Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of virus vectors, and in particular relates to a capsid protein mutant capable of improving the retinal penetration of AAV viruses and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Adeno-associated virus (AAV) has the characteristics of low immunogenicity, tissue targeting, low integration, and long-term stable expression, making it the preferred vector for in vivo treatment in the field of gene therapy. It is widely used in the research of various diseases such as genetic diseases, cancer, and some chronic diseases. However, it still faces many challenges: First, the production process is complex, the cost is high, and the production capacity is limited; second, high-dose administration may show neurotoxicity and hepatotoxicity, causing safety issues. Third, the ability to infect some tissue cells is weak. For example, it is difficult to infect the posterior retinal cells by intravitreal administration, and it is difficult to infect central nervous cells by intravenous administration. Modification and screening of AAV capsid protein to improve its targeting and transfection efficiency to specific tissues, in order to achieve lower and safer administration doses, is an effective way to solve this problem.
[0003] Due to the existence of the blood-ocular barrier, the eye has a certain immune exemption, local administration is relatively safe, and fundus diseases are mostly single-gene genetic diseases, so ophthalmology has become a hot area for gene therapy. Different fundus diseases have different pathogenesis. When using AAV virus for gene therapy, the cell layers that need to be infected are different. There are two commonly used injection methods in clinical practice: intravitreal injection and subretinal injection. Subretinal injection has a better infection effect, especially for the RPE layer and outer nuclear layer, but this method is more invasive and can easily cause retinal detachment, which may lead to photoreceptor degeneration, visual function damage and glial cell proliferation. Intravitreal injection has a lower surgical risk, but conventional serotypes such as AAV2 and AAV5 can only infect the RGC layer, and have poor infection effects on cones, rods and RPE. Therefore, the development of AAV mutants that can improve the expression ability of the whole eye or can penetrate the RGC layer and inner nuclear layer to infect outer nuclear layer cells and RPE cells is of great significance to solving the problem of delivery vectors for ophthalmic gene therapy.
[0004] Previous studies have shown that mutations in the amino acid sites 561 to 588 of Cap2 can optimize its ability to infect mouse eye tissues, but how to improve the retinal penetration ability of recombinant AAV vectors remains a challenging task. Summary of the invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome at least one deficiency of the prior art and to provide a capsid protein mutant and its application that improves the retinal penetration ability of AAV virus.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is:
[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides: a capsid protein mutant that improves the retinal penetration ability of the AAV virus, obtained by replacing amino acids 561 to 588 of the wild-type AAV2 virus capsid protein with one of the following polypeptides:

[0112] The present invention scheme transfects AAV2-WT virus packaging three-plasmid system (including pAAV2, pAAV-CAG-EGFP, pHelper) and AAV2-mutant virus packaging three-plasmid system (including pAAV2-mutant, pAAV-CAG-EGFP, pHelper) into HEK293T cells in equal amounts, and harvests the virus solution by cell lysis, purifies it by iodixanol ultracentrifugation, and evaluates its yield by QPCR detection of virus titer. Figure 2 This is the pAAV2-Rep2 / Cap2 packaging plasmid map in the embodiment of the present invention; Figure 3 This is the pAAV2-7M8-Rep2 / Cap2-7M8 packaging plasmid map in the embodiment of the present invention; Figure 4 This is the pAAV2-Mut-Rep2 / Cap2-Mut packaging plasmid map constructed in the examples of the present invention; Figure 5 This is the pAAV-CAG-EGFP-HGH expression plasmid map of the virus packaging three-plasmid system in the embodiment of the present invention; Figure 6 This is a map of the pHelper auxiliary plasmid in the three-plasmid system for virus packaging in an embodiment of the present invention.
[0113] The experimental results are as follows Figure 7 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that 8 mutants have a yield lower than 0.5 times that of AAV2-WT, and are identified as low-yield variants and are not verified in vitro; the remaining 25 variants have a yield of 0.54 to 2.63 times that of AAV2-WT, among which the AAV2-ROD-15 variant has the highest yield. These 25 mutants were selected for mouse retinal infection effect testing. The virus yield of Comparative Example 2 (AAV2-7M8) is 0.89 times that of AAV2-WT.
