AIM: To investigate the effects of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on acute lung injury induced by H9N2 swine influenza virus (SIV) in mice. METHODS: BALB/c mice were used to establish the animal model of acute lung injury by nasal inoculation of H9N2 SIV. The mice were divided into control group (without SIV infection), H9N2 SIV group (inoculation of H9N2 SIV) and NAC group (inoculation of H9N2 SIV plus pretreatment with NAC). The pulmonary edema was evaluated by determining the lung wet weight/dry weight (W/D) ratio. The pathological changes of the lung tissues were observed. The concontrations of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were measured.The virus titer, T-SOD activity, MPO activity and MDA content in the homogenate of the lung tissues were detected. RESULTS: Treatment with NAC decreased the morality of infected mice, and significantly prolonged the survival time of infected mice. The pathological changes of the lung tissues, the lung W/D ratio and the lung index were relieved when SIV infected the mice treated with NAC. Treatment with NAC significantly decreased the infiltration of inflammatory cells including macrophages, lymphocytes and neutrophils in the BALF. The levels of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β and MDA and the activity of MPO were also decreased. Treatment with NAC also significantly increased the T-SOD activity. CONCLUSION: The protective effect of NAC on the acute lung injury mouse model is related to suppression of the oxidative stress and inflammatory responses.  相似文献

AIM: To observe the effects of ginsenoside Rh1 on the levels of inflammatory factors in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and the pathological changes of the lung tissues in an experimentally induced mouse asthma model. METHODS: Male BALB/c mice (n=40) were divided into 4 groups:normal control group, asthma mo-del group, and low-dose (40 mg·kg-1·d-1) and high-dose (80 mg·kg-1·d-1) ginsenoside Rh1 groups. The bronchial asthma mouse model was established by the method of ovalbumin induction and excitation, and during the excitation period, the mice were daily treated with ginsenoside Rh1 for 2 weeks. At 24 h after the final dose of ginsenoside Rh1, the mice were sacrificed. The number of eosinophils (EOS) and the concentrations of interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5 and interferon (IFN)-γ in BALF were determined. The levels of IgG and IgE in serum were measured, and the expression of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 and the pathological changes in lung tissues were evaluated. RESULTS: Ginsenoside Rh1 inhibited the increases in the number of EOS and the concentrations of IL-4, IL-5, IFN-γ and IgE, reversed the increased expression of TGF-β1, and improved the pathological changes of the lung tissues in asthmatic mice. CONCLUSION: Ginsenoside Rh1 improves the immuno-inflammatory profile and pathological changes in the experimentally induced mouse asthma model, implying its potential therapeutic effect on asthma.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the toxicity and reproductive effect of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)/basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) complex peptide vaccine (VBP3) on the female-mice. METHODS: The VBP3 was purified with Ni-NTA affinity chromatography. The female BALB/c mice were immunized with the purified VBP3. The antibody titer in the serum was detected by ELISA. The data of the body weight and the organ weight of the parent mice were gathered and analyzed, and the pathological changes of the organs were observed with HE staining to investigate the toxicity of VBP3. To investigate the toxicity of VBP3 in the F1 mice, the parent immunized female mice were mated with the parent non-immunized male mice. After the F1 mice were born, the survival rate was calculated, the change of the body weight and the organ weight of the F1 mice were also determined. The pathological changes of the organs in F1 mice were also observed with HE staining. RESULTS: In the parent mice, high titers of the antibodies were detected against VEGF and bFGF, and no difference of the body weight, the organ weight and the pathological change between the immunized mice and control mice was found. In the F1 mice, a low titer of anti-bFGF antibody was detected compared with blank group. The survival rate in control group was higher than that in immunized group. In the 2 groups of the F1 mice, no obvious difference of the weight of the spleen, kidney, lung and heart was observed, and there was some difference in the weight of liver between the 2 groups. The results of the HE staining in the F1 mice showed some difference in the liver between the 2 groups. CONCLUSION: VEGF/bFGF complex peptide vaccine has no obvious organ toxicity in the parent female mice, but has some side effects on the reproductive and the healthy processes of F1 mice.  相似文献

