Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0019] FIG. 1 shows protein sequence alignment for wild type AMH, wild type BMP2, wild type BMP4, wild type BMP6, wild type BMP7, wild type BMP8B, and modified AMH constructs in which the glycosylation site is inserted. The amino acids replaced in the AMH wild type sequence are highlighted and surrounded by a rectangle. The glycosylation site in BMP2 and BMP4 is highlighted and encircled (glycosylation is on the N residue). The glycosylation site in BMP6, BMP7 and BMP8B is highlighted, and is not encircled or surrounded by a rectangle (glycosylation is on the N residue). The position of the alpha helix (according to an in silico prediction model) is marked by the presence of underlined characters.

[0020] FIG. 2 is a schematic representation of groups (i.e. types) of modifications to an AMH protein

[0021] FIG. 3 is an illustrative model of AMH actions in the ovary. AMH, produced by the granulosa cells of small growing follicles, inhibits initial follicle recruitment and FSH-dependent growth and selection of pre-antral and small antral follicles.

[0022] FIG. 4 is a graphical depiction of the relationship between circulating levels of AMH and number of basal antral follicles (BAFC) during the early part of the follicular cycle in a cohort of women undergoing evaluation at a reproductive endocrinology clinic. Thickness of the line indicates the 95% confidence interval at each BAFC count.

[0023] FIG. 5 is a graphical depiction illustrating the relationship between circulating levels of AMH and number of viable embryos developing from oocytes retrieved and fertilized in the context of IVF.

[0024] FIG. 6 is an illustrative representation of the steps involved in the processing and activation of a typical TGF-β protein. Prior to secretion, TGF-β family members associate into disulfide-bonded dimers. These can be homo- or heterodimers, depending upon the family member. Protein folding then results in the formation of noncovalent bonds within each monomer of the dimer. After proteolytic cleavage of the C-terminal ligand domain from the N-terminal portion of the protein, the disulfide and noncovalent bonds act to maintain the molecule in a fully folded, latent form. The protein is secreted in this form, but it is incapable of binding to receptors until the N-terminal region is dissociated from the ligand region.

[0025] FIG. 7 is an illustration of a schematic of a delivery system and process provided in certain embodiments herein.

[0026] FIG. 8 is an illustration of a schematic of exemplary elements and connectivities of a processing or computer system provided and/or utilized in certain systems or processes herein.

[0053] In general, pro-AMH (before cleavage) and processed AMH (post-cleavage, when the N- and C-terminals are still non-covalently bonded) are both present in the circulating serum of premenopausal women. The ratio between these two forms changes with age and within the same ovarian cycle. Certain methods provided in various embodiments herein are for and/or involve (e.g., in a method of controlling folliculogenesis, or other method herein) altering relative levels of these two forms of AMH (e.g., inclusive of variants thereof) by administering a composition comprising a modified TGF-β protein.

[0054] In certain embodiments, compositions of the disclosure include a modified protein of the TGF-β superfamily, such as a modified protein of the TGF-β superfamily involved in the ovarian cycle. In specific embodiments, the TGF-β superfamily protein is a protein produced in ovarian follicle (or oocytes therein) (e.g., AMH).

[0055] In specific embodiments, provided herein is a modified TGF-β protein (also referred to herein as a TGF-β protein variant). In more specific embodiments, the protein variant is modified, relative to the wild type, such as to modify (e.g., increase) the biological activity there and/or to improve the stability thereof (e.g., relative to the wild type). In certain instances, the modified biological activity includes modification of the protein's ability to bind to receptors and/or signal protein or hormone (e.g., AMH) levels. In some instances, prior to secretion, TGF-β family members, like AMH, associate into disulfide-bonded dimers (e.g., as illustrated in FIG. 6). These can be homo- or heterodimers, depending upon the family member. Protein folding then results in the formation of noncovalent bonds within each monomer of the dimer. After proteolytic cleavage of the C-terminal ligand domain from the N-terminal portion of the protein, the disulfide and noncovalent bonds act to maintain the molecule in a fully folded, latent form. The protein is secreted in this form, but it is incapable of binding to receptors until the N-terminal region is dissociated from the ligand region. The c-terminal domain of cleaved AMH elicits a strong downstream response.

[0056] As such, in some instances, post-translational modification of AMH and other TGF-β proteins regulates their biological activity. In certain instances, only the cleaved form of a TGF-β family member, including AMH, is biologically active. In some instances, the modification present in a protein variant provided herein comprises a substitution or insertion within or adjacent to a cleavage recognition site relative to the wild type AMH. In certain instances, the cleavage site that is modified (e.g., to improve the efficiency of the cleavage) is the cleavage site required for protein activation. In some instances, the cleavage site that is modified (e.g., to decrease the efficiency of the cleavage) is a cleavage site not required for protein activation. In certain embodiments, the modification is the insertion of, or substitution within, a glycosylation site, which in some instances results in a more stable cleaved or non-cleaved recombinant protein relative to the wild-type TGF-β protein. In some instances, the modification is the replacement of the N-terminal region of AMH with the N-terminal region of another member of the TGF-β superfamily. In some embodiments, the replacement of the N-terminal region of AMH with the N-terminal region of another member of the TGF-β superfamily, wherein the TGF-β family protein is selected from the group consisting of TGF-β1, TGF-β2, BMP15, GDF9, BMP2, BMP4, BMP6, BMP8B, GDF15, INHA, or INHBA. In some embodiments, the modification is the removal of the N-terminal peptide of AMH and the addition of elements to the C-terminal peptide that can stabilize the peptide. In some embodiments, the stabilizing elements can be the addition of the CTP of hCG or the addition of the Fc IgG1 heavy chain constant region. In some embodiments, the C-terminal peptide is stabilized using a polymer. In some embodiments, the polymer is a linear or branched polymer. Examples of suitable linear or branched polymers include linear or branched polyethylene glycol (PEG), linear or branched polypropylene glycol, linear or branched polyvinyl alcohol, linear or branched polylactic acid, linear or branched polyglycolic acid, linear or branched polyglycine, linear or branched polyvinyl acetate, a dextran, or other such polymers, or copolymers incorporating any two or more of the foregoing or incorporating other polymers as are known in the art. In some embodiments, the polymer is a PEG. In some embodiments, the comprises PEG branches. In certain instances, the modification is the replacement of the signal peptide in wild type AMH with the signal peptide in a different protein that is secreted with higher efficiency. In some instances, the modification is the insertion of a peptide tag to facilitate protein purification.

