Description

Composition and method for producing linear polymer by light-operated RAFT polymerization in living cells
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of cell biology, in particular to a composition and a method for generating a linear polymer by light-operated RAFT polymerization in living cells.
Background
Because of the high complexity of the intracellular chemistry and the sensitivity of living cells to external stimuli, many organic synthetic reactions are difficult to perform within cells without damaging the cells, and thus the number of artificial chemical reactions that can be performed within living cells is currently known to be limited. However, the synthesis of the non-natural compound in living cells by an artificial method has great development potential in the field of biological medicine, and is an important research field in biological research all the time, and the purposes of synthesis of artificial organelles, regulation of cell structures (such as viscosity and cytoskeletal structures) and even artificial regulation of cell behaviors are expected to be realized by artificially synthesizing the non-natural compound in cells.
With the rapid development of bio-orthogonal chemistry, an increasing number of unnatural chemical reactions have been found to be applicable in living cells as well as biological tissues, and have been widely used in research in the biomedical field. Common bio-orthogonal chemical reactions mainly include cycloaddition reactions between azide-cyclic alkynes, electron-withdrawing Diels Alder reactions between tetrazine-olefins, nucleophilic reactions between aldehydes/ketones-hydroxylamine/hydrazines, diels Alder reactions between conjugated dienes and olefins, and the like. The reactants that are generally reacted in cells are often modified with natural polymers and small organic molecules, and typical polymer synthesis achieved in cells is rarely performed.
It is found that intracellular polymerization can significantly change cell properties such as cell cycle, cytoskeletal structure and cell motility, etc., and that fluorescent polymers synthesized in situ in cells can be used for long-term tracking of specific cells and can be applied to disease diagnosis and treatment due to the characteristic of slow metabolism of polymers, meanwhile, the invention realizes in-situ construction of polymer nanoparticles in cells through hydrophilic and hydrophobic changes generated during polymerization, and artificially introduces polymer nanostructures in living cells.
However, due to the high reactivity of the radical reaction itself, the produced polymer mostly has a relatively wide molecular weight distribution (the reaction is not controllable), and due to the complex chemical environment in the cell, the high-reactivity radical intermediate is easy to react with active groups such as amino groups, mercapto groups and the like to undergo chain transfer, so that the molecular weight of the obtained polymer is relatively small. Compared with the traditional free radical polymerization, the novel light-operated reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization has stronger time and space controllability and more stable active intermediate due to the unique polymerization reaction mechanism, so that the synthesis of the polymer with higher molecular weight can be realized in a relatively complex reaction system in a controllable manner (the molecular weight distribution is narrower). Meanwhile, the initiation efficiency of RAFT polymerization is obviously higher than that of the traditional free radical polymerization, so that the use amount of monomers and an initiator can be greatly reduced while the molecular weight of the generated polymer is ensured, and the toxicity of a polymerization system on cells and organisms is reduced.