[0114] , Mouse retinal infection effect test
[0115] (1) The samples of the embodiment and comparative example were diluted to 2E+9 vg / µl, and injected into the vitreous cavity of C57BL-6J mice, with 1.5 µl injected into each eye (total virus amount was 3E+9 vg), and 3 mice were injected with each virus;
[0116] (2) 3 weeks after virus injection, the mice were anesthetized and fluorescent fundus imaging (OCT) was performed using the Micron IV small animal retinal imaging system. The imaging parameters were: Gain (dB)-10dB, Frame Rate (fps)-2fps, Exposure-Auto;
[0117] (3) The mouse eyeballs were removed, fixed, embedded in paraffin, sectioned, stained with DAPI, and observed and photographed under a fluorescence microscope.
[0118] In the solution of the present invention, AAV2-WT, AAV2-7M8 and variant viruses were injected into the vitreous cavity of mice. After 3 weeks of virus injection, live fluorescence photography was performed. Among the selected mutants, 19 variants had stronger GFP expression intensity than AAV2-WT. Some of the embodiments and comparative examples with better effects were selected. The results are shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that the expression of AAV2-ROD-04, AAV2-ROD-05 and AAV2-ROD-14 viruses in the whole eye is significantly stronger than that of AAV2-WT virus, and the EGFP expression intensity of comparative example 2 (AAV2-7M8) is similar to that of AAV2-WT virus.
[0119] In order to explore the infection effect on various layers of the retina, the paraffin sections of the eyeball were stained with DAPI, and the results of fluorescence microscopy showed that the variant virus could infect cells of various layers of the retina from RGC to PRC after intravitreal injection, while AAV2-WT only infected RGC layer cells. The variant virus had a stronger infection area and ability to infect the posterior layer of the retina than AAV2-WT. Fig. 9 As shown, the infection range of AAV2-ROD-04, AAV2-ROD-05 and AAV2-ROD-14 mutants is greater than that of AAV2-WT and 7M8, among which AAV2-ROD-04 and AAV2-ROD-05 can almost infect the entire retinal area. From the perspective of infection level, AAV2-WT only infects RGC layer cells, and 7M8 has a certain penetration ability, which can penetrate into the posterior layer of the retina to infect a small number of optic nerve cells. The penetration ability of AAV2-ROD-04, AAV2-ROD-05 and AAV2-ROD-14 variants is stronger than that of AAV2-WT and 7M8, and can infect cells of each layer of the retina from RGC to PRC. Among them, AAV2-ROD-05 has the best infection rate and expression effect on optic nerve cells, proving that the adeno-associated virus variants prepared by the technology of the present invention have significantly improved the infection ability of the posterior layer of the retina.
[0120] The sequence alignment results of adeno-associated virus variant capsid proteins are shown in the figure Fig.10The difference between the sequence of the capsid protein of the adeno-associated virus variant ROD-01 to ROD-19 and the wild-type AAV2 capsid protein is that the sequence of the wild-type capsid protein D561 to R588 (shown in SEQ ID NO.3) is replaced with a polypeptide sequence of 28 to 42 amino acids. Among them, ROD-01 to ROD-07 are partial base replacements, and ROD-08 to ROD-19 are multiple base insertions.
[0121] The amino acid sequence of the wild-type adeno-associated virus capsid protein Cap2 is shown in SEQ ID NO.1, and the sequence of the adeno-associated virus variant 7M8 is shown in SEQ ID NO.2.
[0122] In summary, the adeno-associated virus variant prepared by the scheme of the present invention can significantly enhance the infection range of the AAV2 virus to the retina and the infection ability to the posterior layer of the retina compared with the wild type.
[0123] The amino acid sequence of wild-type adeno-associated virus capsid protein Cap2 is SEQ ID NO.1: (protein ID: YP_680426.1).
[0124] The amino acid sequence of AAV2 adeno-associated virus mutant capsid protein Cap2-7M8 is SEQ ID NO.2:
[0125] .
[0126] The above is a further detailed description of the present invention, which should not be regarded as a limitation on the specific implementation of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in the technical field to which the present invention belongs, simple deduction or replacement without departing from the concept of the present invention is within the protection scope of the present invention.
