Definitions
- This application relates to nerve regeneration by the administration of growth factors.
- Growth factors are polypeptide hormones which stimulate a defined population of target cells.
- growth factors are platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) , insulin-like growth factors (IGF's) , transforming growth factors beta (TGF- ⁇ ) , and alpha (TGF- ⁇ ) , epidermal growth factor (EGF) , acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF) , basic FGF(bFGF) , and nerve growth factor (NGF) .
- PDGF platelet-derived growth factor
- IGF's insulin-like growth factors
- TGF- ⁇ transforming growth factors beta
- TGF- ⁇ alpha
- EGF epidermal growth factor
- aFGF acidic fibroblast growth factor
- NGF nerve growth factor
- IGF's or somatomedins, are polypeptides of about 7.5 KD that have a strong homology to human proinsulin (Hu bel, 1984 in Hormonal Proteins and Peptides 12:pp57- 79) . IGF-I and II share a 62% sequence homology. Their actions are mediated through two distinct receptors.
- the IGF-I receptor is named type-I receptor (IGF-IR)
- the IGF-II receptor is named type-II receptor (IGF-IIR) .
- the IGF-IR is a transmembrane protein structurally related to the insulin receptor (Ullrich et al, 1986 EMBO J. 5:2503- 2512) .
- the type-I receptor contains an extracellular binding domain consisting of two ⁇ -subunits and an intracellular tyrosine kinase domain consisting of two ⁇ -subunits.
- the type-I receptor has a high affinity for IGF-I and a lower affinity for IGF-II and insulin.
- the type II receptor is distinct from the IGF-I and insulin receptors (Morgan et al, 1987 Nature 329:301-307). It has a high affinity for IGF-II, a low affinity for IGF-I and it does not bind insulin. It is a transmembrane protein with a large extracellular binding domain and it does not seem to process tyrosine kinase activity.
- IGF-III a truncated form of IGF- I has been obtained from brain and was named IGF-III (Sara et al, 1986; Proc. Nat'l. Acad. Sci. : USA; 83:4904- 4907) .
- IGF-III is lacking the three amino-terminal amino acid residues of IGF-I, but it retains functional properties similar to those of IGF-I.
- IGF's exert diverse metabolic activities and they act as growth factors on a variety of cells including cells of mesenchymal origin (Froesch et al, 1985 Ann. Rev. Phvsiol. 47:443-467; Van Wyk, (1984) Hormonal proteins and peptides; 12: 81-125; Daugheday and Rotwein. Endocrine Rev. 1989; 10:68-91; Baxter et al (1985) Comp. Biochem. Phvsiol. 91 ⁇ :229-235; Baskin et al (1988) TINS 11:107-111) . IGF-I was also shown to be a potent inducer of oligodendrocyte development (McMorris et al, Proc.
- IGF-I and IGF-II have been reported in fetal and neonatal tissues including brain (Han et al, J. Clin. Endocrinol Metab. 1988; 66:422-426; Schofield and Tate, 1987; Development 101:793-803; D'Ercole and Underwood, Pediar. Pulmono1. 1985; 1:599-606; D'Ercole (1987) J. Devel. Phvsiol. 9:481-495; Bondy et al. (1990), Mol. Endocrinol. 4:1386- 1398) .
- IGF's have been suggested to act as neurotrophic factors in vitro (Aizenman et al, Brian Res. 1987; 406:32-42; Bothwell, J. Neurosci. Res. 1982; 8:225-231; Euopean Patent Application No. 86850417.6; Recio-pinto et al, J. Neurosci 1986; 6:1211-1219; Shemer et al, J. Biol Chem. 1987; 262:7693-7699) and in vivo (Hansson et al, Acta Phvsiol. Scand. 1986; 126:609-614; Anderson et al, Acta Phvsiol. Scand.
- PDGF-BB PDGF-BB homodimer
- PDGF-AA PDGF-AA homodimer
- PDGF-BB may stimulate Schwann cell proliferation in an autocrine manner during normal development.
- PDGF- ⁇ type receptors have also been reported on newborn rat brain neurons in vivo and in vitro. In vitro continuous PDGF-BB treatment of primary rat brain cell cultures resulted in outgrowth of neurites and prolonged survival (Smits et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.
