Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of biological medicine, and particularly relates to a preparation method and products and applications of a cell-derived exosome subpopulation. BACKGROUND

[0002] Exosomes are lipid bilayer membrane structure small vesicles with a diameter of 30-150 nm secreted by cells, widely exist in cell culture medium, blood, urine and other biological fluids, and their interiors are wrapped with proteins, lipids, mRNA, miRNA and other biological active molecules. As an important medium for intercellular signal transmission, exosomes can target the biological active substances they carry to the recipient cells, regulate cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and immune response and other physiological and pathological processes, and show great application potential in the fields of immune regulation, tissue repair, disease diagnosis and treatment.

[0003] In recent years, the research and transformation of exosomes in the field of biological medicine have rapidly advanced, and many breakthroughs have been made in the treatment of immune regulation and cell regeneration related diseases. For example, mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes have been confirmed to have significant immune regulation effect by inhibiting the expression of inflammatory factors (such as IL-6, TNFα) and promoting the secretion of anti-inflammatory factors (such as IL-10), providing a new treatment direction for rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease and other autoimmune diseases; at the same time, the active molecules carried by exosomes, such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), can promote the proliferation and repair of damaged tissues, and show excellent application prospects in skin wound healing, myocardial injury repair, osteoarthritis treatment and other scenarios.

[0004] However, the heterogeneity of exosomes is a core technical bottleneck restricting their clinical transformation. Exosomes secreted by the same kind of cells have significant differences in particle size distribution, molecular composition, biological activity and other aspects, forming a mixed system with multiple functions. Existing exosome separation technologies (such as differential centrifugation method, density gradient centrifugation method, ultrafiltration method, Capto Core 700 chromatography method, etc.) mainly focus on the overall purification of exosomes, and cannot realize the precise separation of functional subpopulations. Such mixed exosomes have many defects in clinical application: on the one hand, the effects of different functional subpopulations may be antagonistic, resulting in a significant reduction in treatment effect; on the other hand, the existence of non-targeted subpopulations may increase the risk of potential side effects, reducing the safety and targeting of treatment. For example, in the treatment of inflammation, part of the pro-inflammatory active subpopulation may weaken the treatment effect of the anti-inflammatory subpopulation; in tissue repair, the existence of non-proliferation regulation subpopulation will reduce the repair efficiency under unit dose and increase the clinical use cost.

[0005] In addition, the existing exosome separation technology also has many deficiencies: the differential centrifugation method is complicated, time-consuming, has low exosome recovery rate, and easily causes exosome aggregation and destroys the structural integrity of the exosome; the ultrafiltration method can realize concentration, but it is difficult to effectively remove small molecule impurities and protein pollution, and the product purity is insufficient; the Capto Core 700 chromatography method can improve the purity of exosomes, but can only separate exosomes and impurities, and cannot distinguish the functional subgroups inside the exosomes.

[0006] Therefore, developing a preparation method that can realize the accurate separation of exosome functional subgroups and take into account efficiency, purity and biological activity is of great significance for elucidating the mechanism of exosomes, improving the clinical treatment effect, and promoting the industrialization of exosome drugs. SUMMARY

[0007] Based on the defects of the above-mentioned prior art, the present application aims to provide a preparation method and product and application of cell-derived exosome subgroups, which realizes the efficient separation of exosome functional subgroups (S1 and S2) by optimizing the process route and key parameters, and provides a new technical solution and product for the precise treatment of immune regulation and cell regeneration related diseases.

[0008] Terms: In the present application, the term "exosome subgroup" refers to a subset of exosomes with specific functional targeting, which refers to two types of exosomes (S1 and S2) obtained by the preparation method of the present application, which have clear differences in molecular composition (proteins, nucleic acids, etc.) and biological activity, wherein the S1 subgroup is enriched in immune regulation related active molecules, and the S2 subgroup is rich in cell regeneration related functional factors, both of which maintain the integrity of the lipid bilayer membrane structure.

[0009] In the present application, the term "double-layer composite structure filter membrane" refers to a composite filter material used for clarification filtration of cell culture liquid, which is composed of an upper layer of 1.5 μm pore size (retaining cell clumps and large size impurities) and a lower layer of 0.8 μm pore size (retaining cell fragments and small impurities), and the material is selected from biocompatible materials such as polyether sulfone and polyvinylidene fluoride, which can realize stepwise impurity retention and ensure the purity of the raw material for subsequent exosome separation.

[0010] In the present application, the term "tangential flow filtration system" refers to a separation device used for exosome ultrafiltration and concentration, the core component of which is a hollow fiber filter (retaining molecular weight 300-500 kDa), which makes the sample flow parallel to the membrane surface by tangential flow, and realizes the separation of exosomes and small molecule impurities under the action of transmembrane pressure, and cooperates with 15-20 times volume washing to efficiently remove culture medium residues and protein pollution.

