#Researchers show that telomeres are linked to the origins of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis Samples from mouse lungs show collagen fibers that generate pulmonary fibrosis.
These results suggest that idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis may be treated by therapies based on the activation of the enzyme telomerase.
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) causes a gradual loss of respiratory capacity and can be lethal within a few years.
are at the origin of pulmonary fibrosis. This is the first time that telomere damage has been identified as a cause of the disease.
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a respiratory disease? affecting about 8, 000 people in Spain? in which scars are formed in lung tissue that make it rigid, leading to breathing difficulties.
For example, the telomeres of many patients suffering from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis are shorter than normal.
Furthermore, pulmonary fibrosis is one of the most frequent illnesses among people with mutations in genes involved in telomere maintenance.
most of the animals developed progressive pulmonary fibrosis. The researchers, after finding that the lack of telomeres is lethal for type II alveolar cells,
that telomere damage may cause pulmonary fibrosis. In the words of Martínez: e have seen that acute telomere damage is sufficient to trigger pulmonary fibrosis, even in the absence of environmental damage.
A MODEL THAT REPRODUCES THE DISEASE IN HUMANS Although the mouse lacking telomeres in pulmonary epithelial cells proves the importance of telomeres in the origin of fibrosis,
it does not however reproduce the disease in most human patients. In humans, environmental hazards play an important role in the disease.
which leads to fibrosis. The researchers therefore developed an animal model that combines premature shortening of the telomeres due to telomerase deficiency, with low doses of environmental damage.
but not enough to cause pulmonary fibrosis in normal mice at the low doses administered by the authors.
The shortening of the telomeres is not in itself sufficient to generate fibrosis nor, in general, is bleomycin at low doses;
and this triggers pulmonary fibrosis, says Povedano. The new animal models are essential for testing new herapeutic strategies based on the activation of telomerase the enzyme that repairs telomeres,
fits in well with the fact that idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis only occurs in people over 50 years of age;
such as the shortening of telomeres, has enabled us to generate animal models that faithfully reproduce diseases such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis,
