BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

It has long been difficult to utilize messenger RNA molecules in medicines. Synthetic mRNA can be designed with inherent translational activity for making an active polypeptide or protein, which could be used in various therapeutic strategies. However, the expression of protein involves a number of steps that are localized and/or regulated. Further, plentiful RNase enzymes can degrade mRNA. Moreover, use of a synthetic mRNA requires clinical formulation and delivery to cells. These steps of mRNA delivery, partitioning and dynamics increase the need for potency, stability, and longevity of the synthetic mRNA.


One way to improve the efficacy of mRNA in medicines is to increase the ability of the molecules to be expressed in cells. Control of the characteristics and kinetics of enhanced expression can be used to improve medicinal potency. In addition, structural features of the molecules could be exploited to enhance potency, stability, and longevity of a synthetic mRNA.


For example, increasing the level of a therapeutic moiety in vivo is a significant factor in drug success. Thus, compositions and methods to increase the translation efficiency of an RNA, and specifically increase the amount of a translated polypeptide or protein is a desirable result.


There is an urgent need for methods, molecules, structures and compositions having the ability to be translated to provide active polypeptide and protein therapeutics. Such new molecules having functional cytoplasmic half-life for producing active agents can yield new therapeutic modalities.


What is needed are expressible molecules that have increased expression, stability and/or half-life over a native mRNA, to be used in methods and compositions for producing and delivering an active polypeptide or protein for use in treating or ameliorating a rare disease.

Variation of mRNA Construct Coding Regions


In some aspects, the coding region of an mRNA construct of this invention may contain different codons, or alternative codons, as compared to a native mRNA. The native mRNA may be a human mRNA. An mRNA construct of this invention having such different codons, can encode a protein of interest having the same amino acid sequence as a native protein. The native protein may be a human protein. The native protein may be a human therapeutic protein. In some embodiments, an mRNA construct of this invention may contain different codons such that the expression levels of the protein of interest may be increased, in cells, in tissues, in vivo, or in therapeutic uses, as compared to a native mRNA.


In some embodiments, the coding region of an mRNA construct of this invention, which can be used to express a protein of interest, or a fragment thereof, may contain different codons as compared to a native mRNA which can express the same protein of interest.


Some methods for using different codons or alternative codon are given in Gustafsson et al., Codon bias and heterologous protein expression, 2004, Trends Biotechnol 22: 346-53.


For example, a high codon adaptation index (CAI) is described in Villalobos et al., Gene Designer: a synthetic biology tool for constructing artificial DNA segments, 2006, BMC Bioinformatics 7:285. For a high CAL a most frequently used synonymous codon may be used for an entire protein coding sequence.


In another example, a Low U method targets only U-containing codons that can be replaced with a synonymous codon with fewer U moieties. If there are a few choices for the replacement, the more frequently used codon will be selected. The remaining codons in the sequence are not changed by the LowU method.


Variant Templates for Translatable Molecules


In some embodiments, a variant DNA template may be utilized to make a translatable molecule capable of encoding a polypeptide or protein. A variant DNA template of this disclosure may exhibit advantages in processes for making a translatable molecule, and the efficiency of the translatable molecule. Variation of the template can be utilized to enhance incorporation of modified nucleotides or monomers in a translatable molecule of this invention. In certain aspects, variation of the template can be utilized to enhance the structural features of the translatable molecule. The enhanced structural features of the translatable molecule can provide unexpectedly advantageous properties, including translation efficiency to provide a polypeptide or protein product.


In some aspects of this invention, variation of the template may include reducing the occurrence or frequency of appearance of certain nucleotides in the template strand. Reducing the occurrence of a certain nucleotide can alter the structures and processes of this disclosure to provide non-native forms, which may achieve surprisingly improved properties of a translatable RNA product encoding a polypeptide or protein.


Aspects of this invention may require a variant DNA template in processes for making a translatable molecule. A DNA molecule can have a non-coding template strand of nucleotides that can be transcribed to provide a target translatable molecule.


A target translatable molecule can be any RNA, whether native or modified, synthetic or derived from a natural source.


In some embodiments, a variant DNA template can be used for which an open reading frame of the template strand is transformed to an alternative form, while preserving codon assignment.


In certain embodiments, a DNA template can be used for which alternative nucleotides are used based on alternative codon use and/or sequence degeneracy.


In additional embodiments, a DNA template may have certain nucleotides replaced with alternative nucleotides, while preserving codon assignment.


Embodiments of this invention advantageously utilize alternative codons in a DNA template of this invention to be used in processes for making a translatable molecule. The variations that can be achieved in a DNA template of this invention can be far greater in scope than for cells and organisms, which may require preferred codons in many processes. In this invention, a wide range of alternative codons and positions can be used in a DNA template for transcribing a translatable molecule.


In further aspects of this invention, variation of the 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 nucleotides in the template. In further examples, the occurrence of a nucleotide in a template may be reduced to a level below 20% of nucleotides in the template. In some examples, the occurrence of a nucleotide in a template may be reduced to a level below 16% of nucleotides in the template. In certain examples, the occurrence of a nucleotide in a template may be reduced to a level below 12% of nucleotides in the template.


A variant DNA template of this disclosure may exhibit advantages in processes for making a translatable molecule, and the efficiency of the translatable molecule. Variation of the template can be utilized to enhance incorporation of modified nucleotides or monomers in an RNA product of this invention. In certain aspects, variation of the template can be utilized to enhance the structural features of the translatable molecule. The enhanced structural features of the translatable molecule can provide unexpectedly advantageous properties, including translation efficiency to provide a polypeptide or protein product.


