Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] This disclosure claims priority to a Chinese patent application filed on May 13, 2022, bearing application number CN202210522056.8 and entitled "Nucleic Acid Construct Containing UTR and Use Thereof," the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
[0002] The present disclosure belongs to the field of nucleic acids and relates to a nucleic acid construct comprising a UTR and its use for preventing or treating diseases. The nucleic acid construct may comprise a nucleic acid sequence expressing human hepatocyte growth factor (hHGF) for use in gene therapy drugs for diseases such as critical limb ischemia and diabetic foot. [Background technology]
[0003] Gene therapy and gene vaccination can provide highly specific and personalized treatment and prevention strategies for a variety of diseases, including genetic disorders, autoimmune diseases, cancer and tumor-related diseases, and inflammatory diseases.
[0004] Both DNA and RNA can be used for gene therapy or gene vaccination. DNA is stable and easy to handle, but insertion of DNA fragments into the patient's genome carries the risk of causing mutation events (e.g., loss of function of damaged genes). RNA can avoid undesired genome integration, but RNA enzymes are ubiquitous, making it susceptible to degradation. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the stability of RNA to accumulate the protein products encoded by it in the body and achieve treatment or prevention against diseases, while maintaining the integrity of RNA structure and function during storage and administration. It has been found that naturally occurring eukaryotic mRNA molecules contain stabilizing elements, such as untranslated regions (UTRs) at their 5' and 3' ends, and other structural features such as a 5' cap structure and a 3' polyadenylic acid tail. The 5' UTR and 3' UTR are premature mRNA elements, and structural features specific to mature mRNAs (e.g., 5' cap and 3' polyadenylic acid tail) are added to the transcribed (premature) mRNA during mRNA processing. Regarding the correlation between UTR and mRNA stability, studies have shown that the 3'UTR of α-globin mRNA is an important factor in the stability of α-globin mRNA (Nancy D Rodgers et al, RNA. 2002 Dec;8(12):1526~37; Z Wang et al, Mol Cell Biol. 1999 Jul;19(7):4552~60.).
[0005] Peripheral artery disease (PAD) refers to a series of non-coronary artery syndromes caused by structural and functional disorders of the arteries of the limbs, organs and brain, characterized by stenosis, occlusion and tumor-like lesions occurring in the non-coronary blood circulation, affecting the aorta and branch arteries. Among PAD, lower limb ischemic disease is the most common clinically, and the main etiologies include atherosclerosis obliterans (ASO), diabetic artery obliterans (DAO) and thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO). Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is the final stage of ASO development, and diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a type of DAO. Both are peripheral vascular disorders, characterized by lower limb pain, ulcers and necrosis due to stenosis or occlusion of lower limb blood vessels and insufficient distal blood perfusion. Currently, the most effective treatment for CLI and DFU is revascularization by surgery or endovascular intervention, but more than 40% of patients do not meet the requirements for revascularization due to age, comorbidities, etc., and can only be treated conservatively with medication. Drug therapy can only delay the progression of the disease, but cannot cure it.
[0006] Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a multifunctional stromal-derived growth factor that binds to the cell membrane surface receptor c-met, induces phosphorylation of intracellular tyrosine residues, recruits adaptor proteins, promotes kinase activity, and activates downstream signaling pathways. HGF is an important regulator of processes such as embryonic development, tissue and organ regeneration, wound healing, and angiogenesis, and can promote the proliferation and migration of endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells, promote the reconstruction of the microvascular network in ischemic areas, and inhibit cell apoptosis. Research results show that delivery of hHGF-cDNA by intramuscular injection of naked plasmid can effectively promote blood flow perfusion in the ischemic hindlimb of mice and rabbits (Y Taniyama et al.Therapeutic angiogenesis induced byhumanhepatocyte growth factor gene in rat and rabbithindlimb ischemia models:preclinical study for treatment of peripheral arterial disease.Gene Ther .2001 Feb;8(3):181-9). Clinical data shows that injecting naked plasmid into the calf muscle can promote wound healing in patients (S Cui et al. Clinical Safety and Preliminary Efficacy of Plasmid pUDK-HGF Expressing Human Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) in Patients with Critical Limb Ischemia. Eur J Vasc Endovasc Surg. 2015 Oct; 50 (4): 494-501.). However, naked plasmid drug delivery has shortcomings such as low transfection efficiency in vivo, high dosage burden, high risk of DNA integration, and high treatment cost. Moreover, clinical data shows that the toe-brachial pressure index, transcutaneous oxygen tension, and amputation rate have not been improved, so there is still a lot of room for improvement in the drug.
[0007] The present disclosure provides an mRNA that includes a novel structure of 5'UTR and 3'UTR, which reduces premature degradation of the mRNA or stabilizes the degradation of the mRNA, but does not impair or even enhances protein translation efficiency. The above mRNA has higher stability and can be used for gene therapy or gene vaccination. The present disclosure also provides an mRNA capable of expressing human hepatocyte growth factor (hHGF) and its lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery system, which can realize efficient and rapid transformation of exogenous hHGF protein in vivo, has the advantages of no integration risk and being easy to mass-produce industrially, is a more desirable treatment regimen than naked plasmid, and can be used as a gene therapy drug for various diseases such as CLI and DFU.

The results showed that the wounds of mice treated with 50ng / mouse, 200ng / mouse and 500ng / mouse of m-A16-B12 (hHGF) and 200μg / mouse of Collategene naked plasmid were better healed than those of the control group, and the promotion of wound healing by m-A16-B12 (hHGF) was significantly superior to that of 200μg / mouse of Collategene naked plasmid. [Figure 14] Representative photographs of the effect of m-A16-B12 (hHGF) and control plasmid of the present disclosure on tissue reconstitution in a Db / Db mouse model of total cortical injury. The results showed that treatment with m-A16-B12 (hHGF) achieved total epithelial coverage of the wound epithelium in each group of mice, achieving tissue reconstitution. On the other hand, neither the control group nor the 200 μg / mouse Collategene naked plasmid group achieved epithelial reconstitution, and collagen abnormally proliferated in the wound area, resulting in a disorganized structure. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0099] term In order that the present disclosure may be more readily understood, certain technical and scientific terms are specifically defined below. Unless otherwise expressly defined herein, all other technical and scientific terms used herein have the meanings commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art.
