[0001] This application contains a Sequence Listing in computer readable form, which is incorporated herein by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The present invention is in the field of allergies and relates to means and methods relating to treatment allergies, particularly to treatment of house dust mite (HDM) allergies. The present invention further relates to endo-lysosomal-targeted nucleic acid constructs encoding HDM allergens (e.g., at least three allergens) and endo-lysosomal-targeting polypeptides as well as methods and uses thereof, particularly in allergen immunotherapy (AIT)-methods relating to HDM allergies.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] The available desensitization means and preparations are typically made from the feces and / or bodies of house dust mites and are insufficently effective. The cause of the low efficacy is difficult to pinpoint due to the heterogeneity of the HDM natural extract alone; a possible reason is that the crucial allergens are present in insufficient quantities or contain substances that interfere with the success of the therapy. Another problem with available desensitizations is the risk of anaphylaxis (i.e. , shock reaction to the allergen) following the administration of the therapy allergen, which is why the dose of allergens in allergen immunotherapy (AIT) preparations is recommended to be kept low, or complex and time-consuming dose increases are to be performed. Another known problem issue is that the initial administration of the allergen typically leads to an increase in allergen-specific IgE.
[0004] Therefore, there is an ongoing need to improve AIT preparations, especially by providing novel and improved constructs and compositions. The technical problem therefore is to comply with this need.
[0005] EP 2200646 A1 discloses RNA vaccines encoding allergens from selected organisms. WO 2004 / 019978 A1 and EP 3795688 A1 disclose recombinant allergens and nucleic acids, in particular DNA, encoding the same.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0006] The technical problem is solved by the subject-matter as defined in the claims. While some house dust mite allergens are known and there are major allergens to which most patients react as well as mid-tier and minor allergens to which only some patients respond, the inventive concept of the pending invention inter alia lies in demonstrating that only the three major allergens / constructs according to the pending invention are sufficient to suppress the reaction to the mite extract-induced allergy. In other words, the three mite allergens / constructs of the pending invention are sufficient to also suppress all other mite allergens contained in the extract or to induce tolerance thereto. Since there are no established models for the mechanism of tolerance induction the pending invention also relates to in vitro and in vivo models for the mechanism of tolerance induction.

[0082] The invention will be better understood with reference to the detailed description when considered in conjunction with the non-limiting examples and the accompanying drawings, respectively. The Figures show:
[0083] Figure 1 shows a schematic representation and protein sequence of the allergen-LAMP-1 fusion constructs encoded by the exemplary mRNAs of the present invention. Figure 1A: Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus constructs comprising murine LAMP-1 sequence and applied in the presented experiments. The allergen-coding sequences are shown in blue. The signal sequence, as well as the transmembrane domain and the cytosolic domain of LAMP-1 , are shown in red. The connecting Gly-Ser peptide (SEQ ID NO: 673) linker is displayed in gray. Figure 1B: Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and Dermatophagoides farinae constructs comprising human LAMP-1 sequence and designed to have optimal isoform coverage. Black: allergens; Red: LAMP-1 (the N-terminal part encodes the signal peptide of LAMP-1 and is used to transport the protein into the endosome; the C-terminal part encodes the transmembrane and cytosolic domain of LAMP-1 and is used for transport to the endosome and anchoring in the membrane of the endosome, where colocalization to MHCII takes place); Blue: Propeptide (only illustrated for Der p 1 and Der f 1; can be used for the correct folding of the protein); Grey: Linker.
[0084] Figure 2 shows a schematic representation of the experimental model used for allergenspecific immunotherapy (AIT) of house dust mite allergy. Pipettes and syringes indicate the times of sensitization and provocation or AIT injections, respectively. AIT, allergen-specificimmunotherapy; Der p, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus; HDM, house dust mite; i.n, intranasal; LNP, lipid nanoparticles; PBS, phosphate-buffered saline; s.c., subcutaneous.
[0085] Figure 3 shows the quantification of the absolute cell counts and numbers of eosinophils, alveolar macrophages, CD4+ lymphocytes, CD8+ lymphocytes and natural killer cells (NK cells) in the bronchoalveolar lavage at the end of the experiment (day 34). The respective cell populations show a significant increase after sensitization and subsequent allergen challenge of the animals without therapy (HDM-allergic) compared to the control group (non-allergic), reflecting a high cell infiltration induced by the allergic inflammation. The applied mRNAAIT of the present invention can significantly reduce the effect of this allergic inflammation by reducing cell infiltration (lower total cell count and reduced cell count of specific effector cells). This contrasts with classic extract AIT, which only leads to a slight reduction in the total cell count and eosinophils. Statistical analyses were performed using the Mann-Whitney test, p-values of < .05, < .01, < .001, < .0001 are shown as *, **, ***, ****. AIT, allergen-specific immunotherapy; BALF, bronchoalveolar lavage; HDM, house dust mite.
[0086] Figure 4 shows the quantification of GATA3+CD4+ T cells (Th2 cells) as a percentage of total CD4+ T cells in lung tissue at the end of the experiment (day 34). Th2 cell-driven allergic inflammation is a central molecular component underlying type 1 allergy (e.g. house dust mite allergy). An increase in this specific T cell population can be seen after allergic sensitization and subsequent provocation. mRNAAIT of the present invention leads to a significant reduction of this disease-associated cell population to a level similar to that observed in the control group (non-allergic). In contrast, extract AIT seems to have no effect. Statistical analyses were performed using the Mann-Whitney test, p-values of < .05, < .01, < .001, < .0001 are shown as *, **, ***, ****. AIT, allergen-specific immunotherapy; HDM, house dust mite.
[0087] Figure 5 shows the level of total (concentration) and house dust mite-specific (OD) IgE antibodies in serum at the end of the experiment (day 34). IgE is considered to be another central molecular component in direct type 1 hyperreactivity reactions. Allergen provocation after previous sensitization leads to a significant increase in allergen-specific IgE in addition to an increase in total IgE in serum. This increase in IgE titer associated with HDM allergy can be significantly reduced by mRNA therapy to the same extent as classical extract AIT. Statistical analyses were performed using the Mann-Whitney test, p-values of < .05, < .01, < .001, < .0001 are shown as *, **, ***, ****. AIT, allergen-specific immunotherapy; Der p, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus; HDM, house dust mite; OD, optical density.
[0088] Figure 6 shows the level of house dust mite-specific I gG 1 antibodies as well as total I gG1 , lgG2c, lgG2b and lgG3 antibodies in serum at the end of the experiment (day 34). Part of a successful AIT therapy is considered to be the shift from an IgE dominated to a more IgG mediated humoral response. We can observe this type of shift in the course of mRNAAIT. This leads to a significant increase in the p-specific I gG 1 as well as the total I gG 1 and lgG2c titres. This significantincrease is also observed in the course of classic AIT (extract AIT), but to a lesser extent. In addition, only the mRNAAIT leads to a significant reduction in the total lgG3 titer compared to the allergic group (HDM-allergic). Statistical analyses were performed using the Mann-Whitney test, p-values of < .05, < .01, < .001, < .0001 are shown as *, **, ***, ****. AIT, allergen-specific immunotherapy; Der p, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus; HDM, house dust mite; OD, optical density.
[0089] Figure 7 shows an amino acid sequence of mature Der p 1 (light blue) and overlapping epitopes of Der p1 specific t cell lines (red bars).
[0090] Figure 8 shows an amino acid sequence of mature Der p 2 (light blue) and overlapping epitopes of Der p 2 specific t cell lines (red bars).
[0091] Figure 9 shows transfection efficiency of HDM mRNA-LNPs in ex-vivo isolated PBMCs from allergic and non-allergic subjects. Expression of Der p / f group 2 via flow cytometry analysis: 106PBMCs per well were treated with 1.0 pg / mL mRNA of trivalent Der p / f 1 / 2 / 23 mRNA-LNPs (LNPA, LNP B) for 24 h. Live / dead staining was conducted with amin-reactive reagent Live / Dead Green (Invitrogen). (A) Transfection efficiency was exemplarily quantified as the frequency of Der p / f 2-positive cells within the HLA-DR+ PBMC population, demonstrating higher efficiencies in APCs compared to the PBS control. (B) Transfection efficiencies in antigen-presenting cell (APC) subsets: Co-staining for HLA-DR with CD14 and CD11c, CD209 as one predominant antigen-presenting cell population exhibiting elevated Der p / f group 2 transfection efficiencies. n=6 independent HDM allergic donors and n=4 non-allergic donors. CD, cluster of differentiation; Der f, Dermatophagoides farinae., Der p, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus’, HDM, house dust mite; LNP, lipid nanoparticle; mRNA, messenger ribonucleic acid.
