We compared the pharmacological properties of μOR-T4L to those of the wild-type receptor (
The μOR-T4L construct was expressed in Sf9 cells using the baculovirus system. Culture media was supplemented with 10 μM naloxone to stabilize the receptor during expression. Cells were infected at a density of 4×106 cells per mL and culture flasks were shaken at 27 °C for 48 hr. After harvesting, cells were lysed by osmotic shock in a buffer comprised of 10mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 1mM EDTA, 100 µM TCEP, 1 µM naloxone, and 2 mg/ml iodoacetamide to block reactive cysteines. Extraction of μOR-T4L from Sf9 membranes was done with a Dounce homogenizer in a solubilization buffer comprised of 0.5% dodecyl maltoside (DDM), 0.3% 3-[(3-Cholamidopropyl) dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS), 0.03% cholesterol hemisuccinate (CHS), 20 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 0.5 M NaCl, 30% v/v glycerol, 2 mg/ml iodoacetamide, 100 μM TCEP, and 1 µM naloxone. After centrifugation, nickel-NTA agarose was added to the supernatant, stirred for two hours, and then washed in batch with 100 × g spins for 5 min each with a washing buffer of 0.1% DDM, 0.03% CHAPS, 0.01% CHS, 20 mM HEPES pH 7.5 and 0.5 M NaCl. The resin was poured into a glass column and bound receptor was eluted in washing buffer supplemented with 300 mM imidazole.
We utilized anti-FLAG M1 affinity resin to further purify μOR-T4L and to exchange the ligand to the covalent antagonist β-funaltrexamine (β-FNA). Nickel-resin eluate was loaded onto anti-FLAG M1 resin and washed extensively in the presence of 10 µM β-FNA. The detergent DDM was then gradually exchanged over 1 hr into a buffer with 0.01% lauryl maltose neopentyl glycol (MNG) and the NaCl concentration was lowered to 100 mM. Receptor was eluted from the anti-FLAG M1 affinity resin with 0.2 mg/mL FLAG peptide and 5 mM EDTA in the presence of 1 µM β-FNA. To remove the amino terminus of μOR-T4L, TEV protease was added at 1:3 w/w (TEV:μOR-T4L) and incubated at room temperature for 1 hr. Receptor was then treated with carboxypeptidase A (1:100 w/w) and incubated overnight at 4°C to remove the octa-histidine tag. The final purification step separated TEV and carboxypeptidase A from receptor by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) on a Sephadex S200 column (GE Healthcare) in a buffer of 0.01% MNG, 0.001% CHS, 100 mM NaCl, 20 mM HEPES pH 7.5, and 1 µM β-FNA. After size exclusion, β-FNA was added to a final concentration of 10 µM. The resulting receptor preparation was pure and monodisperse (

Net Cl− efflux was similarly followed with Ag/AgCl electrodes in a stirred cell temperature-controlled to 25°C. Electrodes were constructed from silver wire cleaned overnight in concentrated HNO3 and coated with AgCl by immersion in Clorox bleach or 0.1 M FeCl3 solution. Liposomes reconstituted with 0.03–4 μg/mg CLC-ec1, and loaded with 300 mM KCl, 25 mM citrate-NaOH, pH 4.5, were extruded and centrifuged through Sephadex G-50 equilibrated in Cl− dump-buffer (CDB), 300 mM K-isethionate, 1 mM KCl, 25 mM citrate, pH 4.5. The sample containing 1.2 mg lipid was added, and KCl efflux was evoked by Vln/FCCP. After 1–3 min, 50 mM octylglucoside detergent was added to release all trapped Cl−. The electrode voltage signal, V(t), zeroed before initiating the efflux, was converted to the increase in Cl− concentration, Δc(t), above the initial concentration c(0) by: and α, an electrode-imperfection factor (of unknown origin) determined by calibrating with 75 μM Cl− at the beginning of each experiment, falls in the range 0.93 ± 0.03. This time course was fit to a two-component relaxation, one for the fraction (1 − fo) of liposomes containing transporters, the other for the fraction (fo) devoid of protein: where ΔcT, the total concentration of Cl− released in the experiment (determined directly by detergent addition), typically reflects an increase of 0.15–0.2 mM over the 1 mM Cl− present before the efflux. Here, kt and kL are the rate constants for Cl− flux through the transporter and for the background leak through the liposome membrane, respectively. This background leak was measured in separate experiments on protein-free liposomes to be 5.7 ± 0.5 × 10−4 s−1, typically 50-fold lower than the transporter-mediated rate constant. For reasons explained in the text, we report the inverse of kt as the useful transporter-mediated kinetic parameter, denoted the “average time constant,” 〈τ〉. Experiments were temperature controlled at 25°C.
