Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] Cross-reference of related applications This application asserts the interests under Section 119(e) of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 493,686, filed on 31 March 2023, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
[0002] field This disclosure relates, in general terms, to methods for generating coated organelle complexes, coated organelle complexes obtained by such methods, and uses of coated organelle complexes obtained by such methods. [Background technology]
[0003] Explanation of related technologies Mitochondria are intracellular organelles responsible for several metabolic transformations and regulatory functions. They produce the majority of the ATP used by eukaryotic cells. The folded inner and outer membranes, as well as the electron transport system located within the inner membrane, play crucial roles in mitochondrial function. The inner membrane forms highly folded structures called crystals, which are thought to maintain a high proton concentration by holding a supercomplex of the electron transport system within the crystal membrane and trapping excited protons in the crystal space. The electrochemical proton gradient created by the electron transport system enables anion transport, as well as ATP synthesis and cation transport.
[0004] Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles that move across cells, undergo structural transfers, and change their length, morphology, shape, and size. Furthermore, mitochondria are continuously removed and regenerated in a process known as mitochondrial biogenesis. While most mitochondrial genes are transferred to the nuclear genome, the mitochondrial genome still encodes rRNA, tRNA, and 13 subunits of the electron transport chain (ETC). Therefore, functional transfer between the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes is essential for mitochondrial biogenesis, efficient oxidative phosphorylation, and normal health. Mitochondria are also a major source of free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) that cause oxidative stress. In addition, mitochondria play a crucial role in intracellular signaling, as well as in the regulation of cell death, including apoptosis and necrosis.
[0005] There is growing evidence linking mitochondrial dysfunction to a wide range of human diseases. Mitochondrial dysfunction, such as respiratory chain complex dysfunction, is a major cause of mitochondrial diseases and aging. When mitochondrial function declines, it affects cells in many organs, primarily those involved in mitochondrial diseases or age-related disorders. Introducing exogenous mitochondria into target cells where needed is a promising approach to treat or prevent multiple diseases and disorders. However, there is a need for populations containing mitochondria (e.g., organelle complexes) with enhanced stability, functionality, pharmacodynamic control, and targeting.

[0028] The following detailed description refers to the accompanying drawings which form part of this specification. In the drawings, similar symbols typically identify similar components unless otherwise indicated in the context. The exemplary embodiments described in the modes of carrying out the invention, drawings, and claims are not intended to limit the invention. Other embodiments may be used and other modifications may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the subject matter presented herein. It will be readily understood that the aspects of this disclosure generally described herein and shown in the drawings can all be arranged, substituted, combined, separated, and designed in a wide variety of different configurations which are expressly intended herein and form part of this disclosure.
[0029] All patents, published patent applications, other publications, and sequences from GenBank, as well as other databases referenced herein, are incorporated by reference in their entirety with respect to the relevant technology.
[0030] Unless otherwise defined, the technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as generally understood by those skilled in the art. See, for example, Singleton et al., Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology 2nd ed., J. Wiley & Sons (New York, NY 1994) and Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning, A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Press (Cold Spring Harbor, NY 1989). For the purposes of this disclosure, the following terms are defined below.
[0031] As used herein, “isolated” shall have its usual meaning and shall also refer to a substance or entity that (1) has been isolated from at least a portion of the associated components when it was first produced (in nature or in an experimental environment), and / or (2) has been produced, prepared, and / or manufactured by human hands. In some embodiments, isolated mitochondria or isolated organelle complex populations are processed to obtain them from the cellular environment via methods provided herein.
[0032] As used herein, the term “mitochondria” has its usual meaning and refers to an organelle present in eukaryotic cells having a bilayer lipid membrane, an inner membrane and an outer membrane, and a matrix surrounded by the cristae membrane and inner membrane. Mitochondria (one or more mitochondria) have enzymes on their inner membrane, such as the respiratory chain complex, which is involved in oxidative phosphorylation. The inner membrane has a membrane potential due to the in-and-out-in In some embodiments, the organelle complex does not contain cytoplasmic macromolecules. In some embodiments, the organelle complex population includes homogenized mitochondria. As used herein, the term “population” shall give its ordinary meaning and shall also refer to a group of multiple identical or different substances. For example, “organelle complex population” is a group of at least multiple identical or different organelle complexes. The population may not always be homogeneous and may have physical, chemical, and / or physiological distributions. Physical distributions include, for example, particle size and polydispersity index. Chemical distributions include, for example, zeta potential distribution and lipid composition distribution. Physiological distributions include, for example, differences in physiological function (e.g., respiratory activity). The organelle complex population may include a first organelle complex, a second organelle complex, homogenized mitochondria, or any combination thereof.As used herein, the term “homogenized mitochondria” shall have its usual meaning and shall refer to mitochondria isolated via a method comprising one or more homogenization steps.
