Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the use of a composition containing transforming growth factor ⁇ (TGF- ⁇ ) and a composition containing anabolic growth factors (AGF), in particular insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) for the prevention or treatment of malfunction or disease of the intestinal mucosa.
  • TGF- ⁇ transforming growth factor ⁇
  • AMF anabolic growth factors
  • IGF-1 insulin-like growth factor 1
  • the invention further relates to a composition containing TGF- ⁇ and specific fibres and/or immunoglobulines and/or calcium which can also be used for such a treatment, in particular in combination with IGF-1.
  • the composition containing TGF- ⁇ is administered during a period in which it is desired to inhibit cell proliferation and stimulate cell differentiation.
  • the composition containing IGF-1 is administered to restore intestinal epithelial cells.
  • TGF- ⁇ is a multifunctional protein found in all mammalian tissues. Currently, five forms of TGF- ⁇ are known, ⁇ l to ⁇ 5. It has been implicated in the development, differentiation and growth of tissue and the control of immune system function and carcinogenesis. TGF- ⁇ can be isolated from natural sources (e.g. blood platelets), mammalian milk or colostrum or can be produced by recombinant cells.
  • natural sources e.g. blood platelets
  • mammalian milk or colostrum can be produced by recombinant cells.
  • IGF-1 is a small protein (molecular weight about 7800) which plays an important role in bone metabolism. It has been shown to stimulate growth of cells in culture. Animal growth is also stimulated in pituitary deficient, normal and catabolic states. Kidney function is also improved. It can be produced using recombinant DNA technology, solid phase peptide synthesis, by isolating it from blood serum or from human or bovine milk.
  • TGF- ⁇ and its uses are for instance described in EP 852913.
  • This document relates to an enteral food preparation which contains casein rich in TGF- ⁇ 2, a lipid source such as medium chain or long chain triglycerides or polyunsaturated fatty acids and a carbohydrate source, i.e. maltodextrin, corn starch or sucrose.
  • This composition is used in the treatment or prophylaxis of inflammatory conditions of the gastrointestinal tract, such as Crohn's disease.
  • EP 462,398 describes the combination of TGF- ⁇ 1 and a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) such as linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid, gamma-linolenic acid, arachidonic acid, dihomo- gamma-linolenic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid and/or docosahexanoic acid and/or a derivative thereof for treatment of neoplastic diseases.
  • PUFA polyunsaturated fatty acid
  • WO 96/34614 describes a method for preventing and/or treating damage to the lining of the alimentary tract resulting from chemotherapy and/or radiation, wherein a milk product extract including a mixture of cell growth factors is administered to a patient.
  • the milk product extract preferably a cheese whey extract, may contain lactoferrin and lactoperoxidase and it can be supplemented with growth factors such as IGF-1, IGF-2, TGF- ⁇ , TGF- ⁇ , EGF, PDGF, FGF or KGF. This document does not mention which of the substances mentioned should be present in order to achieve the desired preventing or curing effect.
  • TGF- ⁇ 3 Treatment of chemotherapy induced ulcerative mucositis by transforming growth factor ⁇ 3
  • Topical application of TGF- ⁇ 3 to the oral mucosa of the Syrian golden hamster prior to chemotherapy significantly reduced the incidence, severity and duration of oral mucositis, reduced chemotherapy associated weight loss and increased survival.
  • Prevention of mucositis according to this document is based on limiting the rate of basal epithelial cell proliferation by prior administration of a negative growth regulator.
  • TGF- ⁇ 3 can be administered to slow growth of normal cells and thereby inhibit cytotoxic poisoning of the normal cells in the subject.
  • the TGF- ⁇ 3 is administered prior to anti-neoplastic therapy.
  • a mitogen for epithelial cells can be administered.
  • the drawback of the method of this document is that preferably a growth factor obtained by recombinant technology is used.
  • these type of growth factors have shown to be less stable during sterilisation treatments. Also the biological availability of these growth factors in the gastrointestinal tract is not yet satisfactory.
