BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Hyaluronan (HA, hyaluronate, hyaluronan, hyaluronic acid) is a negatively charged, high molecular weight, connective tissue polysaccharide found in the extracellular matrix of most animal tissues. HA consists of alternating N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and D-glururonic acid residues linked by B(1–4) and B (1–3) bonds which has a molecular weight ranging from 1 and 50×106 Da (Brimacombe, JS., et al., in Mucopolysaccarides. (Elsevier, Amsterdam, 1964)) depending upon its source. For example, its has been determined that HA averages between 3–5×106 Da, or 6–7×106 Da, when isolated from rheumatoid fluid, or normal synovial fluid, respectively (Laurent, TC, et al., Immunol Cell Biol., 74:1–7, (1996)). In addition, dilute solutions of HA (<1 mg/mL) are known to result in highly entangled networks which instill unique rheological characteristics to the solution in hand (Laurent, T C., Immuno Cell Biol., 74:1–7, (1996)). For example, solutions of hyaluronan are viscoelastic with the viscosity maintaining a pronounced dependency on shear forces (Ogston, A G., et al., J. Physiol., 199:244–52, (1953)). Therefore, considering the increased localization of HA in the body between surfaces that move against each other, combined with the mechanical/physical characteristics ascribed above, HA has been attributed the primary role of lubrication and protection of joints and tissues, cartilage surfaces and muscle bundles. Further, HA has also been associated with the scavenging of free radicals and debris (Myint, P., et al., Biochim. Biophys. Acta, 925:194–202, (1987), and Laurent, T C, Ann. Rheum. Dis., 54:429–32, (1995), respectively), keeping the joint cavities open (Edwards, J C W., et al., J. Anat., 185:355–67, 1994), forming flow barriers in the synovium (McDonald, J N., et al., J. Physiol., 485.1:179–93, (1995)), and the prevention of capillary growth (Sattar, A., Semin. Arthritis Rheum., 22:37–43, (1992)).
HA is synthesized ubiquitously in the plasma membrane of all vertebrate tissues and in some bacteria (Fraser, J R E, J. Intern Med., 242:27–33, (1997)). It is catabolized locally through receptor-mediated endocytosis and lysosomal degradation, in addition to, the lymph nodes and endothelial cells of the liver sinusoids. HA is commonly isolated from the vitreous body of the eye, synovial fluid, rheumatoid fluid, umbilical cord, and skin. Several physiological functions have been associated with HA, in particular water homeostasis; mitosis, cell migration, differentiation, angiogenesis (Rooney P and Kumar S (1994) EXS (Switzerland) 70:179–90); and tissue remodeling, both in normal or tumor-associated events. Its role in water homeostasis (resistance to bulk flow of solvent) is particularly important as it has been shown to prevent excessive fluid exchange between tissue compartments, during both normal conditions and injury (Day, T D., Nature, 166:785–6., (1950)). In addition, HA is thought to play an important role in the promotion of cell proliferation and migration during tissue development and regeneration (Toole, B P., in Cell Biology of Extracellular Matrix (Hay ED, ed), pp. 305–339 (Plenum Press, New York, (1991)).
The matrix-induced effects on cells are directed by a wide variety of HA-binding proteins which are classified into two groups: structural (matrix) and cell-surface-associated (HA-receptors) (Tool, B P., Curr Opin Cell Biol 2:839–844 (1990)). The widespread occurrence of HRs indicate their importance in tissue organization and control of cellular behavior. The family is known as the hyaladherins and includes those RA-binding proteins which act as part of the structural matrix and those which interact with HA at the plasma membrane as cell-surface matrix receptors. Although not comprehensive, some of the identified members of the hyaladherin family include aggrecan, link protein (Manuskiatti, W., Int J Dermatology, 35(8):539–533, (1996)), versican, hyaluronectin, neurocan (Knudson, C B et al., FASEB J, 7:1233–1241, (1993)), CD44 family of receptors (Underhill, C B., J Cell Sci,), RHAMM (Receptor for Hyaluronan-Mediated Motility), and TSG-6 (Tumor Necrosis Factor-Stimulated Gene 6). With the recognition of the Hyaluronan cell-surface receptor (HR), cell biologists, pathologists, and immunologists have begun to investigate the importance of the HA and HR for their potential diagnostic and therapeutic value.
HRs found within the cartilage matrix have been well characterized. Aggrecan is the large aggregating chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan of cartilage which has a high affinity for HA (Hardingham et al, Biochim Biophys. Acta., 279:401–405, (1972)). Link protein is a 45–48 kDa glycoprotein which also demonstrates strong specific binding affinity. HA may bind more than 100 aggrecan and link protein molecules in a supramolecular complex which confers the viscoelastic properties of cartilage. Other matrix proteins such as PG-M and type VI collagen which participate in assembly and integrity may also be involved.
HA-binding proteins are also found in noncartilaginous tissues. Versican of fibroblasts, hyaluronectin of nervous and soft connective tissues, glial hyaluronan binding protein in the central nervous system, and neurocan, a chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan of brain, also form strong structural complexes with HA. All matrix hyaloadherins contain tandem repeated B loops, a structural motif believed to contain the HA-binding domain.
HR hyaloadherins have been detected on several cell types from a wide variety of tissues based upon hyaluronans ability to aggregate such cells (Pessac, B., et al., Science, 175:898–900, (1972)). Some reports suggest that HRs are related to the CD44 family of lymphocyte homing receptors which include the isoforms, Pgp-1, Hermes antigen, H-CAM and ECMRIII. The distal extracellular domain of CD44 has sequence homology to one of the B loop motifs of link protein. The numerous isoforms suggest different cellular functions and demonstrate binding to other ligands such as collagens I and IV and mucosal vascular addressing. Further, although many roles have been attributed to the CD44-hyaluronan interaction, its roles in development, tumour progression, and in the immune response appear to be the most prevalent (Sherman, L., Curr. Opinion Cell Biol., 6:726–33, (1994).
Other non-CD44 HRs include cell-surface antigens termed IVd4 which block binding of HA, liver endothelial cell receptors (LEC) which are involved in the clearance of HA from the circulation, and fibroblast-produced HR which may be located on the cell surface where it mediates HA-induced cell locomotion. Its 58 kDA soluble form contains an HA-binding component unrelated to the B loop motif and is known as a receptor for HA mediated motility (RHAMM). The important distinctions between cell-surface and matrix hyaloadherins are 1) HA hexasaccharides represent the minimum size molecule that interacts with these cell-surface receptors, 2) binding affinity increases with increasing polymer length, and 3) binding increases with increasing buffer ionic strength.
Increased matrix presence of HA has been correlated with cell migration in embryogenesis, limb regeneration, wound healing and tumor invasion. Since the CD44 HR have been shown to associate with cytoskeletal ankyrin, proteins of the HR complex may affect re-organization of the actin cytoskeleton and other activities such as cell ruffling, detachment from the substratum, and locomotion necessary for cell migration. RHAMM, as one of the HR complex proteins, binds to HA with high affinity and is expressed only in the leading lamellae and perinuclear regions of migrating fibroblasts.
Since RHAMM does not include a transmembrane hydrophobic region, it is assumed to be a peripheral protein associated with intracellular, membrane bound tyrosine kinase. In studies of timed administration of HA and an inhibitor of tyrosine kinase, HA stimulated locomotion via a rapid tyrosine kinase signal transduction pathway.
Invasive or metastatic cancer cells have the capacity to exit from the vascular system by use of sets of molecules, at least one of which always has a receptor function. One series of such sets might include successive interactions among endothelial VLA-4 integrin and E-selectin, subendothelial collagen IV and B-4 integrin, and soft connective tissue HA and CD44 or HR interactions (Zetter BR (1993) Semin Cancer Biol 4:215–218).
Some tumor cells also have the capacity to assemble HA-enriched pericellular matrices which reduce cell adhesion to the outside of the growing tumor and protect the tumor from immune surveillance. In addition, the presence of high HA attracts endothelial cells which are active in angiogenesis. The combination of these HA functions allows the rapid establishment and growth of invasive tumor cells.
The transforming oncogene H-ras may promote cell locomotion. Hardwick et al (1992 J Cell Biol 117:1343–1350) reported that H-ras actually regulates expression of RHAMM, showed binding between HA and RHAMM, and produced an antibody to the protein which is capable of inhibiting HA/HR locomotion.
The fact that WF-HABP, OE-HABP, and BM-HABP polynucleotides and polypeptides are members of the hyaluronan receptor family suggests that: invention would play an important role in diverse human disease states ranging from inflammatory conditions to, cancer metastasis, and more generally that members of this family mediate cellular responses such as activation, survival, proliferation, migration, signalling, and differentiation; that hyaluronan receptor family members provide an important model system for the in vitro study of arthritus, angiogenesis, and hematopoietic or immune disorders; and that hyaluronan receptors would provide defined targets for the development of new anti-cancer, arthritus, and healing wound tissue agents.

Nucleic Acid Molecules
Using the information provided herein, such as the nucleotide sequence in FIGS. 1A–P (SEQ ID NO:1), nucleic acid molecules of the present invention encoding the full-length WF-HABP polypeptides may be obtained using standard cloning and screening procedures, such as those used for cloning cDNAs using mRNA as starting material. Northern analysis has revealed expression of the full-length WF-HABP transcript in a variety of tissues. The highest level of expression was observed in the heart, placenta and lung, with next highest levels found in the liver, pancreas, and skeletal muscle, and lower expression found in the brain and kidney. Four major transcripts of 9.5, 4.5, 3.0 and 2.4 Kb were detected. The 9.5 Kb band appeared to be the predominant mRNA and was especially prominent in the placenta and the heart.
The expression pattern of the full-length WF-HABP was also examined in human smooth muscle cells (SMCs), human fetal lung fibroblasts (ETL), human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), as well as in HL-60 and U937 cells. Full-length WF-HABP mRNA expression was not detected in either uninduced or TPA-stimulated HL-60 cells. A minor 2.4 Kb band was detected in all of the other cell types examined. Induction of U937 cells with TPA resulted in a slight decrease of the signal. However, it is noteworthy that full-length WF-HABP mRNAs of 9.5, 4.5 and 3.0 Kb were expressed exclusively by HUVECs.
Thus, any of these tissues or cell types provide a source of full-length WF-HABP mRNA. Additionally, any tissue or cell source may be utilized to routinely clone full-length WF-HABP genomic DNA using techniques known in the art. Illustrative of the invention, the nucleic acid molecule described in FIGS. 1A–P (SEQ ID NO:1) was discovered in a cDNA library derived from white fat tissue.
Using the information provided herein, such as the nucleotide sequence in FIGS. 2A–D (SEQ ID NO:4), nucleic acid molecules of the present invention encoding the WF-HABP polypeptides may be obtained using standard cloning and screening procedures, such as those used for cloning cDNAs using mRNA as starting material. Northern analysis has revealed expression of the WF-HABP transcript in a variety of tissues. The highest level of expression was observed in the heart, placenta and lung, with next highest levels found in the liver, pancreas, and skeletal muscle, and lower expression found in the brain and kidney.

Thus, any of these tissues or cell types provide a source of WF-HABP mRNA. Additionally, any tissue or cell source may be utilized to routinely clone WF-HABP genomic DNA using techniques known in the art. Illustrative of the invention, the nucleic acid molecule described in FIGS. 2A–D (SEQ ID NO:4) was discovered in a cDNA library derived from white fat tissue.
Using the information provided herein, such as the nucleotide sequence in FIGS. 3A–C (SEQ ID NO:7), nucleic acid molecules of the present invention encoding the OE-HABP polypeptides may be obtained using standard cloning and screening procedures, such as those used for cloning cDNAs using mRNA as starting material. Northern analysis has revealed expression of the OE-HABP transcript in a variety of tissues. The highest level of OE-HABP mRNA expression was detected in lung, placenta, and heart, with highest expression observed in the lung as a 2.2 Kb transcript. The expression pattern of OE-HABP was also examined in human smooth muscle cells (SMCs), human fetal lung fibroblasts (ETL), human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), as well as in HL-60 and U937 cells. The 2.2 Kb OE-HABP transcript identified supra was expressed by both HUVECs and SMCs, but not by ETL, HL60 or U937 cells. Interestingly, U937 cells responded to stimulation with TPA by expressing a major new 4.3 Kb transcript and minor bands of 3.8, and 3 Kb.
Thus, any of these tissues or cell types provide a source of OE-HABP mRNA. Additionally, any tissue or cell source may be utilized to routinely clone OE-HABP genomic DNA using techniques known in the art. Illustrative of the invention, the nucleic acid molecule described in FIGS. 3A–C (SEQ ID NO:7) was discovered in a cDNA library derived from osteoblast tissue.
Using the information provided herein, such as the nucleotide sequence in FIGS. 4A–C (SEQ ID NO:10), nucleic acid molecules of the present invention encoding the BM-HABP polypeptides may be obtained using standard cloning and screening procedures, such as those used for cloning cDNAs using mRNA as starting material. Northern analysis has revealed expression of the BM-HABP transcript in a variety of tissues. The highest level of BM-HABP mRNA expression was apparent only in the liver and appeared as a smear between 5 and 2 Kb. The expression of BM-HABP was also analyzed in human fetal brain, lung, liver and kidney and found that a distinct 9.5 Kb mRNA was expressed at an elevated level in fetal liver with a low level of signal also observed the lung.
The expression pattern of BM-HABP was also examined in human smooth muscle cells (SMC's), human fetal lung fibroblasts (ETL), human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), as well as in HL-60 and U937 cells. There was no detectable mRNA expression of BM-HABP in any of the above cell lines.
Thus, any of these tissues or cell types provide a source of BM-HABP mRNA. Additionally, any tissue or cell source may be utilized to routinely clone BM-HABP genomic DNA using techniques known in the art. Illustrative of the invention, the nucleic acid molecule described in FIGS. 4A–C (SEQ ID NO:10) was discovered in a cDNA library derived from bone marrow tissue.

As indicated, nucleic acid molecules of the present invention which encode full-length WF-HABP polypeptides may include, but are not limited to, those encoding the amino acid sequences of the full-length polypeptide (SEQ ID NO:2), by itself; the coding sequence for full-length polypeptide together with additional, non-coding sequences, including for example, but not limited to, introns and non-coding 5′ and 3′ sequences, such as the transcribed, non-translated sequences that play a role in transcription, mRNA processing, including splicing and polyadenylation signals, for example—ribosome binding and stability of mRNA; an additional coding sequence which codes for additional amino acids, such as those which provide additional functionalities. Thus, the sequence encoding the polypeptides may be fused to a marker sequence, such as a sequence encoding a peptide which facilitates purification of the fused polypeptide. In certain preferred embodiments, the marker amino acid sequence is a hexa-histidine peptide, such as the tag provided in a pQE vector (Qiagen, Inc.), among others, many of which are commercially available. As described in Gentz et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 86:821–824 (1989), for instance, hexa-histidine provides for convenient purification of the fusion protein. The “HA” tag is another peptide useful for purification which corresponds to an epitope derived from the influenza hemagglutinin protein, which has been described by Wilson et al., Cell 37:767 (1984). As discussed below, other such fusion proteins include full-length WF-HABPs fused to IgG-Fc at the N- or C-terminus.

In a specific embodiment, the identity between a reference (query) sequence (a sequence of the present full-length WF-HABP invention) and a subject sequence, also referred to as a global sequence alignment, is determined using the FASTDB computer program based on the algorithm of Brutlag et al. (Comp. App. Biosci. 6:237–245 (1990)). Preferred parameters used in a FASTDB alignment of DNA sequences to calculate percent identity are: Matrix=Unitary, k-tuple=4, Mismatch Penalty-1, Joining Penalty=30, Randomization Group Length=0, Cutoff Score=1, Gap Penalty=5, Gap Size Penalty 0.05, Window Size=500 or the length of the subject nucleotide sequence, whichever is shorter. According to this embodiment, if the subject sequence is shorter than the query sequence because of 5′ or 3′ deletions, not because of internal deletions, a manual correction is made to the results to take into consideration the fact that the FASTDB program does not account for 5′ and 3′ truncations of the subject sequence when calculating percent identity. For subject sequences truncated at the 5′ or 3′ ends, relative to the query sequence, the percent identity is corrected by calculating the number of bases of the query sequence that are 5′ and 3′ of the subject sequence, which are not matched/aligned, as a percent of the total bases of the query sequence. A determination of whether a nucleotide is matched/aligned is determined by results of the FASTDB sequence alignment. This percentage is then subtracted from the percent identity, calculated by the above FASTDB program using the specified parameters, to arrive at a final percent identity score. This corrected score is what is used for the purposes of this embodiment. Only bases outside the 5′ and 3′ bases of the subject sequence, as displayed by the FASTDB alignment, which are not matched/aligned with the query sequence, are calculated for the purposes of manually adjusting the percent identity score. For example, a 90 base subject sequence is aligned to a 100 base query sequence to determine percent identity. The deletions occur at the 5′ end of the subject sequence and therefore, the FASTDB alignment does not show a matched/alignment of the first 10 bases at 5′ end. The 10 unpaired bases represent 10% of the sequence (number of bases at the 5′ and 3′ ends not matched/total number of bases in the query sequence) so 10% is subtracted from the percent identity score calculated by the FASTDB program. If the remaining 90 bases were perfectly matched the final percent identity would be 90%. In another example, a 90 base subject sequence is compared with a 100 base query sequence. This time the deletions are internal deletions so that there are no bases on the 5′ or 3′ of the subject sequence which are not matched/aligned with the query. In this case the percent identity calculated by FASTDB is not manually corrected. Once again, only bases 5′ and 3′ of the subject sequence which are not matched/aligned with the query sequence are manually corrected for. No other manual corrections are made for the purposes of this embodiment.

Of course, due to the degeneracy of the genetic code, one of ordinary skill in the art will immediately recognize that a large number of the nucleic acid molecules having a sequence at least 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% identical to the nucleic acid sequence shown in FIGS. 1A–P (SEQ ID NO:1), or fragments thereof, will encode polypeptides “having full-length WF-HABP functional activity.” In fact, since degenerate variants of any of these nucleotide sequences all encode the same polypeptide, in many instances, this will be clear to the skilled artisan even without performing the above described comparison assay. It will be further recognized in the art that, for such nucleic acid molecules that are not degenerate variants, a reasonable number will also encode a polypeptide having full-length WF-HABP functional activity.

The host cell can be a higher eukaryotic cell, such as a mammalian cell (e.g., a human derived cell), or a lower eukaryotic cell, such as a yeast cell, or the host cell can be a prokaryotic cell, such as a bacterial cell. The host strain may be chosen which modulates the expression of the inserted full-length WF-HABP gene sequences, or modifies and processes the gene product in the specific fashion desired. Expression from certain promoters can be elevated in the presence of certain inducers; thus expression of the genetically engineered polypeptide may be controlled. Furthermore, different host cells have characteristics and specific mechanisms for the translational and post-translational processing and modification (e.g., glycosylation, phosphorylation, cleavage) of proteins. Appropriate cell lines can be chosen to ensure the desired modifications and processing of the foreign protein expressed.
Introduction of the construct into the host cell can be effected by calcium phosphate transfection, DEAE-dextran mediated transfection, cationic lipid-mediated transfection, electroporation, transduction, infection or other methods. Such methods are described in many standard laboratory manuals, such as Davis et al., Basic Methods In Molecular Biology (1986).

The full-length WF-HABP polypeptide may be expressed in a modified form, such as a fusion protein (comprising the polypeptide joined via a peptide bond to a heterologous protein sequence (of a different protein)), and may include not only secretion signals, but also additional heterologous functional regions. Such a fusion protein can be made by ligating polynucleotides of the invention and the desired nucleic acid sequence encoding the desired amino acid sequence to each other, by methods known in the art, in the proper reading frame, and expressing the fusion protein product by methods known in the art. Alternatively, such a fusion protein can be made by protein synthetic techniques, e.g., by use of a peptide synthesizer. Thus, for instance, a region of additional amino acids, particularly charged amino acids, may be added to the N-terminus of the polypeptide to improve stability and persistence in the host cell, during purification, or during subsequent handling and storage. Additionally, peptide moieties may be added to the polypeptide to facilitate purification. Such regions may be removed prior to final preparation of the polypeptide. The addition of peptide moieties to polypeptides to engender secretion or excretion, to improve stability and to facilitate purification, among others, are familiar and routine techniques in the art. A preferred fusion protein comprises a heterologous region from immunoglobulin that is useful to solubilize proteins. For example, EP-A-O 464 533 (Canadian counterpart 2045869) discloses fusion proteins comprising various portions of constant region of immunoglobin molecules together with another human protein or part thereof. In many cases, the Fc part in a fusion protein is thoroughly advantageous for use in therapy and diagnosis and thus results, for example, in improved pharmacokinetic properties (EP-A 0232 262). On the other hand, for some uses it would be desirable to be able to delete the Fc part after the fusion protein has been expressed, detected and purified in the advantageous manner described. This is the case when Fc portion proves to be a hindrance to use in therapy and diagnosis, for example when the fusion protein is to be used as antigen for immunizations. In drug discovery, for example, human proteins, such as, human hIL-5 receptor have been fused with Fc portions for the purpose of high-throughput screening assays to identify antagonists of hIL-5. See, Bennett et al., J. Mol. Recog. 8:52–58 (1995) and Johanson et al., J. Biol. Chem. 270(16):9459–9471 (1995).

The polypeptides of the present invention are preferably provided in an isolated form. By “isolated polypeptide”, is intended a polypeptide removed from its native environment. Thus, a polypeptide produced and contained within a recombinant host cell would be considered “isolated” for purposes of the present invention. Also intended as an “isolated polypeptide” are polypeptides that have been purified, partially or substantially, from a recombinant host. For example, recombinantly produced versions of the full-length WF-HABP polypeptides can be substantially purified by the one-step method described in Smith and Johnson, Gene 67:31–40 (1988).

Preferred embodiments of the invention in this regard include fragments that comprise alpha-helix and alpha-helix forming regions (“alpha-regions”), beta-sheet and beta-sheet forming regions (“beta-regions”), turn and turn-forming regions (“turn-regions”), coil and coil-forming regions (“coil-regions”), hydrophilic regions, hydrophobic regions, alpha amphipathic regions, beta amphipathic regions, flexible regions, surface-forming regions and high antigenic index regions of WF-HABP, OE-HABP, and BM-HABP.
The data representing the structural or functional attributes of WF-HABP, OE-HABP, and BM-HABP are set forth in FIGS. 1A–P, FIGS. 2A–D, FIGS. 3A–C, and FIGS. 4A–C, and/or Tables I–IV, as described above, was generated using the various modules and algorithms of the DNA*STAR set on default parameters. In a preferred embodiment, the data presented in columns VIII, IX, XIII, and XIV of Tables I–IV can be used to determine regions of WF-HABP, OE-HABP, and BM-HABP which exhibit a high degree of potential for antigenicity. Regions of high antigenicity are determined from the data presented in columns VIII, IX, XIII, and/or IV by choosing values which represent regions of the polypeptide which are likely to be exposed on the surface of the polypeptide in an environment in which antigen recognition may occur in the process of initiation of an immune response.
Certain preferred regions of WF-HABP (SEQ ID NO:2) in these regards are set out in FIGS. 9A–B, but may, as shown in Table I, be represented or identified by using tabular representations of the data presented in FIGS. 9A–B. Certain preferred regions of WF-HABP (SEQ ID NO:5) in these regards are set out in FIGS. 10A–B, but may, as shown in Table II, be represented or identified by using tabular representations of the data presented in FIGS. 10A–B. Certain preferred regions of OE-HABP (SEQ ID NO:8) in these regards are set out in FIGS. 11A–B, but may, as shown in Table III, be represented or identified by using tabular representations of the data presented in FIGS. 11A–B. Certain preferred regions of BM-HABP (SEQ ID NO:11) in these regards are set out in FIGS. 12A–B, but may, as shown in Table IV, be represented or identified by using tabular representations of the data presented in FIGS. 12A–B. The DNA*STAR computer algorithm used to generate FIGS. 9A–B, FIGS. 10A–B, FIGS. 11A–B, and FIGS. 12A–B (set on the original default parameters) was used to present the data in FIGS. 9A–B, FIGS. 10A–B, FIGS. 11A–B, and FIGS. 12A–B in a tabular format (See Tables I–IV). The tabular format of the data in FIGS. 9A–B, FIGS. 10A–B, FIGS. 11A–B, and FIGS. 12A–B may be used to easily determine specific boundaries of a preferred region.
The above-mentioned preferred regions set out in FIGS. 9A–B, FIGS. 10A–B, FIGS. 11A–B, and FIGS. 12A–B and in Tables I–IV include, but are not limited to, regions of the aforementioned types identified by analysis of the amino acid sequence set out in FIGS. 1A–P, FIGS. 2A–D, FIGS. 3A–C, and FIGS. 4A–C, respectively. As set out in FIGS. 9A–B, FIGS. 10A–B, FIGS. 11A–B, and FIGS. 12A–B and in Tables I–IV, such preferred regions include Garnier-Robson alpha-regions, beta-regions, turn-regions, and coil-regions, Chou-Fasman alpha-regions, beta-regions, and coil-regions, Kyte-Doolittle hydrophilic regions and hydrophobic regions, Eisenberg alpha- and beta-amphipathic regions, Karplus-Schulz flexible regions, Emini surface-forming regions and Jameson-Wolf regions of high antigenic index.

