Description
본 발명은 세포 유래 베지클 및 리포좀이 융합된 하이브리드 나노입자, 이의 용도, 및 이의 제조방법 등에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to hybrid nanoparticles in which cell-derived vesicles and liposomes are fused, their use, and their manufacturing method.
본 발명은 2022년 7월 18일에 출원된 한국특허출원 제10-2022-0088450호에 기초한 우선권을 주장하며, 해당 출원들의 명세서 및 도면에 개시된 모든 내용은 본 출원에 원용된다.The present invention claims priority based on Korean Patent Application No. 10-2022-0088450 filed on July 18, 2022, and all contents disclosed in the specification and drawings of the relevant applications are incorporated in this application.
세포외 소포체(extracellular vesicles)는 나노-규모의 막(membrane) 구조체로, 단백질과 같은 세포 물질을 세포 사이에서 전달하여 세포간 커뮤니케이션을 매개한다. 소포체는 세포막 및 세포질 고유의 활성 물질을 보존할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 새로운 물질을 담지시킬 수 있으므로 다양한 생물학적 활성을 발휘할 수 있다. 특히, 세포외 소포체 표면에 표적 조직-특이적 결합 능력을 가진 단백질을 발현시킨다면 생체 내 목표부위의 표적능을 극대화할 수 있으므로 차세대 약물전달체로 기대되고 있다. Extracellular vesicles are nano-scale membrane structures that mediate intercellular communication by transferring cellular substances such as proteins between cells. The endoplasmic reticulum can not only preserve the cell membrane and cytoplasmic intrinsic active substances, but also can carry new substances, thereby exerting various biological activities. In particular, if a protein with target tissue-specific binding ability is expressed on the surface of extracellular vesicles, the targeting ability of the target site in vivo can be maximized, so it is expected to be a next-generation drug delivery vehicle.
그러나 천연 소포체는 세포에서 분비되는 양이 극히 적고, 수집 및 농축에 상당한 노력이 요구되기 때문에 상용화에 대한 한계점이 있다. 따라서, 다량 압출방식을 통해 간편하게 대량 수득할 수 있는 인공 세포 유래 베지클(Cell derived vesicles, CDV)이 활용된다. 세포 유래 베지클은 다양한 연구 및 산업 분야에서 엑소좀 및 엑토좀 등의 천연 세포외 소포체의 유사체로 활용되고 있다. 세포를 점차 작아지는 규모의 마이크론-크기 공극을 통해 연속적으로 압출시키거나, 세포를 depth filter에 반복적으로 통과시키면서 Crude-CDV를 제조할 수 있다. 이후, Crude-CDV에서 불순물을 분리 및 정제하여 손쉽게 대량의 CDV를 수득할 수 있다. CDV의 막단백질 및 지질은, CDV의 모세포의 원형질막(plasma membranes) 또는 세포소기관(organelle mebranes)으로부터 유래하므로, 세포가 발현하던 생리학적 활성 분자(단백질, 지질, 당 등)를 막 또는 막 내부에 포함한다. 또한, 세포 유래 베지클은 세포로부터 유래한 활성물질의 기능과 더불어 다양한 특성의 의약품을 추가로 봉입 내지 결합시킬 수 있으므로, 치료 효능을 극대화할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 그러나, 현재까지 세포 유래 소포체에 약물을 효과적으로 봉입시키는 것에는 한계가 있으며, 이를 위한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다.However, there are limitations to commercialization of natural endoplasmic reticulum because the amount secreted from cells is extremely small and considerable effort is required to collect and concentrate. Therefore, artificial cell derived vesicles (CDV), which can be easily obtained in large quantities through mass extrusion, are utilized. Cell-derived vesicles are used as analogs of natural extracellular vesicles such as exosomes and ectosomes in various research and industrial fields. Crude-CDV can be prepared by continuously extruding cells through increasingly smaller micron-sized pores or by repeatedly passing cells through a depth filter. Afterwards, large quantities of CDV can be easily obtained by separating and purifying impurities from Crude-CDV. Since the membrane proteins and lipids of CDV are derived from the plasma membranes or organelle membranes of CDV parent cells, the physiologically active molecules (proteins, lipids, sugars, etc.) expressed by the cells are stored in the membrane or inside the membrane. Includes. In addition, cell-derived vesicles have the advantage of maximizing therapeutic efficacy because they can additionally encapsulate or combine pharmaceuticals with various characteristics in addition to the function of active substances derived from cells. However, to date, there are limitations in effectively encapsulating drugs in cell-derived endoplasmic reticulum, and research for this purpose is being actively conducted.
