Description

Iron gadolinium nano-composite and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of nano materials, and particularly relates to an iron-gadolinium nano composite and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Gastric cancer is the fifth largest malignancy worldwide, and is also the cause of death associated with the third largest cancer worldwide, posing a serious threat to human health. Gastric cancer is the second and third malignancy in global morbidity and mortality, and about 72 tens of thousands die annually. Recent studies have shown that: laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery can be safely applied to the treatment of locally advanced gastric cancer, however, even though normal standard surgical treatment is performed, up to 20% of patients with advanced gastric cancer develop occult recurrence and metastasis of the abdominal cavity represented by peritoneal implantation. Because the gastric cancer peritoneal metastasis is scattered in multiple cases and the focus is hidden and not easy to find, the tracking and treatment of the gastric cancer peritoneal metastasis are extremely difficult in clinic, and the median survival time is less than 6 months. So how to complete, normalize and efficiently finish the identification of the hidden peritoneal metastasis focus of gastric cancer is a clinical problem to be solved urgently in gastric cancer surgery at present.
At present, computer Tomography (CT) is the most common traditional means for noninvasive diagnosis of peritoneal metastasis, but peritoneal metastasis nodules are soft tissues, small in number, low in volume and density, and limited in various aspects of detection instrument sensitivity, imaging depth, resolution and the like, and generally, the sensitivity of the current CT imaging technology for imaging a metastasis with the diameter of less than 5mm is only 11%, and up to 30% of patients with advanced gastric cancer with negative CT diagnosis peritoneal metastasis are confirmed to be positive in subsequent laparoscopy. In contrast, MRI is capable of detecting metastatic lesions smaller than 2mm, meaning that MRI has a potential advantage in showing microscopic peritoneal metastases, and MRI is likely to be a suitable choice for peritoneal metastasis imaging examination means. Currently, there are two main types of clinically applied MRI contrast agents, T1-weighted MRI contrast agents and T2-weighted MRI contrast agents, and T1 contrast agents have wider application range because they generate bright signals. The most widely used MRI contrast agent clinically is gadolinium chelate T1 contrast agent, but due to its certain nephrotoxicity, brain deposition, the united states Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned of its clinical use. Meanwhile, the longitudinal magnetic susceptibility (r 1 value) is low and is only about 4mM -1S-1, so that the MRI imaging effect is poor, and the application of MRI is greatly limited. In addition to pre-operative diagnosis, more than 30% of cases of peritoneal metastasis are found by laparoscopic intra-operative exploration, with a relatively accurate diagnosis of micrometastasis nodules that are difficult to diagnose imagewise, but intra-operative identification of metastatic lesions is highly dependent on the experience and subjective judgment of the operator. Near infrared fluorescence imaging technology based on indocyanine green (ICG) dye is widely applied to imaging of tumors at present, but ICG is taken as a small molecule to be easily dispersed in vivo, and the molecule lacks tumor targeting and can not finish focus specific imaging. Therefore, the research and development of an imaging contrast agent with high biological safety and good imaging efficiency capable of realizing the synchronization of preoperative MRI and intraoperative fluorescence is an effective scheme for improving the prior gastric cancer peritoneal metastasis diagnosis difficulty.
In recent years, more and more tumor specific targets are applied to targeting modification of molecular probes in order to increase aggregation of the probes at tumor sites through active targeting effect, wherein RGD polypeptide modification is an effective targeting strategy. Proved by researches, the RGD polypeptide sequence can be specifically combined with integrin alpha v beta 3 receptors which are highly expressed in various tumor cells and neovascular endothelial cells, and has wide application prospect in molecular drug delivery and tumor targeted therapy. In fact, in addition to tumor cells, some normal cells (e.g., vascular endothelial cells, etc.) also express integrin αvβ3 receptors, suggesting that some nanoparticles may also bind non-specifically to normal tissues, resulting in false positive events, reducing diagnostic accuracy.

Detailed Description
The conception and the technical effects produced by the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the embodiments below to fully understand the objects, features and effects of the present invention. It is apparent that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments, and that other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of the present invention based on the embodiments of the present invention.
Example 1
The embodiment prepares the iron gadolinium nano-composite, which comprises the following specific processes:
(1) First, 20mL of a polyacrylic acid (PAA, mw=1800) solution having a concentration of 4.0mg/mL was purged with nitrogen for 60min to remove oxygen from the solution, followed by heating the polymer solution to reflux to 100 ℃. Then, 0.8mL of the iron-containing precursor mixture (0.5M FeCl 3 and 0.25M FeSO 4) was rapidly injected into the heated polymer solution, followed by adding 6mL of ammonia (28 wt%) and magnetically stirring the mixture at 100 ℃ for 30min to obtain very small magnetic iron oxide nanoparticle (ES-MIONs) cores, then 0.4mLGd (NO 3)3 (0.0625M) and 3.0mL of ammonia (28 wt%) were added to the reaction system, and the reaction was continued for 90min under magnetic stirring at 100 ℃ to finally obtain iron gadolinium nanoparticle (FeGdNP) with MRI contrast function.