Among highly preferred fragments in this regard are those that comprise regions of WF-HABP, OE-HABP, and BM-HABP that combine several structural features, such as several of the features set out above.
Other preferred fragments are biologically active WF-HABP, OE-HABP, and BM-HABP fragments. Biologically active fragments are those exhibiting activity similar, but not necessarily identical, to an activity of the WF-HABP, OE-HABP, and BM-HABP polypeptides. The biological activity of the fragments may include an improved desired activity, or a decreased undesirable activity.
The WF-HABP, OE-HABP, and BM-HABP inventions also provide polypeptides comprising epitope-bearing portions of the polypeptides of the invention. The present invention encompasses polypeptides comprising, or alternatively consisting of, an epitope of the polypeptide having an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NOs: 2, 5, 8, or 11, or an epitope of the polypeptide sequence encoded by a polynucleotide sequence contained in ATCC deposit Nos. 203501, 203502, and 203503, or encoded by a polynucleotide that hybridizes to the complement of the sequence of SEQ ID NOs: 2, 5, 8, or 11, or contained in ATCC deposit Nos. 203501, 203502, and 203503 under stringent hybridization conditions or lower stringency hybridization conditions as defined supra. The present invention further encompasses polynucleotide sequences encoding an epitope of a polypeptide sequence of the invention (such as, for example, the sequence disclosed in SEQ ID NOs: 2, 5, 8, 11), polynucleotide sequences of the complementary strand of a polynucleotide sequence encoding an epitope of the invention, and polynucleotide sequences which hybridize to the complementary strand under stringent hybridization conditions or lower stringency hybridization conditions defined supra.
The term “epitopes,” as used herein, refers to portions of a polypeptide having antigenic or immunogenic activity in an animal, preferably a mammal, and most preferably in a human. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention encompasses a polypeptide comprising an epitope, as well as the polynucleotide encoding this polypeptide. An “immunogenic epitope,” as used herein, is defined as a portion of a protein that elicits an antibody response in an animal, as determined by any method known in the art, for example, by the methods for generating antibodies described infra. (See, for example, Geysen et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 81:3998–4002 (1983)). The term “antigenic epitope,” as used herein, is defined as a portion of a protein to which an antibody can immunospecifically bind its antigen as determined by any method well known in the art, for example, by the immunoassays described herein. Immunospecific binding excludes non-specific binding but does not necessarily exclude cross-reactivity with other antigens. Antigenic epitopes need not necessarily be immunogenic.
Fragments which function as epitopes may be produced by any conventional means. (See, e.g., Houghten, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 82:5131–5135 (1985), further described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,631,211).
In the present invention, antigenic epitopes preferably contain a sequence of at least 4, at least 5, at least 6, at least 7, more preferably at least 8, at least 9, at least 10, at least 11, at least 12, at least 13, at least 14, at least 15, at least 20, at least 25, at least 30, at least 40, at least 50, and, most preferably, between about 15 to about 30 amino acids. Preferred polypeptides comprising immunogenic or antigenic epitopes are at least 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, or 100 amino acid residues in length. Additional non-exclusive preferred antigenic epitopes include the antigenic epitopes disclosed herein, as well as portions thereof. Antigenic epitopes are useful, for example, to raise antibodies, including monoclonal antibodies, that specifically bind the epitope. Preferred antigenic epitopes include the antigenic epitopes disclosed herein, as well as any combination of two, three, four, five or more of these antigenic epitopes. Antigenic epitopes can be used as the target molecules in immunoassays. (See, for instance, Wilson et al., Cell 37:767–778 (1984); Sutcliffe et al., Science 219:660–666 (1983)).
Similarly, immunogenic epitopes can be used, for example, to induce antibodies according to methods well known in the art. (See, for instance, Sutcliffe et al., supra; Wilson et al., supra; Chow et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 82:910–914; and Bittle et al., J. Gen. Virol. 66:2347–2354 (1985). Preferred immunogenic epitopes include the immunogenic epitopes disclosed herein, as well as any combination of two, three, four, five or more of these immunogenic epitopes. The polypeptides comprising one or more immunogenic epitopes may be presented for eliciting an antibody response together with a carrier protein, such as an albumin, to an animal system (such as rabbit or mouse), or, if the polypeptide is of sufficient length (at least about 25 amino acids), the polypeptide may be presented without a carrier. However, immunogenic epitopes comprising as few as 8 to 10 amino acids have been shown to be sufficient to raise antibodies capable of binding to, at the very least, linear epitopes in a denatured polypeptide (e.g., in Western blotting).
Epitope-bearing polypeptides of the present invention may be used to induce antibodies according to methods well known in the art including, but not limited to, in vivo immunization, in vitro immunization, and phage display methods. See, e.g., Sutcliffe et al., supra; Wilson et al., supra, and Bittle et al., J. Gen. Virol., 66:2347–2354 (1985). If in vivo immunization is used, animals may be immunized with free peptide; however, anti-peptide antibody titer may be boosted by coupling the peptide to a macromolecular carrier, such as keyhole limpet hemacyanin (KLH) or tetanus toxoid. For instance, peptides containing cysteine residues may be coupled to a carrier using a linker such as maleimidobenzoyl-N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (MBS), while other peptides may be coupled to carriers using a more general linking agent such as glutaraldehyde. Animals such as rabbits, rats and mice are immunized with either free or carrier-coupled peptides, for instance, by intraperitoneal and/or intradermal injection of emulsions containing about 100 μg of peptide or carrier protein and Freund's adjuvant or any other adjuvant known for stimulating an immune response. Several booster injections may be needed, for instance, at intervals of about two weeks, to provide a useful titer of anti-peptide antibody which can be detected, for example, by ELISA assay using free peptide adsorbed to a solid surface. The titer of anti-peptide antibodies in serum from an immunized animal may be increased by selection of anti-peptide antibodies, for instance, by adsorption to the peptide on a solid support and elution of the selected antibodies according to methods well known in the art.
As one of skill in the art will appreciate, and as discussed above, the polypeptides of the present invention comprising an immunogenic or antigenic epitope can be fused to other polypeptide sequences. For example, the polypeptides of the present invention may be fused with the constant domain of immunoglobulins (IgA, IgE, IgG, IgM), or portions thereof (CH1, CH2, CH3, or any combination thereof and portions thereof) resulting in chimeric polypeptides. Such fusion proteins may facilitate purification and may increase half-life in vivo. This has been shown for chimeric proteins consisting of the first two domains of the human CD4-polypeptide and various domains of the constant regions of the heavy or light chains of mammalian immunoglobulins. See, e.g., EP 394,827; Traunecker et al., Nature, 331:84–86 (1988). Enhanced delivery of an antigen across the epithelial barrier to the immune system has been demonstrated for antigens (e.g., insulin) conjugated to an FcRn binding partner such as IgG or Fc fragments (see, e.g., PCT Publications WO 96/22024 and WO 99/04813). IgG Fusion proteins that have a disulfide-linked dimeric structure due to the IgG portion desulfide bonds have also been found to be more efficient in binding and neutralizing other molecules than monomeric polypeptides or fragments thereof alone. See, e.g., Fountoulakis et al., J. Biochem., 270:3958–3964 (1995). Nucleic acids encoding the above epitopes can also be recombined with a gene of interest as an epitope tag (e.g., the hemagglutinin (“HA”) tag or flag tag) to aid in detection and purification of the expressed polypeptide. For example, a system described by Janknecht et al. allows for the ready purification of non-denatured fusion proteins expressed in human cell lines (Janknecht et al., 1991, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 88:8972–897). In this system, the gene of interest is subcloned into a vaccinia recombination plasmid such that the open reading frame of the gene is translationally fused to an amino-terminal tag consisting of six histidine residues. The tag serves as a matrix binding domain for the fusion protein. Extracts from cells infected with the recombinant vaccinia virus are loaded onto Ni2+ nitriloacetic acid-agarose column and histidine-tagged proteins can be selectively eluted with imidazole-containing buffers.
Additional fusion proteins of the invention may be generated through the techniques of gene-shuffling, motif-shuffling, exon-shuffling, and/or codon-shuffling (collectively referred to as “DNA shuffling”). DNA shuffling may be employed to modulate the activities of polypeptides of the invention, such methods can be used to generate polypeptides with altered activity, as well as agonists and antagonists of the polypeptides. See, generally, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,605,793; 5,811,238; 5,830,721; 5,834,252; and 5,837,458, and Patten et al., Curr. Opinion Biotechnol. 8:724–33 (1997); Harayama, Trends Biotechnol. 16(2):76–82 (1998); Hansson, et al., J. Mol. Biol. 287:265–76 (1999); and Lorenzo and Blasco, Biotechniques 24(2):308–13 (1998) (each of these patents and publications are hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety). In one embodiment, alteration of polynucleotides corresponding to SEQ ID NOs: 1, 4, 7, or 10, and the polypeptides encoded by these polynucleotides may be achieved by DNA shuffling. DNA shuffling involves the assembly of two or more DNA segments by homologous or site-specific recombination to generate variation in the polynucleotide sequence. In another embodiment, polynucleotides of the invention, or the encoded polypeptides, may be altered by being subjected to random mutagenesis by error-prone PCR, random nucleotide insertion or other methods prior to recombination. In another embodiment, one or more components, motifs, sections, parts, domains, fragments, etc., of a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide of the invention may be recombined with one or more components, motifs, sections, parts, domains, fragments, etc. of one or more heterologous molecules.

For many proteins, it is known in the art that one or more amino acids may be deleted from the N-terminus or C-terminus without substantial loss of biological function. However, even if deletion of one or more amino acids from the N-terminus or C-terminus of a protein results in modification or loss of one or more biological functions of the protein, other full-length WF-HABP functional activities may still be retained. For example, in many instances, the ability of the shortened protein to induce and/or bind to antibodies which recognize the full-length WF-HABP (preferably antibodies that bind specifically to the full-length WF-HABP) will be retained irrespective of the size or location of the deletion. Whether a particular polypeptide lacking N-terminal and/or C-terminal residues of a complete protein retains such immunologic activities can readily be determined by routine methods described herein and otherwise known in the art.

Whether a particular polypeptide lacking N-terminal and/or C-terminal residues of a complete protein retains such immunologic activities can readily be determined by routine methods described herein and otherwise known in the art.
In one embodiment, the present invention further provides polypeptides having one or more residues deleted from the amino terminus of the amino acid sequence of the full-length WF-HABP polypeptide depicted in FIGS. 1A–P (SEQ ID NO:2). Particularly, in one embodiment, N-terminal deletions of the full-length WF-HABP polypeptide can be described by the general formula m to 2156, where m is an integer from 1 to 2155 corresponding to the position of amino acids identified in SEQ ID NO:2 and preferably, corresponds to one of the N-terminal amino acid residues identified in the N-terminal deletions specified herein. In specific embodiments, N-terminal deletions of the full-length WF-HABP polypeptide of the invention comprise, or alternatively, consist of, amino acid residues: M-2 to K-2157; D-3 to K-2157; Q-4 to K-2157; G-5 to K-2157; C-6 to K-2157; R-7 to K-2157; E-8 to K-2157; I-9 to K-2157; L-10 to K-2157; T-11 to K-2157; T-12 to K-2157; A-13 to K-2157; G-14 to K-2157; P-15 to K-2157; F-16 to K-2157; T-17 to K-2157;

It will be recognized in the art that some amino acid sequences of the full-length WF-HABPs can be varied without significant effect to the structure or function of the protein. If such differences in sequence are contemplated, it should be remembered that there will be critical areas on the protein which determine activity. Thus, the invention further includes variations of full-length WF-HABPs which show substantial full-length WF-HABP receptor activity or which include regions of full-length WF-HABP proteins such as the polypeptide portions discussed below. Such mutants include deletions, insertions, inversions, repeats, and type substitutions. As indicated above, guidance concerning which amino acid changes are likely to be phenotypically silent can be found in Bowie et al., “Deciphering the Message in Protein Sequences: Tolerance to Amino Acid Substitutions,” Science 247:1306–1310 (1990).

Of particular interest are substitutions of charged amino acids with another charged amino acid and with neutral or negatively charged amino acids. The latter results in polypeptides with reduced positive charge to improve the characteristics of the full-length WF-HABP polypeptides. The prevention of aggregation is highly desirable. Aggregation of polypeptides not only results in a loss of activity but can also be problematic when preparing pharmaceutical formulations, because they can be immunogenic. (Pinckard et al., Clin. Exp. Immunol. 2:331–340 (1967); Robbins et al., Diabetes 36:838–845 (1987); Cleland et al., Crit. Rev. Therapeutic Drug Carrier Systems 10:307–377 (1993)).

In a specific embodiment of the full-length WF-HABP invention, the identity between a reference (query) sequence (a sequence of the present invention) and a subject sequence, also referred to as a global sequence alignment, is determined using the FASTDB computer program based on the algorithm of Brutlag et al. (Comp. App. Biosci. 6:237–245 (1990)). Preferred parameters used in a FASTDB amino acid alignment are: Matrix=PAM 0, k-tuple=2, Mismatch Penalty=1, Joining Penalty=20, Randomization Group Length=0, CutoffScore=1, Window Size=sequence length, Gap Penalty=5, Gap Size Penalty=0.05, Window Size=500 or the length of the subject amino acid sequence, whichever is shorter. According to this embodiment, if the subject sequence is shorter than the query sequence due to N- or C-terminal deletions, not because of internal deletions, a manual correction is made to the results to take into consideration the fact that the FASTDB program does not account for N- and C-terminal truncations of the subject sequence when calculating global percent identity. For subject sequences truncated at the N- and C-termini, relative to the query sequence, the percent identity is corrected by calculating the number of residues of the query sequence that are N- and C-terminal of the subject sequence, which are not matched/aligned with a corresponding subject residue, as a percent of the total bases of the query sequence. A determination of whether a residue is matched/aligned is determined by results of the FASTDB sequence alignment. This percentage is then subtracted from the percent identity, calculated by the above FASTDB program using the specified parameters, to arrive at a final percent identity score. This final percent identity score is what is used for the purposes of this embodiment. Only residues to the N- and C-termini of the subject sequence, which are not matched/aligned with the query sequence, are considered for the purposes of manually adjusting the percent identity score. That is, only query residue positions outside the farthest N- and C-terminal residues of the subject sequence. For example, a 90 amino acid residue subject sequence is aligned with a 100 residue query sequence to determine percent identity. The deletion occurs at the N-terminus of the subject sequence and therefore, the FASTDB alignment does not show a matching/alignment of the first 10 residues at the N-terminus. The 10 unpaired residues represent 10% of the sequence (number of residues at the N- and C-termini not matched/total number of residues in the query sequence) so 10% is subtracted from the percent identity score calculated by the FASTDB program. If the remaining 90 residues were perfectly matched the final percent identity would be 90%. In another example, a 90 residue subject sequence is compared with a 100 residue query sequence. This time the deletions are internal deletions so there are no residues at the N- or C-termini of the subject sequence which are not matched/aligned with the query. In this case the percent identity calculated by FASTDB is not manually corrected. Once again, only residue positions outside the N- and C-terminal ends of the subject sequence, as displayed in the FASTDB alignment, which are not matched/aligned with the query sequence are manually corrected for. No other manual corrections are made for the purposes of this embodiment.

No other manual corrections are made for the purposes of this embodiment.
In a specific embodiment of the OE-HABP invention, the identity between a reference (query) sequence (a sequence of the present invention) and a subject sequence, also referred to as a global sequence alignment, is determined using the FASTDB computer program based on the algorithm of Brutlag et al. (Comp. App. Biosci. 6:237–245 (1990)). Preferred parameters used in a FASTDB amino acid alignment are: Matrix=PAM 0, k-tuple=2, Mismatch Penalty=1, Joining Penalty=20, Randomization Group Length=0, Cutoff Score=1, Window Size=sequence length, Gap Penalty=5, Gap Size Penalty=0.05, Window Size=500 or the length of the subject amino acid sequence, whichever is shorter. According to this embodiment, if the subject sequence is shorter than the query sequence due to N- or C-terminal deletions, not because of internal deletions, a manual correction is made to the results to take into consideration the fact that the FASTDB program does not account for N- and C-terminal truncations of the subject sequence when calculating global percent identity. For subject sequences truncated at the N- and C-termini, relative to the query sequence, the percent identity is corrected by calculating the number of residues of the query sequence that are N- and C-terminal of the subject sequence, which are not matched/aligned with a corresponding subject residue, as a percent of the total bases of the query sequence. A determination of whether a residue is matched/aligned is determined by results of the FASTDB sequence alignment. This percentage is then subtracted from the percent identity, calculated by the above FASTDB program using the specified parameters, to arrive at a final percent identity score. This final percent identity score is what is used for the purposes of this embodiment. Only residues to the N- and C-termini of the subject sequence, which are not matched/aligned with the query sequence, are considered for the purposes of manually adjusting the percent identity score. That is, only query residue positions outside the farthest N- and C-terminal residues of the subject sequence. For example, a 90 amino acid residue subject sequence is aligned with a 100 residue query sequence to determine percent identity. The deletion occurs at the N-terminus of the subject sequence and therefore, the FASTDB alignment does not show a matching/alignment of the first 10 residues at the N-terminus. The 10 unpaired residues represent 10% of the sequence (number of residues at the N- and C-termini not matched/total number of residues in the query sequence) so 10% is subtracted from the percent identity score calculated by the FASTDB program. If the remaining 90 residues were perfectly matched the final percent identity would be 90%. In another example, a 90 residue subject sequence is compared with a 100 residue query sequence. This time the deletions are internal deletions so there are no residues at the N- or C-termini of the subject sequence which are not matched/aligned with the query. In this case the percent identity calculated by FASTDB is not manually corrected. Once again, only residue positions outside the N- and C-terminal ends of the subject sequence, as displayed in the FASTDB alignment, which are not matched/aligned with the query sequence are manually corrected for. No other manual corrections are made for the purposes of this embodiment.

In addition, Northern blots revealed high levels of expression of 9.5, 4.5, 3.0 and 2.4 Kb transcripts in the heart, placenta and lung, with lower levels found in the liver, pancreas, and skeletal muscle. The 9.5 Kb band appeared to be the predominant mRNA and was especially prominent in the placenta and the heart. By “a cellular response to a hylauronan receptor family ligand” is intended any genotypic, phenotypic, and/or morphologic change to a cell, cell line, tissue, tissue culture or patient that is induced by a hyaluronan receptor family ligand or stimuli (e.g. cytokines, injury, or IL-1b or TNF-a induction). As indicated, such cellular responses include not only normal physiological responses to hyaluronan receptor family ligands or stimuli (e.g. cytokines, injury, or IL-1b or TNF-a induction), but also diseases associated with aberrant Theological function, water homeostasis, and aberrant cell secretion, activation, survival, proliferation, migration and differentiation.

Diseases associated with increased cell survival, include cancers (such as follicular lymphomas, carcinomas with p53 mutations, and hormone-dependent tumors); autoimmune disorders (such as systemic lupus erythematosus and immune-related glomerulonephritis rheumatoid arthritis) and viral infections (such as herpes viruses, pox viruses and adenoviruses), information graft v. host disease, acute graft rejection, and chronic graft rejection.

Further, it is believed that altered levels of the full-length WF-HABP polypeptide can be detected in certain body fluids (e.g., sera, plasma, urine, synovial fluid, bronchoalveolar lavage, and spinal fluid) from mammals with the disorder when compared to sera from mammals of the same species not having the disorder. Thus, the invention provides a diagnostic method useful during diagnosis, which involves assaying the expression level of the gene encoding the full-length WF-HABP polypeptide in mammalian cells or body fluid and comparing the gene expression level with a standard full-length WF-HABP gene expression level, whereby an increase or decrease in the gene expression level over the standard is indicative of the disease.

By “assaying” the expression level of the gene encoding the full-length WF-HABP polypeptide” is intended qualitatively or quantitatively measuring or estimating the level of the full-length WF-HABP polypeptide or the level of the mRNA encoding the full-length WF-HABP polypeptide in a first biological sample either directly (e.g., by determining or estimating absolute polypeptide or mRNA level) or relatively (e.g., by comparing to the full-length WF-HABP polypeptide level or mRNA level in a second biological sample). Preferably, the full-length WF-HABP protein level or mRNA level in the first biological sample is measured or estimated and compared to a standard full-length WF-HABP receptor protein level or mRNA level, the standard being taken from a second biological sample obtained from an individual not having the disease state. As will be appreciated in the art, once a standard full-length WF-HABP receptor protein level or mRNA level is known, it can be used repeatedly as a standard for comparison.

Nucleic acids for diagnosis may be obtained from a biological sample of a subject, such as from blood, urine, saliva, lymph, tissue biopsy or autopsy material, using techniques known in the art. The genomic DNA may be used directly for detection or may be amplified enzymatically by using PCR or other amplification techniques prior to analysis. RNA or cDNA may also be used in similar fashion. Deletions and insertions can be detected by a change in size of the amplified product in comparison to the normal genotype. Point mutations can be identified by hybridizing amplified DNA to labeled full-length WF-HABP nucleotide sequences. Perfectly matched sequences can be distinguished from mismatched duplexes by RNase digestion or by differences in melting temperatures. DNA sequence differences may also be detected by alterations in electrophoretic mobility of DNA fragments in gels, with or without denaturing agents, or by direct DNA sequencing (see, e.g., Myers et al., Science 230:1242 (1985)). Sequence changes at specific locations may also be revealed by nuclease protection assays, such as RNase and S1 protection or the chemical cleavage method (see Cotton et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:4397–4401 (1985)). In another embodiment, an array of oligonucleotides probes comprising full-length WF-HABP polynucleotide sequences or fragments thereof, can be constructed to conduct efficient screening of e.g., genetic mutations. Array technology methods are well known and have general applicability and can be used to address a variety of questions in molecular genetics including gene expression, genetic linkage, and genetic variability (see for example, Chee et al., Science 274:610–613 (1996)).

The epitope(s) or polypeptide portion(s) may be specified as described herein, e.g., by N-terminal and C-terminal positions, by size in contiguous amino acid residues, or listed in the Tables and Figures. Antibodies which specifically bind any epitope or polypeptide of the present invention may also be excluded. Therefore, the present invention includes antibodies that specifically bind polypeptides of the present invention, and allows for the exclusion of the same.

Antibodies of the present invention may act as agonists or antagonists of the polypeptides of the present invention. For example, the present invention includes antibodies which disrupt the receptor/ligand interactions with the polypeptides of the invention either partially or fully. Preferrably, antibodies of the present invention bind an antigenic epitope disclosed herein, or a portion thereof. The invention features both receptor-specific antibodies and ligand-specific antibodies. The invention also features receptor-specific antibodies which do not prevent ligand binding but prevent receptor activation. Receptor activation (i.e., signaling) may be determined by techniques described herein or otherwise known in the art. For example, receptor activation can be determined by detecting the phosphorylation (e.g., tyrosine or serine/threonine) of the receptor or its substrate by immunoprecipitation followed by western blot analysis (for example, as described supra). In specific embodiments, antibodies are provided that inhibit ligand activity or receptor activity by at least 95%, at least 90%, at least 85%, at least 80%, at least 75%, at least 70%, at least 60%, or at least 50% of the activity in absence of the antibody.
The invention also features receptor-specific antibodies which both prevent ligand binding and receptor activation as well as antibodies that recognize the receptor-ligand complex, and, preferably, do not specifically recognize the unbound receptor or the unbound ligand. Likewise, included in the invention are neutralizing antibodies which bind the ligand and prevent binding of the ligand to the receptor, as well as antibodies which bind the ligand, thereby preventing receptor activation, but do not prevent the ligand from binding the receptor. Further included in the invention are antibodies which activate the receptor. These antibodies may act as receptor agonists, i.e., potentiate or activate either all or a subset of the biological activities of the ligand-mediated receptor activation, for example, by inducing dimerization of the receptor. The antibodies may be specified as agonists, antagonists or inverse agonists for biological activities comprising the specific biological activities of the peptides of the invention disclosed herein. The above antibody agonists can be made using methods known in the art. See, e.g., PCT publication WO 96/40281; U.S. Pat. No. 5,811,097; Deng et al., Blood 92(6):1981–1988 (1998); Chen et al., Cancer Res. 58(16):3668–3678 (1998); Harrop et al., J.