AIM: To explore a more accurate and reliable pathological model of the chronic bronchitis, which has improved from the former single-factor modeling method of the disease.METHODS: The mice in complex group were treated with lipopolysaccharide(LPS) by tracheal injection on the 1st day and nasal drops on the 14th day, and from the 2nd day to 30th day, the animals were given passive smoking and sulfur dioxide(SO2) inhalation(except on the 14th day). The mice in SO2 group were exposed to SO2 2 min per day, while in smoking group, the mice were exposed to smoke for about 1 h per day(4 cigarettes each time until one pack of cigarettes were burning up). In LPS group, the mice had tracheal injection of LPS on the 1st day and nasal drops of LPS on the 14th day and 30th day. Every modeling process lasted for 30 days. After modeling, the improvement of chronic bronchitis model was evaluated by testing the general conditions of the mice, analyzing leukocyte count in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF), and observing the morphological changes of the bronchial and lung tissues.RESULTS: After modeling, the mice in every model group experienced symptoms including wet nose, cough, dry and lusterless hair, arched back and curled-up body, showing inactive, and slow down in response. The mice in complex group gained the lowest weight compared to other groups. From each model group, the inflammatory cells infiltrated evidently around the bronchial walls, especially in the bronchial cavity, and the mucilage secretion in the airway increased. The total number of leukocytes in BALF increased significantly in complex group. The inflammatory cell count in the lung tissue indicated that the mice in complex group had significantly higher levels of inflammatory cell infiltration. Besides, the comparison between smoke group and LPS group was statistically significant.CONCLUSION: Smoking, SO2 inhalation and LPS injection induce bronchial lung disease in mice, and the complex chronic bronchitis mouse model is a better model with the pathological changes of bronchus, lung tissue and BALF, and pathogenesis of chronic bronchitis.  相似文献

AIM:To investigate the effect of Kechuanning on airway remodeling and the protein level of p-ERK1/2 in lung tissues of asthmatic rats induced by virus. METHODS:The asthmatic rat model induced by respiratory syncytial virus was established. The experimental rats were divided into normal group, asthma model group, low dose (0.33 mL/kg), middle dose (3.0 mL/kg) and high dose (10 mL/kg) of Kechuanning groups, and PD98059 (3 mg/kg) group. The airway responsiveness of the rats was measured by animal ventilator. The pathological changes of the lung tissues were observed by HE staining. PAS staining and Masson staining were used to observe goblet epithelial cells metaplasia and airway collagen deposition. The expression of matrix metalloproteinases-9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) in the lung tissues of the rats was detected by immunohistochemical staining. The protein levels of ERK1/2 and p-ERK1/2 were determined by Western blot. RESULTS:Compared with model group, the airway responsiveness of the rats in middle dose and high dose of Kechuanning groups was significantly decreased (P<0.01), the injury of lung tissues was significantly decreased, the goblet epithelial cells metaplasia and airway collagen deposition were significantly reduced (P<0.01), and the expression of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 in the lung tissues was also significantly decreased (P<0.01). In addition, the protein level of p-ERK1/2 in high dose of Kechuanning group was significantly decreased compared with model group (P<0.01). CONCLUSION:Kechuanning may treat asthma by regulating the expression of p-ERK1/2 in the lung tissues and improving the airway remodeling symptoms of asthmatic rats induced by virus.  相似文献

AIM: To observe the therapeutic effect of Jiedu-Qingfei mixture on Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP)-infected rat lung tissues and to explore its mechanism. METHODS: SD rats (n=40) were randomly divided into 4 groups:blank control group, model group, Jiedu-Qingfei group and positive control group, with 10 rats in each group. The rats in experimental groups were slowly dripped with 1×109 CFU/L MP solution into their nostrils for 4 d. One rat in each group was sacrificed for MP nucleic acid detection at the second day after inoculation, and the other rats were given gavage therapy. The rats in blank control group and model group were intragastrically given the same volume of normal saline, the rats in Jiedu-Qingfei group were given 8 mL/kg Jiedu-Qingfei mixture daily for 4 weeks, and the rats in psoitive control group were given dexmethasone sodium phosphate (0.5 mg·kg-1·d-1). After the experiment, the rats were killed. The serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were collected for detecting