[Background technology]

[0002] Antibodies are known to have powerful therapeutic effects and are used to treat a variety of diseases, including cancer, autoimmune diseases, and cardiovascular diseases. They are currently used to treat a range of diseases, including cancer, osteoporosis, and transplant rejection. The antibodies are produced recombinantly, formulated, and then administered to patients in need of antibody therapy. However, antibody production and formulation are expensive. In addition, many antibodies are not fully understood in vivo. and therefore have a very short half-life when they reach their target antigen or target tissue. To achieve the desired efficacy, antibody therapeutics often require high High doses and frequent dosing are required. Genetic vaccination, also known as gene therapy and DNA vaccination, involves the administration of large amounts of However, the use of drugs in gene therapy provides an alternative method for delivering antibodies to the The use of DNA as a vaccine and genetic vaccination raises several safety concerns. For example, DNA is slowly degraded in the bloodstream, and anti-DNA antibodies may form. (Gilkeson et al., J. Clin. Invest. 1999) 95, 95:1398-1402). There is a possibility that (foreign) DNA may remain in the body. This may lead to hyperactivation of the immune system, which causes splenomegaly in mice. It was known that the anticoagulation effect was r Drug Res. 1997, 12(5):421-432). Insertions can cause mutations in the host genome by disrupting intact genes. There is.

[0003] [Non-Patent Document 1] Gilkeson et al.,J.Clin.Invest.1995,95:1398-1402 [Non-Patent Document 2] Montheith et al.,Anticancer Drug Res.1997,12(5):421-432 Summary of the Invention [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] The present invention is based on messenger RNA (mRNA) delivery technology to improve the expression of antibodies in vivo. The present invention provides a better method for safely and effectively delivering antibody heavy and light chains. By delivering exogenous mRNA encoding the heavy and light chains, Even when delivered by ELISA, production of fully assembled multichain antibodies can be achieved in vivo. The present invention is based in part on the surprising discovery that the method of the present invention can be used to treat a wide variety of conditions, as illustrated by the non-limiting examples set forth below in the Examples section. As shown, mRNA constructs encoding the heavy and light chains were encapsulated in liposomes and expressed in mice. When the mRNA was injected intravenously into the mouse, the desired antibody was expressed in the mouse within 6 hours of injection. Substantial amounts can be detected in serum, peaking at 72 or 96 hours. The effect persisted even 3 weeks after injection. Thus, the present inventors demonstrated that a multi-chain therapeutic antibody can be delivered by mRNA and produced by the patient's body itself, thereby reducing the high costs We have successfully demonstrated that the recombinant antibody production process can be omitted. In contrast to the transient and fragile nature of A, antibodies generated from mRNA are surprisingly long-lasting. The transient nature of mRNA also allows for efficient systemic distribution.

Selection of cationic lipids, non-cationic lipids, and / or PEG-modified lipids comprising nanoparticles The relative molar ratios of such lipids to one another will depend on the properties of the lipids selected, the intended target cell, The nature of the cells and the properties of the mRNA to be delivered. Additional considerations include, for example, The saturation of the chains and the size, charge, pH, pKa, and fusogenicity of the selected lipids are considered. enicity, and toxicity.

[0113] The liposomal transfer vehicles used in the compositions of the present invention can be prepared using a variety of techniques currently known in the art. Multilamellar vesicles (MLVs) can be prepared by conventional techniques, e.g., by dissolving the lipid in a suitable solvent. by dissolving the substances and then evaporating the solvent inside the container to leave a thin film. The lipids are prepared by depositing the lipid of choice onto the inner walls of a suitable container by means of either spray drying or spray drying. The aqueous phase may then be added to the vessel with vortexing, which results in the formation of MLVs. The unilamellar vesicles (ULVs) may then be homogenized, sonicated, or otherwise processed into multilamellar vesicles. In addition, unilamellar vesicles can be formed by detergent removal techniques. It can be achieved.

