Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and more specifically, to nucleic acids targeting coagulation factor XI and their uses.
[0002] Cross-references to related applications This invention claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202410368288.1, filed on March 28, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Prior Technology
[0003] The coagulation mechanism is an indispensable function of human blood circulation, and normal coagulation function can prevent blood loss. The coagulation reaction generally initiates through two pathways: the extrinsic and the intrinsic pathways. The extrinsic pathway, also known as the tissue factor pathway, is initiated by tissue damage, causing tissue factor (TF or Factor III) to bind to coagulation factor VIIa, subsequently initiating factor X into Xa. The intrinsic pathway, also known as the contact initiation pathway, is initiated by surface or vascular endothelial damage, causing factor XII to convert to XIIa. Subsequently, XIIa converts factor XI to XIa, and XIa converts factor IX to IXa, thus initiating factor X into Xa. From this point, both initiation pathways enter the common pathway of the coagulation reaction: Xa binds to cofactor Va to form prothrombinase complex (also known as thrombin activation enzyme), which promotes the conversion of prothrombin (factor II) into thrombin (factor IIa). Thrombin then converts fibrinogen (factor I) into fibrin (factor Ia), and also initiates factor XIII and converts it into XIIIa, further promoting fibrin cross-linking to form a thrombus.
[0004] Abnormalities in the coagulation mechanism can lead to various diseases. For example, the deficiency of coagulation factors VIII and IX can cause hemophilia, while thrombosis and vascular embolism are the root cause of many diseases such as pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, myocardial infarction, and stroke. Clinically used antithrombotic therapies such as heparin, low molecular weight heparin, or warfarin have limitations and are prone to treatment-related bleeding. Many embolisms are believed to be caused by the initiation of the coagulation pathway after surgery. Studies on individuals with factor XI deficiency (hemophilia C) have found that their bleeding tendency is generally no different from that of normal individuals, only occurring during surgery and severe trauma. This makes factor XI a potential target for the treatment of thrombosis.
[0005] RNA interference (RNAi) refers to the highly conserved phenomenon of efficient and specific degradation of homologous mRNA induced by double-stranded small interfering RNA (siRNA) during evolution. RNAi drugs also have the advantage of longer duration of action compared to antibody drugs. Therefore, the research and development of siRNAs targeting coagulation factor XI is of great significance.

[0024] In this invention, terms such as "preferred," "better," "more suitable," and "ideal" are merely descriptions of more effective implementation methods or embodiments, and should be understood not to limit the scope of protection of this invention.
[0025] In this invention, "optionally," "optionally," "optionally," "optionally," "optionally," and "optional" refer to options that are optional, meaning they are selected from either "present" or "absent." If multiple "optional" or "optional" terms appear in a technical solution, unless otherwise specified and without contradiction or mutual constraint, each "optional" or "optional" term is independent.
[0026] In this invention, the term "nucleic acid" refers to a composition containing RNA or RNA-like (e.g., chemically modified RNA) oligonucleotide molecules capable of degrading or inhibiting (e.g., under appropriate conditions, degrading or inhibiting) the translation of messenger RNA (mRNA) transcripts of target mRNA in a sequence-specific manner. The nucleic acid may function through RNA interference mechanisms (i.e., by interaction with RNA interference pathways in mammalian cells, such as RNA-induced silencing complexes or RISC), or through any alternative mechanism or pathway. The scope of nucleic acids disclosed herein, including both sense and antisense strands, includes, but is not limited to: short (or small) interfering RNA (siRNA), double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), microRNA (miRNA), short hairpin RNA (shRNA), and dicer substrates.
