Description

[0001] This application claims the priority of Chinese patent application CN2023114397970, filed on October 31, 2023. This application cites the full text of the above Chinese patent application. Technical Field

[0002] The present application belongs to the field of vaccines, and specifically relates to a RSV antigen, nucleic acid, expression element, pharmaceutical composition and application thereof. Background Art

[0003] Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) can cause respiratory tract infections in children, adolescents and the elderly. Especially for pediatric patients, severe infections and respiratory sequelae may occur. RSV belongs to the genus Pneumovirus of the family Pneumoviridae and has only one serotype. Its genome is 15.2kb long and encodes 10 proteins. After infection, it mainly causes lower respiratory tract infections such as bronchiolitis and pneumonia in infants under 6 months old, and upper respiratory tract infections such as rhinitis and colds in older children and adults. There are three types of membrane surface proteins: fusion glycoprotein (F), attachment glycoprotein (G) and small hydrophobic protein (SH) proteins.

[0004] The infection process of RSV mainly depends on the action of F protein. During the infection process, G protein attaches the virus particles to the cell surface by interacting with the host cell attachment factor. RSV F protein drives the fusion of the virus and host cell membrane by changing from prefusion conformation to postfusion conformation, thus starting the entire virus infection cycle. Neutralizing antibodies caused by natural RSV infection are mainly targeted at RSV F protein, so most of the current vaccine designs for RSV virus are designed for RSV F protein. Three other viral protein-based candidate vaccines using non-F viral antigens are under clinical development.

[0005] RSV is the most common viral pathogen causing acute lower respiratory tract infections (ALRTI) in children under 5 years old worldwide, and is the primary cause of hospitalization for viral respiratory tract infections in infants and young children. Data show that RSV infection accounts for 28% of all ALRTIs, and RSV hospitalized deaths account for 13%-22% of ALRTI-related deaths. (Lancet. 2017, 390: 946). The existing RSV vaccines are summarized in Table 1:

[0006] Table 1 Available vaccines

[0007]

[0008]

[0044] The present invention is further described below by way of examples, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the examples. The experimental methods in the following examples without specifying specific conditions are carried out according to conventional methods and conditions, or selected according to the product specifications.

[0045] Example 1 Experimental method

[0046] 1. In vitro transcription and mRNA transfection

[0047] 1. PCR to obtain linearized target fragment

[0048] According to the needs of PCR reaction, add 8.7 μL of ddHO into a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube. 2 O, 0.5 μL template DNA (pcDNA3.1(+), 3'UTR, 5'UTR, polyA were modified according to the expression routine of RSV virus, source: GenScript synthesis), 0.4 μL forward and 0.4 μL reverse primers (source: GenScript synthesis) and 10 μL PrimerSTAR MAX polymerase (source: TAKARA, catalog number: R450A), mix well.

[0053] Table 3 PCR conditions

[0054]

[0055]

[0056] After the PCR reaction is completed, gel electrophoresis is performed to verify that if the nucleic acid bands are uniform, the next IVT reaction can be performed. If not, it needs to be repeated.

[0057] 2. In vitro transcription (IVT)

[0058] A small amount of IVT testing was performed according to the following ratio in Table 4 (20 μL system):

[0059] Table 4 IVT system

[0060] <![CDATA[ddH 2 The]]> 11μL 10x HYB (Source: ApexBio, Catalog No.: K1083) 2μL Cap1 (B8176, 100 mM) (Source: ApexBio, Catalog No.: B8176) 0.4μL GTP (100 mM) (Source: Zhaowei, Product No.: R2331) 0.4μL ATP (100 mM) (Source: Zhaowei, Product No.: R1331) 0.4μL CTP (100mM) (Source: Zhaowei, Product No.: R3331) 0.4μL Pseudo-U (100mM) (Source: Zhaowei, Product No.: R5331) 0.4μL T7 mix (Source: ApexBio, Product No.: K1083) 2μL PCR products 3μL Total 20μL

[0061] After the preparation is completed, the entire reaction system is placed in a 37°C water bath and incubated for 2 hours. After the reaction is completed, the DNA template is digested. At this time, 1 μL DNase I (source: Vazymy, item number: EN401-01) (35 μL for 1mL IVT reaction) is added and digested at 37°C for 15 minutes before IVT recovery. The recovery steps are as follows:

[0062] I. Add 80 μL ddHO to 20 μL of digestion product 2 O, make up to 100 μL.

