Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of gene therapy formulation technology, specifically a method for preparing low-host DNA in a human adenovirus formulation. Background Technology

[0002] Recombinant oncolytic adenoviruses originate from natural adenoviruses (a common type of DNA virus), which naturally possess the ability to infect and replicate within cells. Through gene editing techniques (such as deleting or modifying key genes like E1B and E3), the virus can be engineered to replicate only in tumor cells, losing its ability to replicate in normal cells. This modification leverages the characteristics of tumor cells (such as p53 dysfunction or Rb pathway abnormalities), making it a tool for targeted therapy.

[0003] In tumor cells, viruses can replicate efficiently and eventually lyse the cells, releasing new viral particles. These particles can then infect surrounding tumor cells, creating a chain reaction. This process not only directly destroys tumor tissue but also releases large amounts of tumor titers and viral components, laying the foundation for immune activation. The tumor titers and viral components (such as viral DNA or proteins) released during the lysis process strongly activate the body's immune system, particularly dendritic cells and T cells. This triggers an anti-tumor immune response (such as enhanced titer presentation and T cell killing), which, combined with direct oncolysis, forms a synergistic anti-tumor mechanism of "oncolysis + immunity," effectively eliminating residual or metastatic tumor cells.

[0004] As an important research direction in the field of tumor immunotherapy, recombinant oncolytic adenovirus represents a shift from traditional chemotherapy to targeted immunotherapy. It combines the advantages of direct cell killing and systemic immune activation, and is currently being used in clinical trials to treat various solid tumors (such as bladder cancer and melanoma), and is considered a key strategy for improving cancer treatment efficacy and reducing side effects.

[0005] In the production of adenovirus preparations, the harvested material infected with the virus contains the target adenovirus, as well as host cell debris, proteins, host DNA, and cell culture medium components. All these impurities need to be removed. Among these, the key to the safety of preparing human adenovirus preparations using 293 cells is the content of residual host DNA in the cells. The residual host DNA content in human adenovirus preparations must not exceed 10 ng / dose (PCR method), and the size of residual DNA fragments should be controlled below 200 bp.

[0006] In addressing various indications, particularly when using systemic administration, high-dose viral loads or multiple consecutive doses are often required. Against this backdrop, developing a host DNA purification process for human adenovirus formulations is crucial. This process must effectively remove residual host DNA from adenovirus formulations to meet national pharmacopoeia standards while significantly improving virus recovery rates, which is of great importance. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing low-host DNA in human adenovirus preparations, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0009] A method for preparing low-host DNA in a human adenovirus preparation: by adding a pretreatment agent to an adenovirus-containing solution for pretreatment, followed by microfluidic treatment, purification, and sterilization, a low-host DNA adenovirus is obtained; subsequently, after formulation and packaging, a low-host DNA adenovirus preparation is obtained.

[0010] Furthermore, the pretreatment agent is sodium chloride; the concentration of sodium chloride in each liter of adenovirus-containing solution is 18~30 g / L.

[0011] Furthermore, the concentration of sodium chloride in each liter of adenovirus-containing solution is 24-30 g / L.

[0012] Furthermore, the preprocessing is an oscillation process, with a processing time of 2-4 hours.

[0013] Furthermore, the microjet processing adopts a Y-shaped channel structure with a channel aperture of 25~100μm, a microjet processing pressure of 2000~3000bar, and a microjet processing frequency of 1~3 times.

[0014] Furthermore, the channel aperture of the Y-shaped channel structure is 25~50μm, and the pressure of the microjets is 2500~3000bar.

[0015] Furthermore, the adenovirus-containing solution is a virus harvest solution, an ultrafiltration concentrate, or a stock solution.

[0016] Furthermore, the pretreatment agent also includes arginine hydrochloride, a nonionic surfactant, PBS buffer, and potassium chloride.

[0017] Furthermore, in each liter of adenovirus-containing solution, the concentration of arginine hydrochloride is 2-5 g / L, the concentration of nonionic surfactant is 0.1-1 mL / L, and the concentration of potassium chloride is 5-10 g / L; wherein, PBS buffer is added simultaneously with arginine hydrochloride to stabilize the pH of the adenovirus-containing solution and avoid large pH fluctuations.

