1 FIBROBLAST GROWTH FACTOR-19 (FGF-19) NUCLEIC ACIDS AND POLYPEPTIDES AND METHODS OF USE FOR THE TREATMENT OF
OBESITY
FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates generally to the identification and isolation of novel DNA and to the recombinant production of novel polypeptides designated herein as fibroblast growth factor-19 (FGF-19) polypeptides, and to methods, compositions and assays utilizing such polypeptides for the therapeutic treatment of obesity and for producing pharmaceutically active materials having therapeutic and pharmacologic properties including those associated with the treatment of obesity.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION All references, including any patents or patent applications, cited in this specification are hereby incorporated by reference. No admission is made that any 20 reference constitutes prior art. The discussion of the Sreferences states what their authors assert, and the applicants reserve the right to challenge the accuracy and pertinency of the cited documents. It will be clearly understood that, although a number of prior art 25 publications are referred to herein, this reference does not constitute an admission that any of these documents forms part of the common general knowledge in the art, in *oo Australia or in any other country.
Obesity is a chronic disease that is highly prevalent in modern society and is associated not only with a social stigma, but also with decreased life span and numerous medical problems, including adverse psychological development, reproductive disorders such as polycystic ovarian disease, dermatological disorders such as infections, varicose veins, Acanthosis nigricans, and eczema, exercise intolerance, diabetes mellitus, insulin resistance, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, H,\rochb\Keep\38784-00.doc 19/05/05 la cholelithiasis, osteoarthritis, orthopedic injury, thromboernbolic disease, cancer, and coronary heart disease. Rissanen et al., British Medical Journal, 301: 835-837 (1990).
Existing therapies for obesity include standard diets and exercise, very low calorie diets, behavioral therapy, pharmacotherapy involving appetite suppressants, H,\rochb\Keep\38784-Oo.doc 19/05/05 WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 thermogenic drugs, food absorption inhibitors, mechanical devices such as jaw wiring, waist cords and balloons, and surgery. Jung and Chong, Clinical Endocrinology, 11-20 (1991); Bray, Am. J. Clin. Nutr., 55: 538S-544S (1992). Protein-sparing modified fasting has been reported to be effective in weight reduction in adolescents.
Lee et al., Clin. Pediatr., 31: 234-236 (April 1992). Caloric restriction as a treatment for obesity causes catabolism of body protein stores and produces negative nitrogen balance. Protein-supplemented diets, therefore, have gained popularity as a means of lessening nitrogen loss during caloric restriction. Because such diets produce only modest nitrogen sparing, a more effective way to preserve lean body mass and protein stores is needed. In addition, treatment of obesity would be improved if such a regimen also resulted in accelerated loss of body fat. Various approaches to such treatment include those discussed by Weintraub and Bray, Med. Clinics N. Amer., 73: 237 (1989); Bray, Nutrition Reviews, 49: 33 (1991).
Considering the high prevalence of obesity in our society and the serious consequences associated therewith as discussed above, any therapeutic drug potentially useful in reducing weight of obese persons could have a profound beneficial effect on their health. There is a need in the art for a drug that will reduce total body weight of obese subjects toward their ideal body weight without significant adverse side effects and that will help the obese subject maintain the reduced weight level.
It is therefore desirable to provide a treatment regimen that is useful in returning the body weight of obese subjects toward a normal, ideal body weight.
It is further desirable to provide a therapy for obesity that results in maintenance of the lowered body weight for an extended period of time.
It is also desirable prevent obesity and, once treatment has begun, to arrest progression or prevent the onset of diseases that are the consequence of, or secondary to, the obesity, such as arteriosclerosis and polycystic ovarian disease.
Such methods of treatment and related compositions are provided herein. Also provided herein are novel proteins and nucleic acids, and methods for screening for modulators of the same. Other methods, treatments and compositions provided herein will become apparent to the skilled artisan.
2 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A cDNA clone (designated herein as DNA49435-1219) has been identified that encodes a novel polypeptide, which has some sequence similarity to members of the fibroblast growth factor family, designated in the present application as "fibroblast growth factor-19" (FGF-19).

"Percent amino acid sequence identity" with respect to the FGF-19 polypeptide sequences identified herein is defined as the percentage of amino acid residues in a candidate sequence that are identical with the amino acid residues in a FGF-19 sequence, after aligning the sequences and introducing gaps, if necessary, to achieve the maximum percent sequence identity, and not considering any conservative substitutions as part of the sequence identity. Alignment for purposes of determining percent amino acid sequence identity can be achieved in various ways that are within the skill in the art, for instance, using publicly available computer software such as BLAST, BLAST-2, ALIGN, ALIGN-2 or Megalign (DNASTAR) software. Those skilled in the art can determine appropriate parameters for measuring alignment, including any algorithms needed to achieve maximal alignment over the full-length of the sequences being compared. For purposes herein, however, amino acid sequence identity values are obtained as described below by using the sequence comparison computer program ALIGN-2, wherein the complete source code for the ALIGN-2 program is provided in Table 1 below. The ALIGN-2 sequence comparison computer program was authored by Genentech, Inc. and the source code shown in Table 1 has been filed with user documentation in the U.S. Copyright Office, Washington D.C., 20559, where it is registered under U.S. Copyright Registration No. TXU510087. The ALIGN-2 program is publicly available through Genentech, Inc., South San Francisco, California or may be compiled from the source code provided in Table 1. The ALIGN- 2 program should be compiled for use on a UNIX operating system, preferably digital UNIX V4.0D. All sequence comparison parameters are set by the ALIGN-2 program and do not vary.
For purposes herein, the amino acid sequence identity of a given amino acid sequence A to, with, or against a given amino acid sequence B (which can alternatively be phrased as a given amino acid sequence A that has or comprises a certain amino acid sequence identity to, with, or against a given amino acid sequence B) is calculated as follows: 19 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 100 times the fraction X/Y where X is the number of amino acid residues scored as identical matches by the sequence alignment program ALIGN-2 in that program's alignment of A and B, and where Y is the total number of amino acid residues in B. It will be appreciated that where the length of amino acid sequence A is not equal to the length of amino acid sequence B, the amino acid sequence identity of A to B will not equal the amino acid sequence identity of B to A. As examples of amino acid sequence identity calculations, Tables 2 and 3 demonstrate how to calculate the amino acid sequence identity of the amino acid sequence designated "Comparison Protein" to the amino acid sequence designated "PRO".
Unless specifically stated otherwise, all amino acid sequence identity values used herein are obtained as described above using the ALIGN-2 sequence comparison computer program. However, amino acid sequence identity may also be determined using the sequence comparison program NCBI-BLAST2 (Altschul et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 25:3389-3402 (1997)). The NCBI-BLAST2 sequence comparison program may be downloaded from http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov or otherwise obtained from the National Institute of Health, Bethesda, MD. NCBI-BLAST2 uses several search parameters, wherein all of those search parameters are set to default values including, for example, unmask yes, strand all, expected occurrences 10, minimum low complexity length 15/5, multi-pass e-value 0.01, constant for multi-pass dropoff for final gapped alignment 25 and scoring matrix BLOSUM62.
In situations where NCBI-BLAST2 is employed for amino acid sequence comparisons, the amino acid sequence identity of a given amino acid sequence A to, with, or against a given amino acid sequence B (which can alternatively be phrased as a given amino acid sequence A that has or comprises a certain amino acid sequence identity to, with, or against a given amino acid sequence B) is calculated as follows: 100 times the fraction X/Y SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 where X is the number of amino acid residues scored as identical matches by the sequence alignment program NCBI-BLAST2 in that program's alignment of A and B, and where Y is the total number of amino acid residues in B. It will be appreciated that where the length of amino acid sequence A is not equal to the length of amino acid sequence B, the amino acid sequence identity of A to B will not equal the amino acid sequence identity of B to A.
"FGF-19 variant polynucleotide" or "FGF-19 variant nucleic acid sequence" means a nucleic acid molecule which encodes an active FGF-19 polypeptide as defined below and which has at least about 80% nucleic acid sequence identity with either (a) a nucleic acid sequence which encodes residues 1 or about 23 to 216 of the FGF-19 polypeptide shown in Figure 2 (SEQ ID NO:2), a nucleic acid sequence which encodes amino acids X to 216 of the FGF-19 polypeptide shown in Figure 2 (SEQ ID NO:2), wherein X is any amino acid residue from 17 to 27 of Figure 2 (SEQ ID NO:2), or a nucleic acid sequence which encodes another specifically derived fragment of the amino acid sequence shown in Figure 2 (SEQ ID NO:2). Ordinarily, a FGF-19 variant polynucleotide will have at least about 80% nucleic acid sequence identity, alternatively at least about 81% nucleic acid sequence identity, alternatively at least about 82% nucleic acid sequence identity, alternatively at least about 83% nucleic acid sequence identity, alternatively at least about 84% nucleic acid sequence identity, alternatively at least about 85% nucleic acid sequence identity, alternatively at least about 86% nucleic acid sequence identity, alternatively at least about 87% nucleic acid sequence identity, alternatively at least about 88% nucleic acid sequence identity, alternatively at least about 89% nucleic acid sequence identity, alternatively at least about 90% nucleic acid sequence identity, alternatively at least about 91% nucleic acid sequence identity, alternatively at least about 92% nucleic acid sequence identity, alternatively at least about 93% nucleic acid sequence identity, alternatively at least about 94% nucleic acid sequence identity, alternatively at least about nucleic acid sequence identity, alternatively at least about 96% nucleic acid sequence identity, alternatively at least about 97% nucleic acid sequence identity, alternatively at least about 98% nucleic acid sequence identity and alternatively at least about 99% nucleic acid sequence identity with either a nucleic acid sequence which encodes 21 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 residues 1 or about 23 to 216 of the FGF-19 polypeptide shown in Figure 2 (SEQ ID NO:2), a nucleic acid sequence which encodes amino acids X to 216 of the FGF-19 polypeptide shown in Figure 2 (SEQ ID NO:2), wherein X is any amino acid residue from 17 to 27 of Figure 2 (SEQ ID NO:2), or a nucleic acid sequence which encodes another specifically derived fragment of the amino acid sequence shown in Figure 2 (SEQ ID NO:2). FGF-19 polynucleotide variants do not encompass the native FGF-19 nucleotide sequence.

"Percent nucleic acid sequence identity" with respect to the FGF-19 polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid sequences identified herein is defined as the percentage of nucleotides in a candidate sequence that are identical with the nucleotides in a FGF-19 polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid sequence, after aligning the sequences and introducing gaps, if necessary, to achieve the maximum percent sequence identity.

The ALIGN-2 program should be compiled for use on a UNIX operating system, preferably digital UNIX V4.0D. All sequence comparison parameters are set by the ALIGN-2 program and do not vary.
For purposes herein, the nucleic acid sequence identity of a given nucleic acid sequence C to, with, or against a given nucleic acid sequence D (which can alternatively be phrased as a given nucleic acid sequence C that has or comprises a certain nucleic acid sequence identity to, with, or against a given nucleic acid sequence D) is calculated as follows: 100 times the fraction W/Z where W is the number of nucleotides scored as identical matches by the sequence alignment program ALIGN-2 in that program's alignment of C and D, and where Z is the total number of nucleotides in D. It will be appreciated that where the length of nucleic acid sequence C is not equal to the length of nucleic acid sequence D, the nucleic acid sequence identity of C to D will not equal the nucleic acid sequence identity of D to C. As examples of nucleic acid sequence identity calculations, Tables 4 and 5 demonstrate how to calculate the nucleic acid sequence identity of the nucleic acid sequence designated "Comparison DNA" to the nucleic acid sequence designated "PRO-DNA".
Unless specifically stated otherwise, all nucleic acid sequence identity values used herein are obtained as described above using the ALIGN-2 sequence comparison computer program. However, nucleic acid sequence identity may also be determined using the sequence comparison program NCBI-BLAST2 (Altschul et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 25:3389-3402 (1997)). The NCBI-BLAST2 sequence comparison program may be downloaded from http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov or otherwise obtained from the 23 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 National Institute of Health, Bethesda, MD. NCBI-BLAST2 uses several search parameters, wherein all of those search parameters are set to default values including, for example, unmask yes, strand all, expected occurrences 10, minimum low complexity length 15/5, multi-pass e-value 0.01, constant for multi-pass dropoff for final gapped alignment 25 and scoring matrix BLOSUM62.
In situations where NCBI-BLAST2 is employed for sequence comparisons, the nucleic acid sequence identity of a given nucleic acid sequence C to, with, or against a given nucleic acid sequence D (which can alternatively be phrased as a given nucleic acid sequence C that has or comprises a certain nucleic acid sequence identity to, with, or against a given nucleic acid sequence D) is calculated as follows: 100 times the fraction W/Z where W is the number of nucleotides scored as identical matches by the sequence alignment program NCBI-BLAST2 in that program's alignment of C and D, and where Z is the total number of nucleotides in D. It will be appreciated that where the length of nucleic acid sequence C is not equal to the length of nucleic acid sequence D, the nucleic acid sequence identity of C to D will not equal the nucleic acid sequence identity of D to C.
In other embodiments, FGF-19 variant polynucleotides are nucleic acid molecules that encode an active FGF-19 polypeptide and which are capable of hybridizing, preferably under stringent hybridization and wash conditions, to nucleotide sequences encoding the full-length FGF-19 polypeptide shown in Figure 2 (SEQ ID NO:2). FGF-19 variant polypeptides may be those that are encoded by a FGF-19 variant polynucleotide.
The term "positives", in the context of the amino acid sequence identity comparisons performed as described above, includes amino acid residues in the sequences compared that are not only identical, but also those that have similar properties. Amino acid residues that score a positive value to an amino acid residue of interest are those that are either identical to the amino acid residue of interest or are 24 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 a preferred substitution (as defined in Table 6 below) of the amino acid residue of interest.
For purposes herein, the value of positives of a given amino acid sequence A to, with, or against a given amino acid sequence B (which can alternatively be phrased as a given amino acid sequence A that has or comprises a certain positives to, with, or against a given amino acid sequence B) is calculated as follows: 100 times the fraction X/Y where X is the number of amino acid residues scoring a positive value as detined above by the sequence alignment program ALIGN-2 in that program's alignment of A and B, and where Y is the total number of amino acid residues in B. It will be appreciated that where the length of amino acid sequence A is not equal to the length of amino acid sequence B, the positives of A to B will not equal the positives of B to A.
"Isolated," when used to describe the various polypeptides disclosed herein, means polypeptide that has been identified and separated and/or recovered from a component of its natural environment. Preferably, the isolated polypeptide is free of association with all components with which it is naturally associated. Contaminant components of its natural environment are materials that would typically interfere with diagnostic or therapeutic uses for the polypeptide, and may include enzymes, hormones, and other proteinaceous or non-proteinaceous solutes. In preferred embodiments, the polypeptide will be purified to a degree sufficient to obtain at least 15 residues of N-terminal or internal amino acid sequence by use of a spinning cup sequenator, or (2) to homogeneity by SDS-PAGE under non-reducing or reducing conditions using Coomassie blue or, preferably, silver stain. Isolated polypeptide includes polypeptide in situ within recombinant cells, since at least one component of the FGF-19 natural environment will not be present. Ordinarily, however, isolated polypeptide will be prepared by at least one purification step.
An "isolated" nucleic acid molecule encoding a FGF-19 polypeptide is a nucleic acid molecule that is identified and separated from at least one contaminant nucleic acid molecule with which it is ordinarily associated in the natural source of the FGF-19- SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 encoding nucleic acid. Preferably, the isolated nucleic is free of association with all components with which it is naturally associated. An isolated FGF-19-encoding nucleic acid molecule is other than in the form or setting in which it is found in nature.
Isolated nucleic acid molecules therefore are distinguished from the FGF-19-encoding nucleic acid molecule as it exists in natural cells. However, an isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding a FGF-19 polypeptide includes FGF-19-encoding nucleic acid molecules contained in cells that ordinarily express FGF-19 where, for example, the nucleic acid molecule is in a chromosomal location different from that of natural cells.
The term "control sequences" refers to DNA sequences necessary for the expression of an operably linked coding sequence in a particular host organism. The control sequences that are suitable for prokaryotes, for example, include a promoter, optionally an operator sequence, and a ribosome binding site. Eukaryotic cells are known to utilize promoters, polyadenylation signals, and enhancers.
Nucleic acid is "operably linked" when it is placed into a functional relationship with another nucleic acid sequence. For example, DNA for a presequence or secretory leader is operably linked to DNA for a polypeptide if it is expressed as a preprotein that participates in the secretion of the polypeptide; a promoter or enhancer is operably linked to a coding sequence if it affects the transcription of the sequence; or a ribosome binding site is operably linked to a coding sequence if it is positioned so as to facilitate translation. Generally, "operably linked" means that the DNA sequences being linked are contiguous, and, in the case of a secretory leader, contiguous and in reading phase.
However, enhancers do not have to be contiguous. Linking is accomplished by ligation at convenient restriction sites. If such sites do not exist, the synthetic oligonucleotide adaptors or linkers are used in accordance with conventional practice.
The term "antibody" is used in the broadest sense and specifically covers, for example, single anti-FGF-19 monoclonal antibodies (including agonist, antagonist, and neutralizing antibodies), anti-FGF-19 antibody compositions with polyepitopic specificity, single chain anti-FGF-19 antibodies, and fragments of anti-FGF-19 antibodies (see below). The term "monoclonal antibody" as used herein refers to an antibody obtained from a population of substantially homogeneous antibodies, the 26 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 individual antibodies comprising the population are identical except for possible naturally-occurring mutations that may be present in minor amounts.
"Stringency" of hybridization reactions is readily determinable by one of ordinary skill in the art, and generally is an empirical calculation dependent upon probe length, washing temperature, and salt concentration. In general, longer probes require higher temperatures for proper annealing, while shorter probes need lower temperatures. Hybridization generally depends on the ability of denatured DNA to reanneal when complementary strands are present in an environment below their melting temperature. The higher the degree of desired homology between the probe and hybridizable sequence, the higher the relative temperature which can be used. As a result, it follows that higher relative temperatures would tend to make the reaction conditions more stringent, while lower temperatures less so. For additional details and explanation of stringency of hybridization reactions, see Ausubel et al., Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, Wiley Interscience Publishers, (1995).
"Stringent conditions" or "high stringency conditions", as defined herein, may be identified by those that: employ low ionic strength and high temperature for washing, for example 0.015 M sodium chloride/0.0015 M sodium citrate/0. 1% sodium dodecyl sulfate at 50 0 C; employ during hybridization a denaturing agent, such as formamide, for example, 50% formamide with 0.1 bovine serum albumin/0.1 Ficoll/0.1 polyvinylpyrrolidone/50mM sodium phosphate buffer at pH 6.5 with 750 mM sodium chloride, 75 mM sodium citrate at 42 0 C; or employ 50% formamide, x SSC (0.75 M NaCI, 0.075 M sodium citrate), 50 mM sodium phosphate (pH 6.8), 0.1% sodium pyrophosphate, 5 x Denhardt's solution, sonicated salmon sperm DNA g/ml), 0.1 SDS, and 10% dextran sulfate at 42 0 C, with washes at 42 0 C in 0.2 x SSC (sodium chloride/sodium citrate) and 50% formamide at 55 0 C, followed by a high-stringency wash consisting of 0.1 x SSC containing EDTA at "Moderately stringent conditions" may be identified as described by Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, New York: Cold Spring Harbor Press, 1989, and include the use of washing solution and hybridization conditions temperature, ionic strength and %SDS) less stringent that those described above. An example of moderately stringent conditions is overnight incubation at 37 0 C in a 27 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 solution comprising: 20% formamide, 5 x SSC (150 mM NaCI, 15 mM trisodium citrate), 50 mM sodium phosphate (pH 5 x Denhardt's solution, 10% dextran sulfate, and 20 mg/ml denatured sheared salmon sperm DNA, followed by washing the filters in 1 x SSC at about 37-50 0 C. The skilled artisan will recognize how to adjust the temperature, ionic strength, etc. as necessary to accommodate factors such as probe length and the like.
The term "epitope tagged" when used herein refers to a chimeric polypeptide comprising a FGF-19 polypeptide fused to a "tag polypeptide". The tag polypeptide has enough residues to provide an epitope against which an antibody can be made, yet is short enough such that it does not interfere with activity of the polypeptide to which it is fused. The tag polypeptide preferably also is fairly unique so that the antibody does not substantially cross-react with other epitopes. Suitable tag polypeptides generally have at least six amino acid residues and usually between about 8 and amino acid residues (preferably, between about 10 and 20 amino acid residues).
