Definitions
- the subject matter described herein relates to a modification of bone morphogenetic proteins. More specifically, subject relates to a modified bone morphogenetic protein modified with one or more hydrophilic polymer chains.
- TGF-beta transforming growth factor-beta
- BMP-7 Isolated bone morphogenetic protein 7
- BMP-7 has been shown to induce cartilage and/or bone formation when administered to humans. It is also believed to assist in wound healing and tissue repair. More recently, BMP-7 has been proposed for use in treating diseased or damaged kidneys. Exogenously supplied BMP-7 protein tends to increase the rate of renal filtration, and in diseased kidney it tends to decrease in the rate of deterioration of the kidney function (Morrissey, J. et al., J. Am Soc Nephrol., 13:S14-S21 (2002); Simon, M. Am. J. Physiol Renal Physiol., F382-F389 (1999); Zeisburg, M. et al., J.
- BMP-7 as a therapeutic protein suffers from a number of problems.
- the propensity of the protein to form bone at the site of injection is problematic for therapies when bone formation is not desired, as in wound healing, tissue repair, and treatment of kidney dysfunction.
- Another difficulty is its low solubility at neutral pH.
- BMP-7 is soluble at pH ⁇ 6.0, injections of acidic solutions are more painful and irritating to the patient than are solutions that are essentially at physiological pH.
- BMP-7 also suffers from the problem common to many proteins when administered via injection of a relatively fast in vivo clearance rate (Ty 2 « 1.5 h in rats).
- a modified BMP protein and in particular, a modified BMP-7 protein, that addresses these difficulties in using BMP proteins as therapeutic agents is desired.
- composition comprised of an isolated bone morphogenetic protein covalently attached to a hydrophilic polymer.
- the bone morphogenetic protein is bone morphogenetic protein-7.
- the bone morphogenetic protein-7 is human recombinant bone morphogenetic protein-7.
- An exemplary amino acid sequence of human bone morphogenetic protein-7 is given herein as SEQ ID NO:1.

- BMP-7 refers to bone morphogenetic protein-7. Amino acid sequences of BMP-7 for a variety of species are known, including but not limited to, Homo sapiens (GenBank Accession No. AAG43508; NP_001710), Gallus gallus
- BMP-7 refers to an amino acid sequence of a BMP-7 from any species, and to fragments and variations of these proteins that retain the desired therapeutic activity of the mature protein.
- Those of skill in the art recognize that certain portions of a protein are required for therapeutic activity, permitting omission of selected amino acid residues and/or substitution of selected amino acid residues.
- individual amino acid residues in the protein may be modified by oxidation, reduction, or other derivatization, and the protein may be cleaved to obtain fragments which retain activity. Such alterations which do not destroy biological activity do not remove the protein sequence from the definition.
- BMP-7 intends any protein sequence that has at least about 70%, more preferably 75%, still more preferably 80%, still more preferably 85%, still more preferably 90%, and still more preferably 95% sequence identity to at least one of the GenBank sequences noted above or to other sequences noted below.
- Sequence "identity" is determined by comparing the amino acid sequences of polypeptides when aligned so as to maximize overlap and identity while minimizing sequence gaps. The percent identity of two amino acid or two nucleic acid sequences can be determined by visual inspection and/or mathematical calculation, or more preferably, the comparison is done by comparing sequence information using a computer program.
- An exemplary, preferred computer program is the Genetics Computer Group (GCG; Madison, Wis.) Wisconsin package version 10.0 program, ' GAP ' (Devereux et al., Nucl. Acids Res., 12: 387 (1984)).
- GCG Genetics Computer Group
- ' GAP ' Disevereux et al., Nucl. Acids Res., 12: 387 (1984)
- Other programs used by those skilled in the art of sequence comparison can also be used, such as, for example, the BLAST (BLASTP) and BLASTN programs, available for use via the National Library of Medicine website http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/BLAST.
- sequences are considered homologous or identical to one another if their amino acid sequences are at least about 60% identical, more preferably at least 70% identical, still more preferably at least 80% identical, when determined from a visual inspection or from one of the aforementioned computer programs.
- Hydrophilic polymer refers to a polymer having moieties soluble in water, which lend to the polymer some degree of water solubility at room temperature.
- exemplary hydrophilic polymers include polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinylmethylether, polymethyloxazoline, polyethyloxazoline, polyhydroxypropylyoxazoline, polyhydroxypropyl-methacrylamide, polymethacrylamide, polydimethyl-acrylamide, polyhydroxypropylmethacrylate, polyhydroxyethylacrylate, hydroxymethylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, polyethyleneglycol, polyaspartamide, copolymers of the above-recited polymers, and polyethyleneoxide-polypropylene oxide copolymers. Properties and reactions with many of these polymers are described in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,395,619 and 5,631 ,018.
