Abstract
Description
A pharmaceutical composition containing a nucleic acid construct and its medical use Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of pharmaceutical preparations, and in particular to a pharmaceutical composition containing a nucleic acid construct, and its medical use. Background Art
[0002] Gene therapy and gene vaccination can provide highly specific and personalized treatment and prevention options for a variety of diseases, including genetic diseases, autoimmune diseases, cancer or tumor-related diseases, and inflammatory diseases.
[0003] Both DNA and RNA can be used for gene therapy or gene vaccination. DNA is stable and easy to handle, but there is a risk that DNA fragments may be inserted into the patient's genome, leading to mutation events (such as loss of function of damaged genes). RNA can avoid undesirable genomic integration, but due to ubiquitous RNases, RNA is easily degraded. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the stability of RNA so that the protein products it encodes accumulate in the body to achieve treatment or prevention of diseases, as well as to maintain the integrity of RNA structure and function during storage and administration. It has been found that naturally occurring eukaryotic mRNA molecules contain stabilizing elements, for example, the untranslated regions (UTRs) at their 5' and 3' ends, as well as other structural features such as 5' cap structures or 3' poly(A) tails. 5' UTR and 3' UTR are premature mRNA elements. During the mRNA processing process, structural features unique to mature mRNA (such as 5' caps and 3' poly(A) tails) are added to the transcribed (premature) mRNA. Regarding the correlation between UTR and mRNA stability, previous studies have shown that the 3'UTR of α-globin mRNA is an important factor in α-globin mRNA stability (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.).
[0004] Peripheral artery disease (PAD) refers to a noncoronary syndrome caused by structural and functional abnormalities in the arteries supplying the limbs, visceral organs, and brain. It is characterized by stenosis, occlusion, and tumor-like lesions in the noncoronary arterial circulation, affecting the aorta and its branches. Among PADs, lower limb ischemia is the most common clinically, with major etiologies including atherosclerosis (ASO), diabetic artery obliterans (DAO), and thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO). Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is a late stage of ASO, and diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a type of DAO. Both are peripheral vascular diseases characterized by lower limb pain, ulcers, and necrosis due to stenosis or occlusion of lower limb vessels and inadequate distal blood perfusion. Currently, effective treatments for CLI and DFU are revascularization through surgery or endovascular intervention. However, over 40% of patients, due to age, comorbidities, and other factors, do not meet the requirements for revascularization and must rely on conservative medication. Medication can only slow the progression of the disease, not cure it.
[0005] Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a multifunctional mesenchymal growth factor. When it binds to the cell membrane surface receptor c-met, it causes intracellular tyrosine phosphorylation, 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. It can promote the proliferation and migration of endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells, promote the reconstruction of microvascular networks in ischemic areas, and inhibit cell apoptosis. Research results show that intramuscular injection of naked plasmid hHGF-cDNA can effectively promote blood perfusion in the ischemic hindlimbs of rats and rabbits (Y Taniyama et al. Therapeutic angiogenesis induced by human hepatocyte growth factor gene in rat and rabbit hindlimb ischemia models: preclinical study for treatment of peripheral arterial disease. Gene Ther. 2001 Feb; 8(3): 181-9). Clinical data show that naked plasmid injection 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, the use of naked plasmids to deliver drugs has disadvantages such as low in vivo transfection efficiency, high dosage burden, high DNA integration risk, and high treatment costs. In addition, clinical data show that it does not improve the toe-brachial index, transcutaneous oxygen partial pressure, and amputation rate. Therefore, there is still much room for improvement in the drug.
[0006] The present disclosure provides such mRNA, which contains a new structure of 5'UTR and 3'UTR, which reduces the early degradation of mRNA or stabilizes the degradation of mRNA without losing or enhancing the efficiency of protein translation. The mRNA has higher stability and can be used in gene therapy and gene vaccination. In addition, the present disclosure provides mRNA capable of expressing human hepatocyte growth factor (hHGF) and its lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery system, which can achieve efficient and rapid conversion of exogenous hHGF protein in vivo, has the advantages of no integration risk and easy industrial-grade amplification, and is a more ideal treatment option than naked plasmids. It can be used as a gene therapy drug for various diseases such as CLI and DFU.

[0496] Figure 9 is a schematic diagram of the experimental results of the present disclosure, showing the changes in hHGF protein expression levels over time in mouse muscle tissue using m-A16-B12 (hHGF) and a control plasmid. The results show that both m-A16-B12 (hHGF) and Collategene plasmids effectively express hHGF protein. m-A16-B12 (hHGF) can express hHGF as early as one hour after intramuscular injection, with peak hHGF expression occurring six hours after injection. This is dose-dependent, and even low doses of m-A16-B12 (hHGF) can achieve comparable expression levels (AUCinf) (hr*pg / mg protein) as Collategene.

Figure 11B shows statistical results demonstrating the effects of m-A16-B12 (hHGF) and Collategene plasmids on lower limb necrosis in a mouse model of lower limb ischemia. The experimental results showed that in the groups treated with m-A16-B12 (hHGF) and Collategene naked plasmids, the lower limbs of all mice remained intact and no lower limb necrosis occurred.
[0499] Figure 12 shows representative photographs and statistical results of the effects of m-A16-B12 (hHGF) and a control plasmid on angiogenesis in a mouse model of lower limb ischemia. The results show that treatment with 50 ng and 500 ng of m-A16-B12 (hHGF) per mouse, as well as 200 ng of Collategene naked plasmid per mouse, significantly promoted angiogenesis in ischemic lower limb muscles.

[0501] Figure 14 shows representative photographs demonstrating the effects of m-A16-B12 (hHGF) and a control plasmid on tissue remodeling in a full-thickness cortical injury Db / Db mouse model. The results show that m-A16-B12 (hHGF) treatment achieved complete epithelial coverage and tissue remodeling in all groups of mice. However, neither the control group nor the 200 μg / mouse Collategene naked plasmid group achieved complete epithelial remodeling, with abnormal collagen proliferation and structural disorganization at the wound site.

[0510] 1. Terminology
[0511] To facilitate understanding of the present disclosure, 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 to which the present disclosure pertains. The three-letter and one-letter amino acid codes used herein are as described in J. Biol. Chem, 243, p3558 (1968).
[0512] "Sequence" should generally be understood to include both the relevant amino acid sequence and the nucleic acid sequence or nucleotide sequence encoding the sequence, unless the present disclosure requires further limited explanation.
[0513] "Homology" or "identity" refers to the sequence similarity between two polynucleotide sequences or between two polypeptides. When a position in the two compared sequences is occupied by the same base or amino acid monomer subunit, for example, if every position in two DNA molecules is occupied by adenine, then the molecules are homologous at that position. The percent homology between two sequences is a function of the number of matching or homologous positions shared by the two sequences divided by the number of positions compared × 100%. For example, if 6 out of 10 positions in the two sequences match or are homologous when the sequences are optimally aligned, then the two sequences are 60% homologous. Generally, a comparison is made when the two sequences are aligned to achieve the maximum percent homology.
[0514] "About" and "approximately" refer to values that are within an acceptable error range for the specific value as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, which value depends in part on how it is measured or determined (i.e., the limits of the measurement system). For example, "about" can mean within 1 or more than 1 standard deviation. Alternatively, "about" or "substantially comprising" can mean a range of up to 20%, such as between 1% and 15%, between 1% and 10%, between 1% and 5%, between 0.5% and 5%, between 0.5% and 1%, and in this disclosure, each instance of a number or numerical range preceded by the term "about" also includes embodiments of the given number. Unless otherwise stated, when a specific value appears in the present disclosure and claims, the meaning of "about" or "substantially comprising" should be assumed to be within an acceptable error range for that specific value.