Antibodies of the present invention may be used, for example, but not limited to, to purify, detect, and target the polypeptides of the present invention, including both in vitro and in vivo diagnostic and therapeutic methods. For example, the antibodies have use in immunoassays for qualitatively and quantitatively measuring levels of the polypeptides of the present invention in biological samples. See, e.g., Harlow et al., Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 2nd ed. 1988) (incorporated by reference herein in its entirety).
As discussed in more detail below, the antibodies of the present invention may be used either alone or in combination with other compositions. The antibodies may further be recombinantly fused to a heterologous polypeptide at the N- or C-terminus or chemically conjugated (including covalently and non-covalently conjugations) to polypeptides or other compositions. For example, antibodies of the present invention may be recombinantly fused or conjugated to molecules useful as labels in detection assays and effector molecules such as heterologous polypeptides, drugs, radionuclides, or toxins. See, e.g., PCT publications WO 92/08495; WO 91/14438; WO 89/12624; U.S. Pat. No. 5,314,995; and EP 396,387.
The antibodies of the invention include derivatives that are modified, i.e., by the covalent attachment of any type of molecule to the antibody such that covalent attachment does not prevent the antibody from generating an anti-idiotypic response. For example, but not by way of limitation, the antibody derivatives include antibodies that have been modified, e.g., by glycosylation, acetylation, pegylation, phosphylation, amidation, derivatization by known protecting/blocking groups, proteolytic cleavage, linkage to a cellular ligand or other protein, etc. Any of numerous chemical modifications may be carried out by known techniques, including, but not limited to specific chemical cleavage, acetylation, formylation, metabolic synthesis of tunicamycin, etc. Additionally, the derivative may contain one or more non-classical amino acids.
The antibodies of the present invention may be generated by any suitable method known in the art. Polyclonal antibodies to an antigen-of-interest can be produced by various procedures well known in the art. For example, a polypeptide of the invention can be administered to various host animals including, but not limited to, rabbits, mice, rats, etc. to induce the production of sera containing polyclonal antibodies specific for the antigen. Various adjuvants may be used to increase the immunological response, depending on the host species, and include but are not limited to, Freund's (complete and incomplete), mineral gels such as aluminum hydroxide, surface active substances such as lysolecithin, pluronic polyols, polyanions, peptides, oil emulsions, keyhole limpet hemocyanins, dinitrophenol, and potentially useful human adjuvants such as BCG (bacille Calmette-Guerin) and corynebacterium parvum. Such adjuvants are also well known in the art.
Monoclonal antibodies can be prepared using a wide variety of techniques known in the art including the use of hybridoma, recombinant, and phage display technologies, or a combination thereof. For example, monoclonal antibodies can be produced using hybridoma techniques including those known in the art and taught, for example, in Harlow et al., Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 2nd ed. 1988); Hammerling, et al., in: Monoclonal Antibodies and T-Cell Hybridomas 563–681 (Elsevier, N.Y., 1981) (said references incorporated by reference in their entireties). The term “monoclonal antibody” as used herein is not limited to antibodies produced through hybridoma technology. The term “monoclonal antibody” refers to an antibody that is derived from a single clone, including any eukaryotic, prokaryotic, or phage clone, and not the method by which it is produced.
Methods for producing and screening for specific antibodies using hybridoma technology are routine and well known in the art and are discussed in detail in the Examples (e.g., Example 16). In a non-limiting example, mice can be immunized with a polypeptide of the invention or a cell expressing such peptide. Once an immune response is detected, e.g., antibodies specific for the antigen are detected in the mouse serum, the mouse spleen is harvested and splenocytes isolated. The splenocytes are then fused by well known techniques to any suitable myeloma cells, for example cells from cell line SP20 available from the ATCC. Hybridomas are selected and cloned by limited dilution. The hybridoma clones are then assayed by methods known in the art for cells that secrete antibodies capable of binding a polypeptide of the invention. Ascites fluid, which generally contains high levels of antibodies, can be generated by immunizing mice with positive hybridoma clones.
Accordingly, the present invention provides methods of generating monoclonal antibodies as well as antibodies produced by the method comprising culturing a hybridoma cell secreting an antibody of the invention wherein, preferably, the hybridoma is generated by fusing splenocytes isolated from a mouse immunized with an antigen of the invention with myeloma cells and then screening the hybridomas resulting from the fusion for hybridoma clones that secrete an antibody able to bind a polypeptide of the invention.
Antibody fragments which recognize specific epitopes may be generated by known techniques. For example, Fab and F(ab′)2 fragments of the invention may be produced by proteolytic cleavage of immunoglobulin molecules, using enzymes such as papain (to produce Fab fragments) or pepsin (to produce F(ab′)2 fragments). F(ab′)2 fragments contain the variable region, the light chain constant region and the CH1 domain of the heavy chain.
For example, the antibodies of the present invention can also be generated using various phage display methods known in the art. In phage display methods, functional antibody domains are displayed on the surface of phage particles which carry the polynucleotide sequences encoding them. In a particular embodiment, such phage can be utilized to display antigen binding domains expressed from a repertoire or combinatorial antibody library (e.g., human or murine). Phage expressing an antigen binding domain that binds the antigen of interest can be selected or identified with antigen, e.g., using labeled antigen or antigen bound or captured to a solid surface or bead. Phage used in these methods are typically filamentous phage including fd and M13 binding domains expressed from phage with Fab, Fv or disulfide stabilized Fv antibody domains recombinantly fused to either the phage gene III or gene VIII protein. Examples of phage display methods that can be used to make the antibodies of the present invention include those disclosed in Brinkman et al., J. Immunol. Methods 182:41–50 (1995); Ames et al., J. Immunol. Methods 184:177–186 (1995); Kettleborough et al., Eur. J. Immunol. 24:952–958 (1994); Persic et al., Gene 187 9–18 (1997); Burton et al., Advances in Immunology 57:191–280 (1994); PCT application No. PCT/GB91/01134; PCT publications WO 90/02809; WO 91/10737; WO 92/01047; WO 92/18619; WO 93/11236; WO 95/15982; WO 95/20401; and U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,698,426; 5,223,409; 5,403,484; 5,580,717; 5,427,908; 5,750,753; 5,821,047; 5,571,698; 5,427,908; 5,516,637; 5,780,225; 5,658,727; 5,733,743 and 5,969,108; each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
As described in the above references, after phage selection, the antibody coding regions from the phage can be isolated and used to generate whole antibodies, including human antibodies, or any other desired antigen binding fragment, and expressed in any desired host, including mammalian cells, insect cells, plant cells, yeast, and bacteria, e.g., as described in detail below. For example, techniques to recombinantly produce Fab, Fab′ and F(ab′)2 fragments can also be employed using methods known in the art such as those disclosed in PCT publication WO 92/22324; Mullinax et al., BioTechniques 12(6):864–869 (1992); and Sawai et al., AJRI 34:26–34 (1995); and Better et al., Science 240:1041–1043 (1988) (said references incorporated by reference in their entireties).
Examples of techniques which can be used to produce single-chain Fvs and antibodies include those described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,946,778 and 5,258,498; Huston et al., Methods in Enzymology 203:46–88 (1991); Shu et al., PNAS 90:7995–7999 (1993); and Skerra et al., Science 240:1038–1040 (1988). For some uses, including in vivo use of antibodies in humans and in vitro detection assays, it may be preferable to use chimeric, humanized, or human antibodies. A chimeric antibody is a molecule in which different portions of the antibody are derived from different animal species, such as antibodies having a variable region derived from a murine monoclonal antibody and a human immunoglobulin constant region. Methods for producing chimeric antibodies are known in the art. See e.g., Morrison, Science 229:1202 (1985); Oi et al., BioTechniques 4:214 (1986); Gillies et al., (1989) J. Immunol. Methods 125:191–202; U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,807,715; 4,816,567; and 4,816397, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. Humanized antibodies are antibody molecules from non-human species antibody that binds the desired antigen having one or more complementarity determining regions (CDRs) from the non-human species and a framework regions from a human immunoglobulin molecule. Often, framework residues in the human framework regions will be substituted with the corresponding residue from the CDR donor antibody to alter, preferably improve, antigen binding. These framework substitutions are identified by methods well known in the art, e.g., by modeling of the interactions of the CDR and framework residues to identify framework residues important for antigen binding and sequence comparison to identify unusual framework residues at particular positions. (See, e.g., Queen et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,585,089; Riechmann et al., Nature 332:323 (1988), which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.) Antibodies can be humanized using a variety of techniques known in the art including, for example, CDR-grafting (EP 239,400; PCT publication WO 91/09967; U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,225,539; 5,530,101; and 5,585,089), veneering or resurfacing (EP 592,106; EP 519,596; Padlan, Molecular Immunology 28(4/5):489–498 (1991); Studnicka et al., Protein Engineering 7(6):805–814 (1994); Roguska. et al., PNAS 91:969–973 (1994)), and chain shuffling (U.S. Pat. No. 5,565,332).
Completely human antibodies are particularly desirable for therapeutic treatment of human patients. Human antibodies can be made by a variety of methods known in the art including phage display methods described above using antibody libraries derived from human immunoglobulin sequences. See also, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,444,887 and 4,716,111; and PCT publications WO 98/46645, WO 98/50433, WO 98/24893, WO 98/16654, WO 96/34096, WO 96/33735, and WO 91/10741; each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
Human antibodies can also be produced using transgenic mice which are incapable of expressing functional endogenous immunoglobulins, but which can express human immunoglobulin genes. For example, the human heavy and light chain immunoglobulin gene complexes may be introduced randomly or by homologous recombination into mouse embryonic stem cells. Alternatively, the human variable region, constant region, and diversity region may be introduced into mouse embryonic stem cells in addition to the human heavy and light chain genes. The mouse heavy and light chain immunoglobulin genes may be rendered non-functional separately or simultaneously with the introduction of human immunoglobulin loci by homologous recombination. In particular, homozygous deletion of the JH region prevents endogenous antibody production. The modified embryonic stem cells are expanded and microinjected into blastocysts to produce chimeric mice. The chimeric mice are then bred to produce homozygous offspring which express human antibodies. The transgenic mice are immunized in the normal fashion with a selected antigen, e.g., all or a portion of a polypeptide of the invention. Monoclonal antibodies directed against the antigen can be obtained from the immunized, transgenic mice using conventional hybridoma technology. The human immunoglobulin transgenes harbored by the transgenic mice rearrange during B cell differentiation, and subsequently undergo class switching and somatic mutation. Thus, using such a technique, it is possible to produce therapeutically useful IgG, IgA, IgM and IgE antibodies. For an overview of this technology for producing human antibodies, see Lonberg and Huszar, Int. Rev. Immunol. 13:65–93 (1995). For a detailed discussion of this technology for producing human antibodies and human monoclonal antibodies and protocols for producing such antibodies, see, e.g., PCT publications WO 98/24893; WO 92/01047; WO 96/34096; WO 96/33735; European Patent No. 0 598 877; U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,413,923; 5,625,126; 5,633,425; 5,569,825; 5,661,016; 5,545,806; 5,814,318; 5,885,793; 5,916,771; and 5,939,598, which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety. In addition, companies such as Abgenix, Inc. (Freemont, Calif.) and Genpharm (San Jose, Calif.) can be engaged to provide human antibodies directed against a selected antigen using technology similar to that described above.
Completely human antibodies which recognize a selected epitope can be generated using a technique referred to as “guided selection.” In this approach a selected non-human monoclonal antibody, e.g., a mouse antibody, is used to guide the selection of a completely human antibody recognizing the same epitope. (Jespers et al., Bio/technology 12:899–903 (1988)).
Further, antibodies to the polypeptides of the invention can, in turn, be utilized to generate anti-idiotype antibodies that “mimic” polypeptides of the invention using techniques well known to those skilled in the art. (See, e.g., Greenspan & Bona, FASEB J. 7(5):437–444; (1989) and Nissinoff, J. Immunol. 147(8):2429–2438 (1991)). For example, antibodies which bind to and competitively inhibit polypeptide multimerization and/or binding of a polypeptide of the invention to a ligand can be used to generate anti-idiotypes that “mimic” the polypeptide multimerization and/or binding domain and, as a consequence, bind to and neutralize polypeptide and/or its ligand. Such neutralizing anti-idiotypes or Fab fragments of such anti-idiotypes can be used in therapeutic regimens to neutralize polypeptide ligand. For example, such anti-idiotypic antibodies can be used to bind a polypeptide of the invention and/or to bind its ligands/receptors, and thereby block its biological activity.
Polynucleotides Encoding Antibodies
The invention further provides polynucleotides comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding an antibody of the invention and fragments thereof. The invention also encompasses polynucleotides that hybridize under stringent or lower stringency hybridization conditions, e.g., as defined supra, to polynucleotides that encode an antibody, preferably, that specifically binds to a polypeptide of the invention, preferably, an antibody that binds to a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NOs: 2,5,8, or 11.
The polynucleotides may be obtained, and the nucleotide sequence of the polynucleotides determined, by any method known in the art. For example, if the nucleotide sequence of the antibody is known, a polynucleotide encoding the antibody may be assembled from chemically synthesized oligonucleotides (e.g., as described in Kutmeier et al., BioTechniques 17:242 (1994)), which, briefly, involves the synthesis of overlapping oligonucleotides containing portions of the sequence encoding the antibody, annealing and ligating of those oligonucleotides, and then amplification of the ligated oligonucleotides by PCR.
Alternatively, a polynucleotide encoding an antibody may be generated from nucleic acid from a suitable source. If a clone containing a nucleic acid encoding a particular antibody is not available, but the sequence of the antibody molecule is known, a nucleic acid encoding the immunoglobulin may be chemically synthesized or obtained from a suitable source (e.g., an antibody cDNA library, or a cDNA library generated from, or nucleic acid, preferably poly A+ RNA, isolated from, any tissue or cells expressing the antibody, such as hybridoma cells selected to express an antibody of the invention) by PCR amplification using synthetic primers hybridizable to the 3′ and 5′ ends of the sequence or by cloning using an oligonucleotide probe specific for the particular gene sequence to identify, e.g., a cDNA clone from a cDNA library that encodes the antibody. Amplified nucleic acids generated by PCR may then be cloned into replicable cloning vectors using any method well known in the art.
Once the nucleotide sequence and corresponding amino acid sequence of the antibody is determined, the nucleotide sequence of the antibody may be manipulated using methods well known in the art for the manipulation of nucleotide sequences, e.g., recombinant DNA techniques, site directed mutagenesis, PCR, etc. (see, for example, the techniques described in Sambrook et al., 1990, Molecular Cloning, A Laboratory Manual, 2d Ed., Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y. and Ausubel et al., eds., 1998, Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley & Sons, NY, which are both incorporated by reference herein in their entireties), to generate antibodies having a different amino acid sequence, for example to create amino acid substitutions, deletions, and/or insertions.
In a specific embodiment, the amino acid sequence of the heavy and/or light chain variable domains may be inspected to identify the sequences of the complementarity determining regions (CDRs) by methods that are well know in the art, e.g., by comparison to known amino acid sequences of other heavy and light chain variable regions to determine the regions of sequence hypervariability. Using routine recombinant DNA techniques, one or more of the CDRs may be inserted within framework regions, e.g., into human framework regions to humanize a non-human antibody, as described supra. The framework regions may be naturally occurring or consensus framework regions, and preferably human framework regions (see, e.g., Chothia et al., J. Mol. Biol. 278: 457–479 (1998) for a listing of human framework regions). Preferably, the polynucleotide generated by the combination of the framework regions and CDRs encodes an antibody that specifically binds a polypeptide of the invention. Preferably, as discussed supra, one or more amino acid substitutions may be made within the framework regions, and, preferably, the amino acid substitutions improve binding of the antibody to its antigen. Additionally, such methods may be used to make amino acid substitutions or deletions of one or more variable region cysteine residues participating in an intrachain disulfide bond to generate antibody molecules lacking one or more intrachain disulfide bonds. Other alterations to the polynucleotide are encompassed by the present invention and within the skill of the art.
In addition, techniques developed for the production of “chimeric antibodies” (Morrison et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 81:851–855 (1984); Neuberger et al., Nature 312:604–608 (1984); Takeda et al., Nature 314:452–454 (1985)) by splicing genes from a mouse antibody molecule of appropriate antigen specificity together with genes from a human antibody molecule of appropriate biological activity can be used. As described supra, a chimeric antibody is a molecule in which different portions are derived from different animal species, such as those having a variable region derived from a murine mAb and a human immunoglobulin constant region, e.g., humanized antibodies.
Alternatively, techniques described for the production of single chain antibodies (U.S. Pat. No. 4,946,778; Bird, Science 242:423–42 (1988); Huston et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:5879–5883 (1988); and Ward et al., Nature 334:544–54 (1989)) can be adapted to produce single chain antibodies. Single chain antibodies are formed by linking the heavy and light chain fragments of the Fv region via an amino acid bridge, resulting in a single chain polypeptide. Techniques for the assembly of functional Fv fragments in E. coli may also be used (Skerra et al., Science 242:1038–1041 (1988)).
Methods of Producing Antibodies
The antibodies of the invention can be produced by any method known in the art for the synthesis of antibodies, in particular, by chemical synthesis or preferably, by recombinant expression techniques.
Recombinant expression of an antibody of the invention, or fragment, derivative or analog thereof, (e.g., a heavy or light chain of an antibody of the invention or a single chain antibody of the invention), requires construction of an expression vector containing a polynucleotide that encodes the antibody. Once a polynucleotide encoding an antibody molecule or a heavy or light chain of an antibody, or portion thereof (preferably containing the heavy or light chain variable domain), of the invention has been obtained, the vector for the production of the antibody molecule may be produced by recombinant DNA technology using techniques well known in the art. Thus, methods for preparing a protein by expressing a polynucleotide containing an antibody encoding nucleotide sequence are described herein. Methods which are well known to those skilled in the art can be used to construct expression vectors containing antibody coding sequences and appropriate transcriptional and translational control signals. These methods include, for example, in vitro recombinant DNA techniques, synthetic techniques, and in vivo genetic recombination. The invention, thus, provides replicable vectors comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding an antibody molecule of the invention, or a heavy or light chain thereof, or a heavy or light chain variable domain, operably linked to a promoter. Such vectors may include the nucleotide sequence encoding the constant region of the antibody molecule (see, e.g., PCT Publication WO 86/05807; PCT Publication WO 89/01036; and U.S. Pat. No. 5,122,464) and the variable domain of the antibody may be cloned into such a vector for expression of the entire heavy or light chain.
The expression vector is transferred to a host cell by conventional techniques and the transfected cells are then cultured by conventional techniques to produce an antibody of the invention. Thus, the invention includes host cells containing a polynucleotide encoding an antibody of the invention, or a heavy or light chain thereof, or a single chain antibody of the invention, operably linked to a heterologous promoter. In preferred embodiments for the expression of double-chained antibodies, vectors encoding both the heavy and light chains may be co-expressed in the host cell for expression of the entire immunoglobulin molecule, as detailed below.
A variety of host-expression vector systems may be utilized to express the antibody molecules of the invention. Such host-expression systems represent vehicles by which the coding sequences of interest may be produced and subsequently purified, but also represent cells which may, when transformed or transfected with the appropriate nucleotide coding sequences, express an antibody molecule of the invention in situ. These include but are not limited to microorganisms such as bacteria (e.g., E. coli, B. subtilis) transformed with recombinant bacteriophage DNA, plasmid DNA or cosmid DNA expression vectors containing antibody coding sequences; yeast (e.g., Saccharomyces, Pichia) transformed with recombinant yeast expression vectors containing antibody coding sequences; insect cell systems infected with recombinant virus expression vectors (e.g., baculovirus) containing antibody coding sequences; plant cell systems infected with recombinant virus expression vectors (e.g., cauliflower mosaic virus, CaMV; tobacco mosaic virus, TMV) or transformed with recombinant plasmid expression vectors (e.g., Ti plasmid) containing antibody coding sequences; or mammalian cell systems (e.g., COS, CHO, BHK, 293, 3T3 cells) harboring recombinant expression constructs containing promoters derived from the genome of mammalian cells (e.g., metallothionein promoter) or from mammalian viruses (e.g., the adenovirus late promoter; the vaccinia virus 7.5K promoter). Preferably, bacterial cells such as Escherichia coli, and more preferably, eukaryotic cells, especially for the expression of whole recombinant antibody molecule, are used for the expression of a recombinant antibody molecule. For example, mammalian cells such as Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO), in conjunction with a vector such as the major intermediate early gene promoter element from human cytomegalovirus is an effective expression system for antibodies (Foecking et al., Gene 45:101 (1986); Cockett et al., Bio/Technology 8:2 (1990)).
In bacterial systems, a number of expression vectors may be advantageously selected depending upon the use intended for the antibody molecule being expressed. For example, when a large quantity of such a protein is to be produced, for the generation of pharmaceutical compositions of an antibody molecule, vectors which direct the expression of high levels of fusion protein products that are readily purified may be desirable. Such vectors include, but are not limited, to the E. coli expression vector pUR278 (Ruther et al., EMBO J. 2:1791 (1983)), in which the antibody coding sequence may be ligated individually into the vector in frame with the lac Z coding region so that a fusion protein is produced; pIN vectors (Inouye & Inouye, Nucleic Acids Res. 13:3101–3109 (1985); Van Heeke & Schuster, J. Biol. Chem. 24:5503–5509 (1989)); and the like. pGEX vectors may also be used to express foreign polypeptides as fusion proteins with glutathione S-transferase (GST). In general, such fusion proteins are soluble and can easily be purified from lysed cells by adsorption and binding to matrix glutathione-agarose beads followed by elution in the presence of free glutathione. The pGEX vectors are designed to include thrombin or factor Xa protease cleavage sites so that the cloned target gene product can be released from the GST moiety.
In an insect system, Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcNPV) is used as a vector to express foreign genes. The virus grows in Spodoptera frugiperda cells. The antibody coding sequence may be cloned individually into non-essential regions (for example the polyhedrin gene) of the virus and placed under control of an AcNPV promoter (for example the polyhedrin promoter).
In mammalian host cells, a number of viral-based expression systems may be utilized. In cases where an adenovirus is used as an expression vector, the antibody coding sequence of interest may be ligated to an adenovirus transcription/translation control complex, e.g., the late promoter and tripartite leader sequence. This chimeric gene may then be inserted in the adenovirus genome by in vitro or in vivo recombination. Insertion in a non-essential region of the viral genome (e.g., region E1 or E3) will result in a recombinant virus that is viable and capable of expressing the antibody molecule in infected hosts. (e.g., see Logan & Shenk, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 81:355–359 (1984)). Specific initiation signals may also be required for efficient translation of inserted antibody coding sequences. These signals include the ATG initiation codon and adjacent sequences. Furthermore, the initiation codon must be in phase with the reading frame of the desired coding sequence to ensure translation of the entire insert. These exogenous translational control signals and initiation codons can be of a variety of origins, both natural and synthetic. The efficiency of expression may be enhanced by the inclusion of appropriate transcription enhancer elements, transcription terminators, etc. (see Bittner et al., Methods in Enzymol. 153:51–544 (1987)).
In addition, a host cell strain may be chosen which modulates the expression of the inserted sequences, or modifies and processes the gene product in the specific fashion desired. Such modifications (e.g., glycosylation) and processing (e.g., cleavage) of protein products may be important for the function of the protein. Different host cells have characteristic and specific mechanisms for the post-translational processing and modification of proteins and gene products. Appropriate cell lines or host systems can be chosen to ensure the correct modification and processing of the foreign protein expressed. To this end, eukaryotic host cells which possess the cellular machinery for proper processing of the primary transcript, glycosylation, and phosphorylation of the gene product may be used. Such mammalian host cells include but are not limited to CHO, VERY, BHK, Hela, COS, MDCK, 293, 3T3, W138, and in particular, breast cancer cell lines such as, for example, BT483, Hs578T, HTB2, BT20 and T47D, and normal mammary gland cell line such as, for example, CRL7030 and Hs578Bst.
For long-term, high-yield production of recombinant proteins, stable expression is preferred. For example, cell lines which stably express the antibody molecule may be engineered. Rather than using expression vectors which contain viral origins of replication, host cells can be transformed with DNA controlled by appropriate expression control elements (e.g., promoter, enhancer, sequences, transcription terminators, polyadenylation sites, etc.), and a selectable marker. Following the introduction of the foreign DNA, engineered cells may be allowed to grow for 1–2 days in an enriched media, and then are switched to a selective media. The selectable marker in the recombinant plasmid confers resistance to the selection and allows cells to stably integrate the plasmid into their chromosomes and grow to form foci which in turn can be cloned and expanded into cell lines. This method may advantageously be used to engineer cell lines which express the antibody molecule. Such engineered cell lines may be particularly useful in screening and evaluation of compounds that interact directly or indirectly with the antibody molecule.
A number of selection systems may be used, including but not limited to the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (Wigler et al., Cell 11:223 (1977)), hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (Szybalska & Szybalski, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 48:202 (1992)), and adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (Lowy et al., Cell 22:817 (1980)) genes can be employed in tk-, hgprt- or aprt-cells, respectively. Also, antimetabolite resistance can be used as the basis of selection for the following genes: dhfr, which confers resistance to methotrexate (Wigler et al., Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 77:357 (1980); O'Hare et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 78:1527 (1981)); gpt, which confers resistance to mycophenolic acid (Mulligan & Berg, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 78:2072 (1981)); neo, which confers resistance to the aminoglycoside G-418 Clinical Pharmacy 12:488–505; Wu and Wu, Biotherapy 3:87–95 (1991); Tolstoshev, Ann. Rev. Pharmacol. Toxicol. 32:573–596 (1993); Mulligan, Science 260:926–932 (1993); and Morgan and Anderson, Ann. Rev. Biochem. 62:191–217 (1993); May, 1993, TIB TECH 11(5):155–215); and hygro, which confers resistance to hygromycin (Santerre et al., Gene 30:147 (1984)). Methods commonly known in the art of recombinant DNA technology may be routinely applied to select the desired recombinant clone, and such methods are described, for example, in Ausubel et al. (eds.), Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley & Sons, NY (1993); Kriegler, Gene Transfer and Expression, A Laboratory Manual, Stockton Press, NY (1990); and in Chapters 12 and 13, Dracopoli et al. (eds), Current Protocols in Human Genetics, John Wiley & Sons, NY (1994); Colberre-Garapin et al., J. Mol. Biol. 150:1 (1981), which are incorporated by reference herein in their entireties.
The expression levels of an antibody molecule can be increased by vector amplification (for a review, see Bebbington and Hentschel, The use of vectors based on gene amplification for the expression of cloned genes in mammalian cells in DNA cloning, Vol. 3. (Academic Press, New York, 1987)). When a marker in the vector system expressing antibody is amplifiable, increase in the level of inhibitor present in culture of host cell will increase the number of copies of the marker gene. Since the amplified region is associated with the antibody gene, production of the antibody will also increase (Crouse et al., Mol. Cell. Biol. 3:257 (1983)).
The host cell may be co-transfected with two expression vectors of the invention, the first vector encoding a heavy chain derived polypeptide and the second vector encoding a light chain derived polypeptide. The two vectors may contain identical selectable markers which enable equal expression of heavy and light chain polypeptides. Alternatively, a single vector may be used which encodes, and is capable of expressing, both heavy and light chain polypeptides. In such situations, the light chain should be placed before the heavy chain to avoid an excess of toxic free heavy chain (Proudfoot, Nature 322:52 (1986); Kohler, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 77:2197 (1980)). The coding sequences for the heavy and light chains may comprise cDNA or genomic DNA.
Once an antibody molecule of the invention has been produced by an animal, chemically synthesized, or recombinantly expressed, it may be purified by any method known in the art for purification of an immunoglobulin molecule, for example, by chromatography (e.g., ion exchange, affinity, particularly by affinity for the specific antigen after Protein A, and sizing column chromatography), centrifugation, differential solubility, or by any other standard technique for the purification of proteins. In addition, the antibodies of the present invention or fragments thereof can be fused to heterologous polypeptide sequences described herein or otherwise known in the art, to facilitate purification.
The present invention encompasses antibodies recombinantly fused or chemically conjugated (including both covalently and non-covalently conjugations) to a polypeptide (or portion thereof, preferably at least 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 or 100 amino acids of the polypeptide) of the present invention to generate fusion proteins. The fusion does not necessarily need to be direct, but may occur through linker sequences. The antibodies may be specific for antigens other than polypeptides (or portion thereof, preferably at least 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 or 100 amino acids of the polypeptide) of the present invention. For example, antibodies may be used to target the polypeptides of the present invention to particular cell types, either in vitro or in vivo, by fusing or conjugating the polypeptides of the present invention to antibodies specific for particular cell surface receptors. Antibodies fused or conjugated to the polypeptides of the present invention may also be used in in vitro immunoassays and purification methods using methods known in the art. See e.g., Harbor et al., supra, and PCT publication WO 93/21232; EP 439,095; Naramura et al., Immunol. Lett. 39:91–99 (1994); U.S. Pat. No. 5,474,981; Gillies et al., PNAS 89:1428–1432 (1992); Fell et al., J. Immunol. 146:2446–2452(1991), which are incorporated by reference in their entireties.
The present invention further includes compositions comprising the polypeptides of the present invention fused or conjugated to antibody domains other than the variable regions. For example, the polypeptides of the present invention may be fused or conjugated to an antibody Fc region, or portion thereof. The antibody portion fused to a polypeptide of the present invention may comprise the constant region, hinge region, CH1 domain, CH2 domain, and CH3 domain or any combination of whole domains or portions thereof. The polypeptides may also be fused or conjugated to the above antibody portions to form multimers. For example, Fc portions fused to the polypeptides of the present invention can form dimers through disulfide bonding between the Fc portions. Higher multimeric forms can be made by fusing the polypeptides to portions of IgA and IgM. Methods for fusing or conjugating the polypeptides of the present invention to antibody portions are known in the art. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,336,603; 5,622,929; 5,359,046; 5,349,053; 5,447,851; 5,112,946; EP 307,434; EP 367,166; PCT publications WO 96/04388; WO 91/06570; Ashkenazi et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 88:10535–10539 (1991); Zheng et al., J. Immunol. 154:5590–5600 (1995); and Vil et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 89:11337–11341(1992) (said references incorporated by reference in their entireties).
As discussed, supra, the polypeptides corresponding to a polypeptide, polypeptide fragment, or a variant of SEQ ID NO: 2, 5, 8, or 11 may be fused or conjugated to the above antibody portions to increase the in vivo half life of the polypeptides or for use in immunoassays using methods known in the art. Further, the polypeptides corresponding to SEQ ID NO: 2, 5, 8, or 11 may be fused or conjugated to the above antibody portions to facilitate purification. One reported example describes chimeric proteins consisting of the first two domains of the human CD-4-polypeptide and various domains of the constant regions of the heavy or light chains of mammalian immunoglobulins. (EP 394,827; Traunecker et al., Nature 331:84–86 (1988). The polypeptides of the present invention fused or conjugated to an antibody having disulfide-linked dimeric structures (due to the IgG) may also be more efficient in binding and neutralizing other molecules, than the monomeric secreted protein or protein fragment alone. (Fountoulakis et al., J. Biochem. 270:3958–3964 (1995)). In many cases, the Fc part in a fusion protein is beneficial in therapy and diagnosis, and thus can result in, for example, improved pharmacokinetic properties. (EP A 232,262). Alternatively, deleting the Fc part after the fusion protein has been expressed, detected, and purified, would be desired. For example, the Fc portion may hinder therapy and diagnosis if the fusion protein is used as an antigen for immunizations. In drug discovery, for example, human proteins, such as hIL-5, have been fused with Fc portions for the purpose of high-throughput screening assays to identify antagonists of hIL-5. (See, Bennett et al., J. Molecular Recognition 8:52–58 (1995); Johanson et al., J. Biol. Chem. 270:9459–9471 (1995).
Moreover, the antibodies or fragments thereof of the present invention can be fused to marker sequences, such as a peptide to facilitate purification. In preferred embodiments, the marker amino acid sequence is a hexa-histidine peptide, such as the tag provided in a pQE vector (QIAGEN, Inc., 9259 Eton Avenue, Chatsworth, Calif., 91311), among others, many of which are commercially available. As described in Gentz et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 86:821–824 (1989), for instance, hexa-histidine provides for convenient purification of the fusion protein. Other peptide tags useful for purification include, but are not limited to, the “HA” tag, which corresponds to an epitope derived from the influenza hemagglutinin protein (Wilson et al., Cell 37:767 (1984)) and the “flag” tag.
The present invention further encompasses antibodies or fragments thereof conjugated to a diagnostic or therapeutic agent. The antibodies can be used diagnostically to, for example, monitor the development or progression of a tumor as part of a clinical testing procedure to, e.g., determine the efficacy of a given treatment regimen. Detection can be facilitated by coupling the antibody to a detectable substance. Examples of detectable substances include various enzymes, prosthetic groups, fluorescent materials, luminescent materials, bioluminescent materials, radioactive materials, positron emitting metals using various positron emission tomographies, and nonradioactive paramagnetic metal ions. The detectable substance may be coupled or conjugated either directly to the antibody (or fragment thereof) or indirectly, through an intermediate (such as, for example, a linker known in the art) using techniques known in the art. See, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,741,900 for metal ions which can be conjugated to antibodies for use as diagnostics according to the present invention. Examples of suitable enzymes include horseradish peroxidase, alkaline phosphatase, beta-galactosidase, or acetylcholinesterase; examples of suitable prosthetic group complexes include streptavidin/biotin and avidin/biotin; examples of suitable fluorescent materials include umbelliferone, fluorescein, fluorescein isothiocyanate, rhodamine, dichlorotriazinylamine fluorescein, dansyl chloride or phycoerythrin; an example of a luminescent material includes luminol; examples of bioluminescent materials include luciferase, luciferin, and aequorin; and examples of suitable radioactive material include 125I, 311I, 111In or 99Tc.
Further, an antibody or fragment thereof may be conjugated to a therapeutic moiety such as a cytotoxin, e.g., a cytostatic or cytocidal agent, a therapeutic agent or a radioactive metal ion, e.g., alpha-emitters such as, for example, 213Bi. A cytotoxin or cytotoxic agent includes any agent that is detrimental to cells. Examples include paclitaxol, cytochalasin B, gramicidin D, ethidium bromide, emetine, mitomycin, etoposide, tenoposide, vincristine, vinblastine, colchicin, doxorubicin, daunorubicin, dihydroxy anthracin dione, mitoxantrone, mithramycin, actinomycin D, 1-dehydrotestosterone, glucocorticoids, procaine, tetracaine, lidocaine, propranolol, and puromycin and analogs or homologs thereof. Therapeutic agents include, but are not limited to, antimetabolites (e.g., methotrexate, 6-mercaptopurine, 6-thioguanine, cytarabine, 5-fluorouracil decarbazine), alkylating agents (e.g., mechlorethamine, thioepa chlorambucil, melphalan, carmustine (BSNU) and lomustine (CCNU), cyclothosphamide, busulfan, dibromomannitol, streptozotocin, mitomycin C, and cis-dichlorodiamine platinum (II) (DDP) cisplatin), anthracyclines (e.g., daunorubicin (formerly daunomycin) and doxorubicin), antibiotics (e.g., dactinomycin (formerly actinomycin), bleomycin, mithramycin, and anthramycin (AMC)), and anti-mitotic agents (e.g., vincristine and vinblastine).
The conjugates of the invention can be used for modifying a given biological response, the therapeutic agent or drug moiety is not to be construed as limited to classical chemical therapeutic agents. For example, the drug moiety may be a protein or polypeptide possessing a desired biological activity. Such proteins may include, for example, a toxin such as abrin, ricin A, pseudomonas exotoxin, or diphtheria toxin; a protein such as tumor necrosis factor, a-interferon, B-interferon, nerve growth factor, platelet derived growth factor, tissue plasminogen activator, an apoptotic agent, e.g., TNF-alpha, TNF-beta, AIM I (See, International Publication No. WO 97/33899), AIM II (See, International Publication No. WO 97/34911), Fas Ligand (Takahashi et al., Int. Immunol., 6:1567–1574 (1994)), VEGI (See, International Publication No. WO 99/23105), a thrombotic agent or an anti-angiogenic agent, e.g., angiostatin or endostatin; or, biological response modifiers such as, for example, lymphokines, interleukin-1 (“IL-1”), interleukin-2 (“IL-2”), interleukin-6 (“IL-6”), granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (“GM-CSF”), granulocyte colony stimulating factor (“G-CSF”), or other growth factors.
Antibodies may also be attached to solid supports, which are particularly useful for immunoassays or purification of the target antigen. Such solid supports include, but are not limited to, glass, cellulose, polyacrylamide, nylon, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride or polypropylene.
Techniques for conjugating such therapeutic moiety to antibodies are well known, see, e.g., Amon et al., “Monoclonal Antibodies For Immunotargeting Of Drugs In Cancer Therapy”, in Monoclonal Antibodies And Cancer Therapy, Reisfeld et al. (eds.), pp. 243–56 (Alan R. Liss, Inc. 1985); Hellstrom et al., “Antibodies For Drug Delivery”, in Controlled Drug Delivery (2nd Ed.), Robinson et al. (eds.), pp. 623–53 (Marcel Dekker, Inc. 1987); Thorpe, “Antibody Carriers Of Cytotoxic Agents In Cancer Therapy: A Review”, in Monoclonal Antibodies'84: Biological And Clinical Applications, Pinchera et al. (eds.), pp. 475–506 (1985); “Analysis, Results, And Future Prospective Of The Therapeutic Use Of Radiolabeled Antibody In Cancer Therapy”, in Monoclonal Antibodies For Cancer Detection And Therapy, Baldwin et al.

