Definitions
- the present invention relates to a differential display method for discovering novel secreted and/or transmembrane proteins.
- Secreted and transmembrane located proteins are particularly important for cell processes and play an important role in determining its phenotype. Such proteins are singularly critical molecules and participate in a multitude of biological processes including cell growth, cell proliferation, cell differentiation and cell death. These proteins act as mediators for the transfer of signals from the external environment into the cell itself, thereby modulating the genes expression.
- the secreted protein insulin can bind to the insulin receptor located on the cell membrane and thus alter gene expression within the insulin-stimulated cell.
- the secreted growth hormone protein binds to the growth hormone receptor, thereby initiating a signaling cascade, which ultimately results in alterations in gene expression profiles and changes in the cell phenotype.
- erbB 2 protein An example for a membrane-bound therapeutic protein is erbB 2 protein.
- the erbB 2 cell membrane-located receptor is overexpressed in a subset of human breast cancers, which make it an attractive target for cytotoxic antibodies, that bind to erbB 2 expressing cells and destroying them.
- the secreted cytokines for example are an important class of secreted proteins that can act on specific cells to elicit a particular physiological response, such as for example, without being limited, secretion of proteins, which are necessary for differentiation, cell proliferation, cell death or inflammation processes.
- Cytokines namely, lymphokines, hematopoietins, interleukins, Colony Stimulating Factor (CSF) are stimulating factors and they are potential therapeutic agents.
- CSF Colony Stimulating Factor
- erythropoietin hematopoietic cytokine
- G-CSF and GM-CSF cytokines
- novel secreted cytokines and membrane-bound proteins were identified by measuring a particular cell for a measurable biological response.
- the method of discovering new proteins has been limited by the availability of the assays, and if a novel cytokine or a membrane protein has an activity that is immeasurable by a known assay, these proteins remain undetectable.
- 5,536,637 teach methods that enable the identification of cDNAs encoding for a signal sequence, which is capable of directing the secretion of a particular protein from certain cell types. These methods enable the identification of secreted proteins. However, they failed to discover the biological functions of these proteins and to identify the pathological states in which they may play important roles.
- This invention provides in one embodiment a differential display method for identifying at least one secreted or transmembrane protein which overcomes the limitations and disadvantages of prior methods known in the art and will be cost effective and time effective.
- This invention provides in one embodiment a differential display method for identifying at least one secreted or transmembrane protein comprising the following steps: obtaining mRNA from at least two samples; synthesizing cDNA from said mRNA of each sample; contacting said cDNA from each sample with at least one first primer, said first primer hybridizes to a oligonucleic sequence coding for a leucine-rich motif, and at least one second primer, so as to form a cDNA- hybrid molecules; amplifying said cDNA-hybrid molecules, so as to obtain an amplified products; detecting said amplified products; and comparing said amplified products from each sample thereby identifying a distinctive amplified products coding for at least one secreted or transmembrane protein.
- This invention provides in another embodiment, a method of screening samples for the presence of at least one secreted or transmembrane protein comprising the following steps: contacting said cDNA from each sample with at least one first primer, said first primer hybridizes to a oligonucleic sequence coding for a leucine-rich motif, and at least one second oligonucleotide primer, so as to form a cDNA- hybrid molecules; amplifying said cDNA-hybrid molecules, so as to obtain an amplified products; detecting said amplified products; and comparing said amplified products from said sample to amplified products derived from known samples thereby identifying distinctive amplified products coding for a at least one secreted or transmembrane protein.
- Figure 1 is a presentation of the insert of a differentially displayed RT-PCR product.
- Figure 2 is a single peptide sequence and nucleotide sequence of selected secreted proteins.
- This invention provides a differential display method and a method of screening samples which selectively focus on mRNA molecules which code for transmembrane and/or secreted protein molecules that are differentially expressed in diverse conditions.
- the following described method is a unique, simple and time-effective method that enables to simultaneously determine a number of secreted and transmembrane proteins, which play key roles in defined biological processes and pathologies.
