Description

Amino lipid and application thereof

Technical Field

The invention belongs to the technical field of medicinal chemistry, and particularly relates to amino lipid and application thereof.

Background

The gene medicine is to introduce exogenous normal gene into target cell to correct or compensate diseases caused by gene defect and abnormality so as to achieve the aim of treatment; or the gene is expressed to generate corresponding antigen, thereby inducing memory immune response. During the past two decades, gene medicine has been developed in many disease treatment fields from the clinical point of view, and has no alternative advantages for diseases caused by gene abnormality and difficult to solve so far in the medical field, such as tumor and the like. Common genetic drugs are plasmid DNA (pDNA), antisense oligonucleic acid (antisense ODN), small interfering rna (sirna), and messenger rna (mrna).

However, when a foreign gene is introduced into the body, it is degraded by nuclease in the body and is degraded into small-molecule nucleotides before entering target cells, thereby losing therapeutic effects. Therefore, the key to achieving gene therapy is an efficient, safe gene delivery system. Gene vectors undergo a number of complex processes in the delivery of genes: the gene substance is released by the carrier through blood circulation to reach target cells, cellular uptake, escape of endosomes, intracellular movement. The major obstacles are mainly extracellular obstacles to the complex blood environment and intracellular obstacles to lysosomal enzyme degradation. Therefore, the search for a good gene vector to enable the target gene to reach the target point and exert the utility is a problem to be solved urgently by gene vector researchers.

Currently, there are two main categories of gene delivery vector systems: one is a viral vector system and the other is a non-viral vector system. The virus vector is a natural vector resource, the virus genome has simple structure, high transfection efficiency and strong target cell specificity, but the use of the virus vector is limited by the defects of poor targeting property, low carrying capacity, immunogenicity and the like. Thus, diverse, non-immunogenic and easily controlled production non-viral vector systems have attracted attention in recent years and find application in many therapeutic areas. The non-viral vector systems commonly used are mainly cationic lipid (cationic lipids) vectors.

Cationic lipids have three important structural regions, a positively charged hydrophilic polar head gene, a linker chain in the middle responsible for linking the two ends, polar and non-polar, and a hydrophobic lipid chain. The polar head containing amine group plays a role in combining liposome and RNA, and the liposome/RNA complex and cell membrane mutually, influences the charging condition of lipid and plays a main role in the escape process of lysosome. The linker chain determines the chemical and biological stability of the cationic liposome, particularly the cytotoxicity resulting therefrom. The hydrophobic region may be in the form of a carbon chain or a variety of structures such as steroids, and the length, saturation and specific type of the carbon chain will influence the lipid behavior, which will both provide sufficient mobility to the lipid bilayer and promote lipid fusion of the cationic liposome in vivo.

The cationic liposome and the negatively charged group form a liposome/gene complex through electrostatic interaction. The complex is positively charged due to the excess of cationic liposome, and the positively charged liposome/gene complex is adsorbed on the negatively charged cell surface due to electrostatic interaction. And then enters the cell by fusion with the cell membrane or endocytosis of the cell. The main feature of cationic lipids for gene therapy is charge-influenced membrane fusion during endosome escape. However, the excessive positive charge of the cationic lipid/gene complex and the difficult degradation of part of the cationic lipid also contribute to cytotoxicity. Thus lower transfection efficiency and cytotoxicity are major drawbacks limiting the use of cationic lipids. At present, cationic lipid is used as a gene vector, which is the most widely used non-viral vector at present due to the characteristics of simple structure, simple and convenient operation, high biological safety and the like, but the problems of low transfection efficiency and cytotoxicity caused by positive charge still need to be solved, so the ionizable cationic lipid is designed to solve the problems so as to achieve better gene therapy effect.

Example 10: immunity evaluation of lipid nanoparticles prepared from amino lipid compounds on BMDC primary cells

The preparation method comprises the following steps: the mol ratio of the amino lipidic compound to DOPE, cholesterol and PEG2000-DMG is 45: 10: 42.5: 2.5 in the absolute ethyl alcohol. Ovalbumin mrna (ova mrna) was dissolved in sodium acetate solution (50 mM, pH = 4.0). Two micro syringe pumps were used, the ratio of ethanol solution to sodium acetate solution (50 mM, pH = 4.0) was controlled to be 1:3, preparing a crude solution of lipid nanoparticles in a micro-flow channel chip, dialyzing with a dialysis cartridge (Fisher, MWCO 20,000) at 1 XPBS and a controlled temperature of 4 ℃ for 6h, and filtering with a 0.22 μm microporous membrane before use. The mass ratio of aminolipid compound to ovalbumin mRNA (OVA mRNA) was about 8: 1.

Animal preparation: female C57BL/6 mice of 6 weeks old are selected, the weight is about 20 g, the breeding environment is a SPF-grade breeding room, and animal experiments are carried out strictly according to the guidelines of the national health institution and the ethical requirements of animals.

Cell acquisition: the same as in example 8.

Activation of immune cells: add 1ug ovalbumin mRNA lipid nanoparticles to each well of a 12-well plate, incubate at 37 ℃ with 5% CO₂The culture was carried out in an incubator for 24 hours. Cells were blown down with PBS solution and centrifuged (100 g, 5 min) three times with PBS wash, followed by incubation with CD11c-APC antibody and SIINFEKL-H-2Kb-PE antibody, CD11c-APC antibody and MHC-II-PE antibody for 30minThen, the cells were washed once with PBS and centrifuged (100 g, 5 minutes) to remove unbound antibody, and then detected by flow cytometry (Beckmann cytoflex LX). Wherein CD11 is a marker for BMDCs, CD11c-APC antibody is used for labeling of DC populations, SIINFEKL-H-2Kb-PE antibody is used for labeling of OVA antigen presenting cell populations in cell populations, and MHC-II-PE antibody is used for labeling of mature DC cell populations. The results are shown in fig. 1 and 2, the abilities of A14N13 and A15N12 to stimulate BMDC to mature and present OVA antigen are equivalent to those of MC3, and the immune activation effects of A32N22, A34N22 and A35N20 are obviously better than those of the MC3 control group.
