Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for improving the transfection efficiency of non-viral gene delivery systems, as well as a
- Composition for it and an associated modular system Composition for it and an associated modular system.
- nucleic acids DNA, RNA, etc.
- transfection a key technology in modern biotechnology because it provides access to the central
- Control apparatus of a cell and thus, for example, the production or switching off certain proteins allowed.
- Transfection with DNA or mRNA allows the expression (production) of any protein that allows transfection with siRNA, ribozymes or antisense molecules, for example by RNA interference, the "knockdown" of a gene or a protein MicroRNA can be introduced into cells and influence regulatory functions, a key technology found in both
- this key technology makes it possible to replace genes destroyed in human cells by mutation and thus to heal malfunctions. It is also possible, for example, to force cancer cells to commit suicide by means of suicidal genes. "Knock-down" of a gene is another way of acting in a healing manner, for example by producing important genes for
- Knock-down is understood as a weakening or elimination of the translation of an mRNA into a protein during protein biosynthesis. Many diseases are triggered by a mismanagement of cells that could be abrogated by microRNA.
- transfection efficiency is understood to be the amount of protein expression of a cell population as a consequence of transfection processes with genetic material which, inter alia, encodes this expressed protein or also the extent of a knockdown of a protein expression of a cell population as a consequence of
- Transfection processes with genetic material that can trigger such a knockdown In particular siRNA, antisense RNA, ribozymes, antisense DNA or DNA coding for siRNA or ribozymes is used as the genetic material.
- the transfection efficiency is also determined by the proportion of cells of a total population of cells that determines the biological effectiveness of the introduced genetic material as a result of
- transfection is understood as meaning a treatment of eukaryotic cells by a gene delivery system and nucleic acids.
- viruses are used as gene delivery systems. Since the introduction of nucleic acids, particularly DNA or RNA, into foreign cells is an integral part of the viral propagation cycle, this capability has been refined by a natural, evolutionary process in the history of the virus to make it a highly effective gene delivery system. The viruses used are genetically manipulated so that they no longer possess pathogenic properties and can no longer reproduce.
- Immune system offer a large attack surface, since the immune system has developed strategies in an evolutionary adaptation process, to defend the viruses.
- the immune defense and the activation of oncogenes by random integration of genetic material into the genome are unsolved problems, so that there are only a few approved gene therapies worldwide despite decades of research.
- Viruses are often used in basic research, but due to the security risk and the complex handling, the viral systems are only used where it is needed
- non-viral gene delivery systems generally no naturally occurring viruses are used and they are not produced by recombination of genetic material from naturally occurring viruses.
- These non-viral systems can in turn be subdivided into two sub-groups, the chemical-based systems and the physical ones
- non-viral gene delivery systems based on chemical methods are based either on a chemical modification or derivatization of the nucleic acids themselves, which make them cell-like, or comprise substances which, for example, via electrostatic forces or
- Hydrogen bonds, bind nucleic acids and transport can mediate through the cell membrane.
- the transport of the nucleic acid through the cell membrane is usually carried out by an active transport mechanism of the cell, the so-called endocytosis.
- Substances which allow binding of the nucleic acids include, for example, cationic lipids, cationic polymers, cationic peptides. These cationic lipids and cationic polymers spontaneously form so-called lipoplexes or polyplexes in the presence of DNA or RNA due to the opposing charge ratios. The DNA is thereby through the
- nucleic acid is "precondensed" by cationic polymers and then complexed by cationic lipids to form a mixture of lipoplexes and polyplexes, for example, polylysine, polyarginine or polyethylenimine, of course cationic lipids, polymers and peptides are used.
- the substances suitable for a chemically-based non-viral gene delivery method may also be molecules having at least a first and a second domain / moiety.
- the first domain is formed as a nucleic acid binding domain / moiety.
- a nucleic acid-binding moiety is understood as meaning an area in a molecule containing a nucleic acid,
- DNA and / or RNA covalently or via non-covalent
- the second domain / moiety preferably contains a ligand.
- This ligand can be recognized, for example, by a receptor on the cell surface and by this
- this ligand may be capable of initiating membrane transfer, ie mediating transport to the other side of the membrane.
- membrane transfer is meant that a molecule from one side of the Membrane can get to the other side.
