Description

A tumor-targeting long non-coding RNA molecule and its applications Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical biotechnology, specifically relating to a tumor-targeting long non-coding RNA molecule and its applications. Background Technology

[0002] Nucleic acid aptamers are single-stranded nucleic acid (DNA or RNA molecules) that can specifically bind to a target. They have small molecular weights, are easy to design and synthesize, and can fold into specific conformations to specifically bind to biological targets. Nucleic acid aptamers have advantages such as simple synthesis, easy modification, chemical stability, low immunogenicity, and low cost, making them promising novel, efficient, and stable molecular probes with great potential in early cancer diagnosis and precision targeted therapy, drug therapy, and biochemical sensing. However, nucleic acid aptamers also face many challenges, including poor stability and low delivery efficiency.

[0003] Furthermore, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNA molecules longer than 200 nucleotides. They do not participate in protein synthesis, but through mechanisms such as epigenetic remodeling, transcriptional interference, and subcellular structural assembly, they precisely control physiological and pathological processes such as development, immunity, and neural plasticity. Compared to nucleic acid aptamers, long non-coding RNAs are longer and can contain multiple functional modules with certain higher-order structures.

Similarly, if the number is to the right of "25", it means that the 182nt sequence extends by 3'.

In the figure, Blank is the molecular control with an equal amount of molecules; the Mock group is the control group with an equal amount of molecules after the same treatment steps as the serum incubation group (serum is first mixed with TRIZOL reagent to denature the serum, and then an equal amount of long non-coding RNA molecules are added to help determine the recovery rate of the extraction step); the inverted triangle "▽" marks the long non-coding RNA molecule band in the folded state, and the upright triangle "Δ" marks the long non-coding RNA molecule band in the linear state; the dashed box marks the modified sequence with the best serum stability (CAUαS modification).

[0200] Unless otherwise specified, the nucleic acid fragments represented by the sequence information in the following examples are all RNA fragments.

[0201] Example 1: Design, construction, and stability testing of long non-coding RNA molecules targeting tumors.

[0202] 1.1. Design, construction, and screening of the long non-coding RNA molecule lncD&T1

[0203] The main steps are as follows:

[0204] (1) Constructing a DNA library;

[0205] (2) An RNA library was obtained by in vitro transcription using a DNA library as a template;

[0206] (3) Incubate RNA libraries with cells for cell-level screening;

[0207] (4) Collect the incubated cells and extract RNA, and perform reverse transcription using specific primers. The primers are matched with the adapter sequence introduced in the library construction.

[0208] (5) The final RNA sub-library is used for NGS or Sanger sequencing to identify the most abundant nucleic acid fragments as delivery element candidates.

[0209] 5' adapter, sequence number SEQ ID NO.51:

[0210] 3' adapter, sequence number SEQ ID NO.52:

[0211] The candidate sequence obtained through the above screening process was named the long non-coding RNA molecule lncD&T1. The sequence was derived from human cells. In subsequent experiments, all lncD&T1 RNA molecules were prepared by in vitro transcription.

[0212] The nucleic acid sequence of lncD&T1 (number 25) is shown in SEQ ID NO.1.

[0213] SEQ ID NO.1 (the adapters at both ends are sequences introduced during library construction for screening):

[0214] SEQ ID NO.1:

[0215] The sequence after removing the connectors at both ends is SEQ ID NO. 53:

[0216] 6) In subsequent experiments, the sequence used as the negative control (NC) is shown in SEQ ID NO.2.

[0217] SEQ ID NO.2:

[0218] 1.2. A general method for labeling nucleic acids with Cy3 / Cy5 dyes

[0219] (1) In the in vitro transcription system using DNA as a template, in addition to adding the four unmodified ribonucleotides ATP, GTP, CTP, and UTP, Cy3-UTP or Cy5-UTP should be added (Cy3 labeling is suitable for RNA tracing at the cellular level, while Cy5 emission has a longer wavelength, better transdermal effect, and is suitable for in vivo animal tracing).

[0220] (2) Under the action of T7 RNA polymerase, Cy3 / Cy5-UTP is added to the RNA sequence in a random manner during RNA transcription, thereby achieving random labeling of RNA.

[0221] 1.3. Additional modifications to the stabilization module 2911

[0222] Furthermore, the sequence (2911) for enhancing nucleic acid stability, as shown in SEQ ID NO.3, is tandemly attached to the 3' or 5' end of a long non-coding RNA molecule to obtain a tandemly attached long non-coding RNA molecule with enhanced stability.

[0223] The sequence of 2911 is as shown in SEQ ID NO.3.

[0224] SEQ ID NO.3: GGAAGGGGGGAAGGAAAGGGA

[0225] 1.4. Stability test of long non-coding RNA molecule lncD&T1

[0226] Long non-coding RNA molecule lncD&T-1 (number 25), sequence 25-2911 (with 2911 tandemly at the 3' end), and sequence 2911-25 (with 2911 tandemly at the 5' end) were incubated with 10% fetal bovine serum. Samples were taken at time intervals (0, 20 min, 1 h, 3 h), and the stability of the sequences was then assessed by agarose gel electrophoresis. The results are shown in Figure 4.

[0227] The addition of stabilizing element 2911 to the flanking position of long non-coding RNA molecule number 25 significantly improves the serum stability of the sequence. Specifically,

[0228] When 2911 is added to the 5' end of 25, long non-coding RNA molecules can be preserved for up to 1 hour; when 2911 is added to the 3' end of 25, long non-coding RNA molecules can be preserved for up to 3 hours; while long non-coding RNA molecules alone can only be preserved for up to 20 minutes.

