Definitions

  • a variety of factors can influence the activity of a cell. Frequently a factor exerts its influence by interacting with a receptor on the surface of a cell. After binding to the receptor, the signal which determines the cellular response to the factor can be mediated through a number of different events, including internalization of the factor or alterations of the receptor caused by ligand binding.
  • a number of different factors are involved in the maturation of a pluripotent stem cell into a fully differentiated cell. The activities of these factors during the course of hematopoietic differentiation have resulted in these factors being characterized as early factors or late factors.
  • factors such as interleukin-3 (IL-3) and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) are considered early factors, while erythropoietin (Epo), macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF), and granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) are considered late factors.
  • IL-3 interleukin-3
  • GM-CSF granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor
  • Epo erythropoietin
  • M-CSF macrophage colony stimulating factor
  • G-CSF granulocyte colony stimulating factor
  • IL-3 and GM-CSF act on pluripotent cells before they become committed to a particular hematopoietic pathway. After the events stimulated by these factors are underway, such lineage restricted cells become receptive to further differentiation mediated by such late factors as Epo, (which leads to the maturation of erythrocytes), G-CSF (which leads cells into the granulocytic pathway), and M-CSF (which leads to the maturation of macrophages) .
  • Epo which leads to the maturation of erythrocytes
  • G-CSF which leads cells into the granulocytic pathway
  • M-CSF which leads to the maturation of macrophages
  • the present invention concerns hybrid molecules comprising early and late differentiation factors produced by genetic manipulation.
  • the local concentration of the late factor is very high at the surface of a cell to which the early factor is bound.
  • binding of late factors to any remaining low-affinity receptors e.g. Epo receptors, could be enhanced, thus reducing the amount of late factor required to stimulate the cell.
  • such early factor may act more specifically to stimulate only the desired lineage, thus reducing any undesirable effects mediated by the early factor.
  • it is considerably easier to produce and administer to a patient a single factor with two activities rather it would to produce and administer two separate factors.

  • Hybrid growth factor plasmid amplification Individual transfected CHO cell clones producing significant amounts of the desired hybrid growth factor were identified by ELISA capture assay, Table II. The clones were plated out and placed in medium with increasing concentrations of MSX, ranging between 100 ⁇ M and 500 M. Colonies surviving at the highest concentration of MSX were isolated and grown to confluence. Serum and drug-free medium was then added to the cells and collected after 4 days. At the time of collection fresh serum and drug-free medium was added to the cells. A total of 3 collections were taken. The amount of hybrid growth factor produced in the collections was determined by Epo or G-CSF ELISA assay (Table III) and appropriate collections were pooled. The pooled CM was used as a source of hybrid growth factors in all cellular assays.
  • Epo bioactivitv of the IL-3:Epo and Epo:IL-3 hybrid growth factors was evaluated ( Figure 4).
  • This line derived from FDC-P1 cells expresses the murine Epo receptor (10), and is dependent on either murine IL-3 or Epo (murine and human) for growth ( Figure 4).
  • IL-3 is a species specific growth factor
  • murine IL-3-deoendent cells do not respond to human IL-3 (12). Therefore, when using the FDC-Pl/ER cell line to evaluate functionality, only the activity of the Epo moiety is measured.
  • CM containing rHu Epo and levels of hybrid growth factors sufficient to support maximal proliferation were added to the culture medium.
  • the cells were then pulsed with ( H) thymidine and the radioactivity incorporated into the DNA was used as a measure of cell growth.
  • Cells exposed to CHO CM which did not contain cytokines did not support the proliferation of FDC-Pl/ER cells.
  • Each of the fusion proteins when present in excess stimulated the growth of FDC-Pl/ER cells to the same extent as did rHu Epo. ( Figure 4)
  • Epo linkage of Epo to a second protein does not impair its ability to bind its receptor or transduce a signal. Epo could therefore be useful as a carrier protein which would target a molecule or compound of interest to those cells expressing the Epo receptor.
  • IL-3 plus Epo bioactivitv of the IL-3:Epo and Epo:IL-3 hybrid growth factors were measured.
