Abstract
Description
Kidney-targeted polypeptide oligonucleotide conjugate and application thereof
[0001] The present application claims priority to the Chinese patent application No. 2024111020356 filed on August 12, 2024, entitled "Kidney-targeted polypeptide oligonucleotide conjugate and application thereof", and the Chinese patent application No. 2025104191326 filed on April 03, 2025, entitled "Kidney-targeted polypeptide oligonucleotide conjugate and application thereof", both of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present application belongs to the technical field of biological medicine, and specifically relates to a kidney-targeted polypeptide oligonucleotide conjugate and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0003] In the treatment of kidney diseases, multiple targets have been identified and used to develop small molecule drugs and antibody drugs. For example, sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2), urate transporter 1 (URAT1), hypoxia-inducible factor proline hydroxylase (HIF-PH) and regulatory hypoxia-inducible factor (HIFs), angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), endothelin-1 (Endothelin-1), TGF-b, NF-κB, phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), NADPH oxidase 1 (NOX1), etc. are important targets for kidney diseases.
[0004] SGLT2 is highly expressed in proximal tubular cells and is responsible for reabsorbing filtered glucose into the blood. SGLT2 inhibitors, by inhibiting this process, reduce blood glucose levels and play a role in treating diabetes. SGLT2 inhibitors such as dapagliflozin and canagliflozin have been approved for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy. However, these drugs, although effective, have some significant limitations, including the need for frequent dosing and possible side effects, and the safety concerns of frequent dosing and long-term use limit the application of these drugs.
[0005] URAT1 is mainly expressed in renal tubular epithelial cells and is involved in the reabsorption of uric acid. Similarly, URAT1 inhibitors such as lesinurad and febuxostat, although effective in reducing serum uric acid levels, their long-term safety and efficacy still need to be further verified, and long-term use of these drugs can cause side effects such as abnormal kidney function.
[0006] Hypoxia-inducible factor proline hydroxylase (HIF-PH) plays a crucial role in regulating hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), which are key mediators of cellular response to oxygen levels. HIF-PH is expressed in renal tubular cells, including proximal and distal tubule segments. In these cells, HIF-PH regulates the stability of HIFs, thereby affecting various functions including metabolic responses, production of erythropoietin, and response to hypoxic stress.
[0007] Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is mainly expressed in proximal tubular epithelial cells: ACE is highly expressed on the brush border of these cells, facing the tubular lumen. ACE inhibitors dilate blood vessels and lower blood pressure by inhibiting the production of angiotensin II. ACE inhibitors have been shown to reduce proteinuria in the kidney, a common symptom of many kidney diseases. In some chronic kidney diseases, such as diabetic nephropathy and hypertension-induced kidney damage, ACE inhibitors can slow the further deterioration of kidney function.
[0008] In response to these limitations, siRNA drugs, as a new emerging treatment method, show great potential. siRNA drugs can fundamentally address the etiology of diseases by specifically silencing target gene expression, with fewer side effects and longer duration of action. Through targeted siRNA delivery systems, drug administration frequency can be effectively reduced, and systemic side effects can be significantly reduced.
[0009] Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 2 (LRP2), also known as megalin, is a multifunctional receptor highly expressed in the kidney. LRP2 is enriched on the surface of renal tubular cells and is involved in the reabsorption and transport of various substances. Studies have shown that LRP2 not only plays an important role in maintaining the function of renal tubules, but also can be used as a potential target for delivering drugs into the kidney.
[0010] LRP2 mediates the uptake and metabolism of various ligands, including vitamin D binding protein, steroid hormones, and polypeptides, through endocytosis and transcellular transport mechanisms. Due to its high expression in renal tubular cells and extensive ligand binding capacity, LRP2 becomes an ideal candidate target for delivering siRNA drugs to the kidney. More importantly, SGLT2 and URAT1 are also expressed in the same renal tubular cells, making it possible to use LRP2-targeted peptides to deliver siRNA to precisely target these targets, thereby reducing the expression of target genes and treating related diseases.
[0011] The use of LRP2-targeting peptides to deliver siRNA drugs has several advantages. First, through the specific binding of the targeting peptide, efficient drug delivery can be achieved, significantly increasing the concentration of the drug in target cells. Second, siRNA drugs can fundamentally treat diseases by silencing specific genes, avoiding the side effects of traditional small molecule drugs. In addition, siRNA drugs have a longer duration of action, which can reduce the frequency of administration and improve patient compliance. In the treatment of kidney disease, the use of LRP2-targeting delivery of siRNA drugs can achieve precise targeting of key targets such as SGLT2 and URAT1, effectively reducing blood glucose and uric acid levels, and improving patient outcomes.
[0012] Therefore, a highly specific LRP2-targeting peptide-conjugated siRNA delivery system is designed and invented to improve the delivery efficiency and targeting of siRNA to kidney cells, and has better selectivity than existing small molecule drugs or antibody drugs, making it safer and more effective. SUMMARY
[0013] Based on this, the purpose of the present application is to provide a polypeptide delivery system based on targeting LRP2, which uses LRP2-targeting peptides to specifically deliver siRNA drugs to the kidney. This not only increases the effective concentration of siRNA drugs in the kidney and reduces the side effects of treatment, but also overcomes the limitations of existing small molecule drugs in terms of administration frequency and long-term effectiveness, with high in vivo delivery efficiency, high specificity, low toxicity, and reduced administration frequency.

