Definitions

  • This invention is directed to compositions and methods for treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
  • Eukaryotic cells contain multiple proteolytic systems, including lysosomal proteases, calpains, ATP-ubiquitin-proteasome dependent pathway, and an ATP- independent nonlysosomal process.
  • the major neutral proteolytic activity in the cytosol and nucleus is the proteasome, a 20S (700 kDa) particle with multiple peptidase activities.
  • the 20S complex is the proteolytic core of a 26S (1500 kDa) complex that degrades or processes ubiquitin-conjugated proteins. Ubiquitination marks a protein for hydrolysis by the 26S proteasome complex. Many abnormal or short-lived normal polypeptides are degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome-dependent pathway.
  • Abnormal peptides include oxidant-damaged proteins (e.g., those having oxidized disulfide bonds), products of premature translational termination (e.g., those having exposed hydrophobic groups which are recognized by the proteasome, and stress-induced denatured or damaged proteins (where stress is induced by, e.g., changes in pH or temperature, or exposure to metals).
  • the proteasome also participates in the rapid elimination and post-translational processing of proteins involved in cellular regulation (e.g., cell cycle, gene transcription, and metabolic pathways), intercellular communication, and the immune response (e.g., antigen presentation).
  • the transcription factor NF- ⁇ B is a member of the Rel protein family.
  • the Rel family of transcriptional activator proteins can be divided into two groups. The first group requires proteolytic processing, and includes pi 05 and pi 00, which are processed to p50 and p52, respectively. The second group does not require proteolytic processing and includes p65 (Rel A), Rel (c-Rel), and Rel B.
  • NF- ⁇ B comprises two subunits, p50 and an additional member of the Rel gene family, e.g., p 65. Unprocessed pl05 can also associate with p65 and other members of the Rel family.
  • the p50-p65 heterodimer is present in an inactive form in the cytoplasm, bound to I ⁇ B- ⁇ .
  • the ternary complex can be activated by the dissociation and destruction of I ⁇ B- ⁇ , while the p65/pl05 heterodimer can be activated by processing of pi 05.
  • the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway plays an essential role in the regulation of
  • NF- ⁇ B activity being responsible both for processing of pl05 to p50 and for the degradation of the inhibitor protein I ⁇ B- .
  • I ⁇ B- ⁇ In order to be targeted for degradation by the proteasome, I ⁇ B- ⁇ must first undergo selective phosphorylation at serine residues 32 and 36, followed by ubiquitination (Chen et al. Genes & Development (1995) 9:1586; Chen et al. Cell (1996) S4.853; Brockman et al. Mol. Cell. Biol. (1995) 75:2809; Brown et al. Science (1995) 267:1485).
  • NF- ⁇ B translocates to the nucleus, where it plays a central role in the regulation of a remarkably diverse set of genes involved in the immune and inflammatory responses (Grilli et al, International Review of Cytology (1993) 143: -62).
  • NF- ⁇ B is required for the expression of a number of genes involved in the inflammatory response, such as TNF- ⁇ gene and genes encoding the cell adhesion molecules E-selectin, P-selectin, ICAM, and VCAM (Collins, T., Lab. Invest. (1993) 65:499.
  • NF- ⁇ B is also required for the expression of a large number of cytokine genes such as IL-2, IL-6, granulocyte colony stimulating factor, and IFN- ⁇ .
  • Inducible nitric oxide synthetase is also under regulatory control of NF- ⁇ B.
  • Proteasome inhibitors block I ⁇ B- ⁇ degradation and activation of NF- ⁇ B (Palombella et al. WO 95/25533 published 9/28/95; Traenckner, et al , EMBO J. (1994) 13:5433).
  • Proteasome inhibitors also block
  • TNF- ⁇ induced expression of the leukocyte adhesion molecules E-selectin, VCAM-1, and ICAM-1 (Read, et al, Immunity (1995) 2:493).
  • Cyclins are proteins involved in cell cycle control.
  • the proteasome participates in the degradation of cyclins. Cyclin degradation enables a cell to exit one cell cycle stage (e.g., mitosis) and enter another (e.g., division). There is evidence that cyclin is converted to a form vulnerable to a ubiquitin ligase or that a cyclin-specific ligase is activated during mitosis (Ciechanover Cell (1994) 79:13). Inhibition of the proteasome inhibits cyclin degradation, and therefore inhibits cell proliferation (Kumatori et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.

The degree and extent of inflammation in the airway wall are broadly related to the clinical severity of the asthma.
