[0065] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this application.
[0066] The core of this application is to provide a method, device, and medium for predicting the transfection efficiency of mRNA vaccines, which can be used to predict the transfection efficiency of mRNA vaccines and quantify the transfection efficiency of vaccine formulations, providing support for researchers to optimize the design of mRNA vaccines.
[0067] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0068] Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating a method for predicting mRNA vaccine transfection efficiency provided in this application embodiment is shown below. Figure 1 As shown, methods for predicting mRNA vaccine transfection efficiency include:
[0069] S10: Obtain vaccine formulation data and predict demand.
[0070] S11: Determine the corresponding prediction model based on the prediction requirements; wherein, the prediction model is a relationship model between vaccine formulation data and transfection efficiency constructed based on any one of the following models: nuclear ridge regression model, linear regression model, and lightGBM model.
[0071] S12: Predict transfection efficiency using a defined prediction model based on the vaccine formulation data to be tested.
[0072] In step S10, the vaccine formulation data includes mRNA characteristics, experimental conditions, ionizable lipid characteristics, and liposome formulation characteristics. The prediction requirements, in addition to predicting vaccine transfection efficiency, also include understanding the impact of each characteristic variable in the vaccine formulation data on transfection efficiency, and ranking the importance of each characteristic variable.
[0073] In step S11, the prediction model includes a relationship model between vaccine formulation data and transfection efficiency constructed based on any one of the following models: ridge-nuclear regression model, linear regression model, and lightGBM model. While the linear regression model performs slightly worse in predicting vaccine transfection efficiency compared to the ridge-nuclear regression model and the lightGBM model, it can describe the trend of transfection efficiency as the characteristic variables in the vaccine formulation data change within a specific range, thus possessing good interpretability. The lightGBM model can describe the importance of the characteristic variables in the vaccine formulation data.
[0074] In step S12, the characteristic variables in the vaccine formulation data are specifically input into the determined prediction model, and the corresponding transfection efficiency can be output. In this embodiment, antibody titer (IgG) is used as a measure of vaccine transfection efficiency.
[0075] This application provides a method for predicting the transfection efficiency of mRNA vaccines, comprising: acquiring vaccine formulation data and prediction requirements; determining a corresponding prediction model based on the prediction requirements; wherein the prediction model is a relationship model between vaccine formulation data and transfection efficiency constructed based on any one of the following models: cerebellopontine regression model, linear regression model, and lightGBM model; and using the determined prediction model to predict the transfection efficiency of the vaccine formulation data. This application predicts vaccine transfection efficiency through a model, which can quantify the transfection efficiency of vaccine formulations and provide support for researchers in the optimized design of mRNA vaccines.
[0076] Based on the above embodiments, this application embodiment obtains multiple vaccine formulation data from a database using preset keywords; filters the multiple vaccine formulation data according to preset standards to obtain multiple target vaccine formulation data; determines the antibody titer corresponding to each target vaccine formulation data as a prediction object, and determines the feature variables in the target vaccine formulation data; wherein, the feature variables include mRNA characteristics, experimental conditions, ionizable lipid characteristics, and liposome formulation characteristics; antibody titer is used to measure vaccine transfection efficiency; and constructs the prediction model based on the feature variables and the prediction object. Before constructing the prediction model based on the feature variables and the prediction object, the method further includes: determining the continuous variables among the feature variables; and performing data standardization processing on the continuous variables and the prediction object respectively. For ease of understanding, this is described in detail below.
[0077] Using "mRNA," "vaccine," and "virus" as preset keywords, we searched the Web of Science website for literature related to mRNA vaccine formulations (mRNA-LNP formulations) using nanoliposomes as a delivery system. To control for variables, we used preset criteria to screen and record vaccine formulation data from the literature. The specific criteria are as follows:
[0078] 1. The mRNA in the formula contains only a single antigen (encoding single antigen).
[0079] 2. The nanoliposome formulation consists of the following four lipid components: distearate phosphatidylcholine (DSPC), cholesterol, dimyristoyl glycerol-polyethylene glycol 2000 (DMG-PEG2000), and ionizable lipids.
[0080] 3. All experimental testing time spans do not exceed one year.