[0100] The term "HGF" in the present disclosure covers natural or wild-type HGF and its homologues from different species, including naturally occurring human hepatocyte growth factor (hHGF) and variants thereof having biological activity. The amino acid sequence of natural or wild-type hHGF is conveniently available from various common databases (e.g., GenBank database). For example, the amino acid sequence of natural hHGF can be found in the GenBank database under accession number: NP_000592.3. For example, the present disclosure also provides hHGF whose amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO: 109, whose DNA sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO: 110, and whose codon-optimized sequence is shown in SEQ ID NOs: 111-113. HGF has multiple biological activities, including, but not limited to, one or more of the following activities: (1) promoting endothelial cell growth and / or migration, (2) promoting angiogenesis (e.g., microvascular) and / or (3) promoting repair of nerve damage (e.g., peripheral neuropathy such as diabetic peripheral neuropathy). Thus, HGF has many potential uses, including, but not limited to, (1) promoting endothelial cell growth and / or migration, (2) promoting angiogenesis (e.g., microvascular), (3) treating ischemic diseases, such as coronary artery disease (CAD) or peripheral arterial disease (PAD), e.g., lower limb arterial ischemia, (4) treating metabolic syndrome and diabetes and its complications (e.g., diabetic peripheral neuropathy), (5) inhibiting restenosis, and (6) promoting repair of nerve damage (e.g., neurodegenerative diseases, traumatic nerve injury, peripheral neuropathy). Thus, examples of the term "diseases that can benefit from the activity of native hHGF" include, but are not limited to, the above-mentioned diseases, such as ischemic diseases, metabolic syndrome, diabetes and its complications, restenosis, and nerve damage.
[0101] "Nucleic acid" or "nucleotide" includes RNA, DNA and cDNA molecules. It should be understood that due to the degeneracy of the genetic code, a large number of nucleotide sequences that code for a given protein can be produced. The term nucleic acid may be used interchangeably with the term "polynucleotide." An "oligonucleotide" is a short-stranded nucleic acid molecule. A "primer" is an oligonucleotide, whether naturally occurring in purified restriction enzyme digestion or produced synthetically, that can act as a synthesis initiator when placed under conditions that induce the synthesis of a primer extension product complementary to the nucleic acid strand (i.e., in the presence of nucleotides and an inducing agent such as DNA polymerase, and at a suitable temperature and pH). To maximize amplification efficiency, the primer is preferably single-stranded, but may also optionally be double-stranded. If double-stranded, the primer is first treated to separate its strands before being used to prepare extension products. Preferably, the primer is a deoxyribonucleotide. The primer must be long enough to trigger the synthesis of an extension product in the presence of the inducing agent. The exact length of the primer is determined by many factors, including temperature, source of primer and the method used.
[0102] "Vector" or "expression vector" refers to a replicon, such as a plasmid, bacmid, phage, virus, virion, or cosmid, that can be linked to another DNA segment, i.e., an "insert," to effect replication of the linked segment in a cell. A vector may be a nucleic acid construct designed for delivery to a host cell or for transfer between different host cells. As used herein, a vector may be viral or non-viral in origin and / or final form, such as the PUC57 DNA vector used herein. The term "vector" covers any genetic element that is capable of replicating and transferring genetic sequences to a cell when associated with the appropriate control elements. In some embodiments, a vector may be an expression vector or a recombinant vector.
[0103] "Promoter" refers to any nucleic acid sequence that regulates the expression of another nucleic acid sequence by driving the transcription of that nucleic acid sequence, which may be a heterologous target gene encoding a protein or RNA. Promoters may be constitutive, inducible, inhibitable, tissue-specific, or any combination thereof. A promoter is a control region of a nucleic acid sequence, by which the initiation and rate of transcription of the remainder of the nucleic acid sequence is controlled.
[0104] "Gene" refers to a segment of DNA involved in the production of a polypeptide chain, which may or may not include preceding and following coding regions, such as 5' untranslated (5'UTR) or "leader" sequences and 3'UTR or "untranscribed tail region" sequences, as well as inserted sequences (introns) between each coding segment (exon).
[0105] "Recombinant" refers to a polynucleotide that is the product of various combinations of cloning, restriction, or ligation steps, as well as other processes that result in a construct that is distinct and / or different from naturally occurring polynucleotides.
[0106] "Introducing" means "transfection," "transformation," or "transduction" in the context of inserting a nucleic acid sequence into a cell, and includes the incorporation of a reference nucleic acid sequence into a eukaryotic or prokaryotic cell, where the nucleic acid sequence can be integrated into the cell's genome (e.g., chromosome, plasmid, plastid, or mitochondrial DNA), converted to autonomous replication, or expressed transiently (e.g., transfection of mRNA).
[0107] "Nucleic acid construct" refers to a single-stranded or double-stranded nucleic acid molecule. In some embodiments, a nucleic acid construct is a DNA molecule that has been modified or synthesized to include a nucleic acid segment in a manner that does not occur in nature, the nucleic acid molecule including one or more control sequences or regulatory elements. In some embodiments, a nucleic acid construct is an RNA molecule formed after transcription of DNA. In the context of the present disclosure, a nucleic acid construct comprises a recombinant nucleotide sequence, which consists essentially of, and optionally includes, one, two, three or more isolated nucleotide sequences: a 5'UTR, an open reading frame (ORF) and a 3'UTR. In embodiments relating to a construct that includes two or more sequences, the sequences are operably linked to each other in the construct.
[0108] "Derived sequence" refers to a nucleotide sequence that is highly homologous to the UTR sequence of the present disclosure (e.g., has at least 80%, 85%, 88%, 90%, 93%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 100% identity to the UTR sequence of the present disclosure) and still retains a similar functional activity to the UTR sequence of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the derived sequence is a nucleotide sequence obtained by substituting, deleting, or adding one or more nucleotides based on the native UTR sequence. In some embodiments, the derived sequence is a nucleotide sequence obtained by truncating the native UTR sequence.
[0109] "Operably linked" is defined herein as the following structure: the control sequences, a promoter sequence and / or a 5'UTR sequence, are appropriately positioned relative to a coding DNA sequence such that the control sequences direct the transcription of the coding sequence and the translation of mRNA into a polypeptide sequence encoded by the coding DNA.