As used herein, the term "immunoadhesin" designates antibody-like molecules which combine the binding specificity of a heterologous protein (an "adhesin") with the effector functions of immunoglobulin constant domains. Structurally, the immunoadhesins comprise a fusion of an amino acid sequence with the desired binding specificity which is other than the antigen recognition and binding site of an antibody is "heterologous"), and an immunoglobulin constant domain sequence. The adhesin part of an immunoadhesin molecule typically is a contiguous amino acid sequence comprising at least the binding site of a receptor or a ligand. The immunoglobulin constant domain sequence in the immunoadhesin may be obtained from any immunoglobulin, such as IgG-1, IgG-2, IgG-3, or IgG-4 subtypes, IgA (including IgA-1 and IgA-2), IgE, IgD or IgM.
"Active" or "activity" for the purposes herein refers to form(s) of FGF-19 which retain a biological and/or an immunological activity of native or naturally-occurring FGF-19, wherein "biological" activity refers to a biological function (either inhibitory or stimulatory) caused by a native or naturally-occurring FGF-19 other than the ability to induce the production of an antibody against an antigenic epitope possessed by a native or naturally-occurring FGF-19 and an "immunological" activity refers to the 28 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 ability to induce the production of an antibody against an antigenic epitope possessed by a native or naturally-occurring FGF-19. A preferred biological activity includes any one or more of the following activities: increases metabolism (or metabolic rate) in an individual, decreases body weight of an individual, decreases adiposity in an individual, decreases glucose uptake into adipocytes, increases leptin release from adipocytes, decreases triglycerides in an individual, and decreases free fatty acids in an individual.
It is understood that some of the activities of FGF-19 are directly induced by FGF-19 and some are indirectly induced, however, each are the result of the presence of FGF- 19 and would not otherwise have the result in the absence of FGF-19.
The term "antagonist" is used in the broadest sense, and includes any molecule that partially or fully blocks, inhibits, or neutralizes a biological activity of a native FGF-19 polypeptide disclosed herein. In a similar manner, the term "agonist" is used in the broadest sense and includes any molecule that mimics a biological activity of a native FGF-19 polypeptide disclosed herein. Suitable agonist or antagonist molecules specifically include agonist or antagonist antibodies or antibody fragments, fragments or amino acid sequence variants of native FGF-19 polypeptides, peptides, small organic molecules, etc. Methods for identifying agonists or antagonists of a FGF-19 polypeptide may comprise contacting a FGF-19 polypeptide with a candidate agonist or antagonist molecule and measuring a detectable change in one or more biological activities normally associated with the FGF-19 polypeptide.
"Treatment" refers to both therapeutic treatment and prophylactic or preventative measures, wherein the object is to prevent or slow down (lessen) the targeted pathologic condition or disorder. Those in need of treatment include those already with the disorder as well as those prone to have the disorder or those in whom the disorder is to be prevented.
"Chronic" administration refers to administration of the agent(s) in a continuous mode as opposed to an acute mode, so as to maintain the initial therapeutic effect (activity) for an extended period of time. "Intermittent" administration is treatment that is not consecutively done without interruption, but rather is cyclic in nature.
"Mammal" for purposes of treatment refers to any animal classified as a mammal, including humans, domestic and farm animals, and zoo, sports, or pet 29 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) 30 animals, such as dogs, cats, cattle, horses, sheep, pigs, goats, rabbits, etc. Preferably, the mammal is human.
"Individual" is any subject, preferably a mammal, more preferably a human.
"Obesity" refers to a condition whereby a mammal has a Body Mass Index (BMI), which is calculated as weight (kg) per height 2 (meters), of at least 25.9.
Conventionally, those persons with normal weight have a BMI of 19.9 to less than 25.9. The obesity referred to herein may be due to any cause, whether genetic or environmental. Examples of disorders that may result in obesity or be the cause of obesity include overeating and bulimia, polycystic ovarian disease, craniopharyngioma, Prader-Willi Syndrome, Frohlich's syndrome, Type II diabetes, GH-deficient subjects, normal variant short stature, Turner's syndrome, and other pathological conditions showing reduced metabolic activity or a decrease in resting energy expenditure as a percentage of total fat-free mass, e.g. children with acute 20 lymphoblastic leukemia.
"Conditions related to obesity" or "obesity-related conditions" refer to conditions which are the result of or which are exacerbated by obesity, such 9 9 as, but not limited to dermatological disorders such as *e 25 infections, varicose veins, Acanthosis nigricans, and eczema, exercise intolerance, diabetes mellitus, insulin resistance, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, cholelithiasis, osteoarthritis, orthopedic injury, thromboembolic disease, cancer, and coronary (or e cardiovascular) heart disease, particularly those cardiovascular conditions associated with high triglycerides and free fatty acids in an individual.
Administration "in combination with" one or more further therapeutic agents includes simultaneous (concurrent) and consecutive administration in any order.

T M "Antibody fragments" comprise a portion of an intact antibody, preferably the antigen binding or variable region of the intact antibody. Examples of antibody fragments include Fab, Fab', F(ab') 2 and Fv fragments; diabodies; linear antibodies (Zapata et al., Protein Eng. 8(10): 1057-1062 [1995]); single-chain antibody molecules; and multispecific antibodies formed from antibody fragments.
Papain digestion of antibodies produces two identical antigen-binding fragments, called "Fab" fragments, each with a single antigen-binding site, and a residual "Fc" fragment, a designation reflecting the ability to crystallize readily. Pepsin treatment yields an F(ab') 2 fragment that has two antigen-combining sites and is still capable of cross-linking antigen.
"Fv" is the minimum antibody fragment which contains a complete antigenrecognition and -binding site. This region consists of a dimer of one heavy- and one light-chain variable domain in tight, non-covalent association. It is in this configuration that the three CDRs of each variable domain interact to define an antigen-binding site on the surface of the VH-VL dimer. Collectively, the six CDRs confer antigen-binding specificity to the antibody. However, even a single variable domain (or half of an Fv comprising only three CDRs specific for an antigen) has the ability to recognize and bind antigen, although at a lower affinity than the entire binding site.
The Fab fragment also contains the constant domain of the light chain and the first constant domain (CHI) of the heavy chain. Fab fragments differ from Fab' fragments by the addition of a few residues at the carboxy terminus of the heavy chain CH1 domain including one or more cysteines from the antibody hinge region. Fab'-SH is the designation herein for Fab' in which the cysteine residue(s) of the constant domains bear a free thiol group. F(ab') 2 antibody fragments originally were produced as pairs of Fab' fragments which have hinge cysteines between them. Other chemical couplings of antibody fragments are also known.
31 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCTIUS00/06471 The "light chains" of antibodies (immunoglobulins) from any vertebrate species can be assigned to one of two clearly distinct types, called kappa and lambda, based on the amino acid sequences of their constant domains.
Depending on the amino acid sequence of the constant domain of their heavy chains, immunoglobulins can be assigned to different classes. There are five major classes of immunoglobulins: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM, and several of these may be further divided into subclasses (isotypes), IgGI, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA, and IgA2.
"Single-chain Fv" or "sFv" antibody fragments comprise the VH and VL domains of antibody, wherein these domains are present in a single polypeptide chain.
Preferably, the Fv polypeptide further comprises a polypeptide linker between the VH and VL domains which enables the sFv to form the desired structure for antigen binding. For a review of sFv, see Pluckthun in The Pharmacology of Monoclonal Antibodies, vol. 113, Rosenburg and Moore eds., Springer-Verlag, New York, pp.
269-315 (1994).
The term "diabodies" refers to small antibody fragments with two antigenbinding sites, which fragments comprise a heavy-chain variable domain (VH) connected to a light-chain variable domain (VL) in the same polypeptide chain (VH VL). By using a linker that is too short to allow pairing between the two domains on the same chain, the domains are forced to pair with the complementary domains of another chain and create two antigen-binding sites. Diabodies are described more fully, in, for example, EP 404,097; WO 93/11161; and Hollinger et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.
USA, 90:6444-6448 (1993).
An "isolated" antibody is one which has been identified and separated and/or recovered from a component of its natural environment. Contaminant components of its natural environment are materials which would interfere with diagnostic or therapeutic uses for the antibody, and may include enzymes, hormones, and other proteinaceous or nonproteinaceous solutes. In preferred embodiments, the antibody will be purified to greater than 95% by weight of antibody as determined by the Lowry method, and most preferably more than 99% by weight, to a degree sufficient to obtain at least 15 residues of N-terminal or internal amino acid sequence 32 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 by use of a spinning cup sequenator, or to homogeneity by SDS-PAGE under reducing or nonreducing conditions using Coomassie blue or, preferably, silver stain.
Isolated antibody includes the antibody in situ within recombinant cells since at least one component of the antibody's natural environment will not be present. Ordinarily, however, isolated antibody will be prepared by at least one purification step.
The word "label" when used herein refers to a detectable compound or composition which is conjugated directly or indirectly to the antibody so as to generate a "labeled" antibody. The label may be detectable by itself radioisotope labels or fluorescent labels) or, in the case of an enzymatic label, may catalyze chemical alteration of a substrate compound or composition which is detectable.
By "solid phase" is meant a non-aqueous matrix to which the antibody of the present invention can adhere. Examples of solid phases encompassed herein include those formed partially or entirely of glass controlled pore glass), polysaccharides agarose), polyacrylamides, polystyrene, polyvinyl alcohol and silicones. In certain embodiments, depending on the context, the solid phase can comprise the well of an assay plate; in others it is a purification column an affinity chromatography column). This term also includes a discontinuous solid phase of discrete particles, such as those described in U.S. Patent No. 4,275,149.
A "liposome" is a small vesicle composed of various types of lipids, phospholipids and/or surfactant which is useful for delivery of a drug (such as a FGF- 19 polypeptide or antibody thereto) to a mammal. The components of the liposome are commonly arranged in a bilayer formation, similar to the lipid arrangement of biological membranes.
A "small molecule" is defined herein to have a molecular weight below about 500 Daltons.

Compositions and Methods of the Invention A. Full-length FGF-19 Polvyeptide The present invention provides newly identified and isolated nucleotide sequences encoding polypeptides referred to in the present application as FGF-19 (or also UNQ334).
In particular, cDNA encoding a FGF-19 polypeptide has been identified and isolated, as disclosed in further detail in the Examples below. It is noted that proteins produced in separate expression rounds may be given different PRO numbers but the UNQ number is unique for any given DNA and the encoded protein, and will not be changed. However, for sake of simplicity, in the present specification the protein encoded by DNA49435- 1219 as well as all further native homologues and variants included in the foregoing definition of FGF-19 (also sometimes referred to as PR0533), will be referred to as "FGF-19", regardless of their origin or mode of preparation.
As disclosed in the Examples below, a cDNA clone designated herein as DNA49435-1219 has been deposited with the ATCC. The actual nucleotide sequence of the clone can readily be determined by the skilled artisan by sequencing of the deposited clone using routine methods in the art. The predicted amino acid sequence can be determined from the nucleotide sequence using routine skill. For the FGF-19 polypeptide and encoding nucleic acid described herein, Applicants have identified what is believed to be the reading frame best identifiable with the sequence information available at the time.
Using the ALIGN-2 sequence alignment computer program referenced above, it has been found that the full-length native sequence FGF-19 (shown in Figure 2 and SEQ ID NO:2) has certain amino acid sequence identity with AF007268_1. Accordingly, it is presently believed that the FGF-19 polypeptide disclosed in the present application is a newly identified member of the fibroblast growth factor protein family and may possess one or more biological and/or immunological activities or properties typical of that protein family.
B. FGF-19 Variants In addition to the full-length native sequence FGF-19 polypeptides described herein, it is contemplated that FGF-19 variants can be prepared. FGF-19 variants can be SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 prepared by introducing appropriate nucleotide changes into the FGF-19 DNA, and/or by synthesis of the desired FGF-19 polypeptide. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that amino acid changes may alter post-translational processes of the FGF-19, such as changing the number or position of glycosylation sites or altering the membrane anchoring characteristics.
Variations in the native full-length sequence FGF-19 or in various domains of the FGF-19 described herein, can be made, for example, using any of the techniques and guidelines for conservative and non-conservative mutations set forth, for instance, in U.S.
Patent No. 5,364,934. Variations may be a substitution, deletion or insertion of one or more codons encoding the FGF-19 that results in a change in the amino acid sequence of the FGF-19 as compared with the native sequence FGF-19. Optionally the variation is by substitution of at least one amino acid with any other amino acid in one or more of the domains of the FGF-19. Guidance in determining which amino acid residue may be inserted, substituted or deleted without adversely affecting the desired activity may be found by comparing the sequence of the FGF- 19 with that of homologous known protein molecules and minimizing the number of amino acid sequence changes made in regions of high homology. Amino acid substitutions can be the result of replacing one amino acid with another amino acid having similar structural and/or chemical properties, such as the replacement of a leucine with a serine, conservative amino acid replacements.
Insertions or deletions may optionally be in the range of about 1 to 5 amino acids. The variation allowed may be determined by systematically making insertions, deletions or substitutions of amino acids in the sequence and testing the resulting variants for activity exhibited by the full-length or mature native sequence.
FGF-19 polypeptide fragments are provided herein. Such fragments may be truncated at the N-terminus or C-terminus, or may lack internal residues, for example, when compared with a full length native protein. Certain fragments lack amino acid residues that are not essential for a desired biological activity of the FGF- 19 polypeptide.
FGF-19 fragments may be prepared by any of a number of conventional techniques. Desired peptide fragments may be chemically synthesized. An alternative approach involves generating FGF-19 fragments by enzymatic digestion, by treating the protein with an enzyme known to cleave proteins at sites defined by particular amino 56 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 acid residues, or by digesting the DNA with suitable restriction enzymes and isolating the desired fragment. Yet another suitable technique involves isolating and amplifying a DNA fragment encoding a desired polypeptide fragment, by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Oligonucleotides that define the desired termini of the DNA fragment are employed at the 5' and 3' primers in the PCR. Preferably, FGF-19 polypeptide fragments share at least one biological and/or immunological activity with the native FGF-19 polypeptide shown in Figure 2 (SEQ ID NO:2).
In particular embodiments, conservative substitutions of interest are shown in Table 6 under the heading of preferred substitutions. If such substitutions result in a change in biological activity, then more substantial changes, denominated exemplary substitutions in Table 6, or as further described below in reference to amino acid classes, are introduced and the products screened.

Naturally occurring residues are divided into groups based on common side-chain properties: hydrophobic: norleucine, met, ala, val, leu, ile; neutral hydrophilic: cys, ser, thr; acidic: asp, glu; basic: asn, gin, his, lys, arg; residues that influence chain orientation: gly, pro; and aromatic: trp, tyr, phe.
Non-conservative substitutions will entail exchanging a member of one of these classes for another class. Such substituted residues also may be introduced into the conservative substitution sites or, more preferably, into the remaining (non-conserved) sites.
The variations can be made using methods known in the art such as oligonucleotide-mediated (site-directed) mutagenesis, alanine scanning, and PCR mutagenesis. Site-directed mutagenesis [Carter et al., Nucl. Acids Res., 13:4331 (1986); 58 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 Zoller et al., Nucl. Acids Res., 10:6487 (1987)], cassette mutagenesis [Wells et al., Gene, 34:315 (1985)], restriction selection mutagenesis [Wells et al., Philos. Trans. R. Soc.
London SerA, 317:415 (1986)] or other known techniques can be performed on the cloned DNA to produce the FGF-19 variant DNA.
Scanning amino acid analysis can also be employed to identify one or more amino acids along a contiguous sequence. Among the preferred scanning amino acids are relatively small, neutral amino acids. Such amino acids include alanine, glycinc, serine, and cysteine. Alanine is typically a preferred scanning amino acid among this group because it eliminates the side-chain beyond the beta-carbon and is less likely to alter the main-chain conformation of the variant [Cunningham and Wells, Science, 244:1081-1085 (1989)]. Alanine is also typically preferred because it is the most common amino acid.
Further, it is frequently found in both buried and exposed positions [Creighton, The Proteins, Freeman Co., Chothia, J. Mol. Biol., 150:1 (1976)]. If alanine substitution does not yield adequate amounts of variant, an isoteric amino acid can be used.
C. Modifications of FGF-19 Covalent modifications ofFGF- 19 are included within the scope of this invention.
One type of covalent modification includes reacting targeted amino acid residues of a FGF-19 polypeptide with an organic derivatizing agent that is capable of reacting with selected side chains or the N- or C- terminal residues of the FGF- 19. Derivatization with bifunctional agents is useful, for instance, for crosslinking FGF-19 to a water-insoluble support matrix or surface for use in the method for purifying anti-FGF-19 antibodies, and vice-versa. Commonly used crosslinking agents include, 1,1-bis(diazoacetyl)-2phcnylethane, glutaraldehyde, N-hydroxysuccinimide esters, for example, esters with 4azidosalicylic acid, homobifunctional imidoesters, including disuccinimidyl esters such as 3,3'-dithiobis(succinimidylpropionate), bifunctional maleimides such as bis-Nmaleimido-1,8-octane and agents such as methyl-3-[(p-azidophenyl)dithio]propioimidate.
Other modifications include deamidation ofglutaminyl and asparaginyl residues to the corresponding glutamyl and aspartyl residues, respectively, hydroxylation of proline and lysine, phosphorylation of hydroxyl groups of seryl or threonyl residues, 59 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 methylation of the a-amino groups of lysine, arginine, and histidine side chains [T.E.
Creighton, Proteins: Structure and Molecular Properties, W.H. Freeman Co., San Francisco, pp. 79-86 (1983)], acetylation of the N-terminal amine, and amidation of any C-terminal carboxyl group.
Another type of covalent modification of the FGF-19 polypeptide included within the scope of this invention comprises altering the native glycosylation pattern of the polypeptide. "Altering the native glycosylation pattern" is intended for purposes herein to mean deleting one or more carbohydrate moieties found in native sequence FGF-19 (either by removing the underlying glycosylation site or by deleting the glycosylation by chemical and/or enzymatic means), and/or adding one or more glycosylation sites that are not present in the native sequence FGF-19. In addition, the phrase includes qualitative changes in the glycosylation of the native proteins, involving a change in the nature and proportions of the various carbohydrate moieties present.
Addition of glycosylation sites to the FGF-19 polypeptide may be accomplished by altering the amino acid sequence. The alteration may be made, for example, by the addition of, or substitution by, one or more serine or threonine residues to the native sequence FGF-19 (for O-linked glycosylation sites). The FGF-19 amino acid sequence may optionally be altered through changes at the DNA level, particularly by mutating the DNA encoding the FGF-19 polypeptide at preselected bases such that codons are generated that will translate into the desired amino acids.
Another means of increasing the number of carbohydrate moieties on the FGF-19 polypeptide is by chemical or enzymatic coupling of glycosides to the polypeptide. Such methods are described in the art, in WO 87/05330 published 1 September 1987, and in Aplin and Wriston, CRC Crit. Rev. Biochem., pp. 259-306 (1981).
Removal of carbohydrate moieties present on the FGF-19 polypeptide may be accomplished chemically or enzymatically or by mutational substitution of codons encoding for amino acid residues that serve as targets for glycosylation. Chemical deglycosylation techniques are known in the art and described, for instance, by Hakimuddin, et al., Arch. Biochem. Biophvs., 259:52 (1987) and by Edge et al., Anal.
Biochem., 118:131 (1981). Enzymatic cleavage of carbohydrate moieties on polypeptides SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 can be achieved by the use of a variety of endo- and exo-glycosidases as described by Thotakura et al., Meth. Enzymol., 138:350 (1987).
Another type of covalent modification of FGF-19 comprises linking the FGF-19 polypeptide to one of a variety of nonproteinaceous polymers, polyethylene glycol (PEG), polypropylene glycol, or polyoxyalkylenes, in the manner set forth in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,640,835; 4,496,689; 4,301,144; 4,670,417; 4,791,192 or 4,179,337.
The FGF-19 of the present invention may also be modified in a way to form a chimeric molecule comprising FGF-19 fused to another, heterologous polypeptide or amino acid sequence.
