Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of gene expression regulation, and in particular to a unique oligonucleotide delivery agent for effectively delivering oligonucleotides. Background Art
[0002] Oligonucleotides are an emerging class of therapeutic agents currently under active development for the treatment of a variety of diseases through a variety of different mechanisms of action (MOA). The main categories of oligonucleotide therapeutics include single-stranded antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) and duplex (double-stranded) RNA (dsRNA), such as siRNA and saRNA.
[0003] There are two main types of ASOs. One type is called a "gapmer" ASO, which degrades target mRNA through the RNase H mechanism, thereby inhibiting gene expression. Gapmer ASOs have a central DNA region required to support RNase H activity and two ribonucleotide wings to increase the binding affinity of the ASO to the target sequence. Another type of ASO is a steric hinderer, which is usually composed of a uniform composition of ribonucleotides with a phosphorothioate (PS) backbone and binds to pre-mRNA in the cell nucleus, altering mRNA processing (e.g., mRNA splicing, translation, and nuclear export) by preventing certain proteins from binding to mRNA (e.g., splicing factors). This type of ASO has been successful in treating diseases that can be improved by correcting abnormal splicing errors and has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), including exon-containing ASO drugs for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). and exon 4 skipping ASO drugs for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).
[0004] ASO is a self-deliverable molecule without the need for additional delivery facilitators, and has limited bioavailability in several types of organs and tissues. However, they usually require high systemic or tissue concentrations to achieve therapeutic effectiveness, and such high concentrations are usually associated with toxicity, resulting in a smaller therapeutic window. So far, the approved PS-ASO drugs are mainly administered locally, including the eyes and CNS (central nervous system), so high local concentrations can be achieved without worrying about systemic toxicity [Vitravene Research Group, Safety of intravitreous fomivirsen for treatment of cytomegalovirus retinitis in patients with AIDS (safety of intravitreous injection of fomivirsen for the treatment of cytomegalovirus retinitis in AIDS patients). Am J Ophthalmol (2002); US20180273943A1; and Stein, CA and D. Castanotto. FDA-Approved Oligonucleotide Therapies in 2017. Mol Thera (2017)]. Systemic ASO drugs are mainly morpholino-based oligomers (PMO) administered by IV for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Due to the neutral morpholino ring in its molecular structure, PMO generally has a wider safety margin than PS-ASO, and can be given to patients at very high doses. Nevertheless, therapeutic efficacy is still limited [P Duda, GA Laforet et al., Development of Phosphorodiamidate Morpholino Oligomers (PMOs) for the Treatment of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) (development of phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers (PMO) for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD)) (S42.008), Neurology (2017)]. Improved delivery mechanisms based on oligonucleotides have long been needed to address these challenges.

In some embodiments, the cell is a host cell. In some embodiments, the cell is in vitro. In some embodiments, the cell is present in a mammal.
[0050] In various embodiments, the oligonucleotide delivery agent comprises a single stranded oligonucleotide of 15 to 35 nucleotides in length, e.g., a single stranded oligonucleotide of 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, or 35 nucleotides in length.
[0051] In various embodiments, the oligonucleotide delivery agent comprises a lipid portion, which is a C12, C13, C14, C15, C16, C17, C18, C19 or C20 straight chain saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon group, for example, a straight chain alkyl or straight chain alkenyl. The straight chain alkenyl may contain one to four ethylenically unsaturated groups, for example, one or two ethylenically unsaturated groups. In an exemplary embodiment, the lipid portion comprises 2-dodecenyl, 3-dodecenyl, 4-dodecenyl, 5-dodecenyl, 6-dodecenyl, 7-dodecenyl, 8-dodecenyl, 9-dodecenyl, 10-dodecenyl, 2-hexadecenyl, 3-hexadecenyl, 4-hexadecenyl, 5-hexadecenyl, 6-hexadecenyl, 7-hexadecenyl, 8-hexadecenyl, 9-hexadecenyl, 10-hexadecenyl, 11-hexadecenyl, 12- octadecenyl, 2-octadecenyl, 3-octadecenyl, 4-octadecenyl, 5-octadecenyl, 6-octadecenyl, 7-octadecenyl, 8-octadecenyl, 9-octadecenyl, 10-octadecenyl, 11-octadecenyl, 12-octadecenyl, 4,7-hexadecadienyl, 5,8-hexadecadienyl, 6,9-hexadecadienyl, 7,10-hexadecadienyl, 5,8-octadecadienyl, 6,9-octadecadienyl or 7,10-octadecadienyl.
