Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a nucleotide sequence and combination for inducing RNA interference and reducing and eliminating viral contamination in cells, a method for obtaining a virus-free cell line using this group of nucleotide sequences and combinations, and a continuous cell line free of contaminating viruses obtained using this method, wherein the virus-free cell line is derived from an organism or cell population contaminated by a virus. Background Art

[0002] The Sf9 cell-based baculovirus expression system has been widely used for the expression and production of vaccines, proteins, and genes. However, in 2014, a new type of rhabdovirus was discovered in this cell line, posing a potential safety risk for its use as a source of clinical therapeutic drugs.

[0003] Spodoptera frugiperda rhabdovirus (Sf-rhabdovirus) is a novel rhabdovirus found in Sf (Spodoptera frugiperda) cells (e.g., Sf9, Sf21). The virus was discovered by researchers at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) using degenerate PCR and massively parallel sequencing (MPS). The Sf-rhabdovirus genome is 13,584 base pairs long and primarily consists of five genes encoding conserved proteins: N (nucleocapsid), P (phoprotein), M (matrix), G (glycoprotein), and L (ploymerase). An additional, unidentified gene encodes a non-conserved protein, X, whose function is unknown. Sf-rhabdovirus is a single-stranded (-)RNA virus. Viral replication involves RNA-dependent RNA polymerase within the virion, which transcribes RNA into mRNA, which in turn produces the corresponding proteins. The virus primarily reproduces in the cytoplasm, where it is released by budding. It cannot reproduce alone and can only multiply within living cells.

[0004] There are two main strategies for controlling Sf-Rhabdovirus: one is to remove it during sample production and purification; the other is to remove it directly from Sf9 cells. Removing Sf-Rhabdovirus during the production and purification process increases production costs as drug production increases. Furthermore, the continued presence of Sf-Rhabdovirus in the source cells creates a potential contamination risk, inevitably impacting production. Directly removing Sf-Rhabdovirus from Sf9 cells, on the other hand, avoids viral contamination at the source and effectively controls Sf-Rhabdovirus.

[0005] New insect cell lines that do not contain exogenous viruses have been isolated and used as improved research tools and safer biomanufacturing platforms. In order to completely remove the Sf-rhabdovirus from Sf9 cells, Griekobeck used nucleoside drugs (e.g., 6-azauridine) to treat a starting culture consisting of several cells, and through further amplification and culture, obtained a cell line without Sf-rhabdovirus (patent application number CN201680071306.3). This patent application attempted a method of co-inhibition with multiple drugs in actual screening. The application of multiple antiviral drugs will affect cell metabolism and biosynthesis processes, aggravate cell damage, and affect the ability of cells to recombine and produce viruses after screening. Although other studies have shown that without the addition of antiviral drugs, cell lines with similar growth characteristics and better vitality were obtained through screening (patent application number CN201910317758.0), the efficiency of obtaining virus-free cell lines by this method is very low.

[0006] In summary, the current method of inhibiting Sf-rhabdovirus in Sf9 cells mainly uses nucleoside chemical drugs, but their inhibition mode is broad-spectrum antiviral. While inhibiting the virus, it may hinder the synthesis and transcription of the cell's own genes, causing certain damage to the cells.

[0007] Therefore, there is still a need in the art for methods that can effectively and stably obtain and establish virus-free cell lines from virus-contaminated organisms or cell populations, as well as cell lines that do not contain contaminating viruses and can maintain their original cell biological characteristics and functions (for example, cell viability, ability to produce recombinant viruses, etc.).

[0008] RNA interference (RNAi) is a gene silencing phenomenon induced by double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). When double-stranded RNA homologous to the coding region of endogenous mRNA is introduced into cells, it causes the mRNA to degrade, thereby inducing gene silencing. RNAi was first discovered in Caenorhabditis elegans in 1998 and has since been found in eukaryotic organisms such as fungi, fruit flies, Arabidopsis thaliana, insects, and mammals. The main mechanism of RNAi is that a small single-stranded RNA consisting of 20-30 nucleotides forms a complex with the Argonaute protein. This complex then targets the target RNA sequence through the Watson-Crick base pairing principle, cleaving the corresponding RNA and causing gene silencing.

