IFIEL‘D‘OF THE INVENTION ‘ TModified EH20 hyaluronidasepolypeptides, ing'modifiedpolypepti'des that exhibit sed stability :and/or increasedactivity, .areiprOVided. Also provided are ‘20 compositions and ations and uses thereof.
BACKGROUND Hyaluronan (hyaluronic acid; HA) is apolypeptide that isfound in‘the extracellular ‘matrix ofmany .cells,-especially'in soft connective'tissues. HAalso. is ‘found predominantly in skin, cartilage, and in al fluid in'mammals. onan also is themain constituent - 2'5 of'the vitreous of theeye. 'HA has arch in s physiological .processes, such as 'in water and plasma protein homeostasis (Laurent TC et a]. (1992) FASEBJ 6: 2397-2404). Certain diseases areassociated with expression and/or'production of hyaluronan. Hyaluronan- degrading enzymes, such as hyaluronidases, are s that degrade hyaluronan. .By 'catalyzing'I-I‘A degradation, hyaluronan-degrading s (e. g., hyaluronidases).can be used ‘to treat diseases or disorders associated with accumulation ofHA or other glycosaminoglycans. Also, since HA is a'major component ofthe interstitial r, hyaluronan-degrading enzymes (e.g., hyaluronidase) increase tissue permeability and thereforecan be used ‘to increase the dispersion and delivery of therapeutic agents. ‘Various hyaluronidases have been used therapeutically (e.g., HydaseTM, 'VitraseTM and WydaseTM), typically as dispersing and spreading agents in combination with other therapeutic .
RECTIFIED SHEET (RULE 91) lSA/EP WO 02144 PCT/US2012/072182 Many of these are ovine or bovine forms, which can be immunogenic for treatment of humans. Improved hyaluronan-degrading enzymes, such as hyaluronidases, and compositions thereof that can be used for ent are needed.
SUMMARY Provided are modified PHZO polypeptides that have an altered property or properties compared to the PHZO polypeptide that do not have the modification(s). The modifications include amino acid replacement, deletion and/or insertions. Detailed structure/function of lly each amino acid in a PHZO polypeptide is provided , as well as the identification of residues and loci that contribute to alteration of a property, such as stability in particular conditions, is provided. Hence, provided are modified PHZO polypeptides that contain one or more amino acid ements that result in a PHZO polypeptide that retains actiVity and/or ts increased or altered ity under a variety of conditions. Activity retained can be, for example, hyaluronidase actiVity that is as least about 40% or more of the PHZO polypeptide that does not include the replacement. Exemplary ations are amino acid replacements. For purposes , amino acid replacements are denoted by the single amino acid letter followed by the corresponding amino acid position in SEQ ID NO:3 in which the replacement occurs. Single amino acid abbreviations for amino acid residues are well known to a skilled artisan (see 6.g. Table l), and are used herein throughout the description and examples. For example, replacement with P at a position corresponding to position 204 in a PHZO polypeptide with reference to amino acid residue positions set forth in SEQ ID NO:3 means that the replacement encompasses F204P in a PHZO polypeptide set forth in SEQ ID N03, or the same replacement at the corresponding position in another PHZO polypeptide.
Provided are modified PHZO polypeptides that contain at least one amino acid replacement in a PHZO polypeptide, whereby the modified PHZO polypeptide exhibits increased stability compared to the PHZO polypeptide not containing the amino acid replacement. Increased stability can be manifested as increased resistance to one or more protein ions that are denaturing to proteins. The stability of modified and unmodified PHZO is compared under the same conditions. Exemplary protein denaturation (or denaturing, used interchangeably herein) conditions include, but are not limited to, elevated temperature greater than 30 0C or about 30 OC, agitation, low salt, including ially or substantially or no salt, and presence of ents that tend to re ns. Exemplary of such excipients are antiadherent(s), binder(s), coating(s), s) and diluent(s), flavor(s), color(s), lubricant(s), glidant(s), preservative(s), detergent(s), sorbent(s) and combinations thereof WO 2013/102144 2012/072182 ,_ 3 - modified‘PHZO‘polypeptide can be one in which the unmodified ‘form thereofhasat least about 68% sequence identity‘to SEQ 111N013 and‘further contains modifications that - alter stability and/ocean be a PH20 polypeptide that includes asmany as about uptto 7100, .110, 1220, 130, 150 amino acid differences from PH20-but retains enzymatic activity, » particularly, at least about 140% of the activity of the unmodified PH20 polypeptide and ts increased stability, such as stability under ring conditions. Thus, included are modified 'PHZO polypeptides that have at least 68% or‘ about 68% amino :acid sequence - identity to the sequence of aminoacids set forth in SEQ ID NO:3. Included are'modified ’PHZO'polypeptides that have at least 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, '10 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% amino acid sequence identity‘to the ’ sequence of amino acids set'forth in SEQ JD NO:3. Exemplary of.such'modified 'PH20 polypeptides 'are-polypeptidesthat contain aminoracid replacement(s) inza olypeptide that containsthe sequence of amino acid residues as set forth inany of SEQfID NOS: [3, ’7, £10, 122, .14, -66,‘69, '72, 857, 859, I861, 870 ora sequence of'amino acids that‘is at least '1‘5 80%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% identical‘to any of SEQ 'ID'NOS: E3, '7, 10,12, ,14, 24, .32-‘66,‘69, '72, ‘857, 1, or '870.
‘Forexamplenprovided herein is a'modified'PH20;pdlypeptide that-exhibits increased stability containing anamino acid replacement in 'aiPHZO,‘polypeptide'that.confersthe increased stability, wherein increased stability ismanifested as increased resistance 'to denaturation in thepresence of one or'moreprotein denaturation conditions, stability is increased compared tothe JPI-l20:polypeptide nottcontainingthe amino :acid replacement, and "the fied PH201polypeptide consists of'the sequence ofamino .acids rsetzforth in SEQ ,ID 'NOS: '7 or issa C—‘terminal'truncated'fragment‘thereofthat is.a.solubleJPH20:polypeptide or has at least 85% sequence identity thereto. 'As above, the modified PH20'pOlypeptide that 225 exhibits increased stability exhibits increased stability'to a rationcondition"that is temperature r than or about ‘30 °C; agitation; low orrnoa salt; or ce ofan excipient or a denaturing agent, such asan antiadherent(s), binder(s),.coating(s), filler(s) and diluent(s), flavor(s), color(s), lubricant(s), t(s),_ preservative(s), detergent(s), t(s) or sweetener(s)'and a combination thereof, .and inparticular a preservative. In some examples ..30 ofsuch modified PH20 polypeptides that t increased stability, the denaturation condition is temperature greater than 30°C, and the modified PH20 polypeptide exhibits greater onidase activity at the temperature compared to the unmodified PH20 polypeptide not containing the amino acid r’eplacement(s) where the activities are compared under the same conditions.

I In any of the above examples of a modified PHZO polypeptide that exhibits increased stability, ity can be assessed based on a variety of parameters including hyaluronidase activity, solubility, aggregation and/or crystallization. Stability can be assessed in the. presence of a denaturing condition. When stability oftwo or more'polypeptides iscompared, stability isassessed under the same conditions. \In some instances, among'thePHZO polypeptides provided herein,’the modified PHZO'polypeptideexhibits-at least 120%, 130%, 135%, 140%,‘145%, 150%, 160%, 170%, 180%,200%,250%,.300%,.350%,»400%, 500%, ' 1500%, 2000%, .‘3000%,-4000%, .5000% or more of the hyaluronidase activity of‘the'PHZO polypeptide 'notcontaining the amino acid replacement(s). iIn:any of the above examples of a modified PH202polypeptide‘that exhibits increased 1155 stability, ring conditions include‘the ce ofexcipients that re’proteins.

As used herein, a soluble PH20 refers to a polypeptide characterized by its solubility under physiological conditions. lly, a soluble PH20 lacks all or a portion of a glycophosphatidyl anchor (GPI) attachment sequence, or does not otherwise sufficiently anchor to the cell membrane. For example, a soluble PH20 can be a C-terminally truncated variant of a PH20 lacking a contiguous sequence of amino acids that corresponds to all or a portion of a glycophosphatidyl anchor (GPI) ment sequence. Hence, upon expression from a cell, a soluble PH20 is secreted into the . e PH20 proteins can be distinguished, for example, by its partitioning into the aqueous phase of a Triton X-l 14 solution warmed to 37 °C (Bordier et al., (1981) J. Biol. Chem, 256:1604-7). Membrane- anchored, such as lipid anchored hyaluronidases, will partition into the detergent rich phase, but will partition into the detergent-poor or aqueous phase following treatment with olipase-C. Included among soluble PH20 hyaluronidases are membrane anchored hyaluronidases in which one or more regions associated with anchoring of the hyaluronidase to the membrane has been removed or modified, where the soluble form retains hyaluronidase activity. Soluble hyaluronidases include recombinant e onidases and those contained in or purified from natural sources, such as, for example, testes extracts from sheep or cows. Exemplary of such soluble hyaluronidases are soluble human PH20 (SEQ ID NO: 3 or 32-66). Other soluble hyaluronidases include ovine (SEQ ID NO:25-27) and bovine (SEQ ID NO:l6 or 18) PH20.
As used herein, soluble human PH20 (sHuPHZO) includes human PH20 polypeptides that lack a contiguous ce of amino acids from the C-terminus of human PH20 that includes all or a portion of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor sequence (C- terminally truncated PH20 polypeptides) such that upon expression, the ptides are soluble under physiological conditions. For example, soluble human PH20 polypeptides are inally truncated polypeptides of human PH20 set forth as SEQ ID NO:6 in its precursor form or in SEQ ID NO:7 in its mature form lacking the signal sequence, or allelic variants thereof (e.g. set forth in any of SEQ ID NOS: 68-72). Solubility can be assessed by any suitable method that demonstrates lity under physiologic conditions. Exemplary of WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 such methods is the Triton® X-l 14 assay, that assesses partitioning into the aqueous phase and that is described above. In addition, a soluble human PH20 polypeptide is, if produced in CHO cells, such as CHO-S cells, a polypeptide that is expressed and is ed into the cell culture medium. Soluble human PH20 polypeptides, however, are not limited to those ed in CHO cells, but can be produced in any cell or by any method, including recombinant expression and polypeptide synthesis. Reference to ion in CHO cells is definitional. Hence, if a polypeptide could be expressed and secreted in CHO cells and is soluble in the media, i.e., partitions into the aqueous phase When extracted With Triton® X- 114, it is a e PH20 polypeptide Whether or not it is so-produced. The precursor polypeptides for sHuPHZO polypeptides can include a signal sequence, such as a heterologous or non-heterologous (i.e., native) signal sequence. Exemplary of the precursors are those that include a signal sequence, such as the native 35 amino acid signal sequence at amino acid positions 1-35 (see, e.g., amino acids 1-35 of SEQ ID NO:6).

WO 2013/102144 2012/072182 As used herein, a "modified hyaluronan-degrading " refers to a hyaluronan- degrading enzyme that contains a modification compared to a reference or unmodified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme. The modification can be an amino acid replacement itution), insertion (addition) or deletion of one or more amino acid residues. The amino acid residue can be a l or non-natural amino acid. In some cases, the modification can be a post-translational modification. A modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme can have up to 150 amino acid differences compared to a nce or unmodified onan-degrading enzyme, so long as the resulting modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme exhibits hyaluronidase ty. Typically, a modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme contains 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, or 50 amino acid modifications.

The starting polypeptide can be a naturally-occurring, Wild-type form of a polypeptide. In addition, the starting polypeptide can be altered or mutated, such that it differs from a native Wild type isoform but is nonetheless referred to herein as a starting unmodified polypeptide relative to the subsequently modified polypeptides produced herein. Thus, existing proteins known in the art that have been d to have a desired increase or decrease in a particular actiVity or property compared to an unmodified reference protein can be selected and used as the starting fied polypeptide. For example, a n that has been modified from its native form by one or more single amino acid changes and ses either an increase or decrease in a desired ty, such as a change in an amino acid residue or residues to alter ylation, can be ed for modification, and hence referred to herein as unmodified, for r modification. An unmodified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme includes human and non-human hyaluronan-degrading enzymes, including hyaluronan-degrading enzymes from non-human mammals and bacteria. Exemplary unmodified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme are any set forth in SEQ ID NOS: 2, 3, 6, 7-66, 68-72, 856-861, 869-924 or mature, C-terminally truncated forms thereof that exhibit hyaluronidase actiVity, or a hyaluronan-degrading enzyme that exhibits at least 75%, 80%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% sequence identity to any of SEQ ID NOS: 2, 3, 6, 7-66, 68-72, 856-861, 869-924. It is understood that an unmodified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme generally is one that does not contain the modification(s), such as amino acid replacement(s) of a modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme.

It is understood that a modified PH20 polypeptide also can include any one or more other ations, in on to at least one amino acid replacement as described herein.
As used herein, an unmodified PH20 polypeptide refers to a starting PH20 polypeptide that is selected for modification as provided herein. The starting polypeptide can be a naturally-occurring, Wild-type form of a polypeptide. In addition, the starting polypeptide can be altered or mutated, such that it differs from a native Wild type isoform but is nonetheless referred to herein as a starting unmodified polypeptide relative to the subsequently modified polypeptides produced herein. Thus, existing proteins known in the art that have been modified to have a desired increase or decrease in a particular activity or property compared to an unmodified reference protein can be selected and used as the starting unmodified polypeptide. For example, a n that has been modified from its native form by one or more single amino acid changes and possesses either an increase or decrease in a desired property, such as a change in an amino acid residue or residues to alter glycosylation, can be selected for modification, and hence ed to herein as unmodified, for further modification. Exemplary unmodified PH20 polypeptides is a human PH20 polypeptide or allelic or species variants thereof or other variants, ing mature and precursor polypeptides. For example, exemplary reference PH20 polypeptides is a mature full length PH20 polypeptide set forth in SEQ ID NOS: 7, 69 or 72, or in inally truncated forms thereof such as set forth in any of SEQ ID NOS: 3 and 32-66, or in a PH20 polypeptide that exhibits at least 68%, 69%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% ce ty to any of SEQ ID NOS: 3, 7, 32- 66, 69 or 72. A reference PH20 ptide also can include the corresponding precursor form such as set forth in any of SEQ ID NOS: 2, 6, 68, 70, 71 or other precursor forms, or in a PH20 polypeptide that exhibits at least 68%, 69%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% sequence identity to any of SEQ ID NOS: 2, 6, 68, 70, 71. It is understood that an unmodified hyaluronan-degrading WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 enzyme generally is one that does not contain the ation(s), such as amino acid replacement(s) of a modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme.

For purposes herein, conditions generally refer to the presence, including , of excipients, carriers or other components in a formulation other than the active agent (e. g., modified PH20 hyaluronidase); temperature; time (e.g., time of storage or exposure); storage vessel; properties of storage (e. g., agitation) and/or other conditions associated With exposure or use.
As used , "denaturation" or "denaturing" or grammatical variations thereof With reference to a n refers to a biochemical change in a protein so that a property or actiVity of the protein is diminished or eliminated. The biochemical change can be a change in the tertiary structure of the protein to unfold. The property or activity can be completely abolished or can be d by 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95% or more.
As used herein, property refers to a al or structural property, such as the three- dimensional structure, pI, half-life, conformation and other such physical characteristics. For WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 example, a change in a property can be manifested as the solubility, ation or crystallization of a protein.
As used herein, activity refers to a functional actiVity or actiVities of a ptide or portion thereof ated with a full-length (complete) protein. Functional ties include, but are not limited to, biological actiVity, catalytic or enzymatic actiVity, antigenicity (ability to bind or compete with a polypeptide for binding to an anti-polypeptide antibody), immunogenicity, y to form multimers, and the ability to specifically bind to a receptor or ligand for the polypeptide.
As used herein, hyaluronidase actiVity refers to the ability to enzymatically catalyze the cleavage of onic acid. The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) XXII assay for hyaluronidase determines hyaluronidase actiVity indirectly by measuring the amount of higher molecular weight hyaluronic acid, or hyaluronan, (HA) substrate remaining after the enzyme is allowed to react with the HA for 30 min at 37 oC (USP XXII-NF XVII (1990) 644-645 United States Pharmacopeia tion, Inc, RockVille, MD). A Reference Standard solution can be used in an assay to ascertain the relative actiVity, in units, of any hyaluronidase. In vitro assays to determine the hyaluronidase actiVity of onidases, such as PH20, ing modified PH20 polypeptides, are known in the art and described herein. ary assays e the microturbidity assay described herein that measures cleavage of hyaluronic acid by hyaluronidase indirectly by detecting the insoluble precipitate formed when the uncleaved hyaluronic acid binds with serum albumin. Reference Standards can be used, for example, to generate a standard curve to determine the activity in Units of the hyaluronidase being tested.
As used herein, neutral active refers to the ability of a PH20 ptide to enzymatically catalyze the cleavage of hyaluronic acid at neutral pH, such as at a pH between or about between pH 6.0 to pH 7.8.
As used herein, "increased activity" with nce to a modified PH20 hyaluronidase means that, when tested under the same conditions, the modified PH20 hyaluronidase exhibits greater hyaluronidase actiVity compared to an unmodified PH20 hyaluronidase not containing the amino acid replacement(s). For example, a modified PH20 hyaluronidase exhibits at least or about at least 110%, 120%, 130%, 140%, 150%, 160%, 170%, 180%, 190%, 200%, 250%, 300%, 400%, 500% 1000% or more ofthe activity ofthe , 600%, 700%, 800%, 900%, unmodified or reference PH20 hyaluronidase.
As used herein, ility" with reference to a protein refers to a protein that is nous in an aqueous solution, whereby protein molecules diffuse and do not sediment spontaneously. Hence a soluble protein solution is one in which there is an absence of a WO 2013/102144 2012/072182 Visible or discrete particle in a solution containing the protein, such that the particles cannot be easily filtered. lly, a protein is soluble if there are no Visible or discrete particles in the solution. For e, a n is soluble if it contains no or few particles that can be removed by a filter With a pore size of 0.22 um.
As used herein, aggregation or llization With reference to a protein refers to the presence of Visible or discrete particles in a solution containing the n. Typically, the particles are greater than 10 um in size, such as greater than 15 um, 20 um, 25 um, 30 um, 40 um, 50 um or greater. Aggregation or crystallization can arise due to reduced solubility, increased denaturation of a protein or the formation of covalent bonds.
As used herein, "denaturing condition" or "denaturation condition" refers to any condition or agent that, When exposed to a protein, s or influences the degradation or denaturation of the protein, generally as a result of a loss or partial loss of the tertiary or ary structure of the protein. Denaturing conditions can result in effects such as loss or reduction in actiVity, loss or reduction of lity, aggregation and/or crystallization. The denaturing condition need not be one that is completely deadly to the protein, but nevertheless is one that leads to a reduction in the actiVity of the protein over time. Thus, a condition is denaturing if the activity of the n is reduced by at least 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95% or more in the ce of the condition than in its e. A denaturing condition can be due to an external stress or physical condition (e. g., agitation, temperature, time of e, absence of a stabilizer) or can be due to the presence of a denaturing agent. For example, the denaturing condition can be caused by heat, acid or a chemical denaturant. Exemplary ring conditions include, but are not limited to, the presence of a strong acid or base, a concentrated inorganic salt, an organic solvent (e. g., alcohol or chloroform), urea, high or low pH (extremes of pH), elevated temperature (e.g., heat), the presence of excipients that can be denaturing (e.g., phenolic preservatives or detergent), and low or substantially no stabilizing agent that otherwise is required for stability of the protein (e. g., NaCl).
As used , "denaturing agent" or "denaturant" refers to any substance, molecule or compound that causes denaturation. For example, a denaturing agent can include a strong acid or base, a concentrated inorganic salt, an organic solvent (e. g., alcohol or chloroform), a preservative, detergent or other excipient.
As used herein, "resistance to a denaturation condition" refers to any amount of decreased reduction or elimination of a property or actiVity of the protein associated With or caused by denaturation. For example, denaturation is associated With or causes sed crystallization or aggregation, reduced solubility or decreased ty. Hence, resistance to WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 denaturation means that the protein exhibits decreased aggregation or crystallization, increased solubility or increased or greater activity (6. g., hyaluronidase activity) when exposed to a ring condition compared to a reference protein (6.g. unmodified enzyme).
The resistance to a denaturation ion need not be te or permanent, but can be ed because the ration of the d hyaluronan-degrading enzyme occurs more slowly than the unmodified enzyme in the denaturation condition such that an actiVity or property of the modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme is achieved for longer. For example, a d hyaluronan-degrading enzyme, such as a d PH20 hyaluronidase, exhibits resistance to a ration condition if it exhibits, for example, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, ..., 70%, 80%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100% more resistance to denaturation in the presence of a denaturation condition or denaturing agent than an unmodified polypeptide. In some instances, a modified polypeptide ts 105%, 110%, 120%, 130%, 140%, 150%, 200%, 300%, 400%, 500%, or more increased resistance to denaturation compared to an unmodified polypeptide.
As used herein, stability of a modified PH20 hyaluronidase means that it exhibits resistance to denaturation caused by a denaturation condition or denaturing agent. A modified PH20 polypeptide exhibits stability if it retains some activity in the ce of a denaturation condition or denaturing agent, such as at least 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% or more of the original or initial hyaluronidase activity prior to exposure to the denaturing condition(s). Generally, a modified PH20 hyaluronidase is stable if it retains at least 50% or more of the hyaluronidase activity under a denaturation condition compared to the absence of the denaturation condition. Assays to assess hyaluronidase ty are known to one of skill in the art and described herein. It is understood that the stability of the enzyme need not be permanent or long term, but is manifested for a duration of time in which actiVity is desired. For example, a modified PH20 hyaluronidase is stable if it exhibits an actiVity for at least 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, one day, two days, three days, four days, five days, six days, one week, one month, six months or one year upon re, or during exposure, to one or more denaturing condition(s) or agent(s) (e.g., presence of a denaturing excipient such as a vative). For example, a modified PH20 hyaluronidase is stable if it exhibits an activity upon or during exposure to one or more denaturing condition(s) or agent(s) (e.g., presence of a denaturing excipient such as a preservative) for at least 1 month at temperatures from or from about 2 0C to 8 OC, inclusive or for at least 3 days at a temperature from or from about 30 0C to 42 OC, inclusive.
WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 Hence, "stable" or lity," with reference to a formulation or a co-formulation ed herein, refers to one in which a modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme, such as a modified PH20 hyaluronidase, therein is stable upon exposure to one or more denaturing condition(s) or agent(s) therein (e.g., presence of a denaturing excipient such as a preservative) for at least 1 month at temperatures from or from about 2 0C to 8 OC, inclusive or for at least 3 days at a temperature from or from about 30 0C to 42 OC, inclusive.
As used herein, "increased stability" with reference to a modified PH20 hyaluronidase means that, in the presence of the same denaturing or denaturation condition(s) (e.g., presence of a denaturing excipient such as a preservative), the modified PH20 hyaluronidase exhibits greater hyaluronidase ty ed to an unmodified PH20 hyaluronidase not containing the amino acid replacement(s). For example, a modified PH20 hyaluronidase exhibits increased stability if it exhibits at least or about at least 110%, 120%, 130%, 140%, 150%, 160%, 170%, 180%, 190%, 200%, 250%, 300%, 400%, 500% , 600%, 700%, 800%, 900%, 1000% or more of the activity of the unmodified or reference PH20 hyaluronidase in the presence of a ring or denaturation condition(s) (e.g. , in the ce of a denaturing excipient such as a preservative).
As used herein, "elevated temperatures" refers to temperatures that are greater than room temperature or ambient temperature. Generally, an elevated temperature is a temperature that is at least, greater than, or about 30 °C, such as 30 °C to 42 °C, and generally 32 0C to 37 0C or 35 0C to 37 OC, inclusive.
As used herein, room temperature refers to a range generally from about or at to 18 °C to about or at 32 °C. Those of skill in the art appreciate that room temperature varies by location and ling ions. For example, room temperatures can be higher in warmer climates such as Italy or Texas.
As used herein, recitation that proteins are "compared under the same conditions" means that different proteins are treated identically or substantially identically such that any one or more conditions that can influence the actiVity or properties of a protein or agent are not varied or not substantially varied between the test . For example, when the hyaluronidase actiVity of a modified PH20 polypeptide is compared to an unmodified PH20 polypeptide any one or more conditions such as the amount or concentration of the ptide; presence, including amount, of excipients, rs or other ents in a formulation other than the active agent (e.g., modified PH20 hyaluronidase); temperature; time of storage; storage vessel; properties of storage (e.g., agitation) and/or other ions ated with exposure or use are identical or ntially identical between and among the compared polypeptides.
WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 As used herein, "predetermined time" refers to a time that is established or decided in advance. For example, the predetermined time can be a time chosen in advance that is associated with the desired duration of activity of a hyaluronan-degrading enzyme depending on the d application or use of the protein. A ermined time can be hours, days, months or years. For example, a predetermined time can be at least about or about 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, five hours, six hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 2 days, three days, four days, five days, six days, one week, two weeks, three weeks, one month, six months, one year or more.
As used herein, "storage" means that a formulation is not immediately administered to a subject once prepared, but is kept for a period of time under particular conditions (e.g., particular temperature; time, and/or form (e. g., liquid or lyophilized form)) prior to use. For example, a liquid ation can be kept for days, weeks, months or years, prior to administration to a subject under varied temperatures such as refrigerated (0 °C to 10 °C, such ° to 8 OC), as 2 room temperature (e.g., temperature up to 32 °C, such as 18 °C to about or at 32 0C), or elevated temperature (e.g., 30 0C to 42 0C, such as 32 0C to 37 0C or 35 0C to 37 OC).
As used herein, an ient" refers to a compound in a formulation of an active agent that does not provide the ical effect of the active agent when administered in the absence of the active agent. Exemplary ents include, but are not limited to, salts, buffers, izers, tonicity modifiers, metals, polymers, surfactants, preservatives, amino acids and sugars.
As used , a stabilizing agent refers to compound added to the formulation to protect the modified PH2O polypeptide or other active agent from degradation, if necessary, such as due to denaturation conditions to which a formulation herein is exposed when handled, stored or used. Thus, included are agents that prevent proteins from degradation from other components in the compositions. Exemplary of such agents are amino acids, amino acid derivatives, amines, , polyols, salts and s, surfactants, inhibitors or substrates and other agents as described .
As used herein, an antimicrobial effectiveness test or preservative effectiveness test (PET) demonstrates the effectiveness of the preservative system in a t. A product is inoculated with a controlled quantity of ic organisms. The test then compares the level of microorganisms found on a control sample versus the test sample over a period of 28 days.
Generally, target markets have differing PET requirements. For example, the PET requirements of the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) and the European Pharmacopoeia (EP) differ. Parameters for performing an antimicrobial effectiveness test, including in different markets, are known to one of skill in the art as described herein.
WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 As used herein, an anti-microbially or icrobial effective amount of a preservative refers to an amount of the preservative that kills or inhibits the propagation of microbial organisms in a sample that may be introduced from storage or use. For example, for multiple-dose containers, an icrobially effective amount of a preservative inhibits the grth of microorganisms that may be introduced from repeatedly withdrawing individual doses. USP and EP (EPA and EPB) have anti-microbial ements that ine preservative effectiveness, and that vary in stringency. For example, an icrobial effective amount of a preservative is an amount such that at least a 1.0 loglo unit reduction in bacterial organisms occurs at 7 days following inoculation in an antimicrobial vative effectiveness test (APET). In a particular example, an anti-microbial effective amount of a preservative is an amount such that at least a 1.0 loglo unit reduction in bacterial organisms occurs at 7 days following inoculation, at least a 3.0 loglo unit reduction of bacterial organisms occurs at 14 days following inoculation, at least no further increase in bacterial organisms occurs after 28 days following inoculation, and at least no increase in fungal organisms occurs after 7 days following inoculation. In a further example, an icrobial effective amount of a preservative is an amount such that at least a 1.0 lOglo unit reduction of bacterial organisms occurs at 24 hours following inoculation, at least a 3.0 logro unit reduction of bacterial organisms occurs at 7 days following inoculation, no further increase in bacterial organisms occurs after 28 days following inoculation, at least a 1.0 logro unit reduction of fungal sms occurs at 14 days following ation, and at least no further increase in fungal organisms occurs after 28 days following inoculation. In an additional example, an anti-microbial effective amount of a preservative is an amount such that at least a 2.0 loglo unit reduction of bacterial organisms occurs at 6 hours following inoculation, at least a 3.0 loglo unit reduction of bacterial organisms occurs at 24 hours ing inoculation, no recovery of ial organisms occurs after 28 days ing inoculation of the composition with the microbial inoculum, at least a 2.0 loglo unit reduction of fungal organisms occurs at 7 days following inoculation, and at least no further increase in fungal organisms occurs after 28 days following ation.

As used herein, a "phenophile" refers to a protein, such as a modified PH20 ptide, that exhibits stability in the presence of an icrobially effective amount of a preservative(s). The term "phenolphile" can be used interchangeably herein with "phenophile" and has the same meaning. For example, a modified PH20 polypeptide that is a phenophile or phenolphile typically exhibits sed stability compared to an unmodified PH20 hyaluronidase not containing the amino acid replacement(s) When tested under the same ring condition(s) ning a phenolic preservative(s). For example, a modified PH20 hyaluronidase exhibits at least or about at least 110%, 120%, 130%, 140%, 150%, 160%, 170%, 180%, 190%, 200%, 250%, 300%, 400%, 500% , 600%, 700%, 800%, 900%, 1000% or more of the ty of the unmodified or reference PH20 onidase in the presence of a ic preservative(s).
As used herein, a "thermophile" refers to a protein, such as a modified PH20 polypeptide, that exhibits stability under elevated temperatures greater than or about 30 °C, such as 30 °C to 42 0C, and generally 32 0C to 37 0C or 35 0C to 37 °C. For example, a modified PH20 polypeptide that is a thermophile typically exhibits increased stability compared to an unmodified PH20 hyaluronidase not containing the amino acid replacement(s) When tested under the same elevated temperature denaturing condition(s). For example, a modified PH20 hyaluronidase exhibits at least or about at least 110%, 120%, 130%, 140%, 150%, 160%, 170%, 180%, 190%, 200%, 250%, 300%, 400%, 500% , 600%, 700%, 800%, 900%, 1000% or more of the activity of the unmodified or reference PH20 hyaluronidase under elevated temperatures.
As used herein, the term "detergent" is used interchangeably with the term "surfactan " or "surface acting agen ." Surfactants are typically organic compounds that are amphiphilic, i.e., containing both hobic groups ("tails") and hydrophilic groups ("heads"), Which render surfactants soluble in both organic solvents and water. A surfactant can be classified by the ce of formally charged groups in its head. A non-ionic surfactant has no charge groups in its head, Whereas an ionic surfactant carries a net charge in its head. A zwitterionic surfactant ns a head With two oppositely charged groups.

As used herein, a "buffer" refers to a substance, generally a solution, that can keep its pH constant, despite the on of strong acids or strong bases and external influences of temperature, pressure, volume or redox potential. A buffer prevents change in the concentration of another al substance, e.g., proton donor and acceptor systems that prevent marked changes in en ion concentration (pH). The pH values of all buffers are temperature and concentration dependent. The choice of buffer to maintain a pH value or range can be empirically determined by one of skill in the art based on the known buffering capacity of known buffers. Exemplary buffers e but are not limited to, bicarbonate , cacodylate buffer, ate buffer or Tris . For example, Tris buffer (tromethamine) is an amine based buffer that has a pKa of 8.06 and has an ive pH range between 7.9 and 9.2. For Tris buffers, pH increases about 0.03 unit per OC temperature decrease, and decreases 0.03 to 0.05 unit per ten-fold on.

For purposes , amino acids e the twenty lly-occurring amino acids, non-natural amino acids and amino acid analogs (i.e., amino acids wherein the (x-carbon has a side chain).
As used herein, "amino acid residue" refers to an amino acid formed upon chemical digestion (hydrolysis) of a polypeptide at its peptide linkages. The amino acid residues described herein are presumed to be in the "L" isomeric form. Residues in the "D" isomeric form, which are so designated, can be substituted for any L-amino acid residue as long as the desired functional property is retained by the ptide. NH2 refers to the free amino group present at the amino terminus of a polypeptide. COOH refers to the free carboxy group present at the carboxyl terminus of a polypeptide. In keeping with standard polypeptide nomenclature described inJ. Biol. Chem, 243: 3557-3559 , and adopted 37 C.F.R. §§ 1.821-1 .822, iations for amino acid residues are shown in Table 1: Table 1 — Table of Correspondence SYMBOL 1-Letter 3-Letter AMINO ACID Y Tyr Tyrosine G Gly Glycine F Phe Phenylalanine M Met Methionine A Ala Alanine S Ser Serine I Ile Isoleucine L Leu Leucine T Thr Threonine V Val Valine P Pro Proline K Lys Lysine H His Histidine Q Gln Glutamine E Glu Glutamic Acid Z GlX Glu and/or Gln W Trp Tryptophan R Arg Arginine D Asp Aspartic Acid N Asn Asparagine B AsX Asn and/or Asp WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 MM — 1-Letter 3-Letter AMINO ACID Unknown or Other It should be noted that all amino acid residue sequences represented herein by ae have a left to right ation in the conventional direction of amino-terminus to carboxyl-terminus. In addition, the phrase "amino acid e" is broadly defined to include the amino acids listed in the Table of Correspondence (Table l) and modified and unusual amino acids, such as those referred to in 37 C.F.R. §§ l.821-l.822, and incorporated herein by nce. Furthermore, it should be noted that a dash at the beginning or end of an amino acid residue sequence indicates a peptide bond to a further ce of one or more amino acid residues, to an amino-terminal group such as NH2 or to a carboxyl-terminal group such as COOH.
As used herein, "naturally occurring amino acids" refer to the 20 L-amino acids that occur in polypeptides.
As used herein, "non-natural amino acid" refers to an organic compound that has a structure similar to a natural amino acid but has been modified structurally to mimic the structure and reactivity of a natural amino acid. Non-naturally occurring amino acids thus include, for example, amino acids or analogs of amino acids other than the 20 naturally- occurring amino acids and include, but are not limited to, the D-stereoisomers of amino acids.
Exemplary non-natural amino acids are described herein and are known to those of skill in the art.
As used herein, an etic mixture is one in Which the molar ratios of amino acids has been adjusted based on their reported reaction rates (see, e.g., Ostresh et al., (1994) Biopolymers 34:1681).
As used herein, suitable conservative substitutions of amino acids are known to those of skill in this art and can be made generally t altering the biological activity of the resulting molecule. Those of skill in the art recognize that, in general, single amino acid substitutions in non-essential regions of a polypeptide do not substantially alter biological actiVity (see, e.g., Watson et al. Molecular Biology of the Gene, 4th Edition, 1987, The Benj amin/Cummings Pub. co., p.224). Such substitutions can be made in accordance With those set forth in TABLE 2 as follows: TABLE 2 Original e Exemplary conservative substitution Ala (A) Gly; Ser WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 _ 69 _ Original residue Exemplary conservative substitution Ar_ R L s Asn (N) Gln; His Cys (C) Ser Gln (Q) Asn Glu E As.

As used herein, a DNA construct is a single or double stranded, linear or circular DNA molecule that contains segments of DNA combined and juxtaposed in a manner not found in nature. DNA ucts exist as a result of human manipulation, and include clones and other copies of manipulated molecules.
As used , a DNA segment is a portion of a larger DNA molecule having specified attributes. For example, a DNA segment encoding a specified polypeptide is a portion of a longer DNA le, such as a plasmid or plasmid fragment, Which, When read from the 5’ to 3’ ion, encodes the sequence of amino acids of the specified polypeptide.
As used herein, the term polynucleotide means a single- or double-stranded polymer of deoxyribonucleotides or ribonucleotide bases read from the 5’ to the 3’ end.
Polynucleotides include RNA and DNA, and can be isolated from natural sources, synthesized in vitro, or prepared from a combination of natural and synthetic molecules. The length of a cleotide molecule is given herein in terms of nucleotides (abbreviated "nt") or base pairs viated "bp"). The term nucleotides is used for single- and double-stranded molecules Where the context permits. When the term is applied to double-stranded molecules it is used to denote overall length and Will be understood to be equivalent to the term base pairs. It Will be recognized by those skilled in the art that the two s of a double- stranded polynucleotide can differ slightly in length and that the ends thereof can be staggered; thus all nucleotides Within a double-stranded polynucleotide molecule cannot be paired. Such unpaired ends will, in general, not exceed 20 nucleotides in length.

