FIELD AND BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The present invention relates to the field of medicine, and in some embodiments to devices and compositions comprising a leptin antagonist formulated for localized release of a leptin antagonist at the site of treatment as well as methods of using such compositions for treating disorders, including cardiovascular disorders.

[0003] Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a class of diseases that involve the heart and/or the blood vessels. Several studies have related inflammatory markers to cardiovascular disease (CVD) and several assays for inflammatory markers are commercially available. For example, C-reactive protein (CRP), a common inflammatory marker, has been found to be present in increased levels in patients who are at risk for cardiovascular disease [Karakas and Koenig, 2009 Herz 34 (8): 607-13] while osteoprotegerin, which is involved with regulation of NF-.kappa.B, has been found to be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and mortality [Venuraju et al., 2010 J. Am. Coll. Cardiol. 55 (19): 2049-61].

[0004] As a result of these findings, the number of inflammatory marker tests ordered by clinicians for CVD risk prediction has grown rapidly. However, to date there is no consensus among professionals as to how these markers of inflammation should be unsed as a basis for clinical treatment.

[0005] Although it has been shown that some cardiovascular disorders can benefit from suppression of inflammation-related processes and cellular proliferation as part of a remodeling response (e.g. use of locally released cytotoxic drugs such as paclitaxel or sirolimus in preventing restenosis or use of doxycycline in treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)), to date, there is no evidence to suggest that cardiovascular disease can benefit from anti-inflammatory treatment.

[0006] Leptin is a naturally occurring pleiotropic molecule that regulates food intake as well as metabolic and endocrine functions. Leptin also plays a regulatory role in immunity, inflammation, and hematopoiesis.

[0007] The human leptin precursor is a linear polypeptide 167 amino acid residues long represented by NCBI Reference Sequence NP_000221.1 (SEQ ID NO 1) encoded by the mRNA having the nucleotide sequence NCBI Reference Sequence NM_000230. Residues 1-21 of the sequence constitute the signal peptide while residues 22-167 constitute the mature hormone.

[0008] Leptin antagonists are also known, see for example, U.S. Pat. No. 7,307,142 and U.S. Pat. No. 8,969,292.

DESCRIPTION OF SOME EMBODIMENTS

[0061] The invention, in some embodiments, relates to the field of medicine, and more particularly to methods and devices that use leptin antagonists. In some embodiments, the invention relates to compositions comprising a leptin antagonist formulated for localized release of a leptin antagonist at the site of treatment as well as methods of using such compositions for treating disorders, including cardiovascular disorders. In some embodiments, the compositions comprising a leptin antagonist can be used for localized suppression of leptin-related conditions, including tissue remodeling processes.

[0062] Although it has been proposed that leptin might play a role in vascular inflammation, oxidative stress, and vascular smooth muscle hypertrophy that may contribute to coronary heart disease among other pathologies, to date no one has conclusively shown that localized down-regulation of leptin activity can be used to treat cardiovascular disorders characterized by remodeling of cardiovascular tissue such as cardiac, arterial or valve tissue.

[0063] The present inventor set out to elucidate the role of leptin in disorders, such as cardiovascular disorders by employing a leptin antagonist in a localized manner. Experiments conducted by the present inventor (see Examples section hereinbelow) demonstrate that localized release of leptin in cardiovascular tissue can lead to cardiovascular tissue remodeling while localized down-regulation of leptin activity can lead to suppression and even reversal of cardiovascular tissue (arterial wall tissue, heart muscle tissue and valve leaflet tissue) remodeling induced by angiotensin II. Thus, the present inventor has shown for the first time that a locally administered leptin antagonist can be used to treat cardiovascular disorders characterized by tissue remodeling.

[0064] While reducing the present invention to practice, the present inventor has shown that down-regulation of leptin activity at specific sites in the cardiovascular system can lead to suppression and reversal of pathological tissue remodeling and thereby establishing localized leptin down-regulation as a suitable approach for treating various cardiovascular disorders, such as cardiovascular disorders characterized by pathological tissue remodeling.

[0065] The present inventor has discovered an unexpected pharmaceutical efficacy of locally administered leptin antagonists, especially leptin antagonists administered by sustained release.

[0066] Particularly, the present inventor has found that in vivo implantation of a composition configured for sustained-release of leptin antagonist can have a desirable pharmaceutical effect on tissue in proximity of the implanted composition with limited or no substantial side-effects, for example, no discernible hormonal or immunological effects.

[0067] The present inventor has also found that such in vivo administration (e.g., by implantation) inside a fluid-filled cavity of the body (for example of the cardiovascular system such as blood vessels or cardiac chambers) can have a desirable pharmaceutical effect on tissue in proximity of the implanted composition with limited or no substantial side-effects: leptin antagonist from the composition has not been found to be washed away by the fluid and, instead, has been found to interact with the tissue providing a desirable pharmaceutical effect. Presumably, leptin antagonist released from the composition passes into and through the cavity walls (e.g., tunica intima) in pharmaceutically-effective amounts. This is particularly surprising in cavities of the cardiovascular system (e.g., veins, arteries and cardiac chambers) where the large volumes of blood passing through such cavities are expected to wash away released leptin antagonist and where it is expected that the cardiovascular intima is relatively non-permeable to passage of compounds, especially proteins.

[0068] Without wishing to be held to any one theory, it is currently believed that the success of some embodiments of the teachings herein is at least partially attributable to the serendipitous increased permeability of cardiovascular intima during inflammation. It may be that the intimal of healthy cardiovascular intima is relatively impermeable to leptin antagonist released from the composition, so that there is little or no passage of leptin antagonist into and through the endothelium and underlying tissue, thereby avoiding substantial negative side-effects. In contrast, it seems that the permeability of the cardiovascular intima during inflammation increases sufficiently to allow passage of a therapeutically-effective amount of leptin antagonist released from the composition into the tissue. It is currently believed that this effect is self-regulating. A higher degree of inflammation leads to a higher degree of intima permeability allowing passage of more leptin antagonist leading to a relatively high dose of leptin antagonist in the more pathological tissue. As inflammation decreases (inter alia, due to the pharmaceutical effect of the administered leptin antagonist), intima permeability decreases thereby decreasing the dose of leptin antagonist actually in the tissue that is still sufficient to exercise a desired pharmaceutical effect but with a reduced incidence of substantial negative side effects.

[0069] In some embodiments, the present invention includes local administration of leptin antagonist to treat and attenuate expansion of ascending aortic aneurysm, and corresponding cardiac sequelae (driven by the aorto-ventricular coupling), including left ventricular hypertrophy, as well as hyperplasia of left heart valve leaflets.

[0070] In some embodiments, the present invention includes treatment of peripheral vascular disorders such as the progression of arterial or venous aneurysms while minimizing systemic exposure to the administered leptin antagonist.

[0071] The principles and operation of the present invention may be better understood with reference to the drawings and accompanying descriptions.

[0072] Before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details set forth in the following description or exemplified by the Examples. The invention is capable of other embodiments or of being practiced or carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein is for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting.

[0073] Thus, according to one aspect of the present invention there is provided a composition comprising a leptin antagonist and a carrier configured for localized administration, for treating disorders such as cardiovascular disorders. As used herein, "cardiovascular disorders" refer to disorders of the cardiovascular system, i.e. the heart and central, cranial and peripheral vasculature. Examples of such disorders include, but are not limited to valve stenosis, aneurysms, vessel response to vascular injury, cardiomyopathy and the like.

[0074] The carrier can be a solid, gel or liquid carrier, while the leptin antagonist can be any agent capable of down-regulating leptin activity in the target tissue. Examples of a leptin antagonist include agents capable of binding and/or degrading leptin or leptin receptors as well as agents capable of down-regulating leptin expression (at the DNA or RNA levels, i.e., agents capable of blocking transcription or translation). Specific preferred leptin antagonists are listed hereinbelow.

[0075] One example of a leptin antagonist that is an agent capable of down-regulating leptin is an antibody or antibody fragment capable of specifically binding leptin or a leptin receptor. Preferably, the antibody specifically binds at least one epitope of a leptin, e.g., an epitope defined amino acids 26-59 of mammalian leptin (e.g. rat leptin--SEQ ID NO 48). As used herein, the term "epitope" refers to any antigenic determinant on an antigen to which the paratope of an antibody binds.

[0076] As used herein, the term "antibody" refers to a substantially intact antibody molecule.

[0077] As used herein, the phrase "antibody fragment" refers to a functional fragment of an antibody that is capable of binding to an antigen.

[0078] Suitable antibody fragments for practicing the present invention include, inter alia, a complementarity-determining region (CDR) of an immunoglobulin light chain (referred to herein as "light chain"), a CDR of an immunoglobulin heavy chain (referred to herein as "heavy chain"), a variable region of a light chain, a variable region of a heavy chain, a light chain, a heavy chain, an Fd fragment, and antibody fragments comprising essentially whole variable regions of both light and heavy chains such as an Fv, a single-chain Fv, an Fab, an Fab', and an F(ab')2.

[0079] Functional antibody fragments comprising whole or essentially whole variable regions of both light and heavy chains are defined as follows:

[0080] (i) Fv, defined as a genetically engineered fragment consisting of the variable region of the light chain and the variable region of the heavy chain expressed as two chains;

[0081] (ii) single-chain Fv ("scFv"), a genetically engineered single-chain molecule including the variable region of the light chain and the variable region of the heavy chain, linked by a suitable polypeptide linker.

[0082] (iii) Fab, a fragment of an antibody molecule containing a monovalent antigen-binding portion of an antibody molecule, obtained by treating whole antibody with the enzyme papain to yield the intact light chain and the Fd fragment of the heavy chain, which

[0083] (iv) Fab', a fragment of an antibody molecule containing a monovalent antigen-binding portion of an antibody molecule, obtained by treating whole antibody with the enzyme pepsin, followed by reduction (two Fab' fragments are obtained per antibody molecule); and

[0084] (v) F(ab')2, a fragment of an antibody molecule containing a monovalent antigen-binding portion of an antibody molecule, obtained by treating whole antibody with the enzyme pepsin (i.e., a dimer of Fab' fragments held together by two disulfide bonds).

[0085] Methods of generating monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies are well known in the art. Antibodies may be generated via any one of several known methods, which may employ induction of in vivo production of antibody molecules, screening of immunoglobulin libraries (Orlandi, R. et al. (1989). Cloning immunoglobulin variable domains for expression by the polymerase chain reaction. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 86, 3833-3837; and Winter, G. and Milstein, C. (1991). Man-made antibodies. Nature 349, 293-299), or generation of monoclonal antibody molecules by continuous cell lines in culture. These include, but are not limited to, the hybridoma technique, the human B-cell hybridoma technique, and the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-hybridoma technique (Kohler, G. and Milstein, C. (1975). Continuous cultures of fused cells secreting antibody of predefined specificity. Nature 256, 495-497; Kozbor, D. et al. (1985). Specific immunoglobulin production and enhanced tumorigencity following ascites growth of human hybridomas. J Immunol Methods 81, 31-42; Cote R J. et al. (1983). Generation of human monoclonal antibodies reactive with cellular antigens. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 80, 2026-2030; and Cole, S. P. et al. (1984). Human monoclonal antibodies. Mol Cell Biol 62, 109-120).

