Description

Construction of targeted photodynamic nanoprobe based on up-conversion nanoparticles and ultrathin silicon dioxide layer
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of materials and analytical chemistry, in particular to a novel method for realizing effective photodynamic therapy by using folic acid-polyethylene glycol modified ultrathin silica-coated upconversion nanoparticles as a photosensitizer carrier.
Background
As a clinically approved cancer treatment method, photodynamic therapy employs light-excited Photosensitizer (PS) to generate active oxygen, thereby irreversibly damaging tumor cells. Photodynamic therapy can control light to irradiate specific tumor parts, and reduce potential toxic and side effects on normal tissues. However, it still faces challenges such as limited penetration depth of uv-visible light, low reactive oxygen species generation efficiency, short half-life of reactive oxygen species and limited range of action. The absorption and scattering of near infrared light by cells and tissues are small, so that the near infrared light has more excellent biological tissue penetrating capability and small autofluorescence background. Therefore, using near infrared light as a light source for photodynamic therapy will increase its penetration depth and sensitivity. Based on a two-photon or multi-photon mechanism, the upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) can convert continuous near-infrared excitation light into ultraviolet-visible region fluorescence with adjustable wavelength, and then based on luminescence resonance energyThe quantum transfer mechanism excites the PS to realize near infrared light-excited photodynamic therapy. UCNPs have gained widespread attention as emerging photosensitizer carriers. Currently, three methods are generally adopted to load PS on UCNPs, namely silica loading, non-covalent bond physical adsorption and covalent bond coupling. Silicon dioxide (SiO)2) The silicon layer has the advantages of low toxicity, easy functionalization, high loading capacity and the like, and SiO grows on the surface of UCNPs2The silicon layer can meet the requirements of different PS molecular loads. However, UCNPs-based PDT has problems such as relatively low quantum yield of UCNPs, limited efficiency of luminescence resonance energy transfer, and easy aggregation of photosensitizers. The luminescence resonance energy transfer efficiency depends on the distance between the energy donor and acceptor, and the effective energy transfer usually occurs within 10nm of both. Usually, SiO2The silicon layer is controlled to be in the range of 20-100nm, so that only PS molecules near the surface of UCNPs are in an effective energy transfer range, and are in an excitable state. Whereas the fluorescence of UCNPs with a diameter of less than 10nm is susceptible to quenching by environmental influences.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the prior art, the inventors believe that the SiO on the surface of UCNPs is controlled2The thickness of the silicon layer is an effective measure for improving the transfer of the luminescence resonance energy between the UCNPs and the PS. The inventors propose to use thin SiO2Silicon layer wrapped UCNPs, i.e. UCNPs @ SiO2As an effective PS carrier to achieve effective PDT.
Methylene Blue (MB) can generate a large amount of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), has high photodynamic efficiency, and MB easily passes through cell membranes to target mitochondria, so that photodynamic therapy involving MB can induce mitochondrial-dependent apoptosis in cancer cells. However, MB monomers are easily aggregated to form a dimer, an electron transfer reaction is easily generated instead of energy transfer with oxygen, and the Uv absorption peak thereof becomes 610nm, which is not spectrally matched with the emission wavelength (λ em ═ 650nm) of UCNPs, decreasing the photodynamic therapy effect. Thus, the synthesis of monodisperse UCNPs @ SiO2the/MB can improve the photodynamic therapy effect.
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a good hydrophilic modifier and can improve UCNPs @ SiO2The colloidal stability of (A), prevention of cell and serumThe nonspecific combination between the proteins prolongs the blood circulation time and improves the tumor targeted curative effect. Furthermore, targeting by selectively binding to the surface of cancer cells using specific ligands during drug delivery is of great interest for cancer therapy. Folate (FA), a 441Da vitamin, binds with high affinity to folate receptor alpha (FR-alpha) overexpressed on the surface of cancer cells. Thus, modification of the drug carrier with PEG and FA will enhance biocompatibility and improve receptor-mediated endocytosis.
Therefore, one of the objects of the present invention is to provide a UCNPs @ SiO2the/MB/PEG-FA nanoprobe is characterized in that UCNPs @ SiO is adopted through receptor-mediated endocytosis2the/MB @ PEG-FA nanoprobe is selectively introduced into the cytoplasm of cancer cells. When excited by Near Infrared (NIR) light, the energy transfer distance between UCNPs (energy donors) and MB (energy acceptors) is short and has good spectral matching, so that efficient luminescence resonance energy transfer occurs, active oxygen is generated, and mitochondrial-mediated cancer cell apoptosis is induced.

FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of the preparation of UCNPs @ SiO2And synthesizing and characterizing the/MB @ PEG-FA nanoprobe. Two light emitting ions Ho3+And Tm3+The doped up-converting nanoparticles have strong red fluorescence. The red emission is due to5F5And1G4excited state to5I8And3F4transition of the ground state (fig. 1 (a)). Synthetic UCNPs and UCNPs @ SiO, as shown in FIGS. 1(b-d)2Showing high homogeneity and pure hexagonal phase. Measured by TEM, SiO2The thickness is about 5-7.5 nm. Uv-Vis analysis and Zeta potential analysis prove that MB is loaded on SiO in the silicification process2In the silicon layer. Uv-Vis analysis demonstrated that PEG-FA was coated on UCNPs @ SiO by amidation reaction2the/MB nanometer probe is arranged on the surface of the probe so as to improve the dispersibility and the targeting property of the probe. The introduction of PEG-FA changed the zeta potential value from negative (-30.6) to positive (23.4) and allowed UCNPs @ SiO2the/MB @ PEG-FA nanoprobe is monodisperse, so that the capability of entering cells is enhanced.
FIG. 2 is a graph showing the UCNPs @ SiO prepared by evaluation2The ability of the/MB @ PEG-FA nanoprobe to generate ROS. Good spectral matching and shortened energy transfer distance ensure effective LRET efficiency. UCNPs @ SiO2The luminescence intensity at 650nm was reduced by 90% for excitation of MB to generate ROS (fig. 2 (a)). Detection of UCNPs @ SiO by ABDA fluorescence method2The efficiency of the/MB @ PEG-FA nanoprobe in generating ROSs. As shown in FIG. 2(b), when ABDA was mixed with the nanoprobes under 980nm laser irradiation, the fluorescence intensity gradually decreased. After 65 minutes of irradiation, 70% of the fluorescence of the ABDA was quenched. In contrast, UCNPs @ SiO2The @ PEG-FA and MB molecules had no effect on the fluorescence intensity of ABDA after NIR irradiation. And UCNPs @ SiO2the/MB @ PEG-FA also had no effect on the fluorescence intensity of ABDA in the absence of NIR irradiation. Indicating UCNPs @ SiO2the/MB @ PEG-FA and NIR are two indispensable conditions for the production of ROSs. Shows that after UCNPs are excited by NIR, luminescence resonance energy transfer to SiO occurs2MB molecules in the silicon layer are excited to generate ROSs.
