  • 肺部纖維化的死亡率近年來有顯著上升的趨勢,目前在臨床上並無任何有效藥物或方法可反轉肺纖維化,對於肺纖維化的病人僅能給予支持性治療以減少肺功能喪失為目標,台灣胸腔暨重症加護醫學會指出,在歐美地區,其年發生率約每10萬人有6-7人罹患,台灣則每10萬人約有1-2人會得到此疾病,且其存活期平均只有0.9年,5年存活期甚至低於乳癌、結腸癌等癌症。臨床上造成肺纖維化之原因很多,如各種肺部感染和因職業吸入石綿、矽、煤礦,又或者是抽煙或空汙,以及藥物、放射線治療所引起,更有一部分的病患是由自體免疫疾病或不明原因的原發性肺部纖維化等,因此一項能反轉或減緩肺纖維化的治療的方法在臨床上是迫切需求的。
    抗糖尿病二甲雙胍類藥物Metformin近年來有許多研究發現其能有效提升AMPK去抑制TGF-β並去抑制肺纖維化的產生,而類固醇藥物Prednisolone能有效的減少細胞內活化氧化物並減少肺內的發炎反應。本研究將利用具有生物可分解性高分子聚合物PLGA作為一項能搭載親水性及親油性藥物雙層藥物的奈米載體,並將Metformin與Prednisolone兩種藥物包覆於奈米藥物載體內,以達到同時減緩肺部纖維化並減少肺部發炎的功效,並且配合奈米藥物載體的使用能讓藥物具有緩釋的功能。接著以肺纖維母細胞(IMR-90)以及肺上皮細胞(L2)和C57BL/6小鼠使用Bleomycin引發纖維化後,再給予雙重藥物奈米載體治療去驗證藥物效果及臨床治療的可行性。
    研究結果顯示,使用雙重藥物奈米載體包覆藥物後可以獲得121 ± 29.1奈米大小的奈米粒子,並可分別包覆39.3%的水溶性藥物Metformin和64.83%的脂溶性藥物prednisolone,且使用此包覆雙重藥物的奈米載體能在細胞實驗上有效的抑制ROS的生成來減少更多的肺部發炎,以及減少肺上皮細胞的細胞凋亡。而在動物之肺臟病理切片分析中,發現給予bleomycin確實可以誘導肺泡間質增厚以及膠原蛋白的增加,並在給予雙重奈米藥物載體後能有效的減少肺泡間質厚度以及小支氣管周圍膠原蛋白,以及減少TGF-beta、NF-kB等發炎因子的表現。透過實驗結果顯示此雙重奈米藥物載體確實具有減少發炎之能力並能減緩肺纖維化的產生。
    本研究成功發展出一項能同時攜帶親水性及親油性藥物的雙重藥物奈米載體,並藉由包覆Metformin和Prednisolone兩種藥物來成功對抗和減緩肺纖維化,並作為臨床醫師之參考。目的希望可以大幅提升肺纖維化患者生活品質並減少本國對於肺纖維化在健保上的花費及醫療社會成本。

    Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) defined as an unknown progressive and irreversible disease that may be induced by cigarette, radiation, chemical substance, autoimmune diseases, and even idiopathic. Moreover, the mortality rate of PF has increased significantly in recent years. However, there is no clinically effective drug or therapy can reverse PF until now. For patients with pulmonary fibrosis, only supportive treatment can be given to reduce lung function loss. The Taiwan Society of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Association pointed out that the annual incidence rate is about 6-7 people per 100,000 people in Europe and the United States, and about 1-2 people per 100,000 people in Taiwan. The average survival period is only 0.9 years, and the five-year survival rate is lower than breast cancer, colon cancer and other cancers. Therefore, a treatment that can alleviate or slow down pulmonary fibrosis is urgently needed clinically relevant patients.
    Recently, metformin, an anti-diabetic drug, was found to help reverse fibrosis by activating AMPK to inhibit TGF-β and Smad signaling pathway. Furthermore, prednisolone, a steroid, can be used as an anti-inflammation drug by inhibiting reactive oxidants and pro-inflammatory molecules. In this study, we used Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), a biocompatible and FDA approved polymer, as a dual-therapeutic nano-carrier which is capable of carrying with the hydrophilic and hydrophobic drug, metformin and prednisolone, respectively. Then, nanoparticles (NPs) were given to bleomycin-induced lung fibroblasts (IMR-90), lung epithelial cells (L2) and C57BL / 6 mice to verify the drug effect and the feasibility of clinical treatment.
    According to the result, the NPs attain an average size of 121 ± 29.1 nm. The encapsulation rate of NPs is 39.3% and 64.83%, respectively, with metformin and Prednisolone. Moreover, it can control drug-releasing, which takes three days to reach the maximum drug releasing. In in vitro experiments, administration with NPs can effectively inhibit the generation of ROS from reducing more lung inflammation and the apoptosis of lung epithelial cells. In in vivo experiments, bleomycin-induced fibrosis can significantly thicken alveolar interstitial and increase collagen around bronchi through mice lung sections. Furthermore, the alveolar interstitial became thicker and bronchi collagen decrease after administration of drug-encapsulated NPs. Also, the administration of drug-encapsulated NPs reduces the expression of inflammatory factors, such as TGF-beta and NF-κB. From the above result, the dual-therapeutic PLGA NPs can reduce inflammation and alleviate or slow down pulmonary fibrosis deterioration.
    In this study, we successfully developed a dual-therapeutic PLGA NPs that simultaneously carry both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs. Through encapsulation with metformin and prednisolone alleviated and slowed down the deterioration of pulmonary fibrosis, and served as a reference for clinicians. The purpose of this study is to greatly improve the patient’s quality of life with pulmonary fibrosis and reduce the expense of National health insurance and societal costs.