[0229] Similarly, when 100 ng of long non-coding RNA molecules were incubated in 95% mouse serum for 20 min to 1 h, the stability of the sequences was detected by agarose gel electrophoresis. It can be seen that the stability of all types of long non-coding RNA molecules was significantly increased after the addition of the stabilizing element 2911.

[0230] Example 2: Validation of the targeted delivery function of long non-coding RNA molecules to tumor cells in vitro (cell biology experiment)

[0231] Detecting the cell entry function of long non-coding RNA molecules in various cell lines

[0232] The following tumor cell lines were selected

[0233] Colorectal cancer: HCT116 (#CCL-247), HuTu80 (#HTB-40), KM12SM;

[0234] Liver cancer: MHCC-97H;

[0235] Pancreatic cancer: PANC-1 (#CRL-1469);

[0236] Stomach cancer: MKN74;

[0237] Osteosarcoma: Saos-2 (#HTB-85), U2OS (#HTB-96);

[0238] Cervical cancer: Hela (#CCL-2);

[0239] Breast cancer: SKBR3 (#HTB-30);

[0240] Prostate cancer: LNCap (#CRL-1740);

[0241] Leukemia: HEL 92.1.7(#TIB-180);

[0242] 2.1. Targeted delivery function test of long non-coding RNA molecules to tumor cells

[0243] The experimental method is as follows:

[0244] (1) Culture the cells in a 24-well plate (if it is a confocal detection experiment, the cells need to be placed in advance), and the density during the formal incubation experiment is about 80%-90%;

[0245] (2) The Cy3-labeled long non-coding RNA molecule lncD&T-1 was added to the serum-reduced medium to a final concentration of 100 nM. After incubation for 2 hours, RNase A was added to remove extracellular RNA, the cells were washed and fixed, and the cells were mounted for laser confocal microscopy detection.

[0246] Or (3) After incubation for 2 hours, the cell suspension treated with trypsin and washed was used for flow cytometry analysis of intracellular fluorescence signals;

[0247] The results are shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2.

[0248] As shown in Figure 1, the laser confocal microscopy results revealed clear intracellular pericellular signals, indicating that the tested long non-coding RNA molecules successfully entered HCT116 cells.

[0249] As shown in Figure 2, the flow cytometry results indicate that the tested long non-coding RNA molecules have delivery activity in various tumor cells and can effectively enter the tumor cell interior.

[0250] 2.2. Detection of transmembrane delivery efficiency of long non-coding RNA molecules modified with stable module functional elements

[0251] The method is the same as in the steps above.

[0252] Long non-coding RNA molecules lncD&T and their variants labeled with 100 nM Cy3 were incubated with different test cells for 2 hours. The cell suspensions were then trypsin-digested and washed for flow cytometry analysis. The long non-coding RNA molecules used in each group are as follows:

[0253] 25mut is a mutant of 25, with the sequence SEQ ID NO.4:

[0254] 3F30 is an immunomodulatory element, with the sequence SEQ ID NO.5:

[0255] 25sub5 is one of the subclones of 25, with the sequence SEQ ID NO.6:

[0256] 25-3F30 is a fusion fragment that connects the 3' end of the long non-coding RNA molecule numbered 25 to the 5' end of the 3F30 sequence;

[0257] 25sub5-2911 is a fusion fragment that connects the 3' end of the long non-coding RNA molecule numbered 25sub5 to the 5' end of the 2911 sequence;

[0258] The fusion fragment 25sub5-2911-3F30 is arranged sequentially from the 5' end to the 3' end as 25sub5, 2911, and 3F30.

[0259] The fusion fragment 25sub5-3F30-2911 is arranged sequentially from the 5' end to the 3' end as 25sub5, 3F30, and 2911.

[0260] The results are shown in Figure 5.

[0261] (1) After mutation (25mut) in the lncD&T1 sequence of long non-coding RNA molecules, the delivery activity targeting tumor cells is lost;

[0262] (2) The long non-coding RNA molecule lncD&T1(25) alone or conjugated with a specific sequence (3F30) still has the delivery activity targeting tumor cells;

[0263] (3) The delivery activity of the long non-coding RNA molecule lncD&T1 (25 and its subclone molecule 25sub5) to tumor cells was reduced after being modified by the stabilizing element 2911, but the delivery activity of the triplet fusion fragment was restored to the level of the unmodified stabilizing fragment.

[0264] Note: When a single long non-coding RNA molecule is modified with the 2911 stabilizing fragment, the secondary structure or active structure of the RNA is significantly affected by the stabilizing module (intracellular fluorescence intensity decreases). However, by further coupling the long non-coding RNA molecule with the 3F30 element to construct a triplet nucleic acid fragment, the secondary structure or active structure of the long non-coding RNA molecule and its transmembrane-mediated function are restored.

[0265] Furthermore, the stem structure, 20nt, 60nt and 80nt genomic flanking sequences from 3F30, the polyA tail (added to facilitate subsequent purification, which can be performed using oligo dT), and the 2911 sequence were added to the adapter-removed long non-coding RNA molecule 25 to construct the following long non-coding RNA molecule:

[0266] The stem structure sequence of 3F30 is (reverse complementary sequence):

[0267] The sequence is SEQ ID NO.7: GCAGUUGCCAUG

[0268] The sequence is SEQ ID NO.8: CAUGGCAACUGC

[0269] The 20nt, 60nt, and 80nt genome flanking sequences are as follows:

[0270] 20nt: The sequence is SEQ ID NO.9: CAGGGGGCUUUGUGACAUAC

[0271] 60nt: The sequence is SEQ ID NO.54:

[0272] 80nt: The sequence is SEQ ID NO.10:

[0273] F20-25-80F, sequence number SEQ ID NO.11:

[0274] F20-25-80F-2911, sequence number SEQ ID NO.12:

[0275] F60-25-80F, sequence number SEQ ID NO.13:

[0276] F60-25-80F-2911, sequence number SEQ ID NO.14:

[0277] 25-M2, with mutations at both ends of the original sequence, the sequence is SEQ ID NO.15:

[0278] 25-M2-2911, the original sequence was mutated at both ends, and stabilizing elements 2911 were added. The sequence is SEQ ID NO.16:

[0279] 25-M4, with mutations at both ends of the original sequence, the sequence is SEQ ID NO.17:

[0280] 25-M4-2911, the original sequence was mutated at both ends, and stabilizing elements 2911 were added. The sequence is SEQ ID NO.18.

