  • Cryopreservation refers to the preservation of biological materials in an ultra-low temperature state to slow down or stop cell metabolism and division. Once the normal physiological temperature is restored, it can continue to develop. Since its inception, this technology has become one of the indispensable research methods in the natural sciences and has been widely adopted. In recent years, with the increase in life pressure, human fertility has been declining year by year. The preservation of fertility has received more and more attention. The cryopreservation of human germ cells (sperm, oocyte) and gonadal tissue has become preservation An important means of fertility. In addition, with the aging of the world population, the demand for cryopreservation of donated human-derived cells, tissues or organs that can be used in regenerative medicine and organ transplantation is also rapidly increasing.

一种仿生控冰材料及含有该仿生控冰材料的冷冻保存液
本申请要求2019年4月9日向中国国家知识产权局提交的专利申请号为2019102824189、2019102824225、2019102824174、201910282416X、2019102819867的在先申请的优先权。前述在先申请的全文通过引用的方式结合于本申请中。
技术领域
本发明属于生物医用材料技术领域,具体涉及一种仿生控冰材料及含有该仿生控冰材料的冷冻保存液。
背景技术
冷冻保存是指将生物材料保存于超低温状态下,使细胞新陈代谢和分裂速度减慢或者停止,一旦恢复正常生理温度又能继续发育。该技术自问世以来,成为自然科学领域不可缺少的研究方法之一,已被广泛采用。近年来,随着生活压力的增加,人类生育力呈逐年下降的趋势,生育力保存越来越受到人们的重视,人类生殖细胞(精子、卵母细胞)、性腺组织等的冷冻保存就成为保存生育力的重要手段。另外,随着世界人口老龄化加剧,对捐赠的可用于再生医学和器官移植的人源性细胞、组织或器官的冷冻保存的需求也极速增加。因此,如何高效的冷冻保存珍贵的细胞、组织以及器官资源以备不时之需成为亟待解决的科学技术问题。
目前最常用的冷冻保存方法为玻璃化冷冻。玻璃化冷冻技术采用渗透性或非渗透性低温保护剂,虽然在快速冷冻过程中可使细胞内外的液体直接成为玻璃态而避免了冷冻过程中因冰晶形成而导致的损伤。但是,在复温过程中,现有的冷冻保存试剂不能有效的控制冰晶的生长,从而损害细胞。由于抗冻蛋白和仿生控冰材料在分子层面的控冰机制仍有争议,仿生控冰材料的研发只能依赖“试误法”逐步尝试某种控冰材料的控冰效果,工作量大,成功几率低。目前常用的冷冻保存试剂不具备复温过程中有效控制冰晶生长的能力,而且试剂毒性大。

