Definitions

  • t-PA Human tissue-type plasminogen activator
  • PAI-1 The principal physiological regulator of t-PA appears to be a specific, fast-acting, plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1).
  • PAI-1 is a protein of Mr 50,000 which binds to t-PA in a 1:1 complex, and inactivates the serine protease (Van Mourik et al. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259:14914-14921; Colucci et a l. (1985) J. Clin. Invest. 75:818-824; Aimer and Ohlin (1987) Thromb. Research 47:335-339).
  • Ny et al. disclosed the expression of functional rPAI in E. coli. using a phage lambda gtll-derived vector.
  • rPAI was expressed as a beta-gal actosidase-PAI fusion protein of about 180 kDa, with the PAI coding sequence fused to the E. coli beta- galactosidase coding sequence.
  • a PAI-derived fragment of about 40 kDa was also detected by immunoblot and by reverse fibrin autography assay. This 40 kDa form of rPAI was not characterized by Ny et al., but likely arises by translation initiation at Met/aa #3, since an E.

  • Pannekoek et al. reported the expression of a functional 43 kDa form of rPAI in E. coli using a pUC8-derived vector, as assayed by reverse fibrin autography.
  • PAI-1 isolated from many mammalian cell types is obtained in a partially active latent form; the latent form can be converted to a fully active form, with about 6-fold increased specific activity relative to the latent form, by treatment with denaturants such as sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) (Hekman and Loskutoff (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260:11581).

  • the invention also relates to substantially pure
  • the invention relates further to a recombinant plasmid expression vector capable of expression in E. coli of soluble, biologically functional human PAI-1, wherein the DNA coding sequence for mature PAI-1 is operatively linked to a phage lambda P L promoter or to a tac promoter, preferably to a phage lambda, P L , promoter, which gives particularly high level expression.

  • the invention relates further to a pharmaceutical composition
  • a pharmaceutical composition comprising, in a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle, an amount of rPAI-1 of the invention, that is therapeutically effective to counteract excessive or inappropriate fibrinolysis.
  • a method of treating inappropriate or excessive fibrinolysis in a mammal suffering from such a condition comprising administering to the mammal an effective dose of E. coli-expressed rPAI of the invention.
  • the invention relates further to a recombinant human PAI-1 peptide having an ami no acid sequence corresponding to that of Table 1, with an N-terminal sequence of Met-Ser-Ile-Val-His or Ser-Ile-Val-His, where Val is amino acid #24 of the PAI-1 precursor protein, and to a recombinant human PAI-1 peptide having an amino acid sequence corresponding to that of Table 1, and having an N-terminal sequence of Met-Val-His or Val -His, where Val is amino acid #24 of the PAI-1 precursor protein.
  • FIG. 1 Scatchard analysis of binding data for the binding of 125 I-t-PA to PAI-1 in the assay of the invention, characterized in that PAI-1 is bound to a solid support using a PAI-1-specific monoclonal antibody.
  • PAI-1-containing wells, prepared as described in Example 5 were incubated with 100 fmoles of 125 I-t-PA and increasing concentration of unlabeled t-PA (ranging from 10 fmoles to 10 nmoles). The total t-PA bound in each well was determined, and was plotted versus the bound/free ratio. Each point represents the average value of triplicate samples.
  • the "tac" promoter-containing expression vector only produced rPAI at levels of about 1% of total cell protein.
  • E. coli- expressed nonfused mature form rPAI purified to homogeneity exhibits full biological activity.
  • the purified E. coli-expressed rPAI exhibited specific functional activity exceeding that of purified human fibrosarcoma cell PAI by 5 to 10-fold, depending on the assay employed.
  • E. coli-expressed purified rPAI did not require an activation step to convert the protein from a less active to a more active form.
  • rPAI obtained using our process exhibits functional activity exceeding that of human fibrosarcoma PAI by 5 to 10-fold.
  • Other recent reports (Lambers et al . (1988) Fibrinolysis 2, Supp.1:33) state that rPAI is obtained from E. coli almost exclusively in an inactive latent form.
  • rPAI obtained by the methods of the invention exhibits full functional activity that is not enhanced by and does not require any activation procedures.
  • a further aspect of the invention involves a process for detecting inhibitors of the interaction of PAI and t-PA.
  • This process employs rPAI which is immobilized to a solid support using a PAI-specific monoclonal antibody which is first attached to the solid support. The binding of radio! abeled t-PA to the immobilized PAI is quantitated by separating the bound and free t-PA.
  • Previous assays for the quantisation of PAI and t-PA binding which have used immobilized PAI did not utilize a PAI-specific monoclonal antibody to capture the PAI on the solid support and present it for binding to t-PA. We have found that the use of such a capture antibody markedly improves the sensitivity of the binding assay.

  • Production of PAI-1 involves growing the culture under conditions at which the repressor is active, preferably at temperature of 32°C.
  • the culture may then be induced to produce PAI-1 by changing to conditions which inactivate the repressor and allow expression from the P L promoter, e.g., raising the temperature to 42°C.
  • Other conditions can be used to inactivate the repressor, e.g., adding nalidixie acid or mitomycin C.
  • Typical large scale induction conditions require growth at 32°C in LB media supplemented with ampicillin (100 ⁇ g/mL) and glucose (3%) until mid-log growth phase and then the culture is induced by raising the temperature of the fermenter to 42°C (Sisk et al.
