Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to gene therapy. More particularly, the present invention relates to a gene therapy material which includes a nucleic acid material and a carbohydrate as a delivery vehicle.
- Gene therapy involves the use of genetic material as a therapeutic agent. More specifically, in gene therapy a natural or synthetic gene or an analog thereof is introduced into a patient's tissue, where activation of the gene produces a therapeutic effect. Gene therapy shows great promise for curing various metabolic diseases resulting from a deficiency of, or malformation of, enzymes, proteins, neurotransmitters and other biological molecules. Gene therapy also shows significant promise for treating diseases such as cancer, wherein the introduced gene acts to induce apoptosis, which is programmed cell death, or to otherwise shrink tumors.
- a DNA plasmid including the therapeutic gene is injected into the patient.
- a DNA plasmid including the therapeutic gene is injected into the patient.
- Some limited success has been achieved when this naked DNA is directly injected into a tumor; however, problems arise in obtaining access to the tumor and providing a continued delivery of the therapeutic material to the tumor site.
- Attempts have been made to inject the naked DNA intravenously; however, such attempts have not been very successful.
- the therapeutic material is incorporated into a virus, typically in the form of a plasmid, and this virus is utilized to infect the target tissue.
- the system and methods should preferably be highly effective, simple to implement, the compounds should be highly stable in vivo, and reduce the need for repeated administration.
- a gene therapy material which includes a nucleic acid material and a carbohydrate wherein the carbohydrate preferably is a modified pectin. Also in accordance with the present invention, there is provided a gene therapy material including a nucleic acid material, a carbohydrate material associated with the nucleic acid material, and a protective coating disposed about the carbohydrate material. Also in accordance with the present invention, there is provided a method for treating a tumor of the type which has carbohydrate binding sites expressed on the surface thereof by providing a therapeutic material, incorporating the therapeutic material into a body of a modified pectin material so as to produce a therapeutic composition, and administering the therapeutic composition to a patient.
- carbohydrates can provide a very effective delivery vehicle for DNA and other such nucleic acid materials used in gene therapy. That is, a therapeutically effective amount of a therapeutic composition of the carbohydrate and the nucleic acid material can be administered to a patient or subject having a tumor to treat the tumor by causing a reduction and/or an elimination of the tumor from the patient.
- nucleic acid materials are meant to comprise genes, plasmids containing genes, other strands of DNA, RNA, and like materials. It has been found that when nucleic acid materials are mixed with, and preferably encapsulated by, carbohydrates, these materials are protected and efficiently delivered to target cells.
- genes can be delivered at one time and can be delivered in a single vector or in multiple vectors encapsulated by the carbohydrates of the present invention.
- the carbohydrate based gene therapy materials of the present invention have been found to be effective even when administered orally, although such materials could also be delivered intravenously or by direct injection to a target tissue (i.e. a tumor).
- carbohydrates shall refer to any hexose or pentose structure and shall specifically include complex carbohydrates as well as simple carbohydrates.
- One particularly preferred carbohydrate which can be employed in the present invention is a modified citrus pectin material, and such materials are disclosed in U.S. Patent Application Serial No.
- the modified citrus pectin material is non-toxic, stable for oral administration, has good uptake characteristics, stable in the circulation for days vs. hours, specifically targeted to tumors, and can be packaged for efficient uptake by tumor cells.
- the main chains of the modified citrus pectin have the structure
- patient or “subject” as used herein mean all animals including humans. Examples of patients or subjects include humans, rodents, and monkeys.
- a “therapeutically effective amount” is an amount of a compound and/or composition of the present invention, that when administered to a patient or subject, causes the reduction and/or the elimination of a tumor in the patient or subject.
- viral vectors such as modified or unmodified adenovirus, viral proteins or other portions of virus which carry gene therapy materials, can be encapsulated in carbohydrate materials in accord with the present invention. In this manner, the viral vectors are protected from inactivation and delivered more directly to target cells.
- Vectors are known or can be constructed by those skilled in the art and should contain all expression elements necessary to achieve the desired transcription of the sequences. Other beneficial characteristics can also be contained within the vectors such as mechanisms for recovery of the nucleic acids in a different form.
- Phagemids are a specific example of such beneficial vectors because they can be used either as plasmids or as bacteriophage vectors. Examples of other vectors include viruses such as bacteriophages, baculoviruses and retroviruses, DNA viruses such as adenoviruses or adeno- associated viruses (AAV),, cosmids, plasmids, liposomes and other recombination vectors.
- the vectors can also contain elements for use in either prokaryotic or eukaryotic host systems. One of ordinary skill in the art will know which host systems are compatible with a particular vector.
- the vectors in accordance with the present invention can be introduced into cells or tissues by any one of a variety of known methods within the art. Such methods can be found generally described in Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Springs Harbor Laboratory, New York (1989, 1992); in Ausubel et al., Cu ⁇ ent Protocols in Molecular Biology, John
- viruses are very specialized and typically infect and propagate in specific cell types. Thus, their natural specificity can be used to target the vectors to specific cell types in vivo or within a tissue or mixed culture of cells. Viral vectors can also be modified with specific receptors or ligands to alter target specificity through receptor mediated events.
- Additional features can be added to the vector to ensure its safety and/or enhance its therapeutic efficacy.
