Definitions
- This invention relates to oligonucleotides that are complementary to mammalian insulin-like growth factor II (IGF II) genes which oligonucleotides modulate tumor cell growth in mammals.
- IGF II insulin-like growth factor II
- This invention is also related to methods of using such compounds in inhibiting the growth of tumor cells in mammals.
- This invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient and an effective amount of a compound of this invention.
- IGF-II Insulin-like growth factor II
- IGF-II Insulin-like growth factor II
- IGF-II receptor related to carbohydrate metabolism, motility of malignant cells and/or tumor-induced angiogenesis
- IGF-I receptor related to signal transduction pathway and mitogenesis
- IGF-II has been implicated in tumor progression and metastasis by a variety of mechanisms in many tumors (reviewed in (1, 2)). Tumors with extensive involvement of IGF-II include childhood tumors such as rhabdomyosarcoma, Wilms' tumor and neuroblastoma. These tumors demonstrate overexpression of IGF-II, show existence of a paracrine or autocrine loop and result in inhibition of tumor growth or metastasis upon blockage of the loop.
- IGF-II contributes to tumor growth and metastasis to varying degrees in a variety of tumors including osteosarcoma, breast carcinoma, hepatoblastoma, germ cell tumors, hepatocellular carcinoma, adrenocortical carcinoma, lung tumors, leiomyosarcoma, brain tumors and colon carcinoma. Furthermore, the direct role of IGF-II in oncogenesis has been elucidated by transgenic mice and human cell lines overexpressing it (3-5).
- the human IGF-II gene is located on chromosome 11p15 just downstream of insulin gene and spans 30 kb (reviewed in (6);see FIG. 1). It consists of 9 exons of which exons 7, 8 and part of 9 encode a precursor protein. Exons 1, 4, 5, and 6 are each preceded by distinct promoters P1, P2, P3 and P4. Promoter P1 is active only in adult liver, while P2-4 are active in most fetal tissues. There are a few adult tissues that express low amount of transcripts from P2, 3 and 4 (fetal transcripts).
- Antisense oligonucleotides have been widely utilized to inhibit gene expression in a target-specific manner by sequence-specific hybridization to target mRNA.
- AS-ODNs Antisense oligonucleotide-mediated repression of oncogenes has revealed that these compounds are not only extremely useful for delineating biochemical mechanisms governing oncogenesis (7), but also considerably promising as novel therapeutic compounds for the treatment of human cancer (8, 9).
- relatively less toxicity has been attributed to oligonucleotide-based therapeutics (10).
- This invention is directed to antisense oligonucleotides which modulate the expression of the IGF-II genes and production of IGF-II in mammals and pharmaceutical compositions comprising such antisense oligonucleotides.
- This invention is also related to methods of using such antisense oligonucleotides for inhibiting tumor growth and metastasis in mammals.
- this invention is directed to an antisense oligonucleotide, which oligonucleotide from about 3 to about 100 nucleotides comprising nucleotides complementary to the mammalian fetal IGF-II mRNA.
- the antisense oligonucleotide may be nuclease resistant and may have one or more phosphorothioate internucleotide linkages.
- the antisense oligonucleotide may further comprise additional nucleotides which are not complementary to the IGF-II mRNA.
- the oligonucleotides may comprise a sequence selected from group consisting of SEQ ID NOs:1 to 15 from Table 1.
- This invention is also directed to an antisense oligonucleotide, which oligonucleotide from about 20 to about 100 nucleotides comprising nucleotides complementary to the mammalian adult IGF-II mRNA selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs:17-31 from Table 2.
- this invention is directed to a vector comprising an antisense oligonucleotide sequence from about 3 to 100 nucleotides comprising a sequence complementary to the 5′ untranslated region of mammalian fetal IGF-II mRNA.

- This invention relates to oligonucleotides that are complementary to mammalian IGF II genes which oligonucleotides modulate tumor cell growth in mammals. It appears that overexpression of IGF-II observed in various human primary cancers and cell lines results from reactivation (in liver) or overexpression (in other organs) of fetal mRNA species. Accordingly, antisense oligonucleotides designed to specifically target fetal transcripts in the 5′UTR, leaving adult transcripts intact, will be highly specific for targeting tumor cells.
- these antisense compounds will exert their antitumor activity by not only suppressing autocrine growth of tumor cells and possibly inducing apoptosis, but also inhibiting autocrine/paracrine function of IGF-II, such as tumor cell motility and/or induction of endothelial cell migration and angiogenesis.
- antisense oligonucleotide as used herein means a nucleotide sequence that is complementary to the desired mRNA.
- the antisense oligonucleotide is complementary to any portion of a mammalian IGF-II mRNA that effectively acts as a target for inhibiting IGF-II expression.
- the antisense oligonucleotide is complementary to the 5′ untranslated region of the IGF-II fetal transcript. More preferably, the antisense oligonucleotide is complementary to the nucleotide sequence of exons 4, 5 or 6 as set forth in FIGS. 11 A-C.
- antisense oligonucleotides depends on the binding of the oligonucleotide to the target nucleic acid (e.g. to at least a portion of a genomic region, gene or mRNA transcript thereof), thus disrupting the function of the target, either by hybridization arrest or by destruction of target RNA by RNase H (the ability to activate RNase H when hybridized to RNA).
- target nucleic acid e.g. to at least a portion of a genomic region, gene or mRNA transcript thereof
- oligonucleotide refers to an oligomer or polymer of nucleotide or nucleoside monomers consisting of naturally occurring bases, sugars, and inter-sugar (backbone) linkages.

