Definitions
- the present invention relates to a cell line useful for the treatment of pain. More particularly, the cell line of this invention has been genetically engineered to produce at least one analgesic compound from each of the groups consisting of endorphins, enkephalins, and catecholamines.
- the superficial dorsal horn of the spinal cord where primary afferent fibers carrying nociceptive information terminate, contains enkephalinergic interneurons and high densities of opiate receptors.
- Acute pain arises in response to acute noxious stimuli. Chronic pain is predominantly due to neuropathies of central or peripheral origin. This neuropathic pain is the result of aberrant somatosensory processing that can result in increased sensitivity to a painful stimulus (hyperalgesia) and pain associated with a stimulus that does not usually provoke pain (allodynia) .
- Intrathecal injection of morphine into the spinal subarachnoid space produces potent analgesia.
- intrathecal administration of norepinephrine or noradrenergic agonists also produces analgesia. See, e.g., Sagen et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 83, pp. 7522-26 (1986) .
- Co-administration of subeffective doses of opiates, such as enkephalins, and catecholamines, such as norepinephrine may synergize to produce analgesia.
- Chromaffin cells in the adrenal medulla produce and release several neuroactive substances including norepinephrine, epinephrine, met-enkephalin, leu- enkephalin, neuropeptide Y, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, so atostatin, neurotensin, cholecystokinin and calcitonin gene-related peptide.
- Sagen et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 83, pp. 7522-26 (1986); Sagen et al., Jour. Neurochem., 56, pp. 623-27 (1991) .
- chromaffin cells produce both opioid peptides and catecholamines
- one approach to reduction of nociceptive response or pain sensitivity has investigated transplanting adrenal medullary tissue, as well as isolated adrenal chromaffin cells, directly into CNS pain modulatory regions, in attempts to provide analgesia. See, e.g., Sagen et al., Brain Research. 384, pp. 189-94 (1986); Vaguero et al., Neuroreport. 2, pp. 149-51 (1991); Ginzberg and
- Allograft tissue is in limited supply, and is not readily available, particularly for in human pain treatment programs.
- allogeneic human tissue carries the risk of pathogenic contamination. .See e.g., Hama and Sagen, Brain Research. 651, pp. 183-93 (1994) .
- Xenogeneic donors may provide large quantities of material that can be readily obtained. For this reason, bovine adrenal tissue has been used. See, e.g., Hama and Sagen, Brajn Research, 651, pp. 183-93 (1994) .
- Bovine adrenal chromaffin cells have been encapsulated to form a bioartificial organ ("BAO") for implantation into rats for the- treatment of acute and chronic pain. See, e.g., Sagen et al., J. Neurosci.. 13, pp. 2415-23 (1993) and Hama et al. , 7th World Congress Pain. Abstract 982, Paris France (1993) .
- Initial trials in human subject have been conducted using encapsulated bovine chromaffin cells. See, Aebischer et al.. Transplantation. 58, pp. 1275-77 (1994) .
- AtT-20 cells were originally derived from a mouse anterior pituitary tumor. These cells synthesize and secrete ⁇ -endorphin. See, e.g., Wu et al., J. Neural Transol. & Plasticity. 5, pp. 15-26 (1993).
- AtT-20/hENK cells are AtT-20 cells that have been genetically engineered to carry the entire human pro- enkephalin A gene (i.e. containing 6 met-enkephalin sequences and one leu-enkephalin sequence) with 200 bases of 5'-flanking sequence and 2.66 kilobases of 3'- flanking sequence. See Wu et al., supra. Comb et al. EMBO J.. 4, pp. 3115-22 (1985).
- Wu et al., J. Neural Transpl. & Plasticity. 5, pp. 15-26 (1993) refers to rat hosts transplanted with AtT-20 or AtT-20/hENK cells. Unstimulated AtT- 20/hENK cells produced more antinociception (tail flick test) than produced by AtT-20 implants. In contrast, isoproterenol stimulation produced more antinociception with AtT-20 cells than with AtT-20/hENK cells. Ibid.
- AtT-20 or AtT-20/hENK implants did not affect basal response to thermal nociceptive stimuli.
- Mice receiving AtT-20 implants developed tolerance to ⁇ -endorphin and a ⁇ -opioid agonist (DAMGO) .
