Definitions
- the present invention relates to cloned receptors and to methods for screening for, identifying, isolating, characterizing, or quantitating physiologically active materials, such as chemical compounds, by assessing their ability to interact with receptor sites.
- Calcitonin is known to be a regulator of calcium homeostasis, acting principally on bone. It also has a direct action on the kidneys and on gastrointestinal secretory activity, as well as having both direct and indirect effects on the central nervous system.
- Azria, M The Calcitonins: Physiology and Pharmacology (S. Karger AG, Basel 1989) . Effects reported following intraventricular injection of salmon calcitonin include anorexia (Freed et al.. Science 206:850-852, 1979), analgesia (Bragor et al.
- CGRP Tissue-specific RNA processing of calcitonin gene transcripts leads to mRNAs encoding different peptide products, including precursors of calcitonin and the calcitonin gene-related peptides ( ⁇ -CGRP and S-CGRP) .
- ⁇ -CGRP and S-CGRP precursors of calcitonin and the calcitonin gene-related peptides
- CGRP is distributed throughout the central nervous system.
- CGRP is also present in high concentrations in perivascular nerves throughout the body, including in the coronary and cerebral vessels.
- the most striking effect of CGRP is vasodilation, and in healthy volunteers infusion of CGRP causes hypotension and reflex tachycardia.
- CGRP is the principal circulating product of the human calcitonin gene, suggesting that it has an important physiological role in the control of blood flow and vascular tone.
- CGRP Like calcitonin, CGRP also inhibits bone resorption, gastric acid secretion and the perception of pain, albeit less potently.
- Amylin is a recently discovered peptide hormone that is co-secreted with insulin from the pancreas (see, e.g. , Cooper et al. , Diabetalogia 32:104, 1989; Cooper et al. , Diabetes 88:493-496, 1989; Cooper et al. , Biochim. Biophvs. Acta 1014:247-258, 1989).
- Major metabolic effects of amylin reported in vivo include (1) a reduction in insulin-mediated glucose clearance (Molina et al.
- Amylin is 100- to 1000-fold less potent as a vasodilator than the related peptide CGRP. Amylin is also reported to lower plasma calcium in rabbits and rats (Datta et al.. Biochem. Biophvs. Res. Commun. 162:876-881. 1989), although human calcitonin is reported to be more effective than amylin in inducing hypocalcemia.
- amylin Principal therapeutic uses for amylin are those proposed for the treatment of diabetes. It has been determined that type-1 (insulin-dependent) diabetics, in addition to their life-threatening lack of insulin, have a marked amylin deficiency. The treatment of diabetes with amylin or agonists of amylin is described in Cooper, U.S. Patent No. 5,175,145, issued December 29, 1992, for "Treatment of Diabetes Mellitus With Amylin Agonists.” It has also been proposed that excess amylin action contributes to the disordered metabolism in type 2 diabetes, glucose intolerance, insulin resistance and obesity, and the blockade of amylin with amylin antagonists has been identified as an appropriate therapeutic strategy for those conditions. Cooper et al. , International Application No. PCT/US89/00049, "Treatment of Type 2
- Calcitonin and ⁇ -CGRP share common parentage in the calcitonin gene where alternative processing of the primary mRNA transcript leads to the generation of the two distinct peptides, which share only limited sequence homology (about 30% (Amara et al.. Science. 229:1094-1097, 1985).
- The. structure of amylin shows a 43% homology to ⁇ -CGRP, a 46% homology to jS-CGRP, and some similarity to insulin.
- Amylin may be one member of a family of related peptides which include CGRP, insulin, insulin-like growth factors, and the relaxins and which share common genetic heritage (Cooper et al. , Prog. Growth Factor Research 1:99-105, 1989).
- calcitonin and the related peptides CGRP and amylin act via membrane receptors at least some of which serve to activate adenylate cyclase and generate cyclic AMP as an intracellular second messenger.
- Young et al. have shown that amylin works in skeletal muscle via a receptor-mediated mechanism that promotes glycogenolysis, by activating the rate-limiting enzyme for glycogen breakdown, phosphorylase a (Young et al. 281 FEBS Lett. 149, 1991).
- Amylin receptors and receptor preparations are described in Beaumont et al., International Application No.
- calcitonin was 500- to 1000-fold less potent than either rat or human CGRP in competition for CGRP binding sites.
