Definitions
- the present invention relates to the production of natural and modified forms of Factor IX.
- the invention relates to a transgenic animal containing, stably incorporated in its genomic DNA, an exogenous Factor IX gene that is expressed specifically in mammary tissue, such that Factor IX is secreted into milk produced by the animal.
- the invention relates to the production of human Factor IX in the milk of a transgenic non-human mammal using a DNA molecule that comprises a whey acidic protein promoter gene, 5' regulatory sequences containing the promoter, human
- Factor IX cDNA that lacks at least a portion of the complete or any portion of or the complete the 3 ' - untranslated region of the native human Factor IX gene, but contains the 5' and 3- 'untranslated region of the mouse whey acidic protein, gene.
- Factor IX is synthesized as a prepropolypetide chain composed of three domains: a signal peptide of 29 ammo acids, a propeptide of 17 am o acids, which is required for ⁇ -carboxylation of glutamic acid residues, and a mature Factor IX protein of 415 ammo acid residues.
- the Factor IX zymogen undergoes three types of post- translational modifications before it is secreted into the blood: a vitamin K-dependent conversion of glutamic acid residues to carboxyglutamic acids, addition of hydrocarbon chains, and j3-hydroxylat ⁇ on of an aspartic acid.
- Mature Factor IX protein contains 12 ⁇ - carboxylated glutamic acid (Gla) residues. Due to the requirement of vitamin K by ⁇ -carboxylase, Factor IX is one of several vitamin K-dependent blood coagulation factors .
- Factor IX The activation of Factor IX is achieved by a two-step removal of the activation peptide (Ala 146 -Arg 180 ) from the molecule. Ba ⁇ a ⁇ et al . , "Human factor IX and factor
- Factor IX For full biological activity, human Factor IX must also have the propeptide removed and must be fully ⁇ -carboxylated. Kurachi et al . , Blood Coagula tion and Fib ⁇ nolysi s 4:953 (1993) .
- Factor IX is the precursor of a serine protease required for blood clotting by the intrinsic clotting pathway. Defects m Factor IX synthesis result in hemophilia B (or Christmas disease) , an X-linked disorder that occurs in about one in 30,000 males. Patients with hemophilia B are treated with Factor IX obtained from pooled plasma from normal individuals. Martinowitz et al . , Acta Haema tol 94 (Suppl . lj.35 (1995) . Such Factor IX preparations, however, may be pyrogenic and may be contaminated with pathogenic agents or viruses.
- FIX mRNA splicing is a species specific effect occurring m mice and perhaps sheep, but not pigs. Although one might hypothesize that a FIX could be expressed, one could not predict with any certainty whether such product would be a clinically acceptable, practical, recombinant therapeutic FIX product for a given hemophiliac indication.
- WO95/30000 will necessarily improve the secretion and biological activity of rFIX m the milk of transgenic livestock or any other cell line. Therefore the claims presented WO 95/30000 are purely speculative and are limited to the mammary gland of transgenic mice. The stability of the rFIX product m the milk of transgenic livestock during upstream and downstream processing is a critical issue for the production of a practical therapeutic. Data presented m Clark et al .
- FXIa Although specific inhibitors of FXIa have not been identified, a similar approach can be made for neutralizing FXIa activation by coexpression of analogues of polypeptide substrates of FXIa similar to those that are commercially available for amidolytic assays. Yet another strategy may be to overexpress rFIX at very high levels (> 1 g/1 milk) such that the FIX activating enzyme is extremely limiting. Otherwise, steps must be taken immediately after milk collection to minimize activation.
- a non-human transgenic mammal containing an exogenous DNA molecule stably integrated in its genome comprises :
- Mammary gland-specific promoters that are useful in the present invention are selected from the group consisting of short whey acidic protein (WAP) promoter, long WAP promoter, short ⁇ - ' casein promoter, short ⁇ - casein promoter, short kappa-casein promoter, long a- casein promoter, long 0-casein promoter, long kappa- casein promoter, cv-lactalbumin promoter and ⁇ - lactoglobulin promoter.
- WAP short whey acidic protein
- Non-human transgenic mammals which are contemplated by the present invention are selected from the group consisting of mice, rats, rabbits, pigs, sheep, goats and cows.
