Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to treating inflammation by preventing the metabolic addition of a sulfate to a natural ligand and/or the removal of a sulfate moiety from a specific position on a natural ligand to thereby hinder the attachment of the ligand to a receptor. More specifically, the invention relates to locally administering compounds such as non- toxic chlorates which metabolically prevent the addition of a sulfate moiety to a selectin ligand and/or administering specific sulfatase compounds which remove sulfate moieties resulting in desirable effects for alleviation of inflammation.
- Adhesion of circulating leukocytes to stimulated vascular endothelium is a primary event of the inflammatory response.
- selectins include L-selectin, LAM-1 (gpgo 1 ⁇ , Leu8) , P-selectin (GMP-140 (PADGEM, CD62) and E-selectin (ELAM-1) (Gong, J.-G., et al., Nature (1990) 343:757: Johnston, G.I., et al. ,
- E-selectin or ELAM-l is interesting because of its transient expression on endothelial cells in response to IL-l or TNF (Bevilacqua, M.P., et al. , Science (1989) 243:1160) .
- the time course of this induced expression (2-8 h) suggests a role for this receptor in initial neutrophil extravasation in response to infection and injury.
- Bevilacqua et al. see Bevilacqua, M.P., et al., Proc. Na l. Acad. Sci. USA (1987) 84:9238) have demonstrated that human neutrophils or HL-60 cells will adhere to COS cells transfected with a plasmid containing a cDNA encoding the ELAM-l receptor.
- E-selectin or ELAM-l ligands which are also referred to as E-selectin ligands.
- L-selectin or LECAM-1 is interesting because of its involvement in lymphocytic and neutrophil influx (Watson et al., Nature. 349:164-167 (1991)). It was expressed in chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells which bind to HEV (seespertini et al., Nature, 3_49_:691-694 (1991)). It is believed that HEV-like structures at sites of chronic inflammation are associated with the symptoms of disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and multiple sclerosis.
- the selectins are a family of three cell-cell adhesion proteins that mediate various leukocyte- endothelial adhesion events (reviewed in Lasky, L.A. , Science. 258:964-969 (1992); McEver, R.P., Curr. Qpin. Cell Biol.. 4:840-849 (1992); Bevilacqua, M.P., and Nelson, R.M. , J. Clin. Invest... £1:379-387 (1993); Rosen, S.D., Semin. in Immunol.. 5.:237-249 (1993).
- L-selectin is expressed on the surface of leukocytes and participates in the homing of blood borne-lymphocytes to peripheral lymph nodes (Gallatin, W.M. , Weissman, I.L., and Butcher, E.C., Nature, 303:30-34 (1983); Geoffroy, J.S., and Rosen, S.D., J. Cell Biol.. 109_:2463-2469 (1989)) by mediating attachment to the specialized endothelial lining cells of high endothelial venules (HEV) .
- L-selectin is also involved in the rolling interaction of neutrophils with venular endothelium at certain sites of acute inflammation (Lewinsohn et al., J.
- the other two selectins, E- and P-, are expressed on endothelial cells where they mediate attachment to neutrophils, monocytes and specific subsets of lymphocytes.
- L-selectin participates in the entry of lymphocytes and monocytes into sites of chronic inflammation (Dawson et al. , Eur. J. Immunol.. 22:1647- 1650 (1992), and Spertini et al., J. EXP. Med.. 175.:1789- 1792 (1992)).
- the selectins perform their adhesive functions by virtue of C-type lectin domains at their amino termini (Drickamer, K. , J.
- each selectin is capable of recognizing sialyl Lewis X [sLe x , i.e., Neu5ACo.2 ⁇ 3Gal/3l ⁇ 4 (Fuc ⁇ l ⁇ 3)/GlcNAc] and related structures (reviewed in Stoolman, L.M. , Cell Surface Carbohydrates and Cell
- L-selectin or LECAM-1 a lectin-like receptor bearing a calcium-type domain, mediates the attachment of lymphocytes to high endothelial venules (HEV) of lymph nodes (Gallatin et al. , Nature, 3_ ⁇ _3:30-34 (1983); Lasky, L.A., Science. 258:964-969 (1992); and Bevilacqua et al. , J. Clin. Invest.. 9J.:370-387 (1993)).
