Description

RNA delivery system for treating pulmonary fibrosis
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of biomedicine, in particular to an RNA delivery system for treating pulmonary fibrosis.
Background
Pulmonary fibrosis is the terminal change of a large group of lung diseases characterized by fibroblast proliferation and massive extracellular matrix aggregation with inflammatory injury and tissue structure destruction, namely structural abnormality (scar formation) caused by abnormal repair after normal alveolar tissues are damaged. Pulmonary fibrosis seriously affects the respiratory function of the human body, manifested as dry cough and progressive dyspnea (insufficient conscious qi), and the respiratory function of the patient is continuously worsened with the aggravation of the disease condition and the lung injury. The incidence and mortality of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis increases year by year, with an average survival period of only 2.8 years after diagnosis, with mortality rates higher than that of most tumors, known as a "neoplastic-like disease".
RNA interference (RNAi) therapy has been considered a promising strategy for the treatment of human diseases since its invention, but in clinical practice a number of problems have been encountered, the progress of which has fallen far behind expectations.
It is generally considered that RNA cannot exist stably for a long period outside the cell because RNA is degraded into fragments by RNase which is abundantly present outside the cell, therefore, it is necessary to find a method for stably presenting RNA outside cells and targeting RNA into specific tissues, so as to highlight the effect of RNAi therapy.
Many patents related to siRNA are focused on the following aspects: 1. siRNA with medical effect is designed. 2. The siRNA is chemically modified, so that the stability of the siRNA in an organism is improved, and the yield is improved. 3. Various artificial carriers (such as lipid nanoparticles, cationic polymers and viruses) are designed to improve the efficiency of siRNA delivery in vivo. Among them, the patent of the 3 rd aspect is many, and the root cause thereof is that researchers have recognized that there is a lack of suitable siRNA delivery system for delivering siRNA to target tissues safely, accurately and efficiently, which has become a core problem that restricts RNAi therapy.
A virus (Biological virus) is a noncellular organism which is small in size, simple in structure, contains only one nucleic acid (DNA or RNA), and must be parasitic in living cells and proliferated in a replicative manner. Viral vectors can bring genetic material into cells, and the principle is that viruses have a molecular mechanism of transmitting their genomes into other cells for infection, can occur in whole living organisms (in vivo) or in cell culture (in vitro), and are mainly applied to basic research, gene therapy or vaccines. However, there are currently few studies related to the use of viruses as vectors for the delivery of RNA, in particular siRNA, using specific self-assembly mechanisms.
Chinese patent with publication number CN108624590A discloses a siRNA capable of inhibiting DDR2 gene expression; chinese patent with publication number CN108624591A discloses a siRNA capable of silencing ARPC4 gene, and the siRNA is modified by alpha-phosphorus-selenium; chinese patent with publication number CN108546702A discloses siRNA of targeting long-chain non-coding RNA DDX11-AS 1. Chinese patent publication No. CN106177990A discloses a siRNA precursor that can be used for various tumor treatments. These patents have designed specific sirnas and are directed to certain diseases caused by genetic changes.
Chinese patent publication No. CN108250267A discloses a polypeptide, polypeptide-siRNA induced co-assembly, using polypeptide as a carrier of si RNA. Chinese patent publication No. CN108117585A discloses a polypeptide for promoting breast cancer apoptosis by targeted introduction of siRNA, and also uses the polypeptide as a carrier of siRNA. Chinese patent publication No. CN108096583A discloses a nanoparticle carrier, which can contain chemotherapeutic drugs and also can be loaded with siRNA with breast cancer therapeutic effect. These patents are all inventions in the aspect of siRNA vector, but the technical scheme has a common feature that the vector and siRNA are pre-assembled in vitro and then introduced into the host. In fact, most of the delivery technologies designed today are so. However, such delivery systems have a common problem in that these artificially synthesized exogenous delivery systems are easily cleared by the host's circulatory system, may elicit an immunogenic response, and may even be toxic to specific cell types and tissues.