[0057] In some instances, the wild-type of AMH comprises an amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO: 1.

[0058] In specific instances, the wild-type amino acid sequence of AMH is:

(SEQ ID NO: 1) (see UnitProt accession P03971).

[0059] In some embodiments, compositions herein a modified form of a wild-type Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) protein comprising SEQ ID NO:1 comprising at least two modifications selected from the group consisting of: a) a substitution or insertion within or adjacent to a cleavage recognition site at amino acid positions 448 to 452 of SEQ ID NO: 1, wherein the cleavage recognition site comprises a sequence RAQRS (SEQ ID NO: 120); b) an insertion of a glycosylation site between amino acid positions 501 and 504 of SEQ ID NO: 1 having a sequence PRYG or between amino acid positions 504 and 507 of SEQ ID NO: 1 having a sequence GNHV; c) a substitution of an N-terminal region in AMH with an N-terminal region of TGF-β1, TGF-β2, BMP15, GDF9, BMP2, BMP4, BMP6, BMP8B, GDF15, INHA, or INHBA; d) a substitution of a signal peptide in AMH with a non-AMH signal peptide; e) an addition of a peptide tag within the AMH sequence; and f) an addition of a motif from a glycoprotein.

[0060] In certain embodiments, AMH contains a cleavage recognition site at amino acids 448-451, with the primary cleavage (marked with ‘/’ in the sequence) occurring between amino acid 451 and 452. In certain embodiments, the primary cleavage site comprises amino acids 448, 449, 450, 451 and 452. In certain embodiments, the secondary cleavage site (marked with ‘//’ in the sequence) is between amino acid 254 and 255 of SEQ ID NO: 1.

[0061] In certain embodiments, the sequence of the primary cleavage site in wild type AMH comprises the motif:

RAQRS 5

(SEQ ID NO: 120)

[0062] In some instances, the cleavage recognition site is targeted because only the cleaved form of a TGF-β family member is biologically active (e.g., capable of binding to receptors). In certain instances, a modification that makes the cleavage more efficient can enhance the bioactivity of the protein. In certain instances, enhancing the levels of the biologically active form decreases folliculogenesis. In specific embodiments herein is a method comprising administering (e.g., to a woman, such as a woman in need thereof) a modified protein of the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) superfamily comprising a substitution and/or insertion within and/or adjacent to a cleavage recognition site, such as to delay the onset of menopause, reduce the rate of follicle activation, follicle maturation, and/or reduce the rate of primordial follicle depletion. In some embodiments, the modified protein has a substitution within an amino acid motif flanking or within the cleavage recognition site. In certain embodiments, in the modified protein, the amino acids flanking and/or within the cleavage site in wild type AMH are replaced with the amino acids flanking and/or within the cleavage site in other members of the TGF-β superfamily. In certain embodiments, the members of the TGF-β superfamily from which the motif is derived, are known to be expressed and/or play a role in the ovary. In some embodiments, the members of the TGF-β superfamily from which the motif is derived are activated through proteolytic cleavage by a protease that is the same or similar to the one that activates AMH. For example, in certain embodiments, the mutation of the motif flanking, or within the cleavage site, comprises replacing the cleavage site of wild type AMH with the cleavage site found in the amino acid sequence of a different TGF-β superfamily member. In certain embodiments, the mutation of the motif flanking, or within, the cleavage site comprises a replacement of the cleavage site of wild type AMH with a cleavage site optimized for cleavage by proteolytic enzymes. In some embodiments, the cleavage site in wild type AMH is modified to be cleaved by furin or enterokinase. In some embodiments, the cleavage site in wild type AMH is modified to comprise a cleavage site from furin or enterokinase. In some embodiments, the cleavage site in wild type AMH is modified to comprise a cleavage site from TGFB1, BMP15, GDF9, BMP2, BMP4, BMP6, BMP7, BNMP8B, GDF15, INHBA, or combinations thereof. For example, in some embodiments, the modification of the motif flanking, or within the cleavage site, comprises one of the substitutions listed in Table 1:

(SEQ1 is the amino acid sequence of the wild type AMH protein; SEQ 3-14 and 166 are the amino acid sequences of modified AMH proteins; the targeted motif in the wild type protein, RAQRS (SEQ ID NO: 120), is marked in bold; the modified motifs in the mutated proteins are underlined).

[0066] In certain embodiments, the (e.g., therapeutic) agent provided herein, or in a composition or method provided herein, is a modified protein. In specific embodiments, the modified protein comprises, relative to a wild-type version of the protein, an insertion of, or substitution within, a glycosylation site. In some instances, modified protein (e.g., AMH) having such a sequence provides a more stable cleaved and/or non-cleaved protein (e.g., AMH, such as recombinant AMH). In certain embodiments, the mutation comprises one or more 3-4 amino acid insertions of a glycosylation site. In some embodiments, the addition of a glycosylation site comprises a substitution (relative to the wild-type protein) selected from the group consisting of: a) a substitution of the Proline (P) residue at position 501 with Leucine (L) or Methionine (M); b) a substitution of the Arginine (R) residue at position 502 with Asparagine (N); c) a substitution of Tyrosine (Y) at position 503 with Serine (S) or Alanine (A); d) a substitution of Glycine (G) at position 504 with Serine (S); and e) a substitution of Valine (V) at position 507 with Asparagine (N). In some embodiments, the insertion of the glycosylation site comprises a substitution of the Proline (P) residue at position 501 with Leucine (L) or Methionine (M). In some embodiments, the insertion of the glycosylation site comprises a substitution of the Arginine (R) residue at position 502 with Asparagine (N). In some embodiments, the insertion of the glycosylation site comprises a substitution of Tyrosine (Y) at position 503 with Serine (S) or Alanine (A). In some embodiments, the insertion of the glycosylation site comprises a substitution of Glycine (G) at position 504 with Serine (S).

