Description

Nucleic acid vaccine and nucleic acid immune adjuvant co-carried composite lipid nano preparation and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of biological medicine, in particular to a nucleic acid vaccine and nucleic acid immune adjuvant co-carried composite lipid nano preparation, a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
For the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2), vaccination remains the most effective method of preventing and controlling its pandemic. The vaccine types commonly used clinically at present mainly comprise: inactivated viral vaccines, subunit vaccines including proteins and polypeptides, viral vector vaccines, and nucleic acid vaccines including DNA and mRNA.
Inactivated viral vaccines use either dead or inactivated viruses to elicit an immune response in the body and do not regain pathogenicity in the body and cause disease. However, due to stringent culture conditions of the virus, inactivated viral vaccines may require relatively long production times and extensive safety testing. Subunit vaccines have the advantage of carrying Receptor Binding Domains (RBDs) of different variants, realizing the immune protection of multiple variants, and have higher safety and expandability, but have relatively lower immunogenicity and higher production cost. In viral vector vaccines, another relatively safe virus is used as a vector, and the target viral antigen coding gene is delivered into a human body to trigger an immune response without causing diseases, but the immune response of the human body to the viral vector may negatively affect the effectiveness of the vaccine, and the pathogenicity (such as genome insertion) of the viral vector itself may cause a safety problem.
The nucleic acid vaccine is a plasmid DNA or mRNA vector containing a gene sequence for encoding antigen protein, expresses the antigen protein through host cells after immunization and induces a host to generate immune response to the antigen protein, and has unique advantages in the aspects of high-level immune response induction, rapid development and preparation and the like: (1) Inducing a broad immune response without any risk associated with viral replication/infection; (2) Similar to viral infection, cellular and humoral immunity can be stimulated; (3) The production can be developed rapidly when new viruses or virus variants appear, or vectors encoding different antigens can be constructed in a single vaccine; (4) low cost, easy mass production, etc. Due to the advantages of the nucleic acid vaccine, the nucleic acid vaccine becomes a novel vaccine with great development potential after the inactivation/attenuation live vaccine, subunit vaccine and viral vector vaccine, and the effect of the nucleic acid vaccine on infectious disease prevention and control is fully verified.
The nucleic acid vaccine needs to enter cells after immunization to generate antigen proteins, the proteins are released and taken up by Antigen Presenting Cells (APCs) comprising Dendritic Cells (DCs) and the like, and the antigen proteins are presented to CD8+ T cells and CD4+ T cells through MHCI molecules and MHCII molecules, so that initial T cells are activated, proliferated and differentiated into effector T cells, and a specific immunoprotection effect is finally generated. However, since nucleic acid vaccine is a long-chain macromolecule with high-density negative charge, good water solubility and easy degradation, and is difficult to penetrate through cell membrane into cells, the nucleic acid vaccine needs to be combined with corresponding technologies such as virus or non-virus vectors or physical methods including electropore and the like in the immunization process, so that the cell entering capability of the nucleic acid vaccine is improved to generate high-level antigen molecules, and effective immune response is induced. Compared with the virus vector, the non-virus nano-vector has the advantages of lower immunogenicity and pathogenicity, no restriction of gene size and the like. In particular, lipid nanoparticles and the like with good biocompatibility and high delivery efficiency have unique advantages in the immunization of nucleic acid vaccines, and are the most widely used gene delivery vectors at present. In addition to the high level of antigen expression and immune induction achieved by improving the ability of nucleic acid vaccines to enter cells, the use of nucleic acid immune adjuvants with immunomodulating effects, including CpG oligonucleotides and poly (I: C) double-stranded RNA, during immunization can recruit and stimulate proliferation and differentiation of related immune cells (such as DC cells, NK cells, T cells, etc.), enhance antigen presentation and immune induction effects, and achieve more efficient immunoprotection or therapeutic effects.

The cationic lipid DOTAP, the ionizable cationic lipid DLin-MC3-DMA (hereinafter abbreviated as MC 3), cholesterol (Chol), distearoyl phosphatidylcholine (DSPC) and mPEG-dimyristoylglycerol (DMG-PEG 2000) were weighed and dissolved in chloroform to prepare a lipid stock solution, which was stored at-20 ℃.
