Abstract
Description
Artificial nucleic acid molecule
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biomedicine. The present invention relates to an artificial nucleic acid molecule, which comprises an open reading frame, a 3'-untranslated region element (3'-UTR element) and / or a 5'-untranslated region element (5'-UTR element). The present invention also relates to a vector comprising a 3'-UTR element and / or a 5'-UTR element, to a cell comprising the artificial nucleic acid molecule or the vector, to a lipid composition or a pharmaceutical composition comprising the artificial nucleic acid molecule or the vector, and to a kit comprising the artificial nucleic acid molecule, the vector, the lipid composition and / or the pharmaceutical composition, preferably for the fields of gene therapy and / or gene vaccination.
[0002] For gene therapy and gene vaccination, stable RNA is usually required. Stable RNA enables the product encoded by the RNA sequence to accumulate in vivo and, during its storage, preparation and administration, stable RNA can maintain its structural and functional integrity. Therefore, there is a need to provide stable RNA molecules for gene therapy or gene vaccination to prevent them from undergoing early degradation or decay. As a solution for mRNA stabilization, it has been found that naturally occurring eukaryotic mRNA molecules contain specific stabilization elements. For example, its 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) and / or 5'-untranslated region (5'-UTR). Both 3'-UTR and 5'-UTR are typical premature mRNA elements.
[0003] An mRNA molecule carries a gene encoding a corresponding protein. The two sides of this gene have specific untranslated regions at the 5' of the AUG start codon and at the 3' of the stop codon, and these regions are called 5'-untranslated region and 3'-untranslated region. Generally, the 3'-UTR is a part of the sequence between the protein-coding region (open reading frame (ORF) or coding sequence (CDS)) and the polyadenylation sequence, which can regulate the stability, localization and expression of mRNA.
[0004] In the prior art, many untranslated region sequences that are beneficial to improving the stability and expression level of mRNA have been designed and experimentally studied based on the untranslated regions of some naturally occurring proteins. However, there is still a need in the art for more untranslated region sequences that are more beneficial to enhancing the stability and safety of gene therapy and gene vaccination.

As used herein, "ribonucleotide" is a constituent of ribonucleic acid (RNA), consisting of one molecule of base, one molecule of pentose sugar, and one molecule of phosphoric acid, and refers to a nucleotide having a hydroxyl group at the 2'-position of the β-D-ribofuranosyl group. "Deoxyribonucleotide" is a constituent of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), also consisting of one molecule of base, one molecule of pentose sugar, and one molecule of phosphoric acid, and refers to a nucleotide in which the hydroxyl group at the 2'-position of the β-D-ribofuranosyl group is replaced by hydrogen, and is the main chemical component of chromosomes. "Nucleotide" is usually denoted by a single letter representing the base therein: "A(a)" refers to deoxyadenosine monophosphate or adenosine monophosphate containing adenine, "C(c)" refers to deoxycytidine monophosphate or cytidine monophosphate containing cytosine, "G(g)" refers to deoxyguanosine monophosphate or guanosine monophosphate containing guanine, "U(u)" refers to uridine monophosphate containing uracil, and "T(t)" refers to deoxythymidine monophosphate containing thymine.
[0056] As used herein, the terms "polynucleotide" and "nucleic acid" are used interchangeably and refer to a polymer of deoxyribonucleotides (deoxyribonucleic acid, DNA) or a polymer of ribonucleotides (ribonucleic acid, RNA). "Polynucleotide sequence", "nucleic acid sequence", and "nucleotide sequence" are used interchangeably to denote the order of nucleotides in a polynucleotide. Those skilled in the art should understand that the DNA coding strand (sense strand) and the RNA it encodes can be regarded as having the same nucleotide sequence, and deoxythymidine monophosphate in the DNA coding strand sequence corresponds to uridine monophosphate in the RNA sequence it encodes.
