Abstract
Description
UTR for improving translation efficiency and / or stability of RNA molecules and its application Technical field:
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biotechnology and relates to a 5' and / or 3' untranslated region (UTR) for improving the translation efficiency and / or stability of RNA molecules, a nucleic acid molecule comprising the UTR, a vector comprising the UTR or the nucleic acid molecule, a pharmaceutical composition comprising the UTR, the nucleic acid molecule or the vector, and applications of the UTR, the nucleic acid molecule, the vector and the pharmaceutical composition. Background technology:
[0002] mRNA (messenger RNA) is a single-stranded RNA molecule that is manufactured using the genomic DNA in the cell nucleus as a template and then exported to the cytoplasm. It is translated in the ribosome to produce specific proteins to exert biological effects. mRNA has the potential to synthesize any protein. Due to its economical, safe, fast and flexible characteristics, mRNA drugs have huge application potential in the prevention of infectious diseases, cancer and rare diseases.
[0003] mRNA vaccines have already gained clinical application in the prevention of infectious diseases. Compared with recombinant protein subunit vaccines, inactivated vaccines, or DNA vaccines, mRNA vaccines offer several distinct advantages. First, because mRNA does not infect the body or integrate into genomic DNA, its safety is greatly improved. Second, the use of modified bases can reduce the inherent immunogenicity of mRNA molecules and minimize their degradation by the body, further improving the safety and stability of mRNA vaccines. Furthermore, the high yield of mRNA synthesis in vitro makes mRNA vaccines highly efficient, rapidly developable, cost-effective to manufacture, and easy to manage safely.
[0004] The untranslated region (UTR) of mRNA controls the translation, degradation and localization of genes, including the stem-loop structure, upstream start codon, upstream open reading frame, internal ribosome entry site and various cis-acting elements that bind to RNA-binding proteins.
[0005] UTRs play a crucial role in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression, including regulating mRNA nuclear export and translation efficiency, subcellular localization, and stability. UTRs may also play other roles, such as the specific incorporation of the modified amino acid selenocysteine at the UGA codon in mRNAs encoding selenoproteins, a process mediated by a conserved stem-loop structure in the 3'-UTR.
[0006] Those skilled in the art know that the translation efficiency of mRNA molecules directly affects the dosage and dosing interval of mRNA drugs (especially mRNA vaccines), ultimately affecting the bioavailability of mRNA drugs and determining the clinical application value of mRNA drugs. Although there are technical solutions for increasing the translation efficiency and stability of mRNA molecules, such as by adding untranslated regions (UTRs) to improve the translation efficiency of mRNA molecules, there is still a need for further improvement in improving the translation efficiency of mRNA molecules.
[0007] Therefore, there is a need to identify or design UTRs that can achieve higher mRNA translation efficiency and / or stability.

[0067] The term "variant" in reference to nucleic acids refers to a nucleic acid variant, wherein at least one nucleotide of the nucleic acid variant is different from a reference nucleic acid (or "parent"). Compared to a reference nucleic acid, a variant nucleic acid includes single or multiple nucleotide deletions, additions, mutations and / or insertions, wherein: deletions include removing one or more nucleotides from a reference nucleic acid; additions include fusing one or more nucleotides (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 20, 30, 50 or more nucleotides) to the 5' and / or 3' end of the reference nucleic acid; mutations may include, but are not limited to, substitutions (e.g., at least one nucleotide is removed and another nucleotide is inserted in its place (e.g., transversions and conversions)); insertions include adding at least one nucleotide. The term "nucleic acid variant" as used herein includes naturally occurring variants and engineered variants. Therefore, "nucleic acid variants" as defined herein can be derived from, isolated from, related to, based on, or homologous to a reference nucleic acid sequence. "Nucleic acid variants" optionally have at least 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% sequence identity to a corresponding naturally occurring (wild-type) nucleic acid or a homolog, fragment or derivative thereof; preferably at least 70%, more preferably at least 80%, even more preferably at least 85%, even more preferably at least 90%, most preferably at least 95% or even 97% sequence identity. It will be understood that, with respect to nucleic acid molecules, the term "variant" includes degenerate nucleic acid sequences, wherein a degenerate nucleic acid sequence according to the present invention is a nucleic acid that differs from a reference nucleic acid in codon sequence due to the degeneracy of the genetic code.
