RNA干扰(RNAi)疗法自从被发明以来,一直被认为是治疗人类疾病的一种很有前途的策略,但在临床实践过程中遇到了许多问题,该疗法的发展进度远远落后于预期。RNA interference (RNAi) therapy has been considered a promising strategy for the treatment of human diseases since its invention, but many problems have been encountered during clinical practice, and the development of this therapy has lagged far behind expectations.
一般认为RNA无法在细胞外长期稳定存在,因为RNA会被细胞外富含的RNase降解成碎片,因此必须找到能够使RNA稳定存在于细胞外,并且能够靶向性地进入特定组织的方法,才能将RNAi疗法的效果凸显出来。It is generally believed that RNA cannot exist stably outside the cell for a long time, because RNA will be degraded into fragments by RNases rich in extracellular, so it is necessary to find a method that can make RNA stable outside the cell and can enter specific tissues in a targeted manner. Highlight the effect of RNAi therapy.
目前与siRNA相关的专利很多,主要聚焦在以下几个方面:1、设计具有医学效果的siRNA。2、对siRNA进行化学修饰,提高siRNA在生物体内的稳定性,提高产率。3、提高设计各种人工载体(如脂质纳米粒子、阳离子聚合物和病毒),以提高siRNA在体内传递的效率。其中第3方面的专利很多,其根本原因是研究人员们已经意识到目前缺乏合适的siRNA传递***,将siRNA安全地、精确地、高效地输送到目标组织,该问题已经成为制约RNAi疗法的核心问题。At present, there are many patents related to siRNA, mainly focusing on the following aspects: 1. Designing siRNA with medical effects. 2. Chemical modification of siRNA to improve the stability of siRNA in vivo and increase the yield. 3. Improve the design of various artificial carriers (such as lipid nanoparticles, cationic polymers and viruses) to improve the efficiency of siRNA delivery in vivo. Among them, there are many patents in the third aspect. The fundamental reason is that researchers have realized that there is currently a lack of suitable siRNA delivery systems to safely, precisely and efficiently deliver siRNA to target tissues. This problem has become the core restricting RNAi therapy. question.
公开号为CN108624590A的中国专利公开了一种能够抑制DDR2基因表达的siRNA;公开号为CN108624591A的中国专利公开了一种能够沉默ARPC4基因的siRNA,并且对该siRNA进行了α-磷-硒修饰;公开号为CN108546702A的中国专利公开了一种靶向长链非编码RNA DDX11-AS1的siRNA。公开号为CN106177990A的中国专利公开了一种可以用于多种肿瘤治疗的siRNA前体。这些专利均设计了特定的siRNA并且来针对某些由基因变化引起的疾病。The Chinese Patent Publication No. CN108624590A discloses a siRNA capable of inhibiting the expression of DDR2 gene; the Chinese Patent Publication No. CN108624591A discloses a siRNA capable of silencing the ARPC4 gene, and the siRNA is modified with α-phosphorus-selenium; The Chinese Patent Publication No. CN108546702A discloses a siRNA targeting long-chain non-coding RNA DDX11-AS1. The Chinese Patent Publication No. CN106177990A discloses a siRNA precursor that can be used for various tumor treatments. These patents design specific siRNAs to target certain diseases caused by genetic changes.
