Definitions

  • This invention relates to controlling cellular immune/inflammatory responses, particularly phagocyte-mediated tissue injury and inflammation.
  • Circulating phagocytic white blood cells are an important component of the cellular acute inflammatory response. It is believed that a number of important biological functions such as chemotaxis, immune adherence (homotypic cell adhesion or aggregation) , adhesion to endothelium, phagocytosis, antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity, superoxide, and lysosomal enzyme release are mediated by a family of leukocyte surface glycoprotein adhesion receptors known as ⁇ 2 integrins or the CD11/CD18 complex. Arnaout et al., Blood 75:1037 (1990) .
  • the CD11/CD18 family consists of three heterodimeric surface glycoproteins, each with a distinct subunit (CDlla, CDllb or CDllc) non-covalently associated with a common ⁇ subunit (CD18) .
  • the divalent cations Ca + and Mg are essential in the stabilization and function of the ⁇ (CD11/CD18) complex.
  • the ⁇ 2 integrins are expressed only on leukocytes.
  • CDlla/CD18 also known as LFA-1, TA- 1
  • CDllb/CDl ⁇ and CD11C/CD18 are expressed primarily on monocytes, poly orphonuclear leukocytes, macrophages and natural killer cells CDllc/CD18 is also expressed on certain lymphocytes.
  • CDlla/CD18 and not CDllb/CD18 or CDllc/CD18, is expressed on B- and T-lymphocytes; accordingly CDlla/CD18 plays a role in itogen-, antigen-, and alloantigen- induced proliferation, T-cell-mediated cytotoxicity, lymphocyte aggregation, and Ig production.
  • CD11/CD18 molecules are important for monocyte/macrophage and granulocyte adhesion-dependent functions.
  • CDllb/CD18 and CDllc/CD18 mediate enhanced adhesiveness of activated phagocytes through quantitative and qualitative changes in these proteins on the surface of activated cells. For example, in granulocytes, these proteins are translocated from intracellular storage pools present in secondary and tertiary granules. Arnaout et al., J . Clin . Invest . 74:1291 (1984); Arnaout et al., New Eng . J. Med . 312:457 (1985); Todd et al., J . Clin . Invest . 74:1280 (1984).

  • Monoclonal antibodies have been used to identify at least two distinct functional domains of CDllb/CD18, one mediating homotypic and heterotypic adhesion and the other mediating binding to the complement C3 fragment (iC3b) , the major C3 opsonin in vivo.

Description

CONTROLLING CELLULAR IMMUNE/INFLAMMATORY RESPONSES WITH β2 INTEGRINS
Background of the Invention This invention, at least in part, was funded by a grant from the United States Government and the Government has certain rights in the invention.
This application is a continuation-in-part of my earlier, co-pending application USSN 539,842, filed June 18, 1990, which is in turn a continuation-in-part of my earlier application USSN 212,573, filed June 28, 1988, now abandoned, both of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
This invention relates to controlling cellular immune/inflammatory responses, particularly phagocyte-mediated tissue injury and inflammation.
Circulating phagocytic white blood cells are an important component of the cellular acute inflammatory response. It is believed that a number of important biological functions such as chemotaxis, immune adherence (homotypic cell adhesion or aggregation) , adhesion to endothelium, phagocytosis, antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity, superoxide, and lysosomal enzyme release are mediated by a family of leukocyte surface glycoprotein adhesion receptors known as β2 integrins or the CD11/CD18 complex. Arnaout et al., Blood 75:1037 (1990) . Inherited deficiency of CD11/CD18 impairs leukocyte adhesion-dependent inflammatory functions and predisposes to life-threatening bacterial infections. Dana et al., J. Clin . Invest . 73:153 (1983); Arnaout et al., J. Clin . Invest . 74:1291 (1984).
The CD11/CD18 family consists of three heterodimeric surface glycoproteins, each with a distinct subunit (CDlla, CDllb or CDllc) non-covalently associated with a common β subunit (CD18) . The divalent cations Ca+ and Mg are essential in the stabilization and function of the β (CD11/CD18) complex. The β2 integrins are expressed only on leukocytes. While CDlla/CD18 (also known as LFA-1, TA- 1) is expressed on all leukocytes, CDllb/CDlδ and CD11C/CD18 (also known as LeuM5 or pl50,95) are expressed primarily on monocytes, poly orphonuclear leukocytes, macrophages and natural killer cells CDllc/CD18 is also expressed on certain lymphocytes. Arnaout, Blood 75:1037 (1990) .
CDlla/CD18, and not CDllb/CD18 or CDllc/CD18, is expressed on B- and T-lymphocytes; accordingly CDlla/CD18 plays a role in itogen-, antigen-, and alloantigen- induced proliferation, T-cell-mediated cytotoxicity, lymphocyte aggregation, and Ig production. In contrast, all three CD11/CD18 molecules are important for monocyte/macrophage and granulocyte adhesion-dependent functions.
