BACKGROUND
The present invention relates to cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) mRNA compositions, uses of same, and methods of making and using same.
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal inherited disorder resulting from mutation of the CFTR gene, which encodes a chloride ion channel believed to be involved in regulation of multiple other ion channels and transport systems in epithelial cells. Loss of function of CFTR results in chronic lung disease, aberrant mucus production, and dramatically reduced life expectancy. See generally Rowe et al., New Engl. J. Med. 352, 1992-2001 (2005).
Despite cloning of the CFTR gene in 1989, effective therapy for replacing CFTR for the treatment of cystic fibrosis has yet to be developed. The literature has documented numerous difficulties encountered in attempting to induce expression of CFTR in the lung. For example, viral vectors comprising CFTR DNA triggered immune responses and CF symptoms persisted after administration. Conese et al., J. Cyst. Fibros. 10 Suppl 2, S114-28 (2011); Rosenecker et al., Curr. Opin. Mol. Ther. 8, 439-45 (2006). Non-viral delivery of DNA, including CFTR DNA, has also been reported to trigger immune responses. Alton et al., Lancet 353, 947-54 (1999); Rosenecker et al., J Gene Med. 5, 49-60 (2003). Furthermore, non-viral DNA vectors encounter the additional problem that the machinery of the nuclear pore complex does not ordinarily import DNA into the nucleus, where transcription would occur. Pearson, Nature 460, 164-69 (2009).
Another source of difficulties in inducing CFTR expression in the lung is the lung environment itself. Pulmonary surfactant has been reported to reduce transfection efficiency for cationic lipid transfer vehicles such as Lipofectamine (DOSPA:DOPE). Ernst et al., J. Gene Med. 1, 331-40 (1999).
Also, Rosenecker et al., 2003, supra, identified multiple inhibitory components present in the airway surface liquid which can interfere with either polymer-mediated or lipid-mediated transfection. Messenger RNA therapy has been proposed as a general approach for inducing expression of a therapeutic or replacement protein. The concept of introduction of messenger RNA (mRNA) as a means of protein production within a host has been reported previously (Yamamoto, A. et al. Eur. J. Pharm. 2009, 71, 484-489; Debus, H. et al. J. Control Rel. 2010, 148, 334-343). However, apparent lung-specific difficulties have been reported for mRNA delivery using certain lipoplexes formulations. For example, a comparison of in vitro and in vivo performance of lipoplexes carrying mRNA or DNA revealed that even though the mRNA composition gave higher expression in cultured cells, measurable expression was detected only with the DNA composition when administered intranasally to mouse lung. Andries et al., Mol. Pharmaceut. 9, 2136-45 (2012).
It should also be noted that CFTR is a relatively large gene relative to model or reporter genes such as firefly luciferase (FFL). Compare the lengths of the wild-type CFTR coding sequence (SEQ ID NO: 2) and the FFL coding sequence (SEQ ID NO: 7). The difference in length can impact stability under some circumstances, and therefore whether and how much protein expression any given dose of mRNA will produce. Furthermore, although in vitro synthesis of mRNA is generally preferable to synthesis by cells due to the absence of normal cellular mRNA and other cellular components which constitute undesirable contaminants, in vitro synthesis of mRNA with a long coding sequence, such as CFTR mRNA, is substantially more difficult to achieve than in vitro synthesis of mRNA with a relatively short coding sequence such as FFL.
PCT patent publication WO2007/024708 and US patent publications US2010/0203627 and US2011/0035819 discuss the therapeutic administration of CFTR mRNA but provide neither a demonstrated reduction to practice of production of functional CFTR in the lung following administration of CFTR mRNA or sufficient guidance for overcoming the difficulties associated with inducing CFTR expression in the lung using in vitro-transcribed CFTR mRNA. These include difficulties with achieving in vitro synthesis of the mRNA and difficulties specific to the interactions of mRNA compositions with lung-specific substances that investigators such as Andries et al., supra, have found to render mRNA compositions ineffective for induction of expression even while corresponding DNA-based compositions did provide some level of expression.
Thus, there is a need for improved materials, formulations, production methods, and methods for delivery of CFTR mRNA for induction of CFTR expression, including in the mammalian lung, for the treatment of cystic fibrosis.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Definitions
As used herein, the term “polynucleotide” is generally used to refer to a nucleic acid (e.g., DNA or RNA). The terms polynucleotide, nucleic acid, DNA, RNA, and mRNA include such molecules that are comprised of: standard or unmodified residues; nonstandard or modified residues; and mixtures of standard and nonstandard residues.
As used herein, the term “mRNA” is used to refer to modified and unmodified RNA including both a coding region and a noncoding region.
As used herein, the phrase “coding region” of an mRNA generally refers to that portion that when translated results in the production of an expression product, such as a polypeptide, protein, or enzyme.
A “nonstandard nucleobase” is a base moiety other than the natural bases adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), thymine (T), or uracil (U). The nonstandard nucleobase is an analog of a specific nucleobase (A, C, G, T, or U) when its base pairing properties in a nucleic acid double helix and locus of incorporation by DNA or RNA polymerases in a nucleic acid double helix (including a local RNA-DNA helix such as that formed during transcription of a DNA template by RNA polymerase) are most similar to one of the five previously listed nucleobases, with the exception that analogs of T will generally also be analogs of U and vice versa. For purposes of determining percentage identity of a first sequence relative to a second sequence, an analog of a base is not a mismatch to the natural base; for example, pseudouridine matches uridine, 5-methylcytidine matches cytidine, etc.
The term “nonstandard” used in conjunction with terms including but not limited to “nucleoside”, “base”, “nucleotide”, or “residue” is to be interpreted in the same manner as if it were used in conjunction with “nucleobase.”
“GC content” is the fraction or percentage of total nucleobase residues in a nucleic acid sequence that are guanine residues, cytosine residues, or analogs thereof. For example, a 100 nt sequence that contains exactly 30 cytosines, exactly 30 guanines, exactly one cytosine analog, and exactly one guanine analog has a GC richness of 62%.
As used herein, a “disfavored codon” refers to a codon which is translated less efficiently or rapidly by mammalian cells than another codon for the same amino acid residue. Disfavored codons generally include codons with an A or U in the 3rd or “wobble” position of the codon. For a discussion of disfavored codons, see, e.g., U.S. Patent Publication 2009/0069256 A1.
A “non-naturally occurring mRNA molecule” is an mRNA that is not produced through normal transcription and splicing processes of wild-type cells. An mRNA may qualify as non-naturally occurring by virtue of its sequence (e.g., a series of codons and/or one or more UTRs that do not present in any naturally-occurring CFTR mRNA) and/or because it includes nonstandard nucleotide residues. A non-naturally occurring mRNA molecule may be in vitro synthesized.
In each of Tables 1 and 2 below, the NWT column indicates the non-wild-type base at the position (Pos.) in the CFTR coding sequence (see, e.g., SEQ ID NO: 3), and the WT column indicates the wild-type base at the same position (see, e.g., SEQ ID NO: 2 or the RefSeq entry for human CFTR (accession no. NM_000492.3, Feb. 10, 2013, version, available from GenBank; note that the sequence of NM_000492.3 contains noncoding sequence such that the coding sequence occurs at position 133 to 4575, such that, for example, position 7 in the tables below corresponds to position 139 of the NM_000492.3 sequence).
Non-Naturally Occurring CFTR mRNA
In addition to providing methods of producing functional CFTR in vivo using naturally occurring or wild-type CFTR mRNA (and compositions comprising that mRNA), the invention also provides non-naturally occurring CFTR mRNA that encodes CFTR protein (e.g., SEQ ID NO:1). In some embodiments, the non-naturally occurring CFTR mRNA is purified or isolated.
In other embodiments, the non-naturally occurring CFTR mRNA is present in a cell. In some embodiments, the cell comprising the non-naturally occurring CFTR mRNA did not synthesize the non-naturally occurring CFTR mRNA and/or does not comprise DNA complementary to the non-naturally occurring CFTR mRNA and/or a functional CFTR gene; the cell may optionally comprise an inactive CFTR gene, such as a CFTR gene with a nonsense, missense, frameshift, insertion, or deletion mutation that renders the expression product of the gene nonfunctional. In some embodiments, the cell comprising the non-naturally occurring CFTR mRNA further comprises functional CFTR protein translated from the non-naturally occurring CFTR mRNA. The cell may be, e.g., a lung epithelial cell, a liver cell, or a kidney cell. In some embodiments, the cell is in a cell culture.
CFTR Coding Sequence
In some embodiments, CFTR mRNA according to the invention comprises a coding sequence with fewer complements of cryptic promoters than SEQ ID NO: 2 (i.e., the coding sequence of wild-type human CFTR), fewer direct and/or inverted repeats than SEQ ID NO: 2, fewer disfavored codons than SEQ ID NO: 2, and/or the GC content of the coding sequence is lower than the GC content of SEQ ID NO: 2.
Cryptic promoters, direct and/or inverted repeats and/or disfavored codons of a sequence may be recognized by one skilled in the art using routine methods. For example, the direct and/or inverted repeat content of a sequence can be determined by sequence analysis (Liu et al., Journal of Theoretical Biology (2014) 344: 19-30). The cryptic promoter content of a sequence can also be determined by sequence analysis, e.g., presence of Shine-Dalgarno sequences within construct or the like.
In some embodiments, CFTR mRNA according to the invention is in vitro-transcribed, i.e., the mRNA was synthesized in an artificial setting not within a biological cell (e.g., a cell free in vitro transcription system). Generally, in vitro transcription involves providing a DNA template comprising a promoter and a sequence complementary to the desired mRNA (which may be circular or linear), an RNA polymerase, and nucleoside triphosphates in suitable reaction conditions (salts, buffers, and temperature). RNase inhibitors, reducing agents, and/or pyrophosphatase may be present in the reaction mixture. In some embodiments, the RNA polymerase is T7 RNA polymerase.
In some embodiments, the CFTR mRNA according to the invention comprises a coding sequence comprising at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, or at least 95% of the non-wild-type bases listed in Table 1 at the positions of the coding sequence listed in Table 1 relative to the wild-type coding sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2.

In some embodiments, the present invention comprises a non-naturally occurring CFTR mRNA comprising a coding sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3. Additional exemplary non-naturally occurring CFTR mRNA coding sequences are described in the Brief Description of Sequences section, such as, for example, SEQ ID NOs:9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, or 17. In some embodiments, the present invention provides a CFTR mRNA comprising a coding sequence at least 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% identical to any of SEQ ID NO: 3, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, or 17. In some embodiments, a non-naturally occurring CFTR mRNA comprises a 5′UTR, 3′UTR, a signal peptide coding sequence or a cap or tail structure as described below.
The above-described CFTR mRNAs comprising coding sequence which differs from wild-type CFTR coding sequence can provide advantages with respect to efficacy and ease of preparation. For example, in vitro transcription reactions using a polynucleotide comprising template sequence complementary to the CFTR coding sequence can give greater RNA yield; a polynucleotide comprising said template sequence can be more stable (i.e., less prone to mutation) during growth in a host cell, reducing the amount of purification needed to generate template usable in a reaction; and the in vivo translation of an mRNA comprising the coding sequence can be higher.
Signal Peptide Sequence
In some embodiments, an mRNA encoding a CFTR protein incorporates a nucleotide sequence encoding a signal peptide. As used herein, the term “signal peptide” refers to a peptide present at a newly synthesized protein that can target the protein towards the secretory pathway. In some embodiments, the signal peptide is cleaved after translocation into the endoplasmic reticulum following translation of the mRNA. Signal peptide is also referred to as signal sequence, leader sequence or leader peptide. Typically, a signal peptide is a short (e.g., 5-30, 5-25, 5-20, 5-15, or 5-10 amino acids long) peptide. A signal peptide may be present at the N-terminus of a newly synthesized protein. Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, the incorporation of a signal peptide encoding sequence on a CFTR encoding mRNA may facilitate the secretion and/or production of the CFTR protein in vivo.
A suitable signal peptide for the present invention can be a heterogeneous sequence derived from various eukaryotic and prokaryotic proteins, in particular secreted proteins. In some embodiments, a suitable signal peptide is a leucine-rich sequence. See Yamamoto Y et al. (1989), Biochemistry, 28:2728-2732, which is incorporated herein by reference. A suitable signal peptide may be derived from a human growth hormone (hGH), serum albumin preproprotein, Ig kappa light chain precursor, Azurocidin preproprotein, cystatin-S precursor, trypsinogen 2 precursor, potassium channel blocker, alpha conotoxin 1p1.3, alpha conotoxin, alfa-galactosidase, cellulose, aspartic proteinase nepenthesin-1, acid chitinase, K28 prepro-toxin, killer toxin zygocin precursor, and Cholera toxin. Exemplary signal peptide sequences are described in Kober, et al., Biotechnol. Bioeng., 110: 1164-73, 2012, which is incorporated herein by reference.
In some embodiments, a CFTR encoding mRNA may incorporate a sequence encoding a signal peptide derived from human growth hormone (hGH), or a fragment thereof. A non-limiting nucleotide sequence encoding a hGH signal peptide is show below.

