Abstract
A modified human acid alpha-glucosidase polypeptide having increased hydrophobicity at or near the N- terminal 70 kDa processing site is provided, as well as methods of making and using the modified human acid alpha-glucosidase to treat glycogen storage disorders.
Description
MODIFIED ACID ALPHA GLUCOSIDASE WITH ACCELERATED PROCESSING [001] This application daims the benefit of priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/478,336, filed April 22, 2011, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[002] This disclosure relates in general to modified human acid alphaglucosidase and its use in treating glycogen storage diseases.
[003] Pompe disease, also known as glycogen storage disease (GSD) type II and acid maltase deficiency, is an autosomal récessive metabolic myopathy caused by a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme acid alphaglucosidase (GAA). GAA is an exo-1,4 and 1,6-a-glucosidase that hydrolyzes glycogen to glucose in the lysosome. Deficiency of GAA leads to glycogen accumulation in lysosomes and causes progressive damage to respiratory, cardiac, and skeletal muscle. The disease ranges from a rapidly progressive infantile course that is usually fatal by 1-2 years of âge to a more slowly progressive and heterogeneous course that causes signifîcant morbidity and early mortality in children and adults. Hirschhorn RR, The Metabolic and Molecular Bases oflnherited Disease, 3: 3389-3420 (2001, McGraw-Hill); Van derPloeg and Reuser, Lancet 372: 1342-1351 (2008), [004] The steps involved in the biosynthesis, targeting, and lysosomal processing of GAA are complex. The primary translation product of human GAA is a 952 amino acid polypeptide containing seven consensus Nglycosylation sites. Moreland et al., J. Biol. Chem. 280: 6780-6791 (2005). The /V-glycans on GAA include complex and high-mannose type glycans, some of which are modified by mannose 6-phosphate. GAA is targeted to the lysosome via the cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor. In the lysosome, the enzyme undergoes further processing by proteases and glycosidases, resulting in a mature peptide capable of increased glycogen clearance.
[005] Figure 1 shows a schematic of the GAA processing pathway. Moreland et al., 2005. Typically, GAA undergoes up to four cleavage events during processing. First, the primary GAA translation product is cleaved at around amino acid 57 to form a precursor with an apparent molecular weight of 100 to 110-kDa. Next, the 100 to 110-kDa precursor is cleaved around amino acids 113 and 122 to form a 3.9-kDa (aa 78-113) and a 95-kDa (aa 122-952) portion. The 95-kDa polypeptide may then be cleaved around amino acids 781 and 792 to yield 76-kDa (aa 122-781) and 19.4-kDa (aa 792952) fragments. The 76-kDa species remains associated with the 19.4- and 3.9-kDa polypeptides. An additional proteolytic cleavage converts the 76-kDa to a 70-kDa (aa 204-781) species that remains associated with 19.4-, 10.4-, and 3.9-kDa polypeptides.
[006] Current human therapy for treating Pompe disease involves administration of recombinant human GAA (e.g., MYOZYME™). Although recombinant human GAA effectively reduces glycogen accumulation in patients, it is not fully processed to the 70-kDa form upon administration. Because the affinity of GAA for glycogen may significantly increase as a resuit of protease processing (Moreland et al., 2005; Wisselaar et al., J. Biol. Chem. 268: 2223-2231 (1993)), increasing the rate of recombinant human GAA processing could allow for improved therapeutic efficacy of GAA, including lower doses and/or less frequent administration of GAA therapy.
AL [007] Accordingly, we herein describe modified GAA polypeptides that are processed more rapidly than unmodified human GAA.
[008] Certain embodiments include a human acid alpha-glucosidase or a catalytically-active fragment thereof having a modification at or near an Nterminal 70-kDa processing site. In some embodiments, a polypeptide is provided comprising a human acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA) or a catalyticallyactive fragment thereof having a modification at or near an N-terminal 70-kDa processing site. The catalytically-active fragment may be chosen from a 70kDa, 76-kDa, 82-kDa, 95-kDa or any other catalytically-active fragment. In certain embodiments, the polypeptide further comprises a receptor targeting sequence. In some embodiments, the receptor targeting sequence is an IGF2 sequence.