Alternatively, an antibody can be conjugated to a second antibody to form an antibody heteroconjugate as described by Segal in U.S. Pat. No. 4,676,980, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
An antibody, with or without a therapeutic moiety conjugated to it, administered alone or in combination with cytotoxic factor(s) and/or cytokine(s) can be used as a therapeutic.
Immunophenotyping
The antibodies of the invention may be utilized for immunophenotyping of cell lines and biological samples. The translation product of the gene of the present invention may be useful as a cell specific marker, or more specifically as a cellular marker that is differentially expressed at various stages of differentiation and/or maturation of particular cell types. Monoclonal antibodies directed against a specific epitope, or combination of epitopes, will allow for the screening of cellular populations expressing the marker. Various techniques can be utilized using monoclonal antibodies to screen for cellular populations expressing the marker(s), and include-magnetic separation using antibody-coated magnetic beads, “panning” with antibody attached to a solid matrix (i.e., plate), and flow cytometry (See, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,985,660; and Morrison et al., Cell, 96:737–49 (1999)).
These techniques allow for the screening of particular populations of cells, such as might be found with hematological malignancies (i.e. minimal residual disease (MRD) in acute leukemic patients) and “non-self” cells in transplantations to prevent Graft-versus-Host Disease (GVHD). Alternatively, these techniques allow for the screening of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells capable of undergoing proliferation and/or differentiation, as might be found in human umbilical cord blood.
Assays For Antibody Binding
The antibodies of the invention may be assayed for immunospecific binding by any method known in the art. The immunoassays which can be used include but are not limited to competitive and non-competitive assay systems using techniques such as western blots, radioimmunoassays, ELISA (enzyme linked immunosorbent assay), “sandwich” immunoassays, immunoprecipitation assays, precipitin reactions, gel diffusion precipitin reactions, immunodiffusion assays, agglutination assays, complement-fixation assays, immunoradiometric assays, fluorescent immunoassays, protein A immunoassays, to name but a few. Such assays are routine and well known in the art (see, e.g., Ausubel et al, eds, 1994, Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, Vol. 1, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety). Exemplary immunoassays are described briefly below (but are not intended by way of limitation).
Immunoprecipitation protocols generally comprise lysing a population of cells in a lysis buffer such as RIPA buffer (1% NP-40 or Triton X-100, 1% sodium deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS, 0.15 M NaCl, 0.01 M sodium phosphate at pH 7.2, 1% Trasylol) supplemented with protein phosphatase and/or protease inhibitors (e.g., EDTA, PMSF, aprotinin, sodium vanadate), adding the antibody of interest to the cell lysate, incubating for a period of time (e.g., 1–4 hours) at 4° C., adding protein A and/or protein G sepharose beads to the cell lysate, incubating for about an hour or more at 4° C., washing the beads in lysis buffer and resuspending the beads in SDS/sample buffer. The ability of the antibody of interest to immunoprecipitate a particular antigen can be assessed by, e.g., western blot analysis. One of skill in the art would be knowledgeable as to the parameters that can be modified to increase the binding of the antibody to an antigen and decrease the background (e.g., pre-clearing the cell lysate with sepharose beads). For further discussion regarding immunoprecipitation protocols see, e.g., Ausubel et al, eds, 1994, Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, Vol. 1, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York at 10.16.1.
Western blot analysis generally comprises preparing protein samples, electrophoresis of the protein samples in a polyacrylamide gel (e.g., 8%–20% SDS-PAGE depending on the molecular weight of the antigen), transferring the protein sample from the polyacrylamide gel to a membrane such as nitrocellulose, PVDF or nylon, blocking the membrane in blocking solution (e.g., PBS with 3% BSA or non-fat milk), washing the membrane in washing buffer (e.g., PBS-Tween 20), blocking the membrane with primary antibody (the antibody of interest) diluted in blocking buffer, washing the membrane in washing buffer, blocking the membrane with a secondary antibody (which recognizes the primary antibody, e.g., an anti-human antibody) conjugated to an enzymatic substrate (e.g., horseradish peroxidase or alkaline phosphatase) or radioactive molecule (e.g., 32P or 125I) diluted in blocking buffer, washing the membrane in wash buffer, and detecting the presence of the antigen. One of skill in the art would be knowledgeable as to the parameters that can be modified to increase the signal detected and to reduce the background noise. For further discussion regarding western blot protocols see, e.g., Ausubel et al, eds, 1994, Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, Vol. 1, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York at 10.8.1.
ELISAs comprise preparing antigen, coating the well of a 96 well microtiter plate with the antigen, adding the antibody of interest conjugated to a detectable compound such as an enzymatic substrate (e.g., horseradish peroxidase or alkaline phosphatase) to the well and incubating for a period of time, and detecting the presence of the antigen. In ELISAs the antibody of interest does not have to be conjugated to a detectable compound; instead, a second antibody (which recognizes the antibody of interest) conjugated to a detectable compound may be added to the well. Further, instead of coating the well with the antigen, the antibody may be coated to the well. In this case, a second antibody conjugated to a detectable compound may be added following the addition of the antigen of interest to the coated well. One of skill in the art would be knowledgeable as to the parameters that can be modified to increase the signal detected as well as other variations of ELISAs known in the art. For further discussion regarding ELISAs see, e.g., Ausubel et al, eds, 1994, Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, Vol. 1, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York at 11.2.1.
The binding affinity of an antibody to an antigen and the off-rate of an antibody-antigen interaction can be determined by competitive binding assays. One example of a competitive binding assay is a radioimmunoassay comprising the incubation of labeled antigen (e.g., 3H or 125I) with the antibody of interest in the presence of increasing amounts of unlabeled antigen, and the detection of the antibody bound to the labeled antigen. The affinity of the antibody of interest for a particular antigen and the binding off-rates can be determined from the data by scatchard plot analysis. Competition with a second antibody can also be determined using radioimmunoassays. In this case, the antigen is incubated with antibody of interest conjugated to a labeled compound (e.g., 3H or 1251) in the presence of increasing amounts of an unlabeled second antibody.
Therapeutic Uses
The present invention is further directed to antibody-based therapies which involve administering antibodies of the invention to an animal, preferably a mammal, and most preferably a human, patient for treating one or more of the disclosed diseases, disorders, or conditions. Therapeutic compounds of the invention include, but are not limited to, antibodies of the invention (including fragments, analogs and derivatives thereof as described herein) and nucleic acids encoding antibodies of the invention (including fragments, analogs and derivatives thereof and anti-idiotypic antibodies as described herein). The antibodies of the invention can be used to treat, inhibit or prevent diseases, disorders or conditions associated with aberrant expression and/or activity of a polypeptide of the invention, including, but not limited to, any one or more of the diseases, disorders, or conditions described herein. The treatment and/or prevention of diseases, disorders, or conditions associated with aberrant expression and/or activity of a polypeptide of the invention includes, but is not limited to, alleviating symptoms associated with those diseases, disorders or conditions. Antibodies of the invention may be provided in pharmaceutically acceptable compositions as known in the art or as described herein.
A summary of the ways in which the antibodies of the present invention may be used therapeutically includes binding polynucleotides or polypeptides of the present invention locally or systemically in the body or by direct cytotoxicity of the antibody, e.g. as mediated by complement (CDC) or by effector cells (ADCC). Some of these approaches are described in more detail below. Armed with the teachings provided herein, one of ordinary skill in the art will know how to use the antibodies of the present invention for diagnostic, monitoring or therapeutic purposes without undue experimentation.
The antibodies of this invention may be advantageously utilized in combination with other monoclonal or chimeric antibodies, or with lymphokines or hematopoietic growth factors (such as, e.g., IL-2, IL-3 and IL-7), for example, which serve to increase the number or activity of effector cells which interact with the antibodies.
The antibodies of the invention may be administered alone or in combination with other types of treatments (e.g., radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, immunotherapy and anti-tumor agents). Generally, administration of products of a species origin or species reactivity (in the case of antibodies) that is the same species as that of the patient is preferred. Thus, in a preferred embodiment, human antibodies, fragments derivatives, analogs, or nucleic acids, are administered to a human patient for therapy or prophylaxis.
It is preferred to use high affinity and/or potent in vivo inhibiting and/or neutralizing antibodies against polypeptides or polynucleotides of the present invention, fragments or regions thereof, for both immunoassays directed to and therapy of disorders related to polynucleotides or polypeptides, including fragments thereof, of the present invention. Such antibodies, fragments, or regions, will preferably have an affinity for polynucleotides or polypeptides of the invention, including fragments thereof. Preferred binding affinities include those with a dissociation constant or Kd less than 5×10−2 M, 10−2 M, 5×10−3 M, 10−3 M, 5×10−4 M, 10−4 M, 5×10−5 M, 10−5 M, 5×10−6 M, 10−6 M, 5×10−7 M, 10−7 M, 5×10−8 M, 108 M, 5×10−9 M, 10−9 M, 5×10−10 M, 10−10 M, 5×10−11 M, 10−11 M, 5×10−12 M, 10−12 M, 5×10−13 M, 10−13 M, 5×10−14 M, 19−14 M, 5×10−15 M, and 10−15 M.
Gene Therapy
In a specific embodiment, nucleic acids comprising sequences encoding antibodies or functional derivatives thereof, are administered to treat, inhibit or prevent a disease or disorder associated with aberrant expression and/or activity of a polypeptide of the invention, by way of gene therapy. Gene therapy refers to therapy performed by the administration to a subject of an expressed or expressible nucleic acid. In this embodiment of the invention, the nucleic acids produce their encoded protein that mediates a therapeutic effect.
Any of the methods for gene therapy available in the art can be used according to the present invention. Exemplary methods are described below.
For general reviews of the methods of gene therapy, see Goldspiel et al., Clinical Pharmacy 12:488–505 (1993); Wu and Wu, Biotherapy 3:87–95 (1991); Tolstoshev, Ann. Rev. Pharmacol. Toxicol. 32:573–596 (1993); Mulligan, Science 260:926–932 (1993); and Morgan and Anderson, Ann. Rev. Biochem. 62:191–217 (1993); May, TIBTECH 11(5):155–215 (1993). Methods commonly known in the art of recombinant DNA technology which can be used are described in Ausubel et al. (eds.), Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley & Sons, NY (1993); and Kriegler, Gene Transfer and Expression, A Laboratory Manual, Stockton Press, NY (1990).
In a preferred aspect, the compound comprises nucleic acid sequences encoding an antibody, said nucleic acid sequences being part of expression vectors that express the antibody or fragments or chimeric proteins or heavy or light chains thereof in a suitable host. In particular, such nucleic acid sequences have promoters operably linked to the antibody coding region, said promoter being inducible or constitutive, and, optionally, tissue-specific. In another particular embodiment, nucleic acid molecules are used in which the antibody coding sequences and any other desired sequences are flanked by regions that promote homologous recombination at a desired site in the genome, thus providing for intrachromosomal expression of the antibody encoding nucleic acids (Koller and Smithies, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 86:8932–8935 (1989); Zijlstra et al., Nature 342:435–438 (1989). In specific embodiments, the expressed antibody molecule is a single chain antibody; alternatively, the nucleic acid sequences include sequences encoding both the heavy and light chains, or fragments thereof, of the antibody.
Delivery of the nucleic acids into a patient may be either direct, in which case the patient is directly exposed to the nucleic acid or nucleic acid-carrying vectors, or indirect, in which case, cells are first transformed with the nucleic acids in vitro, then transplanted into the patient. These two approaches are known, respectively, as in vivo or ex vivo gene therapy.
In a specific embodiment, the nucleic acid sequences are directly administered in vivo, where it is expressed to produce the encoded product. This can be accomplished by any of numerous methods known in the art, e.g., by constructing them as part of an appropriate nucleic acid expression vector and administering it so that they become intracellular, e.g., by infection using defective or attenuated retrovirals or other viral vectors (see U.S. Pat. No. 4,980,286), or by direct injection of naked DNA, or by use of microparticle bombardment (e.g., a gene gun; Biolistic, Dupont), or coating with lipids or cell-surface receptors or transfecting agents, encapsulation in liposomes, microparticles, or microcapsules, or by administering them in linkage to a peptide which is known to enter the nucleus, by administering it in linkage to a ligand subject to receptor-mediated endocytosis (see, e.g., Wu and Wu, J. Biol. Chem. 262:4429–4432 (1987)) (which can be used to target cell types specifically expressing the receptors), etc. In another embodiment, nucleic acid-ligand complexes can be formed in which the ligand comprises a fusogenic viral peptide to disrupt endosomes, allowing the nucleic acid to avoid lysosomal degradation. In yet another embodiment, the nucleic acid can be targeted in vivo for cell specific uptake and expression, by targeting a specific receptor (see, e.g., PCT Publications WO 92/06180; WO 92/22635; WO92/20316; WO93/14188, WO 93/20221). Alternatively, the nucleic acid can be introduced intracellularly and incorporated within host cell DNA for expression, by homologous recombination (Koller and Smithies, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 86:8932–8935 (1989); Zijlstra et al., Nature 342:435–438 (1989)).
In a specific embodiment, viral vectors that contains nucleic acid sequences encoding an antibody of the invention are used. For example, a retroviral vector can be used (see Miller et al., Meth. Enzymol. 217:581–599 (1993)). These retroviral vectors contain the components necessary for the correct packaging of the viral genome and integration into the host cell DNA. The nucleic acid sequences encoding the antibody to be used in gene therapy are cloned into one or more vectors, which facilitates delivery of the gene into a patient. More detail about retroviral vectors can be found in Boesen et al., Biotherapy 6:291–302 (1994), which describes the use of a retroviral vector to deliver the mdr1 gene to hematopoietic stem cells in order to make the stem cells more resistant to chemotherapy. Other references illustrating the use of retroviral vectors in gene therapy are: Clowes et al., J. Clin. Invest. 93:644–651 (1994); Kiem et al., Blood 83:1467–1473 (1994); Salmons and Gunzberg, Human Gene Therapy 4:129–141 (1993); and Grossman and Wilson, Curr. Opin. in Genetics and Devel. 3:11–114 (1993).
Adenoviruses are other viral vectors that can be used in gene therapy. Adenoviruses are especially attractive vehicles for delivering genes to respiratory epithelia. Adenoviruses naturally infect respiratory epithelia where they cause a mild disease. Other targets for adenovirus-based delivery systems are liver, the central nervous system, endothelial cells, and muscle. Adenoviruses have the advantage of being capable of infecting non-dividing cells. Kozarsky and Wilson, Current Opinion in Genetics and Development 3:499–503 (1993) present a review of adenovirus-based gene therapy. Bout et al., Human Gene Therapy 5:3–10 (1994) demonstrated the use of adenovirus vectors to transfer genes to the respiratory epithelia of rhesus monkeys. Other instances of the use of adenoviruses in gene therapy can be found in Rosenfeld et al., Science 252:431–434 (1991); Rosenfeld et al., Cell 68:143–155 (1992); Mastrangeli et al., J. Clin. Invest. 91:225–234 (1993); PCT Publication WO94/12649; and Wang, et al., Gene Therapy 2:775–783 (1995). In a preferred embodiment, adenovirus vectors are used.
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) has also been proposed for use in gene therapy (Walsh et al., Proc. Soc. Exp. Biol. Med. 204:289–300 (1993); U.S. Pat. No. 5,436,146).
Another approach to gene therapy involves transferring a gene to cells in tissue culture by such methods as electroporation, lipofection, calcium phosphate mediated transfection, or viral infection. Usually, the method of transfer includes the transfer of a selectable marker to the cells. The cells are then placed under selection to isolate those cells that have taken up and are expressing the transferred gene. Those cells are then delivered to a patient.
In this embodiment, the nucleic acid is introduced into a cell prior to administration in vivo of the resulting recombinant cell. Such introduction can be carried out by any method known in the art, including but not limited to transfection, electroporation, microinjection, infection with a viral or bacteriophage vector containing the nucleic acid sequences, cell fusion, chromosome-mediated gene transfer, microcell-mediated gene transfer, spheroplast fusion, etc. Numerous techniques are known in the art for the introduction of foreign genes into cells (see, e.g., Loeffler and Behr, Meth. Enzymol. 217:599–618 (1993); Cohen et al., Meth. Enzymol. 217:618–644 (1993); Cline, Pharmac. Ther. 29:69–92m (1985) and may be used in accordance with the present invention, provided that the necessary developmental and physiological functions of the recipient cells are not disrupted. The technique should provide for the stable transfer of the nucleic acid to the cell, so that the nucleic acid is expressible by the cell and preferably heritable and expressible by its cell progeny.
The resulting recombinant cells can be delivered to a patient by various methods known in the art. Recombinant blood cells (e.g., hematopoietic stem or progenitor cells) are preferably administered intravenously. The amount of cells envisioned for use depends on the desired effect, patient state, etc., and can be determined by one skilled in the art.
Cells into which a nucleic acid can be introduced for purposes of gene therapy encompass any desired, available cell type, and include but are not limited to epithelial cells, endothelial cells, keratinocytes, fibroblasts, muscle cells, hepatocytes; blood cells such as Tlymphocytes, Blymphocytes, monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, eosinophils, megakaryocytes, granulocytes; various stem or progenitor cells, in particular hematopoietic stem or progenitor cells, e.g., as obtained from bone marrow, umbilical cord blood, peripheral blood, fetal liver, etc.
In a preferred embodiment, the cell used for gene therapy is autologous to the patient.
In an embodiment in which recombinant cells are used in gene therapy, nucleic acid sequences encoding an antibody are introduced into the cells such that they are expressible by the cells or their progeny, and the recombinant cells are then administered in vivo for therapeutic effect. In a specific embodiment, stem or progenitor cells are used. Any stem and/or progenitor cells which can be isolated and maintained in vitro can potentially be used in accordance with this embodiment of the present invention (see e.g. PCT Publication WO 94/08598; Stemple and Anderson, Cell 71:973–985 (1992); Rheinwald, Meth. Cell Bio. 21A:229 (1980); and Pittelkow and Scott, Mayo Clinic Proc. 61:771 (1986)).
In a specific embodiment, the nucleic acid to be introduced for purposes of gene therapy comprises an inducible promoter operably linked to the coding region, such that expression of the nucleic acid is controllable by controlling the presence or absence of the appropriate inducer of transcription. Demonstration of Therapeutic or Prophylactic Activity.
The compounds or pharmaceutical compositions of the invention are preferably tested in vitro, and then in vivo for the desired therapeutic or prophylactic activity, prior to use in humans. For example, in vitro assays to demonstrate the therapeutic or prophylactic utility of a compound or pharmaceutical composition include, the effect of a compound on a cell line or a patient tissue sample. The effect of the compound or composition on the cell line and/or tissue sample can be determined utilizing techniques known to those of skill in the art including, but not limited to, rosette formation assays and cell lysis assays. In accordance with the invention, in vitro assays which can be used to determine whether administration of a specific compound is indicated, include in vitro cell culture assays in which a patient tissue sample is grown in culture, and exposed to or otherwise administered a compound, and the effect of such compound upon the tissue sample is observed.
Therapeutic/Prophylactic Administration and Composition
The invention provides methods of treatment, inhibition and prophylaxis by administration to a subject of an effective amount of a compound or pharmaceutical composition of the invention, preferably an antibody of the invention. In a preferred aspect, the compound is substantially purified (e.g., substantially free from substances that limit its effect or produce undesired side-effects). The subject is preferably an animal, including but not limited to animals such as cows, pigs, horses, chickens, cats, dogs, etc., and is preferably a mammal, and most preferably human.
Formulations and methods of administration that can be employed when the compound comprises a nucleic acid or an immunoglobulin are described above; additional appropriate formulations and routes of administration can be selected from among those described herein below.
Various delivery systems are known and can be used to administer a compound of the invention, e.g., encapsulation in liposomes, microparticles, microcapsules, recombinant cells capable of expressing the compound, receptor-mediated endocytosis (see, e.g., Wu and Wu, J. Biol. Chem. 262:4429–4432 (1987)), construction of a nucleic acid as part of a retroviral or other vector, etc. Methods of introduction include but are not limited to intradermal, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intravenous, subcutaneous, intranasal, epidural, and oral routes. The compounds or compositions may be administered by any convenient route, for example by infusion or bolus injection, by absorption through epithelial or mucocutaneous linings (e.g., oral mucosa, rectal and intestinal mucosa, etc.) and may be administered together with other biologically active agents. Administration can be systemic or local. In addition, it may be desirable to introduce the pharmaceutical compounds or compositions of the invention into the central nervous system by any suitable route, including intraventricular and intrathecal injection; intraventricular injection may be facilitated by an intraventricular catheter, for example, attached to a reservoir, such as an Ommaya reservoir. Pulmonary administration can also be employed, e.g., by use of an inhaler or nebulizer, and formulation with an aerosolizing agent.
In a specific embodiment, it may be desirable to administer the pharmaceutical compounds or compositions of the invention locally to the area in need of treatment; this may be achieved by, for example, and not by way of limitation, local infusion during surgery, topical application, e.g., in conjunction with a wound dressing after surgery, by injection, by means of a catheter, by means of a suppository, or by means of an implant, said implant being of a porous, non-porous, or gelatinous material, including membranes, such as sialastic membranes, or fibers. Preferably, when administering a protein, including an antibody, of the invention, care must be taken to use materials to which the protein does not absorb.
In another embodiment, the compound or composition can be delivered in a vesicle, in particular a liposome (see Langer, Science 249:1527–1533 (1990); Treat et al., in Liposomes in the Therapy of Infectious Disease and Cancer, Lopez-Berestein and Fidler (eds.), Liss, New York, pp. 353–365 (1989); Lopez-Berestein, ibid., pp. 317–327; see generally ibid.)
In yet another embodiment, the compound or composition can be delivered in a controlled release system. In one embodiment, a pump may be used (see Langer, supra; Sefton, CRC Crit. Ref. Biomed. Eng. 14:201 (1987); Buchwald et al., Surgery 88:507 (1980); Saudek et al., N. Engl. J. Med. 321:574 (1989)). In another embodiment, polymeric materials can be used (see Medical Applications of Controlled Release, Langer and Wise (eds.), CRC Pres., Boca Raton, Fla. (1974); Controlled Drug Bioavailability, Drug Product Design and Performance, Smolen and Ball (eds.), Wiley, New York (1984); Ranger and Peppas, J., Macromol. Sci. Rev. Macromol. Chem. 23:61 (1983); see also Levy et al., Science 228:190 (1985); During et al., Ann. Neurol. 25:351 (1989); Howard et al., J. Neurosurg. 71:105 (1989)). In yet another embodiment, a controlled release system can be placed in proximity of the therapeutic target, i.e., the brain, thus requiring only a fraction of the systemic dose (see, e.g., Goodson, in Medical Applications of Controlled Release, supra, vol. 2, pp. 115–138 (1984)).
Other controlled release systems are discussed in the review by Langer (Science 249:1527–1533 (1990)).
In a specific embodiment where the compound of the invention is a nucleic acid encoding a protein, the nucleic acid can be administered in vivo to promote expression of its encoded protein, by constructing it as part of an appropriate nucleic acid expression vector and administering it so that it becomes intracellular, e.g., by use of a retroviral vector (see U.S. Pat. No. 4,980,286), or by direct injection, or by use of microparticle bombardment (e.g., a gene gun; Biolistic, Dupont), or coating with lipids or cell-surface receptors or transfecting agents, or by administering it in linkage to a homeobox-like peptide which is known to enter the nucleus (see e.g., Joliot et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 88:1864–1868 (1991)), etc. Alternatively, a nucleic acid can be introduced intracellularly and incorporated within host cell DNA for expression, by homologous recombination.
The present invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions. Such compositions comprise a therapeutically effective amount of a compound, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. In a specific embodiment, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable” means approved by a regulatory agency of the Federal or a state government or listed in the U.S. Pharmacopeia or other generally recognized pharmacopeia for use in animals, and more particularly in humans. The term “carrier” refers to a diluent, adjuvant, excipient, or vehicle with which the therapeutic is administered. Such pharmaceutical carriers can be sterile liquids, such as water and oils, including those of petroleum, animal, vegetable or synthetic origin, such as peanut oil, soybean oil, mineral oil, sesame oil and the like. Water is a preferred carrier when the pharmaceutical composition is administered intravenously. Saline solutions and aqueous dextrose and glycerol solutions can also be employed as liquid carriers, particularly for injectable solutions. Suitable pharmaceutical excipients include starch, glucose, lactose, sucrose, gelatin, malt, rice, flour, chalk, silica gel, sodium stearate, glycerol monostearate, talc, sodium chloride, dried skim milk, glycerol, propylene, glycol, water, ethanol and the like. The composition, if desired, can also contain minor amounts of wetting or emulsifying agents, or pH buffering agents. These compositions can take the form of solutions, suspensions, emulsion, tablets, pills, capsules, powders, sustained-release formulations and the like. The composition can be formulated as a suppository, with traditional binders and carriers such as triglycerides. Oral formulation can include standard carriers such as pharmaceutical grades of mannitol, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, sodium saccharine, cellulose, magnesium carbonate, etc. Examples of suitable pharmaceutical carriers are described in “Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences” by E. W. Martin. Such compositions will contain a therapeutically effective amount of the compound, preferably in purified form, together with a suitable amount of carrier so as to provide the form for proper administration to the patient. The formulation should suit the mode of administration.
In a preferred embodiment, the composition is formulated in accordance with routine procedures as a pharmaceutical composition adapted for intravenous administration to human beings. Typically, compositions for intravenous administration are solutions in sterile isotonic aqueous buffer. Where necessary, the composition may also include a solubilizing agent and a local anesthetic such as lignocaine to ease pain at the site of the injection. Generally, the ingredients are supplied either separately or mixed together in unit dosage form, for example, as a dry lyophilized powder or water free concentrate in a hermetically sealed container such as an ampoule or sachette indicating the quantity of active agent. Where the composition is to be administered by infusion, it can be dispensed with an infusion bottle containing sterile pharmaceutical grade water or saline. Where the composition is administered by injection, an ampoule of sterile water for injection or saline can be provided so that the ingredients may be mixed prior to administration.
The compounds of the invention can be formulated as neutral or salt forms. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts include those formed with anions such as those derived from hydrochloric, phosphoric, acetic, oxalic, tartaric acids, etc., and those formed with cations such as those derived from sodium, potassium, ammonium, calcium, ferric hydroxides, isopropylamine, triethylamine, 2-ethylamino ethanol, histidine, procaine, etc.
The amount of the compound of the invention which will be effective in the treatment, inhibition and prevention of a disease or disorder associated with aberrant expression and/or activity of a polypeptide of the invention can be determined by standard clinical techniques. In addition, in vitro assays may optionally be employed to help identify optimal dosage ranges. The precise dose to be employed in the formulation will also depend on the route of administration, and the seriousness of the disease or disorder, and should be decided according to the judgment of the practitioner and each patient's circumstances. Effective doses may be extrapolated from dose-response curves derived from in vitro or animal model test systems.
For antibodies, the dosage administered to a patient is typically 0.1 mg/kg to 100 mg/kg of the patient's body weight. Preferably, the dosage administered to a patient is between 0.1 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg of the patient's body weight, more preferably 1 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg of the patient's body weight. Generally, human antibodies have a longer half-life within the human body than antibodies from other species due to the immune response to the foreign polypeptides. Thus, lower dosages of human antibodies and less frequent administration is often possible. Further, the dosage and frequency of administration of antibodies of the invention may be reduced by enhancing uptake and tissue penetration (e.g., into the brain) of the antibodies by modifications such as, for example, lipidation.
The invention also provides a pharmaceutical pack or kit comprising one or more containers filled with one or more of the ingredients of the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention. Optionally associated with such container(s) can be a notice in the form prescribed by a governmental agency regulating the manufacture, use or sale of pharmaceuticals or biological products, which notice reflects approval by the agency of manufacture, use or sale for human administration. Diagnosis and Imaging.
Labeled antibodies, and derivatives and analogs thereof, which specifically bind to a polypeptide of interest can be used for diagnostic purposes to detect, diagnose, or monitor diseases and/or disorders associated with the aberrant expression and/or activity of a polypeptide of the invention. The invention provides for the detection of aberrant expression of a polypeptide of interest, comprising (a) assaying the expression of the polypeptide of interest in cells or body fluid of an individual using one or more antibodies specific to the polypeptide interest and (b) comparing the level of gene expression with a standard gene expression level, whereby an increase or decrease in the assayed polypeptide gene expression level compared to the standard expression level is indicative of aberrant expression.
The invention provides a diagnostic assay for diagnosing a disorder, comprising (a) assaying the expression of the polypeptide of interest in cells or body fluid of an individual using one or more antibodies specific to the polypeptide interest and (b) comparing the level of gene expression with a standard gene expression level, whereby an increase or decrease in the assayed polypeptide gene expression level compared to the standard expression level is indicative of a particular disorder. With respect to cancer, the presence of a relatively high amount of transcript in biopsied tissue from an individual may indicate a predisposition for the development of the disease, or may provide a means for detecting the disease prior to the appearance of actual clinical symptoms. A more definitive diagnosis of this type may allow health professionals to employ preventative measures or aggressive treatment earlier thereby preventing the development or further progression of the cancer.
Antibodies of the invention can be used to assay protein levels in a biological sample using classical immunohistological methods known to those of skill in the art (e.g., see Jalkanen, et al., J. Cell. Biol. 101:976–985 (1985); Jalkanen, et al., J. Cell. Biol. 105:3087–3096 (1987)). Other antibody-based methods useful for detecting protein gene expression include immunoassays, such as the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the radioimmunoassay (RIA). Suitable antibody assay labels are known in the art and include enzyme labels, such as, glucose oxidase; radioisotopes, such as iodine (125I, 121I), carbon (14C), sulfur (35S), tritium (3H), indium (112In), and technetium (99Tc); luminescent labels, such as luminol; and fluorescent labels, such as fluorescein and rhodamine, and biotin.
One aspect of the invention is the detection and diagnosis of a disease or disorder associated with aberrant expression of a polypeptide of interest in an animal, preferably a mammal and most preferably a human. In one embodiment, diagnosis comprises: a) administering (for example, parenterally, subcutaneously, or intraperitoneally) to a subject an effective amount of a labeled molecule which specifically binds to the polypeptide of interest; b) waiting for a time interval following the administering for permitting the labeled molecule to preferentially concentrate at sites in the subject where the polypeptide is expressed (and for unbound labeled molecule to be cleared to background level); c) determining background level; and d) detecting the labeled molecule in the subject, such that detection of labeled molecule above the background level indicates that the subject has a particular disease or disorder associated with aberrant expression of the polypeptide of interest. Background level can be determined by various methods including, comparing the amount of labeled molecule detected to a standard value previously determined for a particular system.
It will be understood in the art that the size of the subject and the imaging system used will determine the quantity of imaging moiety needed to produce diagnostic images. In the case of a radioisotope moiety, for a human subject, the quantity of radioactivity injected will normally range from about 5 to 20 millicuries of 99 mTc. The labeled antibody or antibody fragment will then preferentially accumulate at the location of cells which contain the specific protein. In vivo tumor imaging is described in S. W. Burchiel et al., “Immunopharmacokinetics of Radiolabeled Antibodies and Their Fragments.” (Chapter 13 in Tumor Imaging: The Radiochemical Detection of Cancer, S. W. Burchiel and B. A. Rhodes, eds., Masson Publishing Inc. (1982).
Depending on several variables, including the type of label used and the mode of administration, the time interval following the administration for permitting the labeled molecule to preferentially concentrate at sites in the subject and for unbound labeled molecule to be cleared to background level is 6 to 48 hours or 6 to 24 hours or 6 to 12 hours. In another embodiment the time interval following administration is 5 to 20 days or 5 to 10 days.
In an embodiment, monitoring of the disease or disorder is carried out by repeating the method for diagnosing the disease or disease, for example, one month after initial diagnosis, six months after initial diagnosis, one year after initial diagnosis, etc.
Presence of the labeled molecule can be detected in the patient using methods known in the art for in vivo scanning. These methods depend upon the type of label used. Skilled artisans will be able to determine the appropriate method for detecting a particular label. Methods and devices that may be used in the diagnostic methods of the invention include, but are not limited to, computed tomography (CT), whole body scan such as position emission tomography (PET), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and sonography.
In a specific embodiment, the molecule is labeled with a radioisotope and is detected in the patient using a radiation responsive surgical instrument (Thurston et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,441,050). In another embodiment, the molecule is labeled with a fluorescent compound and is detected in the patient using a fluorescence responsive scanning instrument. In another embodiment, the molecule is labeled with a positron emitting metal and is detected in the patent using positron emission-tomography. In yet another embodiment, the molecule is labeled with a paramagnetic label and is detected in a patient using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Kits
The present invention provides kits that can be used in the above methods. In one embodiment, a kit comprises an antibody of the invention, preferably a purified antibody, in one or more containers. In a specific embodiment, the kits of the present invention contain a substantially isolated polypeptide comprising an epitope which is specifically immunoreactive with an antibody included in the kit. Preferably, the kits of the present invention further comprise a control antibody which does not react with the polypeptide of interest. In another specific embodiment, the kits of the present invention contain a means for detecting the binding of an antibody to a polypeptide of interest (e.g., the antibody may be conjugated to a detectable substrate such as a fluorescent compound, an enzymatic substrate, a radioactive compound or a luminescent compound, or a second antibody which recognizes the first antibody may be conjugated to a detectable substrate).
In another specific embodiment of the present invention, the kit is a diagnostic kit for use in screening serum containing antibodies specific against proliferative and/or cancerous polynucleotides and polypeptides. Such a kit may include a control antibody that does not react with the polypeptide of interest. Such a kit may include a substantially isolated polypeptide antigen comprising an epitope which is specifically immunoreactive with at least one anti-polypeptide antigen antibody. Further, such a kit includes means for detecting the binding of said antibody to the antigen (e.g., the antibody may be conjugated to a fluorescent compound such as fluorescein or rhodamine which can be detected by flow cytometry). In specific embodiments, the kit may include a recombinantly produced or chemically synthesized polypeptide antigen. The polypeptide antigen of the kit may also be attached to a solid support.
In a more specific embodiment the detecting means of the above-described kit includes a solid support to which said polypeptide antigen is attached. Such a kit may also include a non-attached reporter-labeled anti-human antibody. In this embodiment, binding of the antibody to the polypeptide antigen can be detected by binding of the said reporter-labeled antibody.
In an additional embodiment, the invention includes a diagnostic kit for use in screening serum containing antigens of the polypeptide of the invention. The diagnostic kit includes a substantially isolated antibody specifically immunoreactive with polypeptide or polynucleotide antigens, and means for detecting the binding of the polynucleotide or polypeptide antigen to the antibody. In one embodiment, the antibody is attached to a solid support. In a specific embodiment, the antibody may be a monoclonal antibody. The detecting means of the kit may include a second, labeled monoclonal antibody. Alternatively, or in addition, the detecting means may include a labeled, competing antigen.
In one diagnostic configuration, test serum is reacted with a solid phase reagent having a surface-bound antigen obtained by the methods of the present invention. After binding with specific antigen antibody to the reagent and removing unbound serum components by washing, the reagent is reacted with reporter-labeled anti-human antibody to bind reporter to the reagent in proportion to the amount of bound anti-antigen antibody on the solid support. The reagent is again washed to remove unbound labeled antibody, and the amount of reporter associated with the reagent is determined. Typically, the reporter is an enzyme which is detected by incubating the solid phase in the presence of a suitable fluorometric, luminescent or colorimetric substrate (Sigma, St. Louis, Mo.).
The solid surface reagent in the above assay is prepared by known techniques for attaching protein material to solid support material, such as polymeric beads, dip sticks, 96-well plate or filter material. These attachment methods generally include non-specific adsorption of the protein to the support or covalent attachment of the protein, typically through a free amine group, to a chemically reactive group on the solid support, such as an activated carboxyl, hydroxyl, or aldehyde group. Alternatively, streptavidin coated plates can be used in conjunction with biotinylated antigen(s).
Thus, the invention provides an assay system or kit for carrying out this diagnostic method. The kit generally includes a support with surface-bound recombinant antigens, and a reporter-labeled anti-human antibody for detecting surface-bound anti-antigen antibody.