[0018] Furthermore, in each liter of adenovirus-containing solution, the concentration of arginine hydrochloride is 3-4 g / L, the concentration of nonionic surfactant is 0.4-0.6 mL / L, and the concentration of potassium chloride is 7-8 g / L; wherein, PBS buffer is added simultaneously with arginine hydrochloride to stabilize the pH of the adenovirus-containing solution and avoid large pH fluctuations.

[0019] Furthermore, the nonionic surfactant is Tween 20.

[0020] Furthermore, the ultrafiltration concentrate is obtained by ultrafiltration concentration of the virus harvest fluid; the specific method is as follows: first, the virus harvest fluid is filtered using a 0.8 μm filter cartridge, and then filtered using a 0.65 μm filter cartridge to obtain a clarified virus harvest fluid; then, the clarified virus harvest fluid is ultrafiltered and concentrated 10-15 times using a 300KD low protein adsorption ultrafiltration membrane to obtain a primary concentrate; finally, the primary concentrate is washed with 6-8 volumes of 0.01 mol / L PBS buffer and then washed with 8-10 volumes of 0.35 mol / L sodium chloride solution to obtain the ultrafiltration concentrate.

[0021] Furthermore, the stock solution is obtained by purifying the ultrafiltration concentrate using molecular sieve gel chromatography. The specific method is as follows: the ultrafiltration concentrate is separated and purified by molecular sieve gel chromatography at a linear flow rate of 35~45 cm / h, and eluted with 0.01 mol / L PBS buffer while controlling the pressure to <0.8 bar. The first peak is collected to obtain the stock solution.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are:

[0023] (1) DNA and viruses are bound together through various means such as electrostatic interaction, hydrogen bonding, and hydrophobic interaction. Therefore, sodium chloride is used as the main raw material for pretreatment in this invention. The addition of sodium chloride changes the salt ion concentration in the solution, thereby interfering with these interactions and effectively separating DNA from viruses, laying the foundation for subsequent microfluidic treatment and purification steps.

[0024] (2) Arginine hydrochloride was added in this invention. The guanidin group contained therein can work with sodium chloride to interfere with the interaction between DNA and virus, making DNA easier to detach. At the same time, arginine can form hydrogen bonds with viral capsid proteins, which helps maintain the stability of adenovirus under high salt conditions. Considering that the addition of arginine hydrochloride will affect the pH of the adenovirus-containing solution, PBS buffer needs to be added at the same time to stabilize the solution pH and avoid large pH fluctuations that may affect adenovirus activity.

[0025] (3) In this invention, a nonionic surfactant, Tween 20, is also added. Nonionic surfactants can avoid electrostatic binding with DNA and directly coat the virus surface to form a physical barrier. This further synergizes with arginine hydrochloride to maintain the stability of adenovirus and can also improve the virus recovery rate. Furthermore, nonionic surfactants can further reduce the interfacial tension of the system, allowing DNA with strong adsorption on the virus surface to be further separated, and can also prevent the virus from adsorbing residual DNA.

[0026] (4) In this invention, potassium chloride and sodium chloride are further added in synergy, because K + Na + Since their ionic radii are similar, potassium chloride can superimpose the ionic competitiveness of sodium chloride, thereby enhancing its ability to interfere with the interaction between DNA and viruses.

[0027] (5) In this invention, microfluidic treatment is further used to induce the linear DNA molecules of the host cell to break, thereby achieving the technical effect of efficient removal of host DNA and efficient recovery of virus.

[0028] (6) This invention achieves efficient removal of host DNA and efficient recovery of viruses through the synergistic effect between the components in the pretreatment agent and the control of process parameters in microfluidic treatment. Studies have found that microfluidic treatment at a pressure of 2500~3000 bar can achieve a host DNA removal rate of up to 90~99%, and the residual host DNA in each dose of product can be ≤1ng / dose, which is far below the standard stipulated by the National Pharmacopoeia. Moreover, the residual fragments are all ≤200bp, and the product quality has high stability and high controllability.