[009] In certain instances, the modification results in increased hydrophobicity at or near an N-terminal 70-kDa processing site. In some instances, the polypeptide is modified at one or more amino acids corresponding to positions 195-209 of SEQ ID NO: 1. In further embodiments, the modification is at one or more amino acids corresponding to amino acid positions 200-204 of SEQ ID NO: 1. In certain embodiments, the modification is at the amino acid corresponding to position 201 of SEQ ID NO: 1. In further embodiments, the modification is substitution of one or more amino acids with a more hydrophobie amino acid. In other embodiments, the modification is insertion of one or more hydrophobie amino acids. In even further embodiments, the hydrophobie amino acid is chosen from leucine and tyrosine.
L [010] In certain embodiments, the polypeptide has at least 80% identity to at least 500 amino acids of SEQ ID NO: 1. In some instances, the polypeptide has at least 90% identity to at least 500 amino acids of SEQ ID NO: 1. In other instances, the polypeptide has at least 95% identity to at least 500 amino acids of SEQ ID NO: 1.
[011] In certain embodiments, the polypeptide exhibits more rapid lysosomal protease processing when compared to an unmodified human acid alpha-glucosidase. In some embodiments, at least 50% of the polypeptide is proteolytically processed to a 70-kDa form within 20 hours of administration. In other embodiments, substantially ail the polypeptide is proteolytically processed to a 70-kDa form within 55 hours of administration.
[012] Some embodiments include polypeptides conjugated to an oligosaccharide comprising at least one mannose-6-phosphate.
[013] In certain embodiments, a nucleic acid is provided encoding a modified GAA polypeptide. In further embodiments, a host cell stably transfected with the nucleic acid is provided. In further embodiments, the host cell is capable of secreting modified GAA.
[014] In certain embodiments, a method of reducing or preventing glycogen accumulation in a tissue is provided, comprising administering an effective amount of a polypeptide as described herein to a patient in need thereof. In further embodiments, the patient has a glycogen storage disease. In still further embodiments, the glycogen storage disease is Pompe disease.
[015] In other embodiments, a method is provided for treating a glycogen storage disease, comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a modified GAA to a patient in need thereof. In further
0L16639 embodiments, the glycogen storage disease is Pompe disease. In other embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition is provided, comprising a modified GAA as described herein for use in treating a glycogen storage disease. In some embodiments, the polypeptide is lyophilized.

The term “modified GAA” includes full-length GAA polypeptides that contain signal sequences, as well as partially-processed GAA polypeptides as secreted from cells.
[026] As used herein, the singular forms “a, “an, and “the include plural référants unless the content clearly dictâtes otherwise. Thus, for example, référencé to a method containing “a compound includes a mixture of two or more compounds. The term “or is generally employed in its sense including “and/or” unless the content clearly dictâtes otherwise.
[027] Throughout the spécification, protein and polypeptide sizes are provided in “kDa” units. One of skill in the art will recognize that these sizes ara based on apparent molecular weight of polypeptides in electrophoresis assays such as SDS-PAGE (see, e.g., Moreland et al., 2005). Exact molecular weights will dépend on glycosylation state and other parameters such as association with other polypeptides, and can be determined by various methods that are well-known to those of skill in the art.
[028] Ail référencés cited herein are incorporated by référencé in their entirety. To the extent publications and patents or patent applications incorporated by référencé contradict the invention contained in the spécification, the spécification will supersede any contradictory material.
I. Acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA) [029] As described above, GAA is a lysosomal enzyme învolved in clearance of glycogen. The term GAA encompasses both full-length, wildtype forms of the protein, as well as other catalytically-active variants. Catalytically-active GAA and GAA variants will at least retain catalytic activity toward glycogen. Numerous variants of native human GAA are known to those of skill in the art, including those that hâve been truncated, fused or conjugated to other polypeptides, altered in their amino acid sequences, or altered recombinantly or chemically. For instance, it is known that at least 77 N-terminal amino acids can be removed from native human GAA (SEQ ID NO: 1) without losing activity. Moreland et al., 2005. In addition, conjugates and fusion proteins hâve been described. In some embodiments, a GAA or catalytically-active fragment of GAA can be conjugated or fused to a receptor targeting sequence. In some instances, the receptor targeting sequence can be recognized by a cellular receptor. For example, a truncated GAA may be fused to an IGF2 domain as described in U.S. Patent 7,785,856, which is incorporated by référencé in its entirety. GAA has also been altered to add synthetic moieties, carbohydrate moieties and/or increased levels of mannose-6-phosphate. For example, lysosomal enzymes with modified 't C carbohydrate moieties containing increased levels of mannose-6-phosphate are described in U.S. Patent 7,001,994; 7,723,296; 7,786,277; U.S. Patent
Publication 2010/0173385; and PCT Publication 2010/075010, which are incorporated by reference in their entirety.
[030] In certain embodiments, the GAAs described herein hâve at least 80%, 90%, 95%, or 99% identity to a human GAA or GAA variant. In some instances, the GAA has at least 80%, 90%, 95%, or 99% identity to at least 500, 550, 600, 650, 700, 750, 800, 850, or 900 amino acids of SEQ ID NO: 1.
[031] Any of the catalytically-active human GAAs described in this section can be used as the base sequence for a modified GAA described herein. One of skill in the art will recognize which GAA variants are suitable for use in the invention. Where a base GAA sequence has a different length or glycosylation pattern compared to native human GAA, the processed polypeptides will hâve sizes that vary accordingly.
II. Modified GAA [032] In various embodiments, a polypeptide comprising a modified human GAA is provided that is modified at or near the N-terminal 70-kDa processing site. The région “near the N-terminal 70-kDa processing site includes up to 5 amino acids upstream or downstream of the N-terminal 70kDa processing site. In certain embodiments, the région at or near the Nterminal 70-kDa processing site includes the amino acids corresponding to positions 195-209 of SEQ ID NO: 1.
[033] The modified GAAs described herein are processed more rapidly than unmodified GAA. In certain embodiments, the modified GAA has
1Λ16639 increased hydrophobicity at or near the N-terminal 70-kDa processing site. In some embodiments, the modified GAA has a faster rate of proteolytic processing to a 70-kDa mature form. In some embodiments, and depending on the starting sequence, the modified GAA is processed to a variant of the 70-kDa mature form. The modified GAA may be processed such that the mature polypeptide remains associated with additional polypeptide fragments. In certain embodiments, the modified GAA is processed via the same pathway as unmodified GAA. In other embodiments, the modified GAA is processed via different intermediates compared to unmodified GAA. For example, a modified full-length GAA may be processed via 76-kDa or 82-kDa intermediates, or both. The modified GAA may be recognized by the same proteases as unmodified GAA, and processed in the same or a different order.
[034] In certain embodiments, GAA is modified to increase its hydrophobicity at or near the N-terminal 70-kDa processing site by substituting at least one amino acid with a more hydrophobie amino acid. In some embodiments, the substitution may be made within 5 amino acids upstream or downstream ofthe N-terminal 70-kDa processing site. In certain examples, the amino acid substitution may be made at an amino acid corresponding to position 195 to 209 of SEQ ID NO: 1. In other instances, the amino acid substitution may be made at an amino acid corresponding to position 200 to 204 of SEQ ID NO: 1. In further embodiments, the modified human GAA contains a hydrophobie amino acid at the position corresponding to amino acid position 201 of SEQ ID NO: 1. In some embodiments, GAA is modified by inserting one or more hydrophobie amino acids at or near the N16639 terminal 70-kDa processing site. Additional modifications include délétion of one or more amino acids at or near the N-terminal 70-kDa processing site.
[035] In certain embodiments, a modified human GAA is provided containing a hydrophobie amino acid (natural or synthetic) at more than one position at the N-terminal 70-kDa processing site, or within 5 amino acids of the N-terminal 70-kDa processing site. In one embodiment, one of the modified amino acids is at the position corresponding to amino acid 201 of SEQ ID NO: 1.
