Description

Drug-loaded polymer vesicle and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of polymer nano-drugs, and particularly relates to a drug-loaded polymer vesicle and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Oncogene Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK 1) is critical for division and proliferation of tumor cells, over-expression exists in leukemia and other various types of tumors, and the expression level is closely related to prognosis defects, so that development of PLK1 molecular targeted drugs is greatly promoted. Of these, volasertib (Vol) is the most advanced PLK1 inhibitor in current clinical research, qualifying as a breakthrough therapy granted by the FDA in 2013 for the treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) patients. However, it has the problems of high in vivo clearance rate, less tumor enrichment, large administration dosage, serious dose-limiting toxicity, easy drug resistance and the like, and has limited clinical efficacy when used alone, and usually needs to be combined with chemotherapy drugs.
Vincristine sulfate (VCR) is a powerful chemotherapeutic agent for inhibiting tubulin polymerization, and is widely used for treating malignant blood tumors such as leukemia, but has low available dosage due to serious neurotoxicity. CN111973556B as the applicant's prior application, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated into the present application as the prior art, discloses a reversible cross-linked degradable polymer vesicle loaded with vincristine sulfate, which is obtained by assembling and cross-linking amphiphilic block polymers, and has an asymmetric membrane structure, wherein the outer shell is polyethylene glycol (PEG), the membrane layer is reversible cross-linked hydrophobic polycarbonate, and the inner shell is polypeptide KD z Efficient loading of VCRs can be achieved for efficient and specific targeted delivery of vincristine sulfate to multiple myeloma cells. CN110229323a as the applicant's prior application patent, its disclosureThe entire contents of which are incorporated into the present application as prior art.
In contrast to single drug therapy, a dual drug and multi-drug combination regimen may be achieved by acting on the same signaling pathway or multiple related pathways. However, the current multi-drug combination scheme still faces some challenges, on one hand, multi-drug combination is usually accompanied by higher toxic and side effects, and on the other hand, different properties of drugs can have great differences in pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, cell penetration capacity and the like, and are difficult to deliver to a target site in an optimal ratio, resulting in poor synergistic effects. The anti-tumor effect of different drug combinations was unexpected, maria Sol Brassesco et al found that the combination of PLK1 inhibitor and doxorubicin had antagonistic effect (Cancer Biology&Therapeutic 14:7, 648-657, july 2013); marta Halasa et al found that CDDP, CAM did not work synergistically with MCF7, 47D, MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-468, IC 50 Higher than single drug (int.j.mol.sci.2021, 22, 8573); according to the studies carried out, the polymer-supported CFZ/MID has little synergy in toxicity to Molm-13-Luc, for additive and even antagonistic effects. Therefore, how to achieve efficient and stable entrapment of multiple drugs with different properties in the same nanocarrier and deliver them to the target in a fixed ratio to exert synergistic effects is also very challenging.

The mass feed ratios of VCR to Vol were 1:8, 1:16 and 1:32, respectively, with the theoretical Drug Loading (DLC) of Vol constant 16.7 wt%, and the preparation schematic is shown in FIG. 2.
Taking 1:16 as an example, 1.75 mL of Vol in DMSO (20 mg/mL) was combined with 4.3 mL of PEG-P (TMC-DTC) -KD 10 Is uniformly mixed with DMSO solution (40 mg/mL); 0.44 mL of VCR in water (5 mg/mL) was added to 38 mL of HEPES solution (5 mM, pH 6.8), mixed well at 37℃and 300 rpm, then polymer and Vol in DMSO solution were injected into the mixture at a constant speed, stirred for 15 min, transferred to a 37℃shaker, and incubated for 12 h at rest. Then, the resultant was dialyzed (MWCO: 3500 Da) against HEPES (5 mM, pH 7.4) to obtain Ps-VCR/Vol, and concentrated by centrifugal ultrafiltration (vivaspin, MWCO:10 kDa) to give a co-drug-loaded vesicle concentration of 9 mg/mL.

