Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a nucleic acid molecule encoding angiostatin, a transgene expression cassette comprising the nucleic acid molecule, and a gene delivery system comprising the transgene expression cassette. BACKGROUND

[0002] Pathological neovascularization occurs in a large number of retinal diseases and affects millions of people worldwide each year. For example, about 300 million people worldwide, especially those over 60 years of age, suffer from age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which is the leading cause of blindness in the elderly (Klein R, Peto T, et al., Am J Ophthalmol (2004) 137(3):486-95; Friedman DS, O’Colmain BJ, et al., Arch Ophthalmol (2004) 122(4):564-72; AI-Zamil WM, et al., Clin Interv Aging (2017):28860733). AMD is characterized by progressive retinal damage under the action of various factors. Among them, a severe form of AMD is called wet AMD, choroidal neovascularization (CNV) gradually expands throughout the retina, and due to the fragility of the blood vessel wall, its internal contents are prone to leakage, which further destroys the integrity of the retinal structure and hinders visual function. Similar neovascular problems, i.e., neovascular hemorrhage and scarring, are also prevalent in diabetic retinopathy (DR) and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), which occur in diabetic patients and newborns, respectively.

[0003] In addition, excessive neovascularization occurs during tumor development to facilitate the supply of oxygen and nutrients to cancer cells. First, neovascularization can be induced from pre-existing vascular networks and infiltrate tumor tissue; second, tumor cells can recruit endothelial progenitor cells to form a secondary vasculature; third, tumor cells aggregate around pre-existing blood vessels and organize endothelial cells in a tubular manner to produce new vasculature (Jain RK, Science (2005) 307(5706):58-62; Carmeliet P, et al., Nature (2011) 473(7347):298-307; Majidpoor J, et al., Cell Oncol. 2021).

[0004] The above pathological conditions indicate the importance of anti-angiogenesis in treating retinal diseases and cancers. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a key factor that triggers the growth of new blood vessels in these diseases. Anti-VEGF approaches have attracted extensive attention. Endostatin is a 20 kD fragment produced from the C-terminal of collagen XVIII, and angiostatin is a Kringle domain-containing protein produced by proteolytic cleavage of plasminogen. Both of them exhibit excellent anti-angiogenic activity and antagonize the biological effects of VEGF. In the past decade, these two angiogenesis inhibitors have been widely used in the treatment of retinal diseases and cancers to inhibit the formation of new blood vessels (O'Reilly MS et al., Cell (1994) 79(2): 315-28; O'Reilly MS et al., Cell (1997) 88(2): 277-85; Patent Nos. US 9707304 B2 and US 2004 / 0156828 A1). Therefore, in order to achieve better therapeutic effect on retinal diseases and cancers, it is also desirable to obtain endostatin-encoding sequences and angiostatin-encoding sequences with higher expression levels.

[0005] Adeno-associated virus (AAV) has low pathogenicity and the ability to stably express proteins in various organ tissues, which makes AAV have obvious advantages in the field of gene therapy and is suitable for delivering therapeutic genes. However, wild-type AAV serotypes usually infect multiple tissues / organs of mammals in a broad spectrum, have extensive tissue targeting, and cause gene delivery to off-target tissues, thereby exacerbating adverse reactions. The capsid proteins of AAV particles not only regulate the assembly of AAV during replication, but also promote the interaction of the virus with receptors on the plasma membrane and entry into target cells. Studies have shown that the tissue tropism and cell transformation efficiency of AAV vectors are mainly determined by their capsids. In view of this, in order to achieve better therapeutic effect, it is desirable to make suitable modifications to the AAV capsid proteins to obtain AAV vectors with organ (e.g., eye) specificity.

[0006] In addition, due to the inconvenience and pain caused to patients by repeated injections, repeated administration of angiogenesis inhibitors is undesirable. Therefore, it is desirable to obtain a gene delivery system that can simultaneously deliver two or more angiogenesis inhibitors. SUMMARY

In some embodiments, the transgene cassette also contains polynucleotide elements for controlling expression of the protein product, such as an origin of replication, a polyadenylation signal, an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) or 2A signal (e.g., P2A, T2A, F2A), a promoter, and an enhancer (e.g., a CMV promoter with vertebrate beta-actin, beta-globin, or beta-globin regulatory elements or other hybrid CMV promoters (referred to as CB and CAG promoters), an EF1 promoter, a hypoxia response element, a ubiquitin promoter, a T7 promoter, an SV40 promoter, a VP16 or VP64 promoter). The promoters and enhancers can be activated by chemicals or hormones (e.g., doxycycline or tamoxifen) to ensure gene expression at a specific point in time. In addition, the promoters and enhancers can be natural or artificial or chimeric sequences, i.e., prokaryotic or eukaryotic sequences.

