Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of biochemistry, in particular to a nucleic acid aptamer specifically binding to CD117 and uses thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] CD117 (c-KIT) is a type III receptor tyrosine kinase, which forms a dimer when binding to stem cell growth factor, thereby activating the downstream KIT signaling pathway and regulating cell survival, proliferation, differentiation and migration. Initially, CD117 was widely studied as a proto-oncogene in the field of oncology. Among them, tyrosine kinase inhibitors represented by imatinib mesylate tablets (Gleevec) can effectively inhibit the kinase activity of CD117. On the other hand, as an important leukocyte differentiation antigen molecule, CD117 is specifically expressed on the surface of hematopoietic stem cells and acute myeloid leukemia tumor cells, and is an important marker for hematopoietic stem cell and AML immunophenotyping. Therefore, the monoclonal antibody, antibody drug conjugate and CAR-T cell therapy targeting CD117 can selectively eliminate hematopoietic stem cells and tumor cells in the bone marrow of patients, creating a safer and more effective implantation space for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. However, inhibitors against CD117 have drug resistance, and monoclonal antibodies have high production cost, long time-consuming, poor stability, and difficulty in achieving precise chemical modification, which to some extent hinders the clinical application of CD117. Therefore, the development of new recognition ligands targeting CD117 is of great significance for the study of clinically relevant diseases.

[0003] Nucleic acid aptamer is a kind of ssDNA or RNA composed of 20-100 bases, which can specifically recognize and bind to target molecules. Because the binding of nucleic acid aptamer to the target is similar to the immunological affinity binding between antigen and antibody, it is called "chemist's antibody" figuratively. But unlike antibody production, nucleic acid aptamer is obtained by exponential enrichment ligand system evolution technology in vitro, which not only has comparable affinity and specificity to antibody, but also has the following unique advantages: (1) relatively extensive binding range of target, including small molecules, proteins, microorganisms, viruses and cells, etc.; (2) successfully identified nucleic acid aptamer can be synthesized by chemical synthesis, with high production efficiency, relatively low cost, and small quality difference between batches; (3) relatively small molecular weight and low immunogenicity; (4) precise chemical modification and design can be achieved, with strong thermal stability and easy long-term storage. Therefore, developing a nucleic acid aptamer specifically binding to CD117 as a new recognition ligand and widely applying it to many fields such as molecular imaging, biosensing, cell separation, etc. shows great application prospect.

[0128] Experimental Example:

[0129] 1. Flow analysis of the enrichment process of the nucleic acid aptamer library

[0130] The enriched ssDNA library is subjected to flow analysis. The enriched ssDNA library includes the cell screening enriched ssDNA library prepared in each round of step S3, and the cell lysate screening enriched ssDNA library prepared in each round of step S4. The cell screening enriched ssDNA library prepared in each round of step S3 is sequentially referred to as the 1st-6th round of ssDNA library; the cell lysate screening enriched ssDNA library prepared in each round of step S4 is sequentially referred to as the 7th-12th round of ssDNA library.

[0131] Figure 1The selection pool binding level of the enriched ssDNA library of Example 1 is shown. As the ssDNA library is screened and enriched, the selection pool binding level of the enriched ssDNA library gradually increases, and the selection pool binding level of the 12th round of ssDNA library is the highest, which indicates that the 12th round of ssDNA library can be selected for high-throughput sequencing. By analyzing the homology and abundance difference of the enriched sequences in the screened library, a candidate aptamer can be selected.

[0132] 2. Flow analysis of the binding ability of AptCD117 to HEL cells and K562 cells

[0133] The cultured HEL cells were washed once with 5 mL DPBS, centrifuged at 300 g for 5 min at 25°C, the supernatant was discarded, and 1 mL Binding Buffer was added to resuspend the cells. The blank group, the control group and the experimental group were set up, and each of the blank group, the control group and the experimental group included 150 μL of HEL cells with a cell number of 5×10 5 The blank group, the control group and the experimental group were set up, and each of the blank group, the control group and the experimental group included 150 μL of HEL cells with a cell number of 5×10

[0134] According to the above method, the HEL cells were replaced by K562 cells, and the binding ability of AptCD117 to K562 cells was detected by flow cytometry.

[0135] Figure 2 The flow analysis of the binding level of AptCD117 to HEL cells is shown. There is no difference in the binding level between the blank group and the control group, and the binding level of the experimental group is higher than that of the blank group and the control group. Figure 3 The flow analysis of the binding level of AptCD117 to K562 cells is shown. There is no difference in the binding level between the blank group and the blank group, and the control group. This indicates that the AptCD117 screened in Example 1 of the present application has strong binding ability to HEL cells, and does not bind to K562 cells.

