Description

Application of immune energized MSC-EVS in preparation of medicament for treating retina diseases
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biological medicine, and particularly relates to application of immune energized MSC-EVS in preparation of a medicament for treating retina diseases.
Background
Retinal diseases are refractory blinding eye diseases which seriously damage the visual function of human beings, become increasingly prominent main blinding eye diseases in China, and comprise age-related macular degeneration (AMD), retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), stargardt diseases and the like, and an effective treatment method is not yet clinically available. Dysfunction and loss of retinal pigment epithelial cells (RPE) are common pathological features common to such diseases. In the past, the RPE cells are considered to participate in the pathophysiological process of retina through the actions of nutrition, barrier, phagocytosis and the like, but in the disease process, the RPE cells are aged, and can express immune related receptors such as TLRs, fc-gamma and the like, mediate local immune response and influence cell survival and repair. The search for controlling the aging of RPE cells and promoting the repair of the RPE cells is an important research direction for treating retinal diseases.
The immunomodulatory capacity of mesenchymal stem cells is not constitutive, but is conferred and determined by the type and intensity of inflammation. Under the action of pro-inflammatory factors, the immune regulatory function of mesenchymal stem cells may be enhanced, a process called immune-energization (Primed MSCs). Studies have reported that pretreatment of MSC with IFN-Y and TNF-A may promote MSC immunosuppression viSub>A the JAK1/JAK 2-dependent pathway. Han et al found that IL-17 enhances the immunosuppressive function of MSCs by down regulating AUF1 expression in mesenchymal stem cells, thereby increasing the stability of various immune molecules IL-2, GM-CSF, TNF α, iNOS, and IL-6 mRNA. In addition, IL-1β -energized mesenchymal stem cell Exosomes can inhibit sw982 cell IL-1β and TNF- α mediated inflammatory responses in osteoarthritis.
Interleukin-21, 23, 27 (IL-21, IL-23, IL-27) and TNF- α are a class of pro-inflammatory cytokines that are normally tightly regulated and expressed at low levels, except during infection, trauma or other stress, but are elevated as the immune system ages. These cytokines activate intracellular Stat3 signaling pathway activation, exacerbating the local inflammatory response. However, there is no report on how the extracellular vesicles of mesenchymal stem cells after the immune energization of interleukin-21, 23, 27 (IL-21, IL-23, IL-27) or TNF-alpha can inhibit the immune regulation of retinal cells, whether the retinopathy can be inhibited.

EXAMPLE 1 construction of disease model
Sodium iodate (NaIO) 3 ) Is a stable oxidant, and can increase the conversion of glycine in melanocyte into glyoxylic acid with cytotoxicity compound by means of specific chemical reaction with melanin, thus NaIO 3 RPE cells are selectively damaged. NaIO (NaIO) 3 Induced retinochoroidal lesions exhibit a course of disease and pathological changes similar to those of non-exudative age-related macular lesions (AMD), a classical drug-induced animal model for modeling non-exudative AMD. In non-exudative AMD patients, RPE dysfunction leads to death of the outer nuclear layer photoreceptor cells; similarly, naIO 3 Selective action on RPE cells causes their death, with secondary damage to photoreceptors. Thus the invention adopts NaIO 3 And constructing a related disease model. The method comprises the following specific steps:
(1) Human umbilical cord MSCs or murine bone marrow MSCs are cultured in vitro DMEM/F12+10% FBS+1% P/S medium, after the cell fusion degree is 70-80%, the medium is replaced by DMEM/F12+10% exosome-free FBS+1% P/S, 20ng/mL recombinant human IL-23 cytokine (Preprotective), 25ng/mL recombinant murine IL-21 cytokine (R & D Systems), 10ng/mL recombinant human IL-27 cytokine (Preprotective), or 10ng/mL recombinant human TNF-alpha cytokine (R & D Systems) is added, after 24 hours, the supernatant is collected, the enriched extracellular vesicles are separated and concentrated on the centrifugal tube wall by a differential centrifugation method, and the concentration of 1 mu g/mu L is prepared by using physiological saline, so that an immune-energized MSC-EVS solution is obtained for standby.
