Description

Engineering exosome for tumor radiotherapy sensitization, preparation method and application
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biology, in particular to an engineering exosome for tumor radiotherapy sensitization, a preparation method and application.
Background
MSCs are a type of multipotent progenitor cells with self-renewing, multipotent differentiation capability, obtainable from mature tissues, and the major sources include umbilical cord, bone marrow, fat, etc., and because of their self-renewing, multipotent and immunomodulatory properties, MSCs have become a major research focus in the medical field. The mechanism of action of MSCs in vivo is complex, and more researches show that the paracrine mechanism is a main form of MSCs functioning, while the exosomes are main paracrine substances, and the exosomes are expected to be applied to clinical treatment as a cell-free pharmaceutical preparation in the future due to lower toxicity, immunogenicity and adverse reactions.
Exosomes (Exosomes, exo) are nanoscale vesicle-like structures with diameters between 30-150nm, with phospholipid bilayer membranes. The inclusion of large amounts of biologically active substances, such as proteins, mRNA, microRNA, polypeptides, lipids, etc., within the membrane is an important vehicle for intercellular communication and information transfer. Although siRNA is a promising gene targeting drug, siRNA itself has poor stability, and the biggest problem in clinical practice of nucleic acid drugs at present is the lack of better and more targeted in vivo delivery systems. The exosomes serving as transport carriers not only have the advantages of high stability and high selectivity, but also have better affinity with nucleic acid molecules, and can remarkably improve the encapsulation and delivery efficiency. In addition, in the latest research results, exosomes can also act through the blood brain barrier, so that the exosomes have wide application prospects. Improving the targeting property of the medicine is beneficial to improving the curative effect of the medicine, and reasonably modifying the exosomes of the MSCs can lead the exosomes to effectively target into tumor sites, thereby playing a stronger anticancer role.
Signal transduction and transcription activator 3 (signal transducers and activators of transcription, STAT 3) is an important member of the signal transduction and transcription activator family. STAT3 is highly expressed in various tumor tissues and cell lines and is closely related to proliferation differentiation and apoptosis of tumors. If one could try to block expression of STAT3 gene in cancer cells, one would have to greatly attenuate cancer cell proliferation capacity while attenuating apoptosis inhibition. Thus, targeting certain molecules in the blocking signal pathway may be a completely new independently effective approach to tumor therapy
Through the above analysis, the problems and defects existing in the prior art are as follows:
The exosomes in the prior art are not further improved, so that the targeting effect of tumor cells is poor. Moreover, the prior art can not provide theoretical basis for potential drugs for exosomes to inhibit the growth of tumors and sensitize radiotherapy.