[0086] In cases where target antigens are too small to elicit an adequate immunogenic response, such antigens (referred to as "haptens") can be coupled to antigenically neutral carriers such as keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) or serum albumin (e.g., bovine serum albumin (BSA)) carriers (see, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,189,178 and 5,239,078). Coupling a hapten to a carrier can be effected using methods well known in the art. For example, direct coupling to amino groups can be effected and optionally followed by reduction of the imino linkage formed. Alternatively, the carrier can be coupled using condensing agents such as dicyclohexyl carbodiimide or other carbodiimide dehydrating agents. Linker compounds can also be used to effect the coupling; both homobifunctional and heterobifunctional linkers are available from Pierce Chemical Company, Rockford, Ill., USA. The resulting immunogenic complex can then be injected into suitable mammalian subjects such as mice, rabbits, and others. Suitable protocols involve repeated injection of the immunogen in the presence of adjuvants according to a schedule designed to boost production of antibodies in the serum. The titers of the immune serum can readily be measured using immunoassay procedures which are well known in the art.

[0087] The antisera obtained can be used directly or monoclonal antibodies may be obtained, as described hereinabove.

[0088] Antibody fragments may be obtained using methods well known in the art. (See, for example, Harlow, E. and Lane, D. (1988). Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, New York.) For example, antibody fragments according to the present invention can be prepared by proteolytic hydrolysis of the antibody or by expression in E. coli or mammalian cells (e.g., Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell culture or other protein expression systems) of DNA encoding the fragment.

[0089] Alternatively, antibody fragments can be obtained by pepsin or papain digestion of whole antibodies by conventional methods. As described hereinabove, an (Fab').sub.2 antibody fragments can be produced by enzymatic cleavage of antibodies with pepsin to provide a 5S fragment. This fragment can be further cleaved using a thiol reducing agent, and optionally a blocking group for the sulfhydryl groups resulting from cleavage of disulfide linkages, to produce 3.5S Fab' monovalent fragments. Alternatively, enzymatic cleavage using pepsin produces two monovalent Fb' fragments and an Fc fragment directly. Ample guidance for practicing such methods is provided in the literature of the art (for example, refer to: U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,036,945 and 4,331,647; and Porter, R. R. (1959). The hydrolysis of rabbit .gamma.-globulin and antibodies with crystalline papain. Biochem J 73, 119-126). Other methods of cleaving antibodies, such as separation of heavy chains to form monovalent light-heavy chain fragments, further cleavage of fragments, or other enzymatic, chemical, or genetic techniques may also be used, so long as the fragments retain the ability to bind to the antigen that is recognized by the intact antibody.

[0090] As described hereinabove, an Fv is composed of paired heavy chain variable and light chain variable domains. This association may be noncovalent (see, for example, Inbar, D. et al. (1972). Localization of antibody-combining sites within the variable portions of heavy and light chains. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 69, 2659-2662). Alternatively, as described hereinabove, the variable domains may be linked to generate a single-chain Fv by an intermolecular disulfide bond, or alternately such chains may be cross-linked by chemicals such as glutaraldehyde.

[0091] Preferably, the Fv is a single-chain Fv. Single-chain Fvs are prepared by constructing a structural gene comprising DNA sequences encoding the heavy chain variable and light chain variable domains connected by an oligonucleotide encoding a peptide linker. The structural gene is inserted into an expression vector, which is subsequently introduced into a host cell such as E. coli. The recombinant host cells synthesize a single polypeptide chain with a linker peptide bridging the two variable domains. Ample guidance for producing single-chain Fvs is provided in the literature of the art (see, e.g.: Whitlow, M. and Filpula, D. (1991). Single-chain Fv proteins and their fusion proteins. METHODS: A Companion to Methods in Enzymology 2(2), 97-105; Bird, R. E. et al. (1988). Single-chain antigen-binding proteins. Science 242, 423-426; Pack, P. et al. (1993). Improved bivalent miniantibodies, with identical avidity as whole antibodies, produced by high cell density fermentation of Escherichia coli, Biotechnology (N.Y.) 11(11), 1271-1277; and U.S. Pat. No. 4,946,778).

[0092] Isolated complementarity-determining region peptides can be obtained by constructing genes encoding the CDR of an antibody of interest. Such genes may be prepared, for example, by RT-PCR of the mRNA of an antibody-producing cell. Ample guidance for practicing such methods is provided in the literature of the art (e.g., Larrick, J. W. and Fry, K. E. (1991). PCR Amplification of Antibody Genes. METHODS: A Companion to Methods in Enzymology 2(2), 106-110).

[0093] It will be appreciated that for human therapy, humanized antibodies are preferred. Humanized forms of non-human (e.g., murine) antibodies are genetically engineered chimeric antibodies or antibody fragments having (preferably minimal) portions derived from non-human antibodies. Humanized antibodies include antibodies in which the CDRs of a human antibody (recipient antibody) are replaced by residues from a CDR of a non-human species (donor antibody), such as mouse, rat, or rabbit, having the desired functionality. In some instances, the Fv framework residues of the human antibody are replaced by corresponding non-human residues. Humanized antibodies may also comprise residues found neither in the recipient antibody nor in the imported CDR or framework sequences. In general, the humanized antibody will comprise substantially all of at least one, and typically two, variable domains, in which all or substantially all of the CDRs correspond to those of a non-human antibody and all or substantially all of the framework regions correspond to those of a relevant human consensus sequence. Humanized antibodies optimally also include at least a portion of an antibody constant region, such as an Fc region, typically derived from a human antibody (see, for example: Jones, P. T. et al. (1986). Replacing the complementarity-determining regions in a human antibody with those from a mouse. Nature 321, 522-525; Riechmann, L. et al. (1988). Reshaping human antibodies for therapy. Nature 332, 323-327; Presta, L. G. (1992b). Curr Opin Struct Biol 2, 593-596; and Presta, L. G. (1992a). Antibody engineering. Curr Opin Biotechnol 3(4), 394-398).

[0094] Methods for humanizing non-human antibodies are well known in the art. Generally, a humanized antibody has one or more amino acid residues introduced into it from a source which is non-human. These non-human amino acid residues are often referred to as imported residues, which are typically taken from an imported variable domain. Humanization can be performed essentially as described (see, for example: Jones et al. (1986); Riechmann et al. (1988); Verhoeyen, M. et al. (1988). Reshaping human antibodies: grafting an antilysozyme activity. Science 239, 1534-1536; and U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567), by substituting human CDRs with corresponding rodent CDRs. Accordingly, humanized antibodies are chimeric antibodies, wherein substantially less than an intact human variable domain has been substituted by the corresponding sequence from a non-human species. In practice, humanized antibodies may be typically human antibodies in which some CDR residues and possibly some framework residues are substituted by residues from analogous sites in rodent antibodies.

[0095] Human antibodies can also be produced using various additional techniques known in the art, including phage-display libraries (Hoogenboom, H. R. and Winter, G. (1991). By-passing immunization. Human antibodies from synthetic repertoires of germline VH gene segments rearranged in vitro. J Mol Biol 227, 381-388; Marks, J. D. et al. (1991). By-passing immunization. Human antibodies from V-gene libraries displayed on phage. J Mol Biol 222, 581-597; Cole et al. (1985), Monoclonal Antibodies and Cancer Therapy, Alan R. Liss, Inc., pp. 77-96; and Boerner, P. et al. (1991). Production of antigen-specific human monoclonal antibodies from in vitro-primed human splenocytes. J Immunol 147, 86-95). Humanized antibodies can also be created by introducing sequences encoding human immunoglobulin loci into transgenic animals, e.g., into mice in which the endogenous immunoglobulin genes have been partially or completely inactivated. Upon antigenic challenge, human antibody production is observed in such animals which closely resembles that seen in humans in all respects, including gene rearrangement, chain assembly, and antibody repertoire. Ample guidance for practicing such an approach is provided in the literature of the art (for example, refer to U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,545,807; 5,545,806; 5,569,825; 5,625,126; 5,633,425; and 5,661,016; Marks, J.D. et al. (1992). By-passing immunization: building high affinity human antibodies by chain shuffling. Biotechnology (N.Y.) 10(7), 779-783; Lonberg et al., 1994. Nature 368:856-859; Morrison, S. L. (1994). News and View: Success in Specification. Nature 368, 812-813; Fishwild, D. M. et al. (1996). High-avidity human IgG kappa monoclonal antibodies from a novel strain of minilocus transgenic mice. Nat Biotechnol 14, 845-851; Neuberger, M. (1996). Generating high-avidity human Mabs in mice. Nat Biotechnol 14, 826; and Lonberg, N. and Huszar, D. (1995). Human antibodies from transgenic mice. Int Rev Immunol 13, 65-93.)

[0096] After antibodies have been obtained, they may be tested for activity, for example via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

[0097] Anti-leptin antibodies as well as epitope sequences suitable for generating antibodies and antibody fragments are described in US20070104708 (SEQ ID NOs 49-55) which is incorporated herein by reference as if fully set-forth herein.

[0098] Leptin peptide antagonists can also be used with the present invention. One leptin antagonist, a modified mammalian leptin polypeptide termed superactive leptin mutein is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 8,969,292 which is incorporated by reference as if fully set-forth herein.

[0099] The term "peptide" as used herein encompass native peptides (either degradation products, synthetically synthesized peptides, or recombinant peptides), peptidomimetics (typically, synthetically synthesized peptides), and the peptide analogues peptoids and semipeptoids, and may have, for example, modifications rendering the peptides more stable while in a body or more capable of penetrating into cells. Such modifications include, but are not limited to: N-terminus modifications; C-terminus modifications; peptide bond modifications, including but not limited to CH.sub.2--NH, CH.sub.2--S, CH.sub.2--S.dbd.O, O.dbd.C--NH, CH.sub.2--O, CH.sub.2--CH.sub.2, S.dbd.C--NH, CH.dbd.CH, and CF.dbd.CH; backbone modifications; and residue modifications. Methods for preparing peptidomimetic compounds are well known in the art and are specified, for example, in Ramsden, C. A., ed. (1992), Quantitative Drug Design, Chapter 17.2, F. Choplin Pergamon Press, which is incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein. Further details in this respect are provided hereinbelow.

[0100] Peptide bonds (--CO--NH--) within the peptide may be substituted, for example, by N-methylated bonds (--N(CH3)--CO--); ester bonds (--C(R)H--C--O--O--C(R)--N--); ketomethylene bonds (--CO--CH2-); a_-aza bonds (--NH--N(R)--CO--), wherein R is any alkyl group, e.g., methyl; carba bonds (--CH2-NH--); hydroxyethylene bonds (--CH(OH)--CH2-); thioamide bonds (--CS--NH--); olefinic double bonds (--CH.dbd.CH--); retro amide bonds (--NH--CO--); and peptide derivatives (--N(R)--CH2-CO--), wherein R is the "normal"side chain, naturally presented on the carbon atom. These modifications can occur at any of the bonds along the peptide chain and even at several (2-3) at the same time.

[0101] Natural aromatic amino acids, Trp, Tyr, and Phe, may be substituted for synthetic non-natural acids such as, for instance, tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (TIC), naphthylelanine (NoI), ring-methylated derivatives of Phe, halogenated derivatives of Phe, and o-methyl-Tyr.

[0102] In addition to the above, the peptides of the present invention may also include one or more modified amino acids or one or more non-amino acid monomers (e.g., fatty acids, complex carbohydrates, etc.)

