Description:
INFORMATION ON RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application is a continuation-in-part of International Application No. PCT/EP2008/066480 filed Nov. 28, 2008, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application 60/991,042, filed Nov. 29, 2007, both of which are herein incorporated by reference.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Approved by the FDA in 1993 for treatment of anemia, Erythropoietin (EPO) is a 193 amino acid glycoprotein hormone, produced by the kidneys to regulate red blood cell (RBC) production; a process commonly termed erythropoiesis. EPO was originally identified as a cytokine that promotes erythrocyte progenitor survival and differentiation, but has also been shown to possess neuroprotective functions, particularly in response to ischemic injury in the central nervous system, (CNS). Clinical use of EPO has been prevalent in the treatment of anemic cancer patients, while ongoing studies are exploring EPO's potential in the treatment of neurological diseases (e.g. stroke). Notwithstanding, recent clinical studies in cancer patients have begun to uncover highly worrying adverse events, suggesting that administration of recombinant human EPO (rHuEPO) can adversely effect overall patient survival. An urgent need thus exists in medical oncology to better understand and predict the prevalence or susceptibility to this effect, so that administration of rHuEPO can be contra-indicated, continued or stopped.
SUMMARY
[0003] The present invention discloses members of the ephrin family (ephrinA1 and EPH-B4) as mediators of cytoprotective EPO signalling, either as homodimers and/or as heterodimeric partners of EPOR and/or each other. Our data emphasize the importance of EPH-B4 and EphrinA1 in mediating this function. As such, NEPOR represents a novel EPO receptor derived from a unique combination (i.e. via homo- and/or hetero-dimerization) of components derived from ephrin biology and possibly the EPO receptor. See FIG. 3 for summary.
[0004] The present disclosure is based upon the data that EPH-B4 and EphrinA1 are the components of a novel EPO receptor (NEPOR). We are able to show that EPO stimulates enhanced tumor growth in a mouse tumor model system. EPO stimulates the Akt signalling pathway in cell lines lacking EPO receptor expression. These cells express EPH-B4 which is a receptor that stimulates signalling via the Akt pathway. Furthermore in a mouse tumor model it can be shown that EPO is capable of stimulating significant tumor growth. Such activity is inhibited via knock-down of the EPH-B4 receptor highlighting the EPH-B4 dependant nature of a EPO mediated tumor genesis. As such, NEPOR is primarily composed of EPH-B4 as a homodimer and/or in heterodimeric association with EPOR or an Ephrin. Furthermore, in silico analyses points to structural complementarity between EPO and Ephrin molecules, particularly Ephrin A1. Thus, NEPOR may also be composed of EphrinA1 as a homodimer and/or in heterodimeric association EPH-B4. A summary of these putative NEPOR species is provided in FIG. 3 and Table 5.
[0005] The present disclosure provides a method for assessing a tissue for expression of the tissue protective NEPOR receptor complex and/or EPH-B4 and/or Ephrin A1. In so doing, the present disclosure provides a prognostic method to stratify patients having a tumour as suitable (NEPOR not present on the tumour; NEPOR-) or non-suitable (NEPOR present on the tumour; NEPOR+) for EPO treatment. Specifically, the method for assessing tumour tissue NEPOR and/or gene expression components comprises:
[0006] (a) isolating a tissue sample from an individual who is receiving or shall receive erythropoietin,
[0007] (b) determining the level of expression of the NEPOR gene transcript(s) (i.e. EPH-B4, and/or Ephrin A1 mRNA) and/or the presence of the NEPOR gene products (i.e. EPH-B4, and/or Ephrin A1 proteins) from the isolated tissue, and
[0008] (c) correlating the presence of these NEPOR component gene expression products to a negative physiological response to the treatment with erythropoietin.
[0009] In one aspect, methods are provided for determining whether a patient is suitable for erythropoietin (EPO) therapy, comprising (A) isolating a tissue sample from said patient; (B) determining the level of expression of EPH-B4 in said sample; and (C) correlating a presence of EPH-B4 expression to a negative physiological response to EPO therapy. In one embodiment, the level of expression is determined by measuring the amount of EPH-B4 protein (SEQ ID NO: 2) in said sample. In another embodiment, the level of expression is determined by measuring the amount of EPH-B4 mRNA (SEQ ID NO: 6) in said sample.
[0010] In another embodiment, the methods further comprise determining the level of expression in the sample of at least one of Ephrin A1 protein (SEQ ID NO: 3) or EPOR protein (SEQ ID NO: 1). Similarly, the methods can comprise determining the level of expression in the sample of at least one of Ephrin A1 mRNA (SEQ ID NO: 7) or EPOR mRNA (SEQ ID NO: 5).
[0011] Methods of determining the level of expression of EPH-B4 are further explained below.
[0012] In one embodiment, the presence of EPH-B4 expression is defined by the percentage of cells in said sample showing detectable levels of EPH-B4 protein and the concentration of EPH-B4 protein in said cells. In one example, the presence of EPH-B4 expression is defined by the formula P×C wherein P is the percentage of cells in said sample showing detectable levels of EPH-B4 protein and C is the relative concentration of EPH-B4 protein in said cells, wherein a score of 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 is assigned to a sample comprising a percentage of cells showing detectable levels of EPH-B4 protein of, respectively, 0%, <25%, 25-50%, 50-75% and 75-100%, wherein a score of 1, 2 or 3 is assigned to relative concentrations of EPH-B4 protein of, respectively, weak, moderate and heavy, and wherein a resulting product of >3 denotes EPH-B4 expression in the sample.
[0013] In one embodiment of the present invention, the level of expression of EPH-B4, but not of EPH-A1 is determined. Alternatively, the level of expression of EPH-B4, but not of other components of NEPOR is determined. This includes the possibility that the level of other proteins not being part of NEPOR is determined.
[0014] In a further embodiment, only the level of expression of EPH-B4 is determined.
[0015] In one embodiment, the level of expression of EPH-B4 is determined by immunohistochemistry. In another embodiment, the level of expression of EPH-B4 is determined by ELISA. In another embodiment, the level of expression of EPH-B4 is determined by RT-PCR.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES
[0039] FIG. 1 shows the genomic localization of human Eph receptor (EPH) and ephrin (EFN) genes on human chromosomes.
[0040] FIG. 2 shows the domain architecture of Eph receptors and Ephrins (A and B subclasses).
[0041] FIG. 3 shows the theoretical combinations of receptors that might have EPO binding capacity.
[0042] FIG. 4 shows a process for identifying putative EPO binding transmembrane receptors. All proteins containing two membrane proximal FN3 domains were extracted (84 in all) and assessed for evidence of response to hypoxia. EPH-B4 was amongst one of four possible proteins extracted. Moreover, it is the only member of the Ephrin receptor family which is embryonic lethal, with death in embryo's preceding that of EPOR knock-outs.
[0043] FIG. 5 shows the human EPO locus showing the neighbouring EPH-B4 gene.
[0044] FIG. 6 shows a schematic of the results from analysis of the 5' and 3' UTR's (and an additional 500 bp on either side) of the EPO, EPOR and EPH-B4 genes for the presence of hypoxia inducible transcription factor binding sites. This study was performed employing the "Match" algorithm from TRANSFAC (Nucleic Acids Res. 2003 January 1, 31(1):374-8) to analyse the composition of HIF1 binding sites. Strikingly, only the EPO and EPH-B4 genes were found to contain such sites, supporting the hypothesis that EPH-B4 is indeed hypoxia inducible. The figure discloses the nucleotide sequences as SEQ ID NOS 225-233, respectively, in order of appearance and the protein sequences as SEQ ID NOS 268-273, respectively, in order of appearance.
[0045] FIG. 7A shows a structural analysis of EphrinA5:EphB2 association in comparison with that of EPO:EPOR. This structural analysis reveals several commonalities consistent with a propensity for Ephrin A1 to bind EPO. The top panel shows homology of the EPO binding region of EPOR to the human Ephrin A molecules. FIG. 7B compares the structural aspects of Ephrin A with EPOR. Figure discloses SEQ ID NOS 234-240 in the first box, residues 73-107 of SEQ ID NO: 234, 75-109 of SEQ ID NO: 235, 81-119 of SEQ ID NO: 236, 85-123 of SEQ ID NO: 237, 76-114 of SEQ ID NO: 238, 79-117 of SEQ ID NO: 239 and 76-105 of SEQ ID NO: 240 in the second box, residues 31-34 of SEQ ID NO: 234, 31-34 of SEQ ID NO: 235, 33-36 of SEQ ID NO: 236, 36-39 of SEQ ID NO: 237, 30-33 of SEQ ID NO: 238, 30-33 of SEQ ID NO: 239 and 26-32 of SEQ ID NO: 240 in the third box, and residues 45-53 of SEQ ID NO: 234, 47-55 of SEQ ID NO: 235, 50-58 of SEQ ID NO: 236, 54-62 of SEQ ID NO: 237, 47-55 of SEQ ID NO: 238, 48-56 of SEQ ID NO: 239 and 47-55 of SEQ ID NO: 240 in the fourth box.
[0046] FIG. 8 shows staining of hippocampus with anti-EPH-B4 and anti-EpoR antibodies. It should be noted that there is a striking co-expression of both proteins restricted to certain cells only. These data suggest functional coupling of EPH-B4 and EPOR activity.