- State of the Art
- Insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) is a 67 amino acid polypeptide growth factor that is widely expressed in the developing human embryonic tissues and is related to the growth and differentiation of various tissues. After birth, the expression is progressively extinguished in almost all human tissues. In adult humans, serum levels of approximately 100 ng/ml are mainly produced by the liver. The biological functions of IGF-II are mediated through its binding to either the IGF-II receptor (related to carbohydrate metabolism, motility of malignant cells and/or tumor-induced angiogenesis) or the IGF-I receptor (related to signal transduction pathway and mitogenesis).
- IGF-II has been implicated in tumor progression and metastasis by a variety of mechanisms in many tumors (reviewed in (1, 2)). Tumors with extensive involvement of IGF-II include childhood tumors such as rhabdomyosarcoma, Wilms' tumor and neuroblastoma. These tumors demonstrate overexpression of IGF-II, show existence of a paracrine or autocrine loop and result in inhibition of tumor growth or metastasis upon blockage of the loop. IGF-II contributes to tumor growth and metastasis to varying degrees in a variety of tumors including osteosarcoma, breast carcinoma, hepatoblastoma, germ cell tumors, hepatocellular carcinoma, adrenocortical carcinoma, lung tumors, leiomyosarcoma, brain tumors and colon carcinoma. Furthermore, the direct role of IGF-II in oncogenesis has been elucidated by transgenic mice and human cell lines overexpressing it (3-5).
- The human IGF-II gene is located on chromosome 11p15 just downstream of insulin gene and spans 30 kb (reviewed in (6);see FIG. 1). It consists of 9 exons of which
exons Exons UTR containing exons UTR containing exons - Antisense oligonucleotides (AS-ODNs) have been widely utilized to inhibit gene expression in a target-specific manner by sequence-specific hybridization to target mRNA. In numerous studies, antisense oligonucleotide-mediated repression of oncogenes has revealed that these compounds are not only extremely useful for delineating biochemical mechanisms governing oncogenesis (7), but also considerably promising as novel therapeutic compounds for the treatment of human cancer (8, 9). In addition, relatively less toxicity has been attributed to oligonucleotide-based therapeutics (10).
- A few studies (11, 15-17) have shown that certain antisense oligonucleotides targeted against human or mouse adult IGF-II transcripts were effective in interfering with tumor cell proliferation in vitro. In one study (15), the suppression of IGF-II production by an antisense oligonucleotide targeting the translation start site of human adult transcript has resulted in growth inhibition of human hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines, HuH-7 and HepG2. In another studies (16,17) utilizing human cervical cancer cell line, an antisense oligonucleotide targeting the protein coding region of IGF-II was shown to inhibit epidermal growth factor (EGF)-induced mitogenic effect.
- Therefore, it would be desirable to identify antisense oligonucleotides directed against IGF-II which act to inhibit the expression and production of IGF-II with higher specificity and with less toxicity.

- This invention relates to oligonucleotides that are complementary to mammalian IGF II genes which oligonucleotides modulate tumor cell growth in mammals. It appears that overexpression of IGF-II observed in various human primary cancers and cell lines results from reactivation (in liver) or overexpression (in other organs) of fetal mRNA species. Accordingly, antisense oligonucleotides designed to specifically target fetal transcripts in the 5′UTR, leaving adult transcripts intact, will be highly specific for targeting tumor cells.
- Without being limited to a theory or mechanism, it is believed that these antisense compounds will exert their antitumor activity by not only suppressing autocrine growth of tumor cells and possibly inducing apoptosis, but also inhibiting autocrine/paracrine function of IGF-II, such as tumor cell motility and/or induction of endothelial cell migration and angiogenesis.
- Definitions:
- As used herein, the following terms have the following meanings:
- The term “antisense oligonucleotide” as used herein means a nucleotide sequence that is complementary to the desired mRNA. The antisense oligonucleotide is complementary to any portion of a mammalian IGF-II mRNA that effectively acts as a target for inhibiting IGF-II expression. Preferably, the antisense oligonucleotide is complementary to the 5′ untranslated region of the IGF-II fetal transcript. More preferably, the antisense oligonucleotide is complementary to the nucleotide sequence of
exons - Without being limited to any theory or mechanism, it is generally believed that the activity of antisense oligonucleotides depends on the binding of the oligonucleotide to the target nucleic acid (e.g. to at least a portion of a genomic region, gene or mRNA transcript thereof), thus disrupting the function of the target, either by hybridization arrest or by destruction of target RNA by RNase H (the ability to activate RNase H when hybridized to RNA).
- The term “oligonucleotide” refers to an oligomer or polymer of nucleotide or nucleoside monomers consisting of naturally occurring bases, sugars, and inter-sugar (backbone) linkages. The term also includes modified or substituted oligomers comprising non-naturally occurring monomers or portions thereof, which function similarly. Such modified or substituted oligomers may be preferred over naturally occurring forms because of the properties such as enhanced cellular uptake, or increased stability in the presence of nucleases. The term also includes chimeric oligonucleotides which contain two or more chemically distinct regions. For example, chimeric oligonucleotides may contain at least one region of modified nucleotides that confer beneficial properties (e.g. increased nuclease resistance, increased uptake into cells) or two or more oligonucleotides of the invention may be joined to form a chimeric oligonucleotide.
- The antisense oligonucleotides of the present invention may be ribonucleic or deoxyribonucleic acids and may contain naturally occurring or synthetic monomeric bases, including adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine and uracil. The oligonucleotides may also contain modified bases such as xanthine, hypoxanthine, 2-aminoadenine, 6-methyl, 2-propyl and other alkyl adenines, 5-halo uracil, 5-halo cytosine, 6-aza uracil, 6-aza cytosine and 6-aza thymine, pseudo uracil, 4-thiouracil, 8-halo adenine, 8-aminoadenine, 8-thiol adenine, 8-thiolalkyl adenines, 8-hydroxyl adenine and other 8-substituted adenines, 8-halo guanines, 8-amino guanine, 8-thiol guanine, 8-thioalkyl guanines, 8-hydroxyl guanine and other 8-substituted guanines, other aza and deaza uracils, thymidines, cytosines or guanines, 5-trifluoromethyl uracil and 5-trifluoro cytosine. The modifications may also include attachment of other chemical groups such as methyl, ethyl, propyl groups to the various parts of the oligonucleotides including the sugar, base or backbone components.