- HEV endothelial venules
- each selectin has a set of preferred biological ligands (Larsen, G.R., Sako, D., Ahem, T.J., Shaffer, M. , Erban, J. , Sajer, S.A., Gibson, R.M. ,
- the best characterized ligands are the HEV-associated ligands for L-selectin, known as GlyCAM-1 (previously terms Sgp50) and Sgp90 (Imai, Y., Singer, M.S., Fennie, C, Lasky, L.A., and Rosen, S.D.,
- endothelial- associated ligands are mucin-like glycoproteins with sulfated, sialylated and fucosylated 0-linked oligosaccharide chains.
- the glycoproteins were originally detected by precipitation of lymph node extracts, metabolically labeled with 35 S0 4 , with a soluble L-selectin/immunoglobulin chimera.
- GlyCAM-1 is released into conditioned medium of cultured lymph nodes as an intact molecule (Lasky, L.A., Singer, M.S., Dowbenko, D., Imai, Y. , Henzel, W.J. ,
- GlyCAM-l Molecular analysis has revealed GlyCAM-l to be a novel mucin-like glycoprotein, and more recently Sgp90 has also been shown to be an HEV-specific glycoform of the mucin CD34, Baumhueter, S., Singer, M.S., Henzel, W. , Hemmerich, S., Renz, M. , Rosen, S.D. and Lasky, L.A., Science, 262:436- 438 (1993) .
- the 0-linked chains of GlyCAM-l have been shown to be heterogeneous in both size and charge (Imai, Y., and Rosen, S.D., Glycoconiugate J.. 11:34-39 (1993)).
- fucose has been shown to be a critical determinant for the neutrophil ligands for P- and E-selectin (Larsen, G.R., Sako, D., Ahem, T.J., Shaffer, M. , Erban, J. , Sajer, S.A., Gibson, R.M. , Wagner, D.D., Furie, B.C., and Furie, B., J. Biol. Chem.. 267:11104-11110 (1992)), and in light of the sequence similarity among the lectin domains of the selectins is likely to be important for L-selectin ligands as well.
- compositions are administered to a patient (preferably by injection and locally) to treat a variety of conditions including inflammation associated with trauma and with certain aspects of diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, insulin-dependent diabetes, cutaneous lymphomas, duodenal ulcer, chronic proctitis, lymphocytic thyroiditis, hemorphagic shock, reperfusion injury during transplantation and multiple sclerosis.
- the compositions are pharmaceutically acceptable injectable formulations which include an active component in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
- the active component is a chlorate or a selenate which inhibits the natural biochemical sulfation process and/or a sulfatase enzyme which removes a sulfate from a specific position of a saccharide molecule which makes up a part of a natural ligand. Removal of the sulfate from the ligand hinders the ability of the ligand to bind to its natural receptor and thereby hinders a biochemical chain of events which results in inflammation.
- An object of the invention is to provide a pharmaceutical formulation comprised of a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier having therein a sulfatase enzyme which removes a sulfate moiety from the 6-position of a saccharide moiety (galactose or N-acetylglucosamine) which makes up a part of a natural ligand.
- a sulfatase enzyme which removes a sulfate moiety from the 6-position of a saccharide moiety (galactose or N-acetylglucosamine) which makes up a part of a natural ligand.
- Another object is to provide such a formulation wherein the sulfatase enzyme is galactose-6-sulfate sulfatase or N-acetylglucosamine 6-sulfate sulfatase.
- Another object is to provide a pharmaceutical formulation comprised of a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier having therein a chlorate or a selenate compound, which compound inhibits the natural biochemical sulfation process.
- Another object is to provide a method of treating inflammation wherein a formulation comprised of a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier having a chlorate/ selenate and/or a specific sulfatase enzyme therein is locally injected to a site or injected intravenously in order to prevent and/or alleviate inflammation.
- a feature of the invention is that the sulfatase enzymes used are highly specific for the removal of sulfate moieties from a specific position on a specific ligand for L-selectin, i.e. removal of a sulfate moiety from the 6-position of N-acetylglucosamine and/or the 6-position of galactose.
- An advantage of the invention is that a combined effect on reducing inflammation can be obtained by administering combinations of (1) a compound which metabolically inhibits the addition of a sulfate moiety to a natural selectin ligand, and (2) an enzyme which specifically removes a sulfate moiety from a natural ligand.
