Description

Technical field:

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of gene therapy in the medical field, and in particular is an application of overexpression of normal genes to restore hereditary hearing loss caused by gene mutation or deletion. Background technology:

[0002] The ear is a vital organ in the human body, consisting of the outer ear, middle ear, and inner ear. Its primary function is to perceive sound and maintain balance. Abnormal ear function can lead to a range of bodily problems, including deafness, tinnitus, and vertigo.

[0003] Deafness is a common hearing disorder that can be categorized as either congenital or acquired, and is often linked to both genetic and environmental factors. Congenital deafness affects 2 in every 1,000 births, and 50-60% of these cases are caused by gene mutations. Deafness caused by gene mutations can be categorized as dominant or recessive. Dominant deafness genes include ACTG1, CCDC50, CD164, CEACAM16, and DIAPH1, while recessive deafness genes include CLDN14, PJVK, GRXCR1, MYO7A, MYO6, MYO3A, MYO15A, OTOF, OTOG, OTOA, STRC, TMC1, SLC22A4, SLC26A4, SLC26A5, TECTA, GJB2, and GJB6. The discovery of these deafness genes provides potential targets for the precise treatment of hereditary deafness. Therefore, when the above genes cause deafness, gene therapy can be used as the preferred strategy for curing deafness.

[0004] Gene therapy refers to a method of correcting, compensating, or inhibiting the DNA or RNA level to restore the disease caused by abnormal nucleic acid sequence or expression in the body and achieve the purpose of treatment. Currently, most gene therapies require vector delivery, and adeno-associated virus (AAV) is one of the safe and efficient delivery vectors with a packaging capacity of approximately 4.7Kb. However, in the field of deafness, the length of many gene coding regions is not suitable for AAV packaging, such as BDP1, CDH23, COL11A2, LOXHD1, MET, MYO15A, MYO3A, MYO7A, OTOG, OTOF, OTOGL, PCDH15, PTPRQ, STRC, TECTA, TARA, etc. Their coding regions are all longer than 4kb, and together with the related regulatory elements, they will exceed the packaging limit of AAV vectors. Although the use of DNA recombinant dual vectors has solved this problem, the in vivo recombination efficiency of DNA recombinant dual vector packaging is low.

[0005] Among the deafness-related genes with coding sequence length greater than 4kb, OTOF plays an important role in hearing. OTOF protein is mainly expressed in the inner ear hair cells of the cochlea, and its main function is to bind calcium ions (Ca 2+ ) and initiates the release of downstream neurotransmitters. Deletion or loss-of-function mutations in the OTOF gene can cause deafness in DFNB9.

[0006] The OTOF gene (NCBI Gene ID: 9381) has different transcripts after transcription, including isoform 1 (NM_194248.3), isoform 2 (NM_004802.4), isoform 3 (NM_194322.3), isoform 4 (NM_194323.3), and isoform 5 (NM_001287489.2). They all originate from different splicing forms of the same RNA, with the splicing form associated with hearing in inner ear hair cells being isoform 1 or isoform 5. Both transcripts have a CDS region length of 5994 base pairs and encode a protein of 1997 amino acids.

[0007] For congenital deafness caused by OTOF gene mutations, although AAV has the characteristics of non-integration in delivery, long expression time, and low immunogenicity, it is the preferred delivery vehicle, but the AAV packaging capacity is less than 4.7kb, and there is a packaging limitation problem, which cannot meet the packaging of the OTOF gene (the total length of the OTOF gene plus the regulatory sequence exceeds 7kb). In order to solve the packaging problem of OTOF, there are currently three main methods. One is overload packaging, which mainly uses this method to package a gene expression element with a length of 7.5kb into an AAV virus and inject it into the cochlea of ​​mice. After a period of action, it can be observed that about 30% of the inner ear hair cells express OTOF protein, and the hearing of the mice is restored to about 58dB. However, overload packaging has the problems of low packaging efficiency, difficult product control and low transfection efficiency, and is not the best solution. The second approach is to shorten the coding sequence required for a functional OTOF. OTOF is a C2 domain protein composed of six C2 domains (A, B, C, D, E, and F) and a TEM domain. Studies have found that mini-OTOFs composed of several of these domains can partially restore OTOF function, but cannot restore hearing in animals. The third approach is to use a dual-vector approach for DNA recombination to produce full-length mature OTOF mRNA and complete protein translation. This can be categorized into overlapping, trans-splicing, or a combination of overlapping and trans-splicing.

