Definitions
- Type 1 diabetes mellitus can be divided into two clinical syndromes, Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes mellitus.
- Type 1 or insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM)
- IDDM insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus
- Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by the extensive loss of beta cells in the pancreatic Islets of Langerhans, which produce insulin. As these cells are progressively destroyed, the amount of secreted insulin decreases, eventually leading to hyperglycemia (abnormally high level of glucose in the blood) when the amount of secreted insulin drops below the level required for euglycemia (normal blood glucose level).
- hyperglycemia abnormally high level of glucose in the blood
- euglycemia normal blood glucose level
- Type 2 diabetes also referred to as non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NTDDM)
- NTDDM non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus
- Type 2 diabetes develops when muscle, fat and liver cells fail to respond normally to insulin. This failure to respond (called insulin resistance) may be due to reduced numbers of insulin receptors on these cells, or a dysfunction of signaling pathways within the cells, or both.
- the beta cells initially compensate for this insulin resistance by increasing their insulin output. Over time, these cells become unable to produce enough insulin to maintain normal glucose levels, indicating progression to Type 2 diabetes.
- Type 2 diabetes is brought on by a combination of poorly understood genetic and acquired risk factors - including a high-fat diet, lack of exercise, and aging.
- Type 2 diabetes has become an epidemic, driven by increases in obesity and a sedentary lifestyle, widespread adoption of western dietary habits, and the general aging of the populations in many countries.
- an estimated 30 million people worldwide had diabetes - by 2000, this figure had increased 5-fold, to an estimated 154 million people.
- the number of people with diabetes is expected to double between now and 2025, to about 300 million.
- Type 2 diabetes is a complex disease characterized by defects in glucose and lipid metabolism. Typically there are perturbations in many metabolic parameters including increases in fasting plasma glucose levels, free fatty acid levels and triglyceride levels, as well as a decrease in the ratio of HDL/LDL. As discussed above, one of the principal underlying causes of diabetes is the inability of beta cells to produce sufficient insulin to maintain glucose levels. Therefore, an important therapeutic goal in the treatment of diabetes is therefore to increase insulin production. The present invention addresses this and other problems.
- the present invention provides methods of identifying an agent that induces glucose-stimulated insulin production in an animal, hi some embodiments, the method comprising the steps of: (i) contacting an agent to a polypeptide comprising at least 20 contiguous amino acids of SEQ ID NO:2; (ii)selecting an agent that binds to the polypeptide or enhances the expression or activity of the polypeptide, and (iii) determining the effect of the selected agent on glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, thereby identifying an agent that induces glucose-stimulated insulin production in an animal.
- step (ii) comprises selecting an agent that enhances the expression of the polypeptide.
- step (ii) comprises selecting an agent that enhances the activity of the polypeptide.

- the membrane potential of the cell is measured be detecting a change in fluorescence of a dye whose fluorescence is dependent on cell depolarization and wherein the change in fluorescence is detected with a device sufficient for high throughput screening.
- the cell is an insulin-secreting cell.
- the cell is a pancreatic ⁇ cell.
- the polypeptide is recombinantly expressed in the cell, hi some embodiments, the cell is a Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell.
- the method further comprising administering the agent to a diabetic animal and testing the animal for increased glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.
- the animal is selected from a ZDF rat and a db/db mouse.
- the polypeptide comprises at least 100 amino acids, h some embodiments, the polypeptide is at least 80% identical to SEQ ID NO:2.
- the present invention also provides methods of inducing glucose- stimulated insulin production in an animal, some embodiments, the methods comprise administering a therapeutically effective amount of the agent selected in a method comprising the steps of: (i) contacting an agent to a polypeptide comprising at least 20 contiguous amino acids of SEQ ID NO:2; (ii)selecting an agent that binds to the polypeptide or enhances the expression or activity of the polypeptide, and (iii) determimng the effect of the selected agent on glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.
- the animal is a human, i some embodiments, the human has Type 2 diabetes, h some embodiments, the human is predisposed for Type 2 diabetes.
- the present invention also provides methods of expressing ⁇ TRP in a pancreatic islet cell.
- the method comprises introducing into an islet cell a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide comprising at least 20 contiguous amino acids of SEQ ID NO:2.
- the islet cell is defective for glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.
- the polynucleotide is introduced in vitro. In some embodiments, the polynucleotide is introduced in vivo.
- the polypeptide comprises at least 100 amino acids. In some embodiments, the polypeptide is at least 80% identical to SEQ ID NO:2. In some embodiments, the polypeptide comprises SEQ ID NO:2. In some embodiments, the polynucleotide comprises SEQ ID NO:l. [18] In some embodiments, the islet cell is a ⁇ cell. DEFINITIONS [19] A person is "predisposed for diabetes" when the person is at high risk for developing diabetes.
- a number of risk factors are known to those of skill in the art and include: genetic factors (e.g., carrying alleles that result in a higher occurrence of diabetes than in the average population or having parents or siblings with diabetes); overweight (e.g., body mass index (BMI) greater or equal to 25 kg/m 2 ); habitual physical inactivity, race/ethnicity (e.g., African-American, Hispanic-American, Native Americans, Asian- Americans, Pacific Islanders); previously identified impaired fasting glucose or impaired glucose tolerance, hypertension (e.g., greater or equal to 140/90 irimHg in adults); HDL cholesterol greater or equal to 35 mg/dl; triglyceride levels greater or equal to 250 mg dl; a history of gestational diabetes or delivery of a baby over nine pounds; and/or polycystic ovary syndrome.
