Abstract

Background CD47 is a broadly expressed cell surface glycoprotein associated with immune evasion. Interaction with the inhibitory receptor signal regulatory protein alpha (SIRPα), primarily expressed on myeloid cells, normally serves to restrict effector function (eg, phagocytosis and immune cell homeostasis). CD47/SIRPα antagonists, commonly referred to as ‘macrophage checkpoint’ inhibitors, are being developed as cancer interventions. SRF231 is an investigational fully human IgG4 anti-CD47 antibody that is currently under evaluation in a phase 1 clinical trial. The development and preclinical characterization of SRF231 are reported here.Methods SRF231 was characterized in assays designed to probe CD47/SIRPα blocking potential and effects on red blood cell (RBC) phagocytosis and agglutination. Additionally, SRF231-mediated phagocytosis and cell death were assessed in macrophage:tumor cell in vitro coculture systems. Further mechanistic studies were conducted within these coculture systems to ascertain the dependency of SRF231-mediated antitumor activity on Fc receptor engagement vs CD47/SIRPα blockade. In vivo, SRF231 was evaluated in a variety of hematologic xenograft models, and the mechanism of antitumor activity was assessed using cytokine and macrophage infiltration analyses following SRF231 treatment.Results SRF231 binds CD47 and disrupts the CD47/SIRPα interaction without causing hemagglutination or RBC phagocytosis. SRF231 exerts antitumor activity in vitro through both phagocytosis and cell death in a manner dependent on the activating Fc-gamma receptor (FcγR), CD32a. Through its Fc domain, SRF231 engagement with macrophage-derived CD32a serves dual purposes by eliciting FcγR-mediated phagocytosis of cancer cells and acting as a scaffold to drive CD47-mediated death signaling into tumor cells. Robust antitumor activity occurs across multiple hematologic xenograft models either as a single agent or in combination with rituximab. In tumor-bearing mice, SRF231 increases tumor macrophage infiltration and induction of the macrophage cytokines, mouse chemoattractant protein 1 and macrophage inflammatory protein 1 alpha. Macrophage depletion results in diminished SRF231 antitumor activity, underscoring a mechanistic role for macrophage engagement by SRF231.Conclusion SRF231 elicits antitumor activity via apoptosis and phagocytosis involving macrophage engagement in a manner dependent on the FcγR, CD32a.

Abstract

Graded removal of sialic acid residues from a purified preparation of rat follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH; NIADDK-FSH-I-5) by neuraminidase digestion resulted in the production of FSH isohormones with isoelectric points identical to those found within pituitary tissue. In addition, each neuraminidase-produced FSH form exhibited a radioreceptor assay:radioimmunoassay ratio similar to that of its endogenously produced counterpart. Thus, the molecular basis for FSH microheterogeneity appears to be due to the varying degree of sialylation into a common FSH protein core. We have demonstrated that the pituitary gland produces different amounts of these FSH isohormones depending upon the surrounding endocrine environment. The results of the present studies suggest the existence of biochemical mechanisms within the pituitary that influence sialic acid incorporation into FSH. These mechanisms appear to be sensitive to the surrounding hormonal milieu and serve to alter the intensity of the FSH stimulus delivered to the gonad.

Abstract

Pituitary glands, hypothalami, and trunk blood were obtained from male rats at 5, 15, 18, 21, and 29 days of age, on the day of balanopreputial separation (Days 42-45), and during adulthood. The forms of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) present within each pituitary were separated by polyacrylamide gel isoelectric focusing. Serum and pituitary gonadotropins, hypothalamic luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH), and the profile of FSH forms across the isoelectric focusing gel were determined by radioimmunoassay. No change in the relative proportions of FSH forms were observed between 5 and 21 days of age. Likewise, only slight changes in serum and pituitary gonadotropin levels and hypothalamic LHRH content were observed at these times. After 21 days of age, dramatic increases in serum and pituitary gonadotropin levels were observed. Similarly, a shift in FSH forms within the pituitary to more basic and bioactive forms was observed at this time. These results demonstrate that, during the transition through puberty in the male rat, not only the absolute amount, but also the isoelectric focusing profile, of FSH change.