- Mice receiving AtT-2Q/hENK implants developed tolerance to an ⁇ -opioid agonist (DPDPE) .
- DPDPE ⁇ -opioid agonist
- mice receiving AtT-20/hENK implants developed less tolerance compared to mice receiving AtT-20 cells or controls. The antinociceptive effect of isoproterenol treatment appeared equal in mice receiving AtT-20 or AtT-20/hENK cell implants. See, Wu et al., J. Neuroscien ⁇ s.

- the primary delivery products include at least one each of an endorphin, an enkephalin and a catecholamine.
- Enkephalins and endorphins are endogenous opioid peptides in humans. These opioid peptides comprise approximately 15 compounds ranging from 5 to 31 amino acids. These compounds bind to and act at least in part via the same ⁇ opioid receptor as morphine, but are chemically unrelated to morphine. In addition, these compounds stimulate other opiate receptors. Yaksh and Malmberg, Textbook of Pain. 3rd Ed. (Eds. P. Wall and R. Melzack) , "Central Pharmacology of Nociceptive Transmission," pp. 165-200, 1994 (New York) .
- the opioid peptides have common chemical properties, but are synthesized in different pathways.
- POMC pro-opiomelanocortin
- the POMC precursor molecule also has the potential to generate other endorphins, including ⁇ -endorphin and gamma-endorphin. Processing of the POMC precursor occurs differently within various tissues according to the localization of cleavage enzymes, such as prohormone convertases, within those tissues.
- ACTH In the pituitary, POMC is cleaved to produce ACTH and ⁇ -endorphin, and the ACTH is not further processed. In contrast, in the hypothalamus, ACTH is converted to ⁇ -MSH. While different cell types may synthesize the same primary gene product, the final profile of hormone secretion may differ widely.
- This invention contemplates use of a DNA sequence encoding any suitable endorphin that has analgesic activity.
- analogs or fragments of these endorphins that have analgesic activity are also contemplated.
- the endorphin to be produced by the cells of this invention may be characterized by amino acid insertions, deletions, substitutions and modifications at one or more sites in the naturally occurring amino acid sequence of the desired endorphin.
- conservative modifications and substitutions i.e., those having a minimal effect on the secondary or tertiary structure of the endorphin and on the analgesic properties of the endorphin.
- conservative substitutions include those described by
- codons in the DNA sequence encoding the wild type endorphin may be altered by site specific mutagenesis.
- This invention contemplates using a DNA sequence encoding the entire POMC precursor molecule, This embodiment takes advantage of the host cell's cleavage enzymes (i.e., Prohormone convertase 2) to - generate a suite of endorphins, some or all of which may have analgesic properties.
- the host cell's cleavage enzymes i.e., Prohormone convertase 2
- endorphins some or all of which may have analgesic properties.
- This invention also contemplates use of DNA fragments of the POMC gene that encode a particular desired endorphin.
- the preferred endorphin encoded by this construct is ⁇ -endorphin.
- Some enkephalins are synthesized in the adrenal glands as part of a large protein, pro- enkephalin A, that contains six repeats of the Met- enkephalin sequence and one Leu-enkephalin structure. Met-enkephalin, as well as Met-enkephalin-Arg-Phe and Met-enkephalin-Arg-Gly-Leu have significant antinociceptive activity. See, e.g., Sagen et al., Brain Res.. 502, pp. 1-10 (1989) .
- enkephalins i.e., dynorphins and neo- endorphins are derived from a distinct molecule, pro- enkephalin B. Additional "cryptic" peptides are also encoded within the structure of these precursor proteins, and may be released by "pro-hormone-type” cleavage. See, e.g., Harrison's "Principles Of Internal Medicine", 12th Edition, pp. 1168-69 (1991) .
- This invention contemplates use of a DNA sequence encoding any suitable enkephalin that has analgesic activity. Analogs and active fragments that have analgesic properties are also contemplated. Such analogs or fragments may thus have amino acid insertions, deletions, substitutions at one or more sites in the naturally occurring amino acid sequence. Such variants may be generated as described above.
- This invention contemplates use of a DNA sequence encoding a desired enkephalin in its "mature" form.
