ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To prep are Legumain enzyme and mitochondrial double-stage targeted harmine （HM） liposome （KA@HM-LPS）and preliminary evaluate its pharmaceutical properties ，in vitro antitumor effect and biocompatibility. METHODS Firstly，the preparation and homogenization methods of KA@HM-LPS was screened ，and prepared liposomes were characterized. Secondly，the serum stability ，in vitro release rate ，hemolysis percentage of KA@HM-LPS and cell survival rate under KA@BLPS were determines respectively. Finally ，the cell surivival rate ，mitochondrial targeting and inhibitory effects on cell migration and invasion of KA@HM-LPS were determined. RESULTS KA@HM-LPS was prepared by the thin-film dispersion method ，with encapsulation efficiency of （90.50 ± 0.62）％ . The extrusion moulding method was selected as homogenization method of KA@HM-LPS. The particle size ，polydispersity index ，and Zeta potential of KA@HM-LPS were （211.40±11.67）nm，0.316± 0.014 and（－14.20±0.49）mV，respectively. In 37 ℃，10％ FBS，the particle size of KA@HM-LPS kept stable after 12 h. In vitro release curve of KA@HM-LPS in 20％ plasma conformed to Weibull distribution and had the property of sustained release. When HM concentration was 160 μg/mL，the hemolysis percentage of KA@HM-LPS was （4.23±0.19）％，which was much lower than that of free HM ，with safety. When the mass concentration of KA@BLPS reaches 400 μg/mL，the survival rate of LO 2 cells was （94.40 ± 6.12）％ ，and the biocompatibility was good. Cell test results in vitro showed that ，inhibitory effect of KA@HM-LPS on liver cancer cells with overexpression of Legumain enzyme （LGMN -SK-Hep-1） was significantly higher than that of normal liver cancer cells SK-Hep- 1； compared with SK-Hep-1，LGMN +-SK-Hep-1 cells had a higher uptake efficiency of the liposome ；KA@HM-LPS could significantly inhibit the migration and invasion of LGMN +- SK-Hep-1 cells. CONCLUSIONS KA@HM-LPS is prepared successfully ，which can effectively inhibit the migration and invasion of liver cancer cells with Legumain enzyme overexpression ，and improve the blood compatibility of HM.
ABSTRACT
To construct, express and purify Exendin-4 analogue and detect its biological activity in vivo. Insert gene sequence into fusion partner ofpED plasmid which is helped to purification, entitled the new recombinant plasmid 5 Exendin-4 analogue polypeptide gene and fusion partner gene was linked by acid hydrolysisgene, transformed to E. coli BL21 and the fusion protein was induced by lactose. After acid hydrolysis, the Exendin-4 analogue polypeptide separated from fusion chaperon. Anion charge chromatography were used to further purification. 6 to 8 week-old ICR mice were injected (s.c) with Exendin-4 analogue, blood glucose and plasma insulin level was detected in different period after oral glucose tolerance test. The results show that high expression of inclusion body was induced by lactose, which accounted for 40% of germ proteins, the Exendin-4 analogue was obtained with the purity of 91.8% after being purified by anion charge chromatography. Bioactivity assay showed that the level of blood glucose of mouse which treated with exendin-4 analogue was obviously decreased to normal (P < 0.01), and the level of plasma insulin was increased obviously (P < 0.01).