In one embodiment, such a chimeric molecule comprises a fusion of the FGF-19 with a tag polypeptide which provides an epitope to which an anti-tag antibody can selectively bind. The epitope tag is generally placed at the amino- or carboxyl- terminus of the FGF-19. The presence of such epitope-tagged forms of the FGF-19 can be detected using an antibody against the tag polypeptide. Also, provision of the epitope tag enables the FGF-19 to be readily purified by affinity purification using an anti-tag antibody or another type of affinity matrix that binds to the epitope tag. Various tag polypeptides and their respective antibodies are well known in the art. Examples include poly-histidine (poly-his) or poly-histidine-glycine (poly-his-gly) tags; the flu HA tag polypeptide and its antibody 12CA5 [Field et al., Mol. Cell. Biol., 8:2159-2165 (1988)]; the c-myc tag and the 8F9, 3C7, 6E10, G4, B7 and 9E10 antibodies thereto [Evan et al., Molecular and Cellular Biology, 5:3610-3616 (1985)]; and the Herpes Simplex virus glycoprotein D (gD) tag and its antibody [Paborsky et al., Protein Engineering, 3(6):547-553 (1990)].
Other tag polypeptides include the Flag-peptide [Hopp et al., BioTechnology, 6:1204- 1210 (1988)]; the KT3 epitope peptide [Martin et al., Science, 255:192-194 (1992)]; an a-tubulin epitope peptide [Skinner et al., J. Biol. Chem., 266:15163-15166 (1991)]; and the T7 gene 10 protein peptide tag [Lutz-Freyermuth et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 87:6393-6397 (1990)].
In an alternative embodiment, the chimeric molecule may comprise a fusion of the FGF-19 with an immunoglobulin or a particular region of an immunoglobulin. For a bivalent form of the chimeric molecule (also referred to as an "immunoadhesin"), such a fusion could be to the Fc region of an IgG molecule. The Ig fusions preferably include 61 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 the substitution of a soluble (transmembrane domain deleted or inactivated) form of a FGF-19 polypeptide in place of at least one variable region within an Ig molecule. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the immunoglobulin fusion includes the hinge, CH2 and CH3, or the hinge, CHI, CH2 and CH3 regions of an IgGI molecule. For the production of immunoglobulin fusions see also US Patent No. 5,428,130 issued June 27, 1995.
D. Preparation of FGF-19 The description below relates primarily to production of FGF- 19 by culturing cells transformed or transfected with a vector containing FGF- 19 nucleic acid. It is, of course, contemplated that alternative methods, which are well known in the art, may be employed to prepare FGF-19. For instance, the FGF-19 sequence, or portions thereof, may be produced by direct peptide synthesis using solid-phase techniques [see, Stewart et al., Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis, W.H. Freeman Co., San Francisco, CA (1969); Merrifield, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 85:2149-2154 (1963)]. In vitro protein synthesis may be performed using manual techniques or by automation. Automated synthesis may be accomplished, for instance, using an Applied Biosystems Peptide Synthesizer (Foster City, CA) using manufacturer's instructions. Various portions of the FGF-19 may be chemically synthesized separately and combined using chemical or enzymatic methods to produce the full-length FGF-19.
1. Isolation of DNA Encoding FGF-19 DNA encoding FGF-19 may be obtained from a cDNA library prepared from tissue believed to possess the FGF-19 mRNA and to express it at a detectable level.
Accordingly, human FGF-19 DNA can be conveniently obtained from a cDNA library prepared from human tissue, such as described in the Examples. The FGF-19-encoding gene may also be obtained from a genomic library or by known synthetic procedures automated nucleic acid synthesis).
Libraries can be screened with probes (such as antibodies to the FGF-19 or oligonucleotides of at least about 20-80 bases) designed to identify the gene of interest or the protein encoded by it. Screening the cDNA or genomic library with the selected 62 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 probe may be conducted using standard procedures, such as described in Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual (New York: Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 1989). An alternative means to isolate the gene encoding FGF-19 is to use PCR methodology [Sambrook et al., supra; Dieffenbach et al., PCR Primer: A Laboratory Manual (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 1995)].
The Examples below describe techniques for screening a cDNA library. The oligonucleotide sequences selected as probes should be of sufficient length and sufficiently unambiguous that false positives are minimized. The oligonucleotide is preferably labeled such that it can be detected upon hybridization to DNA in the library being screened. Methods of labeling are well known in the art, and include the use of radiolabels like 3 2 P-labeled ATP, biotinylation or enzyme labeling. Hybridization conditions, including moderate stringency and high stringency, are provided in Sambrook et al., supra.
Sequences identified in such library screening methods can be compared and aligned to other known sequences deposited and available in public databases such as GenBank or other private sequence databases. Sequence identity (at either the amino acid or nucleotide level) within defined regions of the molecule or across the full-length sequence can be determined using methods known in the art and as described herein.
Nucleic acid having protein coding sequence may be obtained by screening selected cDNA or genomic libraries using the deduced amino acid sequence disclosed herein for the first time, and, if necessary, using conventional primer extension procedures as described in Sambrook et al., supra, to detect precursors and processing intermediates ofmRNA that may not have been reverse-transcribed into cDNA.
2. Selection and Transformation of Host Cells Host cells are transfected or transformed with expression or cloning vectors described herein for FGF-19 production and cultured in conventional nutrient media modified as appropriate for inducing promoters, selecting transformants, or amplifying the genes encoding the desired sequences. The culture conditions, such as media, temperature, pH and the like, can be selected by the skilled artisan without undue experimentation. In general, principles, protocols, and practical techniques for 63 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 maximizing the productivity of cell cultures can be found in Mammalian Cell Biotechnology: a Practical Approach, M. Butler, ed. (IRL Press, 1991) and Sambrook et al., supra.
Methods of eukaryotic cell transfection and prokaryotic cell transformation are known to the ordinarily skilled artisan, for example, CaCI 2 CaPO 4 liposome-mediated and electroporation. Depending on the host cell used, transformation is performed using standard techniques appropriate to such cells. The calcium treatment employing calcium chloride, as described in Sambrook et al., supra, or electroporation is generally used for prokaryotes. Infection with Agrobacterium tumefaciens is used for transformation of certain plant cells, as described by Shaw et al., Gene, 23:315 (1983) and WO 89/05859 published 29 June 1989. For mammalian cells without such cell walls, the calcium phosphate precipitation method of Graham and van der Eb, Virology, 52:456-457 (1978) can be employed. General aspects of mammalian cell host system transfections have been described in U.S. Patent No. 4,399,216. Transformations into yeast are typically carried out according to the method of Van Solingen et al., J. Bact. 130:946 (1977) and Hsiao et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (USA), 76:3829 (1979). However, other methods for introducing DNA into cells, such as by nuclear microinjection, electroporation, bacterial protoplast fusion with intact cells, orpolycations, polybrene, polyomithine, may also be used. For various techniques for transforming mammalian cells, see Keown et al., Methods in Enzvmology, 185:527-537 (1990) and Mansour et al., Nature, 336:348-352 (1988).
Suitable host cells for cloning or expressing the DNA in the vectors herein include prokaryote, yeast, or higher eukaryote cells. Suitable prokaryotes include but are not limited to eubacteria, such as Gram-negative or Gram-positive organisms, for example, Enterobacteriaceae such as E. coli. Various E. coli strains are publicly available, such as E. coli K 12 strain MM294 (ATCC 31,446); E. coli X 1776 (ATCC 31,537); E. coli strain W3110 (ATCC 27,325) and K5 772 (ATCC 53,635). Other suitable prokaryotic host cells include Enterobacteriaceae such as Escherichia, E. coli, Enterobacter, Erwinia, Klebsiella, Proteus, Salmonella, Salmonella typhimurium, Serralia, Serratia marcescans, and Shigella, as well as Bacilli such as B. subtilis and B. licheniformis B. licheniformis 41P disclosed in DD 266,710 published 12 April 1989), Pseudomonas 64 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 such as P. aeruginosa, and Streptomyces. These examples are illustrative rather than limiting. Strain W3110 is one particularly preferred host or parent host because it is a common host strain for recombinant DNA product fermentations. Preferably, the host cell secretes minimal amounts of proteolytic enzymes. For example, strain W3110 may be modified to effect a genetic mutation in the genes encoding proteins endogenous to the host, with examples of such hosts including E. coli W3110 strain 1A2, which has the complete genotype tonA E coli W3110 strain 9E4, which has the complete genotype tonA ptr3; E. coli W3110 strain 27C7 (ATCC 55,244), which has the complete genotype tonA ptr3 phoA E15 (argF-lac) 169 degP ompT kan'; E. coli W3 110 strain 37D6, which has the complete genotype tonA ptr3 phoA E15 (argF-lac)169 degP ompT rbs7 ilvG kan'; E. coli W3110 strain 40B4, which is strain 37D6 with a non-kanamycin resistant degP deletion mutation; and an E. coli strain having mutant pcriplasmic protease disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,946,783 issued 7 August 1990. Alternatively, in vitro methods of cloning, PCR or other nucleic acid polymerase reactions, are suitable.
In addition to prokaryotes, eukaryotic microbes such as filamentous fungi or yeast are suitable cloning or expression hosts for FGF-19-encoding vectors. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a commonly used lower eukaryotic host microorganism. Others include Schizosaccharomyces pombe (Beach and Nurse, Nature, 290: 140 [1981]; EP 139,383 published 2 May 1985); Kluyveromyces hosts Patent No. 4,943,529; Fleer et al., Bio/Technolovy, 9:968-975 (1991)) such as, K. lacis (MW98-8C, CBS683, CBS4574; Louvencourt et al., J. Bacteriol., 154(2):737-742 [1983]), K. fragilis (ATCC 12,424), K. bulgaricus (ATCC 16,045), K. wickeramii (ATCC 24,178), K waltii (ATCC 56,500), K. drosophilarum (ATCC 36,906; Van den Berg et al., Bio/Technology, 8:135 (1990)), K. thermotolerans, and K. marxianus; yarrowia (EP 402,226); Pichia pastoris (EP 183,070; Sreekrishna et al., J. Basic Microbiol., 28:265-278 [1988]); Candida; Trichoderma reesia (EP 244,234); Neurospora crassa (Case et al., Proc. Natl, Acad. Sci.
USA, 76:5259-5263 [1979]); Schwanniomyces such as Schwanniomyces occidentalis (EP 394,538 published 31 October 1990); and filamentous fungi such as, Neurospora, Penicillium, Tolypocladium (WO 91/00357 published 10 January 1991), and Aspergillus hosts such as A. nidulans (Ballance et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 112:284- 289 [1983]; Tilburn et al., Gene, 26:205-221 [1983]; Yelton et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.
SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 USA, 81: 1470-1474 [1984]) and A. niger (Kelly and Hynes, EMBO 4:475-479 [1985]). Methylotropic yeasts are suitable herein and include, but are not limited to, yeast capable of growth on methanol selected from the genera consisting of Hansenula, Candida, Kloeckera, Pichia, Saccharomyces, Torulopsis, and Rhodotorula. A list of specific species that are exemplary of this class of yeasts may be found in C. Anthony, The Biochemistry of Methylotrophs, 269 (1982).
Suitable host cells for the expression of glycosylated FGF-19 are derived from multicellular organisms. Examples of invertebrate cells include insect cells such as Drosophila S2 and Spodoptera Sf9, as well as plant cells. Examples of useful mammalian host cell lines include Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) and COS cells. More specific examples include monkey kidney CV 1 line transformed by SV40 (COS-7, ATCC CRL 1651); human embryonic kidney line (293 or 293 cells subcloned for growth in suspension culture, Graham et al., J. Gen Virol.. 36:59 (1977)); Chinese hamster ovary cells/-DHFR (CHO, Urlaub and Chasin, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 77:4216 (1980)); mouse sertoli cells (TM4, Mather, Biol. Reprod., 23:243-251 (1980)); human lung cells (W138, ATCC CCL 75); human liver cells (Hep G2, HB 8065); and mouse mammary tumor (MMT 060562, ATCC CCL51). The selection of the appropriate host cell is deemed to be within the skill in the art.
3. Selection and Use of a Replicable Vector The nucleic acid cDNA or genomic DNA) encoding FGF- 19 may be inserted into a replicable vector for cloning (amplification of the DNA) or for expression. Various vectors are publicly available. The vector may, for example, be in the form of a plasmid, cosmid, viral particle, or phage. The appropriate nucleic acid sequence may be inserted into the vector by a variety ofprocedures. In general, DNA is inserted into an appropriate restriction endonuclease site(s) using techniques known in the art. Vector components generally include, but are not limited to, one or more of a signal sequence, an origin of replication, one or more marker genes, an enhancer element, a promoter, and a transcription termination sequence. Construction of suitable vectors containing one or more of these components employs standard ligation techniques which are known to the skilled artisan.
66 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 The FGF-19 may be produced recombinantly not only directly, but also as a fusion polypeptide with a heterologous polypeptide, which may be a signal sequence or other polypeptide having a specific cleavage site at the N-terminus of the mature protein or polypeptide. In general, the signal sequence may be a component of the vector, or it may be a part of the FGF-19-encoding DNA that is inserted into the vector. The signal sequence may be a prokaryotic signal sequence selected, for example, from the group of the alkaline phosphatase, penicillinase, Ipp, or heat-stable enterotoxin II leaders. For yeast secretion the signal sequence may be, the yeast invertase leader, alpha factor leader (including Saccharomyces and Kluyveromyces a-factor leaders, the latter described in U.S. Patent No. 5,010,182), or acid phosphatase leader, the C. albicans glucoamylase leader (EP 362,179 published 4 April 1990), or the signal described in WO 90/13646 published 15 November 1990. In mammalian cell expression, mammalian signal sequences may be used to direct secretion of the protein, such as signal sequences from secreted polypeptides of the same or related species, as well as viral secretory leaders.
Both expression and cloning vectors contain a nucleic acid sequence that enables the vector to replicate in one or more selected host cells. Such sequences are well known for a variety of bacteria, yeast, and viruses. The origin of replication from the plasmid pBR322 is suitable for most Gram-negative bacteria, the 2g plasmid origin is suitable for yeast, and various viral origins (SV40, polyoma, adenovirus, VSV or BPV) are useful for cloning vectors in mammalian cells.
Expression and cloning vectors will typically contain a selection gene, also termed a selectable marker. Typical selection genes encode proteins that confer resistance to antibiotics or other toxins, ampicillin, neomycin, methotrexate, or tetracycline, (b) complement auxotrophic deficiencies, or supply critical nutrients not available from complex media, the gene encoding D-alanine racemase for Bacilli.
An example of suitable selectable markers for mammalian cells are those that enable the identification of cells competent to take up the FGF-19-encoding nucleic acid, such as DHFR or thymidine kinase. An appropriate host cell when wild-type DHFR is employed is the CHO cell line deficient in DHFR activity, prepared and propagated as described by Urlaub et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 77:4216 (1980). A suitable selection gene for use in yeast is the trpl gene present in the yeast plasmid YRp7 67 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 [Stinchcomb et al., Nature 282:39 (1979); Kingsman et al., Gene, 7:141 (1979); Tschemper et al., Gene, 10:157 (1980)]. The trpl gene provides a selection marker for a mutant strain of yeast lacking the ability to grow in tryptophan, for example, ATCC No.
44076 or PEP4-1 [Jones, Genetics, 85:12 (1977)].
Expression and cloning vectors usually contain a promoter operably linked to the FGF-19-encoding nucleic acid sequence to direct mRNA synthesis. Promoters recognized by a variety of potential host cells are well known. Promoters suitable for use with prokaryotic hosts include the p-lactamase and lactose promoter systems [Chang et al., Nature, 275:615 (1978); Goeddel et al., Nature 281:544 (1979)], alkaline phosphatase, a tryptophan (trp) promoter system [Goeddel, Nucleic Acids Res., 8:4057 (1980); EP 36,776], and hybrid promoters such as the tac promoter [deBoer et al., Proc. Natl. Acad.
Sci. USA, 80:21-25 (1983)]. Promoters for use in bacterial systems also will contain a Shine-Dalgamo sequence operably linked to the DNA encoding FGF-19.
Examples of suitable promoting sequences for use with yeast hosts include the promoters for 3-phosphoglycerate kinase [Hitzeman et al., J. Biol. Chem., 255:2073 (1980)] or other glycolytic enzymes [Hess et al., J. Adv. Enzyme Reg., 7:149 (1968); Holland, Biochemistry, 17:4900 (1978)], such as enolase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, hexokinase, pyruvate decarboxylase, phosphofructokinase, glucose-6phosphate isomerase, 3-phosphoglycerate mutase, pyruvate kinase, triosephosphate isomerase, phosphoglucose isomerase, and glucokinase.
Other yeast promoters, which are inducible promoters having the additional advantage of transcription controlled by growth conditions, are the promoter regions for alcohol dehydrogenase 2, isocytochrome C, acid phosphatase, degradative enzymes associated with nitrogen metabolism, metallothionein, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, and enzymes responsible for maltose and galactose utilization. Suitable vectors and promoters for use in yeast expression are further described in EP 73,657.
FGF-19 transcription from vectors in mammalian host cells is controlled, for example, by promoters obtained from the genomes of viruses such as polyoma virus, fowlpox virus (UK 2,21 1,504 published 5 July 1989), adenovirus (such as Adenovirus 2), bovine papilloma virus, avian sarcoma virus, cytomegalovirus, a retrovirus, hepatitis-B virus and Simian Virus 40 (SV40), from heterologous mammalian promoters, the 68 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 actin promoter or an immunoglobulin promoter, and from heat-shock promoters, provided such promoters are compatible with the host cell systems.
Transcription of a DNA encoding the FGF-19 by higher eukaryotes may be increased by inserting an enhancer sequence into the vector. Enhancers are cis-acting elements of DNA, usually about from 10 to 300 bp, that act on a promoter to increase its transcription. Many enhancer sequences are now known from mammalian genes (globin, elastase, albumin, a-fetoprotein, and insulin). Typically, however, one will use an enhancer from a eukaryotic cell virus. Examples include the SV40 enhancer on the late side of the replication origin (bp 100-270), the cytomegalovirus early promoter enhancer, the polyoma enhancer on the late side of the replication origin, and adenovirus enhancers.
The enhancer may be spliced into the vector at a position 5' or 3' to the FGF-19 coding sequence, but is preferably located at a site 5' from the promoter.
Expression vectors used in eukaryotic host cells (yeast, fungi, insect, plant, animal, human, or nucleated cells from other multicellular organisms) will also contain sequences necessary for the termination of transcription and for stabilizing the mRNA. Such sequences are commonly available from the 5' and, occasionally untranslated regions of eukaryotic or viral DNAs or cDNAs. These regions contain nuclcotide segments transcribed as polyadenylated fragments in the untranslated portion of the mRNA encoding FGF-19.
Still other methods, vectors, and host cells suitable for adaptation to the synthesis of FGF-19 in recombinant vertebrate cell culture are described in Gething et al., Nature, 293:620-625 (1981); Mantei et al., Nature, 281:40-46 (1979); EP 117,060; and EP 117,058.
4. Detecting Gene Amplification/Expression Gene amplification and/or expression may be measured in a sample directly, for example, by conventional Southern blotting, Northern blotting to quantitate the transcription of mRNA [Thomas, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 77:5201-5205 (1980)], dot blotting (DNA analysis), or in situ hybridization, using an appropriately labeled probe, based on the sequences provided herein. Alternatively, antibodies may be employed that can recognize specific duplexes, including DNA duplexes, RNA duplexes, and 69 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 DNA-RNA hybrid duplexes or DNA-protein duplexes. The antibodies in turn may be labeled and the assay may be carried out where the duplex is bound to a surface, so that upon the formation of duplex on the surface, the presence of antibody bound to the duplex can be detected.
Gene expression, alternatively, may be measured by immunological methods, such as immunohistochemical staining of cells or tissue sections and assay of cell culture or body fluids, to quantitate directly the expression of gene product. Antibodies useful for immunohistochemical staining and/or assay of sample fluids may be either monoclonal or polyclonal, and may be prepared in any mammal. Conveniently, the antibodies may be prepared against a native sequence FGF-19 polypeptide or against a synthetic peptide based on the DNA sequences provided herein or against exogenous sequence fused to FGF-19 DNA and encoding a specific antibody epitope.
Purification of Polypeptide Forms of FGF-19 may be recovered from culture medium or from host cell lysates. If membrane-bound, it can be released from the membrane using a suitable detergent solution Triton-X 100) or by enzymatic cleavage. Cells employed in expression of FGF-19 can be disrupted by various physical or chemical means, such as freeze-thaw cycling, sonication, mechanical disruption, or cell lysing agents.
It may be desired to purify FGF-19 from recombinant cell proteins or polypeptides. The following procedures are exemplary of suitable purification procedures: by fractionation on an ion-exchange column; ethanol precipitation; reverse phase HPLC; chromatography on silica or on a cation-exchange resin such as DEAE; chromatofocusing; SDS-PAGE; ammonium sulfate precipitation; gel filtration using, for example, Sephadex G-75; protein A Sepharose columns to remove contaminants such as IgG; and metal chelating columns to bind epitope-tagged forms of the FGF-19. Various methods of protein purification may be employed and such methods are known in the art and described for example in Deutscher, Methods in Enzvmologvy 182 (1990); Scopes, Protein Purification: Principles and Practice, Springer-Verlag, New York (1982). The purification step(s) selected will depend, for example, on the nature of the production process used and the particular FGF-19 produced.
SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 E. Uses for FGF-19 Nucleotide sequences (or their complement) encoding FGF-19 have various applications in the art of molecular biology, including uses as hybridization probes, in chromosome and gene mapping and in the generation of anti-sense RNA and DNA. FGF- 19 nucleic acid will also be useful for the preparation of FGF-19 polypeptides by the recombinant techniques described herein.
The full-length native sequence FGF-19 gene (SEQ ID NO: or portions thereof, may be used as hybridization probes for a cDNA library to isolate the full-length FGF-19 cDNA or to isolate still other cDNAs (for instance, those encoding naturally-occurring variants ofFGF-19 or FGF-19 from other species) which have a desired sequence identity to the FGF-19 sequence disclosed in Figure 1 (SEQ ID NO: Optionally, the length of the probes will be about 20 to about 50 bases. The hybridization probes may be derived from at least partially novel regions of the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 wherein those regions may be determined without undue experimentation or from genomic sequences including promoters, enhancer elements and introns of native sequence FGF- 19. By way of example, a screening method will comprise isolating the coding region of the FGF-19 gene using the known DNA sequence to synthesize a selected probe of about bases. Hybridization probes may be labeled by a variety of labels, including radionucleotides such as 32P or or enzymatic labels such as alkaline phosphatase coupled to the probe via avidin/biotin coupling systems. Labeled probes having a sequence complementary to that of the FGF- 19 gene of the present invention can be used to screen libraries of human cDNA, genomic DNA or mRNA to determine which members ofsuch libraries the probe hybridizes to. Hybridization techniques are described in further detail in the Examples below.
Any EST sequences disclosed in the present application may similarly be employed as probes, using the methods disclosed herein.
Other useful fragments of the FGF-19 nucleic acids include antisense or sense oligonucleotides comprising a singe-stranded nucleic acid sequence (either RNA or DNA) capable of binding to target FGF-19 mRNA (sense) or FGF-19 DNA (antisense) sequences. Antisense or sense oligonucleotides, according to the present invention, comprise a fragment of the coding region of FGF-19 DNA. Such a fragment generally 71 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 comprises at least about 14 nucleotides, preferably from about 14 to 30 nucleotides. The ability to derive an antisense or a sense oligonucleotide, based upon a cDNA sequence encoding a given protein is described in, for example, Stein and Cohen (Cancer Res.
48:2659, 1988) and van der Krol et al. (BioTechniques 6:958, 1988).
Binding of antisense or sense oligonucleotides to target nucleic acid sequences results in the formation of duplexes that block transcription or translation of the target sequence by one of several means, including enhanced degradation of the duplexes, premature termination of transcription or translation, or by other means. The antisense oligonucleotides thus may be used to block expression of FGF-19 proteins. Antisense or sense oligonucleotides further comprise oligonucleotides having modified sugarphosphodiester backbones (or other sugar linkages, such as those described in WO 91/06629) and wherein such sugar linkages are resistant to endogenous nucleases. Such oligonucleotides with resistant sugar linkages are stable in vivo capable of resisting enzymatic degradation) but retain sequence specificity to be able to bind to target nucleotide sequences.
Other examples of sense or antisense oligonucleotides include those oligonucleotides which are covalcntly linked to organic moieties, such as those described in WO 90/10048, and other moieties that increases affinity of the oligonucleotide for a target nucleic acid sequence, such as poly-(L-lysine). Further still, intercalating agents, such as ellipticine, and alkylating agents or metal complexes may be attached to sense or antisense oligonucleotides to modify binding specificities of the antisense or sense oligonucleotide for the target nucleotide sequence.
Antisense or sense oligonucleotides may be introduced into a cell containing the target nucleic acid sequence by any gene transfer method, including, for example, CaPO 4 mediated DNA transfection, electroporation, or by using gene transfer vectors such as Epstein-Barr virus. In a preferred procedure, an antisense or sense oligonucleotide is inserted into a suitable retroviral vector. A cell containing the target nucleic acid sequence is contacted with the recombinant retroviral vector, either in vivo or ex vivo.
Suitable retroviral vectors include, but are not limited to, those derived from the murine retrovirus M-MuLV, N2 (a retrovirus derived from M-MuLV), or the double copy vectors designated DCT5A, DCT5B and DCT5C (see WO 90/13641).
72 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 Sense or antisense oligonucleotides also may be introduced into a cell containing the target nucleotide sequence by formation of a conjugate with a ligand binding molecule, as described in WO 91/04753. Suitable ligand binding molecules include, but are not limited to, cell surface receptors, growth factors, other cytokines, or other ligands that bind to cell surface receptors. Preferably, conjugation of the ligand binding molecule does not substantially interfere with the ability of the ligand binding molecule to bind to its corresponding molecule or receptor, or block entry of the sense or antisense oligonucleotide or its conjugated version into the cell.
Alternatively, a sense or an antisense oligonucleotide may be introduced into a cell containing the target nucleic acid sequence by formation of an oligonucleotide-lipid complex, as described in WO 90/10448. The sense or antisense oligonucleotide-lipid complex is preferably dissociated within the cell by an endogenous lipase.
The probes may also be employed in PCR techniques to generate a pool of sequences for identification of closely related FGF-19 coding sequences.
Nucleotide sequences encoding a FGF-19 can also be used to construct hybridization probes for mapping the gene which encodes that FGF- 19 and for the genetic analysis of individuals with genetic disorders. The nucleotide sequences provided herein may be mapped to a chromosome and specific regions of a chromosome using known techniques, such as in situ hybridization, linkage analysis against known chromosomal markers, and hybridization screening with libraries.
When the coding sequences for FGF-19 encode a protein which binds to another protein (example, where the FGF-19 is a receptor), the FGF-19 can be used in assays to identify the other proteins or molecules involved in the binding interaction. By such methods, inhibitors of the receptor/ligand binding interaction can be identified. Proteins involved in such binding interactions can also be used to screen for peptide or small molecule inhibitors or agonists of the binding interaction. Also, the receptor FGF-19 can be used to isolate correlative ligand(s). Screening assays can be designed to find lead compounds that mimic the biological activity of a native FGF-19 or a receptor for FGF- 19. Such screening assays will include assays amenable to high-throughput screening of chemical libraries, making them particularly suitable for identifying small molecule drug candidates. Small molecules contemplated include synthetic organic or inorganic 73 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 compounds. The assays can be performed in a variety of formats, including proteinprotein binding assays, biochemical screening assays, immunoassays and cell based assays, which are well characterized in the art.
Nucleic acids which encode FGF-19 or its modified forms can also be used to generate either transgenic animals or "knock out" animals which, in turn, are useful in the development and screening oftherapeutically useful reagents. A transgenic animal a mouse or rat) is an animal having cells that contain a transgene, which transgene was introduced into the animal or an ancestor of the animal at a prenatal, an embryonic stage. A transgene is a DNA which is integrated into the genome of a cell from which a transgenic animal develops. In one embodiment, cDNA encoding FGF-19 can be used to clone genomic DNA encoding FGF-19 in accordance with established techniques and the genomic sequences used to generate transgenic animals that contain cells which express DNA encoding FGF- 19. Methods for generating transgenic animals, particularly animals such as mice or rats, have become conventional in the art and are described, for example, in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,736,866 and 4,870,009. Typically, particular cells would be targeted for FGF-19 transgene incorporation with tissue-specific enhancers.
Transgenic animals that include a copy of a transgene encoding FGF-19 introduced into the germ line of the animal at an embryonic stage can be used to examine the effect of increased expression of DNA encoding FGF-19. Such animals can be used as tester animals for reagents thought to confer protection from, for example, pathological conditions associated with its overexpression. In accordance with this facet of the invention, an animal is treated with the reagent and a reduced incidence of the pathological condition, compared to untreated animals bearing the transgene, would indicate a potential therapeutic intervention for the pathological condition.
Alternatively, non-human homologues ofFGF-19 can be used to construct a FGF- 19 "knock out" animal which has a defective or altered gene encoding FGF-19 as a result of homologous recombination between the endogenous gene encoding FGF-19 and altered genomic DNA encoding FGF-19 introduced into an embryonic stem cell of the animal. For example, cDNA encoding FGF-19 can be used to clone genomic DNA encoding FGF-19 in accordance with established techniques. A portion of the genomic DNA encoding FGF-19 can be deleted or replaced with another gene, such as a gene 74 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 encoding a selectable marker which can be used to monitor integration. Typically, several kilobases of unaltered flanking DNA (both at the 5' and 3' ends) are included in the vector [see Thomas and Capecchi, Cell. 51:503 (1987) for a description of homologous recombination vectors]. The vector is introduced into an embryonic stem cell line by electroporation) and cells in which the introduced DNA has homologously recombined with the endogenous DNA are selected [see Li et al., Cell, 69:915 (1992)]. The selected cells are then injected into a blastocyst of an animal a mouse or rat) to form aggregation chimeras [see Bradley, in Teratocarcinomas and Embryonic Stem Cells: A Practical Approach, E. J. Robertson, ed. (IRL, Oxford, 1987), pp. 113-152]. A chimeric embryo can then be implanted into a suitable pseudopregnant female foster animal and the embryo brought to term to create a "knock out" animal. Progeny harboring the homologously recombined DNA in their germ cells can be identified by standard techniques and used to breed animals in which all cells of the animal contain the homologously recombined DNA. Knockout animals can be characterized for instance, for their ability to defend against certain pathological conditions and for their development of pathological conditions due to absence of the FGF-19 polypeptide.
Nucleic acid encoding the FGF-19 polypeptides may also be used in gene therapy.
In gene therapy applications, genes are introduced into cells in order to achieve in vivo synthesis of a therapeutically effective genetic product, for example for replacement of a defective gene. "Gene therapy" includes both conventional gene therapy where a lasting effect is achieved by a single treatment, and the administration of gene therapeutic agents, which involves the one time or repeated administration ofa therapeutically effective DNA or mRNA. Antisense RNAs and DNAs can be used as therapeutic agents for blocking the expression of certain genes in vivo. It has already been shown that short antisense oligonucleotides can be imported into cells where they act as inhibitors, despite their low intracellular concentrations caused by their restricted uptake by the cell membrane.
(Zamecnik et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 83:4143-4146 [1986]). The oligonucleotides can be modified to enhance their uptake, e.g. by substituting their negatively charged phosphodiester groups by uncharged groups.
There are a variety of techniques available for introducing nucleic acids into viable cells. The techniques vary depending upon whether the nucleic acid is transferred into SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 cultured cells in vitro, or in vivo in the cells of the intended host. Techniques suitable for the transfer of nucleic acid into mammalian cells in vitro include the use of liposomes, electroporation, microinjection, cell fusion, DEAE-dextran, the calcium phosphate precipitation method, etc. The currently preferred in vivo gene transfer techniques include transfection with viral (typically retroviral) vectors and viral coat protein-liposome mediated transfection (Dzau et al., Trends in Biotechnology 11,205-210 [1993]). In some situations it is desirable to provide the nucleic acid source with an agent that targets the target cells, such as an antibody specific for a cell surface membrane protein or the target cell, a ligand for a receptor on the target cell, etc. Where liposomes are employed, proteins which bind to a cell surface membrane protein associated with endocytosis may be used for targeting and/or to facilitate uptake, e.g. capsid proteins or fragments thereof tropic for a particular cell type, antibodies for proteins which undergo internalization in cycling, proteins that target intracellular localization and enhance intracellular half-life.
The technique of receptor-mediated endocytosis is described, for example, by Wu et al., J. Biol. Chem. 262,4429-4432 (1987); and Wagner et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87, 3410-3414 (1990). For review of gene marking and gene therapy protocols see Anderson et al., Science 256, 808-813 (1992).
The FGF-19 polypeptides described herein may also be employed as molecular weight markers for protein electrophoresis purposes.
The nucleic acid molecules encoding the FGF-19 polypeptides or fragments thereof described herein are useful for chromosome identification. In this regard, there exists an ongoing need to identify new chromosome markers, since relatively few chromosome marking reagents, based upon actual sequence data are presently available.
Each FGF-19 nucleic acid molecule of the present invention can be used as a chromosome marker.
The FGF-19 polypeptides and nucleic acid molecules of the present invention may also be used for tissue typing, wherein the FGF-19 polypeptides of the present invention may be differentially expressed in one tissue as compared to another. FGF-19 nucleic acid molecules will find use for generating probes for PCR, Northern analysis, Southern analysis and Western analysis.
76 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/USOO/06471 The FGF-19 polypeptides and modulators thereof described herein may also be employed as therapeutic agents. The FGF- 19 polypeptides and modulators thereof of the present invention can be formulated according to known methods to prepare pharmaceutically useful compositions, whereby the FGF-19 product hereof is combined in admixture with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier vehicle. Therapeutic formulations are prepared for storage by mixing the active ingredient having the desired degree of purity with optional physiologically acceptable carriers, excipients or stabilizers (Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences 16th edition, Osol, A. Ed. (1980)), in the form of lyophilized formulations or aqueous solutions. Acceptable carriers, excipients or stabilizers are nontoxic to recipients at the dosages and concentrations employed, and include buffers such as phosphate, citrate and other organic acids; antioxidants including ascorbic acid; low molecular weight (less than about 10 residues) polypeptides; proteins, such as serum albumin, gelatin or immunoglobulins; hydrophilic polymers such as polyvinylpyrrolidone, amino acids such as glycine, glutamine, asparagine, arginine or lysine; monosaccharides, disaccharides and other carbohydrates including glucose, mannose, or dextrins; chelating agents such as EDTA; sugar alcohols such as mannitol or sorbitol; salt-forming counterions such as sodium; and/or nonionic surfactants such as
TWEEN
T
PLURONICS
T or PEG.
The formulations to be used for in vivo administration must be sterile. This is readily accomplished by filtration through sterile filtration membranes, prior to or following lyophilization and reconstitution.
Therapeutic compositions herein generally are placed into a container having a sterile access port, for example, an intravenous solution bag or vial having a stopper pierceable by a hypodermic injection needle.
The route of administration is in accord with known methods, e.g. injection or infusion by intravenous, intraperitoneal, intracerebral, intramuscular, intraocular, intraarterial or intralesional routes, topical administration, or by sustained release systems.
Dosages and desired drug concentrations of pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may vary depending on the particular use envisioned. The determination of the appropriate dosage or route of administration is well within the skill of an ordinary physician. Animal experiments provide reliable guidance for the 77 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 determination of effective doses for human therapy. Interspecies scaling of effective doses can be performed following the principles laid down by Mordenti, J. and Chappell, W. "The use of interspecies scaling in toxicokinetics" In Toxicokinetics and New Drug Development, Yacobi et al., Eds., Pergamon Press, New York 1989, pp. 42-96.
When in vivo administration of a FGF-19 polypeptide or agonist or antagonist thereof is employed, normal dosage amounts may vary from about 10 ng/kg to up to 100 mg/kg of mammal body weight or more per day, preferably about 1 pg/kg/day to mg/kg/day, depending upon the route of administration. Guidance as to particular dosages and methods of delivery is provided in the literature; see, for example, U.S. Pat.
Nos. 4,657,760; 5,206,344; or 5,225,212. It is anticipated that different formulations will be effective for different treatment compounds and different disorders, that administration targeting one organ or tissue, for example, may necessitate delivery in a manner different from that to another organ or tissue.
Where sustained-release administration of a FGF-19 polypeptide or modulator is desired in a formulation with release characteristics suitable for the treatment of any disease or disorder requiring administration of the FGF-19 polypeptide or modulator, microencapsulation is contemplated. Microencapsulation of recombinant proteins for sustained release has been successfully performed with human growth hormone (rhGH), interferon- (rhlFN-), interleukin-2, and MN rgpl20. Johnson et al., Nat. Med., 2:795-799 (1996); Yasuda, Biomed. Ther., 27:1221-1223 (1993); Hora et al., Bio/Technologv.

The sustained-release formulations of these proteins were developed using polylactic-coglycolic acid (PLGA) polymer due to its biocompatibility and wide range of biodegradable properties. The degradation products of PLGA, lactic and glycolic acids, can be cleared quickly within the human body. Moreover, the degradability of this polymer can be adjusted from months to years depending on its molecular weight and composition.

The therapeutic agents and compositions comprising FGF- 19 provided herein can be used in a number of applications. The applications include treating an individual with obesity or a condition associated with obesity. In one aspect, FGF- 19 is administered to an individual in need thereof in an amount effective to treat the condition. Preferably, the condition is one which requires at least one of the following to be treated: an increase in metabolism, a decrease in body weight, a decrease in body fat, a decrease in triglycerides, a decrease in free fatty acids, an increase in glucose release from adipocytes and/or an increase in leptin release from adipocytes. Each of these parameters can be measured by standard methods, for example, by measuring oxygen consumption to determine metabolic rate, using scales to determine weight, and measuring size to determine fat.
Moreover, the presence and amount of triglycerides, free fatty acids, glucose and leptin can be determined by standard methods. Each of these parameters is exemplified below in the specific examples.
FGF-19 and compositions comprising FGF-19 are preferably used in vivo.
However, as discussed below, administration can be in vitro such as in the methods described below for screening for modulators of FGF- 19. Although, it is understood that modulators of FGF-19 can also be identified by the use of animal models and samples from patients.
This invention encompasses methods of screening compounds to identify those that mimic or enhance the FGF-19 polypeptide (agonists) or prevent or inhibit the effect of the FGF-19 polypeptide (antagonists). Agonists and antagonists are referred to as modulators herein. Screening assays for antagonist drug candidates are designed to identify compounds that bind or complex with the FGF-19 polypeptides encoded by the genes identified herein, or otherwise interfere with the interaction of the encoded polypeptides with other cellular proteins. Such screening assays will include assays amenable to high-throughput screening of chemical libraries, making them particularly suitable for identifying small molecule drug candidates.
79 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 The assays can be performed in a variety of formats, including protein-protein binding assays, biochemical screening assays, immunoassays, and cell-based assays, which are well characterized in the art.
All assays for antagonists are common in that they call for contacting the drug candidate with a FGF-19 polypeptide encoded by a nucleic acid identified herein under conditions and for a time sufficient to allow these two components to interact.
In binding assays, the interaction is binding and the complex formed can be isolated or detected in the reaction mixture. In a particular embodiment, the FGF-19 polypeptide encoded by the gene identified herein or the drug candidate is immobilized on a solid phase, on a microtiter plate, by covalent or non-covalent attachments.
Non-covalent attachment generally is accomplished by coating the solid surface with a solution of the FGF-19 polypeptide and drying. Alternatively, an immobilized antibody, a monoclonal antibody, specific for the FGF-19 polypeptide to be immobilized can be used to anchor it to a solid surface. The assay is performed by adding the nonimmobilized component, which may be labeled by a detectable label, to the immobilized component, the coated surface containing the anchored component. When the reaction is complete, the non-reacted components are removed, by washing, and complexes anchored on the solid surface are detected. When the originally nonimmobilized component carries a detectable label, the detection of label immobilized on the surface indicates that complexing occurred. Where the originally non-immobilized component does not carry a label, complexing can be detected, for example, by using a labeled antibody specifically binding the immobilized complex.
If the candidate compound interacts with but does not bind to a particular FGF-19 polypeptide encoded by a gene identified herein, its interaction with that polypeptide can be assayed by methods well known for detecting protein-protein interactions. Such assays include traditional approaches, such as, cross-linking, co-immunoprecipitation, and co-purification through gradients or chromatographic columns. In addition, proteinprotein interactions can be monitored by using a yeast-based genetic system described by Fields and co-workers (Fields and Song, Nature (London), 340:245-246 (1989); Chien et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 88:9578-9582 (1991)) as disclosed by Chevray and Nathans, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 89: 5789-5793 (1991). Many transcriptional SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 activators, such as yeast GAL4, consist of two physically discrete modular domains, one acting as the DNA-binding domain, the other one functioning as the transcriptionactivation domain. The yeast expression system described in the foregoing publications (generally referred to as the "two-hybrid system") takes advantage of this property, and employs two hybrid proteins, one in which the target protein is fused to the DNA-binding domain of GAL4, and another, in which candidate activating proteins are fused to the activation domain. The expression of a GALI-lacZ reporter gene under control of a GAL4-activated promoter depends on reconstitution of GAL4 activity via protein-protein interaction. Colonies containing interacting polypeptides are detected with a chromogenic substrate for P-galactosidase. A complete kit (MATCHMAKER
T
for identifying protein-protein interactions between two specific proteins using the two-hybrid technique is commercially available from Clontech. This system can also be extended to map protein domains involved in specific protein interactions as well as to pinpoint amino acid residues that are crucial for these interactions.