[0110] "Open reading frame" is abbreviated as "ORF" and refers to a segment or region of a nucleic acid sequence that encodes a polypeptide. An ORF contains consecutive, non-overlapping, in-frame codons that begin with an initiation codon in an mRNA sequence and end with a termination codon, and is translated by the ribosome.
[0111] "Endogenous" refers to any substance that originates from or is produced within an organism, cell, tissue, or system.
[0112] "Exogenous" refers to any substance introduced or produced from outside an organism, cell, tissue, or system.
[0113] "Sequence of identity" or "sequence identity" refers to sequence identity at the nucleotide or amino acid level between genes or proteins, respectively. "Sequence of identity" or "sequence identity" is a measure of identity at the amino acid level between proteins and between nucleic acids at the nucleotide level. Sequence identity of proteins can be determined by comparing the amino acid sequence at a given position in each sequence when aligning the sequences. Similarly, sequence identity of nucleic acids can be determined by comparing the nucleotide sequence at a given position in each sequence when aligning the sequences. Methods for aligning sequences for comparison are well known in the art, and such methods include GAP, BESTFIT, BLAST, FASTA, and TFASTA. In some embodiments, the method for aligning sequences is BLAST, and the BLAST algorithm calculates the percentage of sequence identity to statistically analyze the similarity between two sequences. Software for performing BLAST analysis is publicly available from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) website.
[0114] "Homology" or "homology" is defined as the percentage of nucleotide residues that match the nucleotide residues in the corresponding sequence in the target chromosome after aligning the sequences and, if necessary, introducing gaps to achieve the maximum sequence identity percentage. The alignment of the homology percentage of nucleotide sequences can be achieved by various methods within the scope of the art, for example, by publicly available computer software such as BLAST, BLAST-2, ALIGN, ClustalW2 or Megalign (DNASTAR) software. Those skilled in the art can determine the appropriate parameters for aligning sequences, including any algorithms required to achieve maximum alignment over the entire length of the sequences to be compared. In some embodiments, for example, a nucleic acid sequence (e.g., a DNA sequence) of a homologous arm is considered to be "homologous" if it is at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99% or more identical to the corresponding native or unedited nucleic acid sequence (e.g., genomic sequence) of the host cell.
[0115] A "substitution" is defined as a change in an amino acid or nucleotide sequence that occurs by replacing one or more amino acids or nucleotides with different amino acids or nucleotides, respectively, compared to the amino acid or nucleotide sequence of a reference polypeptide. If the substitution is conservative, the amino acid substituted in the polypeptide has similar structure or chemical properties (e.g., charge, polarity, hydrophobicity, etc.) as the substituted amino acid. In some embodiments, a polypeptide variant may have "non-conservative" changes, in which the substituted amino acid differs in structure and / or chemical properties.
[0116] A "deletion" is defined as a change in an amino acid or nucleotide sequence such that one or more amino acids or nucleotide residues, respectively, are deleted compared to a reference polypeptide amino acid or nucleotide sequence. In the case of a polypeptide or polynucleotide sequence, a deletion may affect the deletion of 2, 5, 10, up to 20, up to 30, or up to 50 or more amino acids or nucleotide residues, taking into account the length of the modified polypeptide or polynucleotide sequence.
[0117] An "insertion" or "addition" refers to a change in amino acid or nucleotide sequence that results in the addition of one or more amino acid or nucleotide residues, respectively, compared to the amino acid or nucleotide sequence of a reference polypeptide. An "insertion" usually refers to the addition of one or more amino acid residues (or nucleotide residues in a polynucleotide) to the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide, although an "addition" can also refer to an insertion or an amino acid residue added to the N- or C-terminus of a polypeptide (or a nucleotide residue added to the 5' or 3' terminus of a polynucleotide). In the case of a polypeptide or polynucleotide sequence, an insertion or addition can be up to 10, up to 20, up to 30, up to 50 or more amino acids (or nucleotide residues).
[0118] "Codon optimization" refers to replacing codons present in a target sequence that are generally rare in highly expressed genes of a given species with codons commonly found in highly expressed genes of this species, such that the codons before and after the replacement code for the same amino acid. Each species exhibits specific preferences for certain codons for specific amino acids. Codon bias (differences in codon usage between organisms) is usually associated with the translation efficiency of messenger RNA (mRNA), which is believed to depend in particular on the properties of the codons being translated and on the availability of specific transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules. The dominance of the selected tRNA in a cell is generally a reflection of the codons most commonly used in peptide synthesis. Thus, based on codon optimization, a gene can be modified for optimal gene expression in a given organism. Thus, optimal codons are selected according to the codon usage preferences of the host genome.
[0119] A "cell" or "host cell" includes any cell type susceptible to transformation, transfection, transduction, etc., with a nucleic acid construct or vector according to the present disclosure. As non-limiting examples, a host cell may be an isolated primary cell, a pluripotent stem cell, a CD34+ cell, an induced pluripotent stem cell, or any one of a number of immortalized cell lines (e.g., HepG2 cells). Alternatively, a host cell may be an in situ or in vivo cell in a tissue, organ, or organism.
[0120] "Treatment" refers to, for example, administering an oral or topical therapeutic agent comprising a composition of any one of the nucleic acid constructs disclosed herein to a patient, the patient having one or more disease symptoms, the therapeutic agent being known to have a therapeutic effect on those symptoms. Typically, the patient or population being treated is administered an amount of therapeutic agent that effectively relieves one or more disease symptoms, thereby inducing the resolution of those symptoms or inhibiting those symptoms from progressing to any clinically measurable extent. The amount of therapeutic agent that effectively relieves any particular disease symptom (also referred to as a "therapeutically effective amount") can vary depending on a variety of factors, including the disease state, age and weight of the patient, and the ability of the drug to produce the required therapeutic effect in the patient. Reduction of disease symptoms can be assessed by any clinical detection method commonly used by physicians or other professional health care providers to assess the severity or progression of the condition.