[0033] As used herein, the term “surfactant” shall have its usual meaning and refer to a molecule having both a hydrophilic and a hydrophobic portion in a single molecule. Surfactants play a role in mixing polar and nonpolar substances by reducing surface tension at the interface or by forming micelles. Surfactants are broadly classified into nonionic surfactants and ionic surfactants. Nonionic surfactants have a hydrophilic portion that is not ionized, while ionic surfactants have a hydrophilic portion that is cationic, anionic, or both cationic and anionic. As used herein, the term “critical micelle concentration” (CMC) shall have its usual meaning and refer to the concentration at which a surfactant forms micelles, and at which further surfactant added to the system contributes to micelle formation, particularly in bulk. Adding a surfactant to a system at a concentration exceeding the critical micelle concentration ideally increases the amount of micelles, particularly the number of micelles.
[0034] As used herein, “subject” refers to an animal that is the subject of treatment, observation, or experimentation. “Animals” include cold-blooded and warm-blooded vertebrates, as well as invertebrates, such as fish, mollusks, reptiles, and mammals in particular. As used herein, “mammal” refers to an individual belonging to the class mammal, including, but not limited to, humans, domesticated and livestock animals, zoo animals, sports and pet animals. Examples of mammals include, but not limited to, mice, rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, dogs, cats, sheep, goats, cattle, horses, as well as primates such as monkeys, chimpanzees and apes, and humans in particular. In some embodiments, the mammal is a human. However, in some embodiments, the mammal is not a human. As used herein, the term “host cell” is given its usual meaning and also refers to in vivo cells, in vitro cells, and / or ex vivo cells in which the incorporation of exogenous mitochondria and / or coated organelle complexes is intended.
[0035] As used herein, the term “treatment” refers to an intervention undertaken in response to a disease, disorder, or physiological condition manifesting in a patient. The objectives of treatment include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: alleviation or prevention of symptoms, delay or cessation of the progression or worsening of the disease, disorder, or condition, and remission of the disease, disorder, or condition. The terms “to treat” and “treatment” include, for example, therapeutic measures, preventive treatments, and uses that reduce the risk that a subject will develop a disorder or other risk factor. Treatment does not require a complete cure of the disorder and encompasses embodiments that reduce symptoms or underlying risk factors. In some embodiments, “treatment” refers to both therapeutic measures and preventive measures or preventive means. Subjects requiring treatment include subjects already affected by a disease or disorder or an undesirable physiological condition, as well as subjects for whom the disease or disorder or undesirable physiological condition is to be prevented. As used herein, the term “prevention” refers to any activity that reduces the burden on individuals who later develop those symptoms. This can be done at the primary, secondary, and / or tertiary prevention levels, where a) primary prevention avoids the onset of symptoms / disorders / conditions, b) secondary prevention targets the initial stages of treatment for conditions / disorders / symptoms, thereby increasing opportunities for interventions that prevent progression of conditions / disorders / symptoms and the appearance of symptoms, and c) tertiary prevention reduces the adverse effects of already established conditions / disorders / symptoms, for example, by restoring function and / or reducing any conditions / disorders / symptoms or associated complications. The term “prevents” does not require 100% elimination of the possibility of an event. Rather, it indicates that the likelihood of the event occurring is reduced in the presence of the compound or method. Where used herein, the term “effective dose” refers to a quantity sufficient to produce beneficial or desirable biological and / or clinical outcomes.