- exogenous DNA molecule comprises: (1) 5' regulatory sequences of a mammary gland-specific gene including a promoter; (2) a Factor IX-encoding DNA sequence that encodes a signal sequence, a Factor IX pro-sequence and a Factor IX sequence in a 5 ' to
- said signal sequence is effective in directing the secretion of said Factor IX into the milk of said transgenic mammal and wherein said Factor IX sequence lacks at least a portion of the complete or the complete 5 ' -untranslated and 3 ' -untranslated regions of the Factor IX gene.; and (3) 3' regulatory sequences from a mammary gland- specific gene or 3 ' regulatory sequences active in a mammary gland; wherein said 5' and said 3' regulatory sequences are operatively linked to said Factor IX-encoding DNA sequence;
- Figures 1A-1D schematically depict the construction of a chimeric Factor IX construct. Specifically, Figure
- FIG. 1A shows the construction of pWAP4.
- Figure IB shows the production of pUCFIX.
- Figure 1C shows the introduction of human FIX cDNA into pWAP4.
- Figure ID shows the production of pUCWAPFIX.
- FIX cDNA was modified by PCR m order to introduce Kpnl sites on the 3' and 5' ends.
- PCR primers humFIX5 ' Kpnl and humFIX3 ' Kpnl were used to produce FIX cDNA with Kpnl sites on both ends .
- Modified cDNA may be easily into a "cassette vector" for constructing a chimeric gene.
- Figure 2 shows the detection of recombinant Factor IX transgenic pig milk using western blot analysis.
- Figures 3A-3C show the production of the pUCWAP6 "cassette vector.” Specifically, Figure 3A shows the production of pUCNotl. Figure 3B shows the production of of pUCWAP5 and the production of a fragment that contains the pUCNotl vector sequence flanked by mWAP3'UTR. Figure 3C shows the production of pUCWAP6.
- Figure 4 shows the production of plasmid pUCWAP6FIX.
- the present invention provides methods for obtaining recombinant Factor IX characterized by a high percentage of active protein from the milk of transgenic animals.
- the term "animal” denotes all mammalian animals except humans. It also includes an individual animal all stages of development, including embryonic and fetal stages.
- transgenic animal is any animal with cells that contain genetic information received, directly or indirectly, by deliberate genetic manipulation at the subcellular level, such as by micro j ection or infection with recombinant virus.
- the genetic information to be introduced into the animal is preferably foreign to the species of animal to which the recipient belongs (i.e., "heterologous"), but the information may also be foreign only to the particular individual recipient, or genetic information already possessed by the recipient. In the last case, the introduced gene may be differently expressed than is the naturally occurring, or "native,” gene.
- transgenic animal refers to a transgenic animal in which foreign DNA has been incorporated into a germ line cell, therefore conferring the ability to transfer the information to offspring. If such offspring, in fact, possess some or all of that information, then they, too, are transgenic animals .
- the transgenic animals of this invention are other than human, including, but not limited to farm animals (pigs, goats, sheep, cows, horses, rabbits and the like) , rodents (such as mice), and domestic pets (for example, cats and dogs) . Livestock animals such as pigs, sheep, goats and cows, are particularly preferred.
- DNA molecules can be introduced into embryos by a variety of means to produce transgenic animals.
- totipotent or pluripotent stem cells can be transformed by microinj ection, calcium phosphate mediated precipitation, liposome fusion, retroviral infection or by other means.
- the transformed cells can then be introduced into embryos and incorporated therein to form transgenic animals.
- developing embryos can be infected with retroviral vectors and transgenic animals can be formed from the infected embryos.
- the DNA molecules of the invention are injected into embryos, preferably at the single-cell stage, which are allowed to develop into mature transgenic animals.
- transgenic animals are well-known. See, for example, Hogan et al . , MANIPULATING THE MOUSE EMBRYO, (Cold Spring Harbor Press 1986) ;
- Suitable Factor IX-encoding DNA used for producing transgenic animals- can be obtained using human liver tissue as a source for cloning the human Factor IX gene.
- the DNA coding for Factor IX can be fused, in proper reading frame, with appropriate regulatory signals, as described in greater detail below, to produce a chimeric construct which is then amplified, for example, by propagation in a bacterial vector, according to conventional practice.
- the amplified construct is thereafter excised from the vector and purified for use in microinjection.
