This disclosure relates to Toll-like receptor 7 (“TLR7”) agonists and conjugates thereof, and methods for the preparation and use of such agonists and their conjugates.
Toll-like receptors (“TLRs”) are receptors that recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (“PAMPs”), which are small molecular motifs conserved in certain classes of pathogens. TLRs can be located either on a cell's surface or intracellularly. Activation of a TLR by the binding of its cognate PAMP signals the presence of the associated pathogen inside the host—i.e., an infection—and stimulates the host's immune system to fight the infection. Humans have 10 TLRs, named TLR1, TLR2, TLR3, and so on.
The activation of a TLR—with TLR7 being the most studied—by an agonist can have a positive effect on the action of vaccines and immunotherapy agents in treating a variety of conditions other than actual pathogen infection, by stimulating the immune response overall. Thus, there is considerable interest in the use of TLR7 agonists as vaccine adjuvants or as enhancers in cancer immunotherapy. See, for example, Vasilakos and Tomai 2013, Sato-Kaneko et al. 2017, Smits et al. 2008, and Ota et al. 2019.
TLR7, an intracellular receptor located on the membrane of endosomes, recognizes PAMPs associated with single-stranded RNA viruses. Its activation induces secretion of Type I interferons such as IFNα and IFNβ (Lund et al. 2004). TLR7 has two binding sites, one for single stranded RNA ligands (Berghofer et al. 2007) and one for small molecules such as guanosine (Zhang et al. 2016).
TLR7 can bind to, and be activated by, guanosine-like synthetic agonists such as imiquimod, resiquimod, and gardiquimod, which are based on a 1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinoline scaffold. For a review of small-molecule TLR7 agonists, see Cortez and Va 2018.
Synthetic TLR7 agonists based on a pteridinone molecular scaffold are also known, as exemplified by vesatolimod (Desai et al. 2015).
Other synthetic TLR7 agonists based on a purine-like scaffold have been disclosed, frequently according to the general formula (A):
where R, R′, and R″ are structural variables, with R″ typically containing an unsubstituted or substituted aromatic or heteroaromatic ring.
Disclosures of bioactive molecules having a purine-like scaffold and their uses in treating conditions such as fibrosis, inflammatory disorders, cancer, or pathogenic infections include: Akinbobuyi et al. 2015 and 2016; Barberis et al. 2012; Carson et al. 2014; Ding et al. 2016, 2017a, and 2017b; Graupe et al. 2015; Hashimoto et al. 2009; He et al. 2019a and 2019b; Holldack et al. 2012; Isobe et al. 2009a and 2012; Poudel et al. 2019a and 2019b; Pryde 2010; and Young et al. 2019.
The group R″ can be pyridyl: Bonfanti et al. 2015a and 2015b; Halcomb et al. 2015; Hirota et al. 2000; Isobe et al. 2002, 2004, 2006, 2009a, 2009b, 2011, and 2012; Kasibhatla et al. 2007; Koga-Yamakawa et al. 2013; Musmuca et al. 2009; Nakamura 2012; Ogita et al. 2007; and Yu et al. 2013.
There are disclosures of related molecules in which the 6,5-fused ring system of formula (A)—a pyrimidine six member ring fused to an imidazole five member ring—is modified. (a) Dellaria et al. 2007, Jones et al. 2010 and 2012, and Pilatte et al. 2017 disclose compounds in which the pyrimidine ring is replaced by a pyridine ring. (b) Chen et al. 2011, Coe et al. 2017, Poudel et al. 2020a and 2020b, and Zhang et al. 2018 disclose compounds in which the imidazole ring is replaced by a pyrazole ring. (c) Cortez et al. 2017 and 2018; Li et al. 2018; and McGowan et al. 2016a, 2016b, and 2017 disclose compounds in which the imidazole ring is replaced by a pyrrole ring.
Bonfanti et al. 2015b and 2016 and Purandare et al. 2019 disclose TLR7 modulators in which the two rings of a purine moiety are spanned by a macrocycle:
A TLR7 agonist can be conjugated to a partner molecule, which can be, for example, a phospholipid, a poly(ethylene glycol) (“PEG”), an antibody, or another TLR (commonly TLR2). Exemplary disclosures include: Carson et al. 2013, 2015, and 2016, Chan et al. 2009 and 2011, Cortez et al. 2017, Gadd et al. 2015, Lioux et al. 2016, Maj et al. 2015, Vernejoul et al. 2014, and Zurawski et al. 2012. A frequent conjugation site is at the R″ group of formula (A).