[0011] In the present application, the term "wash" refers to the displacement operation of impurities in the tangential flow filtration process, which means that while ultrafiltration is concentrated, buffer is continuously added and an equal volume of dialysate containing impurities is discharged. The wash ratio is defined as the ratio of the total volume of buffer added to the volume of the initial supernatant before concentration. The purpose is to remove impurities such as salts and small molecule metabolites in the sample, and to improve the purity of exosomes.

[0012] In the present application, the term "gel filtration chromatography" is a core step for separating exosome subgroups. Sephacryl S-400HR gel filtration column is used. Based on the difference in elution volume of exosome subgroups in gel particles, the eluate corresponding to two independent absorption peaks is collected by detecting 280 nm ultraviolet signal, and the functional subgroups are accurately separated.

[0013] In the present application, the term "immune regulation" refers to the core biological function of exosome subgroup S1, which means that the balance of immune response of the body is adjusted by inhibiting the expression of inflammatory factors (such as IL-6, TNFα, IL-1β) and regulating the polarization of immune cells. It is suitable for intervention in inflammation-related diseases or autoimmune diseases.

[0014] In the present application, the term "promoting cell regeneration" refers to the core biological function of exosome subgroup S2, which means that the proliferation of target cells such as fibroblasts and epithelial cells (such as increasing the positive rate of Ki67 and BrdU) is promoted, and the repair and regeneration of damaged tissues are accelerated. It is suitable for wound healing and tissue damage repair.

[0015] In the present application, the term "mammal" refers to a group of vertebrates with mammalian characteristics (viviparous, mammalian), and the cells derived therefrom have the ability to stably secrete functional exosomes. It includes but is not limited to human, mouse, rat, rabbit, monkey and other species. The present application preferably uses human mammalian cells (such as mesenchymal stem cells, neural stem cells, etc.), which secrete exosomes with high adaptability to physiological environment in terms of biological functions such as immune regulation and cell regeneration, and have better safety and effectiveness in clinical application.

[0016] In the present application, the term "CV" is the abbreviation of "Column Volume", which refers to the total volume of gel filler inside the gel filtration chromatography column (such as Sephacryl S-400HR chromatography column). It is the core measurement unit of buffer volume, sample volume and washing volume in chromatography operation.

[0097] 2、The preparation method of the application is suitable for mesenchymal stem cells (fat, bone marrow, umbilical cord and the like), neural stem cells, myocardial cells and the like of various mammalian cells, and it is verified through experiments that the exosomes of different cell sources can all realize subpopulation separation through the process, and the immunomodulatory activity of the S1 subpopulation and the proliferation promoting activity of the S2 subpopulation are consistent, and the universality is significantly better than that of the existing targeted separation technology. Meanwhile, the tangential flow filtration system in the process supports large-scale continuous operation, and the gel filtration chromatography can realize mass production through column volume amplification.

[0098] 3、The separated exosome subpopulation of the application has strong functional specificity: the S1 subpopulation can significantly inhibit the expression of LPS-induced macrophage inflammatory factors (IL-6, TNF alpha and IL-1 beta), and is suitable for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and inflammation-related diseases; the S2 subpopulation can efficiently promote the proliferation of fibroblasts, epithelial cells and the like, and can be used in wound repair, tissue regeneration and the like. Compared with traditional mixed exosomes, the treatment target of the subpopulation product is stronger, and the side effect is lower, which provides a new precise treatment strategy for the fields of immune regulation and cell regeneration, and has a broad clinical conversion prospect.

[0118] Example 1 Optimization of tangential flow filtration system conditions 1. Preparation of cell culture supernatant The cell culture supernatant was obtained by clarifying the human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell culture fluid collected in Basic Example 1. The cell culture fluid was filtered with a double-layer composite structure (upper layer 1.5 μm + lower layer 0.8 μm) precision Sartopore clarifying filter membrane package (part number U33CPPLELA1P) with a load of 183 L / m 2 and a filtration flow rate of 150 LMH.

[0119] 2. Optimization of tangential flow filtration system conditions 2.1 Hollow fiber filter condition optimization The tangential flow concentration system used 100 kDa, 300 kDa, 500 kDa, or 750 kDa hollow fiber filters (polysulfone material) to concentrate the cell culture supernatant 20-fold in volume, and PBS buffer (0.0067M PO4, pH 7.0-7.2) was used to wash the filter 20-fold, with a transmembrane pressure (TMP) of 0.5 bar and a flow rate of 385 LMH, to obtain concentrated solutions, respectively.