In some aspects of this invention, variation of the template may include reducing the occurrence or frequency of appearance of certain nucleotides in the template strand. Reducing the occurrence of a certain nucleotide can alter the structures and processes of this disclosure to provide forms, which achieve surprisingly improved properties of a translatable RNA product.


Aspects of this invention may require a variant DNA template in processes for making a translatable molecule. A DNA molecule can have a non-coding template strand of nucleotides that can be transcribed to provide a target RNA.


A target RNA can be any RNA, whether native or unknown, synthetic or derived from a natural source. A target RNA can include UNA molecules composed of nucleotides and UNA monomers, and optionally chemically modified nucleotides.


In some embodiments, a variant DNA template can be used for which an open reading frame of the template strand is transformed to an alternative form.


In certain embodiments, a DNA template can be used for which alternative nucleotides are used based on codon degeneracy.


In additional embodiments, a DNA template may have adenosine nucleotides replaced with non-adenosine nucleotides, while preserving codon assignment.


Embodiments of this invention advantageously utilize alternative codons in a DNA template of this invention to be used in processes for making a translatable RNA molecule. The variations that can be achieved in a DNA template of this invention can be far greater in scope than for cells and organisms, which may require preferred codons in many processes. In this invention, a wide range of alternative codons and positions can be used in a DNA template for transcribing an RNA molecule.


Inherent codon redundancy allows up to six different codons for a single amino acid. However, synonymous codons may not have equivalent preference in cells and organisms. Further, codon preference can vary among different genes, and may have functional effects. Codon degeneracy is in general poorly understood, with unpredictable effects on nucleic acid structures and processes. It is not generally known how codon alternatives affect ribosomes, protein folding, translation, and degradation of an RNA.

In this invention, a wide range of alternative codons and positions can be used in a DNA template for transcribing an RNA molecule.


In further aspects of this invention, variation of the template may include reducing the occurrence or frequency of appearance of certain nucleotides in the template strand. For example, the occurrence of deoxyadenosine in a template may be reduced to a level below 25% of nucleotides in the template. In further examples, the occurrence of deoxyadenosine in a template may be reduced to a level below 20% of nucleotides in the template. In some examples, the occurrence of deoxyadenosine in a template may be reduced to a level below 16% of nucleotides in the template. In certain examples, the occurrence of deoxyadenosine in a template may be reduced to a level below 12% of nucleotides in the template.

Codon degeneracy is in general poorly understood, with unpredictable effects on nucleic acid structures and processes. It is not generally known how codon alternatives affect ribosomes, protein folding, translation, and degradation of an RNA.


In some embodiments, the level of T can be reduced in a non-template strand, i.e. a coding strand, by replacing a triplet codon containing more than one T to another synonymous codon containing less T than the original triplet. For example, valine encoded by GTT can be replaced by GTC, GTA, or GTG. Serine encoded by TCT, TCC, TCA, TCG, AGT can be replaced by AGC. Complementary changes would be made in the template strand.


Various additional or synonymous codon replacements can be made as are known in the art.

An RNA molecule of this invention may be used for ameliorating, preventing or treating a disease through protein or enzyme modulation or replacement. An RNA molecule of this invention can be administered to regulate, modulate, increase, or decrease the concentration or effectiveness of a natural enzyme in a subject.


In some aspects, the protein can be an unmodified, natural enzyme for which the subject has an abnormal quantity.


In further embodiments, an RNA molecule can be delivered to cells or subjects, and translated to supply increased levels of a natural polypeptide or protein.


An RNA molecule of this invention may be used for ameliorating, preventing or treating a disease through modulation or introduction of a polypeptide or protein. In such embodiments, a translatable molecule of this invention can be administered to regulate, modulate, increase, or decrease the concentration or effectiveness of a peptide or protein in a subject, where the peptide or protein is non-natural or mutated, as compared to a native peptide or protein.


A polypeptide or protein delivered by an RNA molecule of this disclosure can be a modified, non-natural, exogenous, or synthetic polypeptide or protein, which has a pharmacological effect in a subject.


In some embodiments, an RNA molecule can be delivered to cells or subjects, and translated to supply a secretion or concentration of a peptide or protein.

In some embodiments, a translatable polynucleotide may contain a 5′ UTR that is at least about 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 300, 400, or 500 nucleotides in length. A 5′ UTR may contain about 50 to 300 nucleotides, or about 75 to 250 nucleotides, or about 100 to 200 nucleotides, or about 120 to 150 nucleotides, or about 135 nucleotides.


In additional aspects, the translatable oligomeric molecule comprises an internal ribosome entry site (IRES). As is understood in the art, an IRES is an RNA element that allows for translation initiation in an end-independent manner. In exemplary embodiments, the IRES is in the 5′ UTR. In other embodiments, the IRES may be outside the 5′ UTR.


In some embodiments, a translatable polynucleotide may contain a 3′ UTR that is at least about 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 160, 175, 200, 300, 400, or 500 nucleotides in length. In some embodiments, a 3′ UTR contains about 50 to 300 nucleotides, or about 75 to 250 nucleotides, or about 100 to 200 nucleotides, or about 140 to 175 nucleotides, or about 160 nucleotides.


In additional embodiments, a 3′ UTR may contain one or more UNA monomers. A 3′ UTR may contain 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 16, 20, or more UNA monomers.


A translatable polynucleotide of this invention may comprise one or more 5′ untranslated regions of Table 3, derived from Arabidopsis thaliana.


