摘要:


文题释义:

细胞膜仿生技术:通过将不同细胞膜包被于纳米粒表面赋予纳米粒新的生物学功能。纳米粒被细胞膜仿生修饰后,获得了细胞膜表面丰富的蛋白质并保留了纳米粒的高载药能力,延长了体内循环时间,使纳米粒具有逃避免疫系统、跨越各种生理屏障的能力。

A-D-A结构有机小分子材料:基于受体-供体-受体结构的有机小分子,具有优异的分子内电荷转移能力,在近红外区域具有强吸收峰,是一种理想的光热材料。


背景:光热疗法是一种新兴的肿瘤治疗手段,利用光热剂将光能转化为热能来实现肿瘤的无创消融。光热疗法与纳米技术的兴起为乳腺癌的治疗开辟了新视角。

目的:制备一种乳腺癌细胞膜修饰的新型近红外仿生纳米探针,探究其体外近红外荧光/超声显像效果,观察其体外对同源肿瘤细胞的靶向能力和光热治疗效果。
方法:以具有A-D-A结构的有机小分子ITIC-4CI作为光热剂、聚乳酸/羟基乙酸共聚物为纳米载体、小鼠乳腺癌细胞4T1细胞膜为纳米颗粒表面修饰剂,并核心负载全氟己烷,采用双步乳化法与超声法制备新型近红外仿生纳米探针(4T1m/ITIC-4CI/PFH),对纳米探针进行基本表征,并验证其对同源肿瘤细胞的靶向性;探究纳米探针的光热性能及光热稳定性,观察激光照射下纳米探针的近红外荧光/超声成像效果;采用CCK-8法和钙黄绿素/碘化丙啶染色法评估纳米探针的光热治疗效果。

结果与结论:①制备的纳米探针4T1m/ITIC-4CI/PFH尺寸均一、稳定性好,平均粒径为(92.7±2.3) nm,与乳腺癌4T1细胞膜具有相似的蛋白图谱;体外细胞摄取实验证实,该纳米探针可靶向同源乳腺癌4T1细胞;②纳米探针4T1m/ITIC-4CI/PFH具有红移吸收光谱和延伸到近红外Ⅱ区的尾部发射,在激光辐照下可发出明亮的近红外Ⅱ区荧光信号;③经激光照射,纳米探针4T1m/ITIC-4CI/PFH可相变为微气泡,增强超声显像;CCK-8和钙黄绿色/碘化丙啶染色结果显示,纳米探针4T1m/ITIC-4CI/PFH对乳腺癌4T1细胞具有明显的光热杀伤效果;④结果表明,纳米探针4T1m/ITIC-4CI/PFH具有靶向同源肿瘤的能力,并可增强近红外Ⅱ区波段荧光/超声显像和光热疗法疗效。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Photothermal therapy is a novel tumor treatment strategy that uses photothermal agents to transform light energy into heat energy to accomplish non-invasive tumor ablation. The rise of photothermal therapy and nanotechnology has provided a new perspective on breast cancer treatment.
OBJECTIVE: To prepare a new type of near-infrared biomimetic nanoprobe that has been modified by breast cancer cell membrane, to investigate the effect of near-infrared fluorescence/ultrasound imaging in vitro, and to observe its targeting ability and photothermal therapy effect on homologous tumor cells in vitro.
METHODS: Organic small molecule ITIC-4CI with A-D-A structure was used as photothermal agents; polylactic acid/glycolic acid copolymer as nanocarrier; 4T1 cell membrane of mouse breast cancer cells as a surface modifier of nanoparticles; perfluorohexane (PFH) was loaded. A novel near-infrared biomimetic nanoprobe (4T1m/ITIC-4CI/PFH) was prepared by the double emulsion evaporation method and sonication method. The basic characterization of the nanoprobe and the homologous targeting ability were detected. The photothermal properties and photothermal stability of the probe were investigated, and the near-infrared fluorescence/ultrasound imaging effect of the probe under laser irradiation was observed. The CCK-8 assay and calcein/propidium iodide staining were used to assess the efficacy of photothermal therapy.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The prepared 4T1m/ITIC-4CI/PFH nanoprobes had uniform size, high stability, and an average particle size of (92.7±2.3) nm. The probe’s protein composition was identical to that of the 4T1 cell membrane. The nanoprobe’s ability to target homologous 4T1 cells was validated by an in vitro cell uptake assay. (2) The nanoprobe had a red-shift absorption spectrum and tail emission extending to the near-infrared-II, which emitted a bright near-infrared-II fluorescence signal under laser irradiation. (3) After laser irradiation, the nanoprobe 4T1m/ITIC-4CI/PFH could be turned into microbubbles and enhanced ultrasound imaging. The results of CCK-8 assay and calcein/propidium iodide staining showed that the nanoprobe 4T1m/ITIC-4CI/PFH had an obvious photothermal killing effect on 4T1 cells. (4) The results show that the nanoprobe 4T1m/ITIC-4CI/PFH has the ability to target homologous tumors and enhance near-infrared-II fluorescence imaging/ultrasound imaging and photothermal therapy effects.