- this invention contemplates using a DNA sequence encoding the entire pro-enkephalin A precursor, or the entire pro-enkephalin B precursor.

- a DNA sequence encoding the entire pro-enkephalin A precursor molecule The DNA and amino acid sequence of pro-enkephalin A are well known. Folkesson. supra. This embodiment takes advantage of the host cell's cleavage enzymes, such as prohormone convertase, to generate a suite of enkephalins, some or all of which may have analgesic properties.

- Catecholamines are synthesized from the amino acid tyrosine, which is sequentially hydroxylated to form dihydroxyphenylalanine (dopa) , decarboxylated to form dopamine, and then hydroxylated on the beta position of the side chain by dopamine beta hydroxylase to form NE.
- dopa dihydroxyphenylalanine
- dopa decarboxylated to form dopamine
- PNMT phenylethanolamine-N methyltransferase
- TH tyrosine hydroxylase
- regulation of synthesis of E from NE may occur by changes in the amount and the activity of phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase
- PNMT PNMT is inducible by glucocorticoids from the adrenal cortex. Ibid.
- Catecholamines are maintained in high concentration in adrenal medullary chromaffin tissue, mostly as E. Opioid peptides are also stored in the adrenal gland. NE and E have similar affinities at 2 receptors and therefore both potentially contribute to analgesia. Bylund, FASEB J.. 6, PP. 832-39 (1992) . The enkephalin peptides that predominantly include met- enkephalin selectively activate delta ( ⁇ ) opioid receptors. Reisine and Bell, Trends Neurosci.. 16, pp. 506-10 (1993) . Activation of ⁇ 2 adrenergic and ⁇ opioid receptors in the spinal cord each result in antinociception and are potentially synergistic.
- This invention contemplates use of a DNA sequence encoding catecholamine biosynthetic enzymes or analogs or fragments thereof to obtain catecholamines that have analgesic properties.
- the preferred catecholamines in this invention are NE and E.
- the host cell is transformed with the genes necessary to accomplish production of NE or E, as desired.
- the selection of heterologous gene sequences required depends upon the complement of catecholamine synthesizing enzymes normally occurring in the host cell. For example, RIN cells, and AtT-20 cells lack tyrosine hydroxylase (“TH”) and dopamine beta hydroxylase (“DBH”) . However, RIN and AtT-20 cells contain endogenous dopa decarboxylase (“DDC”) .
- TH tyrosine hydroxylase
- DDH dopamine beta hydroxylase
- DDC endogenous dopa decarboxylase
- the gene encoding PNMT is also required.
- the gene encoding PNMT is known. Baetge et al. , Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci.. 83, pp. 5455-58 (1986) .
- TH The gene encoding TH is known. See, e.g., United States patent 5,300,436, incorporated herein by reference. Modified TH variants are also known. United States patent 5,300,436. In addition, truncated versions of TH that contain the necessary C-terminal catalytic domains are also known. See, e.g., Daubner et al., Protein Science. 2, pp. 1452-60 (1993) .
- AtT-20 cells have been transformed with wild type TH, as well as various TH muteins. See, e.g., Wu et al., J. Biol. Chem.. 267, pp. 25754-758 (1992) .
- DBH gene The sequence of the DBH gene is also well known. See, e.g., Lamoroux et al., EMBO J.. 6, pp. 3931-37 (1987) . It will be appreciated that in addition to the preferred DNA sequences described herein, there will be many degenerate DNA sequences that code for the desired analgesics.
- Secondary compounds with potential analgesic action may also be produced by the cells of this invention.
- Such compounds include galanin and somatostatin.
- neuropeptide Y, neurotensin and cholecystokinin may be produced by the transformed cells of this invention.
- the cells of this invention may normally produce some or all of these compounds, or may be genetically engineered to do so using standard techniques. Standard methods may be used to obtain or synthesize the genes encoding the analgesic compounds to be produced by the cells of this invention.
- the complete amino acid sequence of the desired compound may be used to construct a back-translated gene.
- a DNA oligomer containing a nucleotide sequence coding for the desired analgesic compound may be synthesized.
- several small oligonucleotides coding for portions of each desired polypeptide may be synthesized and then ligated.
- the individual oligonucleotides typically contain 5' or 3' overhangs for assembly.
