AI Technical Summary
Current therapies lack effective methods to target and reduce lipoprotein(a) levels, which are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events, as traditional drugs struggle to specifically address this lipid particle due to its structural similarity with other lipoproteins.
Development of siRNAs that target the apolipoprotein(a) gene (LPA) to suppress its expression, thereby reducing lipoprotein(a) levels and mitigating cardiovascular risk.
The siRNAs effectively lower lipoprotein(a) levels, potentially reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases by inhibiting its expression at the genetic level.

Description
[Technical field]
[0001] This disclosure claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 202111545699.6, filed on December 16, 2021, the entire text of which is incorporated herein by reference.
[0002] The present disclosure belongs to the biopharmaceutical field, and specifically relates to siRNA, complexes, compositions, and pharmaceutical uses thereof that suppress the expression of the apolipoprotein(a) gene (Apo(a) gene, LPA). [Background technology]
[0003] Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)], first discovered by Norwegian geneticist Berg in 1963, is identified as a unique lipoprotein (Berg KA new serum type system in man-the Lp system.Acta Pathol Microbiol Scand 1963, 59:369-82.). [Lp(a) is composed of two parts: a lipid part that is an LDL-like particle located mainly in the core region, and a protein part located in the periphery, in which apolipoprotein (a) [apo(a)] and apoB100 are linked by disulfide bonds. Apo(a) is expressed mainly in the liver, and its expression is limited to humans and non-human primates, and it is characterized by the presence of three domains (Kringle) of a tricyclic structure stabilized by internal disulfide bonds. In the human lineage, the amplification and differentiation of Kringle IV domains in apo(a) has resulted in 10 different types of KIV domains, among which further amplification of Kringle IV type 2 (KIV-2) has resulted in multiallelic (1-40 copies) intracellular copy number variation (CNV), while the other Kringle IV-encoded domains (KIV-1 and KIV-3-KIV-10) are present only as single copies (Schmidt K, Noureen A, Kronenberg F, et al. Structure, Function, and Genetics of Lipoprotein(a)[J]. Journal of Lipid Research, 2016, 57(8):1339.). Since all Kringles are transcribed and translated, KIV-2 CNVs result in size polymorphism of the encoded apo(a), the expression of which is inversely proportional to the number of KIV-2 domains present, and the content of Lp(a) in plasma is significantly increased when the KIV-2 copy number is relatively low.
[0004] Patients with elevated Lp(a) have a 2-3 times higher risk of cardiovascular events than the normal population, leading to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, lower limb arterial disease, aortic valve stenosis, etc. (EnAs EA, Varkey B, Dharmarajan TS, et al. Lipoprotein(a): An independent, genetic, and causal factor for cardiovascular disease and acute myocardial infarction[J]. Indian Heart Journal, 2019, 71(2).). Lp(a) can lead to poor atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) through two mechanisms: on the one hand, it can promote thrombus formation in plaque rupture or turbulence in vascular stenosis, resulting in vascular occlusion, or promote thrombus formation, since apo(a) has been confirmed to inhibit fibrinolysis in vitro, and on the other hand, LDL-like particles can promote intimal cholesterol deposition, inflammation or oxidized phospholipids, resulting in atherosclerotic stenosis or aortic valve stenosis (Albert Youngwoo Jang, Seung Hwan Han, Il Suk Sohn, et al. Lipoprotein(a) and Cardiovascular Diseases[J]. Circulation Journal, 2020, 84:867-874). However, even if Lp(a) is at a very high level, its cholesterol content is lower than the conventional LDL limit, so the pathogenicity of the LDL-like particle portion may be relatively low.
[0005] In 2016, the Chinese Guidelines for Prevention and Treatment of Adult Blood Dyslipidemia defined Lp(a) abnormality as >30 mg / dl, and based on this, approximately 30% of patients with past cardiovascular events in China have Lp(a) abnormality. In 2019, the American Lipid Association recommended that Lp(a) ≥ 50 mg / dl is an elevated level, and based on this, 20% of the world's population has elevated Lp(a) levels. Although elevated Lp(a) levels are common, there are no targeted therapeutic drugs, and no drugs targeting Lp(a) reduction have been approved for clinical use to date. Lp(a) protein is structurally similar to many lipoproteins and is difficult to directly target with small and large molecule drugs, but mRNA transcribed from the Lp(a) gene has a high degree of exclusivity in that it can specifically degrade the mRNA through siRNA post-transcriptional control mechanisms and further suppress Lp(a) expression. Therefore, siRNAs targeting the apo(a) gene (LPA) have been designed to attenuate its expression, thereby reducing serum Lp(a) levels and further reducing adverse cardiovascular events.

