测定mRNA平均分子量以及Cap0/1、修饰核苷酸及氧化物的方法Method for determining the average molecular weight of mRNA and Cap0/1, modified nucleotides and oxides

技术领域technical field
本发明属于生物医药领域,具体涉及一种测定样品中mRNA平均分子量的方法及其应用,所述应用特别涉及一种测定mRNA平均分子量以及Cap0/1、修饰核苷酸及氧化物的方法。The invention belongs to the field of biomedicine, and specifically relates to a method for measuring the average molecular weight of mRNA in a sample and an application thereof. The application particularly relates to a method for measuring the average molecular weight of mRNA, Cap0/1, modified nucleotides and oxides.
背景技术Background technique
药用mRNA技术的快速发展对mRNA大规模生产的工艺、产率、质量以及成本等提出了很大的挑战,特别是在mRNA疫苗的超大规模生产过程当中,对于mRNA自身的质量控制更是显得尤为重要。The rapid development of medicinal mRNA technology poses great challenges to the process, yield, quality and cost of large-scale production of mRNA. Especially in the process of large-scale production of mRNA vaccines, the quality control of mRNA itself is even more important. especially important.
5’CAP作为mRNA的重要结构,是mRNA稳定存在并进行蛋白质高效率表达的重要保证。现阶段通过体外转录方法合成的mRNA主要通过帽子类似物和加帽酶的方法对mRNA进行加帽,最终的mRNA产品是否进行了正确的加帽并取得合格的加帽效率则成为了评价mRNA产品的重要指标。并且对于不同的应用场景需要对mRNA加帽的种类进行区分,也就是需要精确测定mRNA的CAP 0和CAP 1的占比。现有加帽效率的测定方法是将mRNA水解后测定m7G与A,U,C,G四种碱基的比例来比较出mRNA的加帽效率,但是由于体外转录的工艺限制,mRNA的纯度无法达到100%,所以基于此类方法不能够准确测定mRNA的加帽效率。同时对于不同种类不同序列的mRNA需要准确知道各碱基的个数才可以进行测量,所以方法并不具有通用性。As an important structure of mRNA, 5'CAP is an important guarantee for the stable existence of mRNA and high-efficiency protein expression. At this stage, the mRNA synthesized by in vitro transcription method is mainly capped by capping analogs and capping enzymes. Whether the final mRNA product is correctly capped and has a qualified capping efficiency becomes the key factor for evaluating mRNA products. important indicators. And for different application scenarios, it is necessary to distinguish the types of mRNA capping, that is, it is necessary to accurately determine the proportion of CAP 0 and CAP 1 of mRNA. The existing method for measuring the capping efficiency is to measure the ratio of m7G to A, U, C, and G after hydrolyzing the mRNA to compare the capping efficiency of the mRNA. However, due to the limitation of the in vitro transcription process, the purity of the mRNA cannot It reaches 100%, so the capping efficiency of mRNA cannot be accurately determined based on this method. At the same time, for different kinds of mRNAs with different sequences, it is necessary to accurately know the number of each base before they can be measured, so the method is not universal.
此外,利用常规ATP、GTP、CTP、UTP并体外转录技术取得的mRNA 会引发机体的自有免疫反应,导致mRNA的降解。修饰核苷酸如假尿苷、5甲基胞嘧啶的加入可以有效的抑制mRNA自身的免疫原性,防止mRNA在体内被降解,并可以延长mRNA在细胞内的表达时间,提高表达效率。所以修饰核苷酸在整个mRNA的占比也是评价mRNA产品的重要指标,经过充分修饰的mRNA才能够拥有较好的功能性。In addition, the mRNA obtained by conventional ATP, GTP, CTP, UTP and in vitro transcription techniques will trigger the body's own immune response, leading to the degradation of mRNA. The addition of modified nucleotides such as pseudouridine and 5-methylcytosine can effectively inhibit the immunogenicity of mRNA itself, prevent mRNA from being degraded in vivo, prolong the expression time of mRNA in cells, and improve expression efficiency. Therefore, the proportion of modified nucleotides in the entire mRNA is also an important indicator for evaluating mRNA products. Only fully modified mRNA can have better functionality.
