[0002] Nanodelivery technology plays a crucial role in the development and application of nanodrugs and gene drugs. Nanodelivery systems can effectively protect genes, small molecule drugs or protein drugs from degradation by various enzymes in the body, thereby prolonging the half-life of the drugs and improving their bioavailability. In addition, nanodelivery systems can achieve sustained release of drugs, maintain effective concentrations of drugs in the body, and significantly improve the therapeutic effect of genes or drugs and reduce side effects through targeting molecule modification. However, current nanodelivery systems are usually composed of multiple different nanomaterials, which are easily recognized by the immune system in the body as foreign substances and can trigger immune responses. In addition, the stability of existing delivery systems is generally poor, and the preparation process is complex, often requiring high-precision equipment and technology, which leads to high production and quality control costs, and large-scale production faces certain challenges. In order to solve the above problems, simplify the preparation process, reduce costs, and improve the stability of nanosystems while reducing potential safety hazards of nanomaterials, the present application provides a cell-targeting lipid nucleic acid aptamer molecule and a high-efficiency cell-targeting nanodelivery system with a unique 3D structure formed by self-assembly of the molecule itself.

The scope of protection of the present application shall be subject to the appended claims.
[0085] The present application relates to a T cell targeting lipid aptamer, which comprises a hydrophobic molecule and a nucleic acid aptamer, wherein the nucleic acid aptamer comprises at least one nucleic acid aptamer targeting a T cell surface molecule.
[0086] In the embodiments of the present application, the molar ratio of the reaction of the hydrophobic molecule and the nucleic acid aptamer in the T cell targeting lipid aptamer is 5000:1-1:10.
[0087] In some specific embodiments, the molar ratio of the reaction of the hydrophobic molecule and the nucleic acid aptamer can be 5000:1, 4500:1, 4000:1, 3500:1, 3000:1, 2500:1, 2000:1, 1500:1, 1000:1, 500:1, 250:1, 100:1, 1:1, 1:2, 1:4, 1:8, 1:10.
[0088] In specific embodiments, the hydrophobic molecule and the aptamer are linked by a chemical bond.
[0089] In some specific embodiments, the chemical bond is selected from at least one of a disulfide bond, an amide bond, a thioester bond, an ester bond, a phosphoramide bond.
[0090] The hydrophobic molecule in the present application refers to a molecule having mutually repulsive properties with water molecules, generally non-polar. In specific embodiments, the hydrophobic molecule is a molecule containing an amino group, a phosphate group, a hydroxyl group, or a carboxyl group.
[0091] In some specific embodiments, the hydrophobic molecule is selected from at least one of 1,2-dioleoyl-SN-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DOPE), dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DSPC), 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-L-serine (sodium salt) (DOPS), dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC), hydrogenated soy phospholipid (HSPC), 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DSPE), 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylserine (DSPG), 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DPPE), 1,2-dilauroylphosphatidylethanolamine (DLPE), 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylglycerol (DPPG), monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA), 1,3-dilinolenin, and polycaprolactone (PCL).
[0092] The term “aptamer” in the present application encompasses single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), RNA, or synthetic DNA analogs (such as Xeno-nucleic acid (XNA) aptamer, TNA aptamer) and their derivatives, such as their site-directed mutants, truncated versions, and chemically modified nucleic acid derivatives, which are artificially synthesized in vitro by the Systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) technique from a library of random oligonucleotide sequences.
[0093] In 1990, Ellington and Tuerk published their research results in Nature and Science respectively, and named the nucleic acid aptamer (Aptamer). Since then, researchers have been constantly discovering new aptamers, and so far more than 2000 aptamers have been reported. Aptamers are also known as "chemical antibodies", which can specifically bind to target molecules (metal ions, drugs, small organic compounds, metabolites, proteins, viruses, bacteria, living cells, etc.) by forming secondary and / or tertiary structures, and at the same time, compared with antibodies, aptamers have the advantages of easy preparation and labeling modification, good stability, low price, etc.