[0029] In summary, this invention achieves highly efficient removal of host DNA and high virus recovery by using sodium chloride, potassium chloride, arginine hydrochloride, and nonionic surfactants as pretreatment agents to treat virus harvest liquid, ultrafiltration concentrate, or stock solution, followed by microfluidic treatment. This is of great significance. Attached Figure Description

[0039] I. Processing of virus harvested fluid:

[0040] Examples 1-12: A method for preparing low-host DNA in a human adenovirus preparation:

[0041] 1. Obtaining the virus harvesting solution: (1) Take a certain number of 293.2sus cells from the liquid nitrogen tank and immediately place them in a 37°C constant temperature water bath to thaw rapidly; then mix the thawed cell suspension and transfer it to a DMEM complete culture medium container, centrifuge, and then use 3~5×10 5 Seeds were seeded in shake flasks at a density of 37°C and 120 rpm, and cultured until the cell count reached 3-5 × 10⁶ cells / mL. 6 Pass the cells at a density of 3-5 × 10⁶ cells / mL. 5 Cells / mL; continue culturing at 37℃ and 120 rpm until cells grow to 3~5×10⁻⁶. 6When the cell count / mL and viability >95%, the cells were passaged into a bioreactor and cultured at 37°C, pH 7.4, and dissolved oxygen 50% until the cells grew to 3-4 × 10⁶ cells / mL. 6 When the cell / mL and the survival rate is >90%, adenovirus is inoculated at MOI=5 and cultured at 37℃, pH=7.4 and dissolved oxygen 50%; (2) After adenovirus inoculation and culture for 72h, the virus cell material is centrifuged at 4℃ and 1000rpm for 5min and virus-carrying cells and supernatant are collected; (3) The virus-carrying cells are subjected to repeated freeze-thaw cycles at 37℃ and -80℃ three times to lyse the cells and release the virus. Then, the freeze-thaw product is centrifuged at 4℃ and 2000rpm for 5min and virus is collected; (4) The virus and supernatant are mixed evenly to obtain virus harvesting liquid.

[0042] 2. The above-mentioned virus harvested fluid was divided into 3 batches, with 12 samples taken from each batch, and uniformly numbered as Example 1, Example 2, Example 3... Example 12. Different concentrations of sodium chloride were added to each batch of virus harvested fluid from Examples 1 to 5, and then microfluidic treatment was performed on them using a domestically produced microfluidic device to verify the role of sodium chloride in the virus harvested fluid and to determine the optimal concentration of sodium chloride to be added, as detailed below:

[0043] Example 1: Sodium chloride was added to the virus harvest fluid at a concentration of 26 g / L. After it was fully dissolved, it was shaken for 3 hours. Then, microfluidic treatment was performed using a domestically produced microfluidic device. The parameters for microfluidic treatment were: Y-type channel structure with a channel aperture of 25 μm; treatment pressure of 3000 bar; and 2 treatments.

[0044] Example 2: Sodium chloride was added to the virus harvest fluid at a concentration of 18 g / L. After it was fully dissolved, it was shaken for 3 hours. Then, microfluidic treatment was performed using a domestically produced microfluidic device. The parameters for microfluidic treatment were: Y-type channel structure with a channel aperture of 25 μm; treatment pressure of 3000 bar; and 2 treatments.

[0045] Example 3: Sodium chloride was added to the virus harvest fluid at a concentration of 30 g / L. After it was fully dissolved, it was shaken for 3 hours. Then, microfluidic treatment was performed using a domestically produced microfluidic device.

[0046] Example 4: Sodium chloride was added to the virus harvest fluid at a concentration of 24 g / L. After it was fully dissolved, it was shaken for 3 hours. Then, microfluidic treatment was performed using a domestically produced microfluidic device. The parameters for microfluidic treatment were: Y-type channel structure with a channel aperture of 25 μm; treatment pressure of 3000 bar; and 2 treatments.

[0047] Example 5: Sodium chloride was added to the virus harvesting fluid at a concentration of 28 g / L. After it was fully dissolved, it was shaken for 3 hours. Then, microfluidic treatment was performed using a domestically produced microfluidic device. The parameters for microfluidic treatment were: Y-type channel structure with a channel aperture of 25 μm; treatment pressure of 3000 bar; and 2 treatments.