[0052] In certain embodiments, the unsaturated lipid moiety comprises at least one cis-unsaturated double bond in the alkenyl group. In certain embodiments, the unsaturated lipid moiety comprises at least one trans-unsaturated double bond in the alkenyl group.
[0053] In various embodiments, the oligonucleotide delivery agent comprises one or more lipid moieties coupled directly or indirectly to the oligonucleotide. As used herein, the term "lipid moiety coupled indirectly to the oligonucleotide" refers to embodiments in which the lipid and the oligonucleotide are both coupled to the same DEC moiety, wherein the connection between the DEC moiety and the oligonucleotide can be a covalent bond or a linking moiety, such as those listed below.
[0054] On the other hand, the term "lipid moiety directly coupled to the oligonucleotide" refers to embodiments in which the oligonucleotide delivery agent does not include a DEC moiety, and thus the lipid and oligonucleotide are linked to each other via a covalent bond or a linking moiety such as those listed below.
[0055] In some embodiments, the oligonucleotide delivery agent has a structure represented by formula A, wherein the lipid portion is coupled to the oligonucleotide via a DEC portion, wherein M refers to the number of lipid portions, which is an integer of 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, and N refers to the number of DEC compounds coupled to the oligonucleotide, which is an integer of 1, 2, or 3. In an exemplary embodiment, the delivery enhancing compound portion is a divalent to hexavalent portion comprising at least one nitrogen-containing heterocycle, and the lipid portion and the oligonucleotide are each coupled to the delivery enhancing compound portion. In another embodiment, the delivery enhancing compound portion is a divalent, trivalent, tetravalent, pentavalent, or hexavalent portion. Preferably, the valence of the delivery enhancing compound portion is equal to M+1. More preferably, the delivery enhancing compound portion is a divalent, trivalent, or tetravalent portion.
[0056] As used herein, the terms "delivery enhancing compound" and "DEC" are used interchangeably and refer to a compound from which a delivery enhancing compound moiety can be derived.
[0057] In an exemplary embodiment, the nitrogen-containing heterocycle included in DEC may have a core structure shown in any one of the following formulae, wherein all chemical bonds, atoms, and substituents connected to the ring atoms of the core structure are omitted for simplicity:
[0058]
[0059] The core structure shown above comprises different ring atoms, and the condensed ring core structure can be electrically neutral or locally charged in the form of, for example, sulfonium or quaternary ammonium. It can be seen that, due to the delocalized π electron conjugation effect, one or more unsaturated double bonds in the condensed ring core structure may move, and all substituents, including any substituents that exist / do not exist, can change according to the category and valence of each ring atom connected to the substituent. For example, other substituents can be connected to sulfonium or quaternary ammonium ions that exist as the ring atoms of the condensed ring core structure. All these changes are within the conception of the present disclosure.
[0060] In one embodiment, the linkage of the at least one lipid moiety to the DEC moiety (ie, the combination of the lipid moiety and the delivery enhancing compound moiety, LDEC) may form a structure represented by Formula A'
[0061]
[0062] The lipid portion comprises at least one C6-C 22 Straight chain alkyl or alkenyl, for example at least one C8-C 18 A straight chain alkyl or alkenyl group, or at least one (e.g., one, two, or three) C 10 -C 12 The straight chain alkyl or alkenyl, DEC moiety and M are as defined above.
[0063] Exemplary compounds from which the structure represented by Formula A' is derived are specifically defined below, and the definition of the DEC moiety can be clearly and unambiguously determined by subtracting the at least one lipid moiety from the structure represented by Formula A'.

