Effect of Baihe Gujin Tang on LPS-induced Acute Lung Injury in Mice Based on Nrf2/Keap1/p62 Signaling Pathway
To investigate the protective effect and mechanism of Baihe Gujin Tang on lipopolysaccharide induced acute lung injury (LPS-ALI).
Method:
2
KM mice were randomly divided into 5 groups: blank control group
model group
dexamethasone 0.002 g·kg
-1
group
Baihe Gujin Tang (0.417
1.25 g·kg
-1
) group. Except for the blank control group
the other groups were given LPS to induce the mouse ALI model. Except for the blank control group and the model group
the other groups were continuously given intragastric administration for 7 days on the 1
st
to 7
th
days before modeling. The lung tissue of the mice was taken 6 h after modeling
and the wet/dry mass ratio (W/D) of the left lung was measured. The serum levels of superoxide dismutase(SOD)
malondialdehyde (MDA)
reactive oxygen species (ROS)and nitric oxide (NO) were detected in the mice. Thepathological changes of the lung tissues were observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining. The expression levels of nuclear factor E2 related factor 2(Nrf2)
Kelch-likeECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1)
p62 and autophagy associated proteinsLC3Ⅱ proteins in the lung tissues were detected by Western blot.
Result:
2
Compared with the blank control group
the W/D of the model group was significantly increased (
P
<
0.01)
the MDA level in the serum was significantly increased (
P
<
0.01)
and the SOD was significantly decreased (
P
<
0.01)
lung tissue lesions were severe
and significantly reduced the expression of lung tissue Nrf2
Keap1
but increased p62
LC3Ⅱ protein expression (
P
<
0.01). Compared with model group
the W/D of dexamethasone group and Baihe Gujin Tang 1.25 g·kg
-1
group was significantly lower (
P
<
0.01). Baihe Gujin Tang 1.25 g·kg
-1
group and dexamethasone group were able to significantly inhibited MDA levels in serum (
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01)
improved the expression of SOD (
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01)
dexamethasone group and Baihe Gujin Tang group have different extents of improvement the pathological changes of the lung tissues the pathological changes of the lung tissues
and the lung tissue Nrf2 and Keap1 were significantly increased
and the protein expression of p62
LC3Ⅱwas decreased (
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01)
each dose group of Baihe Gujin Tang had no effect on LC3B.
Conclusion:
2
Baihe Gujin Tang has obvious protective effect on LPS-ALI mice
and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of Nrf2/Keap1/autophagy feedback loop.