[0027] In this invention, when it is mentioned that "the antisense strand (positive strand) contains at least 15 consecutive nucleotides, and the at least n consecutive nucleotides differ from any at least 15 consecutive nucleotides in the reference sequence (e.g., the sequence shown in SEQ ID No. X or the nucleotide sequence of positions 1-21 of the shown sequence) by no more than 3 nucleotides", the alignment involved includes alignment with at least 15 consecutive nucleotides starting at any position (e.g., positions 1, 2, 3, ..., 7, or 8) in the reference sequence. As an example, in some embodiments, the antisense strand (positive strand) contains 21 consecutive nucleotides, wherein the nucleotide sequence of positions 1-15 differs from the nucleotide sequence of positions 2-16 of the reference sequence in one, two, or three places, and the nucleotides of positions 16-20 in the antisense strand (positive strand) are all the same as or all different from the nucleotide sequence of positions 17-21 of the reference sequence; such sequences are also within the scope of this invention.

[0029] In this invention, "coagulation factor XI (FXI or F11)," also known as plasma prekallikrein, is a protein involved in the blood coagulation process. It plays an important role in the coagulation cascade, especially in the intrinsic pathway. When blood vessels are damaged, a series of enzymatic reactions are initiated, ultimately leading to fibrin formation, which helps with hemostasis and wound healing.
[0030] In this invention, when referring to the expression of a given gene, the terms “silence,” “reduction,” “inhibition,” “downregulation,” or “knockdown” mean, as measured by the level of RNA transcribed from the gene or the level of polypeptide, protein, or protein subunit translated from mRNA in a cell, cell population, tissue, organ, or subject in which the gene is transcribed, when the cell, cell population, tissue, organ, or subject is treated with the nucleic acid described herein, the expression of the gene is reduced compared to a second cell, cell population, tissue, organ, or subject who has not been treated in this way.
[0031] In this invention, "completely complementary" means that in a hybridization pair of nucleobase or nucleotide sequences, all (100%) bases in the adjacent sequence of the first oligonucleotide hybridize with the same number of bases in the adjacent sequence of the second oligonucleotide. The adjacent sequence may comprise all or part of the first or second nucleotide sequence.
[0032] In this invention, "partially complementary" means that in a hybridization pair of nucleobase or nucleotide sequence molecules, at least 70% but not all of the bases in the adjacent sequence of the first oligonucleotide hybridizes with the same number of bases in the adjacent sequence of the second oligonucleotide.

[0052] In some embodiments, when the sequence identity of the sense or antisense strand of the nucleic acid with the corresponding sequence mentioned in this invention is less than 100% or differs by more than one nucleotide, it still has an inhibitory effect on coagulation factor XI that is similar to (e.g., still has an efficacy equivalent to 80-120%, 85-115%, or 90-110% of the corresponding sequence) or equivalent to (e.g., still has an efficacy equivalent to 95-105% of the corresponding sequence). For example, the two bases at the 3' end of the antisense strand (such as any of the sequences shown in SEQ ID No. 121-240) can be replaced with UU, AA, CU, UC, AG, CC, GG, or UG, or any combination of two nucleic acids. Such nucleic acid sequences are also within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0055] In Table 1, column 1 indicates the position of the first base of the target gene in the coding sequence of human coagulation factor XI, and so on; the numbers in columns 3 and 5 represent sequence numbers, for example, "1" represents SEQ ID No. 1. The reference sequence of the target gene is the coding sequence of human coagulation factor XI, NM_000128.4.
[0056] The advantages of the above-mentioned technical solutions regarding bare sequences (i.e., unmodified sequences) mentioned in this invention do not depend on the choice of modification method or target vector. The following section elaborates on applicable modification schemes and further preferred modification schemes.
[0057] In some embodiments, the nucleic acid contains nucleotide groups as basic structural units, and the nucleotide groups contain phosphate groups, ribose groups, and bases. Preferably, the nucleic acid contains at least one modified nucleotide group. The nucleic acid containing the modified group has an inhibitory efficiency of not less than 50% against coagulation factor XI (e.g., 50%, 51%, 52%, 53%, 54%, 55%, 56%, 57%, 58%, 59%, 60%, 61%, 62%, 63%, 64%, 65%, 66%, 67%, 68%, 69%, 70%, 71%, 72%, 73%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99%).
