明細書 悪液質予防剤又は治療剤 技術分^ Description Cachexia preventive or therapeutic agent
本発明は、 破骨細胞形成抑制因子(Ost.eoclastogenesis Inhibitory Factor:以下、 F OC I Fj という,, )を有効成分とする悪液質予防剤、 又は治療剤に関する。 背景技術 TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an agent for preventing or treating cachexia comprising an osteoclast formation inhibitory factor (Ost. Eoclastogenesis Inhibitory Factor; hereinafter, referred to as FOCI Fj) as an active ingredient. Background art
恶:液赏は、 悪性腫瘍、 結核、 糖尿病、 血液疾患、 内分泌疾患、 感染症及び後 天性免疫不全症候群等の慢性病において発症する、 進行性の体重減少、 貧血、 浮 腫、 欲不振などを主症状とする全身性の疾患である(J. Parenteral and Enteral Nutri l ion. vol . 1 2, 286-298, (1988): American Journal of Medicine, vol.85, 289-291 . (1 988)参照)。 恶: Fluid mainly causes progressive weight loss, anemia, edema, anorexia, etc., which develop in chronic diseases such as malignant tumors, tuberculosis, diabetes, blood diseases, endocrine diseases, infectious diseases and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. It is a systemic disease that causes symptoms (see J. Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition. Vol. 12, 286-298, (1988): American Journal of Medicine, vol. 85, 289-291. (1988) ).
特に恶性腫瘍の患者が悪液質を発症した場合において、 抗腫瘍剤を投与し続 け抗脑瘍効架が現れたと しても、 むしろ抗腫瘍剤による骨髄毒性などの副作用が 加わり、 通常は悪液質の改善は認められない (J. Clinical Oncology, vol.12, 21 3-225. ( )ί )参照).. In particular, when a patient with a tumor develops cachexia, even if an antitumor agent continues to be administered after the administration of an antitumor agent, side effects such as bone marrow toxicity due to the antitumor agent are added. No improvement in cachexia was observed (see J. Clinical Oncology, vol. 12, 21 3-225. () Ί)).
また、 特に悪性腫瘍患者において悪液質が進行すると、 その患者の体力が著 しく減退するため、 --般的に毒性が強いとされている抗腫瘍剤による治療を続行 することができなくなり、悪性腫瘍の治療に支障をきたすこととなる (J. Clinical Oncology, vol .12, 213-225, (1994)参照)。 In addition, the progression of cachexia, especially in patients with malignant tumors, significantly reduces the patient's physical strength, making it impossible to continue treatment with antitumor drugs, which are generally considered highly toxic. This will hinder the treatment of malignant tumors (see J. Clinical Oncology, vol. 12, 213-225, (1994)).
さらに、 悪液質の症状を改善するために栄養補給を行う ことが多いが、 この ような処置によりかえつて悪性腫瘍の增大をもたらし、 患者の生存期間を短縮す る場合があった (J. Clinical Oncology, vol.12, 213-225, (1994)参照)。 In addition, nutritional supplements are often used to improve cachexia symptoms, but such treatments may instead lead to the growth of malignant tumors and shorten patient survival (J Clinical Oncology, vol. 12, 213-225, (1994)).
以上より、 悪液質の症状を改善する薬剤の開発が望まれている。 Thus, there is a need for the development of a drug that improves the symptoms of cachexia.

すなわち、 それら天然に存在する力 、 あるいは人工合成された蛋白質が、 OCIF 活性を有する限り、 それらの蛋白質はすべて本 明において使用され得る。 At one or more sites in the amino acid sequence of the OCIF protein consisting of the amino acid sequences of amino acids 1 to 380 of SEQ ID NO: 1, one or more amino acid residues are substituted or deleted. Lost, added or inserted proteins often also have OCIF activity. In the present invention, these proteins are referred to as OCIF mutants. That is, as long as these naturally occurring or artificially synthesized proteins have OCIF activity, all of those proteins can be used in the present invention.