It is believed that CDllb/CD18 and CDllc/CD18 mediate enhanced adhesiveness of activated phagocytes through quantitative and qualitative changes in these proteins on the surface of activated cells. For example, in granulocytes, these proteins are translocated from intracellular storage pools present in secondary and tertiary granules. Arnaout et al., J . Clin . Invest . 74:1291 (1984); Arnaout et al., New Eng . J. Med . 312:457 (1985); Todd et al., J . Clin . Invest . 74:1280 (1984). CDllb/CD18 is also known as complement receptor type 3 (CR3) , Mol, Mac-1 or MAM. See, Arnaout et al., J. Clin . Invest . 72:171 (1983) ,- and references cited therein; Dana et al., J.

Immunol . 131:2913 (1983). Like all β2 integrins, CDllb/CD18 consists of two non-covalently associated subunits.

The α subunit of CDllb/CD18 has an apparent molecular mass of 155-165 kD and associates non- covalently with a β subunit, CD18, of apparent molecular mass 95 kD. Todd et al., Hybridoma 1:329 (1982).
Monoclonal antibodies have been used to identify at least two distinct functional domains of CDllb/CD18, one mediating homotypic and heterotypic adhesion and the other mediating binding to the complement C3 fragment (iC3b) , the major C3 opsonin in vivo. Dana et al., J. Immunol . 137:3259 (1986).

Simpson et al., J. Clin . Invest . 81:624 (1988) disclose that a monoclonal antibody (904) directed to an adhesion-promoting domain of CDllb (Dana et al., J.

Invest . 81:939, 1988) similarly found that a monoclonal antibody directed against CD18 subunit of CDllb/CD18 reduced organ injury and improved survival from hemorrhagic shock in rabbits. In animal models, anti-CDll/CD18 antibodies have been shown to have protective effects in shock, frostbite, burns, cerebral edema, onset of diabetes mellitus (Hutchings et al..
Nature 348:639, 1990) and transplant rejection. Reviewed in Carlos et al., Immunol . Rev. 114:5 (1990).

In another aspect, the features a human CDllb recombinant peptide. "β2 integrins" include all leukocyte adhesion molecules which include a CD18 subunit. By the "A domain of CDllb" is meant the amino acid sequence corresponding to the sequence of CDllb from Cys 128 to Glu321 or an am o acid sequence produced by introducing one or more conservative amino acid substitutions in an amino acid sequence corresponding to the sequence of CDllb from Cys128 to Glu321. "CDll/CD18-mediated immune response" includes those CDll/CD18-related functions mentioned above: chemotaxis, immune adherence (homotypic cell adhesion or aggregation) , adhesion to endotheliu , phagocytosis, antibody-dependent or -independent cellular cytotoxicity, and superoxide and lysosomal enzyme release. Inhibition of these immune functions can be determined by one or more of the following inhibition assays as described in greater detail below: iC3b binding, cell-cell aggregation, phagocytosis, adhesion to endothelium, and chemotaxis. As used herein, a human CDllb recombinant peptide is a chain of amino acids derived from recombinant CDllb-encoding cDNA, or the corresponding synthetic DNA.

Other features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description of the preferred embodiments thereof, and from the claims. Description of the Preferred Embodiments The drawings will first briefly be described. Drawings

Figure 8 is the cDNA sequence of human CD18 from Law et al., EMBO J. 6:915 (1987). Peptides As described in greater detail elsewhere, each member of the β2 integrin family is a heterodimer consisting of two subunits: a CDll subunit (with at least three variants designated CDlla, CDllb, and CDllc) and a CD18 subunit. Each subunit includes a transmembrane anchor which connects a cytoplasmic segment to an extracellular segment. The two subunits interact to form a functional heterodimer. As described in greater detail below, the extracellular segments of the β2 integrin subunits contain various functional domains which are the focus of the invention.
