DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] The implementation plan of the disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the examples, but those skilled in the art will understand that the following examples are intended to illustrate the disclosure and are not to be considered as limiting the scope of the disclosure. Those which are not specified with specific conditions in the examples are carried out according to conventional conditions or conditions recommended by manufacturers. Any reagents or instruments that are not indicated with the manufacturers are commercially available products.

Example 1: Preparation of Drug DOX@Gal-PCN-224

[0039] 10 mL of DMF solution of ZrOCl.sub.2.8H.sub.2O (15 mg/mL), 20 mL of DMF solution of TCPP (2.5 mg/mL) and 20 mL of DMF solution of benzoic acid (70 mg/mL) were added into a round-bottom flask respectively. 4 mL of aqueous solution of doxorubicin (6 mg/mL) was added into the round-bottom flask while stirring. The mixed solution was then stirred at 90° C. for 5 hours, and then precipitate was collected by centrifugation and washed with DMF and water three times respectively. Finally, the precipitate was dried in a vacuum drying oven to obtain a powder product DOX@PCN-224.

[0040] The obtained product DOX@PCN-224 was dissolved in water to prepare a 1 mg/mL aqueous solution. 20 mL of aqueous solution of DOX@PCN-224 and 2 mL of aqueous solution of COOH-PEG-COOH (5 mg/mL, and M.sub.w of the COOH-PEG-COOH=1K, 2 mL) were added to the round-bottom flask. The mixed solution was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours, and then precipitate was collected by centrifugation and washed with water three times. Finally, the precipitate was dried in a vacuum drying oven to obtain carboxyl-modified DOX@PCN-224.

[0041] The carboxyl-modified DOX@PCN-224 (15 mg), amino-modified galactose (10 mg), 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC.HCl, 17 mg) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS, 10 mg) were dissolved in 10 mL of water, and the mixed solution was stirred at room temperature for 48 hours. Then precipitate was collected by centrifugation and washed with water three times. Finally, the precipitate was dried in a vacuum drying oven to obtain a powder product DOX@Gal-PCN-224. The drug loading ratio of DOX is 14.2%. (Drug loading ratio=total amount of DOX loaded/total amount of material product)

Example 2: Characterization of DOX@Gal-PCN-224

[0042] The particle size distribution of the DOX@Gal-PCN-224 prepared in Example 1 was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), transmission electron microscopy element analysis, scanning electron microscopy element mapping, ultraviolet-visible absorption spectrum analysis and dynamic light scattering technology.

[0043] It can be seen from FIG. 1 that the prepared DOX@Gal-PCN-224 is uniformly distributed spherical nanoparticles with a particle size of 121 nm.

[0044] The stability of materials is an important prerequisite for the application of materials in biomedicine. It can be seen from FIG. 2 that after the inorganic nanomaterial was incubated with water, a phosphate buffer solution (PBS) with pH of 7.4 and a medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum for 7 days, the particle size had no significant change, and it proves that the inorganic nanomaterial has good stability.

Example 3: Acid-Sensitive Release of DOX@Gal-PCN-224

[0045] 10 mg of inorganic nanomaterial DOX@Gal-PCN-224 was placed in 20 mL of PBS buffer solutions with pH 7.4 and 5.6, respectively. The mixture was stirred at 37° C. Supernate was taken at a fixed time point to measure the absorbance at 480 nm. Then the sample was returned to an original release system. The release percentage of the DOX was calculated according to the formula: release percentage (%)=m.sub.r/m.sub.l, where m.sub.r is the amount of DOX released and m.sub.l is the total amount of DOX loaded (1.42 mg).

[0046] The release results are shown in FIG. 3. The inorganic nanomaterial remains stable under an imitated physiological condition (pH 7.4), and slightly releases 15.8% of DOX after being incubated for 120 hours. Under an acidic condition (pH 5.6), the release rate of DOX is relatively fast (being 25.7% after 12 hours, 55.4% after 48 hours, and 65.0% after 120 hours). Therefore, drug delivery based on DOX@Gal-MOF can be used for the targeted treatment of tumors with DOX release in response to pH.

Example 4: Experiment of Cytotoxicity of DOX@Gal-PCN-224

[0047] Human hepatoma cells HepG2 and Huh7, and human embryonic kidney cells HEK293 were inoculated on a 96-well plate at the density of 8×10.sup.3 per well. After being incubated for 48 hours, the cells grew steadily in the well plate, and the inorganic nanomaterial DOX@Gal-PCN-224 in Example 1 was added to each of wells at the concentration of 0, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 and 120 μg/mL respectively. After the materials and the cells were co-incubated for 48 hours, the medium was removed. The cells were washed three times with PBS. Then 100 μL of medium containing 0.5 mg/mL MTT without addition of phenol red was added into each well, and then 100 μL of DMSO was added into each well. For the developed 96-well plate, the absorbance values (λ=490 nm) of all wells in the plate were detected using a microplate reader. Six parallel experiments were repeated for each sample. The cell group not subjected to the effect of the material was defined to have 100% cell viability, and the well with only the DMSO solution but no cells was defined as a blank control to correct the absorbance values in each well.

