Proteins are great therapeutic candidates as endogenous biomolecules providing a wide range of applications. However, their delivery suffers from some limitations and specifically designed delivery systems having an efficient protein anchoring and delivery strategy are still needed. In this work, we propose to combine large pore stellate mesoporous silica (STMS) with isobutyramide (IBAM), as a "glue" molecule which has been shown promising for immobilization of various biomacromolecules at silica surface. We address here for the first time the ability of such IBAM-modified NPs to sustainably deliver proteins over a prolonged time. In this work, a quantitative loading study of proteins (serum albumin (HSA), peroxidase (HRP), immunoglobulin (IgG) and polylysine (PLL)) on STMS@IBAM is first presented using three complementary detection techniques to ensure precision and avoid protein quantification issues. The results demonstrated a high loading capacity for HSA and HRP (≥ 350 μg.mg) but a moderate one for IgG and PLL. After evaluating the physicochemical properties of the loaded particles and their stability over scaling-up and washings, the ability of STMS@IBAM to release proteins over prolonged time was evaluated in equilibrium (static) and flow mimicking (dynamic) conditions and at different temperatures (25, 37, 45 °C). Results show not only the potential of such "glue" functionalized STMS to release proteins in a sustained way, but also the retention of the biological activity of immobilized and released HRP, used as an enzyme model. Finally, an AFM-force spectroscopy study was conducted to decipher the interactions between IBAM and proteins, showing the involvement of different interactions in the adsorption and release processes.
蛋白质作为内源性生物分子,具有广泛的应用,是很好的治疗候选物。然而,它们的递送存在一些局限性,仍然需要具有高效蛋白质锚定和递送策略的专门设计的递送系统。在这项工作中,我们建议将大孔星状介孔二氧化硅(STMS)与异丁酰胺(IBAM)结合,异丁酰胺作为一种“胶水”分子,已被证明在二氧化硅表面固定各种生物大分子方面很有前景。我们首次在此研究了这种IBAM修饰的纳米颗粒在长时间内可持续递送蛋白质的能力。在这项工作中,首先使用三种互补的检测技术对STMS@IBAM上的蛋白质(血清白蛋白(HSA)、过氧化物酶(HRP)、免疫球蛋白(IgG)和聚赖氨酸(PLL))进行定量负载研究,以确保精度并避免蛋白质定量问题。结果表明,HSA和HRP具有高负载能力(≥350μg.mg),而IgG和PLL的负载能力中等。在评估了负载颗粒的物理化学性质及其在放大和洗涤过程中的稳定性后,在平衡(静态)和流动模拟(动态)条件下以及不同温度(25、37、45°C)下评估了STMS@IBAM在长时间内释放蛋白质的能力。结果不仅表明这种“胶水”功能化的STMS具有持续释放蛋白质的潜力,还表明用作酶模型的固定化和释放的HRP的生物活性得以保留。最后,进行了原子力显微镜力谱研究,以破译IBAM与蛋白质之间的相互作用,表明不同的相互作用参与了吸附和释放过程。
