Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of biomedical technology, specifically to a delivery system that targets and inhibits GDF8 and its application in the preparation of products for treating muscular dystrophy. Background Technology

[0002] Lewis lung cancer is a cell line (LLC) established from the lungs of C57BL mice carrying tumors resulting from the implantation of primary Lewis lung cancer. It is widely used as a model of metastasis and can be used to study the mechanisms of cancer chemotherapy agents.

[0003] RNAi drugs have provided a new direction for research on muscle atrophy. RNA interference (RNAi) is a ubiquitous gene silencing phenomenon in organisms, mediated by small interfering RNA (siRNA) and involving specific enzymes. It blocks gene expression at the transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and translational levels, thereby exerting its biological effects. It is now clear that siRNA can be produced endogenously by cells, i.e., cleaved by the endonuclease Dicer from linear long double-stranded RNA, or introduced exogenously to exert its effects directly. Figure 2 By designing suitable siRNAs, RNAi can theoretically be used to silence almost all genes. This species-conserved, efficient, and sequence-specific gene silencing technology can not only be used for basic research by knocking down specific genes, but also has great potential to become a new type of drug to interfere with the expression of disease-causing genes, thereby playing a role in gene therapy.

[0116] Example 2

[0117] In vitro assembly and validation of a targeted siRNA self-assembly system:

[0118] 1. Design and effectiveness of self-assembly system:

[0119] according to Figure 1The design diagram shows the construction of an siRNA self-assembly system. According to the design, after the system is introduced into mammalian tissues and cells, it can utilize the mammalian's own miRNA processing and secretion mechanism to self-assemble into exosomes (core gene loops) containing siRNA. In addition, by adding muscle-targeting peptide (MSP) and co-expressing it with the exosome membrane Lamp2b protein, the exosome membrane surface simultaneously expresses the MSP-targeting peptide, which is then secreted into the circulatory system and enriched in muscle cells through targeting elements.

[0120] First, each element was constructed, and the effectiveness of each element was verified in vitro using 293T tool cells (HEK-293T). The transcription efficiency of the self-assembly system for siRNA was detected, and it was tested whether the siRNA was effectively encapsulated into the cell supernatant exosomes.

[0121] The empty vector was treated with restriction endonucleases, and the linear vector was recovered. The GDF8 siRNA sequence was then inserted into the pre-miR-155 backbone using T4 ligase to form an siRNA expression element, which was then ligated into the vector. The FLAG-Lamp2b and MSP-Lamp2b sequences were used as targeting elements and ligated into the vector. The resulting ligation products were transformed and plated on antibiotic plates. Single clones were picked the following day, and sequencing was performed to confirm the correctness of the plasmid sequence.

[0122] Figure 3 The results showed that after the designed mature siRNA sequences targeting GDF8 (SEQ ID No. 1-SEQ ID No. 4) were loaded into gene loops, in vitro experiments screened out gene loops that could effectively inhibit GDF8 expression. The results showed that normal expression of the four mature siRNAs could be detected when cells were collected 24 hours after transfection.

[0123] Among them, CMV-MSP-siR-4 was most stably expressed in cells and supernatant exosomes, and the knockdown effect was most significant in 293T cells.

[0124] Figure 4 This demonstrates how transfecting a GDF8 overexpression plasmid (expressing GFP fluorescent protein) with a siRNA gene loop in 293T cells can be used to screen for effective siRNA gene loops. Figure 4 A); The results showed that all four siRNA gene loops could effectively inhibit the fluorescence intensity of GFP expression in 293T cells, among which the siR4 gene loop had the strongest inhibitory effect. Figure 4 B), Western blot results also show that the siR4 gene loop has a significantly better inhibitory effect on GDF8 expression than other siRNA gene loops. Figure 4 C).

[0125] 2. Gene loop screening:

[0126] 293T tool cells were transiently transfected with a GDF8 overexpression plasmid, followed by transfection with four designed siRNA gene loops (with different mature siRNA sequences). The inhibitory effects of different gene loops on transiently overexpressed GDF8 mRNA (qRT-PCR) and protein expression (Western blot) were detected. The four gene loops were then transfected using the muscle cell line C2C12. Figure 5 This study further verified the inhibitory effect of the gene loop on the expression of endogenous GDF8 mRNA and protein in muscle cells.

