Description

Metal-polyphenol composite particles, and preparation method and application thereof
Cross Reference to Related Applications
The present invention claims 202210950180.4 to China patent office at 08 and 09 on 2022 entitled "Metal-polyphenol Complex particles, method for their preparation and use" priority of Chinese patent application, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of biological medicine, in particular to metal-polyphenol compound particles, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Nucleic acid drugs refer to functional DNA or RNA that specifically edits a pathogenic gene or protein by binding, cleavage, knockout, insertion, etc. The discovery of the nucleic acid not only breaks through the traditional thought that the nucleic acid only carries genetic information, but also provides a powerful molecular tool for biomedicine and biosensing.
The nucleic acid medicine has the defects of easy rapid degradation of nuclease in a subject, weak transmembrane capability, short half-life in blood circulation and the like, and severely limits the clinical application of the nucleic acid medicine. Therefore, a safe and effective nucleic acid drug delivery system is one of the hot spots for nucleic acid drug development. Currently, vectors capable of delivering nucleic acid drugs can be largely classified into viral vectors and non-viral vectors. Viral vectors (including adenovirus, retrovirus and lentivirus vectors) can cause immune response after entering the human body, and are used less recently; compared with small molecule conjugates directly conjugated with nucleic acid drugs, the nanoparticle can more effectively encapsulate the nucleic acid drugs, prevent the nucleic acid drugs from being rapidly degraded in vivo by nucleases, and prolong the in vivo circulation time of the nucleic acid drugs. The mechanism by which the nanoparticles encapsulate nucleic acids is by adsorption of negatively charged nucleic acids with positively charged cationic lipids.
Cationic liposomes are usually prepared by mixing cationic lipids with auxiliary lipids such as dioleoyl phosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE), cholesterol, etc. in a certain ratio. Cationic liposomes can be used to transport genes or drug molecules into target cells, however, cationic liposomes still contain some cytotoxicity during transfection and the like, and can produce some toxic effect on normal cells while carrying drugs to treat cancer cells, thus having some limitation on clinical application research. The cascade reaction caused by cationic liposome includes active oxygen generation, enzyme activation reaction, mitochondrial membrane potential change, apoptosis caused by cytochrome C and caspase release, etc.
Further, an ionizable lipid is one containing positively charged ionizable amine groups that are uncharged under physiological conditions (ph=7.4), but are protonated and positively charged at lower pH values. Thus, ionizable lipids may be used to replace partially or completely cationic lipids as the main component of the nanoparticle responsible for adsorbing nucleic acids. When the nanoparticle containing the ionizable lipid enters the biological cell lysosome, the ionizable lipid becomes a positively charged lipid in a low pH (ph=4.0-6.5) environment within the lysosome. Although ionizable lipids reduce the cytotoxic and highly inflammatory effects of some permanently positively charged cationic lipids, their cytotoxicity and immunogenicity remain high. Lipid nanoparticles (LipidNanoparticle, LNP) based on cationic lipids and/or ionizable lipids are currently available for clinical nanoparticle nucleic acid drug delivery systems, wherein cationic lipids and/or ionizable lipids are the main component of LNP, responsible for adsorbing nucleic acids, while cationic lipids and/or ionizable lipids mediated cytotoxicity and immunogenicity remain one of the important reasons for greater LNP toxicity.
Thus, when negatively charged drugs (e.g., nucleic acid drugs, protein drugs, polypeptide drugs, small molecule drugs, etc.) are delivered with delivery systems, nanoparticle delivery systems developed that rely on cationic lipids and/or ionizable lipids are not fundamentally capable of solving the toxicity problems of nanoparticle delivery systems, and there is an urgent need for a liposome delivery system that does not use cationic lipids and/or ionizable lipids, but is low in toxicity.
In view of this, the present invention has been made.

Phospholipids are the main components of the composition of biological membranes, and are divided into two main types, namely glycerophospholipids and sphingomyelins, and are respectively composed of glycerol and sphingosine. Phospholipids are amphiphilic molecules with a hydrophilic nitrogen or phosphorus-containing head at one end and a long hydrocarbon chain that is hydrophobic (oleophilic) at the other end. For this reason, the hydrophilic ends of phospholipid molecules are close to each other and the hydrophobic ends are close to each other, often forming a phospholipid bilayer, i.e. the structure of the cell membrane, together with other molecules such as proteins, glycolipids, cholesterol, etc.
In the present invention, the polyphenol molecular moiety in the metal-polyphenol complex is mainly derived from natural plant extracts, such as curcumin, and has a wide range of biological effects including antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. In addition, it is also an effective immunomodulator, which can regulate the activity of various immune cells such as T cells, B cells, macrophages, neutrophils, natural killer cells, dendritic cells and the like, promote the balance of immunity and strengthen the immunity of organisms. Based on the potential immunopotentiation, anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation and anti-sars-cov-2 effects of curcumin molecules, the curcumin is expected to become a potential auxiliary treatment means for resisting COVID-19. In addition, the curcumin molecules have extremely high safety, are listed in the catalogues of food additives and pharmaceutic adjuvants, and the safety is favorable for the clinical drug registration of the drug-lipid whole body, so that the time length of the clinical drug registration is shortened.
In the present invention, the coordination bond between the polyphenol molecule part and the metal ion part in the metal-polyphenol complex is broken under the condition of low pH (ph=5.0) such as lysosomes, and the metal ion is detached from the metal-polyphenol complex.