体外转录的mRNA不可避免的会与空气中的氧气发生接触并导致mRNA的氧化,这当中的氧化产物则以8氧鸟苷为主,8氧鸟苷会导致转录出错,影响蛋白的正确表达。能够准确的判断mRNA氧化产物是评判mRNA药物的一个重要标准。The mRNA transcribed in vitro will inevitably come into contact with oxygen in the air and lead to the oxidation of mRNA. The oxidation product is mainly 8-oxoguanosine. 8-oxoguanosine will cause transcription errors and affect the correct expression of proteins. Being able to accurately judge mRNA oxidation products is an important criterion for evaluating mRNA drugs.
迄今为止,非常多的方法已经被开发用于mRNA产品的检测,比如通过电泳来判断mRNA的长度及纯度,通过PCR及测序技术判断mRNA的序列正确性及Poly A尾巴长度。通过HPLC,GC/MS,LC/MS的方法对加帽效率,修饰核苷酸占比和氧化产物的检测也已经被开发出来。例如专利申请WO2017149139A1中所涉及的方法,然而该方法仅适用于mRNA的纯度为100%时的加帽效率测定。受限于mRNA的生产工艺,mRNA纯度不可能达到100%,所以有大量截短的mRNA仍然会被加帽,这样会导致mRNA的加帽效率测定时会大于100%,所以该方法在原理上是不精确的。可见,现有的所有方法因无法精确测定待测样品中mRNA的物质的量导致难以精确测定加帽效率。So far, many methods have been developed for the detection of mRNA products, such as judging the length and purity of mRNA by electrophoresis, and judging the correctness of mRNA sequence and the length of Poly A tail by PCR and sequencing technology. The detection of capping efficiency, proportion of modified nucleotides and oxidation products by HPLC, GC/MS, LC/MS methods has also been developed. For example, the method involved in the patent application WO2017149139A1, however, this method is only applicable to the determination of capping efficiency when the purity of mRNA is 100%. Limited by the production process of mRNA, the purity of mRNA cannot reach 100%, so a large number of truncated mRNA will still be capped, which will cause the mRNA capping efficiency to be greater than 100%, so the method is in principle is imprecise. It can be seen that all existing methods are difficult to accurately measure the capping efficiency due to the inability to accurately measure the amount of mRNA in the sample to be tested.

现有技术中因mRNA纯度检测并不准确,所以基于此类方法测定的加帽效率、修饰核苷酸占比及mRNA氧化的结果并不准确。本方法创造性地 利用毛细管电泳对mRNA的纯度及链长分布进行精确的测定,并将mRNA完全水解后对RNA的例如,7-甲基-鸟苷,2-甲氧基-鸟苷,体外转录时添加的修饰核苷酸,8-氧-鸟苷等特征性化合物进行测定,无需预先测定或知道mRNA的序列及各种不同碱基的含量,通过本发明登载的算法即可精确测得mRNA的CAP0、CAP1,修饰核苷酸及氧化物比例。实现对mRNA质量的精确评价。In the prior art, the detection of mRNA purity is not accurate, so the results of capping efficiency, proportion of modified nucleotides and mRNA oxidation based on this method are not accurate. This method creatively uses capillary electrophoresis to accurately measure the purity and chain length distribution of mRNA, and after the mRNA is completely hydrolyzed, for example, 7-methyl-guanosine, 2-methoxy-guanosine, in vitro transcription When adding modified nucleotides, 8-oxo-guanosine and other characteristic compounds to measure, without pre-determining or knowing the sequence of mRNA and the content of various bases, mRNA can be accurately measured by the algorithm published in the present invention The proportion of CAP0, CAP1, modified nucleotides and oxides. Accurate evaluation of mRNA quality is achieved.

3、利用本发明的算法计算mRNA的各项指标。3. Using the algorithm of the present invention to calculate various indexes of mRNA.
