During cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), pulmonary ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury can cause acute lung injury (ALI). Our previous research confirmed that abnormal high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) release after CPB was closely related to ALI. However, the mechanism underlying the HMGB1-mediated induction of ALI after CPB is unclear. Our previous study found that HMGB1 binds Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), leading to lung injury, but direct evidence of a role for these proteins in the mechanism of CPB-induced lung injury has not been shown. We examined the effects of inhibiting HMGB1 or reducing TLR4 expression on CPB-induced lung injury in rats administered anti-HMBG1 antibody or TLR4 short-hairpin RNA (shTLR4), respectively. In these rat lungs, we studied the histologic changes and levels of interleukin- (IL-) 1β, tumour necrosis factor- (TNF-) α, HMGB1, and TLR4 after CPB. After CPB, the lung tissues from untreated rats showed histologic features of injury and significantly elevated levels of IL-1β, TNF-α, HMGB1, and TLR4. Treatment with anti-HMGB1 attenuated the CPB-induced morphological inflammatory response and protein levels of IL-1β, TNF-α, HMGB1, and TLR4 in the lung tissues and eventually alleviated the ALI after CPB. Treatment with shTLR4 attenuated the CPB-induced morphological inflammatory response and protein levels of IL-1β, TNF-α, and TLR4 in the lung tissues and eventually alleviated the ALI after CPB, but could not alleviate the HMGB1 protein levels induced by CPB. In summary, the present study demonstrated that the HMGB1/TLR4 pathway mediated the development of ALI induced by CPB.

Contrast Induced Nephropathy

With the progress made in the widespread application of interventional radiology procedures, there has been an increasing number of patients who suffer from cardiovascular diseases and go through imaging and interventional treatment with iodine contrast medium (ICM) year by year. In turn, there has been an increasing amount of concern over acute kidney injury (AKI) brought about by ICM. As evidenced by numerous studies, the initiation of inflammatory response plays a critical role in the development of ICM-induced AKI. Correspondingly, the strategy of targeting renal inflammatory response and cytokine release could provide an effective solution to mitigating the ICM-induced AKI. Moreover, Ginsenoside Rb1 (GRb1) constitutes one of the major active components of ginseng and features a wide range of vital biological functions. Judging from the research findings, GRb1 could impose antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects on cardiovascular diseases, in addition to lung, liver and kidney diseases. However, reports on whether GRb1 could impose a protective effect against contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) are absent. In this study, we have examined the therapeutic effects imposed by GRb1 as well as the potential molecular mechanism by establishing an in vivo and in vitro model of CIN. In addition, we have set up a mouse model of CIN through sequential intravenous injection of indomethacin, N(ω)-nitro-Larginine methyl ester (L-NAME), and iopromide. To further enhance the bioavailability of GRb1, we have encapsulated GRb1 with polyethylene glycol (PEG)/poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) nanocarriers to generate GRb1 nanoparticles (NPs) conducting the in vivo experiments. During the in vitro experiments, we have adopted GRb1 to treat NRK-52E cells or cells transfected with the high mobility group box 1 gene (HMGB1) overexpression plasmid. As shown by the in vivo experimental results, GRb1 NPs could evidently improve the renal dysfunction in CIN, diminish the extent of apoptosis of tubular epithelial cells, and reduce the expression of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) and cytokines (tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), interleukin (IL) 6 and IL-1β). In addition, GRb1 NPs are found to be capable of preventing the activation of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/NF-κB signaling pathway triggered by contrast medium. The in vitro experimental results have exactly confirmed the findings of the in vivo experiments. In the meantime, through the observation of the in vitro assays, overexpression of HMGB1 can partially counteract the beneficial effects imposed by GRb1. Judging from our research data, GRb1 could impose a protective effect against CIN by inhibiting inflammatory response via HMGB1/TLR4/NF-κB pathway, whereas HMGB1 constitutes a critical molecular target of GRb1.

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.

Sepsis, with high mortality, induces deleterious organ dysfunction and acute lung injury. Natural compounds show protective effect against sepsis-induced acute lung injury. Juglone, a natural naphthoquinone, demonstrates pharmacological actions as a pro-apoptotic substrate in tumor treatment and anti-inflammation substrate in organ injury. In this study, the influence of juglone on sepsis-induced acute lung injury was investigated. First, a septic mice model was established via cecal ligation and puncture, and then verified via histopathological analysis of lung tissues, the wet/dry mass ratio and myeloperoxidase activity was determined. Cecal ligation and puncture could induce acute lung injury in septic mice, as demonstrated by alveolar damage and increase of wet/dry mass ratio and myeloperoxidase activity. However, intragastric administration juglone attenuated cecal ligation and puncture-induced acute lung injury. Secondly, cecal ligation and puncture-induced increase of inflammatory cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was also alleviated by the administration of juglone. Similarly, the protective effect of juglone against cecal ligation and puncture-induced acute lung injury was accompanied by a reduction of pro-inflammatory factor secretion in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and lung tissues. Cecal ligation and puncture could activate toll-like receptor 4/nuclear factor-kappa B signaling pathway, and administration of juglone suppressed toll-like receptor 4/nuclear factor-kappa B activation. In conclusion, juglone attenuated cecal ligation and puncture-induced lung damage and inflammatory response through inactivation of toll-like receptor 4/nuclear factor-kappa B, suggesting a potential therapeutic strategy in the treatment of sepsis-induced acute lung injury.

Inflammatory Cytokine Production

Influenza A virus infections can cause acute lung injury (ALI) in humans; thus, the identification of potent antiviral agents is urgently required. Herein, the effects of salidroside on influenza A virus-induced ALI were investigated in a murine model. BALB/c mice were intranasally inoculated with H1N1 virus and treated with salidroside. The results of this study show that salidroside treatment (30 and 60 mg/kg) significantly attenuated the H1N1 virus-induced histological alterations in the lung and inhibited inflammatory cytokine production. Salidroside also decreased the wet/dry ratio, viral titers, and Toll-like receptor 4 expression in the lungs. Therefore, salidroside may represent a potential therapeutic reagent for the treatment of influenza A virus-induced ALI.