In some embodiments, the insertion of the glycosylation site comprises a substitution of the Proline (P) residue at position 501 with Leucine (L) or Methionine (M); a substitution of the Arginine (R) residue at position 502 with Asparagine (N); a substitution of Tyrosine (Y) at position 503 with Serine (S) or Alanine (A); a substitution of Glycine (G) at position 504 with Serine (S); and a substitution of Valine (V) at position 507 with Asparagine (N). In some embodiments, the insertion of the glycosylation site comprises a substitution of 4 amino acids in the C-terminal region. In some embodiments, the substitution of the 4 amino acids in the C-terminal region comprises the substitution of PRYG with PNAS, PNSS, LNSS, MNAS, or GNHT. In some embodiments, the substitution of the 4 amino acids in the C-terminal region comprises the substitution of GNHV with GNHT.

[0067] In some instances, the glycosylation site is inserted upstream to an alpha-helix motif in the C-terminal domain, similarly to where some bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are glycosylated. In certain instances, the mutation comprises the replacement of amino acids 501-504 having a sequence PRYG (SEQ ID NO. 133) in the AMH wildtype sequence with a different motif containing a consensus sequence for glycosylation. In certain instances, the motif replacing the wild type sequence contains a consensus sequence for glycosylation comprising sequence PNAS (SEQ ID NO 138), or PNSS (SEQ IS NO 139). In some instances, the motif replacing the wild type sequence is the glycosylation site found in the C-terminal of a BMP protein. In some instances, the motif is a modification of the glycosylation site found in the C-terminal peptide of BMP2 and BMP4. In certain instances, the motif replacing the wild type sequence contains a consensus sequence for glycosylation comprising sequence LNSS (SEQ ID NO 136). In certain instances, the motif is a modification of the glycosylation site found in the C-terminal peptide of BMP6, BMP7 and BMP8B. In certain instances, the motif replacing the wild type sequence contains a consensus sequence for glycosylation comprising sequence MNAS (SEQ ID NO: 137). In other instances, the mutation comprises the replacement of amino acids 504-507 having sequence GNHV in the AMH wildtype sequence with a different motif containing a consensus sequence for glycosylation. In certain instances, the motif replacing the wildtype sequence contains a consensus sequence for glycosylation that is GNHT (SEQ IS NO 140). In some embodiments, the modified AMH protein comprises the amino acid sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOS: 2, 15-19, 69-73, 111, 112, 113, 115, 116, 118, or 170. In some embodiments, the modified AMH protein comprises an amino acid sequence having at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99% identity to any one of SEQ ID NOS: 2, 15-19, 69-73, 111, 112, 113, 115, 116, 118, or 170. In some embodiments, the modified AMH protein comprises the amino acid sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOS: 138, 139, 136, 137, or 140. In some embodiments, the modified AMH protein comprises an amino acid sequence having at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99% identity of any one of SEQ ID NOS: 138, 139, 136, 137, or 140.

(the targeted motif in the wild type protein (SEQ ID NO: 1) is marked in bold, the modified motif in the mutated protein is underlined)

[0073] In certain embodiments, the mutation comprises the replacement of the N-terminal region of the wild type AMH sequence (i.e. the peptide within the wild type AMH pro-protein sequence that is proteolytically cleaved to generate the C-terminal mature region, for example comprising at least 90% sequence identity to or according to SEQ ID NO: 145) with the N-terminal region from another member of the TGF-β superfamily (i.e. the region within the wild type form of the pro-protein sequence of another member of the TGF-β superfamily) that is proteolytically cleaved to generate the C-terminal mature region). In certain embodiments, the N-terminal region that replaces the one in wild type AMH, is the N-terminal region from another member of the TGF-β superfamily that is expressed and/or active in the ovary (e.g., GDF9, BMP15, BMP2, BMP4, BMP6, BMP7, BMP8B, TGFB, INHA, INHBA). In certain embodiments, the N-terminal region that replaces the one in wild type AMH, is the N-terminal region from another member of the TGF-β superfamily (e.g., TGFB1, TGFB2, BMP15, GDF9, BMP2, BMP4, BMP6, BMP8B, GDF15, INHA, or INHBA). In certain embodiments, the N-terminal region that replaces the one in wild type AMH is the N terminal region of TGF-β1, TGF-β2, BMP15, GDF9, BMP2, BMP4, BMP6, BMP8B, GDF15, INHA, or INHBA. In specific embodiments, the N-terminal region that replaces the one in wild type AMH, is the N-terminal region from another member of the TGF-β superfamily that has been shown to enhance secretion when chimeras (i.e., the pro-peptide associated with the mature region of two different TGF-β family members) are generated. In specific embodiments, the N-terminal region that replaces the one in wild type AMH, is the N-terminal region from TGFB1, for example comprising at least 90% sequence identity to or according to SEQ ID NO 146. In other embodiments, the N-terminal region that replaces the one in wild type AMH, is the N-terminal region from another member of the TGF-β superfamily that has been shown to enhance stability. In specific embodiments, the N-terminal region that replaces the one in wild type AMH is from GDF15. In certain embodiments, the region of AMH that gets replaced includes the N-terminal peptide from another TGF-β family member and the amino acid motif recognized by cleavage enzymes (cleavage site). In some embodiments, the motif includes the first amino acid of the C-terminal peptide of the TGF-β member from which the N-terminal peptide was obtained. In certain embodiments, the N-terminal region that replaces the one in wild type AMH is the N-terminal region from another member of the TGF-β superfamily in which the wild type signal peptide has been replaced with a signal peptide from a different protein. In certain embodiments, the signal peptide is the one in IgK comprising at least 90% sequence identity to or according to SEQ ID NO 164. In other embodiments, the N-terminal region that replaces the one in wild type AMH, is the N-terminal region from another member of the TGF-β superfamily that has been shown to enhance stability. In specific embodiments, the N-terminal region that replaces the one in wild type AMH, is the N-terminal region from TGFB2 comprising at least 90% sequence identity to or according to SEQ ID NO 147. In certain embodiments, the N-terminal region that replaces the one in wild type AMH is the N-terminal region from another member of the TGF-β superfamily in which the wild type signal peptide has been replaces with a signal peptide from a different protein (e.g. IgK) and the cleavage site has been replaced by a cleavage site optimized for cleavage by furin (e.g. RKKRRS) (SEQ ID NO 13). In some embodiments, the N-terminal region that replaces the one in wild type AMH comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NOS: 147, 148, 149, 174, 176, 178, 180, 182, or 184. In some embodiments, the N-terminal region that replaces the one in wild type AMH comprises an amino acid sequence having at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99% identity to SEQ ID NOS: 147, 148, 149, 174, 176, 178, 180, 182, or 184. In some embodiments, the modified AMH protein comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NOS: 173, 175, 177, 179, 181, 183, 185, 187, 189, 191, 193, 165, 26, 27, 81, or 82. In some embodiments, the modified AMH protein comprises an amino acid sequence having at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99% identity to SEQ ID NO: 173, 175, 177, 179, 181, 183, 185, 187, 189, 191, 193, 165, 26, 27, 81, or 82. For example, in certain embodiments, the mutation of the N-terminal region of the wild type form of AMH comprises one of the substitutions listed in Table 4:

