Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and means to treat, but not exclusively, pulmonary hypertension by functionally suppressing the product of the ET-1 gene which encodes a vasoconstrictor peptide the expression of which is correlated mainly with this disorder.
- Pulmonary Hypertension is a disorder in which the blood pressure in the pulmonary (lung) arteries is abnormally high in the absence of other diseases of the heart or lungs. PH is considered to be present when the mean pulmonary arterial pressure is greater than 25mmHg at rest or 30mmHg during activity. The normal mean pulmonary - artery pressure is approximately 14mmHg at rest. PH is classified according to whether the disorder is primary or secondary PH.
- PPH Primary PH
- SPH Secondary Pulmonary Hypertension
- the successful clinical treatments include the continuous intravenous administration of prostacyclin (PGI 2 ) and inhaled nitric oxide (NO), for severe disease; for milder degrees of illness, anticoagulants and calcium channel blockers can be used to lessen symptoms and improve survival.
- PKI 2 prostacyclin
- NO inhaled nitric oxide
- ET-1 endothelin-1
- BQ-123 has been shown to antagonise the activity of ET-1 receptors and relieve pulmonary hypertension resulting from congestive heart failure.
- m NA to ET-1 was shown to decrease as a consequence of long term BQ-123 treatment.
- a recent strategy to interfere with the expression of a gene is that of antisense technology.
- this strategy involves the use of a DNA or RNA molecule that is complementary to a region of a selected gene and is able to hybridise (bind) under physiological conditions to the targeted nucleic acid to prevent either transcription of the gene or translation of the mRNA encoded by the gene.
- the antisense molecule is often a short oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN).
- the molecule may be an oligodeoxyribonucleotide, or a modified oligodeoxynucleotide, or a modified oligodeoxyribonucleotide; each of which are able to hybridised to a selected part of a gene, or mRNA, under physiological conditions.
- the modifications to oligodeoxynucleotides will be apparent to one skilled in the art.
- the exact region of the nucleotide sequence of the gene to which the antisense molecule is designed can be empirically determined. However it is common practice to design oligodeoxynucleotides to the 5' region of the gene (to interfere with transcription initiation) or the mRNA (to interfere with translation).
- the region of the gene to which the antisense molecule is directed is determined by the efficiency with which the antisense molecule suppresses the gene of interest. Contrary to the above this may be the 3' region and is determined experimentally.
- the length of the ODN also has to be determined experimentally. Typically ODNs are 20- 30 nucleotides in length but may be much longer.
- nitric oxide a known vasodilator
- the very short pulse of nitric oxide is provided at the start of the inhalation, such that the resultant bolus of nitric oxide mixture inhaled by the patient has a nitric oxide concentration high enough to have the desired therapeutic effect, even if admixed with some additional air, but is of such short duration (both in time and as a result, in physical amount) that, pushed by the following much larger volume of plain, and therefore nitric oxide - free, air/oxygen, it reaches deeper into the lungs, where it both acts on the small pulmonary arteries and is taken up into the capillaries,
- the invention therein described is a small (pocket-sized) hand held treatment apparatus that utilises the "spike” principle.
- the invention comprises a conventional nebuliser (having a reservoir in which is stored the medicament to be administered) driven by some suitable pressurised gas from a valved cylinder so as to deliver a medicament into a tube through which the patient is breathing (by mouth) normal air, the gas cylinder valve being controlled by a suitably programmed computing device that is fed data describing the pressure within the breathing tube and so is able to open and close the valve at, and for, a time such as to drive the nebuliser to deliver (to the tube and thence to the patient's lungs) a required pulse of medicament at any selected point within the patient's respiratory cycle.
- the idea of this is simply to ensure that a high concentration of the medicament reaches and affects the target area, and the target area alone, rather than having the whole of the lungs subjected to it.

- At least one rat ET-1 antisense oligonucleotides as represented in Table 2.
- a method for determining the efficacy of antisense ET-1 molecules comprising exposing a known hypersensitive animal model system to antisense ET-1 for studying molecules and observing the effects of same on pulmonary hypertension.
- said therapeutic treatment is based on antisense therapy.
- said antisense therapy is based on the ET-1 sequence and more preferably still those sequences represented in Table 1 and/or Table 2, and/or sequences homologous or analogous thereto, wherein said homology is at least 50%, ideally 75% and preferably at least
- an antisense molecule adapted to hybridise to the transcriptional promoter region of the ET-1 gene to inhibit transcription of said gene.
- an antisense molecule adapted to hybridise to splice junctions between exons and introns of prepromessenger RNA encoding the ET-1 protein.
- ET-1 gene can be inhibited by interfering with the splicing of introns from the pre mRNA of ET-1 to prevent the formation of a mature, translatable mRNA.
- an inhaler comprising means for administering the aforedescribed antisense molecules encoding ET-1 nucleic acid wherein said administration is via a spike or pulse and preferably only during inhalation by the patient.
- said inhaler is disposable and adapted to receive a cartridge containing antisense molecules encoding the ET-1 nucleic acid composition.
- the invention hereindescribed therefore provides a means of controlling pulmonary hypertension using aerosolised antisense molecules to the ET-1 gene, and/or mRNA, to inhibit the vasoconstrictor activity of ..the ET-1 peptide.
- the delivery of the antisense molecule makes use of an inhaler that functions during patient inhalation to drive the therapeutic composition deep into the lungs to deliver the antisense molecule to the endothelial cells that line the arterioles of the lungs and thereby target those blood vessels that result in pulmonary hypertension.
- Figure 1 represents the genomic DNA sequence of human ET-1.

- Regions of loose secondary structure were defined as sequences of >8 adjacent bases in the mRNA sequence for which there were no predicted intra-molecule Watson-Crick base pairing determined using the Wisconsin Genetics Computer Group software package RNAFOLD.
- the mRNA sequence was then imported into the 'primer' package on the Sheffield 'biocomp service' and complemented (G for C, T for A etc.).
- the regions of loose predicted secondary structure were sought and the oligo criteria were selected.
- the 3' most bases were aligned with the region of no predicted secondary structure. If the sequence highlighted met all set criteria the sequence and position was recorded. If the sequence failed to reach the criteria the highlighted 20 base sequence was shifted 5' until either a sequence was identified meeting the criteria or the ⁇ 5 bases remained within the region of loose predicted secondary structure at which point the region was rejected.
- the sequence with the most central homology to that of the loose predicted secondary structure was selected.
- ET-1 antisense material Current data relating to the efficacy of ET-1 antisense material is in vitro cell culture work. Selected antisense molecules are transfected into cells in culture and the level of ET-1 protein determined by western blotting and/or immunofluoresence using ET-1 antisera. A down regulation of ET-1 protein results when selected antisense molecules are used. Currently we are unable to identify the mechanism by which ET-1 protein is down regulated (ie destabilisation of mRNA, inhibition of translation). Further work will optimise conditions with respect to providing a suitable composition for use in in vivo studies.