- The antisense oligonucleotides of the invention may also comprise modified phosphorus oxygen heteroatoms in the phosphate backbone, short chain alkyl or cycloalkyl intersugar linkages or short chain heteroatom or heterocyclic intersugar linkages. For example, the antisense oligonucleotides may contain methyl phosphonates, phosphorothioates, phosphorodithioates, phosphotriesters, and morpholino oligomers. The antisense oligonucleotides may comprise phosphorothioate bonds linking between the four to six 3′-terminus nucleotides. The phosphorothioate bonds may link all the nucleotides. The phosphorothioate linkages may be mixed RP and SP enantiomers, or they may be stereoregular or substantially stereoregular in either RP or SP form.
- The antisense oligonucleotides may also have sugar mimetics. The oligonucleotide may have at least one nucleotide with a modified base and/or sugar, such as a 2′-O-substituted ribonucleotide. For purposes of the invention, the
term 2′-O-substituted” means substitution of the 2′ position of the pentose moiety with an -O-lower alkyl group containing 1-6 saturated or unsaturated carbon atoms, or with an -O-aryl or allyl group having 2-6 carbon atoms, wherein such alkyl, aryl or allyl group may be unsubstituted or may be substituted, e.g., with halo, hydroxy, trifluoromethyl, cyano, nitro, acyl, acyloxy, alkoxy, carboxyl, carbalkoxyl, or amino groups. The oligonucleotides of the invention may include four or fiveribonucleotides 2′-O-alkylated at their 5′ terminus and/or four or fiveribonucleotides 2′-O-alylated at their 3′ terminus. - The antisense oligonucleotides of the invention may also comprise nucleotide analogues wherein the structure of the nucleotide is fundamentally altered. An example of such an oligonucleotide analogue is a peptide nucleic acid (PNA) wherein the deoxyribose (or ribose) phosphate backbone in DNA (or RNA) is replaced with a polyamide backbone which is similar to that found in peptides (Nielsen et al.29; Good and Nielsen30; Buchardt, deceased, et al.31, U.S. Pat. No. 5,766,855; Buchardt, deceased, et al.32, U.S. Pat. No. 5,719,262). PNA analogues have been shown to be resistant to degradation by enzymes and to have extended lives in vivo and in vitro. PNAs also bind more strongly to a complementary DNA sequence than to a naturally occurring nucleic acid molecule due to the lack of charge repulsion between the PNA strand and the DNA strand.
- The oligonucleotides of the present invention may also include other nucleotides comprising polymer backbones, cyclic backbones, or acyclic backbones. For example, the nucleotides may comprise morpholino backbone structures (U.S. Pat. No. 5,034,506 (33)).
- The oligonucleotides of the present invention are “nuclease resistant” when they have either been modified such that they are not susceptible to degradation by DNA and RNA nucleases or alternatively they have been placed in a delivery vehicle which in itself protects the oligonucleotide from DNA or RNA nucleases. Nuclease resistant oligonucleotides include, for example, methyl phosphonates, phosphorothioates, phosphorodithioates, phosphotriesters, and morpholino oligomers. Suitable delivery vehicles for conferring nuclease resistance include, for example liposomes.
- The oligonucleotides of the present invention may also contain groups, such as groups for improving the pharmacokinetic properties of an oligonucleotide, or groups for improving the pharmacodynamic properties of an oligonucleotide.
- The antisense oligonucleotides are preferably selected from the sequence complementary to the IGF-II gene such that the sequence exhibits the least likelihood of showing duplex formation, hair-pin formation, and homooligomer/sequence repeats but has a high to moderate potential to bind to the IGF-II gene sequences. These properties may be determined using the computer modeling program OLIGO Primer Analysis Software, Version 5.0 (distributed by National Biosciences, Inc., Plymouth, Minn.). This computer program allows the determination of a qualitative estimation of these five parameters.
- Alternatively, the antisense oligonucleotides may also be selected on the basis that the sequence is highly conserved for the IGF-II gene between two or more mammalian species. These properties may be determined using the BLASTN program (Altschul, et al.(34)) of the University of Wisconsin Computer group (GCG) software (Devereux J. et al.(35)) with the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) databases.
- The antisense oligonucleotides may include mutations, such as substitutions, insertions and deletions. Preferably there will be less that 10% of the sequence having mutations.
- The antisense oligonucleotides generally comprise from at least about 3 nucleotides or nucleotide analogs, more preferably they are at least about 5 nucleotides, more preferably they are at least about 7 nucleotides, more preferably they are at least about 9 nucleotides and most preferably they are at least about 20 nucleotides. The antisense oligonucleotides are preferably less than about 100 nucleotides or nucleotide analogs, more preferably, less than about 50 nucleotides or nucleotide analogs, most preferably less than about 35 nucleotide or nucleotide analogs.
- Preferably, the antisense oligonucleotides are complementary to the 5′ untranslated region of the fetal IGF-II transcript. The “untranslated region of the fetal IGF-II transcript” means that part of the IGF-II gene which is transcribed in fetal cells to form the major IGF-II transcript and which does not form part of the adult IGF-II transcript (the major transcript in adult cells). Preferably the “untranslated region of the fetal IGF-II transcript” is exons 4, 5 and 6 of the IGF-II gene. Most preferably, the “untranslated region of the fetal IGF-II transcript” is that substnatially the sequence of
exons - Preferably, the antisense oligonucleotides comprise the sequences set forth in Tables 1 and 2 (below).