- compositions which are useful in treating, preventing and/or alleviating any undesirable effects resulting from the interaction of circulating neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils with endothelial cells.
- Such compositions are comprised of an inactive ingredient in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient material having therein a chlorate and/or a sulfatase enzyme for removing a sulfate from a specific position on an oligosaccharide.
- Figure 1 is a cross-sectional schematic view showing the interaction between white blood cells and activated endothelial cells.

- FIG. 1 shows a cross-sectional view of a blood vessel 1.
- the vessel wall 2 is lined internally with endothelial cells 3.
- the white blood cells 6 synthesize and express L-selectin which is displayed in Figure 2 as a surface receptor 7. Both red blood cells 5 and white blood cells 6 flow in the vessel 1.
- the white blood cells 6 display a receptor 7 which have chemical and physical characteristics which allow the receptor 7 to bind to the ligand 4 on the endothelial cells 3.
- the white blood cell 6 is brought through the vessel wall 2 as is shown with the white blood cell 6A.
- the white blood cells 6B brought into the surrounding tissue 8 can have positive effects, such as fighting infection, and negative effects, such as inflainmation. Inflammation is caused by too many white blood cells 6B entering the tissue 8 in a given unit of time.
- natural ligands 4 includes sulfates on specific positions and that (1) it is possible to inhibit the sulfation of the natural ligand by introducing a competing moiety such as a chlorate which inhibits sulfation and (2) a sulfate can be removed from a specific position by a specific sulfatase enzyme thereby rendering the binding of the natural ligand and receptor.
- a competing moiety such as a chlorate which inhibits sulfation
- a sulfate can be removed from a specific position by a specific sulfatase enzyme thereby rendering the binding of the natural ligand and receptor.
- Figure 2 shows how removal of the sulfate 4B hinders the ability of the unsulfated ligand 4A to bind to the receptor 7.
- Figure 2 shows how compounds which inhibit sulfation or remove a sulfate can, when administered, inhibit the adhesion of a receptor 7 (connected to a white blood cell 6) to a natural ligand 4 on an endothelial cell 3.
- a receptor 7 connected to a white blood cell 6
- a natural ligand 4 on an endothelial cell 3 By administering pharmaceutically effective amounts of chlorates/selenates to inhibit sulfation and/or sulfatase enzymes to remove sulfate moieties at specified positions, some, but not all, of the white blood cells will not reach the surrounding tissue 8.
- inflammation can be prevented and/or alleviated.
- the ligand 4 would not be sulfated and therefore would have a configuration such as the ligand 4A. Such a configuration would not adhere well (although it can adhere) to the receptor 7 thereby reducing the rate at which leukocytes adhere to endothelial cells and enter the tissue 8, thus preventing or alleviating inflammation.
- any inhibitor would not block all sulfation the inhibitor could be used with a sulfatase in order to remove sulfates to create an unsulfated ligand 4A and cause the same effect, i.e.
- 3-sulfated Le x /Le a i.e., sulfated on 3-position of galactose
- SGNL sulfated on 3-position of galactose
- other sulfated structures are also capable of binding to L-selectin, apparently through specific interactions with its C-type lectin domain (Green, P.J., Tamatani, T. , Watanabe, T. , Miyasaka, M. , Hasegawa, A., Kiso, M. , Yuen, C.T. , Stoll, M.S., and Feizi, T. , Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun..
- Inhibitor of Sulfation Chlorate is a metabolic inhibitor of carbohydrate sulfation (Baeuerle and Huttner, Biochem Biophvs. Res. Comm.. 141:870 (1986)). Accordingly, chlorate was used to test whether sulfation is required for the ligand binding activity of GlyCAM. When tests were carried out it was found that the presence of chlorate (10 M) in organ cultures of lymph nodes substantially reduced (-90%) incorporation of 35 S-S0 4 into GlyCAM and CD34 and completely eliminated binding to L-selectin.
- Inhibitor of sulfation include sodium chlorate (Baenerle et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 141:2:870- 877 (1986) ) and sodium selenate (Hilz & Lipmann, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 880-890 (1955)). Both of these inhibitors work by blocking the formation of
- PAPS 3' phosphoadenosine 5' phosphosulfate
- Endothelial ligands for L-selectin are available in very limited quantities. Desulfation reduces the affinity of these ligands for L-selectin such that leukocyte adhesion is blocked.