[0058] In some embodiments, the modified nucleotide group is a nucleotide group whose phosphate group and / or ribose group are modified. The modified site can be at least position 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 of the nucleotides at positions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 of the nucleotides in the sense strand and / or antisense strand.
[0059] In some embodiments, modification of the phosphate group refers to modifying the oxygen in the phosphate group, including phosphate thioate modification and boranophosphate modification. The oxygen in the phosphate group is replaced by sulfur, borane, amino, alkyl, or alkoxy groups, as shown in the following formulas. These modifications can stabilize the structure of nucleic acids and maintain high specificity and high affinity of base pairing.
[0060] In the above structural formulas, BASE represents a base A, U, C, G, or T. X can be oxygen (O) or sulfur (S). R can be the same or different in the above structures, such as: hydrogen (H), fluorine (F), methoxy (OME) or methoxyethyl (MOE), hydroxyl, allyl, ethylamino, propargyl, amino, cyanoethyl, acetyl, etc. R' and R'' can each independently be hydrogen (H), methyl (CH3), ethyl (CH2CH3), propyl (CH2CH2CH3), isopropyl (CH(CH3)2), allyl, propargyl, acetoxybenzyl, acetoxyethyl.
[0061] In some embodiments, modification of the ribose group refers to the modification of the 2′-hydroxyl group (2′-OH) in the ribose group. Introducing certain substituents, such as methoxy or fluorine, at the 2′-hydroxyl position of the ribose group makes the nucleic acid less susceptible to cleavage by ribonucleases, thereby increasing the stability of the nucleic acid and giving it stronger resistance to nuclease hydrolysis. Modification of the 2′-hydroxyl group in the pentose of nucleotides includes 2′-fluoromodification (e.g., 2′-arabino-fluoro modification), 2′-methoxymodification (2′-OME), 2′-methoxyethylmodification (2′-MOE), 2′-2,4-dinitrophenol modification (2′-DNP modification), 2′,4′-constrained ethylmodification, 2′-aminomodification (2′-Amino modification), 2′-deoxymodification (2′-Deoxy modification), BNA, acyclic nucleic acid modification, misaligned nucleic acid modification, L-type nucleic acid modification, etc. BNA (inner-ring bridging nucleotide) refers to a restricted or inaccessible nucleotide. BNAs can contain bridging structures with "fixed" C 3'-endoglycosylation rings, including five-, six-, or seven-membered rings. This bridge is typically incorporated into the 2'-, 4'-positions of the ribosome to provide 2',4'-BNA nucleotides, such as locked-ethyl (LNA), ring-locked-ethyl (ENA), and ethyl-locked nucleic acid (cET BNA). Acyclic nucleic acids are nucleotides formed by opening the sugar ring of the nucleotide, such as unlocked nucleic acid (UNA) and glycerol nucleic acid (GNA). Misalignment refers to the replacement of the 3',5'-phosphate bond with a 2',5'-phosphate bond. L-type nucleic acid modification refers to the replacement of a naturally occurring D-type nucleic acid with its mirror-image L-type nucleic acid.
[0062] In this context, BASE represents the bases A, U, C, G, or T. R can be the same or different in the above structures, for example: hydrogen (H), fluorine (F), methoxy (OME) or methoxyethyl (MOE), hydroxyl, allyl, ethylamino, propargyl, cyanoethyl, acetyl, etc.
[0063] In some embodiments, according to a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, wherein the nucleotide group containing a uracil base or a cytosine base in the justice strand of the RNAi reagent is the nucleotide group to which the ribose group is modified, i.e., the nucleotide group containing the uracil base or cytosine base in the justice strand of the RNAi reagent is substituted with a 2'-riboOH group in the nucleotide group containing the uracil base or cytosine base. More preferably, the 3' end of both the justice strand and the antisense strand of the RNAi reagent may be linked with a dTdT; The RNAi reagents with the above modifications exhibited even better in vivo inhibitory effects, and the above modifications were able to further reduce the immunogenicity of the RNAi reagents of the invention in vivo.