[0515] "Buffer" refers to a buffer that tolerates changes in pH through the action of its acid-base conjugate components. Examples of buffers that control pH within an appropriate range include tris (Tris), acetate, succinate, gluconate, histidine, oxalate, lactate, phosphate, citrate, tartrate, fumarate, glycylglycine, and other organic acid buffers.
[0516] A "histidine salt buffer" is a buffer containing histidine ions. Examples of histidine salt buffers include histidine hydrochloride, histidine acetate, histidine phosphate, histidine sulfate, and the like. Preferred are histidine hydrochloride buffers or histidine acetate buffers. Histidine acetate buffers are prepared from histidine and acetic acid, and histidine hydrochloride buffers are prepared from histidine and histidine hydrochloride, or histidine and hydrochloric acid.
[0517] "Phosphate buffer" is a buffer containing phosphate ions. Examples of phosphate buffers include disodium hydrogen phosphate-sodium dihydrogen phosphate, disodium hydrogen phosphate-potassium dihydrogen phosphate, disodium hydrogen phosphate-citric acid, and the like. Preferably, the phosphate buffer is disodium hydrogen phosphate-sodium dihydrogen phosphate.
[0518] A "pharmaceutical composition" refers to a mixture containing one or more antibodies described herein with other chemical components, such as physiologically / pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and excipients. The purpose of a pharmaceutical composition is to maintain the stability of the active ingredient, facilitate administration to an organism, and promote absorption of the active ingredient to exert its biological activity.
[0519] In the present disclosure, "pharmaceutical composition" and "formulation" are not mutually exclusive.
[0520] Unless otherwise specified, the solvent in the solution form of the pharmaceutical composition described in the present disclosure is water.
[0521] "Lyophilized formulation" refers to a pharmaceutical composition in liquid or solution form or a formulation or pharmaceutical composition obtained after a liquid or solution formulation has been subjected to a vacuum freeze-drying step.
[0522] "Administer," "give," and "treat," as they apply to animals, humans, experimental subjects, cells, tissues, organs, or biological fluids, refer to the contact of an exogenous drug, therapeutic agent, diagnostic agent, or composition with an animal, human, subject, cell, tissue, organ, or biological fluid. "Administer," "give," and "treat" can refer to, for example, therapeutic, pharmacokinetics, diagnostics, research, and experimental procedures. Treatment of cells includes contact of an agent with a cell, and contact of an agent with a fluid, wherein the fluid is in contact with the cell. "Administer," "give," and "treat" also mean the in vitro and ex vivo treatment of, for example, a cell, by an agent, a diagnostic, a binding composition, or by another cell. "Treatment," as it applies to humans, veterinary medicine, or research subjects, refers to therapeutic treatment, prophylactic or preventative measures, research, and diagnostic applications.
[0523] "Treatment" means administering an internal or external therapeutic agent, such as any of the antibodies disclosed herein or pharmaceutical compositions thereof, to a subject who has, is suspected of having, or is predisposed to having one or more proliferative diseases or symptoms thereof, and for which the therapeutic agent is known to have a therapeutic effect. Typically, the therapeutic agent is administered to the treated subject or population in an amount effective to alleviate one or more symptoms of the disease, whether by inducing regression of such symptoms or inhibiting the development of such symptoms to any clinically measurable extent. The amount of the therapeutic agent that effectively alleviates any specific disease symptom (also referred to as a "therapeutically effective amount") can vary according to a variety of factors, such as the disease state, age, and weight of the subject, and the ability of the drug to produce the desired therapeutic effect in the subject. Whether the symptoms of the disease have been alleviated can be evaluated by any clinical detection method commonly used by doctors or other health care professionals to evaluate the severity or progression of the symptoms. Although an embodiment of the present disclosure (e.g., a method of treatment or article of manufacture) may not be effective in alleviating the symptoms of the target disease in a certain subject, it should alleviate the symptoms of the target disease in a statistically significant number of subjects as determined by any statistical test known in the art, such as Student's t-test, chi-square test, U test according to Mann and Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis test (H test), Jonckheere-Terpstra test, and Wilcoxon test.
[0524] An "effective amount" encompasses an amount sufficient to ameliorate or prevent the symptoms or conditions of a medical condition. An effective amount also refers to an amount sufficient to permit or facilitate diagnosis. The effective amount for a subject may vary depending on factors such as the condition to be treated, the subject's overall health, the route and dosage of administration, and the severity of side effects. An effective amount may be the maximum dose or dosage regimen that avoids significant side effects or toxic effects. The subject of the present disclosure may be an animal or a human subject.
[0525] "Optional" or "optionally" means that the subsequently described event or circumstance may but need not occur, and that the description includes instances where the event or circumstance occurs and instances where it does not.
[0526] "Subject" or "patient" refers to a mammal, particularly a primate, and especially a human.
[0527] Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, throughout the specification and claims, the words "comprising," "having," "including," etc. should be construed to have an inclusive sense rather than an exclusive or exhaustive sense; that is, in the sense of "including but not limited to."
[0528] The term "lipid phase" refers to the general term for all lipids in lipid nanoparticles, including but not limited to cationic lipids, non-cationic lipids, phospholipids, cholesterol or its derivatives, conjugated lipids, and other lipids that are well known to those skilled in the art and can be used to prepare lipid nanoparticles.
[0529] The term "lipid" refers to a class of organic compounds that include, but are not limited to, esters of fatty acids and are characterized by being insoluble in water but soluble in many organic solvents. They are generally divided into at least three categories: (1) "simple lipids," which include fats and oils as well as waxes; (2) "compound lipids," which include phospholipids and glycolipids; and (3) "derivative lipids" such as steroids.

[0533] The term "amphiphilic lipid" refers, in part, to any suitable material, wherein the hydrophobic portion of the lipid material is oriented to the hydrophobic phase, while the hydrophilic portion is oriented to the aqueous phase. The hydrophilic nature results from the presence of polar or charged groups such as carbohydrates, phosphates, carboxyls, sulfates, aminos, sulfhydryls, nitros, hydroxyls, and other similar groups. Hydrophobicity can be imparted by including non-polar groups, including but not limited to long-chain saturated and unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons and such groups substituted by one or more aromatic, alicyclic, or heterocyclic groups.

[0539] The terms "mixed" and "mixed" mean that the order of adding the components is not limited. For example, mixing A into B can mean A is added to B, or B is added to A. Mixing A and B can mean A is added to B and the mixture can also mean B is added to A and the mixture can also mean B is added to A and the mixture can also mean.
[0540] The numerical values in this disclosure are instrumental measurements and are subject to a certain degree of error. Generally speaking, within a reasonable error range of plus or minus 10%. The context in which the numerical value is used must be considered. For example, the particle size of an active ingredient, where the error after measurement does not exceed plus or minus 10%, may be plus or minus 9%, plus or minus 8%, plus or minus 7%, plus or minus 6%, plus or minus 5%, plus or minus 4%, plus or minus 3%, plus or minus 2%, or plus or minus 1%, preferably plus or minus 5%.
