Abstract
Chronic diseases associated with inflammation cause early destruction of RBCs. Complement system, part of innate immunity, is involved in such RBC destruction. Persistent inflammation causes kidney injury, leading to reduced erythropoietin release and functional iron deficiency, causing anaemia. We have investigated effect of iptacopan, a factor B inhibitor, and desidustat, a prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor in anaemia induced by peptidoglycan polysaccharide (PGPS) treatment in rats. Inflammation, haemolysis and its diagnostic markers (LDH, total bilirubin, and RBC lifespan) were evaluated after three days of PGPS challenge. Haemoglobin, RBC, iron homeostasis, and RBC destruction were evaluated fourteen days after PGPS challenge. Desidustat (15 mg/kg) and iptacopan (20 mg/kg) were given along with PGPS and continued for two weeks. Iptacopan and its combination with desidustat prevented LDH, total bilirubin, complement protein-C3a and haemolysis. Combination treatment caused an early normalization of haemoglobin and RBC. Combination also reduced WBC, alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase, and rat paw volume. Serum iron was increased by desidustat and its combination treatment. Spleen weight, tissue iron, and serum hepcidin were reduced by combination treatment. Effect of desidustat alone was prominent on iron (serum and tissue) and hepcidin. Thus, combination of iptacopan and desidustat can be a potentially useful therapeutic option for treatment of anaemia of inflammation.
期刊介绍:
Inflammopharmacology is the official publication of the Gastrointestinal Section of the International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology (IUPHAR) and the Hungarian Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology Society (HECPS). Inflammopharmacology publishes papers on all aspects of inflammation and its pharmacological control emphasizing comparisons of (a) different inflammatory states, and (b) the actions, therapeutic efficacy and safety of drugs employed in the treatment of inflammatory conditions. The comparative aspects of the types of inflammatory conditions include gastrointestinal disease (e.g. ulcerative colitis, Crohn''s disease), parasitic diseases, toxicological manifestations of the effects of drugs and environmental agents, arthritic conditions, and inflammatory effects of injury or aging on skeletal muscle. The journal has seven main interest areas:
-Drug-Disease Interactions - Conditional Pharmacology - i.e. where the condition (disease or stress state) influences the therapeutic response and side (adverse) effects from anti-inflammatory drugs. Mechanisms of drug-disease and drug disease interactions and the role of different stress states
-Rheumatology - particular emphasis on methods of measurement of clinical response effects of new agents, adverse effects from anti-rheumatic drugs
-Gastroenterology - with particular emphasis on animal and human models, mechanisms of mucosal inflammation and ulceration and effects of novel and established anti-ulcer, anti-inflammatory agents, or antiparasitic agents
-Neuro-Inflammation and Pain - model systems, pharmacology of new analgesic agents and mechanisms of neuro-inflammation and pain
-Novel drugs, natural products and nutraceuticals - and their effects on inflammatory processes, especially where there are indications of novel modes action compared with conventional drugs e.g. NSAIDs
-Muscle-immune interactions during inflammation [...]
