The present invention described here provides part to subsidize by the appropriation that national sanitary office (NIH) is numbered 1RO1AI39159-01A1 and 1RO1CA70854-01.Federal government has specific right to this invention.

Invention field

The present invention relates to Lps ^dThe application of gene in treatment and prevention endotoxemia.

Background of invention

A)LPS

LPS is the macromole of a complexity, and from the cell wall of some antibacterial, wherein the part antibacterial can cause diseases such as enteric fever, dysentery, urinary tract infection, and other antibacterial is generally the bacterial parasite of animal and human's intestinal but is generally not pathogenic.All these antibacterials all have the cell wall of same type, and range gram negative bacteria according to their dyeing property.

The generation and the release of other medium of the LPS induction of immunity competent cell factor and animal inflammatory response.Cytokine is the very highly active a kind of material that has by various cells generations, these cells such as mononuclear phagocyte and lymphocyte, and they stimulate other cell and stimulate mutually.Endotheliocyte and granulocyte also are endotoxic primary target cells.Now special receptor molecule in the animal body inner cell and signal transduction path are carried out deep research, be well understood to the endotoxic mechanism of action.

B) hereditism of LPS responsiveness

By further investigation, it is found that endotoxic cell response is subjected to genetic control to mice.Nineteen sixty-eight to the discovery of C3H/HeJ mutant mice clear and definite first the host to the hereditism basis of the multiple reaction of LPS (Sultzer etc., nature, 219,1253-1254 (1968)).This Mus system is on the low side to the immunostimulation and the Pathophysiology effect responsiveness of lipid A component among the LPS, and therefore thinks, the responsiveness Mus system very near with sibship compares, and it has a kind of basic defective to the reaction of LPS.

The C3H/HeJ defective is special, and shows as multiple mode.For example, behind the B cells contacting LPS of C3H/HeJ, propagation or differentiation do not take place, their thymocyte cell is not strengthened by LPS by the inductive propagation of concanavalin A.(Sultzer etc., natural neontology (Nature New Biology) (London) 240,198-200 (1972); Sultzer, summary (Abst.Am.Soc.Microbio1.) 85 pages of AAM, M69 (1973); Tanabe etc., microbial immunology (Microbiol.Immuno.) 23,1097-1104 (1979); Morrison etc., immunology progress (Adv.Immunol.) 28,294-312 (1979); Sultzer, " endotoxic useful influence " 11 chapters, Plenum, NY (1983); Sultzer etc., immunobiology (Immunobiology) 187,257-271 (1993); Glode etc., L.M. and D.L.Resenstreich, Journal of Immunology (J.Immunol) 117,2061,2068 (1976); Sultzer, B.M. infect and immunity (Infection and Immunity) 13,1579-1584 (1976).The phagocytosis of macrophage and cytotoxicity are not to be stimulated by LPS, and in reacting cells the LPS institute stimulated cells factor, do not induced in the macrophage of C3H/HeJ as tumor necrosis factor (TNF), interferon (IFN), colony stimulating factor (CSF), interleukin 1 (IL-1) and prostaglandin.(Morrison etc., immunology progress 28,294-312 (1979)).In addition, compare with normal endotoxin responsiveness mice, C3H/HeJ has very strong resistance (Sultzer, nature 219,1253-1254 (1968)) to the lethal endotoxin shock.

It is not because of lacking accessory cell, existence inhibition cell or LPS combine not enough (Sultzer, " endotoxic useful influence " 11 chapters, Plenum, the NY (1983)) with other immunologically competent cell that the C3H/HeJ cell is not replied LPS.More properly, the explanation that is provided concentrates on: cell and LPS begin to do the time spent, and problem (Sultzer etc., immunobiology 187,257-271 (1993)) has appearred in the somewhere that lacks a key receptor or signal transduction path.

With C3H/HeJ Mus system and various reaction Mus is that the classics that carry out are fed the experimental result demonstration, to mitogenetic several codominant allele controls (Morrison etc., immunology progress, 28, the 294-312 (1979) that is subjected to single site that reply of LPS; Sultzer, " endotoxic useful influence " 11 chapters, Plenum, NY (1983); Sultzer etc., immunobiology 187,257-271 (1993); Glode etc., Journal of Immunology 117,2061-2068 (1976); Sultzer infects and immunity 13,1579-1584 (1976)).Watson thinks this gene loci (Lps ⁿ) be positioned at chromosome No. 4, link to each other with the proteic gene loci of main urinary system (Mup-1), at the Lyb2 of Mup-1 gene and control B cell activation: the downstream of 2: 4: 6 genes (Watson etc., Journal of Immunology 120,422-429 (1979)).C3H/HeJ mouse contains the Lps of sudden change ^dAllele.