- genetic factors e.g., carrying alleles that result in a higher occurrence of diabetes than in the average population or having parents or siblings with diabetes
- overweight e.g
- a " ⁇ TRP” or “beta-TRP” polypeptide refers to a calcium channel that is substantially identical to SEQ ID NO:2, SEQ ID NO:4, or SEQ ID NO:6. ⁇ TRP polypeptides, when inserted into a membrane or expressed in a cell, typically form a functional cation channel.
- amino acid residues conserved between mouse and human are present in ⁇ TRP sequences of the invention, hi some cases, ⁇ TRP comprises a glutamine (e.g., encoded by the codon CAG) or an arginine (e.g., encoded by the codon CGG) at position 579.
- ⁇ TRP polypeptides typically have a "TRP" motif and transmembrane domains. See, e.g., Figure 8 illustrating these motifs and domains in the human ⁇ TRP sequence.
- ⁇ TRP activity refers to the ability of a protein to set or modulate electrical potential of the plasma membrane of a cell.
- fluorescent dyes or fluorescent resonance energy transfer (FRET) reagents that are sensitive to membrane potential to detect the activity of a channel in a cell. See, e.g., Miller et al, Eur J Pharmacol. 370(2):179-85 (1999); Fedida, et al, Prog Biophys Mol Biol. 75(3):165-99 (2000).
- calcium flux assays using calcium-dependent fluorescent dyes can be used to detect channel activity. Activity can also be measured, for example, using patch-clamp techniques. Patch-clamp analysis generally involves formation of a high resistance seal between the cell membrane and the glass wall of a micropipette. Current passing through the ion channels in the membrane is then measured.
- an "activator of ⁇ TRP” refers to an agent that opens, stimulates, sensitizes or up regulates the activity or expression of ⁇ TRP.
- Enhanced ⁇ TRP activity refers to activity of a ⁇ TRP channel that is opened, stimulated, sensitized or up-regulated compared to a control (e.g., a sample not containing a potential ⁇ TRP modulator).
- a dye whose fluorescence is dependent on cell depolarization refers to dyes or probes that exhibit potential-dependent changes in their transmembrane distribution that are accompanied by a fluorescence change. The magnitude of their optical responses can be about 1% fluorescence change per mV.
- These dyes sometimes referred to as “slow-response probes,” include, e.g., cationic carbocyanines and rhodamines and anionic oxonols, as well as proprietary dyes available for the Molecular Devices (Sunnyvale, CA)
- a device sufficient for high throughput screening refers to a device that can be used by one person to analyze a large number of samples (e.g., at least 96 and sometimes at least 200, 384, 500 or even 1000 samples on a daily basis).
- high throughput devices for use in measuring cell depolarization and membrane potential changes include, e.g., the FLIPR and FLEXstation devices from Molecular Devices (Sunnyvale, CA).
- Antibody refers to a polypeptide substantially encoded by an immunoglobulin gene or immunoglobulin genes, or fragments thereof which specifically bind and recognize an analyte (antigen).
- the recognized immunoglobulin genes include the kappa, lambda, alpha, gamma, delta, epsilon and mu constant region genes, as well as the myriad immunoglobulin variable region genes.
- Light chains are classified as either kappa or lambda.
- Heavy chains are classified as gamma, mu, alpha, delta, or epsilon, which in turn define the immunoglobulin classes, IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD and IgE, respectively.
- An exemplary immunoglobulin (antibody) structural unit comprises a tetramer.
- Each tetramer is composed of two identical pairs of polypeptide chains, each pair having one "light” (about 25 kD) and one "heavy” chain (about 50-70 kD).
- the N-terminus of each chain defines a variable region of about 100 to 110 or more amino acids primarily responsible for antigen recognition.
- the terms variable light chain (V L ) and variable heavy chain (V H ) refer to these light and heavy chains respectively.
- Antibodies exist, e.g., as intact immunoglobulins or as a number of well-characterized fragments produced by digestion with various peptidases.
- pepsin digests an antibody below the disulfide linkages in the hinge region to produce F(ab)' 2; a dimer of Fab which itself is a light chain joined to V H -C R I by a disulfide bond.
- the F(ab)' 2 may be reduced under mild conditions to break the disulfide linkage in the hinge region, thereby converting the F(ab)' 2 dimer into an Fab' monomer.
- the Fab' monomer is essentially an Fab with part of the hinge region (see, Paul (Ed.) Fundamental Immunology, Third Edition, Raven Press, NY (1993)). While various antibody fragments are defined in terms of the digestion of an intact antibody, one of skill will appreciate that such fragments may be synthesized de novo either chemically or by utilizing recombinant DNA methodology. Thus, the term antibody, as used herein, also includes antibody fragments either produced by the modification of whole antibodies or those synthesized de novo using recombinant DNA methodologies (e.g., single chain Fv).
- gene means the segment of DNA involved in producing a polypeptide chain; it includes regions preceding and following the coding region (leader and trailer) as well as intervening sequences (introns) between individual coding segments (exons).
