Description
Novel lipid nanoparticle composition for genetic manipulation within immune cells
[0001] The present invention relates to a lipid nanoparticle (LNP) composition for the production of immune cells transformed by CAR, characterized by comprising a lipid or cholesterol substitute based on an oligo-gamma-glutamic acid derivative that replaces CAR-expressed nucleic acid and PEGylated lipids, a helper lipid based on vitamin C, and an ionized lipid based on pantothenic acid and panthenol.
[0002] Over the decades, methods for treating cancer have steadily changed and evolved. From the 1800s to the 1900s, surgical procedures, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy were primarily used; however, as their limitations began to emerge, cell therapy methods involving the extraction of immune cells from the body, their enhancement or genetic modification, and their subsequent reintroduction are being developed. Representative examples include Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TILs), Chimeric Antigen Receptors (CARs), and T-Cell Receptors (TCRs). In particular, research and clinical trials utilizing CARs, which are artificial receptors created through genetic recombination, are currently underway. However, cell therapy methods or gene therapies employing the aforementioned genetic modifications face numerous challenges, including undesirable immune responses and safety issues, due to the incorporation of genes at random locations within the genome. In this regard, DNA-transformed immune cells (CAR-NK cells (Chimeric Antigen Receptor Natural Killer cells) or CAR-T cells (Chimeric Antigen Receptor T cells)) have a fundamental problem in that safety is not guaranteed because the CAR gene is integrated into the genome or mutations occur, and NK cells, in particular, are known to be difficult to transfect. Since receptor expression is low in NK cells, the transfection efficiency within NK cells of lenti or retroviruses pseudotyped with VSV-G glycoprotein, which are mainly used in existing CAR-T therapy clinical trials or pharmaceuticals, is extremely low. Instead, RD114 or BaEV pseudotyped lenti / retroviruses can be used for the transfection of NK cells, but they have the disadvantage of being difficult to produce GMP-level viral titers.
[0003] To address this, the design of transgenic immune cells mediated by non-viral delivery methods using mRNA is required. Delivery methods for mRNA in non-viral gene manipulation include direct injection, electroporation, physical methods using gene guns, and various chemical delivery methods based on lipid complexes, peptides, polymers, inorganic materials, and metals. Among these, electroporation is widely used for the non-viral transfection of immune cells, including NK cells. However, it has disadvantages such as limited gene delivery capacity for mass production, low cell viability, and batch-specific variability due to electroporation. Therefore, establishing an efficient non-viral delivery system is essential for large-scale immune cell engineering.

[0301] Methyl 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoate 35 (1 g, 1 equivalent) was added to a 100 mL three-necked flask connected to a Teflon-coated elliptical magnetic stirrer, a 100 mL pressure-balancing dropping funnel fitted with a rubber stopper, a CaCl₂ drying tube, and a rubber stopper. Dichloromethane anhydrous (DCM, 20 mL) was injected into the reaction flask using a syringe, and stirring was started. The suspension was cooled to 0°C. Subsequently, H nig base (DMAP; 4 g, 6 equivalents) was added via a syringe over a period of 1 minute. Subsequently, methoxymethyl chloride (MOM-Cl; 1.75 g, 4 equivalents) and anhydrous DCM (30 mL) were placed in a dropping funnel and manually stirred. This solution was slowly dropwise added to the clear reaction mixture over 30 minutes, and after the dropping was complete, the reaction mixture was slowly raised to room temperature (25°C) while stirring was continued for 18 hours. The progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC (SiO₂; hexane / ethyl acetate 6:4, PMA staining). After the reaction was complete, the reaction mixture was poured with a saturated aqueous NH₄Cl solution (40 mL) and DCM (10 mL), and the layers were separated. The aqueous layer was further extracted with DCM (30 mL twice). The organic layer was bonded, washed with brine (30 mL), and dried with MgSO₄; the solvent was removed by vacuum distillation after filtration. The resulting residue was purified by flash column chromatography (SiO₂; hexane / ethyl acetate 8:2 to 5:5, v / v), and methyl 3,4,5-tris(methoxymethoxy)benzoate 36 (1.52 g, 89%) was obtained in the form of a white solid.

The mixture was heated at 50°C for 5 hours. The progress of the reaction was monitored using TLC (SiO₂; hexane / ethyl acetate / formic acid = 6:4:0.1; UV active). After the reaction was complete, the reaction mixture was vacuum distilled to evaporate the methanol, poured into ice water, and carefully acidified to pH 3 using 1 M hydrochloric acid (HCl). The resulting mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel and extracted with ethyl acetate (30 mL each, a total of 4 times). After bonding the organic layer, it was dried with magnesium sulfate (MgSO₄), filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by flash column chromatography (SiO₂; chloroform / acetone / toluene / formic acid = 85:5:10:1, v / v / v / v) and subsequently recrystallized using chloroform and hexane to obtain 3,4,5-tris(methoxymethoxy)benzoic acid 37 (1.16 g, 81%) as a white solid.