(2) Taking 5.0mL of the iron gadolinium nanoparticle solution (C Gd =1.5 mM) synthesized in the step (1), adding 500 mu L of the indocyanine green solution serving as a near infrared imaging agent with the concentration of 0.2mg/mL, magnetically stirring at room temperature for reaction for 4 hours, and storing the obtained nanoparticle (FeGdNP-ICG) loaded with the near infrared imaging agent in a refrigerator at the temperature of 4.0 ℃ for later use.
(3) Coupling a ligand RGD2 taking a cell surface molecule as a target molecule to the nanoparticle surface loaded with the near infrared imaging agent in (2) through reaction of-COOH and-NH 2 under the condition of EDC/NHS activating carboxyl and amino: mu.LEDC and 68. Mu.L NHS (10 mg/mL) were added to 5.6mL of near infrared imaging agent loaded nanoparticles with uninterrupted magnetic stirring, followed by 100. Mu.L (1.0 mg/mL) of RGD2 (Glu- { Cyclo [ Arg-Gly-Asp- (D-Phe) -Lys ] } 2) liquid. Then, after a magnetic stirring reaction at room temperature for 4 hours, the iron gadolinium nanoparticle (FeGdNP-ICG-RGD 2) liquid with the RGD2 coupled on the surface loaded with the near infrared imaging agent is obtained.
(4) Methoxypolyethylene glycol (mPEG, mw=5000) was dissolved in methylene chloride at a concentration of 50mg/mL, and to a 32mL mPEG solution (1.6 g,0.8 mmol), 4-formylbenzoic acid (FBA, 0.36g,2.4 mmol), dimethylformamide (DMF, 4 mL), dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC, 0.496g,2.4 mmol) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP, 146mg,1.2 mmol) were added. Stirred at room temperature for 24h, filtered three times and the precipitated product Dicyclohexylurea (DCU) was removed. The organic solvent methylene chloride in the filtrate was then evaporated with nitrogen bubbling, and then the nitrogen-bubbled product was dispersed in 10mL of ultrapure water. The resulting mPEG-FBA was collected by freeze-drying. The resulting mPEG-FBA white powder was dissolved in DMF and stored in a refrigerator at 4 ℃ for later use.
(5) 200 Mu L (4) of the mPEG-FBA (0.4 mg/mL dissolved in DMF) is added into 5.8mL (3) of iron gadolinium nanoparticle solution with RGD2 coupled on the surface loaded with near infrared imaging agent, the obtained product solution is dialyzed with pure water for 48 hours after magnetically stirring reaction at room temperature for 16 hours, the pure water is replaced every 6 hours so as to remove the organic solvent DMF in the liquid, and then the purified nano solution is collected to obtain the iron gadolinium nanocomposite FeGdNP-ICG-RGD2-mPEG.
Test example 1 Transmission Electron microscopy
The iron gadolinium nanocomposite FeGdNP-ICG-RGD2-mPEG solution prepared in example 1 and the iron gadolinium nanoparticle (FeGdNP) solution prepared in example 1 were respectively diluted and then respectively added dropwise onto an ultrathin carbon film, after the solution was naturally evaporated at normal temperature, the sample was sent for inspection, and the original particle size and shape of the nanoparticles were respectively observed by using TEM (transverse electric) as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B.
As can be seen from the transmission electron microscope results of FIGS. 1A and 1B, feGdNP and FeGdNP-ICG-RGD2-mPEG are spherical nanoparticles, according to TEM image analysis, the average particle sizes of FeGdNP and FeGdNP-ICG-RGD2-mPEG are 5.0nm and 10.0nm respectively, feGdNP and FeGdNP-ICG-RGD2-mPEG are successfully synthesized, and the smaller particles are more easy to enter the tumor part through blood circulation.
Test example 2 particle size and potentiometric analysis
A small amount of the iron gadolinium nanocomposite FeGdNP-ICG-RGD2-mPEG solution prepared in example 1 and the iron gadolinium nanoparticle (FeGdNP) solution prepared in example 1 were taken, respectively, and deionized water was used to prepare a solution of 1:500, and then detecting and analyzing the particle size and the potential condition respectively by using a Markov dynamic light scattering instrument, see fig. 2A and 2B.
