编辑RNA的方法、组合物及其应用Methods, compositions and uses of editing RNA

技术领域Technical Field

本申请涉及生物医药领域,具体的涉及一种用于靶向RNA编辑的单链反义寡核苷酸(Antisense Oligonucleotide,ASO)、一种编辑RNA的方法、组合物及其应用。The present application relates to the field of biomedicine, and specifically to a single-stranded antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) for targeted RNA editing, a method for editing RNA, a composition and applications thereof.

背景技术Background Art

靶向RNA编辑以可逆和可调的方式操作遗传信息,不会对基因组造成永久性的改变,因此它与DNA编辑相比更为安全,在治疗应用中具有一定优势。RNA编辑主要包含腺苷(A)到肌苷(I)的转化和胞苷(C)到尿苷(U)的转化,分别通过腺苷脱氨酶(ADAR)和胞苷脱氨酶发生。研究最广泛的RNA编辑系统是ADAR介导的A-to-I的编辑,其中ADAR成员ADAR1(异构体p110和p150)和ADAR2已被设计用于A-to-I RNA编辑。ADAR是一种多结构域蛋白,其通过识别结构域识别特定的dsRNA序列和/或构象,并使用催化结构域通过核碱基的脱氨基化将A变为I。在翻译过程中A被读取为鸟苷(G)并与C配对,完成蛋白质序列的重新编码。Targeted RNA editing manipulates genetic information in a reversible and adjustable manner without causing permanent changes to the genome, so it is safer than DNA editing and has certain advantages in therapeutic applications. RNA editing mainly includes the conversion of adenosine (A) to inosine (I) and the conversion of cytidine (C) to uridine (U), which occurs through adenosine deaminase (ADAR) and cytidine deaminase, respectively. The most widely studied RNA editing system is ADAR-mediated A-to-I editing, in which ADAR members ADAR1 (isoforms p110 and p150) and ADAR2 have been designed for A-to-I RNA editing. ADAR is a multidomain protein that recognizes specific dsRNA sequences and/or conformations through a recognition domain and uses a catalytic domain to convert A to I through deamination of the nucleobase. During translation, A is read as guanosine (G) and paired with C to complete the recoding of the protein sequence.

一些RNA编辑工具已经被设计用于靶向A-to-I的转换。通过基因工程的方法将ADAR蛋白或其催化结构域与噬菌体λN肽、SNAP标签、MS2或dCas13b蛋白融合(PMID:34569891),并设计一个向导RNA(guide RNA,gRNA)来将ADAR融合蛋白引导至靶位点,从而获得RNA的定向编辑。也有研究显示,过表达ADAR1或ADAR2蛋白与含有R/G基序(ADAR招募区)的gRNA一起可实现靶向RNA编辑。Some RNA editing tools have been designed for targeted A-to-I conversion. ADAR protein or its catalytic domain is fused with bacteriophage λN peptide, SNAP tag, MS2 or dCas13b protein by genetic engineering (PMID: 34569891), and a guide RNA (gRNA) is designed to guide the ADAR fusion protein to the target site, thereby obtaining directed editing of RNA. Studies have also shown that overexpression of ADAR1 or ADAR2 protein together with gRNA containing R/G motif (ADAR recruitment region) can achieve targeted RNA editing.

研究人员进一步利用内源ADAR蛋白进行RNA编辑,无需外源蛋白,仅需引入一段gRNA即可完成内源ADAR蛋白的招募和对目标RNA的编辑,此种编辑方法包括两大类。The researchers further used endogenous ADAR proteins for RNA editing. No exogenous proteins were required. Only a gRNA was needed to recruit endogenous ADAR proteins and edit the target RNA. This editing method includes two major categories.

