摘要：

Activation of the formyl-peptide receptor-like (FPRL) 1 pathway has recently gained high recognition for its significance in therapy of inflammatory diseases. Agonism at FPRL1 affords a beneficial effect in animal models of acute inflammatory conditions, as well as in chronic inflammatory diseases. TIPMFVPESTSKLQKFTSWFM-amide (CGEN-855A) is a novel 21-amino acid peptide agonist for FPRL1 and also activates FPRL2. CGEN-855A was discovered using a computational platform designed to predict novel G protein-coupled receptor peptide agonists cleaved from secreted proteins by convertase proteolysis. In vivo, CGEN-855A displays anti-inflammatory activity manifested as 50% inhibition of polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) recruitment to inflamed air pouch and provides protection against ischemia-reperfusion-mediated injury to the myocardium in both murine and rat models ( 36 and 25% reduction in infarct size, respectively). Both these activities are accompanied by inhibition of PMN recruitment to the injured organ. The secretion of inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1 beta, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha, was not affected upon incubation of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells with CGEN-855A, whereas IL-8 secretion was elevated up to 2-fold upon treatment with the highest CGEN-855A dose only. Collectively, these new data support a potential role for CGEN-855A in the treatment of reperfusion-mediated injury and in other acute and chronic inflammatory conditions.
