Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims priority to Chinese patent application number 202410177519.0, filed with the Patent Office of China on February 8, 2024, entitled “Targeting vector, preparation method and application, application of CD62L as a targeted immune cell”, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of biotechnology, and specifically provides the application of CD62L as a drug target for targeting immune cells and CAR drugs. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous advancement of molecular biology techniques, our understanding of the relationship between genes and diseases is deepening. Nucleic acid drugs, artificially synthesized DNA or RNA fragments with therapeutic potential, have attracted considerable attention due to their enormous potential for application in disease diagnosis and treatment. These drugs can act directly on pathogenic target genes or mRNAs, exerting therapeutic effects at the genetic level. Compared with traditional small molecule and antibody drugs, nucleic acid drugs are not limited by the druggability of their target proteins, can treat a wider range of diseases, and can regulate the expression of pathogenic genes at their root. Nucleic acid drugs also offer significant advantages such as high efficacy, low toxicity, and high specificity, and are expected to become the third largest type of drug after small molecule and antibody drugs.
[0003] However, nucleic acid drugs are easily degraded by nucleases in the body, and their large molecular weight and negative charge make them difficult to cross cell membranes to exert their effects. Therefore, finding safe and effective delivery systems for nucleic acid drugs is a critical bottleneck in their development. Currently, vectors capable of delivering nucleic acid drugs can be divided into viral and non-viral vectors. Viral vectors induce an immune response upon entry into the human body and are therefore less commonly used. Among non-viral vectors, nanoparticles and small molecule conjugates are the most commonly used. Compared with small molecule conjugates directly conjugated to nucleic acid drugs, nanoparticles can more effectively encapsulate nucleic acid drugs, preventing their rapid degradation by nucleases in the body and thereby increasing their circulation time. Nanoparticles encapsulate nucleic acids by adsorbing negatively charged nucleic acids onto positively charged cationic lipids. However, cationic lipids are highly cytotoxic, with the following mechanisms of action: ① cell atrophy, decreased mitotic activity, and cytoplasmic vacuolation; ② interaction with biological proteins such as protein kinase C, thereby disrupting their activity; and ③ activation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase and nuclear factor-κB transcription factors, triggering the secretion of various proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines. In addition, ionizable lipids are lipids containing positively charged ionizable amine groups. They are uncharged under physiological conditions (pH = 7.4), but are protonated and positively charged at lower pH values. Therefore, ionizable lipids can be used to partially or completely replace cationic lipids as the main component of nanoparticles, responsible for adsorbing nucleic acids. When nanoparticles containing ionizable lipids enter the lysosomes of biological cells, the ionizable lipids become positively charged lipids in the low pH environment (pH = 4.0-6.5) within the lysosomes. Although ionizable lipids reduce the cytotoxic and highly inflammatory effects of some permanently positively charged cationic lipids, their cytotoxicity and immunogenicity are still high. Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) based on cationic lipids and / or ionizable lipids are currently available clinically as nanoparticle nucleic acid drug delivery systems. Cationic lipids and / or ionizable lipids are the main components of LNPs and are responsible for the adsorption of nucleic acids. At the same time, the cytotoxicity and immunogenicity mediated by cationic lipids and / or ionizable lipids remain one of the important reasons for the high toxicity of LNPs.
[0004] Therefore, when using a delivery system to deliver negatively charged drugs (such as nucleic acid drugs, protein drugs, polypeptide drugs, small molecule drugs, etc.), nanoparticle delivery systems developed based on cationic lipids and / or ionizable lipids cannot fundamentally solve the toxicity problem of nanoparticle delivery systems. There is an urgent need for a liposome delivery system with higher safety.
[0005] In addition, CD8 is a dimeric co-receptor that enables CD8+T cells to recognize peptides presented by MHC class I proteins and is a surface marker protein for cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). CTLs can secrete various cytokines to participate in immune responses and have a lethal effect on certain antigenic substances such as viruses and tumor cells, forming an important line of defense for the body's antiviral and anti-tumor effects. A large number of adoptive cell therapies use CD8+T cells to exert anti-tumor effects, but repeated antigen stimulation often causes T cell exhaustion and loss of anti-tumor ability, and even has a lifespan of only a few days, resulting in poor practical application results. In order to develop an efficient and safe cancer treatment, it is urgent to find targets that can exert long-term anti-tumor effects of immune cells.
[0006] CD62L, also known as L-selectin, is a cell adhesion molecule present on white blood cells, including lymphocytes, neutrophils, monocytes, eosinophils, and hematopoietic progenitor cells. CD62L plays a crucial role in guiding lymphocyte homing to lymphoid tissues and in directing white blood cells and immune cells containing endogenous opioid peptides to sites of infection and inflammation. In the human body, naive T cells highly express CD62L and possess excellent differentiation potential. Upon antigen stimulation, they can activate, proliferate, and differentiate into effector T cells, exerting immune elimination effects. CD62L is widely expressed on various white blood cells, including lymphocytes, neutrophils, monocytes, eosinophils, and hematopoietic progenitor cells. It is highly expressed on 60-70% of T cells. These naive T cells possess strong proliferative capacity and long survival. Upon antigen activation, in addition to differentiating into CTLs, some can also differentiate into CD62L+ memory T cells, maintaining long-term specific immune function. Currently, no one has used CD62L as a target for the anti-tumor effects of immune cells.
[0007] In view of this, this application is hereby filed. Summary of the Invention

