TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of biological medicine, and particularly relates to a separated microneedle loaded with a liposome nanoreactor and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Melanoma is a highly malignant and fatal skin cancer, with excessive tissue hyperplasia and high oxygen demand, resulting in the presence of hypoxic microenvironment in the tumor. Surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy as the existing traditional treatment methods have greatly improved the survival rate of cancer patients. However, surgery has relatively high risk, large trauma, and many complications, chemotherapy has non-specificity, poor targeting, drug resistance, radiotherapy has low patient tolerance and compliance, and immunotherapy has treatment complexity and long-term survival of reprogrammed cells, which hinder its further application. Photodynamic therapy has the characteristics of small trauma, time and space controllability, and convenient local drug use, and has been clinically used for the treatment of melanoma. Although the emerging photodynamic therapy and its combination therapy can inhibit the malignant proliferation of tumors to some extent, the problem of insufficient oxygen supply for photodynamic therapy caused by the hypoxic microenvironment of the tumor is still a key restricting factor limiting its clinical efficacy.
[0003] So far, researchers have been committed to alleviating the oxygen supply shortage of photodynamic therapy, including: 1) directly delivering exogenous oxygen to the tumor; 2) generating oxygen in situ in the tumor; 3) reducing oxygen consumption by inhibiting tumor cell respiration; 4) inhibiting the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF) signaling pathway to alleviate the hypoxic microenvironment of the tumor. However, these strategies can only alleviate the problem of low photodynamic therapy efficiency caused by the hypoxic microenvironment of the tumor to some extent, and cannot fundamentally provide continuous oxygen for photodynamic therapy. Moreover, due to the complexity and variability of the tumor microenvironment, a single therapy is often insufficient to inhibit the rapid malignant proliferation of tumors. Modern photodynamic therapy mainly uses combination therapy (such as combination with chemotherapy and immunotherapy) as the main cooperative treatment of nanomedicine delivery strategies for tumors. Although these photodynamic combination therapy nanomedicines have been further improved in terms of improving the hypoxic microenvironment of the tumor and enhancing the efficacy, they still face the difficulty of extremely low drug accumulation in tumor tissue.
[0004] For skin superficial malignant tumors, microneedles have shown great advantages in improving drug accumulation in superficial tumor lesions, with the characteristics of designed length / shape, efficient transdermal delivery (which can directly penetrate the stratum corneum to deliver drugs to the dermis), non-invasive and painless, etc. Therefore, the preparation of a rapid separated microneedle that can continuously provide oxygen for photodynamic therapy of tumors, multi-therapy combination, and improve drug accumulation in tumor tissue, will be expected to solve the above problems of low tumor treatment effect caused by the hypoxic microenvironment of the tumor and single treatment method in photodynamic therapy.

Figure 1 As shown in Figures a and d: It can be observed that the rapidly separating microneedles exhibit a sharp, conical, prismatic shape, arranged in an array, with a needle height of 750 mm. μ m, base width is 130 μ m.
[0090] 2. Rapid separation and determination of the microstructure and elemental distribution of microneedles
[0091] The liposome nanoreactor prepared in Example 8 was rapidly separated from the gold-sprayed microneedles for 90 s. The surface morphology was observed using a scanning electron microscope at an accelerating voltage of 20.0 kV. Figure 1 As shown in Figures b and c: the height of the rapidly separating microneedle is 750 mm. μ m; Energy spectral analysis spectrum as follows Figure 2 As shown, the presence of P, Si, and Pt was confirmed, indicating that the liposome nanoreactor was uniformly dispersed in the liposome nanoreactor rapid separation microneedles prepared in Example 8.
[0092] 3. Mechanical performance test of rapid separation of microneedles using a bubble pump
[0093] The mechanical properties of microneedles determine their ability to penetrate the skin. In Example 8, the rapidly separated microneedles were placed on the lower plate of a texture analyzer, compressed at a rate of 1 mm / min, with a deformation of 80%. The average pressure change per needle during compression was recorded. Figure 3 As shown. When the compression displacement is 400... μ At m, the mechanical strength of the rapid separation microneedle is 1.2 N / needle. These values far exceed the minimum force of 0.058 N required to penetrate human skin, proving that the rapid separation microneedle can effectively pierce the skin.