Without wishing to bind myself to a particular theory, it appears that the peptides of the invention antagonize CDll/CD18-mediated immune responses by competitively inhibiting binding of leukocytes bearing a member of the β2 integrin family to the respective binding partners of that family. Specifically, the peptides of the invention include an immune-response inhibiting extracellular segment of any one of the β2 integrin subunits —CDlla, CDllb, CDllc, CD18— or a heterodimer composed of a portion of an α (CDlla, CDllb, or CDllc) subunit together with a portion of a β subunit (CD18) . Candidate β2 integrin subunits can be evaluated for their ability to antagonize CDll/CD18-mediated immune responses by any of several techniques. For example, subunits may be tested for their ability to interfere with neutrophil adhesion to endothelial cells using an assay described in detail below. Specific regions of the ,92 integrin subunits can be evaluated in a similar manner. Any extracellular region of a β2 integrin subunit may be screened for its ability to interfere with CD11/CD18 mediated immune response. Regions of CDll whose sequences are conserved between two or more subunits are preferred candidates for antagonizing
CD11/CD18 - mediated immune response. For example, the A domain (corresponding to Cys128 to Glu321 of CDllb) is conserved between CDlla, CDllb, and CDllc. The A domain is 64% identical in CDllb and CDllc and 36% homologous between these two subunits and CDlla. This domain is also homologous to a conserved domain in other proteins involved in adhesive interactions including von Willebrand's factor, cartilage matrix protein, VLA2, and - li ¬
the complement C3b/C4b - binding proteins C2 and factor B. The extracellular portions of CDlla, CDllb and CDllc include seven homologous tandem repeats of approximately 60 amino acids. These repeats are also conserved in the α subunits of other integrin subfamilies (e.g., fibronectin receptor). Arnaout et al.. Blood 75:1037 (1990) .
Regions of CD18 which are conserved among β intergrin subunits (i.e., the β subunits of βl , β2 and β3 integrins) are also good candidates for regions capable of interfering with CD11/CD18 - mediated immune response. For example, CD18 has four tandem repeats of an eight- cysteine motif. This cysteine-rich region is conserved among β subunits. Just amino terminal to this cysteine rich region is another conserved region, 247 amino acids long, which is conserved in several integrin β subunits.
Described in detail below are techniques for generating CDllb peptides and heterodimers. The same techniques may be used to generate CDlla, CDllc, and CD18 peptides as well as CDlla/CD18 and CDllc/CD18 heterodimers. Fig. 6 depicts the cDNA sequence of human CDlla (SEQ ID NO: 39) ; Fig. 7 depicts the cDNA sequence of human CDllc (SEQ ID NO: ) ; Fig. 8 depicts the cDNA sequence of CD18 (SEQ ID NO: 41) . DNA molecules encoding all or part of CDlla,
CDllb, CDllc or CD18 can be obtained by means of polymerase chain reaction amplification. In this technique two short DNA primers are used to generate multiple copies of a DNA fragment of interest from cells known to harbor the RNA of produced by the gene of interest. This technique is described in detail by Frohman et al., Proc. Nat ' l Acad Sci . USA 85:8998 (1988). Polymerase chain reaction methods are generally described by Mullis et al. (U.S. Patent Nos. 4,683,195 and 4,683,202) .
For example, to clone a portion of CDlla, the known sequence of CDlla is used to design two DNA primers which will hybridize to opposite strands outside (or just within) the region of interest. The primers must be oriented so that when they are extended by DNA polymerase, extension proceeds into the region of interest. To generate the CDlla DNA, poyA RNA is isolated from cells expressing CDlla. A first primer and reverse transcriptase are used to generate a cDNA form the mRNA. A seond primer is added; and Tag DNA polymerase is used to amplify the cDNA genrated in the previous step. Alternatively, the known sequences of CDlla, CDllb, CDllc and CD18 can be used to design highly specific probes for identifying cDNA clones harboring the DNA of interest. A cDNA library suitable for isolation of CDlla, CDllb, and CDllc DNA can be generated using phorbol ester-induced HL-60 cells (ATCC Accession No. CCL 240) as described by Corbi et al. (EMBO J. 6:4023, 1987) and Arnaout et al., Proc . Nat ' l Acad Sci . USA 85:2776, 1988) ; CD18 DNA can be isolated from a library generated using U937 cells (ATCC Accession No. CRL 1593) as described by Law et al. (EMBO J. 6:915, 1987). These cell lines are also suitable for generating cDNA by polymerase chain reaction amplification of mRNA as sescribed above.
Heterodimers comprised of part of CDllc and CD18 can be produced as described below for CDllb/CD18 by changing a codon amino terminal to the transmembrane region (e.g. Pro1086) to a stop codon. Heterodimers comprised of part of CDlla can be produced by changing a codon amino terminal to the transmembrane region (e.g., - 13
Lys 10S7) to a stop codon. DNA encodi •ng the truncated CDll subunit is then introduced into cells along with DNA encoding a similarly truncated CD18 molecule (described below) . These cells are then used as a source of heterodimer.
Isolation of a Human CDllb cDNA clone.