- PDGF-A The mRNA for PDGF-A is found in cultured Type-I astrocytes and in perinatel rat brain (Richardson et al, Cell 1988; 53:309- 319) .
- Type-I astrocytes have been suggested to be a source of PDGF in the nervous system (Pring et al, EMBO J ⁇ 1988; 18:1049-1056).
- PDGF has also been implicated as a factor in the proliferation and differentiation of rat optic nerve 0-2A progenitor cells (Raff et al, Nature 1988; 333:560-562; Noble et al. Nature: 1988; 333:560- 562) .
- PDGF appears to have a role in the proliferation and development of glial cells in the central nervous system (reviewed in Raff M, Science 1989; 243:1450-1455).
- GAP's growth associated proteins
- Electrophysiologic changes occur in the cell body that indicate differentiation towards a more plastic or embryonic state permitting growth (Foehring et al, (1986) J. Neurophvsiol 55:947-965; Gorden et al, in Somotic and Autonomic Nerve-Muscle Interactions. Burnstock et al, (ed's) 1983) .
- the proximal axonal segment undergoes a variable degree of traumatic degeneration following nerve injury. This degenerative process extends at a minimum back to the next node of Ranvier, or maximally may result is cell death.
- cell death is not the sequela, the area of the first node of Ranvier proximal to the injury will give rise to the regenerating nerve sprout (Gordon et al, (eds) Neurology and Neurobioloqy. The current status of peripheral Nerve regeneration, pp. 79-88;1988). Formation of the growth cone, a specialized cell structure for mobility, is required at the tip of the regenerating nerve fiber.
- This structure facilitates passage of the neurofilament through tissue by releasing proteins which degrade the tissue matrix (Krystosek et al, (1981) Science 213:1532-1534). Growth cones can also respond to chemotrophic molecules such as NGF in vitro (Gundesen et al, (1980) J. Cell. Biol. 87:546-554). It appears that axons are capable of precise and specific selection of pathways and targets of innervation and that axonal growth is not a random process (Dodd et al, (1988) Science 242:692-699).
- a regenerating axon is required for differentiation of the Schwann cell and production of myelin for remyelination of the axon by the Schwann cell.
- the coordinate regrowth and differentiation of Schwann cells and neuronal elements is required for optimal restoration of the architecture and function of peripheral nerves.
- a number of agents have been reported to enhance nerve regeneration in vitro or in vivo (table 1) , including NGF, fibronectin, fibrin, laminin, acidic and basic fibroblast growth factors (aFGF and bFGF respectively) and IGF-I. It should be noted that only by in vivo evaluation can the effects of these factors on true regeneration of the nerve be evaluated.
- the regeneration chamber model (i.e. entubulation) has provided a valuable method for assessing potential nerve regenerative agents (Lundborg et al, (1979) Brain Res. 178:573-576; (Lundborg et al, (1980) J. Hand Surg. 5:35-38).
- the two ends of the damaged nerve are inserted and sutured into a pseudomesothelial- lined tube (e.g., of silicon) kept open by a stainless steel thread; the tube acts to "guide" the growth of the two ends of the nerve.
- This technique alone may have some therapeutic advantages over conventional nerve repair and nerve graft techniques (Seckel et al, (1986) Plast. Reconstr. Surg. 78:793-800).
- an appropriate nerve guide allows for the introduction of growth promoting factors into its lumen where these factors can act on the damaged nerve potentially to enhance regeneration. According to Sekel I990;ibid:
- the invention features a method of promoting growth of a mammalian nerve by contacting the nerve with purified PDGF.
- the PDGF is contacted with a nerve process, preferably of a peripheral nerve.
- growth refers, most preferably, to increase in length of a functional nerve process, e.g., an axon. Growth can also include inducement of proliferation of nerve cells or Schwann cells.
- PDGF is mixed with another factor, most preferably IGF-I, prior to administration or at the site of desired nerve growth.
- the second factor can also be another growth factor such as NGF, fibronectin, fibrin, laminin, acidic or basic FGF, EGF, a TGF, or another of the IGF's, i.e., IGF-II or IGF-III. (Active fragments or analogs of any of the active molecules which bind specifically to the appropriate receptors are included in the invention.)