[0410] Example 20: Synthesis and design of LDEC-coupled ASO
[0411] RD-10004 (ASO-10-27, SEQ ID NO: 1) is an ASO that targets the pre-mRNA of the SMN2 gene, modulating its splicing by including exon 7 into the mature mRNA and thus "converting" SMN2Δ7 (SMN2 lacking exon 7) in cells to SMN2FL (i.e., full-length SMN2 containing exon 7) mRNA, thereby increasing the level of SMN protein encoded by SMN2FL mRNA. It is synthesized by medicinal chemistry (i.e., 2'MOE and PS modification) and is not lipid-coupled.
[0412] When the exemplary LDEC conjugates are synthesized by covalently linking LDEC to the 5' end, 3' end, or 3' and 5' ends of RD-10004, respectively, the sequence and chemical modifications of RD-10004 remain unchanged. Table 1 below shows the oligonucleotide sequences and conjugates.

[0415] Example 21: In vivo activity of LDEC-ASO in exon 7 inclusion and in type III SMA mice by SC administration Induction of SMN2FL mRNA in murine skeletal muscle
[0416] To compare the activity of LDEC-ASO (i.e., RD-14644) and unconjugated RD-10004 in regulating SMN2 splicing in skeletal muscle tissue, female mice with type III SMA were treated with 10 mg / kg, 30 mg / kg, or 100 mg / kg doses of RD-14644 or RD-10004 by SC injection at PND 40-50. Treatment with saline alone was used as a vehicle control to establish baseline expression levels of SMN2FL and SMN2Δ7 mRNA. Mice were sacrificed on day 14 after treatment, and biceps ( Figure 1A )、Semitendinosus( Figure 1B )、Platinum( Figure 1C ) and gluteal muscles ( Figure 1D ) muscle tissues. At all doses, RD-14644 measured SMN2FL mRNA levels higher than SMN2Δ7 mRNA levels in each muscle tissue compared to RD-10004 ( Figure 1A Table 2 summarizes the mean fold changes in SMN2FL and SMN2Δ7 transcript levels following SC treatment relative to saline controls. Overall, LDEC-conjugated ASOs (e.g., RD-14644) have improved efficacy on exon 7 inclusion and SMN2FL transcript induction in muscle tissue compared to unconjugated ASOs (i.e., RD-10004).

[0420] Example 22: SC administration of LDEC-ASOs to reduce the expression of LDECs in peripheral tissues (i.e., heart and liver) of type III SMA mice SMN2Δ7 is converted into SMN2FL transcripts
[0421] To compare the activity of LDEC-ASOs (i.e., RD-14644, RD-14645, and RD-14646) and unconjugated RD-10004 in regulating SMN2 splicing in the liver, SMN2FL and SMN2Δ7 expression in tissues of female mice with type III SMA was quantified by RT-qPCR 14 days after administration via SC injection. Figure 2AAs shown, each LDEC-ASO (i.e., RD-14644, RD-14645, and RD-14646) had a dose-dependent response in increasing SMN2FL production compared to RD-10004, and for RD-10004, statistical differences in splicing activity were only measured at the highest dose (i.e., 100 mg / kg).
[0422] In the heart, SMN2FL mRNA levels were also measured to be higher than SMN2Δ7 mRNA levels with LDEC-ASO (ie, RD-14644) treatment compared to RD-10004 ( Figure 2B In fact, only the LDEC conjugate (ie, RD-14644) demonstrated dose-dependent splicing activity, while RD-10004 had no or little activity at the doses tested (ie, 10 mg / kg, 30 mg / kg, and 100 mg / kg).
[0423] Table 3 summarizes the results of SMN2FL and SMN2Δ7 expression in liver and heart following treatment with the indicated LDEC-ASOs relative to saline controls. Similar to the results in muscle tissue, the data suggest that LDEC conjugation also enhances the delivery and subsequent splicing activity of RD-10004 in peripheral tissues (i.e., heart and liver).

