Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to a nucleic acid capable of inhibiting the expression of xanthine oxidase (XO) gene and a nucleic acid-containing pharmaceutical composition and siRNA conjugate.
- XO xanthine oxidase
- the present disclosure also relates to preparation methods and uses of these nucleic acids, pharmaceutical compositions and siRNA conjugates.
- Gout is a disease directly related to hyperuricemia caused by disorder of purine metabolism and/or decreased uric acid excretion. Gout has been a common disease in developed countries such as Europe and the United States since ancient times. After the Second World War, with the economic development of various countries, its prevalence has been increasing year by year in the world, and there is a trend of younger generation. There are currently 12 million gout patients in China.
- Xanthine oxidase is one of the key targets for the treatment of gout.
- XO Xanthine oxidase
- the production of hypoxanthine and guanine can be effectively inhibited, thereby reducing the production of uric acid, so as to achieve the purpose of alleviating the course of gout disease and reversing the condition.

Description
本公开涉及一种能够抑制黄嘌呤氧化酶(XO)基因表达的核酸和含核酸的药物组合物和siRNA缀合物。本公开还涉及这些核酸、药物组合物与siRNA缀合物的制备方法和用途。
痛风是一种与嘌呤代谢紊乱和/或尿酸排泄减少所致的高尿酸血症直接相关的疾病。痛风自古就是欧美等发达国家的常见病,第二次世界大战后,随着各国经济的发展,其患病率在全球呈逐年升高的趋势,且有年轻化的趋势。目前在中国痛风患者就有1200万。
黄嘌呤氧化酶(XO)是治疗痛风的关键靶点之一。通过抑制XO表达,能够有效抑制次黄嘌呤、鸟嘌呤的产生,进而减少尿酸产生,从而达到缓解痛风疾病进程并逆转病情的目的。通过抑制XO基因的表达,能够在细胞水平上对尿酸代谢异常引发的疾病、特别是高尿酸血症以及痛风进行预防和治疗。小干扰RNA(small interfering RNA,siRNA)可基于RNA干扰(RNA interference,RNAi)这一机制,以序列特异性的方式抑制或阻断任何感兴趣的目的基因的表达,从而达到治疗疾病的目的。
开发抑制XO基因表达和治疗尿酸代谢异常引发的疾病的siRNA药物的关键之一在于寻找合适的siRNA及其修饰以及有效的递送系统。

当M
1为对哺乳动物肝脏细胞表面上的去唾液酸糖蛋白受体具有亲合力的配体时,在一些实施方式中,n1可以是1-3的整数,n3可以是0-4的整数,保证所述siRNA缀合物中M
1靶向基团的个数至少为2;在一些实施方式中,n1+n3≥2,这样可以使得M

1靶向基团与肝表面去唾液酸糖蛋白受体更容易结合,进而促进所述siRNA缀合物通过内吞作用进入细胞。实验表明,当M
1靶向基团的个数大于3个时,M
1靶向基团与肝表面去唾液酸糖蛋白受体结合的容易程度增加并不明显,因此,从合成容易程度、结构/工艺成本和递送效率等多方面综合考虑,在一些实施方式中,n1为1-2的整数,n3为0-1的整数,且n1+n3=2-3。
在一些实施方式中,m1、m2或m3独立地选自2-10的整数时,可以使多个M

用DEPC化水将以下siRNA中的每一个分别配制成20μM、4μM、0.8μM、0.16μM、0.032μM、0.0064μM、1.44nM、0.72nM(以siRNA计)的共8种不同浓度的siRNA工作液。所用siRNA分别为siXOa1M1S、siXOb1M1S、siXOc1M1S、siXOd1M1S、siXOe1M1S、siXOf1M1S。
向上述接种CAL-27细胞的不同的培养孔中依次以15μL/孔的量加入上述8种不同浓度的siRNA工作液。这样,对于上述siRNA中的每一个,每一培养孔中siRNA终浓度依次为5μM、1μM、0.2μM、0.04μM、0.008μM、0.0016μM、0.32nM、0.064nM,混匀,记为测试组。以仅接种了CAL-27细胞、未加入siRNA工作液的培养孔记为对照组。
使用电转仪(EBXP-H1产,壹达细胞电转仪)对测试组和对照组进行电转染,转染参数如下:电压(Voltage):210V;脉冲时间(Pulse Duration):100μs;脉冲数:6次;脉冲间隔(Interval):1000ms。
在前述进行了转染的测试组和对照组样品的每一培养孔中分别加入240μl含20%FBS的H-DMEM完全培养基,得到转染后的细胞培养液。对于每一培养孔,再将转染后的细胞培养液转移到24孔板的两个培养孔中,每孔140μl细胞培养液,再在该24孔板的每个加入细胞培养液的培养孔中加入855μl含20%FBS的H-DMEM完全培养基,继续培养24h,得到待测细胞培养液。随后,使用RNAVzol(购自威格拉斯生物技术(北京)有限公司,货号N002)按照说明书描述步骤分别提取每孔的待测细胞培养液中的总RNA。
对于24孔板中的每孔细胞,分别取1μg总RNA,使用反转录试剂盒Goldenstar
TM RT6 cDNA Synthesis Kit(购自北京擎科新业生物技术有限公司,货号TSK301M)提供的试剂,其中选取Goldenstar
TM Oligo(dT)
17作为引物,按试剂盒说明书中反转录操作步骤配置反转录反应体系20μl,对细胞的总RNA进行反转录。反转录的条件为:将反转录反应体系置于50℃孵育50min,然后85℃孵育5min,最后4℃孵育30s,反应结束后,向反转录反应体系中加入DEPC水80μl,得到含cDNA的溶液。
对于每一反转录反应体系,分别取上述含cDNA的溶液5μl做模板,使用

