Description

Cationic polyester and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of nucleic acid delivery materials, in particular to cationic polyester, a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Gene therapy based on nucleic acid drug delivery is believed to lead to the third industrial revolution of biopharmaceuticals. Compared with other technologies such as DNA or virus vectors, the mRNA technology has the advantages of high efficiency, high safety, shorter production period, lower production cost and the like. mRNA technology has been well-known in the field of new crown vaccines, and is expected to bring new methods for various fields such as cancer and immune diseases. However, the application of this technology has been limited due to instability of mRNA molecules, low in vivo delivery efficiency, and the like. To achieve widespread use of mRNA technology, a suitable delivery vehicle is required to deliver it into the body to have a practical effect. The delivery technology that is currently commercially successful is mainly the Lipid Nanoparticle (LNP) technology based on ionizable cationic lipids used by companies such as Moderna and Biotech. Although LNP has been widely used for new coronal vaccines; however, the relatively low efficiency and significant side effects of LNP have the disadvantage of greatly limiting their range of application. How to develop new efficient and non-toxic delivery systems remains a bottleneck to inhibit the development of mRNA technology.
A biodegradable cationic polyester useful for DNA and mRNA delivery and a method for its preparation have previously been reported at the university of us. The preparation method is based on in-vitro synthesis biology technology, and the linear polymer is obtained by catalyzing polymerization of 3 monomers through immobilized lipase, and can be directly used or subjected to terminal group modification, so that the biodegradable cationic polyester for delivering DNA and mRNA can be obtained. Cationic polyesters at the university of Yersinia have higher transfection efficiency and lower toxicity compared to commercial reagents. However, the cationic polyester is still not efficient enough to be transfected and needs to be dissolved with a toxic organic solvent, making it difficult to be used in practical clinic.
Thus, it remains a major and difficult task in the art to develop nucleic acid delivery materials that are more efficient, non-toxic or less toxic to transfection.

Detailed Description
The existing commercial gene delivery materials have insufficient transfection efficiency and high toxicity, and greatly limit the wide application of gene therapy based on nucleic acid drug delivery. Although researches report that based on the in vitro synthesis biology technology, the biodegradable linear polymer obtained by catalyzing the polymerization of P, S, M three monomers by immobilized lipase has higher transfection efficiency and lower cytotoxicity; however, the transfection efficiency of the linear polymer is still not ideal, and the prepared gene delivery material is difficult to be used in practical clinic because it needs to be dissolved with a toxic organic solvent.
The application creatively adds a new monomer T on the basis of original three monomer polymerization, or replaces monomer M with monomer T, thereby preparing the novel cationic polyester with hyperbranched structure. Specifically, the cationic polyester is a hyperbranched polymer formed by polymerizing a monomer P, a monomer S and a monomer M or two monomers P and S with a monomer T, and the end group of the hyperbranched polymer is modified by a group E; monomer P is cyclic lactone; the monomer S is an organic acid with two or more carboxyl groups at the end group; the monomer M is a compound with two hydroxyl groups at the end group and one secondary amine or tertiary amine; the monomer T is a compound containing three or more hydroxyl groups; the end group modifying compound E which provides modification of the group E is a compound containing at least one primary, secondary or tertiary amine group.
The cationic polyester provided by the application has the advantages that the gene transfection efficiency is obviously improved, the cationic polyester is obviously superior to the original linear polymer and the existing optimal commercial mRNA transfection reagent, and the cytotoxicity is lower. More importantly, the cationic polyester disclosed by the application is soluble in ethanol, does not need to be dissolved by a toxic organic solvent, is easy to be amplified industrially, can better meet clinical use requirements, and has great practical application prospects.
The application is further illustrated by the following examples. The following examples are merely illustrative of the present application and should not be construed as limiting the application.
The technical means used in the examples are conventional means well known to those skilled in the art unless otherwise indicated.