[0036] As used herein, the term “contact” shall have its usual meaning and also refer to placing two or more entities in such close proximity that they actually come into physical contact with each other, for example, by combining two or more entities (e.g., coated organelle complexes and host cells). Contacting may include co-incubation. Contacting may be done in vitro, in sights, or in vivo. In some embodiments, contacting two entities includes the incorporation (e.g., transplantation) of one entity into another entity that is in physical contact. Contacting coated organelle complexes with a population of host cells may include contacting a population of coated organelle complexes with a population of host cells. Contacting coated organelle complexes with a population of host cells can generate a population of host cells containing exogenous organelle complexes. By contacting coated organelle complexes with a population of host cells, the coated organelle complexes provided herein can be incorporated into the host cells.

The coated organelle complex population can be administered locally or systemically.
[0076] As used herein, the terms “local administration” or “topic administration” refer to a route of administration in which a population of coated organelle complexes comes into contact with the body of an individual, and the resulting location of the coated organelle complexes within the body is local (limited to a specific tissue, organ, or other body part for which imaging is desired). Exemplary routes of topic administration include injection into a specific tissue with a needle, gastric tube feeding into the gastrointestinal tract, and spreading a solution containing a population of coated organelle complexes on a skin surface.
[0077] As used herein, the term “systemic administration” refers to a route of administration in which the coated organelle complex comes into contact with the body of an individual, and the resulting location of the coated organelle complex within the body is systemic (i.e., not limited to a specific tissue, organ, or other body part for which imaging is desired). Systemic administration includes enteral and parenteral administration. Enteral administration is a systemic route of administration in which the substance is delivered via the gastrointestinal tract and includes, but is not limited to, oral administration, administration via gastrofeeding tube, administration via duodenal feeding tube, gastrostomy, enteral nutrition, and rectal administration. Parenteral administration is a systemic route of administration in which the substance is delivered via a route other than the gastrointestinal tract and includes, but is not limited to, intravenous administration, intra-arterial administration, intramuscular administration, subcutaneous administration, intradermal administration, intraperitoneal administration, and intravesical instillation.
[0078] In another aspect, the Disclosure provides pharmaceutically acceptable compositions comprising a therapeutically effective amount of the coated organelle complex disclosed herein.

As used herein, the term “therapeutic dose” may refer to the amount of coated organelle complex disclosed herein that is effective in producing some desired therapeutic effect, for example, cancer treatment, in a reasonable benefit / risk ratio.
[0079] In this specification, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable” is used to mean, within reasonable medical judgment, those drugs, materials, compositions, and / or forms of administration that are suitable for use in contact with human and animal tissues, without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic reactions, or other problems or complications, and that are commensurate with a reasonable benefit / risk ratio.
[0080] As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” means a pharmaceutically acceptable material, composition, or vehicle, such as a liquid or solid filler, vehicle, excipient, solvent, or encapsulating material, that is involved in transporting or carrying the chemical substance of interest from one organ or part of the body to another. Each carrier must be “acceptable” in the sense that it is compatible with the other components of the formulation and is not harmful to the subject. Some examples of materials that can function as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include: (1) sugars, e.g., lactose, glucose, and sucrose; (2) starches, e.g., corn starch and potato starch; (3) cellulose and its derivatives, e.g., sodium carboxymethylcellulose, ethylcellulose, and cellulose acetate; (4) powdered tragacanth; (5) bakuga; (6) gelatin; (7) talc; (8) excipients, e.g., cocoa butter and suppository wax; (9) oils, e.g., peanut oil, cottonseed oil, safflower oil, sesame oil, olive oil, corn oil.

The formulations may, conveniently, be presented in unit dosage forms and may be prepared by any method well known in the field of pharmaceuticals. The amount of active ingredient (e.g., a population of coated organelle complexes) that can be combined with a carrier material to produce a single dosage form will vary depending on the host being treated and the specific mode of administration. Generally, the amount of active ingredient that can be combined with a carrier material to produce a single dosage form is generally the amount of coated organelle complexes that produce the therapeutic effect. Generally, out of 100 percent, this amount is in the range of about 1% to about 99%, preferably about 5% to about 70%, and most preferably about 10% to about 30% of the active ingredient.
