Purpose: Endotoxin-induced acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe disease caused by an imbalanced host response to infection. It is necessary to explore novel mechanisms for the treatment of endotoxin-induced ALI. In endotoxin-induced ALI, tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) provides protection through anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptosis, and anti-pyroptosis effects. However, the mechanism of action of TMP in endotoxin-induced ALI remains unclear. Here, we aimed to determine whether TMP can protect the lungs by inhibiting Golgi stress via the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway.
Methods And Results: Using lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated C57BL/6J mice and MLE12 alveolar epithelial cells, we observed that TMP pretreatment attenuated endotoxin-induced ALI. LPS + TMP group showed lesser lung pathological damage and a lower rate of apoptotic lung cells than LPS group. Moreover, LPS + TMP group also showed decreased levels of inflammatory factors and oxidative stress damage than LPS group (P < 0.05). Additionally, LPS + TMP group presented reduced Golgi stress by increasing the Golgi matrix protein 130 (GM130), Golgi apparatus Ca/Mn ATPases (ATP2C1), and Golgin97 expression while decreasing the Golgi phosphoprotein 3 (GOLPH3) expression than LPS group (P < 0.05). Furthermore, TMP pretreatment promoted Nrf2 and HO-1 expression (P < 0.05). Nrf2-knockout mice or Nrf2 siRNA-transfected MLE12 cells were pretreated with TMP to explore how the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway affected TMP-mediated Golgi stress in endotoxin-induced ALI models. We observed that Nrf2 gene silencing partially reversed the alleviating effect of Golgi stress and the pulmonary protective effect of TMP.
Conclusion: Our findings showed that TMP therapy reduced endotoxin-induced ALI by suppressing Golgi stress via the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway in vivo and in vitro.

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition caused by severe infection and often complicates acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and acute lung injury (ALI) due to the collapse of the oxidative and inflammatory balance induced by microbial pathogens, including lipopolysaccharides (LPS). In sepsis-related ARDS/ALI, NADPH oxidase (NOX) and toll-like receptors (TLR) in neutrophils and macrophages are key players in initiating oxidative and inflammatory imbalances. Although NOX and TLR activation has been linked to carbon monoxide (CO), the mechanism by which CO affects sepsis-related ARDS/ALI through NOX and TLR remains unknown.

Acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe inflammatory condition that remains refractory; however, its molecular mechanisms are largely unknown. Previous studies have shown numerous compounds containing 4-indolyl-2-aminopyrimidine that display strong anti-inflammatory properties. In our research, we identified that a 4-Indole-2-Arylaminopyrimidine derivative named "IAAP" suppressed lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation.

Aromadendrin is a phenolic compound with various biological effects such as anti-inflammatory properties. However, its protective effects against acute lung injury (ALI) remain unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the ameliorative effects of aromadendrin in an experimental model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI.

Exogenous polysulfhydryls (R-SH) supplementation and nitric oxide (NO) gas molecules delivery provide essential antioxidant buffering pool components and anti-inflammatory species in cellular defense against injury, respectively. Herein, the intermolecular disulfide bonds in bovine serum albumin (BSA) molecules were reductively cleaved under native and mild conditions to expose multiple sulfhydryl groups (BSA-SH), then sulfhydryl-nitrosylated (R-SNO), and nanoprecipitated to form injectable self-sulfhydrated, nitro-fixed albumin nanoparticles (BSA-SNO NPs), allowing albumin to act as a NO donor reservoir and multiple sulfhydryl group transporter while also preventing unfavorable oxidation and self-cross-linking of polysulfhydryl groups. In two mouse models of ischemia/reperfusion-induced and endotoxin-induced acute liver injury (ALI), a single low dosage of BSA-SNO NPs (-nitrosothiols: 4 μmol·kg) effectively attenuated oxidative stress and systemic inflammation cascades in the upstream pathophysiology of disease progression, thus rescuing dying hepatocytes, regulating host defense, repairing microcirculation, and restoring liver function.

Objective: To investigate the effect of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) on the cellular tight junction protein Claudin-18 in endotoxin-induced acute lung injury (ALI).
Methods: Eighteen healthy male C57BL/6 mice were divided into control group, endotoxin-induced ALI model group (ALI group) and Nrf2 activator tert-butylhydroquinone (tBHQ) pretreatment group (tBHQ+ALI group) according to random number table method, with 6 mice in each group. Mice endotoxin-induced ALI model was reproduced by intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 15 mg/kg), and the mice in the control group was injected with an equal amount of phosphate buffer solution (PBS).