[0063] II. Add 350 μL Solution D and 250 μL anhydrous ethanol (source: Shanghai Test, catalog number: 801769722), mix thoroughly, transfer to a nucleic acid purification column (source: Solarbio, catalog number: N1012), and centrifuge at 10,000 g for 1 min.

[0064] III. Add 500 μL of 70% ethanol and centrifuge at 10,000 g for 1 min. Repeat once and then centrifuge at 10,000 g for 2 min.

[0067] 3. Cell Transfection

[0068] After 1 μg of mRNA sample was incubated with 3 μL of lipo2000 at room temperature for 20 min, the mixed sample was added to 1e6 Expi293F (Thermo fisher, catalog number: A39241) cells and cultured at 37° C., 5% CO 2 for 18-20 h, and then the cells were collected.

[0069] 2. In vitro flow cytometry

[0070] 1. Wash the transfected cells three times with 1xPBS (Source: Bioengineering, Catalog No.: B548117-0500), and then add 500uL 1xPBS for resuspending.

[0071] 2. Take 3 equal portions of 100uL from the single-cell suspension of each sample and add them into 1.5mL EP tubes (source: Shanghai Yueyi Biological, item number: YB-1.5s), and mark them as Unstained group, T1 group, and T2 group respectively.

[0072] 3. Sample preparation for single staining group and LIVE&DEAD group: Since the RSV F protein conformation is divided into postfusion and prefusion conformations, and the prefusion conformation is further divided into monomer and trimer, this experiment used three antibodies for detection, namely 4D7 (source: Baiying Bio, batch number: 20220808M011), D25 (source: Baiying Bio, batch number: 20220808M010), and AM14 (source: Baiying Bio, batch number: 20220808M009). At the same time, referring to the literature knowledge, the above three antibodies were labeled with AF647 (source: thermo Fisher, product number: A20186) and AF488 fluorescent dyes (source: thermoFisher, product number: A20181), and named 4D7-AF647, D25-AF488, and AM14-AF488, respectively. The single-stained tubes were stained with 4D7-AF647 and D25-AF488 respectively. The LIVE&DEAD group was prepared by incubating in a 65°C metal bath (source: Hangzhou Ruicheng Instrument Co., Ltd., catalog number: DH300) for 30 minutes, and then immediately placed on ice. When loading the sample, SYTOX (source: thermo, catalog number: S34861) with a final concentration of 1 / 5000 was added for signal reading.

[0074] 5. Before loading, add 75 μL of SYTOX with a final concentration of 1 / 5000 to the LIVE&DEAD group, T1 group, and T2 group. Incubate at room temperature for 5 min and perform flow cytometry detection on a flow cytometer (source: Cytek, catalog number: NL-CLC V16 B14 R8).

[0075] 3. Western Blot

[0076] 1. Preparation of cell lysis buffer: Add the transfected cell sample to the cell lysis buffer containing protease inhibitors (source: ApexBio, catalog number: K1012), incubate on ice for 10 minutes, centrifuge at 12000g for 10 minutes, and collect the supernatant.

[0077] 2. Preparation of electrophoresis samples: Divide the above lysed samples into two equal parts, add 4xLDS loading (source: invitrogen, catalog number: NP0008) containing 40mM DTT and 4x LDS loading without DTT respectively. The sample containing DTT needs to be boiled at 95℃ for 8min, and immediately placed on ice for cooling after boiling. The sample without DTT does not need any treatment.

[0078] 3. Add the prepared electrophoresis samples to the corresponding channels of the protein gel (source: Tanno, catalog number: 180-9115H), and use 1xMOPS Running buffer (source: Tanno, catalog number: BT8100-2002H) to perform protein electrophoresis in the corresponding electrophoresis tank (source: Tanno, catalog number: VE-180).