[0081] 4. The experiment only includes no more than two vaccine injections.
[0082] 5. No virus challenge test was conducted.
[0083] Following this standard, 20 papers meeting the criteria were selected, yielding 365 sets of target vaccine formulation data. These data were randomly divided into training and testing sets at an 8:2 ratio. The training set, containing 292 formulations, was used to train the model and select parameters, while the testing set, containing 73 formulations, was used to measure the model's generalization ability and predictive performance.
[0084] We collected data on 365 target vaccine formulations from 20 papers, describing the formulations from four perspectives: mRNA characteristics, experimental conditions, ionizable lipid characteristics, and liposome formulation characteristics. A total of 37 feature variables were identified, and their names and meanings are shown in Table 1. The characteristics of ionizable lipids mainly stemmed from descriptions of their head, junction, and tail structures. Simultaneously, we collected antibody titers (IgG) from the experimental records of each target vaccine formulation, and used the logarithm (logIgG) as a measure of vaccine transfection efficiency. Predicting the transfection efficiency of mRNA-LNP formulations using the collected data and extracted feature variables allows us to further analyze the impact of ionizable lipid structural characteristics on transfection efficiency, providing insights and guidance for the selection and design of ionizable lipids in subsequent mRNA-LNP formulations.
[0085] Before fitting the model, all continuous variables in the prediction object and feature variables are standardized to have a mean of 0 and a variance of 1, eliminating the scaling of the influence coefficients caused by different units. This allows us to directly judge the importance of variables from the absolute value of the influence coefficients, and the predictive ability of the model can be directly observed from the model evaluation metrics.
[0086] Table 1 Description of Feature Variables and Predicted Objects
[0087]
[0088]
[0089] Based on the above embodiments, this application constructs a prediction model based on a kernel-ridge regression model, including: mapping feature variables and prediction objects to a nonlinear space; fitting the feature variables and prediction objects to a fifth-order polynomial kernel in the nonlinear space to obtain a nonlinear function; and determining the target parameters of the nonlinear function based on the minimum loss function of the kernel-ridge regression model to obtain the prediction model.
[0090] Kernel-ridge regression is an efficient nonlinear prediction model. Essentially, it maps feature variables to a nonlinear space and uses kernel tricks to achieve linear fitting. The result corresponds to a nonlinear function in the original space. A fifth-order polynomial kernel can be used to fit the prediction of transfection efficiency using the above 37 feature variables, and the model's performance on the test set can be evaluated. Let y i To predict the logIgG titer of the target, x i ∈R 37 Let x be the input vector, i = 1, ..., n, n = 317. i →Φ i =Φ(x i ) is the variable x i A mapping. Kernel ridge regression finds the optimal parameter w, that is, the parameter w corresponding to the minimum value of the following loss function (C1), the loss function is:
[0091]
[0092] Here, λ is the model penalty coefficient, and we selected the optimal value through five-fold cross-validation. The ribocytic regression model has a relatively accurate predictive ability for mRNA transfection efficiency. Despite obtaining relatively accurate predictions, the model's shortcomings lie in its poor interpretability and inability to measure the relative importance of feature variables to the predicted object.
[0093] Based on the above embodiments, this application embodiment constructs a prediction model based on the Lasso Regression Model (LASSO) and the Linear Regression Model, including: using the Lasso Regression Model to select target feature variables from feature variables; using the Linear Regression Model to perform linear regression fitting on the target feature variables and the prediction objects corresponding to the target feature variables, and determining the parameters corresponding to each feature variable through the minimum loss function of the Linear Regression Model to obtain the prediction model.
[0094] To further filter relatively important target feature variables, we use the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) model for feature selection. LASSO forces some feature variables to have their parameters reduced to zero by applying an L1 penalty term. Feature variables with non-zero parameters are considered to have relatively higher explanatory power for the predicted object, thus achieving the effect of feature selection. Specifically, the goal of the LASSO model is to minimize the following loss function:
[0095]
[0096] Here, γ represents the penalty term for model complexity, and its value was selected through five-fold cross-validation. The final model selected 22 target feature variables from 37 feature variables, including 5 mRNA-related features, 6 experimental condition features, 7 ionizable lipid structure features, and 4 liposome formulation features. Due to the bias in the parameter w obtained from the LASSO regression, the target feature variables selected by the model were further fitted with linear regression. The parameters of the linear regression were used to determine the relative magnitude of the impact of each target feature variable on transfection efficiency, quantifying the positive or negative correlation between the target feature variables and transfection efficiency.