As used herein,"‘.sequence identity" refers to the number of identical orssimilar amino acids or nucleotide bases in a.comparison between Nest and a‘reference polypeptide or polynucleotide. Sequence identity can be determined by sequence ent ofnucleic acid or protein sequences to identify regions of similarity or identity. For purposes herein, sequence identity is generally determined by alignment to identify identical residues. Alignment can be local or global, but 'for purposes herein alignment is generally a global alignment where the full-length ofeach sequence is compared. Matches, mismatches and gaps can be fied n compared sequences. Gaps are null amino acids or nucleotides inserted between the residues ofaligned sequences so that identical or similar characters are aligned. Generally, there can be internal rminal gaps. Sequence identity can be determined by taking into accountgaps as the number of identical residues/ length of the shortest sequence x 100. When using gap penalties, sequence identity can be determined with no penalty for end gaps (e. g., al gaps are not penalized). Alternatively, sequence identity can be RECTlFlED SHEET (RULE 91) lSA/EP WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 determined without taking into account gaps as the number of identical positions/length of the total aligned sequence X 100.
As used herein, a "global alignment" is an alignment that aligns two sequences from beginning to end, aligning each letter in each sequence only once. An ent is produced, regardless of whether or not there is similarity or identity between the sequences. For e, 50% sequence identity based on "global alignment" means that in an alignment of the full sequence of two compared sequences each of 100 nucleotides in length, 50% of the residues are the same. It is understood that global alignment also can be used in determining sequence identity even when the length of the aligned sequences is not the same. The differences in the terminal ends of the sequences will be taken into account in determining sequence identity, unless the "no y for end gaps" is selected. Generally, a global ent is used on sequences that share significant similarity over most of their length.
Exemplary algorithms for ming global ent include the Needleman-Wunsch algorithm (Needleman et al. J. Mol. Biol. 48: 443 . Exemplary programs for performing global alignment are publicly available and include the Global Sequence Alignment Tool ble at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) website (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/), and the program available at deepc2.psi.iastate.edu/aat/align/align.html.
As used herein, a "local alignment" is an alignment that aligns two ce, but only aligns those portions of the sequences that share similarity or identity. Hence, a local alignment ines if gments of one sequence are present in another sequence. If there is no similarity, no alignment will be returned. Local alignment algorithms include BLAST or Smith-Waterman thm (Adv. Appl. Math. 2: 482 (1981)). For example, 50% ce ty based on "local alignment" means that in an alignment of the full sequence of two compared sequences of any length, a region of similarity or identity of 100 nucleotides in length has 50% of the residues that are the same in the region of similarity or identity.
For purposes herein, sequence identity can be determined by rd alignment algorithm programs used with default gap penalties established by each supplier. Default parameters for the GAP program can include: (1) a unary comparison matrix (containing a value of 1 for identities and 0 for non identities) and the weighted comparison matrix of Gribskov et al. Nucl. Acids Res. 14: 6745 (1986), as described by Schwartz and Dayhoff, eds., Atlas ofProtein Sequence and ure, National Biomedical Research Foundation, pp. 353- 358 (1979); (2) a penalty of 3.0 for each gap and an additional 0.10 penalty for each symbol in each gap; and (3) no penalty for end gaps. Whether any two nucleic acid molecules have nucleotide sequences or any two polypeptides have amino acid sequences that are at least WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% "identical," or other r variations reciting a percent identity, can be determined using known computer algorithms based on local or global alignment (see e.g., wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequence_alignment_software, providing links to dozens of known and publicly available alignment databases and programs). Generally, for purposes herein sequence identity is determined using computer algorithms based on global alignment, such as the man-Wunsch Global Sequence Alignment tool ble from NCBI/BLAST (blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi?CMD=Web&Page_TYPE=BlastHome); LAlign (William Pearson implementing the Huang and Miller algorithm (Adv. Appl. Math. (1991) 12:337-357)); and program from Xiaoqui Huang available at deepc2.psi.iastate.edu/aat/align/align.html. Generally, when comparing tide sequences herein, an alignment with penalty for end gaps is used. Local alignment also can be used when the sequences being compared are substantially the same length. ore, as used herein, the term "identity" represents a comparison or alignment between a test and a reference polypeptide or polynucleotide. In one non-limiting example, "at least 90% cal to" refers to percent identities from 90 to 100% relative to the nce polypeptide or polynucleotide. Identity at a level of 90% or more is indicative of the fact that, assuming for exemplification purposes a test and reference polypeptide or polynucleotide length of 100 amino acids or nucleotides are compared, no more than 10% (1.6., 10 out of 100) of amino acids or nucleotides in the test polypeptide or polynucleotide differs from that of the reference polypeptides. Similar comparisons can be made between a test and nce polynucleotides. Such differences can be represented as point mutations ly distributed over the entire length of an amino acid sequence or they can be red in one or more locations of varying length up to the maximum allowable, e.g., 10/100 amino acid difference (approximately 90% identity). Differences also can be due to deletions or tions of amino acid residues. Differences are defined as nucleic acid or amino acid substitutions, insertions or deletions. Depending on the length of the compared sequences, at the level of homologies or identities above about 85-90%, the result can be independent of the program and gap parameters set; such high levels of identity can be assessed readily, often without relying on software.
As used herein, an allelic t or allelic variation references any of two or more alternative forms of a gene occupying the same chromosomal locus. Allelic variation arises naturally through mutation, and can result in phenotypic polymorphism within populations.
Gene ons can be silent (no change in the d ptide) or can encode polypeptides haVing altered amino acid sequence. The term "allelic variant" also is used herein to denote a n encoded by an allelic variant of a gene. Typically the reference WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 form of the gene encodes a wildtype form and/or predominant form of a polypeptide from a population or single reference member of a species. Typically, allelic variants, which include variants between and among species lly have at least 80%, 90% or greater amino acid identity with a wildtype and/or predominant form from the same species; the degree of identity depends upon the gene and whether comparison is interspecies or intraspecies.
Generally, intraspecies allelic variants have at least about 80%, 85%, 90% or 95% identity or greater with a wildtype and/or predominant form, including 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or greater identity with a wildtype and/or predominant form of a polypeptide. Reference to an allelic variant herein generally refers to variations in proteins among members of the same species.
As used herein, "allele," which is used hangeably herein with "allelic variant" refers to alternative forms of a gene or portions thereof. Alleles occupy the same locus or position on homologous chromosomes. When a subject has two identical alleles of a gene, the subject is said to be homozygous for that gene or allele. When a subject has two different alleles of a gene, the subject is said to be heterozygous for the gene. Alleles of a specific gene can differ from each other in a single nucleotide or several nucleotides, and can include ations such as substitutions, deletions and insertions of nucleotides. An allele of a gene also can be a form of a gene containing a on.
As used herein, species variants refer to ts in polypeptides among different species, including different mammalian species, such as mouse and human. Exemplary of species variants provided herein are primate PH20, such as, but not limited to, human, chimpanzee, macaque, cynomolgus monkey, gibbon, orangutan, or marmoset. Generally, species variants have 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, or 98% sequence ty. Corresponding es n and among species ts can be ined by comparing and aligning sequences to maximize the number of matching nucleotides or residues, for example, such that identity between the sequences is equal to or r than 95%, equal to or r than 96%, equal to or greater than 97%, equal to or greater than 98% or equal to greater than 99%. The position of interest is then given the number assigned in the reference nucleic acid molecule. Alignment can be ed manually or by eye, particularly where sequence identity is greater than 80%.
As used herein, substantially pure means sufficiently homogeneous to appear free of readily detectable impurities, as determined by standard s of is, such as thin layer chromatography (TLC), gel electrophoresis and high performance liquid tography (HPLC), used by those of skill in the art to assess such purity, or sufficiently pure such that further purification would not detectably alter the physical and al properties, such as enzymatic and biological activities, of the substance. Methods for WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 purification of the nds to produce substantially chemically pure compounds are known to those of skill in the art. A substantially chemically pure compound can, however, be a mixture of stereoisomers or isomers. In such instances, further purification might increase the specific activity of the compound.
As used herein, isolated or purified polypeptide or n or biologically-active portion thereof is substantially free of cellular material or other contaminating proteins from the cell or tissue from which the protein is d, or substantially free from chemical precursors or other chemicals when chemically synthesized. ations can be determined to be ntially free if they appear free of readily detectable impurities as determined by standard s of analysis, such as thin layer tography (TLC), gel electrophoresis and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), used by those of skill in the art to assess such purity, or sufficiently pure such that further purification would not detectably alter the physical and chemical properties, such as enzymatic and biological activities, of the substance. Methods for purification of the compounds to produce substantially chemically pure compounds are known to those of skill in the art. A substantially chemically pure compound, however, can be a mixture of stereoisomers. In such ces, further purification might increase the specific activity of the compound.

B. PH20 Hyaluronidase Provided herein are modified PH20 polypeptides. PH20 (also known as sperm surface protein, sperm on molecule 1 or SPAMl) is a hyaluronidase that hydrolyzes hyaluronan (also called hyaluronic acid, hyaluronate or HA) found in connective tissues such as the extracellular matrix. Hyaluronan polymers are composed of repeating disaccharide units, D-glucuronic acid (Gch) and N—acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc), linked together Via alternating B-l—>4 and B-1 —>3 glycosidic bonds. Hyaluronan chains can reach about 25,000 disaccharide repeats or more in length, and polymers of hyaluronan can range in size from about 5,000 to 20,000,000 Da in vivo. Hyaluronan, also called hyaluronic acid or hyaluronate, is a non-sulfated glycosaminoglycan that is widely distributed throughout connective, epithelial, and neural s. Hyaluronan is an essential component of the extracellular matrix and a major constituent of the interstitial barrier. PH20 is an endo-B-N— acetyl-hexosaminidase that hydrolyzes the Bl—>4 glycosidic bond of hyaluronic acid into various oligosaccharide lengths such as tetrasaccharides and hexasaccharides. PH20 has both hydrolytic and lycosidase actiVities. In on to degrading onic acid, PH20 also can degrade chondroitin sulfates, such as C4-S and C6-S. PH20 can exhibit hyaluronidase ty at acidic pH and neutral pH. 1. Structure PH20 cDNA has been cloned from us mammalian species. Exemplary PH20 precursor polypeptides include, but are not limited to, human (SEQ ID NO:6), bovine (SEQ WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 ID NOS:15 or 17), rabbit (SEQ ID , Cynomolgus monkey (SEQ ID NO:13), guinea pig (SEQ ID NO:28), rat (SEQ ID NO:21), mouse (SEQ ID NO:19), nzee (SEQ ID NO:8, SEQ ID NO:9 or SEQ ID NO:869 ) Rhesus monkey (SEQ ID NO:11), Fox (SEQ ID , Gibbon (SEQ ID NO:856), Marmoset (SEQ ID NO:858) or orangutan (SEQ ID NO:860) PH20 polypeptides. The mRNA transcript is typically translated to generate a precursor protein containing a 35 amino acid signal sequence at the N-terminus. Following transport to the ER, the signal peptide is removed to yield a mature PH20 ptide.
Exemplary mature PH20 polypeptides include, but are not limited to, human (SEQ ID NO:7), bovine (SEQ ID NOS:16 or 18), rabbit (SEQ ID , Cynomolgus monkey (SEQ ID NO:14), guinea pig (SEQ ID NO:29), rat (SEQ ID NO:22), mouse (SEQ ID NO:20), chimpanzee (SEQ ID NO:10 or SEQ ID NO:870), Rhesus monkey (SEQ ID NO:12), Fox (SEQ ID NO:31), Gibbon (SEQ ID NO:857), Marmoset (SEQ ID NO:859) or orangutan (SEQ ID NO:861) PH20 polypeptides. For example, the human PH20 mRNA transcript is normally translated to generate a 509 amino acid sor protein (SEQ ID NO:6) containing a 35 amino acid signal sequence at the N-terminus (amino acid residue positions 1-35 of SEQ ID NO:6). Thus, following transport to the ER and removal of the signal peptide, a 474 amino acid mature polypeptide with an amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:7 is produced. ces of PH20 from ovine are also known (see e.g., SEQ ID NOS: 25-27).
In particular, human PH20 has the sequence of amino acids set forth in SEQ ID NO:6. The mature human PH20 lacking a signal sequence is set forth in SEQ ID NO:7.
Allelic variants and other variants of PH20 are known. Other sequences of PH20 have been ed. For example, a PH20 variant is known as set forth in the precursor sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:68 that contains an Ala at position 48 and a Trp at position 499, or the mature sequence thereof set forth in SEQ ID NO:69 containing the corresponding differences at positions 13 and 464, respectively, compared to the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:7 (see e.g., Gmachl et al. (1993) FEBS Lett., 336:545-548; GenBank ion No.
AAC60607). Further, a natural variant of PH20 has been identified containing a Glutamine (Gln; Q) at position 5 as compared to the precursor sequence of amino acids set forth in SEQ ID NO:6 (see e.g., SEQ ID NO:70, see also Varela et al. (2011) Nature, 469:539-542).
Another natural variant contains an e (Ala; A) at position 47 compared to the ce of amino acids set forth in SEQ ID NO:6 (as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 71) and corresponding to position 12 compared to the sequence of amino acids set forth in SEQ ID NO: 3 or 7 (as set forth in SEQ ID NO:72).
WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 The sequence and structure of PH20 polypeptides is highly ved. Sequence identity between and among PH20 ns from various species is about 50% to 90%. The hydrophobic N—terminal signal sequence of 35 amino acids in length is generally conserved among PH20 hyaluronidase polypeptides. PH20 hyaluronidases contain a common core hyaluronidase domain region of about 340 amino acids in length that corresponds to amino acid residues 38-374 of the precursor human PH20 sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:6. A mature PH20 polypeptide lacking the signal sequence and containing a contiguous sequence of amino acids having a C-terminal amino acid residue corresponding to amino acid residue 464 of SEQ ID NO:6 (e.g., amino acid residues corresponding to positions 36-464 of the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:6) is the minimal sequence ed for hyaluronidase activity (see e. g., US. Patent Application No. 10/795,095,which is issued as US. Patent No. 7,767,429; see also U.S. Publication No. US20100143457).
Within the common hyaluronidase domain region, at least 57 amino acids are conserved between and among species (see e.g., Arming et al. (1997) Eur. J. Biochem, 247:810-814; ten Have et al. (1998) . Fertil. Dev., -72; Chowpongpang et al. (2004) Biotechnology Letters, 26:1247-1252). For example, PH20 hyaluronidases contain 12 conserved cysteine residues corresponding to amino acid residue 25, 189, 203, 316, 341, 346, 352, 400, 402, 408, 423 and 429 of the sequence of amino acids of a mature PH20 lacking the signal sequence such as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 3 or 7 (corresponding to amino acid residues 60, 224, 238, 351, 376, 381, 387, 435, 437, 443, 458 or 464 of full-length human PH20 set forth in SEQ ID NO:6). ne residues corresponding to 25 and 316 and ne residues corresponding to 189 and 203 form disulfide bridges. The other cysteine residues also form disulfide s, are involved in posttranslational protein maturation and/or in activity modulation. For example, further four disulfide bonds are formed between the cysteine residues C376 and C387; between C381 and C435; between C437 and C443; and between C458 and C464 of the polypeptide exemplified in SEQ ID NO:6 (corresponding to positions C341 and C352; between C346 and C400; between C402 and C408; and between C423 and C429 of the mature polypeptide set forth in SEQ ID N03 or 7, respectively).
Amino acid residues corresponding to amino acid e D111, E113 and E249 of the sequence of amino acids set forth in SEQ ID NO: 3 or 7 are acidic residues part of the enzyme active site and are conserved between and among PH20 species. Amino acid residues R176, R246, R252 of the sequence of amino acids set forth in SEQ ID NO: 3 or 7 are also conserved between and among species and bute to substrate binding and/or hyaluronidase ty. Amino acid mutations D111N, E113Q, R176G, E249N and R252T WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 result in enzymes that have no detectable enzymatic activity or residual enzymatic activity (see e.g., Arming et al. (1997) Eur. J. Biochem, 247:810-814).
The results herein confirm the requirement of PH20 amino acid residues corresponding to positions 25, 111, 113, 176, 189, 203, 246, 249, 252, 316, 341, 346, 352, 400, 402, 408, 423 and 429 of the sequence of amino acids set forth in a mature PH20 lacking the signal sequence such as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 3 or 7 for hyaluronidase activity, since mutagenesis of these residues s in an enzyme that is not active (e. g., it is not expressed or is inactive When sed, see e. g., Tables 5 and 10). The exception is that amino acid replacement corresponding to R176K and C316D resulted in mutants that generated some residual hyaluronidase activity.
Glycosylation also is required for PH20 hyaluronidase activity based on the recognition motifNxS or NxT. There are six N-linked oligosaccharides at amino acid residues ponding to positions N47, N131, N200, N219, N333 and N35 8 of the ce of amino acids set forth in SEQ ID NO: 3 or 7 (corresponding to amino acid residues N82, N166, N235, N254, N368 and N393 ofhuman PH20 set forth in SEQ ID NO: 6). In particular, at least N-linked glycosylation sites corresponding to amino acid es N200, N333 and N358 are ed for secretion and/or activity of the enzyme (see e.g., U.S.
Publication No. US20100143457). For example, a PH20 polypeptide containing amino acid mutations N200A, N333A, N358A or N333A/N393A result in inactive ns. Single mutations of glycosylation sites N47A, N131A, N219A, N47A/N131A, N47A/N219A, N1 3 1A/N291A retain activity. The N-linked glycosylation site corresponding to amino acid residue N368 of human PH20 set forth in SEQ ID NO:6 is conserved between and among species (see e.g., ngpang et al. (2004) hnology Letters, 26:1247-1252). PH20 hyaluronidases also contains O-linked glycosylation sites. For example, human PH20 has one O-linked oligosaccharide at the amino acid residue corresponding to amino acid T440 of the sequence of amino acids set forth in SEQ ID N03 or 7 (corresponding to amino acid residue T475 in SEQ ID NO:6).
In addition to the tic sites, PH20 also contains a hyaluronan-binding site. This site is located in the Peptide 2 region, which corresponds to amino acid positions 205-235 of the precursor polypeptide set forth in SEQ ID NO:6 and positions 0 of the mature polypeptide set forth in SEQ ID N03 or 7. This region is highly conserved among hyaluronidases and is similar to the heparin binding motif Mutation of the arginine residue at on 176 (corresponding to the mature PH20 polypeptide set forth in SEQ ID N03 or 7) to a glycine results in a polypeptide With only about 1% of the hyaluronidase activity of the Wild type polypeptide (Arming et al., (1997) Eur. J. Biochem. 247:810-814).
WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 PH20 polypeptides contain a glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor attached to the C-terminus of the protein that anchors the protein to the extracellular leaflet of the plasma membrane of cells. At least human, monkey, mouse and guinea pig PH20 are strongly ed to the plasma membrane Via the GPI anchor, which can be released by treating with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (Pl-PLC; see e. g., Lin et al. (1994) Journal of Cell Biology, 125:1157-1163; Lin et al. (1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 90: 10075).
Other PH20 enzymes, such as bovine PH20, are loosely attached to the plasma membrane and are not anchored Via a phospholipase sensitive anchor. As sed below, soluble active forms that, when expressed, are not attached to the membrane but are secreted can be generated by removal of all of a portion of the GPI anchor attachment signal site (see also U.S. Patent No. 7,767,429; U.S. Publication No. 0143457) . These include, for example, soluble PH20 polypeptides set forth in any of SEQ ID NOS: 3 or 32-66, or precursor forms thereof containing a signal sequence.
GPl-anchored proteins, for example human PH20, are translated with a ble N- terminal signal e that directs the protein to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). At the C- us of these proteins is another signal sequence that directs addition of a preformed GPI- anchor to the polypeptide within the lumen of the ER. Addition of the GPI anchor occurs following cleavage of the C-terminal portion at a specific amino acid position, called the 03- site (typically located approximately 20-30 amino acids from the C-terminus). Although there appears to be no consensus sequence to identify the location of the m-site, GPI anchored proteins contain a C-terminal chor attachment signal sequence or domain that typically contains a predominantly hydrophobic region of 8-20 amino acids, preceded by a hilic spacer region of 8-12 amino acids immediately downstream of the . This hydrophilic spacer region often is rich in charged amino acids and proline (White et al. (2000) J. Cell Sci. 113(Pt.4):721-727). There is generally a region of approximately 11 amino acids before the 03-1 position that is characterized by a low amount of predicted secondary structure, a region around the ge site (ca-site), from 03-1 to (9+2 that is characterized by the presence of small side chain residues, the spacer region between positions (9+3 and (0+9, and a hydrophobic tail from 03+10 to the C-terminal end (Pierleoni et al., (2008) BMC ormatics . gh there is no GPI-anchor attachment signal consensus ce, various in Silico methods and algorithms have been developed that can be used to identify such sequences in polypeptides (see, e. g., Udenfriend et al. (1995) Methods Enzymol. 250:571-5 82; Eisenhaber et al. (1999) J. Mol. Chem. 292: 741-758; Kronegg and Buloz, (1999), "Detection/prediction of GPI cleavage site (GPl-anchor) in a protein (DGPI)," WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 129.194.185.165/dgpi/; Fankhauser et al. (2005) Bioinformatics 21 :1846-1852; Omaetxebarria et al. (2007) Proteomics 7: 1951-1960; Pierleoni et al. (2008) BMC Bioinformatics 9:392), including those that are y available on ormatic websites, such as the ExPASy mics tools site (expasy.ch/tools/). Thus, one of skill in the art can determine whether a PH20 polypeptide likely ns a GPl-anchor ment signal sequence, and, therefore, whether the PH20 polypeptide is a chored protein.
The covalent attachment of a GPl-anchor to the C-terminus of human PH20 and, therefore, the membrane-bound nature of PH20, has been confirmed using phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (Pl-PLC) hydrolysis studies (see e.g., Lin et al., (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 125:1157-1163). Phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (Pl-PLC) and D (Pl-PLD) hydrolyze the GPI anchor, releasing the PH20 polypeptide from the cell membrane. The prior art literature reports that a m-site cleavage site of human PH20 is identified n Ser-490 and Ala-491 and for monkey PH20 is identified n Ser491 and Thr492 (Lin et al. (1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci, (1993) 90:10071-10075). Thus, the ture s that a GPl-anchor attachment signal sequence of human PH20 is located at amino acid positions 491-5 09 of the precursor ptide set forth in SEQ ID NO:6, and the m-site is amino acid position 490. Thus, in this modeling of human PH20, amino acids 491- 509 are d following transport to the ER and a GPI anchor is covalently attached to the serine residue at position 490. 2. Function PH20 is normally expressed in sperm from a single testis-specific gene. PH20 is a sperm-associated protein involved in fertilization. PH20 is normally localized on the sperm surface, and in the lysosome-derived acrosome, where it is bound to the inner acrosomal membrane. PH20 is multifunctional and exhibits hyaluronidase activity, hyaluronan (HA)— mediated cell-signaling activity, and acts as a sperm receptor for the zona pellucida surrounding the oocyte when present on acrosome d (AR) sperm. For example, PH20 is naturally involved in sperm-egg adhesion and aids penetration by sperm of the layer of cumulus cells by digesting hyaluronic acid. In addition to being a hyaluronidase, PH20 also appears to be a or for HA-induced cell signaling, and a receptor for the zona pellucida surrounding the oocyte. Due to the role of PH20 in fertilization, PH20 can be used as an antigen for immunocontraception.
PH20 is a neutral active hyaluronidase, although it can exhibit acid-active activity in some cases. The hyaluronidase activity of PH20 is exhibited by the plasma membrane- and inner acrosomal membrane-associated PH20. The plasma membrane PH20 exhibits hyaluronidase activity only at neutral pH, while the inner acrosomal membrane-associated WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 PH20 exhibits acid-active enzyme activity. The structural basis for these differences is due to the presence of two catalytic sites in PH20. A first catalytic site is designated the Peptide 1 region, corresponding to amino acid es 142-172 of SEQ ID NO:6, which is involved in enzyme activity of PH20 at neutral pH. A second catalytic site is designated the peptide 3 region, corresponding to amino acid residues 277-297 of SEQ ID NO:6, which is involved in enzyme activity at lower pH. A change in the structure of the inner acrosomal membrane- associated PH20 occurs after the me reaction, y PH20 is endoproteolytically cleaved but held together by disulfide bonds. The result of the endoproteolysis is that the e 3 region is activated and can thus effect neutral and acid-activity to PH20 (see e. g., Cherr et al. (2001) Matrix Biology, 20:515-525. Also, after the acrosome reaction, lower molecular weight forms are generated by e from the inner acrosomal membrane (e.g., a 53 kDa soluble form of PH20 is ted in monkey). The lower molecular weight ) also is acid active.
The hyaluronidase activity of PH20 accounts for the spreading activity observed in animal testes extracts that have been used clinically for decades to increase the dispersion and tion of drugs (see e.g., Bookbinder et al. (2006) J Controlled Release, 0-241).
For e, pharmaceutical preparations containing hyaluronidase were developed as fractionated extracts from bovine testes for therapeutic use as spreading agents and in other ations (Schwartzman (1951) J. Pediat, 39:491-502). Original bovine testicular extract preparations included, for example, extracts sold under the trademarks Wydase®, Hylase®, "Dessau," Neopermease®, Alidase® and Hyazyme®. It is now known that the spreading activity of testicular extract preparations are due to PH20 hyaluronidase activity. For example, in 2001 a sperm hyaluronidase in bull was identified as the onidase PH20 (Lalancette et al. (2001) Biol. Reprod., 65:628-36). By catalyzing the hydrolysis of hyaluronic acid, PH20 hyaluronidase lowers the viscosity of hyaluronic acid, thereby increasing tissue permeability. Hence, soluble forms of PH20 are used as a spreading or dispersing agent in conjunction with other agents, drug and proteins to enhance their dispersion and delivery, and to improve the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of the coadministered agent, drug or protein (see e. g., US. Patent No. 7,767,429; nder et al. (2006) J Controlled Release, 0-241). 3. Soluble PH20 Polypeptides PH20 can exist in membrane-bound or membrane-associated form, or can be secreted into the media when sed from cells, and thereby can exist in soluble form. Soluble PH20 can be detected and discriminated from insoluble, membrane-bound PH20 using methods well known in the art, including, but not limited to, those using a Triton® X-l l4 WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 assay. In this assay, soluble PH20 hyaluronidases partition into the aqueous phase of a Triton® X-114 solution warmed to 37 °C (Bordier et al., (1981) J. Biol. Chem, 256:1604-7) While membrane-anchored PH20 onidases partition into the detergent rich phase. Thus, in addition to using algorithms to assess Whether a PH20 polypeptide is naturally GPI- anchored and hence membrane-bound, solubility experiments also can be performed.
Soluble PH20 s include hyaluronidases that contain a GPI-anchor attachment signal sequence, but that are loosely attached to the membrane such that they do not contain a phospholipase sensitive anchor. For example, soluble PH20 polypeptides include ovine or bovine PH20. Various forms of such soluble PH20 hyaluronidases have been prepared and approved for therapeutic use in subjects, including humans. For example, animal-derived hyaluronidase ations include Vitrase® (ISTA Pharmaceuticals), a d ovine ular hyaluronidase, and ase® (Amphastar Pharmaceuticals), a bovine testicular hyaluronidase. Soluble PH20 enzymes also include truncated forms of non-human or human membrane-associated PH20 hyaluronidases that lack one or more amino acid residues of a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor ment signal ce and that retain hyaluronidase activity (see e.g., U.S. Patent No. 7,767,429; U.S. Publication No.
US20100143457). Thus, instead of having a GPI-anchor covalently attached to the C- terminus of the protein in the ER and being anchored to the extracellular leaflet of the plasma membrane, these polypeptides are secreted When expressed from cells and are soluble. In instances Where the soluble hyaluronan ing enzyme retains a portion of the GPI anchor attachment signal sequence, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 or more amino acid residues in the GPI- anchor attachment signal sequence can be retained, provided the polypeptide is soluble (i.e., secreted When expressed from cells) and active.
Exemplary soluble onidases that are C-terminally truncated and lack all or a portion of the GPI anchor attachment signal sequence include, but are not limited to, PH20 polypeptides of primate origin, such as, for example, human and chimpanzee PH20 ptides. For example, soluble PH20 polypeptides can be made by C-terminal truncation ofa polypeptide set forth in SEQ ID NOS:7, 10, 12, 14, 69, 72, 857, 859, 861 or 870 or variants thereof that exhibit at least 80%, 85%, 90%, 95% or more sequence identity to any of SEQ ID NO: 7, 10, 12, 14, 69, 72, 857, 859, 861 or 870, wherein the ing ptide is active, soluble and lacks all or a portion of amino acid residues from the GPI-anchor attachment signal sequence.
Exemplary soluble PH20 polypeptides are inal truncated human PH20 polypeptides that are mature ng a signal sequence), soluble and exhibit neutral activity, and that contain a contiguous sequence of amino acids set forth in SEQ ID NO:6 or SEQ ID WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 NO:7 that minimally has a C-terminal truncated amino acid residue at or after amino acid residue 464 of the ce of amino acids set forth in SEQ ID NO:6. For example, soluble PH20 polypeptides e C-terminal truncated polypeptides that minimally contain a contiguous sequence of amino acids 36-464 of SEQ ID NO:6, or includes a ce of amino acids that has at least 85%, for example at least 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% sequence identity to a contiguous sequence of amino acids that has a C-terminal amino acid residue after amino acid 464 of SEQ ID NO:6 and retains hyaluronidase activity. Exemplary inally truncated human PH2O polypeptides are mature polypeptides (lacking a signal sequence) that include a contiguous sequence of amino acids set forth in SEQ ID NO:6 With a C-terminal residue after 464 such as after amino acid position 465, 466, 467, 468, 469, 470, 471, 472, 473, 474, 475, 476, 477, 478, 479, 480, 481, 482, 483, 484, 485, 486, 487, 488, 489, 490, 491, 492, 493, 494, 495, 496, 497, 498, 499 or 500 of the sequence of amino acids set forth in SEQ ID NO:6, or a variant thereof that exhibits at least 85% sequence ty, such as at least 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% sequence identity thereto and retains hyaluronidase activity. For example, exemplary C-terminal PH2O polypeptides have a sequence of amino acids 36 to 465, 466, 467, 468, 469, 470, 471, 472, 473, 474, 475, 476, 477, 478, 479, 480, 481, 482, 483, 484, 485, 486, 487, 488, 489, 490, 491, 492, 493, 494, 495, 496, 497, 498, 499 or 500 of the sequence of amino acids set forth in SEQ ID NO:6, or a t thereof that exhibits at least 85% sequence identity, such as at least 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% sequence identity thereto and retains hyaluronidase activity. Soluble PH2O polypeptides e any that has the sequence of amino acids set forth in SEQ ID NOS: 3 or 32-66 or a sequence of amino acids that exhibits at least 85% sequence identity, such as at least 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% sequence identity to the sequence of amino acids set forth in any of SEQ ID NOS: 3 or 32-66.
In ular, a soluble human PH2O polypeptide is a polypeptide that is truncated after amino acid 482 of the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:6. Such a polypeptide can be generated from a nucleic acid molecule containing a signal ce and encoding amino acids 36-482, for example, as set forth in SEQ ID NO:1 (containing an IgG kappa signal ce) or SEQ ID NO:67 (containing the native signal sequence). Post translational processing removes the signal sequence, leaving a 447 amino acid soluble recombinant human PH2O (SEQ ID NO:3). A product produced upon expression of a vector set forth in SEQ ID NO:4 or 5, and ning a nucleic acid molecule set forth in SEQ ID NO:67, results in a secreted product, designated rHuPH20, in the e medium that exhibits heterogeneity WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 at the C-terminus such that the product includes a mixture of species that can e any one or more of SEQ ID NOS: 3 and 44-48 in various abundance. Typically, rHuPH20 is ed in cells that facilitate correct N—glycosylation to retain activity, such as mammalian cells, for example CHO cells (e.g., DG44 CHO cells). Hylenex® (Halozyme) is a human recombinant hyaluronidase produced by genetically engineered Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells containing c acid encoding a truncated human PH20 polypeptide (designated rHuPH20).

It is Within the level of one of skill in the art to make any of the modifications provided herein in another PH20 ptide by identifying the corresponding amino acid residue in r PH20 polypeptide, such as any set forth in SEQ ID NOS: 6, 7, 8, 9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24-27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32-66, 68-72, 856, 857, 858, 859, 860, 861, 869 or 870 or a variant thereofthat exhibits at least 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or more sequence identity to any of SEQ ID NOS: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24-27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32-66, 68-72, 856, 857, 858, 859, 860, 861, 869 or 870. Corresponding positions in another PH20 polypeptide can be identified by alignment of the PH20 polypeptide With the reference to the PH20 polypeptide set forth in SEQ ID NO:3. For example, Figure 2 depicts alignment of exemplary PH20 polypeptides with SEQ ID N03, and identification of exemplary corresponding positions. Also, since SEQ ID NOS: 3, 7, 32-66, 69 and 72 are all forms of a mature human PH20 With a different C-terminal amino acid residue, the numbering of amino acid residues in any of SEQ ID NOS: 7, 32-66, 69 and 72 is the same as SEQ ID N03, and hence the corresponding residues of each are identical to that set forth in SEQ ID NO:3 (see e.g., Figure 1). Further, SEQ ID NOS set forth in any of SEQ ID NOS: 2, 6, 70 or 71 are precursor forms thereof that differ by only the presence of a signal sequence. For purposes of modification (e.g., amino acid ement), the corresponding amino acid e can be any amino acid residue, and need not be identical to the residue set forth in SEQ ID NO:3. Typically, the corresponding amino acid residue identified by alignment With residues in SEQ ID NO:3 is an amino acid residue that is identical to SEQ ID N03, or is a conservative or onservative amino acid residue o (see e.g., Figure 2). It is also understood that the exemplary replacements provided herein can be made at the corresponding residue in a PH20 polypeptide, so long as the replacement is different than exists in the unmodified form of the PH20 polypeptide. Based on this description and the ption elsewhere herein, it is Within the level of one of skill in the art to generate a modified PH20 polypeptide containing any one or more of the bed mutation, and test each for a property or activity as described herein.
Modifications in a PH20 polypeptide also can be made to a PH20 ptide that also contains other modifications, including modifications of the primary sequence and WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 modifications not in the primary sequence of the polypeptide. For example, modifications described herein can be in a PH20 polypeptide that is a fusion polypeptide or chimeric polypeptide. The modified PH20 ptides ed herein also include polypeptides that are conjugated to a r, such as a PEG reagent.
Also provided herein are nucleic acid molecules that encode any of the modified PH20 polypeptides provided herein. In particular examples, the nucleic acid sequence can be codon optimized, for example, to increase expression levels of the encoded ce. The particular codon usage is dependent on the host organism in which the modified polypeptide is expressed. One of skill in the art is familiar with optimal codons for expression in mammalian or human cells, bacteria or yeast, including for example E. coli or romyces cerevisiae. For example, codon usage information is available from the Codon Usage Database available at kazusa.or.jp.codon (see Richmond (2000) Genome Biology, 1:reports241 for a description of the se). See also, Forsburg (1994) Yeast, 10:1045- 1047; Brown et al. (1991) Nucleic Acids Research, 19:4298; Sharp et al. (1988) Nucleic Acids Res., 12:8207-8211; Sharp et al. (1991) Yeast, 657-78). In some examples, the encoding nucleic acid molecules also can be modified to contain a heterologous signal sequence to alter (e.g., increased) expression and secretion of the polypeptide. Exemplary of a heterologous signal sequence is a nucleic acid encoding the IgG kappa signal ce (set forth in SEQ ID NO:868).
The modified polypeptides and encoding nucleic acid molecules provided herein can be ed by standard recombinant DNA techniques known to one of skill in the art. Any method known in the art to effect mutation of any one or more amino acids in a target protein can be employed. Methods include standard site-directed or random mutagenesis of encoding c acid molecules, or solid phase polypeptide synthesis methods. For example, nucleic acid molecules encoding a PH20 polypeptide can be subjected to mutagenesis, such as random mutagenesis of the encoding nucleic acid, error-prone PCR, site-directed mutagenesis, overlap PCR, gene shuffling, or other recombinant methods. The nucleic acid ng the polypeptides can then be introduced into a host cell to be sed logously. Hence, also provided herein are nucleic acid molecules encoding any of the d polypeptides provided herein. In some examples, the modified PH20 polypeptides are produced synthetically, such as using solid phase or solutions phase e sis.
In the subsections below, exemplary modified PH20 polypeptide exhibiting altered properties and activities, and encoding nucleic acid molecules, provided herein are described.
WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 1. Active Mutants Provided herein are modified PH20 polypeptides that contain one or more amino acid ements in a PH20 polypeptide and that exhibit hyaluronidase activity. The modified PH20 polypeptides can t 40% to 5000% of the onidase activity of a Wildtype or reference PH20 polypeptide, such as the ptide set forth in SEQ ID NOS: 3 or 7. For example, d PH20 polypeptides provided herein exhibit at least 40% of the hyaluronidase activity, such as at least 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%, 120%, 130%, 140%, 150%, 160%, 170%, 180%, 190%, 200%, 300%, 400%, 500%, 600%, 700%, 800%, 900%, 1000%, 2000%, 3000% or more of the hyaluronidase activity of a Wildtype or reference PH20 polypeptide, such as the corresponding polypeptide not containing the amino acid modification (e. g., amino acid replacement), for example, a polypeptide set forth in SEQ ID N03 or 7. For example, exemplary positions that can be modified, for example by amino acid replacement or substitution, include, but are not limited to, any of positions corresponding to position 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 20, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 54, 58, 59, 60, 61, 63, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 77, 79, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 96, 97, 98, 99,102,103,104,105,106,107,108,110,114,117,118, 119,120,122,124,125,127,128,130,131,132,133,134,135,136,137,138,139,140,141, 142,143,144,145,146,147,148,149,150,151,152,153,154,155,156,157,158,159,160, 161,162,163,164,165,166,167,168,169,170,171,172,173,174,175,176,177,178,179, 180, 181, 182, 183, 184, 186, 192, 193, 195, 196, 197, 198, 200, 202, 204, 205, 206, 208, 209, 211, 212, 213, 214, 215, 216, 217, 218, 219, 220, 221, 222, 224, 226, 230, 231, 232, 233, 234, 235, 236, 237, 238, 239, 240, 242, 245, 247, 248, 251, 253, 255, 256, 257, 258, 259, 260, 261, 263, 264, 265, 266, 267, 269, 270, 271, 272, 273, 274, 275, 276, 277, 278, 279, 280, 282, 283, 284, 285, 286, 287, 288, 289, 290, 291, 292, 293, 294, 297, 298, 300, 301, 302, 304, 305, 306, 307, 308, 309, 310, 311, 312, 313, 314, 315, 316, 317, 318, 320, 321, 323, 324, 325, 326, 327, 328, 331, 334, 335, 338, 339, 342, 343, 347, 348, 349, 351, 353, 356, 357, 358, 359, 360, 361, 367, 368, 369, 371, 373, 374, 375, 376, 377, 378, 379, 380, 381, 383, 385, 387, 388, 389, 391, 392, 393, 394, 395, 396, 397, 398, 399, 401, 403, 404, 405, 406, 407, 409, 410, 411, 412, 413, 414, 415, 416, 417, 418, 419, 420, 421, 422, 425, 426, 427, 428, 431, 432, 433, 434, 435, 436, 437, 438, 439, 440, 441, 442, 443, 444, 445, 446 or 447 with reference to amino acid positions set forth in SEQ ID NO:3. lly, the amino acid residue that is modified (e.g., replaced with another amino acid) at the position corresponding to any of the above positions in a PH20 polypeptide is an identical residue, a conservative residue or a semi-conservative amino acid residue to the amino acid residue set forth in SEQ ID NO:3.
WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 To retain hyaluronidase activity, modifications typically are not made at those positions that are less tolerant to change or required for hyaluronidase actiVity. For example, generally modifications are not made at a position corresponding to on 7, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21,25,53,55,56,57,62,64,76,78,80,88,95,100,101,109,111,112,113,115,116,121, 123,126,129,185,187,188,189,190,191,194,199, 201, 203, 207, 210, 223, 225, 227, 228, 229,241,243,244,246,249,250,252,254,262,268,282,295,296,298,299,303,319,322, 0,332,333,336,337,340,341,344,345,346,350,352,354,355,362,363,364,365, 366,370,372,382,384,386,390,400,402,408,423,424,429,430,431,wdfl1refiuenceto amino acid positions set forth in SEQ ID NO:3.