- Preparation of the Antisense Oligonucleotides
- The antisense oligonucleotides of the present invention may be prepared by conventional and well-known techniques. For example, the oligonucleotides may be prepared using solid-phase synthesis and in particular using commercially available equipment such as the equipment available from Applied Biosystems Canada Inc., Mississauga, Canada. The oligonucleotides may also be prepared by enzymatic digestion of the naturally occurring IGF-II gene by methods known in the art.
- These oligonucleotides can be prepared by the art recognized methods such as phosphoramidate or H-phosphcate chemistry which can be carried out manually or by an automated synthesizer as described by Uhlmann et al.(21) and Agrawal et al. (22).
- Isolation and Purification of the Antisense Oligonucleotides
- Isolation and purification of the antisense oligonucleotides described herein can be effected, if desired, by any suitable separation or purification such as, for example, filtration, extraction, crystallization, column chromatography, thin-layer chromatography, thick-layer chromatography, preparative low or high-pressure liquid chromatography or a combination of these procedures. However, other equivalent separation or isolation procedures could, of course, also be used.
- An expression vector comprising the antisense oligonucleotide sequence may be constructed having regard to the sequence of the oligonucleotide and using procedures known in the art.
- Vectors can be constructed by those skilled in the art to contain all the expression elements required to achieve the desired transcription of the antisense oligonucleotide sequences. Therefore, the invention provides vectors comprising a transcription control sequence operatively linked to a sequence which encodes an antisense oligonucleotide. Suitable transcription and translation elements may be derived from a variety of sources, including bacterial, fungal, viral, mammalian or insect genes. Selection of appropriate elements is dependent on the host cell chosen.
- Reporter genes may be included in the vector. Suitable reporter genes include β-galactosidase (e.g. lacZ), chloramphenicol, acetyl-transferase, firefly luciferase, or an immunoglobulin or portion thereof. Transcription of the antisense oligonucleotide may be monitored by monitoring for the expression of the reporter gene.
- The vectors can be introduced into cells or tissues by any one of a variety of known methods within the art. Such methods can be found generally described in Sambrook et al.24; Ausubel et al.25; Chang et al.36; Vega et al.37; and Vectors: A Survey of Molecular Cloning Vectors and Their Uses38 and include, for example, stable or transient transfection, lipofection, electroporation and infection with recombinant viral vectors.
- Introduction of nucleic acids by infection offers several advantages. Higher efficiency and specificity for tissue type can be obtained. Viruses typically infect and propagate in specific cell types. Thus, the virus' specificity may be used to target the vector to specific cell types in vivo or within a tissue or mixed culture of cells. Viral vectors can also be modified with specific receptors or ligands to alter target specificity through receptor mediated events.
- It is contemplated that the oligonucleotide of this invention may be a ribozyme which cleaves the mRNA. The ribozyme preferably has a sequence homologous to a sequence of an oligonucleotide of the invention and the necessary catalytic center for cleaving the mRNA. For example, a homologous ribozyme sequence may be selected which destroys the IGF-II mRNA. The ribozyme type utilized in the present invention may be selected from types known in the art. Several ribozyme structural families have been identified including Group I introns, RNase P, the hepatitis delta virus ribozyme, hammerhead ribozymes and the hairpin ribozyme originally derived from the negative strand of the tobacco ringspot virus satellite RNA (sTRSV) (Sullivar 1994, U.S. Pat. No. 5,225,34739). Hammerhead and hairpin ribozyme motifs are most commonly adapted for trans cleavage of mRNAs for gene therapy (Sullivan 1994). Hairpin ribozymes are preferably used in the present invention. In general, the ribozyme is from 30 to 100 nucleotides in length.

- The insoubilized oligonucleotide may be prepared by reacting the material with the suitable insoluble carrier using known chemical or physical methods, for example, cyanogen bromide coupling.
- Pharmaceutical Formulations
- When employed as pharmaceuticals, the antisense oligonucleotides are usually administered in the form of pharmaceutical compositions. These compounds can be administered by a variety of routes including oral, rectal, transdermal, subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, and intranasal. These compounds are effective as both injectable and oral compositions. Such compositions are prepared in a manner well known in the pharmaceutical art and comprise at least one active compound. The pharmaceutical composition is, for example, administered intravenously. It is contemplated that the pharmaceutical composition may be administered directly into the tumor to be treated.
- This invention also includes pharmaceutical compositions which contain, as the active ingredient, one or more of the antisense oligonucleotides associated with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or excipients. In making the compositions of this invention, the active ingredient is usually mixed with an excipient, diluted by an excipient or enclosed within such a carrier which can be in the form of a capsule, sachet, paper or other container. When the excipient serves as a diluent, it can be a solid, semi-solid, or liquid material, which acts as a vehicle, carrier or medium for the active ingredient. Thus, the compositions can be in the form of tablets, pills, powders, lozenges, sachets, cachets, elixirs, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, syrups, aerosols (as a solid or in a liquid medium), ointments containing, for example, up to 10% by weight of the active compound, soft and hard gelatin capsules, suppositories, sterile injectable solutions, and sterile packaged powders.
- In preparing a formulation, it may be necessary to mill the active compound to provide the appropriate particle size prior to combining with the other ingredients. If the active compound is substantially insoluble, it ordinarily is milled to a particle size of less than 200 mesh. If the active compound is substantially water soluble, the particle size is normally adjusted by milling to provide a substantially uniform distribution in the formulation, e.g. about 40 mesh.
