The Use of the Proteolytic Enzyme Brinase to Produce Autocytotoxicity in Patients with Acute Leukemia and Its Possible Role in Immunotherapy1 [CANCER RESEARCH 32, 280-284, February 1972] The Use of the Proteolytic Enzyme Brinase to Produce Autocytotoxicity in Patients with Acute Leukemia and Its Possible Role in Immunotherapy1 R. Douglas Thornes, Patrick F. Deasy, Robert Carroll, Denis J. Reen,2 and J. Desmond MacDonell Department of Experimental Medicine, Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland [R. D. T.J, Our Lady's Hospital for Sick Children [P. F. D., R. C.J, and St. Laurence's Hospital, Dublin, Ireland ¡D.J.R., J. D. M.¡ SUMMARY investigated further in 3 patients and is described below. It was necessary to know whether brinase could be combined with Daily infusion of brinase (Protease 1 of Aspergillus oryzae) conventional antileukemic therapy or whether it could be of for 10 to 30 days in six patients (three children, three adults) value if given after the patient became resistant to with acute leukemia resulted in the production of conventional therapy. complement-dependent autocytotoxicity against leukemic The ability to reproduce autocytotoxicity was the main cells and lymphocytes and, in some instances, against platelets. purpose of this study, and this was accomplished on each of This appeared to be due to the production of autoantibody, the 5 occasions on which it was attempted in 3 patients. but its nature remains to be elucidated. The autocytotoxicity can be demonstrated in vivo by blood transfusion from a healthy donor or in vitro at 37° by Terasaki's MATERIALS AND METHODS microcytotoxicity test. The autocytotoxicity is transient, Hrinasc. Protease 1 of Aspergillus oryzae is produced by lasting from 3 to 15 days, but repeat courses of brinase, Astra AB, Sweden, as a fibrinolytic agent. Astra 1652 (Lot No. whether they are given alone or in combination with 17042). Brinase was given daily by i.v. infusion for 1 hr, as antileukemic drugs, produce further autocytotoxic previously described (20). The dosage was 2.5 mg/kg of body "antibodies." Remission was obtained in three of five patients weight in children and 100 to 350 mg daily in adults. who were given combination therapy and in the one patient Serum antiplasmin levels were used to estimate dosage, with acute myeloblastic leukemia who was treated by brinase which was varied to keep antiplasmin levels between 50 and alone. 10% of normal (100%). Full hematological analysis was performed before and after each infusion, as described (8). INTRODUCTION Bone marrow examinations were carried out weekly during therapy. A proteolytic enzyme similar to plasmin has been isolated Assay of Autocytotoxicity. This was performed by D.J.R. from Aspergillus oryzae (2) and is now called brinase (4). Like at the Transplantation-Immunology Unit of Jervis Street and plasmin, this enzyme can kill cancer cells in culture and, when St. Laurence's Hospitals, Dublin, under the direction of Dr. J. given i.V., it lowers antiplasmin levels. In patients with acute G. Devlin. leukemia, serum antiplasmin levels are abnormally high; the We used the microdroplet method of Terasaki and reduction of these antiplasmin levels to below 50% of normal McClelland (16) for the detection of lymphocytotoxic values rapidly decreases the number of circulating leukemic antibodies. Serum samples from patients were tested against cells (18). the patient's own lymphocytes. This test consists essentially of the incubation of the patient's serum for 2 hrs at 37°,in While investigating the therapeutic effects of brinase in 25 cases of leukemia complement-dependent autocytotoxicity 0.001-ml quantities with 1000 lymphocytes and 0.005 ml of against leukemic cells, lymphocytes and platelets were complement. The killed cells were identified by eosin dye observed in 4 patients (19). This autocytotoxicity was first inclusion or by complete cell lysis. A test was considered demonstrated in vivo by a dramatic fall in white cell and negative unless more than 20% of the cells were killed. In the platelet counts when whole-blood transfusion was given at the patients described below, all positive tests showed more than end of an 18-day course of brinase. The 22-year-old patient 30% killed and the negative tests showed less than 10%. had acute lymphoblastic leukemia (20).

