[0148] Example 21 Measurement of the in vivo expression effect of luciferase mRNA delivered by tail vein injection of the nano-lipid particle composition 6 - 8-week-old BALB / c mice were injected with 5 μg of LUC-mRNA-lipid nanoparticles containing mRNA adjusted in the same manner as in Example 19 (the nucleotide sequence corresponding to LUC-mRNA refers to SEQ ID NO:1 in Patent Publication CN114380724A) via the tail vein. At specific time points, 100 μg of D-Luciferin Potassium Salt was injected into the mice via the tail vein and detected using a PerkinElmer small animal imaging system. Fluc is generally used in mammalian cell cultures to measure gene expression and cell activity and emits bioluminescence in the presence of the substrate luciferin. The basic characteristics of the mRNA used were an ARCA cap structure, a polyA tail length of 100 - 120 nt, and complete substitution with pseudouridine. The results, as shown in Figure 1, indicate that the nano-lipid particle composition consisting of the compounds designed in the present invention delivered mRNA to the liver at levels almost equivalent to or higher than those of DLin-MC3-DMA, and some compounds were superior to Lipid M.

Blood was collected on day 28 (14 days after the secondary immunization), and the neutralizing antibody titer was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to evaluate the protective effect of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine delivered by different nanolipid particle compositions against SARS-CoV-2 virus strain infection.

Example 24 Delivery of the novel coronavirus mRNA vaccine to the lungs by the nano-lipid particle composition According to Example 20, more lipid nanoparticles were produced to verify the immune effect by delivering the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine to the lungs. Eight-week-old BALB / c mice were immunized by nebulizing 2 μg of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (Omicron antigen mRNA, the corresponding nucleotide sequence refers to SEQ ID NO:6 of Patent Publication CN114380724A) delivered by different nanolipid particle compositions to the lungs on day 0. Blood was collected on day 14, and the binding antibody titer was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to evaluate the protective effect (the results were shown in Figure 4) of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine delivered by different nanolipid particle compositions against SARS-CoV-2 virus strain infection. As can be seen from the results, the binding antibody titer by the compound of the present invention was improved to be superior to Lipid 5.

The results are shown in Table 2.

[0155]
Table 4
[0156] Note that due to different experimental lots, the data of the encapsulation rate and particle size DPI in Table 3 are different from those in Table 1.
[0157] As can be seen from the above table, the above compound has a high encapsulation rate, uniform particle size, and the delivery efficiency of Luciferase mRNA into the body is much higher than that of the commercially available lipid DLin - MC3 - DMA.
[0158] Example 27 Study on the expression efficiency by cationic lipid proteins In this example, the in vivo transfection effects of erythropoietin (EPO) with different cationic lipids were compared. The nanoparticles were prepared in the same manner as in Example 20. The nucleotide sequence corresponding to EPO mRNA was referred to CN114380724B, SEQ ID NO:2. After production, 20 μg of EPO-mRNA-lipid nanoparticles were injected into the tail vein of 6-8-week-old female Balb / c mice. Six hours later, blood was collected from the canthus of the mice, and after centrifuging the serum, the expression level of EPO protein was measured by ELISA. The mRNA used was characterized by an ARCA cap structure, a polyA tail length of 100 - 120 nt, and fully substituted pseudouridine. The production and protein detection results are shown in Table 4.
[0159]
Table 5
[0160] Note: Due to different experimental lots, the data of encapsulation efficiency and particle size DPI in Table 4 are different from those in Table 1 and Table 3.
[0161] As can be seen from the above table, the above compound has a high encapsulation efficiency, a uniform particle size, and a much higher protein translation efficiency for delivering EPO mRNA into the body than the commercially available lipid DLin-MC3-DMA.
[0162] Example 28 Study on the abnormal toxicity by cationic lipids In this experiment, the nanoparticles produced in Example 27 were used. Female SD rats weighing 200 - 250 g were injected via the tail vein at a dose of 5 mg / kg, and the mice in the control group were injected with the corresponding volume of physiological saline. The mice in the DLin - MC3 - DMA group died within 18 h after injection. For the other mice, there were no abnormal manifestations in terms of body weight, food intake, and activity status during the observation period. This indicated that the DLin - MC3 - DMA lipid had stronger toxicity. Blood was collected 120 h after injection, and alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and creatinine (SCR) were detected using an automatic biochemical analyzer as liver and kidney function evaluation indicators. As can be seen from the results in Figure 5, for the lipids of No. 35 (Compound 35) and No. 51 (Compound 51), the BUN value decreased slightly (however, all values were within the healthy normal index range), and for the other lipid nanoparticles, the other indicators did not show obvious fluctuations. Therefore, such cationic lipids do not affect liver and kidney functions, have low toxicity, and are applicable for use in the protein replacement pipeline.
[0163] Example 29 Comparison of the intratumoral injection effect by the nano-lipid particle composition In the production of Example 20, lipid nanoparticles encapsulating different types of luciferase mRNA were produced. On the right flank of 6 - 8 - week - old female C57BL6 mice, 5 × 10 5 cells of B16F10 (derived from the Cell Bank of Chinese Academy of Sciences, CSTR:19375.09.3101MOUTCM36) / mouse were subcutaneously injected, and tumor growth was regularly observed and recorded. On the 8th day after tumor inoculation, the tumor length (L, mm) and width (D, mm) were measured with calipers, and the tumor volume (V) was calculated according to the formula V = (L × D 2 ) / 2. When the tumor volume was 80 - 120 mm 3Mice were randomly grouped, and 24 hours after injecting 25 μL / 2.5 μg of lipid nanoparticles encapsulating different types of luciferase mRNA into the tumor, the fluorescence intensities of the mouse liver and tumor (shown in Figures 6 and 7) were detected by anatomical imaging. As can be seen from the results, the intensities in the tumors of Compounds 35 and 51 were higher and those in the liver were lower. It was shown that it was applicable to the encapsulation and delivery of some nucleic acid drugs related to tumor treatment because of its better in situ expression effect in the tumor and lower liver metastasis.