Any of the above modified PH20 polypeptides ed herein can exhibit altered, such as ed or increased, properties or activities ed to the corresponding PH20 polypeptide not containing the amino acid modification (e.g., amino acid replacement). For example, the d activities or properties can be an increased catalytic activity and/or an increased stability under denaturing conditions. a. Increased Activity Provided herein are modified or variant PH20 ptides that contain one or more amino acid replacements in a PH20 polypeptide and that exhibit increased hyaluronidase activity compared to the corresponding PH20 polypeptide not containing the amino acid replacement(s), for example, the PH20 polypeptide set forth in any of SEQ ID NOS: 2, 3, 6- WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 -ll5- 66, 68-72, 856-861, 869 or 870 or a variant thereof having at least 75%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 86%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or more sequence identity thereto. In particular, the modified or variant PH20 polypeptides provided herein exhibit increased hyaluronidase activity compared to the corresponding PH20 polypeptide not containing the amino acid replacement, for example, the PH20 polypeptide set forth in any of SEQ ID NOS: 3, 7, 32-66, 69 or 72 and in particular the PH20 polypeptide set forth in SEQ ID N03.
The modified PH20 polypeptide can exhibit hyaluronidase activity that is at least or about at least or 120%, 130%, 135%, 140%, 145%, 150%, 160%, 170%, 180%, 200%, 250%, 300%, 350%, 400%, 500%, 1500%, 2000%, 3000%, 4000%, 5000% ofthe hyaluronidase activity of the corresponding PH20 polypeptide not containing the amino acid replacement(s), for example the PH20 polypeptide set forth in any of any of SEQ ID NOS: 2, 3, 6-66, 68-72, 856-861, 869 or 870 or a variant thereof, under the same conditions. For example, the hyaluronidase activity is increased at least or about at least ld, 1.5-fold, 2-fold, 3-fold, 4-fold, 5-fold, 6-fold, , 8-fold, 9-fold, d, 11-fold, 12-fold, 13-fold, 14-fold, 15- fold, 16-fold, d, 18-fold, d, 20-fold, 25-fold, 30-fold, 40-fold, 50-fold, 60-fold, 70-fold, 80-fold, 90-fold, ld, 200-fold, 300-fold, 400-fold or more.
In particular examples, the modified PH20 polypeptides contain an amino acid replacement at one or more amino acid positions identified as being ated With increased hyaluronidase ty. As described herein, such positions have been fied using nesis and selection or ing methods to identify those positions that result in increased hyaluronidase activity. The PH20 polypeptide also can contain other modifications, such as other amino acid replacements, that alone are not associated With increased activity so long as the resulting modified PH20 polypeptide ts increased hyaluronidase ty compared to the PH20 not containing the amino acid ation(s), such as amino acid replacement(s). The modified PH20 polypeptide provided herein can contain 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48,49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, or more amino acid replacements. Additional modifications, such as insertions or deletions, also can be included.

Exemplary excipients e, but are not limited to, antiadherents, binders, coatings, fillers and diluents, , colors, lubricants, glidants, vatives, sorbents or sweeteners. For example, various excipients, such as preservatives, can act as protein denaturing agents. d PH20 polypeptides provided herein that exhibit increased protein stability exhibit d aggregation, reduced precipitation and/or increased activity When d to a denaturation condition compared to the corresponding PH20 not containing the amino acid replacement.

The PH20 polypeptides provided herein that exhibit increased stability are modified or variant PH20 polypeptides that n an amino acid replacement (substitution), deletion or insertion or other modification. Typically, the PH20 polypeptides provided herein that exhibit increased stability contain one or more amino acid replacements in a PH20 ptide compared to the corresponding PH20 polypeptide not containing the amino acid replacement(s), for example, the PH20 polypeptide set forth in any of SEQ ID NOS: 2, 3, 6- 66, 68-72, 856-861, 869 or 870 or a variant thereof having at least 75%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 86%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or more sequence identity thereto.

In particular examples, the modified PH20 polypeptides contain an amino acid replacement at one or more amino acid ons identified as being associated With increased stability. As described herein, such positions can be identified using mutagenesis and WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 —124— selection or screening methods to fy those positions that result in stability (e.g., increased activity) of the polypeptide compared to the ponding PH2O not containing the modification upon re to one or more ration conditions. The PH2O polypeptide also can contain other modifications, such as other amino acid replacements, that alone are not associated With conferring stability, so long as the resulting modified PH2O polypeptide exhibits increased stability under one or more denaturation conditions compared to the PH2O not ning the amino acid modification(s), such as amino acid replacement(s), and exhibits hyaluronidase actiVity. The modified PH2O polypeptide provided herein can contain 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48,49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, or more amino acid replacements.

For example, the replacements can be in a human PH2O polypeptide, for example, any set forth in any of SEQ ID NOS: 3, 7, 32-66, 69 or 72 or a variant thereof.
Exemplary of modified PH2O polypeptides provided herein are PH2O polypeptides that t increased stability upon exposure to phenol compounds, high temperature (heat), and/or lack of NaCl. i. Phenophiles Provided herein are modified PH2O polypeptides that exhibit increased stability in the presence of phenolic compounds. Multidose formulations must contain crobial preservatives to protect them from microbial contamination. For parenteral drug ts, including insulin and other therapeutic agents, the most common preservatives are phenolic compounds, such as phenol, metacresol (m—cresol), benzyl alcohol, and parabens including paraben and propylparaben. The preservatives typically must be present at sufficient concentrations to y regulatory rules. For example, tory requirements assert that the antimicrobial efficacy of the formulation must satisfy the vative y test (PET) requirements of the target markets. Currently different regulatory agencies have different pharmacopeial criteria for antimicrobial effectiveness for pharmaceutical ts designed for multiple dosing. The PET requirements of the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) and the European Pharmacopoeia (EP) differ considerably, imposing onal constraints in WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 developing multidose formulations. Table 4 shows the criteria for inj ectable drugs to meet USP and EP criteria. lly, formulations that meet EP (EPA or EPB) anti-microbial requirements contain more preservative than those formulated only to meet USP anti- microbial requirements.

Anti-microbial vatives can interact with ns resulting in aggregations and negative effects on stability. Thus, although a necessary component, preservatives pose a significant problem in the development of stable, multidose formulations of proteins because they typically induce aggregation of the protein in aqueous solution. In particular, increasing or high amounts of preservatives can negatively impact the stability of a protein, including effects on physical stability (aggregation or precipitation) that can impact protein activity.
For example, to meet the EP preservative efficacy requirements, relatively high s of phenolic compounds, such as phenol or m-cresol, can be required, which can influence stability of the protein formulation. For example, preservatives such as phenol, m-cresol, and benzyl alcohol have been shown to induce ation of human grth hormone (Maa and Hsu (1996) Int. J. Pharm.140:155—168), recombinant eukin-1 or (Remmele (1998) Pharm. Res.15:200—208), human insulin-like growth factorl (Fransson (1997) Pharm. Res. 14:606—612), rthN—y (Lam (1997) Pharm. Res. 14:725—729) and cytochrome c (Singh et al. (2011) J. Pharm Sci., 100:1679-89). The ilizing effect that preservatives have on WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 proteins in solution has been a limiting factor in the pment of multidose formulations, and to date, most protein eutics have been formulated for single use only.
PH20 hyaluronidase, such as rHuPH20, rapidly loses activity in the presence of preservatives, likely due to unfolding of the protein and subsequent aggregate formation. For example, as shown in the Examples herein, vatives reduce PH20 enzymatic activity, particularly at elevated temperatures (see also U.S. Provisional Appl. No.61/520,962; and U.S. Application Nos. 13/507,263 and 13/507,262). For example, following incubation with 0.4% m-cresol for 4 hours, PH20 (e.g., rHuPH20) retains only about 10% of its activity (see e.g., Example 5). When incubated in the presence of 0.1% phenol and 0.15% or 0.315% m- cresol for 6 days at 37 OC, PH20 (e.g., 0) s about 0% to 15% ty, depending on the presence of other excipients or amounts of other excipients in the formulation (see e.g., Examples 9 and 10). For example, the presence of a higher concentration of salt generally increases the stability of PH20. In particular, the melting temperature of PH20, such as rHuPH20, is d significantly when phenolic preservatives, such as m—Cresol, are added to the formulation. For e, the unfolding temperature of rHuPH20 is reduced from 44 0C to 24 OC. The lower PH20 unfolding temperatures leads to increased PH20 aggregation, especially at ed temperatures, and reduced enzyme activity. The destabilizing effect is likely due to the hydrophobic nature of the phenolic preservatives. The hydrophobicity of the phenolic compounds can lead to interaction with rHuPH20 through nonspecific binding to the protein, ultimately bing the structural integrity of rHuPH20. This ates to a significant loss ofrHuPH20 enzymatic activity in the presence of preservatives.
The modified PH20 polypeptides provided herein that exhibit sed stability in the presence of phenolic preservatives exhibit more than 15% enzymatic activity in the presence of at least one phenolic vative for at least 4 hours, 5 hours, 6 hours, 7 hours, 8 hours, 9 hours, 10 hours, 11 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 6 days, 7 days, 8 days, 9 days, 10 days, 11 days, 12 days, 13 days, 14 days, 3 weeks, 4 weeks or more compared to the enzymatic activity of the modified PH20 polypeptide in the absence of preservative for the same time period and under the same conditions (except for the presence of preservative). In some examples, the modified PH20 polypeptides provided herein exhibit at least 16%, 17%, 18%, 19%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95% or more enzymatic ty in the ce of a phenolic preservative compared to in the absence of preservative. For example, the phenolic preservative compound can be phenol, metacresol (m—cresol), benzyl alcohol, and/or parabens including paraben or propylparaben.
WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 -l27- In particular examples, the increased stability in the presence of preservative is exhibited under temperature conditions of between or about between 0 0C to 40 0C, such as n or about between 2 0C to 6 0C, 24 0C to 32 0C or 35 0C to 40 OC, and generally at or about at 4 0C or 5 0C, 30 0C or 37 °C. It is understood that since high temperature also can have a destabilizing effect on PH20 activity (see below), the percentage of tic ty of a modified PH20 polypeptide provided herein in the presence of preservative is greater at lower temperatures than at higher temperatures.

Absence of Salt PH20 denatures in the presence of low salt or no salt. Thus, PH20 requires a high salt concentration of between or about between 140 mM to 200 mM to maintain stability. Other therapeutic agents, for example insulin, exhibit decreased solubility and increased crystallization/aggregation in the presence of high salt. Thus, the high salt requirements of PH20 can affect the solubility and/or activity of co-formulated eutic agents, while the presence of low salt can decrease the activity of PH20. This can create ms for generating PH20 co-formulations.
Provided herein are modified PH20 ptides that exhibit increased stability in the presence of low concentrations of salt (e. g. NaCl) less than 100 mM, for example, less than 90 mM, 80mM, 70mM, 60 mM, 50 mM, 40 mM, 30 mM, 25 mM, 20 mM, 15 mM, 10 mM, 5 mM or less. Generally, the modified PH20 polypeptides provided herein exhibit stability in the presence of low concentrations of salt, for e, low concentrations ofNaCl of between or about between 10 mM NaCl and 100 mM NaCl, such as between or about between 15 mM to 80 mM NaCl. The modified PH20 polypeptides provided herein that exhibit stability at low concentrations of salt, such as low concentrations ofNaCl (i.e., less than 100 mM or less), exhibit increased hyaluronidase activity compared to the corresponding PH20 not containing the modification(s) (e.g., amino acid ements). For example, WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 modified PH20 polypeptides exhibit greater than or about 10% increased activity, such as greater than or at least 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%, 200%, 300%, 400%, 500% or more of activity at low concentrations of salt, such as low trations of NaCl (i.e., less than 100 mM), compared to the actiVity of the corresponding PH20 not containing the amino acid modification(s) (e.g., amino acid replacement(s) under the same conditions). For example, modified PH20 polypeptides exhibit greater than or at least about 1.1-fold the hyaluronidase activity, such as r than or at least 1.2-fold, 1.3-fold, 1.4-fold, 1.5-fold, 1.6-fold, 1.7-fold, 1.8-fold, 1.9-fold, 2-fold, 3-fold, 4-fold, 5-fold or more of actiVity at low concentrations ofNaCl less than 100 mM compared to the actiVity of the corresponding PH20 not containing the amino acid modification(s) (e.g., amino acid replacement(s) under the same ions. 2. ve Mutants Provided herein are modified PH20 polypeptides that contain one or more amino acid replacements in a PH20 ptide and that are inactive, Whereby the ptides do not t hyaluronidase actiVity or exhibit low or diminished hyaluronidase activity. The modified PH20 polypeptides provided herein that are inactive generally exhibit less than 20%, such as less than 10%, of the hyaluronidase actiVity of a Wildtype or reference PH20 polypeptide, such as the polypeptide set forth in SEQ ID NO: 3 or 7. For example, modified PH20 polypeptides provided herein that are inactive t less than 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%, 0.9%, 0.8%, 0.7%, 0.6%, 0.5%, 0.4%, 0.3%, 0.2%, 0.1%, 0.05% or less of the onidase activity of a Wildtype or reference PH20 polypeptide, such as the corresponding polypeptide not containing the amino acid modification (e. g. , amino acid replacement), for example, a polypeptide set forth in SEQ ID N03 or 7.
For example, provided herein are PH20 polypeptides that are inactive and that are modified, for example by amino acid replacement or substitution, ed to a Wildtype or reference PH20 polypeptide. For example, a modified PH20 polypeptide provided herein that is inactive contains one or more amino acid replacements at position(s) corresponding to position 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 27, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 94, 95, 96, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106,107, 9,110,111,112,113,114,115,116,117,118,119,121,122,123,124,125,126,127, 128,129,130,131,132,133,134,135,136,137,138,139,143,144,145,149,150,152,153, 154,155,156,157,158,159,161,163,164,165,166,167,168,169,170,171,172,173,174, 175,176,178,179,180,181,182,183,184,185,186,187,188,189,190,191,192,193,194, WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 195,197,198,199, 200, 201, 202, 203, 204, 206, 207, 208, 209, 210, 211, 212, 213, 214, 215, 216, 217, 218, 219, 220, 221, 222, 223, 224, 225, 226, 227, 228, 229, 230, 231, 232, 233, 234, 235, 236, 238, 239, 240, 241, 242, 243, 244, 245, 246, 247, 248, 249, 250, 251, 252, 253, 254, 255, 256, 257, 258, 260, 261, 262, 263, 264, 265, 266, 267, 268, 269, 270, 271, 272, 273, 274, 275, 276, 278, 279, 280, 282, 283, 284, 285, 286, 287, 288, 289, 290, 291, 292, 293, 294, 295, 296, 297, 298, 299, 300, 301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306, 307, 308, 310, 311, 312, 313, 314, 315, 316, 317, 318, 319, 320, 321, 322, 323, 324, 325, 326, 327, 331, 333, 334, 335, 336, 337, 338, 339, 340, 341, 342, 343, 344, 345, 346, 347, 348, 349, 350, 351, 352, 353, 354, 355, 356, 357, 358, 359, 360, 361, 362, 363, 364, 365, 366, 367, 368, 369, 370, 371, 372, 373, 374, 375, 376, 377, 378, 379, 380, 381, 382, 383, 384, 385, 386, 387, 388, 389, 390, 391, 392, 393, 394, 395, 396, 397, 398, 399, 400, 401, 402, 403, 404, 405, 406, 408, 410, 411, 412, 413, 414, 415, 416, 417, 419, 420, 422, 423, 424, 425, 426, 427, 428, 429, 430, 431, 432, 434, 437, 438, 439, 440, 441, 442, 443, 444, or 447 With reference to amino acid positions set forth in SEQ ID NO:3, so long as the resulting modified PH20 polypeptide is inactive and exhibits less than 20%, and generally less than 10%, of the hyaluronidase activity of the ponding PH20 polypeptide not containing the amino acid replacement. Typically, the amino acid residue that is modified (e.g., replaced) at the position corresponding to any of the above positions in a PH20 polypeptide is an identical residue, a conservative residue or a semi-conservative amino acid residue to the amino acid e set forth in SEQ ID NO:3.

Additional Modifications and Conjugates The modified PH20 polypeptides include those that contain chemical or posttranslational modifications. In some examples, modified PH20 polypeptides provided herein do not contain chemical or posttranslational modifications. Chemical and post- translational modifications include, but are not limited to, tion, sialation, albumination, glycosylation, famysylation, ylation, hydroxylation, orylation, and other polypeptide modifications known in the art.
Also, in addition to any one or more amino acid modifications, such as amino acid replacements, provided herein, modified PH20 polypeptides provided herein can be conjugated or fused to any moiety using any method known in the art, including chemical and inant methods, provided the resulting ptide s hyaluronidase activity. For example, in addition to any one or more amino acid modifications, such as amino acid replacements, provided herein, modified PH20 ptides provided herein also can contain other modifications that are or are not in the primary sequence of the polypeptide, including, but not limited to, modification With a carbohydrate moiety, a polyethylene glycol (PEG) moiety, a sialic acid moiety, an F0 domain from immunoglobulin G, or any other domain or moiety. For example, such additional ations can be made to increase the stability or serum half-life of the protein.
In some instances, the domain or other moiety is a targeted agent, including any agent that targets the conjugate to one or more cell types by selectively binding to a cell surface receptor or other cell surface moiety. For e, the domain or other moiety is a targeted agent that targets the conjugate to tumor cells. In such examples, a modified PH20 WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 —145— polypeptide, such as any provided herein, is linked directly or indirectly to a targeted agent.
Such targeting agents include, but are not d to, growth factors, cytokines, chemokines, antibodies, and hormones, or allelic variants, muteins, or fragments f so long as the targeting agent is internalized by a cell surface receptor. Exemplary, non-limiting, additional modifications are described below. a. Decreased immunogenicity The modified PH20 polypeptides provided herein can be made to have decreased immunogenicity. Decreased immunogenicity can be ed by sequence changes that elimiminate antigenic epitopes from the polypeptide or by altering post-translational modifications. One of skill in the art is familiar with methods of identifiying antigenic epitopes in a polypeptide (see e.g., Liang et al. (2009) BMC Bioinformatics, 10:302; Yang et al. (2009) Rev. Med. Virol., 19:77-96). In some examples, one or more amino acids can be modified in order to remove or alter an antigenic epitope.
In another example, altering the glycosylation of a protein also can effect immunogenecity. For example, altering the glycosylation of the peptide is contemplated, so long as the polypeptides minimally contain at least N-acetylglucosamine at amino acid es corresponding to amino acid residues set forth as N200, N333 and N358 of SEQ ID N03 or 7.
For example, the PH20 polypeptides can be modified such that they lack fucose, particularly sylation. In particular, the PH20 polypeptides provided herein are not bifucosylated. This can be ed by expressing and producing the PH20 polypeptide in host cells that do not effect bifucosylation. Fucose is a deoxyhexose that is present in a wide variety of sms, including mammals, s and plants. lated glycans are synthesized by l-transferases; see, e. g., Ma et al., Glycobiology, 16(12):158R-l 84R, (2006); Nakayama et al., J. Biol. Chem, 276:16100-16106 (2001); and Sturla et al., Glycobiology, 15(10):924-935 (2005). In humans, fucose ntly exists as a terminal modification to glycan structures, and the presence of fucose (x1,6-linl acetylglucosamine has been shown to be important in rotein processing and recognition. In insects, N-glycan core ures t bifucosylation with 0t],6- and (11,3- linkages. Insect cell core fucosylation with 0t],3-linkages generates a carbohydrate epitope that is immunogenic in humans (see, e.g., US Publication No. 20070067855). For e, PH20 polypeptides provided herein can be generated in host cells that are incapable of bifucosylating the polypeptide. Thus, while insect cells or other cells that bifucosylate can be used for expression of the polypeptides, typically mammalian cells, such as CHO cells, are used.
WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 In some examples, defucosylated, or fucose-deficient PH20 ptides can be generated in insect cells with modified glycosylation pathways, through the use of baculovirus expression vectors containing eukaryotic oligosaccharide processing genes, thereby creating "mammalianized" insect cell expression s (see, e.g., US Patent No. 6,461,863). Alternatively, antigenicity can be eliminated by expression of PH20 polypeptides in insect cells g al,3-fucosylatransferase (FT3) (see, e.g., US Publication No. 20070067855). In other examples, defucosylated or fucose-deficient PH20 polypeptides can be generated, for example, in cell lines that produce defucosylated proteins, including Lec13 CHO cells deficient in protein fucosylation (Ripka et al. Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 249:533- 545 (1986); U.S. Pat. Pub. No. 2003/0157108; and WO 2004/056312), and knockout cell lines, such as alpha-1,6-fiJcosyltransferase gene, FUT8, ut CHO cells (Yamane- Ohnuki et al. h. Bioeng. 87: 614 (2004)). b. Conjugation to polymers In some examples, the modified PH20 polypeptides provided herein are conjugated to polymers. ary polymers that can be conjugated to the PH20 polypeptides, include natural and synthetic homopolymers, such as polyols (i.e., poly-OH), polyamines (i.e., poly- NH2) and polycarboxylic acids (i.e., poly-COOH), and further heteropolymers, i.e., polymers containing one or more different coupling groups, e.g., hydroxyl groups and amine groups.
Examples of suitable polymeric les include polymeric molecules selected from among polyalkylene oxides (PAO), such as polyalkylene glycols (PAG), including polyethylene glycols (PEG), methoxypolyethylene glycols (mPEG) and polypropylene glycols, PEG- glycidyl ethers (Epox-PEG), PEG-oxycarbonylimidazole EG), ed polyethylene glycols (PEGs), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), rboxylates, polyvinylpyrrolidone, ,L- amino acids, polyethylene-co-maleic acid anhydride, polystyrene-co-maleic acid anhydride, ns including carboxymethyl-dextrans, heparin, homologous albumin, celluloses, including methylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, ethylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, carboxyethylcellulose and hydroxypropylcellulose, ysates of chitosan, starches such as hydroxyethyl-starches and hydroxypropyl-starches, glycogen, agaroses and derivatives thereof, guar gum, pullulan, inulin, n gum, carrageenan, pectin, alginic acid hydrolysates and bio-polymers.
Typically, the polymers are polyalkylene oxides (PAO), such as polyethylene oxides, such as PEG, typically mPEG, which have few reactive groups capable of cross-linking.
Typically, the polymers are non-toxic polymeric molecules such as xy)polyethylene glycol (mPEG) which can be ntly conjugated to the PH20 polypeptides (e.g., to attachment groups on the protein surface) using a relatively simple chemistry.
WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 —147— Suitable polymeric molecules for attachment to the PH20 polypeptides include, but are not limited to, hylene glycol (PEG) and PEG derivatives such as y— hylene glycols (mPEG), ycidyl ethers (Epox-PEG), PEG-oxycarbonylimidazole (CDl-PEG), branched PEGs, and polyethylene oxide (PEO) (see e.g., Roberts et al., Advanced Drug Delivery Review 2002, 54:459-476; Harris and Zalipsky (eds.) "Poly(ethylene glycol), Chemistry and Biological Applications" ACS Symposium Series 680, 1997; Mehvar et al., J.
Pharm. ceut. Sci, 3(1):125-136, 2000; Harris and Chess (2003) Nat Rev Drug Discov. 2(3):214-21; and Tsubery, J Biol. Chem 279(37):38118-24, 2004). The polymeric molecule can be of a molecular weight typically ranging from about 3 kDa to about 60 kDa. In some embodiments the polymeric molecule that is conjugated to a PH20 polypeptide ed herein has a molecular weight of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60 or more than 60 kDa.
Various methods of modifying polypeptides by covalently attaching (conjugating) a PEG or PEG derivative (i. e., "PEGylation") are known in the art (see e.g., US. 104968; US. 5,672,662; US. 6,737,505; and US. 2004/0235734). Techniques for PEGylation include, but are not limited to, lized linkers and coupling chemistries (see e. g., s, Adv. Drug Deliv. Rev. 54:459-476, 2002), attachment of multiple PEG moieties to a single conjugation site (such as via use of branched PEGs; see e.g., Guiotto et al., Bioorg.
Med. Chem. Lett. 12:177-180, 2002), site-specific PEGylation and/or EGylation (see e. g., Chapman et al., Nature Biotech. 17:780-783, 1999), and site-directed enzymatic PEGylation (see e. g., Sato, Adv. Drug Deliv. Rev., 54:487-504, 2002) (see, also, for example, Lu and Felix (1994) Int. J. Peptide Protein Res. 43:127-138; Lu and Felix (1993) Peptide Res. 6:140-6, 1993; Felix et al. (1995) Int. J.

Rev. 55(10):1261-77 and Molineux (2003) Pharmacotherapy 23 (8 Pt 2):3S-8 S). s and techniques described in the art can produce proteins having 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 or more than 10 PEG or PEG derivatives attached to a single protein molecule (see e.g., US. 2006/0104968).

D. METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING MODIFIED HYALURONAN-DEGRADING ENZYMES WITH ALTERED PROPERTIES OR ACTIVITIES Provided herein are methods for identifying a modified or variant onan- degrading enzyme, such as a modified hyaluronidase or modified PH20 polypeptide, that exhibits an altered activity or property compared to an unmodified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme. In particular, the methods provided herein can be used to screen for one or more modified hyaluronan-degrading enzymes, such as one or more d onidase or PH20 polypeptide, that exhibits increased actiVity and/or increased stability in the presence of a denaturation agent or condition. For example, the methods can be used to identify a modified or variant hyaluronan-degrading enzyme, such as a modified or variant hyaluronidase or modified or variant PH20 ptide, that exhibits increased stability by virtue of increased resistance to denaturation conditions, including but not limited to, ration conditions caused by temperature (e.g., elevated temperature such as heat), agitation, no or low salt, presence of an excipient and/or a ring agent. Exemplary denaturing agents or excipients include, but are not limited to, antiadherents, binders, coatings, fillers and diluents, flavors, , lubricants, glidants, preservatives, sorbents or sweeteners. For example, various ents, such as preservatives, can act as protein denaturing agents. In the method, the actiVity also can be compared to an fied hyaluronan-degrading enzyme under the same denaturation condition, and a modified WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 —149— hyaluronan-degrading enzyme identified or selected that exhibits greater activity than the corresponding unmodified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme.
In the method, one or more modified hyaluronan-degrading enzymes are provided. In some examples, a library ofmodified molecules is ed. Methods of mutagenesis and generation of libraries or collections of t molecules is described herein and is known to one of skill in the art using standard recombinant DNA techniques. In one example, the enzymes that are tested can be pooled and screened, whereby the method permits selection of only those enzymes that exhibit a desired activity. In r example, the tested enzymes can be physically separated and screened individually, such as by formatting in arrays, such as addressable arrays.
In one aspect of the method, the modified hyaluronan-degrading enzymes are tested or screened for hyaluronidase activity in the presence and absence of one or more denaturation conditions or denaturing agent. After testing under both sets of ions, the activities are assessed in order to identify modified hyaluronan-degrading enzymes that exhibit activity in the presence of the denaturation condition. The desired level or amount of ty selected as a cut-off in the methods can be empirically determined by the user, and is dependent on factors such as the particular onan-degrading enzyme, the desired application or use of the hyaluronan-degrading enzyme, the particular ration condition or denaturing agent and other similar factors. Typically, a modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme is identified that exhibits at least 5% or 10% of the activity in the presence of a denaturing agent or ion ed to in its absence, and generally at least 15%, 20%, %, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95% or more, for example at least 40% of the activity.
Additionally or alternatively, the activity of the modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme in the presence of one or more denaturation conditions or denaturing agents is compared to the activity of the corresponding unmodified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme in the presence of the same denaturation agent(s) or ion(s). In such es, it is understood that the ty of the modified and fied enzyme are tested under the same conditions (e.g., time, temperature, composition), except for the difference in the particular enzyme tested (unmodified versus modified). A modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme is identified that exhibits greater activity, such as at least 110%, 120%, 130%, 140%, 150%, 160%, 170%, 180%, 190%, 200%, 250%, 300%, 400%, 500% or more ofthe activity ofthe unmodified hyaluronan-degrading .
The method can be performed a plurality of times, Whereby the steps of the method are repeated 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 times. The method provided herein also is iterative. In one WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 example, after the method is performed, any identified modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme can be modified or further modified to increase or optimize the activity.
A description of the steps of the method and components of the method are provided in the subsections that follow. 1. Hyaluronan-Degrading Enzymes and Libraries of Modified Hyaluronan- Degrading Enzymes In the methods herein, one or more modified onan-degrading enzymes, such as a hyaluronidase or a PH20 polypeptide, are tested for a desired activity or property, such as increased stability (e. g., increased resistance to a denaturation condition). The modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme can be d compared to an unmodified hyaluronan- degrading enzyme, such as any hyaluronan-degrading enzyme known in the art. Hyaluronandegrading enzymes are a family of enzymes that degrade hyaluronic acid, which is an ial component of the extracellular matrix and a major tuent of the interstitial barrier. onan-degrading enzymes act to degrade hyaluronan by cleaving hyaluronan polymers, which are composed of repeating disaccharides units: uronic acid (Gch) and N—acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc), linked together via alternating B-l—>4 and B-l—>3 glycosidic bonds. By catalyzing the hydrolysis of hyaluronic acid, a major constituent of the interstitial barrier, hyaluronan-degrading enzymes lower the viscosity of hyaluronic acid, thereby increasing tissue bility. Accordingly, hyaluronan-degrading enzymes for the uses and methods provided herein include any enzyme having the ability to catalyze the cleavage of a onan disaccharide chain or polymer. In some es, the hyaluronan- ing enzyme cleaves the B-1—>4 glycosidic bond in the hyaluronan chain or polymer. In other examples, the hyaluronan-degrading enzyme catalyzes the cleavage of the B-l—>3 glycosidic bond in the hyaluronan chain or polymer.
Hyaluronan-degrading enzymes include enzymes that are membrane-bound or that are soluble forms that are secreted from cells. Thus, where hyaluronan-degrading enzymes e a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor signal sequence and/or are otherwise ne-anchored or insoluble, such hyaluronan-degrading enzymes can be provided in e form by C-terminal truncation or deletion of all or a portion of the GPI anchor signal sequence to render the enzyme secreted and soluble. Thus, hyaluronan-degrading enzymes include C-terminally truncated variants, e.g., truncated to remove all or a portion of a GPI anchor signal sequence. es of such soluble hyaluronidases are soluble PH20 hyaluronides, such as any set forth in US. Patent No. 7,767,429; US. Publication Nos. US 2004/0268425 and US 2010/0143457.
WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 -l5l- Exemplary hyaluronan-degrading enzymes are non-human animal or human hyaluronidases, bacterial hyaluronidases, hyaluronidases from leeches or chondroitinases that exhibit onan-degrading activity, including soluble or truncated forms thereof that are active. ary non-human animal hyaluronidases are any set forth in any of SEQ ID NOS: 8-31, 856-861, 869, 870, 6, or mature, C-terminally truncated variants that are e and active, or active forms thereof. Exemplary human hyaluronidases are any set forth in any of SEQ ID NOS: 2, 3, 6, 7, 32-66, 68-72 or 887-890, or mature, C-terminally truncated variants that are soluble and active, or active forms thereof, and in ular any of SEQ ID NOS: 3, 7, 32-66, 69 or 72. Exemplary bacterial hyaluronidases are any set forth in any of SEQ ID NOS: 891-919 or mature, C-terminally truncated variants that are soluble and active, or active forms thereof. Exemplary hyaluronidases from s are set forth in SEQ ID NO:920 or 921, or mature, C-terminally ted variants that are soluble and , or active forms thereof Exemplary chondroitinases that have hyaluronan-degrading enzyme actiVity are set forth in SEQ ID NO:922-924, or mature, C-terminally truncated variants that are soluble and active, or active forms thereof.
For example, one or more modified PH2O polypeptides are tested for a d actiVity or property, such as sed stability (e. g. , increased resistance to a denaturation condition). The modified PH2O polypeptide can be modified compared to an unmodified PH2O polypeptide, such as any known PH2O polypeptide native, wildtype or reference polypeptide. For example, the modified PH2O polypeptide is modified compared to a full- length, soluble or active form of a PH2O ptide, such as any set forth in any of SEQ ID NOS: 3, 7, 32-66, 69 or 72, or a polypeptide that exhibits at least 85%, such as at least 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or more sequence identity to any of SEQ ID NOS: 3, 7, 32-66, 69 or 72. In particular examples ofthe method herein, the starting or unmodified PH2O ptide has the sequence of amino acids set forth in SEQ ID NO:3.
Libraries or collections ofmodified hyaluronan-degrading s can be screened.
Hyaluronan-degrading enzymes can be modified by any process known to one of skill in the art that can alter the structure of a protein. Examples of modifications include replacement, addition, and on of one or more amino acids of the protein to form libraries or collections of modified hyaluronan-degrading enzymes. It is within the level of one of skill in the art to generate modified or variant proteins for use in the methods . Methods of mutagenesis are well known in the art and include, for example, site-directed mutagenesis such as for example QuikChange (Stratagene) or saturation mutagenesis. Mutagenesis methods include, but are not limited to, site-mediated mutagenesis, PCR mutagenesis, cassette WO 2013/102144 2012/072182 mutagenesis, site-directed mutagenesis, random point mutagenesis, mutagenesis using uracil containing templates, oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis, phosphorothioate-modified DNA mutagenesis, mutagenesis using gapped duplex DNA, point mismatch repair, mutagenesis using repair-deficient host strains, restriction-selection and restriction-purification, deletion mutagenesis, mutagenesis by total gene synthesis, double-strand break repair, and many others known to persons of skill. In the methods , mutagenesis can be effected across the full length of a protein or within a region of a protein. The mutations can be made rationally or randomly.
In some examples, the methods provided herein are performed such that the identity of each mutant protein is known a priori before the protein is . For example, the methods provided herein can be conducive to mutagenesis and screening or testing methods that are addressable. This can permit the ease of comparisons between the activities of tested proteins without the need for sequencing of identified proteins. For e, site-directed mutagenesis methods can be used to individually generate mutant proteins. Mutagenesis can be performed by the replacement of single amino acid residues at specific target positions one-by-one, such that each individual mutant generated is the single product of each single mutagenesis reaction. Mutant DNA les can be designed, generated by nesis and cloned individually, such as in addressable arrays, such that they are physically separated from each other and each one is the single t of an independent mutagenesis reaction.
The amino acids selected to replace the target positions on the particular protein being optimized can be either all of the remaining 19 amino acids, or a more restricted group containing only selected amino acids. In some methods provided herein, each amino acid that is replaced is independently replaced by 19 of the remaining amino acids or by less than 19 of the remaining amino acids, such as 10, ll, 12, l3, 14, 15, l6, 17 or 18 ofthe remaining amino acids. 2. Screening 0r Testing For A Desired Activity or Property The hyaluronidase ty or other ty of a composition containing a modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme is screened or tested under conditions that expose the hyaluronan-degrading enzyme to a denaturation condition or a denaturing agent (presence of denaturation condition or denaturing . The denaturing condition or ring agent need not be a condition or agent that is completely deadly to the enzyme, but generally is any condition or agent that destabilizes enzyme activity over time. For example, the denaturation condition can be a condition caused by ature (6.g. ed temperature such as greater , than or about or 30 0C, for e, 30 0C to 42 0C such as or about 37 oC), agitation, no or WO 02144 PCT/US2012/072182 low salt (e.g., NaCl), and/or caused by the presence of a denaturing agent, such as the presence of excipients (e.g., presence of preservatives).
For purposes of selecting or identifying a modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme that exhibits stability or increased stability under the denaturation condition, activity can be compared to activity of the modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme in the absence of the denaturation condition and/or activity of the ponding unmodified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme in the presence of the denaturation condition. For example, the modified hyaluronan- degrading enzyme also can be screened or tested under the same conditions, except not including a denaturing condition or denaturing agent (absence of denaturation condition or denaturing . If desired, the activity of the corresponding unmodified hyaluronan- degrading enzyme (e.g., the hyaluronan-degrading enzyme not containing the amino acid replacement(s)) can also be tested under the same conditions that expose the hyaluronan- degrading enzyme to the same denaturation condition or a ring agent.
For example, each member of a library or collection ofmodified hyaluronan- degrading enzymes is ted under or exposed to one or more denaturation conditions.
The incubation or exposure can occur in vivo or in vitro. Typically, the assay is performed in vitro. The same modified enzyme also is exposed or incubated to a reference or control condition that does not contain the denaturation condition. The activities under both conditions are compared in order to identify modified hyaluronan-degrading enzymes that exhibit stability upon re to a denaturation condition or conditions. Further, in screening or identifying the activity of the enzyme under the two different sets of conditions, generally the only conditions that are varied in the assay relate to the presence or absence of one or more denaturation conditions. The other conditions of the assay, including but not limited to, time, temperature and/or other incubation conditions, can be the same for both sets of conditions.
For example, exposure can be achieved by incubation of a d onan- ing enzyme in an assay buffer or ition that has been modified or adjusted to contain a denaturing agent such as an excipient or low or no salt. ary denaturing agents or excipients include, but are not limited to, antiadherents, binders, coatings, fillers and diluents, flavors, colors, lubricants, glidants, preservatives, sorbents or sweeteners. The choice of buffer that is used can be empirically determined by one skilled in the art depending on the particular parameter or ters being d. Exemplary assay s are Good’s buffers (see e.g., Good et al. (1966) Biochemistry, 5:467-477). Examples of such buffers include, but are not d to ACES, ADA, BES, Bicine, BIS-TRIS, CAPS, HEPES, MES, MOPS, PIPES, TRIS or Trizma® buffers. Further the amount or concentration of the , WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 —154— excipient or salt can be empirically determined by one of skill in the art ing on the choice of excipient or salt and the desired level or activity of the d hyaluronan- degrading enzyme.
In one example, the assay buffer or composition is modified by inclusion of an amount of a denaturing agent or denaturing excipient that is a preservative, for example, a ic preservative. The phenolic preservative can be phenol, metacresol sol), benzyl alcohol, and parabens including methylparaben and propylparaben. In particular, the phenolic vative is phenol and/or m-cresol. The total amount of one or more phenolic preservative agents as a tage (%) of mass concentration (w/v) can be between 0.05% to 0.6%, 0.1% to 0.4%, 0.1% to 0.3%, 0.15% to 0.325%, 0.15% to 0.25%, 0.1% to 0.2%, 0.2% to 0.3% or 0.3% to 0.4% inclusive. In such an example, the activity of the modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme is tested or assessed in the presence of such a total amount (e.g., between or about between 0.05% to 0.6%) of one or more preservatives, for example, one or more phenolic preservatives. In some examples, the modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme also can be tested or assessed under a l or reference condition in which the assay buffer or composition is not modified to contain a preservative. In certain instances, as a control, the activity of modified hyaluronan-degrading enzymes also can be compared to the corresponding unmodified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme not containing the ation(s) under conditions that contain a preservative agent and/or under conditions that do not contain a preservative agent.
In another example, the assay buffer is modified by the presence of a denaturation condition that is low or no salt. As discussed elsewhere herein, onan-degrading enzymes, such as PH20, generally require salt (e.g., NaCl, Lys-Lys or MgClz) for activity.
Hence, the absence of salt or low salt is ring to the enzyme. In one example, the assay buffer is modified by inclusion of an amount of salt that is less than 100 mM, for example, less than 90 mM, 80 mM, 70 mM, 60 mM, 50 mM, 40 mM, 30 mM, 25 mM, 20 mM, 15 mM, mM, 5 mM or less. In such an example, the activity of the modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme is tested in the absence of salt or in the presence of salt that is less than 100 mM. In some examples, the modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme also can be tested or assessed under a control or nce condition in which the assay buffer contains a higher salt concentration, generally between or about between 140 mM to 200 mM. In certain instances, as a control, the activity of d hyaluronan-degrading enzymes also can be compared to the corresponding fied hyaluronan-degrading enzyme not containing the modification(s) under conditions that contain low or no salt, such as less than 100 mM and/or WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 -l55- under conditions that n salt in an amount that is between or about between 140 mM to 200 mM.
Exposure of a hyaluronan-degrading enzyme to a denaturation condition also can be achieved by incubation of a modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme under conditions that are known to be denaturing, such as under conditions of ed temperature such as a temperature greater than or about or 30 OC (e.g., 30 0C to 42 0C such as or about 37 °C) or agitation. For example, the actiVity of the modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme is tested at elevated temperatures greater than or about or 30 °C to 42 °C. In some examples, the modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme also can be tested or assessed under a control or reference condition where the temperatures is less than 30 °C, such as n or about between 0 °C to 25 °C, for example, 0 °C to 5 °C or 18 °C to 25 °C. In n instances, as a control, the activity of modified hyaluronan-degrading enzymes also can be compared to the corresponding unmodified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme not ning the modification(s) under elevated temperatures greater than or about or 30 °C to 42 °C and/or temperatures is less than 30 °C, such as between or about n 0 °C to 25 °C, for example, 0 °C to 5 °C or 18 °C to 25 0C.
The modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme can be d to one or more than one of the conditions. The exposure to one condition can occur simultaneously, subsequently, ittently or periodically to re to one or more other conditions.
In one example, in the method herein, the d hyaluronan-degrading enzyme is incubated or exposed to the denaturation ion or denaturing agent prior to performing an assay for hyaluronidase actiVity. For example, the modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme is incubated in the presence of a denaturing agent or exposed to one or more denaturation conditions or control conditions, such as one or more of the denaturation ions or control conditions as described above. The incubation or exposure can be for any desired length of time, and can be empirically determined by one of skill in the art. For example, the modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme can be incubated or exposed to one or more denaturation conditions, ring agents or control conditions for or about for] minute to 1 month, such as 1 minute to 3 weeks, 1 minute to 2 weeks, 1 minute to 1 week, 1 minute to 24 hours, 1 minute to 12 hours, such as 30 minutes to 6 hours or 1 hour to 4 hours, and generally at least or about at least 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 5 hours, 6 hours, 7 hours, 8 hours, 9 hours, 10 hours, 11 hours or 12 hours. After the time of incubation or exposure, the sample or composition containing the modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme (or control unmodified enzyme) is assessed for hyaluronidase assay. In another example, the modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme is exposed or incubated under one or more denaturation WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 -l56- conditions and is simultaneously or concurrently ed for hyaluronidase activity. In any examples where a modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme is assessed, it is understood that an unmodified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme not containing the modifications(s) also can be assessed under similar assay conditions for comparison.
Assays to assess hyaluronidase actiVity are well known in the art. es of such assays are described in Section G. In one example, hyaluronidase activity can be assessed in a microturbidity assay, wherein the amount of undegraded HA is ed by the addition of a reagent that precipitates HA (e. g., Cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) or acidified serum) after the enzyme is allowed to react with HA. In r example, hyaluronidase ty can be assessed using a microtiter assay in which residual biotinylated hyaluronic acid is measured following incubation with hyaluronidase (see e.g., Frost and Stern (1997) Anal. Biochem. 251 :263-269, U.S. Pat. Publication No. 20050260186). The resulting activities under each of the tested ions is determined and compared. 3. Selection or Identification In the method, after screening modified hyaluronan-degrading enzymes under one or more denaturation conditions, the hyaluronidase actiVities of the tested s are compared. The method is practiced in order to identify a modified onan-degrading enzyme that is more resistant to denaturation by a condition or a ring agent, whereby the actiVity of the enzyme is tive of the stability of the enzyme as a measure of its resistance to denaturation. It is understood that some reduction of enzyme actiVity, as a result of denaturation, can be tolerated in various ations, and thus the method can be practiced to select for a modified onan-degrading enzymes that exhibits a requisite actiVity upon exposure to a denaturation condition to permit its use or application (e.g. , therapeutic activity). For example, a modified enzyme can be selected that loses ty more slowly than the ponding unmodified or reference hyaluronan-degrading enzyme, but whose retained actiVity is ent for a particular application or purpose.
In examples of the methods herein, the actiVity of the modified hyaluronan degrading enzyme is assessed upon exposure to a first denaturation ion and also assessed upon exposure to a second condition that is a control or non-denaturation condition, and the resulting hyaluronidase actiVities compared. For comparison, in some examples, the actiVity can be represented as a ratio of ty or a percentage of actiVity under a denaturation condition compared to under a control or non-denaturation condition. For example, where the parameter that differs between the first and second condition is the presence of preservative (e.g., phenolic preservative), activity can be ented as a ratio of activity or percentage of activity observed in the presence of preservative (e.g., phenolic preservative) versus activity WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 -l57- in the absence of preservative (e.g., phenolic preservative). In r example, Where the parameter that differs between the first and second condition is temperature, activity can be represented as a ratio of activity or percentage of activity observed in the presence of elevated temperature (e.g., 30 °C to 42 OC) ed to ty in the presence of a lower ature such as 0 °C to 25 °C, for example 0 °C to 5 °C or 18 °C to 25 °C.
A modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme is selected or identified that retains or exhibits any desired activity in the presence of the denaturation condition compared to in its absence. The particular cut-off of activity for selection of enzymes herein is dependent on the particular user and/or ce of the method and can be empirically determined depending on factors such as the particular denaturation condition or denaturing agent, the particular modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme, the desired application of the identified or selected hyaluronan-degrading enzyme and other similar factors. Generally, a selected or identified modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme exhibits ity if any detectable activity is measured or assessed upon exposure or incubation With a denaturation condition or denaturing agent. For example, a selected or identified modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme exhibits stability, or resistance to a denaturation condition or denaturing agent, if it exhibits at least 5% or 10% of the activity of the same enzyme in the absence of the ration condition or denaturing agent, and generally if the modified hyaluronan- degrading enzyme exhibits an activity that is at least 15% of the initial hyaluronidase activity prior to incubation in the presence of the denaturation condition. For example, a modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme is selected or identified that ts at least (or at least about) 16%, 17%, 18%, 19%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 100%, 110%, 120%, 130%, 140%, 150%, 200%, 300%, 400%, 500% or more of the initial hyaluronidase ty of the modified onan-degrading enzyme tested under a control or non-denaturation condition.
In other examples of the methods , the activity of the modified hyaluronan degrading enzyme is assessed upon exposure to a denaturation condition and the activity of the unmodified or reference hyaluronan-degrading enzyme also is assessed upon re to the same denaturation conditions. In such examples, the activities are compared When the enzymes are exposed to the same conditions. For comparison, the ty under a denaturation ion can be represented as a ratio of activity or a percentage of activity of a modified onan-degrading enzyme compared to an unmodified or reference hyaluronan- ing enzyme. In such examples, a modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme is selected that exhibits greater activity under a ration condition than the unmodified or reference hyaluronan-degrading enzyme. Thus, the modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme is one that WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 -l58- is more resistant to the condition. For example, Where the denaturation condition is the presence of preservative (e.g., phenolic preservative), the activity observed in the presence of preservative (e.g., phenolic preservative) can be represented as a ratio of activity or percentage of activity of the modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme compared to the unmodified or reference hyaluronan-degrading enzyme. In another example, Where the denaturation condition is high temperature, activity observed in the presence of elevated temperature (e.g., 30 °C to 42 0C) can be represented as a ratio of activity or percentage of activity of the modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme ed to the unmodified or reference hyaluronan-degrading .
In such examples, a modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme, such as a d PH20, is identified or selected that exhibits a ratio of ty that is greater than or at least 1.1, such that the enzyme exhibits greater activity than the unmodified or reference hyaluronan-degrading enzyme under the denaturation condition. For example, the ratio is at least or at least about 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0 or greater. A modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme (e.g., a modified PH20) can be selected if its activity is at least 120%, 130%, 140%, 150%, 160%, 170%, 180%, 190%, 200%, 250%, 300%, 400%, 500% or more of the activity of the fied or reference hyaluronan-degrading enzyme when tested under the same conditions. Thus, d hyaluronan-degrading enzymes are identified that t greater or improved stability compared to the unmodified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme or a reference hyaluronandegrading enzyme as sted by increased resistance to a denaturation condition or denaturing agent. 4. Iterative Methods The method provided herein also is iterative. In one example, after the method is performed, any modified hyaluronan-degrading enzymes fied as ting stability, such as increased ity, under a denaturation condition can be modified or r modified to increase or optimize the stability. A secondary library can be created by introducing additional modifications in a first identified modified hyaluronan-degrading enzyme. For example, modifications that were identified as conferring stability, such as increasing ity, can be combined to te a combinatorial library. The secondary library can be tested using the assays and methods described herein.
In another example of an iterative aspect of the method, modified hyaluronan- degrading enzymes that are identified as not exhibiting stability such as increased stability (6.g. , such that they are not active or do not have increased activity under the a denaturation condition), can be further d and retested for stability under a denaturation condition.
WO 2013/102144 2012/072182 The r modifications can be targeted near particular regions (e. g. amino acid , particular residues) associated with activity and/or stability of the molecule. For example, residues that are associated with activity and/or stability of the molecule generally are critical residues that are involved in the structural g or other activities of the molecule. Hence, such residues are required for activity, generally under any condition. Critical residues can be fied e, when mutated, a normal activity of the protein is ablated or reduced. For example, critical residues can be identified that, when mutated in a hyaluronan-degrading enzyme, exhibit reduced or ablated hyaluronidase activity under a normal or control assay condition.
A further library of modified proteins can be generated with amino acid mutations targeted at or near to the identified critical amino acid es, such as adjacent to the identified critical amino acid residues. In some examples, the mutations can be amino acid replacement to any other of up to 19 other amino acid residues. The secondary library can be tested using the assays and methods bed herein.
E. PRODUCTION OF MODIFIED PH20 POLYPEPTIDES AND ENCODING NUCLEIC ACID MOLECULES Polypeptides of a modified PH20 polypeptide set forth herein can be obtained by methods well known in the art for protein ation and recombinant protein expression.
Polypeptides also can be synthesized chemically. Modified or variant, including ted, forms can be engineered from a wildtype ptide using standard recombinant DNA s. For e, modified PH20 polypeptides can be engineered from a wildtype polypeptide, such as by site-directed mutagenesis. 1. Isolation 0r Preparation of Nucleic Acids Encoding PH20 Polypeptides Polypeptides can be cloned or isolated using any available methods known in the art for cloning and isolating nucleic acid molecules. Such methods include PCR amplification of nucleic acids and screening of libraries, including nucleic acid hybridization ing, dy-based screening and ty-based screening.
For example, when the polypeptides are produced by recombinant means, any method known to those of skill in the art for identification of nucleic acids that encode desired genes can be used. Any method available in the art can be used to obtain a full length or partial (i.e., encompassing the entire coding region) cDNA or genomic DNA clone encoding a PH20, such as from a cell or tissue source.
Methods for amplification of nucleic acids can be used to isolate nucleic acid molecules encoding a desired polypeptide, including for example, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods. Examples of such s include use of a Perkin-Elmer Cetus thermal cycler and Taq rase (Gene Amp). A nucleic acid containing material can be used as a WO 2013/102144 2012/072182 -l60- starting material from which a d polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid molecule can be isolated. For example, DNA and mRNA preparations, cell ts, tissue extracts, fluid samples (e.g., blood, serum, saliva), samples from healthy and/or ed subjects can be used in cation methods. The source can be from any eukaryotic species including, but not limited to, vertebrate, mammalian, human, porcine, bovine, feline, avian, equine, canine, and other primate sources. Nucleic acid libraries also can be used as a source of starting material. s can be designed to amplify a desired polypeptide. For example, primers can be designed based on expressed sequences from which a desired polypeptide is generated.
Primers can be designed based on back-translation of a polypeptide amino acid sequence. If desired, degenerate primers can be used for amplification. Oligonucleotide primers that hybridize to sequences at the 3’ and 5’ termini of the desired sequence can be uses as primers to amplify by PCR sequences from a nucleic acid sample. Primers can be used to amplify the entire full-length PH20, or a truncated sequence thereof, such as a nucleic acid ng any of the soluble PH20 polypeptides provided herein. Nucleic acid molecules generated by amplification can be sequenced and confirmed to encode a desired polypeptide.
Additional nucleotide sequences can be joined to a ptide-encoding nucleic acid molecule, including linker sequences containing ction endonuclease sites for the purpose of cloning the synthetic gene into a vector, for example, a protein expression vector or a vector designed for the cation of the core protein coding DNA sequences.
Furthermore, additional nucleotide sequences specifying functional DNA elements can be operatively linked to a polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid molecule. es of such sequences include, but are not limited to, promoter sequences designed to facilitate intracellular protein expression, and secretion sequences, for example heterologous signal sequences, designed to facilitate protein ion. Such sequences are known to those of skill in the art. For example, exemplary heterologous signal ces include, but are not d to, human and mouse kappa lgG heterologous signal sequences set forth in SEQ ID NO: 868. Additional nucleotide residue sequences such as sequences of bases specifying protein binding regions also can be linked to enzyme-encoding c acid les. Such regions include, but are not limited to, ces of residues that facilitate or encode proteins that facilitate uptake of an enzyme into specific target cells, or otherwise alter pharmacokinetics of a product of a synthetic gene.
In addition, tags or other moieties can be added, for example, to aid in detection or affinity purification of the polypeptide. For example, additional nucleotide residue ces such as sequences of bases specifying an epitope tag or other detectable marker also can be WO 02144 PCT/US2012/072182 -l6l- linked to enzyme-encoding nucleic acid molecules. es of such sequences include nucleic acid sequences encoding a His tag or Flag Tag.
The identified and isolated c acids can then be inserted into an appropriate cloning vector. A large number of vector-host systems known in the art can be used.
Possible vectors include, but are not limited to, ds or modified viruses, but the vector system must be compatible with the host cell used. Such vectors include, but are not limited to, bacteriophages such as lambda derivatives, or plasmids such as pCMV4, pBR322 or pUC plasmid tives or the Bluescript vector agene, La Jolla, CA). Other expression vectors include the H224 expression vector exemplified herein (see e.g., SEQ ID NOS:4 and 5). The insertion into a cloning vector can, for example, be accomplished by ligating the DNA fragment into a g vector which has complementary cohesive termini. Insertion can be effected using TOPO cloning vectors (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA).
If the complementary restriction sites used to fragment the DNA are not present in the cloning vector, the ends of the DNA molecules can be tically modified. atively, any site desired can be produced by ligating nucleotide sequences (linkers) onto the DNA termini; these ligated linkers can contain specific chemically synthesized oligonucleotides encoding restriction endonuclease recognition sequences. In an alternative , the cleaved vector and protein gene can be modified by homopolymeric tailing.
Recombinant molecules can be introduced into host cells via, for example, transformation, transfection, infection, electroporation and sonoporation, so that many copies of the gene sequence are generated. In specific embodiments, ormation of host cells with recombinant DNA molecules that incorporate the ed protein gene, cDNA, or synthesized DNA sequence enables generation of multiple copies of the gene. Thus, the gene can be obtained in large quantities by growing transformants, isolating the recombinant DNA les from the transformants and, when necessary, retrieving the inserted gene from the isolated inant DNA.
In addition to recombinant production, modified PH20 polypeptides provided herein can be produced by direct peptide synthesis using solid-phase techniques (see e. g., Stewart et al. (1969) Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis, WH Freeman Co., San Francisco; Merrifield J (1963) JAm Chem Soc., 85:2149-2154). In vitro n synthesis can be performed using manual techniques or by automation. Automated synthesis can be achieved, for example, using Applied Biosystems 431A Peptide Synthesizer (Perkin Elmer, Foster City CA) in accordance with the instructions provided by the manufacturer. Various fragments of a polypeptide can be ally synthesized separately and combined using chemical methods.

Such cells include bacterial cells, yeast cells, fungal cells, Archea, plant cells, insect cells and animal cells. The cells are used to produce a protein thereof by growing the above-described cells under conditions Whereby the encoded protein is expressed by the cell, and ring the expressed protein. For purposes herein, for example, the enzyme can be secreted into the medium.
A host cell strain can be chosen for its ability to modulate the expression of the inserted sequences or to s the expressed protein in the desired fashion. Such modifications of the polypeptide include, but are not limited to, acetylation, carboxylation, glycosylation, phosphorylation, lipidation and acylation. Post-translational processing can impact the g and/or function of the polypeptide. Different host cells, such as, but not limited to, CH0 (DG44, DXBl l, CHO-Kl), HeLa, MCDK, 293 and W138 have specific cellular machinery and characteristic mechanisms for such post-translational activities and can be chosen to ensure the correct modification and processing of the introduced protein.
Generally, the choice of cell is one that is capable of introducing N—linked glycosylation into the expressed ptide. Hence, eukaryotic cells containing the vectors are provided.
WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 Exemplary eukaryotic cells are mammalian Chinese r Ovary (CHO) cells. For e, CHO cells deficient in dihydrofolate reductase (e.g., DG44 cells) are used to e polypeptides provided herein. Note that bacterial expression of an PH20 polypepyideprovided herein will not result in a catalytically active ptide, but when combined with proper glycosylation ery, the PH20 can be artificially glycosylated.
Provided are vectors that contain a sequence of nucleotides that encodes the modified PH20 polypeptide, coupled to the native or heterologous signal sequence, as well as multiple copies thereof. The vectors can be selected for expression of the enzyme n in the cell or such that the enzyme protein is expressed as a secreted protein.
A variety of host-vector systems can be used to express the protein encoding ce. These include but are not limited to mammalian cell systems infected with Virus (e.g. , vaccinia Virus, adenovirus and other Viruses); insect cell systems infected with Virus (e.g., baculovirus); microorganisms such as yeast containing yeast vectors; or bacteria transformed with bacteriophage, DNA, d DNA, or cosmid DNA. The expression ts of vectors vary in their strengths and specificities. Depending on the host-vector system used, any one of a number of suitable transcription and translation elements can be used.
Any methods known to those of skill in the art for the insertion of DNA nts into a vector can be used to construct expression vectors containing a chimeric gene containing riate transcriptional/translational control signals and protein coding sequences. These methods can include in vitro recombinant DNA and synthetic techniques and in vivo recombinants (genetic recombination). Expression of nucleic acid sequences encoding protein, or domains, derivatives, fragments or gs thereof, can be regulated by a second nucleic acid sequence so that the genes or fragments thereof are expressed in a host transformed with the inant DNA molecule(s). For example, expression of the proteins can be controlled by any promoter/enhancer known in the art. In a specific embodiment, the promoter is not native to the genes for a desired n. Promoters which can be used include, but are not d to, the SV40 early promoter (Bemoist and Chambon, Nature 290:304-310 (1981)), the promoter contained in the 3’ long terminal repeat of Rous sarcoma Virus oto et al.

USA 80:21-25 (1983); see also Gilbert and Villa-Komaroff, "Useful Proteins from Recombinant WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 Bacteria," Scientific American 242:74-94 (1980)); plant expression vector promoters, such as the nopaline synthetase promoter (Herrera-Estrella et al., Nature 303 13 (1984)) or the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S RNA promoter (Gardner et al. Nucleic Acids Res. 9:2871 , (1981)), and the er of the photosynthetic enzyme ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase (Herrera-Estrella et al., Nature 310:115-120 (1984)); promoter elements from yeast and other fungi such as the Gal4 promoter, the alcohol ogenase promoter, the phosphoglycerol kinase promoter, the alkaline phosphatase promoter, and the following animal transcriptional control regions that exhibit tissue specificity and have been used in enic animals: se I gene control region which is active in pancreatic acinar cells (Swift et al., Cell 38:639-646 (1984); Ornitz et al., Cold Spring Harbor Symp. Quant. Biol. 50:399-409 (1986); MacDonald, Hepatology 7:425-5 15 ); insulin gene control region which is active in pancreatic beta cells an et al., Nature 315:115-122 (1985)), immunoglobulin gene l region which is active in lymphoid cells (Grosschedl et al., Cell 38:647-65 8 (1984); Adams et al., Nature 318:533-538 (1985); Alexander et al., Mol.