[0136] 3. siRNA gene interference experiment to identify the binding target of AptCD117

[0137] HEL cells were seeded in 24-well plates at a cell number of 6 × 10 5 / well, then add 1640 culture medium (without serum and double antibody) to a final volume of 1mL, and then place the 24-well plate in a 37℃ incubator for use. Set up a blank control group (NC), siRNA1 group (siRNA1), siRNA2 group (siRNA2), and siRNA3 group (siRNA3), each group includes 1mL HEL cells, 150μL 1640 culture medium (without serum and double antibody), 40μL transfection buffer (Transfection buffer), siRNA with a concentration of 20μmol / L and 1.8μL transfection reagent (GenMute TM Reagent, wherein the siRNA in the NC group is 5'-CCCAACACAACUUCCUUAUTT-3', whose nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID No. 5; the nucleotide sequence of siRNA1 is 5'-GCCCACAAUAGAUUGGUAUTT-3', whose nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID No. 6; the nucleotide sequence of siRNA2 is 5'-CUGGCAUGAUGUGCAUUAUTT-3', whose nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID No. 7; and the nucleotide sequence of siRNA3 is 5'-GACCAACAUUCAAGCAAAUTT-3', whose nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID No. 8. Cells were centrifuged at 800 g for 75 minutes at 37°C and incubated at 37°C for 5 hours. After the incubation period, the culture medium was discarded and 2 mL of fresh 1640 medium (containing 10% FBS and 1% double-antibody) was added. The cells were incubated in a 37°C incubator for another 48 hours. After the incubation period, the cells in each group were collected and resuspended in Binding Buffer. Afterwards, the cells in the NC, siRNA1, siRNA2, and siRNA3 groups were divided into two groups, 2.5 μL of phycoerythrin-modified anti-CD117 antibody was added to one group, and 50 pmol of 5-FAM-modified AptCD117 was added to the other group. They were placed in an ice box and incubated for 45 minutes. During this period, the cells were gently shaken and mixed once every 15 minutes. After incubation, 400 μL of Washing Buffer was added to wash once, and the cells were centrifuged at 300 g for 5 minutes at 25°C. The supernatant was discarded, and 400 μL of Washing Buffer was added to resuspend the cells and transferred to a flow cytometer. The expression of CD117 protein on the HEL cell membrane surface was analyzed by flow cytometry, and the binding ability of AptCD117 to HEL cells after siRNA interference was analyzed.

[0138] Figure 4 To analyze the expression of CD117 in HEL cells after siRNA interference, the expression of CD117 in siRNA1, siRNA2 and siRNA3 groups was lower than that in the NC group, which indicated that siRNA1, siRNA2 and siRNA3 groups could effectively knock down the expression of CD117 protein in HEL cells.

[0139] Figure 5 To analyze the binding of AptCD117 to HEL cells after siRNA interference, the binding level of AptCD117 in siRNA1, siRNA2 and siRNA3 groups was lower than that in the NC group, which indicated that the binding ability between AptCD117 and HEL cells was significantly weakened after the siRNA knockdown of CD117 protein in HEL cells, and was positively correlated with the down-regulation level of CD117. Therefore, AptCD117 specifically targets CD117 protein.

[0140] 4. Analysis of the binding affinity of nucleic acid aptamer AptCD117 to CD117

[0141] The cultured HEL cells were washed once with 5 mL DPBS, centrifuged at a speed of 300 g for 5 min at 25°C, the supernatant was discarded, and 1 mL Binding Buffer was added to resuspend the cells. The HEL cell samples were divided into 9 groups, and the volume and number of HEL cell samples in each group were 200 μL and 5 x 10 5 The 5-FAM modified AptCD117 with a concentration gradient of 0, 25, 50, 75, 100, 150, 250, 400 and 600 nmol / L was added to the 9 groups of HEL cell samples, respectively, each concentration gradient was repeated for 3 groups, and the cells were mixed and incubated on ice for 45 min, during which the cells were gently mixed once every 15 min. After incubation, the cells were washed once with 400 μL Washing Buffer, centrifuged at a speed of 300 g for 5 min at 25°C, the supernatant was discarded, and 400 μL Washing Buffer was added to resuspend the cells and transferred to a flow tube. The fluorescence intensity of the cells was detected by flow cytometry, and the Kd value was calculated. Kd value = dissociation rate of antibody and antigen / binding rate of antibody and antigen.

