Definitions
- Ion channels are integral membrane proteins, typically comprising multiple subunits, which form selective and highly regulated pores in cellular membranes. Each of these pores controls the influx and efflux of a given ion (e.g., sodium, potassium, calcium, or chloride) across the plasma membrane or the membranes of intracellular compartments.
- a given ion e.g., sodium, potassium, calcium, or chloride
- Many important physiological processes depend on the control of ion gradients by ion channels. Such processes include synaptic transmission, secretion, fertilization, muscle contraction, and regulation of intracellular and extracellular ion concentrations and pH.
- Ion channels open in response to various stimuli. For example, there are ligand-gated channels, second messenger-gated channels, voltage- gated channels, and shear- or stress-gated channels.
- Fig. 12 shows the BLASTP - alignment of 405 (SEQ ID NO:2) against swiss
- Human calcium channel is 26% identical over 315 amino acids to swiss
- Variations in percent identity can be due, for example, to amino acid substitutions, insertions, or deletions.
- Amino acid substitutions are defined as one for one amino acid replacements. They are conservative in nature when the substituted amino acid has similar structural and/or chemical properties. Examples of conservative replacements are substitution of a leucine with an isoleucine or valine, an aspartate with a glutamate, or a threonine with a serine.
- cDNA Complementary DNA
- species homologs, and variants of calcium channel polynucleotides that encode biologically active calcium channel polypeptides also are calcium channel polynucleotides.
- Polynucleotide fragments comprising at least 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 20, or 25 contiguous nucleotides of SEQ ID NO:l or its complement also are calcium channel polynucleotides. These fragments can be used, for example, as hybridization probes or as antisense oligonucleotides.
- Nucleotide sequences which hybridize to calcium channel-like polynucleotides or their complements following stringent hybridization and/or wash conditions also are calcium channel polynucleotides.
- Stringent wash conditions are well known and understood in the art and are disclosed, for example, in Sambrook et al, MOLECULAR
- pIN vectors Van Heeke & Schuster, J. Biol. Chem. 264, 5503-5509, 1989
- pGEX vectors Promega, Madison, Wis.
- GST glutathione S-transferase
- fusion proteins are soluble and can easily be purified from lysed cells by adsorption to glutathione-agarose beads followed by elution in the presence of free glutathione.
- Proteins made in such systems can be designed to include heparin, thrombin, or factor Xa protease cleavage sites so that the cloned polypeptide of interest can be released from the GST moiety at will.
- RNA probes are known in the art, are commercially available, and can be used to synthesize RNA probes in vitro by addition of labeled nucleotides and an appropriate RNA polymerase such as T7, T3, or SP6. These procedures can be conducted using a variety of commercially available kits (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech, Promega, and US Biochemical).
- Sequences encoding a calcium channel-like polypeptide can be synthesized, in whole or in part, using chemical methods well known in the art (see Caruthers et al, Nucl. Acids Res. Symp. Ser. 215-223, 1980; Horn et al. Nucl. Acids Res. Symp. Ser. 225-232, 1980).
- a calcium channel-like polypeptide itself can be produced using chemical methods to synthesize its amino acid sequence, such as by direct peptide synthesis using solid-phase techniques (Merrifield, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 85, 2149-2154, 1963; Roberge et al, Science 269, 202-204, 1995). Protein synthesis can be performed using manual techniques or by automation.
- a Hposome with a reagent such as an antisense oligonucleotide or ribozyme can be achieved using methods which are standard in the art (see, for example, U.S. Patent 5,705,151).
- a reagent such as an antisense oligonucleotide or ribozyme
- from about 0.1 ⁇ g to about 10 ⁇ g of polynucleotide is combined with about 8 nmol of liposomes, more preferably from about 0.5 ⁇ g to about 5 ⁇ g of polynucleotides are combined with about 8 nmol liposomes, and even more preferably about 1.0 ⁇ g of polynucleotides is combined with about 8 nmol liposomes.
- Sequence differences between a reference gene and a gene having mutations can be revealed by the direct DNA sequencing method.
- cloned DNA segments can be employed as probes to detect specific DNA segments.
- the sensitivity of this method is greatly enhanced when combined with PCR.
- a sequencing primer can be used with a double-stranded PCR product or a single-stranded template molecule generated by a modified PCR.
- the sequence determination is performed by conventional procedures using radiolabeled nucleotides or by automatic sequencing procedures using fluorescent tags.
- the antisense oligonucleotides are administered to a patient with hypertension.
- the severity of the patient' s hypertension is decreased.
- test oligonucleotide for seven days results in significantly reduced expression of human calcium channel as determined by Western blotting. This effect is not observed with the control oligonucleotide.
- the number of cells in the cultures is counted using an automatic cell counter. The number of cells in cultures treated with the test oligonucleotide (expressed as 100%) is compared with the number of cells in cultures treated with the control oligonucleotide. The number of cells in cultures treated with the test oligonucleotide is not more than 30% of control, indicating that the inhibition of human calcium channel has an anti-proliferative effect on cancer cells.
- Substance application is performed at different time points via different application routes (i.v., i.p., p.o., i.t., i.c.v., s.c, intradermal, transdermal) prior to pain testing.
- application routes i.v., i.p., p.o., i.t., i.c.v., s.c, intradermal, transdermal
- Inflammatory pain is induced mainly in rats by injection of 0.75 mg carrageenan or complete Freund's adjuvant into one hind paw.
- the animals develop an edema with mechanical allodynia as well as thermal hyperalgesia.
- Mechanical allodynia is measured by means of a pressure transducer (electronic von Frey Anesthesiometer,
- Compounds are tested against uninflamed as well as vehicle treated control groups. Substance application is performed at different time points via different application routes (i.v., i.p., p.o., i.t., i.c.v., s.c, intradermal, transdermal) prior to pain testing.
- application routes i.v., i.p., p.o., i.t., i.c.v., s.c, intradermal, transdermal
- Forelimb akinesia is assessed three weeks following lesion placement using a modified stepping test protocol.
- the animals are held by the experimenter with one hand fixing the hindlimbs and slightly raising the hind part above the surface.
- One paw is touching the table, and is then moved slowly sideways (5 s for 1 m), first in the forehand and then in the backhand direction.
- the number of adjusting steps is counted for both paws in the backhand and forehand direction of movement.
- the sequence of testing is right paw forehand and backhand adjusting stepping, followed by left paw forehand and backhand directions.
- the test is repeated three times on three consecutive days, after an initial training period of three days prior to the first testing.
- Forehand adjusted stepping reveals no consistent differences between lesioned and healthy control animals. Analysis is therefore restricted to backhand adjusted stepping.
- Balance Test
- a modified version of the staircase test is used for evaluation of paw reaching behavior three weeks following primary and secondary lesion placement.
- Plexiglass test boxes with a central platform and a removable staircase on each side are used.
- mice are perfused transcardially with 0.01 M PBS (pH 7.4) for 2 min, followed by 4% paraformaldehyde (Merck) in PBS for 15 min.
- the brains are removed and placed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 24 h at 4 °C. For dehydration they are then transferred to a 20% sucrose (Merck) solution in 0.1 M PBS at 4 °C until they sink.
- the brains are frozen in methylbutan at -20 °C for
- mice with specific brain lesions which impair cognitive functions, or animals treated with compounds such as scopolamine or MK-801, which interfere with normal learning, or aged animals which suffer from cognitive deficits are used.
- the T-maze spontaneous alternation task is used.