[0281] The detection results are shown in Figure 12. In the colorectal cancer cell line HCT116, different long non-coding RNA molecules labeled with 100 nM Cy3 were incubated for 2 h, followed by incubation at 37 °C for 30 min (degradation of free nucleic acids) with 60 μg / mL RNase A. After washing once with PBS, trypsin was added to digest the cells, followed by the addition of complete culture medium to terminate the reaction. The cell suspension was collected, centrifuged, washed, and finally resuspended in PBS for flow cytometry detection.

[0282] The test results showed that

[0283] (1) Mutations in the linker sequence have little effect on delivery activity, while the core region segment (25sub7 / 16) retains a certain level of delivery activity;

[0284] (2) The delivery activity of 25, 25-M2, 25-M4, and 25sub7 / 16 was inhibited after the addition of 2911;

[0285] (3) The delivery activity of F20-25-80F and F60-25-80F is not affected by 2911.

[0286] 2.3. Functional testing of lncD&T1 modified variants of long non-coding RNA molecules

[0287] Similarly, using 100 nM Cy3-lncD&T1 and its various modified lncD&T1 variants, HCT116 tumor cells were incubated for 2 hours. The resulting cell suspension, after trypsin digestion and washing, was used for flow cytometry analysis.

[0288] The sequence of 25mut is SEQ ID NO.4:

[0289] The structural descriptions and sequences of the other modified variants are as follows:

[0290] 25sub-1 (with the 5' adapter removed), sequence number SEQ ID NO.19:

[0291] 25sub-2 (with the 3' adapter removed), sequence number SEQ ID NO.20:

[0292] 25sub-3 (5' adapter truncated by 23nt), sequence is SEQ ID NO.21:

[0293] 25sub-4 (3' adapter truncated by 23nt), sequence is SEQ ID NO.22:

[0294] 25sub-5 (the 5' / 3' adapter is truncated by 23nt), the sequence is SEQ ID NO.23:

[0295] 25sub-6 (deleted single-stranded regions 157–177), sequence number SEQ ID NO.24:

[0296] 25sub-7 (sub-1 with a further 20nt deletion at the 5' end), sequence number SEQ ID NO. 25:

[0297] 25sub-8 (with a further 20nt deletion at the 5' end compared to Sub-7), sequence number SEQ ID NO.26:

[0298] 25sub-9 (with a further 20nt deletion at the 5' end compared to Sub-8), sequence number SEQ ID NO. 27:

[0299] 25sub-10 (with a further 20nt deletion at the 5' end compared to Sub-9), sequence number SEQ ID NO.28:

[0300] 25sub-11 (with a further 20nt deletion at the 5' end compared to Sub-10), sequence number SEQ ID NO. 29:

[0301] 25sub-12 (with a further 20nt deletion at the 5' end compared to Sub-11), sequence number SEQ ID NO. 30:

[0302] 25sub-13 (with a further 20nt deletion at the 3' end compared to Sub-2), sequence number SEQ ID NO. 31:

[0303] 25sub-14 (with a further 20nt deletion at the 3' end compared to Sub-13), sequence number SEQ ID NO.32:

[0304] 25sub-15 (with a further 20nt deletion at the 3' end compared to Sub-14), sequence number SEQ ID NO. 33:

[0305] 25sub-16 (with a further 20nt deletion at the 3' end compared to Sub-15), sequence number SEQ ID NO. 34:

[0306] 25sub-17 (with a further 20nt deletion at the 3' end compared to Sub-16), sequence number SEQ ID NO. 35:

[0307] 25sub-18 (with a further 20nt deletion at the 3' end compared to Sub-17), sequence number SEQ ID NO. 36:

[0308] 25sub-7 / 16 (overlapping region of Sub-7 and Sub-16), sequence number SEQ ID NO.37:

[0309] The results are shown in Figure 8.

[0310] (1) The linker sequences at both ends of the long non-coding RNA molecule lncD&T1 (25) do not affect its function, but truncation of the sequence, especially the core region, will affect the function of the long non-coding RNA molecule lncD&T1.

[0311] 2.3. Cytotoxicity assay of long non-coding RNA molecules

[0312] The aforementioned long non-coding RNA molecules were seeded at 80 ng / well in 96-well plates and transfected into HCT116 cells with Lipofectamine RNAiMAX reagent. After 24 hours, the cytotoxicity of the long non-coding RNA molecules to the cells was detected by the CCK-8 assay. The results showed that the aforementioned long non-coding RNA molecules had no significant cytotoxicity.

[0317] CDX Model Construction

[0318] 1. After observing nude mice in isolation for one week without any obvious abnormalities, select groups with similar weights for future use;

[0319] 2. HCT116 cells were cultured using McCoy's 5a (10% fetal bovine serum + 1% penicillin-streptomycin). Once the cells reached the logarithmic growth phase, the cell pellet was collected and resuspended in PBS to a concentration of 5 × 10⁻⁶. 7 / ml;

[0320] 3. Wipe the skin of the mouse's back and shoulder blades with alcohol, and use a 1ml syringe to draw 100μL of cell suspension (1×10⁻⁶). 6 Injected into the right scapular region of the mouse;

[0321] 4. Observe the overall health of the mice routinely, and measure the tumor volume three times a week. When the volume reaches 500 mm², continue monitoring. 3 It should be incorporated into the experimental design.

