AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The present invention is about the use of erythropoietins to protect, maintain, enhance, or restore the function or viability of erythropoietin-responsive mammalian cells, tissues, or organs. The invention covers the use of erythropoietins for the therapeutic or prophylactic treatment of human diseases that have primarily neurological or peripheral nervous system symptoms, as well as ophthalmic, cardiovascular, respiratory, kidney, urinary, and reproductive diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, and endocrine and metabolic abnormalities. The invention also covers the use of modified erythropoietins, such as asialoerythropoietin or carbohydration-modified erythropoietin, for the therapeutic or prophylactic treatment of these diseases."

Problems solved by technology

Although studies have established that erythropoietin injected intracranially protects neurons against hypoxic neuronal injury, intracranial administration is an impractical and unacceptable route of administration for therapeutic use, particularly for normal individuals.

Erythropoietin Crosses the Blood-Cerebrospinal Fluid Tight Barrier

[0180]Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were anesthetized and administered recombinant human erythropoietin intraperitoneally. Cerebrospinal fluid was sampled from the cisterna magna at 30 minute intervals up to 4 hrs and the erythropoietin concentration determined using a sensitive and specific enzyme-linked immunoassay. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the baseline erythropoietin concentration in CSF is 8 mU / ml. After a delay of several hours, the levels of erythropoietin measured in the CSF begin to rise and by 2.5 hours and later are significantly different from the baseline concentration at the p<0.01 level. The peak level of about 100 mU / ml is within the range known to exert protective effects in vitro (0.1 to 100 mU / ml). The time to peak occurs at about 3.5 hrs, which is delayed significantly from the peak serum levels (less than 1 hr). The results of this experiment illustrate that significant levels of erythropoietin c...

Maintenance of Function in Heart Prepared for Transplantation

[0181]Wistar male rats weighing 300 to 330 g are given erythropoietin (5000 U / kg body weight) or vehicle 24 h prior to removal of the heart for ex vivo studies, done in accordance with the protocol of Delcayre et al., 1992, Amer. J. Physiol. 263:H1537-45. Animals are sacrificed with pentobarbital (0.3 mL), and intravenously heparinized (0.2 mL). The hearts are initially allowed to equilibrate for 15 min The left ventricular balloon is then inflated to a volume that gives an end-diastolic pressure of 8 mm Hg. A left ventricular pressure-volume curve is constructed by incremental inflation of the balloon volume by 0.02 ml aliquots. Zero volume is defined as the point at which the left ventricular end-diastolic pressure is zero. On completion of the pressure-volume curve, the left ventricular balloon is deflated to set end-diastolic pressure back to 8 mmHg and the control period is pursued for 15 min, after check of coronary ...

Erythropoietin Protects Myocardium from Ischemic Injury

[0183]Adult male rats given recombinant human erythropoietin (5000 U / kg body weight) 24 hrs previously are anesthetized and prepared for coronary artery occlusion. An additional dose of erythropoietin is given at the start of the procedure and the left main coronary artery occluded for 30 minutes and then released. The same dose of erythropoietin is given daily for one week after treatment. The animals are then studied for cardiac function. As FIG. 3 illustrates, animals receiving a sham injection (saline) demonstrated a large increase in the left end diastolic pressure, indicative of a dilated, stiff heart secondary to myocardial infarction. In contradistinction, animals receiving erythropoietin suffered no decrement in cardiac function, compared to sham operated controls (difference significant at the p<0.01 level).

Abstract

Methods and compositions are provided for protecting or enhancing an erythropoietin-responsive cell, tissue, organ or body part function or viability in vivo, in situ or ex vivo in mammals, including human beings, by systemic or local administration of an erythropoietin receptor activity modulator, such as an erythropoietin or a modified erythropoietin.

Description

[0001]The present application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 10 / 185,841 filed Jun. 26, 2002, which claims the benefit of priority of PCT application no. PCT / US01 / 49479 filed Dec. 28, 2001 and provisional application No. 60 / 259,245 filed Dec. 29, 2000 under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e)(1), all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]For many years, the only clear physiological role of erythropoietin had been its control of the production of red blood cells. Recently, several lines of evidence suggest that erythropoietin, as a member of the cytokine superfamily, performs other important physiologic functions which are mediated through interaction with the erythropoietin receptor (erythropoietin-R). These actions include mitogenesis, modulation of calcium influx into smooth muscle cells and neural cells, and effects on intermediary metabolism. It is believed that erythropoietin provides compensatory responses that serve to ...
