Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of biological medicine and health, and particularly relates to a kind of bacteria-algae fusion vesicle loaded copper sulfide nanoparticles and its preparation method and application. BACKGROUND
[0002] For most solid tumors, surgical treatment is still the most effective treatment, however, due to the complexity of tumor characteristics, drug resistance and strong invasion, the probability of postoperative recurrence and metastasis is high. Some related clinical studies have confirmed that the immune function status of surgery is a positive factor for postoperative metastasis-free survival, the higher the body immune level, the longer the postoperative immune function failure time, and the longer the protection time of tumor recurrence, so activating the immune system and long-term tumor immune memory is the key to preventing tumor recurrence. Immune cell death (ICD) as a form of cell death that activates the innate immune system to eliminate cancer cells and maintain long-term immune vigilance, has become a particularly effective immune stimulation mechanism, which may remodel the tumor microenvironment and enhance immunogenicity, thereby initiating systemic anti-tumor immunity.
[0003] The reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated in photodynamic therapy (PDT) can trigger ICD by causing oxidative stress in tumor cells, while photothermal therapy (PTT) can effectively destroy tumor cells and promote the release of tumor-associated antigens, thereby enhancing the ICD effect. The combination of the two can produce a spatiotemporal synergistic effect, synergistically amplifying the ICD response. Since recurrent lesions are often distributed in small nodules, traditional nanocarriers are limited by abnormal vascular structures and dense matrix barriers, and have low intratumoral enrichment efficiency. Therefore, developing a delivery system that can precisely target recurrent lesions, overcome the microenvironment barrier and synergistically enhance ICD is a key path to break through the clinical treatment dilemma. SUMMARY

Then centrifuge at 12000rpm for 10min, then use the ultra-high-speed centrifuge at 4℃, with a speed of 140,000xg, centrifuge for 2h, repeat the above operation twice. Then pour off the supernatant, resuspend the precipitate in PBS, and obtain the spirulina exosome (SP-EVs).
[0042] 3. Mix the prepared Escherichia coli outer membrane vesicle (OMV) and spirulina exosome (SP-EVs) at a protein ratio of 1:1, then ultrasonic (ultrasonic power 500W) treatment for 10min, and pass through 0.22μm filter membrane 11 times in succession to obtain the fusion vesicle (OMEVs) of Escherichia coli outer membrane vesicle and spirulina exosome.
[0043] 4. At room temperature, with magnetic stirring, 100 μL of a 67.5 mg / mL copper chloride dihydrate solution and 0.24 g of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP-K40) were dispersed in 25 mL of deionized water and stirred for 5 min. Then, 25 mL of sodium hydroxide solution with pH = 9 was added and stirred for 5 min. Subsequently, 6.4 μL of 85% hydrazine hydrate solution was added and stirred for 5 min. Finally, 200 μL of a 320 mg / mL sodium sulfide nonahydrate solution was added, and the mixture was calcined at 60 °C for 2 h. After centrifugation at 12000 rpm for 10 min at room temperature, the product was washed three times with deionized water to obtain copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuS NPs).
[0044] 5. Disperse 2.0 mg of copper sulfide nanoparticles in 4 mL of 15.0 mg / mL 3-bromopyruvic acid solution and sonicate (500 W) for 30 min. Then, stir the mixture at room temperature for 24 h.

[0045] 6. The copper sulfide nanoparticles loaded with 3-bromopyruvic acid and the fusion vesicles obtained in step 3 were mixed at a mass ratio of 1:1, then sonicated (ultrasonic power 500W) for 30 min, passed through a 0.22 μm filter membrane 11 times, and then centrifuged at 10000 rpm for 5 min.

Figure 1 .from Figure 1 As can be observed in a, the prepared macrophyte fusion vesicles are all spherical or nearly spherical, with obvious phospholipid bilayer structure and a size of 150-200 nm. Figure 1 Figure b shows that the prepared copper sulfide nanoparticle drug carrier CuS has a hollow mesoporous structure, and the hollow structure is clear, small in size, and uniform in morphology, with a size of 150-200 nm. Figure 1 In the image, c represents the product CB@OMEVs after fusion vesicle encapsulation. A membrane layer can be seen, proving that the fusion vesicles were successfully loaded.