As can be seen from the hydrated particle size analysis of FIG. 2A, the particle sizes of FeGdNP and FeGdNP-ICG-RGD2-mPEG are respectively 17.50+ -0.04 nm and 35.01+ -0.05 nm, the hydrated particle size ratio FeGdNP of FeGdNP-ICG-RGD2-mPEG is increased, and the success of the synthesis of the nanocomposite is laterally verified. From the zeta potential of FIG. 2B, it can be seen that the potentials of FeGdNP and FeGdNP-ICG-RGD2-mPEG are-26.76 mV and-15.50 mV, respectively, each negatively charged.
Test example 3 in vitro safety test of nanocomposites
The iron gadolinium nanocomposite FeGdNP-ICG-RGD2-mPEG solution prepared in example 1 and the iron gadolinium nanoparticle (FeGdNP) solution prepared in (1) in example 1 were dispersed in pure water solutions, respectively prepared into FeGdNP-ICG-RGD2-mPEG nanocomposite solutions and FeGdNP solutions with different concentrations (the concentration gradient is set based on the iron ion concentration, the concentrations of each group are respectively 0. Mu.M, 30. Mu.M, 60. Mu.M, 120. Mu.M, 240. Mu.M and 480. Mu.M), and after incubation with normal gastric mucosal cells for 24 hours, the old culture solution was discarded, a complete culture solution containing 10% CCK8 cytotoxicity detection reagent was added, incubation was performed for 4 hours at 37℃under 5% CO 2, and finally absorbance of each culture well at a wavelength of 450nm was detected by an enzyme-labeled instrument, and cell viability was calculated and analyzed as shown in FIG. 3.
From the analysis in fig. 3, feGdNP and FeGdNP-ICG-RGD2-mPEG were found to have cell survival rates of 90% or more after incubation with normal gastric mucosal cells for 24 hours, respectively, which indicates to some extent that both have no significant cytotoxicity to normal gastric mucosal cells, and have potential as good contrast agents.
Test example 4 iron gadolinium nanocomposite FeGdNP-ICG-RGD2-mPEG targeting validation
The iron gadolinium nanocomposite FeGdNP-ICG-RGD2-mPEG prepared in example 1 was selected as the experimental group, and coupled with the biofluorescence dye rhodamine (R6G) as a fluorescent tracer label. The three groups mainly comprise a pure culture medium group (Control), a pure iron gadolinium nanocomposite group (FeGdNP prepared in the example 1) (i.e. FeGdNP-ICG prepared in the example 1) (2), a near infrared imaging agent-loaded group (FeGdNP-ICG prepared in the example 1) (i.e. iron gadolinium nanoparticle FeGdNP-ICG-RGD2 prepared in the example 1 (3) and loaded with the near infrared imaging agent and with RGD2 on the surface, and a PBS-treated iron gadolinium nanocomposite group (FeGdNP-ICG-RGD 2-mPEG pH=6.5) with pH of 6.5) and a PBS-treated iron gadolinium nanocomposite group (FeGdNP-ICG-RGD 2-mPEG pH=7.4) with pH of 7.4. Gastric cancer cells were inoculated into 6-well plates and cultured in DMEM containing 10% fetal bovine serum at 37 ℃ in a 5% co 2 incubator for 24 hours until the cells were completely attached, and the above 6 groups were incubated with gastric cancer cells for 4 hours, respectively. The cells were collected for cell flow detection of fluorescence intensity at a specific wavelength, each group of nanoparticles was labeled with the biofluorescence dye rhodamine (R6G) in advance, the cells of each treatment group were fixed and stained after the same treatment time, and the red fluorescence intensity of the cells of each group at a wavelength of 538nm was observed under a confocal microscope and compared, and the results of the cell fluorescence detection experiment are shown in fig. 4.
As can be seen from FIG. 4, the red fluorescence intensity in the cells of the coupled active target molecule RGD2 treated groups (R6G-FeGdNP-ICG-RGD 2 and R6G-FeGdNP-ICG-RGD 2-mPEG) was significantly higher than that of the non-active target molecule treated groups (R6G-FeGdNP and R6G-FeGdNP-ICG), while the red fluorescence intensity of the nanocomposite treated groups after the acidic condition was significantly higher than that of the normal condition treated group, which was found in the PBS pretreated groups (R6G-FeGdNP-ICG-RGD 2-mPEG) with pH=6.5 and 7.4. In conclusion, the nanocomposite coupled with the active target molecules and the polymer protective outer layer can enter gastric cancer cells in a more targeted manner, and has potential application value in improving drug delivery and tumor imaging efficiency.