[0008] Although DNA recombination strategies can yield a full-length, functional OTOF protein (otoferlin), this strategy suffers from suboptimal recombination efficiency, hindering protein expression and accumulation. To overcome this issue, protein recombination, particularly intein-mediated protein trans-splicing, offers rapid and efficient recombination. Inteins were first discovered in fungi and yeast and have subsequently been found in a variety of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and archaea. Inteins can form both intramolecular and intermolecular protein linkages. Intermolecular linkages can be achieved using naturally separated inteins or artificially separated pre-existing intramolecular inteins. When the N- and C-termini of an intein are linked to the C- and N-termini of the target protein, respectively, the electrophilic group of the second moiety attacks the nucleophilic group of the first moiety, forming a covalent bond and, through conformational modification, forming a complete two-part linked protein. Molecular design requires that the first amino acid of the C-terminus be serine, threonine, or cysteine.

[0009] Given the potential for improved protein recombination efficiency in dual vectors, the present invention proposes a protein-level recombination strategy to reconstruct deafness-related proteins. The method involves using AAV vectors and intein recombination to express OTOF proteins, thereby restoring abnormal gene function and achieving efficient expression. Summary of the invention:

[0010] The current method of using dual-vector AAV delivery and DNA recombination in the OTOF expression system has low recombination efficiency. At the same time, the current dual-vector delivery technology only achieves the expression of OTOF in the unilateral cochlea and the restoration of unilateral hearing. If binaural hearing restoration is required, binaural cochlear injection must be performed. Therefore, the second injection means inconvenience to the patient and increased risk. In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention will provide a dual-vector system capable of expressing OTOF protein and an adeno-associated virus packaged thereby. This method can restore bilateral hearing by unilateral administration in the field of large-gene dual-vector delivery for deafness gene therapy.

[0096] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following is a further detailed description of this application in conjunction with specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this patent and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0097] The present invention achieves efficient expression of OTOF protein in the host through a dual-vector (or AAV dual-vector) delivery combined with Intein recombination, thereby achieving the recovery of deafness, hearing loss, or hearing dysfunction, while achieving the technical effect of restoring hearing in both ears through unilateral ear administration.

[0098] The present invention utilizes an intein recombination method to express the OTOF protein. The OTOF regions involved are: isoform 5 (NM_001287489.2), whose translated amino acid sequence is NP_001274418.1; and isoform 1 (NM_194248.3), whose translated amino acid sequence is NP_919224.1.

[0099] In some embodiments of the present invention, the target protein required for deafness restoration or improvement is OTOF as shown in SEQ ID NO.1 or SEQ ID NO.2. The target protein can also be a sequence with a similarity of 65%-100% to either SEQ ID NO.1 or 2, such as 99%, 98%, 97%, 96%, 95%, 90%, 85%, 80%, 75%, 70%, or 65%. At the same time, the protein may also have appropriate truncations, such as proteins with a length of 99%, 98%, 97%, 96%, 95%, 90%, 85%, 80%, 75%, 70%, 65%, or 60% of the full-length protein of either SEQ ID NO.1 or 2. The protein may also have appropriate insertions, such as proteins with a length of 101%, 102%, 103%, 104%, 105%, 110%, 115%, 120%, 125%, 130%, 135%, or 140% of the full-length protein. The relevant sequences have been organized into Table 1.

[0102] For the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO. 1 or 2, in addition to the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO. 3 or 4 corresponding thereto, codon optimization can also be performed, and the corresponding CAI can be 0.65-1.0, for example, 1.0, 0.99, 0.98, 0.97, 0.96, 0.95, 0.90, 0.85, 0.80, 0.75, 0.70 or 0.65.