[0082] In addition to the active agent, the suspension may contain suspending agents such as ethoxylated isostearyl alcohol, polyoxyethylene sorbitol and sorbitan esters, microcrystalline cellulose, aluminum metahydroxide, bentonite, agar and tragacanth, and mixtures thereof.

[0087] These compositions may contain adjuvants such as preservatives, humectants, emulsifiers, and dispersants. Prevention of microbial activity can be ensured by including various antimicrobial and antifungal agents, such as parabens, chlorobutanol, and phenolsorbic acid. It may also be desirable to include isotonic agents such as sugars and sodium chloride in the composition. In addition, the inclusion of absorption-delaying agents such as aluminum monostearate and gelatin can result in prolonged absorption of the injectable drug form.
[0088] The actual dose levels of the active ingredients in the pharmaceutical compositions of this disclosure may be determined by the methods of this disclosure to obtain the amount of the active ingredients, which are non-toxic to the subject and effective in achieving the desired therapeutic response for a particular subject, composition, and mode of administration.

[0090] Some aspects of the embodiments described above are disclosed in more detail in the following embodiments and are not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure.
[0091] Example 1 Coated organelle complex strategy To increase the selectivity of organelle complexes for organs / cells and to promote the stability of isolated organelle complexes, this embodiment evaluates coating of the mitochondrial outer membrane. For example, in some embodiments, lipids conjugated with biosoluble polymers (PEGs) are inserted into the mitochondrial outer membrane. Figure 1 shows a non-limiting exemplary schematic diagram of coated mitochondria provided herein. Coating with lipid-polymer conjugates disclosed herein can increase physical stability against external stimuli. In some embodiments, without being constrained by any particular theory, the use of lipid-polymer conjugates provided herein can improve the stability of mitochondria in solution by increasing dispersion. Furthermore, coating the mitochondrial membrane with specific ligands such as specific tissues, cell surfaces, and cell penetration-oriented molecules can, in some embodiments, lead to mitochondrial pharmacodynamic control.
[0092] Various methods for inserting lipid-polymer conjugates (e.g., PEG-lipids) into the mitochondrial outer membrane were investigated. The approach tested was pipetting (a gentle mixing method), which could include gently mixing an excess amount of PEG-conjugate lipid with mitochondria at room temperature for 15 minutes. This approach allows for the passive insertion of the lipid portion of the PEG-conjugate lipid into the mitochondrial outer membrane (e.g., an approach similar to liposome (lipid nanoparticle) modification). In this example, the use of DMG-PEG2000(C14) and DSPE-2000(C18) was evaluated. 1,2-Dimiristoyl-sn-glycerol,methoxypolyethylene glycol 2000 (DMG-PEG 2000) has DMG as a lipid anchor, which has two anchors, a carbon chain of 14, and no double bond. Distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-methoxypolyethylene glycol 2000 (DSPE-PEG 2000) has DSPE as a lipid anchor, which has two anchors, an 18-carbon chain, and no double bonds. Measurements were performed regarding the diameter for maintaining the original mitochondrial size and the zeta potential for insertion of the PEG lipid into the mitochondria.
