Description

Application of water-soluble vitamin E in treating lung injury and pulmonary fibrosis
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of medicines, in particular to application of water-soluble vitamin E in preparing a medicine for preventing and/or treating lung injury and pulmonary fibrosis.
Background
The respiratory system is susceptible to various viral, bacterial infections and physicochemical injuries due to its physiological nature of exchanging gases with the outside world, thereby causing acute lung injury (Acute lung injury, ALI) and its severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (Acute respiratory distress syndrome, ARDS). ALI and ARDS pathological features are alveolar capillary, endothelial and alveolar epithelial cell injury, manifested by extensive pulmonary edema, micro-atelectasis, increased intra-pulmonary shunt and decreased lung compliance. Currently, for ALI, the treatment of ARDS mainly adopts glucocorticoid and respiratory machine auxiliary treatment, but sequelae such as diabetes, hypertension, femoral head necrosis and the like appear after many patients are healed, and the quality of life is seriously affected. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find drugs that are safe and effective in preventing and/or treating lung injury.
Pulmonary fibrosis (Pulmonary fibrosis, PF) is the end stage of all interstitial lung diseases (Interstitial lung Disease, ILD). PF is caused by various causes, and is mainly characterized by the aggregation of inflammatory cells such as macrophages, neutrophils and lymphocytes in alveoli and the accumulation of fibrous connective tissue in lung tissues, which finally results in the change of the lung tissue structure, the damage of the lung function and respiratory failure. In recent years, the incidence and mortality of pulmonary fibrosis have tended to rise year by year due to environmental and lifestyle factors.
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, IPF) is a relatively common type of PF, a chronic, progressive, interstitial fibrotic pulmonary disease. It is characterized in that the recurrent epithelial cell injury caused by unknown reasons, the aging of the alveolar epithelial cells, the aggregation of a fibrosis promoting medium and the like lead to the formation of progressive lung tissue scar. IPF patients have a survival period of only 2-6 years, typically 3 years, after diagnosis. Pirfenidone and nidanib were approved by the FDA in 2014 for IPF treatment, but it is also only possible to delay disease progression, and it is not known whether prolongation of survival can be achieved. Therefore, it is also important to find a safe and effective drug for preventing and/or treating the occurrence and development of pulmonary fibrosis.
Galectin-3 (Galectin-3) is a beta-galactoside binding lectin, often in homodimeric form, expressed mainly in tumor cells, macrophages, epithelial cells, fibroblasts and activated T cells. Are important in many biological activities of various organs, including cell proliferation, apoptosis regulation, inflammation, fibrosis, host defense, and the like. Galectin-3 is mainly present in cytoplasm, is expressed on cell nucleus and cell surface, and can be directly secreted into biological fluid such as serum, urine and tissue fluid by small bubbles. Many studies have shown that Galectin-3 can be an important biomarker for diagnosis or prognosis of myocardial fibrosis, kidney fibrosis, lung fibrosis, viral infection, autoimmune diseases, neurodegenerative diseases and neoplasia.
Therefore, inhibition of Galectin3 may be an effective scheme for preventing and/or treating lung injury and pulmonary fibrosis related diseases.

TABLE 2 grouping of lung injury models and dosing regimen
Figure BDA0003345103470000081
Animal administration and material drawing:
after model and dosing feeding for 48 hours, fasted overnight, the next day, tribromoethanol anesthetized mice, and the alveolar lavage fluid of the mice was collected and the wet weight of the right middle lobe of the lung was weighed; placing the middle right lung leaf in a 60 ℃ constant temperature oven, baking for 48, weighing to obtain the dry weight of the middle right lung leaf, and calculating the lung wet weight ratio; the left large leaf of the lung is used for hydroxyproline determination; the upper right leaf of the lung is used for detecting relevant cytokines; lower right lung lobes were fixed, stained with HE and Masson. HE staining observed pathological morphology with simultaneous lung tissue fibrosis scoring. Pulmonary fibrosis grading scoring criteria: 0, occasional small increases in alveolar septum; no clear fibrosis was seen. 1, alveolar wall mild fibrous hyperplasia or bronchiolar wall mild fibrous hyperplasia. 2, the medium fibrous tissue hyperplasia of the alveoli wall or the medium fibrous tissue hyperplasia of the bronchiole wall does not occur the destruction of the lung tissue structure. 3, the medium fibrous tissue hyperplasia of the alveolar wall or the medium fibrous tissue hyperplasia of the bronchiole wall, a large amount of neutrophils and lymphocytes infiltrate, and the damage of the lung tissue structure is not seen. 4, small focal fibrous tissue hyperplasia accompanied by slight destruction of lung tissue structure. 5, focal fibrous tissue is obviously proliferated, the lung tissue structure is obviously destroyed, and fiber bundles are formed. And 6, carrying out platy fibrous tissue proliferation with serious damage to the pulmonary tissue structure. 7, diffuse vitamin tissue hyperplasia accompanied by serious destruction of lung tissue structure and formation of honeycomb lung. 8, obvious lung-excess changes. Masson staining selected 2 areas under 200-fold microscope to take pictures. Tissue area, fibrous tissue area and integrated absorbance (IOD) of fibrosis were measured using Image-Pro Plus 7.2 Image analysis software. The degree of fibrosis of the lung tissue and the average optical density of the fibrous tissue in each picture were calculated.
