Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] Sepsis is a life-threatening syndrome of organ dysfunction caused by infection, with extremely high morbidity and mortality. Currently, apart from traditional symptomatic and supportive therapies such as anti-infection treatment, fluid resuscitation, and vasoactive drugs, there is still a lack of specific treatments. Among the organ dysfunctions caused by sepsis, the kidneys are one of the most commonly affected organs, and sepsis patients have a high probability of developing severe kidney injury (S-AKI). Due to the lack of effective treatments, the mortality rate of S-AKI patients is significantly higher than that of patients without kidney injury. Moreover, the mortality rate of sepsis-related kidney injury is also significantly higher than that of kidney injury from other causes. Even if survivors do not survive, their risk of progressing to chronic kidney disease is significantly increased. Therefore, developing new and effective S-AKI prevention and treatment strategies is of great practical significance.
[0003] Although human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles (hucMSC-sEV) based miRNA therapy has shown great potential, the actual content of specific miRNAs within small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) is extremely low.

[0036] Example 1 Highly loaded human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles (miR-125a-5p) GGAG Preparation of -sEV): (1) First, miR-125a-5p was artificially synthesized. GGAGmimic is specifically prepared by inserting the exosome motif GGAG into the 3' end of the miR-125a-5p nucleotide sequence (5'-UCCCUGAGACCCUUUAACCUGUGA-3' (SEQ ID NO.2)). The sequence after inserting the exosome motif GGAG is: 5'-UCCCUGAGACCCUUUAACCUGUGAGGAG-3' (SEQ ID NO.1) GGAG For mimic powder, the above process was outsourced to Shanghai Jima Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd.
[0037] Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hucMSCs) were cultured normally using NutriStem® XF Basal Medium containing 5% human platelet lysate. When the hucMSCs reached passage 6 and cell confluence reached 70-80%, miR-125a-5p was added to sterile DEPC water. GGAG Dissolve mimic powder to a concentration of 1 μg / μL, then mix with Lipofectamine™ 3000 solution and react for 15 minutes. Then add to the culture medium of hucMSCs, mix thoroughly, discard the culture medium after 6 hours, wash the cells twice with sterile PBS, and replace with serum-free and platelet lysate-free DMEM / F12 and continue culturing for 48 hours.