- CGRP was 500- to 1000-fold less potent in competing for calcitonin sites in both brain and renal membranes (Goltzman and Mitchell, Science 227:1343-1345. 1985) , as well as in whole kidney sections (Sexton et al.. Kidnev Int. 32:862-868, 1987).
- Cla receptor is meant a receptor of the amino acid sequence shown as Cla in Fig. 1, i.e.. the deduced 479 amino acid sequence of cDNA clone L2175-D20, and any functional homolog thereof.

- MOPAC mixed oligonucleotide- primed amplification of cDNA
- degenerate oligonucleotide primers corresponding to conserved regions of potentially related sequences are used to amplify homologous sequences by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from cDNA prepared from RNA of tissues or cell lines.
- PCR polymerase chain reaction
- oligonucleotides A312 and A313 corresponding to conserved regions in TM3 and TM7 of the pig calcitonin, opossum PTH/PTHrP, and rat secretin G-protein coupled receptors were used as primers in an attempt to amplify amylin receptor sequences from rat nucleus accumbens poly(A) + RNA.
- PCR amplified products were analyzed by Southern blotting with an oligonucleotide probe (A315) corresponding to a third conserved region of the calcitonin and PTH/PTHrP receptors. The PCR product was gel purified and subjected to a second round of amplification.
- the secondary PCR product was subcloned into pCRlOOO and sequenced.
- An oligo(dT) -primed rat nucleus accumbens cDNA library was subsequently screened for a full-length cDNA sequence corresponding to the PCR product.
- the cDNA library was non-directionally cloned in eukaryotic expression vector pcDNAI and subsequently transformed into E. col i MC1061/P3. Plasmid DNA was prepared from 72 pools each representing -5000 individual library transformants.
- plasmid DNA pools were used as template in a PCR amplification with the A312 and A313 degenerate primer mixtures and products were analyzed by Southern blotting and probing with the A315 oligonucleotide.
- a PCR product -470 bp that hybridized with A315 was amplified in 4 of the 72 pools examined.
- the bacteria corresponding to these pools were screened by colony hybridization using A315 as a probe .and an isolated bacterial transformant was isolated from 2 of the 4 pools. Restriction endonuclease analysis indicated that both rat nucleus accumbens cDNA library clones (pcDNAI-175 and pcDNAI-237) were about 2.5 kb in length.

- the present invention provides novel inexpensive, rapid and physiological methods for screening, identifying, and characterizing potential agonists and antagonists at two novel receptors, the Cla receptor and the Clb receptor, as well as the use of these receptors to identify calcitonin agonists and antagonists, and in agonist and antagonist receptor selectivity screening assays. This includes assessing the relative abilities of candidate agonists and antagonists to compete against relevant peptides for binding to specific Cla or Clb receptor sites.
- the receptor sites used for these and other purposes may be present as isolated receptor-bearing tissues, cells prepared from said receptor bearing tissues, transfected cells expressing said receptor sites, membrane preparations derived from said prepared or transfected cells, or isolated receptor protein preparations, including cloned receptor preparations using recombinant DNA techniques.
- a Cla or Clb receptor assay can be used to determine the concentration of Cla receptor- or Clb receptor- ctive compounds in unknown solutions or mixtures.
- Cla and Clb receptors are assayed as described below.
- a membrane or cell preparation containing a high density of Cla or Clb receptors is incubated with, for example, radiolabeled calcitonin and unlabelled calcitonin.
- a competition curve is generated relating the amount of calcitonin in the assay tube to the inhibition of radiolabelled calcitonin binding produced.
- unlabelled peptide is replaced by a solution containing an unknown amount of calcitonin to be quantified. This solution may be plasma, serum or other fluid, or solid mixture dissolved in assay buffers.
- the unknown solution is preferably added in a volume of less than or equal to about 10% of the final assay volume, so as not to significantly alter the ionic content of the solution. If larger volumes of unknown are used, a solution containing an equivalent salt content is included as a control for effects of altered ionic content on binding.
- Nonspecific binding i.e. , binding of radiolabelled calcitonin in the presence of a high concentration (10"*M) of unlabelled calcitonin, is subtracted from total binding for each sample to yield specific binding.
