Description

Application of nuciferine in preparation of medicines for treating pulmonary fibrosis
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy, relates to application of nuciferine, and in particular relates to application of nuciferine in preparation of a medicine for treating pulmonary fibrosis.
Background
Pulmonary fibrosis (pulmonary fibrosis) is a chronic progressive disease characterized by alveolar epithelial cell damage, and the pathology manifests as diffuse alveolitis, alveolar structural disturbances, extracellular matrix (extracellular matrix, ECM) deposition, etc., ultimately leading to structural destruction and dysfunction of the lungs. The etiology of pulmonary fibrosis is highly diverse and uncertain and lacks reliable early biomarkers. Current treatments for pulmonary fibrosis are limited.
Pulmonary fibrosis is a fibroproliferative disease that repairs abnormalities following injury to lung tissue, and is closely associated with activation of fibroblasts and pathological deposition of collagen. When various damaging factors act on the lung, various cytokines and chemokines are secreted, a fibrosis microenvironment is created, and locally aggregated fibroblasts are further activated to become pulmonary muscle fibroblasts with high expression of smooth muscle actin (alpha-smooth muscle actin, alpha-SMA) and excessive secretion of extracellular matrix (extracellular matrix, ECM), which are considered to have the characteristics of fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells at the same time, and have a contractile function, promoting the occurrence and progress of pulmonary fibrosis. As a main constituent cell of the lung interstitium, the lung fibroblast is not only a simple effector cell, but also plays an important role in pathological processes such as inflammatory injury, abnormal repair, scarring and the like of the lung fibrosis. It follows that pulmonary fibroblast dysfunction is a key element in the progression of pulmonary fibrosis disease. It is important to investigate the need for effective anti-pulmonary fibrosis drugs that inhibit fibroblast activation and abnormal proliferation.
The drugs approved by the FDA for treating pulmonary fibrosis at present are pirfenidone and nidazole only, but the two drugs have longer treatment period, and the improvement of pulmonary function and the prolongation of progression-free survival period and the reduction of death risk are visible after 52 weeks of continuous use. Meanwhile, related researches suggest that the two medicaments can generate medicament resistance after long-term use, and reduce the treatment effect of the medicaments, but the change of the pulmonary fibroplasia structure cannot be reversed. Non-drug treatments for pulmonary fibrosis include oxygen therapy, mechanical ventilation, and lung transplantation, which are expensive and ineffective in alleviating the frequency of disease progression and acute exacerbations. Therefore, the searching of a low-cost, safe and effective pulmonary fibrosis drug therapy has important significance.
The lotus leaf is leaf of Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn (Nelumbo nuficera Gaertn) belonging to Nymphaeaceae, and also called Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn leaf and Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn leaf. Nuciferine (NF), an aporphine alkaloid compound, is one of the main active ingredients in lotus leaves. Nuciferine can improve hyperlipidemia and reduce lipase activity. Many studies have shown that nuciferine has pharmacological activity in the treatment of various diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases and cancers. The prior report indicates that nuciferine has biological activities of atherosclerosis resistance, bacteriostasis, virus resistance, tumor resistance and the like. Nuciferine is used as a substance in the existing weight-reducing health product, and has low cost and good safety.
In summary, no report is found on the use of nuciferine as a main active ingredient for preparing a medicament for treating pulmonary fibrosis.

The nuciferine is an effective component extracted from traditional Chinese medicine lotus leaves, belongs to aporphine alkaloid compounds, and has the molecular formula: C19H21NO2 has a molecular weight of 295.38 and a structural formula shown in the formula I.

Conclusion of results
Results: nuciferine was administered therapeutically in a bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis mouse model, i.e. nuciferine drug treatment was performed on day 10 of the pulmonary fibrosis model. Mice in the normal control group and nuciferine alone treated group continued to increase in weight, and mice in the pulmonary fibrosis model group decreased significantly, but the pulmonary fibrosis mice decreased in weight after treatment with nuciferine at high (15 mg/kg) and low concentrations (3 mg/kg), with the high dose group being more pronounced (fig. 1). Because of the diffuse fibrotic focus of the lung, the ventilation function and the ventilation function of the patient with pulmonary fibrosis are seriously affected, and finally respiratory failure is caused. Improving lung function in patients with pulmonary fibrosis is therefore also one of the important tasks for treating pulmonary fibrosis. Compared with the normal control group, the pulmonary fibrosis model group mice have severely reduced pulmonary function, mainly manifested by reduced total lung volume, reduced airway compliance and increased airway resistance, but the pulmonary function related index is significantly improved after nuciferine treatment (fig. 2). As shown in the graph HE (fig. 3), the control group shows the normal lung structure, and the bleomycin-induced mouse lung fibrosis model group HE staining found that the alveoli were significantly collapsed and fused, the lung structure was disordered, the alveoli wall was thickened, and inflammatory cells were diffusely infiltrated. Nuciferine treatment group showed a reduction in alveolar space and a significant improvement in pulmonary structural disorder compared to model group. Masson staining suggested that deposition of pulmonary interstitial collagen could be significantly reduced following nuciferine treatment compared to model group mice (fig. 4). The hydroxyproline experiment quantitatively detects the collagen deposition of lung tissues, and the results are the same as the Masson results, and all suggest that nuciferine obviously reduces the collagen deposition of lung tissues (figure 5). Immunohistochemistry suggested that the expression of the model constituent fibroblast activation marker α -SMA and extracellular matrix fibronectin collagen-1 of pulmonary fibrosis was significantly increased, and significantly decreased after nuciferine treatment (fig. 6-7). To further quantify the expression of fibrosis-associated proteins in lung tissue, the experiment used Western Blot to detect the expression of α -SMA, fibronectin, suggesting that activation of fibroblasts and deposition of extracellular matrix can be significantly inhibited following nuciferine treatment (fig. 8).
Conclusion: nuciferine can inhibit bleomycin-induced progression of pulmonary fibrosis in mice.

Experimental results show that the lung fibrosis related protein (alpha-SMA, collagen-1, fibronectin) is obviously increased in a TGF-beta 1 induced mouse lung fibroblast model, the expression level of the fibroblast activation marker protein alpha-SMA is obviously reduced after nuciferine treatment is given, and meanwhile, the expression level of the extracellular matrix related protein (fibronectin, collagen-1) shows a obvious descending trend, and the difference has a statistical significance (figure 9). In order to further verify the influence of nuciferine on fibroblast activation and extracellular matrix proteins, immunofluorescence experiments are used, so that the expression of proteins can be more intuitively counted. The experimental results suggest that TGF- β1-induced expression of α -SMA, collagen-1, was significantly reduced following nuciferine treatment, consistent with the results of Western Blot (FIGS. 10-11).
Conclusion: nuciferine can significantly inhibit TGF- β1-induced activation of lung fibroblasts.
