect on LDL, their antioxidant effect is weak; in contrast, antioxidant nanozymes show strong anti-LDL oxidation function, reflecting the advantages of antioxidant nanozymes.

[0087] Experimental Example 3 Adsorption performance of nano-diagnostic and therapeutic agents on LDL

[0088] Microthermophoresis (MST) detects the interaction between molecules by measuring the change in the swimming speed of molecules in the test solution in a temperature gradient field, and reflects the magnitude of the intermolecular binding force by calculating the dissociation constant Kd.

[0089] LDL solution (2mg / mL) and 1.5mol / L (pH 9.0) carbonate buffer were mixed in a volume ratio of 9: 1, 0.2mg of FITC powder was accurately weighed and added to the mixed solution, and the reaction was stirred in the dark for 12h at 4°C. The solution was then transferred to a dialysis bag (molecular weight cutoff of 8-14kDa), dialyzed overnight at 4°C to remove free FITC, and the solution in the bag was collected to obtain FITC-LDL. 16 microcentrifuge tubes were taken, and the nano-diagnostic agents obtained in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were used as mother liquors. 16 different aqueous solutions of preparations with a concentration gradient were prepared using a doubling dilution method, each with a volume of 10μL; 10μL of FITC-LDL was then added sequentially and mixed with a pipette. 16 MST standard capillaries were taken, each inserted into a microcentrifuge tube, and the sample was drawn to a height of more than two-thirds of the capillary. Place the sample-loaded capillaries on the sample loading platform in order, open the operating software, select the blue light channel, set the excitation power to 20%, and the MST power to medium for testing.

[0090] like Figure 3As shown, the Kd of the nano-therapeutic agent obtained in Example 1 and LDL is 33.0 μM, the Kd of the nano-therapeutic agent obtained in Example 2 and LDL is 20.6 μM, the Kd of the nano-therapeutic agent obtained in Example 3 and LDL is 1.6 μM, the Kd of the nano-therapeutic agent obtained in Example 4 and LDL is 0.7 μM, the Kd of the nano-therapeutic agent obtained in Comparative Example 1 and LDL is 1.5 μM, the Kd of the nano-therapeutic agent obtained in Comparative Example 3 and LDL is 118 μM, and the Kd of the nano-therapeutic agent obtained in Comparative Example 4 and LDL is 45.1 μM, indicating that the nano-therapeutic agents obtained in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1, 3, and 4 can all bind to LDL and have the potential to ride LDL across the endothelium. However, the Kd values ​​measured in Comparative Examples 3 and 4 are significantly higher than those in Examples 1-4, and the values ​​are larger, indicating that the binding force of the two to LDL is weak, which may be because the ratio of their auxiliary lipids affects their binding ability to LDL. In addition, the Kd between the nanodiagnostic agent obtained in Comparative Example 2 and LDL was not measured, indicating that it had no LDL binding ability, reflecting the importance of LDL adsorption functional polymer modification.

[0091] Experimental Example 4: Transport of Nanotherapeutic Agents Across the Endothelium by LDL

[0092] Complete culture medium was added to the 24-well plate, and sterile forceps were used to insert the Transwell chamber (polyester membrane pore size 0.4 μm, diameter 6.5 mm, cell growth area 0.33 cm 2 ) were inserted into the plate. HUVEC cells in the logarithmic growth phase were cultured at 2×10 5 ELVIS cells / mL were seeded on the polyester membrane of the Transwell chamber (500 μL / well), which was placed in a cell culture incubator for 48 h to form a dense endothelial cell monolayer to construct a non-ELVIS effector endothelial cell model.

[0093] The fluorescence intensity of the nanotherapeutic agents obtained in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-4 was adjusted to the same, and the transcellular transport behavior of the nanotherapeutic agents after riding on LDL was investigated using the non-ELVIS effect endothelial cell model constructed above. Different nanotherapeutic agents and LDL were added to the upper chamber of the Transwell, where the concentration of LDL was 50 μg / mL, and incubated with HUVEC cells in the Transwell chamber for 4 hours. The culture medium in the lower chamber was collected, and the fluorescence intensity was measured by fluorescence spectrophotometer.