Preparation of cationic lipid DOTAP-based nucleic acid vaccine cationic lipid composite nanoparticles (ps@dlnp): nucleic acid vaccine pS was diluted to 0.04mg/mL with deionized water, and simultaneously a lipid stock solution of DOTAP, chol, DSPC and DMG-PEG2k (molar ratio 50:38.5:10:1.5) was taken separately, chloroform was removed by rotary evaporation under vacuum, and dissolved in absolute ethanol. Fixing ethanol: the volume ratio of the aqueous solution is 1:3, according to the ratio of cationic lipid to N/P of pS plasmid of 3,5,10,20 and 30 respectively, the lipid ethanol solution is added into the aqueous solution of pS plasmid for mixing, vortex oscillating for 15s, standing for 30min at room temperature, placing the obtained solution into a dialysis bag with the molecular weight cut-off of 10kDa, dialyzing overnight in deionized water at 4 ℃ to obtain pS@DLNP based on DOTAP cationic lipid.
Preparation of ionizable cationic lipid MC 3-based nucleic acid vaccine ionizable cationic lipid composite nanoparticles (ps@mlnp): nucleic acid vaccine pS was dissolved in 20mM citric acid buffer (pH 4.0) while an absolute ethanol solution in which MC3, chol, DSPC, DMG-PEG2k (50:38.5:10:1.5) was dissolved was added to the pS aqueous solution in a ratio of ethanol to aqueous phase of 1:3, the N/P ratio of ionizable cationic lipid to pS plasmid was 3,5,10,20 and 30, respectively, mixed with shaking for 15s, left at room temperature for 30min, dialyzed overnight in deionized water at 4℃to remove ethanol and citric acid, allowing the formulation environment to become neutral, yielding pS@MLNP based on ionizable cationic lipid MC 3.
Particle size characterization: the prepared pS@DLNP and pS@MLNP solutions are placed in a sample cell, a laser particle size analyzer (Zetasizer ZS 90) is used for setting the detection temperature to 25 ℃, the scattering angle is 90 DEG, the incident wavelength of He-Ne is 632nm, the refractive index is 1.33, and the particle size and the distribution of the prepared nucleic acid vaccine (ionizable) cationic lipid composite nano-carrier are determined.

Gel electrophoresis verification of nucleic acid vaccine loading: 0.3g agarose was taken into a conical flask, 30mL 1 XTAE buffer was added and heated in a microwave oven until the agarose dissolved. When the solution cooled to 50-60 ℃,3 μl GelRed (10000×) dye was added and mixed well. Pouring the agarose solution into a gel preparation tank with a comb inserted for cooling and solidification, carefully pulling out the comb, putting the prepared agarose gel into an electrophoresis tank, and pouring 1 xTAE buffer until the upper surface of the gel is over. mu.L of pS@DLNP or pS@MLNP sample (containing 200ng pS) was added to each gel well, and the control group was a composite nanocarrier sample treated with 1% Triton X-100 (carrier structure was destroyed, pS was released). Electrophoresis was performed for 30min at 120V. After electrophoresis, the gel is observed by a gel imaging system.
Particle size, potential and gel electrophoresis characterization results of pS@DLNP and pS@MLNP are shown in FIG. 2. The particle size of pS@DLNP prepared according to the ratio (N/P) of cationic lipid to pS nitrogen-phosphorus of 3,5,10,20 and 30 is between 95 and 140nm, and is reduced along with the increase of N/P; the potential is between +10mV and +30mV, and the potential is gradually increased; the electrophoresis result shows that the sample which is not treated by 1% Triton membrane rupture has no free DNA band within the range of N/P ratio of 3-30, and obvious plasmid DNA band exists after membrane rupture, which proves that the prepared pS@DLNP lipid nanoparticle can efficiently and stably encapsulate the nucleic acid vaccine. The particle size of pS@MLNP prepared based on the ionizable cationic lipid MC3 is about 150-250nm, the surface potential is electronegative, the nucleic acid vaccine can be well loaded when N/P is more than 3, and the complete loading of the nucleic acid vaccine can be realized when N/P is more than 10.