In a specific embodiment, a vector is used that contains a promoter operably linked to nucleic acids encoding a desired protein, or a domain, nt, derivative or homolog thereof, one or more origins of ation, and optionally, one or more selectable markers (e.g., an antibiotic resistance gene). Depending on the expression system, specific initiation signals also are required for efficient translation of a PH20 sequence. These signals include the ATG initiation codon and adjacent sequences. In cases where the initiation codon and upstream sequences of PH20 or soluble forms thereof are inserted into the appropriate expression vector, no additional translational control signals are needed. In cases where only a coding sequence, or a portion thereof, is inserted, exogenous transcriptional control signals WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 -l65- including the ATG initiation codon must be provided. Furthermore, the initiation codon must be in the correct reading frame to ensure transcription of the entire insert. Exogenous riptional elements and tion codons can be of various origins, both natural and tic. The efficiency of expression can be enhanced by the inclusion of ers appropriate to the cell system in use (Scharf et al. (1994) s Probl Cell Difler 20: 125-62; Bittner et al. (1987) Methods in l, 153:516-544).
Exemplary plasmid vectors for transformation of E. coli cells include, for example, the pQE sion vectors (available from Qiagen, Valencia, CA; see also ture published by Qiagen describing the system). pQE vectors have a phage T5 er (recognized by E. coli RNA polymerase) and a double lac operator repression module to provide tightly regulated, high-level expression of recombinant proteins in E. coli, a synthetic ribosomal binding site (RBS 11) for efficient translation, a 6xHis tag coding sequence, to and T1 transcriptional terminators, ColEl origin of replication, and a beta-lactamase gene for conferring ampicillin ance. The pQE vectors enable placement of a 6xHis tag at either the N— or C-terminus of the recombinant protein. Such plasmids include pQE 32, pQE 30, and pQE 31 which provide multiple cloning sites for all three reading frames and provide for the expression of N—terminally 6xHis-tagged proteins. Other exemplary plasmid vectors for transformation of E. coli cells, include, for example, the pET expression vectors (see, US. patent 496; available from Novagen, Madison, WI; see, also literature published by Novagen describing the system). Such plasmids include pET 11a, which ns the T7lac promoter, T7 terminator, the inducible E. coli lac or, and the lac repressor gene; pET 12a—c, which contains the T7 er, T7 terminator, and the E. coli ompT secretion signal; and pET 15b and pET19b (Novagen, Madison, WI), which contain a His-TagTM leader sequence for use in purification with a His column and a thrombin cleavage site that s cleavage following purification over the column, the T7-lac promoter region and the T7 terminator.
Typically, vectors can be plasmids, Viral vectors, or others known in the art, used for expression of the modified PH2O polypeptide in vivo or in vitro. For example, the modified PH2O polypeptide is expressed in mammalian cells, including, for example, Chinese r Ovary (CHO) cells. An exemplary vector for mammalian cell expression is the HZ24 expression . The HZ24 expression vector was derived from the pCl vector backbone (Promega). It contains DNA encoding the Beta-lactamase resistance gene (AmpR), an F1 origin of replication, a Cytomegalovirus immediate-early enhancer/promoter region (CMV), and an SV4O late polyadenylation signal (SV40). The expression vector also has an internal WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 -l66- ribosome entry site (IRES) from the ECMV virus (Clontech) and the mouse dihydrofolate ase (DHFR) gene.
Viral vectors, such as adenovirus, retrovirus or vaccinia virus vectors, can be employed. In some examples, the vector is a ive or attenuated retroviral or other viral vector (see U. S. Patent No. 4,980,286). For example, a retroviral vector can be used (see Miller et al., Meth. Enzymol. 217: 581-599 (1993)). These retroviral vectors have been modified to delete retroviral sequences that are not ary for packaging of the viral genome and integration into host cell DNA.
In some examples, viruses armed with a nucleic acid encoding a modified PH20 polypeptide can facilitate their replication and spread within a target tissue for example. The target tissue can be a cancerous tissue whereby the virus is capable of selective replication within the tumor. The virus can also be a non-lytic virus wherein the virus selectively replicates under a tissue specific promoter. As the viruses replicate, the coexpression of the PH20 polypeptide with viral genes will facilitate the spread of the virus in vivo. 4. Expression Modified PH20 ptides can be produced by any method known to those of skill in the art ing in vivo and in vitro methods. Desired proteins can be expressed in any organism suitable to produce the required amounts and forms of the proteins, such as for example, those needed for administration and treatment. Expression hosts include prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms such as E. coli, yeast, plants, insect cells, mammalian cells, including human cell lines and transgenic animals. Expression hosts can differ in their protein production levels as well as the types of post-translational modifications that are present on the expressed ns. The choice of expression host can be made based on these and other factors, such as regulatory and safety considerations, tion costs and the need and methods for purification.
Many expression vectors are available and known to those of skill in the art and can be used for expression of ns. The choice of expression vector will be ced by the choice of host expression system. In general, expression vectors can include transcriptional promoters and optionally enhancers, translational s, and transcriptional and ational termination signals. Expression vectors that are used for stable transformation typically have a selectable marker which allows selection and maintenance of the transformed cells. In some cases, an origin of replication can be used to amplify the copy number of the vector.
Modified PH20 polypeptides also can be utilized or expressed as protein fusions. For example, an enzyme fusion can be generated to add additional functionality to an enzyme. es of enzyme fusion proteins include, but are not limited to, fusions of a signal WO 02144 PCT/US2012/072182 sequence, a tag such as for zation, e.g., a 6xHis or His6 tag or a myc tag, or a tag for purification, for example, a GST fusion, and a sequence for ing protein secretion and/or membrane association.
For erm, ield production of recombinant proteins, stable expression is desired. For example, cell lines that stably express a modified PH20 polypeptide can be transformed using expression vectors that contain Viral s of replication or endogenous sion elements and a selectable marker gene. Following the introduction of the vector, cells can be allowed to grow for 1-2 days in an enriched medium before they are switched to selective media. The purpose of the selectable marker is to confer resistance to selection, and its presence allows grth and recovery of cells that successfully express the introduced sequences. Resistant cells of stably transformed cells can be proliferated using tissue culture techniques appropriate to the cell types.
Any number of selection systems can be used to recover transformed cell lines.
These include, but are not limited to, the herpes simplex Virus thymidine kinase (Wigler, M et al. (1977) Cell, -32) and adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (Lowy, 1 et al. (1980) Cell, 22:817-23) genes, which can be employed in TK- or APRT- cells, respectively. Also, antimetabolite, antibiotic or herbicide resistance can be used as the basis for selection. For e, DHFR, which confers resistance to methotrexate (Wigler, M et al. (1980) Proc.
Natl. Acad. Sci, 77:3567-70); npt, which confers resistance to the aminoglycosides neomycin and G-418 re-Garapin, F et al. (1981) J. Mol. Biol., 150:1-14); and als or pat, which confer resistance to chlorsulfuron and phosphinotricin acetyltransferase, tively, can be used. Additional selectable genes have been described, for example, trpB, which allows cells to utilize indole in place of typtophan or hisD, which allows cells to utilize histinol in place of histidine (Hartman SC and RC Mulligan (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci, 85:8047-51). Visible s, such as but not limited to, anthocyanins, beta glucuronidase and its substrate, GUS, and luciferase and its substrate luciferin, also can be used to identify transformants and also to fy the amount of transient or stable protein expression attributable to a particular vector system (Rhodes CA et al. (1995) Methods Mol. Biol. 55:121-131).
The presence and expression of PH20 polypeptides can be monitored. For example, detection of a functional polypeptide can be ined by testing the conditioned media for hyaluronidase enzyme activity under appropriate conditions. Exemplary assays to assess the solubility and activity of expressed proteins are provided herein. a. Prokaryotic Cells Prokaryotes, especially E. coli, provide a system for producing large s of proteins. Transformation of E. coli is a simple and rapid technique well known to those of WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 -l68- skill in the art. Expression s for E. coli can contain inducible promoters. Such promoters are useful for inducing high levels of protein expression and for expressing proteins that exhibit some toxicity to the host cells. Examples of inducible promoters include the lac promoter, the trp promoter, the hybrid tac er, the T7 and SP6 RNA promoters and the temperature regulated QtPL promoter.
Proteins, such as any provided herein, can be expressed in the cytoplasmic environment of E. coli. The cytoplasm is a reducing environment, and for some molecules, this can result in the formation of insoluble inclusion bodies. Reducing agents such as dithiothreotol and aptoethanol and denaturants, such as ine-HCl and urea can be used to resolubilize the proteins. An alternative approach effects protein expression in the periplasmic space of bacteria which es an oxidizing environment and chaperonin-like and disulfide isomerases, which can aid in the production of soluble protein. Typically, a leader sequence is fused to the protein to be expressed which directs the protein to the asm. The leader is then removed by signal ases inside the periplasm. Examples of periplasmic-targeting leader sequences include the pelB leader from the pectate lyase gene and the leader derived from the alkaline atase gene. In some cases, periplasmic expression allows leakage of the expressed protein into the culture medium. The secretion of proteins allows quick and simple purification from the culture supernatant. Proteins that are not secreted can be obtained from the periplasm by c lysis. Similar to cytoplasmic expression, in some cases proteins can become insoluble and rants and reducing agents can be used to facilitate solubilization and refolding. ature of induction and grth also can influence expression levels and solubility, typically temperatures between 25 oC and 37 0C are used. Typically, bacteria produce aglycosylated ns. Thus, if proteins require glycosylation for function, glycosylation can be added in vitro after purification from host cells. b. Yeast Cells Yeasts such as Saccharomyces cerevisae, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Yarrowia lipolytica, Kluyveromyces lactis and Pichia pastoris are well known yeast expression hosts that can be used for tion of proteins, such as any described herein. Yeast can be ormed with al replicating vectors or by stable chromosomal integration by homologous recombination. Typically, inducible promoters are used to regulate gene expression. Examples of such promoters include GAL], GAL7 and GALS and metallothionein promoters, such as CUPl, AOXl or other Pichia or other yeast promoters.
Expression vectors often include a selectable marker such as LEU2, TRPl, HIS3 and URA3 for selection and maintenance of the transformed DNA. Proteins expressed in yeast are often WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 -l69- soluble. Co-expression With chaperonins such as Bip and protein disulfide isomerase can improve expression levels and solubility. Additionally, ns expressed in yeast can be directed for secretion using ion signal peptide s such as the yeast mating type alpha-factor secretion signal from romyces cerevisae and fusions With yeast cell surface proteins such as the Aga2p mating adhesion or or the Arxula adeninivorans glucoamylase. A se cleavage site such as for the Kex-2 protease, can be ered to remove the fused sequences from the expressed polypeptides as they exit the secretion pathway. Yeast also is capable of glycosylation at Asn-X-Ser/Thr motifs. c. Insects and Insect Cells Insect cells, particularly using baculovirus expression, are useful for expressing polypeptides such as PH20 polypeptides. Insect cells express high levels of protein and are capable of most of the post-translational modifications used by higher eukaryotes.
Baculoviruses have a restrictive host range Which improves the safety and reduces regulatory concerns of eukaryotic sion. Typical expression vectors use a promoter for high level expression such as the polyhedrin promoter of baculovirus. Commonly used baculovirus systems include a baculovirus, such as the Autographa califomica nuclear polyhedrosis Virus (AcNPV)or the bombyx mori nuclear polyhedrosis Virus (BmNPV), and an insect cell line, such as Sf9 derived from Spodoptera frugiperda, Pseudaletia unipuncta (A78) and Danaus plexippus (Dle). For high-level expression, the nucleotide sequence of the molecule to be expressed is fused immediately downstream of the polyhedrin initiation codon of the Virus.
Mammalian secretion signals are accurately processed in insect cells and can be used to secrete the expressed protein into the culture medium. In addition, the cell lines Pseudaletia unipuncta (A78) and Danaus plexippus (Dle) e proteins With glycosylation patterns r to mammalian cell systems. Exemplary insect cells are those that have been altered to reduce immunogenicity, ing those With lianized" baculovirus expression vectors and those lacking the enzyme FT3.
An alternative expression system in insect cells employs stably transformed cells.
Cell lines such as the der 2 ($2) and Kc cells (Drosophila melanogaster) and C7 cells (Aedes albopictus) can be used for expression. The Drosophila othionein er can be used to induce high levels of expression in the presence of heavy metal induction With cadmium or copper. Expression vectors are typically maintained by the use of selectable markers such as neomycin and hygromycin. d. Mammalian expression Mammalian expression systems can be used to express proteins including PH20 polypeptides. Expression constructs can be erred to mammalian cells by viral infection WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 -l70- such as by adenovirus or by direct DNA er such as liposomes, calcium phosphate, DEAE-dextran and by physical means such as electroporation and microinj ection.
Expression vectors for mammalian cells typically include an mRNA cap site, a TATA box, a ational initiation sequence (Kozak consensus sequence) and enylation elements.
IRES ts also can be added to permit bicistronic expression With another gene, such as a selectable marker. Such vectors often include transcriptional promoter-enhancers for high- level sion, for example the SV40 promoter-enhancer, the human cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter and the long terminal repeat of Rous sarcoma virus (RSV). These promoter-enhancers are active in many cell types. Tissue and cell-type promoters and enhancer regions also can be used for expression. Exemplary promoter/enhancer regions include, but are not limited to, those from genes such as elastase I, insulin, immunoglobulin, mouse mammary tumor virus, albumin, alpha fetoprotein, alpha 1 antitrypsin, beta globin, myelin basic protein, myosin light chain 2, and gonadotropic releasing hormone gene control.
Selectable markers can be used to select for and maintain cells With the expression construct.
Examples of able marker genes include, but are not d to, hygromycin B phosphotransferase, adenosine deaminase, xanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) and thymidine kinase.
For example, sion can be performed in the presence of methotrexate to select for only those cells expressing the DHFR gene. Fusion With cell surface signaling les such as TCR-Z; and chRl-y can direct expression of the proteins in an active state on the cell surface.
Many cell lines are available for mammalian expression including mouse, rat human, monkey, chicken and r cells. Exemplary cell lines include but are not limited to CH0, Balb/3T3, HeLa, MT2, mouse NSO (nonsecreting) and other myeloma cell lines, hybridoma and heterohybridoma cell lines, cytes, fibroblasts, Sp2/O, COS, NIH3T3, HEK293, 293 S, 2B8, and HKB cells. Cell lines also are available adapted to serum-free media Which facilitates purification of secreted proteins from the cell culture media. Examples include CHO-S cells (lnvitrogen, ad, CA, cat # 11619-012) and the serum free EBNA-l cell line (Pham et al., (2003) Biotechnol. Bioeng. 84:332-42.) Cell lines also are available that are adapted to grow in special mediums zed for maximal expression. For example, DG44 CHO cells are adapted to grow in suspension culture in a ally defined, animal product-free medium. 6. Plants Transgenic plant cells and plants can be used to express proteins such as any described . Expression constructs are typically transferred to plants using direct DNA transfer such as microproj ectile bombardment and diated transfer into protoplasts, WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 -l7l- and with cterium—mediated ormation. Expression vectors can include promoter and enhancer sequences, riptional termination elements and translational control elements. Expression vectors and transformation techniques are usually divided between dicot hosts, such as Arabidopsis and tobacco, and t hosts, such as corn and rice.
Examples of plant promoters used for expression include the cauliflower mosaic virus promoter, the nopaline syntase promoter, the ribose bisphosphate carboxylase promoter and the ubiquitin and UBQ3 promoters. Selectable markers such as hygromycin, phosphomannose isomerase and neomycin phosphotransferase are often used to facilitate selection and maintenance of transformed cells. Transformed plant cells can be maintained in culture as cells, aggregates (callus tissue) or regenerated into whole plants. Transgenic plant cells also can include algae engineered to produce hyaluronidase ptides. Because plants have different glycosylation patterns than ian cells, this can influence the choice of protein produced in these hosts.
. Purification Host cells transformed with a nucleic acid sequence encoding a modified PH20 polypeptide can be cultured under conditions suitable for the expression and recovery of the encoded protein from cell culture. The protein produced by a recombinant cell is generally secreted, but may be ned intracellularly depending on the sequence and/or the vector used. As will be understood by those of skill in the art, expression s ning nucleic acid encoding PH20 can be ed with signal sequences that facilitate direct secretion of PH20 through prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell membranes.
Thus, methods for purification of polypeptides from host cells will depend on the chosen host cells and expression systems. For secreted molecules, proteins are generally purified from the culture media after removing the cells. For intracellular expression, cells can be lysed and the proteins purified from the extract. When transgenic organisms such as transgenic plants and animals are used for expression, tissues or organs can be used as starting material to make a lysed cell t. onally, transgenic animal production can e the production of polypeptides in milk or eggs, which can be collected, and if necessary, the proteins can be extracted and further purified using standard methods in the art.
Proteins, such as modified PH20 polypeptides, can be d using standard protein purification techniques known in the art including but not limited to, SDS-PAGE, size fractionation and size exclusion tography, ammonium sulfate precipitation and ionic exchange chromatography, such as anion ge tography. Affinity purification techniques also can be utilized to improve the efficiency and purity of the ations. For example, antibodies, receptors and other molecules that bind PH20 hyaluronidase enzymes WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 -l72- can be used in affinity purification. For example, soluble PH20 can be purified from conditioned media.
Expression constructs also can be engineered to add an affinity tag to a protein such as a myc epitope, GST fusion or His6 and affinity purified with myc antibody, glutathione resin or Ni-resin, respectively. Such tags can be joined to the nucleotide sequence encoding a soluble PH20 as described elsewhere herein, which can facilitate purification of soluble proteins. For example, a modified PH20 polypeptide can be expressed as a recombinant protein with one or more additional polypeptide domains added to facilitate protein purification. Such ation tating domains include, but are not limited to, metal chelating peptides such as histidine-tryptophan modules that allow purification on immobilized metals, n A domains that allow purification on immobilized immunoglobulin and the domain utilized in the FLAGS extension/affinity ation system (Immunex Corp., Seattle . The inclusion of a cleavable linker sequence such as Factor XA or enterokinase (Invitrogen, San Diego, CA) n the ation domain and the expressed PH20 polypeptide is useful to facilitate purification. One such expression vector provides for expression of a fusion n containing a PH20 polypeptide in and an enterokinase cleavage site. The histidine residues facilitate ation on IMIAC (immobilized metal ion affinity tography), while the enterokinase cleavage site provides a means for purifying the polypeptide from the fusion protein.
Purity can be assessed by any method known in the art including gel electrophoresis, orthogonal HPLC methods, staining and spectrophotometric techniques. The expressed and purified protein can be analyzed using any assay or method known to one of skill in the art, for e, any described in Section G. These include assays based on the physical and/or functional properties of the protein, including, but not limited to, analysis by gel electrophoresis, immunoassay and assays of hyaluronidase activity.
Depending on the sion system and host cells used, the resulting polypeptide can be heterogeneous due to ases present in the culture medium upon production and purification. For example, culture of soluble PH20 in CHO cells can result in a mixture of heterogeneous polypeptides. 6. Modification of Polypeptides by PEGylation Polyethylene glycol (PEG) has been widely used in biomaterials, biotechnology and medicine primarily e PEG is a biocompatible, nontoxic, water-soluble r that is typically nonimmunogenic (Zhao and Harris, ACS Symposium Series 680: 45 8-72, 1997). In the area of drug delivery, PEG derivatives have been widely used in covalent attachment (i.e., "PEGylation") to proteins to reduce immunogenicity, proteolysis and kidney clearance and to WO 02144 PCT/US2012/072182 -l73- enhance lity (Zalipsky, Adv. Drug Del. Rev. 16:157-82, 1995). Similarly, PEG has been attached to low molecular weight, relatively hydrophobic drugs to enhance solubility, reduce toxicity and alter biodistribution. Typically, ted drugs are injected as solutions.
A closely related application is synthesis of crosslinked degradable PEG networks or formulations for use in drug delivery since much of the same chemistry used in design of degradable, soluble drug carriers can also be used in design of degradable gels (Sawhney et al., Macromolecules 26: 5 81-87, 1993). It also is known that intermacromolecular complexes can be formed by mixing solutions oftwo complementary polymers. Such complexes are generally stabilized by ostatic interactions (polyanion-polycation) and/or hydrogen bonds (polyacid-polybase) between the polymers involved, and/or by hydrophobic interactions between the polymers in an aqueous nding (Krupers et al., Eur. Polym J. 32:785-790, 1996). For example, mixing ons of polyacrylic acid (PAAc) and hylene oxide (PEO) under the proper conditions s in the formation of complexes based mostly on hydrogen bonding. Dissociation of these complexes at logic conditions has been used for delivery of free drugs (i.e., non-PEGylated). In addition, complexes of complementary polymers have been formed from both lymers and copolymers.
Numerous reagents for PEGylation have been described in the art. Such reagents include, but are not limited to, on of the polypeptide with N—hydroxysuccinimidyl (NHS) ted PEG, succinimidyl mPEG, mPEG2-N-hydroxysuccinimide, mPEG succinimidyl alpha-methylbutanoate, mPEG succinimidyl propionate, mPEG succinimidyl butanoate, mPEG carboxymethyl 3-hydroxybutanoic acid succinimidyl ester, homobifunctional PEG-succinimidyl propionate, homobifunctional PEG propionaldehyde, homobifunctional PEG butyraldehyde, PEG maleimide, PEG hydrazide, ophenyl- carbonate PEG, mPEG-benzotriazole carbonate, propionaldehyde PEG, mPEG butryaldehyde, branched mPEGz butyraldehyde, mPEG acetyl, mPEG piperidone, mPEG methylketone, mPEG "linkerless" maleimide, mPEG Vinyl sulfone, mPEG thiol, mPEG orthopyridylthioester, mPEG orthopyridyl disulfide, Fmoc-PEG-NHS, Boc-PEG-NHS, Vinylsulfone PEG-NHS, acrylate PEG-NHS, fluorescein PEG-NHS, and biotin PEG-NHS (see e.g., Monfardini et al., Bioconjugate Chem. 6:62-69, 1995; Veronese et al., J.

In one example, the polyethylene glycol has a molecular weight ranging from about 3 kD to about 50 kD, and typically from about 5 kD to about 30 kD. nt attachment of the PEG to the drug (known as "PEGylation") can be accomplished by known chemical synthesis techniques. For example, the PEGylation of protein can be accomplished by reacting tivated PEG with the protein under suitable reaction conditions.
While numerous reactions have been described for PEGylation, those that are most generally able confer directionality, utilize mild reaction conditions, and do not necessitate extensive downstream processing to remove toxic sts or ducts. For instance, monomethoxy PEG (mPEG) has only one ve terminal hydroxyl, and thus its use limits some of the heterogeneity of the resulting PEG-protein product mixture. Activation of the hydroxyl group at the end of the polymer opposite to the terminal methoxy group is generally necessary to accomplish efficient protein PEGylation, with the aim being to make the derivatised PEG more susceptible to nucleophilic attack. The attacking nucleophile is usually the n-amino group of a lysyl residue, but other amines also can react (e.g., the N—terminal alpha-amine or the ring amines of histidine) if local conditions are favorable. A more directed attachment is possible in proteins containing a single lysine or cysteine. The latter residue can be ed by PEG-maleimide for thiol-specific modification.
Alternatively, PEG hydrazide can be d with a periodate oxidized hyaluronan-degrading enzyme and reduced in the presence ofNaCNBHg. More specifically, PEGylated CMP sugars can be reacted with a hyaluronan-degrading enzyme in the presence of appropriate glycosyl-transferases. One technique is the "PEGylation" technique where a number of polymeric molecules are coupled to the polypeptide in question. When using this technique, the immune system has difficulties in recognizing the epitopes on the polypeptide's surface responsible for the ion of antibodies, thereby reducing the immune response. For polypeptides introduced directly into the circulatory system of the human body to give a ular physiological effect (i.e., pharmaceuticals) the typical potential immune se is an IgG and/or IgM response, while polypeptides which are inhaled through the respiratory system (i.e., rial polypeptide) potentially can cause an IgE response (i.e., allergic WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 -l75- response). One of the theories explaining the reduced immune response is that the polymeric molecule(s) (s) epitope(s) on the surface of the polypeptide responsible for the immune response leading to antibody formation. Another theory or at least a partial factor is that the heavier the conjugate is, the more reduced the resulting immune response is.
Typically, to make the PEGylated PH20 ptide provided herein, PEG moieties are conjugated, via covalent attachment, to the ptides. Techniques for PEGylation e, but are not limited to, specialized linkers and coupling chemistries (see e.g., Roberts, Adv. Drug Deliv. Rev. 54:459-476, 2002), attachment of multiple PEG moieties to a single conjugation site (such as via use of branched PEGs; see e. g., Guiotto et al., Bioorg. Med.
Chem. Lett. 12:177-180, 2002), site-specific PEGylation and/or mono-PEGylation (see e.g., Chapman et al., Nature Biotech. 17:780-783, 1999), and site-directed enzymatic PEGylation (see e.g., Sato, Adv. Drug Deliv. Rev., 54:487-504, 2002). Methods and techniques described in the art can produce ns having 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 or more than 10 PEG or PEG derivatives attached to a single protein molecule (see e.g., U.S. 2006/0104968).
As an exemplary illustrative method for making a PEGylated PH20 polypeptide, PEG aldehydes, succinimides and carbonates have each been applied to conjugate PEG moieties, typically succinimidyl PEGs, to 0. For example, rHuPH20 has been conjugated with exemplary succinimidyl monoPEG (mPEG) ts including mPEG-Succinimidyl Propionates (mPEG-SPA), mPEG-Succinimidyl Butanoates (mPEG-SBA), and (for attaching "branched" PEGs) mPEG2-N-Hydroxylsuccinimide. These PEGylated succinimidyl esters contain different length carbon backbones n the PEG group and the activated cross- linker, and either a single or branched PEG group. These differences can be used, for example, to provide for different reaction cs and to potentially restrict sites available for PEG attachment to rHuPH20 during the conjugation process.
Succinimidyl PEGs (as above) containing either linear or branched PEGs can be conjugated to PH20. PEGs can used to generate PH20s reproducibly containing molecules having, on the average, between about three to six or three to six PEG les per hyaluronidase. Such PEGylated rHuPH20 compositions can be readily purified to yield compositions having specific activities of imately 25,000 or 30,000 Unit/mg protein hyaluronidase activity, and being substantially free of non-PEGylated PH20 (less than 5% non-PEGylated).
Using various PEG reagents, exemplary ns of a PEGylated PH20 polypeptide can be prepared, for e, using BA (30 kD), mPEG-SMB (30 kD), and branched ns based on NHS (40 kD) and mPEG2-NHS (60 kD). PEGylated ns of PH20 can be generated using NHS chemistries, as well as carbonates, and aldehydes, using WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 -l76- each of the ing reagents: mPEG2-NHS-40K branched, mPEG-NHS-lOK branched, HS-20K branched, mPEG2-NHS-60K branched; mPEG-SBA-SK, mPEG-SBA-20K, mPEG-SBA-30K; mPEG-SMB-20K, mPEG-SMB-30K; mPEG-butyrldehyde; mPEG-SPA- 20K, mPEG-SPA-30K; and PEG-NHS-5K-biotin. PEGylated PH20 also can be prepared using PEG reagents available from Dowpharma, a diVision of Dow Chemical Corporation; including PH20 polypeptides PEGylated with Dowpharma's p-nitrophenyl-carbonate PEG (30 kDa) and with propionaldehyde PEG (30 kDa).
In one example, the tion includes conjugation of mPEG-SBA, for example, mPEG-SBA-30K (haVing a molecular weight of about 30 kDa) or r succinimidyl ester of a PEG ic acid derivative, to a PH20 polypeptide. Succinimidyl esters of PEG butanoic acid derivatives, such as mPEG-SBA-30K readily couple to amino groups of proteins. For example, covalent conjugation of m-PEG-SBA-30K and rHuPH20 (which is approximately 60 KDa in size) provides stable amide bonds between rHuPH20 and mPEG, as shown in Scheme 1, below.
Scheme 1 0 H3CO+CH2CH203-CH2CH2CH2CO—N|| + HzN—rHuPHZO n mPEG-SBA l 0 H300+CH20H20)’CH20H20H20—N—H H rHUPHZO I1 PEGylated rHuPH20 Typically, the mPEG-SBA-30K or other PEG is added to the PH20 polypeptide at a PEG:polypeptide molar ratio of 10:1 in a suitable , e.g., 130 mM NaCl /10 mM HEPES at pH 6.8 or 70 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7, followed by sterilization, e.g., e ion, and continued ation, for example, with stirring, overnight at 4 0C in a cold room. In one example, the conjugated PEG- PH20 is concentrated and buffer-exchanged.
Other methods of coupling imidyl esters ofPEG butanoic acid derivatives, such as mPEG-SBA-30K are known in the art (see e.g., U.S. 5,672,662; U.S. 6,737,505; and U.S. 2004/0235734). For example, a polypeptide, such as a PH20 polypeptide, can be coupled to an NHS activated PEG derivative by reaction in a borate buffer (0.1 M, pH 8.0) for one hour at 4 OC. The resulting PEGylated protein can be purified by ultrafiltration. Another WO 2013/102144 2012/072182 -l77- method reacts polypeptide with mPEG-SBA in deionized water to which triethylamine is added to raise the pH to 7.2-9. The resulting mixture is stirred at room ature for several hours to complete the PEGylation.
Methods for PEGylation of PH20 polypeptides, ing, for example, - derived hyaluronidases and bacterial hyaluronan-degrading s, are known to one of skill in the art. See, for e, European Patent No. EP 2, which describes the PEGylation of bovine testes hyaluorindase and chondroitin ABC lyase. Also, U.S.
Publication No. 2006014968 describes PEGylation of a human hyaluronidase derived from human PH20. For example, the PEGylated hyaluronan-degrading enzyme generally contains at least 3 PEG moieties per molecule. In some es, the PH20 ptide ns three to six PEG molecules. In other examples, the enzyme can have a PEG to protein molar ratio between 5:1 and 9:1, for example, 7:1.

In addition to a therapeutically effective amount of a modified PH20 polypeptide and/or other therapeutic agent, exemplary ceutical compositions provided herein, including separately formulated- and co-formulated-PH20 containing formulations, can n a concentration ofNaCl and are prepared at a requisite pH to maintain the stability of the active s) (e. g., PH20 hyaluronidase and/or other co-formulated therapeutic agent).
For multi-dose formulations and other formulations stored for a prolonged time, the compositions generally also n one or more preservatives. Further stabilizing agents and other excipients also can be included. Exemplary components are described below. i. Salt (e.g. NaCl) In examples herein, the pharmaceutical compositions provided herein n a concentration of salt, such as sodium chloride (NaCl), to maintain the stability of the active agent(s) (e.g., PH20 onidase). Salt, such as NaCl, is generally required to retain PH20 stability and activity. Low salt concentrations of generally less than 120 mM can have deleterious effects on PH20 activity over time and depending on ature conditions.
Hence, the absence of salt (6. g. NaCl) or a low concentration of salt (e. g. NaCl) can result in instability of the protein. In some examples herein, however, d PH20 polypeptides that t increased stability in the absence of low or no salt, such as low or no NaCl (see e.g., Section C.1.b.iii), are not susceptible to denaturation. Also, the presence of salt (6.g.
NaCl) can have differing effects on other therapeutic agents. For example, the solubility of insulin and insulin analogs tends to increase with lower salt concentration (e.g. <140 mM) , and high salt concentrations can result in crystallization/aggregation of insulin, especially at lower temperatures (see e.g., U.S. Provisional Appl. No. 61/520,962; U.S. Application Serial WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 Nos. 13/507,263 and 13/507,262; and International PCT Application No.
PCT/US2012/042816). Thus, pharmaceutical compositions provided herein are prepared in accordance with the ements of the active agent(s). It is within the level of one of skill in the art to assess the stability of the active agent(s) in the formulation and under various storage conditions (see e.g., Section G). In particular examples herein, the pharmaceutical compositions, including the tely formulated or mulated PH20-containing formulations provided herein, n NaCl at a concentration of between or about between mM to 200 mM, such as 10 mM to 50 mM, 50 mM to 200 mM, 50 mM to 120 mM, 50 mM to 100 mM, 50 mM to 90 mM, 120 mM to 160 mM, 130 mM to 150 mM, 80 mM to 140 mM, 80 mM to 120 mM, 80 mM to 100 mM, 80 mM to 160 mM, 100 mM to 140 mM, 120 mM to 120 mM or 140 mM to 180 mM. ii. pH and Buffer In examples herein, the pharmaceutical compositions provided herein are prepared at a pH to maintain the stability of the active agent(s) (e.g., PH20 hyaluronidase). For example, the pharmaceutical compositions provided herein are prepared at a pH of between or about between 6.5 to 7.8 such as between or about n 6.5 to 7.2, 7.0 to 7.8, 7.0 to 7.6 or 7.2 to 7.4. Reference to pH herein is based on ement of pH at room temperature. It is understood that the pH can change during storage over time, but typically will remain between or between about pH 6.5 to or to about 7.8. For example, the pH can vary by :: 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 or more. Exemplary co-formulations provided herein have a pH of or of about 7.0 :: 0.2, 7.1 :: 0.2, 7.2 :: 0.2, 7.3 :: 0.2, 7.4 :: 0.2, 7.5 :: 0.2 or 7.6 :: 0.2 when prepared. If necessary, pH can be adjusted using acidifying agents to lower the pH or alkalizing agents to increase the pH. Exemplary acidifying agents include, but are not limited to, acetic acid, citric acid, ic acid, hydrochloric acid, monobasic sodium phosphate solution, and phosphoric acid. Exemplary alkalizing agents include, but are not limited to, dibasic sodium phosphate solution, sodium ate, or sodium hydroxide.
The compositions are generally prepared using a buffering agent that maintains the pH range. Any buffer can be used in formulations ed herein so long as it does not adversely affect the ity of the active agent(s) (e. g., PH20 hyaluronidase), and supports the requisite pH range required. Examples of ularly suitable buffers include Tris, succinate, e, phosphate s, citrate, aconitate, malate and carbonate. Those of skill in the art, however, will recognize that formulations provided herein are not limited to a particular buffer, so long as the buffer provides an acceptable degree of pH stability, or "buffer capacity" in the range indicated. Generally, a buffer has an adequate buffer capacity WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 within about 1 pH unit of its pK an er a]. In: The Theory and Practice of Industrial Pharmacy 3rd Edn. (Lachman, L., Lieberman, HA. and Kanig, J.L., Eds.), Lea and Febiger, Philadelphia, p. 45 8-460, 1986). Buffer suitability can be estimated based on published pK tabulations or can be determined empirically by methods well known in the art. The pH of the solution can be adjusted to the desired endpoint within the range as described above, for example, using any acceptable acid or base.
Buffers that can be included in the co-formulations provided herein include, but are not limited to, Tris thamine), histidine, phosphate s, such as dibasic sodium phosphate, and citrate buffers. Such buffering agents can be t in the co-formulations at concentrations between or about between 1 mM to 100 mM, such as 10 mM to 50 mM or 20 mM to 40 mM, such as at or about 30 mM. For example, such buffering agents can be present in the co-formulations in a concentration of or about 1 mM, 2 mM, 3 mM, 4 mM, 5 mM,6mM,7mM, 8mM,9mM,lOmM,llmM,12mM,l3mM,l4mM,15mM,l6mM, 17 mM, 18 mM, 19 mM, 20 mM, 25 mM, 30 mM, 35 mM, 40 mM, 45 mM, 50 mM, 55 mM, 60 mM, 65 mM, 70 mM, 75 mM, or more. iii. Preservative(s) In examples herein, dose formulations or formulations stored for prolonged periods contain an anti-microbially effective amount of preservative or mixture of preservatives in an amount to have a bacteriostatic or fungistatic effect. In particular es, the preservatives are t in a sufficient concentration to provide the anti- microbial requirements of, for e, the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) and the European Pharmacopoeia (EP), including the EP anti-microbial requirements (EPA) and the preferred EP anti-microbial requirements (EPB) (see Table 4). Since the presence of preservatives, and in particular phenolic preservatives, can have deleterious effects on the stability of PH20, such formulations typically contain a modified PH20 polypeptide that exhibits increased stability in the presence of preservatives, such as any described in Section C. l .b.i herein. Generally, the amount maintains the stability of the active agent(s) (e.g., PH20 hyaluronidase).
An anti-microbial effective amount of preservative is an amount that exhibits anti- ial activity by killing or inhibiting the propagation of microbial organisms in a sample of the ition as ed in an antimicrobial preservative effectiveness test (APET).
One of skill in the art is familiar with the antimicrobial preservative effectiveness test and standards to be meet under the USP and EPA or EPB in order to meet minimum requirements.
In general, the crobial preservative effectiveness test involves challenging a composition with prescribed inoculums of suitable rganisms, i.e., bacteria, yeast and WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 fungi, storing the inoculated preparation at a prescribed temperature, withdrawing samples at specified intervals of time and counting the organisms in the sample (see, Sutton and Porter, (2002) PDA l ofPharmaceutical Science and Technology 56(4):300-311; The United States copeial Convention, Inc., (effective January 1, 2002), The United States Pharmacopeia 25"1 Revision, Rockville, MD, Chapter <51> Antimicrobial Effectiveness Testing; and European Pharmacopoeia, Chapter 5.1.3, Efficacy of Antimicrobial Preservation). The microorganisms used in the challenge generally include three strains of bacteria, namely E. coli (ATCC No. 8739), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC No. 9027) and Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC No. 6538), yeast (Candida albicans ATCC No. 10231) and fungus (Aspergillus niger ATCC No. 16404), all of which are added such that the inoculated composition ns 105 or 106 colony forming units (cfu) of microorganism per mL of composition. The vative properties of the composition are deemed adequate if, under the conditions of the test, there is a significant fall or no increase, as specified in Table 3 in the number of microorganisms in the inoculated ition after the times and at the atures prescribed. The criteria for evaluation are given in terms of the log ion in the number of viable microorganism as compared to the initial sample or the previous time point. miting es of preservatives that can be ed in the co-formulations provided herein include, but are not limited to, phenol, meta-cresol (m—cresol), methylparaben, benzyl alcohol, thimerosal, benzalkonium chloride, 4-chlorobutanol, chlorhexidine dihydrochloride, chlorhexidine onate, L-phenylalanine, EDTA, bronopol (2-bromonitropropane-1,3-diol), mercuric acetate, glycerol (glycerin), imidurea, exidine, sodium dehydroacetate, ortho-cresol (o-cresol), para-cresol (p-cresol), chlorocresol, cetrimide, benzethonium chloride, ethylparaben, propylparaben or butylparaben and any combination thereof For example, formulations provided herein can contain a single preservative.

For example, surfactants can inhibit aggregation of PH20 and minimize absorptive loss. The surfactants generally are nic surfactants. Surfactants that can be included in the formulations herein include, but are not d to, partial and fatty acid esters and ethers of polyhydric alcohols such as of glycerol, or sorbitol, poloxamers and polysorbates. For example, exemplary surfactants in the lations herein include any one or more of poloxamer 188 (PLURONICS® such as PLURONIC® F68), TETRONICS®, polysorbate 20, polysorbate 80, PEG 400, PEG 3000, Tween® (e.g., Tween® 20 or Tween® 80), Triton® X- 100, SPAN®, MYRJ®, BRIJ®, CREMOPHOR®, polypropylene glycols or polyethylene glycols.

The formulations provided herein generally contain at least one surfactant, such as 1, 2 or 3 tants.
In the formulations ed herein, the total amount of the one or more surfactants as a percentage (%) of mass concentration (w/V) in the formulation can be, for example, between from or between about from 0.005% to 1.0%, such as between from or between about from 0.01% to 0.5%, such as 0.01% to 0.1% or 0.01% to 0.02%. Generally, the formulations contain at least 0.01% surfactant and contain less than 1.0%, such as less than 0.5% or less than 0.1% surfactant. For example, the ations provided herein can contain at or about 0.001%, 0.005%, 0.01%, 0.015%, 0.02%, 0.025%, 0.03%, 0.035%, 0.04%, 0.045%, 0.05%, , 0.06%, , 0.07%, 0.08%, or 0.09% surfactant. In ular examples, the formulations provided herein contain or contain about 0.01% to or to about 0.05% surfactant.
Tonicity modifiers can be included in the formulation provided herein to produce a solution with the desired osmolality. The formulations ed herein have an osmolality of between or about between 245 mOsm/kg to 305 mOsm/kg. For example, the osmolality is or is about 245 mOsm/kg, 250 mOsm/kg, 255 mOsm/kg, 260 mOsm/kg, 265 mOsm/kg, 270 mOsm/kg, 275 mOsm/kg, 280 mOsm/kg, 285 mOsm/kg, 290 mOsm/kg, 295 mOsm/kg, 300 mOsm/kg or 305 mOsm/kg. In some examples, the formulations have an osmolality of or of about 275 mOsm/kg. Tonicity modif1ers e, but are not limited to, glycerin, NaCl, amino acids, cohols, trehalose, and other salts and/or sugars. The particular amount can be empirically ined in order to retain enzyme actiVity, and/or tonicity.
In other instances, glycerin (glycerol) is ed in the formulations. For example, formulations provided herein typically contain less than 60 mM glycerin, such as less than 55 mM, less than 50 mM, less than 45 mM, less than 40 mM, less than 35 mM, less than 30 mM, WO 2013/102144 2012/072182 less than 25 mM, less than 20 mM, less than 15 mM, 10 mM or less. The amount of glycerin typically depends on the amount ofNaCl present: the more NaCl present in the formulation, the less in is required to achieve the d osmolality or osmolarity. Thus, for example, in ations ning higher NaCl concentrations, little or no glycerin need be included in the formulation. In contrast, in formulations containing slightly lower NaCl concentrations, glycerin can be included. For example, formulations provided herein can contain glycerin at a concentration of 40 mM to 60 mM, such as less than 50 mM, such as 20 mM to 50 mM, for example at or about 50 mM.
The formulations provided herein also can contain antioxidants to reduce or prevent oxidation, in ular ion of the PH20 polypeptide. For example, oxidation can be effected by high concentrations of surfactant or hyaluronan oligomers. Exemplary antioxidants include, but are not limited to, cysteine, tryptophan and methionine. In particular examples, the anti-oxidant is methionine. The formulations provided herein can include an antioxidant at a concentration from between or from about between 5 mM to or to about 50 mM, such as 5 mM to 40 mM, 5 mM to 20 mM or 10 mM to 20 mM. For example, methionine can be provided in the formulations herein at a concentration from between or from about between 5 mM to or to about 50 mM, such as 5 mM to 40 mM, 5 mM to 20 mM or 10 mM to 20 mM. For e, an antioxidant, for example methionine, can be included at a tration that is or is about 5 mM, 10 mM, 11 mM, 12 mM, 13 mM, 14 mM, 15 mM, 16 mM, 17 mM, 18 mM, 19 mM, 20 mM, 21 mM, 22 mM, 23 mM, 24 mM, 25 mM, 26 mM, 27 mM, 28 mM, 29 mM, 30 mM, 35 mM, 40 mM, 45 mM or 50 mM. In some examples, the ations contain 10 mM to 20 mM methionine, such as or about 10 mM or 20 mM nine.
The formulations provided herein also can contain an amino acid stabilizer, which contributes to the stability of the preparation. The stabilizer can be a non-polar or basic amino acid. Exemplary non-polar and basic amino acids include, but are not limited to, alanine, histidine, arginine, lysine, ornithine, isoleucine, valine, methionine, glycine and proline. For example, the amino acid stabilizer is glycine or proline, typically glycine. The stabilizer can be a single amino acid or it can be a combination of 2 or more such amino acids. The amino acid stabilizers can be natural amino acids, amino acid analogues, modified amino acids or amino acid equivalents. Generally, the amino acid is an L-amino acid. For example, when proline is used as the stabilizer, it is generally L-proline. It is also possible to use amino acid equivalents, for e, proline analogues. The concentration of amino acid stabilizer, for example glycine, included in the formulation ranges from 0.1 M to 1 M amino acid, typically 0.1 M to 0.75 M, lly 0.2 M to 0.5 M, for example, at least at or about 0.1 M, 0.15 M, WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 -l90- 0.2 M, 0.25 M, 0.3 M, 0.35 M, 0.4 M, 0.45 M, 0.5 M, 0.6 M, 0.7 M, 0.75 M or more amino acid. The amino acid, for example glycine, can be used in a form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, such as hydrochloride, hydrobromide, sulfate, acetate, etc. The purity of the amino acid, for example glycine, should be at least 98%, at least 99%, or at least 99.5% or more.
In examples herein, if necessary, hyaluronidase inhibitors are included in a formulation to stabilize PH20, in particular to reduce the effects of otherwise destabilizing agents and conditions, such as, for example, low salt, high pH, the presence of preservatives and elevated temperatures, present in the formulation. Such a component generally is not ed for pharmaceutical compositions containing a modified PH20 ptide as provided herein that exhibits increased stability under such conditions. When provided, the hyaluronidase inhibitor is provided at least at its equilibrium concentration. One of skill in the art is familiar with various classes of hyaluronidase inhibitors (see e. g., Girish et al. (2009) Current Medicinal Chemistry, 16:2261-2288, and references cited therein). One of skill in the art knows or can determine by standard s in the art the equilibrium tration of a hyaluronidase inhibitor in a reaction or stable ition herein.
An exemplary onidase inhibitor for use in the compositions herein is hyaluronan (HA). Hyaluronic acid (HA, also known as hyaluronan and hyaluronate) is the natural substrate for PH20. HA is a non-sulfated glycosaminoglycan that is widely distributed throughout connective, epithelial, and neural tissues. It is a r of up to ,000 haride units, themselves composed of D-glucuronic acid and D-N- glucosamine. The molecular weight of HA ranges from about 5 kDa to 200,000 kDa.
Any size HA can be used in the compositions as a stabilizer. In some examples, the HA is a disaccharide, ed of D-glucuronic acid and D-N-acetylglucosamine. In other examples, the HA is an oligosaccharide, such as a tetrasaccharide, containing 2 repeating disaccharide units, or alternatively, the HA used in the co-formulations provided herein can contain multiple repeating disaccharide units, such as 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, ll, l2, l3, 14, 15, l6, l7, l8, 19, 20, 25, 30 or more disaccharide units. In another example, the HA used in the formulations ed herein has a molecular weight that is from or from about 5 kDa to or to about 5,000 kDa; from or from about 5 kDa to or to about 1,000 kDa; from or from about 5 kDa to or to about 500 kDa; or from or from about 5 kDa to or to about 200 kDa. ary HA oligosaccharides for use in the formulations herein have a molecular weight of or of about 6.4 kDa, 74.0 kDa. or 234.4 kDa. The formulations can contain 1 mg/mL to 20 mg/mL HA, 8 mg/mL to 12 mg/mL, such as at least or about 1 mg/mL, 2 mg/mL, 3 mg/mL, 4 mg/mL, 5 mg/mL, 6 mg/mL, 7 mg/mL, 8 mg/mL, 9 mg/mL, 10 mg/mL, 11 mg/mL, 12 mg/mL, l3 WO 02144 PCT/US2012/072182 -l9l- mg/mL, 14 mg/mL, 15 mg/mL, 16 mg/mL, 17 mg/mL, 18 mg/mL, 19 mg/mL or 20 mg/mL or more HA. In some examples, the molar ratio of HA to PH20 is or is about 100,000:1, 95,000:1, 90,000:1, 85,000:1, 80,000:1, 75,000:1, 70,000:1, 65,000:1, 60,000:1, 55,000:1, :1, 45,000:1, :1, 35,000:1, 30,000:1, 25,000:1, 20,000:1, :1, 10,000:1, 1,1,000:1, 900:1, 800:1, 700:1, 600:1, 500:1, 400:1, 300:1, 200:1, or 100:1 or less.
In some examples, a nicotinic compound is used as a stabilizing agent. Nicotinic compounds include, but are not limited to, nicotinamide, nicotinic acid, niacin, niacinamide, Vitamin B3 and/or salts f and/or any combination thereof. In particular applications, the stabilizing agent can include a nicotinic compound an amino acid or amino acids (see e.g., International ation No. W02010149772). For example, the amino acid can be arginine, glutamic acid and/or salts thereof or ations thereof. 2. itions for Other Routes of Administration Depending upon the condition treated other routes of administration, such as topical application, transdermal patches, oral and rectal administration are also contemplated herein.
For example, pharmaceutical dosage forms for rectal administration are rectal suppositories, capsules and tablets for systemic effect. Rectal suppositories include solid bodies for insertion into the rectum Which melt or soften at body temperature releasing one or more pharmacologically or therapeutically active ingredients. Pharmaceutically acceptable substances utilized in rectal suppositories are bases or vehicles and agents to raise the melting point. Examples of bases include cocoa butter (theobroma oil), in-gelatin, carbowax (polyoxyethylene glycol) and appropriate mixtures of mono-, di- and cerides of fatty acids. Combinations of the various bases may be used. Agents to raise the melting point of suppositories include spermaceti and wax. Rectal itories may be prepared either by the compressed method or by molding. The typical weight of a rectal suppository is about 2 to 3 gm. s and capsules for rectal administration are manufactured using the same pharmaceutically acceptable substance and by the same methods as for formulations for oral administration. Formulations suitable for rectal administration can be provided as unit dose suppositories. These can be prepared by admixing the active compound with one or more conventional solid carriers, for example, cocoa butter, and then shaping the resulting mixture.
For oral administration, pharmaceutical compositions can take the form of, for example, tablets or capsules ed by conventional means With pharmaceutically acceptable excipients such as binding agents (e.g., pregelatinized maize starch, polyvinyl pyrrolidone or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose); fillers (e. g., lactose, microcrystalline cellulose or m hydrogen phosphate); lubricants (e.g., magnesium stearate, talc or silica); WO 02144 2012/072182 -l92- disintegrants (e.g., potato starch or sodium starch glycolate); or wetting agents (e. g., sodium lauryl sulphate). The tablets can be coated by s well-known in the art. ations suitable for buccal (sublingual) administration include, for example, lozenges containing the active compound in a flavored base, usually sucrose and acacia or anth; and pastilles containing the compound in an inert base such as gelatin and in or sucrose and acacia.
Topical mixtures are prepared as described for the local and systemic administration.
The resulting mixtures can be solutions, sions, emulsion or the like and are formulated as creams, gels, ointments, emulsions, solutions, elixirs, lotions, suspensions, tinctures, pastes, foams, aerosols, irrigations, sprays, suppositories, es, dermal patches or any other formulations suitable for topical administration.
The compounds or pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives thereof may be formulated as aerosols for topical application, such as by inhalation (see, e.g., U. S. Patent Nos. 4,044,126, 4,414,209, and 4,364,923, Which describe aerosols for delivery ofa steroid useful for treatment of inflammatory diseases, particularly asthma). These formulations, for administration to the respiratory tract, can be in the form of an aerosol or on for a nebulizer, or as a microf1ne powder for insufflation, alone or in combination With an inert carrier such as lactose. In such a case, the particles of the formulation will typically have diameters of less than 50 microns, or less than 10 microns.
The compounds can be formulated for local or topical application, such as for topical ation to the skin and mucous membranes, such as in the eye, in the form of gels, creams, and lotions and for application to the eye or for intracisternal or intraspinal application. Topical stration is contemplated for transdermal ry and also for administration to the eyes or mucosa, or for inhalation therapies. Nasal solutions of the active compound alone or in combination With other pharmaceutically acceptable excipients also can be administered.

