Definitions
- Mammalian bone tissue has a remarkable ability to regenerate and thereby repair injuries and other defects.
- bone growth is generally sufficient to bring about full recovery from most simple and hairline fractures.
- fractures generally does not occur throughout large voids or spaces. Therefore, fractures cannot heal unless the pieces are in close proximity. If a significant amount of bone tissue was lost as a result of the injury, the healing process may be incomplete, resulting in undesirable cosmetic and/or mechanical outcomes. This is often the case with non-union fractures or with bone injuries resulting from massive trauma.
- Tissue growth is also generally inadequate in voids and segmental gaps in bone caused, for example, by surgical removal of tumors or cysts.
- osteoinductive proteins have been identified, isolated and expressed using recombinant technology. Examples include the bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs) disclosed in U.S Patent No. 5,902,705 and WO 95/16035.
- BMPs bone morphogenic proteins
- the use of recombinant proteins as therapeutic agents generally has a number of drawbacks, including the cost of manufacture, in vivo biodegradation and short shelf lives. Consequently, scientists are continuing to search for new osteoinductive agents which do not have the aforementioned shortcomings.
- cartilage does not self-repair following injury.
- Cartilage is an avascular tissue made up largely of cartilage specific cells, the chondrocytes, special types of collagen, and proteoglycans.
- the inability of cartilage to self-repair after injury, disease, or surgery is a major limiting factor in rehabilitation of degrading joint surfaces and injury to meniscal cartilage.
- Osteoarthritis the major degenerative disease of weight bearing joint surfaces, is caused by eroding or damaged cartilage surfaces and is present in approximately 25% of the over 50-year-old population. In the US more than 20 million people suffer from osteoarthritis, with annual healthcare costs of more than $8.6 billion.
- the cost for cartilage repair from acute joint injury meniscal lesions, patellar surface damage and chondromalacia
- new therapeutic approaches are needed to heal lesions of cartilage caused by degeneration or acute trauma.
- chondrocytes isolated from articular cartilage respond to compounds which activate the non-proteolytic thrombin cell surface receptor (hereinafter "NPAR").
- NPAR non-proteolytic thrombin cell surface receptor
- chondrocytes express approximately 233,000 thrombin binding sites per cell with apparent affinities of approximately 0.1 nM (3000 sites) and 27 nM (230,000 sites) (Example 3).
- the compound TP508 an agonist of the non-proteolytic thrombin receptor, stimulates proliferation of bovine chondrocytes in culture in the presence of thrombin as a co-mitogen
- Example 4A stimulates by itself the proliferation of rat chondrocytes cultured in three dimensional matrix culture (Example 5A).
- This same TP508 compound also stimulates proteoglycan synthesis as measured by the incorporation of 35 S sulfate in both bovine chondrocytes (Example 4B) and 3 -dimensional cultures of rat chondrocytes (Example 5B).
- NPAR agonists can stimulate proliferation and matrix production in chondrocytes isolated from articular cartilage.
- novel methods of stimulating chondrocyte growth in vivo and cartilage repair in a subject and novel delivery methods for delivering pharmaceutical compositions to articular defects to aid in surface repair and to prevent articular degradation are disclosed herein.
- One embodiment of the present invention is a method of stimulating bone growth at a site in a subject in need of osteoinduction.
- the method comprises the step of administering a therapeutically effective amount of an agonist of the non- proteolytically activated thrombin receptor to the site.
- Another embodiment of the present invention is a pharmaceutical composition comprising an implantable, biocompatible carrier and an NPAR agonist such as a physiologically functional equivalent of a thrombin peptide derivative.
- These methods of the present invention are directed at stimulating bone growth in a subject and can be used at sites where bone growth would not occur, absent treatment with autologous bone grafts or administration of bone growth factors.
- the method involves the administration of agonists of the non-proteolytic thrombin receptor.
- agonists include small peptides having homology to the segment between amino acid 508 and 530 of human prothrombin. These small peptides are inexpensive to prepare in bulk quantities and are osteoinductive at low dose.
- their lyophilized form is stable for at least thirty months when stored at 5° C and at 60% relative humidity.
- the present invention is directed to a method of stimulating cartilage growth, regeneration or repair at a site in a subject where cartilage growth, repair or regeneration is needed.
- the method comprises the step of administering a therapeutically effective amount of an NPAR agonist, such as a physiologically functional equivalent of a thrombin peptide derivative to the site of injury.
- an NPAR agonist such as a physiologically functional equivalent of a thrombin peptide derivative
- a further embodiment of the present invention is directed to a method of stimulating the proliferation and expansion of chrondrocytes in vitro.