A 378 base pair (bp) cDNA clone encoding guinea pig CDllb was used as a probe to isolate three additional cDNA clones from a human monocyte/lymphocyte cDNA library as described in Arnaout et al., Proc . Nat ' l . Acad . Sci . USA 85:2776 (1988); together these three clones contain the 3,048 nucleotide sequence encoding the CDllb gene shown in Fig. 1 (SEQ ID NO: 40). Arnaout et al., J. Cell . Biol . 106:2153 (1988). In order to express CDllb, a mammalian expression vector was constructed by assembling the above-described three cDNA clones. Appropriate restriction enzyme sites within the CDllb gene can be chosen to assemble the cDNA inserts so that they are in the same translation reading frame. Arnaout et al., J. Clin . Invest . 85:977 (1990). A suitable basic expression vector can be used as a vehicle for the 3,048 bp complete cDNA fragment encoding the human CDllb peptide; the recombinant cDNA can be expressed by transfection into, e.g., COS-l cells, according to conventional techniques, e.g., the techniques generally described by Aruffo et al., Proc. Nat ' l . Acad . Sci . USA 84:8573 (1987) or expressed in E. coli using standard techniques. Smith et al., Gene 67:31 (1988) . Isolation of CDllb Peptide from Mammalian Cells
The CDllb protein can be purified from the lysate of transfected COS-1 cells, " sing affinity chromatography and lentil-lectin Sepharose and available anti-CDllb monoclonal antibody as described by Pierce et al. (1986) supra and Arnaout et al., Meth . Enzymol . 150:602 (1987).
If the desired CDllb peptide is shorter than the entire protein, DNA encoding the desired peptide can be expressed in the same mammalian expression vector described above using the selected DNA fragment and the appropriate restriction enzyme site, as outlined above. The selected DNA fragment may be isolated according to conventional techniques from one of the CDllb cDNA clones or may be synthesized by standard polymerase chain reaction amplification, as described above. See also Saiki et al. , (Science 239:487, 1988). Characterization of the CDllb Polypeptide The coding sequence of the complete CDllb protein is preceded by a single translation initiation methionine. The translation product of the single open reading frame begins with a 16-amino acid hydrophobic peptide representing a leader sequence, followed by the NH2-terminal phenylalanine residue. The translation product also contained all eight tryptic peptides isolated from the purified antigen, the amino-terminal peptide, and an amino acid hydrophobic domain representing a potential transmembrane region, and a short 19-amino acid carboxy-terminal cytoplasmic domain
(Fig. 1 illustrates the amino acid sequence of CDllb; SEQ ID NO: 43) . The coding region of the 155-165 kD CDllb (1,136 amino acids) is eight amino acids shorter than the 130-150 kD alpha subunit of CDllc/CD18 (1,144 amino acids) . The cytoplasmic region of CDllb contains one serine residue that could serve as a potential phosphorylation site. The cytoplasmic region is also relatively rich in acidic residues and in proline (Fig. 1) . Since CDllb/CD18 is involved in the process of phagocytosis and is also targeted to intracellular storage pools, these residues are candidates for mediating these functions. The long extracytoplasmic amino-terminal region contains three or four metal-binding domains (outlined by broken lines in Fig. 1) that are similar to Ca2+-binding sites found in other integrins. Each metal binding site may be composed of two noncontiguous peptide segments and may be found in the four internal tandem repeats formed by amino acid residues 358-412, 426-483, 487-553, and 554-614. The portion of the extracytoplasmic domain between Tyr465 and Val is homologous to the fibronectin-like collagen binding domain and IL-2-receptor. The extracytoplasmic region also contains an additional unique 187-200 amino acid domai •n, the A domain, between Cys128 to Glu321, which is not present in the homologous (α) subunits of fibronectin, vitronectin, or platelet Ilb/IIIa receptors. This sequence is present in the highly homologous CDllc protein (α of pl50,95) with 64% of the amino acids identical and 34% representing conserved substitutions. Arnaout et al., J. Cell Biol . 106:2153, 1988; Arnaout et al. Blood 75:1037 (1990). It is known that both CDllb/CD18 and CDllc/CD18 have a binding site for complement fragment C3 and this unique region may be involved in C3 binding. This region of CDllb also has significant homology (17.1% identity and 52.9% conserved substitutions) to the collagen/heparin/platelet Gpl binding regions of the mature von Willebrand factor (domains A1-A3) . The A domain is also homologous to a region in CDlla. Larson et al., J. Cell Biol . 108:703 (1989) . The A domain is also referred to as the L domain or the I domain. Larson et al., supra (1988); Corbi et - 16 -
al., J . Biol . Chem . 263:12,403 (1988). CDllb Peptides
The following peptides can be used to inhibit CDllb/CD18 activity: a) peptides identical to the above-described A domain of CDllb, or a portion thereof, e.g., DIAFLIDGS (SEQ ID NO:32), FRRMKEFVS (SEQ ID N0:33), FKILWITDGE (SEQ ID NO:34), DGEKFGDPLGYEDVIPEADR (SEQ ID NO:17), or VIRYVIGVGDA SEQ ID NO:35); b) peptides identical to the above-described fibronectin-like collagen binding domain, or a portion thereof, e.g.,
YYEQTRGGQVSVCPLPRGRARWQCDAV (SEQ ID NO:38); c) peptides identical to one or more of the four metal binding regions of CDllb, or a portion thereof, e.g., DVDSNGSTD (SEQ ID NO:46), DVNGDKLTD (SEQ ID NO:47), DLTMDGLVD (SEQ ID NO:48), DSDMNDAYL (SEQ ID NO:49); d) peptides substantially identical to the complete CDllb; or e) other CDllb domains, e.g. KSTRDRLR (SEQ ID NO:15).
