Descrizione dell'invenzione industriale avente per titolo: Description of the industrial invention entitled:

"PROTEINA ESTRAIBILE DA FEGATO DI MAMMIFERI AD ATTIVITÀ' ANTITUMORALE" "EXTRACTABLE PROTEIN FROM MAMMALS LIVER WITH ANTI-TUMOR ACTIVITY"

La presente invenzione ha per oggetto una proteina di circa 90 kDa estraibile da fegato di mammiferi in condizioni non acide e capace di indurre anticorpi citossici verso cellule tumorali. The present invention relates to a protein of about 90 kDa extractable from mammalian liver under non-acidic conditions and capable of inducing cytoxic antibodies to tumor cells.

Proteine ad attività antitumorale estraibili con acidi forti da fegato di mammiferi, in particolare da fegato di capra, sono state descritte in WO92/10197 Proteins with strong acid extractable antitumor activity from mammalian liver, in particular from goat liver, have been described in WO92 / 10197

F., Botta, M., Ferrara, R., Bailo, M., Biancardi, C., Cavalca, V., Arzani, C., and Maraschin, R., (1994). Toxicological and anti-tumoral activity of UK101, a mammalian liver extract. J.Tumor Marker Oncol. 9, 49-56) che hanno dimostrato la loro capacità di indurre citotossicità mediata da anticorpi di tipo IgG e IgM verso linee cellulari tumorali. Anticorpi diretti contro la proteina UK114 sono in grado di legarsi ad antigeni espressi sulla superficie di cellule tumorali di specie diverse. F., Botta, M., Ferrara, R., Bailo, M., Biancardi, C., Cavalca, V., Arzani, C., and Maraschin, R., (1994). Toxicological and anti-tumoral activity of UK101, a mammalian liver extract. J.Tumor Marker Oncol. 9, 49-56) which have demonstrated their ability to induce cytotoxicity mediated by IgG and IgM antibodies to tumor cell lines. Antibodies directed against the UK114 protein are able to bind to antigens expressed on the surface of tumor cells of different species.

Prove immunocitochimiche e di citotossicità effettuate con le proteine acido solubili sopra citate hanno suggerito tuttavia la presenza di altri antigeni che potrebbero essere il bersaglio degli effetti citotossici riscontrati in vitro e in vivo . Immunocytochemical and cytotoxicity tests carried out with the acid-soluble proteins mentioned above, however, suggested the presence of other antigens that could be the target of the cytotoxic effects found in vitro and in vivo.

Si è ora trovato un antigene di circa 90 kDa in SDS-PAGE estraibile da fegato di mammiferi che è in grado di indurre, se somministrato a pazienti o animali portatori di tumori, una marcata risposta citotossica nei confronti di cellule tumorali . An antigen of about 90 kDa has now been found in SDS-PAGE extractable from mammalian liver which is able to induce, if administered to patients or animals carrying tumors, a marked cytotoxic response towards tumor cells.

La proteina dell’invenzione, indicata di seguito per brevità semplicemente come proteina 90 kDa, è ottenibile in particolare per estrazione del fegato di mammiferi con soluzioni tamponate a pH 7.4 (PBS) seguita da precipitazione con polietilenglicol 6000 al 15%, cromatografia su TSK-DEAE a pH 8, eluizione con NaCl 0.3M e purificazione su TSK SW3000. The protein of the invention, hereinafter referred to simply as 90 kDa protein, is obtainable in particular by extraction of mammalian liver with buffered solutions at pH 7.4 (PBS) followed by precipitation with 15% polyethylene glycol 6000, chromatography on TSK- DEAE at pH 8, elution with 0.3M NaCl and purification on TSK SW3000.

Il processo dell’estrazione e della purificazione della proteina dell’invenzione è illustrato nell’allegata figura. The process of extraction and purification of the protein of the invention is illustrated in the attached figure.

Preferibilmente, si utilizza fegato di capra ma si possono impiegare fegati di altri mammiferi (ad esempio di suini, bovini, equini o altri ovini) . Goat liver is preferably used but the livers of other mammals (for example pigs, cattle, horses or other sheep) can be used.

La proteina 90 kDa così ottenuta può essere impiegata nella immunoterapia di tumori, essendo in grado di indurre la formazione di anticorpi citotossici nei confronti di cellule di tumori umani, in particolare di carcinomi e adenocarcinomi. The 90 kDa protein thus obtained can be used in tumor immunotherapy, being able to induce the formation of cytotoxic antibodies against human tumor cells, in particular carcinomas and adenocarcinomas.

La citotossicità è qualificabile in vitro su cellule Jurkat e Kato III utilizzando metodi convenzionali, basati ad esempio all'uso di kit commerciali quali il kit CDCpK (Pharmaproduct). In particolare, si notava la comparsa di citotossicità nel siero di conigli già dopo un primo trattamento con proteina 90 kDA (1 mg/animale in soluzione fisiologica) su cellule Jurkat e Kato III. Cytotoxicity can be qualified in vitro on Jurkat and Kato III cells using conventional methods, based for example on the use of commercial kits such as the CDCpK (Pharmaproduct) kit. In particular, the appearance of cytotoxicity in the serum of rabbits was noted already after a first treatment with protein 90 kDA (1 mg / animal in physiological solution) on Jurkat and Kato III cells.

L’invenzione riguarda pertanto anche composizioni farmaceutiche contenenti come ingrediente attivo una dose efficace della proteina 90 kDa. The invention therefore also relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing an effective dose of the 90 kDa protein as an active ingredient.

Le composizioni dell’invenzione potranno essere somministrate utilizzando le vie di somministrazione convenzionali per proteine e polipeptidi, ad esempio la via sottocutanea o intramuscolare. Il trattamento può essere ripetuto ed è preferibile un trattamento che prevede somministrazioni distanziate di una-due settimane di dosi comprese tra 0.1 e 20 mg di proteina 90 kDA. The compositions of the invention can be administered using the conventional routes of administration for proteins and polypeptides, for example the subcutaneous or intramuscular route. The treatment can be repeated and a treatment involving one to two weeks spaced doses of doses ranging from 0.1 to 20 mg of 90 kDA protein is preferable.

Si è inoltre sorprendentemente trovato che è possibile indurre elevata citotossicità anche somministrando la proteina a dosaggi molto bassi, dell'ordine di 1.104 - 1.1010 g, per via sublinguale, sotto forma di granuli o gocce di soluzioni o sospensioni idroalcoliche all' 1 % di etanolo, con concentrazioni di principio attivo variabili da IO'6 a 10 10 M. It has also surprisingly been found that it is possible to induce high cytotoxicity even by administering the protein at very low dosages, of the order of 1.104 - 1.1010 g, sublingually, in the form of granules or drops of hydroalcoholic solutions or suspensions of 1% ethanol. , with concentrations of active principle ranging from 10'6 to 10 10M.

Il seguente esempio illustra l’invenzione in maggior dettaglio. _ The following example illustrates the invention in greater detail. _
