Abstract
Nanomedicine has emerged as a field in which there are opportunities to improve the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of incurable diseases. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is known as a severe and fatal disease affecting children and adults. Conventional treatments have not produced optimal effectiveness in treating this condition. Several reasons for this include drug instability, poor solubility of the drug and a shortened duration of pharmacological action. The present review focuses on new approaches for delivering anti-PAH drugs using nanotechnology with the aim of overcoming these shortcomings and increasing their efficacy. Solid-lipid nanoparticles, liposomes, metal-organic frameworks and polymeric nanoparticles have demonstrated advantages for the potential treatment of PAH, including increased drug bioavailability, drug solubility and accumulation in the lungs.

Enhanced myocardial blood flow in ischemic cardiomyopathy by a slow-release synthetic prostacyclin agonist combined with coronary artery bypass grafting: The first human study in a Phase I/IIa clinical trial. Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 10:1047666. [PMID: 36760570 PMCID: PMC9905424 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2023.1047666] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2022] [Accepted: 01/04/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Background YS-1402, which is a polymerized form of the synthetic prostacyclin agonist ONO-1301, has been proven in several preclinical studies to induce therapeutic effects for patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM). In this human study, we assessed the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of YS-1402, combined with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), for ICM. Methods Twenty-four patients with ICM whose left ventricular ejection fraction was <40% with an indication for CABG were double-blindly assigned to four groups: placebo, 10-mg YS-1402, 30-mg YS-1402, and 100-mg YS-1402. YS-1402 or placebo medications were administered on the surface of the left ventricle at the time of the CABG. Pre- and postoperative cardiac function and myocardial blood flow were assessed for 6 months postoperatively, along with a safety assessment. Results No severe adverse events were related to YS-1402. The maximum blood concentration of ONO-1301 was less than that of the no observable adverse effect level. Significantly increased myocardial blood flow (MBF) and cardiac function were observed in the YS-1402 group 26 weeks postoperatively, although no improvement in MBF occurred in the placebo group. Conclusion This Phase I/IIa parallel group-controlled, dose-escalation study of YS-1402 combined with CABG for ICM demonstrated the safety, tolerability, and potential efficacy of YS-1402.

A novel prostaglandin I 2 agonist, ONO-1301, attenuates liver inflammation and suppresses fibrosis in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis model mice. Inflamm Regen 2022; 42:3. [PMID: 35101153 PMCID: PMC8805395 DOI: 10.1186/s41232-021-00191-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2021] [Accepted: 12/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND ONO-1301 is a novel long-lasting prostaglandin (PG) I2 mimetic with inhibitory activity on thromboxane (TX) A2 synthase. This drug can also induce endogenous prostaglandin (PG)I2 and PGE2 levels. Furthermore, ONO-1301 acts as a cytokine inducer and can initiate tissue repair in a variety of diseases, such as pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary fibrosis, cardiac infarction, and obstructive nephropathy. In this study, our aim was to evaluate the effect of ONO-1301 on liver inflammation and fibrosis in a mouse model of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). METHODS The therapeutic effects of ONO-1301 against liver damage, fibrosis, and occurrence of liver tumors were evaluated using melanocortin 4 receptor-deficient (Mc4r-KO) NASH model mice. The effects of ONO-1301 against macrophages, hepatic stellate cells, and endothelial cells were also evaluated in vitro. RESULTS ONO-1301 ameliorated liver damage and fibrosis progression, was effective regardless of NASH status, and suppressed the occurrence of liver tumors in Mc4r-KO NASH model mice. In the in vitro study, ONO-1301 suppressed LPS-induced inflammatory responses in cultured macrophages, suppressed hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation, upregulated vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression in HSCs, and upregulated hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and VEGF expression in endothelial cells. CONCLUSIONS The results of our study highlight the potential of ONO-1301 to reverse the progression and prevent the occurrence of liver tumors in NASH using in vivo and in vitro models. ONO-1301 is a multidirectional drug that can play a key role in various pathways and can be further analyzed for use as a new drug candidate against NASH.

