Definitions
- This invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology. More particularly, this invention relates to genes involved in cancer genesis, maintenance, and progression.
- GPl 32 is involved in hyperproliferative conditions such as cancer. Up-regulation of GP 132 contributes to tumorigenesis (i.e., initiation) and tumor development (including maintenance, progression, and/or metastasis) in a mammal (e.g., a mouse, a nonhuman primate, or a human). GP 132 encodes mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 7 (GenBank Accession No. NP_663304; UniGene ID Hs.290346), and is located at human chromosome 6ql6.1-ql5.3. An exemplary human GP 132 protein has the polypeptide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1. As used herein, "GP 132" refers to the gene or the coding sequence or a protein product of the gene (depending on the context) of any animal species.
- the invention relates to antibodies that specifically bind the GP 132 protein.
- the antibodies that specifically bind the GP 132 block or inhibit the binding of the GP 132 protein to its natural ligand, thereby disrupting the tumorigenic signal transmitted by the ligand. As a result, tumorigenesis and/or tumor development in a patient is delayed or prevented.
- This invention also includes modulators of GPl 32 activities.
- modulators include antagonists of GP 132 activities, which antagonists prevent or inhibit tumor growth in vitro.
- the antagonists can also prevent tumorigenesis, tumor development, tumor maintenance, tumor recurrence, tumor growth, or the growth of tumor cells in vivo.

- Intracellular transcription of siRNAs can be achieved by cloning the siRNA templates into RNA polymerase III (Pol III) transcription units, which normally encode the small nuclear RNA U6 or the human RNAse P RNA Hl .
- Poly III RNA polymerase III
- Two approaches can be used for expressing siRNA: (1) sense and antisense strands constituting the siRNA duplex are transcribed by individual promoters; or (2) siRNAs are expressed as fold-back stem-loop structures that give rise to siRNAs after intracellular processing.
- Inducible promoters can also be used to drive the expression of the siRNA.
- pairs of oligonucleotides can be annealed to form double-stranded DNA and then ligated into an expression vector containing a U6 small RNA promoter.

- GP 132 is a suitable therapeutic target for treating neoplasia, hyperplasia, malignant cancers, or any other hyperproliferative conditions.
- the GP132 gene can be a target in cancers of the skin (e.g., melanoma), lung, prostate, breast, colorectal, liver, pancreatic, brain, testicular, ovarian, uterine, cervical, kidney, thyroid, bladder, esophageal, and hematological tissues.
- the invention accordingly relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the above-described nucleic acids, proteins, and antibodies, as well as mimetics, agonists, antagonists, or modulators of GP 132 activity, and methods of using them to prevent or treat (i.e., ameliorate, mitigate, alleviate, slow, or inhibit) tumor growth, angiogenesis, metastasis or otherwise inappropriate cell proliferation or to induce these conditions, e.g., in an experimental animal.
- Inhibitors of GP 132 can also be used in combination with a second or additional therapeutic agents for improved cancer treatment.
- Such second or additional therapeutic agents may include an anti-angiogenic agent, an anti- metastatic agent, an agent that induces hypoxia or is used to create a hypoxic environment, agent that induces apoptosis, or an agent that inhibits cell survival signals, hi some embodiments, inhibitors of GP132 can be used in conjunction with other chemotherapeutic agents including, but not limited to, folate antagonists, pyrimidine and purine antimetabolites, alkylating agents, platinum antitumor compounds, DNA interchelators, other agents that induce DNA damage, microtubule targeting products, small molecule inhibitors of protein kinases and biological inhibitors of growth factor receptors.

- GP 132 inhibitors can be used in combination with GP 132 inhibitors as an effective anti-cancer therapy.
- Such a combination can be expected to have a synergistic effect. This may also allow the use of a lower dose of GP 132 inhibitor or anti-angiogenic agent or both in chemotherapy, which is desirable because it is likely to cause less toxicity in patients. In addition, the use of combinations of therapeutic agents may circumvent drug resistance problems .
- GP 132 inhibitors can also be used in combination with agents that create a hypoxic environment to enhance the effect of GP 132 inhibitor.
- Hypoxia i.e., lack of oxygen
- mammalian cells activate and express multiple genes. Tumor cells may respond to hypoxia by diminishing their proliferative rates leaving the cells viable but nonproliferating. Some transformed cell lines can also undergo apoptosis in extreme hypoxia and an acidic environment. Similar to inhibitors of angiogenesis, other agents that induce a hypoxic environment may sensitize tumor cells to inhibition of GP132 and use of hypoxia inducing agents in combination with inhibiting GP 132 is therefore another promising therapeutic strategy.