[0093] Evaluation of DMG-PEG A gentle mixing method using a pipetting base was employed. Mitochondria were gently mixed with an excess amount of PEG-conjugated lipid at room temperature for 15 minutes. 1–5 mM DMG-PEG (25 μL) was placed in a tube containing 0.1 mg / mL mitochondria (25 μL). After three pipettes using a wide-mouth tip, a 15-minute room temperature incubation was performed to fix the PEG-lipid. Tables 1–2 and Figures 2A–2D show data on the size distribution of isolated mitochondria alone (PEG(-); Figure 2A), DMG-PEG 1 mM (Figure 2B), DMG-PEG 3 mM (Figure 2C), and DMG-PEG 5 mM (Figure 2D). A peak at approximately 10 nm is present, which may be due to PEG-lipid micelles. There was a reduction in zeta potential due to the PEG coating with mitochondria. The detected small particles were hypothesized to be PEG-lipid micelles. [Table 1] [Table 2]
[0094] Evaluation of DSPE-PEG A gentle mixing method using a pipetting base was employed. Mitochondria were gently mixed with an excess amount of PEG-conjugate lipids at room temperature for 15 minutes. 1–5 mM DSPE-PEG (25 μL) was added to a tube containing 0.1 mg / mL mitochondria (25 μL). After three pipettes using a wide-mouth tip, a 15-minute room temperature incubation was performed to fix the PEG-lipids. Tables 3–4 and Figures 3A–3D show data on the size distribution of isolated mitochondria alone (PEG(-), Figure 3A), DSPE-PEG 1 mM (Figure 3B), DSPE-PEG 3 mM (Figure 3C), and DSPE-PEG 5 mM (Figure 3D). A peak was observed at approximately 10 nm, which may be due to PEG-lipid micelles. A slight reduction in zeta potential was observed. The detected small particles were assumed to be PEG-lipid micelles. [Table 3] [Table 4]
[0095] Evaluation of the purification process A purification process to remove excess PEG-lipids (micelles) was evaluated. 1 mM DMG-PEG (100 μL) was added to a tube containing 0.1 mg / mL mitochondria (100 μL). After pipetting three times using a wide-mouth tip, the mixture was incubated at room temperature for 15 minutes to fix the PEG-lipids. After incubation, the mixture was centrifuged at 10,000 g for 10 minutes at 4°C to remove the micelles. After centrifugation, the pellet contained PEG-coated mitochondria, and the supernatant contained PEG-lipid micelles. The supernatant was removed, and the pellet was resuspended in Tris buffer (100 μL). Figures 4A-4B show data regarding the size distribution (Figure 4A) and zeta potential distribution (Figure 4B). A diameter of 375 nm and a zeta potential of -5.8 mV were observed. The zeta potential shifted to neutral due to the fixation of PEG.
[0096] The physicochemical properties of the PEG-coated second organelle complex (second OC;Q) were compared before and after centrifugation. Table 5 and Figures 5A–5C show data for diameter (Figure 5A), PdI (Figure 5B), and zeta potential (Figure 5C) before and after the centrifugation step. [Table 5]
[0097] Next, we compared the physical properties of the PEG-coated second organelle complex (purified) with those of the second organelle complex (control). Table 6 and Figures 6A-6C show data for diameter (Figure 6A), PdI (Figure 6B), and zeta potential (Figure 6C) before and after PEG coating. [Table 6]
[0098] Evaluation of different PEG coating conditions PEG coating was attempted at different temperatures and under different post-coating centrifugation conditions. The mitochondrial concentration was changed from 0.1 mg / mL to 1 mg / mL. In addition, the PEG coating temperature was changed from room temperature to 4°C. Furthermore, the centrifugation speed was changed from 10,000 g to 3,000 g, and the resuspend volume was changed from 100 μL to 1,000 μL. 1 mM DMG-PEG (100 μL) was added to a tube containing 1 mg / mL mitochondria (100 μL). After pipetting three times using a wide-mouth tip, an incubation step was performed at 4°C for 15 minutes to fix the PEG-lipids. After incubation, centrifugation was performed at 3,000 g for 10 minutes at 4°C to remove micelles. After centrifugation, the pellet contained PEG-coated mitochondria, and the supernatant contained PEG-lipid micelles. The supernatant was removed, and the pellet was resuspended in Tris buffer. The reproducibility of the physical properties of PEG-coated mitochondria was confirmed using the above protocol.
[0099] Evaluation of PEG quantity The amount of incorporated PEG was determined using ELISA. PEG content was measured using the ELIZA kit (ENZO PEGylated Protein ELISA Kit) (competitive assay). The amount of PEG coated in mitochondria was estimated. Figure 7 shows data on the PEG content of the control second organelle complex (Q+tris) and the coated second organelle complex (Q+PEG). The following series of calculations were performed: PEG wt / Q wt → 466 nM (50 μL) / 0.1 mg / 1000 μL (50 μL) → 466 × 10⁻¹⁶ -6 nmol / μL(50μL) / 0.1mg / 20→50×466×10 -6 nmol / 5×10 -3 mg → 23.3 × 10 -3 nmol / 5×10 -3mg → 4.66 nmol / mg → 2489 × 4.66 ng / mg → 11598.74 ng / mg → approximately 10 μg / mg. It was determined that the amount of PEG fixed to mitochondria is approximately 10 μg of PEG per 1 mg of mitochondria, and therefore, 1% of the given PEG was fixed to mitochondria by mass.
