Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biomedicine technology, and specifically relates to the preparation and application of self-assembled glycopeptide nanoparticles for mRNA vaccine delivery. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, mRNA vaccines have become an increasingly popular means of treating infectious diseases or cancer. mRNA vaccines have the following advantages: high efficiency, high potential for rapid development, low-cost manufacturing, and safe administration. Since mRNA is easily degraded and needs to be expressed in the cytoplasm, effective mRNA delivery and expression are crucial. However, for mRNA delivery vectors, targeted delivery and lysosomal escape remain challenging, highlighting the need for safe and effective mRNA delivery materials.

[0003] A variety of materials have been developed for mRNA delivery, including lipids, lipid-like materials, polymers, and protein derivatives. Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) can be widely used to deliver small molecules, siRNA, and mRNA and have successfully entered the clinic, but their lack of targeting ability can cause inflammatory responses in non-immune cells and organs (such as the liver and kidneys), posing a significant safety risk. For mRNA cancer vaccines, targeted delivery to lymphoid organs is a promising strategy to improve efficacy and reduce side effects. Peptide-based delivery vehicles have been widely studied, and self-assembling peptides (SAPs) composed of amino acids can spontaneously form nanoparticles, are very suitable for structural modification, and exhibit high biosafety. Although previous studies have reported the use of SAPs to deliver mRNA, they are limited by defects such as poor targeting and expression efficiency.

[0004] The above problems can be solved by structural modification and introduction of adjuvants to enhance the targeting ability and immunostimulatory efficacy of SAPs. Adjuvants are key components for inducing and enhancing the breadth, amplitude and persistence of immune responses. Alum, as the most widely used adjuvant, can effectively induce strong humoral immune responses and CD4 + T cell responses but failed to induce CD8 + T cell response. The results showed that Mn 2+ It is a novel agonist of the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway and has the potential to be used as an adjuvant, especially for enhancing cellular immune responses. 2+ The nonspecific distribution of Mn limits the therapeutic effect and makes 2+ It tends to accumulate in the brain and spinal cord, causing neurotoxicity. Mn can be effectively adsorbed in suitable carriers. 2+ is an indispensable prerequisite for fully utilizing its immune adjuvant function, but this remains a challenge to be solved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] 1) Preparation and purification of self-assembling glycopeptides

[0042] The peptide was synthesized by peptide solid phase synthesis with a synthesis scale of 0.1 mmol, starting from Fmoc-Leu-WangResin with a loading of 0.23 mmol / g. Fmoc removal was performed using a 20% piperidine-DMF solution. The amino acid was activated using DIEA and O-(benzotriazole-1-yl)-N,N,N',N'-tetramethylurea of ​​tetrafluoroborate (TBTU) in N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP), and the Fmoc-amino acid and resin were coupled. Fmoc-amino acid (6.0 eq), TBTU (6.0 eq) and DIEA (12 eq) were automatically added using a peptide synthesizer. Fmoc-12-amino-4,7,10-trioxadodecanoic acid and propargyl-PEG3-carboxylic acid were used as building blocks similar to amino acids and connected to the peptide ( Figure 1). After all building blocks were coupled, the resin was transferred from the peptide synthesizer to a flask and treated with a mixture of trifluoroacetic acid / thioanisole / 1,2-ethanedithiol / anisole (90 / 5 / 3 / 2, v / v / v / v) for 2 hours to cleave the peptide. The crude peptide was purified by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on a Waters e2695 HPLC system equipped with a dual absorbance UV detector. The column was a C18 column (Waters Symmetry PrepTM, 19×300 mm, 7 μm) at a flow rate of 20 mL / min, using a linear gradient of 60%-80% acetonitrile containing 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid for 20 minutes. The target glycopeptide ( Figure 1 ), the azide-modified Man ligand (1.2 eq), the alkynyl-modified peptide (1.0 eq), the catalytic equivalent of trihydroxypropyltriazolemethylamine (THPTA) and CuOAc were dissolved in water, the mixture was stirred at 40°C for 18 hours, lyophilized, the crude product was purified by preparative reverse phase HPLC, and the purity of the glycopeptide was determined by analytical HPLC ( Figure 2 a), MALDI-TOF MS determination of the molecular weight of glycopeptides ( Figure 2 b).

