- Microbubbles which are ultrasonic contrast agents, have brought about breakthroughs in ultrasonic diagnosis.
- ultrasonic waves have become available for purposes other than diagnosis.
- non-invasive cancer hyperthermia by focusing ultrasonic energy on the affected area and heating only the affected area has been used for uterine fibroids and prostate gland. It is clinically applied.
- DDS drug delivery system
- bubble liposomes in which perfluoropropane is encapsulated in polyethylene glycol (PEG) -modified liposomes have been reported as a gene delivery system to skeletal muscle that combines bubble liposomes and ultrasonic technology (Non-Patent Document 1). ..
- PEG-modified bubble liposome bubble lipopolyplex having an average particle diameter of 50 to 500 nm, in which a specific morpholino oligomer is bound to the surface and perfluorohydrocarbon is encapsulated inside, the muscle tissue or blood vessel is administered.
- Non-Patent Document 1 A therapeutic agent for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, which introduces the morpholino oligomer into muscle cells with high efficiency by irradiating muscle tissue with ultrasonic waves from outside the body, has also been reported (Patent Document 1). Furthermore, it has been reported that gas-filled microbubbles and ultrasonic waves can be used for drug and gene delivery to the brain (Non-Patent Document 2).
- Non-Patent Document 3 It has been reported that by using perfluoropropane gas as the encapsulating gas, bubble liposomes having a size smaller than that using perfluorobutane gas or nitrogen gas can be obtained (Non-Patent Document 3).
- bubble lipopolyplex which is a combination of nanobubbles and plasmid
- the plasmid was introduced into the vascular endothelium or the external position of the blood vessel, and the efficiency of gas encapsulation was increased. It has been reported that the introduction site is different (Non-Patent Document 4).
- bubble liposomes may cause problems with lipid antigenicity.

Since it is defined as “ultra fine bubble”, it is referred to as “ultra fine bubble” in the present specification instead of “nano bubble”), but it is noted that it does not contain phospholipids.
- the ultrafine bubbles contained in this ultrafine bubble water have an average diameter of 200 nm or less, which is even smaller than the conventional one. Conventionally, it has been thought that ultrafine bubbles cause more severe damage to cell membranes when crushed than microbubbles, but the present inventors dared to combine this ultrafine bubble water with ultrasonic irradiation to skeletal muscle.
- the introduction of nucleic acids and proteins into cells was examined. As a result, it was surprisingly shown that the combination of the ultrafine bubble water and ultrasonic waves can dramatically increase the nucleic acid introduction efficiency as compared with any single treatment. The introduction efficiency was superior to that of conventional microbubble liposomes. Further, the ultrasonic treatment can significantly increase the protein introduction efficiency by the ultrafine bubble water alone treatment, and according to the combination of the ultrafine bubble water and ultrasonic waves, the low output intensity of 500 mW / cm 2 or less. It was shown that the protein can be efficiently introduced into cells. As a result of further studies based on these findings, the present inventors have completed the present invention.

Abstract
Description
超音波は、医療現場において主に超音波造影装置として利用されてきた。超音波造影剤であるマイクロバブルが超音波診断に画期的な進歩をもたらしている。一方、最近では、超音波を診断以外にも利用できるようになり、例えば、超音波エネルギーを患部に集束させて患部のみを加熱することによる非侵襲的がん温熱療法が、子宮筋腫や前立腺がんで臨床応用されている。また、非侵襲性と空間的・時間的制御が容易であることに着目して、超音波照射を、遺伝子や薬物を目的細胞に送達させるドラッグデリバリーシステム(DDS)の手段として利用する研究(ソノポレーション)も進められている。
本発明者らは、これらの知見に基づいてさらに検討を重ねた結果、本発明を完成するに至った。

また、従来ウルトラファインバブルは圧壊した際にマイクロバブルと比較して細胞膜の損傷が激しく、細胞のトランスフェクションには不向きと考えられていたが、意外にも、本発明によれば、ウルトラファインバブルを使用することにより、マイクロバブルを使用した場合と比較し、細胞内への目的物質の導入効率を顕著に増大させることができる。
さらに、該平均径200nm以下のウルトラファインバブルはウルトラファインバブル水もしくはウルトラファインバブル水溶液内で長期間安定である。
I.本発明のシステム

