Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention pertains to BORIS isoform polypeptides and related compounds and compositions, andto the use of such polypeptides, compounds, and compositions for the detection and treatment ofdiseases associated with abnormal BORIS expression, such as cancer.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The identification of tumor-associated antigens recognized by a mammalian immune system is usefulfor the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. A variety of tumor-associated antigens have been identified,including cancer/testis antigens that are expressed in cancer cells, but not in normal tissues other thantestis. Only a minority of tumor-associated antigens, however, are immunogenic to the mammal thatproduces them.

BORIS (Brother of the Regulator of Imprinted Sites) is a tumor-associated antigen, which is activatedin a wide range of human cancers. In fact, aberrant synthesis of the BORIS gene product has beenfound in over 300 primary tumors and cancer cell lines representing all major types of human cancerswith recurrent 20q13 chromosomal gains. BORIS activation has also been found in all of the standardNCI-60 cancer cell lines, which are maintained by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), and which arethought to be a reasonably complete representative set of human cancers.

BORIS also is a CTCF paralog, which contains all eleven zinc fingers of CTCF, and has been shownto promote cell growth leading to transformation (see Loukinov et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci (USA) 99,6806-6811 (2002), and International Patent Application Publication WO 03/072799 (PCT/US03/05186)). BORIS has, therefore, also been referred to as "CTCF-like" or "CTCFL" protein. Onemechanism of action by which BORIS is thought to cause cancer through interference with themaintenance of an appropriate methylation pattern in the genome mediated by CCCTC binding factor(CTCF) (see Klenova et al., Seminars in Cancer Biology 12, 399-414 (2002)). The BORIS gene isbelieved to map to the cancer-associated amplification region of chromosome 20q13.

The detection of aberrant expression of cancer markers, such as prostate specific antigen (PSA) andcarcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), are known in the art. These assays, however, detect only a limitednumber of cancers and have limited positive predictive value for the detection or prognosis of new orrecurring cancer. Accordingly, there is a need in the art to identify additional antigens whoseexpression can be linked to hyperproliferative diseases, such as cancer, as well as methods ofdetecting the presence of such antigens to aid in the detection, diagnosis, prognostication, or research

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIGS. 1A-1D are illustrations depicting alternative splice variants expressed by the BORIS gene inthe human testes.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The BORIS polypeptide disclosed in Klenova et al., Seminars in Cancer Biology 12, 399-414 (2002)comprises the amino acid sequence provided herein as SEQ ID NO: 43, and is encoded by the mRNAsequence provided herein as SEQ ID NO: 44. This BORIS polypeptide, however, is only one of afamily of polypeptides encoded by the BORIS gene. BORIS mRNA splice variants encoding BORISand BORIS isoforms are described herein, including twenty-four specific examples of BORIS isoformmRNA transcripts that encode seventeen different BORIS isoform polypeptides. The exemplaryBORIS isoform mRNA transcripts each comprise a nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NOs: 1-24, andthe seventeen BORIS isoform polypeptides comprise a nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NOs: 25-42.The BORIS isoform mRNA transcripts and the polypeptides encoded thereby are set forth in Table 1.In particular, the BORIS isoform mRNA transcripts comprising the nucleotide sequences of SEQ IDNOs: 1, 2, and 3 encode a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence identical to that of thepreviously disclosed BORIS polypeptide (e.g., SEQ ID NO: 43). Although these mRNA transcriptsencode the same BORIS polypeptide, the mRNA transcripts are, themselves, alternative spice variantsof the previously disclosed BORIS mRNA and, therefore, comprise different nucleotide sequences.The other BORIS isoform polypeptides comprise amino acid sequences that are different from theBORIS polypeptide previously disclosed in Klenova et al., supra.

For the purposes of describing the invention, the terms "BORIS" and "BORIS polypeptide" shall beused to refer to the BORIS polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 43, andthe term "BORIS mRNA" shall be used to refer to an mRNA transcript having a nucleotide sequenceof SEQ ID NO: 44.

The terms "BORIS isoform" and "BORIS isoform polypeptide" shall be used herein to refer to apolypeptide encoded by a splice variant mRNA transcript of the BORIS gene, which has an aminoacid sequence that is different from SEQ ID NO: 43. Examples of BORIS isoform polypeptides

United States Patent: 8440415 http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=...

7 of 51 8/2/13 4:48 PM

include polypeptides comprising an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQID NOs: 25-42. The term "BORIS isoform mRNA" shall be used to refer to an mRNA splice variantof the BORIS gene, which has a nucleotide sequence that is different from SEQ ID NO: 44. Examplesof BORIS isoform mRNA transcripts include mRNA molecules that comprise a nucleic acid sequenceencoding an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 25-42, or anucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 1-24.

The term "BORIS gene" shall be used herein to refer to the genomic sequence of BORIS, whichencodes the BORIS polypeptide as well as the BORIS mRNA splice variants (e.g., BORIS isoformmRNA transcripts) and BORIS isoform polypeptides.

As used herein, the term "isolated" means the removal of a nucleic acid or polypeptide molecule fromits natural environment. The term "purified" means that a given nucleic acid or polypeptide molecule,whether it has been removed from nature or synthesized and/or amplified under laboratory conditions,has been increased in purity, wherein "purity" is a relative term, not "absolute purity."

As used herein, the term "nucleic acid" is intended to encompass a polymer of DNA or RNA, (i.e., apolynucleotide), which can be single-stranded or double-stranded and which can contain non-naturalor altered nucleotides. Similarly, a "polypeptide" is intended to encompass a linear sequence of aminoacids (i.e., a primary protein structure) of any length, as well secondary, tertiary, and quaternaryprotein structures, any of which can contain non-natural or altered amino acids.

Some aspects of the invention are described with reference to the use of an antibody. It is intendedthat the use of an antibody can be substituted by the use of an antibody fragment of any of the variousknown forms (e.g., F(ab)2' fragments, single chain antibody variable region fragment (ScFv) chains,and the like). Thus, for the sake of brevity, term "antibody" as used herein is intended to encompassantibodies as well as antibody fragments. Wherever the term "antibody" is used, it is specificallycontemplated that an antibody fragment can be used instead.

The term "selectively binds" as used herein means to bind to a target molecule (e.g., polypeptide ornucleic acid) with a greater affinity or with preference as compared to another polypeptide or nucleicacid. Thus, for instance, a probe selectively binds a target BORIS isoform mRNA transcript if it bindssuch target with preference or greater affinity than to a nucleic acid that is not a BORIS isoformmRNA transcript. Similarly, an anti-BORIS antibody selectively binds a BORIS isoform if it bindssuch target isoform with preference or greater affinity than to a polypeptide that is not a BORISisoform. Selectively binds also can be used to mean that a molecule binds one BORIS isoformpolypeptide or mRNA transcript with preference, or greater affinity, than another BORIS isoformpolypeptide or mRNA transcript.

The invention provides a method of detecting a disease characterized by abnormal gene expression,such as a hyperproliferative disease involving abnormal BORIS expression (e.g., cancer) in amammal. In this respect, "abnormal BORIS expression" means the expression of BORIS in the tissuesor body fluids of a mammal that do not express the BORIS gene in the absence of disease, asdiscussed in greater detail herein.

United States Patent: 8440415 http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=...