- nucleic acid or protein when applied to a nucleic acid or protein, denotes that the nucleic acid or protein is essentially free of other cellular components with which it is associated in the natural state. It is preferably in a homogeneous state although it can be in either a dry or aqueous solution. Purity and homogeneity are typically determined using analytical chemistry techniques such as polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis or high performance liquid chromatography. A protein that is the predominant species present in a preparation is substantially purified. In particular, an isolated gene is separated from open reading frames that flank the gene and encode a protein other than the gene of interest. The term “purified” denotes that a nucleic acid or protein gives rise to essentially one band in an electrophoretic gel. Particularly, it means that the nucleic acid or protein is at least 85% pure, more preferably at least 95% pure, and most preferably at least 99% pure.
- nucleic acid or “polynucleotide” refers to deoxyribonucleotides or ribonucleotides and polymers thereof in either single- or double- stranded form. Unless specifically limited, the term encompasses nucleic acids containing known analogues of natural nucleotides that have similar binding properties as the reference nucleic acid and are metabolized in a manner similar to naturally occurring nucleotides. Unless otherwise indicated, a particular nucleic acid sequence also implicitly encompasses conservatively modified variants thereof (e.g., degenerate codon substitutions) and complementary sequences as well as the sequence explicitly indicated.
- degenerate codon substitutions may be achieved by generating sequences in which the third position of one or more selected (or all) codons is substituted with mixed-base and/or deoxyinosine residues (Batzer et al, Nucleic Acid Res. 19:5081 (1991); Ohtsuka et al, J. Biol. Chem. 260:2605-2608 (1985); and Cassol et al. (1992); Rossolini et al, Mol. Cell. Probes 8:91-98 (1994)).
- nucleic acid is used interchangeably with gene, cDNA, and mRNA encoded by a gene.
- polypeptide polypeptide
- peptide protein
- protein protein
- amino acid polymers in which one or more amino acid residue is an artificial chemical mimetic of a corresponding naturally occurring amino acid, as well as to naturally occurring amino acid polymers and non-naturally occurring amino acid polymers.
- the terms encompass amino acid chains of any length, including full-length proteins (i.e., antigens), wherein the amino acid residues are linked by covalent peptide bonds.
- amino acid refers to naturally occurring and synthetic amino acids, as well as amino acid analogs and amino acid mimetics that function in a manner similar to the naturally occurring amino acids.
- Naturally occurring amino acids are those encoded by the genetic code, as well as those amino acids that are later modified, e.g., hydroxyproline, ⁇ -carboxyglutamate, and O-phosphoserine.
- Amino acid analogs refers to compounds that have the same basic chemical structure as a naturally occurring amino acid, i.e., an carbon that is bound to a hydrogen, a carboxyl group, an amino group, and an R group, e.g., homoserine, norleucine, methionine sulfoxide, methionine methyl sulfonium. Such analogs have modified R groups (e.g., norleucine) or modified peptide backbones, but retain the same basic chemical structure as a naturally occurring amino acid.
- Amino acid mimetics refers to chemical compounds that have a structure that is different from the general chemical structure of an amino acid, but which functions in a manner similar to a naturally occurring amino acid.
- Amino acids may be referred to herein by either the commonly known three letter symbols or by the one-letter symbols recommended by the IUPAC-IUB Biochemical Nomenclature Commission. Nucleotides, likewise, may be referred to by their commonly accepted single-letter codes.
- Constantly modified variants applies to both amino acid and nucleic acid sequences. With respect to particular nucleic acid sequences, “conservatively modified variants” refers to those nucleic acids which encode identical or essentially identical amino acid sequences, or where the nucleic acid does not encode an amino acid sequence, to essentially identical sequences. Because of the degeneracy of the genetic code, a large number of functionally identical nucleic acids encode any given protein. For instance, the codons GCA, GCC, GCG and GCU all encode the amino acid alanine. Thus, at every position where an alanine is specified by a codon, the codon can be altered to any of the corresponding codons described without altering the encoded polypeptide.
- nucleic acid variations are "silent variations," which are one species of conservatively modified variations. Every nucleic acid sequence herein that encodes a polypeptide also describes every possible silent variation of the nucleic acid.
- each codon in a nucleic acid except AUG, which is ordinarily the only codon for methionine, and TGG, which is ordinarily the only codon for tryptophan
- TGG which is ordinarily the only codon for tryptophan
- amino acid sequences one of skill will recognize that individual substitutions, deletions or additions to a nucleic acid, peptide, polypeptide, or protein sequence which alters, adds or deletes a single amino acid or a small percentage of amino acids in the encoded sequence is a "conservatively modified variant" where the alteration results in the substitution of an amino acid with a chemically similar amino acid. Conservative substitution tables providing functionally similar amino acids are well known in the art. Such conservatively modified variants are in addition to and do not exclude polymorphic variants, interspecies homologs, and alleles of the invention.
- Percentage of sequence identity is determined by comparing two optimally aligned sequences over a comparison window, wherein the portion of the polynucleotide sequence in the comparison window may comprise additions or deletions (i.e., gaps) as compared to the reference sequence (which does not comprise additions or deletions) for optimal alignment of the two sequences. The percentage is calculated by determining the number of positions at which the identical nucleic acid base or amino acid residue occurs in both sequences to yield the number of matched positions, dividing the number of matched positions by the total number of positions in the window of comparison and multiplying the result by 100 to yield the percentage of sequence identity.
- nucleic acids or polypeptide sequences refer to two or more sequences or subsequences that are the same.
- substantially identical refers to two or more sequences that have a specified percentage of amino acid residues or nucleotides that are the same (i.e., 60% identity, optionally 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, or 95% identity over a specified region), when compared and aligned for maximum correspondence over a comparison window, or designated region as measured using one of the following sequence comparison algorithms or by manual alignment and visual inspection.