In the invention, the proportion of each component in the metal-polyphenol compound can be adjusted according to the structure of the specific metal-polyphenol compound component. The basis for the adjustable proportion of the delivery is as follows: since the hydroxyl groups of the polyphenol molecules are linked to the metal ions by coordination bonds, the addition ratio of the polyphenol molecules to the metal ions can be adjusted according to the number of binding sites contained in the polyphenol molecules as long as the polyphenol molecules contain a plurality of binding sites.
Metal-polyphenol composite particles (Metal-chelated polyphenol complex nanoparticles, MPNP)
The principle of loading nucleic acid with metal-polyphenol complex particles assembled from metal-polyphenol complexes is: the polyphenol molecules are linked to the metal ions by coordination bonds, forming a metal-polyphenol complex, the metal ions of which are linked to the nucleic acid by coordination bonds, thereby ensuring that the metal-polyphenol complex self-assembles with other components into MPNP while loading the nucleic acid into the nanoparticle.

The drug-lipid particles described herein typically include a drug (which is a negatively charged molecule that may be selected from the group consisting of a nucleic acid, a protein, a polypeptide, a small molecule, a nucleic acid analog, a protein analog, a polypeptide analog, a member of the group consisting of one or more combinations of mRNA, siRNA, loop RNA, microRNA, sgRNA, DNA, ecDNA, an artificial nucleic acid), a metal-polyphenol complex, a non-cationic lipid or a non-ionizable lipid, and a bilayer stabilizing component, such as a conjugated lipid that inhibits aggregation of particles. Furthermore, the nucleic acids encapsulated in the drug-lipid particles of the invention are resistant to degradation with nucleases in aqueous solution.
In some embodiments, the drug is sufficiently encapsulated within the metal-polyphenol complex particles to avoid degradation of the drug, enabling delivery of the drug into the cells.
In some embodiments, the drug-lipid particles provided herein have a small diameter suitable for systemic delivery, with a particle size of 30-400 nm; the surface potential is-10 mV; the stability is at least 3 days, preferably more than 7 days; the cell delivery efficiency is at least 40%, e.g., at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, or at least 95%.
In some embodiments, the drug of the drug-lipid particle is preferably a nucleic acid, the nucleic acid component typically comprises mRNA, interfering RNA (i.e., siRNA) that can be provided in several forms including, for example, one or more isolated small-interfering RNA (siRNA) duplex, longer double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) or siRNA or dsRNA translated from a transcription cassette in a DNA plasmid.
The RNA population can be used to provide long precursor RNAs, or long precursor RNAs that have substantial or complete identity to a selected target sequence that can be used to make the siRNA. The RNAs may be isolated, synthesized, and/or cloned from cells or tissues according to methods well known to those skilled in the art. The RNA may be a mixed population (obtained from cells or tissues, transcribed from cDNA, etc.), or may represent a single target sequence. RNA may be naturally occurring, e.g., isolated from tissue or cell samples, e.g., synthesized in vitro using T7 or SP6 polymerase and PCR products or cloned cDNA; or chemically synthesized.
For the formation of long dsrnas, the complements may also be transcribed and hybridized in vitro to form dsRNA for synthetic RNAs. If a naturally occurring RNA population is used, for example by transcription of cDNAs corresponding to the RNA population, or by use of RNA polymerase, RNA complements are also provided (e.g., formation of dsRNA, which is digested by e.coli (e.coli) RNAse III or a nicking enzyme). The precursor RNAs are then hybridized to form double stranded RNAs for digestion. The dsRNAs may be directly encapsulated in SNALPs or may be digested in vitro prior to encapsulation.
Alternatively, one or more DNA plasmids encoding one or more siRNA templates may be encapsulated in a nucleic acid-lipid particle. For example, based on the naturally occurring transcription units of micronuclear RNAU6 or human RNase P RNA H1, siRNA can be transcribed from a DNA template in a plasmid with RNA polymerase III transcription units (see Brummelkamp, et al, science 296:550 (2002); donze, et al, nucleic acids Res.30:46 (2002); paddison, et al, genes Dev.16:948 (2002); yu, et al, proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.99:6047 (2002); lee, et al, nat. Biotech.20:500 (2002); yagishi, et al, nat. Biotech.20:497 (2002); paul, et al, nat. 20:505 (2002); and Sui, acad. Nat. 99:5515). Typically, the transcription unit or cassette will comprise an RNA transcription promoter sequence, such as an H1-RNA or U6 promoter, operably linked to a template for transcription of the desired siRNA sequence and a termination sequence comprising 2-3 uridine residues and a poly (T5) sequence (polyadenylation signal) (Brummelkamp, science, supra). The selected promoter may provide constitutive or inducible transcription. Methods of transcription of compositions and DNA-directed RNA interfering molecules are described in detail in U.S. patent No. 6,573,099, which is incorporated herein by reference. Preferably, the synthetic or transcribed siRNA has a 3 'overhang of about 1-4, preferably about 2-3 nucleotides and a 5' phosphate end (Elbashir, et al, genes Dev.15:188 (2001); Cell 107:309 (2001)). The transcription unit is incorporated into a plasmid or DNA vector from which the interfering RNA is transcribed. Plasmids suitable for in vivo delivery of genetic material for therapeutic purposes are described in detail in U.S. Pat. No5,962,428 and 5,910,488, both of which are incorporated herein by reference. The selected plasmid may provide transient or stable delivery of the target cell. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that plasmids originally designed for expression of the desired gene sequences may be modified to include transcriptional unit cassettes for transcription of siRNA.