As used herein, the term “5′ UTR derived from a gene expressed by Arabidopsis thaliana” is used to describe 5′ UTRs derived from genes in Arabidopsis thaliana identified in the art. Arabidopsis thaliana genes known in the art can be found in The Arabidopsis Information Resource (TAIR). In certain embodiments of the invention, the 5′ UTRs derived from genes expressed by Arabidopsis thaliana include those appearing in Table 3.

The Xenopus beta-globin gene sequence is shown in accession no. NM_001096347.1.


Some examples of UTR sequences are found in U.S. Pat. No. 9,149,506.


In some embodiments, a 5′ UTR can be derived from a histone, tubulin, globin, GAPDH, actin, or a citric acid cycle enzyme mRNA molecule.


In further embodiments, a 5′ UTR may be derived from human IL-6, alanine aminotransferase 1, human apolipoprotein E, human fibrinogen alpha chain, human transthyretin, human haptoglobin, human alpha-1-antichymotrypsin, human antithrombin, human alpha-1-antitrypsin, human albumin, human beta globin, human complement C3, human complement C5, SynK, AT1G58420, mouse beta globin, mouse albumin, a tobacco etch virus, or fragments of any of the foregoing.


In other embodiments, a 5′ UTR sequence may include a partial sequence of a CMV immediate-early 1 (IE1) gene.


In certain embodiments, a 3′ UTR may be derived from alanine aminotransferase 1, human apolipoprotein E, human fibrinogen alpha chain, human haptoglobin, human antithrombin, human alpha globin, human beta globin, human complement C3, human growth factor, human hepcidin, MALAT-1, mouse beta globin, mouse albumin, and xenopus beta globin, or fragments of any of the foregoing.


Triple Stop Codon

In some embodiments, a translatable oligomer may comprise a sequence immediately downstream of the CDS that creates a triple stop codon. The triple stop codon may be incorporated to enhance the efficiency of translation. In some embodiments, the transatable oligomer may comprise the sequence AUAAGUGAA (SEQ ID NO:119) immediately downstream of a CDS described herein.


Translation Initiation Sites

In some embodiments, a translatable oligomer may comprise a translation initiation site, for example, a Kozak sequence. 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; and the references cited therein.


In some embodiments, the translation initiation site, e.g., a Kozak sequence, is inserted upstream of a coding sequence. In some embodiments, the translation initiation site is inserted downstream of a 5′ UTR. In certain exemplary embodiments, the translation initiation site is inserted upstream of the coding sequence and downstream of a 5′ UTR.


In some embodiments, a Kozak Sequence is GCCACC (SEQ ID NO:120).


In further embodiments, a Kozak Sequence is GCCGCCACC (SEQ ID NO:121).


Synthesis Methods

In various aspects, this invention provides methods for synthesis of translatable messenger molecules.


Translatable molecules of this invention can be synthesized and isolated using methods disclosed herein, as well as any pertinent techniques known in the art.


Some methods for preparing nucleic acids are given in, for example, Merino, Chemical Synthesis of Nucleoside Analogues, (2013); Gait, Oligonucleotide synthesis: a practical approach (1984); Herdewijn, Oligonucleotide Synthesis, Methods in Molecular Biology, Vol. 288 (2005).


In some embodiments, a translatable molecule can be made by in vitro transcription (IVT) reaction. A mix of nucleoside triphosphates (NTP) can be polymerized using T7 reagents, for example, to yield RNA from a DNA template. The DNA template can be degraded with RNase-free DNase, and the RNA column-separated.


In some embodiments, a ligase can be used to link a synthetic oligomer to the 3′ end of an RNA molecule or an RNA transcript to form a translatable molecule. The synthetic oligomer that is ligated to the 3′ end can provide the functionality of a polyA tail, and advantageously provide resistance to its removal by 3′-exoribonucleases. The ligated product translatable molecule can have increased specific activity and provide increased levels of ectopic protein expression.


In certain embodiments, the ligated product of the translatable molecules of this invention can be made with an RNA transcript that has native specificity. The ligated product can be a synthetic molecule that retains the structure of the RNA transcript at the 5′ end to ensure compatibility with the native specificity.


In further embodiments, the ligated product of the translatable molecules of this invention can be made with an exogenous RNA transcript or non-natural RNA. The ligated product can be a synthetic molecule that retains the structure of the RNA.


Without wishing to be bound by theory, the canonical mRNA degradation pathway in cells includes the steps: (i) the polyA tail is gradually cut back to a stub by 3′ exonucleases, shutting down the looping interaction required for efficient translation and leaving the cap open to attack; (ii) decapping complexes remove the 5′ cap; (iii) the unprotected and translationally incompetent residuum of the transcript is degraded by 5′ and 3′ exonuclease activity.


Embodiments of this invention involve new translatable structures which can have increased translational activity over a native transcript. Among other things, translatable molecules herein may prevent exonucleases from trimming back the polyA tail in the process of de-adenylation.


Embodiments of this invention provide structures, compositions and methods for translatable molecules. Embodiments of this invention can provide translatable molecules containing one or more UNA monomers and having increased functional half-life.


It has been found that ligation of a synthetic oligomer to the 3′ end of an mRNA transcript can surprisingly be accomplished with high conversion of the mRNA transcript to the ligation product.


As used herein, the terms polyA tail and polyA oligomer refer to an oligomer of monomers, wherein the monomers can include nucleotides based on adenine, UNA monomers, naturally-occurring nucleotides, modified nucleotides, or nucleotide analogues.