[0048] Performance Test 1: Residual DNA testing was performed on Examples 1-5. The methods for detecting residual DNA and DNA removal rate are as follows: The HEK293 DNA quantitative reference standard and DNA diluent from the HEK293 DNA kit were thawed and mixed under ice bath conditions; using the HEK293 DNA quantitative reference standard as the standard, a series of concentration gradient standards of 300 pg / μL, 30 pg / μL, 3 pg / μL, 300 fg / μL, and 30 fg / μL were prepared using DNA diluent to establish a standard curve; after DNA extraction and purification, the adenovirus-containing solution of the test sample was detected using a real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR detection system, and the concentration and removal rate of host residual DNA in the sample were calculated according to the standard curve; subsequent methods for detecting residual DNA and DNA removal rate all refer to this method; as shown in Table 1:

[0049] Table 1: Effects of different sodium chloride concentrations on DNA removal from virus harvest fluid

[0050]

[0051] Result Analysis 1: As shown in Table 1 above, when the concentration of sodium chloride added to the virus harvest fluid is 24~30 g / L, the removal rate of host DNA is excellent; among them, when the concentration of sodium chloride added is 26 g / L, the removal rate of host DNA is the most efficient.

[0052] 3. As shown above, the highest efficiency in removing host DNA is achieved when the sodium chloride concentration in the virus harvesting fluid is 26 g / L. Based on Example 1, sodium chloride was added to each batch of virus harvesting fluid (Example 6) at a concentration of 26 g / L, and treated using an imported microfluidic device. Simultaneously, another portion of virus harvesting fluid was taken from each batch, designated as Comparative Example 1, and sodium chloride was added to it at a concentration of 26 g / L, followed by static ultra-high pressure treatment. This was used to verify the effectiveness of microfluidic treatment and determine the optimal microfluidic device, as detailed below:

[0053] Example 6: Sodium chloride was added to the virus harvesting fluid at a concentration of 26 g / L. After it was fully dissolved, it was shaken for 3 hours. Then, it was treated with imported microfluidic equipment. The parameters of the microfluidic treatment were: Y-type channel structure with a channel aperture of 25 μm; treatment pressure of 3000 bar; and treatment times of 2.

[0054] Comparative Example 1: Sodium chloride was added to the virus harvest fluid at a concentration of 26 g / L. After it was fully dissolved, it was shaken for 3 hours and then subjected to static ultra-high pressure treatment at 4000 bar for 45 minutes.

[0055] Performance Test 2: Residual DNA tests were performed on Example 6 and Comparative Example 1, as detailed in Table 2:

[0056] Table 2: Effects of different equipment / methods on DNA removal from virus harvest fluid

[0057]

[0058] Result Analysis 2: As can be seen from the test results in Table 2 above, microfluidic treatment can achieve efficient removal of host DNA from the virus, especially when using imported microfluidic equipment for microfluidic treatment.

[0059] 4. Based on the test results of Examples 1-6, it can be seen that when the sodium chloride concentration is 26 g / L, microfluidic treatment of the virus harvest fluid using an imported microfluidic device can achieve more efficient removal of host DNA from the virus. Now, based on Example 6, a single sample of virus harvest fluid from each batch was taken and designated as Comparative Example 2. Sodium chloride was added to Comparative Example 2 and to Examples 7-8 of each batch of virus harvest fluid at a concentration of 26 g / L, and then microfluidic treatment was performed using an imported microfluidic device. Specifically, Comparative Example 2 used a Z-shaped channel structure for microfluidic treatment, while Examples 7-8 used 50 μm and 100 μm channel pore sizes, respectively, as detailed below:

[0060] Comparative Example 2: Sodium chloride was added to the virus harvest fluid at a concentration of 26 g / L. After complete dissolution, the mixture was shaken for 3 hours and then microfluidic treatment was performed using an imported microfluidic device. The parameters for microfluidic treatment were: Z-shaped channel structure with a channel aperture of 25 μm; treatment pressure of 3000 bar; and 2 treatment cycles.