[0541] The compound of formula I disclosed in the present invention is prepared by referring to the method in WO2023125738A, and the relevant content is disclosed herein for illustration.
[0542] The equipment and methods used in the testing process are as follows:
[0543] Total content and encapsulation efficiency:
[0544] mRNA-LNPs, when exposed to 2% Triton X-100, release mRNA encapsulated in lipids. The mRNA binds to RiboGreen and can be read on a microplate reader in fluorescence mode, selecting excitation at 485 nm and emission at 535 nm. Fluorescent dye assays are used to measure mRNA levels in samples before and after release from Triton X-100 treatment. Free RNA and total RNA levels are measured, respectively. The difference between total RNA and free RNA represents the ratio of total RNA to total RNA, representing the sample encapsulation efficiency.
[0545] Total content and encapsulation efficiency detection instrument: Molecular Devices-multi-function microplate reader.
[0546] dsRNA detection:
[0547] The double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method is used to detect the dsRNA content in the original solution of in vitro transcribed RNA products. A microplate is coated with a capture antibody to form a solid-phase antibody. The dsRNA standard and the sample to be tested are added to the solid-phase antibody microplate, followed by the detection antibody. Finally, a horseradish peroxidase-labeled enzyme-labeled secondary antibody is added to form a "coated antibody-antigen-enzyme-labeled detection antibody" complex. After washing, a color developing solution is added for color development. The color developing solution turns blue under the catalysis of HRP and eventually yellow under the action of acid. The color depth is positively correlated with the amount of dsRNA in the sample.

[0549] HGF detection:
[0550] In this experiment, supernatants from HEK293 cells infected with mRNA (liposome-formulated) for three days were collected as test samples. Using a double-antibody sandwich ELISA, anti-human HGF antibodies were coated onto microplates. Human HGF in the samples and standards bound to the antibodies immobilized on the plate, and free components were washed away. Biotinylated anti-human HGF detection antibodies were then added and incubated. Unbound material was washed away, and streptavidin-labeled horseradish peroxidase (Streptavidin-HRP) was added and incubated. After washing away unbound reagents, TMB substrate solution (developer) was added. The color of the solution was proportional to the bound target protein. Stop solution was added, and the absorbance was measured using a microplate reader.

[0556] 1.1 Screening of 5'UTR and 3'UTR
[0557] In order to screen for 3'-untranslated region elements (3'UTR elements) and 5'-untranslated region elements (5'UTR elements) that can improve protein expression efficiency, this example screened the UTR sequences in housekeeping gene mRNAs.
[0558] First, 301 candidate housekeeping genes, including Abhd16a, were identified using the database (https: / / esbl.nhlbi.nih.gov / helixweb / Database / NephronRNAseq / Housekeeping_Genes.htmL). Then, bioinformatics methods were used to analyze and rank the expression levels of these genes, and to retrieve gene transcript and UTR sequence information. UTR elements were further screened based on gene expression levels and UTR sequence lengths, resulting in multiple candidate UTR sequences. Thirty-three 5'UTRs, numbered A1 to A33, and 14 3'UTRs, numbered B1 to B14, were identified. The gene sources and sequence numbers are shown in Tables 1 and 2.
[0559] Table 1. New 3'UTRs obtained through screening
[0560] Table 2. New 5'UTRs obtained by screening
[0561] 1.2 mRNA preparation
[0562] The UTR obtained by screening in 1.1 is constructed into a DNA vector for in vitro transcription to obtain stably expressed mRNA of 5'UTR and 3'UTR elements. The vector contains a T7 promoter, a sequence (SEQ ID NO: 126) encoding firefly luciferase (Firefly Luciferase, Fluc) as an open reading frame (ORF), and a polyadenylic acid (polyA) sequence, which is followed by a restriction site for linearization of the vector. The polyA is selected from A120 (i.e., 120 continuous adenylic acids) or A30L70 (SEQ ID NO: 52). By suitable restriction enzyme sites, 5'UTR and 3'UTR element constructions are respectively constructed to the 5' end and 3' end of the open reading frame ORF (Fluc). The constructed vector example is shown in Figure 1A to Figure 1C, and the combination of 5'UTR and 3'UTR is shown in Table 3.
[0563] The control vectors used in this example include Mod.-120A (SEQ ID NO: 53), Mod.-A30L70 (SEQ ID NO: 54), and BioN.-A30L70 (SEQ ID NO: 55), each containing a polyA of A120 (SEQ ID NO: 53), and the target gene is Fluc, which was constructed by whole-gene synthesis. Different UTR elements were constructed into the above vectors by enzyme digestion. Among them, the construction vectors of vectors V-B1 to V-B14 were Mod.-120A, and the restriction sites were AgeI and SacII. The poly A of each was A120, and the control used was Mod.-120A (SEQ ID NO: 53); the construction vectors of vectors V-A1 to V-A14 were Mod.-120A (SEQ ID NO: 53), and the restriction sites were BamHI and NheI. The poly A of each was A120, and the control used was also Mod.-120A (SEQ ID NO: 53); the construction vectors of V-A15 to V-A33 were Mod.-A30L70 (SEQ ID NO: 54), and the restriction sites were BamHI and NheI. The poly A of each was A30L70, and the control used was Mod.-A30L70 (SEQ ID NO: 55). NO:54); the construction vector of vectors V-A1-B12, V-A1-B13, and V-A1-B14 is Mod.-A30L70 (SEQ ID NO:54), and the restriction sites are BamHI and SacII. The poly A of each is A30L70. The controls used are Mod.-A30L70 (SEQ ID NO:54) and BioN.-A30L70 (SEQ ID NO:55). The inserted UTR element gene fragments are all fully gene synthesized (Suzhou Jinweizhi Biotechnology Co., Ltd.), and the fragments are constructed into the corresponding vectors by restriction enzyme digestion and ligation. After the vector construction is completed, it needs to be digested and sequenced for identification. After correct identification, it is used in the next experiment.
[0564] Table 3. Combinations of 5'UTR and 3'UTR in vectors
[0565] 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 using T7-RNA polymerase. For in vitro transcription, T7 RNA polymerase (Roche), the corresponding reaction buffer, pyrophosphatase, RNase inhibitor, and NTP were used. In order to effectively cap RNA, an excess of the cap-like compound ARCA (3'-O-Me-m 7G(5')ppp(5')G, Trilink, N-7003-1) or CleanCap (m7G(5')ppp(5')(2'OMeA)pG, Trilink, N-7113), wherein the RNA used in Figures 2 to 5 was capped with ARCA, and the RNA used in Figures 6 to 9 was capped with CleanCap. At the same time, in order to reduce the immunogenicity of mRNA and improve translation efficiency, the mRNA in the present disclosure was nucleic acid modified, and all uridine triphosphate (UTP) in the reaction system was replaced with N1-methyl-pseudouridine triphosphate (1m-ψUTP, purchased from ThermoFisher). The modification method refers to patent US2014 / 0194494A1. After incubation at 37°C for 2.5 hours, the in vitro transcription system was purified using carboxylated magnetic beads (Invitrogen) and resuspended in nuclease-free water. RNA concentration and quality were assessed by spectrophotometry and analysis on an Agilent 5200 Bioanalyzer. The target mRNA was obtained.