- Inhibitors such as chlorates, including sodium and potassium chlorates, and inhibitors such as selenate act as metabolic inhibitors of sulfation by preventing the formation of PAPS, which is the general donor of sulfates in the biosynthesis of sulfated biological molecules. Accordingly, the use of such inhibitors can have other, undesirable effects, in that they can prevent the sulfation of molecules which should be sulfated.
- a sulfation inhibitor which prevents the sulfation only of L-selectin ligands, such as by using an inhibitor which inhibits sulfation of a specific carbohydrate chain of such glycoproteins.
- the inhibitor should inhibit by preventing the addition of a sulfate to the 6-position of galactose (or the 6-position of N-acetylglucosamine) which are present in the endothelial ligands of L-selectins.
- Sialic acid and fucose are also essential for the activity of GlyCAM-l and CD34/Sgp90 (Imai, Y. , Lasky, L.A., and Rosen, S.D. Glvcobiologv. 2:373-381 (1992)).
- lectins of defined specificity in conjunction with specific exo-glycosidases to identify a major capping structure that includes all three critical elements.
- Sulfatase enzymes are known. Further, it is known that sulfatase enzymes can be extracted from natural sources or recombinantly produced.
- the sulfatase enzymes used in connection with the formulations and methodology of the present invention can be extracted from natural sources and purified or recombinantly produced. In general, extraction and/or recombinant production of the sulfatase enzyme takes place followed by purification using methodology known to those skilled in the art.
- the sulfatase enzymes may be extracted from sources such as bacteria, fungi, plants, invertebrates, mammalian sources such as liver, kidney, placenta, brain, leukocytes, or endothelial cells.
- sulfatase enzymes of the present invention using recombinant technologies.
- Sulfatase enzymes act very specifically. Any given sulfatase enzyme is generally useful only with respect to removing a sulfate moiety from a specific position on a specific molecule. In that we have determined that sulfate moieties are present at specific positions on specific saccharide molecules of ligands (see below) , it is necessary to obtain the specific sulfatase enzyme which removes the sulfate moiety in order to carry out the present invention.
- Preferred sulfatase enzymes useful in connection with the present invention include N-acetyl- galactosamine-6-sulfate/galactose-6 sulfate sulfatase, N-acetylglucosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase.
- the sulfatases which are useful in connection with the present invention are preferably capable of removing these sulfate moieties.
- the compounds such as (1) various chlorates, (2) sulfatases, and (3) combinations thereof can be formulated into a pharmaceutical formulation and administered to a subject in need thereof to treat a patient. They may be administered prophylactically in order to prevent inflammation or to relieve it after it has begun.
- the sulfatases as well as metabolic inhibitors of sulfation such as sodium or potassium chlorate and sodium selenate are preferably administered with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, the nature of the carrier differing with the mode of administration, for example, oral administration, usually using a solid carrier and I.V. administration a liquid salt solution carrier.
- the formulation and/or means of administration will also vary depending on whether a chlorate or sulfatase is being administered.
- a sulfatase is an enzyme which would not generally be administered orally but would be administered by I.V.
- the desired formulation can be made using a variety of excipients including, for example, pharmaceutical grades of mannitol, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, sodium saccharin cellulose, magnesium carbonate, and the like.
- Oral compositions may be taken in the form of solutions, suspensions, tablets, pills, capsules, sustained release formulations, or powders. Particularly useful is the administration of chlorates or selenates directly in transdermal formulations with permeation enhancers such as DMSO.
- Other topical formulations can be administered to treat dermal inflammation.
- a therapeutically effective amount is an amount sufficient to prevent sulfation or remove sulfate moieties from a substantial proportional number of ligands so that inflammation can either be prevented or ameliorated.
- "treating" as used herein shall mean preventing or ameliorating inflammation and/or symptoms associated with inflammation.
- the compositions of the instant invention will contain from less than 1% to about 95% of the active ingredient, preferably about 10% to about 50%.
- Preferably, between about 100 mg and 500 mg will be administered to a child and between about 500 mg and 5 grams will be administered to an adult.