[0047] FIG. 9 shows co-immunoprecipitation of EPH-B4 using flag-tagged EpoR. This finding is consistent with the notion that EPH-B4 and EPOR might heterodimerize.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0062] The present disclosure results from the identification of a novel EPO receptor, henceforth referred to as NEPOR. NEPOR was identified using a bioinformatics workflow encompassing both a functional and sequence based analysis of the human genome/proteome. Homology analysis involving an extracellular protein database (termed XtraCellDB) was used in conjunction text-mining and genome context analysis. These in silico predictions were subsequently verified in lab-based experiments. Thus, the present disclosure provides genomic, proteomic and experiment evidence that the protein EPH-B4 (Erythropoietin Producing Hepatoma protein B4) and/or Ephrin A1 act as EPO receptors.
EPO: Biological Function
[0063] Erythropoietin (EPO) is a 193 amino acid type I cytokine, produced by cells of the renal cortex to regulate red blood cell (RBC) production in a process termed erythropoiesis. Erythropoiesis is multistage in nature, involving the differentiation of pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells through the lineage-committed burst-forming unit-erythroid (BFU-E) and colony-forming unit-erythroid (CFU-E) progenitor cells, which give rise to a series of early and late erythroblasts, eventually leading to the formation of reticulocytes and mature erythrocytes. During this process, the sequential formation of pro-erythroblasts, basophilic, polychromatophilic, and orthochromatic erythroblasts is positively regulated by EPO. EPO induces multiple positive effects on early erythroblasts, including increased proliferation, progression through maturation, and protection from programmed cell death.
[0064] In terms of molecular mechanism, EPO binds to two identical receptors (EpoR), an event which activates several intracellular signaling pathways. These include Janus kinase 2-signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (JAK2-STAT5), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), protein kinase C (PKC), and Ras-Raf-MEK (mitogen-activated or extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase kinase)--ERK (extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase). The JAK2-STAT5 and RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK pathways are thought to be associated with Epo's mitogenic action, while the PI3K pathway, acting through Akt (PI3K-Akt), is viewed as a mediator of EPO's anti-apoptotic activities.
EPO: Clinical Use
[0065] Anemia (AmE) or an.ae butted.mia/anaemia (BrE), from the Greek ('vαiμia)(an-ha{hacek over (i)}ma) meaning "without blood", is a deficiency of red blood cells (RBCs) and/or hemoglobin. The condition is commonly observed in patients with chronic diseases, and is particularly common in cancer where about 50% of patients are anaemic at presentation and some 70-90% developing the condition during the course of treatment (typically termed chemotherapy induced anemia (CIA)). In a recent review of the European Cancer Anemia Survey (ECAS), Ludwig et al. cited a 50% baseline anemia rate (hemoglobin [Hb]<12 g/dL) among 3010 patients with hematological malignancies and a 41% baseline anemia rate among 11,453 patients with solid tumours (Blood, 2002; 100:234a-235a. Abstract 884). Further longitudinal analysis revealed that 72% of 2780 patients with haematologic malignancies and 66% of 10,067 patients with solid tumours succumbed to CIA. Other published studies have reported varying high rates in patients at different phases and with different types of treatment (Table 1). Notwithstanding, all studies demonstrate the extremely high prevalence of anemia amongst cancer patients.
TABLE-US-00001 TABLE 1 Prevalence of Anemia in Cancer Patients Undergoing Treatment Type of Cancer Prevalence of Anemia (Hb < 12 g/dL) Cervical cancer.sup.[3] 82% Solid tumors.sup.[1] 66% Colorectal cancer.sup.[3] 67% Lung cancer.sup.[3] 63% Haematological malignancies 72%
[0066] A number of factors contribute to the high incidence of anemia among cancer patients, including not only chemotherapy and radiation-induced myelosuppression, but also cytokine-mediated anemia of chronic disease, bleeding, marrow infiltration by tumour, hemolysis, and nutritional deficiencies. Whatever the source, anemia results in a reduced ability of blood to transfer oxygen to the tissues, leading to tissue hypoxia and an associated range of clinical consequences, affecting all realms of patient health: physiologic status, psychosocial well-being and quality of life. Not surprising, anemia can negatively affect a patient's response to cancer therapy, a fact which highlights the important supportive role of rHuEPO in restoring normal RBC counts.
EPO: Clinical Safety
[0067] ESA's were for many years considered to be extremely safe in their labelled indications of chronic kidney disease and chemotherapy-induced anemia. The first hints of safety issues came in 2003 when results from a pair of studies examining EPO's potentiation of radiation and chemotherapy prompted an FDA meeting in May 2004. This first study (the ENHANCE study: Lancet 2003; 362:1255-1260) suggested the relative risk of progression-free survival was worse for patients who received radiotherapy plus NeoRecormon epoetin beta from Roche than for patients receiving placebo plus radiotherapy. A randomized, double-blind, multi-institutional trial that included a study population of 351 patients who were receiving radiotherapy was performed. The patients were treated 3 times per week with either placebo or EPO in the form of epoetin beta starting 10 to 14 days before and continuing through radiation therapy. Although haemoglobin levels increased in 82% of patients receiving EPO, compared with 15% in patients receiving placebo, the rate of loco-regional progression-free survival was significantly lower. In addition, the EPO group had a higher relative risk for loco-regional progression and death.
[0068] In the second trial involving 939 breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy (the BEST study: J. Clin. Oncol. 2005; 23:5960-5972; see table 2), those given Eprex epoetin alfa from Johnson & Johnson had a higher 4-month mortality rate and a lower 12-month survival rate than those on placebo. Both studies attempted to push the limits of hemoglobin levels beyond that permitted for marketing by the FDA--the recommended haemoglobin target for Aranesp was at the time up to 12 g/dL, while the labels for Epogen and Procrit recommended 10-12 g/dL. Henke treated men to target levels of at least 15 g/dL, while women were treated to at least 14 g/dL. The target level in the BEST study was 12-14 g/dL.
TABLE-US-00002 TABLE 2 Summary of the results from Leyland-Jones et al. (J. Clin. Oncol. 2005; 23: 5960-5972) showing that 8.7% of patients from the EPO treatment arm died within 4 months of treatment, compared to 3.4% in the non-treated arm. Table 2 Causes of Death Among Patients Who Died Within 4 Months of Random Assignment (ITT population, N = 939) Epoetin Alfa Placebo (n = 469) (n = 470) No. of No. of Outcome Patients % Patients % Alive at 4 months 428 91.3 454 96.6 Died within 4 months 41 8.7 16 3.4 ITT = Intention to treat.
[0069] Johnson & Johnson (JNJ, New Brunswick, N.J.) have since reported data from the Phase IV CHOIR trial (N. Engl. J. Med. 2006 November 16; 355(20):2085-98.) that tested whether using Procrit epoetin alfa to get hemoglobin levels to 13.5 g/dL would improve outcomes vs. treating to 11.3 g/dL (within the 10-12 g/dL range on the drug's label). Patients in the higher haemoglobin is group had a significantly increased incidence of mortality and cardiovascular events. While this study was carried out in the renal disease space, the safety implications were further emphasized in a more recent study--DAHANCA10. In February 2007, Amgen disclosed that this independent study had been halted three months earlier after interim data showed that Aranesp plus radiation missed the primary endpoint of 3-year loco-regional control vs. radiation alone. The study also showed a non-significant increase in death in the Aranesp arm. DAHANCA10 explored whether the use of Aranesp to maintain a hemoglobin level of 14-15.5 g/dL during radiotherapy could improve loco-regional disease control in patients with primary head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).
[0070] Safety signals also emerged from the use of Aranesp in the AoC space (study 103). In January 2007, Amgen reported that the risk/benefit profile of Aranesp was "at best neutral" in a Phase III trial in patients who had AoC and who were not receiving chemo- or radio-therapy. Here the data revealed significantly more deaths in Aranesp patients than in placebo patients. The trial, which treated patients to a haemoglobin level of 12-13 g/dL, also missed its primary endpoint of a significant reduction in transfusion frequency at 16 weeks. Study 103 enrolled patients with various cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), breast cancer and prostate cancer. Canadian researchers have published similar findings (J. Clin. Oncol. 2007 March 20; 25(9):1027-32). Here the authors showed that of the 70 advanced NSCLC patients with AoC, those receiving Procrit, had a significantly higher mortality rate than those receiving placebo. A synopsis of each of these studies is provided in Table 3 below:

[0071] These clinical findings have led many investigators to suggest a possible role for ESA's in promoting tumour growth through stimulation of EPO receptor survival signalling in tumour to cells, and via the stimulation of angiogenesis. Implicit in these proposed activities is the notion that the EPO receptor can somehow confer survival advantage to cancer cells, a negative side effect. This, in turn, suggests that EPO receptor is both present and activated by EPO binding in such cells. Using real-time, quantitative RT-PCR, the EPOR gene has not only been shown to be strongly expressed in bone marrow (containing the EPO-responsive erythroid progenitors), but also at significant levels in normal tissues (e.g. kidney, heart, brain, endothelium, and smooth muscle). Moreover, EPOR transcript levels in breast, colon, ovary, prostate, lung, lymphoma, ileum, stomach, and kidney tumour tissues and tumour cell lines were no higher than those levels observed in normal tissue counterparts. These findings are in concordance other reports which demonstrated that EPOR transcript levels are basically equivalent in matched tumour and non-tumour samples from patients with lung, colon and prostate cancer. From the perspective of these data, it is questionable whether the EPOR gene might somehow provide selective advantage to tumour cells, at least via abnormal expression levels.