Methods for isolating RNA, synthesizing RNA, hybridizing nucleic acids, preparing and screening cDNA libraries, and performing PCR are well known in the art (see, e.g., gubler & Hoffman, gene25:263-269 (1983); sambrook et al, supra; ausubel et al, supra), as are PCR methods (see U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,683,195 and 4,683,202;PCR Protocols:AGuidetoMethods and Applications (Innis et al, eds, 1990)). Expression libraries are also well known to those of skill in the art. Additional basic books disclosing the general methods used in the present invention include Sambrook et al Molecular Cloning, A Laboratory Manual (2 nd ed.1989); kriegler, gene Transfer and Expression: a Laboratory Manual (1990); and Current Protocols in Molecular Biology (Ausubel et al, eds., 1994)).

Chem.272:12778-12785 (1997); willy, et al, general dev.9 (9): 1033-45 (1995); lehmann et al, J.biol.chem.272 (6): 3137-3140 (1997); janowski, et al, nature383:728-731 (199; peet, et al, cell93:693-704 (1998)). Those skilled in the art will appreciate that genes associated with metabolic diseases and disorders (e.g., diseases and disorders in which the liver is targeted and liver diseases and disorders) include genes expressed in the liver itself as well as genes expressed in other organs and tissues. Silencing a sequence encoding a gene associated with metabolic diseases and disorders can be conveniently used in conjunction with the administration of conventional agents for treating the diseases or disorders.
Examples of genes associated with tumorigenesis and cell transformation include translocation sequences such as MLL fusion genes, BCR-ABL (Wilda, et al, oncogene,21:5716 (2002); scherr, et al, blood 101:1566), TEL-AML1, FLI1, TLS-FUS, PAX3-FKHR, BCL-2, AML1-ETO, and AML1-MTG8 (Heidenreich, et al, blood 101:3157 (2003)); over-expressed sequences such as multi-drug resistance Genes (Nieth, et al, FEBS Lett.545:144 (2003); wu, et al, cancer Res.63:1515 (2003)), cyclin (Li, et al, cancer rRs.63:3593 (2003); zou, et al, genes Dev.16:2923 (2002)), beta-catenin (Verma, et al, clin Cancer Res.9:1291 (2003)), telomerase Genes (Kosciole, et al, mol Cancer Ther.2:209 (2003)), c-MYC, N-MYC, BCL-2, ERBB1 and ERBB2 (Nagy, et al exp.Res.285:39 (2003)); and mutant sequences such as RAS (reviewed in Tuschl and Borkhardt, mol. Intermediates, 2:158 (2002)). Silencing of the sequence encoding the DNA repair enzyme was used in conjunction with administration of a chemotherapeutic agent (Collis, et al, cancer rRs.63:1550 (2003)). Genes encoding proteins associated with tumor migration, such as integrins, selectins and metalloproteinases, are also target sequences of interest. Any complete or partial gene sequence that favors or promotes tumorigenesis or cell transformation, tumor growth or tumor migration can be included as a template sequence.
Angiogenic genes can promote the formation of new blood vessels. Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) is the major research direction (Reich, et al, mol. Vis.9:210 (2003)).
An immunomodulator gene is a gene that modulates one or more immune responses. Examples of immunomodulator genes include cytokines such as growth factors (e.g., TGF- α, TGF- β, EGF, FGF, IGF, NGF, PDGF, CGF, GM-CSF, SCF, etc.), interleukins (e.g., IL-2, IL-4, IL-12 (Hill, et al, J. Immunol.171:691 (2003)), IL-15, IL-18, IL-20, etc.), interferons (e.g., IFN- α, IFN- β, IFN- γ, etc.), and TNF. Fas and Fas ligand genes are also target immunomodulator sequences of interest (Song, et al, nat. Med.9:347 (2003)). Genes encoding secondary signaling molecules in hematopoietic and lymphoid cells are also included in the present invention, for example, tec family kinases such as Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) (heinone, et al, FEBS letters 527:274 (2002)).
Cell receptor ligands include ligands that bind to cell surface receptors (e.g., insulin receptor, EPO receptor, G-protein coupled receptor, receptor with tyrosine kinase activity, cytokine receptor, growth factor receptor, etc.) to modulate (e.g., inhibit, activate, etc.) physiological pathways (e.g., glucose level regulation, blood cell development, mitogenesis, etc.) involved in the receptor. Examples of cellular receptor ligands include cytokines, growth factors, interleukins, interferons, erythropoietin (EPO), insulin, glucagon, G-protein coupled receptor ligands, and the like. Templates encoding the expansion of trinucleotide repeats (e.g., CAG repeats) find use in silencing pathogenic sequences in neurodegenerative diseases caused by the expansion of trinucleotide repeats, such as spinal bulbar muscular atrophy and huntington's disease (replen, et al, hum. Mol. Genet.11:175 (2002)).