(the targeted motif in the wild type protein (SEQ ID NO: 1) is marked in bold, the modified motif in the modified protein is underlined).

[0075] In certain embodiments, the mutation comprises the addition of a polypeptide protein tag that can be used to purify the recombinant protein once it is produced. In some embodiments, the tag is an epitope tag. In some embodiments, the tag is an affinity tag (i.e. a motif that can be easily purified using affinity techniques). In some embodiments, a Strep-tag is inserted in the AMH sequence. In some embodiments, a FLAG-tag is inserted in the AMH sequence. In some embodiments, a polyhistidine tag is inserted in the AMH sequence. For example, in certain embodiments, the tag inserted in the AMH sequence is one of the following tags (Table 5): Strep-tag comprising at least 90% sequence identity to or according to SEQ ID NO: 150, FLAG-tag comprising at least 90% sequence identity to or according to SEQ ID NO: 151, polyhistidine tag comprising at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 194. In some embodiments, the tag inserted comprises an amino acid sequence having at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99% identity to SEQ ID NOS: 150, 151 or 194. In some embodiments, the modified AMH protein comprises SEQ ID NOS: 169, 28, 29, or 195. In some embodiments, the modified AMH protein comprises an amino acid sequence having at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99% identity to SEQ ID NOS: 169, 28, 29, or 195. In certain embodiments, the tag is inserted in the wild type form of AMH. In certain embodiments, the tag is inserted in a mutated form of AMH and used in combination with one or more other modifications. In certain embodiments, the tag is inserted after (i.e., on the C-terminal side of) the primary cleavage site so that the C-terminal region of AMH or modified AMH can be purified after cleavage.

(the targeted motif in the wild type protein (SEQ ID NO: 1) is marked in bold, the modified motif in the mutated protein is underlined)

[0077] In certain embodiments, the mutation comprises the replacement of the signal peptide in the wild type form of AMH with the signal peptide from a different protein. In specific embodiments, the signal peptide from a protein that is naturally secreted with high efficiency improves the secretion of the mutated protein to which the peptide is added. In some embodiments, the peptide of wild type AMH that gets replaced comprises residues 1-24 of the wild type protein and comprises the amino acid sequence: MRDLPLTSLALVLSALGALLGTEA. In other embodiments, the peptide of wild type AMH that gets replaced comprises residues 1-25 of the wild type protein and comprises the amino acid sequence: MRDLPLTSLALVLSALGALLGTEAL. For example, in certain embodiments, the signal peptide of wild type AMH is replaced with the signal peptide from one of the following proteins (Table 6): Azurodicin, IL2, IL6, CD5, Immunoglobulin heavy chain (Ig-HC), Immunoglobulin light chain (Ig-LC) (trypsinogen, prolactin, elastin, Human influenza hemagglutinin, IgKappa. In some embodiments, the signal peptide of wild type AMH is replaced with the signal peptide generated by a hidden Markov model (HMM). In some embodiments, the signal peptide of wild type AMH is replaced with a signal peptide comprising an amino acid having at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99% identity to any of SEQ ID NOS: 153-164. In some embodiments, the modified AMH protein comprises the amino acid sequence of any of SEQ ID NOS: 30-53 or 82-119. In some embodiments, the modified AMH protein comprises an amino acid sequence having at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99% identity to any of SEQ ID NOS: 30-53 or 82-119.

