Definitions
- This invention relates to glucagon-related peptides and their use for the prevention or treatment of disorders involving the large intestine.
- Glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) is a 33 amino acid peptide expressed in a tissue-specific manner from the pleiotropic glucagon gene. GLP-2 shows remarkable homology in terms of amino acid sequence to glucagon and Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) . Further, different mammalian forms of GLP-2 are highly conserved. For example, the human GLP-2 (hGLP-2) and degu (a south American rodent) GLP-2 differ from rat GLP-2 (rGLP-2) by one and three amino acids respectively. When given exogenously, GLP-2 can produce a marked increase in the proliferation of small intestinal epithelium of the test mice, apparently with no undesirable side effects (Drucker et al .
- GLP-2 has also been shown to increase D-Glucose maximal transport rate across the intestinal basolateral membrane [Cheeseman and Tseng, 1996, American Journal of Physiology 271 :G477-G482] .
- the invention is based, in part, on the discovery that GLP-2 receptor agonists act to enhance functioning of the large intestine. It is accordingly a general object of the present invention to exploit GLP-2 receptor agonists for therapeutic and related purposes.
- the invention provides a method of proliferating the large intestine in a subject in need thereof comprising delivering to the large intestine of the subject a large intestine proliferating amount of GLP-2 or a GLP-2 analog.

- a method to identify peptides useful to treat inflammatory conditions involving the large intestine comprising the steps of: a) obtaining an analog of a vertebrate GLP-2 peptide, the analog having at least one amino acid substitution, deletion, addition, or an amino acid with a blocking group; b) inducing an inflammatory condition of the intestine involving the large intestine in a test animal; c) treating the test animal having an induced inflammatory condition of the large intestine, with the analog using a regimen capable of eliciting an amelioration of the inflammatory condition of the large intestine when utilized for human [Gly 2 ]GLP-2; and d) determining the effect of the analog on the health status or mortality of the test animal compared with control animals not receiving the peptide or determining the mass of the large intestine of test animals compared to control animals not receiving peptide.
- a method useful to identify peptides capable of proliferating the tissue of the large intestine comprising the steps of : a) obtaining an analog of a vertebrate GLP-2 peptide, the analog having at least one amino acid substitution, deletion, addition, or an amino acid with a blocking group; b) delivering the analog to the large intestine of the test animal using a regimen capable of proliferating the large intestine when utilized for human [Gly 2 ] GLP-2 ; and c) assessing the increase in the mass or length of the large intestine after completion of the treatment regime.
- the invention provides a method for growing large intestine tissue or cells therefrom, which comprises the step of culturing the tissue or cells in a culturing medium supplemented with a growth promoting amount of GLP-2 or a GLP-2 analog.

- Female CD1 mice were injected with 2.5 ⁇ g of rat GLP-2 twice daily for 10 days.
- Figure 1A segments of proximal jejunum (PJ) , ileum (I) , and colon (C) were analyzed for total protein concentration.
- Figure IB presents the wet and dry weight of 2 cm segments of proximal jejunum (PJ) , ileum (I) , and colon (C) .

- Figure 3 depicts the post-treatment large intestine mass in grams (g) of each treatment group described in Example 2 infra .
- Figure 4 graphs the post-treatment large intestine length in centimeters (cm) of each treatment group described in Example 2 infra .
- the invention relates to therapeutic and related uses of GLP-2 and GLP-2 analogs, in particular for the amelioration of medical or veterinary conditions in which functioning of the large intestine is impaired by disease or injury.
- the method is usefully applied to treat subjects suffering from an inflammatory condition of the large intestine, or subjects who have undergone resection of the large intestine.
- large intestine means the distal portion of the intestine, extending from its junction with the small intestine to the anus: it comprises the cecum, colon, rectum, and anal canal.
- subject includes a human or other mammal and including livestock and pets.
- GLP-2 receptor agonist means any molecule which on binding to the GLP-2 receptor results in activation of the GLP-2 receptor, and includes for example GLP-2 or peptidic analogs of GLP-2.
- GLP-2 receptor is a G-protein coupled receptor.