  • TGF- ⁇ should be administered without the presence of IGF-1, in particular any anabolic growth factor, during the chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
  • IGF-1 in particular any anabolic growth factor
  • damaging effects that may have occurred during this therapy can be treated by administering anabolic growth factors, in particular IGF-1 in the substantial absence of TGF- ⁇ .
  • IBD inflammatory bowel diseases
  • the present invention therefore provides the use of TGF- ⁇ and AGF in the preparation of a product for use in the treatment and/or prevention of malfunction or disease of the intestinal mucosa; the product comprising: a) a first pharmaceutical composition comprising TGF- ⁇ in the substantial absence of IGF-1, which TGF- ⁇ is obtained by extraction from a mammalian milk product; b) a second pharmaceutical composition comprising AGF in the substantial absence of TGF- ⁇ , wherein the first and second composition are administered sequentially.
  • the weight ratio TGF- ⁇ /IGF-1 in the first pharmaceutical composition is at least 100.
  • TGF- ⁇ when a mixture of growth factors is used, for instance when a milk product extract is used, the beneficial effect of TGF- ⁇ is reduced by the presence of anabolic growth factors Therefore, it is preferred to administer TGF- ⁇ in the substantial absence of such growth factors.
  • the first pharmaceutical composition comprises TGF- ⁇ in substantial absence of AGF.
  • IGF-1 insulin-like growth factor 2
  • IGF-2 insulin-like growth factor 2
  • EGF epidermal growth factor
  • TGF- ⁇ transforming growth factor ⁇
  • MMGF mammalian milk growth factor
  • FGF fibroblast growth factor
  • EGF is for instance described in EP 0546 068, MMGF in WO 99/24470.
  • the ratio TGF- ⁇ /AGF is preferably at least 50.
  • the AGF in the second pharmaceutical composition is IGF-1. This means that preferably at least IGF- 1 is present in the second composition.
  • these include also the active peptide analogues of these growth factors.
  • peptide analogue is meant any peptide having substantially the same activity as the growth factor, particularly any peptide analogue which is 90% or more homologous with the growth factor.
  • “Pharmaceutical composition” is meant to include any conventional pharmaceutical preparation such as a capsule, a tablet etc., as well as dietetic preparations such as feed supplements or total feeds.
  • the sequential administration of the first pharmaceutical composition containing TGF- ⁇ and the second pharmaceutical composition containing AGF, preferably at least IGF-1, according to the invention is particular suitable for intestinal disorders in which two phases can be distinguished.
  • the first phase is a phase in which it is desired to inhibit the metabolism.
  • the second phase which follows the first phase, the intestinal epithelial cells need to be restored.
  • the composition containing TGF- ⁇ is administered during the first phase, the composition containing anabolic growth factors, in particular IGF-1 during the second phase.
  • the sequential administration of TGF- ⁇ and IGF-1 is used for the prevention and/or treatment of damage of the intestinal mucosa as a result of chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy.
  • damage is meant any alteration in normal structure or function. Such damage includes mucositis, at least partial loss of mucosal crypt area and/or mucosal villus length, or an increase in bacterial translocation across the alimentary tract.
  • Chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy are effective at destroying tumours because they target fast-growing tissues. While tumour cells are selectively targeted by anticancer treatments the fast growing tissues of the host are also susceptible, particularly the immune cells of the body and the lining of the alimentary tract. This can result in damage to the linings of the mouth and oesophagus (mucositis, also referred to as stomatitis) and damage to the intestinal lining, commonly in the small bowel and less frequently in the large bowel, leading to severe diarrhoea and pain.
  • mucositis also referred to as stomatitis
  • a first composition containing TGF- ⁇ should be administered without the presence of IGF-I, preferably any anabolic growth factor, during the chemotherapy or radiotherapy, in particular during at least the period starting at the latest the first day of said chemotherapy or radiotherapy treatment and ending at the latest the last day of treatment. It was furthermore found that after the chemotherapy or radiotherapy, damaging effects that may have occurred during these therapies can be treated by administering a second composition containing AGF, in particular IGF-1, in the substantial absence of TGF- ⁇ .
  • IGF-I preferably any anabolic growth factor
  • the sequential administration of TGF- ⁇ and IGF-1 is used in the prevention and/or treatment of inflammatory conditions of the intestine, in particular inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), such as Crohn's disease.
