Aim: Thus far, the anti-inflammatory effect of vanillin in acute lung injury (ALI) has not been studied. This study aimed to investigate the effect of vanillin in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI. Results & methodology: Our study detected the anti-inflammatory effects of vanillin by ELISA and western blot, respectively. Pretreatment of mice with vanillin significantly attenuated LPS-stimulated lung histopathological changes, myeloperoxidase activity and expression levels of proinflammatory cytokines by inhibiting the phosphorylation activities of ERK1/2, p38, AKT and NF-κB p65. In addition, vanillin inhibited LPS-induced TNF-α and IL-6 expression in RAW264.7 cells via ERK1/2, p38 and NF-κB signaling. Conclusion: Vanillin can inhibit macrophage activation and lung inflammation, which suggests new insights for clinical treatment of ALI.

The instillation of Escherichia coli endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide) intranasally into mice produced severe lung lesions and a substantial increase in lung weight. Lung inflammation was maximal about 3 days after endotoxin instillation. Intraperitoneal injection of prednisone, cortisone and hydrocortisone sharply suppressed the lung inflammation. Five milligrams of prednisone produced a maximal anti-inflammatory effect when injected 24 and 48 hours after the endotoxin. Administration of large doses of Butazolidin also produced a modest effect on the lung inflammation. It is suggested that locally applied endotoxin alters blood vessel permeability of the lungs, resulting in hemorrhage, edema and exudation. The anti-inflammatory steroids reverse or inhibit this effect, perhaps by maintaining the integrity of the capillaries. Possible use and significance of this experimental anti-inflammatory system is discussed.
