In the present invention, the process of drug release and loading of a targeting agent loaded carrier is schematically illustrated in fig. 1.

Outside the cell, by adjusting the pH; when the vector passes through lysosomes in cells, the lysosomes are acidic in vivo, and the pH decreases and rises as the vector escapes from the lysosomes. At the target region of the aptamer of nucleic acid AS1411, the protein nanocarrier enters the cell. The acidic environment of the lysosome (pH drop) results in the disruption of the ferritin nanocage and the release of the siRNA and nuclear localization signal peptide conjugate and influenza virus hemagglutinin. The influenza virus hemagglutinin can damage a lysosome membrane, so that a combination of siRNA and a nuclear localization signal peptide escapes from a lysosome, a large amount of siRNA is released into cytoplasm, and the integrity and the effectiveness of the siRNA are maintained to the maximum extent. The siRNA is introduced into the nucleus under nuclear localization signal peptide localization.

In the whole process, the siRNA contained in the ferritin-deficient nano shell better retains the pharmacological activity, and the ferritin-deficient shell has no obvious toxic or side effect, so that a new method is provided for safer and more effective targeted delivery.

3. Preparation of siRNA/NLS
To synthesize siRNA/NLS, 20. mu.L of 1mM RNA 1(TK1Pro-siRNA sense) and 20. mu.L of 1mM RNA 2(TK1-Pro-siRNA antisense) were mixed and reacted at room temperature for 6h, and reacted with 20. mu.L of 1mM NLS under the action of 10. mu.L of 2mM EDC and 10. mu.L of 2mM NHS for 6 h. And extracting RNA from polyacrylamide gel by using a multi-gel RNA extraction kit. After RNA separation by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the gel containing the target RNA fragment was excised and crushed with two pieces of RNase-free glass. The gel was soaked in a buffer containing EDTA and transferred to a filtration column to remove gel debris. After addition of fresh binding buffer, the gel was transferred to a Hibind spin column and bound to RNA centrifugation. After a brief wash, the RNA was washed with DEPC water.
4. Preparation of Apn/siRNA/NLS/HA/Apt
0.1M hydrochloric acid was added to the ferritin to lower the pH of the solution to 2.0 and dissociate the ferritin. Add 20. mu.L siRNA/NLS and 10. mu.L 0.1mM influenza hemagglutinin to 10. mu.L 10 mg. multidot.mL-1In (3) iron deficiency protein. The solution was mixed for 15min, then 0.1M sodium hydroxide was added to raise the pH to 7.4 and encapsulate the siRNA/NLS and HA within the ferritin. The mixture was stored at 20 ℃ for 60 min. The treatment with 0.5mg/ml RNase A at 37 ℃ for 30min followed by 0.5mg/ml proteinase K at 37 ℃ for 30 min. RNase A digests all free siRNA except for iron-deficient proteins, and proteinase K degrades RNase. Apn/siRNA/NLS/HA was added to 10. mu.L of 2mM EDC and 10. mu.L of 2mM NHS for 2 h. The resulting solution was then transferred to dialysis bags (molecular weight cut-off 12-14 kD) and dialyzed against 600ml of 0.9% NaCl solution for 24h (replaced every 8h with fresh 0.9% NaCl solution) to remove free EDC and NHS. mu.L of 0.1mM aptamer (AS1411) was added to Apn/siRNA/NLS/HA to form Apn/siRNA/NLS/HA/Apt. The solution was then transferred to a dialysis bag to remove free aptamers.
Cell culture
MCF-7 cells were incubated at 37 ℃ with 5% CO2In the environment of (1), in the culture medium10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum, penicillin (50 units/mL), streptomycin (50. mu.g/mL) were added.
Characterization of Apn/siRNA/NLS/HA/Apt
We observed ferritin deficiency and Apn/siRNA/NLS/HA/Apt by transmission electron microscopy, indicating that the two substances have uniform particle size and good dispersibility (FIGS. 2 and 3). Dynamic light scattering measurements showed that the mean particle size of the ferritin-deficient nanocages was 10.57mM, while the mean particle size of the Apn/siRNA/NLS/HA/Apt increased to 13.13mM (FIG. 4), which is consistent with the results obtained by transmission electron microscopy. Meanwhile, we also detected zeta potentials of iron-deficient protein and Apn/siRNA/NLS/HA/Apt. It was found that the ferritin-deficient potential was reduced from-5.02 mV to-9.87 mV after modification (FIG. 5).