한편, 리포좀(liposomes)은 지질로 된 이중층의 자가-조립(self-assembled) 구조체로서, 소수성(hydrophobic) 부분과 친수성(hydrophilic) 부분을 모두 갖는 양친매성(amphipathic) 입자이다. 리포좀은 생체적합성이 우수하고, 제법이 간편하며, 수용성 및 지용성 약물을 모두 운반할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 또한 리포좀은 표면 성질을 다양하게 변화시켜 제조할 수 있어 화장품, 애쥬번트, 및 약물전달 등 다양한 분야에 이용될 수 있다. 그러나 리포좀은 비특이적인 약물 전달의 가능성이 있어 예상치 못한 부작용 등을 유발할 수 있다. 따라서, 리포좀의 표적 타겟팅 능력을 개선할 수 있는 새로운 약물전달체의 개발이 필요하다.Meanwhile, liposomes are self-assembled bilayer structures made of lipids and are amphipathic particles that have both a hydrophobic part and a hydrophilic part. Liposomes have the advantage of excellent biocompatibility, simple manufacturing method, and ability to transport both water-soluble and fat-soluble drugs. In addition, liposomes can be manufactured by changing the surface properties in various ways, so they can be used in various fields such as cosmetics, adjuvants, and drug delivery. However, liposomes have the potential for non-specific drug delivery and may cause unexpected side effects. Therefore, there is a need to develop new drug carriers that can improve the target targeting ability of liposomes.
본 발명자들은 상기 문제점을 해결하기 위해 세포 유래 소포체 및 약물이 봉입된 리포좀을 효과적으로 융합할 수 있는 기술을 개발하였으며, 이를 통해 제조된 하이브리드 나노입자는 세포 유래 소포체에 발현되어 있던 단백질을 통해 특정 조직을 표적화할 수 있으며, 리포좀에 담지되어 있던 약물을 타겟 세포로 전달하여 생리학적 활성을 발휘할 수 있음을 확인하였다. To solve the above problems, the present inventors developed a technology that can effectively fuse cell-derived endoplasmic reticulum and drug-encapsulated liposomes, and the hybrid nanoparticles produced through this process target specific tissues through proteins expressed in cell-derived endoplasmic reticulum. It was confirmed that targeting is possible and that the drug contained in liposomes can be delivered to target cells to exert physiological activity.
따라서, 본 발명의 목적은 세포 유래 베지클 및 리포좀이 융합된 하이브리드 나노입자의 제조방법을 제공하는 것이다.Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for producing hybrid nanoparticles in which cell-derived vesicles and liposomes are fused.

리포좀 및 CDV는 마이크로플레이트 판독기(Synergy H1, BioTek, USA)에서 37℃로 유지된 검은색 플레이트에서 혼합됐다. PBS에서 CDV 및 리포좀을 혼합하였으며, 1/9(1×1011 개)의 리포좀/CDV 비율로 혼합됐다. 모든 소포는 NTA로 계수하였고, 반응 혼합물의 총 부피는 200 μL였다. Triton x-100 또는 에탄올을 각각 2% 또는 30%의 최종 농도로 첨가하였다. 또한, 초음파 처리 또는 전기천공은 20분 동안 40kHz 또는 양극성(50 voltage, 10μs, 5 펄스(ECM830, BTX Apparatus, USA))에서 진행되었다.

NBD가 여기(excitation)되면 형광 공명 에너지는 두 형광단 사이의 거리에 따라 달라지는 FRET 과정에서 로다민으로 전달된다. 융합은 37℃에서 NBD 형광 강도(460nm에서 여기, 535 nm에서 방출)를 따라 모니터링되었다. 1시간 후, 모든 리포좀을 가용화하기 위해 10 μl의 DDM(25 mg/mL)을 첨가하여 융합 반응을 중단하고 무한 희석에서 NBD 형광 강도를 측정하였다: Max(NBD). 융합 곡선은 다음 방정식을 사용하여 정규화했다:Liposomes and CDV were mixed in a black plate maintained at 37°C in a microplate reader (Synergy H1, BioTek, USA). CDV and liposomes were mixed in PBS at a liposome/CDV ratio of 1/9 (1×10 11 pieces). All vesicles were counted by NTA, and the total volume of the reaction mixture was 200 μL. Triton x-100 or ethanol was added to a final concentration of 2% or 30%, respectively. Additionally, sonication or electroporation was performed at 40 kHz or bipolar (50 voltage, 10 μs, 5 pulses (ECM830, BTX Apparatus, USA)) for 20 minutes. During the CDV-liposome fusion process, the lipid mixture was monitored by FRET. Additionally, donor fluorescent liposomes containing the same molar ratio (1.5%) of fluorescent lipids NBD-PS and Rhod-PE were prepared (see Tables 1 and 2). When NBD is excited, the fluorescence resonance energy is transferred to rhodamine in a FRET process that depends on the distance between the two fluorophores. Fusion was monitored by following NBD fluorescence intensity (excitation at 460 nm, emission at 535 nm) at 37°C. After 1 h, the fusion reaction was stopped by adding 10 μl of DDM (25 mg/mL) to solubilize all liposomes and the NBD fluorescence intensity was measured at infinite dilution: Max(NBD). The fusion curve was normalized using the following equation:
NBD 형광 증가(%) = [NBD-Min(NBD)]/[Max(NBD)-Min(NBD)] NBD fluorescence increase (%) = [NBD-Min(NBD)]/[Max(NBD)-Min(NBD)]
여기서, Min(NBD)은 모든 시간에서 가장 낮은 NBD 형광 값을 의미한다.Here, Min(NBD) means the lowest NBD fluorescence value at all times.

