Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of nanomaterials, and in particular to a metal ion-doped mRNA delivery platform and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] mRNA is a bridge in the process of genetic information transmission, which can encode proteins to make them effective in treating diseases. The mitigation of Covid-19 depends largely on the rapid development and use of mRNA vaccines. Currently commercialized vaccines include two products from Pfizer and Moderna. The carrier used is lipid nanoparticles (LNP) containing four phospholipids. The advantages of LNP include: clear components, high encapsulation rate, and low raw materials. The structure of mRNA encapsulated inside LNP is still unclear for the time being. Existing studies have proposed three models, including multilayer vesicles, nanostructured cores, and uniform core-shells. Another research group's work analyzed the actual mRNA-loaded LNPs based on multicolor spectroscopy technology, accounting for about 20%, and about 80% of LNPs have no mRNA load. Combined with the above work, it was found that there is still room for improvement in the mRNA drug loading in LNP. A higher drug loading corresponds to less phospholipid input, which can, on the one hand, reduce the cytotoxicity that may be caused by ionizable phospholipids, and may ultimately alleviate symptoms such as headache, fatigue and fever caused by the injection of mRNA vaccines; on the other hand, it can slow down the accelerated blood clearance effect caused by the production of Anti-PEG Antibody produced against PEG phospholipids, thereby reducing the efficacy of mRNA vaccines or mRNA drugs.

[0003] In addition, the effectiveness of mRNA vaccines and mRNA drugs still needs to be strengthened. Some studies have improved the effectiveness of vaccines and drugs and enhanced immune function by developing and screening new functional phospholipids, or by combining the delivery of vaccines with adjuvants, but none of them have solved the problems of low mRNA loading capacity and poor practicality of the delivery system. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the technical problem of low mRNA loading amount in the above-mentioned mRNA vaccines or mRNA drugs, the present invention provides a metal ion-doped mRNA delivery platform and a preparation method thereof.

[0005] Specifically, in the first aspect, the preparation method of the metal ion-doped mRNA delivery platform provided by the present invention comprises mixing mRNA with divalent manganese ions and nucleating to obtain core particles; and then encapsulating the core particles with phospholipid molecules. The present invention has developed a platform technology for co-delivery of antigens and manganese ion immune adjuvants with high loading capacity, mild and rapid reaction conditions, and ensures the delivery effect of mRNA while reducing phospholipids. The role of manganese ions in the system is to stimulate the STING pathway as an immune adjuvant, and on the other hand, it is responsible for condensing the mRNA originally loosely distributed in the LNP to increase the loading capacity. The first step reaction time of the overall technology is only 5min, and the reaction temperature is a relatively mild 65°C, highlighting the mild and rapid synthesis conditions. The final in vivo expression and tumor treatment experiments showed a more prominent effect compared to LNP. At the same time, the corresponding phospholipid antibodies in the body were measured to have a lower concentration than traditional LNPs, which is conducive to reducing side effects and has the prospect of further clinical application. In addition, the functional ionizable phospholipids and the delivered mRNA used in this platform technology can be replaced, proving that the mRNA delivery platform (including mRNA vaccines and mRNA drugs) technology of the present invention has a certain universality.

[0006] The LNP-modified mRNA delivery platform provided by the present invention introduces metal ions, which, on the one hand, increases the mRNA loading capacity, increases the efficiency of phospholipid use and reduces the inflammatory side effects caused by some phospholipids (such as ionizable phospholipids or PEG-modified phospholipids); on the other hand, metal ions with immune adjuvant effects can enhance the immune response, thereby achieving the design goal of a safer and more effective mRNA delivery platform.

[0007] According to the present invention, mRNA vaccines / mRNA drugs are immune means with broad application prospects. Among the various mRNA delivery systems that have been developed, LNP is used to combat novel coronavirus infection because of its stability, safety and effectiveness. However, studies have found that some of the phospholipids used in LNP will produce certain inflammatory side effects, and a certain proportion of LNPs have a "no-load" phenomenon. Therefore, the present invention starts from increasing the mRNA loading capacity and increasing the efficiency of phospholipid use, using metal ions to first condense a large amount of mRNA into nuclei, and then uses the LNP formula ratio but a relatively reduced amount to wrap the kernel, in which manganese ions will also have the effect of an immune adjuvant to enhance the immune response, and ultimately produce a safer and more effective mRNA-based delivery platform technology.

[0042] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0043] If no specific technology or conditions are specified in the embodiments of the present invention, the technology or conditions described in the literature in this field or the product instructions are used. If the manufacturer of the devices, instruments, reagents, etc. is not specified, they are all conventional products that can be purchased through regular channels. The raw materials used in the present invention can be easily purchased in the domestic product market.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present invention, by optimizing and transforming the LNP delivery platform, reducing the amount of carrier phospholipids, the immune adjuvant metal ions, manganese ions and antigen mRNA are delivered to the body, and the reaction process temperature is relatively mild, only 65 ° C, and the reaction process is very rapid, only 5 minutes. At the same time, it has been verified that the delivery platform can deliver mRNA of different lengths and can be delivered using different functional phospholipids, with good interchangeability and versatility. All reaction raw materials used in the present invention are FDA-approved products, non-toxic and harmless, with good biocompatibility, and have a wide range of clinical application prospects.