[0064] The RNAi reagents of the invention may also include modifications linking a single phosphate nucleoside at the 5' end of the antisense strand. Since siRNA guide-strand-terminated 5'-monophosphate is important for RISC recognition. Among them, the phosphorylation of the 5'-hydroxy group plays a certain role in whether siRNA can be efficiently loaded onto Ago2 inside the cell. The monophosphate at the 5′ end of the guide strand in siRNA interacts with Argonaute-2 (Ago2) with an H-bond, thereby ensuring accurate localization and precise cleavage of the target of the mRNA. The commonly used derivatives of 5′-monophosphate nucleosides are as follows, and such derivatives of phosphonucleosides have been confirmed to have some stability in biological metabolic mediators and play a role in promoting the loading of siRNA guide strands into Ago2 inside the cell (Nucleic Acids Research, 2015, 43, 2993–3011). RNAi reagents according to the invention, wherein, preferably trans-vinyl phosphate (VP) is preferred, may also include derivatives of monophosphate nucleosides other than those described above.
[0065] In the above structures, BASE represents the base A, U, C, G, or T. R can be the same or different in the above structures, such as: hydrogen (H), fluorine (F), methoxy (OME) or methoxyethyl (MOE), hydroxyl, allyl, ethylamino, propargyl, cyanoethyl, amino, acetyl, etc.
[0066] In this invention, , and The meaning is consistent, referring to a chemical element X being attached to any one or more groups.

The modified nucleotide groups can be introduced using nucleotide monomers with corresponding modifications.
[0084] Based on the synthesized nucleic acid (siRNA) as described above, the present invention can further construct shRNA expression plasmids with the same or similar functions as the above nucleic acid. The method for constructing the expression plasmid is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
[0085] Targeted drug delivery system
[0086] The present invention also provides a targeted drug delivery system comprising a target group, a linker group, and a nucleic acid as described above, which is linked to the target group via the linker group.
[0087] Based on common knowledge in the art, the nucleic acid (siRNA) of this invention exhibits superior inhibitory effects when applied to different targeted drug delivery systems. In other words, the efficacy advantages of the naked sequence and the modified sequence in this invention do not depend on the choice of targeting vector. To further improve the bioavailability and therapeutic effect of siRNA, this invention also optimizes the targeted drug delivery system, resulting in the following technical solution.
[0088] In some specific embodiments, the targeting group can further enhance the targeting of small nucleic acids and can be provided by monosaccharides (e.g., glucose, mannose, allose, alphaose, galactose, galactosamine, N-acetylglucosamine, taloose, fructose, idooose, etc.) and / or peptides (e.g., proteins, monoclonal antibodies, nanobody).
[0089] In some specific embodiments, the linking group may be selected from -O-[CH2CH2O]n-, -[CH2]m-CONH-[CH2]nO-, -O-[CH2CH2O]m-CONH-[CH2]nO-, and -O-[CH2]m-CONH-[CH2H2O]nO-. Wherein, m and n can each be independently integers from 1 to 10.
[0090] In some embodiments, the targeted drug delivery system includes a ligand and the nucleic acid connected to the ligand, the ligand being connected to one or more of the 5' end of the antisense strand, the 3' end of the antisense strand, the 5' end of the sense strand, and the 3' end of the sense strand.
[0091] In some preferred embodiments, the ligand is a GalNAc derivative.
[0092] In some preferred embodiments, the ligand is one or more GalNAc derivatives linked by single-chain, double-chain, or triple-chain branch heads.
[0093] In some further preferred embodiments, the RNAi reagent comprises a compound with the structure shown in Formula I: Formula I
[0094] In the formula, Nu represents the double strand. This targeted drug delivery system utilizes the structural characteristics of its left side to improve the cell penetration ability of nucleic acid drugs (Nu), enhance their stability within cells, and has a simple preparation process and strong practicality.
[0095] In practice, under the conditions of coupling reaction and in the presence of coupling reagents, the ligand part can be brought into contact with the nucleotide monomer or the nucleic acid attached to the solid support, thereby connecting the compound part to the nucleic acid via a coupling reaction.