[0043] 2) Preparation and characterization of Man-MPm nanoparticles

[0044] To construct Man-MP nanoparticles, glycopeptide and peptide were dissolved in DNase / RNase-free water, mixed to make Man content reach 10%, added manganese chloride to make manganese ion concentration reach 63.41% (w / w, manganese ion relative to polypeptide), and incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow polypeptide self-assembly. Man-MP and mRNA were shaken and mixed at room temperature for another 30 minutes to make nitrogen-phosphorus ratio reach 8:1 to obtain Man-MPm nanoparticles. Man-Pm and Pm were prepared in the same way, except that Mn was not included. 2+ Finally, the Man-MPm nanoparticles were ultrafiltered and the Mn adsorbed in the Man-MPm was determined by ICP-OES. 2+ The average particle size of nanoparticles was measured using ZetasizerNano ZS90 ( Figure 3 ) and zeta potential ( Figure 4 The nanoparticle morphology was determined using transmission electron microscopy ( Figure 5 ).

[0045] The characterization results show that the Mn finally adsorbed to Man-MPm 2+ The content is 7.41%, the average particle size of the nanoparticles is 70nm, the potential is +25.58mV, and the morphology is spherical.

[0046] III) Determination of the adsorption capacity of Man-MP nanoparticles to mRNA

[0047] The adsorption capacity of Man-MP nanoparticles for mRNA was determined by agarose gel hysteresis test. Different concentrations of Man-MP were mixed with the same amount of mRNA (1 μg) at different N / P ratios. Free mRNA and different Man-MPm complexes were mixed with 5× loading buffer (2.5 μL) and electrophoresed on a 1% agarose gel in Tris-EDTA at 80 V for 30 minutes. The RNA bands were visualized and analyzed by a gel image analysis system. The results are shown in Figure 6 As shown, mRNA can be completely adsorbed when N / P is 2:1.

[0048] IV) Enzyme protection test of Man-MP nanoparticles on mRNA

[0049] To explore the enzymatic protection ability of Man-MP on mRNA, Man-MPm (N / P ratio of 8) was incubated with 75 ng RNase A at 37°C for 10 min. Then, RNase inhibitor and heparin solution were added to the above solution in sequence and incubated at 37°C for 15 min and 50°C for 4 h, respectively ( Figure 7 , Line 5). Finally, the integrity of the mRNA in the nanoparticles was detected by agarose gel electrophoresis. Figure 7 As shown, when Man-MPm nanoparticles are subjected to enzymatic degradation, the displaced mRNA still maintains structural integrity, indicating that the nanoparticles can protect mRNA from enzymatic degradation.

[0050] 5) Man-MP nanoparticle cytotoxicity assay

[0051] DC2.4 cells were cultured at 1 × 10 4 The cells were seeded at a density of 100 μg / mL in a 96-well plate. The next day, cells were treated with a series of concentrations of Man-MPm. After 24 hours, CCK-8 reagent was added to the culture medium and the absorbance was measured at 450 nm after 2 hours of incubation. The results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 8 As shown, the cell viability was still above 80% when the concentration of Man-MP was 128 μg / mL, indicating that Man-MP has high safety.

[0052] VI) Intracellular uptake and lysosomal escape

[0053] To evaluate cellular internalization and lysosomal escape, Man-MPm was prepared using Cy5-labeled mRNA. DC2.4 cells were seeded in confocal culture dishes (1 × 10 5After incubation with Man-MPm (Cy5 mRNA) for different time periods (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 6 h), the cells were washed three times with PBS, stained with DAPI, and analyzed for intracellular uptake ( Fig. 9 After incubation with Man MPm (Cy5 mRNA) for 24 h, the cells were washed three times with PBS, and lysosomes and nuclei were stained with LysoTracker Red and DAPI, respectively, to analyze lysosomal escape ( Fig.10 ). Intracellular fluorescence was observed under a confocal laser scanning microscope. Alternatively, cells were seeded in 6-well plates and incubated with Man-MPm (Cy5 mRNA) for the same time, and intracellular uptake was analyzed by flow cytometry.

[0054] The results showed that the proportion of Cy5-positive DC2.4 cells reached 96.1% 1h after administration, indicating that Man-MPm can be quickly taken up by cells. The Pearson correlation coefficient indicates the co-localization of lysosomes and mRNA. After Man-MPm administration, the Pearson correlation coefficient was less than 0.5, indicating that Man-MPm can promote mRNA to escape from lysosomes.