[0072] Therefore, there is a possible role for EPOR in mediating tumour cell survival in response to EPO. From a molecular perspective, the ability of cancer cells to subvert the EPO/EPOR system would not be surprising. A number of preclinical studies have demonstrated EPO-mediated activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-Akt, JAK-STAT (Janus kinase-Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription), and nuclear factor-kappa B (NFκB) signalling pathways in a variety of human cancers. Each of these signalling cascades has been associated with cellular functions that promote tumour progression. EPO stimulated not only chemotaxis of endothelial cells, together with migration and invasion of breast cancer and HNSCC cells, but also appears to induce cancer cell proliferation and inhibit apoptosis. Moreover, pretreatment with rHuEPO protects some cancer cell lines from the cytotoxic effects of the chemotherapeutic agent, cisplatin. Thus, EPO/EPOR signalling appears to contribute to a wide variety of tumour-promoting functions in different cancer types.
[0073] Despite this evidence, the possible contribution of EPO/EPOR signalling to cancer progression is anything but straightforward. The influence of EPO/EPOR on different cancer types appears to be quite variable and remains incompletely understood. Studies have shown that EPO does not influence the proliferation of cancer cell lines. Rosti et al. (Haematologica 1993 July-August; 78(4):208-12.), for example, investigated the proliferative potential of rHuEPO by testing the effects of this factor on clonogenic growth and DNA synthesis in 10 different cell lines derived from haematologic malignancies and solid tumours. The cell lines K-562 and HEL were included in this study, both of which express EPO receptors. Results showed that rHuEPO had no effect on either colony growth or DNA synthesis (see Table 4).

[0074] In a similar study, Westphal et al. (Tumori 2002 March-April; 88(2):150-9.) investigated the effects of EPO on more than 25 different benign and malignant human cell lines. Expression of EPO receptor mRNA and protein was analyzed with RT-PCR, Western blot, and immunocytochemistry. Cellular responses to various concentrations of EPO were evaluated using tritiated thymidine uptake, Northern blot analysis of c-fos expression, and tyrosine-kinase activity assay. EPO receptor mRNA and protein were identified in the majority of the tumour cell lines evaluated. Despite these findings, treatment with rHuEPO did not significantly influence the proliferation rate of EPO-receptor-positive tumour cell lines. Moreover, treatment with EPO neither affected the gene c-fos mRNA of those cell lines nor stimulated tyrosine-kinase activation. Based on their findings, the authors concluded that expression of the EPO receptor in tumour cells does not appear to be essential for growth and therefore should not have a deleterious effect in cancer patients.
[0075] Results by Lu et al. (J. Biol. Chem., Vol. 281, Issue 11, 7002-7011, 2006) establish that receptor activation is not simply accomplished by bringing two receptors into close proximity through disulfide linkages in the transmembrane or extracellular domains. Instead, the relative orientation of the two transmembrane domains of an EpoR dimer, rather than their proximity, determines the extent of receptor activation. More specifically, these authors propose that Epo binding to the inactive, symmetric EpoR dimer causes the repositioning of the two fibronectinIII domains to an asymmetric 120° relative orientation, which in turn changes the orientation of the transmembrane domains and intracellular domains, and juxtaposes the appended JAK2s to initiate the phosphorylation cascade. EPO mutants would not necessarily be expected to be capable of initiating EPOR-signalling, due to their inability to induce the correct relative conformation of the fibronectinIII domains. Interestingly, it appears that certain aspects of EPO function can be decoupled from EPOR activity. Leist et al. (Science 305, 239-242.) have shown that the haematopoietic and tissue-protective activities of Epo are distinct and separate, demonstrating for example that carbamylated Epo (CEpo) does not stimulate erythropoiesis, yet prevents tissue injury in a wide variety of in vivo and in vitro models.
[0076] EPO's efficacy in treating nervous system disease has been demonstrated in several experimental models of brain and spinal cord injury. As such, EPO has become a candidate for therapeutic neuro-protection. Notwithstanding, the use of EPO as a neuro-protectant raises several safety issues. Although recombinant EPO seems to be potentially safe at neuroprotective proven doses, cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events can occur as a result of its bone marrow stimulating activities. Interestingly, as highlighted above, EPO's neuronal protective function appears molecularly separable from the haematopoietic activity, as carbamylated EPO and certain EPO mutants are neuroprotective but fail to induce haematopoiesis. Such mutants fail to bind EPOR (Leist et al. Science 305, 239-242).
[0077] EPO was for a long time considered to act solely on haematopoietic cells, a fact which led to its emergence as a leading treatment for chemotherapy-induced anemia. However, emerging evidence has shown that EPO is expressed in a variety of tissue and cell types, including cancer, vascular endothelial, and neuronal cells. Expression of EPO is induced in response to hypoxia, an event mediated by the HIF-1 transcription factor. EPO is prototypically thought to exert its biological effects via binding to its cell surface receptor EPOR, resulting in tyrosine phosphorylation of the receptor and other intracellular proteins, including JAK2 and STAT5. The JAK/STAT pathway is utilized both in haematopoietic and non-haematopoietic cells (including brain cells) following binding of EPO to the EPO receptor. The recent findings of EPO-receptor expression in human breast and renal cancer cells, as well as in several tumour cell lines, have raised important questions in the oncology setting about a possible tumour-growth-promoting effect of rHuEPO on EPO-receptor-bearing tumours. This possibility has been borne out in several clinical trials. Interestingly, other studies have shown that certain EPO mutants which are cytoprotective but not longer able to induce haematopoiesis, function independently of EPOR. This suggests that another EPO receptor may exist which lacks EPOR's strict binding conformation requirements.
Ephrin and Ephrin Receptor Biology
[0078] Erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular carcinoma (Eph) receptors form the largest family of receptor tyrosine kinases. Eph receptors are divided into two groups (Eph-A's and Eph-B's) based on the similarity of their extracellular domain sequences and the distinct structural properties of the ephrin ligands (Eph Nomenclature Committee, 1997). About 16 ephrin receptor genes (EphA1-10, EphB1-6) have been identified in the vertebrate genome (Pasquale, Nat. Rev., Mol. Cell Biol. 6 (2005), pp. 462-475.), 14 of which are present in humans (FIG. 1) and other mammals (EphA1-8, EphA10, EphB1-4, EphB6).
[0079] Eph receptors are single-pass transmembrane proteins with highly conserved extracellular and intracellular domains. The former domains consists of an N-terminal ligand binding domain, a cysteine-rich EGF-like region and two fibronectin type III repeats (Yamaguchi and Pasquale, Curr. Opin. Neurobiol. 14 (2004), pp. 288-296.). Intracellularly, the juxtamembrane region is followed by a tyrosine kinase domain, followed by a sterile-α-motif (SAM), and a type-II PSD-95/Disc large/ZO-1 (PDZ) binding motif at the carboxyl terminus (Kullander and Klein, Nat. Rev., Mol. Cell Biol. 3 (2002), pp. 475-486.). The tyrosine kinase domain of one receptor from each class (EphA10 and EphB6) lacks residues that are essential for catalytic activity. Eph receptor variants are generated by alternative splicing and their structures differ from the prototypical domain structure. The domain architecture of Eph receptors and Ephrins (A and B subclasses) are shown in FIG. 2.
[0080] Eph receptors can undergo cis-oriented homo- as well as heterodimerization (Freywald et al., J. Biol. Chem. 277 (2002), pp. 3823-3828.), which is mediated directly by the extracellular cysteine-rich region, the fibronectin type III repeats (Lackmann et al., J. Biol. Chem. 273 (1998), pp. 20228-20237.) and the SAM motif (Stapleton et al., Nat. Struct. Biol. 6 (1999), pp. 44-49. and Thanos et al., Science 283 (1999), pp. 833-836.) or indirectly through PDZ protein interactions (Fanning and Anderson, J. Clin. Invest. 103 (1999), pp. 767-772). Trans-oriented interactions typically occur with select ephrin molecules on opposing cells. In common with their receptors, the ephrins (named derived from Eph family receptor interacting proteins or ephoros) are divided into two distinct subclasses A and B. Ephrin-A ligands are GPI-anchored peripheral membrane molecules. In contrast, ephrin-B ligands are transmembrane molecules whose short cytoplasmic domain is capable of participating in various signalling events. The ephrin-A and ephrin-B molecules were initially described as selectively interacting with EphA and EphB receptors, respectively. However, there may be crosstalk between A and B family members. For example, ephrin-A5 is capable of binding EphB2, while EphA4 binds to ephrin-A and ephrin-B family members. Although interactions across classes are limited, within a class they are promiscuous, with multiple EphA receptors binding to a given ephrinA and vice versa.
[0081] While neither class of ephrins possesses a catalytic activity, both can activate signal transduction pathways after interaction with Eph receptors (reverse signalling). Reverse signalling activated by transmembrane ephrins includes tyrosine phosphorylation of their cytoplasmic tail and interaction with various signalling molecules. The mechanism by which GPI-linked ephrins stimulate downstream signalling is still unclear.
