Background: CXCL3 (C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 3) is a member of chemokines family, which binds to the receptor to recruit neutrophils to lungs, thus participating in the pathogenesis of asthmatic lung. The role of CXCL3 in sepsis-induced acute lung injury is investigated here.
Methods: Human lung epithelial cell line (BEAS-2B) and human pulmonary artery endothelial cell line (HPAEC) were treated with lipopolysaccharides (LPS). MTT and flow cytometry were performed to detect cell viability and apoptosis, respectively. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) were used to assess the levels of inflammatory factors.
Results: Treatment with LPS resulted in the decrease of cell viability in BEAS-2B and HPAEC. CXCL3 was particularly upregulated in LPS-treated BEAS-2B and HPAE cells. Knockdown of CXCL3 enhanced viability and suppressed apoptosis i006E LPS-treated BEAS-2B and HPAE cells. Knockdown of CXCL3 also upregulated TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-18 in LPS-treated BEAS-2B and HPAE cells. Moreover, knockdown of CXCL3 suppressed the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) signaling in LPS-treated BEAS-2B and HPAE cells through downregulation of p-ERK1/2, p-p38, and p-JNK. On the other hand, overexpression of CXCL3 caused completely opposite results in LPS-treated BEAS-2B and HPAE cells.
Conclusion: Knockdown of CXCL3 exerted antiapoptotic and anti-inflammatory effects against LPS-treated BEAS-2B and HPAE cells, at least partially, through inactivation of MAPKs signaling, suggesting a potential strategy for the intervention of sepsis-induced acute lung injury.

Airway inflammation plays a key role in the pathogenesis and development of asthma. Stanniocalcin-1 (STC-1) has powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic functions but its impact on the airway inflammation in asthma lacks evidence. Here, we investigated the effect and potential mechanism of STC-1 on airway inflammation through asthmatic mice model and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated BEAS-2B cells.

Article Synopsis
- Asthma is a long-term inflammatory condition that causes changes in the airways, and researchers are investigating how epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) contributes to these changes in asthma patients, particularly focusing on the effects of flavonoids like Luteolin (Lut).
- The study aims to determine whether Lut can inhibit airway remodeling in asthma and explore the role of β-catenin in this process through both laboratory (cell and animal) experiments.
- Various methods, including cell migration assays, gene expression analysis, and the evaluation of inflammatory cells in mice, were used to assess Lut’s effects on EMT and to understand its regulatory influence on β-catenin signaling in asthma.

Background: Acute lung injury (ALI) is a life-threatening condition characterized by excessive pulmonary inflammation, yet its precise pathophysiology remains elusive. Pyroptosis, a programmed cell death mechanism controlled by gasdermin D (GSDMD), has been linked to the etiology of ALI. This study investigated the regulatory functions of the transcription factor E-twenty-six variant gene 5 (ETV5) and GSDMD in ALI.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Acute lung injury (ALI) is a serious health-threatening syndrome of intense inflammatory response in the lungs, with progression leading to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Dachengqi decoction dispensing granule (DDG) has a pulmonary protective role, but its potential modulatory mechanism to alleviate ALI needs further excavation.
Aim Of The Study: This study aims to investigate the effect and potential mechanism of DDG on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI models in vivo and in vitro.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a familiar disease, and owns high morbidity and mortality, which critically damages the health of patients. Ubiquitin-specific peptidase 8 (USP8) is a pivotal protein to join in the regulation of some diseases. In a previous report, it was determined that USP8 expression is down-regulated in LPS-treated BEAS-2B cells, and USP8 restrains inflammatory response and accelerates cell viability.
