Definitions

  • the present invention is directed to compositions and methods for using the mixed calcium/sodium salt of inositol-tripyrophosphate (ITPP-Ca/Na) to enhance oxygen delivery by red blood cells.
  • ITPP-Ca/Na is an allosteric effector of hemoglobin which has the ability to cross the plasma membrane of red blood cells and lower the oxygen affinity of the hemoglobin of red blood cells.
  • the present invention is further directed to the use of ITPP-Ca/Na to inhibit angiogenesis and enhance radiation sensitivity of hypoxic tumors.
  • the present invention is further directed to the use of ITPP-Ca/Na to enhance the partial pressure of oxygen (PO 2 ) in hypoxic tumors.
  • blood In the vascular system of an adult human being, blood has a volume of about 5 to 6 liters. Approximately one half of this volume is occupied by cells, including red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and blood platelets. Red blood cells comprise the majority of the cellular components of blood. Plasma, the liquid portion of blood, is approximately 90 percent water and 10 percent various solutes. These solutes include plasma proteins, organic metabolites and waste products, and inorganic compounds.
  • red blood cells The major function of red blood cells is to transport oxygen from the lungs to the tissues of the body, and transport carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs for removal. Very little oxygen is transported by the blood plasma because oxygen is only sparingly soluble in aqueous solutions. Most of the oxygen carried by the blood is transported by the hemoglobin of the erythrocytes. Erythrocytes in mammals do not contain nuclei, mitochondria or any other intracellular organelles, and they do not use oxygen in their own metabolism. Red blood cells contain about
  • hemoglobin 35 percent by weight hemoglobin, which is responsible for binding and transporting oxygen.
  • Hemoglobin is a protein having a molecular weight of approximately 64,500 daltons. It contains four polypeptide chains and four heme prosthetic groups in which iron atoms are bound in the ferrous state.
  • Normal globin the protein portion of the hemoglobin molecule, consists of two alpha chains and two beta chains. Each of the four chains has a characteristic tertiary structure in which the chain is folded.
  • the four polypeptide chains fit together in an approximately tetrahedral arrangement, to constitute the characteristic quaternary structure of hemoglobin.
  • There is one heme group bound to each polypeptide chain which can reversibly bind one molecule of molecular oxygen. When hemoglobin combines with oxygen, oxyhemoglobin is formed. When oxygen is released, the oxyhemoglobin is reduced to deoxyhemoglobin.
  • oxygen to tissues depends upon a number of factors including, but not limited to, the volume of blood flow, the number of red blood cells, the concentration of hemoglobin in the red blood cells, the oxygen affinity of the hemoglobin and, in certain species, on the molar ratio of intraerythrocytic hemoglobins with high and low oxygen affinity.
  • the oxygen affinity of hemoglobin depends on four factors as well, namely: (1) the partial pressure of oxygen; (2) the pH; (3) the concentration of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (DPG) in the hemoglobin; and (4) the concentration of carbon dioxide.
  • DPG 2,3-diphosphoglycerate
  • the effect of the partial pressure of oxygen and the pH on the ability of hemoglobin to bind oxygen is best illustrated by examination of the oxygen saturation curve of hemoglobin.
  • An oxygen saturation curve plots the percentage of total oxygen-binding sites of a hemoglobin molecule that are occupied by oxygen molecules when solutions of the hemoglobin molecule are in equilibrium with different partial pressures of oxygen in the gas phase.
  • the oxygen saturation curve for hemoglobin is sigmoid.
  • binding the first molecule of oxygen increases the affinity of the remaining hemoglobin for binding additional oxygen molecules.
  • a plateau is approached at which each of the hemoglobin molecules is saturated and contains the upper limit of four molecules of oxygen.
  • the partial pressure of oxygen in the air spaces is approximately 90 to 100 mm Hg and the pH is also high relative to normal blood pH (up to 7.6). Therefore, hemoglobin will tend to become almost maximally saturated with oxygen in the lungs. At that pressure and pH, hemoglobin is approximately 98 percent saturated with oxygen.
  • the partial pressure of oxygen is only about 25 to 40 mm Hg and the pH is also nearly neutral (about 7.2 to 7.3). Because muscle cells use oxygen at a high rate, thereby lowering the local concentration of oxygen, the release of some of the bound oxygen to the tissue is favored.
