The target cells of the present invention may be any type of cells, preferably animal cells, more preferably human cells, including in particular germ cells, somatic cells. Non-limiting examples of somatic cells include, but are not limited to, lymphocytes, such as B cells, T cells, natural killer cells, cytokine-induced killer Cells (CIK) cells; bone marrow cells such as granulocytes, monocytes/macrophages, erythrocytes, mast cells, platelets/megakaryocytes, dendritic cells; cells from the endocrine system, including thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal gland, pineal gland cells; nervous system cells, including glial cells; cells of the respiratory system, including lung cells; cells of the circulatory system, including cardiomyocytes, pericytes; digestive system cells including gastric cells, goblet cells, panda cells, S cells; enteroendocrine cells, including enterochromaffin cells, APUD cells, hepatocytes, cartilage/bone/muscle; bone cells, including osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteoclasts, teeth; chondrocytes, including chondroblasts, chondrocytes; skin cells, including hair cells, keratinocytes, melanocytes; muscle cells, including muscle cells; urinary system cells including podocytes, periglomerular cells, mesangial cells/mesangial cells, tubular brush border cells proximal to the kidney, and macular density cells; germ cells including sperm, podocytes, leigh cells, ova; and other cells.
The electric conversion is a mode of exosome exogenous loading. Electrotransformation, also known as cell electroporation (electroporation), is an important method for introducing exogenous macromolecular substances DNA, RNA, siRNA, proteins, etc., as well as some small molecules into the interior of cell membranes. Under the action of instantaneous strong electric field, cell membrane in the solution has certain permeability, and charged exogenous matter enters cell membrane in electrophoresis mode. Because the resistance of the cell membrane phospholipid bilayer is large, the cell bipolar voltage generated by the current field outside the cell is born by the cell membrane, the voltage separated in the cytoplasm is negligible, and almost no current exists in the cytoplasm, so that the cytotoxicity in the electrotransformation process in the normal range is also determined to be small. The specific parameters of the electric rotating can be adjusted according to the exosome state and the culture environment, and the fine adjustment of the electric rotating parameters is within the skill of the person skilled in the art.
Specifically, the exogenous gene of the present invention may have any naturally occurring or artificially constructed polynucleotide sequence. Specifically, the foreign gene may be DNA or RNA, and the DNA may encode any functional gene, for example, a functional gene in a gene therapy product such as ADA (adenosine deaminase), growth factor beta 1 (TGF-. Beta.1), beta-globin gene (beta.A-T87Q-globin gene), ABCD1 gene, etc. The RNA includes coding RNA such as mRNA, non-coding RNA such as tRNA, rRNA, snoRNA, snRNA, miRNA and lncRNA or artificially synthesized RNA such as siRNA (small interferring RNA), shRNA (short hairpin RNA), sgRNA (small guide RNA), ASO (antisense oligonucleotide).

Materials, reagents and the like used in the examples described below are commercially available unless otherwise specified.
The experimental material information used in the invention is as follows:
experimental materials
Exosomes used in the specific examples of the present invention were derived from adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) and cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells according to 1:1, purifying and concentrating the obtained supernatant by a hollow fiber column.
In the specific example of the present invention, plasmid pAAV-SFFV-Luciferase-eGFP (6676 bp) was used as the foreign DNA, which will be hereinafter also referred to as plasmid DNA, pDNA, pD.
In the specific embodiment of the invention, HEK293T is taken as a target cell for experiments.
Example one, exosomes encapsulate exogenous DNA by electroporation
The 1mL system electric rotating cup using the cellcyte electric rotating instrument has an electric rotating program of "-4", and the specific electric rotating system is as follows: from electrified transfer liquid or DPBS as electrotransfer buffer, plasmid copy number: exosome vesicle number = 500:1, the exosome concentration in the exosome electrical rotator system used in the present invention is 9×10 9 /mL to 5X 10 10 /mL (NTA detection particle count).