Jensen et al. 2015 discloses the use of cationic lipid vehicles for the delivery of TLR7 agonists.
Some TLR7 agonists, including resiquimod are dual TLR7/TLR8 agonists. See, for example, Beesu et al. 2017, Embrechts et al. 2018, Lioux et al. 2016, and Vernejoul et al. 2014.

The table also provides data relating to biological activity: human TLR7 agonism reporter assay and/or induction of the CD69 gene in human whole blood, determined per the procedure provided hereinbelow. The right-most column contains analytical data (mass spectrum, HPLC retention time, and NMR). In one embodiment, a compound of this disclosure has (a) a human TLR7 (hTLR7) Reporter Assay EC50 value of less than 1,000 nM and (b) a human whole blood (hWB) CD69 induction EC50 value of less than 1,000 nM. (Where an assay was performed multiple times, the reported value is an average.)
In another aspect, there is provided a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of as disclosed herein, or of a conjugate thereof, formulated together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient. It may optionally contain one or more additional pharmaceutically active ingredients, such as a biologic or a small molecule drug. The pharmaceutical compositions can be administered in a combination therapy with another therapeutic agent, especially an anti-cancer agent.
The pharmaceutical composition may comprise one or more excipients. Excipients that may be used include carriers, surface active agents, thickening or emulsifying agents, solid binders, dispersion or suspension aids, solubilizers, colorants, flavoring agents, coatings, disintegrating agents, lubricants, sweeteners, preservatives, isotonic agents, and combinations thereof. The selection and use of suitable excipients is taught in Gennaro, ed., Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 20th Ed. (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins 2003).
Preferably, a pharmaceutical composition is suitable for intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous, parenteral, spinal or epidermal administration (e.g., by injection or infusion). Depending on the route of administration, the active compound may be coated in a material to protect it from the action of acids and other natural conditions that may inactivate it. The phrase “parenteral administration” means modes of administration other than enteral and topical administration, usually by injection, and includes, without limitation, intravenous, intramuscular, intraarterial, intrathecal, intracapsular, intraorbital, intracardiac, intradermal, intraperitoneal, transtracheal, subcutaneous, subcuticular, intraarticular, subcapsular, subarachnoid, intraspinal, epidural and intrasternal injection and infusion. Alternatively, the pharmaceutical composition can be administered via a non-parenteral route, such as a topical, epidermal or mucosal route of administration, for example, intranasally, orally, vaginally, rectally, sublingually or topically.
Pharmaceutical compositions can be in the form of sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions. They can also be formulated in a microemulsion, liposome, or other ordered structure suitable to achieve high drug concentration. The compositions can also be provided in the form of lyophilates, for reconstitution in water prior to administration.
The amount of active ingredient which can be combined with a carrier material to produce a single dosage form will vary depending upon the subject being treated and the particular mode of administration and will generally be that amount of the composition which produces a therapeutic effect. Generally, out of one hundred percent, this amount will range from about 0.01 percent to about ninety-nine percent of active ingredient, preferably from about 0.1 percent to about 70 percent, most preferably from about 1 percent to about 30 percent of active ingredient in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
Dosage regimens are adjusted to provide a therapeutic response. For example, a single bolus may be administered, several divided doses may be administered over time, or the dose may be proportionally reduced or increased as indicated by the exigencies of the situation. It is especially advantageous to formulate parenteral compositions in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. “Dosage unit form” refers to physically discrete units suited as unitary dosages for the subjects to be treated; each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active compound calculated to produce the desired therapeutic response, in association with the required pharmaceutical carrier.
The dosage ranges from about 0.0001 to 100 mg/kg, and more usually 0.01 to 5 mg/kg, of the host body weight. For example dosages can be 0.3 mg/kg body weight, 1 mg/kg body weight, 3 mg/kg body weight, 5 mg/kg body weight or 10 mg/kg body weight or within the range of 1-10 mg/kg, or alternatively 0.1 to 5 mg/kg. Exemplary treatment regimens are administration once per week, once every two weeks, once every three weeks, once every four weeks, once a month, once every 3 months, or once every three to 6 months. Preferred dosage regimens include 1 mg/kg body weight or 3 mg/kg body weight via intravenous administration, using one of the following dosing schedules: (i) every four weeks for six dosages, then every three months; (ii) every three weeks; (iii) 3 mg/kg body weight once followed by 1 mg/kg body weight every three weeks. In some methods, dosage is adjusted to achieve a plasma antibody concentration of about 1-1000 μg/mL and in some methods about 25-300 μg/mL.