[0097] Let z i ∈R 22 The goal of linear regression is to minimize the following loss function:
[0098]
[0099] Table 2 presents the parameters related to the formulation characteristics of ionizable lipids and nanoliposomes in the linear regression model established using these 22 target feature variables. The impact of these features on transfection efficiency is also discussed. Taking the variable `tail_number` as an example, the coefficient -0.52 is generally interpreted as follows: With other feature variables equal, for every standard deviation increase in the number of tails of the ionizable lipid, the transfection efficiency (logIgG titer) decreases by 0.52. Of course, due to the inevitable collinearity between variables, for example, an increase in the number of tails may affect the lipophilicity of the ionizable lipid (logP, corresponding to the variable name XlogP3), and changes in logP will also affect transfection efficiency. Here, it is assumed that the change caused by the change in the number of tails themselves is greater, thus the relative impact of this feature variable remains unchanged. In actual prediction, multiple feature variables will change simultaneously with changes in ionizable lipids. The effects of these feature variables can be superimposed; for example, with mRNA-related features and experimental condition-related variables remaining constant, the impact of different ionizable lipids on transfection efficiency can be compared.
[0100] Table 2. Parameters of ionizable lipid and nanoliposome formulation-related characteristics in linear regression.
[0101]
[0102]
[0103] The results in Table 2 indicate that the longest carbon chain length, the carbon chain length from the head nitrogen atom to the linker, the nitrogen-to-phosphorus ratio, the number of tails, the proportion of ionizable lipids, and the ratio of ionizable lipids to DSPC and PEG are the most important factors affecting transfection efficiency.
[0104] Linear regression model results indicate that, from the perspective of ionizable lipid structure, the carbon chain length from the head nitrogen atom to the linker and the maximum carbon chain length have a positive impact on transfection efficiency. Lipophilicity, the carbon chain length from the head nitrogen atom to the head hydroxyl oxygen atom, the presence of a carboxyl tail, and the number of tails have a negative impact on transfection efficiency. From the perspective of nanoliposome formulation, the proportion of ionizable lipids, the nitrogen-to-phosphorus ratio, and the ratio of ionizable lipids to DSPC and PEG have a positive impact on transfection efficiency.
[0105] This application uses a model to predict vaccine transfection efficiency, quantifying the transfection efficiency of vaccine formulations and providing support for researchers in optimizing the design of mRNA vaccines. It attempts to use the model to screen key characteristic variables and quantify their impact on transmissibility, thereby providing more specific optimization directions for the design of future mRNA delivery systems.
[0106] Based on the above embodiments, this application embodiment constructs a prediction model based on the lightGBM model, including: randomly selecting several feature variables at each bifurcation point of the lightGBM model and iterating through them to determine the optimal split point; determining the importance ranking of the feature variables based on the number of times the feature variables are selected; and constructing a prediction model based on the importance ranking of the feature variables and the optimal split point.
[0107] Tree models are based on a greedy algorithm, randomly selecting a subset of features at each branch point and iterating through them to find the optimal split point. Based on this characteristic, the advantage of tree models lies in their ability to rank features by the number of times they are selected. We employ the lightGBM model within tree models, using the aforementioned 37 feature variables to predict transfection efficiency. Figure 2 This application provides an example of a feature variable importance ranking chart, which can be compared and analyzed with the parameters of a linear regression model. Unlike the parameters of a linear regression model, the tree model fits a non-linear relationship. Figure 2It can be concluded that characteristic variables related to experimental conditions are the most important factors affecting transfection efficiency, such as testing time, dosage, and route of administration. Secondly, characteristic variables related to mRNA, such as cap type and pseudouridine modification, also have a significant impact on transfection efficiency. Characteristic variables related to ionizable lipids and formulations, such as lipophilicity, pKa, and nitrogen-to-phosphorus ratio, also rank high in importance among characteristic variables. Among the characteristics of ionizable lipids, lipophilicity, pKa, longest carbon chain length, number of carbon atoms between the nitrogen atom and hydroxyl group in the ionizable lipid head, number of linkers, number of carbon atoms between the nitrogen atom in the head and the linker, and whether the ionizable lipid head has a hydroxyl group are relatively important influencing factors.
