納米緩釋型CO供體SMA-CORM2通過(guò)調(diào)控巨噬細(xì)胞重編程緩解博來(lái)霉素誘導(dǎo)的肺纖維化

納米緩釋型CO供體SMA-CORM2通過(guò)調(diào)控巨噬細(xì)胞重編程緩解博來(lái)霉素誘導(dǎo)的肺纖維化摘要：

博來(lái)霉素（Bleomycin，BLM）是一種臨床廣泛應(yīng)用的化療藥物，主要用于肺癌、淋巴瘤等惡性腫瘤的治療。然而，它也會(huì)導(dǎo)致肺纖維化（Pulmonaryfibrosis，PF）的發(fā)生，其具體機(jī)制尚不清楚。本研究旨在評(píng)估納米緩釋型CO供體SMA/CORM2（SMA/CORM2）通過(guò)調(diào)節(jié)巨噬細(xì)胞（Macrophage，Mφ）重編程的作用是否可以緩解BLM誘導(dǎo)的PF。

我們通過(guò)對(duì)小鼠進(jìn)行肺損傷模型的建立，得出了以下結(jié)果：SMA/CORM2治療組相較于對(duì)照組，能夠顯著減輕BLM誘導(dǎo)的肺纖維化癥狀，包括肺組織的非正常增生、纖維化和肺功能障礙。同時(shí)，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)在SMA/CORM2治療組中，膜結(jié)合型TGF-βRII（membrane-boundTGF-βRII）的表達(dá)顯著下調(diào)，同時(shí)M1型巨噬細(xì)胞的數(shù)量增加，M2型巨噬細(xì)胞的數(shù)量減少。此外，SMA/CORM2還能夠下調(diào)轉(zhuǎn)錄因子RUNX1T1的表達(dá)。

這項(xiàng)研究表明，SMA/CORM2可以通過(guò)調(diào)節(jié)Mφ的重編程，抑制BLM誘導(dǎo)的PF的發(fā)生。這一作用可能涉及到membrane-boundTGF-βRII、M1型和M2型巨噬細(xì)胞的平衡，以及RUNX1T1的抑制。這些發(fā)現(xiàn)可以為臨床治療PF提供新思路。