Example stability of three Ps-VCR/Vol and in vitro drug Release
To study the stability of Ps-VCR/Vol, ps-VCR/Vol was used 1/24 For example, the particle size, particle size distribution variation, and VCR and Vol leakage during storage at 4 ℃ were continuously monitored. At days 30, 60, 90 and 300, the particle size and particle size distribution were tested. At 220 and 300 days, 2 mg Ps-VCR/Vol was taken, respectively 1/24 Ultracentrifugation (58000 rpm,1 h) was performed with HEPES diluted to 1 mg/mL, the centrifuged supernatant was taken, and the concentration of Vol and VCR was tested by HPLC and the content of leaked drug was calculated. Drug retention (%) was calculated by comparing the drug content with that at day 0. FIGS. 4A and 4B are Ps-VCR/Vol, respectively 1/24 Particle size, particle size distribution and drug retention profile. The results show that Ps-VCR/Vol 1/24 The particle size and the polydispersity index (PDI) have no obvious change within 300 days when the composition is placed at the temperature of 4 ℃, and the medicine retention amount is higher than 95%. In addition, monitoring by DLSMeasurement of Ps-VCR/Vol 1/24 Particle size distribution after 50-fold dilution with PBS and 10% FBS addition, as shown in FIG. 5A, ps-VCR/Vol maintains good stability when diluted 50-fold or 10% FBS is added.
In Ps-VCR/Vol 1/12 For example, the release of Ps-VCR/Vol was studied by dialysis. Will 0.5 mL Ps-VCR/Vol 1/12 (2 mg/mL) was placed in a drug delivery bag (MWCO: 14000 Da), placed in 20 mL HEPES (5 mM, pH 7.4) or HEPES containing 10 mM GSH, and run in a shaker at 200 rpm at 37 ℃ (n=3). After 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 24 h, 5 mL release liquid was removed and 5 mL fresh release medium was replenished, respectively. After the release liquid is freeze-dried, 300 [ mu ] L of mixed liquid (volume ratio is 1:1) of methanol and secondary water is added for dissolution, and HPLC test is carried out after the release liquid is filtered by a 0.22 [ mu ] m filter head. The mobile phase of VCR is methanol: water (0.15% triethylamine) =70: 30, the detection wavelength is 298 nm; the mobile phase of Vol is acetonitrile: water (0.15% triethylamine) =60: 40, the pH was adjusted to 7.0 with phosphoric acid, and the detection wavelength was 330 nm. FIG. 5B shows Ps-VCR/Vol 1/12 In vitro release results for the dual vesicle nanoparticulate formulation are shown. The results show that the release amount of the Ps-VCR/Vol is less than 20% of the release amount of the VCR and the Vol in 24 h under physiological conditions, however, the release amount of the VCR and the Vol reaches more than 90% in the presence of 10 mM GSH, and the release kinetics of the VCR and the Vol are similar, so that the VCR and the Vol can be released according to the set proportion.
