The invention discloses an engineered
extracellular vesicle capable of efficiently delivering
circular RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) based on an
intracellular cyclization technology as well as a construction method and application of the engineered
extracellular vesicle. A circRNA
expression vector is designed on the basis of a tRNA shearing mediated cyclization mechanism, and the sequence of the circRNA
expression vector is systematically optimized, so that the transcription and translation efficiency in mammalian cells is improved. Secondly, the EV membrane is subjected to
engineering modification by displaying an
RNA binding protein capable of recognizing and enriching circRNA. Thirdly,
biogenesis and
secretion of the EV are enhanced by co-expressing the key regulatory
gene. By integrating these methods, a robust platform is established for high-yield encapsulation and functional delivery of circRNA, and has been verified by
in vivo studies. In a word, the work provides an extensible and efficient
engineering framework for circRNA treatment based on EV, and opens up a new way for
RNA delivery.
