Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a nucleic acid which is expected to be useful as an active ingredient of a pharmaceutical composition, for example, a nucleic acid which is expected to be useful for treating mite allergy.
  • Mite allergy is an allergic disease that occurs in response to mite-derived allergens.
  • the allergic disease is caused by the following steps: 1) allergens taken into a body are phagocytosed by antigen-presenting cells and presented to naive T cells, 2) the naive T cells are differentiated into Th2 cells, 3) cytokine such as IL-4 is produced from an immune cell such as the Th2 cell, 4) B cells produce IgE by IL-4, and 5) IgE binding to the allergens binds to mast cells.
  • Th1-type immunity involving Th1 cells producing IFN- ⁇ or the like
  • Th2-type immunity involving Th2 cells producing IL-4 or the like shifts to Th2-type dominant which results in Th2-type inflammatory immune response
  • IFN- ⁇ can be used as an indicator of Th1-type immunity
  • IL-4 can be used as an indicator of Th2-type immunity.
  • IFN- ⁇ causes a preferential class switch to IgG2a isotype in activated B cells, while suppresses responses to all the other isotypes. That is, IgG2a can also be used as an indicator of Th1-type immunity.
  • IgG2a production of IgG2a is promoted in IL-4-deficient mice and that IgG2a production is suppressed in IFN- ⁇ -deficient mice (Arthritis Res., 2002, Vol. 4, p. 54-58).
  • antibodies produced from B cells are involved in the mechanism of action of allergen immunotherapy.
  • IgG antagonizes IgE binding to an allergen to inhibit formation of allergen-IgE complex and thereby inhibit histamine release from mast cells (J Allergy Clin Immunol., 2017, Vol. 140, p. 1485-1498).
  • nucleic acid vaccines for treating allergy using lysosome-associated membrane proteins (LAMP) have been studied.
  • a plasmid comprising a nucleic acid encoding a chimeric protein comprising LAMP-1, which is a member of LAMP family, and Cry J1 and/or Cry J2, which are allergens of Cryptomeria japonica , was constructed (Patent Document 3 and Non-Patent Document 2). It has been reported that such a plasmid does not cause systemic release of free allergen which causes anaphylaxis, but induces a Th1-type immune response.
  • a plasmid comprising a nucleic acid encoding a chimeric protein comprising LAMP-1 and peanut allergens Ara H1, Ara H2 and Ara H3 reduced production of IgE in a mouse model
  • Patent Document 4 a vaccine comprising a nucleic acid encoding a chimeric protein comprising Der p 1 and a transmembrane domain of LAMP-1 and an endosomal/lysosomal targeting domain has been constructed (Patent Document 5 and Non-Patent Document 3).
  • a nucleic acid vaccine for treating mite allergy comprising multiple mite allergen antigens, and an intra-organelle stabilizing domain of LAMP-1 and an endosomal/lysosomal targeting domain has not been reported.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a nucleic acid which is expected to be useful for treating mite allergy.
  • the present inventors have prepared LAMP-Der p 1-Der p 2-Der p 23-Der p 7 plasmid (Example 1), confirmed that a chimeric protein is expressed from the plasmid (Example 2), and found that a Th1-type immune response is induced in mice to which the plasmid is administered (Examples 3 and 4).
