Treatment of lung fibrosis using modified cav-1 peptides
A patent application (Publication Number: US20240018186A1) discloses a method for treating or preventing fibrosis in a subject by administering a pharmaceutical composition containing a specific peptide sequence. The peptide sequence, Ac-aaEGKASFTTFTVTKGSaa-NH2 (SEQ ID NO: 8), is administered in an effective amount to the subject. The pharmaceutical composition may include a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and can be formulated for various routes of administration such as oral, intravenous, topical, or inhalational. Additionally, the composition can be administered systemically or locally to diseased tissue, with options for single or multiple doses at varying frequencies.
Furthermore, the method allows for the administration of the pharmaceutical composition in combination with other therapeutics such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, steroids, or anti-fibrotic agents like pirfenidone. The fibrosis conditions that can be targeted include kidney fibrosis, liver fibrosis, heart fibrosis, pulmonary fibrosis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, acute or chronic lung injury-induced fibrosis, and cystic fibrosis. The administration of the pharmaceutical composition is also shown to increase the viability of epithelial cells, particularly lung epithelial cells, and modulate the expression of smooth muscle actin in the subject, indicating potential therapeutic benefits in managing fibrotic conditions.