- Nucleic acid encoding the GLP-2 receptor has been isolated [see co-pending applications U.S. Serial No. 08/767,224, filed December 13, 1996 and 08/845,546, filed April 24, 1997, both of which are incorporated herein by reference] .
- methods commonly used in this field to identify G-protein coupled receptor agonists may be usefully applied to the GLP-2 receptor.
- Suitable cells such as COS cells are transformed with GLP-2 receptor encoding nucleic acid such that functional receptor is provided at the cell surface.
- agonist activity of a test compounds can be assessed by contacting transformed cells by the test compound; an increase in the intracellular level of cyclic adenosine monophosphate in response to binding of the test compound to the transformed cells indicates agonist activity.
- GLP-2 peptide analogs and selected chemical libraries may be screened for GLP-2 receptor agonist activity using this approach.
- any subject requiring enhancement of the activity of the large intestine may potentially be a candidate for treatment with a GLP-2 agonist according to the invention.
- one group of conditions that may be beneficially treated according to the invention are inflammatory conditions of the intestine involving the large intestine (inflammatory bowel diseases, or "IBD") .
- IBD inflammatory bowel diseases
- Human patients are typically diagnosed as having such a condition after manifesting one or more of the following symptoms : pain in the abdomen, pain with defecation, diarrhea or constipation (best described as a change in the normal bowel "habit"), rectal bleeding, fever, weight loss, anemia, fluid loss leading to dehydration.
- Visualization using sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy can be used to confirm the presence of an inflammatory condition of the large intestine.
- biopsies or a barium enema x-ray can be used to complete the diagnosis .
- Inflammatory bowel diseases include Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, infectious colitis, drug or chemical-induced colitis, diverticulitis , and ischemic colitis.
- Standards for assessing the severity of such diseases are well known in the art (see, for example, Hanuer, 1996, New Eng. J. Med. 334:841-848).
- subjects identified to be at risk of developing an IBD and subjects in remission from a condition involving inflammation of the large intestine may be beneficially treated prophylactically with a GLP-2 agonist according to the invention to inhibit onset of inflammation of the large intestine.
- ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease can be familial diseases, accordingly, linkage studies can identify suspectable individuals (see, for example, Hugot et al . , 1996, Nature 379:821-823). Further, as it is known that the risk of colitis is increased in persons who have "quit" smoking, GLP-2 could be advantageously administered to such subjects particularly suspectable of developing colitis .
- GLP-2 receptor agonists have been demonstrated to increase the length of the large intestine. Accordingly, subjects who would benefit from an increase in the length of the large intestine, for example patients who have undergone 5 partial or non-total resection of the large intestine, may be beneficially treated with GLP-2 receptor agonists according to the invention.
- Example 1 10 therapeutically useful to treat medical or veterinary conditions of the large intestine is described in Example 1.
- ulcerative colitis is inducible in test mice using dextran sulphate (Okayasu et al . , 1990, supra . ) and is used herein in Example 2.
- test mice ingesting 3-10%
- GLP-2 various vertebrate forms include, for example, rat GLP-2 and its homologues including ox GLP-2, porcine G P-2, degu GLP-2, bovine GLP-2, guinea pig GLP-2,
- the invention also encompasses non-conservative substitutions of amino acids in any vertebrate GLP-2 sequence, provided that the non-conservative substitutions occur at amino acid positions known to vary in GLP-2 isolated from different species.
- Non-conserved residue positions are readily determined by aligning all known vertebrate GLP-2 sequences. For example, Buhl et al . , J. Biol. Chem., 1988, 263 (18) : 8621, compared the sequences of human, porcine, rat, hamster, guinea pig, and bovine GLP-2's, and found that positions 13, 16, 19, 27 and 28 were non-conserved (position numbers refer to the analogous position in the human GLP-2 sequence) . Nishi and Steiner, Mol.
- non-conservative substitutions may be made at any position in which alanine-scanning mutagenesis reveals some tolerance for mutation in that substitution of an amino acid residue with alanine does not destroy all intestinotrophic activity at the large intestine.