[0566] The sequences from the 5'UTR to the polyA region of Mod. of the present disclosure are shown in SEQ ID NOs: 53 and 54, and the sequences from the 5'UTR to the polyA region of BioN. are shown in SEQ ID NO: 55. The 5'UTR and 3'UTR sequences in Mod. are consistent with those in Moderna's patents and publications (US10849920B2, WO2013151667A1, US10730924B2, DOI: 10.1016 / j.cell.2017.02.017). The 5'UTR and 3'UTR sequences of BioN. are derived from patent WO 2018 / 160540.
[0567] As an example, the linearized sequence of V-B1, the sequence from 5'UTR to polyA is shown in SEQ ID NO: 56; the linearized sequence of V-A1, the sequence from 5'UTR to polyA is shown in SEQ ID NO: 57.
[0568] 1.3 Functional validation of 5'UTR, 3'UTR, and their combination
[0569] In this example, the luciferase expression system using mRNA lipid transfection was used to verify the function of UTR.
[0570] Experimental method: Human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293, purchased from ATCC) were cultured at 4×10 4The cells were seeded at a density of 10 cells / well in a 96-well plate. TM MessengerMAX TM Transfection was performed using an mRNA transfection reagent, with 100 ng of the capped mRNA prepared in Example 2 being transfected per well. Six hours after transfection, fresh medium was replaced. 100 μL of medium was aspirated and 50 μL of luciferase substrate was added. Luminescence intensity was measured using a PerkinElmer multi-function microplate reader. Human cervical cancer cells (HeLa, purchased from ATCC) and human lung cancer cells (A549, purchased from ATCC) were assayed using the same protocol as HEK293.
[0571] Evaluation Method: In Tables 4 to 7 and 9 to 11, the fluorescein expression level of the reference positive control Mod. in different cell lines was set to 1, and the expression levels of different mRNAs relative to the positive control Mod. were calculated. In Table 8, the fluorescein expression level of the reference positive control BioN. in different cell lines was set to 1, and the expression levels of different mRNAs relative to the positive control BioN. were calculated. The values in the table are all multiples of the average detection value.
[0572] 1) Detection of the ability of 3'UTR to regulate target gene expression in different cell lines
[0573] To verify the ability of different 3'UTRs to regulate target gene expression in different cell lines, mRNA expressing luciferase (Fluc) was produced using the method of Example 2. The produced RNA was ARCA-capped with an A120 polyA tail. The RNA was transfected into human HeLa, HEK293, and A549 cells, and luciferase levels were measured 24 hours after transfection. The results are shown in Table 4 and Figure 2.
[0574] Table 4. Expression of luciferase (Fluc) expressed in mRNAs carrying different 3'UTRs (ARCA capping, target genes are all Fluc, poly A is all A120)
[0575] The results showed that in different cell lines, compared with the Mod. positive control, the effects of the 3'UTRs of B1 to B14 on protein expression were consistent, and there were no significant differences between different cell lines (p>0.05), indicating that the effects of the 3'UTR elements obtained by the present disclosure on protein expression are universal and can be used to increase the protein expression level of the target gene.
[0576] 2) Detection of the duration of target gene expression regulated by 3'UTR in cells
[0577] To test the ability of different 3'UTRs to regulate the expression time of target genes in cells, the mRNAs listed in Table 4 were transfected into HEK293 cells, and the luciferase expression levels were measured 6 h, 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h after transfection. The results are shown in Table 5 and Figure 3.
[0578] Table 5. Expression levels of luciferase (Fluc) expressed by mRNAs carrying different 3'UTRs
[0579] The results showed that in HEK293 cells, changes in 3'UTR elements could affect the expression level of the target protein. Except for the B5-3'UTR element, other 3'UTR elements could increase protein expression by more than 1.2 times, and there were significant differences at different detection time points (p<0.05). Among them, the 3'UTR elements of B12, B13, and B14 had the best effect, which could increase protein expression by more than 2 times and had good time continuity.
[0580] 3) Detection of 5'UTR regulation of target gene expression in cells
[0581] To test the ability of different 5'UTRs to regulate the expression time of target genes in cells, mRNA expressing luciferase (Fluc) was prepared using the aforementioned method. The RNAs used in Table 6 and Figure 4 were ARCA-capped with an A120 polyA tail, while the RNAs used in Table 7 and Figure 5 were CleanCap-capped with an A30L70 polyA tail. The RNAs produced above were transfected into HEK293 cells, and luciferase expression levels were measured 6, 24, 48, and 72 hours after transfection. The results are shown in Tables 6 and 7 and Figures 4 and 5.
[0582] Table 6. Expression of luciferase (Fluc) expressed in mRNAs carrying different 5'UTRs (ARCA capping, target genes are all Fluc, poly A is all A120)
[0583] Table 7. Expression of luciferase (Fluc) expressed in mRNAs carrying different 5'UTRs (CleanCap capping, target genes are all Fluc, polyA is all A30L70)
[0584] Figures 4 and 5 were screened using different capping methods and polyA tail structures, respectively. The results showed that in different screening vectors, changes in the 5'UTR element can affect the expression level of the target protein, and the 5'UTR element has universality in improving the expression level of the target protein. Among them, the 5'UTR elements numbered A1, A3 to A7, A9 to A16, A18, A21, A24, A27, A28, A32, and A33 can all increase protein expression 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 them, the 5'UTR elements of A1, A15, A16, and A18 have the best effect, which can increase protein expression by more than 2 times and have good time continuity.
[0585] 4) Detection of the expression intensity of target gene regulated by candidate 5'UTR compared with the positive control BioN. vector
[0586] To test the ability of different candidate 5'UTRs to regulate the expression intensity of the target gene compared to the positive control BioN. vector, the preferred 5'UTR elements A1, A15, A16, and A18 screened above were constructed into a vector containing an A30L70 polyA tail element. Luciferase (Fluc) mRNA was produced using the aforementioned method and transfected into HEK293 cells. Luciferase expression levels were measured 6 h, 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h after transfection. The results are shown in Table 8 and Figure 6.
[0587] Table 8. Expression of luciferase (Fluc) expressed in mRNAs carrying different 5'UTRs (Cleancap capping, target genes are all Fluc, poly A is all A30L70)
[0588] The results showed that the candidate 5'UTR elements could increase protein expression by at least 1.2 times compared with the BioN. vector at 24h and 48h, and the differences were significant (p<0.05).
[0589] 5) Detection of the regulation of target gene expression by different 5'UTR and 3'UTR combinations in cells
[0590] To investigate the effects of different 5'-UTR and 3'UTR combinations on target protein expression in mRNA, mRNAs containing different combinations of 5'UTR and 3'UTR elements were compared with the 5'UTR and 3'UTR selected by Moderna. The results are shown in Table 9 and Figure 7 .
[0591] Table 9. Expression levels of mRNAs carrying different 5'UTR and 3'UTR combinations (Cleancap capping, target genes are all Fluc, polyA is all A30L70)
[0592] The results showed that the 5'UTR and 3'UTR element combinations screened in this disclosure increased protein expression by more than 1.3-fold compared to the 5'UTR and 3'UTR elements selected by Moderna at the 24h, 48h, and 72h detection time points, with significant differences (p < 0.05). The target proteins in 1)-5) above are all luciferase (Fluc), and the target protein in 6) below is a secreted protein (e.g., hHGF, anti-PD-1 antibody).
[0593] 6) Detection of different 5'UTR and 3'UTR combinations regulating the expression of secreted target proteins
[0594] In order to study the effects of different 5'-UTR and 3'UTR combinations on the expression of secreted proteins by mRNA, the target protein expressed by mRNA was constructed as ORF, which was human hepatocyte growth factor (hHGF) or anti-PD-1 antibody.
