TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates generally to inducing immune responses against infectious agents and tumor antigens and more specifically to self-transcribing and replicating RNA for antigen expression.


BACKGROUND

Infectious diseases and cancer represent significant burdens on health worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), lower respiratory tract infection was the deadliest infectious disease worldwide in 2016, causing approximately 3 million deaths. Current control measures to curb the rapid worldwide spread of infection diseases, such as national lockdowns, closure of work places and schools, and reduction of international travel are threatening to result in a global economic recession to an extent not seen since the Great Depression.


Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally, accounting for approximately 9.6 million deaths worldwide in 2018. Cancer is a large group of diseases that can affect almost any organ or tissue in the body. Cancer burden continues to grow globally, exerting physical, emotional, and financial strains on patients and health care providers. Self-replicating ribonucleic acids (RNAs), e.g., derived from viral replicons, are useful for expression of proteins, such as heterologous proteins, for a variety of purposes, such as expression of therapeutic proteins and expression of antigens for vaccines. A desirable property of such replicons is the ability for sustained expression of the protein.


Few treatments for infections caused by viruses and eukaryotic organisms are available, and resistance to antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial infections is increasing. In addition, rapid responses, including rapid vaccine development, are required to effectively control emerging infectious diseases and pandemics. Moreover, many cancer treatments include costly and painful surgeries and chemotherapies that are often unsuccessful or only modestly prolong life despite serious side effects. Thus, there exists a need for the prevention and/or treatment of infectious diseases and cancer.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS


FIG. 1 shows a schematic illustrating one aspect of STARR™ technology.



FIGS. 2A-2D show characterization of STARR™ technology with firefly luciferase transgene expression. (2A) Firefly luciferase (FLuc) expression from STARR™ Fluc, SINV FLuc, and mRNA FLuc was monitored up to day 28 by In Vivo Imaging System (IVIS). The average of total flux (p/s) from 6 injection sites in a mouse group was plotted at each time point with a standard error of mean, SEM. (2B) IVIS picture of three mice (6 injection sites) per group on day 14 is shown for each group that was administered with the test article labeled below the picture. (2C) Luciferase expression from mice that were intramuscularly injected with STARR™ FLuc was monitored by IVIS up to 63 days post administration. (2D) Effect of prior administration of replicon backbone was examined for STARR™ (upper panel) and SINV (lower panel). Replicon encoding FLuc was IM injected at 7 days post dose of replicon with homologous backbone with an irrelevant gene/sequence (labeled STARR™ in or SINV irr) at day 0. As a reference, a mouse group with PBS administration at day 0 was included in each of STARR™ and SINV group.



FIG. 3 shows that STARR™ elicits antigen-specific IFN-gamma response. Enzyme-linked immune absorbent spot ELISpot was used to count the number of splenocytes that were specifically stimulated by an antigen peptide of the same amino acid sequence encoded in TA STARR™. Neither no peptide (cell only) nor irrelevant peptide (Bgal) elicited significant IFN-gamma from splenocytes from mice vaccinated with STARR™ FLuc or TA STARR™. Stimulation with AH1-A5 peptide resulted in the detection of IFN-gamma-producing cells specifically from the mice that were vaccinated with TA STARR™. Concanavalin A (ConA) was used as a positive control of IFN-gamma production.



FIGS. 4A-4F illustrate reduced tumor growth rate by TA STARR™ vaccination in a CT26 syngeneic mouse model. CT26 murine colorectal carcinoma cells (5×105) were subcutaneously implanted in 10-week old female BALB/c mice (n=8 per group). On days 1 and 8, the mice were vaccinated with STARR™ FLuc, a negative control, or TA STARR™, which encodes AH1A5 epitope. Tumor growth was monitored in mice vaccinated with (4A) STARR™ FLuc without checkpoint inhibitor treatment; (4B) STARR™ FLuc with a combination anti-PD1/PDL1 treatment; (4C) STARR™ FLuc with a combination anti-CTLA4 treatment; (4D) STARR™ vaccine without checkpoint inhibitor treatment; (4E) STARR™ vaccine with a combination treatment of anti-PD1 and anti-PDL1; and (4F) STARR™ vaccine with a combination treatment of anti-CTLA4. The individual tumor growth curves from a mouse group that were administered with STARR™ FLuc and TA STARR™ are shown in upper and lower panels, respectively.



FIG. 5 illustrates prolonged protection by combination treatment of TA STARR™ Vaccine with checkpoint inhibitors. Mice that were treated with TA STARR™ combined with anti-PD1/PDL1 or anti-CTLA4 were found to be resistant to tumor development following the CT26 challenge at day 25 to 42. Naïve mice were used as a control for the CT26 tumor growth.



FIGS. 6A-6C show results from AH1-tetramer staining of CD8+ T-cells in the form of (6A) a graph and (6B and 6C) plots. Splenocytes from the mice group with combination treatment of TA STARR™ and anti-PD1/PDL1 at day 42 were stained with AH1 (H-2Ld)-tetramer. The staining was specific to CD8+ T cells from the mouse group with TA STARR™ treatment, and the population represented 9-17% of total CD8+ T cells from the splenocytes.



FIG. 7 shows HAI titers obtained for self-replicating RNA (STARR™) and mRNA constructs encoding the hemagglutinin of influenza virus A/California/07/2009 (H1N1).



FIGS. 8A-8B show (8A) RNA replication levels and (8B) luciferase reporter gene expression levels for the indicated self-replicating (replicon) RNAs as compared to mRNA.



FIGS. 9A-9C shows duration of luciferase reporter gene expression for self-replicating (replicon) RNA (STARR™), such as (9A) STARR™ FLuc, (9B) STARR™ FLuc IRES-E3L, and (9C) STARR™ FLuc IRES E3L (short 3′ UTR) as compared to mRNA.





DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present disclosure relates to self-replicating RNAs and nucleic acids encoding the same for expression of transgenes such as antigenic proteins and tumor antigens, for example. Also provided herein are methods of administration (e.g., to a host, such as a mammalian subject) of self-replicating RNAs, whereby the self-replicating RNA is translated in vivo and the heterologous protein-coding sequence is expressed and, e.g., can elicit an immune response to the heterologous protein-coding sequence in the recipient or provide a therapeutic effect, where the heterologous protein-coding sequence is a therapeutic protein. Self-replicating RNAs provided herein are useful as vaccines that can be rapidly generated and that can be effective at low and/or single doses. The present disclosure further relates to methods of inducing an immune response using self-replicating RNAs provided herein.


Definitions

As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural references unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, references to “the method” includes one or more methods, and/or steps of the type described herein which will become apparent to those persons skilled in the art upon reading this disclosure and so forth.


“About” as used herein when referring to a measurable value such as an amount, a temporal duration, and the like, is meant to encompass variations of +20%, or ±10%, or ±5%, or even ±1% from the specified value, as such variations are appropriate for the disclosed methods or to perform the disclosed methods.


As used herein, the term “fragment,” when referring to a protein or nucleic acid, for example, means any shorter sequence than the full-length protein or nucleic acid. Accordingly, any sequence of a nucleic acid or protein other than the full-length nucleic acid or protein sequence can be a fragment. In some aspects, a protein fragment includes an epitope. In other aspects, a protein fragment is an epitope.


As used herein, the term “nucleic acid” refers to any deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecule, ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecule, or nucleic acid analogues. A DNA or RNA molecule can be double-stranded or single-stranded and can be of any size. Exemplary nucleic acids include, but are not limited to, chromosomal DNA, plasmid DNA, cDNA, cell-free DNA (cfDNA), mitochondrial DNA, chloroplast DNA, viral DNA, mRNA, tRNA, rRNA, long non-coding RNA, siRNA, micro RNA (miRNA or miR), hnRNA, and viral RNA. Exemplary nucleic analogues include peptide nucleic acid, morpholino- and locked nucleic acid, glycol nucleic acid, and threose nucleic acid. As used herein, the term “nucleic acid molecule” is meant to include fragments of nucleic acid molecules as well as any full-length or non-fragmented nucleic acid molecule, for example. As used herein, the terms “nucleic acid” and “nucleic acid molecule” can be used interchangeably, unless context clearly indicates otherwise.


As used herein, the term “protein” refers to any polymeric chain of amino acids. The terms “peptide” and “polypeptide” can be used interchangeably with the term protein, unless context clearly indicates otherwise, and can also refer to a polymeric chain of amino acids. The term “protein” encompasses native or artificial proteins, protein fragments and polypeptide analogs of a protein sequence. A protein may be monomeric or polymeric. The term “protein” encompasses fragments and variants (including fragments of variants) thereof, unless otherwise contradicted by context.


In general, “sequence identity” or “sequence homology,” which can be used interchangeably, refer to an exact nucleotide-to-nucleotide or amino acid-to-amino acid correspondence of two polynucleotides or polypeptide sequences, respectively. Typically, techniques for determining sequence identity include determining the nucleotide sequence of a polynucleotide and/or determining the amino acid sequence encoded thereby or the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide, and comparing these sequences to a second nucleotide or amino acid sequence.


As used herein, the term “percent (%) sequence identity” or “percent (%) identity,” also including “homology,” refers to the percentage of amino acid residues or nucleotides in a sequence that are identical with the amino acid residues or nucleotides in a reference sequence after aligning the sequences and introducing gaps, if necessary, to achieve the maximum percent sequence identity, and not considering any conservative substitutions as part of the sequence identity. Thus, two or more sequences (polynucleotide or amino acid) can be compared by determining their “percent identity,” also referred to as “percent homology.” The percent identity to a reference sequence (e.g., nucleic acid or amino acid sequences), which may be a sequence within a longer molecule (e.g., polynucleotide or polypeptide), may be calculated as the number of exact matches between two optimally aligned sequences divided by the length of the reference sequence and multiplied by 100. Percent identity may also be determined, for example, by comparing sequence information using the advanced BLAST computer program, including version 2.2.9, available from the National Institutes of Health. The BLAST program is based on the alignment method of Karlin and Altschul, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87:2264-2268 (1990) and as discussed in Altschul et al., J. Mol. Biol. 215:403-410 (1990); Karlin and Altschul, Proc. Natl. Acad. sci. USA 90:5873-5877 (1993); and Altschul et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 25:3389-3402 (1997). Briefly, the BLAST program defines identity as the number of identical aligned symbols (i.e., nucleotides or amino acids), divided by the total number of symbols in the shorter of the two sequences. The program may be used to determine percent identity over the entire length of the sequences being compared. Default parameters are provided to optimize searches with short query sequences, for example, with the blastp program. The program also allows use of an SEG filter to mask-off segments of the query sequences as determined by the SEG program of Wootton and Federhen, Computers and Chemistry 17: 149-163 (1993). Ranges of desired degrees of sequence identity are approximately 80% to 100% and integer values in between. Percent identities between a reference sequence and a claimed sequence can be at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 98%, at least 99%, at least 99.5%, or at least 99.9%. In general, an exact match indicates 100% identity over the length of the reference sequence. Additional programs and methods for comparing sequences and/or assessing sequence identity include the Needleman-Wunsch algorithm (see, e.g., the EMBOSS Needle aligner available at ebi.ac.uk/Tools/psa/emboss needle/, optionally with default settings), the Smith-Waterman algorithm (see, e.g., the EMBOSS Water aligner available at ebi.ac.uk/Tools/psa/emboss water/, optionally with default settings), the similarity search method of Pearson and Lipman, 1988, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85, 2444, or computer programs which use these algorithms (GAP, BESTFIT, FASTA, BLAST P, BLAST N and TFASTA in Wisconsin Genetics Software Package, Genetics Computer Group. 575 Science Drive, Madison, Wis.). In some aspects, reference to percent sequence identity refers to sequence identity as measured using BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool). In other aspects, ClustalW is used for multiple sequence alignment. Optimal alignment may be assessed using any suitable parameters of a chosen algorithm, including default parameters.


