Objectives: Sepsis-associated acute lung injury (ALI) occurs with the highest morbidity and carries the highest mortality rates among the pathogenies of ALI. Ruscogenin (RUS) has been found to exhibit anti-inflammation property and rescue lipopolysaccharide-induced ALI, but little is known about its role in sepsis-triggered ALI. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential role of RUS in sepsis-induced ALI and the probable mechanism.
Methods: Mice model of cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) was replicated, and three doses of RUS (0.01, 0.03 and 0.1 mg/kg) were administrated 1 h before CLP surgeries.
Key Findings: RUS significantly extended the survival time and attenuated the lung pathological injury, oedema and vascular leakage in sepsis-induced ALI mice. RUS efficiently decreased the level of MPO in lung tissue and the WBC, NEU counts in BALF. In addition, RUS rescued the expression of VE-cadherin and p120-catenin and suppressed the TLR4/Src signalling in lung tissue.
Conclusions: RUS attenuated sepsis-induced ALI via protecting pulmonary endothelial barrier and regulating TLR4/Src/p120-catenin/VE-cadherin signalling pathway.

Background: Sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI) accounts for about 40% of ALI, accompanied by alveolar epithelial injury. The study aimed to reveal the role of circular RNA_0114428 (circ_0114428) in sepsis-induced ALI.
Methods: Human pulmonary alveolar epithelial cells (HPAEpiCs) were treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to mimic a sepsis-induced ALI cell model.

Sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI) remains a leading cause of mortality in critically ill patients. Macrophages, key modulators of immune responses, play a dual role in both promoting and resolving inflammation. Exosomes, small extracellular vesicles released by various cells, carry bioactive molecules that influence macrophage polarization and immune responses.

Sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI) is a common acute and severe reason of death in the intensive care unit. Although the pathogenesis is complicated and multifactorial, elevated inflammation and oxidative stress are considered as fundamental mechanisms for the progression of ALI. Anemonin is a natural compound with diverse biological properties including anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects.

Background: Sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe clinical condition accompanied with high mortality. Tangeretin, which is widely found in citrus fruits, has been reported to exert antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, whether tangeretin protects against sepsis-induced ALI and the potential mechanisms remain unclear.

Sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI) is a complex and life-threatening condition characterized by excessive inflammatory responses, ferroptosis, and oxidative stress. A comprehensive investigation and effective therapeutic strategies are crucial for managing this condition. In this study, we established in vivo sepsis models using lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in wild-type (WT) mice and triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) knockout (TREM2-KO) mice to assess lung morphology, oxidative stress, and ferroptosis.