第一类gRNA包含一段靶向区和一段招募区,靶向区用于与包括目标腺苷的目标RNA区域互补,招募区用于招募天然存在于细胞中的ADAR蛋白并对靶向区进行RNA编辑。WO2016/097212(ProQR Therapeutics)描述了同时具有靶向区和招募区的寡核苷酸结构,其中招募区为单链分子内的茎环结构,靶向区包含部分化学修饰。WO2017/050306描述了与上述结构类似的RNA编辑工具,并在随后的申请CN112752844A中报道了基于上述工具进一步开发的名为“RESTORE”的RNA编辑技术。所述RESTORE优化了招募区序列,并在整条gRNA序列上分布了密集的化学修饰,但是需要在IFN-γ存在的前提下(诱导ADAR1 p150亚型的表达)才能有较高的编辑效率,而IFN-γ是决定自身免疫发展和严重程度的关键因子,这使之在医学领域的应用大打折扣。WO2022078569A1进一步公开了名为“CLUSTER”的RNA编辑方法,所述CLUSTER的gRNA在RESTORE招募区和靶向区的基础上,增加了3-10个募集序列簇,以提高RNA编辑的序列靶向性和灵活性。WO2022026928(ADARx Pharmaceuticals)也描述了由靶向区和招募区组成的gRNA,其中招募区由双链RNA互补形成的分子间结构,靶向区和招募区包含大量化学修饰,以达到较高编辑效率。WO2022147573A1(MALI Prashant et al)公开了一种环化的gRNA策略,通过共价闭环结构保护cadRNA不受核酸外切酶的影响,其中所述cadRNA通过招募区募集内源ADAR,从而实现高效且持久的RNA编辑。The first type of gRNA includes a targeting region and a recruitment region, the targeting region is used to complement the target RNA region including the target adenosine, and the recruitment region is used to recruit the ADAR protein naturally present in the cell and perform RNA editing on the targeting region. WO2016/097212 (ProQR Therapeutics) describes an oligonucleotide structure having both a targeting region and a recruitment region, wherein the recruitment region is a stem-loop structure within a single-stranded molecule, and the targeting region includes a partial chemical modification. WO2017/050306 describes an RNA editing tool similar to the above structure, and in the subsequent application CN112752844A, an RNA editing technology named "RESTORE" further developed based on the above tool was reported. The RESTORE optimizes the recruitment region sequence and distributes dense chemical modifications on the entire gRNA sequence, but it requires the presence of IFN-γ (inducing the expression of the ADAR1 p150 subtype) to have a higher editing efficiency, and IFN-γ is a key factor in determining the development and severity of autoimmunity, which greatly reduces its application in the medical field. WO2022078569A1 further discloses an RNA editing method named "CLUSTER", in which the gRNA of CLUSTER adds 3-10 recruitment sequence clusters based on the RESTORE recruitment region and the targeting region to improve the sequence targeting and flexibility of RNA editing. WO2022026928 (ADARx Pharmaceuticals) also describes a gRNA consisting of a targeting region and a recruitment region, wherein the recruitment region is an intermolecular structure formed by the complementarity of double-stranded RNA, and the targeting region and the recruitment region contain a large number of chemical modifications to achieve a higher editing efficiency. WO2022147573A1 (MALI Prashant et al) discloses a cyclized gRNA strategy that protects cadRNA from the influence of nucleases through a covalent closed loop structure, wherein the cadRNA recruits endogenous ADARs through the recruitment region, thereby achieving efficient and durable RNA editing.

第二类gRNA是一段仅包含靶向区的单链反义寡核苷酸。WO2017/220751(ProQRTherapeutics)公开的单链反义寡核苷酸AON包含18-50个核苷酸,所述AON具有一个或多个复杂修饰的核苷酸,且5’和3’以硫代磷酸酯键连接,但编辑效率不高,申请PCT/EP2017/071912(ProQR Therapeutics)进一步通过特殊化学修饰以提高编辑。WO/2020/074001(博雅辑因)记载了称为“LEAPER”的RNA编辑方法,LEAPER使用的gRNA包含60-200个与目标RNA互补配对的线性核苷酸dRNA,所述dRNA的5’和3’包含甲基化和/或硫代磷酸酯化修饰,针对目标腺苷产生较高效的编辑,但其对于治疗应用通常过长。HK40062258A(博雅辑因)在LEAPER的基础上,进一步开发了LEAPER 2.0,该方法将dRNA环化,保护dRNA不受核酸外切酶的影响,以实现持久编辑。The second type of gRNA is a single-stranded antisense oligonucleotide that only contains the targeting region. The single-stranded antisense oligonucleotide AON disclosed in WO2017/220751 (ProQR Therapeutics) contains 18-50 nucleotides, and the AON has one or more complex modified nucleotides, and the 5' and 3' are connected by thiophosphate bonds, but the editing efficiency is not high. The application PCT/EP2017/071912 (ProQR Therapeutics) further improves the editing through special chemical modifications. WO/2020/074001 (Boya Gene) records an RNA editing method called "LEAPER". The gRNA used by LEAPER contains 60-200 linear nucleotide dRNAs that are complementary to the target RNA. The 5' and 3' of the dRNA contain methylation and/or thiophosphate modifications, which produce more efficient editing for the target adenosine, but it is usually too long for therapeutic applications. HK40062258A (BoYaGene) further developed LEAPER 2.0 based on LEAPER, which circularizes dRNA and protects it from nuclease exonucleases to achieve persistent editing.