The term “expression” refers to the process by which a nucleic acid sequence or a polynucleotide is transcribed from a DNA template (such as into mRNA or other RNA transcript) and/or the process by which a transcribed mRNA or other RNA is subsequently translated into peptides, polypeptides, or proteins. Transcripts and encoded polypeptides may be collectively referred to as “gene product.”


As used herein, “operably linked,” “operable linkage,” “operatively linked,” or grammatical equivalents thereof refer to juxtaposition of genetic elements, e.g., a promoter, an enhancer, a polyadenylation sequence, etc., wherein the elements are in a relationship permitting them to operate in the expected manner. For instance, a regulatory element, which can comprise promoter and/or enhancer sequences, is operatively linked to a coding region if the regulatory element helps initiate transcription of the coding sequence. There may be intervening residues between the regulatory element and coding region so long as this functional relationship is maintained.


As used herein, the term “drug” or “medicament,” means a pharmaceutical formulation or composition as described herein.


The phrases “administered in combination” or “combined administration” means that two or more agents are administered to a subject at the same time or within an interval such that there may be an overlap of an effect of each agent on the patient. In some embodiments, they are administered within about 60, 30, 15, 10, 5, or 1 minute of one another. In some embodiments, the administrations of the agents are spaced sufficiently closely together such that a ombinatorial (e.g., a synergistic) effect is achieved.


As used herein, the terms “self-replicating RNA,” “self-transcribing and self-replicating RNA,” “self-amplifying RNA (saRNA),” and “replicon” may be used interchangeably, unless context clearly indicates otherwise. Generally, the term “replicon” or “viral replicon” refers to a self-replicating subgenomic RNA derived from a viral genome that includes viral genes encoding non-structural proteins important for viral replication and that lacks viral genes encoding structural proteins. A self-replicating RNA can encode further subgenomic RNAs that are not able to self-replicate.


Nucleic Acid Molecules


In some embodiments, provided herein are nucleic acid molecules comprising: (i) a first polynucleotide encoding one or more viral replication proteins, wherein the first polynucleotide is codon-optimized as compared to a wild-type polynucleotide encoding the one or more viral replication proteins; and (ii) a second polynucleotide comprising a first transgene encoding a first antigenic protein or a fragment thereof.


An RNA molecule can encode a single polypeptide immunogen or multiple polypeptides. Multiple immunogens can be presented as a single polypeptide immunogen (fusion polypeptide) or as separate polypeptides. If immunogens are expressed as separate polypeptides from a replicon then one or more of these may be provided with an upstream IRES or an additional viral promoter element. Alternatively, multiple immunogens may be expressed from a polyprotein that encodes individual immunogens fused to a short autocatalytic protease (e.g. foot-and-mouth disease virus 2A protein), or as inteins.


Also provided herein, in some embodiments, are nucleic acid molecules comprising: (i) a first polynucleotide comprising a sequence having at least 80% identity to a sequence of SEQ ID NO:72; and (ii) a second polynucleotide comprising a first transgene encoding a first antigenic protein or a fragment thereof.


Codon Optimization


In some embodiments, first polynucleotides of nucleic acid molecules provided herein encoding one or more viral replication proteins include codon-optimized sequences. As used herein, the term “codon-optimized” means a polynucleotide, nucleic acid sequence, or coding sequence has been redesigned as compared to a wild-type or reference polynucleotide, nucleic acid sequence, or coding sequence by choosing different codons without altering the amino acid sequence of the encoded protein. Accordingly, codon-optimization generally refers to replacement of codons with synonymous codons to optimize expression of a protein while keeping the amino acid sequence of the translated protein the same. Codon optimization of a sequence can increase protein expression levels (Gustafsson et al., Codon bias and heterologous protein expression. 2004, Trends Biotechnol 22: 346-53) of the encoded proteins, for example, and provide other advantages. Variables such as codon usage preference as measured by codon adaptation index (CAI), for example, the presence or frequency of U and other nucleotides, mRNA secondary structures, cis-regulatory sequences, GC content, and other variables may correlate with protein expression levels (Villalobos et al., Gene Designer: a synthetic biology tool for constructing artificial DNA segments. 2006, BMC Bioinformatics 7:285).


Any method of codon optimization can be used to codon optimize polynucleotides and nucleic acid molecules provided herein, and any variable can be altered by codon optimization. Accordingly, any combination of codon optimization methods can be used. Exemplary methods include the high codon adaptation index (CAI) method, the Low U method, and others. The CAI method chooses a most frequently used synonymous codon for an entire protein coding sequence. As an example, the most frequently used codon for each amino acid can be deduced from 74,218 protein-coding genes from a human genome. The Low U method targets U-containing codons that can be replaced with a synonymous codon with fewer U moieties, generally without changing other codons. If there is more than one choice for replacement, the more frequently used codon can be selected. Any polynucleotide, nucleic acid sequence, or codon sequence provided herein can be codon-optimized. This method may be used in conjunction with the disclosed RNAs to design coding sequences that are to be synthesized with, for example, 5-methoxyuridine or N1-methyl pseudouridine. Methods of codon optimization in combination with the use of a modified nucleotide monomer are described in U.S. 2018/0327471, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference.


In some embodiments, the nucleotide sequence of any region of the RNA or DNA templates described herein may be codon optimized. Preferably, the primary cDNA template may include reducing the occurrence or frequency of appearance of certain nucleotides in the template strand. For example, the occurrence of a nucleotide in a template may be reduced to a level below 25% of said nucleotides in the template. In further examples, the occurrence of a nucleotide in a template may be reduced to a level below 20% of said nucleotides in the template. In some examples, the occurrence of a nucleotide in a template may be reduced to a level below 16% of said nucleotides in the template. Preferably, the occurrence of a nucleotide in a template may be reduced to a level below 15%, and preferably may be reduced to a level below 12% of said nucleotides in the template.


In some embodiments, the nucleotide reduced is uridine. For example, the present disclosure provides nucleic acids with altered uracil content wherein at least one codon in the wild-type sequence has been replaced with an alternative codon to generate a uracil-altered sequence. Altered uracil sequences can have at least one of the following properties:


(i) an increase or decrease in global uracil content (i.e., the percentage of uracil of the total nucleotide content in the nucleic acid of a section of the nucleic acid, e.g., the open reading frame);


(ii) an increase or decrease in local uracil content (i.e., changes in uracil content are limited to specific subsequences);


(iii) a change in uracil distribution without a change in the global uracil content;


(iv) a change in uracil clustering (e.g., number of clusters, location of clusters, or distance between clusters); or


(v) combinations thereof.


In some embodiments, the percentage of uracil nucleobases in the nucleic acid sequence is reduced with respect to the percentage of uracil nucleobases in the wild-type nucleic acid sequence. For example, 30% of nucleobases may be uracil in the wild-type sequence but the nucleobases that are uracil are preferably lower than 15%, preferably lower than 12% and preferably lower than 10% of the nucleobases in the nucleic acid sequences of the disclosure. The percentage uracil content can be determined by dividing the number of uracil in a sequence by the total number of nucleotides and multiplying by 100.


In some embodiments, the percentage of uracil nucleobases in a subsequence of the nucleic acid sequence is reduced with respect to the percentage of uracil nucleobases in the corresponding subsequence of the wild-type sequence. For example, the wild-type sequence may have a 5′-end region (e.g., 30 codons) with a local uracil content of 30%, and the uracil content in that same region could be reduced to preferably 15% or lower, preferably 12% or lower and preferably 10% or lower in the nucleic acid sequences of the disclosure. These subsequences can also be part of the wild-type sequences of the heterologous 5′ and 3′ UTR sequences of the present disclosure.


In some embodiments, codons in the nucleic acid sequence of the disclosure reduce or modify, for example, the number, size, location, or distribution of uracil clusters that could have deleterious effects on protein translation. Although lower uracil content is desirable in certain aspects, the uracil content, and in particular the local uracil content, of some subsequences of the wild-type sequence can be greater than the wild-type sequence and still maintain beneficial features (e.g., increased expression).


In some embodiments, the uracil-modified sequence induces a lower Toll-Like Receptor (TLR) response when compared to the wild-type sequence. Several TLRs recognize and respond to nucleic acids. Double-stranded (ds)RNA, a frequent viral constituent, has been shown to activate TLR3. Single-stranded (ss)RNA activates TLR7. RNA oligonucleotides, for example RNA with phosphorothioate internucleotide linkages, are ligands of human TLR8. DNA containing unmethylated CpG motifs, characteristic of bacterial and viral DNA, activate TLR9.


As used herein, the term “TLR response” is defined as the recognition of single-stranded RNA by a TLR7 receptor, and preferably encompasses the degradation of the RNA and/or physiological responses caused by the recognition of the single-stranded RNA by the receptor. Methods to determine and quantify the binding of an RNA to a TLR7 are known in the art. Similarly, methods to determine whether an RNA has triggered a TLR7-mediated physiological response (e.g., cytokine secretion) are well known in the art. In some embodiments, a TLR response can be mediated by TLR3, TLR8, or TLR9 instead of TLR7. Suppression of TLR7-mediated response can be accomplished via nucleoside modification. RNA undergoes over a hundred different nucleoside modifications in nature. Human rRNA, for example, has ten times more pseudouracil (′P) and 25 times more 2′-O-methylated nucleosides than bacterial rRNA. Bacterial RNA contains no nucleoside modifications, whereas mammalian RNAs have modified nucleosides such as 5-methylcytidine (m5C), N6-methyladenosine (m6A), inosine and many 2′-O-methylated nucleosides in addition to N7-methylguanosine (m7G).


In some embodiments, the uracil content of polynucleotides disclosed herein is less than about 50%, 49%, 48%, 47%, 46%, 45%, 44%, 43%, 42%, 41%, 40%, 39%, 38%, 37%, 36%, 35%, 34%, 33%, 32%, 31%, 30%, 29%, 28%, 27%, 26%, 25%, 24%, 23%, 22%, 21%, 20%, 19%, 18%, 17%, 16%, 15%, 14%, 13%, 12%, 11%, 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2% or 1% of the total nucleobases in the sequence in the reference sequence.

These bases are typically fixed to a ribose or deoxy ribose at the 1′ position. The use of RNA polynucleotides comprising chemically modified nucleotides have been shown to improve RNA expression, expression rates, half-life and/or expressed protein concentrations.