[0048] FIG. 4 shows the results of the cytotoxicity of the inorganic nanomaterial DOX@Gal-PCN-224. The results show that, in the concentration range of the inorganic nanomaterial in Example 1 of 0-120 μg/mL, the survival rate of the three kinds of cells is greater than 80%, and it indicates that the inorganic nanomaterial has low toxicity and good biocompatibility.

Example 5: Verification of Capability of Drug DOX@Gal-PCN-224 of Specifically Targeting and Recognizing Asialoglycoprotein Receptors on Surfaces of Hepatoma Cells HepG2 and Huh7 by Laser Confocal Experiment

[0049] Human hepatoma cells HepG2 and Huh7, and human embryonic kidney cells HEK293 were respectively inoculated in a laser confocal culture dish (35 mm) at the density of 8×10.sup.4 per well. After culturing for 12 hours, 1 mM of galactose was added in a galactose competition group. After culturing for 24 hours, the medium was removed and the cells were washed three times with PBS. Then a medium containing 20 μg/mL DOX@Gal-PCN-224 was added and incubated for 3 hours. The medium was removed and the cells were washed three times with PBS. Then 4% paraformaldehyde was added for immobilization at room temperature for 15 min. Then nuclei were stained with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) for 15 min. Finally, after rinsing with PBS, the cells were observed under confocal laser.

[0050] It can be seen from FIG. 5 that in HepG2 and Huh7 cells, obvious fluorescence from the inorganic nanomaterials DOX and TCPP can be seen, while almost no fluorescence is observed in COS7 and HEK293 cells. Also, with the galactose competition, no fluorescence of DOX and TCPP is observed in the HepG2 and Huh7 cells. The experiment proves that the DOX@Gal-PCN-224 inorganic nanomaterial can recognize and enter the HepG2 and Huh7 cells through the galactose-asialoglycoprotein receptor.

Example 6: Verification of Capability of Drug DOX@Gal-PCN-224 of Specifically Targeting and Recognizing Asialoglycoprotein Receptors on Surfaces of Hepatoma Cells HepG2 and Huh7 by Flow Cytometry

[0051] HepG2, Huh7 and HEK293 cells were inoculated in a 24-well plate at the density of 2×10.sup.5 cells per well respectively. After culturing for 12 hours, 1 mM of galactose was added to the galactose competition group. After culturing for 24 hours, the cell density reached 90%. After the medium was removed and the cells were washed three times with PBS, the three kinds of cells were incubated with a medium containing 20 μg/mL DOX@Gal-PCN-224 for 3 hours. Then the cells were digested with pancreatin and centrifuged for 3 min at the rotating speed of 1000 rpm, supernate was discarded, and gathered cells were resuspended with PBS and then blown off. The centrifugation process was repeated three times to remove residual medium and the inorganic nanomaterial to reduce interference to fluorescence detection. Finally, the cells were dispersed with PBS and placed in a flow type tube, and fluorescence intensity of the cells in each group was detected using flow cytometry.

[0052] As shown in FIG. 6, under different environments, the speed of the DOX@Gal-PCN-224 inorganic nanomaterial entering the HEK293 cells is basically the same and basically has no difference from the control group not treated with the DOX@Gal-PCN-224. This is due to the low expression of the asialoglycoprotein receptor on the surface of the HEK293 cells, and the inorganic nanomaterial cannot rapidly enter the cells by endocytosis targeted and mediated by the surface galactose-asialoglycoprotein receptor. However, in different environments, the speed of the DOX@Gal-PCN-224 inorganic nanomaterial entering the HepG2 and Huh7 cells is significantly different. In the case where the surface asialoglycoprotein receptor is pre-saturated, the DOX@Gal-PCN-224 inorganic nanomaterial cannot recognize the HepG2 and Huh7 cells via surface-linked galactose, and can only enter tumor cells through non-targeted endocytosis, so the fluorescence intensities of DOX and TCPP are low. However, for surface receptor-overexpressed cells, the DOX@Gal-PCN-224 inorganic nanomaterial can rapidly bind to the surface asialoglycoprotein receptors of the tumor cells via surface-linked galactose, and then enters the tumor cells via receptor-mediated endocytosis.

