Description

Fused biomaterial both for diagnosing and treating diseases

According to the present invention, a fusion protein in which a cell-penetrating peptide and a portion of a cell membrane protein are fused is bound to a cell membrane of a cell having strong binding ability to a specific disease, for example, atherosclerosis or a tumor, while being modified with a fluorescent substance, and thus the cell is a lesion site. The present invention relates to a fusion biomaterial for simultaneous diagnosis or treatment, which enables targeting of specific lesion sites, molecular imaging, and treatment in vivo.

Atherosclerosis is a risk factor such as hyperlipidemia, diabetes, hypertension, and lifestyle changes that stimulate endothelial cells and deposit vascular fat to form atherosclerotic plaques. Thickening of blood vessel walls (Nicholls, 2009, Curr Opin Lipidol , 20, 491-496). In particular, if the coronary artery is blocked by arteriosclerosis, it may cause myocardial infarction and heart failure. To date, the diagnosis of atherosclerosis remains in an indirect method of measuring the level of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, or the symptoms appear after the disease has progressed to a large extent, such as myocardial infarction. Is just stopping. Therefore, attention has recently been focused on the early and accurate diagnosis of atherosclerosis by non-invasive methods (Glaudemans et. al ., 2010, Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging , 37, 2381-2397). The problem is to find a molecule that is expressed or activated at the site of atherosclerotic lesion, and to find a substance such as a ligand or an antibody that specifically binds to the atherosclerotic lesion and introduce a commercially available contrast agent to diagnose it. The application of materials reacting with is very low (Jaffer et. al ., 2007, Circulation , 116, 1052-1061).

The ongoing development of molecular imaging diagnostics reveals a near-infrared fluorescent probe (Deguchi) that uses specific peptide sequences that serve as substrates for these proteases to image the activity of some proteases in atherosclerotic lesions. et al ., 2006, Circulation , 114, 55-62; Jaffer et al., 2007, Circulation , 115, 2292-2298), the My Ilo peroxy secreted by macrophages in atherosclerotic lesions dehydratase (myeloperoxidase) enzyme activity detected MR molecular imaging (Chen et al ., 2004, Magn Reson Med , 52, 1021-1028), MRI molecular imaging using T1 contrast media (Saam et al. al ., 2005, Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol , 25, 234-239), PET / CT arteriosclerosis molecular imaging (Davies et al ., 2005, Stroke , 36: 2642-2647, etc., but current paradigm-specific molecular and imaging techniques have limitations, and thus new paradigm techniques are needed.

Recently, monocytes were isolated at the animal model level, and 111- indium oxine was added to obtain SPECT-CT images (Kircher et. al., 2008, Circulation, 117 , 388-395), studies to image macrophages (macrophage) with iodine or a gold nanoparticle contrast agent (Hyafil et al ., 2007, Nat Med , 13, 636-641), but these nanoparticles are released from the cells and attached to all parts of the body is known as a big limitation of the diagnosis.

EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the structure of this invention is demonstrated concretely.

The present invention aims to develop a biopin that can increase the physical binding between cells rather than a method of overexpressing a specific gene that is difficult to predict biological changes in cells and has side effects.

In general, therapeutic effects may vary depending on how effectively the delivered cells initially attach to target organs and tissues in cell delivery and cell therapy techniques. Various attempts to efficiently deliver delivery cells to target tissues using methods of overexpressing specific genes or polymeric compounds are disproving. Therefore, unlike the conventional genetic engineering method or cell transfer technology using polymers, the development of biopin to insert peptide-like pins into delivery cells will suggest the possibility as a material for cell delivery and cell therapy and nano-bio applications using them. .

Accordingly, the present invention provides a fusion protein in which at least one cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) is bound to a cell membrane protein; And

The present invention relates to a fusion biomaterial comprising monocytes or tumor-friendly cells bound to the fusion protein.