[0322] Experimental methods

[0323] (1) HCT116 CDX model nude mice were administered drugs via tail vein injection (each of the long non-coding RNA molecules in Examples 1 and 2 above was given and labeled with Cy5). The drug administration injection dose gradient was: 1 μg / mouse, 5 μg / mouse, 10 μg / mouse, 20 μg / mouse, and 60 μg / mouse.

[0324] (2) In vivo imaging was performed at 1, 3 and 6 hours after injection to detect Cy5 signal;

[0325] (3) At the last time point, an autopsy was performed to detect Cy5 signals in various tissues and organs;

[0326] The results showed that

[0327] (1) Figure 3 shows that after administration, Cy5-labeled lncD&T1 exhibited good tumor tissue specificity at various doses, indicating that lncD&T1 also has significant tumor targeting function in vivo.

[0328] (2) Tumor fluorescence signal [p / s / cm2 / sr / (μw / cm2)] after administration of different types of long non-coding RNA molecules 2 The mean values ​​are shown in the table below;

[0329] In summary, the long non-coding RNA molecule lncD&T1(25) and its various variants / modifiers have significant delivery activity targeting solid tumors, and at the same time, they have high drug accumulation in the kidneys after administration.

[0330] 2. In vivo distribution of CDX-bearing tumor model in nude mice (Second group experiment)

[0331] Using the same CDX-bearing nude mouse model, the in vivo distribution of lncD&T1 conjugates was tested.

[0332] The administration method is tail vein, and the dosage is also 0.5 mg / kg.

[0333] The samples used were specifically:

[0334] 25 is a long non-coding RNA molecule of lncD&T1;

[0335] 25mut is a mutant of 25, with the sequence: SEQ ID NO.4

[0336] The 25sub5 subclone is a subclone of 25, with the sequence: SEQ ID NO.6

[0337] 25-3F30 is a fusion fragment that connects the 3' end of the long non-coding RNA molecule numbered 25 to the 5' end of the 3F30 sequence;

[0338] 25-2911 is a fusion fragment that connects the 3' end of the long non-coding RNA molecule numbered 25 to the 5' end of the 2911 sequence;

[0339] 25sub5-2911 is a fusion fragment that connects the 3' end of the long non-coding RNA molecule numbered 25sub5 to the 5' end of the 2911 sequence;

[0340] The fusion fragment 25sub5-3F30-2911 is arranged sequentially from the 5' end to the 3' end as 25sub5, 3F30, and 2911.

[0341] The results are shown in Figure 6.

[0342] (1) In vivo targeting tests showed that 25, 25-2911, and 25Sub-5 had no residual liver signal 6 hours after tail vein administration and had good tumor signal enrichment.

[0343] (2) Photographs of fluorescence signals collected from tissues and organs of the dissected model mouse. The order of tissues and organs from left to right and from top to bottom is: heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, brain, and tumor. Among them, "25mut" is a mutant of the 25 sequence without target delivery activity; "25Sub-5" is one of the subclones of 25; "2911" is a stable element; and "3F30" is an immune regulatory element.

[0344] As can be seen, unlike in vitro experiments, among the seven tested sequences, 25-2911, which was modified with a stabilizing element, not only had a better tumor-targeting signal but also higher specificity.

[0345] 3. The chemically modified long non-coding RNA molecule lncD&T-1(25) has a better tumor-targeting effect.

[0346] Using the same method and mouse model, the injection dose was 5 μg / mouse (0.25 mg / kg), and in vivo imaging was performed to detect Cy5 signal at 3 and 6 hours after injection;

[0347] 2'-OMe-25 is a chemically modified long non-coding RNA molecule lncD&T-1(25). (During in vitro transcription, 2'-OMe-UTP and 2'-OMe-CTP are incorporated. Since the modified sequence is also used for in vivo experimental tracking, Cy5-UTP is also present in the transcription system. Therefore, all the "C"s in the entire RNA are 2'-OMe modified "Cs," while the "U"s are divided into two categories: one part is modified with "2'-OMe," and the other part is unmodified but carries the Cy5 fluorescent group. The A and G in the RNA chain are unmodified.)

[0348] The results are shown in Figure 10.

[0349] 2'-OMe modification can effectively enhance the tumor-targeting signal intensity of the long non-coding RNA molecule lncD&T-1(25).

[0350] 4. Pharmacological experiments in tumor-bearing mouse models

[0351] (1) Balb / c mice were inoculated with CT26 cells to establish a tumor-bearing mouse model, 2.0 × 10 5 cells / animal, subcutaneously inoculated;

[0352] (2) The tumor grows to 120-130 mm 3 The medication was administered at a dose of 5 mg / kg via the tail vein, once every 3 days for a total of 4 doses.

[0353] (3) The specific groupings (three animals per group) are as follows:

[0354] 1) Solvent control group

[0355] 2) 25-2911_5mg / kg (iv, Q3D*4, once every 3 days, for 4 consecutive doses)

[0356] 3) 25M2-2911_5mg / kg (iv, Q3D*4)

[0357] 4) 25M4-2911_5mg / kg (iv, Q3D*4)

[0358] 5)F20-25-80F-2911_5mg / kg(iv,Q3D*4)

[0359] 6)F60-25-80F-2911_5mg / kg(iv,Q3D*4)"

[0360] Thirteen days after drug administration, the experiment was terminated, and tumor size was measured. The results (Figure 11) show...