Such s n the active compound in an optionally buffered aqueous solution of, for example, 0.1 to 0.2 M tration With respect to the active compound. Formulations suitable for transdermal administration also can be delivered by iontophoresis (see, e. g., Tyle, P, Pharmaceutical Research 3(6):318-326 (1986)) and typically take the form of an optionally buffered s solution of the active compound.
WO 2013/102144 2012/072182 Pharmaceutical compositions also can be administered by controlled release formulations and/or delivery devices (see e.g., in US.

Dosages and Administration The modified PH20 ptides provided herein can be formulated as pharmaceutical compositions for single dosage or multiple dosage stration. The PH20 ptide is included in an amount sufficient to exert a therapeutically useful effect in the absence of undesirable side s on the patient treated. The therapeutically ive concentration can be determined empirically by testing the polypeptides in known in vitro and in vivo systems such as by using the assays provided herein or known in the art (see e. g., i et al. (1996) Anal. Biochem, 240: 60-67; Filocamo et al. (1997) J Virology, 71: 1417- 1427; Sudo et al. (1996) Antiviral Res. 32: 9-18; Bouffard et al. (1995) Virology, 209:52-59; Bianchi et al.

The amount of a modified PH20 to be administered for the ent of a disease or condition can be determined by standard al techniques. In addition, in vitro assays and animal models can be employed to help identify optimal dosage ranges. The precise dosage, which can be determined empirically, can depend on the particular , the route of administration, the type of disease to be treated and the seriousness of the disease.
Hence, it is understood that the precise dosage and duration of treatment is a function of the disease being treated and can be determined empirically using known testing protocols or by olation from in vivo or in vitro test data. It is to be noted that concentrations and dosage values also can vary with the severity of the condition to be alleviated. It is to be further understood that for any particular subject, specific dosage regimens should be adjusted over time according to the dual need and the professional judgment of the person administering or ising the administration of the compositions, and that the concentration ranges set forth herein are exemplary only and are not intended to limit the WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 —194— scope or use of compositions and combinations containing them. The compositions can be administered hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly or once. Generally, dosage regimens are chosen to limit toxicity. It should be noted that the attending physician would know how to and when to terminate, interrupt or adjust therapy to lower dosage due to toxicity, or bone marrow, liver or kidney or other tissue dysfunctions. Conversely, the ing physician would also know how to and when to adjust treatment to higher levels if the clinical response is not te (precluding toxic side s).

For example, a PH20 polypeptide, can be administered at a dose of at least or about at least or 10 U, 20 U, 30 U, 40 U, 50 U, 100 U, 150 U, 200 U, 250 U, 300 U, 350 U, 400 U, 450 U, 500 U, 600 U, 700 U, 800 U, 900 U, 1000 U, 2,000 U, 3,000 U, 4,000 Units, 5,000 U or more. The formulations can be provided in unit-dose forms such as, but not limited to, ampoules, syringes and individually packaged tablets or es.
The PH20 enzyme can be administered alone, or with other pharmacologically effective s) or therapeutic agent(s), in a total volume of 0.1 -100 mL, 1 -50 mL, 10- 50 mL, 10-30 mL, 1-20 mL, or 1-10 mL, typically 10-50 mL. Typically, volumes of injections or infusions of a PH20-containing ition are at least or at least about 0.01 mL, 0.05 mL, 0.2mL,0.3mL,0.4mL,0.5mL,1mL,2mL,3mL,4mL,5mL,6mL,7mL,8 mL, 9 mL, 10 mL, 20 mL, 30 mL, 40 mL, 50 mL or more. The formulations provided herein contain a modified PH20 polypeptide in an amount between or about n 30 Units/mL to 3000 U/mL, 300 U/mL to 2000 U/mL or 600 U/mL to 2000 U/mL or 600 U/mL to 1000 U/mL, such as at least or about at least 30 U/mL, 35 U/mL, 40 U/mL, 50 U/mL, 100 U/mL, 200 U/mL, 300 U/mL, 400 U/mL, 500 U/mL, 600 U/mL, 700 U/mL, 800 U/mL, 900 U/mL, 1000 U/mL, 2000 U/mL or 3000 U/mL. For example, the formulations provided herein contain a PH20 that is in an amount that is at least 100 U/mL to 1000 U/mL, for example at least or about at least or about or 600 U/mL.
The PH20 polypeptide can be provided as a solution in an amount that is at least or about or is 100 U/mL, 150 U/mL, 200 U/mL, 300 U/mL, 400 U/mL, 500 U/mL, 600 U/mL, 800 U/mL or 1000 U/mL, or can be provided in a more concentrated form, for example in an amount that is at least or about or is 2000 U/mL, 3000 Units/mL, 4000 U/mL, 5000 U/mL, 8000 U/mL, 10,000 U/mL or 20,000 U/mL for use ly or for dilution to the effective WO 2013/102144 2012/072182 -l95- concentration prior to use. The PH20 polypeptide compositions can be provided as a liquid or lyophilized formulation.
When the PH20 is co-formulated with a therapeutic agent, dosages can be provided as a ratio of the amount of a PH20 polypeptide to the amount of therapeutic agent stered.
For example, a PH20 polypeptide can be administered at 1 hyaluronidase U/therapeutic agent U (1:1) to 50:1 or more, for example, at or about 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1, 6:1, 7:1, 8:1, 9:1,10:1, 11:1, 12:1, 13:1,14:1, 15:1, 20:1, 25:1, 30:1, 35:1, 40:1, 45:1, 50:1 or more.
The formulations provided herein, including mulations and/or stable formulations, can be prepared for single dose administration, multiple dose administration or continuous infusion administrations. Implantation of a slow-release or sustained-release system, such that a constant level of dosage is maintained (see e.g., U. S. Patent No. 3,710,795), is also contemplated herein.
For example, formulations of pharmaceutically therapeutically active nds and derivatives thereof are provided for administration to humans and s in unit dosage forms or multiple dosage forms. For example, nds can be formulated as tablets, capsules, pills, powders, es, sterile eral solutions or suspensions, oral solutions or suspensions, or oil—water emulsions containing le quantities of the compounds or pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives f. Each unit dose contains a predetermined quantity of therapeutically active compound(s) sufficient to produce the desired eutic effect, in association with the required pharmaceutical carrier, vehicle or diluent. Examples of unit dose forms include ampoules and syringes and individually ed tablets or capsules. Unit dose forms can be administered in fractions or multiples thereof. A multiple dose form is a plurality of identical unit dosage forms packaged in a single container to be administered in segregated unit dose forms. Examples of le dose forms include vials, bottles of tablets or es or bottles of pints or gallons. Hence, multiple dose form is a multiple of unit doses that are not segregated in packaging. Generally, dosage forms or compositions containing active ingredient in the range of 0.005% to 100% with the balance made up from non-toxic carrier can be prepared.
Compositions provided herein typically are ated for administration by subcutaneous route, although other routes of administration are contemplated, such as any route known to those of skill in the art including intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intravenous, intradermal, intralesional, eritoneal injection, epidural, vaginal, rectal, local, otic, transdermal administration or any route of administration. Formulations suited for such routes are known to one of skill in the art. Administration can be local, topical or systemic depending upon the locus of treatment. Local administration to an area in need of treatment WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 can be achieved by, for example, but not limited to, local infusion during surgery, l application, 6. g. , in conjunction with a wound dressing after surgery, by injection, by means of a er, by means of a suppository, or by means of an implant. Compositions also can be administered with other biologically active agents, either sequentially, intermittently or in the same composition.
The most suitable route in any given case depends on a variety of factors, such as the nature of the disease, the tolerance of the subject to a particular administration route, the severity of the disease, and the ular composition that is used. Typically, the compositions provided herein are administered parenterally. In some examples, modified PH20 polypeptide compositions are stered so that they reach the interstitiurn of skin or tissues, thereby degrading the interstitial space for subsequent delivery of a therapeutic agent.
Thus, in some examples, direct administration under the skin, such as by subcutaneous administration methods, is contemplated. Thus, in one e, local administration can be ed by injection, such as from a syringe or other article of manufacture containing an injection deVice such as a needle. In another example, local administration can be achieved by infusion, which can be tated by the use of a pump or other similar deVice. Other modes of administration also are contemplated. For example, modified PH20 polypeptides, included conjugated forms with increased half-life such as PEGylated forms thereof, can be administered intravenously. Pharmaceutical compositions can be formulated in dosage forms appropriate for each route of stration.
Administration methods can be employed to decrease the exposure of selected modified PH20 polypeptides to degradative processes, such as proteolytic degradation and immunological intervention Via antigenic and immunogenic responses. Examples of such methods include local administration at the site of treatment. PEGylation of eutics increases resistance to proteolysis, increases plasma half-life, and decreases nicity and immunogenicity. Examples of PEGylation methodologies are known in the art (see for example, Lu and Felix, Int. J. Peptide n Res., 43: 127-138, 1994; Lu and Felix, Peptide Res., 6: 140-6, 1993; Felix et al., Int. J. Peptide Res., 46 : 253-64, 1995; Benhar et al., J. Biol.
Chem., 269: 13398-404, 1994; Brumeanu et al., J1mmunol., 154: 3088-95, 1995; see also, Caliceti et al. (2003) Adv. Drug DeliV. Rev. 55(10):1261-77 and Molineux (2003) Pharmacotherapy 23 (8 Pt 2):3S-8S). PEGylation also can be used in the ry of nucleic acid les in Vivo. For e, PEGylation of adenovirus can increase stability and gene transfer (see, e.g., Cheng et al. (2003) Pharm. Res. 20(9): 1).
Various other delivery systems are known and can be used to administer selected PH20 polypeptides, such as but not limited to, encapsulation in liposomes, microparticles, WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 -l97- microcapsules, recombinant cells capable of expressing the compound, receptor mediated endocytosis, and ry of c acid molecules encoding selected PH20 ptides such as retrovirus delivery systems.
Hence, in certain embodiments, liposomes and/or nanoparticles also can be employed with administration of soluble PH20 polypeptides. Liposomes are formed from phospholipids that are dispersed in an aqueous medium and spontaneously form multilamellar concentric bilayer vesicles (also termed multilamellar vesicles (MLVs)). MLVs generally have diameters of from 25 nm to 4 pm. Sonication ofMLVs results in the formation of small unilamellar vesicles (SUVs) with diameters in the range of 200 to 500 angstroms containing an aqueous solution in the core.
Phospholipids can form a variety of structures other than mes when sed in water, ing on the molar ratio of lipid to water. At low ratios of lipid to water, liposomes form. Physical characteristics of liposomes depend on the pH, ionic strength and the ce of divalent cations. Liposomes can show low permeability to ionic and polar substances, but at elevated atures o a phase transition which markedly alters their permeability. The phase transition involves a change from a closely packed, ordered structure, known as the gel state, to a loosely packed, less-ordered ure, known as the fluid state. This occurs at a characteristic phase-transition temperature and results in an increase in permeability to ions, sugars and drugs.
Liposomes interact with cells via different mechanisms: endocytosis by phagocytic cells of the loendothelial system such as macrophages and neutrophils; adsorption to the cell surface, either by nonspecif1c weak hydrophobic or electrostatic forces, or by c ctions with cell-surface components; fusion with the plasma cell ne by insertion of the lipid bilayer of the liposome into the plasma membrane, with simultaneous e of liposomal contents into the cytoplasm; and by transfer of liposomal lipids to cellular or subcellular membranes, or vice versa, without any association of the liposome contents.
Varying the liposome formulation can alter which mechanism is operative, although more than one can operate at the same time. Nanocapsules can generally entrap compounds in a stable and ucible way. To avoid side effects due to intracellular polymeric overloading, such ultraf1ne particles (sized around 0.1 um) should be designed using polymers able to be degraded in vivo. Biodegradable polyalkyl-cyanoacrylate nanoparticles that meet these requirements are contemplated for use herein, and such particles can be easily made. 4. Exemplary PH20-Insulin Co-Formulation Provided herein are stable co-formulations of a fast acting insulin, such as a rapid acting (fast-acting) insulin analog, and a modified PH20 polypeptide.

Application Serial Nos. 13/507,263 or 13/507,262 or in International PCT Application Serial No. PCT/US2012/042816.
In particular, the modified PH20 polypeptide is a modified PH20 polypeptide that exhibits increased stability under denaturation conditions, such as any set forth in Sections C. 1 .b. In particular, the PH20 polypeptide is a modified PH20 polypeptide that exhibits increased stability to one or more phenolic preservatives, such as any set forth in Section C. 1 .b.i. For e, the PH20 polypeptide is a modified PH20 ptide that contains an amino acid replacement With P at a position corresponding to position 204 With reference to amino acid positions set forth in SEQ ID NO:3, such as F204P With reference to any of SEQ ID NOS: 3, 7 or 32-66.

The fast acting insulin can be a regular insulin or a rapid acting (fast-acting) insulin analog. Insulin is a polypeptide that when processed is composed of 5 1 amino acids containing an A- and B- chain. Generally, insulin contains an n of about 21 amino acids and a B-chain of about 30 amino acids. The A- and B- chains are linked by disulfide s. Exemplary regular insulins include, for example, a human insulin (With an A chain having a sequence of amino acids set forth in SEQ ID NO:862 and a B chain having a sequence of amino acids set forth in SEQ ID NO:863) or a porcine insulin (with an A chain having a sequence of amino acids set forth as amino acid residue positions 88-108 of SEQ ID NO:864 and a B chain having a sequence of amino acids set forth as amino acid residue positions 25-54 of SEQ ID NO:864). ary fast-acting insulin analogs are insulin variants that contain one or more amino acid modifications compared to a human insulin set forth in SEQ ID NO: 862 and 863 (A and B chains). For example, exemplary insulin analogs are known to one of skill in the art, and include, but are not limited to, glulisine having an A- chain set forth in SEQ ID NO:862 and a B- chain that is a variant of SEQ ID NO:863 (B- chain; LysB3, GluB29), HMR-l 153 having an A-chain set forth in SEQ ID NO:862 and a B- chain that is a variant of SEQ ID NO:863 (B-chain; LysB3, IleB28), insulin aspart having an A-chain set forth in SEQ ID NO:862 and a B-chain that is a variant of SEQ ID NO:863 (B- chain; AspB28), and insulin lispro having an n set forth in SEQ ID NO:862 and a B- chain that is a variant of SEQ ID NO:863 in; , ProB29). In every instance above, the nomenclature of the analogs is based on a description of the amino acid substitution at c positions on the A or B chain of insulin, numbered from the N- WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 terminus of the chain, in which the remainder of the sequence is that of natural human insulin.
Exemplary of such analog forms, are set forth in SEQ ID NOS:862 (A-chain) and having a B-chain set forth in any of SEQ ID NOS: 865-867.

For example, the co- formulations are stable and retain ty of the PH20 hyaluronidase and n at "refrigerator" conditions, for example, at 2 °C to 8 °C, such as at or about 4 °C, for at least at least 2 , 3 months, 4 months, 5 months, 6 months, or 7 months, at least 8 months, at least 9 months, at least 10 months, at least 11 months, at least 12 months, 13 , 14 months, 15 months, 16 months, 17 months, 18 months, 19 months, 20 months, 21 months, 22 months, 23 , 24 months, 25 months, 26 months, 27 months, 28 months, 29 months or months or more. In another example, the formulations provided herein are stable and retain actiVity of the PH20 hyaluronidase and insulin at room temperature for example at 18 °C to 32 °C, generally 20 °C to 32 °C, such as 28 °C to 32 °C, for at least 2 weeks to 1 year, for example, at least 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 2 months, 3 months, 4 months, 5 months, 6 months, at least 7 months, at least 8 months, at least 9 months, or at least 1 year or more. In a further e, the formulations ed herein are stable and retain actiVity of the PH20 hyaluronidase and insulin at ed temperatures of about or greater than 30 °C, lly from or from about 30 0C to 42 0C, such as 32 0C to 37 0C or 35 0C to 37 0C or about or 37 0C for at least 4 days, 5 days, 6 days, 7 days, 8 days, 9 days, 10 days, 11 days, 12 days, 13 days, 14 days, 15 days, 20 days, 21 days, 22 days, 23 days, 24 days, 25 days, 26 days, 27 days, 28 days, 29 days, 30 days, 35 days, 40 days, 45 days, 50 days, 60 days or more.
Assays to assess stability of active agents are well-known to one of skill in the art. n G provides exemplary assays to asses ity of PH20 hyaluronidase. The stability of insulin can be assessed using similar methods well-known to one of skill in the art. For example, insulin stability and solubility can be assessed by Visual assessment (e.g., including changes in color, clarity, presence of aggregates or clumping and material adhesion, or frosting), acid cation, optical microscopy, reversed phase high mance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), in vitro or in vivo bioassays and denaturing and non-denaturing size exclusion chromatography (SEC). In vitro or in vivo bioassays for insulin activity include, but are not limited to, a competitive binding assay using cells expressing insulin receptors (e. g., human placental cell membranes) and a radiolabeled insulin (see e.g., Weiss et al., (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 018-40024; Duttaroy et al., (2005) Diabetes 54:251-258); insulin-stimulated glucose uptake (Louveau et al., (2004) JEndocrin. 181 :271-280, Duttaroy WO 02144 PCT/US2012/072182 et al., (2005) Diabetes 54:251-258); assays to assess glucose tion in the presence of insulin (Wang et al., (2000) J.

Combinations of a selected modif1ed PH20 polypeptide, or a derivative or variant f and an therapeutic agent also can be packaged in an article of manufacture.
The es of manufacture provided herein contain packaging als. Packaging materials for use in ing pharmaceutical products are well known to those of skill in the art. See, for example, US. Patent Nos. 5,323,907, 5,052,558 and 5,033,252, each ofwhich is incorporated herein in its entirety. Examples of pharmaceutical packaging materials include, but are not limited to, blister packs, bottles, tubes, inhalers, pumps, bags, vials, containers, syringes, bottles, and any packaging material le for a selected formulation and intended mode of administration and treatment. The articles of manufacture can include a needle or other injection device so as to facilitate administration (e. g., sub-epidermal administration) for local injection purposes. A wide array of formulations of the compounds and compositions provided herein are contemplated including a modified PH20 polypeptide and a therapeutic agent, such as a fast-acting insulin, known to treat a particular disease or disorder. The choice of package depends on the PH20 and/or eutic agent, and whether such compositions will be packaged together or separately.

For example, such kits can include an item for measuring the concentration, amount or activity of the selected protease in a subject.
G. Methods of Assessing PH20 Activity and ity Assays can be used to assess the stability and ty of the PH20 polypeptides provided herein. The assays can be used to assess the hyaluronidase activity of the PH20 ptide under particular conditions, temperature, and/or over time. Such assays can be used, for example, to ine the stability of the PH20 polypeptide under specific denaturation conditions, including, but not limited to, elevated temperatures greater than or about or 30 OC (e.g., 30 0C to 42 0C such as or about 37 oC), agitation, presence of excipients WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 —204— (e.g., preservative), or low or no NaCl (salt). For example, stability under specific conditions can be red by assessing activity, solubility, and stability (e. g., formation of aggregates, etc.) in the absence of exposure to the denaturation condition and then at various time points thereafter in the presence of the condition. Hence, stability can be assessed over time.
Stability also can be assessed by comparing any one or more of activity, solubility or aggregation in the presence of one or more denaturation conditions compared to a native, wildtype or reference PH20 polypeptide. The assays also can be used make minor adjustments to the ations provided herein while ing the stability of both active agents. 1. Hyaluronidase Activity The activity of a modified PH20 ptide can be assessed using methods well known in the art. For example, the USP XXII assay for hyaluronidase determines activity indirectly by ing the amount of undegraded hyaluronic acid, or hyaluronan, (HA) substrate remaining after the enzyme is allowed to react with the HA for 30 min at 37 oC (USP XXII-NF XVII (1990) 644-645 United States Pharmacopeia Convention, Inc, lle, MD). A Hyaluronidase Reference Standard (USP) or National ary (NF) Standard Hyaluronidase solution can be used in an assay to ascertain the activity, in units, of any hyaluronidase. In one example, activity is measured using a microturbidity assay. This is based on the formation of an insoluble precipitate when hyaluronic acid binds with a reagent that precipitates it, such as acidified serum or cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC). The ty is measured by incubating hyaluronidase with sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid) for a set period of time (e.g. , 10 minutes) and then precipitating the undigested sodium hyaluronate with the addition of acidified serum or CPC. The turbidity of the resulting sample is measured at 640 nm after an additional development period. The decrease in turbidity resulting from hyaluronidase activity on the sodium hyaluronate ate is a measure of onidase enzymatic activity.
In another example, hyaluronidase ty is measured using a iter assay in which residual biotinylated hyaluronic acid is measured following incubation with hyaluronidase (see e.g., Frost and Stern (1997) Anal. Biochem. 251 :263-269, US. Pat.
Publication No. 20050260186). The free carboxyl groups on the glucuronic acid residues of hyaluronic acid are biotinylated, and the biotinylated hyaluronic acid substrate is covalently coupled to a microtiter plate. Following incubation with onidase, the residual biotinylated hyaluronic acid substrate is detected using an avidin-peroxidase reaction, and compared to that obtained following reaction with hyaluronidase standards of known activity.
WO 02144 PCT/US2012/072182 Other assays to e onidase activity also are known in the art and can be used in the methods herein (see e.g., Delpech et al., (1995) Anal. Biochem. 229:35-41; Takahashi er al., (2003) Anal. Biochem. 322:257-263).
Many hyaluronidase assays have been based upon the measurement of the generation of new reducing N—acetylamino groups (Bonner and Cantey, Clin. Chim. Acta 13:746-752, 1966), or loss of viscosity (De Salegui et al., Arch. m. Biophys.121:548-554, 1967) or turbidity (Dorfinan and Ott, J. Biol. Chem. 172:367, 1948). With purified substrates all of these methods suffice for determination of the presence or absence of endoglycosidase activity. ntially purified glycosaminoglycan substrates can also be used in a Gel Shift Assay. Glycosaminoglycans are mixed with recombinant PH20, such as a soluble PH20, to test for endoglycosidase activity that s in a shift in substrate mobility within the gel.
Examples of such substrates include, but are not limited to, chondroitin-4 and 6 sulfate, dermatan sulfate, heparan-sulfate, which can be obtained from Sigma Chemical. Human umbilical cord Hyaluronan can be obtained from ICN. For example, each test substrate can be diluted to at or about 0.1 mg/mL in a buffer range from pH 3.5 -7.5 . In such an exemplary assay, at or about 10 ul samples of purified soluble PH20 or conditioned media from PH20 expressing cells can be mixed with at or about 90 ul of test substrate in d buffer and incubated for 3 hours at 37 OC. Following incubation, samples are neutralized with sample buffer (Tris EDTA pH 8.0, Bromophenol Blue and glycerol) followed by electrophoresis.
Glycosaminoglycans can be detected using any method known in the art, for example, glycosaminoglycans can be detected by staining the gels using 0.5% Alcian Blue in 3% Glacial Acetic Acid overnight followed by destaining in 7% Glacial Acetic Acid. ation is determined by comparison of substrate mobility in the presence and absence of enzyme.
Hyaluronidase ty can also be detected by ate gel zymography (Guentenhoner et al. (1992) Matrix 12:388-396). In this assay, a sample is applied to an SDS-PAGE gel containing hyaluronic acid and the proteins in the sample separated by electrophoresis. The gel is then incubated in an enzyme assay buffer and subsequently stained to detect the onic acid in the gel. Hyaluronidase activity is visualized as a cleared zone in the substrate gel.
The ability of a PH20 polypeptide, including a modified PH20 polypeptide provided herein, to act as a ing or diffusing agent also can be assessed. For example, trypan blue dye can be injected subcutaneously with or without a PH20 polypeptide into the lateral skin on each side of nude mice. The dye area is then measured, such as with a microcaliper, to WO 2013/102144 2012/072182 determine the ability of the PH20 polypeptide to act as a spreading agent (US. Pat. Pub. No. 20060104968).
The onal ty of a PH20 polypeptide can be compared and/or normalized to a reference standard using any of these assays. This can be done to determine what a functionally equivalent amount of a PH20 polypeptide is. For example, the ability of a PH20 ptide to act as a spreading or diffusing agent can be assessed by injecting it into the l skin of mice with trypan blue, and the amount required to achieve the same amount of diffusion as, for e, 100 units of a Hyaluronidase Reference rd, can be determined. The amount of PH20 polypeptide required is, therefore, functionally equivalent to 100 hyaluronidase units. 2. Solubility The lity of a PH20 polypeptide can be determined by any method known to one of the skill in the art. One method for determining solubility is detergent partitioning. For example, a soluble PH20 polypeptide can be distinguished, for example, by its partitioning into the aqueous phase ofa Triton® X-114 solution at 37 °C (Bordier et al., (1981) J. Biol.
Chem, 256:1604-1607). Membrane-anchored polypeptides, such as lipid-anchored hyaluronidases, including GPI-anchored hyaluronidases, will ion into the detergent-rich phase, but will partition into the detergent-poor or aqueous phase following treatment with Phospholipase C. Phospholipase C is an enzyme that cleaves the phospho-glycerol bond found in GPI-anchored ns. Treatment with PLC will cause release of GPI-linked proteins from the outer cell membrane. 3. Purity, Crystallization 0r Aggregation The stability of a PH20 polypeptide ed herein also can be assessed using other methods and assays known in the art. In addition to assessing stability based on hyaluronidase activity, stability can be assessed by Visual inspection, percent recovery, protein purity and apparent melting temperature.
For example, protein purity can be measured by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). Protein purity, as determined by RP-HPLC, is the percent of the main PH20 n peak present, as compared to all of the protein species t. Thus, RP-HPLC, and similar methods known to one of skill in the art, can assess degradation of the enzyme. Protein purity can be assessed over time. Protein purity also can be assessed in the presence of one or more denaturation conditions and in varying amounts thereof. Percent recovery also can be determined as the relative percentage of the polypeptide under various ions (denaturation ions, time of storage, mode of storage such as vessel or container, or other similar parameters that can be altered) as compared to a reference WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 sample. PHZO polypeptide stability also can be determined by measuring the oxidation of the hyaluronidase by RP-HPLC. Percent oxidation is a e of sum of the peak areas of the major (ox-l) and minor (ox-2) peaks.
In one e, the melting temperature of a PHZO polypeptide, such as a modified PHZO polypeptide, can be determined by measuring the hydrodynamic radius of particles by dynamic light scattering under various conditions (e. g., denaturation conditions or other storage conditions). An increase in particle size and a decrease in the melting temperature indicates denaturation and subsequent aggregation of the hyaluronidase.
Other methods known to one of skill in the art that can be used to determine the ity of the hyaluronidase in the co-formulations provided herein, include polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis , immunoblotting, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, circular dichroism (CD) and dye-based fluorescence assays. 4. Pharmacodynamics/Pharmacokinetics The effect of administration of a PHZO polypeptide, such as a modified PHZO polypeptide, alone or in combination with another therapeutic agent, on the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic ties of any administered agent also can be assessed in vivo using animal models and/or human ts, such as in the setting of a clinical trial.
Pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic studies can be performed using animal models or can be performed during s with patients administered with a PHZO polypeptide or modified PHZO polypeptide.
Animal models include, but are not limited to, mice, rats, rabbits, dogs, guinea pigs and non-human e models, such as cynomolgus monkeys or rhesus macaques. In some instances, pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic studies are performed using healthy animals.
In other examples, the s are med using animal models of a disease for which therapy with hyaluronan is considered, such as animal models of any onan-associated disease or disorder, for example a tumor model.
The pharmacokinetic properties of a PHZO polypeptide, such as a d PHZO polypeptide, can be assessed by measuring such parameters as the maximum (peak) concentration (Cmax), the peak time (Le. when maximum concentration occurs; Tmax), the , minimum concentration (i.e., the minimum concentration n doses; le-n), the elimination half-life (T1/2) and area under the curve (i.e., the area under the curve generated by plotting time versus concentration; AUC), following administration. The absolute bioavailability of the hyaluronidase can be determined by ing the area under the curve of hyaluronidase following subcutaneous delivery (AUCsc) with the AUC of hyaluronidase following intravenous delivery (AUCiV). te ilability (F), can be calculated using WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 the formula: F = ([AUC]SC >< dosesc) / ([AUCLV >< doseiv). A range of doses and different dosing frequency of dosing can be administered in the pharmacokinetic studies to assess the effect of increasing or decreasing concentrations enzyme, such as d PH20 polypeptide, in the dose.
H. Methods of Treatment and Combination Therapy Provided herein are methods and uses of any of the modified PH20 polypeptides provided herein that exhibit hyaluronidase activity based on its ability to degrade aminoglycan(s) such as hyaluronan. Due to such activity, the modified PH20 polypeptides can be used as a spreading factor to increase the delivery and/or bioavailability of subcutaneously stered therapeutic agents. Delivery of any therapeutic agent, including but not limited to, peptides, proteins, small molecule drugs, nucleic acids, or viruses can be facilitated or ed by co-administration With a modified PH20 polypeptide provided herein. For example, modified PH20 polypeptides can be used to increase the delivery of therapeutic agents such as antibodies (e.g., monoclonal antibodies), cytokines, Immune Globulin, an Insulin, or coagulation factors, to a desired locus, such as by increasing penetration of chemotherapeutic agents into solid tumors. The modified PH20 polypeptides also can be used to treat a hyaluronan-disease or disorder that is characterized by an excess or accumulation of hyaluronan. For example, modified PH20 polypeptides provided herein can be used to for treating a tumor; for treating glycosaminoglycan lation in the brain; for treating a cardiovascular disorder; for treating an ophthalmic disorder; for treating pulmonary disease; for treating ite; and/or for treating a proliferative disorder.
Other methods and uses of a modified PH20 ptide include any that are known to one of skill in the art. For example, various forms of PH20 onidases have been prepared and ed for therapeutic use in . For example, animal-derived onidase preparations include Vitrase® (ISTA Pharmaceuticals), a purified ovine testicular hyaluronidase, and Amphadase® (Amphastar Pharmaceuticals), a bovine ular hyaluronidase. Hylenex® (Halozyme Therapeutics) is a human recombinant hyaluronidase produced by genetically ered Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells containing nucleic acid encoding for soluble rHuPH20 (see e.g., US. Patent No. 7,767,429). Approved therapeutic uses for hyaluronidases include use as an adjuvant to se the absorption and dispersion of other therapeutic agents for hypodermoclysis (subcutaneous fluid administration), and as an adjunct in subcutaneous phy for improving resorption of radiopaque agents. In addition to these indications, hyaluronidases can be used as a therapeutic or ic agent for the treatment of additional diseases and ions. For e, hyaluronidase is commonly used, for example, for peribulbar block in local WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 anesthesia prior ophthalmic surgery. The presence of the enzyme prevents the need for additional blocks and reduces the time to the onset of akinesia (loss of eye movement).
Peribulbar and sub-Tenon's block are the most common applications of hyaluronidase for ophthalmic procedures. Hyaluronidase also can promote ia in cosmetic surgery, such as blepharoplasties and face lifts. It is tood that soluble PH20 onidases provided herein, including esPH20 hyaluronidases, can be used in any method of treatment or ation therapy for which a PH20 hyaluronidase is used (see e.g., U.S. Publication Nos.
US20040268425; US20050260186; US20060104968; and U.S. Appl. Serial Nos. 12/381,844, published as U.S. Publication No. US20100074885; 12/386,249, published as U.S.
Publication No. US20090311237; 12/387,225, published as U.S. Publication No. 0304665; and 12/386,222, published as U.S. Publication No. US201000323 8, each incorporated by reference in their entirety).
Exemplary, non-limiting, methods and uses are described in the following subsections. 1. Methods of Delivering Therapeutic Agents As noted above, onidase is a spreading or diffusing substance that modifies the permeability of connective tissue through the hydrolysis of hyaluronic acid, a polysaccharide found in the intercellular ground substance of connective tissue, and of certain specialized tissues, such as the umbilical cord and vitreous humor. When no spreading factor is present, materials injected subcutaneously, such as drugs, proteins, peptides and nucleic acid, spread very slowly. Co-inj ection with hyaluronidase, however, can cause rapid ing. The rate of diffusion is proportional to the amount of , and the extent of diffusion is proportional to the volume of solution. ed PH20 ptides provided herein can be used to promote or enhance the delivery agents and les to any of a variety of mammalian tissues in vivo. It can be used to facilitate the diffusion and, therefore, promote the ry, of small molecule pharmacologic agents as well as larger le pharmacologic , such as proteins, nucleic acids and ribonucleic acids, and macromolecular compositions than can contain a ation of components including, but not d to, nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, lipid-based molecules and drugs (see e.g., U.S. Publication Nos.
US20040268425; US20050260186; and US20060104968). Modified PH20 polypeptides can be co-administered and/or co-formulated with a therapeutic agent to improve the bioavailability as well as pharmacokinetic (PK) and/or pharmacodynamic (PD) characteristics of co-formulated or co-administered agents. PK/PD parameters that can be improved by using soluble PH20, such as esPH20, include such measures as Cmax (the maximal WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 concentration of agent achieved following absorption in, e.g., the bloodstream), Tmax (the time required to e maximal concentration), T1/2 (the time required for the concentration to fall by half), le-n (the l concentration of agent following metabolism and excretion), AUC (area under the curve of concentration versus time, a measure of the overall amount of ilability), concentrations in various tissues of interest (including, e.g., the rate of achieving desired concentrations, the overall levels, and the duration of maintaining desired levels), and Emax (the maximal effect ed).
The methods of ent provided herein e combination ies with a therapeutic agent for the treatment of a disease or disorder for which the therapeutic agent s. Any therapeutic agent that ameliorates and or otherwise lessens the severity of a disease or condition can be combined with a modified PH2O polypeptide provided herein in order to increase the bioavailability of such therapeutic agent. In particular, modified PH2O polypeptides provided herein can be used in each and all of the combinations described in applications see e.g., U.S. Publication Nos. US20040268425; US20050260186; US20060104968 and U.S. Appl. Serial Nos. 12/381,844, published as U.S. Publication No.
US20100074885; 12/386,249, published as U.S. ation No. US20090311237; 12/387,225, published as U.S. Publication No. US20090304665; and 12/386,222, hed as U.S. Publication No. US2010003238 in place of the disclosed hyaluronidase or hyaluronidase degrading enzyme.
Modified PH2O polypeptides can be administered prior to, subsequent to, intermittently with or simultaneously with the therapeutic agent preparation. Generally, the modified PH2O polypeptide is administered prior to or simultaneously with administration of the therapeutic agent preparation to permit the PH2O to degrade the hyaluronic acid in the interstitial space. The PH2O can be administered at a site different from the site of administration of the therapeutic molecule or the soluble PH2O can be administered at a site the same as the site of administration of the therapeutic molecule.