[0094] The screening and optimization of nucleic acid aptamers is called SELEX. The process of classical SELEX usually includes library construction and synthesis (usually the library capacity is between 10 10 to 10 15 ), binding with target ligand, washing unbound nucleic acids, eluting bound nucleic acids, amplifying the target library. The whole screening process needs to be repeated for several rounds, and after several cycles, aptamers with high affinity and high specificity to target ligands are finally obtained. Many new SELEX techniques have been developed, including changing the binding conditions and screening platform, target type, library design and fixed matrix, such as graphene oxide (GO)-SELEX, capillary electrophoresis (CE)-SELEX, cell-SELEX, Photo-SELEX and fluorescence activated cell sorting-SELEX. The aptamers screened can form the following common structures: 1. Stem-loop structure (a stem formed by a complementary base sequence, and a single-stranded region at both ends of the stem forms a loop); 2. Hairpin structure (a stem formed by complementary base pairing, and a single-stranded region forms a hairpin loop); 3. G-quadruplex structure (multiple guanine bases form a planar tetramer through hydrogen bonds) These secondary structures can form conformational matching and multiple non-covalent interactions (hydrogen bonds, van der Waals forces, electrostatic interactions, etc.) with specific sites of the receptor, achieving specific binding. When the length of the screened aptamer is relatively long or the affinity / specificity is not strong, the aptamer can also be optimized by a series of methods. Common methods include truncation (retaining important stem-loop structures), site-directed mutagenesis, chemical modification (such as 2'-O-methyl which can improve the affinity of aptamers), multivalent aptamers, etc.
[0095] XNA is an artificially synthesized genetic polymer, usually by modifying the sugar moiety to obtain enhanced biostability, rich chemical diversity and additional functions. Various types of XNA have been synthesized, capable of storing, retrieving and encoding information, and exchanging information with natural nucleic acids. Threose nucleic acid (also known as trifluorouracil nucleic acid, TNA) is a special type of XNA, due to its simplicity in chemical structure, it is considered as a potential primitive genetic polymer, and has excellent biostability.
[0096] It has been reported that various modified nucleic acids and artificial nucleic acid polymers constructed entirely from non-natural building blocks have been developed, including modifications to the phosphodiester backbone, sugar group and nucleobase. These modifications have an impact on the biostability, chemical diversity, immunogenicity and ability to hybridize with complementary DNA and RNA of nucleic acids. In particular, the improved nuclease stability and the diversity of nucleobase chemical composition are of key significance for the selection and evolution of aptamers with nuclease resistance and high affinity as diagnostic and therapeutic tools.
[0097] Among the sugar-modified nucleic acids, TNA has been extensively studied, with particular attention to additional modifications to its structure, including changes to the phosphodiester backbone or nucleobase. TNA was first proposed by Eschenmoser as an ancestor of RNA. TNA has a 4-carbon sugar threose and a 3'-2' linked phosphodiester backbone, and has higher biostability than DNA and RNA under simulated physiological conditions. Despite the obvious structural differences from DNA and RNA, TNA can still form stable anti-parallel Watson-Crick double strands with classic nucleic acids.
[0098] In the embodiments of the present application, the nucleic acid aptamer targeting T cell surface molecules includes single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), RNA, XNA, TNA, or point mutants, truncates, chemically modified derivatives thereof, or chimeric DNA-TNA oligonucleotides targeting T cell surface molecules. In some specific embodiments, the chemically modified derivatives include derivatives of the phosphodiester backbone, nucleobase, and / or sugar group modified by a chemical group, optionally, the chemical group is selected from amino, thiol, DBCO, carboxyl or hydroxyl.
[0099] In specific embodiments, the nucleic acid aptamer targeting T cell surface molecules can be selected from LD201t1, OSJ-T3, OX40, CD28Apt7, 4-1BB, CD5, CD62L or C2NP.

In some specific embodiments, both of the two nucleic acid aptamers can be nucleic acid aptamers targeting T cell surface molecules.

[0207] 1. Preparation of DOPE-LD201t1 encapsulated mRNA nanoparticle
[0208] The specific preparation method is as follows:
[0209] 1,2-dioleoyl-SN-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DOPE) is mixed with a crosslinking agent, nitrogen-succinimidyl 3 (2-pyridyldithio)-propionate (SPDP) at a mass ratio of 1.5:1, an appropriate amount of catalyst triethylamine (TEA) is added, and the reaction is shaken at room temperature for 2 h.