[0092] Figure 10 shows lnterleukin-5 and Interleukin-13 levels in supernatants of HDM mRNA-LNP treated ex-vivo isolated PBMCs from allergic subjects. Figure 2 shows the level of IL-5 (A, B) and IL-13 (C, D) in supernatants of LNP treated PBMC isolated from allergic (A, C) and non-allergic (B,D) donors measured via Biolegend Legendplex. Notably, supernatants from HDM-allergics showed induction of TH2 cytokines IL-5 and IL-13 indicating an allergen-specific recall response driven by pre-existing memory TH2 cells recognizing the expressed peptide antigen, whereas non-allergic subjects showed negligible or minor cytokine levels. For each donor, two supernatants were measured in independent experiments. HDM, house dust mite; IL, interleukin; LNP, lipid nanoparticle; TH, T helper cell.
[0093] Figure 11 shows the employed experimental model of house dust mite (HDM) induced allergic airway inflammation and allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT). Female C57BL / 6J mice, 6-8 weeks old, were sensitized with a mixture of Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Der p) & Dermatophagoides farinae (Der f) HDM extract (Greer Laboratories Inc.; Der p, Cat#: XPB91D3A2.5, Lot#: 446803; Der f, Cat#:XPB81D3A2.5, Lot#: 435703) by 3 intranasal (i.n.) instillations on 3 consecutive days of 20 pl extract (reconstituted in 0,9% sterile NaCI and dilutedin sterile PBS), 10 pl per nostril, containing a total protein content of 2 pg, 1 pg / species. Non-allergic mice received PBS. On days 7, 12 and 19 mice received further i.n. maintenance challenges as described for the sensitization. On days 14, 17 and 21 mice were treated subcutaneously (s.c.) with 200 pL of either sterile 0,9% NaCI (non-allergic, HDM-allergic) or different LNP preparations (Lipid A - D, variation of the ionizable lipid) with 5 pg mRNA / allergen. Each LNP preparation contained a 50 / 50 mixture of trivalent mRNA-LNPs A & B. Finally, on days 29-32, all mice received i.n. challenges with HDM extract with a total protein content of 10 pg total protein, 5 pg / species. Mice were sacrificed on day 35 for further analysis. AIT, allergen-specific immunotherapy; Der f, Dermatophagoides farinae., Der p, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus', HDM, house dust mite; i.n., intranasal; LNP, lipid nanoparticle; mRNA, messenger ribonucleic acid; NaCI, sodium chloride; PBS, phosphate-buffered saline s.c., subcutaneous.
[0094] Figure 12 shows in (A) the quantification of total leukocyte (live CD45+cells) count and the differential cell count of eosinophils (CD11b+CD11c'orlowSiglec-F+Ly6G') in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Cell counts significantly increase after allergic sensitization (HDM-allergic) if compared to non-sensitized mice (non-allergic) reflecting a strong immune cell infiltration after the induction of allergic airway inflammation. mRNA-based allergenimmunotherapy (s.c.) with differently formulated LNPs (Lipid A - D, each formulated with a different ionizable lipid) is able to reduce the observed cell infiltration. In (B) the frequency of TH1 (IFN-Y+FOXP3') and TH2 (GATA3+FOXP3‘) within the T-helper cell population (CD45+CD3+CD4+) is shown. TH2 are slightly elevated after allergic sensitization and represent a major component of type I allergic diseases (e.g. HDM-allergy) and are associated with a type 2 immune response, while mRNA-LNP-based AIT seems to dampen these effects. On the other hand TH1 cells are reduced after sensitization and are significantly increased through mRNA-LNP-based AIT. TH1 cells are associated with a type 1 immune response which is generally discussed as counteracting TH2 biased allergic reactions. Statistical analysis was performed on log-transformed data using either Dunnett’s or Dunnett’s T3 test for multiple comparisons between the HDM-allergic group and the individual LNP groups. Non-allergic and HDM-allergic were compared by Welch’s t-test. P-values of < .05, < .01, < .001, < .0001 are displayed as *, **, ***, ****, respectively. AIT, allergenspecific immunotherapy; CD, cluster of differentiation; FoxP3, forkhead box P3; GATA3, GATA binding protein 3; HDM, house dust mite; IFN-y, interferon y; LNP, lipid nanoparticle; mRNA, messenger ribonucleic acid; s.c., subcutaneous; Siglec-F, Sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like F; TH, T helper cell.
[0095] Figure 13 shows the titers of different immunoglobulin classes (total) in the serum. Total IgE levels rise through allergic sensitization and stay elevated throughout the course of the mRNA-LNP-based AIT. IgE is another central molecular component of type I hypersensitivity reactions. mRNA-LNP-based AIT leads to significant increases in serum titers of total lgG1, lgG2c, and lgG2b. The shift from an IgE dominated to a IgG mediated humoral response is seen as a major hallmark of a successful AIT. Especially high titers of lgG2c are induced in therapeuticgroups. Data is displayed on logarithmic scale. Statistical analysis was performed on log-transformed data using Dunnett’s T3 test for multiple comparisons between the HDM-allergic group and the individual LNP groups. Non-allergic and HDM-allergic were compared by Welch’s t-test. P-values of < .05, < .01, < .001, < .0001 are displayed as *, **, ***, ****, respectively. AIT, allergen-specific immunotherapy; HDM, house dust mite; Ig, immunoglobulin; LNP, lipid nanoparticle; mRNA, messenger ribonucleic acid.
[0096] Figure 14 shows in (A) the level of allergen-specific lgG1 in the serum, measured as ODA45O values. Measured were lgG1 levels against the group 1 and group 2 HDM allergens of Der p and Derf, as well as Der p 23. Notably, HDM-allergic mice show no induction of allergen-specific lgG1, whereas mRNA-LNP-based AIT leads to significant increases of these levels. In (B) Similarly, a significant induction of allergen-specific lgG2c was observed after mRNA-based AIT against the group 1 and group 2 HDM allergens of Der p and Der f, as well as Der p 23. Taken together this data shows the potency of the mRNA-based AIT to induce potentially protective IgGs. Statistical analysis was performed using Dunnett’s T3 test for multiple comparisons between the HDM-allergic group and the individual LNP groups. P-values of < .05, < .01, < .001, < .0001 are displayed as *, **, ***, ****, respectively. AIT, allergen-specific immunotherapy; Der p / f, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus / farinae', HDM, house dust mite; Ig, immunoglobulin; LNP, lipid nanoparticle; mRNA, messenger ribonucleic acid; ODA4SO, optical density at 450 nm light wavelength.DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0097] The present invention is described in detail in the following and is also illustrated by the appended examples and figures.
[0098] As described herein references are made to UniProtKB Accession Numbers (http: / / www.uniprot.org / , e.g., as available in UniProt release 2024_02 published on March 27, 2024).
[0099] As described herein references are made to GeneBank Accession Numbers as available in NCBI-GenBank Release 261.0, published on June 15, 2024.
[0100] Definitions:
[0101] The term “polypeptide" is equally used herein with the term "protein". Proteins (including fragments thereof, preferably biologically active fragments, and peptides, usually having less than 30 amino acids) comprise one or more amino acids coupled to each other via a covalent peptide bond (resulting in a chain of amino acids). The term "polypeptide" as used herein describes a group of molecules, which, for example, consist of more than 30 amino acids. Polypeptides may further form multimers such as dimers, trimers and higher oligomers, i.e. consisting of more than one polypeptide molecule. Polypeptide molecules forming such dimers,trimers etc. may be identical or non-identical. The corresponding higher order structures of such multimers are, consequently, termed homo- or heterodimers, homo- or heterotrimers etc. An example for a heteromultimer is an antibody molecule, which, in its naturally occurring form, consists of two identical light polypeptide chains and two identical heavy polypeptide chains. The terms "polypeptide" and "protein" also refer to naturally modified polypeptides / proteins wherein the modification is effected e.g. by post-translational modifications like glycosylation, acetylation, phosphorylation and the like. Such modifications are well known in the art.