Viral Replication Proteins and Polynucleotides Encoding them


Provided herein, in some embodiments, are nucleic acid molecules comprising a first polynucleotide encoding one or more viral replication proteins. As used herein, the term “replication protein” or “viral replication protein” refers to any protein or any protein subunit of a protein complex that functions in replication of a viral genome. Generally, viral replication proteins are non-structural proteins. Viral replication proteins encoded by nucleic acid molecules provided herein can function in the replication of any viral genome. The viral genome can be a single-stranded positive-sense RNA genome, a single-stranded negative-sense RNA genome, a double-stranded RNA genome, a single-stranded positive-sense DNA genome, a single-stranded negative-sense DNA genome, or a double-stranded DNA genome. Viral genomes can include a single nucleic acid molecule or more than one nucleic acid molecule. Nucleic acid molecules provided herein can encode one or more viral replication proteins from any virus or virus family, including animal viruses and plant viruses, for example. Viral replication proteins encoded by first polynucleotides included in nucleic acid molecules provided herein can be expressed from self-replicating RNA.


First polynucleotide sequences of nucleic acid molecules provided herein can encode one or more togavirus replication proteins. In some aspects, the one or more viral replication proteins encoded by first polynucleotides of nucleic acid molecules provided herein are alphavirus proteins. In some embodiments, the one or more viral replication proteins encoded by first polynucleotides of nucleic acid molecules provided herein are rubivirus proteins. First polynucleotide sequences of nucleic acid molecules provided herein can encode any alphavirus replication protein and any rubivirus replication protein.

Exemplary rubivirus replication proteins include proteins from rubella virus.


Viral replication proteins encoded by first polynucleotides of nucleic acid molecules provided herein can be expressed as one or more polyproteins or as separate or single proteins. Generally, polyproteins are precursor proteins that are cleaved to generate individual or separate proteins. Accordingly, proteins derived from a precursor polyprotein can be expressed from a single open reading frame (ORF). As used herein, the term “ORF” refers to a nucleotide sequence that begins with a start codon, generally ATG, and that ends with a stop codon, such as TAA, TAG, or TGA, for example. It will be appreciated that T is present in DNA, while U is present in RNA. Accordingly, a start codon of ATG in DNA corresponds to AUG in RNA, and the stop codons TAA, TAG, and TGA in DNA correspond to UAA, UAG, and UGA in RNA. It will further be appreciated that for any sequence provided in the present disclosure, T is present in DNA, while U is present in RNA. Accordingly, for any sequence provided herein, T present in DNA is substituted with U for an RNA molecule, and U present in RNA is substituted with T for a DNA molecule.


The protease cleaving a polyprotein can be a viral protease or a cellular protease. In some aspects, the first polynucleotide of nucleic acid molecules provided herein encodes a polyprotein comprising an alphavirus nsP1 protein, an alphavirus nsP2 protein, an alphavirus nsP3 protein, an alphavirus nsP4 protein, or any combination thereof. In other aspects, the first polynucleotide of nucleic acid molecules provided herein encodes a polyprotein comprising an alphavirus nsP1 protein, an alphavirus nsP2 protein, an alphavirus nsP3 protein, or any combination thereof, and an alphavirus nsP4 protein. In some aspects, the polyprotein is a VEEV polyprotein. In other aspects, the alphavirus nsP1, nsP2, nsP3, and nsP4 proteins are VEEV proteins.


In one aspect, first polynucleotides of nucleic acid molecules provided herein lack a stop codon between sequences encoding an nsP3 protein and an nsP4 protein. Accordingly, in some aspects, first polynucleotides of nucleic acid molecules provided herein encode a P1234 polyprotein comprising nsP1, nsP2, nsP3, and nsP4.

Triple Stop Codon


In some embodiments, the self-replicating RNA may comprise a sequence immediately downstream of a coding region (i.e., ORF) that creates a triple stop codon. A triple stop codon is a sequence of three consecutive stop codons. The triple stop codon can ensure total insulation of an expression cassette and may be incorporated to enhance the efficiency of translation. In some embodiments, a self-replicating RNA of the disclosure may comprise a triple combination of any of the sequences UAG, UGA, or UAA immediately downstream of a ORF described herein. The triple combination can be three of the same codons, three different codons, or any other permutation of the three stop codons.


Translation Enhancers and Kozak Sequences


For translation initiation, proper interactions between ribosomes and mRNAs must be established to determine the exact position of the translation initiation region. However, ribosomes also must dissociate from the translation initiation region to slide toward the downstream sequence during mRNA translation. Translation enhancers upstream from initiation sequences of mRNAs enhance the yields of protein biosynthesis. Several studies have investigated the effects of translation enhancers. In some embodiments, an mRNA described herein comprises a translation enhancer sequence. These translation enhancer sequences enhance the translation efficiency of a self-replicating RNA of the disclosure and thereby provide increased production of the protein encoded by the mRNA. The translation enhancer region may be located in the 5′ or 3′ UTR of an mRNA sequence. Examples of translation enhancer regions include naturally-occurring enhancer regions from the TEV 5′ UTR and the Xenopus beta-globin 3′ UTR. Exemplary 5′ UTR enhancer sequences include but are not limited to those derived from mRNAs encoding human heat shock proteins (HSP) including HSP70-P2, HSP70-M1 HSP72-M2, HSP17.9 and HSP70-P1. Preferred translation enhancer sequences used in accordance with the embodiments of the present disclosure are represented by SEQ ID Nos: 11-15 as shown in Table 3.

In some embodiments, a self-replicating RNA of the disclosure comprises a Kozak sequence. As is understood in the art, a Kozak sequence is a short consensus sequence centered around the translational initiation site of eukaryotic mRNAs that allows for efficient initiation of translation of the mRNA. See, for example, Kozak, Marilyn (1988) Mol. and Cell Biol, 8:2737-2744; Kozak, Marilyn (1991) J. Biol. Chem, 266: 19867-19870; Kozak, Marilyn (1990) Proc Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 87:8301-8305; and Kozak, Marilyn (1989) J. Cell Biol, 108:229-241. It ensures that a protein is correctly translated from the genetic message, mediating ribosome assembly and translation initiation. The ribosomal translation machinery recognizes the AUG initiation codon in the context of the Kozak sequence. A Kozak sequence may be inserted upstream of the coding sequence for the protein of interest, downstream of a 5′ UTR or inserted upstream of the coding sequence for the protein of interest and downstream of a 5′ UTR. In some embodiments, a self-replicating RNA described herein comprises a Kozak sequence having the amino acid sequence GCCACC (SEQ ID NO: 23). Preferably a self-replicating RNA described herein comprises a partial Kozak sequence “p” having the amino acid sequence GCCA (SEQ ID NO: 24).

Only those mRNAs that carry the Cap structure are active in Cap dependent translation; “decapitation” of mRNA results in an almost complete loss of their template activity for protein synthesis (Nature, 255:33-37, (1975); J. Biol. Chem., vol. 253:5228-5231, (1978); and Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 72:1189-1193, (1975)).


Another element of eukaryotic mRNA is the presence of 2′-O-methyl nucleoside residues at transcript position 1 (Cap 1), and in some cases, at transcript positions 1 and 2 (Cap 2). The 2′-O-methylation of mRNA provides higher efficacy of mRNA translation in vivo (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 77:3952-3956 (1980)) and further improves nuclease stability of the 5′-capped mRNA. The mRNA with Cap 1 (and Cap 2) is a distinctive mark that allows cells to recognize the bona fide mRNA 5′ end, and in some instances, to discriminate against transcripts emanating from infectious genetic elements (Nucleic Acid Research 43: 482-492 (2015)).

Poly-Adenine (Poly-A) Tail


Polyadenylation is the addition of a poly(A) tail, a chain of adenine nucleotides usually about 100-120 monomers in length, to a mRNA. In eukaryotes, polyadenylation is part of the process that produces mature mRNA for translation and begins as the transcription of a gene terminates. The 3′-most segment of a newly made pre-mRNA is first cleaved off by a set of proteins; these proteins then synthesize the poly(A) tail at the 3′ end. The poly(A) tail is important for the nuclear export, translation, and stability of mRNA. The tail is shortened over time, and, when it is short enough, the mRNA is enzymatically degraded. However, in a few cell types, mRNAs with short poly(A) tails are stored for later activation by re-polyadenylation in the cytosol.


Preferably, a self-replicating RNA of the disclosure comprises a 3′ tail region, which can serve to protect the RNA from exonuclease degradation. The tail region may be a 3′poly(A) and/or 3′poly(C) region. Preferably, the tail region is a 3′ poly(A) tail. As used herein a “3′ poly(A) tail” is a polymer of sequential adenine nucleotides that can range in size from, for example: 10 to 250 sequential adenine nucleotides; 60-125 sequential adenine nucleotides, 90-125 sequential adenine nucleotides, 95-125 sequential adenine nucleotides, 95-121 sequential adenine nucleotides, 100 to 121 sequential adenine nucleotides, 110-121 sequential adenine nucleotides; 112-121 sequential adenine nucleotides; 114-121 adenine sequential nucleotides; or 115 to 121 sequential adenine nucleotides. Preferably, a 3′ poly(A) tail as described herein comprise 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124, or 125 sequential adenine nucleotides. 3′ Poly(A) tails can be added using a variety of methods known in the art, e.g., using poly(A) polymerase to add tails to synthetic or in vitro transcribed RNA. Other methods include the use of a transcription vector to encode poly(A) tails or the use of a ligase (e.g., via splint ligation using a T4 RNA ligase and/or T4 DNA ligase), wherein poly(A) may be ligated to the 3′ end of a sense RNA. In some embodiments, a combination of any of the above methods is utilized.

RNA sequences can include any combination of the RNA sequences listed in Table 4. In some embodiments, RNA sequences of the present disclosure include any combination of the RNA sequences listed in Table 4 in which 0% to 100%, 1% to 100%, 25% to 100%, 50% to 100% and 75% to 100% of the uracil nucleotides of the mRNA sequences are modified. In some embodiments, 1% to 100% of the uracil nucleotides are N1-methylpseudouridine or 5-methoxyuridine. In some embodiments, 100% of the uracil nucleotides are N1-methylpseudouridine. In some embodiments, 100% of the uracil nucleotides are 5-methoxyuridine.


A self-replicating RNA of the disclosure may be obtained by any suitable means. Methods for the manufacture of self-replicating RNA are known in the art and would be readily apparent to a person of ordinary skill. A self-replicating RNA of the disclosure may be prepared according to any available technique including, but not limited to chemical synthesis, in vitro transcription (IVT) or enzymatic or chemical cleavage of a longer precursor, etc.


In some embodiments, a self-replicating RNA of the disclosure is produced from a primary complementary DNA (cDNA) construct. The cDNA constructs can be produced on an RNA template by the action of a reverse transcriptase (e.g., RNA-dependent DNA-polymerase). The process of design and synthesis of the primary cDNA constructs described herein generally includes the steps of gene construction, RNA production (either with or without modifications) and purification. In the IVT method, a target polynucleotide sequence encoding a self-replicating RNA of the disclosure is first selected for incorporation into a vector which will be amplified to produce a cDNA template. Optionally, the target polynucleotide sequence and/or any flanking sequences may be codon optimized. The cDNA template is then used to produce a self-replicating RNA of the disclosure through in vitro transcription (IVT). After production, the self-replicating RNA of the disclosure may undergo purification and clean-up processes. The steps of which are provided in more detail below.