- the amount of inhibition of specific binding of radiolabelled calcitonin produced by the unknown is compared to the inhibition curve produced by unlabelled calcitonin in order to determine the content of calcitonin or calcitonin receptor-active substances in the unknown sample.
- Methods for performing these calculations are described in several sources, such as in Neurotransmitter Receptor Binding, eds H. Yamamura, S.J. Enna, and M.J. Kuhar (Raven Press, New York, 1991).
- This method is used to quantitate the amount of Cla or Clb receptor active compounds in a known or an unknown sample, and may be used to quantitate Cla or Clb receptor active compounds in plasma or other body fluids and tissues, for use in identifying active metabolites, pharmacokinetics, stability, solubility, or distribution of Cla or Clb receptor agonists and antagonists, calcitonin agonists and antagonists, and amylin agonists and amylin antagonists. It may also be used to identify, isolate and purify peptides having a high affinity for the Cla or Clb receptor.
- a Cla or Clb receptor can also be used in a high throughput screen, optionally utilizing robotic systems such as those known in the art, for identifying compounds which displace, for example, calcitonin from either receptor and, thus, for example, for identifying candidate Cla, Clb, and calcitonin agonists or antagonists.
- the assay can be used to screen, for example, libraries of synthetic compounds, extracts of plants, extracts of animal tissue, extracts of marine organisms, or bacterial or fungal fermentation broths.
- an initial step brings together a Cla or Clb receptor preparation, pre-incubated with radiolabelled calcitonin and a solution of test compound.
- the final concentration of solvent should generally not exceed that which displaces the standard displacement curve of labelled calcitonin by cold calcitonin by 25%, i.e.. shifts the measured IC 50 by less than 25%. This can be evaluated for each selected solvent.
- the test concentration will be about lOOnM, l ⁇ M, or lO ⁇ M depending on the frequency with which positive tests occur.
- a positive will typically be represented by at least about a 20% reduction of specific binding of labelled calcitonin. With broths and extracts, a positive test will be denoted by at least about 20%, 50% or 80% reduction in specific calcitonin binding, according to the frequency of positive tests.
- a suitable assay for evaluating non-specific effects will be a radiolabelled standard reagent for determination of binding to a standard receptor in the vas deferens or tissue being used. Those receptors which are relatively abundant in the tissue and readily assayed should be chosen. Any compound, broth, or extract that tests positive in a Cla or Clb receptor screen, and which also tests positive by the same quantitative criteria in the standard receptor screen is rejected as non-selectively interfering with ligand binding to membrane receptors.
- the potency of interaction with a Cla or Clb receptor and, if relevant, the amylin, CGRP and/or myotonin receptors are determined by measuring the displacement of ligand from the membrane preparations by a range of concentrations of the test compound.
- the desired activity is isolated and purified by art-known methods including HPLC, followed by testing the separated materials to determine which retain the desired activity.
- HPLC HPLC
- its potency at a Cla or Clb, an amylin, a CGRP, myotonin or other receptor can also be determined.
- Art-known methods including NMR, mass spectroscopy, and elemental analysis may be used to make a chemical identification of any isolated material having the desired receptor binding activities.
- a positive testing material can be assessed in a functional assay to assess calcitonin agonist or antagonist activity.
- calcitonin agonist may be determined through inhibition of insulin-stimulated incorporation of labelled glucose into glycogen in rat soleus muscle.
- the material can also be tested for calcitonin antagonist activity in this assay by assessing its ability to restore insulin- stimulated incorporation of labelled glucose into glycogen in rat soleus muscle incubated with 10, 20, 50 or 100 nM rat amylin.
- Calcitonin agonist activity can also be assessed by measuring hypocalcemia analgesia, or anorexia following ij vivo administration (e.g.. Zaidi, M.
- Antagonist activity is measured by assessing the ability of the test compound to block these actions of calcitonin. Also, by applying different concentrations of the test material in these assays, the potency of Cla, Clb, or calcitonin agonist or antagonist action can be determined.
- the test materials are brought together with Cla or Clb responsive membrane or cell systems in which calcitonin changes rates of synthesis of cyclic AMP (cAMP) .
- cAMP cyclic AMP
- Such preparations include membranes prepared from cultured or transfected cell lines with abundant Cla or Clb or amylin receptors, or the cells themselves. Changes in cAMP levels are measured by radioim-munoassay following exposure of the membrane or cell preparations, incubated according to art-known methods. Materials testing positive in displacing calcitonin from Cla or Clb receptors and having no effect on cAMP production can be expected to be antagonists.