[0107] In some preferred embodiments, the inducible regulatory elements for gene expression can be tissue or organ specific promoters or enhancers, including but not limited to: promoters specific to various types of retinal cells, such as ganglion cell specific promoters (e.g., Tujl promoter), astrocyte and Muller cell specific promoters (e.g., GFAP or vimentin promoter), and retinal pigment epithelium specific promoters (e.g., RPE65 or VMD2 promoter); promoters specific to various types of ocular neurons (e.g., synapsin, VGAT, DAT, TH promoters); and promoters specific to osteoblast lineage (e.g., osteocalcin promoter), liver, pancreas, spleen, and lung cancer cell specific promoters.

[0109] In this document, the term “cis element” refers to a transgene cassette that is packaged in an AAV particle and expressed in a target cell to produce a protein product with a therapeutic effect.

[0110] In the present context, the term "codon-optimized" refers to a polynucleotide sequence that has been modified from its native form. Such modifications result in one or more base pair differences, with or without changes in the corresponding amino acid sequence, that can enhance or inhibit expression of the gene and / or cellular response to the modified polynucleotide sequence.

[0111] As known to those skilled in the art, AAV capsid proteins contain VP1, VP2 and VP3 proteins, which undergo transcription and translation processes at the start codon inside the VP1 protein, i.e., the VP1 sequence contains VP2 and VP3 sequences.

[0120] In one embodiment, the transgene expression cassette encoding angiogenesis inhibitors includes a CB promoter sequence (SEQ ID NO: 5), a bGH polyA sequence (SEQ ID NO: 6), codon-optimized human endostatin and codon-optimized human angiostatin sequences with N-terminal SP signal peptide (SEQ ID NO: 15 and SEQ ID NO: 16), the coding sequences of which are connected by a Furin protease sequence (Lys-Arg-Lys-Arg-Arg) + a linker peptide (Ser-Gly-Ser-Gly) + a F2A sequence, thus forming a B110 expression cassette (SEQ ID NO: 9). The B110 expression cassette also contains two ITRs, which enable the expression cassette to be packaged into AAV viral particles as a single-stranded AAV vector.

[0121] In one embodiment, the transgene expression cassette encoding angiogenesis inhibitors includes a CB promoter sequence (SEQ ID NO: 5), a bGH polyA sequence (SEQ ID NO: 6), codon-optimized human endostatin and codon-optimized human angiostatin sequences with N-terminal SP signal peptide (SEQ ID NO: 15 and SEQ ID NO: 16), the coding sequences of which are connected by a Furin protease sequence (Lys-Arg-Lys-Arg-Arg) + a linker peptide (Ser-Gly-Ser-Gly) + a F2A sequence, thus forming a B110 expression cassette (SEQ ID NO: 9). The B110 expression cassette also contains two ITRs, which enable the expression cassette to be packaged into AAV viral particles as a single-stranded AAV vector.

[0122] In some embodiments, anti-angiogenic AAV particles are produced by triple plasmid (plasmid 1: cis-element plasmid; plasmid 2: AAV Rep / Cap plasmid; plasmid 3: helper plasmid) transfection of HEK293 cells.

[0123] In one embodiment, to produce AAV particles with therapeutic functions, triple plasmid transfection of HEK293 cells is performed as follows: plasmid 1: cis-element plasmid with ITR (e.g., B36, B110, and B111 expression cassettes); plasmid 2: AAV Rep / Cap plasmid with capsid protein (e.g., AAVH15, AAVT13, and AAVXL32 capsid proteins) coding sequences; plasmid 3: helper plasmid with adenovirus components that can promote replication, assembly, and packaging of AAV virions. In one embodiment, AAV particles produced by HEK293 cells are purified by affinity chromatography and iodixanol density gradient ultracentrifugation (Xiao X et al., J Virol (1998) 72(3):2224-32).