Injectable delivery: in some cases, such as in U.S. Pat. nos. 5,543,158; it is desirable to deliver the drug-lipid particles disclosed herein parenterally, intravenously, intramuscularly, subcutaneously, intradermally, or intraperitoneally as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,641,515 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,399,363. The drug-lipid particles can be injected locally to a target site (e.g., a disease site such as inflammation or tumor formation or to a target organ or tissue) or systemically for widespread distribution to organisms. Solutions of the drug-lipid particles may be prepared in water, suitably mixed with a surfactant. Dispersions can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols and mixtures thereof, and in oils. Optionally, these formulations contain a preservative to prevent the growth of microorganisms. Typically, when administered intravenously, the drug-lipid particle formulation is formulated with a suitable pharmaceutical carrier. Typically, a common buffered saline solution (135-150 mM NaCl) will be used as a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, but other suitable carriers will suffice. Additional suitable vectors are described, for example, in REMINGTON' S PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES, mack Publishing Company, philadelphia, pa., 17th ed. (1985). As used herein, "carrier" includes any and all solvents, dispersion media, vehicles, coatings, diluents, antibacterial and antifungal agents, isotonic and absorption delaying agents, buffers, carrier solutions, suspensions, colloids, and the like. The phrase "pharmaceutically acceptable" refers to molecular entities and compositions that do not produce an allergic or similar untoward reaction when administered to a human. The formulation of an aqueous composition comprising a protein as an active ingredient is well understood in the art. Alternatively, these compositions are prepared as injectable solutions, liquid solutions or suspensions; solid forms suitable for solution or suspension in a liquid prior to injection may also be prepared. The formulation may also be emulsified.
The drug-lipid particles may be sterilized by conventional liposome sterilization techniques, such as filtration. The drug-lipid particles may contain pharmaceutically acceptable auxiliary substances which are suitable physiological conditions such as pH adjusting and buffering agents, toxicity adjusting agents, wetting agents, etc. These compositions may be sterilized using the techniques referred to above, or alternatively, they may be produced under sterile conditions. The resulting aqueous solution may be packaged for use or filtered under sterile conditions and lyophilized, and the lyophilized formulation combined with the sterile aqueous solution prior to administration.
Prophylactic and therapeutic treatment: in some embodiments, the drug-lipid particles can be used for prophylactic or therapeutic treatment of a subject (e.g., a mammalian subject) having a disease or disorder associated with expression or overexpression of a target sequence. The drug-lipid particles are administered to a subject in an amount sufficient to elicit a therapeutic response in a patient. An amount sufficient to accomplish this is defined as a "therapeutically effective dose or amount" or "effective dose or amount". In determining an effective amount of drug-lipid particles to be administered in the treatment or prevention of a disease caused by expression or overexpression of a target gene, the physician evaluates circulating plasma levels of drug-lipid particles, drug-lipid particle toxicity and progression of the disease associated with expression or overexpression of the target gene. Administration may be accomplished in single or divided doses.
For example, the drug-lipid particles may be administered to a subject infected with or at risk of being infected with a pathogenic microorganism. The drug should preferably correspond to a sequence that has a critical role in the life cycle of the microorganism and should also be unique to the microorganism (or at least absent from the genome of the native genome of the patient undergoing treatment). The drug-lipid particles are introduced into the target cells, tissues or organs by ex vivo (exvivo) or intravenous injection at a therapeutically effective dose. Silencing a sequence encoding a gene associated with a pathogenic infection may conveniently be used in combination with administration of conventional agents for the treatment of pathogenic diseases. The treatment may be administered prophylactically to a person at risk of being infected with a pathogenic microorganism or having been infected with a pathogenic microorganism.
In a preferred embodiment, the drug-lipid particles of the present invention may be conveniently used for the treatment of cancer, viral infections, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, alzheimer's disease. Viral infections include hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, SARS-Cov-2, HIV, HPV, influenza, smallpox, syphilis. For example, suitable sites for inhibiting hepatitis B virus include nucleic acid sequences encoding the S, C, P and X proteins, PRE, enI, and EnII (see, e.g., FIELDSVIROLOGY,2001, supra). Those skilled in the art will appreciate that gene silencing associated with hepatitis infection can be associated with conventional treatments for hepatitis such as, for example, immunoglobulins, interferons (e.g., pegylated and unpegylated interferon a) (see, for example, medina et al, antiviralRes.60 (2): 135-143 (2003), ribavirin (see, for example, hugle and Cerny, rev. Med. Virol.13 (6): 361-71 (2003)), adefovir and lamivudine (see, for example, kock et al, hepatolog 38 (6): 1410-8 (2003)), prenylation inhibitors (see, for example, border et al, J. Clin. Invert. 112 (3): 407-414 (2003)), ganciclovir (see, for example, yurdadin et al, jepal. 37 (2): 266-71 (2002)), and saponins c and d (see, for example, chick et al, 60 (2003).