[0102] Sequence identity: The relatedness between two amino acid sequences or between two nucleotide sequences is described by the parameter “sequence identity”. For purposes of the present invention, the sequence identity between two amino acid sequences is determined using the Needleman-Wunsch algorithm (Needleman and Wunsch, 1970, J. Mol. Biol.48: 443-453) as implemented in the Needle program of the EMBOSS package (EMBOSS: The European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite, Rice et al., 2000, Trends Genet. 16: 276-277), preferably version 5.0.0 or later. The parameters used may be gap open penalty of 10, gap extension penalty of 0.5, and the EBLOSUM62 (EMBOSS version of BLOSUM62) substitution matrix. The output of Needle labeled “longest identity” (obtained using the no-brief option) is used as the percent identity and is calculated as follows:
[0103] (Identical Residues* 100) / (Length of Alignment-Total Number of Gaps in Alignment).
[0104] Alternatively, the parameters used may be gap open penalty of 10, gap extension penalty of 0.5, and the EDNAFULL (EMBOSS version of NCBI NLIC4.4) substitution matrix. The output of Needle labeled “longest identity” (obtained using the no-brief option) is used as the percent identity and is calculated as follows:
[0105] (Identical Deoxyribonucleotides*100) / (Length of Alignment-Total Number of Gaps in Alignment).
[0106] Expression: The term "expression" includes any step involved in the production of a variant (polypeptide) including, but not limited to, transcription, post-transcriptional modification, translation, post-translational modification, and secretion.
[0107] Expression vector: The term "expression vector" may refer to a linear or circular DNA molecule that comprises a nucleic acid construct of the present invention and is operably linked to control sequences that provide for its expression.
[0108] Host cell: The term "host cell" may refer to any cell type that is susceptible to transformation, transfection, transduction, or the like with a nucleic acid construct or expression vector of the present invention. The term "host cell" encompasses any progeny of a parent cell that is not identical to the parent cell due to mutations that occur during replication.
[0109] Nucleic acid construct: The term "nucleic acid construct" may refer to a nucleic acid molecule, either single- or double-stranded, which is isolated from a naturally occurring gene or is modified to contain segments of nucleic acids in a manner that would not otherwise exist in nature or which is synthetic, which may comprise one or more control sequences. Preferably, a nucleic acid construct as used herein (e.g., a RNA or DNA construct) may refer to a synthetic sequence of nucleic acid engineered to achieve a specific biological function when introduced into a cell.
[0110] Operably linked: The term "operably linked" may refer to a configuration in which a control sequence is placed at an appropriate position relative to the coding sequence of a polynucleotide such that the control sequence directs expression of the coding sequence.
[0111] Control sequences: The term "control sequences" as used herein may refer to nucleic acid sequences necessary for expression of a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide of the present invention. Each control sequence may be native (i.e. , from the same gene) or foreign (i.e., from a different gene) to the polynucleotide encoding the variant or native or foreign to each other. Such control sequences include, but are not limited to, a leader, polyadenylation sequence, propeptide sequence, promoter, signal peptide sequence, and transcription terminator. At a minimum, the control sequences include a promoter, and transcriptional and translational stop signals. The control sequences may be provided with linkers for the purpose of introducing specific restriction sites facilitating ligation of the control sequences with the coding region of the polynucleotide of the present invention.
[0112] As used herein, the terms “nucleic acids” or “nucleotide sequences” may refer to DNA molecules (e.g. cDNA or genomic DNA), RNA (e.g., mRNA), combinations thereof or hybrid molecules comprised of DNA and RNA. The nucleic acids can be double- or single-stranded and may contain double- and single-stranded fragments at the same time.
[0113] The term "nucleic acid sequence encoding" as used herein may refer to a segment of DNA or RNA composed of nucleotides that specify the amino acid sequence of a protein or polypeptide through the process of transcription and translation.
[0114] The term "sequences are in-frame" as used herein may refer to the alignment of a nucleotide sequence in a way that it is correctly divided into consecutive, non-overlapping triplets (codons), which are read during the translation process to produce polypeptides. For proteincoding sequences, being "in-frame" ensures that translation proceeds from the correct starting codon and continues through to a proper stop codon without encountering frame shifts that would alter the intended amino acid sequence of the protein.
[0115] The term “signal polypeptide” as used herein also known as a “signal peptide” or “signal sequence” may refer a short amino acid sequence (e.g., usually 16-30 amino acids long) found at the N-terminus of newly synthesized / translated proteins that are destined for the secretory pathway. These peptides are used to direct the protein to specific locations in the cell,such as the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), from where they can be secreted out of the cell or directed to other specific cellular compartments.
[0116] The term “polypeptide fragment” as used herein may refer to a subsection of a polypeptide chain that consists of a sequence of amino acids shorter than the full-length protein or polypeptide. Preferably, the polypeptide fragment is at least 16 amino acids long, more preferably at least 20 amino acids long, even more preferably at least 24 amino acids long.
[0117] A signal polypeptide may be considered to be “derived from” a polypeptide fragment when having a sequence identity of at least 75% with respect to the polypeptide fragment, while preserving the capability of directing the protein to the specific location in the cell as the polypeptide fragment. So, for example, a signal polypeptide encoded by any one of the nucleic acid constructs of the present invention or included in any one of the polypeptides for AIT of the present invention may be a peptide having at least 75% sequence identity with the first 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, or 40 amino acid residues (e.g., counting from the N-terminus) of murine LAMP-1. Alternatively or in addition, the signal polypeptide may be a peptide having at least 75% sequence identity with the first 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, or 40 amino acid residues (counting from the N-terminus) of human LAMP-1. For example, the signal polypeptide may be a peptide having at least 75% sequence identity to the amino acid residues 1-29 of human LAMP-1, that is, have at least 75% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:1 and / or a peptide having at least 75 % sequence identity to the amino acid residues 1-24 of murine LAMP-1, that is, have at least 75% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 2.
[0118] The term “house dust mite” as used herein may refer to several species of arthropods belonging to the family Pyroglyphidae that commonly inhabit household dust. House dust mites are a significant source of allergens, which are primarily found in their fecal pellets and body fragments. These allergens can trigger allergic reactions, asthma, and other respiratory issues. The most commonly encountered species in homes include Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, Dermatophagoides farina and Dermatophagoides microceras.
[0119] The term “allergens” as used herein may refer to substances that can trigger an allergic reaction in certain individuals.
[0120] The term “HLA” as used herein may refer to Human Leukocyte Antigen, a complex of genes located on chromosome 6 that play a crucial role in the immune system's function. HLA genes are responsible for the regulation of the immune system in humans. They encode protein molecules located on the surface of cells that are critical for immune function, particularly in the recognition and differentiation between self and non-self molecules. Specific identifiers such as HLA-DRB1*03:01; HLA-DRB1*07:01; HLA-DRB1*15:01; HLA-DRB3*01:01; HLA-DRB3*02:02; HLA-DRB4*01:01; HLA-DRB5*01:01; HLA-DRB1*03:01; HLA-DRB1*07:01; HLA-DRB1*15:01; HLA-DRB3*01:01; HLA-DRB3*02:02; HLA-DRB4*01:01; and HLA-DRB5*01:01; HLA-DRB1*03:01, HLA-DRB1*07:01, HLA-DRB1*15:01, HLA-DRB3*01:01, HLA-DRB3*02:02, HLA-DRB4*01:01 and HLA-DRB5*01:01 as used herein may refer to specific alleles of the HumanLeukocyte Antigen (HLA) system. These alleles are part of the HLA class II region on chromosome 6, which plays a critical role in the immune system, particularly in managing how the immune system responds to external pathogens and antigens.
[0121] The HLA-binding peptides referred to herein (e.g., above) and in the claims (e.g., the Der p 1-derived HLA-binding peptides having SEQ ID. NOs: 6-283; 682-723; the Der f 1-derived HLA-binding peptides having SEQ ID. NOs 287-448; the Der p 2-derived HLA-binding peptides having SEQ ID. NOs: 450-534; 724-743; the Der f 2-derived HLA-binding peptides having SEQ ID. NOs 536-620; the Der p 23-derived HLA-binding peptides having SEQ ID. NOs:622-647; the Der f 23-derived HLA-binding peptides having SEQ ID. NOs: 649-672) have been determined experimentally, as illustrated in Example 2, or predicted, by using the I ED analysis resource NetMCHIIpan (ver. 4.1), as described in Kaabinejadian S, Barra C, Alvarez B, Yari H, Hildebrand WH, Nielsen M., “Accurate MHC Motif Deconvolution of Immunopeptidomics Data Reveals a Significant Contribution of DRB3, 4 and 5 to the Total DR Immunopeptidome”, 2022, Front Immunol., 13:835454. doi: 10.3389 / fimmu.2022.835454.
[0122] The term “peptide linkers” as used herein may refer to short sequences of amino acids (e.g., 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10) used to connect two proteins or peptides within a larger protein construct.