According to one aspect of the invention, the method comprises testing for the expression of one ormore BORIS isoforms in a tissue or body fluid of a mammal that does not express the BORIS isoformin the absence of disease. The one or more BORIS isoforms can, for example, comprise an amino acidsequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 25-42. In a related aspect of theinvention, the method comprises testing for the expression of one or more BORIS isoform mRNAtranscripts in a tissue or body fluid of a mammal that does not express the BORIS isoform mRNA inthe absence of disease. The one or more BORIS isoform mRNA transcripts can comprise a nucleotidesequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 1-24. The expression of a BORISisoform or BORIS isoform mRNA transcript, as described above, in such a tissue or fluid of themammal is indicative of the presence of disease in the mammal.

The terms "testing" and "detecting" (and permutations thereof) as used herein mean to investigate ordetermine the presence of a condition. Thus, for instance, "testing for" or "detecting" the expression ofa gene or gene product means to investigate or determine whether the gene is being expressed or thegene product is present.

Preferably, the method of detecting a disease comprises testing for the expression of more than oneBORIS isoform. For instance, the method can comprise testing for the expression of two or moreBORIS isoform polypeptides or BORIS isoform mRNA transcripts, preferably five or more, 10 ormore, 15 or more, or even all of such BORIS isoform polypeptides or mRNA transcripts. Whether themethod involves the detection of one BORIS isoform polypeptide or BORIS isoform mRNAtranscript, or more than one of BORIS isoform polypeptides or BORIS isoform mRNA transcripts, themethod of detecting a disease also can comprise testing for the expression of a BORIS polypeptidecomprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 43, or an mRNA transcript comprising thenucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 44.

The method of the invention can be used to detect any disease characterized by or associated withabnormal BORIS expression including, but not limited, to the detection of cancer. As mentionedabove, BORIS mRNA has been detected in several hundred cancer and tumor cell lines representingmost of the major forms of cancer. Thus, the method of the invention can be used to detect any type ofcancer. Such cancers include, but are not limited to, cancer of the oral cavity and pharynx, thedigestive system (e.g., the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, rectum, anus, liver, gall bladder,and pancreas), the respiratory system (e.g., the larynx, lung, and bronchus, including non-small celllung carcinoma), bones and joints (e.g., bony metastases), soft tissue, the skin (e.g., melanoma),breast, the genital system (e.g., the uterine cervix, uterine corpus, ovary vulva, vagina, prostate, testis,and penis), the urinary system (e.g., the urinary bladder, kidney, renal pelvis, and ureter), the eye andorbit, the brain and nervous system (e.g., glioma), or the endocrine system (e.g., thyroid). The canceralso can be a lymphoma (e.g., Hodgkin's disease and Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma), multiple myeloma,or leukemia (e.g., acute lymphocytic leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, acute myeloidleukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia, and the like).

Furthermore, as demonstrated herein, not all cancers are associated with the expression of the sameBORIS isoforms. Accordingly, by testing for the expression of one or more different BORIS isoforms,it is possible to generate a BORIS expression pattern that can be used to distinguish between differenttypes of cancers, or to detect a specific type of cancer. Thus, the method of detecting a disease

United States Patent: 8440415 http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=...

associated with abnormal BORIS expression preferably comprises a step of comparing the BORISexpression of the mammal to a control, which comparison can be used, for example, to classify thetype of disease with which the mammal might be afflicted. Any suitable control can be used for thispurpose. Typically, the control can be provided by a BORIS expression pattern corresponding to aparticular type of disease or cancer (e.g., the BORIS expression pattern of a mammal known to beafflicted with a particular type of disease or cancer).

Testing for the expression of one or more BORIS isoforms or BORIS isoform mRNA transcripts canbe performed using any suitable technique. Typically, a sample of the tissue or body fluid of themammal that does not express the BORIS gene (i.e., does not express the BORIS polypeptide or anyisoform thereof) in the absence of disease is obtained, and the sample is tested for the expression of aBORIS isoform or BORIS isoform mRNA transcript. The BORIS gene is normally expressed only inthe testes and ovaries. Accordingly, a sample of any tissue or body fluid other than a testicular orovarian tissue sample can be used. The sample can be a solid sample or the sample can be fluid, suchas a sample of body fluid. For instance, a section of whole tissue can be used forimmunohistochemistry-based analysis, or can be homogenized to liquefy the components found in thetissue. The sample preferably is a fluid. Suitable fluid samples include, but are not limited to, blood,serum, plasma, lymph, and interstitial fluid.

Testing for the expression of one or more BORIS isoforms can comprise, for example, directlydetecting one or more BORIS isoform polypeptides, or detecting one or more mRNA transcripts thatencode a BORIS isoform polypeptide. Suitable methods of detecting protein levels in a sampleinclude Western Blotting, radio-immunoassay, and Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbant Assay (ELISA).Such methods are described in Nakamura et al., Handbook of Experimental Immunology, 4th ed.,Wol. 1, Chapter 27, Blackwell Scientific Publ., Oxford, 1987. When detecting proteins in a sampleusing an immunoassay, the sample is typically contacted with antibodies or antibody fragments (e.g.,F(ab)2' fragments, single chain antibody variable region fragment (ScFv) chains, and the like) thatspecifically bind the target protein (e.g., BORIS isoform polypeptide). Thus, BORIS isoformpolypeptides can be detected, for example, by contacting a sample of the tissue or body fluid of themammal with an antibody or antibody fragment to the BORIS isoform, and detecting the binding ofthe antibody or antibody fragment with a BORIS isoform from the sample. Antibodies and otherpolypeptides suitable for detecting BORIS isoform polypeptides in conjunction with immunoassaysare commercially available and/or can be prepared by routine methods, such as methods discussedelsewhere herein (e.g., Harlow et al., Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring HarborPublishers, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y., 1988).

The immune complexes formed upon incubating the sample with the antibody are subsequentlydetected by any suitable method. In general, the detection of immune complexes is well-known in theart and can be achieved through the application of numerous approaches. These methods are generallybased upon the detection of a label or marker, such as any radioactive, fluorescent, biological orenzymatic tags or labels of standard use in the art. U.S. patents concerning the use of such labelsinclude U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,817,837, 3,850,752, 3,939,350, 3,996,345, 4,277,437, 4,275,149 and4,366,241.

For example, the antibody used to form the immune complexes can, itself, be linked to a detectable

label, thereby allowing the presence of or the amount of the primary immune complexes to bedetermined. Alternatively, the first added component that becomes bound within the primary immunecomplexes can be detected by means of a second binding ligand that has binding affinity for the firstantibody. In these cases, the second binding ligand is, itself, often an antibody, which can be termed a"secondary" antibody. The primary immune complexes are contacted with the labeled, secondarybinding ligand, or antibody, under conditions effective and for a period of time sufficient to allow theformation of secondary immune complexes. The secondary immune complexes are then washed toremove any non-specifically bound labeled secondary antibodies or ligands, and the remaining labelin the secondary immune complexes is then detected.

Other methods include the detection of primary immune complexes by a two-step approach. A secondbinding ligand, such as an antibody, that has binding affinity for the first antibody can be used to formsecondary immune complexes, as described above. After washing, the secondary immune complexescan be contacted with a third binding ligand or antibody that has binding affinity for the secondantibody, again under conditions effective and for a period of time sufficient to allow the formation ofimmune complexes (tertiary immune complexes). The third ligand or antibody is linked to adetectable label, allowing detection of the tertiary immune complexes thus formed. A number of otherassays are contemplated; however, the invention is not limited as to which method is used.

