All Trans Retinoic Acid (ATRA) progresses alveolar epithelium regeneration by involving diverse signalling pathways in emphysematous rat
Introduction: Pulmonary emphysema is characterized by destruction of alveoli leading to inadequate oxygenation, disability and frequently death. This destruction was understood so far as irreversible. Published data has shown that ATRA (All Trans Retinoic Acid) reverses elastase-induced emphysema in...

Methods: Emphysema was induced by elastase versus saline in Sprague-Dawley rats. On days 26–37, rats received daily intraperitoneal injections with ATRA (500 μg/kg b.w.) versus olive-oil. Lungs were removed at day 38 for histopathology and investigation of relative mRNA and protein expressions.

Moreover, expressions of markers genes for alveolar cell proliferation, differentiation and EMT events at mRNA and protein levels were significantly increased in EA group than emphysema group (ES). Upon validation at genomics level, expressions of components of Notch, Hedgehog, Wnt, BMP and TGFβ pathways were significantly attenuated in EA group when compared with ES and were well comparable with the healthy group. Conclusion: Therapeutic supplementation of ATRA rectifies the deregulated Notch, Hedgehog, Wnt, BMP and TGFβ pathways in emphysema condition, resulting in alveolar epithelium regeneration. Hence, ATRA may prove to be a potential drug in the treatment of emphysema.
