Description

一种用于治疗癌症的RNA递送系统 技术领域
本申请涉及生物医学技术领域,特别涉及一种用于治疗癌症的RNA递送系统。
背景技术
器官组织的异常增殖,呈恶性浸润生长,发生在上皮组织者叫做癌症,可因为压迫、挤压、消耗或破坏等使器官功能逐渐障碍直至衰竭,甚至机体衰竭而致死。恶性肿瘤有很多种,其性质类型各异、累及的组织和器官不同、病期不同、对各种治疗的反应也不同,因此大部分患者需要进行综合治疗。所谓综合治疗就是根据患者的身体状况、肿瘤的病理类型、侵犯范围等情况,综合采用手术、化疗、放疗、免疫治疗、中医中药治疗、介入治疗、微波治疗等手段,以期较大幅度地提高治愈率,并改善患者的生活质量。
RNA干扰(RNAi)疗法自从被发明以来,一直被认为是治疗人类疾病的一种很有前途的策略,但在临床实践过程中遇到了许多问题,该疗法的发展进度远远落后于预期。
一般认为RNA无法在细胞外长期稳定存在,因为RNA会被细胞外富含的RNase降解成碎片,因此必须找到能够使RNA稳定存在于细胞外,并且能够靶向性地进入特定组织的方法,才能将RNAi疗法的效果凸显出来。
目前与siRNA相关的专利很多,主要聚焦在以下几个方面:1、设计具有医学效果的siRNA。2、对siRNA进行化学修饰,提高siRNA在生物体内的稳定性,提高产率。3、提高设计各种人工载体(如脂质纳米粒子、阳离子聚合物和病毒),以提高siRNA在体内传递的效率。其中第3方面的专利很多,其根本原因是研究人员们已经意识到目前缺乏合适的siRNA传递系统,将siRNA安全地、精确地、高效地输送到目标组织,该问题已经成为制约RNAi疗法的核心问题。
病毒(Biological virus)是一种个体微小,结构简单,只含一种核酸(DNA或RNA),必须在活细胞内寄生并以复制方式增殖的非细胞型生物。病毒载体可将遗传物质带入细胞,原理是利用病毒具有传送其基因组进入其他细胞,进行感染的分子机制,可发生于完整活体(in vivo)或是细胞培养(in vitro)中,主要应用于基础研究、基因疗法或疫苗。但是目前很少有针对将病毒作为载体利用特殊的自组装机制递送RNA,特别是siRNA的相关研究。
公开号为CN108624590A的中国专利公开了一种能够抑制DDR2基因表达的siRNA;公开号为CN108624591A的中国专利公开了一种能够沉默ARPC4基因的siRNA,并且对该siRNA进行了α-磷-硒修饰;公开号为CN108546702A的中国专利公开了一种靶向长链非编码RNA DDX11-AS1的siRNA。公开号为CN106177990A的中国专利公开了一种可以用于多种肿瘤治疗的siRNA前体。这些专利均设计了特定的siRNA并且来针对某些由基因变化引起的疾病。
公开号为CN108250267A的中国专利公开了一种多肽、多肽-siRNA诱导共组装体,使用多肽作为siRNA的载体。公开号为CN108117585A的中国专利公开了一种靶向导入siRNA促进乳腺癌细胞凋亡的多肽,同样使用多肽作为siRNA的载体。公开号为CN108096583A的中国专利公开了一种纳米粒子载体,该载体在包含化疗药物的同时还可以装载具有乳腺癌疗效的siRNA。这些专利均为在siRNA载体方面的发明创造,但是其技术方案具有一个共同特征,那就是载体和siRNA均在体外预先组装,然后再引入宿主体内。事实上,目前绝大部分设计的传递技术均是如此。然而这类传递体系具有共同的问题,那就是这些人工合成的外源性传递体系很容易被宿主的循环系统清除,也有可能引起免疫原性反应,甚至可能对特定的细胞类型和组织有毒。
本发明的研究团队发现内源性细胞可以选择性地将miRNAs封装到外泌体(exosome)中,外泌体可以 将miRNA传递到受体细胞中,其分泌的miRNA在相对较低的浓度下,即可有力阻断靶基因的表达。外泌体与宿主免疫系统生物相容,并具有在体内保护和运输miRNA跨越生物屏障的先天能力,因此成为克服与siRNA传递相关的问题的潜在解决方案。例如,公开号为CN110699382A的中国专利就公开了一种递送siRNA的外泌体的制备方法,公开了从血浆中分离外泌体,并将siRNA通过电穿孔的方式封装到外泌体中的技术。