The RPB1 fragment was amplified using the primer pair RPB1-F1843 and R3096, and RPB1-R2623 was occasionally used as an internal primer for sequencing. A part of the RPB2 locus was amplified using the primer pair RPB2-5F and RPB2-7CR (Liu et al. 1999 (link)) or the primer pair RPB2-5F_Eur and RPB2-7CR_Eur. The internal sequencing primers RPB2-F311 and RPB2-R310 were occasionally used when poor results were obtained with the regular forward and reverse primers. Amplification of a part of the Cct8 gene was performed using the primer pair Cct8-F660 and Cct8-R1595. No amplicons could be obtained in the case of 5–10 % of the analysed strains. In those cases, amplicons were generated using the primer pair Cct8-R1595 and Cct8-F94.

The PCR reactions were performed in 25 μL reaction mixtures containing 1 μL genomic DNA 2.5 μL PCR buffer, 0.75 μL MgCl2 (50 mM), 16.55 μL demineralised sterile water, 1.85 μL dNTP (1 mM), 0.50 μL of each primer (100 mM) and 0.1 μL Taq polymerase (5 U/μL, BioTaq, Bioline). The PCR program typically was: 5 cycles of 30 s denaturation at 94 °C, followed by primer annealing for 30 s at 51 °C, and extension for 1 min at 72 °C; followed by 5 cycles with an annealing temperature at 49 °C and 30 cycles at 47 °C, finalised with an extension for final 10 min at 72 °C. Excess primers and dNTP's were removed from the PCR product using the QIAQuick PCR purification kit (Qiagen). Purified PCR fragments were resuspended in 30–50 μL of water. PCR products were sequenced directly in both directions with the same primers and DYEnamic ET Terminator Cycle Sequencing Kit (Amersham Bioscience, Roosendaal, The Netherlands). The cycle sequencing reaction mixture had a total reaction volume of 10 μL, and contained 1 μL of template DNA, 0.85 μL BigDye reagent, 3 μL buffer, 4.75 μL demineralised water and 0.4 μL primer (10 mM).
Sequencing products were purified according to the manufacturers' recommendations with Sephadex G-50 superfine columns (Amersham Bioscience, Roosendaal, The Netherlands) in a multiscreen HV plate (Millipore, Amsterdam, The Netherlands) and with MicroAmp Optical 96-well reaction plate (AB Applied Biosystems, Nieuwerkerk a/d Yssel, The Netherlands). Contigs were assembled using the forward and reverse sequences with the programme SeqMan from the LaserGene package (DNAStar Inc., Madison, WI).

Example 1
Initial evaluation of the hemostatic properties of a composition comprising an anion exchanger and a calcium salt was carried out in an in-vivo heparinized porcine spleen circular punch model as described above, using DEAE covalently bound to Sephadex (DEAE-SEPHADEX™) as the anion exchanger. In this experiment, the punch size was 4 mm diameter, 2 mm depth. A compression time of 30 or 60 seconds was used following application. DEAE SEPHADEX™ A-50 was tested at two concentrations. In this experiment, the Post-Application Bleeding Intensity was evaluated qualitatively.
The following compositions (see elaboration in Table 1 above) were evaluated for their hemostatic efficacy:
-
- 1. DEAE SEPHADEX™ A-50, prepared as 10% w/v slurry in 20 mM CaCl2 solution, (0.5 ml contains 50 mg DEAE SEPHADEX™ A-50) (30 seconds compression time);
- 2. DEAE SEPHADEX™ A-50, prepared as 6.6% w/v slurry in 20 mM CaCl2 solution, (0.5 ml contains 33 mg DEAE SEPHADEX™ A-50) (60 seconds compression time);
- 3. SEPHADEX™ G-75 Superfine, prepared as 10% w/v slurry in 20 mM CaCl2 solution, (0.5 ml contains 50 mg per SEPHADEX™ G-75 Superfine) (60 seconds compression time);
- 4. SEPHADEX™ G-50 Medium, prepared as 10% w/v slurry in 20 mM CaCl2 solution, (0.5 ml contains 50 mg SEPHADEX™ G-50 Medium) (60 seconds compression time);
- 5. Commercial gelatin hemostat prepared as a slurry (0.5 ml contains 55 mg gelatin) (60 seconds compression time).
All four SEPHADEX™ samples comprise the same base polymer, cross-linked dextran. Compositions 1-4 were provided as powders, from which slurries were prepared as described in the Table 1 above. A commercial gelatin flowable hemostat was used as control.
It was found that SEPHADEX™ G-50 Medium, SEPHADEX™ G-75 Superfine and commercial gelatin hemostat, failed to stop the bleeding, i.e. no reduction in bleeding intensity was observed (results not shown).
Surprisingly, DEAE SEPHADEX™ A-50 reduced the bleeding at all tested compression times. Following the application of DEAE SEPHADEX™ A-50, the spleen was manually manipulated by folding the organ from both sides. No re-bleeding occurred at either of the tested concentrations and following the two different compression times (results not shown). Since hemostasis only occurred in the matrix supplemented with DEAE groups it was concluded that the hemostatic effect was due the presence of the DEAE groups.
