Lipid nanoparticles deliver DNA-encoded biologics and induce potent protective immunity

ABSTRACT: Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for mRNA delivery have advanced significantly, but LNP-mediated DNA delivery still faces clinical challenges. This study compared various LNP formulations for delivering DNA-encoded biologics, assessing their expression efficacy and the protective immunity generated by LNP-encapsulated DNA in different models. The LNP formulation used in Moderna’s Spikevax mRNA vaccine (LNP-M) demonstrated a stable nanoparticle structure, high expression efficiency, and low toxicity. Notably, a DNA vaccine encoding the spike protein, delivered via LNP-M, induced stronger antigen-specific antibody and T cell immune responses compared to electroporation. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis revealed that the LNP-M/pSpike vaccine enhanced CD80 activation signaling in CD8+ T cells, NK cells, macrophages, and DCs, while reducing the immunosuppressive signals. The enrichment of TCR and BCR by LNP-M/pSpike suggested an increase in immune response specificity and diversity. Additionally, LNP-M effectively delivered DNA-encoded antigens, such as mouse PD-L1 and p53R172H, or monoclonal antibodies targeting mouse PD-1 and human p53R282W. This approach inhibited tumor growth or metastasis in several mouse models. The long-term anti-tumor effects of LNP-M-delivered anti-p53R282W antibody relied on memory CD8+ T cell responses and enhanced MHC-I signaling from APCs to CD8+ T cells. These results highlight LNP-M as a promising and effective platform for delivering DNA-based vaccines and cancer immunotherapies.

Transcriptome atlas of injection site response reveals initial mechanisms of mRNA vaccine immunity

Project description:Precise immunological mechanisms of mRNA vaccines have still not been fully elucidated, especially the initial immune responses at the injection site. Here, by constructing a single-cell atlas of injection site responses of mRNA vaccine, we show that stromal inflammatory responses and type I interferon responses dominate initial transcriptional reactions elicited by mRNA vaccines at the injection site. Tracking down the fates of the delivered mRNA revealed that injection site fibroblasts are highly enriched with the delivered mRNA, and they express IFN-β specifically in response to the mRNA component, not to the LNP. Accordingly, migratory dendritic cells highly expressing interferon stimulated genes (mDC_ISG) were found specifically in muscle and draining lymph nodes of mRNA vaccine injected mice, compared to the empty LNP injected mice. Co-administration of IFN-β and LNP robustly induced mDC_ISGs at the injection site and substantially enhanced antigen-specific CD8 T cell responses. Collectively, these data elucidate earliest mechanisms of the mRNA vaccine and highlight the underappreciated immunogenic role of the mRNA component in the mRNA vaccine.

Remodeling of anti-tumor immunity with antibodies targeting a p53 mutant

Project description:p53 is the most mutated gene in cancer, yet there are no effective drugs targeting p53 mutants. Here, we report the development of monoclonal antibodies targeting a p53 hotspot mutation E285K (E285K-mAbs). These mAbs recognize the mutant E285K epitope without cross-reactivity against wild-type p53. They are delivered by lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) that encapsulate DNA plasmids. The LNP-pE285K-mAbs in the IgG1 formats exhibit a robust anti-tumor effect, facilitating the infiltration of immune cells, including CD8+ T cells, B cells, and NK cells. Single-cell sequencing reveals that the therapeutic effects of IgG1 are associated with reduced immune inhibitory signaling, increased MHC signaling from B cells to CD8+ T cells, and enriched anti-tumor T cell and B cell receptor profiles. The E285K-mAbs can also be made in the dimeric IgA (dIgA) format. The anti-tumor activity of IgA is dependent on PIGR, whereas that of IgG1 is dependent on TRIM21. These findings indicate that targeting specific mutant epitopes through DNA-encoded and LNP-delivered mAbs represents a novel approach for precision medicine against p53 mutants in PIGR- or TRIM21-positive cancers.

Intratumoral administration of lipid nanoparticles carrying mRNA encoding for IL-21, IL-7, and 4-1BBL induces anti-tumor immunity in preclinical tumor models.

Project description:Local delivery of mRNA-based immunotherapy offers a promising avenue for personalized medicine as it enables the production of specific immunomodulatory proteins that can stimulate the immune system to recognize and eliminate cancer cells, showcasing encouraging results in preclinical tumor models while minimizing systemic side effects. Nonetheless, efficient mRNA delivery is challenging due to its rapid degradation by ribonucleases and limited cellular uptake. Here, we developed and employed ionizable lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to intratumorally deliver an mRNA mixture encoding the cytokines IL-21 and IL-7 and the immunostimulatory molecule 4-1BB ligand (Triplet LNP). The Triplet LNP led to a profound increase in the frequency of tumor-infiltrating granzyme B+ CD8+ T cells and their capacity to secrete IFN-γ, leading to tumor eradication in a CD8+ T cell-dependent manner. Ultimately, the Triplet LNP showed superior therapeutic efficacy to anti-PD1 against the orthotopic triple-negative breast carcinoma model E0771, highlighting the therapeutic potential of the Triplet LNP in multiple murine tumor models.