公开号为CN108250267A的中国专利公开了一种多肽、多肽-siRNA诱导共组装体,使用多肽作为siRNA的载体。公开号为CN108117585A的中国专利公开了一种靶向导入siRNA促进乳腺癌细胞凋亡的多肽,同样使用多肽作为siRNA的载体。公开号为CN108096583A的中国专利公开了一种纳米粒子载体,该载体在包含化疗药物的同时还可以装载具有乳腺癌疗效的siRNA。这些专利均为在siRNA载体方面的发明创造,但是其技术方案具有一个共同特征,那就是载体和siRNA均在体外预先组装,然后再引入宿主体内。事实上,目前绝大部分设计的传递技术均是如此。然而这类传递体系具有共同的问题,那就是这些人工合成的外源性传递体系很容易被宿主的循环***清除,也有可能引起免疫原性反应,甚至可能对特定的细胞类型和组织有毒。Chinese Patent Publication No. CN108250267A discloses a polypeptide, polypeptide-siRNA induced co-assembly, using polypeptide as a carrier of siRNA. The Chinese Patent Publication No. CN108117585A discloses a polypeptide for promoting apoptosis of breast cancer cells through targeted introduction of siRNA, and the polypeptide is also used as the carrier of siRNA. The Chinese Patent Publication No. CN108096583A discloses a nanoparticle carrier, which can be loaded with siRNA with breast cancer curative effect while containing chemotherapeutic drugs. These patents are all inventions and creations in terms of siRNA vectors, but their technical solutions have a common feature, that is, the vectors and siRNA are pre-assembled in vitro and then introduced into the host. In fact, this is the case with most of the delivery technologies currently designed. However, this type of delivery system has a common problem, that is, these synthetic exogenous delivery systems are easily cleared by the host's circulatory system, may also cause immunogenic responses, and may even be toxic to specific cell types and tissues.
本发明的研究团队发现内源性细胞可以选择性地将miRNAs封装到外泌体(exosome)中,外泌体可以将miRNA传递到受体细胞中,其分泌的miRNA在相对较低的浓度下,即可有力阻断靶基因的表达。外泌体与宿主免疫***生物相容,并具有在体内保护和运输miRNA跨越生物屏障的先天能力,因此成为克服与siRNA传递相关的问题的潜在解决方案。例如,公开号为CN110699382A的中国专利就公开了一种递送siRNA的外泌体的制备方法,公开了从血浆中分离外泌体,并将siRNA通过电穿孔的方式封装到外泌体中的技术。The research team of the present invention found that endogenous cells can selectively encapsulate miRNAs into exosomes, and exosomes can deliver miRNAs to recipient cells, which secrete miRNAs at relatively low concentrations , which can effectively block the expression of target genes. Exosomes are biocompatible with the host immune system and possess the innate ability to protect and transport miRNAs across biological barriers in vivo, thus becoming a potential solution to overcome problems associated with siRNA delivery. For example, the Chinese Patent Publication No. CN110699382A discloses a method for preparing siRNA-delivering exosomes, and discloses the technology of separating exosomes from plasma and encapsulating siRNA into exosomes by electroporation .
但是这类在体外分离或制备外泌体的技术,往往需要通过细胞培养获取大量的外泌体,再加上siRNA封装的步骤,这使得大规模应用该产品的临床费用变得非常高,一般患者无法负担;更重要的是,外泌体复杂的生产/纯化过程,使其几乎不可能符合GMP标准。However, such techniques of in vitro isolation or preparation of exosomes often require obtaining a large amount of exosomes through cell culture, coupled with the step of siRNA encapsulation, which makes the clinical cost of large-scale application of this product very high. Patients cannot afford it; more importantly, the complex production/purification process of exosomes makes it almost impossible to comply with GMP standards.
到目前为止,以外泌体为有效成分的药物从未获得CFDA批准,其核心问题就是无法保证外泌体产品的一致性,而这一问题直接导致此类产品无法获得药品生产许可证。如果能解决这一问题,则对推动RNAi疗法治疗帕金森病意义非凡。So far, drugs with exosomes as active ingredients have never been approved by the CFDA. The core problem is that the consistency of exosome products cannot be guaranteed, and this problem directly leads to the inability of such products to obtain drug production licenses. If this problem can be solved, it will be of great significance to promote RNAi therapy for Parkinson's disease.
因此,开发一个安全、精确和高效的siRNA传递***是对提高RNAi治疗效果,推进RNAi疗法至关重要的一环。Therefore, the development of a safe, precise and efficient siRNA delivery system is a crucial part of improving the effect of RNAi therapy and advancing RNAi therapy.

This range of sequence lengths was not chosen arbitrarily, but was determined through trial and error. A large number of experiments have proved that when the length of the RNA sequence is less than 18nt, especially less than 15nt, the RNA sequence is mostly invalid and will not play a role. The cost of the line is greatly increased, and the effect is not better than the RNA sequence with a length of 18-22nt, and the economic benefit is poor. Therefore, when the length of the RNA sequence is 15-25nt, especially 18-22nt, the cost and the effect can be taken into consideration, and the effect is the best.

