Description

Polypeptide polymer composite nanoparticle for mRNA delivery and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field

Background
In recent years, rapid advances in the field of gene therapy have brought cancer patients with a number of innovative therapeutic approaches, with emphasis on the efficient delivery of nucleic acid drugs to target cells of patients and therapeutic expression to intervene in or treat cancer. Thus, there is a need for gene vectors that can efficiently and safely deliver nucleic acid drugs to patients. Genetic vectors are generally classified into: viral and non-viral, non-viral gene delivery has the advantages of greater loading capacity, lower immunogenicity, and fewer side effects than most viral vectors. In gene therapy, a good gene vector has the advantages of targeting property, effectiveness, safety, easiness in preparation and the like, so that the nucleic acid medicament has an anti-tumor effect. Therefore, we have focused on developing a safe and effective non-viral gene vector to deliver mRNA, which can be stably expressed in vivo, and can suppress the proliferation of tumor cells and achieve the purpose of gene therapy.

Cell Penetrating Peptides (CPPs) are a class of short peptides that are capable of crossing the cell membrane or tissue barrier. The CPPs can carry carried biological macromolecules such as protein, nucleic acid and nano particles into cells to play an effect function thereof through mechanisms such as endocytosis and direct penetration, thereby becoming an important technical tool for improving the drug delivery efficiency and having good application prospect in the field of biomedical research. The CPPs can realize the improvement of the cell delivery capacity of the nanoparticles through covalent coupling with the nano-carrier.

The DMP-039 nanoparticle has the advantages of high mRNA delivery efficiency, low cytotoxicity and the like.
The cationic phospholipid DOTAP adopted in the invention is chemically named as (2, 3-dioleoxypropyl) trimethyl ammonium chloride, is called DOTAP for short, and has a chemical structural formula shown in figure 1. According to the invention, the DOTAP is adopted to prepare the nanoparticles, on one hand, the DOTAP phospholipid is also amphiphilic and can be self-assembled into the nanoparticles together with the mPEG-PCL polymer which is amphiphilic; on the other hand, the DOTAP phospholipid has positive points, can generate electrostatic adsorption with mRNA molecules with negative electricity, and realizes the delivery of the mRNA; furthermore, since the cell membrane is also composed of lipids, the presence of DOTAP can facilitate transmembrane uptake of the nanoparticles.

The mPEG-PCL has biodegradability, biocompatibility and amphipathy, can be self-contained in aqueous solution to form nanoparticles, and is an ideal nano-drug carrier framework material.
One of the amphiphilic copolymers adopted in the invention is maleimide-polyethylene glycol-polycaprolactone, called Mal-PEG-PCL for short, and the chemical structural formula is shown in figure 3. Mal-PEG-PCL not only has biodegradability, biocompatibility and amphipathy, but also can be self-assembled into nanoparticles in aqueous solution, and can be covalently coupled with polypeptide through maleimide group, so that the Mal-PEG-PCL is an ideal nano-drug functionalized carrier framework material.
The cell-penetrating peptide cRGD-R9 adopted in the invention has a chemical structural formula shown in figure 4, is a short peptide with a cell penetrating function, and has a function of promoting the absorption of cells through membranes.
The invention determines the weight ratio of mPEG-PCL to DOTAP in the DMP-039 nanoparticles through a screening test, wherein the weight ratio of mPEG-PCL to DOTAP is adopted as follows: the DMP-039 nanoparticles are prepared at a ratio of 1: 1-20: 1, cell transfection experiments are carried out on the nanoparticles, and experiments show that the mPEG-PCL polymer has better transfection efficiency when 6-12 parts and 1 part of DOTAP are used, and 9 parts and 1 part of DOTAP are preferable.
The invention determines the weight ratio of Mal-PEG-PCL to mPEG-PCL in the DMP-039 nanoparticles through a screening test, wherein the weight ratio of Mal-PEG-PCL to mPEG-PCL is as follows: 1: 100-1: 20, preparing DMP-039 nanoparticles, and performing cell transfection experiments on the nanoparticles, wherein the experiments show that the transfection efficiency is better when 1 part of Mal-PEG-PCL polymer and 30-50 parts of mPEG-PCL polymer are used, and 1 part of Mal-PEG-PCL polymer and 45 parts of mPEG-PCL copolymer are preferred.
In the preparation process of the early-stage nano gene medicine, the mass ratio range of mRNA to DMP nano in the mRNA/DMP compound is set to be 1: 1-1: 50. Gel retardation analysis and cell transfection experiments show that the DMP-039 nanoparticles can effectively combine mRNA molecules in the proportion range and have better transfection efficiency. On this basis, the ratio is further reduced to 1: 10-1: 30, gel block analysis and cell transfection experiments were again performed to find that DMP-039 delivered the mRNA molecules optimally in this ratio range.
In the mPEG-PCL copolymer required by the preparation of the DMP-039 nanoparticles, the molecular weight ratio of mPEG and PCL is 1:1, and the total molecular weight range of mPEG-PCL is 4000 Da-8000 Da.
In the Mal-PEG-PCL copolymer required by the preparation of the DMP-039 nanoparticles, the molecular weight ratio of PEG and PCL is 1:1, and the total molecular weight range of Mal-PEG-PCL is 4000 Da-8000 Da.
In the cell-penetrating peptide required by the preparation of the DMP-039 nanoparticles, the molar ratio of the DMP nanoparticles to the cell-penetrating peptide is 30: 1.
The DMP-039 nanoparticles obtained by the invention have the average particle size of 250nm and the average potential of +20mv, have good mRNA binding capacity, can protect mRNA from being degraded by RNase enzyme, and have higher mRNA transfection capacity and lower cytotoxicity compared with a carrier material DMP which is not modified by cell-penetrating peptide and a gold-labeled transfection material PEI 25K.
The DMP-039 nanoparticle prepared by the invention belongs to biodegradable cationic nanoparticles, and is a novel non-viral vector of a gene transfer system. The nano-particle can be combined with mRNA through electrostatic interaction, can effectively introduce a target gene in the form of mRNA into tumor cells, and has the characteristics of low cytotoxicity, high transfection rate and the like.