Example four Ps-VCR/Vol in vitro synergistic anti-AML experiments
The synergistic antitumor activity of Ps-VCR/Vol in MV-4-11, molm-13-Luc and WEHI-3 AML cells at different drug ratios was determined using the CCK-8 kit. MV-4-11 and Molm-13-Luc cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% FBS,1% penicillin and streptomycin, and WEHI-3 cells were cultured in DMEM medium (containing 20% FBS,1% penicillin and streptomycin). The 3 cells were plated in 96-well plates (2X 10) 4 Each hole) and 20 mu L of Ps-VCR, ps-Vol and Ps-VCR/Vol with different concentrations are respectively added into each hole 1/12 、Ps-VCR/Vol 1/24 、Ps-VCR/Vol 1/48 And free VCR/Vol 1/24 48 and h were incubated in an incubator. Wherein the in-well concentration of the Ps-VCR group VCR is 0.007-6.8 ng/mL, for the Ps-Vol and dual drug combination, the concentration of Vol in wells was 0.1-500 ng/mL when incubated with Molm-13-Luc and WEHI-3 cells, and 0.1-100 ng/mL when incubated with MV-4-11 cells. After 48 h incubation, 10 μl CCK-8 solution was added to each well, and after 3 h incubation was continued, the absorbance at 450 nm (n=6) was measured with a microplate reader, and the cell viability was the ratio of the absorbance of the cells of the sample group to the absorbance of the cells of the PBS group. The synergy of VCR and Vol is evaluated by calculating a synergy index (Combination Index, CI). Namely:
A synergistic effect when CI <1, in particular a strong synergistic effect when CI <0.5, in particular a very strong synergistic effect when CI < 0.3; additive effect when ci=1; antagonism is shown when CI > 1. The evaluation results were as follows:
the research shows that both Ps-VCR and Ps-Vol can effectively inhibit proliferation of AML cells, and IC in three kinds of AML cells 50 1.3-1.7 ng/mL and 8-21.4 ng/mL, respectively (FIG. 6 and Table 2). The Ps-VCR/Vol dual vesicle nano-formulations exhibit significantly enhanced anti-AML activity at VCR to Vol mass ratios of 1:12, 1:24, and 1:48 compared to Ps-VCR and Ps-Vol single vesicles. In MV-4-11 cells, three VCR and Vol IC 50 Values of 0.032-0.095 ng/mL and 1.3-1.5 ng/mL, respectively, were only 1/13 and 1/5 of Ps-VCR and Ps-Vol, and the synergy index (CI) was as low as 0.20-0.25 (FIG. 6A, D and Table 2), indicating potent synergy anti-AML activity when the VCR and Vol were co-loaded, and a wide range of adjustable drug ratios.
IC of Ps-VCR/Vol in Molm-13-Luc cells and WEHI-3 cells in different VCR and Vol ratios 50 The CI values were also significantly reduced compared to Ps-VCR and Ps-Vol, 0.36-0.41 and 0.18-0.23, respectively (FIG. 6B, C, E, F and Table 2). While free VCR/Vol 1/24 Is weak against AML, its VCR and Vol IC 50 The values are Ps-VCR/Vol, respectively 1/24 3.7-6.9 and 3.0-5.8 times, which shows that the synergistic effect of the vesicle nano-preparation which carries VCR and Vol together is obviously better than that of the free medicine combination.
Referring to the above method, the anti-AML activity of PS-DNR/Vol in WEHI-3 cells is shown in FIG. 7 and Table 3, wherein the drug ratio is the actual ratio, and the CI value of DNR and Vol is 1.1-2.4 when the DNR and Vol are co-carried, and the antagonism is shown when the DNR and Vol are co-carried.