- each desired analgesic compound may or may not also include DNA sequences that encode a signal sequence.
- signal sequence if present, should be one recognized by the cell chosen for expression of the analgesic compound. It may be prokaryotic, eukaryotic or a combination of the two. It may also be the signal sequence of the native compound. It generally is preferred that a signal sequence be encoded and most preferably that the native signal sequence be used.
- DNA sequences encoding the desired compounds will be inserted into one or more expression vectors and operatively linked to expression control sequences appropriate for expression in the desired transformed cell.
- Proper assembly may be confirmed by nucleotide sequencing, restriction mapping, and expression of a biologically active polypeptide in the transformed cell.
- the gene in order to obtain high expression levels of a transfected gene in a host, the gene must be operatively linked to transcriptional and translational expression control sequences that are functional in the chosen expression cell.
- the choice of expression control sequence and expression vector will depend upon the choice of cell.
- Useful expression vectors for eukaryotic hosts include, for example, vectors comprising expression control sequences from SV40, bovine papilloma virus, adenovirus and cytomegalovirus.
- useful expression control sequences include the expression control sequences associated with structural genes of the foregoing expression vectors.
- useful expression control sequences include, for example, the early and late promoters of SV40 or adenovirus, the promoter for 3-phosphoglycerate kinase or other glycolytic enzymes, the promoters of acid phosphatase, e.g., Pho5, the promoters of the yeast -mating system and other sequences known to control the expression of genes of eukaryotic cells or their viruses, and various combinations thereof.
- an expression control sequence a variety of factors should also be considered. These include, for example, the relative -strength of the sequence, its controllability, and its compatibility with the actual DNA sequence encoding the desired analgesic compounds, particularly as regards potential secondary structures.
- Host cells should be selected by consideration of their compatibility with the chosen vector, the toxicity of the product coded for by the DNA sequences, their secretion characteristics, their ability to fold the polypeptides correctly, and their culture requirements. If the host cell is to be encapsulated, cell viability when encapsulated and implanted in a recipient should also be considered.
- cells are sequentially transformed with 4 separate expression vectors containing the POMC gene, the pro-enkephalin A gene, the TH gene and the DBH gene.
- amplification of copy number of the heterologous genes is more difficult to achieve.
- use of fewer expression vectors is preferred.
- a single expression vector, containing all 4 heterologous genes is used.
- RIN cells are sequentially transformed with 3 expression vectors.
- the first vector contains the POMC gene operably linked to the CMV promoter.
- a truncated version of the POMC gene is used, having the ACTH coding region deleted.
- the second vector contains the pro-enkephalin A gene operably linked to the CMV promoter.

- Preferred vectors for use in this invention include those that allow the DNA encoding the analgesic compounds to be amplified in copy number.
- Such amplifiable vectors are well known in the art. They include, for example, vectors able to be amplified by DHFR amplification (see, e.g., Kaufman, United States Patent 4,470,461, Kaufman and Sharp, "Construction Of A Modular Dihydrafolate Reductase cDNA Gene: Analysis Of Signals Utilized For Efficient Expression", Mol.

- BAOs may be designed for implantation in a recipient or can be made to function extra-corporeally.
- the BAOs useful in this invention typically have at least one semipermeable outer surface membrane or jacket surrounding a cell-containing core. The jacket permits the diffusion of nutrients, biologically active molecules and other selected products through the BAO.
- the BAO is biocompatible.
- the membrane may serve to also immunoisolate the cells by blocking the cellular and molecular effectors of immunological rejection.
- immunoisolatory membranes allows for the implantation of allo and xenogeneic cells into an individual without the use of immunosuppression. If biologically active molecules are released from the isolated cells, they pass through the surrounding semipermeable membrane into the recipient's body. If metabolic functions are provided by the isolated cells, the substances to be metabolized enter the BAO from the recipient's body through the membrane to be acted on by the cells.
- a variety of types of membranes have been used in the construction of BAOs.
- the membranes used in BAOs are either microporous or ultrafiltration grade membranes.
- a variety of membrane materials have been suggested for use in BAOs, including PAN/PVC, polyurethanes, polysufones, polyvinylidienes, and polystyrenes.
