目的:研究适配体SP94修饰的阳离子基因载体H3R5,合成新型肝靶向纳米复合物SP94-H3R5/miR195,增加对肝癌细胞的靶向性,提高基因的转染效率。方法:经半胱氨酸修饰的SP94与H3R5末端的半胱氨酸发生氧化反应,组装得到SP94-H3R5,利用^1 H-NMR鉴定SP94-H3R5载体的结构,通过电位粒度仪测定纳米复合物的电位和粒径,利用琼脂糖凝胶电泳考察载体对miR195的压缩能力。以体外培养的人肝癌SK-Hep-1为研究对象,CCK8法检测SP94-H3R5和H3R5对细胞增殖的抑制作用,采用激光共聚焦显微镜考察肝癌细胞对纳米复合物的摄取,以pEGFP为报告基因考察基因转染效率,Western blot实验检测SK-Hep-1细胞VEGF的蛋白表达。结果:SP94-H3R5具有生物相容性,可以压缩miR195形成稳定的纳米复合物,SP94-H3R5/miR195与H3R5/miR195相比可以更多地被SK-Hep-1摄取(P〈0.01),SP94-H3R5转染效率高于非靶向载体H3R5,对VEGF的阻滞作用也更高(P〈0.01)。结论:SP94-H3R5兼具纳米材料的被动靶向作用和适配体的主动靶向作用,有潜力成为肝癌治疗中的新型载体。
OBJECTIVE To investigate aptamer SP94 modified cationic gene vector H3R5, develop a novel liver targeting nanocomposite named SP04-HwR5/miR195 to enhance the targeting to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells and improve the gene transfection efficiency. METHODS SP94-H3R5 was successfully prepared by the oxidation of the -SH groups of cysteine from SP94 and H3R5, which generated disulfide bonds. The structure of SP94-H3 R5 was identified by 1 H-NMR. The ZetaSizer was applied to estimate the Zeta potential and the size of nanocomposites. Gel electrophoresis was employed to determine the condensation capacity of SP94-H3R5 to miR195. The cytotoxicity, cellular uptake, transfection efficiency of SP94-H3R5 and miR195 interference efficiency of SP94-H3R5/miR195 to VEGF were evaluated using HCC cells SK Hep-1. RESULTS The biocompatible SP94-H3R5 condensed miR195 to become the stable nanocomposites. Compared with H3 R5/miR195, more SP94 H3R5/miR195 could be uptaken by SK-Helyl (P〈0. 01). The transfection efficiency of SP94-H3R5/miR195 was higher than that of H3R5/miR195 and the blocking effect on VEGF was also higher (P〈0. 01). CONCLUSION SP94-H3R5 holds the po tential to become an innovative vector targeting HCC by the passive targeting effects of nanomaterials and active targeting effects of aptamer.