Oligomers for ligation to the 3′ end of an RNA may be from 2 to 120 monomers in length, or from 3 to 120 monomers in length, or from 4 to 120 monomers in length, or from 5 to 120 monomers in length, or longer. In an exemplary embodiment, the oligomer for ligation is about 30 monomers in length.

Pharmaceutical Compositions

In some aspects, this invention provides pharmaceutical compositions containing a translatable compound and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.


A pharmaceutical composition can be capable of local or systemic administration. In some aspects, a pharmaceutical composition can be capable of any modality of administration. In certain aspects, the administration can be by any route, including intravenous, subcutaneous, pulmonary, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, dermal, oral, inhalation or nasal administration.


Embodiments of this invention include pharmaceutical compositions containing a translatable compound in a lipid formulation.


In some embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition may comprise one or more lipids selected from cationic lipids, ionizable lipids, anionic lipids, sterols, pegylated lipids, and any combination of the foregoing. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition containing a translatable compound comprises a cationic lipid, a phospholipid, cholesterol, and a pegylated lipid.


In certain embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition can be substantially free of liposomes.


In further embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition can include nanoparticles.


Lipid-based formulations have been increasingly recognized as one of the most promising delivery systems for RNA due to their biocompatibility and their ease of large-scale production. Cationic lipids have been widely studied as synthetic materials for delivery of RNA. After mixing together, nucleic acids are condensed by cationic lipids to form lipid/nucleic acid complexes known as lipoplexes. These lipid complexes are able to protect genetic material from the action of nucleases and to deliver it into cells by interacting with the negatively charged cell membrane. Lipoplexes can be prepared by directly mixing positively charged lipids at physiological pH with negatively charged nucleic acids.


Conventional liposomes consist of a lipid bilayer that can be composed of cationic, anionic, or neutral (phospho)lipids and cholesterol, which encloses an aqueous core. Both the lipid bilayer and the aqueous space can incorporate hydrophobic or hydrophilic compounds, respectively. Liposome characteristics and behaviour in vivo can be modified by addition of a hydrophilic polymer coating, e.g. polyethylene glycol (PEG), to the liposome surface to confer steric stabilization. Furthermore, liposomes 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).


Liposomes are colloidal lipid-based and surfactant-based delivery systems composed of a phospholipid bilayer surrounding an aqueous compartment. They may present as spherical vesicles and can range in size from 20 nm to a few microns. Cationic lipid-based liposomes are able to complex with 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. Liposomes can fuse with the plasma membrane for uptake; once inside the cell, the liposomes are processed via the endocytic pathway and the genetic material is then released from the endosome/carrier into the cytoplasm. 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).


Cationic liposomes have been traditionally the most commonly used non-viral delivery systems for oligonucleotides, including plasmid DNA, antisense oligos, and siRNA/small hairpin R A-shRNA). Cationic lipids, such as DOTAP, (1,2-dioleoyl-3-trimethylammonium-propane) and DOTMA (N-[1-(2,3-dioleoyloxy)propyl]-N,N,N-trimethyl-ammonium methyl sulfate) can form complexes or lipoplexes with negatively charged nucleic acids to form nanoparticles by electrostatic interaction, providing high in vitro transfection efficiency. Furthermore, neutral lipid-based nanoliposomes for RNA delivery as e.g. neutral 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (DOPC)-based nanoliposomes were developed. (Adv Drug Deliv Rev. 2014 February; 66: 110-116.).


According to some embodiments, the expressible polynucleotides and heterologous mRNA constructs described herein are lipid formulated. The lipid formulation is preferably selected from, but not limited to, liposomes, lipoplexes, copolymers, such as PLGA, and lipid nanoparticles.


In one preferred embodiment, a lipid nanoparticle (LNP) comprises:


(a) a nucleic acid,


(b) a cationic or ionizable lipid,


(c) an aggregation reducing agent (such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) lipid or PEG-modified lipid),


(d) optionally a non-cationic lipid (such as a neutral lipid), and


(e) optionally, a sterol.


In one embodiment, the lipid nanoparticle formulation consists of (i) at least one cationic lipid; (ii) a neutral lipid; (iii) a sterol, e.g., cholesterol; and (iv) a PEG-lipid, in a molar ratio of about 20-60% cationic lipid: 5-25% neutral lipid: 25-55% sterol; 0.5-15% PEG-lipid.


All acid and base salts of the compounds described herein are intended to be included within the scope of this invention. A compound may exist in an unsolvated or solvated form, including hydrated forms. In general, the solvated forms, with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as water, ethanol, and the like, are equivalent to the unsolvated forms for the purposes of this disclosure. Compounds, salts, and solvates thereof, may exist in a tautomeric form, for example, as an amide or imino ether. All tautomeric forms are included in this invention.


The cationic lipid compounds described herein may be combined with a translatable compound of the invention to form microparticles, nanoparticles, liposomes, or micelles. The translatable compound of the invention to be delivered by the particles, liposomes, or micelles may be in the form of a gas, liquid, or solid. The cationic lipid compound and the translatable compound may be combined with other cationic lipid compounds, polymers (synthetic or natural), surfactants, cholesterol, carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, etc. to form the particles. These particles may then optionally be combined with a pharmaceutical excipient to form a pharmaceutical composition.