The steps of the electric conversion are as follows:
1) The exosomes were incubated with plasmid pAAV-SFFV-Luciferase-eGFP for 15min at room temperature;
2) Electroporation of exosome-plasmid systems;
3) Digesting the remaining plasmids not electroporated into exosomes using DNase I;
4) Heat-inactivating DNase I at 75 ℃ for 30min, crushing exosomes at 95 ℃ for 10 min, qPCR (quantitative polymerase chain reaction) detecting plasmid copy number wrapped by exosomes (detection primers are universal primers of WPRE elements carried by plasmids), and calculating DNA copy number entering exosomes according to the used exosomes to represent electrotransformation efficiency.
In the experiment, exosomes without mixed plasmid DNA are used as qPCR templates (EXO-1, EXO-2) as negative parameters, plasmid DNA with different concentrations is used as a qPCR template to be used as copy number-cycle number standard curve, and DNase I digestion groups are used as templates (plasmid-1, plasmid-2) for the plasmids without exosomes in experiment group 1; exosomes from experimental group 2 were mixed with plasmid without electrotransformation, and digested with DNase i as templates (exo+plasmid-0V-1, exo+plasmid-0V-2); exosomes from experimental group 3 were mixed with plasmid and then electrotransformed, and digested with DNase i as templates (exo+plasma- (-4) -1, exo+plasma- (-4) -2).
Table 1, experimental set-up of example 1
TABLE 2 electric conversion efficiency of exosomes
As shown in table 2 and fig. 1, the electroporation method used in experiment group 3 can significantly increase the copy number of plasmid DNA entering the exosomes, and the DNA entering the exosomes is not degraded by the subsequent DNase i due to the protection of the exosome phospholipid bilayer membrane, compared with the reference group and experiment groups 1 and 2.
Example two lysosomal inhibitors promote exosome delivery of pDNA expression
Previous experiments by the inventors found that the exosomes loaded with plasmid DNA by electrotransformation described in example 1 were added to the HEK293T cell culture system with only a small expression of the reporter GFP in the cells. The inventors speculate that the possible reasons for this phenomenon are: (1) The drug carrier enters cells through endocytic pathway to form endosomes (endosomes), and the carrier-drug particles wrapped by the endosomes are degraded by lysosomes in the cells; (2) DNA released into the cytoplasm needs to be transferred into the nucleus to complete transcription, whereas pure exosome-loaded exogenous DNA lacks a mechanism to direct exogenous DNA into the nucleus of the target cell.
The inventors propose the following assumptions: expression of exosome-delivered plasmid DNA in target cells is promoted by adding to the system certain components that promote the entry of exogenous genes into the target cell nucleus, and/or inhibit the degradation of exosome-DNA by lysosomes in the target cells. P3000 is an adjunct component of the commercial cationic lipid transfection reagent Lipo3000 that is widely used today, whose chemical composition is unpublished, and functions to facilitate the entry of DNA delivered by cationic lipid transfected cells into the target nucleus.
To verify the above concept, this example adds P3000 and lysosomal inhibitor chloroquine on the basis of the system of example 1, and examines its effect on the efficiency of exosome delivery of pDNA.
The specific operation steps are as follows:
(1) P3000 and pDNA are mixed and incubated for 15min at room temperature, and the dosage of P3000 is as follows: 2. Mu.L/g pDNA.
(2) Exosomes were co-electrotransferred with P3000-pDNA mixture, plasmid copy number: exosome vesicle number = 500:1, a step of; here, the exosomes were 500 μg, and the plasmids used were 30 μg;
(3) Standing the electrotransformed sample on ice for 30min, adding the electrotransformed sample into a high-sugar DMEM cell culture medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, simultaneously adding 50 mu M chloroquine, and transferring the cells into a six-hole plate in a 6-hole cell culture plate for 24h before incubating with 100 ten thousand HEK293T cells for 48h, wherein each hole contains 30 ten thousand cells, and the cells are about 100 ten thousand cells after 24 h;
(4) The expression efficiency of reporter GFP in target cells was observed using a fluorescence microscope.
