Substitutions on the sugar ring can thus alter the alignment and wrinkling of these sugars. For example, 2'-O-methyl (2'-O-Me) modifications can increase the binding affinity and nuclease stability of oligonucleotides, although as shown in the examples, the effect of any modification at a given position in an oligonucleotide needs to be determined empirically.

[0083]
[0084] B. Phosphorothioate Modification
[0085] A phosphorothioate (PS) linkage or bond refers to a sulfur-substituted phosphodiester linkage, such as a bond that replaces one of the non-bridging phosphate oxygens in the bond between nucleotide bases. When phosphorothioate is used to produce an oligonucleotide, the modified oligonucleotide may also be referred to as an S-oligonucleotide.
[0086] "*" is used to depict PS modification. In the present invention, the term A*, C*, U* or G* is used to indicate the nucleotide that is linked to the next (eg, 3') nucleotide with a PS bond.
[0087] In the present invention, the term "mA*", "mC*", "mU*" or "mG*" is used to indicate a nucleotide that has been substituted with 2'-O-Me and is linked to the next (e.g., 3') nucleotide having a PS bond. Similarly, the term "fA*", "fC*", "fU*" or "fG*" is used to indicate a nucleotide that has been substituted with 2'-F and is linked to the next (e.g., 3') nucleotide having a PS bond. The embodiments described herein encompass equivalents of PS linkages or bonds.
[0088] The following shows the substitution of an S- to a non-bridging phosphate oxygen, resulting in a PS bond in place of the phosphodiester bond:

[0144] The encapsulation efficiency of the lipid nanoparticle composition (prepared according to the preparation of Fluc mRNA-lipid particles in Example 10 (1)) was determined using the Quant-iT Ribogreen RNA Quantification Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, UK) according to the kit's instructions.
[0145] 10 μL of the nanolipid particle solution was diluted 100-fold with PBS and added to a microwell. The particle size and polydispersity index (PDI) were measured using a Malvern Zetasizer nano instrument (25°C). Each sample was measured three times, and the average of the three results was used. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0148] As shown in Table 1, the nanolipid particles prepared using the cationic lipids of the present invention have a polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.01 to 0.15 and a particle size range of 65 to 90 nm. This indicates uniform size and excellent dispersion, making them suitable for mRNA delivery. Furthermore, the nanolipid particles exhibit a high encapsulation efficiency. Encapsulation efficiency, a key quality attribute of liposomes, reflects the degree of drug encapsulation. The high encapsulation efficiency of the nanolipid particles of the present invention facilitates efficient loading of active substances (such as siRNA and mRNA), thereby improving drug loading capacity.

[0164] (2) Editing efficiency detection
[0165] The editing efficiency was tested one week after intravenous administration to the mice's tails. The mice were killed and their liver tissues were taken out. The genome was extracted after lysis and the editing efficiency was analyzed by second-generation sequencing.
[0166] A two-step nested PCR amplification and sequencing was performed, and sequencing adapters and indexes were added. PCR products were verified by gel electrophoresis to confirm the correct size of the amplified product, and the obtained PCR products were sent to BGI for sequencing. The deep sequencing results were processed using a custom Python-based tool for site-specific analysis and editing efficiency calculation. The calculation results are shown in the table. Figure 1 .
[0167] As shown in Table 1, Table 2, Table 3 and Figure 1 As shown, the cationic lipid nanoparticles used in the present invention have a good particle size distribution, high encapsulation efficiency, and excellent mRNA delivery performance. They can achieve efficient and saturated mRNA expression in mice, significantly better than the control lipid nanoparticles. The lipid storage stability and other aspects are superior to the positive control ALC-0315, meeting the requirements of in vivo delivery.