A composition containing a cationic lipid compound may be 30-70% cationic lipid compound, 0-60% cholesterol, 0-30% phospholipid and 1-10% polyethylene glycol (PEG). Preferably, the composition is 30-40% cationic lipid compound, 40-50% cholesterol, and 10-20% PEG. In other preferred embodiments, the composition is 50-75% cationic lipid compound, 20-40% cholesterol, and 5 to 10% phospholipid, and 1-10% PEG. The composition may contain 60-70% cationic lipid compound, 25-35% cholesterol, and 5-10% PEG. The composition may contain up to 90% cationic lipid compound and 2 to 15% helper lipid. The formulation may be a lipid particle formulation, for example containing 8-30% compound, 5-30% helper lipid, and 0-20% cholesterol; 4-25% cationic lipid, 4-25% helper lipid, 2 to 25% cholesterol, 10 to 35% cholesterol-PEG, and 5% cholesterol-amine; or 2-30% cationic lipid, 2-30% helper lipid, 1 to 15% cholesterol, 2 to 35% cholesterol-PEG, and 1-20% cholesterol-amine; or up to 90% cationic lipid and 2-10% helper lipids, or even 100% cationic lipid.


In some embodiments, the one or more cholesterol-based lipids are selected from cholesterol, PEGylated cholesterol and DC-Chol (N,N-dimethyl-N-ethylcarboxamidocholesterol), and 1,4-bis(3-N-oleylamino-propyl)piperazine. In an exemplary embodiment, the cholesterol-based lipid is cholesterol.


In some embodiments, the one or more pegylated lipids, i.e., PEG-modified lipids. In some embodiments, the one or more PEG-modified lipids comprise a poly(ethylene) glycol chain of up to 5 kDa in length covalently attached to a lipid with alkyl chain(s) of C6-C20 length. In some embodiments, a PEG-modified lipid is a derivatized ceramide such as N-Octanoyl-Sphingosine-1-[Succinyl(Methoxy Polyethylene Glycol)-2000]. In some embodiments, a PEG-modified or PEGylated lipid is PEGylated cholesterol or Dimyristoylglycerol (DMG)-PEG-2K. In an exemplary embodiment, the PEG-modified lipid is PEGylated cholesterol.


In additional embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition can contain an oligomeric compound within a viral or bacterial vector.


A pharmaceutical composition of this disclosure may include carriers, diluents or excipients as are known in the art. Examples of pharmaceutical compositions and methods are described, for example, in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Co. (A.R. Gennaro ed. 1985), and Remington, The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 21st Edition (2005).


Examples of excipients for a pharmaceutical composition include antioxidants, suspending agents, dispersing agents, preservatives, buffering agents, tonicity agents, and surfactants.


An effective dose of an agent or pharmaceutical formulation of this invention can be an amount that is sufficient to cause translation of a translatable molecule in a cell.


A therapeutically effective dose can be an amount of an agent or formulation that is sufficient to cause a therapeutic effect. A therapeutically effective dose can be administered in one or more separate administrations, and by different routes. As will be appreciated in the art, a therapeutically effective dose or a therapeutically effective amount is largely determined based on the total amount of the therapeutic agent contained in the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention. Generally, a therapeutically effective amount is sufficient to achieve a meaningful benefit to the subject (e.g., treating, modulating, curing, preventing and/or ameliorating a disease, indication or symptom). For example, a therapeutically effective amount may be an amount sufficient to achieve a desired therapeutic and/or prophylactic effect. Generally, the amount of a therapeutic agent (e.g., a translatable oligomer) administered to a subject in need thereof will depend upon the characteristics of the subject. Such characteristics include the condition, disease severity, general health, age, sex and body weight of the subject. One of ordinary skill in the art will be readily able to determine appropriate dosages depending on these and other related factors. In addition, both objective and subjective assays may optionally be employed to identify optimal dosage ranges.


A therapeutically effective dose of an active agent, e.g., a translatable oligomer, in vivo can be a dose of about 0.001 to about 500 mg/kg body weight. For instance, the therapeutically effective dose may be about 0.001-0.01 mg/kg body weight, or 0.01-0.1 mg/kg, or 0.1-1 mg/kg, or 1-10 mg/kg, or 10-100 mg/kg. In some embodiments, a translatable oligomer can be provided at a dose ranging from about 0.1 to about 10 mg/kg body weight, e.g., from about 0.5 to about 5 mg/kg, from about 1 to about 4.5 mg/kg, or from about 2 to about 4 mg/kg.


A therapeutically effective dose of an active agent, e.g., a translatable oligomer, in vivo can be a dose of at least about 0.001 mg/kg body weight, or at least about 0.01 mg/kg, or at least about 0.1 mg/kg, or at least about 1 mg/kg, or at least about 2 mg/kg, or at least about 3 mg/kg, or at least about 4 mg/kg, or at least about 5 mg/kg, at least about 10 mg/kg, at least about 20 mg/kg, at least about 50 mg/kg, or more. In some embodiments, a translatable oligomer can be provided at a dose of about 0.1 mg/kg, about 0.5 mg/kg, about 1 mg/kg, about 1.5 mg/kg, about 2 mg/kg, about 2.5 mg/kg, about 3 mg/kg, about 3.5 mg/kg, about 4 mg/kg, about 5 mg/kg, or about 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, 75, or 100 mg/kg.


Nucleobase sequences shown herein are from left to right, 5′ to 3′, unless stated otherwise.

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 a further preferred embodiment, the LNP comprises the cationic lipid with formula (III) according to the patent application PCT/EP2017/064066. In this context, the disclosure of PCT/EP2017/064066 is also incorporated herein by reference.


In certain embodiments, amino or cationic lipids of the invention 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. It will, of course, 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 invention. In certain embodiments, the protonatable lipids have a pKa of the protonatable group in the range of about 4 to about 11, e.g., a pKa of about 5 to about 7.


