Angiotensin II is able to trigger inflammatory responses through an angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor. The role of AT1 receptor in acute lung injury (ALI) is poorly understood. Mice were randomly divided into three groups (n = 40 each groups): NS group; LPS group (2 mg/kg LPS intratracheally); and LPS + ZD 7155 group, 10 mg/kg ZD 7155 (an AT1 receptor antagonist) intraperitoneally 30 min prior to LPS exposure. Samples from the lung were isolated and assayed for histopathology analyses or proinflammatory gene expressions, angiotensin II receptors expressions and nuclear factors activities. LPS exposure resulted in severe ALI, elevated levels of TNF-α and IL-1β mRNA expressions, and increased activities of NF-κB and activated protein (AP)-1. Upregulation of AT1 receptor and down-regulation of AT2 receptor were also observed after LPS challenge. Pretreatment with ZD 7155 significantly inhibited the increase of AT1 receptor expression and upregulated AT2 receptor expression. ZD 7155 also reduced the mRNA expression of TNF-α and IL-1β, inhibited the activation of NF-κB and AP-1, and improved lung histopathology. These findings suggest that antagonism of AT1 receptor inhibits the activation of NF-κB and AP-1 in the lung, which may mediate the release of TNF-α and IL-1β and contribute to LPS-induced ALI. 相似文献

Acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe condition that can progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), with a high mortality rate. Currently, no specific and compelling drug treatment plan exists. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have shown promising results in preclinical and clinical studies as a potential treatment for ALI and other lung-related conditions due to their immunomodulatory properties and ability to regenerate various cell types. The present study focuses on analyzing the role of umbilical cord MSC (UC-MSC))-derived exosomes in reducing lipopolysaccharide-induced ALI and investigating the mechanism involved. The study demonstrates that UC-MSC-derived exosomes effectively improved the metabolic function of alveolar macrophages and promoted their shift to an anti-inflammatory phenotype, leading to a reduction in ALI. The findings also suggest that creating three-dimensional microspheres from the MSCs first can enhance the effectiveness of the exosomes. Further research is needed to fully understand the mechanism of action and optimize the therapeutic potential of MSCs and their secretome in ALI and other lung-related conditions. 相似文献

BackgroundAcute lung injury (ALI) is a systemic inflammatory process, which has no pharmacological therapy in clinic. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that natural compounds from herbs have potent anti-inflammatory efficacy in several disease models, which could be the potential candidates for the treatment of ALI.Hypothesis/PurposeAnti-inflammatory screening from natural product bank may provide new anti-inflammatory compounds for therapeutic target discovery and ALI treatment.Methods165 natural compounds were screened for their anti-inflammatory activity in LPS-stimulated macrophages. PCR array, SPR and ELISA were used to determine the potential target of the most active compound, Cardamonin (CAR). The pharmacological effect of CAR was further evaluated in both LPS-stimulated macrophages and ALI mice model.ResultsOut of the screened 165 compounds, CAR significantly inhibited LPS-induced inflammatory cytokine secretion in macrophages. We further showed that CAR significantly inhibited NF-κB and JNK signaling activation, and thereby inflammatory cytokine production via directly interacting with MD2 in vitro. In vivo, our data show that CAR treatment inhibited LPS-induced lung damage, systemic inflammatory cytokine production, and reduced macrophage infiltration in the lungs, accompanied with reduced TLR4/MD2 complex in lung tissues, Treatment with CAR also dose-dependently increased survival in the septic mice induced by DH5α bacterial infection.ConclusionWe demonstrate that a natural product, CAR, attenuates LPS-induced lung injury and sepsis by inhibiting inflammation via interacting with MD2, leading to the inactivation of the TLR4/MD2-MyD88-MAPK/NF-κB pathway. 相似文献

Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1; CD54) is an adhesion molecule constitutively expressed in abundance on the cell surface of type I alveolar epithelial cells (AEC) in the normal lung and is a critical participant in pulmonary innate immunity. At many sites, ICAM-1 is shed from the cell surface as a soluble molecule (sICAM-1). Limited information is available regarding the presence, source, or significance of sICAM-1 in the alveolar lining fluid of normal or injured lungs. We found sICAM-1 in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid of normal mice (386 +/- 50 ng/ml). Additionally, sICAM-1 was spontaneously released by murine AEC in primary culture as type II cells spread and assumed characteristics of type I cells. Shedding of sICAM-1 increased significantly at later points in culture (5-7 days) compared with earlier time points (3-5 days). In contrast, treatment of AEC with inflammatory cytokines had limited effect on sICAM-1 shedding. BAL sICAM-1 was evaluated in in vivo models of acute lung injury. In hyperoxic lung injury, a reversible process with a major component of leak across the alveolar wall, BAL fluid sICAM-1 only increased in parallel with increased alveolar protein. However, in lung injury due to FITC, there were increased levels of sICAM-1 in BAL that were independent of changes in BAL total protein concentration. We speculate that after lung injury, changes in sICAM-1 in BAL fluid are associated with progressive injury and may be a reflection of type I cell differentiation during reepithelialization of the injured lung. 相似文献