The statistical method comprises the following steps:
data are expressed as mean.+ -. Standard deviation (mean.+ -. SD), single-factor analysis of variance is used between groups, and p < 0.05 is statistically different. * Representing two corresponding groups of p < 0.05; * Representing that the corresponding two groups p < 0.01.
3. Experimental results:
(1) Effect of water-soluble vitamin E on physiological status of lung injury model mice:
cage side observations found that the model group showed symptoms of irritability, increased activity, shortness of breath, etc. from day 1, while the water-soluble vitamin E group and dexamethasone group were significantly lighter in symptoms than the model group. Body weight was monitored and mice significantly reduced after the model compared to sham-operated groups, but there was no significant difference between the water-soluble vitamin E group and dexamethasone group compared to the model group, and the results are shown in fig. 1.
(2) Effect of water-soluble vitamin E on respiratory inflammation in mice model of lung injury:
the wet/dry weight ratio of lung tissue may reflect the degree of lung tissue inflammation and edema. Protein exudation in alveolar lavage fluid reflects lung tissue inflammation and permeability. As can be seen from table 3, the lung wet weight/dry weight ratio and protein exudation were significantly increased in the mice of the model group compared to the sham group; and both water-soluble vitamin E and dexamethasone can obviously reduce the wet weight/dry weight ratio of lung and protein exudation.
TABLE 3 influence on pulmonary edema in lung injury models
Figure BDA0003345103470000091
In addition, the determination of key cytokines associated with inflammatory responses of lung tissue can more clearly describe the inflammatory response of the body caused by lipopolysaccharide. The results in FIG. 2 show that lipopolysaccharide results in significant increases in the expression levels of IL-1 beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha mRNA in lung tissue, while both water-soluble vitamin E and dexamethasone significantly reduce the expression levels of IL-1 beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha mRNA.
The results show that both water-soluble vitamin E and dexamethasone can significantly improve lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory response of lung tissue.
(3) Effect of Water-soluble vitamin E on pulmonary fibrosis in mice model of pulmonary injury
When the lung is fibrosed, the main components in the lung are collagen fibers, and the hydroxyproline is special for the collagen fibers, so that the content of the hydroxyproline in the lung can be measured, and the collagen content of the lung tissue can be reflected, and further the fibrosis degree of the lung tissue can be reflected. The results in table 4 show that the hydroxyproline content in the lung tissue of mice in the model group is significantly increased compared to the sham surgery group; and the water-soluble vitamin E or dexamethasone can obviously reduce the hydroxyproline content of the lung tissue of the mice.
To visually examine the morphological changes of the lung tissue of the mice, HE staining was performed on the lung tissue, and as can be seen from fig. 3A, the morphological structure of the lung tissue of the sham surgery group was not significantly changed; the model group lung tissue is widely fibrosed, locally becomes solid, is diffusely infiltrated by a large number of lymphocytes and neutrophils, the residual alveoli are slightly expanded, the whole lung tissue is cellular, the epithelium of the local alveoli is obviously atrophic and disappears, and the lung tissue structure is seriously destroyed; the above pathological changes of the water-soluble vitamin E group and dexamethasone group are obviously improved, but the pathological changes are also obviously different from those of the false operation group. Performing fibrosis scoring with reference to a pulmonary fibrosis grading scoring criteria, wherein the model group mice have significantly increased fibrosis scores compared to the sham surgery group; compared with the model group, the water-soluble vitamin E and dexamethasone can obviously reduce the pulmonary fibrosis score, and the results are shown in Table 4.