- the technique of alanine scanning mutagenesis is described by Cunningham and Wells, Science, 1989, 244:1081, and incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Since most GLP-2 sequences consist of only approximately 33 amino acids (and in human GLP- 2 alanine already occurs at four positions) , one of skill in the are could easily test an alanine analogue at each remaining position for intestinotrophic effect, as taught in the examples below.
- the GLP-2 peptide is selected from
- GLP-2's, and GLP-2 analogs which incorporate an N- terminal blocking group and/or an N-terminal extension such as Arg or Arg-Arg; and/or incorporate a C-terminal blocking group and/or a C-terminal extension such as Arg or Arg-Arg.
- GLP-2 analogs are at least as active as native human GLP-2.
- the GLP-2 analog has enhanced activity compared with native human GLP-2. For example, such analogs may exhibit enhanced serum stability, enhanced receptor binding and enhanced signal transducing activity.
- Other modifications to GLP-2 and GLP-2 analogs that may usefully be employed in this invention are those which render the molecule resistant: to oxidation.
- the GLP-2 analog is produced by the alteration of native GLP-2 to confer DPP-IV resistance, e.g., by substituting a Gly for Ala at position two.
- the DPP-IV-resistant class of GLP-2 analogs possess particularly advantageous properties. Mammalian GLP- 2 species have been found to be sensitive to cleavage by DPP- IV enzyme. This sensitivity to DPP-IV is the result of the recognition sequence Ala 2 Asp 3 found in all mammalian forms of GLP-2.
- the GLP-2 analogs are members of a class of GLP-2 analogs which incorporate at position 2 and or position 3 a replacement amino acid which confers on the GLP-2 analog relative resistance to DPP-IV mediated cleavage, as determined by any convenient in vitro or in vivo assessment technique that is able to detect the
- a DPP-IV resistant GLP-2 analog is revealed as that GLP-2 analog which is processed or degraded at a rate that is measurably slower than the rate at which human GLP-2 is processed or degraded, under the same conditions.
- the position two class of GLP-2 analogs is preferred herein.
- These Ala 2 -substituted GLP-2 analogs can incorporate at position two a structurally wide variety of Ala- replacement amino acids to achieve relative resistance to DPP-IV digestion.
- a similarly wide variety of Ala- replacement amino acids allow also for the retention by the analog of intestinotrophic activity.
- the position two analogs showing DPP-IV resistance are screened in an assay of intestinotrophic activity. Such an assay is described in co-pending application U.S. Serial No. 08/669,791, filed on June 28, 1996, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference .
- the Ala 2 replacements include stereoisomers of amino isomer ⁇ that would otherwise be substrates for DPP-IV, for example D-Ala, D-HPr and D-Pro; naturally occurring amino acids other than Ala, HPr and Pro which provide a basic or uncharged side chain, for example, Glu, Lys , Arg, Leu, He, Gly and Val .
- Particularly preferred GLP-2 analogs include [D-Ala 2 ] rGLP-2, [Gly 2 ]rGLP-2, [Val 2 ] rGLP-2 and [Gly 2 ] hGLP-2.
- blocking groups represented by Rl and R2 are chemical groups that are routinely used in the art of peptide chemistry to confer biochemical stability and resistance to digestion by exopeptidase .
- Suitable N-terminal protecting groups include, for example, C ⁇ alkanoyl groups such as acetyl . Also suitable as N-terminal protecting groups are
- Suitable C- terminal protecting groups include groups which form ketones or amides at the carbon atom of the C-terminal carboxyl , or groups which form esters at the oxygen atom of the carboxyl .
- Ketone and ester- forming groups include alkyl groups, particularly branched or unbranched C 1-5 alkyl groups, e.g., methyl, ethyl, and propyl groups, while amide-forming groups include amino functions such as primary amine, or alkylamino functions, e.g., mono-C ⁇ salkylamino and di-C ⁇ j alkylamino groups such as methylamino, ethylamino, dimethylamino, diethylamino, methylethylamino and the like.
- Amino acid analogues are also suitable for protecting the C-terminal end of the present compounds, for example, decarboxylated amino acid analogues such as agmatine.