- Some examples of suitable excipients include lactose, dextrose, sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, starches, gum acacia, calcium phosphate, alginates, tragacanth, gelatin, calcium silicate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, cellulose, sterile water, syrup, and methyl cellulose. The formulations can additionally include: lubricating agents such as talc, magnesium stearate, and mineral oil; wetting agents; emulsifying and suspending agents; preserving agents such as methyl- and propylhydroxy-benzoates; sweetening agents; and flavoring agents. The compositions of the invention can be formulated so as to provide quick, sustained or delayed release of the active ingredient after administration to the patient by employing procedures known in the art.
- The compositions are preferably formulated in a unit dosage form, each dosage containing from about 1% to about 95%, more usually about 5% to about 90% of the active ingredient. The term “unit dosage forms” refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages for human subjects and other mammals, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active material calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect, in association with a suitable pharmaceutical excipient.
- The antisense oligonucleotide is effective over a wide dosage range and is generally administered in a pharmaceutically effective amount. An effective amount is that amount which when administered alleviates the symptoms. Preferably the effective amount is that amount able to inhibit tumor cell growth. Preferably the effective amount is from about 0.1 mg/kg body weight to about 20 mg/kg body weight. It will be understood, however, that the amount of the antisense oligonucleotide actually administered will be determined by a physician, in the light of the relevant circumstances, including the condition to be treated, the chosen route of administration, the actual compound administered, the age, weight, and response of the individual patient, the severity of the patient's symptoms, and the like. The course of therapy may last from several days to several months or until diminution of the disease is achieved. The antisense oligonucleotide may be administered in combination with other known therapies. When co-administered with one or more other therapies, the oligonucleotide may be administered either simultaneously with the other treatments(s), or sequentially. If administered sequentially, the attending physician will decide on the appropriate sequence of administering the oligonucleotide in combination with the other therapy.
- For preparing solid compositions such as tablets, the principal active ingredient/antisense oligonucleotide is mixed with a pharmaceutical excipient to form a solid preformulation composition containing a homogeneous mixture of a compound of the present invention. When referring to these preformulation compositions as homogeneous, it is meant that the active ingredient is dispersed evenly throughout the composition so that the composition may be readily subdivided into equally effective unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills and capsules.
- The tablets or pills of the present invention may be coated or otherwise compounded to provide a dosage form affording the advantage of prolonged action. For example, the tablet or pill can comprise an inner dosage and an outer dosage component, the latter being in the form of an envelope over the former. The two components can be separated by an enteric layer which serves to resist disintegration in the stomach and permit the inner component to pass intact into the duodenum or to be delayed in release. A variety of materials can be used for such enteric layers or coatings, such materials including a number of polymeric acids and mixtures of polymeric acids with such materials as shellac, cetyl alcohol, and cellulose acetate.
- The liquid forms in which the novel compositions of the present invention may be incorporated for administration orally or by injection include aqueous solutions, suitably flavored syrups, aqueous or oil suspensions, and flavored emulsions with edible oils such as corn oil, cottonseed oil, sesame oil, coconut oil, or peanut oil, as well as elixirs and similar pharmaceutical vehicles.
- Compositions for inhalation or insufflation include solutions and suspensions in pharmaceutically acceptable, aqueous or organic solvents, or mixtures thereof, and powders. The liquid or solid compositions may contain suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients as described herein. Preferably the compositions are administered by the oral or nasal respiratory route for local or systemic effect. Compositions in preferably pharmaceutically acceptable solvents may be nebulized by use of inert gases. Nebulized solutions may be inhaled directly from the nebulizing device or the nebulizing device may be attached to a face mask tent, or intermittent positive pressure breathing machine. Solution, suspension, or powder compositions may be administered, preferably orally or nasally, from devices which deliver the formulation in an appropriate manner.
- The pharmaceutical composition of the invention may be in the form of a liposome, in which the oligonucleotide is combined, in addition to other pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, with amphipathic agents such as lipids which exist in aggregated form as micells, insoluble monolayers, liquid crystals or lamellar layers which are in aqueous solution. Suitable lipids for liposomal formulation include, without limitation, monoglycerides, diglycerides, sulfatides, lysolecithin, phospholipids, saponin, bile acids and the like. One particularly useful lipid carrier is lipofectin. Preparation of such liposomal formulations is within the skill in the art, for example, International Patent No. W097/21808 (28) The pharmaceutical composition may further include compounds such as cyclodextrins and the like which enhance delivery of oligonucleotides into cells or slow release polymers.
- Another preferred formulation employed in the methods of the present invention employs transdermal delivery devices (“patches”). Such transdernal patches may be used to provide continuous or discontinuous infusion of the antisense oligonucleotides of the present invention in controlled amounts. The construction and use of transdermal patches for the delivery of pharmaceutical agents is well known in the art. See, for example, U.S. Pat. 5,023,25240, herein incorporated by reference. Such patches may be constructed for continuous, pulsatile, or on demand delivery of pharmaceutical agents.
- Another preferred method of delivery involves “shotgun” delivery of the naked antisense oligonucleotides across the dermal layer. The delivery of “naked” antisense oligonucleotides is well known in the art. See, for example, Felgner et al.,U.S. Pat. No. 5,580,85941. It is contemplated that the antisense oligonucleotides may be packaged in a lipid vesicle before “shotgun” delivery of the antisense oligonucleotide.

- Other suitable formulations for use in the present invention can be found inRemington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (23).
- The antisense oligonucleotides or the pharmaceutical composition comprising the antisense oligonucleotides may be packaged into convenient kits providing the necessary materials packaged into suitable containers.
- The antisense oligonucleotides of the invention in the form of a therapeutic formulation are useful in treating diseases, and disorders and conditions associated with tumor growth. In such methods a therapeutic amount of a oligonucleotide effective in inhibiting the expression of fetal transcripts of IGF-II is administered to a cell. This cell may be part of a cell culture, a tissue culture, or may be part of the whole body of a mammal such as a human.