MTOR (mechanistic target of rapamycin [serine/threonine kinase]) plays a crucial role in many major cellular processes including metabolism, proliferation and macroautophagy/autophagy induction, and is also implicated in a growing number of proliferative and metabolic diseases. Both MTOR and autophagy have been suggested to be involved in lung disorders, however, little is known about the role of MTOR and autophagy in pulmonary epithelium in the context of acute lung injury (ALI). In the present study, we observed that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation induced MTOR phosphorylation and decreased the expression of MAP1LC3B/LC3B (microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 β)-II, a hallmark of autophagy, in mouse lung epithelium and in human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells. The activation of MTOR in HBE cells was mediated by TLR4 (toll-like receptor 4) signaling. Genetic knockdown of MTOR or overexpression of autophagy-related proteins significantly attenuated, whereas inhibition of autophagy further augmented, LPS-induced expression of IL6 (interleukin 6) and IL8, through NFKB signaling in HBE cells. Mice with specific knockdown of Mtor in bronchial or alveolar epithelial cells exhibited significantly attenuated airway inflammation, barrier disruption, and lung edema, and displayed prolonged survival in response to LPS exposure. Taken together, our results demonstrate that activation of MTOR in the epithelium promotes LPS-induced ALI, likely through downregulation of autophagy and the subsequent activation of NFKB. Thus, inhibition of MTOR in pulmonary epithelial cells may represent a novel therapeutic strategy for preventing ALI induced by certain bacteria. 相似文献

Background: Punicalagin (Pun) is one of the main bioactive compounds in pomegranate peel, it possesses many properties, including antioxidant, anti-inflammation and immunosuppressive activities. The study was aimed to investigate the protective effect and mechanisms of Pun on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) in mice.Methods and Results: Forty-eight BALB/c male mice were used to establish ALI by intratracheal-instilled 2.4 mg/kg LPS, the mice were randomly divided into model and Pun (10, 20, 40 mg/kg) groups. The other 12 mice were intratracheal-instilled same volume of water as control. After 2 h of receiving LPS, mice were administered drug through intraperitoneal injection. Lung index, histopathological changes, white blood cells and biomarkers in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were analyzed. The protein expression of total and phosphor p65, IκBα, ERK1/2, JNK and p38 in lung tissue was detected. The result showed that Pun could reduce the lung index and wet/dry weight (W/D) ratio, improve lung histopathological injury. In addition, Pun decreased the inflammation cells and regulated the biomarkers in BALF. Furthermore, Pun dose-dependently reduced the phosphor protein levels of p65, IκBα, ERK1/2, JNK and p38 in lung tissue, which exhibited that the effect of Pun related to mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) pathway. More importantly, there was no toxicity was observed in the acute toxicity study of Pun.Conclusion: Pun improves LPS-induced ALI mainly through its anti-inflammatory properties, which is associated with nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and MAPKs signaling pathways. The study implied that Pun maybe a potent agent against ALI in future clinic. 相似文献

Background
SOCS3 (suppressor of cytokine signaling 3) is a negative regulator of JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway and participates in the regulation of lung inflammation in a mouse model with acute lung injury (ALI). However, it is not well understood how SOCS3 regulates lung inflammation in the ALI mouse model.Method
In the present study, we investigated the effects of SOCS3 on modulation of Ly6C(+) monocyte phenotypes in a mouse model with lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI. Conditional SOCS3(Lyz2cre) mice with myeloid cell-restricted depletion of SOCS3 gene were created by breeding transgenic Lyz2Cre mice with SOCS3(fl/fl) mice. Wilde-type (WT) and SOCS3(Lyz2cre) mice were intratracheal instilled with 5 mg/kg LPS for 2 days. Lung, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and blood were collected for analysis by flow cytometry, ELISA, qRT-PCR and Western blot analysis.Results
The studies in the ALI mouse model revealed that myeloid cell-restricted SOCS3 deficiency exacerbated the severity of ALI as compared to the WT mice. The increased severity of ALI in SOCS3-deficient mice was associated with higher populations of neutrophils, T lymphocytes and Ly6C(+) monocytes in the inflamed lung tissues. In addition, CCR2 and CXCL15 were elevated, and accompanied by greater expression and activation of STAT3 in the lung of SOCS3-deficient mice. SOCS3-deficient bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) expressed a higher amount of TNF-alpha, and adoptive transfer of the SOCS3-deficient Ly6C(+) BMDMs into WT mice enhanced the severity of ALI than adoptive transfer of WT control BMDMs. However, depletion of Ly6C(+) circulating monocytes by anti-Ly6C(+) neutralizing antibody moderately attenuated neutrophil infiltration and resulted in lower prevalence of Ly6C(+) cells in the lung of treated mice.Conclusion
Myeloid cell-restricted lack of SOCS3 induced more severe ALI through modulation of Ly6C(+) subtype macrophages. The results provide insight into a new role of SOCS3 in modulation of Ly6C(+) monocyte phenotypes and provide a novel therapeutic strategy for ALI by molecular intervention of macrophages subtypes.11.