- a "secreted” protein is one which, when expressed in a suitable host cell, is transported across the cell membrane into the extracellular environment, including transport as a result of signal sequences in its amino acid terminus.
- "Secreted” proteins include without limitation proteins secreted wholly (e.g., soluble proteins) or partially from the cell in which they are expressed.
- “Secreted” proteins also include without limitation, proteins which are transported across any membrane inside the cell.
- transmembrane protein is a protein that has hydrophobic domains which enable the anchoring of the protein to the membrane.
- downstream antisense primer is refers hereinabove and in the claims section to a primer which is in the 3' direction with regard to reference sequence.
- upstream sense primer is refers hereinabove and in the claims section to a primer which is in the 5' direction with regard to reference sequence.
- sense relates to the DNA strand that is identical to the RNA fragment from which the protein is translated.
- oligonucleic acid refers to polynucleotides such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and, where appropriate, ribonucleic acid (RNA).
- DNA deoxyribonucleic acid
- RNA ribonucleic acid
- the term should also be understood to include, as equivalents, derivatives, variants and analogs of either RNA or DNA made from nucleotide analogs, and, as applicable to the embodiment being described, single (sense or antisense) and double-stranded polynucleotides.
- the invention is based on the occurrence of particular amino acids within the hydrophobic sequences located in transmembrane and signal peptide domains of transmembrane and secreted proteins. More particularly, these hydrophobic sequences contain leucine-rich motif, i.e a string of either two, three, four or more leucines (see for example, Figure 1 and Figure 2). Although there are six different codons for leucine, a search of leucine codon usage within the hydrophobic domain of the signal peptide of known secreted proteins, unambiguously demonstrates marked preferred leucine codon usage within the signal peptide, which is restricted in most cases to the codons CTC, CTG, or more repeated units (see Figure 2).
- the codons for other amino acids located in this area consist of similar oligonucleic sequence.
- This fact enables anyone who is skilled in the art to use a downstream antisense primer or upstream sense primer which are complementary to an oligonucleic sequence coding for a string of leucines and have a good probability of hybridizing to a stretch of nucleotides within an mRNA species coding for a transmembrane or secreted protein containing a string of leucine residues and other hydrophobic amino acid residues.
- Partial cDNA molecules complementary to mRNA species coding for secreted and/or transmembrane proteins can thus be amplified by PCR using downstream antisense primer which includes at least CAG or GAG unit, where
- C and G nucleotides are randomly exchangeable (SEQ ID: No 1), or using upstream sense primer which includes at least CTG or CTC unit.
- upstream sense oligonucleotide sequence in one embodiment is planned to correspond at its 3' terminus to the initiating methionine residue which is located upstream (usually within a distance of 5-30 amino acids) to the hydrophobic sequence of the signal peptide. As there is only a single codon (ATG), which codes for methionine, the upstream sense primer will include at its 3' end the sequence ATG. To allow for hybridization of the upstream sense primer a minimum length of ten nucleotides is required.
- the upstream primer is synthesized with two invariant nucleic acids at the -1 and -2 positions, relative to the A in the 3' terminal ATG.
- a total of 16 different upstream sense primers are synthesized, with each position at the remaining five 5' terminal nucleic acid residues (positions -3 to -7) consisting of a mixture of all four nucleic acids (see SEQ.ID No: 2-17).
- the upstream sense or the downstream antisense oligonucleotide primers contains a nucleotide sequence coding for a consensus motif found in transmembrane proteins.
- said consensus motif is Trp-Ser-X-Trp-Ser in which X may be any amino acid residue.
- the downstream antisense primer coding for Trp-Ser-X-Trp-Ser is the oligonucleotide sequence of SEQ ID No.18.
- the upstream sense primer comprising the oligonucleotide sequence of SEQ ID No.19.
- the downstream antisence primer comprises at least one CAG or GAG nucleotide unit and the upstream sense primer comprises the oligonucleotide sequence of SEQ ID No. 19.