(the targeted motif in the wild type protein is marked in bold, the modified motif in the mutated protein is underlined)

[0079] In some embodiments, the mutated protein is a polypeptide comprising the C-terminal peptide of wild type AMH (Table 7). In some embodiments, the protein comprising the C-terminal peptide of AMH is lacking the N-terminal portion of AMH. In some embodiments, the C-terminal peptide of AMH is linked to a signal peptide (e.g., IL2 signal peptide or HMM signal peptide) that allows and/or facilitates the secretion of the modified protein. In some instances, the C-terminal peptide of AMH linked to a signal peptide is linked to the sequence of the fragment crystallizable (Fc) IgG1 heavy chain constant region to facilitate the purification of the protein. In some embodiments, the C-terminal region of AMH is linked to the C-terminal peptide (CTP) of hCG protein. In some embodiments, the CTP is attached to the C-terminal peptide of AMH through a linker (e.g. SSS or SSSS). In some embodiments, the C-terminal peptide is stabilized using a polymer. In some embodiments, the polymer is a linear or branched polymer. In some embodiments, the polymer is a PEG. In some embodiments, the polymer comprises PEG branches.

[0085] In certain embodiments, the mutations described herein modify (e.g., increase) the activity of the protein and/or stabilize (e.g., assist in retaining the bioactivity and/or biologically active form) the protein, and/or increase the secretion of the protein, and/or reduce the production of protein by-products generated by cleavage at secondary sites. In specific embodiments, the protein is AMH, or variant thereof, and increasing AMH, or variant thereof, levels controls (e.g., delays) ovarian senescence and/or the onset of menopause (or menopausal transition), alleviates menopause (or menopausal transition) symptoms and/or treats premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), protect ovarian reserve and function during gonadotoxic treatments, such as by reducing the rate of follicle activation, follicle maturation and/or (e.g., primordial) follicle depletion.

[0086] Provided in specific embodiments herein is a process of reducing ovarian senescence and the rate of follicle loss, such as in a woman in need thereof. In specific embodiments, the process comprises administering an agent described herein to an individual (e.g., a woman in need thereof). In certain embodiments, the follicle loss occurs via folliculogenesis and/or (e.g., primordial) follicle depletion (such as depletion of ovarian reserve). In some instances, significant follicle loss (e.g., through a combination of maturation and depletion), correlates with the onset of menopause. In certain instances, significant follicle loss (e.g., through a combination of maturation and depletion) correlates with the onset of menopausal transition (e.g., upon reaching a critical threshold of follicle population).

[0087] In various embodiments, an agent administered according to a process herein is administered utilizing any suitable administration technique or formulation. Moreover, in some embodiments, an agent provided herein is formulated in any suitable form, such as described herein. In certain embodiments methods of the disclosure comprise delivery or administration of any of the agents or compositions described herein. In some embodiments, administering agents or compositions described herein comprise administering the agent or composition by intradermal injection, subcutaneous injection, transdermal delivery, subdermal delivery, or transfusion. In some embodiments, administration of the agent or composition is achieved via a slow-release subdermal device.

[0088] In certain embodiments, methods provided herein further comprise assessing age, basal antral follicle count, follicle stimulating hormone level, estradiol, luteinizing hormone (LH), progesterone, basal body temperature, and/or anti-Müllerian hormone levels. In some embodiments, timing and/or dose of administration are determined, at least in part, based on age, basal antral follicle count, follicle stimulating hormone level, estradiol, luteinizing hormone (LH), progesterone, basal body temperature, and/or anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels. In some embodiments, administration of the agent (or composition comprising the same) occurs daily. In certain embodiments, any suitable amount of agent is administered, such as about 0.5 mg to about 1 mg of the agent. In certain embodiments, the amount of agent and/or composition administered is an amount sufficient to regulate (e.g., reduce) folliculogenesis, regulate (e.g. delay) menopause (e.g., in an ongoing dosing regimen), alleviate menopause or menopausal transition symptoms in a woman (e.g., in need thereof), and/or other beneficial effects described herein.

[0089] In certain embodiments, methods provided herein further comprise assessing the genetic risk of a women of manifesting a premature depletion of ovarian reserve to identify women who can benefit of the treatment with the agent. In specific embodiments, women with mutations in genes critical for folliculogenesis and/or ovarian biology (e.g., AR, BMP15, ESR1, FIGLA, FMR1, FOXE1, FOXL2, FOXO3, FSHR, GALT, GDF9, INHA, NOBOX, NR5A1, SYCP2L, TGFBR3) can be eligible to be treated with the agent.

[0090] In certain embodiments, provided herein is a modified protein of the TGF-β superfamily or a composition comprising a modified protein of the TGF-β superfamily (e.g., and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient). In certain embodiments, the TGF-β superfamily protein is an anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) (e.g., the wild type version of AMH, SEQ ID NO: 1, or a variant thereof)

[0091] In certain embodiments, the modified protein (e.g., a variant of AMH) comprises one or more of the following mutations: an insertion or deletion (indel), a substitution relative to the wild-type version of the protein, and the addition of a motif from the wildtype sequence of a member of the TGF-β superfamily or the glycoprotein hormone family. In certain embodiments, the insertion or deletion comprises a substitution within or adjacent to a cleavage recognition site. In certain embodiments the substitution comprises a substitution within an amino acid motif, in some instances within or flanking a cleavage recognition site of the wild-type protein. In some instances, the mutation comprises insertion of, or substitution within, a glycosylation site. In some embodiments, the mutation comprises the replacement of the N-terminal peptide of AMH with the N-terminal peptide of a different member of the TGF-β superfamily. In certain embodiments, the mutation comprises the replacement of the signal peptide of AMH with the signal peptide from a different protein. In some embodiments, the mutation comprises the insertion of a peptide tag that, for example, facilitates the purification of the recombinant protein. In some embodiments, a combination of the modifications described herein are introduced in the same protein.

[0092] In certain embodiments, the modified (e.g., TGF-β superfamily) proteins have increased activity, relative to the naturally occurring protein, in a subject. In certain embodiments, the modified (e.g., TGF-β superfamily) proteins have increased stability and half-life, relative to the naturally occurring protein. In certain embodiments, the modified proteins are purified with higher efficiency and/or are produced with a decreased amount of byproducts (e.g., peptides generated by cleavage at secondary sites within the protein sequence).

