Description

Preparation method and application of red fluorescent gold nanocluster and targeting compound thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a nano material and a targeting compound, in particular to a red fluorescent gold nanocluster and a preparation method and application of the targeting compound.
Background
In recent years, fluorescent gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) have been spotlighted as promising novel fluorescent nanomaterials due to their unique physicochemical and good optical properties. It is reported in the literature that fluorescent AuNCs are typically composed of several to several hundred Au atoms, with dimensions less than 2nm, comparable to the fermi wavelength of electrons. Unlike large gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), ultra-small fluorescent AuNCs do not exhibit surface plasmon resonance absorption in the visible region, but possess significant fluorescence emission in the Near Infrared (NIR) of the visible region. By designing and controlling the size, AuNCs can have the excellent characteristics of larger Stokes shift, quantum confinement effect, long service life, strong photoluminescence, water solubility, light stability, biocompatibility and the like. Thanks to these excellent properties, fluorescent AuNCs have broad application prospects in biomarker, biosensing, bioimaging, and targeted cancer therapy applications.
To obtain fluorescent AuNCs, researchers explored a number of synthetic approaches. Such as ultrasonic synthesis, seed growth method, micro emulsion method, single layer protection method, phase transfer synthesis, etching method, etc. These processes can be generally classified into bottom-up processes and top-down processes. However, the methods are complicated in preparation process, time-consuming and environmentally-friendly, so that the synthesis of fluorescent AuNCs by using a simpler and more environmentally-friendly method is very meaningful. Meanwhile, the AuNCs are functionalized on the basis of synthesis, and diversified clusters are prepared and have more excellent properties, so that the AuNCs can be widely applied. For example, Qiao et al in 2013 use Ova-protected AuNCs as an imaging part, FA as a targeting ligand and a PNAS homopolymer as a linker to prepare a nano conjugate FA-Ova-AuNCs, which indicates that the nano conjugate FA-Ova-AuNCs is expected to be an imaging agent for potential early tumor diagnosis. In 2016, Wang et al used self-assembly of gold nanoclusters with carborane amino derivatives (GNCs-CB) to bioimage cancer cells and target delivery of such carborane compounds into tumors. The nano fluorescent probes open up a new way for targeted tumor detection. At present, the synthesis process of fluorescent AuNCs is complex, and the reports of functionalized fluorescent AuNCs are few. Therefore, it is important to synthesize fluorescent AuNCs by a simple and green method.
In conclusion, aiming at the current situation that the synthesis process of fluorescent AuNCs is complex and few functional fluorescent AuNCs are reported, the method aims to synthesize the fluorescent AuNCs by a simple method and form a gold nanocluster compound by self-assembling Hyaluronic Acid (HA) and the prepared fluorescent AuNCs, and hopes that the fluorescent AuNCs become a targeting system with multiple advantages of stable synthesis technology, stable fluorescence, good biocompatibility, low in vivo toxicity, successful targeting of tumor cells and the like, and a new strategy is provided for identification and diagnosis of clinical cancers.

Example 13
Application experiment of gold nanocluster complex prepared in example 8 in targeted cell imaging:
HeLa cells grown in logarithmic phase (density: 1.0X 10)5One dish) were inoculated in a 35mm petri dish and placed in an incubator (37 ℃, 5% CO)2) Culturing until the cells are attached, discarding old solution, washing the cells with PBS buffer solution, and treating the cells with different materials. Specifically, one group of cells was incubated with the gold nanocluster complex (1mg/ml) for 2 hours, and the other group of cells was pretreated with hyaluronic acid (8mg/ml) for 30 minutes and then incubated with the gold nanocluster complex (1mg/ml) for 2 hours. A further group of cells was incubated with gold nanoclusters (1mg/ml) for 2 hours. Normal (3T3) cells were used as a control group and incubated with gold nanocluster complexes (1mg/ml) for 2 hours. Next, all the culture solution in the cell culture dish was aspirated, the cells were washed with PBS, and the cells were fixed with paraformaldehyde. Finally, the cells were observed by fluorescence microscopy and pictures were taken.
