Cell deletion approaches to pain directed at either the primary nociceptive afferents or second order neurons are highly effective analgesic manipulations. Second order spinal neurons expressing the neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptor are required for the perception of many types of pain. To delete NK1+ neurons for the purpose of pain control, we generated a toxin-peptide conjugate using DTNB-derivatized (Cys(0))-substance P (SP) and a N-terminally truncated Pseudomonas exotoxin (PE35) that retains the endosome-release and ADP-ribosylation enzymatic domains but with only one free sulfhydryl side chain for conjugation. This allowed generation of a one-to-one product linked by a disulfide bond (SP-PE35). In vitro, CHO cells stably transfected with the NK1 receptor exhibited specific cytotoxicity when exposed to SP-PE35 (IC50 = 5 x 10(-11) M), whereas the conjugate was non-toxic to NK2 and NK3 receptor-bearing cell lines. In vivo studies showed that, after infusion into the spinal subarachnoid space, the toxin was extremely effective in deleting NK1 receptor-expressing cells from the dorsal horn of the spinal cord. The specific cell deletion robustly attenuated thermal and mechanical pain sensations, and inflammatory hyperalgesia but did not affect motoric capabilities. NK1 receptor cell deletion and anti-nociception occurred without obvious lesion of non-receptor-expressing cells or apparent reorganization of primary afferent innervation. These data demonstrate the extraordinary selectivity and broad-spectrum anti-nociceptive efficacy of this ligand-directed protein therapeutic acting via receptor-mediated endocytosis. The loss of multiple pain modalities including heat and mechanical pinch, transduced by different populations of primary afferents, shows that spinal NK1 receptor-expressing neurons are critical points of convergence in the nociceptive transmission circuit. We further suggest that therapeutic endpoints can be effectively and safely achieved when SP-PE35 is locally infused thereby producing a regionally-defined analgesia.
