The goal of this study was to determine if IL-22:Fc would Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS).
No therapies exist for ARDS and treatment is purely supportive. Interleukin-22 (IL-22) plays an integral component in recovery of the lung from infection. IL-22:Fc is a recombinant protein with a human FC immunoglobulin that increases the half-life of IL-22.
ARDS was induced in C57BL/6 mice with intra-tracheal lipopolysaccharide (LPS) at a dose of 33.3 or 100 ug. In the low-dose LPS group (LDG), IL-22:FC was administered via tail vein injection at 30 minutes (n = 9) and compared to sham (n = 9). In the high-dose LPS group (HDG), IL-22:FC was administered (n = 11) then compared to sham (n = 8). Euthanasia occurred after bronchioalveolar lavage (BAL) on post-injury day 4.
In the LDG, IL-22:FC resulted in decreased protein leak (0.15 vs. 0.25 ug/uL, p = 0.02). BAL protein in animals receiving IL-22:Fc in the HDG was not different. For the HDG, animals receiving IL-22:Fc had lower BAL cell counts (539,636 vs 3,147,556 cells/uL, p = 0.02). For the HDG, IL-6 (110.6 vs. 527.1 pg/mL, p = 0.04), TNF-α (5.87 vs. 25.41 pg/mL, p = 0.04), and G-CSF (95.14 vs. 659.6, p = 0.01) levels were lower in the BAL fluid of IL-22:Fc treated animals compared to sham.
IL-22:Fc decreases lung inflammation and lung capillary leak in ARDS. IL-22:Fc may be a novel therapy for ARDS.
本研究旨在确定 IL-22:Fc 是否会导致急性呼吸窘迫综合征(ARDS)。
目前尚无 ARDS 的治疗方法,治疗仅为支持性治疗。白细胞介素 22(IL-22)在感染后肺部恢复中发挥着重要作用。IL-22:Fc 是一种重组蛋白,具有增加 IL-22 半衰期的人 FC 免疫球蛋白。
用气管内脂多糖(LPS)以 33.3 或 100ug 的剂量诱导 C57BL/6 小鼠发生 ARDS。在低剂量 LPS 组(LDG)中,IL-22:Fc 在 30 分钟时通过尾静脉注射给药(n = 9),并与假手术组(n = 9)进行比较。在高剂量 LPS 组(HDG)中,给予 IL-22:Fc(n = 11),然后与假手术组(n = 8)进行比较。在损伤后第 4 天进行支气管肺泡灌洗(BAL)后进行安乐死。
在 LDG 中,IL-22:Fc 导致蛋白漏出减少(0.15 与 0.25ug/uL,p = 0.02)。在 HDG 中接受 IL-22:Fc 的动物的 BAL 蛋白无差异。对于 HDG,接受 IL-22:Fc 的动物的 BAL 细胞计数较低(539,636 与 3,147,556 细胞/uL,p = 0.02)。对于 HDG,IL-6(110.6 与 527.1pg/mL,p = 0.04),TNF-α(5.87 与 25.41pg/mL,p = 0.04)和 G-CSF(95.14 与 659.6,p = 0.01)在 BAL 液中的水平低于假手术组。
IL-22:Fc 可减少 ARDS 中的肺部炎症和肺毛细血管漏。IL-22:Fc 可能是 ARDS 的一种新疗法。