【实施例1】
(1)化合物分子结构设计:
设计含有具有-[CH 2-CHOH]-的重复单元的化合物分子,得到包括无规和等规的聚乙烯醇分子模型的分子结构库。
(2)MD模拟实验
通过MD模拟实验预测无规聚乙烯醇和等规聚乙烯醇对于冰和水的亲和性差异。
a.MD模拟均由GROMACS 5.1完成,水模型选用TIP4P/2005,其熔点约为252.5K。PVA分子的相互作用参数由GROMOS54A7力场提供,采用leapfrog积分算法,积分步长为2fs。静电相互作用通过PME方法计算,库伦作用势和L-J作用势的截断半径均为1.0nm。由V-rescale(modified Berendsen)温度控制器和压强控制器调节温度和压强。时间常数设为0.1ps。
b.模拟选取含有7个重复单元的化合物分子链进行研究。PVA分子的拓扑文件通过ATB生成,且为了保持两种PVA分子的立构规整度,需对分子碳链的二面角势函数做相应的调整。
c.模拟PVA的水溶液体系时,x,y,z三个方向均采用周期性边界条件;模拟冰水混合体系时,x,y两个方向采用周期性边界条件。所有体系均模拟120ns,取后60ns的数据进行分析。
首先研究了分子的水溶液的体系,在只有一条PVA链的体系中,共有1491个水分子,压强为1atm,温度取240K、250K、260K、270K、300K、330K。
在研究PVA分子与冰的相互作用的体系中,在3.9×3.6×1.0nm 3的水盒子中放入6条PVA分子链,把含有1100个水分子的冰块在240K下平衡10ns,把冰快沿z轴方向放置在水盒子下方。把混合体系z方向的大小增大到10nm,并把冰水混合体系置于水盒子中央。
PVA分子的拓扑文件通过ATB生成,直接使用该拓扑文件,且为了保持两种PVA分子的立构 规整度,选择势能参数为50kcal/mol,能够保证即使在较高的温度下,两种PVA分子的分子构型也能被保持住。
MD模拟的两种PVA的分子结构模型参见图9。
(3)评估模拟结果
a-PVA因三倍相邻OH的距离与冰的晶格尺寸匹配,故可以有效地与冰表面发生氢键作用而吸附在冰面上。i-PVA因只改变羟基方向而不改变相邻OH的距离,故可保证i-PVA与a-PVA具有相似的与冰发生吸附作用的能力。同时,根据MD模拟结果可知,a-PVA与水分子形成的分子间氢键数多于i-PVA与水分子形成的分子间氢键数,故a-PVA与水的亲和性较i-PVA更强。此外,MD模拟6条PVA分子链在冰水界面的状态显示,a-PVA因与冰和水都具有良好的亲和性而更倾向于在冰水界面铺展;而i-PVA因与水的亲和性较弱,在冰水界面倾向聚集(图2)。
表1
Figure PCTCN2020077472-appb-000006
MD模拟显示,240K时冰水界面处两种PVA与水分子的可接触面积,a-PVA的可接触表面积大于i-PVA,进一步验证了a-PVA在冰水界面的铺展性能优于i-PVA(参见图10)。MD计算的两种PVA在水溶液中的聚集概率,i-PVA明显高于a-PVA(图11);而且240K时,在冰水界面处,两种PVA与冰-水分子形成的氢键数目相当,但a-PVA在冰水界面处以及水溶液中与水形成分子间氢键数要明显多于i-PVA;故a-PVA可在冰水界面更好的铺展,而i-PVA则聚集(图12)。
因此,通过MD模拟的多项结果均显示,a-PVA由于其分子结构与水分子具有更好的亲和性,因此在冰水界面有更好的铺展性能,相比于i-PVA,应当具有更好的控冰效果。
(4)合成所设计的PVA分子
(4.1)制备无规立构聚乙烯醇a-PVA:分子量约为13~23kDa,间同规整度r(diad syndiotacticity)约为55%
氩气氛围保护下,在250mL圆底烧瓶中将已除去抑制剂的乙酸乙烯酯(vinyl acetate,VAc,Sigma-Aldrich)溶解在100mL的溶剂中(甲醇)以获得25%~45%的VAc溶液。将上述溶液冷却到-5℃后,将80mM的2,2'-偶氮二(2-甲基丙腈)(2,2’-Azobis(2-methylpropionitrile,Sigma-Aldrich)小心滴加到反应溶液中。将上述溶液放置室温后继续搅拌15小时后,将反应溶液用1L的丙酮溶解并滴加到甲醇中以获得白色沉淀。上述沉淀用甲醇清洗过滤后,在60℃烘箱真空干燥6.0小时获得白色固体。将白色固体溶解到甲醇溶液中(10wt.%),并通氩气以除去溶液中的氧气,并将25%的氢氧化钾的甲醇溶液滴加到上述溶液中,持续搅拌4小时后,将反应溶液溶解在2M的盐酸溶液中,并在2.0M的氨的甲醇溶液中沉淀以获得无规立构聚乙烯醇(a-PVA)。氢核磁共振谱(图3)显示所得化合物为水解完全a-PVA。
(4.2)制备全同立构聚乙烯醇i-PVA:分子量约为14~26kDa,全同规整度m(isotacticity)约为84%