Masson staining can measure the fibrous tissue area and the integrated absorbance of fibrosis, reflecting the degree of fibrosis in lung tissue and the degree of dense fibrous tissue proliferation. Fig. 3B is a set of typical Masson-stained pictures taken. From fig. 3B, it can be seen that the lung tissue of sham mice contains a small amount of collagen fibers, which are the major components of the extracellular matrix; the collagen fibers of mice in the model group are obviously increased, the density degree of fibrous tissue hyperplasia is obviously increased, and typical pulmonary interstitial fibrosis occurs; pulmonary interstitial fibrosis changes also occurred in the water-soluble vitamin E group and the dexamethasone group, but the areas of collagen fibers and the density of fibrous tissue hyperplasia of the lung tissues of the water-soluble vitamin E group and the dexamethasone group were reduced compared with the model group. From the quantification results in table 4, both water-soluble vitamin E and dexamethasone significantly reduced the fibrosis area and fibrosis density compared to the model group.
TABLE 4 effects on pulmonary fibrosis in lung injury models
Figure BDA0003345103470000101
The above results indicate that both water-soluble vitamin E and dexamethasone significantly improve lipopolysaccharide-induced pulmonary fibrosis.

Animal material selection:
model and dosing 21 days later, the mice were fasted overnight, the mice were anesthetized with tribromoethanol, the pulmonary function was examined, the lung weights were weighed, and the lung index was calculated (lung index = lung weight (g)/body weight (g) ×100%); the left large leaf of the lung is used for hydroxyproline determination; the upper right leaf of the lung is used for detecting relevant cytokines; lower right lung lobes were fixed, stained with HE and Masson. HE staining observed pathological morphology with simultaneous lung tissue fibrosis scoring. Pulmonary fibrosis grading scoring criteria: 0, occasional small increases in alveolar septum; no clear fibrosis was seen. 1, alveolar wall mild fibrous hyperplasia or bronchiolar wall mild fibrous hyperplasia. 2, the medium fibrous tissue hyperplasia of the alveoli wall or the medium fibrous tissue hyperplasia of the bronchiole wall does not occur the destruction of the lung tissue structure. 3, the medium fibrous tissue hyperplasia of the alveolar wall or the medium fibrous tissue hyperplasia of the bronchiole wall, a large amount of neutrophils and lymphocytes infiltrate, and the damage of the lung tissue structure is not seen. 4, small focal fibrous tissue hyperplasia accompanied by slight destruction of lung tissue structure. 5, focal fibrous tissue is obviously proliferated, the lung tissue structure is obviously destroyed, and fiber bundles are formed. And 6, carrying out platy fibrous tissue proliferation with serious damage to the pulmonary tissue structure. 7, diffuse vitamin tissue hyperplasia accompanied by serious destruction of lung tissue structure and formation of honeycomb lung. 8, obvious lung-excess changes. Masson staining selected 2 areas under 200-fold microscope to take pictures. Tissue area, fibrous tissue area and integrated absorbance (IOD) of fibrosis were measured using Image-Pro Plus 7.2 Image analysis software. The degree of fibrosis of the lung tissue and the average optical density of the fibrous tissue in each picture were calculated.
The statistical method comprises the following steps:
data are expressed as mean.+ -. Standard deviation (mean.+ -. SD), single-factor analysis of variance is used between groups, and p < 0.05 is statistically different. * Representing two corresponding groups of p < 0.05; * Representing that the corresponding two groups p < 0.01.
3. Experimental results:
(1) Effect of Water-soluble vitamin E on physiological State of Lung fibrosis model mice
Cage side observation shows that the model group mice show symptoms such as hair color difference, hair frying, irritability, activity increase, shortness of breath and the like from the 5 th day; the dexamethasone and water-soluble vitamin E groups were significantly less symptomatic than the model group. Monitoring the weight of the mice, and finding that the weight of the mice is obviously reduced after molding, and the mice start to have an ascending trend after 6 days; the dexamethasone group weight is reduced more obviously; while the water-soluble vitamin E group was not significantly different from the model group, the results are shown in fig. 4. The survival rate was counted, as shown in table 6, and at 21 days, the survival rate of the sham operation group was 100%, the survival rate of the model group was 75%, the survival rate of the water-soluble vitamin E group was 75%, and the survival rate of the dexamethasone group was 66.66%.

(2) Effect of Water-soluble vitamin E on respiratory function in Lung fibrosis model mice
The respiratory system function of the mice is detected by using a Flexvent small animal lung function system. The impaired respiratory function of the mice is judged by respiratory resistance (Rrs), respiratory elasticity (Ers) and respiratory compliance (Crs).
As can be seen from table 7, bleomycin can induce significant impairment of respiratory function in mice, manifested by significant increases in respiratory resistance and respiratory elasticity and significant decreases in respiratory compliance; the water-soluble vitamin E and dexamethasone can obviously improve the indexes, and the respiratory resistance is close to the level of a false operation group. The results show that both the water-soluble vitamin E and dexamethasone can significantly improve bleomycin-induced respiratory function injury of mice.
