Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biomedicine, specifically relating to a multifunctional shell material HPSO, its preparation method, and its uses. Background Technology

[0002] Gene therapy refers to a novel approach that delivers therapeutic genes to target organs or tissues via vectors to repair damaged or missing genes and exert therapeutic effects. Current gene therapy strategies primarily include the introduction of tumor suppressor genes, suicide genes, siRNA, drug resistance genes, immune genes, and the CRISPR-Cas9 system. Therefore, the key to gene therapy lies in how to efficiently and with low toxicity deliver exogenous genes into target cells. The lack of highly efficient and low-toxicity gene vectors is one of the significant factors limiting the development of gene therapy. The design of gene vectors has become one of the cutting-edge research areas.

[0003] Currently, widely used gene vectors are mainly divided into viral vectors and non-viral vectors. Viral vectors include retroviruses, adenoviruses, and adeno-associated viruses. The simplest viral core is nucleic acid (DNA or RNA), surrounded by a layer of regularly arranged protein subunits called the capsid. The morphological subunits that make up the capsid are called capsomeres, and the particle composed of nucleic acid and capsid proteins is called the nucleocapsid. Viral vectors can effectively integrate exogenous genes into the host chromosome, thereby achieving persistent expression of the target sequence. In terms of infectivity, they can effectively infect various cell types such as neurons, hepatocytes, cardiomyocytes, tumor cells, endothelial cells, and stem cells, thus achieving good gene therapy effects. For some cells that are difficult to transfect, such as primary cells, stem cells, and undifferentiated cells, the use of lentiviral vectors can greatly improve the transduction efficiency of the target gene, and greatly increase the probability of the target gene integrating into the host cell genome, enabling relatively convenient and rapid long-term and stable expression of the target gene. Although viral vectors have high gene transfection efficiency, they have two serious safety issues: immunogenicity and gene insertion mutations.

[0004] In recent years, with the rapid development of pharmaceutics, materials science, and other disciplines, a large number of synthetic and natural materials have emerged, and non-viral vectors have attracted much attention. These include cationic liposomes or lipid complexes and cationic polymers. Their advantages as vectors include the ability to deliver large-sized nucleic acids; well-defined chemical structures; and ease of commercialization. However, non-viral vectors have low gene transfection efficiency, which cannot meet the needs of gene therapy. Therefore, it is necessary to chemically modify non-viral vectors to improve their transfection efficiency.

[0005] In gene delivery research, cationic materials are widely used due to their ability to efficiently compress and deliver negatively charged nucleic acids through electrostatic interactions. However, their strongly positively charged surfaces can easily cause blood compatibility issues, non-specific tissue accumulation, and systemic toxicity under intravenous administration conditions, severely limiting clinical translation. Therefore, coating a cationic core with a negatively charged or electrically neutral shell has become an important strategy in the design of non-viral vectors. However, this "charge shielding" process often weakens charge-driven cellular uptake and endocytosis efficiency, leading to decreased transfection efficiency and creating a typical contradiction between in vivo safety and transfection efficiency.

[0035] 2. Experimental Results The proton NMR spectrum is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the Fourier transform infrared spectrum is as follows: Figure 2 As shown. By Figure 1 and Figure 2 It can be seen that the present invention successfully synthesized HPSO.

[0036] Test Example 2: Verification of the multifunctionality of the non-viral shell material HPSO of the present invention 1. Experimental Methods 1.1 Preparation of cationic gene vector PA The cationic gene vector PA was prepared according to the method described in Example 1 of Chinese Patent No. CN112210077B. The specific method is as follows: Arginine and polyethyleneimine with a molecular weight of 1800 were prepared according to a molar ratio of arginine to primary amino groups in polyethyleneimine of 1:2. First, 0.1 mol of arginine was dissolved in 9 mL of MES buffer, and 0.6 mg of EDCI / NHS was added as a catalyst. Catalysis was carried out at 25 °C for 4 h, with a mass ratio of EDCI to NHS of 1:2. Subsequently, 12.5 mmol of polyethyleneimine with a molecular weight of 1800 (1 mol of polyethyleneimine with a molecular weight of 1800 contains 16 mol of primary amino groups) and the catalyzed arginine were dissolved together in 12 mL of N-N-dimethylformamide to obtain a mixed solution. 0.5 mL of triethylamine was added to the mixed solution as a catalyst. The above reaction system was then placed at 25 °C and stirred for 72 h to carry out the substitution reaction. After the reaction was completed, the reaction system was transferred into a dialysis bag with a molecular weight cutoff of 1000 and dialyzed in double-distilled water for 3 days. The dialyzed solution was filtered through a 0.45 μm filter membrane and then freeze-dried to obtain a white powder product, which is the arginine-modified polyethyleneimine (PA) of this invention. The molar substitution ratio of primary amine hydrogen in the arginine-modified polyethyleneimine is 29%.