[0124] One skilled in the art can use known standard methods to produce recombinant and synthetic polypeptides or proteins thereof, design nucleic acid sequences, produce transformed cells, construct recombinant AAV mutants, engineer capsid proteins, package vectors expressing AAV Rep and / or Cap sequences, and transiently or stably transfect packaging cells. These techniques are known to those of skill in the art. See, e.g., MOLECULAR CLONING: A LABORATORY MANUAL, 2nd Ed., (Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y., 1989).

[0125] In some embodiments, the gene delivery system of the present disclosure is used to assist in cell transplantation therapy. Specifically, AAV particles with transgenes can be used to transduce various types of cells in vitro to generate stable cell lines expressing protein products, which can then be introduced in vivo for therapeutic purposes. The types of cells include, but are not limited to, endothelial cells, myoblasts, fibroblasts, astrocytes, Muller cells, oligodendrocytes, microglia, rod and cone cells, neurons, hematopoietic stem cells, monocytes, granulocytes, lymphocytes, osteoclasts, and macrophages.

[0126] In one embodiment, the cells used for transplantation are autologous cells of the subject, which allow for in vitro culturing. The principles and techniques for introducing or transplanting cells into a subject are known to those of skill in the art.

[0127] In one embodiment, AAV particles are harvested from the culture medium and lysate of HEK293 cells. Purification methods such as affinity chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, cesium chloride and iodixanol gradient ultracentrifugation. Chemicals or reagents related to AAV production and purification include, but are not limited to: chemicals or reagents for cell culture (e.g., components of cell culture medium, including bovine, equine, goat, chicken or other vertebrate serum, glutamine, glucose, sucrose, sodium pyruvate, phenol red; antibiotics, such as penicillin, kanamycin, streptomycin, tetracycline); chemicals or reagents for cell lysis, polynucleotide precipitation, or ultracentrifugation (e.g., Triton X-100, NP-40, sodium deoxycholate, sodium dodecyl sulfate, domiphen bromide, sodium dodecyl salicylate, sodium chloride, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, barium chloride, nitrate, potassium chloride, ammonium chloride, ammonium persulfate, ammonium sulfate, PEG-20, PEG-40, PEG-400, PEG-2000, PEG-6000, PEG-8000, PEG-20000, Tris-HCl, Tris-acetate, manganese chloride, phosphate, bicarbonate, cesium chloride, methanol, ethanol, glycerol, iodixanol, isopropanol, butanol, anisase, DNase I, RNase); affinity column materials (e.g., AAVX affinity resin, heparan sulfate proteoglycan and mucin resin, other materials related to AAV-specific antibodies); ion exchange chromatography materials and acids, bases, and organics contained in wash buffers (e.g., hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, formic acid, nitric acid, urea, acetone, chloroform, acetonitrile, trifluoroacetic acid, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, barium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, Tris base or other organic amines, poloxamer 188, Tween 20, Tween 40, Tween 80, guanidine hydrochloride).

[0128] In one embodiment, the protein product encoded by the transgene cassette is linked to an oligopeptide tag (e.g., Flag, 6xHis, 2xHA, Myc) that facilitates purification of the protein product. Those skilled in the art understand techniques and procedures related to protein purification. Briefly, the transgene plasmid is transfected into eukaryotic cells (e.g., HEK293 and CHO cells), and then the protein of interest is collected by affinity chromatography. For example, Flag-M2 resin beads are commonly used to specifically attract Flag-tagged proteins, which are then eluted with 3xFlag soluble oligopeptide. Nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni-NTA) columns can also be used to reversibly bind, and then specifically purify, 6xHis-tagged proteins.

[0129] In one embodiment, the AAV vectors of the present disclosure can be loaded with an exogenous polynucleotide for delivery of a gene into a target cell. Thus, the AAV vectors of the present disclosure can be used to deliver a nucleic acid to a cell in vitro or in vivo.

[0130] In one embodiment, the exogenous polynucleotide delivered by the AAV vector encodes a polypeptide that functions as a reporter (i.e., a reporter protein). Reporter proteins are used to indicate cells that have been successfully infected by the AAV. These reporter proteins include, but are not limited to, green fluorescent protein (GFP), beta-galactosidase, alkaline phosphatase, luciferase, and chloramphenicol acetyltransferase.