The cationic lipid can comprise from about 20 mol % to about 70 or 75 mol % or from about 45 to about 65 mol % or about 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, or about 70 mol % of the total lipid present in the particle. In another embodiment, the lipid nanoparticles include from about 25% to about 75% on a molar basis of cationic lipid, e.g., from about 20 to about 70%, from about 35 to about 65%, from about 45 to about 65%, about 60%, about 57.5%, about 57.1%, about 50% or about 40% on a molar basis (based upon 100% total moles of lipid in the lipid nanoparticle). In one embodiment, the ratio of cationic lipid to nucleic acid is from about 3 to about 15, such as from about 5 to about 13 or from about 7 to about 11.


Non-Cationic Lipids

The non-cationic lipid can be a neutral lipid, an anionic lipid, or an amphipathic lipid. Neutral lipids, when present, can be any of a number of lipid species which exist either in an uncharged or neutral zwitterionic form at physiological pH. Such lipids include, for example, diacylphosphatidylcholine, diacylphosphatidylethanolamine, ceramide, sphingomyelin, dihydrosphingomyelin, cephalin, and cerebrosides. The selection of neutral lipids for use in the particles described herein is generally guided by consideration of, e.g., lipid particle size and stability of the lipid particle in the bloodstream. Preferably, the neutral lipid is a lipid having two acyl groups (e.g. diacylphosphatidylcholine and diacylphosphatidylethanolamine). In one embodiment, the neutral lipids contain saturated fatty acids with carbon chain lengths in the range of CIO to C20. In another embodiment, neutral lipids with mono or diunsaturated fatty acids with carbon chain lengths in the range of CIO to C2o are used. Additionally, neutral lipids having mixtures of saturated and unsaturated fatty acid chains can be used.


Suitable neutral lipids include, but are not limited to, distearoylphosphatidylcholine (DSPC), dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC), dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), dioleoylphosphatidylglycerol (DOPG), dipalmitoylphosphatidylglycerol (DPPG), dioleoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE), palmitoyloleoylphosphatidylcholine (POPC), palmitoyloleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (POPE), dioleoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine 4-(N-maleimidomethyl)-cyclohexane-1-carboxylate (DOPE-mal), dipalmitoyl phosphatidyl ethanolamine (DPPE), dimyristoylphosphoethanolamine (DMPE), dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine (D PC), distearoyl-phosphatidyl-ethanolamine (DSPE), SM, 16-O-monomethyl PE, 16-O-dimethyl PE, 18-1-trans PE, 1-stearoyl-2-oleoyl-phosphatidyethanolamine (SOPE), cholesterol, or a mixture thereof. Anionic lipids suitable for use in lipid particles of the invention include, but are not limited to, phosphatidyl lycerol, cardiolipin, diacylphosphatidylserine, diacylphosphatidic acid, N-dodecanoyl phosphatidylethanoloamine, N-succinyl phosphatidylethanolamine, N-glutaryl phosphatidylethanolamine, lysylphosphatidylglycerol, and other anionic modifying groups joined to neutral lipids.


The non-cationic lipid can be from about 5 mol % to about 90 mol %, about 5 mol % to about 10 mol %, about 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, or about 90 mol % of the total lipid present in the particle. In one embodiment, the lipid nanoparticles include from about 0% to about 15 or 45% on a molar basis of neutral lipid, e.g., from about 3 to about 12% or from about 5 to about 10%. For instance, the lipid nanoparticles may include about 15%, about 10%, about 7.5%, or about 7.1% of neutral lipid on a molar basis (based upon 100% total moles of lipid in the lipid nanoparticle).


Sterols

A preferred sterol is cholesterol. The sterol can be about 10 mol % to about 60 mol % or about 25 mol % to about 40 mol % of the lipid particle. In one embodiment, the sterol is about 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, or about 60 mol % of the total lipid present in the lipid particle. In another embodiment, the lipid nanoparticles include from about 5% to about 50% on a molar basis of the sterol, e.g., about 15% to about 45%, about 20% to about 40%, about 48%, about 40%, about 38.5%, about 35%, about 34.4%, about 31.5% or about 31% on a molar basis (based upon 100% total moles of lipid in the lipid nanoparticle).


Aggregation Reducing Agent

The aggregation reducing agent can be a lipid capable of reducing aggregation. Examples of such lipids include, but are not limited to, polyethylene glycol (PEG)-modified lipids, monosialoganglioside Gml, and polyamide oligomers (PAO) such as those described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,320,017, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. Other compounds with uncharged, hydrophiiic, steric-barrier moieties, which prevent aggregation during formulation, like PEG, Gml or ATTA, can also be coupled to lipids. ATTA-lipids are described, e.g., in U.S. Pat. No. 6,320,017, and PEG-lipid conjugates are described, e.g., in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,820,873, 5,534,499 and 5,885,613, each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.


The aggregation reducing agent may be, for example, a polyethyleneglycol (PEG)-lipid including, without limitation, a PEG-diacylglycerol (DAG), a PEG-dialkylglycerol, a PEG-dialkyloxypropyl (DAA), a PEG-phospholipid, a PEG-ceramide (Cer), or a mixture thereof (such as PEG-Cer14 or PEG-Cer20). The PEG-DAA conjugate may be, for example, a PEG-dilauryloxypropyl (C12), a PEG-dimyristyloxypropyl (C14), a PEG-dipalmityloxypropyl (C16), or a PEG-distearyloxypropyl (C18). Other pegylated-lipids include, but are not limited to, polyethylene glycol-didimyristoyl glycerol (C14-PEG or PEG-C14, where PEG has an average molecular weight of 2000 Da) (PEG-DMG); (R)-2,3-bis(octadecyloxy)propyl-1-(methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)2000)propylcarbamate) (PEG-DSG); PEG-carbamoyl-1,2-dimyristyloxypropylamine, in which PEG has an average molecular weight of 2000 Da (PEG-cDMA); N-Acetylgalactosamine-((R)-2,3-bis(octadecyloxy)propyl-1-(methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)2000)propylcarbamate)) (GalNAc-PEG-DSG); mPEG (mw2000)-diastearoylphosphatidyl-ethanolamine (PEG-DSPE); and polyethylene glycol-dipalmitoylglycerol (PEG-DPG). In one embodiment, the aggregation reducing agent is PEG-DMG. In another embodiment, the aggregation reducing agent is PEG-c-DMA.


