Description

Afterglow luminescent nano material and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of nano materials, in particular to an afterglow luminescent nano material and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Optical imaging plays an essential role in the field of biomedical imaging with its non-invasiveness, high temporal and spatial resolution and high sensitivity. The imaging-guided tumor resection can help the operator to quickly and accurately judge the position of a focus, judge a cutting edge or avoid important parts. The development of intraoperative imaging technology makes the surgery faster, more accurate and safer, which is of great significance for the prognosis of patients. Currently, optical imaging guided tumor resection has become an attractive imaging strategy in clinical surgery, which can help clinicians to identify tumors more quickly and accurately, and indocyanine green (ICG) has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for clinical fluorescence imaging guided tumor resection.
However, fluorescence imaging, which is a conventional optical imaging method, requires real-time optical excitation, and thus is susceptible to interference of tissue autofluorescence, resulting in a problem of low signal-to-noise ratio. In the tumor resection operation guided by fluorescence imaging, the interference of tissue autofluorescence can be generated due to the real-time light excitation required by fluorescence imaging, so that a higher background signal can be generated, a lower signal-to-background ratio can be caused, the judgment of an operator can be interfered, and the tumor resection effect of the operation can be influenced.
In contrast, afterglow luminescence refers to a phenomenon in which a material continues to emit light after light irradiation is stopped. Owing to its unique luminescence property, afterglow luminescent materials have been widely used in the field of optical diagnostics of biomedicine in recent years. As the afterglow material only needs to be excited by pre-illumination and does not need real-time light excitation, the interference of autofluorescence of biological tissues is reduced, and compared with fluorescence imaging, afterglow imaging has higher signal-to-noise ratio and tissue detection depth, and the advantages make the afterglow imaging optical probe have great potential as a biological imaging optical probe and an ideal imaging mode in imaging-guided tumor resection. At present, the development of organic afterglow luminescent materials is in the beginning stage, and only a few organic afterglow luminescent materials have been reported to have afterglow luminescent properties.
The afterglow luminescent materials at present are divided into inorganic afterglow luminescent materials and organic afterglow luminescent materials, wherein the inorganic afterglow luminescent materials are mostly composed of rare earth metal doped alkali metal aluminate (for example: SrAl)2O4:Eu2+-Dy3+) (ii) a The organic afterglow luminescent materials reported at present can be divided into two main categories, namely semiconductor polymers including poly-p-phenylene vinylene polymers (such as MEH-PPV) and thiophene polymers (such as PFODBT), and co-doped afterglow luminescent nano materials using a photosensitizer as an initiator and a chemiluminescent substance as a luminescent substrate. The inorganic afterglow luminescent material has harsh synthesis conditions and is doped with heavy metals such as rare earth metals, etc., resulting in greater biotoxicity. Compared with inorganic afterglow luminescent materials, the organic afterglow luminescent materials have wider application prospect in the biomedical imaging field due to the advantages of better biocompatibility, adjustable luminescence, simple and convenient synthesis, easy functional modification, low price and the like. As an important organic afterglow luminescent material, the semiconductor polymer still has no advantages of organic small molecule materials in the aspects of biodegradability and biological long-term safety, and the organic afterglow nano material of a multi-doped system is still required to be further explored in the aspect of biological safety due to the complexity of components.

The experimental methods used in the following examples are conventional methods unless otherwise specified, and materials, reagents and the like used therein are commercially available without otherwise specified.
Example 1: preparation of organic afterglow luminescent nano material NPs-Ce4 nano particle and research of afterglow luminescent mechanism
The NPs-Ce4 nano-particle solution is synthesized by a nano-coprecipitation method, and the specific method comprises the following steps:
a mixed tetrahydrofuran solution (1mL) containing chlorin e4(Ce4) (0.15mg/mL) and amphiphilic triblock copolymer polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene-polyoxyethylene (PEG-b-PPG-b-PEG) (40mg/mL) was rapidly injected into deionized water (9mL) under continuous vigorous ultrasound. The tetrahydrofuran was slowly removed with a gentle stream of nitrogen. The nanoparticle solution was then concentrated using ultracentrifugation using a 30kDa ultrafiltration tube. Thereafter, the nanoparticle concentrated solution was diluted with 1 × PBS buffer and then stored at 4 ℃ in the absence of light.
FIG. 2 is a graph showing the hydrated particle size distribution of NPs-Ce4 nanoparticles in 1 XPBS buffer. As can be seen from the figure, the particle size of the NPs-Ce4 nano-particles is relatively uniform, and most of the NPs-Ce4 nano-particles are distributed in the range of 10-30 nm.
FIG. 3 is a transmission electron microscope image of NPs-Ce4 nanoparticles. TEM images showed that NPs-Ce4 were nanoparticulated in PBS buffer.
FIG. 4 shows the absorption spectrum of NPs-Ce4 nanoparticles (5. mu.g/mL) in 1 XPBS buffer. As a result, the NPs-Ce4 nanoparticles have absorption peaks at 400nm, 670nm, etc., and can absorb the excitation light in these wavelength bands.
FIG. 5 is a normalized fluorescence spectrum of NPs-Ce4 nanoparticles in 1 XPBS buffer. The results show that the NPs-Ce4 nanoparticles can emit fluorescence with the wavelength of 670 nm.
FIG. 6 is a normalized afterglow luminescence spectrum of NPs-Ce4 nanoparticles in 1 XPBS buffer. The results show that the NPs-Ce4 nanoparticles can emit afterglow luminescence with a wavelength of about 680nm after the light excitation is stopped.
