Definitions
- the present invention relates to nucleic acids coding for peptides possessing the biological activity of sorbine, the peptides thus coded and their therapeutic applications.
- Sorbine is known to be a peptide of 153 amino acids and 17,500 Da, isolated and purified from the small intestine of pigs (Vagne-Descroix et al, Eur. J. Biochem, 1991, 201: 53-59, and patent application WO89 / 06241).
- One of the known biological activities of this molecule consists in an increase in the absorption of water and electrolytes (such as chloride and sodium ions) in the intestine and the gallbladder (Charpin et al, Gastroenterology, 1992 , 103: 1568-1573).
- electrolytes such as chloride and sodium ions
- the active site of sorbine is located in the C-terminal part of the sequence, which is a region insensitive to the action of trypsin and chymotrypsin and to oxidation.
- the protein sequence of sorbine as determined by automatic sequencing after purification, contains many amino acids encoded by degenerate codons with only 4 methionines. Cloning a coding sequence from the corresponding known amino acid sequence requires the choice of oligonucleotide primers for the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. The degree of degeneration of the primers being exceptionally high in the case of the cloning of sorbine, the theoretical number of sequences capable of being obtained from these primers was of the order of 6.10 24 . In addition, the authors of the present invention had to face the problem of the low expression of sorbine in normal tissues, due to the very small number of endocrine cells and to the scarcity of mRNAs.
- the subject of the present invention is therefore a nucleic acid coding for a peptide possessing the biological activity of sorbine, said nucleic acid comprising the nucleotide sequence chosen from: a) the sequence SEQ ID No. 1; b) the sequence SEQ ID No. 3; c) a nucleotide sequence homologous to the sequence SEQ ID No. 1 or No. 3; and d) at least one nucleotide fragment of said sequences a), b) or c).

This reduction in weight is accentuated for the vesicles treated compared to the controls.
- the activity of sorbine can also be measured by the disappearance of the electrolytes, in particular of the Na + and Cl " ions from an intestinal loop ligated in situ in an anesthetized rat, filled with a solution of known concentration. ions after a given time indicates the absorption of these ions from the intestinal lumen towards the interior medium.
- An antisecretory activity of sorbine can also be measured with the model below during the stimulation of intestinal secretion by the vasoactive peptide intestinal or cholera toxin. Sorbine causes a decrease in water secretions, Na + and CI ions " in this model (Marquet et al, 1994; Grishina et al, 1995; Marquet et al, 1998).

- the filter is then dried and exposed for autoradiography on film (Hyper film-MP®, Amersham) in a cassette with an intensifying screen.
- the exposure lasts from a few hours to several days at -80 ° C.
- the authors of the present invention carried out a screening of the expression library of cDNA on the duodenum and the jejunum of pigs with an anti-sorbin antiserum. This screening did not allow further research into this bank.
- the amplification by RT-PCR in the presence of degenerate primers in the least degenerate regions was found to be positive by giving several fragments amplified from RNA of jejunum and duodenum. All of these fragments were cloned, sequenced and compared with databases.
- the authors of the present invention varied the different parameters of the PCR to optimize the specificity of the primers. This made it possible to amplify part of the sorbine sequence.
- the sorbin fragment confirmed by sequencing was then used as a probe to screen the expression library produced from the same RNAs. Several clones were purified and sequenced.
- the cloning of the sorbine cDNA made it possible to correct the protein sequence of the sorbine, in its N-terminal region (fig. 1).
- the human sorbin gene was isolated using a probe prepared from the full cDNA (459 base pairs) encoding porcine sorbin.
- the antiserum used designated 93-128 Y C17, was produced by inoculation of the peptide containing amino acids 137 to 153 of porcine sorbine to which a tyrosine in position 1 was added to a rabbit, as described in the article. Cited above. In situ hybridization.
- In situ hybridization makes it possible to visualize an mRNA (transcribed of a gene) at the cellular level, either on histological sections or on cell suspensions, by the use of a labeled probe (hot or cold). Indeed, this technique is based on the specific pairing property (with a strong affinity) of two complementary nucleotide sequences. It takes place in 6 stages: * marking of the probe,
- the advantage of its use in the case of the study of sorbine is to localize at the cellular level, the mRNA corresponding to sorbine on histological sections of pancreatic vipoma, healthy pancreas and intestinal carcinoid, and thereby -same, to confirm the nucleic and immunocytological labeling obtained in parallel.
- the probes labeled with digoxigenin-1 1 -dUTP are used according to the method of multiple priming ("random priming").
- a drop of poly-L-lysine (1% diluted in distilled water) is spread on each slide using another slide such as a smear.
- the slides are air dried (free from dust) and incubated overnight in an oven at 60 ° C.
- Aim it allows the DNA to be denatured to make the mRNA more accessible to the probe.
- Aim to avoid the interaction of tissue peroxidases with the use of biotinylated strepatvidin peroxidase during revelation.
- the blades are immersed for 5 min. in H 2 0 2 (3% in PBS) and rinsed twice 5 min. in PBS.
- Goal it is a question of carrying out a negative control which will make it possible to affirm, during the study of the results, that the signal observed on the slides does not correspond to an artifact.
- the concentration of the probe can be adjusted according to the length. For probes smaller than 1 Kb, the concentration can reach 20 ⁇ g.ml " .
- the 20 ⁇ l of the denatured probe is placed on the slide.
- a coverslip is placed and incubated in a humid chamber at 42 ° C for 16 hours, protected from dust.
- Purpose they are used to remove excess probe, partial and non-specific hybrids. For this, the sections undergo washing in conditions of increasing stringency (that is to say decreasing concentration of salts and increase in temperature) which will ensure the dissociation of the partial and non-specific hybrids.
- the blades are immersed in successive baths: - 1 bath of 4XSSC (which allows the strips to be peeled off), - 1 bath of 1XSSC of 15 min. at room temperature, - 1 bath of 1XSSC of 30 min. at room temperature,
- STMT buffer (Sodium-Tris-Magnesium-Tween, Magnesium from Sodipro and Tween from Sigma) is prepared extemporaneously I mol.l "1 with 1% skimmed milk (pH 7.5) and rinsed : - 1 hour rinse in a 37 C water bath, - 1 rinse for 15 minutes at room temperature.
- a signal observed on a slide requires verification with other control slides to confirm the specificity of the response.
- the markings are linked to the presence of endogenous biotin.
- sorbine was sought in gastrointestinal and pancreatic tumors, by immunohistochemistry with antibodies specific for the C-terminal active region of sorbine. Tumors positive in immunohistochemistry were used in RT-PCR. After extraction of the RNAs and amplification, the presence of the sorbine was confirmed by the presence of a band of the expected size and by sequencing. Fragments considered to be parasitic and which did not correspond to the correct size were also sequenced. Their sequences did not correspond to sorbine and had no homology in the databases.