[0131] In one embodiment, the exogenous polynucleotide delivered by the AAV vector to a target cell encodes a native protein for therapeutic use, which is codon-optimized or not codon-optimized.

[0132] In one embodiment, the exogenous polynucleotide delivered by the AAV vector to a target cell encodes a synthetic polypeptide.

The pharmaceutical preparation further comprises other ingredients, such as pharmaceutical excipients, water-soluble or organic solvents (e.g., water, glycerol, ethanol, methanol, isopropyl alcohol, chloroform, phenol, or polyethylene glycol), salts (e.g., sodium chloride, potassium chloride, phosphate, acetate, bicarbonate, Tris-HCl, and Tris-acetate), dissolution-delaying agents (e.g., paraffin), surfactants, antimicrobial agents, liposomes, lipoplexes, immunosuppressants (e.g., cortisone, prednisone, cyclosporine), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs, e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen) microspheres, hard matrices, semi-solid carriers, nanospheres, or nanoparticles. In addition, the pharmaceutical preparation can be delivered by inhalation, systemic, or local (e.g., intravenous, subcutaneous, intraocular, intravitreal, subretinal, suprachoroidal, parenteral, intramuscular, intracerebroventricular, oral, intraperitoneal, and intrathecal) administration in a single dose or multiple doses.

[0134] In one embodiment, the present disclosure provides a medicament comprising the AAV vector or transgene expression cassette or gene delivery system of the present disclosure and an excipient. The medicament of the present disclosure can be used to transduce cells in vitro or transduce mammals (e.g., rodents, primates, and humans) in vivo, thereby treating various diseases, such as ocular diseases.

[0135] In the present context, the ocular disease is selected from the group consisting of inherited dystrophy of the retina, glaucoma, glaucoma optic neuropathy, age-related macular degeneration, refractive errors, dry eye, inherited dystrophy of ocular inflammation, ocular inflammation, uveitis, orbital inflammation, cataract, allergic conjunctivitis, diabetic retinopathy, macular edema, corneal edema, keratoconus, proliferative vitreoretinopathy (fibrosis), retinal periph- eral fibrosis, central serous chorioretinopathy, vitreoretinopathy, vitreomacular traction and vitreous hemorrhage. In one embodiment, the ocular disease involves a deterioration of the eye and / or visual function.

[0136] In one embodiment, treating the ocular disease means improving visual acuity, contrast visual acuity, color vision and visual field of the patient receiving the treatment.

[0137] The present disclosure is further described in detail by way of reference to the following drawings and examples. The following examples are intended to illustrate but not limit the scope of the present disclosure. The experimental methods in the examples, for which specific conditions are not mentioned, are performed according to the conventional conditions known in the art, or according to the conditions suggested by the manufacturers.

[0138] Examples

[0139] Example 1: Retinal affinity of AAVH15, AAVXL32, and AAVT13

[0140] AAVT13 capsid (SEQ ID NO: 4) was constructed by replacing the N-terminal region of VP1, VP2 (amino acids 1-203) of AAV8 with the N-terminal region of AAV5 (amino acids 1-192) with a point mutation site G257R and connecting to the AAV5 capsid protein sequence. DNA shuffling experiments were performed to construct AAVH15 capsid protein (SEQ ID NO: 2) and AAVXL32 capsid protein (SEQ ID NO: 14).

[0141] The retinal tropism of the modified AAV serotypes (AAVH15, AAVXL32 and AAVT13) was investigated by intravitreal injection of AAV particles expressing GFP protein in C57BL / 6 mice using WT serotypes AAV5, 8 and 9 as controls. The dose of 2x10 9 vg / eye of each AAV serotype carrying GFP gene was injected intravitreally into C57BL / 6 mice. The images of GFP signal taken 3 weeks after injection are shown in Figure 1A The dose of 2x10 9 vg / eye of each AAV serotype carrying GFP gene was injected intravitreally into C57BL / 6 mice. The images of GFP signal taken 3 weeks after injection are shown in Figure 2 The dose of 2x10

[0142] The results showed that the retinal GFP fluorescence levels in the AAVH15 and AAVT13 groups were significantly higher than those in the AAV5, 8, and 9 groups. Figure 1A ), approximately 10-12 times higher ( Figure 1C ***p<0.001, n=4 eyes / group). The retinal GFP fluorescence level in the AAVXL32 group was also significantly higher than that in the AAV5, 8, and 9 groups ( Figure 1A ), about 5 times higher ( Figure 1C (***p<0.001, n=4 eyes / group). This demonstrates that, compared to wild-type AAV, AAVH15, AAVXL32, and AAVT13 exhibit significantly increased retinal affinity and transduction efficiency.