Similarly, mRNA transcripts encoding a BORIS isoform can be detected by any suitable technique.Typically, a sample of the tissue or body fluid of the mammal (e.g., the RNA material of such asample) is contacted with a nucleic acid probe that binds to an mRNA transcript encoding a BORISisoform, and the binding of the nucleic acid probe with a BORIS isoform from the sample is detected.Suitable methods of detecting or measuring mRNA include, for example, Northern Blotting, reverse-transcription PCR(RT-PCR), and real-time RT-PCR. Such methods are described in Sambrook et al.,Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 2nd Ed., Cold Spring Harbor Press, Cold Spring Harbor,N.Y. 1989. Of these methods, real-time RT-PCR is typically preferred. In real-time RT-PCR, which isdescribed in Bustin, J. Mol. Endocrinology. 25: 169-193 (2000), PCRs are carried out in the presenceof a labeled (e.g., fluorogenic) oligonucleotide probe that hybridizes to the amplicons. The probes canbe double-labeled, for example, with a reporter fluorochrome and a quencher fluorochrome. When theprobe anneals to the complementary sequence of the amplicon during PCR, the Taq polymerase,which possesses 5' nuclease activity, cleaves the probe such that the quencher fluorochrome isdisplaced from the reporter fluorochrome, thereby allowing the latter to emit fluorescence. Theresulting increase in emission, which is directly proportional to the level of amplicons, is monitoredby a spectrophotometer. The cycle of amplification at which a particular level of fluorescence isdetected by the spectrophotometer is called the threshold cycle, CT. This value is used to comparelevels of amplicons. Probes suitable for detecting mRNA levels of the biomarkers are commerciallyavailable and/or can be prepared by routine methods, such as methods discussed elsewhere herein.Specific protocols for these and other methods of detecting polypeptides and mRNA transcripts insamples of mammalian tissues and body fluids are well known in the art (see, e.g., Sambrook et al.,supra).

Alternatively, the expression of BORIS isoforms can be tested indirectly by detecting the presence ofauto-antibodies to the BORIS isoforms in the mammal. Without wishing to be bound to any particulartheory, it is believed that the abnormal expression of BORIS isoforms in tissues and body fluids where

BORIS isoforms are not normally found (e.g., other than the testes or ovaries) causes the immunesystem of the mammal to produce antibodies to the BORIS isoforms that can be detected in a sample(e.g., the tissues, sera, or bloodstream) obtained from the diseased mammal. In the absence of such adisease, the BORIS isoforms are confined to the tissues and organs in which they are normally foundin a non-diseased mammal, and the immune system of the mammal does not produce antibodiesagainst the BORIS isoforms. Thus, a sample taken from a non-diseased mammal (e.g., a mammalwithout a disease characterized by abnormal BORIS expression) will not contain anti-BORIS isoformantibodies. Accordingly, by detecting the presence or absence of anti-BORIS isoform antibodies in thesample of a mammal, the method of the invention enables a determination as to whether the mammalhas a disease characterized by abnormal BORIS expression, such as cancer.

Any suitable method of detecting anti-BORIS auto-antibodies in a sample can be used.Auto-antibodies to the BORIS isoforms can be detected, for instance, by contacting a sample of tissueor body fluid of the mammal with one or more BORIS isoforms or immunogenic portions thereof(e.g., one or more isolated or purified polypeptides comprising an immunogenic portion of the aminoacid sequence of any of SEQ ID NOs: 25-42). The sample can be contacted with a BORISpolypeptide using any suitable method known in the art. Preferably, the sample is contacted with aBORIS polypeptide in vitro or ex vivo. In vitro and ex vivo methods for detecting antibodies in asample are well known in the art and include, for example, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA), affinity chromatography, and radioimmunoassay (RIA).

By "immunogenic" or "immunoreactive" portion of a BORIS isoform is meant any portion of thefull-length BORIS isoform (e.g., SEQ ID NOs: 25-42) that can generate an immune response in amammal in vivo, bind to an anti-BORIS antibody or autoantibody in vivo or in vitro, or comprises oneor more epitopes of a BORIS isoform. As used herein, the term "portion" is synonymous with theterm "fragment," both of which are used to refer to contiguous part of a polypeptide comprising about5 or more amino acids, such as about 10 or more, about 15 or more, about 20 or more, about 25 ormore, or even about 30 or more amino acids). Of course, a full length BORIS isoform can provide theimmunogenic portion; however, it can be more convenient to use a shorter portion of a BORISisoform. One can determine whether any given portion of a BORIS isoform is immunogenic usingroutine techniques in view of the disclosures provided herein. For example, anti-BORIS antibodies toa BORIS isoform can be obtained from a mammal by introducing the BORIS isoform, or portionthereof, into the mammal and subsequently harvesting antibodies from the mammal using routinetechniques. The given "test" portion of the BORIS isoform can be contacted with the anti-BORISantibodies, and the binding affinity of the antibody to the portion of the BORIS isoform can bemeasured to determine whether the anti-BORIS antibodies bind to the given "test" portion of theBORIS isoform. If the antibodies bind to the test portion of the BORIS isoform, the test portion of theBORIS isoform is considered immunogenic. Other methods of determining whether a given portion ofa BORIS isoform is immunogenic are available.

Suitable immunogenic portions of a BORIS isoform include the amino-terminal portion of a BORISisoform (the "N-terminal domain"), defined as the region extending from the amino-terminal up to thezinc finger domain, or at least some portion thereof comprising about 100 or more amino acids (e.g.,200 or more, 250 or more, 300 or more, 400 or more, or 500 or more amino acids). Another suitableportion of a BORIS isoform polypeptide includes the carboxyl-terminal portion (the "C-terminal

United States Patent: 8440415 http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=...

12 of 51 8/2/13 4:48 PM

domain"), defined as the region starting after the zinc-finger domain and terminating at the carboxyl-terminus of BORIS, or at least some portion thereof comprising about 75 or more amino acids (e.g.,about 100 or more, about 200 or more, about 300 or more, or about 400 or more amino acids).

The immunogenic portion of the BORIS isoform can be part of a larger polypeptide construct thatcomprises an amino acid sequence that is different from that of the native BORIS isoform. Forinstance, the immunogenic portion of a BORIS isoform can be part of a polypeptide constructcomprising one or more different immunogenic portions of one or more different BORIS isoformslinked together, for example, by non-native amino acid sequences. Such a polypeptide construct mightcomprise, for instance, at least a portion of each of the N-terminal domain and the C-terminal domainof one or more different BORIS isoforms, as described herein. More preferably, the BORISpolypeptide construct comprises the entire N-terminal domain and C-terminal domain of one or moreBORIS isoforms. It is further preferred that the BORIS polypeptide construct excludes any zinc fingerdomain of the BORIS isoform.

Even smaller portions of a BORIS isoform can provide an immunogenic portion, provided that aBORIS isoform epitope is present in the portion or fragment. By "epitope" is meant a sequence on anantigen that is recognized by an antibody or an antigen receptor. Epitopes also are referred to in the artas "antigenic determinants." An immunogenic portion of the BORIS isoform can be less than about660, 200, 150, 100, 60, 50, 30, 20, 15, or 12 amino acid residues in length, so long as it can be boundby an anti-BORIS antibody. The immunogenic portion of the BORIS isoform preferably comprises atleast about 10, 11, or 12 amino acids; however, immunogenic portions of a BORIS isoformcomprising fewer than 11 amino acids (e.g., about 4, 6, 8, or 10 or more amino acids) also are withinthe scope of the invention. Of course, the preferred number of amino acids also can be expressed interms of ranges within any of the above-described preferred limits (e.g., 10-200 amino acids, 10-100amino acids, 10-50 amino acids, 10-20 amino acids, etc.).