但是这类在体外分离或制备外泌体的技术,往往需要通过细胞培养获取大量的外泌体,再加上siRNA封装的步骤,这使得大规模应用该产品的临床费用变得非常高,一般患者无法负担;更重要的是,外泌体复杂的生产/纯化过程,使其几乎不可能符合GMP标准。
到目前为止,以外泌体为有效成分的药物从未获得CFDA批准,其核心问题就是无法保证外泌体产品的一致性,而这一问题直接导致此类产品无法获得药品生产许可证。如果能解决这一问题,则对推动RNAi疗法治疗癌症意义非凡。
因此,开发一个安全、精确和高效的siRNA传递系统是对提高RNAi治疗效果,推进RNAi疗法至关重要的一环。

具体实施方式
下面结合附图对本申请的具体实施方式进行描述。
首先,对本发明涉及到的专业名词、试验方法等进行解释说明。
Western免疫印迹(Western Blot)是将蛋白质转移到膜上,然后利用抗体进行检测.对已知表达蛋白,可用相应抗体作为一抗进行检测,对新基因的表达产物,可通过融合部分的抗体检测。
Western Blot采用的是聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳,被检测物是蛋白质,“探针”是抗体,“显色”用标记的二抗。经过PAGE分离的蛋白质样品,转移到固相载体(例如硝酸纤维素薄膜)上,固相载体以非共价键形式吸附蛋白质,且能保持电泳分离的多肽类型及其生物学活性不变,以固相载体上的蛋白质或多肽作为抗原,与对应的抗体起免疫反应,再与酶或同位素标记的第二抗体起反应,经过底物显色或放射自显影以检测电泳分离的特异性目的基因表达的蛋白成分。其步骤主要包括:提取蛋白、蛋白定量、制胶和电泳、转膜、免疫标记及显影。
免疫组化,应用抗原抗体反应,即抗原与抗体特异性结合的原理,通过化学反应使标记抗体的显色剂(荧光素、酶、金属离子、同位素)显色来确定组织细胞内抗原(多肽和蛋白质),对其进行定位、定性及相对定量的研究,称为免疫组织化学技术(immunohistochemistry)或免疫细胞化学技术(immunocytochemistry)。
本发明中涉及到的siRNA水平、蛋白含量和mRNA含量的检测,均是通过向小鼠体内注射RNA递送系统,建立了小鼠干细胞体外模型。利用qRT-PCR检测细胞、组织中mRNA和siRNA表达水平。对于siRNA的绝对定量利用标准品绘制标准曲线的方式进行确定。每个siRNA或mRNA相对于内参的表达量可以用2-ΔCT表示,其中ΔCT=C样品-C内参。扩增siRNA时内参基因为U6snRNA(组织中)或mi R-16(血清、外泌体中)分子,扩增mRNA时基因为GAPDH或18s RNA。利用Western blotting实验检测细胞、组织中蛋白质的表达水平,用ImageJ软件进行蛋白定量分析。
在本发明中,除非另有说明,否则本文中使用的科学和技术名词具有本领域技术人员所通常理解的含义。并且,本文中所用的试剂、材料和操作步骤均为相应领域内广泛使用的试剂、材料和常规步骤。

需要说明的是,上述侧翼序列、补偿序列、loop序列均不是随意选择的,而是基于大量的理论研究和试验确定的,在上述特定侧翼序列、补偿序列、loop序列的配合下,能够最大程度的提高RNA片段的表达率。
腺病毒载体携带有多个不同5’侧翼序列/loop序列/3’侧翼序列的RNA片段时,其具有体内富集、自组装及针对肺癌、肾癌、胰腺癌、胶质瘤和结直肠癌的治疗效果,如图14-15所示。
在病毒载体携带两个或多个线路的情况下,相邻的线路之间可以通过序列1-序列2-序列3相连;其中,序列1优选为CAGATC,序列2可以为由5-80个碱基组成的序列,比如10个、15个、20个、25个、30个、35个、40个、45个、50个、55个、60个、65个、70个、75个碱基组成的序列均可,优选为10 -50个碱基组成的序列,更优选为20-40个碱基组成的序列,序列3优选为TGGATC。

