The gene transfer of soluble VEGF type I receptor (Flt-1) attenuates peritoneal fibrosis formation in mice but not soluble TGF-beta type II receptor gene transfer

Peritoneal fibrosis formation is a consequence of inflammation/injury and a significant medical problem to be solved. The effects of soluble VEGF receptor type I (sFlt-1) gene transfer on experimental peritoneal fibrosis were examined and compared with soluble transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) receptor type II (sTGF beta RII) gene transfer. Male C57BL/6 mice were injected with 1.5 x 10(8) plaque-forming unit of adenovirus encoding active TGF-beta (AdTGF beta) intraperitoneally. Some mice had been treated with sTGF betaRII or sFlt-1 plasmid injection into skeletal muscle with electroporation 4 days before virus administration. Mice were euthanized at day 14 after virus administration. AdTGF beta induced significant elevation of serum active TGF-beta, caused significant inflammatory response [weight loss, elevation of serum amyloid-P (SAP) and IL-12, increased expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) mRNA], and induced marked thickening of the peritoneum and collagen deposition. Gene transfer of sFlt-1 reduced the collagen deposition approximately 81% in mesenteric tissue. Treatment with sFlt-1 decreased ICAM-1 and MCP-1 mRNA expression significantly. Significant negative correlation between serum sFlt-1 and placental growth factor level was observed, whereas there was no significant negative correlation between sFlt-1 and VEGF. On the other hand, sTGF beta RII treatment enhanced the AdTGF beta-induced inflammation (significant elevation of SAP, TNF-alpha, and IL-12 levels and upregulation of ICAM-1 and MCP-1 mRNA expressions) and failed to prevent collagen deposition. These observations indicate that sFlt-1 gene transfer might be of therapeutic benefit in peritoneal fibrosis.     

Characterization of the VEGF binding site on the Flt-1 receptor.

The angiogenic growth factor VEGF binds to the receptor tyrosine kinases Flt-1 and KDR/Flk-1. Immunoglobulin (Ig)-like loop-2 of Flt-1 is involved in binding VEGF, but the contribution of other Flt-1 Ig-loops to VEGF binding remains unclear. We tested the ability of membrane-bound chimeras between the extracellular domain of Flt-1 and the cell adhesion molecule embigin to bind VEGF. VEGF bound as well to receptors containing Flt-1 loops 1-2 or 2-3 as it did to the entire Flt-1 extracellular domain. Chimeras containing only loop-2 of Flt-1 bound VEGF with 22-fold lower affinity. We conclude that high-affinity VEGF binding requires Ig-like loop-2 plus either loop-1 or loop-3. In addition, Flt-1 amino acid residues Arg-224 and Asp-231 were not essential for high-affinity binding of VEGF to membrane-bound Flt-1.     

Optimized Expression of Full-Length IgG1 Antibody in a Common E. coli Strain

Multi-polypeptide proteins such as antibodies are difficult to express in prokaryotic systems such as E. coli due to the complexity of protein folding plus secretion. Thus far, proprietary strains or fermenter cultures have been required for appreciable yields. Previous studies have shown that expression of heterologous proteins in E. coli can be enhanced by the reduction of protein translation rates. In this paper, we demonstrate that useful quantities of full-length IgG can be expressed and purified from the common E. coli laboratory strain HB2151 in standard shaking culture using a simple strategy of reduced inducer concentration combined with delayed induction times to modulate translation rates. Purified IgG had only marginally reduced avidity compared to mammalian derived IgG. This indicates that this technique can be used to derive antibodies of potentially equal utility as those expressed in mammalian cell culture, particularly for applications where effector functions mediated by the glycosylated residues in the Fragment Crystallizable (Fc) portion of the immunoglobulin are not required.     

The VEGF receptor Flt-1 spatially modulates Flk-1 signaling and blood vessel branching

Blood vessel formation requires the integrated regulation of endothelial cell proliferation and branching morphogenesis, but how this coordinated regulation is achieved is not well understood. Flt-1 (vascular endothelial growth factor [VEGF] receptor 1) is a high affinity VEGF-A receptor whose loss leads to vessel overgrowth and dysmorphogenesis. We examined the ability of Flt-1 isoform transgenes to rescue the vascular development of embryonic stem cell-derived flt-1-/- mutant vessels. Endothelial proliferation was equivalently rescued by both soluble (sFlt-1) and membrane-tethered (mFlt-1) isoforms, but only sFlt-1 rescued vessel branching. Flk-1 Tyr-1173 phosphorylation was increased in flt-1-/- mutant vessels and partially rescued by the Flt-1 isoform transgenes. sFlt-1-rescued vessels exhibited more heterogeneous levels of pFlk than did mFlt-1-rescued vessels, and reporter gene expression from the flt-1 locus was also heterogeneous in developing vessels. Our data support a model whereby sFlt-1 protein is more efficient than mFlt-1 at amplifying initial expression differences, and these amplified differences set up local discontinuities in VEGF-A ligand availability that are important for proper vessel branching.

Expression of human interleukin-2 receptor cDNA in E. coli

cDNAs for human interleukin-2 receptor were recently cloned and sequenced (Leonard et al., 1984, Nature 311, 626-631; Nikaido et al., 1984, Nature 311, 631-635; Cosman et al., Nature 312, 768-771). In the studies reported here, we describe the expression of a cDNA clone for the human interleukin-2 receptor in E. coli using an "open reading frame" expression vector pMR100. The inserted cDNA was expressed in E. coli transformants as a tripartite fusion polypeptide fused to the lambda cI protein at its amino terminus and to beta-galactosidase at its carboxy terminus. We demonstrate that the bacterially produced IL-2 receptor protein can bind to IL-2.
