چکیده

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is often triggered and/or exacerbated by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Among various prostanoids affected by NSAIDs, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), in particular, seems to play critical roles in IBD via the EP4 receptor, one of the four PGE2 receptor subtypes (EP1-4). An EP4 agonist, [[3-[[(1R,2S,3R)-3-hydroxy-2-[(1E,3S)-3-hydroxy-4-[3-(methoxymethyl)phenyl]-1-butenyl]-5-oxocyclopentyl]thio]propyl]thio]-acetic acid, C22H30O6S2 (ONO-AE1-329), for example, when topically applied, has been reported to ameliorate typical colitis symptoms by suppressing the production of cytotoxic cytokines in the dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis model. EP4 agonists are also known, however, for their ability to protect epithelial cells from apoptosis in vitro, which may contribute to the protection of mucosal barrier functions. To investigate this potential application, we have tested another EP4-selective agonist in the DSS-indomethacin mouse colitis model. 7-[2-(3-Hydroxy-4-phenyl-but-1-enyl)-6-oxo-piperidin-1-yl]-heptanoic acid methyl ester, C23H33NO4 (AGN205203), an analog from the 8-azapiperidinone series of EP4 agonists, is metabolically and chemically more stable than the ONO agonist, because of its lack of oxidizable sulfur atoms in the alpha-chain and of 11-OH group, a potential source of beta-elimination reaction. Treatment of mice subcutaneously with AGN205203 at 3 mg/kg/day minimized colitis symptoms, such as weight loss, diarrhea, and colonic bleeding. Further histological examination of colons revealed healthy surface columnar epithelial cells free of erosion and ulceration compared with those without the drug treatment. At cellular level, the drug treatment decreased colon epithelial apoptosis, prevented goblet cell depletion, and promoted epithelial regeneration. AGN205203 may be unique among known EP4 agonists for its metabolic and chemical stability, and it is amenable to systemic applications for the prevention and recovery of IBD.

Prevention of trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid-induced experimental colitis by oral administration of a poly(lactic-coglycolic acid) microsphere containing prostaglandin E₂ receptor subtype 4 agonist.

Prostaglandin E₂ receptor subtype 4 (EP4) agonists are known to reduce intestinal inflammation and enhance epithelium regeneration. We explored the possibility of colonic delivery of an EP4 agonist, 2-[(4-{[2-((1R,2R,3R)-3-hydroxy-2-{(1E,3S)-3-hydroxy-4-[3-(methoxymethyl)phenyl]but-1-enyl}-5-oxocyclopentyl)ethyl]sulfanyl}butanoyl)oxy]ethyl nonanoate (ONO-AE2-724), using poly(lactic-coglycolic a...

Intestinal effects of isoprostanes: evidence for the involvement of prostanoid EP and TP receptors.

The isoprostanes, which differ from prostaglandins by the cis orientation of their side chains, are believed to exert their biological effects on either a prostanoid TP receptor or a "unique" isoprostane receptor. Preliminary experiments suggested that canine colonic epithelium possessed no prostanoid TP receptor activity, in contrast to the muscularis mucosae, which responds well to the select...

Comparison of prostaglandin E2 receptor subtype 4 agonist and sulfasalazine in mouse colitis prevention and treatment.

Prodrugs of 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA), such as sulfasalazine, have been the mainstay for the treatment and maintenance of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) for decades, which is attributable to their antiadaptive immune activity. However, 5-ASA compromises regeneration of intestinal epithelia and induces apoptosis. The majority of patients eventually undergo colectomy. Agonists for the prost...

Neural Stem Cell-based Intraocular Administration of Pigment Epithelium-derived Factor Promotes Retinal Ganglion Cell Survival and Axon Regeneration after Optic Nerve Crush Injury in Rat: An Experimental Study

Background: Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) is regarded as a multifunctional protein possessing neurotrophic and neuroprotective properties. PEDF has a very short half-life, and it would require multiple injections to maintain a therapeutically relevant level without a delivery system. However, multiple injections are prone to cause local damage or infection. To overcome this, we chose...

Prostaglandin D2 receptor D-type prostanoid receptor 2 mediates eosinophil trafficking into the esophagus.

Eosinophilic esophagitis is characterized by eosinophil-predominant inflammation in the esophagus. How eosinophils migrate and infiltrate into the esophagus, however, is less clear. Our previous study demonstrated that mast cell activation led to eosinophil infiltration in the esophagus. Prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) is an important mediator released from activated mast cells. The present study aims ...
