Definitions

  • the endometrium is the mucous lining of the uterine cavity.
  • the endometrium is the organ in the body that shows the greatest changes under the influence of the sex hormones, oestradiol and progesterone.
  • the endometrium proliferates until progesterone from the corpus luteum transforms the oestrogen-primed proliferative endometrium to a secretory phase endometrium. In due course this is followed by shedding of the fully transformed endometrium during the menstruation, and a new cycle will begin.
  • endometrial status is assessed by histological and biochemical analysis of endometrial biopsies. This is time-consuming, expensive and causes discomfort for the woman. It would be highly desirable to identify biochemical markers which could be measured in body fluids reflecting the endometrial status, obviating the need for endometrial biopsies . The detection of such markers in histological samples would also however be advantageous as an additional method of recognising the histological status of such samples .
  • references to the proteins herein include references to modified forms of the proteins and derivatives of the proteins, including but not restricted to glycosylated, phosphorylated, acetylated, methylated or lipidated forms thereof.
  • the invention provides a method of characterising a biological sample comprising detecting or quantitating therein one or more proteins produced by the endometrium in increased amounts in hyperplasia or in adenocarcinoma as shown by 2D gel electrophoresis comparison of cell lysates of endometrial biopsies from normal endometrium and endometrium showing hyperplasia or adenocarcinoma, excluding variations due to the menstrual cycle, or detecting or quantitating a fragment or breakdown product thereof, or a nucleic acid coding therefor, or an antibody thereto.
  • Said protein, fragment, breakdown product, antibody or nucleic acid may preferably be detected in a body fluid sample but may also be detailed in other forms of sample such as histological samples or cytological samples .
  • the invention includes an immunological binding partner specifically reactive with a protein as defined above with a fragment or breakdown product thereof or with a nucelic acid coding therefor.
  • the invention includes also an assay kit for use m such an analysis method comprising an immunological binding partner as described.
  • This aspect of the invention has resulted from studies aiming to detect endometrial proteins with increased synthesis in endometrial adenocarcinoma as compared to the synthesis during the normal menstrual cycle; to detect endometrial proteins with increased synthesis in endometrial hyperplasia as compared to the synthesis during the normal menstrual cycle; and to detect proteins showing a cycle-related expression during the normal menstrual cycle.
  • the invention relates to the discovery of markers of the "proliferative" phase of the human endometrium.
  • a protein marker for the "secretory" phase of the endometrium has been previously described, see US-A-4 , 489, 166. No similar marker has been described for the proliferative phase although certain candidate proteins were described in Ref . 1.
  • the human endometrium Under influence of the sex hormones, oestradiol and progesterone, the human endometrium undergoes cyclical variation with an oestrogen-dominated phase, i.e. the proliferative phase, an ovulation phase, i.e. the interval phase, a progesterone-dominated phase, i.e. the secretory phase, and finally the endometrium is shed, i.e. the menstrual phase.
  • an oestrogen-dominated phase i.e. the proliferative phase
  • an ovulation phase i.e. the interval phase
  • a progesterone-dominated phase i.e. the secretory phase
  • the endometrium is shed, i.e. the menstrual phase.
  • the same cyclical variation of the endometrium is seen in postmenopausal women receiving sequentially combined hormone replacement therapy.
  • a method of characterising a biological sample comprising detecting or quantitating therein one or more proteins produced by the endometrium in increased amounts during the proliferative phase of the endometrium as shown in 2D gel elctrophoresis comparison of cell lysates of endometrial biopsies from normal endometrium in its proliferative and secretory phases and characterised by one of the following combinations of molecular weight and pi values : -
  • Such a method may preferably be for detecting the phase of the endometrium.
  • This aspect of the invention includes a method of determining the proliferative/secretory phase status of the endometrium comprising the quantitative or qualitative measurement in a sample of any one or more of the proteins defined above or a breakdown product or fragment thereof . It also includes an immunological binding partner for any of the said proteins, breakdown products or fragments or a cell line producing such a binding partner.