The step of gene construction may include, but is not limited to gene synthesis, vector amplification, plasmid purification, plasmid linearization and clean-up, and cDNA template synthesis and clean-up. Once a protein of interest is selected for production, a primary construct is designed. Within the primary construct, a first region of linked nucleosides encoding the polypeptide of interest may be constructed using an open reading frame (ORF) of a selected nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) transcript. The ORF may comprise the wild type ORF, an isoform, variant or a fragment thereof. As used herein, an “open reading frame” or “ORF” is meant to refer to a nucleic acid sequence (DNA or RNA) which is capable of encoding a polypeptide of interest. ORFs often begin with the start codon, ATG and end with a nonsense or termination codon or signal.


The cDNA templates may be transcribed to produce a self-replicating RNA of the disclosure using an in vitro transcription (IVT) system. The system typically comprises a transcription buffer, nucleotide triphosphates (NTPs), an RNase inhibitor and a polymerase. The NTPs may be selected from, but are not limited to, those described herein including natural and unnatural (modified) NTPs. The polymerase may be selected from, but is not limited to, T7 RNA polymerase, T3 RNA polymerase and mutant polymerases such as, but not limited to, polymerases able to incorporate modified nucleic acids.


The primary cDNA template or transcribed RNA sequence may also undergo capping and/or tailing reactions. A capping reaction may be performed by methods known in the art to add a 5′ cap to the 5′ end of the primary construct. Methods for capping include, but are not limited to, using a Vaccinia Capping enzyme (New England Biolabs, Ipswich, Mass.) or capping at initiation of in vitro transcription, by for example, including a capping agent as part of the IVT reaction. (Nuc. Acids Symp. (2009) 53:129). A poly(A) tailing reaction may be performed by methods known in the art, such as, but not limited to, 2′ O-methyltransferase and by methods as described herein. If the primary construct generated from cDNA does not include a poly-T, it may be beneficial to perform the poly(A)-tailing reaction before the primary construct is cleaned.


The present disclosure also provides expression vectors comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a self-replicating RNA that is preferably operably linked to at least one regulatory sequence. Regulatory sequences are art-recognized and are selected to direct expression of the encoded polypeptide.


Accordingly, the term regulatory sequence includes promoters, enhancers, and other expression control elements. The design of the expression vector may depend on such factors as the choice of the host cell to be transformed and/or the type of protein desired to be expressed.


The present disclosure also provides polynucleotides (e.g. DNA, RNA, cDNA, mRNA, etc.) directed to a self-replicating RNA of the disclosure that may be operably linked to one or more regulatory nucleotide sequences in an expression construct, such as a vector or plasmid. In certain embodiments, such constructs are DNA constructs. Regulatory nucleotide sequences will generally be appropriate for a host cell used for expression. Numerous types of appropriate expression vectors and suitable regulatory sequences are known in the art for a variety of host cells.


Typically, said one or more regulatory nucleotide sequences may include, but are not limited to, promoter sequences, leader or signal sequences, ribosomal binding sites, transcriptional start and termination sequences, translational start and termination sequences, and enhancer or activator sequences. Constitutive or inducible promoters as known in the art are contemplated by the embodiments of the present disclosure. The promoters may be either naturally occurring promoters, or hybrid promoters that combine elements of more than one promoter.


An expression construct may be present in a cell on an episome, such as a plasmid, or the expression construct may be inserted in a chromosome. In some embodiments, the expression vector contains a selectable marker gene to allow the selection of transformed host cells. Selectable marker genes are well known in the art and will vary with the host cell used.


The present disclosure also provides a host cell transfected with a self-replicating RNA or DNA described herein. The host cell may be any prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell. For example, a polypeptide encoded by a self-replicating RNA may be expressed in bacterial cells such as E. coli, insect cells (e.g., using a baculovirus expression system), yeast, or mammalian cells. Other suitable host cells are known to those skilled in the art.


The present disclosure also provides a host cell comprising a vector comprising a polynucleotide which encodes a self-replicating RNA sequence provided herein.


A host cell transfected with an expression vector comprising a self-replicating RNA of the disclosure can be cultured under appropriate conditions to allow expression of the amplification of the self-replicating RNA and translation of the polypeptide to occur. The polypeptide may be secreted and isolated from a mixture of cells and medium containing the polypeptides. Alternatively, the polypeptides may be retained in the cytoplasm or in a membrane fraction and the cells harvested, lysed and the protein isolated. A cell culture includes host cells, media and other byproducts. Suitable media for cell culture are well known in the art.


The expressed proteins described herein can be isolated from cell culture medium, host cells, or both using techniques known in the art for purifying proteins, including ion-exchange chromatography, gel filtration chromatography, ultrafiltration, electrophoresis, and immunoaffinity purification with antibodies specific for particular epitopes of the polypeptide.

Lipid Formulations/LNPs


Therapies based on the intracellular delivery of nucleic acids to target cells face both extracellular and intracellular barriers. Indeed, naked nucleic acid materials cannot be easily systemically administered due to their toxicity, low stability in serum, rapid renal clearance, reduced uptake by target cells, phagocyte uptake and their ability in activating the immune response, all features that preclude their clinical development. When exogenous nucleic acid material (e.g., mRNA) enters the human biological system, it is recognized by the reticuloendothelial system (RES) as foreign pathogens and cleared from blood circulation before having the chance to encounter target cells within or outside the vascular system. It has been reported that the half-life of naked nucleic acid in the blood stream is around several minutes (Kawabata K, Takakura Y, Hashida MPharm Res. 1995 June; 12(6):825-30). Chemical modification and a proper delivery method can reduce uptake by the RES and protect nucleic acids from degradation by ubiquitous nucleases, which increase stability and efficacy of nucleic acid-based therapies. In addition, RNAs or DNAs are anionic hydrophilic polymers that are not favorable for uptake by cells, which are also anionic at the surface. The success of nucleic acid-based therapies thus depends largely on the development of vehicles or vectors that can efficiently and effectively deliver genetic material to target cells and obtain sufficient levels of expression in vivo with minimal toxicity.


Moreover, upon internalization into a target cell, nucleic acid delivery vectors are challenged by intracellular barriers, including endosome entrapment, lysosomal degradation, nucleic acid unpacking from vectors, translocation across the nuclear membrane (for DNA), release at the cytoplasm (for RNA), and so on. Successful nucleic acid-based therapy thus depends upon the ability of the vector to deliver the nucleic acids to the target sites inside of the cells in order to obtain sufficient levels of a desired activity such as expression of a gene.


While several gene therapies have been able to successfully utilize a viral delivery vector (e.g., AAV), lipid-based formulations have been increasingly recognized as one of the most promising delivery systems for RNA and other nucleic acid compounds due to their biocompatibility and their ease of large-scale production. One of the most significant advances in lipid-based nucleic acid therapies happened in August 2018 when Patisiran (ALN-TTR02) was the first siRNA therapeutic approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and by the European Commission (EC). ALN-TTR02 is an siRNA formulation based upon the so-called Stable Nucleic Acid Lipid Particle (SNALP) transfecting technology. Despite the success of Patisiran, the delivery of nucleic acid therapeutics, including mRNA, via lipid formulations is still under ongoing development.


Some art-recognized lipid-formulated delivery vehicles for nucleic acid therapeutics include, according to various embodiments, polymer based carriers, such as polyethyleneimine (PEI), lipid nanoparticles and liposomes, nanoliposomes, ceramide-containing nanoliposomes, multivesicular liposomes, proteoliposomes, both natural and synthetically-derived exosomes, natural, synthetic and semi-synthetic lamellar bodies, nanoparticulates, micelles, and emulsions. These lipid formulations can vary in their structure and composition, and as can be expected in a rapidly evolving field, several different terms have been used in the art to describe a single type of delivery vehicle. At the same time, the terms for lipid formulations have varied as to their intended meaning throughout the scientific literature, and this inconsistent use has caused confusion as to the exact meaning of several terms for lipid formulations. Among the several potential lipid formulations, liposomes, cationic liposomes, and lipid nanoparticles are specifically described in detail and defined herein for the purposes of the present disclosure.


Liposomes


Conventional liposomes are vesicles that consist of at least one bilayer and an internal aqueous compartment. Bilayer membranes of liposomes are typically formed by amphiphilic molecules, such as lipids of synthetic or natural origin that comprise spatially separated hydrophilic and hydrophobic domains (Lasic, Trends Biotechnol., 16: 307-321, 1998). Bilayer membranes of the liposomes can also be formed by amphiphilic polymers and surfactants (e.g., polymerosomes, niosomes, etc.). They generally present as spherical vesicles and can range in size from 20 nm to a few microns. Liposomal formulations can be prepared as a colloidal dispersion or they can be lyophilized to reduce stability risks and to improve the shelf-life for liposome-based drugs. Methods of preparing liposomal compositions are known in the art and would be within the skill of an ordinary artisan.


Liposomes that have only one bilayer are referred to as being unilamellar, and those having more than one bilayer are referred to as multilamellar. The most common types of liposomes are small unilamellar vesicles (SUV), large unilamellar vesicle (LUV), and multilamellar vesicles (MLV). In contrast to liposomes, lysosomes, micelles, and reversed micelles are composed of monolayers of lipids. Generally, a liposome is thought of as having a single interior compartment, however some formulations can be multivesicular liposomes (MVL), which consist of numerous discontinuous internal aqueous compartments separated by several nonconcentric lipid bilayers.


Liposomes have long been perceived as drug delivery vehicles because of their superior biocompatibility, given that liposomes are basically analogs of biological membranes, and can be prepared from both natural and synthetic phospholipids (Int J Nanomedicine. 2014; 9:1833-1843). In their use as drug delivery vehicles, because a liposome has an aqueous solution core surrounded by a hydrophobic membrane, hydrophilic solutes dissolved in the core cannot readily pass through the bilayer, and hydrophobic compounds will associate with the bilayer. Thus, a liposome can be loaded with hydrophobic and/or hydrophilic molecules. When a liposome is used to carry a nucleic acid such as RNA, the nucleic acid will be contained within the liposomal compartment in an aqueous phase.


Cationic Liposomes


Liposomes can be composed of cationic, anionic, and/or neutral lipids. As an important subclass of liposomes, cationic liposomes are liposomes that are made in whole or part from positively charged lipids, or more specifically a lipid that comprises both a cationic group and a lipophilic portion. In addition to the general characteristics profiled above for liposomes, the positively charged moieties of cationic lipids used in cationic liposomes provide several advantages and some unique structural features. For example, the lipophilic portion of the cationic lipid is hydrophobic and thus will direct itself away from the aqueous interior of the liposome and associate with other nonpolar and hydrophobic species. Conversely, the cationic moiety will associate with aqueous media and more importantly with polar molecules and species with which it can complex in the aqueous interior of the cationic liposome. For these reasons, cationic liposomes are increasingly being researched for use in gene therapy due to their favorability towards negatively charged nucleic acids via electrostatic interactions, resulting in complexes that offer biocompatibility, low toxicity, and the possibility of the large-scale production required for in vivo clinical applications. Cationic lipids suitable for use in cationic liposomes are listed herein below.


