Definitions
- the present invention relates to new polypeptides and their pharmaceutical use. More particularly, the present invention relates to new polypeptides having a ⁇ -secretase activity, characterized in that they are capable of specifically cleaving the natural precursor of the ⁇ -amyloid peptide (APP).
- APP ⁇ -amyloid peptide
- Alzheimer's disease exhibit characteristic symptoms of memory impairment, loss of intellectual capacity and cognitive functions. These pathological changes are accompanied by neuronal atrophy, significant depletion of a certain type of receptor and also a reduction in synaptic connections.
- This syndrome involves the presence of senile plaques and neurofibrillary degeneration in very large quantities, mainly in the cerebral cortex, the hippocampus, the tonsil nucleus and in cortical blood vessels.
- senile plaques are spherical structures which are slowly established over a decade in the extracellular spaces of the hippocampus, the cortex and other brain regions. Their major constituent is the amyloid ⁇ peptide (A ⁇ ) associated with other abnormal proteins. These structures are surrounded by axons and abnormal neurons.
- a ⁇ amyloid ⁇ peptide
- Neurofibrillary degenerations are due to an accumulation of dense bundles of abnormal fibers in the cytoplasm of certain neurons and mainly pyramidal cells of the cortex. These neurofibrillary tangles are made up of a particular form of the protein tau which, associated with other proteins, gives pairs of helical neurofilaments which disturb the conduction of nerve impulses. Familial forms of this disease have been identified and seem to result from various genetic modifications, all of which cause the abnormal accumulation of the A ⁇ peptide. The latter, which are very heterogeneous, have in particular been associated with various mutations on chromosomes 1,14 and 21. The latter has all the more aroused the interest that it carries the gene coding for the precursor protein of A ⁇ . We therefore understand the early onset (55 years) of Alzheimer's disease in subjects with Down Syndrome (Down's syndrome).
- the human A ⁇ peptide is generated by proteolytic cleavages of its precursor (APP) at the Met 596 -Asp 597 and Val 636 - Ile 637 sites.
- the released molecule consists of 39 (to 42) amino acids, the protein sequence of which is as follows:
- the A ⁇ peptide is a natural product secreted by cells and detectable in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid. Although this peptide is neurotoxic, its production is however not sufficient for the formation of amyloid plaques. A altered "processing" or an overexpression of its precursor would predispose to the deposition of A ⁇ in the brain.
- the primary transcript of the ⁇ -amyloid peptide (APP) precursor undergoes alternative splicing to generate mRNAs encoding at least 5 isoforms of 563, 695, 714, 751 and 770 amino acids (aa), expressed ubiquitously in the tissues and the rate of which differs depending on the cell type.
- APP ⁇ -amyloid peptide
- the APP695 and 751 isoforms are however restricted exclusively to the central and peripheral nervous system (in particular at the level of synapses in astrocytes and neurons) where they can play a role in the physiological activity of synapses.
- the isoforms APP751, APP563 and APP770 contain a 56 a "insert" homologous to the protease inhibitor of the "Kunitz” type.
- the secreted form of 1 ⁇ PP751 is identical to nexin IL, a protease inhibitor involved in the regulation of extracellullary serine proteases.
- APP is a glycoprotein of around 120 kDa with the characteristics of an IL-type surface receptor. Although the actual function of APP has not yet been elucidated, studies have shown that this glycoprotein could play a role. role in the regulation of cell growth as well as in adhesion interactions in inflammation, regeneration and immune response.
- APP isoforms are inserted into the endoplasmic reticulum thanks to their "signal" sequence.
- the precursor is then targeted to the Golgi apparatus where it undergoes various post-translational modifications to be then anchored in the membrane.
- the APP Under the action of different proteases, the APP can then undergo various cleavages (see Figure 1), some of which are predominant: The protease activity, called ⁇ -secretase, cleaves within the sequence
- Protease activity called ⁇ -secretase. cleaves the peptide bond of the 96 5 97 doublet Met -Asp within the precursor to release an APP NH fragment - secreted terminal (designated sAPP ⁇ : soluble APP ⁇ ) completely deleted from A ⁇ .
- the 3rd protease activity could also act between residues Val 6 to Ile 637 of the precursor to generate a secreted APP ⁇ proform containing the ⁇ A.
- a ⁇ ⁇ -amyloid peptide
- proteases from humans, rats and monkeys have been studied by various authors and are believed to be involved in the maturation of the APP precursor.