FIG. 7 is a graph showing the decay curve of afterglow luminescence recorded at 37 ℃ for NPs-Ce4 nanoparticles (30. mu.g/mL). The result shows that the NPs-Ce4 nano-particle can continuously emit light after the light excitation is stopped, and the half-life period of afterglow luminescence can reach 1.5 h.
FIG. 8(a) is a graph produced by NPs-Ce4 (2. mu.g/mL)1O2The amount of (D) was varied with the irradiation time of the halogen lamp, and the fluorescence was enhanced (F/F) by a singlet fluorescent probe SOSG (1. mu.M)0) Represents; (b) to use O2、N2Purging or adding 50% w/w NaN3Afterglow intensity of the former and latter NPs-Ce4 (30. mu.g/mL). The results showed that the afterglow luminescence of NPs-Ce4 is closely related to the generation of singlet oxygen and is induced by O-charging2Or N2Or add in1O2Scavenger NaN3All cause the change of afterglow luminance.
FIG. 9 is a study on the mechanism of Ce4 afterglow luminescence. The results of FIG. 9 show that the Ce4 afterglow luminescence process is accompanied by degradation and new substance generation, based on which we propose the afterglow luminescence mechanism of Ce4, that is, Ce4 transfers absorbed light energy to oxygen to generate oxygen1O2Subsequently, subsequently1O2The decomposition of the Ce 4-dioxetane intermediate ultimately leads to afterglow luminescence of chlorins by cycloaddition of an oxyethylene double bond (C ═ C) to form the Ce 4-dioxetane intermediate. Since the afterglow luminescence of Ce4 is highly similar to its corresponding fluorescence spectrum, it is presumed that the energy released by the spontaneous decomposition process of Ce 4-dioxetane promotes Ce4 to enter its excited state Ce4, and finally returns to its ground state by the afterglow luminescence, while Ce4-F is generated.
FIG. 10 shows the afterglow luminescence intensities of Ce4 in different solvent systems. The results in the figure show that the afterglow intensity of Ce4 is different depending on the solvent, because the non-radiative transition of singlet oxygen generated by Ce4 is affected due to the difference of the surrounding environment, resulting in different lifetimes of singlet oxygen molecules. Whereas the longer the lifetime of singlet oxygen, the higher the afterglow intensity. However, when Ce4 is used for a biomolecule probe, the above-mentioned organic solvent cannot be used, and only water is used as a solvent. However, Ce4 is difficult to disperse in water and does not exhibit afterglow luminescent properties in water. In the invention, the amphiphilic triblock copolymer encapsulates the Ce4 molecule, so that the dispersion of Ce4 in a water system is realized, and meanwhile, the introduction of the surface copolymer provides a special environment for singlet oxygen, thereby reducing the non-radiative transition of the singlet oxygen, prolonging the service life of the singlet oxygen, increasing the reaction probability of the singlet oxygen and Ce4, and enabling Ce4 to show afterglow luminescence property in the water system, thereby being used for molecular probes.
Example 2: afterglow imaging guided tumor resection
1. In order to show the advantages of near-infrared afterglow luminescence relative to the conventional fluorescence in the in vivo imaging application, afterglow and fluorescence images are obtained after injecting a pre-irradiated NPs-Ce4 nano particle solution into the subcutaneous tissues of living mice. The signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the different images was then quantified, the results being shown in fig. 11.
As can be seen from the figure, the signal-to-noise ratio of afterglow imaging is more than 26 times that of corresponding fluorescence imaging.
NPs-Ce4 was used to detect different sizes of 4T1 tumors in the mouse intraperitoneal cavity. After NPs-Ce4 was irradiated in advance, NPs-Ce4 was injected into the tail vein of mice, and the signals of the afterglow in the abdominal region were continuously monitored by afterglow imaging, the results of which are shown in FIG. 13. As can be seen from the figure, the intensity of the afterglow signal at the abdominal region of the mouse gradually increases with time.
Laparotomy was performed 2 hours after NPs-Ce4 injection, followed by afterglow imaging and ablation of 6 suspicious lesions under guidance of the afterglow signal. FIG. 14 is an image of the afterglow and the bright field after laparotomy of a tumor-bearing mouse, and FIG. 15 is an image of the bright field (upper) and the afterglow (lower) of a tumor resected under guidance of an afterglow signal, showing that all tissues resected with a suspicious lesion can still emit an afterglow signal after being reactivated with light.
The tumor sections were stained by hematoxylin and eosin (H & E) and the results are shown in fig. 16. As can be seen, the tissue excised under the guidance of the afterglow signal is tumor tissue, and the smallest tumor that can be identified is 3 cubic millimeters.
In conclusion, the invention provides a novel organic afterglow luminescent nano material, the main body of which is organic micromolecules, and compared with the existing semiconductor polymer system and multi-molecule doped system organic afterglow luminescent materials, the afterglow luminescent nano material has better biocompatibility and biodegradability; after the light excitation is stopped, afterglow luminescence with the wavelength of about 680nm can be emitted, and the band is near infrared wavelength, so that the tissue penetrability is better, and the imaging of deep tissues is easy to realize; and the luminescence half-life period of the afterglow luminescence nano material can reach 1.5 hours, so that long-time imaging of single excitation can be realized. The afterglow luminescent nano material is suitable for being used as a nano probe to be applied to biological imaging, and can realize the detection of tumors with the size of about 3 cubic millimeters at minimum.