[0103] The term "amino acid" or "amino acids" is understood to include the 20 naturally occurring amino acids; those amino acids often modified post-translationally in vivo, including, for example, hydroxyproline, phosphoserine, and phosphothreonine; and other less common amino acids, including but not limited to 2-aminoadipic acid, hydroxylysine, isodesmosine, nor-valine, nor-leucine, and ornithine. Furthermore, the term "amino acid" includes both D- and L-amino acids.

[0104] Amino acids are referred to by the standard three letter code. Amino acids are L amino acids unless otherwise noted, for example, by addition of the prefix "D". For example, the code Trp refers to L-tryptophan, while the codes D-Trp and DTrp refers to D-tryptophan. The code Aib refers to 2-aminoisobutyric acid. The code Orn refers to ornithine. The code Lys-Ac refers to acetyllysine. The code HomoLys refers to homolysine. The code H-Cys refers to homocysteine.

[0105] In some embodiments, peptidic leptin antagonists used to implement the teachings herein are utilized in a linear form, although in some embodiments, cyclic forms thereof are used.

[0106] In some embodiments, peptidic leptin antagonists used to implement the teachings herein are synthesized by any techniques that are known to those skilled in the art of peptide synthesis. For solid phase peptide synthesis, a summary of the many techniques may be found in: Stewart, J. M. and Young, J. D. (1963), "Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis," W. H. Freeman Co. (San Francisco); and Meienhofer, J (1973). "Hormonal Proteins and Peptides, " vol. 2, p. 46, Academic Press (New York). For a review of classical solution synthesis, see Schroder, G. and Lupke, K. (1965). The Peptides, vol. 1, Academic Press (New York).

[0107] In general, peptide synthesis methods comprise the sequential addition of one or more amino acids or suitably protected amino acids to a growing peptide chain. Normally, either the amino or the carboxyl group of the first amino acid is protected by a suitable protecting group. The protected or derivatized amino acid can then either be attached to an inert solid support or utilized in solution by adding the next amino acid in the sequence having the complimentary (amino or carboxyl) group suitably protected, under conditions suitable for forming the amide linkage. The protecting group is then removed from this newly added amino acid residue and the next amino acid (suitably protected) is then added, and so forth; traditionally this process is accompanied by wash steps as well. After all of the desired amino acids have been linked in the proper sequence, any remaining protecting groups (and any solid support) are removed sequentially or concurrently, to afford the final peptide compound. By simple modification of this general procedure, it is possible to add more than one amino acid at a time to a growing chain, for example, by coupling (under conditions which do not racemize chiral centers) a protected tripeptide with a properly protected dipeptide to form, after deprotection, a pentapeptide, and so forth.

[0108] Further description of peptide synthesis is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,472,505. A preferred method of preparing the peptide compounds of the present invention involve solid-phase peptide synthesis, utilizing a solid support.

[0109] In some embodiments, peptidic leptin antagonists used to implement the teachings herein are generated using cell expression approaches by utilizing expression vectors for prokaryotic or eukaryotic expression or alternatively, the peptide can be expressed in-situ by delivering a suitable expression construct to cardiovascular tissue.

[0110] To express the peptide sequence in cardiovascular cells, a polynucleotide sequence encoding the peptide (see, for example, US20130133089) is preferably ligated into a nucleic acid construct suitable for mammalian cell expression. Such a nucleic acid construct includes a promoter sequence for directing transcription of the polynucleotide sequence in the cell in a constitutive or inducible manner.

[0111] Constitutive promoters suitable for use with the present invention are promoter sequences that are active under most environmental conditions and most types of cells, such as the cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Rous sarcoma virus (RSV).

[0112] Polyadenylation sequences can also be added to the expression vector in order to increase the efficiency of mRNA translation. Two distinct sequence elements are required for accurate and efficient polyadenylation: GU- or U-rich sequences located downstream from the polyadenylation site and a highly conserved sequence of six nucleotides, namely AAUAAA, located 11-30 nucleotides upstream of the site. Termination and polyadenylation signals suitable for the present invention include those derived from SV40.

[0113] In addition to the embodiments already described, the expression vector of the present invention may typically contain other specialized elements intended to increase the level of expression of cloned nucleic acids or to facilitate the identification of cells that carry the recombinant DNA. For example, a number of animal viruses contain DNA sequences that promote extra-chromosomal replication of the viral genome in permissive cell types. Plasmids bearing these viral replicons are replicated episomally as long as the appropriate factors are provided by genes either carried on the plasmid or with the genome of the host cell.

[0114] The expression vector of the present invention may or may not include a eukaryotic replicon. If a eukaryotic replicon is present, the vector is capable of amplification in eukaryotic cells using the appropriate selectable marker. If the vector does not comprise a eukaryotic replicon, no episomal amplification is possible.

[0115] Examples for mammalian expression vectors include, but are not limited to, pcDNA3 (SEQ ID NO 56), pc DNA3.1 (+/-) (SEQ ID NO 57-58), pGL3 (SEQ ID NO 59), pZeoSV2 (+/-) (SEQ ID NO 60), pSecTag2 (SEQ ID NO 61), pDisplay (SEQ ID NO 62), pEF/myc/cyto (SEQ ID NO 63), pCMV/myc/cyto (SEQ ID NO 64), pCR3.1 (SEQ ID NO 65), pSinRep5 (SEQ ID NO 66), DH26S, DHBB, pNMT1, pNMT41, and pNMT81, which are available from Invitrogen, pCI (SEQ ID NO 67) which is available from Promega, pMbac (SEQ ID NO 68), pPbac (SEQ ID NO 69), pBK-RSV (SEQ ID NO 70) and pBK-CMV (SEQ ID NO 71), which are available from Strategene, pTRES which is available from Clontech, and their derivatives.

[0116] Expression vectors containing regulatory elements from eukaryotic viruses such as retroviruses can be also used. SV40 vectors include pSVT7 and pMT2 (SEQ ID NO 72), for instance. Vectors derived from bovine papilloma virus include pBV-lMTHA, and vectors derived from Epstein-Barr virus include pHEBO and p2O5. Other exemplary vectors include pMSG, pAV009/A.sup.+, pMTO10/A.sup.+, pMAMneo-5, baculovirus pDSVE, and any other vector allowing expression of proteins under the direction of the SV40 early promoter, SV40 later promoter, metallothionein promoter, murine mammary tumor virus promoter, Rous sarcoma virus promoter, polyhedrin promoter, or other promoters shown effective for expression in eukaryotic cells.

[0117] Viruses are very specialized infectious agents that have evolved, in many cases, to elude host defense mechanisms. Typically, viruses infect and propagate in specific cell types. The targeting specificity of viral vectors utilizes its natural specificity to specifically target predetermined cell types and thereby introduce a recombinant gene into the infected cell. Thus, the type of vector used by the present invention will depend on the cell type transformed. The ability to select suitable vectors according to the cell type transformed is well within the capabilities of the ordinarily skilled artisan and as such, no general description of selection considerations is provided herein. For example, bone marrow cells can be targeted using the human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-1) and kidney cells may be targeted using the heterologous promoter present in the baculovirus Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV), as described by Liang, C. Y. et al. (2004). High efficiency gene transfer into mammalian kidney cells using baculovirus vectors. Arch Virol 149, 51-60.

[0118] Recombinant viral vectors are useful for in vivo expression of a leptin peptide since they offer advantages such as lateral infection and targeting specificity. Lateral infection is inherent in the life cycle of retrovirus, for example, and is the process by which a single infected cell produces many progeny virions that bud off and infect neighboring cells. The result is the rapid infection of a large area of cells, most of which were not initially infected by the original viral particles. This is in contrast to vertical-type infection in which the infectious agent spreads only through daughter progeny. Viral vectors can also be produced that are unable to spread laterally. This characteristic can be useful if the desired purpose is to introduce a specified gene into only a localized number of targeted cells.

[0119] As is mentioned hereinabove, compositions (also called, compositions-of-matter) according to the teachings herein also includes a carrier for local delivery of the leptin antagonist. Such a carrier can be a mesh (FIG. 1c) an injectable gel (e.g. in-situ forming depot) (FIG. 1a), a thin (preferably biodegradable) film (FIG. 1b), a scaffold (FIG. 3). In some embodiments, the composition is a coating on a medical device (FIG. 27A). In some embodiments, a medical device is impregnated with the composition (FIG. 27B). In some embodiments, the composition is in the form of a sheet (such as the film of FIG. 1b or the mesh of FIG. 1c) that constitutes a portion of a medical device such as a stent cover (FIG. 27C) or graft of a graft-stent assembly (FIG. 27D). In some embodiments, the composition constitutes a medical device (FIG. 27E).

[0120] In some embodiments a carrier of a composition is a balloon catheter, or a composition is delivered locally using a drug-eluting balloon catheter (FIG. 2). The manufacture and use of drug-eluting balloons for localized delivery of active-pharmaceutical ingredients are well known in the art (especially to the walls of fluid-filled bodily cavities, such as of the cardiovascular system), for example, the In.Pact Admiral.RTM. DCB drug-coated balloon by Medtronic (Dublin, Ireland) and Lutonix.RTM. 035 by C. R. Bard, Inc. (Murray Hill, N.J., USA).

[0121] Examples of in-situ formed depots (ISFD) include semi-solid polymers which can be injected as a melt and form a depot upon cooling to body temperature or tow part systems which gel upon mixing (FIG. 3a). Depending on the embodiments, such compositions can be injected into or in contact with bodily tissue that is to be treated

[0122] The requirements for a semi-solid ISFDs include low melting or glass transition temperatures in the range of 25-65.degree. C. and an intrinsic viscosity in the range of 0.05-0.8 dl/g [12-14]. Below the viscosity threshold of 0.05 dl/g no delayed diffusion could be observed, whereas above 0.8 dl/g the ISFD was no longer injectable using a needle. At injection temperatures above 37.degree. C. but below 65.degree. C. these polymers behave like viscous fluids which solidify to highly viscous depots. Drugs are incorporated into the molten polymer by mixing without the application of solvents. In the art, it is known to use thermoplastic pastes (TP) can be used to generate a subcutaneous drug reservoir from which diffusion occurs into the systemic circulation. In contrast, in some embodiments of the teachings herein, a thermoplastic paste is used to generate a composition for the sustained release of leptin antagonist from which diffusion occurs into tissue in contact with the composition, thereby effecting sustained-release local administration of the leptin antagonist.

[0123] In situ cross-linked polymer systems utilize a cross-linked polymer network to control the diffusion of bioactive agents (e.g., leptin antagonists for implementing the teachings herein) over a prolonged period of time, thereby allowing implementation of sustained release compositions comprising leptin antagonists for use in local administration thereof. Use of in situ cross-linking implants necessitate protection of the bioactive agents during the cross-linking reaction. This could be achieved by encapsulation into fast degrading gelatin micro-particles.

[0124] An ISFD can also be based on polymer precipitation. A water-insoluble and biodegradable polymer is dissolved in a biocompatible organic solvent to which leptin antagonist is added forming a solution or suspension after mixing that constitutes a composition according to the teachings herein. When this composition is injected into the body of a subject in need thereof the water miscible organic solvent dissipates and water penetrates into the organic phase. This leads to phase separation and precipitation of the polymer forming a depot at the site of injection. One example of such a system is Atrigele.TM. (ARTIX Laboratories). The thus-formed depot is a composition for the sustained release of leptin antagonist from which diffusion occurs into tissue in contact with the composition, thereby effecting sustained-release local administration of the leptin antagonist.