Abstract

Anterior pituitary glands (AP) were obtained from female rats at 5, 15, 18, 21 and 29 days of age, at the time of vaginal opening (VO) and during adulthood on proestrus. The multiple species of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) present within the AP were separated by the technique of polyacrylamide gel isoelectric focusing (PAG-IEF) and measured with the NIAMDD rat FSH radioimmunoassay kit. AP's obtained from immature female rats prior to VO contained elevated levels of total FSH as well as all of the species of AP FSH observed in adult rats (and hamsters). However, the majority of the FSH immunoactivity migrated to the most acidic portion of the gel (isoelectric point [pI] value=4.2-3.8). At the time of VO and during adulthood, a decrease in total AP FSH was observed. In addition, a shift in the relative proportions of certain FSH species occurred. The AP's of adult animals contained relatively greater amounts of more basic (pI values 6.0-5.0) forms of FSH compared with immature animals. When each of the AP FSH species isolated from adult animals was tested in a radioligand receptor assay, the most acidic (pI=4.2-3.8) failed to interact with the receptor preparation, while those with pI values from 6 to 4.7 were able to compete with [125I]-labeled FSH for receptor binding in a parallel fashion. Thus, the observed shift in the PAG-IEF FSH profiles to more basic (and biologically active) forms may represent a change in the composition of AP FSH that serves an important role in the maturation process leading to ovulatory cyclicity.

Abstract

Anterior pituitary (AP) glands were removed from groups of female golden hamsters at 0900 h on estrus (E), diestrus I (DI), and diestrus II (DII) and at 1200 h and 1500 h on proestrus (P12 and P15), as well as at 0900 h from ovariectomized hamsters (OVX). Hemipituitaries were incubated in culture medium with or without 10(-8) M luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) for 3 h at 37 degrees C to determine the magnitude of basal and LHRH-stimulated follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) release. All samples were assessed for FSH activity by radioimmunoassay and radioreceptor assay. In a second set of experiments, AP were removed from E, DII, and OVX hamsters and bisected. One hemipituitary was homogenized in 10 mM Tris-HCl and the other half was incubated for 3 h. Follicle-stimulating hormone forms present within pituitary extracts or secreted into medium were separated by an isoelectric focusing technique, chromatofocusing. Basal FSH release was lowest in AP collected on DII and P12, higher in AP collected on E and DI, and highest in AP from OVX. Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone-stimulated release of FSH was highest in AP obtained on DII and P12, lower in AP collected on E and DI, and lowest in AP from OVX. Radio-receptor-to-radioimmunoassay ratio of secreted FSH was greatest when basal FSH secretion was low and LHRH sensitivity was high (DII and P12) and least when basal FSH secretion was high and LHRH sensitivity low (E and after OVX).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract

Relative amounts of inhibin were measured in charcoal treated ovarian extracts (CTOE) collected on each day of the hamster estrous cycle. This material was quantitated by its ability to depress serum FSH, without affecting LH levels in ovariectomized hamsters. Injection of proestrous CTOE caused a significant reduction in the elevated levels of serum FSH within 2 h. No decrement in serum FSH concentrations was observed in hamsters injected with CTOE collected on other days of the cycle. Further or sustained decreases in serum FSH concentrations were observed when hamsters were administered proestrous CTOE in larger or multiple injections, respectively. None of these injected extracts elicited any change in serum LH levels. In addition, repeated injections of proestrous CTOE to cyclic hamsters on proestrus and estrus caused a significant reduction in the serum concentration of FSH on estrus compared with control animals. This decrease in estrous FSH was accompanied by a reduction in the number of tubal ova shed 4 days later on the next estrus.