- The oligonucleotides and ribozymes of the invention modulate tumor cell growth. Therefore methods are provided for interfering or inhibiting tumor cell growth in a mammal comprising contacting the tumor or tumor cells with an antisense oligonucleotide of the present invention.
- The term “contact” refers to the addition of an oligonucleotide, ribozyme, etc. to a cell suspension or tissue sample or administering the oligonucleotides etc. directly or indirectly to cells or tissues within an animal.
- The methods may be used to treat proliferative disorders including various forms of cancer or tumors such a leukemias, lymphomas (Hodgkins and non-Hodgkins), sarcomas, melanomas, adenomas, carcinomas of solid tissue, hypoxic tumors, squamous cell carcinomas of the mouth, throat, larynx and lung, genitourinary cancers such as cervical and bladder cancer, hematopoietic cancers, colon cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, renal cancer, brain cancer, skin cancer, liver cancer, head and neck cancers, and nervous system cancers, as well as benign lesions such as papillomas. Other proliferative disorders such as psoriasis and those involving arthrosclerosis are also included.
- The oligonucleotides of the invention may also be used to treat drug resistant tumors. Examples of drug resistant tumors are tumors resistant to such chemotherapeutic agents as 5-fluorouracil, mitomycin C, methotrexate or hydroxyurea and tumors expressing high levels of P-glycoprotein which is known to confer resistance to multiple anticancer drugs such as colchicine, vinblastine and doxorubicin; or tumors expressing multi-drug resistance protein as described by Dreeley et al.(28). Accordingly, it is contemplated that the oligonucleotides of the present invention may be administered in conjunction with or in addition to known anticancer compounds or chemotherapeutic agents. Chemotherapeutic agents are compounds which may inhibit the growth of tumors. Such agents, include, but are not limited to, 5-fluorouracil, mitomycin C, methotrexate and hydroxyurea. It is contemplated that the amount of chemotherapeutic agent may be either an effective amount, i.e. an amount sufficient to inhibit tumor growth or a less than effective amount.
- The oligonucleotides of the present invention have been found to reduce the growth of tumors that are metastatic such as C8161 melanoma cells. In an embodiment of the invention, a method is provided for reducing the growth of metastastic tumors in a mammal comprising administering an effective amount of an oligonucleotide from about 3 to about 100 nucleotides, comprising a sequence complementary to the 5′ untranslated region of mammalian fetal IGF-II mRNA. The sequence may be selected from the group of oligonucleotides shown in Table 1. In another embodiment, a method is provided for reducing the growth of metastastic tumors in a mammal comprising administering an effective amount of an oligonucleotide from about 20 to about 100 nucleotides, comprising a sequence selected from the group of SEQ ID NO: 17-31 set forth in Table 2.
- The oligonucleotides may be delivered using viral or non-viral vectors. Sequences may be incorporated into cassettes or constructs such that an oligonucleotide of the invention is expressed in a cell. Preferably, the construct contains the proper transcriptional control region to allow the oligonucleotide to be transcribed in the cell.
- Therefore, the invention provides vectors comprising a transcription control sequence operatively linked to a sequence which encodes an oligonucleotide of the invention. The present invention further provides host cells, selected from suitable eucaryotic and procaryotic cells, which are transformed with these vectors.
- Suitable vectors are known and preferably contain all of the expression elements necessary to achieve the desired transcription of the sequences. Phagemids are a specific example of such beneficial vectors because they can be used either as plasmids or as bacteriophage vectors. Examples of the vectors include viruses such as bacteriophages, baculoviruses, retroviruses, DNA viruses, liposomes and other recombination vectors. The vectors can also contain elements for use in either procaryotic or eucaryotic host systems. One of ordinary skill in the art will know which host systems are compatible with a particular vector.
- The vectors can be introduced into the cells by stable or transient transfection, lipofection, electroporation and infection with recombinant viral vectors.
- Additional features can be added to the vector to ensure its safety and/or enhance its therapeutic efficacy. Such features include, for example, markers that can be used to negatively select against cells infected with recombinant viruses. An example of such a negative selection marker is the TK gene which confers sensitivity to the antiviral gancyclovir. Features that limit expression to particular cell types can also be included. Such features include, for example, promoter and regulatory elements that are specific for the desired cell type.
- Retroviral vectors are another example of vectors useful for the in vivo introduction of a desired nucleic acid because they offer advantages such as lateral infection and targeting specificity. Lateral infection is the process by which a single infected cell produces many progeny virions that infect neighboring cells. The result is that a large area becomes rapidly infected.
- A vector to be used in the methods of the invention may be selected depending on the desired cell type to be targeted. For example, if breast cancer is to be treated, then a vector specific for epithelial cell may be used. Similarly, if cells of the hematopoietic system are to be treated, then a viral vector that is specific for blood cells is preferred.
- Utility
- The antisense oligonucleotides of the present invention may be used for a variety of purposes. They may be used to inhibit the expression of the IGF-II gene in a mammalian cell, resulting in the inhibition of growth of that cell. The oligonucleotides may be used as hybridization probes to detect the presence of the IGF-II mRNA in mammalian cells. When so used the oligonucleotides may be labeled with a suitable detectable group (such as a radioisotope, a ligand, another member of a specific binding pair, for example, biotin). Finally, the oligonucleotides may be used as molecular weight markers.

- General Methods in Molecular Biology:
- Standard molecular biology techniques known in the art and not specifically described were generally followed as in Sambrook et al.24; Ausubel et al.25; and Perbal26.