[0125] Thermally induced gelling systems can also be used as ISFDs. Numerous polymers show abrupt changes in solubility as a function of environmental temperature. The prototypic thermosensitive polymer is poly(N-isopropyl acryl amide), poly-NIPAAM, which exhibits a rather sharp lower critical solution temperature.

[0126] Thermoplastic pastes such as the new generation of poly(ortho-esters) developed by AP Pharma can also be used for depot drug delivery. Such pastes include polymers that are semi-solid at room temperature, hence heating for drug incorporation and injection is no longer necessary. Injection is possible through needles no larger than 22 gauge. The leptin antagonist is mixed into the systems in a dry and, therefore, stabilized state. Shrinkage or swelling upon injection is thought to be marginal and, therefore, the initial drug burst is expected to be lower than in the other types of ISFD. An additional advantage is afforded by the self-catalyzed degradation by surface erosion. As noted above, IFSD compositions are suitable for effecting sustained-release local administration of the leptin antagonist. In some embodiments, an IFSD composition can be formulated for sustained-release (SR), extended-release (ER, XR, or XL), time-release or timed-release, controlled-release (CR), or continuous-release.

[0127] Examples of thin films (FIG. 3b) suitable for release of a leptin antagonist (or polynucleotide encoding same) include polymeric films (for a review of thin films, see Zelikin ACS Nano, 2010, 4 (5), pp 2494-2509; Venkat et al. 2010, Polymer Thin Films for Biomedical Applications, Wiley VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim). Such thin film carriers can be biodegradable or dissolvable over time.

[0128] Biodegradable microspheres fabricated from, for example, PGA, PLGA, PLA, or PLLA can also be used for local delivery of a leptin antagonist. Such microspheres can be produced as described by Kim and Park (J Control Release, 2004 Jul. 23;98(1):115-25).

[0129] A balloon such as an angioplasty balloon (FIG. 2) can also be used to deliver a leptin antagonist to a vascular wall or an inner wall of a heart chamber. Approach for coating/loading a balloon with a peptide are described in EP2643030; U.S. Pat. Nos. 8,617,136; 8,617,104; 8,617,114; WO1997017099; US20110166547 and US20120150142. As noted above, such drug-eluting balloons for use for localized delivery of active-pharmaceutical ingredients are well known in the art, for example, the In.Pact Admiral.RTM. drug-coated balloon by Medtronic (Dublin, Ireland) and Lutonix.RTM. 035 by C. R. Bard, Inc. (Murray Hill, N.J., USA). It is important to note that such drug-eluting balloons are known to administer extended release compositions of active pharmaceutical ingredients, e.g., In.Pact Admiral delivers a composition that provides extended release of a continuous therapeutic dose of Paclitaxel for over 180 days.

[0130] Although delivery of leptin or leptin receptor binding agents such as those described above (or expression thereof in cardiovascular cells), is presently preferred, downregulation of leptin activity at specific tissues can also be effected at the transcript level using a variety of molecules that interfere with transcription and/or translation (e.g., antisense, siRNA, Ribozyme, or DNAzyme).

[0131] RNA interference can be used to downregulate endogenous leptin via a small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecule. RNAi is a two-step process, in the first, the initiation step, input double-stranded (dsRNA) is digested into 21- to 23-nucleotide (nt) small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), probably by the action of Dicer, a member of the RNase III family of dsRNA-specific ribonucleases, which processes (cleaves) dsRNA (introduced directly or by means of a transgene or a virus) in an ATP-dependent manner. Successive cleavage events degrade the RNA to 19- to 21-bp duplexes (the siRNA), each with 2-nucleotide 3' overhangs (Hutvagner, G. and Zamore, P. D. (2002), RNAi: Nature abhors a double-strand. Curr Opin Gen Dev 12, 225-232; and Bernstein, E. (2001). Role for a bidentate ribonuclease in the initiation step of RNA interference. Nature 409, 363-366).

[0132] In the second step, termed the effector step, the siRNA duplexes bind to a nuclease complex to form the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). An ATP-dependent unwinding of the siRNA duplex is required for activation of the RISC. The active RISC then targets the homologous transcript by base-pairing interactions and cleaves the mRNA into 12-nucleotide fragments from the 3' terminus of the siRNA (Hutvagner and Zamore (2002); Hammond et al. (2001) Nat. Rev. Gen. 2:110-119 (2001); and Sharp, P. A. (2001). RNA interference. Genes Dev 15, 485-490). Although the mechanism of cleavage remains to be elucidated, research indicates that each RISC contains a single siRNA and an RNase (Hutvagner and Zamore (2002)).

[0133] Synthesis of RNAi molecules suitable for use with the present invention can be effected as follows. First, the leptin mRNA sequence (SEQ ID NO 2) is scanned downstream of the AUG start codon for AA-dinucleotide sequences. Occurrence of each AA and the 19 3'-adjacent nucleotides is recorded as a potential siRNA target site. Preferably, siRNA target sites are selected from the open reading frame (ORF), as untranslated regions (UTRs) are richer in regulatory protein binding sites. UTR-binding proteins and/or translation initiation complexes may interfere with binding of the siRNA endonuclease complex (Tuschl (2001)). It will be appreciated, however, that siRNAs directed at untranslated regions may also be effective, as demonstrated for GAPDH, wherein siRNA directed at the 5' UTR mediated about a 90% decrease in cellular GAPDH mRNA and completely abolished protein levels (wwwdotambiondotcom/techlib/tn/91/912dothtml).

[0134] Second, potential target sites are compared to an appropriate genomic database (e.g., human, mouse, rat, etc.) using any sequence alignment software, such as the BlastN software available from the NCBI server (wwwdotncbidotnlmdotnihdotgov/BLAST/). Putative target sites that exhibit significant homology to other coding sequences are filtered out.

[0135] Qualifying target sequences are selected as templates for siRNA synthesis. Preferred sequences are those including low G/C content, as these have proven to be more effective in mediating gene silencing as compared with sequences including G/C content higher than 55%. Several target sites are preferably selected along the length of the target gene for evaluation. For better evaluation of the selected siRNAs, a negative control is preferably used in conjunction. Negative-control siRNAs preferably include the same nucleotide composition as the siRNAs but lack significant homology to the genome. Thus, a scrambled nucleotide sequence of the siRNA is preferably used, provided it does not display any significant homology to any other gene.

[0136] Another agent capable of downregulating leptin is a DNAzyme molecule, which is capable of specifically cleaving an mRNA transcript or a DNA sequence of the leptin. DNAzymes are single-stranded polynucleotides that are capable of cleaving both single- and double-stranded target sequences (Breaker, R. R. and Joyce, G. F. (1995). A DNA enzyme with Mg.sup.2+-dependent RNA phosphoesterase activity, Curr Biol 2, 655-660; Santoro, S. W. and Joyce, G. F. (1997). A general purpose RNA-cleaving DNA enzyme, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 94, 4262-4266). A general model (the "10-23" model) for the DNAzyme has been proposed. "10-23" DNAzymes have a catalytic domain of 15 deoxyribonucleotides, flanked by two substrate-recognition domains of seven to nine deoxyribonucleotides each. This type of DNAzyme can effectively cleave its substrate RNA at purine; pyrimidine junctions (Santoro and Joyce (1997)); for review of DNAzymes, see; Khachigian, L. M. (2002). DNAzymes: cutting a path to a new class of therapeutics. Curr Opin Mol Ther 4, 119-121.

[0137] Examples of construction and amplification of synthetic, engineered DNAzymes recognizing single- and double-stranded target cleavage sites are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,326,174 to Joyce et al. DNAzymes of similar design directed against the human Urokinase receptor were recently observed to inhibit Urokinase receptor expression, and successfully inhibit colon cancer cell metastasis in vivo (Itoh, T. et al., Abstract 409, American Society of Gene Therapy 5th Annual Meeting (wwwdotasgtdotorg), Jun. 5-9, 2002, Boston, Mass. USA.). In another application, DNAzymes complementary to ber-abl oncogenes were successful in inhibiting the oncogene's expression in leukemia cells, and in reducing relapse rates in autologous bone marrow transplants in cases of Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) and Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL).

[0138] Downregulation of leptin can also be effected by using an antisense polynucleotide capable of specifically hybridizing with an mRNA transcript encoding leptin.

[0139] Design of antisense molecules that can be used to efficiently downregulate a leptin must be effected while considering two aspects important to the antisense approach. The first aspect is delivery of the oligonucleotide into the cytoplasm of the appropriate cells, while the second aspect is design of an oligonucleotide that specifically binds the designated mRNA within cells in a manner inhibiting the translation thereof.

[0140] The prior art teaches of a number of delivery strategies which can be used to efficiently deliver oligonucleotides into a wide variety of cell types (see, for example: Luft, F. C. (1998). Making sense out of antisense oligodeoxynucleotide delivery: getting there is half the fun. J Mol Med 76(2), 75-76 (1998); Kronenwett et al. (1998). Oligodeoxyribonucleotide uptake in primary human hematopoietic cells is enhanced by cationic lipids and depends on the hematopoietic cell subset. Blood 91, 852-862; Rajur, S. B. et al. (1997). Covalent protein-oligonucleotide conjugates for efficient delivery of antisense molecules. Bioconjug Chem 8, 935-940; Lavigne et al. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 237: 566-71 (1997); and Aoki, M. et al. (1997). In vivo transfer efficiency of antisense oligonucleotides into the myocardium using HVJ-liposome method. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 231, 540-545).

[0141] In addition, also available are algorithms for identifying those sequences with the highest predicted binding affinity for their target mRNA based on a thermodynamic cycle that accounts for the energetics of structural alterations in both the target mRNA and the oligonucleotide (see, for example, Walton, S. P. et al. (199). Prediction of antisense oligonucleotide binding affinity to a structured RNA target. Biotechnol Bioeng 65, 1-9).

[0142] Such algorithms have been successfully used to implement an antisense approach in cells. For example, the algorithm developed by Walton et al. enabled scientists to successfully design antisense oligonucleotides for rabbit beta-globin (RBG) and mouse tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) transcripts. The same research group has more recently reported that the antisense activity of rationally selected oligonucleotides against three model target mRNAs (human lactate dehydrogenase A and B and rat gp130) in cell culture as evaluated by a kinetic PCR technique proved effective in almost all cases, including tests against three different targets in two cell types with phosphodiester and phosphorothioate oligonucleotide chemistries.

[0143] In addition, several approaches for designing and predicting efficiencies of specific oligonucleotides using an in vitro system were also published (Matveeva, O. et al. (1998). Prediction of antisense oligonucleotide efficacy by in vitro methods, Nature Biotechnology 16, 1374-1375).

[0144] Another agent capable of down-regulating leptin is a ribozyme molecule capable of specifically cleaving an mRNA transcript encoding leptin is a ribozyme molecule capable of specifically cleaving an mRNA transcript encoding leptin. Ribozymes increasingly are being used for the sequence-specific inhibition of gene expression by the cleavage of mRNAs encoding proteins of interest (Welch, P. J. et al. (1998). Expression of ribozymes in gene transfer systems to modulate target RNA levels. Curr Opin Biotechnol 9, 486-496).

