AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The chimera protein retains vascular endothelial cell growth activity with reduced antigenicity, making it a safer and more effective option for vascularization therapy by minimizing immune response and maintaining therapeutic efficacy.

Problems solved by technology

These diseases not only impart a great deal of pain to patients but also often lead patients to death.
Monocytes and macrophage cells are known to secrete various cytokines and the like to induce inflammation, and are likely to disturb vascularization therapy.

Cells and Culture Conditions

[0113]Ex-Cell 400 (JRH Biosciences, Lenexa, Kans.) was used as a culture solution for Sf9 insect cells (Invitrogen, CA, USA). NIH3T3 mouse fibroblast and a cell strain NIH3T3-KDR which strongly expresses a human VEGF receptor, KDR (VEGFR-2), were used in the experiment for assaying the KDR autophosphorylation by ligand binding. The NIH3T3-KDR cell was produced by Sawano et al. (Sawano A. et al. Cell growth and Differentiation, 7, 213-221, 1996). The NIH3T3 cell and the NIH3T3-KDR cell were maintained in a medium obtained by adding 10% bovine serum, 2 mM L-glutamine, and 200 μg / ml G418 (Geneticin; Life Technologies, Inc., Grand Island, N.Y.) to Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM, Nissui, Tokyo). Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC, Morinaga, Tokyo) were maintained in HUVE culture medium (Morinaga, Tokyo) and used in the assay for the endothelial cell growth. Recombinant human VEGF165 was forcibly expressed in the Sf9 cells by baculovirus sy...

Production of Mutant Chimera VEGF-EN27 Proteins

VEGF-E-NP, VEGF-E-CP, VEGF-E-NP / CP

[0114]The following three types of VEGF-EN27 / human PIGF-1 (hereinafter referred to as “hPIGF-1”) chimera proteins were produced (FIG. 2):

[0115](1) chimera protein VEGF-E-NP prepared by substituting 34 amino acid residues at the amino terminus of VEGF-EN27 with 40 amino acid residues at the amino terminus of hPIGF-1;

[0116](2) VEGF-E-CP prepared by substituting 18 amino acid residues at the carboxyl terminus of VEGF-EN27 with 21 amino acid residues at the carboxyl terminus of hPIGF-1; and

[0117](3) VEGF-E-NP / CP prepared by substituting both the amino and carboxyl terminuses of VEGF-EN27 with those of hPIGF-1.

[0118]The above three types of chimera proteins were fused with histidine tags to simplify the purification. The method in which DNA encoding each chimera protein was prepared and subcloned into vector pUC18 is described below.

[0119]The nucleotide sequence and the amino acid sequence of VEGF-E-His are ...

Preparation of VEGF-E Chimera Protein

[0124]By using DNAs of pVL3E-CP, pVL3E-NP and pVL3E-NP / CP and Baculogold (Pharmingen, San Diego, Calif.) of baculovirus DNA, transfection into Sf9 cells was performed by lipofectin met Recombinant viruses having DNA encoding the chimera protein were amplified by repeating incubation for 3 to 4 days. In order to express the chimera protein, infection with the recombinant virus Sf9 cells was carried out at the multiplicity of infection (MOI) (i.e., the number of virus particles per cell) of 10. After the incubation for 3 days, a culture solution to which the chimera protein had been secreted was collected.

[0125]Subsequently, the culture solution was concentrated. In order to concentrate 150 ml of culture solution to 15 ml, an agitation-type ultrafilter device (MILLIPORE, USA) was used. The concentrate was subjected to dialysis in 20 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 8.0), 10 mM imidazole, 300 mM NaCl, and 20% glycerol in order to negatively charge the...

Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a chimera VEGF-E having a reduced antigenicity while maintaining the activity of VEGF-E. The present invention provides a chimera protein having an activity of growing vascular endothelial cells, which is obtained by substituting a part of the sequence of a VEGF analogous protein having an activity of vascularization that binds to KDR (VEGF receptor-2) but does not bind to Flt-1 (VEGF, receptor-1) with a corresponding sequence of a human-derived VEGF analogous protein.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a divisional of application Ser. No. 10 / 343,825 which is a national stage of PCT / JP01 / 06856, filed Aug. 9, 2001, which claims priority to Japanese Application No. 2000-242629, filed Aug. 10, 2000. The disclosures of application Ser. No. 10 / 343,825 and PC / JP01 / 06856 are incorporated by reference herein in their entireties.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present invention relates to chimera vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF). More particularly, the present invention relates to a chimera protein having an activity of growing vascular endothelial cells, which is obtained by substituting a part of the sequence of a VEGF analogous protein having an activity of vascularization that binds to KDR (VEGF receptor-2) but does not bind to Flt-1 (VEGF receptor-1) with a corresponding sequence of a human-derived VEGF analogous protein. The present invention also relates to a medicament comprising the chimera protein, DNA encoding th...