Examples
1. Synthesis of hyperbranched Polymer (HBPA) and modification of end group E (HBPA-E)
(1) HBPA synthesis
In the embodiment, a hyperbranched polymer (HBPA) formed by polymerizing P, S, M and T four monomers is adopted, and then the end group E of the HBPA is modified to obtain HBPA-E. Specifically, monomer P of this example adopts cyclopentadecanolide (PDL), monomer S adopts Sebacic Acid (SA), monomer M adopts Methyldiethanolamine (MDEA), monomer T adopts Triethanolamine (TEA), HBPA synthetic route is shown in (a) of FIG. 1, seven experiments and two controls are designed, raw materials are added into a round-bottom flask according to the feeding mole ratio of four monomers P (PDL)/S (SA)/M (MDEA)/T (TEA) in Table 1, immobilized lipase (CALB) is added according to 10wt% of the total raw material mass, and diphenyl ether of 200wt% of raw material is finally added. After 3 times replacement of the reaction system with argon, the reaction was continued for 48 hours at a pressure of 2.1mbar with stirring and heating to 90℃for 24 hours. After the completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was filtered to remove lipase. Adding n-hexane into the filtrate, vortex and centrifugate, pouring out supernatant, adding dichloromethane into the precipitate to dissolve, adding n-hexane to separate out, centrifugate, and pouring out supernatant. The above operation was repeated 3 times. The precipitate was dried in vacuo for one day to give HBPA. Wherein the two control synthetic polymers are the linear polymers PACA.
TABLE 1 characterization of polymers synthesized with different feed ratios and their modified E14 products
In Table 1, "a" is calculated from 1H-NMR results, and "b" is calculated from GPC results.
(2) Modification of the terminal group E
This example uses end group modification compound E14 as shown in Table 1, and uses two different end group modification methods, namely N, N' -Carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) and Diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC) as coupling agents, respectively, to carry out end group modification of the polymer.
The modification method comprises the following steps: using CDI as the coupling agent, the synthetic route was as shown in FIG. 1 (b), 250mg of HBPA was dissolved in 5mL of extra dry Dichloromethane (DCM) and 40eq of CDI was added with stirring. After the reaction system was replaced with argon 3 times, it was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction solution was concentrated to 3mL, 3 volumes of diethyl ether were added, and the mixture was vortexed and centrifuged to remove the precipitate. The supernatant was dried under reduced pressure, dissolved in extra dry DCM, and 40eq of E14 was added under stirring and reacted at room temperature for 24 hours. After the reaction, adding equal volume of deionized water into the reaction solution, and removing the upper water phase after vortex and centrifugal delamination. And adding the deionized water with the same volume, and repeating the operation for 5 times. To the lower dichloromethane solution was added 3 volumes of n-hexane, and the mixture was vortexed and centrifuged. The precipitate was dried in vacuo for one day to give HBPA-E14. PACA-E14 was obtained for control 1.
And a modification method II: using DIC as the coupling agent, the synthetic route was as shown in FIG. 1 (c), 250mg of HBPA was dissolved in 5mL of ultra-dry DCM, and 40eq of DIC and 40eq of E14 were added with stirring. After the reaction system was replaced with argon 3 times, it was stirred at room temperature overnight. After the reaction, adding equal volume of deionized water into the reaction solution, and removing the upper water phase by vortex and centrifugation. And adding the deionized water with the same volume, and repeating the operation for 3 times. Then adding 3 times of n-hexane into the dichloromethane at the lower layer, and swirling and centrifuging. The precipitate was washed with a small amount of ethanol and dried in vacuo for one additional day to give HBPA-E14, e.g., HBPA-E14-3-DIC as prepared in run 4. PACA-E14-DIC was obtained for control 2.
Using a method similar to that of test 3, this example further uses 25 end group modification compounds from E1 to E26 in addition to E14 to end group modify HBPA to synthesize other HBPA-E.