- This invention provides genetically modified non-human mammals at least some of whose somatic and germ cells contain one of the above-described GP132-coding nucleic acids (including both heterozygotes and homozygotes). Such mammals can be used to study the effect of the GP132 gene on tumorigenicity and tumor development, to study the role of GP 132 on normal tissue development and differentiation, to identify via array CGH regions of the genome whose amplification and deletion is correlated with GP 132 status, and to screen for and establish toxicity profiles of anti-cancer drugs.
- This invention also provides genetically modified non-human mammals with targeted disruption of one or both copies of the endogenous GP 132 gene. Animal models according to the invention can be conventional germline transgenic animals or chimeric animals.
- this invention provides an inducible cancer model to study tumor biology and to screen for anti-cancer drugs.
- a genetically modified non-human mammal such as a transgenic or chimeric animal has a genome comprising: (a) an expression construct comprising a GP 132 gene linked operably to an inducible or constitutive promoter, and (b) a genetic mutation that causes said genetically modified non-human mammal to have greater susceptibility to cancer than an animal not comprising said genetic mutation, wherein expression of said GP 132 gene leads to formation of cancer in said genetically modified non-human mammal, and wherein said cancer regresses in said genetically modified non-human mammal when expression of said GP 132 gene is reduced.
- Mutations that render the animal more susceptible to cancer include disabling mutations in a tumor suppressor gene (e.g., INK4a), disabling mutations in a DNA repair gene (e.g., MSH2), and activating mutations in an oncogene (e.g., myc and ras).
- a tumor suppressor gene e.g., INK4a
- a DNA repair gene e.g., MSH2
- activating mutations in an oncogene e.g., myc and ras.
- an oncogene e.g., myc and ras.
- the animal's genome comprises (i) a first expression construct containing a gene encoding a reverse tetracycline transactivator operably linked to a promoter, such as any tissue or cell type-specific promoter or any general promoter, and (ii) a second expression construct containing the GPl 32 gene operably linked to a promoter that is regulated by the reverse tetracycline transactivator and tetracycline (or a tetracycline analogue, for example, doxycycline).
- a promoter such as any tissue or cell type-specific promoter or any general promoter
- a second expression construct containing the GPl 32 gene operably linked to a promoter that is regulated by the reverse tetracycline transactivator and tetracycline (or a tetracycline analogue, for example, doxycycline).
- the animal can then be observed in the presence and absence of the tetracycline (or analog thereof) for the development, maintenance, or progression of a tumor that is affected by the presence or absence of the tetracycline (or analog thereof).
- This animal model can be used to determine the efficacy of a candidate compound in preventing or treating cancer. This method involves administering to the animal a candidate compound and observing the effect of the compound on tumor development, maintenance, angiogenesis and/or progression in the animal. Regression and/or reduction of tumor size in the presence of the compound is indicative of the effectiveness of the compound.
- the effect of a candidate compound on the level of GP 132 mRNA, protein, or activity in the animal or cell lines derived thereof (or cell lines transfected with the gene) can be used to identify the candidate as an agonist or antagonist.
- the ability to compare the effect of a test compound to that of genetically switching off the inducible oncogene in this system allows the identification of surrogate markers that are predictive of the clinical response to the compound.
- the inducible model can be used to determine whether a compound can eradicate minimal residual tumor. Normally in the inducible model, a tumor regresses when the GP132 gene is switched from "on" to "off via the inducible promoter.
- the animal model can also be used to identify other cancer-related elements.
- a detailed expression profile of gene expression in tumors undergoing regression or regrowth due to the inactivation or activation of the GP 132 transgene is established.
- Techniques used to establish the profile include the use of suppression subtraction (in cell culture), differential display, proteomic analysis, serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE), and expression/transcription profiling using cDNA and/or oligonucleotide microarrays. Then, comparisons of expression profiles at different stages of cancer development can be performed to identify genes whose expression patterns are altered.
- This animal model can also be used to identify molecular surrogates of GP 132 in another manner. To do this, the expression of GP132 gene is eliminated by null mutation, and another round of MaSS screening is performed using retroviral integration, cDNA complementation, or the genetic suppressor elements (GSE) method. Genes whose activation results in transformation of the cells are likely to be in a tumorigenic pathway related to GP132.
- the animal model can also be used to identify surrogate biomarkers for diagnosis or for following disease progression in patients. The biomarkers can be identified based on the differences between the expression profiles of the "on" and "off states in the animal model.
- Blood or urine samples from the animal can be tested with ELISAs or other assays to determine which biomarkers are released from the tumor into circulation during tumor genesis, maintenance, or regression (when GP132 is turned off). These biomarkers are particularly useful clinically in following disease progression post anti-GP132 therapy.
- GP 132 activity is up-regulated in tumor cells
- nucleic acid probes or antibodies are used to quantify the expression level of GP132 in a tissue sample, wherein an increase in that level relative to control is indicative of cancerous, neoplastic, or hyperplastic pathology of the tissue sample.
- Routine techniques include RT-PCR, ribonuclease protection assays, in situ hybridization, Northern blot analysis, FISH, CGH, array CGH, SKY, and immunohistochemistry.
- a GP132 protein or fragments thereof may be found to be elevated in a tissue sample (e.g., blood or urine) of cancer patients relative to that of normal individuals. This elevation can be detected by, e.g., specific ELISAs, radioimmunoassays, or protein chip assays. Such tests may not only be useful for diagnosis of GP132-related diseases such as cancers, but also for monitoring the progress of therapy using GP132 inhibitors.
- Example 1 MaSS Screening Identification of the Gene This example describes the procedures for identifying the GP 132 gene by MaSS screening. a. Retroviral Infection of Tumor Cells
- Mo-MuLV producer cell line TMJ (NIH3T3 based cell line) was plated to the required number of plates (100 mm). These cells were cultured and maintained in RPMI media with 10% FBS. For viral production, TMJ cells were fed with 4-5 ml of fresh culture media, and culture supernatant was harvested 8-12 hours later. The supernatant was filtered through a 0.45 ⁇ M filter.
- doxycycline-dependent, RAS-induced melanoma cells such as R545 cells were maintained in RPMI media with 10% fetal calf serum in the presence of doxycycline (2 /ig/ml). At approximately 18-24 hrs after plating or when the plates were 70-80% confluent, the R545 cells were infected with the filtered viral supernatant in the presence of polybrene (6-8 ⁇ g/ml). From this point on, the R545 cells were maintained in the absence of doxycycline.
- infected R545 cells Eighteen hours after infection, infected R545 cells were trypsinized, rinsed and resuspended in Hanks' Balanced Salt Solution. Cell suspensions were kept on ice and the handling time after trypsinization was kept to a minimum. About I X lO 6 cells were injected onto the flank of SCID mice fed with water without doxycycline. The animals were observed for tumor development. Control animals were similarly injected with I X lO 6 uninfected R545 cells. Tumors typically developed after approximately 21 days. Tumors were harvested and tumor tissues were immediately snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen. b. Inverted Polymerase Chain Reaction
- DNA was isolated from tumor tissues using the PUREGENE DNA isolation kit. 10 ⁇ g of genomic DNA was digested to completion with either BamHI or SacII and the reaction was terminated by incubation at 65 0 C for 20 minutes. The digested samples were self-ligated in a diluted 600 ⁇ l reaction volume using 4000 U of high concentration T4 Ligase (NEB, Cat. # M0202M). The ligation was performed overnight to 24 hrs at 16 0 C. The ligated DNA was precipitated with ethanol and dissolved in 40 ⁇ l of sterile water. The ligated DNA was then serially diluted to 1:10 and 1:100 ratios and subj ected to inverted polymerase chain reaction (IPCR).
- IPCR inverted polymerase chain reaction
- the PCR reaction mix had a total volume of 50 ⁇ l and contained l ⁇ l of the ligated DNA, 25 nmol of each dNTP, 10 pmol each of the forward and reverse primers, 1 X Buffer 2, and 2.5 U of Enzyme Mix in the EXPAND Long Template PCR System (Roche).
- Amplification was performed as follows: 92 0 C for 2 min, then 10 cycles of (92 0 C for 10 sec, 63° for 30 sec, 68 0 C for 15 min), then 20 cycles of (92 0 C for 10 sec, 63 0 C for 30 sec, 68 0 C for 15 min, and a 20 sec auto extension), and a final extension step at 68 0 C for 30 min (TETRAD Thermocycler, MJ Research).
- the primer sets used in IPCR (all of them targeting the retroviral LTRs were:

- Retroviral leader sequences were trimmed from the raw sequences of IPCR products, and homology searches for the trimmed sequences were performed in the NCBI MGSCV3 database by using the BLAST software program.
- BLAST hits were analyzed and recurrent sites of integration in multiple mouse tumors were identified. Recurrence was defined as 2 or more integrations within a 10 kb region.
- NCBI Map View was used to identify the site of each recurrent retroviral integration onto the mouse genome. Genes immediately neighboring the site were identified by using the MGSCV3 Gene map. These genes were defined as candidate cancer-related genes because in the vast majority of cases, MuLV integration affects the most proximal genes. When the integration occurred within a gene, that gene was deemed the best candidate as the target for the effects of retroviral integration.
- This example describes the protocols used to determine GP 132 expression levels in tumors in which Moloney murine leukemia virus (MuLV) was integrated next to the GP 132 gene. Normal tissues or tumors that did not contain an MuLV integration next to the GP 132 gene were used as control. a. Design and generation of primer sets for mouse and human genes:

- RNA from each mouse tumor and from R545 cells maintained with or without doxycycline was reverse transcribed using MuLV SUPERSCRIPT (Life Technologies).
- 1 ⁇ l of 1 :20 diluted single-stranded cDNA resulting from this reverse transcription reaction was used as template for PCR.
- the PCR primers (20 ng/ ⁇ l each), the buffer and the polymerase were added into the PCR SUPERMIX from Invitrogen, and the PCR was performed for 30 cycles. PCR products were fractionated on 1% agarose TBE gel for lhr at 100V, and individual bands visualized by ethidium bromide staining. Quantification was performed by comparison to R545 cells maintained with or without doxycycline.