[0047] Example 2
[0048] This embodiment performs functional tests on the copper sulfide-loaded nanoparticles of the bacterial-algae fusion vesicles prepared in Example 1, as detailed below:
[0049] 1. In vitro photothermal performance experiment
[0050] The copper sulfide nanoparticles loaded with the fused algae-bacteria vesicles prepared in Example 1 were formulated into solutions with concentrations of 0 μg / mL, 40 μg / mL, 60 μg / mL, 80 μg / mL, 100 μg / mL, and 200 μg / mL, respectively. Then, an 808 nm near-infrared laser at 1.5 W / cm² was used. 2 The solution was irradiated at the specified energy density for 10 minutes, with the temperature recorded every 20 seconds. Results are shown below. Figure 2 According to a Figure 2 As shown in Figure a, when the solution concentrations were 0 μg / mL, 40 μg / mL, 60 μg / mL, 80 μg / mL, 100 μg / mL, and 200 μg / mL, the temperature increased by 1.6℃, 10.1℃, 12.4℃, 16.9℃, 24.3℃, and 31.8℃ respectively within 10 minutes. The results indicate that the nanoparticles possess excellent photothermal conversion properties, and this photothermal conversion effect is concentration-dependent. A solution of copper sulfide-loaded vesicles from the algal-bacterial fusion nanoparticles prepared in Example 1 was prepared with a concentration of 100 μg / mL, and then tested using an 808 nm near-infrared laser at different power densities of 0.5 W / cm². 2 1.0W / cm 2 1.5W / cm 2 Irradiation was performed for a total of 10 minutes, and the temperature of the solution was recorded every 20 seconds. Figure 2 As shown in Figure b, different power densities of 0.5 W / cm² are obtained. 2 1.0W / cm 2 1.5W / cm 2 At the specified times, the temperature increased by 14.4℃, 19.3℃, and 24.3℃, respectively. The results indicate that the photothermal conversion effect of these nanoparticles exhibits laser power dependence. These results demonstrate that CB@OMEVs NPs possess excellent photothermal properties and can be used for anti-tumor therapy via photothermal therapy.
[0051] 2. Photothermal conversion efficiency measurement experiment
[0052] The CB@OMEVs NPs prepared in Example 1 were used to prepare a solution with a concentration of 200 μg / mL, and then an 808 nm near-infrared laser at 1.5 W / cm² was used. 2 The photothermal stability of the nanomedicine was evaluated by subjecting the solution to five laser on / off cycles at a power density of [specific value]. In each cycle, the nanomedicine solution was irradiated with laser for 10 min, then the laser was turned off for 10 min, and the solution temperature was recorded every 20 s. Temperature change curves were plotted over these cycles. The results are as follows: Figure 3 As shown in figure a, the photothermal stability of CB@OMEVs NPs is demonstrated. When the temperature reaches the highest equilibrium temperature, the laser is turned off, and the solution temperature is recorded every 20 seconds. The results are shown in [Figure a]. Figure 3 b, τs The value is equal to 480.5, and the calculated photothermal conversion efficiency of the nanoparticles is 41.58%.
[0053] 3. In vitro drug release status
[0054] To investigate the in vitro drug release of copper sulfide-loaded nanoparticles from algal-bacterial fusion vesicles, 20.0 mg of the copper sulfide-loaded nanoparticles prepared in Example 1 were dispersed in 2.0 mL of PBS buffer and placed in a dialysis bag with a molecular weight cutoff of 3500 Da. The dialysis bag was immersed in 5.0 mL of pH 7.4 PBS buffer, and the entire release system was placed in a constant-temperature shaker at 37°C and 100 rpm. At corresponding time points (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 36, 38, 48, 60, 72 h), after thorough mixing, 1 mL of the release medium was drawn off and replaced with an equal volume of PBS buffer. After 36 h, the dialysis bag was removed, and the nanoparticles were released using 808 nm (1.5 W / cm²) at a concentration of 1.5 W / cm². 2 ) and 660nm (0.5W / cm 2 The laser irradiation lasted for 5 minutes. The content of 3-bromopyruvic acid was then detected using a UV spectrophotometer. The cumulative drug release was calculated using the following formula, and the release curve was plotted.
[0055]
[0056] The results are as follows Figure 4 As shown, the release kinetics of 3-bromopyruvate from CB@OMEVs NPs exhibited a slow curve, with only a modest cumulative release of 17.64% observed over 36 hours. Subsequently, CB@OMEVs NPs were subjected to 660 / 808 nm laser irradiation for 5 minutes. After a 2-hour interval, approximately 69.49% of the encapsulated 3-bromopyruvate was observed to be released, indicating that laser irradiation can trigger drug release. This release characteristic can enhance drug accumulation at the tumor site and improve the antitumor effect.
[0057] 4. Measurement 1 O2 generation capacity
[0058] In order to study CB@OMEVs NPs 1 To assess O2 generation capacity, 2 mL of CB@OMEVs NPs with a protein concentration of 200 μg / mL (SP-EVs) was added to 30 μL of 1 mg / mL ABDA solution, and the results were measured using a 660 nm microscope (0.5 W / cm²). 2 ), 808nm (1.5W / cm) 2The solution was irradiated with laser light for 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 min, and the change in absorbance at 410 nm was observed. The results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown, an 808nm laser (0.5W cm⁻¹) was used. 2 ) irradiation
[0059] CB@OMEVs had no significant effect on the absorbance of ABDA at 400 nm; however, after irradiation with a 660 nm laser for 30 min, the absorbance of ABDA decreased by 35.33%. These results indicate that CB@OMEVs NPs possess excellent... 1 The ability to generate O2 can produce enough ROS to effectively kill tumors.