[0123] The term “transmembrane domains” as used herein may refer to regions or portions within membrane proteins that span the lipid bilayer of cellular membranes. These domains are typically composed of hydrophobic amino acids, which allow the protein to embed stably within the membrane's hydrophobic environment.
[0124] The term “cytosolic domains” as used herein may refer to regions or portions of a protein that are located within the cytosol, the internal fluid of the cell's cytoplasm. These domains are part of larger proteins that may span across or attach to cellular membranes but extend into the cytoplasm.
[0125] The term “enzymatically inactive polypeptide” as used herein may refer to a protein or polypeptide that, while structurally similar to an active enzyme, lacks the ability to catalyze chemical reactions. This inactivity can result from a variety of reasons, including mutations, deletions, or modifications in the amino acid sequence that disrupt the active site or alter the protein's conformation.
[0126] The terms “monocistronic” and “polycistronic” as used herein may refer to the structure and function of mRNA molecules in terms of how many proteins they are capable of encoding. A monocistronic mRNA molecule carries the genetic information to synthesize a single type of protein. This means it has the coding sequence for just one protein. A polycistronic mRNA molecule contains the coding sequences for two or more proteins, typically organized in a series of contiguous open reading frames (ORFs). In a preferred embodiment, a polycistronic mRNA molecule encodes for at least two polypeptides of the present invention. For example, a first one of the encoded polypeptides may include a signal polypeptide, an allergenic domain (sequence(b) above), and a transmembrane and cytosolic domain, as illustrated for any one of the polypeptides in Figure 1. The second encoded polypeptide may also include a signal polypeptide, an allergenic domain (sequence (b), and a transmembrane and cytosolic domain, but may differ from the first polypeptide for encoding a different allergenic domain. For example, the first polypeptide may include, as allergenic domain, a polypeptide having at least 80% sequence identity to Der p 1 house dust mite polypeptide according to any one of SEQ ID NO: 3-5, while the second polypeptide may include, as allergenic domain, a polypeptide having at least 80% sequence identity to Der p 2 house dust mite polypeptide according to SEQ ID NO: 449. Of course, different combinations of polypeptides are also possible. For example, the first polypeptide may include, as allergenic domain, a polypeptide having at least 80% sequence identity to Der p 1 house dust mite polypeptide according to any one of SEQ ID NO: 3-5, while the second peptide may consist of a Derf 1-derived HLA-binding peptide, according to any one of SEQ ID NO 287-448 or of a peptide consisting of a Der p 1-derived HLA binding peptide according to any one of SEQ ID NOs: 682-723. Still further, both polypeptides may be HLA-binding peptides, such as a Der p 2-derived HLA binding peptide according to any one of SEQ ID NOs: 450-531, 724-743, and a Der f 2-derived HLA binding peptide according to any one of SEQ ID NOs: 536-620. Still further, the construct may include for a third polypeptide, differing from the other two also for the allergenic domain. In some embodiments, in addition to the allergenic domain, the polypeptides may differ for including different signal polypeptides and / or transmembrand and / or cytosolic domains. Preferred combination of polypeptides encoded by a polycistronic construct are as given in Table 1A below.
[0127] Table 1A. Preferred combination of polypeptides of the present invention:Allergenic domain Allergenic domain Allergenic domainFirst polypeptide Second polypeptide Third polypeptideDer p 1-derived Der p 2- derived Der p-23 derivedDer f 1 -derived Der f 2 - derived Der f-23 derivedDer p 1 -derived Der f 1 -derivedDer p 2- derived Der f 2- derivedDer p 23- derived Der f 23- derived
[0128] Even more preferred combinations corresponds to the first two lines of the Table 1 above (Der p 1-derived, Der p -2 derived, Der p 23-derived; and Der f 1-derived; Der f 2-derived; Der f 23-derived), and the most preferred combination corresponds to the first line of Table 1 above (see also Example 1 below).
[0129] The term “endo-lysosomal-targeted nucleic acid construct” (e.g., an mRNA molecule) as used herein may refer to a nucleic acid construct (e.g., an mRNA) specifically engineered or modified to direct the encoded protein to endo-lysosomal compartments within a cell.
[0130] The term “lipid nanoparticles (LNPs)” as used herein may refer to synthetic nanoparticles that are made from a mixture of lipids that can encapsulate nucleic acids, protecting them from degradation and facilitating their efficient delivery into target cells. LNPs can typically consist of four main types of lipids: ionizable lipids, which help encapsulate and release the RNA payload within cells; helper lipids, which stabilize the lipid bilayer; cholesterol, which provides structural integrity; and polyethylene glycol (PEG)-modified lipids, which help extend circulation time in the body by evading the immune system. Exemplary LNPs can be formulated as follows: 40-60 mol% ionizable lipid (preferably 50 mol%) 36.5-38.5 mol% cholesterol (preferably 37.5 mol%), 9-10 mol% (preferably 10 mol%), DSPC, and 1.5-3.5 mol% PEG-lipid (pereferably 2.5 mol%).
[0131] The term “polymersomes” as used herein may refer to are synthetic vesicles formed from amphiphilic block copolymers.
[0132] The term “IgE” as used herein may refer to Immunoglobulin E, which is a class of antibodies found in mammals that plays a critical role in the body’s allergic responses and defense against parasitic infections. It is one of the five main types of immunoglobulins (antibodies) produced by the immune system.
[0133] The term “kU / L” or kilo units per liter, as used herein may refer to a unit of measurement commonly used in medical diagnostics to quantify the concentration of substances in blood or other bodily fluids. Specifically, it is often used to measure the concentration of antibodies, such as Immunoglobulin E (IgE), in allergy testing.
[0134] In one aspect, the present invention relates to endo-lysosomal-targeted nucleic acid constructs encoding one or more HDM allergens (e.g., at least three allergens) and endo-lysosomal-targeting polypeptides as well as methods and uses thereof, particularly in desensitization- and therapeutical methods relating to HDM-caused allergies.
[0135] The present invention particularly relates to mRNA therapy based on the endo-lysosomal-targeted nucleic acid constructs of the present invention encoding one or more HDM allergens, which is particularly well-tolerated and effective.
[0136] Additionally, endo-lysosomal-targeted nucleic acid constructs of the present invention (e.g., mRNAs) can have an immunostimulatory effect, particularly when N1-methylpseudouridine is used, deviating from a natural mRNA.
[0137] In a further aspect of the present invention, this stimulation leads to enhanced antigen presentation and typically promotes a Type-1 immune response (e.g., IFN-mediated), which counteracts the allergic Type-2 response.
[0138] In a further aspect of the present invention, a faster tolerogenic maturation of T cells takes place due to the reduced availability of allergens in circulation, as initially less IgE is produced. In classic immunotherapy, particularly in the first year of treatment, an increase in IgE is observed, which may prolong the therapy. Beyond these mechanistic aspects, production is also faster and much more cost-effective. Overall, mRNA-based allergen-specific immunotherapy of the present invention provides an opportunity to clearly define the allergen composition of the therapeutic agent, ensuring the therapeutic does not suffer quality variations due to the natural variability of the raw materials and contains no substances that could potentially reduce the effectiveness of the therapy. This has significant potential to increase the efficacy of AIT. The reproducible and simple manufacturability not only offers advantages over extraction from natural allergen sources, but also over the costly production of recombinant allergens.
[0139] In a further aspect of the present invention, it is possible to specifically induce tolerogenic immune responses, which can further enhance the effectiveness of AIT. This approach also allows for the release of intact allergens from cells and avoids activating allergy-triggering mechanisms, thereby increasing the safety of AIT.
[0140] In a further aspect of the present invention, there is a wide range of options, such as the use of lipid nanoparticles or polymersomes for specific targeting of cells or immunomodulators that make the allergen even more tolerogenic.
[0141] In some preferred aspects of the present invention, in order to enhance both safety and / or specificity of desensitization, not all 32 described house dust mite allergens are employed. Instead, a subset of polypeptides (which may include endo-lysosomal targeted wild-type allergens, derivatives thereform, or allergenic sequences derived from the native allergens) may be advantageously used. Specifically, a composition may be provided in which one or more nucleic acid constructs encode for polypeptides differing from each other for one or more of the signal polypeptide / s, the allergenic domain / s (the sequence (b) described above), and / or the transmembrane and / or cytosolic domain / s. Preferably, the polypeptides differ from each other at least for the allergenic domain / s. The number of different polypeptides is not limited. Preferably, at least three different polypeptides are encoded.