Lysolecithin acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1. 23) activities in lung homogenates and in subcellular fractions, and fatty acid composition of phosphatidylcholine (PC) in lung lavage were studied in dogs with acute alveolar injury induced by N-nitroso-N-methylurethane. The specific activity in the microsomal fraction was 10 and 3 times higher than those of homogenate and mitochondrial fractions, respectively. Both the lysolecithin acyltransferase activities and the proportions of palmitate in alveolar lavage PC increased during the early phase of injury (days 2–4), and decreased during peak injury (days 6–8). Such correlation was not found during the recovery period (day 15). During recovery, specific and total activities of the enzyme were nearly 2- and 3-fold, respectively, those of controls. Nevertheless, the palmitate proportions in PC were normal, indicating that the increased enzyme activity in vitro was not reflected in increased PC palmitate during recovery. This finding indicates that the enzyme activity per cell was normal during recovery and suggests that the increase in specific and total activities is due to massive regeneration of type II cells and that the enzyme is localized mainly in these cells. The decrease in the proportion of palmitate in lavage PC during peak injury may lead to abnormality of surfactant function. 相似文献

Objective
Alcohol intake increases the risk of acute lung injury (ALI) and the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and is associated with poor outcomes in patients who develop these syndromes. No specific therapies are currently available to treat or decrease the risk of ARDS in patients with alcoholism. We have recently shown increased levels of lung adenosine inhibit alveolar fluid clearance, an important predictor of outcome in patients with ARDS. We hypothesized that alcohol might worsen lung injury by increasing lung adenosine levels, resulting in impaired active Na+ transport in the lung.Methods
We treated wild-type mice with alcohol administered i.p. to achieve blood alcohol levels associated with moderate to severe intoxication and measured the rate of alveolar fluid clearance and Na,K-ATPase expression in peripheral lung tissue and assessed the effect of alcohol on survival during exposure to hyperoxia. We used primary rat alveolar type II cells to investigate the mechanisms by which alcohol regulates alveolar Na+ transport.Results
Exposure to alcohol reduced alveolar fluid clearance, downregulated Na,K-ATPase in the lung tissue and worsened hyperoxia-induced lung injury. Alcohol caused an increase in BAL fluid adenosine levels. A similar increase in lung adenosine levels was observed after exposure to hyperoxia. In primary rat alveolar type II cells alcohol and adenosine decreased the abundance of the Na,K-ATPase at the basolateral membrane via a mechanism that required activation of the AMPK.Conclusions
Alcohol decreases alveolar fluid clearance and impairs survival from acute lung injury. Alcohol induced increases in lung adenosine levels may be responsible for reduction in alveolar fluid clearance and associated worsening of lung injury. 相似文献13.

Infiltration of activated neutrophils [polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN)] into the lung is an important component of the inflammatory response in acute lung injury. The signals required to direct PMN into the different compartments of the lung have not been fully elucidated. In a murine model of LPS-induced lung injury, we investigated the sequential recruitment of PMN into the pulmonary vasculature, lung interstitium, and alveolar space. Mice were exposed to aerosolized LPS and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BAL), and lungs were harvested at different time points. We developed a flow cytometry-based technique to assess in vivo trafficking of PMN in the intravascular and extravascular lung compartments. Aerosolized LPS induced consistent PMN migration into all lung compartments. We found that sequestration in the pulmonary vasculature occurred within the first hour. Transendothelial migration into the interstitial space started 1 h after LPS exposure and increased continuously until a plateau was reached between 12 and 24 h. Transepithelial migration into the alveolar air space was delayed, as the first PMN did not appear until 2 h after LPS, reaching a peak at 24 h. Transendothelial migration and transepithelial migration were inhibited by pertussis toxin, indicating involvement of Galphai-coupled receptors. These findings confirm LPS-induced migration of PMN into the lung. For the first time, distinct transmigration steps into the different lung compartments are characterized in vivo. 相似文献