1)アニオン性界面活性剤、非イオン性界面活性剤、カチオン性界面活性剤および両性界面活性剤から選ばれる1種または2種以上の界面活性剤、
2)親水性樹脂および
3)緩衝液
から選ばれる1種または2種以上の物質を成分として含む。
本発明において「非イオン性界面活性剤」としては、例えば、グリセリン脂肪酸エステル(例、モノステアリン酸グリセリン等)、ショ糖脂肪酸エステル、ソルビタン脂肪酸エステル(例、モノステアリン酸ソルビタン、モノラウリン酸ソルビタン等)、ポリグリセリン脂肪酸エステル、ポリオキシエチレン(硬化)ヒマシ油、ポリオキシエチレンソルビタン脂肪酸エステル(例、ポリオキシエチレンソルビタンラウリン酸エステル(例、ポリソルベート20等)、ポリオキシエチレンソルビタンオレイン酸エステル(例、ポリソルベート80等)等)、ポリエチレングリコール脂肪酸エステル、ポリオキシエチレンアルキルエーテル(例、ポリオキシエチレンラウリルエーテル等)、ポリオキシエチレンポリオキシプロピレンアルキルエーテル(例、ポリオキシエチレンポリオキシプロピレンセチルエーテル等)、ポリオキシエチレンアルキルフェニルエーテル(例、ポリオキシエチレンノニルフェニルエーテル等)、マクロゴール類、ポリオキシエチレンポリオキシプロピレングリコール(例、ポロクサマー407、ポロクサマー235、ポロクサマー188、ポロキサミン等)等が挙げられる。中でも好ましくは、ポリオキシエチレンソルビタンラウリン酸エステル(例、ポリソルベート20等)、ポリオキシエチレンソルビタンオレイン酸エステル(例、ポリソルベート80等)である。さらに好ましくはポリソルベート20またはポリソルベート80である。特に好ましくはポリソルベート80である。