The 26 end group modifying compounds of E1 to E26 were as follows:
2. structural characterization of HBPA and HBPA-E
HBPA and HBPA-E can be characterized in terms of their molecular structure by 1H-NMR. The results are shown in Table 1, and the partial results are shown in FIG. 2. FIG. 2 shows the spectra of HBPA of test 2 before and after the end group modification, i.e., the 1H-NMR spectra of HBPA-3 and HBPA-E14-3, respectively, with CDCl as solvent 3 . In the spectrogram, the characteristic peak of the PDL unit is f (delta)About 4.08 ppm), the characteristic peak of SA unit is b (delta about 1.60 ppm), the characteristic peak of MDEA unit is g (delta about 4.20 ppm), and the characteristic peak of TEA unit is h (delta about 2.85 ppm). The presence of TEA units indicates that the polymer structure is in accordance with the expected assumption, that hyperbranched structures may be present, and that the characteristic peak k (delta. Apprxeq.2.22 ppm) may prove that the end groups have successfully modified the group E. The proportion of each repeating unit of the polymer can be obtained by calculating the integral area of each characteristic peak, and the result shows that the molar ratio of the P/S/M/T repeating units of the HBPA-E14-3 obtained by CDI modification is 1:9:4.5:1.9 and the feeding ratio of the P/S/M/T repeating units is 1:9:6:2 is very close. This means that the reaction of the monomer raw materials is substantially complete and the reaction efficiency is very high. The other 1H-NMR results are shown in Table 1. The results show that even with increasing feed T, the enzyme catalyzed reaction is nearly complete and the reaction can be very controlled to give hyperbranched polymers without cross-linking.
Experiments show that the reduction of the monomer M has less influence on the hyperbranched polymer; therefore, this example further investigated the case of reducing the ratio of monomer M to 0, i.e. directly using monomer P, monomer S and monomer T for the polymerization, in particular the feed molar ratio P: S: t=1:9:6, the remaining steps and parameters being identical to "(1) HBPA synthesis". The results show that the P, S and T monomers are also capable of obtaining polymers with hyperbranched structures without producing cross-links. P, S and T have similar physicochemical properties to the hyperbranched polymers obtained with P, S, M and T.
Meanwhile, the molecular weight and distribution of HBPA-E were characterized by GPC. GPC measurements were performed using a Waters 1515 column and 2414 Refractive Index (RI) detector at 35 ℃. The mobile phase was DMF containing 0.1% LiBr at a flow rate of 1mL/min, and a linear polymethyl methacrylate standard was used as standard. The results are shown in Table 1, and the partial results are shown in FIG. 3. FIG. 3 is a GPC chart of HBPA-E14-1 of test 3 and PACA-E14 of control 1, respectively. The results of FIG. 3 show that both the GPC patterns of hyperbranched HBPA-E14-1 and linear PACA-E14 are unimodal, number average molecular weight M n 8296 and 8769Da, respectively, and PDI of 4.12 and 1.97, respectively. The molecular weight of the two are close, but the PDI is differentObvious. This suggests that there is a significant structural difference between HBPA-E14-1 and PACA-E14, which should be due to the branched structure of HBPA. The PDI of the other HBPA-E14 is shown in Table 1 and is similar to that of HBPA-E14-1.
In addition, in this example, HBPA-E14 and PACA-E14 prepared in Table 1 were dissolved in ethanol and tested for solubility. The results are shown in Table 1. The results in Table 1 show that the branched HBPA-E of this example are all very soluble in ethanol, with a solubility of more than 25mg/mL, whereas the linear PACA-E is poorly soluble in ethanol, with a solubility of less than 10mg/mL.
Finally, the number average molecular weight similar HBPA-E14 (mn=8769) and PACA-E14 (mn=8296) end group modified E14 content were quantified by ninhydrin method in this example. The specific method comprises the following steps: 1. preparing an ninhydrin color former: 200mg of ninhydrin is weighed, dissolved in 9mL of ethanol, and ethanol is added to a volume of 10mL to prepare a 20mg/mL ninhydrin ethanol solution. 2. Sample measurement: about 10mg of HBPA-E14 and PACA-E14 are taken respectively to prepare 5mg/mL ethanol solutions, 100 mu L of each ethanol solution is mixed uniformly with 200 mu L of ninhydrin ethanol solution respectively, the mixture is placed on a shaking table, heated and oscillated at 60 ℃ for 10min, cooled to room temperature, 200 mu L of each ethanol solution is taken to measure the absorbance value at 570nm, and the absorbance value is converted into the relative concentration of end group E14. As a result, as shown in FIG. 4, the relative concentration of end group E14 in PACA-E14 was 1, while at the same material concentration, the relative concentration of end group E14 of HBPA-E14-1 was 3.01, indicating that the end group E14 content was approximately 3 times that of PACA-E14. Considering that the molecular weights of the two are very close, the significantly higher end group content of HBPA-E14-1 than PACA-E14 should be due to its branched structure, which again verifies the branched structure of HBPA.