A “therapeutically effective amount” of a compound of the invention preferably results in a decrease in severity of disease symptoms, an increase in frequency and duration of disease symptom-free periods, or a prevention of impairment or disability due to the disease affliction. For example, for the treatment of tumor-bearing subjects, a “therapeutically effective amount” preferably inhibits tumor growth by at least about 20%, more preferably by at least about 40%, even more preferably by at least about 60%, and still more preferably by at least about 80% relative to untreated subjects. A therapeutically effective amount of a therapeutic compound can decrease tumor size, or otherwise ameliorate symptoms in a subject, which is typically a human but can be another mammal. Where two or more therapeutic agents are administered in a combination treatment, “therapeutically effective amount” refers to the efficacy of the combination as a whole, and not each agent individually.
The pharmaceutical composition can be a controlled or sustained release formulation, including implants, transdermal patches, and microencapsulated delivery systems. Biodegradable, biocompatible polymers can be used, such as ethylene vinyl acetate, polyanhydrides, polyglycolic acid, collagen, polyorthoesters, and polylactic acid. See, e.g., Sustained and Controlled Release Drug Delivery Systems, J. R. Robinson, ed., Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York, 1978.
Therapeutic compositions can be administered via medical devices such as (1) needleless hypodermic injection devices; (2) micro-infusion pumps; (3) transdermal devices; (4) infusion devices; and (5) osmotic devices.
In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition can be formulated to ensure proper distribution in vivo. For example, to ensure that the therapeutic compounds of the invention cross the blood-brain barrier, they can be formulated in liposomes, which may additionally comprise targeting moieties to enhance selective transport to specific cells or organs.
TLR7 agonist compounds disclosed herein can be used for the treatment of a disease or condition that can be ameliorated by activation of TLR7.
In one embodiment, the TLR7 agonist is used in combination with an anti-cancer immunotherapy agent—also known as an immuno-oncology agent. An anti-cancer immunotherapy agent works by stimulating a body's immune system to attack and destroy cancer cells, especially through the activation of T cells. The immune system has numerous checkpoint (regulatory) molecules, to help maintain a balance between its attacking legitimate target cells and preventing it from attacking healthy, normal cells. Some are stimulators (up-regulators), meaning that their engagement promotes T cell activation and enhances the immune response. Others are inhibitors (down-regulators or brakes), meaning that their engagement inhibits T cell activation and abates the immune response. Binding of an agonistic immunotherapy agent to a stimulatory checkpoint molecule can lead to the latter's activation and an enhanced immune response against cancer cells. Reciprocally, binding of an antagonistic immunotherapy agent to an inhibitory checkpoint molecule can prevent down-regulation of the immune system by the latter and help maintain a vigorous response against cancer cells. Examples of stimulatory checkpoint molecules are B7-1, B7-2, CD28, 4-1BB (CD137), 4-1BBL, ICOS, CD40, ICOS-L, OX40, OX40L, GITR, GITRL, CD70, CD27, CD40, DR3 and CD28H. Examples of inhibitory checkpoint molecules are CTLA-4, PD-1, PD-L1, PD-L2, LAG-3, TIM-3, Galectin 9, CEACAM-1, BTLA, CD69, Galectin-1, CD113, GPR56, VISTA, 2B4, CD48, GARP, PD1H, LAIR1, TIM-1, CD96 and TIM-4.
Whichever the mode of action of an anti-cancer immunotherapy agent, its effectiveness can be increased by a general up-regulation of the immune system, such as by the activation of TLR7. Thus, in one embodiment, this specification provides a method of treating a cancer, comprising administering to a patient suffering from such cancer a therapeutically effective combination of an anti-cancer immunotherapy agent and a TLR7 agonist as disclosed herein. The timing of administration can be simultaneous, sequential, or alternating. The mode of administration can systemic or local. The TLR7 agonist can be delivered in a targeted manner, via a conjugate.

Table B below lists their alternative name(s) (brand name, former name, research code, or synonym) and the respective target checkpoint molecule.