실험예 1. EGFR-CAR 발현 세포 유래 소포(EGFR-CAR-CDV)의 제조Experimental Example 1. Preparation of EGFR-CAR expressing cell-derived vesicles (EGFR-CAR-CDV)
키메릭 항원 수용체(CAR)는 암세포가 발현하는 특정 단백질에 결합하는 표적 수용체이다. 즉 CAR은 세포가 암세포를 표적화하는 능력을 부여하기 때문에, 주로 T 세포, 자연살해 세포(NK 세포), 또는 대식세포 등에서 발현되어 상기 면역세포들이 암세포를 효과적으로 타겟팅하여 사멸시키도록 유도한다. 표피성장인자 수용체(EGFR)는 표피성장인자(EGF)에 결합하는 막관통 당단백질이다. EGFR은 고형종양(폐암, 대장암, 유방암 등)이나 SARS-CoV-2 감염증 등의 다양한 질병과 관련이 있다.Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) is a targeting receptor that binds to specific proteins expressed by cancer cells. In other words, because CAR gives cells the ability to target cancer cells, it is mainly expressed in T cells, natural killer cells (NK cells), or macrophages, and induces the immune cells to effectively target and kill cancer cells. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that binds to epidermal growth factor (EGF). EGFR is associated with various diseases such as solid tumors (lung cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer, etc.) and SARS-CoV-2 infection.
항-EGFR-CAR 세포를 제조하기 위해, HEK293 세포를 항-EGFR-CAR(“”플라스미드로 형질감염시켰다(도 1a), 세포가 EGFR-CAR을 발현하는지 확인하기 위해, 형질감염된 HEK293 세포의 CAR 발현 수준을 유세포분석으로 확인한 결과, 전체 세포 대비 CAR을 발현하는 세포가 다수임을 확인하였다(도 1b). 또한, CAR의 구성요소인 CD3zeta의 발현을 웨스턴블롯으로 확인한 결과, EGFR-CAR 플라스미드로 형질감염된 HEK293 세포가 CD3zeta을 높은 수준으로 발현함을 확인하였다(도 1c). 상기 결과들은 형질감염된 HEK293 세포가 항-EGFR-CAR을 높은 수준으로 발현한다는 것을 보여준다. To prepare anti-EGFR-CAR cells, HEK293 cells were transfected with anti-EGFR-CAR (“” plasmid (Figure 1a). To confirm whether the cells express EGFR-CAR, CAR of transfected HEK293 cells As a result of confirming the expression level by flow cytometry, it was confirmed that there were a large number of cells expressing CAR compared to all cells (Figure 1b). In addition, the expression of CD3zeta, a component of CAR, was confirmed by Western blot, and it was confirmed that it was transfected with EGFR-CAR plasmid. It was confirmed that the transfected HEK293 cells expressed CD3zeta at a high level (Figure 1c). These results showed that the transfected HEK293 cells expressed anti-EGFR-CAR at a high level.