Abstract

Plasma LH/FSH concentrations were monitored in mature androgen- (ASR) or estrogen-sterilized rats (ESR) and were compared to normal proestrous rats in which spontaneous gonadotropin surges had been blocked with Nembutal (control). LH and/or FSH release was induced by dectrochemical stimulation (ECS) of either the dorsal anterior hypothalamic area (DAHA) or the medial preoptic area (MPOA). ECS of control rats, ASR and ESR provoked significant increases in plasma FSH by 120 min and peak levels by 180 mm poststimulation. No differences were noted when ESR or ASR plasma levels were compared to control values or to each other (ESR vs. ASR). DAHA-ECS failed to provoke a significant LH increase from baseline in control rats and only small LH rises in ASR and ESR. MPOA-ECS of control, ASR and ESR resulted in the release of both LH/FSH. In all groups FSH peaked at 240 mm but at 120 and 180 mm post-stimulation plasma FSH levels were greater in ASR and ESR than controls. Further, FSH in ESR was significantly higher than ASR at 120 and 240 mm poststimulation. Plasma LH was elevated in all groups after MPOA-ECS but in ESR significantly greater LH levels were obtained at 60 and 180 mm as compared to controls or ASR. Preoptic stimulation of progesterone-treated ASR (P-ASR) did not induce greater releases of pituitary FSH than were obtained in control, ASR, ESR or progesterone-treated ESR. In contrast, stimulation of P-ASR resulted in greater plasma LH levels than untreated ASR but not control rats. P-ESR responded to MPOA-ECS by a rapid plasma LH rise by 60 mm which was greater than ASR, P-ASR, ESR or control rats. Thereafter, plasma levels in P-ESR decreased rapidly to baseline. None of the DAHA-stimulated groups ovulated. All MPOA-ECS control rats ovulated (8-13 eggs) whereas neither the ASR nor ESR Fallopian tubes contained eggs the next morning. All P-ASR but none of the P-ESR ovulated after MPOA-ECS. Seemingly, while exposure of neonatal female rats to estrogen renders them more sensitive than ASR to preoptic stimulation, the ovaries of such animals are much less responsive to the gonadotropin released into plasma than are those of ASR or normal rats.

Abstract

Since the pioneering studies of Everett, Sawyer and Markee (1) it has been generally accepted that the central nervous system (CNS) regulates the secretion of the pituitary gonadotropins, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). However, great gaps still exist in our understanding of the neural mechanisms that regulate the secretion of these hormones. The purpose of this review is to provide the reader with a concise overview of this topic. Gaps, inconsistencies and future directions of this area of research are also presented.

Abstract

The multiple species of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) present within pituitary tissue were separated by the technique of Polyacrylamide gel isoelectric focusing. The ability of each FSH species to stimulate the secretion of plasminogen activator from cultured granulosa cells was tested (FSH in vitro bioassay). A wide range of biologic/radioimmunologic FSH activity was observed when FSH species were compared. As the isoelectric point of the FSH molecule declined, so did the biologic activity. A second series of studies was performed to determine which forms of FSH were secreted by pituitary tissue in vitro. All of the forms of FSH present in pituitary tissue were secreted into culture medium. However, the relative proportions of FSH forms in the pituitary and medium were not always similar. Exposure of pituitary tissue to luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone elicited an increase in the relative proportion of the more biologically active forms of FSH that were secreted. These studies suggest that the hormonal milieu surrounding the pituitary affects not only the quantity but also the potency of the FSH signal emitted. Thus, the basis for observed differences between biologic and immunologic FSH activities observed during some endocrine states may be the result of preferential secretion of certain FSH species.

Abstract

The presence of material like luteinizing hormone (LH) in cervical mucus has not been previously reported. In this study, we show that in human cervical mucus there is LH-like material detectable by radioimmunoassay (RIA) and by bioassay. The content of LH in the cervical mucus of five donors was measured by RIA in samples of mucus obtained daily throughout the menstrual cycle. The concentration of LH in mucus obtained during ovulation was lower than in mucus obtained during the early follicular phase or mucus obtained during the luteal phase. This material exhibits LH-like biologic activity because increasing volumes of cervical mucus added to isolated mice Leydig cells stimulates testosterone secretion by these cells, in a parallel dose-related fashion, to increasing quantities of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). No immunologic cross-reactivity of the cervical mucus was observed with an antiserum specific for the β -subunit of hCG. Taken together, the results of the present study suggest the presence of an LH-like substance within the cervical mucus that exhibits both the immunologic and biologic properties of LH.