[0595] The amino acid sequence of hHGF is shown in SEQ ID NO: 109, and its DNA sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO: 110. After codon optimization, mRNA OS1, OS2, and OS3 were obtained, and their optimized codon sequences are shown in SEQ ID NOs: 129-131.
[0596] The amino acid sequences of the heavy chain and light chain of the PD-1 antibody are shown in SEQ ID NOs: 117 and 118, respectively, the DNA sequences of the heavy chain and light chain are shown in SEQ ID NOs: 119 and 120, respectively, and the mRNA sequences of the heavy chain and light chain are shown in SEQ ID NOs: 121 and 122, respectively.
[0597] First, to improve the translation efficiency of hHGF protein, the present disclosure codon-optimized the nucleotide sequence of wild-type hHGF (SEQ ID NO: 110). The optimized sequences are 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: 129-131, respectively. The native hHGF and codon-optimized hHGF sequences were constructed into vectors to produce mRNA. The expression level of hHGF protein was measured by ELISA, demonstrating that the codon-optimized hHGF sequences can increase hHGF protein expression.
[0598] hHGF-OS2 mRNAs containing different combinations of 5'UTR and 3'UTR elements (DNA sequence: SEQ ID NO: 112) were compared with the hHGF-OS2 mRNA Mod.(hHGF) (DNA sequence: SEQ ID NO: 114) containing different combinations of 5'UTR and 3'UTR elements from Moderna. HEK293 cells were transfected with the hHGF mRNAs. Supernatants were collected 6, 24, 48, and 72 hours after transfection and assayed for hHGF protein expression by ELISA to assess the ability of the candidate vectors to increase / prolong HGF expression. Results are shown in Table 10 and Figure 8A.
[0599] Table 10. Target protein expression levels of mRNAs carrying different 5'UTR and 3'UTR combinations (Cleancap capping, target genes are all hHGF, poly A is all A30L70)
[0600] mRNAs expressing full-length anti-PD-1 antibodies containing different combinations of 5'UTR and 3'UTR elements (corresponding DNA sequences are SEQ ID NOs: 124-125) were compared with mRNA expressing anti-PD-1 antibodies containing combinations of 5'UTR and 3'UTR elements from Moderna (corresponding DNA sequence is SEQ ID NO: 123). HEK293 cells were transfected with mRNA encoding full-length anti-PD-1 antibodies. Supernatants were collected 6, 24, 48, and 72 hours after transfection and assayed for anti-PD-1 antibody expression by ELISA to assess the increased / extended expression of anti-PD-1 antibodies by candidate vectors. The results are shown in Table 11 and Figure 8B.
[0601] Table 11. Target protein expression levels of mRNAs carrying different 5'UTR and 3'UTR combinations (Cleancap capping, target genes are all anti-PD-1 antibody heavy and light chains, poly A is A30L70)
[0602] The above results show that after 72 hours of continuous expression of secretory protein hHGF and anti-PD-1 antibody, the 5'UTR and 3'UTR combination screened by the present disclosure can significantly increase the expression level of secretory protein compared with the 5'UTR and 3'UTR elements selected by Moderna (p<0.05).
[0603] 1.4 Verification of hHGF protein expression in mice by hHGF mRNA
[0604] To determine the ability of the mRNA molecule m-A16-B12 (hHGF) (corresponding DNA sequence is SEQ ID NO: 127) to express hHGF in animals, lipid nanoparticles LNP (comprising 50 mol% ionizable lipid (SM-102), 10 mol% DSPC, 38.5 mol% cholesterol, and 1.5 mol% PEG-DMG) were used for mRNA delivery. The same lipid nanoparticles LNP were also used in Examples 5 and 6 below. The positive control was Collategene plasmid (AnGes), which was administered via naked plasmid administration. Balb / c mice (6-8 weeks, male) were randomly divided into 4 groups, with 33 mice in each group. Different doses of m-A16-B12 (hHGF) and Collategene plasmid were injected into the gastrocnemius muscle of the mice. Then, the experimental groups were arranged as follows according to the scheme in Table 12: 1) injection of 1.0 μg / mouse m-A16-B12 (hHGF); 2) injection of 0.3 μg / mouse m-A16-B12 (hHGF); 3) injection of 0.1 μg / mouse m-A16-B12 (hHGF); 4) injection of 200 μg / mouse naked Collategene plasmid. Gastrocnemius muscle samples were obtained from mice at 1, 2, 4, 6, 24, 48, 72, 96, 168, 216, and 336 hours post-incubation. Muscle tissue was homogenized using RIPA lysis buffer containing protease inhibitors, and the supernatant was collected by centrifugation. hHGF protein concentration was determined using a BCA protein concentration assay kit, and hHGF expression was assessed using ELISA. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD) for each group, and graphs and statistics were generated using Graphpad Prism 9.0 software.
[0605] Table 12. Experimental groups of m-A16-B12 (hHGF) and Collategene in vivo expression of hHGF
[0606] The experimental results are shown in Figure 9A. m-A16-B12 (hHGF) can express hHGF protein 1 hour after intramuscular injection, and reaches the peak expression 6 hours after injection, showing a dose-dependent manner. As shown in Figure 9B, Collategene reaches the peak expression 7 days after injection; the protein expression level of m-A16-B12 (hHGF) decreases 48 hours after delivery. The protein expression level of m-A16-B12 (hHGF) at a dose of 1μg / mouse is comparable to that of Collategene at 72 hours. At the same time, statistics of the PK data of each group found that even the lowest dose of 0.1μg of m-A16-B12 (hHGF) had a C max It is also more than 5 times that of Collategene, and the AUC of 0.1μg m-A16-B12 (hHGF) is inf(hr*pg / mg protein) The expression of hHGF in the plasma was comparable to that of Collategene (Table 13).

[0608] 1.5 Verification of the therapeutic function of hHGF mRNA expression in a mouse model of lower limb ischemia
[0609] The lower limb ischemia mouse model is a classic mouse model that simulates severe lower limb ischemia in humans. 6-8 week old male Balb / c mice were used for modeling. The method is as follows: 1) Anesthetize the animal and place it in the supine position on the operating table. The hind limbs are thoroughly depilated, the hind limbs are fixed, and the skin at the surgical site is disinfected. 2) A skin incision approximately 1 cm long is made from the knee to the inner thigh. The subcutaneous fat tissue is sequentially incised and dissected to fully expose the femoral artery. 3) Using micro-curved forceps, gently pierce the membranous femoral sheath to expose the neurovascular package. The femoral artery is separated from the femoral vein and nerve at the proximal position near the groin. After clean separation, the proximal femoral artery is ligated with a 6-0 suture below the proximal femoral artery. 4) The femoral artery and femoral vein are separated distally near the knee. The distal end of the femoral artery is ligated with a 6-0 suture below the proximal popliteal artery. 5) Suture the wound.
[0610] m-A16-B12 (hHGF) was delivered using the LNP described in Example 1.4, and Collategene was administered as a naked plasmid. Mice modeling lower limb ischemia were randomly divided into four groups of five. Both m-A16-B12 (hHGF) and naked Collategene plasmid were injected intramuscularly into the gastrocnemius muscle. The experimental groups were as follows: 1) 500 ng / mouse m-A16-B12 (hHGF); 2) 50 ng / mouse m-A16-B12 (hHGF); 3) 200 μg / mouse naked Collategene plasmid; and 4) an equal volume of PBS was injected as a control group. The day of modeling was designated as day 0. Legs were observed on days 0, 4, 7, 10, 12, and 14 after treatment in each experimental group. Lower limb blood perfusion was measured using a blood flowmeter and photographed.