[0145] An additional method of regulating the expression of leptin in cardiovascular cells is via triplex-forming oligonucleotides (TFOs). Recent studies show that TFOs can be designed to recognize and bind to polypurine or polypirimidine regions in double-stranded helical DNA in a sequence-specific manner. These recognition rules are outlined in; Maher III, L. J., et al. (1989). Inhibition of DNA binding proteins by oligonucleotide-directed triple helix formation. Science 245, 725730; Moser, H. E., et al. (1987). Sequence-specific cleavage of double helical DNA by triple helix formation. Science 238, 645-650; Beal, P. A. and Dervan, P. B. (1991). Second structural motif for recognition of DNA by oligonucleotide-directed triple-helix formation. Science 251, 1360-1363; Cooney, M., et al. (1988). Science 241, 456-459; and Hogan, M. E., et al., EP Publication 375408. Modifications of the oligonucleotides, such as the introduction of intercalators and backbone substitutions, and optimization of binding conditions (e.g., pH and cation concentration) have aided in overcoming inherent obstacles to TFO activity such as charge repulsion and instability, and it was recently shown that synthetic oligonucleotides can be targeted to specific sequences (for a recent review, see Seidman, M. M. and Glazer, P. M. (2003). The potential for gene repair via triple helix formation J Clin Invest 112, 487-494.

[0146] As is described hereinabove, the present invention can be used to treat cardiovascular disorders affecting heart or vascular tissue. The following describes several options for local delivery of a leptin antagonist to tissue, for example heart and other cardiovascular tissue, specifically muscle and valve tissue.

In some embodiments, the in vivo implantation is outside an organ directly contacting tissue of the organ (for organs covered with serous tissue, the composition is implanted underneath the serous tissue). In some embodiments, the in vivo implantation is into an organ. In some embodiments, the implantation is from inside a hollow defined by the organ, for example, inside a blood vessel lumen contacting the endothelium thereof.

[0174] In some embodiments, the composition is in the form of a leptin antagonist containing sheet, in some such embodiments configured to be contacted with in vivo tissue, for example, by suturing, with the use of biological adhesive, or pressed against the tissue, for example with the help of a stent or such component, e.g., the sheet is used as a stent cover for a balloon-expandable or self-expanding stent.

Treatment of Athersclerotic Plaque

[0182] It is known that stable athersclerotic plaque accumulates in the inner walls of mammalian arteries. In some instances, the stable plaque or rupture-prone plaque. The unstable lesion may disintegrate, forming emboli.

[0183] An aspect of the teachings herein is based on the Inventor's discovery that locally synthesized leptin within the carotid atherosclerotic plaque, which characterize unstable plaques (rupture prone), correlates with brain emboli. Therefore, the Inventor believes that a leptin antagonist administered to a stable athersclerotic plaque should reduce the rate and/or incidence of the conversion of a stable athersclerotic plaque to an unstable lesion.

[0184] According to an aspect of some embodiments of the teachings herein, there is provided a method for treatment of athersclerotic plaque, comprising: administering a pharmaceutically-effective amount of a leptin antagonist to athersclerotic plaque accumulated in the inner walls of an artery, thereby at least one of: (a) reducing the rate and (b) reducing the incidence, of conversion of a stable athersclerotic plaque to an unstable lesion.

[0185] Administration of the leptin antagonist is any suitable administration. In some embodiments, the administration is by sustained-release of the leptin antagonist directly to an inner wall in which plaque is accumulated, from a leptin antagonist containing composition. In some embodiments, such sustained release is substantial continuous release of a pharmaceutically-effective amount of leptin antagonist for a period of not less than three days, not less than 5 days, not less than 8 days and even not less than 14 days. In some such embodiments, the composition is in direct contact with the surface of the plaque to be treated. In some embodiments, the composition is in contact with the inner walls of a blood vessel with accumulated plaque.

Surgical Connecting Devices

[0186] It is known that trauma to a blood vessel may lead to myointimal hyperplasia (MIH). One type of trauma that may cause MIH is caused by surgical connecting devices such as surgical staples and suture threads that are applied to blood vessels, for example, during surgery for example surgical anastomosis. It has been found that in some instances, local administration of leptin antagonist to such wounds may be able to mitigate or prevent MIH.

[0187] Thus, according to an aspect of some embodiments of the invention, there is also provided a surgical connecting device, comprising: a solid device body made of a material; and functionally associated with the device body, a pharmaceutically-effective amount of leptin antagonist. In some embodiments, the device body is in the form selected from the group consisting of surgical suture thread and a surgical staple.

[0192] In some embodiments, the functional association of the leptin antagonist with the device body is that a composition comprising the leptin antagonist coats the device body. For example, in some such embodiments thread 10 or staple 12 are made of PGA, and coated with a coating of PLGA that includes a pharmaceutically effective amount of leptin antagonist.

[0193] In some embodiments, the functional association of the leptin antagonist with the device body is that a composition comprising the leptin antagonist impregantes the device body. For example, in some such embodiments thread 10 is made of silk and impregnated with a composition that includes a pharmaceutically effective amount of leptin antagonist.

[0194] In some embodiments, the functional association of the leptin antagonist with the device body is that the material from which the device body is made is a composition comprising the leptin antagonist. For example, in some such embodiments thread 10 or staple 12 are made of PGA that includes a pharmaceutically effective amount of leptin antagonist.

Administration of Leptin Antagonist in Fluid-Filled Cavities

[0195] As noted above, the present inventor has found that in vivo implantation inside a fluid-filled cavity of the body (for example of the cardio vascular system such as blood vessels or cardiac chambers) can have a desirable pharmaceutical effect on tissue in proximity of the implanted composition with limited or no substantial side-effects:

[0227] In FIG. 28, a graft assembly 18 according to the teachings herein is schematically depicted. Graft assembly 18 is a ring-graft assembly suitable for treatment of abdominal aorta aneurysms and includes a flexible graft 20 that defines a conduit for blood flow and three expandable anchoring rings 22 as graft anchors. Each anchoring ring 22 is a radially expandable device that is substantially a single 360.degree. ring of material.

Stents are preferred as anchors as these typically also provide support for the vessel in which deployed and provide greater anchoring of the graft to a vessel in which deployed. Graft assembly 18 is substantially similar to known graft assemblies except by being functionally associated with a pharmaceutically-effective amount of leptin antagonist, is made in substantially the same way, and is used in substantially the same way. Specifically, graft assembly 18 has at least one component that is functionally associated with a pharmaceutically-effective amount of leptin antagonist.

[0228] For example, in some embodiments, graft 20 is substantially a tube made of a high-density multifilament polyester cloth coated with a coating of a hydrogel that includes a pharmaceutically effective amount of leptin antagonist. In some embodiments, the coating is on the entire outer surface of graft 20. In some embodiments, the coating is on the outer surface of the termini of the three legs of graft 20 (e.g., a 5 cm length from each terminus.

[0229] For example, in some embodiments, graft 20 is made of a high-density multifilament polyester cloth coat that has been soaked in and is therefor impregnated with a composition (e.g., a gel such as of Example 11) that comprises leptin antagonist.

Specifically, each one of stents 24, 26 and 28 has at least one component that is functionally associated with a pharmaceutically-effective amount of leptin antagonist. Depending on the embodiment, a given stent 24, 26 and 28 according to the teachings herein may include one or more components, each having one or more of the additional features detailed hereinabove. Embodiments of any one of stents 24, 26 and 28 are self-expanding stents. Embodiments of any one of stents 24, 26 and 28 are balloon-expandable stents.

[0233] For example, in some embodiments, a cover 30 or a cover 32 is made of a high-density multifilament polyester cloth coated with a coating of a hydrogel that includes a pharmaceutically effective amount of leptin antagonist, typically on the outer surface of the cover.

[0234] For example, in some embodiments, a cover 30 or a cover 32 is made of a high-density multifilament polyester cloth coated that has been soaked in and is therefore impregnated with a composition (e.g., a gel such as of Example 11) that comprises leptin antagonist.

EXAMPLES

[0261] Reference is now made to the following examples, which together with the above descriptions, illustrate the invention in a non limiting fashion.

Example 1

Localized Leptin Synthesis in a Mouse Model

[0262] A novel mouse model was used to simulate local leptin synthesis in the ascending aorta in order to assess the effect of leptin on aortic remodeling and heart structure and function.

Materials and Methods

[0263] A slow release leptin film (FIG. 1b) made of polylactic co-glycolic acid (PLGA) matrix (1.times.1.5 mm), and containing either 2 .mu.g leptin or no protein (control) was applied to the anterior surface of the proximal ascending aorta (FIG. 4).

[0264] The leptin slow-release film was manufactured by impregnating a poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) film with leptin. One gram of PLGA 6535 polymer (D,L-lactide:glycolide: 65:35, Mw=45,000-75,000 Da; Lakeshore, Biomaterials, Birmingham, Ala. USA) was dissolved in 10 mL MgCl.sub.2 (Fisher Scientific, Loughborough, UK). Sodium chloride (10 mg in 0.2 mL distilled water) and 25 .mu.L ethylene glycol (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, Mo., USA) were added to the polymeric solution and sonicated for 20 seconds. Mouse leptin powder (1 mg; #L3772; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, Mo., USA) was suspended in 2 mL of the polymeric solution, followed by casting on a flat surface of Teflon molds to create a flat film. Films were dried in a hood for 48 hours, and then subjected to high vacuum for 12 hours to extract any residual solvent. Control (placebo) films were fabricated in the same way without the addition of leptin. The calculated amount of leptin per 1.times.1.5-mm film used currently for implantation in each mouse was 2 .mu.g.

[0265] Another option of leptin application for local slow-release has been a gel composed of two liquid materials which gel (solidify) upon mixing at the time of infection. These are a modified carboxymethyl cellulose with adipic dihydrazide (CMC-ADH) and an oxidized dextrane in DDW (DX-COH). Methylene blue dye (0.5%) was also added to the DX-COH solution to make the resulting gel more visible. Leptin (sigma, L3772, St. Louis, Mo., USA) was added to the gel by an emulsion technique

[0266] Serum leptin levels were determined in ApoE.sup.-/- mice after receiving 20 .mu.g mouse leptin via peri-aortic application (in another experiment, Tao et al. ATVB 2013). Blood was sample on days 0, 7, 14, and 21, and leptinanalyzeded by ELISA assay (Quantikine Mouse Lep Kit, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, Minn., USA): Day 0-3.5 ng/mL; day 7--leptin 8.0 ng/mL, placebo 9.2 ng/mL; day 14--leptin 12.0 ng/mL, placebo 14.5 ng/mL; and day 21--leptin 12.25 ng/mL, placebo 12.5 ng/mL (FIG. 6). Notably, these values fell within the normal range of plasma leptin in ApoE-/- mice receiving Western diet (means 5.1.+-.1.4 to 17.+-.3.4 ng/mL). It should also be emphasized that circulating leptin levels are known to increase with age, as also observed in our series.

[0267] This unique mouse model was utilized to perform two experiments: Mice in experiment 1 were fed postoperatively with high fat diet (HFD), and were followed up for 45 days. In experiment 2 mice received normal chow for 30 or 60 days. Mouse weight and blood pressure (BP) were assessed weekly. All mice recovered from surgery uneventfully.

Results

[0268] In both mouse model experiments, leptin or control treated mice gained weight equally during the follow up period, suggesting no systemic leptin effect. Systolic BP measured weekly in mice of experiment 2 was 100 mmHg throughout the first 4 weeks, and increased to 120 mmHg by week 6 in both leptin treated and control mice. Based on two separate experiments, both HFD and normal chow feeding yielded in general similar results.

[0269] The following data report the results of experiment 2 (normal chow feeding).