Example 7: Ability of Drug DOX@Gal-PCN-224 to Produce .SUP.1.O.SUB.2

[0053] The ability of the DOX@Gal-PCN-224 to produce .sup.1O.sub.2 in living cells was evaluated using 2′,7′-dichlorodihydrofluorescin diacetate (DCFH-DA). HepG2, Huh7 and HEK293 cells were incubated with the DOX@Gal-PCN-224 (20 μg/mL) for 3 hours. After the medium was removed, the cells were washed 3 times with PBS. Then the cells were incubated in a medium containing DCFH-DA (10 μM) and irradiated with a 660 nm LED light for 10 minutes. After being incubated for another 15 minutes at 37° C., the cells were washed 3 times with PBS, and a confocal microscope was used to excite and capture DCFH-DA stained fluorescent images at 488 nm. In the no light groups, except for light, the rest conditions were the same as above.

[0054] As can be seen from FIG. 7, HepG2 and Huh7 cells can produce .sup.1O.sub.2 after being irradiated, thus showing DCF green fluorescence. On the other hand, for HepG2 and Huh7 cells not exposed to light, only weak green fluorescence can be seen, and it indicates that without triggering by light, almost no .sup.1O.sub.2 is produced. No obvious green fluorescence can be seen in HEK293 cells regardless of whether the cells are irradiated or not. This is because only a small amount of inorganic nanomaterial enters the cells within 3 hours, and there is not enough photosensitizer to produce .sup.1O.sub.2.

Example 8: In Vitro Therapeutic Effect of Drug DOX@Gal-PCN-224

[0055] The in vitro therapeutic effect of the inorganic nanomaterial DOX@Gal-PCN-224 was detected by the live and death staining method and the corresponding MTT experiment.

[0056] Human hepatoma cells Huh7 were inoculated in a laser confocal culture dish (35 mm) at the density of 8×10.sup.4 per well. After culturing for 24 hours, the cells were incubated with a medium containing 10 μg/mL DOX, 60 μg/mL PCN-224, 70 μg/mL DOX@PCN-224 (with the drug loading ratio of 14.2, and the DOX content of about 10 μg/mL) or 70 μg/mL DOX@Gal-PCN-224 (with the drug loading ratio of 14.2, and the DOX content of about 10 μg/mL) respectively for 24 hours. Then the light group was irradiated with a 660 nm light source for 10 min. After incubating for 24 hours, Calcein-AM/PI live and dead co-staining was performed. Finally, the cells were observed under the confocal laser. After the same treatment, the therapeutic effect of each group was further quantified by the MTT experiment.

[0057] The live and dead staining laser confocal image is shown in FIG. 8. Green fluorescence indicates live cells and red fluorescence indicates dead cells. In the PBS control group, only green fluorescence is observed regardless of light, and it indicates that there is almost no apoptosis. In the DOX chemotherapy group, only sporadic red fluorescence is observed regardless of light, and it indicates that chemotherapy alone can only cause apoptosis of a small amount of Huh7 cells. In the PCN-224 photodynamic therapy group, when no light is applied, there is almost no red fluorescence observed; after the light is applied, a certain amount of red fluorescence is observed, and it indicates that some cells have apoptosis due to the photodynamic therapy. In the DOX@PCN-224 chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy synergistic treatment group, when no light is applied, some cells have apoptosis, which is caused by chemotherapy; after the light is applied, a large amount of cells have apoptosis, and it indicates that the synergistic treatment of chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy aggravates cell apoptosis. In the DOX@Gal-PCN-224 targeted chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy synergistic treatment group, when no light is applied, a large amount of cells still have apoptosis, and it reflects the effect of targeted chemotherapy; after the light is applied, almost no green fluorescence can be seen, and it indicates that almost all cells have apoptosis caused by the targeted synergistic treatment, and further shows the advantage of the targeted synergistic treatment of the disclosure.

[0058] The MTT results are shown in Table 1. The cell survival rate of each experimental group is consistent with the results of live and dead staining, and it further verifies the in vitro therapeutic effect of the inorganic nanomaterial DOX@Gal-PCN-224. The metal-organic frameworks have basically no inhibitory effect, but after loading DOX, the metal-organic frameworks can cooperate with DOX to promote the inhibitory effect.

Example 9: In Vivo Distribution Effect of Drug DOX@Gal-PCN-224

[0059] In order to achieve a better fluorescence imaging effect, the inorganic nanomaterials were first modified with rhodamine B (RhB), and were denoted as DOX@PCN-224-RhB and DOX@Gal-PCN-224-RhB.

