Description

Acid-sensitive fusion peptide targeted exosome and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of biological medicines, in particular to an acid-sensitive fusion peptide targeted exosome, a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Gastric Cancer (GC) is one of five common cancers worldwide, has been identified as one of the major causes of Cancer-related deaths worldwide, and according to statistics of international Cancer institutions, 100 or more tens of thousands of new cases of Gastric Cancer worldwide and about 76.9 tens of thousands of deaths have occurred by 2020. Because early clinical symptoms of gastric cancer patients are not obvious and specific indexes are poor, more than 70% of patients are in the late stage when diagnosis is confirmed, and the optimal period of operation and radiotherapy is missed. Traditional chemotherapeutic drugs and targeted therapeutic drugs have gradually poor clinical treatment effects due to drug resistance and side effects of cytotoxicity. Therefore, the search for new anti-cancer drugs has great significance, and especially, low-toxicity and high-efficiency anti-tumor drugs are important and hot points of research in the world. Compared with synthetic chemical drugs, traditional Chinese medicines derived from natural plants have many advantages, such as: low toxicity, high safety, multiple routes, multiple targets, etc.
Because the traditional Chinese medicine has the synergistic and pharmacokinetic actions of various active compounds, the traditional Chinese medicine preparation plays an outstanding role in treating various diseases. At present, a plurality of traditional Chinese medicine formulas and traditional Chinese medicine monomers are successfully used for anti-tumor treatment. For example, the anti-tumor effect of the traditional Chinese medicine monomer curcumin has been widely studied, and can inhibit the occurrence, progress, invasion, metastasis and the like of tumors. Researchers found that hesperetin monomers are able to promote cisplatin-induced apoptosis of gastric cancer cells in vitro and in vivo by up-regulating PTEN expression in traditional Chinese medicine anti-gastric cancer therapies. Zhang et al found that luteolin induced apoptosis of gastric cancer cells SGC-7901 by affecting cell cycle progression to inhibit tumor cell activity. Although the traditional Chinese medicine shows good anti-tumor property in clinical research, the traditional Chinese medicine has the defects of low stability, poor water solubility, fast in-vivo metabolism, low bioavailability and the like, so that the traditional Chinese medicine is limited in clinical application, and therefore, a carrier with good stability and biocompatibility is urgently needed to improve the drug characteristics.
The exosomes are membrane vesicles with the diameter of about 30-150nm released outside cells after fusion of intracellular multivesicular bodies and cell membranes, and comprise a plurality of intracellular substances such as RNA, protein, DNA fragments and the like. The exosomes can shuttle among cells, are favorable for the exchange of intercellular substances and information, and can be loaded with chemotherapeutic drugs and siRNA for targeted treatment. Exosomes have natural advantages as drug carriers: (1) The nanometer size is provided, so that the capture of the reticuloendothelial system can be easily escaped in the body; (2) The phospholipid bilayer structure has a phospholipid bilayer structure, is similar to the cell membrane in composition, has stronger affinity to the cell membrane, and is convenient for entering cells; (3) Belongs to endogenous vesicles, can not cause immune response when entering the body as a carrier, and can not be identified as non-self substances by the immune system in the body to be phagocytized; (4) It is derived from cells, contains a plurality of transmembrane proteins on the surface, can be modified by gene, and adding ligand short peptide capable of targeting target cells at the tail end of a proper protein, so as to realize in vivo targeted treatment.
The low pH intercalating peptide (pH low insertion peptide, pHLIP) is derived from the C-helix of bacterial rhodopsin and is a water soluble molecule that interacts with the lipid membrane in a pH dependent manner. pHLIP has the ability to target acidic tissues and dual delivery, and various exogenous molecules can be delivered to the cell surface and within cells by coupling to the N-or C-terminus of pHLIP. pHLIP has been demonstrated to target tumor acidic microenvironment, and its targeting delivery system has strong specificity advantage compared with traditional targeting nanocarriers and transmembrane peptides, and has the following advantages in application: pHLIP is insensitive to the heterogeneous expression of receptors or antigens in tumor cells; pHLIP has specific markers that actively target the acidic tumor microenvironment; pHLIP not only can accurately target primary tumor focus and metastasis focus, but also can develop more application aspects by utilizing the characteristic that pHLIP is inserted into the surface of tumor cell membrane. The pHLIP technology can deliver different types of functional molecules into cells for treatment and diagnosis, has better application prospect in clinic, but still has the defect of needing to be optimized at present, wherein the improvement of the synthesis efficiency of pHLIP and exogenous molecules can obviously improve the clinical transformation capability of pHLIP and exogenous molecules. Although pHLIP has been shown to have specific targeting effect on acidic tumor microenvironment, there is still a need to further improve the targeting efficiency, and it is required to screen patients for inflammatory diseases in clinical application, thereby improving the specificity of pHLIP.
