The application belongs to the technical field of biological
medicine, and discloses application of
xanthine in repairing respiratory epithelial injury drugs and a chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (
COPD)
organoid model construction and evaluation method. In view of the defects that
existing treatment focuses on
inflammation control, relies on multi-
drug combination, lacks epithelial repair targeting and has low
pathological similarity
in vitro model, an
airway-alveolus
organoid model is innovatively constructed, the
pathological chain of
COPD airway injury-alveolus destruction can be completely reproduced, and a multi-dimensional
evaluation system is established. Based on the model, it is first proved that
xanthine single
drug can significantly promote proliferation of damaged
airway organoid cells, inhibit abnormal
apoptosis, selectively down-regulate release of
inflammatory factors such as TNF-alpha and CXCL1, promote alveolus organoid AT2
cell proliferation and regeneration, and repair alveolus
homeostasis at a concentration of 20-100 muM without combination with other drugs.
Xanthine is an endogenous
purine metabolite, is safe and low-toxic, solves the pain points of existing
drug combination dependence and side effects, and realizes upgrading from
inflammation control to structure repair.
Xanthine can be made into oral or
respiratory tract local preparations, is suitable for repairing epithelial injury of respiratory diseases such as
COPD and
asthma, is suitable for a wide range of people, has significant clinical and industrialization values, and the innovative model also provides a reliable tool for related drug research and development.