表6 检测引物的序列
采用比较Ct(ΔΔCt)法,对各测试组和对照组中目标基因XO的表达量进行相对定量计算,计算方法如下:
ΔCt(测试组)=Ct(测试组目标基因)–Ct(测试组内参基因)
ΔCt(对照组)=Ct(对照组目标基因)–Ct(对照组内参基因)
ΔΔCt(测试组)=ΔCt(测试组)-ΔCt(对照组平均)
ΔΔCt(对照组)=ΔCt(对照组)-ΔCt(对照组平均)
其中,ΔCt(对照组平均)是对照组2个培养孔各自的ΔCt(对照组)的算术平均值。从而,测试组和对照组的每一培养孔均对应一个ΔΔCt值。
以对照组为基准,对测试组XO mRNA的表达水平进行归一化,定义对照组XO mRNA表达水平为100%,
测试组XO mRNA相对表达水平=2
-ΔΔCt(测试组)×100%。
对于同一测试组siRNA,每一浓度下的测试组XO mRNA相对表达水平的平均值为该浓度2个培养孔的相对表达水平的算术平均值。
利用Graphpad 6.0软件log(inhibitor)vs.response—Variable slope功能来拟合所述剂量-效应曲线,根据剂量-效应曲线计算各siRNA对XO mRNA的IC
50值。具体来说,拟合获得的剂量-效应曲线符合以下计算公式:
式中:
Y是各测试组mRNA相对表达水平,
X为对应测试组所使用的siRNA浓度的对数值,
Bot是稳态期底部的Y值,
Top是稳态期顶部的Y值,
X'是拟合获得的当Y在底部到顶部之间一半时的X值,而HillSlope则是拟合获得的曲线在X'处的斜率。

随后,使用RNAVzol(购自威格拉斯生物技术(北京)有限公司,货号N002)根据说明书记载的方法提取各孔细胞中的总RNA。
对于每孔细胞,分别取1μg总RNA,使用反转录试剂盒Goldenstar
TM RT6 cDNA Synthesis Kit(购自北京擎科新业生物技术有限公司,货号TSK301M)提供的试剂,其中选取Goldenstar
TM Oligo(dT)
17作为引物,按试剂盒说明书中反转录操作步骤配置反转录反应体系20μl,对各孔细胞的总RNA进行反转录。反转录的条件为:对于每一反转录反应体系,将反转录反应体系置于50℃孵育50min,然后85℃孵育5min,最后4℃孵育30s,反应结束后,向反转录反应体系中加入DEPC水80μl,得到含cDNA的溶液。
对于每一反转录反应体系,分别取上述含cDNA的溶液5μl做模板,使用
SYBR qPCR SuperMix Plus试剂盒(购自近岸蛋白质科技有限公司,货号E096-01B)提供的试剂配置qPCR反应体系20μl,其中,用于扩增目标基因XO和内参基因GAPDH的PCR引物序列如表7所示,每条引物的终浓度为0.25μM。将各qPCR反应体系置于ABI StepOnePlus Real-Time PCR仪上,使用三步法进行扩增,扩增程序为95℃预变性10min,然后95℃变性30s,60℃退火30s,72℃延伸30s,重复上述变性、退火、延伸的过程共40次后,得到含有扩增了目标基因XO和内参基因GAPDH的产物W。产物W随即依次经过95℃ 15s,60℃ 1min,95℃ 15s的孵育,实时荧光定量PCR仪分别收集产物W中目标基因XO和内参基因GAPDH的溶解曲线,得到目标基因XO和内参基因GAPDH的Ct值。
表8 引物信息
采用比较Ct(ΔΔCt)法,对各测试组中目标基因XO进行相对定量计算,计算方法如下:
ΔCt(测试组)=Ct(测试组目标基因)–Ct(测试组内参基因)
ΔCt(对照组)=Ct(对照组目标基因)–Ct(对照组内参基因)
ΔΔCt(测试组)=ΔCt(测试组)-ΔCt(对照组平均)
ΔΔCt(对照组)=ΔCt(对照组)-ΔCt(对照组平均)
其中,ΔCt(对照组平均)是对照组三个培养孔各自的ΔCt(对照组)的算术平均值。从而,测试组和对照组的每一培养孔均对应一个ΔΔCt值。
以对照组为基准,对测试组XO mRNA的表达水平进行归一化,定义空白对照组XO mRNA表达水平为100%,
测试组XO mRNA相对表达水平=2
-ΔΔCt(测试组)×100%
测试组XO mRNA抑制率=(1-测试组XO mRNA相对表达水平)×100%
图2为依次转染了本公开的siXOg1M1S、siXOh1M1S、siXOi1M1S、siXOj1M1S、siXOk1M1S和siXOl1M1S后,小鼠肝原代细胞中XO mRNA相对表达水平的柱状图。进一步地,各siRNA对XO mRNA的抑制率总结于表9中。对于同一测试组siRNA,XO mRNA抑制率是三个培养孔测定的测试组XO mRNA抑制率的算术平均值。图2中,siRNA7-12依次对应siXOg1M1S、siXOh1M1S、siXOi1M1S、siXOj1M1S、siXOk1M1S和siXOl1M1S。

实验例4
siRNA缀合物在小鼠体内对XO mRNA表达的抑制
将C57BL/6N小鼠随机分组(均为雌性),每组5只小鼠,分别编号。以皮下注射的方式,对每组小鼠分别以3mg/kg(以siRNA计)的剂量给予siRNA缀合物L10-siXOi1M1S、L10-siXOk1M1S和对比siRNA缀合物NC。siRNA缀合物分别以含0.6mg/ml(以siRNA计)的siRNA缀合物的0.9%氯化钠水溶液形式提供,给药体积均为5ml/kg。