[0037] 1.2 Verification of the multifunctionality of the non-viral shell material HPSO of this invention The cationic gene vector PA and PX330 plasmid (pDNA) were mixed at a mass ratio of 5:1 and incubated for 20 minutes to form a PA@pDNA complex. Then, HPSO (HPSO, PA and pDNA in a mass ratio of 20:5:1, 20 / 5 / 1 μg) or HA (HA, PA and pDNA in a mass ratio of 20:5:1, 20 / 5 / 1 μg) prepared in Example 1 of this invention was added to the PA@pDNA complex, and the mixture was incubated for 25 minutes to form HPSOC or HAC, respectively.

[0038] This invention simulates a tumor microenvironment with high HAase expression. By modifying the conditions, a certain amount of hyaluronidase (HAase) was added to HPSOC, and the degradation products were analyzed. The specific experimental steps were as follows: HPSOC was added to 200 μL of a 100 μg / ml hyaluronidase (HAase) PBS solution (HPSOC concentration was 5 mg / ml), and then incubated at 37°C for 24 h to evaluate the hyaluronidase responsiveness. The obtained product was HPSOC + HAase.

[0039] HPSOC was added to 200 μL of 3% H2O2 (HPSOC concentration was 5 mg / ml), and then incubated at 37℃ for 24 h. The product obtained was HPSOC + H2O2.

[0040] The PA@pDNA complex, HPSOC, HPSOC+HAase product, and HPSOC+H2O2 product were analyzed: the particle size distribution, polydispersity index (PDI), and zeta potential of the PA@pDNA complex, HPSOC, HPSOC+HAase product, and HPSOC+H2O2 product were detected by dynamic light scattering (DLS).

[0041] pDNA and PA were incubated together at room temperature for 30 minutes at mass ratios of 1:2, 1:5, 1:10, 1:15, and 1:20. Then, HPSO, pDNA, and PA were incubated together for another 30 minutes at mass ratios of 20 μg, 2 μg, and 10 μg, respectively. The incubated nanoparticles were then added to the wells of an agarose gel and separated by electrophoresis at 120 V for 30 minutes.

[0042] 2. Experimental Results This invention measured the particle size and zeta potential of the PA@pDNA complex and HPSOC. The particle sizes of PA@pDNA and HPSOC were 92.5 ± 1.1 nm and 195.6 ± 0.5 nm, respectively. Figure 3 a). The zeta potentials of PA@pDNA and HPSOC were +19.7±1.6 mV and -30.5±2.0 mV, respectively. Figure 3 b).

[0043] To investigate the enzyme's responsiveness and degradability, HPSOC was co-incubated with hydrogen peroxide or hyaluronidase for 24 hours, respectively. After incubation, the particle size of HPSOC decreased from 195.6 ± 0.5 nm to 164.7 ± 2.5 nm and 106.2 ± 1.4 nm, respectively. Figure 3 a). Simultaneously, the Zeta potential of HPSOC changed from -30.5 ± 2.0 mV to -28.3 ± 2.1 mV and +15.4 ± 1.4 mV, respectively. Figure 3 b). Agarose gel electrophoresis showed that HPSOC could efficiently compress the loaded plasmid ( Figure 3 c).

[0044] Oxaliplatin in HPSO is a hydrophobic drug. This invention links it to HA via a chemical reaction, making it water-soluble. It can also form water-soluble nanoparticles without reducing transfection efficiency. Furthermore, it can activate the immune system.

[0045] The above experimental results demonstrate that the HPSOC prepared in this invention is responsive to hyaluronidase and H2O2.

[0046] Example 3: Verification of the transfection efficiency of HPSO, the non-viral outer shell material of the present invention. 1. Experimental Methods PEI 25K and PA were used as gene vectors to inoculate EGFP plasmids, resulting in PEI 25K@EGFP and PA@EGFP, respectively. PA was prepared according to the method described in Example 2. The mass ratio of PEI 25K to EGFP plasmid was 2.66 μg:2 μg, and after incubation for 20 minutes, PEI 25K@EGFP was obtained; the mass ratio of PA to EGFP plasmid was 20 μg:2 μg, and after incubation for 20 minutes, PA@EGFP was obtained. HPSO prepared in Example 1 of this invention (mass ratio of HPSO, PA, and EGFP plasmid was 40 μg:20 μg:2 μg) was added to PA@EGFP, and after incubation for 20 minutes, HPSO@EGFP was obtained. The prepared PEI 25K@EGFP, PA@EGFP, and HPSO@EGFP were added to LLC cells for transfection and co-incubation. After incubation for 6 hours, the medium was replaced with normal 1640 double-sided medium, and cultured for 48 hours. Fluorescence photography and flow cytometry were then performed.

