| Popis: | Purpose The purpose of this study is to determine the potential of narrow spectrum kinase inhibitors (NSKIs) to treat inflammatory eye disorders. Methods Human conjunctival epithelial (HCE) cells were retrieved from subjects via impression cytology. Real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) was performed on HCE cells to determine gene expression of NSKI kinase targets and proinflammatory cytokines in dry eye disease (DED) patients versus healthy controls. qPCR also assessed p38α expression in hyperosmolar-treated Chang conjunctival epithelial cells. Interaction of NSKI TOP1362 with the kinases was evaluated in ATP-dependent Z-LYTE and competition binding assays. Anti-inflammatory activity was assessed in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and primary macrophages. In an endotoxin-induced uveitis (EIU) study, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was administered intravitreally to Lewis rats. TOP1362, dexamethasone, or vehicle was administered topically, and inflammatory cytokine levels were measured 6 hours after LPS injection. Results HCE cells from DED patients showed significantly increased expression of p38α, spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk), Src, lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase (Lck), interleukin one beta (IL-1β), interleukin eight (IL-8), monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9). TOP1362 strongly inhibited the kinase targets p38α, Syk, Src, and Lck, blocked the rise in p38α expression in hyperosmolar Chang cells, and potently reduced inflammatory cytokine release in cellular models of innate and adaptive immunities. In the EIU model, TOP1362 dose-dependently attenuated the LPS-induced rise in inflammatory cell infiltration and ocular cytokine levels with efficacy comparable to that of dexamethasone. Conclusions TOP1362 is a potent inhibitor of kinases upregulated in DED and markedly attenuates proinflammatory cytokine release in vitro and in vivo, highlighting the therapeutic potential of NSKIs for treating ocular inflammation, such as that observed in DED. |