[0057] As used herein, "artificial nucleic acid molecule" can be understood as a non-natural nucleic acid molecule. Such a nucleic acid molecule can be non-natural due to its individual sequence (which does not exist in nature) and / or due to other modifications (such as structural modifications of nucleotides that do not exist in nature). Artificial nucleic acid molecules can be DNA molecules, RNA molecules, or hybrid molecules containing both DNA and RNA moieties. Typically, artificial nucleic acid molecules can be designed and / or produced by genetic engineering methods. In this case, the artificial nucleic acid molecule contains an artificial sequence that is usually not present in nature, and the artificial sequence differs from the wild-type sequence by at least one nucleotide. The term "wild-type sequence" can be understood as a naturally occurring sequence.
[0058] As used herein, "modified" refers to non-natural. For example, an RNA can be a modified RNA. That is, an RNA can include one or more non-naturally occurring nucleobases, nucleosides, nucleotides, or linking groups. A "modified" group can also be referred to herein as an "altered" group. A group can be modified or altered chemically, structurally, or functionally. For example, a modified nucleobase can include one or more non-naturally occurring substitutions.
[0059] As used herein, the term "transfection" refers to the introduction of a nucleic acid molecule, such as a DNA or RNA (e.g., mRNA) molecule, into a cell, preferably into a eukaryotic cell. Within the scope of the present invention, the term "transfection" includes any method known to those skilled in the art for introducing a nucleic acid molecule into a cell, preferably into a eukaryotic cell, such as into a mammalian cell. Such methods include, for example, electroporation, lipid transfection, such as cationic lipid- and / or liposome-based transfection, calcium phosphate precipitation, nanoparticle-based transfection, virus-based transfection, or transfection based on cationic polymers (such as DEAE-dextran or polyethyleneimine), etc. Preferably, the method is lipid transfection.
[0060] As used herein, the term "expression" includes transcription and / or translation of a nucleotide sequence. Thus, expression can involve the production of a transcript and / or a polypeptide.
[0061] As used herein, the term "translation efficiency" relates to a nucleic acid molecule (e.g., mRNA) containing an open reading frame (ORF). Translation efficiency is experimentally measurable. Translation efficiency is typically measured by determining the amount of protein translated from the ORF. For experimental measurement of translation efficiency, the ORF preferably encodes a reporter protein or any other protein that can be quantified. In the context of the present invention, translation efficiency is particularly applicable to such nucleic acid molecules that, in addition to the ORF, also contain at least one 3'-UTR element, preferably as defined herein. It should be understood that in the present invention, high translation efficiency is typically provided by a specific UTR element (a specific 3'-UTR element). Although for experimental quantification of translation efficiency, the ORF suitably encodes a reporter protein or any other protein that can be quantified, the present invention is not limited to such purposes; thus, at least one 3'-UTR element of the present invention (which provides high translation efficiency) can be included in a nucleic acid molecule containing an ORF that does not encode a reporter protein.
[0062] Translation efficiency is a relative term that is determined by determining and comparing the translation efficiencies of multiple (e.g., two or more) nucleic acid molecules, e.g., by experiments to quantify the proteins encoded by the ORFs. One of the nucleic acid molecules can be referred to as the "reference nucleic acid molecule" or "reference construct", and the other as the "test nucleic acid molecule" or "test construct", and the test nucleic acid molecule can be the artificial nucleic acid molecule described in the present invention. For this purpose, the reference nucleic acid molecule and the test nucleic acid molecule share the same ORF (the same nucleic acid sequence); and preferably, the nucleic acid sequence of the test nucleic acid molecule is the same as that of the reference nucleic acid molecule, except for the UTR element being tested, i.e., the 3'-UTR element; in other words, preferably, the test nucleic acid molecule and the reference nucleic acid molecule differ from each other only in that the 3'-UTR element has different nucleic acid sequences; such that the 3'-UTR element is the only structural feature that distinguishes the test nucleic acid molecule and the reference nucleic acid molecule.