in order to ensure polymerization efficiency and polymer production, the amounts of DMA and BiotinMA were controlled to be 5mM and 1mM, respectively, at the maximum allowable doses for toxicity. Rafcta and photoinitiator eosin Y were prepared at 10:1 molar ratio, RAFTCTA concentration of 0.01-0.1mM, to ensure formation of a typical linear polymer.
(2) Light is used as a stimulation signal, so that the time/space controllability is higher, and the intracellular polymerization reaction is realized through illumination.
Cells that had ingested the composition were washed 3 times with PBS to remove surface-adherent reactants and 1mL fresh DMEM medium was added to each well, with a 470nm LED blue light source (power: 260 mW/cm) 2 ) The polymerization reaction is realized by vertically irradiating for 10min from the lower part of the culture plate, the damage to cells by the light source of the wave band is small, and experiments prove that the polymerization reaction of the cells cannot be initiated by the light source of 405nm and the light source of 530 nm.
Example 1: synthesis step of RAFT chain transfer agent 2- (butylthiocarbonylthio thio) propanoic acid
As shown in FIG. 2, 50mL of a THF solution containing 16.0g of n-butanol was added dropwise to a 150mL THF suspension containing 9.0g of KOH over 30min, stirred at room temperature for 30min, and then 50mL of a THF solution containing 17.0g of CS was added dropwise 2 Stirring at room temperature for 24h, concentrating under reduced pressure to 50mL, dropwise adding 50mL of THF solution containing 22.4g of n-propyl ammonium bromide into the concentrated solution under stirring, stirring at room temperature for 24h, removing the solvent under reduced pressure to obtain a target crude product, and purifying by silica gel column chromatography to obtain a bright yellow crystalline target product.
Example 2: synthesis step of biotin modified acrylate monomer BiotinMA
As shown in FIG. 4, 1.0g of biotin, 1.5g of poly (ethylene glycol) methacrylate (Mn=500 Da), 0.78. 0.78g N- (3-dimethylaminopropyl) -N' -ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride, 0.05g of 4- (dimethylamino) pyridine were dissolved together in 50mL of DMF, stirred at room temperature for 24 hours, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the resulting solid was redissolved in dichloromethane with 5% NaHCO respectively 3 Washing 1% hydrochloric acid and saturated saline for 3 times respectively, drying with anhydrous sodium sulfate, removing dichloromethane under reduced pressure to obtain a target crude product, and purifying by silica gel column chromatography to obtain a white viscous liquid target product.
Example 3: characterization of cell Activity by CCK-8 assay
In the CCK-8 test, heLa cells were first treated at 1X10 4 Is inoculated in 96-hole cell culture plate and incubated for 18h at constant temperature of 37 ℃ and 4% carbon dioxide to ensure cell adhesionA wall; then the cells are subjected to different concentrations of drug administration or irradiation (5-20 min,260 mW/cm) 2 ) Waiting for treatment, and continuing constant-temperature incubation for 24 hours; after 24h, the original culture medium is sucked out, the cells are washed 3 times by PBS, 100 mu L of diluted CCK-8 solution (the ratio of the CCK-8 solution to the culture medium is 1:10) is added into each hole, after incubation for 4h at constant temperature, the ultraviolet absorption at 450nm position in each hole is detected by an enzyme-labeling instrument, and the absorbance of the treated cells is compared with that of untreated cells to obtain the cell activity value.
In the above method, it was confirmed by CCK-8 test that 10min light and composition hardly caused toxicity to living cells in the working concentration range, as shown in FIGS. 6-10.
Example 4: in vitro simulation of polymerization reactions occurring within cells
The concentration of each component of the composition in the cell is detected by ultraviolet-visible spectrum, high performance liquid chromatography and other methods, the optimal administration concentration is obtained by in vitro simulation optimization, and the polymer extracted from the cell is compared with the polymer obtained by in vitro simulation, so that the structural property of the polymer obtained in the cell is verified. The polymer synthesized by intracellular polymerization has higher molecular weight and narrower molecular weight distribution range, and the controlled polymerization in the cell is successfully realized.
The absorption spectrum of the cell lysate was quantitatively analyzed by uv-vis absorption spectrum and compared with the standard of the corresponding compound according to the above method to obtain the concentrations of the respective components of the composition taken into the cells, the concentrations of which are shown in table 1.
The polymerized cells are lysed by RIPA cell lysate, and the generated polymer containing biotin unit structure is extracted by using the selective interaction of biotin and streptavidine, the extraction and separation of the generated polymer in cells are realized, the molecular weight and molecular weight distribution are further characterized by GPC, and the composition structure is analyzed by NMR.
Polymerization reactions occurring in cells can be simulated in vitro by polymerizing the measured concentrations of the components of the intracellular composition in vitro with PBS as a solvent, and by comparing with the extracted polymer, reaction parameters such as polymer conversion can be simulated, and further the composition, relative molecular mass, and molecular weight distribution of the intracellular polymer produced can be confirmed. As shown in Table 2, the polymer extracted from the cell has similar structure property to the polymer generated by in vitro simulation, has higher molecular weight and narrower molecular weight distribution, and belongs to a high molecular product generated by typical controllable polymerization.

By passing through 1 HNMR testing shows that the obtained polymer is DMA-BiotinMA copolymer, and from nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum, the polymer structure contains two monomers (as shown in fig. 11); it can be seen from GPC that the resulting polymer has a relatively large molecular weight (Mn=19.6 kDa) and a relatively narrow molecular weight distribution
Figure BDA0002435885080000102
(as shown in fig. 12). The reaction conversion was monitored by in vitro simulation in PBS at the intracellular reactant concentration (10 min conversion was 27.5% as shown in fig. 13), and the polymer obtained by in vitro polymerization was found to be similar in molecular structure, molecular weight and molecular weight distribution to the polymer obtained by in vitro simulation (as shown in fig. 14, 15 and table 2), indicating that the polymer obtained by in vitro polymerization was the desired controlled RAFT polymer.

Figure BDA0002435885080000101
As shown in FIG. 17, the polymer obtained in example 6 has a significantly higher molecular weight than that of example 5, mainly because the monomer concentration in example 6 is the same as that in example 5, but RAFTCTA is used in an amount of only half thereof, so that the number of monomers polymerized per polymer chain is larger and the molecular weight is larger; and the molecular weight distribution of the polymer obtained in example 6Similar to example 5, it is demonstrated that the polymerization reaction still belongs to controlled polymerization.

Figure BDA0002435885080000111
(as shown in FIG. 19), the polymer obtained in example 7 has a higher molecular weight than those obtained in examples 5 and 6; however, the molecular weight distribution of the resulting polymer was similar to examples 5 and 6, indicating that the polymerization still belongs to controlled polymerization.