[0060] To construct subcutaneous solid tumor mouse models, male BALB/c nude mice with the average weight of 14-17 g at the age of 4 weeks were inoculated with 0.1 mL of 6×10.sup.6 cells/mL PBS at the right gluteus. After four weeks, when the tumor size exceeded 200 mm.sup.3 (volume=0.52×tumor length×tumor width.sup.2), the mice were divided into 2 groups with 5 mice in each group. The DOX@PCN-224-RhB (0.1 mL 0.4 mg/mL) and DOX@Gal-PCN-224-RhB (0.1 mL 0.4 mg/mL) were injected into the tail vein respectively. The fluorescence signal of RhB was detected by a small animal imager (Bruker In Vivo Xtreme II) at set time points (3, 6, 12, 24, 48 hours). Then the mice were sacrificed, the heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney were isolated, and the RhB fluorescence signal of each organ was detected.

[0061] The in vivo imaging results are shown in FIG. 9. The experimental group injected with the DOX@Gal-PCN-224-RhB is named the targeted group, and the experimental group injected with the DOX@PCN-224-RhB is named the non-targeted group. It can be observed from FIG. 9A that compared with the non-targeted group, and the targeted group has a better concentration effect at the tumor site. 3 hours and 6 hours after the tail vein injection, it can be observed that the inorganic nanomaterials of both the targeted group and the non-targeted group have spread all over the mice. 12 hours and 24 hours after tail vein injection in the targeted group, more obvious fluorescence is observed at the tumor site, and it indicates that due to the targeting effect, more inorganic nanomaterials enter the tumor site. 48 hours after the tail vein injection, it is observed that the fluorescence in the whole body weakens, and it indicates that the inorganic nanomaterials are gradually metabolized during circulation in the body. FIG. 9B is an image of organs isolated at various time points, which also reflects the same trend. From this it can be concluded that the targeted inorganic nanomaterial is more likely to accumulate at the tumor site and stays longer at the tumor site.

Example 10: Inhibition of Tumor Growth in Subcutaneous Solid Tumor Mouse Models with Drug DOX@Gal-PCN-224

[0062] When the subcutaneous tumor size of the mice exceeded 50 mm.sup.3, the mice were randomly divided into 9 groups with 5 mice in each group: (1) saline, (2) free DOX saline (2 mg/kg), (3) free DOX+660 nm laser (2 mg/kg), (4) PCN-224 (12 mg/kg), (5) PCN-224+660 nm laser (12 mg/kg), (6) DOX@PCN-224 (14 mg/kg), (7) DOX@PCN-224+660 nm laser (14 mg/kg), (8) DOX@Gal-PCN-224 (14 mg/kg), and (9) DOX@Gal-PCN-224+660 nm laser (14 mg/kg). The day before the first tail vein injection was set to “Day 0”. At the specified time points (days 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, and 19), the mice in the above experimental groups were subjected to tail vein injection. For the light groups, the tumor site was irradiated with a light source of 660 nm (20 mW/cm.sup.2) for 10 minutes on the 2, 8 and 14 days. At the specified time points (days 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, and 21), the tumor volume and mouse body weight of the experimental groups were measured.

[0063] As shown in FIG. 10, the DOX@Gal-PCN-224+660 nm laser, DOX@Gal-PCN-224 and DOX@PCN-224+660 nm laser groups have good tumor growth inhibition effects. The tumor inhibition efficiency was calculated based on the tumor volume data of each group obtained on the last day of the experiment (tumor inhibition efficiency=(1−average tumor volume of the experimental group/average tumor volume of the saline control group)×100%), where the DOX@Gal-PCN-224+660 nm laser group has the highest inhibition efficiency of 97.8%. It can be concluded that DOX@Gal-PCN-224+660 nm laser can inhibit tumor growth maximally.

Example 11: Inhibition of Tumor Growth in Tumor In Situ Mouse Models with Drug DOX@Ga l-PCN-224

[0064] To construct mouse models with tumor in situ, the isolated subcutaneous tumor tissue was cut into small tissue masses with the size of 2 mm×3 mm×3 mm, and the small tissue masses were placed in an inoculating needle and inoculated into the Glisson's capsule of the mouse liver. Two weeks after the tumor in situ model was constructed, the tumor in situ-bearing mice were randomly divided into 9 groups with 5 mice in each group. The groups and administration time are consistent with the subcutaneous tumor experiment, and the mouse body weight measurement time is also consistent with the subcutaneous tumor experiment. On the 11th day, a 660 nm light source was introduced to the surface of the tumor in situ using an optical fiber for irradiation for 10 min. On the 20th day, the livers of all experimental mice were subjected to T.sub.1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (Aspect Imaging, Israel).

[0065] As shown in FIG. 11, from the T.sub.1-weighted MRI image and the tumor in situ image, it can be seen that the tumor area can hardly be seen in the DOX@Gal-PCN-224+660 nm laser group, and is the smallest among all the experimental groups, and it indicates that the DOX@Gal-PCN-224+660 nm laser group has the highest tumor inhibition efficiency, and the result is consistent with the tumor inhibition effect of the subcutaneous tumor models.