[0361] (1) 25-2911 and F60-25-80F-2911 showed the strongest anti-tumor effects, with tumor inhibition rates (%TGI) of ~80.80% and 80.43%, respectively;

[0362] (2) Other groups also showed certain therapeutic effects.

[0363] Example 4: Delivery efficiency test of exogenous nucleic acid fragments mediated by long non-coding RNA molecules.

[0364] 1. Long non-coding RNA molecules can mediate the targeting of tumor cells by longer exogenous nucleic acid fragments.

[0365] (1) Using the long non-coding RNA molecule lncD&T-1(25) as a template, nucleic acid fragments of different lengths (20nt, 40nt, 60nt, 80nt, 100nt, 200nt) were added to its flanks. Specifically, 20-25 means that a 20nt flanking sequence (extended fragment) was added to the 5' end of the 25 sequence, and 100-25-100 means that a 100nt flanking sequence (extended fragment) was added to each end of the 25 sequence.

[0366] (2) Referring to the in vitro experimental steps of Example 2, HCT116 cells were treated with 100 nM for 2 hours, then treated with RNase A and washed. The cells were then used for flow cytometry analysis and laser confocal analysis, respectively.

[0377] 100-25-100, sequence number SEQ ID NO.48:

[0378] 200-25-200, the sequence is SEQ ID NO.49:

[0379] 400-25-400, sequence number SEQ ID NO.50:

[0380] The results are shown in Figure 9. It can be seen that...

[0381] Even after being conjugated with a longer extended fragment (60 nt or longer), lncD&T1(25) still maintains good delivery efficiency targeting tumor cells. This suggests that the long non-coding RNA molecule lncD&T1(25), which contains flanking sequences (extended fragments), can be used for tumor-targeted delivery of ncRNAs and exogenous protein genes.

[0382] Example 5: Optimization of Long Non-coding RNA Molecules

[0383] In Example 2 above, the adapter sequence of the long non-coding RNA molecule lncD&T1(25) was replaced to obtain a new long non-coding RNA molecule named 25M2 (SEQ ID NO.15). After stability testing and pharmacodynamic experiments (see Figure 12), the function of 25M2 was no weaker than that of the long non-coding RNA molecule lncD&T1(25). It can be seen that replacing the adapter sequence does not affect the activity of the long non-coding RNA molecule.

[0384] 2. Molecular optimization using modified ribonucleotide triphosphates instead of normal ribonucleotides.

[0385] To further optimize the stability of long non-coding RNA molecules, modified ribonucleotide triphosphates were used to replace normal ribonucleotides. The resulting RNA was more resistant to nucleases. The modified ribonucleotides completely replaced the corresponding ribonucleotides in the sequence (e.g., C, A, U, and G were replaced with CTPαS, ATPαS, UTPαS, and GTPαS, respectively). The modified 25M2-CαS indicates that all C values ​​in the 25M2 molecule were replaced with CTPαS; 25M2-CAUαS indicates that all C, A, and U values ​​in the 25M2 molecule were replaced with CTPαS, ATPαS, and UTPαS, respectively. The following functional verifications were performed.

[0386] 2.1 In vitro stability test

[0387] After incubating the long non-coding RNA molecules 25-CAUαS or 25M2-CAUαS, which had undergone CTPαS, ATPαS, and UTPαS substitutions, with 95% mouse serum for a certain period of time, the target long non-coding RNA molecules were extracted using a method similar to that described in the previous examples, and detected by agarose gel electrophoresis. The detection used unmodified long non-coding RNA molecules (25M2) as a control. The results are shown in Figure 13.

[0388] (1) The long non-coding RNA molecules with modified nucleotide substitutions maintained a level comparable to the (unincubated) control group after 60 minutes of incubation (marked by the black dashed box);

[0389] (2) Long non-coding RNA molecules that undergo nucleotide substitution have more folded states. (As shown).

[0390] (3) Among various modification methods, the whole sequence CAUαS modification has the best stability.

[0391] In the figure, the Mock group is formed by first mixing serum with TRIZOL reagent to denature the serum, and then adding an equal amount of long non-coding RNA molecules to determine the recovery rate of the extraction step; 0 min is the time point at which the long non-coding RNA molecules are immediately mixed with TRIZOL reagent after being mixed with serum, corresponding to the start of incubation.

[0392] 25M2-N1-Me-pUαS is: all UTPs in the 25M2 molecule are replaced with N1-Me-pUTPαS (CAS No.: 1428903-59-6), and the remaining triphosphate ribonucleotide monomers are unmodified. The RNA obtained under these conditions is named 25M2-N1-Me-pUαS.

[0393] 25M2-CαS is: all CTP in the 25M2 molecule is replaced with CTPαS (CAS No.: 110972-40-2), and the remaining triphosphate ribonucleotide monomers are unmodified. The RNA obtained under these conditions is named 25M2-CαS.

[0394] 25M2-CAαS is: CTP and ATP in the 25M2 molecule are replaced with CTPαS and ATPαS respectively (CAS No.: 29220-54-0), and the remaining triphosphate ribonucleotide monomers are unmodified monomers. The RNA obtained under these conditions is named 25M2-CAαS.

[0395] 25M2-CGαS is: CTP and GTP in the 25M2 molecule are replaced with CTPαS and GTPαS respectively, and the remaining triphosphate ribonucleotide monomers are unmodified. The RNA obtained under these conditions is named 25M2-CGαS.

[0396] 25M2-CUαS is: CTP and UTP in the 25M2 molecule are replaced with CTPαS and UTPαS respectively (CAS No.: 18875-71-3), and the remaining triphosphate ribonucleotide monomers are unmodified. The RNA obtained under these conditions is named 25M2-CUαS.