Compounds that interfere with the interaction of a gene encoding a FGF-19 polypeptide identified herein and other intra- or extracellular components can be tested as follows: usually a reaction mixture is prepared containing the product of the gene and the intra- or extracellular component under conditions and for a time allowing for the interaction and binding of the two products. To test the ability of a candidate compound to inhibit binding, the reaction is run in the absence and in the presence of the test compound. In addition, a placebo may be added to a third reaction mixture, to serve as positive control. The binding (complex formation) between the test compound and the intra- or extracellular component present in the mixture is monitored as described hereinabove. The formation of a complex in the control reaction(s) but not in the reaction mixture containing the test compound indicates that the test compound interferes with the interaction of the test compound and its reaction partner.
To assay for antagonists, the FGF-19 polypeptide may be added to a cell along with the compound to be screened for a particular activity and the ability of the compound to inhibit the activity of interest in the presence of the FGF-19 polypeptide indicates that the compound is an antagonist to the FGF-19 polypeptide. Alternatively, antagonists may be detected by combining the FGF-19 polypeptide and a potential antagonist with 81 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 membrane-bound FGF-19 polypeptide receptors or recombinant receptors under appropriate conditions for a competitive inhibition assay. The FGF-19 polypeptide can be labeled, such as by radioactivity, such that the number of FGF-19 polypeptide molecules bound to the receptor can be used to determine the effectiveness of the potential antagonist. The gene encoding the receptor can be identified by numerous methods known to those of skill in the art, for example, ligand panning and FACS sorting.
Coligan et al., Current Protocols in Immun., Chapter 5 (1991). Preferably, expression cloning is employed wherein polyadenylated RNA is prepared from a cell responsive to the FGF-19 polypeptide and a cDNA library created from this RNA is divided into pools and used to transfect COS cells or other cells that are not responsive to the FGF-19 polypeptide. Transfected cells that are grown on glass slides are exposed to labeled FGF-19 polypeptide. The FGF-19 polypeptide can be labeled by a variety of means including iodination or inclusion of a recognition site for a site-specific protein kinase. Following fixation and incubation, the slides are subjected to autoradiographic analysis. Positive pools are identified and sub-pools are prepared and re-transfected using an interactive sub-pooling and re-screening process, eventually yielding a single clone that encodes the putative receptor.
As an alternative approach for receptor identification, labeled FGF-19 polypeptide can be photoaffinity-linked with cell membrane or extract preparations that express the receptor molecule. Cross-linked material is resolved by PAGE and exposed to X-ray film.
The labeled complex containing the receptor can be excised, resolved into peptide fragments, and subjected to protein micro-sequencing. The amino acid sequence obtained from micro- sequencing would be used to design a set of degenerate oligonucleotide probes to screen a cDNA library to identify the gene encoding the putative receptor.
In another assay for antagonists, mammalian cells or a membrane preparation expressing the receptor would be incubated with labeled FGF-19 polypeptide in the presence of the candidate compound. The ability of the compound to enhance or block this interaction could then be measured.
More specific examples of potential antagonists include an oligonucleotide that binds to the fusions of immunoglobulin with FGF-19 polypeptide, and, in particular, antibodies including, without limitation, poly- and monoclonal antibodies and antibody 82 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 fragments, single-chain antibodies, anti-idiotypic antibodies, and chimeric or humanized versions of such antibodies or fragments, as well as human antibodies and antibody fragments. Alternatively, a potential antagonist may be a closely related protein, for example, a mutated form of the FGF-19 polypeptide that recognizes the receptor but imparts no effect, thereby competitively inhibiting the action of the FGF-19 polypeptide.
In one embodiment herein where competitive binding assays are performed, FGF receptor 4 or an antibody to FGF-19 is used as a competitor.
Another potential FGF-19 polypeptide antagonist is an antisense RNA or DNA construct prepared using antisense technology, where, an antisense RNA or DNA molecule acts to block directly the translation ofmRNA by hybridizing to targeted mRNA and preventing protein translation. Antisense technology can be used to control gene expression through triple-helix formation or antisense DNA or RNA, both of which methods are based on binding of a polynucleotide to DNA or RNA. For example, the coding portion of the polynucleotide sequence, which encodes the mature FGF-19 polypeptides herein, is used to design an antisense RNA oligonucleotide of from about 10 to 40 base pairs in length. A DNA oligonucleotide is designed to be complementary to a region of the gene involved in transcription (triple helix see Lee et al., Nucl. Acids Res. 6:3073 (1979); Cooney et al., Science, 241: 456 (1988); Dervan et al., Science 251:1360 (1991)), thereby preventing transcription and the production of the FGF-19 polypeptide. The antisense RNA oligonucleotide hybridizes to the mRNA in vivo and blocks translation of the mRNA molecule into the FGF-19 polypeptide (antisense Okano, Neurochem., 56:560 (1991); Olinodeoxynucleotides as Antisense Inhibitors of Gene Expression (CRC Press: Boca Raton, FL, 1988). The oligonucleotides described above can also be delivered to cells such that the antisense RNA or DNA may be expressed in vivo to inhibit production of the FGF-19 polypeptide. When antisense DNA is used, oligodeoxyribonucleotides derived from the translation-initiation site, e.g., between about -10 and +10 positions of the target gene nucleotide sequence, are preferred.
Potential antagonists include small molecules that bind to the active site, the receptor binding site, or growth factor or other relevant binding site of the FGF-19 polypeptide, thereby blocking the normal biological activity of the FGF-19 polypeptide.
Examples of small molecules include, but are not limited to, small peptides orpeptide-like 83 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 molecules, preferably soluble peptides, and synthetic non-peptidyl organic or inorganic compounds.
Ribozymes are enzymatic RNA molecules capable of catalyzing the specific cleavage of RNA. Ribozymes act by sequence-specific hybridization to the complementary target RNA, followed by endonucleolytic cleavage. Specific ribozyme cleavage sites within a potential RNA target can be identified by known techniques. For further details see, Rossi, Current Biology, 4:469-471 (1994), and PCT publication No. WO 97/33551 (published September 18, 1997).
Nucleic acid molecules in triple-helix formation used to inhibit transcription should be single-stranded and composed ofdeoxynucleotides. The base composition of these oligonucleotides is designed such that it promotes triple-helix formation via Hoogsteen base-pairing rules, which generally require sizeable stretches of purines or pyrimidines on one strand of a duplex. For further details see, PCT publication No.
WO 97/33551, supra.
These small molecules can be identified by any one or more of the screening assays discussed hereinabove and/or by any other screening techniques well known for those skilled in the art.
It is appreciated that all the assays provided herein can be used to screen a wide variety of candidate bioactive agents. The term "candidate bioactive agent", "candidate agent" or "drug candidate" or grammatical equivalents as used herein describes any molecule, protein, oligopeptide, small organic molecule, polysaccharide, polynucleotide, purinc analog, etc., to be tested for bioactive agents that are capable of directly or indirectly altering either the cellular activity phenotype or the expression of a FGF-19 sequence, including both nucleic acid sequences and protein sequences.
Candidate agents can encompass numerous chemical classes, though typically they are organic molecules, preferably small organic compounds having a molecular weight of more than 100 and less than about 2,500 daltons Small molecules are further defined herein as having a molecular weight of between 50 d and 2000 d. In another embodiment, small molecules have a molecular weight of less than 1500, or less than 1200, or less than 1000, or less than 750, or less than 500 d. In one embodiment, a small molecule as used herein has a molecular weight of about 100 to 200 d. Candidate agents 84 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 comprise functional groups necessary for structural interaction with proteins, particularly hydrogen bonding, and typically include at least an amine, carbonyl, hydroxyl or carboxyl group, preferably at least two of the functional chemical groups. The candidate agents often comprise cyclical carbon or heterocyclic structures and/or aromatic or polyaromatic structures substituted with one or more of the above functional groups. Candidate agents are also found among biomolecules including peptides, saccharides, fatty acids, steroids, purines, pyrimidines, derivatives, structural analogs or combinations thereof. Particularly preferred are peptides.
Candidate agents are obtained from a wide variety of sources including libraries of synthetic or natural compounds. For example, numerous means are available for random and directed synthesis of a wide variety of organic compounds and biomolecules, including expression of randomized oligonucleotides. Alternatively, libraries of natural compounds in the form of bacterial, fungal, plant and animal extracts are available or readily produced. Additionally, natural or synthetically produced libraries and compounds are readily modified through conventional chemical, physical and biochemical means. Known pharmacological agents may be subjected to directed or random chemical modifications, such as acylation, alkylation, esterification, amidification to produce structural analogs.
In a preferred embodiment, the candidate bioactive agents are proteins. By "protein" herein is meant at least two covalently attached amino acids, which includes proteins, polypeptides, oligopeptides and peptides. The protein may be made up of naturally occurring amino acids and peptide bonds, or synthetic peptidomimetic structures. Thus "amino acid", or "peptide residue", as used herein means both naturally occurring and synthetic amino acids. For example, homo-phenylalanine, citrulline and noreleucine are considered amino acids for the purposes of the invention. "Amino acid" also includes imino acid residues such as proline and hydroxyproline. The side chains may be in either the or the configuration. In the preferred embodiment, the amino acids are in the or L-configuration. If non-naturally occurring side chains are used, non-amino acid substituents may be used, for example to prevent or retard in vivo degradations.
SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 In a preferred embodiment, the candidate bioactive agents are naturally occurring proteins or fragments of naturally occurring proteins. Thus, for example, cellular extracts containing proteins, or random or directed digests of proteinaceous cellular extracts, may be used. In this way libraries of procaryotic and eucaryotic proteins may be made for screening in the methods of the invention. Particularly preferred in this embodiment are libraries of bacterial, fungal, viral, and mammalian proteins, with the latter being preferred, and human proteins being especially preferred.
In a preferred embodiment, the candidate bioactive agents are peptides of from about 5 to about 30 amino acids, with from about 5 to about 20 amino acids being preferred, and from about 7 to about 15 being particularly preferred. The peptides may be digests of naturally occurring proteins as is outlined above, random peptides, or "biased" random peptides. By "randomized" or grammatical equivalents herein is meant that each nucleic acid and peptide consists of essentially random nucleotides and amino acids, respectively. Since generally these random peptides (or nucleic acids, discussed below) are chemically synthesized, they may incorporate any nucleotide or amino acid at any position. The synthetic process can be designed to generate randomized proteins or nucleic acids, to allow the formation of all or most of the possible combinations over the length of the sequence, thus forming a library of randomized candidate bioactive proteinaceous agents.
In one embodiment, the library is fully randomized, with no sequence preferences or constants at any position. In a preferred embodiment, the library is biased. That is, some positions within the sequence are either held constant, or are selected from a limited number of possibilities. For example, in a preferred embodiment, the nucleotides or amino acid residues are randomized within a defined class, for example, of hydrophobic amino acids, hydrophilic residues, sterically biased (either small or large) residues, towards the creation of nucleic acid binding domains, the creation ofcysteines, for crosslinking, prolines for SH-3 domains, serines, threonines, tyrosines or histidines for phosphorylation sites, etc., or to purines, etc.
In a preferred embodiment, the candidate bioactive agents are nucleic acids. By "nucleic acid" or "oligonucleotide" or grammatical equivalents herein means at least two nucleotides covalently linked together. A nucleic acid of the present invention will 86 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 generally contain phosphodiester bonds, although in some cases, as outlined below, nucleic acid analogs are included that may have alternate backbones, comprising, for example, phosphoramide (Beaucage et al., Tetrahedron 49(10):1925 (1993) and references therein; Letsinger, J. Org. Chem. 35:3800(1970); Sprinzl et al., Eur. J. Biochem. 81:579 (1977); Letsinger et al., Nucl. Acids Res. 14:3487 (1986); Sawai et al, Chem. Lett. 805 (1984), Letsinger et al., J. Am. Chem.

Soc. 111:2321 (1989), O-methylphophoroamidite linkages (see Eckstein, Oligonucleotides and Analogues: A Practical Approach, Oxford University Press), and peptide nucleic acid backbones and linkages (see Egholm, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 114:1895 (1992); Meier et al., Chem. Int. Ed. Engl. 31:1008 (1992); Nielsen, Nature, 365:566 (1993); Carlsson et al., Nature 380:207 (1996), all of which are incorporated by reference). Other analog nucleic acids include those with positive backbones (Denpcy et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 92:6097 (1995); non-ionic backbones Patent Nos.

Biomolecular NMR 34:17 (1994); Tetrahedron Lett. 37:743 (1996)) and non-ribose backbones, including those described in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,235,033 and 5,034,506, and Chapters 6 and 7, ASC Symposium Series 580, "Carbohydrate Modifications in Antisense Research", Ed. Y.S. Sanghui and P. Dan Cook. Nucleic acids containing one or more carbocyclic sugars are also included within the definition of nucleic acids (see Jenkins et al., Chem. Soc. Rev. (1995) ppl69-1 7 Several nucleic acid analogs are described in Rawls, C E News June 2, 1997 page 35. All of these references are hereby expressly incorporated by reference. These modifications of the ribose-phosphate backbone may be done to facilitate the addition of additional moieties such as labels, or to increase the stability and half-life of such molecules in physiological environments. In addition, mixtures of naturally occurring nucleic acids and analogs can 87 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 be made. Alternatively, mixtures of different nucleic acid analogs, and mixtures of naturally occurring nucleic acids and analogs may be made. The nucleic acids may be single stranded or double stranded, as specified, or contain portions of both double stranded or single stranded sequence. The nucleic acid may be DNA, both genomic and cDNA, RNA or a hybrid, where the nucleic acid contains any combination ofdeoxyriboand ribo-nucleotides, and any combination of bases, including uracil, adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine, inosine, xathanine hypoxathanine, isocytosine, isoguanine, etc.
As described above generally for proteins, nucleic acid candidate bioactive agents may be naturally occurring nucleic acids, random nucleic acids, or "biased" random nucleic acids. For example, digests ofprokaryotic or cukaryotic genomes may be used as is outlined above for proteins.
In a preferred embodiment, the candidate bioactive agents are organic chemical moieties, a wide variety of which are available in the literature.
In a preferred embodiment, as outlined above, screens may be done on individual genes and gene products (proteins). In a preferred embodiment, the gene or protein has been identified as described below in the Examples as a differentially expressed gene associated with particular tissues and thus conditions related to those tissues. Thus, in one embodiment, screens are designed to first find candidate agents that can bind to FGF-19, and then these agents may be used in assays that evaluate the ability of the candidate agent to modulate FGF-19 activity. Thus, as will be appreciated by those in the art, there are a number of different assays which may be run.
Screening for agents that modulate the activity of FGF-19 may also be done. In a preferred embodiment, methods for screening for a bioactive agent capable of modulating the activity of FGF-19 comprise the steps of adding a candidate bioactive agent to a sample of FGF-19 and determining an alteration in the biological activity of FGF-19: "Modulating the activity of FGF-19" includes an increase in activity, a decrease in activity, or a change in the type or kind of activity present. Thus, in this embodiment, the candidate agent should both bind to FGF-19 (although this may not be necessary), and alter its biological or biochemical activity as defined herein. The methods include both in vitro screening methods, as are generally outlined above, and in vivo screening of cells for alterations in the presence, expression, distribution, activity or amount of FGF-19.
88 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 Thus, in this embodiment, the methods comprise combining a sample and a candidate bioactive agent, and evaluating the effect on FGF-19 activity. By "FGF-19 protein activity" or grammatical equivalents herein is meant at least one of the FGF-19 protein's biological activities as described above.
In a preferred embodiment, the activity of the FGF-19 protein is increased; in another preferred embodiment, the activity of the FGF-19 protein is decreased. Thus, bioactive agents that are antagonists are preferred in some embodiments, and bioactive agents that are agonists may be preferred in other embodiments.
In one aspect of the invention, cells containing FGF- 19 sequences are used in drug screening assays by evaluating the effect of drug candidates on FGF- 19. Cell type include normal cells, tumor cells, and adipocytes.
Methods of assessing FGF-19 activity such as changes in glucose uptake, leptin release, metabolism, triglyceride and free fatty acid levels, body weight and body fat, are known in the art and are exemplified below in the examples.
In a preferred embodiment, the methods comprise adding a candidate bioactive agent, as defined above, to a cell comprising FGF-19. Preferred cell types include almost any cell. The cells contain a nucleic acid, preferably recombinant, that encodes a FGF-19 protein. In a preferred embodiment, a library of candidate agents are tested on a plurality of cells.
In one aspect, the assays are evaluated in the presence or absence or previous or subsequent exposure to physiological signals, for example hormones, antibodies, peptides, antigens, cytokines, growth factors, action potentials, pharmacological agents including chemotherapeutics, radiation, carcinogenics, or other cells cell-cell contacts). In another example, the determinations are determined at different stages of the cell cycle process.
The FGF-19 sequences provided herein can also be used in methods of diagnosis.
Overexpression of FGF-19 may indicate an abnormally high metabolic rate and underexpression may indicate a propensity for obesity. Moreover, a sample from a patient may be analyzed for mutated or disfunctional FGF-19. Generally, such methods include comparing a sample from a patient and comparing FGF-19 expression to that of a control.
89 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 F. Anti-FGF-19 Antibodies The present invention further provides anti-FGF-19 antibodies. Exemplary antibodies include polyclonal, monoclonal, humanized, bispecific, and heteroconjugate antibodies.
1. Polyclonal Antibodies The anti-FGF-19 antibodies may comprise polyclonal antibodies. Methods of preparing polyclonal antibodies are known to the skilled artisan. Polyclonal antibodies can be raised in a mammal, for example, by one or more injections of an immunizing agent and, if desired, an adjuvant. Typically, the immunizing agent and/or adjuvant will be injected in the mammal by multiple subcutaneous or intraperitoneal injections. The immunizing agent may include the FGF-19 polypeptide or a fusion protein thereof. It may be useful to conjugate the immunizing agent to a protein known to be immunogenic in the mammal being immunized. Examples of such immunogenic proteins include but are not limited to keyhole limpet hemocyanin, serum albumin, bovine thyroglobulin, and soybean trypsin inhibitor. Examples of adjuvants which may be employed include Freund's complete adjuvant and MPL-TDM adjuvant (monophosphoryl Lipid A, synthetic trehalose dicorynomycolate). The immunization protocol may be selected by one skilled in the art without undue experimentation.
2. Monoclonal Antibodies The anti-FGF-19 antibodies may, alternatively, be monoclonal antibodies.
Monoclonal antibodies may be prepared using hybridoma methods, such as those described by Kohler and Milstein, Nature, 256:495 (1975). In a hybridoma method, a mouse, hamster, or other appropriate host animal, is typically immunized with an immunizing agent to elicit lymphocytes that produce or are capable of producing antibodies that will specifically bind to the immunizing agent. Alternatively, the lymphocytes may be immunized in vitro.
The immunizing agent will typically include the FGF-19 polypeptide or a fusion protein thereof. Generally, either peripheral blood lymphocytes ("PBLs") are used if cells of human origin are desired, or spleen cells or lymph node cells are used if non-human SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 mammalian sources are desired. The lymphocytes are then fused with an immortalized cell line using a suitable fusing agent, such as polyethylene glycol, to form a hybridoma cell [Goding, Monoclonal Antibodies: Principles and Practice, Academic Press, (1986) pp. 59-103]. Immortalized cell lines are usually transformed mammalian cells, particularly myeloma cells of rodent, bovine and human origin. Usually, rat or mouse myeloma cell lines are employed. The hybridoma cells may be cultured in a suitable culture medium that preferably contains one or more substances that inhibit the growth or survival of the unfused, immortalized cells. For example, if the parental cells lack the enzyme hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (HGPRT or HPRT), the culture medium for the hybridomas typically will include hypoxanthine, aminopterin, and thymidine ("HAT medium"), which substances prevent the growth of HGPRT-deficient cells.
Preferred immortalized cell lines are those that fuse efficiently, support stable high level expression of antibody by the selected antibody-producing cells, and are sensitive to a medium such as HAT medium. More preferred immortalized cell lines are murine myeloma lines, which can be obtained, for instance, from the Salk Institute Cell Distribution Center, San Diego, California and the American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, Virginia. Human myeloma and mouse-human heteromyeloma cell lines also have been described for the production of human monoclonal antibodies [Kozbor, J.