1)精确标定样品中mRNA的质量浓度。1) Accurately calibrate the mass concentration of mRNA in the sample.
首先利用Nanodrop精确测定样品中mRNA的质量浓度,Nanodrop可以选用Thermo Scientific NanoDrop One,Mettler Toledo UV5 Nano等类似设备。First, use Nanodrop to accurately measure the mass concentration of mRNA in the sample. Nanodrop can use Thermo Scientific NanoDrop One, Mettler Toledo UV5 Nano and other similar equipment.
2)精确测定样品mRNA的平均分子质量。2) Accurately measure the average molecular mass of the sample mRNA.
考虑到依据现有的体外转录法进行mRNA大规模合成的成品mRNA很难达到100%纯度,所以仅仅使用经验公式:Considering that it is difficult to achieve 100% purity of the finished mRNA for large-scale synthesis of mRNA based on the existing in vitro transcription method, so only the empirical formula is used:
MW(RNA)=(A×329.2)+(U×306.2)+(C×305.2)+(G×345.2)+159MW(RNA)=(A×329.2)+(U×306.2)+(C×305.2)+(G×345.2)+159
无法进行准确的mRNA的分子量进行计算。Unable to perform accurate mRNA molecular weight calculations.
本发明使用利用毛细管电泳图谱与创新性算法相结合,无需知晓mRNA碱基序列及各碱基个数的前提下就可以对样品mRNA序列进行精确标定从而计算Cap0、Cap1、修饰核苷酸及氧化物的含量。The present invention uses the capillary electrophoresis map combined with an innovative algorithm to accurately calibrate the sample mRNA sequence without knowing the mRNA base sequence and the number of each base to calculate Cap0, Cap1, modified nucleotides and oxidation substance content.
当mRNA的纯度为100%时,mRNA的分子量的计算方法如下:When the purity of mRNA is 100%, the calculation method of the molecular weight of mRNA is as follows:
mRNA分子量可以精确计算为:The molecular weight of mRNA can be accurately calculated as:
MW=(A×329.2)+(U×306.2)+(C×305.2)+(G×345.2)+159MW=(A×329.2)+(U×306.2)+(C×305.2)+(G×345.2)+159
当mRNA长度大于1000nt后mRNA分子量可以近似为:When the mRNA length is greater than 1000nt, the mRNA molecular weight can be approximated as:
MW=N×320.5+159(N=mRNA总碱基个数)MW=N×320.5+159 (N=number of total bases in mRNA)
但是基于现有mRNA制备工艺,100%纯度是不能达到的。如果mRNA的纯度无法达到100%,则需要利用mRNA的毛细管电泳图谱进行测定。However, based on the existing mRNA preparation process, 100% purity cannot be achieved. If the purity of mRNA cannot reach 100%, it needs to be determined by capillary electrophoresis pattern of mRNA.
将毛细管电泳图谱曲线定义为函数:Define the CE spectrum curve as a function:
R=f(N),N=mRNA总碱基个数,R=mRNA所占比例。R=f(N), N=number of total bases in mRNA, R=proportion of mRNA.
样品mRNA的平均分子量则可以由此计算得出:The average molecular weight of the sample mRNA can then be calculated as follows:
Figure PCTCN2022092044-appb-000015
Figure PCTCN2022092044-appb-000015
a为毛细管电泳图中可检测到的最短mRNA碱基个数,b为毛细管电泳图中可检测到的最长碱基个数。a is the shortest mRNA base number detectable in capillary electrophoresis, b is the longest base number detectable in capillary electrophoresis.
函数f(N)的求解为“求平面坐标系中任意曲线的函数表达式”,求解此函数可以借用高等数学的“多项式拟合方程”,或者借用Python及MatLab进行求解。The solution of the function f(N) is "finding the function expression of any curve in the plane coordinate system". To solve this function, you can use the "polynomial fitting equation" of advanced mathematics, or use Python and MatLab to solve it.
