Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to connective tissue diseases such as " rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) . More particularly, the present invention relates to antigens which are related to such diseases.
  • SLE Systemic lupus erythematosus
  • SLE is a chronic inflammatory disease which results in injury to the skin, joints, kidneys, nervous system and mucous membranes. SLE is not limited to these areas and can affect any organ of the body. SLE is an extremely debilitating diseases which is present in approximately one person in 800. The high frequency of SLE and its debilitating nature have resulted in intense study of this disease by the medical community.
  • SLE is an autoimmune connective tissue disease which is characterized by the presence of a high level of autoantibodies.
  • Patients with SLE typically have a wide variety of autoantibodies against nuclear and cytoplasmic cellular components.
  • the antinuclear antibodies are known to be directed against a variety of materials including deoxyribonucleoprotein, DNA and histone.
  • An exemplary antibody which has been associated with SLE is the 3E10 anti-DNA antibody (see Weisbart, et al.
  • an antigen has been identified and isolated which is related to SLE.
  • the antigen has been identified as HP- 8.
  • the HP-8 antigen is expressed by a gene which was identified by immunoscreening of the human placental cDNA gtll expression library with the 3E10 antibody mentioned above.
  • the isolated cDNA gene sequence (insert size 154 bp) was found to hybridize to a 3.3 kb and 1.2 kb mRNA transcript. It was found that the 3.3 kb transcript was expressed in brain, heart, placenta, lung, skeletal muscle and pancreatic tissues.
  • the 1.2 kb transcript was found to be present in brain, heart, lung, skeletal muscle and kidney.
  • proteins which include the HP-8 antigen epitope are produced by recombinant means involving culturing of transformed micro-organisms which include the gene which codes on expression for the HP-8 antigen.
  • HP-8 antigen is useful in mapping and determining the genetic origin for expression of gene products in patients with SLE.
  • the HP-8 antigen may be used in procedures for developing therapeutic rational drug designs to be used in treating SLE or other related connective tissue diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.
  • proteins and polypeptides which include the HP-8 antigen are used to raise antibodies in animals.
  • the antibodies which are raised in response to the HP-8 antigen are useful in the study and treatment of SLE.
  • HP-8 antigen in accordance with the present invention is defined as a protein or polypeptide which includes an epitope which is substantially homologous with the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2.
  • the entire protein or polypeptide will have a molecular weight of less than 10 Kd based on mRNA size.
  • Preferred proteins will have molecular weights on the order of 60 to 100 Kd, depending on glycosylation.
  • the amino acid sequence of the epitope of the protein or polypeptide must be 90 % homologous with the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2.
  • HP-8 antigens in accordance with the present invention may be produced in accordance with any of the known processes for preparing polypeptides and proteins. It is preferred that the antigen be expressed in prokaryotic, - eukaryotic or insect viral cells by recombinant means.
  • An exemplary procedure for producing HP-8 antigen is as follows:
  • cDNA library was plated and screened according to manufacturers instructions.
  • cDNA library was a human placental cDNA GTll expression library, Catalog No: HL-1075B (Clontech Laboratories, Palo Alto, CA) .
  • Large 150 mm LB soft agar plates were used to plate and screen the library with MAb 3E10.
  • 0.6 ml of plating bacteria (Y1090) was incubated with a proper dilution of lambda gtll phage and absorbed to the cells at 37° C for 15 minutes.
  • 7.5 ml of LB soft agar was added to the culture and quickly poured onto the plates and incubated at 42° C for 3.5 hours.
  • Detection of bound antibody used an alkaline phosphatase conjugate. Filters were incubated with goat-anti-mouse conjugate (2 ul) in 5 ml of buffer A for 30 minutes. Following incubation the filters were washed 3 times with 50 ml of Buffer A (10 minutes each wash) . An additional wash was done in Buffer C for 10 minutes. Detection was performed by addition of 25 ul Nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT) (100 mg/ml) and 12 ul 5- Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl phosphate (BCIP) (100 mg/ml) . Filters were incubated until signals became visible under reduced illumination.
  • NBT Nitro blue tetrazolium
  • BCIP 5- Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl phosphate
  • the reaction was terminated by washing in 1 mM EDTA and positives selected. Six positives were identified in the screen and one was determined to be a true positive following secondary and tertiary rescreening using dilution cloning. The positive, designated HP-8, was screened against normal human sera as a negative control indicating the validity of the 3E10 reactivity. Details of the preparation of the buffers are described in the Clontech Handbook (1992) . The lambda phage was grown up on plates according to protocols supplied from Clontech (pgs. 20-22, Clontech Protocol Handbook 1992) . Isolated DNA was obtained and Eco Rl digested using standard methods described in Maniatis, T.
  • the double-stranded pBLUESCRIPT pSKII+ plasmids containing the HP-8 specific clone fragment were grown and DNA harvested using the Qiagen column purification system (Qiagen Corp., Chatsworth, CA, Catalog number: 12162) . T3 and T7 primers were used to sequence the cDNA. Procedures were followed using standard cycle sequencing conditions recommended by the manufacturers (ABI, Foster City, CA, Catalog number: 401384) .
  • the nucleotide sequence and corresponding amino " acid sequence are set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1 and SEQ ID NO: 2, respectively.
  • a multiple tissue northern blot was obtained from Clontech Laboratories, Palo Alto, California (Catalog number: 7760-1) and hybridized to 32P labelled cDNA insert from HP-8.
  • the probe was prepared according to manufacturers instructions (BRL, Gaithersburg, MD, Catalog number: 8187-SA) at high specific activity. Hybridization conditions were performed as described in the Clontech handbook for Product number 7760-1. Washed filters were air dried and exposed to Kodak XR-5 x-ray film for 18 hours at -70°C.