[036] In various embodiments the hydrophobie amino acid is chosen from valine, leucine, isoleucine, méthionine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, tyrosine, cysteine or alanine. In further embodiments, the hydrophobie amino acid is leucine or tyrosine. In some embodiments, the modified human GAA contains a synthetic or non-natural amino acid that exhibits hydrophobie properties. Generally, the substituted amino acid is more hydrophobie than the wild-type amino acid, and thus increases the hydrophobicity at or near the N-terminal 70kDa processing site.
[037] In one exemplary embodiment, the modified GAA has a leucine at the position corresponding to amino acid 201 of SEQ ID NO: 1. In another embodiment, the modified GAA has a tyrosine at the position corresponding to amino acid 201 of SEQ ID NO: 1.
[038] In certain embodiments, modified human GAAs are provided having at least 80%, 90%, 95%, or 99% homology to at least 500, 550, 600, 650, 700, 750, 800, 850, or 900 amino acids of SEQ ID NO: 1, and wherein the modified human GAA has at least one amino acid in the N-terminal 70kDa processing site substituted with a more hydrophobie amino acid.
hL' [039] In some embodiments, at least 50% of the modified human GAA is processed to a 70-kDa form in the lysosome within 20, 30, or 40 hours. In still further embodiments, substantially ail of the modified human GAA is processed to a 70-kDa form in the lysosome within 55, 65, or 75 hours.
[040] In certain embodiments, a modified human GAA of the invention can be identifîed by its more rapid proteolytic processing to a mature 70-kDa form, or a corresponding variant thereof. In other embodiments, a modified human GAA as described herein can be identifîed by the production of an 82kDa intermediate polypeptide that is not produced during proteolytic processing of native human GAA. In further embodiments, a modified human GAA can be identifîed by the absence of a 76-kDa intermediate polypeptide that is produced during proteolytic processing of unmodified human GAA.
III. Production of Modified GAA [041] In various embodiments, a modified GAA polypeptide can be produced according to methods known to one of skill in the art. For example, a modified GAA polypeptide can be expressed and secreted from cell lines stably transfected with nucleic acids encoding modified GAA. Suitable cell lines include fibroblast cells, Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells, 293T cells, or plant cells, among others recognized by those of skill in the art. Exemplary cell lines and production methods are described in U.S. Patent Nos. 7,351,410 and 7,138,262; and U.S. Patent Publication No. 2010/0196345, which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. In certain embodiments, a nucleic acid encoding a modified GAA is inserted in a plasmid or vector containing the appropriate promoters and regulatory i?i L·16639 sequences for expression from a cell line. Promoters useful for producing modified GAA in mammalian cell lines include the rpS21 and beta-actin promoters (see, e.g., U.S. Patent No. 7,423,135), among many others recognized by those of skill in the art. In certain embodiments, modified GAA is further altered to increase or decrease levels of glycosylation or mannose 6phosphate, thereby enhancing sécrétion and/or lysosomal targeting.
IV. Pharmaceutical Compositions [042] In certain embodiments, the modified GAA is présent in a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one additive such as a filler, bulking agent, disintegrant, buffer, stabilizer, or excipient Standard pharmaceutical formulation techniques are well known to persons skilled in the art (see, e.g., 2005 Physiciens’ Desk Reference®, Thomson Healthcare: Montvale, NJ, 2004; Remington: The Science and Practice ofPharmacy, 20th ed., Gennado et al., Eds. Lippincott Williams & Wilkins: Philadelphia, PA, 2000).

[044] The formulation of pharmaceutical compositions may vary depending on the intended route of administrations and other parameters (see, e.g., Rowe et al., Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients, 4th ed., APhA Publications, 2003.) In some embodiments, the modified GAA composition may be a lyophilized cake or powder. The lyophilized composition may be reconstituted for administration by intravenous injection, for example with Stérile Water for Injection, USP. In other embodiments, the composition may be a stérile, non-pyrogenic solution.

