Description

Preparation and application of nanoparticle for resisting tumor metastasis
Technical Field
The invention relates to preparation of active targeting ligand modified nano particles for regulating platelet and tumor cell functions and application thereof in treating tumor metastasis. In particular to a P-selectin targeting ligand modified nanoparticle for entrapping a platelet inhibitor and a COX-2 inhibitor and application thereof, belonging to the technical field of medicines.
Background
Cancer is a major disease threatening human health. Tumor metastasis is the leading cause of high mortality in cancer, with 90% of tumor patients dying from metastasis. Conventional treatments such as radiation and chemotherapy can remove localized cancer cells, but it is difficult to achieve the desired metastasis inhibiting effect. Surgical resection is an effective clinical strategy for treating solid tumors, and although surgery can ablate more than 90% of tumors, residual micro-tumors that are difficult to eliminate intraoperatively are prone to tumor recurrence. In addition, residual micro-tumors invade surrounding tissues, leading to distant metastasis of tumor cells. Therefore, metastasis inhibition is a critical and challenging task in cancer treatment.
Studies have shown that a suitable microenvironment is critical for the transplantation and growth of tumor cells. Primary tumors induce the establishment of a pre-transfer microenvironment (PMN) at secondary organ and tissue sites, facilitating the spread and survival of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) prior to reaching these sites. The pre-transfer microenvironment is called as "soil" of metastasis, is composed of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs), endothelial cells, activated platelets, intercellular adhesion molecules (ICAMs) and the like, has the characteristics of immunosuppression, inflammation, angiogenesis and the like, and is favorable for tumor cell colonization. Each stage of metastasis requires a tight interaction between the tumor cells and the immune cells, stroma, inflammation, etc. components of the tumor microenvironment. Therefore, designing a combined administration strategy to regulate the transfer process from different mechanisms will help to achieve better transfer therapeutic effect.
Platelets play an important role in tumor metastasis. At the tumor site, tumor cells express Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP) to activate platelets, activate platelets to secrete transforming growth factor beta (TGF- β), vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) and Platelet Derived Growth Factor (PDGF), promote epithelial-mesenchymal transition of cancer cells and induce angiogenesis; during the transfer process, platelets form aggregates with tumor cells entering the blood circulation, helping CTCs to undergo shear stress and avoid immune cell clearance, promoting their invasion into surrounding tissues; at the secondary site of metastasis, activated platelets secrete pro-inflammatory factors CXCL5 and CXCL7, which aid granulocyte recruitment to create a pre-metastatic microenvironment. The role of platelets in cancer-related inflammation and thrombosis suggests that platelets are potential therapeutic targets. P-selectin is an adhesion molecule stored in platelet alpha-particles. When platelets are activated, P-selectin rapidly migrates from the alpha-particles to the platelet surface and plays an important role in cancer metastasis by interacting with P-selectin glycoprotein ligands that are overexpressed on cancer cells. The P-selectin targeting ligand can specifically bind to P-selectin to bind to activated platelets, and has excellent targeting ability to primary tumors and metastatic sites.
Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is overexpressed in various malignant tumors, playing an important role in tumor growth and metastasis. COX-2 expression is increased under inflammatory stimulus conditions, inducing vascular permeability of primary breast tumors and distant organs, and extravasating CTC. In addition, COX-2 at the tumor site promotes angiogenesis by catalyzing prostaglandin production, up-regulating Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) expression, induces invasion and increases metastasis. Specific inhibitors of COX-2 such as celecoxib, nimesulide, meloxicam and rofecoxib can produce a strong inhibition effect on tumor angiogenesis by inhibiting the activity of COX-2, down regulate the expression of Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMP) and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), weaken the migration, invasion and adhesion ability of cancer cells, and effectively inhibit tumor metastasis. Celecoxib is used for research on anti-tumor drug delivery systems at present, but an anti-tumor metastasis drug delivery system prepared by combining COX-2 inhibitor and platelet inhibitor and loading nanoparticles is not reported yet.