更加具体地,该质粒载体的功能结构区可以表示为:(5’-启动子-5’侧翼序列-siRNA1-loop序列-补偿序列-3’侧翼序列)-连接序列-(5’-启动子-5’侧翼序列-siRNA2-loop序列-补偿序列-3’侧翼序列)-连接序列-(5’-启动子-靶向标签),或(5’-启动子-靶向标签-5’侧翼序列-siRNA1-loop序列-补偿序列-3’侧翼序列)-连接序列-(5’-启动子-靶向标签-5’侧翼序列-siRNA2-loop序列-补偿序列-3’侧翼序列),或(5’-启动子-5’侧翼序列-siRNA1-loop序列-补偿序列-3’侧翼序列)-连接序列-(5’-启动子-靶向标签-5’侧翼序列-siRNA2-loop序列-补偿序列-3’侧翼序列)、(5’-启动子-靶向标签-5’侧翼序列-siRNA1-siRNA2-loop序列-补偿序列-3’侧翼序列)等。其他情况均可以此类推,在此不再赘述。以上连接序列可以为“序列1-序列2-序列3”或“序列4”,一个括号表示一个完整的线路(circuit)。More specifically, the functional structural region of the plasmid vector can be expressed as: (5'-promoter-5'flanking sequence-siRNA1-loop sequence-compensating sequence-3'flanking sequence)-connecting sequence-(5'-promoter - 5' flanking sequence - siRNA2-loop sequence - compensation sequence - 3' flanking sequence) - linking sequence - (5'-promoter-targeting tag), or (5'-promoter-targeting tag-5' flanking sequence-siRNA1-loop sequence-compensation sequence-3' flanking sequence)-linker sequence-(5'-promoter-targeting tag-5'flanking sequence-siRNA2-loop sequence-compensating sequence-3'flanking sequence), or (5'-promoter-5'flanking sequence-siRNA1-loop sequence-compensating sequence-3'flanking sequence)-linking sequence-(5'-promoter-targeting tag-5'flanking sequence-siRNA2-loop sequence- Compensation sequence-3'flanking sequence), (5'-promoter-targeting tag-5'flanking sequence-siRNA1-siRNA2-loop sequence-compensating sequence-3'flanking sequence), etc. Other situations can be deduced by analogy, and details are not repeated here. The above connecting sequence can be "sequence 1-sequence 2-sequence 3" or "sequence 4", and a bracket indicates a complete circuit.
优选地,上述RNA还可以通过对其中的RNA序列(siRNA、shRNA或miRNA)进行核糖修饰得到,优选2’氟嘧啶修饰。2’氟嘧啶修饰是将siRNA、shRNA或miRNA上嘧啶核苷酸的2’-OH用2’-F替代,2’-F能够使人体内的RNA酶不易识别siRNA、shRNA或miRNA,如此能够增加RNA在体内传输的稳定性。Preferably, the above RNA can also be obtained by ribose modification of the RNA sequence (siRNA, shRNA or miRNA) therein, preferably 2' fluoropyrimidine modification. 2'Fluoropyrimidine modification is to replace the 2'-OH of pyrimidine nucleotides on siRNA, shRNA or miRNA with 2'-F. 2'-F can make it difficult for RNase in the human body to recognize siRNA, shRNA or miRNA, so it can Increases the stability of RNA transport in vivo.
具体地,肝脏会吞噬外源性的质粒,高达99%的外源性质粒会进入肝脏,因此当以质粒作为载体时并不需要做特异性设计即可在肝脏组织中富集,随后外源性质粒被打开,释放出RNA分子(siRNA、shRNA或miRNA),肝脏组织自发地将上述RNA分子包裹进外泌体内部,这些外泌体就变成了RNA输送机构。Specifically, the liver will phagocytose exogenous plasmids, and up to 99% of the exogenous plasmids will enter the liver. Therefore, when plasmids are used as vectors, they can be enriched in liver tissue without specific design. The plasmid is opened to release RNA molecules (siRNA, shRNA, or miRNA), and liver tissue spontaneously wraps the above RNA molecules into exosomes, and these exosomes become RNA delivery mechanisms.