- Antagonist action can be further evaluated by incubating various concentrations of the material with calcitonin or a calcitonin agonist and measuring the degree of inhibition of the changes in cAMP evoked by the calcitonin or calcitonin agonist.
- the invention can also be used to screen cell lines, cells disaggregated from tissue, and cells from human or animal blood for Cla. Clb, or calcitonin receptors. These cells will be used as a readily available source for additional Cla or Clb receptor preparations for development of agonists and antagonists of calcitonin.
- Membranes from cells are obtained by homogenization of cells with an instrument such as Polytron (Brinkman Instruments) followed by centrifugation. Membranes so obtained are combined with, e.g.. 125 I-salmon calcitonin, in a buffer system such as that described in the examples below, and are incubated and collected as described in those examples.
- Specific binding of 125 I-salmon calcitonin to the cell membrane is identified by measuring the decrease in binding obtained in the presence of, for example, 10 '7 M salmon calcitonin.
- Cells in which there is a significant difference between total binding (triplicate tubes) and nonspecific binding (triplicate tubes) at the P ⁇ 0.05 level will be used for further study of Cla or Clb receptor function.
- Subcellular membrane fractions obtained by differential or density gradient centrifugation are assayed for specific binding of radiolabelled calcitonin in order to identify the membrane fraction containing the highest density of Cla or Clb receptors per milligram protein (as assayed by Bradford or Lowry protein assays) .
- the membrane fraction with highest receptor density is preferably used for further purification.
- This membrane fraction is collected and treated in a buffered solution with several membrane solubilizing agents, including triton, digitonin, octyl glucoside, deoxycholate, and cholate, at concentrations of from 0.001% to 1% detergent at reduced temperature (4°C) for about 1 hour.
- Protease inhibitors including phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, EDTA, aprotinin are included in the buffer system to prevent receptor degradation during or after solubilization.
- solubilized membranes After treatment of membranes with detergents, unsolubilized membranes are sedimented by centrifugation at high speed (100,000 x g for 1 hour) and resulting supernatants containing solubilized receptors are assayed for binding of radiolabelled calcitonin as described above.
- Solubilized receptors can be collected by filtration on polyethyleneimine-coated filters (Bruns et al. Anal. Biochem. 132:74-81, 1983). Alternatively, solubilized receptors are collected by methods such as precipitation with polyethyleneglycol, gel filtration, or equilibrium dialysis. Binding characteristics (such as affinity for amylin, CGRP and calcitonins) of solubilized receptors are assessed and should match the characteristics of membrane-localized receptors.
- solubilized receptors After determining conditions suitable for solubilizing Cla or Clb receptors and for assaying solubilized receptors, these solubilized receptors are purified away from other solubilized membrane proteins by chromatographic procedures, such as affinity chromatography on supports to which calcitonin has been coupled, ion exchange chromatography, leetin agarose chromatography, gel filtration, and hydrophobic interaction chromatography. Chromatography column eluates are tested for specific Cla or Clb receptor binding to protein content, in order to identify peaks containing receptors and the extent of purification.
- each chromatographic step is tested to determine the extent to which it contributes to receptor purification, as measured by an increase in specific radiolabelled calcitonin or amylin binding per milligram protein. Desired chromatography steps are combined sequentially, using large quantities of starting material, in order to obtain partially or completely purified receptors, as desired.
- Receptors for example, those which have been partially or completely purified by this method may be used to generate Cla or Clb receptor-specific antibodies for use in diagnosis (disease states with altered receptor density, distribution, or antigenicity) and for use in screening, for example, tissues or recombinant libraries for Cla or Clb receptor expression.
- the Cla or Clb receptor sequences can also be used to probe for other Cla or Clb receptor- encoding gene sequences by art-known methods.
- a pair of degenerate oligonucleotides corresponding to conserved regions of the calcitonin, PTH/PTHrP, and secretin receptors were synthesized for use in MOPAC.

- the cell pellet was resu ⁇ pended in ice cold 20 mM HEPES and disrupted twice for 15 sec using a Brinkmann polytron homogenizer on setting number 3.
