- the present invention relates to a method of treating coronary thrombosis, the method comprising administering, to a patient in need of such treatment, an effective amount of lys-plasminogen and, simultaneously or sequentially, an effective amount of tissue plaminogen activator (t-PA).
- tissue plaminogen activator t-PA
- accelarated thrombolysis and prevention of reocclusion may furthermore result in decreased secondary restenosis in the vessels due to shorter exposure to the vessel wall to inducers of cell proliferation known to be produced by the thrombi (for instance PDGF, thrombin, etc.).
- the present invention therefore relates to a method of preventing reocclusion of coronary arteries following treatment of coronary thrombosis, the method comprising administering, to a patient in need of such treatment, an effective amount of lys-plasminogen and, simultaneously or sequentially, an effective amount of tissue plaminogen activator (t-PA).
- t-PA tissue plaminogen activator
- the invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of coronary thrombosis, the composition comprising, in separate containers, lys-plasminogen and t-PA, each together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent.
- the invention relates to the use of lys-plasminogen in combination with t-PA for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of coronary thrombosis as well as for the prevention of reocclusion of coronary arteries following such treatment.
- Lys-plasminogen for use according to the present invention may be prepared from native plasminogen (glu-plasminogen) by brief exposure of glu-plasminogen to plasmin resulting in cleavage of 77 amino-terminal amino acids and the formation of lys- plasminogen (named for the N-terminal lysine).
- Native human plasminogen may be purified from plasma by several methods. Recent methods of purification from human plasma are based on affinity chromatography as described by D.G. Deutsch and E.T.Mertz, Fed. Proc. 29, 1979, p. 647, and Science 170. 1970, pp. 1095-1096.
- An affinity matrix (lysine-Sepharose ® ) is prepared by covalent coupling of the ⁇ -amino group of L-lysine to Sepharose ® .
- Plasma diluted with water is passed through a lysine-Sepharose ® column equilibrated with phosphate buffer (pH7.4) at room temperature after which the column is washed with phosphate buffer.
- Plasminogen is then eluted with 0.2 M e -amino caproic acid (pH 7.4).
- the e -amino caproic acid is then removed from plasminogen in the cold, by gel filtration on Sephadex ® equilibrated with phosphate buffer.
- the use of human proteins purified from human plasma involves a certain risk of viral infection.
- the risk of HIV and hepatitis infections has become a major concern in dealing with plasma-derived human proteins.
- cDNA 5 sequences encoding plasminogen and lys-plasminogen as well as the preparation thereof are described in EP 319 944 (Zymogenetics).
- t-PA it is preferred to produce the t-PA to be used according to the present invention by recombinant DNA techniques.
- cDNA encoding t-PA has been described by Pennica et al., Nature 301. 1983, pp. 214-221; Kaufman et al., Mol. Cell. Biol. 5,
- t-PA analogue may be used according to the invention.

- the DNA coding for the desired polypeptide may be introduced into a suitable recombinant expression vector.
- This may be any vector which may conveniently be subjected to recombinant DNA procedures, and the choice of vector will often depend on the host cell into which 20 it is to be introduced.
- the vector may be an autonomously replicating vector, i.e. a vector which exists as an extrachromosomal entity, the replication of which is independent of chromosomal replication, e.g. a plasmid.
- the vector may be one which, when introduced into a host cell, is integrated into the host cell genome and replicated together with the chromosome(s) into which it has been integrated.
- the DNA sequence encoding the desired polypeptide should be operably connected to a suitable promoter sequence.
- the promoter may be any DNA sequence which shows transcriptional activity in the host cell of choice and may be derived from genes encoding proteins either homologous or heterologous to the host cell.
- suitable promoters for directing the transcription of the DNA encoding the desired polypeptide in mammalian cells are the SV40 promoter (Subramani et al., Mol. Cell Biol. 1 (1981), 854 -864), the MT-1 (metallothionein gene) promoter (Palmiter et al., Science 222 (1983), 809 - 814) or the adenovirus 2 major late promoter.
- a suitable promoter for use in insect cells is the polyhedrin promoter (Vasuvedan et al., FEBS Lett. 311, (1992) 7 - 11).
- Suitable promoters for use in yeast host cells include promoters from yeast glycolytic genes (Hitzeman et al., J. Biol. Chem. 255 (1980), 12073 - 12080; Alber and Kawasaki, J. Mol. Appl. Gen.