- downstream antisence primer comprises the oligonucleotide sequence of SEQ ID No. 18 and the upstream sense primer comprises at least one CTG or CTC nucleotide unit.
- downstream antisence primer comprises at least one CAG or GAG nucleotide unit and the upstream sense primer comprises at least ATG nucleotide sequence.
- the method of screening samples for the presence of at least one secreted or transmembrane protein comprises the following steps: obtaining mRNA from at least two samples; synthesizing cDNA from said mRNA of each sample; contacting said cDNA from each sample with at least one first primer, said first primer hybridizes to a oligonucleic sequence coding for a leucine-rich motif, and at least one second oligonucleotide primer, so as to form a cDNA- hybrid molecules; amplifying said cDNA-hybrid molecules, so as to obtain an amplified products; separating the said amplified products, detecting said amplified products; and comparing said amplified product from each sample thereby identifying a distinctive amplified products coding for at least one secreted or transmembrane protein.
- obtaining mRNA refers to either receive mRNA or extract mRNA from any sample by methods which are detailed below or other methods known in the art.
- the sample is derived from a plant or any other organism including human or a mammal and can be without being limited a tissue biopsy, a cell or blood.
- the cell is a cancer cell.
- the cancer cell is derived from lung cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer or a colon cancer.
- cDNA is a complementary DNA that is made by using the enzyme reverse transcriptase and an RNA template.
- the step of “synthesizing” refer to step of building cDNA complementary to the mRNA template.
- the step of "contacting" refers to adding the cDNA from each sample to the primers in appropriate conditions, so as to allow adjoining of the primers with the cDNA.
- the step of "amplifying" refer to the selective replication of a cDNA in greater number than usual.
- the step of "separating” refer to the step of separation of the products using for example, gel electrophoresis.
- the step of "detecting” refer to the step of noticing, which is done for example by visualization of the amplified product's bands.
- the step of "comparing" refers to the step of searching for differences between the amplified products derived from the at least two samples.
- the sample can be a tissue biopsy sample or a sample of blood, plasma, serum or the like.
- the sample should be treated to extract the mRNA molecules contained therein.
- RNA refers to an oligonucleic acid in which the sugar is ribose, as opposed to deoxyribose in DNA. RNA is intended to include any nucleic acid, which can be entrapped by ribosomes and translated into protein.
- mRNA refers to messenger RNA molecules.
- RNA can be extracted from cells or tissues according to methods known in the art.
- RNA can be extracted from monolayers of mammalian cells grown in tissue culture, cells in suspension or from mammalian tissue.
- RNA can be extracted from such sources by, e.g., treating the cells with proteinase K in the presence of SDS.
- RNA is extracted by organic solvents.
- RNA is extracted by differential precipitation to separate high molecular weight RNA from other nucleic acids.
- RNA can also be extracted from a specific cellular compartment, e.g., nucleus or the cytoplasm.
- nucleus is either isolated for purification of
- RNA therefrom, or the nucleus is discarded for purification of cytoplasmic RNA.
- RNA can be extracted by a method using guanidium thiocyanate and purification of the RNA on a cesium chloride gradient. Accordingly, tissue or cells are lysed in the presence of guanidium thiocyanate and the cell lysate is loaded on a cushion of cesium chloride (CsCI) and centrifuged at high speed, such that the RNA is recovered in the pellet and the DNA is left in the supernatant after the centrifugation. The RNA can then be recovered by ethanol precipitation.
- CsCI cesium chloride
- This method is set forth in details, e.g., in Molecular Cloning A Laboratory Manual, 2nd Ed., ed. by Sambrook, Fritsch and Maniatis (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press: 1989).
- RNAase free conditions In order to prevent RNA from being degraded by nucleases, e.g., by RNAases, that may be present, the extraction of RNA, and reactions involving RNA are performed in "RNAase free conditions".
- RNAase free conditions Various methods known in the art can be used to maintain RNAase free conditions.