- these enzymes mention may be made most particularly of serine proteases 1 and 2 (Abraham et al. (1991), Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 174, 790-796; Matsumoto et al. (1994), Biochemistry, 33, 3941-3948; Matsumoto et al. (1994), Neurosciences Letters, 195, 171-174) as well as G-like Cathepsin (Razzaboni et al. (1992), Brain Research, 589, 207-216).
- the present invention therefore results from the identification and characterization by the applicant of polypeptides having a catalytic activity vis-à-vis the precursor of the ⁇ -amyloid peptide (APP) of the ⁇ -secretase type. Unlike the other proteases identified, the polypeptides of the present invention have a specificity of action towards the natural form of APP.

- column 1 represents the membranes not incubated without enzyme
- column 2 represents the membranes incubated at 37 ° C without enzyme
- column 3 corresponds to the membranes incubated at 37 ° C with the polypeptides of the invention having a ⁇ -secretase activity.
- the cells After thawing, the cells, depending on their origin, are cultured either in “DMEM” medium or in “RPMI 1640” medium in the presence of 10% fetal calf serum. These cultures were carried out in 1 liter flasks at 37 ° C. with a renewal of the culture media every 2 to 3 days. Depending on the cell line studied, a period of 2 to 5 months is necessary to obtain a volume of 18 liters of culture medium. The last culture step is done for 48 hours in the absence of fetal calf serum and phenol red. These cell cultures are then centrifuged to recover the supernatant which will be used for the purification of the enzymes.
- the HMCB, U-373 MG, U-138 MG, MRC5 and Hs27 cell lines were cultured in “DMEM” medium while the lines SW 1088, SW 1783, K-562, H9, DAKIKI, THP1, RPMI 1788 and IM-9 were in the “RPMI 1640” environment.
- Enzyme purification The 18 liters of supernatant from each cell culture are concentrated on ULTRASETTE TM membranes (FILTRON) having a cut-off threshold of lOkDa, then the concentration product obtained was used for the purification of the proteolytic activities according to the following protocol: -
- the first step consists in a tangential membrane centrifugation at 7000 rpm. More particularly, the concentration is carried out on an ULTRAFREE® membrane (MILLIPORE) having a cut-off threshold of lOkDa
- an exclusion chromatography is carried out.
- the exclusion chromatography was carried out on a Sephacryl column S-100 (Pharmacia), the exclusion limits of which are 10 3 Da and 10 5 Da.
- - Ion exchange chromatography represents the third step of the process. It was used in particular a Q-Sepharose column (Pharmacia) whose gel consists of strong anions. The column is eluted by a salt gradient from 0 to 1 M using solvent A (25 mM Tris, pH 7.5) and solvent B (25 mM Tris, 1 M NaCl, pH 7.5).
- the penultimate step consists of chromatography of hydrophobic interactions, in particular on a phenyl-sepharose-6 column (Pharmacia) having a high degree of substitution (40 ⁇ mol / g of gel).
- This column was eluted with a 1 to 0 M ammonium sulfate gradient using solvent A (25 mM Tris, (NH 4 ) 1 M SO 4 , pH 7.5) and solvent B (25 mM Tris, pH 7.5) .
- the last step is an exclusion chromatography, carried out in particular on a TSKgel G2000SW column (Interchim), the gel of which consists of rigid supports of silica, grafted with a hydrophilic group.
- the eluent is a 25 mM Tris buffer, pH 7.5 containing 250 mM NaCl.
- the enzymatic activity is determined by measuring the fluorescence of the free AMC chromophore at 460 nm.
- the reaction is stopped by adding 3 ⁇ l of 0.1N HCl, and the enzymatic activity is determined by measuring the optical density at 215 nm of the cleavage fragments previously separated by HPLC.
- the cleavage sites are deduced by determining the sequence of the fragments resulting from the cleavage.
- the percentage inhibition [% 100 (Io-Ij) / Io] of each substrate incubated in the presence of the enzyme was evaluated by measuring the absorbance at 215 nm for a peptide substrate or the fluorescence at 460 nm for the substrate Z-Val-Lys-Met-MCA in the absence (Io) and in the presence (L) of the inhibitor under the same experimental conditions.
- the precursors normal APP (APP-K 595 M 596 ) and APP having the double "Swedish” mutation (APP-N 595 L 596 ) were obtained from membrane extracts of cells of insects infected with baculovirus containing the genes humans coding for these precursors. These membrane extracts, incubated with the polypeptides of the invention having purified ⁇ -secretase activity, are analyzed by immunoblot using the antibody WO-2 (Ida N. et al. (1996) J. Biol Chem 271, 22908- 22914) directed against the first amino acids of the amyloid ⁇ peptide and the monoclonal antibody 22C11 (Boehringer Mannhein; Hilbich C. (1993) Journal of Biochemical Chemistry, 268, 26571-26577) directed against the NH2-terminal motif of the precursor.