Lipid Nanoparticles


In contrast to liposomes and cationic liposomes, lipid nanoparticles (LNP) have a structure that includes a single monolayer or bilayer of lipids that encapsulates a compound in a solid phase. Thus, unlike liposomes, lipid nanoparticles do not have an aqueous phase or other liquid phase in its interior, but rather the lipids from the bilayer or monolayer shell are directly complexed to the internal compound thereby encapsulating it in a solid core. Lipid nanoparticles are typically spherical vesicles having a relatively uniform dispersion of shape and size. While sources vary on what size qualifies a lipid particle as being a nanoparticle, there is some overlap in agreement that a lipid nanoparticle can have a diameter in the range of from 10 nm to 1000 nm. However, more commonly they are considered to be smaller than 120 nm or even 100 nm.


For lipid nanoparticle nucleic acid delivery systems, the lipid shell is formulated to include an ionizable cationic lipid which can complex to and associate with the negatively charged backbone of the nucleic acid core. Ionizable cationic lipids with apparent pKa values below about 7 have the benefit of providing a cationic lipid for complexing with the nucleic acid's negatively charged backbone and loading into the lipid nanoparticle at pH values below the pKa of the ionizable lipid where it is positively charged. Then, at physiological pH values, the lipid nanoparticle can adopt a relatively neutral exterior allowing for a significant increase in the circulation half-lives of the particles following i.v. administration. In the context of nucleic acid delivery, lipid nanoparticles offer many advantages over other lipid-based nucleic acid delivery systems including high nucleic acid encapsulation efficiency, potent transfection, improved penetration into tissues to deliver therapeutics, and low levels of cytotoxicity and immunogenicity.


Prior to the development of lipid nanoparticle delivery systems for nucleic acids, cationic lipids were widely studied as synthetic materials for delivery of nucleic acid medicines. In these early efforts, after mixing together at physiological pH, nucleic acids were condensed by cationic lipids to form lipid-nucleic acid complexes known as lipoplexes. However, lipoplexes proved to be unstable and characterized by broad size distributions ranging from the submicron scale to a few microns. Lipoplexes, such as the Lipofectamine® reagent, have found considerable utility for in vitro transfection. However, these first-generation lipoplexes have not proven useful in vivo. The large particle size and positive charge (imparted by the cationic lipid) result in rapid plasma clearance, hemolytic and other toxicities, as well as immune system activation.


In some aspects, nucleic acid molecules provided herein and lipids or lipid formulations provided herein form a lipid nanoparticle (LNP).


In other aspects, nucleic acid molecules provided herein are incorporated into a lipid formulation (i.e., a lipid-based delivery vehicle).


In the context of the present disclosure, a lipid-based delivery vehicle typically serves to transport a desired RNA to a target cell or tissue. The lipid-based delivery vehicle can be any suitable lipid-based delivery vehicle known in the art. In some aspects, the lipid-based delivery vehicle is a liposome, a cationic liposome, or a lipid nanoparticle containing a self-replicating RNA of the disclosure. In some aspects, the lipid-based delivery vehicle comprises a nanoparticle or a bilayer of lipid molecules and a self-replicating RNA of the disclosure. In some aspects, the lipid bilayer further comprises a neutral lipid or a polymer. In some aspects, the lipid formulation comprises a liquid medium.

In some aspects, the total lipid:RNA ratio (mass/mass ratio) is from about 30:1 to about 45:1. The ratio may be any value or subvalue within the recited ranges, including endpoints.


The lipid formulations of the present disclosure typically have a mean diameter of from about 30 nm to about 150 nm, from about 40 nm to about 150 nm, from about 50 nm to about 150 nm, from about 60 nm to about 130 nm, from about 70 nm to about 110 nm, from about 70 nm to about 100 nm, from about 80 nm to about 100 nm, from about 90 nm to about 100 nm, from about 70 to about 90 nm, from about 80 nm to about 90 nm, from about 70 nm to about 80 nm, or about 30 nm, about 35 nm, about 40 nm, about 45 nm, about 50 nm, about 55 nm, about 60 nm, about 65 nm, about 70 nm, about 75 nm, about 80 nm, about 85 nm, about 90 nm, about 95 nm, about 100 nm, about 105 nm, about 110 nm, about 115 nm, about 120 nm, about 125 nm, about 130 nm, about 135 nm, about 140 nm, about 145 nm, or about 150 nm, and are substantially non-toxic. The diameter may be any value or subvalue within the recited ranges, including endpoints. In addition, nucleic acids, when present in the lipid nanoparticles of the present disclosure, generally are resistant in aqueous solution to degradation with a nuclease.


In some aspects, the lipid formulations comprise a self-replicating RNA, a cationic lipid (e.g., one or more cationic lipids or salts thereof described herein), a phospholipid, and a conjugated lipid that inhibits aggregation of the particles (e.g., one or more PEG-lipid conjugates). The lipid formulations can also include cholesterol. In one aspect, the cationic lipid is an ionizable cationic lipid.


In the nucleic acid-lipid formulations, the RNA may be fully encapsulated within the lipid portion of the formulation, thereby protecting the nucleic acid from nuclease degradation. In some aspects, a lipid formulation comprising an RNA is fully encapsulated within the lipid portion of the lipid formulation, thereby protecting the nucleic acid from nuclease degradation. In certain aspects, the RNA in the lipid formulation is not substantially degraded after exposure of the particle to a nuclease at 37° C. for at least 20, 30, 45, or 60 minutes. In certain other aspects, the RNA in the lipid formulation is not substantially degraded after incubation of the formulation in serum at 37° C. for at least 30, 45, or 60 minutes or at least 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, or 36 hours. In some aspects, the RNA is complexed with the lipid portion of the formulation. One of the benefits of the formulations of the present disclosure is that the nucleic acid-lipid compositions are substantially non-toxic to animals such as humans and other mammals.


In the context of nucleic acids, full encapsulation may be determined by performing a membrane-impermeable fluorescent dye exclusion assay, which uses a dye that has enhanced fluorescence when associated with nucleic acid. Encapsulation is determined by adding the dye to a lipid formulation, measuring the resulting fluorescence, and comparing it to the fluorescence observed upon addition of a small amount of nonionic detergent. Detergent-mediated disruption of the lipid layer releases the encapsulated nucleic acid, allowing it to interact with the membrane-impermeable dye. Nucleic acid encapsulation may be calculated as E=(I0−I)/I0, where/and I0 refers to the fluorescence intensities before and after the addition of detergent.

Other suitable cationic lipids are disclosed in International Publication Nos. WO 09/086558, WO 09/127060, WO 10/048536, WO 10/054406, WO 10/088537, WO 10/129709, and WO 2011/153493; U.S. Patent Publication Nos. 2011/0256175, 2012/0128760, and 2012/0027803; U.S. Pat. No. 8,158,601; and Love et al., PNAS, 107(5), 1864-69, 2010, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference.


The RNA-lipid formulations of the present disclosure can comprise a helper lipid, which can be referred to as a neutral helper lipid, non-cationic lipid, non-cationic helper lipid, anionic lipid, anionic helper lipid, or a neutral lipid. It has been found that lipid formulations, particularly cationic liposomes and lipid nanoparticles have increased cellular uptake if helper lipids are present in the formulation. (Curr. Drug Metab. 2014; 15(9):882-92). For example, some studies have indicated that neutral and zwitterionic lipids such as 1,2-dioleoylsn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (DOPC), Di-Oleoyl-Phosphatidyl-Ethanoalamine (DOPE) and 1,2-DiStearoyl-sn-glycero-3-PhosphoCholine (DSPC), being more fusogenic (i.e., facilitating fusion) than cationic lipids, can affect the polymorphic features of lipid-nucleic acid complexes, promoting the transition from a lamellar to a hexagonal phase, and thus inducing fusion and a disruption of the cellular membrane. (Nanomedicine (Lond). 2014 January; 9(1):105-20). In addition, the use of helper lipids can help to reduce any potential detrimental effects from using many prevalent cationic lipids such as toxicity and immunogenicity.


Non-limiting examples of non-cationic lipids suitable for lipid formulations of the present disclosure include phospholipids such as lecithin, phosphatidylethanolamine, lysolecithin, lysophosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylinositol, sphingomyelin, egg sphingomyelin (ESM), cephalin, cardiolipin, phosphatidic acid, cerebrosides, dicetylphosphate, distearoylphosphatidylcholine (DSPC), dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC), dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), dioleoylphosphatidylglycerol (DOPG), dipalmitoylphosphatidylglycerol (DPPG), dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE), palmitoyloleoyl-phosphatidylcholine (POPC), palmitoyloleoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine (POPE), palmitoyloleyol-phosphatidylglycerol (POPG), dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine 4-(N-maleimidomethyl)-cyclohexane-1-carboxylate (DOPE-mal), dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine (DPPE), dimyristoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine (DMPE), distearoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine (DSPE), monomethyl-phosphatidylethanolamine, dimethyl-phosphatidylethanolamine, dielaidoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine (DEPE), stearoyloleoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine (SOPE), lysophosphatidylcholine, dilinoleoylphosphatidylcholine, and mixtures thereof. Other diacylphosphatidylcholine and diacylphosphatidylethanolamine phospholipids can also be used. The acyl groups in these lipids are preferably acyl groups derived from fatty acids having C10-C24 carbon chains, e.g., lauroyl, myristoyl, palmitoyl, stearoyl, or oleoyl.


Additional examples of non-cationic lipids include sterols such as cholesterol and derivatives thereof. As a helper lipid, cholesterol increases the spacing of the charges of the lipid layer interfacing with the nucleic acid making the charge distribution match that of the nucleic acid more closely. (J. R. Soc. Interface. 2012 Mar. 7; 9(68): 548-561). Non-limiting examples of cholesterol derivatives include polar analogues such as 5α-cholestanol, 5α-coprostanol, cholesteryl-(2′-hydroxy)-ethyl ether, cholesteryl-(4′-hydroxy)-butyl ether, and 6-ketocholestanol; non-polar analogues such as 5α-cholestane, cholestenone, 5α-cholestanone, 5α-cholestanone, and cholesteryl decanoate; and mixtures thereof. In some aspects, the cholesterol derivative is a polar analogue such as cholesteryl-(4′-hydroxy)-butyl ether.


In some aspects, the helper lipid present in the lipid formulation comprises or consists of a mixture of one or more phospholipids and cholesterol or a derivative thereof. In other aspects, the neutral lipid present in the lipid formulation comprises or consists of one or more phospholipids, e.g., a cholesterol-free lipid formulation. In yet other aspects, the neutral lipid present in the lipid formulation comprises or consists of cholesterol or a derivative thereof, e.g., a phospholipid-free lipid formulation.


Other examples of helper lipids include nonphosphorous containing lipids such as, e.g., stearylamine, dodecylamine, hexadecylamine, acetyl palmitate, glycerol ricinoleate, hexadecyl stearate, isopropyl myristate, amphoteric acrylic polymers, triethanolamine-lauryl sulfate, alkyl-aryl sulfate polyethyloxylated fatty acid amides, dioctadecyldimethyl ammonium bromide, ceramide, and sphingomyelin.