a.聚叔丁基乙烯基醚的制备(poly-tert-butyl vinyl ether,PBVE)。氩气氛围保护下,在250mL圆底烧瓶中将叔丁基乙烯基醚(tert-butyl vinyl ether,t-BVE,Sigma-Aldrich)溶解在100mL的干燥甲苯中以获得2.5%的t-BVE的甲苯溶液。将上述溶液冷却到-78℃后,将0.2mM的三氟化硼乙醚(BF 3·OEt 2,Sigma-Aldrich)小心滴加到已冷却的溶液中,并于2.0小时后补加0.2mM的BF 3·OEt 2。将上述溶液在-78℃继续搅拌3.0小时后,用少量甲醇终止反应。并将反应溶液滴加到快速搅拌的2.0L的甲醇中以获得淡黄色沉淀。上述沉淀用甲醇清洗过滤后,在60℃烘箱真空干燥6.0小时获得淡黄色固体粉末,氢核磁共振谱(图4A)显示所得化合物为PBVE。通过调控三氟化硼乙醚与叔丁基 乙烯基醚的浓度来控制所合成的PBVE的分子量。凝胶渗透色谱(GPC采用四氢呋喃(THF)体系测得,流速为1mL min -1)显示成功合成获得具有不同分子量的PBVE(图5)。
b.干燥溴化氢气体的制备(HBr);在一个100mL的两口烧瓶中,将5.0~30mL的三溴化磷(PBr 3,阿拉丁)逐滴加入到10mL 48%的溴化氢(HBr,Alfa Aesar)水溶液中。所生成的气体依次通过四氯化碳(CCl 4),红磷(P,Alfa Aesar)以及氯化钙(CaCl 2)以得到干燥的HBr气体。
c.全同立构聚乙烯醇(isotactic-PVA,i-PVA)的制备。在氩气氛围保护下,将0.5g的PBVE溶解到15mL干燥甲苯溶液中,并持续通入干燥氩气以除去溶液中的氧气。在0℃下,将b步骤中制备的干燥HBr气体通入到上述无氧的PBVE的甲苯溶液中。约5.0分钟后,淡黄色沉淀生成,持续通入干燥的HBr气体直到没有沉淀继续生成。将上述反应溶液倒入2.0M的200mL的氨的甲醇溶液中。所得沉淀用甲醇清洗过滤后,在60℃烘箱真空干燥6.0小时以获得淡黄色固体粉末。氢核磁共振谱(图4B)显示PBVE水解完全得固体i-PVA。
(5)所合成的PVA控冰效果验证
(5.1)动态光散射DLS实验
两种PVA(a-PVA:分子量约为13~23kDa,间同规整度r(diad syndiotacticity)约为55%(Sigma-Aldrich);i-PVA:分子量约为14~26kDa,全同规整度m(isotacticity)约为84%)在25℃水溶液中的粒径分布采用动态光散射(DLS)实验测量,实验仪器为带有恒温腔室和4mW He-Ne激光(λ=632.8nm)的Nano ZS(Malvern Instruments),其中散射角为173°。首先,分别配制浓度为1.0mg mL -1、4.0mg mL -1、10mg mL -1、20mg mL -1的a-PVA和i-PVA水溶液;将约1.0mL的PVA溶液装入12mm的一次性用聚苯乙烯比色皿进行测量。
动态光散射(DLS)结果显示,相同浓度的a-PVA在水溶液中的分散尺寸远小于i-PVA(图6)。即,相比于a-PVA,i-PVA在水溶液中更倾向于以聚集状态存在。这与MD模拟中a-PVA的分子内氢键数少于i-PVA的分子内氢键数,a-PVA与水分子的分子间氢键数多于i-PVA与水分子的分子间氢键数的结果一致。
(5.2)冰晶重结晶抑制(IRI)活性测量
冰晶重结晶抑制(IRI)活性采用“溅射冷冻法”,将样品溶解分散到DPBS溶液中,将10~30μL上述溶液在1.0m以上的高度滴加到-60℃预冷的干净硅片表面,利用冷热台以10℃min -1的速度缓慢升温到-6℃,并在该温度下退火30min,利用偏光显微镜以及高速摄像机观察记录冰晶的大小,冷热台密封,保证内部的湿度在50%左右。每一个样品重复至少三次,使用Nano Measurer 1.2统计冰晶的尺寸,统计结果的误差为标准偏差。
(5.3)冰晶形貌(DIS)观察和热滞后(TH)测量
冰晶形貌(DIS)观察和热滞后(Thermal Hysteresis,TH)测量采用纳升渗透压仪,首先用酒精灯外焰熔化毛细管,并同时拉伸产生极细孔径毛细管,将毛细管与微量进样器相连。将黏度较高的浸镜油注入微米孔径圆片中,利用微量进样器将溶解了材料的水溶液注入微孔中。通过控制温度,使液滴快速结冰,并缓慢升温以获得单晶冰,以0.01℃的精度缓慢降温,利用配备了高速摄像机的显微镜观察冰晶形貌以及TH测试。
a-PVA(M w 13~23kD)抑制冰晶生长的能力远远优于相应分子量的i-PVA(M w 14~26kD)(图7)。图7A中可见,a-PVA冰晶尺寸明显小于同浓度时i-PVA的冰晶尺寸;图7B中可见,a-PVA相对于DPBS的最大冰晶尺寸(MLGS)在2.0mg mL -1后达到最小,最小约为DPBS最大冰晶尺寸的20%;不同分子量的i-PVA相对于DPBS的MLGS随着浓度的增加有所增加,并在10mg mL -1达到最小,最小仅约为DPBS最大冰晶尺寸的50%,且随着浓度继续增加到20mg mL -,MLGS不再减少且有略微增加。聚合度大于333的i-PVA(M w 14~26kD)在浓度大于30mg mL -1时溶解困难,故因i-PVA溶解度的限制,i-PVA的IRI活性最优为10mg mL -1时50%的DPBS的MLGS;而a-PVA的IRI活性最优为2.0mg mL -1时20%的的DPBS的MLGS。这与MD模拟中,a-PVA比i-PVA更容易在冰水界面处铺展的结果一致,所述更容易铺展的性能,使a-PVA在比i-PVA更低的用量情况下就能实现更好的抑制冰晶生长的效果。
从以上MD模拟以及实际验证实验结果可见,两者的结果一致性好,MD模拟可以准确预测控冰 材料的控冰性能,可有效实现控冰材料分子设计。
采用同样的分子设计方法设计了式(1)-式(9)的化合物,并合成,研究其控冰效果。