In some embodiments, an mRNA according to the present invention may incorporate a signal peptide encoding sequence having at least 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or more identity to SEQ ID NO:18 or SEQ ID NO:19.
5′-UTR, 3′-UTR, Poly-A Tail, Cap, and Nonstandard Nucleotide Residues
In some embodiments, the mRNA comprises a sequence in its 5′-UTR which is identical to SEQ ID NO: 4 or is at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 98%, or at least 99% identical to SEQ ID NO: 4.
In some embodiments, the mRNA comprises a sequence in its 3′-UTR which is identical to SEQ ID NO: 5 or is at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 98%, or at least 99% identical to SEQ ID NO: 5.
In some embodiments, the mRNA comprises a poly-A tail. In some embodiments, the poly-A tail has a length of at least 70, 100, 120, 150, 200, 250, 300, 400, or 500 residues. In some embodiments, the poly-A tail has a length ranging from 70 to 100, 100 to 120, 120 to 150, 150 to 200, or 200 to 300, 300 to 400, or 400 to 500 residues. Poly A tails can be added using a variety of art-recognized techniques. For example, long poly A tails can be added to synthetic or in vitro transcribed RNA using poly A polymerase (Yokoe, el al. Nature Biotechnology. 1996; 14: 1252-1256). A transcription vector can also encode long poly A tails. In addition, poly A tails can be added by transcription directly from PCR products. Poly A may also be ligated to the 3′ end of a sense RNA with RNA ligase (see, e.g., Molecular Cloning A Laboratory Manual, 2nd Ed., ed. by Sambrook, Fritsch and Maniatis (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press: 1991 edition)). In some embodiments, a poly-U or poly-C tail may be used instead or in addition to a poly-A tail. For example, CFTR encoding mRNAs may include a 3′ poly(C) tail structure. A suitable poly-C tail on the 3′ terminus of mRNA typically include about 10 to 200 cytosine nucleotides (e.g., about 10 to 150 cytosine nucleotides, about 10 to 100 cytosine nucleotides, about 20 to 70 cytosine nucleotides, about 20 to 60 cytosine nucleotides, or about 10 to 40 cytosine nucleotides). The poly-C tail may be added to the poly-A tail or may substitute the poly-A tail.
In some embodiments, the mRNA comprises a 5′-cap, for example, a cap1 structure. For mRNA capping enzymes and procedures, see, e.g., Fechter, P.; Brownlee, G. G. “Recognition of mRNA cap structures by viral and cellular proteins” J. Gen. Virology 2005, 86, 1239-1249; European patent publication 2 010 659 A2; U.S. Pat. No. 6,312,926. A 5′ cap is typically added as follows: first, an RNA terminal phosphatase removes one of the terminal phosphate groups from the 5′ nucleotide, leaving two terminal phosphates; guanosine triphosphate (GTP) is then added to the terminal phosphates via a guanylyl transferase, producing a 5′5′5 triphosphate linkage; and the 7-nitrogen of guanine is then methylated by a methyltransferase. Examples of cap structures include, but are not limited to, m7G(5′)ppp (5′(A,G(5′)ppp(5′)A and G(5′)ppp(5′)G.
In some embodiments, the mRNA comprises one or more nonstandard nucleotide residues. The nonstandard nucleotide residues may include, e.g., 5-methyl-cytidine (“5mC”), pseudouridine (“ψU”), and/or 2-thio-uridine (“2sU”). See, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 8,278,036 or WO2011012316 for a discussion of such residues and their incorporation into mRNA. In some embodiments, mRNA may be SNIM RNA. As used herein, SNIM RNA is an acronym of Stabilized Non-Immunogenic Messenger RNA, designating messenger RNAs produced by in vitro transcription (IVT) including certain percentages of modified nucleotides in the IVT reaction as described in PCT Publication WO 2011/012316. SNIM RNA used in the Examples disclosed herein was produced by IVT in which 25% of U residues were 2-thio-uridine and 25% of C residues were 5-methylcytidine. The presence of nonstandard nucleotide residues may render an mRNA more stable and/or less immunogenic than a control mRNA with the same sequence but containing only standard residues. In further embodiments, the mRNA may comprise one or more nonstandard nucleotide residues chosen from isocytosine, pseudoisocytosine, 5-bromouracil, 5-propynyluracil, 6-aminopurine, 2-aminopurine, inosine, diaminopurine and 2-chloro-6-aminopurine cytosine, as well as combinations of these modifications and other nucleobase modifications. Certain embodiments may further include additional modifications to the furanose ring or nucleobase. Additional modifications may include, for example, sugar modifications or substitutions (e.g., one or more of a 2′-O-alkyl modification, a locked nucleic acid (LNA)). In some embodiments, the RNAs may be complexed or hybridized with additional polynucleotides and/or peptide polynucleotides (PNA). In embodiments where the sugar modification is a 2′-O-alkyl modification, such modification may include, but are not limited to a 2′-deoxy-2′-fluoro modification, a 2′-O-methyl modification, a 2′-O-methoxyethyl modification and a 2′-deoxy modification. In certain embodiments, any of these modifications may be present in 0-100% of the nucleotides—for example, more than 0%, 1%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 100% of the constituent nucleotides individually or in combination.
Compositions Comprising CFTR mRNA
In certain embodiments, the mRNA molecules of the invention may be administered as naked or unpackaged mRNA. In some embodiments, the administration of the mRNA in the compositions of the invention may be facilitated by inclusion of a suitable carrier. In certain embodiments, the carrier is selected based upon its ability to facilitate the transfection of a target cell with one or more mRNAs.
As used herein, the term “carrier” includes any of the standard pharmaceutical carriers, vehicles, diluents, excipients and the like which are generally intended for use in connection with the administration of biologically active agents, including mRNA.
In certain embodiments, the carriers employed in the compositions of the invention may comprise a liposomal vesicle, or other means to facilitate the transfer of a mRNA to target cells and/or tissues. Suitable carriers include, but are not limited to, polymer based carriers, such as polyethyleneimine (PEI) and multi-domain-block polymers, lipid nanoparticles and liposomes, nanoliposomes, ceramide-containing nanoliposomes, proteoliposomes, both natural and synthetically-derived exosomes, natural, synthetic and semi-synthetic lamellar bodies, nanoparticulates, calcium phosphor-silicate nanoparticulates, calcium phosphate nanoparticulates, silicon dioxide nanoparticulates, nanocrystalline particulates, semiconductor nanoparticulates, dry powders, poly(D-arginine), nanodendrimers, starch-based delivery systems, micelles, emulsions, sol-gels, niosomes, plasmids, viruses, calcium phosphate nucleotides, aptamers, peptides, peptide conjugates, small-molecule targeted conjugates, and other vectorial tags. Also contemplated is the use of bionanocapsules and other viral capsid proteins assemblies as a suitable carrier. (Hum. Gene Ther. 2008 September; 19(9):887-95).
In some embodiments, the carrier comprises an organic cation, such as a cationic lipid or a cationic organic polymer. If present, the cationic lipid may be a component of liposomal vesicles encapsulating the mRNA.
In certain embodiments of the invention, the carrier is formulated using a polymer as a carrier, alone or in combination with other carriers. Suitable polymers may include, for example, polyacrylates, polyalkycyanoacrylates, polylactide, polylactide-polyglycolide copolymers, polycaprolactones, dextran, albumin, gelatin, alginate, collagen, chitosan, cyclodextrins, protamine, PEGylated protamine, PLL, PEGylated PLL and polyethylenimine (PEI). When PEI is present, it may be branched PEI of a molecular weight ranging from 10 to 40 kDa, e.g., 25 kDa branched PEI (Sigma #408727). Additional exemplary polymers suitable for the present invention include those described in PCT Publication WO2013182683, the contents of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
The use of liposomal carriers to facilitate the delivery of polynucleotides to target cells is contemplated by the present invention. Liposomes (e.g., liposomal lipid nanoparticles) are generally useful in a variety of applications in research, industry, and medicine, particularly for their use as carriers of diagnostic or therapeutic compounds in vivo (Lasic, Trends Biotechnol., 16: 307-321, 1998; Drummond et al., Pharmacol. Rev., 51: 691-743, 1999) and are usually characterized as microscopic vesicles having an interior aqua space sequestered from an outer medium by a membrane of one or more bilayers. Bilayer membranes of liposomes are typically formed by amphiphilic molecules, such as lipids of synthetic or natural origin that comprise spatially separated hydrophilic and hydrophobic domains (Lasic, Trends Biotechnol., 16: 307-321, 1998). Bilayer membranes of the liposomes can also be formed by amphiphilic polymers and surfactants (e.g., polymerosomes, niosomes, etc.).
In certain embodiments, the mRNA is complexed with lipid nanoparticles to facilitate delivery to the target cell. In certain embodiments, the compositions of the invention may be combined with a multi-component lipid mixture employing one or more cationic lipids, additional lipids such as non-cationic lipids (also referred to as helper lipids), cholesterol-based lipids, and/or PEGylated lipids for mRNA encapsulation.
Cationic Lipids
In some embodiments, a suitable lipid nanoparticle contains a cationic lipid. As used herein, the phrase “cationic lipid” refers to any of a number of lipid species that have a net positive charge at a selected pH, such as physiological pH. Some cationic lipids, in particular, those known as titratable or pH-titratable cationic lipids are particularly effective in delivering mRNA. Several cationic (e.g., titratable) lipids have been described in the literature, many of which are commercially available. Particularly suitable cationic lipids for use in the compositions and methods of the invention include those described in international patent publications WO 2010/053572 (and particularly, C12-200 described at paragraph [00225]) and WO 2012/170930, both of which are incorporated herein by reference. In some embodiments, the cationic lipid cKK-E12 is used (disclosed in WO 2013/063468), the teachings of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. In some embodiments, the cationic lipid N-[1-(2,3-dioleyloxy)propyl]-N,N,N-trimethylammonium chloride or “DOTMA” is used. (Feigner et al. (Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. 84, 7413 (1987); U.S. Pat. No. 4,897,355). DOTMA can be formulated alone or can be combined with the neutral lipid, dioleoylphosphatidyl-ethanolamine or “DOPE” or other cationic or non-cationic lipids into a liposomal transfer vehicle or a lipid nanoparticle, and such liposomes can be used to enhance the delivery of nucleic acids into target cells. Other suitable cationic lipids include, for example, 5-carboxyspermylglycinedioctadecylamide or “DOGS,” 2,3-dioleyloxy-N-[2(spermine-carboxamido)ethyl]-N,N-dimethyl-1-propanaminium or “DOSPA” (Behr et al. Proc. Nat.'l Acad. Sci. 86, 6982 (1989); U.S. Pat. No. 5,171,678; U.S. Pat. No. 5,334,761), 1,2-Dioleoyl-3-Dimethylammonium-Propane or “DODAP”, 1,2-Dioleoyl-3-Trimethylammonium-Propane or “DOTAP”. Contemplated cationic lipids also include 1,2-distearyloxy-N,N-dimethyl-3-aminopropane or “DSDMA”, 1,2-dioleyloxy-N,N-dimethyl-3-aminopropane or “DODMA”, 1,2-dilinoleyloxy-N,N-dimethyl-3-aminopropane or “DLinDMA”, 1,2-dilinolenyloxy-N,N-dimethyl-3-aminopropane or “DLenDMA”, N-dioleyl-N,N-dimethylammonium chloride or “DODAC”, N,N-distearyl-N,N-dimethylarnmonium bromide or “DDAB”, N-(1,2-dimyristyloxyprop-3-yl)-N,N-dimethyl-N-hydroxyethyl ammonium bromide or “DM:ME”, 3-dimethylamino-2-(cholest-5-en-3-beta-oxybutan-4-oxy)-1-(cis,cis-9,12-octadecadienoxy)propane or “CLinDMA”, 2-[5′-(cholest-5-en-3-beta-oxy)-3′-oxapentoxy)-3-dimethy 1-1-(cis,cis-9′,1-2′-octadecadienoxy)propane or “CpLinDMA”, N,N-dimethyl-3,4-dioleyloxybenzylamine or “DMOBA”, 1,2-N,N′-dioleylcarbamyl-3-dimethylaminopropane or “DOcarbDAP”, 2,3-Dilinoleoyloxy-N,N-dimethylpropylamine or “DLinDAP”, 1,2-N,N′-Dilinoleylcarbamyl-3-dimethylaminopropane or “DLincarbDAP”, 1,2-Dilinoleoylcarbamyl-3-dimethylaminopropane or “DLinCDAP”, 2,2-dilinoleyl-4-dimethylaminomethyl-[1,3]-dioxolane or “DLin- -DMA”, 2,2-dilinoleyl-4-dimethylaminoethyl-[1,3]-dioxolane or “DLin-K-XTC2-DMA”, and 2-(2,2-di((9Z,12Z)-octadeca-9,12-dien-1-yl)-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)-N,N-dimethylethanamine (DLin-KC2-DMA)) (See, WO 2010/042877; Semple et al., Nature Biotech. 28: 172-176 (2010)), or mixtures thereof (Heyes, J., et al., J Controlled Release 107: 276-287 (2005); Morrissey, D V., et al., Nat. Biotechnol. 23(8): 1003-1007 (2005); PCT Publication WO2005/121348A1).
In certain embodiments, the compositions and methods of the invention employ a lipid nanoparticles comprising an ionizable cationic lipid described in U.S. provisional patent application 61/617,468, filed Mar. 29, 2013 (incorporated herein by reference), such as, e.g., (15Z,18Z)—N,N-dimethyl-6-(9Z,12Z)-octadeca-9,12-dien-1-yl)tetracosa-15,18-dien-1-amine (HGT5000), (15Z,18Z)—N,N-dimethyl-6-((9Z,12Z)-octadeca-9,12-dien-1-yl)tetracosa-4,15,18-trien-1-amine (HGT5001), and (15Z,18Z)—N,N-dimethyl-6-((9Z,12Z)-octadeca-9,12-dien-1-yl)tetracosa-5,15,18-trien-1-amine (HGT5002).
In some embodiments, one or more of the cationic lipids present in such a composition comprise at least one of an imidazole, dialkylamino, or guanidinium moiety. In a preferred embodiment, one or more of the cationic lipids does not comprise a quaternary amine.
Non-Cationic/Helper Lipids
In some embodiments, a suitable lipid nanoparticle contains one or more non-cationic (“helper”) lipids. As used herein, the phrase “non-cationic lipid” refers to any neutral, zwitterionic or anionic lipid. As used herein, the phrase “anionic lipid” refers to any of a number of lipid species that carry a net negative charge at a selected pH, such as physiological pH. In some embodiments, a non-cationic lipid is a neutral lipid, i.e., a lipid that does not carry a net charge in the conditions under which the composition is formulated and/or administered. Non-cationic lipids include, but are not limited to, distearoylphosphatidylcholine (DSPC), dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC), dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), dioleoylphosphatidylglycerol (DOPG), dipalmitoylphosphatidylglycerol (DPPG), dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE), palmitoyloleoylphosphatidylcholine (POPC), palmitoyloleoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine (POPE), dioleoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine 4-(N-maleimidomethyl)-cyclohexane-1-carboxylate (DOPE-mal), dipalmitoyl phosphatidyl ethanolamine (DPPE), dimyristoylphosphoethanolamine (DMPE), distearoyl-phosphatidyl-ethanolamine (DSPE), 16-O-monomethyl PE, 16-O-dimethyl PE, 18-1-trans PE, 1-stearoyl-2-oleoyl-phosphatidyethanolamine (SOPE), or a mixture thereof.
Cholesterol-Based Lipids
In some embodiments, a suitable lipid nanoparticle comprises one or more cholesterol-based lipids. For example, suitable cholesterol-based cationic lipids include, for example, cholesterol, PEGylated cholesterol, DC-Choi (N,N-dimethyl-N-ethylcarboxamidocholesterol), 1,4-bis(3-N-oleylamino-propyl)piperazine (Gao, et al. Biochem. Biophys. Res. Comm. 179, 280 (1991); Wolf et al. BioTechniques 23, 139 (1997); U.S. Pat. No. 5,744,335), or ICE.
PEGylated Lipids
In some embodiments, a suitable lipid nanoparticle comprises one or more PEGylated lipids. For example, the use of polyethylene glycol (PEG)-modified phospholipids and derivatized lipids such as derivatized ceramides (PEG-CER), including N-Octanoyl-Sphingosine-1-[Succinyl(Methoxy Polyethylene Glycol)-2000] (C8 PEG-2000 ceramide) is contemplated by the present invention in combination with one or more of the cationic and, in some embodiments, other lipids. In some embodiments, suitable PEGylated lipids comprise PEG-ceramides having shorter acyl chains (e.g., C14 or C18). In some embodiments, the PEGylated lipid DSPE-PEG-Maleimide-Lectin may be used. Other contemplated PEG-modified lipids include, but are not limited to, a polyethylene glycol chain of up to 5 kDa in length covalently attached to a lipid with alkyl chain(s) of C6-C20 length. Without wishing to be bound by a particular theory, it is contemplated that the addition of PEGylated lipids may prevent complex aggregation and increase circulation lifetime to facilitate the delivery of the lipsome encapsulated mRNA to the target cell.
In certain embodiments, the composition comprises one of the following combinations of lipids:
C12-200, DOPE, cholesterol, DMG-PEG2K;
DODAP, DOPE, cholesterol, DMG-PEG2K;
HGT5000, DOPE, cholesterol, DMG-PEG2K;
HGT5001, DOPE, cholesterol, DMG-PEG2K;

