Definitions

  • This invention relates to methods for treating or preventing the skin photoaging process and skin cancer.
  • Photoaging or premature aging, is a process in which the skin changes in appearance as a result of repeated exposure to sunlight.
  • photoaging occurs in areas of habitual exposure, such as the scalp, face, ears, neck, chest, forearms, and hands.
  • the changes associated with photoaging include elastosis, atrophy, wrinkling, vascular changes (diffuse erythema, ecchymoses, and telangiectasias), pigmentary changes (lentigines, freckles, and areas of hypo- and hyper- pigmentation), and the development of seborrheic keratosis, actinic keratosis, comedones, and cysts.
  • chronologically-based aging of sun-protected skin results in skin that has thinned and lost elasticity, but which has otherwise remained smooth and unblemished.
  • UV ultraviolet
  • UVA/B middle UV
  • Oxygen free radicals which increase upon UV exposure, have been proposed to be mediators of the photoaging and carcinogenic effects of UV light (Reiger, Cosmetics and Toiletries 108: 43-56, 1993; Southorn PA, Free radicals in medicine. 1. Chemical nature and biologic reactions. Mayo Clin. Proc. 63: 391, 1988). Free radicals are highly reactive molecules with unpaired electrons in the outer orbital. While free radicals perform some beneficial tasks, such as participating in the destruction of microorganisms and cancer cells, excessive levels can lead to DNA mutagenesis and damage to cellular structure (Southorn, supra).
  • MMPs Matrix metalloproteases
  • AP-1 and NF- ⁇ B are increased, which, in turn, increase expression of MMPs, such as collagenase, 92 kD gelatinase, and stromelysin-1 (Fisher et al., N. Engl. J. Med. 337: 1419-1428, 1997).
  • the kallikrein-kinin pathway includes kallikreins and bradykinins.
  • Kallikreins are serine proteases, and are divided into two principal groups: tissue kallikreins (EC number 3.4.21.35) and plasma kallikrein (EC number 3.4.21.34).
  • Plasma kallikrein has a molecular weight of about 100 kD, circulates in the blood in a precursor form called prekallikrein, and is principally involved in the activation of the blood clotting and complement enzyme cascades.
  • Tissue kallikreins otherwise known as glandular or organ kallikreins, are glycoproteins with a molecular weight ranging from 27-40 kD. They have been isolated from various tissue and body fluids including saliva, intestine, lung, brain, plasma, and the sweat glands of the skin. Their substrates include procollagenase, kininogen, proinsulin, prorenin, BAM 22P atrial natriuretic factor, low density lipoprotein, atriopeptigen, and tissue plasminogen activator.
  • the major effectors of kallikrein activation are bradykinin, Lys- bradykinin (kallidin), and Met-Lys bradykinin, which are produced by kallikrein cleavage of kininogen.
  • Kininogen is a hepatic-derived protein which circulates in the blood in a low molecular weight form and a high molecular weight form. Tissue kallikreins are relatively specific for cleavage of the low molecular weight form; plasma kallikrein has greater specificity for the high molecular weight form.
  • Bradykinins are autocoids, that is, they are hormones that are synthesized locally and act locally. This local effect is due to the short half-life (less than 30 seconds) of bradykinins and their almost complete destruction in the first pass through the pulmonary circulation (Ferreira and Vane, Chemotherap. 30: 317, 1967). In addition to playing a role in inflammation, bradykinins also lower blood pressure, participate in blood clotting and complement reactions, mediate rhinitis, and cause pain.
  • bradykinins The major effects induced by bradykinins are vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, and inflammation.
  • the inflammatory process involves the infiltration of neutrophils, macrophages, lymphocytes, mast cells, and other lamina proprira cells, including fibroblasts, to the site of inflammation. These inflammatory cells then function to synthesize and release several arachidonic acid-related mediators of inflammation, such as prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and thromboxanes.
  • the invention features a method of treating or preventing photoaging of the skin.