[0329] For ease of explanation, specific terms described in this specification, the embodiments and the appended claims are collectively described here. Unless otherwise defined in this specification, the meanings of the scientific and technical terms used herein are the same as those understood and used by those skilled in the art. In addition, unless the context requires otherwise, it should be understood that singular terms should include the same plural forms, and plural terms should include the singular. Specifically, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the terms "at least one" and "one or more" used herein and in the appended claims include one, two, three or more. In this application, references to "multiple", "multiple", "multiple times", "multiple" and the like, unless otherwise specified, refer to quantities greater than 2 or equal to 2. For example, "one or more" means one or greater than or equal to two.
[0330] In this application, “further”, “further”, “particularly”, etc. are used for descriptive purposes to indicate differences in content, but should not be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0331] In this application, the terms "preferably," "preferred," and "preferred" are optional, meaning they refer to either option being selected from the two parallel options of "with" or "without." If multiple "preferably" items appear in a technical solution, unless otherwise specified and there are no contradictions or mutual constraints, each "preferably" item is independent of the others.
[0332] Although the numerical ranges and parameters used to define the broader scope of this application are approximate, the numerical values of the specific examples are presented herein as precisely as possible. However, any numerical value inherently and inevitably contains standard deviations due to individual testing methods. As used herein, "about" generally means that the actual value is within plus or minus 10%, 5%, 1%, or 0.5% of a particular value or range. Alternatively, the term "about" means that the actual value falls within an acceptable standard error of the mean, as determined by one skilled in the art. Except in the experimental examples, or unless otherwise expressly indicated, all ranges, amounts, values, and percentages used herein (e.g., to describe material amounts, time periods, temperatures, operating conditions, quantitative ratios, and the like) are to be understood as modified by the word "about." Therefore, unless otherwise indicated, the numerical parameters disclosed in this specification and the accompanying claims are approximate and are subject to change as needed. At a minimum, these numerical parameters should be understood to include the number of significant digits indicated and to apply normal rounding.
[0333] The term "lipid" refers to a group of organic compounds that include, but are not limited to, lipids of fatty acids. They are generally divided into three categories: "simple lipids," "compound lipids," and "derivative lipids." "Simple lipids" include fats and oils, as well as waxes; "compound lipids" include phospholipids and glycolipids; and "derivative lipids" include steroids.
[0334] The term "ionizable lipid" refers to a lipid containing a positively charged ionizable amine group that can be protonated to become positively charged at lower pH values but is uncharged at physiological pH conditions.
[0335] The term "neutral lipid" refers to any of a number of lipid species that exist in an uncharged or neutral zwitterionic form at a selected pH. At physiological pH, such lipids include, for example, diacylphosphatidylcholine, diacylphosphatidylethanolamine, ceramide, sphingomyelin, cephalin, cholesterol, cerebrosides, and diacylglycerol.
[0336] The term "anionic lipid" refers to any lipid that is negatively charged at physiological pH. These lipids include, but are not limited to, phosphatidylglycerol, cardiolipin, diacylphosphatidylserine, diacylphosphatidic acid, N-lauroylphosphatidylethanolamine, N-succinylphosphatidylethanolamine, N-glutarylphosphatidylethanolamine, lysylphosphatidylglycerol, palmitoyloleoylphosphatidylglycerol (POPG), and other anionic groups attached to neutral lipids.
[0337] The term "cationic lipid" refers to any of a number of lipid species that carry a net positive charge at a selected pH, such as physiological pH. These lipids include, but are not limited to, N,N-dioleyl-N,N-dimethylammonium chloride ("DODAC"); N-(2,3-dioleyloxy)propyl)-N,N,N-trimethylammonium chloride ("DOTMA"); N,N-distearyl-N,N-dimethylammonium bromide ("DDAB"); N-(2,3-dioleyloxy)propyl)-N,N,N-trimethylammonium chloride ("DOTAP"); 3-(N-(N',N'-dimethylaminoethane)carbamoyl)cholesterol ("DC-Chol") and N-(1,2-dimyristyloxyprop-3-yl)-N,N-dimethyl-N-hydroxyethylammonium bromide ("DMRIE"). The following lipids are cationic and have a positive charge below physiological pH: DODAP, DODMA, DMDMA, etc.
[0338] The phrase "phospholipid molecule portion" herein refers to the structure originally belonging to the phospholipid molecule after the phospholipid molecule reacts with other substances.
[0339] The term "phospholipid" refers to lipids containing phosphate groups. These complex lipids are also known as phospholipids or phospholipids. Phospholipids are the primary components of biological membranes and are divided into two main groups: glycerophospholipids and sphingomyelins, composed of glycerol and sphingosine, respectively. Phospholipids are amphiphilic molecules, with a hydrophilic, nitrogen- or phosphorus-containing head at one end and a long, hydrophobic (lipophilic) hydrocarbon chain at the other. Because of this, phospholipid molecules are positioned close together at their hydrophilic and hydrophobic ends, often forming the phospholipid bilayer, the structure of the cell membrane, along with other molecules such as proteins, glycolipids, and cholesterol.
[0340] The phrase "part of a linker molecule" as used herein refers to a structure that originally belongs to the linker molecule after the linker molecule reacts with other substances.
[0341] The phrase "metal ion portion" herein refers to the structure originally belonging to the metal ion after the metal ion reacts with other substances.
[0342] The phrase "phospholipid complex" herein refers to a complex formed by reacting and linking the above-mentioned phospholipid molecule portion having a phosphate group with the above-mentioned linker molecule portion.
[0343] The phrase "metal-phospholipid complex" herein refers to a complex formed by the reaction of the above-mentioned phospholipid molecule portion having a phosphate group, the above-mentioned linker molecule portion, and the above-mentioned metal ion portion, wherein the above-mentioned phospholipid molecule portion is connected to the above-mentioned linker molecule portion, and the above-mentioned linker portion is connected to the above-mentioned metal ion portion through a coordination bond, and the metal-phospholipid complex is neither a cationic lipid nor an ionizable lipid.
[0344] The term "drug-metal-phospholipid complex particles" refers to drug-loaded metal-phospholipid complex particles, where the drug is connected to the metal-phospholipid complex by encapsulation, loading, chemical bonds or non-chemical bonds.
[0345] Herein, the "polyphenol molecule portion" refers to the structure originally belonging to the polyphenol molecule after the polyphenol molecule reacts with other substances.
[0346] The phrase "metal-polyphenol complex" herein is composed of the reaction of the polyphenol molecule portion and the metal ion portion, and the polyphenol molecule portion and the metal ion portion are connected via a coordination bond.
[0347] The term "drug-metal-polyphenol complex particles" refers to metal-polyphenol complex particles that have been drug-loaded, and the drug and the metal-polyphenol complex are connected by encapsulation, loading, chemical bonds or non-chemical bonds.
[0348] The term "CD8" refers to a dimeric co-receptor that enables T cells to recognize peptides presented by class I proteins of the histocompatibility complex and is a surface marker protein of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). One way in which CD8+ T cells initiate apoptosis is through the secretion of perforins and granzymes, two types of cytotoxic proteins. Perforins are cytolytic proteins that form pores in the cell membrane of target cells. CTLs use these pores to direct the release of granzymes, a class of serine proteases that continue apoptosis within the cytoplasm. These proteases shut down target cells by cleaving viral and cellular proteins involved in normal cell maintenance. The targeted cells undergoing apoptosis are then cleared by nearby phagocytes. In addition to directed apoptosis, CD8+ T cells can also kill target cells indirectly by releasing cytokines such as TNF-α.
[0349] The term "CD62L," also known as L-selectin, refers to a family of genes that form leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion molecules. Its extracellular domain contains a C-type lectin-like domain, an EGF-like domain, and two CCP domains at the N-terminus. L-selectin is constitutively expressed by leukocytes and mediates binding to oligosaccharide ligands expressed by vascular endothelial cells. CD62L is a family of vascular adhesion molecules with close structural and functional relationships. Its primary function is to promote the rolling behavior of leukocytes along endothelial cells prior to firm adhesion and subsequent migration. They differ from other adhesion molecules primarily because their adhesive properties are limited to leukocyte-platelet-endothelial interactions within the vascular system and, secondly, because unlike other adhesion molecules, selectins form protein-protein bonds. Selectins possess a protein-like lectin group that binds to carbohydrate ligands, thereby forming protein-carbohydrate bonds. In the peripheral blood of healthy individuals, approximately 50% of peripheral blood lymphocytes, 40%-80% of monocytes, 95% of neutrophils, most B cells and primitive T cells express CD62L on their surface.
[0350] The term "targeting vector" refers to a system with specific targeting and drug loading capabilities. Targeting vectors have the functions of improving the metabolic kinetics of drugs in the body, increasing the targeted accumulation of drugs to specific treatment sites or even specific cell types, improving efficacy and reducing toxic side effects. It can be a nanoparticle or a composite macromolecule. In this application, the targeting vector can be used to encapsulate CAR nucleic acid drugs,
[0351] The term "lipid delivery system" refers to a delivery technology for small or large molecules. It primarily utilizes the properties of lipids (such as phospholipids) to encapsulate and transport small or large molecules, effectively delivering them to target cells or tissues, thereby improving their bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy.
[0352] The term "exosomes" refers to a nanoscale vesicle secreted by cells, which contains bioactive substances such as proteins and nucleic acids (such as mRNA and miRNA).
[0353] The term "pseudovirus" refers to an artificially constructed virus-like particle. It typically combines key viral structures (such as envelope proteins) with non-viral nucleic acids (such as reporter genes). While it lacks the ability to replicate like a full virus, it can mimic some of the virus's biological behaviors, such as cell entry. This allows for applications in a wide range of fields, including studying viral infection mechanisms, vaccine development, and drug screening.
[0354] The term "small molecule" refers to low-molecular-weight substances that can regulate physiological processes in organisms. These small molecules can be endogenous, such as hormones produced by metabolic processes in the body (e.g., adrenaline), or exogenous, such as small drug molecules extracted from plants (e.g., artemisinin). They can exert their effects by interacting with biological macromolecules (e.g., proteins, nucleic acids), participating in processes such as signal transduction and enzyme inhibition or activation.
[0355] The term "phospholipid transport system" refers to a transport system constructed using phospholipid components, which is mainly used as a mechanism to transport various substances (such as drugs, nutrients, biomolecules, etc.) from one location to another.
[0356] The term "LNP" refers to a nanoscale colloidal delivery system formed by self-assembly of components such as cationic lipids or ionizable lipids, auxiliary lipids, cholesterol and pegylated lipids; among them, cationic lipids play a key role in mediating the encapsulation and cellular uptake of nucleic acids, and the positive charge carried by cationic lipids or ionizable lipids after ionization can bind to negatively charged nucleic acids (such as mRNA, siRNA, ASO, etc.) through electrostatic interaction, thereby effectively protecting the nucleic acids and promoting their delivery to target cells.
[0357] The term "aptamer" or "aptamer" is derived from the Latin word "aptus" and is a single-stranded oligonucleotide (RNA) or single-stranded oligodeoxynucleotide (DNA) composed of 20-60 bases. "Aptamer" is used to refer to a polymeric form of nucleotides of any length, ribonucleotides or deoxyribonucleotides. Therefore, the term includes but is not limited to single-stranded, double-stranded or multi-stranded DNA or RNA, DNA genome, cDNA, DNA-RNA hybrids, or polymers containing purine and pyrimidine bases or other natural, chemically or biochemically modified, non-natural or derived nucleotide bases. It can specifically bind to a variety of target molecules such as proteins, small molecules, ions and cells. Aptamers are obtained by screening through the SELEX technology, which can be used to screen out nucleic acid aptamers (Aptamers) that specifically bind to the target with high affinity from a random single-stranded nucleic acid sequence library.
[0358] The term "GalNAc" as used herein refers to a partial structure containing N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (GalNAc) that is capable of binding to the asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) on hepatocytes of the liver. GalNAc contains a phosphate group or a phosphorothioate group and is used to bind a linear or branched linker structure to an oligonucleotide. Such a structure containing a phosphate group or a phosphorothioate group for binding may be referred to as "GalNAc." Unless otherwise specified, the number of GalNAc groups contained in a GalNAc is not limited and may be those known and disclosed in this specification. The structure of GalNAc may be modified as long as the ability to bind to ASGPR is maintained. In addition, GalNAc with a protecting group introduced during the preparation process is also included. The term "GalNAc" has its conventional scientific meaning and refers herein to N-acetylgalactosamine and its IUPAC name: 2-(acetylamino)-2-deoxy-D-galactose.
[0359] The term "P19" refers to a nucleic acid sequence that can specifically recognize pancreatic cancer cells.
[0360] The term "targeted drug" (also known as targeted preparation) refers to a drug or its preparation that is endowed with targeting ability.