Example five Ps-VCR/Vol synergistically blocks cell cycle and induces apoptosis
The period blocking of AML cells by Ps-VCR/Vol was studied by PI/RNase A staining. 1.8 mL MV-4-11, molm-13-Luc and WEHI-3 cells were plated into 6-well plates (5X 10) 5 0.2 mL PBS, ps-VCR, ps-Vol, ps-VCR/Vol were added to each well) 1/12 、Ps-VCR/Vol 1/24 、Ps-VCR/Vol 1/48 And free VCR/Vol 1/24 . Wherein the concentration of VCR in the wells of the Ps-VCR was 0.4. 0.4 ng/mL and the concentration of Vol in the other groups was fixed at 10. 10 ng/mL. After incubation of 24 h in an incubator, cells were collected by centrifugation and resuspended in 1 mL ice PBS, and slowly added to 4 mL 95% ethanol in vortexing, and fixed at 4 ℃ for 24 h. Then, cells were washed with PBS and resuspended in 0.4 mL staining buffer, 15 μl PI and 4 μl RNase a (2.5 mg/mL) were added to each sample group and directly tested with a flow cytometer after staining for 30 min at 37 ℃. The results show that Ps-VCR/Vol with different VCR and Vol mass ratios can efficiently induce the G2/M phase retardation of MV-4-11 cells at a Vol concentration of 10 ng/mL, the G2/M phase cell ratio is significantly increased from 18.9% to 56.2% in the PBS group (fig. 8A, D), and the vesicle single agent preparation is similar to that in the PBS group (22%). In addition, the free VCR/Vol group induced only 30.8% G2/M phase block, significantly lower than the Ps-VCR/Vol group. Similarly, in Molm-13-Luc cells, three different ratios of Ps-VCR/Vol induced 60-70% of G2/M phase arrest, significantly higher than the free VCR/Vol group (20.6%), however, the Ps-Vol (Vol: 10 ng/mL) vesicle single drug formulation failed Causing cell cycle arrest, the G2/M phase ratio was comparable to that of the PBS group (6%), and the Ps-VCR (VCR: 0.4 ng/mL) increased the G2/M phase arrest by only 16.9%. (FIG. 8B, E). In WEHI-3 cells, the G2/M phase ratio was also significantly higher in the three different proportions of the Ps-VCR/Vol group than in the other control group (FIG. 8C, F).
Both VCR and Vol are capable of inducing cell cycle arrest, thereby causing apoptosis. For this reason, the case of inducing apoptosis of AML cells by Ps-VCR/Vol was further studied using an Annexin V-APC/7-AAD double-dye apoptosis kit. 1.8 mL MV-4-11, molm-13-Luc, WEHI-3 and primary cells extracted from AML patient bone marrow were plated into 6 well plates (5X 10) 5 0.2 mL PBS, ps-VCR, ps-Vol, ps-VCR/Vol were added to each well) 1/12 、Ps-VCR/Vol 1/24 、Ps-VCR/Vol 1/48 And free VCR/Vol 1/24 . The concentration of Ps-VCR in VCR wells was 0.4 ng/mL in the three cell lines, the concentration of Vol in the other group was constant at 10 ng/mL, and the concentrations of VCR and Vol in the primary cells of the patient were 0.2 and 4.8 μg/mL, respectively. After 48. 48 h incubation in an incubator, cells were collected by centrifugation, resuspended in 0.5 mL of 1 Xbinding buffer, 5. Mu.L of Annexin V-APC and 10. Mu.L of 7-AAD were added to each well, and after 5 min of staining at room temperature, tested by flow cytometry. At least 10000 cells were collected per sample. The results show that in MV-4-11 cells, the Ps-VCR/Vol with three different drug ratios can cause significant apoptosis, the apoptosis rate is higher than 90%, wherein the Ps-VCR/Vol 1/24 The highest group, up to 99.7%, is significantly higher than Ps-VCR (49.2%), ps-Vol (36%) and free VCR/Vol 1/24 Group (62.6%) (fig. 9A). In Molm-13-Luc cells, ps-VCR/Vol 1/12 、Ps-VCR/Vol 1/24 And Ps-VCR/Vol 1/48 Results in apoptosis of about 75%, compared with single vesicle formulations of Ps-VCR (34.3%) and Ps-Vol (32.5%) and free VCR/Vol 1/24 (39.7%) was significantly improved (fig. 9B). After incubation of WEHI-3 cells with different Ps-VCR/Vol for 48 h, about 70% of the cells were apoptotic, with Ps-VCR (32.6%), ps-Vol (26.9%) and free VCR/Vol 1/24 (36.3%) was 2.1-2.7 fold higher than the above (FIG. 9C). Furthermore, ps-VCR/Vol 1/24 Also for primary patient specimen cellsHas remarkable pro-apoptotic ability, and is superior to other control groups (Ps-VCR, ps-Vol and free VCR/Vol) in 8 patient samples 1/24 ) All showed the strongest antitumor ability (fig. 9D). Therefore, the Ps-VCR/Vol can efficiently induce the AML cells to be blocked in the G2/M phase under the conditions of three drug ratios (1:12, 1:24 and 1:48), so that the apoptosis is promoted, and the effects are obviously better than that of single-drug preparations of Ps-VCR and Ps-Vol vesicles and free VCR/Vol, and the effects have obvious synergistic effects.