The experiment uses plasmid DNA alone plus P3000 group (pd+p3000) as negative control 1; plasmid DNA plus P3000 and chloroquine group (pD+P3000+CQ) as negative control 2; mixing the plasmid with P3000, adding exosome, mixing, and performing no electric transformation (EXO+ (pD+P3000) -0V) to obtain experimental group 1; mixing the plasmid with P3000, adding exosome, mixing without electrotransformation, and adding chloroquine (EXO+ (pD+P3000) -0V+CQ) to obtain experimental group 2; mixing the plasmid with P3000, adding exosome, mixing, and converting to experimental group 3 by electrotransformation (EXO+ (pD+P3000) -4V); the plasmid was mixed with P3000, then exosomes were added for mixing and electrotransformation, and chloroquine (EXO+ (pD+P3000) -4V+CQ) was added during cell incubation as experimental group 4.
Table 3, experimental set-up of example 2
Name of the name | Plasmid(s) | P3000 | Chloroquine (CQ) | Electric rotating device | |
Negative control 1 | pD+P3000 | √ | √ | ||
Negative control 2 | pD+P3000+CQ | √ | √ | √ | |
Experiment group 1 | EXO+(pD+P3000)-0V | √ | √ | ||
Experiment group 2 | EXO+(pD+P3000)-0V+CQ | √ | √ | √ | |
Experiment group 3 | EXO+(pD+P3000)--4V | √ | √ | √ | |
Experiment group 4 | EXO+(pD+P3000)--4V+CQ | √ | √ | √ | √ |
The experimental results show that when P3000 and chloroquine are added to the exosome-plasmid DNA delivery system simultaneously, the expression of the reporter gene is increased, which proves that promoting DNA nuclear localization and lysosome inhibition can improve the delivery expression efficiency of pDNA (fig. 2).
Example III Heat Shock Protein (HSP) promotes exosome delivery of pDNA expression
The use of P3000 has little effect on DNA expression to promote exosome delivery and its composition is ambiguous. The present invention contemplates the use of defined components in place of P3000, and in particular relates to the expression of plasmids in cells that utilize polypeptides containing nuclear localization sequences and capable of binding DNA to assist in exosome delivery. The nuclear localization signal is typically a short amino acid sequence that promotes entry into the nucleus by interacting with the nuclear pore complex. The proof of concept phase utilizes Heat Shock Proteins (HSP) containing Nuclear Localization Sequences (NLS) to co-incubate with pDNA, and then the HSP-pDNA complex is electrotransformed into exosomes to infect cells.
The method comprises the following specific steps:
(1) 500 ten thousand HEK293T cells were incubated at 42℃with 5% C0 2 Culturing for 3h/8h/16h respectively;
(2) Collecting the culture supernatant, centrifuging at 1500r and 4 ℃ for 15min, and re-suspending the HSP protein precipitate by 1mL of DPBS;
(3) Repeatedly freezing and thawing HSP protein for 3 times;
(4) 1mL of the obtained HSP protein was mixed with 30. Mu.g of pDNA at room temperature and incubated for 30min;
(5) Exosomes were co-electrotransferred with HSP-pDNA mixtures, plasmid copy number: exosome vesicle number = 500:1, a step of;
(6) Standing the electrotransformed sample on ice for 30min, adding the sample to 2mL of high-sugar DMEM cell culture medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, and incubating the sample with 30 ten thousand HEK293T cells in a 6-hole cell culture plate for 48h;
(7) The expression efficiency of the reporter gene GFP was examined using a fluorescence microscope.