Also of interest is a recombinant peptide which includes part of the A domain, e.g, NAFKILWITDGEKFGDPLGYEDVIPEADREGV (SEQ ID NO: 50) . The A domain binds iC3b, gelatin, and fibrinogen and binding is disrupted by EDTA. The A domain also binds both Ca2+ and Mg2+. This result unexpected since the A doamin lies outside of the region of CDllb previously predicted (Arnaout et al., J. Cell Biol . 106:2153, 1988; Corbi et al., J. Biol . Chem . 25:12403, 1988) to contain metal binding sites. Heterodimers
It is advantageous to administer the heterodimer formed by the CDllb and CD18 proteins. Expression of CDllb is described elsewhere in this application. Expression of CD18 has been'reported by others. Law et al. Embo, J. 6:915 (1987); Kishimoto et al. Cell 48:681 (1987) . The strategies described above or in those reports can be used to obtain CD18 to make such a heterodimer. Preferred heterodimers are soluble under physiological conditions. The heterodimer described below is generated by changing the codon for Leu1 in CDllb (SEQ ID NO: 40) to a stop codon and the codon for Asn700 of CD18 (SEQ ID NO: 41) to a stop codon. Other potentially soluble heterodimers can be generated by introducing a stop codon at positions amino terminal to those described below.
Generation of Soluble Heterodimers
A soluble form of a CDllb/CD18 heterodimer was produced in COS cells. To produce this molecule the codons for Leu1090 and Asn700 located at the predicted extracellular boundaries of CDllb and CD18 respectively, were replaced with in-frame translational stop codons using oligonucleotide-directed gapped-duplex mutagenesis of the wild-type cDNAs (described below) .
To determine if COS cells can express a soluble form of CDllb/CD18, COS cells were co-transfected with cDNA encoding the truncated forms of CDllb (CDllb1089) and CD18 (CDll 699) . Secreted proteins were analyzed by immunoprecipitation and SDS-PAGE. The results of this analysis are presented in Fig. 2. Briefly, COS cells were transfected as previously described (Arnaout et al., J . Clin . Invest . 85:977, 1990) . 7 x 106 transfected cells were labeled overnight with 0.1 mCi of 35S methionine, and the harvested supernatants were used for immunoprecipitation with NS1, a non-reactive monoclonal antibody (mAb) (lane 1) ; 44a, an anti-CDllb mAb (lane 2);_or TS18, an anti-CD18 mAb (lane 3) . Immunoprecipitation and antibodies as described by Arnaout et al., J . Cell . Physiol . 137:305 (1988); Trowbridge et al., J. Exp . Med. 154:1517 (1981); and Sanchez-Madrid et al., J. Exp. Med. 158:1785 (1983).
As shown in Fig. 2, both CDllb1089 and CD18699 were immunoprecipitated from supernatants of cells transfected with DNA encoding the truncated subunits.
The secreted CDllb 1089 had an apparent molecular weight of gqg
149 kD; the secreted CD18 had an apparent molecular weight of 84 kD (compared to 155 kD and 94 kD respectively for the wild-type subunits) . Arnaout et al.. New Engl . J. Med . 312:457 (1985); Dierner et al., J. Immunol . 135:537 (1985); Arnaout et al., J. Clin . Invest . 72:171 (1983); Klebanoff et al., J. Immunol . 134:1153 (1985) . That mAbs directed against either the CDllb or CD18 immunoprecipitated both truncated forms, indicates that the secreted subunits are expressed as an
CDllb 1089/CD18699 complex and that neither the cytoplasmic nor the transmembrane region of the subunits are necessary for heterodimer formation. These mAbs did not precipitate receptor subunits from the supernatants of mock-transfected cells. Arrowheads at left indicate the positions of molecular weight size markers: myosin (200kD) , phosphorylase b (92.5 kD) , bovine serum albumin (69 kD) , and ovalbumin (46 kD) . Arrows at right indicate the expected positions of CDllb1089 and CD18699. CDllb1089/CD18699 was next tested for its ability to bind iC3b (the receptor bound by wild-type CDllb/CD18) . Briefly, COS cells were transfected CDllb1089 and CD18699 cDNA as described above. Cells were labeled with 35S-methionine as described by Dana et al., J. Clin . Invest . 79:1010 (1987). Supernatants from both co-transfected COS cells (7 _x 10 cells) and mock- transfected COS cells (7 x 106 cells) were concentrated to one ml using collodion bags (10,000 MW cut off). 100 μl of the concentrated supernatant were used for immunoprecipitation, and the rest of the supernatant was incubated with C3b-sepharose or iC3b-sepharose. C3b- sepharose and iC3b-sepharose was washed, eluted with 0.4 M NaCl and the eluted proteins were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and autoradiography. Binding of wild-type, membrane- bound CDllb/CD18 to iC3b-sepharose or C3b-sepharose was performed as described by Arnaout et al., (In Methods in Enzymology, DiSabato, Ed., Acad. Press Inc., Fl., 1987) using the detergent soluble fracti •on from 1 x 108 1 ~-2"5j_- surface-labelled neutrophils.