Immunol., 133:3001 (1984); Brodeuret al., Monoclonal Antibody Production Techniques and Applications, Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York, (1987) pp. 51-63].
The culture medium in which the hybridoma cells are cultured can then be assayed for the presence of monoclonal antibodies directed against FGF-19. Preferably, the binding specificity of monoclonal antibodies produced by the hybridoma cells is determined by immunoprecipitation or by an in vitro binding assay, such as radioimmunoassay (RIA) or enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA). Such techniques and assays are known in the art. The binding affinity of the monoclonal antibody can, for example, be determined by the Scatchard analysis of Munson and Pollard, Anal. Biochem., 107:220 (1980).
After the desired hybridoma cells are identified, the clones may be subcloned by limiting dilution procedures and grown by standard methods [Goding, supra]. Suitable 91 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 culture media for this purpose include, for example, Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium and RPMI-1640 medium. Alternatively, the hybridoma cells may be grown in vivo as ascites in a mammal.
The monoclonal antibodies secreted by the subclones may be isolated or purified from the culture medium or ascites fluid by conventional immunoglobulin purification procedures such as, for example, protein A-Sepharose, hydroxylapatite chromatography, gel electrophoresis, dialysis, or affinity chromatography.
The monoclonal antibodies may also be made by recombinant DNA methods, such as those described in U.S. Patent No. 4,816,567. DNA encoding the monoclonal antibodies of the invention can be readily isolated and sequenced using conventional procedures by using oligonucleotide probes that are capable of binding specifically to genes encoding the heavy and light chains ofmurine antibodies). The hybridoma cells of the invention serve as a preferred source of such DNA. Once isolated, the DNA may be placed into expression vectors, which are then transfectcd into host cells such as simian COS cells, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, or myeloma cells that do not otherwise produce immunoglobulin protein, to obtain the synthesis ofmonoclonal antibodies in the recombinant host cells. The DNA also may be modified, for example, by substituting the coding sequence for human heavy and light chain constant domains in place of the homologous murine sequences Patent No. 4,816,567; Morrison et al., supraj or by covalently joining to the immunoglobulin coding sequence all or part of the coding sequence for a non-immunoglobulin polypeptide. Such a non-immunoglobulin polypeptide can be substituted for the constant domains of an antibody of the invention, or can be substituted for the variable domains of one antigen-combining site of an antibody of the invention to create a chimeric bivalent antibody.
The antibodies may be monovalent antibodies. Methods for preparing monovalent antibodies are well known in the art. For example, one method involves recombinant expression of immunoglobulin light chain and modified heavy chain. The heavy chain is truncated generally at any point in the Fc region so as to prevent heavy chain crosslinking. Alternatively, the relevant cysteine residues are substituted with another amino acid residue or are deleted so as to prevent crosslinking.
92 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 In vitro methods are also suitable for preparing monovalent antibodies. Digestion of antibodies to produce fragments thereof, particularly, Fab fragments, can be accomplished using routine techniques known in the art.
3. Human and Humanized Antibodies The anti-FGF-19 antibodies of the invention may further comprise humanized antibodies or human antibodies. Humanized forms of non-human murine) antibodies are chimeric immunoglobulins, immunoglobulin chains or fragments thereof (such as Fv, Fab, Fab', F(ab') 2 or other antigen-binding subsequences of antibodies) which contain minimal sequence derived from non-human immunoglobulin. Humanized antibodies include human immunoglobulins (recipient antibody) in which residues from a complementary determining region (CDR) ofthe recipient are replaced by residues from a CDR of a non-human species (donor antibody) such as mouse, rat or rabbit having the desired specificity, affinity and capacity. In some instances, Fv framework residues of the human immunoglobulin are replaced by corresponding non-human residues.
Humanized antibodies may also comprise residues which are found neither in the recipient antibody nor in the imported CDR or framework sequences. In general, the humanized antibody will comprise substantially all of at least one, and typically two, variable domains, in which all or substantially all of the CDR regions correspond to those of a non-human immunoglobulin and all or substantially all of the FR regions are those of a human immunoglobulin consensus sequence. The humanized antibody optimally also will comprise at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant region typically that of a human immunoglobulin [Jones et al., Nature, 321:522-525 (1986); Riechmann et al., Nature, 332:323-329(1988); and Presta, Curr. Op. Struct. Biol., 2:593-596 (1992)].
Methods for humanizing non-human antibodies are well known in the art.
Generally, a humanized antibody has one or more amino acid residues introduced into it from a source which is non-human. These non-human amino acid residues are often referred to as "import" residues, which are typically taken from an "import" variable domain. Humanization can be essentially performed following the method of Winter and co-workers [Jones et al., Nature, 321:522-525 (1986); Riechmann et al., Nature, 332:323- 327 (1988); Verhoeyen et al., Science 239:1534-1536 (1988)], by substituting rodent 93 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 CDRs or CDR sequences for the corresponding sequences of a human antibody.
Accordingly, such "humanized" antibodies are chimeric antibodies Patent No.
4,816,567), wherein substantially less than an intact human variable domain has been substituted by the corresponding sequence from a non-human species. In practice, humanized antibodies are typically human antibodies in which some CDR residues and possibly some FR residues are substituted by residues from analogous sites in rodent antibodies.
Human antibodies can also be produced using various techniques known in the art, including phage display libraries [Hoogenboom and Winter, J. Mol. Biol., 227:381 (1991); Marks et al., J. Mol. Biol., 222:581 (1991)]. The techniques of Cole et al. and Boerer et al. are also available for the preparation of human monoclonal antibodies (Cole et al., Monoclonal Antibodies and Cancer Therapy, Alan R. Liss, p. 77 (1985) and Boerner et al., J. Immunol., 147(1):86-95 (1991)]. Similarly, human antibodies can be made by introducing of human immunoglobulin loci into transgenic animals, mice in which the endogenous immunoglobulin genes have been partially or completely inactivated. Upon challenge, human antibody production is observed, which closely resembles that seen in humans in all respects, including gene rearrangement, assembly, and antibody repertoire. This approach is described, for example, in U.S. Patent Nos.
5,545,807; 5,545,806; 5,569,825; 5,625,126; 5,633,425; 5,661,016, and in the following scientific publications: Marks et al., Bio/Technology 10, 779-783 (1992); Lonberg et al., Nature 368 856-859 (1994); Morrison, Nature 368, 812-13 (1994); Fishwild et al., Nature Biotechnology 14, 845-51 (1996); Neuberger, Nature Biotechnology 14, 826 (1996); Lonberg and Huszar, Intern. Rev. Immunol. 13 65-93 (1995).
4. Bispecific Antibodies Bispecific antibodies are monoclonal, preferably human or humanized, antibodies that have binding specificities for at least two different antigens. In the present case, one of the binding specificities is for the FGF-19, the other one is for any other antigen, and preferably for a cell-surface protein or receptor or receptor subunit.
Methods for making bispecific antibodies are known in the art. Traditionally, the recombinant production of bispecific antibodies is based on the co-expression of two 94 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 immunoglobulin heavy-chain/light-chain pairs, where the two heavy chains have different specificities [Milstein and Cuello, Nature, 305:537-539 (1983)]. Because of the random assortment of immunoglobulin heavy and light chains, these hybridomas (quadromas) produce a potential mixture of ten different antibody molecules, of which only one has the correct bispecific structure. The purification of the correct molecule is usually accomplished by affinity chromatography steps. Similar procedures are disclosed in WO 93/08829, published 13 May 1993, and in Traunecker et al., EMBO 10:3655-3659 (1991).
Antibody variable domains with the desired binding specificities (antibody-antigen combining sites) can be fused to immunoglobulin constant domain sequences. The fusion preferably is with an immunoglobulin heavy-chain constant domain, comprising at least part of the hinge, CH2, and CH3 regions. It is preferred to have the first heavy-chain constant region (CHI) containing the site necessary for light-chain binding present in at least one of the fusions. DNAs encoding the immunoglobulin heavy-chain fusions and, if desired, the immunoglobulin light chain, are inserted into separate expression vectors, and are co-transfected into a suitable host organism. For further details of generating bispecific antibodies see, for example, Suresh et al., Methods in Enzvmology, 121:210 (1986).
According to another approach described in WO 96/27011, the interface between a pair of antibody molecules can be engineered to maximize the percentage of heterodimers which are recovered from recombinant cell culture. The preferred interface comprises at least a part of the CH3 region of an antibody constant domain. In this method, one or more small amino acid side chains from the interface of the first antibody molecule are replaced with larger side chains tyrosine or tryptophan). Compensatory "cavities" of identical or similar size to the large side chain(s) are created on the interface of the second antibody molecule by replacing large amino acid side chains with smaller ones alanine or threonine). This provides a mechanism for increasing the yield of the heterodimer over other unwanted end-products such as homodimers.
Bispecific antibodies can be prepared as full length antibodies or antibody fragments F(ab') 2 bispecific antibodies). Techniques for generating bispecific antibodies from antibody fragments have been described in the literature. For example, SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 bispecific antibodies can be prepared can be prepared using chemical linkage. Brennan el al., Science 229:81 (1985) describe a procedure wherein intact antibodies are proteolytically cleaved to generate F(ab') 2 fragments. These fragments are reduced in the presence of the dithiol complexing agent sodium arsenite to stabilize vicinal dithiols and prevent intermolecular disulfide formation. The Fab' fragments generated are then converted to thionitrobenzoate (TNB) derivatives. One of the Fab'-TNB derivatives is then reconverted to the Fab'-thiol by reduction with mercaptoethylamine and is mixed with an equimolar amount of the other Fab'-TNB derivative to form the bispecific antibody. The bispecific antibodies produced can be used as agents for the selective immobilization of enzymes.
Fab' fragments may be directly recovered from E. coli and chemically coupled to form bispecific antibodies. Shalaby et al., J. Exp. Med. 175:217-225 (1992) describe the production of a fully humanized bispecific antibody F(ab') 2 molecule. Each Fab' fragment was separately secreted from E. coli and subjected to directed chemical coupling in vitro to form the bispecific antibody. The bispecific antibody thus formed was able to bind to cells overexpressing the ErbB2 receptor and normal human T cells, as well as trigger the lytic activity of human cytotoxic lymphocytes against human breast tumor targets.
Various technique for making and isolating bispecific antibody fragments directly from recombinant cell culture have also been described. For example, bispecific antibodies have been produced using leucine zippers. Kostelny et al., J. Immunol.
148(5):1547-1553 (1992). The leucine zipper peptides from the Fos and Jun proteins were linked to the Fab' portions of two different antibodies by gene fusion. The antibody homodimers were reduced at the hinge region to form monomers and then re-oxidized to form the antibody heterodimers. This method can also be utilized for the production of antibody homodimers. The "diabody" technology described by Hollinger et al., Proc.
Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:6444-6448 (1993) has provided an alternative mechanism for making bispecific antibody fragments. The fragments comprise a heavy-chain variable domain (VH) connected to a light-chain variable domain (VL) by a linker which is too short to allow pairing between the two domains on the same chain. Accordingly, the V, and VL domains of one fragment are forced to pair with the complementary V, and V,, 96 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 domains of another fragment, thereby forming two antigen-binding sites. Another strategy for making bispecific antibody fragments by the use of single-chain Fv (sFv) dimers has also been reported. See, Gruber et al., J. Immunol. 152:5368 (1994).
Antibodies with more than two valencies are contemplated. For example, trispecific antibodies can be prepared. Tutt et al., J. Immunol. 147:60 (1991).
Exemplary bispecific antibodies may bind to two different epitopes on a given FGF-19 polypeptide herein. Alternatively, an anti-FGF-19 polypeptide arm may be combined with an arm which binds to a triggering molecule on a leukocyte such as a T-cell receptor molecule CD2, CD3, CD28, or B7), or Fc receptors for IgG (FcyR), such as FcyRI (CD64), FcyRlI (CD32) and FcyRIllI (CDI6) so as to focus cellular defense mechanisms to the cell expressing the particular FGF-19 polypeptide. Bispecific antibodies may also be used to localize cytotoxic agents to cells which express a particular FGF-19 polypeptide. These antibodies possess a FGF-19-binding arm and an arm which binds a cytotoxic agent or a radionuclide chelator, such as EOTUBE, DPTA, DOTA, or TETA. Another bispecific antibody of interest binds the FGF-19 polypeptide and further binds tissue factor (TF).
Heteroconjugate Antibodies Heteroconjugate antibodies are also within the scope of the present invention.
Heteroconjugate antibodies are composed of two covalently joined antibodies. Such antibodies have, for example, been proposed to target immune system cells to unwanted cells Patent No. 4,676,980], and for treatment ofHIV infection [WO 91/00360; WO 92/200373; EP 03089]. It is contemplated that the antibodies may be prepared in vitro using known methods in synthetic protein chemistry, including those involving crosslinking agents. For example, immunotoxins may be constructed using a disulfide exchange reaction or by forming a thioether bond. Examples of suitable reagents for this purpose include iminothiolatc and methyl-4-mercaptobutyrimidate and those disclosed, for example, in U.S. Patent No. 4,676,980.
6. Effector Function Engineering 97 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 It may be desirable to modify the antibody of the invention with respect to effector function, so as to enhance, the effectiveness of the antibody in treating cancer. For example, cysteine residue(s) may be introduced into the Fc region, thereby allowing interchain disulfide bond formation in this region. The homodimeric antibody thus generated may have improved internalization capability and/or increased complementmediated cell killing and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). See Caron et al., J. Exp Med., 176: 1191-1195 (1992) and Shopes, J. Immunol., 148: 2918-2922 (1992). Homodimeric antibodies with enhanced anti-tumor activity may also be prepared using heterobifunctional cross-linkers as described in Wolffet al. Cancer Research, 53: 2560-2565 (1993). Alternatively, an antibody can be engineered that has dual Fc regions and may thereby have enhanced complement lysis and ADCC capabilities. See Stevenson el al., Anti-Cancer Drug Design, 3: 219-230 (1989).
7. Immunoconjugates The invention also pertains to immunoconjugates comprising an antibody conjugated to a cytotoxic agent such as a chemotherapeutic agent, toxin an enzymatically active toxin of bacterial, fungal, plant, or animal origin, or fragments thereof), or a radioactive isotope (i a radioconjugate).
Chemotherapeutic agents useful in the generation of such immunoconjugates have been described above. Enzymatically active toxins and fragments thereof that can be used include diphtheria A chain, nonbinding active fragments of diphtheria toxin, exotoxin A chain (from Pseudomonas aeruginosa), ricin A chain, abrin A chain, modeccin A chain, alpha-sarcin, Aleuritesfordii proteins, dianthin proteins, Phytolaca americana proteins (PAPI, PAPII, and PAP-S), momordica charantia inhibitor, curcin, crotin, sapaonaria officinalis inhibitor, gelonin, mitogellin, restrictocin, phenomycin, enomycin, and the tricothecenes. A variety of radionuclides are available for the production of radioconjugated antibodies. Examples include 21 2 Bi, 0 Y, and '"Re.
Conjugates of the antibody and cytotoxic agent are made using a variety of bifunctional protein-coupling agents such as N-succinimidyl-3-(2-pyridyldithiol) propionate (SPDP), iminothiolane bifunctional derivatives of imidoesters (such as dimethyl adipimidate HCL), active esters (such as disuccinimidyl suberate), aldehydes (such as glutareldehyde), bis-azido compounds (such as bis (p-azidobenzoyl) 98 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 hexanediamine), bis-diazonium derivatives (such as bis-(p-diazoniumbenzoyl)ethylenediamine), diisocyanates (such as tolyene 2,6-diisocyanate), and bis-active fluorine compounds (such as 1,5-difluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene). For example, a ricin immunotoxin can be prepared as described in Vitetta et al., Science, 238: 1098 (1987). Carbon-14labeled 1-isothiocyanatobenzyl-3-methyldiethylene triaminepentaacetic acid (MX-DTPA) is an exemplary chelating agent for conjugation of radionucleotide to the antibody. See W094/11026.
In another embodiment, the antibody may be conjugated to a "receptor" (such streptavidin) for utilization in tumor pretargeting wherein the antibody-receptor conj ugate is administered to the patient, followed by removal of unbound conjugate from the circulation using a clearing agent and then administration of a "ligand" avidin) that is conjugated to a cytotoxic agent a radionucleotide).
8. Immunoliposomes The antibodies disclosed herein may also be formulated as immunoliposomes.
Liposomes containing the antibody are prepared by methods known in the art, such as described in Epstein et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 82: 3688 (1985); Hwang et al., Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA, 77: 4030 (1980); and U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,485,045 and 4,544,545. Liposomes with enhanced circulation time are disclosed in U.S. Patent No.
5,013,556.
Particularly useful liposomes can be generated by the reverse-phase evaporation method with a lipid composition comprising phosphatidylcholine, cholesterol, and PEGderivatized phosphatidylethanolamine (PEG-PE). Liposomes are extruded through filters of defined pore size to yield liposomes with the desired diameter. Fab' fragments of the antibody of the present invention can be conjugated to the liposomes as described in Martin et al., J. Biol. Chem., 257: 286-288 (1982) via a disulfide-interchange reaction.
A chemotherapeutic agent (such as Doxorubicin) is optionally contained within the liposome. See Gabizon et al., J. National Cancer Inst., 81(19): 1484 (1989).
9. Pharmaceutical Compositions of Antibodies 99 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 Antibodies specifically binding a FGF-19 polypeptide identified herein, as well as other molecules identified by the screening assays disclosed hereinbefore, can be administered for the treatment of various disorders in the form of pharmaceutical compositions.
If the FGF-19 polypeptide is intracellular and whole antibodies are used as inhibitors, internalizing antibodies are preferred. However, lipofections or liposomes can also be used to deliver the antibody, or an antibody fragment, into cells. Where antibody fragments are used, the smallest inhibitory fragment that specifically binds to the binding domain of the target protein is preferred. For example, based upon the variable-region sequences of an antibody, peptide molecules can be designed that retain the ability to bind the target protein sequence. Such peptides can be synthesized chemically and/or produced by recombinant DNA technology. See, Marasco et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 7889-7893 (1993). The formulation herein may also contain more than one active compound as necessary for the particular indication being treated, preferably those with complementary activities that do not adversely affect each other. Alternatively, or in addition, the composition may comprise an agent that enhances its function, such as, for example, a cytotoxic agent, cytokine, chemotherapeutic agent, or growth-inhibitory agent.
Such molecules are suitably present in combination in amounts that are effective for the purpose intended.
The active ingredients may also be entrapped in microcapsules prepared, for example, by coacervation techniques or by interfacial polymerization, for example, hydroxymethylcellulose or gelatin-microcapsules and poly-(methylmethacylate) microcapsules, respectively, in colloidal drug delivery systems (for example, liposomes, albumin microspheres, microemulsions, nano-particles, and nanocapsules) or in macroemulsions. Such techniques are disclosed in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, supra.
The formulations to be used for in vivo administration must be sterile. This is readily accomplished by filtration through sterile filtration membranes.
Sustained-release preparations may be prepared. Suitable examples of sustainedrelease preparations include semipermeable matrices of solid hydrophobic polymers containing the antibody, which matrices are in the form of shaped articles, films, or 100 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/USOO/06471 microcapsules. Examples of sustained-release matrices include polyesters, hydrogels (for example, poly(2-hydroxyethyl-methacrylate), or poly(vinylalcohol)), polylactides (U.S.
Pat. No. 3,773,919), copolymers of L-glutamic acid and y ethyl-L-glutamate, nondegradable ethylene-vinyl acetate, degradable lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymers such as the LUPRON DEPOT M (injectable microspheres composed of lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer and leuprolide acetate), and poly-D-(-)-3-hydroxybutyric acid. While polymers such as ethylene-vinyl acetate and lactic acid-glycolic acid enable release of molecules for over 100 days, certain hydrogels release proteins for shorter time periods.
When encapsulated antibodies remain in the body for a long time, they may denature or aggregate as a result of exposure to moisture at 37 0 C, resulting in a loss of biological activity and possible changes in immunogenicity. Rational strategies can be devised for stabilization depending on the mechanism involved. For example, if the aggregation mechanism is discovered to be intermolecular S-S bond formation through thio-disulfide interchange, stabilization may be achieved by modifying sulfhydryl residues, lyophilizing from acidic solutions, controlling moisture content, using appropriate additives, and developing specific polymer matrix compositions.