[0060] 5. Catalase activity and oxygen production capacity
[0061] To investigate the catalase activity of CB@OMEVs NPs, the activities of SP-EVs, 1917-OMVs (outer membrane vesicles of E. coli 1917), OMEVs, and CB@OMEVs were measured using a catalase assay kit. The results are as follows: Figure 6 As shown, with
[0062] Compared to SP-EVs, the catalase activities of OMEVs and CB@OMEVs NPs were not significantly affected by the preparation process. The results indicate that CB@OMEVs NPs possess excellent catalase activity, capable of decomposing H2O2 in the tumor microenvironment to generate O2, alleviating the hypoxic tumor microenvironment and enhancing the antitumor effect.
[0063] 6. In vitro biocompatibility
[0064] To assess the biocompatibility of CB@OMEVs NPs, the biocompatibility of CB@OMEVs NPs with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) was detected using a Calcein AM / PI live / dead staining assay to evaluate their in vitro cytotoxicity. HUVECs in logarithmic growth phase were cultured at 3 × 10⁻⁶ cells / year. 5 Inoculate the culture medium at a rate of / well, incubate in a six-well plate for 24 h, remove the old medium, and then add the following in sequence: OMV (200 μg / mL), SP (200 μg / mL), OMEVs (200 μg / mL), CuS (250 μg / mL), CuS-3BP (250 μg / mL), 3-BP (20 μg / mL), and...
[0065] Cells were inoculated with CB@OMEVS (250 μg / mL) for 24 hours, after which the drug-containing medium was discarded. After washing three times with PBS, 1 mL of pre-prepared Calcein AM / PI staining working solution was added, and the cells were incubated at room temperature in the dark for 30 minutes. Cell labeling was observed and photographed under a fluorescence microscope. Calcein AM (Ex / Em: 495 nm / 520 nm) showed green fluorescence, and PI (Ex / Em: 530 nm / 620 nm) showed red fluorescence.
[0066] The results are as follows Figure 7 As shown, CB@OMEVs NPs did not exhibit any significant cytotoxicity to HUVEC cells even at a high concentration of 500 μg / mL, demonstrating that CB@OMEVs NPs have good biocompatibility.
[0067] 7. In vitro cell inhibition effect
[0068] To evaluate the therapeutic effects of PDT and PTT on the viability of tumor cells in vitro, the following methods were used:
[0069] The CCK-8 assay was used to investigate the cytotoxic effect on 4T1 cells. 4T1 cells were cultured at 1 × 10⁶ cells per well. 4 Cells were seeded at a density of 1000 μg / mL in 96-well plates and cultured for 24 hours. Then, they were cultured for another 6 hours in an incubator with medium containing different concentrations of CB@OMEVs NPs (40, 80, 100, 250, 500 μg / mL). Each group was divided into 3 replicates. The cells were then irradiated with different lasers, 660 (0.5W, 5 min) and 808 (1.5W, 5 min), and incubated for another 24 hours. Subsequently, 10 μL of CCK-8 solution was added to each well under light-protected conditions, and the cells were returned to the incubator for 1 hour. The OD value of each well was then measured at 450 nm using a microplate reader, and the cell viability was calculated.
[0070]
[0071] The results are as follows Figure 8As shown, CB@OMEVs NPs (250 μg / mL) induced 29.99% and 39.09% cell death under single laser irradiation at 660 and 808 nm, respectively, compared to the control group. However, dual laser irradiation at 660 / 808 nm induced 76.64% cell death, while irradiation at 808 / 660 nm induced 58.21% cell death, indicating that changing the laser irradiation sequence can improve cell death rate. This is because reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated in PDT can trigger ICD by inducing oxidative stress in tumor cells, while PDT can effectively destroy tumor cells and promote the release of tumor-associated antigens, thereby enhancing the ICD effect. In conclusion, the CB@OMEVs NPs + 660 / 808 nm group has a stronger inhibitory effect on 4T1 tumor cells, demonstrating stronger in vitro antitumor activity.
[0072] In summary, the algal-bacterial fusion vesicles loaded with copper sulfide nanomedicine prepared in this invention are small in size, highly safe, and exhibit targeted efficacy against recurrent tumors. This invention first synthesizes a near-infrared responsive hollow mesoporous copper sulfide nanoparticle, utilizing its mesoporous structure to encapsulate the small molecule inhibitor 3-bromopyruvic acid. Subsequently, algal-bacterial fusion vesicles targeting neutrophils and ROS-producing cells are prepared, and these vesicles are used to encapsulate the drug-loaded copper sulfide nanoparticles, resulting in nanomedicines (CB@OMEVs) with recurrent tumor-targeting capabilities. Ultimately, this achieves a combined therapeutic effect of photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, immunotherapy, and metabolic regulation. Existing data indicate that the CB@OMEVs developed in this invention have great potential as a highly efficient and accurate nanotherapeutic agent for inducing photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, and immunotherapy, exhibiting excellent anti-tumor effects.