[0082] Signalling sometimes involves formation of signalling assemblies, a process that begins with a monovalent interaction (nanomolar affinity) between an Eph receptor and an ephrin on a juxtaposed cell. Crystallographic work has shown that the globular ephrin-binding domain of EphB2 contains a cavity that accommodates a hydrophobic protrusion from the ephrins. Structural changes occur upon binding. For example, EphB2 undergoes different structural rearrangements upon binding to ephrin-B2 or ephrin-A5.
[0083] A lower affinity binding interface is also present on the opposite side of the EphB2 ligand binding domain (Eph--1b), with complementary interfaces also present in the Eph-receptor-binding domain of ephrin-B2. While only of micromolar binding affinity, the second interface can mediate the dimerization of two Eph-ephrin dimers into a tetramer that comprises two receptor and two ephrin molecules extending from adjacent cell surfaces. The lower-affinity interface contains important determinants of subclass specificity and is not engaged in the EphB2-ephrin-A5 complex.
[0084] Signalling is initiated upon transphosphorylation via correctly orientated kinase domains. Eph receptors become extensively phosphorylated upon activation by ephrins and via src-kinase association. Phosphorylation promotes conformational order on the activation segment of the kinase domain that favours substrate binding and also disrupts intra-molecular inhibitory interactions that occur between the juxtamembrane segment and the kinase domain. Src-family mediated phosphorylation of Eph receptors has also been shown to act in a similar manner.
Discussion
[0085] Working on the theory that the adverse effects of EPO seen in many cancer patients may be mediated by a receptor complex distinct from the prototypical EPO receptor (EPOR) homodimer, we initiated an in silky discovery project to try to identify a novel EPO receptor. Should such a novel EPO receptor species exist, we hypothesized that it will be responsible for mediating EPO-induced cell survival activity, as opposed to EPO mediated haematopoietic activity. Thus, we proposed the existence of at least two species of EPO receptor; the prototypical EPOR homodimer which is primarily responsible for EPO's haematopoietic activity, and a novel EPO receptor, termed NEPOR, which is primarily responsible for EPO's cytoprotective activities. The existence of such a novel EPO receptor is compelling for three main reasons. Firstly it allows the prediction of a cancer patients response to EPO. Presence of NEPOR on a tumour cell would imply a negative response to EPO, since binding of EPO by NEPOR would induce a cascade of survival signals within tumour cells and tissues, thus contributing to cancer progression and poorer patient survival. Thus, detection of NEPOR expression in a tumour provides a novel biomarker for stratify cancer patients as suitable (i.e. NEPOR not present) or unsuitable (i.e. NEPOR present) for EPO treatment. A corollary of this model is a second interesting perspective. If NEPOR is capable of initiating survival signals on cancer cells, then it represents an excellent therapeutic target for treatment of cancers expressing this receptor. Thus, therapeutic molecules targeting and antagonizing the tissue protective function of this receptor should be efficacious anti-cancer agents. Finally, under conditions where induction of cell survival is favourable, such as in response to ischemic stroke, therapeutic molecules capable of activating NEPOR-mediated survival signals provide an efficacious path to treating a variety of neurological diseases. Definition of NEPOR's molecular composition therefore provides the molecular basis for designing such therapies.
[0086] It had previously been proposed that rHuEPO can promote tumour growth through stimulation of Epo receptor (EPOR) signalling in tumour cells, and via the stimulation of angiogenesis. Binding of EPO to EPOR homodimers was assumed to somehow confer survival advantage to cancer cells, leading to increased loco-regional progression and poorer survival rates in patients having a form of cancer. However, aware of the binding promiscuity of exogenously administered therapeutics, we were anxious to address the possibility as to whether another receptor might be responsible for the observed negative outcomes, either alone or in functional interaction with EPOR.
[0087] In an effort to identify such a novel cytoprotective EPO receptor, we developed an in silico based analysis approach specifically designed to mine the human proteome for candidate molecules. Combining the power of text-mining and in-depth bioinformatics analysis, this multi-evidence based approach successfully identified a putative novel EPO receptor. Subsequent lab-based validation supports these findings. Given its established physiological role, we propose that by impinging on this receptors activity, EPO can confer survival advantage to certain cells, including cancer cells and neurons. As a consequence, the expression of this protein on cancer cells can be used to stratify the suitability of cancer patients for EPO treatment. Patients with cancer associated NEPOR expression should be contraindicated for EPO treatment. However, a corollary of this finding is that these same individuals represent excellent candidates for treatment with antagonistic anti-NEPOR therapies. In addition, we also propose that by mediating EPO's cyto-protective activity, NEPOR represents an excellent therapeutic target for a variety of diseases involving tissue ischaemia (e.g. stroke).
[0088] Thus, in the first instance, the present disclosure provides a method for assessing a tumour for expression of NEPOR. The disclosure provides a method to stratify patients having a tumour as suitable (i.e. NEPOR not present) or non-suitable (i.e., NEPOR present) for EPO treatment. The method disclosed comprises: (a) isolating a tissue sample from an individual who is receiving or shall receive erythropoietin, (b) determining the level of expression of the NEPOR gene(s) (mRNA) and/or the presence of the NEPOR gene product (protein) from the isolated tissue, and (c) correlating the presence of an NEPOR gene expression product or the presence of NEPOR protein to a physiological response to the treatment with erythropoietin. In a second instance, the present disclosure provides a method for treating patients possessing NEPOR positive tumors. Furthermore, the present disclosure provides a method for treating stroke. Finally, by providing a means of comparing binding affinities of putative therapeutics to both NEPOR and EPOR, the present disclosure provides a method for screening for NEPOR specific therapeutics (both antagonistic therapeutics for cancer, and agonistic therapeutics for treatment of hypoxia associated disease such as stroke). Such therapeutics will lack the haematopoietic activity associated with EPOR binding and signaling.
NEPOR--Molecular Definition
[0089] We have identified a novel multimeric EPO receptor, which we term NEPOR. NEPOR comprises EPHB4 and/or Ephrin A1 molecules either as homodimers or heterodimers. Without being bound by theory, these components may also heterodimerize with the EPO receptor. A synopsis of the possible molecular compositions of NEPOR is provided in FIG. 3. Despite the room for molecular promiscuity involving other components from ephrin biology, EPH-B4 and/or EphrinA1 are components of a novel EPO receptor (NEPOR). As such NEPOR is primarily composed of EPH-B4 and Ephrin A1, either as a homodimers and/or in heterodimeric association with each other, or the EPO receptor. Without being bound by theory, given the strong functional association between EPH-B4 and Ephrin B2, NEPOR may also comprise Ephrin B2 disclosed herein as SEQ ID NO. 4 (amino acid sequence), SEQ ID NO. 8 (mRNA sequence), and SEQ ID NO. 12 (binding region).
[0090] Table 5 shows, without being bound by theory, the possible molecular composition of dimeric EPO receptors. The prototypical haematopoietic EPO receptor (EPOR) represents a homodimer of two EPOR (SEQ ID NO. 1) monomers (1). Our results suggest that a novel tissue protective EPO receptor dimer is comprised of Ephrin A1 (SEQ ID NO. 3) and EPH-B4 (SEQ ID NO.2). Possible scenarios are shown in Table 5.

[0091] The present disclosure includes any splice variant of the polypeptides of SEQ ID NOS 1-4 components possessing the extracellular EPO binding region (for EPH-B4 this region of proposed to encompass the two fibronectinIII domains; the oval structures adjacent to Epo in FIGS. 3B, D and F) and the intracellular signalling part, is also capable of mediating EPO's (and derivatives thereof) cyto-protective effect.
NEPOR: Prognostic Implications
[0092] The type I cytokine, Erythropoietin (EPO), possesses both haematopoietic and tissue protective activities. The present disclosure provides that the latter functionality is mediated via interactions of EPO with a novel EPO receptor, termed NEPOR. The model provides that binding of EPO to NEPOR receptor complexes, on NEPOR positive cancer cells, confers survival advantage to such cells. The implicit physiological outcome for patients possessing NEPOR positive cancers is therefore increased loco-regional cancer progression and poorer overall survival.
[0093] Thus, the present disclosure provides a diagnostic or prognostic test that can predict whether or not cancer patients administered EPO will respond negatively in terms of survival outcome. The prognostic test comprises determining NEPOR (i.e. EPH-B4, and/or Ephrin A1) in tumour tissue, or more particularly cancer cells. In another embodiment NEPOR component gene expression levels in tumour cells can be compared to baseline levels or levels in surrounding normal cells or tissue. Therefore, a comparative analysis looking at elevated or normal baseline expression levels of NEPOR component expression, using standard gene expression analysis methods (such as q-PCR and DNA microarray analyses) provides a diagnostic test that can determine whether or not administration of EPO to cancer patients will unwittingly enhance tumour cell survival (a negative outcome).
[0094] As stated, one method that can be used for comparing levels of gene expression of components of NEPOR and/or EPH-B4, and/or Ephrin A1 is Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). This is a modification of PCR or polymerase chain reaction used to rapidly measure the quantity of DNA present in a tissue sample. Like other forms of polymerase chain reaction, the process is used to amplify nucleic acid samples, via the temperature-mediated enzyme DNA polymerase. PCR amplifies DNA exponentially, doubling the number of molecules present with each amplification cycle. The number of amplification cycles and the amount of PCR end-product should allow one to calculate the initial quantity of NEPOR-specific genetic material and/or EPH-B4 and/or Ephrin A1 genetic material in particular mRNA molecules using NEPOR-specific component sequences in particular and/or EPH-B4, and/or Ephrin A1 sequences for the two primers used for amplification.