- Suitable promoters for use in filamentous fungus host cells are, for instance, the ADH3 promoter (McKnight et al., The EMBO J. 4 (1985), 2093 - 2099) or the tpjA promoter.
- the DNA sequence encoding the desired polypeptide may also be operably connected to a suitable terminator, such as the human growth hormone terminator (Palmiter et al., op. cit.) or (for fungal hosts) the TPIl (Alber and Kawasaki, op ⁇ cit.) or ADH3 (McKnight et al., op. cit.) terminators.
- the vector may further comprise elements such as polyadenylation signals (e.g. from SV40 or the adenovirus 5 Elb region), transcriptional enhancer sequences (e.g. the SV40 enhancer) and translational enhancer sequences (e.g. the ones encoding adenovirus VA RNAs).
- the recombinant expression vector may further comprise a DNA sequence enabling the vector to replicate in the host cell in question.
- a DNA sequence enabling the vector to replicate in the host cell in question.
- An example of such a sequence is the SV40 origin of replication.
- the vector may also comprise a selectable marker, e.g. a gene the product of which complements a defect in the host cell, such as the gene coding for dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) or one which confers resistance to a drug, e.g. neomycin, hygromycin or methotrexate.
- DHFR dihydrofolate reductase
- the host cell into which the expression vector is introduced may be any cell which is capable of producing the desired polypeptide and may suitably be a eukaryotic cell, such as invertebrate (insect) cells or vertebrate cells, e.g. Xenopus laevis oocytes or mammalian cells, in particular insect and mammalian cells.
- a eukaryotic cell such as invertebrate (insect) cells or vertebrate cells, e.g. Xenopus laevis oocytes or mammalian cells, in particular insect and mammalian cells.
- suitable mammalian cell lines are the COS (ATCC CRL 1650), BHK (ATCC CRL 1632, ATCC CCL 10), CHL (ATCC CCL39) or CHO (ATCC CCL 61) cell lines.
- fungal cells may be used as host cells of the invention.
- suitable yeasts cells include cells of Saccharomyces spp. or Schizosaccharomyces spp., in particular strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
- Other fungal cells are cells of filamentous fungi, e.g. Aspergillus spp. or Neurospora spp., in particular strains of Aspergillus oryzae or Aspergillus niger.
- Aspergillus spp. for the expression of proteins is described in, e.g., EP 238 023.
- the desired polypeptide may then be produced by a method which comprises culturing a cell as described above in a suitable nutrient medium under conditions which are conducive to the expression of the desired polypeptide and recovering the resulting polypeptide from the culture.
- the medium used to culture the cells may be any conventional medium suitable for growing mammalian cells, such as a serum-containing or serum-free medium containing appropriate supplements. Suitable media are available from commercial suppliers or may be prepared according to published recipes (e.g. in catalogues of the American Type Culture Collection).
- lys-plasminogen or glu-plasminogen may be produced by coexpression of lys- or glu-plasminogen with ⁇ -2-plasmin inhibitor or ⁇ -1-antitrypsin (AAT) in transfected BHK cells.
- AAT ⁇ -2-plasmin inhibitor or ⁇ -1-antitrypsin
- Coexpression with AAT causes inhibition of urokinase produced by the BHK cells.
- Activation of plasminogen by urokinase and plasmin-mediated proteolytic cleavage is thereby greatly reduced and consequently, high levels of intact plasminogen is obtained.
- the polypeptide produced by the cells may then be recovered from the culture medium by conventional procedures including separating the host cells from the medium by centrifugation or filtration, precipitating the proteinaceous components of the supernatant or filtrate by means of a salt, e.g. ammonium sulphate, purification by a variety of chromatographic procedures, e.g. ion exchange chromatography, affinity chromatography, or the like.

- the administration of lys- plasminogen may be substantially simultaneous with the administration of t-PA. This may, for instance, be effected by providing lys-plasminogen and t-PA in a device which makes it possible to administer two substances simultaneously.
- lys- plasminogen or t-PA may be administered first and the other component may be administered immediately after that ("immediately” meaning any period of time up to one minute after administration of the first component).
- t-PA may be administered before the administration of lys- plasminogen.
- lys-plasminogen may be administered before the administration of t-PA.
- the t-PA may be adminstered 5-20 minutes, preferably about 10 minutes, after the administration of lys-plasminogen.
