Popis: Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is an end-stage change in lung disease characterized by fibroblast proliferation, massive extracellular matrix (ECM) aggregation with inflammatory damage, and severe structural deterioration. PD29 is a 29-amino acid peptide which has the potential to alleviate PF pathogenesis via three mechanisms: anti-angiogenesis, inhibition of matrix metalloproteinase activities, and inhibition of integrins. In this study, fibrotic lung injuries were induced in SD rats by a single intratracheal instillation of 5 mg/kg bleomycin (BLM). Then, these rats were administered 7.5, 5, or 2.5 mg/kg PD29 daily for 30 days. BLM induced-syndromes including structure distortion, excessive deposition of ECM, excessive inflammatory infiltration, and pro-inflammatory cytokine release were used to evaluate the protective effect of PD-29. Oxidative stress damage in lung tissues was attenuated by PD29 in a dose-dependent manner. The expression of TGF-β1 and the phosphorylation of Smad-2/-3-its downstream targets-were enhanced by BLM and weakened by PD29.