- the identity exists over a region that is at least about 50 nucleotides in length, or more preferably over a region that is 100 to 500 or 1000 or more nucleotides in length.
- the present invention provides polynucleotides and polypeptides substantially identical to SEQ ID NOs:l, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
- similarity refers to two or more sequences or subsequences that have a specified percentage of amino acid residues that are either the same or similar as defined in the 8 conservative amino acid substitutions defined above (i.e., 60%, optionally 65%, 70%, 15%, 80%, 85%, 90%, or 95% similar over a specified region), when compared and aligned for maximum correspondence over a comparison window, or designated region as measured using one of the following sequence comparison algorithms or by manual alignment and visual inspection.
- sequences are then said to be “substantially similar.”
- this identity exists over a region that is at least about 50 amino acids in length, or more preferably over a region that is at least about 100 to 500 or 1000 or more amino acids in length.
- the present invention provides polypeptides substantially similar to SEQ ID NOs: 2, 4, and 6. [ 1]
- sequence comparison typically one sequence acts as a reference sequence, to which test sequences are compared.
- test and reference sequences are entered into a computer, subsequence coordinates are designated, if necessary, and sequence algorithm program parameters are designated. Default program parameters can be used, or alternative parameters can be designated.
- the sequence comparison algorithm then calculates the percent sequence identities for the test sequences relative to the reference sequence, based on the program parameters.
- a “comparison window”, as used herein, includes reference to a segment of any one of the number of contiguous positions selected from the group consisting of from 20 to 600, usually about 50 to about 200, more usually about 100 to about 150 in which a sequence may be compared to a reference sequence of the same number of contiguous positions after the two sequences are optimally aligned.
- Methods of alignment of sequences for comparison are well known in the art.
- Optimal alignment of sequences for comparison can be conducted, e.g., by the local homology algorithm of Smith and Waterman (1970) Adv. Appl Math. 2:482c, by the homology alignment algorithm of Needleman and Wunsch (1970) J. Mol. Biol.
- HSPs high scoring sequence pairs
- Cumulative scores are calculated using, for nucleotide sequences, the parameters M (reward score for a pair of matching residues; always > 0) and N (penalty score for mismatching residues; always ⁇ 0).
- M forward score for a pair of matching residues; always > 0
- N penalty score for mismatching residues; always ⁇ 0.
- a scoring matrix is used to calculate the cumulative score. Extension of the word hits in each direction are halted when: the cumulative alignment score falls off by the quantity X from its maximum achieved value; the cumulative score goes to zero or below, due to the accumulation of one or more negative- scoring residue alignments; or the end of either sequence is reached.
- the BLAST algorithm parameters W, T, and X determine the sensitivity and speed of the alignment.
- W wordlength
- E expectation
- the BLAST algorithm also performs a statistical analysis of the similarity between two sequences (see, e.g., Karlin and Altschul (1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:5873-5787).
- One measure of similarity provided by the BLAST algorithm is the smallest sum probability (P(N)), which provides an indication of the probability by which a match between two nucleotide or amino acid sequences would occur by chance.
- P(N) the smallest sum probability
- a nucleic acid is considered similar to a reference sequence if the smallest sum probability in a comparison of the test nucleic acid to the reference nucleic acid is less than about 0.2, more preferably less than about 0.01, and most preferably less than about 0.001.
- nucleic acid sequences or polypeptides are substantially identical is that the polypeptide encoded by the first nucleic acid is immunologically cross reactive with the antibodies raised against the polypeptide encoded by the second nucleic acid, as described below.
- a polypeptide is typically substantially identical to a second polypeptide, for example, where the two peptides differ only by conservative substitutions.
- Another indication that two nucleic acid sequences are substantially identical is that the two molecules or their complements hybridize to each other under stringent conditions, as described below.
- Yet another indication that two nucleic acid sequences are substantially identical is that the same primers can be used to amplify the sequence.
- the phrase "selectively (or specifically) hybridizes to” refers to the binding, duplexing, or hybridizing of a molecule only to a particular nucleotide sequence under stringent hybridization conditions when that sequence is present in a complex mixture (e.g., total cellular or library DNA or RNA).
- stringent hybridization conditions refers to conditions under which a probe will hybridize to its target subsequence, typically in a complex mixture of nucleic acid, but to no other sequences. Stringent conditions are sequence-dependent and will be different in different circumstances. Longer sequences hybridize specifically at higher temperatures. An extensive guide to the hybridization of nucleic acids is found in Tijssen, Techniques in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology— Hybridization with Nucleic Probes, "Overview of principles of hybridization and the strategy of nucleic acid assays” (1993). Generally, stringent conditions are selected to be about 5-10° C lower than the thermal melting point (T m ) for the specific sequence at a defined ionic strength pH.
- T m thermal melting point
- the T m is the temperature (under defined ionic strength, pH, and nucleic concentration) at which 50% of the probes complementary to the target hybridize to the target sequence at equilibrium (as the target sequences are present in excess, at T m , 50% of the probes are occupied at equilibrium).
- Stringent conditions will be those in which the salt concentration is less than about 1.0 M sodium ion, typically about 0.01 to 1.0 M sodium ion concentration (or other salts) at pH 7.0 to 8.3 and the temperature is at least about 30°C for short probes (e.g., 10 to 50 nucleotides) and at least about 60° C for long probes (e.g., greater than 50 nucleotides).