- the method comprises culturing chrondrocytes in the presence of a stimulating amount of an NPAR agonist.
- Ostoinduction refers to stimulating bone growth at a site within a subject at which little or no bone growth would occur if the site were left untreated. Sites which could therapeutically benefit from the induction of bone growth are referred to as "in need of osteoinduction". Examples include non-union fractures or other severe or massive bone trauma. It is noted that bone growth normally occurs at bone injuries such as simple or hairline fractures and well opposed complex fractures with minimal gaps without the need for further treatment. Such injuries are not considered to be "in need of osteoinduction”. Simple fracture repair appears to be quite different from the induction of bone formation required to fill non-union fractures, segmental gaps or bone voids caused, for example, by removal of a bone tumor or cyst.
- Induction of bone growth is also needed for treating acquired and congenital craniofacial and other skeletal or dental anomalies (see e.g., Glowacki et al, Lancet 1: 959 (1981)); performing dental and periodontal reconstructions where lost bone replacement or bone augmentation is required such as in a jaw bone; and supplementing alveolar bone loss resulting from periodontal disease to delay or prevent tooth loss (see e.g., NASAdsson et al, J. Periodontol, 66: 511 (1995)).
- osteoarthritis or degenerative joint disease is a slowly progressive, irreversible, often monoarticular disease characterized by pain and loss of function.
- the underlying cause of the pain and debilitation is the cartilage degradation that is one of the major symptoms of the disease.
- Hyaline cartilage is a flexible tissue that covers the ends of bones and lies between joints such as the knee. It is also found in between the bones along the spine.
- Cartilage is smooth, allowing stable, flexible movement with minimal friction, but is also resistant to compression and able to distribute applied loads.
- surfaces of cartilage and exposed underlying bone become irregular. Instead of gliding smoothly, boney joint surfaces rub against each other, resulting in stiffness and pain. Regeneration of damaged cartilage and the growth of new cartilage at these arthritic sites would relieve the pain and restore the loss of function associated with osteoarthritis.
- Cartilage damage can also occur from trauma resulting from injury or surgery. Sports injuries are a common cause of cartilage damage, particularly to joints such as the knee. Traumatic injury to cartilage can result in the same type of functional impairment. Therefore, sites in a subject with cartilage that has been damaged by trauma or disease are in need of treatment to restore or promote the growth of cartilage. Applicants have discovered that compounds which stimulate or activate the
- NPAR NPAR agonists
- NPAR agonists are osteoinductive.
- compounds which stimulate or activate NPAR can stimulate chondrocytes to proliferate.
- Chondrocytes are cells which make up about 1% of the volume of cartilage and which replace degraded matrix molecules to maintain the correct volume and mechanical properties of the tissue.
- NPAR agonists can induce cartilage growth and repair when administered to sites needing cartilage growth and/or repair.
- NPAR is a high-affinity thrombin receptor present on the surface of most cells. This NPAR component is largely responsible for high-affinity binding of thrombin, proteolytically inactivated thrombin, and thrombin derived peptides to cells. NPAR appears to mediate a number of cellular signals that are initiated by thrombin independent of its proteolytic activity. An example of one such signal is the upregulation of annexin V and other molecules identified by subtractive hybridization (see Sower, et. al, Experimental Cell Research 247:422 (1999)).
- NPAR is therefore characterized by its high affinity interaction with thrombin at cell surfaces and its activation by proteolytically inactive derivatives of thrombin and thrombin derived peptide agonists as described below.
- NPAR activation can be assayed based on the ability of its agonists to stimulate cell proliferation when added to fibroblasts in the presence of submitogenic concentrations of thrombin or molecules that activate protein kinase C or compete with 125 I-thrombin for high affinity binding to thrombin receptors, as disclosed in US Patent Nos. 5,352,664 and 5,500,412 and in Glenn et al, J.

- NPAR is to be distinguished from other thrombin binding proteins and the cloned family of proteolytically-activated receptors for thrombin, including the receptors PARl, PAR2, PAR3 and PAR4.
- PARl possesses a specific thrombin cleavage site that allows thrombin cleavage to expose a new amino-terminus domain that acts as a tethered ligand folding back onto itself inducing its activation (see, Nu, et al, Cell. 64:1057 (1991)).
- PAR2 has a similar mechanism for activation, but is principally activated by trypsin-like enzymes (see, Zhong, et al, J. Biol Chem.