B.控冰材料控冰性能评估与筛选

在一个实施方案中,所述冰吸附实验包括以下步骤:
S1:取质量为m2的控冰材料,配制所述控冰材料的水溶液,降温至过冷温度;
S2:将预冷的控温棒置于所述水溶液中诱导冰层在控温棒表面生长,持续搅拌水溶液,以待控冰材料逐渐吸附于冰层表面,保持水溶液、控温棒温度在过冷温度;
S3:测定控冰材料在冰表面的吸附量。

【实施例9】
a-PVA:分子量约为13~23kDa,间同规整度r(diad syndiotacticity)约为55%(Sigma-Aldrich);
i-PVA:分子量约为14~26kDa,全同规整度m(isotacticity)约为84%。
(1)测定两种PVA在冰水界面的铺展性能
采用冰吸附实验测定PVA在冰表面的吸附量,实验装置如图21所示。
a.将a-PVA和i-PVA用FITC Isomer I荧光标记。
b.将FITC标记的不同浓度PVA水溶液(40mL)置于烧杯中,将烧杯置于循环冷槽中并将溶液温度以及控温棒冷却到-0.1℃。
c.将控温棒插入到事先冷却的FITC标记的PVA水溶液中之前,先将控温棒插入液氮中预冷1.0分钟。之后,再快速的将控温棒插入已经预冷的FITC标记的PVA水溶液里,以便在控温棒表面诱导一层极薄的冰层以诱导冰的生长。
d.FITC标记的PVA水溶液在过冷温度-0.1℃下持续磁力搅拌1.0小时,以待PVA逐渐吸附到冰的表面。所有吸附实验保持过冷度以及吸附时间不变以此确保所得冰的表面积在误差允许范围内几乎不变。
e.将形成的冰块从溶液中取出,并用纯水淋洗表面以除去附着在表面的溶液。将冰块融化。
f.PVA在冰表面的吸附量由冰块中溶质PVA的质量比原始溶液中溶质PVA的质量获得,PVA溶液的浓度由紫外可见分光光度法确定,体积由移液枪以及量筒确定。
冰吸附实验显示各浓度的a-PVA和i-PVA吸附量如图22所示,a-PVA在冰表面的吸附量由0.2mg mL -1浓度时的16.3%增加到1.0mg mL -1的28.7%,并且在浓度大于1.0mg mL -1后,a-PVA在冰表面的吸附量达到饱和,饱和时吸附量约为36.5%。i-PVA在浓度小于1.0mg mL -1时冰吸附量为0%~19.3%,低于同浓度下a-PVA在冰表面的吸附量。在低浓度时,两种PVA对冰的吸附皆未达到饱和,i-PVA覆盖的冰表面积低于a-PVA。
当i-PVA浓度≥1.2mg mL -1吸附在冰面上的量高于a-PVA,并在2.0mg mL -1时i-PVA在冰面上的吸附量达到饱和,饱和时的吸附量为56.5%。进一步说明,两种PVA对相同大小的冰表面吸附覆盖达到饱和时,所需i-PVA的量远大于a-PVA。也就是说a-PVA可以更有效的覆盖冰的表面。
(2)冰晶重结晶抑制(IRI)活性测量
冰晶重结晶抑制(IRI)活性采用“溅射冷冻法”,将上述两种PVA分别溶解分散到DPBS溶液中,将10~30μL所述溶液在1.0m以上的高度滴加到-60℃预冷的干净硅片表面,利用冷热台以10℃min -1的速度缓慢升温到-6℃,并在该温度下退火30min,利用偏光显微镜以及高速摄像机观察记录 冰晶的大小,冷热台密封,保证内部的湿度在50%左右。每一个样品重复至少三次,使用Nano Measurer 1.2统计冰晶的尺寸,结果的误差为标准偏差。
结果如图23所示,a-PVA冰晶尺寸明显小于同浓度时i-PVA的冰晶尺寸,说明a-PVA抑制冰晶生长的能力远远优于i-PVA。
根据实施例9的结果可以看出,i-PVA与水的亲和性较a-PVA弱。因此,i-PVA在水溶液以及冰水界面倾向于以聚集状态存在,而a-PVA在水溶液以及冰水界面可以很好的铺展。两种PVA对相同大小的冰表面吸附覆盖达到饱和时,所需i-PVA的量远高于a-PVA。因此,a-PVA与i-PVA相比,是更好的控冰材料,较低浓度即能起到更好的抑制冰晶生长的效果。