[0114] In certain embodiments of the invention, the compositions of the invention comprise a transfer vehicle, and the mRNA is transferred to a transfer vehicle. They may also be associated with the surface of the vehicle and may also be encapsulated within the same vehicle. During preparation, cationic liposomal transfer vehicles associate with mRNA through electrostatic interactions. For example, during the preparation of the compositions of the present invention, the cationic liposomal transfer excipient may be electrostatically It may associate with the mRNA through interactions.

[0115] Suitable liposomal delivery vehicles according to the present invention may be made in a variety of sizes. The size selection depends on the location of the target cell or tissue and, to some extent, on the type of liposome being produced. In some embodiments, the suitability of the liposomal delivery vehicle may be taken into consideration. An appropriate size is selected to promote systemic distribution of the antibody encoded by the mRNA. In some embodiments, transfection of mRNA is performed in a given cell or tissue. For example, it may be desirable to limit the size of the liposomal transfer vehicle to the liver. The size of the liposomal transfer vehicle was adjusted so that it was smaller than the fenestrations in the endothelial layer covering the hepatic sinusoids. may be tailored to target hepatocytes; accordingly, liposomal transfer vehicles may be used to target such endothelial The fenestrations can easily penetrate the target hepatocytes. The vehicle is selected so that the size of the liposomes is of sufficient diameter to restrict distribution to a given cell or tissue. For example, liposomal transfer vehicles may be sized to specifically avoid or Its dimensions are larger than the fenestrations in the endothelial layer lining the hepatic sinusoids, thereby allowing liposomes to reach hepatocytes. The particles may be sized to limit the distribution of the mucosal transfer excipient.

[0116] In some embodiments, suitable liposomal delivery vehicles are those having a diameter of about 250 nm (e.g., about 225nm, 200nm, 175nm, 150nm, 125nm, 100nm, 75nm In some embodiments, the suitable liposomes have a size of less than or equal to 50 nm. The somatic delivery vehicle may be in the range of about 250-10 nm (e.g., about 225-10 nm, 20 0~10nm, 175~10nm, 150~10nm, 125~10nm, 100~10 Some of the particles have sizes ranging from 10 to 75 nm, 10 to 75 nm, or 10 to 50 nm. In embodiments, suitable liposomal delivery vehicles have a particle size in the range of about 250 to 100 nm (e.g., Approximately 225~100nm, 200~100nm, 175~100nm, 150~100nm In some embodiments, suitable liposomal delivery vehicles include In the range of about 100 to 10 nm (e.g., about 90 to 10 nm, 80 to 10 nm, 70 to 10 nm The nanoparticles have sizes ranging from 100 to 200 nm, 60 to 10 nm, or 50 to 10 nm.

[0117] To adjust the population size of the liposomal transfer vehicle, various alternatives known in the art can be used. Alternative methods are available. One such sizing method is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,737,323. and is incorporated herein by reference. (Probe) By sonicating the liposome suspension, the diameter of the liposomes was approximately 0. A gradual reduction in size occurs down to small ULVs smaller than .05 microns. Homogenization is performed on large Another method relies on shear energy to break down vesicles into smaller ones. A typical homogenization procedure produces a homogenized sample of selected liposomes, typically about 0.1 to 0.5 microns in size. Recirculate the MLVs through a standard emulsion homogenizer until size is observed. The size of somatic vesicles is determined by the method described in Bloomfield, An n.Rev.Biophys.Bioeng.,10:421-150(1981). As described in the publication, quasi-electric light scattering (QLS) The average liposome diameter may be determined by the quantification of liposome size (QELS). This can be reduced by sonication of the liposomes. Thus, intermittent sonication cycles may be alternated with QELS assessments.

[0118] In vivo expression of RNA-encoded antibodies In accordance with the present invention, the mRNA encoding the antibodies (e.g., heavy and The mRNA encoding the light chain and the light chain are then synthesized to produce the complete desired antibody in vivo. Thus, the compound may be delivered to a subject in need thereof with or without a delivery vehicle.