Generally, relative to 1 part by weight of the nucleic acid (or 1 part by weight of the targeted drug delivery system based on nucleic acid), the content of the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier can be 1-100,000 parts by weight (e.g., 1 part by weight, 5 parts by weight, 10 parts by weight, 50 parts by weight, 100 parts by weight, 500 parts by weight, 1000 parts by weight, 5000 parts by weight, 10000 parts by weight, 50000 parts by weight, 100000 parts by weight, or any value between any two of the above).
[0104] According to the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention, the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier can be any of the carriers conventionally used in the art, for example, it can include at least one of pH buffer, protectant, and osmotic pressure regulator. The pH buffer can be a tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane hydrochloride buffer with a pH of 7.5-8.5 and / or a phosphate buffer with a pH of 5.5-8.5, preferably a phosphate buffer with a pH of 5.5-8.5. The protectant can be at least one of inositol, sorbitol, and sucrose. Based on the total weight of the pharmaceutical composition, the content of the protectant can be 0.01-30% by weight (e.g., 0.01% by weight, 0.05% by weight, 0.1% by weight, 0.5% by weight, 1% by weight, 5% by weight, 10% by weight, 15% by weight, 20% by weight, 25% by weight, 30% by weight, or any value between any two of the above). The osmotic pressure regulator can be sodium chloride and / or potassium chloride. The content of the osmotic pressure regulator is such that the osmotic pressure of the pharmaceutical composition is 200-700 milliohms / kg. The content of the osmotic pressure regulator can be determined by those skilled in the art based on the desired osmotic pressure.

[0124] [Example] [1]
[0125] Add 0.5 mL of cell culture medium (DMEM, 10% fetal bovine serum, 1% penicillin + streptomycin solution) containing 10⁴ Hep3B (Procell, Cat# CL-0102) cells to 96-well cell culture dishes and incubate overnight at 37°C and 5% CO₂. Add RNAiMAX (1.5 μL / well) and small interfering nucleic acids (siRNA) with sequences as shown in Table 2 to Opti-MEM culture medium to make the final concentration per well 1 nM or 10 nM, and continue to culture at 37°C and 5% CO₂ for 48 hours. To extract RNA, aspirate the cell culture supernatant, wash with PBS, aspirate again, add 50 μL of prepared lysis buffer (as recommended by the Cells-to-CT kit (ThermoFisher Scientific, Cat#4391851c)), mix well, incubate for 10 min, and then add 2.5 μL of stop solution to terminate the reaction for 2 min. RT-PCR was performed according to the recommendations of the High Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcription Kits (Thermo Fisher, catalog number: 4368814), with each reaction containing 10 μL of lysed liquid. Gene expression was quantified using real-time fluorescence PCR. The TaqMan probe for human FXI was Hs01038035_m1, and the probe for the internal control gene (human HPRT1) was Hs02800695_m1 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). PCR conditions were 95℃ for 20 seconds (1 loop), 95℃ for 1 second, and 60℃ for 20 seconds (40 loops in total). The real-time fluorescence PCR system used was the QuantStudio™ 6 Pro Real-Time Fluorescence PCR System (Thermo Fisher). FXI gene expression was calculated as 2^-ΔΔCt, with human HPRT1 gene expression used as an internal control.