- PEGylation refers to the attachment of one or more polyethylene glycol (PEG) substituents or derivatives to a bone morphogenetic protein, such as BMP-7.
- PEG polyethylene glycol
- the term refers to covalent attachment of one or more PEG substituents or derivatives by a bond that is not reversible or labile under physiological conditions.
- a “covalently” attached polymer refers to a linkage that is not generally considered to be reversible or labile under physiological conditions.
- BMP-7 is human BMP-7, which can be recombinantly produced in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells.
- human BMP-7 induces bone formation in vivo and increases cell proliferation and collagen synthesis of osteoblasts in vitro (Sampath T.K. etal., J. Biol. Chem., 267(28):20352 (1992)).
- Recombinant human BMP-7 consists of a 34-38 kDa disulfide linked homodimers identified herein as SEQ ID NO:1.
- the homodimers migrate as 23, 19, or 27 kDa monomers containing amino acid residues 293-431 of SEQ ID NO:1 , where the amino terminal Met residue of the pre-pro BMP-7 is defined as residue 1 (Ozkaynak, E., EMBO J., 9:2085 (1990)).
- Residues 29-292 (SEQ ID NO:2) are termed the pro-domain (Jones, W.K. etal., Growth Factors, 1_1.:215 (1994)).
- the purified BMP-7 homodimers are sparingly soluble in physiological buffers, such as phosphate buffered saline or cell culture media, and require denaturants to remain in solution.
- physiological buffers such as phosphate buffered saline or cell culture media.
- the mature domain of recombinant BMP-7 corresponds to residues 293-431 of SEQ ID NO:1 and is referred to herein as "mature" BMP-7 and is identified herein as SEQ ID NO:3.
- human BMP-7 having a sequence identified herein as SEQ ID NO:3 is used in the composition.
- the composition includes a human BMP-7 having at least about 70% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:3, where sequence identity is determined as described above.
- the composition includes a human BMP-7 having at least 80%, preferably 85%, more preferably 90%, still more preferably 95% sequence identity to the protein sequence identified as SEQ ID NO:3.
- BMP-7 is chemically modified with one or more hydrophilic polymer chains.
- Chemical attachment, or conjugation, of hydrophilic polymers to proteins is exemplified in the art with the hydrophilic polymer poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), however it will be appreciated that other hydrophilic polymers, such as those listed above, are equally suitable.
- Conjugation of a PEG chain to a protein, such as BMP- 7, is typically one using an "activated derivative" of PEG, i.e, a PEG having a functional group at one or more terminal ends for reaction with, for example an amino group on the protein.
- Example 1 human mature BMP-7 (SEQ ID NO:3) was mixed with nitrophenyl carbonate derivatized methoxy-PEG (mPEG-NPC) in the presence of an activating agent, exemplified by N-hydroxysuccinimide (HOSu).
- an activating agent exemplified by N-hydroxysuccinimide (HOSu).
- Fig. 1 which shows an amine-directed PEGylation of BMP-7
- reaction of BMP-7 with the acylating agent mPEG-NPC at a neutral pH in the range of 6-7.5 is proceeds slowly.
- PEGylation of proteins with PEG-NPC proceeds more quickly at a pH greater than 7.5, as PEG-NPC is more reactive under basic conditions.
- BMP-7 is sparingly soluble in water at neutral and basic pH, making it difficult to chemically modify the protein with efficiency using mPEG-NPC.
- a conjugate of BMP-7 chemically modified with PEG is prepared by reacting BMP-7 with an acylating agent, like mPEG-NPC, in the presence of an activating agent, as also illustrated in Fig. 1. Addition of the activating agent to the reaction mixture increases the reaction efficiency and allows facile protein modification at neutral pH values (e.g. between 6-7.5) and at pH values below 7.0.
- the activating agent in Fig. 1 and in Example 1 is exemplified by HOSu.
- any water-soluble, non-carboxylic, Br ⁇ nstead acid of moderate acidity having the propensity to donate N- or O- linked protons to the PEGylation reagent is suitable for use as the activating agent.
- General examples include acidic alcohols, phenols, imidazole, triazols and tetrazols, among others.
- acidic acids suitable for use include, but are not limited to, N- hydroxydicarboxyimides, N-hydroxyphthalimides particularly with nitro and other electron withdrawing substituents on the aromatic ring, N-hydroxy tetrahydrophthalimide, N-hydroxyglutarimide, N-hydroxy-5-norbornene-2,3- dicarboxyimide, and N-hydroxy ⁇ -oxabicyclo ⁇ ijhept- ⁇ -ene ⁇ .S-dicarboxyimide.
- 1-N-hydroxybenzotriazol and derivatives with electron withdrawing groups on the aromatic ring e.g. nitro, chloro, 3-hydroxy-1 ,2,3-benzotriazin-4(3H)-one.