An immunogenic portion of a BORIS isoform also can be provided by a variant of the amino acidsequence of a BORIS isoform. As used herein, the term "variant" is used to refer to a sequence that isaltered in the specific amino acid or nucleotide sequence, but retains the required function of thenative sequence. With respect to the immunogenic portion of a BORIS isoform, a variant of theBORIS isoform retains the function of binding to an antibody to the BORIS isoform. BORIS isoformvariants can be generated and characterized for their ability to bind with an anti-BORIS antibody or afunctional fragment thereof (e.g., a Fab or F'(ab).sub.2) using the information provided herein. Forexample, BORIS isoform variants can be generated using, for example, site-directed or randommutagenesis of a nucleic acid sequence encoding a BORIS isoform, as provided herein. The bindingcharacteristics of the BORIS variant thus produced can be determined, for example, by measuring thebinding affinity of antibodies to a BORIS isoform to the variant. Such antibodies can be obtained, forinstance, from the serum of a mammal inoculated with a native BORIS isoform, or from the serum ofa mammal with cancer.

A variant of a BORIS isoform desirably shares one or more regions of amino acid sequence identitywith a native BORIS isoform. In this regard, the variant preferably comprises an amino acid sequencethat is at least about 50% identical (e.g., at least about 60%, at least about 70%, at least about 80%, orat least about 90% identical) to the amino acid sequence of a native BORIS isoform. More preferably,

United States Patent: 8440415 http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=...

13 of 51 8/2/13 4:48 PM

the variant comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least about 75% identical (e.g., at least about85%, or at least about 95% identical) to an amino acid sequence of a native BORIS isoform. Mostpreferably, the polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least about 90% identical(e.g., at least about 95%, at least about 97%, or at least about 99% identical) to an amino acidsequence of a native BORIS isoform. As used herein, sequence identity is as determined using thewell-known BLAST algorithms (e.g., BLASTp, BLAST 2.1, BL2SEQ, and later versions thereof)).Variants of a BORIS isoform capable of binding to anti-BORIS antibodies preferably have at least 5,6, or 7 amino acid residues that are identical to the amino acid sequence of a native BORIS isoformover a window of eight amino acid residues.

Any immunogenic portion of a BORIS isoform can be used alone or in conjunction with otherimmunogenic portions of the same or different BORIS isoforms. The immunogenic portion of aBORIS isoform, whether used alone or in conjunction with other immunogenic portions of a BORISisoform, also can be part of a larger polypeptide (e.g., inserted into (or otherwise attached to) another(i.e., "non-BORIS") protein). Without intending to be bound by any particular theory, it is believedthat different individuals will have immunogenic responses to BORIS isoforms based on the MHCmolecules expressed on their antigen presenting cells (e.g., macrophages). Accordingly, the portion ofBORIS isoforms that is immunogenic can vary from individual to individual. Moreover, anautoreactive antibody response directed against both the N-terminal and C-terminal domains ofBORIS isoforms has been detected in some cancer patients. Thus, it is preferably the use of more thanone immunogenic portion of the BORIS isoforms (e.g., more than one BORIS isoform epitope).When more than one immunogenic portion is used, the different immunogenic portions can beprovided, for example, by several discontiguous polypeptides used simultaneously (e.g., two or morepolypeptides each comprising a different immunogenic portion of a BORIS isoform) or by a singlepolypeptide comprising two or more different immunogenic portions of BORIS (e.g., linked by anon-native linker sequence).

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, two or more immunogenic portions of one or moreBORIS isoforms are linked by a flexible linker amino acid sequence. Such a construct also cancomprise an immunogenic portion of the BORIS polypeptide. Flexible linkers are used in the art tojoin two distinct polypeptides, such as, for example, in the construction of fusion or chimeric proteins.Thus, for example, an N-terminal domain portion and a C-terminal domain portion of one or moreBORIS isoforms can be linked via a flexible linker sequence to form a single polypeptide molecule.The flexible linker can be any suitable amino acid sequence that can be used to join to separatepolypeptide domains. In this regard, the flexible linker preferably comprises about 5 or more aminoacids (e.g., about 6 or more, 7 or more, or 9 or more amino acids), more preferably about 10 or moreamino acids (e.g., about 11 or more, 12 or more, or 14 or more amino acids), and most preferablyabout 15 or more amino acids (e.g., about 17 or more, 20 or more, or 25 or more amino acids). Linkersequences as well as methods for joining polypeptide domains using flexible linkers are known in theart (see, e.g., Imanishi et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 333(1), 167-73 (2005); Lin et al.,Eur. Cytokine Netw., 15(3), 240-6 (2004)).

The BORIS isoforms or immunogenic portions thereof can be joined to other biomolecules, such as,for example, proteins, polypeptides, lipids, carbohydrates, prenyl, and acyl moieties, and nucleicacids. For instance, the BORIS isoforms or immunogenic portions thereof can be attached to a

signaling moiety (also known as a detectable label). The identity and use of signaling moieties iswell-known in the art. A signaling moiety is a molecule capable of indicating the presence of ananalyte or reagent in a sample, usually after manipulation of the sample. Such manipulations ofteninclude incubating a sample and appropriate detection reagents under conditions allowing twomoieties to bind together, if present, and then removing any of the labeled moiety from the sample viawashing, filtration, or other suitable techniques. Other methods of working with signaling moieties arewell-known in the art. Suitable signaling moieties include, but are not limited to, fluorescentmolecules (e.g., green fluorescent protein), fluorescent quenchers, epitopes and haptens for antibodiesthat do not recognize BORIS (e.g., the well-known FLAG epitope), enzymes (e.g., chromogenic orluminescent (such as horse radish peroxidase or .beta.-galactosidase)), a nucleic acid that can beamplified or specifically hybridized to a probe, biotin, avidin or streptavidin, lectins and colloids.Methods for linking proteins with detectable labels and solid supports are well-known in the art.

The antibody or autoantibody detected in accordance with a method of the invention preferably bindswith greater affinity to BORIS or a BORIS isoform than to CCCTC-binding-factor (CTCF), or theantibody or autoantibody does not bind CTCF at all. Thus, the method of the invention preferablycomprises detecting an anti-BORIS isoform antibody or autoantibody with a binding affinity forBORIS or a BORIS isoform that is greater than its binding affinity for CTCF. This is particularlyadvantageous where the portion of BORIS used comprises the zinc-finger domain of BORIS. Morepreferably, the dissociation constant (K.sub.d) of binding under standard conditions between theantibody detected by the method of the invention and BORIS is at least 10-fold less, more preferablyat least 100-fold less, or even 1000-fold less than the K.sub.d of binding between the same antibodyand CTCF. In some embodiments, binding of antibodies in a patient's serum to CTCF can be used as anegative control. When antibodies or autoantibodies to a particular BORIS isoform are desired, themethod preferably comprises detecting such an antibody or autoantibody with a greater bindingaffinity for the desired target BORIS isoform than for other BORIS isoforms.

In a preferred embodiment, the method of detecting cancer or method of detecting anti-BORISantibodies includes determining the class and/or subclass of the antibodies present in the patient'sbody, or sample derived therefrom, that are reactive with BORIS. One of ordinary skill in the art willappreciate that the five major human immunoglobulin classes (or "isotypes") are immunoglobulin M(i.e., IgM), IgD, IgG, IgA, and IgE, which are typically defined by the structure of the constantregions of the antibody heavy chain. The light chain of a human antibody molecule is typicallyclassified in the art as either a lambda (.lamda.) chain or a kappa (.kappa.) chain. IgG antibodies canbe subdivided further into four subtypes (i.e., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4), whereas IgA antibodiestypically are subdivided into two subtypes (i.e., IgA1 and IgA2). It is well-known in the art how todetermine the class and subclass of isolated or purified antibodies. For example, BORIS-reactiveantibodies can be isolated from a human's serum by immunochromatography. Wells of microtiterplates can be coated with 10 .mu.g/ml of anti-human immunoglobin overnight at 4.degree. C. Afterblocking with 5% BSA, the plates are reacted with 10 .mu.g/ml of a monoclonal antibody or purifiedisotype controls, at ambient temperature for two hours. The wells can then be reacted with humanIgG1-specific, IgG2-specific, IgG3-specific or IgG4-specific or human IgM-specific alkalinephosphatase-conjugated probes. After washing, the plates can be developed with a luminogenic orchromogenic substrate and analyzed for light or color development.