The experimental procedure for the click chemistry coupling reaction between tri-alkynyl-nucleic acid and azido-polypeptide is similar to that between mono-alkynyl-nucleic acid and azido-polypeptide, with the exception of the following reagent equivalents: the equivalents of polypeptide, copper sulfate pentahydrate, tris(3-hydroxypropyltriazolylmethyl)amine and sodium L-ascorbate are 10, 60, 40 and 120 equivalents, respectively.
[0386] After obtaining the purified polypeptide-sense strand conjugate, the nucleotide concentration was determined by dissolving the sample in DEPC water, and the volume of polypeptide-sense strand and antisense strand required for equimolar amount was calculated. The polypeptide-siRNA double strand was prepared by mixing equimolar amount of polypeptide-sense strand and antisense strand, heating at 75°C for 5 minutes, and then naturally cooling to room temperature. After the annealing product was cooled to room temperature, it was diluted with 10 times volume of DEPC water, and then transferred to a Millipore 15 mL ultrafiltration centrifuge tube (molecular weight cut-off 3 KDa) for ultrafiltration, which aimed to remove the residual chemical reagents (such as n-hexylamine) in the preparation process of polypeptide and nucleic acid. The ultrafiltration centrifuge tube was centrifuged at 4000 rpm for about 40 min, and when the volume of the product was reduced to about 1 mL, the product in the ultrafiltration tube was collected and the residual product in the tube was washed with 3 mL of DEPC water. The ultrafiltration product was filtered through a 0.22 μm filter to remove bacteria, and then the collected product was dried to powder in a vacuum centrifugal dryer. After being dissolved in the corresponding solvent, the product can be used for subsequent in vitro and in vivo experiments.

[0388] m24017SM1-Q20 (10 mg, 1.33 μM, 1 eq.) was dissolved in 2 mL of phosphate buffer (0.1 M, pH 7.4), and then a solution of A1-22 (10.2 mg, 3.3 μM, 2.5 eq.) in N-methylpyrrolidone (1.5 mL) was added. Under nitrogen protection, a solution of copper sulfate pentahydrate (10 mg, 40 μM, 30 eq.) and tris(3-hydroxypropyltriazolylmethyl)amine (8.7 mg, 20 μM, 15 eq.) in N-methylpyrrolidone (0.5 mL) and sodium L-ascorbate (15 mg, 80 μM, 60 eq.) were added. After the system was reacted at 40°C for 1 hour under nitrogen protection, 36.5 μl of ammonia solution (28% in water) and 90 mg of EDTA-2Na were added, and the mixture was shaken for 10 minutes. Then, 0.4 mL of saturated NaCl solution and 13 mL of cold ethanol were added, and the mixture was centrifuged at high speed for 3 minutes (12000 rpm, 4°C). The supernatant was discarded, and the precipitate was dissolved in 2 mL of ddH2O. The polypeptide-siRNA sense strand conjugate A1-22-Q20-m24017SM1 was obtained by RP-HPLC purification (7.4 mg, yield: 52.3%).
[0389] The polypeptide-siRNA sense strand conjugate A1-22-Q20-m24017SM1 was annealed with the antisense strand m24017AM1 to obtain the polypeptide oligonucleotide conjugate A1-22-Q20-m24017.1-1.

[0398] 2. Experimental grouping and drug administration
[0399] 5-6 weeks old male C57 wild type mice with similar body weight were selected as experimental subjects and randomly divided into groups, 4 mice in each group. After the mice were anesthetized, the polypeptide oligonucleotide conjugate solution was injected into the mice through the tail vein at a dose of 5 mg / kg. On the day of drug injection, the state was observed and daily weight records were made.