In some embodiments, the composition may comprise miglustat and/or one or more compounds described in, e.g., U.S. Patent Application Publication Nos. 2003/0050299, 2003/0153768; 2005/0222244; or 2005/0267094. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition may also comprise one or more immunosuppressants, mTOR inhibitors or autophagy inhibitors. Examples of immunosuppressants include rapamycin and velcade. Rapamycin is also an mTOR inhibitor.
V. Therapeutic Methods [046] In some embodiments, a modified human GAA is used to reduce or prevent glycogen accumulation in a tissue of a patient. In other embodiments, modified human GAA is used to treat a glycogen storage disease. In further embodiments, the glycogen storage disease is Pompe disease. In exemplary embodiments, the modified GAA is subsequently processed into mature GAA in the lysosome after administration to the patient.
[047] The modified GAA described herein may be administered by any suitable delivery system and may include, without limitation, parentéral (including subcutaneous, intravenous, intracranial, intramedullary, intraarticular, intramuscular, intrathecal, or intraperitoneal injection), transdermal, or oral (for example, in capsules, suspensions, or tablets). In one embodiment, the modified GAA is delivered by intravenous administration.
[048] In additional embodiments, a nucleic acid encoding a modified GAA can be delivered to the patient. The nucleic acid may be delivered using a vector suitable for gene therapy. Examples of gene therapy methods are described in, e.g., U.S. Patent Nos. 5,952,516; 6,066,626; 6,071,890; and 6,287,857.
[049] Administration to a patient may occur in a single dose or in repeat administrations, and in any of a variety of physiologically acceptable sait forms, and/or with an acceptable pharmaceutical carrier and/or additive as part of a pharmaceutical composition.
[050] The modified GAA compositions described herein are administered in therapeutically effective amounts. Generally, a therapeutically liL· effective amount may vary with the subject's âge, general condition, and gender, as well as the severity of the medical condition in the subject The dosage may be determined by a physician and adjusted, as necessary, to suit observed effects of the treatment.
[051] The modified GAAs described herein may be administered by intravenous infusion in an outpatient setting every, e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more days, or by, e.g., weekly, biweekly, monthly, or bimonthly administration. The appropriate therapeutically effective dose of a compound is selected by a treating clinician and may range from approximately 1 pg/kg to approximately 500 mg/kg, from approximately 10 mg/kg to approximately 100 mg/kg, from approximately 20 mg/kg to approximately 100 mg/kg and from approximately 20 mg/kg to approximately 50 mg/kg. In some embodiments, the appropriate therapeutic dose is chosen from, e.g., 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, and 100 mg/kg. Additionally, examples of spécifie dosages may be found in the Physiciens’ Desk Reference®.
[052] In some embodiments, the methods comprise administering modified human GAA, thereby increasing the glycogen clearance in the subject by, e.g., at least 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, or 100%, relative to endogenous activity. In some embodiments, the methods comprise administering modified human GAA, thereby increasing glycogen clearance in the subject by, e.g., at least 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 100, or 1000 fold, relative to endogenous activity. The increased glycogen clearance may be determined by, e.g., a ? c réduction in clinical symptoms or by an appropriate clinical or biological assay such as a lysosome glycogen storage assay.
[053] In certain embodiments, increased glycogen clearance after treatment of a patient with a pharmaceutical composition comprising modified human GAA may be determined by biochemical (see, e.g., Zhu et al., J. Biol. Chem. 279: 50336-50341 (2004)) or histological observation of reduced lysosomal glycogen accumulation in, e.g., cardiac myocytes, skeletal myocytes, or skin fibroblasts. GAA activity may also be assayed in, e.g., a muscle biopsy sample, in cultured skin fibroblasts, in lymphocytes, and in dried blood spots. Dried blood spot assays are described in e.g., Umpathysivam et al., Clin. Chem. 47:1378-1383 (2001) and Li et al., Clin. Chem. 50:1785-1796 (2004). Treatment of Pompe disease may also be assessed by, e.g., sérum levels of créatinine kinase, gains in motor function (e.g., as assessed by the Alberta Infant Motor Scale), changes in left ventricular mass index as measured by echocardiogram, and cardiac electrical activity, as measured by electrocardiogram. Administration of a pharmaceutical composition comprising modified human GAA may also resuit in a réduction in one or more symptoms of Pompe disease such as cardiomegaly, cardiomyopathy, daytime somnolescence, exertional dyspnea, failure to thrive, feeding difficulties, floppiness, gait abnormalities, headaches, hypotonia, organomegaly (e.g., enlargement of heart, tongue, liver), lordosis, loss of balance, lower back pain, morning headaches, muscle weakness, respiratory insufficiency, scapular winging, scoliosis, reduced deep tendon reflexes, sleep apnea, susceptibility to respiratory infections, and vomiting.