[0427] Example 23: SMN2 expression in peripheral tissues and skeletal muscle of type III SMA mice was reduced by SC administration of LDEC-ASO. Δ7 is converted into SMN2FL transcripts
[0428] To further compare the activity of LDEC-ASO (ie, RD-14644) and unconjugated RD-10004 in regulating SMN2 splicing in peripheral tissues and skeletal muscle, 30 mg / kg of LDEC-ASO (ie, RD-14644) or unconjugated control (ie, RD-10004) was administered to female mice with type III SMA by SC injection at PND 40-50. Treatment with aCSF alone was used as a vehicle control to establish baseline expression levels of SMN2FL and SMN2Δ7 mRNA. SMN2FL and SMN2Δ7 expression in tissues of female mice with type III SMA was quantified by RT-qPCRC at 14 days after SC injection. The average expression levels of SMN2FL or SMN2Δ7 in peripheral tissues (i.e., heart, liver, adipose tissue, diaphragm, thoracic aorta with vein) and skeletal muscles (i.e., biceps, semitendinosus, platysma, and gluteal muscles) of treated animals are shown in Figure 3A-3B , which showed that LDEC conjugation also enhanced the delivery and subsequent splicing activity of RD-10004 in peripheral tissues and skeletal muscle.
[0429] Example 24: IV administration of LDEC-ASO converts SMN2Δ7 in peripheral tissues of type III SMA mice SMN2FL transcript
[0430] To compare the activity of LDEC-ASOs (i.e., RD-14644 and RD-14645) and unconjugated RD-10004 in regulating SMN2 splicing, SMN2FL and SMN2Δ7 expression was quantified by RT-qPCR using tissues from type III SMA female mice at day 14 after femoral vein (IV) injection. Treatment with saline alone was used as a vehicle control to establish baseline expression levels of SMN2FL and SMN2Δ7 mRNA. Figures 4A-4F As shown, each LDEC-ASO (i.e., RD-14644 and RD-14645) increased SMN2FL production compared to RD-10004 in peripheral tissues (i.e., liver, adipose tissue, thoracic aorta, heart, diaphragm, and lung). Table 4 shows the results of SMN2FL and SMN2Δ7 expression after treatment with the indicated LDEC-ASOs relative to saline controls.

Mock treatment was transfection in the absence of oligonucleotides. dsCon2 served as a nonspecific duplex control. The mRNA levels of SMN2FL and SMN2Δ7 were determined by RT-qPCR.

RD-10004 was transfected and used as a non-conjugated control. Fig. 7A As shown, at 1 nM, all LDEC-ASOs exhibited splicing activity similar to or superior to that of the unconjugated RD-10004. Figure 7B As shown, when the concentration increased to 10 nM, all LDEC-ASOs presented similar splicing activities compared to the unconjugated RD-10004, suggesting that the splicing activity of the ASOs may reach a plateau at 10 nM.

[0504] Materials and methods
[0505] General methods for synthesizing oligonucleotides
[0506] Single-strand synthesis method
[0507] Single-stranded oligonucleotides were synthesized by solid phase synthesis on a K&A DNA synthesizer (K&A Laborgeraete, Schaffheim, Germany).
[0508] The starting material is a general solid support or a special solid support, which is commercially available or synthesized as disclosed in the previous context. Generally, phosphoramidite monomers (0.1M in acetonitrile or dichloromethane) including various joints and conjugates are sequentially added to the solid support in the DNA synthesizer to produce the required full-length oligonucleotide. Each amidite addition cycle consists of four chemical reactions, including detritylation, coupling, oxidation / thiolation and end-capping (capping). In the first step, detritylation is carried out using a DCM solution of 3% dichloroacetic acid (TCA) for 45 seconds. In the second step, all amidates were subjected to phosphoramidite coupling at 12 equivalents for 6 minutes; in the third step, oxidation was performed using 0.02M iodine in THF:pyridine:water (70:20:10, v / v / v) for 1 minute; if phosphorothioate modification was required, oxidation was replaced by thiolation, which was performed using 0.1M hydroxanthin in pyridine:ACN (50:50, v / v) for 3 minutes. In the fourth step, end-capping was performed using THF:acetic anhydride:pyridine (80:10:10, v / v / v) (CAPA) and N-methylimidazole:THF (10:90, v / v), (CAPB) for 20 seconds. The number of cycles of the four chemical reactions will depend on the length of the individual oligonucleotides.
