Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of external vesicle technology, and more specifically, relates to a method for targeted engineering modification of external vesicles. Background Technology
[0002] Extravesicular vesicles, as important intercellular communication carriers, have broad application prospects in disease diagnosis and treatment. Traditional extravesicular vesicle targeted modification techniques mainly include chemical coupling, bioaffinity, and membrane fusion. Chemical coupling involves introducing active groups on the surface of extravesicular vesicles, which then undergo covalent reactions with target ligand molecules; bioaffinity utilizes the specific binding of biotin and avidin to achieve the connection of target ligands; and membrane fusion modifies the extravesicular vesicle by integrating the target ligand into the extravesicular vesicle membrane structure. These methods have been widely used in medical research and clinical applications, providing technical support for the targeted delivery of extravesicular vesicles.
[0003] However, existing external vesicle targeted modification technologies have significant limitations. First, the modification process lacks real-time monitoring methods, making it impossible to accurately grasp the progress and extent of surface modification. Second, the evaluation methods for modification effects are simplistic, relying mainly on the final targeting effect detection and lacking quantitative analysis of intermediate processes. Third, the optimization of process parameters is primarily based on empirical judgment, making it difficult to establish systematic evaluation standards. Finally, the adjustment of modification conditions lacks theoretical guidance, often requiring repeated trials to achieve satisfactory results. These problems lead to low efficiency and unstable product quality in external vesicle targeted modification.
[0004] Currently, the development of external vesicle targeted modification technology faces significant challenges. Due to the lack of an effective quantitative evaluation system, it is impossible to accurately determine the degree of completion of the modification process and the quality of the targeting effect. Simultaneously, the lack of scientific basis for controlling modification conditions makes it difficult to achieve precise optimization of the process. In other words, existing technologies suffer from the technical problem of difficulty in quantitatively evaluating and precisely controlling the effects of external vesicle targeted modification. These technical bottlenecks severely restrict the large-scale application of external vesicle targeted modification technology, necessitating the establishment of a scientific evaluation and control method. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a method for targeted engineering modification of external vesicles, which can solve the technical problem that the effect of targeted modification of external vesicles is difficult to quantitatively evaluate and precisely control in the prior art.
[0006] This invention is implemented as follows: A method for targeted engineering modification of exovesicles includes the following steps: extracting the exovesicles to be modified, and screening exovesicle precipitates with a particle size distribution uniformity of less than 0.3; measuring the surface potential value of the exovesicle precipitates; activating the surface proteins of the exovesicles with a surfactant; modifying the surface with a ligand molecule using a coordinating group modifier; calculating the surface modification density ratio using a surface modification evaluation equation set, wherein the surface modification evaluation equation set is based on ligand binding efficiency and surface density, the ligand binding efficiency is calculated using a multi-factor nonlinear regression model, and the surface density is calculated using a neural network algorithm; calculating the targeting modification fold; determining whether the targeting modification fold and the surface modification density ratio reach a preset threshold, wherein the targeting modification threshold is determined by 80% of the ratio of the baseline binding rate to the maximum binding rate, and the surface modification threshold is determined by 75% of the average surface modification density ratio of three batches of modified exovesicles.
[0007] The step of extracting the external vesicles to be modified by differential centrifugation combined with balanced density gradient centrifugation is as follows: the cell culture medium is collected by centrifugation, the cells are removed by centrifugation at 300×g for 10 minutes at 4℃, the supernatant is collected and centrifuged at 2000×g for 20 minutes to remove cell debris, the supernatant is collected and centrifuged at 10000×g for 30 minutes to remove large particles, the supernatant is collected and centrifuged at 100000×g for 90 minutes to collect the external vesicle precipitate, the external vesicle precipitate is resuspended with phosphate buffer, and the concentration of external vesicles is adjusted to 100,000 to 500,000 per milliliter.
[0008] The step of activating the surface proteins of the outer vesicles with a surfactant is as follows: prepare a surfactant solution with a mass fraction of 0.1 to 0.5%, slowly add it dropwise to the outer vesicle precipitation solution, control the drop rate to 0.1 ml per minute, and stir at 25 to 30°C for 15 to 30 minutes, with the stirring speed controlled at 200 rpm.
[0009] The step of surface modification by ligand modifier specifically involves: preparing a fluorescently labeled ligand modifier solution, adjusting the mass ratio of ligand modifier to exovesicle precipitate to 1:5 to 1:10, and reacting at 37°C for 1 to 2 hours.
[0010] The step of surface modification by targeting ligand molecules specifically involves: preparing a fluorescently labeled solution of the targeting ligand molecules, adjusting the mass ratio of the targeting ligand molecules to the outer vesicle precipitate to 1:2 to 1:5, and reacting at 37°C for 2 to 4 hours.