[0270] Echocardiography of the ascending aorta at 2 mm distal to the aortic valve level revealed an increase in aortic diameter at peak systole in leptin treated mice vs controls (p=0.08, FIG. 6; Exp. 1 using HFD yielded P<0.003). That same aortic diameter in systole vs. diastole, in leptin compared to control treated mice. There was no significant difference in diameter further distally on the ascending aorta. Notably, the aortic valve annulus did not dilate in response to local leptin application. Histological analysis of the ascending aorta revealed features of medial degeneration at the site of leptin application, including fragmentation of the elastic lamellas, as demonstrated by elastica van Giesen staining, and depletion of .alpha.SMA in the media (FIG. 7). These structural changes likely underlie local stiffening and dilatation in the proximal ascending aorta.

[0271] Echocardiography (final vs. pre-operative) revealed a concentric remodeling of the left ventricle, with hypertrophy of all LV walls (p<0.001). Wall thickening was most pronounced in diastole (p=0.002, FIG. 8). Left ventricular diameter was increased in both systole and diastole (p=0.08, p=0.02, respectively, FIG. 9), leading to a reduction in the LV fractional area change (FAC, p=0.07, FIG. 10).

[0272] Local leptin application at the proximal ascending aorta promoted thickening of the mitral and aortic valve leaflets (p=0.01, p<0.001 accordingly, FIG. 11). Mitral leaflets were diffusely thickened, while aortic valve leaflets displayed thickening in their free edge, composed mostly of ECM and stromal cells. These proliferating cells are assumed analogous to human valvular interstitial cells (VICs). A few stromal cells within these lesions were positive for .alpha.SMA and TGF.beta. as shown by IHC staining (in analyzed aortic valve leaflets), suggesting VICs activation (FIG. 11). A trend was observed for increased VIC proliferation through Ki67 IHC in leptin treated mice. However, the lack of statistical significance implies that most leaflet hyperplasia took place at an earlier time.

[0273] Increased peak systolic velocity (PSV), as measured at the aortic valve in leptin treated vs control mice was short of statistical significance. However, PSV was significantly augmented in postoperative HFD fed animals.

[0274] These experiments reveal that available leptin in the proximal ascending aorta induces local aortic stiffening and dilation. The resulting changes in local hemodynamics likely drive remodeling of the left ventricle, including LV wall hypertrophy and valve thickening through the aorto-ventricular coupling axis.

Example 2

Local Leptin Antagonism in an Ang II Mouse Model

[0275] Angiotensin II (AngII) is the key hormone of the renin-angiotensin system, underlying hypertension and cardiovascular remodeling (Renna et al. Pathophysiology of vascular remodeling in hypertension. Int J Hypertens. 2013;2013: 808353). The phenotypes induced by local leptin application described in Example 1 are reminiscent of AngII induced aortic-ventricular (coupling) remodeling, suggesting that leptin mediates these processes. As such, a leptin antagonist was delivered locally to the ascending aorta in order to assess the effects of leptin down-regulation on AngII induced local aortic remodeling, and aortic-ventricular remodeling in mice.

Materials and Methods

[0276] An osmotic mini-pump, delivering AngII at a rate of 1000 ng/kg/min was implanted subcutaneously in the back of the neck of 14 week old ApoE.sup.-/- mice. Each mouse also underwent left mini-thoracotomy for application of a slow release miniature PLGA film (1.times.1.5 mm) containing either 5 .mu.g leptin antagonist (LA), or PLGA matrix devoid of protein (control). The slow release film was deploye on the surface of the proximal ascending aorta at the position described in Experiment 1. Mice were euthanized 4 weeks following surgery. As expected, blood pressure assessed in both Ang II treated groups after one week was increased by approximate 20% (125 mmHg mean systolic), and was sustained throughout the follow up (FIG. 12). Weight gain pattern was similar in both groups, indicating no systemic effects related to the leptin antagonist (FIG. 13).

Results

[0277] to assess the impact of AngII alone versus AngII plus leptin antagonist on mouse longevity, mortality data from the present experiment were combined with data from a previous experiment, which included a similar cohort of ApoE.sup.-/- mice exposed to AngII, in same dose and duration (Tao M, et al. ATVB 2013). Collectively, a 34% mortality (referred to premature death, prior to the completion of the experiment) was observed in mice treated with AngII (either Ang II alone or Ang II with control film applied on the ascending aorta). Death was related to thoracic (28%) or abdominal (6%) aortic aneurysm rupture. Notably, mice treated with AngII that received also LA were protected form thoracic aneurysm rupture (p=0.03, p=0.005, respectively, FIG. 15). However, these data did not suggest moderation of increased aortic stiffness by LA application.

[0278] Histological analysis revealed medial degeneration in both groups that were treated with AngII. Nevertheless, additional LA application resulted in less fragmentation of the elastic lamellas and fewer sites of .alpha.SMA depletion in the aortic media (FIG. 16). Notably, amongst mice receiving AngII, medial degeneration was rather diffused throughout the aorta. This was in sharp contrast to the effects of local leptin application, which exhibited medial degeneration within the segment in contact with the leptin film alone.

[0279] Immunohistochemical analysis for leptin antigen revealed a weak expression in medial SMCs, and a strong signal within foam cells of aortic luminal atherosclerotic plaques (FIG. 17).

[0280] Mice treated with LA presented less thickening of the left ventricular wall, particularly in diastole (p<0.01, FIG. 18). Left ventricular diameter increased similarly in both groups in diastole however, LA treatment attenuated the increase in LV diameter during systole (p=0.05, FIG. 19). As anticipated, and corresponding to these results, a decrease in FAC in mice co-treated with AngII and LA, was observed, while mice treated by AngII alone exhibited a decrease in fractional area change by over 15% (p=0.03, FIG. 20). Moreover, LV diameter which increased in response to Ang II treatment, was preserved within the baseline (pre-AngII treatment) range in the LA treated mice (P<0.05).

[0281] Peak systolic velocity was decreased in Ang II treated mice that also received LA application, vs. AngII alone (p=0.03, FIG. 21). Notably, since no aortic valve obstruction or changes in its annulus diameter were detected, the PSV parameter is likely reflecting the interaction between proximal aortic hemodynamics, and left ventricular systolic contraction. Thus, PSV moderation by LA may represent attentuation of both aortic and LV remodeling.

[0282] LA also attenuated remodeling of the LV valve. AngII-induced thickening of aortic and mitral valve leaflets was reduced by LA application in both valves (p=0.06 in both valves, FIG. 22 left panels F-I).

[0283] The .alpha.SMA and TGF.beta. antigens were observed in aortic valve leaflet stromal cells in all AngII treated mice (FIG. 22 panels J-M'), decreased proliferation of stromal cells in LA treated mice was demonstrated through Ki67 staining (p=0.26).

[0284] Thus, the present findings show that application of a leptin antagonist at the pivotal location on the proximal ascending aortic surface prevents rupture of thoracic aneurysms induced by systemic infusion of Ang II. Local inhibition of leptin activity reduces the degenerative effects of Ang II on the proximal aorta, which underlie aortic wall destabilization. Thus, moderation of Ang II induced aortic dilatation and attenuates left heart remodeling, presumably via the aorto-ventricular coupling.

[0285] These results highlight the role of leptin as a key mediator of Ang II signaling and indicate that leptin which underlie left ventricular hypertrophy also drives the formation of early aortic valve hyperplastic lesions, which may progress to aortic valve stenosis (AVS).

Example 3

The Role of Leptin in AVS

Materials and Methods

[0286] Human AVS and normal arterial valve (AV) samples were collected for analysis, including autopsy samples, freshly collected AVS specimens from patients undergoing aortic valve replacement surgery, and normal aortic valves from explanted hearts. Formalin fixed valve samples were analyzed by immunohistochemistry for leptin, leptin receptor, CD68 and .alpha.SMA. Fresh samples of AVS valves and normal aortic valves underwent total RNA extraction and analyzed by qPCR and Nanostring technique to assess leptin and leptin receptor mRNA levels. Retroperitoneal fat was used as a positive control in both assays.

Results

[0287] Normal aortic valve leaflets lack leptin (Ob) antigen, and show very few leptin receptor (ObR) positive cells (FIG. 23). Advanced AVS disease was characterized by extensive ossification and infiltration of inflammatory macrophages in the non-calcified rim of cellular tissue (FIG. 24). Leptin was demonstrated mostly in two cell types, SMC-like elongated cells, and macrophage-like round cells, and its prevalence was proportional to the severity of AVS disease. In situ hybridization analysis performed on AVS samples demonstrated leptin mRNA expression, suggesting de novo synthesis (not shown) leptin and leptin receptor mRNA levels were assessed by qPCR and Nanostrings hybridization, using total RNA extracted from freshly collected AVS, AVS were compared to normal AV leaflets (FIG. 25), revealing increased leptin and leptin receptor mRNA in AVS samples.

[0288] To investigate the potential impact of AngII and leptin on human valve cells, in vitro analysis revealed that AngII-mediated proliferation of human valve interstitial cells (VICs) is leptin mediated (leptin-induced proliferation of VICs in FIG. 26). This suggests that leptin synthesized in aortic valve leaflets by VICs and inflammatory macrophages may elicit VIC proliferation and subsequent ossification via a paracrine/autocrine pathways.

Example 4

Preparation of Sustained-Release Film

[0289] Poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) films containing a leptin antagonist (e.g., a leptin antagonist described in U.S. Pat. No. 8,969,292) is produced in a manner analogous to the described in Webber W L et al "Characterization of soluble, salt-loaded degradable PLGA films and their release of tetracycline" J Biomed Mater Res 1998, 41, 18-29.

[0290] Specifically, 1 g PLGA 6535 polymer (D,L-lactide:glycolide: 65:35, Mw=45,000-75,000 Da; Lakeshore. Biomaterials, Birmingham, Ala. USA) is dissolved in 10 mL MeCl.sub.2 (Fisher Scientific, Loughborough, UK). Sodium chloride (10 mg in 0.2 ml distilled water) and 25 .mu.L ethylene glycol (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, Mo., USA) are added to the PLGA solution and sonicated for 20 seconds. 1 mg of the leptin antagonist is suspended in 2 mL of the PLGA solution, followed by casting on the flat surface of a Teflon mold to create a film comprising a leptin antagonist.

Example 5

Evaluation of Sustained-Release Properties of Film

[0291] A 2.times.2.5-mm patch of PLGA film of Example 4 is maintained in 5 mL sterile PBS at 37.degree. C. for 28 days. Every 7 days the PBS medium is sampled before being aspirated and replaced by 5 mL of fresh PBS. The medium samples are analyzed by ELISA (Ray Biotech, Norcross, Ga., USA) for leptin antagonist levels. The in vitro measurement of leptin discharged from the slow-release PLGA film yields substantial release of leptin antagonist for at least two weeks.

Example 6

Preparation of Two-Component Gelling Sustained-release gel composition

[0292] A first component of the composition is an aqueous solution of modified carboxymethyl cellulose with adipic dihydrazide (CMC-ADH). Dried and finely ground sustained-release gel with leptin antagonist as described in Example 1 is added to the CMC-ADH solution and vortexed to yield a suspension.

[0293] A second component of the composition is oxidized dextrane in DDW (DX-COH). A dye such as methylene blue (0.5%) is optionally added to the DX-COH solution to make the resulting gel more visible.