- Stringent conditions may also be achieved with the addition of destabilizing agents such as formamide.
- a positive signal is at least two times background, optionally 10 times background hybridization.
- Exemplary stringent hybridization conditions can be as following: 50% formamide, 5X SSC, and 1% SDS, incubating at 42°C, or 5X SSC, 1% SDS, incubating at 65°C, with wash in 0.2X SSC, and 0.1%) SDS at 65°C. Such washes can be performed for 5, 15, 30, 60, 120, or more minutes. [48] Nucleic acids that do not hybridize to each other under stringent conditions are still substantially identical if the polypeptides that they encode are substantially identical.
- nucleic acids typically hybridize under moderately stringent hybridization conditions.
- moderately stringent hybridization conditions include a hybridization in a buffer of 40% formamide, 1 M NaCl, 1% SDS at 37°C, and a wash in IX SSC at 45°C. Such washes can be performed for 5, 15, 30, 60, 120, or more minutes. A positive hybridization is at least twice background. Those of ordinary skill will readily recognize that alternative hybridization and wash conditions can be utilized to provide conditions of similar stringency.
- a nucleic acid sequence encoding refers to a nucleic acid which contains sequence information for a structural RNA such as rRNA, a tRNA, or the primary amino acid sequence of a specific protein or peptide, or a binding site for a transacting regulatory agent. This phrase specifically encompasses degenerate codons (i.e., different codons which encode a single amino acid) of the native sequence or sequences that may be introduced to conform with codon preference in a specific host cell.
- recombinant when used with reference, e.g., to a cell, or nucleic acid, protein, or vector, indicates that the cell, nucleic acid, protein or vector, has been modified by the introduction of a heterologous nucleic acid or protein or the alteration of a native nucleic acid or protein, or that the cell is derived from a cell so modified.
- recombinant cells express genes that are not found within the native
- nonrecombinant form of the cell or express native genes that are otherwise abnormally expressed, under-expressed or not expressed at all.
- heterologous when used with reference to portions of a nucleic acid indicates that the nucleic acid comprises two or more subsequences that are not found in the same relationship to each other in nature.
- the nucleic acid is typically recombinantly produced, having two or more sequences from unrelated genes arranged to make a new functional nucleic acid, e.g., a promoter from one source and a coding region from another source.
- a heterologous protein indicates that the protein comprises two or more subsequences that are not found in the same relationship to each other in nature (e.g., a fusion protein).
- An "expression vector” is a nucleic acid construct, generated recombinantly or synthetically, with a series of specified nucleic acid elements that permit transcription of a particular nucleic acid in a host cell.
- the expression vector can be part of a plasmid, virus, or nucleic acid fragment.
- the expression vector includes a nucleic acid to be transcribed operably linked to a promoter.
- the specified antibodies bind to a particular protein and do not bind in a significant amount to other proteins present in the sample. Specific binding to an antibody under such conditions may require an antibody that is selected for its specificity for a particular protein.
- antibodies raised against a protein having an amino acid sequence encoded by any of the polynucleotides of the invention can be selected to obtain antibodies specifically immunoreactive with that protein and not with other proteins, except for polymorphic variants.
- a variety of immunoassay formats may be used to select antibodies specifically immunoreactive with a particular protein.
- solid- phase ELISA immunoassays, Western blots, or immunohistochemistry are routinely used to select monoclonal antibodies specifically immunoreactive with a protein. See, Harlow and Lane Antibodies, A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Publications, NY (1988) for a description of immunoassay formats and conditions that can be used to determine specific immunoreactivity.
- a specific or selective reaction will be at least twice the background signal or noise and more typically more than 10 to 100 times background.
- “Inhibitors,” “activators,” and “modulators” of ⁇ TRP expression or of ⁇ TRP activity are used to refer to inhibitory, activating, or modulating molecules, respectively, identified using in vitro and in vivo assays for ⁇ TRP expression or ⁇ TRP activity, e.g., ligands, agonists, antagonists, and their homologs and mimetics.
- modulator includes inhibitors and activators.
- Inhibitors are agents that, e.g., inhibit expression of ⁇ TRP or bind to, partially or totally block stimulation or enzymatic activity, decrease, prevent, delay activation, inactivate, desensitize, or down regulate the activity of ⁇ TRP, e.g., antagonists.

- Samples or assays comprising ⁇ TRP that are treated with a potential activator, inhibitor, or modulator are compared to control samples without the inhibitor, activator, or modulator to examine the extent of effect.
- Control samples (untreated with modulators) are assigned a relative ⁇ TRP activity value of 100%.
- Inhibition of ⁇ TRP is achieved when the ⁇ TRP activity value relative to the control is about 80%, optionally 50%) or 25-1%.

Fragments may be obtained of the DNA sequence by chemically synthesizing oligonucleotides in accordance with conventional methods, by restriction enzyme digestion, by PCR amplification, etc. For the most part, DNA fragments will be of at least about ten contiguous nucleotides, usually at least about 15 nucleotides, more usually at least about 18 nucleotides to about 20 nucleotides, more usually at least about 25 nucleotides to about 50 nucleotides. Such small DNA fragments are useful as primers for PCR, hybridization screening, siRNA, etc.

- Solid substrates are commonly derivatized or functionalized by exposing all or a portion of the substrate to a chemical reagent that fixes a chemical group to the surface that is reactive with a portion of the tag binder.