[0361] The term "transmembrane domain" is a membrane-spanning sequence of a CAR that can be designed to include a transmembrane domain that connects the antigen binding domain of the CAR to the intracellular domain. The transmembrane domain can be any protein structure that is thermodynamically stable in the membrane, typically an alpha helix containing several hydrophobic residues.
[0362] The term "signaling domain" refers to a sequence encoding a signal peptide or a sequence encoding a substance that plays the same role as a signal peptide. "Signaling domain" refers to a functional part of a protein that plays a role by transmitting information within the cell, thereby regulating cell activity via a determined signaling pathway by producing a second messenger or by responding to such a messenger as an effector. The signal peptide allows the nascent protein to be directed to the endoplasmic reticulum and then to the surface of the cell where it is expressed when the CAR is expressed in a cell such as a T cell. The core of the signal peptide can contain a long stretch of hydrophobic amino acids that have a tendency to form a single α-helix.
[0363] The term "antigen binding domain" generally refers to a domain that can specifically bind to an antigen, a chimeric antigen receptor domain or fragment that has the ability to specifically bind to a target antigen. The antigen binding domain is the antigen-recognizing portion of CAR. Many antigen binding domains are known in the art, including those based on the antigen binding sites of antibodies, antibody mimics, and T cell receptors. For example, the antigen binding domain may include: a single-chain variable fragment (scFv) derived from a monoclonal antibody; a natural ligand of a target antigen; a peptide with sufficient affinity for the target; a single domain antibody; an artificial single binder such as Darpin (designed ankyrin repeat protein); or a single chain derived from a T cell receptor.
[0364] The term "co-stimulatory signal transduction domain" refers to the intracellular signal transduction domain from co-stimulatory protein receptors such as CD28, 41BB and ICOS that can enhance T cell activation through T cell receptors. "Co-stimulatory signal transduction domain" refers to the domain in the CAR molecule that is responsible for providing a second activation signal to T cells, mainly including the CD28 receptor family (CD28, ICOS) or the tumor necrosis factor receptor family (4-1BB, OX40, CD27). The main function of the co-stimulatory domain is to provide a second activation signal, synergistically stimulate molecules and activate intracellular signals, so that T cells continue to proliferate and release cytokines, thereby improving the anti-tumor ability of T cells.
[0365] The term "antigen-binding domain-transmembrane domain linking region" refers to the region responsible for connecting the antigen-binding domain and the transmembrane domain. A spacer domain, such as an oligopeptide or polypeptide that functions to connect the transmembrane domain to the extracellular domain or cytoplasmic domain in the polypeptide chain, may be incorporated between the extracellular domain and the transmembrane domain of the chimeric membrane protein, or between the cytoplasmic domain and the transmembrane domain of the chimeric membrane protein. The spacer domain may comprise up to 300 amino acids, preferably 10 to 100 amino acids, and most preferably 25 to 50 amino acids.
[0366] The term "chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)" refers to an engineered receptor that is grafted onto immune effector cells with any specificity. CAR is modularly composed of four main domains: at the extracellular end is a single-chain variable region (scFv) antibody for target recognition, a spacer region connected to the transmembrane domain, and an intracellular signaling domain, with or without a connected co-stimulatory domain. Engagement of cognate antigens on the surface of target cells initiates the activation of CAR-engineered immune cells, leading to a lasting immune cell response. Each CAR domain has a unique function and affects redirected immune cell activation; for each specific application, CAR design requires some adjustments to provide optimized targeting and immune cell activation. It cleverly combines antigen recognition with intracellular activation elements, breaking the limitations of immune cell recognition and allowing immune cells to accurately target tumor cells. CAR molecules consist of three main parts: the extracellular domain, the transmembrane domain, and the intracellular domain. The antigen-binding domain in the extracellular domain is usually a single-chain fragment (scFv) molecule derived from an antibody. It is mainly composed of the variable light chain (VL) and variable heavy chain (VH) of the antibody, connected by the linker region in the middle, and then connected to the transmembrane domain through the hinge region, which is responsible for antigen recognition. The main function of the transmembrane domain is to anchor the CAR molecule to the cell membrane, which plays an important role in the stability of CAR molecule expression. The intracellular domain includes the costimulatory domain and the signal transduction domain, which work together to fully activate T cells.
[0367] The term "T Cell Receptor (T Cell Receptor, TCR)" is a complex of membrane proteins that participate in the activation of T cells in response to antigen presentation. It is composed of variable region (V region) and constant region (C region) domains, wherein the variable regions of the α chain and the β chain constitute the antigen recognition unit, and each variable region contains 3 complementary determining regions (CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3). When TCR recognizes a ligand, the less diverse CDR1 and CDR2 contact the α helix on both sides of the pMHC, while CDR3 contacts the central peptide. CDR3 is the most critical sequence that determines the specificity of TCR recognition of antigens. The stimulation of TCR is triggered by the major histocompatibility complex molecule (MHC) on the antigen presenting cell, which presents the antigen peptide to the T cell and binds to the TCR complex to induce a series of intracellular signal transduction cascades.
[0368] The term "targeted immune cell drugs" refers to a class of drugs specifically designed to act on immune cells. These drugs include: gene editing drugs (such as Crisp cas9, CRISPR-Cas, etc.), antibody drugs (such as monoclonal antibodies, bispecific antibodies), immune bridging therapy drugs (such as TCE (T-cell Engager), ADC (Antibody-Drug Conjugate), APDC (Antibody-Peptide-Drug Conjugate), etc.), targeted therapy drugs (including chemotherapy or radiotherapy) (such as ADC (Antibody-Drug Conjugate), APDC (Antibody-Peptide-Drug Conjugate), etc.), aptamer drugs (such as bispecific aptamers), and cell therapy drugs (such as CAR-T (Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell), TCR-T (T-cell Receptor Engineered T-cell), etc.). These drugs can accurately identify specific targets on the surface or inside immune cells, and intervene in the body's immune response by genetically modifying immune cells or regulating their functions, such as activating, inhibiting or changing their differentiation state, thereby treating diseases.
[0369] The term "chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) drug" refers to a new type of therapeutic drug that works by genetically modifying target cells in vivo or in vitro to express CAR. CAR is a synthetic receptor whose structure includes a single-chain antibody variable region (scFv) that can recognize tumor antigens, a transmembrane region, and an intracellular signal transduction region. Generally, CAR drugs are obtained by genetically engineering various immune cells (such as T cells, macrophages, myeloid cells, NK cells, etc.) to obtain CAR-immune cells (such as CAR-T cells, CAR-macrophages, CAR-myeloid cells, CAR-NK cells, etc.) to exert their therapeutic effects.
[0370] The term "in situ CAR" refers to the in vivo generation of CAR-expressing cells based on the use of mRNA technology to recode the T cell receptor (CCR) using a CAR nucleic acid sequence encoded by mRNA. The CAR comprises an antigenic domain, a transmembrane domain, a co-stimulatory signaling region, and a signaling domain. The term "in situ CAR" refers to the in vivo conversion of T cells into CAR-T cells using mRNA or a combination of mRNAs encoding the CAR gene as the antigen. Compared to traditional in vitro CAR-T, the production process is greatly simplified and the cost is significantly reduced. Using messenger RNA as a carrier carrying the chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), the CCR is transferred into the patient's T cells, where it is activated and equipped with a CAR (chimeric antigen receptor for tumor) targeting and navigation device, transforming these ordinary "soldiers" into "super soldiers," or CAR-T cells. These cells utilize their CAR "targeting and navigation device" to specifically identify tumor cells in the body and, through immune action, release a large number of multiple effector factors that effectively kill tumor cells, thereby achieving the goal of treating malignant tumors.
[0371] The term "lipid vesicle" refers to any lipid composition that can be used to deliver a compound, including, but not limited to, liposomes, in which an aqueous volume is encapsulated by an amphiphilic lipid bilayer; or in which lipids encapsulate an interior containing macromolecular components, such as mRNA, with a reduced aqueous interior; or lipid aggregates or micelles, in which the encapsulated components are contained in a relatively chaotic lipid mixture. Herein, metal-phospholipid complex particles (MPPs) or metal-polyphenol complex particles (MPNPs) are "lipid vesicles," and drugs, such as nucleic acid mRNA, are encapsulated in MPPs or MPNPs as encapsulated components, and the "encapsulation" can be full encapsulation and / or partial encapsulation.
[0372] The term "hydrophobic lipid" refers to a compound having a non-polar group, including, but not limited to, long-chain saturated and unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon groups, and these groups are optionally substituted with one or more aromatic, alicyclic or heterocyclic groups. Suitable examples include, but are not limited to, diacylglycerols, dialkylglycerols, NN-dialkylamino, 1,2-diacyloxy-3-aminopropane and 1,2-dialkyl-3-aminopropane.
[0373] The term "non-cationic lipid or non-ionizable lipid" refers to a lipid that is neither a cationic lipid nor a non-ionizable lipid, and may be, for example, an anionic lipid or a neutral lipid.
[0374] Among the components of the metal-phospholipid complex particles, the "non-cationic lipids or non-ionizable lipids other than the metal-phospholipid complex and the conjugated lipids that inhibit particle aggregation" in (iii) means that the non-cationic lipids or non-ionizable lipids in (iii) are the lipids remaining in the metal-phospholipid complex particles after excluding the metal-phospholipid complex and the conjugated lipids that inhibit particle aggregation.
[0375] Among the components of the metal-polyphenol complex particles, the "non-cationic lipids or non-ionizable lipids other than the conjugated lipids that inhibit particle aggregation" in (iii) means that the non-cationic lipids or non-ionizable lipids in (iii) are the lipids remaining in the metal-polyphenol complex particles after excluding the conjugated lipids that inhibit particle aggregation.
[0376] The term "fusogenicity" refers to the ability of a liposome, drug-lipid particle, targeted drug or other drug delivery system to fuse with a cell membrane. The membrane may be a plasma membrane or a membrane surrounding a cell organelle, such as an endosome, nucleus, or the like.
[0377] In the metal-phospholipid complex particles, non-cationic lipids or non-ionizable lipids other than the metal-phospholipid complex and the conjugated lipids that inhibit particle aggregation are primarily present as vesicle-forming lipids, and the term "vesicle-forming lipid" is intended to include any amphiphilic lipid having a hydrophobic portion and a polar head group and which can spontaneously form bilayer vesicles in water, exemplified by most phospholipids.
[0378] In the metal-polyphenol complex particles, non-cationic lipids or non-ionizable lipids other than the conjugated lipids that inhibit particle aggregation are mainly present as vesicle-forming lipids. The term "vesicle-forming lipid" is intended to include any amphiphilic lipid having a hydrophobic part and a polar head group and which can spontaneously form bilayer vesicles in water, exemplified by most phospholipids.
[0379] In the metal-phospholipid complex particles or metal-polyphenol complex particles, the conjugated lipid that inhibits particle aggregation is primarily present as a vesicle-adopting lipid. The term "vesicle-adopting lipid" is intended to include any amphiphilic lipid that stably associates with the lipid bilayer, as well as other amphiphilic lipids whose hydrophobic portion contacts the inner, hydrophobic region of the bilayer membrane and whose polar head group portion faces the outer, polar surface of the membrane. Vesicle-adopting lipids include lipids that are capable of independently adapting to adopt a non-lamellar phase and are also capable of adopting a bilayer structure in the presence of a bilayer-stabilizing component. Conjugated lipids that inhibit particle aggregation include, but are not limited to, polyamide oligomers (e.g., ATTA-lipid derivatives), peptides, proteins, detergents, lipid derivatives, PEG-lipid derivatives such as PEG conjugated to dialkoxypropyl groups, PEG conjugated to diacylglycerols, PEG conjugated to phosphatidylethanolamine, and PEG conjugated to ceramide (see, U.S. Patent No. 5,885,613, incorporated herein by reference).
[0380] The term "amphiphilic lipid" refers to any suitable material, wherein the hydrophobic portion of the lipid material is oriented toward the hydrophobic phase, while the hydrophilic portion is oriented toward the aqueous phase. Amphiphilic lipids are typically the main components of lipid vesicles. The hydrophilic nature comes from the presence of polar or charged groups such as carbohydrates, phosphates, carboxyls, sulfates, aminos, sulfhydryls, nitros, hydroxyls, and other similar groups. Hydrophobicity can be imparted by the inclusion of non-polar groups, including, but not limited to, long-chain saturated and unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon groups and such groups substituted by one or more aromatic, alicyclic, or heterocyclic groups. Examples of amphiphilic compounds include, but are not limited to, phospholipids, amino lipids, and sphingolipids. The representative examples of phospholipid include, but are not limited to, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidic acid, palmitoyloleoylphosphatidylcholine, lysophosphatidylcholine, lysophosphatidylethanolamine, dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine, dioleoylphosphatidylcholine, distearoylphosphatidylcholine or dilinoleoylphosphatidylcholine. Other compounds lacking phosphorus are also in the group that is called as amphipathic lipid such as sphingomyelin, sphingosylglycolipid family, diacylglycerol and beta-acyloxy acid. In addition, above-mentioned amphipathic lipid can be mixed with other lipid, and this lipid comprises triglyceride and sterol.