the levels of interleukin-12 (IL-12), IL-13 and TNF-α by ELISA. The right lung tissues were used for pathological observation and HE staining, while the left lung tissues were used to detect the expression of NF-κB p50, I-κBα and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) at mRNA and protein levels. RESULTS: The results of MP nucleic acid detection showed that all the rats except blank control group were MP nucleic acid positive, indicating that the rat model of MP infection was successfully established. On the 1st day of the treatment, the pathological scores of the lung tissues in model group and Jiedu-Qingfei group were significantly higher than those in blank control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the pathological scores of the lung tissues in mo-del group were significantly higher than those in blank control group and Jiedu-Qingfei group. The levels of IL-12 in the serum and BALF in model group were significantly lower than those in blank control group after MP infection (P<0.05), while those after treatment with Jiedu-Qingfei mixture were significantly higher than those in model group (P<0.05). The levels of IL-13 and TNF-α in the serum and BALF of MP-infected rats were increased significantly, while those after treatment with Jiedu-Qingfei mixture were significantly lower than those in model group (P<0.05). The mRNA expression levels of NF-κB p50 and p38 MAPK in model group were increased significantly (P<0.01). After treatment, the mRNA expression levels of NF-κB p50 and p38 MAPK were decreased significantly compared with model group (P<0.01). The mRNA expression level of I-κBα in model group was significantly lower than that in control group. After treatment, the mRNA expression of I-κBα in Jiedu-Qingfei group was significantly higher than that in model group (P<0.05). The protein levels of NF-κB p50 and p38 MAPK in the lung tissues of model group were significantly higher than those of blank control group. After treatment, the protein expression of NF-κB p50 and p38 MAPK was decreased significantly. The protein level of I-κBα in model group was significantly lower than that in blank control group, and after treatment with Jiedu-Qingfei mixture, the protein expression level of I-κBα was increased significantly (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Jiedu-Qingfei mixture may attenuate lung tissue inflammation caused by MP through NF-κB and p38 MAPK pathways.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the expression of IFN-γ, IL-4 and IL-17A in asthmatic mice vaccinated with bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) and hepatitis B (HepB) in the neonatal period. METHODS: BALB/c mice were randomly divided into BGG+HepB+ovalbumin (OVA) group (B/H/O group), B/O group, H/O group, B/H group, OVA group, BCG group, HepB group and normal saline (NS) group (n=6). The mice in B/H/O group and B/H group at 0, 7 and 14 d received subcutaneous injection of 1×105 CFU BCG for 3 times, while at 0 and 28 d received intramuscular injection of 1.5 μg HepB on the hindlimb twice. The mice in other groups were individually vaccinated with BCG or HepB. OVA sensitization and aerosol inhalation were performed to establish the asthma model. The lung tissues were collected for HE staining. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and peripheral blood (PB) were collected, and the number of eosinophils (EOS) in BALF was counted. The serum levels of IFN-γ and IL-4, and the level of IL-17A in lung tissue homogenate were measured by ELISA. RESULTS: The pathological changes of the lung in OVA group, B/O group, B/H/O group and H/O group were observed. There were extensive inflammatory cell infiltration around the bronchus, and epithe-lial cell hypertrophy. Those in B/H/O group and H/O group were worse than those in OVA group, while those in B/O group was better than those in OVA group. Total BALF cell counts in B/H/O group, B/O group and H/O group were decreased (P<0.05) as compared with OVA group. The BALF EOS count in B/H/O group was higher than that in B/H group, that in B/O group was higher than that in BCG group, and that in H/O group was higher than that in HepB groups (P<0.05). Compared with H/O group, OVA group and NS group, the serum IFN-γ/IL-4 ratio in HepB group was increased (P<0.05), and compared with B/H/O group, B/O group, OVA group and NS group, that in B/H group was also increased (P<0.05). Compared with OVA group, the level of IL-17A in the lung tissues of B/H/O group and B/O group was decreased (P<0.05), and compared with B/O group, that in B/H/O group was further decreased (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Combined vaccination of BCG and HepB reduces the inflammotory responses in the lung tissues of asthmatic mice. The mechanism may be related with the decrease in the release of IL-4, the increase in IFN-γ/IL-4, and the inhibition of IL-17A expression.