The research team of the present invention finds that endogenous cells can selectively encapsulate miRNAs into exosomes (exosomes) which can deliver miRNAs into recipient cells, and the secreted miRNAs can powerfully block the expression of target genes at relatively low concentrations. Exosomes are biocompatible with the host immune system and have the innate ability to protect and transport miRNA across biological barriers in vivo, thus becoming a potential solution to overcome problems associated with siRNA delivery. For example, chinese patent publication No. CN110699382A discloses a method for preparing exosomes for delivering siRNA, and discloses a technique for isolating exosomes from plasma and encapsulating siRNA into exosomes by electroporation.
However, such technologies for in vitro separation or preparation of exosomes usually require a large amount of exosomes obtained by cell culture, and a step of sirna encapsulation, which causes the clinical cost of large-scale application of the product to be very high and cannot be borne by general patients; more importantly, the complex production/purification process of exosomes makes it almost impossible to comply with GMP standards.
The drug taking exosome as an active ingredient has not been approved by CFDA so far, and the core problem is that the consistency of exosome products cannot be ensured, and the problem directly results in that the products cannot obtain the drug production license. If this problem can be solved, it would be of no great significance to driving RNAi therapy for pulmonary fibrosis.
Therefore, the development of a safe, accurate and efficient siRNA delivery system is a crucial link for improving the RNAi therapeutic effect of pulmonary fibrosis and promoting RN Ai therapy.

Masson staining gives collagen fibers a blue (stained by aniline blue) or green (stained by brilliant green) color and muscle fibers a red (stained by acid fuchsin and ponceau red) color, depending on the size of the anionic dye molecules and the permeability of the tissue. Fixed tissue is stained with a series of anionic water-soluble dyes, either sequentially or in combination, and it is found that red blood cells are stained with the smallest anionic dye, muscle fibers and cytoplasm are stained with the medium-sized anionic dye, and collagen fibers are stained with the larger anionic dye. This demonstrates that the permeability of erythrocytes to anionic dyes is minimal, the muscle fibers are inferior to the cytoplasm, and collagen fibers have the greatest permeability. Type I and type III collagens are green (GBM, TBM, mesangial matrix and renal interstitium are green), and the eosinophilic proteins, tubule cytoplasm, and erythrocytes are red.
The Masson staining method specifically comprises the following steps:
fixing the tissue in Bouin's fluid, flushing with running water for one night, and conventionally dehydrating and embedding; slicing and dewaxing to water (dewaxing in xylene for 10min × 3 times, sucking liquid with absorbent paper, sucking liquid with 100% ethanol for 5min × 2 times, sucking liquid with absorbent paper, sucking liquid with 95% ethanol for 5min × 2 times, sucking liquid with absorbent paper, flowing water for 2min, sucking water with absorbent paper); weiger's ferrohematoxylin staining for 5-10min; slightly washing with running water; differentiating with 0.5% hydrochloric acid alcohol for 15s; flushing with running water for 3min; dyeing the ponceau acid fuchsin liquid for 8min; slightly washing with distilled water; treating with 1% phosphomolybdic acid water solution for about 5min; directly re-dyeing with aniline blue solution or brilliant green solution for 5min without washing with water; treating with 1% glacial acetic acid for 1min; dehydrating with 95% ethanol for 5min × 2 times, and drying with absorbent paper; 100% ethanol for 5min × 2 times, and drying the liquid with absorbent paper; transparent in xylene for 5min × 2 times, and sucking the liquid with absorbent paper; and (5) sealing the neutral gum.
The detection of siRNA level, protein content and mRNA content in the invention is realized by injecting RNA delivery system into mouse body to establish mouse stem cell in vitro model. mRNA and siRNA expression levels in cells and tissues were examined by qRT-PCR. The absolute quantification of siRNA was determined by plotting a standard curve against the standard. The expression amount of each siRNA or mRNA relative to the internal reference can be expressed by 2- Δ CT, where Δ CT = C sample-C internal reference. The internal reference gene is U6 snRNA (in tissues) or miR-16 (in serum and exosomes) molecules when siRNA is amplified, and the time base of mRNA is GAPDH or 18s RNA. And detecting the expression level of the protein in the cells and tissues by using a Western blotting experiment, and carrying out protein quantitative analysis by using ImageJ software.