[0095] In addition, gene expression analysis of NEPOR components and/or EPH-B4, and/or Ephrin A1 can be done with a microarray analysis containing a plurality of capture probes specific for sequences of the NEPOR complex in particular and/or EPH-B4, and/or Ephrin A1. As EPO is proposed to stimulate survival of NEPOR positive cancer cells and/or EPH-B4, and/or Ephrin A1 positive cells, it is important to test all cancer patients for NEPOR status and/or EPH-B4, and/or Ephrin A1 status prior to and during EPO administration. This is best done with a microarray analysis for expression status of NEPOR component genes in tumour tissue and with mRNA samples taken from tumour tissue. Ascertaining the levels of endogenous tumour associated NEPOR (i.e. EPH-B4, and/or EphrinA1) expression, provide correlations as to patient prognosis/survival rate.
[0096] The present disclosure thus provides a method to stratify patients having a tumour as suitable (i.e. NEPOR not present and/or EPH-B4, and/or Ephrin A1 present) or non-suitable (i.e., NEPOR present and/or EPH-B4, and/or Ephrin A1 present) for EPO treatment. The method disclosed comprises: (a) isolating a tissue sample from an individual who is receiving or shall receive erythropoietin, (b) determining the level of expression of EPH-B4 and/or Ephrin A1 from the isolated tissue, and (c) correlating the presence of these component gene expression products to a negative physiological response to the treatment with erythropoietin.

NEPOR and Disease Intervention and Therapy Design/Screening.
[0104] Without being bound by theory, NEPOR is proposed to mediate the cyto-protective effects of EPO and its variants. Thus, EPO and variants that have been shown to possess cyto-protective (but not haematopoietic) activity can affect NEPOR function. Therefore, the present disclosure provides knowledge of NEPOR's composition that can be used to optimize the structure and efficacy of such therapeutic molecules (that is, better manage the structure-activity relationship or SAR of the EPO pharmacophore). Moreover, the present disclosure provides knowledge of NEPOR's composition that can be used to identify novel NEPOR regulating compounds. For example, in diseases associated with hypoxic conditions (e.g., stroke, heart attack), NEPOR binding compounds of enhanced efficacy can be developed to mimic the effects of EPO on NEPOR. Similarly, NEPOR specific antagonists (such as those molecules that bind the active site of NEPOR yet do not transducer signal are antagonists of EPO function. Such EPO antagonist agents, when concomitantly administered with EPO, can allow for EPO effects to improve haematopoiesis (that is, treat the anaemia) yet prevent the side effect of promoting tumour cell growth, survival and angiogenesis in NEPOR positive cancers such as HNSCC. Moreover, contrasting the relative activity of compounds to the tissue protective NEPOR receptor complex in comparison to the EPOR receptor homodimer provides for generating NEPOR specific/directed therapies.
[0105] Definition of NEPOR provides methods for identifying therapeutic molecules that modulate NEPOR's tissue protective signalling activity. This comprises: (a) contacting a test compound with the NEPOR receptor complex and/or EPH-B4 and/or Ephrin A1 and an EPOR homodimer complex; (b) measuring and comparing the level of tissue protective activity initiated by NEPOR activation with the activation of EPOR homodimer signalling; (c) identifying a test compound which increases or decreases the level of tissue protective NEPOR complex activity as compared to the level of EPOR complex activation; and (d) assaying the identified therapeutics for tissue protective activity mediated via NEPOR, but lack of EPOR activation and (e) assaying the identified therapeutics for NEPOR inhibitory activity. The method is useful for identifying therapeutics that modulates the interaction between a tissue protective NEPOR complex and/or EPH-B4 and/or Ephrin A1 and the EPO ligand. The method is furthermore useful for identifying therapies for treating diseases of the central nervous system or peripheral nervous system which have primarily neurological or psychiatric symptoms, ophthalmic diseases, cardiovascular diseases, cardiopulmonary diseases, respiratory diseases, kidney, urinary and reproductive diseases, bone diseases, skin diseases, gastrointestinal diseases and endocrine and metabolic abnormalities and cancer.
[0106] More specifically, identification of NEPOR provides a method identifying (I1) a compound that modulates the tissue protective activity of NEPOR, comprising:
[0107] (a) contacting a test compound with a tissue protective NEPOR receptor complex (N) and/or EPH-B4 and/or Ephrin A1 or tissue protective cytokine receptor complex-expressing cell; measuring the level of the activity of (N) in the cell; identifying a test compound that increases or decreases the level of activity of (N) as compared to the level of activity of (N) measured in the absence of the test compound; and assaying the identified test compound for tissue protective activity;
[0108] (b) contacting a test compound with a cell that is recombinantly engineered to express (N), where the cell or the recombinant cell is transformed with a nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence that is functionally linked to a promoter and encodes EPH-B4 and/or Ephrin A1 polypeptides; measuring the level of activity of (N) in the cell; and
[0109] (c) contacting a test compound with a tissue protective NEPOR receptor complex-expressing cell, where the cell is transformed with a nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence that encodes a reporter gene functionally linked to regulatory element associated with the activity of (N); identifying a test compound that increases or decreases the level of reporter gene expression relative to the level of reporter gene expression measured in the absence of the test compound; and assaying the identified test compound for a tissue protective activity.
[0110] The present disclosure further provides a method for identifying (I2) a compound that binds to (N), comprising:
[0111] (a) contacting (N) with a tissue protective NEPOR receptor complex ligand and/or EPH-B4 and/or Ephrin A1 ligand attached to a first label, and an equivalent amount of a test compound attached to a second label under conditions conducive to binding, removing unbound material from (N), and detecting the level of the first and second labels, where if the second label is present the compound binds (N) and if the level of the first label decreases relative to the level of the first label when the labelled ligand is contacted with (N) under conditions conducive to binding in the absence of a test compound after removal of unbound material, then a compound that binds to (N) is identified; or
[0112] (b) contacting a test compound with a ligand-binding tissue protective receptor NEPOR complex fragment comprising at least one EPH-B4 receptor or Ephrin A1 receptor, extracellular domain fused to a Fc fragment attached to a solid support, removing unbound test compounds from the solid support, and identifying the compound attached to the tissue protective NEPOR receptor complex fragment, such that a compound bound to the solid support is identified as a compound that binds to a tissue protective NEPOR receptor complex; and identifying (I3) a compound that modulates the binding of a tissue protective NEPOR receptor complex ligand to (N), or compound that modulates the interaction between (N) and tissue protective cytokine receptor complex ligand, involves (i) contacting a tissue protective NEPOR receptor complex ligand with (N) in the presence of one or more test compounds under conditions conducive to binding, and measuring the amount of tissue protective cytokine receptor complex ligand bound to (N).
[0113] The present disclosure further provides novel tissue protective NEPOR receptor complexes in particular EPH-B4 and/or Ephrin A1 containing complexes that can be used to provide an in vitro screening assay for NEPOR specific therapies; by measuring the binding of test compounds to the tissue protective NEPOR receptor complex in comparison to EPOR homodimer complexes. The test compound is labelled and binding of the labelled test compound to the receptor complexes detailed in FIG. 10 is measured by detecting the label attached to the test compound. Alternatively, a label free detection approach such as surface plasmon resonance may be employed. Such an approach can provide for novel neuroprotective therapies (i.e. NEPOR agonists) which lack haematopoietic activity. Such an approach can also provide for novel onco-therapies (i.e. NEPOR antagonists i.e. at least a and/or EPH-B4 and/or Ephrin A1 agonist) which do not inhibit haematopoiesis. The nature of such screening arrays involving recombinant receptor constructs is demonstrated in FIG. 10 (in the exemplified case as Fc constructs).
Use
[0114] (I1) is useful for identifying a compound that modulates NEPOR's tissue protective activity. (I2) is useful for identifying a compound that binds to NEPOR. (I3) is useful for identifying a compound that modulates the binding of a tissue protective NEPOR receptor complex ligand to (N), or compound that modulates the interaction between (N) and tissue protective cytokine receptor complex ligand (claimed). The compounds identified using (I1)-(I3) are useful for treating various conditions of the central and peripheral nervous systems (e.g., hypoxia, and/or ischemia, epilepsy, chronic seizure disorders, neurotoxin poisoning, septic shock, anaphylactic shock), neuropsychologic disorders (senile dementia, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, dermentia, multiple sclerosis, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Huntington's disease), inflammatory diseases (e.g., chronic bronchitis, rheumatoid arthritis, glomerulonephritis, encephalitis, meningitis, polymyositis), opthalamic diseases (e.g., angiitis, retinal ischemia), cardiovascular diseases (e.g., myocardial infraction, myocarditis), cardiopulmonary diseases (e.g., asthma, pulmonary thrombosis), respiratory diseases, kidney, urinary, and reproductive diseases (e.g., myasthenia gravis, diabetes, autoimmune diseases), bone diseases (e.g., osteopenia, Paget's disease), gastrointestinal diseases and endocrine and metabolic abnormalities.