Fine tuning of CpG spatial distribution with DNA origami for improved cancer vaccination

Project description:Multivalent presentation of ligands often enhances receptor activation and downstream signaling. DNA origami offers precise nanoscale spacing of ligands, a potentially useful feature for therapeutic nanoparticles. Here, we use a square block DNA origami platform to explore the importance of spacing of CpG oligonucleotides. CpG engages Toll-like receptors and thereby acts to activate dendritic cells. Through in vitro cell-culture studies and in vivo tumor-treatment models, we demonstrate that square blocks induce Th1 immune polarization when CpG is spaced at 3.5 nm. We observe that this DNA origami vaccine enhances DC activation, antigen cross-presentation, CD8+ T cell activation, Th1-polarized CD4+ activation and natural killer cell activation. The vaccine also synergizes effectively with anti-PD-L1 for improved cancer immunotherapy in melanoma and lymphoma models and induces long-term T cell memory. Our results suggest that DNA origami may serve as a platform for controlling adjuvant spacing and co-delivering antigens in vaccines.

Optimized RNA Interference Therapeutics Combined with Interleukin-2 mRNA for Treating Hepatitis B Virus Infection

Project description:BACKGROUND & AIMS: This study aimed to develop a pan-genotypic and multifunctional small interfering RNA (siRNA) against hepatitis B virus (HBV) with an efficient delivery system for treating chronic hepatitis B (CHB), and explore combined RNA interference (RNAi) and immune modulatory modalities for better viral control. METHODS: Twenty synthetic siRNAs targeting consensus motifs distributed across the whole HBV genome were designed and evaluated. The lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulation was optimized by adopting HO-PEG2000-DMG lipid and modifying the molar ratio of traditional polyethylene glycol (PEG) lipid in LNP prescriptions. The efficacy and safety of this formulation in delivering siHBV (tLNP/siHBV) along with the mouse IL-2 (mIL-2) mRNA (tLNP/siHBVIL2) were evaluated in the rAAV-HBV1.3 mouse model. RESULTS: A siRNA combination (terms “siHBV”) with a genotypic coverage of 98.55% was selected, chemically modified, and encapsulated within an optimized LNP (tLNP) of high efficacy and security to fabricate a therapeutic formulation for CHB. The results revealed that tLNP/siHBV significantly reduced the expression of viral antigens and DNA (up to 3log10 reduction) in dose- and time-dependent manners at single-dose or multi-dose frequencies, with satisfactory safety profiles. Further studies showed that tLNP/siHBVIL2 enables additive antigenic and immune control of the virus, via introducing potent HBsAg clearance through RNAi and triggering strong HBV-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses by expressed mIL-2 protein. CONCLUSIONS: By adopting tLNP as nucleic acid nanocarriers, the co-delivery of siHBV and mIL-2 mRNA enables synergistic antigenic and immune control of HBV, thus offering a promising translational therapeutic strategy for treating CHB.

Gene expression profile of OT-I CD8+ T cell subtypes

Project description:Modified Vaccinia Ankara (MVA) was recently approved as a Smallpox vaccine. Transmission of Variola is by respiratory droplets, and MVA delivered by skin scarification (ss) protected mice far more effectively against lethal respiratory challenge with VACV than any other route of delivery, and at much lower doses. Comparisons of ss with intradermal, subcutaneous or intramuscular routes showed that MVAOVA ss-generated T cells were both more abundant and transcriptionally distinct. MVAOVA ss produced greater numbers of lung Ova-specific CD8+ TRM and was superior in protecting mice against lethal VACVOVA respiratory challenge. Nearly as many lung TRM were generated with MVAOVA ss compared to direct pulmonary immunization with MVAOVA, and both routes vaccination protected mice against lethal pulmonary challenge with VACVOVA. Strikingly, MVAOVA ss-generated effector T cells exhibited overlapping gene transcriptional profiles to those generated via direct pulmonary immunization. Overall, our data suggest that heterologous MVA vectors delivered via ss are uniquely well-suited as vaccine vectors for respiratory pathogens like COVID-19. In addition, MVA delivered via ss could represent a more effective dose-sparing smallpox vaccine.