The RNA fragments described above comprise 1, two or more specific RNA sequences of medical interest, which are capable of being expressed in the target receptor and the complementing sequences are not capable of being expressed in the target receptor. The RNA sequence can be an siRNA sequence, an shRNA sequence or an miRNA sequence, and is preferably an siRNA sequence.
An RNA sequence is 15-25 nucleotides (nt), preferably 18-22nt, such as 18nt, 19nt, 20nt, 21nt, 22 nt. The range of the sequence length is not arbitrarily selected, but determined by trial and error. A large number of experiments prove that under the condition that the length of the RNA sequence is less than 18nt, particularly less than 15nt, the RNA sequence is mostly ineffective and can not play a role, and under the condition that the length of the RNA sequence is more than 22nt, particularly more than 25nt, the cost of a line is greatly improved, the effect is not better than that of the RNA sequence with the length of 18-22nt, and the economic benefit is poor. Therefore, when the length of the RNA sequence is 15 to 25nt, particularly 18 to 22nt, both cost and action can be achieved, and the effect is the best.
When the length of the RNA sequence is 18, 20 and 21 respectively, the constructed delivery system also has the treatment effects of in vivo enrichment, self-assembly and pulmonary fibrosis, as shown in figure 12, and the specific sequence is shown in table 5.

The RNA capable of treating pulmonary fibrosis is selected from any one or more of the following RNAs: an antisense strand of miRNA-21, an siRNA of TGF-. Beta.1 gene, or a nucleic acid molecule encoding the above RNA.
The siRNA of the TGF-beta 1 gene comprises ACGGAAAUAACCUAGAGUGGGC, UGAACUUGUCAUAGAUUUCGUCU, UUGAACAUAUAUAUAUGCUG, UCUAACUACAGUAGUGUUCCCC, UCUCUCAGACUCUGGGGCCUCAG, other sequences which can inhibit the expression of the TGF-beta 1 gene and sequences with homology of more than 80 percent with the sequences.
The antisense chain of miRNA-21 is 5 'and TCAACATCAGTCTGATAAGCTA-3'.
The gene circuit has the in vivo enrichment, self-assembly and pulmonary fibrosis treatment effects under the condition that the gene circuit comprises an miRNA-21 antisense chain and the 5 TGF-beta 1 gene siRNAs (siRNA-1, siRNA-2, siRNA-3, siRNA-4 and siRNA-5), as shown in figure 13.
The number of RNA effective sequences capable of treating pulmonary fibrosis is 1, 2 or more. For example, the siRNA of the miRNA-21 antisense strand or the TGF-beta 1 gene alone may be used on the same viral vector, or the siRNA of the miRNA-21 antisense strand and the TGF-beta 1 gene may be used in combination on the same viral vector.
Taking the combined use of "siRNA1" and "siRNA2" on the same viral vector as an example, the functional structural region of the viral vector can be represented as: (promoter-siRNA 1) -linker- (promoter-siRNA 2) -linker- (promoter-targeting tag), or (promoter-targeting tag-siRNA 1) -linker- (promoter-targeting tag-siRNA 2), or (promoter-siRNA 1) -linker- (promoter-targeting tag-siRNA 2), etc.
