AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing IL-1Ra compositions face challenges with stability, half-life, and precise localization and retention at the site of action, leading to inefficiencies in treating IL-1 receptor-mediated conditions.

Method used

A fusion protein comprising IL-1Ra and an extracellular matrix-binding peptide, such as PIGF, is developed to enhance binding affinity and controlled release, allowing for prolonged retention and targeted delivery.

Benefits of technology

The fusion protein exhibits significantly improved retention and activity at the site of action, promoting enhanced wound healing and bone regeneration by modulating macrophage polarization and growth factor signaling.

Abstract

The present invention provides fusion proteins comprising an interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) and an extracellular matrix (ECM)-binding peptide that specifically binds to one or more or all of the extracellular matrix proteins selected from the group consisting of fibrinogen, fibronectin, vitronectin, tenascin-C, and heparan sulfate, and uses of the fusion proteins to treat conditions in which IL-1Ra administration is beneficial or in which IL-1Ra signaling needs to be attenuated, to enhance tissue regeneration, in particular bone regeneration and / or wound repair, or to treat wounds, burns, and disorders of muscle, cartilage, tendon, and bone, to enhance the regenerative activity of growth factor administration, or to reduce inflammation or hyposensitivity of cells to growth factor stimulation.