[0142] Figure 6 To analyze the binding affinity of AptCD117 to CD117, AptCD117 had strong binding affinity to CD117 protein, and the Kd value was 2.83 ± 1.44 nM.

After centrifugation at 200 g for 5 min at 25°C, the supernatant was discarded. Then 500 μL DPBS and 10 μL fetal bovine serum were added for washing once. Finally, 1 mL Binding Buffer was added to resuspend the cells, 5 μL of anti-CD45 antibody modified with biotin and 2.5 μL of anti-CD117 antibody modified with phycoerythrin were added, and the mixture was shaken and mixed, incubated in an ice bath for 30 min, and gently shaken and mixed once every 10 min during the incubation. Then 400 μL Washing Buffer was added for washing once, and centrifuged at 300 g for 5 min at 25°C. The supernatant was discarded, and 400 μL Binding Buffer was added to resuspend the cells. The control group was added with 50 pmol of 5-FAM modified initial ssDNA library, and the experimental group was added with 50 pmol of 5-FAM modified AptCD117. The mixture was shaken and mixed, incubated in an ice bath for 30 min, and gently shaken and mixed once every 15 min during the incubation. Then 400 μL Washing Buffer was added to the two groups of samples for washing once, and centrifuged at 300 g for 5 min at 25°C. The supernatant was discarded, and 600 μL Washing Buffer was added to resuspend the cells. Then 400 μL of cell sample was taken into a flow tube, and the recognition and binding ability of AptCD117 to AML tumor cells were detected by flow cytometry.

[0145] Figure 7 For flow cytometry analysis of AptCD117 binding to CD117+ tumor cells, the experimental group was added with 50 pmol of 5-FAM modified initial ssDNA library, and the control group was added with 50 pmol of 5-FAM modified AptCD117. The mixture was shaken and mixed, incubated in an ice bath for 30 min, and gently shaken and mixed once every 15 min during the incubation. Then 400 μL Washing Buffer was added to the two groups of samples for washing once, and centrifuged at 300 g for 5 min at 25°C. The supernatant was discarded, and 600 μL Washing Buffer was added to resuspend the cells. Then 400 μL of cell sample was taken into a flow tube, and the recognition and binding ability of AptCD117 to AML tumor cells were detected by flow cytometry. + The percentage of aptamer in tumor cells was higher than that in the control group, which indicated that AptCD117 could specifically recognize and bind CD117 + tumor cells.

[0146] 6. Flow cytometry analysis of the binding site difference between AptCD117 and SCF.

[0147] The cultured HEL cells were washed once with 5 mL DPBS, centrifuged at 300 g for 5 min at 25 °C, the supernatant was discarded, and 1 mL Binding Buffer was added to resuspend the cells. The cell samples were set in two groups, one group was added with 50 pmol of 5-FAM fluorescent modified AptCD117 and 2 μg SCF; the other group was added with 2.5 μL of fluorescent modified anti-CD117 antibody and 2 μg SCF, and incubated in an ice bath for 30 min, during which the cells were gently shaken and mixed once every 10 min, washed once with 400 μL Washing Buffer, centrifuged at 300 g for 5 min at 25 °C, the supernatant was discarded, 400 μL Washing Buffer was added to resuspend the cells and transferred to a flow tube, and the binding site differences of AptCD117, anti-CD117 antibody and SCF were detected by flow cytometry.

[0148] Figure 8 For the binding site difference of AptCD117 and SCF, Figure 9 For the binding site difference of anti-CD117 antibody and SCF. By Figure 8 and Figure 9 It can be seen that SCF has a competitive effect on the binding of AptCD117 to CD117 protein, that is, both have a common binding site, while the binding site of SCF and anti-CD117 antibody is not consistent. Therefore, AptCD117 can act as a tyrosine kinase inhibitor to block the binding of SCF to CD117.

