We have examined the mechanism underlying amelioration of sepsis-induced acute lung injury by chelidonine in newborn mice. To this end, a sepsis model was established using cecal ligation and puncture in newborn mice. The sepsis-induced acute lung injury was associated with an increased inflammatory infiltration and pulmonary congestion, as well as abnormal alveolar morphology. The lung injury-associated increased tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-1β in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and lung, the markers of inflammatory infiltration and pulmonary congestion, diminished by chelidonine treatment. Chelidonine administration also downregulated protein levels of toll-like receptor 4, myeloid differentiation factor 88, phosphorylated nuclear factor-kappa B, and nuclear factor-kappa B that are elevated in response to sepsis. In conclusion, chelidonine provides a potential therapeutic strategy for newborn mice with acute lung injury.

Acute lung injury refers to the injury of alveolar epithelial cells and pulmonary capillary endothelial cells caused by noncardiac factors. To better combat the disease, there is an urgent need to develop more effective drugs. Sepsis is a syndrome of systemic inflammation caused by infection, and the molecular mechanism by which sepsis induces acute lung injury has not been clearly determined. Bilobalide is a unique component of Ginkgo biloba. Although it has multiple biological functions, its role in sepsis induced acute lung injury needs further study. In this study, we found that bilobalide alleviated cecal ligation and puncture induced acute lung injury. Additionally, bilobalide regulated cecal ligation and puncture induced lung injury through toll-like receptor 4/myeloid differentiation factor 88/nuclear factor-kappa B pathway. We therefore conclude that bilobalide may be a potential drug for the treatment of sepsis induced acute lung injury.

Purpose: The prevention of radiation-induced pulmonary toxicity may help to improve radiation therapy in the cancer patient. The aim of this study was to investigate the pulmonary protective effects of caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), an antioxidant, on radiation-induced lung injury in rats. Methods:30 Wistar albino rats were divided into three groups and treated with saline, Radiation (RT) and RT + CAPE respectively. All rats were treated with CAPE (50 ?mol/kg i.p.) or saline. The first dose of CAPE was injected 24 h before radiation and application continued daily, with radiation in second day and 2 days more after the radiation treatment. Radiation dose was 800 cGy for total body. At 72 hr after the last radiation application, under general anesthesia using ip ketamine, the lungs were removed immediately after decapitation. After sacrification, antioxidant enzymes catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities and malondiadehyde (MDA) levels were evaluated in lung tissue. Results: The level of malondialdehyde (MDA) was higher in the RT group (233.4±1.5 nmol/g protein) than in both the control (131.8±0.92) and the RT + CAPE (151.4±1.8) groups (P < 0.001). However, CAT activity was decreased in the RT group (7.26±0.27 Umg protein) compared with control (8.49±0.51) and increased again in the RT + CAPE group (8.31±0.56; P < 0.001). In accord with CAT activity, SOD activity in the RT group (0.42±0.07 nmolMDA/g wet tissue) was different from the control (0.78±0.02) and RT + CAPE (0.86±0.06) groups (P < 0.001). Conclusion: CAPE aplication with radiation therapy attenuated radiation induced pulmonary injury in vivo, possibly by its antioxidant effect.