[0294] For use the two components are mixed together to form a viscous fluid that is immediately administered by injection. In a short time, the viscous fluid gels.

Example 7

Covered Stents

[0295] A stent cover is fashioned from the PLGA film of Example 4.

[0296] The stent cover is used to cover the balloon expandable stents of a MULTI-LINK 8 LL coronary stent system, a MULTI-LINK ULTRA coronary stent system and a MULTI-LINK MINI VISION coronary stent system (all of Abbot Laboratories, Abbot Park, Ill., USA).

[0297] The graft (stent cover) portion of an Endurant II AAA Stent Graft System (Medtronic, Dublin, Ireland) is impregnated with a leptin antagonist. In one example, impregnation is by immersion in a first component of the composition of Example 3, followed by contact with contact with the second component thereof.

[0298] The stent cover is used as an external cover for a self expanding WallFlex Stent (Boston Scientific Corporation, Natick, Mass., USA).

[0299] The covered stents are deployed in the usual way inside the lumen of a blood vessel of a living subject in need thereof. Once implanted, the leptin antagonist elutes from the stent cover through the blood vessel endothelium into the blood vessel to exert a desired pharmaceutical effect.

Example 8

Drug-Eluting Stent

[0300] An XIENCE Alpine coronary stent system (Abbot Laboratories, Abbot Park, Ill., USA) is prepared in the usual way, but impregnated with a leptin antagonist as an active pharmaceutical ingredient instead of Everolimus.

[0301] The resulting drug-eluting stent is deployed in the usual way inside the lumen of a blood vessel of a living subject in need thereof. Once implanted, the leptin antagonist elutes from the stent through the blood vessel endothelium into the blood vessel to exert a desired pharmaceutical effect.

Example 9

Bioresorbable Stent

[0302] A bioresorbable balloon-expandable stent is fashioned of bioresorbable polylactide (PLA) comprising a leptin antagonist, substantially as done to fashion a bioresorbable stent by Arterial Remodeling Technologies (Paris, France).

[0303] A bioresorbable balloon-expandable stent is fashioned of bioresorbable poly (L-lactide) (PLLA) including a leptin antagonist, substantially as done to fashion an Absorb GTI vascular scaffold stent.

[0304] The resulting bioresorbable stents are deployed in the usual way inside the lumen of a blood vessel of a living subject in need thereof. Once implanted, the leptin antagonist elutes from the stents as these resorb, to pass through the blood vessel endothelium into the blood vessel to exert a desired pharmaceutical effect.

Example 10

Spike or Rod

[0305] An implantable spike or rod (bioresorbable or not) is made as known in the art, for example as described above with reference to the stents and includes leptin antagonist integrated into the material of the spike or rod, or adsorbed, absorbed or coated onto the spike or rod.

[0306] The resulting spike or rod is implanted, the leptin antagonist elutes from the spike or rod, to exert a desired pharmaceutical effect or the organ.

Example 11

Injectable Gel

[0307] The two components of the composition of Example 3 are provided. The components are mixed together and implanted in the body of the subject by injection into or onto an organ to form a gelled mass in or on the organ.

[0308] Once implanted, the leptin antagonist elutes from the gelled mass, to exert desired pharmaceutical effect on the organ.

Example 12

Sheet

[0309] A sheet of the film of Example 1 is provided. The sheet is placed against the outer surface of an organ (e.g., aorta, for example, ascending aorta, aortic arch, descending aorta, abdominal aorta) and optionally held in place by sutures and/or biological glue (e.g., Evicel.RTM.

[0310] Once implanted, the leptin antagonist elutes from the film, to exert a desired pharmaceutical effect the organ.

Example 13

Treatment of AAA

[0311] A human subject is diagnosed with an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).

[0312] A composition according to the teachings herein in the form of a long sheet such as described in Example 12 (a ribbon) comprising leptin antagonist is provided. The abdominal aorta of the subject is surgically accessed from the outside (e.g., using keyhole surgery and the composition administered by winding the long sheet around the abdominal aorta to wrap the entire aneurysm as well as a portion of the aorta above and below the aneurysm, and held in place with a biological glue and/or sutures. Optionally, a stent graft (e.g., an Endurant.RTM. II AAA Stent Graft System (Medtronic, Dublin, Ireland)) is deployed in the aneurysm in the usual way, before or after administration of the composition. Subsequently, leptin antagonist from the composition passes through the tunica externa to provide a beneficial effect to the subject,

[0313] Alternatively or additionally, an AAA stent graft is provided that is similar to known AAA stent grafts (e.g., similar to an Endurant.RTM. II AAA Stent Graft System (Medtronic, Dublin, Ireland)) where at least one of: the graft and/or anchoring stents are a composition of the teachings herein and comprises a leptin antagonist; at least the anchoring portions of the graft and/or anchoring stents are impregnated with a composition of the teachings herein that comprises a leptin antagonist; and at least the anchoring portions of the graft and/or anchoring stents are coated with a composition of the teachings herein that comprises a leptin antagonist. The stent-graft is deployed in the usual way in the abdominal aneurysm, that is to say, where the anchoring stents are expanded against healthy portions of tunica intima above and below the aneurysm. Subsequently, leptin antagonist from the composition passes through the tunica intima to provide a beneficial effect to the subject, for example, preventing or reducing the extent that the aneurysm spreads to portions of tissue in proximity of the anchoring stents, thereby preventing loosening of the anchoring stents.

[0314] Alternatively or additionally, a drug-eluting balloon similar to the In.Pact Admiral.RTM. DCB drug-coated balloon by Medtronic (Dublin, Ireland) that is coated with a composition comprising leptin antagonist according to the teachings herein is introduced through the femoral arteries and advanced to areas of the abdominal and iliac arteries that are just above and just below the aneurysm (for example, "landing zones" where anchoring stents of a stent-graft would be deployed. The balloon is expanded to contact the aorta and iliac walls, thereby administering composition to the healthy tissue and preventing advancement of the aneurysm. In some such embodiments, the administration of leptin antagonist is repeated periodically, e.g., with a frequency that is less than once a month, less than once every two months and even less than once every 3 months. In some such embodiments, the administration of the leptin antagonist leads to stabilization of the wall tissue, halting the processes of aneurysm formation at the portions of the blood vessels above and below the aneurysm and at the portions of the blood vessel in contact with the deployed stent graft.

Example 14

Treatment of Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm

[0315] A human subject is diagnosed with an aneurysm in the thoracic aorta, including one or more of the ascending aorta, aortic arch and descending aorta. It is known that segmental increased stiffness and aortic dilatation cause local aneurysm formation. These structural changes underlie hemodynamic perturbation, which increases left ventricular afterload. This results in left ventricular remodeling, including left ventricular hypertrophy, and thickening of the aortic and mitral valve leaflets. Left ventricular hypertrophy may lead to heart failure, and aortic valve remodeling may progress to the full clinical presentation of aortic valve stenosis.

[0316] A composition according to the teachings herein the form of a patch such as described in Example 12 comprising leptin antagonist is provided. The thoracic aorta of the subject is surgically accessed from the outside (e.g., using thorascopy) and the composition administered by contacting the outer surface of the affected portions of the aorta with the patch, and optionally holding the patch in place with a biological glue and/or sutures. Optionally, in cases of dilated ascending aorta beyond the sinuses of valsalva (preserved aortic valve annulus diameter) a drug eluting stent graft impregnated with leptin antagonist is deployed in the aneurysm in the usual way, without oversizing.

[0317] Another shape of intra-vascular device that may be deployed within an aortic aneurysm is a tubular self-expandable biodegradable (or non-degradable, like bare metal) leptin antagonist slow release mesh or stent. Such a device may self-expand upon deployment, and gently adhere to the luminal surface of the aortic aneurysm (applying minimal radial force to the luminal surface). Leptin antagonist that is associated with, e.g., incorporated within the biodegradable or non-degradable struts of the mesh or stent or covered or coated onto the mesh or stent, will access the aortic wall at the aneurysm by local diffusion. Yet another shape of a device for proximity and local slow release of leptin antagonist at the luminal surface of aortic or peripheral aneurysm will be a single wire (biodegradable or bare metal) possessing the memory of spiral expansion within the aneurysm cavity. The leptin antagonist incorporated within this wire will diffuse into the arterial wall. Subsequently, leptin antagonist from the composition passes into the tissue to provide a beneficial effect to the subject, in some embodiments one or more of attenuate aneurysm progression, stabilize the vessel wall and prevent rupture or dissection of the aneurysm. In some embodiments of treatment of the ascending aorta, the administration of the leptin antagonist also leads to reducing the rate of development, or stopping the development and in some embodiments, reversing the remodeling of parts of the heart.

Example 15

Angioplasty

[0318] A human subject is diagnosed with arterial stenosis that is treatable by angioplasty.

[0319] A drug-eluting balloon similar to the In.Pact Admiral.RTM. DCB drug-coated balloon by Medtronic (Dublin, Ireland) that is coated with a composition comprising leptin antagonist according to the teachings herein is used in the usual way to perform the angioplasty procedure, for example, at sites of arterial bifurcations and in-stent stenoses. At least some of the composition according to the teachings herein that coats the balloon is administered to the surface of the treated blood vessel, thereby administering a composition according to the teachings herein. In some such embodiments, the administration of leptin antagonist is repeated periodically, e.g., with a frequency that is less than once a month, less than once every two months and even less than once every 3 months, even when there is no express need for repeated angioplasty. Subsequently, leptin antagonist from the composition passes into and/or through the lesion and/or tunica intima to provide a beneficial effect to the subject.

[0320] Alternatively or additionally, at least one of:

[0321] a composition according to the teachings herein in the form of a stent;

[0322] a stent impregnated with a composition according to the teachings herein;

[0323] a stent coated with a composition according to the teachings herein;

[0324] a composition according to the teachings herein in the form of a stent cover;

[0325] a stent cover impregnated with a composition according to the teachings herein; and

[0326] a stent cover coated with a composition according to the teachings herein;

[0327] is deployed in the usual way, e.g., during performance of an angioplasty procedure, thereby administering a composition according to the teachings herein. Subsequently, leptin antagonist from the administered composition passes into and/or through the lesion and/or tunica intima to provide a beneficial effect to the subject.

Example 16

Myocardial Infarction

[0328] Myocardial infarction causes left ventricular remodeling, leading to progressive impairment of cardiac function. A human subject is diagnosed with an acute myocardial infarction and is treated in the usual way, for example coronary catheterization for primary revascularization and myocardial salvage. A treating health-care professional identifies that the subject has an elevated risk of developing cardiac dysfunction.

[0329] A composition comprising leptin antagonist is administered to the ascending aorta as described in the preceding examples using one or more of a drug-eluting balloon, a stent, a covered stent and a stent graft. Subsequently, leptin antagonist from the administered composition passes into and/or through the tunica intima of the aorta to provide a beneficial effect to the subject. In some embodiments, the beneficial effect is prophylactic, preventing development of or reducing the rate of development of an thoracic aortic aneurysm, and/or remodeling of the heart (in particular the left ventricle and associated valves) and/or a recurring infarction. Without wishing to be held to any one theory, it is currently believed that such administration of a leptin antagonist in the ascending aorta reduces angiotensin II synthesis in the left ventricle, thereby moderating the hypertrophy response to the ischemic insult associated with the acute myocardial infarction suffered by the subject.