The negative control group is an HSP-free electrotransformation group (EXO+pD-4); experiment group 1 is exosome non-electrotransformation group (EXO+ (pD+HSP-16 h) -0) of HSP recovered after HEK293T heat shock culture for 16h; experiment group 2 is exosome electrotransformation group (EXO+ (pD+HSP-3 h) - -4) of HSP collected after HEK293T is added for heat shock culture for 3 h; experiment group 3 is exosome electrotransformation group (EXO+ (pD+HSP-8 h) - -4) of HSP collected after HEK293T is added for heat shock culture for 8h; experimental group 4 is exosome electrotransformation group (EXO+ (pD+HSP-16 h) - -4) of HSP harvested after 16h of heat shock culture with HEK 293T.

The results show that in the absence of HSP added to the system, the electroporation exosome delivery plasmid had little expression in the target cells, and in the electroporation exosome system, the addition of heat shock proteins allowed expression of exosome delivered DNA in part of the target cells (fig. 3).
Collecting culture medium centrifugal precipitation containing HSP generated by HEK293T heat stress, incubating with pDNA, co-electrotransferring negative control with exosomes, and performing no eGFP expression on the experimental group 1 without electrotransferring, wherein a small amount of eGFP expression is generated, and the eGFP expression is increased along with the extension of HEK293T heat stress time of the experimental groups 2-4.
Example IV, NLS/NLS-DBD promotes exosome delivery of pDNA expression
In order to assist in the expression of exosome-delivered DNA using the defined polypeptides, 7 polypeptides were designed containing a nuclear localization sequence (Nuclear localization signal, nuclear localization sequence, NLS) and/or a DNA Binding Domain (DBD) with the polypeptide sequences shown in table 5.
TABLE 5 polypeptide sequences
Note that: the underlined sequence in the NLS-DBD sequence is the DBD sequence.
In addition to the 7 polypeptides above, other polypeptide sequences can be designed based on other nuclear localization signals and DNA binding domains, and sequences that enhance pDNA recognition, localization, expression can also be linked. Different polypeptides can act in combination and complement each other.
The method comprises the following specific steps:
1) According to the mass concentration ratio of the substances (note: not mass ratio), polypeptide (accessory polypeptide): pDNA copy number = 100:1. pDNA copy number: exosome number = 500:1, preparing a sample according to the proportion;
2) Mixing and incubating the polypeptide and pDNA for 30min at room temperature;
3) Co-electrotransport of exosomes with the polypeptide-pDNA mixture;
4) Standing the electrotransformed sample on ice for 30min, adding the sample into a cell culture medium, and incubating the sample with 100 ten thousand HEK293T cells for 48h;
5) The expression efficiency of the reporter gene in the target cells and the proportion of positive cells were detected using a fluorescence microscope and a flow cytometer, respectively.
As a result, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the plasmid delivered by directly electroporated exosomes was not efficiently expressed in the target cells, whereas the plasmid delivered by exosome electroporation after the pre-mixing of NLS/NLS-DBD and plasmid DNA was expressed in part of the target cells.
Example five, NLS and KK58 polypeptides promote exosome delivery of pDNA expression
The present invention detects KK58 polypeptide ((KH) 6 ) For use in combination with NLS/NLS-DBD, the KK58 polypeptide sequence is: KHKHKHKHKKKHKHKHKHKKHKHKHKHKKKHKHKHKHKKHK HKHKHK KKHKHKHKHKK (SEQ ID NO. 17).
Taking PV-7 NLS as an example, adding KK58 polypeptide into an exosome-pDNA+NLS sample after electrotransformation, mixing thoroughly, and incubating for 30min; KK58 polypeptide: pDNA copy number = 100:1 followed by incubation of 48H in 100 ten thousand H EK293T, fluorescence microscopy and flow detection of reporter gene expression in target cells.
The results indicate that the combination KK58 polypeptide can further promote the efficiency of exosome delivery of pDNA (fig. 7). Example six NLS-DBD polypeptide promotes Gene delivery efficiency of exosome-PEI Mixed vector with lower concentration of PEI
In the method reported by Munagala, R et al, 2021, (doi: 10.1016/j. Canlet. 2021.02.011), pDNA was delivered using an exosome and Polyethylenimine (PEI) complex, with PEI levels up to 50% of the exosome, with excessive concentrations causing significant cytotoxicity and overall delivery efficiency.