In another embodiment, the drug-lipid particles of the invention may be conveniently used to treat diseases and conditions characterized by expression or overexpression of a gene or a gene cluster. In some aspects, the drug-lipid particles of the invention may be used to treat metabolic diseases and disorders (e.g., diseases and disorders in which the liver is the target and liver diseases and disorders) such as, for example, dyslipidemia and diabetes. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that silencing of genes associated with metabolic diseases and disorders may be combined with conventional treatment of such diseases. For example, the silencing of genes involved in dyslipidemia can be associated with the use of inhibin, bile acid sequestrants/resins and cholesterol absorption inhibitors such as ezetimibe, plant stanols/sterols, polyphenols, and nutraceuticals such as oat bran, flaxseed and soy protein, plant stanol (phytostanol) analogues, squalene synthetase inhibitors, bile acid transport inhibitors SREBP Cleavage Activated Protein (SCAP) activated ligands, niacin (niacin), acipimox, high dose fish oil, antioxidants and policosanol, microsomal triacylglycerol transporter (MTP) inhibitors, acyl-coa: cholesterol Acyltransferase (ACAT) inhibitors, gemcabene, li Feibei ro, pantothenate analogs, niacin-receptor agonists, anti-inflammatory agents (such as Lp-PLA (2) antagonists and AGI 1067) functional oils, PPAR-alpha, gamma, delta agonists, and dual PPAR-alpha,/gamma and 'pan' PPAR-alpha/gamma,/delta agonists, cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein (CETP) inhibitors (such as torcetrapib), CETP vaccines, up-regulation of ATP-binding cassette transporter (ABC) A1, lecithin Cholesterol Acyltransferase (LCAT) and scavenger receptor type B1 (SRB 1), and synthetic apolipoprotein (Apo) E-related peptides, extended release niacin/lovastatin, atorvastatin/amlodipine, ezetimibe/simvastatin, atorvastatin/CETP inhibitors, tin/agonists, extended release niacin/simvastatin and pravastatin in development and extended release niacin/simvastatin (such as vitamin A1, and extended release anti-cholesterol (such as vitamin c) and vitamin B1, such as, for example, vitamin c, 11, and stepstatin (steppe 1, 2003, 7). Likewise, the silencing of genes involved in diabetes can be combined with treatment with insulin, dietary modification and exercise.
Similar methods are used to inhibit the expression of endogenous receptor cellular genes associated with tumorigenesis and cellular transformation, tumor growth and tumor migration; inhibiting expression of angiogenic genes; inhibiting expression of immunomodulator genes, such as those associated with inflammation and autoimmune responses; inhibiting expression of the ligand receptor gene; inhibiting expression of a gene associated with a neurodegenerative disorder; and inhibiting expression of additional genes associated with viral infection and survival. The target gene sequence of a specific target is as described above.

For example, the label may be coupled directly or indirectly to the component of the drug-lipid particle or other lipid-based carrier system using methods well known in the art. A wide variety of labels may be used, with the choice being made based on the sensitivity desired, the ease of conjugation to the drug-lipid particle component, stability requirements and the available tools and preparation for handling. Suitable labels include, but are not limited to, spectroscopic labels such as fluorescent dyes (e.g., fluorescein and derivatives such as Fluorescein Isothiocyanate (FITC) and Oregon GreenTM; rhodamine and derivatives such as texas red, tetrarhodimine isothiocynate (TRITC), etc., digoxigenin, biotin, phycoerythrin, AMCA, cydye, etc., radioactive labels such as 3h,125i,35s,14c,32p,33p, etc., enzymes such as horseradish peroxidase, alkaline phosphatase, etc., spectroscopic colorimetric labels such as colloidal gold or colored glass or plastic beads such as polystyrene, polypropylene, latex, etc.), the labels are detected using any means known in the art.
Detection of nucleic acid: the nucleic acids herein are detected and quantified by any of a number of means well known to those skilled in the art. Nucleic acid detection is performed by methods well known in the art such as southern blot analysis, northern blot analysis, gel electrophoresis, PCR, radiolabeling, scintillation counting, and affinity chromatography. Additional analytical biochemical methods such as spectrophotometry, radiography, electrophoresis, capillary electrophoresis, high Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), thin Layer Chromatography (TLC), hyperdiffusion chromatography may also be applied.
The sensitivity of hybridization assays can be increased by the use of nucleic acid amplification systems that double the target nucleic acid to be detected. In vitro amplification techniques suitable for amplifying sequences used as molecular probes or generating nucleic acid fragments for subsequent subcloning are known. Examples of techniques sufficient to guide the skilled artisan through these in vitro amplification methods, including Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), ligase Chain Reaction (LCR), qβ -replicase amplification and other RNA polymerase mediated techniques (e.g., nasatm), are found in Sambrook, et al, molecular Cloning: a Laboratory Manual, coldSpring Harbor Laboratory Press,2000, and Ausubel et al, SHORT PROTOCOLSIN MOLECULAR BIOLOGY, eds, current Protocols, a joint venture between Greene Publishing Associates, inc.and John Wiley & Sons, inc., (2002), and Mullis et al (1987), U.S. Pat. nos. 4,683,202; PCR Protocols A Guide toMethods and Applications (Innis et al eds.)

The principle of loading nucleic acid from Metal-polyphenol complex particles (Metal-chelated polyphenol complex nanoparticles, MPNP) assembled from Metal-polyphenol complexes is: curcumin and Fe through coordination bond 3+ Or Al 3+ Are connected to form a metal-polyphenol complex, fe of the metal-polyphenol complex 3+ Or Al 3+ The coordination bond is connected with the nucleic acid, so that the metal-polyphenol complex and other components are self-assembled into MPNP, and the nucleic acid is loaded into the nanoparticle. The contribution of curcumin in MPNP-loaded nucleic acids has two possibilities: (1) curcumin interacts with nucleic acid to assist Loading of nucleic acid by MPNP, e.g., curcumin, aids in loading of nucleic acid by insertion into the minor groove of the nucleic acid; (2) curcumin may not directly interact with nucleic acids.