그 후, 형질감염된 세포를 다양한 기공 크기를 갖는 멤브레인 필터를 통해 미니 압출기에서 순차적으로 압출하여 항-EGFR-CAR 발현 세포 유래 소포(CDV)를 제조하였다(도 2a). 수득된 EGFR-CDV의 특성을 확인하기 위해, 먼저 나노입자 트래킹 분석(nanoparticle tracking analysis, NTA)를 통해 대조군 CDV 및 EGFR-CAR 발현 CDV의 표면전하 및 크기를 측정한 결과, 각 CDV의 표면전하 및 크기에 큰 차이가 없음을 확인하였다(도 2b 및 2c). 또한, 웨스턴블롯을 이용하여 대조군 CDV 또는 EGFR-CAR 발현 CDV의 EGFR-CAR 마커 단백질(CD3zeta) 및 소포체 마커 단백질(CD63)의 발현을 확인한 결과, 두 가지 CDV 모두에서 소포체 마커 단백질의 발현이 확인되었으며, EGFR-CAR CDV는 CD3zeta의 발현도 높은 수준으로 유지하는 것을 확인하였다(도 2d). 이어서 대조군 CDV 또는 EGFR-CAR 발현 CDV를 각각 MDA-MB-231 세포에 처리한 후 세포 생존율을 측정한 결과, 미처리 대조군과 비교하여 각 CDV 처리군의 세포 생존율에 차이가 없는 것을 확인한 바, 대조군 CDV 및 EGFR-CAR 발현 CDV 모두 세포독성이 없음을 확인하였다(도 2e). 즉, 상기 결과들을 통해 항-EGFR-CAR을 발현하는 CDV는 항-EGFR-CAR 구조, 소포체의 특성, 및 생체 적합성을 모두 가진다는 것을 보여준다. EGFR은 유방암 세포에서 발현되는 것으로 잘 알려져 있다. 따라서, 본 실험예에서는 EGFR을 발현하는 유방암 세포주인 MDA-MB-231을 선택하여 CDV의 타겟 세포 표적화 능력을 확인하였다. 대조군 또는 EGFR-CAR 발현 CDV(1×107개 입자)를 MDA-MB-231 세포에 4시간 동안 처리한 후, 세포의 형광 이미지를 촬영하고 형광 정도를 분석한 결과 EGFR-CAR 발현 CDV의 세포 내 흡수율이 대조군 CDV에 비해 높은 것을 확인하였다(도 2f 및 2g). 상기 결과는 EGFR-CDV가 대조군 CDV보다 우수한 암세포-표적화 특성을 가진다는 것을 뒷받침한다.Afterwards, the transfected cells were sequentially extruded in a mini extruder through membrane filters with various pore sizes to prepare anti-EGFR-CAR expressing cell-derived vesicles (CDVs) (Figure 2A). In order to confirm the characteristics of the obtained EGFR-CDV, the surface charge and size of the control CDV and EGFR-CAR expressing CDV were first measured through nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA). As a result, the surface charge and size of each CDV were determined. It was confirmed that there was no significant difference in size (Figures 2b and 2c). In addition, as a result of confirming the expression of EGFR-CAR marker protein (CD3zeta) and endoplasmic reticulum marker protein (CD63) in control CDV or EGFR-CAR expressing CDV using Western blot, expression of endoplasmic reticulum marker protein was confirmed in both CDVs. , EGFR-CAR CDV was confirmed to maintain a high level of expression of CD3zeta (Figure 2d). Subsequently, the cell survival rate was measured after treating MDA-MB-231 cells with control CDV or EGFR-CAR expressing CDV, respectively. As a result, it was confirmed that there was no difference in cell survival rate of each CDV treatment group compared to the untreated control group. Control CDV and EGFR-CAR expressing CDV were confirmed to have no cytotoxicity (Figure 2e). In other words, the above results show that CDV expressing anti-EGFR-CAR has an anti-EGFR-CAR structure, endoplasmic reticulum characteristics, and biocompatibility. EGFR is well known to be expressed in breast cancer cells. Therefore, in this experimental example, MDA-MB-231, a breast cancer cell line expressing EGFR, was selected to confirm the target cell targeting ability of CDV. After treating MDA-MB-231 cells with control or EGFR-CAR expressing CDV (1 × 10 7 particles) for 4 hours, fluorescence images of the cells were taken and the level of fluorescence was analyzed. As a result, cells of EGFR-CAR expressing CDV were found to be It was confirmed that the absorption rate was higher than that of the control CDV (Figures 2f and 2g). The above results support that EGFR-CDV has better cancer cell-targeting properties than control CDV.