- Administration is preferable by injection and more preferable injection to a localized area. The frequency of administration will be determined by the care given based on patient responsiveness.
- Other effective dosages can be readily determined by one of ordinary skill in the art through routine trials establishing dose response curves.
- sulfatase enzyme In order to calculate the amount of sulfatase enzyme, those skilled in the art could use readily available information with respect to the amount of enzyme necessary to remove a given amount of sulfatase. For example, if a given enzyme has an activity such that one unit of the enzyme removes 1 micromole/min. of S0 4 from L-selectin ligands at physiological pH, then one would administer from l to 10 units intravenously to a 70 kg. human for therapeutic purposes. The amount of chlorate or other inhibitor necessary to inhibit the sulfation can also be calculated from in vitro experimentation.
- an amount of chlorate to be administered can be determined.
- the amount of inhibitor will, of course, vary depending upon the particular inhibitor used.
- sulfatases or chlorates (or selenates) In determining the dose of sulfatases or chlorates (or selenates) to be administered, it must be kept in mind that one does not wish to completely inhibit sulfation or remove all sulfates. In order for a normal healing process to proceed, at least some of the white blood cells or neutrophils must be brought into the tissue in the areas where the wound, infection or disease state is occurring. The amount of the sulfatases or chlorates/selenates administered are adjusted based on the particular needs of the patient while taking into consideration a variety of factors such as the type of disease that is being treated.
- the sulfatases and/or chlorates/selenates can be used to treat a wide range of diseases, including diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, adult respiratory distress syndrome, sarcoidosis, hypersensitivity pneumonitis multiple sclerosis and the spread of lymphomas to cutaneous sites.
- the compositions of the invention should be applicable to treat any disease state wherein the immune system turns against the body causing the white cells to accumulate in the tissues to the extent that they cause tissue damage, swelling, inflammation and/or pain.
- the inflammation of rheumatoid arthritis for example, is created when large numbers of white blood cells quickly enter the joints in the area of disease and attack the surrounding tissues.
- Formulations of sulfatases and/or chlorates/ selenates of might also be administered to prevent the undesirable aftereffects of tissue damage resulting from heart attacks.
- a heart attack occurs and the patient has been revived, such as by the application of anticoagulants or thrombolytic (e.g., tPA)
- thrombolytic e.g., tPA
- the endothelial lining where a clot was formed has often suffered damage.
- the antithrombotic has removed the clot, the damaged tissue beneath the clot and other damaged tissue in the endothelial lining which has been deprived of oxygen become activated.
- the white blood cells possess L-selectin.
- the receptors adhere to ligand molecules on the surface of activated endothelial cells.
- the ligand molecules may be induced to the surface of the endothelial cells by activation. Large numbers of white blood cells are quickly captured and brought into the tissue surrounding the affected area, resulting in inflammation, swelling and necrosis which thereby decreases the likelihood of survival of the patient.
- patients suffering from actual physical trauma could be treated with formulations of the invention in order to relieve the amount of inflammation and swelling which normally result after an area of the body is subjected to severe trauma. This is most preferably done by local injection of sulfatases and/or chlorates/selenates to the area subjected to trauma.
- patients suffering from hemorphagic shock could be treated to alleviate inflammation associated with restoring blood flow.
- sulfatases and/or chlorates/selenates of the invention can be formulated in suppositories and, in some cases, aerosol and intranasal compositions.
- the vehicle composition will include traditional binders and carriers such as, polyalkylene glycols, or triglycerides.
- Such suppositories may be formed from mixtures containing the active ingredient in the range of about 0.5% to about 10% (w/w) , preferably about 1% to about 2%.
- Intranasal formulations will usually include vehicles that neither cause irritation to the nasal mucosa nor significantly disturb ciliary function. Diluents such as water, aqueous saline or other known substances can be employed with the subject invention.
- the nasal formulations may also contain preservatives such as, but not limited to, chlorobutanol and benzalkonium chloride.
- a surfactant may be present to enhance absorption of the subject proteins by the nasal mucosa.
- a variety of different respiratory diseases exhibit symptoms which are aggravated by inflammation and all aspects of the present invention can be used in the treatment of such diseases in order to alleviate and/or prevent the aggravation of such symptoms.
- This is preferably done by the topical pulmonary administration of the sulfatases and/or chlorates/selenates of the invention.
