開發(fā)滿足不同特定需求的功能材料在生物醫(yī)學(xué)中應(yīng)用具有重大的挑戰(zhàn)性。樹枝狀聚合物,憑借其精確的結(jié)構(gòu)和多價(jià)協(xié)同性,是定制精密功能材料典范。近日,法國(guó)國(guó)家科學(xué)研究中心-馬賽跨學(xué)科納米研究中心與中國(guó)藥科大學(xué)合作并成功開發(fā)了一種基于bola型兩親性樹形分子(bola-amphiphilic dendrimers)的精確載體平臺(tái), 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(jié)果發(fā)表在綜合性期刊Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the U.

合作團(tuán)隊(duì)設(shè)計(jì)和開發(fā)了不同代數(shù)的bola型兩親性樹形分子并對(duì)其遞送不同核酸分子的能力進(jìn)行了研究。結(jié)果表明,bola樹形分子的代數(shù)、核酸分子的大小以及bola樹形分子與核酸分子之間多價(jià)協(xié)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(shù)的bola8A能更有效地將大尺寸質(zhì)粒DNA 壓縮成小的納米復(fù)合物,顯著提高了DNA在靶細(xì)胞的攝取,展現(xiàn)出更為優(yōu)異的DNA轉(zhuǎn)染活性;較低代數(shù)的bola4A則在有效保護(hù)短鏈siRNA分子的同時(shí),能更高效地促進(jìn)siRNA 的胞內(nèi)釋放,進(jìn)而發(fā)揮強(qiáng)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(gòu)建的核酸藥物遞送系統(tǒng)能選擇性富集在腫瘤組織,并在腫瘤細(xì)胞內(nèi)ROS刺激下特異性地釋放核酸,實(shí)現(xiàn)核酸藥物在腫瘤細(xì)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(zhuǎn)移模型中,均表現(xiàn)出可媲美商業(yè)化載體的核酸遞送效率,能夠精準(zhǔn)調(diào)控致病基因的表達(dá),發(fā)揮高效的抗腫瘤活性和抗腫瘤轉(zhuǎn)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。