[0047] 2. Experimental Results This invention verifies the tumor cell transfection capability of HPSOC, such as... Figure 4 As shown in 4a and 4b, the results indicate that, compared to the control group PEI 25K (transfection efficiency of approximately 32%), HPSOC exhibits a significantly higher cell transfection efficiency for lung cancer cells (transfection efficiency of approximately 90%), similar to that of cationic vectors. The experimental results demonstrate that adding the shell material HPSO of this invention does not reduce the transfection efficiency of the cationic gene vector.

[0048] Test Example 4: Toxicity Verification of HPSO, the Non-Virus Coating Material of the Present Invention 1. Experimental Methods The cytotoxicity of HPSO prepared in Example 1 was assessed using the MTT assay. LLC cells in logarithmic growth phase were seeded in 96-well plates (5000 cells / well) and cultured overnight to allow complete cell adhesion. Cells were treated with different concentrations (0, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 100, 160, and 320 μg / mL) of HPSO for 48 hours. Then, 20 μL of MTT (5 mg / mL) was added to each well, and the cells were cultured for another 4 hours. Finally, the culture medium was discarded, and 150 μL of DMSO was added to each well to dissolve the formazan precipitate. The absorbance was measured at 570 nm to calculate cell viability. Each experiment was performed in triplicate.

[0049] 2. Experimental Results MTT assay results showed that the shell material HPSO prepared in this invention had no significant cytotoxicity and did not affect the expression of plasmid DNA delivered by the HPSOC system.

[0050] Experimental Example 5: Verification of the immune activation of HPSO, the non-viral shell material of the present invention. 1. Experimental Methods HPSOC was prepared according to the method described in Example 2. To investigate the in vitro activation and activating effects of HPSOC on DC cells and T cells, this invention set up an experiment involving HA and PEG. 2000 Oxa and HPSO were co-incubated with PA@pDNA (prepared according to the method described in Example 2) using the same method as in Example 2, except that HPSO was replaced. HPSO (which can be replaced with HA or PEG) was added to each well (6-well plate). 2000 The mass ratios of HAC, PEG, and Oxa, PA, and plasmid were 20 μg: 5 μg: 1 μg, and after 20 minutes, HAC and PEG were obtained, respectively. 2000 C, OxaC, and HPSOC. HAC and PEG. 2000 C and OxaC were mixed at a mass ratio of 1:1:1 (HPO group) and then added to LLC cells for transfection and co-incubation. HPSOC was added to LLC cells for transfection and co-incubation. After 6 hours, the medium was replaced with normal 1640 double-sided medium and cultured for 48 hours. Subsequently, the transfected tumor cells were co-incubated with DC cells for 72 hours. A portion of the DC cells were used to detect DC cell maturation and activation by flow cytometry (CD40, CD80, CD86, CD83) and ELISA (IFN-γ, TNF-α). Another portion of the DC cells were co-incubated with T cells, and after 72 hours, IFN-γ and TNF-α cytokines were detected by ELISA to characterize T cell activation.

[0051] 2. Experimental Results Experimental results show that ( Figure 5 In contrast, incubating HA, PEG, Oxa, and HPSO individually with the PA@pDNA complex and then co-incubating them with tumor cells (HPO group) did not induce the maturation and activation of dendritic cells (DCs) and T cells. This is mainly because the individual component combinations alone do not promote efficient plasmid transfection and immune activation. However, the HPSOC group effectively promoted DC maturation and activation, as well as T cell activation, indicating that HPSOC can effectively transfect tumor cells, enhance the synergistic tumor-killing ability of functional plasmids and drugs, and increase the release of effective antigens, thereby inducing immune activation. Therefore, this demonstrates that HPSOC is not simply a matter of component and functional superposition.

[0052] The above experimental results demonstrate that this invention successfully prepared a multifunctional shell material, HPSO, which carries a certain negative charge and can bind to cationic carriers, shielding them from positive charges. This overcomes the problem of existing cationic carriers binding to negatively charged proteins in blood, causing hemolysis and other highly toxic side effects. Furthermore, the shell material prepared from the specific raw materials of this invention exhibits a synergistic immune activation effect, and the transfection efficiency remains unchanged, showing excellent prospects for clinical application.

[0053] In summary, this invention provides a multifunctional shell material, HPSO. When combined with a gene-carrying cationic polymer gene vector, HPSO shields its positive charge, giving the gene vector a negative charge. This negatively charged gene vector can be administered intravenously for in vivo therapy, overcoming the problem of hemolysis and other severe toxic side effects caused by the binding of existing cationic polymer gene vectors to negatively charged proteins in the blood. Furthermore, the transfection efficiency of the cationic polymer gene vector is not reduced after combining with this shell material. In addition, the non-viral shell material HPSO of this invention can enhance immune activation. The HPSO shell material of this invention shows promising application prospects in the preparation of gene vectors for in vivo therapy.