[0332] Synthesis of 2-((2-hexyldecyl)oxy)-2-oxoethyl 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoate (GA13-1, chemical formula 2-4)
[0333] In a 50 mL oven-dried one-neck round-bottom flask equipped with a Teflon-coated rod-shaped magnetic stirrer, a solution of 2-((2-hexyldecyl)oxy)-2-oxoethyl 3,4,5-tris(methoxymethoxy)benzoate 44 (500 mg, 1 equivalent) dissolved in isopropanol (i-PrOH, 30 mL) was stirred, and a catalytic amount of concentrated hydrochloric acid (HCl, 7.33 μL, 0.1 equivalent) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at 500 rpm for 2 hours at room temperature, and since the desired product decomposes if the reaction time is prolonged, the progress of the reaction was monitored every 20 minutes using TLC (SiO₂; hexane / ethyl acetate = 7:3, PMA staining).
[0334] Once it was confirmed via TLC analysis that the starting material was completely consumed, the reaction mixture was poured into a saturated sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution (50 mL), followed by extraction of the aqueous layer with dichloromethane (DCM, 40 mL three times) and washing with brine (30 mL once). The organic layer was dried with magnesium sulfate (MgSO₄), filtered, and the solvent removed by vacuum distillation. The concentrated mixture was purified by flash column chromatography (SiO₂; hexane / ethyl acetate / acetic acid = 70:30:1 from 90:10:1, v / v / v) to obtain 2-((2-hexyldecyl)oxy)-2-oxoethyl 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoate (GA13-1, compound of chemical formula 2-4) (301 mg, yield 78%) as an off-white solid.

[0337] Example 4. Preparation of lipid nanoparticles containing novel lipids
[0338] Lipid nanoparticle carriers were prepared with the compositions shown in Tables 1 and 2 below using two novel oligo-gamma-glutamic acid derivatives represented by Chemical Formula 1-1 or Chemical Formula 1-2, two vitamin C-based helper lipids, and ten pantothenic acid and panthenol-based ionized lipids.
[0339] Lipid nanoparticles were prepared by rapidly mixing an RNA solution (50 mM sodium citrate buffer, 110 mM sodium chloride, pH=4.0) and a lipid mixture (ethanol, dimethyl sulfoxide) using a laboratory mixer and emulsifier (NanoAssemblr Spark, Precision Nanosystems, Inc.), and then the solvent was converted to physiological saline or phosphate buffered saline using a centrifugation filter tube (UFC5010, Amicon). Tables 1 and 2 show lipid nanoparticles prepared using mRNA expressing green fluorescence protein (GFP) and mRNA expressing chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), respectively.

[0346] Example 5. Primary screening of novel lipid nanoparticles via GFP expression
[0347] Lipid nanoparticles GFP001 with a composition developed by the inventor and GFP002 with a conventionally used composition were prepared using the commercially available ionized lipid SM-102. Additionally, lipid nanoparticles GFP003 and GFP004 were prepared by replacing SM-102 in lipid nanoparticles GFP001 and GFP002 with a novel pantothenic acid-based ionized lipid [Formula 3-1]. The composition and structural physicobiochemical characteristics of the lipid nanoparticles (GFP 001 to 004) encapsulating GFP mRNA are shown in Table 1 above. Specifically, the composition values in the table represent mol% and include the diameter, polydispersity index (PDI), and zeta potential of the prepared particles measured using dynamic light scattering.
[0348] Using the prepared particles, experiments were conducted as follows to confirm the viability and intracellular GFP expression rate of peripheral blood natural killer (PBNK) cells, and the results are shown in Figure 1. First, primary PBNK cells (1 M cell / 500 μL) dispersed in MACS medium were inoculated into a 24-well cell culture plate. Then, lipid nanoparticles encapsulated with CAR mRNA were added to each well at a concentration of 3 μg / 50 μL based on RNA and mixed thoroughly. After culturing for 3 hours, serum equivalent to 5% of the medium volume was added, and the cells were cultured for another 3 hours. After washing the cells with phosphate-buffered saline, they were stained with Live / Dead dye. Subsequently, the green fluorescence of intracellularly expressed GFP and the far-infrared fluorescence intensity of the dead cells were measured using a flow cytometer. Lipid nanoparticles containing SM-102 (GFP 001, 002) showed cell viability ranging from 31.2% to 54.4%, but the GFP expression rate was significantly low at less than 6%. On the other hand, lipid nanoparticles containing novel ionized lipids (Chemical Formula 3-1) (GFP 003, 004) showed very low cell viability ranging from 5.98% to 2.41%, but the GFP expression rate increased significantly to 43.9–46.0% solely through the replacement of ionized lipids. Consequently, it was confirmed that SM-102 reduces the efficiency of mRNA delivery to primary NK cells, and that cell viability decreases when GFP mRNA is successfully delivered into cells by introducing novel ionized lipids.