- Such compounds can be topically delivered to the passages of the lung surface.
- Aerosol formulations may be delivered by the use of conventional metered dose inhalers (MDIs) .
- MDIs metered dose inhalers
- Sulfatases and/or chlorates/selenates of the invention are preferably administered as injectables.
- injectable compositions are prepared as liquid solutions or suspensions; solid forms suitable for solution in, or suspension in, liquid vehicles prior to injection may also be prepared.
- the preparation may also be emulsified or the active ingredient encapsulated in liposome vehicles.
- Suitable excipient vehicles are, for example, water, saline, dextrose, glycerol, ethanol, or the like, and combinations thereof.
- the vehicle may contain minor amounts of auxiliary substances such as wetting or emulsifying agents or pH buffering agents.
- auxiliary substances such as wetting or emulsifying agents or pH buffering agents.
- Actual methods of preparing such dosage forms are known, or will be apparent, to those skilled in the art. See, e.g.. Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pennsylvania, 17th edition, 1985.
- the composition or formulation to be administered will, in any event, contain a quantity of the chlorate/selenate and/or sulfatase adequate to achieve the desired state in the subject being treated.
- sulfatases and sulfate inhibitors could aid in preventing hematogenous spread of lymphomas or other hematopoietic neoplasms to cutaneous sites.
- the cancerous cells leave the original tumor and thereafter attach on another site, where the cancerous growth continues.
- sulfatase enzymes and/or sulfate inhibitors as described herein, the reattachment of the cancerous cell to another site would be hindered or prevented.
- the various sulfatases and chlorates/selenates of the present invention can be used by themselves, with each other, or in combination with pharmaceutically acceptable excipient materials as described above.

- Example 2 Inhibition of GlyCAM-1 sulfation eliminates its interaction and/or binding with L-selectin. This conclusion was reached when aliquots of the same precipitates of Example 1, labeled with (a) [ 35 -S] -sulfate or (b) [ 3 -H] -fucose in the presence (dark bars) or absence (cross-hatched bars) of chlorate were subjected to scintillation counting. The percents shown in a given panel (a) (not shown) indicate the percent counts obtained in the presence of chlorate as compared to the absence of chlorate. The values for anti-peptide 2, Limax, and AAA were essentially the same, reflecting the overall reduction in sulfation.

- the digests were then subjected to analysis by HPAEC.
- High pH anion exchange chromatography Peaks I, II and III and their respective products of desulfation, enzymatic digestion, and hydrolysis were analyzed by HPAEC using a Carbopac PAl column (Dionex, Sunnyvale, CA, 250 mm x 4 mm) . Each sample was injected in 25 ⁇ l of water. Elution conditions (flow rate 1 ml/min) were as follows.
- Gal-6S, GlcNAc-3S, GlcNAc, Gal/Sl ⁇ 3GlcNAc, Gal/3l-*4GlcNAc (N-acetyllactosamine, LacNAC) , and Gal / 31- 6GlcNAc were from Sigma.
- Gal-4S and GlcNAc-6S were from V-Labs (Covington, LA) .
- Gal-3S was obtained by hydrolysis of bovine sulfatides (Matreya Inc., pleasant Gap, PA) in 0.1 M H 2 S0 4 (30 min, 100°C) .
- Gal-2S was synthesized from 12,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl- ⁇ -D- galactropyranose (Helferich, B., and Zimer, J. , Ber.. 2604-2611 (1962)) using a procedure based on that of Peat et al. (Peat, S., Bowker, D.M. , and Turvey, J.R., Carbohydr. Res.. 2:225-231 (1968) ) . The product was characterized by ⁇ NMR spectroscopy and by FAB " mass spectrometry. Neutral monosaccharide standards (an equimolar mixture of Fuc, GalN, GlcN, Gal, Glc, and Man) were from Dionex.
- Example 4 particularly identifies the sulfate modifications of GlyCAM-1. Since conventional analysis of the GlyCAM-1 carbohydrates has so far been hampered by the limited quantities of available ligand, we employed radioactive tracer techniques that have been used widely in the sequencing of glycoprotein oligosaccharides (Varki, A., FASEB J.. 1:226-235 (1991); Cummings, R.D., Merkle, R.K., and Stults, N.L., Meth. Cell Biol..