Other suitable cationic lipids include those having alternative fatty acid groups and other dialkylamino groups, including those, in which the alkyl substituents are different (e.g., N-ethyl-N-methylamino-, and N-propyl-N-ethylamino-). These lipids are part of a subcategory of cationic lipids referred to as amino lipids. In some embodiments of the lipid formulations described herein, the cationic lipid is an amino lipid. In general, amino lipids having less saturated acyl chains are more easily sized, particularly when the complexes must be sized below about 0.3 microns, for purposes of filter sterilization. Amino lipids containing unsaturated fatty acids with carbon chain lengths in the range of C14 to C22 may be used. Other scaffolds can also be used to separate the amino group and the fatty acid or fatty alkyl portion of the amino lipid.


In some embodiments, the lipid formulation comprises the cationic lipid with Formula I according to the patent application PCT/EP2017/064066. In this context, the disclosure of PCT/EP2017/064066 is also incorporated herein by reference.


In some embodiments, amino or cationic lipids of the present disclosure are ionizable and have at least one protonatable or deprotonatable group, such that the lipid is positively charged at a pH at or below physiological pH (e.g., pH 7.4), and neutral at a second pH, preferably at or above physiological pH. Of course, it will be understood that the addition or removal of protons as a function of pH is an equilibrium process, and that the reference to a charged or a neutral lipid refers to the nature of the predominant species and does not require that all of the lipid be present in the charged or neutral form. Lipids that have more than one protonatable or deprotonatable group, or which are zwitterionic, are not excluded from use in the disclosure. In certain embodiments, the protonatable lipids have a pKa of the protonatable group in the range of about 4 to about 11. In some embodiments, the ionizable cationic lipid has a pKa of about 5 to about 7. In some embodiments, the pKa of an ionizable cationic lipid is about 6 to about 7.


In some embodiments, the lipid formulation comprises an ionizable cationic lipid of Formula I:

The cholesterol or cholesterol derivative in the lipid formulation may comprise up to about 40 mol %, about 45 mol %, about 50 mol %, about 55 mol %, or about 60 mol % of the total lipid present in the lipid formulation. In some aspects, the cholesterol or cholesterol derivative comprises about 15 mol % to about 45 mol %, about 20 mol % to about 40 mol %, about 25 mol % to about 35 mol %, or about 28 mol % to about 35 mol %; or about 25 mol %, about 26 mol %, about 27 mol %, about 28 mol %, about 29 mol %, about 30 mol %, about 31 mol %, about 32 mol %, about 33 mol %, about 34 mol %, about 35 mol %, about 36 mol %, or about 37 mol % of the total lipid present in the lipid formulation.


In some aspects, the phospholipid component in the mixture may comprise from about 2 mol % to about 20 mol %, from about 3 mol % to about 18 mol %, from about 4 mol % to about 16 mol %, about 5 mol % to about 14 mol %, from about 6 mol % to about 12 mol %, from about 5 mol % to about 10 mol %, from about 5 mol % to about 9 mol %, or about 2 mol %, about 3 mol %, about 4 mol %, about 5 mol %, about 6 mol %, about 7 mol %, about 8 mol %, about 9 mol %, about 10 mol %, about 11 mol %, or about 12 mol % (or any fraction thereof or the range therein) of the total lipid present in the lipid formulation.


The percentage of helper lipid present in the lipid formulation is a target amount, and the actual amount of helper lipid present in the formulation may vary, for example, by ±5 mol %.


A lipid formulation that includes a cationic lipid compound or ionizable cationic lipid compound may be on a molar basis about 30-70% cationic lipid compound, about 25-40% cholesterol, about 2-15% helper lipid, and about 0.5-5% of a polyethylene glycol (PEG) lipid, wherein the percent is of the total lipid present in the formulation.

Lipid Conjugates


The lipid formulations described herein may further comprise a lipid conjugate. The conjugated lipid is useful in that it prevents the aggregation of particles. Suitable conjugated lipids include, but are not limited to, PEG-lipid conjugates, cationic-polymer-lipid conjugates, and mixtures thereof. Furthermore, lipid delivery vehicles can be used for specific targeting by attaching ligands (e.g., antibodies, peptides, and carbohydrates) to its surface or to the terminal end of the attached PEG chains (Front Pharmacol. 2015 Dec. 1; 6:286).


In some aspects, the lipid conjugate is a PEG-lipid. The inclusion of polyethylene glycol (PEG) in a lipid formulation as a coating or surface ligand, a technique referred to as PEGylation, helps to protect nanoparticles from the immune system and their escape from RES uptake (Nanomedicine (Lond). 2011 June; 6(4):715-28). PEGylation has been used to stabilize lipid formulations and their payloads through physical, chemical, and biological mechanisms. Detergent-like PEG lipids (e.g., PEG-DSPE) can enter the lipid formulation to form a hydrated layer and steric barrier on the surface. Based on the degree of PEGylation, the surface layer can be generally divided into two types, brush-like and mushroom-like layers. For PEG-DSPE-stabilized formulations, PEG will take on the mushroom conformation at a low degree of PEGylation (usually less than 5 mol %) and will shift to brush conformation as the content of PEG-DSPE is increased past a certain level (Journal of Nanomaterials. 2011; 2011:12). PEGylation leads to a significant increase in the circulation half-life of lipid formulations (Annu. Rev. Biomed. Eng. 2011 Aug. 15; 130:507-30; J. Control Release. 2010 Aug. 3; 145(3):178-81).


Examples of PEG-lipids include, but are not limited to, PEG coupled to dialkyloxypropyls (PEG-DAA), PEG coupled to diacylglycerol (PEG-DAG), PEG coupled to phospholipids such as phosphatidylethanolamine (PEG-PE), PEG conjugated to ceramides, PEG conjugated to cholesterol or a derivative thereof, and mixtures thereof.


PEG is a linear, water-soluble polymer of ethylene PEG repeating units with two terminal hydroxyl groups. PEGs are classified by their molecular weights and include the following: monomethoxypolyethylene glycol (MePEG-OH), monomethoxypolyethylene glycol-succinate (MePEG-S), monomethoxypolyethylene glycol-succinimidyl succinate (MePEG-S-NHS), monomethoxypolyethylene glycol-amine (MePEG-NH2), monomethoxypolyethylene glycol-tresylate (MePEG-TRES), monomethoxypolyethylene glycol-imidazolyl-carbonyl (MePEG-IM), as well as such compounds containing a terminal hydroxyl group instead of a terminal methoxy group (e.g., HO-PEG-S, HO-PEG-S-NHS, HO-PEG-NH2).


The PEG moiety of the PEG-lipid conjugates described herein may comprise an average molecular weight ranging from about 550 daltons to about 10,000 daltons. In certain aspects, the PEG moiety has an average molecular weight of from about 750 daltons to about 5,000 daltons (e.g., from about 1,000 daltons to about 5,000 daltons, from about 1,500 daltons to about 3,000 daltons, from about 750 daltons to about 3,000 daltons, from about 750 daltons to about 2,000 daltons). In some aspects, the PEG moiety has an average molecular weight of about 2,000 daltons or about 750 daltons. The average molecular weight may be any value or subvalue within the recited ranges, including endpoints.


In certain aspects, the PEG can be optionally substituted by an alkyl, alkoxy, acyl, or aryl group. The PEG can be conjugated directly to the lipid or may be linked to the lipid via a linker moiety. Any linker moiety suitable for coupling the PEG to a lipid can be used including, e.g., non-ester-containing linker moieties and ester-containing linker moieties. In one aspect, the linker moiety is a non-ester-containing linker moiety. Exemplary non-ester-containing linker moieties include, but are not limited to, amido (—C(O)NH—), amino (—NR—), carbonyl (—C(O)—), carbamate (—NHC(O)O—), urea (—NHC(O)NH—), disulfide (—S—S—), ether (—O—), succinyl (—(O)CCH2CH2C(O)—), succinamidyl (—NHC(O)CH2CH2C(O)NH—), ether, as well as combinations thereof (such as a linker containing both a carbamate linker moiety and an amido linker moiety). In one aspect, a carbamate linker is used to couple the PEG to the lipid.


In some aspects, an ester-containing linker moiety is used to couple the PEG to the lipid. Exemplary ester-containing linker moieties include, e.g., carbonate (—OC(O)O—), succinoyl, phosphate esters (—O—(O)POH—O—), sulfonate esters, and combinations thereof.


Phosphatidylethanolamines having a variety of acyl chain groups of varying chain lengths and degrees of saturation can be conjugated to PEG to form the lipid conjugate. Such phosphatidylethanolamines are commercially available or can be isolated or synthesized using conventional techniques known to those of skill in the art. Phosphatidylethanolamines containing saturated or unsaturated fatty acids with carbon chain lengths in the range of C10 to C20 are preferred. Phosphatidylethanolamines with mono- or di-unsaturated fatty acids and mixtures of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids can also be used. Suitable phosphatidylethanolamines include, but are not limited to, dimyristoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine (DMPE), dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine (DPPE), dioleoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE), and distearoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine (DSPE).


In some aspects, the PEG-DAA conjugate is a PEG-didecyloxypropyl (C10) conjugate, a PEG-dilauryloxypropyl (C12) conjugate, a PEG-dimyristyloxypropyl (C14) conjugate, a PEG-dipalmityloxypropyl (C16) conjugate, or a PEG-distearyloxypropyl (C18) conjugate. In some aspects, the PEG has an average molecular weight of about 750 or about 2,000 daltons. In some aspects, the terminal hydroxyl group of the PEG is substituted with a methyl group.


In addition to the foregoing, other hydrophilic polymers can be used in place of PEG. Examples of suitable polymers that can be used in place of PEG include, but are not limited to, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polymethyloxazoline, polyethyloxazoline, polyhydroxypropyl, methacrylamide, polymethacrylamide, and polydimethylacrylamide, polylactic acid, polyglycolic acid, and derivatized celluloses such as hydroxymethylcellulose or hydroxyethylcellulose.


In some aspects, the lipid conjugate (e.g., PEG-lipid) comprises from about 0.1 mol % to about 2 mol %, from about 0.5 mol % to about 2 mol %, from about 1 mol % to about 2 mol %, from about 0.6 mol % to about 1.9 mol %, from about 0.7 mol % to about 1.8 mol %, from about 0.8 mol % to about 1.7 mol %, from about 0.9 mol % to about 1.6 mol %, from about 0.9 mol % to about 1.8 mol %, from about 1 mol % to about 1.8 mol %, from about 1 mol % to about 1.7 mol %, from about 1.2 mol % to about 1.8 mol %, from about 1.2 mol % to about 1.7 mol %, from about 1.3 mol % to about 1.6 mol %, or from about 1.4 mol % to about 1.6 mol % (or any fraction thereof or range therein) of the total lipid present in the lipid formulation. In other embodiments, the lipid conjugate (e.g., PEG-lipid) comprises about 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1.0%, 1.2%, 1.3%, 1.4%, 1.5%, 1.6%, 1.7%, 1.8%, 1.9%, 2.0%, 2.5%, 3.0%, 3.5%, 4.0%, 4.5%, or 5%, (or any fraction thereof or range therein) of the total lipid present in the lipid formulation. The amount may be any value or subvalue within the recited ranges, including endpoints.


The percentage of lipid conjugate (e.g., PEG-lipid) present in the lipid formulations of the disclosure is a target amount, and the actual amount of lipid conjugate present in the formulation may vary, for example, by ±0.5 mol %. One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that the concentration of the lipid conjugate can be varied depending on the lipid conjugate employed and the rate at which the lipid formulation is to become fusogenic.