MC3, DSPC, cholesterol, PEG-DMG;
ALNY-100, DSPC, cholesterol, PEG-DSG;
cKK-E12, DOPE, Chol, PEGDMG2K.
In some embodiments, lipid:mRNA ratios can be 5:1 (mg:mg), 6:1, 7:1, 8:1, 9:1, 10:1 and greater up to 30:1 (mg:mg) or more. N/P ratios can be in the range of 1.1:1 up to 10:1 or higher. Example lipid ratios are 40:30:20:10, 55:20:20:5, 50:25:20:5 (cationic lipid:helper lipid:chol:PEG lipid).
In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions according to the invention do not comprise a mucolytic agent (e.g., N-acetylcysteine, erdosteine, bromheksin, carbocysteine, guiafenesin, or iodinated glycerol).
Apparatuses Loaded with a Pharmaceutical Composition
In some embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition according to the invention, such as a cationic lipid-based or PEI-based composition comprising a non-naturally occurring CFTR mRNA, is provided within an apparatus for administration to the respiratory system of a subject. The apparatus can be, e.g., an instillation, aerosolization, or nebulization apparatus. Suitable apparatuses include, for example, a PART Boy jet nebulizer, Aeroneb® Lab nebulizer, MicroSprayer®, or EFlow mesh nebulizer. Alternatively, dry powder inhalers or aerosolization apparatuses such as portable inhalers may be used.

mRNA comprising a coding sequence encoding SEQ ID NO: 1 which is at least 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 99%, or 100% identical to SEQ ID NO: 2 may have greater cryptic promoter, direct and inverted repeat, and/or GC content than the mRNA discussed above. It was observed that vectors comprising SEQ ID NO: 2 frequently underwent insertion/deletion/rearrangement mutations in host cells under typical growth conditions, resulting in a heterogeneous population of vectors that could not be used directly for in vitro transcription. It was found that growing host cells under conditions such as lower temperature, subdued light and/or low copy cells such as CopyCutter® reduced, but did not eliminate, the occurrence of mutation. Accordingly, it can be advisable for in vitro transcription reactions of mRNA comprising a coding sequence at least 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 99%, or 100% identical to SEQ ID NO: 2 to use a template obtained by growing the vector as described above, harvesting and linearizing the vector, and purifying the desired species for use in the transcription reaction. The purification step can be, e.g., size exclusion chromatography or weak anion exchange.
The in vitro transcribed mRNA for uses and methods according to the invention can comprise a 5′-UTR, 3′UTR, poly-A, poly-U and/or poly-C tail, cap, and/or nonstandard nucleotide residues, as discussed in the section above concerning such features.
Pharmaceutical Compositions for Uses and Methods
Pharmaceutical compositions for use according to the invention may comprise mRNA for uses and methods according to the invention as discussed in the preceding section and additional ingredients as discussed in the section above regarding compositions comprising CFTR mRNA. Thus, use and/or administration of pharmaceutical compositions comprising any of the carriers discussed above is contemplated.
In some preferred embodiments, pharmaceutical compositions comprise PEI, such as branched PEI having a molecular weight ranging from 10-40 kDa, for example, 25 kDa.
In other preferred embodiments, pharmaceutical compositions comprise a cationic lipid, a pegylated lipid, and an additional lipid (such as a neutral lipid). The cationic lipid, pegylated lipid, and/or additional lipid may be chosen from those listed in the section above regarding compositions comprising CFTR mRNA.
Routes of Administration for Induction of Expression in Lung
In some embodiments of methods and uses for induction of CFTR expression in a lung of a mammal, a pharmaceutical composition as described above is administered by a route chosen from intratracheal instillation, nebulization, and aerosolization. The apparatus for administering the composition can be chosen from the apparatuses listed in the section above regarding apparatuses loaded with a pharmaceutical composition.
In preferred embodiments, the composition is administered via nebulization or aerosolization. Some lipid formulations may have a tendency to aggregate when nebulization is attempted but it is generally possible to solve aggregation issues by adjusting the formulation, e.g., by substituting the cationic lipid.
Treatment of Cystic Fibrosis
Among other things, the present invention can be used for treating cystic fibrosis. In some embodiments, the present invention provides a method of treating cystic fibrosis by administering to a subject in need of treatment an mRNA encoding a CFTR protein as described herein or a pharmaceutical composition containing the mRNA. The mRNA or a pharmaceutical composition containing the mRNA may be administered directly to the lung of the subject. Various administration routes for pulmonary delivery may be used. In some embodiments, an mRNA or a composition containing an mRNA described herein is administered by inhalation, nebulization or aerosolization. In various embodiments, administration of the mRNA results in expression of CFTR in the lung of the subject (e.g., epithelial cells of the lung).
In a particular embodiment, the present invention provides a method of treating cystic fibrosis by administering to the lung of a subject in need of treatment an mRNA comprising a coding sequence which encodes SEQ ID NO:1. In certain embodiments, the present invention provides a method of treating cystic fibrosis by administering to the lung of a subject in need of treatment an mRNA comprising a coding sequence which encodes an amino acid sequence at least about 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% identical to SEQ ID NO:1. In another particular embodiment, the present invention provides a method of treating cystic fibrosis by administering to the lung of a subject in need of treatment an mRNA comprising a coding sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3. In other embodiments, the present invention provides a method of treating cystic fibrosis by administering to the lung of a subject in need of treatment an mRNA comprising a coding sequence at least 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 99% identical to SEQ ID NO: 3. Additional exemplary non-naturally occurring CFTR mRNAs that can be used for treating cystic fibrosis are described in the Brief Description of Sequences section, such as, for example, SEQ ID NOs:9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, or 17. In some embodiments, non-naturally occurring CFTR mRNAs that can be used for treating cystic fibrosis comprises a coding sequence at least about 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% identical to any of SEQ ID NO: 3, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, or 17.