[0509] Deprotection I (Nucleobase Deprotection): After the synthesis is completed, the solid support is transferred to a screw cap microcentrifuge tube. For a 1 μmol synthesis scale, 1 ml of a mixture of methylamine and ammonium hydroxide is added. The tube containing the solid support is then heated in an oven at 60°C to 65°C for 15 minutes and then cooled to room temperature. The cleavage solution is collected and evaporated to dryness in a speedvac to provide a crude single-stranded oligonucleotide.
[0510] Deprotection II (removal of 2'-TBDMS group): The crude RNA oligonucleotide still carrying the 2'-TBDMS group is dissolved in 0.1 ml of DMSO. After adding 1 ml of triethylamine trihydrofluoride, cover the test tube, shake the mixture vigorously to ensure complete dissolution, and then heat it in an oven at 65°C for 15 minutes. Remove the test tube from the oven and cool to room temperature. Cool the solution containing the completely desilylated oligonucleotide on dry ice. Carefully add 2 ml of ice-cold n-butanol (-20°C) in 0.5 ml portions to precipitate the oligonucleotide. Filter the precipitate and wash with 1 ml of ice-cold n-butanol, then dissolve the precipitate in 0.01 M tris (hydroxymethyl) aminomethanol hydrochloric acid buffer.
[0511] (2) Single-strand purification
[0512] Purification of oligonucleotides was performed on an AKTA explorer 10 equipped with a Source 15Q 4.6 / 100PE column using the following conditions: Buffer A: (10 mM Tris-HCl, 1 mM EDTA, pH 7.5), B: (10 mM Tris-HCl, 1 mM EDTA, 2 M NaCl, pH 7.5), gradient: 10% B to 60% B in 25 min, flow rate: 1 ml / min. Pure oligonucleotides were collected and desalted by a HiPrep 26 / 10 desalting column and then lyophilized to powder.
[0513] Cell culture and treatment
[0514] SMA patient-derived fibroblasts were obtained from the Coriell Research Institute (Camden, NJ, USA), including GM03813 (SMA type II, with 3 copies of the SMN2 gene) and GM09677 (SMAI type, with 3 copies of the SMN2 gene), which were cultured in modified MEM medium (Gibco, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Carlsbad, CA) supplemented with 15% calf serum (Sigma-Aldrich), 1% NEAA (Gibco), and 1% penicillin / streptomycin (Gibco) at 5% CO2 and 37°C. SK-N-AS (Procell, Wuhan, China, catalog number CL-0621) cells and RD cells (TCHu 45, Center for Excellence in Molecular Cell Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences) were cultured in modified DMEM medium (Gibco, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Carlsbad, CA) supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (Sigma-Aldrich) and 1% penicillin / streptomycin (Gibco) at 37°C, 5% CO2. Transfections were performed using Lipofectamine RNAiMax (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) in growth medium without antibiotics according to the manufacturer's instructions.
[0515] Animal procedures
[0516] All animal procedures were performed by certified laboratory personnel using protocols that complied with local and state regulations and were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee. SMA-like mice were derived by homozygous knockout of Smn exon 7 in mice with a human SMN2 transgene (Smn - / - SMN2 + / - ), as previously described by Hsieh-Li et al. (Hsieh-Li, HM et al., 2000), the SMA-like mice were obtained from Jackson Laboratories. Generation of type III SMA female mice [Smnl - / - , SMN2 + / + (For genotyping, see WO2022022617A1 patent)] and administered with test compounds. Sprague-Dawley (SD) female rats (A102, SPF, China) were purchased from SPF (Suzhou) Biotechnology Co., Ltd. The animals were randomly assigned to the study groups.