[0401] On the 10th day of administration, the mice were sacrificed and sampled. The sampling site was bilateral kidneys, and the content of the antisense strand of the polypeptide oligonucleotide conjugate in the kidney tissue was detected by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.
[0402] 4. Quantification of polypeptide oligonucleotide conjugate in kidney tissue
[0403] The kidney tissue sample was weighed and an appropriate amount of lysis solution was added to make the final volume of lysis solution added to the tissue mass ratio 10:1 (mL: g). Then magnetic beads were added for grinding. After grinding, it was placed at 37°C for 3h to obtain kidney homogenate. Take 50 μL of kidney homogenate, add 100 μL of ultrapure water (containing 2.5 μg / mL internal standard), mix well, then sample to the activated solid phase extraction plate, perform solid phase extraction, and after blowing dry on the nitrogen blowing instrument, the residue is redissolved with ultrapure water. After centrifugation at 3500 rpm and 4°C for 10 minutes, LC-HRMS analysis was performed. The results are shown in Table 7.

The A1-22-TAMRA polypeptide was then diluted to concentrations of 1400 nM, 840 nM, and 280 nM, and 2.5 ug of APOJ was added to each milliliter of culture medium containing the A1-22-TAMRA polypeptide. After mixing, an equal amount of 293Ta cells was added to each well, and the 6-well plate was incubated at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 24 hours. The cells were collected, and the fluorescence signal intensity was detected by flow cytometry.

[0425] Table 12: Content of antisense strand of polypeptide oligonucleotide conjugates in kidney tissues of mice
[0426] As shown in Table 12, siRNA delivered by polypeptides has higher content in kidney tissues, and the delivery efficiency of the four polypeptides to the kidney is much higher than that of siRNA without delivery system. Among them, the delivery efficiency of polypeptides A1-22 and A4-22 is higher.

The groups were blank group, model group, allopurinol positive group, and polypeptide oligonucleotide conjugate group. Normal feed and pure water were provided for free drinking. The model group, allopurinol positive group, and polypeptide oligonucleotide conjugate group were intraperitoneally injected with potassium oxonate (300 mg / kg / day) for 18 consecutive days. The blank group was injected with 0.5% CMC-Na solvent (0.2 mL / 10 g). At the same time, the polypeptide oligonucleotide conjugate group was injected via tail vein on the first day (5 mg / kg). On the 18th day of the experiment, 1 hour after modeling, blood was collected in vivo to obtain serum for determination of inosine (CRE) and uric acid (UA) levels, and then the mice were sacrificed to obtain kidneys for detection of mURAT1 expression.
[0436] Table 14: Residual amount of mURAT1 in kidney tissue of mice
[0437] The results show that the mRNA level of mURAT1 in the A1-22-Q16-m24017.1-1 group of mice is reduced by 50% compared with the model mice.
[0438] Table 15: Inosine (CRE) and uric acid (UA) content in serum of mice

This indicates that the polypeptide A1-22 can well deliver the siRNA targeting mURAT1 to the kidney, thereby improving its effect of reducing uric acid in mice.

[0458] Mouse primary renal tubular epithelial cell isolation method: At the end of the experiment, C57BL / 6 male mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation and disinfected with 75% alcohol. The double kidneys were removed by cutting open along the back of the double kidney area and placed in a culture dish containing pre-cooled PBS (4°C) and repeatedly washed to remove blood residues. After removing the kidney capsule, continue to wash with pre-cooled PBS for 2-3 times. Then, the renal cortex and medulla were separated, and the renal cortex part was retained and placed in a culture dish, and the renal cortex was cut into small pieces with tissue scissors. After mixing the fragments with pre-cooled PBS, transfer to a centrifuge tube and centrifuge at 1500 rpm for 5 minutes to remove the supernatant. Then, 2 mL of 0.1% collagenase type II solution was added to the centrifuge tube, and the mixture was mixed by repeatedly blowing and placed in a 37°C shaking incubator for 30 minutes. After digestion, the digestion was terminated by adding medium containing 10% FBS. The digestion solution was filtered through a 70 μm filter, and the filtered liquid was mixed again by blowing and transferred to a centrifuge tube, which was centrifuged at 1500 rpm for 5 minutes to collect the cell precipitate. After washing once with pre-cooled PBS, the RNA was extracted using Trizol reagent according to the standard operating procedure.

[0467] Male C57BL / 6 mice aged 5-6 weeks were randomly divided into five groups of four each: a control group, a model group, a positive control group, and two groups of oligonucleotide conjugates (randomly selected). The control group mice were fed a normal diet, while the model group mice were fed a diet containing 0.2% adenine. After two weeks of receiving the 0.2% adenine diet, the positive control group (Roxadustat) was administered the drug (10 mg / kg) daily by gavage. Simultaneously, the oligonucleotide conjugate group mice received a single intravenous injection of 5 mg / kg of the conjugate via tail vein. The model and experimental groups continued to receive the 0.2% adenine diet for two weeks, after which they were switched to a normal diet. Thirty-five days after the oligonucleotide conjugate injection, all mice underwent submandibular blood sampling to collect anticoagulated whole blood samples for testing complete blood count (RBC), hemoglobin concentration (HGB), hematocrit (HCT), and renal function indicators such as creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels.
