Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present disclosure relates to nucleic acids, pharmaceutical compositions and methods for inhibiting complement protein 5 (C5) gene expression. The present disclosure further relates to the nucleic acid, drug composition and siRNA complex. This invention relates to the preparation and use of: [Background technology]
[0002] Myasthenia gravis (MG) is primarily caused by acetylcholine receptor antibodies (AchR-Ab). It is an acquired autoimmune disease that is mediated by the neuromuscular junction, depends on cell-mediated immunity, and involves complement. This is a disease that affects the acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) on the postsynaptic membrane at the junction.
[0003] Complement protein (C5) is one of the key target points for treating myasthenia gravis. AchR-Ab binds to AchR through the involvement of complement, and AchR mediates complement-mediated cell membrane It is destroyed in large quantities by its lytic action, causing impairment of acetylcholine transmission in the postsynaptic membrane. Studies have shown that the drug specifically binds to the complement protein C5, By combining with C5α, it inhibits the cleavage of C5 into C5a and C5b and also inhibits the formation of the membrane attack complex. Inhibits the destruction of the membrane attack complex at the neuromuscular junction and the subsequent production of pro-inflammatory factors It has been shown that it blocks the immune system and exerts an immunosuppressive effect to treat myasthenia gravis.
[0004] Small interfering RNA (siRNA) Based on the mechanism of RNA interference (RNAi) The present invention provides a method for the treatment of diseases by suppressing or blocking the expression of a target gene of interest in a sequence-specific manner. It suppresses C5 gene expression at the mRNA level and inhibits the production of complement proteins. By blocking this, it maintains the body's normal immune function and suppresses the occurrence of abnormal immune responses. If it were possible to realize this, it would undoubtedly be the most ideal treatment option.

Except for this, the procedure was the same as in Preparation Example 1, step (1-2) synthesis of the sense strand.
[0418] Then, the sense strand was cleaved and deprotected under the following conditions. The combined nucleotide sequences were then soaked in AMA solution (40 wt% methylamine aqueous solution and 25 wt% amine aqueous solution). A 1:1 volumetric mixture of AMA solution and 0.5 ml / μm The mixture was incubated at 25°C for 2 hours in a water bath, and the remaining carrier was removed by filtration. The supernatant was then dried. The purification and desalting conditions for the sense strand were the same as those in Preparation Example 1, step (1-2) Synthesis of the sense strand. The purification and desalting conditions were the same as those of the previous study. Then, the mixture was lyophilized to obtain the sense strand of Cy5-conjugate 1. Ta.

Cy5-siRNA1 was prepared from the above and molecular weight detection was performed. Got A1.
[0422] The sense and antisense strand sequences correspond to Cy5-siRNA2 shown in Table 4b, respectively. Cy5-s was synthesized to have the corresponding sense and antisense sequences. Cy5-siRNA2 was prepared in the same manner as for iRNA1, and molecular weight detection was performed. This resulted in Cy5-siRNA2.

The transfection concentrations were 56 nM, 0.391 nM, 0.098 nM, and 0.024 nM. The transfection mixture was obtained by mixing two transfection complexes X1 to X7 with the same concentration. The transfection mixture containing the complex was added to two different culture wells, and the test group The numbers ranged from 1 to 7.
[0433] In four separate culture wells, one transfection was performed at 100 μl / well. Complex X8 was added to each of the transfection mixtures to obtain a complex-free transfection mixture, and a control group was used. It was decided.
[0434] The transfection mixture containing the above complex and the transfection mixture without the complex were The mixture was incubated with the cells in the culture wells for 4 h, and then each well was diluted with 20% FBS-containing 1 ml of H-DMEM complete medium was added. The 24-well plate was incubated in 5% CO2 / 95% air. The cells were then placed in an air-containing cell incubator and cultured for 24 hours.

A melting curve of the gene GAPDH was obtained, and the C5 of the target gene and the endogenous reference gene GAPDH were measured. t-values were obtained.
[0438] [Table 5]
[0439] Using the comparative Ct (ΔΔCt) method, the expression level of the target gene C5 in each test group and the control group was Relative quantitative calculation was performed for the following: ΔCt(test group)=Ct(target gene in test group)-Ct(endogenous reference gene in test group) ΔCt(control group)=Ct(gene of interest in control group)-Ct(endogenous reference gene in control group) ΔΔCt(test group)=ΔCt(test group)-ΔCt(average of control group) ΔΔCt(control group) = ΔCt(control group) - ΔCt(average of control group) Here, ΔCt (average of the control group) is the ΔCt of each of the four culture wells in the control group. t (control group). Therefore, each culture well in each test group was ΔΔCt (test group), and each culture well in the control group had one ΔΔCt ( The control group corresponds to the control group.
[0440] The expression levels of C5 mRNA in the test group were normalized to those in the control group. The mRNA expression level was defined as 100%.
[0441] Relative expression level of C5 mRNA in the test group = 2^(-ΔΔCt(test group)) × 100% It is.
[0442] After transfection of different complexes (complexes 1–8), the expression of β-lactamase in HepG2 cells was According to the relative expression levels of C5 mRNA, the results were analyzed using Graphpad 5.0 software. Nonlinear regression analysis of log(inhibitor) vs. response e (three parameters) dose-effect curve fitting, Figure 1A Dose-effect curves of complexes 1 to 8 shown in Figures 1H to 1H were obtained. The logarithm of the final concentration (lgnM) is plotted on the abscissa and the relative expression level (%) of C5 mRNA is plotted on the ordinate. The coordinates are shown, and each black circle represents the C5 mRNA expression in two culture wells of the test group relative to the control group. The average relative expression level of A is shown.

[0450] Six to seven week-old C57BL / 6J female mice (purchased from Beijing Weitong Lihua Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd.) Ten mice (simply referred to as C57 mice) were selected and randomly divided into groups of two. 1x PBS and the above-prepared Cy5-siRNA1, Cy5-complex 1, and Cy5- siRNA2 or Cy5-complex 2 solution was injected subcutaneously, and all animals were dosed according to body weight. The dose was calculated and the administration volume was 5 ml / kg body weight, and the amount of siRNA was The corresponding dose was 3 mg / kg body weight.
[0451] After 2, 6, 24, and 48 hours from administration, the mice in each group were sequentially examined using small animal biooptical imaging. The system was placed in an IVIS Lumina Series III and was then fitted with isoflurane. The mouse was anesthetized using gas, and the anesthetized mouse was placed in a belly-up position for small animal biooptical imaging. The cells were placed in a gauging system and subjected to live imaging to dynamically detect Cy5 fluorescent signals and The distribution of the y5-labeled siRNA or Cy5-labeled complex in living animals was tracked. Only mice administered the sensitizing complex showed a significantly enhanced fluorescent signal in the liver region, and Mice administered y5-labeled siRNA or 1×PBS did not show any fluorescent signal in the liver region. No number was given.
[0452] After 48 h, all mice were killed and five tissues from each mouse, namely the heart, lungs, liver, spleen, and kidneys, were extracted. The organs were then extracted and fluorescent images were taken with the IVIS Lumina Series III. One mouse was selected from each group, and the above five organs were arranged vertically in order. × PBS, Cy5-siRNA1, or Cy5-complex 1 administered mice were identified.