优选地,为了使该RNA输送机构(外泌体)具有“精确制导”的能力,在注入体内的质粒中我们设计了靶向标签,该靶向标签也会被肝脏组织组装到外泌体中,尤其是当选择某些特定的靶向标签时,靶向标签能够被***外泌体表面,从而成为能够引导外泌体的靶向结构,这就大大提高了本发明所述的RNA输送机构的精准性,一方面可以使所需引入的外源性质粒的用量大大减少,另一方面还大大提高了潜在药物递送的效率。Preferably, in order to make the RNA delivery mechanism (exosome) have the ability of "precision guidance", we designed a targeting tag in the plasmid injected into the body, and the targeting tag will also be assembled into exosomes by liver tissue , especially when certain specific targeting tags are selected, the targeting tags can be inserted into the surface of exosomes, thereby becoming a targeting structure that can guide exosomes, which greatly improves the RNA delivery mechanism of the present invention. On the one hand, the amount of exogenous plasmids that need to be introduced can be greatly reduced, and on the other hand, the efficiency of potential drug delivery can be greatly improved.
靶向标签选自具有靶向功能的肽、蛋白质或抗体中的一种,靶向标签的选择是需要创造性劳动的过程,一方面需要根据目标组织选取可用的靶向标签,另一方面还需要保证该靶向标签能够在稳定地出现在外泌体的表面,从而达到靶向功能。目前已经筛选出的靶向肽包括但不限于RVG靶向肽(核苷酸序列如SEQ  ID No:1所示)、GE11靶向肽(核苷酸序列如SEQ ID No:2所示)、PTP靶向肽(核苷酸序列如SEQ ID No:3所示)、TCP-1靶向肽(核苷酸序列如SEQ ID No:4所示)、MSP靶向肽(核苷酸序列如SEQ ID No:5所示);靶向蛋白包括但不限于RVG-LAMP2B融合蛋白(核苷酸序列如SEQ ID No:6所示)、GE11-LAMP2B融合蛋白(核苷酸序列如SEQ ID No:7所示)、PTP-LAMP2B融合蛋白(核苷酸序列如SEQ ID No:8所示)、TCP-1-LAMP2B融合蛋白(核苷酸序列如SEQ ID No:9所示)、MSP-LAMP2B融合蛋白(核苷酸序列如SEQ ID No:10所示)。优选采用GE11靶向肽、GE11-LAMP2B融合蛋白。The targeting tag is selected from one of the peptides, proteins or antibodies with targeting function. The selection of the targeting tag is a process that requires creative work. On the one hand, it is necessary to select the available targeting tags according to the target tissue. It is ensured that the targeting label can stably appear on the surface of exosomes, so as to achieve the targeting function. Targeting peptides that have been screened so far include, but are not limited to, RVG targeting peptide (nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID No: 1), GE11 targeting peptide (nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID No: 2), PTP targeting peptide (nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID No: 3), TCP-1 targeting peptide (nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID No: 4), MSP targeting peptide (nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID No: 4) SEQ ID No: 5); targeting proteins include but are not limited to RVG-LAMP2B fusion protein (nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID No: 6), GE11-LAMP2B fusion protein (nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID No: 6) : 7), PTP-LAMP2B fusion protein (nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID No: 8), TCP-1-LAMP2B fusion protein (nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID No: 9), MSP- LAMP2B fusion protein (nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID No: 10). Preferably, GE11 targeting peptide, GE11-LAMP2B fusion protein is used.
以上所述的RNA包含1个、两个或多个具有医疗意义的具体RNA序列,所述RNA序列能够在目标受体中被表达,所述补偿序列在目标受体中不能被表达。The above-mentioned RNAs comprise one, two or more specific RNA sequences of medical significance, the RNA sequences can be expressed in the target receptor, and the compensatory sequence cannot be expressed in the target receptor.