[0061] Performance Test 3: Residual DNA was tested on Comparative Example 2, as shown in Table 3:

[0062] Table 3: Effect of channel structure type of microfluidic device on DNA removal from virus harvest fluid

[0063]

[0064] Result Analysis 3: As can be seen from the test results in Table 3 above, the microfluidic treatment effect of the Z-type channel structure is lower than that of the Y-type channel structure. The amount of residual DNA after treatment with the Z-type channel structure is more than twice that of the residual DNA after treatment with the Y-type channel structure.

[0065] Example 7: Sodium chloride was added to the virus harvest fluid at a concentration of 26 g / L. After it was fully dissolved, it was shaken for 3 hours. Then, it was treated with imported microfluidic equipment. The parameters of the microfluidic treatment were: Y-type channel structure with a channel diameter of 50 μm; treatment pressure of 3000 bar; and treatment times of 2.

[0066] Example 8: Sodium chloride was added to the virus harvesting fluid at a concentration of 26 g / L. After it was fully dissolved, it was shaken for 3 hours. Then, it was treated with microfluidic equipment using imported microfluidic equipment. The parameters for microfluidic treatment were: Y-type channel structure with a channel aperture of 100 μm; treatment pressure of 3000 bar; and treatment times of 2 times.

[0067] Performance Test 4: Residual DNA tests were performed on Examples 7-8, as detailed in Table 4:

[0068] Table 4: Effect of channel aperture size of microfluidic equipment on DNA removal from virus harvest fluid

[0069]

[0070] Result Analysis 4: The test results in Table 4 above show that when the Y-type channel aperture is 25~50μm, microfluidic treatment of the virus harvest fluid exhibits a high host DNA removal effect.

[0071] 5. As shown above, when the Y-channel aperture is 25-50 μm, microfluidic treatment of the virus harvest fluid exhibits a high host DNA removal effect. Based on Example 7, Examples 9-12 employ microfluidic pressures of 2000 bar, 2250 bar, 2500 bar, and 2750 bar respectively to obtain the optimal process parameters for microfluidic treatment, as detailed below:

[0072] Example 9: Sodium chloride was added to the virus harvesting fluid at a concentration of 26 g / L. After it was fully dissolved, it was shaken for 3 hours. Then, it was treated with microfluidic equipment using imported microfluidic equipment. The parameters for microfluidic treatment were: Y-type channel structure with a channel aperture of 50 μm; treatment pressure of 2000 bar; and 2 treatments.

[0073] Example 10: Sodium chloride was added to the virus harvest fluid at a concentration of 26 g / L. After it was fully dissolved, it was shaken for 3 hours. Then, it was treated with imported microfluidic equipment. The parameters of the microfluidic treatment were: Y-type channel structure with a channel aperture of 50 μm; treatment pressure of 2250 bar; and 2 treatments.

[0074] Example 11: Sodium chloride was added to the virus harvest fluid at a concentration of 26 g / L. After it was fully dissolved, it was shaken for 3 hours. Then, it was treated with imported microfluidic equipment. The parameters of the microfluidic treatment were: Y-type channel structure with a channel aperture of 50 μm; treatment pressure of 2500 bar; and 2 treatments.

[0075] Example 12: Sodium chloride was added to the virus harvest fluid at a concentration of 26 g / L. After it was fully dissolved, it was shaken for 3 hours. Then, it was treated with imported microfluidic equipment. The parameters of the microfluidic treatment were: Y-type channel structure with a channel aperture of 50 μm; treatment pressure of 2750 bar; and 2 treatments.

[0076] Performance Test 5: Residual DNA testing was performed on Examples 9-12. The viral titer was detected as follows: Under ice bath conditions, the adenovirus-containing solution was serially diluted 10-fold to 10^6 using DMEM complete medium as the diluent. -12 The diluted virus solution was added to a 96-well cell culture plate containing 293 cells and cultured at 37°C with 5% CO2 for 10 days. The cytopathic effect was observed daily, and the viral titer of the adenovirus-containing sample was calculated using the half-maximal dose method. Subsequent methods for detecting viral titers followed the same approach. See Table 5 for details.

[0077] Table 5: Effect of microfluidic pressure on DNA removal from virus harvest fluid

[0078]

[0079] Result Analysis 5: The test results in Table 5 above show that when the pressure is ≥2500 bar, the removal effect on host DNA is basically consistent. At 2500~3000 bar, there is no effect on viral titer. (See details...) Figure 2 .