[0210] The activated DOPE is reacted with the aptamer LD201t1 at a molar ratio of 250:1, and the reaction is stirred at room temperature for 24 h. The DOPE-LD201t1 hybrid molecule is obtained by dialysis using a dialysis bag.
[0211] The DOPE-LD201t1 molecule is mixed with the mRNA molecule at a concentration of 1:2, and the mRNA-loaded nanoparticles are obtained by molecular self-assembly technology. Under transmission electron microscopy, the DOPE-LD201t1 mRNA nanoparticles are uniform spherical nanovesicle-like structures (as shown in Figure 1
[0212] 2. Cell toxicity experiment
[0213] Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) are plated in a 96-well plate at 10 4 cells per well. After overnight incubation, DOPE-LD201t1 mRNA-loaded nanoparticles and naked mRNA (with mRNA concentrations of 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 μg / mL) are added to each well, respectively, and the culture is continued for 24 h. 10 μL of CCK-8 detection solution is added to each well, and the culture is continued in the incubator for 1-4 h. The absorbance at 450 nm is measured using a multifunctional full-wavelength enzyme marker (Thermo Varioskan Flash3001). The results are shown in Figure 2 DOPE-LD201t1 mRNA-loaded nanoparticles have no obvious toxic side effects on HUVEC cells and have high biological safety.
[0214] 3. Cell uptake experiment
[0215] Cy5-mRNA is prepared by labeling the mRNA with Cy5 fluorescent dye using the Label IT Nucleic Acid Labeling kit, and is encapsulated into DL NPs to prepare Cy5-mCAR NPs. After co-incubation of Cy5-mCAR NPs and naked Cy5-mRNA with T cells for 24 h, the uptake of T cells is observed by laser confocal microscopy. The results are shown in Figure 3 As shown, the DL NPs nanoparticles can precisely target T cells and effectively protect mRNA from degradation by RNase enzymes in the environment, improving the ability of mRNA to enter T cells and laying a good foundation for its translation into protein in T cells.
[0216] 4. In vivo biodistribution
[0217] The fluorescent dye Cy7 and DOPE-LD201t1 molecules were mixed in a certain ratio to construct DL NPs nanoparticles encapsulating fluorescent dye Cy7 through molecular self-assembly, and free Cy7 fluorescent dye was used as a control group. At different time points after administration, the fluorescence signal in the mouse body was detected using a small animal live imaging instrument to observe the distribution of DL NPs nanoparticles in vivo, and the results are shown in Figure 4 As shown, after intravenous injection, the free Cy7 fluorescence signal rapidly accumulated in the liver and gradually disappeared after 12 h. In contrast, NPs-Cy7 was significantly enriched in the lungs within 3 h after administration, which may be related to the large accumulation of T cells in the presence of lung inflammation. A certain degree of fluorescence signal was still observed in the lungs of mice 48 h after administration, indicating that DL NPs nanoparticles can precisely target T cells and maintain a high concentration in the lungs for at least 48 h.
[0218] 5. Body weight monitoring
[0219] A bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis model was constructed using 6-8-week-old male C57BL / 6 mice. Specifically, isoflurane gas was used to anesthetize the mice, and an appropriate amount of bleomycin solution was rapidly injected into the glottis of the mice (the administration concentration was 3 mg / kg), and then the mouse body was gently shaken to evenly distribute the drug solution in the lungs. The body weight of the idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis mice was continuously monitored during the entire experimental period, and the results are shown in Figure 5 As shown, the body weight of all the model mice was significantly reduced within 7 days of bleomycin instillation, and then the body weight of the mice in the PBS and naked mRNA treatment groups was significantly reduced after treatment with various drug formulations. In contrast, the body weight of the mice in the DOPE-LD201t1 encapsulated mRNA nanoparticle group increased slowly with the extension of the treatment time, and there was a significant increase at the treatment endpoint, indicating that DOPE-LD201t1 encapsulated mRNA nanoparticles have good therapeutic function and can significantly improve the health status of mice.

Laser confocal microscopy was used to observe the expression of green fluorescent protein EGFP.
[0225] As shown in Figure 8 , the naked mRNA without loading the DPPC-4-1BB nanoparticle shell almost did not express green fluorescence, while the DPPC-4-1BB encapsulated EGFP mRNA nanoparticles could be completely transfected into T cells and express green fluorescent protein, and the intensity of the green fluorescent protein became stronger and stronger with the extension of the incubation time.
