Presented by Gordon Holt, Ph.D. at the Nonclinical Studies Subcommittee of the Advisory Committee for Pharmaceutical Science March 9, 2000
Challenges for Proteomics Validation • Problem Solution • Sample variability Process validation • Low sensitivity Immunoaffinity enrichment Subcellular fractionation Fluorescent dyes Imaging • Gel variability Process validation Image warping • Low throughput Robotics • Data analysis overload LIMS management
Comparison of Microexpression Analyses Genomics Proteomics Coverage per run All genes 2000 features Sensitivity limits 1 mol./cell 100 mol./cell Protein modifications No Yes Subcellular localization No Yes Subunits / Complexes No Yes Clinical samples No Yes
Identification of Cardiotoxicity and Vasculitis Surrogate Markers Work done in collaboration with Frank Sistare CDER FDA
Investigation of Doxorubicin-Induced Toxicity Doxorubicin (Dxr) background • commonly used anticancer agent • effective against childhood leukemia • causes dose-related cardiotoxicity • precise toxicity mechanism unknown • metal ions appear to be important • metal chelation by ICRF-187 provides significant chemoprotection >> Can proteomics identify clinicallyrelevant early markers of cardiotoxicity?
Doxorubicin cardiotoxicity study design • Three rats per group • 1 mg/kg doxorubicin per week • Treat for 7 weeks • Sacrifice animals 24 hrs after last dose • Proteomic analyses of plasma • OGS plasma sample SOP • serum enrichment applied
Detection of disease-specific proteinsin serum, CSF, synovial fluid Limitation : High-abundance proteins limit sensitivity - albumin - haptoglobin - IgG - transferrin Solution : Immunoaffinity enrichment protocol

RosettaTM Analyses • Preliminary study performed on 18 PEMs • one PEM per plasma sample from each rat • approx. 1800 features in master group • 32,400 features screened • High-stringency marker selection criteria • 98% marker confidence • 100% marker incidence on PEMs from given group of three rats

Summary of results • 34 Dxr treatment markers identified • magnitude up to 28.1-fold >> may be clinically useful Dxr toxicity markers • Most Dxr markers normalized by ICRF co-treatment • 29 fully normalized • 5 partially normalized >> supports ICRF’s protection against Dxr toxicity
Dxr Cardiotoxicity - Preliminary Annotations • Lipid metabolism - liposome formation • Immune surveillance - complement fixation • Wound healing - scar formation - protease inhibition • Anti-oxidant metabolism - metal scavenging
Vasculitis study design & status • Three rats per group • 100 mg/kg SKF 95654 • Treat for 1, 2, 4, 24 hours • Histology completed • Proteomic analyses of plasma • OGS plasma sample SOP • serum enrichment applied • PEMs run • differential analysis underway
Identification of Nephrotoxicity Surrogate Markers Work done in collaboration with Quintiles UK
Gentamicin Background • Parenteral aminoglycoside active against gram-negative bacteria • Clinical important toxicity - potential for irreversible cumulative ototoxicity (manifest as hearing loss - initially of high frequencies) and vestibular damage • Reversible nephrotoxicity may occur and acute renal failure reported • Therapeutic index - individual monitoring of plasma concentrations generally required
7 Days of treatment followed by 14 day recovery period Route of administration: intravenous Dose levels: 0, 0.1, 1, 10, 40, 60 mg/kg/day Group size: 10 male rats per treated group, 20 male rats in control group Blood and urine samples: 2, 3 and 8 days Blood Parameters: BUN, creatinine Urine parameters: NAG, ALP, GGT, volume, specific gravity Renal histopathology: standard Proteome samples: 420 Study Protocol
Serum Proteomics • Immunoaffinity enrichment • 30 images • 2,580 MCIs • 21,001 features
