Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are highly reactive products of the cell metabolism derived from oxygen molecules, and their abundant level is observed in many diseases, particularly tumors, such as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In vivo imaging of ROS is a necessary tool in preclinical research to evaluate the efficacy of drugs with antioxidant activity and for diagnosis and monitoring of diseases. However, most known sensors cannot be used for in vivo experiments due to low stability in the blood and rapid elimination from the body. In this work, we focused on the development of an effective delivery system of fluorescent probes for intravital ROS visualization using the HCC model. We have synthesized various lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) loaded with ROS-inducible hydrocyanine pro-fluorescent dye or plasmid DNA (pDNA) with genetically encoded protein sensors of hydrogen peroxide (HyPer7). LNP with an average diameter of 110 ± 12 nm, characterized by increased stability and pDNA loading efficiency (64 ± 7%), demonstrated preferable accumulation in the liver compared to 170 nm LNPs. We evaluated cytotoxicity and demonstrated the efficacy of hydrocyanine-5 and HyPer7 formulated in LNP for ROS visualization in mouse hepatocytes (AML12 cells) and in the mouse xenograft model of HCC. Our results demonstrate that obtained LNP could be a valuable tool in preclinical research for visualization ROS in liver diseases.
活性氧(ROS)是细胞代谢过程中由氧分子产生的高反应性产物,在许多疾病尤其是肿瘤如肝细胞癌(HCC)中可观察到其丰度升高。ROS的体内成像在临床前研究中是评估具有抗氧化活性药物疗效以及疾病诊断和监测的必要工具。然而,由于在血液中稳定性低且从体内快速清除,大多数已知传感器无法用于体内实验。在这项工作中,我们专注于开发一种有效的荧光探针递送系统,用于使用HCC模型在活体中可视化ROS。我们合成了各种负载ROS诱导型氢氰酸前荧光染料或带有过氧化氢基因编码蛋白传感器(HyPer7)的质粒DNA(pDNA)的脂质纳米颗粒(LNP)。平均直径为110±12 nm的LNP,其稳定性和pDNA负载效率(64±7%)提高,与170 nm的LNP相比,在肝脏中表现出更好的积累。我们评估了细胞毒性,并证明了LNP中配制的氢氰酸-5和HyPer7在小鼠肝细胞(AML12细胞)和HCC小鼠异种移植模型中用于ROS可视化的功效。我们的结果表明,所获得的LNP可能是肝脏疾病中ROS可视化临床前研究的有价值工具。