The methods of detecting a disease and detecting abnormal BORIS expression can be used in differentways. For example, the method can be used simply to establish the existence of a disease state for thepurposes of diagnosis or screening. In addition, the method can be used, for example, to monitor thestatus (e.g., progression or regression) of a disease state, such as by comparing the level ofanti-BORIS antibodies (or BORIS expression levels) from different samples over time. Such a usewould be helpful in monitoring the response of patients to a particular therapeutic regimen.

In a related aspect, the invention also provides a method of detecting abnormal BORIS expression forpurposes other than the detection of disease. The detection of abnormal BORIS expression can beused for any suitable purpose, such as for prognosticating, monitoring, or researching diseasescharacterized by abnormal gene expression, especially abnormal BORIS expression, includingwithout limitation hyperproliferative diseases such as cancer. For instance, the methods of detectingabnormal BORIS expression is can be used to monitor the effect of drugs and other therapies onvarious diseases, especially various cancers described herein, in connection with the development ofnew or existing drugs or therapies, or as part of an established therapy regimen. Also, the methods ofdetecting abnormal BORIS expression can be used to generate BORIS expression profiles, which, inturn, can be used in accordance with methods of screening for, detecting, diagnosing, prognosticating,monitoring, or researching disease. The method of detecting abnormal BORIS expression cancomprise testing for the expression of one or more BORIS isoforms comprising an amino acidsequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 25-42, or testing for the expression ofone or more BORIS isoform mRNA transcripts comprising a nucleotide sequence selected from thegroup consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 1-24, in the tissue of a mammal that does not express the BORISisoform in the absence of a disease. All other aspects of the method of detecting abnormal BORISexpression are as described with respect to the method of detecting a disease associated with abnormalBORIS expression.

The mammal used in conjunction with the methods described herein can be any suitable mammal,such as dogs, cats, cows, goats, pigs, mice, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, gerbils, monkeys, and hamsters.The mammal preferably is a human.

Isolated or Purified Polypeptide, Nucleic Acid, Antibody, Cell, and Composition

The invention provides an isolated or purified polypeptide comprising, consisting essentially of, orconsisting of an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 25-42, or animmunogenic portion thereof. The immunogenic portion of a BORIS isoform can comprise, consistessentially of, or consist of any of those immunogenic portions described herein as useful inconjunction with the method of detecting a disease or method of detecting an anti-BORISautoantibody. The term "consisting essentially of" is used herein to mean that the polypeptide cannotcomprise any other biologically active amino acid sequence, but can contain other non-biologicallyactive sequences or other components such as regulatory or signal sequences, reporter constructs,linker molecules, targeting or delivery components, and the like.

If desired, the isolated or purified polypeptide can be modified, for instance, by glycosylation,amidation, carboxylation, or phosphorylation, or by the creation of acid addition salts, amides, esters,in particular C-terminal esters, and N-acyl derivatives of the polypeptide molecules of the invention.

United States Patent: 8440415 http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=...

16 of 51 8/2/13 4:48 PM

The polypeptide molecules also can be dimerized or polymerized. Moreover, the polypeptidemolecules can be modified to create polypeptide derivatives by forming covalent or non-covalentcomplexes with other moieties in accordance with methods known in the art. Covalently-boundcomplexes can be prepared by linking the chemical moieties to functional groups on the side chains ofamino acids comprising the polypeptides, or at the N- or C-terminus.

The isolated or purified polypeptide can be manufactured using any suitable method. In this regard,nucleic acid sequences encoding BORIS isoforms or immunogenic portions thereof can besynthetically produced using, for example, the nucleic acid sequences provided herein, and expressedin an appropriate host cell, thereby resulting in production of a BORIS isoform or immunogenicportion thereof. Alternatively, BORIS isoforms and immunogenic portions thereof can be synthesizedusing, for example, the amino acid sequences disclosed herein and protein synthesis methods knownin the art. Alternatively, BORIS isoforms can be isolated from a mammal, and, as desired,immunogenic portions thereof can be generated using proteases that cleave within the full-lengthBORIS isoforms. As discussed above, BORIS isoforms or immunogenic portions thereof can belabeled with a signaling moiety or detectable label, or linked to a solid support.

The invention also provides an isolated or purified nucleic acid comprising, consisting essentially ofor consisting of a nucleic acid sequence encoding an amino acid sequence selected from the groupconsisting of SEQ ID NOs: 25-42, or an immunogenic portion thereof, as well as an isolated orpurified nucleic acid comprising, consisting essentially of, or consisting of a nucleotide selected fromthe group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 1-24. The term "consisting essentially of" is used herein tomean that the nucleic acid cannot comprise any other sequence that codes for a biologically activeprotein, but can contain other nucleic acid sequences or other components such as regulatorysequences, reporter constructs, linker molecules, and the like.

The present invention also provides a vector comprising an above-described isolated or purifiednucleic acid molecule. A nucleic acid molecule as described above can be cloned into any suitablevector and can be used to transform or transfect any suitable host. The selection of vectors andmethods to construct them are commonly known to persons of ordinary skill in the art and aredescribed in general technical references (see, in general, "Recombinant DNA Part D," Methods inEnzymology, Vol. 153, Wu and Grossman, eds., Academic Press (1987)).

Suitable vectors include those designed for propagation and expansion or for expression or both.Examples of suitable vectors include plasmids, phagemids, cosmids, viruses, and other vehiclesderived from viral or bacterial sources. Preferably, the vector is a viral vector and is selected from thegroup consisting of an adenovirus, adeno-associated virus, retroviruses, SV40-type viruses, polyomaviruses, Epstein Barr viruses, papillomaviruses, herpes virus, vaccinia virus and polio virus. Mostpreferably, the vector is an adenoviral vector.

When an adenoviral vector is used in the context of the present invention, the adenoviral vector can bederived from any serotype of adenovirus. Adenoviral stocks that can be employed as a source ofadenovirus can be amplified from the adenoviral serotypes 1 through 51, which are currently availablefrom the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, Va.), or from any other serotype ofadenovirus available from any other source. For instance, an adenovirus can be of subgroup A (e.g.,

United States Patent: 8440415 http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=...

17 of 51 8/2/13 4:48 PM

serotypes 12, 18, and 31), subgroup B (e.g., serotypes 3, 7, 11, 14, 16, 21, 34, and 35), subgroup C(e.g., serotypes 1, 2, 5, and 6), subgroup D (e.g., serotypes 8, 9, 10, 13, 15, 17, 19, 20, 22-30, 32, 33,36-39, and 42-47), subgroup E (serotype 4), subgroup F (serotypes 40 and 41), or any otheradenoviral serotype. Preferably, however, an adenovirus is of serotype 2, 5 or 9. However, non-groupC adenoviruses can be used to prepare adenoviral vectors for delivery of one or more non-nativenucleic acid sequences to a desired tissue. Preferred adenoviruses used in the construction ofnon-group C adenoviral vectors include Ad12 (group A), Ad7 (group B), Ad30 and Ad36 (group D),Ad4 (group E), and Ad41 (group F). Non-group C adenoviral vectors, methods of producingnon-group C adenoviral vectors, and methods of using non-group C adenoviral vectors are disclosedin, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,801,030; 5,837,511; and 5,849,561 and International PatentApplications WO 97/12986 and WO 98/53087.