[0127] Further validation in the muscle cell line C2C12 is as follows: Figure 5 As shown in Figure A, when different siRNA gene loops were directly transfected into myotube cells differentiated for 3 days, it was found that the siR4 gene loop had a significantly better inhibitory effect on endogenous GDF8 in C2C12 myotube cells than other siRNA gene loops. Figure 5 B). Furthermore, pre-differentiation transfection with the siR4 gene significantly increased the number of myotubes formed. Figure 5 C). These results demonstrate that the siR4 gene loop can effectively inhibit GDF8 expression in vitro, thereby effectively promoting myogenesis.

[0128] Subsequent identification and functional verification experiments all used the siR4 gene loop, which had the best performance.

[0129] 3. Exosome identification:

[0130] Twelve hours after injecting mice with the gene loop at a dose of 5 mg / kg, exosomes were extracted from mouse serum. Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) revealed no significant differences in the content and particle size distribution of exosomes among the three groups. Electron microscopy showed that the exosomes had intact morphological structures with no significant differences. Finally, Western blot analysis of exosome marker proteins showed no significant differences in the content of these marker proteins among the three groups. Figure 6 This demonstrates that injecting gene loops does not affect the secretion of exosomes.

[0131] Example 3

[0132] Functional validation of exosomal siRNAs assembled in vivo:

[0133] Mice were injected with the gene loop at a dose of 5 mg / kg, and their livers were extracted at 6 and 12 hours, respectively. Figure 7 A) and serum ( Figure 7B) Exosomes were co-cultured with C2C12 myotube cells, and the expression level of GDF-8 in the cells was detected by Western blot after 24 hours.

[0134] from Figure 7 It can be seen that exosomes derived from mouse liver and serum after injection of the gene loop can inhibit the expression of GDF-8 in vitro.

[0135] Tracing of self-assembled exosomes in vivo:

[0136] Mice were injected with the gene loop at a dose of 5 mg / kg, and their livers were extracted at 6 and 12 hours, respectively. Figure 8 A) and serum ( Figure 8 B) Exosomes were labeled in vitro with PKH26 lipophilic dye and then injected into recipient mice via tail vein injection. The skeletal muscle of the mice was stained and observed 24 hours later.

[0137] from Figure 8 and Figure 9 It can be seen that the liver after adding the targeted peptide MSP ( Figure 9 A) and serum ( Figure 9 B) Exosomes can be effectively delivered to skeletal muscle (TA).

[0138] Functional validation of in vivo self-assembled exosomal siRNAs in wild-type mice:

[0139] Mice were injected with the gene loop at a dose of 5 mg / kg, every other day, for two weeks. Figure 10 A). During the treatment, the patient's weight was monitored. A grip strength test was performed one day after the last injection, and the tibialis anterior (TA) muscle was weighed. The results indicated that the CMV-MSP-siRNA injection... GDF-8 A group of mice body weight ( Figure 10 B), TA weight ( Figure 10 C) and grip ( Figure 10 D) all showed a significant increase, and photographs of their muscles also clearly showed a significant increase in the circumference of their hind leg calf muscles. Figure 10 E). Immunohistochemistry of mouse TA ( Figure 11 A) and Western blot experiments ( Figure 11 B) also indicates that CMV-MSP-siRNA GDF-8 The level of GDF-8 in the TA tissue of a group of mice was significantly reduced. RT-qPCR detection of gene expression in mouse TA tissue revealed significantly reduced expression levels of GDF-8 and its downstream genes. Figure 11 C).

[0140] from Figure 10 and Figure 11It can be seen that CMV-MSP-siRNA GDF-8 It showed significant effects in short-term treatment of WT mice.

[0141] Functional validation of in vivo self-assembled exosomal siRNAs in LLC cancer mice:

[0142] With 1×10 5 LLC tumor cells were implanted into the axilla of mice, and gene loop injections were administered three days later, followed by injections every other day for one month. A grip strength test was performed one day after the last injection, and the tibialis anterior (TA) muscle was weighed. The results showed that the CMV-MSP-siRNA injection... GDF-8 In one group of mice, the body weight, TA weight, and grip strength after tumor removal were significantly increased. Figure 12 A), and photographs of its muscles also clearly show a significant increase in the circumference of its calf muscles. Figure 12 B). Western blot experiments on mouse TA tissue also showed that CMV-MSP-siRNA GDF-8 The level of GDF-8 in the TA of a group of mice was significantly reduced. Figure 12 C).

[0143] from Figure 12 It can be seen that CMV-MSP-siRNA GDF-8 It showed significant therapeutic effects in LLC-induced muscle atrophy.