- Oligonucleotides
- The antisense oligonucleotides were selected from the sequence complementary to the IGF-II mRNA such that the sequence exhibits the least likelihood of showing duplex formation, hairpin formation, and homooligomers/sequence repeats but has a high potential to bind to the IGF-II mRNA sequence. In addition, a false priming to other frequently occurring or repetitive sequences in human and mouse was eliminated. These properties were determined using the computer modeling program OLIGO® Primer Analysis Software, Version 5.0 International Biosciences, Inc. Plymouth Minn.). Based on this analysis, phosphorothioate antisense oligonucleotides were designed and then made by methods well known in the art.
- Cell Lines
- Five different human cancer cell lines including embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (RD), neuroblastoma (SK-N-AS), Wilms' tumor (G401), melanoma (C8161), human prostate adenocarcinoma (PC-3), metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma (AsPC-1) were obtained from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). The cell lines were maintained in cc-MEM medium (Gibco BRL, Gaithersburg, Md.) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS).
- The colony forming ability of cancer cell lines treated with different phosphorothioate antisense oligonucleotides was estimated using a method previously described (Choy et al.18). Specifically, aliquots of a tumor cell suspension were seeded into 60 mm tissue culture dishes at a density of approximately 1×104 and incubated overnight at 37° C. in α-MEM medium supplemented with 10% FBS. Cells were washed once in 5 ml of PBS and treated with 0.2 μM of the indicated antisense oligonucleotides in the presence of cationic lipid (Lipofectin reagent, final concentration, 5 μg/ml, Gibco-BRL, Gaithersburg, Md.) for 4 hours. The antisense oligonucleotides were removed by washing the cells once with PBS and the cells were cultured in growth medium (α-MEM medium supplemented with 10% FBS) for 7 to 10 days at 37° C. Colonies were stained with methylene blue and scored by direct counting as described (Choy et al. 18 and Huang and Wright20). Percent inhibition was calculated by comparison with the number of colonies present in cultures grown in the absence of antisense oligonucleotides. All experiments were performed in quadruplicate.
- The antisense oligonucleotides exerted inhibitory effects on the colony forming ability of the human tumor cell lines. The percent inhibition of each antisense oligonucleotide is shown in FIG. 2A for rhabdomyosarcoma (RD); FIG. 2B for human prostate cancer cell line (PC-3); FIG. 2C for human pancreatic cancer cell line (AsPC-1); and FIG. 2D for human neuroblastoma cell line (SK-N-AS).
- Human neuroblastoma cells (SK-N-AS) or rhabdomyosarcoma cells (RD) were grown to subconfluency (70-80%) and were treated with 0.2 μM of phosphorothioate antisense oligonucleotides complementary to IGF-II for 4 hours in the presence of cationic lipid (Lipofectin reagent, final concentration, 5 μg/ml, Gibco-BRL) and Opti-MEM (Gibco-BRL). Cells were washed once with PBS and incubated for 16 hours in α-MEM medium (Gibco-BRL) containing 10% FBS. Total RNA was prepared in TRIzol reagent (Gibco-BRL) and Northern blot analysis was performed as described in Hurta and Wright(27) with some modifications. The blots were hybridized with32P-labeled 389 bp PCR fragments synthesized using forward primer (5′-TAC CGC CCC AGT GAG ACC CT-3′) [SEQ ID NO:32], reverse primer (5′-TGA CGT TTG GCC TCC CTG AA-3′) [SEQ ID NO:33] and the human
colorectal adenocarcinoma 5′-stretch plus cDNA library (Clonetech, Palo Alto Calif.) as a template. Human IGF-II mRNA was expressed as a −6 kb nucleotide transcript (Werner et al.6). Equal RNA loading was demonstrated by methylene blue staining of the blot prior to hybridization. - FIG. 3 shows that the antisense oligonucleotides reduce the IGF-II mRNA levels to at least 50% of the control cells.
- Human neuroblastoma cells (SK-N-AS) or rhabdomyosarcoma cells (RD) were grown to subconfluency (70-80%) and were treated with 0.2 μM of phosphorothioate antisense oligonucleotides complementary to IGF-II for 4 hours in the presence of cationic lipid (Lipofectin reagent, final concentration, 5 μg/ml, Gibco-BRL) and Opti-MEM (Gibco-BRL). Cells were washed once with PBS and incubated for 20 hours in α-MEM medium (Gibco-BRL) containing 10% FBS. The treatments and incubations were repeated once more before the whole cell protein extracts were prepared in 2× sample loading buffer (100 mM Tris-HCl, pH 6.8, 0.2 M DTT, 4% SDS, 20% glycerol and 0.015% bromophenol blue).
- Western blot analysis was performed as described previously (Choy et al.(18); Fan et al. (19)) with some modification. The expression of IGF-II was detected with anti-IGF-II antibody (1-2 μg/ml) (Research Diagnostics Inc., Flanders N.J.) followed by horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-goat IgG (sigma, St. Loius Mo.) at a dilution of 1:7,000. Approximately 7.5 kDa protein was visualized by ECL (Amersham, Arlington heights, Ill.)

- CD-1 athymic nude mice were purchased from Charles River Laboratories (Montreal Canada). SK-N-AS human neuroblastoma cells (typically 3×106 cells in 100 μl of PBS) were subcutaneously injected into the right flank of 6-7 weeks old CD-1 athymic female nude mice. Each experimental group included 5 mice. After the size of tumor reached an approximate volume of 100 mm3, typically 6 days post tumor cell injection, the various antisense oligonucleotides were administered by bolus infusion into the tail vein every other day at 10 mg/kg. Control animals received saline alone for the same period. Treatments typically lasted 14 days thereafter.