- the purification is preferably accomplished by means of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) , which removes contamination of the bacterial vector and from polysaccharides typically present when other techniques, such as conventional agarose electroelution, are used.
- HPLC high performance liquid chromatography
- the preferred HPLC method entails sorbing the construct onto an anion- exchange HPLC support and selectively eluting the construct from the support, preferably with an aqueous sodium chloride solution, thereby to eliminate contamination from the vector. Elution also may be effected by other means, such as a pH gradient.
- the excised construct can be purified by ultracentrifugation through an aqueous sucrose or sodium chloride gradient, gel electroelution followed by agarose treatment and ethanol precipitation, or low pressure chromatography.
- Human Factor IX probes also can be obtained from the American Type Culture Collection, Rockville, MD (e.g., ATCC Nos. 61385, 79588, 79602, or 79610) .
- Suitable Factor IX-encoding DNA molecules include genomic or complementary DNA molecules that encode naturally occurring Factor IX.
- DNA molecules encoding human Factor IX are employed, including cDNA and genomic DNA molecules.
- the present invention discloses that a cDNA based construct as described herein can be successfully used for the expression of human Factor IX at commercially useful levels.
- a cDNA based construct containing 5 ' regulatory sequences of a mammary gland specific gene including a promoter, a Factor IX- encoding DNA sequence as described herein, and 3 ' regulatory sequences from a mammary gland-specific gene or 3 ' regulatory sequences active in a mammary gland is preferred.
- Factor IX-encoding DNA molecules from other species may also be used, such as the Factor IX encoded by rats, pigs, sheep, cows and chimpanzees.
- the Factor IX cDNA fragment described herein can be modified using recombinant DNA techniques to obtain functionally equivalent molecules. For example, 3' or 5 ' portions of the Factor IX gene can be added, or completely deleted, or a few bases at either end may be removed. Introns can be removed or added, or portions of one or more introns can be deleted. Additional nucleotide sequences can be inserted into them. The sequences of the introns can be altered. Exons can be modified in accordance with the discussion of modified Factor IX molecules set forth below. Most modified forms of the preferred Factor IX cDNA fragment will not be significantly changed in their ability in transgenic animals to engender the production of milk-born Factor IX.
- the Factor IX encoding portion of the gene lacks the complete 5 ' - untranslated and 3 ' -untranslated regions of the native Factor IX gene.
- these substantially similar fragments will be equivalent in the invention to the particularly disclosed Factor IX cDNA fragment.
- a 5 ' -untranslated region that is not the 5 ' - untranslated region of the Factor IX gene can be included in the present DNA Factor IX constructs, particularly the 5 ' -untranslated region of the mouse WAP gene.
- a 3 ' -untranslated region that is not the 3 ' -untranslated region of the Factor IX gene particularly the 3'- untranslated region of the mouse WAP gene.
- the Factor IX-encodmg DNA molecule can also comprise a 5 ' -untranslated region located 5' from the signal sequence DNA, and a 3 ' -untranslated region located 3 ' from the Factor IX coding sequence .
- Factor IX Additional useful modifications include those that alter post-translational modifications, size or active site, or that fuse this protein or portions thereof to another protein. Such modifications can be introduced into the protein by techniques well known m this art, such as by synthesizing modified genes by ligation of overlapping oligonucleotide or introducing mutations into the cloned genes by, for example, oligonucleotide-mediated mutagenesis. See, generally, Ausubel et al . (eds.), CURRENT PROTOCOLS IN MOLECULAR BIOLOGY, pages 8.0.3-8.5.9 (1990); McPherson (ed.),
- the cis-actmg regulatory regions useful m the invention include the promoter that drives expression of the Factor IX gene.
- Promoters particularly useful m the invention are "active" mammary tissue m that the promoters are more active mammary tissue than other tissues under physiological conditions where milk is synthesized. Most preferred are promoters that are both specific to and efficient mammary tissue.
- efficient it is meant that the promoters are strong promoters m mammary tissue that can support the synthesis of large amounts of protein for secretion into milk.
