Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to the diagnosis and treatment of a syndrome characterized by symptoms of migraine with aura, depression and/or anxiety.
  • Migraine headaches are a type of vascular headaches. Migraine headaches are characterized in part as recurrent attacks of headaches, with or without associated visual and gastrointestinal disturbances. Symptoms of migraine headaches usually follow a pattern in each patient. Attacks may be daily or only once in several months. Untreated attacks may last for hours or even days. Nausea, vomiting, photophobia and sonophobia are common. The extremities can become cold and cyanosed, and the patient can become irritable and seek seclusion. In the United States alone, approximately 18 million females and 5.7 million males have been estimated to suffer from severe migraine annually. Migraines are believed to be a leading cause of lost time ' from the workplace.
  • migraines A classification of migraines based on patient symptoms has been proposed by the Committee on the Classification of Headache of the International Headache Society, Cephalalgia 8:1-96 (1988). The committee proposes that migraines be classified a migraine without aura (formerly known as common migraine) , migraine with aura (formerly known as classic migraine) and hemiplegic migraine (formerly known as complicated migraine) . Migraine with aura and migraine without aura are the two most frequent forms of migraine.

  • a syndrome characterized by symptoms of, or susceptibility to, migraine with aura, depression and/or anxiety
  • DRDl, DRD2 , DRD3 and DAT are associated with increased susceptibility to migraine with aura, depression and/or anxiety.
  • DRDl, DRD2 and DRD3 are three of five G proteincoupled receptors (DRD1-DRD5) for which dopamine appears to be the primary neurotransmitter . O'Dowd et al., "Dopamine Receptors," in Handbook of Receptors and Channels (ed.
  • DRDl is encoded by an intronless gene (Dearry et al . , Nature 347:72-76 (1990); Zhou et al . , Nature 347:76-80 (1990); Sunahara et al . , Nature 347:80-83 (1990)) and is expressed most abundantly in the caudate, nucleus accumbens and olfactory tubercle. DRDl receptors are thought to act as pre-synaptic autoreceptors modulating neurotransmitter release.
  • the DRD2 gene has a length of about 270 kb, including six introns, the first of which accounts for about 200 kb of the gene.
  • DRD2s are localized in numerous anatomical locations that are believed to play a major role in the pathogenesis of migraine. The highest density of DRD2s are in the substantia nigra and basal ganglia. In the substantia nigra, the DRD2s act as presynaptic autoreceptors which modulate dopamine release (Mengod et al . f Neurochem . Int . 20, 33S-43S (1992)).
  • dopamine receptors have been located directly in vascular beds (e.g. , on cerebral arteries) that are believed to be critical in the pathogenesis of migraine.
  • dopamine receptors have been localized to pial vessels (Oudart et al . , Arch . Int . Pharmacodyn . 252, 196-209 (1981); Edvinsson et al . , Br. J . Pharmac . 85, 403-410 (1985)) the site of neurogenic inflammation that is believed to play a major role in the headache component of migraine (Moskowitz, Trends Pharmacol . Sci . 13, 307-311 (1992)).
  • DRD2s are also located in the peripheral and/or central sympathetic nervous system.
  • DRD2s are also located on presynaptic noradrenergic sympathetic ganglia, where they act to inhibit the release from the sympathetic nerve terminals (Clark et al . , Acta Endocrine . , Suppl . 216 88, 75-81 (1978); Ziegler et al . , Clin . Pharmacol . Ther . 25, 137-142
  • the DRD3 gene has a high degree of sequence identity with the DRD2 gene (O'Dowd et al . , Handbook of Receptors and Channels : G Protein-coupled Receptors (ed Peroutka, S.J.) 95-123 (CRC Press, Boca Raton, 1994); Sokoloff et al . , Nature 347:146-151 (1990)).
  • the DRD3 receptor acts as both a postsynaptic receptor and an autoreceptor which inhibits dopamine release (Tang et al . , J . Pharmacol . Exp. Ther . 270:475-476 (1994)).
  • DRD3 has been localized to the limbic areas of the brain (Mengod et al . , Neurochem . Int . 20:33S-43S (1992); Sokoloff et al . , Nature 347:146-151 (1990)) suggesting that it may be associated with cognitive, emotional and endocrine functions. Most drugs that interact with DRD2 also interact with similar affinity with DRD3 (Sokoloff et al . , Nature 347:146-151 (1990)). However, the density of expressed DRD3 receptors is low, estimated at about 1% of that of DRD2 (Accili et al . , Proc . Nat . Acad . Sci . 93:1945-1949 (1996)).
  • the dopamine transporter (DAT) gene is a key regulatory protein in the dopamine pathway that modulates the amount of dopamine release and re-uptake (Shimada et al . , Science 254:576-577 (1991)).
  • Variant alleles of the dopaminergic genes DRDl, DRD2 , DRD3 and DAT probably cause increased susceptibility to migraine with aura, depression and/or anxiety as a result of increased dopaminergic transmission.