CFTR Expression and Activity in HEK Cells
This example demonstrates that fully functional CFTR protein is expressed from synthetic human CFTR mRNA delivered to cells.
Cells and CFTR Transfection.
Human embryonic kidney HEK293T cells were grown in DMEM (Invitrogen Cat #11965-092) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 2 mM L-Glutamine, 100 U/ml penicillin and 100 μg/ml streptomycin. The day before transfection, cells were plated on 6-well plates at 50-60% confluence and incubated under normal tissue culture conditions (36° C. in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2, 95% air). 60 μl Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen Cat #11668019) was diluted in 900 μl OptiMem reduced serum media (Invitrogen Cat #31985-062) and gently vortexed. 24 μg CFTR mRNA (4 μg per plate) was diluted in 900 μl OptiMem media. The mRNA was immediately added to the diluted Lipofectamine and incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes. The plating media was gently aspirated from the HEK293T cells and replaced with 1 ml OptiMem Reduced Serum Medium. 300 μl of mRNA/Lipofectamine complex was added to each well and the cells allowed to rest under normal tissue culture conditions for 24 hrs before being re-plated by mechanical detachment on poly-L-Lysine coated glass cover slips (BD Biosciences, BD Biocoat) so that the cells could be easily transferred to a recording chamber for electrophysiological recording. Cells were incubated under standard tissue culture conditions for a minimum of a further 24 hours and were used within 48 hours of final plating.
Electrophysiological Recording.
Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings were conducted at room temperature using an Axopatch 200B amplifier with 5-8 MΩ electrodes. Data were digitized (50 kHz) and filtered (5 kHz) appropriately. Series resistance was compensated (70-80%) to minimize voltage errors. Voltage-clamp recordings were performed with pipette solution of the following composition: 140 mM NMDG-Cl; 5 mM EGTA; 1 mM MgCl2; 10 mM HEPES; pH 7.2; 310 mOsm/l. The bathing solution contained: 140 mM NaCl, 3 mM KCl, 2 mM MgCl2, 2 mM CaCl2, and 10 mM HEPES; pH 7.3, adjusted to 315 mOsm/l with D-glucose. Voltage clamp recordings commenced 3-5 minutes after establishing whole-cell configuration.
Cells were voltage-clamped at a holding potential of either −60 mV or 0 mV and a series of positive and negative voltage steps (either −80 mV to +80 mV or −100 to +100 mV in 20 mV increments) injected into the recorded HEK293T cells to evoke CFTR-induced whole-cell chloride (Cl—) currents. The membrane permeable analogue of cAMP, 8-Br-cAMP (500 μM, Sigma Aldrich) was applied for 4 mins to recorded cells to facilitate CFTR currents. The ‘gold-standard’ CFTR blocker, CFTRinh-172 (10 μM, Sigma) was applied at the end of each recording to block the CFTR induced Cl— current. Control recordings were performed in non-transfected HEK293T cells.
Test Compounds.
Test compounds were applied using a DAD-16VC fast perfusion system (ALA Scientific Instruments, USA) with the ejection pipette placed approximately 200 μm from the recorded cell. 8-Br-cAMP was made as a 500 mM stock concentration in ddH20. CFTRinh-172 was made as a 10 mM stock in DMSO. All compounds were stored at −20° C. and were rapidly defrosted and diluted to the desired final concentration immediately prior to use.
Analysis.
All analysis was conducted using Clampfit (MDS Analytical Technologies) and Excel (Microsoft) software. All values are maximum evoked-peak current amplitude. Statistical differences in the data were evaluated by Student's t-test, paired or un-paired as appropriate and considered significant at P<0.05.
In Vitro Human CFTR Protein Production.
The production of human CFTR protein via hCFTR mRNA was accomplished via transfection of human CFTR mRNA in HEK293T cells described herein. Treated and untreated cells were harvested and subjected to immunoprecipitation methods 24 hours post-transfection. Detection of human CFTR protein via Western blot analysis demonstrates that the fully complex glycosylated CFTR protein (designated as “C” band) was produced from the synthetic messenger RNA (FIG. 1A).
In Vitro Human CFTR Protein Activity.
To determine the activity of the synthetic human CFTR mRNA-derived CFTR protein produced after transfection, whole cell patch clamp assays were performed in both HEK 293 and HEK 293T cells. Treated cells as well as control cells (untreated and mock transfected) were subjected to activator (8-Br-cAMP, forskolin) and inhibitor (CFTRinh-172, GlyH-101) substrates to help determine changes in current flow (chloride ion transport).
HEK293T cells were transfected with 4 ug of hCFTR mRNA and analyzed 24 hours post transfection. Whole cell clamp assays were conducted to measure current flow, as represented by chloride ion transport upon application of a set voltage. A plot of current vs voltage as a result of a voltage ramp of −80 mV to +80 mV (depicted in FIG. 2) demonstrates substantial differences in current when comparing untreated versus hCFTR mRNA-treated cells. This increase in current after exposure to 8-Br-cAMP, a known activator of CFTR protein, is suggestive that human CFTR protein is present in these cells. Upon treatment of these previously transfected cells with a known specific CFTR inhibitor, CFTRinh-172, the respective current drops back down to near control levels ( ̃89% decrease). Such a decrease after exposure of this inhibitor strongly supports the presence of human CFTR protein. These results in sum demonstrate that synthetic hCFTR mRNA can produce active human CFTR protein.
Separately, CFTR whole cell activity assays were performed using an automated system (IonWorks) within HEK293 cells. As described above, treated cells as well as control cells (untreated and mock transfected) were subjected to activator and inhibitor substrates to help determine changes in current flow (chloride ion transport). In these studies, forskolin was employed as the CFTR protein activator and a portion of the hCFTR mRNA-transfected cells were further exposed to a different specific CFTR inhibitor, GlyH-101. GlyH-101 is believed to act as a CFTR pore blocker which acts upon the extracellular membrane side of the protein. Notably, this action of mechanism is different from that of CFTRinh-172, which is reported to function from the intracellular side of the CFTR protein.
FIG. 4 represents a current-voltage plot of the parental HEK293 cell line treated with forskolin as well as GlyH-101. No significant change in current was observed, suggesting that these specific CFTR activators/inhibitors have no effect on the endogenous proteins present in the cell line.
A plot of current vs. voltage as a result of a voltage ramp of −100 mV to +100 mV (depicted in FIG. 5) demonstrates substantial differences in current when comparing untreated HEK293 cells versus hCFTR mRNA-treated cells. This increase in current after exposure to forskolin a known activator of CFTR protein, is indicative that human CFTR protein is present in these cells. Upon treatment of these previously transfected cells with a different known specific CFTR inhibitor, GlyH-101, the respective current drops back down to near control levels ( ̃95% decrease). Such a decrease after exposure of this inhibitor strongly supports the presence of human CFTR protein.
In total, these inhibition data which are a result of two distinct mechanisms strongly support the identity of a fully functional CFTR protein derived from the synthetic human CFTR messenger RNA.
Example 3
In Vivo Expression of CFTR
This example demonstrates that CFTR protein is effectively expressed in vivo from a CFTR encoding mRNA delivered through pulmonary administration.
Formulation Protocol 1.
Aliquots of 50 mg/mL ethanolic solutions of C12-200, DOPE, Chol and DMG-PEG2K were mixed and diluted with ethanol to 3 mL final volume. Separately, an aqueous buffered solution (10 mM citrate/150 mM NaCl, pH 4.5) of CFTR mRNA was prepared from a 1 mg/mL stock. The lipid solution was injected rapidly into the aqueous mRNA solution and shaken to yield a final suspension in 20% ethanol. The resulting nanoparticle suspension was filtered, diafiltrated with 1×PBS (pH 7.4), followed by water, concentrated and stored at 2-8° C. Final concentration=1.09 mg/mL CFTR mRNA (encapsulated). Zave=80.2 nm (Dv(50)=55.5 nm; Dv(90)=99.6 nm).
Formulation Protocol 2.
Aliquots of a 2.0 mg/mL aqueous solution PEI (branched, 25 kDa) were mixed with aqueous solution of CFTR mRNA (1.0 mg/mL). The resulting complexed mixture was pipetted up and down several times and put aside for 20 minutes prior to injection. Final concentration=0.60 mg/mL CFTR mRNA (encapsulated). Zave=75.9 nm (Dv(50)=57.3 nm; Dv(90)=92.1 nm).
Analysis of FFL and CFTR Protein Produced Via Intratracheal Administered mRNA-Loaded Nanoparticles.
All studies were performed using either female BALB/C mice or CFTR KO mice. FFL samples were introduced via either direct instillation (MicroSprayer®) or nebulization (PART Boy or Aeroneb) respective dose of encapsulated FFL mRNA. CFTR mRNA was introduced using a PART Boy jet nebulizer. Mice were sacrificed and perfused with saline after allowing time for expression.
Intratracheal Administration of FFL mRNA.
FFL test materials were administered by a single intratracheal aerosol administration via a MicrosprayerTM (50 μL/animal) while animals are anesthetized with intraperitoneal injection of a mixture of ketamine 50-100 mg/kg and xylazine 5-15 mg/kg.
Nebulization (Aerosol) Administration of FFL mRNA.
FFL test materials were administered by a single aerosol inhalation via Aeroneb® Lab nebulizer (nominal dose volume of up to 8 mL/group). The test material was delivered to a box containing the whole group of animals (n=4) and connected to oxygen flow and scavenger system.
Administration of CFTR mRNA.
CFTR mRNA was prepared in the manner described in Example 6 below. Four CFTR knockout mice were placed in an aerosol chamber box and exposed to 2 mg total codon optimized unmodified human CFTR mRNA (comprising the coding sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3) via nebulization (Pari Boy jet nebulizer) over the course of approximately one hour. Mice were sacrificed 24 hours post-exposure.
Euthanasia.
Animals were euthanized by CO2 asphyxiation at representative times post-dose administration (±5%) followed by thoracotomy and exsanguinations. Whole blood (maximal obtainable volume) was collected via cardiac puncture and discarded.
Perfusion.
Following exsanguination, all animals underwent cardiac perfusion with saline. In brief, whole body intracardiac perfusion was performed by inserting 23/21 gauge needle attached to 10 mL syringe containing saline set into the lumen of the left ventricle for perfusion. The right atrium was incised to provide a drainage outlet for perfusate. Gentle and steady pressure was applied to the plunger to perfuse the animal after the needle had been positioned in the heart. Adequate flow of the flushing solution was ensured when the exiting perfusate flows clear (free of visible blood) indicating that the flushing solution has saturated the body and the procedure was complete.
Tissue Collection.
Following perfusion, all animals had the liver and lungs (right and left) harvested. Select groups were subjected to approximately one half of the liver and both (right and left) lungs snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored separately at nominally −70° C. Select groups were subjected to approximately half of the liver placed in one histology cassette per animal. Additionally, the lungs were inflated with 10% NBF through a cannula that was inserted into the trachea. The trachea was tied off with a ligature and the lungs (right and left) and trachea were placed intact in one histology cassette per animal. All histology cassettes were stored ambient in 10% NBF for 24 hours and transferred to 70% ethanol.
Expression of FFL in FFL-Treated Mice.
Upon analysis of the tissue samples, FFL expression was detected in FFL-treated mice (data not shown).
Expression of CFTR in CFTR Knockout Mice.
CFTR expression was detected by immunoprecipitation-Western blot analysis of CFTR mRNA-treated mouse lungs. Mature “C” band was detected in left and right lungs of all treated mice while unobserved in control mice (FIG. 1B). Antibodies used were MAB25031 (R&D Systems) for immunoprecipitation and SAB4501942 (Sigma) for detection via Western blot analysis.
The results shown here indicate that a CFTR protein can be successfully expressed in vivo based on lung delivery of mRNA. Furthermore, the fact that CFTR mRNA has been successfully delivered to the lung of CFTR knock out mice and resulted in effective protein production in the lung indicates that CFTR mRNA based in vivo protein production may be used to treat the CFTR protein deficiency.
Example 4
Lung Delivery of CFTR mRNA Using Polymeric Nanoparticles
The delivery of human CFTR messenger RNA to the lungs of a mouse can be accomplished via either direct inhalation as well as nebulization. Using in situ hybridization methods, one can successful detect human CFTR mRNA after intratracheal administration of human CFTR mRNA-loaded nanoparticles to mice. Administration may be accomplished employing lipid-based nanoparticles (eg. C12-200) as well as polymeric nanoparticles (eg. Polyethyleneimine, PEI).
Administration of CFTR mRNA Using Polymeric Nanocarriers.
CFTR KO mice were treated with polyethyleneimine (PEI)-based CFTR mRNA loaded nanoparticles via intratracheal administration (30 ug encapsulated mRNA). The treated mice were sacrificed six hours and twenty-four hours post-administration and the lungs were harvested and fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin (NBF). In situ hybridization was employed for detection of the exogenous human CFTR mRNA (FIG. 6). Substantial staining was observed 24 hours post-administration with widespread distribution in both mouse lungs of the treated CFTR KO mice while no staining was observed for PBS-treated control mice.
Analysis of the treated lungs at higher magnifications (up to 20× magnification) revealed extensive positive intracellular staining throughout the bronchial and alveolar regions of both lungs (FIG. 7). Upon further magnification (40×), positive staining within the cytoplasm of target apical bronchial epithelial cells was observed (FIG. 8). Thus, one can conclude that the messenger RNA API was successfully delivered to the target apical bronchial epithelial cells. Further, while substantial staining can be observed at 6 hours post-administration, significant positive detection of hCFTR mRNA was still observed after 24 hours (FIG. 9).
Substantial positive intracellular staining was observed throughout both lungs within bronchial and alveolar regions at 24 hours post-administration.
Example 5
Lung Delivery of CFTR mRNA Using Lipid-Based Nanoparticles
Administration of CFTR mRNA Using Lipid-Based Nanocarriers.
As mentioned above, successful lung delivery of human CFTR mRNA can be accomplished via lipid nanoparticle based delivery vehicles. Disclosed here are examples of hCFTR mRNA-loaded cationic lipid nanoparticles utilizing C12-200 as the cationic lipid component.
Successful detection of human CFTR mRNA within the lungs of CFTR KO mice was achieved via in situ hybridization. Knockout mice were treated with 15 ug of hCFTR mRNA encapsulated in C12-200-based lipid nanoparticles and sacrificed 6 hours post-administration. Positive detection of hCFTR mRNA was observed throughout the bronchial and alveolar regions of both lungs when compared to PBS-treated control mice (FIG. 10).
Upon further magnification (40×), positive detection of human CFTR mRNA was observed within the apical cytoplasm of bronchial epithelial cells and well as intracellular terminal alveolar regions (FIG. 11).
In total, successful delivery of synthetic human CFTR messenger RNA can be achieved utilizing both polymeric (PEI) and lipid nanoparticle-based (C12-200) delivery systems. These systems afforded intracellular accumulation of the drug substance within the target cells of the mice. Further, substantial amounts of hCFTR mRNA were present in these target cells 24 hours post-administration.
Example 6
Validation of Human CFTR Expression Using Specific Antibody
Antibody Validation for Human CFTR Protein Detection in Mouse, Pig, and Cultured Cells.
Experiments were performed to identify an antibody which is specific for the hCFTR protein, which does not cross-react with the mouse and swine analogue and which is available in sufficient supply for future experiments. Briefly, testing of various anti-hCFTR antibodies from academic and commercial sources led to identification of a combination of anti-hCFTR antibodies which were capable of detecting human CFTR protein after immunoprecipitation and Western blotting (IP/WB) without cross-reactivity for either murine or porcine CFTR. Thus, suitable anti-hCFTR antibodies for detection of hCFTR protein without cross-reactivity for either murine or porcine CFTR were identified based on IP/WB results.
Cells were transfected with hCFTR mRNA and protein lysates were prepared using ProteoExtract Transmembrane Kit (Merck) at 24 hrs post transfection and transmembrane fraction was screened by Western blotting for hCFTR using mouse anti-human CFTR antibody (MA1-935). Lysates from 16HBE cells were used as positive control. FIG. 12A presents the data from CHO and COS-7 cells.
Baby Hamster Kidney cells (BHK), described as CFTR-negative in the literature, were transfected similar to CHO and COS-7 cells and protein lysates screened by Western blot. In contrast to the previously published reports, a clear positive signal for CFTR could be observed using the mouse monoclonal anti-CFTR antibody (FIG. 12B). To test the specificity of antibody used in Western blot analysis, Pig Kidney Cells from CFTR-knockout pig (PKC), kindly provided by Prof. Eckhardt Wolf (Ludwig Maximilians University, Munich), were used in transfection experiments and protein lysates screened for CFTR expression. As was evident in FIG. 12B, no signal for CFTR could be detected in PKC cells. However, transfection did not result in any detectable hCFTR expression either. Using luciferase as a control for transfection, PKC cells were found to express luciferase several fold less efficient when compared to CHO or COS-7 cells. As no significant difference in the intensity of hCFTR band could be detected in any of the screened cell lines post transfection, extensive screening for other hCFTR antibodies with higher sensitivities and specificity towards hCFTR was performed.
Antibody Screening Via Western Blots.
Protein lysates were prepared from human bronchial epithelial cell line (BEAS-2B), human embryonic kidney cell line (HEK), mouse lungs and pig lungs using ProteoExtract Transmembrane Kit (Merck) and transmembrane fraction used for immunoblotting using different primary antibodies (MA1-935 from Thermo Scientific Pierce Antibodies, Rockford, Ill., USA, AB596 from the Cystic Fibrosis Consortium, University of Pennsylvania, Pa., USA, and AB570 from the Cystic Fibrosis Consortium, University of Pennsylvania, Pa., USA). The data are summarized as FIGS. 13A-13D.
Whereas MA1-935 detected CFTR in all the three species, AB596 detects human and murine CFTR but not porcine and antibody G449 detects only human CFTR specifically. With AB570, it was not clear if the slightly low molecular weight bands observed with murine and porcine samples are indeed CFTR or non-specific products. In subsequent experiments (data not shown), it was found that MA1-935 recognizes a band which is not CFTR. Therefore, in general, MA1-935 results were considered as confirming results generated using other antibodies, but experiments in which the only anti-CFTR antibody used was MA1-935 were not considered conclusive.
Immunoprecipitation of hCFTR (IP-hCFTR) from Tissue Samples.
Given that all the screened antibodies produced several non-specific bands and none of them produced the characteristic banding pattern of hCFTR (C-band representing the fully glycosylated protein and B-band representing the core mannosylated form), immunoprecipitation (IP) of hCFTR and subsequent detection by Western blot was established to increase the sensitivity and specificity of detection thereby increasing the signal to noise ratio.
Initial IP experiments were performed in collaboration with Prof. Burkhard Tümmler (Medizinsche Hochschule Hannover) using protocols and antibodies published by van Barneveld et al. 2012, Immunochemical analysis of Mutant CFTR in Lung explants, Cell Physiol. Biochem. 30, 587-595 (2012)). Human colon carcinoma cells (T84) which overexpress hCFTR were used as positive controls for IP experiments.
Immunoprecipitation of hCFTR using three different antibodies (R29, R66/17 and R66/16) followed by immunodetection with AB596 resulted in specific detection of hCFTR in protein lysates from lungs of pigs treated with an aerosol of hCFTR SNIM RNA as described in Example 8 below (FIG. 14).
HGT5001 Formulation.
Aerosol experiments using hCFTR SNIM RNA in a formulation of HGT5001:DOPE;Chol;PEGDMG2K (relative amounts 50:25:20:5 (mg:mg:mg:mg)) (“HGT5001 Formulation”) were performed in mice and protein lysates from the isolated lungs at 24 hrs post mRNA delivery were also analysed by IP using the same antibodies and conditions as for the pig lysates. However, no characteristic mature CFTR banding pattern could be detected for mouse samples (FIG. 15).
Immunoprecipitation of hCFTR (IP-hCFTR) from In Vitro-Transfected Cells.
Initial IP results using tissue material from pigs provided the evidence for the technical feasibility of hCFTR detection post transcript delivery in vivo. However, as none of the antibodies used in immunoprecipitating CFTR (R29, R66/17 and R66/16) are commercially available, other commercially available antibodies were screened for their efficacy in IP reactions. Two antibodies from R&D systems (MAB25031 and MAB1660) were tested.
Protein lysates were prepared from T84 cells and 500 μg of total protein was used in the IP reaction using different concentrations of MAB25031 antibody. The amount of hCFTR protein immunoprecipitated was then detected by immunoblotting using AB570 (Cystic Fibrosis Foundation). AB596 under these conditions resulted in much higher background and so was not tested further. As revealed in FIG. 16A, there was no further increase in the amount of CFTR protein precipitated when the concentration of IP antibody was increased from 2 μg/ml to 4 μg/ml. Both the fully glycosylated and only core glycosylated forms (C- and B-band, respectively) were detected. The same immunoprecipitates were also screened using MAB1660 as primary antibody in western blot. With this antibody however, only band-C was visible (FIG. 16B).
After the successful detection of endogenous hCFTR from T84 immunoprecipitates using MAB25031 antibody, experiments were performed in NIH3T3 cells with the aim to detect hCFTR protein post transfection. NIH3T3 cells were transfected with hCFTR SNIM RNA. Protein lysates were prepared at 72 hrs post transfection and protein amounts quantified using BCA method. Human CFTR protein was immunoprecipitated from 500 μg of total protein lysate using MAB25031 antibody at 2 μg/ml followed by immunoblotting using AB570 (FIG. 17). However, no CFTR could be detected. Cells transfected with LacZ encoding mRNA were analysed as control samples for the effect of transfection per se on amount of CFTR protein.
Increasing the amount of total protein used in immunoprecipitation from 500 μg to 8 mg did not result in any detectable hCFTR protein post immunodetection with AB570. Another hCFTR specific antibody, MAB1660 (R&D Systems), was also screened for immunoprecipitation (FIG. 18). However, this antibody does not precipitate CFTR as effectively as MAB25031. Therefore all future immunoprecipitations were performed with MAB25031.
Lack of hCFTR detection in mRNA transfected samples may not necessarily mean lack of functionality of the tested mRNAs as kinetic experiments using luciferase as marker gene have shown that maximum expression with mRNA is observed at 24 hrs post transfection. Lack of hCFTR detection is rather due to insufficient hCFTR concentration in the tested samples or lack of specificity of the applied antibodies.
PEI Formulation.
The established conditions were tested for their feasibility to detect hCFTR after hCFTR SNIM RNA in delivery to pigs (see Example 7) of a nanoparticle formulation with 25 kDa branched PEI (“PEI Formulation”) prepared as follows. The required amount of SNIM RNA was diluted just before application in water for injection (Braun, Melsungen) to a total volume of 4 ml and added quickly to 4 ml of an aqueous solution of branched PEI 25 kDa using a pipette at an N/P ratio of 10. The solution was mixed by pipetting up and down ten times and nebulized as two separate 4.0 ml fractions one after another to the pig lungs using the indicated nebulizer. One sample from the luciferase expressing lung areas from pig #1 and another from the caudal lobe of pig #2, where no luciferase activity could be detected, thus indicating lack of mRNA delivery and/or expression, were selected as positive and negative controls. Protein lysates prepared from these samples were immunoprecipitated using MAB25031 (R&D Systems) and hCFTR protein detected using AB570. As shown in FIG. 19, luciferase expression correlated with the expression of hCFTR mRNA. Sample from the left caudal lobe from pig #2 where no luciferase activity was detectable, was also negative for hCFTR (lane 1) whereas hCFTR could be detected in samples from pig #1 which were positive for luciferase (lane 2).