- GLP-2 selected for promoting the growth of large intestinal tissue can be prepared by a variety of techniques well known for generating peptide products. Vertebrate forms of GLP-2 can of course be obtained by extraction from the natural source, using an appropriate combination of protein isolation techniques. As described by Buhl et al . , supra, porcine GLP-2 isolation and purification is achieved from acid-ethanol extracts of ileal mucosa by a combination of size selection and HPLC-based fractionation, with the aid of antibody raised against synthetic proglucagon 126-159, to monitor work-up.
- GLP-2 As an alternative to GLP-2 extraction, those forms of GLP-2 that incorporate only L-amino acids, whether vertebrate GLP-2 or analogs thereof, can be produced in commercial quantities by application of recombinant DNA technology.
- DNA coding for the desired GLP-2 or GLP-2 analog is incorporated into an expression vector and transformed into a microbial, e . g. , yeast, or other cellular host, which is then cultured under conditions appropriate for GLP-2 expression.
- a microbial e . g. , yeast, or other cellular host
- a variety of gene expression systems have been adapted for this purpose, and typically drive expression of the desired gene from expression controls used naturally by the chosen host. Because GLP-2 does not require post translational
- GLP-2 peptide may usefully be placed under expression controls of the lac, trp or PL genes of E. coli.
- the host can be adapted to express GLP-2 peptide as a fusion protein in which the GLP-2 is linked releasable to a carrier protein that facilitates isolation and stability of the expression product .
- GLP-2 peptide is grown from its C-terminal, resin-conjugated residue by the sequential addition of appropriately protected amino acids, using either the Fmoc or tBoc protocols, as described for instance by Orskov et al . , Febs Letters, 1989, 247(2) :193- 196.
- N- and/or C- blocking groups protocols conventional to solid phase peptide synthesis methods can also be applied.
- C-terminal blocking groups for example, synthesis of the desired peptide is typically performed using, as solid phase, a supporting resin that has been chemically modified so that cleavage from the resin results in a GLP-2 peptide having the desired C-terminal blocking group.
- synthesis is performed using a
- FMOC protecting groups in combination with DVB resin derivatized with methoxyalkoxybenxyl alcohol or equivalent linker, can be used for this purpose, with cleavage from the support being effected by TFA in dichloromethane. Esterification of the suitably activated carboxyl function, e.g., with DCC, can then proceed by addition of the desired alcohol, followed by deprotection and isolation of the esterified GLP-2 peptide.
- N-terminal blocking groups can be achieved while the synthesized GLP-2 peptide is still attached to the resin, for instance by treatment with suitable anhydride and nitrile.
- the resin- coupled peptide can be treated with 20% acetic anhydride in acetonitrile.
- the N-blocked GLP-2 peptide can then be cleaved from the resin, deprotected and subsequently isolated. Once the desired GLP-2 peptide has been synthesized, cleaved from the resin and fully deprotected, the peptide is then purified to ensure the recovery of a single oligopeptide having the selected amino acid sequence.
- RP-HPLC reversed-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography
- alkylated silica columns e . g. , C 4 -, C 8 -, or C 18 - silica.
- RP-HPLC reversed-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography
- ion-exchange HPLC can be employed to separate peptide species on the basis of their charge characteristics . Column fractions are collected, and those containing peptide of the desired/required purity are optionally pooled.
- the GLP-2 peptide is then treated in the established manner to exchange the cleavage acid (e.g., TFA) with a pharmaceutically acceptable acid, such as acetic, hydrochloric, phosphoric, maleic, tartaric, succinic and the like, to generate a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt of the peptide.
- a pharmaceutically acceptable acid such as acetic, hydrochloric, phosphoric, maleic, tartaric, succinic and the like
- the GLP-2 peptide or its salt is provided, in one aspect of the invention, in pharmaceutically acceptable form, e . g. , as a preparation that is sterile-filtered, e.g., through a 0.22 ⁇ filter, and substantially pyrogen-free .
- the GLP-2 peptide to be formulated migrates as a single or individualized peak on HPLC, exhibits uniform and authentic amino acid composition and sequence upon analysis thereof, and otherwise meets standards set by the various national bodies which regulate quality of pharmaceutical products.