- ⁇ PAR is distinct from PAR receptors: (1) a population of cells has been isolated that express fully functional PARl receptors, but are non-responsive to thrombin due to a defect in the ⁇ PAR signal transduction pathway (see, Kim, et al, J. Cell. Physiol. 160:573 (1994)); (2) neutrophils bind 1 5 I thrombin with high affinity and their chemotaxis is stimulated by proteolytically inactivated thrombin or ⁇ PAR agonists (see, Ramakrishnan and Carney, Mol Biol. Cell ⁇ :1993 (1993)), yet they do not express PARl (see Jenkins, et al, J. Cell Sci. 108:3059 (1995)); (3) HC9 fibroblasts over-express PARl, but do not bind thrombin with high affinity (see, Kim, D.

- Suitable carriers include porous matrices into which bone progenitor cells may migrate. Osteogenic cells can often attach to such porous matrices, which can then serve as a scaffolding for bone and tissue growth. For certain applications, the carrier should have sufficient mechanical strength to maintain its three dimensional structure and help support the immobilization of the bone segments being united or grafted together. Porous matrices which provide scaffolding for tissue growth can accelerate the rate of bone growth and are said to be "osteoconductive”. Osteoconductive carriers are highly preferred for use in the pharmaceutical compositions described herein.

- the composition of the matrix was varied to form microspheres with different release kinetics (Table 1).
- the mean diameter of the microspheres was measured in a Coulter counter and the drug entrapment efficiency was measured by spectrophotometric assay at 276 nm following dissolution of a weighed sample of microspheres in methylene chloride and extraction of the released drug into water (Table 2).
- TP508 release from the different PLGA matrices 20 mg of microspheres were placed in 1.0 ml of PBS contained in 1.5 ml polypropylene microcentrifuge tubes.

- rat articular chondrocytes Primary cultures of rat articular chondrocytes were isolated and prepared for in vitro analysis using established methods (see Kuettner, K E., et.al.,J. Cell Biology 93: 743-750, 1982). Briefly, cartilage pieces were dissected from the shoulder of rats and the pieces were digested with trypsin for one hour and with collagenase for three hours in tissue culture medium (DMEM) at 37 C with stirring. The cells were plated in flasks at high density (50,000 cells/cm sq.) and were culture in DMEM containing antibiotics an ascorbic acid at 37° C in an atmosphere of 5% CO 2 .
- DMEM tissue culture medium
- thrombin receptor binding assays as disclosed in US Patent 5,352,664 and Carney, DH and Cunningham, DD, Cell 15:1341-1349, 1978. Briefly, highly purified human thrombin was iodinated and added to cultures of chondrocytes with or without unlabeled thrombin to correct for nonspecific binding. By incubating cells with different concentrations of labeled thrombin and measuring the amount of thrombin bound to cells and the amount of free thrombin in the medium it is possible to estimate the number of receptors per cell and the affinity of thrombin for that binding site. Scatchard analysis of the labeled thrombin binding from three separate experiments suggest that rat chondrocytes express an average of 3000 very high affinity binding sites (100 pM affinity) and 230,000 high affinity sites (27 nM).
- bovine chondrocytes Primary cultures of bovine chondrocytes were prepared using the procedure described for rat chondrocytes in Example 1. The cultures were subcultured into 24 well plastic dishes at a low density and placed in 1% serum. Addition of the NPAR agonist TP508 to these cultures at concentrations of 1.0 or 10 ⁇ g/ml by itself did not stimulate cell proliferation. In contrast, addition of these concentrations of TP508 together with a small amount of thrombin co-mitogen, resulted in a small, but significant (p ⁇ 0.05) increase in cell number relative to that seen in thrombin alone after three days in culture.
- bovine chondrocytes were seeded into 96 well plates at a density of 2 x 105 cells per well and cultured in DMEM with 10% fetal calf serum. After establishment of these multi-layer cultures, the medium was replaced daily with DMEM containing 1% serum with indicated concentrations of TP508 from 1 to 100 ⁇ g per ml (Table 5). After 6 days in culture with daily changes of culture medimn with or without TP508, 35 S sulfate was added to the medium and incubation continued for an additonal 24 hours.
- Rat articular chondrocytes were isolated from slices of rat articualar shoulder cartilage utilizing trypsin and collagenase digestions as described in Example 3. Preparations of chondrocyte "3 -dimensional" alginate bead cultures were established using established techniques as described by Guo et. al., (Conn. Tiss. Res. 19:277- 297, 1998). Following removal of cells from tissue culture flasks with trypsin, the cells were suspended in an alginate gel (1.2% w/v) and slowly expressed through a 22 gauge needle in a dropwise fashion into 102 mM CaCl 2 .