[0119] In some embodiments, the desired antibody encoded by the mRNA is expressed systemically in the subject. This means that the cells or tissues that initially express the antibody and enter the circulatory system of the subject are This can be achieved by secreting the fully assembled antibody from the cell. The composition of the present invention, which contains the mRNA and a liposomal excipient, distributes in the cells of the liver. and delivering the mRNA contained in the composition by cells of the liver (e.g., hepatocytes). The target hepatocytes produce the fully assembled desired antibody. The biological "reservoir" or "antibody" can be produced and secreted to produce systemic distribution of antibodies. In other embodiments, cells other than hepatocytes (e.g., lung cells) may function as a "reservoir." cells of the spleen, heart, eye, or central nervous system serve as reservoirs for protein production. Typically, the antibody can act as a continuous release agent for fully assembled antibodies from a reservoir or reservoir cells. Production and secretion results in efficient systemic distribution.

[0120] In some embodiments, mRNA encoding the desired antibody is administered systemically to the patient's serum (i.e. The expression of the drug in the blood is more than 1 hour, more than 4 hours, or more than 6 hours after administration. longer, longer than 12 hours, longer than 18 hours, longer than 24 hours, longer than 30 hours , more than 36 hours, more than 42 hours, more than 48 hours, more than 54 hours, more than 60 hours longer than 66 hours, longer than 72 hours, longer than 96 hours, longer than 120 hours Longer, longer than 144 hours, longer than 168 hours, longer than 2 weeks, longer than 3 weeks, In some embodiments, the mRNA can be detected for more than one month, or for more than two months. The serum concentrations of the antibody encoded by the antibody were measured at approximately 6, 12, 18, and 24 hours after administration. 30 hours, 36 hours, 42 hours, 48 ​​hours, 54 hours, 60 hours, 66 hours, 72 hours Peak levels are reached at 78, 84, 90, or 96 hours. In this embodiment, sustained circulation of the desired antibody encoded by the mRNA is observed. For example, the antibody encoded by the mRNA may be expressed systemically in the serum (i.e., blood) of a patient. What is happening is after administration, 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, It may be detectable for a month, two months, or longer.

[0121] In some embodiments, the mRNA encoding the heavy and light chains of the antibody is expressed intracellularly in the antibody. It may be delivered to a target cell or tissue for expression or local distribution. Typically, The antibodies produced in the target cells are released into the surrounding extracellular fluid without entering the bloodstream or other circulatory systems. As used herein, the term "target cell" refers to a molecule that is secreted into or distributed locally to the target cell. "Target tissue" or "cell" refers to the cell or tissue to which the mRNA encoding the antibody is directed. For example, if it is desired to deliver mRNA to liver cells, then liver cells may be The mRNA encoding the antibody (e.g., heavy and light chains) described herein is used to target cells. The mRNA encoding the , hepatocytes, epithelial cells, hematopoietic cells, epithelial cells, endothelial cells, lung cells, bone cells, stem cells, mesenchymal Cells, nerve cells (e.g., meninges, astrocytes, motor neurons, dorsal root ganglia and anterior horn motor neurons) Neuronal cells), photoreceptor cells (e.g., rods and cones), retinal pigment epithelial cells, secretory cells alveolar cells, cardiac cells, adipocytes, vascular smooth muscle cells, cardiac muscle cells, skeletal muscle cells, β cells, pituitary cells , synovial lining cells, ovarian cells, testicular cells, fibroblasts, B cells, T cells, reticulocytes, white blood cells The antibody may be delivered to lymphocytes, granulocytes, and tumor cells.

