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.