[0349] The inventors intended to prepare lipid nanoparticles using an oligo-gamma-glutamic acid derivative to increase the activity of NK cells and introduce mRNA into the cells.
[0350] Lipid nanoparticles (GFP005) were prepared using the oligo-gamma-glutamic acid derivative of Formula 1-1 and a novel pantothenic acid-based ionized lipid (Formula 3-1), and their composition and structural physicobiochemical properties are shown in Table 1 above. Specifically, the composition values in the table represent mol% and include the diameter, PDI, and zeta potential of the prepared particles measured using dynamic light scattering.
[0351] Experiments were conducted as described above using the prepared particles, and the viability of PBNK cells and intracellular GFP expression rates were confirmed through flow cytometry; the results are shown in Figure 2. Lipid nanoparticle GFP005, containing 10 mol% of the oligo-gammaglutamic acid derivative of Formula 1-1 by replacing all of DMG-PEG2000 and part of cholesterol in lipid nanoparticle GFP004, significantly improved cell viability to 76.0% and increased GFP expression efficiency to 70.1%. Consequently, the oligo-gammaglutamic acid derivative of Formula 1-1 significantly improved cell viability and GFP expression efficiency, while using ionized lipids of Formula 3-1 demonstrated high delivery efficiency.
[0352] A deficiency in vitamin C (ascorbic acid) can cause damage to NK cell function, and the presence of ascorbic acid is known to be beneficial for the proliferation of NK cells. Accordingly, the inventors intended to prepare lipid nanoparticles using vitamin C-based lipids to introduce mRNA into NK cells.
[0353] Experiments were conducted as described above using lipid nanoparticle GFP001, the control group in Table 1, and lipid nanoparticles GFP008 to GFP020 containing vitamin C-based lipids (6-palmitoyl ascorbic acid and 2,6-dipalmitoyl ascorbic acid). The viability of PBNK cells and the intracellular GFP expression rate were confirmed through flow cytometry, and the results are shown in Figures 3 and 4, respectively.
[0354] The results for lipid nanoparticles GFP008 to GFP013 containing the ionized lipid SM-102 are shown in Figure 3. Lipid nanoparticle GFP008, in which DOPE, the helper lipid of GFP001, was replaced with 6-palmitoyl ascorbic acid, did not significantly affect cell viability. Lipid nanoparticles GFP009 and GFP010, in which 6-palmitoyl ascorbic acid was increased from 10 mol% to 15 mol% and n-butyl lithocholate and 6,6'-trehalose dioleate were lowered by 5 mol%, respectively, showed a slight increase in cell viability to 32.8% and 32.2%. Lipid nanoparticle GFP011, in which DOPE, the helper lipid of GFP001, was replaced with 2,6-dipalmitoyl ascorbic acid, showed a significant increase in cell viability to 51.5%. Lipid nanoparticles GFP012 and GFP013, in which 2,6-dipalmitoyl ascorbic acid was increased from 10 mol% to 15 mol% in GFP011 and n-butyl lithocholate and 6,6'-trehalose dioleate were lowered by 5 mol%, respectively, showed cell viability that was slightly decreased or increased to 39.5% and 53.0%, respectively. Consequently, lipid nanoparticles containing 15 mol% or more of vitamin C-based lipid 6-palmitoyl ascorbic acid or containing 10 mol% to 15 mol% of 2,6-dipalmitoyl ascorbic acid can increase cell viability.
[0355] Based on the results of Figure 3, cell viability and GFP expression rates were confirmed upon the introduction of lipid nanoparticles GFP014 to GFP020 containing pantothenic acid ionized lipid formula 3-1 into cells, and the results are shown in Figure 4.