(2) C57BL/6J mice (purchased from Jiangsu Jiugang Biotech Co., ltd.) at 8-12 weeks were randomly divided into four groups, which were designated as groups 1-4, 10 each.
(3) Group 1 (blank) was injected with physiological saline at the tail vein, while 1 μl of physiological saline was injected into the vitreous cavity; group 2 (model group) NaIO in tail vein 3 1 mu L of physiological saline is injected into the vitreous cavity; group 3 (treatment group) NaIO was injected into the tail vein 3 1. Mu.L of the immunopotentiated MSC-EVS solution (IL-21 or IL-23 or IL-27 or TNF-. Alpha.) prepared in step (1) was injected into the vitreous cavity. Group 4 (treatment group) NaIO was injected into the tail vein 3 The vitreous cavity was injected with 1. Mu.L of non-immunopotentiated MSC-EVS solution. Tail vein injection of 20mg/kg 0.02% NaIO in group 2-4 3 (injection volume about 0.1-0.2mL, based on mouse body weight), group 1 tail vein was injected with an equal volume of saline.
(4) The same day of tail vein molding is given once to the vitreous cavity for drug injection, and the materials are taken on the 7 th day after molding, so that the treatment effect is evaluated.
Example 2 Electroretinogram (ERG) evaluation of retinal function in mice following immune-energized MSC-EVS treatment
The whole experiment process is carried out under the condition of weak red light illumination. The method comprises the following specific steps:
(1) In example 1NaIO 3 Electroretinogram (ERG) measurements were performed on each of the above groups of mice on day 7 of molding using a electroretinogram (Celeris-Diagnosys system). Mice were dark adapted for 12 hours prior to examination. 4.3% chloral hydrate (10 mL/kg) was injected intraperitoneally for anesthesia, and the compound topiramate eye drops mydriasis.
(2) Mice were fixed on a laboratory plate and electrodes were mounted. A few methylcellulose is dripped on the cornea, a recording electrode (a ring cornea electrode made of 0.2mm copper wire) is clung to the corner consolidated edge, a reference electrode (a needle electrode) is placed under the skin of the same side cheek of the mouse, and a grounding electrode is placed under the skin of the tail of the mouse.
(3) The relevant examination starts after a dark adaptation again of about 5 minutes. Dark adaptation ERG (Scotopic ERG) detection and recording was performed using an international clinical visual electrophysiology standardization protocol. Separately record0.03cd.s·m -2 ,0.1cd.s·m -2 ,0,3cd.s·m -2 ,1.0cd.s·m -2 ,3.0cd.s·m -2 And 10.0 cd.s.m -2 The ERG waveform of the mice under illumination intensity was measured for a standard flash stimulus of 30Hz at the time of strobe response, and the first three response waves were discarded. The application software analyzes and counts the waveforms.
The detection results are shown in FIGS. 1-2. Wherein FIG. 1 shows the change of a wave under different light intensity stimuli; fig. 2 shows a change in b wave. In the figure, the normal saline group is blank group 1, naIO 3 The +normal saline group is the intervention model control group of the mice with retinal degeneration, naIO 3 The + (IL-21/IL-23/IL-27/TNF-alpha) primed-MSC-EVs group is the immune energized MSC-EVS intravitreal administration treatment group of mice with retinal degeneration, naIO 3 The +MSC-EVs group is the traditional MSC-EVs administration treatment group.
The result shows that after dark adaptation for 12 hours, under different illumination intensities, the a-wave and b-wave amplitudes of ERG are counted, and NaIO can be observed 3 The amplitude of the a wave and the b wave of the +normal saline mice is obviously reduced compared with that of the normal saline control group; after IL-21, IL-23, IL-27 or TNF-alpha immune energized MSC-EVs intravitreal injection treatment, a wave and a b wave of ERG are found to be one compared with NaIO under dark adaptation and two different stimulus intensities 3 The statistically significant waveform amplitude increases in the +saline group or the conventional MSC-EVs group, and there is no statistical difference between the four treatment groups, IL-21 or IL-23 or IL-27 or TNF-alpha, suggesting that the immune-energized MSC-EVs are more effective than the conventional MSC-EVs. The immune-energized MSC-EVs of the four factors can improve the retinal nerve function by intravitreal injection, and other functional experiments are carried out by taking the immune-energized MSC-EVs of IL-23 as a representative.