[0063] As used herein, a "vector" is a vehicle for introducing an exogenous polynucleotide into a host cell, and when the vector is transformed into a suitable host cell, the exogenous polynucleotide is amplified or expressed. The vector generally remains free, but can be designed to integrate a gene or a part thereof into the chromosome of the genome. As used herein, the definition of a vector encompasses plasmids, linearized plasmids, viral vectors, cosmids, phage vectors, phagemids, artificial chromosomes (e.g., yeast artificial chromosomes and mammalian artificial chromosomes), etc. Viral vectors include but are not limited to retroviral vectors (including lentiviral vectors), adenoviral vectors, adeno-associated viral vectors, herpes viral vectors, poxviral vectors, and baculoviral vectors, etc.
[0064] As used herein, a "cell" is a cell for receiving, retaining, replicating, and amplifying a vector. The cell can also be used to express the polypeptide encoded by the vector. When the cell divides, the nucleic acid contained in the vector replicates, thereby amplifying the nucleic acid. The cell can be a eukaryotic cell or a prokaryotic cell. Suitable cells include but are not limited to CHO cells, various COS cells, HeLa cells, HEK cells such as HEK 293 cells.

[0089] Provided herein is an artificial nucleic acid molecule comprising
[0090] a. at least one open reading frame (ORF); and
[0091] b. at least one 3'-untranslated region element (3'-UTR element).
[0092] As used herein, an "open reading frame (ORF)" is a sequence of nucleotide triplets that can be translated into a peptide or protein. The open reading frame preferably contains a start codon at the end of its 5'-untranslated region element, i.e., a combination of three consecutive nucleotides (ATG) that typically encodes the amino acid methionine, and a contiguous region that typically presents in multiples of three nucleotide lengths. The open reading frame of the present invention is preferably a nucleotide sequence composed of a number of nucleotides divisible by three, which starts with a start codon (e.g., ATG) and preferably ends with a stop codon (e.g., TAA, TGA, or TAG). The open reading frame can be isolated or integrated into a longer nucleic acid sequence, such as a vector or mRNA. The open reading frame can also be referred to as a "protein-coding region"
[0093] The untranslated region (UTR) can have features that provide regulatory effects, such as an increase or decrease in stability, localization, and / or translation efficiency. Polynucleotides containing UTRs can be administered to cells, tissues, or organisms, and one or more regulatory features can be measured using conventional methods.
[0094] As used herein, the term "3'-UTR" refers to a portion of an artificial nucleic acid molecule that is located 3' (i.e., "downstream") of the open reading frame and that is not translated into a protein. Generally, the 3'-UTR is a portion of the mRNA between the protein-coding region (open reading frame (ORF) or coding sequence (CDS)) of the mRNA and the polyadenylation sequence. The 3'-UTR of the mRNA is not translated into an amino acid sequence. The 3'-UTR plays an important role in the regulation of biological complexity, which can regulate the localization and expression of mRNA, can regulate the translation of mRNA, and can also regulate protein-protein interactions (see, e.g., Mayr C. What Are 3'UTRs Doing? Cold Spring Harb Perspect Biol. 2019 Oct 1;11(10):a034728).

[0229] As used herein, the term "5'-untranslated region element (5'-UTR element)" refers to a part of an artificial nucleic acid molecule that is located at the 5' end (i.e., "upstream") of an open reading frame and that is not translated into protein. Typically, the 5'-UTR starts at the transcription start site and ends at a nucleotide before the start codon of the open reading frame. The 5'-UTR plays a key role in regulating gene expression. The DNA sequence of the 5'-UTR can contain many cis-regulatory elements that can interact with the transcriptional machinery to regulate the abundance of messenger RNA (mRNA). In addition, the transcribed 5'-UTR consists of a variety of RNA-based regulatory elements, including the 5' cap structure, secondary structure, RNA-binding protein motifs, upstream open reading frames (uORFs), internal ribosome entry sites, terminal oligopyrimidine (TOP) tracts, and G-quadruplexes. These elements can alter the efficiency of mRNA translation; some can also affect mRNA transcription levels through changes in stability or degradation (see, e.g., Lim, Y., et al. Multiplexed functional genomic analysis of 5'untranslated region mutations across the spectrum of prostate cancer. Nat Commun 12, 4217 (2021)).