- potent denaturing agents such as guanidium hydrochloride and guanidium thiocyanate can be used to denature and thereby inactivate nucleases.
- Reducing agents e.g., ⁇ -mercaptoethanol, can also be used to inactivate ribonucleases. This combination of agents is particularly useful when isolating RNA from tissues rich in ribonucleases, e.g., pancreas
- RNAase inhibitors also referred to herein as "protein inhibitor of RNAases", e.g., Rnasin RTM which can be obtained, from Promega Corp. (Madison, Wis.) (e.g., Cat #N2514).
- Protein inhibitors of RNAases are preferably not included during extraction of RNA using potent denaturing agents (since these will also denature the protein inhibitor of RNAases). However, it is preferable to include such protein inhibitors of RNAases during RNA extraction using more gentle methods of cell lysis and RNAse inhibitors are preferably present at all stages during the subsequent purification of RNA.
- RNAases Yet another reagent that can be added to a solution containing RNA to prevent degradation of the RNA include vanadyl-ribonucleoside complexes.
- the complexes formed between the oxovanadium IV ion and any of the four ribonucleosides are transition-state analogs that bind to many RNAases and inhibit their activity almost completely.
- the four vanadyl-ribonucleoside complexes are preferably added to intact cells and preferably used at a concentration of 10 mM during all stages or RNA extraction and purification.
- macaloid is used to absorb RNAases.
- cDNA is synthesize from the mRNA. This step is performed, without being limited, by Reverse Transcriptase polymerization chain reaction (RT/PCR), which produce single stranded DNA molecule using RNA as a template.
- RT/PCR Reverse Transcriptase polymerization chain reaction
- the technique of reverse transcription can be used to amplify cDNA transcribed from mRNA encoding for secreted and transmembrane proteins.
- the method of RT/PCR is well known in the art (for example, see Watson and Fleming,) and can be performed as follows: Total cellular RNA is isolated by, for example, the standard guanidium isothiocyanate method and the total RNA is reverse transcribed.
- the reverse transcription method involves synthesis of DNA on a template of RNA using a reverse transcriptase enzyme and a 3' end primer. Typically, the primer contains an oligo(dT) sequence.
- the cDNA is than contacting with at least one downstream antisense primer and at least one upstream sense primer that were described above to form a cDNA hybrid.
- cDNA-hybrid is refer hereinabove in the specification and in the claims section to cDNA which is hybridizes to the first and the second primers that were defined above.
- the cDNA-hybrid is then amplified using the PCR method and the above described first and second specific primers. (Belyavsky et al, Nucl Acid Res 17:2919-2932, 1989; Krug and Berger, Methods in Enzymology, Academic Press, N.Y., Vol.152, pp. 316-325, 1987 which are incorporated by reference).
- An oligonucleic acid molecule is "hybridizable" to another oligonucleic acid molecule, such as a cDNA, genomic DNA, or RNA, when a single stranded form of the oligonucleic acid molecule can anneal to the other oligonucleic acid molecule under the appropriate conditions of temperature and solution ionic strength (see Sambrook et al.). The conditions of temperature and ionic strength determine the "stringency" of the hybridization.
- low stringency hybridization conditions corresponding to a Tm of 55°C, can be used, (e.g., 5 times SSC, 0.1% SDS, 0.25% milk, and no formamide; or 30% formamide, 5 times SSC, 0.5% SDS).
- Moderate stringency hybridization conditions correspond to a higher Tm, e.g., 40% formamide, with 5 times or 6 times SCC.
- High stringency hybridization conditions correspond to the highest Tm e.g., 50% formamide, 5 times or 6 times SCC.
- Hybridization requires that the two oligonucleic acids contain complementary sequences, although depending on the stringency of the hybridization, mismatches between bases are possible.