一个RNA序列的长度为15-25个核苷酸(nt),优选为18-22nt,比如18nt、19nt、20nt、21nt、22nt均可。此序列长度的范围并不是随意选择的,而是经过反复的试验后确定的。大量试验证明,在RNA序列的长度小于18nt,特别是小于15nt的情况下,该RNA序列大多无效,不会发挥作用,而在RNA序列的长度大于22nt,特别是大于25nt的情况下,则不仅线路的成本大大提高,而且效果也并未优于长度为18-22nt的RNA序列,经济效益差。因此,在RNA序列的长度为15-25nt,特别是18-22nt时,能够兼顾成本与作用的发挥,效果最好。
RNA序列的长度分别为18、20、22,含有RNA序列的递送系统也具有相应的富集、自组装和癌症治疗效果,如图17所示。
具体序列如下表4所示。

所述能够治疗癌症的RNA选自以下RNA中的任意一种或几种:EGFR基因的siRNA、KRAS基因的siRNA、VEGFR基因的siRNA、mTOR基因的siRNA、TNC基因的siRNA或编码上述RNA的核酸分子。
能够治疗癌症的RNA有效序列的数量为1条、2条或多条。比如若需治疗肺癌,则可以在同一个病毒载体上联合使用EGFR基因的siRNA和KRAS基因的siRNA,也可以单独使用EGFR基因的siRNA或KRAS基因的siRNA;若需治疗肾癌,则可以在同一个病毒载体上联合使用VEGFR基因的siRNA和mTOR基因的siRNA,也可以单独使用VEGFR基因的siRNA或mTOR基因的siRNA;若需治疗脑胶质细胞瘤,则可以单独使用EGFR基因的siRNA和TNC基因的siRNA,也可以单独使用EGFR基因的siRNA或TNC基因的siRNA等。
以在同一个病毒载体上联合使用“siRNA1”和“siRNA2”为例,该病毒载体的功能结构区可以表示为:(启动子-siRNA1)-连接序列-(启动子-siRNA2)-连接序列-(启动子-靶向标签),或(启动子-靶向标签-siRNA1)-连接序列-(启动子-靶向标签-siRNA2),或(启动子-siRNA1)-连接序列-(启动子-靶向标签-siRNA2)等。
更加具体地,该病毒载体的功能结构区可以表示为:(5’-启动子-5’侧翼序列-siRNA1-loop序列-补偿序列-3’侧翼序列)-连接序列-(5’-启动子-5’侧翼序列-siRNA2-loop序列-补偿序列-3’侧翼序列)-连接序列-(5’-启动子-靶向标签),或(5’-启动子-靶向标签-5’侧翼序列-siRNA1-loop序列-补偿序列-3’侧翼序列)-连接序列-(5’-启动子-靶向标签-5’侧翼序列-siRNA2-loop序列-补偿序列-3’侧翼序列),或(5’-启动子-5’侧翼序列-siRNA1-loop序列-补偿序列-3’侧翼序列)-连接序列-(5’-启动子-靶向标签-5’侧翼序列-siRNA2-loop序列-补偿序列-3’侧翼序列)、(5’-启动子-靶向标签-5’侧翼序列-siRNA1-siRNA2-loop序列-补偿序列-3’侧翼序列)等。其他情况均可以此类推,在此不再赘述。以上连接序列可以为“序列1-序列2-序列3”或“序列4”,一个括号表示一个完整的线路(circuit)。
优选地,上述RNA还可以通过对其中的RNA序列(siRNA、shRNA或miRNA)进行核糖修饰得到,优选2’氟嘧啶修饰。2’氟嘧啶修饰是将siRNA、shRNA或miRNA上嘧啶核苷酸的2’-OH用2’-F替代,2’-F能够使人体内的RNA酶不易识别siRNA、shRNA或miRNA,如此能够增加RNA在体内传输的稳定性。
优选地,上述RNA还可以通过对其中的RNA序列(siRNA、shRNA或miRNA)进行核糖修饰得到,优选2’氟嘧啶修饰。2’氟嘧啶修饰是将siRNA、shRNA或miRNA上嘧啶核苷酸的2’-OH用2’-F替代,2’-F能够使人体内的RNA酶不易识别siRNA、shRNA或miRNA,如此能够增加RNA在体内传输的稳定性。
具体地,肝脏会吞噬外源性的病毒,高达99%的外源性病毒会进入肝脏,因此当以病毒作为载体时并不需要做特异性设计即可在肝脏组织中富集,随后病毒载体被打开,释放出RNA分子(siRNA、shRNA或miRNA),肝脏组织自发地将上述RNA分子包裹进外泌体内部,这些外泌体就变成了RNA输送机构。
