TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of genetic engineering, in particular to a siRNA of an angiopoietin like 3 (ANGPTL3) and a use thereof.


BACKGROUND

Hyperlipidemia, also known as dyslipidemia, is a systemic disease with abnormal fat metabolism or operation, which makes plasma lipids higher than a normal value. The clinical manifestations of the dyslipidemia mainly include two aspects: (1) xanthoma caused by lipid deposition in dermis; and (2) atherosclerosis caused by the lipid deposition in vascular endothelium, generating a coronary heart disease and a peripheral vascular disease and the like.


The hyperlipidemia is not uncommon in China. According to the survey, about 10% to 20% of adults have the elevated blood total cholesterol (TC) or triglycerides (TG), and even nearly 10% of children have the elevated blood lipids. The increase of the serum cholesterol level of crowd may lead to an increase of about 9.2 million cardiovascular events in China between 2010 and 2030, and this is closely related to the significant improvement of living standards of Chinese people, changes in eating habits and other reasons. Existing drugs for the dyslipidemia mainly include statins, cholesterol absorption inhibitors, resins, probucol, fibrates, niacin and derivatives thereof.


At present, there may be some contraindications and side effects more or less after the use of therapeutic drugs. For example, the statins are the first choice of commonly used drugs to reduce serum total cholesterol. They are used to treat patients with a simple increase of the serum total cholesterol level, but also for those with a main increase of the serum total cholesterol level accompanied by a slight increase of the serum triacylglycerol level. Such drugs mainly include lovastatin (mevacor), simvastatin (zocor), pravastatin (pravachol), fluvastatin (lescol), atorvastatin (lipitor) and cerivastatin (baycol) and the like. If the drugs are taken for a long time, it may cause abdominal distension, diarrhea, constipation, headache, insomnia, rash, and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (seen in the face, chest, and extremities with diffuse ecchymosis, and accompanied by the decreased platelet count). In addition, there are also mental depression, and paresthesia which often occurs on the face, scalp, tongue and limbs, and is characterized by numbness sensation, burning sensation, skin allergy or pain. It may also cause peeling and elevation of a serum transaminase. The most serious adverse reaction is rhabdomyolysis, which is characterized by myasthenia, myalgia, anuria, and elevated serum creatine kinase level and the like, and the incidence rate is about 1% c. If it is not found in time and the drug is not stopped, serious myopathy may occur, and even renal failure may be caused.


Therefore, it is urgent to develop a drug that may be taken for a long time and has the small side effects to treat the dyslipidemia.


SUMMARY

The present disclosure aims to solve at least one of technical problems in a related technology to a certain extent. For this reason, a purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a siRNA for inhibiting expression of ANGPTL3. The inventor of the present disclosure targets to ANGPTL3 by designing an appropriate specific small interfering RNA sequence and a siRNA conjugate, and reduce the expression of an ANGPTL3 protein by degrading a transcript of an ANGPTL3 gene in a cell. Therefore, the siRNA provided in the present disclosure may be used to prevent and/or treat a dyslipidemia disease.


For this reason, on the one hand, the present disclosure provides a siRNA. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the siRNA includes a sense chain and an antisense chain, and the antisense chain includes a complementary region complementary-paired to the sense chain, herein the sense chain is selected from a nucleotide sequence that is not more than 5 nucleotides different from a nucleotide sequence of each chain in SEQ ID NO: 1˜SEQ ID NO: 154, and the antisense chain is selected from a nucleotide sequence that is not more than 5 nucleotides different from a nucleotide sequence of each chain in SEQ ID NO: 155˜SEQ ID NO: 308.


The angiopoietin like protein 3 (ANGPTL3, NM_014495.4) is a secreted protein mainly expressed in a liver cell. It is indicated from existing researches that ANGPTL3 is a key regulatory factor of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and triglyceride metabolism, and has a variety of potential action nodes. The loss of function mutation of ANGPTL3 may lead to the reduction of LDL-C, very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), HDL-C and triglyceride (TG), thus the risk of cardiovascular diseases based on genome wide association study (GWAS) is reduced, and there are no known adverse phenotypes of genetic defects. Therefore, the inhibition of the activity of ANGPTL3 may effectively prevent or treat the dyslipidemia. The inventor of the present disclosure specifically reduces the synthesis of ANGPTL3 by the liver cell by designing the appropriate small interfering RNA (siRNA) sequence, while the off-target effect is avoided. siRNA, by forming a RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), is complementary-paired with a mRNA sequence of a target gene (ANGPTL3 gene) to degrade mRNA of the target gene so as to inhibit the expression of the target gene, and then reduce the levels of LDL-C, VLDL-C, HDL-C and TG.

On the day of a transfection experiment, the cells are digested with 0.25% Trysin (Gibco, US), counted and inoculated on a 24-well plate in the density of 450 μL/well and 50000 cells/well. Subsequently, a test sample is added in a lipofectmine2000 (Thermo Fisher) transfection mode. It is transfected according to a standard flow of RNAiMAX reagent instructions, and the final siRNA concentration is 10 nM/1 nM/0.5 nM/0.25 nM/0.1 nM/0.05 nM/0.01 nM. In a transfection group, siNC is taken as a negative control, and its sequence is as follows.

Antisense chain (antisense):

After 24 h, the total RNA of the cells is extracted, and the expression conditions of the ANGPTL3 mRNA sequence in the cells are detected by the quantitative real-time PCR, herein PCR primers used to amplify internal reference genes PPIB and ANGPTL3 are shown in Table 1.


The activity test results (EC50 value) of each conjugate are shown in FIG. 4.


The EC50 value is calculated by using non-linear regression of graphpad prism, to express the amount of the conjugate used to inhibit a half of the expression quantity of the target mRNA (ANGPTL3).


It may be seen from the results that the selected conjugates show good results in reducing the relative expression level of ANGPTL3 in an experiment of the in vitro activity test.


Embodiment 5: Construction of AAV-hANGPTL3 Mouse Model and Drug Administration Test

Basic information of experimental animals: see Table 3.


The experimental animals are purchased from Jinan Pengyue Experimental Animal Breeding Co., Ltd., which are specific pathogen free (SPF) animals. Before drug administration, the above mice are weighed and statuses are observed, and the animals with uniform weight and no abnormal status are selected for subsequent experiments.

Feeding conditions: non-SPF feeding conditions. Under normal feeding conditions, the animals may eat and drink freely. After the animals are purchased, the experiment is started after 3-7 days of adaptive culture.


Modeling and administration: each mouse is injected with 2.5*10{circumflex over ( )}11 titers of virus solution (100 ul) by a tail vein. After 7 days, the experimental animals are randomly grouped, and each test substance is administered subcutaneously at a dose of 5 mg/kg. In 72 hours after the drug administration, the animals are sacrificed by cervical dislocation, and liver tissues are taken for RNA extraction and quantification.


Results of each conjugate are shown in Table 4.