[0122] Delivery of mRNA to target cells or tissues can be achieved through both passive and active targeting techniques. This may be achieved by a number of steps. The phenomenon of passive targeting occurs when a metastatic vehicle is introduced by a target cell. The present invention provides a method for enhancing metastatic potential in vivo without resorting to the use of additional excipients or means for enhancing the recognition of the metastatic potential. Take advantage of the vehicle's natural distribution pattern, e.g., by being phagocytosed by cells of the reticuloendothelial system The metastatic excipients tend to accumulate in the liver or spleen and therefore are highly sensitive to the delivery of the composition to such target cells. The therapeutic agent may provide a means for passively directing the delivery of the therapeutic agent.

[0123] Alternatively, delivery of mRNA to target cells or tissues can be achieved by active targeting. This may be achieved by binding (either covalently or non-covalently) to a transfer vehicle. "Targeting" agents that can facilitate the localization of such metastatic vehicles in a given target cell or tissue. These include the use of additional excipients referred to herein as "targeting ligands." The targeting comprises the introduction of one or more endogenous targeting ligands in or on the transfer vehicle. The drug is delivered to target cells or tissues via the inclusion of a phosphodiesterase (e.g., apolipoprotein E). The recognition of the targeting ligand by the target tissue may facilitate the distribution of the target cells and Actively assess the tissue distribution and cellular uptake of the transfer vehicle and / or its contents in tissues promotes the transfer of apolipoprotein E targeting to the metastatic vehicle (e.g., The inclusion of the binding ligand binds to endogenous low-density lipoproteins expressed by hepatocytes. (facilitating recognition and binding of the transfer vehicle to the receptor). As described herein, The composition may include a ligand that can increase the affinity of the composition to a target cell. The targeting ligand can be attached to the outer bilayer of the lipid particle during or after formulation. These methods are well known in the art. In addition, some lipid particles The formulation may be a fusogenic polymer, such as PEAA, hemagglutinin, or other lipopeptides (U.S. Pat. No. 6,313,621). See U.S. Patent Application Nos. 08 / 835,281 and 60 / 083,294, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference), and are useful for in vivo and / or intracellular delivery. In some other embodiments, the compositions of the present invention may be used. The present invention provides a method for improving transfection efficiency and / or enhancing the transfection efficiency of a target cell or tissue of interest. Thus, the composition and its components can be used to target cells or tissues. One or more ligands (e.g., peptides) that can improve the affinity of the nucleic acid to the target nucleic acid. Compositions containing the agonist, aptamer, oligonucleotide, vitamin, or other molecule are contemplated. The suitable ligand may optionally be bound or coupled to the surface of the transfer vehicle. In some embodiments, the targeting ligand may coat the surface of the metastatic vehicle, but not the metastatic vehicle. The appropriate ligand may be encapsulated in a vehicle, depending on its physical, chemical, or biological properties. Physical properties (e.g., selective affinity and / or recognition of target cell surface markers or features) The cell-specific target sites and their corresponding targeting ligands are selected based on a wide range of Suitable targeting ligands are chosen based on the unique characteristics of the target cells. , so that the composition is selected to be able to distinguish between target cells and non-target cells. For example, the composition of the present invention includes a compound that selectively enhances recognition of or affinity for hepatocytes. A surface label that allows for the uptake of the antibody (e.g., apolipoprotein B or apolipoprotein E) ( The improvement can be achieved, for example, by using receptor-mediated recognition and binding to such surface labels. In addition, galactose was used as a targeting ligand. The presence of a sugar moiety is believed to target the composition of the present invention to hepatocytes. When mannose, which is a targeting ligand, is used, the composition of the present invention can be used to target the liver endothelium. It is thought that the receptors target the asialoglycoproteins present in hepatocytes. or mannose containing sugar residues that can preferentially bind to the mannose receptor). llery AM, et al.“Drug Delivery and Targe ting: For Pharmacists and Pharmaceutical Scientists” (2002) Taylor & Francis, Inc. Such conjugated components present in the transfer vehicle (e.g., lipid nanoparticles) may be used.