[0011] The step of calculating the number of ligands bound per unit area specifically involves: using flow cytometry to determine the number and binding strength of fluorescently labeled ligand molecules, setting the forward scattering threshold of the flow cytometer to 200, the voltage of the fluorescence detection channel to 350 volts, and using a density clustering algorithm to analyze the distribution of the fluorescence signal.
[0012] Specifically, when the targeting modification factor is less than the targeting modification threshold, the mass fraction of the surfactant is increased by 0.1%, the mass ratio of the coordinating group modifier to the external vesicle precipitate is adjusted to 1:4, and the mass ratio of the targeting ligand molecule to the external vesicle precipitate is adjusted to 1:1.5, and the modification is carried out again.
[0013] Specifically, when the surface modification density ratio is less than the surface modification threshold, the stirring time of the surface activator is extended to 45 minutes, the reaction time of the ligand modifier is extended to 3 hours, and the reaction time of the target ligand molecule is extended to 5 hours, and the modification is carried out again.
[0014] The resuspended modified exovesicles were aliquoted into low-adsorption centrifuge tubes with a capacity of 0.5 to 1 ml, and each tube was aliquoted to no more than 80% of its volume. The tubes were then stored at -80°C.
[0015] The dispersion of the outer vesicles was observed using a fully automated microscopic scanning imaging and analysis system. The ultrasound time was adjusted according to the dispersion, and the ultrasound time was controlled between 20 and 30 seconds.
[0016] Compared with existing technologies, this invention provides a method for targeted engineering modification of exovesicles. This method establishes a multi-parameter surface modification evaluation system and a dual-threshold judgment mechanism, enabling full-process monitoring and precise control of the modification process. Through comprehensive analysis of multiple parameters such as particle size distribution uniformity, surface potential value, and ligand binding efficiency, a scientific evaluation standard is constructed. The establishment of a surface modification evaluation equation set enables quantitative characterization of the modification effect. The dual-threshold judgment of the targeted modification multiple and the surface modification density ratio ensures the quality controllability of the modified product.
[0017] This invention ensures the uniformity of the modification process by introducing particle size distribution uniformity as a quality control parameter; it enables real-time assessment of the surface modification degree through surface potential monitoring; it establishes a quantitative evaluation method for modification density through ligand binding efficiency analysis; and it improves the accuracy of the assessment by processing multidimensional parameter relationships through neural network algorithms. Furthermore, targeted optimization strategies are established to address different types of modification deficiencies, achieving precise process control.
[0018] Therefore, by establishing a systematic evaluation system and optimization strategy, this invention successfully solves the technical problem of the difficulty in quantitatively evaluating and precisely controlling the effect of targeted modification of external vesicles.

[0044] The surface modification density ratio is used to evaluate the degree of surface modification of the exovesicles. A surface modification density ratio greater than the surface modification threshold indicates that the surface modification is sufficient.
[0045] The number of ligands bound per unit area is used to characterize the uniformity of the modification on the surface of the extravesicle. Optionally, the number of ligands bound per unit area is optimal in the range of 500 to 1000 per square micrometer.
[0046] Optionally, the maximum increase in the mass fraction of the surfactant is 1.0%; the minimum adjustment of the mass ratio of the coordinating group modifier to the exovesicle precipitate is 1:2; the minimum adjustment of the mass ratio of the targeting ligand molecule to the exovesicle precipitate is 1:1; the maximum stirring time for the surfactant is 60 minutes; the maximum reaction time for the coordinating group modifier is 4 hours; and the maximum reaction time for the targeting ligand molecule is 6 hours.
[0047] The specific implementation methods of the above steps are described in detail below. Step S01 is implemented by extracting the extravesicles to be modified using a combination of differential centrifugation and balanced density gradient centrifugation. First, cell culture medium is collected by centrifugation. The collected cell culture medium is centrifuged at 300×g for 10 minutes at 4°C to remove cells. The supernatant is then centrifuged at 2000×g for 20 minutes to remove cell debris, and then centrifuged at 10000×g for 30 minutes to remove large particles. Next, extravesicles are separated by ultracentrifugation. The supernatant after the above treatment is centrifuged at 100000×g for 90 minutes to collect the extravesicle precipitate. Then, the extravesicle precipitate is resuspended in phosphate buffer. The dispersion of the extravesicles is observed using a fully automated microscopic scanning imaging and analysis system. The sonication time is adjusted according to the dispersion, generally controlled to 20 to 30 seconds. The extravesicle concentration is determined by a nanoparticle tracking analysis system, and the concentration is adjusted to 100,000 to 500,000 vesicles per milliliter using a dilution method. The purpose of this step is to obtain exovesicle precipitates with appropriate concentration and good dispersibility, providing raw materials for subsequent modification.