The average molecular weight of the PEG moiety in the PEG-modified lipids can range from about 500 to about 8,000 Daltons (e.g., from about 1,000 to about 4,000 Daltons). In one preferred embodiment, the average molecular weight of the PEG moiety is about 2,000 Daltons.


The concentration of the aggregation reducing agent may range from about 0.1 to about 15 mol %, based upon the 100% total moles of lipid in the lipid particle. In one embodiment, the formulation includes less than about 3, 2, or 1 mole percent of PEG or PEG-modified lipid, based upon the total moles of lipid in the lipid particle. In another embodiment, the lipid nanoparticles include from about 0.1% to about 20% on a molar basis of the PEG-modified lipid, e.g., about 0.5 to about 10%, about 0.5 to about 5%, about 10%, about 5%, about 3.5%, about 1.5%, about 0.5%, or about 0.3% on a molar basis (based on 100% total moles of lipids in the lipid nanoparticle).


Lipid Nanoparticles (LNPs)

Preferably, lipid nanoparticles may have the structure of a liposome. A liposome is typically a structure having lipid-containing membranes enclosing an aqueous interior. Liposomes preferably have one or more lipid membranes. In preferred embodiments, liposomes can be single-layered, referred to as unilamellar, or multi-layered, referred to as multilamellar. When complexed with nucleic acids (e.g. RNA), lipid particles may also be lipoplexes, which are preferably composed of cationic lipid bilayers sandwiched between nucleic acid layers. Liposomes can further be of different sizes such as, but not limited to, a multilamellar vesicle (MLV) which may be hundreds of nanometers in diameter and may contain a series of concentric bilayers separated by narrow aqueous compartments, a small unicellular vesicle (SUV) which may be smaller than 50 nm in diameter, and a large unilamellar vesicle (LUV) which may be between 50 and 500 nm in diameter. In certain embodiments, liposome design may include, but is not limited to, opsonins or ligands in order to improve the attachment of liposomes to unhealthy tissue or to activate events such as, but not limited to, endocytosis. Liposomes may contain a low (e.g. an acidic) or a high (e.g. a basic) pH in order to improve the delivery of the pharmaceutical formulations.


As a non-limiting example, liposomes such as synthetic membrane vesicles may be prepared by the methods, apparatus and devices described in US Patent Publication No. US20130177638, US20130177637, US20130177636, US20130177635, US20130177634, US20130177633, US20130183375, US20130183373 and US20130183372, the contents of each of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety. In preferred embodiments, the nucleic acid (e.g. an RNA as described herein) may be encapsulated by the liposome, and/or it may be contained in an aqueous core, which may then be encapsulated by the liposome (see International Pub. Nos. WO2012031046, WO2012031043, WO2012030901 and WO2012006378 and US Patent Publication No. US20130189351, US20130195969 and US20130202684; the contents of each of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety).


Transfections

In some experiments, translatable messenger molecules were transfected into Hepal-6 or AML12 cells in 96 well plates. The MESSENGERMAX transfection reagent (Life Technologies) was used by manufacture instruction for all transfections. Other suitable cell lines include HEK293 and Hep3B cells.


An example transfection protocol in vitro was as follows:


Plate hepatocyte Hepal-6 cells 5000 cells per well in 96 well plate at least 8 hours before transfection.


Replace 90 μL DMEM medium containing 10% FBS and Non-essential amino acid) adding 90 μL into each well of 96 well plate immediately before beginning the transfection experiment.


Prepare Messenger Max transfection reagent (Life Technologies) translatable molecule complex according to manufacturer's instruction.


Transfer 10 μL of the complex into a well containing the cells in the 96-well plate.


Collect the medium after desired time points and add 100 μL fresh medium into each well. Medium will be kept at −80° C. until an ELISA assay is performed using the standard manufacturer protocol.


An example of a transfection protocol in vivo was as follows:


The translatable molecule is formulated with nanoparticles.


Inject the nanoparticle-formulated translatable molecule (1 mg/kg) into BL57BL/c mice (4-6 week-old) via standard i.v. injection in the lateral tail vein.


Collect approximately 50 μL of blood in a Heparin-coated microcentrifuge tube at a suitable time post-injection.


Centrifuge at 3,000×g for 10 minutes at 4° C.


Transfer the supernatant (plasma) into a fresh microcentrifuge tube. Plasma will be kept at −80° C. until an ELISA assay is performed using the standard manufacturer protocol.