  • IBD inflammatory bowel diseases
  • TGF- ⁇ a TGF- ⁇ extracted from a mammalian milk product, such as milk or whey, in particular bovine milk or whey, most preferably whey is used.
  • a mammalian milk product such as milk or whey, in particular bovine milk or whey, most preferably whey is used.
  • the advantages of such TGF- ⁇ are that it comes from a natural source because of the reluctance against products obtained by recombinant techniques, cost effectiveness and the presence of other beneficial components in milk or whey extract, such as immunoglobulins.
  • Milk contains TGF- ⁇ l(ca. 15%) and TGF- ⁇ 2 (ca. 85%).
  • a process for extracting such a TGF- ⁇ is described in a copending application of the applicants (PCT NL/99/00621).
  • an extract which contains binding factors for TGF- ⁇ .
  • This extract can be obtained by using an extraction process, preferably excluding acidic extraction steps (pH ⁇ 5.5).
  • Binding factors for TGF- ⁇ are defined as components that are able to form a stable complex with TGF- ⁇ in aqueous media. In bovine milk these are albumin and Latency Associated Peptide (LAP).
  • binding factors results in increased stability of the growth factor, for instance during sterilisation. It also results in better bioavailability of TGF- ⁇ and thus in higher activity.
  • the binding factors help survive the growth factors during passage in the intestine, where digestive enzymes may degrade the growth factors resulting in (partial) loss of activity.
  • milk products could be used as a source for growth factors in the treatment of the disorders as mentioned in the present application, but that in order to be useful a separation treatment should be carried out, separating the transforming growth factor from anabolic growth factors.
  • a TGF- ⁇ obtained from bovine whey or milk will in general contain more than 100, preferably more than 700 ⁇ g TGF- ⁇ per g protein. Such an extract will for instance contain 750 ⁇ g TGF- ⁇ /g protein.

  • the first pharmaceutical composition according to the invention also con- tains fibres which upon fermentation form more than 15 g of butyrate per 100 g of short chain fatty acids, preferably more than 20 g of butyrate per 100 g of short chain fatty acids.
  • This characteristic means that the composition should contain fibres that release a relative large amount of butyrate when they are fermented in the intestine (colon). The amount of butyrate can be determined by the method described in Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1991, no. 53, p. 1418-1424.
  • fibres which upon fermentation result in butyrate.
  • Such fibres are: resistant starch, oats bran, in particular the arabinoxylan rich fraction that is poor in ⁇ -glucan, some soy fibre extracts and wheat bran.
  • wheat bran is used.
  • the amount of fibre is such that a daily ratio of 1 to 30 g, preferably 3 to 10 g, is obtained. In a liquid preparation the concentration is thus 10 to 300 g/1.
  • the TGF- ⁇ composition according to the invention preferably contains immunoglobulins, more in particular in combination with the above mentioned fibres. Their main function is to interact with harmful micro-organisms such as bacteria. This prevents the micro-organism from entering the blood circulation system. This situation in particular occurs when the intestinal mucosa of the patient has been damaged as a result of treatment with chemotherapy.
  • the immunoglobulins can be isolated from milk of mammals which have been hyperimmu- nised against certain pathogens or they can be isolated from normal bovine whey or milk. With the process described in the above mentioned patent application, using normal cow's milk as a starting material, a preparation is obtained rich in IgG and IgA. 30 to 50 % of the protein fraction consists of immunoglobulins of the type IgG and IgA. The concentration immunoglobulins in the preparation will, in case of a liquid preparation of 100 ml, be 0.1 to 1500 mg/1.

  • Lactoferrin can be present because it has anti-bacterial activity against a number of pathogens. This substance can also have a modulating action with initial inflammatory reactions, which are delayed. It is desired to have a daily doses of 0.1 to 3 g of lactoferrin. It is preferred that the composition contains less than 11 %, preferably less than 6 % digestible carbohydrates. A higher percentage of these substances would affect the taste of the composition. Generally about 4.5 g/100 ml are used. As a source of digestible carbohydrates sucrose, but also slowly digestible carbohydrates can be used.