Example 2: preparation and characterization of ligand modified drug-loaded nanoparticles
The ligand modified drug-loaded nanoparticle is prepared by adopting a nano precipitation method. Specifically, DSPE-PEG is used 2000 PSN, polylactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer (PLGA) and phospholipid are dissolved in DMSO according to a certain mass ratio (10:4:2) to be used as oil phases, and ticagrelor (100%, w/w) or celecoxib (12) with a certain PLGA mass fraction is respectively addedAnd (3) in percent, w/w), uniformly mixing, and slowly dropwise adding the mixture into deionized water under stirring at 1000rpm to prepare ligand-modified supported ticagrelor nanoparticles (PSN-supported ticagrelor nanoparticles) and ligand-modified supported celecoxib nanoparticles (PSN-supported celecoxib nanoparticles). The prepared nanoparticles were concentrated with an ultrafiltration tube (10 kDa) and washed twice with low temperature deionized water to remove the organic solvent, followed by dispersing the nanoparticles in PBS (ph=7.4). The particle size distribution and zeta potential of freshly prepared nanoparticles were measured by Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) using a malvern laser particle sizer.
As shown in FIGS. 2B-C, the particle diameters of the two ligand-modified drug-loaded nanoparticles are about 85nm, the electric potential is about-20 mV, and PDI is less than 0.3, which indicates that the nanoparticle distribution is uniform.
Example 3: stability test of ligand-modified drug-loaded nanoparticles
1mL of the ligand-modified drug-loaded nanoparticle prepared in example 2 was dispersed in phosphate buffer (PBS, pH=7.4) or PBS containing 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). The particle size change was determined by dynamic light scattering at predetermined time points (0,2,4,8,12 and 24 h) by incubation in a shaker at 37℃for 24h at 75 rpm.
As shown in fig. 2D, the particle size distribution of the nanoparticle after 24h incubation in PBS or 10% fbs did not significantly change, indicating that the ligand-modified drug-loaded nanoparticle has better in vitro stability and serum stability.
Example 4: in vitro Transwell cell migration and invasion assay
In the cell migration test, 4T1 cells in the logarithmic phase were taken, the cells were digested, washed 2 times with serum-free medium and resuspended, counted, and the cell suspension concentration was adjusted to 8X 10 5 cell/ml. Adding 700 μl of 1640 culture medium containing 10% serum into the bottom of a 24-well plate, adding 100 μl of cell suspension into the upper chamber, culturing for 4 hr, adding different drugs (containing no drug culture medium, platelet, platelet+ticagrelor+celecoxib, platelet+PSN-ticagrelor nanoparticle, platelet+PSN-celecoxib nanoparticle+PSN-celecoxib nanoparticle, and platelet+PSN-ticagrelor nanoparticle+PSN-celecoxib nanoparticle)Nanoparticles) were incubated for 24h. Wherein the PSN-ticagrelor nanoparticle and the PSN-celecoxib nanoparticle are from example 2. The liquid in the upper chamber of the Transwell cell was aspirated, the lower chamber was fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde at room temperature and stained with 0.1% crystal violet stain for 10min, the upper non-migrated cells were wiped off with a cotton swab, washed 3-4 times with PBS, and cells migrated to the lower chamber were observed under a microscope. Finally, the purple crystals were dissolved using a 33% acetic acid solution and absorbance was measured at 570nm on a microplate reader. Mobility was calculated as follows: cell mobility (%) = absorbance of experimental group/absorbance of control group x 100%. In the cell invasion assay, 3mg/ml matrigel was previously spread on the upper chamber of a Transwell cell having a pore size of 8. Mu.m, and left at 37℃for 2 hours to solidify the matrigel into a gel. The remaining steps were the same as in the cell migration test.