[0068] In some embodiments, the nucleic acid variant is a variant of the 5'-UTR, a variant of the 3'-UTR, or a variant of ployA. In some embodiments, the mutation introduced into the nucleic acid variant can prevent the nucleic acid variant from being recognized by nucleases and cleaved, avoid binding to microRNA, or avoid forming complex secondary structures such as hairpin structures or G-quadruplexes. For example, the nucleic acid variant is a variant of the 3'-UTR of the ALB gene (GenBank accession number NM_000477.7), in which one "A" in the 3'-UTR of the ALB gene is mutated to a "C" to avoid being recognized by nucleases and cleaved.
[0069] As used herein, the term "% identity" or "% identity" refers to the percentage of identical nucleotides or amino acids in an optimal alignment between the sequences to be compared. The differences between the two sequences can be distributed over local regions (segments) or over the entire length of the sequences to be compared. The identity between the two sequences is usually determined after optimal alignment of a segment or "comparison window." Optimal alignment can be performed manually or with the aid of algorithms known in the art. Algorithms known in the art include, but are not limited to, the local homology algorithm described by Smith and Waterman, 1981, Ads App. Math. 2, 482 and Neddleman and Wunsch, 1970, J. Mol. Biol. 48, 443, the similarity search method described by Pearson and Lipman, 1988, Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA 88, 2444, or the similarity search method described by computer programs such as GAP, BESTFIT, FASTA, BLAST P, BLAST N, and TFASTA in the Wisconsin Genetics Software Package, Genetics Computer Group, 575 Science Drive, Madison, Wis. For example, the percent identity of two sequences can be determined using the publicly available BLASTN or BLASTP algorithms available on the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) website.
[0070] "% identity" or "% homology" can be obtained by determining the number of identical positions corresponding to the sequences to be compared, dividing this number by the number of positions compared (e.g., the number of positions in the reference sequence), and multiplying this result by 100 to obtain % identity. In some embodiments, the degree of identity is given for a region of at least about 50%, at least about 55%, at least about 60%, at least about 65%, at least about 70%, at least about 75%, at least about 80%, at least about 85%, at least about 90%, at least about 95%, or about 100%. In some embodiments, the degree of identity is given for the entire length of the reference sequence. Alignment for determining sequence identity can be performed using tools known in the art, preferably utilizing optimal sequence alignment, e.g., utilizing Align, utilizing standard settings, preferably EMBOSS::needle, Matrix:Blosum62, Gap Open 10.0, Gap Extend 0.5.
[0071] Preferably, a fragment or variant of a specific nucleic acid or a nucleic acid having a specific degree of identity with a specific nucleic acid preferably has at least one functional property of the specific nucleic acid and is preferably functionally equivalent to the specific nucleic acid, e.g. a nucleic acid that exhibits properties that are the same or similar to those of the specific nucleic acid.
[0072] As used herein, "nucleotide" includes deoxyribonucleotides, deoxyribonucleotides, deoxyribonucleotide derivatives, and ribonucleotide derivatives. As used herein, "ribonucleotide" is a constituent substance of ribonucleic acid (RNA), consisting of a base molecule, a pentose molecule, and a phosphate molecule. It refers to a nucleotide with a hydroxyl group at the 2' position of the β-D-ribofuranosyl group. "Deoxyribonucleotide" is a constituent substance of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), also consisting of a base molecule, a pentose molecule, and a phosphate molecule. It refers to a nucleotide in which the hydroxyl group at the 2' position of the β-D-ribofuranosyl group is replaced by hydrogen. It is the main chemical component of chromosomes.