Aerosol Delivery of mRNA
Establishment of Encapsulated mRNA Aerosol Delivery to the Lungs of Pigs.
Aerosol administration of firefly luciferase (FFL) SNIM RNA to the pig lungs was established by a stepwise experimental procedure. In a first step FFL SNIM RNA formulations were nebulized to anaesthetized pigs during controlled ventilation. In a second step lungs were excised immediately after aerosol administration was completed and lung specimens were incubated in cell culture medium overnight before ex vivo luciferase measurement was performed on lung specimens by BLI.
Pigs of the German Landrace were obtained from Technical University Munich, Weihenstephan, Germany. The pigs had a body weight ranging from 35-90 kg. Each treatment was performed on one pig. In total five pigs were treated. The first pig (90 kg weight) was treated with FFL SNIM RNA in the PEI Formulation of Example 6 using an EFlow mesh nebulizer and measurement of luciferase activity in lung homogenates. The second pig (60 kg weight) was treated with FFL SNIM RNA in the PEI Formulation of Example 6 using an EFlow mesh nebulizer and measurement of luciferase activity in lung specimens by BLI. The third pig (80 kg weight) was treated with FFL SNIM RNA in the PEI Formulation of Example 6 using a PART BOY jet nebulizer and measurement of luciferase activity in lung specimens by BLI. The fourth pig (60 kg weight) was treated with FFL SNIM RNA/hCFTR mRNA in the PEI Formulation of Example 6 using an Aeroneb mesh nebulizer and measurement of luciferase activity in lung specimens by BLI. The fifth pig (35 kg weight) was treated with FFL SNIM RNA in the HGT5001 Formulation of Example 6 using an Aeroneb mesh nebulizer and measurement of luciferase activity in lung specimens by BLI.
Sedation in pigs was initiated by premedication with azaperone 2 mg/kg body weight, ketamine 15 mg/kg body weight, atropine 0.1 mg/kg body weight and followed by insertion of an intravenous line to the lateral auricular vein. Pigs were anesthetized by intravenous injection of propofol 3-5 mg/kg body weight as required. Anesthesia was maintained by isoflurane (2-3%) with 1% propofol bolus injection at 4 to 8 mg/kg body weight to enhance anesthesia as required. Duration of the anesthesia was approximately 1-3 hrs. Pigs were killed with bolus injection of pentobarbital (100 mg/kg body weight) and potassium chloride via the lateral ear vein. Lungs were excised and tissue specimens were collected from various lung regions followed by incubation in cell culture medium overnight. For measurement of luciferase activity tissue specimens were either homogenized and analyzed in a tube luminometer or incubated in a medium bath comprising D-Luciferin substrate and subjected to ex vivo luciferase BLI.
Details and Results for Pig #1.
The experimental set up is illustrated in FIG. 20. For aerosol administration an EFlow mesh nebulizer was connected in-line to the ventilation tubing of the respirator. Aerosol administration took approximately 60 min and was longer than expected from control experiments with an open system. This was apparently caused by increased back pressure during nebulisation as evidenced by aerosol outflow at the reservoir of the mesh nebulizer. Eight milliliters of the PEI Formulation of Example 6 comprising 1 mg FFL SNIM RNA in water for injection were prepared as described in WP5 and were nebulized in two separate 4 ml portions one after another. Luciferase measurement was performed in tissue homogenates of excised lung specimens of various lung regions after overnight incubation in cell culture medium. Expression values were mapped according to the origin of the lung specimens (FIG. 21).
The results showed successful luciferase expression in pig lung tissue. Luciferase expression was highest in central parts of the lung and declined towards more distal regions of the lung. The expression pattern correlated with the expected deposition pattern of the inhaled FFL SNIM RNA-PEI nanoparticles according to the chosen ventilation parameters. Levels of luciferase expression were in the same range as observed in mouse experiments in WP5 using the same the PEI Formulation of Example 6.
Details and Results for Pig #2.
Aerosol administration of FFL SNIM RNA in the PEI Formulation of Example 6 in pig #2 was performed as in pig #1 but luciferase activity was measured on lung specimens by bioluminescent imaging (BLI). This experiment was performed to establish ex vivo luciferase measurement of organ cultured lung specimens by BLI. Luciferase measurement was clearly observed in individual tissue specimens of different lung regions of the treated pig (FIG. 22). The experiment confirmed results obtained from pig #1.
Details and Results for Pig #3.
Aerosol administration in pig #1 and #2 using the EFlow mesh nebulizer revealed some technical difficulties and inadequate nebulisation time. Therefore, pig #3 was treated using the PART BOY jet nebulizer which was connected to the ventilation tubing via a T-connector. Aerosol administration lasted longer (approximately 80 min) than with the EFlow mesh nebulizer and aerosol administration was non-satisfying. Very low luciferase activity was detected in sliced lung samples from different lung regions of the treated pig (FIG. 23).
Details and Results for Pig #4.
The results of the previous experiments demonstrated that a mesh nebulizer is more suitable for aerosol administration to the lungs of pigs in the chosen set up than a jet nebulizer. For this reason, another mesh nebulizer was tested for this purpose which satisfactorily nebulized the PEI Formulation of Example 6 when tested in an open system. Pig #4 was treated using the Aeroneb mesh nebulizer which was connected in-line to the tubing of the respirator. In this experiment, 1 mg of hCFTR mRNA was co-delivered together with 1 mg of FFL SNIM RNA in the PEI Formulation of Example 6. This was done to test formulation stability and nebulisability of co-formulated FFL SNIM RNA/hCFTR mRNA-PEI nanoparticles with respect to repeated dosing in to be performed in Example 8. The formulation was stable and did not reveal incompatibility with nebulisation. Luciferase activity was clearly observed in individual tissue specimens of different lung regions of the treated pig (FIG. 24).
The experiment confirmed results obtained from pig #1 and pig #2, although higher expression levels were obtained. The experiment showed that the Aeroneb mesh nebulizer was best suited for delivery of the the PEI Formulation of Example 6 to the lungs of pigs. Moreover, the experiment demonstrated FFL SNIM RNA was still active when co-delivered together with hCFTR mRNA.
Details and Results for Pig #5.
Pig #5 was treated with 1 mg of FFL SNIM RNA in the HGT5001 Formulation of Example 6 aerosolized with the Aeroneb mesh nebulizer. The formulation could be aerosolized without technical difficulties. Luciferase activity was clearly observed in individual tissue specimens of different lung regions of the treated pig (FIG. 25).
The experiment showed that aerosolized FFL SNIM RNA in the HGT5001 Formulation of Example 6 is active in pig lung tissue, although expression levels were approximately 15-20-fold lower than in pigs treated with the the PEI Formulation of Example 6.
Conclusion.
Successful results were obtained using the Aeroneb mesh nebulizer with the PEI Formulation of Example 6. Four pigs were treated with the PEI Formulation of Example 6 to identify the optimal experimental setup for aerosol delivery. The results demonstrated that luciferase expression could be detected in pig lung homogenates and by BLI. Luciferase expression was highest in central parts of the lungs and hardly seen in the distal areas of the lungs. The Aeroneb mesh nebulizer was found to give the best results together with the shortest delivery time. According to these experiments another pig was treated with FFL SNIM RNA encapsulated in the HGT5001 Formulation of Example 6. Although luciferase expression was clearly observed in some parts of the pig lungs, expression levels were lower than for FFL SNIM RNA in the PEI Formulation of Example 6. The results from this work package clearly demonstrated that SNIM RNA delivery to the lungs of pigs as a large preclinical animal model was feasible using various formulations such as polymer (e.g., PEI) based Formulation and lipid (e.g, HGT5001) based formulations. The results of this example provided proof of concept for successful SNIM RNA delivery to the lungs of a large animal which closely mimics the situation in human patients by nebulizer used in clinical practice.
Example 8
In Vivo mRNA Delivery (Weekly Dose)
A trial was performed to evaluate practicability of an aerosol application once a week in pigs. Practicability was defined as performing three aerosol applications of modified mRNA in intervals of one week without induction of lung disease (absence of adverse events higher than grade 2). Additional objectives were to evaluate i) grade of distress of the animals, ii) adverse events occurring during laboratory or clinical assessment of the pigs, and iii) measurement of the induced proteins (luciferase and hCFTR).
Repeated aerosol administration of SNIM RNA in the PEI Formulation to the lungs of pigs was established. Groups of two pigs were treated one, two, or three times at weakly intervals with FFL SNIM RNA/hCFTR SNIM RNA in the PEI Formulation of Example 6. Two untreated pigs served as controls. Lungs were excised 24 hrs after treatment and ex vivo luciferase activity was measured in isolated lung specimens by BLI. Expression of hCFTR protein was analysed using IP/WB. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed for detection of luciferase expression on the cellular level. Toxicology was investigated by measurement of inflammatory cytokines in serum and blood chemistry. Histopathology was performed on lung samples. The study protocol “Pilot project: Repeated application of modified mRNA to establish an animal model for aerosol therapy of cystic fibrosis in pigs” was approved by the local authorities before the start of the experiments (Animal experiments license Nr.: 0-045-12).
Experimental Design
Pigs, German Landrace, female approximately 6 weeks old ( ̃25 kg body mass in average) at nebulisation, were purchased from Technical University Munich, Weihenstephan, Germany. Pigs were randomized and treated according to the scheme below (Table 3). Treatment groups of each two pigs were as follows:
Group 0—Control group without treatment
Group I—Aerosol administration of 1 mg FFL SNIM RNA and 1 mg hCFTR SNIM RNA in the PEI Formulation of Example 6 on day 1.
Group II—Aerosol administration of 2 mg hCFTR SNIM RNA in the PEI Formulation of Example 6 on day 1 and 1 mg FFL SNIM RNA and 1 mg hCFTR SNIM RNA in the PEI Formulation of Example 6 on day 8.
Group III—Aerosol administration of 2 mg hCFTR SNIM RNA (6379-186) in the PEI Formulation of Example 6 on day 1 and day 8, aerosol administration of 1 mg FFL SNIM RNA and 1 mg hCFTR SNIM RNA in the PEI Formulation of Example 6 on day 15.
The scheme for treatment and evaluation of each group is shown in Table 3. In addition to the illustrated interventions, physical examination of the pigs was done on a daily basis.