[0094] like Figure 4As shown, the nano-diagnostic agents obtained in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Example 1 can all achieve trans-endothelial transport in the presence of LDL, and their transcellular transport capacity is consistent with the results of binding capacity; the transcellular transport amount of the nano-diagnostic agents obtained in Comparative Examples 3 and 4 is relatively small, because the ratio of auxiliary lipids is related to the ability to achieve transcellular transport by riding on LDL; in contrast, the nano-diagnostic agent obtained in Comparative Example 2 can hardly achieve transcellular transport, which is related to the absence of LDL adsorption functional polymer components in the preparation. It can be concluded that the nano-diagnostic agent can actively cross the endothelial barrier by riding on LDL, which is beneficial to improve the efficiency of the nano-diagnostic agent in penetrating plaques and deliver the fluorescent probe and loaded drug to the subendothelial space to play the role of imaging diagnosis and treatment.

[0095] Experimental Example 5: Nano-therapeutic agent inhibits macrophage foaming

[0096] THP-1 macrophages were cultured at a rate of 2 × 10 5 The cells were seeded at a density of 100 ng / mL into a 24-well plate (0.5 mL / well) and cultured in complete medium containing 100 ng / mL PMA for 24 h to allow the cells to adhere. The Transwell chamber seeded with intact HUVEC monolayer cells cultured for 48 h was assembled with a 24-well plate seeded with THP-1 macrophages to construct an endothelial-macrophage co-culture Transwell model.

[0097] H2O2 (800 μM) was added to the lower chamber of the Transwell for pre-incubation for 2 h, and then different nano-diagnostic and therapeutic agents and LDL were added to the Transwell chamber. A group with PBS and LDL was set up as a control and incubated together for 24 h.

[0098] Lipid droplets in THP-1 macrophages were stained with 0.3% Oil Red O (ORO) staining solution and observed under an inverted fluorescence microscope to assess its ability to inhibit macrophage foam cell formation. Specifically, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 20 minutes, washed three times with PBS, and then permeabilized with 60% isopropanol for 15 minutes to facilitate Oil Red O staining. 0.3% ORO was then added and incubated in the dark for 1 hour, followed by three washes with PBS and finally infiltration with PBS. The cells were observed and photographed under a brightfield inverted fluorescence microscope, and quantified using ImageJ.

[0099] like Figure 5As shown, the smaller the Oil Red O staining area, the lower the lipid content in the cell, that is, the stronger the ability of the preparation to inhibit macrophage foaming. Examples 1-4 showed a strong ability to inhibit macrophage foaming, and were proportional to their transendothelial cell transport ability; however, the ability of Comparative Examples 1, 3, and 4 to inhibit macrophage foaming was significantly weaker than that of Examples 1-4. This is because the small molecule antioxidant in Comparative Example 1 has a weak ability to inhibit LDL oxidation, the transcellular transport amount of Comparative Example 3 is relatively small, and the silica nanoparticles in Comparative Example 4 have no antioxidant function; and Comparative Example 2 failed to play an anti-macrophage foaming role because it could not achieve transcellular transport. This test example shows that the nanoformulation needs to first cross the endothelial barrier before it can enter the subendothelial space to clear ROS, and further be taken up by macrophages and exert an anti-AS effect.

[0100] Experimental Example 6 Antioxidant Effect of Nanotherapeutic Agents in Oxidative Damage Cell Model

[0101] Referring to Experimental Example 5, an endothelial-macrophage co-culture Transwell model was constructed. After pre-stimulating the macrophages in the lower chamber with 800 μM H2O2 for 2 hours, LDL and different nano-therapeutic agents were added to the Trasnwell chamber. The group with PBS and LDL was used as the model group, and the group without H2O2 and LDL was used as the control group. After incubation for 24 hours, 10 μL CCK-8 solution was added to each well and the cells were incubated for another 1.5 hours. The absorbance at 450 nm was measured using a microplate reader, and the cell survival rate was calculated.