[0121] An "effective amount" or "pharmaceutical effective amount" includes an amount sufficient to ameliorate or prevent a symptom or condition of a medical disease. An effective amount also refers to an amount sufficient to permit or facilitate diagnosis. The effective amount used in a particular patient or veterinary subject can vary depending on factors such as, for example, the condition being treated, the overall health of the patient, the route and dose of administration, and the severity of side effects. An effective amount may be the maximum dose or dosing regimen that avoids significant side effects or toxic effects. In some embodiments, an "effective amount" is a dose of RNA effective to generate an antigen-specific immune response.
[0122] The term "pharmacologically acceptable" means that the therapeutic agents, materials, compositions and / or dosage forms are, within the scope of reasonable medical judgment, applicable for contact with the tissues of a patient without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response or other problem or complication, and are effective for the desired use, with a reasonable benefit / risk ratio.
[0123] "Polypeptide" and "protein" have the same meaning and may be used interchangeably.
[0124] "Subject" refers to a mammal, including, but not limited to, humans, rodents (mice, rats, guinea pigs), dogs, horses, cows, cats, pigs, monkeys, chimpanzees, etc. Preferably, the subject is a human. Working Example
[0125] The present disclosure will be further described below with reference to examples, but these examples do not limit the scope of the present disclosure. Experimental methods for which specific conditions are not specified in the examples of the present disclosure generally follow standard conditions, such as those in the Cold Spring Harbor Antibody Technology Experiment Manual and the Molecular Cloning Manual, or conditions suggested by raw material or product manufacturers. Reagents for which a specific source is not specified are standard commercially available reagents. Example 1. Screening of 5'UTR and 3'UTR
[0126] In order to screen for 3'-untranslated region elements (3'UTR elements) and 5'-untranslated region elements (5'UTR elements) capable of improving protein expression efficiency, this example screened UTR sequences in housekeeping gene mRNAs.
[0127] First, 301 candidate human housekeeping genes, including Abhd16a, were determined from the database (https: / / esbl.nhlbi.nih.gov / helixweb / Database / NephronRNAseq / Housekeeping_Genes.html). Then, the expression levels of the above genes were analyzed by bioinformatics methods to rank the expression levels, and gene transcripts and UTR sequence information were obtained. Furthermore, UTR elements were screened according to the gene expression level and UTR sequence length to obtain multiple candidate UTR sequences, from which 33 5'UTRs numbered A1 to A33 and 14 3'UTRs numbered B1 to B14 were screened to obtain the origins and sequence numbers of the genes, as shown in Tables 1 and 2.
[0128] Table 1. New 3'UTRs obtained by screening [Table 1] Table 2. New 5'UTRs obtained by screening [Table 2] Example 2. Preparation of mRNA
[0129] In order to obtain mRNA stably expressing the 5'UTR and 3'UTR elements, the UTRs obtained by screening in Example 1 were constructed into a DNA vector for in vitro transcription. The vector contains a T7 promoter, a sequence (SEQ ID NO: 126) encoding Firefly Luciferase (Fluc) as an open reading frame (ORF), and a polyadenylic acid (polyA) sequence followed by a restriction site for linearization vector. The polyA is selected from A120 (i.e., 120 consecutive adenyl acids) or A30L70 (SEQ ID NO: 52). The 5'UTR and 3'UTR element constructs were constructed at the 5' and 3' ends of the open reading frame ORF (Fluc) with suitable enzyme cleavage sites, respectively. Examples of the constructed vectors are shown in Figures 1A to 1C, and the combination of the 5'UTR and 3'UTR can be seen in Table 3.
[0130] The control vectors used in this example included Mod.-120A (sequence number 53), in which polyA is A120, Mod.-A30L70 (sequence number 54), and BioN.-A30L70 (sequence number 55), in which polyA is A30L70, and the target gene in each case was Fluc constructed by total gene synthesis. Various UTR elements were constructed in the above vectors by enzymatic digestion, among which, for vectors V-B1 to V-B14, the construction vector was Mod.-120A, AgeI and SacII were selected as the enzymatic digestion sites, and their polyA was A120 in both cases, and the control used was Mod.-120A (SEQ ID NO: 53); for vectors V-A1 to V-A14, the construction vector was Mod.-120A (SEQ ID NO: 53), BamHI and NheI were selected as the enzymatic digestion sites, and their polyA was A120 in both cases, and the control used was also Mod.-120A (SEQ ID NO: 53); for vectors V-A15 to V-A14, the construction vector was Mod.-120A (SEQ ID NO: 53), BamHI and NheI were selected as the enzymatic digestion sites, and their polyA was A120 in both cases, and the control used was also Mod.-120A (SEQ ID NO: 53); In vector 33, the construction vector was Mod.-A30L70 (sequence number 54), BamHI and NheI were selected as the enzyme cleavage sites, and the polyA was A30L70 in both cases, and the control used was Mod.-A30L70 (sequence number 54); in vectors V-A1-B12, V-A1-B13, and V-A1-B14, the construction vector was Mod.-A30L70 (sequence number 54), BamHI and SacII were selected as the enzyme cleavage sites, and the polyA was A30L70 in both cases, and the controls used were Mod.-A30L70 (sequence number 54) and BioN.-A30L70 (sequence number 55). The inserted UTR element gene fragments were all synthesized by whole gene synthesis (Suzhou Jinweizhi Biotechnology Co., Ltd.), and the fragments were linked to the corresponding vectors by enzymatic digestion. After the vector construction was completed, it was necessary to carry out enzymatic digestion, sequencing and identification. If it was determined to be correct, it was used in the next experiment.
[0131] Table 3. Combination methods of 5'UTR and 3'UTR in vectors [Table 3-1] [Table 3-2]
[0132] The vectors (i.e., DNA templates) in Table 3 were digested by restriction endonuclease treatment to linearize the DNA templates, and then transcribed in vitro with T7-RNA polymerase. For in vitro transcription, T7 RNA polymerase (Roche), the corresponding reaction buffer, pyrophosphatase, RNase inhibitor, and NTPs were used. To effectively cap the RNA, the cap analog ARCA (3'-O-Me-m) was added to the reaction. 7 ARCA was selected for capping for the RNA production used in Figures 2 to 5, and CleanCap was selected for capping for the RNA used in Figures 6 to 9. At the same time, in order to reduce the immunogenicity of mRNA and improve translation efficiency, all of the mRNAs in the present disclosure are modified with nucleic acid to replace all of the uridine triphosphate (Uridine triphosphate, abbreviated as UTP) in the reaction system with N1-methyl-pseudouridine triphosphate (N1-methyl-pseudouridine triphosphate, abbreviated as 1m-ψUTP, purchased from ThermoFisher), and the modification method is referred to in Patent US2014 / 0194494 A1. After incubating the in vitro transcription system at 37°C for 2.5 h, RNA was purified by carboxylated magnetic beads (Invitrogen), resuspended in ribozyme-free water, and analyzed spectrophotometrically on a 5200 Bioanalyzer (Agilent) to assess RNA concentration and quality. Target mRNA was obtained by detection.
