- excipient dileucine (also called diLeu)
- leucine also referred to as Leu
- DOTMA lipid component
- DODMA DODMA
- PEG derivatives PEG derivatives
- cholesterol Chol
- the mixed solution was quickly frozen by spraying it into liquid nitrogen (500 mL) 15 cm below the nozzle tip at 150 kPa. .
- the sample solution was fed at a rate of 5 mL/min, and spraying was continued for 60 seconds when the volume of the mixed solution was 2.5 mL, and for 90 seconds when the volume was 5 mL.
- the obtained ice droplets were placed in a rectangular dry chamber (DRC-1000 Tokyo Rika Kikai Co., Ltd.) connected to a freeze dryer (FDU-210 Tokyo Rika Kikai Co., Ltd.) and continuously heated at -40°C for 24 h or more under vacuum conditions.
- the desired powder was obtained by drying at 25° C. for 12 hours or more.
- As the PEG derivative a conjugate of PEG with Mn of 5000 was used.
- siRNA siGL3 or fluorescently labeled siGL3 (Cy5.5-siGL3)
- excipient dileucine or leucine
- lipid component DOTMA, DODMA
- PEG derivative, Chol PEG derivative, Chol
- the experiment was conducted as follows. Each powder was dissolved in 10 mM HEPES buffer (pH 7.4) so that the siRNA/lipid concentration was 0.2 mg/mL, and after standing for 30 minutes, the siRNA-loaded lipid particles (siRNA-LNP) in the solution were dissolved. Particle size distribution and zeta potential were measured by dynamic electrophoretic light scattering (Zetasizer Nano ZS manufactured by Malvern). The standard values were 300 nm as the average particle diameter and 0.4 as the polydispersity index (PdI), and when both analytical values were below the standard values, it was determined that the sample had "good ability to form lipid particles.” The results are shown in FIG.
- siRNA-LNP No clear difference in the physical properties of siRNA-LNP was observed depending on the presence or absence of Cy5.5 chemical modification to siRNA and the chemical structure of the lipophilic portion of the PEG derivative. Almost similar results were obtained with leucine and dileucine, but under the condition with the highest siRNA/lipid content (dileucine/leucine #4), dileucine had a higher average particle diameter and PdI value of siRNA-LNP. was small, suggesting the superiority of dileucine in preparing siRNA/high lipid content formulations.
- Example 6 In vitro gene silencing effect and cytotoxicity of siRNA-loaded lipid particles formed by dissolving powder
- luciferase-expressing human lung cancer cells A549-Luc cells
- luciferin and Alamar Blue reagent were added at a predetermined time, and the luminescence corresponding to luciferase expression and the fluorescence (excitation wavelength: 465 nm, fluorescence wavelength: 600 nm) due to reaction with the Alamar Blue reagent were measured using an in vivo imaging system ( Detection and intensity analysis were performed using IVIS, Perkinelmer). Based on the obtained luminescence/fluorescence intensity, Gene expression and Cell viability were calculated using the following formulas. The results are shown in FIG.
- the obtained supernatant was added to a microplate, and fluorescence derived from Cy5.5 was detected and intensity analyzed using a fluorescence image analyzer (Amersham Typhoonscanner 5 system, GE Healthcare). Subsequently, this supernatant was subjected to denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), and a band corresponding to Cy5.5-siGL3 in the gel was detected using a fluorescent image analyzer in the same manner. The presence of Cy5.5-siGL3 was confirmed. For comparison, a solution of Cy5.5-siGL3 alone (naked siRNA) was also added and evaluated in the same manner. The results are shown in FIG.
- the fluorescence intensity of the measurement sample (cell lysate) ( Figure 9(a)) and the band density in the electrophoretic image ( Figure 9(b)) were correlated to some extent. It was determined that the difference in intensity reflects the difference in the dynamics of Cy5.5-siGL3 itself (the influence of fluorescence derived from decomposition products or dissociated Cy5.5 is small). Compared to naked siRNA, the fluorescence intensity was higher in the siRNA-LNP addition group formed from each powder, suggesting that the cell binding/uptake ability of siRNA was increased by lipid particle formation.
- the fluorescence intensity is higher in the order of "PEG-Chol > PEG-DMG > PEG-DSPE" (comparison of leucine #2', #9', #10'), and as a result of gene silencing effect in cultured cells ( Since this corresponds to Fig. 8), it is considered that the difference in the gene silencing effect was caused by the difference in the cell binding/uptake ability of siRNA-LNP depending on the PEG derivative. It was confirmed that when dileucine was used as an excipient like leucine, siRNA-LNPs with similarly high fluorescence intensity and excellent cell binding/uptake ability were formed.
- the fluorescence intensity of the dileucine preparation was lower than that of the leucine preparation (leucine #3') with the same siRNA/lipid content, but this difference is due to the difference in fluorescence intensity during siRNA-LNP formation (same Cy5. Comparing the fluorescence intensity of the powder solution with 5-siGL3 concentration, it seems that this is due to the fact that dileucine #3 has a lower fluorescence intensity.
- the concentration of fluorescein sodium was determined using a multimode plate reader (EnSpire, PerkinElmer Japan Co., Ltd.) to quantify the amount (excitation wavelength: 490 nm, fluorescence wavelength: 515 nm), and calculate the recovery amount and recovery rate for each part. Dilution and quantification were performed as necessary.
- RNA extracts prepared from the excised lungs
- a band corresponding to Cy5.5-siGL3 in the gel was detected using a fluorescence image analyzer. The presence of Cy5.5-siGL3 was confirmed.
- Cy5.5-siGL3 alone solution naked siRNA
- each Cy5.5-siGL3-containing powder solution dileucine/leucine #3'solution
- Fluorescence intensity in areas other than the lungs analyzed from in vivo fluorescence imaging images was lower in the group administered with each powder and its solution compared to the group administered with naked siRNA. -LNP formation) to avoid siRNA degradation and systemic translocation. From the electrophoretic image of the lung tissue sample ( Figure 11(c)), a band corresponding to Cy5.5-siGL3 could not be detected in the naked siRNA administration group, so the fluorescence detected in the lung region ( Figure 11(b) )) was determined to be due to a degradation product of Cy5.5-siGL3 or dissociated Cy5.5.