[0045] Example 1. Synthesis and characterization of Mn-mRNA core structure and L@Mn-mRNA core-shell structure

[0046] In this example, the mRNA is luciferase mRNA (1912 nt) and the ionizable phospholipid is SM-102. Specifically, for a reaction volume of 200 μL, a 600 μL EP tube was selected. First, 50 μL of 6 mM Mn 2+ Solution (tetrahydrate manganese chloride aqueous solution) and 130 μL enzyme-free water were mixed, and then 20 μL luciferase mRNA with a concentration of 1 mg / mL was mixed with the former, and then placed on a vortexer for 6 minutes, and then heated at 65 ° C in a metal bath for 5 minutes. After the reaction was completed and returned to room temperature, the unreacted product was removed at a speed of 60000g, and Mn-mRNA particles were dispersed with 200 μL enzyme-free water. Then SM-102, cholesterol, DSPC and DMG-PEG2000 were mixed with anhydrous ethanol as solvent according to the ratio in the preparation (molar ratio 50:38.5:10:1.5), and the volume ratio of anhydrous ethanol: aqueous phase = 1:3, the mass ratio of phospholipid: mRNA = 10:1, and the aqueous phase was quickly injected into the ethanol phase using a pipette, and the mixture was repeatedly blown 100 times, and then left at room temperature for 1 hour. Finally, a dialysis cup with a molecular weight cutoff of 10 kDa was used to replace the excess ethanol in the system to obtain L@Mn-mRNA.

[0047] After obtaining Mn-mRNA and L@Mn-mRNA, the surface morphology was characterized by biological transmission electron microscopy. It was found that Mn-mRNA was a monodispersed spherical particle with a smooth surface, and L@Mn-mRNA had an additional film on this basis. At the same time, after coating with phospholipids, the particle size increased from 65.66nm in the core to 89.01nm in the end. The surface potential increased from -14.6mV of NP to +1.06mV of L@NP. Figure 1 The morphology (a) and particle size and dispersion characterization (b) of Mn-mRNA and L@Mn-mRNA are shown, scale bar = 200 nm.

[0048] Example 2. Comparison of the uptake of L@Mn-mRNA and LNP in DC2.4 cells using Cy-5 labeled luciferase mRNA as a reporter gene

[0049] The same method as in Example 1 was used, except that the mRNA in this example was Cy-5 labeled luciferase mRNA, and the ionizable phospholipid was SM-102 phospholipid. The prepared L@Mn-mRNA and LNP loaded with mLUC were incubated with DC2.4 cells respectively, and the cells were collected after 10 hours. The cells were analyzed by fluorescence quantitative analysis using flow cytometry. The results showed that the fluorescence intensity of L@Mn-mRNA was twice that of LNP. The L@Mn-mRNA prepared by the platform of the present invention had a more efficient cell uptake ability ( Figure 2 ).

[0050] Example 3. Comparison of in vivo expression of L@Mn-mRNA and LNP using luciferase mRNA as reporter gene

[0051] In this example, the mRNA is luciferase mRNA, and the ionizable phospholipid is SM-102 phospholipid. The L@Mn-mRNA prepared in Example 1 and the LNP loaded with mLUC were injected into the tail base of BALB / c mice, and the injection site was imaged using a small animal imaging system for bioluminescence at 6h and 24h after injection. After quantitative analysis, the bioluminescence intensity of L@Mn-mRNA at the injection site was twice that of LNP, which may be due to better cellular uptake ( Figure 3 ).

[0052] Example 4. Verification of L@Mn-mRNA in vivo from Mn 2+ Western blot characterization of activated STING-related immune pathways

[0053] The same method as in Example 1 was used, except that the mRNA in this example was OVA mRNA, and the ionizable phospholipid was SM-102 phospholipid. First, primary bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDC) were extracted from 6-week-old male mice. After incubating L@Mn-mRNA and LNP with BMDC for 24 hours, the cells were lysed to extract intracellular proteins for western blotting characterization of STING-related immune pathways. Quantitative analysis was performed on the downstream gene TBK1 and the corresponding phosphorylated p-TBK1 of the STING-related pathway, and the downstream gene IRF3 and the corresponding phosphorylated p-IRF3. The results of western blotting demonstrated that L@Mn-mRNA activated the STING-related pathway, such as Figure 4 As shown, 1 is the PBS group, 2 is the LNP group, 3 is the half-dose group of L@Mn-mRNA, and 4 is the L@Mn-mRNA group.

[0054] Example 5. Evaluation of the anti-tumor effect of L@Mn-mRNA as a therapeutic vaccine in vivo

[0055] Same as Example 4, except that the mRNA was OVA mRNA and the ionizable phospholipid was SM-102 phospholipid. First, a certain number of melanoma B16-OVA cells were injected into the right back of BALB / c mice to establish a B16-OVA tumor model. One week later, L@Mn-mRNA (mRNA dose 10 μg) / L@Mn-mRNA (5 μg) / LNP (10 μg) / PBS were injected subcutaneously in the groin of both sides of the mice. The volume of the mouse tumor was measured ( Figure 5 ), proving that the L@Mn-mRNA in the present invention has a good therapeutic effect as a therapeutic vaccine.

[0056] Example 6. Verification that the L@Mn-mRNA vaccine platform of the present invention produces lower anti-PEG antibody titers after administration than LNP

[0057] In this example, the mRNA is OVA mRNA, and the ionizable phospholipid is SM-102 phospholipid. Based on Example 5, serum samples of mice in each group were taken before treatment and after the final treatment, and the titers of Anti-PEG IgG and Anti-PEG IgM antibodies before and after administration of each mouse were measured using an ELISA kit. Figure 6 As shown, the vaccine platform of the present invention will produce lower Anti-PEG antibody titers than LNP while having better therapeutic effects, further avoiding the accelerated blood clearance effect and the toxic side effects caused by phospholipids.

[0058] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein.
