본 발명은 과립구집락자극인자(G-CSF) 및 인터루킨-1β(IL-1β)를 이용한 호중구성 폐 염증질환의 진단, 예방 또는 치료용 조성물에 관한 것이다. The present invention relates to a composition for diagnosis, prevention or treatment of neutrophilic pulmonary inflammatory disease using granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β).

천식(Asthma)은 폐 속의 기관지가 아주 예민해진 상태로, 때때로 기관지가 좁아져서 숨이 차고 가랑가랑하는 숨소리가 들리면서 기침을 심하게 하는 증상을 나타내는 질환이다. 천식은 유전 및 환경적 요인이 합쳐져 생기는 대표적인 알레르기 질환으로, 공기가 흐르는 길인 기관지의 염증으로 기관지 점막이 부어오르고 기관지 근육이 경련을 일으키면서 기관지가 막혀서 숨이 차게 된다. 만성폐쇄성폐질환(chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; COPD)은 유해한 입자나 가스에 흡입에 의해 폐에 비정상적인 염증반응이 일어나면서 폐 기능이 저하되고 호흡곤란을 유발하게 되는 호흡기 질환이다. Asthma (Asthma) is a condition in which the bronchi in the lungs become very sensitive, and sometimes the bronchi are narrowed, causing shortness of breath and a crotch of breath, causing severe coughing. Asthma is a typical allergic disease caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. The bronchial mucosa is swollen due to inflammation of the bronchi, which is the path through which the air flows, and the bronchial muscles cause spasm, which leads to blockage of the bronchi and shortness of breath. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a respiratory disease in which an abnormal inflammatory reaction occurs in the lungs by inhalation of harmful particles or gases, resulting in decreased lung function and shortness of breath.

이러한 천식 및 COPD는 기도 또는 폐 조직에 침투하는 면역 세포의 유형 및 침윤 양상에 따라 호산구성(eosinophilic) 및 호중구성(neutrophilic)으로 세분화될 수 있다. 천식의 경우 중증도는 개개인에 따라 차이가 있으나 대부분 경증 또는 중등증을 보이는데, 1990년도에 들어 진행된 중증 불응성 천식 환자의 병리 연구에서 경증 천식에서 보이지 않았던 호중구성 염증의 존재가 알려졌다. 호중구성 천식은 천식 환자의 약 25%에서 나타난다고 알려져 있고, 전신 염증과도 높은 연관이 있으며 많은 경우 기존 천식 치료제인 스테로이드 제제에 저항성을 보인다고 보고되어 있다(J Leukoc Biol 98, 549-556 (2015)). 이러한 호중구성 천식 환자군은 전체 환자에서 차지하는 비율은 높지 않지만 전체 천식 치료에 발생하는 사회 경제적 비용의 약 50%를 차지할 정도로 치료 및 관리가 힘든 실정이다. 따라서 호중구성 천식의 면역학적 기전을 이해하고 이를 표적으로 하는 새로운 치료제 개발의 필요성이 대두되고 있으나, 아직까지 호중구성 천식의 발병 원인 및 메커니즘에 대해서는 잘 규명되어 있지 않은 실정이다. Such asthma and COPD can be subdivided into eosinophilic and neutrophilic, depending on the type and invasion pattern of immune cells that infiltrate the airway or lung tissue. In the case of asthma, the severity of asthma varies depending on the individual, but most of them show mild or moderate symptoms. In a pathology study of patients with severe refractory asthma in 1990, the presence of neutrophilic inflammation, which was not seen in mild asthma, was known. Neutrophilic asthma is known to occur in about 25% of asthma patients, is highly associated with systemic inflammation, and in many cases it has been reported to show resistance to conventional asthma treatment steroids (J Leukoc Biol 98, 549-556 (2015). )). The neutrophilic asthma patient group accounts for about 50% of the socio-economic costs incurred for the treatment of all asthma, although the proportion of all patients is not high. However, treatment and management are difficult. Therefore, there is a need to understand the immunological mechanism of neutrophilic asthma and develop a new therapeutic agent targeting it, but the causes and mechanisms of neutrophilic asthma have not been well elucidated.