[0048] The specific implementation of step S02 involves using a nanoparticle size analyzer to determine the particle size distribution uniformity of the exovesicle precipitate. The specific operation includes collecting 1 ml of the exovesicle precipitate solution, placing it in a quartz cuvette, setting the light source wavelength to 633 nm, and measuring the particle size distribution using the dynamic light scattering principle. The peak shape parameters of the particle size distribution curve are calculated using a Gaussian fitting algorithm, and the particle size distribution uniformity is calculated using the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean. Exovesicle precipitates with a particle size distribution uniformity less than 0.3 are selected for subsequent modification. This uniformity threshold is set based on the particle size distribution characteristics of the exovesicles; the smaller the particle size distribution uniformity, the more uniform the exovesicle particle size. The purpose of this step is to screen out exovesicles with uniform particle size distribution, ensuring the uniformity of subsequent modification.
[0049] The specific implementation of step S03 involves measuring the surface potential value of the exovesicle precipitation using a dynamic light scattering instrument. The specific operation includes collecting 1 ml of the exovesicle precipitation solution, placing it in a dedicated electrophoretic pool, setting the electric field strength to 15 volts per centimeter, and measuring the electrophoretic migration rate using the laser Doppler velocimetry principle. The surface potential value is calculated using the Henry's equation and recorded as the initial surface potential value, typically within the range of -20 to -30 millivolts. The purpose of this step is to obtain the characteristic parameters of the exovesicle surface potential, providing a basis for evaluating the surface modification effect.
[0050] The specific implementation of step S04 involves activating the surface proteins of the outer vesicles with a surfactant. The specific operation includes preparing a surfactant solution with a mass fraction of 0.1 to 0.5%, and slowly adding it dropwise to the outer vesicle precipitation solution, controlling the dropping rate at 0.1 mL per minute. The mixture is stirred at 25 to 30°C for 15 to 30 minutes at a stirring rate of 200 rpm. The surface protein activity is detected using a luciferase labeling method to ensure sufficient activation. The purpose of this step is to increase the activity of the outer vesicle surface proteins and improve the efficiency of subsequent modification.
[0051] Step S05 is implemented using coordination chemistry principles for surface modification. The specific steps include preparing a fluorescently labeled coordination group modifier solution, adjusting the mass ratio of the coordination group modifier to the exovesicle precipitate to 1:5 to 1:10, and adding it to the reaction system in batches using a microsyringe. The reaction is carried out at 37°C for 1 to 2 hours, with fluorescence intensity measured every 30 minutes during the reaction. A fluorescence intensity-time curve is plotted to determine the optimal reaction endpoint. The purpose of this step is to introduce coordination groups onto the exovesicle surface, providing a chemical basis for the subsequent connection of targeting ligands.
[0052] Step S06 is implemented by linking the targeting ligand using the principle of bioaffinity. The specific operations include preparing a fluorescently labeled solution of the targeting ligand molecule, adjusting the mass ratio of the targeting ligand molecule to the exovesicle precipitate to 1:2 to 1:5, and controlling the addition rate using isothermal titration. The reaction is carried out at 37°C for 2 to 4 hours, and dynamic light scattering technology is used to monitor particle size changes during the reaction to ensure the stability of the reaction system. The purpose of this step is to construct a targeting molecule modification layer, endowing the exovesicles with targeting function.
[0053] The specific implementation of step S07 involves using flow cytometry to determine the binding characteristics of fluorescently labeled ligand molecules. The specific operation includes collecting modified exovesicle samples, adjusting the concentration to 50,000 molecules per milliliter, setting the forward scattering threshold of the flow cytometer to 200, and setting the voltage of the fluorescence detection channel to 350 volts. A density clustering algorithm is used to analyze the fluorescence signal distribution, calculate the average fluorescence intensity and the coefficient of variation of fluorescence intensity, and quantify the number and binding strength of ligand molecules. The purpose of this step is to obtain quantitative parameters of ligand modification, providing data support for evaluating the modification effect.
[0054] The specific implementation of step S08 is based on calculating the surface modification density ratio using a set of surface modification evaluation equations. The ligand binding efficiency equation employs a multi-factor nonlinear regression model, using the number of fluorescently labeled ligand molecules bound, the concentration of exovesicle precipitation, particle size distribution uniformity, and reaction system temperature as independent variables to calculate the number of ligands bound per unit area. The surface density equation uses a neural network algorithm, using the number of ligands bound per unit area, particle size distribution uniformity, surface potential value, and the binding strength of fluorescently labeled ligand molecules as input variables to calculate the surface modification density ratio. The purpose of this step is to establish a surface modification evaluation system and achieve quantitative characterization of the modification effect.