For example, modified PH20 polypeptides provided herein can be used to increase the delivery of chemotherapeutic agents. Hyaluronidases have also been used to enhance the activity of chemotherapeutics and/or the accessibility of tumors to herapeutics (Schuller et al., 1991, Proc. Amer. Assoc. Cancer Res. 32:173, abstract no. 1034; Czejka et al., 1990, Pharmazie 45 :H.9; Baumgartner et al. (1988) Reg. Cancer Treat. 1:55-58; Zanker et al. (1986) Proc. Amer. Assoc. Cancer Res. 27:390). Combination chemotherapy With hyaluronidase is ive in the treatment of a y of cancers including urinary bladder cancer (Horn et al., 1985, J. Surg. Oncol. 28:304-307), squamous cell carcinoma (Kohno et al., 94, J. Cancer Res. Oncol. 3-297), breast cancer (Beckenlehner et al., 1992, J.
Cancer Res. Oncol. 118:591-596), and gastrointestinal cancer (Scheithauer et al., 1988, Anticancer Res. 8:391-396). In this example, the modified PH20 onidase enhances penetration of chemotherapeutic or other anti-cancer agents into solid tumors, thereby treating the disease.
Compositions containing soluble PH20 can be ed intratumorally With anti- cancer agents or enously for disseminated cancers or hard to reach . The anticancer agent can be a chemotherapeutic, an antibody, a peptide, or a gene therapy vector, virus or DNA. Additionally, hyaluronidase can be used to recruit tumor cells into the cycling pool for sensitization in previously chemorefractory tumors that have acquired multiple drug resistance (St Croix et al., (1998) Cancer Lett ber 131(1): 35-44).

Delivery of n Methods provided herein include methods of co-administering a modified PHZO polypeptide and an insulin to increase subcutaneous ry of the insulin, such as a fast- WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 acting insulin (see e.g., US. Patent No. 7,767,429; US. Patent No. 7,846,431; US.
Publication No. US20090304665; and US. Application Serial Nos. 13/507,263; 13/507,262 and 13/507,261). Such methods include methods of direct administration, and pump and continuous infusion methods, including open and closed pump systems. For example, exemplary insulins that can be stered With a modified PH20 hyaluronidase provided herein are fast-acting insulins or n analogs. For example, a co-administered insulin includes a regular n, insulin aspart, insulin lispro, insulin glulisine or other similar analog variants. Exemplary insulins are insulins that contain an A chain set forth in SEQ ID NO:862 and a B chain set forth in SEQ ID NO:863 or variants that contain one or more amino acid modifications compared to a human insulin set forth in SEQ ID NO: 862 and 863 (A and B chains). For example, exemplary n analogs are known to one of skill in the art, and include, but are not limited to, those set forth in SEQ ID NOS:862 (A-chain) and haVing a B- chain set forth in any of SEQ ID NOS: 865-867.
The co-formulations can be administered subcutaneously to treat any condition that is amenable to treatment With insulin. Therapeutic uses include, but are not limited to, treatment for type 1 diabetes mellitus, type 2 diabetes mellitus, gestational diabetes, and for glycemic control in ally ill patients. For example, the co-formulations of a fast acting insulin and hyaluronan degrading enzyme can be administered subcutaneously in te doses, such as Via a syringe or insulin pen, prior to a meal as prandial insulin therapy in subjects With diabetes to achieve glycemic control. The co-formulations also can be administered subcutaneously or intraperitoneally using an insulin pump or in the context of a closed loop system to continuously control blood glucose levels throughout the day and night and/or to control post-prandial glycemic excursions. It is Within the skill of a treating ian to fy such es or ions.
For any disease or condition, including all those exemplified above, for Which a fast- acting insulin is indicated or has been used and for Which other agents and treatments are available, the co-formulations can be used in combination therewith. Depending on the disease or condition to be treated, exemplary ations include, but are not limited to, combinations With anti-diabetic drugs, including, but not limited to, sulfonylureas, biguanides, meglitinides, thiazolidinediones, glucosidase inhibitors, peptide analogs, ing glucagon-like peptide (GLP) analogs and, gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) analogs and DPP-4 inhibitors. In another example, the co-formulations of a fast acting insulin and modified PH20 ptide described herein can be administered in ation with, prior to, intermittently With, or uent to, one or more other insulins, including fast-acting insulin, and basal-acting insulins.
WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 2. Methods of Hyaluronan-Associated Diseases and Conditions (e.g., Tumors) In particular, PH20 hyaluronidase can be used to treat onan-associated diseases or conditions. Typically, hyaluronan-associated es and conditions are associated With elevated hyaluronan expression in a tissue, cell, or body fluid (e.g., tumor tissue or tumor- associated tissue, blood, or interstitial space) compared to a control, e.g., another tissue, cell or body fluid. The elevated onan expression can be elevated compared to a normal tissue, cell or body fluid, for example, a tissue, cell or body fluid that is ous to the sample being tested, but isolated from a different subject, such as a subject that is normal (1.6., does not have a disease or condition, or does not have the type of disease or condition that the subject being tested has), for e, a subject that does not have a hyaluronan-associated e or condition. The elevated hyaluronan expression can be elevated compared to an analogous tissue from another subject that has a similar disease or condition, but Whose disease is not as severe and/or is not hyaluronan-associated or expresses relatively less hyaluronan and thus is hyaluronan-associated to a lesser degree. For example, the subject being tested can be a subject With a hyaluronan-associated , Where the HA amounts in the tissue, cell or fluid are relatively elevated compared to a subject having a less severe cancer, such as an early stage, entiated or other type of cancer. In another e, the cell, tissue or fluid ns elevated levels of hyaluronan compared to a control sample, such as a fluid, tissue, extract (e.g., cellular or nuclear extract), nucleic acid or peptide preparation, cell line, biopsy, standard or other sample, With a known amount or relative amount of HA, such as a sample, for example a tumor cell line, known to express vely low levels of HA, such as exemplary tumor cell lines described herein that express low levels of HA, for example, the HCT 116 cell line, the HT29 cell line, the NCI H460 cell line, the DUl45 cell line, the Capan-l cell line, and tumors from tumor models generated using such cell lines.
Hyaluronan- associated diseases and ions include those associated With high interstitial fluid pressure, such as disc pressure, proliferative disorders, such as cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia, and edema. Edema can result from or be sted in, for example, organ transplant, stroke or brain trauma. Proliferative disorders include, but are not limited to, cancer, smooth muscle cell proliferation, systemic sclerosis, cirrhosis of the liver, adult respiratory distress syndrome, idiopathic cardiomyopathy, lupus matosus, retinopathy, e. g. , diabetic retinopathy or other retinopathies, cardiac hyperplasia, reproductive system associated disorders, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and ovarian cysts, pulmonary fibrosis, endometriosis, fibromatosis, hamartomas, ngiomatosis, sarcoidosis, desmoid tumors. Cancers include solid and lymphatic/blood tumors and WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 metastatic disease, and erentiated tumors. The tumors amenable to treatment typically exhibit cellular and/or stromal expression of a hyaluronan, compared to a non-cancerous tissue of the same tissue type or compared to a non-metastatic tumor of the same tumor-type.
Cancers include any one or more of ovarian cancer, in situ carcinoma (lSC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, other gastric cancers, non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, brain cancer and colon cancer.
Modifled PH20 polypeptides provided herein, such as PEGylated forms thereof, can be used to treat tumors. Thus, in addition to its ct anticancer effects, hyaluronidases also have direct anticarcinogenic effects. Hyaluronidase prevents grth of tumors transplanted into mice (De Maeyer et al., 1992, Int. J. Cancer 51 :657-660) and inhibits tumor formation upon re to carcinogens (Pawlowski et al., 1979, Int. J. Cancer 23:105-109; Haberman et al., 1981, Proceedings of the 17th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, Washington, DC, 22:105, abstract no. 415). PH20 onidase has been shown to treat various tumors (see e.g., U.S. Publication No. US2010/0003238 and U.S.
Application Serial No. 13/135,817, published as U.S. Publication No. US20120020951).
The hyaluronan-rich cancer can be a cancer in which the cancer cells produce HALOs, cancers that have elevated expression of hyaluronan (as determined by immunostaining, e.g., histological staining of sections from the tumor), cancers that have elevated HAS2 (Hyaluronan se 2), cancers that do not produce hyaluronidase (HYALl) in vitro. onan-rich s can be identified by any method for assessing hyaluronan sion, and other known methods for assaying protein/mRNA expression.
Several hyaluronan-rich cancers have been identified. In some cases, hyaluronan expression ates with poor prognosis, for example, decreased survival rate and/or recurrence-free survival rate, metastases, angiogenesis, cancer cell on into other tissues/areas, and other indicators of poor prognosis. Such ation has been ed, for example, in hyaluronan-rich tumors including ovarian , SCC, lSC, prostate cancer, lung cancer, including non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), breast cancer, colon cancer and pancreatic cancer (see, for example, Anttila et al., Cancer Research, 60:150-155 (2000); Karvinen et al., British Journal ofDermatology, 148:86-94 (2003); Lipponen et al., Eur.
Journal ofCancer, 849-856 (2001); Pirinen et al., Int. J. Cancer: 95: 12-17 (2001); Auvinen et al., American Journal ofPathology, 156(2):529-536 (2000); Ropponen et al., Cancer Research, 58: 342-347 (1998)). Thus, onan-rich cancers can be treated by administration of a hyaluronidase, such as a soluble PH20, to treat one or more ms of the cancer. onan-rich tumors include, but are not limited to those of the prostate, breast, colon, ovarian, stomach, head and neck and other tumors and cancers.
WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 —224— Other hyaluronan-associated diseases or conditions that are associated with excess glycosaminoglycans and that can be treated with a modified PH20 polypeptide provided herein include, but are not limited to, cardiovascular disease (e.g., following ischemia reperfusion; in osclerosis); Vitrectomy and ophthalmic disorders and conditions (e.g., in methods to y the Vitreous humor of the eye; reduce postoperative pressure; other ocular surgical procedures such as glaucoma, Vitreous and retina surgery and in corneal transplantation); in hypodermoclysis (i.e., infusion of fluids and electrolytes into the hypodermis of the skin); cosmetic applications (e.g., in the treatment of cellulite, "pigskin" edema or e peel" edema); organ transplantation (e.g., associated with interstitial edemas in connection with ng of an organ); pulmonary disease. 3. Other uses In r examples of its therapeutic use, d PH20 polypeptides provided herein, can be used for such purposes as an antidote to local necrosis from paravenous injection of necrotic substances such as Vinca alkaloids (Few et al. (1987) Amer. J. .
Child Nurs. 12, 23-26), treatment of ganglion cysts (Paul et al. (1997) JHand Surg. 22 (2): 219-21) and treatment of tissue necrosis due to venous insufficiency (Elder et al. (1980) Lancet 648-649). d PH20 polypeptides also can be used to treat ganglion cysts (also known as a wrist cyst, Bible cyst, or dorsal tendon cyst), which are the most common soft tissue mass of the hand and are fluid filled sacs that can be felt below the skin.
Modified PH20 polypeptides can be used in the treatment of spinal cord injury by ing oitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs). Following spinal cord injury, glial scars containing CSPGs are produced by astrocytes. CSPGs play a crucial role in the inhibition of axon growth. In addition, the expression of CSPG has been shown to increase following injury of the central nervous system (CNS). Soluble PH20 also can be ed for the treatment of herniated disks in a process known as chemonucleolysis. Chondroitinase ABC, an enzyme cleaVing similar substrates as onidase, can induce the reduction of intradiscal pressure in the lumbar spine. There are three types of disk injuries. A protruded disk is one that is intact but bulging. In an extruded disk, the fibrous wrapper has torn and the NP has oozed out, but is still connected to the disk. In a sequestered disk, a fragment of the NP has broken loose from the disk and is free in the spinal canal. Chemonucleolysis is typically ive on protruded and extruded disks, but not on sequestered disk injuries. 4. Contraception Modified PH20 polypeptides provided herein can be used as vaccines in contraceptive applications. PH20 is present in the male uctive tract, and is expressed in both the testis and epididymis and is present in sperm. PH20 plays a role in fertilization by WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 facilitating entry of the sperm h the cumulus layer surrounding the unfertilized egg.
PH20 also is able to bind to onic acid (HA) on the zona pellucida during early phases of fertilization. This binding also initiates intracellular signaling that aids in the acrosome reaction. Immunization with PH20 has been show to be an effective contraceptive in male guinea pigs (Primakoff et al. (1988) Nature 335:543-546, Tung et al. (1997) Biol. Reprod. 56:1133-1141). It also has been shown to be an effective contraceptive in female guinea pigs due to the generation of anti-PH20 antibodies that prevent sperm and egg g. In examples herein, the modified PH20 polypeptides can be inactive enzymes, such as any described in Sections C2. The polypeptides can be stered ly or can be administered as a recombinant Virus to deliver the antigen. 1. EXAMPLES The following es are included for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
EXAMPLE 1 GENERATION 0F RECOMBINANT HUMAN PH20 HYALURONIDASE (rHuPH20) A. Generation of a soluble rHuPHZO-expressing cell line A recombinant human PH20 hyaluronidase designated rHuPH20 was generated as described in hed U.S. Publication No. US201 10053247. Briefly, the pCI-PH20-IRES- DHFR-SV40pa (HZ24) plasmid (set forth in SEQ ID NO:5) was used to transfect Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO cells) (see e.g., US. Patent Nos. 7,767,429 and 7,781,607 and US.
Publication No. 2006-0104968). The HZ24 plasmid vector for sion of soluble rHuPH20 contains a pCI vector backbone ga), DNA encoding amino acids 1-482 of human PH20 hyaluronidase (SEQ ID NO:2), an internal ribosomal entry site (IRES) from the ECMV Virus (Clontech), and the mouse dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) gene. The pCI vector backbone also includes DNA ng the Beta-lactamase resistance gene (AmpR), an f1 origin of ation, a Cytomegalovirus immediate-early enhancer/promoter region (CMV), a chimeric intron, and an SV40 late polyadenylation signal (SV40). The DNA encoding the soluble rHuPH20 construct contains an Nhel site and a Kozak consensus ce prior to the DNA encoding the methionine at amino acid position 1 of the native 35 amino acid signal sequence of human PH20, and a stop codon following the DNA encoding the tyrosine corresponding to amino acid position 482 of the human PH20 hyaluronidase set forth in SEQ ID NO:2, followed by a BamHI restriction site.
Non-transfected DG44 CHO cells growing in GIBCO Modified CD-CHO media for DHFR(-) cells, supplemented with 4 mM Glutamine and 18 mL/L Plurionic F68/L (Gibco), were seeded at 0.5 x 106 cells/mL in a shaker flask in preparation for transfection. Cells were WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 grown at 37 0C in 5% C02 in a humidified incubator, shaking at 120 rpm. Exponentially growing non-transfected DG44 CHO cells were tested for ity prior to transfection.
Sixty n Viable cells of the non-transfected DG44 CHO cell culture were pelleted and resuspended to a density of 2 ><107 cells in 0.7 mL of 2x transfection buffer (2x HeBS: 40 mM Hepes, pH 7.0, 274 mM NaCl, 10 mM KCl, 1.4 mM NaZHPO4, 12 mM dextrose). To each aliquot of resuspended cells, 0.09 mL (250 ug) of the linear HZ24 d rized by overnight digestion with Clal (New England Biolabs) was added, and the cell/DNA solutions were transferred into 0.4 cm gap BTX (Gentronics) electroporation cuvettes at room temperature. A negative control electroporation was med with no plasmid DNA mixed with the cells. The cell/plasmid mixes were electroporated with a capacitor discharge of 330 V and 960 uF or at 350 V and 960 uF.
The cells were removed from the es after electroporation and transferred into 5 mL of Modified CD-CHO media for DHFR(-) cells, supplemented with 4 mM Glutamine and 18 mL/L Plurionic F68/L (Gibco), and d to grow in a well of a 6-well tissue culture plate without selection for 2 days at 37 0C in 5% C02 in a humidified incubator.
Two days post-electroporation, 0.5 mL of tissue culture media was removed from each well and tested for the presence of hyaluronidase actiVity, using the microturbidity assay described in e 8. The results are set forth in Table 6.
Table 6: Initial Hyaluronidase Activity of HZ24 Transfected DG44 CHO cells at 40 hours 0st—transfecti0n ——Activit(Units/mL) Transfectionl 330V Transfection 2 350V Negative Control 0015 Cells from Transfection 2 (350V) were collected from the tissue culture well, counted and diluted to 1 ><104 to 2 ><104 Viable cells per mL. A 0.1 mL aliquot of the cell suspension was transferred to each well of five, 96 well round bottom tissue culture plates. One hundred microliters of CD-CHO media (GIBCO) containing 4 mM GlutaMAXTM-l supplement (GIBCOTM, InVitrogen Corporation) and without hypoxanthine and thymidine ments were added to the wells containing cells (final volume 0.2 mL). Ten clones were identified from the 5 plates grown without methotrexate (Table 7).
Table 7. H aluronidase activi of identified clones Vell ID Relative H aluronidase WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 Six HZ24 clones were expanded in culture and transferred into shaker flasks as single cell suspensions. Clones 3D3, 3E5, 2G8, 2D9, 1E11, and 4D10 were plated into 96-well round bottom tissue e plates using a two-dimensional infinite dilution strategy in which cells were d 1:2 down the plate, and 1:3 across the plate, starting at 5000 cells in the top left hand well. d clones were grown in a background of 500 non-transfected DG44 CHO cells per well, to provide necessary grth factors for the initial days in culture. Ten plates were made per subclone, with 5 plates containing 50 nM methotrexate and 5 plates without methotrexate.
Clone 3D3 ed 24 visual subclones (13 from the no methotrexate treatment, and 11 from the 50 nM methotrexate treatment). Significant hyaluronidase activity was measured in the supematants from 8 of the 24 subclones (>50 Units/mL), and these 8 subclones were expanded into T-25 tissue culture flasks. Clones isolated from the methotrexate treatment protocol were expanded in the presence of 50 nM methotrexate. Clone 3D35M was further expanded in 500 nM methotrexate giving rise to clones producing hyaluronidase activity in excess of 1,000 Units/mL in shaker flasks (clone 3D35M; or Genl 3D35M). A master cell bank (MCB) of the 3D35M cells was then prepared.
B. Production Gen2 Cells Containing Soluble human PH20 (rHuPH20) The Genl 3D35M cell line described in Example 1.A was d to higher methotrexate levels to produce generation 2 (Gen2) clones. 3D35M cells were seeded from ished methotrexate-containing cultures into CD CHO medium containing 4 mM GlutaMAX-lTM and 1.0 uM methotrexate. The cells were adapted to a higher methotrexate level by g and passaging them 9 times over a period of 46 days in a 37 °C, 7% C02 humidified incubator. The amplified population of cells was cloned out by limiting dilution in 96-well tissue culture plates containing medium with 2.0 uM methotrexate. After approximately 4 weeks, clones were identified and clone 3E10B was selected for expansion. 3E10B cells were grown in CD CHO medium containing 4 mM GlutaMAX-l TM and 2.0 uM methotrexate for 20 passages. A master cell bank (MCB) of the 3E10B cell line was created and frozen and used for subsequent studies.
Amplification of the cell line continued by culturing 3E10B cells in CD CHO medium ning 4 mM GlutaMAX-l TM and 4.0 uM rexate. After the 12Th passage, cells were frozen in vials as a research cell bank (RCB). One vial of the RCB was thawed WO 02144 PCT/US2012/072182 and cultured in medium containing 8.0 uM methotrexate. After 5 days, the rexate concentration in the medium was increased to 16.0 uM, then 20.0 uM 18 days later. Cells from the 8Th e in medium containing 20.0 uM methotrexate were cloned out by limiting dilution in 96-well tissue culture plates containing CD CHO medium containing 4 mM GlutaMAX-lTM and 20.0 uM rexate. Clones were identified 5-6 weeks later and clone 2B2 was selected for expansion in medium containing 20.0 uM methotrexate. After the 11Th passage, 2B2 cells were frozen in Vials as a research cell bank (RCB).
The resultant 2B2 cells are dihydrofolate reductase deficient (dhfr-) DG44 CHO cells that express e recombinant human PH20 (rHuPH20). The soluble PH20 is present in 2B2 cells at a copy number of imately 206 copies/cell. Southern blot analysis of Spe 1- Xba I- and BamH I/Hind III-digested genomic 2B2 cell DNA using a rHuPH20-specific , probe revealed the ing restriction digest profile: one major hybridizing band of ~7.7 kb and four minor hybridizing bands (~13.9, ~6.6, ~5.7 and N46 kb) with DNA digested with Spe I; one major hybridizing band of ~5.0 kb and two minor izing bands (~13.9 and ~65 kb) with DNA digested with Xba I; and one single hybridizing band of NI .4 kb observed using 2B2 DNA ed with BamH I/Hind 111.
C. Production of GenZ soluble rHuPH20 in 300 L Bioreactor Cell Culture A Vial of HZ24-2B2 was thawed and expanded from shaker flasks through 36 L spinner flasks in CD-CHO media (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) supplemented with 20 uM methotrexate and GlutaMAX-lTM (Invitrogen).

EXAMPLE 2 GENERATION 0F PH20 MUTANT LIBRARY A. Cloning and Mutagenesis In this example, a human hyaluronidase PH20 library was created by cloning DNA encoding human PH20 into a plasmid followed by transfection and n sion.
The library was created by mutagenesis of a PH20 template that is a codon optimized version of PH20 with an Ig Kappa leader sequence. Specifically, for generating the library of variants, the HZZ4-PH20(OHO)-IRES-SEAP expression vector (set forth in SEQ ID NO:4) was used as a template, which contains the sequence of nucleotides encoding PH20 set forth in SEQ ID NO:1, which encodes a precursor PH20 set forth in SEQ ID N02 or a mature PH20 set forth in SEQ ID NO:3 lacking residues 1-22 corresponding to the IgK signal I5 sequence. The ne of the vector was derived from the al H224 vector containing the DHFR selection marker (see Example 1 and SEQ ID NO:5) with the addition of an IgK leader sequence and codon optimization. The expression vector also was modified to contain the gene for secreted alkaline phosphatase (SEAP). Hence, in addition to sequence ng PH20, the HZZ4-PH20(OHO)-IRES-SEAP expression vector also contains an internal ribosome entry site (EMCV IRES) that is linked to the coding sequence for the gene for secreted alkaline phosphatase (SEAP), and a single CMV promoter that drives expression of PH20 and SEAP in the construct. It also contains a gene for ampilcillin resistance. With reference to the sequence of tides set forth in SEQ ID NO:4, the sequence of nucleotides encoding PH20 corresponds to nucleotides 105 8-2464 (including the IgK leader sequence), the ce of nucleotides ng SEAP corresponds to nucleotides 2970- 4529, and the ampicillin resistance gene corresponds to nucleotides 5778-6635.
The first library was made to generate encoded t proteins wherein each of residues 23-469 of SEQ ID NO:2 (corresponding to residues 1-447 of SEQ ID N03 or residues 36-482 of SEQ ID NO:6) was changed to one of about 15 amino acid es, such that each member contained a single amino change. The resulting library contained 6753 t members, each containing a single amino acid mutation compared to residues 23-469 of SEQ ID NO:2 (corresponding to residues 1-447 of SEQ ID N03 or residues 36-482 of SEQ ID NO:6). Glycerol stocks of the resulting y were prepared and stored at -80 OC.
The amino acid replacements (mut) in each member are listed in Table 8 below, and correspond to amino acid replacements with reference to the sequence of amino acids of WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 PH20 set forth in SEQ ID N03 (and SEQ ID NOS: 7 or 32-66, Which are the mature sequence of PH20 or other C-terminally ted fragments thereof). The corresponding mutated codons (cod) of each PH20 variant in the library are also listed in Table 8, and correspond to nucleotide e changes in the corresponding encoding nucleotide for PH20 set forth as 105 8-2464 of SEQ ID NO:4. Each member was expressed and screened for hyaluoridase activity as described below.

Expression For expression of each mutant, HZZ4-PH20-IRES-SEAP d DNA containing cDNA encoding one of the variant PH20 or encoding wildtype PH20 was transfected into monolayer CHO-S cells (lnvitrogen, Cat. No. 11619-012) using Lipofectamine 2000 (1nvitrogen, Cat. No. 11668-027) according to the protocol suggested by the manufacturer.
CHO-S cells were seeded the night before transfection and grown in DMEM with 10% FBS to be 80% confluent the next day. Then, the medium of the CHO-S cells was replaced with Opti-MEM. A mixture of d DNA and lipofectamine was made (0.2 ug DNA and 0.5 uL Lipofetamine). The Lipofectamine/DNA mixture was added to CHO-S cells and incubated overnight. The next day, the cells were supplemented with CD-CHO serum free medium (1nvitrogen, Cat. No. 10743-029). Supernatant from transfected cells was collected at s time points after transfection, and generally 96 hours after transfection. The atant, containing the t PH20 protein or wildtype PH20 having a sequence of amino acids set forth in SEQ ID NO:3, was stored at -20 OC. Activities of the supernatants were screened as described in the following examples.
WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 EXAMPLE 3 SCREENING OF LIBRARY WITH A HYALURONIDASE ACTIVITY ASSAY TO IDENTIFY TY MUTANTS In this example, supematants of sed PH20 variants ted in Example 2 were screened using a hyaluronidase activity assay to assess ty of each . In on, activity of the secreted alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) was also measured to allow for normalizing PH20 activity of the expressed mutants to the PH20 wildtype. Active and inactive mutants were identified. 1. Generation of Biotinylated HA (bHA) Substrate A 1.2-MDa HA (Lifecore) was biotinylated for use as a substrate in the hyaluronidase activity assay. First, 1.2 grams (g) of 1.2 MDa HA was ed at 4 0C in 600 mL ddH20 for a week at a concentration of 2 mg/mL with stirring. Next, 645.71 mg Biotin Hydrazide was dissolved in 100 mL DMSO to a concentration of 25 mM (6.458 mg/mL, 247.8 mg in 38.37 mL DMSO). The biotin solution was warmed briefly at 37 0C until the on was clear. Also, 368.61 mg Sulfo-NHS in 20 mL ddH20 was dissolved to make a 100K solution (18.4 mg/mL Sulfo-NHS). A 30 mM (1000X) water-soluble carbodiimide EDC solution was made by dissolving 17.63 mg EDC in 3 mL ddH20 at a concentration of .7513 mg/mL right before the reaction was started.
To four (4) 1000-mL sterile capped bottles, the following components were added at room temperature (RT) and in the following order with stirring: 1) 200 mL of 2 mg/mL HA solution; 2) 80 mL of 0.5M MES, pH 5.0 with gentle mixing; and 3) 91.6 mL of ddH20 with gentle mixing. Next, 24 mL of 25 mM Biotin-Hydrazide and 4 mL of 100X NHS solution were added sequentially, immediately followed by the addition of 500 uL EDC.
After the addition of each component, the on was mixed by inverting three times and stirring. After the addition of the last component, the solution was mixed by stirring overnight at 4 OC. Then, Guanidine hydrochloride was added to a final concentration of 4 M by adding 38.2 g per 100 mL and was allowed to dissolve completely before adjusing the solution volume to 600 mL with ddH20.
For dialysis, 200 mL from each batch of the conjugated HA guanidine hydrochloride solution was transferred into dialysis membranes. Over the course of three days, the solution was dialyzed against ddH20 with a change in ddH20 at least six times. The resulting volume of about 840 mL was adjusted to a final volume of 1000 mL with ddH20. The final tration of the biotinylated hyaluronan (bHA) was 0.4 mg/mL.
WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 2. Hyaluronidase Activity Assay The enzyme assay was a modification of the method described by Frost et al. (1997) (A iter-Based Assay for Hyaluronidase Activity Not Requiring Specialized Reagents.
Analytical Biochemistry (1997) 251 :263-269) that es a measure of PH20 hyaluronidase ty.
First, biotinylated HA (bHA) substrate was bound to plastic microtiter plates to generate assay plates. Briefly, 100 pl ofb-HA at 1 mg/mL in 0.5 M carbonate buffer (pH 9.6) was dispensed into each well of a high bind microplate olon 4 HBX extra high binding; Thermo Scientific). The plate was covered with a plate sealer and stored between 2- 8 0C for 24-48 hours.
Then, the assay plate was washed with 1 X phosphate buffered saline (PBS) wash buffer containing 0.05% (v/v) Tween 20 (PBST). PBST was generated from 1X PBS (generated from Catalog No. P5368, Sigma (10 mM Phosphate Buffer, 2.7 mM Potassium Chloride, 137 mM Sodium Chloride, pH 7.4) by g the contents of one packet of PBS into a 1-L graduated cylinder with 800 mL deionized water, dissolved by stirring or shaking and adding sufficient quantity of water to 1 L) by adding 500 pl Tween 20 (Catalog No. 6505; EMD Bioscience) to 900 mL of 1 X PBS and adding sufficient ty of water to 1 L.
Washing was done using the BioTek ELx405 Select CW plate washer (BioTek) by washing five (5) times with 300 pl PBST wash buffer per well for each wash. At the end of each wash, the plate was tapped on a paper towel to remove excess liquid from each well. Prior to incubation with s, 200 pl ng Buffer (1.0% w/v Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) in PBS) was added to each well and the assay plate was incubated at 37 0C for approximately 1 hour prior. The Blocking buffer was ted by adding 2.5 g of BSA (Catalog No. 001- 000-162; Jackson Immuno Research) to 200 mL 1 X PBS, stirring, adding a sufficient quantity of 1 X PBS to 250 mL and filtering through an 0.2 uM PES filter unit.
Transfected variant or wildtype PH20 supematants generated as described in Example 1 were diluted in duplicate 1:25 in assay diluent buffer (pH 7.4 HEPES buffer; 10 mM HEPES, 50 mM NaCl, 1 mM CaClg, 1 mg/mL BSA, pH 7.4, 0.05% Tween-20) in uncoated 4XHB high bound microplates. For the rd curve, 1:3 serial dilutions of rHuPH20 (generated as described in Example 1 with a specific activity of 145 U/mL) were made in assay diluent buffer in duplicate starting from 3 U/mL for standards as s: 3 U/mL, 1 U/mL, 1/3 U/mL, 1/9 U/mL, 1/27 U/mL, 1/81 U/mL, and 1/243 U/mL. One hundred microliters (100 pl) of each standard and sample were transferred to the assay plates and incubated for approximately 1.5 hours at 37 OC.
WO 02144 PCT/US2012/072182 After the incubation, the plate was washed with PBST using the BioTek ELx405 Select CW plate washer by g five (5) times with 300 pl PBST wash buffer per well for each wash. At the end of each wash, the plate was tapped on a paper towel to remove excess liquid from each well. Then, 100 pl of 1 :5000 diluted Streptavidin-HRP (SA-HRP) was added to each well of the plate and incubated at ambient temperature for approximately 1 hour. For the dilution, a 1 mg/mL stock of Streptavidin-HRP conjugate (Catalog No. 21126; Thermo Scientific) was diluted 1:5000 into dilution buffer (1 mg/mL BSA, 0.025% Tween20, 137 mM NaCl, 20 mM Tris pH 7.5). After the incubation, the plate was washed with PBST using the BioTek ELx405 Select CW plate washer by washing five (5) times with 300 pl PBST wash buffer per well for each wash. At the end of each wash, the plate was tapped on a paper towel to remove excess liquid from each well. Then, 100 pl of TMB solution (Catalog No. 03, KPL; ambient temperature and protected from light) was added to each well for approximately five (5) minutes at room temperature or until an optimal color development was yielded. To stop the reaction, 100 pl 1.0 N Sulfuric Acid or TMB Stop solution (Catalog No. 5006) were added to each well and the plates tapped to mix. Optical density was measured at 450 nm within 30 minutes of adding the stop on. Since more PH20 in a standard or sample would lead to less bHA available to bind , the optical density (450 nm) value was inversely proportional to the concentration of hyaluronidase activity in each specimen. 3. SEAP Activity Activity of secreted alkaline atase (SEAP) in the cell culture supernatant also was measured using a colorimetric assay of placental alkaline phosphatase using pNPP as a phosphatase substrate (Anaspec SensoLyte pNPP SEAP kit; Catalog No. 72144, Anaspec) ing to the manufacturer’s instructions. The absorbance signal was measured at optical density (OD) of 405 nm.
The criteria for the high throughput (HTP) screening were that the transfected supernatant resulted in a SEAP signal of 2 0.1 and the signal for the rHuPH20 wildtype l produced a signal of Z 1 U/mL. Also, the criteria for each screen were that the standard curves had a signal to noise ratio (S/N) for the 0 U/mL standard versus the 3 u/mL standard at OD405 of Z 5, had less than three (3) standards with a ient of variation (CV) Z 10%, and at least four (4) of the standards were in the linear range.
EXAMPLE 4 SELECTED PH20 VARIANTS WITH ALTERED HYALURONIDASE ACTIVITY Each generated variant was screened for nidase activity as described in Example 3. The SEAP expression was used to ize PH20 activity of each variant to the WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 PH20 wildtype. Mutants were identified that exhibited d hyaluronidase activity compared to wildtype. 1. Active Mutants Active mutants were selected whereby at least one duplicate sample exhibited greater than 40% of wildtype activity when ized to SEAP actiVity. The identified active mutants are set forth in Table 9. The Table sets forth the amino acid ement compared to the sequence of amino acids of PH20 set forth in SEQ ID N03. The amino acid sequence of exemplary mutants also is set forth by reference to a SEQ ID NO. The Table also sets forth the average hyaluronidase actiVity of tested duplicates normalized by SEAP values compared to average of wildtype PH20 actiVities in each plate, which were also normalized by their own SEAP values. For example, a value of 0.40 indicates that the variant exhibits 40% of the hyaluronidase actiVity of wildtype PH20, a value of 1 indicates that the variant ts a similar hyaluronidase actiVity of wildtype and a value of 3.00 indicates that the variant exhibits 300% of the hyaluronidase actiVity of wildtype PH20 or 3-fold increased activity compared to wildtype.
The results in Table 9 show that over 600 tested mutants exhibit ty that is increased compared to wildtype. For example, about 536 mutants exhibit 120% or r than 120% of the hyaluronidase actiVity of wildtype PH20 and about 75 of the mutants exhibit 300% or r than 300% of the hyaluronidase actiVity of wildtype PH20. In particular, the results in Table 9 show that that onidase actiVity ed to wildtype of mutant S69A is about 22-fold; mutant S69R is about 14-fold; mutant I70A is about 27-fold; mutant I70K is about 14-fold; mutant I70R is about 14-fold; and mutant 1271L is about 10-fold.