- NPAR agonist TP508 on chondrocyte cell proliferation after three days in 3 -dimensional alginate culture was determined by removing beads from 35 mm dishes, washing them with 0.9% saline, and dissolving the alginate beads by adding 1 ml of 55 mM sodium citrate, 0.15 M NaCl at 37° C for 10 minutes. Cell number was determined by diluting the 1 ml of dissolved beads 1:10 with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and counting the cells with a Z-series Coulter Counter. As shown in Table 6, TP508 by itself stimulated proliferation of chondrocytes in 3 dimensional culture.
- PBS phosphate buffered saline
- 3-dimensional alginate cultures were prepared as described above and assayed for incorporation of [ 35 S]-sulfate. Bead cultures were exposed to indicated concentrations of TP508 as well as [ 35 S]-sulfate (20 ⁇ Ci/ml) and with daily medium changes and were harvested on days 7 for [ 35 S]-sulfate incorporation. At each time point 5 -10 beads were removed, washed 3x with 0.9% ⁇ saline, dissolved by adding 0.5 ml of 55 mM sodium citrate, 0.15 M NaCl at 37 C for 10 minutes as described above, and counted in a liquid scintillation counter.
- a double emulsion technique was used to prepare microspheres of polylactic acid/polyglycolic acid copolymer (PLGA) containing TP508. Briefly, the matrix components were dissolved in methylene chloride and TP508 was dissolved in water. The two were gradually mixed together while vortexing to form a water-in- oil (W/O) emulsion. Polyvinyl alcohol (0.3% in water) was added to the emulsion with further vortexing to form the second emulsion (O/W), thereby forming a double emulsion: an O/W emulsion comprised of PLGA droplets, and within those droplets, a second disperse phase consisting of TP508 in water.
- W/O water-in- oil
- O/W second emulsion
- the PLGA droplets Upon phase separation, the PLGA droplets formed discrete microspheres containing cavities holding TP508. To cause phase separation of the microspheres, a 2% isopropyl alcohol solution was added. The particles were collected by centrifugation, and then lyophilized to remove residual moisture. The composition of the matrix was varied to form microspheres with different release kinetics (Table 8). Table 8. Composition of different microsphere formulations
- the mean diameter of the microspheres was measured in a Coulter counter and the drug entrapment efficiency was measured by spectrophotometric assay at 276 nm following dissolution of a weighed sample of microspheres in methylene chloride and extraction of the released drug into water (Table 9).
- TP508 release from the different PLGA matrices 20 mg of microspheres were placed in 1.0 ml of PBS contained in 1.5 ml polypropylene microcentrifuge tubes. Tubes were incubated at 37°C and shaken at 60 rpm. At various times, the tubes were centrifuged and the supernatant containing released TP508 was removed and frozen for subsequent analysis. Fresh PBS was added to the microspheres and incubation was continued. TP508 in the supernatant was measured by absorbance at 276 nm. For each formulation, quadruplicate release determinations were performed. Formulations B and D showed no detectable drug release during 28 days of incubation at 37°C.

- the rabbits were divided into three groups. For each rabbit, both right and left trochlear groove defects were filled with the same treatment.
- TP508 was formulated into PLGA controlled release microspheres, prepared as described in Example 6 (Formulation C). The microspheres were mixed with sufficient Pluronic F68 gel (5% w/v) to bind the spheres together into a paste-like consistency that could easily be packed into the defect.
- the control group received PLGA microspheres without TP508 in both defects.
- the treated groups received microspheres containing either 10 or 50 mg of TP508/defect.
- One rabbit from each group was sacrificed at 4 weeks, 2 from each group were sacrificed at 6 weeks and the remaining animals were sacrificed at 9 weeks.
- Peptide treated defects repaired with smooth articular surfaces and were typically well bonded at the junction between repair and native tissue.
- the quality of control repair tissue was characterized as mostly fibrocartilage with poor quality joint surfaces. Integration at the junction between repair and native tissue was usually poor.
- the quality of cartilage repaired with TP508 was significantly enhanced over control non-treated defects. This improved quality of repair tissue should lead to more durable and functional restoration of joint biomechanics and reduction in the incidence of osteoarthritis in patients suffering from traumatic cartilage injuries.
- ulnar osteotomies treated with microspheres containing the NPAR agonist TP508 showed evidence of bone mineralization and growth whereas in most control osteotomies that received osteoconductive microspheres, there was no bone growth and/or failure to fill the voided region.
- Mechanical testing for mechanical strength and stiffness confirmed sigmficant effects of TP508 on bone formation in this model. Because TP508 induced bone formation in sites where it did not occur without TP508, this discovery of osteoinduction is distinct from prior studies, in which TP508 accelerated the rate of normal fracture healing in fracture or small gap defects that would heal without TP508.