Combined administration of laminin-221 and prostacyclin agonist enhances endogenous cardiac repair in an acute infarct rat heart. Sci Rep 2021; 11:22243. [PMID: 34782616 PMCID: PMC8593012 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-00918-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2020] [Accepted: 09/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Although endogenous cardiac repair by recruitment of stem cells may serve as a therapeutic approach to healing a damaged heart, how to effectively enhance the migration of stem cells to the damaged heart is unclear. Here, we examined whether the combined administration of prostacyclin agonist (ONO1301), a multiple-cytokine inducer, and stem cell niche laminin-221 (LM221), enhances regeneration through endogenous cardiac repair. We administered ONO1301- and LM221-immersed sheets, LM221-immersed sheets, ONO1301-immersed sheets, and PBS-immersed sheets (control) to an acute infarction rat model. Four weeks later, cardiac function, histology, and cytokine expression were analysed. The combined administration of LM221 and ONO1301 upregulated angiogenic and chemotactic factors in the myocardium after 4 weeks and enhanced the accumulation of ILB4 positive cells, SMA positive cells, and platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRα) and CD90 double-positive cells, leading to the generation of mature microvascular networks. Interstitial fibrosis reduced and functional recovery was prominent in LM221- and ONO1301-administrated hearts as compared with those in ONO1301-administrated or control hearts. LM221 and ONO1301 combination enhanced recruitment of PDGFRα and CD90 double-positive cells, maturation of vessels, and functional recovery in rat acute myocardial infarction hearts, highlighting a new promising acellular approach for the failed heart.

Cardiac fibrosis models using human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiac tissues allow anti-fibrotic drug screening in vitro. Stem Cell Res 2021; 54:102420.

Abstract
Drug efficacy assessment without using animals is important for development of cardiac fibrosis treatment. In this study, potential anti-fibrotic drugs were screened in a model of diseased myocardium using human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CM) and non-CM in in vitro and in vivo heart failure models. Cardiomyogenic differentiation was induced in hiPSC to generate cardiac tissue, including both iPSC-CM and non-CM expressing fibroblast markers. Stimulation with TGF-β significantly increased cardiac fibrotic extracellular matrix (ECM) gene expression, and decreased cardiac contractile/relaxation velocity. Anti-fibrotic HGF significantly decreased fibrotic changes induced by TGF-β. A prostacyclin agonist, ONO-1301 (ONO), camostat mesilate (Cs), and pirfenidone (Pf) significantly decreased fibrotic ECM expression, and improved contraction/relaxation in the model stimulated with TGF-β. Consistent with the in vitro assay, the administration of ONO, Cs, or Pf for 8 weeks in J2N-k hamsters preserved the left ventricular ejection fraction and decreased cardiac fibrosis compared with the controls. The in vitro model simulating fibrotic cardiac tissue showed precise screening of anti-fibrotic drugs which indicated the expected therapeutic response in an in vivo heart failure model, suggesting that the in vitro model presented in this study is a useful tool for the screening of anti-fibrotic drugs.

Innovative therapeutic strategy using prostaglandin I 2 agonist (ONO1301) combined with nano drug delivery system for pulmonary arterial hypertension. Sci Rep 2021; 11:7292. [PMID: 33790393 PMCID: PMC8012709 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-86781-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2020] [Accepted: 03/03/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Clinical outcomes of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) may be improved using targeted delivery system. We investigated the efficacy of ONO1301 (prostacyclin agonist) nanospheres (ONONS) in Sugen5416/hypoxia rat models of PAH. The rats were injected with saline (control) or ONONS (n = 10, each) on days 21 and 28, respectively. Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)-expressing fibroblasts and inflammatory cytokines were measured. Cardiac performance was assessed and targeted delivery was monitored in vivo, using Texas red-labeled nanoparticles. Compared with control, HGF-expressing fibroblasts and HGF expression levels were significantly higher in the ONONS group, while the levels of interleukin-6, interleukin-1β, transforming growth factor-β, and platelet-derived growth factor were lower. Histological assessment revealed significant amelioration of the percent medial wall thickness in pulmonary vasculature of rats in the ONONS group. Rats in the ONONS group showed decreased proliferating cell nuclear antigen-positive smooth muscle cells and improved right ventricle pressure/left ventricle pressure. No difference was seen in the accumulation of Texas red-labeled nanoparticles in the brain, heart, liver, and spleen between PAH and normal rats. However, a significant area of nanoparticles was detected in the lungs of PAH rats. ONONS effectively ameliorated PAH, with selective delivery to the damaged lung.