실험예 2. FRET 기법을 활용한 EGFR-CAR-CDV와 리포좀의 융합 분석Experimental Example 2. Fusion analysis of EGFR-CAR-CDV and liposome using FRET technique
형광 공명 에너지 전달(FRET)은 리포좀 간의 상호작용(융합 등)을 모니터링하는 형광 기반 기법이다. 신규한 CDV 및 리포좀의 융합 방법을 개발하기 위해, 먼저 리포좀 간 융합을 시도하였으며, 리포좀 간 융합 정도를 평가하기 위해 대조군 리포좀 및 FRET 리포좀을 다양한 방식으로 융합한 후 NBD 형광을 분석했다(즉, NBD에서 Rhod로의 에너지 전달 효율을 분석함). 표지되지 않은 대조군 리포좀과 융합된 FRET 리포좀은 형광단(fluorophores)의 표면 밀도가 감소하는데, FRET 분석에서는 두 개의 형광 프로브(NBD-PS 및 Rhod-PE)과 지질의 몰비 조성이 중요하다(표 1 및 도 3a). 나노입자 트래킹 분석을 통해 대조군 리포좀 및 FRET 리포좀의 표면 제타 전위를 측정한 결과, 두 리포좀의 표면전하 및 크기에 유의미한 차이가 없음을 확인하였다(도 3b 및 3c). Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) is a fluorescence-based technique that monitors interactions (such as fusion) between liposomes. To develop a novel fusion method of CDV and liposomes, fusion between liposomes was first attempted. To evaluate the degree of fusion between liposomes, control liposomes and FRET liposomes were fused in various ways and NBD fluorescence was analyzed (i.e., NBD to analyze the energy transfer efficiency from to Rhod). FRET liposomes fused with unlabeled control liposomes have a reduced surface density of fluorophores, and the molar ratio composition of the two fluorescent probes (NBD-PS and Rhod-PE) and lipid is important in FRET analysis (Table 1 and Figure 3a). As a result of measuring the surface zeta potential of the control liposome and FRET liposome through nanoparticle tracking analysis, it was confirmed that there was no significant difference in the surface charge and size of the two liposomes (Figures 3b and 3c).
리포좀 융합을 유도하기 위해, 대조군 리포좀 및 상기 표 1에 나타낸 지질 조성을 갖는 FRET 리포좀을 혼합한 후 전체 용액 대비 30% EtOH 농도가 되도록 에탄올을 첨가하고, 1시간 후에 전체 부피의 3배가 되는 부피의 인산완충생리식염수를 넣어 정제했다. 기타 방법(소니케이션, 전기천공 등)에 의한 리포좀 융합과 비교하기 위해, 각 방법으로 융합을 유도한 리포좀의 FRET 정도를 측정한 결과, 30% EtOH의 용액을 이용한 방법 또는 전기천공을 수행한 그룹은 NBD의 형광 값이 증가하여 융합이 일어난 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히, 30% EtOH로 융합시킨 그룹은 지질막을 용해시키는 것으로 잘 알려진 양성 대조군인 Triton x-100과 유사한 형광값을 나타냈으며, 융합 후 1시간이 지났을 때에는 Triton x-100 보다 높은 형광값을 보였다(도 3d). 그러나 같은 방법으로 상기 표 1에 나타낸 지질 조성을 갖는 FRET 리포좀 및 HEK293 CDV의 융합을 유도한 후 FRET 정도를 측정한 결과, 양성 대조군인 Triton x-100을 사용한 그룹과 달리 형광 값의 변화가 없으며 음성 대조군인 PBS 그룹군과 유사한 형광 값을 확인한 바, 상기 FRET 리포좀 및 CDV 사이의 융합은 triton x-100을 제외한 어떤 조건에서도 촉발되지 않은 것으로 나타났다(도 3e). To induce liposome fusion, control liposomes and FRET liposomes having the lipid composition shown in Table 1 were mixed, then ethanol was added to a concentration of 30% EtOH compared to the total solution, and after 1 hour, a volume of phosphoric acid three times the total volume was added. It was purified by adding buffered saline. In order to compare liposome fusion by other methods (sonication, electroporation, etc.), the degree of FRET of liposomes induced by fusion by each method was measured, and the results showed that the group that used the method using a 30% EtOH solution or electroporation performed It was confirmed that fusion occurred as the fluorescence value of NBD increased. In particular, the group fused with 30% EtOH showed a similar fluorescence value to Triton x-100, a positive control well known to dissolve lipid membranes, and showed a higher fluorescence value than
실험예 3. EGFR-CAR-CDV와 융합가능한 리포좀 조성 확립Experimental Example 3. Establishment of liposome composition capable of fusing with EGFR-CAR-CDV
상기 실시예에서 확인한 바와 같이, 표 1의 조성을 갖는 FRET 리포좀은 어떤 조건에서도 CDV와 융합되지 않았다(도 3e). 따라서, 본 발명자들은 리포좀의 지질 조성이 CDV와의 융합 정도에 영향을 미치는 것이라 판단하고, CDV와 효율적으로 융합가능한 리포좀 조성을 확인하기 위해 다양한 지질 조성을 갖는 리포좀들을 합성했다(표 2).As confirmed in the above examples, FRET liposomes with the compositions in Table 1 did not fuse with CDV under any conditions (FIG. 3e). Therefore, the present inventors determined that the lipid composition of liposomes affects the degree of fusion with CDV, and synthesized liposomes with various lipid compositions to confirm liposome compositions that can efficiently fuse with CDV (Table 2).