In one embodiment of a combination treatment with a TLR7 agonist, the anti-cancer immunotherapy agent is an antagonistic anti-CTLA-4, anti-PD-1, or anti-PD-L1 antibody. The cancer can be lung cancer (including non-small cell lung cancer), pancreatic cancer, kidney cancer, head and neck cancer, lymphoma (including Hodgkin's lymphoma), skin cancer (including melanoma and Merkel skin cancer), urothelial cancer (including bladder cancer), gastric cancer, hepatocellular cancer, or colorectal cancer.
In another embodiment of a combination treatment with a TLR7 agonist, the anti-cancer immunotherapy agent is an antagonistic anti-CTLA-4 antibody, preferably ipilimumab.
In another embodiment of a combination treatment with a TLR7 agonist, the anti-cancer immunotherapy agent is an antagonistic anti-PD-1 antibody, preferably nivolumab or pembrolizumab.
The TLR7 agonists disclosed herein also are useful as vaccine adjuvants.
The practice of this invention can be further understood by reference to the following examples, which are provided by way of illustration and not of limitation.
The following conditions were used for obtaining proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra: NMR spectra were taken in either 400 Mz or 500 Mhz Bruker instrument using either DMSO-d6 or CDCl3 as solvent and internal standard. The crude NMR data was analyzed by using either ACD Spectrus version 2015-01 by ADC Labs or MestReNova software.
Chemical shifts are reported in parts per million (ppm) downfield from internal tetramethylsilane (TMS) or from the position of TMS inferred by the deuterated NMR solvent. Apparent multiplicities are reported as: singlet-s, doublet-d, triplet-t, quartet-q, or multiplet-m. Peaks that exhibit broadening are further denoted as br. Integrations are approximate. It should be noted that integration intensities, peak shapes, chemical shifts and coupling constants can be dependent on solvent, concentration, temperature, pH, and other factors. Further, peaks that overlap with or exchange with water or solvent peaks in the NMR spectrum may not provide reliable integration intensities. In some cases, NMR spectra may be obtained using water peak suppression, which may result in overlapping peaks not being visible or having altered shape and/or integration.
The following preparative and analytical (LC/MS) liquid chromatography procedures were used, as noted in Table A:
LC/MS Procedure A: Analytical LC/MS was used to determine the final purity and retention times. Injection conditions: Column: Waters XBridge C18, 2.1 mm×50 mm, 1.7 μm particles; Mobile Phase A: 5:95 acetonitrile:water with 0.1% TFA; Mobile Phase B: 95:5 acetonitrile:water with 0.1% TFA; Temperature: 50° C.; Gradient: 0% B to 100% B over 3 min, then a 0.50 min hold at 100% B; Flow: 1 mL/min; Detection: MS and UV (220 nm).
LCMS Method B: Column: Xbridge BEH C18 XP (50×2.1 mm), 2.5 μm; mobile phase A: 5:95 CH3CN:H2O with 0.1% CF3CO2H; mobile phase B: 95:5 CH3CN:H2O with 0.1% CF3CO2H; temperature: 50° C.; gradient: 0-100% B over 3 minutes; flow rate: 1.1 mL/min).
LCMS Method C: Column: Kinetex XB-C18 (75×3 mm), 2.6 μm; mobile phase A: 10 mM HCO2NH4 in water (pH 3.3); mobile phase B: CH3CN; temperature: 50° C.; gradient: 0-100% B over 3 minutes; flow rate: 1.1 mL/min).
LCMS Method D: Column: Xbridge BEH C18 XP (50×2.1 mm), 2.5 am; mobile phase A: 5:95 CH3CN:H2O with 10 mM NH4OAc; mobile phase B: 95:5 CH3CN:H2O with 10 mM NH4OAc; temperature: 50° C.; gradient: 0-100% B over 3 minutes; flow rate: 1.1 mL/min).
Generally, the procedures disclosed herein produce a mixture of regioisomers, alkylated at the 1H or 2H position of the pyrazolopyrimidine ring system (which are also referred to as N1 and N2 regioisomers, respectively, alluding to the nitrogen that is alkylated). For brevity, the N2 regioisomers are not shown for convenience, but it is to be understood that they are present in the initial product mixture and separated at a later time, for example by preparative HPLC.
The mixture of regioisomers can be separated at an early stage of the synthesis and the remaining synthetic steps carried out with the 1H regioisomer or, alternatively, the synthesis can be progressed carrying the mixture of regioisomers and separation effected at a later stage, as desired.
The compounds of the present disclosure can be prepared by a number of methods well known to one skilled in the art of synthetic organic chemistry. These methods include those described below, or variations thereof. Preferred methods include, but are not limited to, those described below in the Schemes below.