此外,为了达到精准递送的目的,我们实验了多种质粒载体搭载的方案,得出另一优化的方案:所述质粒载体还可以由具有不同结构的多种质粒构成,其中一种质粒包含启动子和靶向标签,其他质粒包含启动子和RNA片段。即将靶向标签与RNA片段装载到不同的质粒载体中,将两种质粒载体注入体内,其靶向效果不差于将相同的靶向标签与RNA片段装载在一个质粒载体中产生的靶向效果。In addition, in order to achieve the purpose of precise delivery, we experimented with a variety of plasmid vector loading schemes, and came up with another optimized scheme: the plasmid vector can also be composed of multiple plasmids with different structures, one of which contains a promoter promoter and targeting tags, other plasmids contain promoters and RNA fragments. Loading the targeting tag and RNA fragment into different plasmid vectors, and injecting the two plasmid vectors into the body, the targeting effect is no worse than the targeting effect produced by loading the same targeting tag and RNA fragment into one plasmid vector .
更优选地,两种不同的质粒载体注入宿主体内时,可以先将装有RNA序列的质粒载体注入,在1-2小时后再注入含有靶向标签的质粒载体,如此能够达到更优的靶向效果。More preferably, when two different plasmid vectors are injected into the host, the plasmid vector containing the RNA sequence can be injected first, and then the plasmid vector containing the targeting tag can be injected after 1-2 hours, so that a better target can be achieved. to the effect.
以上所述的递送***均可用于包括人在内的哺乳动物。The delivery systems described above can all be used in mammals, including humans.
如图1A所示,为了了解质粒在体内的分布情况,我们对小鼠进行了平板试验,对小鼠注射质粒后按时间点(1h、3h、6h、9h、12h、24h、72h、168h、720h)取样,采用大观霉素提取的质粒进行转化,观测肝脏、血浆、肺、大脑、肾脏、脾脏中克隆体的数量,结果如图1B、图1C、图1D所示,可以看出,质粒在小鼠肝脏中分布最多,并且在注射后3h左右达到峰值,注射后12h已基本代谢。As shown in Figure 1A, in order to understand the distribution of plasmids in the body, we carried out a plate test on mice. 720h) sampling, using the plasmid extracted by spectinomycin for transformation, observing the number of clones in liver, plasma, lung, brain, kidney, spleen, the results are shown in Figure 1B, Figure 1C, Figure 1D, it can be seen that the plasmid It is most distributed in the liver of mice, and reaches the peak at about 3 hours after injection, and is basically metabolized at 12 hours after injection.
向C57BL/6J小鼠静脉注射共表达eGFP蛋白和EGFR siRNA的CMV eGFP siRE circuit,结果如图2所示,随着时间的推移,小鼠肝脏内eGFP荧光逐渐增强,约12小时达到峰值,48小时降至背景水平,其他组织未见明显的eGFP信号。The CMV eGFP siRE circuit co-expressing eGFP protein and EGFR siRNA was injected intravenously into C57BL/6J mice. The results are shown in Figure 2. The eGFP fluorescence in the mouse liver gradually increased over time, reaching a peak at about 12 hours. 48 After hours, it dropped to the background level, and no obvious eGFP signal was seen in other tissues.
分别向小鼠注射对照质粒(CMV-scrR)、表达EGFR siRNA的质粒(CMV-siR E),并建立小鼠肝细胞体外模型,分别检测注射CMV-scrR和CMV-siR E的小鼠肝细胞外泌体中相关siRNA水平,结果如图3A所示,可见在注射CMV-siR E的小鼠肝细胞外泌体中存在siRNA的表达。 The control plasmid (CMV-scrR) and the plasmid expressing EGFR siRNA (CMV-siR E ) were injected into mice respectively, and the mouse liver cell model was established in vitro, and the mouse liver cells injected with CMV-scrR and CMV-siR E were detected respectively. The related siRNA levels in exosomes, the results are shown in Figure 3A, it can be seen that there is siRNA expression in the exosomes of mouse hepatocytes injected with CMV-siRNA.