세 가지 리포솜의 특성을 각각 확인한 결과, 리포좀 A, B, 및 C 순으로 크기는 각각 163 nm, 179 nm, 및 198 nm 였으며(도 4a). 또한 표면전하는 각각 각각 -36, +40, 및 -36 mV 였다(도 4b). 서로 다른 지질 조성을 갖는 각각의 FRET 리포좀과 CDV를 30% EtOH로 융합시켜 형광 공명 에너지 전이율을 비교한 결과, 양이온성 리포좀인 리포좀 B에서만 통계적으로 유의미하게 높은 전이율이 관찰된 바, 리포좀 B가 CDV와 효과적으로 융합되었음을 알 수 있었다(도 4c 및 4d). 상기 결과는 표면에 양전하를 갖는 리포솜이 30% EtOH에서 CDV와의 융합에 적합하다는 것을 의미한다. 이어서 리포좀 B의 생체벅합성을 평가하기 위해 섬유아세포주(NIH3T3) 및 유방암 세포주(MDA-MB-231)에 리포좀 B를 다양한 입자 수로 처리한 후 세포 생존율을 확인한 결과, 리포좀 B는 세포독성이 없는 것으로 나타났다(도 4e).As a result of checking the characteristics of the three liposomes, the sizes of liposomes A, B, and C in that order were 163 nm, 179 nm, and 198 nm, respectively (Figure 4a). Additionally, the surface charges were -36, +40, and -36 mV, respectively (Figure 4b). As a result of comparing the fluorescence resonance energy transfer rates by fusing each FRET liposome with different lipid composition and CDV with 30% EtOH, a statistically significantly higher transfer rate was observed only in liposome B, which is a cationic liposome. It was found that it was effectively fused with CDV (Figures 4c and 4d). The above results mean that liposomes with a positive charge on the surface are suitable for fusion with CDV in 30% EtOH. Next, to evaluate the biocompatibility of liposome B, fibroblast cell line (NIH3T3) and breast cancer cell line (MDA-MB-231) were treated with liposome B with various particle numbers and the cell viability was confirmed. As a result, liposome B was not cytotoxic. It was found that (Figure 4e).
실험예 4, 하이브리드 나노소포의 유방암 세포 표적능 평가Experimental Example 4, Evaluation of breast cancer cell targeting ability of hybrid nanovesicles
암을 표적화하여 암 특이적으로 약물을 전달할 수 있는 이중 기능화된 나노입자를 생성하였다. 구체적으로, 먼저 레이저에 반응하여 활성산소(ROS)를 생성하는 소수성의 감광제(mTHPC)를 양이온성 리포좀에 캡슐화시켰다(도 5a). 광감작제가 봉입된 리포좀의 크기를 확인한 결과, 직경이 약 307 nm 였으며(도 5c), 표면에 양의 표면전하(32 mV)를 갖는 것을 확인하였다(도 5b). 또한, 광감작제가 봉입된 리포좀을 TEM으로 촬영한 결과 구형의 형태를 관찰하였다(도 5d). 다음으로, mTHPC가 로딩된 리포좀에 레이저를 조사하여 활성산소의 양을 측정한 결과, 레이저 조사 시간이 증가함에 따라 활성산소의 양이 증가한 바, 광감작제가 로딩된 리포좀이 레이저에 반응하여 활성산소를 정상적으로 생성한 것을 확인할 수 있었다(도 5e). 또한, 광감작제가 로딩된 리포좀을 유방암 세포주 (MDA-MB-231)에 처리하고 레이저 조사 유무에 따른 세포 사멸을 비교한 결과 레이저를 조사하지 않은 그룹은 암세포의 사멸이 관찰되지 않았으나, 레이저를 조사한 그룹에서는 유의미한 암세포 사멸이 유도된 것을 확인하였다(도 5f). 상기 결과는 광감작제가 로딩된 리포좀은 레이저 조사시 활성산소를 생성하여 효과적으로 암세포 사멸을 유도할 수 있다는 것을 보여준다. Dual-functionalized nanoparticles that can target cancer and deliver cancer-specific drugs were created. Specifically, first, a hydrophobic photosensitizer (mTHPC), which generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) in response to laser, was encapsulated in cationic liposomes (Figure 5a). As a result of checking the size of the liposome encapsulated with the photosensitizer, it was confirmed that the diameter was about 307 nm (Figure 5c) and that it had a positive surface charge (32 mV) on the surface (Figure 5b). In addition, as a result of TEM imaging of the liposome encapsulated with the photosensitizer, a spherical shape was observed (Figure 5d). Next, the amount of active oxygen was measured by irradiating a laser to the mTHPC-loaded liposome. As a result, the amount of active oxygen increased as the laser irradiation time increased. The liposome loaded with the photosensitizer responded to the laser and produced active oxygen. It was confirmed that was generated normally (Figure 5e). In addition, when liposomes loaded with photosensitizer were treated with breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-231) and cell death was compared with and without laser irradiation, no death of cancer cells was observed in the group without laser irradiation, but in the group with laser irradiation, cell death was not observed. It was confirmed that significant cancer cell death was induced in the group (Figure 5f). The above results show that liposomes loaded with a photosensitizer can effectively induce cancer cell death by generating active oxygen upon laser irradiation.