3. Characterization of materials and mRNA complexes
After the preparation of the polymeric material HBPA-E14-2, it was mixed with Firefly Luciferase mRNA (N1-Me-pseudoUTP, nanjinouzan Biotechnology Co., ltd.) in different mass ratios and the diameter of its complex was determined, while also using the complex of PACA-E14 and mRNA as a control. Specifically, the polymer materials HBPA-E14-2 and PACA-E14 are respectively dissolved in ethanol and DMSO to prepare 25mg/mL polymer solutions, and then different amounts of the polymer solutions are added into a certain volume of NaAc buffer solution with pH of 4.9, and vortex shaking is performed. Simultaneously preparing NaAc solution with pH of 4.9 containing 20 mug/mL mRNA, adding an equal volume of polymer solution into the mRNA solution, and vortex mixing to finally obtain compound solutions with the mass ratio of the polymer to the mRNA of 25:1, 50:1, 75:1, 100:1, 150:1 and 200:1 respectively. The above mass ratios of HBPA-E14-2 and PACA-E14 were used as control tests, respectively. The amount of HBPA-E14-2 and PACA-E14 is calculated according to the mass ratio, for example, the mass ratio of the polymer to the mRNA is 25:1, then 20 mu L of 25mg/mL polymer solution, namely 500 mu g polymer is added into 980 mu L NaAc buffer solution with pH of 4.9, and vortex oscillation is carried out; simultaneously preparing NaAc solution with pH of 4.9 containing 20 mug/mL mRNA, adding an equal volume of polymer solution into the mRNA solution, and vortex mixing to obtain the mass ratio of the polymer to the mRNA of 25:1.
The composite particle size was tested by a particle sizer (Malvern Panalytical Zetasizer Pro) at 25 ℃. As a result, FIG. 5 shows that the abscissa of FIG. 5 shows the mass ratio of polymer to mRNA, and the ordinate shows the particle size of the complex in nm.
The results in FIG. 5 show that the HBPA-E14-2/mRNA complex is over 300nm in diameter at a mass ratio of 25:1, while the diameter is significantly reduced and gradually stabilizes at a mass ratio of 50:1-200:1, both 100-200nm. This suggests that the recombination of HBPA-E14-2 and mRNA tends to stabilize at mass ratios greater than 50:1. PACA-E14 and mRNA also showed similar results.
4. mRNA and DNA transfection efficiency test of HBPA-E in vitro cells
After obtaining a complex of HBPA-E and luciferase-expressing mRNA or DNA (Firefly Luciferase DNA, guangzhou Ai Ji Biotechnology Co., ltd.), the transfection efficiency was tested in different cell models. The specific method for cell transfection is as follows: inoculating cells (ATCC) such as A549 and HEK293T into a 48-well cell culture plate (2.5X10) 4 Well), cells at 37℃and containing 5% CO 2 After 12h of adherence in DMEM, the DMEM medium (250. Mu.L/well) was changed, and the samples to be tested and the positive control were added for 24h (mRNA) or 48h (DNA), respectively, and the samples were added as calculated from the final 2. Mu.g/mL mRNA per well. Preparation method of complex of material to be tested and mRNA or DNA is the same as "characterization of three, material and mRNA Complex" . The positive control for mRNA transfection was taken as Lipofectamine MessengerMAX (LipoMM) for Simeravid and Lipofectamine 2000 (Lipo 2 k) for DNA transfection.