- another growth factor such as NGF, fibronectin, fibrin, laminin, acidic or basic FGF, EGF, a TGF, or another of the IGF's, i.e., IGF-II or IGF-III.
- the synergistic action of PDGF and IGF-I can stimulate the in vivo regeneration of injured peripheral nerves.
- the effects of the combination of PDGF and IGF-I on nerve regeneration in vivo have been found to be superior to those induced by the administration of purified PDGF alone or purified IGF-I alone.
- the synergistic effects of the combination of PDGF and IGF-I stimulated about a 7.0 fold increase in the length of regenerated myelinated axons.
- the combination of PDGF and IGF aids the regeneration of the injured nerve, at least in part, by promoting both the directional regeneration of myelinated axons and the growth of the Schwann cells.
- Schwann cell proliferation is crucial for supporting axonal myelinated growth.
- the synergistic action of PDGF and IGF-I results in axonal growth, proliferation of Schwann cells, and myelin sheath formation, contributing to the formation of myelinated nerve growth.
- the regenerated nerve induced by the synergistic action of PDGF and IGF-I retains in vivo functional activity, as judged by the reflexes of lightly anesthetized animals in response to an induced fine pincett-pain test. Regeneration using the composition of the invention is more effective than that achieved in the absence of treatment (i.e. without administration of exogenous agents) or by treatment with purified PDGF alone or purified IGF-I alone.
- nerve process regenerating compositions are prepared by mixing PDGF and any other active components with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier substance, e.g. saline supplemented with albumin or methyl cellulose gel.
- a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier substance e.g. saline supplemented with albumin or methyl cellulose gel.
- purified PDGF and IGF-I are combined in a weight-to- weight ratio of between 1:500 and 100;1, preferably between 1:250 and 50:1 and more preferably between 1:100 and 25:1.
- the purified PDGF may be obtained from human platelets and the purified IGF-I from human blood, or both may be obtained by recombinant DNA technology.
- PDGF platelet and plasma derived and recombinant materials of mammalian, preferably primate origin; most preferably, the primate is a human, but can also be a chimpanzee or other primate.
- the terms “PDGF” and “IGF” include analogs which elicit biological activities by binding to the PDGF or IGF receptors, respectively.
- Recombinant PDGF can be recombinant heterodimer, made by inserting into culture prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells DNA sequences encoding both A and B subunits, and then allowing the translated subunits to be processed by the cells to form heterodimer.
- DNA encoding just one of the subunits can be inserted into cells, which then are cultured to produce homodimeric PDGF (PDGF-1 (AA) or PDGF-2 (BB) homodimer.
- PDGF-1 AA
- PDGF-2 BB
- purified refers to PDGF, IGF-I, or other factor which, prior to use or combination with the other, is 90% or greater, by weight, i.e., the component is substantially free of other proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates with which it is naturally associated.
- a purified protein preparation will generally yield a single major band on a polyacrylamide gel.
- the purified factors used in the compositions of the invention are pure as judged by amino-terminal amino acid sequence analysis.
- compositions of the invention provides a fast, effective method for the in vivo regeneration of injured nerves.
- the PDGF/IGF-I combination enhances the growth of nerves compared to natural healing (i.e. no exogenous agent added) or pure PDGF or IGF-I alone.
- the synergistic effect of the composition promotes about a 7.0 fold increase in new functional nerve regeneration.
- the Figure is a bar graph illustrating nerve regenerative effects of PDGF, alone or combined with IGF- I.
- Damaged or injured nerves are treated, and regenerated, with PDGF/IGF mixtures prepared by combining pure PDGF and IGF.
- Recombinant human IGF-I is available at the Institute of Molecular Biology, Inc. (Boston, MA) and is commercially available from R and D Systems, Inc., (Minneapolis, MN,), UBI (Lake Placid, NY), and Kabi (Sweden) .
- Purified human PDGF (recombinant PDGF-I and PDGF-2) are available at the Institute of Molecular Biology, Inc. (Boston, MA) , and are commercially available from R and D Systems, (Minneapolis, MN) , UBI (Lake Placid, NY) , and Genzyme Corporation (Boston, MA) .
