Suppressed nuclear factor-kappa B alleviates lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury through downregulation of CXCR4 mediated by microRNA-194.

ABSTRACT: Acute lung injury (ALI) is a highly lethal pulmonary disease that causes edema, hypoxemia and respiratory failure. Recent evidence indicates that nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-?B) plays a crucial role in ALI development. However, the regulatory mechanism of NF-?B on ALI remains enigmatic. In this study, we investigated potential molecular mechanism of NF-?B on ALI induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). BALB/c mice were subjected to intratracheal spraying of LPS to generate an ALI mode, with the activity of NF-?B in mice tissues being detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the number of inflammatory cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid being counted. Then, the macrophage cell line RAW264.7 exposed to LPS were treated with ammonium pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate (PDTC) (inhibitor of NF-?B), miR-194 mimic, or oe-chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) separately or in combination. After that, ELISA and reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) were used to detect the expression level of IL-1?, IL-6, TNF-?, miR-194 and CXCR4, respectively. In addition, the targeting relationship between miR-194 and CXCR4 was verified by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. The dry/wet ratio of lung and the MPO activity were also measured to assess the inflammatory response in mice. Activation of NF-?B down-regulated the miR-194 expression in LPS-induced ALI. Overexpression of miR-194 alleviated LPS-induced ALI and reduced the expression of inflammatory factors IL-1?, IL-6 and TNF-? via targeting CXCR4. In LPS-induced ALI, NF-?B mediates the CXCR4 expression by inhibiting the expression of miR-194, thus promoting the inflammatory injury of lung.

Acute lung injury (ALI) is a highly lethal pulmonary disease that causes edema, hypoxemia and respiratory failure. Recent evidence indicates that nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) plays a crucial role in ALI development. However, the regulatory mechanism of NF-κB on ALI remains enigmatic. In this study, we investigated potential molecular mechanism of NF-κB on ALI induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS).

Project description:BackgroundResolvin D1 (RvD1) is a newly found anti-inflammatory bioactive compound derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids. The current study aimed to explore the protective effect of RvD1 on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) and its possible mechanism.MethodsBoth in vivo and in vitro studies were conducted. Male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into control group (saline), LPS group (LPS 5 mg/kg), RvD1 group (RvD1 5 μg/kg + LPS 5 mg/kg), and blockage group (Boc-MLP 5 μg/kg + RvD1 5 μg/kg + LPS 5 mg/kg). Boc-MLP is a RvD1 receptor blocker. The mice were intraperitoneally injected with these drugs and recorded for general condition for 48 h, while the blood and kidneys were harvested at 2, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h time points, respectively (n = 6 in each group at each time point). Human proximal tubule epithelial cells (HK-2) were randomly divided into control group (medium only), LPS group (LPS 5 μg/ml), RvD1 group (RvD1 10 ng/ml + LPS 5 μg/ml), and blockage group (Boc-MLP 10 ng/ml + RvD1 10 ng/ml + LPS 5 μg/ml). The cells were harvested for RNA at 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24 h time points, respectively (n = 6 in each group at each time point). Blood creatinine was tested by using an Abbott i-STAT portable blood gas analyzer. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) level was detected by ELISA. Kidney pathology was observed under hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and transmission electron microscope (TEM). We hired immune-histological staining, Western blotting, and fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction to detect the expression of RvD1 receptor ALX, nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway as well as caspase-3. Kidney apoptosis was evaluated by TUNEL staining.ResultsRvD1 receptor ALX was detected on renal tubular epithelials. Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that RvD1 improved 48 h animal survival (80%) compared with LPS group (40%) and RvD1 blockage group (60%), while RvD1 also ameliorated kidney pathological injury in HE staining and TEM scan. After LPS stimulation, the mRNA expression of toll-like receptor 4, myeloid differentiation factor 88, and TNF-α in both mice kidneys and HK-2 cells were all up-regulated, while RvD1 substantially inhibited the up-regulation of these genes. Western blotting showed that the phosphorylated-IκB/IκB ratio in LPS group was significantly higher than that in the control group, which was inhibited in the RvD1 group. RvD1 could inhibit the up-regulation of cleaved-caspase-3 protein stimulated by LPS, which was prohibited in RvD1 blockage group. RvD1 group also had a lower proportion of apoptotic nuclei in mice kidney by TUNEL staining compared with LPS group.ConclusionIn LPS-induced AKI, RvD1 could decrease TNF-α level, ameliorate kidney pathological injury, protect kidney function, and improve animal survival by down-regulating NF-κB inflammatory signal as well as inhibiting renal cell apoptosis.
