1 Chronic respiratory disease: towards better treatments Alaina J. Ammit PhD Professor of Respiratory Pharmacology, UTS Director, Woolcock Emphysema Centre, Woolcock Institute of Medical Research
2 Asthma Australia; Australian Institute of Health and Welfare Chronic respiratory disease Asthma 1 in 10 Australians have asthma More common in males aged 0 14, but among those aged 15 and over, asthma is more common in females Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) In Australia, COPD ranks third behind ischaemic heart disease and stroke as a major cause of disability and early death 1 in 7 Australians over the age of 40 are affected by COPD By 2020, COPD is projected to become the third most important chronic illness in the world
3 Asthma and airway remodelling Acute asthma bronchoconstriction and difficulty breathing Asthma is a chronic inflammatory condition of the lung associated with structural remodelling, or thickening, of the airway wall Mucus hypersecretion Neovascularization Airway fibrosis Increased airway smooth muscle mass
4 Asthmatic airway Non-asthmatic airway
5 COPD Chronic inflammatory disease characterised by progressive lung function decline Main symptoms are breathlessness, cough and sputum production Major public health problem worldwide Globally, the burden of COPD is projected to increase due to continued exposure to COPD risk factors: tobacco smoke, outdoor air pollution and indoor noxious particles and gases from cooking and heating fires Prevalence, morbidity and mortality of COPD are increasing in many westernised countries and cigarette smoking is the main cause
6 COPD: lung function decline Chronic inflammation in the lungs of people with COPD drives damage and long-term decline in lung function (breathlessness). Current COPD medications don t slow the accelerated rate of decline
7 GOAL Target molecular mechanisms to treat chronic respiratory diseases But wait don t we have drugs for that already? YES
8
9 BUT they are not always effective Anti-inflammatory corticosteroids and bronchodilatory β 2 -agonists are first line therapy Although these medicines have proven clinical efficacy, many respiratory conditions are not responsive: severe asthma, COPD, infectious exacerbation We urgently require improved and novel ways to treat chronic respiratory disease when current medicines are ineffective Need greater understanding of molecular mechanisms This is what my research team does...
10 What are the current issues limiting treatment today? β 2 -adrenergic receptor desensitization >5 recent publications in the top respiratory journals (in collaboration with Brian Oliver)
11 What are the current issues limiting treatment today? Cannot repress inflammation in severe asthma and COPD Current project as an example of our capabilities for potential funding and collaboration with industry partners
12 Harness the power of endogenous antiinflammatory proteins in COPD TTP (tristetraprolin) A molecular switch
13 TTP Tristetraprolin (TTP), a destabilising RNA binding protein, is a critical anti-inflammatory protein that induces the decay of mrnas encoding several cytokines, including those that drive COPD pathogenesis IL-6, IL-8, IL-2, GM- CSF, GRO-α, TNFα TTP Inflammation in COPD TTP is a molecular switch and is likely turned off under respiratory disease conditions
14 GOAL Switch TTP on to turn off inflammatory in COPD HOW?
15 We can switch TTP on by activating PP2A We can repress inflammation when current medicines (corticosteroids) cannot
16 GOAL Target inflammatory mechanisms to treat inflammation and reduce lung function decline in COPD The development of novel pharmacotherapeutic anti-inflammatory strategies more effectively ^ PP2A activators