다음으로, 광감작제가 로딩된 리포좀 및 EGFR-CAR 발현 CDV를 융합한 하이브리드 나노소포를 제조하여 이의 특성 및 효과를 확인하였다. 상기 하이브리드 나노소포는 실험예 2와 같이 30% EtOH로 리포좀 및 CDV를 융합시켜 제조했다. 대조군 CDV, EGFR-CDV, 대조군 CDV와 융합된 리포좀, 및 EGFR-CDV와 융합된 리포좀의 크기는 각각 145, 165, 132, 및 173 nm로, 크기에 유의미한 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다(도 6b). 또한, 각각의 표면전하를 확인한 결과 CDV의 표면전하는 약 -25 Mv인 반면, CDV 및 양이온성 리포좀을 융합시킨 하이브리드 나노입자의 표면전하는 약 -10 mV로, 양이온성 리포좀에 의해 CDV의 표면전하가 증가한 것을 확인할 수 있었다(도 6a). 이어서, 하이브리드 나노입자의 세포독성 및 암세포 사멸 효과를 확인하였다. 먼저, 유방암 세포주(MDA-MB-231)에 하이브리드 나노입자를 처리한 결과, 그 자체의 독성은 거의 없는 것을 확인하였다(도 6c). 또한, 유방암 세포주에 하이브드 나노입자를 처리한 후 CAR를 이용하여 나노입자의 세포 흡수율을 확인한 결과, 대조군 CDV로 융합된 리포좀에 비해 EGFR-CDV로 융합된 리포좀의 세포 내 흡수율이 더 높은 것을 확인하였다(도 6d 및 6e). 다음으로, 유방암 세포주에 하이브리드 나노입자를 처리한 후 레이저 조사 유무에 따른 세포 사멸율을 확인한 결과, 레이저를 조사하지 않은 그룹은 암세포 사멸이 유도되지 않았으나, 레이저를 조사한 그룹은 대부분의 암세포가 사멸한 것으로 나타났다(도 6f). 상기 결과는 본 발명에 따른 하이브리드 나노입자는, EGFR-CAR을 통해 암세포를 표적화하여 효과적으로 암세포 내로 흡수될 수 있으며, 암세포 내에서 레이저에 반응하여 활성산소를 생성하여 암세포를 사멸시킬 수 있음을 보여준다. 즉, 본 발명에 따른 하이브리드 나노입자는 암세포 특이적 CAR을 발현하는 CDV 및 광감작제가 로딩된 리포좀의 효과적인 융합에 의해 우수한 암세포 표적화능 및 암세포 사멸 기능을 발휘한다. Next, hybrid nanovesicles were prepared by fusing liposomes loaded with a photosensitizer and CDV expressing EGFR-CAR, and their properties and effects were confirmed. The hybrid nanovesicles were prepared by fusing liposomes and CDV with 30% EtOH as in Experimental Example 2. The sizes of control CDV, EGFR-CDV, liposomes fused with control CDV, and liposomes fused with EGFR-CDV were 145, 165, 132, and 173 nm, respectively, showing no significant difference in size (Figure 6b). In addition, as a result of checking the surface charges of each, the surface charge of CDV was about -25 Mv, while the surface charge of the hybrid nanoparticle fused with CDV and cationic liposome was about -10 mV, and the surface charge of CDV was reduced by cationic liposome. An increase was confirmed (Figure 6a). Subsequently, the cytotoxicity and cancer cell killing effects of the hybrid nanoparticles were confirmed. First, as a result of treating the breast cancer cell line (MDA-MB-231) with the hybrid nanoparticles, it was confirmed that they had almost no toxicity (Figure 6c). In addition, after treating breast cancer cell lines with hybrid nanoparticles, the cellular uptake rate of the nanoparticles was confirmed using CAR. As a result, it was confirmed that the cellular uptake rate of liposomes fused with EGFR-CDV was higher compared to liposomes fused with control CDV. (Figures 6d and 6e). Next, after treating breast cancer cell lines with hybrid nanoparticles, the cell death rate was checked with or without laser irradiation. As a result, cancer cell death was not induced in the group that was not irradiated with laser, but most cancer cells were killed in the group that was irradiated with laser. It was found that (Figure 6f). The above results show that the hybrid nanoparticle according to the present invention can be effectively absorbed into cancer cells by targeting cancer cells through EGFR-CAR, and can kill cancer cells by generating active oxygen in response to laser within cancer cells. In other words, the hybrid nanoparticle according to the present invention exhibits excellent cancer cell targeting ability and cancer cell killing function by effective fusion of CDV expressing cancer cell-specific CAR and liposome loaded with photosensitizer.

