Molgramostim Molgramostim for Autoimmune Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis (aPAP)


aPAP: An Autoimmune Disease of Alveolar Macrophage Dysfunction GM-CSF Autoantibodies GM-CSF Normal Alveolus Alveolus in PAP NORMAL LUNG aPAP FUNCTION Thin surfactant layer Thick surfactant layer Rare lung disease caused by GM-CSF Alveoli need surfactant to keep autoantibodies which block from collapsing Alveolar epithelial cells GM-CSF signaling and GM-CSF reduce surfactant clearance. GM-CSF GM-CSF is critical for alveolar GM-CSF This results in: autoantibodies macrophage function and allows for alveolar surfactant homeostasis, Surfactant accumulation that structure, function, and host defense Foamy blocks movement of oxygen from alveolar the alveoli into the blood Normal macrophage alveolar (lipid filled) macrophage Normal Reduced blood oxygenation that Reduced oxygen delivery makes it hard to breath and, oxygen delivery ultimately, hypoxemic respiratory Air-filled alveolus Surfactant-filled alveolus failure 7 © Savara Inc.