[0103] In addition to the above-mentioned OTOF protein sequences from humans, OTOF protein sequences can also be selected from other animals, such as mice (protein sequences are NP_001273350.1, NP_001300696.1, NP_001093865.1 or NP_114081.2), rats (protein sequence is NP_001263649.1), pigs (protein sequence is XP_020943388.1) , monkey (protein sequence is XP_014967378.2, XP_014967379.2, XP_028687700.1, XP_014967380.2 or XP_028687701.1) and sequences with a similarity of 65%-100%, such as 99%, 98%, 97%, 96%, 95%, 90%, 85%, 80%, 75%, 70%, 65%.

[0104] Inteins can perform protein splicing, acting either after or during protein translation, covalently linking two distinct protein segments. Inteins were first discovered in yeast and molds. Sequence alignment and analysis predict that over 600 intein genes exist in viruses, bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotic microorganisms. Most inteins are complete proteins, while a small fraction have separate N- and C-termini, each attached to a portion of a protein. These separate N- and C-termini then recombine after translation, forming the complete protein through nucleophilic chemical reactions and conformational changes. In this application, inteins with separate N- and C-termini are preferred. Intein can be selected from MxeGyrA, pabPolIII, MjaKlbA, SspDnaB, SceVMA, SspDnaE, ​​NpuDnaE, ​​AvaDnaE, ​​CraDnaE, ​​CspDnaE, ​​CwaDnaE, ​​MchtDnaE, ​​OliDnaE, ​​TerDnaE, ​​gp41-1, gp41-8, IMPDH-1, RmaDnaB, etc. The amino acid sequences of some inteins used in the embodiments of the present invention are shown in Table 2:

[0105] Table 2 Partial Intein Amino Acid Sequences

[0106]

[0107] In this study, the target protein was assembled into two vectors using intein recombination. The OTOF was first divided into two segments, the N-terminus and the C-terminus, based on the split point. The separation criteria were: 1) compatibility with AAV packaging and 2) the first amino acid at the C-terminus was serine, threonine, or cysteine. The N-terminus of the intein was fused to the C-terminus of the OTOF protein, and the C-terminus of the intein was fused to the N-terminus of the OTOF protein.

[0108] Preferably, the OTOF protein is split into two segments with approximately equal lengths at the N-terminus and C-terminus, or the N-terminus / C-terminus length is 0.3-3, for example, the N-terminus length / C-terminus length is 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.2, 1.5, 1.7, 1.8, 2.0, 2.0, 2.5 or 3.0.

[0109] More preferably, the methods for splitting the N-terminus and C-terminus of the OTOF protein include but are not limited to those listed in Table 3 of Example 1.

[0110] More preferably, for the amino acid sequence of the OTOF protein shown in SEQ ID NO. 1 or 2, the N-terminus and the C-terminus are split into amino acids 1-827 and amino acids 828-1997, amino acids 1-930 and amino acids 931-1997, amino acids 1-954 and amino acids 955-1997, and amino acids 1-1130 and 1131-1997.

[0111] In the present invention, when the target protein is assembled into two vectors using the Intein method, a dual vector expressing the OTOF protein is constructed, and the dual vector includes two nucleotide sequences:

[0112] The first nucleotide sequence includes two ITR sequences and an expression cassette inserted between the ITR sequences. The second nucleotide sequence includes two ITR sequences and an expression cassette inserted between the ITR sequences. ITR is a sequence used for adeno-associated protein recognition and DNA packaging. It is also involved in the recovery and replication of the adeno-associated virus genome. The preferred ITR sequences are from AAV1, AAV2, AAV3, AAV4, AAV5, AAV6, AAV7, AAV8, AAV9, and ITR sequences with a similarity of 65%-100% to the above sequences, such as 99%, 98%, 97%, 96%, 95%, 90%, 85%, 80%, 75%, 70%, and 65%.

[0113] The N-terminus of the aforementioned Intein is fused to the C-terminus of the N-terminus of the OTOF protein, and the obtained sequence is constructed into the expression cassette of the first nucleotide sequence, so that the expression cassette of the first nucleotide sequence includes: a promoter, an OTOF N-terminus coding sequence, an Intein N-terminus coding sequence, and PolyA;

[0114] The C-terminus of the aforementioned Intein is fused to the N-terminus of the C-terminus of the OTOF protein, and the obtained sequence is constructed into the expression cassette of the second nucleotide sequence, so that the expression cassette of the second nucleotide sequence includes: a promoter, the C-terminal coding sequence of the Intein, the C-terminal coding sequence of the OTOF, and PolyA;

[0115] The first nucleotide sequence and the second nucleotide sequence mentioned above can be used in any order to construct the N-terminal or C-terminal sequence of OTOF.