Nanoparticle Formulations

Lipid nanoparticles can be prepared containing an mRNA, using appropriate volumes of lipids in an ethanol/aqueous buffer containing the mRNA. A Nanossemblr microfluidic device can be used for this purpose, followed by downstream processing. For example, to prepare nanoparticles, a desired amount of targeted mRNA can be dissolved into 5 mM Citric Acid buffer (pH 3.5). The lipids can be dissolved at the adequate molar ratio, in ethanol. The molar percentage ratio for the constituent lipids can be, for example, 50% ionizable lipid, 7% DSPC (1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine; Avanti Polar Lipids), 40% cholesterol (Avanti Polar Lipids), and 3% DMG-PEG (1,2-Dimyristoyl-sn-glycerol, methoxypolyethylene glycol, PEG chain molecular weight: 2000; NOF America Corporation). Next, the lipid and mRNA solutions can be combined in the microfluidic device (Precision NanoSystems) at a flow ratio of 1:3 (ethanol:aqueous phase). The total combined flow rate can be 12 mL/min. Lipid nanoparticles can be formed and subsequently purified by overnight dialysis using a phosphate buffer in a dialysis device (Float-a-lyzer, Spectrum Labs), followed by concentration using Amicon Ultra-15 centrifugal filters (Merck Millipore). The particle size can be determined by dynamic light scattering (ZEN3600, Malvern Instruments). An “encapsulation” efficiency can be calculated by determining the un-encapsulated mRNA content measured by the fluorescence upon the addition of RiboGreen (Molecular Probes) to the LNP slurry (Fi); then, the value was compared to the total mRNA content that is obtained upon lysis of the LNPs by 1% Triton X-100 (Ft), where percentage of “encapsulation” =(Ft−Fi)/Ft×100. Encapsulation can refer to inclusion of the mRNA in the nanoparticle, regardless of form.


In-Cell Western

96-well collagen plates were used to seed the cells at the appropriate density in DMEM/FBS culture media. At the optimal confluence, cells were transfected with the targeted mRNAs diluted in the transfection reagent mix (MessengerMax and Opti-MEM). Cells were placed in the CO2 incubator and let them grow. At the desire timepoint, media was removed and cells were fixed in 4% fresh PFA for 20 min. After that, fixative was removed and cells were permeabilized in TBST for 5 minutes several times. When permeabilization washes are complete, cells were incubated with the blocking buffer for 45 min. Primary antibody was then added and incubated for 1 h at room temperature. Following that, cells were washed several times in TBST, and then incubated for 1 h with the secondary antibody diluted in blocking buffer and containing the CellTag 700 stain. To finalize, cells were washed several times in TBST followed by a last wash in TBS. Then, plate was imaged using the Licor detection system and data was normalized to the total number of cells labeled by the CellTag 700.


Generating Tail PCR Products

Plasmid DNA (10 ng) containing each mRNA expression construct can be used to generate the poly A tail 120 PCR products in a 50 μl PCR reaction with 2× KAPA HiFi PCR mix (KR0370) as per the manufacturer's instructions. The product can be then checked on a 2% gel from Life Technologies and approximately quantified based on the intensity of the low molecular weight ladder (Life Technologies, 10068-013), and cleaned with the Qiagen PCR purification kit and resuspended in 50 ul water.


In some embodiments, a linearlized plasmid is used to generate a polyA tail. The plasmid can be linearized using a restriction enzyme before in vitro transcription is performed.


In Vitro Transcription (IVT) for Synthesis

The following protocol is for a 200 μl IVT reaction using NEB HiScribe T7 RNA polymerase reagents, which should yield about 1 mg of RNA. 2.5× NTP mix was prepared as required by thawing individual 100 mM NTP stocks (ATP, GTP, CTP, and UTP nucleotides, or chemically modified counterparts) and pooling them together. For the IVT reaction, about 2-4 of the template was used for a 200 μl reaction. The 10× IVT reaction buffer, the 2.5× dNTP mix, the template DNA and the T7 RNA polymerase are mixed well by pipetting and incubated at 37° C. for 4 hours. To degrade the DNA template, the IVT reaction is diluted with 700 ul of nuclease-free water and then 10× DNase I buffer and 20 ul of the RNase-free DNase I are added to the IVT mix and incubated at 37° C. for 15 minutes. The diluted (to 1 ml) and DNase treated reaction is then purified by a Qiagen RNeasy Maxi columns as per the manufacturer's instructions with a final elution in RNase-free water. The purified RNA is then quantified by UV absorbance where the A260/A280 should be about 1.8-2.2, depending on the resuspension buffer used.


Enzymatic Capping of IVT RNA

For enzymatic capping, a 50× scaled-up version of NEB's one-step capping and 2′O-methylation reaction can be used, that is suitable for treating up to 1 mg of IVT transcripts. A 10 μg RNA in a 20 μl reaction is recommended, based on the assumption that transcript length would be as short as 100 nt. However, a higher substrate-to-reaction volume is acceptable for transcripts, which can be generally longer (about 300-600 nt) in length. Before initiating the capping reaction, the RNA is denatured at 65° C. for 5 minutes and then snap chilled to relieve any secondary conformations. For the total 1 ml capping reaction, 1 mg denatured RNA in 700 μl of nuclease-free water is used along with 100 μl (10×) capping buffer, 50 μl (10 mM) GTP, 50 μl (4 mM) SAM, 50 μl of (10 U/μl). Vaccinia capping enzyme and 50 μl of mRNA cap 2′-O-methyltransferase at (50 U/μl) are combined and incubated at 37° C. for 1 hour. The resulting capped mRNA is eluted using RNASE free water, re-purified on an RNeasy column, quantified by nanodrop. The mRNA is also visualized on the gel by running 500 ng of the purified product per lane in a denaturing gel after denaturation and snap-chill to remove secondary structures.


In some embodiments, RNA capping can be performed by co-transcriptional capping during IVT.