- PDGF can also be made by recombinant DNA technology as follows: Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) derived from human platelets contains two polypeptide sequences (PDGF- 1(A) and PDGF-2(B) polypeptides; Antoniades, HN. , and Hunkapiller, M. (1983) Science 220:963-965). PDGF-1 is encoded by a gene localized in chromosome 7(Betsholtz, C, et al. Nature 320:695-699), and PDGF-2 is encoded by the sis oncogene (Doolittle, R.
- sis gene encodes the transforming protein of the Simian Sarcoma Virus (SSV) which is closely related to PDGF-2 polypeptide.
- SSV Simian Sarcoma Virus
- the human cellular c-sis also encodes the PDGF-2 chain (Johnsson et al (1984) EMBO J 3:2963; Rao, CD et al, (1986) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 83:2392-2396).
- human PDGF consists of a disulfide-linked heterodimer of PDGF-1 and PDGF-2, or a mixture of the two homodimers (homodimer of PDGF-1 and homodimer of PDGF-2) , or a mixture of the heterodimer and the two homodimers.
- Recombinant preparation of biologically active PDGF-1, PDGF-2 and PDGF-l/PDGF-2 dimers and of their anologs can be obtained by introduction of cDNA clones encoding c-sis/PDGF-2, PDGF-1 or PDGF-1 and PDGF-2 genes into enkaryotic cells using appropriate expression systems (Institute of Molecular Biology, Inc., Boston, MA); U.S. Patent No. 4776073 (Murray et al, I) , Hannick et al, (1986) Mol. Cell. Biol. 6:1343-1348; King et al, (1985) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.
- Mammalian cells in culture infected with the Simian Sarcoma Virus which contains the gene encoding the PDGF-2 chain were shown to synthesize the PDGF-2 polypeptide and to process it into disulfide-linked homodimers with molecular weights of about 35,000 and 24,000 (Robbins, K. et al, (1983) Nature 305:605-608).
- PDGF-2 homodimer reacts with antisera raised against human PDGF.
- the functional properties of the secreted PDGF-2 homodimer are similar to those of platelet-derived PDGF in that it stimulates DNA synthesis in cultured fibroblasts, it induces phosphorylation at the tyrosine residue of a 185 kd cell membrane protein, and it is capable of competing with human ( 125 I)PDGF for binding to specific cell surface PDGF receptors (Owen, A. et al, (1984) Science 225:54-56). Similar properties were shown for the sis/PDGF-2 gene product derived from cultured normal human cells (e.g. human arterial endothelial cells) , or from human malignant cells expressing the sis/PDGF-2 gene (Antoniades, H.
- the PDGF-R ⁇ did not recognize the PDGF-1 homodimer; the latter was bound to a second receptor, the PDGF receptor alpha (PDGF-R ⁇ ) . This receptor also bound the other two isoforms, the human PDGF and the PDGF-2 homodimer with high affinity (Heldin et al, 1988, ibid), The PDGF-R ⁇ was cloned by Matsui et al (1989) Science 243:800-804, and by Claesson-Welsh et al (1989) J. Biol. Chem 264:1742-1747).
- This ⁇ receptor is structurally similar to the ⁇ receptor sharing a 40% sequence identity, with an external binding domain and an intracellular kinase domain (Yarden et al, (1986) Nature 323:226-232; Claesson-Welsh et al, (1989) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 86:4917-4921.
- Peripheral Nerve Regeneration To determine the effectiveness of PDGF and IGF-I in promoting the in vivo regeneration of peripheral nerves, the following experiments were performed.
- a "T” shaped silicone tube communicating system was prepared with an inner diameter of 1.5mm.
- the length of the left branch of the "T” was usually 15 mm but in some experiments it varied from 30 to 90mm.
- the right branch of the "T” was about 15mm and remained opened.
- the vertical branch of the "T" (40mm) was connected to a min-osmotic Alzet 2002 pump (Alza, Palo Alto, CA) , with a capacity of 213 ⁇ l volume and a delivery rate of 0.5 microliters per hour implanted subcutaneously in the dorsum of the rat.
- the proximal sciatic nerve stump was inserted into the left branch of the "T"shaped chamber and the Alzet 2002 pump was connected to the vertical branch of the "T" shaped chamber.