  • the proposed role of dopaminergic genes in migraine with aura is consistent with several clinical features of the disease. For example, nausea and/or vomiting are common features of migraine in which dopamine stimulation is likely. Gastrokinetic changes, hypotension and other autonomic nervous system changes are additional migraine symptoms that are consistent with disturbances in dopaminergic neurotransmission.
  • the proposed mechanism is also consistent with previous reports of exaggerated autonomic responses to dopamine agonists in migraine patients. For example, apo orphine has been reported to induce symptoms of migraine, as well as the associated phenomenon of nausea, vomiting, yawning, hypotension and syncope (DelZompo et al., Headache 35, 222-224 (1995)).
  • the methods of diagnosis and treatment described below usually require knowledge of the genotype of an individual with respect to polymorphisms in the genes DRDl, DRD2, DRD3 , and/or DAT.
  • Exemplary polymorphisms within each of these genes that correlate with migraine with aura, depression and/or anxiety are described in the Examples, as are methods for their detection.
  • these polymorphisms include: an A to G polymorphism in the 5' untranslated region of DRDl having alleles designated Bl and B2 as described by Cichon et al . , Hum . Hoi . Genet .
  • DRD2 TaqI Al allele Noble, Science & Hedicine 3, 52-61 (1996)
  • DRD2 Ncol Al can be used in diagnostic methods in a similar manner to DRD2 Ncol Al.
  • DRDl, DRD2 , DRD3 and DAT genes that correlate with migraine with aura, anxiety and/or depression can be identified as follows.
  • the first step is to identify additional polymorphic sites within one of these genes.
  • polymorphic sites can be identified either by comparative sequencing of these genes in a population of individuals or from the published literature and databases.
  • additional polymorphic sites in the DRD2 gene have been published including TaqlB within intron 2, Fokl B at position 1105, HphI at position 3208, C311S at position 3413, Ncol at position 3420 and TaqlA within the 3' untranslated region.
  • a correlation is performed between type of polymorphic form and presence or absence of migraine with aura, depression, and/or anxiety in a population.
  • the correlation can be determined with respect to combinations of two or more polymorphisms within the same gene.
  • individuals having the Ncol Al allele are subdivided into two classes respectively having Al and A2 alleles of the Fokl polymorphism.
  • Variant genes can be detected, for example, by sequencing, allele-specific amplification (Gibbs, Nucleic Acid Res . 17, 12427-12448 (1989)), restriction enzyme analysis, allele-specific probe hybridization assays (Saiki et al., Nature 324, 163-166 (1986)) or singlestranded conformational analysis (Orita et al., Proc. Natl . Acad . Sci . 86, 2766-2770 (1989)).
  • the Ncol Al and A2 alleles can be distinguished by Ncol digestion. Only the A2 allele is cut.
  • Reagents used for detecting variant alleles, such as allele specific probes and primers can be packaged as diagnostic reagents. The diagnostic reagents can bear labels indicating their suitability for use in diagnosis of the mada syndrome or a symptom thereof.
  • DRD2, DRD3 and/or DAT gene in a patient can be used as a measure of susceptibility to migraine with aura, depression and/or anxiety.
  • detection of one or both copies of the Ncol Al allele of DRD2 indicates increased susceptibility to migraine with aura, depression and/or anxiety in the patient, and detection of both copies indicates increased susceptibility relative to one copy.
  • Detection of one or both copies of DRDl Bl indicates increased risk of migraine with aura relative to homozygous DRDl B2.
  • Detection of homozygous DRD3 A2 indicates increased risk of migraine with aura relative to homozygous or heterozygous DRD3 Al.
  • Detection of homozygous DAT 10 indicates increased risk of migraine with aura relative to heterozygous DAT 10/9 and probably 9/9 genotype, although the latter occurs with insufficient frequency to have been included in the present analysis.
  • each variant allele associated with the mada syndrome can be assigned a risk factor related to the probability, as discussed in the Examples.
  • Fig. 2 shows the percentage of individuals having migraine with aura as a function of number of risk factors present. It can be seen that no individuals without any dopaminergic risk factor have symptoms of the mada syndrome and about 75% of individuals with all five dopaminergic risk factors have symptoms of the mada syndrome. Individuals with 1-4 risk factors show intermediate frequencies of symptoms of the mada syndrome in relation to the number of risk factors present.
  • There are probably other genes besides the dopaminergic genes described above having variant forms associated with risk of the mada syndrome The existence of variant forms of such genes can be detected and correlated with probabilities of susceptibility to the syndrome in similar fashion to the analysis of dopaminergic genes. Combined statistical analysis of dopaminergic genes with other genes still further increases the predictive value of the diagnosis.