[0108] Based on the above embodiments, after obtaining the prediction model, the present application further includes: calculating the root mean square error and the coefficient of determination based on the predicted value and the true value of the prediction model; and determining the accuracy of the prediction model based on the root mean square error and the coefficient of determination.
[0109] To measure the predictive performance of the prediction model, the root mean square error (RMSE) and the coefficient of determination (R²) are used. 2 R is used as a metric. RMSE measures the error between the predicted and actual values; a smaller RMSE value indicates a better predictive performance. 2 RMSE measures the correlation coefficient between predicted and actual values; a higher value indicates a better predictive performance. 2 The calculation method is as follows:
[0110]
[0111]
[0112] Among them, y i This is the true value of the logIgG titer. These are the model's predicted values. This refers to the mean of the true values.
[0113] Table 3 compares the prediction performance of the three prediction models on the test set. The information in the table shows that the ridge-nuclear regression and the littleGBM model are similar in predictive ability and outperform the linear regression model. Both ridge-nuclear regression and littleGBM models are non-linear models, which can better describe the complex relationship between feature variables and the predicted object. Therefore, the advantage of these two models lies in accurately predicting the transfection efficiency of mRNA vaccines.
[0114] Table 3 Predictive Performance of Three Models
[0115]
[0116]
[0117] Although the predictive power of linear regression models is weaker than that of nonlinear models such as the ribocytic regression model and the LighGBM model, their conclusions are more interpretable. Furthermore, the performance and consistency of nonlinear and linear regression models in relative conclusions are compared. That is, given two mRNA-LNP formulations, are the conclusions of the two models correct or consistent in judging the relative magnitude of transfection efficiency?
[0118] The results showed that the accuracy of the kernel-ridge regression model in determining relative magnitudes was 87.7%, while the accuracy of the linear regression model was 81.5%. The consistency between the conclusions of the kernel-ridge regression model and the linear regression model was 81.5%. Figure 3 This application provides an embodiment of a distribution chart showing the absolute value distribution of the difference in actual transfection efficiency between any two formulations in a test set. Figure 3 This reflects the absolute value distribution of the difference in actual transfection efficiency between any two formulations in the test set, and is classified according to whether the prediction conclusions of the two models are consistent. The horizontal axis represents the absolute value of the logIgG difference; the vertical axis represents the frequency; the black part represents the part with consistent conclusions; the gray part represents the part with inconsistent conclusions. Figure 3 We can see that when the conclusions of the two models are inconsistent, the predicted transfection efficiencies of the two formulations are relatively close. Based on the above results, although the linear regression model cannot provide a very accurate prediction of transfection efficiency, its performance in predicting relative conclusions is close to that of the nonlinear model. In summary, the linear regression model describes the trend of the predicted object as the relatively important characteristic variables change within a specific range. Its conclusions can be used for comparisons between ionizable lipids or formulations and have good interpretability. Therefore, medicinal chemists can choose the appropriate model from the three models according to different purposes and needs.
[0119] Based on the above conclusions, we searched the literature for new mRNA-LNP formulations to validate our findings. Experimental data from these formulations showed that, while ensuring consistent mRNA-related characteristics and experimental conditions, different ionizable lipids resulted in varying vaccine transfection efficiencies. We used a linear regression model to predict the transfection efficiency difference between the two liposome formulations. Our linear regression model results were consistent with the experimental findings of the four articles. Table 4 describes the mRNA-LNP formulations we used for comparison. Table 5 presents our validation results.

[0123] Table 5 Model Prediction Results
[0124]
[0125] Taking the first formulation as an example, lipid5 has a longer head nitrogen atom to linker carbon chain length and lower lipophilicity compared to MC3. These factors positively influence transfection efficiency. Meanwhile, although the larger head nitrogen atom to hydroxyl carbon number, more tails, and shorter maximum carbon chain length have some negative impacts, the positive contributions outweigh the negative ones. Therefore, overall, under the same mRNA and experimental conditions, lipid5 performs better than MC3.