[0115] The compounds identified using (I1)-(I3) are also useful for treating NEPOR positive cancers in particular and/or EPH-B4 and/or Ephrin A1 positive cancers including, head and neck cancer, breast cancer, liver cancer, colorectal cancer, small intestine cancer, leukemia, prostate cancer, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, endometrial cancer, stomach cancer, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, kidney cancer, Renal cell carcinoma (RCC), malignant melanoma, gallbladder cancer, bladder cancer, vulvar cancer, Penile cancer, testicular cancer, thymus cancer, Kaposi's sarcoma, eye cancer, adrenal gland cancer, brain cancer, cervical cancer, appendix cancer, adenoid cancer, bile duct cancer, urethral cancer, spinal cancer, Ewing's family of tumors, extragonal germ cell cancer, extra hepatic bile duct cancer, fallopian tube cancer, soft tissue cancers, bone cancer, Hodgkin's lymphoma, anal cancer, malignant mesothelioma, vaginal cancer skin cancer, central nervous system cancer (craniopharyngioma), pleuropulmonary blastoma, nasal cavity and paranasal sinus cancer transitional cell cancer of renal pelvis and ureter, pituitary gland cancer, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC), prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, brain cancer, bladder cancer, and salivary gland cancer. It is particularly preferred that the cancer is selected from the group of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC), prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, kidney cancer, brain cancer and bladder cancer.
NEPOR in Oncology Therapy
[0116] The hypothesis of the present disclosure is that EPO results in poorer survival outcomes (at least in some cancers) because of its effects on NEPOR activity i.e. in particular EPH-B4 and/or Ephrin A1 activity. Therefore, treatment of these NEPOR positive patients with a NEPOR targeted therapy is a prudent path to disease intervention. Specific approaches to antagonising NEPOR mediated survival signals include, for example:
[0117] a) NEPOR specific antagonistic antibodies. Such antibodies block and antagonise the extracellular regions of the molecule specifically associated with the mediation of NEPOR's cyto-protective activity.
[0118] b) NEPOR specific small-molecules. Such small molecules block and antagonise the extracellular regions of the molecule specifically associated with the mediation of NEPOR's cytoprotective activity.
[0119] c) high-affinity peptides which specifically target NEPOR to block and antagonise the is mediation of EPO's cytoprotective activity.
[0120] d) Small molecules targeting EPH-B4's intracellular tyrosine kinase domain (e.g. Dasatinib), including: 1: CID: 1095868, AKI-STT-00166305; ZINC00818264; BAS 09636496 IUPAC: N-[5-[(3-chlorophenyl)methyl]-1,3-thiazol-2-yl]-2-(4,6-dimethylpyr- imidin-2-yl)sulfanylacetamide.

[0121] Herein, CID is the compound identifier as defined in Pubchem.
[0122] e) Small molecules targeting and antagonising downstream components of the NEPOR signalling pathway, particularly EPH-B4 tyrosine kinase inhibitors.
[0123] f) Combination therapies involving one or more of approaches a-e.
[0124] g) The present disclosure also provides a combination therapy. Co-administration of EPO with an intracellular inhibitor of NEPOR signalling (e.g. Dasatinib) is proposed to maintain EPO signalling via EPOR (and thus promote haematopoiesis) while inhibiting survival of NEPOR positive tumour cells.
NEPOR Based Therapeutics to Treat Neuronal Insults
[0125] Without being bound by theory, the present disclosure provides that EPO is neuroprotective because of its effects on NEPOR activity, i.e. in particular and/or EPH-B4 and/or Ephrin A1 activity. Therefore, the present disclosure provides a method for treating ischemic stroke, trauma, epilepsy, neurodegenerative diseases, and cognitive dysfunction with an agonistic NEPOR targeted therapy. Specific approaches to positively enhance NEPOR mediated survival signals include:
[0126] a) NEPOR specific antibodies. Such antibodies bind and initiate/enhance the mediation of NEPOR's cyto-protective activity.
[0127] b) NEPOR specific small-molecules. Such small molecules bind and initiate/enhance the mediation of NEPOR's cytoprotective activity.
[0128] c) NEPOR-targeting EPO mutants and glycosylated versions thereof. Due to EPOR's strict conformational requirements for mediating signalling in response to EPO, the following to EPOR mutants (SEQ ID NO. 17-SEQ ID NO. 212.) favour binding to NEPOR as opposed to EPOR and thus primarily act as tissue protective.

[0133] d) NEPOR-targeting EPO chimera's. Such mutants bind and initiate/enhance the mediation of NEPOR's cytoprotective activity. For example, in a scenario where NEPOR constitutes an Ephrin A1 molecule (either as a homodimer or in heterodimeric association with EPOR), then chimeric proteins involving fusions of part of EPH-B4's Ephrin-ligand-binding domain and part of the EPO molecule may be developed as optimised binding partners. This implies fusing an N-terminal portion of EPO (derived from SEQ IDNO. 213) to a C-terminal portion of EPH-B4's Ephrin ligand binding domain (SEQ IDNO. 214), giving a sequence similar to SEQ IDNO. 215, or fusing an N-terminal portion of EPH-B4's Ephrin ligand binding domain (derived from SEQ ID NO. 214) to a C-terminal portion of EPO (SEQ ID NO. 213), giving a sequence similar to SEQ ID NO. 216.

Compounds in Combination with EPO
[0137] Such compounds, in combination with EPO, inhibit EPH-B4's tyrosine kinase activity while permitting EPOR mediated signalling/haematopoiesis. The following 101 compounds, either alone or in combination, inhibit the tyrosine kinase activity of EPH-B4 containing NEPOR dimers. Therefore, the present disclosure provides a combination therapeutic agent of a tyrosine kinase inhibitor in combination with EPO to provide the hematopoietic properties of EPO along with the prevention of NEPOR signalling so as to block the potentially fatal side effect of EPO to promote tumour survival and angiogenesis.

NEPOR: Combined Prognostic and Therapeutic Value in Cancer Treatment.
[0138] Without being bound by theory, the observation that EPO treated patients often have poorer survival outcomes (at least in some cancers) means that treatment of these patients with a NEPOR targeted therapy provides a pharmacogenetic approach to targeted cancer treatment providing tumour tissue can be assessed for expression of NEPOR. Such a therapeutic perspective changes the balance in favour of performing biopsies under all suitable circumstances--meaning for cancers where EPOR, EPH-B4 and/or EphrinA1 are typically expressed.
[0139] The present disclosure further provides a method for imaging tumour tissue that is susceptible to enhanced survival in response to EPO treatment, comprising administering an anti-NEPOR antibody or NEPOR binding peptide linked to a radio-ligand or other imaging agent, and measuring for tissue distribution and location of the radio-ligand or other imaging agent.
[0140] If a tumour is NEPOR positive, then EPO is contraindicated and a NEPOR targeted therapy is administered. If NEPOR is not present, then it is safe to administer EPO. Both outcomes stand to benefit patient outcome, regardless of whether a patient is NEPOR positive or negative. Again, this shifts the balance in favour of performing routine biopsies.
[0141] In one embodiment the invention relates to an siRNA molecule specific to EPH-B4 and/or Ephrin A1 for use in treating a cancer patient that is or will receive EPO.
EPH-B4 siRNAs and Antisense Oligodeoxynucleotides
[0142] Various EphB4-specific anti-sense phosphorothioate-modified oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) and siRNA may be synthesized from (e.g. by Qiagen. The most active antisense ODN and siRNA that knocks down EphB4 expression in the transiently transfected 293T cell line is chosen. The antisense ODN that may be used is AS-10 which spans nucleotides 1980 to 1999 with a sequence 5'-ATG GAG GCC TCG CTC AGA AA-3' (SEQ ID NO. 217). To eliminate cytokine responses, the cytosine at the CpG site may be methylated (AS-10M) without any loss in EphB4 knockdown efficiency (data not shown). Scrambled ODNs containing random nucleotide sequence and a similar CpG site, 5'-TAC CTG AAG GTC AGG CGA AC-3' (SEQ ID NO. 218), may be used as control. siRNA 465 corresponding to the sequences 5'-GGU GAA UGU CAA GAC GCU GUU-3' (SEQ ID NO. 219) and 3'-UUC CAC UUA CAG UUC UGC GAC-5' (SEQ ID NO. 220) may be used for RNA interference. Control siRNA may be generated by mutating three bases in this sequence to effectively abrogate EphB4 knockdown. This mutated siRNA (siRNAΔ) had the sequences 5'-AGU UAA UAU CAA GAC GCU GUU-3' (SEQ ID NO. 221) and 3'-UUU CAA UUA UAG UUC UGC GAC-5' (SEQ ID NO. 222). Additionally, siRNA directed against green fluorescent protein with sequences 5'-CGC UGA CCC UGA AGU UCA TUU-3' (SEQ ID NO. 223) and 3'-UUG CGA CUG GGA CUU CAA GUA-5' (SEQ ID NO. 224) may be used as a negative control.

[0152] A method also is provided for identifying compounds that modulate NEPOR's tissue protective signalling activity, comprising (a) contacting a test compound with the NEPOR receptor complex; (b) measuring the level of tissue protective activity initiated by NEPOR activation; (c) identifying a test compound which increases or decreases the level of tissue protective NEPOR complex activity; (d) assaying the identified therapeutics for tissue protective activity mediated via NEPOR; and (e) assaying the identified therapeutics for NEPOR inhibitory activity. In one embodiment, the tissue protective NEPOR receptor complex activity is measured by measuring the binding of the test compound to the NEPOR receptor complex. In another, the test compound is labelled and binding of the labelled test compound to the tissue protective NEPOR receptor complex is measured by detecting the label attached to the test compound. The tissue protective NEPOR receptor complex activity can be measured by measuring the binding of the test compound to the tissue protective NEPOR receptor complex.