[0093] In certain embodiments, the modified protein is further post-translationally modified by the covalent or non-covalent attachment of or amalgamation of polyethylene glycol (PEG) polymer chains. In some embodiments, the PEGylation of molecules reduces their immunogenicity or antigenicity. In other embodiments, the PEGylation of molecules increases water solubility and prolongs their circulatory time by reducing renal clearance.

[0094] In certain embodiments, provided herein is a recombinant gene that encodes a modified protein, such as described herein (e.g., a recombinant protein of the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) superfamily containing a mutation relative to a wild-type version of the protein). In some instances, the gene is provided as part of a microbial (e.g., bacterial, viral) vector (e.g., a plasmid or an adeno-associated virus (AAV)). In some instances, the protein is expressed in culture, e.g., within E. coli, a Lactobacillus, yeast, or other suitable organism. In some instances, the recombinant gene is delivered to an individual (e.g., woman in need thereof) (e.g., as a plasmid in a liposome or other nanoparticle) (e.g., to provide expression of the modified protein in the individual, such as in the cells thereof).

[0095] In some embodiments, any composition provided herein (e.g., comprising a protein or a gene) comprises a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier. In some embodiments, compositions provided herein comprise a modified protein (or nucleic acid), are suspended in a saline solution and, e.g., are contained in an intravenous (IV) bag.

[0096] In specific embodiments, methods provided herein comprise administering to a subject (e.g., a woman in need thereof) a recombinant protein comprising a modified protein of the TGF-β superfamily in an amount sufficient to regulate folliculogenesis, decrease ovarian senescence, delay menopause and/or alleviate menopause symptoms in a patient.

[0097] In certain embodiments, various methods provided herein comprise the administration of a therapeutically effective amount of an agent, such as provided herein (e.g., a modified protein provided herein). In some embodiments, the agent is administered to a woman who has a basal antral follicle count (BAFC), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), luteinizing hormone (LH), progesterone, basal body temperature, and/or estradiol level that deviate from (e.g., are below or are above) a threshold level. In some embodiments, the BAFC, FSH, AMH, LH, progesterone, basal body temperature, and/or estradiol levels are ascertained in any suitable manner and from any suitable biological sample, such as tissue, blood, or saliva or through a device such as a thermometer or ultrasound. In some embodiments, the therapeutically effective amount of agent administered is based, at least in part, on (1) whether one or two or three or four or five or six or all seven of BAFC, FSH, AMH, LH, progesterone, basal body temperature, and/or estradiol deviate from (e.g., are below) a threshold level, and/or (2) how much the ascertained levels of any one or more of BAFC, FSH, AMH, LH, progesterone, basal body temperature, and/or estradiol deviate from (e.g., how far below) the threshold level. In some embodiments, the therapeutically effective amount of agent is based, at least in part, on one or more characteristics (e.g., a symptom or symptom assessment (e.g., score) associated with menopause and/or menopausal transition), such as based on mood, body mass index (BMI), change in weight, hot flashes, water retention, appetite, menstrual cycle regularity, sex drive, sleep metrics, energy level, or the like, or any combination of one or more thereof. In some embodiments, methods provided herein further comprise steps of assessing such levels (or scores related thereto), such as to determine the appropriate therapeutically effective amount of agent to administer to the individual (e.g., as is described in more detail herein).

[0098] Also, provided in certain embodiments herein are systems for monitoring and/or providing therapies provided herein. In some embodiments, provided herein are systems for regulating or facilitating the regulation of folliculogenesis, ovarian senescence, menopause, menopausal transition, or a symptom associated therewith in an individual. In some embodiments, provided herein is a system for expanding the fertility window of an individual (woman), such as in accordance with a method provided herein.

[0107] In general, pro-AMH (before cleavage) and processed AMH (post-cleavage, when the N- and C-terminals are still non-covalently bonded) are both present in the circulating serum of premenopausal women. The ratio between these two forms changes with age and within the same ovarian cycle. Certain methods provided in various embodiments herein are for and/or involve (e.g., in a method of controlling folliculogenesis, or other method herein) altering relative levels of these two forms of AMH (e.g., inclusive of variants thereof) by administering a composition comprising a modified TGF-β protein.

[0108] In certain embodiments, compositions of the disclosure include a modified protein of the TGF-β superfamily, such as a modified protein of the TGF-β superfamily involved in the ovarian cycle. In specific embodiments, the TGF-β superfamily protein is a protein produced in ovarian follicle (or oocytes therein) (e.g., AMH).

[0109] In specific embodiments, provided herein is a modified TGF-β protein (also referred to herein as a TGF-β protein variant). In more specific embodiments, the protein variant is modified, relative to the wild type, such as to modify (e.g., increase) the biological activity there and/or to improve the stability thereof (e.g., relative to the wild type). In certain instances, the modified biological activity includes modification of the protein's ability to bind to receptors and/or signal protein or hormone (e.g., AMH) levels. In some instances, prior to secretion, TGF-β family members, like AMH, associate into disulfide-bonded dimers (e.g., as illustrated in FIG. 6). These can be homo- or heterodimers, depending upon the family member. Protein folding then results in the formation of noncovalent bonds within each monomer of the dimer. After proteolytic cleavage of the C-terminal ligand domain from the N-terminal portion of the protein, the disulfide and noncovalent bonds act to maintain the molecule in a fully folded, latent form. The protein is secreted in this form, but it is incapable of binding to receptors until the N-terminal region is dissociated from the ligand region. The C-terminal domain of cleaved AMH elicits a strong downstream response.