Inactive Mutants The other mutants that exhibited less than 20% hyaluronidase activity of wildtype PH20, in at least one of the duplicates, were rescreened to confirm that the dead mutants are inactive. To confirm the inactive mutants, the hyaluronidase activity assay described in Example 3 was modified to incorporate an overnight 37 oC substrate-sample tion step prior to measurement of tic activity. The modified assay is intended to detect PH20 activities below 0.2 U/mL.
The preparation of the bHA coated plates and blocking of the plates prior to addition of the transfected variant supernatants or wildtype PH20 was the same as described in Example 3. The assay was d as follows. First, transfected variant supernatants or wildypte PH20 not containing a mutation generated as described in Example 2 were diluted in duplicate 1:25 in assay diluent. For the standard curve, 1:3 serial dilutions of rHuPH20 (generated as bed in e 1) were made in assay diluent in duplicate starting from 0.1 U/mL down to 0.00014 U/mL. A blank well also was included. Then, 100 pl ofthe diluted s or standard were added to pre-designated wells of the bHA-coated and blocked plate and d to incubate at 37 OC overnight. After the incubation, the plates WO 2013/102144 2012/072182 were washed and binding to bHA detected as described above in Example 3. Optical y was measured at 450 nm within 30 minutes of adding the stop solution.
The identified reconfirmed inactive mutants are set forth in Table 10. The Table sets forth the amino acid replacement compared to the sequence of amino acids of PH20 set forth in SEQ ID NO:3.

The assay to measure hyaluronidase activity under temperature and phenophile conditions using biotinylated-HA (bHA) as substrate for measuring hyaluronidase activity was modified from the original assay described in Example 3 in that it incorporated a 4-hour 37 oC tion of samples with or without m-cresol prior to measurement of enzymatic activity. The assay was used to identify PHZO mutants with thermophilic properties ity greater at 37 oC ion than at 4 0C) and/or with phenolphilic properties (greater activity in the presence of m—cresol than wildtype PHZO). 1. Primary Screen Prior to incubating s with bHA, variant PHZO samples were diluted into designated wells of an uncoated 4XHB plate for pre-incubation at 37 0C for 4 hours under the following conditions: 1) pre-incubation at 37 0C with 0.4% ol; and 2) pre-incubation at 37 OC without 0.4% ol. For the preincubation at 37 0C with 0.4% m-cresol, a 1% m- WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 cresol intermediate stock was prepared from 50% (v/v) m—cresol stock on. Briefly, in a 2 mL Wheaton glass vial a 50% stock of m—cresol (Fluka, Catalog No. 65996; Spectrum, Catalog No. C2773) was made in methanol based on the density (D=1.034 g/L). The vial was sealed and stored at -20°C with protection from light in small aliquotes. Then, the 1% intermediate stock was generated by dilution in HEPES assay buffer (10 mM HEPES, 50 mM NaCl, 1 mM CaClg, 1 mg/mL BSA, pH 7.4, 0.05% Tween-20) daily immediately prior to use in a fume hood with vortexing.
Then, duplicates of transfected variant supernatant samples set forth in Table 9, generated as bed above in Example 2, were each separately ted to a 1:25 dilution of 1% m-cresol in HEPES assay buffer/ transfected supernatant to obtain 0.4% final traion of m-cresol. For the preincubation at 37 °C without 0.4% m—cresol, transfected variant supernatant samples were subjected to a 1:25 dilution in HEPES assay buffer/transfected supernatant. In on, for each condition, an internal killing control was also tested by spiking in 3 U/mL of rHuPH20 in pH 7.4 HEPES buffer (generated as described in Example 1) that was diluted the same as described above for the transfected samples. The plates were sealed with plate s and incubated at 37 0C for 4 hours.
The preparation of the bHA coated plates and blocking of the plates prior to addition of the transfected variant tants or wildtype PH20 was the same as described in Example 3. The assay was further d as follows. First, samples were diluted in duplicate 1:10 in HEPES assay buffer in 4XHB plates. For each variant, the samples that were tested were 1) non-preincubated ected variant supernatant (no incubation; 4 OC ); 2) preincubated transfected variant supematants preincubated at 37 0C for 4 hours with 0.4% m—cresol (Cresol); or 3) preincubated transfected variant supernatant preincubated at 37 0C for 4 hours without 0.4% m—cresol (no cresol; 37 0C). In addition, the spiked-in samples also were tested. A standard curve using 0 was made as described in Example 3 without m—cresol. One hundred microliters (100 pl) of each standard and sample were transferred to pre-designated wells of the bHA-coated and blocked plate and incubated for approximately 1.5 hours at 37 OC. Thus, each sample of each t was tested in quadruplicate due to the preincubation of duplicate samples of each transfected variant supernatants in the pre- incubation step and the further duplicate of each sample in the bHA assay.
After the tion, the plates were washed and binding to bHA detected as described above in e 3. Optical density was ed at 450 nm within 30 minutes of adding the stop solution.
The U/mL activity was calculated from the standard curve and compared. The results were depicted as the percent (%) activity ing under each of the following parameters: WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 ratio of activity at 1) 37 OC preincubation without m—cresol/4 OC; 2) 37 0C after preincubation with m-cresol/4 °C; and 3) 37 0C after preincubation with m-cresol/after preincubation at 37 oC without m-cresol. Initial phenophile hits for reconfirmation were identified as those that in a ate assay ted a percentage of remaining activity under condition 3) of Z 20% of the original activity at 37 OC.
Initial Hits were rescreened using a 6-well plate rescreen assay. For the rescreen, plasmid DNA corresponding to the potential Hit was transformed into E. coli bacteria and plasmid DNA prepared and purified using MaXiPrep according to the manufacturers instructions. The DNA sequence was confirmed.
The plasmid DNA was transfected into monolayer CHO-S cells (Invitrogen, Cat. No. 11619-012) grown on 6-well plates at a density of about 50-80% confluency using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen, Cat. No. 11668-027) according to the protocol suggested by the manufacturer. Transfections were performed in duplicate. The cells were incubated at 37 0C in a C02 incubator for 96 hours post-transfection before collecting the supernatant for the assay. As controls, cells also were transfected with the HZ24-PH20(OHO)-IRES—SEAP expression vector (SEQ ID NO:4) that contains a codon-optimized wildtype PH20 sequence (OHO). Mock cells also were included as controls.
Ninety-Six (96) hours post-transfections, supernatant was collected from each sample, including the OHO and mock controls, and assayed for hyaluronidase activity under s ions as described above: 1) non-preincubated ected variant supernatant (no tion; 4 oC ); 2) preincubated transfected variant supematants preincubated at 37 0C for 4 hours with 0.4% m—cresol l; 37 0C); or 3) preincubated transfected variant atant preincubated at 37 0C for 4 hours without 0.4% ol (no cresol; 37 OC).
Hyaluronidase activity was determined as described above using the bHA assay.
The results were assessed as described above. Absolute hyaluronidase activity (U/mL) was generated from the rd curve. In addition, percent activity was determined as a ratio of activity at 37 °C/4 0C, 37 OC plus m—cresol/4 OC, and 37 OC plus m—cresol/37 °C. The s are set forth in Tables 11 and 12 below.

Summary of Results for F204P For mutant F204P, the results above of tested supernatant from transient transfection of CHO-S cells ted in the presence of ol in a bHA enzymatic activity assay showed that the F204P mutant protein was highly resistant to 0.4% m-cresol treatment. The results showed that the activity that remained after 4 hours incubation with 0.4% m-cresol at 37°C was approximately equal to the activity ed when the enzyme was incubated at either 4 0C or at 37 0C in the e of m-cresol. The ve control (WT PH20 — OHO) showed a reduction in activity of 75% and 83% on the day of the assay (as assayed from two different OHO transfections). This demonstrated that the F204P phenophile was able to retain 60% to 90% or greater of its activity above the residual activity of the wildtype PH20 control enzyme.
In order to confirm the ity of F204P upon m-cresol treatment or exposure to sed temperature, a second transfection of F204P was performed in duplicate using CHO-S cells, and clarified supernatant was again tested for its stability at 4 0C, at 37 0C for 4 hours with 0.4% m-cresol and at 37 0C for 4 hours without 0.4% m-cresol. The results confirmed that the F204P mutant enzyme retained a high amount of hyaluronidase activity after the 4 hour incubation in m-cresol at 37 OC. The results were similar to the results seen in the first screening of the mutant, with F204P retaining anywhere from 57% to greater than 90% of its activity above the residual activity of the wildtype PH20 control enzyme after the 4 hour incubation.
A summary of the enzyme activity of F204P compared to the pe control is set forth in Table 13.

Expression and Purification HZZ4-PH20-IRES-SEAP plasmid DNA ning cDNA encoding one of the variant PH20 was transfected into monolayer CHO-S cells as generally described in Example 2. CHO-S cells were cultured in shaker flasks using CD-CHO media supplemented with GlutaMAX (8 mM). On the day of transfection, 15 flasks were prepared of approximately 300 mL volume containing the CHO-S cells at an approximate density of 1.0 x 106 cells/mL.
Each 300 mL flask was transfected using 375 ug of plasmid DNA encoding the F204P mutant combined with 375 uL of yle MAX ection reagent. The transfected plasmid DNA had a sequence of tides set forth in SEQ ID NO:4 containing a codon change of TTC to CCT at tide ons 1733-1735, thereby encoding the F204P mutant. The transfected cells were then allowed to remain in culture for 96 hours, whereupon the cells and media were harvested and pooled. The cells were ed by centrifugation (4000 x g, 20’), and the supernatant retained for purification of the F204P protein (approximately 4.5 liters).
The crude supernatant was concentrated 10x using a 30 kDa Tangential flow filter (TFF) system (Millipore Pellicon XL, Bimax 30, 200 mL void volume; 50 cm2 filter surface area) until the volume was approximately 450 mL. The permeate was saved for assay to detect flow through of the F204P protein. A free-flow buffer exchange for the retentate was then performed using 4 liters of buffer (10 mM NaPO4; 25 mM NaCl, pH 7.2). The volume of the retentate was reduced again to imately 200 mL, and then the remaining permeate in the system was purged (void volume ~200 mL) and the system was flushed using approximately 50 mL of buffer to yield a final concentrated product of approximately 450 mL.
An anti-rHuPH20 affinity column was prepared by coupling antigen affinity purified Rabbit anti-rHuPH20 IgG to CNBr—activated Sepharose 4 Fast Flow (GEHealth catalog No. 1701). Briefly, 0.7 g of pre-activated Sepharose 4 powder was suspended in 1 mM HCl in a 10 mL glass column for 30 minutes to allow the powder to swell. The solution was drained from the column and washed with 15 gel volumes (about 30 mL) of cold 1 mM HCl by gravity. The column was washed with 5 gel volumens of ng buffer (0.1M NaHC03, 0.5M NaCl at pH 8.3). Next, 5 mg of Rabbit anti-rHuPH20 IgG at > 1.0 mg/mL in coupling buffer was added to the column at a protein/gel ratio of 2-3 mg/mL gel. The column was rotated head to head at 4 OC ght. The flow-through was collected for coupling efficiency determination. The gel was washed with 2 gel volumes of coupling buffer, and then washed and resuspended in 1 M ethanolaminine pH 9.5 for 2 hours at room temperature WO 02144 2012/072182 to block unused activated sites. The gel was washed 6 times with 5 gel volumes per wash alternating coupling buffer and 0.1 NaAc, 0.5M NaCl, pH 4.5. The gel was then washed with gel s of TBS (20 mM Tris-HCl, 0.15 M NaCl, pH 7.5). The coupling efficiency was determined (l-post-coupling protein concentration/pre-coupling protein concentration x 100%). The antibody coupled gel was stored in TBS with 0.02% NaN3 at 4 OC.
The concentrated supernatant product was subsequently loaded onto a anti-rHuPH20 affinity column at an approximate rate of 5 mL/min. The n was performed according to standard procedure using a GETM AKTA FPLC purification system (GE care, Product No. 0-26), whereby the protein was eluted via a low pH glycine wash (0.1 M glycine- HCl, pH 2.5) in 1 mL fractions. Each fraction was immediately neutralized by the addition of 100 ML of 1M Tris, pH 7.5.
The eluted protein was assayed by resolving n bands on a 4-20% SDS-PAGE gradient Tris-glycine gel. e®Plus2 Pre-stained MW standards (Life Teechnologies; Catalog No. ) were used as molecular weight standards, and 50 ng rHuPH20 (as described in Example 1) was used as a positive control. The polyacrylamide gel was stained with Instant Blue to show total n from each fraction. To confirm the bands on the gel are PH20, the gel was tranferred to a PVDF membrane (Invitrogen), which was subjected to Western Blot using a Rabbit anti-PH20 primary antibody generated by immunizing rabbits with rHuPH20 and an HRP—Goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody (Calbiochem, Cat. No.
DC03L).
Then, the flow-through from the initial loading of the affinity column was re-loaded onto the column twice due to the low capacity of the affinity column. All fractions containing the n were then combined resulting in a total volume that was approximately 13 mL.
This product was then dialyzed overnight versus four liters of buffer (10 mM NaPO4, 140 mM NaCl, pH 7.2) using a Slide-A-Lyzer Dialysis Cassette G2 (20,000 MWCO) with a 15 mL capacity. The buffer was then changed and the product dialyzed against a second fresh four liters of the same buffer. The F204P protein was then concentrated using an Amicon Ultra Centrifugation column (Millipore; 10,000 MWCO) to a final volume of approximately 450 uL (10 minutes at 4000 xg). 2. Characterization of Protein The purfied protein was characterized for its n concentration, activity, and purity.
To determine the protein concentration of the purified protein, a quantification ELISA was performed as bed in Example 7. Also, hyaluronidase activity was determined as described in Example 3. The protein concentration after centrifugation was WO 02144 PCT/US2012/072182 estimated to be approximately 400 ug/mL. The purified protein also was resolved on a 4- % SDS-PAGE nt Tris-glycine gel, which was then stained with Instant Blue. The staining results demonstrated that the protein was essentially a single molecular weight protein of approximately 63 kDa, similar to the rHuPH2O control. No appreciable degradative products were detected by this method. Approximate yields of the protein at various timepoints and activity during the purification are described in Table 14.

EXAMPLE 7 QUANTIFICATION USING ELISA The fication of PH2O or variants were performed using an ELISA that captures the protein using a monoclonal anti-rHuPH2O e antibody. Specifically, one day prior to ming the ELISA, 96-well 4HBX plates were coated with capture antibody (Protein G purified rabbit polyclonal anti-PH2O antibody generated by immunizing rabbits with rHuPH20; 1 mg/mL stock) at l ug/mL in 100 mM phosphate (pH 7.2) in a total volume of 100 uL per well. The plates were stored at 4 oC overnight. On the next day, the plates were washed 5x with leBS at 300 uL/well with a plate washer. After each wash, the plated were patted dry on paper towels. Then, the plates were blocked with 200 uL PBS containing Tween 20 (leBST) per well at room temperature for 1 hour.
The standards and samples were added to the plate. For generation of the standard, a 1 mg/mL stock of rHuPH2O (Example 1) was freshly d to 50 ug/mL in HEPES pH 7.4 assay buffer as an intermediate stock. Then, for the standards, the 50 ug/mL stock was diluted in duplicates into 360 uL of 0.5xPBST at 300 ng/mL for the first standard (first row).
WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 —324— For the other standard rows, 240 uL 0.5XPBST were added to each well, and 1:3 serial dilutions made. For the transfected atant samples, 360 uL per well was added in duplicate into the first row, and each were also serially diluted as described above into 0.5x PBST. For purified samples, 100 uL was added per well. The plates were incubated for 2 hours at room temperature. After incubation, the plates were washed 5X with 1XPBST at 300 l using a plate washer. After each wash, the plates were patted dry on paper towels.
An HRP-conjugated anti-PH20 antibody was prepared for detection using an HRP conjugation kit (Pierce, Thermo-Fisher; Catlog No. 31489). 1 mg of a Protein G d rabbit polyclonal antibody generated by immunizing rabbits with rHuPH20 was d in 1 mL PBS and 1 mL of 2 X carbonate kit buffer. Next, 100 uL of peroxidase were added to 1 mL of the above antibody solution and incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. Then, 10 uL NaBH4 stock was added in a fume hood, and the sample incubated at room temperature for 20 minutes. To quench the reaction, 20 uL of ethanolamine was added and incubated at room temperature for 15 minutes. To this, 1/25 volume 5% human serum albumin (0.1 mL syringe) was added to give a 2 mg/mL albumin stock reaction. The pH was adjusted to about 7.9 by addition of 250 uL of 1 M Tris pH 7.4. The concentration of the stock was 400 ug/mL. The stock solution was further diluted 1/10 in PBS Tween20 (0.05%) containing 0.5% human serum albumin and preservatives, and then was sterile filtered. The stock was stored at 4 0C or was frozen at -20 OC.
Antibodies were detecting using the HRP-conjugated anti-PH20 antibody that was diluted 1000X into 0.5x PBST. 100 uL of the diluted antibody was added to all wells of the plate and the plate incubated for a further 2 hours at room temperature. After incubation, the plates were washed 5X with 1XPBST at 300 uL/well using a plate washer. After each wash, the plates were patted dry on paper towels. Then, 100 "L of TMB substrate were added to each well and the reaction was stopped after 5-10 minutes by adding 100 uL of stop solution per well. The plate was read at OD450.
EXAMPLE 8 DETERMINATION OF ENZYMATIC ACTIVITY OF PH20 Enzymatic activity of PH20 in samples such as cell cultures, purification ons and d ons was determined using a turbidimetric assay, which is based on the ion of an ble precipitate when hyaluronic acid binds with cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC). The activity is measured by incubating PH20 with hyaluronan for a set period of time (30 minutes) and then precipitating the undigested hyaluronan with the addition of WO 02144 PCT/US2012/072182 CDC. The turbidity of the resulting sample is measured at 640 nm. The decrease in turbidity ing from enzyme activity on the hyaluronan ate is a e of the PH20 enzymatic actiVity. The method is run using a ation curve generated with dilutions of a PH20 assay working reference rd (rHuPH20 standard generated as described in Example 1), and sample actiVity measurements are made relative to this ation curve.
Dilutions of the sample and standards were prepared in Enzyme Diluent Solution (70 mM NaCl, 0.1% human serum albumin [HSA], 0.67 g/L gelatin hydrolysate in 25 mM PIPES buffer, pH 5.5). The samples were diluted to an appropriate concentration. Hyaluronic acid (HA, average MW of 20 — 50 kDa) from Lifecore Biomedical (Chaska, MN) also was prepared at 1 mg/mL in substrate solution that contains 25 mM PIPES, 70 mM NaCl at pH .5. Equal amounts of the above two solutions were mixed to prepare a 1 mL reaction mixture and incubated at 37 0C for 30 min. The reaction was stopped by on of 4 mL of Cetylpyridinium de Solution (CPC, 5.0 mg/mL). After brief vortexing, the turbidity of the sample mixture was read at 640 nm and the actiVity was determined by fitting against a standard curve. Specific activity (Units/mg) was ated by dividing the enzyme ty (U/mL) by the protein concentration (mg/mL).
EXAMPLE 9 STABILITY OF F204P-PH20 VARIANT IN VATIVE To confirm the screening results, an amount estimated to be about 450 U/mL of the purified F204P protein as described in Example 6 was formulated in 10 mM sodium phosphate, pH 6.5, 120 mM NaCl, 10 mM methionine, 0.01% Pluronic F-68, 0.1% phenol and 0.15% m—cresol. A test article that also contained an amount estimated to be about 450 U/mL wild type rHuPH20 (generated as described in Example 1) in the same formulation was also prepared to serve as a control. Each formulation solution was aliquotted in 0.5 mL and filled into 2 mL USP Type I borosilicate glass with a chlorobutyl rubber stopper and an aluminum seal. The Vials were incubated at 5 0C, 30 0C or 37 °C. Samples were withdrawn from the incubator at various times and enzymatic activity was measured as described in Example 8.
The results of the enzymatic actiVity measurements are shown in Table 15. As can be seen, the rHuPH20 wild type control showed a rapid decrease in actiVity when incubated at 37 0C in the presence of phenolic preservatives. In contrast, the F204P mutant showed no significant loss in actiVity throughout the study. The results also show that actiVity of PH20 is ed after incubation for up to 4 weeks at 5 oC and 30 oC compared to the ty of the rHuPH20 wildtype control not containing the mutation. These results confirm that F204P WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 tolerates EPB level of preservative (0.1% phenol and 0.15% m—cresol) and is stable at 37 0C for at least up to 6 days at at 5 oC and 30 0C for greater than one month.

In the tested coformulations, the insulin lispro was a commercial product (Insulin Lispro: Eli Lilly Humalog® (insulin Lispro) 100 U/mL, Lot AS72364).
In the tested coformulations, the insulin aspart analog was a reprocessed aspart prepared by pooling 12 vials (10 mL each) of a commercial product (Insulin Aspart: Novo Nordisk, NovoRapid® (insulin Aspart), Lot XS60195), which was then concentrated using an Amicon el-10 K column concentrator until the final tration was about 5 times the original concentration. The insulin analog was precipitated by addition of 1 M sodium acetate, pH 5.3 and 30 mM zinc chloride (Zl’lClg, EMD, Cat No. -1) at 1/10 ofthe protein solution volume. The solution was placed on ice for 30 minutes followed by fugation at 5600 rpm for 20 minutes in an Avanti J-E Centrifuge with JS-5.3 swinging bucket rotor (Beckman Coulter). The supernatant was decanted and the pellet was resuspended and washed with 20 mM sodium acetate, 2 mM zinc chloride, pH 5.5 solution.
The resuspended on was centrifuged as described above. The washing step was repeated a total of 5 times. A final wash was performed with 20 mM sodium acetate, pH 5 .5 to remove all traces of zinc chloride. The resulting protein paste was ved with water containing 20 mM HCl. After complete dissolution, 250 mM Tris, pH 10.7 was added to a final Tris concentration of 20 mM. The pH of the resulting solution was adjusted such that the insulin analog was formulated as bed below and the protein concentration was adjusted to about 15-20 mg/mL. An insulin analog ed in this way typically had a yield of about 90%, with a residual preservative tration at less than 100 times the starting material.
WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 Briefly, three (3) ations were generated each containing 600 Units (U) of PH20-F204P or wildtype rHuPH20 ated as described in Example 1) for a total of 6 formulations as set forth in Table 16: TABLE 16: Summar of Insulin Formulations Tonic1ty Buffer Anti-OX Metal Surfactant Preservatives API modifier Tris/H Methioni Glyceri PH20 Analog NaCl Zn Cl ne n (mg/mL) 0. 315% 3.5 0.315% 3.5 0.010% 0.150% 3.5 0.010% 0.150% 3.5 0.010% 0.315% 3.5 0.010% 0.315% 3.5 Each formulation solution was dispensed in 0.5 mL aliquots into 2 mL USP Type I borosilicate glass vials with a chlorobutyl rubber stopper and an um seal. The vials were incubated at 5 0C, 30 OC and 37 °C. Samples were withdrawn from the incubator at scheduled time points for enzymatic actiVity measurements as described in Example 8.
The results of the enzymatic actiVity ements for samples incubated at 37 0C, 30 OC and 5 0C are shown in Tables 17-19, tively. At 37 0C, the enzymatic activity of samples containing wildtype rHuPH20 (F2, F4 and F6) were almost totally lost within two days of incubation. In contrast, after 6 days incubation at 37 OC, formulation F3 and F5, which contains PH20-F204P, lost only about 10% and 30%, respectively. The PH20-F204P formulated in commercial g (F1) lost most of its ty within 2 days at 37 oC most likely due to the lack ofNaCl in the formulation.
A similar trend for enzymatic activities of es incubated at 30 0C was noted between the PH20-F204P and rHuPH20. For formulations that contain an EPA preservative level, the differences between wild type and F204P were dramatic (Table 17; F1 and F5 vs.
F2 and F6). When the preservative concentration was reduced to an EPB level (F3 and F4), the F204P still outperformed wildtype rHuPH20, although there was slighly higher rHuPH20 stability compared to EPA conditions. In both EPA and EPB vative levels, PH20- F204P was able to in its actiVity up to 14 days at 30 oC when 100 mM ofNaCl was included in the formulation.

Stability of V58R—PH20 The PH20 variant V58R was expressed in CHO-S cells as bed in Example 2 or Example 6. The transfected plasmid DNA had a sequence of nucleotides set forth in SEQ ID NO:4 containing a codon change of GTG to CGG at nucleotide ons 1295-1297, thereby encoding the V58R mutant. The V58R mutant was tested for its stability in a coformulation containing insulin aspart ( insulin aspart analog prepared as described in Example 10) and under EPA or EPB preservative levels. Briefly, four (4) formulations were generated each WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 containing 600 Units (U) of PH20-V58R or wildtype 0 (generated as described in Example 1) as set forth in Table 20. Formulations F1 and F2 represent the EPB preservative levels while formulations F3 and F4 represent the EPA preservative levels.

The results of the enzymatic actiVity measurements for samples incubated at 37 0C and 30 0C are shown in Table 21 and Table 22. At 37 0C, the enzymatic actiVity of samples ning wildtype rHuPH20 (F2 and F4) were almost totally lost within two days of incubation. In st, after 6 days tion at 37 OC, ations F1 (EPB) and F3 (EPA), containing V58R-PH20, lost only about 25% and 40% activity, respectively. At 0C, the enzymatic actiVity of samples containing wildtype rHuPH20 also was dramatically reduced in the presence of EPA or EPB preservatives levels within one month of incubation, although there was a slighlty less dramatic loss in actiVity in the presence of EPB preservative levels. In constrast, for V58R-PH20, there was no loss of enzymatic actiVity for either tested formulation up to 1 month.

The Vials were ted at 30 OC and 37 °C. Samples were withdrawn from the incubator at led time points for enzymatic activity measures as described in Example 8.
The results show that the percentage hyaluronidase activity in the tested formulations after preincubation at 37 °C was ly r for both PH20 mutants when formulated in EPB and not EPA preservative levels. While the t of actiVity remaining was greater than 80% for both tested mutants after 6 days incubation in formulations containing EPB vative , it was less in the presence of EPA preservative levels. For example, the actiVity remaining at 6 days in EPA preservative levels was slightly less than 80% after 6 days for F204P-PH20, while it was only about 40% for V58R-PH20. Hence, the results also show that at 37 °C, V58R-PH20 is somewhat less stable than the F204P-PH20, in particular in a formulation with EPA preservative levels. Aftter incubation at 30 °C for at least a week, the F204P-PH20 and H20 were stable and exhibited almost 100% initial actiVity in the presence of both EPA and EPB vative levels. In contrast, 0 exhibited only about 40% of its initial actiVity after 4 weeks at 30 °C in the presence of EPB preservative levels, while it exhibited no detectable actiVity after 4 weeks at 30 °C in the presence of EPA preservative levels.
E 12 EXPRESSION OF F204P-PH20 USING A LENTIVIRUS EXPRESSION VECTOR A lentiVirus expression vector, pLV-EFl a-PH20(F204P)-IRES-GFP-Bsd was generated containing a codon-optimized mutant hyaluronidase cDNA encoding F204P-PH20.
The sequence of pLV-EFla-PH20(F204P)-IRES-GFP-Bsd is set forth in SEQ ID .
The pLV-EFla-PH20(F204P)-IRES-GFP-Bsd vector contains an ampicillin resistance gene (AmpR) located at nucleotides 471, an EFla promoter at residues 1933 to 2327, an IRES at residues 4786-5370, a GFP-Bsd at residues 5394-6527 and nucleotides encoding F204P-PH20 at residues 3369-4781.
LentiVirus was produced as described in Bandaranayake et al. ((2011) Nucleic Acids Research, 39:e143). Briefly, 293T cells (ATCC) were plated at 6 x 106 cells onto 10 cm tissue culture plates. After 24 hours, 6 ug of psPAX2 (SEQ ID NO:926; Addgene plasmid No. 12260), 3 ug of PMD2.G (SEQ ID NO:927; e plasmid #12259) and 9 ug lentiViral vector plasmid pLV-EFla-PH20(F204P)-IRES-GFP-Bsd were mixed in 1.5 mL Opti-MEM (Life Technologies). 45 uL of Lipofectamine 2000 (LF2000; Life Technologies) were diluted into 1.5 mL Opti-MEM (Life Technologies). The DNA and LF2000 were mixed gently, and WO 2013/102144 PCT/US2012/072182 incubated at room temperature for 20 minutes to allow the DNA and lipid to form complexes.
In the meantime, the overnight culture medium was ed with 5.0 mL DMEM + 10% FBS without antibiotics. A volume of 3.0 mL ning the DNA-LF2000 complexes were added to the 293T cells. The medium containing the DNA-LF2000 complexes was replaced with 10 mL complete medium at 12-16 hours post-transfection. The supernatant was collected at 48 hours post-transfection and the medium was transferred to a polypropylene e tube. The virus-containing medium was spun at 1300 rpm for 5 minutes to pellet any 293T cells that were carried over during collection. The supernatant was carefully transferred to a e polypropylene storage tube.
CHO-S cells (Invitrogen) were grown in CHO-S media (Invitrogen) with shaking at 120 rpm at 37 °C and 5% C02 in vented 125-mL shake flasks (Nalgene). For transduction, CHO-S cells were added to wells of a six-well plate at 2 X 106 cells per well in 2 ml of CHO-S media containing 4 ug/mL hexadimethrine bromide at a final concentration of 4 ug/mL (Polybrene; SIGMA). Virus was added to each well at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 10 and the cells were ted with shaking (120 rpm) at 37 °C and 5% C02 for 6 hours.
The cells were then harvested and pelleted by low speed centrifugation (500 x g, 5 min). The transduction medium was removed and replaced with 10 mL of fresh CHO-S medium (Invitrogen) supplemented with GlutaMax (50 mL/liter) and erred to a T-25 flask.
Three days post infection, blasticidin (Invitrogen) was added to the growth medium at a concentration of 1 ug/mL. The medium was changed regularly at 3-4 day intervals, and the cells were transferred to a T75 flask for ion. Two weeks after the initial ion, the cells were ed to shaker flasks and maintained in culture using medium containing 1 ug/mL blasticidin. F204P-PH20 n secreted into the CHO-S medium was collected and purified by affinity chromatography using an anti-rHuPH20 affinity column as described in Example 6. The n was prepared in standard API buffer (10 mM Histidine, 130 mM NaCl, pH 6.5).
EXAMPLE 13 ANALYSIS OF SECONDARY STRUCTURE AND MELTING TEMPERATURE The secondary structure and melting temperature of the PH20 variant F204P was tested and compared to wild-type rHuPH20 (generated as described in Example 1) to further assess stability of the variant. The secondary structure was tested by circular dichroism.

Sample Preparation and Measurement Two hundred (200) uL of a 0.1 mg.mL protein sample diluted in Mcllvaine’s buffer (Mcllvaine (1921) JBC 49:183) adjusted to pH 6.5 were prepared. A series of samples of the F204P variant were also generated that varied in pH by ment using Mcllvaine’s buffer to a pH range from 5.0 to 7.5 as set forth in Table 25. In addition, samples also were generated by adjusting the NaCl concentration to 17.5 mM to 140 mM as set forth in Table 26. Samples were d using a 0.2 um syringe filter prior to measurement. Similar s were generated for rHuPH20. Then, 200 uL samples were transferred to a rectangular cuvetted having a 1 mm width and seated on Jasco J-810 spectropolarimeter. CD spectra of the samples were collected under the conditions described in Table 20. The melting temperature (Tm) was calculated using Spectra Manager (V 1.5, Jasco) from the CD spectral ity measured at the temperature range from 30 °C to 75 °C. The es were cleaned by rge® cleaner (C577-12, Fisher scientific) between individual sample loading and after the run.

Results The results showthat the secondary structure'of F204P is similar to rHuPH20. As a function of temperature, circular dichroism showed that a change in the absorption was ed with increasing temperatures. As a on of pH, the Tm distribution was closely comparable for both F204P and O and the highest'Tm for each was obtained between pH .5 :5 and pH .60 The results, however, showed that Tm of the '-F204P variant was approximately 9 °C higher at all tested ranges than wildtype rHuPHZO. This result indicated that the F204P mutant is more stable t thermm stress conditions. As a function of salt, "the s showthat the F204P and wildtype rHuPH20 both exhibited an increasingT.m with higher salt concentration, showing that'both have a proportional inclination toward .salt concentration.

The ability to increase the area of dye dispersion was ependent, with both proteins having greatest activity at 500 U/mL. The s also showed that the area of dye dispersion increased with time post-intradermal injection. The areas of dye sion of rHuPHZO and F204P-PH20 were significantly greater than the areas of dye dispersion for the controls ) at all time points when formulated at all concentrations (5, 50 and 500 U/mL) with the exception of rHuPHZO at the lowest concentration (5 U/mL). When compared to each other, rHuPHZO and F204P-PH20 showed similar dispersion effects, gh there was a significant difference in dispersion between the two groups at 5 U/mL and 500 U/mL but not at 50 U/mL. In sum, the results show that both rHuPHZO and F204P-PH20 ed a statistically significant increase in the area of dye dispersion compared to the vehicle control.

Blood samples were obtained from animals 1 minute, 5 minutes and 10 minutes post—administration. Blood samples were obtained by terminal bleed (cardiac puncture) and collected into blood collection tubes containing the anti-coagulant EDTA for the preparation of plasma. Blood samples were centrifuged at 500 g for 10 minutes and the plasma removed and frozen at -80° C until assessment of hyaluronidase activity using the microturbidity assay described in Example 8.
The results are set forth in Table 32. The results show that hyaluronidase activity is not detected in plasma prior to treatment with the onidase. Within 1 minute post- treatment with either rHuPH20 or F204P—PH20 hyaluronidase, there is a ably high amount of hyaluronidase ty t in the plasma, which is similar between both treatment groups. Over time, the hyaluronidase activity rapidly decreases for both treatment groups, although there is ably hyaluronidase activity t in the plasma 10 minutes post-administration. At the 5 minute and 10 minute post-administration time points, ty in the plasma in animals treated with F204P-PH20 is greater than in animals treated with rHuPHZO. This shows that F204P—PH20 exhibits somewhat greater activity for a prolonged time period, and therefore exhibits r ife in vivo than rHuPHZO.