  • hemoglobin As the blood passes through the capillaries in the muscles, oxygen will be released from the nearly saturated hemoglobin in the red blood cells into the blood plasma and then into the muscle cells. Hemoglobin will release about a fourth of its bound oxygen as it passes through the muscle capillaries, so that when it leaves the muscle, it will be only about 75 percent saturated. In general, the hemoglobin in the venous blood leaving the tissue cycles between about 65 and 97 percent saturation with oxygen in its repeated circuits between the lungs and the peripheral tissues. Thus, oxygen partial pressure and pH function together to effect the release of oxygen by hemoglobin.
  • DPG 2,3-diphosphoglycerate
  • DPG is the normal physiological effector of hemoglobin in mammalian erythrocytes. DPG regulates the oxygen-binding affinity of hemoglobin in the red blood cells in relationship to the oxygen partial pressure in the lungs. The higher the concentration of DPG in the cell, the lower the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen.
  • concentration of DPG in the erythrocytes is higher than in normal individuals. For example, at high altitudes the partial pressure of oxygen is significantly less. Correspondingly, the partial pressure of oxygen in the tissues is less.
  • the DPG level in the red blood cells increases, causing more DPG to be bound and the oxygen affinity of the hemoglobin to decrease. Increases in the DPG level of red cells also occur in patients suffering from hypoxia. This adjustment allows the hemoglobin to release its bound oxygen more readily to the tissues to compensate for the decreased oxygenation of hemoglobin in the lungs.
  • the reverse change occurs when people are acclimated to high altitudes and descend to lower altitudes.
  • hemoglobin As normally isolated from blood, hemoglobin contains a considerable amount of DPG. When hemoglobin is "stripped" of its DPG, it shows a much higher affinity for oxygen. When DPG is increased, the oxygen binding affinity of hemoglobin decreases. A physiologic allosteric effector such as DPG is therefore essential for the normal release of oxygen from hemoglobin in the tissues.
  • inositol hexaphosphate IHP
  • IHP inositol hexaphosphate
  • DPG can be replaced by IHP, which is far more potent than DPG in reducing the oxygen affinity of hemoglobin.
  • IHP has a 1000-fold higher affinity to hemoglobin than DPG (R. E. Benesch et al., Biochemistry, Vol. 16, pages 2594-2597 (1977)) and increases the P 50 of hemoglobin up to values of 96.4 mm, Hg at pH 7.4, and 37 degrees C. (J. Biol. Chem., Vol. 250, pages 7093-7098 (1975)).
  • the oxygen release capacity of mammalian red blood cells can be enhanced by introducing certain allosteric effectors of hemoglobin into erythrocytes, thereby decreasing the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen and improving the oxygen economy of the blood. This phenomenon suggests various medical applications for treating individuals who are experiencing lowered oxygenation of their tissues due to the inadequate function of their lungs or circulatory system.
  • encapsulation methods include osmotic pulse (swelling) and reconstitution of cells, controlled lysis and resealing, incorporation of liposomes, and electroporation.
  • Current methods of electroporation make the procedure commercially impractical on a scale suitable for commercial use.
  • U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,192,869, 4,321,259, and 4,473,563 to Nicolau et al. describe a method whereby fluid-charged lipid vesicles are fused with erythrocyte membranes, depositing their contents into the red blood cells. In this manner, it is possible to transport allosteric effectors, such as IHP into erythrocytes, where due to its much higher binding constant IHP replaces DPG at its binding site in hemoglobin.
  • IHP is dissolved in a phosphate buffer until the solution is saturated and a mixture of lipid vesicles is suspended in the solution.
  • the suspension is then subjected to ultrasonic treatment or an injection process, and then centrifuged.
  • the upper suspension contains small lipid vesicles containing IHP, which are then collected.
  • Erythrocytes are added to the collected suspension and incubated, during which time the lipid vesicles containing IHP fuse with the cell membranes of the erythrocytes, thereby depositing their contents into the interior of the erythrocyte.
  • the modified erythrocytes are then washed and added to plasma to complete the product.
  • the drawbacks associated with the liposomal technique include poor reproducibility of the IHP concentrations incorporated in the red blood cells and significant hemolysis of the red blood cells following treatment. Additionally, commercialization is not practical because the procedure is tedious and complicated.
  • the technique is best characterized as a continuous flow dialysis system, which functions in a manner similar to the osmotic pulse technique. Specifically, the primary compartment of at least one dialysis element is continuously supplied with an aqueous suspension of erythrocytes, while the secondary compartment of the dialysis element contains an aqueous solution which is hypotonic with respect to the erythrocyte suspension. The hypotonic solution causes the erythrocytes to lyse.
  • the erythrocyte lysate is then contacted with the biologically active substance to be incorporated into the erythrocyte.
  • the osmotic and/or oncotic pressure of the erythrocyte lysate is increased and the suspension of resealed erythrocytes is recovered.
