ABSTRACT
Acute Lung Injury (ALI) manifests as an acute exacerbation of pulmonary inflammation with high mortality. The potential application of Danshensu methyl ester (DME, synthesized in our lab) in ameliorating ALI has not been elucidated. Our results demonstrated that DME led to a remarkable reduction in lung injury. DME promoted a marked increase in antioxidant enzymes, like superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione (GSH), accompanied by a substantial decrease in reactive oxygen species (ROS), myeloperoxidase (MPO), and malondialdehyde (MDA). Moreover, DME decreased the production of IL-1ß, TNF-α and IL-6, in vitro and in vivo. TLR4 and MyD88 expression is reduced in the DME-treated cells or tissues, which further leading to a decrease of p-p65 and p-IκBα. Meanwhile, DME effectively facilitated an elevation in cytoplasmic p65 expression. In summary, DME could ameliorate ALI by its antioxidant functionality and anti-inflammation effects through TLR4/NF-κB, which implied that DME may be a viable medicine for lung injury.