- the third channel remained empty.
- the pump and channel were filled with saline containing 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) (Sigma Chen Co., St. Louis, MO).
- BSA bovine serum albumin
- This experiment was as described in experiment #2, except that the Alzet pump was filled with saline/1% BSA containing 100 nanograms of IGF-I per microliter. The pump delivered 0.5 microliters or 50 nanograms IGF-I per hour for two weeks.
- Experiment #4 Delivery of PDGF alone This experiment was as described in experiment #2, except that the Alzet pump was filled with saline/1% BSA containing 2.0 nanograms PDGF-2(B) per microliter - the pump delivered 0.5 microliters or 1.0 nanogram PDGF per hour for two weeks.
- Experiment #5 Delivery of a combination of PDGF and IGF-
- This experiment was as described in experiment #2, except that the Alzet pump was filled with saline/1% BSA containing 2.0 nanograms PDGF-2(B) per microliter and 100 nanograms IGF-1 per microliter.
- the pump delivered 0.5 microliters or 1.0 nanogram PDGF and 50 nanograms IGF-1 per hour for two weeks.
- Purified human recombinant IGF-I and purified human recombinant PDGF-2 (B) homodimer were obtained from the Institute of Molecular Biology, Inc. Boston, MA.
- the chamber was immersed in a solution, containing 2.5% purified glutaraldehyde in 0.1M cacodylate buffer at pH 7.15 for at least 24 hrs. After postfixation in 1% osmium tetroxide and dehydration the tissue within the channels was divided into small sections and embedded in agar resin 100. Transverse sections, 1 ⁇ m thick, were prepared at defined levels in the channels. The sections were stained with methylene blue and azure II, and examined by light microscopy. The length and direction of the regenerated nerve was determined by the presence of myelinated axons at each level. Unmyelinated axons or Schwann cells were not considered in the evaluation of regeneration in this study. Selected specimens were prepared for electron microscopy on a LKB Ultratome V and. examined in a jeol 100 CX electron microscope after being contrasted with uranyl acetate and lead citrate.
- IGF-I Intracellular growth factor-I with a miniosmotic pump produced growth by regenerating sciatic nerve of 0.6 + 0.3 mm/day as measured for a two week period.
- the length of the axons corresponded about to that indicated by the pinch test.
- numerous myelinated axons could be seen within the tube at distances corresponding to the above mentioned growth. Numerous Schwann cells could be demonstrated along the axons.
- This group showed an impressive growth of functional nerve fibers.
- the average growth over a two week period was 4.2 ⁇ 0.7 mm per day.
- the growth of the myelinated nerve induced by PDGF/IGF-I was about 7-fold greater than that induced by IGF-I alone.
- PDGF did appear to stimulate proliferation of Schwann cells, an event of potentially significant benefit for treating demyelination diseases such as MS. Medical Use The results of these experimetns indicate that diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS) amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or other neurodegenerative diseases resulting in damage to or atrophy of nerve processes may be treated with the compounds described herein.
- nerves damaged due to trauma may also be regenerated by the compounds described herein.
- formulations of this invention may be administered parenterally for systemic distribution or locally at the site of the injured or damaged nerve.
- the compunds provided herein can be formulated into any pharmaceutically acceptable excipients or carrier.
- the intended use of the compounds is for the treatment of CNS disorders (e.g., ischemia, trauma, and tumors), of the brain or other regions of the CNS, (e.g., the retina)
- CNS disorders e.g., ischemia, trauma, and tumors
- they may be made to contact the tissues of the CNS by direct infusion into the CNS or cerebrospinial fluid, conjugation with a molecule which naturally passes into the CNS, by reducing the overall length of the polypeptide chain and retaining the biologically active site, or by increasing the lipophilicity of the compounds, e.g., by appropriate amino acid substitutions.
- Effective molar ratios of PDGF to IGF are anticipated to be between 1:500 and 100:1, preferably between 1:250 and 50:1, and more preferably between 1:100 and 25:1. Effective doses are anticipated to be 0.001 ⁇ g to 1,000 ⁇ g of active components per day of injured, damaged, or atrophied nerve.
