Reduction in Serum High Mobility Group Box-1 Level by Polymyxin B-Immobilized Fiber Column in Patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis with Acute Exacerbation

Abstract: Background/Aim: Recent reports suggest that polymyxin B (PMX)-immobilized fiber may have beneficial effects in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) with acute exacerbation (AE). High mobility group box-1 (HMGB-1) is an important pro-inflammatory mediator that contributes to acute lung inflammation. This study was aimed to investigate whether PMX treatment affects serum HMGB-1 levels and oxygenation in IPF patients with AE. Materials and Methods: Twenty IPF patients with AE were treated by PMX. PMX treatment was… Show more

“…Both approaches are typically followed by a rapid taper and cessation of prednisone within several weeks, based on the rationale that chronic prednisone use is likely harmful in IPF [9]. Several other investigational agents have been studied in AE-IPF including polymyxin B-immobilised fibre cartridge [61][62][63][64], tacrolimus [65] and cyclosporine [66][67][68]; however, there are currently insufficient data to support the routine use of these medications.…”

“…Initially, PMX‐DHP was developed for removing endotoxins from the blood. However, it was also found to be effective in absorbing activated neutrophils and blood matrix metalloproteinase‐9 (MMP‐9),6 or high mobility group box‐1 7. Therefore, PMX‐DHP was beneficial in patients with not only gram‐negative bacterial infections but also acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis 6, 7.…”

“…However, it was also found to be effective in absorbing activated neutrophils and blood matrix metalloproteinase‐9 (MMP‐9),6 or high mobility group box‐1 7. Therefore, PMX‐DHP was beneficial in patients with not only gram‐negative bacterial infections but also acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis 6, 7. Matrix metalloproteinase‐9 is an inducible enzyme produced mainly by mononuclear phagocytes and stimulated neutrophils, and its elevation is affected by the augmentation of synthesis and/or secretion of this enzyme by inflammatory cells in response to infections 8.…”

“…Based on the results of both comparisons, it is very likely that the KKT column can reduce plasma HMGB1 levels in swine. There have been several reports showing a reduction of plasma HMGB1 levels after hemoperfusion with the Toraymyxin column [18,19]. However, in these studies, the comparison of HMGB1 levels was performed only before and after hemoperfusion, and HMGB1 levels were not compared with and without the column nor at the inlet versus the outlet of the column.…”