[0142] One or more of the nucleic acid constructs included may be polycistronic -encoding for at least two polypeptides - or multiple monocistronic nucleic acid constructs may be included, each encoding a respective polypeptide. Mixtures of monocistronic and polycistronic nucleic acid constructs are also possible.
[0143] The encoded polypeptides will generally include at least an allergenic domain. In some preferred embodiments, the allergenic domains encoded by the polypeptides may be derived from a selected subset of house dust mite allergens. For example, a first polypeptide may comprise or consist of the one or more Der p 1-derived HLA-binding peptides described below, and a second polypeptide may comprise or consist of the one or more Der p-2 derivedH LA-binding peptides described below; furthermore, a third polypeptide may comprise or consists of the one or more Der p-23 derived H LA-binding peptides described below. Each one of the first polypeptide, the second polypeptide and the third polypeptide may independently be a peptide consisting of an HLA binding peptide, may comprise more than one HLA binding peptides, and / or may be a polypeptide further comprising one or more of the signal polypeptides, the transmembrane domain(s), and / or the cytosolic domain(s). Preferred combinations of the allergenic domains (sequence b) are indicated in the Table 1B below.
[0144] Table 1B. Preferred combinations of the allergenic domains of the present invention.Allergenic domain Allergenic domain Allergenic domainFirst polypeptide Second polypeptide Third polypeptideDer p 1 -derived Der p 2- derived Der p-23 derivedDer f 1 -derived Der f 2 - derived Der f-23 derivedDer p 1 -derived Der f 1 -derivedDer p 2- derived Der f 2- derivedDer p 23- derived Der f 23- derivedDer p 1 -derived Der p 1- derived Der p 1- derivedDer p 2-derived Der p 2- derived Der p 2- derivedDer p 23-derived Der p 23- derived Der p 23- derivedDer p 1 -derived Der p 1- derived Derf-1 derivedDer p 1 -derived Der p 2 derived Derf-1 derived
[0145] Most preferably, only three principal house dust mite allergens, specifically Der p 1, Der p 2 und Der p 23, are advantageously used as described elsewhere herein (e.g., as depicted in Example 1 (e.g., Figure 1) and / or 2 and / or Example 3 and / or Example 4 herein, e.g., Table 1A, Table 1B, Table 2 and / or 3). Those are the most preferred allergens of the present invention.
[0146] In some other aspects of the present invention, polypeptide sequences of HDM allergens of the present invention are fused with a polypeptide signal sequence, as well as the transmembrane and cytosolic domains of LAMP-1 (Lysosome-associated membrane glycoprotein 1) or other suitable alternative domains as disclosed elsewhere herein. This fusion directs the allergens into endo-lysosomal compartments within the cell, where they colocalize with MHC class II molecules. This colocalization aims to enhance the crucial antigen-presentation process.
[0147] In some further aspects of the present invention, a high dose of antigen is used for inducing a regulatory T-cell response. Additionally, this mechanism advantageously prevents large quantities of allergens from being freely available in the body, potentially minimizing side effects of the therapy.
[0148] In some additional aspects of the present invention, mRNA-based, endo-lysosomal-focused means of the present invention (e.g., constructs and polypeptides) and methods (e.g., immunotherapy) based thereon advantageously do not trigger a B-cell response. Particularly, lgG4 produced by B cells is considered an important mechanism of action. Preferably, polypeptides of the present invention (e.g., allergens) are released in a 3D structure only from dying cells, which may themselves have an anti-inflammatory effect and thus limit adverse reactions. The constructs of the present invention (e.g., mRNAs of the present invention) can advantageously be taken up by the cells encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles (LNP) or polymersomes and not trigger a B-cell response.
[0149] The present invention further relates to the following items:1. A nucleic acid construct (e.g., selected from RNA and / or DNA constructs) comprising or consisting of one or more (e.g., 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 etc.) of the following sequences, preferably

[0162] Example 1:
[0163] Material and methods:
[0164] Murine model
[0165] Female C57BL6 / J mice aged 5-8 weeks (Charles River, Sulzfeld, Germany) were housed under specific pathogen-free conditions with food and water ad libitum. All experiments were approved by the government of the district of Upper Bavaria (ethical approvals: 55.2-2532.Vet_02-20-098) and carried out under the federal guidelines for the use and care of laboratory animals.
[0166] Allergic and AIT-treated mice were i.n. -sensitized with 1 pg (total protein content) HDM extract (Der p) in 20 pl PBS on three consecutive days followed by i.n. challenges with 10 pg HDM extract on days 8, 13, and 19. Nonallergic mice received 20 pl PBS i.n. AIT was performed with s.c. injections of either 440 pg HDM extract or LNPs (50 mol% ionizable lipid, 37.5-38.5 mol% cholesterol (here used 37.5 mol%), 10 mol% DSPC, and 1.5-2.5 mol% PEG-lipid (here used 2.5 mol%) with individually packaged allergen coding mRNAs (Der p 1, Der p 2 & Der p 23) with a dose of 5 pg per mRNA in 200 pl PBS on days 15, 18, and 22. Not AIT-treated allergic and nonallergic mice received s.c. injections of 200 pl PBS. All mice were challenged i.n. with 10 pg HDM extract on days 30, 31, 32 and 33 and euthanized at day 34 for analysis. The polypeptides encoded by the mRNA used in the Example 1 are the ones shown in Figure 1A, according to SEQ ID NOs: 745-747.
[0167] Cell Isolation (BAL + Leukocytes)
[0168] For isolation of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cells, the chest of euthanized mice was opened, the trachea cannulated and airways lavaged five times with 0.8 mL PBS. BAL cells were further analyzed via flow cytometry. To isolate pulmonary leukocytes, lungs were removed and digested in digestion buffer (RPMI medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific) containing 1 mg / mL collagenase A and 100 pg / mL DNAse I (both from Sigma-Aldrich, Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) using the pre-programmed lung tissue digestion protocol of the gentleMACS dissociator and incubation for 30 min at 37° C. Digested lung tissue was mashed trough a 70 pm cell strainer. Cells were pelleted (400 g, 4 °C, 5 min), resuspended in 5 mL 40% percoll in RPMI (v / v) solution, underlayered with 5 mL 80% percoll solution, and centrifuged (1600 g, RT, 15 min). Lymphocyteswere collected from the interphase and washed with PBS. Finally red blood cells were lysed with ACK buffer for 2 min.

[0170] Isolated BALF cells were treated with Fc block for 10 min at 4°C and then stained with a fixable viability dye for 10 min at 4° C. Cells were washed twice with FACS buffer (1 % FCS in PBS) and labeled with antibodies against surface markers for 20 min at 4° C. Stained cells were washed twice and resuspended in FACS buffer, and analyzed using an LSRFortessa™ flow cytometer.
[0171] Pulmonary lymphocytes were treated with Fc block for 10 min at 4°C and then stained with a fixable viability dye (for 10 min at 4° C to exclude dead cells). Cells were washed twice with PBS and labeled with antibodies against surface markers for 20 min at 4° C. Cells were washed twice with PBS and subsequently fixed with the eBioscienceTM FoxP3 / Transcription factor kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific) over night. After washing twice with fixation / permeabilization kit buffer, intracellular staining was performed for 1 h at room temperature. Cells were washed once with fixation / permeabilization kit buffer and FACS buffer, resuspended in FACS buffer, and analyzed using a BD LSRFortessa™ flow cytometer.
[0172] Antibody measurements
[0173] Serum levels of total lgG1, lgG2b, lgG2c and lgG3 levels were analyzed using the LEGENDplex™ Mouse Immunoglobulin Isotyping Panel (BioLegend) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For the detection of Der p-specific lgG1, plates were coated with goat-anti-mouse IgG 1 (Citeq) followed by incubation with mouse sera. Der p-slgG1 was detected with a biotinylated Der p extract (Citeq). Quantification of total IgE (tlgE) was performed with the BD Mouse IgE ELISA set (BD Biosciences) following the manufacturer’s instructions. For the detection of Der p-specific IgE, plates were coated with IgE capture antibody (BD Biosciences) followed by incubation with mouse sera. Der p-sIgE was detected with a biotinylated Der p extract (Citeq).
[0174] Results
[0175] The following results as shown in Figure 3-6 habe been obtained with the exemplary constructs of the present invention (Der p 1 , Der p 2 & Der p 23) as carried out according to the procedures outlined above and in Figures 1-2.