앞선 실시예를 통해 in vitro에서 본 발명에 따른 하이브리드 나노입자의 암세포 표적화능 및 약물 전달 효과를 확인하였으므로, 본 실시예에서는 종양 마우스모델을 제작하여 하이브리드 나노소포의 기능을 평가하였다. 구체적으로, 도 7a에 나타낸 동물실험 스케쥴에 따라 종양 마우스 모델에 EGFR-CAR 발현 CDV 및 광감작제가 로딩된 리포좀이 융합된 하이브리드 나노소포를 정맥투여한 후, 레이저를 조사하여 하이브리드 나노소포에 의한 종양 사멸효과를 평가하였다. 먼저, 전신 주입된 하이브리드 나노입자의 혈액 독성을 평가한 결과, 대조군과 비교하여 간 및 신장 독성 마커들의 수준에 유의미한 변화가 일어나지 않은 바, 본 발명에 따른 하이브리드 나노입자의 생체적합성이 우수한 것을 확인하였다(도 7b). 또한, 형광 물질로 염색된 하이브리드 나노소포를 정맥주사하고 24시간이 지난 후 형광 이미징을 통해 나노소포의 체내 분포를 확인한 결과, EGFR-CAR을 발현하는 CDV와 융합된 하이브리드 나노입자가 대조군에 비해 종양 부위에 축적된 양이 현저히 높은 바, 암세포 특이적 CAR을 발현하는 CDV와 융합된 리포좀의 종양 표적능이 더 우수한 것을 확인할 수 있었다(도 7c). 또한, 하이브리드 나노입자를 정맥주사한 후 레이저를 조사하여 레이저 조사 여부에 따른 종양 크기를 추적한 결과, 레이저를 조사한 그룹은 레이저를 조사하지 않은 그룹에 비해 종양 크기가 현저히 감소한 바, 본 발명에 따른 하이브리드 나노입자가 암세포로 효과적으로 흡수된 후 레이저에 반응하여 활성산소를 생성함으로써 효과적으로 암세포를 사멸시키고 종양 성장을 억제하였음을 확인하였다(도 7d). Since the cancer cell targeting ability and drug delivery effect of the hybrid nanoparticle according to the present invention were confirmed in vitro through the previous example, in this example, a tumor mouse model was created to evaluate the function of the hybrid nanovesicle. Specifically, according to the animal experiment schedule shown in Figure 7a, hybrid nanovesicles fused with liposomes loaded with EGFR-CAR expressing CDV and photosensitizer were intravenously administered to a tumor mouse model, and then laser was irradiated to kill the tumor caused by the hybrid nanovesicles. The killing effect was evaluated. First, as a result of evaluating the blood toxicity of systemically injected hybrid nanoparticles, no significant changes occurred in the levels of liver and kidney toxicity markers compared to the control group, confirming that the hybrid nanoparticles according to the present invention have excellent biocompatibility. (Figure 7b). In addition, the distribution of nanovesicles in the body was confirmed through fluorescence imaging 24 hours after intravenous injection of hybrid nanovesicles stained with a fluorescent substance. As a result, hybrid nanoparticles fused with CDV expressing EGFR-CAR showed tumor growth compared to the control group. As the amount accumulated in the area was significantly high, it was confirmed that the tumor targeting ability of liposomes fused with CDV expressing cancer cell-specific CAR was superior (Figure 7c). In addition, as a result of intravenous injection of hybrid nanoparticles and then irradiation with a laser to track the tumor size depending on whether or not the laser was irradiated, the tumor size in the group irradiated with the laser was significantly reduced compared to the group not irradiated with the laser. According to the present invention, It was confirmed that the hybrid nanoparticles were effectively absorbed into cancer cells and then responded to the laser to generate active oxygen, effectively killing cancer cells and inhibiting tumor growth (Figure 7d).