- RNA was prepared from the cells using QIAGEN RNEASY mini-prep kits and QIAGEN
- RNA preparations were treated with DNase during column purification according to manufacturer's instructions. Expression of each gene was determined in triplicate for all tumors and cell lines using SYBR green- based real-time PCR. To do this, 2X SYBR green PCR master mix (ABI) was mixed with the MULTISCRIBE reverse transcriptase (ABI) and RNase inhibitor (ABI). Forward and reverse primers were added at ratios previously optimized for each gene using control human reference RNA (Stratagene). 50 ng of RNA template was used per reaction, and the reactions were performed in a total volume of 20 ⁇ l. Real-time quantification was performed using the ABI 7900HT and SDS2.0 software. RNA loading was normalized for ⁇ -actin and 18S rRNA. RNA quantity was determined relative to human universal reference RNA (Stratagene) to permit run-to-run comparisons.

- This example describes the protocols for using the candidate gene to transform mouse embryonic fibroblasts.
- a GP 132 cDNA was purchased from GeneCopeia. MEFs were isolated from 100 individual 13.5-day-old embryos. The isolated MEFs were pooled and grown in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS, penicillin and streptomycin. Pooled early-passage (passages 4 to 6) pl6 Ink4a /pl9 Arf -/- mouse embryonic fibroblasts were transfected with (1) pKO-Myc; (2) pKO-Myc and pT24-RasV12; (3) pKO-Myc and GP132 cDNA; or (4) pKO-Myc, pT24-RasV12, and GP 132 cDNA. All transfections were done in duplicate cultures (8 X 10 5 cells) using Lipofectamine Plus in Optimem (Gibco) without serum or antibiotics. Cultures were split 1:3 a day after transfection. Foci were counted on day 12.
- Human cancer cell lines were infected with a retrovirus driving constitutive expression of luciferase. Stable cell lines expressing high levels of luciferase were selected using antibiotic resistance markers in the integrated retrovirus. These cell line were then transfected with siRNA using the Oligofectamine reagent from Invitrogen. Transfected cells were allowed to grow for at least 24 hours. The cells were then trypsinized and resuspended in Hank's Buffered Salt Solution. One million cells were injected subcutaneously into the flanks of BaIbC nude mice. Mice were imaged daily to determine the size of each tumor based upon the level of luciferase detected, an indicator of the number of tumor cells present.
- Human cancer cell lines expressing high levels of the candidate, or cell lines established from the inducible mouse cancer model described above, are transfected with a vector encoding a short hairpin RNA homologous to the candidate cancer-related gene. Expression of the RNA is placed under the control of an inducible U6 promoter. Stable cell lines are established. 5 X 10 5 cells are injected subcutaneously into the flank of 6 week old female inbred SCID mice. Tumor formation is observed visually. For cell lines derived from the inducible mouse model, tumor formation is induced by doxycycline. Expression of the RNAi is induced once tumors were visually identified. In the case of mouse model-derived tumor cells, the mice are fed with doxycycline. Tumor regression is followed using calipers to measure the shrinking tumor diameter.
- Tumor cells derived from the tumor suppressor null (INK4/arf -/-) doxycycline-inducible oncogene mouse model are infected with retrovirus encoding the candidate gene under the control of an IPTG-mducible promoter. Stable cell lines are established. 10 6 cell are injected subcutaneously into the flank of 6 week old female inbred SCID mice. Mice are fed with doxycycline for 7-12 days. 24 hours prior to doxycycline withdrawal, mice are fed IPTG. IPTG feeding is maintained after withdrawal of doxycycline and tumor regression is monitored using calipers.

- mice When melanomas reach a size of 5 mm x 5 mm (anterior- posterior diameter of tumor by dorsal- ventral diameter of tumor), mice are treated with vehicle or 100 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg or 300 mg/kg of 5Z-7-oxozeanol, an inhibitor of GP132 activity (Ninomiya et al., J. Biol. Chem. 278:18485-18490 (2003)). Tumor regression is monitored using sliding calipers to measure changes in the diameters of the tumors.