Brinoseand Autocytotoxicity in Leukemic Patients were killed. The percentage of each cell type was not 7 or more days. Therefore, 3 more patients were specifically calculated, but from 40 to 80% of the mixed cells were killed treated with brinase to induce autocytotoxicity under on each occasion of testing during the period of cytotoxicity; different conditions.

These are described below. lymphocytes and leukemic cells appear to be affected by positive sera. Case 4 Controls. All patients had negative tests before and after the K. M. (treated by Dr. H. E. Counihan), a 45-year-old woman period when autocytotoxicity was present. with acute myeloblastic leukemia, was treated with brinase We used 3 controls for each test in which 0.9% NaCl and anticoagulated with warfarin sodium. The 1st course of solution replaced autologous serum or complement and brinase lasted 30 days and was interrupted 1 day in 7. The heat-inactivated complement replaced active complement. In daily dosage was 200 mg (total 5200 mg). Autocytotoxicity addition, the patient acted as his own control because was detectable for 7 days for 30 to 40% of her leukocytes. autologous serum taken when autocytotoxicity was not present did not kill with the patient's own cells or with other There was a partial remission which relapsed 5 weeks later. patients' cells. The 2nd course of brinase was 300 mg for 4 days. After 7 weeks, a 3rd course of 300 mg was given for 5 days. Complete The complement source used was nontoxic rabbit serum. remission for 2 months followed, but there was no evidence of Modifications of the hemolysin test (10) were used to estimate autocytotoxicity. After 10 weeks, 3 courses of 200 mg were complement levels (7) and complement fixation (11). given daily for 5 days without producing autocytotoxicity, but Cross-reaction Tests. We used the autocytotoxic serum from remission ensued for 13 months before bone marrow relapse. 1 patient (Case 5) to study cross-reaction with lymphocytes This condition was then treated by continuous daily infusions from patients with other forms of cancer.

After 10 days, autocytotoxicity cross-reaction tests 30 to 50% of the lymphocytes were killed. developed against 75% of the patient's lymphocyte When 10% or fewer lymphocytes were killed, the preparations (50% of these cells were completely lysed after 2 cross-reaction was considered negative. The control for these hr of incubation). Brinase was continued for another 15 days tests was serum from the same patient (Case 5) when and autocytotoxicity remained throughout this time, varying autocytotoxicity was absent. between 40 and 80%.

  • Enhanced Production of Streptokinase from Streptococcus Agalactiae EBL-31 by Response Surface Methodology
    Enhanced production of streptokinase from Streptococcus agalactiae EBL-31 by response surface methodology Arooj Arshad1*, Muhammad Anjum Zia1, Muhammad Asgher1, Faiz Ahmad Joyia2 and Muhammad Arif3 1Department of Biochemistry, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan 2Center of Agricultural Biochemistry and Biotechnology (CABB), University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan 3Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan Abstract: Streptokinase (SK) is a fibrinolytic protein used for the treatment of cardiovascular disorders. In the present study, enhanced production of SK was achieved by determining the optimum fermentation conditions for the maximum growth of Streptococcus agalactiae EBL-31 using response surface methodology (RSM). Four process variables (pH, temperature, incubation time and inoculum size) with five levels were evaluated in 30 experimental runs. Central composite rotatable design (CCRD) was employed to predict the effect of independent variables on SK activity. The statistical evaluation by ANOVA showed that the model was fit as the effect of single factors, quadratic effects and most of the interactions among variables. The value ofR2 (0.9988) indicated the satisfactory interaction between the experimental and predicted responses. Furthermore, the model F value (902.67) and coefficient of variation (1.92) clearly showed that the model is significant (p =>0.0001). The functional activity of SK was determined by spectrophotometric analysis and maximum SK production was obtained at pH-7.0, temperature- 37.5oC, an incubation time of 36 hours and 2.5 mL inoculum size. Hence it was concluded that the optimization of culture conditions through RSM increases the production of SK by 2.01-fold. Production of SK by fermentation is an economical choice to be used for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
