ABSTRACT
Acute lung injury is the leading cause of paraquat (PQ) poisoning-related mortality. The mechanism by which macrophages are involved in PQ-induced acute lung injury remains unclear. In recent years, the role of metabolic reprogramming in macrophage functional transformation has received significant attention. The current study aimed to identify the role of altered macrophage glucose metabolism and molecular mechanisms in PQ poisoning-induced acute lung injury. We established a model of acute lung injury in PQ-intoxicated mice via the intraperitoneal injection of PQ. PQ exposure induces macrophage M1 polarization and promotes the release of inflammatory factors, which causes the development of acute lung injury in mice. In vitro analysis revealed that PQ altered glucose metabolism, which could be reversed by siRNA transfection to silence the expression of HK1, a key enzyme in glucose metabolism. RNA sequencing revealed that the ERK/MAPK pathway was the crucial molecular mechanism of PQ pathogenesis. Further, U0126, an ERK inhibitor, could inhibit PQ-induced HK1 activation and macrophage M1 polarization. These findings provide novel insights into the previously unrecognized mechanism of ERK/MAPK-HK1 activation in PQ poisoning.