[0120] 2.2 Wash multiple optimization The tangential flow concentration system used 300 kDa hollow fiber filters (polysulfone material) to concentrate the cell culture supernatant 20-fold in volume, and PBS buffer (0.0067M PO4, pH 7.0-7.2) was used to wash the filter 5, 10, 15, 20, or 25 times, with a transmembrane pressure (TMP) of 0.5 bar and a flow rate of 385 LMH, to obtain concentrated solutions, respectively.

[0121] 3. Differential centrifugation system control The collected human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell culture solution was centrifuged at 300xg for 10 minutes, and the supernatant was taken; centrifuged at 2000xg for 10 minutes, and the supernatant was taken; centrifuged at 10000xg for 30 minutes, and the supernatant was taken; centrifuged at 100000xg at 4°C for 90 minutes, and the supernatant was removed. The remaining precipitate was resuspended in PBS and centrifuged again at 100000xg for 90 minutes. Finally, 1 mL of PBS was added to resuspend the precipitate to obtain exosomes.

[0122] 4. Determination of exosome recovery rate and exosome purity Different concentrated solutions obtained by tangential flow filtration systems under different conditions, and cell suspensions obtained by differential centrifugation system control, were analyzed by nanoparticle tracking technology (NTA) for particle size distribution in exosome subgroups and exosome concentration (particales / μL), and by BCA for protein concentration (μg / μL) in exosome subgroups, to calculate the purity of exosome subgroups.

[0123] Exosome recovery rate (%) = total particle number of finally harvested exosomes / total particle number of exosomes in human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell culture solution x 100%.

[0124] Exosome purity (particales / μg) = exosome concentration (particales / μL) / protein content (μg / μL).

[0125] 5. Determination results In the tangential flow ultrafiltration concentration process, this embodiment considered hollow fiber filters with different interception molecular weights (100kDa-750kDa) and different washing filtration multiples. The differential centrifugation (UC) method was used as a control for the classic purification method of exosomes, and the recovery rate of exosome particles and the purity were used as evaluation indexes. The results are as follows Figure 1 .

[0126] For exosome recovery rate, the differential centrifugation method had the lowest exosome recovery rate, less than 20%; the 100kDa and 300kDa filters had the highest recovery rate, both above 95%; followed by 500kDa and 750kDa. For exosome purity, 100kDa was the lowest, and the purity of exosomes from 300kDa to 750kDa was all higher than 3x10 8 particales / μg, close to the exosome purity of the differential centrifugation method. Therefore, the hollow fiber filters with interception molecular weights of 300kDa and 500kDa were selected, and the hollow fiber filter with an interception molecular weight of 300kDa was preferred.

[0127] In a tangential flow filtration system, the washing process also affects the purity of the product. In this embodiment, the effects of 5-25 times washing on the recovery rate and purity of exosomes were considered. The recovery rate was normal, and the purity increased with the increase of the washing ratio, reaching the highest value at 20 times. Therefore, 15 or 20 times is more appropriate, with 20 times being preferred.

[0128] Example 2: Optimization of Chromatography System Conditions 1. Preparation of cell culture supernatant The human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell culture medium collected in Basic Example 1 was clarified and filtered to obtain the cell culture supernatant. Clarification and filtration involved filtering the cell culture medium using a Quadrate clarification filter membrane pack (catalog number U33CPPLELA1P) with a double-layer composite structure (upper layer 1.5μm + lower layer 0.8μm) and a flow rate of 183 L / m³. 2 The filtration flow rate is 150 LMH.

[0129] 2. Concentration of cell culture supernatant The tangential flow concentration system uses a 300 kDa hollow fiber filter (polysulfone material) to concentrate the cell culture supernatant by 20 times, wash it 20 times with PBS buffer (0.0067 M PO4, pH 7.0-7.2), transmembrane pressure (TMP): 0.5 bar, flow rate 385 LMH to obtain the concentrate.

The results are shown in Figure 4 There was no significant change from 5 cm / h to 15 cm / h, indicating that the surface exosome subpopulation separation was stable and had the possibility of scale-up.

[0152] 2. Universal verification (1) Preparation of cell culture supernatant The cell culture supernatant was obtained by clarifying the cell culture supernatant obtained from different tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells and different cell types. The clarifying filtration was performed by filtering the cell culture supernatant with a double-layer composite structure (upper layer 1.5 μm + lower layer 0.8 μm) precision Sartopore clarifying filter membrane package (product number U33CPPLELA1P) with a load of 183 L / m 2 and a filtration flow rate of 150 LMH.