In preferred embodiments, the adenoviral vector of the present invention is deficient in one or morereplication-essential gene functions. Regions contained within the adenoviral genome which areessential for replication include E1a, E1b, E2, E4, and L1-L5. By "deficient" is meant a disruptioncontained within at least one of the above-mentioned regions such that the gene product encoded bythe region is produced in a reduced amount as compared to normal levels. Suitable disruptions includepoint mutations, substitutions, deletions, insertions, and inversions. Typically, the adenoviral vector isdeficient in one or more replication-essential gene functions of the E1a, E1b, E3 and/or E4 region.

A nucleic acid sequence encoding a marker protein, such as green fluorescent protein or luciferasealso can be present in the vector. Such marker proteins are useful in vector construction anddetermining vector migration. Marker proteins also can be used to determine points of injection inorder to efficiently space injections of a vector composition to provide a widespread area of treatment,if desired. Alternatively, a nucleic acid sequence encoding a selection factor, which also is useful invector construction protocols, can be part of the adenoviral vector.

Negative selection genes may be incorporated into any of the above-described vectors. A preferredembodiment is an HSV tk gene cassette (Zjilstra et al., Nature, 342: 435 (1989); Mansour et al.,Nature, 336: 348 (1988); Johnson et al., Science, 245: 1234 (1989): Adair et al., PNAS, 86: 4574(1989); Capecchi, M., Science, 244: 1288 (1989), incorporated herein by reference) operably linked toa viral promoter in a viral vector. The tk expression cassette (or other negative selection expressioncassette) is inserted into the viral genome, for example, as a replacement for a substantial deletion of anon-essential viral gene. Other negative selection genes will be apparent to those of skill in the art.

The vector of the present invention can comprise a native or non-native regulatory sequence operablylinked to an isolated or purified nucleic acid molecule as described above. If more than one nucleotidesequence is included in the nucleic acid molecule, each sequence can be operably linked to its ownregulatory sequence. The "regulatory sequence" is typically a promoter sequence or promoter-enhancer combination, which facilitates the efficient transcription and translation of the nucleic acidto which it is operably linked. The regulatory sequence can, for example, be a mammalian or viralpromoter, such as a constitutive or inducible promoter. Exemplary viral promoters which functionconstitutively in eukaryotic cells include, for example, promoters from the simian virus, papillomavirus, adenovirus, human immunodeficiency virus, Rous sarcoma virus, cytomegalovirus, Moloneyleukemia virus and other retroviruses, and Herpes simplex virus. Other constitutive promoters are

known to those of ordinary skill in the art. The promoters useful as regulatory sequences of theinvention also include inducible promoters. Inducible promoters are expressed in the presence of aninducing agent. For example, the metallothionein promoter is induced to promote transcription andtranslation in the presence of certain metal ions. Other inducible promoters are known to those ofordinary skill in the art and can be used in the context of the invention, when desired. The selection ofpromoters, e.g., strong, weak, inducible, tissue-specific and developmental-specific, is within the skillin the art. Similarly, the combining of a nucleic acid molecule as described above with a promoter isalso within the skill in the art.

The term "operably linked" as used herein can be defined when a nucleic acid molecule and theregulatory sequence are covalently linked in such a way as to place the expression of the nucleotidecoding sequence under the influence or control of the regulatory sequence. Thus, a regulatorysequence would be operably linked to a nucleic acid molecule if the regulatory sequence were capableof effecting transcription of that nucleic acid molecule such that the resulting transcript is translatedinto the desired protein or polypeptide.

The present invention further provides a cell (i.e., a host cell) comprising an isolated or purifiednucleic acid molecule or a vector as described above, preferably a cell that expresses a BORISisoform or immunogenic portion thereof, as described herein. Examples of host cells include, but arenot limited to, a prokaryotic or eurkaryotic host cell. Prokaryotic cells include those derived from E.coli, B. subtilis, P. aerugenosa, S. cerevisiae, and N. crassa. Preferably, the host cell is derived from amammal, such as a human.

An antibody (polyclonal or monoclonal) to a BORIS isoform or immunogenic portion thereof also iscontemplated as part of the invention, as well as a cell line that produces a monoclonal antibody to aBORIS isoform or immunogenic portion. Such "hybridoma cell lines" desirably produce amonoclonal antibody that is specific for a BORIS isoform. Methods of making polyclonal antibodiesand hybridomas are known in the art (see, e.g., Roitt I., Immunology, 4.sup.th Ed., Mosby, N.Y.(1996)). Typically, the antibody will be specific for a region of a BORIS isoform or a region of animmunogenic portion of a BORIS isoform. Typically, the region will be the N- or C-terminal portionof the BORIS isoform. Alternatively, the antibody can be specific for a zinc finger region of a BORISisoform. Such an antibody will have a greater affinity for zinc finger regions of a BORIS isoform ascompared to other proteins containing similar zinc finger regions (e.g., CTCF); thus being able todistinguish between the two molecules. Antibodies of the invention can be employed for bothdiagnostic and therapeutic applications as they are described herein.

The invention further provides a composition comprising an isolated or purified polypeptide, nucleicacid, or antibody as described herein and a carrier, preferably a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.The phrase "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier," as used herein, refers to a carrier that does notinterfere with the effectiveness of the biological activity of the active ingredients and which is nottoxic to the host or patient. The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can be in avariety of forms. These include, for example, solid, semi-solid and liquid dosage forms, such astablets, pills, powders, liquid solutions or suspensions, liposomes, injectable and infusible solutions.Inhalable preparations, such as aerosols, are also included. Preferred formulations are those directedto oral, intranasal and parenteral applications, but it will be appreciated that the preferred farm will

depend on the particular diagnostic or therapeutic application. The methods for the formulation andpreparation of pharmaceutical compositions are well known in the art and are described in, forexample, Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Company, Philadelphia, Pa., 17thed. (1985), The Merck Index, 11th ed., (Merck & Co. 1989), and Langer, Science, 249, 1527-1533(1990).

The composition can comprise more than one active ingredient. Alternatively, or additionally, thecomposition can comprise another pharmaceutically active agent or drug. For example, when treatingcancer, other anticancer compounds can be used in conjunction with the composition of the presentinvention and include, but are not limited to, all of the known anticancer compounds approved formarketing in the United States and those that will become approved in the future. See, for example,Table 1 and Table 2 of Boyd, Current Therapy in Oncology, Section 1. Introduction to CancerTherapy (J. E. Niederhuber, ed.), Chapter 2, by B.C. Decker, Inc., Philadelphia, 1993, pp. 11-22. Moreparticularly, these other anticancer compounds include doxorubicin, bleomycin, vincristine,vinblastine, VP-16, VW-26, cisplatin, carboplatin, procarbazine, and taxol for solid tumors in general;alkylating agents, such as BCNU, CCNU, methyl-CCNU and DTIC, for brain or kidney cancers; andantimetabolites, such as 5-FU and methotrexate, for colon cancer.