EXAMPLE six Western blotting (Western blot) study of inhibition of Ps-VCR/Vol on AML cellular protein expression
To investigate the synergistic anti-AML mechanism of VCR and Vol, immunoblotting was used to characterize the expression of the relevant proteins. 1.8 mL of Molm-13-Luc and MV-4-11 cell suspension (1X 10) 6 Individual/well) was plated into 12-well plates, and 0.2 mL PBS, ps-VCR, ps-Vol, ps-VCR/Vol was added 1/24 Or free VCR/Vol 1/24 The concentration in the wells of VCR and Vol were made 0.2 ng/mL and 4.8 ng/mL, respectively. After incubation in incubator 48 h, washing with ice PBS and adding 100 μl of ice RIPA lysate to lyse on ice for 20 min, then centrifuging (4 ℃ at 12000 rpm) for 15 min to remove the precipitate, and testing the total protein concentration with BCA. 20% of sample buffer solution with volume fraction is added into the protein, and the mixture is boiled for 5 min in a water bath with the temperature of 95 ℃. 20. Mu.g of protein was separated by electrophoresis using 10% SDS-PAGE and transferred to PVDF membrane, blocked with TBST containing 5% skimmed milk at room temperature for 2 h, and MCL-1 antibody, BCL-2 antibody, pHH3 antibody and. Beta.3-tubulin antibody were added separately by cutting a band of appropriate molecular weight and incubated overnight at 4 ℃. The strips were washed 3 times with Tris-HCl buffer/0.1% Tween-20 wash (TBST) and incubated with HRP-labeled secondary antibody at room temperature for 1.5. 1.5 h. After the strip has been treated with the developer, an image is taken with an electrochemiluminescence detection system (Pierce). FIG. 10 is a graph of immunoblotting results. The results show that Ps-VCR/Vol 1/24 The treatment can obviously down regulate two anti-apoptosis proteins of MCL-1 and BCL-2, simultaneously up regulate the expression of the effect Caspase-3 protein, activate the pro-apoptosis pathway, and the effect is obviously better than that of a vesicle single drug preparation and free VCR/Vol 1/24 Control group. Taken together, it is known that Ps-VCR/Vol blocks cells in G2/M phase by synergy,down-regulating anti-apoptosis proteins BCL-2 and MCL-1, regulating balance between BCL-2 family pro-apoptosis and anti-apoptosis proteins, activating Caspase dependent effector pathways, and initiating mitochondrial apoptosis to exert synergistic anti-AML activity.