More specifically, the functional domains of the viral vector can be represented as: (5 ' -promoter-5 ' flanking sequence-siRNA 1-loop sequence-compensating sequence-3 ' flanking sequence) -linking sequence- (5 ' -promoter-5 ' flanking sequence-siRNA 2-loop sequence-compensating sequence-3 ' flanking sequence) -linking sequence- (5 ' -promoter-targeting tag) -5' flanking sequence-siRNA 1-loop sequence-compensating sequence-3 ' flanking sequence) -linking sequence- (5 ' -promoter-targeting tag-5 ' flanking sequence-siRNA 2-loop sequence-compensating sequence-3 ' flanking sequence), or (5 ' -promoter-5 ' flanking sequence-siRNA 1-loop sequence-compensating sequence-3 ' flanking sequence) -linking sequence- (5 ' -promoter-targeting tag-5 ' flanking sequence-siRNA 2-loop sequence-compensating sequence-3 ' flanking sequence), (5 ' -promoter-targeting tag-5 ' flanking sequence-1-siRNA 2-loop sequence-compensating sequence-3 ' flanking sequence), etc. In other cases, the same can be analogized, and the description is omitted here. The above linker sequence may be "sequence 1-sequence 2-sequence 3" or "sequence 4", and a bracket indicates a complete line (circuit).
Preferably, the RNA may be obtained by modifying RNA sequences (siRNA, shRNA, or miRNA) thereof with ribose, preferably 2' fluoropyrimidine. The 2 '-fluoropyrimidine modification is to replace 2' -OH of pyrimidine nucleotide on siRNA, shRNA or miRNA with 2'-F, wherein the 2' -F can make RNA enzyme in human body not easily recognize the siRNA, shRNA or miRNA, so that the stability of RNA in vivo transmission can be increased.
Specifically, the liver phagocytoses exogenous viruses, up to 99% of the exogenous viruses enter the liver, so that when the viruses are used as vectors, the viruses can be enriched in liver tissues without specific design, then the viral vectors are opened to release RNA molecules (siRNA, shRNA or miRNA), the liver tissues spontaneously wrap the RNA molecules into exosomes, and the exosomes become RNA delivery mechanisms.
Preferably, in order to make the RNA delivery mechanism (exosome) have the ability of "precise targeting", we design a targeting tag in the viral vector injected into the body, and the targeting tag will also be assembled into the exosome by the liver tissue, especially when selecting some specific targeting tags, the targeting tag can be inserted into the exosome surface, thereby becoming a targeting structure capable of guiding exosome, which greatly improves the accuracy of the RNA delivery mechanism of the present invention, on one hand, the amount of the viral vector to be introduced can be greatly reduced, and on the other hand, the efficiency of potential drug delivery can be greatly improved.
The targeting label is selected from one of peptides, proteins or antibodies with targeting functions, the selection of the targeting label is a process requiring creative labor, on one hand, an available targeting label needs to be selected according to target tissues, and on the other hand, the targeting label is ensured to be stably present on the surface of exosomes, so that the targeting function is achieved. Targeting tags that have been selected so far include: targeting peptides, targeting proteins, antibodies. Wherein, the targeting peptide includes but is not limited to RVG targeting peptide (the nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID No: 1), GE11 targeting peptide (the nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID No: 2), PTP targeting peptide (the nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID No: 3), TCP-1 targeting peptide (the nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID No: 4), MSP targeting peptide (the nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID No: 5); the target protein includes, but is not limited to, RVG-LAMP2B fusion protein (nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID No: 6), GE11-LAMP2B fusion protein (nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID No: 7), PTP-LAMP2B fusion protein (nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID No: 8), TCP-1-LAMP2B fusion protein (nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID No: 9), MSP-LAMP2B fusion protein (nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID No: 10).
Furthermore, for the purpose of precise delivery, we tested various viral vector loading schemes, and developed another optimized scheme: the viral vector may also be composed of multiple viruses with different structures, one virus containing a promoter and a targeting tag, and the other virus containing a promoter and an RNA fragment. The targeting effect of the two viral vectors is not inferior to that generated by loading the same targeting tag and RNA segment in one viral vector.
More preferably, when two different viral vectors are injected into a host, the viral vector with the RNA sequence can be injected first, and then the viral vector containing the targeting tag is injected after 1-2 hours, so that a better targeting effect can be achieved.
The delivery systems described above may be used in mammals including humans.