[0154] The results are shown in Figure 5 Although the activities of exosome subpopulations from different cells differ, the subpopulation separation method of the present application can successfully separate the subpopulations, and the activities of the S1 subpopulation are consistent with those of the umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes. The S2 subpopulation has significant cell proliferation activity, indicating that the subpopulation separation method has good universality.

[0155] Comparative Example 1 The difference between Comparative Example 1 and Example 3 is only in the step "2, concentration of cell culture supernatant". The specific steps are as follows: The tangential flow concentration system uses a 100 kDa hollow fiber filter to concentrate the cell culture supernatant 20 times, and the filter is washed with PBS buffer 25 times. The transmembrane pressure (TMP) is 0.5 bar, the flow rate is 385 LMH, and the concentrated solution is obtained.

[0156] Experimental Example 1: Verification of the purity of the exosomes of Comparative Example 1 The concentrated solution prepared in Comparative Example 1 was analyzed by nanoparticle tracking technology (NTA) to analyze the particle size distribution and exosome concentration (particales / μL) in the exosome subpopulation, and BCA was used to analyze the protein concentration (μg / μL) in the exosome subpopulation, and the purity of the exosome subpopulation was calculated.

[0157] Exosome recovery rate (%) = final harvest exosome total particle number / total particle number of exosomes in human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell culture solution x 100%.

[0158] Exosome purity (particales / μg) = exosome concentration (particales / μL) / protein content (μg / μL).

[0159] Results as shown in Table 1, in the tangential flow concentration link, the average purity of exosomes in the concentrated solution obtained by Comparative Example 1 was 5.47E+07 particles / μg, while the average purity of exosomes in the concentrated solution obtained by Example 3 was 3.53E+08 particles / μg, which was one order of magnitude different, and the higher the purity, the better the quality. Figure 6

[0160] Comparative Example 2 The difference between Comparative Example 2 and Example 3 is only in the step of "3, Sephacryl S-400 HR column purification". The specific steps are as follows: Equilibrium: equilibrate Sephacryl S-400 HR gel filtration column (purchased from Cytiva, item number 28935605) with PBS buffer (0.0067M PO4, pH 7.0-7.2), 2CV, flow rate 30cm / h.

[0161] Loading: the protein concentration of the concentrated solution is 55mg / mL, the loading volume is 3% of the column volume, and the flow rate is 15cm / h.

[0162] Elution: use PBS buffer (0.0067M PO4, pH 7.0-7.2) to flush, flow rate 15cm / h, start collection when the ultraviolet signal rises at 280nm, stop collection when it approaches the baseline level, collect the eluate in the peak range of 50-500mAU ultraviolet absorption as S1, and collect the eluate in the peak range of 500-200mAU ultraviolet absorption as S2.

[0163] CIP: use 0.5M NaOH solution to flush 2CV, flow rate 10cm / h.

[0164] Experimental Example 2 Immunomodulatory experiment and cell proliferation experiment verification of Comparative Example 2 1. Immunomodulatory experiment (1) Day 1: Place mouse macrophage RAW264.7 at 2x10 5 cells / well in a 6-well plate and culture overnight to adhere; (2) Day 2: Remove the old culture medium and add fresh culture medium containing 100ng / mL lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and continue to culture for 24h, and add 1x10 10 ​1x10 (3) Day 3: Collect the cell supernatant and centrifuge at 2000xg for 5 minutes, then take the supernatant for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to detect IL-6 expression.

[0165] 2. Cell proliferation experiment (1) Day 1: Human dermal fibroblasts HSF were seeded at a density of 4x10 4 / mL cell density into a 96-well cell culture plate overnight to adhere; (2) Day 2: Remove the old culture medium, add fresh culture medium and continue to culture for 72h, the experimental group adds 1x10 10 / mL exosomes (S1, S2 or exosome product) or concentrate (prepared in step 2), and the blank group adds an equal amount of PBS; (3) Day 5: Remove the old culture medium, add 100 μL DMEM / F12 basic culture medium and 10 μL CCK8 solution to each well of the cell culture plate, continue to incubate for 30 minutes, and measure the absorbance value (A) at 450nm. The proliferation rate%=OD experimental group / OD blank groupx100%.

[0166] 5. Determination results During the chromatography process, the protein concentration of the sample will affect the resolution of the chromatography column, resulting in failure of subpopulation separation. The results are shown in Figure 7 Table 2. The immunomodulatory activity and cell proliferation activity of Comparative Example 2 show that S1 and S2 have no significant difference and the activity is not improved compared with TFF and TFF+core700 group, indicating that when the protein concentration of the sample is more than 50mg / ml, the subpopulation separation fails.