[0079] 4. Color development of target protein: After electrophoresis, transfer the protein gel to a membrane using a semi-dry transfer electrophoresis instrument (source: BIO-RAD, catalog number: 1704150EDU). After transfer, incubate with the corresponding primary antibody (source: PROMEGA, catalog number: CS2006A01) and secondary antibody (source: Abcam, catalog number: ab6728). After the end, use ECL luminescent color development solution (source: ApexBio, catalog number: K1200) for analysis in a gel imaging system.

[0080] 5. After the target protein is developed, use 1x stripping buffer to wash the PVDF membrane (source: Cytia, catalog number: 10600023) to remove the bound primary and secondary antibodies, then block it, incubate with appropriate concentrations of primary antibody (source: PROTEINTECH, catalog number: 60004-1-Ig) and secondary antibody (source: Abcam, catalog number: ab6728), and after completion, use ECL luminescent colorimetric solution (source: ApexBio, catalog number: K1200) for analysis in a gel imaging system.

[0081] 4. mRNA-LNP integrity detection

[0082] 1. Pipette 10 μL of mRNA-LNP (200 ng / μL) sample into a new EP tube, add 0.4 μL of 10% triton x-100, boil the sample at 70°C for 5 min, and immediately place on ice.

[0083] 2. Pipette 400ng of the above sample, add 1μL RNA loading and 1μL ddH 2 O, boil the sample at 70℃ for 8min and then immediately place the sample on ice. Centrifuge at short speed after cooling. Take an appropriate volume of sample and perform agarose gel electrophoresis on an electrophoresis instrument.

[0084] 5. Total antibody level detection

[0085] 1. Antigen coating: Dilute the target antigen (source: Shanghai Lanque Biotechnology, batch number: rq20221031) to 1 μg / mL, and draw 100 μL into a 96-well ELISA coated plate (source: Nest, catalog number: 514201), and incubate overnight in a 4°C refrigerator away from light. Block the plate with 1xPBST solution containing 3% bovine serum albumin for 2 hours at room temperature. Dilute the immune mouse serum 100 times as the initial concentration, and then make 4-fold serial dilutions in PBS buffer, with a total of 11 gradients. 1xPBST wash plate incubated with serially diluted serum at room temperature for 2 hours. To determine RSV F-specific antibody response, the plate was incubated with rabbit anti-mouse IgG HRP (source: abcam, catalog number: ab6728) at 25°C for 1 hour, and then the substrate tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) solution (source: Invitrogen, catalog number: 00-4201-56) was used for color development. After about 12 minutes, the color development reaction was terminated with 1 M sulfuric acid, and the absorbance was measured at a wavelength of 450 nm using a microplate reader (model: Synergy H1, purchased from BioTek).

[0120] Dayu: Add 200 μL of Dayu Elispot-specific serum-free medium to each well and remove it after standing at room temperature for 5-10 minutes.

[0121] Mabtech: Wash the plate 4 times with sterile 1xPBS, add 200 μL / well of serum-free medium, and incubate at room temperature for at least 30 min.

[0122] 2. After adding cells to the wells, add stimulants, cover the plate, and place in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for 23 hours. Avoid shaking during the incubation period.

[0123] Day 2:

[0124] Post-culture operation (sterile operation is no longer required)

[0125] 1. Lyse cells: Pour out the culture medium in the wells. Add pre-cooled deionized water, 200 μL / well, and place in a 4°C refrigerator for 10 minutes to lyse the cells hypotonicly.

[0126] 2. Prepare 1× washing buffer: dilute with deionized water (1:50) to make 1x washing buffer for later use. Store in a 4℃ refrigerator after use (make as much as you need).

[0127] 3. Wash the plate: Pour the liquid in the wells, 1x washing buffer, 250μL / well, wash 6 times, stay for 1min each time. Dry the plate on absorbent paper each time.

[0128] 4. Detection antibody incubation: Add the diluted biotin-labeled antibody working solution to each experimental well, 100 μL / well. Incubate at 37°C for 1 hour.

[0129] Dilution Buffer R (10×): Dilute with 1× PBS (1:9) to prepare 1× Dilution Buffer R working solution for later use.