[0055] The specific implementation of step S09 involves purifying the modified exovesicles using ultrafiltration centrifugation. The specific operation includes transferring the reaction system to an ultrafiltration centrifuge tube with a molecular weight cutoff of 100,000 Daltons and centrifuging at 4000×g for 30 minutes at 4°C. The tube is then washed three times with phosphate buffer, and particle size stability is detected using dynamic light scattering after each wash. Finally, the purified modified exovesicles are transferred to sterile centrifuge tubes, and their concentration is measured and recorded. The purpose of this step is to remove unreacted substances from the reaction system and obtain pure modified exovesicles.
[0056] The specific implementation of step S10 involves evaluating the targeting effect using flow cytometry. The specific procedures include culturing the target cells to the logarithmic growth phase, digesting and collecting the cells, and adjusting the concentration to 1 × 10⁻⁶ cells per milliliter. 6 The modified vesicles were mixed with target cells at a ratio of 1:100 and incubated at 37°C for 2 hours. Fluorescence signals were detected using flow cytometry, and the binding rate was calculated using gating analysis. Simultaneously, the binding rate of the control group was measured, and the targeting modification fold was calculated. This step aims to evaluate the targeting performance of the modified vesicles and determine the success of the modification.
[0057] The specific implementation of step S11 involves using a dual-threshold judgment method to evaluate the modification effect. The specific operation includes comparing the calculated targeted modification multiple with a pre-set targeted modification threshold, and comparing the calculated surface modification density ratio with a pre-set surface modification threshold. When both the targeted modification multiple and the surface modification density ratio are greater than the surface modification threshold, it indicates that the modification has achieved the expected effect, and the process proceeds to the data collection step. If either indicator fails to meet the threshold requirement, the modification conditions need to be adjusted and the process repeated. The purpose of this step is to establish a judgment standard for the modification effect and achieve quality control of the process.
[0058] Step S12 is a specific implementation of an optimization strategy for insufficient targeting effect. Specifically, it involves increasing the mass fraction of the surfactant by 0.1% to enhance the activity of the surface protein. The mass ratio of the coordinating group modifier to the exovesicle precipitate is adjusted to 1:4 to increase the modification density of the coordinating groups. The mass ratio of the targeting ligand molecule to the exovesicle precipitate is adjusted to 1:1.5 to increase the number of targeting ligands linked. After optimization, the surface activation step is repeated for further modification. The purpose of this step is to improve the targeting modification effect by adjusting the reactant ratio.
[0059] Step S13 is a specific implementation of an optimization strategy for insufficient surface modification. The specific operations include extending the stirring time of the surface activator to 45 minutes to fully activate the surface proteins; extending the reaction time of the ligand modifier to 3 hours to increase the binding amount of the ligands; and extending the reaction time of the targeting ligand molecules to 5 hours to improve the connection efficiency of the targeting ligands. After optimization, the surface activation step is repeated, and the modification is carried out again. The purpose of this step is to improve the surface modification effect by extending the reaction time.
[0060] Step S14 is specifically implemented by collecting the modified exovesicles using ultracentrifugation. The specific procedure involves transferring the modified exovesicle solution to an ultracentrifuge tube and centrifuging at 100,000 × g for 90 minutes at 4°C to collect the precipitate. The precipitate is resuspended in pre-cooled phosphate buffer, and the concentration is determined using a nanoparticle tracking analysis system. The purpose of this step is to obtain concentrated modified exovesicles for easier subsequent storage.
[0061] The specific implementation of step S15 involves storing the modified exovesicles using a cryopreservation method. The specific operation includes selecting low-adsorption centrifuge tubes with a capacity of 0.5 to 1 ml, and aliquoting the resuspended modified exovesicles into tubes at no more than 80% of their volume. The aliquoting process is performed in a clean bench to ensure aseptic technique. The aliquoted modified exovesicles are then stored at -80°C, and their activity is monitored periodically. This step aims to ensure the long-term stability of the modified exovesicles.

Finally, the modified exovesicles were aliquoted into 0.5 mL low-adsorption centrifuge tubes, with each tube containing 0.4 mL of liquid, and stored at -80°C.
[0137] This embodiment employs a systematic evaluation method and optimization strategy to successfully prepare therapeutic exovesicles with HER2-targeting properties. Traditional exovesicle modification methods rely solely on the final binding rate to determine the modification effect, and the optimization of process parameters lacks theoretical basis.

Specific advancements include: First, the establishment of a multi-parameter evaluation system including particle size distribution uniformity, surface potential value, and ligand binding efficiency, providing a means for full-process monitoring of the modification process. Second, the use of surface modification evaluation equations for quantitative analysis makes the evaluation of modification effects more objective and accurate. Third, the establishment of a scientific quality control standard through a dual-threshold judgment mechanism ensures the stability of product quality. Fourth, the design of targeted optimization strategies improves the precision and efficiency of process control. These technological advancements have transformed exovesicle targeted modification technology from an empirical operation to a controllable engineering approach, laying the foundation for clinical application.