The specific method for testing the lysis and luminous effect after cell transfection is as follows: cells were transfected for 24 hours (mRNA) or 48 hours (DNA) and medium in the well plate was aspirated, after which they were placed in a-80℃refrigerator for 10 minutes. Taking out the pore plate to place at 4 ℃, taking 40 mu L of lysate to a 48 pore plate, covering the bottom surface, standing for 5min, taking 280 mu L of test solution to the 48 pore plate, taking 160 mu L of mixture to a black enzyme-labeled instrument plate, and finally taking 40 mu L D-Luciferin by a gun and adding the mixture to each pore. After reacting for 2 minutes at normal temperature, placing the mixture into an enzyme-labeled instrument to test 560nm luminescence.
The results of the mRNA and DNA transfection efficiency tests of different HBPA-E in a549 and HEK293T cells are shown in fig. 6-9. The specific test designs are as follows:
in this example, the mRNA transfection efficiency in A549 and HEK293T cells, respectively, after the polymers of control 1, test 2, test 3, test 5, test 6 and test 7 were compounded with mRNA at a polymer to mRNA mass ratio of 75:1, respectively, was tested and the results are shown in FIG. 6.
The results of fig. 6 show that in a549 cells, all hyperbranched materials showed significantly higher mRNA transfection effect than the commercial control LipoMM, and far higher than that of linear PACA-E14. Wherein the transfection efficiency of HBPA-E14-3 is highest and is close to 4 times of LipoMM. Whereas linear PACA-E14 is less effective than LipoMM. The transfection results of HEK293T cells were consistent with the a549 results. This demonstrates that hyperbranched polymers have a significantly improved cell transfection effect on mRNA compared to linear polymers and are also superior to the current most efficient commercial transfection reagents, which effect is also demonstrated on different cells. Considering that this hyperbranched polymer is also soluble in ethanol, it has great potential for use in both in vitro and in vivo mRNA transfection.
Simultaneously, the HBPA-E14-3 modified by CDI and DIC and the mRNA transfection efficiency thereof under different mass ratio conditions are also tested in the example, specifically, the example respectively tests the transfection efficiency of the polymer and the mRNA of the CDI modified HBPA-E14-3 in A549 after the polymer and the mRNA of the test 3 are respectively compounded according to the mass ratio of 25:1, 50:1, 75:1 and 100:1, and the transfection efficiency of the polymer and the mRNA of the DIC modified HBPA-E14-3-DIC in A549 after the polymer and the mRNA of the test 4 are respectively compounded according to the mass ratio of 25:1, 50:1, 75:1 and 100:1; the results are shown in FIG. 7.
The results in FIG. 7 show that on A549 cells, HBPA-E14-3 modified in two ways had significantly higher transfection efficiency than LipoMM at mass ratios between 50:1 and 100:1, except that CDI modified material was better than DIC modified material. And at a mass ratio of 25:1, transfection efficiency was not exhibited. These results demonstrate that both modification methods are possible. While mRNA is not yet sufficiently complexed at 25:1, mRNA is already complexed above 50:1, consistent with the results of the particle size of the complex tested by the particle sizer.
In addition, the DNA transfection efficiency of different HBPA-E in HEK 293T cells was also tested in this example, specifically, the polymers of control 1, test 2, test 3, test 5, test 6 and test 7 were respectively tested and compounded with DNA according to the polymer to DNA mass ratio of 75:1, and the results are shown in FIG. 8.
The results of FIG. 8 show that all hyperbranched materials showed significantly higher DNA transfection effect than the commercial control Lipo2k and far higher than that of linear PACA-E14, with the transfection efficiency of HBPA-E14-2 being highest. This illustrates that hyperbranched polymeric materials can also be used for DNA transfection.
Finally, this example also tested the mRNA transfection efficiency in A549 cells of HBPA-E modified by modifying the end groups of 26 different end group modification compounds, specifically, tested the mRNA transfection efficiency in A549 cells after the end group modification of 26 kinds of HBPA-E by the end group modification compounds E1 to E26 are respectively compounded with mRNA according to the mass ratio of polymer to mRNA of 75:1, and the result is shown in FIG. 9.