The results are shown in fig. 3, where the mobility of 4T1 cells is significantly increased after incubation with platelets, indicating that platelet stimulation can promote tumor cell migration. PNS-celecoxib nanoparticles or PSN-ticagrelor nanoparticles can inhibit the increase of cell migration caused by platelets to a certain extent. Further, after the two nano-particles are combined, the mobility and invasion rate of the 4T1 cells are reduced to the minimum, and the optimal anti-tumor cell migration and invasion capacity is shown.
Example 5: influence of ligand-modified drug-loaded nanoparticles on platelet function
To study the effect of ticagrelor on platelet function blockade, platelet aggregation function was first evaluated. After incubating platelets labeled with the fluorescent dye DiI with PBS, free ticagrelor, and ligand-modified drug-loaded nanoparticles, thrombin was added to induce platelet aggregation. The light transmittance of the treated platelet suspension was measured at 650nm using the PBS-treated platelet aggregation rate as a positive control to quantitatively evaluate platelet aggregation. Wherein the ligand-modified drug-loaded nanoparticle is from example 2.
Results as shown in fig. 4A, platelets treated with PBS and PSN-celecoxib nanoparticles aggregated into large particles, while platelets treated with ticagrelor or PSN-ticagrelor nanoparticles retained their original size. From fig. 4B, it can be seen that the aggregation rate of platelets in the PSN-celecoxib nanoparticle treated group was close to that in the control group. In contrast, PSN-ticagrelor nanoparticles can significantly inhibit platelet aggregation, and the platelet aggregation rate is reduced to 18.97%.
The effect of the nanoparticles on the platelet clotting function was further investigated by clot retraction assay.
As shown in fig. 4C-E, PSN-ticagrelor nanoparticles significantly inhibited the contraction of blood clots, resulting in an increase in the weight of blood clots and a decrease in serum release, suggesting that platelet coagulation function was inhibited.
The above results indicate that PSN-ticagrelor nanoparticles can block platelet functions, including platelet aggregation and platelet coagulation.
Example 6: ligand modified drug-loaded nanoparticle induced tumor cell apoptosis
Inoculating 4T1 cells into a 12-well plate, culturing for 24 hours in a cell culture box, sucking liquid in the well plate, adding 1mL of a drug-containing culture medium for continuous culture for 24 hours, digesting and collecting the cells with pancreatin, washing the cells twice with PBS, operating according to the instruction of an Annexin V-FITC/APC double-staining kit, and detecting by using a flow cytometer after staining. Wherein the PSN-ticagrelor nanoparticle and the PSN-celecoxib nanoparticle are from example 2.
As shown in fig. 5A-B, celecoxib can obviously induce apoptosis of 4T1 tumor cells, and the PSN-celecoxib nanoparticles have stronger apoptosis induction capacity than free celecoxib.
The ability of the nanoparticles to inhibit tumor metastasis related proteins was further examined by Western-blot immunoblotting. 4T1 cells were inoculated into 6-well plates, cultured in a cell culture tank for 12 hours, the culture solution was aspirated off, and 2mL of the medicated medium was added for further culture for 24 hours. The medium was discarded, washed 2 times with PBS and the cells lysed using a complete lysate ice bath. Centrifuging to obtain supernatant, adding SDS loading buffer solution, and boiling for 10min to obtain loading sample. The samples were subjected to protein separation by SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis, transferred to membrane, blocked with 5% milk powder, incubated overnight with primary antibody, washed with TBS/T and incubated with secondary antibody for 2h. The procedure was performed with reference to the chemiluminescent kit instructions and imaging was performed using a gel imager. Wherein the PSN-ticagrelor nanoparticle and the PSN-celecoxib nanoparticle are from example 2.
As shown in FIG. 5B, PSN-celecoxib nanoparticles can obviously reduce the expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), metal matrix protease-2 (MMP-2) and metal matrix protease-9 (MMP-9) in 4T1 tumor cells.