Other suitable linkers are well known in the art.
[0388] Phosphatidylethanolamine can be conjugated to polyethylene glycol to form a bilayer stabilizing component as a conjugated lipid that inhibits particle aggregation in the present application. The phosphatidylethanolamine has various acyl chain groups with different chain lengths and degrees of saturation. These phosphatidylethanolamines are commercially available or can be isolated or synthesized using conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art. Phosphatidylethanolamines containing saturated or unsaturated fatty acids are preferred, having a carbon chain length in the range of C10-C20. Phosphatidylethanolamines with mono- or di-unsaturated fatty acids and mixtures of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids can also be used.

[0389] Like phosphatidylethanolamine, ceramide can be coupled with polyethylene glycol to form a bilayer stabilizing component as a conjugated lipid to inhibit particle aggregation in the present application. The ceramide has multiple acyl chain groups with different chain lengths and degrees of saturation. It should be clear to those skilled in the art that, compared to phosphatidylethanolamine, ceramide has only one acyl group, which can be easily varied according to its chain length and degree of saturation. Ceramides suitable for use in accordance with the present application are commercially available. In addition, ceramides can be isolated, for example, from eggs and brain using well-known separation techniques, or synthesized using the methods and techniques disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,820,873, which is incorporated herein by reference. Using the synthetic pathways proposed in the aforementioned applications, ceramides with saturated or unsaturated fatty acids can be prepared, wherein the fatty acids have carbon chain lengths ranging from C2 to C31.
[0390] The term "ATTA" or "polyamide" refers to, but is not limited to, compounds disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 6,320,017 and 6,586,559, both of which are incorporated herein by reference. These compounds include compounds having the following formula 57:

[0403] The term "nucleic acid" refers to a polymer that exists in a single or double-stranded form and comprises at least two deoxynucleotides or nucleotides. Unless specifically limited, the term encompasses nucleic acids comprising known analogs of natural nucleotides that have binding properties similar to reference nucleic acids and are metabolized in a manner similar to naturally occurring nucleotides. Unless otherwise noted, specific nucleic acid sequences also implicitly encompass variants (e.g., degenerate codon substitutions), alleles, orthologues, SNPs, and complementary sequences, as well as sequences clearly indicated. Specifically, degenerate codon substitutions can be achieved by generating sequences in which the third position of one or more selected (or all) codons is substituted with mixed bases and / or deoxyinosine residues (Batzer et al., Nucleic Acid Res. 19:5081 (1991); Ohtsuka et al., J. Biol. Chem. 260:2605-2608 (1985); and Cassol et al. (1992); Rossolini et al., Mol. Cell. Probes 8:91-98 (1994)).

[0405] As used herein, "gene product" refers to the product of a gene such as, but not limited to, the transcript of DNA, mRNA.
[0406] The phrase "expression silencing of target gene" refers to the ability of the siRNA of the present application to start silencing the target gene. In order to determine the degree of gene silencing, a sample or assay of the cells in the target organism or culture is compared with a control sample, wherein the cells of the target organism or culture express a specific construct and the control does not express the construct. The control sample (lack of construct expression) is set to a relative value of 100%. When the test value relative to the control is about 90%, preferably 50%, more preferably 25-0%, the inhibition of the expression of the target gene is successfully obtained. Suitable assays include, for example, using techniques known to those skilled in the art such as dot blots, Northern blotting, in situ hybridization, ELISA, immunoprecipitation, enzyme action, and phenotypic assays known to those skilled in the art to detect protein or mRNA levels.
[0407] A "therapeutically effective amount" or "effective amount" of siRNA is an amount sufficient to produce the desired effect, eg, a decrease in expression of the target sequence as compared to normal expression levels detected in the absence of the siRNA.

[0409] As used herein, the term "organic lipid solution" refers to a composition comprising in whole or in part an organic solvent with lipids.
[0410] As used herein, "systemic delivery" refers to delivery that results in widespread biodistribution of a compound in an organism. Some administration techniques can result in systemic delivery of certain compounds, but not other compounds. Systemic delivery refers to contact of an effective, preferably therapeutic, amount of a compound with most of the body. In order to achieve widespread biodistribution, a blood survival period is generally required so that the compound is not rapidly degraded or cleared (such as by initial passage through organs (liver, lungs, etc.) or by rapid, non-specific cell binding) before reaching the disease site distal to the site of administration. Systemic delivery of targeted drugs can be performed in any manner known in the art, including, for example, intravenous, subcutaneous, and intraperitoneal. In a preferred embodiment, systemic delivery of targeted drugs is by intravenous delivery.
[0411] As used herein, "local delivery" refers to the delivery of a compound directly to a target site in the body. For example, a compound can be delivered locally by direct injection into a disease site such as a tumor or other target site such as an inflammatory site or a target organ such as the liver, heart, pancreas, kidney, etc.
[0412] The RNA population can be used to provide long precursor RNAs, or long precursor RNAs having substantial or complete identity to a selected target sequence that can be used to prepare siRNA. The RNAs can be isolated, synthesized, and / or cloned from cells or tissues according to methods well known to those skilled in the art. The RNA can be a mixed population (obtained from cells or tissues, transcribed from cDNA, etc.), or can represent a single target sequence. The RNA can be naturally occurring, for example, isolated from a tissue or cell sample, for example, synthesized in vitro using T7 or SP6 polymerase and PCR products or cloned cDNA; or chemically synthesized.
[0413] To form long dsRNA, for synthetic RNAs, the complement can also be transcribed in vitro and hybridized to form dsRNA. If a naturally occurring RNA population is used, for example, by transcribing cDNAs corresponding to the RNA population, or by using RNA polymerase, RNA complements are also provided (e.g., to form dsRNA, which is digested by E. coli RNAse III or Dicer). The precursor RNA is then hybridized to form double-stranded RNAs and digested. The dsRNAs can be directly encapsulated in SNALPs or can be digested in vitro before encapsulation.
[0414] Alternatively, one or more DNA plasmids encoding one or more siRNA templates can be encapsulated within nucleic acid-lipid particles. For example, siRNAs based on the naturally occurring transcription units of small nuclear RNA U6 or human RNase P RNA H1 can be transcribed as sequences that automatically fold into duplexes with hairpin loops from DNA templates in plasmids harboring RNA polymerase III transcription units (see, Brummelkamp, et al., Science 296:550 (2002); Donzé, et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 30:e46 (2002); Paddison, et al., Genes Dev. 16:948 (2002); Yu, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 99:6047 (2002); Lee, et al., Nat. Biotech. 20:500 (2002); Miyagishi, et al., Nat. Biotech. 20:497 (2002); Paul, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 99:6047 (2002); Lee, et al., Nat. Biotech. 20:500 (2002); Miyagishi, et al., Nat. Biotech. 20:497 (2002); Paul, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 10:1017 (2002); et al., Nat. Biotech. 20: 505 (2002); and Sui, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 99: 5515 (2002). Typically, the transcription unit or cassette will contain an RNA transcription promoter sequence, such as the H1-RNA or U6 promoter, operably linked to a template for transcription of the desired siRNA sequence and a termination sequence comprising 2-3 uridine residues and a polythymidine (T5) sequence (polyadenylation signal) (Brummelkamp, Science, supra). The selected promoter can provide constitutive or inducible transcription. Compositions and methods for transcription of DNA-guided RNA interference molecules are described in detail in U.S. Patent No. 6,573,099, which is incorporated herein by reference. Preferably, the synthetic or transcribed siRNA has a 3' overhang of about 1-4, preferably about 2-3 nucleotides and a 5' phosphate terminus (Elbashir, et al., Genes Dev. 15: 188 (2001); et al., Cell 107:309 (2001). The transcription unit is incorporated into a plasmid or DNA vector from which the interfering RNA is transcribed. Plasmids suitable for in vivo delivery of genetic material for therapeutic purposes are described in detail in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,962,428 and 5,910,488, both of which are incorporated herein by reference. Selected plasmids can provide transient or stable delivery to target cells. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that a plasmid initially designed to express a desired gene sequence can be modified to include a transcription unit cassette for transcribing siRNA.

[0416] 1. Metal-phospholipid complex
[0417] In the present application, the metal-phospholipid complex is composed of a phospholipid molecule portion, a linker molecule portion, and a metal ion portion. The phospholipid molecule portion is connected to the linker molecule portion, and the linker molecule portion is connected to the metal ion portion via a coordination bond. The metal-phospholipid complex is not a cationic lipid or an ionizable lipid.

[0421] As for the linker molecule, it is mainly derived from natural plant extracts, such as curcumin, which has a wide range of biological effects, including antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. In addition, it is also an effective immunomodulator that can regulate the activity of various immune cells such as T cells, B cells, macrophages, neutrophils, natural killer cells and dendritic cells, promote the balance of immunity, and enhance the body's immunity. Based on the potential immune-enhancing, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-SARS-CoV-2 effects of curcumin molecules, it is expected to become a potential auxiliary treatment for COVID-19. In addition, the safety of curcumin molecules is extremely high and has been listed in the catalog of food additives and pharmaceutical excipients. Its safety is conducive to the overall clinical drug registration of targeted drugs and shortens the length of clinical drug registration.
[0422] In some embodiments, the linker molecule portion is selected from curcumin, chlorogenic acid, anthocyanidin, quercetin, dihydromyricetin, hesperetin, naringenin, apigenin, catechin, tea polyphenols, epigallocatechin gallate, ellagic acid, morin, epicatechin gallate, catechin gallate, epigallocatechin gallate or picarapine C, and a combination of one or more of their derivatives.

Preferably, the linker molecule is selected from curcumin (Formula 19), hesperetin (Formula 24), or tea polyphenols (Formula 28).
[0423] Regarding the metal ion portion, the coordination bond between the linker molecule portion and the metal ion portion in the metal-phospholipid complex will break under low pH conditions such as lysosomes (pH = 5.0), and the metal ion will fall off from the metal-phospholipid complex.
[0424] In some embodiments, the metal ion moiety is selected from Fe 3+ 、Ag + 、Ba 2+ , Ca 2+ 、Cd 2+ 、Cu 2+ 、Fe 2+ 、Mn 2+ Mg 2+ 、Mo 2+ 、Zn 2+ , Pt 2+ 、Au 2+ 、Al 3+ 、Ce 3+ 、Co 3+ Cr 3+ 、Eu 3+ 、Gd 3+ 、Ni 3+ 、W 3+ 、V3+ 、Zr 3+ Preferably, the metal ion portion is selected from Fe 3+ Mg 2+ , Ca 2+ 、Al 3+ Preferably, the metal ion portion is selected from Fe 3 + Mg 2+ , Ca 2+ or Al 3+ .
[0425] The ratio of each component in the metal-phospholipid complex can be adjusted based on the structure of the specific metal-phospholipid complex components. This adjustment is based on the following: Because phospholipid molecules and linker molecules are linked by hydrogen bonds, as long as the phospholipid molecule contains multiple phosphate groups, the ratio of phospholipid to linker molecules can be adjusted based on the number of phosphate groups contained in the phospholipid molecule during phospholipid complex synthesis. For example, when the phospholipid molecule contains two phosphate groups, the ratio of phospholipid to linker molecules can be adjusted to 1:2; when the phospholipid molecule contains three phosphate groups, the ratio of phospholipid to linker molecules can be adjusted to 1:3. Because the hydroxyl groups of the linker molecule are linked to the metal ion by coordination bonds, the ratio of linker to metal ion can be adjusted based on the number of binding sites contained in the linker, as long as the linker molecule contains multiple binding sites. When used to encapsulate drugs (such as nucleic acids), the metal ion functions to connect the phospholipid complex to the nucleic acid. Therefore, when the linker molecule is attached to as few complexing sites as possible for the metal ion, the metal-phospholipid complex can maximize nucleic acid encapsulation.