[0356] Lipid nanoparticle GFP014, in which the ionized lipid SM-102 and 6,6'-Dioleyl trehalose of lipid nanoparticle GFP010 were replaced with 30 mol% of the ionized lipid pantothenic acid formula 3-1 and 2,6-dipalmitoyl ascorbic acid was replaced with 30 mol% of 6-palmitoyl ascorbic acid, showed a slight increase in cell viability to 46.2%, but exhibited a low GFP expression rate of 27.1%. Lipid nanoparticles GFP015 and GFP016, in which the ionized lipid SM-102 of lipid nanoparticles GFP011 and GFP013 were replaced with the ionized lipid pantothenic acid formula 3-1, did not significantly affect cell viability to 54.5%–55.6%, but exhibited a low GFP expression rate of 9.26%–3.95%. Lipid nanoparticle GFP017, in which the ionized lipid SM-102 of lipid nanoparticle GFP010 was replaced with the ionized lipid pantothenic acid formula 3-1, 6,6'-Dioleyl trehalose was reduced by 5 mol%, and 6-palmitoyl ascorbic acid was increased by 5 mol%, showed a slightly increased cell viability of 50.4%, but a low GFP expression rate of 28.9%. Lipid nanoparticle GFP018, in which the ionized lipid SM-102 of lipid nanoparticle GFP002 was replaced with the ionized lipid pantothenic acid formula 3-1, showed a somewhat low cell viability of 30.0% but a high GFP expression rate of 86.8%. Lipid nanoparticle GFP019, in which the ratio of pantothenic acid ionized lipid formula 3-1 was lowered by 5 mol% and 2,6-dipalmitoyl ascorbic acid was increased by 5 mol% in lipid nanoparticle GFP018, showed a slightly increased survival rate of 42.4%, while the GFP expression rate was maintained at 88.2%. Lipid nanoparticle GFP020, in which the ratio of pantothenic acid ionized lipid formula 3-1 was lowered by 10 mol% and 2,6-dipalmitoyl ascorbic acid was increased by 10 mol% in lipid nanoparticle GFP018, showed a significantly increased survival rate of 70.4%, while the GFP expression rate decreased to 52.2%.As a result, it was confirmed that the lipid composition ratio of lipid nanoparticle GFP019, which improves GFP expression efficiency to nearly 90% while slightly improving cell viability, was optimized for lipid nanoparticles containing 15 mol% of 2,6-dipalmitoyl ascorbic acid, a vitamin C lipid.
[0357] Lipid nanoparticles (GFP021 to GFP035) were prepared using novel pantothenic acid-based ionized lipids of Chemical Formulas 3-2 to 3-8 to efficiently deliver mRNA into NK cells, and their composition and structural physicobiochemical characteristics are shown in Table 1 above. Specifically, the composition values in the table represent mol% and include the diameter, PDI, and zeta potential of the prepared particles measured using dynamic light scattering.
[0358] Cell viability and GFP expression rates were confirmed upon intracellular introduction of lipid nanoparticles GFP021 to GFP035 containing pantothenic acid ionized lipid formulas 3-2 to 3-8, and the results are shown in Figures 5 to 7. Lipid nanoparticles GFP021 to GFP027, in which the pantothenic acid-based ionized lipid formula 3-1 of lipid nanoparticle GFP005 containing the oligo-gamma-glutamic acid derivative of formula 1-1 was replaced with pantothenic acid ionized lipid formulas 3-2 to 3-8, showed high cell viability of over 80%, except for GFP022, while GFP022 showed a relatively low cell viability of 52.5%. Lipid nanoparticles GFP021, 022, 024, and 025, in which the pantothenic acid-based ionized lipid formula 3-1 of lipid nanoparticle GFP005 was replaced with pantothenic acid-based ionized lipid formulas 3-2, 3-3, 3-5, and 3-6, showed higher GFP expression rates. Lipid nanoparticles GFP028 to GFP034, in which the pantothenic acid-based ionized lipid formula 3-1 of lipid nanoparticle GFP019 containing the vitamin C-based lipid 2,6-dipalmitoyl ascorbic acid was replaced with pantothenic acid ionized lipid formulas 3-2 to 3-8, showed increased cell viability of 60% to 80%, except for GFP029, which was significantly decreased. Lipid nanoparticles GFP030, 031, and 034, in which pantothenic acid-based ionized lipid formula 3-1 of lipid nanoparticle GFP019 was replaced with pantothenic acid-based ionized lipid formulas 3-4, 3-5, and 3-8, showed higher GFP expression rates.
[0359] As can be seen in Figure 7, there are a total of 5 types of lipid nanoparticles with a cell viability of 50% or more and a GFP expression rate of 70% or more, including lipid nanoparticles GFP022 and 024 which contain an oligo-gamma-glutamic acid derivative of formula 1-1 and pantothenic acid-based ionized lipids of formulas 3-3 and 3-5, and lipid nanoparticles GFP030, 031, and 034 which contain 2,6-dipalmitoyl ascorbic acid, a vitamin C-based lipid, and pantothenic acid-based ionized lipids of formulas 3-4, 3-5, and 3-8.