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of simvastatin on the expression of Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR-2), interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in lung tissues of mice with mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV) pneumonia and to explore the possible mechanism. METHODS: Male BALB/c mice (6~8 weeks old, n=40) were randomly divided into 5 groups: normal control (NC) group, MCMV infection group, simvastatin group 1 (SMV1 group), simvastatin group 2 (SMV2 group), and simvastatin group 3 (SMV3 group). The mice in SMV1, SMV2 and SMV3 groups were gavaged with simvastatin (50 mg·kg-1·d-1 for 7 d) 7 d before, on the same day of and 3 d after intraperitoneal injection of MCMV, while the mice in normal control group and MCMV infection group were gavaged with the same volume of normal saline. HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of lung tissues in mice. Total tissue protein was extracted from the lung homogenates to detect the expression of TLR-2 by Western blot and immunohistochemical staining. Real-time PCR was used to analyse the content of MCMV DNA. The levels of IFN-γ and MCP-1 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS: Compared with NC group, the pathological changes of the lung tissues of the mice in MCMV group showed alveolar interstitial edema, alveolar wall widening and a large number of inflammatory cells. The expression of TLR-2 in the lung tissues of the mice in model group was increased significantly. The content of MCMV DNA was increased, and the expression of IFN-γ and MCP-1 was also increased significantly. Compared with the mice in MCMV group, the pathological changes of the lung tissues of simvastatin groups showed that the inflammatory cells were decreased. The expression of TLR-2 was down-regulated. The content of MCMV DNA was decreased, and the levels of IFN-γ and MCP-1 were also decreased significantly. At the same time, the expression of TLR-2 and the content of MCMV DNA in SMV1 group were less than those in SMV2 and SMV3 groups (P<0.05), and no statistically significant difference between SMV2 and SMV3 groups was observed. CONCLUSION: Simvastatin down-regulates the TLR-2 signaling pathway, and reduces the expression of TLR-2 and replication of MCMV DNA, thus attenuating the pathological damage of the lung tissue. Early intervention with simvastatin plays an important role in preventing the infection of MCMV and reducing the inflammation.  相似文献

AIM: To determine the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), tissue inhibitor of me-talloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) and collagen type IV (IV-C) in the lung of rats with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and to investigate the mechanism of lung injury in MODS. METHODS: Adult male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats (n=40) were randomly divided into sham control group and cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) model group. The rats in CLP group were divided into 4 subgroups as different intervals (6 h, 12 h, 24 h and 48 h), and there were 8 rats in each group. The rat model of MODS was established by CLP. All rats were sacrificed at various intervals. The functions of the liver, kidney and lung were determined by blood biochemical and blood gas analysis. The morphological changes of the lung tissues were observed with HE staining. The serum levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, MMP-9 and TIMP-1 were measured by ELISA. The expression of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 in the lung tissues was detected by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry, and the expression of IV-C in the lung tissues was detected by immunofluorescence and Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with sham control group, the functions of the liver, kidney and lung were damaged at different degrees in model groups. No histopathological change in the lung tissues of sham control group was found, and the lung injury was serious in model groups. Compared with sham control group, the serum levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, MMP-9 and TIMP-1 in model groups increased significantly (P<0.05) and peaked at the interval of 12~24 h after modeling (P<0.01). The expression of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 in the lung tissues of model groups increased, and peaked at 12 and 24 h, respectively (P<0.01). The protein level of IV-C in MODS 6 h group was not changed as compared with control group, while that at the interval of 12~48 h after modeling was significantly decreased and dropped to the lowest at 24 h (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: MMP-9 and TIMP-1 play important roles in lung injury of MODS rats by regulating the synthesis and decomposition of IV-C which is the main component of extracellular matrix.  相似文献