[0129] Add 0.5 mL of cell culture medium (DMEM, 10% fetal bovine serum, 1% penicillin + streptomycin solution) containing 10⁴ Hep3B (Procell, Cat# CL-0102) cells to 96-well cell culture dishes and culture overnight at 37°C in a cell culture vessel with 5% CO₂. Add RNAiMAX (1.5 μL / well) and small interfering nucleic acids (siRNA) from Table 5 to Opti-MEM culture medium to make the final concentrations per well 0.0137 nM, 0.0411 nM, 0.1235 nM, 0.3704 nM, 1.111 nM, 3.333 nM, and 10 nM, and continue to culture at 37°C in a cell culture vessel with 5% CO₂ for 48 hours. To extract RNA, the cell culture supernatant was aspirated, washed with PBS, and then 50 μL of prepared lysis buffer (as recommended by the Cells-to-CT kit (ThermoFisher Scientific, Cat#4391851c)) was added and mixed. After standing for 10 min, 2.5 μL of stop solution was added to terminate the reaction for 2 min. RT-PCR was performed according to the recommendations of the High Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcription Kits (Thermo Fisher, catalog number: 4368814), with each reaction containing 10 μL of lysed liquid. Gene expression was quantified using real-time fluorescence PCR. The TaqMan probe for human FXI was Hs01038035_m1, and the probe for the internal control gene (human HPRT1) was Hs02800695_m1 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). PCR conditions were 95℃ for 20 seconds per loop, followed by 40 loops at 95℃ for 1 second and 60℃ for 20 seconds. The real-time fluorescence PCR system used was a QuantStudio™ 6 Pro Thermo Fisher system. FXI gene expression was calculated as 2^-ΔΔCt, with human HPRT1 gene expression used as an internal control. FXI gene expression levels were expressed relative to the RNAiMAX-only cell group as a control, and the IC50 value was calculated. Results are shown in Table 5.

[0139] To determine the effects of modifications at different sites on siRNA activity, the siRNAs listed in Table 9 were conjugated with the hepatocyte-targeting compound Tri-GalNAc (its structure is shown in Formula I) and subjected to free uptake experiments in primary monkey hepatocytes. The siRNA-GalNAc samples were dissolved in 100 μL of enzyme-free sterile water to prepare a 10000 μM solution. Then, 10 μL of the 10000 μM test solution was added to 90 μL of PMonH plating medium to dilute it to a 1000 μM solution as the working solution for the 1000 nM final concentration group. The 1000 μM test solution was then 3-fold diluted at 8 concentration points using PMonH plating medium to obtain the final working solution concentrations of 0.5 μM, 1.4 μM, 4 μM, 12 μM, 37 μM, 111 μM, 333 μM, and 1000 μM. Primary monkey hepatocytes were removed from liquid nitrogen, thawed and revived at 37°C, washed with serum-containing PMonH plating medium, counted, and centrifuged. After removing the supernatant, the cells were diluted to 250 kJ / mL with fresh serum-containing PMonH plating medium. 90 μL of the diluted cell solution was then plated onto 96-well cell culture plates, resulting in 25 kJ cells per well. Prepared sample working solutions were added to the cell solution to achieve final concentrations of 0.5 nM, 1.4 nM, 4 nM, 12 nM, 37 nM, 111 nM, 333 nM, and 1000 nM. The plates were then incubated at 37°C for 48 hours with 5% CO2. After 48 hours, all culture medium was aspirated from the 96-well plates, and the plates were washed with 1×PBS buffer. 50 μL of prepared Cells to CT lysis buffer (as recommended by the manufacturer) was added and mixed thoroughly. After standing for 10 min, 2.5 μL of stop solution was added to terminate the lysis for 2 min. RT-PCR was performed according to the recommendations of the High Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcription Kits (Thermo Fisher, catalog number: 4368814), with each reaction containing 10 μL of lysed liquid. Gene expression was quantified using real-time fluorescence PCR. The TaqMan probe for monkey F11 was Mf02826986_m1, and the probe for the internal control gene (monkey PPIB) was Mf02802985_m1 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). PCR conditions were 95℃ for 20 seconds (1 loop), 95℃ for 1 second, and 60℃ for 20 seconds (40 loops in total). The real-time fluorescence PCR system used was the QuantStudio™ 6 Pro Real-Time Fluorescence PCR System (Thermo Fisher). F11 gene expression was calculated as 2^-ΔΔCt, and PPIB gene expression was used as an internal control.The F11 gene silencing level was calculated as a percentage compared to the control group containing only culture medium. The siRNA concentration (IC50) that reduced F11 expression by 50% is shown in Table 10.