[0611] The blood perfusion ratio of each group was calculated according to the following formula: blood perfusion ratio = blood perfusion volume of the lower limb of the mouse on that day / blood perfusion volume of the lower limb of the mouse on day 0 × 100%; the data of each group were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (Mean ± SD), and graphs and statistics were prepared using Graphpad Prism 9.0 software.
[0612] The results, as shown in Figures 10A and 10B, show that when treated with 50 ng / mouse, 500 ng / mouse m-A16-B12 (hHGF), and 200 ng / mouse Collategene naked plasmid, the blood perfusion ratio of the ischemic lower limb of each mouse significantly improved compared to the control group, and the blood perfusion ratio of the ischemic lower limb gradually recovered over time. The group receiving 50 ng / mouse m-A16-B12 (hHGF) demonstrated a blood flow recovery effect similar to that of the group receiving 200 ng / mouse Collategene naked plasmid. In particular, the group receiving 500 ng / mouse m-A16-B12 (hHGF) significantly improved blood flow recovery compared to the group receiving 200 ng / mouse Collategene naked plasmid, achieving a blood perfusion recovery of over 90%.
[0613] To further determine the therapeutic effect of m-A16-B12 (hHGF) on the extent of limb necrosis in a mouse model of limb ischemia, the legs of the mice were observed and photographed on day 14 after administration. The severity of limb necrosis was scored using the criteria shown in Figure 11A : 0 = limb self-detachment; 1 = leg necrosis; 2 = foot necrosis; 3 = >2 toe discoloration; 4 = 1 toe discoloration; 5 = >2 nail discoloration; 6 = 1 nail discoloration; 7 = no necrosis. Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (mean ± SD) for each group, and graphs and statistics were generated using Graphpad Prism 9.0 software.
[0614] The results are shown in Figure 11B. After inducing lower limb ischemia in mice, the mice in the control group developed obvious ischemic necrosis in the lower limbs within 2 weeks after surgery. By the 14th day, the lower limbs of some mice were completely detached. In the m-A16-B12 (hHGF) and Collategene naked plasmid injection treatment groups, the lower limbs of each mouse maintained good integrity and no lower limb necrosis occurred, indicating that m-A16-B12 (hHGF) has the same ability to improve lower limb ischemia as the control Collategene naked plasmid.
[0615] CD31 is a key marker of angiogenesis. To determine the role of m-A16-B12 (hHGF) in promoting angiogenesis in a mouse model of lower limb ischemia, paraffin sections were prepared from gastrocnemius muscle samples near the ischemic tissue of the mice 14 days after administration. Immunohistochemical staining of CD31 in the sections was performed using a CD31 antibody. Images were taken and analyzed using ImageJ (NIH) software to calculate the CD31 staining area. Data for each group are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (mean ± SD) and graphed and statistically analyzed using Graphpad Prism 9.0 software.
[0616] The results are shown in Figure 12. When treated with 50 ng / mouse, 500 ng / mouse m-A16-B12 (hHGF) and 200 ng / mouse Collategene naked plasmid, angiogenesis in the ischemic lower limb muscles of each group was significantly promoted, and the number of new blood vessels was significantly different from that of the PBS group (p<0.05). The 50 ng / mouse m-A16-B12 (hHGF) group showed an angiogenesis-promoting effect comparable to that of the 200 ng / mouse Collategene naked plasmid, and the m-A16-B12 (hHGF)-administered group showed a dose-dependent angiogenesis-promoting effect.
[0617] 1.6 Verification of the therapeutic function of hHGF mRNA expression in the Db / Db mouse model of full-thickness cortical injury
[0618] The Db / Db mouse model is a classic diabetic mouse model. Due to its Leptin receptor gene deficiency, the mice develop features similar to those of diabetic patients, including hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and insulin resistance, over age. This experiment employed a full-thickness skin injury model to simulate the difficult-to-heal skin lesions seen in patients with diabetic foot. The Db / Db mouse model was created as follows: After anesthesia, small Db / Db mice were depilated with a depilatory cream and disinfected with 75% alcohol cotton balls. A full-thickness skin wound was created on the lower back using an 8mm diameter biopunch.
[0619] To determine the therapeutic effect of m-A16-B12 (hHGF) on wound healing in a full-thickness cortical injury mouse model, m-A16-B12 (hHGF) was delivered using the LNPs described in Example 1.4. A control, naked Collategene plasmid, was administered subcutaneously at four different sites. Db / Db mice undergoing a full-thickness cortical injury model were divided into five groups of seven mice based on body weight and blood glucose levels. The experimental groups were as follows: 1) 500 ng / mouse m-A16-B12 (hHGF); 2) 200 ng / mouse m-A16-B12 (hHGF); 3) 50 ng / mouse m-A16-B12 (hHGF); 4) 200 μg / mouse naked Collategene plasmid; and 5) a control group injected with an equal volume of PBS. The day of modeling was counted as day 0. After treatment in each experimental group, the wound recovery was observed on day 0, 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, and 14. The wound site was photographed, and the images were analyzed using ImageJ (NIH) software to calculate the wound area.
[0620] The wound healing percentage was calculated according to the following formula: P = (AD-A0) / A0×100% (P: wound healing percentage; AD: wound area on the day of photography; A0: wound area on the day of surgery).
[0621] The wound healing percentage of each group was expressed as mean ± standard deviation (Mean ± SD), and Graphpad Prism 9.0 software was used for graphing and statistics.
[0622] The results are shown in FIG13 . When injected with 50 ng / mouse, 200 ng / mouse, and 500 ng / mouse m-A16-B12 (hHGF) and 200 μg / mouse Collategene naked plasmid, the wounds of the mice healed well compared with the control group. Moreover, m-A16-B12 (hHGF) promoted wound healing in mice in a dose-dependent manner. On day 14, the wound healing rate of m-A16-B12 (hHGF) at a dose of 50 ng / mouse reached 66%, while m-A16-B12 (hHGF) at doses of 200 ng / mouse and 500 ng / mouse achieved 100% wound healing. At the same time, m-A16-B12 (hHGF) promoted wound healing significantly better than 200 μg / mouse Collategene naked plasmid (p < 0.05). Even the lower dose (50 ng / mouse) of m-A16-B12 (hHGF) showed a significantly different wound healing percentage from 200 μg / mouse Collategene naked plasmid (p < 0.05).
[0623] To determine the therapeutic efficacy of m-A16-B12 (hHGF) on tissue remodeling in a full-thickness cortical injury mouse model, Masson's staining was used to evaluate epithelial regeneration and tissue remodeling. On day 17 after administration, full-thickness cortical specimens were obtained from the mice, paraffin sections were prepared, and the mouse skin tissue was stained using Masson's stain.
[0624] The results, as shown in Figure 14, show that under m-A16-B12 (hHGF) treatment, the wounds of all mice in each group were fully covered with epithelial cells. In the low-dose group, the epithelium at the wound site was abnormally thickened, with collagen proliferation. In the medium- and high-dose groups, the epithelium returned to normal thickness, with collagen arranged in an orderly manner, completing tissue reconstruction. In contrast, in the control group and the 200 μg / mouse Collategene naked plasmid group, epithelial re-covery was not completed, with abnormal collagen proliferation and structural disorder at the wound site.

