開發滿足不同特定需求的功能材料在生物醫學中應用具有重大的挑戰性。樹枝狀聚合物,憑借其精確的結構和多價協同性,是定制精密功能材料典范。近日,法國國家科學研究中心-馬賽跨學科納米研究中心與中國藥科大學合作并成功開發了一種基于bola型兩親性樹形分子(bola-amphiphilic dendrimers)的精確載體平臺, 可選擇性遞送不同類型核酸藥物(siRNA和DNA)(Figure 1),用于腫瘤治療。結果發表在綜合性期刊Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the U. S. A.(DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2220787120)
合作團隊設計和開發了不同代數的bola型兩親性樹形分子并對其遞送不同核酸分子的能力進行了研究。結果表明,bola樹形分子的代數、核酸分子的大小以及bola樹形分子與核酸分子之間多價協同作用在很大程度上影響其選擇性遞送核酸分子的能力。例如,更高代數的bola8A能更有效地將大尺寸質粒DNA 壓縮成小的納米復合物,顯著提高了DNA在靶細胞的攝取,展現出更為優異的DNA轉染活性;較低代數的bola4A則在有效保護短鏈siRNA分子的同時,能更高效地促進siRNA 的胞內釋放,進而發揮強有力的基因沉默效果 (Figure 2)。此外, 該類bola兩親性樹形分子所構建的核酸藥物遞送系統能選擇性富集在腫瘤組織,并在腫瘤細胞內ROS刺激下特異性地釋放核酸,實現核酸藥物在腫瘤細胞的靶向遞送。更令人欣喜的是,上述遞送體系在宮頸癌和卵巢癌異種移植小鼠腫瘤模型、以及高侵襲性的黑色素瘤和三陰性乳腺癌轉移模型中,均表現出可媲美商業化載體的核酸遞送效率,能夠精準調控致病基因的表達,發揮高效的抗腫瘤活性和抗腫瘤轉移效果 (Figure 3)。本研究成果彰顯了bola型兩親性樹形分子作為按需定制核酸藥物遞送載體的巨大潛力。