[0360] As a result, it was confirmed that lipid nanoparticles containing novel pantothenic acid-based ionized lipids with formulas 3-3, 3-4, 3-5, and 3-8, an oligo-gamma-glutamic acid derivative with formula 1-1, and a vitamin C-based lipid 2,6-dipalmitoyl ascorbic acid showed high delivery and translation efficiency of GFP mRNA within NK cells.
[0361]
[0362] The inventors intended to prepare lipid nanoparticles containing vitamin or gallic acid-based lipids as helper lipids and resveratrol as a cholesterol substitute to increase the activity of NK cells and introduce mRNA into the cells.
[0363] First, lipid nanoparticle GFP035 was prepared by increasing the amount of DMG-PEG2000 to 3 mol% to reduce particle size and facilitate entry into NK cells. It was confirmed that the particle size was reduced by approximately 20 nm compared to lipid nanoparticle GFP034, which had 1.5 mol% of the same DMG-PEG2000, and that it was prepared uniformly. Accordingly, lipid nanoparticles GFP036 to GFP040 were further prepared, containing pantothenic acid ionized lipids with chemical formulas 3-8 to 3-11, and containing vitamin C-based lipids or gallic acid-based lipids of chemical formulas 2-3 and 2-4 as helper lipids, and containing cholesterol and resveratrol as substitutes. Cell viability and GFP expression rates were confirmed upon introduction into cells, and the results are shown in Figure 8.
[0364] Looking at Figure 8, it was confirmed that lipid nanoparticles 036, 037, and 040, which used chemical formulas 3-9 to 3-11 as ionized lipids, vitamin C-based lipid 2,6-dipalmitoyl ascorbic acid as a helper lipid, and resveratrol as a cholesterol substitute, maintained a cell viability of over 60% and a GFP expression rate of over 60%. In particular, for lipid nanoparticle 040, which used chemical formula 3-11 as an ionized lipid, the intracellular GFP expression rate increased significantly to about 80% compared to lipid nanoparticles 036 and 037, which used chemical formulas 3-9 and 3-10 as ionized lipids, but the cell viability decreased by about 10%. In the case of lipid nanoparticles 038 and 039, which used chemical formulas 3-9 and 3-10 as ionized lipids and included resveratrol as a cholesterol substitute, and used gallic acid-based lipids chemical formulas 2-3 and 2-4 as helper lipids, the expression efficiency increased by about 10% while maintaining cell viability in the 70% range compared to lipid nanoparticles 036 and 037, which used vitamin C-based lipid 2,6-dipalmitoyl ascorbic acid as a helper lipid.

[0366] Example 6. Selection of Optimal Novel Lipid Nanoparticles via CAR-mRNA Expression
[0367] To select lipid nanoparticles capable of effectively expressing CAR mRNA in NK cells, lipid nanoparticles were prepared containing one or more or all of the pantothenic acid-based ionized lipids (Chemical Formulas 3-1, 3-3, 3-4, 3-5, and 3-8) selected in the first screening, the oligo-gamma-glutamic acid derivative (Chemical Formula 1-1), and the vitamin C-based lipid 2,6-dipalmitoyl ascorbic acid. The composition and structural physicobiochemical characteristics of the lipid nanoparticles (CAR 001 to 029) encapsulating CAR mRNA are shown in Table 2 above. Specifically, the composition values in the table represent mol% and include the diameter, PDI, and zeta potential of the prepared particles measured using dynamic light scattering.
[0368] NK cell viability and CAR protein expression rates were verified through the following experiments. First, primary peripheral blood natural killer (PBNK) cells (1 M cell / 500 μL) dispersed in MACS medium were inoculated into a 24-well cell culture plate. Then, lipid nanoparticles encapsulated with CAR mRNA were added to each well at a concentration of 3 μg / 50 μL (based on RNA) and thoroughly mixed. The sequence of the CAR mRNA was denoted as SEQ ID NO. 1. After culturing for 3 hours, serum equivalent to 5% of the medium volume was added, and the cells were cultured for another 3 hours. After washing the cells with phosphate-buffered physiological saline, they were stained primarily by treating them with an antigen-biotin protein recognized by CAR and a Live / Dead dye for staining dead cells. Subsequently, streptavidin-APC was applied to the cells to finally stain the CAR expressed on the surface of the PBNK cells. Through flow cytometry, the red fluorescence labeling CAR expressed on the cell surface and the far-infrared fluorescence intensity stained on dead cells were measured.
