Definitions
- the present invention falls within the field of protein enhancement. It relates to the improvement of human ⁇ interferon (IFN ⁇ ), as well as compositions comprising an improved IFN ⁇ , a nucleic acid encoding it, and their uses.
- IFN ⁇ human ⁇ interferon
- IFN ⁇ is a cytokine of 166 amino acids.
- the molecule has a signal peptide allowing its membrane translocation and its secretion, a cleavage site and a so-called mature protein part.
- the signal peptide of IFN ⁇ is made up of the first 23 or 20 first amino acids according to the authors. Indeed, there is doubt in the literature on the presence of the amino acid triplet Cys-Tyr-Cys (CYC) in N-terminal of the mature sequence.
- CYC Cys-Tyr-Cys
- IFN ⁇ exists as a homodimer in which the two subunits are not covalently bound. Each subunit has two N-glycosylation sites (positions 48 and 120 of the 166 aa precursor).
- each of these monomers has six alpha helices with a compact part consisting of the first 4 most N-terminal alpha helices (alpha A, B, C, and D helices) and a C-terminal part consisting of two isolated alpha helices and closely interaction with the second IFN ⁇ monomer.
- IFN ⁇ is the typical example of a pleiotropic cytokine with a broad spectrum of activities. Indeed, interferons (IFNs) are endowed with activities such as inhibition of viral replication, inhibition of cell multiplication and induction of apoptosis.
- IFNs interferons
- stimulation of macrophages by IFN ⁇ induces the following responses:
- MHC major histocompatibility complex
- IFN ⁇ increased cytokine production and endogenous IFN production.
- the action of IFN ⁇ on T lymphocytes is to promote their differentiation thus modulating the specific immune response.
- IFN ⁇ is a molecule developed as a human therapeutic agent in the treatment of many diseases, of various natures.
- Commercial IFN ⁇ (Actimmune, and Biogamma) are now used for two main therapeutic indications: chronic granulomatosis and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, in combination with oral prednisolone.
- Many new secondary therapeutic indications are currently being developed at different clinical phases, in particular for their role as immunosuppressors, for example in addition to pegylated IFN ⁇ / ribavirin in the context of the treatment of Hepatitis C.
- IFNs The main adverse effects of IFNs are dose-dependent and therefore closely related to the rate of administration. These effects are cumulative and worsen over time. In addition to the acute toxicity resulting after injection (2-8 hours after subcutaneous injection), nausea and vomiting, the most frequent adverse effects are flu-like symptoms (chills, headache, asthenia), inflammatory reactions at the site of injection and elevation of liver transaminases. The most serious adverse effects are cases of depression, lymphopenia or rare cases of necrosis at the subcutaneous injection site. In patients treated with high doses of IFN, diabetes may occur after the start of treatment. In addition, the tolerance of IFN injection is sometimes limited in time and results in the development of neutralizing antibodies (in approximately 10-20% of patients).
- US 4,832,959 contains polypeptides with partial sequences of human IFN ⁇ including residues 1-127, 5-146 and 5-127 of mature IFN ⁇ and having the 3 additional amino acids CYC.
- US 6,120,762 discloses a peptide fragment comprising residues 118-157 of precursor PIFN ⁇ and its use.
- WO2004005341 describes the methods for generating and producing a series of active mutants of PIFN ⁇ comprising the 143 amino acids of the mature form of IFN ⁇ without CYC with a variation comprising at least one of the mutations in the S 155 and S 165 group and at least a mutation in the group Rl 60, Rl 62 and Rl 63. These mutants would be useful especially in the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
- EP 0 219 781 discloses the use of partial sequences of human IFN ⁇ including amino acids 3-124 of the mature protein. The importance of the last 20 amino acids on the activity and stability of IFN ⁇ has been and still is a source of controversial studies. Human IFN ⁇ s with the truncated C-terminus have been described by Slodowski et al who performed truncations of different size (from 10 to 20 truncated amino acids) (Eur J. Biochem 202: 1133-1140, 1991). .