[0143] Furthermore, despite intravitreal administration, the modified serum types AAVH15 and AAVT13 were still able to diffuse into the photoreceptor layer and even the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Figure 1B and Figure 2 The results showed that serum AAVH15 and AAVT13 were significantly superior to AAV5, 8, and 9. This indicates that serum AAVH15 and AAVT13 have stronger retinal affinity and can deliver genes to all layers of the retina.

[0144] Example 2: Expression of codon-optimized human and murine endostatin-encoding nucleic acid sequences

[0145] In this embodiment, the inventors compared the protein expression capabilities of B110 and B111, which contain codon-optimized endostatin-encoding nucleic acid sequences, with those of plasmids constructed from uncodon-optimized endostatin-encoding nucleic acid sequences (which also carry Flag and HA tags).

[0146] HEK293 cells were transfected with plasmids B110 and B111, and the expression of endostatin in cell lysates was detected by Western blotting. Human and mouse endostatin conjugates without codon optimization served as control groups (original human and original mouse). Endostatin protein expression in each group relative to the original human group was quantitatively analyzed.

[0147] like Figure 3C As shown, the endostatin protein expression levels of the B110 and B111 expression cassettes were significantly higher than those of the uncodon-optimized control group. Quantitative statistical results of the relative protein expression levels showed that the endostatin protein expression levels of the B110 and B111 expression cassettes were 4-6 times higher than those of the uncodon-optimized sequences. Figure 3C (See right figure). The above results demonstrate that the codon-optimized human and murine endostatin-coding nucleic acid sequences of this disclosure have significant advantages in expression compared to the original natural protein-coding sequences.

[0148] Example 3: Expression of codon-optimized human and murine angiostatin-encoding nucleic acid sequences

[0149] In this example, the inventors compared the protein expression ability of B110 and B111 containing codon-optimized angiostatin-encoding nucleic acid sequences with plasmids constructed from non-codon-optimized angiostatin-encoding nucleic acid sequences (also carrying Flag and HA tags).

[0150] HEK293 cells were transfected with B110 and B111 plasmids, and then the expression of angiostatin in cell lysates was detected by Western blotting. Human and murine angiostatin without codon optimization were constructed into plasmids as control groups (original human, original murine). The angiostatin protein expression of each group relative to the original human group was quantitatively analyzed.

[0151] As shown in Figure 3D , the angiostatin protein expression levels of B110 and B111 expression cassettes were significantly higher than those of the non-codon-optimized control groups. The quantitative analysis of the relative expression levels of proteins showed that the angiostatin protein expression levels of B110 and B111 expression cassettes were increased by about 4 times Figure 3D compared with the non-codon-optimized sequences (right panel). The above results showed that the codon-optimized human and murine angiostatin-encoding nucleic acid sequences of the present disclosure had a significant advantage in expression compared with the original natural protein-encoding sequences.

[0152] Example 4: Novel transgene expression cassettes expressing endostatin and angiostatin

[0153] To more stably express anti-angiogenic polypeptides, self-complementary and single-chain AAVs were used. As shown in Figure 3A , the B36 transgene cassette was constructed by adding an ALB signal peptide to the N-terminus of the codon-optimized human endostatin sequence, which enhances the expression and secretion of endostatin protein, and inserting an intron inside it. The CB promoter was used to promote protein expression, and the bGH polyA sequence was used to stop mRNA transcription. The B36 transgene cassette was flanked by a normal ITR and a shortened ITR, so that the expression cassette could be packaged into AAV particles as a self-complementary AAV vector.