« <16639 [054] In certain embodiments, the methods comprise administering pharmaceutical compositions comprising modified human GAA with one or more additional thérapies. The one or more additional thérapies may be administered concurrently with (including concurrent administration as a combined formulation), before, or after the administration of the modified human GAA. In some instances, an additional therapy can be administered between doses of modified GAA. For example, small molécule therapy may be used to slow reaccumulation of glycogen, allowing for less frequent doses of the modified GAA.
[055] In some embodiments, the methods comprise treating a subject with an antipyretic, antihistamine, and/or immunosuppressant (before, after, or during treatment with a modified human GAA described supra). In certain embodiments, a subject may be treated with an antipyretic, antihistamine, and/or immunosuppressant prior to treatment with a modified human GAA in order to decrease or prevent infusion associated reactions. For example, subjects may be pretreated with one or more of acetaminophen, azathioprine, cyclophosphamide, cyclosporin A, diphenhydramine, methotrexate, mycophenolate mofetil, oral steroids, or rapamycin.
[056] In some embodiments, the methods comprise treating a subject (before, after, or during treatment with a modified human GAA) with small molécule therapy and/or gene therapy, including small molécule therapy and gene therapy directed toward treatment of a glycogen storage disorder. Small molécule therapy may comprise administration of miglustat and/or one or more compounds described in, e.g., U.S. Patent Application Pub. Nos. 2003/0050299, 2003/0153768; 2005/0222244; and 2005/0267094. Gene therapy may be performed as described in, e.g., U.S. Patent Nos. 5,952,516;

1? L
C. SDS-Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis [060] Reduced and non-reduced samples and molecular weight markers (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech) were applied to a 4-20% or 10% Tris-Glycine SDS-PAGE gel. Electrophoresis was performed at 150 volts for 1.5 hours and proteins were visualized with either Coomassie blue or silver stain. Blum et al., Electrophoresis 93-99 (1987).
D. Isolation of recombinant and placental GAA [061] The production and purification of recombinant and human placental GAA was as previously described. Martiniuk et al., Archives of Biochem. and Biophys. 231:454-460 (1984); Mutsaers et al., Biochimica et Biophysica Acta 911: 244-251 (1987); Moreland et al., (2005).
E. Antibodies and Western blot analysis [062] As previously described (Moreland et al., 2005), rabbits were immunized with synthesized peptides coupled to KLH. The sequence for each peptide was as follows: anti-GAA 57-74 (QQGASRPGPRDAQAHPGR (SEQ ID NO: 2)), anti-GAA 78-94 (VPTQCDVPPNSRFDCA (SEQ ID NO: 3)), and anti-GAA 183-200 (IKDPANRRYEVPLETPRV (SEQ ID NO: 4)). Goat polyclonal antibody was generated against purified human placental GAA. Monoclonal antibody GAA1 was previously described. Moreland et al., 2005, Western blots were performed as previously described. Moreland et al., 2005.
F. Fîbroblast uptake of rhGAA [063] For each time point, approximately 5 x 105 Pompe fibroblasts in DMEM plus 10% FBS were incubated with 250 nM rhGAA(WT) or rhGAA(H201 L). At 16 hours, the cells were washed and fresh media that did not contain GAA was added. At the designated time points, the cells were
L removed and washed 5 times with phosphate buffered saline and stored at 80°C. After the final time point, ail cell pellets were thawed and lysed simultaneously with 0.25% Triton. Cellular débris was pelleted and western blot analysis was performed on supernatants from each time point with antiGAA antibodies.