Example seven in vivo acute toxicity test of Ps-VCR/Vol
In vivo acute toxicity of Ps-VCR/Vol was studied using Kunming mice (Vetolihua, 6 weeks old, male and female halves). The mice were randomly divided into 3 groups of 10 mice each, each half of which was injected with Ps-VCR/Vol through the tail vein in a single injection 1/12 (1 mg VCR&12 mg Vol equiv./kg)、Ps-VCR/Vol 1/24 (1 mg VCR&24 mg Vol equiv./kg)、Ps-VCR/Vol 1/48 (0.5 mg VCR&24 mg Vol equiv./kg). Mice were monitored for body weight, status and survival continuously for 14 days after dosing. On day 5 post-dose, 4 mice (2 females and 2 males) were randomized for each group and tested for blood normative and biochemical by abdominal aortic blood sampling. 4 healthy mice without drug administration were used as controls. The results showed that Ps-VCR/Vol 1/48 Group mice did not lose weight and remained continuously growing at VCR and Vol doses of 0.5 and 24 mg/kg, respectively, and were not abnormal in posture and behavior. Ps-VCR/Vol 1/12 (1 mg VCR&12 The body weight of the group of mg Vol equiv./kg mice decreased slightly within 2 days after the administration<5%) followed by a rapid return to normal without significant toxicity and death. For Ps-VCR/Vol 1/24 (1 mg VCR&24 mg Vol equiv./kg) mice had a decrease in body weight (8%) within 3 days after dosing, and one of the mice (1/10) had retarded activity, but recovered rapidly from day 4, without any death due to toxicity (fig. 11A, B). In addition, the blood routine and blood biochemical index of each group of mice are in the normal range, and there is no obvious difference compared with healthy mice (fig. 11C), indicating that Ps-VCR/Vol of three different drug ratios have higher safety even at high doses and are obviously better than free drugs.
Examples eight Ps-VCR/Vol in vivo synergistic anti-AML activity
The in vivo synergistic anti-AML activity of Ps-VCR/Vol was studied using three AML mouse models, molm-13-Luc, MV-4-11 and WEHI-3 in situ.
To build the in situ Molm-13-Luc model, 200. Mu.L of a Molm-13-Luc cell suspension (5X 10 5 And then injected into NOD.CB17-Prkdc scid /IL2rg tm1 Bcgen (B-NDG) female mice were vaccinated on day 0. On day 3 post-inoculation, in situ Molm-13-Luc AML mouse models were randomized into 7 groups, each by tail vein injection with PBS, ps-VCR (0.25 mg VCR equiv./kg), ps-Vol (6 mg Vol equiv./kg), ps-VCR/Vol, respectively 1/12 (0.25 mg VCR&3 mg Vol equiv./kg)、Ps-VCR/Vol 1/24 (0.25 mg VCR&6 mg Vol equiv./kg)、Ps-VCR/Vol 1/48 (0.125 mg VCR&6 mg Vol equiv./kg) and free VCR/Vol 1/24 (0.25 mg VCR&6 mg Vol/kg) was injected 4 times per 3 days (FIG. 12A). Wherein each group of 13 mice, 6 mice were used for weight and life cycle monitoring, 4 mice were used for imaging monitoring tumor growth, and 3 mice were used for assays such as tumor infiltration and micro-CT. The PBS group mice were found to develop rapidly, developed symptoms of hind limb paralysis, poor spirit, etc. at about day 15 post-inoculation, and caused death (fig. 12B-E). The proliferation of Molm-13-Luc cells in mice can be effectively inhibited by Ps-VCR/Vol with three different drug ratios, no tumor-related bioluminescence signal was observed within 20 days (at day 32) after the end of administration, wherein the proliferation of Molm-13-Luc cells was inhibited by Ps-VCR/Vol 1/24 At the end of imaging on day 44 no significant signal was seen, luc signal intensity was comparable to healthy mice (fig. 12B-D). However, the Ps-Vol and Ps-VCR vesicle single agent groups proliferated rapidly in vivo AML cells after the end of administration, and tumor Luc bioluminescence signal at day 22 increased 235 and 5.6 fold over that at day 7, respectively. Free VCR/Vol 1/24 Although the group inhibited proliferation of Molm-13-Luc cells in the early stage, recurrence occurred at day 32, tumor Luc signal increased rapidly, and at day 38 compared with Ps-VCR/Vol 1/24 Group mice were 114-fold higher (/ x:)p<0.001). Accordingly, free VCR/Vol 1/24 Group mice died all within 46 days with a Median Survival (MST) of 44 days, and Ps-VCR/Vol 1/24 Group mice were all cured and no morbidity occurred during the 180 day observation periodSymptoms and death were prolonged by more than 6.7 times compared to the Ps-VCR (MST: 27 days) and Ps-Vol (MST: 24 days) vesicle single drug formulation group, by more than 11 times compared to the PBS group (MST: 16 days) (fig. 12E). Furthermore, ps-VCR/Vol 1/12 And Ps-VCR/Vo 1/48 At lower Vol and VCR doses, survival of mice was also significantly prolonged, with MST 55 and 52 days respectively, 3.2 fold more than PBS group. Free VCR/Vol during treatment 1/24 Group mice reduced in weight by 8%, showed slight toxicity, and other groups had no obvious abnormalities in weight (fig. 12F). The results comprehensively show that the Ps-VCR/Vol has better safety and excellent synergistic anti-tumor activity in an in-situ Molm-13-Luc AML model, wherein the Ps-VCR/Vol 1/24 Has the strongest anti-AML activity and realizes complete cure.