GGAG Store in sEV form at -80℃.
[0039] Comparative Example 1 Preparation of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles (WT-sEVs, also labeled WT) loaded with unmodified miR-125a-5p: (1) Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hucMSCs) were cultured normally using MSC NutriStem® XF Basal Medium containing 5% human platelet lysate. When the hucMSCs reached the 6th generation and the cell fusion reached 70-80%, miR-125a-5p powder (SEQ ID NO.2) was dissolved in sterile DEPC water to a concentration of 1 μg / μL. Then, it was mixed with Lipofectamine™ 3000 solution and reacted for 15 minutes. Then, it was added to the hucMSCs culture medium and mixed thoroughly. After 6 hours, the culture medium was discarded, and the cells were washed twice with sterile PBS. The culture medium was then replaced with DMEM / F12 without exosomes and cultured for another 48 hours. The culture supernatant was collected aseptically.
[0040] Step (2) is the same as step (2) in Example 1, to obtain WT-sEV, which is then marked as WT.
[0041] Comparative Example 2 Preparation of natural human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles (NC-sEVs): (1) Use MSC NutriStem Xeno & serum-free BasalMedium containing 5% human platelet lysate to culture human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hucMSCs) normally. When the hucMSCs reach the 6th generation and the cell fusion reaches 70-80%, discard the culture medium, wash the cells twice with sterile PBS, and replace with DMEM / F12 without exosomes for 48 hours. Collect the culture supernatant aseptically.
[0042] Step (2) is the same as step (2) in Example 1, to obtain NC-sEV, which is then labeled as NC.
[0043] Example 2 The miR-125a-5p prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 GGAG -sEV and NC-sEV are tested as follows: NTA detection: After calibrating the Zetaview instrument (Particle Metrix, Germany) using NTA standards, the miR-125a-5p samples obtained in Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 were analyzed using ultrapure water. GGAG -sEV and NC-sEV were diluted separately, and 1 mL was injected into the instrument. miR-125a-5p was measured in EV 488C mode. GGAG -sEV and NC-sEV particle size distributions, the results are as follows Figure 1 As shown in A in the diagram. miR-125a-5p GGAGThe average diameter of -sEV is 157.6 nm, and the average diameter of NC-sEV is 142.2 nm.
[0044] Transmission electron microscopy observation of miR-125a-5p GGAG The basic morphology of -sEV and NC-sEV: 20 μL of each of the samples prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 were sent to Beijing Zhongke Baice Testing Technology Co., Ltd. for testing. The samples were observed and photographed under a transmission electron microscope. The results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown in B in the image. miR-125a-5p GGAG -sEV and NC-sEV have a double-layered cup-shaped structure.
[0045] Western blot detection of miR-125a-5p GGAG Surface marker proteins of -sEV and NC-sEV (human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hucMSCs) were used as a control group): Total protein was extracted with RIPA lysis buffer containing 1% protease inhibitor, and protein concentration was determined by BCA method. Proteins were separated by 4%–20% SDS-PAGE and transferred to 0.22 μm PVDF membranes. The membranes were blocked with 5% skim milk at room temperature for 1 hour, followed by overnight incubation at 4°C with primary antibodies against Calnexin, TSG101, CD9, and CD81, respectively. The next day, the membranes were incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody at room temperature for 1 hour, and washed three times with TBST solution for 5 minutes each time. Protein signals were detected using a chemiluminescent gel imaging system. Results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown in C, miR-125a-5p GGAG TSG101, CD9, and CD81 were positively expressed in -sEV and NC-sEV, while Calnexin was negatively expressed.
[0046] Example 3 Evaluation of the promoting effect of exosome motif GGAG on miR-125a-5p loading into hucMSC-sEV: Real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) detection: Following the kit instructions, total RNA was obtained from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hucMSCs) and human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles (hucMSC-sEVs) using an RNA extraction kit (Nanjing Novizan Biotechnology Co., Ltd.), and the concentration was measured using a NanoDrop micro-spectrophotometer. Then, cDNA was obtained by reverse transcription using a miRNA reverse transcription kit (Sangon Biotech (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.), and the expression level of miRNA was measured by qRT-PCR using ChamQ SYBR qPCR Master Mix (Nanjing Novizan Biotechnology Co., Ltd.). U6 was used as an internal control, and 2...−ΔΔCT The relative expression levels of miRNAs were standardized. The groups in this experiment were NC (referring to those obtained in Comparative Example 2), WT (referring to those obtained in Comparative Example 1), and GGAG (referring to those obtained in Example 1).
[0047] The results are as follows Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 As shown in Figure A, the content of miR-125a-5p carrying GGAG was significantly increased in both hucMSCs and hucMSC-sEVs. Specifically, the loading amount in hucMSC-sEVs was approximately 3 times higher than that in the WT group (without GGAG), and more than 1000 times higher than that in the NC group. Crucially, compared to hucMSCs, GGAG more specifically promoted the active sorting of miR-125a-5p into hucMSC-sEVs (see Figure A). Figure 2 (B in the middle).

[0051] (4) Serological assessment of renal function: 72 hours after CLP surgery, mice were sacrificed, blood was collected, and serum was collected after centrifugation at 3000 rpm for 15 minutes. Serum creatinine (Scr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels were measured using the microplate method to assess renal function in each group of mice. Results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown in A and B, at the same intervention dose, miR-125a-5p GGAG -sEV significantly reduced Scr and BUN levels more than NC-sEV (P<0.05).

The results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown in the CE diagram, at the same intervention dose, miR-125a-5p GGAG -sEV significantly reduced the expression of NGAL, TNF-α and CCL2 more than NC-sEV (P<0.05).
[0053] (6) HE and immunohistochemical staining of kidney tissue: 72 hours after CLP surgery, mice were sacrificed to obtain kidney tissue, which was fixed, embedded in paraffin, and sectioned for HE staining to assess morphological changes. In addition, immunohistochemical staining was performed to detect NGAL expression levels. Results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown in F, at the same intervention dose, miR-125a-5p GGAG -sEV significantly reduced renal tissue damage (tubular cell shedding, interstitial congestion, inflammatory cell infiltration, etc.) and NGAL expression compared to NC-sEV.
[0054] The above results show that the miR-125a-5p described in this invention... GGAG -sEV can effectively prevent and treat sepsis-induced acute kidney injury, and its effect is significantly better than NC-sEV.