[0073] "Nucleotides" are generally referred to by single letters representing the bases therein: "A" or "A nucleotide" refers to adenine deoxyribonucleotide or adenine ribonucleotide containing adenine, "C" or "C nucleotide" refers to cytosine deoxyribonucleotide or cytosine ribonucleotide containing cytosine, "G" or "G nucleotide" refers to guanine deoxyribonucleotide or guanine ribonucleotide containing guanine, "U" or "U nucleotide" refers to uracil ribonucleotide containing uracil, and "T" or "T nucleotide" refers to thymine deoxyribonucleotide containing thymine.
[0074] As used herein, the term "nucleic acid" generally refers to a polymer comprising deoxyribonucleotides (deoxyribonucleic acid, referred to as DNA) or a polymer comprising ribonucleotides (ribonucleic acid, referred to as RNA) or any compound of a combination thereof. In addition, nucleic acids herein also include derivatives of nucleic acids. The term "derivatives of nucleic acids" includes chemical derivatization of nucleic acids on the bases, sugars or phosphates of the nucleotides, as well as nucleic acids containing non-natural nucleotides and nucleotide analogs. In addition, herein, nucleic acids can be in the form of single-stranded or double-stranded linear or covalently closed circular molecules.
[0075] "Polynucleotide sequence," "nucleic acid sequence," and "nucleotide sequence" are used interchangeably to refer to the order of nucleotides in a polynucleotide. Those skilled in the art will understand that a DNA coding strand (sense strand) and the RNA it encodes can be considered to have the same nucleotide sequence, with deoxythymidylate in the DNA coding strand sequence corresponding to uridine in the RNA sequence it encodes. DNA-encoded RNA refers to the RNA corresponding to the DNA, i.e., a polynucleotide in which all T nucleotides in the DNA are replaced with U nucleotides.
[0076] The polynucleotide may comprise one or more segments (nucleic acid fragments) (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 segments). For example, the polynucleotide may comprise a segment encoding a polypeptide of interest (e.g., a polypeptide and polypeptide antigen described herein). In a specific embodiment, the polynucleotide may comprise a segment encoding a polypeptide of interest and a regulatory segment (including but not limited to a segment for transcriptional regulation and translational regulation). In one embodiment, the regulatory segment comprises a polynucleotide corresponding to one or more of the following regulatory elements: a promoter, a 5' untranslated region (5'-UTR), a 3' untranslated region (3'-UTR), and a poly(A) tail.
[0077] The term "promoter" refers to a polynucleotide located upstream of the 5' end of the coding region of a gene. It contains conserved sequences required for specific binding of RNA polymerase and initiation of transcription, activating RNA polymerase, enabling accurate binding of RNA polymerase to the template DNA, and providing specificity for transcription initiation. Promoters can be derived from viruses, bacteria, fungi, plants, insects, and animals. Representative examples of promoters include the bacteriophage T7 promoter, the bacteriophage T3 promoter, the SP6 promoter, the lac operator promoter, the tac promoter, the SV40 late promoter, the SV40 early promoter, the RSV-LTR promoter, the CMV IE promoter, the SV40 early promoter, or the SV 40 late promoter and the CMV IE promoter. As used herein, the term "5' untranslated region" or "5'-UTR" refers to an RNA sequence located upstream of the coding sequence in an mRNA that is not translated into protein. The 5'-UTR in a gene typically begins at the transcription start site and ends at the nucleotide upstream of the translation start codon of the coding sequence. The 5'-UTR may contain elements that control gene expression, such as ribosome binding sites, 5'-terminal oligopyrimidine tracts, and translation initiation signals such as Kozak sequences. mRNA can be post-transcriptionally modified by adding a 5' cap. Therefore, the 5'-UTR in mature mRNA can also refer to the RNA sequence between the 5' cap and the start codon. As used herein, the term "3' untranslated region" or "3'-UTR" can be a portion of mRNA that is located downstream of the coding sequence and is not translated into protein. The 3'-UTR in mRNA is located between the stop codon and the poly(A) sequence of the coding sequence, for example, starting from the nucleotides downstream of the stop codon and ending at the nucleotides upstream of the poly(A) sequence.
[0078] As used herein, "5' or 3'-UTR derived from gene A" refers to the 5' or 3'-UTR of the mRNA of gene A. The 5' or 3'-UTR derived from gene A may be the entire 5' or 3'-UTR of the mRNA of gene A, or may be a partial 5' or 3'-UTR of the mRNA of gene A.