但是,以上RNA编辑系统都具有一定局限性。针对第一类RNA编辑系统:首先,外源编辑蛋白和gRNA的异位表达最理想的体内递送方法是病毒载体,腺相关病毒AAV是较为理想的病毒载体,但是其负载量难以同时容纳编辑蛋白和gRNA;其次,非人类来源蛋白质的异位表达具有引发免疫原性的潜在风险,并且可能被适应性免疫系统损害编辑活性;再次,ADAR的过表达极易影响其本身的内源基因编辑,造成内稳态的紊乱,具有致病风险。最后,ADAR的过表达会引起转录组全局的脱靶现象,引发致癌风险。针对第二类RNA编辑系统:使用包含一段靶向区和一段招募区的gRNA或者一段仅包含靶向区的单链反义寡核苷酸虽然可以募集内源ADAR以避免上述问题,但是仍存在编辑效率低的问题。However, the above RNA editing systems all have certain limitations. For the first type of RNA editing system: First, the most ideal in vivo delivery method for the ectopic expression of exogenous editing proteins and gRNA is viral vectors. Adeno-associated virus AAV is a more ideal viral vector, but its load capacity is difficult to accommodate both editing proteins and gRNA; secondly, the ectopic expression of non-human proteins has the potential risk of causing immunogenicity, and the editing activity may be impaired by the adaptive immune system; thirdly, the overexpression of ADAR can easily affect its own endogenous gene editing, causing homeostasis disorders and posing a pathogenic risk. Finally, the overexpression of ADAR can cause global off-target phenomena in the transcriptome, causing carcinogenic risks. For the second type of RNA editing system: Although the use of gRNA containing a targeting region and a recruitment region or a single-stranded antisense oligonucleotide containing only a targeting region can recruit endogenous ADAR to avoid the above problems, there is still a problem of low editing efficiency.

因此,亟待对募集内源ADAR的RNA编辑系统进行进一步改进,提高单链反义寡核苷酸与目标RNA的结合稳定性,从而提高RNA编辑系统的编辑效率。Therefore, it is urgent to further improve the RNA editing system that recruits endogenous ADARs to enhance the binding stability between single-stranded antisense oligonucleotides and target RNA, thereby improving the editing efficiency of the RNA editing system.

在本申请中,术语“RNA编辑”,通常指在基因组编码的RNA序列中引入变化,从而导致RNA突变的共转录或转录后修饰过程。双链RNA(dsRNA)中的腺苷编辑为肌苷(A-到-I),由作用于RNA(ADAR)酶家族的腺苷脱氨酶催化,是哺乳动物中常见的RNA编辑类型。在脊椎动物中,先前已对三种ADAR蛋白ADAR1、ADAR2和ADAR3的家族进行了表征。ADAR1和ADAR2(ADAR)催化所有当前已知的A-到-I编辑位点。ADAR3没有已知的脱氨酶活性。肌苷(I)模拟鸟苷(G),因此ADAR蛋白在转录物中引入了虚拟的A到G取代。这种变化可以导致特定的氨基酸取代、可变剪接、miRNA介导的基因沉默、转录物定位或稳定性或表达的变化。In this application, the term "RNA editing" generally refers to the co-transcriptional or post-transcriptional modification process that introduces changes in the RNA sequence encoded by the genome, resulting in RNA mutations. Adenosine editing in double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is catalyzed by adenosine deaminases acting on RNA (ADAR) enzyme family and is a common type of RNA editing in mammals. In vertebrates, a family of three ADAR proteins ADAR1, ADAR2 and ADAR3 has been previously characterized. ADAR1 and ADAR2 (ADAR) catalyze all currently known A-to-I editing sites. ADAR3 has no known deaminase activity. Inosine (I) mimics guanosine (G), so ADAR proteins introduce virtual A to G substitutions in transcripts. This change can lead to specific amino acid substitutions, alternative splicing, miRNA-mediated gene silencing, changes in transcript localization or stability or expression.

在本申请中,RNA编辑不仅可以用于动物细胞,例如哺乳动物细胞,还可以用于编辑植物或真菌的RNA,例如,在具有内源表达的脱氨酶(如ADAR)的植物或真菌中。本申请的方法可用于产生优化的基因工程植物和真菌。In the present application, RNA editing can be used not only in animal cells, such as mammalian cells, but also in editing RNA of plants or fungi, for example, in plants or fungi with endogenously expressed deaminases (such as ADARs).