[0126] Based on the above conclusions and validation results, we used a linear model to compare the transfection efficiencies of three ionizable lipids—SM-102, ALC-0315, and DlinDMA—under the same mRNA and experimental conditions. We then used a t-test to demonstrate the significance of the differences, followed by wet-lab validation. The model prediction results are shown in Table 6.
[0127] Table 6. Model Predictions and t-test Results
[0128] formula Poor predicted transfection efficiency T-statistic p-value ALC0315 vs SM102 +2.11 0.01 ALC0315 vs DLinDMA +1.29 0.07 DLinDMA vs SM102 +0.55 0.28
[0129] The results showed that SM102 and DLinDMA had higher transfection efficiencies than ALC0315, while SM102 had a higher transfection efficiency than DLinDMA. Significant differences in transfection efficiency (90% significance) were found between ALC0315 and SM102, and between ALC0315 and DLinDMA, while the difference between DLinDMA and SM102 was not significant. Note that the linear regression model used here discards some relatively unimportant features compared to a nonlinear model; therefore, we adopted a significance level slightly lower than the usual 95% statistical level, but we still consider these results valid.
[0130] Wet assay results showed that the transfection efficiency of the mRNA delivery systems encapsulated with DLinDMA and SM102 was significantly higher than that of ALC0315. Meanwhile, the transfection efficiency of SM102 was higher than that of DLinDMA, but the trend was not significant. These results are consistent with the model predictions. An example of the wet assay is described below.
[0131] Example 1: According to the formulation table in Table 7, the transfection efficiency of SM-102 and ALC-0315 ionizable lipids was compared. The model was used to predict the transfection efficiency of LNP-mRNA vaccine, and relevant experiments were conducted to verify the results.

The prepared LNP-mRNA was then added to a dialysis bag, which was placed in PBS and dialyzed for 12 hours. After sample collection, ultrafiltration was performed using a Milpore 30KD ultrafiltration tube, centrifuged at 3000g for 20 minutes, and then stored in pH 7.4 PBS solution at 4°C.
[0137] Formulation evaluation of LNP-mRNA: Quant-iT TM RNA reagent is a highly sensitive fluorescent nucleic acid staining agent capable of detecting 1-200 ng of nucleic acid in solution. This nucleic acid dye cannot pass through LNPs, therefore only free nucleic acids not encapsulated by LNPs can be bound. Triton-100, as a surfactant, is often used as a demulsifier. Treating LNP-mRNA with 2% Triton-100 can release the encapsulated nucleic acid, yielding the total nucleic acid amount. The drug loading is obtained by calculating the difference in nucleic acid amount before and after demulsification, and then divided by the total nucleic acid amount to obtain the encapsulation efficiency, i.e.: Encapsulation efficiency (%) = (quantitative amount after demulsification - quantitative amount before demulsification) / quantitative amount after demulsification.
[0138] Particle size and potential determination: The sample was diluted with 10 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.4), and the particle size and potential were measured using a Malvern laser particle size analyzer.
[0139] Cellular evaluation of LNP-mRNA: Cationic polymers can form complexes with negatively charged mRNA. These complexes cross the membrane (either through membrane fusion or endocytosis) and are "eaten" by the cell, thus carrying the target mRNA into the cell. Approximately 24 hours after transfection, transfection efficiency and protein expression can be assessed. Two cell lines, 293T cells and mouse hepatocellular carcinoma cells (Hepa), were selected for comparison of transfection efficiency and the fluorescence intensity of expressed proteins. LNP-mRNA was administered at a dose of 0.5 μg mRNA / dose. For detection, transfection efficiency was calculated as (number of positive cells / total number of cells at detection) * 100%, and the fluorescence intensity of expressed proteins was also measured. 24 hours before transfection, cells were seeded in 12-well plates at a density of 5 x 10⁴ cells, and the medium was changed before transfection. A certain volume of LNP-mRNA was diluted with serum-containing culture medium, and after incubation for 24 and 48 hours, the expressed fluorescent protein was detected by flow cytometry.