- Such features include, for example, markers that can be used to negatively select against cells infected with the recombinant virus.
- An example of such a negative selection marker is the TK gene described above that confers sensitivity to the antibiotic gancyclovir.
- Negative selection is therefore a means by which infection can be controlled because it provides inducible suicide through the addition of antibiotic. Such protection ensures that if, for example, mutations arise that produce altered forms of the viral vector or recombinant sequence, cellular transformation will not occur.
- Features that limit expression to particular cell types can also be included. Such features include, for example, promoter and regulatory elements that are specific for the desired cell type.
- recombinant viral vectors are useful for in vivo expression of a desired nucleic acid because they offer advantages such as lateral infection and targeting specificity. Lateral infection is inherent in the life cycle of, for example, retrovirus and is the process by which a single infected cell produces many progeny virions that bud off and infect neighboring cells.
- Retroviral vectors can be constructed to function either as infectious particles or to undergo only a single initial round of infection.
- the genome of the virus is modified so that it maintains all the necessary genes, regulatory sequences and packaging signals to synthesize new viral proteins and RNA. Once these molecules are synthesized, the host cell packages the RNA into new viral particles which are capable of undergoing further rounds of infection.
- the vector's genome is also engineered to encode and express the desired recombinant gene.
- the vector genome is usually mutated to destroy the viral packaging signal that is required to encapsulate the RNA into viral particles. Without such a signal, any particles that are formed will not contain a genome and therefore cannot proceed through subsequent rounds of infection.
- the specific type of vector will depend upon the intended application.
- the actual vectors are also known and readily available within the art or can be constructed by one skilled in the art using well-known methodology.
- the recombinant vector can be administered in several ways. If viral vectors are used, for example, the procedure can take advantage of their target specificity and consequently, do not have to be administered locally at the diseased site. However, local administration can provide a quicker and more effective treatment, administration can also be performed by, for example, intravenous or subcutaneous injection into the subject. Injection of the viral vectors into a spinal fluid can also be used as a mode of administration, especially in the case of neuro-degenerative diseases. Following injection, the viral vectors will circulate until they recognize host cells with the appropriate target specificity for injection.
- An alternate mode of administration of the gene therapy material of the present invention is by direct inoculation locally at the site of the disease or pathological condition or by inoculation into the vascular system supplying the tumor with nutrients.
- Local administration is advantageous because there is no dilution effect and, therefore, a smaller dose is required to achieve expression in a majority of the targeted cells. Additionally, local inoculation can alleviate the targeting requirement required with other forms of administration since a vector can be used that infects all cells in the inoculated area. If expression is desired in only a specific subset of cells within the inoculated area, then promoter and regulatory elements that are specific for the desired subset can be used to accomplish this goal.
- non-targeting vectors can be, for example, viral vectors, viral genome, plasmids, phagemids and the like.
- Transfection vehicles such as liposomes can also be used to introduce the non-viral vectors described above into recipient cells within the inoculated area. Such transfection vehicles are known by one skilled within the art.
- the nucleic acid material is mixed with the carbohydrate and is mildly sonicated. It is speculated that some degree of binding may take place in this combination, although binding is not believed to be essential to the invention.
- the nucleic acid material is encapsulated by a covering of the carbohydrate, and the carbohydrate-nucleic acid combination is most preferably configured as a relatively small micelle.
- the micelles are further protected with a coating material, and one particularly preferred coating comprises chitin or chitosan, and the chitin or chitosan may be in the form of relatively short chain oligomeric material.
- the tyrosine kinase gene has been found to be an effective gene therapy material for various cancers. CHK expression has been observed in many human primary tumors including ovarian carcinoma, breast carcinoma, astrocytoma, glioblastoma, pancreatic carcinoma, lung carcinoma, liver carcinoma, and renal carcinoma
- CHK gene is up-regulated in many cancers and can suppress tumor development. In some instances the gene appears to induce apoptosis.
- the gene has been found to antagonize growth-promoting signals mediated by Src and ErbB-2 tyrosine kinases.
- Applicant has further found that many tumor cells have sites thereon which actively bind carbohydrates thereto, and the CHK gene, via its stimulation of the production of tyrosine kinases, causes buildup of carbohydrate to occur on the surface of cancer cells. Based on these findings, Applicant has surmised that the CHK gene and carbohydrate materials of the present invention can interact beneficially to provide a gene therapy material for a variety of cancers.
- Other genes which can be used in the present invention include tumor suppressor genes including p53, angiostatic genes including angiostatin p60-hangio or endostatin p60-hendo, apoptotic genes including Bel and Bax, and/or mixtures thereof.

- a material comprising DNA, in the form of plasmids, incorporating the CHK gene.
- This DNA material is mixed with modified pectin of the type disclosed hereinabove and is sonicated to produce a micellular structure. These micelles are coated with chitosan.
- the material is administered orally to nude mice in which pancreatic tumors are previously established. It will be found that oral administration of this material can produce complete tumor remission in the mice. Tumor responsiveness to the orally administered material is hoped to be at least as good as the response to material directly injected into tumors. The orally administered material is easier to use, and provides a more sustained and widespread delivery. Oral administration of the DNA material alone, without the carbohydrate, should be ineffective.