AIM: To observe the changes of endogenous hydrogen sulfide/cystathionine-γ-lyase (H2S/CSE) system while acute lung injury induced by LPS in rats. METHODS: Eighty rats were randomly divided into six groups (n=8): Ⅰ, control group;Ⅱ, LPS 1 h group; Ⅲ, LPS 3 h group; Ⅳ, LPS 6 h group; Ⅴ, LPS 9 h group; Ⅵ, LPS 12 h group. The ALI model of rats was prepared with LPS. The rats were respectively killed at 1, 3, 6, 9 or 12 h after administration of LPS. The morphological changes of lung tissues were observed by light and electron microscope. The lung coefficient and the wet-to-dry weight ratio were measured. The contents of IL-1β and IL-10 in serum, the H2S level in plasma and the CSE activity in lung tissue were respectively detected. RESULTS: ⑴ In LPS 1 h group, the morphology, the lung coefficient, the wet-to-dry weight ratio, the H2S level and the CSE activity showed no changes compared with the control group. The contents of IL-1β and IL-10 were increased compared with the control group (IL-1β, P<0.05;IL-10, P<0.01). ⑵ In LPS 3 h, 6 h, 9 h and 12 h groups, compared with the control group, the lung tissues were significantly damaged, the lung coefficient and the wet-to-dry weight ratio were significantly increased respectively (LPS 3 h, P<0.05; LPS 6 h, 9 h, 12 h, P<0.01). The contents of IL-1β and IL-10 in serum were markedly increased (P<0.01). The H2S level in plasma and the CSE activity in lung tissue were significantly decreased (P<0.01).CONCLUSION: The changes of inflammatory cytokines may be the pathological foundation of the ALI induced by LPS and the endogenous hydrogen sulfide/cystathionine-γ-lyase system is possibly involved in the formation of the ALI.  相似文献

AIM: To evaluate the effect of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) antagonist etanercept on bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis in mice.METHODS: Forty-five Kunming female mice were randomly divided into 3 groups: the mice in control group were intraperitoneally injected with vehicle and intratracheally administered with saline aerosol, the mice in bleomycin group were intraperitoneally injected with vehicle and intratracheally administered with bleomycin (3 mg/kg) aerosol, and the mice in bleomycin+etanercept group were intraperitoneally injected with etanercept (4 mg/kg) every 3 d and intratracheally administered with bleomycin aerosol. All animals were sacrificed 28 d after treatments. The left lung was fixed in 10% neutral formalin and then stained with hematoxylin-eosin or Masson’s trichrome for the pathological examination. The tissues of right lung were sampled for measuring the content of hydroxyproline (HYP) by the method of alkaline hydrolysis. The serum concentrations of TNF-α and TGF-β were detected by ELISA. Total tissue protein was extracted for examination of ERK1/2, JNK and p38 by Western blotting.RESULTS: Etanercept prevented the collagen accumulation under the airway epithelium and decreased the scores of lung inflammation and fibrosis induced by bleomycin with significantly reduced the levels of tissue HYP, serum TNF-α and serum TGF-β. The protein phosphorylations of ERK/JNK/p38 in the lung tissues were remarkably decreased compared with BLM group.CONCLUSION: Etanercept decreases the phosphorylations of ERK1/2/JNK/p38 via inhibiting the expression of TNF-α and TGF-β. Etanercept might be useful in the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis.  相似文献

AIM: To explore the effects of exogenously applied hydrogen sulfide (H2S)on expression of urotensin II (U-II)in rats with ovalbumin-induced acute asthma. METHODS: Twenty-four male SD rats were randomly divided into control group, asthma group and NaHS treatment group (all n=8). At the 28th day after ovalbumin sensitization, the pulmonary function was measured. The pathological changes in the lung tissues were observed. The contents of U-II in plasma, lung tissues and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF)was also detected.RESULTS: The peak expiratory flow (PEF) was(6.5±0.1)L/s,(2.9±0.7)L/s and(5.7±0.5)L/s in control group, asthma group and NaHS treatment group, respectively. No statistical difference of the plasma U-II levels was observed among the three groups. In asthma group, the content of U-II in lung tissues was(43.8±2.0)ng/L and that in BALF was(58.0±12.3)ng/L, both of which were significantly higher than those in control group . In NaHS treatment group, the content of U-II in lung tissues was(14.0±1.9)ng/L and that in BALF was(20.2±6.7)ng/L, both of which were significantly lower than those in asthma grou p (F=337.68 and F=38.433, respectiuely, both P<0.01). The pathological score of the lung tissues in asthma group was 3(2-4), significantly higher than that in control group and NaHS treatment group . The positive correlations between the contents of U-II in lung tissues or BALF and the pathological scores were observed (r=0.746,r=0.714, respectively, both P<0.01). Significantly negative correlations between the contents of U-II in lung tissues or BALF and PEF were also found (r=-0.911 and r=-0.767, respectively, both P<0.01).CONCLUSION: U-II, a mediator acting via the way of paracrine or autocrine, may play a role in the pathogenesis of asthma in this animal model. The exogenous application of H2S may play a regulatory role in asthma through inhibiting U-II to attenuate the inflammatory responses in asthma and exert protective effect on the pulmonary functions.  相似文献