G. Uses for anti-FGF-19 Antibodies The anti-FGF-19 antibodies of the invention have various utilities. For example, anti-FGF-19 antibodies may be used in diagnostic assays for FGF-19, detecting its expression in specific cells, tissues, or serum. Various diagnostic assay techniques known in the art may be used, such as competitive binding assays, direct or indirect sandwich assays and immunoprecipitation assays conducted in either heterogeneous or homogeneous phases [Zola, Monoclonal Antibodies: A Manual of Techniques, CRC Press, Inc. (1987) pp. 147-158]. The antibodies used in the diagnostic assays can be labeled with a detectable moiety. The detectable moiety should be capable of producing, either directly or indirectly, a detectable signal. For example, the detectable moiety may be a radioisotope, such as 3 H, 4 C, 3 2 P, or 125I, a fluorescent or chemiluminescent compound, such as fluorescein isothiocyanate, rhodamine, or luciferin, or an enzyme, such as alkaline phosphatase, beta-galactosidase or horseradish peroxidase. Any method known in the art for conjugating the antibody to the detectable moiety may be employed, 101 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/USOO/06471 including those methods described by Hunter et al., Nature, 144:945 (1962); David et al., Biochemistry, 13:1014 (1974); Pain et al., J. Immunol. Meth., 40:219(1981); andNygren, J. Histochem. and Cytochem.. 30:407 (1982).
Anti-FGF-19 antibodies also are useful for the affinity purification of FGF-19 from recombinant cell culture or natural sources. In this process, the antibodies against FGF-19 are immobilized on a suitable support, such a Sephadex resin or filter paper, using methods well known in the art. The immobilized antibody then is contacted with a sample containing the FGF-19 to be purified, and thereafter the support is washed with a suitable solvent that will remove substantially all the material in the sample except the FGF-19, which is bound to the immobilized antibody. Finally, the support is washed with another suitable solvent that will release the FGF-19 from the antibody.
The following examples are offered for illustrative purposes only, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention in any way.
All patent and literature references cited in the present specification are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
EXAMPLES
Commercially available reagents referred to in the examples were used according to manufacturer's instructions unless otherwise indicated. The source of those cells identified in the following examples, and throughout the specification, by ATCC accession numbers is the American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, VA.
EXAMPLE 1 Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding a Human FGF-19 The EST sequence accession number AF007268, a murine fibroblast growth factor (FGF- 15) was used to search various public EST databases GenBank, Dayhoff, etc.).
The search was performed using the computer program BLAST or BLAST2 [Altschul et al., Methods in Enzvmologvy 266:460-480 (1996)] as a comparison of the ECD protein sequences to a 6 frame translation of the EST sequences. The search resulted in a hit with GenBank EST AA220994, which has been identified as STRATAGENE NT2 neuronal precursor 937230. The sequence of AA220994 is also referred to herein as DNA47412.
102 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 Based on the DNA47412 sequence, oligonucleotides were synthesized: 1) to identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained the sequence of interest, and 2) for use as probes to isolate a clone of the full-length coding sequence for FGF-19. Forward and reverse PCR primers generally range from 20 to 30 nucleotides and are often designed to give a PCR product of about 100-1000 bp in length. The probe sequences are typically 40-55 bp in length. In some cases, additional oligonucleotides are synthesized when the consensus sequence is greater than about 1-1.5kbp. In order to screen several libraries for a full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR amplification, as per Ausubel et al., Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, supra, with the PCR primer pair.
A positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the gene of interest using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the primer pairs.
PCR primers (forward and reverse) were synthesized: forward PCR primer 5'-ATCCGCCCAGATGGCTACAATGTGTA-3' (SEQ IDNO:3), and reverse PCR primer 5'-CCAGTCCGGTGACAAGCCCAAA-3' (SEQ ID NO:4).
Additionally, a synthetic oligonucleotide hybridization probe was constructed from the DNA47412 sequence which had the following nucleotide sequence: hybridization probe 5'-GCCTCCCGGTCTCCCTGAGCAGTGCCAAACAGCGGCAGTGTA-3' (SEQ ID RNA for construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated from human fetal retina tissue. The cDNA libraries used to isolate the cDNA clones were constructed by standard methods using commercially available reagents such as those from Invitrogen, San Diego, CA. The cDNA was primed with oligo dT containing a Notl site, linked with blunt to Sail hemikinased adaptors, cleaved with NotI, sized appropriately by gel electrophoresis, and cloned in a defined orientation into a suitable cloning vector (such as pRKB or pRKD; pRK5B is a precursor ofpRK5D that does not contain the Sfil site; see, Holmes et al., Science, 253:1278-1280 (1991)) in the unique Xhol and Notl sites.
DNA sequencing of the clones isolated as described above gave the full-length DNA sequence for a full-length FGF-19 polypcptide (designated herein as DNA49435- 103 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 1219 [Figure 1, SEQ ID NO: and the derived protein sequence for that FGF-19 polypeptide.
The full length clone identified above contained a single open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site at nucleotide positions 464-466 and a stop signal at nucleotide positions 1112-1114 (Figure 1, SEQ ID NO:1). The predicted polypeptide precursor is 216 amino acids long, has a calculated molecular weight of approximately 24,003 daltons and an estimated pl of approximately 6.99. Analysis of the full-length FGF-19 sequence shown in Figure 2 (SEQ ID NO:2) evidences the presence of a variety of important polypeptide domains as shown in Figure 2, wherein the locations given for those important polypeptide domains are approximate as described above. Chromosome mapping evidences that the FGF-19-encoding nucleic acid maps to chromosome 1 lq13.1, band q13.1, in humans. Clone DNA49435-1219 has been deposited with ATCC on November 21, 1997 and is assigned ATCC deposit no. 209480.
An analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt 35), using the ALIGN-2 sequence alignment analysis of the full-length sequence shown in Figure 2 (SEQ ID NO:2), evidenced sequence identity between the FGF-19 amino acid sequence and the following Dayhoff sequences: AF007268_1, S54407, P_W52596, FGF2_XENLA, P_W53793, AB002097_1, P_R27966, HSU67918_1, S23595, and P_R70824.
EXAMPLE 2 Use of FGF-19 as a hybridization probe The following method describes use of a nucleotide sequence encoding FGF-19 as a hybridization probe.
DNA comprising the coding sequence of full-length or mature FGF-19 is employed as a probe to screen for homologous DNAs (such as those encoding naturallyoccurring variants of FGF-19) in human tissue cDNA libraries or human tissue genomic libraries.
Hybridization and washing of filters containing either library DNAs is performed under the following high stringency conditions. Hybridization of radiolabeled FGF-19derived probe to the filters is performed in a solution of 50% formamide, 5x SSC, 0.1% 104 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 SDS, 0.1% sodium pyrophosphate, 50 mM sodium phosphate, pH 6.8, 2x Denhardt's solution, and 10% dextran sulfate at 42 0 C for 20 hours. Washing of the filters is performed in an aqueous solution of 0.1x SSC and 0.1% SDS at 42 0
C.
DNAs having a desired sequence identity with the DNA encoding full-length native sequence FGF-19 can then be identified using standard techniques known in the art.
EXAMPLE 3 Expression of FGF-19 in E. coli This example illustrates preparation of an unglycosylated form of FGF-19 by recombinant expression in E. coli.
The DNA sequence encoding FGF-19 is initially amplified using selected PCR primers. The primers should contain restriction enzyme sites which correspond to the restriction enzyme sites on the selected expression vector. A variety of expression vectors may be employed. An example of a suitable vector is pBR322 (derived from E. coli; see Bolivar et al., Gene, 2:95 (1977)) which contains genes for ampicillin and tetracycline resistance. The vector is digested with restriction enzyme and dephosphorylated. The PCR amplified sequences are then ligated into the vector. The vector will preferably include sequences which encode for an antibiotic resistance gene, a trp promoter, a polyhis leader (including the first six STII codons, polyhis sequence, and enterokinase cleavage site), the FGF-19 coding region, lambda transcriptional terminator, and an argU gene.
The ligation mixture is then used to transform a selected E. coli strain using the methods described in Sambrook et al., supra. Transformants are identified by their ability to grow on LB plates and antibiotic resistant colonies are then selected. Plasmid DNA can be isolated and confirmed by restriction analysis and DNA sequencing.
Selected clones can be grown overnight in liquid culture medium such as LB broth supplemented with antibiotics. The overnight culture may subsequently be used to inoculate a larger scale culture. The cells are then grown to a desired optical density, during which the expression promoter is turned on.
105 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 After culturing the cells for several more hours, the cells can be harvested by centrifugation. The cell pellet obtained by the centrifugation can be solubilized using various agents known in the art, and the solubilized FGF-19 protein can then be purified using a metal chelating column under conditions that allow tight binding of the protein.
FGF-19 may be expressed in E. coli in a poly-His tagged form, using the following procedure. The DNA encoding FGF-19 is initially amplified using selected PCR primers. The primers will contain restriction enzyme sites which correspond to the restriction enzyme sites on the selected expression vector, and other useful sequences providing for efficient and reliable translation initiation, rapid purification on a metal chelation column, and proteolytic removal with enterokinase. The PCR-amplified, poly- His tagged sequences are then ligated into an expression vector, which is used to transform an E. coli host based on strain 52 (W3110 fuhA(tonA) Ion galE rpoHts(htpRts) clpP(laclq). Transformants are first grown in LB containing 50 mg/ml carbenicillin at 0 C with shaking until an O.D.600 of 3-5 is reached. Cultures are then diluted 50-100 fold into CRAP media (prepared by mixing 3.57 g (NH 4 2
SO
4 0.71 g sodium citrate-2H20, 1.07 g KCI, 5.36 g Difco yeast extract, 5.36 g Sheffield hycase SF in 500 mL water, as well as 110 mM MPOS, pH 7.3, 0.55% glucose and 7 mM MgSO 4 and grown for approximately 20-30 hours at 30°C with shaking. Samples are removed to verify expression by SDS-PAGE analysis, and the bulk culture is centrifuged to pellet the cells. Cell pellets are frozen until purification and refolding.
E. coli paste from 0.5 to 1 L fermentations (6-10 g pellets) is resuspended in volumes in 7 M guanidine, 20 mM Tris, pH 8 buffer. Solid sodium sulfite and sodium tetrathionate is added to make final concentrations of 0.1M and 0.02 M, respectively, and the solution is stirred overnight at 4°C. This step results in a denatured protein with all cysteine residues blocked by sulfitolization. The solution is centrifuged at 40,000 rpm in a Beckman Ultracentifuge for 30 min. The superatant is diluted with volumes of metal chelate column buffer (6 M guanidine, 20 mM Tris, pH 7.4) and filtered through 0.22 micron filters to clarify. The clarified extract is loaded onto a 5 ml Qiagen Ni-NTA metal chelate column equilibrated in the metal chelate column buffer.
The column is washed with additional buffer containing 50 mM imidazole (Calbiochem, Utrol grade), pH 7.4. The protein is eluted with buffer containing 250 mM imidazole.
106 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 Fractions containing the desired protein are pooled and stored at 4 0 C. Protein concentration is estimated by its absorbance at 280 nm using the calculated extinction coefficient based on its amino acid sequence.
The proteins are refolded by diluting the sample slowly into freshly prepared refolding buffer consisting of: 20 mM Tris, pH 8.6, 0.3 M NaCI, 2.5 M urea, 5 mM cysteine, 20 mM glycine and 1 mM EDTA. Refolding volumes are chosen so that the final protein concentration is between 50 to 100 micrograms/ml. The refolding solution is stirred gently at 4 0 C for 12-36 hours. The refolding reaction is quenched by the addition ofTFA to a final concentration of 0.4% (pH of approximately Before further purification of the protein, the solution is filtered through a 0.22 micron filter and acetonitrile is added to 2-10% final concentration. The refolded protein is chromatographed on a Poros RI/H reversed phase column using a mobile buffer of 0.1% TFA with elution with a gradient of acetonitrile from 10 to 80%. Aliquots of fractions with A280 absorbance are analyzed on SDS polyacrylamide gels and fractions containing homogeneous refolded protein are pooled. Generally, the properly refolded species of most proteins are eluted at the lowest concentrations ofacetonitrile since those species are the most compact with their hydrophobic interiors shielded from interaction with the reversed phase resin. Aggregated species are usually eluted at higher acetonitrile concentrations. In addition to resolving misfolded forms of proteins from the desired form, the reversed phase step also removes endotoxin from the samples.
Fractions containing the desired folded FGF-19 polypeptide are pooled and the acetonitrile removed using a gentle stream of nitrogen directed at the solution. Proteins are formulated into 20 mM Hepes, pH 6.8 with 0.14 M sodium chloride and 4% mannitol by dialysis or by gel filtration using G25 Superfine (Pharmacia) resins equilibrated in the formulation buffer and sterile filtered.
EXAMPLE 4 Expression of FGF-19 in mammalian cells This example illustrates preparation of a potentially glycosylated form ofFGF- 19 by recombinant expression in mammalian cells.
107 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 The vector, pRK5 (see EP 307,247, published March 15, 1989), is employed as the expression vector. Optionally, the FGF-19 DNA is ligated into pRK5 with selected restriction enzymes to allow insertion of the FGF-19 DNA using ligation methods such as described in Sambrook et al., supra. The resulting vector is called pRK5-FGF-19.
In one embodiment, the selected host cells may be 293 cells. Human 293 cells (ATCC CCL 1573) are grown to confluence in tissue culture plates in medium such as DMEM supplemented with fetal calf serum and optionally, nutrient components and/or antibiotics. About 10 pg pRK5-FGF-19 DNA is mixed with about 1 pg DNA encoding the VA RNA gene [Thimmappaya et al., Cell, 31:543 (1982)] and dissolved in 500 pl of 1 mM Tris-HC1, 0.1 mM EDTA, 0.227 M CaCI 2 To this mixture is added, dropwise, 500 pl of 50 mM HEPES (pH 7.35), 280 mM NaCI, 1.5 mM NaPO 4 and a precipitate is allowed to form for 10 minutes at 25 0 C. The precipitate is suspended and added to the 293 cells and allowed to settle for about four hours at 37 0 C. The culture medium is aspirated off and 2 ml of 20% glycerol in PBS is added for 30 seconds. The 293 cells are then washed with serum free medium, fresh medium is added and the cells are incubated for about 5 days.
Approximately 24 hours after the transfections, the culture medium is removed and replaced with culture medium (alone) or culture medium containing 200 pCi/ml 3Scysteine and 200 pCi/ml 3 S-methionine. After a 12 hour incubation, the conditioned medium is collected, concentrated on a spin filter, and loaded onto a 15% SDS gel. The processed gel may be dried and exposed to film for a selected period of time to reveal the presence of FGF-19 polypeptide. The cultures containing transfected cells may undergo further incubation (in serum free medium) and the medium is tested in selected bioassays.
In an alternative technique, FGF-19 may be introduced into 293 cells transiently using the dextran sulfate method described by Somparyrac et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 12:7575 (1981). 293 cells are grown to maximal density in a spinner flask and 700 pg pRK5-FGF-19 DNA is added. The cells are first concentrated from the spinner flask by centrifugation and washed with PBS. The DNA-dextran precipitate is incubated on the cell pellet for four hours. The cells are treated with 20% glycerol for 90 seconds, washed with tissue culture medium, and re-introduced into the spinner flask containing tissue culture medium, 5 pg/ml bovine insulin and 0.1 pg/ml bovine transferrin. After about 108 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 four days, the conditioned media is centrifuged and filtered to remove cells and debris.
The sample containing expressed FGF-19 can then be concentrated and purified by any selected method, such as dialysis and/or column chromatography.
In another embodiment, FGF-19 can be expressed in CHO cells. The 19 can be transfected into CHO cells using known reagents such as CaPO 4 or DEAEdextran. As described above, the cell cultures can be incubated, and the medium replaced with culture medium (alone) or medium containing a radiolabel such as "S-methionine.
After determining the presence of FGF-19 polypeptide, the culture medium may be replaced with serum free medium. Preferably, the cultures are incubated for about 6 days, and then the conditioned medium is harvested. The medium containing the expressed FGF-19 can then be concentrated and purified by any selected method.
Epitope-tagged FGF-19 may also be expressed in host CHO cells. The FGF-19 may be subcloned out of the pRK5 vector. The subclone insert can undergo PCR to fuse in frame with a selected epitope tag such as a poly-his tag into a Baculovirus expression vector. The poly-his tagged FGF-19 insert can then be subcloned into a SV40 driven vector containing a selection marker such as DHFR for selection of stable clones. Finally, the CHO cells can be transfected (as described above) with the SV40 driven vector.
Labeling may be performed, as described above, to verify expression. The culture medium containing the expressed poly-His tagged FGF-19 can then be concentrated and purified by any selected method, such as by Ni 2 -chelate affinity chromatography.
FGF-19 may also be expressed in CHO and/or COS cells by a transient expression procedure or in CHO cells by another stable expression procedure.
Stable expression in CHO cells is performed using the following procedure. The proteins are expressed as an IgG construct (immunoadhesin), in which the coding sequences for the soluble forms extracellular domains) of the respective proteins are fused to an IgGI constant region sequence containing the hinge, CH2 and CH2 domains and/or is a poly-His tagged form.
Following PCR amplification, the respective DNAs are subcloned in a CHO expression vector using standard techniques as described in Ausubel et al., Current Protocols of Molecular Biology, Unit 3.16, John Wiley and Sons (1997). CHO expression vectors are constructed to have compatible restriction sites 5' and 3' of the 109 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 DNA of interest to allow the convenient shuttling ofcDNA's. The vector used expression in CHO cells is as described in Lucas et al., Nucl. Acids Res. 24:9 (1774-1779 (1996), and uses the SV40 early promoter/enhancer to drive expression of the cDNA of interest and dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). DHFR expression permits selection for stable maintenance of the plasmid following transfection.
Twelve micrograms of the desired plasmid DNA is introduced into approximately million CHO cells using commercially available transfection reagents Superfect® (Quiagen), Dosper® or Fugene® (Boehringer Mannheim). The cells are grown as described in Lucas et al., supra. Approximately 3 x 10 7 cells are frozen in an ampule for further growth and production as described below.
The ampules containing the plasmid DNA are thawed by placement into water bath and mixed by vortexing. The contents are pipetted into a centrifuge tube containing mLs of media and centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes. The supernatant is aspirated and the cells are resuspended in 10 mL of selective media (0.2 jm filtered PS20 with 0.2 Pm diafiltered fetal bovine serum). The cells are then aliquoted into a 100 mL spinner containing 90 mL of selective media. After 1-2 days, the cells are transferred into a 250 mL spinner filled with 150 mL selective growth medium and incubated at 37°C. After another 2-3 days, 250 mL, 500 mL and 2000 mL spinners are seeded with 3 x 10 s cells/mL. The cell media is exchanged with fresh media by centrifugation and resuspension in production medium. Although any suitable CHO media may be employed, a production medium described in U.S. Patent No. 5,122,469, issued June 16, 1992 may actually be used. A 3L production spinner is seeded at 1.2 x 106 cells/mL. On day 0, the cell number pH ie determined. On day 1, the spinner is sampled and sparging with filtered air is commenced. On day 2, the spinner is sampled, the temperature shifted to 33 0 C, and 30 mL of 500 g/L glucose and 0.6 mL of 10% antifoam polydimethylsiloxane emulsion, Dow Coming 365 Medical Grade Emulsion) taken.
Throughout the production, the pH is adjusted as necessary to keep it at around 7.2. After days, or until the viability dropped below 70%, the cell culture is harvested by centrifugation and filtering through a 0.22 ,m filter. The filtrate was either stored at 4°C or immediately loaded onto columns for purification.
110 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 For the poly-His tagged constructs, the proteins are purified using a Ni-NTA column (Qiagen). Before purification, imidazole is added to the conditioned media to a concentration of 5 mM. The conditioned media is pumped onto a 6 ml Ni-NTA column equilibrated in 20 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, buffer containing 0.3 M NaCI and 5 mM imidazole at a flow rate of 4-5 ml/min. at 4 0 C. After loading, the column is washed with additional equilibration buffer and the protein eluted with equilibration buffer containing 0.25 M imidazole. The highly purified protein is subsequently desalted into a storage buffer containing 10 mM Hepes, 0.14 M NaCI and 4% mannitol, pH 6.8, with a 25 ml Superfine (Pharmacia) column and stored at -80 0
C.
Immunoadhesin (Fc-containing) constructs are purified from the conditioned media as follows. The conditioned medium is pumped onto a 5 ml Protein A column (Pharmacia) which had been equilibrated in 20 mM Na phosphate buffer, pH 6.8. After loading, the column is washed extensively with equilibration buffer before elution with 100 mM citric acid, pH 3.5. The eluted protein is immediately neutralized by collecting 1 ml fractions into tubes containing 275 pL of 1 M Tris buffer, pH 9. The highly purified protein is subsequently desalted into storage buffer as described above for the poly-His tagged proteins. The homogeneity is assessed by SDS polyacrylamide gels and by Nterminal amino acid sequencing by Edman degradation.
