Description

Lipid nanoparticle composition and drug delivery system prepared from same
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biological medicine preparations, and particularly relates to a lipid nanoparticle containing a novel lipid compound, and a pharmaceutical composition or a drug delivery system, such as an mRNA vaccine, which is prepared from the lipid nanoparticle and carries an active ingredient.
Background
Different types of nucleic acid preparations are being developed for the treatment of a variety of important diseases such as infectious diseases, cancer, rare diseases, and the like. Such nucleic acid preparations include: DNA, antisense nucleic Acids (ASO), small interfering RNA (siRNA), microrna (miRNA), small activating RNA (saRNA), messenger RNA (mRNA), aptamers (aptamer), ribozymes (ribozymes), and the like. Among them, mRNA vaccines have subversive advantages in terms of safety, rapid preparation and immunogenicity. Based on the development of mRNA modification and delivery tools, once the viral antigen sequences are obtained, mRNA vaccines with clinical scale can be rapidly designed and manufactured within weeks, and standardized production can be achieved, making it very attractive in dealing with pandemic outbreaks. And the mRNA vaccine has no potential reversion risk of attenuated vaccine; the problem of recovery mutation of the inactivated vaccine does not exist. In terms of immunogenicity, mRNA vaccines are able to induce B-cell and T-cell immune responses, to elicit an immunological memory effect, to deliver more potent antigens, and to express multiple antigens at once. In addition, mRNA can efficiently express antigenic protein only by penetrating cell membranes and in cytoplasm; the mRNA has no risk of integration of the gene into the genome. Thirdly, mRNA is easily degraded after being translated into protein, the safety of mRNA drugs is ensured by the transient expression characteristic, the dosage of the mRNA drugs is controllable, and the antigen immune tolerance (the state of no response to specific antigen) caused by long-term exposure of vaccine drugs is avoided.
However, on one hand, nucleic acid preparations are negatively charged and are mostly large in molecular weight and difficult to directly enter cells, and on the other hand, RNA is unstable and is extremely easy to degrade by nuclease in the process of being introduced into the body, so that the biological function is lost. Therefore, the development of an efficient, safe and versatile nucleic acid delivery system is an urgent problem to be solved in the process of nucleic acid drug transformation.
Currently, methods of nucleic acid delivery include chemical modification, bioconjugation techniques, nanocarrier techniques, lipid-based formulations, exosomes, spherical nucleic acids, DNA nanostructures, stimulus-responsive polymer nanomaterials, and the like. The mature nucleic acid delivery carrier is Lipid Nanoparticles (LNP), an LNP-coated siRNA drug Onpattro (paclitaxel) is approved to be marketed in 2018, an LNP-coated mRNA vaccine has been formally approved by FDA in 2021 and applied to the control of new crown epidemic situations, and clinical results show high effectiveness and no serious adverse reaction exists at present.
The lipid preparation mainly comprises the following components: cationic/ionizable lipids, helper lipids, cholesterol, and polyethylene glycol-lipid conjugates. Of these four lipid components, the charged head of the cationic lipid can bind to negatively charged nucleic acids and also to phospholipid molecules on the cell membrane, playing a key role in both the nucleic acid encapsulation and membrane fusion processes. In view of the potential toxicity of permanent cationic lipids, lipid nanoparticles of ionizable cationic lipids have greater utility.
Ionizable cationic lipids include three important structural components: an amine group-containing hydrophilic polar head; a hydrophobic lipid chain; a linking chain responsible for linking the polar head and the non-polar tail. Currently, the commercially available ionizable cationic lipids are mainly of the MC3 series and ALC-0315, SM-102 for the new coronary mRNA vaccine. Among them, MC3 has strong liver targeting and will be limited in its application to nucleic acid preparations that may have potential hepatotoxicity, and MC3 was developed for siRNA delivery with smaller molecular weight and may have a limitation in its loading for nucleic acid preparations with larger molecular weight. The delivery efficiency of ALC-0315 and SM-102 need to be further improved. Therefore, in order to further advance the development of lipid preparations in China and the application of the lipid preparations in aspects of nucleic acid drug delivery and the like, a new ionizable cationic lipid needs to be developed, and a new nano delivery system needs to be screened and optimized to realize safe and efficient delivery of nucleic acid, for example, safe and efficient delivery of mRNA vaccine components.