[0079] As used herein, the terms "poly(A) acid", "poly(A) sequence" and "poly(A) tail" are used interchangeably, and naturally occurring poly(A) sequences are typically composed of adenine ribonucleotides. According to the present invention, the term "modified poly(A) sequence" refers to a poly(A) sequence comprising nucleotides or nucleotide segments other than adenine ribonucleotides. The poly(A) sequence is typically located at the 3' end of the mRNA, such as the 3' end (downstream) of the 3'-UTR. As used herein, the term "5'-cap structure": the 5'-cap structure is typically located at the 5' end of the mature mRNA. In some embodiments, the 5'-cap structure is connected to the 5'-end of the mRNA via a 5'-5'-triphosphate bond. The 5'-cap structure is typically formed by modified (e.g., methylated) ribonucleotides (especially by guanine nucleotide derivatives). For example, m7GpppN (cap 0, or "cap0," is a cap structure formed by the 5'-phosphate group of the hnRNA reacting with the 5'-phosphate group of m7GTP under the action of guanylyltransferase to form a 5',5'-phosphodiester bond), where N is the terminal 5' nucleotide of the nucleic acid carrying the 5'-cap structure. In some embodiments, the 5'-cap structure includes, but is not limited to, cap 0, cap 1 (a cap structure formed by further methylating the 2'-OH group of the first nucleotide of the hnRNA based on cap 0, or "cap 1"), cap 2 (a cap structure formed by further methylating the 2'-OH group of the second nucleotide of the hnRNA based on cap 1, or "cap 2"), cap 4, cap 0 analogs, cap 1 analogs, cap 2 analogs, or cap 4 analogs.
[0080] As used herein, the term "expression" includes transcription and / or translation of a nucleotide sequence. Thus, expression can involve the production of transcripts and / or polypeptides. The term "transcription" refers to the process by which the genetic code in a DNA sequence is transcribed into RNA (transcript). The term "in vitro transcription" refers to the in vitro synthesis of RNA, particularly mRNA, in a cell-free system (e.g., in an appropriate cell extract) (see, e.g., Pardi N., Muramatsu H., Weissman D., Karikó K. (2013). In: Rabinovich P. (eds) Synthetic Messenger RNA and Cell Metabolism Modulation. Methods in Molecular Biology (Methods and Protocols), vol 969. Humana Press, Totowa, NJ.). A vector that can be used to produce a transcript is also referred to as a "transcription vector," which contains regulatory sequences required for transcription. The term "transcription" encompasses "in vitro transcription."
[0081] As used herein, the term "polypeptide" refers to a polymer comprising two or more amino acids covalently linked by peptide bonds. A "protein" may comprise one or more polypeptides, wherein the polypeptides interact with each other by covalent or non-covalent means.
[0082] As used herein, the term "host cell" refers to a cell for receiving, maintaining, replicating, expressing a polynucleotide or a vector. The term "host cell" includes prokaryotic cells (e.g., Escherichia coli) or eukaryotic cells (e.g., yeast cells and insect cells). For example, cells from humans, mice, hamsters, pigs, goats, primates. The cell can be derived from a variety of tissue types and includes primary cells and cell lines. Some specific examples include keratinocytes, peripheral blood leukocytes, bone marrow stem cells, and embryonic stem cells. In other embodiments, the host cell is an antigen presenting cell, particularly a dendritic cell, a monocyte, or a macrophage. The nucleic acid can be present in a host cell in a single copy or in several copies. In some embodiments, the host cell can be a cell expressing a polypeptide of the present invention therein.
[0083] As used herein, the term "recombinant" or "recombinant" means "produced by genetic engineering." Preferably, in the context of the present invention, a "recombinant material," such as a recombinant RNA molecule, is non-naturally occurring. As used herein, the term "naturally occurring" or "naturally occurring" refers to the fact that a material can be found in nature. For example, a peptide or nucleic acid that is present in an organism (including a virus) and can be isolated from a source in nature and has not been intentionally modified by man in an experiment is naturally occurring.