- oligosaccharides of GlyCAM-1 were metabolically labeled in organ culture with 35 S0 4 and a panel of tritiated carbohydrate precursors to allow specific introduction of label into defined monosaccharide units.
- the analysis relied on the use of hydrolysis conditions that released sulfated oligosaccharides without the significant cleavage of sulfate esters.
- Example 4 identified -0 3 SO-6-Gal, GlcNAc-6-OS0 3 -, Gal/S , l ⁇ 4GlcNAc-6-OS0 3 - and -0 3 SO-6-Gal/3l ⁇ 4GlcNAc as components of GlyCAM-1.
- the results provide no evidence for the presence of galactose-3-sulfate on GlyCAM-l, although various Gal-3S containing carbohydrates have ligand activity for L-selectin (Green, P.J., Tamatani, T. , Watanabe, T. , Miyasaka, M. , Hasegawa, A., Kiso, M.
- GlcNAc-6S has been identified in a wide assortment of glycoconjugates which include the glycosaminoglycan chains of keratan sulfate (Roden, L. , In The Biochemistry of Glycoproteins and Proteoglvcans. p. 267-372 (1980) (W.J. Lennarz, ed.) Plenum Press: New York), viral envelope glycoproteins of type I human immunodeficiency virus (Shilatifard, A. , Merkle, R.K. , Helland, D.E., Welles, J.L., Haseltine, W.A. , and Cummings, R.D., J. Virol..
- Gal-6S has been found in keratan sulfates (Roden, L. , In The Biochemistry of Glycoproteins and Proteoglycans. p. 267-372 (W.J.
- Gal-6S occurs on N-acetyllactosamine units, as is the case for the structures identified in Example 4.
- sialic acid, sulfate and probably fucose must be included in any model for the recognition determinants on GlyCAM-1.
- individual 0-linked chains contain either sialic acid-based or sulfate-based determinants.
- the individual chains would be recognized by separate lectin domains of oligomeric L-selectin or may form a combined epitope for a single lectin domain (Norgard, K.E., Moore, K.L., Diaz, S., Stults, N.L., Ushiyama, S., McEver, R.P., Cummings, R.D., and Varki, A., J. Biol. Chem.
- ligands have sulfation and sialylation on the same 0-linked chain forming an L-selectin recognition site, e.g. as a sulfated sLe x -like structure.
- GlyCAM-1 was metabolically labeled in lymph node organ culture with 35 S0 4 , and a panel of tritiated carbohydrate precursors as described in Example 1 above. Mild hydrolysis conditions were used that released sulfated oligosaccharides without the generation of free sulfate. Low molecular weight and singly-charged fragments, obtained by a combination of gel filtration and anion exchange chromatography, were analyzed. The identification of the fragments relied on the use of a variety of radiolabeled sugar precursors (R.D. Cummings, R.K. Merkle and N.L. Stults, in Methods in Cell Biology (Academic Press, 1989) , vol. 3_2, and A. Varki, FASEB J..
- GlyCAM-l were identified as O 3 S0-6-Gal, GlcNAc-6-OS0 3 " , Gal ⁇ 1 ⁇ 4GlcNAc-6- OS0 3 " and O 3 SO-6-Gal01 ⁇ 4GlcNAc.
- GlyCAM-1 with L-selectin was analyzed with respect to sialic acid and fucose substitutions of the sulfated structures obtained in the hydrolysis of GlyCAM-1 (see Example 5 above) .
- a group of lectins with defined carbohydrate specificity was used to examine their binding to GlyCAM-1. Both normal and u ⁇ dersulfated GlyCAM-1 with or without enzymatic desialylation and/or defucosylation was tested.
- ( 3 H-Gal) -labeled GlyCAM-l was produced in mouse lymph node organ cultures as described in Examples 1-4 above.
- Undersulfated GlyCAM was generated by organ culture of murine lymph nodes in medium containing 10 mM Na-chlorate, a known inhibitor of sulfation.
- GlyCAM-1 was isolated from the conditioned media by immunoprecipitation with an antibody to a peptide sequence in the core protein of GlyCAM-1 (CAM02 Ab) , as described in Examples 1-4 above. While GlyCAM incorporated about the same [ 3 H] -galactose activity in the presence or absence of chlorate (2 x 10 6 cpm from 0.25 mCi input), the incorporation of [ 3S S] -sulfate was suppressed in the presence of chlorate to 10% of that in the control (0.16 x 10 6 vs.