[0133] The sequences from 5'UTR to polyA of Mod. of the present disclosure are shown in SEQ ID NOs: 53 and 54, and the sequence from 5'UTR to polyA of BioN. is shown in SEQ ID NO: 55. The 5'UTR and 3'UTR sequences in Mod. are consistent with the sequences in Moderna's patents and published literature (US10849920B2, WO2013151667A1, US10730924B2, DOI:10.1016 / j.cell.2017.02.017), and the 5'UTR and 3'UTR sequences of BioN. are according to patent WO2018 / 160540.
[0134] The V-B1 linearized sequence is shown by way of example, with the sequence from 5'UTR to polyA being shown in sequence number 56, and the V-A1 linearized sequence, from 5'UTR to polyA being shown in sequence number 57. Example 3. Functional verification of 5'UTR, 3'UTR, and their combination
[0135] In this example, the function of the UTR was verified using an mRNA lipid-transfected luciferase expression system.
[0136] Experimental method: Human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293, purchased from ATCC) were cultured at 4 × 10 4 The cells were seeded in a 96-well plate at a density of 100 cells / well. The next day, transfection was performed using Lipofectamine® MessengerMAX® mRNA transfection reagent, and 100 ng of the capped mRNA prepared in Example 2 above was transfected into each well. Six hours after transfection, fresh medium was replaced. 100 μL of medium was aspirated and 50 μL of luciferase substrate was added, and the luminescence intensity was detected using a PerkinElmer multifunction plate reader. The experimental methods for human cervical cancer cells (HeLa, purchased from ATCC) and human lung cancer cells (A549, purchased from ATCC) were the same as those for HEK293.
[0137] Evaluation method: In Tables 4 to 7 and Tables 9 to 11, the expression level of fluorescein in various cell lines of the reference positive control Mod. was set to 1, and the expression levels of various mRNAs were calculated relative to the positive control Mod. In Table 8, the expression level of fluorescein in various cell lines of the reference positive control BioN. was set to 1, and the expression levels of various mRNAs were calculated relative to the positive control BioN. All values in the tables are multiplications of the average detection values.
[0138] 1) Detection of the ability of 3'UTR to regulate target gene expression in various cell lines To verify the ability of different 3'UTRs to regulate target gene expression in different cell lines, mRNA expressing luciferase (Fluc) was produced by the method of Example 2, and the produced RNA was capped with ARCA, with the structure of polyA tail being A120. The RNA was transfected into human HeLa, HEK293 and A549 cells, and the luciferase level was measured 24 hours after transfection, and the results are shown in Table 4 and Figure 2.
[0139] Table 4. Expression levels of luciferase (Fluc) from mRNA with various 3'UTRs (all capped with ARCA, all target genes are Fluc, and all polyA are A120) [Table 4]
[0140] As a result, compared to the Mod. positive control, the 3'UTRs of B1 to B14 had consistent effects on protein expression levels in various cell lines, with no significant differences between the various cell lines (p>0.05), indicating that the 3'UTR elements obtained by screening in the present disclosure have a universal effect on protein expression levels and can be used to improve the protein expression levels of target genes.
[0141] 2) Detection of temporal regulation of 3'UTR target gene expression in cells To detect the ability of various 3'UTRs to regulate the time of target gene expression in cells, the mRNAs in Table 4 were transfected into HEK293 cells, and the expression levels of luciferase were measured 6 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h after transfection, and the results are shown in Table 5 and Figure 3.
[0142] Table 5. Expression levels of luciferase (Fluc) from mRNAs with various 3'UTRs [Table 5]
[0143] As a result, in HEK293 cells, modification of 3'UTR elements can affect the expression level of target proteins. Except for the B5-3'UTR element, the other 3'UTR elements can all increase the protein expression level by more than 1.2 times, and there are significant differences at different detection time points (p<0.05). Among them, the 3'UTR elements of B12, B13 and B14 have the best effect, which can increase the protein expression level by more than 2 times and has good temporal continuity.
[0144] 3) Detection of the regulation of 5'UTR on target gene expression in cells In order to detect the ability of various 5'UTRs to regulate the expression time of target genes in cells, mRNA expressing luciferase (Fluc) was prepared and obtained by the above method, among which the RNA used in Table 6 and Figure 4 was capped with ARCA and the structure of polyA tail was A120, and the RNA used in Table 7 and Figure 5 was capped with CleanCap and the structure of polyA tail was A30L70. The RNA produced above was transfected into HEK293 cells, and the expression level of luciferase was measured 6h, 24h, 48h and 72h after transfection, and the results are shown in Table 6, Table 7 and Figure 4 and Figure 5.
[0145] Table 6. Expression levels of luciferase (Fluc) from mRNA with various 5'UTRs (all capped with ARCA, all target genes are Fluc, and all polyA are A120) [Table 6] Table 7. Expression levels of luciferase (Fluc) from mRNA with various 5'UTRs (capped with CleanCap, all target genes are Fluc, and polyA is A30L70) [Table 7]
[0146] Figure 4 and Figure 5 show the screening of various capping methods and polyA tail structures, respectively, and the results show that the modification of 5'UTR elements in various screening vectors can affect the expression level of target proteins, and 5'UTR elements have versatility in improving the expression level of target proteins. Among them, 5'UTR elements of numbers A1, A3-A7, A9-A16, A18, A21, A24, A27, A28, A32, A33 can all improve the protein expression level by more than 1.2 times, and there are significant differences at the detection time points of 24h, 48h, and 72h (p<0.05), among which, 5'UTR elements of A1, A15, A16, and A18 have the best effect, which can improve the protein expression level by more than 2 times and has good temporal continuity.