[0094] 4. Rapid separation of microneedles: dissolution performance test
[0095] The microneedle was rapidly separated by a bubble pump and placed in PBS. Oxygen production was then monitored using a dissolved oxygen meter. Figure 4 As shown. Once the Rhodamine B-rapid separation microneedles of Example 2 come into contact with the PBS solution, they begin to dissolve rapidly within 1 second, with clearly visible bubbles. As the time extends to 16 seconds, the rapid separation microneedles of Example 2 almost completely disintegrate.
[0096] 5. Rapid separation of microneedles and oxygen production capacity test
[0097] The liposome rapid separation microneedles from Example 2 were placed in PBS containing 1 mM H2O2. The dissolution of the microneedles at different time points was observed under a fluorescence microscope after a time delay. Figure 5 As shown, the liposome nanoreactor of Example 8 rapidly separates microneedles, gradually converting H2O2 in the solution into oxygen over time, indicating that the microneedles of the liposome nanoreactor of Example 8 continuously generate oxygen using H2O2 as a substrate.
[0098] Example 10: Evaluation of the efficacy of in vivo treatment for melanoma
[0099] Male C57BL / 6J mice (5-6 weeks old) were anesthetized and shaved. 5×10⁻⁶ mg of the solution was injected intradermally into the right back of the mice. 5 One melanoma cell. When the tumor volume reaches 50 mm. 3 At approximately 10:00 AM, mice were randomly divided into 7 groups. Microneedle patch therapy was administered on days 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 after grouping, followed by 635 nm laser irradiation (200 mW / cm²) 6 hours after each administration. 2 (10 minutes). Tumor volume was recorded using calipers during this period. Mice were sacrificed on day 14, and tumor tissue was collected in 4% paraformaldehyde. The tumor tissue was then embedded in a mixture of polyethylene glycol and polyvinyl alcohol, sectioned, and stained with 4',6-diamidinyl-2-phenylindole (DAPI) and an apoptosis indicator (TUNEL). Simultaneously, the tumor tissue was embedded in paraffin and sectioned for hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining.
[0100] Figure 6 Examples 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 present the results of studies on the rapid separation of microneedles using liposome nanoreactors for in vivo treatment of melanoma. Figure 6 As shown in Figure a, tumor growth in the Example 3 treatment group was significantly inhibited compared to other groups. The tumor-suppressing effect of the Example 3 treatment group was superior to that of the other example control groups, and its mechanism may be related to the combined effects of photodynamic therapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. Similarly, tumor weight diagrams and photographs of mice in each group are shown in Figure a. Figure 6 In groups b and c, the tumors in the treatment group of Example 8 were the smallest. These results indicate that the treatment group of Example 8 with administration plus light irradiation had a strong therapeutic effect.
[0101] The results of pathological sections and apoptosis sections are as follows: Figure 7 As shown, compared with the untreated group, the treatment group of Example 8 exhibited the most significant tumor cell damage and apoptosis. These data provide pathological evidence for the multiple therapeutic effects of the treatment group of Example 8.
[0102] This invention utilizes phospholipids, cholesterol, tetramethoxysilane, and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane as raw materials, simultaneously loading cisplatin, 5-aminolevulinic acid, and catalase to prepare liposome nanoreactors. Using polyvinylpyrrolidone and regenerated silk cellulose as raw materials, and simultaneously loading the liposome nanoreactors, a rapidly separable microneedle was successfully prepared via a template method. The rapidly separable microneedle exhibits a sharp, conical shape, good biocompatibility and mechanical properties, and can effectively penetrate the stratum corneum, achieving efficient transdermal delivery and release of the liposome nanoreactors. The rapidly separable microneedle of the liposome nanoreactor can continuously supply oxygen, effectively improving the predicament of insufficient oxygen supply in photodynamic therapy for tumors. It has significant advantages and broad application prospects in the application of photodynamic therapy for skin tumors.