The fusion protein has a structure in which one or more cell penetrating peptides are bound to a portion of the cell membrane protein, and more specifically, the cell penetrating peptide may be bound to one or both ends of the cell membrane protein.

In particular, the two components used in the biopin consists of a specific membrane protein and a cell penetrating peptide of the mammalian cell, the cell penetrating peptide wherein the specific membrane protein of the cell is bound to one end of the membrane protein, It is to form a fin structure forming the end. More specifically, the specific membrane protein of the cell is placed in the center, and the cell penetrating peptide is fused at the inner part of its intracellular site and the extracellular site, and the outer part of the cell. The fusion protein prepared by fusion of fluorescent material, contrast agent, nanodevice, etc. was named biopin. When the bioffin is delivered to the target cell, the cell penetrating peptide, which is located in the cell membrane and is fused to the inner part of the cell, is directed toward the inside of the cell, and the fluorescent substance, contrast agent, and nanodevice are exposed to the outside of the cell to recognize the target cell or tissue. (See FIG. 1, top drawing). The target cell may mainly select a cell having strong binding ability to a lesion site of a specific disease, for example, monocytes, tumor-friendly cells, and the like. When the bioffin is bound to the cell membrane, the target cell is recognized when the lesion is delivered to the cell or tissue, the binding force with the cells of the lesion site is increased (see Fig. 1, lower figure). Thus, no tissue specific binding component exhibiting target orientation is required separately.

As used herein, the term "tumor affinity cell" refers to a cell having a strong affinity for tumor cells, for example, natural killer cells, macrophages and the like.

After treatment with a mounting solution (3 drops) in the cell chamber for observation using confocal microscopy, CellMask ™ Plasma Membrane Stains (red) using an LSM700 confocal microscope (Carl Zeiss, Germany) (Abs 554 / Em 567 nm) and Dylight 405 NHE-ester (blue) (Abs 400 nm / Em420 nm).

As shown in Figure 4, it was confirmed that the peptide is located in the cell membrane.

<Example 4> fluorescence dye modified peptide binding monocytes binding to endothelial cells

HUVECs (5 × 10 4 cells / well) were incubated in EGM medium (Lonza, USA) in 24-well plates, then starvated with 0.5% EBM medium for 4 hours to TNF-alpha (10 ng / mL). Time was processed. CellMask ™ Plasma Membrane Stains (Invitrogen, USA) was prepared by treatment at a concentration of 5 μg / mL for 30 minutes in a 37 ° C. CO 2 incubator and then washed three times with PBS.

Here, THP-1 cells treated with the fluorescent dye modified peptide prepared in Example 3 were resuspended by treating 400 μl of DMEM medium containing 10% FBS. It was sprinkled onto stained HUVECs and left in a 37 ° C. CO 2 incubator for 30 minutes. After washing several times with PBS to remove the unattached THP-1 cells, 200 μl of 0.1% Triton X-100 was added to quantify the attached cells, and then after 5 minutes, they were removed by fluorescence spectrometer Victor3 (Fluorescent Spectrometer Victor3, Perkin). -Elmer, USA) was used to measure the Abs 484nm / Em 501nm wavelength (Fig. 5).

As shown in Figure 5, when treated with endothelial cells stimulated by TNF-alpha fluorescence dye-modified peptide-binding monocytes, it was confirmed that the binding force increased compared to the control (unstimulated endothelial cells).

In addition, immunoblotting using anti-ICAM-1 and anti-VCAM-1 antibodies to confirm that HUVECs were properly stimulated by TNF-alpha resulted in ICAM-1 (intercellular cell) by TNF-alpha. adhesion molecule-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) expression increased (FIG. 6).

In addition, three-dimensional images of HUVECs and THP-1 co-examination, HUVECs and fluorescein-modified BPin-44 co-imaging images were used to confirm that the actual fluorescent dye-modified BPin-44 was inserted into THP-1 cells bound to HUVECs. THP-1 cell position and fluorescence dye modified BPin-44 position was confirmed to be the same (FIG. 7).