Compared to normal tissues, the tumor microenvironment has a higher acidic pH, and cancer cells strongly depend on glycolysis rather than oxidative phosphorylation to consume energy to increase biosynthesis, resulting in increased acidity of lactate production. Ferritin-deficient nanocages can break down into protein subunits and release encapsulated molecules in an acidic environment. We evaluated the performance of Apn/siRNA/NLS/HA/Apt to selectively release the targeting substance in the tumor microenvironment under simulated physiological conditions (PBS, pH7.4) and acidic environment (acetate buffer, pH 5.5). The release of the target substance is verified by an in vitro fluorescence intensity method. Apn/siRNA/NLS/HA/apt3h, 6h, 9h, 12h, 15h and 24h were first incubated at pH5.5, pH7.4 and 37 ℃ and the release of siRNA was then monitored by measuring the fluorescence intensity of the solution. The results are shown in FIG. 6. As can be seen from fig. 6, the protein nanocarrier of the present invention can efficiently release the target substance when pH is lowered.
Cytotoxicity assays
MCF-7 cells were seeded in 96-well plates at a density of 1X 10 per well4And (4) cells. After 12h, cells were treated with ferritin-deficient protein, ferritin-deficient protein/siRNA/Apt, Apn/siRNA/nuclear localization signal peptide/Apt, ferritin-deficient protein/siRNA/HA/Apt, and Apn/siRNA/NLS/HA/Apt, respectively. After treatment, the cells were detected with a microplate reader and the absorbance recorded. The results show that the survival rate of MCF-7 cells incubated by ferritin is higher (>96 percent) and fully proves that the ferritin-deficient nano-scaleThe cage has good biocompatibility. The ferritin/siRNA has certain toxicity to cells, but the toxicity of the ferritin/siRNA/Apt group is obviously lower than that of the ferritin/siRNA/Apt group due to the lack of targeting and escape capability. Compared with the control group, the cytotoxicity of the Apn/siRNA/nuclear localization signal peptide/Apt and the iron-deficient protein/siRNA/HA/Apt is obviously higher than that of the former two groups, but still lower than that of the Apn/siRNA/NLS/HA/Apt group. The survival rate of the cells treated by the Apn/siRNA/NLS/HA/Apt is reduced to 38 percent, which shows that the influenza virus hemagglutinin and the nuclear localization signal peptide play important roles in lysosome escape and siRNA translocation to the nucleus, and the siRNA also HAs good therapeutic effect on tumor cells, thereby being a promising therapeutic strategy (figure 7).
Flow cytometry assay
Cell uptake experiments were performed under flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy. Cell density of 1X 105The MCF-7 cells of (A) were isolated and collected in serum-free colorless DMEM medium. The cells were then cultured at 37 ℃. Next, a conjugate of ferritin-deficient protein/Cy 5-siRNA and nuclear localization signal peptide/HA/Apt was added and cultured for 8 h. The residue containing the cell particles was again placed in DMEM medium (1mg/mL) containing trypsin and cultured for another 1 min. Finally, the suspension was resuspended in PBS by centrifugation and analyzed by flow cytometry. The larger the peak value, the stronger the fluorescence intensity. From fig. 8, it can be found that the peak position is significantly shifted and the fluorescence intensity is significantly increased.
Feasibility study of combination of ferritin/Cy 5-siRNA and nuclear localization signal peptide/HA/Apt for cell fluorescence imaging
MCF-7 cells were seeded on glass substrates at a density of 8000 cells per plate under a fluorescence microscope and incubated for 12 h. In the Apn/siRNA/NLS/HA/Apt uptake studies, cells were treated with a conjugate of Apn/Cy5-siRNA and nuclear localization signal peptide/HA/Apt for 6h and 12h, respectively, and cells were treated with ferritin for 6 h. MCF-7 cells were then washed 3 times with PBS. Then, nuclei were labeled with DAPI and cell membranes were labeled with DIO. MCF-7 cells were washed 3 times with PBS. Finally, the slides were mounted and viewed directly with a Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope (LSCM). As can be seen from FIG. 9, the ferritin-deficient protein of group A HAs substantially no fluorescence, and the conjugated product of Apn/Cy5-siRNA and nuclear localization signal peptide/HA/Apt of group B shows strong fluorescence, which can be distinguished from normal cells, and the imaging effect is very good. The fluorescence of the conjugate of the Apn/Cy5-siRNA and the nuclear localization signal peptide/HA/Apt is stable, the C picture shows that the conjugate of the Apn/Cy5-siRNA and the nuclear localization signal peptide/HA/Apt still HAs obvious fluorescence after the Apn/Cy5-siRNA and the nuclear localization signal peptide are incubated for 12 hours, and the good targeting capability and the stable imaging effect of the conjugate of the Apn/Cy5-siRNA and the nuclear localization signal peptide/HA/Apt are fully proved.
The foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, various modifications and decorations can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these modifications and decorations should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