[0009] Three types of small interfering RNA exist in animal cells: siRNAs (small interfering RNAs), miRNAs (microRNAs), and piRNAs (PIWI-interacting RNAs), each with distinct production mechanisms and effector functions. In insect cells, the RNase III enzyme Dicer-2 recognizes double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) in the cytoplasm and cleaves it into 21nt siRNAs. One strand binds to the Ago2 protein to form the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), while the complementary strand is degraded. The function of Dicer-2 and the RISC complex requires the participation of multiple cofactors, including the dsRNA-binding protein Loqs-PD, Ars2, and heat shock proteins. These proteins assist in the biogenesis of siRNAs by stabilizing the RNA-protein complex or by promoting conformational changes. Following formation of the RNA silencing complex, the 3' end of the RNA becomes methylated, ultimately allowing the siRNA-loaded RISC to mature and recognize the target RNA for cleavage based on base pairing.

[0010] Currently, RNAi has been widely used in fields such as antiviral, gene regulation, and gene therapy. There are three main types of RNA interference: (1) chemically synthesized siRNA, (2) in vitro transcription of long-chain dsRNA and specific or nonspecific siRNA, and (3) siRNA expression vectors. The siRNA expression vector inserts the DNA template sequence corresponding to the siRNA into an expression plasmid. After the plasmid is transferred into the cell, RNA transcription is initiated, forming a hairpin structure of shRNA (small hairpin RNA), which is then cleaved into siRNA under the action of the Dicer enzyme.

[0011] The chemical synthesis method is to customize short siRNA molecules, each targeting a single target. Commercial companies mainly design and customize them for mammalian cells. Currently, commercial siRNA expression vectors are also targeted for in vivo expression in mammalian cells. For Sf9 cells, it is necessary to design and construct plasmids by yourself, and each plasmid targets a single target. A lot of preliminary research is required to determine the effective plasmid, which takes a long time. Therefore, it is necessary to design appropriate siRNA to solve these problems. Long-chain dsRNA is cut into multiple small siRNA molecules after being transferred into cells. These siRNAs can act on multiple targets, thereby improving the efficiency of RNA interference.

[0012] The present invention utilizes RNA interference (RNAi), specifically long-stranded dsRNA, to inhibit Sf-Rhabdovirus replication. By isolating and culturing single-cell clones or multi-cell clones, an Sf-Rhabdovirus-free cell line (SF-RVN) is generated. The RNAi approach not only avoids the addition of exogenous drugs but also reduces risks. Furthermore, there are currently no reports of using RNAi to inhibit Sf-Rhabdovirus in Sf9 cells.

[0046] Established cell lines: These are cell lines that have the potential to proliferate indefinitely when cultured under appropriate conditions. These cell lines have undergone changes (e.g., transformation) in vitro compared to naturally occurring cells in an organism. A second cell line obtained by isolating single cells from a first cell line and then expanding the isolated cells is sometimes referred to as a subclone of the first cell line.

[0047] Derived from an organism: refers to cells obtained directly or indirectly from an organism. Cells can be directly derived from an organism, for example, by obtaining a tissue or organ from the organism and then lysing the tissue or organ to obtain primary cells. Cells can also be indirectly derived from an organism, for example, by isolating a single cell from a cell line derived from the organism and then amplifying the isolated single cell to establish and obtain a cell line.

[0048] The organisms described herein can be insects, particularly Lepidoptera. Lepidoptera refers to any member of the order Lepidoptera, including butterflies and moths, whose adults have four broad or lanceolate wings, typically covered with slightly overlapping, brightly colored scales, and whose larvae are caterpillars. For example, Lepidoptera include, but are not limited to, Spodoptera frugiperda, Trichoplusia ni, or Bombyx mori.

[0050] dsRNA (double-stranded RNA) or double-stranded RNA refers to a double-stranded RNA molecule composed of two reverse complementary RNA sequences. After entering the cell, it can be cut into siRNA, thereby inducing RNA interference.

