Bunge possesses excellent anti-inflammatory properties and was used in the treatment of inflammatory diseases. The aim of the present study was to investigate the efficiency of Bunge extract (SSBE) on severe acute pancreatitis-associated (SAP-associated) acute lung injury (ALI) in rats and to explore the underlying mechanisms. Here, we used a sodium taurocholate-induced SAP rat model to determine the role of SSBE in ALI. During the course of pancreatitis, the expressions of phosphorylated phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-B) p65 in the lungs were upregulated. Meanwhile, a parallel increase in the levels of interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-) in the lungs was observed after the induction of SAP. Treatment with SSBE significantly reduced the expression of p-Akt and p-p65 in the lungs and attenuated the severity of SAP-associated ALI compared to the SAP group at 12 h and 24 h. In summary, this study showed that SSBE has beneficial effects on SAP-associated ALI, probably through the PI3-K/Akt signaling pathways by suppressing the NF-B activities.
Bunge 具有优异的抗炎特性,曾被用于治疗炎症性疾病。本研究旨在探讨 Bunge 提取物(SSBE)对大鼠重症急性胰腺炎相关(SAP 相关)急性肺损伤(ALI)的疗效,并探讨其潜在机制。在这里,我们使用牛磺胆酸钠诱导的 SAP 大鼠模型来确定 SSBE 在 ALI 中的作用。在胰腺炎过程中,肺组织中磷酸化磷脂酰肌醇 3-激酶(PI3K)/蛋白激酶 B(Akt)和核因子-κB(NF-κB)p65 的表达上调。同时,SAP 诱导后,肺组织中白细胞介素-1(IL-1)、白细胞介素-6(IL-6)和肿瘤坏死因子-(TNF-)的水平也呈平行增加。与 SAP 组相比,SSBE 治疗可显著降低肺组织中 p-Akt 和 p-p65 的表达,并减轻 SAP 相关 ALI 的严重程度,在 12 h 和 24 h 时更为明显。综上所述,本研究表明,SSBE 对 SAP 相关 ALI 具有有益作用,可能通过抑制 NF-κB 活性,通过 PI3-K/Akt 信号通路实现。