- the ligands which can induce receptor-mediated endocytosis or membrane transfer can also be covalently bound to the genetic material, if the biological effect is not or only little affected.
- the substances may also be specially formulated, in particular as micelles or liposomes, or also comprise a plurality of components having different functions.
- Non-viral gene delivery systems based on physical methods localize the genetic material in the vicinity of the cell and utilize energy, in particular in the form of thermal, kinetic, electrical or other energy, to mediate transport of the genetic material through the cell membrane.
- An important example of a non-viral method based on a physical method is called electroporation.
- the cells to be transfected are placed between two electrodes to which a suitable voltage waveform is applied. In this way, the cells are exposed to an electrical pulse, which leads to a reversible opening (pores) of the cell membrane. These pores allow nucleic acids to enter the cell.
- hydrodynamic methods ballistic methods (Genegun) or methods that use ultrasound. This includes methods in which the
- Nucleic acid is injected nude into various organs or muscles, which in special cases can lead to low expression of the corresponding genes.
- Combination methods such as magnetofection combine chemical and physical methods.
- nucleic acids are chemically immobilized on magnetic nanoparticles to enrich them by a magnetic field gradient on the surface of cells and trigger endocytosis.
- a disadvantage of all non-viral systems that their efficiency does not match that of the viral systems.
- the viral method is very limited to gene therapy can be used due to the many disadvantages, is looking for non-viral methods for correspondingly powerful alternatives.
- the object of the present invention is therefore based on an immune system suppressing mechanism on a non-viral
- a transfection method for introducing one or more nucleic acids into eukaryotic cells by means of a non-viral gene delivery system is proposed in which the non-viral gene delivery system is improved in its performance in that the cells before and / or during transfection at least with at least one inhibitor for IKKe and / or TBK-1 and at least one inhibitor for at least one
- Nucleic acid-detecting toll-like receptor can be treated.
- a Toll-like (similar) receptor refers to proteins of the innate immune system. They belong to a group of receptors that serve to recognize pathogenic structures and to control the corresponding activation of genes. As a result, in particular, the activation of the antigen-specific acquired
- the TLRs are around
- TLR Transmembrane proteins with an extracellular, "leucine-rich repeat” domain (LRR) and a cytoplasmic domain homologous to those of the IL-1R family
- LRR leucine-rich repeat domain
- cytoplasmic domain homologous to those of the IL-1R family
- cytokines are again necessary stimulators for the acquired immune system and thus also a link between the innate and acquired immune system.
- TLR3 long dsRNA
- TLR7 ssRNA / dsRNA eg of RNA viruses
- TLR9 bacterial / viral DNA
- IKKe and TBK-1 are kinases that play an essential role in a innate immune signal transduction cascade downstream of a variety of cytosolic receptors that terminate in the activation of transcription factors IRF3 and IRF7.
- the kinase IKKe is also referred to as Ikkepsilon, Ikapa kepsilon, Ikappa kinase epsilon or IkK-3.
- TBK-1 is also referred to as TANK binding kinase 1. Since IKKe and TBK-1 are two closely related kinases, inhibitors of IKKe usually also act against TBK-1 and vice versa.
- an inhibitor is understood as meaning a molecule which can reduce or inhibit the biological action of another molecule, in particular of a protein.
- the inhibitors themselves are proteins, modified or unmodified nucleic acids or small organic molecules, whereby also suitable siRNA, which suppress the expression of a protein, can be regarded as inhibitors.
- the siRNA must be regarded as inhibitors. In this case, the siRNA must be regarded as inhibitors.
- the inhibitory effect can be achieved by masking a molecule that is normally recognized by a protein and thereby induces a biological effect.

- the IC 50 value indicates the concentration of an inhibitor necessary to block a target (eg enzyme, cell, cell receptor, microorganism etc.) in vitro by 50%.
- the ECso value, the effective concentration indicates this required concentration in vivo.
- TLR9 is a receptor for bacterial DNA, or non-methylated CpG motifs that accumulate in bacterial DNA (20 times more abundant than in mammalian cells).
- the CpG motif is highly methylated in mammalian cells, allowing it to be distinguished. Similar to bacterial DNA also applies to viral DNA, which is also detected by TLR9.