Acute lung injury (ALI) is an inflammatory process, and has high incidence and mortality. ALI and the acute respiratory distress syndrome are two common complications worldwide that result in acute lung failure, sepsis, and death. Pro-inflammatory substances, such as cytokines and chemokines, are responsible for activating the body's defense mechanisms and usually mediate inflammatory processes. Therefore, the research of substances that decrease the uncontrolled response of organism is seen as potential for patients with ALI. Octyl gallate (OG) is a phenolic compound with therapeutic actions namely antimicrobial, antiviral, and antifungal. In this study, we evaluated its action on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated alveolar macrophages RAW 264.7 cells and ALI in male mice. Our results demonstrated protective effects of OG in alveolar macrophages activated with LPS and mice with ALI. The OG treatment significantly decreased the inflammatory markers in both studies in vitro and in vivo. The data suggested that OG can act as an anti-inflammatory agent for ALI. 相似文献

Abrogation of Ron receptor tyrosine kinase function results in defects in macrophage activation and dysregulated acute inflammatory responses in vivo. Several naturally occurring constitutively active alternative forms of Ron have been identified, including from primary human tumors and tumor cell lines. One of these alternative forms, short-form (SF) Ron, is generated from an alternative start site in intron 10 of the Ron gene that eliminates most of the extracellular portion of the receptor and is overexpressed in several human cancers. To test the physiological significance of SF-Ron in vivo, mice were generated that solely express the full-length form of Ron (FL-Ron). Our results show that elimination of the capacity to express SF-Ron in vivo leads to augmented production of IFN-gamma from splenocytes following stimulation ex vivo with either concanavalin A or anti-CD3/T cell receptor monoclonal antibody. Moreover, in a concanavalin A-induced murine model of acute liver injury, FL-Ron mice have increased production of serum INF-gamma and serum alanine aminotransferase levels and worsened liver histology and overall survival compared with wild-type control mice. Taken together, these results suggest for the first time that SF-Ron impacts the progression of inflammatory immune responses in vivo and further support a role for the Ron receptor and its various forms in liver pathophysiology. 相似文献

High density lipoprotein (HDL) binds lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and neutralizes its toxicity. The aim of our study was to investigate the effects of Apolipoprotein (ApoA-I), the major apolipoprotein of HDL, on LPS-induced acute lung injury (ALI) and endotoxemia. BALB/c mice were challenged with LPS, followed by ApoA-I or saline administration for 24h. The mice were then sacrificed and histopathological analysis of the lung was performed. We found that ApoA-I could attenuate LPS-induced acute lung injury and inflammation. To investigate the mechanisms, we measured tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels in the serum and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and found that ApoA-I could significantly inhibit LPS-induced increases in the IL-1beta and TNF-alpha levels in serum (P<0.05, respectively), as well as in the IL-1beta, TNF-alpha, and IL-6 levels in BAL fluid (P<0.01 and P<0.05, P<0.05, respectively). Moreover, we evaluated the effect of ApoA-I on the mortality of L-929 cells which were attacked by LPS-activated peritoneal macrophages. We found that ApoA-I could significantly inhibit the LPS-induced cell death in a dose-dependent fashion. Furthermore, we investigated in vivo the effects of ApoA-I on the mortality rate and survival time after LPS administration and found that ApoA-I significantly decreased the mortality (P<0.05) and increased the survival time (P<0.05). In summary, the results suggest that ApoA-I could effectively protect against LPS-induced endotoxemia and acute lung damage. The mechanism might be related to inhibition of inflammatory cytokine release from macrophages. 相似文献

The adult respiratory distress syndrome and bacterial pneumonia are both characterized by an influx of neutrophils into the lung. The neutrophil has been implicated as having a "pathological" role in adult respiratory distress syndrome, in contrast to its role in bacterial pneumonia. We hypothesized that processes resulting in neutrophil recruitment to the lung are distinct, depending on whether the inflammatory stimulus arises in the intravascular or the alveolar compartment of the lung. Anesthetized sheep with lung lymph fistulas were utilized to access the three compartments of the lung relevant to studies of transpulmonary neutrophil migration. Serum, lung lymph, and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were studied for neutrophil influx and chemotactic activity before and after administration of endotoxin by either an intravascular or inhaled alveolar route. Both groups developed significant neutrophil influx into the lymph and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid by 3 h postendotoxin. Those animals receiving intravascular endotoxin developed chemotactic gradients opposing neutrophil migration into the lung in contrast to animals receiving alveolar endotoxin, suggesting that neutrophil influx into the lung occurs by random migration. 相似文献