[0279] As used herein, the terms "complementary" or "reverse complementary" can be used interchangeably and have the meaning known to those skilled in the art that in a double-stranded nucleic acid molecule, bases in one strand pair with bases in another strand in a complementary manner. In DNA, the purine base adenine always pairs with the pyrimidine base thymine (or uracil in RNA), and the purine base guanine always pairs with the pyrimidine base cytosine. Each base pair contains one purine and one pyrimidine. If adenine in one strand always pairs with thymine (or uracil) in the other strand, and guanine always pairs with cytosine, the two strands are said to be complementary to each other, and the sequence of the strand can be deduced from the sequence of its complementary strand. Accordingly, "mismatch" is used in the art to mean that bases at corresponding positions in a double-stranded nucleic acid are not present paired in a complementary manner.
[0280] As used herein, the term "suppression" can be used interchangeably with "reduction," "silencing," "downregulation," "inhibition," and other similar terms, and includes any level of suppression. Suppression can be assessed by a reduction in the absolute or relative level of one or more of these variables as compared to a control level. The control level can be any type of control level used in the art, such as a pre-administration baseline level or a level determined from an untreated or control (e.g., buffer control or inactive agent control only) treated subject, cell, or sample. For example, the degree of suppression of target gene expression by siRNA can be indicated by the amount of excess mRNA expression, for example, 99% or less, 95% or less, 90% or less, 85% or less, 80% or less, 75% or less, 70% or less, 65% or less, 60% or less, 55% or less, 50% or less, 45% or less, 40% or less, 35% or less, 30% or less, 25% or less, 20% or less, 15% or less, or 10% or less. The inhibition rate of target gene expression can be detected using the Dual-Glo (registered trademark) Luciferase Assay System. The firefly chemiluminescence value (Fir) and Renilla chemiluminescence value (Ren) are read, respectively, and the relative value Ratio = Ren / Fir is calculated. In the present disclosure, the excess mRNA expression ratio (or excess activity %) = Ratio (siRNA-treated group) / Ratio (siRNA-free control group), and inhibition rate (%) = 100% - excess mRNA expression (%).

The initial final transfection concentration of each siRNA sample was 20 nM, with a five-fold gradient dilution, resulting in seven concentration points.
[0437] PHHs were cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen, and 24 h prior to transfection, primary human hepatocytes (PHHs) were resuscitated and then seeded into 96-well plates at a seeding density of 3 × 10 4 cells / well with 80 μL of medium in each well.
[0438] According to the product instruction manual, siRNA was transfected by Lipofectamine RNAi MAX (ThermoFisher, 13778150), and the gradient final concentration of siRNA transfection was 20nM, 4nM, 0.8nM, 0.16nM, 0.032nM, 0.0064nM and 0.00128nM. After 24 hours of treatment, total cellular RNA was extracted by high-throughput cellular RNA extraction reagent kit, RNA reverse transcription experiment and quantitative real-time PCR detection were performed to measure the mRNA level of human LPA, and the mRNA level of human LPA was corrected by the level of GAPDH internal reference gene.
[0439] Among them, for quantitative real-time PCR detection, probe Q-PCR detection experiments were used, and the primer information is shown in Tables 24 and 25.
[0440] After the Taqman probe Q-PCR detection experiment is completed, the corresponding Ct value is obtained according to the threshold automatically set by the system, and the expression of a certain gene can be relatively quantified by comparing the Ct values: the Ct comparison is to calculate the difference in gene expression by the difference value with the internal reference gene Ct value, and the difference is calculated by the difference value. -△△Ct Also called △△Ct = [(Ct experimental group target gene - Ct experimental group internal standard) - (Ct control group target gene - Ct control group internal standard)]. Inhibition rate (%) = (1 - excess target gene expression) x 100%.
[0441] The results are shown as the excess percentage of human LPA mRNA expression in cells treated with control siRNA. The IC50 results of the inhibition rate are shown in Table 26.
[0442] The results showed that TJR100373 had significantly superior activity.
