Description

Epsin1-Epsin2-shRNA functional gene coating stent and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of vascular stents, and particularly provides an Epsin1-Epsin2-shRNA functional gene coating stent.
Background
With the aging of the social population, cerebrovascular diseases are becoming a leading cause of death worldwide. Among these cerebrovascular diseases, ischemic stroke is the highest, with about 15-20% of ischemic strokes being due to carotid atherosclerosis and carotid stenosis. Due to the low risk of injury in intravascular interventions, few surgical complications, interventional procedures have become one of the main approaches to treat such diseases. However, neointimal hyperplasia (IH) can lead to restenosis of the lumen, leading to failure of angioplasty. Without preventive intervention, the incidence of restenosis would reach 30-50% within 6 months after surgery. The occurrence of neointimal hyperplasia thus severely affects the long-term efficacy and safety of carotid stenting. The current drugs for preventing stenosis, such as rapamycin (sirolimus) and paclitaxel, applied to drug-coated stents, all prevent neointimal thickening by inhibiting smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration. However, these drugs do not selectively inhibit proliferation, migration of smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells, and cause long-term damage to endothelial cells. Endothelial cells have reduced proliferative migration capacity and the damaged vessel cannot be endothelialized in time, resulting in a greatly increased risk of late thrombosis and late restenosis.
Endothelial dysfunction and endothelial cell loss are also one of the causes of neointimal hyperplasia. If endothelialization is rapid after stent implantation, neointima will be reduced and the risk of post-stent stenosis and late stent thrombosis will be significantly reduced. In addition, rapid regeneration of the endothelium and protection of endothelial cell function may also indirectly inhibit proliferation and migration of SMC to reduce intimal hyperplasia. Thus, protecting endothelial cells functions plays an important role in preventing restenosis.
Drug eluting stents and drug eluting balloons are currently used to reduce neointimal hyperplasia by inhibiting smooth muscle cell proliferation. However, these antiproliferative agents also inhibit endothelial cell growth, resulting in delayed endothelial healing. Long-term clinical studies of stents or balloons employing these drugs often report cases of vascular Smooth Muscle Cell (SMC) fibrosis and advanced stent thrombosis, which raise concerns about the clinical application prospects of these drug eluting stents and drug eluting balloons.
The family of growth regulatory proteins (Epsin) proteins is known for their role as highly conserved, membrane-associated, ubiquitin-binding endocytic adaptors, exhibiting high specificity in binding protein selection. Under different pathophysiological conditions, their expression in different cells is different. In the context of atherosclerosis, epsin1 and Epsin2 expression is increased in endothelial cells and macrophages. Epsin interacts with IP3R1 in endothelial cells and binds to LRP-1 in macrophages. This cell-specific targeting of Epsin has therapeutic potential.

The preparation method of the Epsin1-Epsin2-shRNA functional gene coating stent comprises the following steps:
step one, immersing a stent body in PrS solution;
step two, taking out the bracket main body, and washing with buffer solution;
step three, immersing the stent main body taken out in the step two into an Epsin1-Epsin2-shRNA solution;
step four, repeating the washing in the step two;

and step six, cleaning and air-drying the support main body, and placing the support main body into a dryer at room temperature for storage.
Further, the immersion time in the first step is 6 to 10 minutes, most preferably 8 minutes.