Example 7: in vitro and in vivo assay quantitative analysis of ligand-modified drug-loaded nanoparticles to inhibit platelet-tumor cell adhesion: platelets were obtained from BALB/c mice by extraction, washed with PBS and labeled with 5. Mu.M calcein AM. 4T1 cells were seeded in 96-well plates (black, transparent at the bottom) and after growing to about 80% confluence, fluorescent-labeled platelets were added to each well after 1h of pretreatment of the cells with different drugs, incubation was continued for 45min at 37 ℃, and the fluorescent signal was detected for each well using an enzyme-labeled instrument at ex=490 nm and em=515 nm. The cells were washed 3 times with PBS to remove non-adherent platelets, 100uL of serum-free medium was added, and the remaining fluorescence intensity per well was determined, leaving the wells free of tumor cells as blanks. Platelet adhesion rate was calculated as: (residual fluorescence-blank)/(total fluorescence-blank) ×100%. Wherein the PSN-ticagrelor nanoparticle and the PSN-celecoxib nanoparticle are from example 2.
Qualitative analysis: 4T1 cells in the logarithmic growth phase are inoculated on 18mm borosilicate cover slips and incubated for 24 hours to enable the cells to adhere to the wall and grow adaptively. After washing the medium with PBS, 300. Mu.L of CMFDA staining solution at a concentration of 5. Mu.M was added to each well, and incubated at 37℃for 30min in the absence of light to prepare 4T1-CFSE cells. 1mL of the liquid medicine was added to each well and incubated at 37℃for 1 hour, respectively, to control the culture medium without the medicine. Wherein the PSN-ticagrelor nanoparticle and the PSN-celecoxib nanoparticle are from example 2. Freshly extracted platelets were stained with DiI dye for 30min and collected by centrifugation. To each well 1mL of fluorescence labelled platelet suspension (containing 2X 10) 6 Platelets) and incubated at 37 ℃ for 45min to allow for adequate adhesion to tumor cells. Washed three times with PBS and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde. DAPI stained nuclei for 5min, washed five times with PBS, and confocal photographed.
As shown in fig. 6A-B, the blank group had 75.53% of platelets adhered to 4T1 tumor cells, and the PSN-ticagrelor nanoparticle + PSN-celecoxib nanoparticle group had the best inhibitory effect on platelet adhesion to 4T1 cells, significantly lower than the PSN-ticagrelor nanoparticle alone or the PSN-celecoxib nanoparticle treated group.
Platelet-tumor cell adhesion in vivo was further studied. Platelets were extracted, washed and stained with DiI to prepare red fluorescent-labeled platelets. The 4T1 tumor cells in the logarithmic growth phase were also digested and incubated with CMFDA to prepare green fluorescent-labeled 4T1 cells. BALB/c small tail vein injection of drug from the tail vein, respectively, and 4T1 cell suspension (5×10) was injected into each mouse after 1h 5 cell/alone) followed immediately by injection of platelets via the contralateral tail vein (1X 10) 9 In mice, mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation after 24h, and lung tissues were obtained. Cutting a small amount of lung tissue, embedding with tissue embedding agent on an objective table, quick-freezing at-25deg.C for 15min, cutting into frozen slices with thickness of 10 μm on a manual frozen slicer, washing with PBS for 2 times to remove water-soluble embedding agent, sucking water with filter paper, and dripping a small amount of anti-fluorescence quenching agent on the slices. The sections were observed under a confocal microscope and photographed.
As a result, as shown in FIG. 6C, platelets in the lung tissue sections of the control mice were in an aggregated state, and red fluorescence was mostly aggregated around the green fluorescence of tumor cells. And the combined use of the PSN-ticagrelor nanoparticles and the PSN-celecoxib nanoparticles can well inhibit the adhesion of platelets to tumor cells.
In summary, the combined administration of PSN-ticagrelor nanoparticles and PSN-celecoxib nanoparticles can effectively inhibit platelet adhesion induced by tumor cells by simultaneously inhibiting platelets and tumor cells.