Example 4 Fe at Low pH 3+ Characterization of exfoliation from metal-polyphenol complexes
Curcumin in metal-polyphenol complex binds Fe through coordination bond 3+ Curcumin and Fe under the condition of low pH value of lysosome 3+ The coordination bond between them is broken by the occurrence of a proton (hydrogen ion absorption). To demonstrate Fe in the metal-polyphenol complex 3+ Indeed, by the above mechanism, from lipid complexes, we devised the following experiments: the metal-polyphenol complex was observed at physiological pH (ph=7.4) and lysosome at low pH (ph=5.0), respectively Color of the object.

Example 5 the metal ion is Fe 3+ Or is Al 3+ The efficiency of the drug-metal-polyphenol complex particles MPNP in encapsulating nucleic acids (siRNA and mRNA) and its comparison with LNP.
The preparation of nucleic acid-entrapped drug-metal-polyphenol complex particles siRNA@MPNP and mRNA@MPNP, respectively, was carried out by replacing the mRNA in example 2 with siRNA targeting the Bcl-2 gene (SEQ ID NO.4, 21 bp) and mRNA encoding the receptor binding domain (receptor binding domain, RBD) of the novel coronavirus S1 subunit (SEQ ID NO.2, 669 nt), respectively, and the preparation procedure of the remaining drug-metal-polyphenol complex particles was the same as in example 2.
The preparation of siRNA@LNP and mRNA@LNP according to the same drug loading amount of Bcl-2-siRNA@MPNP in example 2.6 and RBD-mRNA@MPNP in example 2.5 comprises the following specific steps: the organic phase solution was formulated according to the onpatpro lipid nanoparticle formulation, i.e. ionizable lipids ALC0315, DSPE-PEG2000, DSPC and cholesterol in 50%:1.5%:10%:38.5% of the molar ratio was dissolved in ethanol. Bcl-siRNA or RBD-mRNA was added to the aqueous phase (0.1M, pH =4.0 acetate-sodium acetate buffer). Wherein the ratio of amino ester to nucleotide phosphate (N/P) is 6:1, simultaneously ensuring that the nucleic acid drug loading is the same as that of the siRNA@MPNP and the mRNA@MPNP, and rapidly mixing an aqueous phase and an organic phase at a volume ratio of 3:1 at a flow rate of 14 mL/min. After mixing, diluting ten times with a Tris-HCl buffer solution with pH7.4, concentrating the mixed solution to one tenth by using a 100kDa ultrafiltration tube, repeatedly diluting and concentrating for 3 times, reducing the ethanol concentration in the mixed solution to below 0.0005%, and raising the pH value of the solution to the normal pH value (7.2-7.4) of the Tris-HCl buffer solution to obtain siRNA@LNP and mRNA@LNP respectively.
The inclusion rates of the nucleic acids (siRNA and mRNA) with sirna@mpnp, mrna@mpnp, sirna@lnp and mrna@lnp were detected by agarose gel electrophoresis. The method for measuring the entrapment rate comprises the following steps: the dosage of nucleic acid (siRNA and mRNA) of each group of lipid nano particles is 10 mug/mL, the mass ratio of lipid to nucleic acid is that the metal in the metal-polyphenol compound is Fe 3+ When the mass ratio of the metal to the polyphenol compound is 20:1, the metal in the metal-polyphenol compound is Al 3+ When the nucleic acid was dissolved in a buffer solution of pH5.0Tris-HCl at a mass ratio of 18:1, the positive control group was a PBS buffer solution without nucleic acid as a negative control group. The concentration of agarose gel is 1.5%, at this time, the gap of gel only allows free nucleic acid to pass through, but not lipid nanoparticle, and when the free nucleic acid band electrophoresis is clear, electrophoresis is stopped, and the degradation of nucleic acid is prevented. The grey scale value of the free nucleic acid in different groups is counted by using imageJ software, the positive control group is defined as 100%, the ratio of the free nucleic acid in each group relative to the positive control is the relative amount of the free nucleic acid, and the entrapment rate in each group is (100-relative amount of the free nucleic acid).

Mu.g/mL) was prepared; the ability of the drug-lipid particles to promote lysosomal escape was judged to be investigated by replacing RBD-mRNA (SEQ ID NO. 2) of example 5 with Cy 5-labeled mRNA (Cy 5-mRNA), preparing Cy5-mRNA@LNP (concentration of mRNA at 2. Mu.g/mL), incubating A549 cells with the lysosome probe Lysozagrel Green for 3 hours, and then observing the overlap of the fluorescent signal of Cy5 (red) and the fluorescent signal of Lysozagrel Green using a high content imaging system.
Determination criteria for the ability of drug-metal-polyphenol complex particles to promote nucleolytic escape: after incubating the cells for 3 hours with the drug-metal-polyphenol complex nanoparticles, the overlapping of the fluorescence signal of Cy5 (red) and the lysotrackgreen fluorescence signal (green) was observed using a high content imaging system, and the overlapping rate of the red fluorescence signal and the green fluorescence signal was counted using imageJ software. When the drug-metal-polyphenol compound particles incubate cells for 3 hours, the overlapping rate of the red fluorescent signal and the green fluorescent signal is lower than 50%, which indicates that the nucleic acid can escape from the cell lysosome faster, and the drug-metal-polyphenol compound particles have better capability of promoting the escape of the nucleolytic lysosome.