- the chosen GLP-2 or GLP-2 analog is formulated with a carrier that is pharmaceutically acceptable and is appropriate for administering the peptide to the subject by the chosen route of administration so as to deliver the peptide to the large intestine.
- Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are those used conventionally with peptide-based drugs, such as diluents, excipients and the like. Reference may be made to "Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences", 17th Ed., Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Penn. , 1985, for guidance on drug formulations generally.
- the compounds are formulated for administration by infusion, e.g., when used as liquid nutritional supplements for
- the compounds may be administered in a vehicle such as distilled water or, more desirably, in saline, phosphate buffered saline or 5% dextrose solution.
- Water solubility of the GLP-2 or GLP-2 analog may be enhanced, if desired, by incorporating a solubility enhancer, such as acetic acid or sodium hydroxide.
- aqueous carrier or vehicle can be supplemented for use as injectables with an amount of gelatin effective to achieve the depot effect are expected to lie in the range from 10-20%.
- Alternative gelling agents such as hyaluronic acid, may also be useful as depoting agents (also veterinary applications) .
- the GLP-2 or GLP-2 analog may be formulated for administration to patients and delivery to the large intestine by other routes.
- Oral dosage forms such as tablets, capsules and the like, can be formulated in accordance with standard pharmaceutical practice.
- the compounds may also be formulated in rectal compositions such as suppositories or retention enemas, e.g., containing conventional suppository bases such as cocoa butter or other glycerides .
- the GLP-2's and GLP-2 analogs of the invention may also be formulated as a slow release implantation device for extended and sustained administration of GLP-2.
- sustained release formulations include composites of bio-compatible polymers, such as poly (lactic acid), poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) , methylcellulose, hyaluronic acid, collagen, and the like.
- bio-compatible polymers such as poly (lactic acid), poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) , methylcellulose, hyaluronic acid, collagen, and the like.
- the GLP-2's and GLP-2 analogs of the invention may also be administered to a subject in admixture with at least one other peptide hormone selected from the group consisting of IGF-1, IGF-2 and GH.
- at least one other peptide hormone selected from the group consisting of IGF-1, IGF-2 and GH have been shown to have synergistic effects on the growth of the large bowel ⁇ see U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 08/763,177, filed December 10, 1996, incorporated herein by reference).
- the invention encompasses GLP-2 and GLP-2 analog formulations which do not contain IGF-1, IGF-2 or GH peptide hormones.
- the present invention provides in one of its aspects a package, in the form of a sterile-filled vial or ampoule, that contains a tissue growth promoting amount of the GLP-2 or GLP-2 analog, in either unit dose or multi-dose amounts, wherein the package incorporates a label
- the package contains the GLP-2 or GLP-2 analog and the desired carrier, as an administration-ready formulation.
- the package provides the GLP-2 or GLP-2 analog in a form, such as a lyophilized form, suitable for reconstitution in a suitable carrier, such as phosphate-buffered saline.
- the package is a sterile-filled vial or ampoule containing an injectable solution which comprises an effective, large intestine proliferating amount of GLP-2 or GLP-2 analog dissolved in an aqueous vehicle.
- the GLP-2 or GLP-2 analog is administered to treat patients that would benefit from growth of the tissue of the large intestine.
- patients who would benefit from either increased large intestinal mass and consequent increased large intestine mucosal function are candidates for treatment with GLP-2 or GLP-2 analog.
- Particular conditions that may be treated with GLP-2 include the various forms of inflammatory bowel disease including colitis and IBD, as well as patients who have undergone partial or sub-total resection of the large intestine.
- the therapeutic efficacy of the GLP-2 treatment may be monitored by: subjective improvement in abdominal pain, diarrhea or rectal bleeding; weight gain; normalization of hemoglobin or white blood cell count and sedimentation rate; improved appearance of the intestine on colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy, improvement of intestine function as assessed radiologically by barium enema; histological improvement as assessed by specimen biopsy; and by amelioration (reduction or elimination) of the symptoms associated with these conditions.