Example 3OMR (Optomotor Response) assessment of mice vision following immune-energized MSC-EVS treatment
(1) In example 1NaIO 3 On day 7 of molding, fundus imaging examinations were performed on each group of mice using a Optokinetic response detection system. The mice remained awake.
(2) After dark adaptation, mice were tested freely on a platform in the center of a box consisting of four identical sized LED screens showing a rotating vertical black and white stripe. The stimulus light source was a sinusoidal grating with a stimulus rotated at 12 degrees/second, and ten spatial frequencies, including 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.35, 0.4, 0.45, 0.5, and 0.6 were tested in steps.
(3) The movements of the mice were recorded using an infrared camera placed over the chamber to calculate the number of head tracking movements during each spatial frequency.
The detection results are shown in FIG. 3. The results showed that NaIO 3 The visual acuity of the sick mice was significantly reduced, indicating that the more severe the retinopathy, the immune-energized (IL-23) mice had a lower treatment group (primed-MSC-EVs) for MSC-EVs than saline-interfered NaIO 3 Vision of the sick mice is obviously improved, and compared with the traditional MSC-EVs treatment group (NaIO) 3 +msc-EVs) vision is better, indicating a reduction in the degree of retinopathy, p < 0.01, p < 0.001.
Example 4 evaluation of retinal thickness in immunocompetent MSC-EVS treated mice by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
(1) In example 1NaIO 3 On day 7 of molding, OCT measurements were performed on each group of mice using an electroretinogram (SPECTRALIS-OCT, heidelberg, germany). 4.3% chloral hydrate (10 ml/kg) is injected into abdominal cavity before examination for anesthesia, and the compound topiramate eye drops mydriasis;
(2) After anesthesia, the mouse head is fixed on the proper position of the OCT jaw frame, and the bulbar conjunctiva is clamped by forceps to rotate the eyeball position, so that the OCT detection light source is aligned to the laser spot area. The laser spot is scanned by a three-dimensional scanning method set in a computer, and a point 3mm away from the disk nipple is used as a circle center, and 1.5mm is used as a radius for scanning. The scan range covers the four directions of the retina, lateral, longitudinal, nasal, temporal, to calculate the average thickness of the retina.
The detection results are shown in FIGS. 4-5. Wherein FIG. 4 is a photograph showing the Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) of mouse eyes after MSC-EVS treatment with immune-energized (IL-23), and the dotted line shows the Outer Nuclear Layer (ONL) where photoreceptor cells are located, naIO 3 After molding, photoreceptors were lost and ONL was thickThe ONL thickness is increased after the vitreous cavity is injected with the immune-energized MSC-EVS treatment, and the ONL thickness is obviously increased after the immune-energized MSC-EVS treatment is applied to the whole body. Fig. 5 is a statistical plot of retinal thickness, showing that the structure of the diseased retina is significantly recovered after MSC-EVS treatment by intravitreal injection of immune-energized (IL-23), p < 0.01.
EXAMPLE 5 Paraffin section H & E staining to observe changes in retinal structure in immunocompetent MSC-EVS treated mice

(2) Dehydrating in gradient ethanol for 12 hours; soaking in xylene for 2 hours, and soaking in paraffin at 65 ℃ for 3-4 hours to carry out permeabilization and paraffin soaking.
(3) The tissue is packed by an automatic embedding machine, and a slicing machine is used for taking 3-4 mu m slices and attaching the slices to a glass slide.
(4) Xylene dewaxing was used, and 100%, 95%, 75% gradient alcohol washing was performed to hydration.
(5) Staining was performed by hematoxylin dip for 10-15 minutes, and washing with running water.
(6) Differentiation is carried out for 1-2 seconds by using 1% hydrochloric acid alcohol, and saturated ammonia water is blued for a plurality of seconds, and the mixture is washed for 15-30 minutes by running water.

