Definitions
- This invention relates to the modification of polypeptides, and more particularly to the modification of insulin-like growth factors and to methods of making and using such modified polypeptides.
- the insulin gene family comprised of insulin, relaxin, insulin-like growth factors 1 and 2, and possibly the beta subunit of 7S nerve growth factor, represents a group of structurally related polypeptides whose biological functions have diverged as reported in Dull, et al., Nature 310:777-781 ( 1984).
- Insulin-like growth factors 1 and 2 are about 7-8 kilodalton proteins that are structurally related to each other and to insulin. IGF-1 and IGF-2 share about 70% amino acid identity with each other and about 30% amino acid identity with insulin. IGF-1 and IGF-2 are believed to have related tertiary structures as reported in PCT Application Publication No. WO 90/00569, published on January 25, 1990. The structural similarity between IGF-1 and IGF- 2 permits both to bind to IGF receptors. Two IGF receptors are known to exist. IGF-1 and IGF-2 bind to the IGF type I receptor, while insulin binds with less affinity to this receptor.
- the type I receptor preferentially binds IGF-1 and is believed to transduce the mitogenic effects of IGF-1 and IGF-2.
- IGF-2 binds to the type I receptor with a 10-fold lower affinity than IGF-1 .
- the second or type II IGF receptor preferentially binds IGF-2. Receptor binding is believed to be necessary for the biological activities of IGF-1 and IGF-2.
- IGF-1 and IGF-2 are mitogenic for a large number of cell types, including fibroblasts, keratinocytes, endothelial cells and osteoblasts (bone-forming cells) .
- IGF-1 and IGF-2 also stimulate differentiation of many cell types, e.g., synthesis and secretion of collagens by osteoblasts. IGF-1 and IGF-2 exert their mitogenic and cell differentiating effects by binding to the specific IGF cell surface receptors. IGF-1 also has been shown to inhibit protein catabolism in vivo, stimulate glucose uptake by cells and to promote survival of isolated neurons in culture. These properties have led to IGF-1 being tested as a therapeutic agent ⁇ for a variety of disease indications as reported in Froesch et al., Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism, 254-260 (May/June 1990) and Cotterill, Clinical Endocrinology. 37: 1 1 -1 6 (1 992).
- IGFBP-1 through IGFBP-6 IGF binding proteins that circulate throughout the body. These proteins bind IGF-1 and IGF-2 with high affinity. The binding of IGF- 1 and IGF-2 to binding proteins reduces the action of these IGFs on cells by preventing their interaction with cell surface IGF receptors. IGF binding proteins, particularly IGFBP-3, also function to prolong the circulating half-lives of IGF-1 and IGF-2 in the blood stream. In the absence of IGF binding proteins, the half- life of IGF-1 in blood is less than 10 minutes. In contrast, when IGF-1 is bound to IGFBP-3, its half-life in blood is lengthened to about 8 hours.
- the circulating half-life of IGF-1 bound to the other smaller binding proteins is about 30 minutes as reported in Davis et al., J. of Endocrinology. 123:469-475 ( 1 989); Guler et al., Acta Endocrinolooica, 1 21 :753-758 (1989); and Hodgkinson et al., J. of
- IGF insulin growth factor
- binding proteins When IGF is bound to binding proteins, it is unable to bind to the IGF receptors and is therefore, no longer active in the body. Decreased affinity to binding proteins allows more of the IGF to be active in the body. Situations where this decreased affinity to binding proteins may be useful include, for example, cachexia, osteoporosis, and peripheral neuropathies.
- IGF binding proteins can vary greatly, depending upon the disease state. For example, IGFBP-1 levels are very high in diabetes patients, whereas they are nearly undetectable in normal patients as reported in Brismar et al., J. of Endocrinological Investigation, 1 1 :599-602 ( 1 988); Suikkari et al.. J. of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism. 66:266-273 ( 1 988); and Unterman et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Comm., 1 63:882-887 (1989). IGFBP-3 levels are reduced in severely ill patients such as those that have undergone major surgery as reported in Davies et al., J. Endocrinology,

- IGF-1 or IGF-1 having a deletion of the first three amino acids ordinarily found in IGF-1 were demonstrated in Tomas et al., Biochem. J., 276:547-554 (1991 ). Growth restoration in insulin- deficient diabetic rats by administration of recombinantly produced human IGF-1 is reported in Scheiwiller et al., Nature, 323: 169 (1986). IGF-1 and (des1 -3)IGF- 1 enhance growth in rats after gut resection, as reported in Lemmey et al., Am.
- IGF-1 and (des1 -3) IGF-1 are limited by their short circulating half-lives to situations when the proteins can be administered by continual infusion or by multiple daily injections to achieve their maximum therapeutic potential.
- Woodall et al., Horm. Metab. Res. , 23: 581 -584 (1991 ) reports that the same total dose of IGF-1 administered four times daily by subcutaneous injection was far superior in stimulating growth in mutant lit/lit mice (growth hormone deficient mice) than was the same total dose administered once daily.
- IGF-1 insulin growth factor-1
- injectable drugs patient compliance is expected to be higher for drugs that can be administered once a day rather than several times a day.
- IGF-1 In order for IGF-1 to be therapeutically effective when given once a day or once every few days, methods must be developed to increase its circulating half-life.
- Increasing the molecular weight of a protein by covalently bonding an inert polymer chain such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) to the protein is known to increase the circulating half-life of the protein in the body.