  • the sequences and properties of proteins discussed above relate to human proteins, the assay procedures of the invention may be practised on samples arising from other species.
  • references to proteins herein should be understood to include proteins having a degree of homology of at least 60% with the given amino acid sequences irrespective of any modifications of said amino acids.
  • modified amino acids such as phosphorylated, acetylated, amidated, methylated, glycosylated or lipidated derivatives of an amino acid should thus be considered to be the same as the amino acid without any such modification.
  • modified amino acids such as phosphorylated, acetylated, amidated, methylated, glycosylated or lipidated derivatives of an amino acid should thus be considered to be the same as the amino acid without any such modification.
  • Such peptides may be derived from similar proteins from other species, e.g. other mammals such as mouse, rabbit, guinea pig, pig, or cow or may be entirely or predominantly of synthetic origin.
  • the degree of homology may be advantageously be at least 65%, or at least 70%. Under certain circumstances, it is advantageous that the degree of homology is even higher such as at least 80% or at least 90%.
  • Other DNA sequences which encode substantially the same amino acid sequence as a gene encoding a marker protein, i.e. a marker gene may be used in the practice of the present invention. These include, but are not limited to, allelic genes and homologous genes from other species.
  • Nucleic acid fragments comprising a nucleotide sequence which codes for a protein described above or a peptide derived from it as well as nucleic acid fragments which hybridise with these nucleic acid fragments or a part thereof under stringent hybridisation conditions, e.g. 5 mM monovalent ions (O.lxSSC), neutral pH and 65°C are important aspects of the invention.
  • stringent hybridisation conditions e.g. 5 mM monovalent ions (O.lxSSC), neutral pH and 65°C are important aspects of the invention.
  • the term "highly stringent”, when used in conjunction with hybrisidation conditions, is as defined in the art, i.e. 5-10°C under the melting point T m , cf, Sambrook et al, 1989, pages 11.45 - 11.49.
  • nucleic acid is meant a polynucleotide of high molecular weight which can occur as either DNA or RNA and may be either single-stranded or double-stranded.
  • the invention relates to a binding means which specifically binds to a relevant protein or peptide or nucleic acid fragment as described above.
  • the invention relates to an antibody which specifically binds to a relevant protein or peptide or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, i.e. a polyclonal antibody, a monoclonal antibody, chimeric antibody, single chain antibody fragment, Fab and Fab' fragments, and an Fab expression library.
  • both monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies will be useful in providing the basis for one or more assays to detect relevant peptides and proteins.
  • Antibodies which are directed against epitopes that are specific for the proteins will be most useful as cross reaction will be minimised therewith.
  • assay methods and kits may be produced according to standard methodology.
  • the proteins may be obtained in purified form, either by extraction from tissues or by synthesis, and antibodies may be raised thereto or to characterising peptide sequences thereof. Standard assay formats employing such antibodies may be utilised according to the invention.

It was possible to study proteins with iso-electric points ranging from 3.5 to 11 and relative molecular weights ranging from 10 to 300 kDa. After electrophoresis the gels were fixed and treated for fluorography . The fluorograms of the 2D gel electrophoresis were subjected to quantitative analysis by computer-aided analysis, by which the density of each spot was quantified, the fluorogram patterns were matched i.e. numbers were assigned to each spot and the same spot was given the same number on all the fluorograms.

Selected menstrual cycle-related proteins were excised from several 2D gels, concentrated by ID sodium dodecylsulphate polyacrylamide gel electro- horesis, and cleaved in situ by trypsin. The tryptic fragments were extracted and separated by reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography. Finally, the partial amino- terminal amino acid sequence of selected tryptic fragments were determined for each protein. For identification the amino acid sequences of the tryptic fragments were compared to previously reported sequences by searching in databases .
