Ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) is an important critical care complication. Nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activation, a critical signaling event in the inflammatory response, has been implicated in the tracking of the lung injury. The present study aimed to determine the effect of simultaneous pretreatment with enteral aspirin and omega-3 fatty acid on lung injury in a murine VILI model. We compared the lung inflammation after the sequential administration of lipopolysaccharides and mechanical ventilation between the pretreated simultaneous enteral aspirin and omega-3 fatty acid group and the non-pretreatment group, by quantifying NF-κB activation using an in vivo imaging system to detect bioluminescence signals. The pretreated group with enteral aspirin and omega-3 fatty acid exhibited a smaller elevation of bioluminescence signals than the non-pretreated group (p = 0.039). Compared to the non-pretreated group, the pretreatment group with simultaneous enteral aspirin and omega-3 fatty acid showed reduced expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor-α, in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (p = 0.038). Histopathological lung injury scores were also lower in the pretreatment groups compared to the only injury group. Simultaneous pretreatment with enteral administration of aspirin and omega-3 fatty acid could be a prevention method for VILI in patients with impending mechanical ventilation therapy.

Acute lung injury initiated systemic inflammation leads to sepsis. Septic mice show a series of degenerative changes in lungs as demonstrated by pulmonary congestion, alveolar collapse, inflammatory cell infiltration, and increased wet-todry weight in lungs. 6-Gingerol ameliorates histopathological changes and clinical outcome of the sepsis. The increase in the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1 beta, interleukin-6, and interleukin-18 in septic mice were reduced by administration with 6-Gingerol. Also, 6-Gingerol attenuates sepsis-induced increase of malonaldehyde and decrease of catalase, superoxide, and glutathione. Enhanced phospho-p65, reduced nuclear factor erythropoietin-2-related factor 2, and heme oxygenase 1 in septic mice were reversed by administration with 6-Gingerol. In conclusion, 6-Gingerol demonstrates anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects against sepsis associated acute lung injury through inactivation of nuclear factor-kappa B and activation of nuclear-factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 pathways.