EXAMPLE Expression of FGF-19 in Yeast The following method describes recombinant expression of FGF-19 in yeast.
First, yeast expression vectors are constructed for intracellular production or secretion of FGF-19 from the ADH2/GAPDH promoter. DNA encoding FGF-19 and the promoter is inserted into suitable restriction enzyme sites in the selected plasmid to direct intracellular expression of FGF- 19. For secretion, DNA encoding FGF- 19 can be cloned into the selected plasmid, together with DNA encoding the ADH2/GAPDH promoter, a native FGF- 19 signal peptide or other mammalian signal peptide, or, for example, a yeast alpha-factor or invertase secretory signal/leader sequence, and linker sequences (if needed) for expression of FGF-19.
111 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 Yeast cells, such as yeast strain ABI10, can then be transformed with the expression plasmids described above and cultured in selected fermentation media. The transformed yeast supernatants can be analyzed by precipitation with 10% trichloroacetic acid and separation by SDS-PAGE, followed by staining of the gels with Coomassie Blue stain.
Recombinant FGF-19 can subsequently be isolated and purified by removing the yeast cells from the fermentation medium by centrifugation and then concentrating the medium using selected cartridge filters. The concentrate containing FGF-19 may further be purified using selected column chromatography resins.
EXAMPLE 6 Expression of FGF-19 in Baculovirus-Infected Insect Cells The following method describes recombinant expression of FGF-19 in Baculovirus-infected insect cells.
The sequence coding for FGF-19 is fused upstream of an epitope tag contained within a baculovirus expression vector. Such epitope tags include poly-his tags and immunoglobulin tags (like Fc regions of IgG). A variety of plasmids may be employed, including plasmids derived from commercially available plasmids such as pVL1393 (Novagen). Briefly, the sequence encoding FGF-19 or the desired portion of the coding sequence of FGF-19 such as the sequence encoding the extracellular domain of a transmembrane protein or the sequence encoding the mature protein if the protein is extracellular is amplified by PCR with primers complementary to the 5' and 3' regions.
The 5' primer may incorporate flanking (selected) restriction enzyme sites. The product is then digested with those selected restriction enzymes and subcloned into the expression vector.
Recombinant baculovirus is generated by co-transfecting the above plasmid and BaculoGold T virus DNA (Pharmingen) into Spodopterafrugiperda cells (ATCC CRL 1711) using lipofectin (commercially available from GIBCO-BRL). After 4 5 days of incubation at 28 0 C, the released viruses are harvested and used for further amplifications. Viral infection and protein expression are performed as described by 112 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 O'Reilley et al., Baculovirus expression vectors: A Laboratory Manual, Oxford: Oxford University Press (1994).
Expressed poly-his tagged FGF-19 can then be purified, for example, by Ni 2 chelate affinity chromatography as follows. Extracts are prepared from recombinant virus-infected Sf9 cells as described by Rupert et al., Nature, 362:175-179 (1993).
Briefly, Sf9 cells are washed, resuspended in sonication buffer (25 mL Hepes, pH 7.9; 12.5 mM MgCI 2 0.1 mM EDTA; 10% glycerol; 0.1%NP-40; 0.4 M KCI), and sonicated twice for 20 seconds on ice. The sonicates are cleared by centrifugation, and the supernatant is diluted 50-fold in loading buffer (50 mM phosphate, 300 mM NaCI, glycerol, pH 7.8) and filtered through a 0.45 pm filter. A Ni 2 *-NTA agarose column (commercially available from Qiagen) is prepared with a bed volume of 5 mL, washed with 25 mL of water and equilibrated with 25 mL of loading buffer. The filtered cell extract is loaded onto the column at 0.5 mL per minute. The column is washed to baseline A280 with loading buffer, at which point fraction collection is started. Next, the column is washed with a secondary wash buffer (50 mM phosphate; 300 mM NaCI, glycerol, pH which elutes nonspecifically bound protein. After reaching A 2 0 baseline again, the column is developed with a 0 to 500 mM Imidazole gradient in the secondary wash buffer. One mL fractions are collected and analyzed by SDS-PAGE and silver staining or Western blot with Ni 2 -NTA-conjugated to alkaline phosphatase (Qiagen). Fractions containing the eluted His 0 -tagged FGF-19 are pooled and dialyzed against loading buffer.
Alternatively, purification of the IgG tagged (or Fc tagged) FGF-19 can be performed using known chromatography techniques, including for instance, Protein A or protein G column chromatography.
EXAMPLE 7 Preparation of Antibodies that Bind FGF-19 This example illustrates preparation of monoclonal antibodies which can specifically bind FGF-19.
Techniques for producing the monoclonal antibodies are known in the art and are described, for instance, in Goding, supra. Immunogens that may be employed include 113 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 purified FGF-19, fusion proteins containing FGF-19, and cells expressing recombinant FGF-19 on the cell surface. Selection of the immunogen can be made by the skilled artisan without undue experimentation.
Mice, such as Balb/c, are immunized with the FGF-19 immunogen emulsified in complete Freund's adjuvant and injected subcutaneously or intraperitoneally in an amount from 1-100 micrograms. Alternatively, the immunogen is emulsified in MPL-TDM adjuvant (Ribi Immunochemical Research, Hamilton, MT) and injected into the animal's hind foot pads. The immunized mice are then boosted 10 to 12 days later with additional immunogen emulsified in the selected adjuvant. Thereafter, for several weeks, the mice may also be boosted with additional immunization injections. Serum samples may be periodically obtained from the mice by retro-orbital bleeding for testing in ELISA assays to detect anti-FGF-19 antibodies.
After a suitable antibody titer has been detected, the animals "positive" for antibodies can be injected with a final intravenous injection of FGF-19. Three to four days later, the mice are sacrificed and the spleen cells are harvested. The spleen cells are then fused (using 35% polyethylene glycol) to a selected murine myeloma cell line such as P3X63AgU. 1, available from ATCC, No. CRL 1597. The fusions generate hybridoma cells which can then be plated in 96 well tissue culture plates containing HAT (hypoxanthine, aminopterin, and thymidine) medium to inhibit proliferation of non-fused cells, myeloma hybrids, and spleen cell hybrids.
The hybridoma cells will be screened in an ELISA for reactivity against FGF-19.
Determination of"positive" hybridoma cells secreting the desired monoclonal antibodies against FGF-19 is within the skill in the art.
The positive hybridoma cells can be injected intraperitoneally into syngeneic Balb/c mice to produce ascites containing the anti-FGF-19 monoclonal antibodies.
Alternatively, the hybridoma cells can be grown in tissue culture flasks or roller bottles.
Purification of the monoclonal antibodies produced in the ascites can be accomplished using ammonium sulfate precipitation, followed by gel exclusion chromatography.
Alternatively, affinity chromatography based upon binding of antibody to protein A or protein G can be employed.
114 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 EXAMPLE 8 Purification of FGF-19 Polvpeptides Using Specific Antibodies Native or recombinant FGF-19 polypeptides may be purified by a variety of standard techniques in the art of protein purification. For example, pro-FGF-19 polypeptide, mature FGF-19 polypeptide, or pre-FGF-19 polypeptide is purified by immunoaffinity chromatography using antibodies specific for the FGF-19 polypeptide of interest. In general, an immunoaffinity column is constructed by covalently coupling the anti-FGF-19 polypeptide antibody to an activated chromatographic resin.
Polyclonal immunoglobulins are prepared from immune sera either by precipitation with ammonium sulfate or by purification on immobilized Protein A (Pharmacia LKB Biotechnology, Piscataway, Likewise, monoclonal antibodies are prepared from mouse ascites fluid by ammonium sulfate precipitation or chromatography on immobilized Protein A. Partially purified immunoglobulin is covalently attached to a chromatographic resin such as CnBr-activated SEPHAROSE T (Pharmacia LKB Biotechnology). The antibody is coupled to the resin, the resin is blocked, and the derivative resin is washed according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Such an immunoaffinity column is utilized in the purification of FGF-19 polypeptide by preparing a fraction from cells containing FGF-19 polypeptide in a soluble form. This preparation is derived by solubilization of the whole cell or of a subcellular fraction obtained via differential centrifugation by the addition of detergent or by other methods well known in the art. Alternatively, soluble FGF-19 polypeptide containing a signal sequence may be secreted in useful quantity into the medium in which the cells are grown.
A soluble FGF-19 polypeptide-containing preparation is passed over the immunoaffinity column, and the column is washed under conditions that allow the preferential absorbance of FGF-19 polypeptide high ionic strength buffers in the presence of detergent). Then, the column is eluted under conditions that disrupt antibody/FGF-19 polypeptide binding a low pH buffer such as approximately pH 2-3, or a high concentration of a chaotrope such as urea or thiocyanate ion), and FGF- 19 polypeptide is collected.
115 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/USOO/06471 EXAMPLE 9 Drug Screening This invention is particularly useful for screening compounds by using FGF-19 polypeptides or binding fragment thereof in any of a variety of drug screening techniques.
The FGF-19 polypeptide or fragment employed in such a test may either be free in solution, affixed to a solid support, borne on a cell surface, or located intracellularly. One method of drug screening utilizes eukaryotic or prokaryotic host cells which are stably transformed with recombinant nucleic acids expressing the FGF-19 polypeptide or fragment. Drugs are screened against such transformed cells in competitive binding assays. Such cells, either in viable or fixed form, can be used for standard binding assays.
One may measure, for example, the formation of complexes between FGF- 19 polypeptide or a fragment and the agent being tested. Alternatively, one can examine the diminution in complex formation between the FGF-19 polypeptide and its target cell or target receptors caused by the agent being tested.
Thus, the present invention provides methods of screening for drugs or any other agents which can affect a FGF-19 polypeptide-associated disease or disorder. These methods comprise contacting such an agent with an FGF-19 polypeptide or fragment thereof and assaying for the presence of a complex between the agent and the FGF- 19 polypeptide or fragment, or (ii) for the presence of a complex between the FGF-19 polypeptide or fragment and the cell, by methods well known in the art. In such competitive binding assays, the FGF-19 polypeptide or fragment is typically labeled.
After suitable incubation, free FGF-19 polypeptide or fragment is separated from that present in bound form, and the amount of free or uncomplexed label is a measure of the ability of the particular agent to bind to FGF-19 polypeptide or to interfere with the FGF- 19 polypeptide/cell complex.
Another technique for drug screening provides high throughput screening for compounds having suitable binding affinity to a polypeptide and is described in detail in WO 84/03564, published on September 13, 1984. Briefly stated, large numbers of different small peptide test compounds are synthesized on a solid substrate, such as plastic pins or some other surface. As applied to a FGF-19 polypeptide, the peptide test compounds are reacted with FGF-19 polypeptide and washed. Bound FGF-19 polypeptide 116 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 is detected by methods well known in the art. Purified FGF-19 polypeptide can also be coated directly onto plates for use in the aforementioned drug screening techniques. In addition, non-neutralizing antibodies can be used to capture the peptide and immobilize it on the solid support.
This invention also contemplates the use of competitive drug screening assays in which neutralizing antibodies capable of binding FGF-19 polypeptide specifically compete with a test compound for binding to FGF-19 polypeptide or fragments thereof.
In this manner, the antibodies can be used to detect the presence of any peptide which shares one or more antigenic determinants with FGF-19 polypeptide.
EXAMPLE Rational Drug Design The goal of rational drug design is to produce structural analogs of biologically active polypeptide of interest a FGF-19 polypeptide) or of small molecules with which they interact, agonists, antagonists, or inhibitors. Any of these examples can be used to fashion drugs which are more active or stable forms of the FGF-19 polypeptide or which enhance or interfere with the function of the FGF-19 polypeptide in vivo (c.f, Hodgson, Bio/Technology, 9: 19-21 (1991)).
In one approach, the three-dimensional structure of the FGF-19 polypeptide, or of an FGF-19 polypeptide-inhibitor complex, is determined by x-ray crystallography, by computer modeling or, most typically, by a combination of the two approaches. Both the shape and charges of the FGF-19 polypeptide must be ascertained to elucidate the structure and to determine active site(s) of the molecule. Less often, useful information regarding the structure of the FGF-19 polypeptide may be gained by modeling based on the structure of homologous proteins. In both cases, relevant structural information is used to design analogous FGF-I 9 polypeptide-like molecules or to identify efficient inhibitors.
Useful examples of rational drug design may include molecules which have improved activity or stability as shown by Braxton and Wells, Biochemistry, 31:7796-7801 (1992) or which act as inhibitors, agonists, or antagonists of native peptides as shown by Athauda et al., J. Biochem., 13:742-746 (1993).
117 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 It is also possible to isolate a target-specific antibody, selected by functional assay, as described above, and then to solve its crystal structure. This approach, in principle, yields a pharmacore upon which subsequent drug design can be based. It is possible to bypass protein crystallography altogether by generating anti-idiotypic antibodies (anti-ids) to a functional, pharmacologically active antibody. As a mirror image of a mirror image, the binding site of the anti-ids would be expected to be an analog of the original receptor.
The anti-id could then be used to identify and isolate peptides from banks of chemically or biologically produced peptides. The isolated peptides would then act as the pharmacore.
By virtue of the present invention, sufficient amounts of the FGF- 19 polypeptide may be made available to perform such analytical studies as X-ray crystallography. In addition, knowledge ofthe FGF-19 polypeptide amino acid sequence provided herein will provide guidance to those employing computer modeling techniques in place of or in addition to x-ray crystallography.
EXAMPLE 11 Investigation of Weight. Leptin Levels. Food Intake. Urine Production. Oxygen Consumption, and Triglyceride and Free Fatty Acid Levels in FGF-19 Transgenic Mice As described herein, FGF- 19 has been newly identified as a member of a growing family of secreted proteins related to fibroblast growth factor. FGF-19 has been characterized herein as interacting with FGF receptor 4 and does not appear to act as a mitogen. To further investigate the functions of this protein, transgenic mice have been generated that express human FGF-19.
In particular, the cDNA encoding human FGF-19 was cloned into a plasmid that contains the promoter for myosin light chain. This promoter is sufficient for muscle specific transcription of the transgene. A splice acceptor and donor was also included to the FGF-19 cDNA to increase the level of expression and a splice donor and acceptor with a poly A addition signal was included 3' to the FGF-19 cDNA to increase the level of transcription and to provide a transcription termination site.
118 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 The DNA encompassing the MLC promoter, the 5' splice acceptor and donor, the FGF-19 cDNA and the 3' splice acceptor and donor and the transcription termination site (the transgene) was released from the bacterial vector sequences using appropriate restriction enzymes and purified following size fractionation on agarose gels. The purified DNA was injected into one pronucleus of fertilized mouse eggs and transgenic mice generated and identified as described (Genetic Modification of Animals; Tim Stewart; In Exploring Genetic Mechanisms pp565-598; 1997 Eds M Singer and P Berg; University Science Books; Sausalito, Calif). The mice were 6 weeks of age for the measurements discussed below for water intake, food consumption, urine output and hematocrit. The leptin, triglycerides and free fatty acid measurements were on the same animals at 8 weeks of age.
As the results discussed below show, these mice demonstrate increased food intake and increased metabolic rate as evidenced by their rate of oxygen consumption.
Despite the increased food intake, these mice weigh significantly less than their nontransgenic littermates. This decreased body weight appears to be a consequence of decreased adiposity as leptin which correlates closely with adipose tissue mass in humans and rodents and which is decreased in the transgenic mice. In further support of this, the transgenic mice have normal linear growth as assessed by nose to rump length measurements. They are normal with respect to body temperature, body (bone length) and hematological values. Co-incident with the increased food intake, the transgenic mice have increased urine output. As the mice do not appear to drink more and are not dehydrated as determined by a normal hematocrit, the increased urine output may be derived from the metabolism of the increased food. As FGF-19 decreases adiposity without altering either of muscle mass or long bone formation, FGF-19 is indicated as an effective therapeutic in the treatment of obesity and related conditions.
More particularly, MLC-FGF-19 transgenic mice were weighed at various times under different fasting and feeding conditions. More particularly, groups of female FGF-19 transgenic mice and their non-transgenic littermates were weighed at 6 weeks of age during ad libitum feeding, after 6 and 24 hour fasts and 24 hours after ending a 24 hour fast. As shown in Figure 3A, under all conditions, the FGF-19 transgenic 119 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US0O/06471 mice (solid bars) weighed less than their wild type, non transgenic littermates (stippled bars).
Figure 3B shows the sera of the same groups of mice represented in Figure 3A, assayed for leptin. The decreased leptin in the FGF-19 transgenic mice is consistent with the lower body weights (Figure 3A) being due to decreased adiposity.
A group of 6 week old transgenic mice were monitored for food intake (Figure 4A), water intake (Figure 4B), urine output (Figure 4C) and hematocrit (Figure 4D).
As can be seen, the FGF-19 transgenic mice (solid bars) consume more food than their wild type littermates but do not drink more. Although there is no change in water consumption, the transgenic mice do produce more urine (Figure 4C). Despite the increase in urine production, the transgenic mice do not appear to be dehydrated as evidenced by the normal hematocrit (Figure 4D).
The decrease in body weight (Figure 3) with an increase in food consumption (Figure 4) could be explained by an increase in metabolic rate. The metabolic rate was determined by measuring oxygen consumption. As shown in Figure 5, the FGF-19 transgenic mice have an increased metabolic rate during both light cycles, following a 24 hour fast and 24 hours after ending a 24 hour fast.
Obesity and elevated triglycerides and free fatty acids are risk factors for cardiovascular disease. As FGF-19 decreases one of the risk factors for cardiovascular disease (obesity (Figure it was investigated whether FGF-19 could also lower other risk factors. As can be seen in Figure 6, the level of triglycerides and free fatty acids (FFA) is also lower in the FGF-19 transgenic mice.
EXAMPLE 12 FGF-19 Infusion Leads to an Increase in Food Uptake and an Increase in Oxygen Consumption To confirm that the effects seen in the FGF-19 transgenic mice were caused by the FGF-19 protein, groups of non-transgenic FvB mice were infused with recombinant FGF-19 (1 mg/kg/day, iv) delivered by an osmotically driven implanted pump. As shown in Figures 7A-B, administration of recombinant human FGF-19 causes an increase in food intake as compared to the mice infused with the carrier alone. In 120 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 addition, FGF-19 infusion leads to an increase in metabolic rate as measured by oxygen consumption.
EXAMPLE 13 FGF-19 Decreases Glucose Uptake and Increases Leptin Release from Adipocytes To further investigate the mechanism by which FGF-19 alters metabolism, recombinant human FGF-19 was added to cultures of primary rat adipocytes and glucose uptake and leptin release by the cells was measured. As shown in Figures 8A- B, FGF-19 increases the release of leptin from and decreases the uptake of glucose into primary rat adipocytes.
EXAMPLE 14 Investigation of Glucose Tolerance and Fat Pad Weights on FGF-19 Transgenic Mice Fed High Fat Diets Generally, mice (and humans) on a high fat diet will gain weight and adiposity and will become either glucose intolerant or diabetic. To examine whether exposure to FGF-19 will impact on the adiposity and glucose tolerance cohorts of the transgenic mice and their non transgenic (age and sex matched), littermates were put onto a high fat diet essentially as described by Rebuffe-Scrive et al Metabolism Vol 42, No 11'1993 ppl405-1409 and Surwit et al Metabolism, Vol 44, No 5 1995 pp 645-651 with the modification that the sodium content was normalized with respect to the normal chow (diets prepared by Research Diets Inc. Catalog no. D12330N.
After ten weeks on the either normal mouse chow or on the high fat diet the mice (female transgenic and their non transgenic littermates) were subjected to a glucose tolerance test. Thus each mouse was injected intrapcritoneally with 1.0 mg glucose per kg of body weight and the concentration of glucose present in the blood was measured at intervals following the injection. The graph in Figure 10 shows the glucose levels in the mice and demonstrates that 8/9 of the female non transgenic mice that has been fed high fat diet would be defined as diabetic (2 hour glucose levels greater than 200 mg/dl; (World Book of Diabetes in Practice. Vo] 3; Ed Krall, Elsevier)) whereaas 0/5 of the transgenic mice fed a comparable diet would be considered diabetic.
121 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 01/18210 PCT/US00/06471 The male mice that were fed the high fat diet were sacrificed after being on the diet for either 6 or 10 weeks and the adiposity determined by measuring the weights of specific fat depots. As is shown in Figure 9 the transgenic mice that had been fed a high fat diet were significantly less fat then the non transgenic littermates.