[0369] For pantothenic acid-based ionized lipids with formulas 3-1, 3-3, 3-4, 3-5, and 3-8, lipid nanoparticles CAR001 to CAR012 containing either or both the oligo-gamma-glutamic acid derivative formula 1-1 and the vitamin C-based lipid 2,6-dipalmitoyl ascorbic acid were prepared, and after transfection into NK cells, cell viability and CAR expression rates were confirmed, and the results are shown in Fig. 9. The composition and structural physicobiochemical characteristics of the lipid nanoparticles (CAR 001 to 012) are shown in Table 2 above.
[0370] In the case of lipid nanoparticles CAR001 and CAR003 containing pantothenic acid-based ionized lipids with formulas 3-1 and 3-5 and formula 1-1, cell viability was excellent, but CAR expression was almost non-existent. Additionally, in the case of lipid nanoparticle CAR006 containing formula 3-5 and 2,6-dipalmitoyl ascorbic acid, CAR expression rate was excellent, but a very low cell viability of less than 20% was observed. On the other hand, lipid nanoparticles CAR010 and CAR012 containing pantothenic acid-based ionized lipids with formulas 3-4 and 3-8, formula 1-1, and 2,6-dipalmitoyl ascorbic acid showed high cell viability of over 80% and exhibited high CAR expression efficiencies of 68.7% and 72.9%, respectively. Therefore, as can be confirmed in the diagram showing the correlation between cell viability and CAR expression efficiency for each lipid nanoparticle, the leading lipid nanoparticles suitable for CAR-NK cell production were identified as CAR010 and CAR012.
[0371] To further optimize lipid nanoparticles for CAR-NK cell production, novel panthenol-based ionized lipids, formulas 3-9 and 3-10, were introduced along with a novel pantothenic acid-based ionized lipid, formula 3-8, and lipid nanoparticles were prepared containing both 2,6-dipalmitoyl ascorbic acid and the oligo-gamma-glutamic acid derivative formulas 1-1 or 1-2. The composition and structural physicobiochemical characteristics of the lipid nanoparticles (CAR013 to 017) encapsulating CAR mRNA are shown in Table 2 above. Specifically, the composition values in the table represent mol% and include the diameter, PDI, and zeta potential of the prepared particles measured using dynamic light scattering.
[0372] Lipid nanoparticles CAR013 and CAR014 containing novel panthenol-based ionized lipids with formulas 3-9 and 3-10, 2,6-dipalmitoyl ascorbic acid, and an oligo-gamma-glutamic acid derivative with formula 1-1, and lipid nanoparticles CAR015 to CAR017 containing pantothenic acid and panthenol-based ionized lipids with formulas 3-8, 3-9, and 3-10, 2,6-dipalmitoyl ascorbic acid, and an oligo-gamma-glutamic acid derivative with formula 1-2 were prepared, and cell viability and CAR expression rates were confirmed after transfection of NK cells, and the results are shown in Fig. 10. Lipid nanoparticle CAR013, containing an oligo-gamma-glutamic acid derivative of chemical formula 1-1 and a panthenol-based ionized lipid of chemical formula 3-9, showed a very high cell viability of 91.1%, but the CAR expression efficiency dropped significantly to 3.41. Lipid nanoparticle CAR017, containing a panthenol-based ionized lipid of chemical formula 3-10, showed a slightly lower cell viability of 87.4%, but the CAR expression efficiency increased significantly compared to the lead lipid nanoparticle CAR012. CAR015 to CAR017, which contain novel ionized lipids 3-8, 3-9, and 3-10 based on pantothenic acid and panthenol and contain both 2,6-dipalmitoyl ascorbic acid and the oligo-gamma-glutamic acid derivative formula 1-2, showed improved CAR expression efficiency compared to CAR012 to CAR014 containing formula 1-1, while cell viability remained largely unaffected at over 80%.
[0373] As a result, by optimizing the structure of panthenol-based ionized lipids and oligo-gamma-glutamic acid derivatives, CAR015 and CAR017, which exhibit a high cell viability of over 80% and a CAR expression efficiency of over 50%, were additionally selected as lipid nanoparticles suitable for CAR-NK cell production.