TABLE 7 influence on pulmonary fibrosis model pulmonary function
Figure BDA0003345103470000131
The above results indicate that water-soluble vitamin E can significantly improve bleomycin-induced respiratory function impairment in mice.
(3) Effect of Water-soluble vitamin E on pulmonary fibrosis model mouse respiratory inflammation
The determination of key cytokines in the inflammatory response of lung tissue may describe the inflammatory response of the body by bleomycin. The results in FIG. 5 show that bleomycin results in significant increases in lung tissue inflammatory factor IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF- α mRNA expression, whereas both water-soluble vitamin E and dexamethasone significantly reduce IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF- α mRNA expression, approaching that of the sham group. The results show that both water-soluble vitamin E and dexamethasone can significantly improve bleomycin-induced inflammatory response of lung tissue.
(4) Effect of Water-soluble vitamin E on pulmonary fibrosis model mice pulmonary fibrosis
The lung index may reflect the degree of lung tissue fibrosis in lung fibrosis model mice. As can be seen from table 8, the lung index of the mice in the model group was significantly increased compared to the sham group; the water-soluble vitamin E can obviously reduce the lung index; there was only a trend in the dexamethasone group.
When the lung is fibrosed, the main components in the lung are collagen fibers, and the hydroxyproline is special for the collagen fibers, so that the content of the hydroxyproline in the lung can be measured, and the collagen content of the lung tissue can be reflected, and further the fibrosis degree of the lung tissue can be reflected. As can be seen from table 8, the hydroxyproline content of mice in the model group was significantly increased compared to the sham group; the water-soluble vitamin E and dexamethasone can obviously reduce the content of hydroxyproline.
To visually examine the morphological changes of the lung tissue of the mice, HE staining was performed on the lung tissue, and as can be seen from fig. 6A, the morphological structure of the lung tissue of the sham surgery group was not significantly changed; model group pulmonary interstitial blood vessel congestion, alveolar space wide broadening, alveolar space shrinking, local lamellar pulmonary fibrosis, severe destruction of pulmonary tissue structure, diffuse infiltration of a large number of lymphocytes, plasma cells and neutrophils at lesion sites; the pathological changes of dexamethasone and water-soluble vitamin E groups were alleviated, but there were also significant differences from the sham-operated group.
Scoring the lung tissue of the mice with reference to a lung fibrosis grading scoring criteria, wherein the model group mice have significantly increased fibrosis scores compared to the sham group; the water-soluble vitamin E significantly reduced the fibrosis score, with no significant decrease in the dexamethasone group, and the results are shown in table 8.
Masson staining can measure the fibrous tissue area and the integrated absorbance of fibrosis, reflecting the degree of fibrosis in lung tissue and the degree of dense fibrous tissue proliferation. Fig. 6B is a set of typical Masson-stained pictures taken. From fig. 6B, it can be seen that the lung tissue of sham mice contains a small amount of collagen fibers, which are the major components of the extracellular matrix; the collagen fibers of mice in the model group are obviously increased, the density degree of fibrous tissue hyperplasia is obviously increased, and typical pulmonary interstitial fibrosis occurs; pulmonary interstitial fibrosis changes also occurred in the dexamethasone and water-soluble vitamin E groups, but the degree of fibrosis was reduced compared to the model group. From the quantitative results in table 8, water-soluble vitamin E significantly reduced the fibrosis area and fibrosis density compared to the model group, and dexamethasone also had a trend toward lower, but slightly less effective, groups.
TABLE 8 influence on pulmonary fibrosis model pulmonary tissue fibrosis
Figure BDA0003345103470000141
The results show that both the water-soluble vitamin E and the dexamethasone can obviously improve the bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis, and the effect of the water-soluble vitamin E is slightly better than that of the dexamethasone.
From the experimental results, the water-soluble vitamin E can obviously reduce pulmonary alveoli inflammation, interstitial pulmonary inflammation and collagen deposition of pulmonary tissues of a lipopolysaccharide-induced lung injury model mouse; the pulmonary interstitial inflammation and the pulmonary tissue fibrosis degree of the bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis model mice are obviously reduced. Thereby reducing the degree of lung injury, preventing and treating pulmonary fibrosis, improving lung function and increasing survival rate.
The water-soluble vitamin E has good effects of preventing and treating lung injury and pulmonary fibrosis, and the effect is slightly better than that of dexamethasone.