[0116] In the present invention, the aforementioned promoter refers to a sequence capable of initiating transcription of a downstream target protein, typically used to recruit transcription factors and express the target protein in a specific spatial and temporal location. The promoter includes, but is not limited to, the following promoters: The promoter can be an RNA polymerase II promoter or an RNA polymerase III promoter. Promoters can also be classified as broadly expressed promoters, such as the CMV promoter and the CAG promoter. Promoters can also be tissue-specific promoters, preferably highly expressed in the ear, further highly expressed in the cochlea or vestibule, and further highly expressed in the cochlea. Tissue-specific promoters may be derived from partial or complete sequences 1-10,000 bp upstream of the transcription start site of the OTOF gene, as well as sequences with sequence similarity of 65%-100%, such as 99%, 98%, 97%, 96%, 95%, 90%, 85%, 80%, 75%, 70%, or 65%. Preferably, promoters suitable for the present invention include but are not limited to CAG promoter, CMV promoter, CBA promoter, UbC promoter, SFFV promoter, EF1α promoter, PGK promoter, or promoters corresponding to genes such as Myo7A, Myo15, Atoh1, POU4F3, Lhx3, Myo6, α9AchR, α10AchR, OTOF, etc.

[0117] PolyA refers to the adenine modification at the tail end of mRNA during maturation, which can make mRNA more stable. The PolyA sequence of the present invention includes AATAAA and its variants, including ATTAAA, AGTAAA, CATAAA, TATAAA, GATAAA, ACTAAA, AATATA, AAGAAA, AATGAA, AATCAA, AACAAA, AATCAA, AATCAA, AATTAGA, AATTAAA or AATAAG, etc.

[0118] The first or second nucleotide sequence may also contain one or more regulatory elements, such as two, three, four, five, etc. The regulatory elements in the first and second segments may be the same or different. These include but are not limited to the following regulatory elements: (1) for regulating the expression of the target protein, such as IRES, for initiating the translation of downstream genes. IRES is a sequence that can initiate protein translation within mRNA. For example, IRES can be derived from viruses such as FMDV, EMCV, HRV, HIV, HAV, HCV, and PV; (2) regulatory elements for expressing miRNA and siRNA sequences; (3) introns; (4) localization sequences, for localizing the expression of the target protein to the nucleus, cytoplasm, or various organelles, and for secretion outside the cell; (5) sequences that accelerate protein degradation, such as PEST sequences; (6) the regulatory element may also be a partial kozak sequence. The kozak sequence is GNCNCN, such as GCCACC. (7) Enhancers refer to sequences that can enhance gene expression, such as CMV enhancers, SV40 virus enhancers, or adenovirus enhancers. They may be upstream, downstream, or within the target gene, may or may not be tissue-specific, and may or may not transcribe eRNA. (8) Regulatory elements may be WPREs.

[0119] The first or second nucleotide sequence may also contain one or more tags, such as two, three, four, or five tags. The tags in the first and second segments may be the same or different. Examples include FLAG, HA, MYC, fluorescent protein, luciferase, etc., and may also be used to improve protein properties, such as SUMO protein, ubiquitin protein, GST, etc.

[0120] The first or second nucleotide sequence constructed above can be a plasmid, but can also be other forms of linear or circular nucleic acids, which can be selected through appropriate expression and regulatory elements to co-express the N-terminus and C-terminus of the target protein in cells, tissues, organs and individuals. The preferred scope of this patent is expression in the cochlea. Preferably, the present invention uses a plasmid containing ITRs, including pAAV, pAAV-CMV, pX601, pX551, pAAV-MCS, etc., to load the target gene expression cassette and then perform AAV packaging.