EXAMPLES
Example 1
[0166] A variety of sequence analysis approaches were pursued, including the search for homologues of the EPO binding domain from EPOR, a domain analysis based method combined with text-mining, and EPO homology analysis followed by text-mining of resultant hits. Only that part of the human proteome exposed to the extracellular environment was investigated. This allowed a focus on homologies that were significant, though possibly overlooked within the context of a complete proteome analysis. This formed the XtraCell database. The XtraCell database performed a signal peptide and transmembrane prediction for the entire human proteome. All proteins possessing at least one of these features were stored in a first version of the extracellular database. Given that not all extracellular proteins actually possess either of these features, there was extracted a list of protein domains specific to the extracellular environment from a SMART (Simple Modular Architecture Research Tool--.SMART is a well-known protein domain database with a strong bias towards domains contained in signalling proteins.) These were then screened against the human proteome using the HMMER algorithm. HMMER is a freely distributable implementation of profile HMM software for protein sequence analysis--Profile hidden Markov models (profile HMMs) can be used to do sensitive database searching using statistical descriptions of a sequence family's consensus. All hits were added to the XtraCell database and the dataset made non-redundant. A final version of the XtraCell database was established for the purpose of these EPO specific analyses.
Example 2
[0167] This example illustrates a domain-based approach coupled with a text-mining and genome-wide analysis. The operating theory was that any novel EPO receptor involved in mediating EPO's neuroprotective effect might also possess the two membrane proximal fibronectin 3 (FN3) domains (as found in EPOR), whilst at the same time being hypoxia inducible. Such conserved domain architecture is compatible with both a heterodimeric complex containing EPOR and/or an independent hypoxia inducible homodimeric receptor. All proteins containing two membrane proximal FN3 domains from the human proteome (84 in all) were extracted and asked whether there was any evidence for their role in response to low oxygen conditions/ischaemia. (See FIG. 4) The latter analysis was performed using a text-mining approach that encompasses the use of comprehensive protein synonyms, and concepts such as hypoxia and ischaemia. Of the 84 proteins containing the 2FN3-TM domain composition, only four showed evidence for mediating response to low oxygen conditions: EPH-B4, IL6RB, TIE1 and GM-CSF. Apart from EPH-B4, the cellular role of each of these proteins has been studied and an important role in response to hypoxia established.
[0168] Direct examination of the EPH-B4 locus revealed that it directly juxtaposes the EPO locus, albeit on the opposite strand. (See FIG. 5) This close genomic association was conserved in all vertebrate genomes examined. The need for immediate response of cells to low oxygen conditions and thus the need to co-transcribe/-translate key effector molecules was seen. Moreover, such genomic co-localisation of functionally associated molecules is seen for other receptor:ligand partners (e.g. MST1 and its receptor MST1R: see worldwide web at ensembl.org/Homo_sapiens/contigview?gene=OTTHUMG00000136237; db=vega).
[0169] To examine this possibility in greater detail, we analysed the promoter, 5' UTR and 3' UTR regions of EPO, EPHB4 and EPOR in search of hypoxia inducible factor binding sites. Here we utilised the `match` algorithm from Genomatix, searching for strict conservation of the core binding site residues and at least 90% conservation of non-core residues. We found that the EPO and EPH-B4 loci possessed numerous hypoxia-inducible transcription factor binding sites. In contrast, the EPOR gene regulatory regions were found to be complete devoid of such HIF-1 binding sites, again hinting at a possible role for EPHB4 as a hypoxia inducible EPO receptor. (See FIG. 6)
Example 3
[0170] This example shows the homology-based approach using human extra-cellular database. Here we sought to directly identify regions of EPO binding activity in other proteins, by direct comparison to the EPO binding domain of EPOR. The region of EPOR responsible for EPO binding was thus extracted and used to identify homologies with proteins of the XtraCellDB. This specially developed database holds distinct advantages in that all homologies identified are to human extracellular proteins, thus avoiding the need to assess spurious homologies to irrelevant intracellular species. Analysis of resultant homologues revealed a striking homology to the Ephrin A1 protein, within the top four hits. Given what we had learned about EPH-B4's possible role in EPO signalling we decided to assess this homology in greater detail using the Swiss-model protein structure package. Here we employed information derived from the co-crystal structure of Ephrin A5 in association with EphB2 and compared it to EPO:EPOR co-crystal information. Conservation of key residues in structurally aligned positions allowed us to conclude a firm structural basis for association between Ephrin A1 and EPO. Moreover, the realisation that both EphrinA1 and EPHB4 possess a putative affinity for EPO, suggests a more exciting functional context for ephrin biology than heretofore recognised (See FIG. 7).
Example 4
[0171] This example provides wet lab or in vivo data that validates the bioinformatics analysis provide in Examples 1-3 herein. In vivo validation of EPH-B4's role in EPO signalling has focussed on the neuroprotective aspect of EPO's function, with a bias towards the hypothesis that EPH-B4 and EPOR are heterodimeric partners. The following table lists the validation experiments for which data are available (see Table 7).

[0172] Immunohistochemistry.
[0173] For immunofluorescence, sections of paraffin-embedded rat brain tissues (2 μm) were deparaffinated and microwaved (citrate buffer at 600 W for 15 min). Afterwards, sections were incubated simultaneously with the EpoR antiserum (1:200; sc-697, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) and the EphB4 antibody (1:100; AF446, R&D Systems) at 4° C. over night. After adding a biotinylated anti-goat secondary antibody (1:200; Dianova), sections were incubated with Streptavidin-coupled Alexa Fluor 555 (1:200; Invitrogen, Karlsruhe, Germany) and a FITC-coupled anti-rabbit secondary antibody (1:200; Dianova). The nuclei were counterstained with Hoechst 33342 (1:10,000; Molecular Probes). Controls for the stainings included omission of primary antibodies, fluorophor swapping, and single-fluorescence stainings. Images were obtained with an Olympus IX-81 microscope with narrow-bandwidth monochromator excitation (Polychrome IV, Till Photonics, Grafelfing, Germany) and appropriate filters.
[0174] Both EPHB4 and EPOR displayed a striking co-localisation when assessed in rat brain tissue sections. Without being bound by theory, this co-expression suggests functional coupling of both receptors.
[0175] Co-Immunoprecipitation.
[0176] The principle of an immunoprecipitation is an antibody (monoclonal or polyclonal) against a specific target antigen is allowed to form an immune complex with that target in a sample, such as a cell lysate. The immune complex is then captured on a solid support to which either Protein A or Protein G has been immobilized (Protein A or G binds to the antibody, which is bound to its antigen). The process of capturing this complex from the solution is referred to as precipitation. Any proteins not "precipitated" by the immobilized Protein A or G support are washed away. Finally, components of the bound immune complex (both antigen and antibody) are eluted from the support and analyzed by SDS-PAGE (gel electrophoresis), often followed by Western blot detection to verify the identity of the antigen.
[0177] Traditional immunoprecipitation involves the following steps:
1. Form the antigen-antibody complex (immune complex) by incubating specific antibody with the antigen-containing sample for 1 hour to several hours. 2. Capture the immune complex on an immobilized Protein A or Protein G agarose gel support by incubation for 0.5-2 hours. 3. Remove any non-bound protein (non-immune complex sample components) from the precipitated complex by washing gel support with additional sample buffer. 4. Boil gel support in reducing SDS-PAGE sample loading buffer. 5. Recover sample eluted in loading buffer from gel support and analyze by SDS-PAGE. 6. Perform Western blot analysis, probing with antigen-specific antibody.
[0178] In a co-immunoprecipitation the target antigen precipitated by the antibody "co-precipitates" a binding partner/protein complex from a lysate, that is, the interacting protein is bound to the target antigen, which becomes bound by the antibody that becomes captured on the Protein A or G gel support. The assumption that is usually made when associated proteins are co-precipitated is that these proteins are related to the function of the target antigen at the cellular level.
[0179] Assessment of a putative EPHB4:EPOR association using co-immmunoprecipitation showed that both proteins were physically associated. Here, FLAG-tagged EPOR was co-expressed with EPH-B4 in COS cells and then immunoprecipitated using an a-FLAG antibody. As can be seen from FIG. 9, EPHB4 was shown to co-immunoprecipitate in these experiments.
[0180] Human Fc Antibody Constructs.
[0181] The Fc conjugate approach is most appropriate when dealing with dimeric cell surface receptors. Here the extracellular portion of EPHB4/EPOR can be fused to an Fc fragment. This method has advantages due to its in vivo (therapeutic) viability and the fact that it optimally mimics the dimerised receptor state. FIG. 10 highlights the Human constructs that can be used to show EPHB4's/EphrinA1's affinity for EPO.
[0182] One of two alternatives can assay the interaction of the Fc constructs with EPO, including, for example, a protein array approach or a surface plasmon resonance analysis.