[0102] like Figure 6 As shown, H2O2 stimulation can cause macrophage damage, and cell viability drops to about 40%. Examples 1-4 all show excellent effects in protecting macrophages from oxidative damage, increasing cell viability to more than 80%; while Comparative Examples 1, 3, and 4 also have certain functions in protecting macrophages, their protective abilities are significantly weaker than those of Examples 1-4; in contrast, the cell viability after treatment in Comparative Example 2 is still very low (only 46%), because it cannot achieve transendothelial transport, and no drugs or antioxidant nanozymes are enriched around macrophages, and it cannot play a protective role on macrophages.

[0103] Test Example 7

[0104] Male ApoE knockout mice with a C57BL / 6J genetic background were randomly divided into two groups (n=3) and fed a high-fat diet for 8 weeks and 12 weeks, respectively, to establish early-stage AS models (8 weeks) and late-stage AS models (12 weeks). Comparative Example 2 and Example 2 were injected into the tail vein, respectively. Twelve hours after administration, the mice were dissected, the aortic tree was removed, and images were taken using an in vivo imaging device for quantitative analysis.

[0105] like Figure 7As shown, there was no significant difference in the accumulation of comparative example 2 in the aorta between the early model and the late model. In contrast, the accumulation of example 2 in the aorta in the late model was significantly higher than that in the early model, showing an imaging diagnostic effect that was positively correlated with the course of AS.

[0106] Test Example 8

[0107] The above-mentioned AS late model (12 weeks) mice were randomly divided into 5 groups (n=6). 0.1 mL of normal saline, Comparative Example 2, Comparative Example 4, Example 2 and Example 4 were injected into the tail vein respectively, and the drug dosage was 1 mg / kg and the antioxidant nanozyme dosage was 2 mg / kg. The administration frequency was 2 times a week for a total of one month. After the administration, fresh blood was collected from the orbits of each group of mice, and the blood was centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 10 minutes at 4 ° C. The upper serum was collected and the contents of four blood lipids, triglycerides TG, total cholesterol TCHO, LDL-C and HDL-C, were detected by a fully automatic blood biochemical analyzer.

[0108] like Figure 8 As shown, both Example 2 and Example 4 can reduce TG, TCHO, LDL-C and increase HDL-C, and have good blood lipid regulation effects, while Comparative Example 2 and Comparative Example 4 have poor blood lipid regulation effects. This is because the nano-diagnostic and therapeutic agent described in Comparative Example 2 cannot achieve effective plaque penetration by riding on LDL, and there is no antioxidant nanoenzyme in Comparative Example 4, and the loaded rapamycin alone cannot achieve an ideal blood lipid regulation effect.

[0109] Test Example 9

[0110] The above-mentioned AS late model (12 weeks) mice were randomly divided into 5 groups (n=6). 0.1 mL of normal saline, comparative example 1, comparative example 2, example 2 and example 4 were injected into the tail vein respectively, and the drug loading dose was 1 mg / kg, the antioxidant nanozyme dose was 2 mg / kg, and the administration frequency was 2 times a week for a total of one month. After the administration, the mouse aorta was collected for sectioning, and the ROS content in the aorta was analyzed by immunofluorescence, observed and photographed under an upright fluorescence microscope, and quantitative analysis was performed using Image J.

[0111] like Figure 9 As shown, Example 2 and Example 4 can effectively reduce the ROS level in the aorta of atherosclerotic mice after treatment, while Comparative Examples 2 and Comparative Examples 4 have poor ROS scavenging effects. This is attributed to the fact that the diagnostic and therapeutic agent in Comparative Example 2 cannot achieve effective plaque penetration. Even if it contains antioxidant nanozymes, it still cannot reach the subintima of the plaque to exert an antioxidant effect. The diagnostic and therapeutic agent described in Comparative Example 4 cannot play a role in scavenging ROS due to the lack of antioxidant nanozymes.

[0112] The above data show that the nanodiagnostic and therapeutic agent of the present invention has the ability to efficiently transport across endothelial cells by riding on LDL, and can synergize antioxidant nanoenzymes and anti-AS drugs to achieve anti-AS therapeutic effects, showing diagnostic imaging characteristics positively correlated with the course of disease in atherosclerosis model mice.

[0113] The protection content of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the inventive concept, changes and advantages that can be thought of by those skilled in the art are included in the present invention and are protected by the appended claims.