AIM: To study the production of intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1), E-selectin and P-selectin in serum, lung tissues and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)of acute lung injury(ALI) model and to observe the effects of ambroxol combined with low-dose heparin on the changes of the 3 factors above.METHODS: Twenty-four healthy rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups: normal saline control group (NC), oleic acid injury group (OA), ambroxol+ heparin treatment group (AH). The rabbit ALI model was induced by oleic acid injection through auricular vein. Partial pressure of O2 in artery(PaO2) was analyzed.The concentrations of ICAM-1 and E-selectin were detected by ELISA.The apoptosis index(AI) was measured by TUNEL method.The expression of P-selectin was determined by immunohistochemical method.The ultrastructural changes of the lung tissues were observed under electron microscope, and the lung wet/dry ratio(W/D) was calculated.RESULTS: PaO2 in AH group and OA group was significantly lower (P<0.01) than that in NC group, and PaO2 in AH group was significantly higher than that in OA group (P<0.01). The concentrations of ICAM-1 and E-selectin in serum, lung tissues and BALF, and AI and W/D in lung tissues in AH group were higher (P<0.05 or P<0.01) than those in NC group, and was lower than those in OA group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). In NC group, no significant change of the above parameters at all time points was observed (P>0.05). In OA group, PaO2 was significantly decreased (P<0.01) with the pathological process developed, and the concentrations of ICAM-1 and E-selectin were significantly increased. In AH group, PaO2 was decreased (P<0.05),and the concentrations of ICAM-1 and E-selectin were increased with the process of ALI developed. The P-selectin expression in lung tissues of OA group was distributed mainly in inflammatory cells, capillary endothelial cells and plasma. From low to high levels, the order was NC group < AH group < OA group in the expression of P-selectin. The most obvious apoptosis was observed in OA group. No apoptosis or occasional positive cells were found in NC group. The apoptotic rate in AH group was significantly reduced compared with that in OA group.CONCLUSION: In ALI induced by OA, ICAM-1, E-selectin and P-selectin are significantly increased and are involved in the occurrence and development of ALI. Ambroxol combined with low-dose heparin reduces the levels of ICAM-1, E-selectin and P-selectin, the pulmonary edema and the lung injury, improves pulmonary functions, and plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of acute lung injury.  相似文献

AIM:To explore the effects of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells-conditioned medium (MSCs CdM) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury. METHODS:Lung injury was induced in mice by intraperitoneal injection of LPS. The mice were given a tail vein injection of MSCs CdM or normal saline 1 h after LPS administration. The mice were killed by an intraperitoneal injection of pentobarbital 6 h after LPS injection for either bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and serum collection or lung histological analysis. RESULTS:Compared with control group, the BALF levels of protein, interleukin-10 (IL-10) and keratinocyte growth factor (KGF), the serum levels of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and IL-6, and the myeloperoxidase (MOP) activity in the lung tissues were significantly higher in LPS group, and severe pathological damages in the lung tissues were also observed. Treatment with MSCs CdM significantly reduced the BALF prtein level, the seum TNF-α and IL-6　levels and the lung MPO activity, and attenuated the lung pathological damages, but further increased the levels of IL-10 and KGF in the BALF. CONCLUSION:Treatment with MSCs CdM attenuates the lung injuries induced by LPS, which may be via regulating the expression of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10 and KGF.  相似文献