[0055] VII) Activation of STING pathway by Man-MP nanoparticles

[0056] To study the activation effect of the STING pathway, qRT-PCR was used to detect the in vitro IFN-β and CXCL10 mRNA levels after administration. DC2.4 cells were cultured at 2×10 5 The concentrations of 2+ The total RNA was then extracted with Trizol, reverse transcribed into cDNA, and RT-PCR was performed to calculate 2 -ΔΔCt The primers used in the experiment are shown in Table 1:

[0057] Table 1 Primers used in the experiment

[0059] The results are as follows Fig.11 As shown, the levels of IFN-β and CXCL10 mRNA in DC2.4 cells increased with the addition of manganese ions, indicating that Man-MP nanoparticles have a dose-dependent activation effect on the STING pathway.

[0060] 8) Transfection of mRNA by Man-MP nanoparticles

[0061] For mRNA transfection, DC2.4 cells (1×10 5cells / mL) and incubated overnight. The cells and Man-MPm / Man-Pm / Pm (2μg / mL eGFP-mRNA or Fluc-mRNA) were cultured in serum-free RPMI 1640 for 6 hours and then incubated with serum for 18 hours. Subsequently, flow cytometry was used to quantify the expression of fluorescent proteins. After lysing DC2.4 cells, D-luciferin potassium salt was added as a substrate for firefly luciferase. The fluorescence expression (RLU) was then measured using a chemiluminescence instrument, and the protein content (mg / mL) was determined by the Bradford assay. The expression level of Fluc-mRNA is expressed as RLU / mg. BMDCs were inoculated (2×10 5 cells / mL) and were transfected with eGFP-mRNA using the same method as DC2.4 cells.

[0062] The results are as follows Fig.12 As shown, Man-MP nanoparticles can effectively transfect eGFP-mRNA and Fluc-mRNA into DC2.4 cells, and can effectively transfect eGFP-mRNA into BMDCs.

[0063] IX) Man-MP nanoparticles induce DC maturation and antigen presentation

[0064] BMDCs were collected from healthy C57BL / 6 mice and inoculated in culture dishes (5 × 10 5 Cells / dish) were incubated with complete RPMI1640 medium containing granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF, 20 ng / mL) and interleukin-4 (IL-4, 20 ng / mL) for 7 days to obtain BMDCs. After culturing with Man-MPm / Man-Pm / Pm (2 μg / mL OVA-mRNA) for 24 hours, DC maturation was determined by flow cytometry after staining with anti-CD11c-APC, anti-CD80-PE, and anti-CD86-PE-Cy7 antibodies. b -After staining with PE-Cy7 antibody, antigen presentation by DCs was determined.

[0065] The results are as follows Fig.13 As shown, Man-MP nanoparticles can effectively stimulate BMDC maturation and antigen presentation.

[0066] 10) Targeted delivery of Man-MP nanoparticles to LN

[0067] In vivo distribution and expression were assessed using an in vivo imaging system (IVIS). ManMPm / Man-Pm / Pm containing 10 μg of Fluc-mRNA was subcutaneously injected into female C57BL / 6 mice (6 to 8 weeks old). 24 hours after injection, D-luciferin potassium salt (150 mg / kg) was injected intraperitoneally into the mice. Ten minutes later, the mice were euthanized and isolated LNs were imaged for bioluminescence using the IVIS system.

[0068] The results are as follows Fig.14 As shown, the lymph nodes isolated from the Man-MPm-administered group had the strongest bioluminescence, indicating that Man-MP nanoparticles can achieve effective LN-targeted delivery of mRNA.

[0069] XI) Mouse immunity and tumor prevention model

[0070] For the prevention model, female C57BL / c mice (6 to 8 weeks old) were randomly divided into several groups. Mice were immunized with different formulations containing 10 μg of OVA-mRNA every seven days for a total of two subcutaneous immunizations. On the 7th day after the second administration, blood and LN were collected for analysis of antibody titers and immune cell ratios, respectively. The remaining mice were given 5×10 5 B16F10-OVA cells were added, and the tumor volume was monitored every two days to evaluate the inhibitory effect of the established immune response on tumor growth. The tumor volume was calculated as follows: V = 0.5 × L × W 2 (L is the longest diameter of the tumor and W is the shortest diameter perpendicular to the length).

[0071] The results are as follows Fig.15 As shown, Man-MP nanoparticles can effectively activate the mouse immune system, promote DC maturation and antigen presentation in LN, increase antibody titers in serum, and the proportion of cytotoxic T lymphocytes and antigen-specific CD8 T cells in lymph nodes. The established immune barrier can effectively inhibit tumor growth in mice and prolong the survival period of mice.