[0051] siRNA (small interfering RNA), also known as small interfering RNA or short interfering RNA, is a type of double-stranded RNA with a length of generally 19-25 base pairs. It mainly participates in RNA interference, causing mRNA level degradation and leading to the obstruction of protein translation.

[0052] "Comprising" or "including" are synonymous and are open-ended terms that do not exclude the presence of other unrecited components, elements, steps, etc. For example, a composition "comprising" components A, B, and C can consist of components A, B, and C; or the composition can contain not only components A, B, and C, but also one or more other components.

[0092] Example 1 DNA template preparation

[0093] Based on the conserved sequences in the Sf-Rhabdovirus genome (GenBank accession number KF947078.1), eight long dsRNA sequences of 500-900 bp were designed and obtained that specifically targeted the Sf-Rhabdovirus genome and did not target the Sf21 or Sf9 cell genomes. The specific sequences are shown in Table 1, and the corresponding DNA sequences are shown in Table 2.

[0101]

[0102] The total mRNA of Sf9 cells and Sf-rhabdovirus was extracted using RNeasy Plus Mini kit (Qiagen, 74134), and then the mRNA was reverse transcribed to synthesize cDNA (the kit used was III First-Strand Synthesis System for RT-PCR, Invitrogen, 18080051).

[0103] The cDNA was amplified by PCR using 8 pairs of designed and synthesized specific primers (specific sequences are shown in Table 3) (the kit used was Pyrobest DNA polymerase, Takara, R005A), and 8 specific DNA templates were amplified (the reaction program was 94°C for 3 min; 28 cycles for 94°C for 30 s, 60°C for 30 s, 72°C for 1 min; 72°C for 10 min; 8°C + ∞). The PCR amplification results are shown in Figure 1 , and recover the DNA templates respectively.

[0107] Eight specific DNA templates (dsRNA-N, dsRNA-P, dsRNA-M, dsRNA-G, dsRNA-L1, dsRNA-L2, dsRNA-L3, and dsRNA-L4) were ligated to T-vectors and sequenced. Sequencing results showed that the synthesized specific DNA templates matched sequences found in the Sf-Rhabdovirus genome.

[0108] The 8 pairs of specific T7 primers designed and synthesized (specific sequences are shown in Table 4) were used to perform PCR amplification on the products recovered from the specific DNA templates (the kit used was Pyrobest DNA polymerase, Takara, R005A), and 8 specific T7 DNA templates were amplified (the reaction program was 94°C for 3 min; 30 cycles for 94°C for 30 s, 58°C for 30 s, 72°C for 1 min; 72°C for 10 min; 8°C + ∞). The PCR amplification results are shown in Figure 2 , the product was recovered and used for dsRNA synthesis.

[0116] Example 3 Sf-Rhabdovirus Detection Method

[0117] To verify the presence of Sf-Rhabdovirus in cells and culture supernatant, RNA was extracted from the supernatant of transfected cells and cells and supernatants at different passages, and RT-PCR was used to detect Sf-Rhabdovirus (see: Ma et al., J. Virol. 88:6576-85, 2014). Furthermore, to more accurately and precisely detect the presence of Sf-Rhabdovirus, a set of primers and probes were designed based on the Sf-Rhabdovirus L sequence (Genbank: KF947078.1) using Primer Premier 6.25. One-step quantitative RT-PCR (RT-QPCR) was used to quantify the Sf-Rhabdovirus content. RNA was first extracted from cells and culture supernatant, and then one-step RT-QPCR was performed using the TaqMan RNA-to-CT 1-Step Kit (ABI / Thermo, 4392938) according to the manufacturer's instructions to detect Sf-Rhabdovirus content.

[0118] Example 4 dsRNA transfection of cells

[0119] Sf9 cells were cultured in serum-free medium (ESF AF, Expression Systems). First, eight synthesized dsRNAs and transfection reagents (Cellfectin TM II Reagent, Invitrogen, 10362100) was used for single transfection. The transfection conditions refer to Cellfectin TMII Reagent Kit (Invitrogen, 10362100) was used as described in the instructions. Two days after cell transfection, the Sf-Rhabdovirus content in the culture supernatant was measured using the same assay as described in Example 3. RT-PCR assays revealed that each of the eight dsRNAs significantly reduced Sf-Rhabdovirus content compared to untransfected Sf9 cells (results not shown). RT-QPCR results are shown in Table 6, where + indicates a positive control without dsRNA.