- WAP short and long whey acidic protein
- BLG 3-lactoglobulm
- Preferred promoters include the rodent casem and WAP promoters, and the case , ⁇ .- lactalbum and BLG promoters from porcine, bovine, equine and ovme (pigs, sheep, goats, cows, horses) , rabbits, rodents and domestic pets (dogs and cats)
- porcine, bovine, equine and ovme porcine, bovine, equine and ovme (pigs, sheep, goats, cows, horses) , rabbits, rodents and domestic pets (dogs and cats)
- the genes for these promoters have been isolated and their nucleotide sequences have been published. See, for example, Clark et al . (1987), above, and Hennmghausen, Protein Expression and Purification 41 : 3 (1990) .
- Kpnl fragment immediately 5' to the WAP signal sequence is preferred, although the "long" WAP promoter (the 5' 4.2 kb Sau3A- KpnI promoter of the mouse WAP gene, or a fragment thereof) is also suitable for carrying out this invention.
- Transgenic Research 3: 335 (1994) provides examples of a suitable short mouse WAP promoter ("2.5 kb mWAP promoter") and a long mouse WAP promoter ("4.1 kb mWAP promoter"). Pages 336-339 of the Paleyanda publication are incorporated by reference. Also see, for example, Gordon et al . , Bio/Technology 5 : 1183 (1987);
- regulatory sequences direct secretion of proteins into milk and/or other body fluids of the transgenic animal.
- both homologous and heterologous regulatory sequences are useful the invention.
- regulatory sequences known to direct the secretion of milk proteins such as either signal peptides from milk or the nascent target polypeptide, can be used, although signal sequences can also be used m accordance with this invention that direct the secretion of expressed proteins into other body fluids, particularly blood andcoat .
- signal sequences of secreted coagulation factors include signal peptides of Factor
- RNA processing sequences which regulate the expression of transgenes .
- enhancers include enhancers, splice signals, transcription termination signals, polyadenylation sites, buffering sequences, RNA processing sequences and other sequences which regulate the expression of transgenes .
- Particularly useful m this regard are those sequences that increase the efficiency of the transcription of the genes for Factor IX m the mammary gland or other cells of the transgenic animals listed above.
- the transgenes of the invention generally consist of WAP milk protein regulatory sequences upstream and downstream flanking the Factor IX cDNA/signal peptide sequences.
- a native 5 ' -WAP regulatory sequence ending m an accessible restriction site immediately before/at the ATG codon may be ligated to the restriction sites that occur at the ATG of translatable sequences with no linker sequences derived from the chains of human Factor IX.
- Each of the combined 5 ' -regulatory and Factor IX translatable sequences ending a particular restriction site may then be ligated to a corresponding restriction site which occurs at the beginning of the 3 ' -untranslated region of
- WAP and adjoining WAP 3 ' -flanking region This construction motif enables native 5 ' -regulatory and 3'- untranslated region of the milk protein genes to be lmmediately juxtaposed without intervening sequences.
- Particular restriction sites at the ends of all constructs may be selected m order to facilitate concatenation of constructs into a single domain withm the animal genome .
- a DNA molecule that encodes Factor IX is operably linked to cis-acting regulatory sequences which allow for efficient expression of Factor IX m milk.
- the resulting chimeric DNA is introduced into a mammalian embryo, where t integrates into the embryonic genome and becomes part of the heritable genetic endowment of all the cells, including the germ line cells, of the adult which develops from the embryo.
- Obtaining milk from a transgenic animal according to the present invention is accomplished by conventional means. See, for example, McBurney et al . , J. Lab . Clin .
- Factor IX Factor IX, or fragments thereof, can be isolated and purified from milk or urine by conventional means without delete ⁇ ously affecting activity.
- a preferred method of isolation from milk consists of a combination of anion exchange and immunochromatography, cryoprecipitations, zinc lon- mduced precipitation of either whole milk or milk whey (defatted milk) proteins. See, for example, Brmge et al . , J. Dairy Res . 56:543 (1989).
- Milk is known to contain a number of proteases that have the potential to degrade foreign proteins. These mclude an alkaline protease with tryptic and chy otryptic activities, a serme protease, a chymotrypsm-like enzyme, an ammopeptidase and an acid protease. Clark et al . (1987) above. It may be desirable, therefore, to protect newly secreted Factor
- the transgenic mammal of the present invention produces active human Factor IX.
- said mammal is a pig
- such pig secretes from about 100 to about 220 ⁇ g of active human Factor IX per milliliter milk.