[0130] Biotinylated antibody: dilute (1:100) with Dilution buffer R (1x) to prepare the working solution.

[0131] 5. Wash the plate: Pour the liquid in the wells, 1x washing buffer, 250μL / well, wash 6 times, stay for 1min each time. Dry the plate on absorbent paper each time.

[0135] 8. Color development: Add the prepared ACE color development solution to each experimental well, 100μL / well. Incubate at room temperature away from light for 5-30 minutes, and choose the end time of color development according to the spot formation. If the room temperature is lower than 20℃, it is recommended to develop the color in a 37℃ incubator and check every 5-10 minutes.

[0136] ACE colorimetric solution: Mix ACE dilution, ACE solution I (20x), ACE solution II (20x), and ACE solution III (200x) in a clean container at a ratio of 180:10:10:1 to prepare the working solution. See Table 5 below. The half-life of ACE colorimetric solution at room temperature is 30 minutes. Prepare it for use immediately.

[0138]

[0139] 9. Stop color development: Pour the liquid in the wells, wash the front and back of each experimental well and the base 3 times with deionized water to stop color development. Place the plate in a cool place at room temperature, wait for it to dry naturally, and then close the base.

[0140] 10. Count the spots on the ELISPOT plate and record various parameters of the spots for statistical analysis. If readings cannot be taken in time, seal and store the plates away from light and try to read the plates within one week.

[0174] The serial codes are explained in Table 14 below:

[0176] Type Mutation site _Cys D486C / D489C -ΔCys C102A / C362A -DS A149C / Y458C

[0177] Example 2 Antigen screening

[0178] This example uses the operations of “1. In vitro transcription and mRNA transfection”, “2. In vitro flow cytometry” and “3. Western Blot” in Example 1.

[0179] Each antigen expression gene was synthesized by GenScript.

[0180] The coding genes of each antigen are shown in SEQ ID NO:31-61, and the amino acid sequences of each antigen are shown in SEQ ID NO:8-30. (Among them, the coding nucleic acid sequence used by 003m is SEQ ID NO:37)

[0181] result:

[0182] Figure 1 : From the WB results of in vitro transfection, m5K6I, 006m-010m, and 003m all have relatively obvious expressions, and because the above mutants all contain linkers, from the results of reduced gel, they all show obvious single-chain forms. In the absence of linkers, the F1 and F2 domains are clearly distinguished.

[0183] From the perspective of the average fluorescence intensity (Table 15), the expression levels of m5K6I and 006m-010m antigens on the membrane surface were also high, and the expression level of 003m on the membrane surface was second.

[0184] Table 15 Fluorescence data

[0185]

[0186] Figure 2:There are three flow cytometry detection antibodies, namely 4D7 (labeled with Alexa Flour 647 to detect postfusion conformation), AM14 (labeled with Alexa Flour 488 to detect trimer prefusion conformation), and D25 (labeled with Alexa Flour 488 to detect prefusion conformation). From the results, the conformation of mA2F (i.e. wild type, WT) is basically equal to that of postfusion and prefusion, and the conformation of DS-Cav1 is mostly prefusion conformation, but some postfusion conformation exists. Compared with other mutants, the membrane surface conformation of 003m is basically prefusion conformation, and no obvious postfusion conformation exists. The membrane surface conformations of 006m-010m, m5K6I, mF111, and mSC-TM are also largely postfusion conformations.

[0187] Example 3 Disulfide bond modification of antigen

[0188] This example uses "1. In vitro transcription and mRNA transfection", "2. In vitro flow cytometry" and "3. Western Blot" in Example 1.

[0189] result:

[0190] Figure 3 : From the WB results, after adding the disulfide bond pair D486C / D489C, 007m-010m was renamed 007m_Cys-010_Cys, and there was no obvious decrease in the expression level; after adding the disulfide bond pair A149C / Y458C to 003m and 007m-010m (renamed as 003m_DS and 007m_DS-010m_DS), the expression level of the protein was significantly reduced; and after removing the disulfide bond pair A102C / S362C from 003m and 007m_Cys-010_Cys (renamed as 003m_ΔCys and 007m_Cys_ΔCys-010_Cys_ΔCys), its expression level also decreased significantly.