In one embodiment, the present invention is directed to a method for identifying compounds that interact with (e.g., bind to) full-length WF-HABP polypeptides (including, but not limited to full-length WF-HABP, and one or more hyaluronan binding domains of full-length WF-HABP). Compounds identified may be useful, for example, in modulating the activity full-length WF-HABP gene products; in elaborating the biological function of full-length WF-HABP; in screens for identifying compounds that disrupt normal full-length WF-HABP interactions; or may in themselves disrupt such interactions and therefore may have uses which include, for example, regulators of hematopoiesis and/or of the immune response.

The principle of the assays used to identify compounds that bind to full-length WF-HABP involves preparing a reaction mixture of full-length WF-HABP and the test compound under conditions and for a time sufficient to allow the two components to interact and bind, thus forming a complex which can be removed and/or detected in the reaction mixture. The full-length WF-HABP polypeptide species used can vary depending upon the goal of the screening assay. For example, where agonists of the natural ligand are sought, the full length WF-HABP, or a soluble truncated full-length WF-HABP (e.g., containing one or more binding domains (i.e. EGF-like type 1 domain, EGF-like type 2 domain, laminin-type EGF, cytochrome P450 cysteine heme-iron ligand binding domains, prokaryotic membrane lipoprotein lipid attachment site domains), a peptide corresponding to a full-length WF-HABP hyaluronan binding domain or a fusion protein containing a full-length WF-HABP hyaluronan binding domain fused to a polypeptide that affords advantages in the assay system (e.g., labeling, isolation of the resulting complex, etc.) can be utilized. Where compounds that interact with a full-length WF-HABP binding domain are sought to be identified, peptides corresponding to the full-length WF-HABP binding domain and fusion proteins containing a full-length WF-HABP binding domain can be used.

The compounds that may be screened in accordance with the invention include, but are not limited to, soluble peptides, including but not limited to those found in random peptide libraries; (see, e.g., Lam et al., Nature 354:82–84 (1991); Houghten, R. et al., Nature 354:84–86 (1991)), cell or tissue lysates, and biological samples (e.g,. cells, tissue, sera and lymph). Such compounds may also be found in random peptide expression libraries, and genomic or cDNA expression libraries, or combinatorial chemistry-derived molecular libraries made of D- and/or L-configuration amino acids; phosphopeptides (including, but not limited to members of random or partially degenerate, directed phosphopeptide libraries; see, e.g., Songyang et al., Cell 72:767–778 (1993)); antibodies (including, but not limited to, polyclonal, monoclonal, humanized, anti-idiotypic, chimeric or single chain antibodies, and FAb, F(ab′)2 and FAb expression library fragments, and epitope-binding fragments thereof); and small organic or inorganic molecules.
Numerous experimental methods may be used to select and detect polypeptides that bind with full-length WF-HABP, including, but not limited to, protein affinity chromatography, hyaluronan or proteoglycan affinity chromatography, affinity blotting, immunoprecipitation, cross-linking, and library based methods such as protein probing, phage display and the two-hybrid system. See generally, Phizicky et al., Microbiol. Rev. 59:94–123 (1995). Once isolated, such a full-length WF-HABP-binding polypeptide can be identified and can, in turn, be used, in conjunction with standard techniques, to identify polypeptides with which it interacts. For example, at least a portion of the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide that interacts with full-length WF-HABP can be ascertained using techniques well known to those of skill in the art, such as via the Edman degradation technique. (See, e.g., Creighton, 1983, “Proteins: Structures and Molecular Principles”, W.H. Freeman & Co., N.Y., pp. 34–49). The amino acid sequence obtained may be used as a guide for the generation of oligonucleotide mixtures that can be used to screen for gene sequences encoding such polypeptides. Screening may be accomplished, for example, by standard hybridization or PCR techniques. Techniques for the generation of oligonucleotide mixtures and the screening are well-known. (See, e.g., Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 2nd Edit., (1989), Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press; and PCR Protocols: A Guide to Methods and Applications, 1990, Innis, M. et al., eds.

Additionally, methods may be employed which result in the simultaneous identification of genes which encode polypeptides interacting with full-length WF-HABP. These methods include, for example, probing expression libraries, in a manner similar to the well known technique of antibody probing of gt11 libraries, using labeled full-length WF-HABP polypeptide, such as a full-length WF-HABP fusion protein wherein a full-length WF-HABP domain is fused to a marker (e.g., an enzyme, fluor, luminescent protein, or dye), or an Ig-Fc domain. For example, the two-hybrid system may be used to detect interaction between full-length WF-HABP and candidate proteins for which genes encoding the candidate polypeptides are available by constructing the appropriate hybrids and testing for reporter gene activity. If an interaction is detected using the two-hybrid method, deletions can be made in the DNA encoding the candidate interacting polypeptide or the full-length WF-HABP polypeptide to identify a minimal domain for interaction. Alternatively, the two-hybrid system can be used to screen available organismal and/or mammalian tissue specific libraries of activation domain hybrids to identify polypeptides that bind to a full-length WF-HABP polypeptide. These screens result in the immediate availability of the cloned gene for any new polypeptide identified. In addition, since multiple clones that encode overlapping regions of protein are often identified, the minimal domain for interaction may be readily apparent from the initial screen.

Assays may also be used that identify compounds which bind to full-length WF-FABP gene regulatory sequences (e.g., promoter or enhancer sequences) and which may modulate full-length WF-HABP gene expression.

The screening assays can be conducted in a variety of ways. For example, one method to conduct such an assay would involve anchoring the full-length WF-HABP polypeptide (e.g., fusion protein) or the test substance onto a solid phase and detecting full-length WF-HABP/test compound complexes anchored on the solid phase at the end of the reaction. In one embodiment of such a method, the full-length WF-HABP reactant may be anchored onto a solid surface, and the test compound, which is not anchored, may be labeled, either directly or indirectly.

In one embodiment of such a method, the BM-HABP reactant may be anchored onto a solid surface, and the test compound, which is not anchored, may be labeled, either directly or indirectly.
In practice, microtiter plates may conveniently be utilized as the solid phase. The anchored component may be immobilized by non-covalent or covalent attachments. Non-covalent attachment may be accomplished by simply coating the solid surface with a solution of the polypeptide and drying. Alternatively, an immobilized antibody, preferably a monoclonal antibody, specific for the polypeptide to be immobilized may be used to anchor the polypeptide to the solid surface. The surfaces may be prepared in advance and stored.
In order to conduct the assay, the nonimmobilized component is added to the coated surface containing the anchored component. After the reaction is complete, unreacted components are removed (e.g., by washing) under conditions such that any complexes formed will remain immobilized on the solid surface. The detection of complexes anchored on the solid surface can be accomplished in a number of ways. Where the previously nonimmobilized component is pre-labeled, the detection of label immobilized on the surface indicates that complexes were formed. Where the previously nonimmobilized component is not pre-labeled, an indirect label can be used to detect complexes anchored on the surface; e.g., using a labeled antibody specific for the previously nonimmobilized component (the antibody, in turn, may be directly labeled or indirectly labeled with a labeled anti-Ig antibody).
Alternatively, a reaction can be conducted in a liquid phase, the reaction products separated from unreacted components, and complexes detected; e.g., using an immobilized antibody specific for full-length WF-HABP polypeptide or fusion protein or the test compound to anchor any complexes formed in solution, and a labeled antibody specific for the other component of the possible complex to detect anchored complexes.

Alternatively, cell-based assays can be used to identify compounds that interact with WF-HABP. Such cell-based systems can include, for example, recombinant or non-recombinant cells, such as cell lines, which express the WF-HABP. For example spleen, lymph node, peripheral blood leukocytes, lung, thymus, heart, placenta, brain, bone marrow, and liver cells, or cell lines derived from spleen, lymph node, peripheral blood leukocytes, lung, thymus, heart, placenta, brain, bone marrow, and liver cells can be used. In addition, expression host cells (e.g., COS cells, CHO cells, HEK 293 cells, fibroblasts) genetically engineered (e.g., by transfection or transduction of WF-HABP DNA) to express a functional WF-HABP and to respond to activation by the natural WF-HABP ligand (e.g., a vanilloid compound, such as, for example, capsaicin), e.g., as measured by a chemical or phenotypic change, induction of another host cell gene, change in ion flux (e.g., Ca+2), etc., can be used as an end point in the assay. Interaction of the test compound with, for example, one or more WF-HABP extracellular domains expressed by the host cell can be determined by comparison or competition with WF-HABP ligands (e.g., vanilloid compounds such as, capsaicin), by the ability to induce a WF-HABP mediated cellular response (e.g., ion (e.g., Ca+2) flux), and other techniques known in the art. (See generally Caterina et al., Nature 389:816–824 (1997) which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety). Thus, the present invention also provides a screening method for identifying compounds capable eliciting a cellular response induced by WF-HABP receptors, which involves contacting cells which express WF-HABP with the candidate compound, and comparing the cellular response to that observed in absence of the candidate compound (i.e., the standard); whereby, an increased cellular response over the standard indicates that the compound is an agonist.
Cellular responses that may be assayed according to this embodiment, include, but are not limited to alterations in the expression of the WF-HABP gene, e.g., by assaying cell lysates for WF-HABP mRNA transcripts (e.g., by Northern analysis) or for WF-HABP expressed in the cell; compounds which regulate or modulate expression of the WF-HABP gene are good candidates as therapeutics. Additionally, activity of the WF-HABP signal transduction pathway itself (e.g., cation flux, such as calcium flux) can be routinely assayed using techniques known in the art (see, e.g., Caterina et al., Nature 389:816–824 (1997), the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference in its entirety).
In another embodiment, the present invention is directed to a method for inhibiting an activity (e.g., ion flux (e.g., Ca+2) flux), of WF-HABP induced by a WF-HABP ligand or WF-HABP stimulus (e.g., temperature), which involves administering to a cell which expresses a WF-HABP polypeptide, an effective amount of a WF-HABP receptor ligand, analog or an antagonist capable of decreasing WF-HABP mediated signaling. Preferably, WF-HABP receptor mediated signaling is decreased to treat a disease wherein increased ion flux is exhibited. An antagonist can include soluble forms of the WF-HABP and antibodies directed against the WF-HABP polypeptides which block WF-HABP receptor mediated signaling. Preferably, WF-HABP receptor mediated signaling is decreased to treat a disease, or to decrease survival, secretion, proliferation, migration and/or differentiation of cells.
In an additional embodiment, the present invention is directed to a method for increasing an activity (e.g., ion (e.g., Ca+2) flux), induced by a WF-HABP ligand (e.g., a vanilloid, such as, capsaicin) or WF-HABP stimulus (e.g., heat), which involves administering to a cell which expresses a WF-HABP polypeptide an effective amount of an agonist capable of increasing WF-HABP receptor mediated signaling. Preferably, WF-HABP receptor mediated signaling is increased to treat a disease wherein decreased ion flux is exhibited. Agonists of the present invention include monoclonal antibodies directed against the WF-HABP polypeptides which stimulate WF-HABP receptor mediated signaling. Preferably, WF-HABP receptor mediated signaling is increased to treat a disease, and to increase survival, secretion, proliferation, migration, and/or differentiation of cells.
By “agonist” is intended naturally occurring and synthetic compounds capable of eliciting or enhancing ion (e.g., Ca+2) flux mediated by WF-HABP polypeptides. Such agonists include agents which increase expression of WF-HABP receptors or increase the sensitivity of the expressed receptor. By “antagonist” is intended naturally occurring and synthetic compounds capable of inhibiting WF-HABP mediated ion (e.g., Ca+2) flux. Such antagonists include agents which decrease expression of WF-HABP receptors or decrease the sensitivity of the expressed receptor. Whether any candidate “agonist” or “antagonist” of the present invention can enhance or inhibit a WF-HABP mediated cellular response, such as, for example, ion flux, and cell proliferation, survival, and differentiation can be determined using art-known ligand/receptor cellular response assays, and ion flux assays, including those described herein.
Thus, the present invention also provides a screening method for identifying compounds capable of enhancing or inhibiting a cellular response induced by WF-HABP receptors. The method involves contacting cells which express WF-HABP polypeptides with the candidate compound in the presence of a WF-HABP ligand (e.g., a vanilloid compound, such as, capsaicin) or other stimulus (e.g., heat), assaying a cellular response (e.g., ion (e.g., Ca+2) flux), and comparing the cellular response to a standard cellular response, the standard being assayed when contact is made between the WF-HABP ligand and WF-HABP, or when WF-HABP is exposed to the stimulus, in absence of the candidate compound; whereby, an increased cellular response over the standard indicates that the compound is an agonist of the WF-HABP-mediated signaling pathway and a decreased cellular response over the standard indicates that the compound is an antagonist of the WF-HABP-mediated signaling pathway. By “assaying a cellular response” is intended qualitatively or quantitatively measuring a cellular response to a candidate compound and/or a WF-HABP ligand or WF-HABP stimulus (e.g., determining or estimating an increase or decrease in ion (e.g., Ca+2) flux,). By the invention, a cell expressing a WF-HABP polypeptide can be contacted with either an endogenous or exogenously administered WF-HABP ligand.
One such screening technique involves the use of cells which express the receptor (for example, transfected kidney-derived HEK293 cells) in a system which measures intracellular Ca+2 changes caused by receptor activation, for example, as described Caterina et al., Nature, 389:816–824 (1997). For example, compounds may be contacted with a cell which expresses the WF-HABP polypeptide of the present invention and ion (e.g., Ca+2) flux, may be measured to determine whether the potential compound activates (i.e., leads to elevated ion flux) or inhibits the receptor.
Another method involves screening for compounds which inhibit activation of the receptor polypeptide of the present invention (i.e., antagonists) by determining inhibition of binding of labeled ligand to cells which have the receptor on the surface thereof. Such a method involves transfecting a eukaryotic cell with DNA encoding the WF-HABP polypeptide such that the cell expresses the receptor on its surface and contacting the cell with a compound in the presence of a labeled form of a WF-HABP ligand (e.g., a vanilloid compound, such as capsaicin). The ligand can be labeled, e.g., by radioactivity. The amount of labeled ligand bound to the receptors is measured, e.g., by measuring radioactivity of the WF-HABP polypeptide. If the compound binds to the receptor as determined by a reduction of labeled ligand which binds to the receptors, the binding of labeled ligand to the WF-HABP polypeptide is inhibited.
Soluble forms of the polypeptides of the present invention may be utilized in the ligand binding assay described above. These forms of WF-HABP are contacted with ligands in the extracellular medium after they are secreted. A determination is then made as to whether the secreted protein will bind to WF-HABP receptor ligands.
Agonists according to the present invention include compounds such as, for example, vanilloid receptor ligand peptide fragments, and neurotransmitters. Preferred agonists include WF-HABP polypeptide fragments of the invention and/or polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies raised against a WF-HABP polypeptide, or a fragment thereof.
WF-HABP polypeptides and polynucleotides and compounds identified as WF-HABP agonists or antagonists using assays described herein or otherwise known in the art, have uses which include, but are not limited to, treating diseases, regulating hematopoiesis, regulating immunce responses, regulating cell survival, activation, secretion, migration and differentiation, regulating pain, and in developing analgesic agents and in furthering our understanding of pain insensitivity and pain syndromes.
Prophylactic and Therapeutic Methods
It is to be understood that although the following discussion is specifically directed to human patients, the teachings are also applicable to any animal that expresses the full-length WF-HABP.
As noted above, the full-length WF-HABP is structurally related to members of the hyaluronan receptor family and shares significant homology with the human TSG-6 and link proteins which have been demonstrated to be involved in the formation and stability of the extracellular matrix, cellular migration, cellular proliferation, cellular adhesion, and is believed to be involved in diverse human diseases which include, but are not limited to arthritis, delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions, integumentary disorders, hematopoiesis, lymphocyte activation, inflammatory conditions, vascular disorders, and metastasis. Thus, it is likely that the full-length WF-HABP is active in modulating growth regulatory activities (e.g., cell survival, secretion, differentiation and/or cell proliferation). Further, the full-length WF-HABP, like TSG-6, might be involved in the adhesion and migration of cells which leads to conditions such as inflammation and ischemia. Correspondingly, the novel expression profile of full-length WF-HABP suggests that it may play a role in a broader variety of cell types than observed for TSG-6. Particularly, the full-length WF-HABP is expressed on vascular and non-vascular tissues and cells, though most notably in vascular tissues such as heart, placenta, lung, liver, kidney, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC), and smooth muscle cells (SMC). Thus, the full-length WF-HABP plays a potential role in regulating a varitey of cellular functions, particularly cellular adhesion for cells, such as, vascular cells (e.g., IUVEC, SMC, etc.), and this interaction is likely to result in activation, survival, proliferation, migration, and differentiation, as well as the regulation of cytokine profiles by such cells. The full-length WF-HABP potentially mediates the interaction of other cells to cells in which the full-length WF-HABP is expressed. Thus the full-length WF-HABP is likely to play a role in influencing various diseases or medical conditions, including, but not limited to, inflammation, host defense, immune surveillance, arthritis, MS, autoimmunity, immune dysfunction, and allergy. Additionally, the full-length WF-HABP appears to be expressed in other cell populations (e.g., endothelial cells, mesenchymal cells, epithelial cells, musclular) and thus the full-length WF-HABP likely regulates adhesion onto these cells, thereby regulating their survival, differentiation, morphology, and proliferation. Accordingly, it is likely that the full-length WF-HABP plays a role in other physiological or disease conditions, including, cancer, angiogenesis, wound healing, fibrosis, metastasis and tissue regeneration.
As noted above, the WF-HABP is structurally related to members of the hyaluronan receptor family and shares significant homology with the human TSG-6 and link proteins which have been demonstrated to be involved in the formation and stability of the extracellular matrix, cellular migration, cellular proliferation, cellular adhesion, and is believed to be involved in diverse human diseases which include, but are not limited to arthritis, delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions, integumentary disorders, hematopoiesis, lymphocyte activation, inflammatory conditions, vascular disorders, and metastasis.