- the appropriate stringency for hybridizing oligonucleic acids depends on the length of the oligonucleic acids and the degree of complementation, variables well known in the art. For hybridization with shorter oligonucleic acids, i.e., oligonucleotides, the position of mismatches becomes more important, and the length of the oligonucleotide determines its specificity (see Sambrook et al., 11.7-11.8). In one embodiment the length for a hybridizable oligonucleic is at least about 10 nucleotides.
- the hybridization conditions are as described in the methods section: step 1- 94°C - 4 minutes, step 2- 40 cycles of 94°C for 30 seconds, 42°C for 60 seconds, 72°C for 20 seconds and step 3- 72°C for 5 minutes.
- the Polymerase Chain Reaction method is performed using the first (the downstream antisense primer) and the second (the upstream sense primer) that are complementary to the two termini regions of the DNA segment to be amplified.
- the upstream and downstream primers are typically more than 10 base pairs in length and hybridize to the termini regions for replication of the oligonucleotide sequence. Therefore, the primers need not reflect the exact sequence of the template, but must be sufficiently complementary to selectively hybridize with the strand being amplified.
- the polymerization is catalyzed by a DNA-Taq-Polymerase in the presence of four deoxynucleotide triphosphates, one of which is radioactive or labeled with fluorescent markers, or nucleotide analogs to produce double-stranded DNA molecules.
- the double strands are then separated by any denaturing method including physical, chemical or enzymatic. Commonly, the method of physical denaturation is used involving heating the oligonucleic, typically to temperatures from about 80°C to 105°C for times ranging from less than 1 to 10 minutes. The process is repeated for the desired number of cycles (as is exemplified in the example section).
- the resulting amplified product is subjected to gel electrophoresis or other size separation techniques and may be detected by ethidum bromide staining (Sambrook, et al., 1989).
- Detection of the resulting bands is usually accomplished by exposure of the gel to X-ray film (autoradiography).
- the amplified products that are obtained from the two samples are compared.
- the distinctive amplified products which refer hereinabove in the specifications and in the claims are amplified products which appear in one sample and not in the other or alternatively are over expressed in one sample but not in the other.
- the step of comparing the separated PCR products from the at least two samples is conducted as follows: Most of the bands are excepted to appear in the at least two samples and with equal intensity. However some of the bands may appear in one sample and not in the other or may appear in both but with different expression level. This different bands can be isolated from the gel, subcloned and sequenced.
- sequence oligonucleotides are submitted to an homology search in order to find their identity to other known polypeptide sequences.
- Identity is a relationship between two or more polypeptide sequences or two or more polynucleotide sequences, as the case may be, as determined by comparing the sequences.
- identity also means the degree of sequence relatedness between polypeptide or polynucleotide sequences, as the case may be, as determined by the match between strings of such sequences.
- Identity can be readily calculated by known methods, including but not limited to those described in (Computational Molecular Biology, Lesk, A.
- Methods to determine identity are designed to give the largest match between the sequences tested. Moreover, methods to determine identity are codified in publicly available computer programs. Computer program methods to determine identity between two sequences include, but are not limited to, the GCG program package (Devereux, J., et al., Nucleic Acids Research 12(1): 387 (1984)), BLASTP, BLASTN, and FASTA (Altschul, S. F. et al., J. Molec. Biol. 215: 403-410 (1990). The BLAST X program is publicly available from NCBI and other sources (BLAST Manual, Altschul, S., et al, NCBI NLM NIH Bethesda, Md.
- Any method known in the art for detecting proteins can be used. Such methods include, but are not limited to immunodiffusion, immunoelectrophoresis, immunochemical methods, binder-ligand assays, immunohistochemical techniques, agglutination and complement assays (for example see Basic and Clinical Immunology, Sites and Terr, eds., Appleton & Lange, Norwalk, Conn, pp 217-262, 1991 which is incorporated by reference).

Uses or activities described for proteins of the present invention may be provided by administration or use of such proteins or by administration or use of polynucleotides encoding such proteins (such as, for example, in gene therapies or vectors suitable for introduction of DNA).