Abstract
Fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition (FMT) is the primary inducer of cardiac fibrosis. ONO-1301, a synthetic prostacyclin agonist, reportedly promotes tissue fibrosis repair by enhancing anti-fibrotic cytokine production. We hypothesized that ONO-1301 attenuates pressure-overloaded cardiac fibrosis by modulating FMT and generated a pressure-overloaded murine model via transverse aortic constriction (TAC) to evaluate the in vivo effects of ONO-1301. Cardiac fibrosis, left ventricular dilatation, and systolic dysfunction were established 4 weeks after TAC; however, ONO-1301 treatment initiated 2 weeks after TAC significantly attenuated those effects. Furthermore, ONO-1301 treatment significantly upregulated expression levels of cardioprotective cytokines such as vascular endothelial growth factor and hepatocyte growth factor in TAC hearts, whereas FMT-related factors, including transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 and connective tissue growth factor, were significantly downregulated. The number of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA)- and vimentin-positive cells, representing fibroblast-originated cells transitioned into myofibroblasts, was significantly reduced in ONO-1301-treated TAC hearts. We isolated cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) from the left ventricles of adult male mice and assessed the effects of ONO-1301 on CFs stimulated by TGF-β. Results showed that ONO-1301 co-incubation significantly suppressed TGF-β-induced α-SMA expression and collagen synthesis, and significantly inhibited TGF-β-induced CF proliferation and migration. Our findings suggest that ONO-1301 ameliorates pressure overloaded cardiac fibrosis by inhibiting TGF-β-induced FMT.

Abstract
Gene or cell therapy is currently not fully efficacious for arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO). In this study, we determined whether YS-1402, a slow-release synthetic prostacyclin agonist, promoted neovascularization and skeletal muscle regeneration in a mouse model of critical limb ischemia (CLI). We ligated the femoral artery and its branches to obtain the CLI mouse model, administered saline (S group) or YS-1402 (YS group) to the thigh adductor 1 week after femoral artery occlusion, and evaluated tissue blood flow after surgery. After treatment, the leg muscle was obtained for histological, gene expression, and protein analyses to assess angiogenesis and skeletal muscle regeneration. Tissue blood flow improved in the YS group compared with that in the S group, and the number of CD31+/α-smooth muscle actin (αSMA)+ arterioles increased in the YS group. Prostacyclin receptor (IPR), stromal cell-derived factor-1, hepatocyte growth factor, and neural cell adhesion molecule expression levels were higher in the YS than in the S group. Skeletal muscle regeneration was detected based on PAX7- and Ki-67-positive satellite cells in the YS group. Myogenin and MyoD expression was higher in the YS than in the S group. Therefore, YS-1402 promoted functional angiogenesis and skeletal muscle regeneration in the CLI mouse model, suggesting a new therapy for ASO.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES High-mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1) fragment enhances bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell (BM-MSC) recruitment to damaged tissue to promote tissue regeneration. This study aimed to evaluate whether systemic injection of HMGB1 fragment could promote tissue repair in a rat model of myocardial infarction (MI). METHODS HMGB1 (n = 14) or phosphate buffered saline (n = 12, control) was administered to MI rats for 4 days. Cardiac performance and left ventricular remodeling were evaluated using ultrasonography and immunostaining. BM-MSC recruitment to damaged tissue in green fluorescent protein-bone marrow transplantation (GFP-BMT) models was evaluated using immunostaining. RESULTS At four weeks post-treatment, the left ventricular ejection fraction was significantly improved in the HMGB1 group compared to that in the control. Interstitial fibrosis and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy were also significantly attenuated in the HMGB1 group compared to the control. In the peri-infarction area, VEGF-A mRNA expression was significantly higher and TGFβ expression was significantly attenuated in the HMGB1 group than in the control. In GFP-BMT rats, GFP+/PDGFRα+ cells were significantly mobilized to the peri-infarction area in the HMGB1 group compared to that in the control, leading to the formation of new vasculature. In addition, intravital imaging revealed that more GFP+/PDGFRα+ cells were recruited to the peri-infarction area in the HMGB1 group than in the control 12 h after treatment. CONCLUSIONS Systemic administration of HMGB1 induced angiogenesis and reduced fibrosis by recruiting PDGFRα+ mesenchymal cells from the bone marrow, suggesting that HMGB1 administration might be a new therapeutic approach for heart failure after MI.