G. Préparation of Expression Constructs and Transient Transfections [064] Expression plasmids for recombinant GAA with and without amino acid substitution or délétions were made in pcDNA6 (Invitrogen), using standard procedures. Human kidney 293T cells were cultured in DMEM, supplemented with 10% FBS under 5% CO2at 37°C. Six micrograms of each plasmid were mixed with Fugene 6 transfection reagent (Roche) and added to 2.5 x 106 cells in a 10 cm dish. After 72 h the adhèrent cells were washed with PBS two times and lysed with PBS containing 0.25% Triton. The cellular débris was precipitated by centrifugation and the supernatants were stored at -20°C.
H. Metabolie labeling and Immunoprécipitation [065] Stable CHO cell lines expressing rhGAA(WT) or rhGAA(H201 L) were created following the method described previously. Qiu et al., J. Biol. Chem. 278: 32744-32752 (2003). Approximately 5 x 106 cells in a 10 cm dish were incubated in DMEM lacking méthionine and cysteine for 30 min. The cells were pulse-labeled for 2 h with 150 pCi/ml (1175 Ci/mmol Tran35S Label) in DMEM déficient in méthionine and cysteine. After the cells were washed with DMEM two times and the 0 h time point was taken, the cells were then incubated in DMEM without label at 37°C. At each time point, the cells were fit washed two times with PBS. The dishes were stored at -20°C. After the final time point, the cells were lysed with PBS containing 0.25% Triton (PBST).
The cellular débris was removed by centrifugation and 60 pl of a 50% slurry of Concanavalin A Sepharose was added to the supernatant. After 2 hr incubation, the beads were washed 3 times with PBST. The labeled GAA was eluted with PBS containing 0.5 M α-methylglucoside. The GAA présent in the eluent was then immunoprecipitated with affinity purified goat anti-GAA coupled to NHS-Sepharose. The immunoprecipitate was washed 3 times with PBST and 40 μΙ of 2x SDS sample buffer containing β-mercaptoethanol was added to the beads. The samples were boiled prior to western blot analysis.
I. Abbreviations [066] As used herein, “rhGAA means recombinant human acid aglucosidase. “CHO” means Chinese hamster ovary. “MSX” means méthionine sulfoximine. “ERT means enzyme replacement therapy.
[067] As used herein, “GAA (H201 R)” means a modified GAA having an amino acid substitution at position 201 from histidine to arginine. “GAA (H201 L)” means a modified GAA having an amino acid substitution at position 201 from histidine to leucine. “GAA (H201Y) means a modified GAA having an amino acid substitution at position 201 from histidine to tyrosine. “GAA (H201 K)” means a modified GAA having an amino acid substitution at position 201 from histidine to lysine.
Example 2: Comparison of human, bovine and hamster GAA [068] When GAA purified from placenta was examined by SDS-PAGE, two bands corresponding to polypeptides of 76- and 70-kDa were approximately in equal abundance (Fig. 2). Likewise, rhGAA over-expressed 'U in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and purified from cell lysâtes has previously demonstrated 76- and 70-kDa bands. Moreland et al., 2005. By contrast, hamster GAA purified from CHO cells exists exclusively as the 70kDa polypeptide. To détermine if the prédominance of the 70-kDa form was unique to hamster, bovine testis GAA was purified and characterized by reduced silver stained SDS-PAGE (4-20% acrylamide), and also shown to contain only the 70-kDa polypeptide (Fig. 2).
Example 3: The amino acid at position 201 of GAA affects the efficiency of conversion from the 76- to 70-kDa form and détermines the order of proteolytic cleavages [069] Alignment of mammalian GAA sequences at the proteolytic site between amino acids 197 and 206 (Fig. 3A) demonstrates that the retained sequences are highly conserved but that the excised sequences exhibit some variation. Human GAA contains a histidine at position 201 while hamster and bovine GAA hâve the hydrophobie residues leucîne and tyrosine, respectively. To détermine if these amino acid substitutions are responsible for speciesspecific différences in processing, GAA expression plasmids were constructed in which amino acid 201 was varied. The histidine was substituted with leucîne (H201L), tyrosine (H201Y), arginine (H201R) or lysine (H201K). Human embryonic kidney cells (293T) were transfected with each construct followed by western blot analysis with a monoclonal antibody to GAA.
