Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medical preparation technology, specifically relating to a modified quantum dot polycholesterol composite material for radiotherapy sensitization, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, clinical treatments for tumors are commonly divided into invasive and non-invasive methods. However, invasive treatments such as surgery have drawbacks such as large postoperative wounds and numerous complications, which can significantly impact a patient's quality of life. Radiotherapy, on the other hand, uses high-energy X-rays or other types of radiation to destroy tumor cells. Clinically, it is considered a non-invasive treatment, and its advantages, such as high precision and significant therapeutic effects, make it suitable for treating lung cancer patients at all stages. However, due to its numerous side effects, high radiation dose, and the tendency for radiotherapy resistance caused by tumor hypoxia, the effectiveness of radiotherapy may be less pronounced.

[0003] To address the issue of ineffective radiotherapy due to hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment, anti-angiogenic drugs such as bevacizumab or lenvatinib are used clinically to remodel tumor vascular structures, increase blood perfusion, and alleviate hypoxia. In addition, nanomaterials are used to deliver oxygen or perfluorocarbon emulsions are combined with radiotherapy. However, these methods all suffer from poor biocompatibility, the equipment for large-scale production of nanomaterials is expensive, and there are even risks of allergic reactions and embolism.

[0004] In the preparation of antitumor agents, in addition to nanomaterials, microorganisms are also used as drug carriers. However, to the inventor's knowledge, there are very few reports on combining microorganisms with common biomedical materials (such as quantum dots) as radiosensitizers in the preparation of radiosensitizing medical materials. The very few reports that attach quantum dots to the surface of bacteria have drawbacks such as poor sensitization effect, high required radiation dose, and easy detachment of quantum dots, making the sensitizer difficult to preserve. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a chemosensitizing medical material prepared with the participation of microorganisms, which can have a high killing effect on tumor cells at an extremely low dose of 1 Gy.

[0107] Comparative Example 6

[0108] Compared with Example 1, except that the tungsten-chromium-doped zinc gallate quantum dots were replaced with chromium-doped zinc gallate quantum dots, the rest were the same as in Example 1. The preparation method of the chromium-doped zinc gallate quantum dots was in accordance with the method described in the literature "Preparation of near-infrared chemiluminescent nanoprobes based on chromium ion-doped zinc gallate and its hydrogen peroxide sensing study" (Feng Yang, Yang Xinyi, Rao Qianli, et al. Preparation of near-infrared chemiluminescent nanoprobes based on chromium ion-doped zinc gallate and its hydrogen peroxide sensing study [J]. Science in China: Chemistry, 2024, 54(10):1869-1876.), and the calcination temperature of 700℃ was selected.

[0109] Experimental Example 1

[0110] The excitation and emission wavelengths of the tungsten-chromium-doped zinc gallate quantum dots obtained in Example 1 were detected, and the experimental results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown. By Figure 2 From Part A, it can be seen that the excitation wavelength of the obtained tungsten-chromium-doped zinc gallate quantum dots is 347 nm, and the emission wavelength is 695 nm. Figure 2As shown in Part B, under different doses of X-ray excitation, the tungsten-chromium-doped zinc gallate quantum dots emitted visible light with a wavelength of 696 nm, providing the necessary light source for the subsequent photosynthesis of the modified quantum dot Synechococcus composite material.

[0111] The particle size and morphology of the tungsten-chromium-doped zinc gallate quantum dots obtained in Example 1 were measured and observed. The particle size was approximately 8 nm, and the morphology was as follows. Figure 1 The TEM results are shown in the image.

[0112] Experiment Example 2

[0113] The endocytosis of modified quantum dots in the modified quantum dot *Symplocos globosum* composite materials obtained in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-6 was observed and counted using transmission electron microscopy. Under random field of view, the endocytosis of modified quantum dots in 100 *Symplocos globosum* samples was observed, and then the number of modified quantum dots in each sample was counted and calculated as a whole. Figure 3 As shown, in the composite material prepared in Example 1 with a polysaccharide modification step, the modified quantum dots were successfully incorporated into Synechococcus.

[0114] As shown in Table 1, in the composite material obtained without the polysaccharide modification step (i.e., the material obtained in Comparative Example 5), there were fewer than 10 modified quantum dots per 100 *Synechococcus* cells, indicating that the polysaccharide modification step is crucial for the entry of quantum dots into *Synechococcus*. Furthermore, when modified quantum dots obtained by using only a single polysaccharide or a mixture of two polysaccharides were co-incubated with *Synechococcus*, the number of modified quantum dots that could enter the *Synechococcus* was relatively small. This suggests that modification with a mixed polysaccharide composed of maltose, cellulose, and sodium alginate helps to improve the endocytosis of quantum dots by *Synechococcus*.

[0118] Experimental Example 3

[0119] The modified quantum dot *Symplocos globosum* composite material obtained in Example 1 was subjected to cell compatibility testing. Specifically, 8000 BEAS-2B cells per well were respectively mixed with 10... 4 10 5 10 6 10 7 After co-incubating engineered Synechococcus (i.e., modified quantum dot Synechococcus composite material) with CFU / mL for 24 hours, cell viability was detected using the CCK8 kit, and the cell viability was found to be above 95%.

[0120] Experiment Example 4

[0121] The modified quantum dot *Symplocos globosum* composite materials obtained in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-6 were co-incubated with CT26 tumor cells and A549 tumor cells, respectively, under normoxic conditions for 6 hours, and then irradiated with 1 Gy X-rays for 1 minute. The apoptosis rate was calculated. The control group was treated with irradiation alone. The experimental results are shown in Table 2.

[0122] As shown in Table 2, the modified quantum dot *Symplocos globosum* composite material for radiotherapy sensitization obtained in this invention exhibits excellent sensitization effects for radiotherapy. At extremely low doses (1 Gy), it demonstrates extremely high killing effects on both CT26 and A549 cells, with apoptosis rates exceeding 80% for both cell types. Combining Tables 1 and 2, it can be seen that the number of internalized modified quantum dots by *Symplocos globosum* significantly affects the sensitization effect of the resulting engineered *Symplocos globosum* (i.e., the modified quantum dot *Symplocos globosum* composite material) on radiotherapy.