Additionally, the WF-HABP appears to be expressed in other cell populations (e.g., endothelial cells, mesenchymal cells, epithelial cells, musclular) and thus the WF-HABP likely regulates adhesion onto these cells, thereby regulating their survival, differentiation, morphology, and proliferation. Accordingly, it is likely that the WF-HABP plays a role in other physiological or disease conditions, including, cancer, angiogenesis, wound healing, fibrosis, metastasis and tissue regeneration.
As noted above, the OE-HABP is structurally related to members of the hyaluronan receptor family and shares significant homology with the cartilage link proteins which have been demonstrated to be involved in the formation and stability of the extracellular matrix, cellular migration, cellular proliferation, cellular adhesion, and is believed to be involved in diverse human diseases which include, but are not limited to arthritis, delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions, integumentary disorders, hematopoiesis, lymphocyte activation, inflammatory conditions, vascular disorders, and metastasis. Thus, it is likely that the OE-HABP is active in modulating growth regulatory activities (e.g., cell survival, secretion, differentiation and/or cell proliferation). Further, the OE-HABP, like Link, might be involved in the adhesion and migration of cells which leads to conditions such as inflammation and ischemia. Correspondingly, the novel expression profile of OE-HABP suggests that it may play a role in a broader variety of cell types than observed for the link protein. Particularly, the OE-HABP is expressed on vascular and non-vascular tissues and cells, though most notably in vascular tissues such as heart, placenta, lung, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC), and smooth muscle cells (SMC). Thus, the OE-HABP plays a potential role in regulating a varitey of cellular functions, particularly cellular adhesion for cells, such as, vascular cells (e.g., HUVEC, SMC, etc.), and this interaction is likely to result in activation, survival, proliferation, migration, and differentiation, as well as the regulation of cytokine profiles by such cells. OE-HABP potentially mediates the interaction of other cells to cells in which OE-HABP is expressed. Thus the OE-HABP is likely to play a role in influencing various diseases or medical conditions, including, but not limited to, inflammation, host defense, immune surveillance, arthritis, MS, autoimmunity, immune dysfunction, and allergy. In fact, link protein is thought to be a potential autoantigen in the development of arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis, and therefore, OE-HABP may play a role in the pathogenesis of these diseases. Additionally, the OE-HABP appears to be expressed in other cell populations (e.g., endothelial cells, mesenchymal cells, epithelial cells, musclular) and thus the OE-HABP likely regulates adhesion onto these cells, thereby regulating their survival, differentiation, morphology, and proliferation. Accordingly, it is likely that the OE-HABP plays a role in other physiological or disease conditions, including, cancer, angiogenesis, wound healing, fibrosis, metastasis and tissue regeneration.
As noted above, the BM-HABP is structurally related to members of the hyaluronan receptor family and shares significant homology with the TSG-6 proteins which have been demonstrated to be involved in the formation and stability of the extracellular matrix, cellular migration, cellular proliferation, cellular adhesion, and is believed to be involved in diverse human diseases which include, but are not limited to arthritis, delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions, integumentary disorders, hematopoiesis, lymphocyte activation, inflammatory conditions, vascular disorders, and metastasis. Thus, it is likely that the BM-HABP is active in modulating growth regulatory activities (e.g., cell survival, secretion, differentiation and/or cell proliferation). Further, the BM-HABP, like TSG-6, might be involved in the adhesion and migration of cells which leads to conditions such as inflammation and ischemia. Correspondingly, the novel expression profile of BM-HABP suggests that it may play a role in a broader variety of cell types than observed for TSG-6. Particularly, the BM-HABP is expressed in liver tissue. Unlike TSG-6, significant expression within vascular tissues was not detected suggesting BM-HABP may play a more divergent role in other tissues. However, based upon the strucutural similarity to TSG-6, BM-HABP may play a potential role in regulating a variety of cellular functions, particularly cellular adhesion for cells, such as, endothelial cells (e.g., liver, etc.), and this interaction is likely to result in activation, survival, proliferation, migration, and differentiation, as well as the regulation of cytokine profiles by such cells. Thus the BM-HABP is likely to play a role in influencing various diseases or medical conditions, including, but not limited to, inflammation, host defense, immune surveillance, arthritis, MS, autoimmunity, immune dysfunction, and allergy. Additionally, the BM-HABP appears to be expressed in other cell populations (e.g., endothelial cells, mesenchymal cells, epithelial cells, metabolic) and thus the BM-HABP likely regulates adhesion onto these cells, thereby regulating their survival, differentiation, morphology, and proliferation. Accordingly, it is likely that the BM-HABP plays a role in other physiological or disease conditions, including, cancer, angiogenesis, wound healing, fibrosis, metastasis and tissue regeneration.
Any method which neutralizes or enhances full-length WF-HABP mediated signaling can be used to modulate growth regulatory activities (e.g., cell proliferation, metastasis), and other activities mediated by full-length WF-HABP activity, such as, for example, extravasation, inflammation, host defense, immune surveillance, arthritis, MS, autoimmunity, immune dysfunction, allergy, cancer, angiogenesis, wound healing, water homeostasis, macromolecular filtration, lubrication, fibrosis, and tissue regeneration.

It will also be appreciated by one of ordinary skill that the BM-HABP agonists of the invention will exert modulating activities on any of its target cells. Therefore, it will be appreciated that conditions caused by a decrease in the standard or normal level of BM-HABP mediated activity in an individual, can be treated by administration of BM-HABP polypeptide or an agonist thereof.

For treating abnormal conditions related to an under-expression of full-length WF-HABP and its activity, or in which elevated or decreased levels of full-length WF-HABP are desired, several approaches are available. One approach comprises administering to an individual in need of an increased level of full-length WF-HABP mediated activity in the body, a therapeutically effective amount of an isolated full-length WF-HABP polypeptide, fragment, variant, derivative or analog of the invention, or a compound which activates full-length WF-HABP, i.e., an agonist as described above, optionally in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Alternatively, gene therapy may be employed to effect the endogenous production of full-length WF-HABP by the relevant cells in the subject. For example, a polynucleotide of the invention may be engineered for expression in a replication defective retroviral vector using techniques known in the art. The retroviral expression construct may then be isolated and introduced into a packaging cell transduced with a retroviral plasmid vector containing RNA encoding a polypeptide of the present invention such that the packaging cell now produces infectious viral particles containing the gene of interest. These producer cells may be administered to a subject for engineering cells in vivo and expression of the polypeptide in vivo. For an overview of gene therapy, see Chapter 20, Gene Therapy and other Molecular Genetic-based Therapeutic Approaches, (and references cited therein) in Human Molecular Genetics, T Strachan and A P Read, BIOS Scientific Publishers Ltd (1996).

Further, treatment can be administered, for example, in the form of gene replacement therapy. Specifically, one or more copies of a full-length WF-HABP nucleotide sequence of the invention that directs the production of a full-length WF-HABP gene product exhibiting normal function, may be inserted into the appropriate cells within a patient or animal subject, using vectors which include, but are not limited to, adenovirus, adeno-associated virus, retrovirus and herpesvirus vectors, in addition to other particles that introduce DNA into cells, such as liposomes and gene activated matrices. Because the full-length WF-HABP gene is expressed in hematopoietic tissue, lymph, bone, peripheral blood leukocytes etc, such gene replacement techniques should be capable of delivering full-length WF-HABP gene sequence to these cells within patients, or, alternatively, should involve direct administration of such full-length WF-HABP polynucleotide sequences to the site of the cells in which the full-length WF-HABP gene sequences are to be expressed. Alternatively, targeted homologous recombination can be utilized to correct the defective endogenous full-length WF-HABP gene and/or regulatory sequences thereof (e.g., promoter and enhancer sequences), or alternatively, to “turn on” other dormant full-length WF-HABP activity in the appropriate tissue or cell type.

In another approach, full-length WF-HABP activity can be reduced or inhibited by decreasing the level of full-length WF-HABP gene expression. In one embodiment, this is accomplished through the use of antisense sequences, either internally generated or separately administered (see, for example, O'Connor, J. Neurochem. (1991) 56:560 in Oligodeoxynucleotides as Antisense Inhibitors of Gene Expression, CRC Press, Boca Raton, Fla. (1988). Antisense technology can be used to control gene expression through antisense DNA or RNA or through triple-helix formation. Antisense techniques are discussed, for example, in Okano, J. Neurochem. 56:560 (1991); Oligodeoxynucleotides as Antisense Inhibitors of Gene Expression, CRC Press, Boca Raton, Fla. (1988). Triple helix formation is discussed in, for instance, Lee et al., Nucleic Acids Research 6:3073 (1979); Cooney et al., Science 241:456 (1988); and Dervan et al., Science 251:1360 (1991). The methods are based on binding of a polynucleotide to a complementary DNA or RNA. For example, the 5′ coding portion of a polynucleotide that encodes full-length WF-HABP polypeptide of the present invention may be used to design an antisense RNA oligonucleotide of from about 10 to 40 base pairs in length. A DNA oligonucleotide is designed to be complementary to a region of the gene involved in transcription thereby preventing transcription and the production of the full-length WF-HABP polypeptide. The antisense RNA oligonucleotide hybridizes to the mRNA in vivo and blocks translation of the mRNA molecule into polypeptide.

In one embodiment, the full-length WF-HABP antisense nucleic acid of the invention is produced intracellularly by transcription from an exogenous sequence. For example, a vector or a portion thereof, is transcribed, producing an antisense nucleic acid (RNA) of the invention. Such a vector would contain a sequence encoding the full-length WF-HABP antisense nucleic acid. Such a vector can remain episomal or become chromosomally integrated, as long as it can be transcribed to produce the desired antisense RNA. Such vectors can be constructed by recombinant DNA technology methods standard in the art. Vectors can be plasmid, viral, or others know in the art, used for replication and expression in vertebrate cells. Expression of the sequence encoding full-length WF-HABP, or fragments thereof, can be by any promoter known in the art to act in vertebrate, preferably human cells. Such promoters can be inducible or constitutive.

The antisense nucleic acids of the invention comprise a sequence complementary to at least a portion of an RNA transcript of a full-length WF-HABP gene. However, absolute complementarity, although preferred, is not required. A sequence “complementary to at least a portion of an RNA,” referred to herein, means a sequence having sufficient complementarity to be able to hybridize with the RNA, forming a stable duplex; in the case of double stranded full-length WF-HABP antisense nucleic acids, a single strand of the duplex DNA may thus be tested, or triplex formation may be assayed. The ability to hybridize will depend on both the degree of complementarity and the length of the antisense nucleic acid. Generally, the larger the hybridizing nucleic acid, the more base mismatches with a full-length WF-HABP RNA it may contain and still form a stable duplex (or triplex as the case may be). One skilled in the art can ascertain a tolerable degree of mismatch by use of standard procedures to determine the melting point of the hybridized complex.

Potential full-length WF-HABP antagonists according to the invention also include catalytic RNA, or a ribozyme (See, e.g., PCT International Publication WO 90/11364, published Oct. 4, 1990; Sarver et al., Science 247:1222–1225 (1990). While ribozymes that cleave mRNA at site specific recognition sequences can be used to destroy full-length WF-HABP mRNAs, the use of hammerhead ribozymes is preferred. Hammerhead ribozymes cleave mRNAs at locations dictated by flanking regions that form complementary base pairs with the target mRNA. The sole requirement is that the target mRNA have the following sequence of two bases: 5′-UG-3′. The construction and production of hammerhead ribozymes is well known in the art and is described more fully in Haseloff and Gerlach, Nature 334:585–591 (1988). There are numerous potential hammerhead ribozyme cleavage sites within the nucleotide sequence of full-length WF-HABP (FIGS. 1A–P; SEQ ID NO:1). Preferably, the ribozyme is engineered so that the cleavage recognition site is located near the 5′ end of the full-length WF-HABP mRNA; i.e., to increase efficiency and minimize the intracellular accumulation of non-functional mRNA transcripts. DNA constructs encoding the ribozyme may be introduced into the cell in the same manner as described above for the introduction of antisense encoding DNA. Since ribozymes, unlike antisense molecules are catalytic, a lower intracellular concentration is required for efficiency.

Formulation and Administration
It will be appreciated that conditions caused by a decrease in the standard or normal level of full-length WF-HABP mediated activity in an individual, can be treated by administration of full-length WF-HABP polypeptide or fragment, variant, derivative, or analog of the invention or an agonist thereof. Thus, the invention further provides a method of treating an individual in need of an increased level of full-length WF-HABP mediated activity comprising administering to such an individual a pharmaceutical composition comprising an effective amount of an isolated full-length WF-HABP polynucleotide or polypeptide; or fragment, variant, derivative, or analog of the invention, such as for example, the full length form of the full-length WF-HABP encoding polynucleotide, effective to increase the full-length WF-HABP mediated activity level in such an individual.

The dosage range required depends on the choice of peptide, the route of administration, the nature of the formulation, the nature of the subject's condition, and the judgment of the attending practitioner. As a general proposition, the total pharmaceutically effective amount of full-length WF-HABP polypeptide administered parenterally per dose will be in the range of about 1 μg/kg/day to 10 mg/kg/day of patient body weight, although, as noted above, this will be subject to therapeutic discretion. More preferably, this dose is at least 0.01 mg/kg/day, and most preferably for humans this dose is in the range of 0.1–100 mg/kg of subject, or between about 0.01 and 1 mg/kg/day. If given continuously, the full-length WF-HABP polypeptide is typically administered at a dose rate of about 1 μg/kg/hour to about 50 μg/kg/hour, either by 1–4 injections per day or by continuous subcutaneous infusions, for example, using a mini-pump. An intravenous bag solution may also be employed. Wide variations in the needed dosage, however, are to be expected in view of the variety of compounds available and the differing efficiencies of various routes of administration. For example, oral administration would be expected to require higher dosages than administration by intravenous injection. Variations in these dosage levels can be adjusted using standard empirical routines for optimization, as is well understood in the art.

Polypeptides and other compounds of the present invention may be administered alone or in conjunction with other compounds, such as therapeutic compounds. The pharmaceutical composition of the invention may be administered orally, rectally, parenterally, intracistemally, intravaginally, intraperitoneally, topically (as by powders, ointments, drops or transdermal patch), bucally, or as an oral or nasal spray. Preferred forms of systemic administration of the pharmaceutical compositions include parenteral injection, typically by intravenous injection. Other injection routes, such as subcutaneous, intramuscular, intrasternal, intraarticular or intraperitoneal, can be used. Alternative means for systemic administration include transmucosal and transdermal administration using penetrants such as bile salts or fusidic acids or other detergents. In addition, if properly formulated in enteric or encapsulated formulations, oral administration may also be possible. Administration of these compounds may also be topical and/or localized, in the form of salves, pastes, gels and the like.
Polypeptides used in treatment can also be generated endogenously in the subject, in treatment modalities often referred to as “gene therapy” as described above. Thus, for example, cells from a subject may be engineered with a polynucleotide, such as a DNA or RNA, to encode a polypeptide ex vivo, and for example, by the use of a retroviral plasmid vector. The cells are then introduced into the subject.
Gene Mapping
The nucleic acid molecules of the present invention are also valuable for chromosome identification. The sequence is specifically targeted to and can hybridize with a particular location on an individual human chromosome. Moreover, there is a current need for identifying particular sites on the chromosome. Few chromosome marking reagents based on actual sequence data (repeat polymorphisms) are presently available for marking chromosomal location. The mapping of DNAs to chromosomes according to the present invention is an important first step in correlating those sequences with genes associated with disease.
In certain preferred embodiments in this regard, the cDNA herein disclosed is used to clone genomic DNA of a full-length WF-HABP gene. This can be accomplished using a variety of well known techniques and libraries, which generally are available commercially. The genomic DNA then is used for in situ chromosome mapping using well known techniques for this purpose. The gene encoding the disclosed cDNA is believed to reside on chromosome 3. Accordingly, polynucleotides related to this invention are useful as a marker in linkage analysis for chromosome 3.

This can be accomplished using a variety of well known techniques and libraries, which generally are available commercially. The genomic DNA then is used for in situ chromosome mapping using well known techniques for this purpose.
In addition, in some cases, sequences can be mapped to chromosomes by preparing PCR primers (preferably 15–25 bp) from the cDNA. Computer analysis of the 3′ untranslated region of the gene is used to rapidly select primers that do not span more than one exon in the genomic DNA, thus complicating the amplification process. These primers are then used for PCR screening of somatic cell hybrids containing individual human chromosomes. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (“FISH”) of a cDNA clone to a metaphase chromosomal spread can be used to provide a precise chromosomal location in one step. This technique can be used with probes from the cDNA as short as 50 or 60 bp. For a review of this technique, see Verma et al., Human Chromosomes: A Manual Of Basic Techniques, Pergamon Press, New York (1988).
Once a sequence has been mapped to a precise chromosomal location, the physical position of the sequence on the chromosome can be correlated with genetic map data. Such data are found, for example, in V. McKusick, Mendelian Inheritance In Man, available on-line through Johns Hopkins University, Welch Medical Library. The relationship between genes and diseases that have been mapped to the same chromosomal region are then identified through linkage analysis (coinheritance of physically adjacent genes).
Next, it is necessary to determine the differences in the cDNA or genomic sequence between affected and unaffected individuals. If a mutation is observed in some or all of the affected individuals but not in any normal individuals, then the mutation is likely to be the causative agent of the disease.
Having generally described the invention, the same will be more readily understood by reference to the following examples, which are provided by way of illustration and are not intended as limiting. Thus, the present invention is not to be limited in scope by the specific embodiments described herein, which are intended as single illustrations of individual aspects of the invention. Indeed, various modifications of the invention, in addition to those shown and described herein will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the foregoing description and accompanying drawings. Such modifications are intended to fall within the scope of the appended claims.
The entire disclosure of all publications (including patents, patent applications, journal articles, laboratory manuals, books, or other documents) cited herein are hereby incorporated by reference.
Further, the Sequence Listing submitted herewith in paper and computer readable form is herein incorporated by reference in their entireties.
EXAMPLES
Example 1
Isolation of the WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP cDNA Clone From the Deposited Sample
The cDNA for WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP is inserted into the EcoRI and Xho I multiple cloning site of pBluescript (Stratagene). pBluescript contains an ampicillin resistance gene and may be transformed into E. coli strain DH10B, available from Life Technologies. (See, for instance, Gruber, C. E., et al., Focus 15:59- (1993).)
Two approaches can be used to isolate WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP from the deposited sample. First, a specific polynucleotide of SEQ ID NO:1, 4, 7, or 10 with 30–40 nucleotides is synthesized using an Applied Biosystems DNA synthesizer according to the sequence reported. The oligonucleotide is labeled, for instance, with 32P-g-ATP using T4 polynucleotide kinase and purified according to routine methods. (E.g., Maniatis et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Press, Cold Spring, N.Y. (1982).) The plasmid mixture is transformed into a suitable host (such as XL-1 Blue (Stratagene)) using techniques known to those of skill in the art, such as those provided by the vector supplier or in related publications or patents. The transformants are plated on 1.5% agar plates (containing the appropriate selection agent, e.g., ampicillin) to a density of about 150 transformants (colonies) per plate. These plates are screened using Nylon membranes according to routine methods for bacterial colony screening (e.g., Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 2nd Edit., (1989), Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, pages 1.93 to 1.104), or other techniques known to those of skill in the art.
Alternatively, two primers of 17–20 nucleotides derived from both ends of the SEQ ID NO:1, 4, 7, or 10 (i.e., within the region of SEQ ID NO:1, 4, 7, or 10 bounded by the 5′ NT and the 3′ NT of the clone) are synthesized and used to amplify the WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP cDNA using the deposited cDNA plasmid as a template. The polymerase chain reaction is carried out under routine conditions, for instance, in 25 ul of reaction mixture with 0.5 μg of the above cDNA template. A convenient reaction mixture is 1.5–5 mM MgCl2, 0.01% (w/v) gelatin, 20 uM each of dATP, dCTP, dGTP, dTTP, 25 pmol of each primer and 0.25 Unit of Taq polymerase. Thirty five cycles of PCR (denaturation at 94 degree C. for 1 min; annealing at 55 degree C. for 1 min; elongation at 72 degree C. for 1 min) are performed with a Perkin-Elmer Cetus automated thermal cycler. The amplified product is analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis and the DNA band with expected molecular weight is excised and purified. The PCR product is verified to be the selected sequence by subcloning and sequencing the DNA product.
Several methods are available for the identification of the 5′ or 3′ non-coding portions of the WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP gene which may not be present in the deposited clone. These methods include but are not limited to, filter probing, clone enrichment using specific probes, and protocols similar or identical to 5′ and 3′ “RACE” protocols which are well known in the art. For instance, a method similar to 5′ RACE is available for generating the missing 5′ end of a desired full-length transcript. (Fromont-Racine et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 21(7):1683–1684 (1993).)
Briefly, a specific RNA oligonucleotide is ligated to the 5′ ends of a population of RNA presumably containing full-length gene RNA transcripts. A primer set containing a primer specific to the ligated RNA oligonucleotide and a primer specific to a known sequence of the WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP gene of interest is used to PCR amplify the 5′ portion of the WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP full-length gene. This amplified product may then be sequenced and used to generate the full length gene.
This above method starts with total RNA isolated from the desired source, although poly-A+ RNA can be used. The RNA preparation can then be treated with phosphatase if necessary to eliminate 5′ phosphate groups on degraded or damaged RNA which may interfere with the later RNA ligase step. The phosphatase should then be inactivated and the RNA treated with tobacco acid pyrophosphatase in order to remove the cap structure present at the 5′ ends of messenger RNAs. This reaction leaves a 5′ phosphate group at the 5′ end of the cap cleaved RNA which can then be ligated to an RNA oligonucleotide using T4 RNA ligase.
This modified RNA preparation is used as a template for first strand cDNA synthesis using a gene specific oligonucleotide. The first strand synthesis reaction is used as a template for PCR amplification of the desired 5′ end using a primer specific to the ligated RNA oligonucleotide and a primer specific to the known sequence of the gene of interest. The resultant product is then sequenced and analyzed to confirm that the 5′ end sequence belongs to the WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP gene.
Example 2
Isolation of Full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP Genomic Clones
A human genomic P1 library (Genomic Systems, Inc.) is screened by PCR using primers selected for the cDNA sequence corresponding to SEQ ID NO:1, 4, 7, or 10., according to the method described in Example 1. (See also, Sambrook.)
Example 3
Chromosomal Mapping of Full-length WF-HABP, WF-IABP, OE-HLABP, or BM-HABP
An oligonucleotide primer set is designed according to the sequence at the 5′ end of SEQ ID NO:1, 4, 7, or 10. This primer preferably spans about 100 nucleotides. This primer set is then used in a polymerase chain reaction under the following set of conditions: 30 seconds, 95 degree C.; 1 minute, 56 degree C.; 1 minute, 70 degree C. This cycle is repeated 32 times followed by one 5 minute cycle at 70 degree C. Human, mouse, and hamster DNA is used as template in addition to a somatic cell hybrid panel containing individual chromosomes or chromosome fragments (Bios, Inc). The reactions is analyzed on either 8% polyacrylamide gels or 3.5% agarose gels. Chromosome mapping is determined by the presence of an approximately 100 bp PCR fragment in the particular somatic cell hybrid. For example, the gene encoding the disclosed full-length WF-HABP cDNA is believed to reside on chromosome 3. Accordingly, polynucleotides related to this invention are useful as a marker in linkage analysis for chromosome 3. Moreover, the gene encoding the disclosed OE-HABP cDNA is believed to reside on chromosome 15. Accordingly, polynucleotides related to this invention are useful as a marker in linkage analysis for chromosome 15.
Example 4
Bacterial Expression of Full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP Protein
Full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polynucleotide encoding a full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polypeptide of the invention is amplified using PCR oligonucleotide primers corresponding to the 5′ and 3′ ends of the DNA sequence, as outlined in Example 1, to synthesize insertion fragments. The primers used to amplify the cDNA insert should preferably contain restriction sites, such as BamrHI and XbaI, at the 5′ end of the primers in order to clone the amplified product into the expression vector. For example, BAMHI and XbaI correspond to the restriction enzyme sites on the bacterial expression vector pQE-9. (Qiagen Inc, Chatsworth, Calif.). This plasmid vector encodes antibiotic resistance (Ampr), a bacterial origin of replication (ori), an IPTG-regulatable promoter/operator (P/O), a ribosome binding site (RBS), a 6-histidine tag (6-His), and restriction enzyme cloning sites.
Specifically, to clone the full-length WF-HABP polypeptide in a bacterial vector, the 5′ primer has the sequence 5′ GCAGCAGGATCCATGATGGACCAGGGCTGCCGGGAAATCCTTAC 3′ (SEQ ID NO:13) containing the underlined EcoRI restriction site followed by a number of nucleotides of the amino terminal coding sequence of the full-length WF-HABP sequence in SEQ ID NO:1. One of ordinary skill in the art would appreciate, of course, that the point in the protein coding sequence where the 5′ primer begins may be varied to amplify a DNA segment encoding any desired portion of the complete full-length WF-HABP protein shorter or longer than the full-length form of the protein. The 3′ primer has the sequence 5′ GCAGCATCTAGATCACTTGACTGTGAGGATCCTCTGGGTGTCAG 3′(SEQ ID NO:14) containing the underlined XhoI restriction site followed by a number nucleotides complementary to the 3′ end of the coding sequence of the full-length WF-HABP polynucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1.