[0374] To determine whether lipid nanoparticles must contain both the oligo-gammaglutamic acid derivative of Formula 1-2 and the vitamin C-based lipid 2,6-dipalmitoyl ascorbic acid to be suitable for CAR-NK cell production, lipid nanoparticles containing pantothenic acid and panthenol-based ionized lipids Formulas 3-8, 3-9, and 3-10, and containing either the oligo-gammaglutamic acid derivative of Formula 1-2 or the vitamin C-based lipid 2,6-dipalmitoyl ascorbic acid, either individually or together, were prepared at an optimized component ratio. In addition, CAR-Con lipid nanoparticles with a conventionally used composition were prepared using SM-102, a commercially available ionized lipid. The composition and structural physicobiochemical characteristics of the lipid nanoparticles (CAR 018 to 029) encapsulating CAR mRNA are shown in Table 2 above. Specifically, the composition values in the table represent mole% and include the diameter, PDI, and zeta potential of the manufactured particles measured using dynamic light scattering.
[0375] Lipid nanoparticles CAR018 to CAR020 comprising pantothenic acid and panthenol-based ionized lipids Formulas 3-8, 3-9, and 3-10, excluding the oligo-gamma-glutamic acid derivative of Formula 1-2 and the vitamin C-based lipid 2,6-dipalmitoyl ascorbic acid; lipid nanoparticles CAR021 to CAR023 comprising pantothenic acid and panthenol-based ionized lipids 3-8, 3-9, and 3-10, comprising only the vitamin C-based lipid 2,6-dipalmitoyl ascorbic acid; lipid nanoparticles CAR024 to CAR026 comprising pantothenic acid and panthenol-based ionized lipids 3-8, 3-9, and 3-10, comprising only the oligo-gamma-glutamic acid derivative of Formula 1-2; and pantothenic acid and panthenol-based ionized lipids 3-8, 3-9, and 3-10 Lipid nanoparticles CAR027 to CAR029, which contain both the oligo-gammaglutamic acid derivative of Chemical Formula 1-2 and the vitamin C-based lipid 2,6-dipalmitoyl ascorbic acid, and the commercially available ionized lipid SM-102 were used to prepare lipid nanoparticles CAR-Con of a conventionally used composition. Lipid nanoparticles not containing the oligo-gammaglutamic acid derivative and the vitamin C-based lipid were prepared by replacing them with PEGylated lipids and DSPC helper lipids in the same component ratio. After transfecting NK cells with the prepared lipid nanoparticles, cell viability and CAR expression rates were confirmed, and the results are shown in Figure 11.
[0376] NK cell viability and CAR protein expression rates were verified through the following experiments. First, primary peripheral blood natural killer (PBNK) cells (1 M cell / 500 μL) dispersed in MACS medium were inoculated into a 24-well cell culture plate. Then, lipid nanoparticles encapsulated with CAR mRNA were added to each well at a concentration of 1 μg / 50 μL (based on RNA) and thoroughly mixed. The sequence of the CAR mRNA was denoted as SEQ ID NO. 1. After culturing for 3 hours, serum equivalent to 5% of the medium volume was added, and the cells were cultured for another 3 hours. After washing the cells with phosphate-buffered physiological saline, they were stained primarily by treating them with an antigen-biotin protein recognized by CAR and a Live / Dead dye for staining dead cells. Subsequently, streptavidin-APC was applied to the cells to finally stain the CAR expressed on the surface of the PBNK cells. Through flow cytometry, the red fluorescence labeling CAR expressed on the cell surface and the far-infrared fluorescence intensity stained on dead cells were measured.
[0377] While all lipid nanoparticles exhibited a cell viability of over 80%, CAR024 to CAR029, containing oligo-gammaglutamic acid derivatives, showed an excellent cell viability of over 93%. In contrast, lipid nanoparticles CAR018 to CAR020, which did not contain either oligo-gammaglutamic acid derivatives or the vitamin C-based lipid 2,6-dipalmitoyl ascorbic acid, and lipid nanoparticles CAR021 to CAR023, which contained only the vitamin C-based lipid 2,6-dipalmitoyl ascorbic acid, showed relatively low cell viability. Lipid nanoparticles CAR021 and CAR022, and CAR027 to CAR029, which contained the vitamin C-based lipid 2,6-dipalmitoyl ascorbic acid in pantothenic acid and panthenol-based ionized lipids with chemical formulas 3-8, 3-9, and 3-10, showed a CAR expression efficiency of over 50%. In particular, lipid nanoparticles CAR027 to CAR029, which contain novel ionized lipids 3-8, 3-9, and 3-10 based on pantothenic acid and panthenol, as well as an oligo-gamma-glutamic acid derivative of chemical formula 1-2 and a vitamin C-based lipid 2,6-dipalmitoyl ascorbic acid, showed an excellent cell viability of over 93% while exhibiting a CAR expression efficiency of over 50%.