[0428] In the present application, the metal-phospholipid complex can be prepared by a "one-step method" or by a "step-by-step method". The "one-step method" and the "step-by-step method" have equivalent capabilities for constructing metal-phospholipid complexes.

The metal-phospholipid complex particles can be used as drug carriers, wherein the drug is a negatively charged drug, such as a nucleic acid. The principle of loading the drug into the metal-phospholipid complex particles assembled by the metal-phospholipid complex is as follows: the linker molecule and the phospholipid molecule are bound together by hydrogen bonds, and the linker molecule is connected to the metal ion through a coordination bond to form a metal-phospholipid complex. The metal ion of the metal-phospholipid complex is connected to the negatively charged drug through a coordination bond, thereby ensuring that the metal-phospholipid complex and other components (conjugated lipids that inhibit particle aggregation, and non-cationic lipids or non-ionizable lipids other than the metal-phospholipid complex and the conjugated lipids that inhibit particle aggregation) self-assemble into MPPs, while the negatively charged drug is loaded into the nanoparticle MPPs to obtain drug-metal-phospholipid complex particles. Herein, the “non-cationic lipids or non-ionizable lipids other than the metal-phospholipid complex and the conjugated lipids that inhibit particle aggregation” refers to component (iii) in the metal-phospholipid complex particles, which can be simply referred to as “non-cationic lipids or non-ionizable lipids”.

[0449] Polyphenol molecules are mainly derived from natural plant extracts, such as curcumin, which has a wide range of biological effects, including antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. In addition, it is also an effective immunomodulator that can regulate the activity of various immune cells such as T cells, B cells, macrophages, neutrophils, natural killer cells and dendritic cells, promote the balance of immunity, and enhance the body's immunity. Based on the potential immune-enhancing, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-SARS-CoV-2 effects of curcumin molecules, it is expected to become a potential auxiliary treatment for COVID-19. In addition, the safety of curcumin molecules is extremely high and has been listed in the catalog of food additives and pharmaceutical excipients.

[0453] In the present application, the dosage ratio of each component in the metal-polyphenol complex can be adjusted according to the structure of the specific metal-polyphenol complex components. The basis for adjusting the dosage ratio is that since the hydroxyl groups of the polyphenol molecules are connected to the metal ions by coordination bonds, as long as the polyphenol molecules contain multiple binding sites, the dosage ratio of the polyphenol molecules and the metal ions can be adjusted according to the number of binding sites contained in the polyphenol molecules. When used to encapsulate drugs (such as nucleic acids), the function of the metal ions is to connect the metal-polyphenol complex with the nucleic acids.