Western blot analysis of the cell lysâtes indicated that when amino acid 201 in GAA was substituted with leucine or tyrosine, conversion from the 76- to 70kDa form was dramatically more efficient compared to wild type (Fig. 3B, lanes 2-7). The hydrophobie amino acid substitution appeared to cause the ύί formation of a new ~82-kDa intermediate, as indicated by the asterisk (Fig.
3B). In the vector only control (Fig. 3, lane 8), nine times more cell lysate was loaded to visualize the endogenous GAA compared to the lysâtes from the transiently transfected 293T cells.
[070] To characterize the rate of processing of wild type GAA compared to GAA(H201 L), a puise chase experiment was performed. Stable CHO cell lines expressing each GAA were radio-labeled for 2 hours with Tran35S and chased for the times indicated with media that did not contain label (Fig. 4). rhGAA was purified from cell lysâtes by Con A followed by immunoprécipitation as described in Example 1. Time 0 hr was after the 2 hr puise. At the 55 hour time point, GAA(H201 L) was completely processed to the 70-kDa form, while very little of the wild type GAA was processed to the 70-kDa form after 120 hours. A 95-kDa species was observed in cells expressing the wild type GAA but was absent in the H201 L. The identity of the 95-kDa intermediate has been previously characterized (Moreland et al., 2005) and is depicted in Figure 1.
[071] To détermine if rhGAA(H201 L) undergoes accelerated processing in uptake studies, the secreted form of rhGAA(H201L) and rhGAA(WT) were purified from stable recombinant CHO cell lines. Uptake studies were performed in Pompe fibroblasts because they are déficient in GAA (Fig. 5). As described in Example 1, GAA déficient Pompe fibroblasts (GM00248) were incubated with 250 nM rhGAA (WT) and rhGAA (H201L). At the designated time points the fibroblasts were collected and frozen at -80°C. A reduced SDS-PAGE (7.5% acrylamide) western blot of the cell lysâtes was probed with a monoclonal antibody to human GAA (the unknown epitope of which lies within amino acids 204-782). After uptake of GAA, the 95-kDa and 76-kDa forms were prominent for rhGAA(WT) and not observed for rhGAA(H201L) (Fig. 5, lanes 5-13). The différence in processing was again accompanied by the appearance of an ~82-kDa intermediate with GAA(H201L).
[072] To characterize the ~82-kDa intermediate, a western blot containing purified rhGAA, placental GAA, and rhGAA(H201 L) was probed with an anti-GAA antibody that recognizes amino acids 183-200 (and thus binds the 10.4-kDa fragment released from fully processed GAA) (Fig. 6A). rhGAA, placental GAA, and mature rhGAA(H201 L) were purified as described in Example 1. The 76-kDa species from placenta still contained amino acids 183-200, as indicated by antibody binding. In contrast, the 82-kDa intermediate did not contain these amino acids, as indicated by the lack of antibody binding. This is because cleavage of the antibody récognition site had already taken place, as evidenced by the ~10-kDa band in lane 3. A separate monoclonal antibody to GAA demonstrated the presence of the 82kDa intermediate in the sample of rhGAA(H201L) (Fig. 6B).
[073] It can be concluded that the 82-kDa intermediate results from accelerated proteolysis at the cleavage site between amino acids 200 to 204. The cleavage takes place before the cleavage between amino acids 782 to 792. As shown in Fig. 6A, the 82-kDa polypeptide does not contain the -10kDa fragment from amino acids 122-200. These results suggest an alternative processing pathway for rhGAA(H201L) as shown in Fig. 7. Processing of wild type vs. GAA(H201 L) diverge after the 95-kDa intermediate. The wild type GAA is cleaved near the carboxyl terminus
U (between amino acids 781-792) to give the 76-kDa intermediate while
GAA(H201L) is cleaved between amino acids 200-204 to give the 82-kDa intermediate. Both pathways ultimately resuit in mature 70-kDa GAA.