The invention uses NLS-DBD polypeptide, can obviously improve the efficiency of exosome delivery of pDNA and reduce the dosage of PEI, prevents cytotoxicity, and has a positive rate of reporter gene expression of more than 70%.
The method comprises the following specific steps:
(1) According to the polypeptide (helper polypeptide): pdna=100: 1, pDNA: exosome = 500:1, preparing a sample according to the proportion;
(2) Mixing and incubating the polypeptide and pDNA for 30min at room temperature;
(3) Exosomes were incubated with PEI for 5min at room temperature, PEI dose: 10 mug
(4) Co-electrotransport of PEI-exosomes with the polypeptide-pDNA mixture;
(5) Standing the sample subjected to electric transformation on ice for 30min, adding 1/3 of the sample into a cell culture medium, and incubating 48 and h with cells;
(6) The expression efficiency was examined.
PEI was used in the electrotransport system at a dose of 10. Mu.g (original concentration of reagent: 1. Mu.g/. Mu.L, added 10. Mu.g/. Mu.L), pDNA at 30. Mu.g, and the ratio of exosome to pDNA copy number was 1:500 (250. Mu.g of exosomes used in this experiment), 1/3 of the sample was taken and 10 was added during cell incubation 7 In the cells, the amount of PEI required for the systemic delivery of equivalent plasmids was 1.9% and 0.95% of the prior art, and the positive rate of reporter gene expression was significantly higher than that of the prior art (FIGS. 8 and 9).
Example seven, epsilon-PLL promoted exosome delivery of pDNA expression
Polylysine (PLL) can be classified into a-PLL and epsilon-PLL according to the amino groups forming peptide bonds between monomers. At present, amino acid polymers such as polylysine or polyhistidine are taken as nucleic acid vectors, which are generally unsuccessful, and the main problem is that the delivery efficiency of the vectors used independently is low, and various practical application scenes cannot be met.
The present invention uses epsilon-PLL to deliver plasmid DNA in a mixed fashion with exosomes, in particular 400 μg and 1mg epsilon-PLL, respectively, is used instead of PEI.
epsilon-PLL and plasmid were shocked alone without exosomes (PLL+pD-0V) as controls, and experiment 1 was first incubated with epsilon-PLL and exosomes in mixture, plasmid with KK34 polypeptide in mixture ((PLL-EXO) + (pD+KK34) -0V); experiment group 2 was first incubated with epsilon-PLL and exosomes, plasmid and KK34 polypeptides, followed by electroporation ((PLL-EXO) + (pD+KK34) - -4). The method comprises the following specific steps:
1) According to the mass concentration of the substance, the polypeptide: pdna=100: 1. pDNA: exosome = 500:1, preparing a sample according to the proportion;
2) Mixing and incubating the polypeptide and pDNA for 30min at room temperature;
3) Exosomes were incubated with epsilon-PLL for 5min at room temperature, epsilon-PLL amounts: 400 μg and 1mg;
4) Co-electrotransport of epsilon-PLL-exosomes with the polypeptide-pDNA mixture;
5) Standing the electrotransformed sample on ice for 30min, adding the sample into a cell culture medium, and incubating the sample and cells for 48h;
6) Fluorescence microscopy and flow detection of expression efficiency.
Table 6, experimental set-up of example 7
The results in FIGS. 10-13 show that both the different doses of epsilon-PLL and plasmid experimental groups showed that the "-4" electrotransformed group, pDNA-eGFP, had better expression efficiency than the non-electrotransformed group and epsilon-PLL+plasma group, and that epsilon-PLL 1mg was better than 400. Mu.g. It has also been demonstrated that the mixed incubation of epsilon-PLL with exosomes and the combination of NLS-DBD polypeptides also increases the efficiency of exosome delivery of pDNA, and can be used for in vivo large gene drug delivery.