[0110] As such, in some instances, post-translational modification of AMH and other TGF-β proteins regulates their biological activity. In certain instances, only the cleaved form of a TGF-β family member, including AMH, is biologically active. In some instances, the modification present in a protein variant provided herein comprises a substitution or insertion within or adjacent to a cleavage recognition site relative to the wild type AMH. In certain instances, the cleavage site that is modified (e.g., to improve the efficiency of the cleavage) is the cleavage site required for protein activation. In some instances, the cleavage site that is modified (e.g., to decrease the efficiency of the cleavage) is a cleavage site not required for protein activation. In certain embodiments, the modification is the insertion of, or substitution within, a glycosylation site, which in some instances results in a more stable cleaved or non-cleaved recombinant protein relative to the wild-type TGF-β protein. In some instances, the modification is the replacement of the N-terminal region of AMH with the N-terminal region of another member of the TGF-β superfamily. In certain instances, the modification is the replacement of the signal peptide in wild type AMH with the signal peptide in a different protein that is secreted with higher efficiency. In some instances, the modification is the insertion of a peptide tag to facilitate protein purification.

[0111] In some instances, the wild-type of AMH comprises an amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO: 1

[0112] In specific instances, the wild-type amino acid sequence of AMH is:

[0128] In certain embodiments, the modified protein comprises one of the following mutations: an insertion or deletion (indel), a substitution relative to the wild-type version of the protein, and the addition of a motif (e.g., from the wildtype sequence of a member of the glycoprotein hormone family). In certain embodiments, the insertion or deletion comprises a substitution within or adjacent a cleavage recognition site. In certain embodiments the substitution comprises a substitution within an amino acid motif, in some instances within or flanking a cleavage recognition site of the wild-type protein. In certain embodiments the mutation comprises insertion of, or substitution within, a glycosylation site. In some embodiments, the mutation comprises the replacement of the N-terminal peptide of AMH with the N-terminal peptide of a different member of the TGF-β superfamily. In certain embodiments, the mutation comprises the replacement of the signal peptide of AMH with the signal peptide from a different protein. In some embodiments, the mutation comprises the insertion of a peptide that, for example, facilitates the purification of the recombinant protein.

[0129] In some instances, the enzymes responsible for the cleavage of pro-TGF-β proteins are members of the subtilisin/kexin-like proprotein convertases (SPCs) such as PC5 (encoded by PCSK5), Furin (encoded by PCSK3) and PACE4 (PCSK6). Typically, the recognition site for these enzymes is made up of 4 amino acids corresponding to a RXXR consensus motif (where X=any amino acid residue) (e.g., which is generally conserved among all members of the TGF-β family). For example, in AMH, this sequence is RAQR. Typically, the amino acid sequence flanking the cleavage recognition site regulates the efficiency of pro-protein cleavage.

[0130] In some embodiments, methods provided herein comprising administering a modified protein described herein for a purpose described herein, such as wherein administration (and/or the presence of the modified protein in vivo following administration) enhances the cleavage of the respective TGF-β pro-protein and/or increases the levels of the biologically active form. In some embodiments, provided herein are methods of enhancing the cleavage of the respective TGF-β pro-protein and/or increasing the levels of the biologically active form (e.g., by administration of an agent or composition provided herein). In certain embodiments, the agent or composition is administered to regulate (e.g., decrease) folliculogenesis to treat ovarian senescence.

[0131] In certain embodiments, the modified protein comprises a mutation of a motif of the wild type protein, such as flanking or within the cleavage site, such as one of the substitutions listed in Table 1.

[0132] In certain specific embodiments, the mutation or modification of a protein comprises an insertion of a glycosylation site, for example a 3-4 amino acid insertion replacing residues in the wild type AMH sequence. The naturally occurring AMH amino acid sequence does not include an n-glycosylation site upstream of the alpha-helix in the C-terminal region. BMP2, BMP4, BMP6, BMP7 and BMP8B have an n-glycosylation upstream of the alpha-helix in the C-terminal region (FIG. 1). In some instances, an n-glycosylation site similar to the site found in BMP2, BMP4, BMP6, BMP7 or BMP8B is added upstream of an alpha-helix and/or improve the stability (e.g., and, thereby, abundance) of a mature protein. In some instances, a modified AMH protein having such a sequence generates a more stable cleaved or non-cleaved recombinant AMH. In specific embodiments, the insertion of the glycosylation site occurs between amino acid 501 and 504 in the AMH wildtype sequence (PRYGNHV, SEQ ID NO: 133). In some embodiments the insertion is LNSS (SEQ ID NO 136), or MNAS (SEQ ID NO 137), or PNAS (SEQ ID NO 138), or PNSS (SEQ ID NO 139). In specific embodiments, the insertion of the glycosylation site occurs between amino acid 504 and 507 in the wild type sequence (PRYGNHV, SEQ ID NO: 133) and the insertion is GNHT (SEQ ID NO: 140).

In certain embodiments, the modification comprises the replacement of the amino acid before the cleavage site with a different amino acid. In specific embodiments, the modification comprises replacing the Arginine (R) before the cleavage with a Serine (S), or with a Glutamine (Q) or with an Alanine (A)

EXAMPLES

Example 1. Modified Proteins

[0213] Multiple modified polypeptides (proteins) of Table 8 were generated and will be used for subsequent experiments.

Example 2: Stability

[0214] Wild type and modified polypeptides (proteins) of Table 8 are manufactured and tested for stability, including stability in saline under normal and accelerated conditions. Modified proteins are expressed, purified, and evaluated for stability. Sequences are cloned into expression vector (e.g. pcDNA3.4). Constructs are transfected into a mammalian cell line (e.g. CHO, HEK293T, Expi293, ExpiCHO cells) and generate a stable cell line for up to 14 days in line with the literature (Papakostas et al., Protein Expr Purif. 2010 March; 70(1): 32-38).

