Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of biological medicine, and particularly relates to an antisense nucleic acid targeting KRAS gene and a pharmaceutical preparation and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Gene therapy, i.e. treatment of diseases through nucleic acid drugs, has attracted attention in recent years. Nucleic acid drugs mainly include double-stranded small interfering RNA (siRNA), antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), CRISPR / Cas9 single-stranded RNA and mRNA, aptamers, etc. Antisense nucleic acid is generally an oligodeoxynucleotide of 13-30 nt, which can degrade target mRNA molecules through RNase mechanism and the like. It can be synthesized by chemical synthesis, and has great development prospects.
[0003] About 25% of human tumors have RAS mutations, among which KRAS mutations are the main mutation type. However, due to the high GTP binding activity of the GTP binding pocket of the KRAS protein, it is difficult to develop specific inhibitors based on the pocket, and in addition, the surface of the KRAS protein lacks other binding pockets, so the KRAS protein is also called an "undruggable" target.
[0004] AZD4785 is an antisense nucleic acid developed by AstraZeneca targeting KRAS mRNA 3'-UTR, which adopts a Gapmer modification strategy combining a PS backbone with 3 2', 4'-bridged ethyl (cEt) at each end, and reduces the immunogenicity of nucleic acids through 5mC modification. Thanks to the high chemical stability of cEt gapmer and the lipophilicity of PS, AZD4785 can be administered in vivo and in vitro without using a delivery carrier. However, in clinical phase 1 (NCT03101839), multiple adverse reactions related to intravenous injection of antisense nucleic acids occurred. Due to safety and in vivo efficacy problems, the research and development of AZD4785 has been suspended.
[0005] The toxicity problem caused by high-dose naked nucleic acid administration has not been solved, and how to achieve in vivo tumor treatment of antisense nucleic acids is a technical problem to be solved in the art. SUMMARY

[0073] Test method:
[0074] Select 4-6 week old female BALB / c-nude mice, inoculate PANC-1 cells 3×10 6 / each in the armpit, and when the tumor volume (volume = length × width 2 × 0.5) grows to about 50mm 3 , randomly divide the tumor-bearing mice into groups (5 mice per group). After grouping, measure the tumor as day 0, and then perform the first administration (preparation containing M4) with a concentration of 2mpk, 100 μL per mouse, tail vein injection, and administer on days 1, 4, 7, 10, 14 and 18, a total of 6 times. Measure the tumor and weigh every two days, record the tumor volume and mouse weight. On day 22, after measuring the tumor and weighing, take blood and sacrifice the mice, dissect out the tumor, liver and kidney. After weighing and taking pictures, divide the tumor into two parts, one part is fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, and stained with KRAS antibody; the other part is added with Trizol and ground, extract RNA, and investigate KRAS G12D mRNA level by RT-qPCR experiment; wherein the M4 group is M4+GeneOpti buffer solution corresponding to the dose, without adding fat material.
[0075] Figure 3 Tumor growth curve in the blank group, M4, D / C, D / C / M4 / 0.7% PEG, D / C / M4 / 1%cRGD mice; Figure 4 Tumor site KRAS mRNA silencing in the blank group, M4, D / C, D / C / M4 / 0.7% PEG, D / C / M4 / 1%cRGD; G12D Figure 5 Tumor image in the blank group, M4, D / C, D / C / M4 / 0.7% PEG, D / C / M4 / 1%cRGD; Figure 6 Tumor weight statistics in the blank group, M4, D / C, D / C / M4 / 0.7% PEG, D / C / M4 / 1%cRGD; Figure 7 Immunohistochemical section in the blank group, M4, D / C, D / C / M4 / 0.7% PEG, D / C / M4 / 1%cRGD group.
[0076] FromFigures 3-7 It can be seen that compared with the blank group, D / C / M4 / 0.7%PEG and D / C / M4 / 1%cRGD can significantly inhibit tumor growth; there is no significant difference in tumor growth curve between D / C / M4 / 0.7%PEG and D / C / M4 / 1%cRGD groups; the tumor weight of D / C / M4 / 0.7%PEG and D / C / M4 / 1%cRGD groups is lighter, and the tumor inhibition rates of D / C / M4 / 0.7%PEG and D / C / M4 / 1%cRGD groups are 53% and 74%, respectively; KRAS G12S mRNA levels in tumor tissues after tail vein injection compared with the blank group, and the inhibition rates are 34% and 39%, respectively; the immunohistochemical results show that each administration group can reduce the expression of KRAS protein, indicating that D / C / DSPE-PEG or D / C / DSPE-PEG-cRGD loaded with M4 is a kind of in vivo anti-tumor preparation with great potential. G12S mRNA levels in tumor tissues after tail vein injection compared with the blank group, and the inhibition rates are 34% and 39%, respectively; the immunohistochemical results show that each administration group can reduce the expression of KRAS protein, indicating that D / C / DSPE-PEG or D / C / DSPE-PEG-cRGD loaded with M4 is a kind of in vivo anti-tumor preparation with great potential.
[0077] It can be seen from the above examples that the antisense nucleic acid M4 provided by the present application has the best anti-tumor effect, and the remaining sequences also have great anti-tumor potential, M4 is effective in vivo, and can effectively achieve in vivo tumor treatment.
[0078] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and it should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, without departing from the principles of the present application, a number of improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