- groups that are suitable for attachment to a longer chain portion include amines, hydroxyl, thiol, and carboxyl groups.
- Aminoalkylsilanes and hydroxyalkylsilanes can be used to functionalize a variety of surfaces, such as glass surfaces. The construction of such solid phase biopolymer arrays is well described in the literature (see, e.g., Merrifield, J. Am. Chem. Soc.
- Non-chemical approaches for fixing tag binders to substrates include other common methods, such as heat, cross-linking by UV radiation, and the like.
- the invention provides in vitro assays for identifying, in a high throughput format, compounds that can modulate the expression or activity of ⁇ TRP.
- Control reactions thai measure ⁇ TRP activity of the cell in a reaction that does not include a potential modulator are optional, as the assays are highly uniform. Such optional control reactions are appropriate and increase the reliability of the assay. Accordingly, in one embodiment, the methods of the invention include such a control reaction.
- "no modulator" control reactions that do not include a modulator provide a background level of binding activity.
- a known activator of ⁇ TRP of the invention can be incubated with one sample of the assay, and the resulting increase in signal resulting from an increased expression level or activity of ⁇ TRP are determined according to the methods herein.
- exemplary activators include, e.g., calcimycin.
- a known inhibitor of ⁇ TRP can be added, and the resulting decrease in signal for the expression or activity of ⁇ TRP can be similarly detected.
- Exemplary inhibitors include, e.g., 2-APB or U73122, a PLC inhibitor from Sigma Chemicals. It will be appreciated that modulators can also be combined with activators or inhibitors to find modulators that inhibit the increase or decrease that is otherwise caused by the presence of the known modulator of ⁇ TRP.
- Yet another assay for compounds that modulate the activity of ⁇ TRP involves computer-assisted drug design, in which a computer system is used to generate a three-dimensional structure of ⁇ TRP based on the structural information encoded by its amino acid sequence.
- the input amino acid sequence interacts directly and actively with a pre-established algorithm in a computer program to yield secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structural models of the protein.
- the models of the protein structure are then examined to identify regions (e.g., the active site) of the structure that have the ability to bind ligands or otherwise be modulated. Similar analyses can be performed on potential receptors or binding partners of ⁇ TRP and can be used to identify regions of interaction with ⁇ TRP. These regions are then used to identify polypeptides that bind to ⁇ TRP.
- potential modulators can be identified by the computer system. Three-dimensional structures for potential modulators are generated by entering chemical formulas of compounds. The three-dimensional structure of the potential modulator is then compared to that of ⁇ TRP to identify binding sites of ⁇ TRP. Binding affinity between the protein and modulators is determined using energy terms to determine which ligands have an enhanced probability of binding to the protein.
- Modulators of ⁇ TRP can be administered directly to the mammalian subject for modulation of ⁇ TRP activity in vivo. Administration is by any of the routes normally used for introducing a modulator compound into ultimate contact with the tissue to be treated and is well known to those of skill in the art. Although more than one route can be used to administer a particular composition, a particular route can often provide a more immediate and more effective reaction than another route.
- the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may comprise a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
- Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are determined in part by the particular composition being administered, as well as by the particular method used to administer the composition. Accordingly, there is a wide variety of suitable formulations of pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention (see, e.g., Remington 's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 17 ed. 1985)).
- the modulators e.g., agonists or antagonists
- ⁇ TRP can be prepared for injection or for use in a pump device.
- Pump devices also known as "insulin pumps” are commonly used to administer insulin to patients and therefore can be easily adapted to include compositions of the present invention. Manufacturers of insulin pumps include Animas, Disetronic and MiniMed.
- the modulators e.g., agonists or antagonists of the expression or activity of ⁇ TRP, alone or in combination with other suitable components, can be made into aerosol formulations (i.e., they can be "nebulized") to be administered via inhalation. Aerosol formulations can be placed into pressurized acceptable propellants, such as dichlorodifluoromethane, propane, nitrogen, and the like.
- Formulations suitable for administration include aqueous and non- aqueous solutions, isotonic sterile solutions, which can contain antioxidants, buffers, bacteriostats, and solutes that render the formulation isotonic, and aqueous and non-aqueous sterile suspensions that can include suspending agents, solubilizers, thickening agents, stabilizers, and preservatives, hi the practice of this invention, compositions can be administered, for example, orally, nasally, topically, intravenously, intraperitoneally, or intrathecally.
- the formulations of compounds can be presented in unit-dose or multi-dose sealed containers, such as ampoules and vials. Solutions and suspensions can be prepared from sterile powders, granules, and tablets of the kind previously described.
- the modulators can also be administered as part of a prepared food or drug.
- the dose administered to a patient should be sufficient to induce a beneficial response in the subject over time.
- the optimal dose level for any patient will depend on a variety of factors including the efficacy of the specific modulator employed, the age, body weight, physical activity, and diet of the patient, on a possible combination with other drugs, and on the severity of the case of diabetes. It is recommended that the daily dosage of the modulator be determined for each individual patient by those skilled in the art in a similar way as for known insulin compositions.
- the size of the dose also will be determined by the existence, nature, and extent of any adverse side-effects that accompany the administration of a particular compound or vector in a particular subject.
- a physician may evaluate circulating plasma levels of the modulator, modulator toxicity, and the production of anti-modulator antibodies.
- the dose equivalent of a modulator is from about 1 ng/kg to 10 mg/kg for a typical subject.
