Appropriate carriers or templates are crucial for maintaining the stability, biological activity, and bioavailability of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs). Selecting suitable templates remains challenging for fully utilizing SeNPs functionalities and developing applicable products. Exosome-like nanoparticles (ELNs) have gained importance in drug delivery systems, yet research on selenium products prepared using exosomes remains limited. To address this gap, we utilized Cyperus bean ELNs to deliver SeNPs, investigated three preparation methods for SeNPs-ELNs, identified the optimal approach, and performed characterization studies. Notably, all three methods successfully loaded SeNPs. Ultrasonic cell fragmentation is the optimal approach, achieving significant increases in selenium loading (5.59 ± 0.167 ng/μg), enlargement of particle size (431.17 ± 10.78 nm), and reduced absolute zeta potential (-4.1 ± 0.43 mV). Moreover, both exosome formulations demonstrated enhanced stability against aggregation during storage at 4 °C, while their stability varied with pH conditions. In vitro digestibility tests showed greater stability of SeNP-ELNs in digestive fluids compared to ELNs alone. Additionally, neither ELNs nor SeNP-ELNs exhibited cytotoxicity toward LO cells, and the relative erythrocyte hemolysis remained below 5% at protein concentrations of 2.5, 7.5, 15, 30, and 60 μg/mL. Overall, ultrasonic cell fragmentation effectively loaded plant-derived exosomes with nano-selenium at high capacity, presenting new opportunities for their use as functional components in food and pharmaceutical applications.
合适的载体或模板对于维持硒纳米颗粒(SeNPs)的稳定性、生物活性和生物利用度至关重要。选择合适的模板对于充分利用SeNPs的功能和开发适用产品仍然具有挑战性。类外泌体纳米颗粒(ELNs)在药物递送系统中变得越来越重要,但关于使用外泌体制备的硒产品的研究仍然有限。为了填补这一空白,我们利用香附子豆ELNs来递送SeNPs,研究了三种制备SeNPs-ELNs的方法,确定了最佳方法,并进行了表征研究。值得注意的是,所有三种方法都成功地负载了SeNPs。超声细胞破碎是最佳方法,可使硒负载量显著增加(5.59±0.167 ng/μg),粒径增大(431.17±10.78 nm),绝对zeta电位降低(-4.1±0.43 mV)。此外,两种外泌体制剂在4℃储存期间均表现出增强的抗聚集稳定性,而它们的稳定性随pH条件而变化。体外消化试验表明,与单独的ELNs相比,SeNP-ELNs在消化液中的稳定性更高。此外,ELNs和SeNP-ELNs对LO细胞均未表现出细胞毒性,在蛋白质浓度为2.5、7.5、15、30和60μg/mL时,相对红细胞溶血率均低于5%。总体而言,超声细胞破碎能够有效地将植物来源的外泌体高容量地负载纳米硒,为其作为食品和药物应用中的功能成分提供了新的机会。