[0176] Figure 3 shows the quantification of the absolute cell counts and numbers of eosinophils, alveolar macrophages, CD4+ lymphocytes, CD8+ lymphocytes and natural killer cells (NK cells) in the bronchoalveolar lavage at the end of the experiment (day 34). The respective cell populations show a significant increase after sensitization and subsequent allergen challenge of the animals without therapy (HDM-allergic) compared to the control group (non-allergic), reflecting a high cell infiltration induced by the allergic inflammation. The applied mRNAAIT of the present invention can significantly reduce the effect of this allergic inflammation by reducing cell infiltration (lower total cell count and reduced cell count of specific effector cells). This contrasts with classic extract AIT, which only leads to a slight reduction in the total cell count and eosinophils. Statistical analyses were performed using the Mann-Whitney test, p-values of < .05, < .01, < .001, < .0001 are shown as *, **, ***, ****. AIT, allergen-specific immunotherapy; BALF, bronchoalveolar lavage; HDM, house dust mite.
[0177] Figure 4 shows the quantification of GATA3+CD4+ T cells (Th2 cells) as a percentage of total CD4+ T cells in lung tissue at the end of the experiment (day 34). Th2 cell-driven allergic inflammation is a central molecular component underlying type 1 allergy (e.g. house dust mite allergy). An increase in this specific T cell population can be seen after allergic sensitization and subsequent provocation. mRNA AIT of the present invention leads to a significant reduction of this disease-associated cell population to a level similar to that observed in the control group (non-allergic). In contrast, extract AIT seems to have no effect. Statistical analyses were performed using the Mann-Whitney test, p-values of < .05, < .01, < .001, < .0001 are shown as *, **, ***, ****. AIT, allergen-specific immunotherapy; HDM, house dust mite.
[0178] Figure 5 shows the level of total (concentration) and house dust mite-specific (OD) IgE antibodies in serum at the end of the experiment (day 34). IgE is considered to be another central molecular component in direct type 1 hyperreactivity reactions. Allergen provocation after previous sensitization leads to a significant increase in allergen-specific IgE in addition to an increase in total IgE in serum. This increase in IgE titer associated with HDM allergy can be significantly reduced by mRNA therapy to the same extent as classical extract AIT. Statistical analyses were performed using the Mann-Whitney test, p-values of < .05, < .01, < .001, < .0001 are shown as *, **, ***, ****. AIT, allergen-specific immunotherapy; Der p, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus; HDM, house dust mite; OD, optical density.
[0179] Figure 6 shows the level of house dust mite-specific lgG1 antibodies as well as total lgG1, lgG2c, lgG2band lgG3 antibodies in serum at the end of the experiment (day 34). Part of a successful AIT therapy is considered to be the shift from an IgE dominated to a more IgG mediated humoral response. We can observe this type of shift in the course of mRNA AIT. This leads to a significant increase in the p-specific lgG1 as well as the total lgG1 and lgG2c titres. This significant increase is also observed in the course of classic AIT (extract AIT), but to a lesser extent. In addition, only the mRNA AIT leads to a significant reduction in the total lgG3 titer compared to the allergic group (HDM-allergic). Statistical analyses were performed using the Mann-Whitney test, p-values of < .05, < .01, < .001, < .0001 are shown as *, **, ***, ****. AIT, allergen-specific immunotherapy; Der p, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus; HDM, house dust mite; OD, optical density.

[0181] Methods
[0182] Generation of Der p 1 and Der p 2 specific T-cell lines
[0183] Der p 1 or Der p 2 specific TCL were obtained according to a procedure as previously described (Kahlertetal., 1999; Schramm et al., 1999) by initial seeding of 1x105PBMC and 5 pg / ml nDer p 1or 4 pg / ml nDer p 2 respectively in Ultraculture medium (Lonza, Verviex, Belgium) supplemented with 2 mM UltraGlutamine I (Lonza, Verviex, Belgium) antibiotic-antimycotic solution (Sigma, Taufkirchen, Germany) and 20 M p-mercaptoethanol (Invitrogen, ) in 100 l volume in a 96-well round-bottom culture plate. Cultures were fed twice after 6 and 9 days with IL-2 (10-25 U / ml; Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch-Gladbach, Germany) before a proliferation assay was performed 12 to 14 days after starting the culture. TCL with a stimulation index (SI) > 2 were considered as positive. Positive TCL received another stimulation with Der p 1 or Der p 2 respectively and mitomycin c-treated autologous PBMC, and were transferred to a 48-well culture plate. TCL were stimulated with IL-2 every 3 to 4 days, and after 12 to 14 days a second proliferation test was performed. Positive TCL were further expanded under alternating stimulation at first with allergen and mitomycin c-treated autologous PBMC and then with phytohaemagglutinin and mitomycin c-treated allogenous PBMC (a mixture of PBMC from 3 non-allergic donors).
[0184] Proliferation assay
[0185] T-cells were seeded in triplicate at 2 x 104cells / well in 96-well round-bottom culture plates under stimulation with the Dermatophagoides allergen extracts in a concentration 10 PNU / ml, 100 PNU / ml and 1000 PNU / ml and 5 x 104mitomycin-c treated autologous PBMC or 5 x 103moDC. After 48 h incubation 1 pCi 3H-thymidine (PerkinElmer, Rodgau-Jugesheim, Germany) was added to each well and the plates were further incubated for 16 h. Cells were then harvested on Microbeta filter mats with a 96-well cell harvester (PerkinElmer). After drying, the filter mats were prepared for counting by melting the solid scintillator Meltilex using a microplate heatsealer (PerkinElmer). Counting was performed in a Microbeta scintillation counter (PerkinElmer). The stimulation index (SI) was calculated as the quotient of counts per minute (cpm) of the allergen stimulated cells (T-cells, APC, allergen) and the unstimulated control cells (T-cells, APC, without allergen).
[0186] Characterization of Der p 1 and Der p 2-reactive TCL
[0187] The Der p 1 and Der p 2-specific TCL were characterized by epitope mapping with synthetic peptides. Peptides were synthesized by solid-phase synthesis on polyethylene pins as previously described (Schramm et al., 1999). A total of 71 Der p 1 (isoform Der p 1.0105) and 40 Der p 2 (isoform Der p 2 .0114) 12-mer peptides overlapping by nine amino acids, spanned the amino acid sequences of the respective molecules. In stimulation assays T-cells peptides were used at a concentration of 2 pg / ml.

[0209] Blood sample collection and processing
[0210] For LNP testing in PBMCs, 4 healthy individuals and 7 individuals with house dust mite allergies were recruited from the pool of participants of an ongoing study following approval by the responsible ethics committee. Patients with allergies were identified by a positive history of symptomatic allergy and an enzyme allergosorbent test (EAST) class >3 (Euroline, Euroimmun, Lubeck, Germany). One blood donor showed weaker sensitization in the EAST with classes between 2 and 3. A negative history of allergy and EAST class 0 were used to select non-allergic participants as controls. Participants were 20-70 years old at the time of blood collection, received no corticosteroids in the 4 weeks before the blood donation, and were not under the effect of antihistamines.
[0211] LNP transfection of PBMC
[0212] Isolated PBMC were transferred to a 96-well plate (106cells / well) and transfected with 1.0 g of trivalent HDM mRNA-LNPs (LNP A or LNP B formulated with a different ionizable Lipid A- D; SEQ ID NOs: 749, 751, 753, 755, 757, 759). The 50% / 50% LNP A and LNP B mixture was also applied (LNP A+B). While trivalent LNP A contains mRNAs coding for allergens Der p 1 (SEQ ID NO: 749), Der p 2 (SEQ ID NO: 753) and Der p 23 (SEQ ID NO: 757), trivalent LNP B contains RNAs coding for allergens Derf 1 (SEQ ID NO: 751), Derf 2 (SEQ ID NO: 755), Der f 23 (SEQ ID NO: 759). The assessed LNP preparations A-D differ by the ionizable lipid. Transfection efficiency and expression of HDM allergens were assessed via flow cytometry 20 h post transfection. For intracellular HDM protein detection, cells were further restimulated with phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (50 ng / mL) and ionomycin (500 ng / mL) in the presence of brefeldin A (5 pg / mL) and monensin (2 pM) at 37°C for 3-4 hours. Cells were stained for surface markers, including HLA-DR, CD14, CD11c, CD209 at RT for 30 minutes. In parallel, cells were stained with fixable viability dye Live / Dead Green. After washing with PBS, cells were fixed and permeabilized using the FoxP3 / Transcription Factor Staining Buffer Set (e-bioscience) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Subsequently, cells were stained intracellularly with anti-HDM fluorescent antibody at RT for 30 min. Flow cytometry analysis was conducted on a BD FACSVerse machine with FACSuite analysis software.