[0100] Evaluation of mitochondrial function Mitochondrial function was evaluated in intact organelle complex 2 (untreated Q), PEG-coated organelle complex 2 (PEG-Q), and control organelle complex 2 (Tris-Q). The control organelle complex 2 received tris buffer instead of PEG-lipid and underwent centrifugation, supernatant removal, and resuspension. Figures 8A–8B show data on ATP levels (Figure 8A) and outer membrane integrity (Figure 8B) for intact organelle complex 2 (untreated Q), PEG-coated organelle complex 2 (PEG-Q), and control organelle complex 2 (Tris-Q). It was determined that PEG coating did not reduce mitochondrial function.
[0101] Investigation of peptide modifications of pegylated organelle complex 2 Figures 9A-9B are non-limiting, exemplary schematic diagrams showing PEGylated mitochondria, where the PEG-lipid conjugate is peptide-modified (Figure 9A) and the maleimide (mal) group is bound to PEG (Figure 9B). A peptide (e.g., 5-FAM-RRRRRRRRC-NH2) can be added to the lipid-polymer conjugate using the method provided herein. Functional elements (e.g., R8) can be added by utilizing specific chemical reactions between the maleimide functional group in PEG and the SH group in the peptide. Conditions, including temperature, time, and amount of peptide modification during the reaction, were investigated. The physical properties of the peptide-treated second organelle complex were evaluated, and the peptide-treated second organelle complex was assessed by FACS.
[0102] Peptide modifications of the second organelle complex were first investigated at 25°C for 1 hour. Tables 7-8 and Figures 10A-10B show data for the uncoated second organelle complex (Q) (Figure 10A) reacted at 25°C for 1 hour in the presence / absence of the peptide, and for the coated second organelle complex (PEG(mal)-Q) (Figure 10B) reacted with the indicated PEG:peptide molar ratio. No peptide modifications were observed without PEG(mal). However, peptide modifications were observed in PEG(mal)Q (coated second organelle complex). In addition, more peptide modifications were observed with higher doses (molar ratios) of the peptide used. [Table 7] [Table 8]
[0103] Next, peptide modification of PEGylated second organelle complexes at 4°C for 15 minutes to 1 hour was investigated. Tables 9-10 and Figures 11A-11B show data on peptide modification of second organelle complexes at 4°C. Figure 11A shows coated second organelle complexes (PEG(mal)-Q) reacted with the indicated PEG:peptide molar ratio. Figure 11B shows coated second organelle complexes (PEG(mal)-Q) reacted with or without the peptide for the indicated duration. Peptide modification occurred when the reaction was carried out at 4°C. In addition, the higher the dose (molar ratio) of the peptide used, the more peptide modification was observed at 4°C. However, it was found that adjusting the peptide modification time from 15 minutes to 1 hour did not affect the amount of modification at 4°C. [Table 9] [Table 10]
[0104] Next, the physical properties of peptide-modified PEG-Q were investigated. The peptide modification was performed at a ratio of 1:10. 4 The experiment was conducted at 4°C for 15 minutes using the specified PEG:peptide molar ratio. Table 11 and Figures 12A-12C show data for diameter (Figure 12A), PdI (Figure 12B), and zeta potential (Figure 12C) of PEG(mal)-Q (DMG-PEG 2000 maleimide + Q), Pep PEG(mal)-Q (peptide + DMG-PEG 2000 maleimide + Q), Pep PEG-Q (peptide + DMG-PEG 2000 + Q), and Pep-Q (peptide + Q). The zeta potential was found to shift to neutral after the addition of the peptide. [Table 11]
[0105] FAM (fluorescence) detection was performed in a second organelle complex treated with PEG(mal)+ peptide using FAM-conjugate peptides. Table 12 and Figures 13A-13D show FACS data for PEG(mal)-Q (DMG-PEG 2000 maleimide + Q) vs. Pep PEG(mal)-Q (peptide + DMG-PEG 2000 maleimide + Q) (Figure 13A), PEG(mal)-Q vs. Pep PEG-Q (peptide + DMG-PEG 2000 + Q) (Figure 13B), PEG(mal)-Q vs. Pep-Q (peptide + Q) (Figure 13C), and all four modification conditions (Figure 13D). [Table 12]