Example 8: investigation of in vitro binding and activation platelet ability of ligand-modified nanoparticles
Platelets were extracted, washed and labeled with DiI as described above. Platelets were activated by incubation with ADP (20. Mu.M) for 30min at 37 ℃. The activated platelets were then incubated with coumarin 6-labeled PSN modified or unmodified nanoparticles for 30 minutes at 37 ℃ and then centrifuged at 3500rpm for 10 minutes to remove unbound nanoparticles. Finally, the platelet pellet was washed and resuspended in PBS (ph=7.4) and fluorescent images were captured under CLSM.
As shown in FIG. 7, the PSN modified nanoparticles have significantly higher fluorescence intensity than unmodified nanoparticles, and the green fluorescence of the nanoparticles is co-localized with the red fluorescence of activated platelets, indicating that the ligand-modified nanoparticles provided by the invention can effectively bind activated platelets.
Example 9: in-vivo distribution investigation of ligand modified nanoparticles in 4T1-Luc metastasis and 4T1 breast cancer in-situ tumor model mice
BALB/c mice metastasis model was established by intravenous injection of 4T1-Luc cells, and tumor metastasis progression was monitored by bioluminescence imaging. Mice successfully modeled for lung metastasis were selected, randomly divided into 3 groups (3 per group), and free DiR and DiR-labeled PSN modified or unmodified nanoparticles (DiR equivalent 1 mg/kg) were injected by tail vein. Mice were sacrificed 24h after injection, tissues and organs were rapidly removed, fluorescence signals were photographed ex vivo, and the fluorescence signals of the tissues were semi-quantitatively analyzed using ROI tools. The results are shown in FIGS. 8A-B.
The fluorescence imaging and semi-quantitative results of 24h isolated organ tissue show that the DiR-labeled PSN modified nanoparticles in the isolated lung showed the highest accumulation, 2.13 times and 3.21 times the fluorescence intensity of the unmodified nanoparticles and free DiR, respectively.
Further establishes a primary 4T1 breast cancer animal model to investigate the targeting of the ligand-modified nanoparticles to the primary tumor. By inoculating 3X 10 to the right side of female BALB/c mice with a third pair of breast pads 5 The 4T1 cells establish a 4T1 mouse orthotopic tumor model. At 14 days after tumor inoculation, 9 tumor-bearing mice with similar tumor sizes were randomly divided into 3 groups of 3 mice each. Each group was injected with free DiR and DiR-labeled PSN modified or unmodified nanoparticles (DiR equivalent 1 mg/kg) from the tail vein, respectively. Mice were sacrificed 24h after dosing, tumor tissue and lung tissue were dissected, fluorescent signals were taken ex vivo, and fluorescent signals of the tissue were semi-quantitatively analyzed using ROI tools.
As shown in fig. 8C-D, PSN modified nanoparticles have stronger fluorescent signals in tumor tissue, 1.59 and 9.60 times that of unmodified nanoparticles and free DiR, respectively, indicating that ligand modification can enhance the targeting of nanoparticles to in situ tumors. In addition, the accumulation of the ligand modified nanoparticle in the lung before the metastasis of the primary tumor model mouse is improved by 2.2 times compared with that of the unmodified nanoparticle.
The above results demonstrate that the ligand-modified nanoparticles provided by the present invention can effectively enhance accumulation at the primary tumor site and the metastatic site, as compared to the free drug.

PSN-ticagrelor nanoparticle combination PSN-celecoxib nanoparticle group: on day 0,3,5,7,9,11, physiological saline containing PSN-ticagrelor nanoparticles and PSN-celecoxib nanoparticles (containing ticagrelor Lei Dangliang 10mg/kg, celecoxib equivalent 2 mg/kg) was injected intravenously through the tail of the mice, respectively;
wherein the PSN-ticagrelor nanoparticles and PSN-celecoxib nanoparticles are from example 2.
As shown in fig. 9, the bioluminescence intensity, lung weight index (lung weight/body weight x 100%) results and metastasis nodule count results of the in vitro lung of the 20 th day mice all showed that the combination of PSN-ticagrelor nanoparticles and PSN-celecoxib nanoparticles had the best effect of resisting metastasis of circulating tumor cells.
