Purpose: To investigate the effect of juglone on LPS induced lung injury in a mouse model and in TC 1cell line.Methods: Edema formation in lungs were measured by determination of lung wet/dry weight. Expressions of various proteins were assessed by western blot assay, while Sirt1 level was assessed using immunohistochemistry. Mice were randomly assigned to nine groups of 10 mice each: normal control, untreated and seven juglone treatment groups. Acute lung injury was induced in mice by injecting LPS (10 mg/kg) via intraperitoneal route (ip). The treatment groups were given 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 100 μM of juglone, ip, respectively.Results: The levels of MMP-9, IL-6, IL-1β and iNOS were significantly higher in acute lung injury induced mice compared than the control group (p < 0.05). Treatment of the mice with juglone significantly decreased LPS-induced up-regulation of inflammatory cytokines in a dose-dependentmanner. The production of inflammatory cytokines was almost completely inhibited in the mice treated with 100 mg/kg dose of juglone, while treatment of the LPS-stimulated TC 1 cells with juglone upregulated the expression of Sirt1 mRNA. Down-regulation of Sirt1 expression by siRNA inhibited the effect of juglone on LPS-induced increase in inflammatory cytokine production.Conclusion: Juglone prevents lung injury in mice via up-regulation of Sirt1 expression. Therefore, juglone might be useful for the development of a treatment strategy for lung injury.