[0147] 4) Detection of modulation of target gene expression intensity of candidate 5'UTR compared to positive control BioN. vector In order to detect the ability of various candidate 5'UTRs to regulate the expression intensity of target genes compared to the positive control BioN. vector, the above-screened preferred 5'UTR elements A1, A15, A16, and A18 were constructed into a vector containing the A30L70 polyA tail element, and mRNA expressing luciferase (Fluc) was produced by the above-mentioned method and transfected into HEK293 cells, and the expression level of luciferase was measured 6 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h after transfection. The results are shown in Table 8 and Figure 6.
[0148] Table 8. Expression levels of luciferase (Fluc) from mRNA with various 5'UTRs (capped with Cleancap, all target genes are Fluc, and polyA is A30L70) [Table 8]
[0149] As a result, all of the candidate 5'UTR elements were able to increase the protein expression level by at least 1.2-fold at 24 h and 48 h compared to the BioN. vector, and all of the differences were significant (p<0.05).
[0150] 5) Detection of the regulation of target gene expression by various combinations of 5'UTR and 3'UTR in cells To study the effect of various 5'-UTR and 3'UTR combinations on target protein expression in mRNA, mRNAs containing various combinations of 5'UTR and 3'-UTR elements were compared with the 5'UTR and 3'UTR selected by Moderna, and the results are shown in Table 9 and Figure 7.
[0151] Table 9. Expression levels of mRNA with various combinations of 5'UTR and 3'UTR (capped with Cleancap, all target genes are Fluc, and polyA is A30L70) [Table 9]
[0152] As a result, the combination of 5'UTR and 3'-UTR elements screened in the present disclosure can improve protein expression levels by 1.3 times or more at the detection time points of 24h, 48h and 72h compared to the 5'UTR and 3'UTR elements selected by Moderna, and all of the differences are significant (p<0.05). The target proteins in 1) to 5) above are all luciferase (Fluc), and the target protein in 6) below is a secreted protein (e.g., hHGF, anti-PD-1 antibody).
[0153] 6) Detection of the regulation of secretory target protein expression by various combinations of 5'UTR and 3'UTR To study the effect of various 5'-UTR and 3'UTR combinations on mRNA expression of secreted proteins, we constructed mRNAs whose target proteins expressed by the ORFs were human hepatocyte growth factor (hHGF) or anti-PD-1 antibody.
[0154] The amino acid sequence of the above hHGF is shown in SEQ ID NO: 109, its DNA sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO: 110, and after codon optimization, mRNA OS1, OS2, and OS3 are obtained, the optimized codon sequences of which are shown in SEQ ID NOs: 129 to 131.
[0155] The heavy and light chain amino acid sequences of the above PD-1 antibody are shown in SEQ ID NOs: 117 and 118, respectively, the heavy and light chain DNA sequences are shown in SEQ ID NOs: 119 and 120, respectively, and the heavy and light chain mRNA sequences are shown in SEQ ID NOs: 121 and 122, respectively.
[0156] First, in order to improve the translation efficiency of hHGF protein, the present disclosure performs codon optimization on the nucleotide sequence of wild-type hHGF (SEQ ID NO: 110), and the optimized sequences include hHGF-OS1 (SEQ ID NO: 111), hHGF-OS2 (SEQ ID NO: 112) and hHGF-OS3 (SEQ ID NO: 113), and the corresponding mRNA sequences are shown in SEQ ID NOs: 129 to 131, respectively. The above-mentioned natural hHGF and the hHGF sequence with the optimized codon sequence were constructed into a vector to produce mRNA. The expression level of hHGF protein was detected by ELISA, and it was proved that the hHGF codon-optimized sequence can improve the expression level of hHGF protein.
[0157] hHGF-OS2 expression mRNA containing various combinations of 5'UTR and 3'-UTR elements (corresponding DNA sequence is SEQ ID NO: 112) was compared with hHGF-OS2 expression mRNA Mod. (hHGF) containing various combinations of 5'UTR and 3'UTR elements from Moderna (corresponding DNA sequence is SEQ ID NO: 114). The above hHGF-encoding mRNA was transfected into HEK293 cells, and the supernatant was collected 6 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h after transfection to detect the expression level of hHGF protein by ELISA to evaluate the increase / prolongation of HGF expression by the candidate vector. The results are shown in Table 10 and Figure 8A.
[0158] Table 10. Target protein expression levels of mRNA with various combinations of 5'UTR and 3'UTR (capped with Cleancap, all target genes are hHGF, and polyA is A30L70) [Table 10]
[0159] Full-length anti-PD-1 antibody expression mRNAs containing various combinations of 5'UTR and 3'UTR elements (corresponding DNA sequences are SEQ ID NO: 124-125) were compared with Moderna's full-length anti-PD-1 antibody expression mRNAs containing various combinations of 5'UTR and 3'UTR elements (corresponding DNA sequence is SEQ ID NO: 123). The mRNAs encoding full-length anti-PD-1 antibody were transfected into HEK293 cells, and the supernatants were collected 6 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h after transfection to detect the expression level of anti-PD-1 antibody by ELISA to evaluate the increase / prolongation of anti-PD-1 antibody expression by the candidate vectors. The results are shown in Table 11 and Figure 8B.
