Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

This invention is in the field of IGF-1 modifications. In particular, it relates to modified IGF-polypeptides and modified IGF-1 precursor polypeptides wherein the cleavage of E-peptide is prevented. The invention also relates to the use of such polypeptides for treating muscle diseases and disorders.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A polypeptide comprising a human IGF-1 protein variant of SEQ ID NO: 1 wherein the amino acid glycine at position 42 is mutated to serine. 2. The polypeptide of claim 1 , wherein the human IGF-1 protein variant is fused to an immunoglobulin Fc region of a human IgG, optionally by a peptide hinge region. 3. The polypeptide of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide is glycosylated. 4. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the polypeptide of claim 1 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. 5. A polypeptide comprising a human IGF-1 protein variant of SEQ ID NO: 1 wherein the human IGF-1 protein variant has the following modifications: a. amino acid E3 is deleted, b. amino acid G42 is mutated to serine, and c. amino acid R37 is mutated to alanine. 6. A polypeptide comprising a human IGF-1 protein variant of SEQ ID NO: 1 wherein the human IGF-1 protein variant comprises the following modifications: a. amino acids G1, P2, E3 are deleted; b. amino acid G42 is mutated to serine; c. amino acid R36 is mutated to glutamine; and d. amino acid R37 is mutated to alanine. 7. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the polypeptide of claim 6 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. 8. The polypeptide of claim 6 , wherein the human IGF-1 protein variant is fused to an immunoglobulin Fc region of a human IgG, optionally by a peptide hinge region. 9. A polypeptide comprising a human IGF-1 protein variant of SEQ ID NO: 1 wherein the human IGF-1 protein variant comprises the following modifications: a. amino acids G1, P2, E3 are deleted, b. amino acid G42 is mutated to serine, and c. amino acid R37 is mutated to alanine. 10. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the polypeptide of claim 9 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. 11. The polypeptide of claim 9 , wherein the human IGF-1 protein variant is fused to an immunoglobulin Fc region of a human IgG, optionally by a peptide hinge region. 12. A polypeptide comprising a human IGF-1 protein variant of SEQ ID NO: 1 wherein the amino acid G42 is substituted by the amino acid serine and wherein the amino acid(s): (a) G1, P2, E3 are deleted and amino acid R36 is substituted or deleted; or (b) G1, P2, E3 are deleted and amino acid R36 is substituted by glutamine (Q); or (c) G1, P2, E3 are deleted and amino acid R37 is substituted or deleted; or (d) G1, P2, E3 are deleted and amino acid R37 is substituted by glutamic acid (E); or (e) G1, P2, E3 are deleted and amino acid R37 is substituted by alanine; or (f) G1, P2, E3 are deleted and amino acid R37 is substituted by proline (P); or (g) G1, P2, E3 are deleted and amino acids R36 and R37 are substituted or deleted; or (h) G1, P2, E3 are deleted and amino acid R36 and R37 are both substituted by glutamine (Q); or (i) G1, P2, E3 are deleted, amino acid R36 is substituted by glutamine (Q) and R37 is substituted by alanine. 13. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the polypeptide of claim 12 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. 14. The polypeptide of claim 12 , wherein the human IGF-1 protein variant is fused to an immunoglobulin Fc region of a human IgG, optionally by a peptide hinge region.