Abstract
Recent studies on bone regeneration demonstrate the use of low cost and stable small molecules, which avoid the adverse effect and high cost of growth factors. Herein, we investigate the chemotactic, angiogenic and osteoinductive potential of a prostacyclin analogue, ONO-1301, when delivered through a biomimetic nanocomposite scaffold (nanohydroxyapatite-gelatin matrix reinforced with fibers) for bone tissue regeneration. The small molecule was loaded onto the scaffold in three different concentrations. There was burst release from all the groups of scaffolds within 24 h followed by a sustained release up to 14 days, but the concentration was dependent on loading percentage. ONO-1301 loaded scaffolds augmented the migration, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), but increasing the concentration beyond a certain dose did not show any effect. The osteoinduction was mediated through the prostaglandin I2 receptor and cyclic AMP (cAMP) signaling pathway. They also promoted new bone formation in large sized calvarial defects in rats compared to the scaffold alone, but did not show any impact on angiogenesis. Hence, this study suggests the chemotactic and osteoinductive capability of ONO-1301 for the repair and regeneration of critical sized bone defects.

Abstract
Intravenously injected ONO-1301–containing nanoparticles selectively accumulated in the ischemic border area of the myocardium. Prominent up-regulation occurred of proangiogenic cytokines such as vascular endothelial growth factor and angiopoietin-1 in the ischemic myocardium, which may have contributed to the preservation of the native vascular and capillary networks, thus preserving regional myocardial blood flow. Down-regulation of the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α in the ischemic myocardium might have led to the attenuation of myocyte swelling and the suppression of the endothelial bleb formation, also contributing to the preservation of myocardial blood flow or the reduced infarct size.
Intravenously injected ONO-1301–containing nanoparticles (ONO-1301NPs), unlike an ONO-1301 solution, selectively accumulated in the ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-injured myocardium of rats and contributed to the prolonged retention of ONO-1301 in the targeted myocardial tissue. In the ischemic area, proangiogenic cytokines were up-regulated and inflammatory cytokines were down-regulated upon ONO-1301NP administration. Consequently, ONO-1301NP–injected rats exhibited a smaller infarct size, better-preserved capillary networks, and a better-preserved myocardial blood flow at 24 h after I/R injury, compared with those in vehicle-injected or ONO-1301 solution–injected rats. ONO-1301NPs attenuate the myocardial I/R injury via proangiogenic and anti-inflammatory effects of the drug.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN In vitro and in vivo assessment of osteogenic effect by prostacyclin agonist (ONO-1301). OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of ONO-1301 on in vitro osteoblastic differentiation and in vivo bone formation induced by bone morphogenetic protein (BMP). SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Among prostaglandins (PGs), PGE2 is the most abundant in bone tissue and its effects on bone formation have been well studied. PGI2 (prostacyclin) is the second most abundant PG in bone tissue and plays important roles in hemodynamics. However, the effects of PGI2 on osteoblast differentiation and bone regeneration have not been elucidated. METHODS The effects of PGI2 agonist (ONO-1301), with and without recombinant human (rh) BMP-2, on osteoblastic differentiation and cell proliferation were investigated in vitro using alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and WST-1 assays. Murine primary osteoblasts and cell lines (ST2, MC3T3-E1, C2C12, and CH310T1/2) were used for the study. The effects of ONO-1301 on rhBMP-2 induced bone formation were investigated in a mouse model of muscle pouch transplantation (ectopic model) and in a rat model of spinal fusion (orthotopic model). RESULTS ONO-1301 significantly increased ALP activity in the primary osteoblasts and ST2 cells. In addition, cotreatment with ONO-1301 and rhBMP-2 significantly increased ALP activity in the primary osteoblasts, as well as in ST2 and MC3T3-E1 cells. Cell proliferation was not affected by both ONO-1301 and ONO-1301 as well as rhBMP-2. In the ectopic model, ONO-1301 significantly increased the volume of ectopic bone whose formation was induced by BMP. In addition, in the orthotopic model, ONO-1301 significantly increased bone volume and fusion rate. CONCLUSION This study has demonstrated that the PG IP agonist ONO-1301 improves in vitro BMP-2 induced osteoblast differentiation and in vivo ectopic and orthotopic bone formation. The results suggest that ONO-1301 has a potential clinical application as an enhancer of BMP-induced bone formation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE N/A.