[0191] Figure 4:From the flow results, 003m, 007m_Cys-010_Cys can maintain the prefusion conformation relatively stably, while 007m-010m, 007m_DS-010m_DS, 007m_Cys_ΔCys-010_Cys_ΔCys can not maintain the prefusion conformation stably, and although 003m-DS can maintain the prefusion conformation, its membrane surface expression has a significant decrease, and combined with WB results, the overall expression has also been significantly reduced. The cell surface fluorescence signal values ​​of flow are shown in Table 16 below, which can reflect the content of the target protein on the cell surface.

[0192] Since the above-mentioned different disulfide bond combinations failed to significantly increase the protein expression level, it can be seen that the design of 003m is also relatively reasonable.

[0193] Table 16 Fluorescence data

[0194]

[0195] Example 4 Lengthened design of antigen

[0196] This example uses “1. In vitro transcription and mRNA transfection”, “2. In vitro flow cytometry” and “3. Western Blot” in Example 1.

[0197] Figure 5 : For 003m and DS-Cav1, we made the extended mutations of 1xGCN4t and 2xGCN4t respectively (both inserted between the 516th and 517th positions of 003m and DS-Cav1). From the WB results, the extended mutation design had a more obvious decrease in the expression level in 003m.

[0198] From the average fluorescence intensity (Table 17), after the lengthening design, the antigen expression on the membrane surface showed a clear downward trend.

[0199] Table 17 Fluorescence data

[0200]

[0201] Figure 6 : From the flow cytometry results, after the extension of 003m, except for 2xGCN4t, the other mutations can maintain the prefusion conformation well in in vitro expression.

[0202] Conclusion: Based on the above comparison, not all antigens can achieve good results (including maintenance of conformation and expression level) by lengthening with GCN4t. Generally speaking, 003m is more suitable for GCN4t lengthening design.

[0203] Example 5 Preparation of lipid nanoparticles

[0204] The mRNA of the antigen sequence selected in the above example was ionized (cationic) at low pH, and coated into nanoparticles by two auxiliary lipids DSPC (distearylphosphatidylcholine, item number: B90536, manufacturer: Nippon Seika Co., Ltd.) and cholesterol (item number: C00373, manufacturer: Nippon Seika Co., Ltd.), as well as RL151 (item number: W211-YB211202, purchased from: Zhejiang Shenzhou Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.), pegylated lipid (DMG-PEG2000, item number: M-DMG-2000, purchased from: JenKem). The mRNA aqueous solution was prepared by mixing the mRNA dissolved in ultrapure water with a 100 mM (millimoles per liter, or mmol / L) citrate buffer at a volume ratio of 1:1 at pH 4.0. The ratio of the four lipid components was adjusted (molar ratio, for example, cationic lipid RL151: cholesterol: DSPC: DMG-PEG2000 = 50:38.5:10:1.5) and dissolved in 99.5% ethanol to form a lipid solution. The mRNA and lipid solution were mixed in a NanoAssemblr (manufacturer: Precision Nanosystems) microfluidic mixing system with H 2 O:EtOH=3:1 volume mixing ratio and a constant total flow rate of 12mL / min are mixed, and lipid nanoparticles are prepared according to the nitrogen-phosphorus ratio of ionizable lipids to mRNA of (3-15):1. Lipid nanoparticles containing mRNA (mRNA-LNP) are obtained. Lipid nanoparticles containing mRNA (mRNA-LNP) are obtained. The lipid nanoparticles are dialyzed, concentrated, filtered and stored to obtain a vaccine containing the target antigen.

[0205] Figure 7 : From the gel electrophoresis results, neither the mRNA purification product nor the LNP-coated mRNA underwent obvious degradation.

[0206] Figure 8 : According to the flow cytometry results of mRNA-LNP expression in vitro for 20 hours, the membrane surface expression level of 003m-1xGCN4t was significantly lower than that of 003m, and also much lower than that of m5K6I and Moderna-ΔCT; the membrane surface expression levels of the 1xGCN4t extended forms of 003m and DS-Cav1 were slightly lower than those of 2xGCN4t; all extended forms of 003m and DS-Cav1 could maintain the trimer prefusion conformation well; the membrane surface expression levels of 10m-Cys and 003m were basically the same.