- WO 2004/022593 in silico analysis of the sequences of numerous therapeutic proteins, including IFN ⁇ , for the existence of proteolysis sites sensitive to proteases present in human serum (such as trypsin, endoproteinase Asp-N, chymotrypsin and proline endopeptidase).
- proteolysis sites sensitive to proteases present in human serum such as trypsin, endoproteinase Asp-N, chymotrypsin and proline endopeptidase.
- the mutations expected to provide protection against the proteases mentioned are: L53V, L53I, K57Q, K57N, K60Q, K60N, E61Q, E61N, E61H, E62Q, E62N, E62H, K78Q, K78N, K81Q, K81N, K84Q, K84N, D85Q, D85N, D86Q.
- IFN ⁇ in monomeric form in particular
- IFN ⁇ in monomeric form in particular
- WO 92/08737 discloses PIFN ⁇ variants comprising an additional N-terminal methionine in position -1, the first 132 amino acids of the mature sequence without CYC, the 133rd amino acid being a leucine instead of a glutamine.
- US 6,046,034 discloses thermostable variants of human IFN ⁇ for which pairs of cysteines have been incorporated at specific locations in the IFN ⁇ structure so as to create inter-monomer and intra-monomer disulfide bridges and thus provide stabilization of the IFN ⁇ homodimer.
- the only pair of cysteines that preserve the biological activity of IFN ⁇ is E30C-S92C, which links helices A and D of the same monomer, while the other pairs of inter-monomeric cysteines destroy the biological activity of IFN ⁇ .
- these mutants also have a truncated C-terminus corresponding to the Delta 10 mutant.
- WO 99/03887 discloses protein variants of the structural super-family of growth hormone (of which IFN ⁇ is a part).
- IFN ⁇ is described as an example of this super-family, but no experimental example of modifications is described in the case of IFN ⁇ .
- WO 01/36001 discloses novel IFN ⁇ molecules modified by insertions of glycosylation sites and / or derivation by PEG type entities. These molecules have improved properties such as improved half-life and / or improved bioavailability.
- WO03002152 discloses a pharmaceutical composition containing a sulfoalkyl ether interferon cyclodextrin derivative, the stability of which would be improved. None of these variants are currently available as a drug. It is for this reason that there is still a strong demand for an improved IFN ⁇ , and in particular an IFN ⁇ having a better stability under physiological conditions. This gain in stability under physiological conditions can be evaluated by a gain of stability at high temperature.

- Variants of human IFN ⁇ selected by our selection method or systematically generated on all PIFN ⁇ positions were transiently expressed in COS7 animal cells. These proteins are secreted in the culture supernatant. In order to evaluate the stability and the conservation of the activity of these variants, the COS7 cell culture supernatants were subjected to thermal denaturation (10 minutes at 59 ° C.). These proteins (denatured or otherwise) were then activated on transfected HeLa cells containing luciferase as the reporter gene.

Mutations identified after sequencing on clones growing on selective medium are listed in Table 1. The different mutants from this primary selection were then uniaxtransformed and their level of resistance was compared to that of the wild-type construct. 21 mutants, giving the strain resistance more or less important but still superior to the wild were thus confirmed (Table 2).

- One of the ways of presenting the data is to postpone the gross activity corresponding to the specific stimulation of the transduction pathway by variant IFN ⁇ , a crude activity then expressed in RLU for "relative luciferase unit”.
- Another way to present the fraction of activity conserved after thermal denaturation (also called residual activity) of each variant is to calculate, for each denaturation time, the residual percentage of activity retained relative to the basal activity of the even varying before denaturation. These calculations are done after subtraction of the signal share due to untransfected cells.
- T 1/2 The half-lives of each variant thus determined are then compared with that of wild-type IFN ⁇ .
- a (t) is the IFN gamma activity at time tps t and b is a constant.