[0230] In a preferred embodiment, the artificial nucleic acid molecule further comprises at least one 5'-untranslated region element (5'-UTR element).

The poly(A) sequence is typically located at the 3' end of the RNA, such as the 3' end (downstream) of the 3'-UTR. In some embodiments, the poly(A) sequence does not contain nucleotides other than adenosines at its 3' end. The poly(A) sequence can be generated during the preparation of IVT-RNA by transcription of the coding sequence of a DNA template by a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, or can be ligated to the free 3' end of the IVT-RNA, such as the 3' end of the 3'-UTR, by a DNA-independent RNA polymerase (poly(A) polymerase). In one embodiment, the artificial nucleic acid molecule further comprises a polyadenylate sequence.
[0233] As used herein, the term "polycytidylate sequence" refers to a nucleotide sequence that includes consecutive or non-consecutive cytidylate. The polycytidylate sequence is typically located at the 3'-end of RNA, such as at the 3'-end (downstream) of the 3'-UTR. In some embodiments, the polycytidylate sequence does not include nucleotides other than cytidylate at its 3'-end. In one embodiment, the artificial nucleic acid molecule further comprises a polycytidylate sequence.

The 5'-cap can be added co-transcriptionally to the RNA in vitro transcription (e.g., using an anti-reverse cap analog "ARCA"), or can be ligated to the RNA post-transcriptionally using a capping enzyme. In one embodiment, the artificial nucleic acid molecule further comprises a 5'-cap structure.
[0235] As used herein, a "stem-loop" (whether it is a histone stem-loop or not) can generally be present in single-stranded DNA, or more commonly in RNA. This structure is also referred to as a hairpin or hairpin loop, and generally consists of a stem and a (terminal) loop within a continuous sequence, wherein the stem is formed by two adjacent fully or partially reverse-complementary sequences separated by a short sequence that serves as a spacer to some extent, and the short sequence serving as the spacer becomes the loop of the stem-loop structure. These two adjacent fully or partially reverse-complementary sequences can be defined as, for example, stem-loop element stem 1 and stem 2. When these two adjacent fully or partially reverse-complementary sequences, e.g., stem-loop element stem 1 and stem 2, base-pair with each other, a double-stranded nucleic acid sequence fragment is formed, which contains an unpaired loop at its end formed by the short sequence located between stem-loop element stem 1 and stem 2 on the continuous sequence, thus forming a stem-loop.
[0236] As used herein, a "histone stem-loop" is derived from a histone gene (e.g., genes from histone families H1, H2A, H2B, H3, H4), and includes an intramolecular base-pairing of two adjacent fully or partially reverse-complementary sequences, thereby forming a stem-loop.

[0909] The plasmids containing different 3'-UTR elements are as follows: Different 3'-UTR elements (sequences shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 - 43) are cloned into the middle region between the stop codon downstream of the reporter gene Firefly Luciferase and the poly(A) sequence by means of gene homologous recombination, that is, the 3'-UTR region shown in Figure 1, and the rest are the same. The plasmid containing only the poly(A) sequence after the stop codon downstream of Firefly Luciferase and without the tested 3'-UTR element is used as a reference construct. Figure 2 shows an exemplary test artificial nucleic acid molecule (SEQ ID NO: 99, where the exemplary 3'-UTR element is SEQ ID NO: 1), and the underlined part is the tested 3'-UTR element. Except for the underlined element, all elements of this sequence shown in Figure 2 are the same as the reference artificial nucleic acid molecule (SEQ ID NO: 100). Therefore, the difference between SEQ ID NO: 99 and SEQ ID NO: 100 is only that there are different tested 3'-UTR elements before the poly(A) sequence.
[0910] The internal reference control plasmid is: The reporter gene Firefly Luciferase is replaced with the renilla luciferase gene (Rluc), and the other sequences of the plasmid are the same.
[0911] The plasmids containing different 3'-UTR elements and the internal reference control plasmid are synthesized by Shanghai Sangon Biotech Co., Ltd. through total gene synthesis.