[0121] When the first and second nucleotide sequences constructed above are viral vectors, they can be used for any form of AAV packaging. The first and second nucleotide sequences are respectively combined with a vector carrying the AAV rep and cap genes and a helper virus vector and then packaged into a host cell to obtain an adeno-associated virus; the host cell is a cell line capable of viral replication and stable inheritance, including but not limited to Hela-S3, HEK-293, HEK-293T, HEK-293FT, A549 or Sf9 cells, preferably HEK-293 or HEK-293T cells. The AAV virus sample obtained by packaging may contain empty shell viruses, and the empty shell virus content may be 0%-99%, for example, 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, preferably 0%-50%.

[0122] The viruses obtained by the above packaging method are a pair of adeno-associated viruses, which are respectively packaged with the N-terminal coding sequence of OTOF and the N-terminal coding sequence of Intein, as well as the C-terminal coding sequence of Intein and the C-terminal coding sequence of OTOF. The above pair of adeno-associated viruses can co-express the N-terminus and C-terminus of the target protein into cells, tissues, organs and individuals, and perform protein splicing through the Intein protein, which can play a role after or during protein translation, and covalently link the two different protein segments to obtain a full-length functional OTOF protein. It is suitable for use in various mammalian cells, including human, mouse, dog, pig, rabbit, hamster, sheep, cat, horse or non-human primate. It can be used in the ear, inner ear, cochlea, inner ear hair cells, or cells unrelated to the ear. The cells can be in vitro, in vivo, or ex vivo.

[0123] Therefore, the above-mentioned dual vector or adeno-associated virus can be used to prepare drugs for deafness diseases, hearing damage or hearing dysfunction, where the deafness diseases, hearing damage or hearing dysfunction are caused by gene mutations including the OTOF gene, and the mutations include but are not limited to base substitutions, frameshift mutations, deletion mutations, insertion mutations, etc.

[0124] The preparation or formulation prepared from the aforementioned dual vector or adeno-associated virus can be a powder or solution. The preparation or formulation can contain common solvents and buffers, such as common pharmaceutical carriers and adjuvants, including neutral salt buffer, acidic salt buffer, alkaline salt buffer, glucose, mannose, mannitol, proteins, peptides, amino acids, antibiotics, chelating agents, adjuvants, and preservatives. Buffers include phosphate buffer, Tris buffer, and HEPES buffer. The formulation can also be contained in other carriers, such as nanoparticles, liposomes, and positive lipid particles. The solution can simulate the components of perilymph fluid, with a NaCl concentration of 20-200 mM, a KCl concentration of 1-5 mM, a CaCl2 concentration of 0.1-10 mM, a glucose concentration of 1-10 mM, a HEPES concentration of 2-50 mM, and a pH of 6-9. The solution is ultimately sterile and can be dissolved in water, glycerol, ethanol, polyols, and oils. The solution can be used directly or diluted.

[0125] The administration method adopted by the present invention is: In the present invention, the dual vector or the final packaged adeno-associated virus can be delivered to the ear by various methods, and can be delivered to the ear from the round window, oval window, semicircular canal, utricle and other areas with or without auxiliary tools. The administration can be a single administration or multiple administrations based on the protein expression and hearing recovery. The delivery dose can be 1-200 μL, and the amount of AAV contained is 1×10 9 -1×10 13 For example, 1-2 μL containing 1 × 10 9 , 1×10 10 or 1×10 11 AAV virus, delivered in humans in 10-100 μL, contains 1 × 10 9 -1×10 13 The virus can be delivered to one ear or both ears. The present invention preferably delivers the virus to one ear, which can ultimately achieve the effect of bilateral hearing restoration.

[0126] The present invention will be further explained below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0127] Example 1 OTOF (SEQ ID NO. 1 or 2) Intein segmentation site selection

[0128] A split point is set on the OTOF amino acid sequence. The nucleotide coding sequence from the N-terminus of the OTOF amino acid sequence to the split point is the OTOF N-terminal coding sequence, and the nucleotide coding sequence from the position immediately following the split point to the C-terminus of the OTOF amino acid sequence is the OTOF C-terminal coding sequence. The N-terminus of OTOF is fused to the N-terminus of the intein, and the C-terminus of the intein is fused to the C-terminus of OTOF. There are multiple options for the split point of OTOF, some of which are listed in Table 3.
