Description

mRNA for treating cancer and application thereof in preparing anticancer drugs
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of biological medicine, and in particular relates to mRNA for treating cancer and application thereof in preparing anticancer drugs.
Background
ecDNA was first discovered in 1964 when chromosomes of higher organisms were studied by Alix Bassel and Yasuo Hoota. Scientists have found that ecDNA is present in large amounts in many cancer types in humans, while the presence of ecDNA is hardly observed in normal tissues. Oncogene amplification is a common type of cancer mutation that can occur in homogeneously stained areas within the chromosome or extrachromosomally. The presence of extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) in nearly half of cancer types, compared to other local amplifications, amplification of ecDNA carrying oncogenes is closely related to a worse prognosis for cancer patients. Oncogene amplification is a means for cancer cell survival, and since ecDNA is necessary for maintaining oncogene expression, and elimination of ecDNA affects cancer cell survival, some cancer cells are ecDNA-philic, which makes ecDNA an important meaning as a therapeutic target for cancer. Reducing ecDNA in tumor cells would make a remarkable contribution to the field of cancer treatment.
mRNA drugs have received increasing attention over the last decade. The transmission and transcription mechanism of mRNA medicine can overcome the limitation of traditional medicine, and provides a new way for treating diseases dependent on protein expression. Through decades of research and development, mRNA drugs have had the following advantages: 1. safety, mRNA is neither infectious nor integrated into the genome, there is no potential risk of infection or causing genetic mutation, and antigenicity is weak, adverse reactions such as allergy are not likely to occur, mRNA can also be degraded by cells, and in vivo half-life can be regulated by using various modifications and delivery methods; 2. the mRNA has high curative effect, is the smallest genetic carrier, can be more stable through proper modification, and can be efficiently translated into protein; 3. the production is convenient, mRNA is mainly produced by in vitro transcription reaction, the cost is low, the yield is high, and the method has the potential of mass production; 4. flexibility unlike traditional drugs, mRNA drugs can easily change their sequence to accommodate different therapeutic needs. mRNA drugs need to be delivered to the cell interior via vectors in order to be transcribed and translated. Common vectors are divided into viral vectors and non-viral vectors. Among them, viral vectors, though highly efficient in delivery, have safety problems such as immunogenicity and toxicity, which limit their clinical applications. Non-viral vectors mainly include lipid-based delivery systems, polymer-based nanoparticles, and inorganic nanoparticles. Among them, lipid Nanoparticles (LNP) are one of the most widely used non-viral delivery systems for oligonucleotide drugs and mRNA drugs, and their advantages include easy production, biodegradability, ability to protect RNA molecules from RNase degradation and renal clearance, promotion of endocytosis, and inhibition of degradation of endosomes. In recent years, mRNA drugs have made tremendous progress in treating tumors. Compared with the traditional micromolecule chemical medicine, the mRNA medicine has the advantages of more accurate target point, higher specificity and selectivity, strong plasticity, low toxic and side effect, no permanent influence on DNA of patients and the like. By 3 months of 2023, more than 20 mRNA antitumor drugs enter clinical trials worldwide, and several mRNA drugs have been proved to be effective in inhibiting tumor growth and diffusion and also have a certain curative effect on metastatic cancers. Although mRNA for tumor treatment is not available in batches at present, a few medicines enter phase II clinic and the development trend is very rapid. In the future, tumor treatment based on mRNA technology will come to be a brand new development opportunity and will become an important direction for tumor treatment in the future.