Fig. 3 illustrates the results of SDS-PAGE analysis of neutrophil-derived 125I-surface-labeled glycoproteins eluted from C3b-sepharose and iC3b- sepharose. Eluants from C3b-sepharose (lane a) contained complement receptor type 1 (250kD) and the C3-binding regulatory protein gp45/70 (45-70 kD) . Eluants from iC3b-sepharose (lane b) contained two additional proteins at 155 kD, 94 kD, representing wild-type CDllb and CD18. CDllb/CD18 was immunoprecipitated with 44a mAb (an anti- CDllb mAb) from material eluted from iC3b-sepharose (lane d) , but not from material eluted from C3b-sepharose (lane c) , confirming previous results. Malhorta et al., Eur. J. Immunol . 16:177, (1986). The arrowheads at right indicate the positions of molecular weight standards: yosin (200 kD) , phosphorylase b (92.5 kD) , and bovine serum albumin (69 kD) . The arrows at left indicate the expected position of CR1, CDllb, CD18 and gp45/70.
Fig. 4 shows.the results of SDS-PAGE analysis of CDllb1089/CD18699 heterodimer binding to iC3b. An anti-
CDllb mAb (44a) was used to immunoprecipitate proteins from culture supernatants of mock-transfected COS cells (lane a) , and from COS cells co-transfected with CDllb - 20 -
and CD18 cDNAs (lane b) . No specific radiolabeled material was present in eluant of iC3b-sepharose exposed to culture supernatant of mock-transfected COS cells (lane c) . CDllb1089/CD18699 was eluted from iC3b- sepharose (lane d) , but not from C3b-sepharose (lane e) exposed to culture supernatant of co-transfected cells. Arrowheads at right indicate the positions of molecular weight standard standards (as in Fig. 2) . Arrows at left indicate the expected positions of CDllb1089 and CD18699. Similar results were seen with supernatants from two other transfections.
The ability of CDllb1089/CD18699 to inhibit binding of human neutrophils to inflamed endothelium was examined and compared to the inhibition induced by anti- CDllb mAb and anti-CD18 mAb. Adherence of purified human neutrophils to confluent monolayers of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVE) pre-treated with recombinant IL-1 (10 units/ml for 4 hours at 37°C) was measured as described by Arnaout et al.,(«7. Cell . Physiol . 137:305, 1988) with the following modifications. Neutrophils were labeled with carboxyfluorescein (CF, Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR) by incubating 4 x 106 cells with 30 μg of CF in one ml of Tris-buffered saline for 10 minutes on ice, followed by three washes. HUVE were pre- incubated for 10 minutes at 37°C with supernatants of COS cells co-transfected with CDllb1089 and CD18699 cDNA supernatants, or for 5 minutes at room temperature with the non-reactive monoclonal antibody NS1, 44a (anti- CDllb) or TS18 (anti-CD18) ascites (1:100 dilution). Labeled neutrophils were then added and incubation was continued for an additional 10 minutes. The plates HUVE were washed twice, and adherent neutrophils were harvested by washing with 0.1% SDS and 0.1N NaOH. - 21 -
Relative numbers of neutrophils were measured (at Exc. , 490 nm; Em, 300nm) using a Fluorometer (SLM 8000, SLM Aminco, Urbana, IL) . All assays were done in triplicate. Labels along the horizontal axis indicate the molecule added to HUVE. 'Buffer1 indicates that no antibodies were added. 'Sham1 indicates that supernatant from mock transfected cells was added.