[0397] 25M2-CAGαS is: CTP, ATP, and GTP in the 25M2 molecule are replaced with CTPαS, ATPαS, and GTPαS, respectively, and the remaining triphosphate ribonucleotide monomers are unmodified. The RNA obtained under these conditions is named 25M2-CAGαS.

[0398] 25M2-CAUαS is: CTP, ATP, and UTP in the 25M2 molecule are replaced with CTPαS, ATPαS, and UTPαS, respectively, and the remaining triphosphate ribonucleotide monomers are unmodified. The RNA obtained under these conditions is named 25M2-CAUαS.

[0399] 25M2-CAGUαS is: CTP, ATP, UTP and GTP in the 25M2 molecule are replaced with CTPαS, ATPαS, UTPαS and GTPαS respectively. The RNA obtained under this condition is named 25M2-CAUαS.

[0400] 2.2. The CAUαS-modified molecules still exhibit good delivery activity in various tumor cell lines.

[0401] Using a method similar to that described in the previous embodiments, Cy3-labeled 25M2-CAUαS molecules were incubated with 42 tumor cell lines, followed by trypsin digestion and washing. Finally, the proportion of test cells with Cy3 signal was detected by flow cytometry to determine the efficiency of 25M2-CAUαS molecules entering the cells (two incubation doses of 10 nM and 33 nM).

[0402] The results are shown in Figure 14, indicating that all tumor cells had a high Cy3 positivity rate, suggesting that the CAUαS-modified molecule still has good targeted delivery function to tumor cells; in the figure, MCF 10A is a human normal breast epithelial cell, which serves as a non-tumor cell control.

[0403] 2.3. In vivo activity test of CAUαS-modified molecules

[0404] Using a method similar to that described in the previous embodiments, the Cy5-labeled 25M2-CAUαS sequence was administered to HCT116CDX model mice via tail vein injection. Cy5 signaling in various tissues, organs, and tumors was detected 48 hours later upon dissection.

[0405] The results are shown in Figure 15, indicating that:

[0406] The CAUαS-modified molecule showed a stronger signal intensity in tumors than the unmodified molecule, suggesting that the improved stability also leads to better in vivo efficacy.

[0407] 2.4 The modified molecules enhance the stimulation of inflammatory cytokines.

[0408] HCT116 cells were transfected with equal amounts of 25M2 and 25M2-CAUαS molecules (cell density ~80%, final transfection concentration 10 nM). Cells were collected 24 hours later to detect the expression levels of typical immune-related inflammatory cytokines.

[0409] The results, as shown in Figure 16, indicate that the thiolated molecules have a stronger activating ability for immune-related inflammatory cytokines than the unmodified molecules.

[0524] Example 7: Conjugation and activity assay of long non-coding RNA molecules with toxin molecules

[0525] Taking methylaurestatin E (MMAE) toxin as an example, MMAE molecules can be conjugated using a direct linking method well known to those skilled in the art, or a bridging nucleic acid fragment can be used to link the two.

[0526] 7.1. Coupling a single toxin molecule (MMAE) via a bridging nucleic acid fragment (bridge)

[0527] The long non-coding RNA molecule and MMAE toxin are coupled by bridging nucleic acid fragments. The method of coupling long non-coding RNA molecules and MMAE by bridging nucleic acid fragments is as follows;

[0528] (1) Preparation of bridging nucleic acid fragment-MMAE conjugate

[0529] A 5'-SH modified bridge2sense-SH sequence was obtained using a solid-phase nucleic acid synthesis method (the 5'-end of the sequence was modified with the linker compound LKmd5). Using a liquid-phase organic synthesis method, bridge2 sense-SH was coupled with maleimide-modified MMAE (Mc-VcMMAE, CAS: 646502-53-6) via Michael addition to obtain the bridge2 sense-MMAE-01 conjugate. This conjugate was then hydrolyzed under appropriate conditions (pH 10–12) to obtain the succinimide-hydrolyzed ring-opening bridge2 sense-MMAE molecule.

[0530] (2) Preparation of long noncoding RNA molecule-MMAE conjugate

[0531] A bridge2 antisense fragment complementary to the aforementioned bridge2 sense fragment is added to the end of a long non-coding RNA molecule. Then, the long non-coding RNA molecule is coupled to bridge2 sense-MMAE-01 or a succinimide-hydrolyzed bridge2 sense-MMAE molecule by means of the complementarity of bridge2 sense and bridge2 antisense through annealing hybridization, to obtain a long non-coding RNA molecule-bridge-MMAE-01 conjugate or a succinimide-hydrolyzed bridge2 sense-MMAE conjugate.

[0532] 7.2. Couple multiple MMAEs through complementary bridge segments

[0533] Long non-coding RNA molecules and multiple MMAE toxins are coupled by bridging nucleic acid fragments. The method of coupling long non-coding RNA molecules and MMAEs by bridging nucleic acid fragments is as follows;

[0534] (1) Preparation of bridging nucleic acid fragment-MMAE conjugate

[0535] Using the various adaptor compounds prepared in Example 6 to couple MMAE and bridge nucleic acid fragments, taking the adaptor LKa12-P as an example, the specific steps are as follows:

[0536] A solid-phase nucleic acid synthesis method was used (the 5' end of the nucleic acid sequence was modified with the linker precursor LKmd4) to obtain the bridge2 sense-NH2 sequence with 5'-NH2. In a liquid-phase organic synthesis reaction, bridge2 sense-NH2 was condensed with LKa12-P, which has a carboxyl-activated ester group, and then subjected to disulfide bond cleavage to obtain bridge2 sense-(SH)4 with four active thiol groups. The four SH groups were then subjected to a Michael addition coupling reaction with maleimide-modified MMAE (Mc-VcMMAE, CAS: 646502-53-6) to obtain the bridge2 sense-(MMAE)4-01 conjugate. This conjugate was then hydrolyzed under appropriate conditions (pH 10–12) to obtain four succinimide-hydrolyzed ring-opening bridge2 sense-(MMAE)4 molecules.