Accordingly, the present inventors have tried to find a substance capable of effectively diagnosing and treating neutrophilic pulmonary inflammatory diseases, including neutrophilic asthma, characterized by a neutrophilic inflammatory response.

First, in order to prepare an animal model in which mixed asthma was induced, 2 mg of alum hydroxid and 75 µg of ovalbumin (OVA) were mixed and intraperitoneally administered on days 0 and 7 respectively, and 50 µg of OVA on the 14th day. Was administered nasally for 2 weeks twice a week.

호중구성 천식이 유도된 동물모델은 동일한 마우스에 대하여 멸균된 20 ㎕의 PBS에 10 ㎍ LPS와 75 ㎍의 OVA(sigma)을 넣어 혼합한 후 각각 0, 1, 2 및 7일째에 비강으로 투여하고, 이어서 4일째부터 시작하여 4주 동안 일주일에 2회씩 20 ㎕의 멸균 PBS에 50 ㎍의 OVA를 혼합하여 반복 투여하였다.The animal model in which neutrophilic asthma was induced was mixed with 10 µg LPS and 75 µg OVA (sigma) in 20 µl PBS sterilized for the same mouse, and then administered intranasally on days 0, 1, 2 and 7 respectively. Then, starting from the 4th day, 50 µg of OVA was mixed and repeatedly administered in 20 µl of sterile PBS twice a week for 4 weeks.

마지막으로 호산구성 천식이 유도된 동물모델은 동일한 마우스에 집먼지 진드기(House dust mite; HDM) 25 ㎍을 각각 0, 1, 2, 14, 15, 16, 17일째에 비강으로 투여하여 제조하였다. Finally, the animal model in which eosinophilic asthma was induced was prepared by nasal administration of 25 µg of house dust mite (HDM) to the same mouse at 0, 1, 2, 14, 15, 16, and 17 days, respectively.

한편, 모든 비강 내 투여는 케타민(ketamine)/자일라진(xylazine) 용액 120 ㎕를 복강 투여하여 마우스를 마취시킨 후 실시하였다. Meanwhile, all intranasal administrations were performed after anesthetizing mice by intraperitoneally administering 120 µl of a ketamine/xylazine solution.

각 유형의 천식이 유도된 마우스 모델을 제조한 후 각 마우스유래 기관지폐포세척액 내의 세포 분포를 확인한 결과, 도 1a에 나타낸 바와 같이 혼합형 천식 마우스에서는 호중구 및 호산구가 모두 유의하게 증가되었으며 호중구성 천식 및 호산구성 천식 마우스에서는 각각 호중구 및 호산구만이 유의적으로 증가된 것을 확인함으로써 각 유형의 천식 동물모델이 잘 확립된 것을 알 수 있었다. As a result of confirming the distribution of cells in each mouse-derived bronchoalveolar lavage fluid after preparing a mouse model in which each type of asthma was induced, as shown in Fig. 1a, both neutrophils and eosinophils were significantly increased in mixed asthma mice, and neutrophilic asthma and eosinophils. By confirming that only neutrophils and eosinophils were significantly increased in constitutive asthma mice, it was found that each type of asthma animal model was well established.

실시예 2. 호중구성 폐 염증질환 특이적 염증 물질 발굴Example 2. Discovery of inflammatory substances specific to neutrophilic pulmonary inflammatory disease