The compounds and compositions described herein can be used for any purpose. In addition to beinguseful in the method of detecting a disease and method of detecting abnormal BORIS expression, thecompounds and compositions described herein can be used for other purposes, such as for inducing animmune response in a mammal. Such immune responses have multiple uses. For example, antibodiesand other immunity-related molecules specific for BORIS can be isolated and used for research,control reagents useful in a method for detecting BORIS expression in a mammal, and as a method fordestroying cancer cells that are present or could arise in a mammal. In this regard, the inventionprovides, as a related aspect, a method of inducing an immune response in a mammal comprisingadministering to a mammal a BORIS polypeptide as defined herein. Suitable methods ofadministration are known in the art. All other aspects of the method of inducing an immune responseare as previously described herein.

Method of Treating a Disease Associated with Abnormal BORIS Expression

The invention provides a method of treating or preventing a disease associated with abnormal BORISexpression in a mammal comprising administering to a mammal that exhibits abnormal BORISexpression an inhibitor of a BORIS isoform. The inhibitor of the BORIS isoform can be anycompound and/or molecule or any other agent capable of inhibiting the normal function of the BORISisoform, or capable of inhibiting the expression of the BORIS isoform at the DNA or RNA level.Typically, the inhibitor of BORIS is a small molecule, an antibody, an antisense molecule, or aribozyme molecule. It is also conceivable to provide an inhibitor of a BORIS isoform that comprises amolecule (e.g., a zinc finger binding protein) that recognizes zinc finger binding domains specific for aBORIS isoform and can therefore initiate its inhibition. It will be understood that when such zincfinger binding proteins are used, these molecules will be employed to specifically recognize zincfinger binding domains of a BORIS isoform as compared to other proteins comprising similar zincfinger binding domains (e.g., CTCF), such that the normal function of these similar proteins is notinhibited. Methods of identifying these inhibitors are well known in the art and can be accomplished

without any undue experimentation using a variety of in vitro assays.

By "treating" is meant the amelioration of a pathologic state of any symptom thereof, in whole or inpart. By "preventing" is meant the protection, in whole or in part, against a particular pathologic state,including, but not limited to, the prevention of the onset of any one or more symptoms of a pathologicstate. One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that any degree of protection from, oramelioration of, a pathologic state is beneficial to a mammal.

According to a preferred aspect of the invention, the method of treating or preventing a diseaseassociated with abnormal BORIS expression in a mammal comprises administering a short interferingRNA (siRNA) molecule to a mammal afflicted with a disease associated with abnormal BORISexpression, wherein the siRNA molecule comprises a sequence of at least about 10 contiguousnucleotides, preferably at least about 15 nucleotides, or even at least about 20 nucleotides (typically21 nucleotides) that is complimentary to a portion or fragment of a BORIS isoform mRNA transcript(e.g., an mRNA transcript comprising a nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting ofSEQ ID NOs: 1-24). Methods of designing siRNA molecules are known in the art. Typically, thesiRNA will have a 3' dinucleotide overhang (preferably UU residues). Accordingly, the target sitegenerally will be chosen to be a site with an appropriate dinucleotide at the start position, such as an"AA" dinucleotide along with the appropriate number of 3' nucleotides. The siRNA, of course, willhave the complimentary sequence.

According to another preferred aspect of the invention, method of treating or preventing a diseaseassociated with abnormal BORIS expression in a mammal comprises administering an anti-BORISisoform antibody to a mammal afflicted with a disease associated with abnormal BORIS expression,wherein the anti-BORIS isoform antibody selectively binds to a BORIS isoform polypeptide (e.g., aBORIS isoform polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting ofSEQ ID NOs: 25-42). Suitable anti-BORIS isoform antibodies, including BORIS isoform-specificantibodies, can be generated given the information provided herein and routine techniques, aspreviously described.

Suitably, the inhibitor will be administered as part of a composition comprising a carrier. Suitablecarriers and routes of administration are as described with respect to the other aspects of the invention.

Kit and Array Useful for Detecting BORIS Expression

The invention provides a kit useful for detecting BORIS expression comprising (a) a probe setcomprising one or more probes that bind to (i) a BORIS isoform polypeptide comprising an aminoacid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 25-42, (ii) an auto-antibody to aBORIS isoform polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting ofSEQ ID NOs: 25-42, or (iii) a BORIS isoform mRNA transcript comprising a nucleic acid sequenceselected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 1-24, and (b) a reagent that facilitates thedetection of the probe.

The probe set can comprise one or more one or more antibodies, one or more polypeptides, or one ormore nucleic acids (i.e., polynucleotides) depending upon whether the target to be detected in the

sample is a BORIS isoform (in which can an antibody probe is useful), an auto-antibody to BORIS (inwhich case a polypeptide probe is useful), or a BORIS isoform mRNA transcript (in which case anucleic acid probe is useful). Probes that specifically bind the respective target molecules can bedesigned using routine techniques. The probe specifically binds a target BORIS isoform polypeptide,auto-antibody, or mRNA transcript with preference over other molecules in the sample, such that theprobe can be used to differentiate between the target molecule and the other molecules in the sample.

Polynucleotide and polypeptide probes can be generated by any suitable method known in the art (see,e.g., Sambrook et al., supra). For example, polynucleotide probes that specifically bind to BORISisoform mRNA transcripts can be created using the nucleic acid sequences of BORIS isoform mRNAtranscripts themselves (as disclosed herein) by routine techniques (e.g., PCR or synthesis). By way offurther illustration, a polynucleotide probe that binds to the mRNA transcript of a particular BORISisoform can be provided by a polynucleotide comprising a nucleic acid sequence that iscomplementary to the mRNA sequence or a fragment thereof, or sufficiently complementary to thesequence or fragment thereof that it will selectively bind to the sequence (e.g., bind to the targetmRNA transcript with greater affinity than to other mRNA transcripts in the sample). The exactnature of the polynucleotide probe is not critical to the invention; any probe that will selectively bindthe mRNA target can be used. Typically, the polynucleotide probes will comprise about 10 or morenucleic acids (e.g., about 20 or more, 50 or more, or 100 or more nucleic acids). Generally, the probewill contain fewer than 50 nucleotides. Thus, for example, the polynucleotide probe can comprise,consist essentially of, or consist of a fragment of any of SEQ ID NOs: 1-24 or complement thereof. Inorder to confer sufficient specificity, the nucleic acid probe will have a sequence identity to acompliment of the target sequence of about 90% or more, preferably about 95% or more (e.g., about98% or more or about 99% or more) as determined, for example, using the well-known Basic LocalAlignment Search Tool (BLAST) algorithm (available through the National Center for BiotechnologyInformation (NCBI), Bethesda, Md.). More preferably, the probe will comprise no more than one ortwo base-pair mismatches with the target sequence.

Similarly, polypeptide probes that bind to the BORIS isoform polypeptides described herein can becreated using the amino acid sequences of the BORIS isoforms, disclosed herein, and routinetechniques. For example, antibodies or antibody fragments to the BORIS isoforms can be generated ina mammal using routine techniques, which antibodies can be harvested to serve as probes for theBORIS isoforms. The exact nature of the polypeptide probe is not critical to the invention; any probethat will selectively bind to the BORIS isoform target can be used. Preferred polypeptide probesinclude antibodies and antibody fragments antibodies or antibody fragments (e.g., F(ab).sub.2'fragments, single chain antibody variable region fragment (ScFv) chains, and the like). Antibodiessuitable for detecting the biomarkers can be prepared by routine methods, and are commerciallyavailable. See, for instance, Harlow et al., Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring HarborPublishers, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y., 1988.