- N- hydroxysulfosuccinimide sodium salt is very soluble in water, which means that it can be used at even higher concentration in aqueous buffers than HOSu.
- exemplary hydroxy amines include, in addition to HOSu, sulfonate derivatives of HOSu, 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt), and hydroxyl-7-azabenzotriazole (HOAt).
- the activating agent may be added to a buffer, or may comprise the buffer with or without other salts.
- HOSu is very soluble in an aqueous solution, it can be added to buffers at relatively high concentration to further boost the PEGylation reaction.
- phenols such as dinitrophenol, trinitrophenol, trifluorophenol, pentafluorophenol, and pentachlorophenol
- a PEG-modified BMP-7 was prepared by reacting the mature protein with a functionalized PEG, mPEG-NPC, (mPEG molecular weight of 30 kD), in the presence of HOSu as the activating agent.
- the resulting PEG-BMP- 7 conjugate referred to herein as mPEG30kDa-BMP-7, was characterized by HPLC size exclusion chromatography prior to purification. As seen in Fig. 2A, about 58% of the BMP-7 was PEGylated, with formation of mono- and di-PEGylated-BMP-7 being favored. Mature BMP-7, which elutes at about 35 minutes (Fig. 2B), was 42% of the total peak area.
- the PEG30k-BMP-7 composition was comprised of 1 :1 PEG-BMP-7 conjugates (38%), 2:1 PEG-BMP-7 conjugates (16%), and 3:1 PEG-BMP-7 conjugates (4%).

- the gels confirm the results from the HPLC-SEC, showing that formation of the 1 :1 PEG- protein conjugate was favored.
- BMP-7 was prepared using a carbohydrate-directed coupling reaction, as described in Example 2 and illustrated in Fig. 5.
- BMP-7 was oxidized with sodium periodate and then reacted with mPEG-hydrazide (mPEG-Hz), the PEG having a molecular weight of 20 kDa.
- mPEG-Hz mPEG-hydrazide
- the resulting composition prior to purification was characterized using HPLC-SEC, as shown in Figs. 6A-6C.
- the trace for mature BMP-7 is shown in Fig. 6C, the protein elutes at about 36 minutes.

- Mature BMP-7 is water soluble at acidic pH (pH ⁇ 5.0), however upon neutralization the protein precipitates.
- PEG-BMP-7 remains soluble in water above pH 7 and does not precipitate upon neutralization with common buffer salts.
- the modified BMP-7, PEG30kDa-BMP-7 was tested in vitro to determine if the conjugate retains biological activity. As described in Example 3, the ability of the conjugate to induce alkaline phosphatase specific activity in rat osteoblastic (ROS) cells was evaluated. ROS cells were incubated with various concentrations of mature BMP-7 and PEG30kDa-BMP-7 for 40-56 hours. Induction of alkaline phosphatase was assessed by lysing the cells and analyzing for the presence of alkaline phosphatase via absorbance. The results are shown in Fig. 8. Fig. 8 shows the absorbance (O. D.
- Biological activity of the PEG-modified BMP-7 conjugate was also tested in vitro using a human kidney (HK-2) cell line. Mature (unpegylated) BMP-7 inhibits production of the cytokines interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-8 (IL-8).
- Figs. 9A-9C show that the PEG-BMP-7 conjugates retain biological activity, as evidenced by the ability to inhibit IL-6 production.
- Fig. 9A shows that the conjugated proteins inhibit IL-6 production over a protein concentration range of 50 ng/mL to 1.75 ng/mL, with the mature, mature BMP-7 (control, squares) and PEG30k-BMP-7 (triangles) having essentially the same inhibitory activity.
- Figs. 9B and 9C are similar plots over a wider protein concentration range and show that the PEG30k-BMP-7 conjugate retains activity nearly identical to that of the mature, mature protein, with the PEG-20k-Hz-BMP-7 conjugate have a somewhat diminished activity at higher protein concentrations.

- Figs. 1OB, 10C At higher concentrations of protein (Figs. 1OB, 10C), the PEG-20k-Hz-BMP-7 conjugate have a somewhat diminished activity (inverted triangles) relative to mature BMP-7, yet still exhibited an ability to inhibit IL-8 production.
- the PEG30k-BMP-7 conjugate (triangles) retained IL-8 inhibitory activity essentially equivalent to the mature protein.
- Example 5-7 a problem associated with systemic administration of mature BMP-7 for the treatment of renal failure and osteodystrophy is bone formation at the site of injection.
- the studies described in Example 6 and 7 provide further confirmation of the results observed in the study of Example 5. Pegylation of BMP-7 prevented injection site ossification in the muscle and skin, indicating that the conjugate is less osteogenic, or more soluble, and capable of rapid dispersion after injection.