[0215] For ExpiCHO cells the following procedures are used to generate proteins. Briefly, the ExpiCHO-S™ culture is diluted to a final density of 6×106 viable cells/mL with fresh ExpiCHO™ Expression Medium, pre-warmed to 37° C. The flasks are swirled gently to mix the cells. ExpiFectamine™ CHO/plasmid DNA complexes are then prepared using cold reagents (4° C.), as described below. The ExpiFectamine™ CHO Reagent bottle is gently inverted. 4-5 times to mix. Plasmid DNA (in 20 ul-600 ul volume) is diluted with 1 mL-30 mL cold OptiPRO™ medium. The tube is mixed by swirling and/or by inversion. DNA amount to be used is 0.5 ug-1.0 ug plasmid DNA per mL culture volume to transfect. 80 uL-2400 uL ExpiFectamine™ CHO Reagent is diluted with 920 ul-28 mL OptiPRO™ medium and is mixed by swirling the tube and/or by inversion or gentle pipetting 2-3 times. The diluted ExpiFectamine™ CHO Reagent is added to diluted DNA. Mix by swirling the tube or by inversion. ExpiFectamine™ CHO/plasmid DNA complexes (from above) is incubated at room temperature for 1-5 minutes, and then the solution is slowly transferred to the culture flask from Step 4, swirling the flask gently during addition. The cells are incubated the cells in a 37° C. incubator with a humidified atmosphere of 8% CO2 in air on an orbital shaker.

[0216] After 1 day of culture, 150 uL-4500 uL ExpiFectamine™ CHO Enhancer and 6 mL-180 mL ExpiCHO™ Feed is added with gently swirling the flask during addition. The culture flask is returned to the 37° C. incubator with a humidified atmosphere of 8% CO2 with shaking. Protein is then harvested 8-14 days post-transfection.

[0217] Expression of each construct for stability is analyzed by SDS-PAGE, Western blot, and small scale purification. Protein is purified using ammonium sulphate precipitation, with addition of ammonium sulphate to separate cuts (e.g. 20-30%) in order to precipitate out unwanted proteins. Ammonium sulphate powder is added slowly to the protein and then left for 30 min mixing at 4° C. The sample is then spun down and the recovered supernatant contains the protein of interest. The supernatant is then loaded to an ion exchange (IEX) column and the protein is washed and eluted at a salt gradient, followed by a wheat-germ affinity resin. Proteins containing tags (e.g. strep tag, flag tag) are be purified appropriate affinity columns, for example Strep-Tactin column or anti-FLAG antibodies. Following the expression and purification of the modified proteins, each protein is subjected to thermal stressed aggregation testing using industry-standard techniques. Quality of analogs is determined according to the following methods: SEC (MALS), Reduced and non-reduced SDS-PAGE, Whole mass analysis, Stability in PBS, Compare 4° C. vs 40° C. for up to a month assessing multimerization by SEC, Freeze/thaw stability and solubility. Large scale protein expression is used to generated modified proteins for experiments including assays for in vitro potency, efficacy, and stability.

Example 3: Efficacy

[0218] Wild type and stable modified polypeptides (proteins) (from Example 1) of Table 7 are evaluated for effect.

[0219] Specifically, in vitro potency evaluation of modified proteins is evaluated using epithelial ovarian cancer cell lines that express AMHR2 (human cell lines e.g. SKOV3, OVCAR3, OVCAR8 and mouse cells lines e.g. MOVCAR5009) that are cells are responsive to activity of modified proteins through AMHR2 and thus are a readout of modified protein efficacy. Efficacy of the protein is analyzed by the activity for inhibition of proliferation by after 72 hours of treatment with modified proteins using XTT proliferation assay. Efficacy of the protein is analyzed by the activity for stimulation of apoptosis at 48 hours and 72 hours of treatment with modified proteins using Caspase Glo 3/7 apoptosis assay). Efficacy of the protein is analyzed by expression of Stem cell factor (SCF) at 48 and 72 hours of treatment with modified protein by using TaqMan rt-qPCR using primers for SCF.

[0220] In vivo pharmacokinetics is also performed. Two routes of administration (i.p and s.c.) are evaluated with collection of plasma serially at 1, 2, 4, 7, and 24 hours post dosing. The plasma levels of AMH analogs are evaluated by ELISA and used to determine pharmacokinetic parameters including half-life, Cmax, and Tmax. The modified proteins are also tested for ex vivo engagement using phospho-Smad activation assays.

[0221] An in vivo ovarian folliculogenesis/senescence mouse model is utilized to analyze effects of wild type and modified proteins. Establish effect and time course of suppression of folliculogenesis using wild type and modified proteins. Time points: 2, 4, 6 weeks. Perform quantitative assessment of the ovary and follicular staging using histology and evaluation of plasma estradiol (E2) levels as additional quantitative assessment.

[0222] An in vivo ovarian chemotoxicity mouse model is utilized to further analyze effects of wild type and modified proteins. Use established dosing levels of chemotherapies (e.g. cyclophosphamide) causing ovarian toxicity following protocol with a single high dose of cyclophosphamide 150 mg/kg i.p. Analyze effect of treatment with modified proteins starting 1 day prior to chemotherapy with dosing daily for 8 days. Sac mice 1 week after chemotherapy dose and perform quantitative assessment of the ovary using histology and evaluation of plasma estradiol (E2) levels as additional quantitative assessment. Chronic effects studied by using established dosing levels of chemotherapies (e.g. cyclophosphamide) causing ovarian toxicity following protocol with dosing once weekly for 4 weeks. Analyze effect of treatment with modified proteins using daily dosing for 4 weeks. Sac mice at day 28 after chemotherapy initiation and perform quantitative assessment of the ovary using histology and evaluation of plasma estradiol (E2) levels as additional quantitative assessment. Analyze effect of treatment with wild type and modified protein with treatment 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 weeks prior to chemotherapy initiation, and throughout chemotherapy administration. Sac 1 week after treatment and perform quantitative assessment of the ovary using histology. Evaluate estrous cycles during chemotherapy treatment. Perform mating 8 weeks after chemotherapy discontinuation and evaluation of litter size and time to first birth. 20 weeks after chemotherapy discontinuation, use ovulation induction protocol, sac, and quantitate number of oocytes retrieved.