  • proliferation of a human cell line, TF-1 (7), dependent on IL-3 and Epo for growth was measured. This experiment was done on a cytokine weight basis and the results are represented on a molar basis ( Figure 6).
  • rHu IL-3 (R & D Systems) made in E coli is nonglycosylated.
  • rHu Epo and hybrid growth factors made in CHO cells are glycosylated. Therefore, when equal weights of the growth factors were added to the cell culture medium, approximately twice the number of unglycosylated molecules of IL-3 were added as compared to glycosylated Epo and hybrid growth factor molecules.
  • CHO CM containing rhu IL-3 plus rHu Epo and levels of hybrid growth factors which support suboptimal proliferation of TF-1 cells adapted for growth in IL-3 were added to the culture medium. Cell growth was monitored by radioactivity incorporated into the DNA.
  • Figure 6 The activitjes of IL-3 plus Epo were not synergistic in this cell line, nor were they additive. At these low levels, the activities of the IL-3:Epo Flex and IL-3:Epo Short fusion proteins were comparable to those of a mixture of the two cytokines. Epo:IL-3 Short activity was again reduced in comparison to that of the IL-3:Epo hybrid growth factors and the combination of IL-3 plus Epo. This is likely to be due to decreased IL-3 activity.
  • a Mononuclear human bone marrow cells were used as a target cell population, b BFU-E were counted 14 days after plating. c CFU-E were counted 7 days after plating.
  • IL-3 bioactivitv of the IL-3:G-CSF hybrid growth factor To determine whether the IL-3 moiety of the IL-3:G-CSF hybrid growth factor was functional, its ability to support growth of the IL-3-dependent human cell line TF-1, was evaluated in a dose response experiment (Figure 9). Quantitation of IL-3:G-CSF protein in CHO CM was performed using a G-CSF ELISA assay in which the standard is unglycosylated G-CSF. Since the IL-3:G-CSF fusion protein is glycosylated, measurements are approximate. G-CSF does not support growth of TF-1 cells ( Figure 9), therefore, the only activity measured in this assay system was IL-3.
  • CHO CM containing rhu IL-3, rHu G-CSF, and IL-3:G-CSF hybrid growth factor were added to the culture medium.
  • the radioactivity incorporated into the DNA was used as a measure of cell proliferation.
  • CHO CM did not support growth of TF-1 cells.
  • the mixture of rhu IL-3 plus rHu G-CSF stimulated proliferation to the same extent as did rhu IL-3 alone.
  • the IL-3:G-CSF hybrid growth factor induced a dose response similar to that observed with IL-3.
  • G-CSF bioactivitv of the IL-3:6-CSF hybrid growth factor To evaluate the biological function of the G-CSF moiety of the IL-3-.G-CSF hybrid growth factor, its ability to stimulate proliferation of the murine cell line, NSF-60, was tested. (Figure 10) G-CSF, unlike IL-3 is not species specific, therefore, human G-CSF will actively support growth of murine cells (21). Cells exposed to CHO CM containing no growth factors, supported the proliferation of NSF-60 cells to the same extent as did cells grown in medium alone. The IL-3:G-CSF hybrid growth factor stimulated growth in a dose dependent manner equivalent to that observed with G-CSF.
  • IL-3 plus G-CSF bioactivitv of the IL-3:G-CSF hybrid growth factor The biological function of the IL-3:G-CSF hybrid growth factor was evaluated by its ability to support growth of an IL-3-, G-CSF-dependent human cell line, AML193.
  • CHO CM containing rHu IL-3, rHu G-CSF and IL-3:G-CSF hybrid growth factor were added to the culture medium. Cell proliferation was monitored by incorporation of radioactivity into the DNA. ( Figure 11). Both IL-3 and G-CSF supported growth of this cell line in a dose dependent manner. The two cytokine activities were not synergistic, nor were they additive.
  • the IL-3:G-CSF hybrid growth factor stimulated AML193 proliferation to a greater extent than did the mixture of the two cytokines.