The detection results are shown in FIG. 6. The results showed that NaIO 3 Fold appears in the retinal ONL layer structure of sick mice, the subretinal RPE pigment arrangement is disordered, the aggregate accumulation is obviously increased, and the therapeutic group of MSC-EVS (NaIO) of vitreous cavity injection immune energized (IL-23) 3 +primed-MSC-EVs) compared to NaIO 3 The ONL layer fold of the +normal saline pathological group is reduced, and the RPE pigment lump is obviously reduced; more traditional MSC-EVs treatment group (NaIO) 3 +MSC-EVs) ONL layer cell density was higher.
Example 6 immunofluorescence staining for detection of the status of RPE tight junctions and STAT3 expression
The RPE-sclera complex is spread and subjected to immunofluorescence staining, and the specific steps are as follows:
(1) In example 1NaIO 3 On the 7 th day of molding, each group of mice was sacrificed for cervical dislocation to obtain eyeballs.
(2) The eyeball was fixed in 4% PFA in an amount of 20 times or more by volume for 60min.
(3) The eyeball is fixed by toothed forceps under an dissecting microscope, the optic nerve is firstly removed, connective tissue and muscle of the bulbar wall are removed, the cornea is sheared off, and tissues such as iris, crystal, retina and the like are removed, so that the complete RPE-sclera complex is obtained.
(4) The RPE-scleral complex was blocked at room temperature for 1 hour or overnight at 4℃with 0.5% Triton X-100/PBS+5% BSA.
(5) Freshly prepared immunofluorescent primary antibody (ZO-1, p-STAT 3): 5% BSA at 1: 100-scale dilution, RPE-scleral complex was placed in antibody, incubated overnight at 4 ℃, during which the EP tube was gently shaken every few hours to fully contact the antibody.
(6) Taking out the RPE-sclera complex, incubating the secondary antibody, and keeping out of light at room temperature for 1-2 hours; PBST was washed 6 times for 10 minutes each.

The detection results are shown in FIG. 7. The results showed that NaIO 3 After dry prognosis, p-STAT3 is mainly found in NaIO 3 RPE cell surface expression increased after intervention, whereas p-STAT3 expression decreased after intravitreal intervention with primed MSC-EVs. The RPE cells of the normal mice are in a honeycomb hexagonal structure to form a complete tight connection barrier, and NaIO 3 The tight junctions of RPE cells of the lesion group are destroyed, and the tight junctions are restored after the treatment of the primed MSC-EVs (IL-23), which indicates that the primed MSC-EVs can act on the RPE cells through the p-STAT3 and promote the restoration of the barrier function thereof.

The results show that, in NaIO 3 In the model group of intervention, the expression of senescence-associated genes is increased, and NaIO in the model group is obtained after the treatment of the MSC-EVS with immune-energized (IL-23) 3 The expression of inflammatory factors is reduced, which shows that the immune energized MSC-EVS can effectively improve the aging state of the retinal pigment epithelium and promote the functional recovery of retina.
From the above, experiments such as ERG, OCT, H and E prove that the immune energized MSC-EVS can obviously reduce RPE cell damage of mice with retinal degeneration, protect visual function, delay retinal thinning and achieve better intravitreal injection effect than systemic administration. Immunofluorescence staining proves that the immune energized MSC-EVS can act on the p-STAT3 transcription factor of the retinal pigment epithelial cells, regulate and control the tight connection of the RPE cells of the mice in the retinal degeneration model to obtain recovery. The immune-energized MSC-EVS dry prognosis can reduce the expression level of the RPE scleral complex senescence-associated factors, thereby improving the senescence stress state of the retinal pigment epithelium and delaying the progression of retinal photoreceptor cell death. The invention provides experimental basis and theoretical basis for the immune-energized MSC-EVS to treat retina diseases and the potential clinical application of the immune-energized MSC-EVS as an immune regulator, and the immune-energized MSC-EVS has wide application prospect in preparing a pharmaceutical preparation for treating retina degenerative diseases.