Analysis of results: as shown in FIGS. 2-5, when Cy5-siRNA@MPNP (Fe 3+ ) And Cy5-mRNA@MPNP (Fe) 3+ ) After 3 hours of incubation of a549 cells, the overlapping rates of the red fluorescent signal and the green fluorescent signal were 39.20% ± 8.89% and 44.96% ± 3.85%, respectively, i.e., lysosome escape rates were 60.80% ± 8.89% and 55.04% ± 3.85%, respectively; when Cy5-siRNA@MPNP (Al 3+ ) And Cy5-mRNA@MPNP (Al) 3+ ) After 3 hours of incubation of a549 cells, the overlapping rates of the red fluorescent signal and the green fluorescent signal were 34.70% ± 4.98% and 39.10% ± 4.43%, respectively, i.e., lysosome escape rates were 65.30% ± 4.98% and 60.90% ± 4.43%, respectively; and after the A549 cells are incubated for 3 hours by Cy5-siRNA@LNP and Cy5-mRNA@LNP, the overlapping rate of the red fluorescent signal and the green fluorescent signal is 76.02% + -7.90% and 85.33% + -4.87%, namely the lysozyme, respectivelyBody escape ability was 23.98% ± 7.90% and 14.67% ± 4.87%, respectively. The medicine-lipid nanoparticle MPNP is provided with better ability of promoting the escape of nucleotidic lysosomes, and the capacity of promoting the escape of the lysosomes of the MPNP is obviously stronger than that of LNP.

Analysis of results: analysis of results: as shown in FIGS. 2 to 6, MPNP (Fe 3+ )、MPNP(Al 3+ ) The percentage of eGFP positive cells after 293T cells treated with LNP was 93.47%, 97.06% and 63.09%, respectively. And (3) result prompting: MPNP functions better to promote nucleic acid expression than LNP. The possible reasons for this are: the MPNP is more capable of lysosomal escape than LNP in the case of the pro-nucleic acid of example 6, so that more nucleic acid loaded by the MPNP is efficiently released into the cytoplasm and translated into protein.

Example 10 in vivo safety comparison of Metal-polyphenol Complex particles (MPNPs) to LNPs
The main toxicity of LNP comes from its main components, cationic lipids and/or ionizable lipids. Free cationic lipids and/or ionizable lipids can cause significant toxicity to the body when LNP is metabolized in vivo. Semi-lethal dose (IC) of cationic lipids and/or ionizable lipids to biological cells 50 ) Is an important parameter for assessing the toxicity of LNP to the body. The drug-metal-polyphenol complex particles (MPNP) replace cationic lipids/ionizable lipids in LNP with metal-polyphenol complexes, therefore we have studied the median lethal dose (IC) of metal-polyphenol complexes and cationic lipids/ionizable lipids to biological cells 50 ) The differences in toxicity of LNP and MPNP were compared.
After incubating 293T cells with different concentrations of the metal-polyphenol complex (0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.9, 2.7, 8.1, 24.3, 72.9, 218.7. Mu.M), cationic lipid (DOTAP, 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.9, 2.7, 8.1, 24.3, 72.9, 218.7. Mu.M) and ionizable lipid (ALC 0315,0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.9, 2.7, 8.1, 24.3, 72.9, 218.7. Mu.M) respectively for 48 hours, cell activity was detected with a CCK8 activity detection kit, and the half-lethal IC of the metal-polyphenol complex, cationic lipid (DOTAP) and ionizable lipid (ALC 0315) to 293T cells was calculated, respectively 50 。
The detection method of CCK8 comprises the following steps:
cell culture: culturing cells by using DMEM culture solution containing 10% FBS and 1% diabody until the cell density reaches 80% -90% of that of a culture bottle for later use;
washing the remaining medium in the flask with PBS, adding pancreatin, and rapidly transferring the flask to 37deg.C with 5%CO 2 Is provided. Note that after the cells were slightly rounded, digestion was stopped by adding culture medium. Transferring into a centrifuge tube, centrifuging at 1500RPM for 5min, and re-suspending cells with fresh culture medium;
counting: the cell suspension was diluted to 10,0000 cells per 1ml, 100 μl per well in 96-well plates, at least 5 multiplex wells per group, as desired. 37 ℃,5% CO 2 Adding medicine after culturing for 24 hours;
after the medicine is incubated for 48 hours, 10 percent of CCK8 is added, the medicine is incubated for 1 to 3 hours, and the absorbance is measured at 450nm by an enzyme-labeled instrument;
survival (%) = [ a (dosing) -a (blank) ]/[ a (0 dosing) -a (blank) ]x100%.
IC 50 Is calculated by the following steps: the survival rate is taken as an ordinate, the drug concentration is taken as an abscissa, and the Graphpad is adopted by [ Inhibitor ]]Method of analysis of normalized response- -Variable slope to calculate IC 50 。
To compare the in vivo safety of MPNP and LNP, an in vivo experiment was performed to evaluate and compare the in vivo toxicity of MPNP (8 mg/kg) and LNP (3.24 mg/kg) loaded with an equivalent amount of nucleic acid (200. Mu.g/kg mRNA) according to the method of example 9.
Analysis of results: as shown in Table 2-2, IC of the metal-polyphenol complex 50 Significantly greater than the cationic lipid (DOTAP) and the ionizable lipid (ALC 0315). The metal-polyphenol complex has obviously lower toxicity than cationic lipid and ionizable lipid, and has obvious effect.
