Abstract
Description
Antisense oligonucleotides targeting interleukin-4 receptor and their applications Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of biomedicine, specifically to antisense oligonucleotides targeting interleukin-4 receptors and their applications. Background Technology
[0002] Asthma, especially severe asthma, is extremely expensive to treat, both domestically and internationally, resulting in a significant drain on public health resources during diagnosis and treatment. While severe asthma affects approximately 3.6% of the population, representing only a small fraction of the total population, the medical costs are substantial and treatment outcomes are often unsatisfactory. Therefore, the treatment of severe asthma remains a crucial area of clinical need in asthma treatment. In recent years, the development of various biologics, particularly antibodies targeting the interleukin pathway in inflammatory responses, has provided highly effective treatments for severe asthma. However, monoclonal antibodies are not only ineffective in treating severe asthma but also require long-term and repeated administration. Furthermore, there is an urgent need to develop drugs and treatment regimens suitable for non-T2 type severe asthma, while also emphasizing the role of small airways in asthma treatment. In conclusion, the future of asthma treatment urgently requires the development of drugs and drug forms targeting novel targets to meet the vast unmet clinical and market needs.
[0003] IL-4 is a pleiotropic immune cytokine involved in the survival and development of various immune cells, regulating B cell development and maturation, and influencing the proliferation and differentiation of type II helper T cells. Inhibition of the IL-4 / IL-13 / IL-4R pathway can affect various immune cells, thereby suppressing immune responses such as allergic asthma. IL-4 and IL-13 are key cytokines in Th2 immune responses, mainly produced by activated type II helper T cells, basophils, and mast cells. The IL-4 / IL-13 / IL-4R pathway is downstream of the TSLP pathway in the Th2 asthma inflammatory response. IL-4 and IL-4Rα (interleukin 4 receptor)... The alpha chain interacts with the γ co-(γc) chain to form a type 1 receptor. IL-4Rα interacts with IL-13Rα1 to form a type 2 receptor complex. The IL-4Rα chain emits signals through the JAK1 / STAT6 pathway. JAK3 is associated with the γc chain, and IL-13Rα1 is associated with JAK2. Type 1 and type 2 receptors share a common receptor subunit, IL-4Rα. Therefore, this application selects to target the degradation of IL-4Rα, thereby inhibiting the signaling pathways initiated by the two receptors to achieve the treatment of asthma.
[0004] mRNA-based gene-targeted therapy is one of the methods of specific targeted therapy, and it is currently under intense research and development. It works by endogenously splicing and inhibiting the expression of disease-causing genes in patients, and has made good progress. Existing gene therapy products are mainly for rare disease indications, but are gradually expanding to common indications, indicating that gene therapy can be a potential treatment for cancer. Currently, antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) that specifically degrade target mRNA and thereby reduce the expression of regulatory proteins are among the competitive technologies for targeted gene therapy, and have enormous development potential.
[0005] To date, there are in-process pipelines for targeting IL-4Rα, including inhaled formulations and transdermal delivery systems.

[0093] Example 1: Testing the activity of antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) in an in vitro cell model (A549 human non-small cell lung cancer).
[0094] In this embodiment, the inhibitory effect of the ASO molecules shown in Table 1 on the expression of the A549 interleukin-4 receptor protein gene (IL-4Rα) was verified. The specific experimental procedure is as follows:
[0095] (1) Preparation of suspension transfection reagent: Dissolve ASO dry powder in sterile water to a concentration of 10 μM. Dilute 10 μM ASO stock solution to the required concentration using serum-reduced medium (basalmedia, L530KJ). Dilute Lipofectamine 2000 transfection reagent (Invitrogen, 11668-019) with serum-reduced medium. Mix the transfection reagent dilution and ASO dilution separately to prepare the preset concentrations. Prepare ASO transfection complexes with corresponding concentration gradients. Mix by pipetting and aspirating 3-5 times and let stand at room temperature for 20 min.
[0096] (2) Cell treatment: Under a microscope, the confluence rate of A549 cells was observed to be >70%. Cells were plated one day before transfection at a concentration of 5 × 10⁶ cells / year. 3 Cells were seeded into 96-well plates, and 100 μl of F12K medium containing 10% FBS was added to each well. Before transfection, the medium was replaced with 50 μl of F12K medium containing 10% FBS. The transfection complex with the set ASO concentration prepared in step (1) was added to the 96-well plates and incubated at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator. After 5 h, the medium was replaced with 100 μl of F12K medium containing 10% FBS.
[0097] (3) After 24 hours, total RNA was extracted from the cells, and the expression of IL-4Rα mRNA in the cells was detected by quantitative real-time PCR. The qPCR primers used to amplify the internal reference genes ACTB and IL-4Rα are shown in Table 2.

[0103] Blank, the blank control group, consists of cells that have not undergone any ASO treatment.