The reagent that facilitates detection of the probe can be any suitable reagent known in the art. Forexample, the reagent can be a molecule or compound that can be used to label the probe or the targetmolecules in the sample before or after contacting the sample with the probe. Specific examples ofsuch reagents include, without limitation, a radioisotope, a fluorophore (e.g., fluoresceinisothiocyanate (FITC), phycoerythrin (PE)), an enzyme (e.g., alkaline phosphatase, horseradish

peroxidase), and element particles (e.g., gold particles).

The kit can further comprise one or more BORIS expression profiles (e.g., the expression profile ofone or more BORIS isoforms) corresponding to one or more types of diseases or cancers. The BORISexpression profile for a given type of disease or cancer can be generated, for example, by testing forthe expression of the BORIS isoforms and/or the BORIS polypeptide in a mammal or population ofmammals known to be afflicted with the disease or cancer, or by testing for the expression of BORISisoforms and/or the BORIS polypeptide in a cell line representative of a specific cell line. Preferably,the BORIS expression profile is generated from a mammal or, more preferably, a population ofmammals known to be afflicted with a particular disease. The BORIS expression profile can serve as areference by which to compare the BORIS expression of a given mammal of an unknown diseasestate in order to determine whether the mammal, in fact, has a disease or propensity to develop adisease.

Preferably, the BORIS expression profiles are provided in the form of a database comprising theBORIS expression profile of one or more different types of cancer or other diseases associated withabnormal BORIS expression, wherein the database facilitates the comparison of a BORIS expressionprofile of a patient with the BORIS expression profile of one or more different types of cancer. Suchdatabases that facilitate the comparison of the BORIS expression profile of a patient with the BORISexpression profile of one or more different types of cancer or other diseases include, for example,searchable databases, especially searchable electronic databases.

The probes of the probe set can be immobilized on a suitable substrate, so as to provide an array. Inthis respect, the invention also provides an array useful for the detection of BORIS expression in amammal, the array comprising one or more probes immobilized on a substrate, wherein the probesbind to (i) a BORIS isoform comprising an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting ofSEQ ID NOs: 25-42, (ii) an auto-antibody to a BORIS isoform comprising an amino acid sequenceselected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 25-42, or (iii) a BORIS isoform mRNA transcriptcomprising a nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 1-24.

The substrate can be any rigid or semi-rigid support to which polynucleotides or polypeptides can becovalently or non-covalently attached. Suitable substrates include membranes, filters, chips, slides,wafers, fibers, beads, gels, capillaries, plates, polymers, microparticles, and the like. Materials that aresuitable for substrates include, for example, nylon, glass, ceramic, plastic, silica, aluminosilicates,borosilicates, metal oxides such as alumina and nickel oxide, various clays, nitrocellulose, and thelike.

The polynucleotide or polypeptide probes can be attached to the substrate in a pre-determined 1- or2-dimensional arrangement, such that the pattern of hybridization or binding to a probe is easilycorrelated with the expression of a particular BORIS isoform. Because the probes are located atspecified locations on the substrate, the hybridization or binding patterns and intensities create aunique expression profile, which can be interpreted in terms of the expression of particular BORISisoforms.

The array can comprise other elements common to polynucleotide and polypeptide arrays. For

instance, the array also can include one or more elements that serve as a control, standard, orreference molecule, such as a housekeeping gene or portion thereof (e.g., PBGD, GAPDH), to assistin the normalization of expression levels or the determination of nucleic acid quality and bindingcharacteristics, reagent quality and effectiveness, hybridization success, analysis thresholds andsuccess, etc. These other common aspects of the arrays or the addressable elements, as well asmethods for constructing and using arrays, including generating, labeling, and attaching suitableprobes to the substrate, consistent with the invention are well-known in the art. Other aspects of thearray are as previously described herein with respect to the methods of the invention.

The kit or array can comprise a single probe for a single BORIS isoform polypeptide, mRNAtranscript, or autoantibody. However, the kit or array advantageously comprises more than one probe,such as two or more, three or more, four or more, five or more, 10 or more, 15 or more, or even 20 ormore different probes that each bind to a different BORIS isoform polypeptide, mRNA transcript, orautoantibody (or even a different probe for each of the BORIS isoform polypeptides, mRNAtranscripts, or autoantibodies identified herein).

The kit or array can further comprise probes for polypeptides, mRNA transcripts, or autoantibodiesother than BORIS isoform polypeptides, mRNA transcripts or autoantibodies. For example, it isdesirable for the kit or array to comprise a probe for a BORIS polypeptide comprising the amino acidsequence of SEQ ID NO: 43, the mRNA transcript encoding such a BORIS polypeptide (e.g., anmRNA transcript comprising the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 44), or an autoantibody tosuch a BORIS polypeptide. Other probes also can be included, such as probes that bind to other tumorantigens or other genetic cancer markers. Nevertheless, it may be convenient in some instances tolimit the total number of different probes for ease of use. Thus, for instance, the kit or array cancomprise less than about 1000 different probes, or less than about 500 different probes, such as lessthan about 100 different probes, or even less than about 50 different probes (e.g., less than about 30different probes).

The following examples further illustrate the invention but, of course, should not be construed as inany way limiting its scope.

EXAMPLE 1

This example illustrates the identification of multiple BORIS isoforms in the human testes.

RT-PCR was used to identify and sequence the mRNA transcripts of 24 different mRNA splicevariants of the BORIS gene expressed in the human testes. The 24 mRNA splice variants are depictedin Figures A, B, C, and D, which encode 18 different BORIS isoform polypeptides. The nucleotidesequences of the mRNA splice variants, as well as the amino acid sequences encoded by the mRNAsplice variants, are set forth in Table 1.

EXAMPLE 2

This example illustrates the generation of isoform-specific anti-BORIS antibodies, and the use of suchantibodies to identify BORIS isoforms in the human testes.

Isoform-specific anti-BORIS antibodies were generated to three different BORIS isoforms (SEQ IDNOs: 25, 27, and 32) by immunizing rabbits with synthetic peptides specific to each isoform. Inparticular, peptides CKYASVEVKPFLDLKLHGILVEAAVQVTPSVTNSRI (SEQ ID NO: 45) andCYKQAFYYSYKIYIGNNMHSLL (SEQ ID NO: 46) were used to develop antibodies to the isoformcomprising SEQ ID NO: 25; peptides CLLGSSDSHASVSGAGITDARHHA (SEQ ID NO: 47) andCITDARHHAWLIVLLELVEMGFYHVSHS (SEQ ID NO: 48) were used to generate antibodies tothe isoform comprising SEQ ID NO: 27; and peptides CPPGLHHPKAGLGPEDPLPGQLRHTAG(SEQ ID NO: 49) and GQLRHTTAGTGLSSLLQGPLC (SEQ ID NO: 50) were used to generateantibodies to the isoform comprising SEQ ID NO: 32. The rabbits were immunized with the peptidesconjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH). Thereafter, peptide-specific antibodies were affinitypurified on a column using the same peptides. The isoform-specific anti-BORIS antibodies weresuccessfully used to detect the three different BORIS isoforms in the tissue of the human testes.

EXAMPLE 3

This example demonstrates the expression pattern of BORIS isoforms in the NCI-60 cell lines.

RT-PCR was used to test for the expression of six different BORIS isoforms in each of the NCI-60cell lines. The NCI-60 cell line panel is considered to be representative of the vast majority of humancancer types. The results are presented in Table 1, wherein a "+" indicates positive expression, and ablank indicates no expression.

As illustrated by the results in Table 2, each of the NCI-60 cell lines showed expression of at least oneisoform of BORIS. Moreover, different cancers exhibited different BORIS isoform expressionpatterns. These results show that BORIS isoform expression patterns can be used to differentiatebetween different types of cancers.