- ⁇ TRP modulators of the present invention can be administered at a rate determined by the LD-50 of the modulator, and the side-effects of the modulator at various concentrations, as applied to the mass and overall health of the subject. Administration can be accomplished via single or divided doses.
- the compounds of the present invention can also be used effectively in combination with one or more additional active agents depending on the desired target therapy (see, e.g., Turner, N. et al. Prog. Drug Res. (1998) 51: 33-94; Haffner, S. Diabetes Care (1998) 21: 160-178; and DeFronzo, R. et al. (eds.), Diabetes Reviews (1997) Vol. 5 No. 4).
- a number of studies have investigated the benefits of combination therapies with oral agents (see, e.g., Mahler, R., J Clin. Endocrinol. Metab. (1999) 84: 1165-71; United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study Group: UKPDS 28, Diabetes Care (1998) 21: 87-92; Bardin, C.
- Combination therapy includes administration of a single pharmaceutical dosage formulation that contains a ⁇ TRP modulator of the invention and one or more additional active agents, as well as administration of a ⁇ TRP modulator and each active agent in its own separate pharmaceutical dosage formulation.
- a ⁇ TRP modulator and a thiazolidinedione can be administered to the human subject together in a single oral dosage composition, such as a tablet or capsule, or each agent can be administered in separate oral dosage formulations.
- a ⁇ TRP modulator and one or more additional active agents can be administered at essentially the same time (i.e., concurrently), or at separately staggered times (i.e., sequentially). Combination therapy is understood to include all these regimens.
- combination therapy can be seen in modulating diabetes (or treating diabetes and its related symptoms, complications, and disorders), wherein the ⁇ TRP modulators can be effectively used in combination with, for example, sulfonylureas (such as chlorpropamide, tolbutamide, acetohexamide, tolazamide, glyburide, gliclazide, glynase, glimepiride, and glipizide); biguanides (such as metformin); a PPAR beta delta agonist; a ligand or agonist of PPAR gamma such as thiazolidinediones (such as ciglitazone, pioglitazone (see, e.g., U.S.

- Patent No. 6,218,409 troglitazone, and rosiglitazone (see, e.g., U.S. Patent No. 5,859,037)); PPAR alpha agonists such as clofibrate, gemfibrozil, fenofibrate, ciprofibrate, and bezafibrate; dehydroepiandrosterone (also referred to as DHEA or its conjugated sulphate ester, DHEA-SO4); antiglucocorticoids; TNF ⁇ inhibitors; - glucosidase inhibitors (such as acarbose, miglitol, and voglibose); amylin and amylin derivatives (such as pramlintide, (see, also, U.S.
- insulin secretogogues such as repaglinide, gliquidone, and nateglinide (see, also, U.S. Patent Nos. 6,251,856; 6,251,865; 6,221,633; 6,174,856)
- insulin secretogogues such as repaglinide, gliquidone, and nateglinide
- ⁇ TRP activation of ⁇ TRP can be readily measured by detecting changes in membrane potential.
- Membrane potential-dependent fluorescent dyes provide significant signal that can be measured using devices useful in high throughput screening assays.
- no channel in the TRP family has been described to provide such a clear, readily measurable membrane potential/cell depolarization signal upon activation.
- a calcium channel would mediate such a large change in membrane potential so as to be readily measured in assays other than patch clamping.
- the present invention provides methods of identifying modulators of polypeptides that regulate ⁇ TRP by identifying agents that induce a change in membrane potential in cells expressing ⁇ TRP.
- the methods comprise contacting an agent to a cell, wherein the cell expresses ⁇ TRP and an upstream regulator of ⁇ TRP; and detecting a change membrane potential of the cell, wherein a change in the membrane potential of the cell in the presence of the agent compared to the absence of the agent indicates that the agent modulates activity of the regulator.
- exemplary regulators of ⁇ TRP include, e.g., G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) and G-proteins.
- GPCRs G-protein coupled receptors
- the GPCR is selected from Gq, Gi and Gs receptors.
- Gq receptors include, e.g., a muscarinic or PT2Y receptor, h embodiments involving the Gi receptors, a promiscuous G protein such as Gqi5, Galphal ⁇ , Gqs5, Gqo5, is also expressed in the cell to mediate signaling between the GPCR and ⁇ TRP.
- the methods of the invention can comprise detecting changes in membrane potential using a device sufficient for high throughput screening.
- changes in membrane potential can be detected using cell-based assays in the presence of dyes that respond fluorescently to membrane potential changes.
- devices for measuring the fluorescence such as the FLEXstation® and FLIPR® systems (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA) can be used to measure ⁇ TRP activation. These devices, in contrast to patch clamping techniques, are useful devices for high throughput screening.
- a significant number e.g., at least 96, 384, 500, or 1000 or more
- potential modulators e.g., in a combinatorial library
- large combinatorial libraries of compounds as described herein can be screened to identify small molecules that modulate regulator activity.
- the regulator polypeptide and /or ⁇ TRP polypeptide are recombinantly expressed in a cell.
- Exemplary cells for recombinant expression include, e.g. mammalian cells (e.g., HEK293, CHO, Cos7) 5 insect cells (e.g., sf21), bacterial cells (e.g., E. coli), or yeast (e.g., Pichia or S. cervisiae).