[0378] In other words, it was confirmed that an ensemble of three types of lipids—pantothenic acid and panthenol-based ionized lipids (chemical formulas 3-8, 3-9, and 3-10) and vitamin C-based lipids (2,6-dipalmitoyl ascorbic acid) and oligo-gamma-glutamic acid derivatives (chemical formula 1-2)—is very important for the production of CAR-NK cells. Furthermore, as confirmed by the correlation between cell viability and expression efficiency, CAR027 and CAR029, which exhibited the most excellent cell viability and CAR expression efficiency, were additionally selected as lipid nanoparticles for CAR-NK production.
[0379] The additionally selected lipid nanoparticle CAR029 has the same composition as the previously selected lipid nanoparticle CAR017, but the component ratios have changed. The molar ratios of lipids based on oligo-gamma-glutamic acid derivatives, vitamin C-based helper lipids, ionized lipids, and cholesterol, excluding nucleic acids, were 1.5%, 15%, 45%, and 38.5% for CAR017, and 3.0%, 14.8%, 37.9%, and 44.3% for CAR029. Cell viability and CAR expression efficiency were confirmed using a flow cytometer after treatment for NK cell transformation, and the results are shown in Figure 12. Although CAR expression efficiency increases with a higher amount of treated CAR mRNA, it was confirmed that CAR029 showed a CAR expression efficiency improvement of more than 10% compared to CAR017, and cell viability was high at approximately 95%.
[0380] Additionally, by treating human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with the lipid nanoparticles CAR027 and CAR029 for CAR-NK synthesis, it was confirmed that CAR expression is possible in CD3-labeled T cells, and the results are shown in Fig. 13. CAR027 and CAR029 [represented] 86.4% of the CD3-labeled T cells in the PBMCs used in the experiment + It was confirmed that these lipid nanoparticles can be transfected into T cells as well as NK cells by expressing CAR proteins in T cells at 63.2% and 82.1%, respectively.
[0381] In addition, lipid nanoparticles CAR030 to CAR034 were prepared using resveratrol as a cholesterol substitute, which is a natural product capable of activating NK cells. Furthermore, based on the observation that transfection within NK cells improved when the ratio of oligo-gamma-glutamic acid was increased from 1.5 mol% (CAR017) to 3 mol% (CAR029), lipid nanoparticles were prepared with the molar ratio of oligo-gamma-glutamic acid 1-2 to 1-3 increased to 10%. After transfecting the prepared lipid nanoparticles into NK cells, cell viability and CAR expression rates were confirmed, and the results are shown in Fig. 14.
[0382] Looking at Figure 14, when compounds of chemical formulas 3-8 to 3-14 were used as ionized lipids, and vitamin C-based lipids 2,6-dipalmitoyl ascorbic acid and resveratrol were used, the survival rate of NK cells decreased slightly to around 80%, and it was confirmed that lipid nanoparticles CAR 030 and CAR 033, in which the ionized lipids were chemical formulas 3-8 and 3-13, showed a CAR expression efficiency of more than 60%. In addition, when compounds of formulas 3-10 to 3-14 were used as ionized lipids, and vitamin C-based lipid 2,6-dipalmitoyl ascorbic acid and oligo-gammaglutamic acid of formulas 1-2 to 1-3 were used, cell viability of over 90% was maintained, and in particular, lipid nanoparticles CAR035 and CAR036 using formula 3-10 as ionized lipids and oligo-gammaglutamic acid of formulas 1-2 and 1-3, and CAR039 and CAR040 using formulas 3-13 and 3-14 as ionized lipids and oligo-gammaglutamic acid of formula 1-2, showed excellent CAR expression rates of over 95%. In particular, it was confirmed that as the ratio of oligo-gamma-glutamic acid increased to 1.5 mol% (CAR017), 3 mol% (CAR029), and 10 mol% (CAR036), the CAR expression rate increased sequentially without affecting cell viability.
[0383] As a result, a total of 10 lipid nanoparticles suitable for CAR-NK cell production were selected as optimal lipid nanoparticles for CAR-NK production, including lipid nanoparticles CAR010 and CAR012 containing vitamin C-based lipid 2,6-dipalmitoyl ascorbic acid and oligo-gamma-glutamic acid derivative formula 1-1 and pantothenic acid-based ionized lipid formulas 3-4 and 3-8, lipid nanoparticles CAR015 and CAR017 containing vitamin C-based lipid 2,6-dipalmitoyl ascorbic acid and oligo-gamma-glutamic acid derivative formulas 1-2 to 1-3 and pantothenic acid and panthenol-based ionized lipid formulas 3-8, 3-10, 3-13, and 3-14, and CAR027, CAR029, CAR035, CAR036, CAR039, and CAR040 with optimized component ratios.