- FIG. 6A shows the effects of the various antisense oligonucleotides on human neuroblastoma tumor growth in CD-1 nude mice. Antitumor activities were estimated by the inhibition of tumor volume, which was measured with a caliper on average of two day intervals over the span of 14 days. Each point in the figure represents mean tumor volume calculated from 5 animals per experimental group. Analysis of covariance was used to compare the regression curves of mice over time within each treatment group. Specific hypothesis of equality of slopes, or equality of intercepts when slopes are equal are derived from the analysis. All analysis used the SAS (Statistical Analysis System) version 6.12. When compared to the saline control, administration of the antisense oligonucleotide inhibited the growth of the tumor with a p value of <0.0001.
- At the end of the treatment (usually 24 hours after the last treatment) the animals were sacrificed and tumor weights were measured. FIG. 6B shows the mean weight of the tumors. The antisense oligonucleotides showed significant inhibitory effects on tumor growth. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare the means of groups of treatments. Where the overall group effect was significant, a priori multiple comparisons using the least square means was used to find the pairs of treatment groups that were significantly different. When tumor weight was compared the antisense oligonucleotides also showed statistically significant inhibition when compared to the saline control.

G401 human Wilms' tumor cells (typically 3×106 cells in 100 μl of PBS) were subcutaneously injected into the right flank of 6-7 weeks old CD-1 athymic female nude mice. Each experimental group included 5 mice. After the size of tumor reached an approximate volume of 100 mm3, typically 8 days post tumor cell injection, the various antisense oligonucleotides were administered by bolus infusion into the tail vein every other day at 10 mg/kg. Control animals received saline alone for the same period. Treatments typically lasted 18 days thereafter.
- FIG. 7A shows the effects of the various antisense oligonucleotides on human Wilms' tumor growth in CD-1 nude mice. Antitumor activities were estimated by the inhibition of tumor volume, which was measured with a caliper on average of two day intervals over the span of 18 days. Each point in the figure represents mean tumor volume calculated from 5 animals per experimental group. Analysis of covariance was used to compare the regression curves of mice over time within each treatment group. Specific hypothesis of equality of slopes, or equality of intercepts when slopes are equal are derived from the analysis. All analysis used the SAS (Statistical Analysis System) version 6.12. When compared to the saline control, administration of the antisense oligonucleotide inhibited the growth of the tumor with a p value of ≦0.0002.
- At the end of the treatment (usually 24 hours after the last treatment) the animals were sacrificed and tumor weights were measured. FIG. 7B shows the mean weight of the tumors.

Control animals received saline alone for the same period. Mice were sacrificed after 7 injections and excised tumor fragments of similar size were immediately collected into TRIzol reagent (GIBCO BRL) and rapidly homogenized for mRNA preparation.
- To measure the effects of antisense oligonucleotides on IGF-II mRNA levels, northern blot analysis was performed as previously described (Hurta and Wright (27)) with some modifications.

colorectal adenocarcinoma 5′-stretch plus cDNA library (Clonetech, Palo Alto Calif.) as a template. Human IGF-II mRNA was expressed as a −6 kb nucleotide transcript (Werner et al.6) and its levels were compared to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GADPH) mRNA as previously described (Hurta and Wright (27)). - FIG. 8 shows that the level of IGF-II mRNA was reduced in tumor treated with the antisense oligodeoxynucleotide GTI4006 [SEQ ID NO:6].
- CD-1 athymic nude mice were purchased from Charles River Laboratories (Montreal Canada). SK-N-AS human neuroblastoma cells (typically 3×106 (cells in 100 μl of PBS) were subcutaneously injected into the right flank of 6-7 weeks old CD-1 athymic female nude mice. Each experimental group included 5 mice.

Control animals received saline alone for the same period. Mice were sacrificed after 7 injections and excised tumor fragments of similar size were immediately collected into RIPA extraction buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 150 mM leupeptin) and rapidly homogenized for protein preparation.
- To measure the effects of antisense oligodeoxynucleotides on IGF-II protein levels, western blot analysis was performed as previously described (Choy et al. (18), Fan et al. (19)) with some modification. The protein extracts (10-20 μg) were fractionated on a 15% SDS-PAGE gel and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes and visualized by India ink staining. The expression of IGF-II was detected with anti-IGF-II antibody (1-2 μg/ml) (Research Diagnostics Inc., Flanders N.J.) followed by horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-goat IgG (sigma, St. Loius Mo.) at a dilution of 1:7,000. Approximately 7.5 kDa protein was visualized by ECL (Amersham, Arlington Heights, Ill.).
- FIG. 9 shows the western blot of the protein extracted from the tumor cells. Each of the antisense oligonucleotides tested reduced the IGF-II protein levels in the tumors. A part of the blot stained with India ink is shown underneath to demonstrate an equal loading in each lane.
- Experimental metastasis of C8161 human melanoma cells treated with different antisense oligonucleotides was estimated as previously described (Fan et al., 199619). Aliquots of cell suspension were seeded into 100 mm tissue culture dishes at a density of 2×106 and incubated overnight at 37° C. in A-MEM medium supplemented with 10% FBS. Cells were washed once in 10 ml of PBS and treated with 0.2 μM of oligonucleotides in the presence of cationic lipid (Lipofectin reagent, final concentration, 5 μg/ml, Gibco-BRL) for 4 hours. The antisense oligonucleotides were removed by washing the cells once with PBS and the cells were trypsinized. Cells were then collected by centrifugation, and approximately 1×105 cells suspended in 0.1 ml of PBS were injected into the tail veins of 6-8 week old CD-1 athymic female nude mice. Estimates of the number of lung tumors were made 5 weeks later, after excised lungs from individual mice were stained with picric acid dye solution (75% picric acid, 20% formaldehyde, 5% glacial acetic acid).
- FIG. 10 shows the reduced number of lung tumors in the female nude mice after treatment of the tumor cells with the various antisense oligodeoxynucleotides.