Example 16--A

Post Myocardial Ischemia (MI) Therapy

[0330] In order to minimize the extent of post MI left ventricular remodeling, a bolus of leptin antagonist in aqueous solution may be administered into the involved coronary artery. The following strategy may be exercised for acute MI patients: Patients who sustain acute MI are most frequently admitted through the catheterization lab, to undergo coronary catheterization and primary PTCA (Percutaneous Transarterial Coronary Angioplasty) for primary revascularization. Once blood-flow is re-established in the coronary artery involved, a bolus of leptin antagonist in an aqueous solution is to be infected into the coronary artery through the catheter, afterwhich the catheter will be withdrawn. This new strategy should achieve local distribution of leptin antagonist within the left ventricular heart muscle cells (cardiomyocytes) that were exposed to the ischemic as well as reperfusion insult. Inhibition of cardiomyocyte leptin activity is anticipated to mitigate left ventricular remodeling, and reduce the damage to left ventricular function.

Experimentally induced controlled myocardial ischemia may be achieved by temporary balloon inflation within the proximal left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery. Leptin antagonist aqueous solution may be injected into the LAD after balloon deflation. Control group may receive intracoronary bolus of saline injection. An intravascular injection of leptin antagonist may be provided into the treated coronary artery after it has been reopened and blood flow to the ischemic myocardium is restored, in order to prevent post MI left ventricular remodeling. Leptin antagonist may be administered by intravascular injection into a vascular territory that sustained ischemia and reperfusion injury. This injection is a localized injection to a specific section of the left ventricle and does not constituted a systemic treatment.

Example 17

Myointimal Hyperplasia (MIH)

[0331] It is know that trauma to a blood vessel may lead to myointimal hyperplasia (MIH), where medial smooth muscle cells undergo uncontrolled proliferation that may lead to stenosis or restenosis of the blood vessel in the area of the trauma. Such trauma include vascular injury caused by expansion of a blood vessel during angioplasty, stent deployment, stent-graft deployment, as a result of surgical anastomosis and associated suturing, clamping of blood vessels, and as a result of blunt and/or penetrating vascular injury.

[0332] A health-care professional identifies that a subject has an elevated risk of developing myointimal hyperplasia due to some vascular trauma, administers a composition comprising leptin antagonist according to the teachings herein to the site of the trauma. The administered leptin antagonist reduces the rate or stops the uncontrolled proliferation of cells, reducing the rate of development or preventing MIH. Administration includes the use of any of the compositions according to the teachings herein, including localized administration of a leptin antagonist composition on the outer surface of the blood vessel at the site of injury during surgery (e.g., application of a film of Example 4 as a patch), intravascular administration using a drug eluting balloon, or by administration of a composition that impregnates or coats a medical device, or a composition that is in the shape of a medical device by deploying the medical device. In some embodiments, specific suitable medical devices include intracavitary devices such as a stent cover, a stent, a graft assembly, a ring, a suture and a prosthetic cardiac valve as well as extraluminal devices such as sheets, all such comprising leptin antagonist according to the teachings herein.

Example 18

Treatment of Aneurysm

[0333] A human subject is diagnosed with a peripheral or venous aneurysm, e.g., a visceral artery aneurysm, a cerebral aneurysm, especially a saccular or pseudo-fusiform aneurysm.

[0334] A composition according to the teachings herein associated with a covered stent is provided, e.g., one or more of coating the stent, coating the stent cover, impregnating the stent, impregnating the stent cover, constituting the stent and constituting the stent cover. The covered stent is deployed in the usual way, where the stent cover covers the mouth of the stent. Subsequently, leptin antagonist from the composition passes into and/or through the tissue in proximity to the aneurysm to provide a beneficial effect to the subject.

[0335] Alternatively or additionally, a composition according to the teachings herein is placed inside the cavity of the aneurysm through the mouth thereof, e.g., as a fluid composition (e.g., Example 6) or as an aneurysm coil that is impregnated with leptin antagonist, coated with leptin antagonist or is made of a composition according to the teachings herein. A person having ordinary skill in the art is able to implement coating an aneurysm coil with an active pharmaceutical ingredient with reference to, for example, Cerectye.RTM. (Codman Neuro, a division of DePuySynthes, part of Johnson & Johnson, New Brunswick, N.J., USA), Nexus.RTM. (Micro Therapeutics, Inc., Irvine, Calif., USA), and HydroCoil.RTM., HydroSoft.RTM. (Terumo Corporation, Tokyo, Japan). Subsequently, leptin antagonist from the composition passes into the cavity of the aneurysm, and subsequently to affected tissue to provide a beneficial effect to the subject.

Example 19

Treatment of Aneurysm

[0336] A human subject is diagnosed with an aneurysm, e.g., aortic aneurysms, which are typically related to a variety of diseases associated with angiotensin II hormonal activity. Also peripheral arterial aneurysms, which affect visceral, carotid, peripheral, and cerebral arteries, as well as venous aneurysms, including pulmonary artery (which carries venous blood) may be diagnosed.

[0337] A leptin antagonist eluting stent or scaffold may be provided, e.g., intravascular stent or scaffold device (which may or may not be biodegradable) covered or coated with leptin antagonist, available for slow release into the vessel wall locally, thereby attenuating aortic aneurysm progression. A stent-graft destined for treatment of aortic aneurysm may be provided, covered or coated with leptin antagonist available for slow release into the vessel wall at the specific sites of stent-graft attachment to non-dilated (normal) proximal and distal vessel (landing zones). In some embodiments, a stent-like prosthetic heart valve for intravascular application, covered with leptin antagonist may be provided, to prevent local dilation of the hosting tissue ring.

Example 20

Treatment of Vascular Injury

[0338] A human subject may be exposed to localized vascular injury which may occur as a result of vascular surgery, local balloon angioplasty. This may cause local arterial narrowing due to smooth muscle cell proliferation, namely myointimal hyperplasia (MIH). This proliferative response may also occur at arterio-venous anastomosis or graft-arterial anastomosis, and in leptin-induced inflammatory and cellular proliferative arterial disease (e.g., Takayasu disease). In order to prevent local arterial narrowing due to cellular proliferation at the sites of vascular injury, and circumstances as described above, an intravascular stent or scaffold device may be provided, (which may or may not be biodegradable) which may be associated with, e.g., covered or coated with leptin antagonist that is available for slow release into the vessel wall.

Example 21

Treatment of Atherosclerotic Plaques

[0339] A human subject is diagnosed with atherosclerotic plaques. These lesions frequently undergo transformation from a stable plaque into an unstable rupture-prone lesion. An intravascular stent or scaffold device (which may or may not be biodegradable) covered with leptin antagonist that is available for slow release into the vessel wall may be provided, in order to provide vessel stabilization. Deployment of such a stent or scaffold device may apply to any arterial site.

Example 22

Treatment of Left Heart Failure and Aortic Valve Disease

[0340] Patients who are diagnosed as hypertensive and hypercholestrolemic and exhibit initial dilation of the ascending aorta may be treated by positioning an intravascular stent or scaffold device at the ascending aorta. The stent or scaffold device may or may not be biodegradable. The device, may be associated with, e.g., covered or coated with leptin antagonist that is available for slow release into the vessel wall, may control left heart failure and attenuate the progression of aortic and mitral valve disease.

[0341] The intravascular stent or scaffold device carrying or covered with leptin antagonist, may be positioned intra-luminally at the ascending aorta. Such a stent or scaffold device may attenuate local dilation and stiffening thereby prevent local hemodynamic perturbation, which activate the aorto-ventricular coupling. This coupling, when turned on promotes the production and release of angiotensin II from left ventricular cells (cardiomyocytes). Angiotensin II drives intracellular synthesis of leptin in cardiomyocytes and in aortic valve interstitial cells (VICs). Leptin synthesis in cardiomyocytes and VICs contributes to left ventricular hypertrophy, and aortic/mitral valve thickening, respectively. Therefore, deactivation of the aorto-ventricular coupling will control both left ventricular hypertrophy (heart failure) and also attenuate the progression of aortic/mitral valve disease.

Claims

1. A method of treating a cardiovascular disorder comprising: locally administering a leptin antagonist to a cardiovascular tissue affected by said cardiovascular disorder for down-regulating an expression or activity of leptin in said cardiovascular tissue, wherein said leptin antagonist is a modified mammalian leptin peptide capable of binding a leptin receptor.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein said leptin antagonist is selected from the group consisting of (a) a modified mammalian leptin peptide comprising a mammalian leptin polypeptide in which the LDFI hydrophobic binding site at the positions corresponding to positions 39-42 of the wild-type human leptin (SEQ ID NO:1) is modified such that from two to four amino acid residues of said hydrophobic binding site are substituted with different amino acid residues such that the site becomes less hydrophobic; (b) the modified mammalian leptin polypeptide according to (a) in which the aspartic acid at the position corresponding to position 23 od the wild-type human leptin (D23) is substituted with an amino acid residue selected from the group consisting of glycine, alanine, leucine, lysine, arginine, phenylalanine, tryptophan and histidine, or in which the threonine at the position corresponding to position 12 of the wild-type human leptin (T12) is substituted with a different amino acid residue that is hydrophobic; and (c) a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of (a) or (b).

3. The method of claim 1, wherein said leptin antagonist wherein said modified mammalian leptin peptide is of an amino acid sequence selected from SEQ ID NOs: 3-10, 36 and 38

4. The method of claim 1, wherein said cardiovascular disorder is characterized by tissue remodeling.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein said cardiovascular disorder is selected from the group consisting of vascular aneurysm, aortic aneurysm, atherosclerotic plaques, left ventricular remodeling, myocardial infarction, myointimal hyperplasia, vascular injury, left heart failure and aortic or mitral valve disease.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein said cardiovascular disorder is selected from the group consisting of cardiovascular disease; remodeling of stable athersclerotic plaque into an unstable lesion; ascending aortic aneurysm associated with hypertension, dyslipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, obesity, diabetes mellitus or bicuspid aortic valve; Takayasu disease; rheumatoid arteritis; giant cell arteritis; inflammatory aortic aneurysm; thoracic aortic aneurysm; abdominal aortic aneurysm; aortic aneurysm and/or pulmonary artery aneurysm in Marfan syndrome; aortic dissection in an aortic or peripheral large artery; angiogenesis; and arteriovenous malformation.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein said cardiovascular tissue is arterial or venous wall tissue.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein said cardiovascular tissue is aortic and/or mitral heart valve leaflet tissue.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein said cardiovascular tissue is an inner (luminal) surface of an aorta or an outer wall of an aorta, within or on the surface of a vascular organ.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein said locally administrating is effected by means of a carrier configured for localized release of said leptin antagonist.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein said locally administrating is effected via direct injection.

12. The method of claim 10, wherein said carrier is a solid, gel or liquid carrier.

13. The method of claim 10, wherein said carrier comprises a biodegradable support.

14. The method of claim 10, wherein said carrier is configured as a film.

15. The method of claim 10, wherein said carrier is a device selected from the group consisting of a gel, mesh, a balloon and a vascular graft.

16. The method of claim 10, wherein said carrier is a depot-forming injectable composition.

17. The method of claim 10, wherein said carrier is a scaffold configured for slow release and said cardiovascular tissue is the luminal surface of an aorta, and wherein said scaffold for slow release is applied to said luminal surface of the aorta via arterial catheterization.

18. The method of claim 17, wherein said scaffold is biodegradable.

19. The method of claim 1, wherein said locally administrating is effected intracavitarily.