As shown in tables 2 to 3, at the end of the administration period and the end of the recovery period, MPNP (Fe 3+ ) Or MPNP (Al) 3+ ) The liver function indexes ALT, AST, ALP and cytokine IL-6, and the expression level of IL-1 beta in the group have no obvious abnormality. However, the liver function indexes ALT, AST, ALP and the cytokine IL-6, IL-1 beta expression levels of the LNP group are obviously increased compared with the control group. The results suggest that MPNP (Fe 3+ ) Or MPNP (Al) 3+ ) Is higher than LNP due to the fact that: the LNP has the core component of artificial synthesized cationic lipid/ionizable lipid, high cytotoxicity and immunogenicity, stable structure and difficult catabolism in vivo; whereas MPNP (Fe) 3+ ) Or MPNP (Al) 3+ ) Is a core of (2)The core component is a metal-polyphenol compound which consists of natural micromolecular substance curcumin (food additive and pharmaceutical adjuvant approved by FDA) with high safety and safe metal ions, and the metal-polyphenol compound is decomposed into natural molecules in vivo after the drug delivery is completed. In conclusion, since MPNP (Fe 3+ ) Or MPNP (Al) 3+ ) The composition contains no cationic lipid/ionizable lipid, and does not cause toxic side effects related to cationic lipid/ionizable lipid, so that MPNP (Fe) 3+ ) Or MPNP (Al) 3+ ) Is higher than LNP.

Reference example 1 with curcumin, fe 3+ The congener of (C) is respectively to curcumin and Fe 3+ Instead, 9 different drug-metal-polyphenol complex particles (eGFP-mrna@mpnp) were prepared by different combinations, each with a concentration of 2 μg/mL, respectively, with reference to example 2. Curcumin, fe 3+ The names and structures of the analogues are shown in Table 4-1, and curcumin and Fe in 9 mRNA@MPNP 3+ And the like are combined in the manner shown in Table 4-2. The reaction temperature in example 1 was 60℃and the reaction time was 2 hours, with the other conditions unchanged.
To compare the effects of the 9 different eGFP-mrna@mpnp with eGFP-mrna@lnp, we prepared LNP entrapping an equal amount of eGFP mrna with reference to example 5, yielding eGFP-mrna@lnp.
The 9 different eGFP-mrna@mpnp and eGFP (both containing mRNA at a concentration of 2 μg/mL) were incubated with 293T cells, control groups incubated with MPNP or LNP, and after 48h, cell suspensions were harvested and the percentage of eGFP positive cells was detected by flow cytometry.
Flow cytometry methods the method of analyzing the eGFP positive cell rate was as described in example 2.
The main toxicity of LNP comes from its main component, cationic lipids/ionizable lipids. Free cationic/ionizable lipids can cause significant toxicity to the body when LNP is metabolized in vivo. Semi-lethal dose (IC) of cationic/ionizable lipids to biological cells 50 ) Is an important parameter for assessing the toxicity of LNP to the body. The metal-polyphenol complex particles (MPNPs) replaced cationic lipid/ionizable lipid in LNP with metal-polyphenol complexes, and therefore, we studied half-lethal amounts (IC) of 9 metal-polyphenol complexes and cationic lipid (DOTAP)/ionizable lipid (ALC 0315) of Table 4-2 on biological cells 50 ) The difference in toxicity of LNP was compared to 9 MPNPs.
The calculation method of IC50 is as described in example 10.
Analysis of results: as shown in tables 4-3, the percentage of eGFP positive cells after treatment of 293T cells with 9 different eGFP-mRNA@MPNPs was significantly higher than that of eGFP-mRNA@LNP, with the highest percentage of eGFP positive cells with mRNA@MPNP1. And (3) result prompting: curcumin, fe 3+ The function of the mRNA@MPNP formed after substitution by its congener is inferior to that of the mRNA@MPNP1, but slightly superior to that of the mRNA@LNP, probably because: the MPNP is more capable of lysosomal escape than LNP in the case of the pro-nucleic acid of example 5, so that more nucleic acid loaded by the MPNP is efficiently released into the cytoplasm and translated into protein.
The above results suggest that curcumin and Fe satisfy the following conditions 3+ The functions of the drug-metal-polyphenol composite particles formed after being replaced by the congeners are not affected: (1) the congener of curcumin is hydrophobic polyphenol capable of complexing with metal; (2) fe (Fe) 3+ Is a metal ion; (3) curcumin and Fe 3+ The coordination bond between them is capable of breaking in response to the low pH environment of the lysosome.
As shown in Table 4-3, IC's for 9 metal-polyphenol complexes 50 Are all significantly larger than the cationic lipid (DOTAP) and the ionizable lipid (ALC 0315). It is suggested that the toxicity of the metal-polyphenol complex is significantly less than that of the cationic lipid and the ionizable lipid, i.e. the complex is composed of curcumin and Fe 3+ And to the process for preparing the sameLipid particles (MPNP) composed of congeners are safer than LNP because: the LNP has the core component of artificial synthesized cationic lipid/ionizable lipid, high cytotoxicity and immunogenicity, stable structure and difficult catabolism in vivo; the core component of the MPNP is a metal-polyphenol compound, the metal-polyphenol compound is composed of non-cationic lipid, natural small molecular substances with high safety (wherein curcumin is food additive and pharmaceutical adjuvant approved by FDA) and safe metal ions, and the metal-polyphenol compound is decomposed into natural molecules in vivo after drug delivery is completed. In conclusion, the composition is prepared from curcumin and Fe 3+ And the lipid particles (MPNP) composed of the same are free of cationic lipid/ionizable lipid and do not cause toxic or side effects related to the cationic lipid/ionizable lipid, so that the safety of the MPNP is higher than that of the LNP.