[0080] Performance Test 6: One sample from each batch was randomly selected under a microjets pressure of 2500–3000 bar for further testing. The size of the host DNA fragments in each batch was measured using a DNA fragment analyzer. Subsequent DNA fragment size measurements were performed using the DNA fragment analyzer, as detailed in Table 6.

[0081] Table 6: Size of host DNA fragments in virus harvest fluid samples under microfluidic pressure of 2500–3000 bar

[0082]

[0083] Among them, IG (below the last point from the standard curve): the detected value is 1.00x10 lower than the lowest concentration point of the standard curve. -3 pg / uL.

[0084] Result Analysis 6: The test results in Table 6 above show that when the pressure is ≥2500 bar, the host DNA fragments in the virus harvest fluid are generally less than 200 bp, which meets the relevant regulatory requirements for oncolytic viruses.

[0085] In summary, based on the test results of Examples 1-12 and Comparative Examples 1-2, it can be seen that when the concentration of sodium chloride added to the virus harvesting fluid is 24-30 g / L, the microfluidic treatment adopts a Y-shaped channel structure with a channel pore size of 25-50 μm, and the microfluidic pressure is 2500-3000 bar, the host DNA content can be removed more efficiently.

Obtaining Ultrafiltration Concentrate: The above three batches of virus harvested fluid were subjected to ultrafiltration concentration treatment: First, the virus harvested fluid was filtered using a 0.8 μm filter cartridge, and then filtered again using a 0.65 μm filter cartridge to obtain a clear virus harvested fluid; then, the clear virus harvested fluid was ultrafiltered and concentrated 12 times using a 300 KD low protein adsorption ultrafiltration membrane to obtain a primary concentrate; finally, the primary concentrate was washed with 7 volumes of 0.01 mol / L PBS buffer and 9 volumes of 0.35 mol / L sodium chloride solution to obtain the ultrafiltration concentrate;

[0089] 2. Three batches of ultrafiltration concentrate were obtained according to the above method. Eleven portions were taken from each batch and uniformly numbered as Example 13, Example 14, Example 15...Example 23. Different concentrations of sodium chloride were added to each batch of ultrafiltration concentrate from Examples 13 to 17, and then microfluidic treatment was performed using an imported microfluidic device to verify the role of sodium chloride in the ultrafiltration concentrate and to determine the optimal concentration of sodium chloride to be added. The details are as follows:

[0090] Example 13: Sodium chloride was added to the ultrafiltration concentrate at a concentration of 28 g / L. After it was fully dissolved, it was shaken for 3 hours.

[0095] Performance Test 7: Residual DNA tests were performed on Examples 13-17, as detailed in Table 7.

[0096] Table 7: Effects of different sodium chloride concentrations on DNA removal from ultrafiltration concentrate

[0198] Sodium chloride (26 g / L), arginine hydrochloride (3 g / L), Tween 20 (0.4 mL / L), and potassium chloride (15 g / L) were added to the virus harvest fluid. PBS buffer was added to stabilize the pH of the solution, ensuring the pH variation did not exceed ±0.2. After complete dissolution, the solution was shaken for 3 hours. Then, an imported microfluidic device was used for microfluidic treatment. The parameters for microfluidic treatment were: Y-type channel structure with a channel pore size of 50 μm; treatment pressure of 3000 bar; and two treatment cycles.

[0199] Performance Test 16: Residual DNA was tested on comparative examples 3-13, as shown in Table 18.

[0200] Table 18: Effects of relevant pretreatment agent components on DNA removal from virus harvest fluid

[0201]

[0202] Result Analysis 16: The components in the pretreatment agent of this invention work closely together to enhance the efficiency of host DNA removal.

[0203] In summary, this invention achieves highly efficient removal of host DNA and efficient virus recovery through the synergistic effect of the components in the pretreatment agent and the control of process parameters in microfluidic treatment. Studies have found that microfluidic treatment at 2500-3000 bar achieves a host DNA removal rate of 90-99%, with residual host DNA levels ≤1 ng / dose, far below the standards stipulated in the National Pharmacopoeia, and residual fragments ≤200 bp. The product quality exhibits high stability and high controllability.