[0106] Evaluation of uptake by HEK cells Tables 13-15 and Figures 14A-14G show schematic diagrams (Figure 14A) and data (Figures 14B-14G) regarding the uptake of peptide-+PEG coated HEKQ by HEK cells using nrANOVA, followed by SNK test. We first evaluated whether Q (HEKQ / RFP) derived from RFP-labeled mitochondria in HEK cells could be coated with PEG and peptides. Peptide modification was performed at a 1:10 ratio. 4 The procedure was performed at 4°C for 15 minutes using the specified PEG:peptide molar ratio. Figure 14B shows FACS data for peptide(-) versus peptide(+) modification conditions using HEKQ / RFP. [Table 13]
[0107] Next, HEKQ / RFP was coated with PEG and peptides, and its uptake into HEK cells was evaluated (in FBS(+) medium for 6 hours after addition). Figure 14C shows FACS data for pepPEG-HEKQRFP (PEG + peptide HEKQ / RFP), PEG-HEKQRFP (PEG HEKQ / RFP), HEKQRFP (HEKQ / RFP), and untreated (NT). [Table 14] [Table 15]
[0108] Figures 14D-14E show FITC-A(FAM) data, and Figures 14F-14G show PE-A(RFP)FACS data. It was found that peptide-+PEG coated HEKQ was significantly taken up by HEK cells. In addition, uncoated HEKQ was also taken up, but in small amounts. In contrast, PEG-coated HEKQ was not taken up.
[0109] Next, we investigated the effect of incubation time on peptide-modified PEG-Q. Figures 15A-15C show data on the effect of incubation time on the uptake of HEKQ (Figure 15A), PEG-HEKQ (Figure 15B), and PepPEG-HEKQ (Figure 15C). The XG mean of PE-A(RFP) was calculated relative to each other, with untreated (NT) set to 1. Pep PEG-HEKQ uptake increased with longer administration times up to 6 hours, but the XG mean decreased at 24 hours. HEKQ uptake increased with longer administration times, and PEG-HEKQ showed increased uptake 24 hours after administration.
[0110] Finally, the mitochondrial function of peptide-modified PEG-Q was evaluated. ATP was measured using 0.5 mg of protein, and the outer membrane was measured using 1 mg of protein. Protein levels were determined by the Pierce method and found to be as follows: Q, 77.6 ug / mL; PEG-Q, 77.6 ug / mL; peptide-PEG-Q, 103.3 ug / mL. Figures 16A-16D show data on the mitochondrial function of peptide-modified PEG-Q with respect to ATP production (Figures 16A-16B), outer membrane integrity (Figure 16C), and cytochrome C oxidase activity (Figure 16D). It was found that peptide modification did not reduce mitochondrial function. The protein values used for protein correction are high due to the effect of the peptide, which is why ATP appears to decrease with peptide-modified PEG-Q.
[0111] Evaluation of R8-PEG-HEKQ Figure 17 shows data on the uptake of peptide (R8)-modified and PEG-coated HEKQ ("R8-PEG-HEKQ") by HEK cells. Uptake of R8-PEG-HEKQ into HEK cells was examined using flow cytometry at each administration time. HEKQ contained red fluorescent protein (RFP), and the geometric mean (cellular uptake value) of RFP at each administration time (1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 6 hours, and 24 hours) was calculated with NT (untreated) set to 1. As shown in Figure 17, R8-PEG-HEKQ uptake increased over time, reaching maximums at 3 and 6 hours, but the geometric mean decreased at 24 hours.
[0112] The effect of R8-PEG-HEKQ administration on oxygen consumption rate (OCR) was tested using a Flax analyzer (Seahorse assay). The cell seeding volume was 1.6 × 10⁶. 4 Cells were administered in 90 μL / wells, with either unmodified HEKQ or R8-PEG-HEKQ equivalent to 10% of the culture medium, over 24 hours (theoretical mt concentration after administration was 0.01 mg / ml). Overall results are shown in Figure 18A, and basal respiratory rate, respiratory reserve rate, proton leakage rate, and ATP production rate are shown in Figures 18B-18C, respectively.