  • a related technique involving lyophilization and reconstitution of red blood cells is disclosed. As part of the process of reconstituting the red blood cells, the addition of various polyanions, including IHP, is described.
  • osmotic pulse technique In practicing the osmotic pulse technique, a supply of packed red blood cells is suspended and incubated in a solution containing a compound which readily diffuses into and out of the cells, the concentration of the compound being sufficient to cause diffusion thereof into the cells so that the contents of the cells become hypertonic. Next, a trans-membrane ionic gradient is created by diluting the solution containing the hypertonic cells with an essentially isotonic aqueous medium in the presence of at least one desired agent to be introduced, thereby causing diffusion of water into the cells with a consequent swelling and an increase in permeability of the outer membranes of the cells.
  • This "osmotic pulse” causes the diffusion of water into the cells and a resultant swelling of the cells which increase the permeability of the outer cell membrane to the desired agent.
  • the increase in permeability of the membrane is maintained for a period of time sufficient only to permit transport of at least one agent into the cells and diffusion of the compound out of the cells.
  • Polyanions which may be used in practicing the osmotic pulse technique include pyrophosphate, tripolyphosphate, phosphorylated inositols, 2,3- diphosphoglycerate (DPG), adenosine triphosphate, heparin, and polycarboxylic acids which are water-soluble, and non-disruptive to the lipid outer bilayer membranes of red blood cells.
  • DPG 2,3- diphosphoglycerate
  • adenosine triphosphate 2,3- diphosphoglycerate
  • heparin heparin
  • polycarboxylic acids which are water-soluble, and non-disruptive to the lipid outer bilayer membranes of red blood cells.
  • the osmotic pulse technique has several shortcomings including low yield of encapsulation, incomplete resealing, loss of cell content and a corresponding decrease in the life span of the cells.
  • the technique is tedious, complicated and unsuited to automation. For these reasons, the osmotic pulse technique has had little commercial success.
  • Electroporation has been used for encapsulation of foreign molecules in different cell types, including IHP in red blood cells, as described in Mouneimne, et al., "Stable rightward shifts of the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve induced by encapsulation of inositol hexaphosphate in red blood cells using electroporation," FEBS, Vol. 275, No. 1 , 2, pp. 1 17-120 (1990). Also, see U.S. Patent No. 5,612,207.
  • Angiogenesis is the generation of new blood vessels into a tissue or organ and is related to oxygen tension in the tissues. Under normal physiological conditions, humans and animals undergo angiogenesis only in very specific, restricted situations. For example, angiogenesis is normally observed in wound healing, fetal and embryonal development, and formation of the corpus luteum, endometrium and placenta.
  • Angiogenesis is controlled through a highly regulated system of angiogenic stimulators and inhibitors.
  • the control of angiogenesis is altered in certain disease states and, in many cases, pathological damage associated with the diseases is related to uncontrolled angiogenesis.
  • Both controlled and uncontrolled angiogenesis are thought to proceed in a similar manner.
  • Endothelial cells and pericytes surrounded by a basement membrane, form capillary blood vessels.
  • Angiogenesis begins with the erosion of the basement membrane by enzymes released by endothelial cells and leukocytes. Endothelial cells, lining the lumen of blood vessels, then protrude through the basement membrane.
  • Angiogenic stimulants induce the endothelial cells to migrate through the eroded basement membrane.
  • the migrating cells form a "sprout" off the parent blood vessel where the endothelial cells undergo mitosis and proliferate.
  • the endothelial sprouts merge with each other to form capillary loops, creating a new blood vessel.
  • Persistent, unregulated angiogenesis occurs in many disease states, tumor metastases, and abnormal growth by endothelial cells.
  • the diverse pathological disease states in which unregulated angiogenesis is present have been grouped together as angiogenic-dependent or angiogenic-associated diseases.
  • Tumor 'take' has occurred, every increase in tumor cell population must be preceded by an increase in new capillaries converging on the tumor.
  • Tumor 'take' is currently understood to indicate a prevascular phase of tumor growth in which a population of tumor cells occupying a few cubic millimeters volume, and not exceeding a few million cells, can survive on existing host microvessels. Expansion of tumor volume beyond this phase requires the induction of new capillary blood vessels. For example, pulmonary micrometastases in the early prevascular phase in mice would be undetectable except by high power microscopy on histological sections.
  • Angiogenesis has been associated with a number of different types of cancer, including solid tumors and blood-borne tumors.
  • Solid tumors with which angiogenesis has been associated include, but are not limited to, rhabdomyosarcomas, retinoblastoma, Ewing's sarcoma, neuroblastoma, and osteosarcoma.