[0149] 7. DNA recovery efficiency of anti-CD117 antibody modified magnetic beads

[0150] The ssDNA library prepared in the 6th round of screening step S3 of the nucleic acid aptamer specifically binding to CD117 of Example 1 was determined for DNA content using ultraviolet spectrophotometry, and the initial DNA content (ng / μL) was recorded. HEL cell membrane proteins were extracted using a cell membrane protein and cytoplasm extraction kit, and the ssDNA library prepared in the 6th round of screening step S3 of the nucleic acid aptamer specifically binding to CD117 of Example 1 was added. After gentle shaking and mixing, the mixture was incubated in the dark for 30 min. Anti-CD117 antibody modified magnetic beads were added, and the mixture was gently shaken and mixed. The mixture was incubated in an ice bath for 30 min. Binding Buffer was added to resuspend the magnetic beads, and the mixture was washed once. The supernatant was removed by magnetic separation. The magnetic beads were resuspended in sterilized ultrapure water, denatured at 95°C for 10 min, cooled for 2 min, and the supernatant was collected by magnetic separation. The DNA content in the supernatant (ng / μL) was determined using ultraviolet spectrophotometry. The DNA recovery efficiency was calculated, and the DNA recovery efficiency (%) = the DNA content in the supernatant / the initial DNA content × 100%. The anti-CD117 antibody modified magnetic beads prepared in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were used to obtain the DNA recovery efficiencies of Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-3, respectively. The determination results are shown in Table 1.

[0151] Table 1 DNA recovery efficiency (%)

[0152]

[0153] As shown in Table 1, the DNA recovery efficiencies of Examples 2-4 were higher than those of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-2. This was because, in the cell lysate screening, 3-allyl-4-methoxybenzoic acid and 2-isopropenylaniline were used to prepare modified anti-CD117 antibody modified magnetic beads in Examples 2-4, while 3-allyl-4-methoxybenzoic acid was not used in Example 1, 3-allyl-4-methoxybenzoic acid was used in Comparative Example 1, and 2-isopropenylaniline was used in Comparative Example 2. This indicates that the use of 3-allyl-4-methoxybenzoic acid and 2-isopropenylaniline to prepare modified anti-CD117 antibody modified magnetic beads can improve the DNA recovery efficiency. The DNA recovery efficiencies of Examples 5-6 were higher than those of Examples 2-3 and Comparative Example 3. This was because, in the cell lysate screening, glutaric anhydride was further used to prepare modified anti-CD117 antibody modified magnetic beads on the basis of the use of 3-allyl-4-methoxybenzoic acid and 2-isopropenylaniline in Examples 5-6, while glutaric anhydride was used to prepare modified anti-CD117 antibody modified magnetic beads in Comparative Example 3. This indicates that glutaric anhydride can further improve the DNA recovery efficiency of modified anti-CD117 antibody modified magnetic beads.

[0155] HEL cell membrane protein was extracted using cell membrane protein and cytoplasm extraction kit, HEL cell membrane protein content was determined using biuret method, recorded as initial protein content (mg / mL), anti-CD117 antibody modified magnetic beads were added, gently shaken and mixed, incubated in ice bath for 30 min, added Binding Buffer, gently resuspended and washed once, magnetic separation discarded supernatant, added sterilized ultrapure water to resuspend magnetic beads, magnetic separation collected supernatant, biuret method was used to determine protein content (mg / mL) in supernatant; protein adsorption efficiency was calculated, protein adsorption efficiency (%) = supernatant protein content / initial protein content x 100%. Anti-CD117 antibody modified magnetic beads prepared using examples 1-6 and comparative examples 1-3 were used, corresponding to obtain protein adsorption efficiency of examples 1-6 and comparative examples 1-3, the determination results are shown in Table 2.

[0156] Table 2 Protein adsorption efficiency (%)

[0157]

[0158] As can be seen from Table 2, the protein adsorption efficiency of examples 2-4 is higher than that of examples 1 and comparative examples 1-2, because in the cell lysate screening, 3-allyl-4-methoxybenzoic acid and 2-isopropenylphenyl aniline are used in combination to prepare modified anti-CD117 antibody modified magnetic beads in examples 2-4, while 3-allyl-4-methoxybenzoic acid and 2-isopropenylphenyl aniline are not used in example 1, only 3-allyl-4-methoxybenzoic acid is used in comparative example 1, and only 2-isopropenylphenyl aniline is used in comparative example 2. This shows that the use of 3-allyl-4-methoxybenzoic acid and 2-isopropenylphenyl aniline in combination to prepare modified anti-CD117 antibody modified magnetic beads can improve the protein adsorption efficiency thereof. The protein adsorption efficiency of examples 5-6 is higher than that of examples 2-3 and comparative example 3, because in the cell lysate screening, glutaric anhydride is further used on the basis of the use of 3-allyl-4-methoxybenzoic acid and 2-isopropenylphenyl aniline in combination to prepare modified anti-CD117 antibody modified magnetic beads in examples 5-6, while only glutaric anhydride is used to prepare modified anti-CD117 antibody modified magnetic beads in comparative example 3. This shows that glutaric anhydride can further improve the protein adsorption efficiency of modified anti-CD117 antibody modified magnetic beads.