优选地,为了使该RNA输送机构(外泌体)具有“精确制导”的能力,在注入体内的病毒中我们设计了靶向标签,该靶向标签也会被肝脏组织组装到外泌体中,尤其是当选择某些特定的靶向标签时,靶向标签能够被插入外泌体表面,从而成为能够引导外泌体的靶向结构,这就大大提高了本发明所述的RNA输送机构的精准性,一方面可以使所需引入的病毒载体的用量大大减少,另一方面还大大提高了潜在药物递送的效率。
靶向标签选自具有靶向功能的肽、蛋白质或抗体中的一种,靶向标签的选择是需要创造性劳动的过程,一方面需要根据目标组织选取可用的靶向标签,另一方面还需要保证该靶向标签能够在稳定地出现在外泌体的表面,从而达到靶向功能。目前已经筛选出的靶向标签包括:靶向肽、靶向蛋白、抗体。其中,靶向肽包括但不限于RVG靶向肽(核苷酸序列如SEQ ID No:1所示)、GE11靶向肽(核苷酸序列如SEQ ID No:2所示)、PTP靶向肽(核苷酸序列如SEQ ID No:3所示)、TCP-1靶向肽(核苷酸序列如SEQ ID No:4所示)、MSP靶向肽(核苷酸序列如SEQ ID No:5所示);靶向蛋白包括但不限于RVG-LAMP2B融合蛋白(核苷酸序列如SEQ ID No:6所示)、GE11-LAMP2B融合蛋白(核苷酸序列如SEQ ID No:7所示)、PTP-LAMP2B融合蛋白(核苷酸序列如SEQ ID No:8所示)、TCP-1-LAMP2B融合蛋白(核苷酸序列如SEQ ID No:9所示)、MSP-LAMP2B融合蛋白(核苷酸序列如SEQ ID No:10所示)。
其中,RVG靶向肽、RVG-LAMP2B融合蛋白可以精准靶向脑组织;GE11靶向肽、GE11-LAMP2B融合蛋白可以精准靶向EGFR高表达的器官组织,比如EGFR突变的肺癌组织;PTP靶向肽、PTP-LAMP2B融合蛋白可以精准靶向胰腺,特别是人源及鼠源胰腺癌组织中特异性表达的plectin-1蛋白;TCP-1靶向肽、TCP-1-LAMP2B融合蛋白可以精准靶向结肠;MSP靶向肽、MSP-LAMP2B融合蛋白可以精准靶向肌肉组织。
在实际应用中,靶向标签可以灵活搭配各种不同的RNA片段,不同的靶向标签搭配不同的RNA片段可以起到不同的作用。比如:RVG靶向肽、RVG-LAMP2B融合蛋白可以搭配EGFR基因的siRNA、T NC基因的siRNA或二者的组合治疗胶质母细胞瘤,GE11靶向肽、GE11-LAMP2B融合蛋白可以搭配EGFR基因的siRNA治疗由EGFR基因高表达或突变诱导的肺癌等疾病;TCP-1靶向肽或TCP-1-LAMP2B融合蛋白可以搭配TNF-α基因的siRNA、integrin-α基因的siRNA、B7基因的siRNA或上述三者的任意组合治疗结肠癌等。
此外,为了达到精准递送的目的,我们实验了多种病毒载体搭载的方案,得出另一优化的方案:所述病毒载体还可以由具有不同结构的多种病毒构成,其中一种病毒包含启动子和靶向标签,其他病毒包含启动子和RNA片段。即将靶向标签与RNA片段装载到不同的病毒载体中,将两种病毒载体注入体内,其靶向效果不差于将相同的靶向标签与RNA片段装载在一个病毒载体中产生的靶向效果。
更优选地,两种不同的病毒载体注入宿主体内时,可以先将装有RNA序列的病毒载体注入,在1-2小时后再注入含有靶向标签的病毒载体,如此能够达到更优的靶向效果。
以上所述的递送系统均可用于包括人在内的哺乳动物。
本实施例提供的用于治疗癌症的RNA递送系统以病毒作为载体,病毒载体作为成熟的注入物,其安全性和可靠性已被充分验证,成药性非常好。最终发挥效果的RNA序列由内源性外泌体包裹输送,不存在任何免疫反应,无需验证该外泌体的安全性。该递送系统可以递送各类小分子RNA,通用性强。并且病毒载体的制备要比外泌体或是蛋白质、多肽等物质的制备便宜地多,经济性好。本实施例提供的用于治疗癌症的RNA递送系统在体内自组装后能够与AGO 2紧密结合并富集为复合结构(外泌体),不仅能防止其过早降解,维持其在循环中的稳定性,而且有利于受体细胞吸收、胞浆内释放和溶酶体逃逸,所需剂量低。