AIM:To observe the inhibitory effects of vinpocetine injection on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) in the rats and to explore the underlying mechanisms.METHODS:Male Wistar rats (n=50) were randomly divided into 5 groups:control group,ALI model group,and low,medium and high doses of vinpocetine treatment groups.The rats in control group were injected with 0.9% NaCl at 5 mL/kg through femoral vein.The rats in ALI model group received LPS at 10 mg/kg through femoral vein.After injected with LPS,the rats in vinpocetine treatment groups received vinpocetine at 0.2 mg/kg,0.7 mg/kg or 1.2 mg/kg via intraperitoneal injection.The pathological changes of the lung tissues were observed under microscope with HE staining.The cell apoptosis in the lung tissues was detected by TUNEL staining.Myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity was measured by the method of spectrophotometry.The protein expression of NF-κB,ICAM-1,VCAM-1,Bax and Bcl-2 was determined by Western blot.RESULTS:Compared with ALI group,administration of vinpocetine significantly attenuated the structural injury of the lung and the infiltration of inflammatory cells.Moreover,vinpocetine decreased cell apoptosis and MPO activity in the lung tissues of ALI rats.In addition,the protein expression of NF-κB,ICAM-1,VCAM-1 and Bax was inhibited after vinpocetin treatment,whereas Bcl-2 expression was increased.CONCLUSION:Vinpocetine attenuates LPS-lung injury by reducing MPO activity and regulating NF-κB,ICAM-1,VCAM-1,Bax and Bcl-2 protein expression.  相似文献

AIM:To explore the role of imbalance of local renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in lung injury by observing the changes of angiotensin Ⅱ type 1 receptor (AT1R) and Mas receptor protein expression in the lung and the degree of lung injury subject to limb ischemia-reperfusion (LIR) in the mice.METHODS:Male ICR mice (n=42,8 weeks old) were randomly assigned into 7 groups (6 in each group),including control group and 6 model groups with LIR of 0.5 h,1 h,2 h,4 h,6 h and 12 h reperfusion.Tourniquets were used to block the blood flow of the hind limbs of the ICR mice and were released after 2 h ischemia to initiate reperfusion.The mice were sacrificed by eyeball blood withdrawal at different time points after reperfusion.The organ coefficient and wet/dry weight ratio (W/D) of the lung tissue were calculated.Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was taken for cell counting and protein concentration measurement.The histopathological changes of the lung tissues was observed,and the pathological score was calculated.The protein expression of AT1R and Mas receptor in the lung tissues was determined by Western blot.RESULTS:The organ coefficient,W/D of lung tissue,and cell number and protein concentration in BALF of model groups were significantly higher than those in control group after LIR.The pathological changes were found in the lung tissue of model mice,including alveolar capillary dilation and congestion,edema,inflammatory cell infiltration in peripheral vascular,alveolar and bronchial walls,alveolar septal thickening and inflammatory cell infiltration.The lung injury score was elevated gradually along with the extension of reperfusion time.The protein expression of AT1R began to increase at reperfusion time points of 0.5 h and 1 h.With the extension of reperfusion time,the protein expression of AT1R decreased gradually.Conversely,the protein expression of Mas receptor increased gradually with prolonged reperfusion.CONCLUSION:LIR induces acute lung injury gradually.The imbalance of AT1R and Mas receptor expression may be involved in the damage process.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of caveolin-1 (Cav-1) scaffolding domain peptide, cavtratin, on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced mouse acute lung injury and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) activity. METHODS: Adult male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into 6 groups (n=8 to 10):control, Antennapedia internalization sequence (AP), LPS, LPS+hemin, LPS+ hemin+cavtratin and LPS+hemin+cavtratin+zinc protoporphyrin IX (ZnPP) groups. After LPS administration for 24 h, the lung pathological changes, the wet/dry weight (W/D) ratio of lung tissues, total cell number in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and serum lactate dehydrogenase activity were measured. The co-localization of HO-1 and Cav-1 was displayed by immunofluorescence, and the HO-1 activity were detected. The mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, MCP-1 and iNOS was detected by real-time PCR. RESULTS: The mice in LPS+hemin+cavtratin group had the decreased interaction between HO-1 and Cav-1, and the increased HO-1 activity compare with LPS group (P<0.05). Compared with LPS group, the pulmonary damage was attenuated in LPS+hemin+cavtratin group, and the injury indexes, including W/D ratio, total cell number in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and lactate dehydrogenase activity in the serum, and the mRNA expression of inflammatory cytokines all decreased (P<0.05). HO-1 activity inhibitor ZnPP abolished the above protective effect of cavtratin on the lung tissues with LPS-induced acute lung injury. CONCLUSION: Cavtratin has beneficial effects on the lung with LPS-induced acute injury by restoring the HO-1 activity.  相似文献