- the free cysteine residues can be substituted or inserted in regions of the IGF molecule that are exposed on the protein's surface.
- the free cysteine serves as the attachment site for the polyethylene glycol (PEG) molecules to IGF, resulting in pegylated molecules. Attachment of the PEG molecule to a mutein creates a further modified form of IGF, or IGF-PEG conjugate of defined structure, where the PEG is attached to the IGF at a predetermined site.

- repeated subcutaneous or intramuscular injections may be administered. Both of these methods are intended to create a preselected concentration range of IGF-1 mutein in the patient's blood stream. It is believed that the maintenance of circulating concentrations of IGF-1 mutein of less than 0.01 ng per ml of plasma may not be effective, while the prolonged maintenance of circulating levels in excess of 100 ug per ml may be undesirable.
- the frequency of dosing will depend on pharmacokinetic parameters of the IGF-PEG conjugate in the formulation used.
- the IGF-1 gene was assembled in two stages. Initially, the DNA sequence encoding IGF-1 was joined to DNA sequences encoding the secretory leader sequence of the E. coli OMP A protein (ompAL). This gene fusion was constructed in order to determine whether IGF-1 could be efficiently secreted from E. coli. A second construct, in which IGF-1 is expressed as an intracellular protein in E. coli, was created by deleting DNA sequences encoding the OmpA leader sequence and replacing them with DNA sequences that allow intracellular expression of IGF-1 .

The weights of the rats were monitored daily and only rats with weight gains of less than 2 grams per week during the 2-3 weeks after arrival were considered to be successivefully hypophysectomized and used for the experiments.
- mice (10 Hypox rats per group) were injected every third day (ETD) subcutaneously (sc) with WT rIGF-l (1 60 mg, 320mg), unpegylated C2 (320mg), unpegylated C3 (320mg), pegylated C2 (C2-PEG, 320mg) or Pegylated C3 (C3-PEG,320mg) dissolved in 0.2 ml of binding buffer (0.1 M HEPES-0.05 M NaH 2 P0 4 ).
- a separate group of 10 animals received 0.2ml vehicle. Injections were given between 0700 hours and 0800 hours and body weights were recorded daily between 1600 h and 1700 h. The weights of rats on the day after the last injection were taken as the final weight.
- mice (9 Hypox rats per group) were injected every third day sub-cutaneously with WT rIGF-l (320mg, single injection daily, SID; 320mg ETD; 640mg ETD), or C3-PEG (320mg ETD, 640mg ETD, 960mg ETD). dissolved in 0.2 ml of binding buffer (0.1 M HEPES-0.05 M NaH 2 P0 4 ). A separate group of 9 animals received 0.2ml vehicle. Injections were given between 0700 h and
- mice (10 Hypox rats) were injected every third day sub-cutaneously with C3-PEG (160mg ETD, 320mg ETD), dissolved in 0.2 ml vehicle (0.1 M HEPES-0.05 M NaH 2 P0 4 ). A separate group of 10 animals received 0.2ml vehicle. Injections were given between 0700 h and 0800 h and body weight were recorded daily between 1600-1700 h. The weights of rats on the day after the last injection were taken as the final weight. At the end of Experiments I & II, rats were asphyxiated with C0 2 and weighed. In Experiment III, the tibia were removed and the epiphyseal width measured.
- IGF-I muteins with reduced affinity for IGF binding proteins exhibit greater in vivo bioactivity than WT-IGF-I.
- Un-PEGylated C2 has unaltered affinity for IGF-BP1 , and similar bioactivity to WT IGF-I.
- C3-PEG administered sc ETD exhibits greater potency than WT IGF-I administered sc ETD. All doses of C3-PEG stimulated greater mean weight gain than animals given 320mg WT IGF-I SID. The enhanced pharmacodynamics of C3-PEG make it more potent than WT IGF-I in the animal model described.

Abstract
L'invention concerne des formes modifiées du facteur de croissance insulinoïde (IGF) qui présentent des propriétés pharmacologiques et biologiques améliorées. Ces modifications comprennent les mutéines de l'IGF obtenues par substitution ou addition d'une cystéine dans la séquence d'acides aminés de l'IGF naturel ainsi que des mutéines fixées au polyéthylène-glycol (PEG) sur le site disponible de la cystéine. La présente invention se rapporte également à des procédés de fabrication de ces formes modifiées. Les conjugués IGF-PEG peuvent être formulés en compositions pharmaceutiques et utilisés dans le traitement thérapeutique d'états associés à l'IGF.