根据图24-图28可知,与使用不添加聚乙烯醇的对比实例8以及新鲜未冷冻的卵巢器官相比,应用实例13-15中原始卵泡结构相对完整,间质结构相对完整,细胞胞浆均质、淡染相对较多,胞核皱缩、深染相对较少;血管管壁结构完整,管腔塌陷较少,内皮细胞胞浆均质、淡染相对较多,胞核皱缩、深染相对较少。可见,应用实例13-15组对于卵巢器官的冻存效果更好。
根据图29-图33可知,应用实例16-18的方案和对比实例9以及新鲜未冷冻的卵巢组织相比,窦卵泡结构相对完整,间质结构相对完整,细胞胞浆均质、淡染相对较多,胞核皱缩、深染相对较少,可见本发明的冻存液用于冻存卵巢组织也比现有技术具有更好的效果。

表11和表12的数据表明,本发明多肽用于卵母细胞和胚胎冷冻保存,仅添加少量DMSO(7.5%)就能达到现有商业化冻存液(DMSO含量15%)的卵母细胞和胚胎存活率,并且应用实例32和应用实例34的数据表明,TR多肽用于卵母细胞和胚胎冻存具有更加优异的效果。
【应用例8】人脐带充间质干细胞的冷冻保存
采用上述实施例12及对比例3的冷冻保存液按表13中的方案分别进行人脐带充间质干细胞的冷冻保存。冷冻和解冻方法参见应用例2。

根据表13的结果可以看出,本发明的冷冻保存液不加入DMSO或仅加入少量DMSO(7.5%)时,就可以达到与现有技术中加入10%DMSO的冷冻保存液相当水平的细胞存活率,大大减少了DMSO的用量,减少了DMSO对于细胞的损伤和毒性,可以大大提高冷冻后干细胞的传代稳定性和细胞活性。
【应用例9】卵巢器管和卵巢组织的冷冻保存
采用上述实施例12及对比例3的冷冻平衡液以及冷冻保存液按表14、表15中的方案分别对新生3天内的小鼠完整的卵巢器官和性成熟小鼠的卵巢组织切片进行冷冻保存。卵巢器官和性成熟小鼠的卵巢组织的冷冻和解冻方法参见应用例3。

根据图24、25和图40可知,与使用不添加肽类仿生控冰材料的对比实例相比(图25、图30),采用应用实例37冷冻保存液冻存的卵巢器官解冻后的切片照片中显示卵泡结构相对完整,间质结构相对完整,细胞胞浆均质、淡染相对较多,胞核皱缩、深染相对较少;血管管壁结构完整,管腔塌陷较少,内皮细胞胞浆均质、淡染相对较多,胞核皱缩、深染相对较少。可见,应用实例37对于卵巢器官的冻存效果更好。
根据图29、图30和图41可知,应用实例38的方案和对比实例22新鲜未冷冻的成年小鼠卵巢组织相比,生长期卵泡及窦卵泡结构相对完整,可见本发明的冻存液用于冻存卵巢组织也比现有技术具有更好的效果。
由此可见,本发明以肽类仿生控冰材料为主要成分制备的冷冻保存液可以同时适用于卵母细胞、胚胎、干细胞、生殖器官和组织的冷冻保存,均可达到良好的细胞存活率和生物活性。