[0626] Preparation of LNP lipid particles
[0627] Compound 1 (Formula I compound prepared with reference to WO2023125738A), DSPC, cholesterol, and DMG-PEG 2000 solution were mixed in a certain molar percentage (mol%), that is, the molar amount of each component accounted for the percentage of the molar amount of the total lipids present in the lipid nanoparticles, and an ethanol lipid solution was prepared. The molar ratios of the four components were prepared as shown in Table 14. The mRNA encoding the luciferase protein was dissolved in a pH 4 acetate buffer to prepare an mRNA aqueous solution. The ethanol lipid solution and the mRNA aqueous solution were mixed in a 1:3 volume ratio by microfluidics, and the weight ratio of total lipids to mRNA was about 20:1 to prepare liposomes. Ethanol was removed by dialyzing in a 20mM Tris solution to obtain a liposome nanoparticle composition encapsulating mRNA.

[0629] Characterization methods
[0630] The particle size and polydispersity index (PDI) of the liposome nanoparticles were determined by dynamic light scattering (DLS) using a Malvern Zetasizer Pro in backscattering mode at 173°.
[0631] The liposome encapsulation efficiency was determined using the Quant-iT RiboGreen RNA Assay Kit.

[0634] Lyophilization of lipid particle compositions
[0635] Prepare lipid nanoparticles according to Example 2, and replace the prepared lipid nanoparticles into a freeze-dried preparation buffer (containing 20mM Tris, pH 7.5, 8% sucrose, 5% trehalose and sodium chloride solutions of different concentrations corresponding to the table below) by ultrafiltration. Fill the freeze-dried preparation solution of lipid nanoparticles into 2mL cillin bottles, 0.6mL / bottle, and the cationic lipid concentration in each bottle is 1.78mg / mL. Place in a freeze dryer. Pre-freeze at -45°C for 3 hours, dry at -40°C for 30 hours, and dry at 30°C for 10 hours, with a vacuum degree of 0.05mmbar. The final freeze-dried product is out of the box.
[0636] The lyophilized product was reconstituted with 0.6 mL of water for injection and the lipid nanoparticles were then measured using the aforementioned method. The particle sizes of the lipid nanoparticles before and after lyophilization were compared. The results are shown in Table 15 and Figures 15-17.
[0637] Table 15
[0638] The lipid nanoparticle stock solutions from the above experiments were diluted to 1 / 2 and 1 / 3 concentrations using a lyophilization formulation buffer. The resulting lipid nanoparticles were then bottled and lyophilized according to the above experimental procedures. The particle size of the lyophilized and reconstituted lipid nanoparticles was measured. The results are shown in Table 16.
[0639] Table 16
[0640] The prepared lipid nanoparticles were ultrafiltrated into a separate lyophilization buffer (containing 20 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 8% sucrose, and various sodium chloride concentrations as shown in the table below). The lyophilized lipid nanoparticle solution was then filled into 2 mL vials at a rate of 0.6 mL per vial, with a cationic lipid concentration of 2.38 mg / mL per vial. The vials were placed in a lyophilizer. Pre-freeze at -45°C for 3 hours, dry at -40°C for 30 hours, and dry at 30°C for 10 hours, all under a vacuum of 0.05 mmbar. The final lyophilized product was then removed from the freezer.
[0641] The lyophilized product was reconstituted with 0.6 mL of water for injection and the lipid nanoparticles were then tested for particle size according to the aforementioned method. The particle sizes of the lipid nanoparticles before and after lyophilization were compared, and the test results are shown in Table 17.

[0643] Example 4:
[0644] Assessing mRNA integrity in lipid nanoparticle compositions
[0645] Freeze-dried lipid nanoparticles were obtained according to Example 3, and the integrity of mRNA in each group of samples was detected using a capillary electrophoresis instrument (Agilent 5200 fragment analyzer).
[0646] mRNA is easily degraded and affected by temperature. As the temperature rises, mRNA stability decreases. With prolonged storage time, degradation occurs under high-temperature conditions, reducing its integrity. During the freeze-drying process, the temperature rises from primary to secondary drying, with the secondary drying temperature being higher. Therefore, the mRNA integrity of sodium chloride in different formulations was evaluated during the freeze-drying process and under high-temperature storage conditions. As shown in Table 18 and Figures 18-21, mRNA integrity improves after freeze-drying with increasing sodium chloride concentration. Similarly, under high-temperature storage conditions at 37°C, mRNA integrity improves with increasing sodium chloride concentration.

[0649] Evaluating the mRNA delivery efficiency of lipid nanoparticles in cells
[0650] HEK 293 cells were seeded into 96-well plates and cultured overnight. When the cell density reached more than 80%, the lipid nanoparticle solution encapsulating luciferase mRNA (lyophilized product of prescription 7 and lyophilized product of prescription 9) was added to the cell plate well culture medium, and the mRNA dose was 100 ng / well. After 24 hours, the fluorescence intensity of the expressed luciferase protein was detected using a luciferase reporter gene assay kit (Promega) and a microplate reader. The fluorescence intensity value is the fluorescence value detected by the microplate reader, which represents the expression level of the luciferase protein. The higher the intensity of the strong light, the higher the protein expression level. The average fluorescence intensity was calculated for at least 3 groups of lipid nanoparticles corresponding to each compound.
[0651] Table 19
[0652] Conclusion: As shown in Table 19 and Figure 22, the fluorescence intensity of the lipid nanoparticle freeze-dried product corresponding to prescription 9 was significantly higher than that of prescription 7. In Figure 22, *** represents a statistically significant difference, P < 0.001.
[0653] Example 6 Preparation process of HGF-mRNA-LNP spray formulation:
[0654] Preparation of HGF-mRNA-LNP lyophilized powder. HGF-mRNA-LNP (0.09 mg m-A16-B12, 1.07 mg cationic lipid of Formula I, with the molar amounts of the cationic lipid, DSPC, cholesterol, and DMG-PEG 2000 accounting for 48 mol%, 10 mol%, 40.5 mol%, and 1.5 mol% of the total molar amount of the lipid nanoparticles, respectively) was prepared according to the method described in Example 2. HGF-mRNA-LNP lyophilized powder (Formulation 10) was prepared according to Formula 4 in Example 3. The lyophilized product was reconstituted in 0.6 mL of water for injection, and the particle size of the lipid nanoparticles was measured according to the aforementioned method. The particle size of the lipid nanoparticles before and after lyophilization was compared. The results are shown in Table 20.
[0655] Table 20
[0656] A reconstitution solvent was prepared, sterilized and filtered, and used to reconstitute the above-mentioned HGF-mRNA-LNP lyophilized powder to prepare a spray preparation.
[0657] Example 7. Screening of dispersant components
[0658] When mRNA-LNP is in solution (after reconstitution of lyophilized powder), its particles exhibit significant stability, manifested by a tendency to aggregate and increase in size. When LNP is atomized via a nebulizer, mechanical compression or shear forces further increase the likelihood of aggregation. To reduce the risk of LNP particle aggregation during atomization, a dispersant is added to the reconstitution solvent. The reconstitution solvent was prepared (by weight) as follows: WFI, 0.2% PF68 (Poloxamer 188), 0.2% PF127 (Poloxamer 407), 0.25% PVA (Polyvinyl Alcohol), 0.1% HEC (Hydroxyethylcellulose), and 1% PEG400 (Polyethylene Glycol 400). Nebulization was performed using a disposable nasal delivery device. The atomized solution was collected 3 cm from the atomizer nozzle. Particle size, PDI, total mRNA content, and encapsulation efficiency were measured in the collected atomized solution and the reconstituted solution before atomization as evaluation indicators.