- GlyCAM-1 1.75 x 10 6 cpm, 0.5 mCi input. Desialylation of GlyCAM-1 was accomplished in all cases by treatment with Art roJbacter ureafacens sialidase (1.75 units/ml) in 120 mM Na acetate, pH 5.5 (18 h 37°C) .

- Eluant N-acetylglucosamine.
- CAM05 Ab an antibody to the C-terminal peptide of GlyCAM-1 (CAM05 Ab) was also used.
- the eluant for CAM05 Ab was 0.1 M glycine-HCl, 0.2 M NaCl, 0.25% Triton X-100, pH 3.0. Binding was expressed as % of total cpm input.
- GlyCAM-1 preparations were agitated with immobilized lectin (0.2 ml matrix gel per ml, derivatization: 1-2 mg lectin per ml gel) in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing 0.1% BSA .01% NaN 3 for 2 hr at 4°C, then matrices were centrifuged, washed four times with PBS containing 0.25% Triton X-100 and eluted with 100 mM specific eluant in PBS containing 0.25% Triton X-100. The activity in the eluates was then determined by liquid scintillation counting.
- PBS phosphate buffered saline
- GlyCAM-1 normal or undersulfated GlyCAM-1, labeled with [ 3 H] -Gal, was isolated from conditioned medium of lymph nodes by immunoprecipitation with CAM02 Ab conjugated to protein A-agarose as described above.
- the isolated ligand was digested, with or without prior desialylation, with the following enzymes :
- exo-j3l-4galactosidase from Diplococcus, Boehringer Mannheim, #1088718
- exo-j3l-4galactosidase from Diplococcus, Boehringer Mannheim, #1088718
- exo-jSl-4 galactosidase from Diplococcus, Boehringer Mannheim, #1088718
- 0.1 units/ml plus ⁇ l- 3/4 fucosidase Teakara Biochemicals, Tokyo
- the digests were loaded on Sephadex G-25 gel filtration columns (270 mm x 8 mm in PBS, 0.25% Triton X-100) . Columns were eluted with PBS, 0.25% Triton X-100 and 0.5 ml fractions were collected. Entire fractions were counted for [ 3 H] -radioactivity. The undigested material eluted in the void volume (4-5 ml) while liberated [ 3 H] -Gal was included in the column and eluted 2.5-4 ml after the void volume.
- Fucose is ⁇ l ⁇ 3 linked to GlcNAc. This result followed from the actions of the ⁇ l-3/4 fucosidase which: (1) accentuated the release of [ 3 H] -Gal counts from GlyCAM-l by ⁇ l-4 exo-galactosidase (Table II) ; (2) directly released [ 3 H] -Fuc counts from GlyCAM-1
- a 6-sulfated, sialyl Lewis X structure i.e., terminal galactose substituted by both ⁇ 2-3 linked sialic acid and sulfation at the 6-position.
- Example 8 Experiments were conducted to determine the binding of GlyCAM and CD34 to antibody MECA-79 m Ab. Streeter, P.R., Rouse, B.T.N., and Butcher, E.C., J. Cell Biol.. 107:1853-1862 (1988); Michie, S.A., Streeter, P.R., Bolt, P.A. , Butcher, E.C., and Picker, L.J., Amer. J. Path. 143:1688-1698 (1993). Results of these experiments demonstrated that binding of GlyCAM and CD34 to MECA-79 m Ab depends on the sulfation of these ligands.
- the above experiments show that sulfation at particular positions of saccharide molecules is important with respect to the binding of selectin ligands to selectin receptors.
- the above results demonstrate that the sulfate moiety is present at the 6-position on saccharide molecules present within naturally occurring selectin ligands.
- the sulfate is present at the 6-position of N-acetyl- glucosamine and at the 6-position of galactose.
- the above experiments demonstrate that, by inhibiting sulfation, one can interrupt the biochemical process which contributes to inflammation when the process occurs at an unacceptably high rate. Further, by removing the sulfate moiety, one can, in a similar manner, inhibit the biochemical processing which can, and often does, result in inflammation.