As shown in Fig. 5, culture supernatants containing CDllb1089/CDl8699 (approximately 10-50 ng/ml) were found to be at least as effective in blocking neutrophil adhesion to rIL-1-induced endothelium as monoclonal antibodies directed against CDllb or CD18. CDllb1089/CD18699 was more effective than 44a mAb (an anti-CDllb mAb) in inhibiting adhesion to rIL-1-activated endothelium and comparable to inhibition seen using TS18 mAb (an anti-CD18 mAb) , suggesting the presence of multi •ple functi•onal si•tes on CDllb1089 and/or the possibility that CD18 (like other β integrins) contains a recognition site(s) for interacting with ligand(s) expressed on endothelium.
Generation of Truncated CDllb and CD18 PAT-X plasmid containing the partial CD18 cDNA clone J19 (Law et al. supra , 1987) was linearized with Hindlll or digested with Ncol (to generate a 1331 bp gap) . These two plasmids were mixed with an excess of the synthetic and 5'-end phosphorylated 18-mer (5'-aggccccTaGatcgccgc) containing desired nucleotide mutations (caps) . The mixture was denatured by boiling and renatured by stepwise cooling. Reannealed DNA (containing single-stranded region to which the mutant 18-mer is hybridized) was primer extended to fill the gap, and used to transform E. coli strain BMH 71-18 mutL. Arnaout et al., J. Clin . Invest . 85:977 (1990). Plasmids containing the mutation were 22 -
identified by differential hybridization with 32P-labeled wild-type- or mutant 18-mers and DNA used to transform E. coli JM109. Positive colonies were identified following rehybridization, sequenced to verify the mutation, then used to replace the corresponding fragment in wild-type full length CD18 cDNA cloned in 7TH3M expression vector. Arnaout et al., J. Clin . Invest . 85:977 (1990). A stop codon was similarly introduced in CDllb. Blue Script (Stratagene, La Jolla, CA) plasmid vector containing the full coding region of membrane-bound CDllb was used. A mixture of Kpnl-linearized and gapped (by removing a Smal fragment, 1048 bp long) CDllb cDNAs were mixed with an excess of the synthetic mutant 18-mer (51- caaccccTAgccgctcat) . Mutant plasmid was produced and isolated as detailed above. Monoclonal Antibodies
Monoclonal antibodies directed against CDll or CD18 can be used to antagonize CDll/CD18-mediated immune response. Useful monoclonal antibodies can be generated by using a peptide of the invention as an immunogen. For example, monoclonal antibodies can be raised against the A domain of CDllb, CDlla or CDllc.
Anti-CDllb monoclonal antibodies which inhibit iC3b binding (mAb 903) , neutrophil adhesive interactions, e.g., aggregation and chemotaxis, (mAb 904), or both activities (mAb44a) have been identified. Other monoclonal antibodies (OKM-1, which inhibits fibrinogen binding, and OKM9) have also been mapped to this region. Dana et al., J. Immunol . 137:3259 (1986). These monoclonal antibodies recognize epitopes in the A domain of CDllb. Dana et al., JASON 1:549 (1990).
Additional useful monoclonal antibodies can be generated by standard techniques. Preferably, human monoclonal antibodies can be produced. Human monoclonal antibodies can be isolated from a combinatorial library produced by the method of Huse et al. (Science , 246:1275, 1988) . The library can be generated in vivo by immunizing nude or SCID mice whose immune system has been reconstituted with human peripheral blood lymphocytes or spleen cells or in vitro by immunizing human peripheral blood lymphocytes or spleen cells. The immunogen can be any CDllb or CD18 peptide. Similar techniques are described by Duchosal et al., J. Exp. Med. 92:985 (1990) and Mullinax et al., Proc. Nat'l. Acad. USA 87:8095 (1990) .
Peptides derived from the A domain of CDlla, CDllb, or CDllc are preferred immunogens. These peptides can be produced in E. coli transformed by a plasmid encoding all or part of the A domain.
A CD18 peptide can also be used as an immunogen. Three anti-CD18 mAbs with anti-inflammatory properties (TS18, 10F12, 60.3) have been identified. Binding each of these antibodies to CD18 can be abrogated by a specific point mutation within a particular region of CD18 (Asp128 to Asn361 of Fig. 8) (SEQ ID No.: 45). Peptide corresponding to this region can be produced in E. coli using a plasmid encoding the A domain. Assays for CDllb (or CDllc) peptides, heterodimers and monoclonal antibodies
CDllb (or CDllc) peptides, heterodimers, and monoclonal antibodies such as those described above, can be tested in vitro for inhibition in one of the following five assays: iC3b binding, inhibition of phagocytosis, inhibition of monocyte/granulocyte adhesion to endothelium, inhibition of chemotaxis, or inhibition of cell-cell aggregation. Alternatively, they may be tested 24 -
in vivo for controlling damage associated with reduced perfusion or immune injury of tissues, as a result of myocardial infarction, burns, frost bite, glomerulonephritis, asthma, adult respiratory distress syndrome, transplant rejection, onset of diabetes mellitus, ischemia, colitis, shock liver syndrome, and resuscitation from hemorrhagic shock. Inhibition of Granulocyte or Phagocyte Adhesion to iC3b-Coated Erythrocytes or Bacteria The antimicrobial activity of the neutrophil depends to a significant degree on the ability of this cell to establish a firm attachment to its target. For this purpose, neutrophils possess a number of specific cell surface receptors that promote this interaction, such as a receptor which binds to complement C3 (iC3b) , e.g. the CDllb/CD18 receptor. Human neutrophilic polymorphonuclear granulocytes can be isolated from EDTA-anticoagulated blood on Ficoll-Hypaque gradients. Boyu , Scand. J. Clin . Invest . (Suppl.) 21:77 (1968) modified as described by Dana et al., J. Clin . Invest .