All data were analyzed using One-way ANOVA and the differences between groups were compared using multiple comparisons (Tukey's multiple comparisons tests), P <0.05 indicating that the differences were statistically significant.
3. Experimental results
3.1 in order to evaluate the variation of the expression level of Epsin in the carotid stenosis formation process of mice, the experiment shows that the level of immunohistochemistry of the Epsin is remarkably increased in the carotid artery ligation model group mice compared with the sham operation group mice by carrying out 7 days on the two groups of mice, namely the sham operation group mice and the carotid artery ligation model group mice, which shows that the expression of the Epsin in the carotid artery stenosis model of the mice is increased, and the positive correlation exists between the Epsin and the carotid artery stenosis of the mice. Has statistical significance (P < 0.05), and is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
3.2 on the basis of clear positive correlation of Epsin and proliferative vascular diseases, in order to further explore the specific mechanism of Epsin's role in proliferative vascular diseases, this study was performed by subjecting endothelial cells to four different treatments, siControl, siEpsin1+siepsin2, sicontrol+vegf, siEpsin1+siepsin2+vegf. Due to the similarity of the functions of Epsin1 and Epsin2, knocking down of Epsin leads to increased expression content of the endothelial cells Ki67, the relative migration distance is prolonged, and knocking down of Epsin promotes proliferation and migration of endothelial cells, which is also the first step of ensuring early endothelialization after vascular injury. See fig. 3, 4, 5 and 6 for details.
3.3 further studies showed that knocking down Epsin stabilizes endothelial cell function by maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis. Mitochondrial performance (especially mitochondrial fission) in endothelial cells is significantly regulated by mitochondrial dynamics. Thus, we studied whether knockdown of Epsin protects endothelial cells for mitochondrial dysfunction by alleviating mitochondrial fission. By observing the mitochondrial morphology through immunofluorescence, the Epsin knockdown obviously increases the area of mitochondria in endothelial cells and increases the activity of the endothelial cells. Meanwhile, the Epsin knockdown protects the mitochondrial potential homeostasis of endothelial cells and maintains the stability of the endothelial cells. See fig. 7, 8, 9 and 10 for details.
3.4, we found that Epsin knockdown endothelial cells indirectly inhibited smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration. See fig. 11, 12, 13 and 14 for details.
3.5 HUVECs were seeded onto scaffolds and transfection of these cells was observed under confocal laser scanning microscopy. It is blue, indicating that the cells on the scaffold are evenly distributed and almost completely covered. Some cells fluoresce green, indicating that they have been transfected.
The scaffold was examined with a scanning electron microscope. No metal support, smooth surface and no fittings. The machined support surface coating is uniform.
Example III
To directly evaluate the Epsin-shRNA functional coated scaffolds, the functional coated scaffolds were compared to shRNA groups and Epsin-shRNA functional coated scaffold groups. At 1 week (W) and 1 month (M), the samples were observed and analyzed. Angiography was performed 15 minutes after successful implantation to confirm that the cavity was clear, free of filling defects, vessel wall dissection, embolism, stent displacement or distal vasospasm. There were no significant differences in heart rate, blood pressure and body weight in the preoperative, intraoperative and follow-up angiography groups. No obvious abnormal behavior, diet and defecation after operation.
Histomorphology analysis
Hematoxylin-eosin (he) staining images showed that the shEpsin scaffold forms a monolayer of endothelial cells on the shEpsin scaffold on days 7 and 7 after 1 month of scaffold implantation, whereas the control group was directly exposed to blood. After one month, the endomembrane proliferation of the shEpsin scaffold was less than that of the control group, figures 15, 16, 17.
In this study, endothelial cell proliferation and migration were increased, which is the first step required for endothelialization, while we found that Epsin1 and 2 endocytic adaptor proteins play a novel role in endothelial cell division into mitochondria, which is common in proliferative vascular diseases such as restenosis following carotid artery injury. Endothelial mitochondrial volume is one of the main mechanisms responsible for abnormal proliferation of blood vessels; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Plays a key role in the widely accepted model of "endothelial injury". Knocking down Epsin reduces mitochondrial division in endothelial cells. Maintains membrane potential steady state of mitochondria, protects activity of mitochondria, and maintains relative stability of endothelial cells.
Meanwhile, we found that Epsin knockdown indirectly inhibited smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration by promoting endothelialization, reducing endothelial inflammation and mitochondrial oxidative stress. Provides a new target for treating the proliferative vascular diseases.
Targeting Epsin to VEGFR2 in endothelial cells has shown promise in the treatment of various cancers. In the mouse model of atherosclerosis, it reduces activation of endothelial NF- κB and reduces endothelial inflammation. Also, recent studies have found that inhibition of Epsin promotes the formation of a monolayer of endothelium on the surface of vascular grafts.

Example five

step one, immersing a stent body in PrS solution;
step two, taking out the bracket main body, and washing with buffer solution;
step three, immersing the stent main body taken out in the step two into an Epsin1-Epsin2-shRNA solution (the solution is a commercially available reagent);