[0154] In addition, single-chain AAV transgene expression cassettes B110 and B111 that can express and release endostatin and angiostatin simultaneously were also designed. As shown in Figure 3AAs shown, the B110 cassette includes: two normal ITR sequences, a CB promoter (SEQ ID NO: 5), a codon-optimized human endostatin sequence (SEQ ID NO: 15), a codon-optimized human angiostatin sequence (SEQ ID NO: 16), and a bGH polyA tail (SEQ ID NO: 6). The SP signal peptide is used to control the secretion of endostatin and angiostatin to the extracellular. The coding sequences of the two proteins are connected by a linker containing a Furin protease sequence (KRKRR) + a linker (SGSG) + a F2A sequence, so as to better separate the expression of endostatin and angiostatin during translation. In addition, Flag tags and 2xHA tags are carried on endostatin and angiostatin, so that endostatin and angiostatin can be prepared and purified based on tag-dependent affinity chromatography. For example, commercial Flag M2 magnetic beads (Sigma-Aldrich, item number M8823) can be used for purification of Flag-labeled proteins.

[0155] Similarly, the B111 expression cassette is constructed in a similar manner to B110, with the difference that codon-optimized murine endostatin (SEQ ID NO: 17) and codon-optimized murine angiostatin (SEQ ID NO: 18) are used, and P2A is used instead of F2A for better separation of the expression and secretion of the two proteins.

[0156] The B110 and B111 plasmids are transfected into HEK293 cells and Huh7 cells. After 48 hours, the expression levels of endostatin protein and angiostatin protein in the culture medium are detected by Western blotting. The results are shown in Figure 3B As shown, both the B110 and B111 expression cassettes achieve significant expression of endostatin protein and angiostatin protein. It can be seen that endostatin and angiostatin are successfully expressed and secreted by transfection of the B110 and B111 plasmids, and the B110 and B111 expression cassettes achieve stable expression of the two proteins at the same time.

[0157] Example 5: Inhibition of HUVEC tube formation by novel AAV-mediated delivery of anti- neovascularization proteins

[0158] The production process of anti-angiogenic AAV particles was initiated by transfecting B36, B110, B111 cis-element plasmids, AAVH15 capsid plasmid and adenovirus helper plasmid with 0.2-5 mg / ml PEI, and terminated with 10-35 g / L CDM4 solution in one quarter of the volume of cell culture medium. HEK293 cells were lysed 40-80 hours after transfection, and then the polynucleotides were removed. The supernatant with AAV particles was loaded into AAVX affinity column, and then eluted. The eluted AAV particles were subjected to iodixanol gradient ultracentrifugation, and concentrated to a certain volume for use.

[0159] The transduction efficiency of AAVH15 in HUVEC cells was tested. According to the expression of GFP protein, about 87% of HUVEC cells were infected by AAVHH15 at MOI of 1 x 10 5 vg / cell; the cell transduction rate of AAV decreased to 45.8% at MOI of 1 x 10 4 vg / cell. Figure 4A and Figure 4B When the MOI was reduced to 1 x 10 3 vg / cell, about 10.9% of HUVEC cells showed obvious GFP fluorescence signal.

[0160] As shown in Figure 4C , the HUVEC cells transduced by AAVH15 successfully released endostatin and angiostatin into the conditioned medium.

[0161] HUVEC cells were infected with AAVH15 carrying B36, B110 and B111 expression cassettes (referred to as H15-B36, H15-B110 and H15-B111, respectively) at MOI of 1 x 10 5 and 1 x 10 4 vg / cell. The cells were harvested and transferred to 24-well plates coated with Matrigel for pre-incubation for 45 minutes for tube formation, and images were taken after 6 hours, as shown in Figure 4D . The tube length and branch point number per unit area (mm 2 ) were analyzed by Image J. The results showed that the tube length and branch point number of cells infected with H15-B36, H15-B110 and H15-B111 were significantly reduced compared with the control group (H15-GFP) Figure 4E and Figure 4F . The above results showed that H15-B36, H15-B110 and H15-B111 viral vectors can inhibit the tube formation of HUVEC.

[0162] Example 6: AAV-mediated expression of endostatin and angiostatin inhibits retinal neovascularization and glial cell proliferationFigure 5A

[0163] 2×10 10 AAV particles, administered via intravitreal injection at a dose of vg / eye, were injected into C57BL / 6 mice. These AAV particles possessed an H15 capsid and encapsulated B36, B110, or B111 expression cassettes (referred to as laser-B36, laser-B110, and laser-B111, respectively). Figure 5B As shown, a laser-induced CNV model was established in mice 14 days after viral injection, followed by fluorescein angiography (FFA) and immunofluorescence (IF) 12 days later.

