Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for the chromatographic separation of a nucleic acid mixture, in particular for the separation and purification of plasmid DNA from other constituents of the nucleic acid mixture, in particular other nucleic acids.
- the method according to the invention is characterized in particular by the fact that plasmid DNA can be separated from contaminating RNA without the addition of ribonucleases and by the use of inexpensive and environmentally friendly components. These parameters make it possible to use this method for the production of plasmid DNA on a large scale.
- the present invention comprises the use of the plasmid DNA obtained by means of the method according to the invention for the production of a plasmid DNA-containing agent for use in gene therapy and genetic vaccination.
- a fundamental problem with the purification of plasmids is the removal of other nucleic acid species from the product. This problem arises above all in areas in which a particularly pure plasmid DNA preparation is required, for example when the plasmid DNA is used in gene therapy.
- the other nucleic acid species mentioned are, above all, the various RNAs, but also genomic DNA and ssDNA (single stranded), etc.
- a particular difficulty is the removal of the RNA.
- the removal of the RNA using ribonucleases is known from the prior art. The RNA is degraded to ribonucleotides by means of the ribonucleases, which can be separated from the plasmid DNA much more easily in a subsequent chromatographic separation process.
- the massive disadvantage of this method is the use of an RNase, which is usually a foreign protein.
- the RNase is obtained from animal material, usually from cattle.
- the addition of animal proteins in production processes must be ruled out due to possible contamination of the product with bacterial, viral or proteinogenic pathogens. This is particularly true for bovine proteins due to the BSE problem.
- the use of RNase and also alcohol-containing buffers is a major cost factor. This is a cost factor that should not be underestimated, particularly in the production of plasmid DNA on a large scale, that is to say in ranges of approximately> 2 g.
- alcohol there is an additional burden on the employees involved and the environment as a significant factor.
- the alkaline lysis described in principle by Bimborn and Dohly (Nucl. Acids Res. 7, pp. 1513-1522; 1979) is preferred, but not limited thereto.
- Other options are lysis by heat or lysis in the presence of detergents. Lysis by high pressure (French press) has proven to be unsuitable because the high shear forces that arise result in very small fragments of genomic DNA, which are practically no longer separable from the plasmid DNA.
- Chromatographic methods are known from the prior art for purifying the nucleic acids from such a lysate. A distinction is generally made between two methods. First, the method according to Gillespie and Vogelstein (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sei., USA, 76 pp. 615 - 619; 1979) is known from the prior art. In this method, the nucleic acid is purified by binding to silica gel or diatomaceous earth in the presence of chaotropic salts, e.g. GuHCI, NaI, etc. In contrast to the anion exchanger, the
- Proteins are not suitable for use in gene therapy.
- the technical problem on which the method according to the invention is based is the purification of plasmid DNA from a nucleic acid mixture and the improvement in the separation of contaminants such as RNA, ssDNA and genomic DNA without using an RNase.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a method which allows plasmids to be purified inexpensively and in an environmentally friendly manner even on a large scale.
- the technical problem on which the invention is based is solved by a method according to the claims.
- a) the nucleic acid mixture with one or more alkali metal salts and / or alkaline earth metal salts in an aqueous solution is adjusted to a conductivity which has a conductivity of Corresponds to 70 mS to 95 mS at a pH of 4.8 to 5.4 and at a temperature of 20 ° C, and b) the nucleic acid mixture is brought into contact with a chromatographic support material, and a) the support material is then contacted at least once with a Solution containing an alkali salt in a concentration range of 900 mM to 1800 mM based on a pH of 7 to 7.4 and / or an alkaline earth metal salt in a concentration range of 100 mM to 240 mM
- the cells which may be prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells, must first be lysed. This can be done in the manner described above.
- the alkaline lysis described in principle by Birnborn and Dohly (Nucl. Acids Res. 7, pp. 1513-1522; 1979) is preferred, but not limited thereto.
- Other options are lysis by heat or lysis in the presence of detergents. Lysis by high pressure (French press) has proven to be unsuitable, since the high shear forces created result in very small fragments of genomic DNA which are practically no longer separable from the plasmid DNA.
- a nucleic acid mixture in the sense of the invention can be a cell lysate as well as a pre-cleaned or clarified lysate, but can also be an artificial mixture in which plasmid DNA is contaminated with at least one further nucleic acid species and possibly other contaminants.
- the nucleic acid mixture is a prokaryotic clarified lysate.
- the method according to the invention ensures the chromatographic separation of the contaminants mentioned and provides a plasmid DNA which meets the purity requirements for use in gene therapy or genetic vaccination.
- the person skilled in the art understands chromatography as a collective term for the physical-chemical separation of substance mixtures due to their different distribution between a stationary phase and a mobile phase.
- an anion exchange material is used to separate the plasmid DNA from the contaminants.
- the commercially available material QIAGEN ® QIAGEN GmbH, Hilden, Germany
- This material enables a very efficient separation of the RNA by means of the method according to the invention, but also from eg ssDNA, from plasmid DNA.
- RNA and ssDNA elute in a distinct peak which, in the method according to the invention, is very far from the likewise very distinct peak of the plasmid DNA.
- the risk of co-elution of plasmid DNA and RNA or ssDNA is thus significantly reduced compared to the methods known from the prior art.
- the chromatographic support material available under the name QIAGEN ® (QIAGEN GmbH, Hilden, Germany) is a modified porous inorganic material.
- QIAGEN ® QIAGEN GmbH, Hilden, Germany
- silica gel, diatomaceous earth, glass, aluminum oxides, titanium oxides, zirconium oxides, hydroxylapatite and organic support materials such as dextran, agarose, acrylamide, polystyrene resins or copolymers of the monomeric constituents of the materials mentioned are suitable as inorganic support materials.
- the anion exchanger which is preferably used in the process according to the invention is, for example, by reacting one of the abovementioned support materials in a first step with a silanizing reagent of the general formula I.

Abstract
L'invention concerne un procédé de séparation chromatographique d'un mélange d'acides nucléiques, notamment pour séparer et épurer un ADN plasmidique des autres constituants d'un mélange d'acides nucléiques, en particulier des autres acides nucléiques. L'invention est caractérisée en ce que l'ADN plasmidique est séparé d'ARN contaminants sans apport de ribonucléases, en utilisant des éléments peu coûteux et respectueux de l'environnement. Ces paramètres permettent d'appliquer ce procédé pour produire des ADN plasmidiques à grande échelle ( production de série'). La présente invention porte également sur l'utilisation de l'ADN plasmidique obtenu selon ce procédé pour réaliser un agent contenant un ADN plasmidique pour la thérapie génique et la vaccination génétique.
