Embodiment 1-F

[0090] Example 1 - Combination of FGF-18 and IL-6 Inhibitors

[0091] method:

[0092] BaF3 / FGFR3c bioassay: 1x10 7 cells at 75cm 2 Inoculate 20 mL of assay medium in flasks for 24 h at 37 °C, 5% CO 2 , for the IL-3 starvation step. On the day of the experiment, 20,000 cells / well were seeded in 50 μL of assay medium in a 96-well plate containing 0.1, 1, 10, 100, 1000, and 10,000 ng / mL of CNTO328 or 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1 , 10 and 100 ng / mL of PMP6B6 with or without 100 ng / mL spfermin. As a control, cells were also cultured with 100 ng / mL of spfermin alone (positive control, CTR+ on the graph), BMM2 1 / 2200 or without any compound (both are negative controls, CTR- on the graph). All conditions were achieved with N=6. Cells at 37°C, 5% CO 2 After culturing for 2 days, the metabolic activity was measured with WST-1 reagent (Roche).

Embodiment 2-F

[0105] Example 2 - Combination of FGF-18 and IL-6 receptor inhibitors

[0106] method:

[0107] BaF3 / FGFR3c bioassay: The same method and conditions as described in Example 1 were used. On the day of the test, 20,000 cells / well were inoculated in 50 μL of test medium in a 96-well plate containing 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10 or 100 μg / mL of tocilizumab (Roche), And contain or not contain 100ng / mL spfermin. Cells cultured with (CTR+) or without (CTR-) spfermin and in excipients of the tocilizumab formulation (15 mM sodium phosphate, 0.5 mg / mL polysorbate 80, 50 mg / mL sucrose, pH 6, 5. Controls were achieved in the presence of a 1 / 200 dilution in culture medium to correspond to the highest tocilizumab concentration). All conditions were achieved with N=6. Cells at 37°C, 5% CO 2 After culturing for 2 days, the metabolic activity was measured with WST-1 reagent (Roche).

Embodiment 3-F

[0116] Example 3 - Combination of FGF-18 and NGF Inhibitors

[0117] method:

[0118] BaF3 / FGFR3c bioassay: The same method and conditions as described in Example 1 were used. On the day of the assay, 20,000 cells / well were seeded in 96-well plates in 50 μL of assay medium containing 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, 100, or 1000 nM of tanezumab with or without 100ng / mL spfermin. Positive control (CTR+) was achieved by cells incubated with 100 ng / mL sprifermin in the absence of tanizumab. All conditions were achieved with N=6. Cells at 37°C, 5% CO 2 After culturing for 2 days, the metabolic activity was measured with WST-1 reagent (Roche).

[0119] result( Figure 7 ):

[0120] Tanizumab had no effect on cell proliferation and did not interfere with spruferin. Increases in tanizumab concentration did not affect cell proliferation and the O.D. remained at 0 when spfermin was not administered. In the presence of spfermin, BaF3 / FGFR3 cell proliferation was increased, resulting in ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to the use of an FGF-18 compound in combination with a further active ingredient, selected from the group of an inhibitor of IL-6, an inhibitor of IL-6 receptor, an inhibitor of NGF or a botulinum toxin compound. Said composition can be used for the treatment of a cartilage disorder such as osteoarthritis or cartilage injury.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the use of FGF-18 compounds in combination with other active ingredients selected from IL-6 inhibitors, IL-6 receptor inhibitors, NGF inhibitors or botulinum toxin compounds. The composition can be used to treat cartilage diseases, such as osteoarthritis or cartilage damage. Background technique [0002] Cartilage is composed of chondrocytes (cells derived from mesenchymal cells) dispersed in a matrix (a firm, gel-like substance). The cartilage matrix is ​​produced by these cells and mainly includes type II collagen fibers (except for fibrocartilage which also contains type I collagen fibers), proteoglycans and elastin fibers. Cartilage is found in joints, ribs, ears, nose, throat, windpipe, and intervertebral discs, among other places. There are three main types of cartilage: hyaline, elastic, and fibrocartilage, which offer different functional properties according to their histological morphology. For example, art...