  • Angiogenesis is also associated with blood-borne tumors, such as leukemias, any of various acute or chronic neoplastic diseases of the bone marrow in which unrestrained proliferation of white blood cells occurs, usually accompanied by anemia, impaired blood clotting, and enlargement of the lymph nodes, liver and spleen. It is believed that angiogenesis plays a role in the abnormalities in the bone marrow that give rise to leukemia tumors and multiple myeloma diseases.
  • a hemangioma is a tumor composed of newly formed blood vessels. In most cases, the tumors are benign and regress without intervention. In more severe cases, the tumors progress to large cavernous and infiltrative forms and create clinical complications. Systemic forms of hemangiomas, hemangiomatoses, have a high mortality rate. Therapy-resistant hemangiomas exist that cannot be treated with therapeutics currently in use.
  • angiogenesis associated disease is rheumatoid arthritis.
  • the blood vessels in the synovial lining of the joints undergo angiogenesis.
  • the endothelial cells release factors and reactive oxygen species that lead to pannus growth and cartilage destruction.
  • Angiogenesis may also play a role in osteoarthritis.
  • the activation of the chondrocytes by angiogenic-related factors contributes to the destruction of the joint.
  • the angiogenic factors promote new bone growth.
  • Therapeutic intervention that prevents the cartilage destruction could halt the progress of the disease and provide relief for persons suffering with arthritis.
  • Chronic inflammation may also involve pathological angiogenesis.
  • ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease show histological changes with the ingrowth of new blood vessels into inflamed tissues.
  • Bartonelosis a bacterial infection found in South America, can result in a chronic stage that is characterized by proliferation of vascular endothelial cells.
  • Another pathological role associated with angiogenesis is found in atherosclerosis. The plaques formed within the lumen of blood vessels have been shown to have angiogenic stimulatory activity.
  • angiogenesis is essential for the growth and persistence of solid tumors and their metastases.
  • tumors upregulate the production of a variety of angiogenic factors, including fibroblast growth factors (aFGF and bFGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor/vascular permeability factor (VEGF/VPF) [2,3].
  • aFGF and bFGF fibroblast growth factors
  • VEGF/VPF vascular endothelial growth factor/vascular permeability factor
  • VEGF is also known as vascular permeability factor, based on its ability to induce vascular leakage [13].
  • vascular leakage Several solid tumors produce ample amounts of VEGF, which stimulates proliferation and migration of endothelial cells, thereby inducing neovascularization [12,13].
  • VEGF expression has been shown to significantly affect the prognosis of different kinds of human cancer. Oxygen tension in the tumor has a key role in regulating the expression of VEGF gene.
  • VEGF mRNA expression is induced by exposure to low oxygen tension under a variety of pathophysiological circumstances [13].

  • VEGF vascular endothelial growth factor
  • the shifting of the P 50 value to higher Ovpartial pressures inhibits the expression of the hypoxia gene encoding VEGF in the tumors.
  • Expression of the hypoxia gene encoding VEGF is necessary for angiogenesis to be stimulated in tumors. If this does not occur, angiogenesis is seriously inhibited and new vessels are not formed in tumors.
  • ITPP is a potential significant adjuvant in the therapy of solid tumors as inhibitor of angiogenesis on one hand, and as a radiosensitizer on the other.

  • ITPP such as with the calcium/sodium salt of ITPP
  • the use of ITPP, such as with the calcium/sodium salt of ITPP may also help in the treatment of a variety of vascular diseases associated with various forms of dementia. Because the brain relies on a network of vessels to bring it oxygen-bearing blood, if the oxygen supply to the brain fails, brain cells are likely to die and this can cause symptoms of vascular dementia. These symptoms can occur either suddenly, following a stroke, or over time through a series of small strokes. Thus, one potential means of treating patients with vascular diseases associated with various forms of dementia is to increase the oxygen available to affected areas such as across the blood brain barrier.

  • stroke and the bone-thinning disease osteoporosis are usually thought of as two distinct health problems, it has been found that there may be a connection between them. Patients who survive strokes are significantly more likely to suffer from osteoporosis, a disease that puts them at high risk for bone fractures. Often, the fractures in stroke patients occur on the side of the body that has been paralyzed from the stroke.
  • a stroke occurs when the supply of blood and oxygen to the brain ceases or is greatly reduced. If a portion of the brain loses its supply of nutrient-rich blood and oxygen, the bodily functions controlled by that part of the brain (vision, speech, walking, etc.) are impaired.