Example 5
Further In Vitro and In Vivo Validation of NEPORs Role in Mediating EPO Function
[0183] In these experiments we sought to determine the response to erythropoietin (EPO) treatment in a panel of ovarian cancer cell lines. This would be mediated by the expression of erythropoietin receptor (EPO as well as two receptors that potentially may be able to activate signaling pathways in response to EPO binding, EPH-B4 and Ephrin A1. It was first necessary to characterize the expression of these receptors in a panel of ovarian cancer cell lines. First we collected RNA from each cell line and reverse transcribed them into cDNA. Using specific primers for each receptor we analyzed their RNA expression. As evident in the figures the expression of EPOR and EPH-B4 RNA is different in different cell lines suggesting changes in transcriptional regulation during tumorigenesis no significant changes were seen in the EphrinA1. It was then necessary to determine protein expression of these receptors in the panel. Again we see significant differences in the expression of the EPOR and EPH-B4 receptors though they do not coincide with the RNA expression suggesting there is changes in post transcriptional regulation of these receptors in the cell lines. We then categorized these expression changes particularly with regard to the EPOR and EPH-B4 to then analyze the response to EPO treatment. We analyzed their response to chemotherapy in conjunction with EPO. We found that particularly in the HeyA8 ovarian cancer cell line that EPO was able to abrogate the apoptosis induced by docetaxel. It was then necessary to analyze the activation of signaling pathways known to be activated by these receptors in response to EPO treatment. Three cell lines were starved for two hours to isolate their response to EPO. Cell lines with higher expression (HeyA8 and HeyA8 MDR) of the EPOR demonstrated activation of the MAPK/ERK pathway while cell lines that expressed higher EPH-B4 (SKOV3ip1) demonstrated increased activation of the AKT and STAT5b signaling pathways. We then sought to determine a EPO dose that optimized its tumor promoting effect in vivo. Female nude mice were injected i.p. with HeyA8 MDR (positive for both EPOR and EPH-B4). At day eight the mice were treated with increasing doses of EPO (10, 50, 100 U) every two days. Treatment continued until tumors became evident, the mice were then sacrificed and the tumor weight was determined. We saw an increase in tumor weight as compared to control in the mice treated with 10 and 50 U EPO. The differential expression of EphB4 in cell lines as well as the activation of particular signaling pathways suggested that it would also mediate the tumor promoting effect in vivo. To determine this we again injected mice with HeyA8 MDR cell lines i.p. At day eight we began treatment with EPO (50 U 3× week) in conjunction with siRNA specific to EPH-B4 [sense: (SEQ ID NO: 266) 5'CAGCCAAUAGCCACUCUAA3'; antisense: (SEQ ID NO: 267) 5'UUAGAGUGGCUAUUGGCUG3']. As previously described EphB4 siRNA was able decrease tumor growth alone. Moreover, EPH-B4 siRNA also completely abrogated the EPO induced tumor growth.
Example 6
[0184] To further validate that EPHB4 is a novel EPO receptor a co-immunoprecipitation experiment was conducted using an anti-EPHB4 antibody to immuno-precipitate EPHB4 from cellular lysate.
[0185] In particular, cells (HeyA8 MDR and A2780cp20) were grown in RPMI-1640 supplemented with 15% fetal calf serum and gentamycin. At 70% confluency, the cells were treated with Epo (50U/ml) for 15 and 30 minutes. In addition, one group of cells were exposed to MG132 (10 μM) for 30 minutes. Cell lysates were prepared after washing twice with cold-PBS and incubated in modified radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer (RIPA). Protein concentrations were determined using a BCA Protein Assay Reagent kit (Pierce Biotechnology, Rockford, Ill.). For immunoprecipitation, 500 μg of cell lysate was incubated with 6 μl of primary antibody (EphB4-Abcam) overnight at 4° C. Protein A Sepharose beads were added, and the mixture was incubated for 3 hours at 4° C. Laemilli buffer was added to dislodge complexes from beads, and beads were separated by centrifugation at 3,500 g for 5 minutes at 4° C. The supernatant were then used for immunoblot analysis. Supernatants were subjected to 8% SDS-PAGE separation. Samples transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane electrophoresis (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, Calif.) were incubated with EphB4 (Abeam Co.) and Epo (R & D Systems) antibodies overnight at 4° C., detected with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated anti-mouse/rabbit IgG (Amersham, Piscataway, N.J.), and developed using enhanced chemiluminescence detection kit (Pierce Biotechnology).
[0186] The results are provided in FIG. 19. The data clearly demonstrates a direct association between EPHB4 and EPO, suggesting tight functional coupling of both proteins.
Example 7
[0187] Radiolabelled EPO is capable of binding to independent cell-lines to various degrees. The capacity of EPHB4 to mediate such binding was investigated in three different cell-lines with varying degrees of EPHB4 and EPOR expression.
[0188] Cells (HeyA8, HeyA8 MDR and A2780cp20) were grown in RPMI-1640 supplemented with 15% fetal calf serum and gentamycin. Cells were transiently transfected with control siRNA [sense: 5'UUCUCCGAACGUUGUCACGU3' (SEQ ID NO: 264); antisense: 5'ACGUGACACGUUCGGAGAA3' (SEQ ID NO: 265)], EphB4 siRNA [sense: 5'CAGCCAAUAGCCACUCUAA3' (SEQ ID NO: 266); antisense: 5'UUAGAGUGGCUAUUGGCUG3' (SEQ ID NO: 267)] or EpoR siRNA[sense: 5'CCGAAGAGCUUCUGUGCUU3' (SEQ ID NO: 262); antisense: 5'AAGCACAGAAGCUCUUCGG3' (SEQ ID NO: 263)]. After 72 hours, the cells were detached with 0.1% EDTA. 1×106 cells were diluted in 80 μl of binding buffer (MEM+20 mM HEpes, Ph 7.4, 0.1% BSA). They were incubated with 7.5 mM 125I-Epo at room temperature for 2.5 hours. Non-specific binding was determined by exposing the cells to 7.5 mM 125I-Epo and cold-Epo (×200). The cells were washed with PBS and resuspended in cushion buffer (10% BSA in PBS). After centrifugation, the tubes were frozen in dry ice, and the pellet clipped and placed in scintillation fluid. Total binding was calculated by subtracting non-specific from total binding.
[0189] The results, provided in FIG. 20, demonstrate that EPHB4 is indeed responsible for the bulk of EPO binding in certain cell types (e.g. A2780cp20).
Example 8
[0190] To demonstrate that EPHB4 is responsible for mediating tumour cell survival and reduced patient outcome in response to EPO treatment, immunohistochemical analysis of EphB4 and EpoR was conducted on tumour samples from 71 patients with high grade and high stage epithelial ovarian cancer. All patients were previously treated with surgery followed by taxane-platinum chemotherapy and EPO therapy.
[0191] Specifically, immunohistochemical analysis of EphB4 and EpoR was conducted on 4 μm-thick formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded epithelial ovarian cancer specimens. Slides were deparaffinized with xylene and decreasing concentrations of ethanol and rehydrated with PBS. Antigen retrival for EphB4 was performed using 1× Diva Decloaker (Biocare Medical, Concord, Calif.) under steam for 40 minutes followed by a 20 minute cool down at room temperature. Antigen retrival for EpoR was performed using 1× Borg Decloaker (Biocare Medical) under heat (125° C.) and pressure for 4 minutes followed by a 60 minute cool down at room temperature. Following antigen retrival, all sections were washed with PBS. Endogenous peroxidases were blocked with 3% hydrogen peroxide in PBS for 12 minutes at room temperature followed by nonspecific protein blocking with either 5% BSA in TBST for 10 minutes at room temperature for EphB4 or 5% normal horse serum for 20 minutes at room temperature for EpoR. Sections were then incubated with primary antibody to EphB4 (mouse monoclonal anti-human, 1:500 dilution, Abcam, Cambridge, Mass.) or EpoR (biotinylated mouse monoclonal anti-human, 1:25 dilution, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, Minn.) in the respectively blocking solution overnight at 4° C. Secondary amplification was performed using either the MACH4 polymer detection system (EphB4: Biocare Medical) or the 4plus Streptavidin AP label (EpoR: Biocare Medical). Visualization was achieved with 3,3'-diaminobezidine (DAB; Open Biosystems, Huntsville, Ala.). Slides were counterstained with Gill No. 2 hematoxylin (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, Mo.), washed with PBS for 1 minute and mounted with Universal Mount (Research Genetics, Huntsville, Ala.). Clinical samples were scored for staining with the EphB4 and EpoR antibodies by a board-certified pathologist who was blinded to the clinical outcome of the patients. EphB4 and EpoR expression was determined semi-quantitatively by assessing the distribution of the positive cells and the staining intensity in the tumor cells. The distribution of positive cells was rated as follows: 0 points, no staining; 1 point, focal or <25%; 2 points, 25-50%, 3 points, 50-75%; 4 points, 75-100%. The staining intensity was rated as focal or weak (1 point), moderate (2 points) or heavy (3 points). Points for intensity and distribution were multiplied, and an overall score ranging from 0 to 12 was assigned. An overall score <3 was deemed negative and >3 positive.
[0192] The results are depicted in FIGS. 21-23. Overexpression of EPHB4, but not EPOR was found to correlate with poorer clinical outcome in response to EPO treatment. High levels of EPHB4 expression with low levels of EPOR showed the worst median survival (2.53 years), while low levels of EPHB4 and high levels of EPOR showed the best median survival (7.67 years). The data supports the need for a theranostic test to assess EPHB4 expression prior to, and/or during, an EPO treatment regimen.