此方程可以借助wolframalpha进行求解(https://www.wolframalpha.com/),或者采用本发明提供的近似算法:This equation can be solved with the help of wolframalpha (https://www.wolframalpha.com/), or using the approximate algorithm provided by the present invention:
将毛细管电泳图横坐标分为n(n≥10,本实施例中n=11)等分即a 1,a 2…a n-1,a n,其中a n=b(本实施例中b=2946)。其中R为区间(a n-1,a n)内的峰面积占比。 The abscissa of the capillary electrophoresis graph is divided into n (n ≥ 10, n=11 in this embodiment) equal parts, namely a 1 , a 2 ... a n-1 , a n , where a n = b (b in this embodiment =2946). Where R is the proportion of the peak area in the interval (a n-1 , a n ).

Figure PCTCN2022092044-appb-000019
Figure PCTCN2022092044-appb-000019
其中7-甲基-鸟嘌呤核苷(7-methyl Guanosine)是CAP0结构的标志物,每个完整的mRNA有且仅有一个7-甲基-鸟嘌呤核苷(7-methyl Guanosine):Among them, 7-methyl-guanosine (7-methyl Guanosine) is a marker of the CAP0 structure, and each complete mRNA has and only one 7-methyl-guanosine (7-methyl Guanosine):
Figure PCTCN2022092044-appb-000020
Figure PCTCN2022092044-appb-000020
因此可以通过精确测定7-甲基-鸟嘌呤核苷(7-methyl Guanosine)的含量,样品mRNA的CAP0占比可以计算为:Therefore, by accurately measuring the content of 7-methyl-guanosine (7-methyl Guanosine), the CAP0 ratio of the sample mRNA can be calculated as:
CAP0%=7-甲基-鸟嘌呤核苷(7-methyl Guanosine)物质的量/mRNA物 质的量×100%。CAP0% = amount of 7-methyl-guanosine (7-methyl Guanosine) substance/amount of mRNA substance × 100%.
根据实验测得结果CAP0%=2.96E-05μmoL/3.32E-05μmoL=89%。According to the experimental results, CAP0%=2.96E-05 μmoL/3.32E-05 μmoL=89%.
7-甲基-鸟嘌呤核苷(7-methyl Guanosine)与2-氧甲基-鸟嘌呤核苷(2-OMe-Guanosine)通过三磷酸键相连的复合结构是mRNA的CAP1结构的标志物,每个完整的mRNA有且仅有一个7-甲基-鸟嘌呤核苷(7-methyl Guanosine)与2’-氧甲基-鸟嘌呤核苷(2’-OMe-Guanosine)的复合结构。因此通过测定标志物2’-氧甲基-鸟嘌呤核苷(2’-OMe-Guanosine)的物质的量即可得到CAP1的占比:The complex structure of 7-methyl-guanosine (7-methyl Guanosine) and 2-oxymethyl-guanosine (2-OMe-Guanosine) connected by a triphosphate bond is a marker of the CAP1 structure of mRNA. Each complete mRNA has one and only one complex structure of 7-methyl-guanosine (7-methyl Guanosine) and 2'-oxymethyl-guanosine (2'-OMe-Guanosine). Therefore, the proportion of CAP1 can be obtained by measuring the amount of the marker 2'-oxymethyl-guanosine (2'-OMe-Guanosine):
Figure PCTCN2022092044-appb-000021
Figure PCTCN2022092044-appb-000021
CAP1%=2’-氧甲基-鸟嘌呤核苷(2’-OMe-Guanosine)物质的量/mRNA物质的量×100%×CAP0%。CAP1%=the amount of 2'-oxymethyl-guanosine (2'-OMe-Guanosine) substance/the amount of mRNA substance×100%×CAP0%.
根据实验结果测得CAP1%=3.02E-05μmoL/3.32E-05μmoL×89%=81%。According to the experimental results, CAP1%=3.02E-05 μmoL/3.32E-05 μmoL×89%=81%.