C) separation and qualitative Lps ⁿGene

Sultzer etc. (immunobiology 187,257-271 (1993)) have described a cDNA library that comprises six word banks with the splenocyte preparation of C3H/OuJ mice (LPS is responded).Comprising 2 * 10 ⁴Individual difference clone's a word bank imports the splenocyte of C3H/HeJ mouses (LPS is not had reaction), and the plaque forming cells who reacts with sheep red blood cell (SRBC) behind the adding LPS in culture medium has increased by four times.

Kang etc. (infect and immunity 64,4612-4617 (1996)) further functional screening and fractionated to C3H/OuJ cDNA library have been described, and a cDNA clone's separation, this clone can recover the B cell response of C3H/HeJ spleen B cell by the LPS mediation.The cDNA sequence of 1166 nucleotidess of this section (SEQ ID NO:1) comprises the open reading frame of 648 nucleotidess, Q 216 the amino acid whose protein (SEQ ID NO:2) of encoding.

Sequence analysis shows, this LPS responsiveness gene (Lps ⁿGene) GTP enzyme Ran/TC4 (Raetz, C.R.H., endotoxin chemistry, biochemistry yearbook (Ann.Rev.Biochem.) 59,129-170 (1990) that the pair cell nuclear translocation is very important of coding; Watson etc., Journal of Immunology 114,1462-1468 (1975); Kabir etc. infect and immunity 15,156-164 (1977)).At amino acid levels, Lps ⁿIdentical with the Ran/TC4 GTP enzyme of finding in people and the Canis familiaris L., with the Ju93 of chicken with zymic Spil albumen 98.6% and 82.8% homology (Drivas etc., Mol Cell Biol molecule and cytobiology, 10,1793-1798 (1990) are arranged respectively; Dupree etc., Gene gene 120,325-326 (1992); Trueb etc., FEBS 306,181-184 (1992); Matsumoto etc., Cell cell 66,347-360 (1991)).The conclusion of Kang, Drivas above this conclusion has made up, Dupree, Trueb, Marsumoto.At dna level, Lps ⁿThe homology of gene is 89.7%, 90.7%, 85.4% and 68.7% in the Ju93 of the TC4/Ran of people's TC4/Ran, Canis familiaris L., chicken and zymic Spil successively.Therefore, Lps ⁿMolecule is high conservative on evolving, 5 of this molecule domains especially, and G1-G5 has found that they are relevant with the combination and the hydrolysis of guanine nucleotides.

In a word, Lps ⁿFunctioning gene product of gene code, this product appear in the B cell that produces polyclone activation antibody in the LPS responsiveness mice (as the C3H/HeOuJ mice), with Lps ⁿCDNA imports C3H/HeJ B cell to be enough to recover the responsiveness that cell stimulates for LPS, thereby makes the plaque forming cells's (PFC) who produces antibody level be increased to the level of responder.It is believed that this gene does not exist only in the B cell, and be present in other cell that LPS is had responsiveness and produce in the cell of cytokine and other factors (these factor amounts can produce toxic action to the host when big).

D) endotoxemia

LPS has multiple pathophysiology effect, and one of them is exactly owing to existing a large amount of endotoxins to cause endotoxemia or septic shock in the blood, fatality rate about 40%.Most of septic shock case is the result who occurs gram negative bacteria in the blood.But septic shock also may be caused by other biological such as gram-positive bacterium and fungus.Yet, the broad research of the septic shock cause of disease is confirmed that a key factor that causes septic shock is that LPS discharges from gram negative bacteria, endotoxin exerts an influence to various cells in the body subsequently, they is become highly activate.As a result, too much cellular material is arranged in the host, this causes circulatory failure, shock and death.

Sepsis is the common cause of the death of intensive care unit(ICU), remains a serious public health problem at present.When sepsis took place, main preceding inflammatory cytokine comprised that TNF-α, IL-1 and IL-6 all have and relates to.With anti-TNF antibodies or suppress clinical test results unsatisfactory (Dellinger etc., breast (Chest) 111, the 744-753 (1997) of TNF by the fusion rotein that the Fc of TNF ectodomain and IgG partly forms; Grau etc., natural medical science (Nature Medicine) 3,1193-1195 (1997)).

Although can be with potent antibiotics and the depletion of Drug therapy cardiopulmonary, but still medicine that the utmost point need be improved and/or prophylactic treatment scheme control endotoxemia, especially controls in early days at sepsis.