我们通常认为与Ago2蛋白结合是siRNA发挥功能的必要条件,即外泌体中的siRNA可以与Ago2蛋白结合,因此我们进行Ago2免疫沉淀实验,结果如图3B、图3C所示。其中,Input代表不经过免疫沉淀,直接将外泌体裂解并进行检测的样品,代表阳性对照。We generally believe that binding to Ago2 protein is a necessary condition for siRNA to function, that is, siRNA in exosomes can bind to Ago2 protein, so we performed Ago2 immunoprecipitation experiments, and the results are shown in Figure 3B and Figure 3C. Among them, Input represents the sample in which the exosomes were directly lysed and detected without immunoprecipitation, representing the positive control.
对小鼠静脉注射质粒后,成熟siRNA在不同组织中的分布如图4所示。从图4A可以看出,血浆、外泌体、无外泌体的血浆中EGFR-siRNA水平呈时间依赖性变化;从图4B可以看出,小鼠EGFR-siRNA在肝、肺、胰腺、脾脏、肾脏中的积累具有时间依赖性。After intravenous injection of plasmids into mice, the distribution of mature siRNA in different tissues is shown in Figure 4. It can be seen from Figure 4A that the levels of EGFR-siRNA in plasma, exosomes, and exosome-free plasma show time-dependent changes; from Figure 4B, it can be seen that mouse EGFR-siRNAs in the liver, lung, pancreas, and spleen , The accumulation in the kidney is time-dependent.
分别对小鼠注射对照质粒(CMV-scrR)、0.05mg/kg的CMV-siR E质粒、0.5mg/kg的CMV-siR E质粒、5mg/kg的CMV-siR E质粒,检测小鼠肝脏、脾脏、心脏、肺、肾脏、胰腺、脑、骨骼肌、CD4 +细胞中绝对siRNA(EGFR siRNA)水平,结果如图5A所示,可以看出,注射对照质粒的小鼠组织中无siRNA的表达,注射CMV-siR E质粒的小鼠各组织中,siRNA表达的水平与CMV-siR E质粒浓度呈正相关。如图5B所示,荧光原位杂交试验(FISH)同样证实了siRNA表达的水平与CMV-siR E质粒浓度呈正相关,即EGFR siRNA的组织分布具有剂量依赖性。 The mice were injected with control plasmid (CMV-scrR), 0.05mg/kg CMV-siR E plasmid, 0.5mg/kg CMV-siR E plasmid, 5mg/kg CMV-siR E plasmid, and detected the liver, Absolute siRNA (EGFR siRNA) levels in spleen, heart, lung, kidney, pancreas, brain, skeletal muscle, CD4 + cells, the results are shown in Figure 5A, it can be seen that there is no siRNA expression in the tissues of mice injected with the control plasmid , in each tissue of mice injected with CMV-siR E plasmid, the level of siRNA expression was positively correlated with the concentration of CMV-siR E plasmid. As shown in Figure 5B, fluorescence in situ hybridization assay (FISH) also confirmed that the level of siRNA expression was positively correlated with the concentration of CMV-siR E plasmid, that is, the tissue distribution of EGFR siRNA was dose-dependent.
由于质粒进入体内后,会表达前体(Precursor),再加工成成熟体(siRNA),故我们对小鼠注射质粒之 后肝脏中前体(Precursor)和成熟体(siRNA)的代谢情况进行了检测,结果如图6所示。可以看出,在注射质粒后6个小时的时间节点,小鼠肝脏中前体(Precursor)和成熟体(siRNA)的表达水平达到峰值,在注射质粒后36个小时,小鼠肝脏中的成熟体(siRNA)代谢完成,在注射质粒后48个小时,小鼠肝脏中前体(Precursor)代谢完成。After the plasmid enters the body, it will express the precursor (Precursor) and then process it into the mature body (siRNA), so we tested the metabolism of the precursor (Precursor) and the mature body (siRNA) in the liver after the plasmid was injected into mice. , the results are shown in Figure 6. It can be seen that the expression levels of precursor (Precursor) and mature body (siRNA) in the mouse liver reached a peak at the time point of 6 hours after the injection of the plasmid. Metabolism of the precursor (siRNA) was complete, and the metabolism of the precursor (Precursor) in the mouse liver was complete 48 hours after the injection of the plasmid.