[0912] A pair of primers (upstream universal primer: 5’TTGGACCCTCGTACAGAAGCTAATACG 3’; and downstream specific complementary long primer carrying poly(T)) and a PCR amplification kit based on high-fidelity DNA polymerase (Novoprotein Scientific Inc.) were used for PCR amplification to obtain a DNA template.
[0913] Example 3. Preparation of mRNA
[0914] Using the purified (Takara purification kit) PCR product prepared in Example 2 as a template, a co-transcriptional capping reaction was carried out using T7 RNA polymerase for in vitro transcription of RNA, thereby generating Cap1 mRNA. 1-Methyl-pseudouridine-triphosphate was added instead of uridine triphosphate (UTP) during in vitro transcription. Therefore, the modification ratio of 1-methyl-pseudouracil in the in vitro transcribed Cap1 mRNA was 100%. After the transcription was completed, DNase I (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.) was used to digest the DNA template to reduce the risk brought by the residual DNA template. Dynabeads Myone (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.) was used to purify the mRNA. The purified mRNA was dissolved in 1 mM sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.5 + / - 0.1), sterile filtered, and stored frozen at -80 °C until use.
[0915] Example 4. Cellular expression verification of the effect of candidate 3'-UTR elements on reporter genes
[0916] HEK-293 cells in good growth state were seeded into a 96-well cell culture plate at a seeding density of 3.5×10 4 cells / well, and then placed in a 37 °C cell culture incubator for 18 - 24 hours. Using Lipofectamine Messenger MAX reagent (Thermo Fisher), the mRNA of the plasmid containing the reporter gene firefly luciferase and the mRNA of the internal reference control plasmid containing the reporter gene sea pansy luciferase in Example 3 were co-transfected into HEK293 cells in the 96-well plate at an mRNA mass ratio of 2:1 per well (a total of 100 ng mRNA), and three replicates were set for each sample. The cell plate transfected with mRNA was placed in a 37 °C, 5% CO 2 cell culture incubator for 24 hours.
[0917] The transfected cell samples were detected using a dual-luciferase reporter gene assay kit (Vazyme, DL101-01). First, pretreatment was carried out. The cell lysate was added to a 96-well cell plate at 100 μL / well. Then, 14 μL of the lysed cell supernatant was carefully aspirated and transferred to a 96-well black microplate. Next, 70 μL of the firefly luciferase substrate equilibrated to room temperature was added to the microplate. After rapid mixing, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader (BioTek) was immediately used. After shaking the plate for 10 seconds, the relative light unit (RLU) value of firefly luciferase was detected at a wavelength of 560 nm. After the detection was completed, 70 μL of the freshly prepared Renilla luciferase substrate working solution was added to the above reaction solution. After rapid mixing, an ELISA reader (BioTek) was immediately used, and the RLU value of Renilla luciferase was detected at a wavelength of 480 nm. The actual report for each well was the ratio of the RLU of firefly luciferase (Fluc) to the RLU of Renilla luciferase (Rluc) in each well (Fluc / Rluc). During data analysis, the Fluc / Rluc of the artificial nucleic acid molecule containing only the poly(A) sequence was used as the reference nucleic acid molecule, and the ratio of the Fluc / Rluc of the artificial nucleic acid molecule containing different 3'-UTR elements to be tested relative to the reference was the final relative expression level. According to the results of three independent repeated experiments, the effects of different 3'-UTR elements on the expression of the reporter gene were analyzed, a statistical histogram was drawn, and statistical analysis was performed.
[0918] The experimental results are shown in Figure 3 and Table 2. The translation efficiency of most of the artificial nucleic acid molecules containing the 3'-UTR elements to be tested was higher than that of the reference nucleic acid molecule. Among them, the relative expression levels of the artificial nucleic acid molecules containing the 3'-UTR elements (SEQ ID NO: 1-16) numbered U3006, U3008, U3009, U3010, U3011, U3016, U3020, U3030, U3051, U3053, U3055, U3056, U3057, U3058, U3060, and U3067 were greater than 1.9, indicating higher translation efficiency.
