Background
The novel coronavirus is extremely easy to mutate, and the strains such as a novel coronavirus original strain, a novel coronavirus Alpha strain, a novel coronavirus Beta strain, a novel coronavirus Gamma mutant strain, a novel coronavirus Kappa strain, a novel coronavirus Delta strain, a novel coronavirus Omicron strain and the like appear successively from the discovery to date.
The current market and most of the new coronavirus vaccines in clinical trial stage are designed against the antigen of the original strain of the new coronavirus. The omickon (omacron) variant is at least 60 more mutations compared to the original new coronavirus original strain sequence, with more than 35 mutations in the spike protein (S protein) and 15 mutations in the most critical receptor binding domain within the spike protein (S protein), as opposed to only 2 mutations in this region. The omnikom variant can be divided into at least 5 sub variants, ba.1, ba.2.12.1, ba.2, ba.4, ba.5, etc., according to the difference in mutation sites.
It was found that the protective effect of the marketed vaccine against variants was reduced to varying degrees, in particular against the novel coronavirus omnikom strain. Therefore, new crown vaccines with better protection effect against variant strains are urgently needed to be developed.

Based on the embodiments in this disclosure, all other embodiments that a person of ordinary skill in the art would obtain without making any inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
It should be noted that: in the present disclosure, all embodiments and preferred methods of implementation mentioned herein may be combined with each other to form new solutions, if not specifically stated; all technical features and preferred features mentioned herein may be combined with each other to form new solutions; the components involved or their preferred components can be combined with one another to form new technical solutions.

After the novel coronavirus vaccine is used for immunizing an organism, the novel coronavirus vaccine can express the variable strain BA.5S protein of the Omica Rong Zi in the organism.
"nucleic acid molecule" as used in this disclosure refers to a polymeric form of nucleotides of any length, including ribonucleotides and/or deoxyribonucleotides. Examples of nucleic acids include, but are not limited to, single-stranded, double-stranded or multi-stranded DNA or RNA, genomic DNA, cDNA; integrating vector DNA from an exogenous gene, such as an expression cassette or plasmid; DNA-RNA hybrids or polymers comprising purine and pyrimidine bases or other natural, chemically or biochemically modified, non-natural or derivatized nucleotide bases.
In the novel coronavirus vaccine provided by the disclosure, the S protein of the novel coronavirus encoded by the open reading frame is optionally the S protein obtained by mutating an omnikow variant under natural conditions; alternatively, the mutant and modified S protein can be an amino acid sequence of S protein which is obtained by wild type mutation and modification and accords with the Omikou variant; alternatively, the amino acid sequence of the S protein may be obtained by further mutating and modifying the amino acid sequence of the S protein of the Omikovia mutant strain.

In one or more embodiments, the nucleic acid molecule can optimize mRNA sequence by means of sequence optimization, improving characteristics related to expression efficacy after in vivo administration: for example, mRNA with improved properties can be obtained by increasing mRNA stability, increasing translational efficiency in the target tissue, reducing the number of truncated proteins expressed, improving folding or preventing misfolding of the expressed protein, reducing toxicity of the expressed product, reducing cell death caused by the expressed product, increasing and/or reducing protein aggregation. The sequence optimization purposes also include: optimizing the characteristics of formulation and delivery of nucleic acid-based therapeutics while maintaining structural and functional integrity; overcoming the threshold of expression; the expression rate is improved; half-life and/or protein concentration; optimizing protein localization; and avoiding adverse biological responses such as immune responses and/or degradation pathways. The sequence optimizing means includes: (1) Codon optimization to ensure proper folding and proper expression is performed according to codon frequency in a particular organ and/or host organism; (2) Regulating the G/C content to increase mRNA stability or decrease secondary structure; (3) Minimizing tandem repeat codons or base strings (base run) that may impair gene construction or expression; (4) custom transcription and translation control regions; (5) Reducing or eliminating problematic secondary structures within the polynucleotide.