- GLP-2 or GLP- 2 analog is administrated to a patient with an inflammatory- condition involving the large intestine in an amount sufficient to ameliorate the intestinal discomfort, bleeding and diarrhea caused by the condition.
- GLP-2 or GLP- 2 analog is administrated to a patient with an inflammatory- condition involving the large intestine in an amount sufficient to ameliorate the intestinal discomfort, bleeding and diarrhea caused by the condition.
- 18 GLP-2 analog may be administered to patients who are identified as being at risk of developing IBD.
- the therapeutic dosing and regimen most appropriate for patient treatment will of course vary with the disease or condition to be treated, and according to the patient's weight and other parameters .
- the results presented hereinbelow demonstrate that a dose of GLP-2 or GLP-2 analog equivalent to about 1 mg/kg (or less, see below) administered twice daily over 10 days can ameliorate inflammatory conditions of the large intestine. It is expected that much smaller doses, e.g., in the ⁇ g/kg range, and shorter or longer duration or frequency of treatment, will also produce therapeutically useful results, i.e., a statistically significant increase particularly in large intestine mass.
- the dosage sizes and dosing regimen most appropriate for human use are guided by the results herein presented, and can be confirmed in properly designed clinical trials.
- An effective dosage and treatment protocol may be determined by conventional means, starting with a low dose in laboratory animals and then increasing the dosage while monitoring the effects, and systematically varying the dosage regimen as well . Numerous factors may be taken into consideration by a clinician when determining an optimal dosage for a given subject. Primary among these is the amount of GLP-2 normally circulating in the plasma, which is on the order of 151 pmol/mL in the resting state, rising to 225 pmol/mL after nutrient ingestion for healthy adult humans (Orskov, C. and Hoist, J. J., 1987, Scand. J. Clin. Lab. Invest. 47:165).
- a typical human dose of a GLP-2 peptide would be from about 10 ⁇ g/kg body weight/day to about 10 mg/kg/day, preferably from about 50 ⁇ g/kg/day to about 5 mg/kg/day, and most preferably about 100 ⁇ g/kg/day to 1 mg/kg/day.
- the invention provides for the treatment of patient candidates as just identified using implanted cells that have either been conditioned in vi tro or in vivo by prior incubation or treatment with GLP-2 or GLP-2 analog, or have been engineered genetically to produce it.
- Conditioning of the cells ex vivo can be achieved simply by growing the cells or tissue to be transplanted in a medium that has been supplemented with a growth-promoting amount of the GLP-2 or GLP-2 analog and is otherwise appropriate for culturing of those cells.
- the cells can, after an appropriate conditioning period, then be implanted either directly into the patient or can be encapsulated using established cell encapsulation technology, and then implanted.
- Yet another aspect of the invention encompasses treating animals in vivo with GLP-2 peptides in order to promote the growth of large intestine tissue. After subsequent enlargement of the large intestine these tissues may then be used in a xenotransplantation procedure.
- GLP-2 peptide treatment can be advantageous prior to xenotransplantation of the tissue from a non-human animal to a human because the size of the transplanted organ or tissue often limits the success of this procedure.
- a porcine donor animal may be treated with GLP-2 peptide in order to increase large intestine size prior to xenotransplantation of the porcine large intestine tissue into a human in need of this organ .
- the cells to be implanted can be raised in vi tro from a cell that has been engineered genetically to express or to over-express either the glucagon gene or, more directly, DNA coding solely for GLP-2.
- the sequence of such glucagon gene can be raised in vi tro from a cell that has been engineered genetically to express or to over-express either the glucagon gene or, more directly, DNA coding solely for GLP-2.
- - 20 - DNA can readily be determined from the amino acid sequence of the selected GLP-2, with the limitation that only GLP-2 forms containing genetically encoded amino acids can be produced in this manner.
- Various viral vectors suitable for introduction of genetic information into human cells, can be employed and will incorporate the GLP-2-encoding DNA under expression controls functional in the host cells. Once altered genetically, the engineered cells can then be implanted using procedures established in the art. (See, for example, Drucker et al . , 1996, PNAS:USA, 93:7911-7916.) The invention having been described, the following examples are offered by way of illustration and not limitation.
