Here we demonstrated that SKI2162, a small-molecule inhibitor of the TGF-β type I receptor (ALK5), prevented radiation-induced fibrosis (RIF) in mice. SKI2162 inhibited phosphorylation of Smad and induction of RIF-related genes in vitro. In RIF a mouse model, SKI2162 reduced late skin reactions and leg-contracture without jeopardizing the acute skin reaction. Irradiation of mouse tissue increased COL1A2 mRNA levels, and topical administration of SKI2162 significantly inhibited this effect. Thus, these findings support that SKI2162 has potential value as novel RIF-protective agent, and could be candidate for clinical trials.
在此我们证明,TGF-β I型受体(ALK5)的小分子抑制剂SKI2162可预防小鼠的放射性纤维化(RIF)。SKI2162在体外可抑制Smad磷酸化及RIF相关基因的诱导。在RIF小鼠模型中,SKI2162可减轻晚期皮肤反应和腿部挛缩,而不影响急性皮肤反应。照射小鼠组织会增加COL1A2 mRNA水平,局部应用SKI2162可显著抑制这一效应。因此,这些发现支持SKI2162作为新型RIF保护剂具有潜在价值,可能成为临床试验的候选药物。