[0537] (2) Preparation of long non-coding RNA molecules-MMAE conjugates coupled with multiple MMAEs

[0538] A bridge2 antisense fragment complementary to the aforementioned bridge2 sense fragment is added to the end of a long non-coding RNA molecule. Then, the long non-coding RNA molecule is coupled to bridge2 sense-(MMAE)4-01 or a succinimide-hydrolyzed ring-opened bridge2 sense-(MMAE)4 molecule by means of the complementarity of bridge2 sense and bridge2 antisense through annealing hybridization, to obtain a long non-coding RNA molecule-bridge2-(MMAE)4-01 conjugate or a succinimide-hydrolyzed ring-opened long non-coding RNA molecule-bridge2-(MMAE)4 conjugate.

[0541] In CT26 tumor-bearing mouse models (tumor volume 80–150 mm² before drug administration) 3 The drug was administered via tail vein at a dose of 5 mg / kg to 6 animals in each group. The drug was administered once every 3 days for 5 consecutive days. Tumor volume was measured (Figure 17), and overall survival was observed. The results showed that:

[0542] (1) 25M2-CAUαS-MMAE has a clear antitumor effect, and all patients remained alive up to day 30 after administration (Figure 17B).

[0543] (2) The chimeric molecules of 25M2-AUαS, 25M2-CUαS, and 25M2-CAUαS with the toxin had TGI values ​​of 90.4%, 99.7%, and 105.8% at the experimental endpoint, respectively (Figure 17A).

[0544] Further investigation of the efficacy of high and low doses (1 mg / kg and 5 mg / kg) showed that both the tumor proliferation curve and survival curve indicated that the efficacy was dose-dependent and superior to that of MMAE alone (the equivalent doses of MMAE corresponding to 1 mg / kg and 5 mg / kg 25M2-CAUαS-MMAE were 0.008 mg / kg and 0.041 mg / kg, respectively) (Figure 17C).

[0545] (3) The 25M2 molecule without CAUαS modification, when conjugated to toxin Eribulin via the bridge bridging fragment in the same way as described in Section 7.1 above, also showed clear antitumor efficacy in the same tumor-bearing mouse model (6 animals per group, administered once every 3 days for 5 consecutive times during the experiment) (Figure 17D).

[0546] 7.4. Pharmacological evaluation of long non-coding RNA molecules coupled with multiple toxin molecules.

[0547] As described in Section 7.2 above, 25M2-CAUαS can be coupled with multiple toxins.

[0548] The efficacy evaluation method is the same as in Section 7.3, using CT26 tumor-bearing mice (tumor volume 80–150 mm² before administration). 3 25M2-CAUαS was conjugated to 1, 2, and 4 MMAEs, respectively, and administered via tail vein at a dose of 0.3 mg / kg. Five animals were in each group. The drug was administered once every 3 days for 5 consecutive days. The experiment was terminated on the 13th day after the first administration, and the tumors were harvested and weighed. The results are shown in Figure 18. The efficacy of the conjugated molecule was positively correlated with the number of conjugated toxins (DAR).

[0549] Experimental results

[0550] The efficacy of the drug is positively correlated with DAR (a common parameter in ADC, Drug-Antibody-Rate) and the number of conjugated toxins (DAR), as shown in Figure 18.

[0551] 7.5. In vivo dose-response relationship study of 25M2-CAUαS-4MMAE

[0552] (1) Pharmacological evaluation of 25M2-CAUαS-bridge2-(MMAE)4-01 conjugate (unopened ring)

[0553] The efficacy evaluation method was the same, using the CT26 tumor-bearing model (tumor volume 80-150 mm² before drug administration). 3 The long non-coding RNA molecule bridge2-(MMAE)4-01 conjugate was administered via tail vein at dose gradients of 0.3, 1, 3, and 6 mg / kg (the control group MMAE used an equivalent dose of 0.1967 mg / kg of the test substance at 6 mg / kg). The drug was administered once every 3 days for 5 consecutive times, with continuous measurement of tumor volume and observation of overall survival.

[0554] The results, as shown in Figure 19A, indicate that the tumor proliferation curve and the experimental endpoint of tumor weight have a clear dose-response relationship with the dose, and are superior to the MMAE group.

[0555] (2) Pharmacological evaluation of the 25M2-CAUαS-bridge2-(MMAE)4 conjugate formed by succinimide hydrolysis ring opening

[0556] The efficacy evaluation method was the same, using the CT26 tumor-bearing model (tumor volume 80-150 mm² before drug administration). 3The drug was administered via tail vein. The dose gradient of the succinimide-hydrolyzed long non-coding RNA molecule bridge2-(MMAE)4 conjugate was 1, 3, and 6 mg / kg (the control group MMAE used an equivalent dose of 0.1967 mg / kg of the test substance at 6 mg / kg). The drug was administered once every 3 days for 5 consecutive times. Tumor volume was continuously measured and overall survival was observed.

[0557] The results are shown in Figure 19B. The results indicate that the succinimide-hydrolyzed long non-coding RNA molecule bridge2-(MMAE)4 conjugate has better antitumor efficacy. Two tumor-free mice were observed in the 6 mg / kg group on day 13 after administration. On day 13 after administration, the TGI (tumor growth inhibition rate) of all three dose groups was greater than 90%.

[0558] The above results indicate that long non-coding RNA molecules have the function of acting as carriers for cytotoxic drugs, thereby improving / extending the efficacy of antitumor cytotoxic drugs.