[0120] Table 6 Sf-Rhabdovirus content in the supernatant of cells transfected with 8 dsRNAs alone

[0121]

[0122] The results showed that the eight designed and synthesized dsRNAs had a significant inhibitory effect on Sf-Rhabdovirus after being transfected into Sf9 cells alone. The content of Sf-Rhabdovirus in the cell supernatant was significantly reduced, among which M-dsRNA had the most obvious inhibitory effect, decreasing by 67.8%.

[0123] Subsequently, transfection was performed using multiple dsRNA combinations, and the Sf-Rhabdovirus content in the supernatant culture medium was assayed to verify the inhibitory effect of the dsRNA combination on Sf-Rhabdovirus, using the same assay method as described in Example 3. RT-QPCR test results are shown in Table 7, where + indicates a positive control without dsRNA addition.

[0124] Table 7 Sf-Rhabdovirus content in the supernatant of cells transfected with different dsRNA combinations

[0125]

[0126] The results showed that compared to single dsRNAs, different dsRNA combinations further improved the inhibitory effect against Sf-Rhabdovirus, with M+P reducing activity by 76% and M+N+P+G+L4 reducing activity by 75%. Ultimately, M+P and M+N+P+G+L4 were selected for further research and validation.

[0127] Example 5 Screening of Sf-virus-free cell clones and identification of Sf-rhabdovirus

[0128] Sf9 cells were transfected with either M+P or M+N+P+G+L4, respectively. The cells were washed and then transfected. Two days after transfection, the cells were washed, resuspended, and isolated by limiting dilution into single cells (1 cell / well) or multiple cells (5 cells / well). The cells were expanded and cultured in normal culture medium to form single-cell and multi-cell clones. Samples were then collected for Sf-Rhabdovirus testing, as described in Example 3.

[0129] Finally, the M+P combination screened out 1 Sf-Rhabdovirus-free cell line (from a single cell clone of 1 cell / well), while the M+N+P+G+L4 combination screened out 10 Sf-Rhabdovirus-free cell lines (3 of which were from a single cell clone of 1 cell / well and 7 were from multi-cell clones of 5 cells / well).

[0130] Two of the selected Sf-Rhabdovirus-free cell lines, 38C3 and 38B4 (both from polyclonal clones with 5 cells / well), were selected for further validation. The 38C3 and 38B4 cells were further expanded in culture. The P0 generation was defined as the time when the cells were expanded into T25 flasks. The cells and supernatant culture medium of different generations were assayed for Sf-Rhabdovirus using the same assay method as described in Example 3. The results of the Sf-Rhabdovirus assay are shown in Table 8.

[0131] Table 8 Screened Cells Sf-Rhabdovirus Detection

[0132]

[0133] In summary, the designed long-chain dsRNA effectively inhibited Sf-Rhabdovirus and established a stable Sf-Rhabdovirus-free cell line (SF-RVN cells). This conclusion was based on highly sensitive RT-PCR and RT-QPCR results. These methods demonstrated that Sf-Rhabdovirus was not detected in SF-RVN cells (a screened Sf-Rhabdovirus-free cell line) or in the supernatant culture medium after at least 17 passages.

[0134] Functional studies of the screened SF-RVN cells revealed that SF-RVN cells and Sf9 cells shared similar basic cell growth characteristics, including cell viability, cell diameter, and cell aggregation rate (results not shown). SF-RVN cells and Sf9 cells were essentially equivalent in terms of baculovirus passage stability and recombinant AAV virus production (results not shown), indicating that the methods of the present invention did not affect the activity of Sf9 cells.

[0135] The above results show that the screened SF-RVN cells can completely replace Sf9 cells and become safe production cells for proteins, viruses and vaccines.
