Preparation and application of biological camouflage targeted nano drug delivery system for treating ischemic stroke
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical preparations, and relates to preparation and application of a biological camouflage targeted nano drug delivery system for treating ischemic stroke.
Background
Cerebrovascular disease is also called stroke, and is a disease with cerebral function defect caused by pathological changes of cerebral vessels due to various etiological factors. About 80% of clinical cerebral apoplexy belongs to ischemic stroke, mainly because of hardening of cerebral artery blood vessel, stenosis gradually develops into obstruction; the embolus in the heart can be blocked when flowing along blood vessels in the brain after falling off, so that the blood supply of the brain is interrupted, and the brain tissue is anoxic or necrotic. At present, there are many methods for clinically treating ischemic stroke, such as drug therapy for resisting platelet aggregation, promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis, improving cerebral circulation, scavenging oxygen free radicals, improving cerebral metabolism, reducing intracranial pressure by using a dehydrating agent, and the like, however, these drugs have good effects on prevention and protection of ischemic stroke, but the treatment effect on ischemic stroke diseases is not satisfactory, so that the clinical significance is still provided for drug therapy research on ischemic stroke. Ginkgolide B (Ginkgolide B, GB) belongs to a first-line medicine for treating cerebral apoplexy, is a strong antagonist of Platelet Activating Factor (PAF), has obvious curative effect on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, is considered to be a natural PAF receptor antagonist with the most clinical application prospect at present, and has the effects of scavenging oxygen free radicals, inhibiting lipid peroxidation and the like.
GB is an antagonist of PAF (the strongest platelet aggregation inducer is found so far), however, GB is extremely small in water solubility and greatly limited in clinical use, in order to enable GB to have wider application in the aspect of treating cerebral apoplexy, GB is loaded in recombinant high-density lipoprotein, encapsulation of drugs with low solubility is achieved so as to be beneficial to the drugs to reach lesion sites to exert curative effects better, and the recombinant high-density lipoprotein is an endogenous substance and can be completely biodegraded without causing immune response and the like, GB can well pass through a blood brain barrier after being prepared into nanoparticles, and has the effects of reducing cholesterol of peripheral blood vessels of brain, reducing platelet aggregation and protecting neurons. Although the recombinant high-density lipoprotein can reduce the recognition and clearance of reticuloendothelial tissues and has a long half-life in vivo, the recombinant high-density lipoprotein is inevitably phagocytized by immune cells as a foreign body, so that the development of a long-acting carrier with good biocompatibility and targeting property is important for the research of the present day.
Researches in recent years show that the platelet membrane wrapped nanoparticles can reduce phagocytosis of macrophages, more importantly, the platelet membrane can be selectively combined with damaged blood vessels in a human body and enhance adhesion to pathogens, and platelets at the focal part of ischemic stroke are activated and adhered to subendothelial tissues of the damaged blood vessels, so that the platelet membrane wrapped nanoparticles can directionally reach the damaged part of brain tissues, improve biocompatibility of the nanoparticles, avoid phagocytosis by a reticuloendothelial system, and achieve the purpose of long circulation.
Although the platelet membrane coated nanoparticles have certain targeting property and can actively target the damaged part of the tissue, the targeting efficiency is limited. In order to achieve better therapeutic effect, the drug for treating ischemic stroke is delivered to a target site, and the surface of the carrier needs to be subjected to targeted modification. The research shows that the Cerebral Ischemia Targeting Peptide (CITP) is screened from a cerebral ischemia animal model with Middle Cerebral Artery (MCA) blockage, and can be detected to be positioned in apoptotic neuron cells at a cerebral ischemia part and generally combined with damaged neuron cells with recoverability. Therefore, after the polypeptide is combined with a medicament for treating ischemic stroke, the concentration of the medicament in a diseased tissue area can be improved, and the occurrence of side effects can be reduced.
In summary, the patent uses the recombinant high-density lipoprotein coated GB as a drug-loaded core, a platelet membrane and a CITP (amino acid sequence: CLEVSRKNC) modified on the surface of the platelet membrane as a bionic shell to construct a novel nanoparticle for treating ischemic stroke, and the biological camouflage targeted nano drug delivery system can solve the problems: (1) the defect of low bioavailability of a fat-soluble medicament GB after direct intravenous injection administration is overcome, and the GB is wrapped in the recombinant high-density lipoprotein to better play the therapeutic effect of the medicament; (2) the platelet membrane is used as a drug carrier, has incomparable biocompatibility, degradability and long circulation capability compared with other drug carriers, can improve targeting property and better repair focal parts of cerebral ischemia by using the platelet membrane as the drug carrier, avoids being cleared by an immune system, and improves the long circulation effect of the nano preparation in vivo.

table 2 Process conditions used to prepare the Biocamouflage targeted nano-drug delivery systems of examples 9-12
Secondly, the performance characterization of the biological camouflage targeting nano drug delivery system:
A. characterization of recombinant high density lipoprotein/ginkgolide B (rHDL/GB) nanoparticles:
(1) particle size and potential measurement: the particle size and Zeta potential of the prepared rHDL/GB nanoparticles are measured by a laser particle size analyzer, the particle size of the rHDL/GB nanoparticles can be seen from an attached drawing 2 to be about 80nm, the potential size is about-4 mv, the morphology of the nanoparticles is observed by a Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and a picture A in the attached drawing 1 is photographed, and therefore the particle size of the nanoparticles can be proved to meet the requirement of being capable of entering a blood brain barrier.