- an altered biological system refers to a system that has been modified from its present status such that the component cells of the system will engage strategies to bring the system into its original state alternatively, the "altered cells” are forced to produce proteins that are quantitatively or qualitatively differ from those produce by "normal cells”.
- Such strategies invariably involve secreted and/or membrane proteins.

- EXAMPLE 1 In the following described experiment total RNA was isolated from two different cell lines: (a) from human T cells and (b) from human mammary epithelial cells in order to identify new and/or differentially expressed secreted and transmembrane proteins.
- RNA extraction from cells The Gibco/BRL TRIZOL RNA kit was used to isolate RNA from the cell.
- Reverse transcriptase reaction mRNA - 50 ⁇ g/ml, final concentration. ddH2O - to complete to a final volume of 20 ⁇ l.
- Oligo dT primer 15mer
- 10 ⁇ M final concentration
- the mixture was kept at 4°C.
- Step 2- 40 cycles of- 94°C -30 seconds 42°C -60 seconds
- Step 3- 72°C - 5 minutes.
- Loading sample 1 volume sample + 4 volumes loading buffer (90% formamide in TBE).
- the gel was marked with radioactive marker ink for later alignment.
- the gel was exposed to film at -70°C for about 3 days.
- the desired band was cut from the gel and placed in an Eppendorf tube.
- the DNA band was eluted by adding 100 ⁇ l of double distilled water and boiling for 5 minutes.
- Precipitation of the eluted DNA is performed by adding 20 ⁇ g glycogen followed by the addition of ethanol and sodium acetate pH 5 to final concentrations of
- TAE Tris-acetate-EDTA
- RNA from each cell type was transcribed separately, by reverse transcriptase, into cDNA using, as a universal primer Oligo-dT composed of 15 residues of thymidylic acid. Aliquots of the cDNA were then distributed to sixteen separate tubes. Each tube contained, in addition to the four oligonucleics (wherein one was radioactively labeled), an identical downstream antisense primer and one of sixteen possible upstream sense primers (see specifications for a detailed explanation).
- the downstream antisense primer sequence contained four tandem antisense codons devised to be complementary to four tandem leucine codons of the sequence CTG/C where the third oligonucleic of the codon is either G or C.
- this downstream antisense codon contained a 3' terminal EcoR1 site (GAATTC) in order to facilitate subsequent cloning of the selected PCR product into a convenient vector.
- the upstream sense primers (sixteen in total) were terminated at their 3' terminus with the sequence ATG, whereas the two nucleic acids immediately upstream to the terminal ATG consisted of all 16 possible permutations (primers SEQ. ID Nos. 2-17).
- the upstream oligonucleic was synthesized as a decamer in which the first 5 positions (starting at the 5' terminus) consisted of a mixture of all four nucleic acid s at each position.
- the cDNA was aliquoted into each of sixteen tubes and then subjected to 40 PCR cycles (see Methods).
- the resulting PCR products were subsequently resolved by acrylamide gel electrophoresis under denaturing conditions and the radioactive bands were visualized by exposing the gel to X-ray film.
- the autoradiograph was then scrutinized in order to identify bands appearing in the one sample but not in the other. These bands should derive from mRNAs coding for transmembrane/secreted proteins expressed in the one test sample and not in the other.
- transmembrane proteins Of the five differentially expressed sequences thus analyzed two were found to be part of known mRNAs coding for transmembrane proteins- one is the nip3 protein and the other is a ribosome binding protein (see Figure 1 for nucleic acids sequences and the inferred translated amino sequence of the inserts). Notably, both of these proteins are in fact transmembrane proteins- the nip3 protein is bound to the mitochondrial membrane and functions as a proapoptotic protein.
- the ribosome binding protein is a non-glycosylated membrane protein characteristic of rough microsomes and is believed to play a role in the ribosome-membrane association.
- the protein data bank did not provide perfect matches for the additional three differentially expressed PCR, which may be related to yet unidentified transmembrane/secreted proteins.