10% FBS含有DMEM培地中のC2C12 cell(3×104 cell,0.5mL)を48wellに播種した。培地を除去した後にFAMで蛍光標識したsiRNA(FAM-siRNA)を5μg含有したウルトラファインバブル/DMEM培地を0.5mL加えた。ウルトラファインバブル/DMEM培地は、DMEM培地用粉末に、参考例1で調製したウルトラファインバブル水溶液を1L加え、2g/L NaHCO3及び10% FBSを添加したものを、トランスフェクション用培地として用いた。
FAM-siRNA含有培地を添加した後、超音波発生装置(NEPAGENE)を用いて周波数1MHz、出力強度500mW/cm2で10sec超音波照射を行った。超音波照射した後、細胞を2hr培養し、その後トランスフェクション用培地を除去し、DMEM培地(培養用培地)中で48時間培養した。
培養終了後、細胞をDAPIで染色し、蛍光顕微鏡(KEYENCE社製)下で観察した。結果を図1Aに示す。ウルトラファインバブルのみでは細胞内へのsiRNAの送達は認められなかった。超音波処理によりわずかに細胞内へのsiRNAの送達は認められた。ウルトラファインバブルと超音波とを組み合わせることにより、細胞内へのsiRNA導入効率が顕著に上昇した。
また、培養終了後に細胞を回収し、細胞溶解液0.5mLで完全に溶解させた後に、FAM-siRNAの蛍光量を分光蛍光光度計で測定した。Control(ウルトラファインバブルのみ)の測定値を1として比例計算でFAM-siRNAの取り込み量を相対量で評価した。結果を図1Bに示す。蛍光顕微鏡観察での結果が定量的に確認された。
なお、図1にはマイナスに帯電したウルトラファインバブル(注射用水を用いて製造したもの)の結果を示しているが、siRNAの場合、プラスに帯電したウルトラファインバブル(薄めたMclivaine緩衝液(pH3.0)を用いて製造したもの)でも同様の効果が得られる。
10% FBS含有DMEM培地中のC2C12 cell(3×104 cell,0.5mL)を48wellに播種した。培地を除去した後にFAMで蛍光標識したsiRNA(FAM-siRNA)5μg含有したウルトラファインバブル/DMEM培地またはマイクロバブル/DMEM培地を0.5mL加えた。ウルトラファインバブル/DMEM培地及びマイクロバブル/DMEM培地はDMEM培地用粉末に、参考例1で調製したウルトラファインバブル水溶液または市販のマイクロバブル水を1L加え、2g/L NaHCO3及び10% FBSを添加したものを、トランスフェクション用培地として用いた。マイクロバブル水としては、リン脂質であるホスファチジルセリンを構成成分に含むSonazoid(平均径:3μm)を使用した。
各FAM-siRNA含有培地を添加した後、超音波発生装置(NEPAGENE)を用いて周波数1MHz、出力強度500mW/cm2で10sec超音波照射を行った。超音波照射した後、細胞を2hr培養し、その後トランスフェクション用培地を除去し、DMEM培地(培養用培地)中で48時間培養した。
培養終了後に細胞を回収し、細胞溶解液0.5mLで完全に溶解させた後に、FAM-siRNAの蛍光量を分光蛍光光度計で測定した。Control(ウルトラファインバブルのみ)の測定値を1として比例計算でFAM-siRNAの取り込み量を相対量で評価した。結果を図2に示す。ウルトラファインバブル水は、マイクロバブル水よりも顕著に細胞内へのsiRNA導入効率を上昇させた。
なお、図2にはマイナスに帯電したウルトラファインバブル(注射用水を用いて製造したもの)の結果を示しているが、siRNAの場合、プラスに帯電したウルトラファインバブル(薄めたMclivaine緩衝液(pH3.0)を用いて製造したもの)でも同様の効果が得られる。
10% FBS含有DMEM培地中のC2C12 cell(6×104 cell,1mL)を48wellに播種した。培地を除去した後にIgG-FITCをウルトラファインバブル/DMEM培地で100倍希釈した液を1mL加えた。ウルトラファインバブル/DMEM培地はDMEM培地用粉末に、参考例1で調製したウルトラファインバブル水溶液を1L加え、2g/L NaHCO3及び10% FBSを添加したものを、トランスフェクション用培地として用いた。
IgG-FITC含有培地を添加した後、超音波発生装置(NEPAGENE)を用いて出力強度500mW/cm2、周波数0.5MHz又は3MHzで、10sec超音波照射を行った。超音波照射した後、細胞を2hr培養し、その後トランスフェクション用培地を除去し、DMEM培地(培養用培地)中で48時間培養した。
培養終了後、IgG-FITCの蛍光量を分光蛍光光度計で測定した。生存細胞数も測定し、生存細胞あたりの蛍光量に換算して、比較を行った。結果を図3に示す。ウルトラファインバブルと超音波とを組み合わせることにより、細胞内へのIgG-FITC導入効率が顕著に上昇した。調べた範囲では、超音波の周波数は導入効率に影響を及ぼさなかった。
10% FBS含有DMEM培地中のC2C12 cell(3×104 cell,0.5mL)を48wellに播種した。培地を除去した後にFITC 0.38μg含有したウルトラファインバブル/DMEM培地を0.5mL加えた。ウルトラファインバブル/DMEM培地はDMEM培地用粉末に、参考例1で調製したウルトラファインバブル水溶液を1L加え、2g/L NaHCO3及び10% FBSを添加したものを、トランスフェクション用培地として用いた。
FITC含有培地を添加した後、超音波発生装置(NEPAGENE)を用いて周波数1MHz、出力強度100,250,500mW/cm2で10sec超音波照射を行った。超音波照射した後、2hr培養し、その後トランスフェクション用培地を除去し、DMEM培地(培養用培地)で48時間培養した。
培養終了後、細胞を回収し、細胞溶解液0.5mLで完全に溶解させた後に、FITCの蛍光量を分光蛍光光度計で測定した。Control(ウルトラファインバブルのみ)の測定値を1として比例計算でFITCの取り込み量を相対量で評価した。結果を図4に示す。ウルトラファインバブルと超音波とを組み合わせることにより、細胞内へのFITC導入効率が顕著に上昇した。超音波の出力強度は導入効率に大きく影響し、100mW/cm2でも増加傾向は認められたが、250又は500mW/cm2で有意にFITCの導入効率は増大し、特に250mW/cm2で優れた導入効率を示した。
なお、図4にはマイナスに帯電したウルトラファインバブル(注射用水を用いて製造したもの)の結果を示しているが、低分子化合物の場合、プラスに帯電したウルトラファインバブル(薄めたMclivaine緩衝液(pH3.0)を用いて製造したもの)でも同様の効果が得られる。