Compound K can be prepared by the synthetic sequence outlined in Scheme 1 above. Reduction of nitropyrazole A to afford compound B followed by cyclization with 1,3-bis(methoxycarbonyl)-2-methyl-2-thiopseudourea gives the hydroxypyrazolopyrimidine C. The amine RaNH2 is introduced using BOP/DBU coupling conditions, and the subsequent bromination using NBS (Step 4) gives the bromopyrazolopyrimidine E. Alkylation using a benzyl halide F gives a mixture of N1 and N2 products, which are separated, giving N1 intermediate G. Methyl carbamate deprotection (step 6) followed by tert-butyl carbamate deprotection gives intermediate I. Catalytic hydrogenation gives target molecule J. Alkylation or reductive amination of molecule J gives target molecule K (step 9). Coupling of the amine J with the acid using BOP (or HATU) conditions gives the target compound L.
Alternatively, intermediate G may be accessed using the route described in Scheme 2 above. Intermediate C is brominated using NBS, then alkylated to give the intermediate N. Amination then follows, using BOP coupling conditions to give intermediate G.
Another alternative route to the compound J is shown in scheme 3 above. Alkylation of intermediate D with benzyl halide F gives intermediate O. However, in this method the ratio of N1 isomer to N2 isomer is generally less favorable. Deprotection of tert-butyl carbamate followed by catalytic hydrogenation gives target molecule J. Sulfonylation of amine J gives target molecule P.
Compound R can be prepared by the synthetic sequence outlined in Scheme 4 above. Suzuki coupling of bromide G with boronic acids (or borane) gives intermediate Q. Deprotection of tert-butyl carbamate followed by catalytic hydrogenation gives target molecule R.
To further illustrate the foregoing, the following non-limiting, the following exemplary synthetic schemes are included. Variations of these examples within the scope of the the claims are within the purview of one skilled in the art and are considered to fall within the scope of this disclosure. The reader will recognize that the skilled artisan, provided with the present disclosure and skilled in the relevant art, will be able to prepare and use the compounds disclosed herein without exhaustive examples.

Chart 1 below show schemes for making compounds that could be useful as starting materials or intermediates for the preparation of TLR7 agonists disclosed herein. The schemes can be adapted to make other, analogous compounds that could be used as starting materials or intermediates. The reagents employed are well known in the art and in many instances their use has been demonstrated in the preceding Examples.
The biological activity of compounds disclosed herein as TLR7 agonists can be assayed by the procedures following.
This procedure describes a method for assaying human TLR7 (hTLR7) agonist activity of the compounds disclosed in this specification.
Engineered human embryonic kidney blue cells (HEK-Blue™ TLR cells; Invivogen) possessing a human TLR7-secreted embryonic alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) reporter transgene were suspended in a non-selective, culture medium (DMEM high-glucose (Invitrogen), supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Sigma)). HEK-Blue™ TLR7 cells were added to each well of a 384-well tissue-culture plate (15,000 cells per well) and incubated 16-18 h at 37° C., 5% CO2. Compounds (100 nl) were dispensed into wells containing the HEK-Blue™ TLR cells and the treated cells were incubated at 37° C., 5% CO2. After 18 h treatment ten microliters of freshly-prepared Quanti-Blue™ reagent (Invivogen) was added to each well, incubated for 30 min (37° C., 5% CO2) and SEAP levels measured using an Envision plate reader (OD=620 nm). The half maximal effective concentration values (EC50; compound concentration which induced a response halfway between the assay baseline and maximum) were calculated.
The induction of Type I interferon (IFN) MX-1 genes and the B-cell activation marker CD69 are downstream events that occur upon activation of the TLR7 pathway. The following is a human whole blood assay that measures their induction in response to a TLR7 agonist.
Heparinized human whole blood was harvested from human subjects and treated with test TLR7 agonist compounds at 1 mM. The blood was diluted with RPMI 1640 media and Echo was used to predot 10 nL per well giving a final concentration of 1 uM (10 nL in 10 uL of blood). After mixing on a shaker for 30 sec, the plates were covered and placed in a 37° C. chamber for o/n=17 hrs. Fixing/lysis buffer was prepared (5×->1× in H2O, warm at 37° C.; Cat #BD 558049) and kept the perm buffer (on ice) for later use.