[0164] The results showed that after AAVH15-mediated endostatin and angiostatin treatment, the size of laser-induced CNV clusters was reduced by approximately 75%. Figure 5D and Figure 5B As shown), and the number of CNV clusters has also decreased (as shown). Figure 5E and Figure 5B Simultaneously, AAVH15-mediated angiogenesis inhibition accelerated the recovery of laser-induced lesions. Twelve days after laser-induced retinal injury, compared to the untreated control group (laser model), the lesion volume in different treatment groups was reduced by approximately 50-75%. Figure 5F and Figure 5C To further investigate the cellular mechanisms, the retina was co-stained with the vascular marker IB4 and the retinal glial cell marker GFAP. In a healthy retina, astrocytes or Müller cells surround the blood vessels, showing a clear network. Figure 5G Following laser-induced injury, activated retinal glial cells, including astrocytes and Müller cells, accumulate, forming a glial scar membrane closely associated with CNV clusters. AAVH15-mediated release of endostatin and angiostatin significantly improved retinal condition. Figure 6A As shown, the area covered by the glial cell membrane decreased sharply from 29.9% to about 12% (***p<0.001), indicating inhibition of glial cell proliferation. Therefore, treatment with AAV (which has an H15 capsid and encapsulates B36, B110, or B111 expression cassettes) can reduce angiogenesis and retinal glial proliferation.

[0165] In addition, the therapeutic effect of low-dose AAV particles was investigated. 2 × 10⁻⁶ particles were injected intravitreally into C57BL / 6 mice. 9 AAV particles (vg / eye) with AAVT13 capsids and packaged with B36, B110, and B111 transgenic expression cassettes. For example... Figure 6B to Figure 6DAs shown, a laser-induced CNV model was established in mice 14 days after viral injection, followed by fluorescein angiography (FFA) and immunofluorescence (IF) 12 days later.

[0166] The results show that, Example 7: Inhibition of tumor growth by AAV-mediated expression of endostatin and angiostatin As shown, smaller CNV clusters and laser-induced lesions were observed in the B36 and B111 treatment groups compared with the untreated control group (laser model) (*p<0.05, **p<0.01, n=7 eyes / group), indicating that low-dose AAVT13-mediated expression of endostatin and angiostatin improves angiogenesis and lesion-induced scarring.

[0167] Figure 7A

[0168] To investigate the role of the AAV gene delivery system in cancer therapy, Hepa1-6 mouse liver cancer cells, along with AAVH15 (H15-B36 and H15-B111) carrying B36 and B111 transgenic cassettes, were subcutaneously injected into CByJ.Cg-Foxn1nu / J mice with systemic T cell and partial B cell defects caused by the Foxn1 gene mutation. Figure 7B As shown, Hepa1-6 cells (ATCC CRL-1830) grown in culture dishes were digested with 0.05% trypsin, centrifuged at 800 rpm for 5 minutes, and then resuspended in PBS for mouse injection. 2 × 10⁻⁶ cells were subcutaneously injected into CByJ.Cg-Foxn1nu / J mice (Jackson Laboratory Stock No. 000711). 6 Hepa1-6 cells and 1×10 11 A mixture of AAVH15 (packaged with B36 and B111 expression cassettes, respectively) was administered. Tumor size was measured at 7, 14, and 21 days post-implantation. Mice injected with Hepa1-6 cells and AAV encoding GFP (AAVH15) served as controls.

[0169] like Figure 7C and ​ As observed in the study, on day 14 following cancer cell implantation and treatment with H15-B36 and H15-B111, tumor volume was significantly reduced in the B36 and B111 treatment groups compared to control mice. On day 21 post-treatment, the mean tumor volumes in the B36 and B111 treatment groups were 211.3 and 75.9 mm, respectively. 2 Smaller than the control group (mean tumor volume 2240 mm). 2 One-tenth of the total. These results indicate that AAVH15-mediated endostatin and angiostatin expression have a significant inhibitory effect on tumor growth.