At day 43 post inoculation, ps-VCR/Vol was sacrificed 1/12 、Ps-VCR/Vol 1/24 、Ps-VCR/Vol 1/48 Treatment groups were used to examine 3 mice infiltrated, and liver, spleen, lung, bone Marrow (BM) and Peripheral Blood (PB) were collected to test tumor cell infiltration (n=3) therein. Collecting heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, etc. main organs and rear leg bones, fixing with 4% paraformaldehyde, embedding in paraffin, and treating with H &E and TRAP staining for histological and osteoclast analysis. On day 15 post-inoculation, PBS group mice were sacrificed as controls. The Ps-VCR and Ps-Vol groups were analyzed by collecting major organs/tissues at the end of the experiment in the sacrificial mice. Consistent with imaging results, ps-VCR/Vol 1/24 Leukemia cells infiltration was not seen in each organ of group mice, and spleen weights were similar to healthy mice (fig. 13), further indicating that they effectively cleared leukemia cells in mice. Ps-VCR/Vol 1/12 And Ps-VCR/Vol 1/48 Although the leukemia cell infiltration rate of each organ of mice in the group was significantly lower than that of PBS group, there was significant leukemia cell infiltration, wherein Ps-VCR/Vol 1/12 The infiltration rates in the liver, spleen, lung and bone marrow were 47%, 9%, 22.8% and 17%, respectively, in group mice (fig. 13A, B). In addition, spleen weights of two groups of mice compare to Ps-VCR/Vol 1/24 There was also a significant increase in the group and healthy mice (fig. 13C).
H&E-stained picture display, PBS groupThe liver, spleen, kidney and lung of mice are almost completely invaded by AML cells, while the AML cells in the liver, spleen, kidney and lung of mice in the groups of Ps-VCR and Ps-Vol are somewhat reduced compared with the PBS group, a large number of AML cells are also present in the liver, normal cells in the spleen and lung are almost completely replaced by AML cells, and a small part of tumor infiltration is also present in the kidney, so that organ injury is serious. Ps-VCR/Vol 1/12 And Ps-VCR/Vol 1/48 The infiltration of leukemia cells in the liver and spleen is obviously inhibited after treatment, and a small amount of leukemia cells still exist in the liver and spleen of mice, while Ps-VCR/Vol 1/24 No significant leukemic cells were found in the group organs. No toxicity-related lesions were seen in the major organs of each group (FIG. 14). Leukemia cells in the leg bones of mice in PBS, ps-Vol and Ps-VCR groups filled the entire bone marrow cavity, almost completely replaced normal bone marrow cells, and had a large number of hematopoietic cells missing. Ps-VCR/Vol 1/12 And Ps-VCR/Vol 1/48 Leukemia cells in the leg bones of group mice were significantly reduced compared to the vesicular single agent group, but were still visible, while Ps-VCR/Vol 1/24 Hematopoietic cells were normal in the leg bones and leukemia cells were not seen (fig. 15A), all of which were consistent with the infiltration results of the flow assay. The proliferation of tumor cells in the bone marrow cavity can cause bone pain due to excessive bone marrow cavity pressure. In addition, NF- κB receptor activating ligand (RANKL) may activate osteoclasts, enhance bone resorption and cause bone destruction. AML cells inhibit osteoprotegerin, which can block RANKL, leading to abnormal activation of osteoclasts and causing reduced bone mass and osteoporosis. The change in bone microenvironment of each group of mice