[0160] Table 11. Target protein expression levels of mRNA with various combinations of 5'UTR and 3'UTR (capped with Cleancap, target genes are heavy and light chains of anti-PD-1 antibody, polyA is A30L70) [Table 11]
[0161] As shown by the above results, after continuous expression of secretory protein hHGF and anti-PD-1 antibody for 72 hours, the combination of 5'UTR and 3'UTR screened in the present disclosure can significantly improve the expression level of secretory protein compared with the 5'UTR and 3'UTR elements selected by Moderna (p<0.05). Example 4. Verification of hHGF protein expression in mice using hHGF-expressing mRNA
[0162] To confirm the ability of the mRNA molecule m-A16-B12(hHGF) (corresponding DNA sequence is SEQ ID NO: 127) to express hHGF in animals, the mRNA was delivered by lipid nanoparticle LNP (containing 50 mol% ionizable lipid (SM-102), 10 mol% DSPC, 38.5 mol% cholesterol, 1.5 mol% PEG-DMG), and the same lipid nanoparticle LNP was used in Examples 5 and 6 below. The positive control was Collategene plasmid (AnGes), administered as a naked plasmid. Balb / c mice (6-8 weeks, male) were randomly divided into 4 groups of 33 mice each, and various doses of m-A16-B12 (hHGF) and Collategene plasmid were intramuscularly injected into the gastrocnemius muscle of the mice. According to the scheme in Table 12, the experimental group was 1) injected with 1.0 μg / mouse m-A16-B12 (hHGF), 2) injected with 0.3 μg / mouse m-A16-B12 (hHGF), 3) injected with 0.1 μg / mouse m-A16-B12 (hHGF), and 4) injected with 200 μg / mouse Collategene naked plasmid. Mouse gastrocnemius muscle specimens were obtained at 1h, 2h, 4h, 6h, 24h, 48h, 72h, 96h, 168h, 216h and 336h, and the muscle tissue was homogenized and dissolved in RIPA lysis solution containing protease inhibitors, centrifuged to obtain the supernatant, and the hHGF protein concentration was measured using a BCA protein concentration measurement reagent kit, and the expression level of hHGF was evaluated by ELISA. The data for each group were shown as mean ± standard deviation (Mean ± SD), and plotted and statistically analyzed using the software Graphpad Prism 9.0.
[0163] Table 12. Grouping of m-A16-B12 (hHGF) and Collategene in the experiment of expressing hHGF in vivo [Table 12]
[0164] As shown in Figure 9A, the experimental results showed that m-A16-B12(hHGF) was able to express hHGF protein 1 hour after intramuscular injection, and reached its peak expression 6 hours after injection, demonstrating dose-dependence. As shown in Figure 9B, Collategene reached its peak expression 7 days after injection, m-A16-B12(hHGF) showed low protein expression 48 hours after delivery, and m-A16-B12(hHGF) at a dose of 1 μg / mouse had protein expression levels equivalent to Collategene at 72 hours. At the same time, the PK data for each group was statistically analyzed, and it was found that even the lowest dose of m-A16-B12(hHGF) at 0.1 μg had a high protein expression level. max was more than 5 times that of Collategene, and 0.1 μg of m-A16-B12 (hHGF) had an AUC inf(hr*pg / mg protein) The results are comparable to those of Collategene (Table 13). Therefore, m-A16-B12 (hHGF) can achieve highly efficient expression of hHGF in animals, and hHGF expression was not detected in plasma at each time point.
[0165] Table 13. Results of in vivo hHGF expression by m-A16-B12 (hHGF) and Collategene [Table 13] Example 5. Verification of therapeutic function of hHGF-expressing mRNA in a mouse model of hindlimb ischemia
[0166] The mouse model of hindlimb ischemia is a classical mouse model that simulates human severe hindlimb ischemia. Male Balb / c mice aged 6 to 8 weeks were used for the modeling. The method is as follows: 1) The animal was anesthetized and placed on the operating table in a supine position, the hindlimbs were completely depilated, the hindlimbs were fixed, and the skin at the surgical site was disinfected. 2) An approximately 1 cm skin incision was made from the knee toward the inner thigh, and the subcutaneous adipose tissue was incised and dissected in sequence to fully expose the femoral artery. 3) The membranous femoral sheath was carefully punctured with curved micro scissors to expose the neurovascular bundle, and the proximal end of the femoral artery, femoral vein, and nerve near the groin were separated, and after clean separation, the proximal end of the femoral artery was ligated with a 6-0 suture below the proximal end of the femoral artery. 4) The femoral artery and femoral vein were isolated at their distal ends near the knee, and the end of the femoral artery was ligated to the proximal end of the popliteal artery with a 6-0 suture below the distal end. 5) The wound was sutured.
[0167] m-A16-B12 (hHGF) was delivered using the LNP in Example 4 as a vector, and Collategene was administered in the form of a naked plasmid. Mice with hindlimb ischemia model were randomly divided into 4 groups of 5 mice each, and m-A16-B12 (hHGF) and Collategene naked plasmid were intramuscularly injected into the gastrocnemius muscle of the mice. The experiment was divided into 1) a group injected with 500 ng / mouse m-A16-B12 (hHGF), 2) a group injected with 50 ng / mouse m-A16-B12 (hHGF), 3) a group injected with 200 μg / mouse Collategene naked plasmid, and 4) a group injected with an equal volume of PBS as a control group. The day the model was constructed was counted as day 0. The condition of the legs was observed on days 0, 4, 7, 10, 12, and 14 after treatment for each experimental group. The blood flow and perfusion status of the mice's lower limbs was detected using a blood flow meter and photographed to record.
[0168] The blood perfusion ratio of each group was calculated according to the formula: Blood perfusion ratio = Lower limb blood perfusion volume of the mouse on the day / Lower limb blood perfusion volume of the mouse on day 0 × 100%, and the data of each group was shown as mean ± standard deviation (Mean ± SD) and plotted and statistically analyzed using the software Graphpad Prism 9.0.
[0169] As a result, as shown in Figures 10A and 10B, when treated with 50ng / mouse, 500ng / mouse m-A16-B12 (hHGF) and 200ng / mouse Collategene naked plasmid, the blood flow perfusion ratio of the ischemic lower limbs of each mouse was significantly improved compared to the control group, and the blood flow perfusion ratio of the ischemic lower limbs was gradually restored over time. Among them, the group injected with 50ng / mouse m-A16-B12 (hHGF) showed a blood flow recovery effect similar to the group injected with 200ng / mouse Collategene naked plasmid, and in particular, the group injected with 500ng / mouse m-A16-B12 (hHGF) showed a significantly better blood flow recovery effect than the 200ng / mouse Collategene naked plasmid group, and the blood flow perfusion status was restored to more than 90%.