호중구성 폐 염증질환에 특이적인 염증 물질을 발굴하기 위하여, 본 발명자들은 이전 연구결과에 근거하여 먼저 상기 실시예 1-2의 방법으로 각각 혼합형 천식(Alum/OVA), 호중구성 천식(LPS/OVA) 및 호산구성 천식(HDM)이 유도된 마우스 모델을 확립한 다음, 각 마우스 모델에서 얻은 기관지폐포세척액에서 사이토카인 수준을 측정하였다. 그 결과, 도 1b에 나타낸 바와 같이 호중구가 높게 존재하는 천식 모델에서 G-CSF의 농도가 높게 검출된 것을 확인하였다(호중구성 천식 > 혼합형 천식 > 호산구성 천식). 나아가 상기 도 1b의 결과를 이용해 각각 기관지폐포세척액 내 호중구 및 G-CSF, 또는 호산구 및 G-CSF 간의 상관관계를 분석한 결과, 도 1c에서 볼 수 있는 바와 같이 G-CSF 농도가 호중구와는 양의 상관관계를, 호산구와는 음의 상관관계를 나타내는 것을 확인하였다. In order to discover an inflammatory substance specific for neutrophilic pulmonary inflammatory disease, the present inventors first conducted mixed asthma (Alum/OVA) and neutrophilic asthma (LPS/OVA) by the method of Example 1-2, based on previous research results. ) And eosinophilic asthma (HDM) induced mouse models were established, and then cytokine levels were measured in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid obtained from each mouse model. As a result, as shown in Fig. 1b, it was confirmed that the concentration of G-CSF was detected high in the asthma model with high neutrophils (neutrophilic asthma> mixed type asthma> eosinophilic asthma). Further, as a result of analyzing the correlation between neutrophils and G-CSF, or eosinophils and G-CSF in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, respectively, using the results of Fig. 1b, the concentration of G-CSF is the amount that is different from neutrophils as shown in Fig. It was confirmed that the correlation of was negatively correlated with eosinophils.

이에 더하여, 상기 결과를 검증하기 위해 각 유형의 천식 환자로부터 객담 샘플을 얻어 하기 실험을 진행하였다. 보다 구체적으로, 천식 환자의 객담 내 세포 분포를 바탕으로 하기와 같은 기준에 따라 각 유형의 천식 환자군을 분류하였다: 혼합형 천식(Mixed)-호중구 > 60%, 호산구 > 3%; 호중구성 천식(Neutrophilic)-호중구 > 60%, 호산구 < 3%; 호산구성 천식(Eosinophilic)-호중구 < 60%, 호산구 > 3%, 비세포성 천식(Pauci-Granulocyte)- 호중구 < 60%, 호산구 < 3%. 다음으로 각 유형의 천식 환자군 유래 객담 샘플에서 G-CSF의 농도를 측정하였다. 그 결과, 도 2a에 나타낸 바와 같이 호중구가 많이 존재하는 혼합형 및 호중구성 천식 환자에서 G-CSF가 높게 검출된 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 상기 각 유형의 천식 환자군 유래 객담 샘플에서 다른 사이토카인들의 농도를 측정한 결과 IL-1β의 농도가 혼합형 및 호중구성 천식 환자에서 유의하게 높게 검출되었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 G-CSF와 IL-1β의 상관관계를 분석한 결과, 도 2b에 나타낸 바와 같이 양의 상관관계를 나타내는 것을 확인하였으며, 이로부터 사람의 경우 IL-1β가 G-CSF의 생성을 유도하는 물질일 것이라는 가능성을 확인하였다. In addition, in order to verify the above results, sputum samples were obtained from each type of asthma patient and the following experiment was conducted. More specifically, based on the distribution of cells in the sputum of asthmatic patients, each type of asthma patient group was classified according to the following criteria: mixed asthma (Mixed)-neutrophils> 60%, eosinophils> 3%; Neutrophilic-neutrophils> 60%, eosinophils <3%; Eosinophilic-neutrophils <60%, eosinophils> 3%, acellular asthma (Pauci-Granulocyte)-neutrophils <60%, eosinophils <3%. Next, the concentration of G-CSF was measured in sputum samples derived from each type of asthma patient group. As a result, as shown in Fig. 2a, it was confirmed that G-CSF was detected high in mixed-type and neutrophilic asthma patients with a large amount of neutrophils. In addition, as a result of measuring the concentration of different cytokines in sputum samples derived from each type of asthma patient group, the concentration of IL-1β was significantly higher in mixed-type and neutrophilic asthma patients. Based on these results, as a result of analyzing the correlation between G-CSF and IL-1β, it was confirmed that a positive correlation was shown as shown in FIG. 2B. From this, in humans, IL-1β produces G-CSF. It was confirmed that it would be a material that induces

실시예 3. 호중구성 천식 환자에서 IL-1β에 의한 G-CSF 생성 유도 확인Example 3. Confirmation of induction of G-CSF production by IL-1β in patients with neutrophilic asthma