- Typical membrane geometries include flat sheets, which may be fabricated into "sandwich" type constructions, having a layer of living cells positioned between two essentially planar membranes with seals formed around the perimeter of the device.
- hollow fiber devices may be used, where the living cells are located in the interior of a tubular membrane.
- Hollow fiber BAOs may be formed step-wise by loading living cells in the lumen of the hollow fiber and providing seals on the ends of the fiber. Hollow fiber BAOs may also be formed by a coextrusion process, where living cells are coextruded with a polymeric solution which forms a membrane around the cells.
- BAOs may contain other components that promote long term survival of the encapsulated cells.
- WO 92/19195 refers to implantable immunoisolatory biocompatible vehicles having a hydrogel matrix for enhancing cell viability.
- the encapsulating membrane of the BAO may be made of a material which is the same as that of the core, or it may be made of a different material. In either case, a surrounding or peripheral membrane region of the BAO which is permselective and biocompatible will be formed.
- the membrane may also be constructed to be immunoisolatory, if desired.
- the core contains isolated cells, either suspended in a liquid medium or immobilized within a hydrogel matrix.
- Polymeric membranes forming the BAO and the growth surfaces therein may include polyacrylates (including acrylic copolymers), polyvinylidenes, polyvinyl chloride copolymers, polyurethanes, polystyrenes, polyamides, cellulose acetates, cellulose nitrates, polysulfones, polyphosphazenes, polyacrylonitriles, poly(acrylonitrile/covinyl chloride), as well as derivatives, copolymers and mixtures thereof.

- the jacket may have a single skin or a double skin.
- a single-skinned hollow fiber may be produced by quenching only one of the surfaces of the polymer solution as it is co-extruded.
- a double-skinned hollow fiber may be produced by quenching both surfaces of the polymer solution as it is co-extruded.
- capsule configurations such as cylindrical, disk-shaped or spherical are possible.
- the jacket of the BAO will have a pore size that determines the nominal molecular weight cut off (riMWCO) of the permselective membrane. Molecules larger than the nMWCO are physically impeded from traversing the membrane. Nominal molecular weight cut off is defined as 90% rejection under convective conditions.
- the membrane pore size is chosen to permit the particular factors being produced by the cells to diffuse out of the vehicle, but to exclude the entry of host immune response factors into the BAO.
- the nMWCO ranges between 50 and 200 kD, preferably between 90 and 150 kD.
- the most suitable membrane composition will also minimize reactivity between host immune effector molecules known to be present at the selected implantation site, and the BAO's outer membrane components.
- the core of the BAO is constructed to provide a suitable local environment for the particular cells isolated therein.
- the core can comprise a liquid medium sufficient to maintain cell growth. Liquid cores are particularly suitable for maintaining transformed cell lines like PC12 cells.

- compositions that form hydrogels fall into three general classes.
- the first class carries a net negative charge (e.g., alginate).
- the second class carries a net positive charge (e.g., collagen and laminin) .
- Examples of commercially available extracellular matrix components include MatrigelTM and VitrogenTM.
- the third class is net neutral in charge (e.g., highly crosslinked polyethylene oxide, or polyvinylalcohol) .
- any suitable method of sealing the BAO may be used, including the employment of polymer adhesives and/or crimping, knotting and heat sealing. These sealing techniques are known in the art.
- any suitable "dry” sealing method can also be used. In such methods, a substantially non-porous fitting is provided through which the cell-containing solution is introduced. Subsequent to filling, the BAO is sealed.
- Such a .method is described in copending United States application Serial No. 08/082,407, herein incorporated by reference.
- One or more in vitro assays are preferably used to establish functionality of the BAO prior to implantation in vivo.
- Assays or diagnostic tests well known in the art can be used for these purposes. See, e.g., Methods Tn Enzvmolo ⁇ v. Abelson [Ed], Academic Press, 1993.
- an ELISA enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay
- chromatographic or enzymatic assay or bioassay specific for the secreted product can be used.
- secretory function of an implant can be monitored over time by collecting appropriate samples (e.g., serum) from the recipient and assaying them. If the recipient is a primate, microdialysis may be used.
- the number of BAOs and BAO size should be sufficient to produce a therapeutic effect upon implantation is determined by the amount of biological activity required for the particular application.