- Example 1 [160] This example demonstrates that ⁇ TRP is expressed in pancreatic islet cells and demonstrates that introduction of ⁇ TRP into islet cells of diabetic animals improves glucose stimulated insulin secretion.
- Microarray probe set MBXRATISL12881 was called "Present” by the Affymetrix GeneChipTM analysis software in 5 independent rat islet mRNA samples and absent in 10 other tissues examined.
- the mouse probe set MBXMUSISL22609 also demonstrated a high degree of enrichment in islets and in the cultured beta cell line (betaHC9) mRNA samples relative to those of other tissues ( Figure IB). Multiple clones for the corresponding cDNAs were found in human, rat and mouse islet libraries, and sequencing of these revealed that the encoded protein was a predicted TRP channel, which we named betaTRP.
- betaTRP The human gene for betaTRP had been sequenced as part of an examination of the Beckwith-Wiedeman syndrome locus and had been named MTR1. See, PCT Application WO0132693. In contrast to the statements in PCT Application WO0132693, betaTRP ESTs are well represented in human, rat and mouse islet libraries. Oligonucleotide array data confirmed that pancreatic islets are highly enriched for betaTRP. In-situ hybridization was used to determine that betaTRP mRNA is abundant in the majority of the core cells of rat islets, which indicates that many if not most beta cells express betaTRP.
- the islets from these diabetic animals are deficient in glucose stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) relative to the islets of control animals.
- GSIS glucose stimulated insulin secretion
- adenoviral expression of betaTRP in the ZDF islets restored their responsiveness to glucose in a static insulin secretion assay or in a islet perifusion experiment ( Figure 2).
- Expression of betaTRP did not increase basal insulin secretion and had little effect on islets from non- diabetic animals.
- pancreatic ⁇ cell cation channel ⁇ TRP represents a novel mechanism for enhancing glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in individuals with type II diabetes.
- Type II diabetes results when pancreatic beta cells are unable to compensate for the increased insulin demand caused by peripheral insulin resistance.
- Therapeutic agents such as sulphonylureas and meglitinides promote insulin secretion via the same molecular mechanism (K ATP channel closure) as the major pathway by which glucose regulates insulin secretion. Although these agents are widely used, they can be less than ideal in that they have intrinsic potential to cause hypoglycemia and also have significant rates of primary and secondary failure.
- Activation of mechanisms in the ⁇ cell that do not in themselves trigger insulin secretion but potentiate Ca " influx after glucose- dependent KA TP channel closure can enhance insulin secretion in a more physiologically appropriate manner.
- the ⁇ TRP cation channel represents a component of such a potentiator mechanism for enhancing Ca 4-1" influx and insulin secretion. This type of therapeutic approach also offers a novel therapy for diabetes patients for whom sulphonylureas/meglitinides fail.
- the TRP family (of which ⁇ TRP is a member) includes a diverse group of proteins that share a common core domain that is similar to the channel-forming core of Drosophila TRP (Transient Receptor Potential), a light-activated Ca 2+ -selective channel of the fly visual system.
- TRP channels mediate the influx of Ca 2+ and/or other cations when endoplasmic reticullum (ER) Ca 2+ stores are depleted or when receptors coupled to Gq and phospholipase- ⁇ (PLC) are activated.
- ER endoplasmic reticullum
- PLC phospholipase- ⁇
- FIG. 1 The activation (opening) of ⁇ TRP (TRPM5) results a robust Ca 2+ influx and membrane depolarization which can be detected indirectly with specific fluorescent dyes for Ca 2+ and membrane potential (MP).
- Figure 3 displays representative recordings of [Ca 2+ ]j and MP responses to ATP in control and ⁇ TRP-CHO cells. The MP response to ATP is present only in ⁇ TRP cells.
- CHO-K1 based ⁇ TRP stable cell lines are used to screen for small molecule modulators using the Molecular Devices' FLIPR® (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA) membrane potential assay with minor modifications.
- the goal of the screening is to find specific and director activators (openers) of ⁇ TRP channel.
- the activation of the channel is ideally complete and able to trigger a rise in [Ca 2+ ]j and plasma membrane depolarization of its host cells.
- Assay buffer Hank's Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) with 20 mM Hepes, pH 7.4 2.

- Antagonist control i. 2-APB 75 ⁇ M (from Tocris, TRP channel and IP3 receptor blocker); ii. U73122 10 ⁇ M (from Sigma Chemicals, PLC inhibitor).
- the Cells iii. Maintenance: DMEM with 10 % FCS and 200 ⁇ g/ml G418; Passaged 1-2 time/week with trypsin-EDTA. iv. Confluency: 85-95% by the time of assay. v. Plating: Regular or pre-coated plates; 24-48 h before assay. vi. Passage: up to the 10 th passage.
- MTX is a marine polyether toxin known to be a direct activation of non-selective cation channels (including ⁇ TRP). Raising Ca 2+ concentration to 2.5-5 mM in the assay system significantly enhanced the ability for the MP and the Calcium Assay Kits to detect the increase in [Ca 2+ ]i or MP induced by MTX ( Figure 4).
- Example 3
- ATP and calcimycin dose-dependently induced depolarization in ⁇ TRP-CHO cells, but not in control cells, as expected (Fig. 6).
- the estimated EC 50 of ATP and calcimycin is 11 and 0.8 ⁇ M respectively.
- ATP activates TRP channels by generating EP3 through the Gq-coupled P2Y receptor, whereas calcimycin acts by a direct depletion of intracellular Ca 2+ stores.