[0213] Quantification of cytokines
[0214] PBMCs were exposed to HDM mRNA-LNPs for at least 20 hours. The cell culture supernatants were collected for cytokines quantification using the BioLegend LEGENDplex kit Human Th Cytokine Panel (Cat. No 741028) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. TheLEGENDplex assay captures molecules through beads with distinct sizes and fluorescence coated with capture antibodies that bind their specific analytes during incubation. Biotinylated detection antibodies and streptavidin-PE generate a fluorescence signal proportional to analyte levels. Flowcytometric separation of bead populations enables simultaneous and quantitative analyte detection. The absolute concentration of each factor was determined using the LEGENDplex data analysis software based on a standard curve recorded for each factor and run. Cytokine concentrations below the limit of detection (LOD) were assigned a value of zero for subsequent analyses.
[0215] Results:
[0216] After transfection with different HDM mRNA-LNP-constructs for 24 h human PBMCs were analysed via flow cytometry to show LNP-mediated antigen expression. As a representative example for antigen expression, Der p / f group 2 protein was intracellularly detected with a Der p / f group 2 specific PE-labeled antibody (Figure 9). Efficient antigen expression was found in the broader HLA-DR+cell population with 10-40%, compared to particularly high transfection rates within professional antigen-presenting cell subsets (CD209+ / CD11c+ / CD14+ / HLA-DR+), reaching 10-80%. It should be noted that the PBMCs were subjected to restimulation and Golgi-blockade, which may have influenced the protein expression levels. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that LNPs preferentially target endocytic APC populations, enabling robust antigen expression. Interestingly, successful transfection was detected in both allergic and non-allergic donors (data not shown).
[0217] After transfection of PBMCs from allergic and non-allergic donors with different HDM mRNA-LNP-constructs for 24 h, the cytokine secretion in the culture supernatant was analysed via Biolegend Legendplex. Representatively, the expression levels of two TH2 cytokines, IL-5 and IL-13, are shown in Figure 10. Supernatants from allergic PBMCs exhibited an induction of IL5 (Figure 10A) and IL13 (Figure 10C), whereas cells from non-allergic donors showed only minimal responses (Figure 10Aand 10D). Interestingly, high transfection efficiencies were detected in allergic and non-allergic donors indicating that functional differences in downstream cytokine secretion might derive from preexisting allergen-specific immune memory rather than a non-specific LNP effect. The observed selective cytokine upregulation strongly suggests an antigen presentation to allergen-specific cells, most probably TH2 cells. Consistently, different ionizable lipid formulations resulted in the same differential pattern, further supporting antigen-dependent recall activation restricted to allergic individuals.

[0219] Optimized mRNA constructs and corresponding protein sequences used in this example are the same as in Example 3 above.
[0220] Methods
[0221] 1) Murine model
[0222] Female C57BL6 / J mice aged ~5 weeks (Charles River, Sulzfeld, Germany) were housed under specific pathogen-free conditions with food and water ad libitum. All experiments were approved by the government of the district of Upper Bavaria (ethical approvals: 55.2-2532.Vet_02-25-37) and carried out under the federal guidelines for the use and care of laboratory animals.
[0223] Female C57BL / 6J mice, 6-8 weeks old, were sensitized with a mixture of Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Der p) & Dermatophagoides farinae (Der f) HDM extract (Greer Laboratories Inc.; Der p, Cat#: XPB91D3A2.5, Lot#: 446803; Derf, Cat#:XPB81D3A2.5, Lot#: 435703) by 3 intranasal (i.n.) instillations on 3 consecutive days of 20 pl extract (reconstituted in 0,9% sterile NaCI and diluted in sterile PBS), 10 pl per nostril, containing a total protein content of 2 pg, 1 pg / species. Non-allergic mice received PBS. On days 7, 12 and 19 mice received further i.n. maintenance challenges as described for the sensitization. On days 14, 17 and 21 mice were treated subcutaneously (s.c.) with 200 pl of either sterile 0,9% NaCI (non-allergic, HDM-allergic) or different HDM mRNA-LNP preparations with 5 pg mRNA / allergen (L1, L2, L3, and L4, prepared as in Example 3 above). Finally, on days 29-32, all mice received i.n. challenges with HDM extract with a total protein content of 10 pg total protein, 5 pg / species. Mice were sacrificed on day 35 for further analysis. AIT, allergen-specific immunotherapy; Der f, Dermatophagoides farinae’, Der p, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus’, HDM, house dust mite; i.n., intranasal; LNP, lipid nanoparticle; mRNA, messenger ribonucleic acid; NaCI, sodium chloride; PBS, phosphate-buffered saline s.c., subcutaneous.
[0224] 2) Cell Isolation (BAL + lung lymphocytes)
[0225] For isolation of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cells, the chest of euthanized mice was opened, the trachea cannulated and airways lavaged five times with 0.5 mL PBS. Cells were pelleted (xxx g, 4 °C, 5 min), the supernatant was collected ant frozen at -80 °C for further analysis and the cells were resuspended in 1 ml PBS and stored on ice until further processing. BAL cells were further analyzed via flow cytometry. To isolate pulmonary leukocytes, lungs were removed and digested in 5 ml digestion buffer (RPMI medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific) containing 1 mg / mL type IV collagenase and 100 pg / mL DNAse I (both from Sigma-Aldrich, Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) using the pre-programmed lung tissue digestion protocol (m_lung_01_02) of the gentleMACS dissociator followed by incubation for 30 min at 37 °C and shaking at 225 rpm, after which tissue was completely dissociated using the second-step program (m_lung_02_01). After adding 10 pl 0,5 MEDTA, digested lung tissue was mashed trough a 70 pm cell strainer. Cells were pelleted (450 g, 4 °C, 5 min), resuspended in 5 mL40% percoll in RPMI (v / v) solution, underlayered with 5 mL 80% percoll solution (v / v), and centrifuged (1600 g, RT, 15 min). Mononuclear cells were collected from the interphase and washed with PBS. Finally redblood cells were lysed with ACK buffer for 5 min at room temperature and washed twice with FACS buffer (2% FCS, 2 mM EDTA in PBS) and stored on ice until further processing.
[0226] 3) Lymphocyte stimulation
[0227] After red blood cell lysis, cells were resuspended in 100 l RPMI complete (RPMI1640, 10% FCS (v / v), 1% (v / v) Pen-Strep, 1% (v / v) L-Glutamine, 1% (v / v) non-essential aminoacids, 1% (v / v) Sodium Pyruvate, 5 pM beta-Mercaptoethanol), seeded onto 96-well, flatbottom plates. Then, 50 pl of stimulation medium (RPMI complete, 60 ng / ml PMA, 3pg / ml ionomycin) were added to a final concentration of 20 ng / ml PMA and 1 pg / ml ionomycin. After 1 h incubation at 37 °C (5% (v / v) CO2 and H2O saturated atmosphere), 50 pl of brefeldin A containing RPMI complete is added to a final concentration of 5 pg / ml brefeldin A, followed by another 3 h of incubation at 37 °C (5% (v / v) CO2 and H2O saturated atmosphere). Cells were then transferred to 96-well, V-bottom plates and washed 2 times with PBS for further processing, i.e. flow cytometric analysis.
[0228] 4) Flow cytometric analysis
[0229] Isolated BALF cells were transferred to 96-well, V-bottom plates and treated with Fc block (in PBS) for 10 min at 4 °C and then labeled with staining mix (in PBS) for 20 min at 4 °C stained. Cells were washed twice with FACS buffer (2% FCS, 2 mM EDTA in PBS) and resuspended in 100 pl FACS buffer, and analyzed using a BD LSRFortessa™ flow cytometer.