Experimental Procedure
Sedation in pigs was initiated by premedication with azaperone 2 mg/kg body weight, ketamine 15 mg/kg body weight, atropine 0.1 mg/kg body weight and followed by insertion of an intravenous line to the lateral auricular vein. Pigs were anesthetized by intravenous injection of propofol 3-5 mg/kg body weight as required. Anesthesia was maintained with continuous intravenous infusion of 1% propofol as required. Ventilation parameters were matched with end expiratory carbon dioxide and adjusted if necessary. Anesthesia, respiratory and cardiovascular parameters were monitored continuously using pulse oximetry, capnography, rectal temperature probe and reflex status. Animals received infusion of balanced electrolyte solution at 10 ml/kg/h. Duration of the anesthesia was approximately 80-120 min. Pigs were extubated after onset of sufficient spontaneous breathing. Pigs were killed with bolus injection of pentobarbital 100 mg/kg of body weight via the lateral ear vein after sedation. Lungs were excised and sliced approximately 1 cm thick tissue specimens were collected from various lung regions followed by incubation in cell culture. For measurement of luciferase activity tissue specimens were incubated in a medium bath comprising D-Luciferin substrate and subjected to ex vivo luciferase BLI.
Luciferase Expression in Treatment Groups by BLI.
For Group 0 (Control group without treatment), no luciferase activity was observed in lung slices (FIG. 26).
For Group I (Aerosol administration of 1 mg FFL SNIM RNA and 1 mg hCFTR SNIM RNA in the PEI Formulation of Example 6), Luciferase activity was clearly detected in lung specimens of one time treated pigs #3 and #6 (FIG. 27). Luciferase expression was highest in central parts of the lungs.
For Group II (Aerosol administration of 2 mg hCFTR SNIM RNA in the PEI Formulation of Example 6 on day 1 and 1 mg FFL SNIM RNA and 1 mg hCFTR SNIM RNA in the PEI Formulation of Example 6 on day 8), Luciferase activity was clearly detected in lung specimens of twice-treated pigs #4 and #8 (FIG. 28). Luciferase expression was highest in central parts of the lungs. It has to be considered that samples were stored for additional 10 hours in cell culture medium before measurement because of a power blackout on the day of the measurements and resulting technical problems with the BLI system.
For Group III (Aerosol administration of 2 mg hCFTR SNIM RNA in the PEI Formulation of Example 6 on day 1 and day 8, aerosol administration of 1 mg FFL SNIM RNA and 1 mg hCFTR SNIM RNA in the PEI Formulation of Example 6 on day 15), Luciferase activity was clearly detected in lung specimens of thrice-treated pigs #1 and #2 (FIG. 29). Luciferase expression was highest in central parts of the lungs.
Properties of SNIM RNA-PEI Nanoparticles.
Particle size and zeta potential was measured for SNIM RNA-PEI formulations before nebulisation (Table X1). The SNIM RNA-PEI nanoparticles could be reproducibly formed with a size ranging from 25-37 nm and zeta potentials ranging from 30-49 mV.

Luciferase Expression in Treatment Groups by IHC.
IHC for FFL was performed on tissue specimens of lung slices (Sophistolab AG, Eglisau, Switzerland) which were positive by BLI and compared with lung tissue of an untreated pig and luciferase-positive mouse tumor tissue as positive control. As expected a strong signal was seen in the luciferase-positive mouse tumor tissue, whereas lung tissue of the untreated pig did not show specific staining. A clearly detectable staining pattern could be observed in the lung tissue of pig #1 which received three treatments. FFL expression was most prominent in the bronchial epithelium of large and small airways (FIG. 30).
Detection of hCFTR Protein in Lung Tissue of Treated Pig by IP/WB.
Highly BLI-positive lung tissue of three times treated pig #1 was subjected to hCFTR IP/WB according to the protocol described by van Barneveld A et al., Cell Physiol Biochem. 30, 587-95 (2012) (FIG. 31). Mature complex-glycosylated hCFTR appears as the disperse so-called C-band. Mannose-rich hCFTR appears as the more dense so-called B-band. Clearly hCFTR expression is observed in T84 positive control cells and lung tissue of pig #1 treated with hCFTR SNIM RNA in the PEI Formulation of Example 6. Expression of hCFTR protein was not observed in untreated pigs. A comparison of hCFTR protein expression in human lung tissue from a published study using the identical protocol (van Barneveld A et al., supra) suggested that expression of hCFTR in pig lung tissue after hCFTR SNIM aerosol treatment was similar to hCFTR expression in healthy human lung.
This finding was further confirmed by using a different set of antibodies for detection of hCFTR protein by IP/WB in treated pig lung (see Example 6). One sample from the luciferase expressing lung areas from pig #1 and another from the caudal lobe of pig #2, where no luciferase activity could be detected, thus indicating lack of mRNA delivery and/or expression were selected as positive and negative controls. Protein lysates prepared from these samples were immunoprecipitated using MAB25031 (R&D Systems) and hCFTR protein detected using AB570. As shown in FIG. 32, luciferase expression correlated with the expression of hCFTR mRNA. Sample from the left caudal lobe from pig #2 where no luciferase activity was detectable, was also negative for hCFTR (lane 1), whereas hCFTR could be detected in samples from pig #1 which were positive for luciferase (lane 2).
Toxicology: Preliminary Histological Assessment of Lung Samples.
A histological assessment of samples of the lungs taken after the euthanasia of three animals was performed. After embedding in paraffin sections lung samples were stained with Hematoxiline-Eosine for morphological evaluation. The findings were consistent across the samples from the three pigs, two of which (pig #1 and pig #2) received three aerosol applications and the third (pig #7) was an untreated control with no aerosol application.
Toxicology: Distress.
Only pig #2 and pig #1 showed mild signs of distress on day 2-4 after the first treatment. Thus, three aerosol applications within three weeks caused only mild distress
Toxicology: Adverse Events.
Kind and frequency of adverse events (AE) were analyzed by laboratory parameters (blood, MBS and BAL) and by physical examination of the pigs (defined as a secondary objective in this trial).
Serum and whole blood samples were taken at the time points defined by the study protocol. Twelve representative parameters (haemoglobin, hematocrit, AP, ALT, AST, CK, bilirubin, creatinine, glucose, potassium, thrombocytes, and white blood cells) being indicative to show organ specific pathology (blood, bone marrow, liver, muscle, and kidney) were selected and the test results obtained from the VetMedLab, Ludwigsburg, Germany classified according to VCOG, version 2011.
The results showed that no severe adverse events (AE) were observed in the pigs (an AE of grade 3, 4, or 5 would have qualified as severe). There was no impairment of laboratory parameters after aerosol application of SNIM RNA in the PEI Formulation of Example 6. For the slight changes in some parameters (e.g. CK or liver enzymes) it is more likely that these changes were caused by the experimental procedure per se (e.g. i.m. injections and anaesthesia). Also no negative effect from repeated application could be detected—even after the third application, the pigs of group 3 show no AE higher than AE grade 2. Even AE grade 1 or 2 were rare and showed no correlation to the aerosol application of SNIM RNA in the PEI Formulation of Example 6.
Besides the repeated blood samples two other parameters were assessed to evaluate pathological processes in the lung: i) Brocho-Alveolar-Lavage fluid (BALF)—taken after euthanasia, and ii) microbiology samples (MBS) (smear form the trachea—taken during the anaesthesia). BALF was taken from each pig during autopsy and was stored at −80° C. for further examination. Tracheal smears were taken prior to each aerosol application and microbiologically examined. These examinations revealed a broad spectrum of pathogens including Bordetella bronchiospectica (a common pathogen of the respiratory tract of the pig) and Escherichia coli. Pigs were once treated with tulathromycin i.m.-injection (1 ml Draxxin® 10%).
Physical Examination.
In addition to the laboratory parameters, physical examinations of the pigs were performed in the observation periods between the aerosol applications (for details see 1.1.2 of annex 1 and annex 4 of the study protocol). As no system for documenting, grading and assigning the attribution of the AE, either to the intervention or something else is defined for pigs, the common toxicology criteria (CTC)-system established for dogs and cats was used (published by VOCG in 2011). To grade the laboratory parameters, species specific ULN (upper limits of normal) and LLN (lower limits of normal) were used. Clinical assessments were made within the following six AE categories:

    
    
        (1) allergic/immunologic events; (2) pulmonary/respiratory; (3) constitutional clinical signs; (4) dermatologic/skin; (5) gastrointestinal; and (6) pulmonary/respiratory.
    