Example 11: investigation of the ability of ligand-modified drug-loaded nanoparticles to inhibit the formation of the pre-transfer microenvironment the influence of leakage of the co-suspension nanoparticles from Evan Blue (EB) on the lung vascular permeability of the pre-transfer microenvironment was carried out. BALB/c mice carrying 4T1 in situ breast cancer were randomly grouped, 4 per group (grouping method same as example 10). The drug solution was injected by tail vein (once every 3 days, 3 total) on day 5 after tumor inoculation. Wherein the PSN-ticagrelor nanoparticle and the PSN-celecoxib nanoparticle are from example 2.2 days after the last treatment, mice were injected intravenously with 100. Mu.L (20 mg/kg) of EB solution. 2. After hours, mice were sacrificed and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was extracted. Lung tissue was harvested, weighed and immersed in formamide to extract EB (2 mL formamide was added per 100 mg wet lung weight). After 48h incubation at 37℃the supernatant was centrifuged at 5000rpm for 20min and the fluorescence intensity of the supernatant was measured using an enzyme-labeled instrument (Ex: 620nm, em:683 nm). The EB content (mass of EB per gram of lung, μg/g) in the lung tissue was then calculated. The total protein content in BALF was determined by BCA kit.
As shown in fig. 10, the primary tumor significantly induced vascular permeability of the lung, resulting in increased EB leakage and total protein content in BALF, compared to healthy mice. And the combination of the PSN-ticagrelor nanoparticles and the PSN-celecoxib nanoparticles has the optimal effect of reversing the high vascular permeability of the microenvironment before pulmonary transfer.
Example 12: therapeutic effects of ligand-modified drug-loaded nanoparticles on primary breast cancer metastasis by inoculating 3×10 to the right third pair of breast pads of female BALB/c mice 5 The 4T1 cells establish a 4T1 mouse orthotopic tumor model. To the length of tumor to 50mm 3 At time (day 0), mice were randomized and 5 animals per group were dosed. The animals were grouped and dosed as in example 10. Mice were sacrificed on day 24, the number of tumor nodules on the lungs of mice was used as an indicator to examine the anti-metastatic capacity in vivo in each group, and the lung tissues of mice were collected for H&E, pathological analysis. Wherein the PSN-ticagrelor nanoparticle and the PSN-celecoxib nanoparticle are from example 2.
As shown in fig. 11, the tumor growth curve and the tumor weight result show that the combination of the PSN-celecoxib nanoparticles and the PSN-ticagrelor nanoparticles can inhibit the growth of in-situ tumors, and tumor slices show that the tumor tissues undergo apoptosis. From the results of the metastasis nodule counts and H & E stained sections, PSN-celecoxib nanoparticle + PSN-ticagrelor nanoparticle treated mouse lung tissue had little metastasis. In addition, the ligand-modified drug-loaded nanoparticle has good biocompatibility (fig. 12).
Example 13: the treatment effect of the ligand-modified drug-loaded nanoparticle on breast cancer postoperative metastasis is further examined, and a 4T1 mouse in-situ breast cancer model is established. Tumor-bearing BALB/c mice were operated to ablate more than 90% of tumors and 4T1 cells were injected via tail vein to mimic circulating tumor cells that invaded blood vessels during the procedure. The animals were grouped and dosed as in example 10. Wherein the PSN-ticagrelor nanoparticle and the PSN-celecoxib nanoparticle are from example 2.
As shown in fig. 13, the combined use of free celecoxib and ticagrelor has a certain effect of inhibiting postoperative tumor recurrence, and the volume and weight of the tumor recurrence 30 days after tumor resection are obviously lower than those of a normal saline group. In addition, the combination of PSN-celecoxib nanoparticles with PSN-ticagrelor nanoparticles has an optimal resistance to postoperative tumor recurrence and metastasis compared to free drug.