Mechanism of Action for Cellular Uptake of Lipid Formulations


In some aspects, lipid formulations for the intracellular delivery of nucleic acids, particularly liposomes, cationic liposomes, and lipid nanoparticles, are designed for cellular uptake by penetrating target cells through exploitation of the target cells' endocytic mechanisms where the contents of the lipid delivery vehicle are delivered to the cytosol of the target cell. (Nucleic Acid Therapeutics, 28(3):146-157, 2018). Prior to endocytosis, functionalized ligands such as PEG-lipid at the surface of the lipid delivery vehicle are shed from the surface, which triggers internalization into the target cell. During endocytosis, some part of the plasma membrane of the cell surrounds the vector and engulfs it into a vesicle that then pinches off from the cell membrane, enters the cytosol and ultimately enters and moves through the endolysosomal pathway. For ionizable cationic lipid-containing delivery vehicles, the increased acidity as the endosome ages results in a vehicle with a strong positive charge on the surface. Interactions between the delivery vehicle and the endosomal membrane then result in a membrane fusion event that leads to cytosolic delivery of the payload. For RNA payloads, the cell's own internal translation processes will then translate the RNA into the encoded protein. The encoded protein can further undergo postranslational processing, including transportation to a targeted organelle or location within the cell or excretion from the cell.


By controlling the composition and concentration of the lipid conjugate, one can control the rate at which the lipid conjugate exchanges out of the lipid formulation and, in turn, the rate at which the lipid formulation becomes fusogenic. In addition, other variables including, e.g., pH, temperature, or ionic strength, can be used to vary and/or control the rate at which the lipid formulation becomes fusogenic. Other methods which can be used to control the rate at which the lipid formulation becomes fusogenic will become apparent to those of skill in the art upon reading this disclosure. Also, by controlling the composition and concentration of the lipid conjugate, one can control the liposomal or lipid particle size.


Lipid Formulation Manufacture


There are many different methods for the preparation of lipid formulations comprising a nucleic acid. (Curr. Drug Metabol. 2014, 15, 882-892; Chem. Phys. Lipids 2014, 177, 8-18; Int. J. Pharm. Stud. Res. 2012, 3, 14-20). The techniques of thin film hydration, double emulsion, reverse phase evaporation, microfluidic preparation, dual assymetric centrifugation, ethanol injection, detergent dialysis, spontaneous vesicle formation by ethanol dilution, and encapsulation in preformed liposomes are briefly described herein.


Thin Film Hydration


In Thin Film Hydration (TFH) or the Bangham method, the lipids are dissolved in an organic solvent, then evaporated through the use of a rotary evaporator leading to a thin lipid layer formation. After the layer hydration by an aqueous buffer solution containing the compound to be loaded, Multilamellar Vesicles (MLVs) are formed, which can be reduced in size to produce Small or Large Unilamellar vesicles (LUV and SUV) by extrusion through membranes or by the sonication of the starting MLV.


Double Emulsion


Lipid formulations can also be prepared through the Double Emulsion technique, which involves lipids dissolution in a water/organic solvent mixture. The organic solution, containing water droplets, is mixed with an excess of aqueous medium, leading to a water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) double emulsion formation. After mechanical vigorous shaking, part of the water droplets collapse, giving Large Unilamellar Vesicles (LUVs).


Reverse Phase Evaporation


The Reverse Phase Evaporation (REV) method also allows one to achieve LUVs loaded with nucleic acid. In this technique a two-phase system is formed by phospholipids dissolution in organic solvents and aqueous buffer. The resulting suspension is then sonicated briefly until the mixture becomes a clear one-phase dispersion. The lipid formulation is achieved after the organic solvent evaporation under reduced pressure. This technique has been used to encapsulate different large and small hydrophilic molecules including nucleic acids.


Microfluidic Preparation


The Microfluidic method, unlike other bulk techniques, gives the possibility of controlling the lipid hydration process. The method can be classified in continuous-flow microfluidic and droplet-based microfluidic, according to the way in which the flow is manipulated. In the microfluidic hydrodynamic focusing (MHF) method, which operates in a continuous flow mode, lipids are dissolved in isopropyl alcohol which is hydrodynamically focused in a microchannel cross junction between two aqueous buffer streams. Vesicles size can be controlled by modulating the flow rates, thus controlling the lipids solution/buffer dilution process. The method can be used for producing oligonucleotide (ON) lipid formulations by using a microfluidic device consisting of three-inlet and one-outlet ports.


Dual Asymmetric Centrifugation


Dual Asymmetric Centrifugation (DAC) differs from more common centrifugation as it uses an additional rotation around its own vertical axis. An efficient homogenization is achieved due to the two overlaying movements generated: the sample is pushed outwards, as in a normal centrifuge, and then it is pushed towards the center of the vial due to the additional rotation. By mixing lipids and an NaCl-solution a viscous vesicular phospholipid gel (VPC) is achieved, which is then diluted to obtain a lipid formulation dispersion. The lipid formulation size can be regulated by optimizing DAC speed, lipid concentration and homogenization time.


Ethanol Injection


The Ethanol Injection (EI) method can be used for nucleic acid encapsulation. This method provides the rapid injection of an ethanolic solution, in which lipids are dissolved, into an aqueous medium containing nucleic acids to be encapsulated, through the use of a needle. Vesicles are spontaneously formed when the phospholipids are dispersed throughout the medium.


Detergent Dialysis


The Detergent dialysis method can be used to encapsulate nucleic acids. Briefly lipid and plasmid are solubilized in a detergent solution of appropriate ionic strength, after removing the detergent by dialysis, a stabilized lipid formulation is formed. Unencapsulated nucleic acid is then removed by ion-exchange chromatography and empty vesicles by sucrose density gradient centrifugation. The technique is highly sensitive to the cationic lipid content and to the salt concentration of the dialysis buffer, and the method is also difficult to scale.


Spontaneous Vesicle Formation by Ethanol Dilution


Stable lipid formulations can also be produced through the Spontaneous Vesicle Formation by Ethanol Dilution method in which a stepwise or dropwise ethanol dilution provides the instantaneous formation of vesicles loaded with nucleic acid by the controlled addition of lipid dissolved in ethanol to a rapidly mixing aqueous buffer containing the nucleic acid.


Encapsulation in Preformed Liposomes


The entrapment of nucleic acids can also be obtained starting with preformed liposomes through two different methods: (1) A simple mixing of cationic liposomes with nucleic acids which gives electrostatic complexes called “lipoplexes”, where they can be successfully used to transfect cell cultures, but are characterized by their low encapsulation efficiency and poor performance in vivo; and (2) a liposomal destabilization, slowly adding absolute ethanol to a suspension of cationic vesicles up to a concentration of 40% v/v followed by the dropwise addition of nucleic acids achieving loaded vesicles; however, the two main steps characterizing the encapsulation process are too sensitive, and the particles have to be downsized.


Excipients


The pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein can be formulated using one or more excipients to: (1) increase stability; (2) increase cell transfection; (3) permit a sustained or delayed release (e.g., from a depot formulation of the polynucleotide, primary construct, or RNA); (4) alter the biodistribution (e.g., target the polynucleotide, primary construct, or RNA to specific tissues or cell types); (5) increase the translation of encoded protein in vivo; and/or (6) alter the release profile of encoded protein in vivo.


The pharmaceutical compositions described herein may be prepared by any method known or hereafter developed in the art of pharmacology. In general, such preparatory methods include the step of associating the active ingredient (i.e., nucleic acid) with an excipient and/or one or more other accessory ingredients. A pharmaceutical composition in accordance with the present disclosure may be prepared, packaged, and/or sold in bulk, as a single unit dose, and/or as a plurality of single unit doses.


Pharmaceutical compositions may additionally comprise a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, which, as used herein, includes, but is not limited to, any and all solvents, dispersion media, diluents, or other liquid vehicles, dispersion or suspension aids, surface active agents, isotonic agents, thickening or emulsifying agents, preservatives, and the like, as suited to the particular dosage form desired.


In addition to traditional excipients such as any and all solvents, dispersion media, diluents, or other liquid vehicles, dispersion or suspension aids, surface active agents, isotonic agents, thickening or emulsifying agents, preservatives, excipients of the present disclosure can include, without limitation, liposomes, lipid nanoparticles, polymers, lipoplexes, core-shell nanoparticles, peptides, proteins, cells transfected with primary DNA construct, or RNA (e.g., for transplantation into a subject), hyaluronidase, nanoparticle mimics and combinations thereof.


Accordingly, the pharmaceutical compositions described herein can include one or more excipients, each in an amount that together increases the stability of the nucleic acid in the lipid formulation, increases cell transfection by the nucleic acid, increases the expression of the encoded protein, and/or alters the release profile of encoded proteins. Further, the RNA of the present disclosure may be formulated using self-assembled nucleic acid nanoparticles.


Various excipients for formulating pharmaceutical compositions and techniques for preparing the composition are known in the art (see Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 21st Edition, A. R. Gennaro, Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, Baltimore, Md., 2006; incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). The use of a conventional excipient medium may be contemplated within the scope of the embodiments of the present disclosure, except insofar as any conventional excipient medium may be incompatible with a substance or its derivatives, such as by producing any undesirable biological effect or otherwise interacting in a deleterious manner with any other component(s) of the pharmaceutical composition.

For solid compositions, conventional nontoxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers can be used which include, for example, pharmaceutical grades of mannitol, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, sodium saccharin, talcum, cellulose, glucose, sucrose, magnesium carbonate, and the like.


In certain embodiments of the disclosure, the RNA-lipid formulation may be administered in a time release formulation, for example in a composition which includes a slow release polymer. The active agent can be prepared with carriers that will protect against rapid release, for example a controlled release vehicle such as a polymer, microencapsulated delivery system, or a bioadhesive gel. Prolonged delivery of the RNA, in various compositions of the disclosure can be brought about by including in the composition agents that delay absorption, for example, aluminum monostearate hydrogels and gelatin.

Formulations containing compositions of the present disclosure complexed with therapeutic molecules or ligands can even be surgically administered, for example in association with a polymer or other structure or substance that can allow the compositions to diffuse from the site of implantation to surrounding cells. Alternatively, they can be applied surgically without the use of polymers or supports.


The self-replicating RNA, formulations thereof, or encoded proteins described herein may be used in combination with one or more other therapeutic, prophylactic, diagnostic, or imaging agents. By “in combination with,” it is not intended to imply that the agents must be administered at the same time and/or formulated for delivery together, although these methods of delivery are within the scope of the present disclosure. Compositions can be administered concurrently with, prior to, or subsequent to, one or more other desired therapeutics or medical procedures. In general, each agent will be administered at a dose and/or on a time schedule determined for that agent. Preferably, the methods of treatment of the present disclosure encompass the delivery of pharmaceutical, prophylactic, diagnostic, or imaging compositions in combination with agents that may improve their bioavailability, reduce and/or modify their metabolism, inhibit their excretion, and/or modify their distribution within the body. As a non-limiting example, a self-replicating RNA of the disclosure may be used in combination with a pharmaceutical agent for immunizing or vaccinating a subject. In general, it is expected that agents utilized in combination with the presently disclosed self-replicating RNA and formulations thereof be utilized at levels that do not exceed the levels at which they are utilized individually. In some embodiments, the levels utilized in combination will be lower than those utilized individually. In one embodiment, the combinations, each or together may be administered according to the split dosing regimens as are known in the art.


