Discovery of a CXCR4 agonist pepducin that mobilizes bone marrow hematopoietic cells.

ABSTRACT: The G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), chemokine CXC-type receptor 4 (CXCR4), and its ligand, CXCL12, mediate the retention of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) and hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) in the bone marrow. Agents that disrupt CXCL12-mediated chemoattraction of CXCR4-expressing cells mobilize PMNs and HSPCs into the peripheral circulation and are therapeutically useful for HSPC collection before autologous bone marrow transplantation (ABMT). Our aim was to develop unique CXCR4-targeted therapeutics using lipopeptide GPCR modulators called pepducins. A pepducin is a synthetic molecule composed of a peptide derived from the amino acid sequence of one of the intracellular (IC) loops of a target GPCR coupled to a lipid tether. We prepared and screened a small CXCR4-targeted pepducin library and identified several pepducins with in vitro agonist activity, including ATI-2341, whose peptide sequence derives from the first IC loop. ATI-2341 induced CXCR4- and G protein-dependent signaling, receptor internalization, and chemotaxis in CXCR4-expressing cells. It also induced dose-dependent peritoneal recruitment of PMNs when administered i.p. to mice. However, when administered systemically by i.v. bolus, ATI-2341 acted as a functional antagonist and dose-dependently mediated release of PMNs from the bone marrow of both mice and cynomolgus monkeys. ATI-2341-mediated release of granulocyte/macrophage progenitor cells from the bone marrow was confirmed by colony-forming assays. We conclude that ATI-2341 is a potent and efficacious mobilizer of bone marrow PMNs and HSPCs and could represent a previously undescribed therapeutic approach for the recruitment of HSPCs before ABMT.

Project description:Thiele2013 - Bone marrow hematopoietic cells The model of bone marrow hematopoietic cells metabolism is derived from the community-driven global reconstruction of human metabolism (version 2.02, MODEL1109130000 ). This model is described in the article: A community-driven global reconstruction of human metabolism. Thiele I, et al . Nature Biotechnology Abstract: Multiple models of human metabolism have been reconstructed, but each represents only a subset of our knowledge. Here we describe Recon 2, a community-driven, consensus 'metabolic reconstruction', which is the most comprehensive representation of human metabolism that is applicable to computational modeling. Compared with its predecessors, the reconstruction has improved topological and functional features, including ~2x more reactions and ~1.7x more unique metabolites. Using Recon 2 we predicted changes in metabolite biomarkers for 49 inborn errors of metabolism with 77% accuracy when compared to experimental data. Mapping metabolomic data and drug information onto Recon 2 demonstrates its potential for integrating and analyzing diverse data types. Using protein expression data, we automatically generated a compendium of 65 cell type-specific models, providing a basis for manual curation or investigation of cell-specific metabolic properties. Recon 2 will facilitate many future biomedical studies and is freely available at http://humanmetabolism.org/. This model is hosted on BioModels Database and identified by: MODEL1310110030 .