A nucleic acid sequence capable of coding the mRNA shown in the SEQ ID No.8 is artificially synthesized, and the sequence is cloned behind a T7 promoter of a pUC57-kana vector, wherein the vector is modified before and already contains sequences capable of coding SEQ ID No. 6, a Kozak sequence, 2 head-to-tail SEQ ID No. 7 and a polyA tail. The nucleic acid sequence encoding the mRNA shown in SEQ ID NO.8 was cloned into a multiple cloning site between Kozak sequence and 2 head-to-tail SEQ ID NO. 7 to construct a plasmid for in vitro transcription.
2. The constructed plasmid is transformed into Escherichia coli Dh5a, cultured and amplified, and the plasmid is extracted.
3. The extracted plasmid was digested into linear molecules using the restriction enzyme SpeI immediately after the polyA tail.
4. The prepared linearized plasmid molecules are used as a template to prepare mRNA (shown as SEQ ID NO: 9) by using an in vitro transcription method (an in vitro transcription kit A45975 of Thermo company), the mRNA is abbreviated as B1.351mRNA hereinafter, and the mRNA is translated to obtain the S protein mutant of the invention, the amino acid sequence of which is directly connected with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2 and the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:3 from the N end to the C end. After the in vitro transcription is complete, CAP structures of CAP1 are added to the mRNA using capping enzyme and dimethyl transferase.
Purification of mRNA: the resulting mRNA stock solution was purified by affinity chromatography.
Quality control of mRNA: the prepared mRNA was analyzed for mRNA integrity on a 2100 bioanalyzer using an RNA 6000nano chip, and the result is shown in FIG. 1, wherein the transcribed mRNA has a single band and is not significantly degraded.
In addition, a Spike fragment was excised from the commercial plasmid pCMV3-Spike by restriction enzymes HindIII and EcoRI and inserted between HindIII and EcoRI sites of the IVT1 vector of example 5 to obtain an IVT1-Spike plasmid. And carrying out point mutation on the plasmid to obtain IVT1-spike-D614G plasmid, carrying out in vitro transcription by taking the plasmid as a template to obtain spike-D614G mRNA, and expressing the full-length S protein containing the D614G mutation.
Detection of cellular level expression of B1.351 mRNA: a CHO-K1 cell line is taken as an expression system, mRNA is transfected by using Lipofectamine Messenger MAX Reagent (Invitrogen, cat # 1168-027), after 48 hours of culture, cell culture supernatant is collected, and an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit for detecting S protein is adopted to detect the expression level of the S protein so as to judge whether the mRNA can be translated into protein or not. The results are shown in FIG. 2. In FIG. 2, "spike DNA" is a commercial plasmid pCMV3-spike (purchased from Chinesian corporation), expressing the full-length wild-type S protein; the "spike-D614G mRNA" is the mRNA expressing the full-length S protein containing the D614G mutation, and the "spike B1.351 mRNA" is the B1.351mRNA, and the expressed S protein mutant is the S protein mutant of the invention, and the result shows that the mRNA of the invention can highly express the S protein mutant in the cell.
After the obtained S protein mutant was purified, structural analysis was performed using a cryo-electron microscope, the 3D structure of the S protein was as shown in fig. 3, and the S protein mutant was a stable structure of prefusion spike structure. The B1.351 mutant strain has a sequence which is different from that of a wild strain in 9 mutation sites, wherein 3 mutation sites are in an RBD region. The RBD domain status of the prefusion S protein of wild strains has been reported to be mainly 1 OPEN, 2 CLOSE structures. The structure of the S protein mutant of the invention is mainly the flexible state of 2 OPENs and 1 CLOSE. This structural difference, which is the structural basis for the enhanced binding and infectivity of the virus to the receptor ACE2, also leads to a significant difference in the immunogenic epitopes of the S protein, and thus to a significant difference in the antibodies, especially neutralizing antibodies, induced on the basis of different structures.

Chemiluminescence assay neutralizing antibody titers against S protein mutants: after immunization, the plasma of mice was neutralized with a luciferase reporter-carrying SPIKE lentivirus (Zhongjingkang; trade name: SRAS-CoV-2 pseudovirus (B.1.351) -LUC; trade name: DZPSC-L-0; batch: K05202102) to infect 293T cells highly expressing ACE-2 (Zhongjingkang; trade name: YJ1B09 "hACE 2-293T cells lines; trade name: YJ293T-01; batch: A02023201), and the plasma neutralization antibody titer was assessed using chemiluminescence (Bright-Lumi II firefly luciferase reporter assay kit, brand: biyun day; trade name: RG 052M).
The control group consisted of 9 mice, each of which was injected subcutaneously with 2ug of protein. Of these, 3 injected proteins were trimer purifications of the S protein translated from B1.351mRNA of example 2, 3 injected proteins were trimers of the wild-type S protein, 3 injected were blank lipid nanoparticles, and the lipid formulation of the lipid nanoparticles was tri-009-BJ-LNP-21040602 in example 3.
A total of 18 mice in the experimental group were injected subcutaneously with lipid nanoparticles of mRNA; lipid Nanoparticles (LNPs) injected with 0.2 μ g of mRNA No. 1-6, 1 μ g of mRNA No. 7-12, and 5 μ g of mRNA No. 13-18 in example 2, wherein the mRNA is B1.351mRNA and the formulation of the lipid nanoparticles is tri-009-BJ-LNP-21040602 in example 3.
The levels of mouse bound antibody expression and neutralizing antibody after primary and secondary immunizations are shown in FIGS. 7-8.
As can be seen from a, B and c in FIG. 7, the trimer S protein translated from B1.351mRNA in example 2 and the trimer S protein in wild type both induced anti-S protein binding antibodies in mice: higher concentrations of bound antibody were already produced in the experimental mice at the second immunization, which remained high 8 weeks after the second immunization, and were calculated to be around 2.2. Mu.g/ml and around 1.6. Mu.g/ml at 8 weeks after the second immunization.
As can be seen in FIGS. 8 d, e, and f, mice post-immunisation with LNP-encapsulated mRNA formulations induced anti-S protein binding antibody in the mice even in the low dose (0.2. Mu.g) injection group, which was calculated to be at a level of about 0.1-0.3. Mu.g/ml. As can be seen in fig. 8, g, h, i, the mice post-immunisation with LNP-encapsulated mRNA preparations induced better neutralising antibodies with GMT values of 78.69, 21.9 and 72.19 respectively.
The embodiments of the present invention have been described above. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. Any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
