Description

Exosome freeze-drying protective agent, exosome freeze-drying method and exosome freeze-dried powder
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of exosomes, in particular to an exosome freeze-drying protective agent, an exosome freeze-drying method and exosome freeze-drying powder.
Background
Exosomes (Exosomes) are vesicles (Extracellular Vesicles, EVs) secreted by cells to the outside of cells, having a size of 30-150 nm, a bilayer membrane structure and a tea-tray-like morphology, containing abundant contents (including nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, etc.), and involved in the transfer of molecules between cells. Exosomes are widely present in cell culture supernatants and in various body fluids, including blood, lymph, saliva, urine, semen, milk, etc., as well as in tissue samples, such as brain tissue, muscle tissue, adipose tissue, etc. Research has found that the exosomes secreted by stem cells mimic the biological function of stem cells and have also gradually been demonstrated to promote tissue repair and treat some refractory disorders. In addition, compared with stem cell preparations, the stem cell exosome has the characteristics of relatively determined components, easiness in quality control and the like, so that the stem cell exosome has wide application prospect and value.
The exosome double-layer lipid membrane structure ensures good stability, and can protect internal biomolecules from various enzymes in body fluid, thereby maintaining the integrity and bioactivity. However, the extracted exosomes are subject to a number of more complex storage environmental conditions, such as storage media, storage temperature and time. The temperature of-80℃is recognized as the optimum preservation temperature for preserving various biological specimens, such as semen, urine, milk, blood and bronchoalveolar lavage. The most common exosome storage method at present is-80 ℃ cryopreservation, but it is difficult to maintain such low temperature conditions during handling or transportation. Furthermore, cryopreservation may lead to changes in the shape and physical properties of the exosomes, and may also lead to the formation and aggregation of multiple vesicles. In addition, repeated freeze thawing can also result in changes in the biological properties, content and marker composition of the exosome surface molecules.
The freeze-drying technology provides a new choice for exosome preservation. The freeze-drying process is carried out at low temperature, and does not denature heat-sensitive substances such as proteins, microorganisms and the like or lose biological activity. Meanwhile, the growth of the microorganism and the action of the enzyme cannot be performed, so that the original properties can be maintained. In addition, the freeze-drying process is carried out in a frozen state, the volume is almost unchanged, the exosome can keep the original structure, and the concentration phenomenon can not occur. However, the existing exosome freeze-drying technology often requires pre-freezing for a long time at-80 ℃, freeze-drying is directly performed at a higher temperature, the quality of the freeze-dried powder is seriously reduced, and the storage life is obviously insufficient. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a more advantageous lyoprotectant, and use a more efficient lyophilization temperature parameter, so that the exosomes can be lyophilized at a higher temperature to obtain a lyophilized powder with good quality and long shelf life.

In some embodiments of the application, the expectorant antioxidant comprises at least one of N-acetylcysteine, ambroxol hydrochloride, carbocisteine, and erdosteine.
Among them, N-acetylcysteine is a thiol-containing antioxidant whose principle of eliminating phlegm is to break disulfide bonds (-S-S-) of mucin, which is a main component of sputum, thereby diluting the sputum, and its antioxidant property is also based on thiol function. The phlegm eliminating principle of ambroxol hydrochloride is similar to that of ambroxol hydrochloride, and the viscous phlegm is promoted to be dissolved by breaking mucin fibers in the sputum, so that the viscosity of the sputum is reduced. Simultaneously, ambroxol hydrochloride also has good antioxidation effect on inhibiting and removing OH, HOCl, H 2 O 2 、O 2 And the like has better effect. Carbocisteine eliminates phlegm and increases the secretion of low-viscosity proteins and reduces the secretion of high-viscosity proteins by acting on the secretion of bronchus glands, so that the viscosity of sputum is reduced. In addition, carbocisteine contains a large amount of sulfhydryl groups in the molecular structure, so that the carbocisteine has high antioxidation effect. Erdosteine by augmentation of bronchiThe continuous secretion of the slurry reduces the viscosity of the sputum and accelerates the discharge of the sputum to realize the phlegm elimination. The antioxidant mechanism is also derived from the thiol character. Therefore, in the examples of the present application, these specific expectorant antioxidants are selected to prevent oxidation of the biologically active substances in the exosomes and to avoid deterioration of the exosomes during lyophilization and during storage. And the freeze-drying protection of exosomes is realized by combining non-reducing sugar and alcohols.

And extracting the freeze-dried premix and total RNA of the freeze-dried powder by using a Trizol method, measuring the content of the total RNA, and respectively calculating the loss rate and the retention rate of the total RNA after the freeze-dried powder is initially stored for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months based on the freeze-dried premix, wherein the result is shown in Table 4, and the total RNA change is not obvious in the process of storing the exosome freeze-dried powder.
TABLE 4 variation of total RNA concentration of samples
The CCK-8 method is used for testing the growth condition of the human fibroblasts in 0/48h with and without the addition of the freeze-dried powder, the growth condition of the human fibroblasts in the absence of the freeze-dried powder (control group) is taken as a benchmark, and the proliferation promoting effect of the added freeze-dried powder (experimental group) on the cells is calculated according to the following calculation formula:
the results are shown in fig. 4, and it can be seen from the graph that the lyophilized premix, the lyophilized powder of exosomes in the product stored for a period of time have good cell proliferation promoting activity, and the biological activity is still maintained at a high level after 3 months to 12 months of storage, and the decrease is not obvious.
Example 3
Freeze-drying effect of different types of extracellular bodies
Referring to example 2, after preparing and purifying exosomes of Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs) and natural killer cells (NK), the exosomes of the two cells were lyophilized using a lyophilization process therein, and compared with the Mesenchymal Stem Cell (MSC) exosomes of example 2, the results are shown in fig. 5. It can be seen from the figure that the exosomes of the three types of cells with larger difference still have obvious tea tray-like exosomes after being freeze-dried, and the exosomes of the various different types of cells are less influenced by the freeze-drying process of the embodiment of the application, so that the freeze-drying process is suitable for freeze-drying protection of a plurality of cell exosomes.
Example 4
Lyophilization time optimization
According to the lyophilization process in example 2, different lyophilization times were adjusted and the yield of lyophilized exosomes was calculated according to the following formula:
yield= (number of freeze-dried finished products/total freeze-dried) x 100%.
The results are shown in Table 5:
TABLE 5 influence of different lyophilization times on lyophilized powder
The freeze-drying temperature curve in the embodiment is friendly to exosome freeze-drying, and the freeze-drying temperature of about-30 ℃ and the freeze-drying time of about 20 hours can be selected, so that compared with the prior art, the freeze-drying temperature curve is more energy-saving in the process of pre-freezing at the low temperature of-80 ℃, and the morphological structure or the biological activity of the exosome are not obviously influenced.
Comparative example
Freeze-drying effect comparison of different types of antioxidants
Common antioxidants include vitamins (T1), detoxication (T2) and expectorant (T3), in this example, vitamin a as T1, sodium thiosulfate as T2, N-acetylcysteine as T3, and a control group (C) without antioxidant, and the total protein of each group was tested with reference to example 2, and the results are shown in fig. 6. As can be seen from the graph, the total protein amount of the T3 group sample is higher than that of the control group, and the total protein amounts of the T1 and T2 group samples are significantly lower than that of the control group, so that the T3 group antioxidant has better protection effect on exosomes in the freeze-drying process.