对小鼠进行胆总管注射外源性siRNA后分别检测小鼠无外泌体血浆(exosome-free)、外泌体(exosome)、血浆中绝对siRNA水平,结果如图7A所示。对小鼠进行胆总管注射外源性siRNA后分别检测小鼠脾脏、心脏、肺、肾脏、胰腺、脑、骨骼肌、CD4 +细胞中siRNA的水平,结果如图7B所示。这两张图反映出siRNA在不同组织中动力学几乎相同,在不同组织中siRNA的分布有显著差别。 After injection of exogenous siRNA into the common bile duct of mice, the absolute levels of siRNA in exosome-free plasma (exosome-free), exosome (exosome) and plasma were detected respectively, and the results are shown in Figure 7A. After injection of exogenous siRNA into the common bile duct of mice, the levels of siRNA in the spleen, heart, lung, kidney, pancreas, brain, skeletal muscle, and CD4 + cells of the mice were detected, and the results are shown in Figure 7B. These two figures reflect that the kinetics of siRNA in different tissues are almost the same, and the distribution of siRNA in different tissues is significantly different.
分别向小鼠体内静脉注射以白蛋白ALB为启动子的siRNA、以CMV为启动子的siRNA、不含任何启动子的siRNA,在注射后0h、3h、6h、9h、12h、24h、36h、48h分别检测小鼠体内的绝对siRNA水平,结果如图8所示。可见,小鼠体内以CMV为启动子的siRNA的水平最高,即以CMV作为启动子效果最优。siRNA with albumin ALB as the promoter, siRNA with CMV as the promoter, and siRNA without any promoter were injected into mice intravenously. The absolute siRNA levels in the mice were detected at 48 h, and the results are shown in Figure 8. It can be seen that the level of siRNA with CMV as the promoter in mice is the highest, that is, the effect of CMV as the promoter is the best.
我们通过荧光试验观察自组装的eGFP siRNA对小鼠体内eGFP水平的抑制,过程如下:对eGFP转基因小鼠静脉注射PBS或5mg/kg CMV-siR G或CMV-RVG-siR G质粒,治疗24小时后处死小鼠,在冷冻切片中检测其eGFP荧光水平,图9A所示为具有代表性的荧光显微镜图像,其中绿色表示阳性eGFP信号,蓝色显表示DAPI染色的细胞核,比例尺:100μm,可见CMV-RVG-siR G质粒对小鼠eGFP的抑制效果更为明显;对eGFP转基因小鼠静脉注射PBS或CMV-scrR或CMV-siR E质粒,治疗24小时后处死小鼠,在冷冻切片中检测其eGFP荧光水平,图9B为注射PBS、CMV-siR E、CMV-RVG-siR E的小鼠心脏、肺、肾脏、胰腺、脑、骨骼肌的荧光强度(Fluorescence intensity)柱形对比图,可见,在肝脏、脾脏、肺、肾脏部位小鼠荧光强度对比更为明显。 We observed the inhibition of eGFP levels in mice by self-assembled eGFP siRNA by fluorescence assay. The process is as follows: eGFP transgenic mice were intravenously injected with PBS or 5 mg/kg CMV-siR G or CMV-RVG-siR G plasmid, and treated for 24 hours After the mice were sacrificed, their eGFP fluorescence levels were detected in cryosections. Figure 9A shows a representative fluorescence microscope image, in which green indicates positive eGFP signal, blue indicates DAPI-stained nuclei, scale bar: 100 μm, CMV is visible - RVG-siR G plasmid has a more obvious inhibitory effect on mouse eGFP; eGFP transgenic mice were intravenously injected with PBS or CMV-scrR or CMV-siR E plasmid, and the mice were sacrificed after 24 hours of treatment, and they were detected in frozen sections. The fluorescence level of eGFP, Figure 9B is a bar graph of the fluorescence intensity (Fluorescence intensity) of the mouse heart, lung, kidney, pancreas, brain, and skeletal muscle injected with PBS, CMV- siRE , and CMV-RVG- siRE . It can be seen that, The contrast of fluorescence intensity in liver, spleen, lung and kidney of mice was more obvious.