4)修饰核苷酸占比测定4) Determination of the proportion of modified nucleotides
为提高药用mRNA的表达效率并延长表达时间,在体外转录的过程中往往需要加入假尿嘧啶核苷(Pseudouridine)、1-甲基-假尿嘧啶核苷(1-Methyl-Pseudouridine)、5-甲基-胞嘧啶核苷(5-Methyl-Cytidine)、4-乙酰-胞嘧啶核苷(4-Acetyl-Cytidine)以及6-甲基-腺嘌呤核苷(6-Methyl-Adenesine)等修饰核苷酸。In order to improve the expression efficiency of medicinal mRNA and prolong the expression time, it is often necessary to add pseudouridine (Pseudouridine), 1-methyl-pseudouridine (1-Methyl-Pseudouridine), 5 -Methyl-Cytidine (5-Methyl-Cytidine), 4-Acetyl-Cytidine (4-Acetyl-Cytidine) and 6-Methyl-Adenesine (6-Methyl-Adenesine) and other modifications Nucleotides.

为测定相应修饰核苷酸在mRNA样品中的占比可以利用如下公式进行计算。In order to determine the proportion of the corresponding modified nucleotide in the mRNA sample, the following formula can be used for calculation.

本实验可以精确测得:假尿嘧啶核苷(Pseudouridine)%=8.64nmoL/(8.64nmoL+2.97E-02nmoL)×100%=99.7%。This experiment can accurately measure: Pseudouridine %=8.64nmoL/(8.64nmoL+2.97E-02nmoL)×100%=99.7%.
1-甲基-假尿嘧啶核苷(1-Methyl-Pseudouridine)%=1-甲基-假尿嘧啶核苷(1-Methyl-Pseudouridine)物质的量/(1-甲基-假尿嘧啶核苷(1-Methyl-Pseudouridine)物质的量+尿嘧啶核苷(Uridine)物质的量)×100%。1-Methyl-Pseudouridine (1-Methyl-Pseudouridine)%=1-Methyl-Pseudouridine (1-Methyl-Pseudouridine) amount of substance/(1-Methyl-Pseudouridine nucleus Glycoside (1-Methyl-Pseudouridine) substance amount+uridine nucleoside (Uridine) substance amount)×100%.
5-甲基-胞嘧啶核苷(5-Methyl-Cytidine)%=5-甲基-胞嘧啶核苷(5-Methyl-Cytidine)物质的量/(5-甲基-胞嘧啶核苷(5-Methyl-Cytidine)物质的量+胞嘧啶核苷(Cytidine)物质的量)×100%。5-Methyl-Cytidine (5-Methyl-Cytidine) %=5-Methyl-Cytidine (5-Methyl-Cytidine) amount of substance/(5-Methyl-Cytidine (5 - the amount of Methyl-Cytidine) substance+the amount of Cytidine substance)×100%.
4-乙酰基胞嘧啶核苷(4-Acetyl-Cytidine)%=4-Acetyl-Cytidine物质的量/(4-Acetyl-Cytidine物质的量+Cytidine物质的量)×100%。4-Acetyl-Cytidine (4-Acetyl-Cytidine)%=Amount of 4-Acetyl-Cytidine/(Amount of 4-Acetyl-Cytidine+Amount of Cytidine)×100%.
6-甲基-腺嘌呤核苷(6-Methyl-Adenesine)%=6-甲基-腺嘌呤核苷(6-Methyl-Adenesine)物质的量/(6-甲基-腺嘌呤核苷(6-Methyl-Adenesine)物质的量+腺嘌呤核苷(Adenesine)物质的量)×100%。6-Methyl-Adenesine (6-Methyl-Adenesine)%=6-Methyl-Adenesine (6-Methyl-Adenesine) amount of substance/(6-Methyl-Adenesine (6 - the amount of Methyl-Adenesine) substance+the amount of adenosine (Adenesine) substance)×100%.
其它任意修饰核苷酸占比都可采用同样的方法进行精确计算。The ratio of any other modified nucleotides can be accurately calculated using the same method.
5)氧化产物占比测定5) Determination of the proportion of oxidation products