    


The results showed that no severe AE (no grade 3, 4, or 5) were observed in the pigs. There was no impairment of parameters assessed by physical examination after the aerosol application of SNIM RNA in the PEI Formulation. The two pigs of group 3 showed grade 1 and 2 AE in three of the respiratory parameters (bronchospasm/wheezing, larynx oedema, and dyspnoea) but these mild or moderate findings were restricted to one or two days. As these observations only occurred after the first anaesthesia/intubation/aerosol application in these two pigs but not after the second or third aerosol application in these two pigs or in any other pig, it is unlikely that these findings are caused by the substance under investigation.
Conclusion.
The results of this example demonstrated that the PEI Formulation encoding FFL and hCFTR SNIM RNA could be successfully aerosolized repeatedly to the lungs of pigs without loss of activity after each treatment cycle and without adverse events. Luciferase expression was found in central parts of the lung tissue but hardly detected in distal lung areas. The regional pattern of luciferase expression correlated with the expected deposition pattern of the the PEI Formulation of Example 6 according to settings used for controlled ventilation. Immunohistochemistry on selected lung samples form treated pigs showed luciferase expression predominantly in the bronchial epithelium of large and small airways. IP/WB clearly demonstrated expression of complex-glycosylated C-band of mature human CFTR in treated pig lung which was absent in untreated pig lung and luciferase-negative lung specimens. Expression of hCFTR in pig lung tissue after hCFTR SNIM RNA aerosol treatment was comparable to the hCFTR expression in healthy human lung when compared to published reports using the identical protocol for hCFTR protein detection. Adverse events grade 1 or 2 were very rare and showed no correlation to the aerosol application of SNIM RNA in the PEI Formulation. Thus, expression of hCFTR protein was successfully demonstrated in lungs of pigs treated with SNIM hCFTR mRNA.
Example 9
CFTR Encoding mRNA Containing Signal Peptide
This example demonstrates that a CFTR protein may be effectively expressed from a CFTR encoding mRNA with a signal peptide encoding sequence.
Messenger RNA Synthesis.
For the experiment, C-terminal His10 tagged codon optimized human cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CO-CFTR-C-His10)(SEQ ID NO:15), a codon optimized human CFTR with a growth hormone signal sequence leader (GH-CO-CFTR)(SEQ ID NO:16) and codon optimized human CFTR (CO-CFTR)(SEQ ID NO:17) SNIM RNA were synthesized by in vitro transcription from a plasmid DNA template using standard methods. Cells and CFTR transfection. Human embryonic kidney HEK293T cells were grown in DMEM (Invitrogen Cat #11965-092) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 2 mM L-Glutamine, 100 U/ml penicillin and 100 μg/ml streptomycin. The day before transfection, cells were plated on 6-well plates at 50-60% confluence and incubated under normal tissue culture conditions (36° C. in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2, 95% air). In preparation for transfection, 60 μl Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen Cat #11668019) was diluted in OptiMem reduced serum media (Invitrogen Cat #31985-062) and gently vortexed. For the experiment 4 μg of either CO-CFTR, GH-CO-CFTR or CO-CFTR-C-His10 SNIM RNA was diluted in 900 μl OptiMem media. The mRNA was immediately added to the diluted Lipofectamine® and incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes. The plating media was gently aspirated and replaced with 1 ml OptiMem Reduced Serum Medium and 300 μl of each respective mRNA/Lipofectamine® complex. Cells were incubated under standard tissue culture conditions.
Western Analysis.
Approximately 48 post transfection, cells were removed from their respective plates and lysed. Whole cell lysate was subjected to separation by SDS-PAGE and probed by Western blot. As shown in FIGS. 33A-33C, robust expression of human CFTR protein was detected following CO-CFTR, GH-CO-CFTR and human CO-CFTR-C-His10 mRNA transfection, by anti-CFTR (33A & 33B) or anti-His (33C) antibodies (FIGS. 33A-33C).

In Vivo CO-CFTR-C-his10 mRNA Delivery to CFTR Knockout Mice
Analysis of Human CFTR Protein Produced Via Intratracheal Administered mRNA-Loaded Nanoparticles.
All studies were performed using CFTR KO mice. CFTR mRNA formulation or vehicle control was introduced using a PARI Boy jet nebulizer. Mice were sacrificed and perfused with saline, after a predetermined period of time, to allow for protein expression from the mRNA.
Messenger RNA Synthesis.
In the example, C-terminal His10 tagged codon optimized human cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CO-CFTR-C-His10) SNIM RNA and codon-optimized FFL SNIM RNA were synthesized by in vitro transcription from plasmid DNA templates.
PEI Formulation.
For the approach, delivery and expression of CO-CFTR-C-His10 mRNA in the lungs of CFTR knockout mice was evaluated using both polymeric and lipid-based nanoparticle formulations. Polymeric nanoparticle formulations with 25 kDa branched PEI prepared as follows. The required amount of SNIM RNA was diluted just before application in water for injection (Braun, Melsungen) to a total volume of 4 ml and added quickly to 4 ml of an aqueous solution of branched PEI 25 kDa using a pipette at an N/P ratio of 10. The solution was mixed by pipetting up and down ten times and nebulized as two separate 4.0 ml fractions one after another to the mouse lungs using the indicated nebulizer.
cKK-E12 Formulation.
For the lipid-based nanoparticle experiment, a lipid formulation was created using CO-CFTR-C-His10 SNIM RNA in a formulation of cKK-E12:DOPE:Chol:PEGDMG2K (relative amounts 50:25:20:5 (mg:mg:mg:mg). The solution was nebulized to the mouse lungs using the indicated nebulizer.
Nebulization (Aerosol) Administration of Human CO-CFTR-C-his10 mRNA.
CFTR test materials were administered by a single aerosol inhalation via PART Boy jet nebulizer (nominal dose volume of up to 8 mL/group). The test material was delivered to a box containing the whole group of animals (n=4) and connected to oxygen flow and scavenger system.
Administration of Human CO-CFTR-C-his10 mRNA.
CFTR mRNA was prepared in the manner described above. Four CFTR knockout mice were placed in an aerosol chamber box and exposed to 2 mg total codon optimized unmodified human CFTR mRNA (comprising the coding sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3) via nebulization (Pari Boy jet nebulizer) over the course of approximately one hour. Mice were sacrificed 24 hours post-exposure.
Euthanasia.
Animals were euthanized by CO2 asphyxiation at representative times post-dose administration (±5%) followed by thoracotomy and exsanguinations. Whole blood (maximal obtainable volume) was collected via cardiac puncture and discarded.
Perfusion.
Following exsanguination, all animals underwent cardiac perfusion with saline. In brief, whole body intracardiac perfusion was performed by inserting 23/21 gauge needle attached to 10 mL syringe containing saline set into the lumen of the left ventricle for perfusion. The right atrium was incised to provide a drainage outlet for perfusate. Gentle and steady pressure was applied to the plunger to perfuse the animal after the needle had been positioned in the heart. Adequate flow of the flushing solution was ensured when the exiting perfusate flows clear (free of visible blood) indicating that the flushing solution has saturated the body and the procedure was complete.
Tissue Collection.
Following perfusion, all animals had their lungs (right and left) harvested. Both (right and left) lungs were snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored separately at nominally −70° C.
Expression of Human CFTR from CO-CFTR-C-his10 mRNA in CFTR Knockout Mice.
CFTR expression was detected by Western blot analysis of tissue lysate collected from CFTR mRNA-treated mouse lungs. Mature “C” band was detected in left and right lungs of all treated mice, for both the lipid-based and polymeric-based formulations (FIG. 34). Expression of the mature “C” band was verified by comparison with lysate collected from HEK 293T human CO-CFTR-C-His10 positive cells as described in Example 9. In contrast, no detectable signal was observed in lysate collected from wild type untreated control mice (FIG. 34). Taken together, these data suggest that both polymeric and lipid based formulations (such as the cKK-E12 formulation listed above) are effective for lung delivery of CFTR mRNA, e.g., via inhalation, and that once delivered, the codon optimized CFTR mRNA can effectively express human CFTR protein.
Example 11
In Vivo Dose Escalation Study
Dose Escalation of PEI Encapsulated mRNA Aerosol Delivery to the Lungs of Pigs.
Aerosol administration of a combination of firefly luciferase (FFL) SNIM RNA and codon optimized human CFTR (CO-CFTR) SNIM RNA at varying concentrations to pig lungs was established by a stepwise experimental procedure. In a first step the FFL/CO-CFTR SNIM RNA formulation was nebulized to anaesthetized pigs during controlled ventilation. In a second step, the animals were sacrificed by bolus injection of pentobarbital (100 mg/kg of body weight) and potassium chloride via the lateral ear vein after sedation 24 hours after aerosol administration was completed. Lungs were excised and sliced to approximately 1 cm thick tissue specimens. For measurement of luciferase activity, tissue specimens were incubated in a medium bath comprising D-Luciferin substrate and subjected to ex vivo luciferase BLI. After BLI, samples from luciferase-positive and luciferase-negative regions were taken for histopathology, immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization. The residual specimens were shock-frozen in liquid nitrogen and subsequently stored at −80° C. until analysis by IP/WB and Elisa.
Messenger RNA Synthesis.
In the example, codon optimized human cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CO-CFTR) SNIM RNA, codon-optimized FFL mRNA SNIM RNA were synthesized by in vitro transcription from plasmid DNA templates using standard methods.
Experimental Design
Pigs of the German Landrace were obtained from Technical University Munich, Weihenstephan, Germany. The pigs had a body weight ranging from 35-90 kg. The study was designed using both age and weight-matched pigs to control for variability. A single cohort of 6 pigs (3 male and 3 female) was established for each experimental group of the 4-arm study. The first cohort was treated with water for injection (WFI) alone, which was administered using a Aeroneb mesh nebulizer. The second cohort was treated with a solution of 1 mg FFL SNIM RNA and 1 mg of codon optimized human CFTR (CO-CFTR) SNIM RNA in the PEI Formulation described below, using an Aeroneb mesh nebulizer. The third cohort received 1 mg of FFL SNIM RNA and 5 mg of codon optimized human CFTR (CO-CFTR) SNIM RNA in the PEI Formulation described below. The fourth cohort was treated with 1 mg of FFL SNIM RNA and 10 mg of codon optimized human CFTR (CO-CFTR) SNIM RNA in the PEI Formulation described below. The scheme for treatment and evaluation of each group is shown in Table 4 below.

