Definitions

  • Mutant growth factor receptor as a drug and its use in the treatment of cancer
  • the present invention relates to mutant receptor tyrosine kinases with defective signal transmission activity which have therapeutic properties, medicaments containing at least one mutant receptor and the use of the mutant receptor or receptors for the treatment of diseases which are associated with an uncontrolled overfunction of receptor tyrosine kinases , especially cancer.
  • Cell growth is a carefully regulated process depending on the special needs of an organism.
  • the cell division rate outweighs the death rate of cells, which leads to an increase in the size of the organism.
  • the formation of new cells and cell death are balanced so that a "steady state" arises.
  • cell proliferation control breaks down and cells begin to grow and divide, although there is no particular need in the organism for a higher number of cells of this type.
  • This uncontrolled cell growth is the cause of cancer.
  • Factors which can cause the uncontrolled cell growth associated with the formation of metastases are often chemical in nature, but can also be physical in nature, such as, for example, radioactive radiation.
  • cancer cells can be completely removed from the diseased organism by a surgical intervention, or an attempt is made to destroy the degenerated cells in the organism to make, such as by administering medication or by physical therapy methods such as radiation.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a further active substance with valuable therapeutic properties, and a medicament containing the active substance, the active substance or the medicament being particularly advantageous in the treatment of cancer.
  • This object is achieved according to the invention by a mutated receptor tyrosine kinase with defective signal transmission activity, and by a medicament containing at least one mutant receptor tyrosine kinase.
  • Receptor tyrosine kinase means any receptor that has tyrosine kinase activity.
  • the expression includes growth factor receptors which have tyrosine kinase activity, as well as HER2 or the met receptors.
  • Deective signal transmission activity means that a mutated receptor is no longer able to convert an extra-cellular growth signal or another signal into an intracellular signal, so that this signal is partially inhibited or completely blocked.
  • Growth factor means any mitogenic chemical, usually a polypeptide, which is secreted by normal and / or transformed mammalian cells and which plays an essential role in the regulation of cell growth, in particular in stimulating the proliferation of cells and maintaining it their viability.
  • growth factor includes e.g. the epidermal growth factor (EGF), the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and the nerve growth factor (NGF).
  • “Growth factor receptor” is understood to mean a polypeptide spanning the cell membrane, which binds a growth or differentiation factor and itself contains or is associated with a tyroinkinase activity in its intracellular portion.
  • “Mutant receptor tyrosine kinase” is understood to mean a tyrosine kinase receptor which contains a structural change in comparison with the wild-type receptor, so that the receptor no longer has the tyrosine kinase activity of the wild-type receptor.
  • Understand factor receptor that contains a structural change compared to the wild-type receptor, so that the receptor no longer has the tyrosine kinase activity of the wild-type receptor.
  • Wild type growth factor receptor or other "wild type” receptor is understood to mean a naturally occurring growth factor receptor or other receptor which has tyrosine kinase activity and is therefore capable of signal transmission.
  • extracellular domain of the growth factor receptor or other receptor is understood to mean the part of the receptor that normally protrudes from the cell into the extracellular environment.
  • the extracellular domain includes, for example, the part of the receptor to which a growth factor or another molecule binds.
  • the "transmembrane region" of the growth factor receptor or other receptor is understood to mean the hydrophobic portion of the receptor which is normally located in the cell membrane of the cell which expresses the receptor.
  • Tyrosine kinase domain or “cytoplasmic domain” of the growth factor receptor or other receptor is understood to mean the part of the receptor which is normally located inside the cell and which brings about the transphosphorylation of tyrosine residues.
  • “An effective amount” means an amount of the composition according to the invention which can achieve the desired therapeutic effect.
  • Platinum-derived factor is understood to mean a mitogenic polypeptide which is contained in blood platelets and which stimulates cells derived from mesenchyme. and stimulates autophosphorylating protein tyrosine kinase activity when it binds to the wild type PDGF receptor.
  • EGF Extracellular growth factor
  • Disease based on hyperplasia is understood to mean a disease of a tissue or organ, comprising, for example, the skin epidermis, the intestinal epithelium, hepatocytes, fibroplastics, bone marrow cells, other bone cells, cartilage and smooth muscles, the disease being characterized by an increase in the number of cells of the tissue or organ, such as Psoriasis and endometric hyperplasia.
  • HER2 is understood to mean a receptor tyrosine kinase which shows sequence homology to the epidermal growth factor receptor.
  • Liposomes are understood to mean particles in an aqueous medium which are formed by lipid bilayers which enclose an aqueous environment.
  • “Hyperfunction” is understood to mean excess, uncontrolled activation of a signal transmission path mediated by growth factor receptors, which leads to excess cell division activity and other consequences, such as e.g. to those that occur in some cancer cells compared to normal cells of a similar cell type.
  • Recombinant vectors mean vectors which have been genetically modified using recombinant DNA technology in order to incorporate nucleic acid fragments which code for normal or mutated receptor tyrosine kinases.

  • receptor tyrosine kinases involved in the control of cell growth.
  • the actual signal for cell division is the growth factor which is formed depending on the needs of the organism.
  • the receptor assumes the function of signal transmission, ie it is involved in the conversion of the extracellular growth signal into cell division activity inside the cell.
  • These receptors are also referred to as receptor tyrosine kinases. An overview of receptor tyrosine kinases can be found in Yarden, Y. and Ullrich A., Rev. Biochem. 1988, 57, 443-78.
  • the dimerization of these growth factor receptors after Binding the growth factor is another important process in the signal transmission process.
  • the conversion of an extracellular signal into an intracellular signal by means of growth factor receptors with tyrosine kinase activity can be broken down into the following five stages:
  • EGF-R epidermal growth factor receptor
  • Mutated growth factor receptors with defective signal transmission activity are thus particularly suitable as medicaments with which diseases can be treated which are associated with an increased transmission of growth signals into the cell interior by corresponding receptors.
  • the tyrosine kinase activity of the wild-type receptor no longer has a preferred receptor mutant. This ligand is no longer able to phosphorylate tyrosine residues in the receptor dimer or in polypeptide substrates after ligand binding. The implementation of the extracellu- blocked growth signal into an intracellular signal or partially inhibited.
  • a point mutation in the wild-type receptor can suffice that the wild-type receptor is no longer functional if it has lost tyrosine kinase activity as a result of the point mutation.
  • a point mutant e.g. HERK721A is particularly preferred.
  • a mutated receptor that carries a deletion in the tyrosine kinase domain that leads to a loss of tyrosine kinase activity.
  • the receptor mutated by a deletion in the cytoplasmic domain still contains the transmembrane region (e.g. HERCD-533). Mutated receptors with an existing transmembrane region lead to a more effective inhibition of the growth signal transmission and thus show a better therapeutic effect than receptors without a transmembrane region, such as mutants which consist only of the extracellular domains (e.g. Fig. 1, HERCD-566).
  • Mutants of receptor tyrosine kinases such as EGF, PDGF, IGF-I, MET receptors, EGF receptor-related receptors such as HER2, neu, C-erbB2 receptors or NGF receptors are particularly suitable as medicaments.
