Definitions
- Cytokines are natural macromolecular cellular products which can enhance normal cell functions, including those of lymphocytes which, in turn, convey desirable properties termed "immune surveillance.”
- dysregulation of cytokines characterized by aberrancies in production and/or distribution in bodily tissues, can actually cause or aggravate various human diseases.
- This invention describes a facile way of biologically neutralizing the potential damaging effects of dysregulated cytokine and lymphokine states. By judicious use of certain dsRNAs in specific scheduled dosages, further organ damage is
- Cytokine and lymphokine produced by, or targeted to, lymphocytes
- lymphocytes dysfunctions are being progressively linked to serious human diseases.
- No effective remedies have been proposed until those I dislcose herein.
- Even though needed in normal function of bodily cells e.g., bone marrow, immune system, joint function, pulmonary function, etc.
- aberrancies in cytokine production are associated with disease acceleration and morbidity.
- production can consist of: (a) inappropriate production by cells not normally producing certain cytokines, (b)
- TNF Tumor Necrosis Factor
- macrophage/monocyte derived immune mediator which has been implicated in septic shock, cachexia, graft vs. host
- vascular disease and neoplastic diseases vascular disease and neoplastic diseases. Specifically, elevated levels are associated with a poor clinical outcome.
- TNF can also stimulate cells to produce other
- cytotoxic factors which can in turn cause additional cell inflammation, or cell death, even in brain cells (certain cells called oligodendrocytes).
- Interleukins may promote TNF production, such that diseased human hosts often exist in a milieu of not one, but a group, of aberrant (as defined above)
- lymphokines induced through a type of biological cascade effect.
- the therapeutic goals which are the subjects of the present invention, are to biologically neutralize, or convey various levels of control, over a range of aberrant lymphokines which may co-exist in the same individual.
- TNF levels are increased in persons with malignancies above the upper limit of normal which, in children, is approximately 40 nanograms per liter (Saarinen et al,
- IL-1 beta levels are elevated in infants with severe perinatal complications (280 ⁇ 116 picograms per ml; Miller et al, Journal of Pediatrics, 1990, vol. 117, pp 961-965). These studies indicate IL-1, IL-6 and TNF in spinal cord plasma relate to clinical complications in the perinatal period. Concentrations of IL-1 are also related to severity of malaria; see
- TNF production is a normal response to malaria infection, but excessive levels of production predispose the patient to cerebral malaria and a fatal outcome.
- 2'-5' oligoadenylate pathway namely the 2'-5' oligoadenylate pathway (sometimes called the 2'-5'-oligoaldenylate system or 2-5 OAS for short).
- This pathway can be tested in different cell types which, in turn, may be fractionated by different methods such as 2 or 3 color flow cytometry, gradient centrifugation, etc. Specific derangements may
- NK natural killer cells
- B cells involved in antibody production
- CT cytotoxic T cells
- ADCC antibody-dependent cytotoxic cells
- systemic lupus have typically measurable interferonemia (greater than 6 IU by bio assay per ml or equal or greater than 1 IU by RIA).
- interferonemia greater than 6 IU by bio assay per ml or equal or greater than 1 IU by RIA.
- an interferon-specific antibody When patients develop, by contrast, an interferon-specific antibody they may have inactive
- One objective of my invention is to develop the functional or operational equivalent of an antibody, i.e., to "fine tune" the level of extracellular cytokines to those which are relatively non-toxic to the host and may be medically beneficial.
- the dsRNA used in the procedures described herein may be a complex of a polyinosinate and a polycytidylate containing a proportion of uracil bases or guanidine bases, e.g., from 1 in 5 to 1 in 30 such bases (poly I ⁇
- the dsRNA may be of the general formula
- dsRNA examples of dsRNA are discussed below.
- mismatched dsRNA are meant those in which
- mismatched dsRNAs preferred for use in the present invention are based on copolynucleotides selected from poly (C n ,U) and poly (C n ,G) in which n is an integer having a value of from 4 to 29 and are mismatched analogs of
- the dsRNA may be derived from poly(I) ⁇ poly(C) dsRNA by modifying the ribosyl backbone of polyriboinosinic acid (rl n ), e.g., by including 2'-O-methyl ribosyl residues.
- the mismatched complexes may be
- RNA-stabilizing polymer such as lysine and cellulose.
- rl n ⁇ (C 11-14' U) n or rI n ⁇ r(C 29' G) n , are described bv Carter and Ts'o in U.S. Patents 4,130,641 and 4,024,222.
- the dsRNAs described therein generally are suitable for use according to the present invention. The preferred
- mismatched dsRNA is rl n ⁇ (C 11-14 ,U) n or AMPLIGEN® of HEM
- mismatched dsRNA for use in the invention include: - poly (I) ⁇ poly (C 4 ,U)
- dsRNAs suited to the practice of this invention are short dsRNAs of defined structure, for example oligonucleotides of the formula:
- A is a nucleotide which is not I
- U is a nucleotide which base pairs with A.
- the short oligonucleotide may have the structure:
- oligonucleotides may have substitutions in one strand not complementary to nucleotides in the opposite strand.
- these oligonucleotides are stabilized by internal registers of complementary heteropolymer and desirably the lock or hinge or both contain regions of complementary heteropolymer.
- These oligonucleotides desirably have single-stranded tails.
- ILs, TNF- ⁇ and IFNS are immuno regulatory proteins but their dysregulation actually causes tissue pathology.
- IL-1 and TNF share activities including pyrogenicity, activation of T cells, and neutrophil activation. High levels are found in patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory diseases.
- dsRNA in certain levels and given in certain schedules, had a novel and unexpected ability to biologically neutralize certain lymphokine actions associated with host morbidity.
- lymphokine activated intracellular biochemical pathway (2'-5 oligo adenylate synthetase) which has as its terminal mediator the protein RNase L.
- the 2'-5'-oligoadenylate/RNase L pathway is illustrated in Fig. 2 of my European application 0285 263 A3 and was assessed using the procedures described in Carter et al The Lancet, 1286-1292 (June 6, 1987).
- elevation is defined as greater than 100, normal in the range of 60 to
- Figure 1 shows a giant cell/HHV-6 assay in which peripheral blood cells from several patients
- peripheral blood the individuals suffered more in terms of cerebral function, suggesting that the aberrant cytokine production was localizing their effects to the central areas (brain) more than the molecules were damaging peripheral body tissues in these particular individuals.
- HHV-6 human herpes virus
- cytokines from human blood cells, including cytokines designated TNF and IL-1, in amounts comparable to those which I discovered dsRNA would biologically neutralize in animals or man.
- panel A Two panels were analyzed for cytokine derangement.
- panel A was analyzed for IL-1-beta protein release after HHV-6 infection of human cells.
- TCID 50 /ml lymphokine/cytokine level