[0659] The results are shown in Table 21. Reconstitution of the lyophilized LNP powder with different resolvents significantly decreased its particle size (81.3 nm vs. 96.7 nm) compared to reconstitution with water for injection (WFI). This suggests that reconstitution with 0.2% PF127 may have disrupted the LNP structure. The LNP particle size after reconstitution with the other resolvents was not significantly different from that after reconstitution with WFI. Furthermore, the total mRNA content and encapsulation efficiency of the solutions reconstituted with the other resolvents were comparable to those after reconstitution with WFI. In terms of changes in particle size, PDI, total mRNA content, and encapsulation efficiency before and after spraying, no significant differences were observed between the solutions reconstituted with the other resolvents. This suggests that the risk of LNP particle damage and drug adsorption during spraying using a disposable nasal delivery device is low.
[0660] In summary, 0.2% PF68, 0.25% PVA, 0.1% HEC, and 1% PEG400 can all be used as the complex solvent component-dispersant.
[0661] Table 21. Screening results of resolvent components-dispersants
[0662] Example 8. Screening of Resolvent Components - Viscosity Enhancers
[0663] As a topical spray preparation, this product needs to have a certain viscosity to increase the retention time of the drug solution at the administration site. Xanthan gum (Xc), povidone K90 (PVP-K90), sodium hyaluronate (HA), sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-Na), and chitosan (CTS) were selected as viscosity enhancers. The specific formula is as follows (weight ratio):
[0664] 1) 0.24% xanthan gum (Xc);
[0665] 2) 0.5% povidone K90 (PVP-K90);
[0666] 3) 0.1% sodium hyaluronate (HA);
[0667] 4) 0.5% sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC-Na);
[0668] 5) 0.2% chitosan (CTS).
[0669] Each of the above reconstitution solutions was prepared, filtered, filled, stoppered, and capped for later use. Each of the above reconstitution solutions was pipetted into a disposable nasal delivery device and then reconstituted with the lyophilized powder. The sprayed samples were collected. The particle size, PDI, encapsulation efficiency, and total mRNA content of the samples before and after spraying were measured. The results are shown in Table 22 below.
[0670] Table 22. Screening of Resolvent Components - Viscosity Enhancers
[0671] Based on the above results, the particle size and PDI of the reconstituted sample after spraying with 0.2% chitosan (CTS) increased compared to those before spraying (107.5 nm vs. 99.2 nm), suggesting that the sample may have aggregated after spraying. Several other reconstituted solvents (0.24% Xc, 0.5% PVPK90, 0.1% HA, and 0.5% CMC-Na) were able to maintain the stability of the LNP particle structure before and after spraying.
[0672] At the same time, the above-mentioned complex solvents were screened using the viscosity of the sprayed liquid and the spray particle size as evaluation indicators. The structures are shown in Table 23 below:
[0673] Table 23. Screening of Resolvent Components - Viscosifiers (Spray Pattern and Mode)
[0674] The above results indicate that compared with spraying with water for injection (WFI), spraying with 0.5% PVPK90 and 0.2% CTS resulted in a higher viscosity, smaller spray area, and higher ellipticity. This suggests that reconstitution with 0.5% PVPK90 and 0.2% CTS results in a thicker solution, making it more difficult to achieve a better spray pattern (spray area and ellipticity). The spraying effects of the other reconstitution solvents (0.24% Xc, 0.1% HA, and 0.2% CTS) were not significantly different from those with water for injection (WFI).
[0675] Example 9. Determination of Resolvent Components
[0676] The resolvent components must be carefully considered, considering factors such as the viscosity of the spray solution after spraying, the stability of the LNP structure, and the spray morphology and pattern. The resolvent components were prepared according to Table 24 below. The spray was then prepared using a disposable nasal delivery device. Samples were collected after spraying to measure the viscosity of the spray solution, particle size, PDI, total mRNA content, and encapsulation efficiency. These were used as evaluation indicators for screening resolvent components. The results are shown in Table 25 below.
[0677] Table 24 Design of screening test for resolvent components
[0678] Table 25. Results of the screening of resolvent components
[0679] The experimental results show that the resolvent containing 1% PVP-K90 has the highest viscosity, followed by 0.5% PVP-K90, and the resolvent containing 0.25% PVP-K900 has the lowest viscosity. Changes in particle size and PDI before and after spraying, as well as changes in total mRNA content and encapsulation efficiency, and compared to WFI, show that the resolvent containing 1% PEG-400 has a lower encapsulation efficiency and total mRNA content after spraying compared to before spraying. Therefore, 0.2% PF68 + 1% PVP-K90, 0.2% PF68 + 0.5% PVP-K90, and 0.2% PF68 + 0.25% PVP-K90 are preferred as resolvent components.
[0680] Example 10. Determination of Reconstitution Components - HGF Expression
[0681] Furthermore, it is necessary to introduce the spray morphology and pattern as well as the biological activity of the main component of the spray solution (LNP) as key indicators to further screen and evaluate the resolvent components. The resolvent components are as follows:
[0682] 1) 1% PVP-K90 + 1% PEG-400
[0683] 2) 1% PVP-K90 + 0.2% PF68
[0684] 3) 0.5% PVP-K90 + 1% PEG-400
[0685] 4) 0.5% PVP-K90 + 0.2% PF68
[0686] 5)0.25% PVP-K90+1% PEG-400
[0687] 6) 0.25% PVP-K90 + 0.2% PF68
[0688] 7) 0.2% PF68
[0689] 8) 1.5% PK90
[0690] 9) 1% PEG-400
[0691] 10) 0.1% HEC
[0692] 11) 0.25% PVA
[0693] 12) 0.2% PF127
[0694] 13)WFI
[0695] Each reconstituted solution was prepared according to the above formula, and then filtered, filled, stoppered, and capped for use. A disposable nasal delivery device was used to transfer each reconstituted solution to the lyophilized powder and sprayed, and the sprayed sample was collected. The viscosity, osmotic pressure, particle size, PDI, encapsulation efficiency, total mRNA content, and spray pattern of the sprayed sample were tested. The collected samples were also tested for HGF expression in HEK293 cells (CCTCC). The results are shown in Table 26 below.
[0696] Table 26. Screening of Resolvent Components (Biological Activity)
[0697] As shown in Table 26, after reconstitution and spraying of the sample with Formulation 12 (0.2% PF127), HGF expression in the sample was almost zero, indicating that this component reconstitution solvent may have a significant destructive effect on the LNP, causing it to lose its biological activity after reconstitution and spraying. The reconstituted samples of Formulations 1 (1% PVP-K90 + 1% PEG-400), 2 (1% PVP-K90 + 0.2% PF68), 5 (0.25% PVP-K90 + 1% PEG-400), and 8 (1.5% PVP-K90) exhibited larger spray particle size, smaller spray area, and higher liquid viscosity after spraying. The reconstitution solvents of the remaining formulations all exhibited higher HGF expression levels, moderate viscosity, larger spray area, and smaller spray particle size.