Test example 5 in vivo fluorescence imaging Effect of iron gadolinium nanocomposite FeGdNP-ICG-RGD2-mPEG
The experimental animal is prepared for peritoneal tumor bearing, and when the experimental animal peritoneal can touch tumor bodies after 14 days of tumor bearing, the tail vein is injected with the nano probe and the vital signs of the experimental animal are observed. After the probe is injected for 12 hours, euthanasia treatment is carried out on the experimental animal, the peritoneal structure of the experimental animal is fully exposed, the tissue fluorescence imaging effect of the peritoneal tumor body is observed under the irradiation of a near infrared fluorescence imager, and the FLI image acquisition is carried out by adopting a near infrared imaging system as shown in fig. 5.
As can be seen from the imaging fluorescence diagram of FIG. 5, after the near infrared fluorescent probe is injected, the abdominal epidermis of the experimental animal is removed, the peritoneal tissue structure is removed, and besides the fluorescent signal exists in a large piece of adhered tumor tissue, the fluorescence at the peritoneal metastasis site (the circle out site) which is about 3mm beside the tumor tissue is also obvious, so that the peritoneal metastasis site is obviously compared with surrounding normal peritoneal tissue; it is believed that the metastatic tumor tissue at the peritoneum of the mouse parietal layer can be excised precisely under the guidance of the near infrared fluorescence imaging system. In conclusion, the situation shows that the nano-composite has good detection sensitivity and accuracy for distinguishing peritoneal metastasis lesions.

And (3) setting iron gadolinium nano-composite FeGdNP-ICG-RGD2-mPEG solution with different concentration gradients and commercial contrast agent aqueous solution, scanning T1 images of the iron gadolinium nano-composite FeGdNP-ICG-RGD2-mPEG solution and commercial contrast agent aqueous solution under a 7.0T magnetic field, calculating and comparing the obtained data to obtain longitudinal relaxation rates of the iron gadolinium nano-composite FeGdNP-ICG-RGD2-mPEG solution and the commercial contrast agent aqueous solution, and predicting the magnetic resonance imaging effect of the iron gadolinium nano-composite. Comparison shows that FeGdNP-ICG-RGD2-mPEG prepared in example 1 has the property that signal intensity increases with increasing concentration. The correlation graphs with 1/T1 for each of the iron gadolinium nanocomposite FeGdNP-ICG-RGD2-mPEG and commercial contrast are shown in FIG. 6 by different concentrations.
The T1 relaxation rates of the two can be obtained through calculation, the r1 value of the commercial contrast agent is found to be 4.21mM -1S-1, the r1 value of the nano imaging probe can reach 13.17mM -1S-1, and the r1 value of the nano imaging probe can reach more than 3 times of the common commercial contrast agent, compared with the conventional commercial contrast agent, the nano imaging probe can ensure better magnetic resonance imaging efficiency under the condition of reducing the concentration of metal gadolinium ions in the contrast agent, and the prepared novel nano imaging probe has good water dispersibility, has higher r1 value than the conventional commercial contrast agent, and can be used for high-contrast tumor T1 weighted magnetic resonance imaging.
Test example 7 comparison of in vivo tumor imaging Effect of iron gadolinium nanocomposite FeGdNP-ICG-RGD2-mPEG with commercial contrast Magnevist
After the experimental animal peritoneal model was successfully constructed, iron gadolinium nanocomposite FeGdNP-ICG-RGD2-mPEG and a commercial aqueous solution of a contrast agent with the same gadolinium ion concentration were set, and in-vivo magnetic resonance images of the iron gadolinium nanocomposite and the commercial aqueous solution were scanned under a 3.0T magnetic field after 12h of tail vein injection, and the result is shown in FIG. 7.
Comparing magnetic resonance signals of the commercial contrast agent and the nano probe in the peritoneal tumor focus, the iron gadolinium nano compound FeGdNP-ICG-RGD2-mPEG treatment group is found to be obviously enhanced in the MRI signal of the tumor area compared with the commercial contrast agent group (the magnetic resonance signal intensity of the synthesized nano imaging probe is brighter in comparison with the magnetic resonance signal intensity of the lower right corner circled part in the figure), which indicates that the iron gadolinium nano compound prepared in the embodiment 1 can realize the contrast enhancement effect of the tumor area. And at the time point of 12 hours, the iron-gadolinium nano-composite can still well gather at the tumor part, so that the iron-gadolinium nano-composite has good magnetic resonance imaging efficiency and simultaneously has the properties of slow release, long accumulation and long-lasting imaging, and is expected to become a good magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent.