Ranges: throughout this disclosure, various aspects can be presented in range format. It should be understood that any description in range format is merely for convenience and brevity and not meant to be limiting. Accordingly, the description of a range should be considered to have specifically disclosed all possible subranges as well as individual numerical values within that range. For example, description of a range such as from 1 to 6 should be considered to have specifically disclosed subranges such as from 1 to 3, from 1 to 4, from 1 to 5, from 2 to 4, from 2 to 6, from 3 to 6, etc., as well as individual numbers within that range, for example 1, 2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.5, 3, 4, 4.75, 4.8, 4.85, 4.95, 5, 5.5, 5.75, 5.9, 5.00, and 6. This applies to a range of any breadth.


Example 1

This example describes characterization of self-replicating (STARR™) technology using firefly luciferase transgene expression. In vitro transcripts were formulated with lipid nanoparticles (LNP) at a concentration of 0.1 mg/ml, and injected intramuscularly in both legs of female BALB/C mice (n=3) at a dose of 5 ug per leg. Expression of firefly luciferase (FLuc) was measured by IVIS Lumina LT Series III (PerkinElmer) by administering 100 ul of 1.5 mg Xenolight D-luciferin (PerkinElmer) in PBS via intraperitoneal injection ˜10 min prior to the measurement. Six data points per group of mice were obtained at each time point (FIGS. 2A-2D).


Firefly luciferase (FLuc) expression was monitored from STARR™ Fluc, SINV FLuc, and mRNA FLuc up to day 28 by In Vivo Imaging System (IVIS). Enhanced levels and durations of transgene expression from STARR™ were observed. The expression from STARR™ Fluc peaked around day 3 to 7 and declined until day 22. Fluc expression from SINV FLuc also peaked on day 10, however, the expression was reduced at a significantly faster rate than STARR™ FLuc. Additionally, the expression on day 3 was significantly lower than STARR™ FLuc. FLuc expression from the conventional mRNA backbone was highest at day 1, the earliest time point in this study, and declined at a slightly faster rate than that of STARR™-Fluc (FIG. 2A). FIG. 2B shows that at 14 days post dosing, FLuc expression from STARR™ FLuc was higher than the other groups by about two orders of magnitude. FIG. 2D shows that the effect of the STARR™ backbone remained minimal throughout the experimental period (up to day 28), while prior administration of SINV replicon backbone resulted in a reduction of FLuc transgene expression by orders of magnitude.


A cancer vaccine substrate, TA STARR™, was constructed next with the STARR™ backbone that encodes AH1A5 epitope from gp70, an envelope glycoprotein of endogenous Murine leukemia virus. AH1 (SPSYVYHQF) (SEQ ID NO:110) is an H-2Ld-restricted antigen of gp70423-431, which is expressed in tumor cells such as the CT26 colorectal cancer cell line, but not expressed in most of the normal tissues. AH1-A5 is a mutated sequence with SPSYAYHQF (SEQ ID NO:111) (the mutation underlined) with enhanced affinity to the T cell receptor (Slansky, et al., 2000, Immunity 13: 529-538). The open reading frame of the TA STARR™ subgenomic RNA contains a cassette with a signal peptide from the HLA class I antigen, gp70 sequence containing AH1A5 epitope, ovalbumin epitope (OVA323-339), and MHC class I trafficking signal (Kreiter, et al. 2008, J Immunol 180: 309-318). Three female BALB/c mice were intramuscularly injected with 10 ug of LNP formulated STARR™ transcripts, STARR™ FLuc or TA STARR™, on day 0 and day 7. On day 16, the spleens were harvested and the splenocytes were isolated. Splenocytes (2.5×105 cells) were incubated with or without AH1A5 (SPSYAYHQF) (SEQ ID NO:111), beta-gal peptide (TPHPARIGL) (SEQ ID NO:112) at 1 ug/ml, and 1× Concanavalin A (Life Technologies). ELISpot detecting murine IFN-gamma (ImmunoSpot) was performed according to the manufacturer's instructions. As can be seen in FIG. 3, TA STARR™ elicited antigen-specific IFN-gamma responses.


BALB/c mice, 10 week-old female, were subcutaneously implanted in the right flank with 5×105 cells of CT26 cells in PBS. A day later, LNP formulated STARR™ RNA was injected intramuscularly in the left leg at a dose of 10 ug in 100 ul. The mice were administered another booster shot on day 8 with the same dose. For a group with combination treatment of anti-mouse PD1 (RMP1-14, BioXCell) and anti-mouse PDL1 (10F.9G2, BioXcell), the combined checkpoint inhibitor (100 ug each) was administered via intraperitoneal injection in the right quadrant twice weekly for two weeks starting on day 3. For a group with the treatment of anti-mouse CTLA4 (9H10, BioxCell), 200 ug of the checkpoint inhibitor was administered in the same manner but starting on day 7. Five mice of the group with the combo treatment of TA STARR™ vaccine and the checkpoint inhibitors remained tumor-free on day 25, and were further challenged by subcutaneous implantation of CT26 (5×105 cells) in the right flank where the implantation site was slightly above the first implantation site. Naïve mice were used as a control group. The tumor growth was monitored for another 17 days (i.e. up to day 42 since the first CT26 implantation) before euthanization. FIGS. 4A-4F illustrate reduced tumor growth resulting from TA STARR™ vaccination and FIG. 5 shows prolonged protection resulting from treatment with the TA STARR™ vaccine in combination with checkpoint inhibitors.


Splenocytes from the combination treatment group with TA STARR™ and anti-PD1/PDL1 were harvested for tetramer staining with AH1 peptide. Splenocytes from the control group with the LNP formulation buffer with the same dosing schedule were used as a negative control. The splenocytes (2×106 cells) were incubated with AH1 (H-2Ld)-tetramer (MBL) followed by appropriate fluorescent-labeled antibodies (Alexa Fluor 488 anti-CD8a (53-6.7), Pacific Orange anti-CD4 (RM4-5), and Pacific Blue anti-mouse CD3E (145-2C11), (eBioscience) and DRAQ7 (Invitrogen) by following the manufacture's recommendation, and 500K events were analyzed by ZE5 Cell Analyzer (Bio-Rad). Results are shown in FIGS. 6A-6C.

Example 2

This example describes analysis of the immunogenicity of influenza hemagglutinin (HA) expressed from self-replicating RNA or mRNA.


Self-replicating RNA and mRNA vaccine constructs were designed to encode the full-length hemagglutinin (HA) protein from influenza virus A/California/07/2009 (H1N1) (SEQ ID NO:113 and 114). The mRNA vaccine construct encoding HA included a tobacco etch virus (TEV) 5′ UTR and a Xenopus beta-globin (Xbg) 3′ UTR. Both self-replicating RNA (SEQ ID NO:56; entire RNA mARM3039) and mRNA vaccine constructs (SEQ ID NO:116; entire RNA sequence mARM3038) were encapsulated in the same lipid nanoparticle (LNP) composition that included four lipid excipients (an ionizable cationic lipid, 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DSPC), cholesterol, and PEG2000-DMG) dispersed in HEPES buffer (pH 8.0) containing sodium chloride and the cryoprotectants sucrose and glycerol. The N:P ratio of complexing lipid and RNA was approximately 9:1. The ionizable cationic lipid had the following structure:




embedded image


Five female, 8-10 week old Balb/c mice were injected intramuscularly with 2 mg of mRNA or self-replicating RNA encoding HA. Mice were bled on days 14, 28, 42, and 56, followed by hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) assay using serially diluted sera. The reciprocal of the highest dilution of serum that caused inhibition of hemagglutination was considered the HAI titer, with a titer of 1/40 being protective against influenza virus infection and four-fold higher titers than baseline indicating seroconversion.


Results in FIG. 7 show that greater HAI titers were obtained with self-replicating RNA encoding HA as compared to mRNA encoding HA. HAI titers for the self-replicating RNA construct encoding HA were greater than HAI titers for the mRNA encoding HA at all time points beginning at day 28. In addition, protective HAI titers were seen for the self-replicating RNA construct encoding HA beginning at day 28 that were maintained for at least 56 days. By contrast, mRNA encoding HA showed protective HAI titers only at day 56 that were lower than HAI titers seen for the self-replicating RNA HA construct. At all other time points, HAI titers for the mRNA construct encoding HA were below the protective titer threshold, with an HAI titer that was comparable to injection with PBS control at day 28.


These results show that the self-replicating RNA construct encoding HA elicited protective HA antibody titers, with greater HAI titers as compared to the mRNA construct encoding HA.


Example 3

This example describes dsRNA production and luciferase expression for self-replicating RNA.


Several self-replicating RNA systems from different alphaviruses were tested for expression in vitro using either green fluorescent protein (GFP) or firefly luciferase (Luc) as reporter genes. Initial transfection of cells with increasing amounts of self-replicating RNA resulted in expression of reporter genes at a lower dose compared to mRNA. However, as the amount of input self-replicating RNA increased, detectable expression of the reporter gene decreased.


Self-replicating RNA produces double stranded RNA (dsRNA) as an intermediate in the amplification process. Overproduction of dsRNA can suppress translation. To evaluate the effect of dsRNA production on transgene expression, dsRNA and the expression of reporter gene luciferase were measured simultaneously. HEK293 cells were transfected with 2 μg of replicon A (SEQ ID NO:115; entire RNA sequence mARM2826) or replicon B (SEQ ID NO:100, entire RNA sequence mARM2809) self-replicating RNA, or mRNA expressing Luc (SEQ ID NO:102, entire mRNA sequence mARM1782) using a commercial RNA transfection reagent. Untransfected cells (UTC) served as a control. dsRNA production (FIG. 8A) was quantified using immunohistochemical staining for dsRNA, followed by fluorescence quantification using a fluorescence scanner 24 hours after transfection. Luciferase expression (FIG. 8B) was assayed by measuring bioluminescence in parallel.


Replicon A produced a 3-fold higher level of dsRNA than replicon B 24 hrs after transfection (FIG. 8A). However, replicon B produced a 2.4-fold higher expression level of luciferase compared to replicon A. Furthermore, the level of luciferase expression from replicon A was equivalent to that observed for mRNA. Thus, even though replicon A had the ability to amplify the amount of replicon RNA and transcribed mRNA encoding luciferase, translation of the amplified mRNA was inhibited, consistent with overproduction of dsRNA inhibiting translation. Furthermore, higher levels of luciferase gene expression were seen for replicon RNA as compared to mRNA at 24, 48, and 72 hours after transfection of HEK293 cells (FIG. 9A). Self-replicating RNA with an expression cassette that included a luciferase reporter gene followed by an IRES and E3L also showed robust luciferase expression (FIGS. 9B, 9C; SEQ ID NOs: 118 and 119). Luciferase expression was also seen for a self-replicating RNA that expressed E3L from a first subgenomic promoter and a luciferase reporter gene from a second subgenomic promoter located 3′ of the E3L open reading frame (not shown). Thus, not only did replicon RNA produce higher levels of luciferase gene expression compared to mRNA, but replicon RNA also showed increased duration of expression over a 72-hr period.