[0559] Example 7: Long non-coding RNA molecules / modified long non-coding RNA molecules used as vectors for delivering siRNA

[0560] 1. 25M2 was used for siRNA delivery assays. The molecular construction process is as follows:

[0561] (1) A bridge2-sense sequence (as shown in SEQ ID NO.55) is added to the 3' end of the positive strand of the target siRNA used for delivery.

[0562] SEQ ID NO.55:GGCUAUCUAGAAUGUACGCGGUA, can be modified in various ways, such as MOE\Ps\2'-OMe, etc.

[0563] (2) A bridge 2 antisense fragment complementary to the aforementioned bridge 2-sense fragment was added to the 3' end of the 25M2 molecule (the sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.56).

[0564] SEQ ID NO.56:CAUUACCGCGUACAUUCUAGAUAGCC, can use various modification modes, such as MOE\Ps\2'-OMe, etc.;

[0565] (3) By annealing hybridization, the target siRNA and 25M2 molecule are coupled through complementary bridge2-sense and bridge2-antisense fragments to prepare a long non-coding RNA molecule with coupled siRNA.

[0566] 2. The delivery activity detection test is as follows:

[0567] (1) Following the method described in the previous embodiment, flow cytometry analysis showed no significant difference in the Cy3 positivity rate of PANC-1 cells before and after conjugation of Cy3-labeled 25M2 with siRNA (Figure 20A), indicating that loading siRNA onto the 3'-end of 25M2 does not interfere with its delivery activity.

[0568] (2) Functional tests were conducted using siRNA targeting KRAS as the target siRNA. 25M2-siRNA was introduced into PANC-1 cells through transfection and incubation. After 24 hours, the knockdown of the target gene (KRAS) mRNA was detected. The results showed (Figure 20B) that 10nM transfection and 100nM incubation had comparable knockdown efficiency for KRAS mRNA, and the KRAS protein level was also significantly downregulated under incubation.

[0569] siRNA-1sense(KRAS):SEQ ID NO.57:GUUGGAGCUGAUGGCGUAA;

[0570] siRNA-1antisense(KRAS):SEQ ID NO.58:UUACGCCAUCAGCUCCAACUA;

[0571] siRNA-2sense(KRAS):SEQ ID NO.59:GUUGGAGCUGUUGGCGUAA;

[0572] siRNA-2antisense(KRAS):SEQ ID NO.60:UUACGCCAACAGCUCCAACUA;

[0573] 3. Detect the knockdown activity of 25M2-siRNA (KRAS) chimera molecules on target genes in tumor tissue in tumor-bearing mouse models.

[0574] Similarly, the aforementioned 25M2-siRNA molecule targeting KRAS was administered via tail vein, with the 25M2 delivery element alone serving as a control. Two CT26 tumor-bearing mice (n=2) were used in each of the control and experimental groups. The mice were administered the drug once every 3 days for 3 consecutive times at a dose of 5 mg / kg. Tumor tissue was collected 24 hours after the last administration to detect the knockdown of the target gene (Figure 21).

[0575] RT-qPCR results showed that Kras mRNA levels in tumor tissue were downregulated to approximately 50% in the 25M2-siRNA administration group.

[0576] Immunoblotting analysis showed that the Kras protein level in tumor tissue was significantly downregulated in the 25M2-siRNA administration group.

[0577] Example 8: Long non-coding RNA molecules / modified long non-coding RNA molecules for delivery of bivalent or multivalent forms of ASO

[0578] Long non-coding RNA molecules coupled with bivalent or multivalent ASOs were constructed using the following design approach:

[0579] (1) Two or more ASO molecules are tandemly connected by a linker or directly tandemly to obtain divalent / multivalent ASO molecules;

[0580] (2) The addition of a sequence to the 3' end of 25M2 and one of the ASO reverse complementary sequences;

[0581] (3) After hybridization and coupling, long non-coding RNA molecules or modified long non-coding RNA molecules can be coupled with divalent ASO molecules to form conjugates;

[0582] This embodiment uses ASO targeting AR (androgen receptor) for testing.

[0583] Using the above design approach, two bivalent ASO molecules, BivalentASO-1(AR) (SEQ ID NO. 61, underlined portion is the ASO1 sequence complementary to the long non-coding RNA molecule) and BivalentASO-2(AR) (SEQ ID NO. 62, underlined portion is the ASO1 sequence complementary to the long non-coding RNA molecule), were constructed. Furthermore, each ASO was modified as follows: three cEts on each side, with a plain DNA base in the middle, the sequence was fully thiolated, and the two ASOs were linked by LKmd5.

[0584] SEQ ID NO.61: TGCCAGTGAACATACATAGAAAGTTGTAGTAGTCGCGA

[0585] SEQ ID NO.62: TGCCAGTGAACATACATAGTGCCAGTGAACATACATAA

[0586] And 25M2-ASO antisense, which is complementary to the divalent ASO molecule.

[0587] The sequence is SEQ ID NO.63 (the underlined portion is the antisense region that is inversely complementary to ASO1):

[0588] SEQ ID NO.63:

[0589] The chimeric molecules formed by annealing the above two bivalent ASOs (Bivalent ASO-1 / Bivalent ASO-2) with 25M2-ASO antisense are named 25M2-AR-ASO-1 and 25M2-AR-ASO-2.

[0590] Two 25M2-AR-ASO incubators were used to incubate prostate cancer cell lines 22Rv1 and LNCap at a concentration of 500 nM. After 48 hours of incubation, cells were collected and AR mRNA expression was detected by RT-qPCR. The results showed that 25M2-AR-ASO incubation could effectively knock down the target gene AR (Figure 22).

[0591] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to help those skilled in the art understand the essence of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