상기 실시예 2의 결과를 통해 호중구성 천식 환자에서 G-CSF와 IL-1β가 양의 상관관계를 갖는 것을 확인하였는바, 이를 토대로 IL-1β가 G-CSF의 생성을 유도하는지 검증하고자 하였다. 이를 위해, 인간 폐세포주인 A549 및 인간 기관지 상피세포인 Beas2B를 배양한 후 1 x 105개 세포에 IL-1β를 10 ng/ml의 농도로 자극하고 24시간 동안 배양한 후 ELISA를 통해 배양액 내 G-CSF의 농도를 측정하였다. The results of Example 2 confirmed that G-CSF and IL-1β had a positive correlation in patients with neutrophilic asthma. Based on this, we tried to verify whether IL-1β induces the production of G-CSF. To this end, after culturing the human lung cell line A549 and the human bronchial epithelial cells Beas2B, IL-1β was stimulated at a concentration of 10 ng/ml in 1 x 10 5 cells, cultured for 24 hours, and then in the culture medium through ELISA. The concentration of G-CSF was measured.

그 결과, 도 3에 나타낸 바와 같이 상기 두 가지 세포주 모두에서 대조군(Media)에 비해 IL-1β로 자극한 경우 G-CSF의 농도가 현저히 증가한 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과를 통해 인간 호중구성 천식 환자에서 IL-1β가 G-CSF의 생성을 유도하는 것을 알 수 있었다. As a result, as shown in FIG. 3, it was confirmed that the concentration of G-CSF was significantly increased when the two cell lines were stimulated with IL-1β compared to the control (Media). These results showed that IL-1β induces the production of G-CSF in human neutrophilic asthma patients.

실시예 4. IL-1β 중화항체의 호중구성 천식 치료효능 확인Example 4. Confirmation of the efficacy of IL-1β neutralizing antibodies to treat neutrophilic asthma

본 발명자들은 이전 연구를 통해 마우스에서 IL-17 및 TNF-α가 G-CSF의 생성을 유도하며, IL-17 및 TNF-α의 동시 억제가 호중구성 천식에 대한 치료효과를 나타냄을 확인하였는바, 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 인간에서는 IL-1β가 G-CSF의 생성을 유도한다는 결과를 토대로 IL-1β를 억제하는 경우 호중구성 천식의 치료효과가 나타나는지 여부를 검증하고자 하였다. 이를 위해, 상기 실시예 1-2의 방법에 따라 제조된 호중구성 천식 마우스 모델에 항-IL-1β 중화항체를 1주에 2회씩 2주 동안 복강투여하였다. Through a previous study, the present inventors have confirmed that IL-17 and TNF-α induce the production of G-CSF in mice, and that simultaneous inhibition of IL-17 and TNF-α exhibits a therapeutic effect on neutrophilic asthma. , Based on these results, we tried to verify whether IL-1β induces the production of G-CSF in humans, and if IL-1β is suppressed, the therapeutic effect of neutrophilic asthma appears. To this end, the anti-IL-1β neutralizing antibody was administered intraperitoneally to the neutrophilic asthma mouse model prepared according to the method of Example 1-2, twice a week for 2 weeks.

이후 기관지폐포세척액 내의 세포 분포를 확인한 결과, 도 4에 나타낸 바와 같이 호중구성 천식을 유발시킨 마우스(LPS/OVA)의 경우에는 정상대조군 마우스(PBS)에 비해 호중구의 침윤이 현저히 증가한 반면, 항-IL-1β 중화항체를 투여한 마우스(α-IL-1b)의 경우에는 호중구의 침윤이 유의하게 감소한 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과는 호중구성 천식에서 IL-1β의 억제가 효과적인 항염증 효능을 나타내며 호중구성 천식에 대한 치료효능이 있음을 보여주는 것이다. Subsequently, as a result of confirming the distribution of cells in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, as shown in Fig. 4, in the case of mice (LPS/OVA) inducing neutrophilic asthma, the invasion of neutrophils significantly increased compared to the normal control mice (PBS), whereas anti- In the case of mice administered with IL-1β neutralizing antibody (α-IL-1b), it was confirmed that neutrophil infiltration was significantly reduced. These results show that the inhibition of IL-1β in neutrophilic asthma has an effective anti-inflammatory effect and has therapeutic efficacy for neutrophilic asthma.