73:153 (1984). Phagocytes can be prepared by incubating the mononuclear cell fraction (obtained from Ficoll-Hypaque centrifugation) on plastic petri dishes. Todd et al., J . Immunol . 126:1435 (1981). Peptides of the invention can be tested for their ability to inhibit iC3b mediated binding of granulocytes to sheep erythrocytes as described in Dana et al. supra , 1984; and Arnaout et al., supra, 1985. Inhibition of Phagocytosis Phagocytosis is an important biological function resulting in clearing of damaged tissue from the body, and in elimination of foreign particles (bacteria, fungi) . An in vitro test for inhibition of phagocytosis - 25 -
is described in Arnaout et al., New Eng . J . Med. 306:693
(1982).
Inhibition Adhesion to Endothelium.
Granulocytes/monocytes must cross vascular endothelium during their egress from blood to extravascular tissues. Studies of leukocyte kinetics in animals indicate that acute inflammatory reactions may be marked by a massive increase in transendothelial monocyte/granulocyte traffic. In many chronic inflammatory lesions, perivascular monocytes accumulate in skin windows more slowly than neutrophils, but later become the predominant cell type. In addition, monocytes leaving the circulation can rapidly acquire the morphology of resident tissue macrophages—in some cases within a few hours of their departure from plasma. Thus, vascular endothelium may be considered an important substrate with which monocytes/granulocytes must interact during adherence, diapedesis, and differentiation. An in vitro assay for monocyte/granulocyte interaction with the vessel wall consists of binding radiolabeled or fluorescein monocyte/granulocyte preparations to cultured vascular endothelium, as described in Arnaout et al., J. Cell Physiol . 137:305 (1988). Mentzer et al., J . Cell Physiol . 125:285 (1986) describes a lymphocyte adhesion assay. These endothelial adhesion assays are appropriate for CDlla, CDllb or CDllc peptides, heterodimers and monoclonal antibodies when the endothelial cells are pre-activated. When the granulocytes/monocytes (or leukocytes) are pre-activated, these assays are suitable for CDllb peptides, heterodimers or monoclonal antibodies. Inhibition of Chemotaxis.
The ability of cells of the immune system to - 26 -
migrate is essential to the cellular immune response that results in tissue inflammation. Therefore, a peptide of the invention can be tested for its ability to inhibit chemotaxis, as described in Dana et al., (1986), supra. Cell-Cell Aggregation
A granulocyte aggregation assay can be performed as described by. Arnaout et al., New Engl . J. Med. 306:693 (1982). Aggregation can be induced by zymosan-activated autologous serum or with chemotactic peptides, e.g. FMLP. Aggregation can then be recorded as incremental change in light transmission [ΔT] using a platelet aggregometer. The results can be confirmed by phase microscopy. Assays for CDlla peptides, heterodimers and monoclonal antibodies
CDlla peptides, heterodimers and monoclonal antibodies can be tested using the inhibition of endothelial adhesion assay (described above) or a lymphocyte proliferation assay. Arnaout et al., J. Clin . Invest . 74:1291 (1984) describes an assay for inhibition of antigen/mitogen induced lymphocyte proliferation. In Vivo Model for Testing Peptide
Damage to tissues injured by ischemia- reperfussion (e.g., heart tissue during myocardial infarction) can be minimized by administering to an animal an inhibitor of CD11/CD18 mediated immune response. A peptide of the invention may be tested for in vivo effectiveness using animals, e.g., dogs, which have been induced to undergo myocardial infarction. See, e.g. Simpson et al. supra . Use
The peptide or monoclonal antibody can be administered intravenously in saline solution generally - 27 -
on the order of mg quantities per 10 kilograms of body weight. The peptide can be administered in combination with other drugs, for example, in combination with, or within six hours to three days after a clot dissolving agent, e.g., tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) , Activase, or Streptokinase.