  • the analysis is useful in identifying a subset of patients having a common genetic basis giving rise to the mada syndrome. Such patients are amenable to treatment with antagonists of dopaminergic genes as discussed below. Treatment with such antagonists may be ineffective in other patients, who exhibit similar symptoms to patients with the syndrome, but due to a different genetic basis. This analysis is also useful in distinguishing migraine with aura from migraine without aura, and others diseases, such as stroke, which may present with similar symptoms. That is, a patient with a high number of risk factors for the mada syndrome is more at risk for migraine with aura than for migraine without aura or stroke. IV. Methods of Treatment
  • the invention further provides methods of treating patients suffering from, or susceptible to, the mada syndrome.
  • a patient having or susceptible to symptoms of migraine with aura, depression and or anxiety is treated with a therapeutically effective dose of an antagonist to one or more of the dopaminergic genes DRDl, DRD2 , DRD3 and DAT.
  • Such a dose is sufficient to prevent, arrest or detectably relieve symptoms of migraine with aura, depression and/or anxiety.
  • the dose can be administered prophylactically or therapeutically.
  • the dose can also be administered to pediatric or handicapped patients but who are unable to articulate their symptoms but are known to have variant forms of one or more variant forms of the dopaminergic genes associated with the disease.
  • DRD2 antagonists include phenothiazines (chlorpromazine, fluphenazine, prochlorperazine, promethazine, thioridazine and trifluoperazine) , butyrophenomes (droperidol, haloperidol, pimozide, spiperone) , thioxanthines (chlorprothixene, thiothixene) and other drugs, such as clozapine.
  • phenothiazines chlorpromazine, fluphenazine, prochlorperazine, promethazine, thioridazine and trifluoperazine
  • butyrophenomes droperidol, haloperidol, pimozide, spiperone
  • thioxanthines chlorprothixene, thiothixene
  • other drugs such as clozapine.
  • Some antagonists are capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier and therefore capable of antagonizing both central and peripheral dopaminergic receptors.
  • Other antagonists such as domperidone do not cross the blood-brain barrier and therefore antagonize only peripheral receptors.
  • Some agents such as domperidone, metoclopramide, chlorpromazine, prochloperazine and flunarazine have previously been reported to have some value in treating some migraine patients. However, the mechanism of action was not known, not was it appreciated that the agents are most appropriate for administration to the subset of migraine patients having migraine with aura and variant forms of one or more of the dopaminergic genes DRDl, DRD2 , DRD3 , DRD4 and DAT.
  • Antagonists can be used to manufacture medicaments for use in treatment of the syndrome.
  • Antagonists can be mixed with a pharmaceutical carrier, which can be any compatible, non-toxic substance suitable to deliver the antagonist to the patient.
  • a pharmaceutical carrier can be any compatible, non-toxic substance suitable to deliver the antagonist to the patient.
  • Sterile water, alcohol, fats, waxes, and inert solids can be used as the carrier.
  • Pharmaceutically-acceptable adjuvants, buffering agents, dispersing agents, and the like can also be incorporated into the pharmaceutical compositions.
  • concentration of the active agent in the pharmaceutical composition can vary widely, i.e., from less than about 0.1% by weight, usually being at least about 1% by weight to as much as 20% by weight or more.
  • Medicaments can be administered intravenously, intramuscularly, subcutaneously, intranasally, cutaneously, via suppository, by inhalation or orally.
  • Methods for preparing parenterally administrable compositions are described in more detail in, for example, Remington ' s Pharmaceutical Science (15th ed. , Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pennsylvania, 1980) (incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes) .
  • the active ingredient can be administered in solid dosage forms, such as capsules, tablets, and powders, or in liquid dosage forms, such as elixirs, syrups, and suspensions.
  • Active component (s) can be encapsulated in gelatin capsules together with inactive ingredients and powdered carriers, such as glucose, lactose, sucrose, mannitol, starch, cellulose or cellulose derivatives, magnesium stearate, stearic acid, sodium saccharin, talcum, magnesium carbonate and the like.
  • inactive ingredients examples include red iron oxide, silica gel, sodium lauryl sulfate, titanium dioxide, edible white ink and the like.
  • Similar diluents can be used to make compressed tablets . Both tablets and capsules can be manufactured as sustained release products to provide for continuous release of medication over a period of hours. Compressed tablets can be sugar coated or film coated to mask any unpleasant taste and protect the tablet from the atmosphere, or enteric-coated for selective disintegration in the gastrointestinal tract.
  • Liquid dosage forms for oral administration can contain coloring and flavoring to increase patient acceptance.
  • the invention further provides methods of screening for novel antagonists of DRDl, DRD2 , DRD3 and/or DAT for treatment of the syndrome.
  • Potential agents are screened for specific binding (Kd ⁇ ⁇ M) to human DRDl, DRD2 , DRD3 or DAT, optionally in competition with dopamine.
  • Preferred agents bind with a Kd less than 10 nM and can therefore usually be used at a dose of about 10 mg/patient.
  • Receptor binding assays can be performed as described by Ison & Peroutka, Cancer Treatment Reports 70, 637 (1986); Peroutka & Snyder, Am . J .
  • Some agents are screened for lack of specific binding to at least one of dopaminergic receptors DRD4 or DRD5.