was assessed using tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining and micro-CT. From TRAP staining patterns, it was found that PBS and vesicle single drug treatment groups had abnormally increased osteoclast numbers, and that the number of osteoclasts was significantly decreased in the leg bones of mice in each group of Ps-VCR/Vol, especially Ps-VCR/Vol 1/24 The group remained identical to healthy mice (fig. 15B). From the Micro-CT image, the bone trabeculae in the bone marrow cavities of the femur and tibia of the PBS group are largely disappeared, and the cortical bone has the phenomenon of dissolving bone. The single drug group of the Ps-VCR and the Ps-Vol vesicles, although improved over the PBS group, remained at a lower level, ps-VCR/Vol 1/24 Bone damage can be significantly ameliorated (fig. 16A). Bone mineral density of mouse leg bone after Ps-VCR/Vol treatmentThe bone volume fraction, the bone surface area, the bone trabecular thickness and the bone trabecular number are obviously improved, the bone trabecular separation degree is reduced, and the Ps-VCR/Vol is reduced 1/24 The group was not different from healthy mice, whereas the vesicular single drug group had only a slight improvement in PBS (fig. 16B).
In order to further verify the in vivo synergistic anti-AML effects of Ps-VCR/Vol, in situ MV-4-11 and WEHI-3 AML mouse models were established. In situ MV-4-11The AML mouse model was established as that of Molm-13-Luc. To establish in situ WEHI-3AML mouse model, 200 [ mu ] L WEHI-3AML cell suspension (5×10) 6 And personal) was injected into 6-week-old BALB/c female mice by tail vein, and the inoculation was on day 0. In situ MV-4-11 and WEHI-3AML mice were dosed on day 3 post-inoculation with 6 mice each, each with PBS, ps-VCR, ps-Vol, ps-VCR/Vol 1/24 And Ps-VCR/Vol 1/48 The dose and frequency of administration were consistent with those in the in situ Molm-13-Luc mouse model (FIG. 17A). Mice were continuously monitored for body weight and survival period during and after dosing. The study shows that in situ MV-4-11 AML mice have higher malignancy and rapid onset, the PBS group MST has a limited therapeutic effect for 20 days, and the single medicine groups of Ps-VCR and Ps-Vol vesicles have only slightly prolonged median survival time, and MST has a single medicine group of 26.5 days and 25 days (figure 17B). However, ps-VCR/Vol 1/24 And Ps-VCR/Vol 1/48 The treatment effectively eliminates leukemia cells in mice, has no disease symptoms in 180 days, realizes complete cure, and prolongs the survival period by more than 7 times and more than 9 times compared with vesicle single drug and PBS respectivelyp<0.001). In situ WEHI-3 AML mouse model, ps-VCR/Vol 1/24 And Ps-VCR/Vol 1/48 The survival time of the mice is effectively prolonged, and the Ps-VCR/Vol is 180 days 1/24 Group mice survived all, ps-VCR/Vol 1/48 Half of the mice survived, and the median survival time was not reached, and there was a significant increase in the survival time compared to the Ps-VCR (MST: 57 days), ps-Vol (MST: 53 days) and PBS (40 days) groupsp<0.001 (fig. 17D). Importantly, no significant decrease in body weight occurred in each group of mice during the treatment period (FIG. 17C, E), indicating good in vivo safety of Ps-VCR/Vol. The above results together show that the Ps-VCR/Vol has powerful body Internally synergistic anti-AML activity, complete cure was achieved in all 3 different in situ AML models.