[0517] Femoral vein (IV)
[0518] Mice were anesthetized using 5% isoflurane in a custom-made chamber. Anesthetized mice were placed on a heating pad at 37°C and maintained anesthesia by inhalation of 2% isoflurane through a mask. The hind limbs of the mice were fixed with tape in a slight abduction, the inguinal area of the calf was shaved, disinfected with 70% ethanol, and exposed for surgery. The femoral vein was exposed through a 3 to 4 mm skin incision parallel to the inguinal ligament and then separated from the surrounding tissue. 200 μL of the test compound solution was slowly infused intravenously in the femoral vein over 2 minutes. At the end of the infusion, the femoral vein injection site was pressed firmly with a cotton swab to prevent reflux of the administration solution and / or blood. The wound was rinsed with 1 mL of 0.9% saline and the incision was closed with 6-0 sutures.
[0519] Intrathecal (IT) injection
[0520] Anesthesia was maintained for 10 min using 3.0% isoflurane in an induction chamber. The hair around the injection site at the base of the tail was shaved and cleaned with 75% ethanol. The space between the L5-L6 spinous processes was identified, and a 30-gauge needle connected to a microliter syringe containing the appropriate drug preparation was slowly inserted into the intradural space until a tail flick was observed. The needle position was then fixed and a total volume of 30 μL of solution was injected over 1 min.
[0521] Hot water tail flick test
[0522] The tail-flick test measures the pain response (tail-flick latency) to 55°C hot water. Pick up the rat and expose its tail. Place the rat above a water bath and immerse 1 cm of the tail remotely in the water bath. Record the time required for the rat to respond (e.g., tail flick). If there is no response within 10 seconds, the test is terminated. For each animal, the average response time of 3 independent measurements is calculated.
[0523] Tissue harvesting
[0524] Treated animals were euthanized by carbon dioxide inhalation and placed on a support board. The hair on the forelimbs, hind limbs, neck and buttocks of the animals was shaved. The skin of the animals was disinfected with 75% ethanol. Skeletal muscles (i.e., biceps, semitendinosus, platysma and gluteal muscles) were isolated according to the anatomical diagram and immediately immersed in RNAlater TM (Rol18-500mL, Beyotime (Biyuntian Company, China). The indicated brain, spinal cord and peripheral tissues were isolated and stored in RNAlater TM middle.
[0525] RNA Isolation
[0526] Prior to sample processing, animal tissues were immersed and stored in RNAlater TMAnimal tissues were cut into 2-3 slices less than 0.5 square in thickness, and the resulting fragments were transferred to a 2 mL microtube containing 1 mL RNAVzol (Bisharp (White Shark), BS259A, China) and 6-8 ceramic beads (ALLSHENG (Ao Sheng) ceramic beads, China). The tissue was homogenized with a Bioprep-24 homogenizer (ALLSHENG Bioprep-24, China). 200 μL of chloroform was pipetted into the homogenate, then vortexed and incubated for 5 minutes, and then centrifuged at 12000g for 15 minutes. 200 μL of the top aqueous phase was pipetted into a new test tube. RNA was then isolated in an Auto-pure96 machine (ALLSHENG, Zhejiang, China) using the MagPure Total RNA Micro LQ kit (Magen, R6621, Guangdong, China) according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer. The RNA concentration was determined by an ELISA system (Infinite M2000Pro, Tecan).
[0527] Reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR)
[0528] The obtained RNA (~1 μg) was reverse transcribed into cDNA using the PrimeScript RT reagent kit (Takara, Shiga, Japan) containing gDNA Eraser. The obtained cDNA was amplified in a Roche LightCycler 480 multiwell plate 384 (Roche, reference number: 4729749001, USA) using SYBR Premix Ex Taq II (Takara, RR820A, Shiga, Japan) reagent and primers (which specifically amplify the target gene of interest). The experimental conditions are as follows: reverse transcription reaction (stage 1): 42°C for 5 minutes, 95°C for 10 seconds; PCR reaction (stage 2): 95°C for 5 seconds, 60°C for 30 seconds, 72°C for 10 seconds; 40 amplification cycles; and, melting curve (stage 3).
