Definitions

• the present invention relates to the use of molecules capable of inhibiting the binding between NGF and its receptor, TrkA.
• TrkA a receptor for NGF
• it relates to antibodies that, by blocking the biological activity of NGF, have a prolonged analgesic effect. Owing to the enduring analgesic effect thereof, they provide an advantageous therapy for pathologies with persistent forms of pain, known also as chronic pain, such as but not limited to neuropathic or oncological pain.
• the nociceptive signals afferent to the spinal cord are carried by the fibres A ⁇ and C, the cell bodies of which (primary sensitive neurons) are located in the spinal dorsal ganglia (DRG).
• the primary sensitive neurons release glutamate together with ATP as an excitatory neurotransmitter, and various other substances such as substance P and CGRP (calcitonin-gene-related-peptide), (Hunt and Mantyh, 2001).
• excitatory neurotransmitters are controlled by various classes of receptors present on the afferent terminals including those sensitive to capsaicin (vanilloid receptors, VRl), those activated by GABA, those activated by ATP itself and those activated by cannabinoids (CBl) (Sivilotti and Nistri, 1991; Hunt and Mantyh, 2001; Khakh, 2001; Morisset et al., 2001).
• VIP vanilloid receptors
• CBl cannabinoids
• One of the physiopathological whereby chronic pain occurs is allodynia, i.e. the transformation of stimuli that are not normally painful into painful sensations.
• This phenomenon involves various ionic currents and therefore different channels of the "ligand-gated" type, including the receptor for the capsaicin, VRl, and the ionotropic receptors for ATP (Khakh, 2001).
• the simultaneous activation of the receptors for VRl and of those for ATP on spinal nociceptive interneurons generates a considerable accumulation of the excitatory synaptic signals with reinforcement of the painful stimulus transmission (Nakatsuka et al., 2002). From these observations it is therefore clear that the ATP receptors (especially those belonging to the P2X3 class) play a fundamental role in the pain pathways (Burnstock, 2001).
• nociceptive neurons The development of sensitive nociceptive neurons depends greatly on NGF, and the responses of the adult nociceptors are modulated by the same factor (Julius and Basbaum, 2001). In particular, NGF exerts acute sensitisation to the capsaicin algogenic stimulus (Shu and Mendell, 1999). From a functional standpoint, nociceptive neurons, following chronic inflammation, develop alterations in the frequency and duration of their action potential. These phenomena regress by blocking endogenous NGF, leading to a significant attenuation of the hyperexcitability typical of states of chronic pain (Djouhri et al., 2001).
• NGF action in defining the pain threshold in adult nociceptors is mediated by the TrkA receptor, also through modulation of the response mediated by the VRl receptor present on the nociceptive terminals.
• the TrkA dependent potentiation of the VRl response is thought to occur through the intracellular transduction pathway of the phospholipase C gamma ((PLCgamma, Chuang et al., 2001).
• the peripheral NGF levels are increased in inflammatory processes, while the administration of exogenous NGF has a hyperalgesic effect on rats and produces muscular pain in humans.
• NGF produces hypersensitisation to heat stimulation in humans and mammals in general. NGF is released by mast cells, fibroblasts and other cell types in the peripheral sites where inflammatory processes occur.
• mast cells appear to play a fundamental role (Woolf et al., 1996). As they produce NGF and at the same time express functional TrkA receptors on their surface (Nilsson et al., 1997), they are able to respond to NGF itself, in the presence of lysophosphatidylserine (Horigome et al., 1993; Kawamoto et al., 2002). As a result, the NGF/TrkA system appears to mediate mastocyte activation through an autocrine positive feedback mechanism which allows local amplification of the algogenic inflammatory signal.
• TrkA hereditary recessive autosomic syndrome
• CIPA congenital insensitivity to pain with anhydrosis
• the authors of the present invention make use of antibodies (directed against the TrkA receptor) which are able to block the biological effects of NGF mediated by TrkA.
• the reagents MNAC 13 is of particular interest.
• the MNAC 13 antibody is a mouse monoclonal antibody directed against the human TrkA receptor (Cattaneo et al., 1999; Pesavento et al., 2000), particularly effective in the inhibition of TrkA activation by NGF and the downstream biological functions, both in vitro and in vivo (Cattaneo et al., 1999; Pesavento et al., 2000).
• Anti-TrkA antibodies including the MNAC 13 antibody, having an antagonist activity preventing the functional activation of TrkA by NGF" are disclosed in EP 1.181.318. Derivatives of such antibody are also disclosed in WO2005/061540. However the therapeutic or preventive effect of such molecules on chronic pain is not disclosed.
• the antibodies were characterised in detail from the point of view of the structure (Covaceuszach et al., 2001) and from the molecular interaction with the TrkA receptor (Covaceuszach et al., 2005). On the basis of such in-depth structural knowledge, by means of an innovative method a humanised version of MNAC 13 was generated (Hu- MNAC 13), with the same features of antigen binding as the parental antibody (patent application WO2005/061540).
• cholinergic neurons of the basal forebrain a neuronal population affected by various forms of progressive neurodegeneration, including Alzheimer's disease (Saper et al., 1985), express the TrkA receptor and depend on NGF for correct functioning (Holtzman et al., 1992).
• the international patent application WO 01/78698 proposes the use of an NGF antagonist for preventing or treating chronic visceral pain, but not neuropathic or oncological pain.
• the antagonist can bind both NGF and the TrkA receptor, it is not demonstrated that upon binding of the antagonist to TrkA the receptor is functionally blocked.
• MNAC 13 antibody to block the biological activity of NGF/TrkA
• the antibody and its humanised versions were tested in various animal models of persistent pain, in particular in the "Chronic Constriction Injury” model (CCI, chronic constriction injury of the sciatic nerve), for assessment of chronic pain of neuropathic nature (Bennett and Xie, 1988).
• the object of the present invention is the use of an anti-TrkA antibody that is able to inhibit the binding between NGF and TrkA, for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of chronic pain.
• the antibody blocks the biological activity of TrkA i.e. is an antagonistic antibody.
• a molecule that blocks the biological activity of TrkA refers to a molecule that acts as an antagonist in terms of the NGF binding to the TrkA receptor, and which can be defined as a synthetic molecule or a monoclonal antibody or a biological/synthetic derivative thereof which: i) binds to TrkA; and ii) inhibits the binding of NGF to the "native" TrkA receptor expressed on the surface of living cells; and iii) blocks the biological activity deriving from NGF binding to the same TrkA receptor.
• blocking the biological activity does not simply mean blocking activation of the receptor, defined as blocking the conversion process of the receptor itself into an “active” state, but also the functional neutralisation of biological consequences downstream of the activation process: second messengers, new gene expression, phenotypic and functional modifications both at cell and system level.
• the molecule of the invention is not only able to block TrIcA in a classic in vitro test (test of neuritic growth in PC 12 cells), but also in vivo (functional block of the cholinergic neurons of the basal forebrain and block of the nociception in a classic "hot plate” test).