Application of the gold nanocluster complex in targeted cell imaging is shown in FIG. 11 (Bright: cell Bright field photograph, Red: gold nanocluster complex labeled cell fluorescence imaging (excitation wavelength of 405nm), Merge: superposition field.) cell labeling is observed under a fluorescence microscope, Bright Red fluorescence appears in tumor cells (HeLa) only treated by the gold nanocluster complex, and the Red fluorescence is weaker in tumor cells pretreated by hyaluronic acid and then treated by the gold nanocluster complex. The red fluorescence in tumor cells treated with gold nanoclusters was also weak. The gold nanocluster compound can target tumor cells. And the red fluorescence in normal cells (3T3) treated by the gold nanocluster compound is very weak, further indicating that the gold nanocluster compound has the tumor targeting property.
Example 14
Targeting of the gold nanocluster complex prepared in example 8 was examined by flow cytometry:
the targeting property of the gold nanocluster compound is quantitatively analyzed by a flow cytometer. HeLa cells, MCF-7 cells and HepG2 cells overexpressed with hyaluronic acid receptors were used as tumor cell models. In contrast, 3T3 cells and DC cells with low expression of hyaluronic acid receptors were selected as normal cell models. Tumor cells were added at 1X 10 per well5The density of individual cells was seeded into 35mm dishes. After 18 hours of cell growth, the cells were first washed with PBS and then treated with different materials. Specifically, one group of cells was incubated with gold nanocluster complex (1mg/mL) for 2 hours, another group of cells was incubated with gold nanoclusters (1mg/mL) for 2 hours, and the other group of cells was pretreated with hyaluronic acid (8mg/mL) for 30 minutes and then incubated with gold nanocluster complex (1mg/mL) for 2 hours. The experimental treatment of normal (3T3) cells was performed by incubating the cells with gold nanocluster complexes (1mg/mL) for 2 hours. After treatment, sucking out all culture solution in the cell culture dish, washing cells with PBS, then, re-suspending the cells in PBS buffer solution through trypsin hydrolysis without EDTA, and finally, detecting the fluorescence intensity of an emission peak at 650nm through flow cytometry to compare uptake of the cells to the nanoparticles in each experimental group so as to judge the targeting property of the gold nanocluster compound.
The targeting results of the gold nanocluster complex prepared in example 8 by flow cytometry are shown in fig. 12, and the fluorescence intensity of the cells such as HeLa, MCF-7 and HepG2 incubated by the gold nanocluster complex is very strong (fig. 12A), which indicates that a large amount of nanoparticles are absorbed by three tumor cells. However, HeLa, MCF-7 and HepG2 cells were pre-treated with free hyaluronic acid for 30 minutes before incubating them with the gold nanocluster complex. The fluorescence intensity was found to be significantly lower in these three cells than in cells without pretreatment, indicating that free hyaluronic acid inhibits nanoparticle uptake by tumor cells. The calculated inhibition rates are 80.56%, 85.45% and 65.04%, respectively, and it can be seen that the targeting effect of the nanoparticles on MCF-7 is optimal, and HeLa cells are followed by HepG2 cells which are the worst, due to the fact that hyaluronic acid receptors (CD44) expressed on the surfaces of different tumor cells are different, HA on the surface of the gold nanocluster complex is specifically combined with CD44 receptors overexpressed on the surfaces of several tumor cells, and the gold nanocluster complex can target the tumor cells. In addition, for the group of normal cells 3T3 and DC cells (low expression CD44) treated by the gold nanocluster complex (fig. 12A), the intracellular fluorescence intensity is very low, which indicates that the two normal cells take up the nanoparticles very little, which indirectly proves that the nanoparticles have tumor targeting. Fig. 12B is a bar graph of the fluorescence intensity in each treated cell, clearly showing that the uptake of gold nanocluster complexes by the above three tumor cells is significantly greater than that of the above normal cells. Thus, the results described above well demonstrate that the prepared gold nanocluster complex can target tumor cells.