The technical solution and advantageous effects of the present disclosure are further described below in conjunction with the preferred embodiments.
Example 1
The present example provides a method for preparing lipid nanoparticles comprising RNA, wherein the lipid nanoparticles comprise in mole percent: dlin-MC3-DMA 50%, DOPG 20%, cholesterol 29% and PEG-DMG 1%, and the preparation method is as follows:
(a) RNA was dissolved in citrate buffer at pH4 to adjust the concentration to 0.1. 0.1 mg/ml, to give an aqueous phase. (b) Dlin-MC3-DMA, DOPG, cholesterol and PEG-DMG were dissolved in absolute ethanol in the amounts of the formulation, and the concentration of the lipid component in the organic phase was adjusted to 6 mg/mL to give an organic phase.
(c) Mixing the aqueous phase of step (a) and the organic phase of step (b) at a volume ratio of 1:3 using a microfluidic device at a flow rate of 12 mL/min, immediately diluting the mixture 100-fold with PBS solution at pH7.4, removing ethanol component from the solution using Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF), and concentrating to a mRNA concentration of 55 μg/ml in the system to obtain lipid nanoparticles comprising RNA encoding SARS-CoV-2 virus antigen.
Example 2
The formulation of different vaccine vectors was studied by in vivo fluorescence imaging techniques using luciferase as a reporter gene (as shown in the following table, "MC3" means Dlin-MC3-DMA, "+" is the efficiency of delivering mRNA encoding luciferase gene in mice by in vivo fluorescence imaging system of small animals after administration) and the physicochemical index of different complex formulations (preparation method see example 1) was examined, and the results are shown in the table.
TABLE 1
It is found that increasing the mass ratio of lipid to mRNA is beneficial to increasing the encapsulation rate of mRNA in lipid nanoparticles, so that the lipid nanoparticles have higher stability, and moreover, moderately increasing the content of polyethylene glycol (PEG) in the formula is beneficial to increasing the expression efficiency of mRNA in vivo. Therefore, the factors such as the mRNA encapsulation efficiency, the in-vivo delivery efficiency of mRNA and the like are comprehensively considered, and formulas 3 and 4 are selected for the subsequent research of mRNA vaccines.
Example 3
The capacity of the cationic lipid nanoparticles of different formulations to encapsulate the mRNA encoding the full length of the S protein and the particle size data of the formed nanoparticles are shown in Table 2, and several formulations can compress the S protein mRNA into nanoparticles with a particle size below 100nm and a net neutral surface potential, and can encapsulate at least 50% of the mRNA, so that the cationic lipid nanoparticles have a certain in vivo delivery effect. "MC3" refers to Dlin-MC3-DMA.
TABLE 2
Example 4
Screening of Omicron subtype strain S protein:
this example designed a series of mRNA sequence information in which the sequence of the open reading frames is shown in table 3; in addition to the open reading frame sequence, the series of mRNA sequence features also include a 5 'cap (m 7G (5') (2 '-OMeA) pG), a 5' UTR (as shown in SEQ ID. NO. 1), a 3'UTR (as shown in SEQ ID. NO. 2), and the 3' tail of 100 polyAs (as shown in SEQ ID. NO. 3).
TABLE 3 mRNA sequence design scheme
Preparing four different antigens in samples 1-4 into vaccines according to the method of the embodiment 1, respectively preparing different mRNA mixtures into LNP preparations, wherein the LNP preparations have the detection encapsulation rate of more than 90% and the particle size of about 70 nm; sample 5 is shown as a blank (placebo).
The prepared mRNA LNP formulation was used in C57 mice immunization experiments, each mouse being injected 5 micrograms (in mRNA) via hind limb lateral thigh muscle, and two immunizations were performed after 7 days apart, 3 mice per group. Mice were serum withdrawn 14 days after the first immunization and sent to third party laboratories for the neutralization activity test of SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus. Diluting mouse serum according to different proportions (initial dilution multiple is 30) in a 96-well plate, adding SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus which can be infected, setting cell contrast and virus contrast, incubating for 1 hour, adding cells prepared in advance, culturing for 20-28 hours in a cell incubator, absorbing a part of supernatant, adding a luciferase detection reagent, repeatedly blowing and sucking cells in the well after light-shielding reaction at room temperature, and placing the cells in a chemiluminescent detector for reading a luminous value after the cells are fully lysed. And on the premise of ensuring that the virus control and the cell control are established, calculating an EC50 value by adopting a Reed-Muench method. EC50 values for pseudovirus strains of different antigens prepared from samples 1-4 are shown in figure 1.
As can be seen from the results of fig. 1: in the vaccine preparation prepared by the mRNA vaccine open reading frame encoding different S proteins (the amino acid sequences are shown as SEQ ID.NO.4, SEQ ID.NO.6, SEQ ID.NO.8 and SEQ ID.NO. 16), the mRNA vaccine encoding the S protein with the amino acid sequence shown as SEQ ID.NO.16 (the encoding amino acid is the S protein of the novel coronavirus Omicron BA.5 strain) stimulates mice to generate less neutralizing antibody activity reduction on pseudoviruses of various child variants of the novel coronavirus Omicron.