Example 3 preparation and characterization of cationic lipid-based nucleic acid vaccine and nucleic acid immunoadjuvant ordered co-supported composite lipid nanocarriers
Preparation of cationic lipid-based nucleic acid vaccine and nucleic acid immunoadjuvant ordered co-supported composite lipid nanocarriers (pIC & ps@dlnp): because the surface of the prepared pS@DLNP nano-particle is high in electropositivity, the nano-particle and the nucleic acid immunoadjuvant can be directly incubated to realize electrostatic-effect-based loading, and the nucleic acid vaccine and the nucleic acid immunoadjuvant orderly co-loaded composite lipid nano-carrier is prepared. The specific operation steps are as follows: dissolving a nucleic acid immune adjuvant Poly (I: C) in pure water, rapidly mixing the solution with the prepared pS@DLNPs solution according to a certain ratio of Poly (I: C)/pS (0.02:1, 0.1:1,0.2:1,1:1 and 2:1), and carrying out shaking incubation for 2 hours at 26 ℃ to prepare the nucleic acid vaccine and nucleic acid immune adjuvant orderly co-carried composite lipid nano carrier pIC & pS@DLNP.
Particle size characterization: 400 mu L of the pIC & pS@DLNP solution prepared above is placed in a sample cell, a laser particle size analyzer (Zetasizer ZS 90) is used for setting the detection temperature to 25 ℃, the scattering angle is 90 DEG, the incident light wavelength of He-Ne is 632nm, the refractive index is 1.33, and the particle size and distribution of the prepared composite lipid nano carrier are determined.
Surface potential characterization: 100. Mu.L of the prepared pIC & pS@DLNP sample was taken, and 950. Mu.L of 0.1XPBS solution (pH 7.4) was added for dissolution, and after mixing, the mixture was added to a potential cell by a 1mL syringe, and the surface potential was measured by a laser particle size analyzer (Zetasizer ZS 90) at a detection temperature of 25 ℃.
Gel electrophoresis verification of pS@DLNP vs. nucleic acid immunoadjuvant loading: 0.3g agarose was taken into a conical flask, 30mL 1 XTAE buffer was added and heated in a microwave oven until the agarose dissolved. When the solution cooled to 50-60 ℃,3 μl GelRed (10000×) dye was added and mixed well. Pouring the agarose solution into a gel preparation tank with a comb inserted for cooling and solidification, carefully pulling out the comb, putting the prepared agarose gel into an electrophoresis tank, and pouring 1 xTAE buffer until the upper surface of the gel is over. mu.L of pIC & pS@DLNP prepared from different Poly (I: C)/pS ratios were added to gel wells and electrophoresed for 30min at 120V voltage. After electrophoresis, the gel is observed by a gel imaging system.
The particle size, potential and gel electrophoresis detection results are shown in FIG. 3. For the PEG-containing pS@DLNP, after the PEG-containing pS@DLNP is incubated with poly (I: C), the particle size of the nano particles is not obviously changed, but the surface potential of the obtained composite lipid nano particles is obviously reduced along with the increase of the binding amount of poly (I: C); gel electrophoresis showed that Poly (I: C) was able to be fully bound by pS@DLNP when Poly (I: C)/pS.ltoreq.1. And for pS@DLNP without PEG modification, after incubation with high concentration of Poly (I: C) (i.e., poly (I: C)/pS > 1), the particle size of the obtained composite lipid nanoparticle increases, the potential rises, which may be caused by that pS@DLNP is not wrapped by a PEG hydrophilic layer, and when the Poly (I: C) is excessive, the nanoparticle aggregates and the structure changes; however, gel electrophoresis results prove that the pS@DLNP without PEG modification can load the nucleic acid immune adjuvant Poly (I: C) well.