- standard dosage considerations and criteria known to the art are used to determine the amount of secretory substance required. Factors to be considered are discussed in Dionne, WO 92/19195.
- Implantation of the BAO is performed under sterile conditions.
- the BAO is implanted at a site in the host which will allow appropriate delivery of the secreted product or function to the host and of nutrients to the encapsulated cells or tissue, and will also allow access to the BAO for retrieval and/or replacement.

- LCM 24 Light curable acrylate glue, available from ICI
- the opposite end is previously attached to a frangible necked hub assembly, having a silicone septum through which the cell solution may be introduced.
- the fiber is glued to the hub assembly by applying LCM 22 to the outer diameter of the hub assembly, pulling the fiber up over it, and curing with blue light.

The cell solution was diluted in the ratio of two parts matrix solution to one part cell solution containing the transformed cells described above. We prefer Vitrogen (Celtix, Santa Clara) as a matrix for AtT-20 cells.
- RINa based cells are prepared for encapsulation by the following method.
- the cells are grown in base media of DMEM + 10% fetal bovine serum during the proliferation phase. These cells can be removed from the tissue culture flasks by two washes in Hanks balanced salt solution without calcium and magnesium.

- the RINa cells secrete more analgesic substances when cultured in this serum free media ⁇ relative to serum continuing base media.
- Organogen is a 1% bovine tendon collagen obtained as a sterile solution. 8 parts of this solution are mixed with 1 part 10X DPBS. 0.5 N sodium hydroxide is added until physiological pH is attained (approximately 250 ⁇ ls) .
- the final concentration of the cell + matrix solution used for encapsulation can range from 20,000 - 50,000 cells/ ⁇ l.
- the cells are counted in a standard manner on a hemocytometer.
- the cell/matrix suspension is placed in a 1 ml syringe.
- a Hamilton 1800 Series 50 microliter syringe is set for a 15 microliter air bubble, is inserted into a 1 ml syringe containing the cell solution and 30 microliters are drawn up.
- the cell solution is injected through the silicone seal of the hub/fiber assembly into the lumen of a modacrylic hollow fiber membrane with a molecular weight cutoff of approximately 50,000-100,000 daltons. Ultrafiltration should be observed along the entire length of the fiber.
- the hub is snapped off the sub-hub, exposing a fresh surface, unwet by cell solution.
- a single drop of LCM 24 is applied and the adhesive cured with blue light.
- the device is placed first in HEPES buffered NaCl solution and then in CaCl 2 solution for five minutes to cross-link the alginate.
- Each implant is about 5 cm long, 1 mm in diameter, and contained approximately 2.5 million cells.
- a silicone tether (Speciality Silcone Fabrication, Paso Robles, CA) (ID: 0.69, OD: 1.25) is then placed over the proximal end of the fiber.
- a radiopaque titanium plug is inserted in the lumen of the silicone tether to act as a radiographic marker.
- the devices are then placed in 100 mm tissue culture dishes in 1.5 ml PC-1 medium, and stored at 37°C, in a 5% CO : incubator for in vi tro analysis and for storage until implantation.
- the encapsulated cells are then implanted into the human sub-arachnoid space as follows:
- the patient After establishing IV access and administering prophylactic antibiotics (cefazolin sodium, 1 gram IV) , the patient is positioned on the operating table, generally in either the lateral decubitus or genu-pectoral position, with the lumbar spine flexed anteriorly.
- the operative field is sterily prepared and draped exposing the midline dorsal lumbar region from the levels of S-l to L-l, and allowing for intraoperative imaging of the lumbar spine with C-arm fluoroscopy.
- Local infiltration with 1.0% lidocaine is used to establish anesthesia of the skin as well as the periosteum and other deep connective tissue structures down to and including the ligamentum flavum.
- a 3-5 cm skin incision is made in the parasagital plane 1-2 cm to the right or left of the midline and is continued down to the lumbodorsal fascia using electrocautery for hemostasis.
- 18 gauge Touhy needle is introduced into the subarachnoid space between L-3 and L-4 via an oblique paramedian approach. The needle is directed so that it enters the space at a shallow, superiorly directed angle that is no greater than 30- 35° with respect to the spinal cord in either the sagittal or transverse plane. Appropriate position of the tip of the needle is confirmed by withdrawal of several ml of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for preimplantation catecholamine, enkephalin, glucose, and protein levels and cell counts.