this example shows a series of mRNA sequences designed based on the novel coronavirus Omacron strain S protein (amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID. NO. 16) and mRNA sequence optimization principle, wherein the open reading frame information is shown in Table 4 below.
In addition to the open reading frames of Table 4, the series of mRNA sequence features included a 5 'cap (m 7G (5') (2 '-OMeA) pG), a 5' UTR (as shown in SEQ ID. NO. 1), a 3'UTR (as shown in SEQ ID. NO. 2) and the 3' tail of 100 polyAs (as shown in SEQ ID. NO. 3).
TABLE 4 mRNA sequence design and relative expression levels
"local GC% content" in Table 4: GC% content in the partial sequence was 60bp as window size from the 3 'end to the 5' end of the ORF.
The mRNA shown in Table 4 was transfected into cells, and the expression of the S full-length protein in the cells was examined, and the results are shown in Table 4. The detailed method is as follows: HEK293 cells transfected with each mRNA for 24 hours were lysed, and the target protein was specifically detected by SDS-PAGE immunoblotting at a loading of 10. Mu.g of total protein, and in this example, incubation was performed using an anti-SARS-S1 protein antibody as primary antibody and a goat anti-mouse-HRP antibody as secondary antibody, respectively, followed by color development. When the protein expression amount detection result is analyzed, the internal reference beta-actin is used for standardization and quantification, meanwhile, cells which are not transfected with mRNA are set as negative controls, and the difference of the expressed protein amount of transfected cells of different mRNA is compared. The detection results show that the expression of the whole S protein and the S1 subunit can be detected. The expression levels of the respective sequences were measured in terms of relative OD values as shown in Table 4; the method for calculating the relative OD value comprises the following steps: sample OD/OD of sample 1.
As can be seen from table 4: when the GC% content of the total mRNA open reading frame sequence is 54-60%, the relative expression amount of S protein is higher when the local GC% content is not lower than 40% (see SEQ ID. NO.17 and 19); in addition, the expression level of the S protein with the mRNA open reading frame sequence of SEQ ID No.17 is higher than that of the mRNA open reading frame sequence of SEQ ID No. 19.
Two different antigens of samples 1 and 2 in example 5 are respectively prepared into vaccines according to the method in example 1, different mRNA mixtures are respectively prepared into LNP preparations, the LNP preparations have encapsulation rates of more than 90% after detection, and the particle size is about 70nm. The two groups of vaccine formulations obtained were used in C57 mouse immunization experiments, the experimental procedure being shown in example 4. The serum corresponds to the group number and the results are shown in figure 2.
As can be seen from fig. 2: since the expression level of the mRNA sequence SEQ ID.NO.17 is high, the neutralizing capacity of the antibody produced by the mRNA vaccine preparation prepared by the mRNA sequence SEQ ID.NO.17 is optimal.
