Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure belongs to the field of chemical and bioengineering technology, and relates to a ribose-modified Cap2 capping analogue and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] The mRNA cap is a highly methylated modification at the 5' end of mRNA, which can protect mRNA from degradation, recruit complexes involved in mRNA processing, and mark cellular mRNA to avoid recognition by the immune system. In vitro synthesized RNA needs to complete the addition of 5' end cap structure through a certain synthesis process, so as to form a complete mRNA structure. The integrity of mRNA ensures the accurate translation of protein, and the 5'-Cap cap structure modification can protect mRNA from degradation by 5'-exonuclease activity, effectively promote the initiation of translation, and reduce immunogenicity.
[0003] In mammals, the main 5' cap structure is an inverted 7-methylguanosine nucleotide, which is connected to the first transcribed nucleotide by a 5'-5' triphosphate bond. The 7-methylguanosine is methylated at its 7 nitrogen position, which can be referred to as m7G or 7mG. This cap-like structure can be represented as 5'm7GpppN1(pN) X , wherein N is any nucleotide, and x is 0 or any number.
[0004] Under the action of guanine N-7 methyltransferase, the N7 position of guanine is methylated to form the cap structure Cap0 (m7GpppNpNp). Then under the action of 5'-O ribose methyltransferase, the 2'-O position of the first nucleotide of mRNA is methylated to form the cap structure Cap1, and the structure can contain m7G5'pppN12'-OMe (pN) X from 5' end to 3' end, wherein N is any nucleotide, and x can be any integer. The 2'-O positions of the first and second nucleotides of mRNA are both methylated to form the cap structure Cap2, and the structure can contain m7G5'pppN12'-OMepN22'-OMe (pN) X from 5' end to 3' end, wherein N is any nucleotide, and x can be any integer.
[0005] Cap2 can exist on all mRNAs, mRNA is slowly converted from Cap1 to Cap2 in the cytoplasm as it "ages", Cap2 is significantly enriched on mRNAs with longer half-lives, the increase of Cap1 level can activate the RIG-I mediated immune response, but the conversion of Cap1 to Cap2 can significantly reduce the ability of RNA binding and activation of RIG-I, the process of slow conversion of Cap1 to Cap2 in cells can enable the body to better cope with viruses. Therefore, the Cap2 cap structure analog can effectively improve the disadvantage of high immunogenicity of the cap structure analog in the existing mRNA synthesis system, and the Cap2 capping analog is chemically modified in the application, so as to further reduce the immunogenicity of mRNA while enhancing the translation efficiency. SUMMARY
[0006] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a ribose-modified Cap2 capping analog and its application. The ribose-modified Cap2 capping analog disclosed in the present application can improve the unit template yield of mRNA and / or the translation efficiency of mRNA.

The ethanol lipid solution was mixed with the above-mentioned FLuc mRNA aqueous solution prepared from different capping structures at a volume ratio of 1:3 by using a microfluidic device at a flow rate of 10 mL / min to prepare LNP at a total lipid to mRNA weight ratio of about 15:1. The obtained liposomes were diluted with PBS to a total volume of 10 times, and then ultrafiltrated with a 300 KDa ultrafiltration tube to remove ethanol. After being diluted with PBS to a certain volume, finally, the lipid nanoparticles were filtered through a 0.2 μm sterile filter to obtain the LNP preparation of YK-009 / DSPC / cholesterol / DMG-PEG2000 (molar percentage 49:10:39.5:1.5) encapsulating self-replicating FLuc-mRNA.

Each sample was measured 3 times. The measurement conditions were: 90º scattering angle, 25ºC. The encapsulation efficiency of the lipid nanoparticles was determined using the Quant-it Ribogreen RNA quantitation assay kit (ThermoFisher Scientific, UK) according to the manufacturer's instructions.

[0245] 1. Experimental method
[0246] (1) HEK293T cells were cultured in DMEM medium containing 10% FBS and penicillin / streptomycin at 37ºC under 5% CO2 conditions.
[0247] (2) The cells in the culture dish were digested and counted, and 10,000 cells per well were plated in a 96-well plate and cultured overnight until the cells adhered.
[0248] (3) When the cell density was about 80%, transfection was performed, 50 ng of mRNA sample was added to each well with Lipofectamine Messenger MAX Transfection Reagent (Invitrogen) reagent, and the transfection steps were performed according to the instructions.
[0249] (4) After the transfected cells are placed at 37 °C in 5% CO2 for continuous culture for 24 h, the growth medium is removed from the cells to be tested, and the cells are rinsed with PBS. After the PBS is removed by centrifugation, 50 μL of lx lysis buffer is added, and the cells and all the liquid are transferred to a microcentrifuge tube, which is then centrifuged.
[0250] (5) 20 μL of the sample is taken, 100 μL of Dual-Lumi™ II luciferase detection reagent, which has been equilibrated to room temperature, is added, and the mixture is mixed well.
[0251] (6) Incubation is performed at room temperature (about 25 °C) for 5 min to allow the luminescent signal to stabilize. Chemiluminescence detection is performed using a multifunctional microplate reader with chemiluminescence detection function, and the data are recorded (see Table 7 and Figure 2 ).

[0255]
[0256] It can be seen that the ribose-modified Cap2 capping analogs of the present application have significantly improved mRNA translation efficiency compared to the Cap2 or Cap1 capping analogs in the prior art. The relative fluorescence intensity (corresponding to the translation efficiency of the mRNA) of Comparative Example 1 is 0.9. The average fluorescence intensity of YK-CAP-301, YK-CAP-303, YK-CAP-305, and YK-CAP-306 is 2.8 times, 3.2 times, 2.1 times, and 2.5 times that of Comparative Example 1, 2.5 times, 2.9 times, 1.9 times, and 2.3 times that of Comparative Example 2, 2.1 times, 2.4 times, 1.6 times, and 1.9 times that of Comparative Example 3, 2.1 times, 2.4 times, 1.6 times, and 1.9 times that of Comparative Example 4, 1.4 times, 1.6 times, 1.1 times, and 1.3 times that of Comparative Example 5, and 1.7 times, 1.9 times, 1.3 times, and 1.5 times that of Comparative Example 6. This indicates that the use of the capping analogs of the present application to modify ribose can more easily bind to the cap-binding protein (EIF4E), thereby improving the translation efficiency of the target mRNA.

The total radiation intensity of YK-CAP-306 at the corresponding time is 1.47 times, 1.71 times, 2.43 times and 2.03 times that of Comparative Example 1, respectively, 1.41 times, 1.73 times, 2.36 times and 2.00 times that of Comparative Example 2, 1.41 times, 1.55 times, 2.68 times and 2.41 times that of Comparative Example 3, 1.40 times, 1.67 times, 2.02 times and 2.11 times that of Comparative Example 4, 1.38 times, 1.19 times, 1.43 times and 1.37 times that of Comparative Example 5, and 1.30 times, 1.38 times, 1.61 times and 1.62 times that of Comparative Example 6.
[0267] As can be seen from the animal experiments, compared with the capping analogs of Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2, Comparative Example 3, Comparative Example 4, Comparative Example 5 and Comparative Example 6 in the prior art, the protein expression amount and duration in vivo of the mRNA transcribed by the ribose-modified Cap2 capping analogs of the application are significantly improved. The in vivo experiments further prove that the mRNA transcribed by YK-CAP-301, YK-CAP-303, YK-CAP-305 and YK-CAP-306 in the application can be effectively delivered to the body by the LNP delivery carrier and expressed efficiently and continuously.

[0279]