  • the method includes administering a compound to a patient that inhibits one or more components of the kallikrein-kinin pathway in an amount sufficient to reduce or prevent a symptom of photoaging.
  • the symptom of photoaging is mediated by activation of the pathway, and can be caused by inflammation, vasodilation, or increased vascular permeability in the skin.
  • symptoms of photoaging that can be reduced or prevented by the method of the invention include elastosis, atrophy, wrinkling, vascular changes, pigmentary changes, seborrheic keratosis, actinic keratosis, comedones, and cysts.

  • the invention also includes a method of treating or preventing skin cancer.
  • the method includes administering a compound to a patient that inhibits one or more components of the kallikrein-kinin pathway in an amount sufficient to reduce or prevent a symptom of skin cancer.
  • the symptom of skin cancer is mediated by activation of the pathway, and can be caused by inflammation, vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, and generation of nitric oxide and oxygen free radicals in the skin.

  • the kallikrein-kinin pathway is a novel mediator of photoaging and skin cancer: A rationale for treatment
  • the activation of the kallikrein-kinin pathway is due, at least in part, to the UV component of sunlight.
  • the UV effect may be enhanced by the local increases in skin temperature that typically accompany exposure to sunlight and cause an increase in kallikrein release and bradykinin production in the skin (see, e.g., Regoli et al., Pharmacological Reviews 32: 1980; Bhoola et al., Pharmacological Reviews 44: 1992).
  • the sun- induced increase in kallikrein activity in the skin increases the formation of bradykinins, resulting in vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, and inflammation in the skin.
  • the inflammation is due to a cytokine-induced migration of inflammatory cells, including mast cells, basophils, monocytes, macrophages, and leukocytes, to the site. These cells, in turn, release oxygen free radicals, nitric oxide, and extracellular proteases at the site.
  • inflammatory cells including mast cells, basophils, monocytes, macrophages, and leukocytes.
  • the increase in oxygen free radicals induces the following: DNA mutagenesis, which causes skin cancers; the disruption of the maturation of keratinocytes in the skin, which causes actinic keratosis, a symptom of photoaging as well as skin cancer; reactive changes in melanocytes, which result in the photoaging symptoms of hypo- and hyper-pigmentation; and damage to the structure and function of skin cells and the extracellular connective tissue matrix of the skin, which causes the photoaging symptoms of skin atrophy and wrinkling.
  • Oxygen free radicals are normally located within the intracellular compartment of inflammatory cells and they mediate the bactericidal activity of cells. However, once these reactive species are released from the inflammatory cells into the extracellular space of the skin, they induce lipid peroxidation and oxidation of protein sulfhydryl groups, and cross the plasma membrane to induce DNA damage in skin cells. These effects cause damage and degeneration of both the cells of the skin as well as the extracellular connective tissue matrix, resulting in DNA mutagenesis (skin cancer), changes in pigmentation (photoaging), and atrophy and wrinkling (photoaging). Nitric oxide released from the inflammatory cells has similar damaging effects on skin tissue.
  • Symptoms of photoaging that are related to damage to the skin's connective tissue matrix are also caused by the infiltration of inflammatory cells at the site of exposure and their release of extracellular proteases, such as procollagenase, elastase, and cathepsin G. Once activated (for example, procollagenase is cleaved to form the active collagenase), these proteases degrade the connective tissue network, especially when their presence is not counterbalanced by antiproteases, such as the tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs).
  • TRIPs tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases
  • the effect of procollagenase released by kallikrein-kinin pathway activation is potentiated by the concurrent activation of kallikreins, because kallikreins recognize procollagenase as a substrate and convert it to collagenase.
  • the sun-induced activation of the kallikrein-kinin pathway also causes other symptoms of photoaging via inflammation, vasodilation, or increased vascular permeability.
  • the repetitive sun-induced activation of the kallikrein-kinin pathway causes vascular abnormalities in the skin, such as the formation of diffuse erythema, telangiectasia, and ecchymosis.
