- Example 1 in the case of the modified ZEGFR-CAR (ZEGFR-MH-TM-10z-B) in which the ITAM motif of CD28 is removed, the ZEGFR-CAR designed in Example 1 (in FIG. 8) Example containing the ITAM motif of CD28 as well as the cytotoxicity of transient CAR-NK cells against the breast cancer cell line AU565, as well as the lowered CAR expression rate compared to 'ZEGFR-MH-TM-28-10z-B') It was confirmed that it fell short of the ZEGFR-CAR designed in 1.
- the mRNA of the modified ZEGFR-CARs was transformed into NK92 cells as described above to prepare transient CAR-NK cells, and CAR expression and cytotoxicity of the transient CAR-NK cells were measured as described above. .
- FIG. 11a is a schematic diagram of the constructs arranged next to the T7 promoter in the template vector for synthesizing the 7 types of mRNA constructs listed in Table 1 below, and Table 2 below is introduced into the 5'-UTR and 3'-UTR of ZEGFR-CAR. It shows the DNA sequence of one component.
- the base sequences of the gene constructs encoding the 7 types of mRNA constructs designed as described above were inserted into the pBluescript SK(-) vector (Addgene), and in vitro transcription and mRNA constructs 1 to 7 were prepared by poly(A) tailing.
- 5'-Cap and 3'-Poly (A) tails are bound to the 7 types of mRNAs obtained as described above.
- Example [5-1] The 7 types of mRNAs obtained in Example [5-1] were transfected into NK92 cells with a voltage of 110 V using the Nepa 21 system used in Example 2 to prepare transient CAR-NK cells. .
- the amount of mRNA remaining in the cytoplasm after being injected into NK92 cells over time was confirmed by RT-PCR.
- Example [5-2] Furthermore, for the 7 types of transient CAR-NK cells prepared in Example [5-2], the expression level of the CAR protein expressed at 8 hours after the mRNA was injected into NK92 cells was measured. As criterion (1), the translational stability of the mRNA construct over time was evaluated.
- transient CAR-NK cells prepared in Example [5-2] were injected into NK92 cells, and 18 hours later, the same method as in Example 3 was performed.
- the transient CAR-NK cells were treated with breast cancer cell line AU565 and lung cancer cell line A549, respectively, and cytotoxicity to cancer cells was evaluated.
- the transient CAR-NK cells had a level and pattern corresponding to the protein expression rate confirmed in Example 5-3.
- the cytotoxicity of was confirmed, and the secretion of IFN ⁇ and TNF ⁇ , which are a series of reactions occurring during the cell lysis process, was also confirmed to appear at the level and pattern corresponding to the protein expression rate confirmed in Example 5-3.
- Example 1 In order to confirm the effect of the IRES and BGH sequences located in the 3'-UTR of the mRNA structure on the structural stability, translational stability and cytotoxicity of mRNA, the anti-cotinine-CAR designed in Example 1 was targeted. 5'-UTR and 3'-UTR were designed as shown in Table 3 below, and mRNA was obtained in the same manner as in Example [5-1], followed by electrophoresis. The mRNA obtained as described above has a 5'-Cap and a 3'-Poly(A) tail bound thereto, similarly to the mRNA obtained in Example [5-1].
- the IRES is included during mRNA synthesis during in vitro transcription. Two bands of the transcript and the IRES-deleted transcript were identified, whereas in the case of the 'UTR-CAR-IRES-BGH' construct in which the IRES is located in front of the BGH, a single band of the transcript containing the IRES was identified. only confirmed
- the mRNA obtained as described above was transformed into NK92 cells in the same manner as in Examples [5-2] to [5-4], and structural stability, translational stability, and cytotoxicity of the mRNA construct were evaluated.
- structures No. 2, 3, and 4 in Table 4 are designed so that poly(A) tails exist in the structures themselves, so poly(A) tailing does not proceed separately after in vitro transfer, and structure No. 5 in Table 4 is Although the poly(A) tail does not exist in the structure itself, the poly(A) tail is attached by additional poly(A) tailing after in vitro transcription.
- the 5 types of mRNs designed and obtained as described above were transformed into NK92 cells and primary NK cells under optimal conditions in the same manner as in Example 2 above to construct transient CAR-NK cells.
- the protein expression level of CAR and its cytotoxicity to cancer cells were confirmed.
- construct No. 2 in the case of constructs No. 2 to 4 having a poly(A) tail in the construct itself, in NK92 cells, construct No. 2 is more effective in protein expression or breast cancer cell line AU65 than construct No. 1 without the poly(A) tail. Although the cytotoxicity was high, it was confirmed that the protein expression or cytotoxicity to the breast cancer cell line AU565 was lower than that of constructs 3 and 4, respectively. In addition, constructs 3 and 4 of Nos. 3 and 4 were confirmed to stably express the protein and exhibit cytotoxicity at a level or aspect corresponding to the expression rate (FIG. 16a).
- construct 5 showed the highest level of protein expression, but the cytotoxicity against breast cancer cell line AU565 was found to be highest in construct 3 containing 150 bp of adenosine (A) (FIG. 16b ).
Abstract
La présente invention concerne une structure d'ARNm comprenant une séquence d'acide nucléique, codant pour une protéine ou un peptide cible, et une séquence d'acide nucléique poly A, ayant une longueur de 20 nt à 500 nt et connectée en aval de la séquence d'acide nucléique codant pour une protéine ou un peptide cible. On s'attend à ce que la structure de l'ARNm soit structurellement stable dans le cytoplasme après avoir été introduite dans les cellules et permette à une protéine cible remplissant pleinement ses fonctions d'être exprimée pendant une longue période, et contribue ainsi à une utilisation robuste d'une technologie de transformation transitoire.