[0084] In the context of the present invention, the term "plasmid" generally refers to a circular DNA molecule, but the term can also encompass linearized DNA molecules. Specifically, the term "plasmid" also encompasses molecules obtained by, for example, digesting a circular plasmid with a restriction enzyme, thereby converting the circular plasmid molecule into a linear molecule and linearizing the circular plasmid. Plasmids can replicate, i.e., amplify the genetic information stored as chromosomal DNA in the cell, and can be used for cloning, i.e., for amplifying genetic information in bacterial cells. Preferably, the DNA plasmid is a medium copy or high copy plasmid, more preferably a high copy plasmid. Examples of such high copy plasmids include, for example, pUC and pTZ plasmids or any other plasmid (e.g., pMB1, pCoIE1) comprising a replication origin that supports high copies of the plasmid.
[0085] The terms "treat" and "treatment" and the like are used herein to generally mean obtaining a desired pharmacological and / or physiological effect. Thus, the treatment of the present invention may relate to the treatment of a disease state, but may also relate to prophylactic treatment in terms of completely or partially preventing a disease or its symptoms. Preferably, the term "treat" is understood to be therapeutic in terms of partially or completely curing a disease and / or attributing to the adverse effects and / or symptoms of the disease. Treatment may also be prophylactic or preventive treatment, i.e., measures taken to prevent a disease, e.g., to prevent the onset of infection and / or disease.
[0086] Herein, some elements of the present invention will be described. These elements are listed together with specific embodiments, however, it should be understood that they can be combined in any manner and in any number to produce additional embodiments. The different described examples and preferred embodiments should not be interpreted as limiting the present invention to only the embodiments explicitly described. This specification should be understood to support and include embodiments that combine the explicitly described embodiments with any number of disclosed and / or preferred elements. In addition, unless the context indicates otherwise, any permutation and combination of all described elements in the present invention should be deemed to be disclosed by the specification of the present invention. For example, if in one embodiment, the 5'-UTR of the recombinant nucleic acid molecule includes a polynucleotide with a sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1, and if in another embodiment, the 3'-UTR of the recombinant nucleic acid molecule includes a polynucleotide with a sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 22, then the following scheme is also an embodiment claimed in the present invention: the 5'-UTR of the recombinant nucleic acid molecule includes a polynucleotide with a sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1, and the 3'-UTR of the recombinant nucleic acid molecule includes a polynucleotide with a sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 22.

After fixing the 5'UTR sequence, 3UTR-NO6 and 3UTR-NO8 were respectively inserted between ApaI and KpnI of the plasmid containing 5UTR-NO54 to obtain a series of plasmids containing 5UTR-NO54 and one of the different 3'-UTRs.
[0441] 2. Using the plasmids from step 1, a series of mRNAs containing 5'UTR-NO54 and one of the different 3'UTRs were prepared with reference to Example 4, and then respective LNP-mRNA preparations were prepared. The steps for preparing the LNP-mRNA preparations included:

Six-week-old female Balb / c mice were used in this experiment; each group consisted of three mice. Each mouse received a tail vein injection of 12 μg of the LNP-mRNA formulation. After 12 hours, the mice were anesthetized by isoflurane inhalation and injected with 150 mg / kg of the luciferase substrate, D-luciferin. The animals were then placed in a supine position, and the luciferin signal distribution and intensity were observed using an IVIS in vivo imaging system.
[0454] The results of luciferase expression in mice using various LNP-mRNA formulations are shown in Figure 9 . The unit of average photon number in Figure 9 is p / s / cm 2 / sr. Control 2 in Figure 9 differed from the other groups only in that it lacked a 5'-UTR. The LNP-mRNA preparation method for Control 2 was described above. The results showed that compared to Control 2, mRNA containing 3UTR-NO3 and a 5'UTR selected from 5UTR-NO12, 5UTR-NO2, 5UTR-NO11, 5UTR-NO13, 5UTR-NO14, 5UTR-NO18, and 5UTR-NO29 achieved higher luciferase expression in mice.