统计各组小鼠在治疗后的100天内的生存情况,结果如图2A所示,可以看出,PBS组和AAV-CMV-scrR组小鼠存活率相差无几,而AAV-CMV-EGFR siRNA组小鼠存活率最高。
给药前后分别对各组小鼠进行CT扫描,结果如图2E所示,根据图2E的CT影像图对小鼠肺组织进行3D建模,并计算肿瘤体积大小,结果如图2B所示。在图2B中,“PBS pre”表示给药前的PBS组,“PBS post”表示给药后的PBS组;“AAV-CMV-scrR pre”表示给药前的AAV-CMV-scrR组,“AAV-CMV-scrR post”表示给药后的AAV-CMV-scrR组;“AAV-CMV-EGFR siRNA pre”表示给药前的AAV-CMV-EGFR siRNA组,“AAV-CMV-EGFR siRNA post”表示给药后的AAV-CMV-EGFR siRNA组。可以看出,AAV-CMV-EGFR siRNA组的小鼠在给药后肿瘤体积显著减小,而PBS组和AAV-CMV-scrR组的小鼠在给药后肿瘤体积不仅没有减小,还呈现不同程度的增加。
分别通过RT-qPCR和Western blotting检测各组小鼠肺部EGFR蛋白和mRNA表达水平,结果如图2C、图2D所示。结果显示AAV-CMV-EGFR siRNA组的小鼠肺部EGFR蛋白和mRNA表达量相对于对照组有所降低。
以上试验说明,AAV-CMV-EGFR siRNA对EGFR突变型小鼠肺癌肿瘤具有显著的治疗效果。
在第四个试验中,设置2个试验组和2个对照组,其中,试验组为AAV-CMV-KRAS siRNA组、AAV-CMV-EGFR siRNA组,对照组为PBS组和AAV-CMV-scrR组。

在治疗后分别检测各组小鼠中谷丙转氨酶(ALT)、谷草转氨酶(AST)、总胆红素(TBIL)、血清碱性磷酸酶(ALP)、肌酐(CREA)、血尿素氮(BUN)的含量,结果如图3A-图3F所示,可见,PBS组、AAV-CMV-scrR组、AAV-CMV-EGFR siRNA组、AAV-CMV-KRAS siRNA组小鼠中上述酶的含量均相差无几。
以上试验可以说明,用肝脏高亲和的AAV-5型腺相关病毒包裹EGFR siRNA系统(AAV-CMV-EGFR siRNA)和KRAS siRNA系统(AAV-CMV-KRAS siRNA)安全性好,可靠性高,不会产生负面作用,适于大规模推广和应用。
实施例4
在实施例1或2的基础上,本实施例提供一种用于治疗胶质母细胞瘤的RNA递送系统在药物中的应用。在此通过以下试验进行具体说明。
在此试验中,利用肝脏高亲和的AAV-5型腺相关病毒包裹EGFR siRNA系统(AAV-CMV-RVG-siR E)和EGFR siRNA和TNC siRNA系统(AAV-CMV-RVG-siR E+T),尾静脉注射100μL滴度为10 12V.g/ml的AAV溶液至小鼠体内。通过小动物活体监测AAV系统的体内表达情况,3周后可见AAV系统在体内尤其是肝脏,稳定表达。
随即选取小鼠,向小鼠体内注射胶质母细胞瘤细胞(U-87MG-Luc细胞),自第7天开始至第21天,期间每两日向小鼠注射一次PBS缓冲液/AAV-CMV-scrR/AAV-CMV-RVG-siR E/AAV-CMV-RVG-siR E+T(5mg/kg)进行治疗,形成PBS组/AAV-scrR组/AAV-CMV-RVG-siR E组/AAV-CMV-RVG-siR E+T组组。
分别对各组小鼠进行生存分析,统计各组小鼠在接受治疗后20天、40天、60天、80天的存活率,结果如图4A所示,可以看出AAV-CMV-RVG-siR E+T组小鼠的生存时间最长,AAV-CMV-RVG-siR E组次 之。
分别对各组小鼠进行肿瘤评估,即在第7天、14天、28天、35天分别对小鼠进行BLI活体成像检测,结果如图4B所示,可以看出AAV-CMV-RVG-siR E+T组小鼠其胶质母细胞瘤的抑制效果最为显著。