Example 4 preparation and characterization of ordered loaded composite lipid nanocarriers (pIC & pS@MLNP/D) based on nucleic acid vaccines and nucleic acid immunoadjuvants with inner core of ionizable cationic lipids and surface of cationic lipids
Since the surface of ps@mlnp prepared from example 2 and based on ionizable cationic lipid MC3 is electronegative and cannot be loaded with the same negatively charged nucleic acid immunoadjuvant, we obtained ps@mlnp/D with surface electropositive properties by introducing positively charged cationic lipid DOTAP onto its surface and continued to be used to load nucleic acid immunoadjuvant, the preparation method is as follows: DOTAP/MC3 (molar ratio) 0.1:1,0.2:1,0.5:1 and 1:1, was added to pS@MLNP in a ratio of water to absolute ethanol volume ratio of 3:1 and dialyzed overnight to obtain pS@MLNP with cationic lipids inserted after the surface (pS@MLNP/D). Meanwhile, pS@MLNP with different PEG2000 modification degrees (0.2%, 0.5%,1% and 1.5%) is prepared, and the influence of different PEG contents on the Poly (I: C) load and the physicochemical properties of the preparation is examined according to the molar ratio of DOTAP to MC3 being 1:1.
Preparation of ordered co-carried composite lipid nano-carrier based on nucleic acid vaccine with inner core of nucleic acid vaccine/ionizable cationic lipid and nucleic acid immunoadjuvant/cationic lipid on surface: dissolving a nucleic acid immune adjuvant Poly (I: C) in pure water, rapidly mixing with the prepared pS@DLNP/D solution, and carrying out shaking incubation for 2 hours at 26 ℃ to prepare the nucleic acid vaccine and nucleic acid immune adjuvant orderly co-carried composite lipid nano carrier pIC & pS@MLNP/D.
Particle size and surface potential characterization: the particle size and surface potential of the prepared pS@MLNP/D and pIC & pS@MLNP/D were characterized as described above.
Gel electrophoresis verification of the co-load of nucleic acid vaccine and nucleic acid immunoadjuvant: the nucleic acid immunoadjuvant and nucleic acid vaccine loading of pIC & pS@MLNP/D was verified as described previously.
The results of the relevant characterization are shown in FIG. 4, the post-insertion modification of pS@MLNP by different amounts of cationic lipid DOTAP does not change the particle size, the surface potential rises with the increase of the DOTAP addition amount, and when DOTAP/MC3 is 1, the surface potential reaches +8.1mV, which indicates that the cationic lipid can be inserted into the pS@MLNP lipid membrane and realize the surface electropositivity of the cationic lipid. And the characterization result of post-insertion modification (the molar ratio of DOTAP to MC3 is 1:1) of the cationic lipid on pS@MLNP with different PEG modification degrees (0.2%, 0.5%,1% and 1.5%) shows that pS@MLNP can be prepared when the content of PEG is reduced to 0.2%, and the change amplitude of the surface potential after DOTAP is inserted is larger, so that the cationic lipid can be more easily inserted into the surface of pS@MLNP by reducing the PEG to obtain pS@MLNP/D. And pS@MLNP/D was loaded with Poly (I: C) at a ratio of 1:1 with pS (I: C), the nanoparticle size became larger and the surface potential slightly decreased, indicating that Poly (I: C) was bound to the surface of pS@MLNP/D, resulting in pIC & pS@MLNP/D with ordered co-loading of nucleic acid vaccine and nucleic acid immunoadjuvant. The gel electrophoresis result of pIC & pS@MLNP/D treated by 1% Triton-X100 shows obvious electrophoresis bands of the nucleic acid vaccine and the nucleic acid immunoadjuvant, and the results show that the nucleic acid vaccine with the inner core of the nucleic acid vaccine/ionizable cationic lipid and the nucleic acid vaccine with the surface of the nucleic acid immunoadjuvant/cationic lipid and the nucleic acid immunoadjuvant orderly co-carried composite lipid nano carrier (pIC & pS@MLNP/D) are successfully prepared.
Example 5 release verification of nucleic acid vaccine and nucleic acid immunoadjuvant on ordered Co-supported composite lipid nanocarriers
The pIC & pS@DLNP prepared was treated with 5 XPBS and 1% Triton-X100, respectively, followed by agarose gel electrophoresis and imaging according to the aforementioned electrophoresis protocol, and analyzed for dissociation of the nucleic acid immunoadjuvant from the complex lipid nanocarriers.