[0113] The effect of R8-PEG-HEKQ administration on oxygen consumption rate (OCR) was tested using a Flax analyzer (Seahorse assay). The cell seeding volume was 1.6 × 10⁶. 4 Cells were administered in 90 μL / well doses of 0.1 mg / ml R8-PEG-HEKQ over 24 hours. The overall results are shown in Figures 19A-C, where R8-PEG-HEKQ did not increase OCR 24 hours after treatment compared to the untreated (NT) group.
[0114] Evaluation of R8-PEG-HEKQ Peptide (R8)-modified PEG-coated HeLaQ was prepared using the method described herein. R8-PEG-HeLaQ (mt concentration 1 mg / ml) and unmodified HeLaQ (mt concentration 1 mg / ml) were prepared by ultrafiltration.
[0115] The effect of R8-PEG-HeLaQ administration on oxygen consumption rate (OCR) was tested using a Seahorse XF HS Mini Analyzer. The HEK cell seeding volume was 0.9 × 10⁻⁶. 4 Cells were administered in 90 μL / well doses, and R8-PEG-HeLaQ and unmodified HeLaQ were administered at an mt concentration of 0.1 mg / ml over 24 hours. Overall results are shown in Figure 20A, and basal respiratory rate, respiratory reserve rate, proton leakage rate, and ATP production rate are shown in Figure 20B, respectively. As shown in Figures 20A-20B, administration of R8-PEG-HeLaQ significantly increased the OCR of HEK cells compared to both unmodified HeLaQ and blank (NT).
[0116] Supplementary materials and methods Mitochondrial particle size measurement and charge measurement Particle size was measured in a 50 μL suspension of mitochondria (PEG-coated and peptide-modified mitochondria). The particle size measurement conditions were as follows: RI, 1.590; absorbance, 0.010; medium, 250 mM Tris-sucrose buffer; temperature 25.0°C; and viscosity 1.1459 cP, RI 1.342. Charge measurement was performed by resuspending 50 μL of the above suspension in 500 μL of buffer. The charge measurement conditions were as follows: RI, 1.590; absorbance, 0.010; buffer, 250 mM Tris-sucrose; temperature 25.0°C; and viscosity 1.1459 cP, RI 1.342, relative permittivity 78.5. A Zetasizer Nano ZS (Malvern) was used for the measurements.
[0117] Determination of PEG coating quantity using ELISA The ENZO PEGylated Protein ELISA Kit (competitive method) was used for analysis. The 96-well plate included in the kit was used. The following steps were performed: (1) 50 μL / well of sample, followed by 50 μL / well of biotinylated PEG; (2) gently tap the plate and shake at room temperature for 1 hour; (3) aspirate and wash four times with 300 μL / well of wash buffer; (4) 100 μL / well of PEG conjugate, followed by shaking at RT for 30 minutes; (5) aspirate and wash three times with 300 μL / well of wash buffer; (6) 100 μL / well of TMB substrate, followed by shaking at RT for 30 minutes; (7) after adding 100 μL / well of stop solution 2 (1N HCl); and (8) measure the absorbance at 450 nm using a plate reader. Calibration curves were obtained by performing serial dilutions of PEG from 1 mM to 1 nM and following the same procedure as above.
[0118] Assays for ATP production and outer membrane integrity The ATP assay was performed under the following conditions: volume of mitochondrial solution added, 0.5 μg / well (protein quantification by Pierce method); reaction substrate, 10 mM malate / 5 mM glutamate / 0.1 mM ADP / 10 mM Pi / 70 mM KCl; and reaction conditions, room temperature for 10 minutes. For outer membrane integrity measurement, the cytochrome C oxidase assay was performed under the following conditions: volume of mitochondrial solution added, 3 μg / well (protein quantification by Pierce method); and reaction (measurement) temperature, 30°C. Outer membrane integrity was calculated using the following formula (where ε=21.84, L=0.625): Units / mg = (ΔA (w / surfactant)) / (ε × L × applicable protein [mg]); and Outer film integrity (%) = (ΔA (containing surfactant) - ΔA (not containing surfactant)) / (ΔA (containing surfactant)).