- thermostable variants of IFN ⁇ the biological half-life or terminal elimination half-life (hereinafter referred to as "half-life in vivo"), as well as the areas under the curve for different modes of administration (intravenous (iv) or subcutaneous (sc) injection).
- iv biological half-life or terminal elimination half-life
- sc subcutaneous injection
- the measurement of the elimination half-life can be realized in multiple ways:
- the half-life is then estimated by an anti-viral activity test directly on the murine sera (Hep-2 cells infected with a virus (vesicular stomatitis virus or VVS).
- a virus vesicular stomatitis virus or VVS.
- the ELISA is used as an alternative for detecting IFN ⁇ levels in murine serum.
- Another way described in Croos and Roberts is to carry out experiments with radiolabelled isotope-labeled IFN ⁇ and to monitor the absorption of this labeled molecule in tissues and tissues. its passage into the serum of female Sprague-Dawley rats after subcutaneous injection. The tissue and blood samples are then analyzed for the amount of labeled IFN ⁇ they contain.
- the use of ELISA method for determining the pharmacokinetic parameters of IFN has been described for IFN alpha by subcutaneous administration by Rostaing et al. (1998), J. Am. Soc. Nephrol.9 (12): 2344-48 and by intramuscular administration by Merimsky et al (1991) Cancer Chemother. Pharmacol. 27 (5).]
- Wild-type IFN ⁇ and mutants were expressed from COS and CHO cells. These culture supernatants were centrifuged a second time at 4000 RPM, 10 min, and filtered through Millipore filter PES 0.22 .mu.m. The volumes of the filtered supernatants are then concentrated by centrifugation on Vivaspin filtration units with a cutoff of 5000 daltons (Sartorius). The IFN ⁇ concentrations are then estimated for these samples by applying the appropriate prior dilutions. The wild-type and variant IFN ⁇ lots are administered according to two modes:
- mice 8 week old C57BL / 6J mice with an average weight between 20 and 30 grams are used. These animals are acclimatized one week in a room under a constant temperature of 24.1 0 C, a constant humidity of 55% and with rest / sleep cycles of 12h.
- mice blood samples are collected at the following different times after administration of the molecule of interest. Retro-orbital samples are taken for the 3h, 6h, 24h, 48h, 72h, 96h, 12h, 144h, 168h, 192h and cardiac post-mortem samples for the final time at 216 hours.
- the serum is prepared by allowing the blood to coagulate for 20 minutes at room temperature and recovering the fraction corresponding to the supernatant from a centrifugation at 5000 g, 20 min at 20 ° C.
- the serum is then isolated and stored at -80 ° C until the activity of IFN ⁇ is measured using the ELISA assay described above.
- the plasma concentration of IFN ⁇ is then evaluated over time by monitoring the amount of IFN ⁇ detected by ELISA in each mouse serum. For each sample taken in retro-orbital, the quantification of IFN ⁇ obtained results from the average of at least 3 different sera from 3 mice. These different pharmacokinetic experiments were reproduced for each variant at least twice from IFN ⁇ lots from different transfections. Finally, the concentration of IFN ⁇ in the serum is reported over time.
- Another parameter described in Tables 4 and 5 are the ratio of improvement of the half-life or the area under the curve of each of the mutants with respect to the respective parameters of the unmutated wild-type molecule produced under the same conditions and relative to the respective parameters of bacterial recombinant human IFN ⁇ when data are available. The higher these ratios, the greater the improvement of the variant compared to that of the non-mutated human IFN ⁇ .
- mutations S63C, G41S as well as their combination result in a marked improvement in the in vivo half-life of these variants compared to that of the recombinant human IFN ⁇ produced in CHO and that of recombinant human IFN ⁇ produced in vitro. bacterium. After subcutaneous administration, the double mutant still shows a marked improvement in these pharmacokinetic parameters compared to recombinant human IFN ⁇ produced in CHO.