Suitable categories of gene products include, but are not limited to, genes associated with viral infection and survival, genes associated with metabolic diseases and disorders (e.g., diseases and disorders in which the liver is a target, and liver diseases and disorders), genes associated with tumorigenesis and cell transformation, angiogenic genes, immunomodulator genes such as those associated with inflammation and autoimmune responses, ligand receptor genes, and genes associated with neurodegenerative disorders.
[0503] Genes associated with viral infection and survival include those expressed by viruses to bind, enter, and replicate in cells, particularly viral sequences associated with chronic viral diseases. For example, viral sequences include sequences of hepatitis viruses (Hamasaki, et al., FEBS Lett. 543:51 (2003); Yokota, et al, EMBO Rep. 4:602 (2003); Schlomai, et al, Hepatology 37:764 (2003); Wilson, et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 100:2783 (2003); Kapadia, et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 100:2014 (2003); and FIELDSVIROLOGY (Knipe et al. eds. 2001)), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (Banerjea, et al, Mol Ther. 8:62 (2003); Song, et al, 2003). al., J. Virol. 77:7174 (2003); Stephenson JAMA 289:1494 (2003); Qin, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 100:183 (2003)), herpes virus (Jia, et al., J. Virol. 77:3301 (2003)), and human papillomavirus (HPV) (Hall, et al., J. Virol. 77:6066 (2003); Jiang, et al., Oncogene 21:6041 (2002)). Exemplary hepadnavirus nucleic acid sequences that can be silenced include, but are not limited to, nucleic acid sequences involved in transcription and translation (e.g., En1, En2, X, P), nucleic acid sequences encoding structural proteins (e.g., core proteins including C and C-related proteins; capsid and envelope proteins including S, M, and / or L proteins, or fragments thereof) (see, e.g., FIELDS VIROLOGY, 2001, supra). Hepatitis C nucleic acid sequences that can be silenced include, but are not limited to, serine proteases (e.g., NS3 / NS4), helicases (e.g., NS3), polymerases (e.g., NS5B), and envelope proteins (e.g., E1, E2, and p7).Hepatitis A nucleic acid sequences are referenced, for example, in Genbank Accession No. NC_001489; hepatitis B nucleic acid sequences are referenced, for example, in Genbank Accession No. NC_003977; hepatitis C nucleic acid sequences are referenced, for example, in Genbank Accession No. NC_004102; hepatitis D nucleic acid sequences are referenced, for example, in Genbank Accession No. NC_001653; hepatitis E nucleic acid sequences are referenced, for example, in Genbank Accession No. NC_001434; and hepatitis G nucleic acid sequences are referenced, for example, in Genbank Accession No. NC_001710. Silencing sequences encoding genes associated with viral infection and survival can be conveniently used in conjunction with the administration of conventional pharmaceutical agents for treating viral diseases.
[0504] Genes associated with metabolic diseases and disorders (e.g., disorders in which the liver is targeted and liver diseases and disorders) include, for example, genes expressed in dyslipidemia (e.g., liver X receptors (e.g., LXRα and LXRβ Genbank Accession No. NM_007121)), farnesoid X receptor (FXR) (Genbank Accession No. NM_005123), sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP), site-1 protease (S1P), 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-Coenzyme-A reductase (HMG-Coenzyme-A reductase), apolipoprotein (ApoB), and apolipoprotein (ApoE)) and diabetes (e.g., glucose-6-phosphate) (see, e.g., Forman et al., Cell 81:687 (1995); Seol et al., Mol. Endocrinol. 9:72 (1995), Zavacki et al., PNAS USA 94: 7909 (1997); Sakai, et al., Cell 85: 1037-1046 (1996); Duncan, et al., J. Biol. Chem. 272: 12778-12785 (1997); Willy, et al., Genes Dev. 9 (9): 1033-45 (1995); Lehmann, et al. al., J. Biol. Chem. 272(6): 3137-3140 (1997); Janowski, et al., Nature 383:728-731 (199; Peet, et al., Cell 93:693-704 (1998)). Those skilled in the art will understand that genes associated with metabolic diseases and disorders (e.g., diseases and disorders in which the liver is targeted and liver diseases and disorders) include genes expressed in the liver itself as well as genes expressed in other organs and tissues. Silencing sequences encoding genes associated with metabolic diseases and disorders can be conveniently used in conjunction with the administration of conventional pharmaceutical agents for treating the disease or disorder.
[0505] Examples of genes associated with tumorigenesis and cell transformation include translocation sequences such as MLL fusion gene, BCR-ABL (Wilda, et al., Oncogene, 21:5716 (2002); Scherr, et al, Blood 101:1566), TEL-AML1, EWS-FLI1, TLS-FUS, PAX3-FKHR, BCL-2, AML1-ETO and AML1-MTG8 (Heidenreich, et al, Blood 101:3157 (2003)); overexpressed sequences such as multidrug resistance genes (Nieth, et al, FEBSL et al, Cancer Res. 545:144 (2003); Wu, et al, Cancer Res. 63:1515 (2003)), cell cycle proteins (Li, et al, Cancer Res. 63:3593 (2003); Zou, et al, Cancer Res. 63:3607 (2003)). al., Genes Dev. 16:2923 (2002)), β-catenin (Verma, et al., Clin Cancer Res. 9:1291 (2003)), telomerase gene (Kosciolek, et al., Mol Cancer Ther. 2:209 (2003)), c-MYC, N-MYC, BCL-2, ERBB1 and ERBB2 (Nagy, et al. Exp. Cell Res. 285:39 (2003)); and mutant sequences such as RAS (reviewed in Tuschl and Borkhardt, Mol. Interventions, 2:158 (2002)). Silencing sequences encoding DNA repair enzymes is used in conjunction with administration of chemotherapeutic agents (Collis, et al., Cancer Res. 63:1550 (2003)). Genes encoding proteins associated with tumor migration, such as integrins, selectins, and metalloproteinases, are also target sequences of interest. Any complete or partial gene sequence that is beneficial to or promotes tumorigenesis or cell transformation, tumor growth, or tumor migration can be included as a template sequence.
[0506] Angiogenic genes can promote the formation of new blood vessels, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a key research direction (Reich, et al., Mol. Vis. 9: 210 (2003)).
[0507] Immunomodulator genes are genes that regulate one or more immune responses. Examples of immunomodulator genes include cytokines such as growth factors (e.g., TGF-α, TGF-β, EGF, FGF, IGF, NGF, PDGF, CGF, GM-CSF, SCF, etc.), interleukins (e.g., IL-2, IL-4, IL-12 (Hill, et al., J. Immunol. 171: 691 (2003)), IL-15, IL-18, IL-20, etc.), interferons (e.g., IFN-α, IFN-β, IFN-γ, etc.) and TNF. Fas and Fas ligand genes are also immunomodulator target sequences of interest (Song, et al., Nat. Med. 9: 347 (2003)). Also included are genes encoding secondary signaling molecules in hematopoietic and lymphoid cells, for example, Tec family kinases, such as Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) (Heinonen, et al., FEBS Lett. 527:274 (2002)).
[0508] Cell receptor ligands include ligands that bind to cell surface receptors (e.g., insulin receptors, EPO receptors, G-protein coupled receptors, receptors with tyrosine kinase activity, cytokine receptors, growth factor receptors, etc.) to modulate (e.g., inhibit, activate, etc.) physiological pathways involved in the receptors (e.g., glucose level regulation, blood cell development, mitogenesis, etc.). Examples of cell receptor ligands include cytokines, growth factors, interleukins, interferons, erythropoietin (EPO), insulin, glucagon, G-protein coupled receptor ligands, etc.). Templates encoding trinucleotide repeat sequence (e.g., CAG repeat sequence) expansions have been found to be useful for silencing pathogenic sequences in neurodegenerative diseases caused by trinucleotide repeat sequence expansions, such as spinal bulbar muscular atrophy and Huntington's disease (Caplen, et al., Hum. Mol. Genet. 11: 175 (2002)).
[0509] Injectable Delivery: In certain circumstances, it may be desirable to deliver the targeted drugs disclosed herein parenterally, intravenously, intramuscularly, subcutaneously, intradermally, or intraperitoneally, as described in U.S. Patents 5,543,158; 5,641,515; and 5,399,363. The targeted drugs may be injected locally to the target site (e.g., a disease site such as inflammation or tumor formation or to a target organ or tissue) or systemically for widespread distribution throughout the organism. Solutions of the targeted drugs may be prepared in water suitably mixed with a surfactant. Dispersions may also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycol, and mixtures thereof, as well as in oils. Optionally, these formulations contain a preservative to prevent microbial growth. Typically, when administered intravenously, the targeted drug formulation is formulated with a suitable pharmaceutical carrier. Typically, a normal buffered saline solution (135-150 mM NaCl) is used as a pharmaceutical carrier, but other suitable carriers will suffice. Additional suitable carriers are described, for example, in REMINGTON'S PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES, Mack Publishing Company, Philadelphia, PA, 17th ed. (1985). As used herein, "carrier" includes any and all solvents, dispersion media, vehicles, coatings, diluents, antibacterial and antifungal agents, isotonic and absorption delaying agents, buffers, carrier solutions, suspensions, colloids, and the like. The phrase "pharmaceutically acceptable" refers to molecular entities and compositions that do not produce allergic or similar adverse reactions when administered to a human. The formulation of aqueous compositions is conventional in the art, and the compositions contain the protein as the active ingredient. Optionally, these compositions are prepared as injectable solutions, liquid solutions, or suspensions; solid forms suitable for solution or suspension in a liquid prior to injection can also be prepared. The formulations can also be emulsified.
[0510] Can be sterilized by conventional liposome sterilization technology, such as filtration to targeted drug.Described targeted drug can comprise pharmaceutical auxiliary substance, and described pharmaceutical auxiliary substance is suitable physiological condition, such as pH adjusting agent and buffer, toxicity adjusting agent, wetting agent etc.Use the technology indicated above to sterilize these compositions, or alternatively, they can produce under aseptic conditions.Can be packaged to use or filter under aseptic conditions and carry out freeze drying to the aqueous solution obtained, before using, freeze-dried preparation is combined with sterile aqueous solution.
[0511] Prophylactic and therapeutic treatments: In some embodiments, targeted drugs can be used for the prophylactic or therapeutic treatment of a subject (e.g., a mammalian subject) having a disease or condition associated with expression or overexpression of a target sequence. The targeted drug is administered to the subject in an amount sufficient to stimulate a therapeutic response in the patient. An amount sufficient to accomplish this is defined as a "therapeutically effective dose or amount" or an "effective dose or amount." In determining the effective amount of a targeted drug to be administered for the treatment or prevention of a disease due to expression or overexpression of a target gene, the physician evaluates circulating plasma levels of the targeted drug, targeted drug toxicity, and progression of the disease associated with expression or overexpression of the target gene. Administration can be accomplished by single or divided doses.
[0512] For example, the targeted drug can be administered to a subject who is infected by pathogenic microorganisms or who is at risk of being infected by pathogenic microorganisms. The drug should preferably correspond to a sequence, and should also be unique (or at least lacking in the genome of the natural genome of the patient undergoing treatment) for microorganisms, and the sequence has a key role in the life history of microorganisms. By ex vivo or intravenous injection, the targeted drug is introduced into target cells, tissues or organs with a therapeutically effective dose. The sequence silencing of the gene encoding the gene relevant to pathogenic infection can be conveniently combined with the use of conventional reagents for the treatment of pathogenic diseases. The treatment can be prophylactically administered to a person who is at risk of being infected by pathogenic microorganisms or who has been infected by pathogenic microorganisms.
[0513] In a preferred embodiment, the targeted drugs of the present application can be conveniently used to treat cancer, viral infections, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease. Viral infections include hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, SARS-CoV-2, HIV, HPV, influenza, smallpox, and syphilis. For example, suitable sites for inhibiting hepatitis B virus include nucleic acid sequences encoding the S, C, P, and X proteins, PRE, EnI, and EnII (see, for example, FIELDSVIROLOGY, 2001, supra). Those skilled in the art will appreciate that gene silencing associated with hepatitis infection can be combined with conventional treatments for hepatitis, such as, for example, immunoglobulins, interferons (e.g., PEGylated and non-PEGylated interferon alpha) (see, e.g., Medina et al., Antiviral Res. 60(2):135-143 (2003); ribavirin (see, e.g., Hugle and Cerny, Rev. Med. Virol. 13(6):361-71 (2003); adefovir and lamivudine (see, e.g., Kock et al., Hepatology 38(6):1410-8 (2003); prenylation inhibitors (see, e.g., Bordier et al., J. Clin. Invest. 112(3):407-414 (2003)); famciclovir (see, e.g., Yurdaydin et al., J. Hepatol. 37(2):266-71 (2002); and saikosaponins c and d (see, e.g., Chiang et al., Planta Med. 69(8):705-9 (2003).
[0514] In another embodiment, the application's targeted drug can be used to treat easily and be characterized by gene or gene cluster expression or the disease and illness of overexpression.In some respects, the application's targeted drug can be used to treat metabolic diseases and illness (for example, wherein liver is the disease and illness and hepatic disease and illness of target object) such as, for example, dyslipidemia and diabetes.Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the silence of the gene relevant to metabolic diseases and illness can be combined with the conventional treatment of these diseases. For example, silencing of genes involved in dyslipidemia can be combined with the use of statins, bile acid sequestrants / resins and cholesterol absorption inhibitors such as ezetimibe, plant stanols / sterols, polyphenols, and nutraceuticals such as oat bran, flaxseed and soy protein, phytostanol analogs, squalene synthase inhibitors, bile acid transport inhibitor SREBP cleavage activating protein (SCAP) activating ligand, nicotinic acid (niacin), acipimox, high-dose fish oil, antioxidants and policosanol, microsomal triglyceride transport protein (MTP) inhibitors, acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) inhibitors, gemcabene, rifiberol, pantothenic acid analogs, niacin-receptor agonists, anti-inflammatory agents (such as Lp-PLA(2) antagonists and AGI1067) functional oils, PPAR-α, γ, Therapeutic combinations of delta agonists, as well as dual PPAR-α, / γ and 'pan' PPAR-α / γ, / δ agonists, cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitors (such as torcetrapib), CETP vaccines, upregulators of ATP-binding cassette transporter (ABC) A1, lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) and scavenger receptor class B type 1 (SRB1), and synthetic apolipoprotein (Apo) E-related peptides, extended-release niacin / lovastatin, atorvastatin / amlodipine, ezetimibe / simvastatin, atorvastatin / CETP inhibitors, statin / PPAR agonists, extended-release niacin / simvastatin and pravastatin / aspirin in development, and anti-obesity agents (see, e.g., Bays and Stein, Expert Opin. Pharmacother. 4(11):1901-38 (2003)). Likewise, silencing of genes involved in diabetes can be combined with treatment with insulin, as well as dietary modifications and exercise.
[0515] In another embodiment, the targeted drug can be used to treat cancer, viral infection, autoimmune disease, disease caused by overactivation of the immune system, metabolic disease, fibrotic disease, tissue fibrosis, cell senescence, atherosclerosis, diabetes or osteoarthritis.

[0516] Similar methods are used to inhibit the expression of endogenous receptor cellular genes that are associated with tumorigenesis and cell transformation, tumor growth and tumor migration; inhibit the expression of angiogenic genes; inhibit the expression of immunomodulator genes, such as those associated with inflammation and autoimmune responses; inhibit the expression of ligand receptor genes; inhibit the expression of genes associated with neurodegenerative disorders; and inhibit the expression of additional genes associated with viral infection and survival. Specific target gene sequences are as described above.

For example, a label can be coupled directly or indirectly to the targeted drug component or other lipid-based carrier system using methods well known in the art. A wide variety of labels can be used, with selection being based on desired sensitivity, ease of conjugation to the targeted drug component, stability requirements, and available tools and processing readiness.

Detection of nucleic acids can be performed by methods well known in the art such as Southern blot analysis, Northern blot analysis, gel electrophoresis, PCR, radiolabeling, scintillation counting, and affinity chromatography. Additional analytical biochemical methods such as spectrophotometry, X-ray photography, electrophoresis, capillary electrophoresis, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), thin layer chromatography (TLC), and hyperdiffusion chromatography can also be used.
[0519] The sensitivity of hybridization assays can be increased by the use of nucleic acid amplification systems that multiply the amount of target nucleic acid being detected. In vitro amplification techniques suitable for amplifying sequences for use as molecular probes or for generating nucleic acid fragments for subsequent subcloning are known. Examples of techniques sufficient to guide the skilled artisan by these in vitro amplification methods, including polymerase chain reaction (PCR), ligase chain reaction (LCR), Qβ-replicase amplification, and other RNA polymerase-mediated techniques (e.g., NASBA™) are found in Sambrook, et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 2000, and Ausubel et al., SHORT PROTOCOLS IN MOLECULARBIOLOGY, eds., Current Protocols, a joint venture between Greene Publishing Associates, Inc. and John Wiley & Sons, Inc., (2002), and Mullis et al.

Other methods described in the art are nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (NASBA™, Cangene, Mississauga, Ontario) and the Qβ replicase system.

If necessary, oligonucleotides are typically purified by native acrylamide gel electrophoresis or by anion exchange HPLC, as described by Pearson and Regnier, J. Chrom., 255: 137-149 (1983). The sequence of synthetic oligonucleotides can be confirmed using the chemical degradation method of Maxam and Gilbert (1980) in Grossman and Moldave (eds.) Academic Press, New York, Methods in Enzymology, 65:499.

[0580] In the preparation process of metal-phospholipid complexes, the characteristics and effectiveness of metal-phospholipid complexes prepared by the "one-step method" and the step-by-step method were compared. The two methods had similar encapsulation efficiency values, and both showed stable performance in ensuring the effective encapsulation of metals in the complexes. In terms of eGFP positive expression, the data of the "one-step method" and the step-by-step method were also similar, proving that the "one-step method" and the step-by-step method have equivalent capabilities for constructing metal-phospholipid complexes. However, the "one-step method" can significantly shorten the time required for the industrialization process. In the scenario of industrial large-scale production, time efficiency is crucial. The "one-step method" reduces the problems of process connection and time intervals caused by step-by-step operations, greatly improving the continuity and compactness of production, thereby effectively reducing production costs and improving production efficiency. From the perspective of industrial application, compared with the step-by-step method, the "one-step method" is more in line with the needs of large-scale production, and has broad application prospects and extremely high practical value.