Example 2
In the following Example, the effect on hemostasis of each of the components of a composition comprising an anion exchanger and a calcium salt was evaluated, separately and in combination, using an in-vivo heparinized porcine liver circular punch model, as described above. This experiment identifies which of the components of the composition are required for achieving hemostasis.
The preparation of each composition is described in Table 1 above. Compression time is listed in Table 2 below. In this experiment, the Initial Bleeding Intensity and Post-Application Bleeding Intensity were evaluated according to the 0-5 scale.
The following compositions were evaluated:
-
- 1. DEAE SEPHADEX™ A-50, prepared as 8% w/v slurry in 20 mM CaCl2 solution (0.5 ml contains 40 mg DEAE SEPHADEX™ A-50);
- 2. Commercial gelatin hemostat, prepared as a slurry (0.5 ml contains 55 mg gelatin);
- 3. Commercial gelatin hemostat with thrombin, prepared as a slurry (0.5 ml contains 55 mg gelatin);
- 4. SEPHADEX™ G-50 Medium, prepared as 14% w/v slurry in 20 mM CaCl2 solution (0.5 ml contains 70 mg SEPHADEX™ G-50 Medium).
- 5. DEAE SEPHADEX™ A-50, prepared as 8% w/v slurry in 20 mM NaCl solution (0.5 ml contains 40 mg DEAE SEPHADEX™ A-50);
- 6. SP SEPHADEX™ C-50, prepared as 8% w/v slurry in 20 mM CaCl2 solution (0.5 ml contains 40 mg SP SEPHADEX™ C-50);
- 7. QAE SEPHADEX™, prepared as 8% w/v slurry in 20 mM CaCl2 solution (0.5 ml contains 40 mg QAE SEPHADEX™);
- 8. DEAE SEPHACEL™, prepared as a slurry (100 mg); and
- 9. TOYOPEARL DEAE-650M™, prepared in powder form (100 mg).
The compression time following the application of each tested composition, and the bleeding intensity results are shown in Table 2. Bleeding Intensity Reduction was calculated by subtracting the Post-Application Bleeding Intensity from the Initial Bleeding Intensity.
In general, it can be seen, that a composition comprising an anion exchanger, such as DEAE bound to a matrix, together with a calcium salt, lead to complete hemostasis (see Table 2 for DEAE SEPHADEX™ A-50, DEAE SEPHACEL™, and TOYOPEARL DEAE-650M™, all containing a calcium salt). These compositions substantially lead to complete hemostasis regardless of the specific matrix used. For example, matrices such as SEPHADEX™, SEPHACEL™ and TOYOPEARL™ (dextran, cellulose and hydroxylated methacrylic polymer, respectively) had a similar effect in reducing the bleeding intensity.
More particularly, DEAE SEPHADEX™ A-50 8% w/v in CaCl2 was able cease bleeding after 60, and 30 seconds of compression. The results also showed DEAE SEPHADEX™ A-50 (8% w/v) application could be used, without compression, to reduce bleeding intensity (Table 2).
The hemostatic capabilities of a composition comprising DEAE SEPHADEX™ A-50 and a calcium salt exhibited similar efficacy to that of commercial gelatin hemostat with thrombin, when using the same compression time (30 seconds), and even with only 10 seconds of compression. However, the hemostatic capability of a hemostat based on an anion exchanger comprising DEAE bound to a matrix, and a calcium salt, was substantially superior to that of commercial gelatin hemostat in the absence of a biologically active component, such as thrombin.
As shown in Table 3, a composition comprising DEAE SEPHADEX™ prepared with NaCl, and lacking a calcium salt produced no reduction in bleeding intensity, such that it can be concluded that the sample was not effective in stopping the bleeding.
When evaluating the impact of the ion exchange group on the hemostatic capability, it was shown that SP SEPHADEX™ containing an anionic group, sulfopropyl (SP) with a calcium salt, did not reduce the bleeding intensity. In other words, a material with a negative (SP) group, instead of a positive (DEAE) group was not effective as a hemostat.
It was further shown that a quaternary aminoethyl, QAE SEPHADEX™ with a calcium salt was able to reduce bleeding intensity.
It was also shown, as in Example 1, that the matrix alone, in the absence of a functional group (SEPHADEX™ G-50 with a calcium salt but without DEAE groups) had no hemostatic efficacy.
The results show that use of a composition comprising DEAE groups bound to a matrix in presence of a calcium salt effectively achieved hemostasis.
The results also showed that compression time of 30 and 60 seconds following DEAE SEPHADEX™ A-50 (8% w/v) application resulted in complete hemostasis and therefore the TTH was defined as 30 seconds.
It was thus shown that an anion exchanger such as DEAE bound to a matrix together with a calcium salt provided complete hemostasis. This result was obtained regardless of the matrix used. The results are comparable to those obtained when using a commercial hemostat such as gelatin with thrombin.
It was found that QAE SEPHADEX™ together with a calcium salt reduced bleeding.
A composition devoid of a calcium salt and/or a matrix had no effect on the bleeding intensity.
These results suggest that a composition comprising an anion exchanger and a calcium salt is effective as a hemostat.