- CSF cerebrospinal fluid
- the Touhy needle hub is reexamined to confirm that the opening at the tip is oriented superiorly
- the guide wire is passed down the lumen of the needle until it extends 4- 5 cm into the subarachnoid space (determined by premeasuring) . Care is taken during passage of the wire that there is not resistance to advancement of the wire out of the needle and that the patient does not complain of significant neurogenic symptoms, either of which observations might indicate misdirection of the guide wire and possible impending nerve root or spinal cord injury.
- the Touhy needle is separately withdrawn and removed from the wire.
- the 7 French dilator is then placed over the guide wire and the wire is used to direct the dilator as it is gently but firmly pushed through the fascia, paraspinous muscle, and ligamentum flavum, following the track of the wire toward the subarachnoid space. Advancement of the 7 French dilator is stopped and the dilator removed from the wire as soon as a loss of resistance is detected after passing the ligamentum flavum. This is done in order to avoid advancing and manipulating this relatively rigid dilator within the subarachnoid space to any significant degree.
- the 6 French dilator and cannula sheath are assembled and placed over the guide wire.
- the 6 French dilator and cannula are advanced carefully into the subarachnoid space until the opening tip of the cannula is positioned 7 cm within the space.
- the assembled 6 French dilator and cannula are directed by the wire within the lumen of the dilator.
- Position within the subarachnoid space is determined by premeasuring the device and is grossly confirmed by fluoroscopy. Great care is taken with manipulation of the dilators and cannula within the subarachnoid space to avoid misdirection and possible neurologic injury.
- the guide wire and the 6 French dilator are gently removed from the lumen of the cannula in sequence.
- CSF flow through the cannula at this point should be noticeable and may be very brisk, requiring capping the cannula or very prompt placement of the capsule implant in order to prevent excessive CSF.
- the encapsulated (transformed cells) is provided in a sterile, double envelope container, bathed in transport medium, and fully assembled including a tubular silicone tether.
- the capsule Prior to implantation through the cannula and into the subarachnoid space, the capsule is transferred to the insertion kit tray where it is positioned in a location that allowed the capsule to be maintained in transport medium while it is grossly examined for damage or major defects, and while the silicone tether is trimmed, adjusting its length to the pusher and removing the hemaclipTM that plugs its external end.
- the tether portion of the capsule is mounted onto the stainless steel pusher by inserting the small diameter wire portion of the pusher as the membrane portion of the device is carefully introduced into the cannula.
- the capsule is advanced until the tip of the membrane reaches a point that is 2-10 mm within the cranial tip of the cannula in the subarachnoid space. This placement is achieved by premeasuring the cannula and the capsule-tether-pusher assembly, and it assures that the membrane portion of the capsule is protected by the cannula for the entire time that it is being advanced into position.
- the pusher is used to hold the capsule in position (without advancing or withdrawing) in the subarachnoid space while the cannula is completely withdrawn from over the capsule and pusher.
- the pusher is then removed from the capsule by sliding its wire portion out of the silicone tether.
- the final placement of the capsule is such that the 5 cm long membrane portion of the device lay entirely within the CSF containing subarachnoid space ventral to the cauda equina. It is anchored at its caudal end by a roughly 1-2 cm length of silicone tether that runs within the subarachnoid space before the tether exits through the dura and ligamentum flavum.
- the tether continues externally from this level through the paraspinous muscle and emerges from the lumbodorsal fascia leaving generally 10-12 cm of free tether material that is available for securing the device.
- CSF leakage is minimized by injecting fibrin glue (Tissel®) into the track occupied by the tether in the paraspinous muscle, and by firmly closing the superficial fascial opening of the track with a purse- string suture.
- the free end of the tether is then anchored with non-absorbable suture and completely covered with a 2 layer closure of the skin and subcutaneous tissue.
- the patient is then transferred to the neurosurgical recovery area and kept at strict bed rest, recumbent, for 24 hours postoperatively. Antibiotic prophylaxis is also continued for 24 hours following the implantation procedure.