Exemplary method for the preparation of polyplexes containing 1 mg hCFTR SNIM RNA and 1 mg FFL SNIM RNA N/P 10 in a volume of 8 mL: 3 mL water for injection and 3 mL RNA stock solution (c: 1 mg/mL in water; 1.5 mL FFL mRNA+1.5 mL CFTR mRNA) were filled into a 15 mL falcon tube. In a second falcon tube 5.61 mL water for injection were mixed with 0.39 mL brPEI stock solution (c: 10 mg/mL in water). Two 20 mL syringes were fixed in the mixing device. Each of them was connected to a needle via a tubing. One syringe was filled with the RNA- and the other with the PEI-solution using the withdrawal function of the syringe pump. (Settings: Diameter: 20.1 mm, Flow: 5 mL/min, Volume: 5.9 mL). The needles were removed and the tubes connected to the mixing valve. It was important to connect the syringe containing the RNA-solution to the angled position of the valve. To control the outlet diameter, a needle was connected. The mixing was performed using the infusion function of the syringe pump (Settings: Diameter: 20.1 mm, Flow: 40 mL/min, Volume: 5.8 mL). To achieve a reproducible polydispersity index, the samples were fractionated manually during mixing. The first few μL until the flow was stable (100-200 μL) and the last few μL sometimes containing air bubbles were collected in a separate tube. The mixture was incubated for 30 min at room temperature for polyplex formation and afterwards stored on ice. For different doses, the parameters were modified and adapted as shown in Table 5.

Transfection of HEK Cells to Check the Functionality of the Nebulized Complexes.
Post nebulization, an aliquot of complexes (80 μl) was used to transfect HEK cells. One day prior to transfection, 1×106 cells were plated in 6 well plates. At the day of transfection, medium was removed from the cells, cells were washed with PBS once following which 80 μl of complexes together with 920 μl of serum free MEM medium was added per well. For each complex, three replicate wells were prepared. The cells were incubated with the complexes for 4 hours under standard cell culture conditions. At the end of incubation, complex containing medium was removed and serum containing MEM medium (1 ml) was added per well. Plates were incubated under standard cell culture conditions. At 24 hours post transfection, protein lysates were prepared using the same protocol and buffers used for animal tissues with exclusion of homogenization step. Cells from three wells were pooled for analysis. Expression of human CFTR was detected using immunoprecipitation with R24.1 antibody (R&D Systems) and Western Blot with a combination of 217, 432 and 596 antibodies (all from Cystic Fibrosis Consortium, University of Pennsylvania, Pa., USA). hCFTR could be detected for all of complexes nebulized in pigs (see FIGS. 54-57).
Aerosol Application.
The aerosol (WFI alone 44 ml; modified mRNA PEI formulation in WFI: 8, 24 and 44 ml) was nebulized and inhaled into the anaesthetized pig via an Aeroneb® mesh nebulizer. Sedation in pigs was initiated by premedication with azaperone 2 mg/kg body weight, ketamine 15 mg/kg body weight, atropine 0.1 mg/kg body weight and followed by insertion of an intravenous line to the lateral auricular vein. Pigs were anesthetized by intravenous injection of propofol 3-5 mg/kg body weight as required. Anesthesia was maintained by isoflurane (2-3%) with 1% propofol bolus injection at 4 to 8 mg/kg body weight to enhance anesthesia as required. Duration of the anesthesia was approximately 1-3 hrs. Pigs were sacrificed with bolus injection of pentobarbital (100 mg/kg body weight) and potassium chloride via the lateral ear vein 24 hours after completion of aerosolization. Lungs were excised and tissue specimens were collected from various lung regions. The stored samples were subjected to different assessment methods such as bioluminescence, histopathology, IP/Western Blot and Elisa.
Bioluminescence Analysis.
For measurement of luciferase activity tissue specimens were either homogenized and analyzed in a tube luminometer or incubated in a medium bath comprising D-Luciferin substrate and subjected to ex vivo luciferase BLI. The data illustrates that a strong bioluminescence signal was observed for each of cohorts 2-4 (1 mg, 5, mg and 10 mgs respectively), when compared to control lung tissue samples from cohort 1 (WFI vehicle control) (FIGS. 35-38).
CFTR Expression Analysis by Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry.
FFL positive tissues samples were excised (minimum of 10 samples for each pig within a cohort) and analyzed by immuneprecipitation/Western blot (IP-WB) and immunohistochemistry for human CFTR. Briefly, protein lysates were prepared from pig lungs as follows: Between 300-400 mg of lung tissue was used for analysis. The tissue was homogenized in basis buffer (20 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, pH 8.0) containing protease inhibitors using LysingMatrixA (MPBiomedicals, Ref:6910-500) and Homogeniser “FastPrep24” (MP Biomedicals). The whole tissue mix was transferred to a new 2 ml safe lock pre-cooled Eppendorf tube and 25 μl iodoacetamide (Sigma: 16125) and 1 μl Omni cleave (1:5 diluted in Omni cleave buffer) (Epicenter: 007810K) was added. The samples were then incubated on ice for 5 minutes, followined by addition of 26 μl of 10% SDS solution. Samples were further incubated at 4° C. for 60 min on a shaker. Post incubation, 260 μl of lysis buffer (850 μl basis buffer+10% TritonX-100+5% Sodium deoxcholate) was added to the samples and they were incubated at 4° C. on a shaker for 90 minutes. Finally, protein lysates were centrifuged at 13,000 rpm at 4° C. for 10-20 min and the supernatant was transferred into a new Eppendorf tube. Protein concentration was quantified using the BCA Protein Assay (Pierce). Samples were aliquoted containing 10 mg of total protein and end volumes were adjusted with basis buffer to 1 ml per sample. Based on the data presented in Example 6, immunoprecipitation of CFTR was carried out using antibody R24.1 and was followed by Western blot immunodetection of CFTR using a triple combination of three different antibodies obtained from Cystic Fibrosis Consortium, University of Pennsylvania, Pa., USA (antibodies 217, 432, 596). To control for intra-group variability among different animals and variability in CFTR expression, the markers band in protein size standard corresponding to 150 kDa was set as reference and the band instensities of different groups were normalized to this value. As demonstrated in FIG. 39, only 16% of the tissues sample analysed form the control pigs of cohort 1 resulted in a CFTR expression level greater than baseline. In contrast, cohorts 3 and 4, which represent the 5 mg and 10 mg treatment groups respectively, each resulted in greater than 30% of their lung tissue samples testing positive for a CFTR expression level higher than baseline (FIG. 39). Furthermore, the increase in CFTR expression observed within cohorts 3 and 4, was almost two fold greater than that of control.
Analysis of CFTR immunohistochemistry was performed by quantification of CFTR-positive bronchi and bronchioles. A bronchus/bronchiole was regarded as positive if at least one epithelial cell was detected within the epithelial cell layer displaying a clear membrane-localized CFTR signal. A representative image of a “positive” sample is depicted in FIG. 40. Conditions for CFTR immunohistochemistry were optimized by assessing specificity of available antibodies against CFTR utilizing single antibody or combinations of up to three antibodies respectively. Clear CFTR-specific signals were observed after incubation of antibody 596. The data demonstrates, that CFTR-positive epithelial cells were detected in lung tissue sections of all four cohorts, demonstrating detection of human and porcine CFTR by the immunohistochemistry procedure (FIGS. 41 and 45). While low (FIG. 42), medium (FIG. 43) and high (FIG. 44) CFTR expression levels were observed for cohort 3, the overall finding demonstrates that the 5 mg treatment of codon optimized human CFTR SNIM RNA resulted in a greater number of CFTR positive cells and overall CFTR signal intensity compared to vehicle control. The data also illustrates a yet further enhancement of CFTR expression following 10 mg treatment, thus demonstrating a clear dose response effect (FIG. 45). Quantification of absolute and relative numbers of CFTR-positive bronchi/bronchioles further support these findings, revealing a significant higher numbers in animals which were treated with 5 or 10 mg of human CFTR SNIM RNA compared to vehicle control (FIG. 46). Indicating an overall elevation in CFTR expression levels following treatment with human CFTR SNIM RNA.
CFTR Expression Analysis by In Situ Hybridization (ISH).
FFL positive tissues samples were excised (minimum of 10 samples for each pig within a cohort) and subjected to manual in situ hybridization analysis using the RNAscope® (Advanced Cell Diagnostic) “ZZ” probe technology. Probes were generated based on the codon-optimized sequence of codon optimized human CFTR SNIM RNA (SEQ ID NO:17). Briefly, the RNAscope® assay is an in situ hybridication assay designed to visualize single RNA molecules per cell in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue mounted on slides. Each embedded tissue sample was pretreated according to the manufacturers protocol and incubated with a target specific human CFTR specific RNA probe. The hCFTR probe was shown bind CFTR, with cross reactivity to human, mouse, rat, pig and monkey. Once bound, the probe is hybridized to a cascade of signal amplification molecules, through a series of 6 consecutive rounds of amplification. The sample was then treated with an HRP-labeled probe specific to the signal amplification cassette and assayed by chromatic visualization using 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (DAB). A probe specific for Ubiquitin C was used as the positive control (FIGS. 47A and 48A), while dapB was used as the negative control (FIGS. 47B and 48B). Positive CFTR signal was compared to that of untreated and vehicle control treated porcine lung tissue (FIGS. 49A and 49B). Stained samples were visualized under a standard bright field microscope. The data demonstrates that treatment with 1 mg of codon optimized human CFTR SNIM RNA resulted in a dramatic increase in CFTR expression in both the right (A) and left (B) lung tissue of corhort 2, when compared to vehicle control (FIGS. 49A-49B and 50A & 50B) Furthermore, a further increase in CFTR expression was observed for the 5 mg and 10 mg treatment groups, as demonstrated by a dramatic increase staining observed within the right (A) and left (B) lung samples analyzed for cohorts 3 and 4 (FIGS. 51A-51B and 52A & 52B). Taken together, these data strongly supports the effective delivery of mRNA via inhalation and expression of human CFTR within both lobes of the lung and their various tissues.
Conclusion.
The results demonstrated that both luciferase and CFTR mRNA can be effectively delivered in vivo to lung tissues. Luciferase expression was observed throughout various tissue samples collected from different regions within both the right and left lobs of the lungs. Thus suggestions, that nebulization is an effective approach for administering mRNA and results in fairly uniform distribution. Furthermore, in addition to luciferase, CFTR mRNA was also efficiently delivered to the lungs, resulting in enhanced protein expression. Expression and protein activity was verified by IP-WB, immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization. Each approach clearly demonstrated a dose dependent increase in mRNA delivery and CFTR expression and/or activity, within the tissues of the lung. Taken together, the experiments highlight the overall practicality and feasibility for delivering CFTR mRNA to the lung of a human subject and demonstrate the effectiveness of in vivo CFTR protein production for therapeutic use.
Example 12
In Vivo Expression in the Lung
This example demonstrates successful in vivo expression in the lung following aerosol delivery of mRNA-loaded nanoparticles. All studies were performed using pigs of the German Landrace, obtained from Technical University Munich, Weihenstephan, Germany. The pigs had a body weight ranging from 35-90 kg. FFL/CO-CFTR-C-His10 mRNA formulation or vehicle control was introduced using a Pari jet nebulizer. Pigs were sacrificed and perfused with saline, after a predetermined period of time, to allow for protein expression from the mRNA.
Messenger RNA Synthesis.
In the example, codon optimized fire fly luciferase (CO-FFL) mRNA was synthesized by in vitro transcription from plasmid DNA templates.
cKK-E12 Formulation.
For the lipid-based nanoparticle experiment, a lipid formulation was created using 1 mg FFL+9 mg of CO-CFTR-C-His10 mRNA encapsulated in a formulation of cKK-E12:DOPE:Chol:PEGDMG2K (relative amounts 40:30:25:5 (mol ratio). The solution was nebulized to the Pig lungs using the indicated nebulizer.
Aerosol Application.
The aerosol (Saline or CO-FFL cKK-E12 formulation) was nebulized and inhaled into the anaesthetized pig. Sedation in pigs was initiated by premedication with azaperone 2 mg/kg body weight, ketamine 15 mg/kg body weight, atropine 0.1 mg/kg body weight and followed by insertion of an intravenous line to the lateral auricular vein. Pigs were anesthetized by intravenous injection of propofol 3-5 mg/kg body weight as required. Anesthesia was maintained by isoflurane (2-3%) with 1% propofol bolus injection at 4 to 8 mg/kg body weight to enhance anesthesia as required. Duration of the anesthesia was approximately 1-3 hrs. Pigs were killed with bolus injection of pentobarbital (100 mg/kg body weight) and potassium chloride via the lateral ear vein. Lungs were excised and tissue specimens were collected from various lung regions followed by incubation in cell culture medium overnight. The stored samples were subjected to bioluminescence detection.
Bioluminescence Analysis.
For measurement of luciferase activity tissue specimens were either homogenized and analyzed in a tube luminometer or incubated in a medium bath comprising D-Luciferin substrate and subjected to ex vivo luciferase BLI. A strong bioluminescence signal was observed for each of the (A) FFL/CO-CFTR-C-His10 mRNA treated pigs, when compared to (B) control lung tissue samples from control pigs (Saline vehicle control) (FIGS. 53 A&B).
These data illustrate that FFL/CFTR mRNA were successfully delivered to and expressed in the lung by aerosol administration.