One of ordinary skill in the art would appreciate, of course, that the point in the protein coding sequence where the 5′ primer begins may be varied to amplify a DNA segment encoding any desired portion of the complete WF-HABP protein shorter or longer than the full-length form of the protein.

The PQE-9 vector is digested with BamHI and XbaI and the amplified fragment is ligated into the pBluescript vector maintaining the reading frame initiated at the bacterial RBS. The ligation mixture is then used to transform the E. coli strain M15/rep4 (Qiagen, Inc.) which contains multiple copies of the plasmid pREP4, which expresses the lacI repressor and also confers kanamycin resistance (Kanr). Transformants are identified by their ability to grow on LB plates and ampicillin/kanamycin resistant colonies are selected. Plasmid DNA is isolated and confirmed by restriction analysis.
Clones containing the desired constructs are grown overnight (O/N) in liquid culture in LB media supplemented with both Amp (100 ug/ml) and Kan (25 ug/ml). The O/N culture is used to inoculate a large culture at a ratio of 1:100 to 1:250. The cells are grown to an optical density 600 (O.D.600) of between 0.4 and 0.6. IPTG (Isopropyl-B-D-thiogalacto pyranoside) is then added to a final concentration of 1 mM. IPTG induces by inactivating the lacI repressor, clearing the P/O leading to increased gene expression.
Cells are grown for an extra 3 to 4 hours. Cells are then harvested by centrifugation (20 mins at 6000×g).
In addition to the above expression vector, the present invention further includes an expression vector comprising phage operator and promoter elements operatively linked to a full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polynucleotide, called pHE4a. (ATCC Accession Number 209645, deposited Feb. 25, 1998.) This vector contains: 1) a neomycinphosphotransferase gene as a selection marker, 2) an E. coli origin of replication, 3) a T5 phage promoter sequence, 4) two lac operator sequences, 5) a Shine-Delgarno sequence, and 6) the lactose operon repressor gene (lacIq). The origin of replication (oriC) is derived from pUC19 (LTI, Gaithersburg, Md.). The promoter sequence and operator sequences are made synthetically.
DNA can be inserted into the pHEa by restricting the vector with NdeI and KpnI, BamHI, XhoI, or Asp718, running the restricted product on a gel, and isolating the larger fragment (the stuffer fragment should be about 310 base pairs). The DNA insert is generated according to the PCR protocol described in Example 1, using PCR primers having restriction sites for NdeI (5′ primer) and XbaI, BamHI, XhoI, or Asp718 (3′ primer). The PCR insert is gel purified and restricted with compatible enzymes. The insert and vector are ligated according to standard protocols.
The engineered vector could easily be substituted in the above protocol to express protein in a bacterial system.
Example 5
Cloning and Expression of Full-length WF-RABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP in a Baculovirus Expression System
In this example, the plasmid shuttle vector pA2 is used to insert full-length WF-HABP, WF-RABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polynucleotide into a baculovirus to express insert full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP. This expression vector contains the strong polyhedrin promoter of the Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcMNPV) followed by convenient restriction sites such as BamHI, Xba I and Asp718. The polyadenylation site of the simian virus 40 (“SV40”) is used for efficient polyadenylation. For easy selection of recombinant virus, the plasmid contains the beta-galactosidase gene from E. coli under control of a weak Drosophila promoter in the same orientation, followed by the polyadenylation signal of the polyhedrin gene. The inserted genes are flanked on both sides by viral sequences for cell-mediated homologous recombination with wild-type viral DNA to generate a viable virus that express the cloned full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polynucleotide.
Many other baculovirus vectors can be used in place of the vector above, such as pAc373, pVL941, and pAcIMI, as one skilled in the art would readily appreciate, as long as the construct provides appropriately located signals for transcription, translation, secretion and the like, including a signal peptide and an in-frame AUG as required. Such vectors are described, for instance, in Luckow et al., Virology 170:31–39 (1989).
Specifically, the full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP cDNA sequence contained in the deposited clone, including the AUG initiation codon and any naturally associated leader sequence, is amplified using the PCR protocol described in Example 1. If the naturally occurring signal sequence is used to produce the secreted protein, the pA2 vector does not need a second signal peptide. Alternatively, the vector can be modified (pA2 GP) to include a baculovirus leader sequence, using the standard methods described in Summers et al., “A Manual of Methods for Baculovirus Vectors and Insect Cell Culture Procedures,” Texas Agricultural Experimental Station Bulletin No. 1555 (1987).
More specifically, the cDNA sequence encoding the full-length WF-HABP protein including the AUG initiation codon and the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:1, is amplified using PCR oligonucleotide primers corresponding to the 5′ and 3′ sequences of the gene. The 5′ primer has the sequence 5′ GCAGCAAGATCTGCCATCATGATGGACCAGGGCTGCCGGGAAATCCTT
AC 3′ (SEQ ID NO:21) containing the BglII restriction enzyme site, an efficient signal for initiation of translation in eukaryotic cells (Kozak, M., J. Mol. Biol. 196:947–950 (1987)), followed by a number of nucleotides of the sequence of the complete full-length WF-HABP protein shown in FIGS. 1A–P (SEQ ID NO:1), beginning with the AUG initiation codon. The 3′ primer has the sequence 5′ GCAGCATCTAGATCACTTGACTGTGAGGATCCTCTGGGTGTCAGG 3′ (SEQ ID NO:22) containing the XbaI restriction site followed by a number of nucleotides complementary to the 3′ noncoding sequence in FIGS. 1A–P (SEQ ID NO:1).

Biol. 196:947–950 (1987)), followed by a number of nucleotides of the sequence of the complete WF-HABP protein shown in FIGS. 2A–D (SEQ ID NO:4), beginning with the AUG initiation codon. The 3′ primer has the sequence 5′ GCAGCATCTAGATCACTTGACTGTGAGGATCCTCTGGGTGTCAGG 3′ (SEQ ID NO: 24) containing the XbaI restriction site followed by a number of nucleotides complementary to the 3′ noncoding sequence in FIGS. 2A–D (SEQ ID NO:4).
More specifically, the cDNA sequence encoding the OE-HABP protein of the deposited clone, including the AUG initiation codon and the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:7, is amplified using PCR oligonucleotide primers corresponding to the 5′ and 3′ sequences of the gene. The 5′ primer has the sequence 5′ GCAGCAAGATCTGCCATCATGGGCCTGTTGCTCCTGGTCCCATTGCTCC
TGCTG 3′ (SEQ ID NO: 25) containing the BgIII restriction enzyme site, an efficient signal for initiation of translation in eukaryotic cells (Kozak, M., J. Mol. Biol. 196:947–950 (1987)), followed by a number of nucleotides of the sequence of the complete OE-HABP protein shown in FIGS. 3A–C (SEQ ID NO:7), beginning with the AUG initiation codon. The 3′ primer has the sequence 5′ GCAGCATCTAGAATTTTTCTTGGCAGGCTTCCCTTGCTTNTGTCAG 3′ (SEQ ID NO: 26) containing the XbaI restriction site followed by a number of nucleotides complementary to the 3′ noncoding sequence in FIGS. 3A–C (SEQ ID NO:7).
More specifically, the cDNA sequence encoding the BM-HABP protein of the deposited clone, including the AUG initiation codon and the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:10, is amplified using PCR oligonucleotide primers corresponding to the 5′ and 3′ sequences of the gene. The 5′ primer has the sequence 5′ GCAGCAAGATCTGCCATCATGACAGGCCCGGGCAAGCACAAGTGTGAGTG 3′ (SEQ ID NO:27) containing the BglII restriction enzyme site, an efficient signal for initiation of translation in eukaryotic cells (Kozak, M., J. Mol. Biol. 196:947–950 (1987)), followed by a number of nucleotides of the sequence of the complete BM-HABP protein shown in FIGS. 4A–C (SEQ ID NO:10), beginning with the AUG initiation codon. The 3′ primer has the sequence 5′ GCAGCATCTAGATCAAAATGNTGGAAGCCGATTGTTTTCCGGTTTATCC 3′ (SEQ ID NO: 28) containing the XbaI restriction site followed by a number of nucleotides complementary to the 3′ noncoding sequence in FIGS. 4A–C (SEQ ID NO:10).
The amplified fragment is isolated from a 1% agarose gel using a commercially available kit (“Geneclean,” BIO 101 Inc., La Jolla, Calif.). The fragment then is digested with appropriate restriction enzymes and again purified on a 1% agarose gel.
The plasmid is digested with the corresponding restriction enzymes and optionally, can be dephosphorylated using calf intestinal phosphatase, using routine procedures known in the art. The DNA is then isolated from a 1% agarose gel using a commercially available kit (“Geneclean” BIO 101 Inc., La Jolla, Calif.).
The fragment and the dephosphorylated plasmid are ligated together with T4 DNA ligase. E. coli HB101 or other suitable E. coli hosts such as XL-1 Blue (Stratagene Cloning Systems, La Jolla, Calif.) cells are transformed with the ligation mixture and spread on culture plates. Bacteria containing the plasmid are identified by digesting DNA from individual colonies and analyzing the digestion product by gel electrophoresis. The sequence of the cloned fragment is confirmed by DNA sequencing.
Five ug of a plasmid containing the polynucleotide is co-transfected with 1.0 ug of a commercially available linearized baculovirus DNA (“BaculoGoldô baculovirus DNA”, Pharmingen, San Diego, Calif.), using the lipofection method described by Felgner et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 84:7413–7417 (1987). One ug of BaculoGoldô virus DNA and 5 ug of the plasmid are mixed in a sterile well of a microtiter plate containing 50 ul of serum-free Grace's medium (Life Technologies Inc., Gaithersburg, Md.). Afterwards, 10 ul Lipofectin plus 90 ul Grace's medium are added, mixed and incubated for 15 minutes at room temperature. Then the transfection mixture is added drop-wise to Sf9 insect cells (ATCC CRL 1711) seeded in a 35 mm tissue culture plate with 1 ml Grace's medium without serum. The plate is then incubated for 5 hours at 27 degrees C. The transfection solution is then removed from the plate and 1 ml of Grace's insect medium supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum is added. Cultivation is then continued at 27 degrees C. for four days.
After four days the supernatant is collected and a plaque assay is performed, as described by Summers and Smith, supra. An agarose gel with “Blue Gal” (Life Technologies Inc., Gaithersburg) is used to allow easy identification and isolation of gal-expressing clones, which produce blue-stained plaques. (A detailed description of a “plaque assay” of this type can also be found in the user's guide for insect cell culture and baculovirology distributed by Life Technologies Inc., Gaithersburg, page 9–10.) After appropriate incubation, blue stained plaques are picked with the tip of a micropipettor (e.g., Eppendorf). The agar containing the recombinant viruses is then resuspended in a microcentrifuge tube containing 200 ul of Grace's medium and the suspension containing the recombinant baculovirus is used to infect Sf9 cells seeded in 35 mm dishes. Four days later the supernatants of these culture dishes are harvested and then they are stored at 4 degree C.
To verify the expression of the polypeptide, Sf9 cells are grown in Grace's medium supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated FBS. The cells are infected with the recombinant baculovirus containing the polynucleotide at a multiplicity of infection (“MOI”) of about 2. If radiolabeled proteins are desired, 6 hours later the medium is removed and is replaced with SF900 II medium minus methionine and cysteine (available from Life Technologies Inc., Rockville, Md.). After 42 hours, 5 uCi of 35S-methionine and 5 uCi 35S-cysteine (available from Amersham) are added. The cells are further incubated for 16 hours and then are harvested by centrifugation. The proteins are analyzed by SDS-PAGE followed by autoradiography (if radiolabeled).
Microsequencing of the amino acid sequence of the amino terminus of purified protein may be used to determine the amino terminal sequence of the produced full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polypeptide.
Example 6
Expression of Full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP in Mammalian Cells
Full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polypeptide can be expressed in a mammalian cell. A typical mammalian expression vector contains a promoter element, which mediates the initiation of transcription of mRNA, a protein coding sequence, and signals required for the termination of transcription and polyadenylation of the transcript. Additional elements include enhancers, Kozak sequences and intervening sequences flanked by donor and acceptor sites for RNA splicing. Highly efficient transcription is achieved with the early and late promoters from SV40, the long terminal repeats (LTRs) from Retroviruses, e.g., RSV, HTLVI, HWI and the early promoter of the cytomegalovirus (CMV). However, cellular elements can also be used (e.g., the human actin promoter).
Suitable expression vectors for use in practicing the present invention include, for example, vectors such as pSVL and pMSG (Pharmacia, Uppsala, Sweden), pRSVcat (ATCC 37152), pSV2DHFR (ATCC 37146), pBC12MI (ATCC 67109), pCMVSport 2.0, and pCMVSport 3.0. Mammalian host cells that could be used include, human Hela, 293, H9 and Jurkat cells, mouse NIH3T3 and C127 cells, Cos 1, Cos 7 and CV1, quail QC1-3 cells, mouse L cells and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells.
Alternatively, full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polypeptide can be expressed in stable cell lines containing the full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polynucleotide integrated into a chromosome. The co-transfection with a selectable marker such as DHFR, gpt, neomycin, hygromycin allows the identification and isolation of the transfected cells.
The transfected full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP gene can also be amplified to express large amounts of the encoded protein. The DHFR (dihydrofolate reductase) marker is useful in developing cell lines that carry several hundred or even several thousand copies of the gene of interest. (See, e.g., Alt, F. W., et al., J. Biol. Chem. 253:1357–1370 (1978); Hamlin, J. L. and Ma, C., Biochem. et Biophys. Acta, 1097:107–143 (1990); Page, M. J. and Sydenham, M. A., Biotechnology 9:64–68 (1991).) Another useful selection marker is the enzyme glutamine synthase (GS) (Murphy et al., Biochem J. 227:277–279 (1991); Bebbington et al., Bio/Technology 10:169–175 (1992). Using these markers, the mammalian cells are grown in selective medium and the cells with the highest resistance are selected. These cell lines contain the amplified gene(s) integrated into a chromosome. Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) and NSO cells are often used for the production of proteins.
Derivatives of the plasmid pSV2-DHFR (ATCC Accession No. 37146), the expression vectors pC4 (ATCC Accession No. 209646) and pC6 (ATCC Accession No.209647) contain the strong promoter (LTR) of the Rous Sarcoma Virus (Cullen et al., Molecular and Cellular Biology, 438–447 (March, 1985)) plus a fragment of the CMV-enhancer (Boshart et al., Cell 41:521–530 (1985).) Multiple cloning sites, e.g., with the restriction enzyme cleavage sites BamHI, XbaI and Asp718, facilitate the cloning of WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP. The vectors also contain the 3′ intron, the polyadenylation and termination signal of the rat preproinsulin gene, and the mouse DHFR gene under control of the SV40 early promoter.
Specifically, the plasmid pC4 is digested with BamHI and XbaI and then dephosphorylated using calf intestinal phosphates by procedures known in the art. The vector is then isolated from a 1% agarose gel.
The cDNA sequence encoding the full-length WF-HABP protein in the deposited clone is amplified using PCR oligonucleotide primers corresponding to the 5′ and 3′ sequences of the gene. The 5′ primer has the sequence 5′ GCAGCAGGATCCGCCATCATGATGGACCAGGGCTGCCGGGAAATCCTTAC 3′ (SEQ ID NO:29) containing the BamHI restriction enzyme site, an efficient signal for initiation of translation in eukaryotic cells (Kozak, M., J. Mol. Biol. 196:947–950 (1987)), followed by a number of nucleotides of the sequence of the complete full-length WF-HABP protein shown in FIGS. 1A–P (SEQ ID NO:1), beginning with the AUG initiation codon. The 3′ primer has the sequence 5′ GCAGCATCTAGATCACTTGACTGTGAGGATCCTCTGGGTGTCAG 3′ (SEQ ID NO: 30) containing the XbaI restriction site followed by a number of nucleotides complementary to the 3′ noncoding sequence in FIGS. 1A–P (SEQ ID NO:1).
The cDNA sequence encoding the WF-HABP protein in the deposited clone is amplified using PCR oligonucleotide primers corresponding to the 5′ and 3′ sequences of the gene. The 5′ primer has the sequence 5′ GCAGCAAGATCTGCCATCATGATGGTCACTTGTACCTGCCTGCCCGACTACGA G 3′ (SEQ ID NO:31) containing the BamHI restriction enzyme site, an efficient signal for initiation of translation in eukaryotic cells (Kozak, M., J. Mol. Biol. 196:947–950 (1987)), followed by a number of nucleotides of the sequence of the complete WF-HABP protein shown in FIGS. 2A–D (SEQ ID NO:4), beginning with the AUG initiation codon. The 3′ primer has the sequence 5′ GCAGCATCTAGATCACTTGACTGTGAGGATCCTCTGGGTGTCAGG 3′ (SEQ ID NO: 32) containing the XbaI restriction site followed by a number of nucleotides complementary to the 3′ noncoding sequence in FIGS. 2A–D (SEQ ID NO:4).
The cDNA sequence encoding the OE-HABP protein in the deposited clone is amplified using PCR oligonucleotide primers corresponding to the 5′ and 3′ sequences of the gene. The 5′ primer has the sequence 5′ GCAGCAAGATCTGCCATCATGGGCCTGTTGCTCCTGGTCCCATTGCTCCTGCT G 3′ (SEQ ID NO:33) containing the BamHI restriction enzyme site, an efficient signal for initiation of translation in eukaryotic cells (Kozak, M., J. Mol. Biol. 196:947–950 (1987)), followed by a number of nucleotides of the sequence of the complete OE-HABP protein shown in FIGS. 3A–C (SEQ ID NO:7), beginning with the AUG initiation codon. The 3′ primer has the sequence 5′ GCAGCATCTAGAATTTTTCTTGGCAGGCTTCCCTTGCTTNTGTCAG 3′ (SEQ ID NO: 34) containing the XbaI restriction site followed by a number of nucleotides complementary to the 3′ noncoding sequence in FIGS. 3A–C (SEQ ID NO:7).
The cDNA sequence encoding the BM-HABP protein in the deposited clone is amplified using PCR oligonucleotide primers corresponding to the 5′ and 3′ sequences of the gene. The 5′ primer has the sequence 5′ GCAGCAAGATCTGCCATCATGACAGGCCCGGGCAAGCACAAGTGTGAGTG 3′ (SEQ ID NO: 35) containing the BamHI restriction enzyme site, an efficient signal for initiation of translation in eukaryotic cells (Kozak, M., J. Mol. Biol. 196:947–950 (1987)), followed by a number of nucleotides of the sequence of the complete OE-HABP protein shown in FIGS. 4A–C (SEQ ID NO:10), beginning with the AUG initiation codon. The 3′ primer has the sequence 5′ GCAGCATCTAGATCAAAATGNTGGAAGCCGATTGTTTTCCGGTTTATCC 3′ (SEQ ID NO: 36) containing the XbaI restriction site followed by a number of nucleotides complementary to the 3′ noncoding sequence in FIGS. 4A–C (SEQ ID NO:10).
If a naturally occurring signal sequence is used to produce a secreted protein, the vector does not need a second signal peptide. Alternatively, if a naturally occurring signal sequence is not used, the vector can be modified to include a heterologous signal sequence in an effort to secrete the protein from the cell. (See, e.g., WO 96/34891.)
The amplified fragment is then digested with the BglII and XbaI and purified on a 1% agarose gel using a commercially available kit (“Geneclean,” BIO 101 Inc., La Jolla, Calif.). The isolated fragment and the dephosphorylated vector are then ligated with T4 DNA ligase. E. coli HB101 or XL-1 Blue cells are then transformed and bacteria are identified that contain the fragment inserted into plasmid pC4 using, for instance, restriction enzyme analysis.
Chinese hamster ovary cells lacking an active DHFR gene is used for transfection. Five μg of the expression plasmid pC4 is cotransfected with 0.5 ug of the plasmid pSVneo using lipofectin (Felgner et al., supra). The plasmid pSV2-neo contains a dominant selectable marker, the neo gene from Tn5 encoding an enzyme that confers resistance to a group of antibiotics including G418. The cells are seeded in alpha minus MEM supplemented with 1 mg/ml G418. After 2 days, the cells are trypsinized and seeded in hybridoma cloning plates (Greiner, Germany) in alpha minus MEM supplemented with 10, 25, or 50 ng/ml of metothrexate plus 1 mg/ml G418. After about 10–14 days single clones are trypsinized and then seeded in 6-well petri dishes or 10 ml flasks using different concentrations of methotrexate (50 nM, 100 nM, 200 nM, 400 nM, 800 nM). Clones growing at the highest concentrations of methotrexate are then transferred to new 6-well plates containing even higher concentrations of methotrexate (1 uM, 2 uM, 5 uM, 10 mM, 20 mM). The same procedure is repeated until clones are obtained which grow at a concentration of 100–200 uM. Expression of full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP is analyzed, for instance, by SDS-PAGE and Western blot or by reversed phase HPLC analysis.
Example 7
Construction of N-Terminal and/or C-Terminal Deletion Mutants
The following general approach may be used to clone a N-terminal or C-terminal deletion full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP deletion mutant. Generally, two oligonucleotide primers of about 15–25 nucleotides are derived from the desired 5′ and 3′ positions of a polynucleotide of SEQ ID NO:1, 4, 7, or 10. The 5′ and 3′ positions of the primers are determined based on the desired full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polynucleotide fragment. An initiation and stop codon are added to the 5′ and 3′ primers respectively, if necessary, to express the full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polypeptide fragment encoded by the polynucleotide fragment. Preferred full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polynucleotide fragments are those encoding the N-terminal and C-terminal deletion mutants disclosed above in the “Polynucleotide and Polypeptide Fragments” section of the Specification.
Additional nucleotides containing restriction sites to facilitate cloning of the full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polynucleotide fragment in a desired vector may also be added to the 5′ and 3′ primer sequences. The full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polynucleotide fragment is amplified from genomic DNA or from the deposited cDNA clone using the appropriate PCR oligonucleotide primers and conditions discussed herein or known in the art. The full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polypeptide fragments encoded by the full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polynucleotide fragments of the present invention may be expressed and purified in the same general manner as the full length polypeptides, although routine modifications may be necessary due to the differences in chemical and physical properties between a particular fragment and full length polypeptide.
As a means of exemplifying but not limiting the present invention, the polynucleotide encoding the full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polypeptide fragment L-39 to N-889 is amplified and cloned as follows: A 5′ primer is generated comprising a restriction enzyme site followed by an initiation codon in frame with the polynucleotide sequence encoding the N-terminal portion of the polypeptide fragment beginning with L-39. A complementary 3′ primer is generated comprising a restriction enzyme site followed by a stop codon in frame with the polynucleotide sequence encoding C-terminal portion of the full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polypeptide fragment ending with N-889.
The amplified polynucleotide fragment and the expression vector are digested with restriction enzymes which recognize the sites in the primers. The digested polynucleotides are then ligated together. The full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polynucleotide fragment is inserted into the restricted expression vector, preferably in a manner which places the full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polypeptide fragment coding region downstream from the promoter. The ligation mixture is transformed into competent E. coli cells using standard procedures and as described in the Examples herein. Plasmid DNA is isolated from resistant colonies and the identity of the cloned DNA confirmed by restriction analysis, PCR and DNA sequencing.
Example 8
Protein Fusions of WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP
Full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polypeptides are preferably fused to other proteins. These fusion proteins can be used for a variety of applications. For example, fusion of full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polypeptides to His-tag, HA-tag, protein A, IgG domains, and maltose binding protein facilitates purification. (See Example 5; see also EP A 394,827; Traunecker, et al., Nature 331:84–86 (1988).) Similarly, fusion to IgG-1, IgG-3, and albumin increases the halflife time in vivo. Nuclear localization signals fused to full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polypeptides can target the protein to a specific subcellular localization, while covalent heterodimer or homodimers can increase or decrease the activity of a fusion protein. Fusion proteins can also create chimeric molecules having more than one function. Finally, fusion proteins can increase solubility and/or stability of the fused protein compared to the non-fused protein. All of the types of fusion proteins described above can be made by modifying the following protocol, which outlines the fusion of a polypeptide to an IgG molecule.
Briefly, the human Fc portion of the IgG molecule can be PCR amplified, using primers that span the 5′ and 3′ ends of the sequence described below. These primers also should have convenient restriction enzyme sites that will facilitate cloning into an expression vector, preferably a mammalian expression vector.
For example, if pC4 (Accession No. 209646) is used, the human Fc portion can be ligated into the BamHI cloning site. Note that the 3′ BamHI site should be destroyed. Next, the vector containing the human Fc portion is re-restricted with BamHI, linearizing the vector, and full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polynucleotide, isolated by the PCR protocol described in Example 1, is ligated into this BamHI site. Note that the polynucleotide is cloned without a stop codon, otherwise a fusion protein will not be produced.
If the naturally occurring signal sequence is used to produce the secreted protein, pC4 does not need a second signal peptide. Alternatively, if the naturally occurring signal sequence is not used, the vector can be modified to include a heterologous signal sequence. (See, e.g., WO 96/34891.)

