Abstract

Disclosed are a method for destroying cellular mechanical homeostasis and the use thereof, especially disclosed is a method for destroying cellular mechanical homeostasis by using a Myosin inhibitor thereby leading to cell softening and reduction of fibrosis in tissues and organs. Also disclosed are a method for promoting regeneration and repair of tissues and organs and the use thereof. The Myosin inhibitor can destroy the homeostasis of the cellular mechanical stress system, reduce the rigidity of tissues and organs in a pathological state, and stimulate stress and regeneration reactions similar to those in the regeneration processes in lower organisms; and can use the characteristics to greatly inhibit fibrosis during the organ damage and to promote the regeneration and repair of tissues and organs, and meanwhile can use stress response to greatly improve the ability of cellular genetic repair. The Myosin inhibitor is preferably (−)-Blebbistatin, or a derivative thereof (−)-Blebbistatin O-Benzoate. The method requires only a single small molecule or single factor treatment, and is simple in operation and good in repeatability, and can be used as a new method to stimulate stress response, to stimulate regeneration response, to improve the ability of cellular genetic repair and/or promote regeneration and repair of tissues and organs.

Claims (4)

1. A method for reducing pulmonary fibrosis or muscle fibrosis, which comprises: administering (−)-blebbistatin or (−)-blebbistatin o-benzoate to a subject in need thereof.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein:

the pulmonary fibrosis is a pulmonary fibrosis caused by inhalation of inorganic dust, radiation damage, inhalation of organic dust, drug damage or other causes; and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis; and

the muscle fibrosis is a muscle fibrosis caused by a genetic factor or a congenital factor.
