ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Xuebijing (XBJ) is widely applied in the treatment of Acute Lung Injury (ALI). This study focused on the potential mechanism of XBJ in Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI.METHODS:
The rat ALI model was established by injection of LPS (10 mg/kg) and pretreated with XBJ (4 mL/kg) three days before LPS injection. BEAS-2B cell line was stimulated with LPS (1 µg/mL) and ATP (5 mM) to induce pyroptosis, and XBJ (2 g/L) was pretreated 24h before induction. The improvement effects of XBJ on pulmonary edema, morphological changes, and apoptosis in ALI lung tissue were evaluated by lung wet/dry weight ratio, HE-staining, and TUNEL staining. Inflammatory cytokines in lung tissue and cell supernatant were determined by ELISA. pyroptosis was detected by flow cytometry. Meanwhile, the expressions of miR-181d-5p, SPP1, p-p65, NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1, p20, and GSDMD-N in tissues and cells were assessed by RT-qPCR and immunoblotting. The relationship between miR-181d-5p and SPP1 in experimental inflammation was reported by dual luciferase assay.RESULTS:
XBJ could improve inflammation and pyroptosis of ALI by inhibiting contents of inflammatory cytokines, and levels of inflammation- and pyroptosis-related proteins. Mechanistically, XBJ could up-regulate miR-181d-5p and inhibit SPP1 in ALI. miR-181d-5p can target the regulation of SPP1. Depressing miR-181d-5p compensated for the ameliorative effect of XBJ on ALI, and overexpressing SPP1 suppressed the attenuating effect of XBJ on LPS-induced inflammation and pyroptosis.CONCLUSION:
XBJ can regulate the miR-181d-5p/SPP1 axis to improve inflammatory response and pyroptosis in ALI.Palavras-chave