[0170] To further confirm the therapeutic effect of m-A16-B12 (hHGF) on the degree of necrosis of the lower limbs in a mouse model of lower limb ischemia, the state of the mouse legs was observed, photographed, and recorded on the 14th day after administration, and the degree of necrosis of the lower limbs of the mice was scored according to the criteria shown in Figure 11A, where the criteria used in this case are as follows: 0 = spontaneous detachment of the lower limbs, 1 = necrosis of the legs, 2 = necrosis of the feet, 3 = discoloration of two or more toes, 4 = discoloration of one toe, 5 = discoloration of two or more nails, 6 = discoloration of one nail, and 7 = no necrosis. The data of each group was shown as mean ± standard deviation (Mean ± SD) and plotted and statistically analyzed using the software Graphpad Prism 9.0.
[0171] As a result, as shown in FIG. 11B, after inducing hindlimb ischemia in mice, obvious ischemic necrosis occurred in the hindlimb of the control group mice within 2 weeks after surgery, and by the 14th day, the hindlimb of some mice had been completely lost. However, in the treatment groups injected with m-A16-B12 (hHGF) and Collategene naked plasmid, the hindlimb of each mouse was able to maintain good integrity and no necrosis was observed in the hindlimb, demonstrating that m-A16-B12 (hHGF) has the same ability to improve hindlimb ischemia as the control Collategene naked plasmid.
[0172] CD31 is an important marker of angiogenesis, and to confirm the effect of m-A16-B12 (hHGF) in promoting angiogenesis in a mouse model of hindlimb ischemia, samples of the gastrocnemius muscle near the mouse ischemic tissue were taken on the 14th day after administration, paraffin sections were prepared, and CD31 in the sections was immunohistochemically stained with CD31 antibody, photographed, and analyzed with ImageJ (NIH) software to calculate the stained area of CD31. The data for each group were shown as mean ± standard deviation (Mean ± SD), and plotted and statistically analyzed using the software Graphpad Prism 9.0.
[0173] As a result, as shown in FIG. 12, when 50ng / mouse or 500ng / mouse of m-A16-B12 (hHGF) and 200ng / mouse of Collategene naked plasmid were administered for treatment, angiogenesis in the ischemic lower limb muscles of each group was significantly promoted, and the number of newly formed blood vessels was statistically significantly different from the PBS group (p<0.05). The 50ng / mouse m-A16-B12 (hHGF) group showed angiogenesis promotion effect equivalent to that of 200ng / mouse of Collategene naked plasmid, and the m-A16-B12 (hHGF) administration group showed a dose-dependent angiogenesis promotion state. Example 6. Verification of therapeutic function of hHGF-expressing mRNA in a Db / Db mouse model with total cortical injury
[0174] The Db / Db mouse model is a classic diabetic mouse model, and because it is a leptin receptor gene-deficient mouse, the mouse showed similar characteristics to diabetic patients, such as hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and insulin resistance, as the mice grew older. This experiment simulated the difficult-to-heal skin damage of diabetic foot patients using a full cortical injury model. The method for producing the above Db / Db mouse model was as follows: Db / Db mice were anesthetized, depilated with depilatory cream, and disinfected with 75% alcohol cotton balls. A full-thickness skin wound was created in the lumbar region using a biopunch, a skin harvester with a diameter of 8 mm.
[0175] To confirm the therapeutic effect of m-A16-B12 (hHGF) on wound healing in a mouse model of total cortical injury, m-A16-B12 (hHGF) was delivered by LNP in Example 4, and control Collategene was administered in the form of naked plasmid, with the administration method being subcutaneous injection at 4 separate points. Db / Db mice in the total cortical injury model were divided into 5 groups of 7 mice each according to body weight and blood glucose level. The experiment was divided into 1) a group injected with 500ng / mouse of m-A16-B12 (hHGF), 2) a group injected with 200ng / mouse of m-A16-B12 (hHGF), 3) a group injected with 50ng / mouse of m-A16-B12 (hHGF), 4) a group injected with 200μg / mouse of Collategene naked plasmid, and 5) a control group injected with an equal volume of PBS. The day the model was constructed was counted as day 0. After treatment for each experimental group, the wound healing status was observed on days 0, 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, and 14, respectively. Photographs of the wounds were taken and the images were analyzed using ImageJ (NIH) software to calculate the wound area.
[0176] The wound healing percentage was calculated according to the formula P = (AD-A0) / A0 x 100% (P: wound healing percentage, AD: wound area on the day of photography, A0: wound area on the day after surgery).
[0177] The percentage of wound healing for each group was expressed as the mean ± standard deviation (Mean ± SD) and plotted and statistically analyzed using the software Graphpad Prism 9.0.
[0178] As a result, as shown in FIG. 13, the wounds of the mice injected with 50 ng / mouse, 200 ng / mouse, and 500 ng / mouse of m-A16-B12 (hHGF) and 200 μg / mouse of Collategene naked plasmid were all better healed than the control group. Moreover, m-A16-B12(hHGF) showed dose-dependent promotion of wound healing in mice. On the 14th day, the wound healing rate of m-A16-B12(hHGF) at a dose of 50ng / mouse reached 66%, while m-A16-B12(hHGF) at doses of 200ng / mouse and 500ng / mouse achieved 100% wound healing. Furthermore, the wound healing promotion of m-A16-B12(hHGF) was significantly superior to that of 200μg / mouse Collategene naked plasmid (p<0.05), and even the low dose (50ng / mouse) of m-A16-B12(hHGF) showed a wound healing percentage that was significantly different from that of 200μg / mouse Collategene naked plasmid (p<0.05).
[0179] To confirm the therapeutic effect of m-A16-B12 (hHGF) on tissue reconstitution in a mouse model of total cortical injury, epithelial regeneration and tissue reconstitution were evaluated by Masson staining. On the 17th day after administration, whole mouse cortical specimens were obtained, paraffin sections were prepared, and mouse skin tissue was stained by Masson staining.
[0180] As a result, as shown in Figure 14, under the treatment of m-A16-B12 (hHGF), the wound epithelium of each group of mice achieved full epithelial coverage, and the low-dose group showed abnormally thickened epithelium and collagen proliferation at the wound site, while the medium and high-dose groups showed normal epithelial thickness recovery, regular collagen arrangement, and tissue reconstruction. On the other hand, the control group and the 200μg / animal Collategene naked plasmid group did not achieve epithelial re-coverage, and collagen abnormally proliferated and structure was disrupted at the wound site.