Production of an Antibody
The antibodies of the present invention can be prepared by a variety of methods. (See, Current Protocols, Chapter 2.) For example, cells expressing full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP is administered to an animal to induce the production of sera containing polyclonal antibodies. In a preferred method, a preparation of full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP protein is prepared and purified to render it substantially free of natural contaminants. Such a preparation is then introduced into an animal in order to produce polyclonal antisera of greater specific activity.
In the most preferred method, the antibodies of the present invention are monoclonal antibodies (or protein binding fragments thereof). Such monoclonal antibodies can be prepared using hybridoma technology. (Köhler et al., Nature 256:495 (1975); Köhler et al., Eur. J. Immunol. 6:511 (1976); Köhler et al., Eur. J. Immunol. 6:292 (1976); Hammerling et al., in: Monoclonal Antibodies and T-Cell Hybridomas, Elsevier, N.Y., pp. 563–681 (1981).) In general, such procedures involve immunizing an animal (preferably a mouse) with full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polypeptide or, more preferably, with a secreted full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polypeptide-expressing cell. Such cells may be cultured in any suitable tissue culture medium; however, it is preferable to culture cells in Earle's modified Eagle's medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (inactivated at about 56 degree C.), and supplemented with about 10 g/l of nonessential amino acids, about 1,000 U/ml of penicillin, and about 100 ug/ml of streptomycin.
The splenocytes of such mice are extracted and fused with a suitable myeloma cell line. Any suitable myeloma cell line may be employed in accordance with the present invention; however, it is preferable to employ the parent myeloma cell line (SP20), available from the ATCC. After fusion, the resulting hybridoma cells are selectively maintained in HAT medium, and then cloned by limiting dilution as described by Wands et al. (Gastroenterology 80:225–232 (1981).) The hybridoma cells obtained through such a selection are then assayed to identify clones which secrete antibodies capable of binding the full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polypeptide.
Alternatively, additional antibodies capable of binding to full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polypeptide can be produced in a two-step procedure using anti-idiotypic antibodies. Such a method makes use of the fact that antibodies are themselves antigens, and therefore, it is possible to obtain an antibody which binds to a second antibody. In accordance with this method, protein specific antibodies are used to immunize an animal, preferably a mouse. The splenocytes of such an animal are then used to produce hybridoma cells, and the hybridoma cells are screened to identify clones which produce an antibody whose ability to bind to the full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP specific antibody can be blocked by full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP. Such antibodies comprise anti-idiotypic antibodies to the full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP specific antibody and can be used to immunize an animal to induce formation of further full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP specific antibodies.
It will be appreciated that Fab and F(ab′)2 and other fragments of the antibodies of the present invention may be used according to the methods disclosed herein. Such fragments are typically produced by proteolytic cleavage, using enzymes such as papain (to produce Fab fragments) or pepsin (to produce F(ab′)2 fragments). Alternatively, secreted full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP protein-binding fragments can be produced through the application of recombinant DNA technology or through synthetic chemistry.
For in vivo use of antibodies in humans, it may be preferable to use “humanized” chimeric monoclonal antibodies. Such antibodies can be produced using genetic constructs derived from hybridoma cells producing the monoclonal antibodies described above. Methods for producing chimeric antibodies are known in the art. (See, for review, Morrison, Science 229:1202 (1985); Oi et al., BioTechniques 4:214 (1986); Cabilly et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567; Taniguchi et al., EP 171496; Morrison et al., EP 173494; Neuberger et al., WO 8601533; Robinson et al., WO 8702671; Boulianne et al., Nature 312:643 (1984); Neuberger et al., Nature 314:268 (1985).)

Method of Detecting Abnormal Levels of Full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP in a Biological Sample
Full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polypeptides can be detected in a biological sample, and if an increased or decreased level of full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP is detected, this polypeptide is a marker for a particular phenotype. Methods of detection are numerous, and thus, it is understood that one skilled in the art can modify the following assay to fit their particular needs.
For example, antibody-sandwich ELISAs are used to detect full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP in a sample, preferably a biological sample. Wells of a microtiter plate are coated with specific antibodies to full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP at a final concentration of 0.2 to 10 ug/ml. The antibodies are either monoclonal or polyclonal and are produced by the method described in Example 11. The wells are blocked so that non-specific binding of full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP to the well is reduced.
The coated wells are then incubated for >2 hours at RT with a sample containing full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP. Preferably, serial dilutions of the sample should be used to validate results. The plates are then washed three times with deionized or distilled water to remove unbounded full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP.
Next, 50 ul of specific antibody-alkaline phosphatase conjugate, at a concentration of 25–400 ng, is added and incubated for 2 hours at room temperature. The plates are again washed three times with deionized or distilled water to remove unbounded conjugate.
Add 75 ul of 4-methylumbelliferyl phosphate (MUP) or p-nitrophenyl phosphate (NPP) substrate solution to each well and incubate 1 hour at room temperature. Measure the reaction by a microtiter plate reader. Prepare a standard curve, using serial dilutions of a control sample, and plot full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polypeptide concentration on the X-axis (log scale) and fluorescence or absorbance of the Y-axis (linear scale). Interpolate the concentration of the full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP in the sample using the standard curve.
Example 11
Formulating a Polypeptide
The full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP composition will be formulated and dosed in a fashion consistent with good medical practice, taking into account the clinical condition of the individual patient (especially the side effects of treatment with the full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polypeptide alone), the site of delivery, the method of administration, the scheduling of administration, and other factors known to practitioners. The “effective amount” for purposes herein is thus determined by such considerations.
As a general proposition, the total pharmaceutically effective amount of full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP administered parenterally per dose will be in the range of about 1 ug/kg/day to 10 mg/kg/day of patient body weight, although, as noted above, this will be subject to therapeutic discretion. More preferably, this dose is at least 0.01 mg/kg/day, and most preferably for humans between about 0.01 and 1 mg/kg/day for the hormone. If given continuously, full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP is typically administered at a dose rate of about 1 ug/kg/hour to about 50 ug/kg/hour, either by 1–4 injections per day or by continuous subcutaneous infusions, for example, using a mini-pump. An intravenous bag solution may also be employed. The length of treatment needed to observe changes and the interval following treatment for responses to occur appears to vary depending on the desired effect.
Pharmaceutical compositions containing full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP are administered orally, rectally, parenterally, intracistemally, intravaginally, intraperitoneally, topically (as by powders, ointments, gels, drops or transdermal patch), bucally, or as an oral or nasal spray. “Pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” refers to a non-toxic solid, semisolid or liquid filler, diluent, encapsulating material or formulation auxiliary of any type. The term “parenteral” as used herein refers to modes of administration which include intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intrasternal, subcutaneous and intraarticular injection and infusion.
Full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP is also suitably administered by sustained-release systems. Suitable examples of sustained-release compositions include semi-permeable polymer matrices in the form of shaped articles, e.g., films, or mirocapsules. Sustained-release matrices include polylactides (U.S. Pat. No. 3,773,919, EP 58,481), copolymers of L-glutamic acid and gamma-ethyl-L-glutamate (Sidman, U. et al., Biopolymers 22:547–556 (1983)), poly (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (R. Langer et al., J. Biomed. Mater. Res. 15:167–277 (1981), and R. Langer, Chem. Tech. 12:98–105 (1982)), ethylene vinyl acetate (R. Langer et al.) or poly-D-(−)-3-hydroxybutyric acid (EP 133,988). Sustained-release compositions also include liposomally entrapped full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polypeptides. Liposomes containing the full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP are prepared by methods known per se: DE 3,218,121; Epstein et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 82:3688–3692 (1985); Hwang et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 77:4030–4034 (1980); EP 52,322; EP 36,676; EP 88,046; EP 143,949; EP 142,641; Japanese Pat. Appl. 83-118008; U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,485,045 and 4,544,545; and EP 102,324. Ordinarily, the liposomes are of the small (about 200–800 Angstroms) unilamellar type in which the lipid content is greater than about 30 mol. percent cholesterol, the selected proportion being adjusted for the optimal secreted polypeptide therapy.
For parenteral administration, in one embodiment, full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP is formulated generally by mixing it at the desired degree of purity, in a unit dosage injectable form (solution, suspension, or emulsion), with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, i.e., one that is non-toxic to recipients at the dosages and concentrations employed and is compatible with other ingredients of the formulation. For example, the formulation preferably does not include oxidizing agents and other compounds that are known to be deleterious to polypeptides.
Generally, the formulations are prepared by contacting full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP uniformly and intimately with liquid carriers or finely divided solid carriers or both. Then, if necessary, the product is shaped into the desired formulation. Preferably the carrier is a parenteral carrier, more preferably a solution that is isotonic with the blood of the recipient. Examples of such carrier vehicles include water, saline, Ringer's solution, and dextrose solution. Non-aqueous vehicles such as fixed oils and ethyl oleate are also useful herein, as well as liposomes.
The carrier suitably contains minor amounts of additives such as substances that enhance isotonicity and chemical stability. Such materials are non-toxic to recipients at the dosages and concentrations employed, and include buffers such as phosphate, citrate, succinate, acetic acid, and other organic acids or their salts; antioxidants such as ascorbic acid; low molecular weight (less than about ten residues) polypeptides, e.g., polyarginine or tripeptides; proteins, such as serum albumin, gelatin, or immunoglobulins; hydrophilic polymers such as polyvinylpyrrolidone; amino acids, such as glycine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, or arginine; monosaccharides, disaccharides, and other carbohydrates including cellulose or its derivatives, glucose, manose, or dextrins; chelating agents such as EDTA; sugar alcohols such as mannitol or sorbitol; counterions such as sodium; and/or nonionic surfactants such as polysorbates, poloxamers, or PEG.
Full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP is typically formulated in such vehicles at a concentration of about 0.1 mg/ml to 100 mg/ml, preferably 1–10 mg/ml, at a pH of about 3 to 8. It will be understood that the use of certain of the foregoing excipients, carriers, or stabilizers will result in the formation of polypeptide salts.
Full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP used for therapeutic administration can be sterile. Sterility is readily accomplished by filtration through sterile filtration membranes (e.g., 0.2 micron membranes). Therapeutic polypeptide compositions generally are placed into a container having a sterile access port, for example, an intravenous solution bag or vial having a stopper pierceable by a hypodermic injection needle.
Full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polypeptides ordinarily will be stored in unit or multi-dose containers, for example, sealed ampoules or vials, as an aqueous solution or as a lyophilized formulation for reconstitution. As an example of a lyophilized formulation, 10-ml vials are filled with 5 ml of sterile-filtered 1% (w/v) aqueous full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polypeptide solution, and the resulting mixture is lyophilized. The infusion solution is prepared by reconstituting the lyophilized full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polypeptide using bacteriostatic Water-for-Injection.
The invention also provides a pharmaceutical pack or kit comprising one or more containers filled with one or more of the ingredients of the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention. Associated with such container(s) can be a notice in the form prescribed by a governmental agency regulating the manufacture, use or sale of pharmaceuticals or biological products, which notice reflects approval by the agency of manufacture, use or sale for human administration. In addition, full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP may be employed in conjunction with other therapeutic compounds.

Method of Treatment Using Gene Therapy—In Vivo
Another aspect of the present invention is using in vivo gene therapy methods to treat disorders, diseases and conditions. The gene therapy method relates to the introduction of naked nucleic acid (DNA, RNA, and antisense DNA or RNA) full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP sequences into an animal to increase or decrease the expression of the full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polypeptide. The full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polynucleotide may be operatively linked to a promoter or any other genetic elements necessary for the expression of the full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polypeptide by the target tissue. Such gene therapy and delivery techniques and methods are known in the art, see, for example, WO90/11092, WO98/11779; U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,693,622, 5,705,151, 5,580,859; Tabata H. et al. (1997) Cardiovasc. Res. 35(3):470–479, Chao J et al. (1997) Pharmacol. Res. 35(6):517–522, Wolff J. A. (1997) Neuromuscul. Disord. 7(5):314–318, Schwartz B. et al. (1996) Gene Ther. 3(5):405–411, Tsurumi Y. et al. (1996) Circulation 94(12):3281–3290 (incorporated herein by reference).
The full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polynucleotide constructs may be delivered by any method that delivers injectable materials to the cells of an animal, such as, injection into the interstitial space of tissues (heart, muscle, skin, lung, liver, intestine and the like). The full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polynucleotide constructs can be delivered in a pharmaceutically acceptable liquid or aqueous carrier.
The term “naked” polynucleotide, DNA or RNA, refers to sequences that are free from any delivery vehicle that acts to assist, promote, or facilitate entry into the cell, including viral sequences, viral particles, liposome formulations, lipofectin or precipitating agents and the like. However, the full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polynucleotides may also be delivered in liposome formulations (such as those taught in Felgner P. L. et al. (1995) Ann. NY Acad. Sci. 772:126–139 and Abdallah B. et al. (1995) Biol. Cell 85(1):1–7) which can be prepared by methods well known to those skilled in the art.
The full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polynucleotide vector constructs used in the gene therapy method are preferably constructs that will not integrate into the host genome nor will they contain sequences that allow for replication. Any strong promoter known to those skilled in the art can be used for driving the expression of DNA. Unlike other gene therapies techniques, one major advantage of introducing naked nucleic acid sequences into target cells is the transitory nature of the polynucleotide synthesis in the cells. Studies have shown that non-replicating DNA sequences can be introduced into cells to provide production of the desired polypeptide for periods of up to six months.
The full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polynucleotide construct can be delivered to the interstitial space of tissues within the an animal, including of muscle, skin, brain, lung, liver, spleen, bone marrow, thymus, heart, lymph, blood, bone, cartilage, pancreas, kidney, gall bladder, stomach, intestine, testis, ovary, uterus, rectum, nervous system, eye, gland, and connective tissue. Interstitial space of the tissues comprises the intercellular fluid, mucopolysaccharide matrix among the reticular fibers of organ tissues, elastic fibers in the walls of vessels or chambers, collagen fibers of fibrous tissues, or that same matrix within connective tissue ensheathing muscle cells or in the lacunae of bone. It is similarly the space occupied by the plasma of the circulation and the lymph fluid of the lymphatic channels. Delivery to the interstitial space of muscle tissue is preferred for the reasons discussed below. They may be conveniently delivered by injection into the tissues comprising these cells. They are preferably delivered to and expressed in persistent, non-dividing cells which are differentiated, although delivery and expression may be achieved in non-differentiated or less completely differentiated cells, such as, for example, stem cells of blood or skin fibroblasts. In vivo muscle cells are particularly competent in their ability to take up and express polynucleotides.
For the naked full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polynucleotide injection, an effective dosage amount of DNA or RNA will be in the range of from about 0.05 g/kg body weight to about 50 mg/kg body weight. Preferably the dosage will be from about 0.005 mg/kg to about 20 mg/kg and more preferably from about 0.05 mg/kg to about 5 mg/kg. Of course, as the artisan of ordinary skill will appreciate, this dosage will vary according to the tissue site of injection. The appropriate and effective dosage of nucleic acid sequence can readily be determined by those of ordinary skill in the art and may depend on the condition being treated and the route of administration. The preferred route of administration is by the parenteral route of injection into the interstitial space of tissues. However, other parenteral routes may also be used, such as, inhalation of an aerosol formulation particularly for delivery to lungs or bronchial tissues, throat or mucous membranes of the nose. In addition, naked full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polynucleotide constructs can be delivered to arteries during angioplasty by the catheter used in the procedure.
The dose response effects of injected full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polynucleotide in muscle in vivo is determined as follows. Suitable full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP template DNA for production of mRNA coding for full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP polypeptide is prepared in accordance with a standard recombinant DNA methodology. The template DNA, which may be either circular or linear, is either used as naked DNA or complexed with liposomes. The quadriceps muscles of mice are then injected with various amounts of the template DNA.
Five to six week old female and male Balb/C mice are anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection with 0.3 ml of 2.5% Avertin. A 1.5 cm incision is made on the anterior thigh, and the quadriceps muscle is directly visualized. The full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP template DNA is injected in 0.1 ml of carrier in a 1 cc syringe through a 27 gauge needle over one minute, approximately 0.5 cm from the distal insertion site of the muscle into the knee and about 0.2 cm deep. A suture is placed over the injection site for future localization, and the skin is closed with stainless steel clips.
After an appropriate incubation time (e.g., 7 days) muscle extracts are prepared by excising the entire quadriceps. Every fifth 15 um cross-section of the individual quadriceps muscles is histochemically stained for full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP protein expression. A time course for full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP protein expression may be done in a similar fashion except that quadriceps from different mice are harvested at different times. Persistence of full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP DNA in muscle following injection may be determined by Southern blot analysis after preparing total cellular DNA and HIRT supernatants from injected and control mice. The results of the above experimentation in mice can be use to extrapolate proper dosages and other treatment parameters in humans and other animals using full-length WF-HABP, WF-HABP, OE-HABP, or BM-HABP naked DNA.
Example 13
WF-HABP, OE-HABP, and BM-HABP Expression in Human Tissues and Cells
As a first step toward characterizing the expression pattern of the gene encoding the novel WF-HABP protein, the WF-HABP mRNA expression levels in various human tissues and cells was examined by Northern blotting analysis. WF-HABP mRNA was detectable in all the human tissues examined with very low levels detected in the brain and kidney. The highest level of expression was observed in the heart, placenta and lung, with lower levels found in the liver, pancreas, and skeletal muscle. Four major transcripts of 9.5, 4.5, 3.0 and 2.4 Kb were detected. The 9.5 Kb band appeared to be the predominant mRNA and was especially prominent in the placenta and the heart. OE-HABP mRNA was detected in lung, placenta, and heart, with highest expression observed in the lung as a 2.2 Kb transcript. BM-IABP mRNA was apparent only in the liver and appeared as a smear between 5 and 2 Kb. The expression of BM-HABP was also analyzed in human fetal brain, lung, liver and kidney and found that a distinct 9.5 Kb mRNA was expressed at an elevated level in fetal liver with a low level of signal also observed the lung.
The expression pattern of WF-HABP, OE-HABP, and BM-HABP was also examined in human smooth muscle cells (SMCs), human fetal lung fibroblasts (ETL), human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), as well as in HL-60 and U937 cells. WF-HABP mRNA expression was not detected in either uninduced or TPA-stimulated HL-60 cells. A minor 2.4 Kb band was detected in all of the other cell types examined. Induction of U937 cells with TPA resulted in a slight decrease of the signal. However, it is noteworthy that WF-HABP mRNAs of 9.5, 4.5 and 3.0 Kb were expressed exclusively by HUVECs.
The 2.2 Kb OE-HABP transcript identified supra was expressed by both HUVECs and SMCs, but not by ETLs, HL60 or U937 cells. Interestingly, U937 cells responded to stimulation with TPA by expressing a major new 4.3 Kb transcript and minor bands of 3.8, and 3 Kb. There was no detectable mRNA expression of BM-HABP in any of the above cell lines.
Given that endothelial cells express a unique set of WF-HABP mRNA transcripts the expression of this gene was analyzed in HUVECs in greater detail. We first examined whether short-term stimulation of endothelial cells with FGF-1, EL-1 and PNIA could alter mRNA expression of WF-HABP and found that HUVECs treated with these factors for up to four hours did not substantially alter the expression of this gene. However, growth-arrested HUECs were consistently observed to express a high level of WF-HABP mRNA that decreased dramatically when the cells were induced to proliferate with FGF-1.
Conditions for culturing and preparing cells for the above Northern blotting experiments are described infra. BL-60 (human peripheral blood promyelocytic leukemia, ATCC CCL 240) and U937 (human histocytic lymphoma, ATCC CRL 1593) were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (Rockville, Md.). Cells were grown in RPMI 1640, supplemented with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). HFLI (human diploid fetal lung fibroblasts, ATCC CCL 153) were obtained from American Type Culture Collection (Rockville, Md.), and SMC (human saphenous vein smooth muscle CelIS)7 were kindly provided by Dr. Peter Libby (Tufts University School of Medicine, Boston, Mass.). Cells were grown in DMEM and M-199 respectively, complemented with 10% FBS. HUVECs (human umbilical vein endothelial cells), strain H101, were a generous gift from Dr. Susan Garfinkel (Dept. of Molecular Biology, ARC, Rockville, NED). Cells were grown in M-199 containing 10% FBS, supplemented with FGFI/Heparin. BL-60 and U937 cells were grown under conditions as known by the skilled artisan for 2 days and then induced with 0.15 ug/ml of 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) for 72 hr to elicit a differentiation response. HUVECs were growth arrested for 48 hr in complete media with 10% serum without FGF-1/Heparin.
Conditions for Northern Blot hydridization are described infra. Total RNA were isolated from cultured cells by selective retention on a silica gel-based membrane with RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen Inc, Valencia, Calif.). Briefly, cells were lysed and homogenized under highly denaturing conditions in the presence of guanidinium isothiocyanate. Total RNA was separated from contaminating proteins and DNA by centrifugation and subsequently eluted from the column with water. Five micrograms of purified total RNA per lane were size-fractionated on a 1% agarose gel containing, 0.5M formaldehyde, transferred to Zetabind nylon membrane (AMF/Cuno, Inc., Meriden, Conn.) by electroblotting, and UV crosslinking. Immobilized RNA was hybridized at 55° C. overnight with 1 to 5×106 cpm/ml of a- 32P dCTP-labeled cDNA probes prepared by random primed DNA labeling (Boehringer Mannheim GmbH, Germany). Following hybridization, membranes were washed with increasing stringency at 55° C., 2×15 min in each of the following buffers. Wash Buffer A: 0.5% BSA, 5% SDS, 40 mM NaH2PO4, ImM EDTA; Wash Buffer B: 1% SDS, 40 mM NaH2PO4, ImM EDTA; 0.2×SSPE. Blots were air dried and exposed to Kodak X-Omat AR film (Eastman Kodak Company, Rochester, N.Y.) at −80° C. 800 bp human glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) cDNA was used as a control probe.
Blots, containing mRNA obtained from human heart, brain, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas, were aquired from Clontech (Palo Alto, Calif.). These blots were probed for the WF-HABP, OE-HABP, and BM-HABP message and also hybridized with GAPDH cDNA control probe.
Example 14
WF-HABP Expression In Vivo
Northern analysis revealed a high level of WF-HABP mRNA expression in vessel-rich human tissues including the heart and the placenta. Furthermore, in vitro analysis (Example 13, supra) revealed predominant expression of this message in cultured endothelial cells. Therefore, in situ hybridization was performed in the placenta to identify the cells that expressed WF-HABP mRNA. Hybridization signal was detected in cells lining fetal blood vessels and capillaries found inside terminal villi. Syncytial trophoblasts, composing the external layer of the terminal villi, were always negative. Using immunohistochemistry, this pattern was identical in sections stained for the endothelial specific antigen (CD31), suggesting that the major cell type in the placenta expressing WF-HABP are endothelial cells. We also examined the brain and found it expressed a very low level of WF-HABP mRNA when probed by Northern blotting. In situ hybridization generally confirmed a lack of WF-HABP positive cells in the brain with the exception of weak signals around small blood vessels and capillaries. CD31 staining revealed a similar, although more prominent, expression pattern.
The expression pattern of WF-HABP was examined in other vascular tissues including human aorta and atherectomy specimens. Positive RNA signal was apparently observed only in endothelial cells lining microvessels in the adventitia and in the medial layer of the aorta. No signal was detected in smooth muscle cells of the medial layer. Specificity was confirmed by the absence of the signal when hybridization was performed without probe or with a corresponding sense probe. We did observe non-specific staining of collagen fibers in the adventitia with both the sense and antisense probes, likely due to the binding of anti-digoxigenin antibody to collagen. To confirm that cells expressing WF-HABP mRNA were indeed endothelial cells, immunohistochemical analysis on adjacent sections of the same specimen was performed using an antibody that specifically recognizes CD31. The signal for CD31 antigen was found to be distributed in an analogous manner to that for WF-HABP.
The expression of WF-HABP mRNA in human atherosclerotic lesions was examined. A strong WF-HABP-specific signal was found in vessel-abundant regions of the specimens. Again, this signal co-localized with the distribution of EC-specific CD31 antigen. No signal was detected in SMC or in macrophage rich regions. However, sporadic appearance of positive stellate cells was observed in otherwise negative myxomatous tissue. In can be concluded from these studies that WF-HABP mRNA is expressed predominantly by endothelial cells in various tissues and its expression is especially prominent in diseased blood vessels.
The conditions for In situ hybridization are described infra. Non-radioactive In Situ hybridization was performed on paraffin-embedded human tissues and atherectomy specimens. WF-HABP m.RNA probes (sense and antisense) were labeled with digoxigenin-11-uridine-5′-triphosphate (Boehringer Mannheim GrnbH, Germany) via in vitro transcription (Dig RNA labeling kit, Boehringer Mannheim GmbH, Germany).
The tissues were cut into serial 5-um thick sections onto silanized double-positive glass slides (Fisher Scientific, Pittsburgh, Pa.). Tissue sections were deparaffinized for 60 min at 60° C., washed extensively in xylene and rehydrated in decreasing ethanol series. Endogenous peroxidase was quenched in PBS containing 3% H2O2 for 20 min. To facilitate probe penetration, tissue sections were deproteinized in 2 mg/ml pepsin solution in 0.2N HC1 (Nuovo). Sections were equilibrated, prehybridized and hybridized according to the SureSite II System Manual (Novagen, Inc., Madison, Wis.). Hybridization was carried out for 18 hrs in a humid chamber at 50° C.; probe concentration was 1 ng/ul.
After hybridization, sections were subjected to successively stringent washes as follows: 2×SSC 30 min at 50° C.; 2×SSC containing 0.02 ug/ml RNase A, 30 min at 37° C.; 2×SSC containing 50% formamide, 30 min at 50° C.; 2 washes with 1×SSC containing 0.067% sodium paraphosphate, 30 min each at 50° C.
Signal amplification was carried out according to Tyramide Signal Amplification for chromogenic Situ hybridization (TSA-Indirect) protocol (NEN Life Science Products, Boston, Mass.). TNT wash buffer contained 0.05% TWEEN-20 in PBS, and TNB blocking buffer was comprised of 0.5% blocking reagent in PBS. Anti-digoxigenin antibody (sheep Fab fragments conjugated with horseradish peroxidase (POD), Boehringer Mannheim GmbH, Germany) was diluted 1–50 in TNB. Signal was visualized with DAB (diaminobenzidine) substrate kit (Vector Laboratories, Inc., Burlingame, Calif.). Myer's Hematoxylin was used to counterstain the sections.
To confirm reliability of the method, protamine antisense probe was hybridized to sections of mouse testes as a positive control in each experiment. Also, sense WF-HABP probe, as well as hybridization without any probe, were used as negative controls in each experiment.
Conditions for immunohistochemistry are described infra. Paraffin-embedded serial Sum-thin sections of the human tissues analyzed by Northern blotting and several atherectomy specimens (described in Example 13) were used. Endogenous peroxidase activity was quenched in methanol with 0.3% H2O2. The sections were reacted for 1 hr at room temperature with a monoclonal mouse anti-human CD31 antibody specific for endothelial cells (DAKO, Denmark). Antibodies were diluted 1–50 in PBS containing 10% normal horse serum and 1% bovine serum albumin. Primary antibody was detected by the indirect avidin-biotin-horseradish peroxidase method (ABC elite kit, Vector Laboratories, Inc., Burlingame, Calif.). Normal mouse IgG (1:1000) were used as negative controls. Myer's Hematoxylin was used to counterstain the sections.