[0585] Example 1.5: Preparation of Metal Ions as Mg 2+ mRNA-loaded metal-chelated phospholipid complex nanoparticles (mRNA@MPP)
[0586] A metal-phospholipid complex was prepared according to the one-step method described in Example 1.2.4, wherein DSPC, curcumin, and MgCl2 were added at a 1:1:1 ratio. The metal-phospholipid complex, distearoylphosphatidylcholine (DSPC) as a non-cationic or non-ionizable lipid, cholesterol (CHOL) as a non-cationic or non-ionizable lipid, and DSPE-PEG2000 (as a conjugated lipid to inhibit particle aggregation) were dissolved in ethanol at varying molar ratios as the organic phase. The metal-phospholipid complex, DSPC, CHOL, and DSPE-PEG2000 accounted for 15%, 40%, 43.2%, and 1.8%, respectively. mRNA was dissolved at a concentration of 20 μg / mL in PBS (PBS composed of 0.137 M sodium chloride, 0.0027 M potassium chloride, 0.01 M disodium hydrogen phosphate, and 0.0018 M potassium dihydrogen phosphate) as the aqueous phase. The total mass of the metal phospholipid complex, distearoylphosphatidylcholine (DSPC), DSPE-PEG2000, and cholesterol (CHOL) was mixed with the mRNA mass at a mass ratio of 40:1 in a microfluidic chip.

After 48 hours, the cell suspension was collected and the percentage of eGFP-positive cells was detected by flow cytometry.
[0587] The particle size, surface potential, and stability of the eGFP-mRNA@MPP prepared in Examples 1.3-1.5 were tested, and the efficiency of nucleic acid encapsulation in the eGFP-mRNA@MPP was calculated.
[0588] Method for detecting particle size and result judgment standard: The particle size of nanoparticles was tested using a Malvern Zetasizer laser particle size analyzer, and a particle size within the range of 50 to 400 nm was considered acceptable.
[0589] Method for detecting surface potential and result judgment standard: The surface potential of nanoparticles was tested using a Malvern Zetasizer laser particle size analyzer, and a potential in the range of -10 to 10 mV was considered acceptable.
[0590] Stability testing method and result judgment criteria: The nanoparticles were placed at 4°C for 7 days, and the particle size and surface potential of the nanoparticles were measured using a Malvern Zetasizer. If there was no significant change in the particle size and surface potential within 3-7 days, the stability was considered to be good.
[0591] Method for calculating nucleic acid encapsulation efficiency: Specifically, agarose gel electrophoresis method is used. First, the nucleic acid feed amount of each group of lipid nanoparticles is set to 10 μg / mL, the mass ratio of lipid to nucleic acid is 40:1, and the same concentration of nucleic acid is dissolved in PBS buffer solution as a positive control, and the negative control is PBS buffer solution. The concentration of agarose gel is 1.5%. At this time, the gaps in the gel only allow free nucleic acids to pass through but do not allow lipid nanoparticles to pass through. When the free nucleic acid bands are electrophoresed to a clearly distinguishable state, the electrophoresis is stopped. Image J software is used to count the grayscale values of free nucleic acids in different groups. The positive control group is set to 100%. The ratio of free nucleic acid in each group to the positive control is the relative amount of free nucleic acid. The encapsulation rate of each group is (100-relative amount of free nucleic acid)%. A nucleic acid encapsulation rate of more than 50% is considered to be within the acceptable range.
[0592] Cell culture method: Human embryonic kidney cell line 293T was cultured in DMEM containing 10% FBS and 1% penicillin-streptomycin at 37°C and 5% CO2.
[0593] Flow cytometry analysis of eGFP-positive cell percentage: 293T cells were seeded in 24-well plates at a seeding density of 5 × 10 5 Cells were plated at 1 mL of MPP or eGFP-mRNA@MPP at a concentration of 2 μg / mL at 80% cell density. After 48 hours, the cell suspension was harvested and 20,000 cells were collected using the FITC channel of a flow cytometer. The percentage of eGFP-positive cells was analyzed using the following formula: eGFP-positive cell percentage = number of eGFP-expressing cells / total number of cells × 100%. An eGFP-positive cell percentage of 40% or higher was considered acceptable.
[0594] The principle of loading nucleic acid into metal-chelated phospholipid complex nanoparticles (MPP) assembled by metal-phospholipid complex is that curcumin is bound to DSPC through hydrogen bonds, while curcumin is bound to Fe through coordination bonds. 3+ , Ca 2+ 、Al 3+ or Mg 2+ connected to form a metal-phospholipid complex, the Fe 3+ , Ca 2+ 、Al 3+ or Mg 2+The metal-phospholipid complex is connected to the nucleic acid through a coordination bond, thereby ensuring that the metal-phospholipid complex self-assembles with other lipid components into an MPP and simultaneously loads the nucleic acid into the nanoparticle. There are two possibilities for curcumin's contribution to MPP loading of nucleic acids: ① Curcumin interacts with nucleic acids and assists MPP loading of nucleic acids, for example, by inserting into the minor groove of nucleic acids to assist in loading nucleic acids; ② Curcumin may not directly interact with nucleic acids.
[0595] Example 1.3.1: Metal ion is Fe 3+ The proportion of the components of the metal-phospholipid complex
[0596] DSPC, curcumin, and FeCl3 in Example 1.3 were added at different molar ratios (1:1:1, 3:3:2, and 2:2:1). Other steps were the same as in Example 1.3 to prepare different eGFP-mRNA@MPPs, and their nucleic acid encapsulation efficiencies were tested.
[0597] Result analysis: As shown in Table 1-1, when the molar ratio of DSPC, curcumin, and FeCl3 was 1:1:1, the eGFP-mRNA encapsulation efficiency of the prepared metal-phospholipid complex particles was 87%; when the molar ratio of DSPC, curcumin, and FeCl3 was 3:3:2, the eGFP-mRNA encapsulation efficiency of the prepared metal-phospholipid complex particles was 70%; when the molar ratio of DSPC, curcumin, and FeCl3 was 2:2:1, the eGFP-mRNA encapsulation efficiency of the prepared metal-phospholipid complex particles was 60%. In the metal-phospholipid complex particles, Fe 3+ The function of Fe is to connect phospholipid complexes with nucleic acids. 3+ Since there are a maximum of three complexation sites, the molar ratio of DSPC, curcumin, and FeCl₃ in the drug-lipid particles should be 1:1:1 to maximize nucleic acid loading within the metal-phospholipid complex. Experimental results also confirmed that a 1:1:1 molar ratio of DSPC, curcumin, and FeCl₃ resulted in the highest eGFP-mRNA loading efficiency in the metal-phospholipid complex particles. Nucleic acid loading rates exceeded 60% when the molar ratios of DSPC, curcumin, and FeCl₃ ranged from 1:1:1 to 2:2:1.

[0601] Result analysis: As shown in Table 1-2, when the molar ratio of DSPC, curcumin, and Al(NO3)3·9H2O was 1:1:1, the eGFP-mRNA encapsulation efficiency of the prepared metal-phospholipid complex particles was 92%; when the molar ratio of DSPC, curcumin, and Al(NO3)3·9H2O was 3:3:2, the eGFP-mRNA encapsulation efficiency of the prepared metal-phospholipid complex particles was 72%; when the molar ratio of DSPC, curcumin, and Al(NO3)3·9H2O was 2:2:1, the eGFP-mRNA encapsulation efficiency of the prepared metal-phospholipid complex particles was 58%. In the metal-phospholipid complex particles, Al 3+ The function of Al is to connect the phospholipid complex with the nucleic acid. 3+ Since there are at most three complexation sites, the molar ratio of DSPC, curcumin, and Al(NO₃)₃·9H₂O in the drug-lipid particles should be 1:1:1 to maximize nucleic acid loading within the metal-phospholipid complex. Experimental results also confirmed that a 1:1:1 molar ratio of DSPC, curcumin, and Al(NO₃)₃·9H₂O resulted in the highest eGFP-mRNA loading efficiency within the metal-phospholipid complex.

[0604] DSPC, curcumin, and MgCl2 in Example 1.5 were added at different molar ratios (1:1:1, 3:3:2, and 2:2:1). Other steps were the same as in Example 1.5 to prepare different eGFP-mRNA@MPPs, and their nucleic acid encapsulation efficiencies were tested.
[0605] Results: As shown in Tables 1-3, when the molar ratio of DSPC, curcumin, and MgCl2 was 1:1:1, the eGFP-mRNA encapsulation efficiency of the prepared metal-phospholipid complex particles reached 93.9%. When the molar ratio of DSPC, curcumin, and MgCl2 was 3:3:2, the eGFP-mRNA encapsulation efficiency of the prepared metal-phospholipid complex particles reached 72.6%. The function of MgCl2 in the metal-phospholipid complex particles is to connect the phospholipid complex with the nucleic acid. Each MgCl2 has a maximum of two complexation sites. Therefore, the molar ratio of DSPC, curcumin, and MgCl2 in the drug-lipid particles should be 1:1:1 to maximize nucleic acid encapsulation. Experimental results also confirmed that the metal-phospholipid complex particles prepared with a molar ratio of DSPC, curcumin, and MgCl2 of 1:1:1 achieved the highest eGFP-mRNA encapsulation efficiency. When the molar ratio of DSPC, curcumin, and MgCl2 ranges from 1:1:1 to 3:3:2, the nucleic acid encapsulation efficiency of the metal-phospholipid complex particles is above 72.6%.