For surface markers staining (CD69): prepared surface Abs: 0.045 ul hCD14-FITC (ThermoFisher Cat #MHCD1401)+0.6 ul hCD19-ef450 (ThermoFisher Cat #48-0198-42)+1.5 ul hCD69-PE (cat #BD555531)+0.855 ul FACS buffer. Added 3 ul/well, spin1000 rpm for 1 min and mixed on shaker for 30 sec, put on ice for 30 mins. Stop stimulation after 30 minutes with 70 uL of prewarmed 1× fix/lysis buffer and use Feliex mate to resuspend (15 times, change tips for each plate) and incubate at 37 C for 10 minutes.
Centrifuge at 2000 rpm for 5 minutes aspirate with HCS plate washer, mix on shaker for 30 sec and then wash with 70 uL in dPBS and pelleted 2×s (2000 rpm for 5 min) and 50 ul wash in FACS buffer pelleted 1×s (2000 rpm for 5 min). Mix on shaker for 30 sec. For Intracellular markers staining (MX-1): Add 50 ul of BD Perm buffer III and mix on shaker for 30 sec. Incubate on ice for 30 minutes (in the dark). Wash with 50 uL of FACS buffer 2×(spin @2300 rpm×5 min after perm) followed by mixing on shaker for 30 sec. Resuspended in 20 ul of FACS buffer containing MX1 antibody ( )(4812)-Alexa 647: Novus Biologicals #NBP2-43704AF647) 20 ul FACS bf+0.8 ul hIgG+0.04 ul MX-1. Spin 1000 rpm for 1 min, mix on shaker for 30 se and the samples were incubated at RT in the dark for 45 minutes followed by washing 2×FACS buffer (spin @2300 rpm×5 min after perm). Resuspend 20 ul (35 uL total per well) of FACS buffer and cover with foil and place in 4° C. to read the following day. Plates were read on iQuePlus. The results were loaded into toolset and IC50 curves are generated in curve master. The y-axis 100% is set to 1 uM of resiquimod.
The induction of TNF-alpha and Type I IFN response genes are downstream events that occur upon activation of the TLR7 pathway. The following is an assay that measures their induction in whole mouse blood in response to a TLR7 agonist.
Heparinized mouse whole blood was diluted with RPMI 1640 media with Pen-Strep in the ratio of 5:4 (50 uL whole blood and 40 uL of media). A volume of 90 uL of the diluted blood was transferred to wells of Falcon flat bottom 96-well tissue culture plates, and the plates were incubated at 4° C. for 1 h. Test compounds in 100% DMSO stocks were diluted 20-fold in the same media for concentration response assays, and then 10 uL of the diluted test compounds were added to the wells, so that the final DMSO concentration was 0.5%. Control wells received 10 uL media containing 5% DMSO. The plates were then incubated at 37° C. in a 5% CO2 incubator for 17 h. Following the incubation, 100 uL of the culture medium as added to each well. The plates were centrifuged and 130 uL of supernatant was removed for use in assays of TNFa production by ELISA (Invitrogen, Catalog Number 88-7324 by Thermo-Fisher Scientific). A 70 uL volume of mRNA catcher lysis buffer (1×) with DTT from the Invitrogen mRNA Catcher Plus kit (Cat #K1570-02) was added to the remaining 70 uL sample in the well, and was mixed by pipetting up and down 5 times. The plate was then shaken at RT for 5-10 min, followed by addition of 2 uL of proteinase K (20 mg/mL) to each well. Plates were then shaken for 15-20 min at RT. The plates were then stored at −80° C. until further processing.
The frozen samples were thawed and mRNA was extracted using the Invitrogen mRNA Catcher Plus kit (Cat #K1570-02) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Half yield of mRNA from RNA extraction were used to synthesize cDNA in 20 μL reverse transcriptase reactions using Invitrogen SuperScript IV VILO Master Mix (Cat #11756500). TaqMan® real-time PCR was performed using QuantStudio Real-Time PCR system from ThermoFisher (Applied Biosystems). All real-time PCR reactions were run in duplicate using commercial predesigned TaqMan assays for mouse IFIT1, IFIT3, MX1 and PPIA gene expression and TaqMan Master Mix. PPIA was utilized as the housekeeping gene. The recommendations from the manufacturer were followed. All raw data (Ct) were normalized by average housekeeping gene (Ct) and then the comparative Ct (ΔΔCt) method were utilized to quantify relative gene expression (RQ) for experimental analysis.