  • the chronic inflammation that results from repetitive kallikrein activation causes increased skin coarseness (elastosis) due to the abnormal deposition of elastin material that changes the functional properties of the connective tissue matrix.
  • the treatment of the present invention is based on my development, elaborated herein, of the causal relationship between the local, sun-induced activation of the kallikrein-kinin pathway and the development of symptoms of photoaging and skin cancer.
  • Activation of this pathway causes these symptoms, especially after repeated sun exposure, through inflammation- related changes in the skin, such as increased inflammatory cell infiltration, increased oxygen free radicals, increased nitric oxide, and increased matrix metalloproteases, as well as through vascular changes, such as vasodilation and increased vascular permeability.
  • an inhibitor of the kallikrein-kinin pathway provides effective therapy to treat or prevent symptoms of photoaging or skin cancer.
  • the present invention provides a method of treating or preventing photoaging or skin cancer in a patient by administering a compound that inhibits the kallikrein-kinin pathway in the skin.
  • an inhibitor of the kallikrein-kinin pathway includes those agents that reduce the effect of a component of the pathway, for example, a tissue kallikrein, plasma kallikrein, a bradykinin, or an enzyme involved in arachidonic acid metabolism (for example, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)) by inhibiting or antagonizing the enzymatic activity of the component or by reducing the protein level of the component.
  • NSAID nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug
  • This inhibition results in a reduction of the inflammation, vasodilation, or vascular permeability, or other kallikrein-kinin pathway-related changes in the skin, that normally occur with activation of the kallikrein-kinin pathway in the skin.
  • a kallikrein inhibitor that is used for treatment is a tissue kallikrein inhibitor. Inhibition of a tissue kallikrein is predicted to be particularly effective in the treatment or prevention of sun-induced photoaging and skin cancer, given their increased release following thermal stimulation and their colocalization with the bradykinin precursor, kininogen (see, e.g., Regoli et al., Pharmacological Reviews 32: 1980; Bhoola et al., Pharmacological Reviews 44: 1992). If a bradykinin inhibitor is used, it is preferably administered topically.
  • bradykinin is an autocoid that acts only locally
  • topical administration may be used to achieve a therapeutic dose in the skin to inhibit the pathological action of bradykinin without increasing the systemic concentration to a level that would cause adverse systemic side effects.
  • the treatment contemplates the use of one, or more than one, inhibitor. If multiple inhibitors are used, they can be directed against one or more pathway component. This inhibition of multiple components of the kallikrein-kinin pathway has the advantage of producing an additive or potentiated therapeutic effect and can include a treatment using both a kallikrein inhibitor and a bradykinin inhibitor.
  • the inhibitory effect of a compound can be assessed, for example, by measuring the activity or level of a component of the kallikrein-kinin pathway in the skin, by assessing the appearance or degree of a symptom of photoaging or skin cancer, or by measuring a kallikrein-kinin pathway-related change in the skin, for example, inflammation, inflammatory cell infiltration, oxygen free radicals, nitric oxide, inflammatory cells, MMPs, vasodilation, or vascular permeability.
  • the inhibitor does not completely inhibit the kallikrein-kinin pathway, but, rather, partially inhibits the pathway to reduce or eliminate the effects of sun-induced activation, without affecting other kallikrein-kinin pathway effects that occur in non-exposed skin or in other tissues.
  • a series of doses of a kallikrein inhibitor, a bradykinin inhibitor, or an NSAID can be administered to determine which dose most effectively inhibits the sun-induced effect, without causing significant undesirable side effects.

  • a compound can be administered before or during exposure, to assess whether it can prevent a kallikrein-kinin pathway mediated effect, or it can be administered after exposure, to determine whether it can reverse the effect.
  • a compound that is an effective inhibitor is one that changes this value back towards the value observed in nonexposed skin in a statistically significant manner. Examples of such assays are provided below.