Lipid nanoparticle delivery promotes cell-type-specific distribution of antisense oligonucleotides in the brain

Project description:Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) are being actively investigated as potential therapeutics for a broad range of neurodegenerative diseases. While these small oligonucleotides have been effective in the clinic, many basic questions regarding ASO internalization, trafficking, and modes of enhancing delivery remain. To address these questions, we investigated how lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery affects ASO uptake and distribution in the brain. We show that ASOs are internalized and active in central nervous system (CNS) cell types both in vivo and in vitro. While differential cellular activity and polarization states do not affect ASO potency, encapsulating ASOs in LNPs increases ASO activity up to 100-fold in cultured CNS cells. This dramatic increase in efficacy is facilitated by the intracellular trafficking of ASOs away from lysosomes or enhanced ASO uptake, which is cell-type-specific. We assessed the translatability of these results by screening ASO-LNPs in vitro and intracerebroventricularly injecting top performing formulations in mice. ASO-LNP delivery induced a strong ASO-dependent microgliosis response in the brain revealing that LNP encapsulation cannot mask ASO-mediated toxicity. However, LNP-delivered ASOs did not downregulate mRNA levels in bulk tissue due to changes in ASO distribution. While ASOs distribute widely across the brain after bulk injection, ASO-LNPs are preferentially internalized by cells lining the blood vessels and ventricles. Consistent with our findings in cells, ASOs localize to the endolysosomal system following both ASO and ASO-LNP delivery in the brain as determined using immunoelectron microscopy. These data provide valuable insights into how LNPs regulate ASO uptake and distribution in the brain, and support further development of ASO-LNPs for treating CNS disorders.

Immune response genes at the mRNA vaccine delivery sites and draining lymph nodes of rhesus macaques

Project description:mRNA vaccines are emerging as a powerful vaccine platform as they are well-tolerated and scalable. Modified non-replicating mRNA encoding Influenza hemagglutinin and encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles (LNP) induced robust antibody and CD4 T cell responses after intramuscular or intradermal delivery in rhesus macaques. We investigated the local innate immune responses modulating such vaccine-induced immunity at the sites of immunization (skeletal muscle and skin) and their draining lymph nodes (LNs). Rapid mobilization of antigen presenting cells was found at the LNP/mRNA-injection sites and LNs. Dendritic cells efficiently internalized the LNPs, translated the mRNA cargo and upregulated co-stimulatory molecules. In addition, several type I interferon-inducible genes were expressed at the immunization sites and draining LNs. The innate immune activation was transient and resulted in priming of antigen-specific CD4+ T cells exclusively in the vaccine-draining LNs. Collectively, mRNA-based vaccines induce type I interferon-polarized innate immunity and antigen production by antigen presenting cells, which resulted potent vaccine-specific responses.

Lipid nanoparticles as adjuvant of Norovirus VLP vaccine augment cellular and humoral immune responses in a TLR 9- and type I IFN-dependent pathway

Project description:Norovirus (NoV) virus-like particles (VLPs) adjuvanted with aluminum hydroxide (Alum) are common vaccine candidates in clinical studies. Alum adjuvants usually inefficiently assist recombinant proteins to induce cellular immune responses. Thus, novel adjuvants are required to develop NoV vaccines that could induce both efficient humoral and robust cellular immune responses. Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are well-known mRNA delivery vehicles. Increasing evidence suggests that LNPs may have intrinsic adjuvant activity and can be used as adjuvants for recombinant protein vaccines; however, the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. In this study, we compared the adjuvant effect of LNPs and Alum for a bivalent GI.1/GII.4 NoV VLP vaccine. Compared with Alum, LNP-adjuvanted vaccines induced earlier production of binding, blocking and neutralizing antibodies and promoted a more balanced IgG2a/IgG1 ratio. It is crucial that LNP-adjuvanted vaccines induced stronger Th1-type cytokine-producing CD4+ T cell and CD8+ T cell responses than Alum. The adjuvant activity of LNPs depended on the ionizable lipid components. Mechanistically, LNPs activated innate immune responses in a type I IFN-dependent manner and were partially dependent on Toll-like receptor (TLR) 9, thus affecting the adaptive immune responses of the vaccine. This conclusion was supported by RNA-seq analysis and in vitro cell experiments and by the deeply blunted T cell responses in IFNαR1−/− mice immunized with LNP-adjuvanted vaccines. This study not only identified LNPs as a high quality adjuvant for NoV VLP vaccines, but also clarified the underlying mechanism of LNPs as a potent immunostimulatory component for improving protein subunit vaccines.
