Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of clinical immunology and in particular to the field of immunoprophylaxis and therapy of degenerative disease associated with high expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
  • the invention is based on the discovery that prophylactic treatment with the protein known as HMGBl is capable of inducing, in a human subject, the production of circulating antibodies which neutralise the biological activity of the endogenous HMGBl in biological fluids.
  • the HMGBl biological activity comprises HMGB l 's ability to promote the release of the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-ce which is present in an abnormal and uncontrolled amount in numerous systemic inflammatory conditions such as, for example, sepsis, septic shock, hemorrhagic shock, and other related pathologic conditions.
  • Sepsis also called septicemia, is a systemic syndrome that develops following the amplification and de-regulation of the immunological response to a massive bacterial infection. Initially, the symptoms of this pathologic condition include fever, mental confusion, hypotension, impaired renal function and thrombocytopenia. Often, it evolves into a clinical stage of severe sepsis which is characterized by non-pharmacologically controllable hypotension, altered coagulation and organ dysfunction affecting in particular the kidney and lungs.
  • a recent epidemiological study of sepsis reported a frequency in the USA of 3 cases every 1.000 inhabitants per year, totaling approximately 750.000 yearly cases, with a mortality rate of 29% (corresponding to 215.000 deaths), mortality rate increasing to 50% in the presence of septic shock (Angus D.

  • massive activation of phagocytes results in the uncontrolled release into the circulation of inflammatory cytokines. This cytokine release is followed by the activation of endothelial cells which amplifies the inflammation by promoting endothelial adhesion of circulating lymphocytes with subsequent oxidative damage and loss of vascular integrity.

  • the two DNA-binding domains comprise approximately 80 amino acids, 29% of which are identical and 65% similar, and are assembled in three alpha-helix structures which form an L (Read et al., 1993, Nucleic Acids res., 21:3427-3436).
  • HMGBl classified as a chromosomic non-histonic nucleic protein, is stable in acid conditions (perchloric acid 5%) and can be separated from chromatin by saline extraction with sodium chloride 0.35 M.

It binds to DNA with structural non sequential specificity determining a characteristic folding of its helices which facilitates the formation of nucleoprotein complexes capable both of stabilizing the structure and of binding with specific transcription factors.

  • This receptor is present in numerous cell types, including endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, mononuclear phagocytes and neurons, and it is involved both in a number of pathological conditions, such as diabetes and atherosclerosis, and in numerous physiological processes, such as inflammation and elongation of neurites during embryonic development (Hutten et al., 1999, J. Biol. Chem., 274: 19919-19924).
  • Another effect correlated with the binding of RAGE by HMGBl is tumor growth and formation of metastases.
  • HMGl with RAGE activates endocellular molecules which act as effectors in the mechanisms of cancer proliferation and invasion (Taguchi A. et al., 2000, Nature, 405:354-360).

Abstract

Cette invention a pour objet l'utilisation de HMGB1 ou de fragments immunogéniques de celui-ci pour immunoprophylaxie active et traitement de conditions inflammatoires systémiques, telles que septicémie, choc endotoxique, choc hémorragique et autres syndromes apparentés. L'administration de HMGB1, ou de peptides qui en sont dérivés, induit une réponse immunitaire caractérisée par la production d'anticorps anti-HMGB1 capables de neutraliser l'activité du HMGB1 circulant en inhibant sa capacité à favoriser la sécrétion de cytokine TNF-α pro-inflammatoire. L'efficacité du traitement préventif peut être déterminée par une méthode qui mesure l’activité neutralisante des anticorps contre l'effet biologique du HMGB1 sur les monocytes humains.