- mice Female CD1 mice (6 weeks old) were treated with rat GLP- 2, 2.5 ⁇ g twice daily (subcutaneously) for 10 days. Following treatment, mice were fasted 24 hours, anesthetized with C0 2 and sacrificed. The small and large intestine was removed from the peritoneal cavity (from pylorus to cecum) , cleaned, weighed and measured.
- proximal jejunum, ileum and colon were obtained from each animal from the identical anatomical positions (as measured from the pylorus and cecum) and analyzed for protein content, wet weight and dry weight (expressed as mean ⁇ S.E.M in mg/ 2 cm segment) .
- Example 2 This experiment was designed to test the activity of GLP-2 in ameliorating disease symptoms in an animal model of colitis.
- a 5% dextran sulfate solution was used to induce ulcerative colitis in test mice (Okayasu et al . , 1990, 98:694-702) .
- Forty female CD1 mice Forty female CD1 mice (six-weeks old and approximately 25 g, obtained from Charles River) were used in the experiment. On day 1, the mice were weighed using a Mettler PJ300 scale and randomly allocated to 1 of eight treatment groups. The groups, each consisting of 5 mice housed together, were treated as follows:

Group 7) DS from day 2 to day 9, switch to normal water day 10, PBS injections given from day 6 to day 16, animals sacrificed day 16.
- Dextran sulfate (USB, Cleveland, Ohio, MW 40,000-50,000) was dissolved into double distilled water, and placed into the water bottles. Water bottles were topped up daily. GLP- 2 peptide was reconstituted and aliquoted on the day prior to the first day of injection and kept in a -20 C freezer. Human [Gly 2 ]GLP-2 (5mg/mL) was reconstituted in PBS. One microliter of 5N NaOH was required to dissolve the peptide in a volume of 1 ml. The injection volume of 0.5ml was constant throughout the experiment using 1/2 cc U-100 Insulin Syringes Becton Dickinson and Company, NJ) .
- Control mice received the same volume (0.5ml) of phosphate buffered saline (PBS - 137mM NaCl, 2.7mM KCl , 4.3mM Na 2 HP0 4 .7H 2 0, 1.4mM KH 2 P0 4 , pH 7.3) .
- PBS phosphate buffered saline
- Subcutaneous injections in the right hind quarter began on various days depending on the treatment conditions given above. All injections were twice a day, at 8 am and 6pm. Mice in cages 1 and 2 were fasted on the day prior to sacrifice. Body weight measurements were made on day 1, day 7, day 12 and the day of sacrifice. The weight and length of the large intestine of each animal was measured after sacrifice.
- Figure 3 illustrates the effects of treatment on post- treatment large intestinal mass.
- administration of GLP-2 agonist causes an increase in large intestinal mass (compare groups 1 and 2) .
- GLP-2 agonist is provided at the same time as induction of
- GLP-2 agonist also caused a significant increase in large intestine length, as shown in Figure 4 (compare groups 1 and 2) . This effect was also exhibited, although to a lesser degree, during experimentally induced colitis (compare groups 3 and 4) .
- GLP-2 agonist not only has an ameliorating effect on the symptoms of inflammatory conditions involving the large intestine (when provided at the same time as intestine inflammation is induced) , but also causes an increase in both large intestinal weight and length.
- GLP-2 agonist was shown to decrease mortality in mice exposed to high levels of colitis- inducing dextran sulphate .
- mice Two groups of mice, 5-6 weeks of age, (10 mice per group) were given ad libitum access to drinking water supplemented with 10% dextran sulfate (same protocol as in Example 2, only increased concentration of dextran sulfate). Mice were also treated with 2 subcutaneous injections per day (0.5 ml) of either saline, or [GLY 2 ] hGLP-2, 2.5 ⁇ g per injection. After 9 days, the experiment was stopped.
- mice in the saline-treated group survived, whereas 7 of 10 mice in the GLP-2 agonist-treated group survived. Accordingly, GLP-2 -treated mice were better resistant to the effects of dextran sulphate, and had decreased mortality, than mice treated with PBS alone.