The results of FIG. 9 show that different end group modifications have an effect on mRNA transfection efficiency, with a variety of end group modified HBPA-E exhibiting significantly higher transfection efficiencies than LipoMM, such as E2, E4, E9, E10, E12, E14, E15, E25, E26, and the like. Except that the transfection efficiency of the E11, E13, E22, E23 and E24 modified polymers on mRNA is obviously lower than that of lipoMM, the transfection efficiency of the E8, E17, E18 and E21 modified polymers on mRNA is equivalent to that of lipoMM, and the transfection efficiency of the rest end group modified polymers on mRNA is higher than that of lipoMM.
5. Cytotoxicity test
This example tested the cytotoxicity of its HBPA-E/mRNA complexes in the A549 cell model. The cytotoxicity test is specifically carried out as follows: a549 cells were seeded in 96-well cell culture plates (1×10) 4 After 12h adherence, the DMEM culture medium is replaced, and the mRNA complexes of the sample PACA-E14, HBPA-E14-3 and the positive control lipoMM to be detected are respectively added for 24h culture, wherein the mass ratio of the PACA-E14 or HBPA-E14-3 to the mRNA is 50:1. Samples were added at final mRNA concentrations of 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 8. Mu.g/mL per well. After 24h, 10. Mu.L of CCK8 detection reagent was added to each well and the absorbance at 450nm was detected using a microplate reader. The results are shown in FIG. 10.
The results in fig. 10 show that the control LipoMM complex showed significant cytotoxicity, with only 50% cell viability at an mRNA concentration of 2 μg/mL, and with a significant increase in toxicity as the mRNA concentration was increased. In contrast, the toxicity of the linear PACA-E14 complex was significantly reduced, but also showed some cytotoxicity, which reached 70% cell viability at an mRNA concentration of 2. Mu.g/mL. Compared with the two, the toxicity of the hyperbranched HBPA-E14-3 complex is further reduced, and the cell survival rate is more than 80% at the mRNA concentration of 2 mug/mL. The result shows that the hyperbranched HBPA-E14-3 has higher biocompatibility and larger in vivo application prospect compared with commercial transfection reagents and linear PACA-E14.
6. Test of the effect of transfection of HBPA-E on mRNA in vivo
The effect of HBPA-E14-3 on mRNA transfection in vivo was tested in this example, and the specific method is as follows: c57 mice (weighing about 20 g) of 4-6 weeks old were purchased from medical laboratory animal center in Guangdong province, and monitored and raised at SPF (specific pathogen-free) environmental level. The HBPA-E14-3/mRNA complex was injected into mice by pulmonary administration (by insertion into the trachea with a pulmonary spray needle, 5. Mu.g dose) and intratracheal instillation administration (5. Mu.g dose), respectively, and the effect of luciferase expression in the mice was observed with physiological saline as a blank. The results are shown in FIG. 10. Wherein, in the HBPA-E14-3/mRNA complex, the mass ratio of the HBPA-E14-3 to the mRNA is 50:1.
In FIG. 11, the abscissa "Control" represents a blank, "pulmonary administration of mRNA (5. Mu.g)" represents pulmonary administration directly with mRNA, "pulmonary administration (5. Mu.g)" represents pulmonary administration with HBPA-E14-3/mRNA complex, "intratracheal instillation (5. Mu.g)" represents intratracheal instillation with HBPA-E14-3/mRNA complex.
The results of fig. 11 show that neither direct mRNA pulmonary administration nor the blank detected fluorescence, whereas the HBPA-E14-3/mRNA complex shows a significant luciferase expression effect from different routes of administration, where pulmonary administration is 2 times the delivery efficiency of intratracheal instillation. These results all indicate that the hyperbranched polymer/mRNA compound can realize mRNA delivery in vivo and has great application prospect in vivo.
The foregoing is a further detailed description of the application in connection with specific embodiments, and it is not intended that the application be limited to such description. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the spirit of the application.
