Assay to Test for IL-4 Antagonism
Induction of a B Cell Differentiation Marker, CD 23, on Jijoye Cells
Jijoye cells ATCC) were grown routinely in RPMI containing 15% horse serum and 5% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Cells were split every third day.
For assay, Jijoye cells were placed in exponential growth 24 hours prior to initiation; 5.times.10.sup.5 cells/ml were suspended in media with serial dilutions of test compound to a volume of 1 ml. After 24 hours, fresh media (with IL-4) was added 1:1 to a total volume of 2 ml. The total incubation time for the assay was 48 hours at 37.degree. C. and 5% CO.sub.2. At termination of the experiment, the cells were removed and washed twice in RPMI 1640 containing 5% FBS. To the pellet a 1:4 dilution of MAb 25 (anti-CD23) in RPMI 5% was added and incubated for 30 minutes at 4.degree. C. The anti-CD23 monoclonal antibody MAb 25 was provided by Unicet. The cells were washed twice in PBS containing 1% FBS, centrifuged to a pellet, and resuspended in 100 .mu.l of a 1:10 dilution of FITC-conjugated F(ab).sub.2 goat anti-mouse IgG. After a 30 minute incubation at 4.degree. C., the cells were washed twice in PBS and then counted using a Becton-Dickinson FACscan Cytofluorometer.
As used herein compound AA denotes the compound of the structural formula 14988: ##STR18## In Vitro Enhancement of G-CSF Production
In order to determine the effect of compound AA on human G-CSF production, human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNC's) were prepared (as described in Ficoll-Paque: For in vitro isolation of lymphocytes (booklet) 1983 Pharmacia, Uppsala Sweden; which is hereby incorporated by reference) and cultured as described (in Oster et al, 1989 Blood 73:64. which is hereby incorporated by reference) with 5 .mu.g/ml phytohemagglutin (PHA) in the presence of varying concentrations of compound AA or vehicle (0.1% dimethylsulfoxide, DMSO). After 40 hours, culture supernatant was collected and cytokine levels measured by ELISA (R&D Systems, Minneapolis Minn.). Alternatively mRNA was prepared by standard protocols from these cells after 24 hour incubation, reverse-transcribed and subjected to polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
Addition of compound AA resulted in a 4-5-fold increase in G-CSF levels, with an effective concentrations (EC.sub.50) of 15 .mu.M. This effect was specific for G-CSF, since no change in the production of TNF.alpha., TNF.beta., IL-1.alpha., IL-1.beta., IL-3, IL-6, IL-8, or GM-CSF was observed. Similar results were obtained with peripheral blood elutriated monocytes (prepared as described in Wahl L. M. and P.D. Smith, in Current Protocols in Immunology, J. Coligan et al Eds. 1991 Chapter 7, Wiley & Sons, New York which is hereby incorporated by reference) incubated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
Steady-state G-CSF mRNA levels were also increased in cultures of PHA-stimulated PBMNC's and LPS-stimulated monocytes, indicating modulation of transcriptional or post-transcriptional activation of the G-CSF gene by compound AA.
These data indicate that compound AA specifically enhances G-CSF production by both PBMNC's and monocytes, suggesting that this compound may possess clinical utility in accelerating recovery from neutropenia due to chemo- or radio-therapy, or after bone marrow transplantation.
In Vivo Acceleration of Recovery from Neutropenia in Cyclophosphamide-treated Mice
To test the activity of compound AA in enhancing peripheral neutrophil numbers and accelerating recovery of the neutrophil compartment, BALB/cJ mice were rendered neutropenic by treatment with a single sublethal dose of CY on day 0. Mice were then treated daily, starting on day 1, with 40 mg/kg compound AA or vehicle (carboxymethyl cellulose CMC) and sacrificed on days 3, 5, 6, 8 or 10 and granulocyte populations in peripheral blood and spleen analyzed by flow cytometry. Granulocytes were detected using the RB6-8C5 antibody, specific for granulocytes (see Hestdal et al 1991 J. Immunol. 147:22. which is hereby incorporated by reference) and the Mac-1 antibody, specific for myeloid cells (see Springer et al JEur. J. Immunol. 9: 301). At each time point, vehicle or compound AA -treated animals were compared to normal, age-matched control mice which did not receive CY. Compound AA administration accelerated granulocyte recovery in both blood and spleen, with a return to normal numbers by day 5 in blood and day 4 in spleen. These granulocytes were confirmed to be exclusively segmented neutrophils by cytological examination. Neutrophil recovery was delayed by 1-2 days in CY-dosed mice given vehicle, compared to compound AA-treated animals. No changes in percentage or number of monocytes were observed. No evidence of gross toxicity or abnormalities were a observed as well.
These data indicate that compound AA does in fact accelerate recovery from neutropenia in CY-treated mice, suggesting that it would have similar activity in neutropenic patients.
Measurement of Endogenous G-CSF in CY-dosed Mice Administered Compound AA
Acceleration of neutrophil recovery by compound AA may occur by stimulating neutrophil development at the level of the bone marrow (see Demetri et al 1991 Blood 78: 2791). To confirm that compound AA was acting in vivo by enhancing endogenous G-CSF production, bone marrow steady-state G-CSF mRNA levels were determined by PCR. Compound AA treatment enhanced G-CSF mRNA levels.
These data indicate that this compound enhances neutrophil recovery by its G-CSF stimulating activity.
Comparison of Compound AA with rhG-CSF
Exogeneous G-CSF administration is now standard therapy for patients undergoing a neutropenic episode. In order to compare compound AA treatment with G-CSF therapy in the CY model described above, we administered either compound AA or recombinant human G-CSF daily to mice made neutropenic with CY. Granulocyte levels in peripheral blood were determined on day 5. The ability of compound AA at 40 mg/kg to enhance peripheral blood neutrophil numbers was comparable to that of 250 mg/kgrhG-CSF and was greater than that observed in animals treated with 50-125 mg/kg rhG-CSF.
These data indicate that 40 mpk SCH compound AA is as or more efficaceous in restoring blood neutrophil levels in CY-treated mice than rhG-CSF.