[0230] Pulmonary lymphocytes were treated with Fc block (in PBS) for 10 min at 4°C and then labeled with staining mix (in PBS) for 20 min at 4 °C stained. Cells were washed twice with PBS and subsequently fixed with the eBioscienceTM FoxP3 / Transcription factor kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific) according to manufacturer instructions. In short, cells are resuspended in 200 pl Fix / Perm concentrate (diluted 1:4 with Fix / Perm diluent), incubated for 20 miin at RT, washed twice with 200 pl permeabilization buffer (diluted 1:10 in ddH2O). Washing was followed by, intracellular staining overnight at 4 °C with staining mix in FACS buffer. The next day, cells were washed twice with permeabilization buffer diluted 1:10 in ddH2O), once with FACS buffer and finally resuspended in 100 pl FACS buffer for measurement using a BD LSRFortessa™ flow cytometer
[0231] 5) Antibody measurements
[0232] Serum levels of total lgG1, lgG2b, lgG2c and lgG3 levels were analyzed using the LEGENDplex™ Mouse Immunoglobulin Isotyping Panel (BioLegend) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For the detection of Der p / f-specific lgG1 and lgG2c, 384-well plates (Thermo Fisher Scientific, 384-well, flat-bottom, transparent, MaxiSorp) were coated with 20 pl recombinant allergen solution (10 pg / ml in PBS) overnight at 4 °C. Plates were washed with 100 pl wash buffer (0,05% Tween-20 (v / v) in PBS) and blocked with 100 pl blocking buffer (4% biotin-free BSA (Carl Roth) in PBS) for 2 h at RT. After a washing step, 20 pl of with PBS diluted serum samples was added to the wells and incubated overnight at 4 °C. Blanks received onlyPBS. For lgG1 Serum was diluted 1:5000 and for lgG2c 1:2000. The next day, plates were washed 4 times, followed by a 2 h incubation with 20 pl of biotinylated anti-mouselgG1 (Southern Biotech [1144-08], 1:5000 in 1% biotin-free BSA in PBS) or biotinylated anti-mouselgG2c (BS [553388], 1:3000 in 1% biotin-free BSA in PBS). After 4 washing steps, 20 pl of strepavidin-HRP (Southern Biotech [7105-05], 1:6000 in biotin-free BSA in PBS) was added and incubated for 30 min at RT. Finally, after 4 washing steps 20 pl HRP-substrate was added. The development reaction was stopped by the addition of 10 pl 2 M H2SO4 and the ODs were measured at a light wavelength of 450 nm using a Tecan Infinite m200 Pro (Tecan).
[0233] Results and conclusions:
[0234] Figure 11 depicts the employed experimental model of house dust mite (HDM) induced allergic airway inflammation and allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT). Female C57BL / 6J mice, 6-8 weeks old, were sensitized with a mixture of Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Der p) & Dermatophagoides farinae (Derf) HDM extract (Greer Laboratories Inc.; Der p, Cat#: XPB91D3A2.5, Lot#: 446803; Der f, Cat#:XPB81D3A2.5, Lot#: 435703) by 3 intranasal (i.n.) instillations on 3 consecutive days of 20 pl extract (reconstituted in 0,9% sterile NaCI and diluted in sterile PBS), 10 pl per nostril, containing a total protein content of 2 pg, 1 pg / species. Non-allergic mice received PBS. On days 7, 12 and 19 mice received further i.n. maintenance challenges as described for the sensitization. On days 14, 17 and 21 mice were treated subcutaneously (s.c.) with 200 pl of either sterile 0,9% NaCI (non-allergic, HDM-allergic) or different LNP preparations (Lipid A - D, variation of the ionizable lipid, as in Example 3 above) with 5 pg mRNA / allergen. Finally, on days 29-32, all mice received i.n. challenges with HDM extract with a total protein content of 10 pg total protein, 5 pg / species. Mice were sacrificed on day 35 for further analysis. AIT, allergen-specific immunotherapy; Der f, Dermatophagoides farinae’, Der p, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus’, HDM, house dust mite; i.n., intranasal; LNP, lipid nanoparticle; mRNA, messenger ribonucleic acid; NaCI, sodium chloride; PBS, phosphate-buffered saline s.c., subcutaneous.
[0235] Conclusion: Mice are double-sensitized with allergen extract of Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Der p) & Dermatophagoides farinae (Der f) and then treated with LNPs containing mRNA encoding for Group 1, 2, and 23 allergens of these species. Note, separate LNPs were produced for each house dust mite species. The results obtained in this model demonstrate efficient treatment of Der p and Der f double-sensitized mice with the 3 major allergens of each species.
[0236] Figure 12 - Cellular Parameters
[0237] Figure 12 (A) shows the quantification of total leukocyte (live CD45+cells) count and the differential cell count of eosinophils (CD11b+CD11c'orlowSiglec-F+Ly6G') in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Cell counts significantly increase after allergic sensitization (HDM-allergic) if compared to non-sensitized mice (non-allergic) reflecting a strong immune cellinfiltration after the induction of allergic airway inflammation. mRNA-based allergenimmunotherapy (s.c.) with differently formulated LNPs (Lipid A - D, each formulated with a different ionizable lipid) is able to reduce the observed cell infiltration. (B) shows the frequency of TH1 (IFN-Y+FOXP3') and TH2 (GATA3+FOXP3‘) within the T-helper cell population (CD45+CD3+CD4+). TH2 are slightly elevated after allergic sensitization and represent a major component of type I allergic diseases (e.g. HDM-allergy) and are associated with a type 2 immune response, while mRNA-based AIT seems to dampen these effects. On the other hand TH1 cells are reduced after sensitization and are significantly increased through mRNA-based AIT. TH1 cells are associated with a type 1 immune response which is generally discussed as counteracting TH2 biased allergic reactions. Statistical analysis was performed on log-transformed data using either Dunnett’s or Dunnett’s T3 test for multiple comparisons between the HDM-allergic group and the individual LNP groups. Non-allergic and HDM-allergic were compared by Welch’s t-test. P-values of < .05, < .01, < .001, < .0001 are displayed as *, **, ***, ****, respectively. AIT, allergen-specific immunotherapy; CD, cluster of differentiation; FoxP3, forkhead box P3; GATA3, GATA binding protein 3; HDM, house dust mite; IFN-y, interferon y; LNP, lipid nanoparticle; mRNA, messenger ribonucleic acid; s.c., subcutaneous; Siglec-F, Sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like F; TH, T helper cell.
[0238] Conclusion: mRNA-based allergen-immunotherapy (AIT) reduces cell infiltration into the lung with key populations of allergic airway inflammation (eosinophils and TH2) showing a similar trend. Furthermore, all LNP formulations induce potentially beneficial TH1 cell recruitment to the lung.
[0239] Figure 13 - Total Immunoglobulin Levels
[0240] Figure 13 shows the titers of different immunoglobulin classes (total) in the serum. Total IgE levels rise through allergic sensitization and stay elevated throughout the course of the mRNA-based AIT. IgE is another central molecular component of type I hypersensitivity reactions. mRNA-based AIT leads to significant increases in serum titers of total lgG1, lgG2c, and lgG2b. The shift from an IgE dominated to a IgG mediated humoral response is seen as a major hallmark of a successful AIT. Especially high titers of lgG2c are induced in therapeutic groups. Data is displayed on logarithmic scale. Statistical analysis was performed on log-transformed data using Dunnett’s T3 test for multiple comparisons between the HDM-allergic group and the individual LNP groups. Non-allergic and HDM-allergic were compared by Welch’s t-test. P-values of < .05, < .01, < .001, < .0001 are displayed as *, **, ***, ****, respectively. AIT, allergen-specific immunotherapy; HDM, house dust mite; Ig, immunoglobulin; LNP, lipid nanoparticle; mRNA, messenger ribonucleic acid.
[0241] Conclusion: Induced IgE through allergic sensitization remains elevated throughout the treatment course. Independet of LNP formulation, mRNA-based AIT increases serum titers of potentially protective immunoglobulin isotypes lgG1, lgG2c and lgG2b.
[0242] Figure 14 - Allergen-specific lgG1 and lgG2c Titers
[0243] Figure 14 (A) shows the level of allergen-specific lgG1 in the serum, measured as ODA45O values. Measured were lgG1 levels against the group 1 and group 2 HDM allergens of Der p and Derf, as well as Der p 23. Notably, HDM-allergic mice show no induction of allergen-specific lgG1, whereas mRNA-based AIT leads to significant increases of these levels. (B) Similarly, a significant induction of allergen-specific lgG2c was observed after mRNA-based AIT against the group 1 and group 2 HDM allergens of Der p and Der f, as well as Der p 23. Taken together this data shows the potency of the mRNA-based AIT to induce potentially protective IgGs. Statistical analysis was performed using Dunnett’s T3 test for multiple comparisons between the HDM-allergic group and the individual LNP groups. P-values of < .05, < .01, < .001, < .0001 are displayed as *, **, ***, ****, respectively. AIT, allergen-specific immunotherapy; Der p / f, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus / farinae', HDM, house dust mite; Ig, immunoglobulin; LNP, lipid nanoparticle; mRNA, messenger ribonucleic acid; ODA4SO, optical density at 450 nm light wavelength.
[0244] Conclusion: All LNP formulations lead to a robust induction of potentially protective allergen-specific I gG 1 and lgG2c antibody titers.