分别对于注射PBS、CMV-scrR、CMV-siR E的小鼠其谷丙转氨酶(ALT)、谷草转氨酶(AST)、总胆红素(TBIL)、血尿素氮(BUN)、血清碱性磷酸酶(ALP)、肌酐(CREA)含量以及胸腺重量、脾脏重量、外周血细胞百分比(percentage peripheral blood cells)进行检测,结果如图10所示,图10A-F为分别注射PBS、小鼠CMV-scrR、CMV-siR E的谷丙转氨酶、谷草转氨酶、总胆红素、血尿素氮、血清碱性磷酸酶、肌酐含量对比图,图10G为小鼠肝脏、肺、脾脏、肾脏组织对比图,图10H-I为小鼠胸腺、脾脏组织对比图,图10J为小鼠外周血细胞百分比(percentage in peripheral blood cells)对比图。 For the mice injected with PBS, CMV-scrR, and CMV-siR E , their alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TBIL), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP), creatinine (CREA) content, thymus weight, spleen weight, and percentage of peripheral blood cells were detected.

And the preparation of plasmids is much cheaper and more economical than the preparation of exosomes or proteins, polypeptides and other substances. The drug provided in this application can be closely combined with AGO 2 and enriched into a composite structure (exosome) after self-assembly in vivo, which can not only prevent its premature degradation and maintain its stability in circulation, but also benefit the receptor. Cellular uptake, intracytoplasmic release and lysosomal escape require low doses.

如图11C所示,该图为注射CMV-scrR/CMV-RVG-siR LRRK2的LRRK2R1441G转基因小鼠黑质区TH+神经元免疫荧光图,结果表明注射CMV-RVG-siR LRRK2的小鼠挽救了TH神经元的丢失,说明CMV-RVG-siR LRRK2在肝脏释放siRNA组装进入外泌体后可以穿过血脑屏障进入脑深部发挥功能。 As shown in Figure 11C, which is an immunofluorescence image of TH+ neurons in the substantia nigra of LRRK2R1441G transgenic mice injected with CMV-scrR/CMV-RVG-siR LRRK2 , the results showed that mice injected with CMV-RVG-siR LRRK2 rescued TH The loss of neurons indicates that CMV-RVG-siR LRRK2 can cross the blood-brain barrier and enter the deep brain to function after the liver releases siRNA and assembles into exosomes.
如图11D所示,该图为注射CMV-scrR/CMV-RVG-siR LRRK2的LRRK2R1441G转基因小鼠小胶质细胞激活水平免疫荧光图,结果表明注射CMV-RVG-siR LRRK2小鼠能够抑制小胶质的激活,说明CMV-RVG-siR LRRK2在肝脏释放siRNA组装进入外泌体后可以穿过血脑屏障进入脑深部发挥功能。 As shown in Figure 11D, this figure is an immunofluorescence image of the activation level of microglia in LRRK2R1441G transgenic mice injected with CMV-scrR/CMV-RVG-siR LRRK2 . The results show that injection of CMV-RVG-siR LRRK2 mice can inhibit microglia The activation of CMV-RVG-siR LRRK2 indicates that CMV-RVG-siR LRRK2 can cross the blood-brain barrier and enter the deep brain to function after the liver releases siRNA and assembles into exosomes.
以上试验可以说明,静脉注射CMV-RVG-siR LRRK2质粒有助于抑制多巴胺能神经元中的LRRK2,从而减轻帕金森PD小鼠的神经病理发展。 The above experiments can illustrate that intravenous injection of CMV-RVG-siR LRRK2 plasmid helps to inhibit LRRK2 in dopaminergic neurons, thereby reducing the neuropathological development of Parkinson's PD mice.