- the homogenate was then centrifuged at 48,400 x g for 20 min at 4°C and the pellet resuspended in ice cold 20 mM HEPES by brief homogenization. Aliquot ⁇ were fla ⁇ h frozen in a dry ice/ethanol bath and then ⁇ tored at -80°C.
- DNA was sequenced by the dideoxy chain-termination method (Sanger et al.. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 74:5463-5467, 1977) with modified phage T7 DNA polymerase (Sequenase; United States Biochemical ⁇ , Cleveland, OH) .
- RADIOLIGAND BINDING ASSAYS Radioligand studies were carried out in 20 mM N-2- Hydroxyethylpiperazine-N'-2-ethanesulfonic acid (HEPES, Sigma, St. Louis, MO), pH 7.4, containing 1.0 mg/ml BSA (Protease free, Fraction V, Sigma), 1.0 mg/ml bacitracin (Sigma) , 5 ⁇ g/ml bestatin-HCl (Sigma) , 1 ⁇ g/ml phosphoramidon (Sigma) .
- Membranes from COS-7 cells transfected with Cla receptor were thawed and diluted to a concentration of approximately 1.3 ⁇ g protein/ml while membranes from COS-7 cells transfected with Clb receptor (Clb membranes) were thawed and diluted to 13 ⁇ g protein/ml for all binding studies.
- Transfected COS cells from Example 9 were u ⁇ ed to prepare the membrane ⁇ . Protein determinations were made using the Bradford assay (Biorad, Richmond, CA) with BSA as a control.
- Table 1 below indicates the concentration of ligand which produces half-maximal inhibition (IC50) of 12S I-salmon calcitonin binding to membranes from COS cells expres ⁇ ing the indicated receptor. Results are means of IC50s measured in 2-3 separate experiments.
- EXAMPLE 13 ADENYLATE CYCLASE COUPLING Transfected COS cells were cultured in Dulbecco's Minimum Es ⁇ ential medium (Irvine Scientific, Santa Ana, CA) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (Gemini Bioproducts, Calabasa ⁇ , CA) , 1 mg gluco ⁇ e/ml, and 2 mM L-glutamine. Twenty-four hour ⁇ after transfection (described in Example 10), cells were ⁇ ubcultured at 1 x 10 5 cells/0.2 ml medium/well in 96-well tis ⁇ ue culture plate ⁇ (Corning Glass Works, Corning NY). Cells were maintained at 37°C and 5% C0 2 /95% humidified air.
- cyclic AMP cyclic AMP
- medium was replaced with 100 ⁇ l Dulbecco's pho ⁇ phate buffered ⁇ aline (DPBS; Sigma) containing 0.1 mg BSA/ml and 0.05 mg i ⁇ obutylmethyl xanthine/ml, pH 7.3.
- DPBS Dulbecco's pho ⁇ phate buffered ⁇ aline
- DPBS Dulbecco's pho ⁇ phate buffered ⁇ aline
- test substance( ⁇ ) at 2x final concentration ⁇ were added and plates were incubated an additional 25 minutes. The response was halted by acidification with 25 ⁇ l 10% trichloracetic acid, followed by neutralization with 25 ⁇ l 0.8 M Tris (hydroxymethyl) aminomethane.
- Immunoreactive cAMP in supernatants was acetylated and measured using a ⁇ cintillation proximity a ⁇ ay (Amer ⁇ ham, Arlington Heights, IL) . Prior to as ⁇ ay, supernatants were diluted 1:25 in assay buffer and cAMP was acetylated following a protocol provided by the manufacturer.
- Results shown in Figure 8 demonstrate that salmon calcitonin at 10"*M strongly stimulates cAMP synthesis in COS cells expressing either Cla or Clb receptors, but not in vector-transfected control cells. Transfection did not alter /S-adrenegic receptor coupling to adenylate cyclase in COS cell ⁇ , a ⁇ seen by the equal respon ⁇ ivene ⁇ s to isoproterenol in all three cell populations. These result ⁇ indicate that Cla and Clb transcripts encode functional receptors that are positively coupled to adenylate cyclase. Stimulation of adenylate cyclase activity or inhibition of agonist- ⁇ timulated activity in Cla- or Clb-expressing cells can be taken to indicate receptor agoni ⁇ t or antagonist activity, respectively.