[0207] Example 6 First round of animal immunization

[0208] 1. Animal vaccination and serum collection

[0209] Balb / c mice: For mouse vaccination, 5- to 7-week-old female Balb / c mice (purchased from Hangzhou Ziyuan Experimental Animal Technology Co., Ltd.) were intramuscularly immunized with the target antigen vaccine prepared in Example 5 (hereinafter referred to as "immunization"), and a second dose was given on the 21st day after vaccination to enhance the immune response. The number of BALB / c mice in each group was 6 (n=6).

[0210] The immunization method is shown in Table 19 below:

[0211] Table 19 Immunization method

[0212]

[0213]

[0214] The administration was performed twice, with an interval of 3 weeks. The dosage for each administration is shown in the table above. Use a sterile insulin syringe of appropriate specifications to accurately draw 400 μl of the test sample (slowly invert the syringe 5-10 times to mix before drawing the test sample), and select the right lower limb of the animal for intramuscular injection, with a single injection of 50 μl.

[0215] The sera of the immunized mice were collected and inactivated at 56°C for 0.5 hours to detect RSV F protein-specific IgG and neutralizing antibodies.

[0216] 2. Antibody Level Detection

[0217] The total antibody level detection method used the antibody level detection method in the fourth part of Example 1, and the neutralizing antibody detection method used the "fifth, total antibody level detection" and "sixth, neutralizing antibody level detection" in Example 1. Results:

[0218] Fig. 9 : From the perspective of total antibody levels in serum, the serum produced by mA2F (i.e. wild type) immunized mice mainly targets the postfusion conformation. In the serum of DS-Cav1 immunized mice, the total amount of antibodies against the prefusion conformation was the highest, followed by m5K6I and Moderna-ΔCT, and then 003m. The total antibody level against the postfusion conformation produced by mice immunized with 003m was the lowest. The total antibody against the prefusion conformation produced by 003m-1xGCN4t was significantly higher than that of 003m and 003m-2xGCN4t, and the total antibody level against the postfusion conformation was also at a low level.

[0219] Judging from the results of the neutralization experiment (Table 20 and Table 21), the neutralizing antibody titer produced by 003m-1xGCN4t is also high.

[0221]

[0222]

[0223] Table 21 Neutralizing antibody titers of each subtype in serum two weeks after second immunization

[0224]

[0225] 3. Cellular Immune Response in Balb / c Mice

[0226] The detection process refers to "VII. Antigen-specific T cell response detection" in Example 1.

[0227] The results of intracellular factor detection were basically consistent with those of serum titer detection.

[0228] The expression levels of IL-4 and IL-5 in each experimental group were low, suggesting no associated risks.

[0229] Fig.10 and Fig.11 : Judging from the results of CD8 single factor and multi-factor, the trend is basically consistent with the total anti-level. The cellular immunity level induced by 003m is lower than that of m5K6I, DS-Cav1, and Moderna-ΔCT, and the cellular immunity level induced by 003m-1xGCN4t is higher than that of 003m-2xGCN4t.

[0230] Fig.12 and Fig.13 : Judging from the CD4 single factor and multifactor results, mA2F induced higher levels of IL-4 and IL-5, while the other groups were slightly lower. In the extended type, both IL-4 and IL-5 levels were lower, indicating that the VED (vaccine enhanced disease) phenomenon it may induce is weaker.

[0231] IV. Cellular Immune Response of Balb / c Mice (Elispot)

[0232] The detection process refers to "VIII. ELISPot" in Example 1.

[0233] Detection time: 95 days after the second vaccination

[0234] Immunoassay: 2.5μg

[0235] like Fig.14As shown: The results of Elispot and intracellular factor detection are basically consistent, and Moderna-ΔCT has the highest levels of IFN-γ and IL-2. In the elongated mutation of DS-Cav1, the results of the two mutants are not much different, while in the elongated form of 003m, the results of 1xGCN4t are slightly better than 2xGCN4t.