The result of electrophoresis is shown in FIG. 5. The treatment of 5 XPBS can destroy the electrostatic effect between the nucleic acid immunoadjuvant and pS@DLNP, so that the nucleic acid immunoadjuvant is released from the composite lipid nano-carrier, and the immunostimulation effect is further exerted; the treatment does not lead to release of the nucleic acid vaccine pS, which means that the structure of pS@DLNP is not affected, and that the vector can be ensured to be electropositive after release of the nucleic acid immunoadjuvant and effectively deliver the nucleic acid vaccine into cells for expression.
EXAMPLE 6 immune activation of macrophages by nucleic acid vaccine and nucleic acid immunoadjuvant ordered co-carried composite lipid nanoformulations
Inoculating RAW264.7 cells in logarithmic growth phase into 12-well plate, 3×10 5 cells per well, and 1mL of complete culture medium; the cells were incubated overnight at 37℃in a 5% CO 2 cell incubator. pIC & pS@DLNP (with and without PEG modification) and pIC & pS@MLNP/D were added to the cell culture broth at a pS concentration of 5. Mu.g/mL, while a blank group, a naked pS group and a naked pIC group were set as controls. After incubation at 37℃for 24h, the culture broth was centrifuged at 2000rpm for 3min to remove cell debris, diluted to appropriate concentrations and the supernatant was assayed for the levels of cytokines IL-6 and TNF- α by ELISA. Collecting cells, adding 200 μl of cell lysate, standing on ice for 10min, repeatedly blowing with a pipette, extracting cell lysate, centrifuging at 3000rpm for 10min, diluting with PBS for 10 times, detecting protein content in lysate with BCA protein content kit, and calculating average release amount of cytokines. Average release of cytokines = (total cytokine content of cell culture supernatant x fold of dilution)/(total protein in cell lysate x fold of dilution).
As shown in FIG. 6, the detection results of cytokines show that the naked nucleic acid vaccine has no immune stimulation basically, and the free poly (I: C) and pIC & pS@DLNP and pIC & pS@MLNP/D containing poly (I: C) both significantly stimulate macrophages to generate high levels of TNF-alpha and IL-6, which indicates that the nucleic acid vaccine and the nucleic acid immune adjuvant ordered co-carried composite lipid nano preparation have activation effect on immune related cells such as macrophages.
Example 7 cell transfection and antigen expression detection of nucleic acid vaccine and nucleic acid immunoadjuvant ordered Co-carried composite lipid nanoformulations
Human alveolar basal epithelial cells A549 cells of lung cancer in logarithmic growth phase are inoculated into 12-well plates, 1X 10 5 cells per well and 1mL of complete culture medium; the cells were incubated overnight at 37℃in a 5% CO 2 cell incubator. Different experimental groups were set up, including untreated cell group, naked pS group, pIC & pS@DLNP (no PEG modification) group, pIC & pS@MLNP/D group. The above formulation was diluted with serum-free cell culture medium and added to the cells such that the final concentration of pS per well was 5. Mu.g/mL. After 6h incubation at 37℃under 5% CO 2, 1mL of complete medium was added to each well. After 48 hours of further culture, the culture broth was removed, 200. Mu.L of cell lysate was added to each well to treat the cells, and the cells were centrifuged at 5000rpm for 10 minutes to remove cell debris. Total protein concentration was detected using BCA assay kit and S protein expression levels were detected using ELISA. Antigen expression amount = concentration of S protein in cell lysate/total protein in cell lysate x fold dilution.
The detection results are shown in fig. 7, compared with the blank control group (treated by simple cell culture solution) and the naked pS group, the cells treated by pIC & ps@dlnp and pIC & ps@mlnp/D have obvious S protein expression, which indicates that the prepared nucleic acid vaccine and nucleic acid immunoadjuvant orderly co-loaded composite lipid nano preparation can effectively deliver the nucleic acid vaccine into the cells and express antigen proteins.