- such pig secretes from about 100 to about 185 ⁇ g of active human Factor IX per milliliter milk, from about 100 to about 170 ⁇ g of active human Factor IX per milliliter of milk, from about 135 to about 220 ⁇ g of active human Factor IX per milliliter of milk or from about 145 to about 220 ⁇ g of active human Factor IX per milliliter of milk, as set forth below.
- Factor IX produced from the transgenic mammal according to the invention has a specific activity which is at least about 5 to 200 percent greater than the specific activity of human Factor IX isolated from human plasma, as determined by an activated partial thromboplastm clotting time assay.
- the specific activity of Factor IX produced by the transgenic mammal of the invention is at least about 10 to 100 percent greater, at least about 15 to 50 percent greater or at least about 15 to about 46 percent greater than the specific activity of human Factor IX isolated from human plasma.
- the invention relates to an m vitro culture of mammary gland cells explanted from the transgenic mammal of the invention. Such cells are explanted and cultured m vi tro, according to methods well known to the skilled artisan. See e.g., U.S. Patent No. 5,580,781.
- Factor IX is isolated and purified from the in vi tro cell culture, according to methods well known to the skilled artisan.
- the present invention relates to a method of treating hemophilia B using Factor IX produced by the transgenic mammal of the invention.
- treatment includes the prevention or amelioration of the symptoms of hemophilia B m hemophilia B patients.
- Symptoms of hemophilia B include excessive bleeding upon injury, spontaneous bleeding, especially into weight-bearing joints, soft tissues and mucous membranes. Repeated bleeding into joints results m hemarthroses, which causes painful crippling arthropathy that necessitates joint replacement. Hematomas m soft tissues may result m "pseudo" tumors composed of necrotic coagulated blood. Such blood can obstruct, compress or rupture into adjacent organs and can lead to infection.
- Treatment according to the present invention includes the prevention or amelioration of bleeding and the related side effects found m hemophilia
- compositions comprising the Factor IX of the present invention.
- Such pharmaceutical composition preferably is Factor IX produced by the above described transgenic animal and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
- such pharmaceutical composition may be a stable liquid formulation of the Factor IX of the invention that can be administered by continuous infusion to provide a constant circulating level of the coagulation factor.
- the Factor IX produced by the transgenic animal of the present invention may be concentrated and sold m lyophilized form, according to methods well known to the skilled artisan.
- the Factor IX of the present invention which has been lyophilized may be reconstituted with sterile water for injection (WFI) and delivered m a composition of: 0.01 moles/liter hist dme, pH 7.05; 0.066 moles/liter sodium chloride; 3% mannitol .
- lyophilized Factor IX is reconstituted sterile WFI and delivered m a composition that includes: 0.04 units heparm/unit FIX; 1 milligram dextrose/unit Factor IX.
- stabilities of at least 30 days at 37°C and at least 365 days at 4°C are preferred. The present invention provides significant stability over that of these preparations reconstituted.
- any formulations according to the present invention are highly purified and free of viruses, p ⁇ ons, blood-group antibodies , immune complexes and phospholipids .
- Dosages or amounts that prevent or ameliorate the symptoms of hemophilia B are necessarily dictated by the clinical picture and severity of the disease. Because there is so much variability between patients and their clinical conditions, monitoring of coagulation function is essential m during any therapy using the Factor IX of the invention. As a rule, on initial treatment, one unit of Factor IX per kg body weight gives a mean rise in Factor IX activity of about 0.5 -1%, on continuation therapy, the mean rise is about 1-1.5% Examples of dosages for long term prophylaxis of symptoms of hemophilia B are about 18-30 IU/kg (1 X weekly) or about 9-15 IU/kg (2 X weekly) . Dosages also will vary depending upon the purpose of the treatment .
- Factor IX levels m such patients by 30 to 50% following the week of surgery.
- the Factor IX levels may need to be raised to 50% immediately prior to the surgery.
- Mild to moderate hemorrhages may be treated with a single administration of the Factor IX of the invention to raise Factor IX levels to 20 to 30%.
- it may be desirable to raise Factor IX levels to 30 to 50% and infusions may be required daily.
- the invention relates to a method of treating hemophilia B using Factor IX- producmg cells that are explanted from the transgenic mammal of the present invention.