[0609] Analysis of results: As shown in Tables 1-4, when the proportion of metal-phospholipid complexes is in the range of (10-40)%, the proportion of DSPC is in the range of (0-40)%, the proportion of CHOL is in the range of (35-75)%, and the proportion of DSPE-PEG2000 is in the range of (2-10)%, the particle size of the metal-phospholipid complex particles is in the range of 50-400 nm, the surface potential is in the range of -10-10 mV, the in vitro stability is >3 days, the mRNA encapsulation rate is >50%, and the positive expression rate of eGFP protein is above 70%. Among them, when the metal-phospholipid complex accounts for 15%, distearoylphosphatidylcholine (DSPC) accounts for 35%, cholesterol (CHOL) accounts for 46% and DSPE-PEG2000 accounts for 4%, the performance of the metal-phospholipid complex particles is optimal, that is, the particle size is in the range of 110nm, the surface potential is in the range of -2.04mV, the in vitro stability is >7 days, the mRNA encapsulation rate is 87%, and the positive expression rate of eGFP protein is 97%. Because mRNA@MPP mainly relies on metal-phospholipid complexes to adsorb nucleic acids, the proportion of metal-phospholipid complexes cannot be too low; when the DSPC content is in the range of 0-40%, the stability of its nanoparticles is within an acceptable range. When the DSPC content is 0%, the stability of its nanoparticles can be maintained because the metal-phospholipid complex contains DSPC; the role of DSPE-PEG2000 is to prevent nanoparticle aggregation and increase circulation time in the body. Its performance will be better when its content is in the range of 2-10%; the role of CHOL is to enhance the fluidity of nanoparticles, and maintaining a certain content is beneficial to the stability of nanoparticles.

[0624] Compared with Example 1.3, the replacement of distearoylphosphatidylcholine (DSPC) is shown in Table 1-7, and the other conditions are the same.
[0625] Results analysis: To explore the eGFP-mRNA@MPP(Fe 3+ ) can be replaced by other non-cationic lipids or non-ionizable lipids. We selected three other non-cationic lipids or non-ionizable lipids, namely DSPE, DSPA and DSPG, to replace DSPC, and tested the particle size, surface potential, stability and mRNA encapsulation efficiency to prove that eGFP-mRNA@MPP(Fe 3+ ) can be replaced by other non-cationic lipids or non-ionizable lipids, and its function after replacement is equivalent to that of eGFP-mRNA@MPP(Fe 3+ ) (Table 1-7). Because non-cationic lipids or non-ionizable lipids DSPC in eGFP-mRNA@MPP(Fe 3+ ) is to make the liposome membrane fusion better, more stable and less toxic, while other non-cationic lipids or non-ionizable lipids also have the function of making the liposome membrane fusion better, more stable and less toxic. Therefore, DSPC in drug-lipid particles can be replaced by other non-cationic lipids or non-ionizable lipids except metal-phospholipid complexes and conjugated lipids that inhibit particle aggregation, and its efficacy will not be affected.

[0744] The characterization method of DSPC and curcumin connection was differential scanning calorimetry. The measurement conditions were as follows: 3-5 mg of the test substance was weighed, the heating rate was 10 ° C / min, and the temperature range was 30-300 ° C. Curcumin, DSPC, and phospholipid complex (curcumin-DSPC complex) were scanned respectively. The curve was drawn according to the obtained data. The results are shown in FIG. Figure 2-1 As can be seen from the spectrum, curcumin has a lattice structure and a clear melting peak appears at 185°C. DSPC is a mixture, with multiple depressions on the curve, which may be due to the thermal changes of different components under different temperature conditions. There is no peak near the melting peak of curcumin in the phospholipid complex, which is basically a straight line, indicating that curcumin and DSPC are combined and exist in an amorphous form, proving that the phospholipid complex was successfully prepared.

We designed the following experiment: the color of the metal-phospholipid complex was observed under physiological pH (pH = 7.4) and lysosomal low pH (pH = 5.0). Figure 2-3 As shown in the figure, the metal-phospholipid complex changes from brown-red to bright yellow under the low pH value (pH = 5.0) of the lysosome, indicating that Fe 3+ The results suggest that under the low pH conditions of lysosomes, Fe 3+ Can be detached from the metal-phospholipid complex.
[0752] Under low pH conditions, Fe 3+ The principle of shedding from the metal-phospholipid complex is: curcumin and Fe 3+ The coordination bonds between them are protonated under low pH conditions (pH = 5.0), that is, curcumin binds a large number of protons (H + ), leading to Fe 3+ The coordination bond between Fe and curcumin is broken, which makes Fe 3+ Separation from curcumin, ultimately leading to Fe 3+ Separated from metal-phospholipid complexes ( Figure 2-3 ).

[0757] siRNA@LNPs and mRNA@LNPs were prepared using the same drug loading as described in Example 1.3.6 for siRNA@MPP and Example 1.3.5 for mRNA@MPP. The organic phase solution was prepared according to the Onpattro lipid nanoparticle formulation, where the ionizable lipid ALC0315, DSPE-PEG2000, DSPC, and cholesterol were dissolved in ethanol at a molar ratio of 50%:1.5%:10%:38.5%. Bcl-siRNA or RBD-mRNA was added to the aqueous phase (0.1 M acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer, pH 4.0). The amino lipid to phosphate nucleotide ratio (N / P) was 6:1, ensuring the same nucleic acid loading as described for the siRNA@MPP and mRNA@MPP formulations. The aqueous and organic phases were rapidly mixed at a volume ratio of 3:1 at a flow rate of 14 mL / min. After mixing, the mixture was diluted tenfold with enzyme-free PBS buffer solution and concentrated to one-tenth using a 100 kDa ultrafiltration tube. After repeating the dilution and concentration operation three times, the ethanol concentration in the mixture was reduced to below 0.0005% and the pH value of the solution was increased to the normal pH value of PBS buffer solution (7.2-7.4), thus producing siRNA@LNP and mRNA@LNP, respectively.
[0758] Agarose gel electrophoresis was used to examine the nucleic acid (siRNA and mRNA) loading efficiency of siRNA@MPP, mRNA@MPP, siRNA@LNP, and mRNA@LNP. The loading efficiency was determined as follows: the nucleic acid (siRNA and mRNA) loading rate for each lipid nanoparticle group was set at 10 μg / mL, with a lipid-to-nucleic acid mass ratio of 40:1. The nucleic acids were dissolved in PBS buffer as a positive control, while a nucleic acid-free PBS buffer solution was used as a negative control. The agarose gel concentration was 1.5%, which allows only free nucleic acids to pass through the gel, not the lipid nanoparticles. Electrophoresis was stopped when the free nucleic acid bands were clearly distinguishable to prevent nucleic acid degradation due to prolonged electrophoresis. Image J software was used to calculate the grayscale value of free nucleic acid in each group. The positive control group was set at 100%. The ratio of free nucleic acid in each group to the positive control was the relative amount of free nucleic acid. The loading efficiency for each group was calculated as (100 - relative amount of free nucleic acid)%.
[0759] Result analysis: Figure 2-5 As shown, MPP(Fe 3+ ) encapsulation efficiency of siRNA and mRNA was 90.11% and 89.78% respectively; MPP (Al 3+ ) encapsulation efficiency of siRNA and mRNA was 92.81% and 91.48% respectively; MPP (Mg 2+ The efficiency of MPP and LNP in encapsulating siRNA and mRNA was 93.69% and 92.02%, respectively; the efficiency of LNP in encapsulating siRNA and mRNA was 89.02% and 89.36%, respectively. The results showed that there was no significant difference in the efficiency of nucleic acid encapsulation between MPP and LNP.

[0761] The Bcl-2-siRNA (SEQ ID No. 4) of Example 1.3.6 was replaced with Cy5-labeled Bcl-2-siRNA to prepare Cy5-siRNA@MPP (the concentration of the siRNA contained was 100 nM), and the Bcl-2-siRNA (SEQ ID No. 4) of Example 2.4 was replaced with Cy5-labeled Bcl-2-siRNA to prepare Cy5-siRNA@LNP (the concentration of the siRNA contained was 100 nM); the eGFP-mRNA (SEQ ID No. 1) of Example 1.3.5 was replaced with Cy5-labeled eGFP-mRNA to prepare Cy5-mRNA@MPP (the concentration of the mRNA contained was 2 μg / mL), and the RBD-mRNA of Example 2.4 was replaced with Cy5-labeled RBD-mRNA to prepare Cy5-mRNA@LNP (the concentration of the mRNA contained was 2 μg / mL), and they were respectively mixed with the cell lysosome probe Lysotracker After incubating A549 cells with Cy5 and Lysotracker Green for 3 hours, the high-content imaging system was used to observe the overlap of the Cy5 fluorescence signal (red) and the LysotrackerGreen fluorescence signal (green). 3+ The results are as follows Figure 2-11 As shown), the ability of the drug-lipid particles to promote nucleic acid lysosomal escape was determined.
[0762] The ability of drug-metal-phospholipid complex particles to promote nucleic acid lysosomal escape was determined by incubating cells with the drug-lipid nanoparticles for 3 hours. High-content imaging was used to observe the overlap between the Cy5 fluorescence signal (red) and the LysotrackerGreen fluorescence signal (green). ImageJ software was used to calculate the overlap ratio between the red and green fluorescence signals. When the overlap ratio between the red and green fluorescence signals was less than 50% after incubating cells with the drug-metal-phospholipid complex particles for 3 hours, this indicated that nucleic acids could escape from lysosomes more rapidly and that the lipid nanoparticles possessed a strong ability to promote nucleic acid lysosomal escape.
[0763] Result analysis: Figure 2-6 As shown, when Cy5-siRNA@MPP(Fe 3+ ) and Cy5-mRNA@MPP(Fe 3+ ) incubated A549 cells for 3 hours, the overlap rates of red fluorescence signal and green fluorescence signal were 39.11% and 43.44%, respectively, that is, the lysosomal escape rates were 60.89% and 56.56%, respectively; when Cy5-siRNA@MPP(Al 3+ ) and Cy5-mRNA@MPP(Al 3+) incubated A549 cells for 3 hours, the overlap rates of red fluorescence signal and green fluorescence signal were 33.48% and 40.15%, respectively, that is, the lysosomal escape rates were 66.52% and 59.85%, respectively; when Cy5-siRNA@MPP(Mg 2+ ) and Cy5-mRNA@MPP(Mg 2+ ) incubated A549 cells for 3 hours, the overlap rates of red fluorescence signal and green fluorescence signal were 54.86% and 57.36%, respectively, that is, the lysosomal escape rates were 45.14% and 42.64%, respectively; while after incubating A549 cells for 3 hours with Cy5-siRNA@LNP and Cy5-mRNA@LNP, the overlap rates of red fluorescence signal and green fluorescence signal were 77.69% and 84.69%, respectively, that is, the lysosomal escape abilities were 22.31% and 15.31%, respectively. This suggests that the drug-lipid nanoparticles (Fe 3+ 、Al 3+ or Mg 2+ )MPP has a good ability to promote nucleic acid lysosomal escape, and (Fe 3+ 、Al 3+ or Mg 2+ ) The ability of MPP to promote lysosomal escape is significantly stronger than that of LNP.

[0765] The RBD-mRNA in Example 2.4 was replaced with mRNA encoding the fluorescent protein eGFP, and the rest of the preparation method was the same as Example 2.4 to obtain eGFP-mRNA@LNP.