(2) And (3) determining the encapsulation efficiency of the ginkgolide B: transferring 1ml of the rHDL/GB nanoparticles prepared into a 10ml volumetric flask with methanol, shaking up, measuring and recording peak areas of samples by an HPLC method according to certain chromatographic conditions, and measuring the GB content in the solution by substituting a GB standard curve to obtain the total drug dosage M1 in the preparation; then filtering the prepared nanoparticles by a 0.45-micron polycarbonate filter membrane to remove free drugs, then transferring 1mL of the filtrate, using methanol to fix the volume of the filtrate in a 10-mL volumetric flask, shaking up to obtain the drug quantity M2 wrapped in the carrier, and calculating the drug Encapsulation Efficiency (EE) by the following formula:
according to the data obtained by the operation, the encapsulation rate of the nanoparticles can be calculated to be about 88 percent, so that the encapsulation rate of the nanoparticles can meet the requirement of the administration dosage.
CITP-PEG-SA/platelet membrane/recombinant high density lipoprotein/ginkgolide B (CITP-PEG-SA/PM/rHDL/GB)
Characterization of the nanoparticles:
(1) particle size and potential measurement: the particle size and Zeta potential of the prepared CITP-PEG-SA/PM/rHDL/GB nanoparticles are measured by a laser particle size analyzer, and the particle size and the potential of the CITP-PEG-SA/PM/rHDL/GB nanoparticles are about 100nm and about-10 mv in figure 2, so that the CITP-PEG-SA/PM/rHDL/GB nanoparticles have obvious difference in comparison with the rHDL/GB nanoparticles in figure 2.
(2) Transmission electron microscopy characterization: to further prove that the nanoparticle-coated modified film was observed by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and photographed as A, B, C in fig. 1, the nanoparticle-coated modified film is clearly shown in the three figures.
(3) Characterization of the streaming dual uptake: taking a proper amount of CITP-PEG-SA/PM/rHDL and CITP-PEG-SA/DiI-PM/Coumarin-6-rHDL suspension with double fluorescence labels to detect in a flow cytometer, wherein the inner core of the nanoparticle marked by the Coumarin-6 is green fluorescence, the cell membrane marked by the DII is red fluorescence, the combination of the DiI-PM and the Coumarin-6-rHDL can be identified by the flow cytometer, and the fluorescent qualitative analysis is carried out on the nanoparticle according to the intensity of fluorescein carried by the nanoparticle.
Examining the degree of cell membrane adsorption on the nanoparticles, as shown in fig. 3, it can be seen that the nanoparticles labeled by double fluorescence are distinguished from the particles not labeled by carried double fluorescence, and are mainly distributed in the upper right region of the flow density diagram, indicating that a vast proportion of the complexes are labeled by double fluorescence, and further verifying that the nanoparticles labeled by double fluorescence have green fluorescence and red fluorescence at the same time, thereby showing that the nanoparticles are wrapped by the modified membrane.
(4) Characterization of laser confocal positioning: the CITP-PEG-SA/DiI-PM/Coumarin-6-rHDL nanoparticle with double fluorescence labels is placed in a confocal dish for shooting, as shown in figure 4, the nanoparticle with double fluorescence labels has green fluorescence and red fluorescence at the same time, and therefore, the modified film is further proved to be wrapped by the nanoparticle.
C. The biological camouflage nano drug delivery system targets the cerebral ischemia area of a model rat:
the ginkgolide B marked with DIR is wrapped in a nanoparticle carrier to investigate the targeting property of the nanoparticles at the cerebral ischemia part, and the specific preparation method is the same as the above. The prepared GB, rHDL/GB, PM/rHDL/GB, CITP-PEG-SA/PM/rHDL/GB with fluorescence markers are injected into a modeled SD male rat through tail vein, the rat at 6h and 24h after administration is directly decapitated and killed, the brain of the rat is taken out and placed in a living body imaging instrument, the rat is subjected to shooting and investigation, the experimental result is shown in figure 5, the fluorescence distribution is stronger than 24h when the drug is administered for 6h, and the targeting of a final preparation group is better than that of other control groups, so that the novel biological camouflage nano drug delivery system can well pass through the blood brain barrier and can effectively improve the targeting of the drug at a focus part.
D. The biological camouflage nano drug delivery system has the improvement effect on cerebral infarction of model rats:
calculating cerebral infarction area by adopting a 2, 3, 5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining method, randomly grouping rats subjected to surgery modeling, setting different administration control groups which are respectively a Sham surgery group (Sham), a model group (MCAO), a carrier group (Vehicle), GB, rHDL/GB, PM/rHDL/GB, CITP-PEG-SA/PM/rHDL/GB, performing coronary section after administration for 24 hours at visual crossover and about 2mm before and after visual crossover, rapidly placing brain slices into phosphate buffer solution containing 1% of TTC after each brain slice is cut into 5 slices, separating a white area (infarct area) and a non-white area (normal area) by using ophthalmological forceps in constant-temperature water bath at 37 ℃, wherein the normal brain tissue is red, the infarct tissue is not colored, and calculating the percentage of infarct area. The experimental results are shown in figures 6 and 7, and it can be seen from the figures that the cerebral infarction area of the treatment group is smaller than that of the model group, which shows that the medicine has better treatment effect and can obviously improve cerebral infarction symptoms.