- WO-2 Ida N. et al. (1996) J. Biol Chem 271, 22908- 22914
- the purpose of this example is to demonstrate enzymatic activities in human cell lines of subjects not affected by Alzheimer's disease.
- the search for enzymatic activities was carried out using the 22C11 monoclonal antibody to select the cell lines having the capacity to produce measurable amounts of APP at the level of the membrane and in the cell culture medium.
- the monoclonal antibody WO-2 was used to reveal and identify the different APP cleavage sites.
- the 22C11 monoclonal antibody made it possible to select 8 cell lines (HMCB, MRC5, Hs27, SW1088, SW1783, H9, THP1 and IM-9) out of the 13 tested in total.
- the immunoblot analysis also showed a difference in molecular mass between the membrane APP (120 kDa) and the soluble APP (110-100 kDa). This indicates that the precursor has undergone, at its COOH-terminal sequence, one or more enzymatic cleavage (s).
- this approach made it possible to select cell lines having the capacity to produce measurable amounts of APP at the membrane level and in the cell culture medium and to show enzymatic cleavages in the precursor of the A ⁇ peptide.
- a combined analysis (HPLC, amino acid composition and determination of the sequences) of the fragments generated by cleavage of the substrate [KMD] APP (-5, + 5) was carried out in the selected lines. Indeed, after incubation of the substrate [KMD] APP (-5, + 5) with the supernatants, the fragments generated were first separated by HPLC on a reverse phase RPCig column (VYDAC) eluted by a guard of 5-40 % acetonetrile / 0.05% TFA. The sequence and / or the amino acid composition of these fragments have been determined by conventional techniques.
- the purpose of this example is to describe the purification and to highlight the characteristics of the polypeptides of the invention having a ⁇ -secretase activity.
- the THP-1 cell line was chosen, because of its rapid cell cycle making it possible to obtain large quantities of proteins, to be used as a model for the purification of the ⁇ -secretase activity sought after according to the purification protocol described in "Materials and Methods".
- [KMD] APP (-5, + 5) made it possible to obtain a single fraction having a ⁇ -secretase activity. Its characterization was carried out by measuring the molecular weight by electrophoresis on polyacrilamide gel, measuring the isoelectric point, finding the maximum activity as a function of pH as well as the inhibition profile by conventional inhibitors ("Materials and Methods").
- the electrophoresis analysis was carried out on a 4- 20% polyacrylamide gel on Phast-system (Pharmacia) under denaturing or normal conditions and shows a band of molecular mass close to 70 kDa.
- the inhibition profile of this fraction shows that it is a serine protease: the percentages of inhibition calculated being respectively 100% for PMSF, 75% for pefablock, 25% for TPCK, 10% o for benzamidine and 0% for antipapain.
- This example therefore describes the purification process as well as the research and the demonstration of the various characteristics of the polypeptides of the invention having a ⁇ -secretase activity.
- Example 3 Specificity of the ⁇ -secretase activity This example describes the analysis of the ⁇ -secretase activity of the polypeptides of the invention.
- polypeptides of the invention were contacted with the various substrates and the percentage of cleavage of these substrates was calculated. The results are presented in Table 3.
- the residue of the P'i subsite is necessarily Asp or Glu (Part D Tab.3): In fact, the results have shown that the mutation of Asp by Asn or Gln does not eliminate the cleavage of the substrate; moreover, the cleavage occurs at the Ala-Glu site equivalent to the Met-Asp site; in addition, the Ala-Glu pseudo site is only accessible in the natural substrate because, under the same experimental conditions, the rate of cleavage of the APP fragment (1.5) is only 35%.
- this example demonstrates that the polypeptides of the invention isolated previously have a ⁇ -secretase type activity specific for the natural precursor of the amyloid ⁇ peptide.
- Table 1 table of peptides of different sizes mimicking or reproducing the ⁇ -secretase cleavage site, synthesized for use as a substrate in the characterization and enzymatic specificity of the polypeptide according to the invention.
- Table 2 Inhibition profile of the enzymatic activities of the 8 selected cell lines with respect to the Z-Val-Lys-Met-MCA peptide, expressed as a percentage of activity.
- Table 3 results of the analysis of the enzymatic specificity of the polypeptide of the invention using peptides mimicking or reproducing the amino acid sequence of the APP precursor, at the cleavage site.
