Silencing information regulator 1 ameliorates lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury in rats via the upregulation of caveolin-1.

BACKGROUND

Acute lung injury (ALI) is an intractable medical problem linked with to high morbidity and mortality all over the worldglobally. The prognosis of advanced acute lung injury remains persistently poor due to its underlying mechanisms remain unclear.Despite advancements in medical research, the its prognosis of advanced ALI remains persistently poor due to unclear underlying mechanisms. We aimed to investigate the protective effects of silencing information regulator 1 (SIRT1) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injuryALI and to reveal its underlying molecular mechanism.

METHODS

Male Sprague--Dawley rats were divided grouped into 4 groupsfour: normal saline group (group NS), lipopolysaccharide group (group L), SIRT1 activator SRT1720-pretreated group (group S), and SIRT1 inhibitor EX527- pretreated group (group E). Rats They were intranasally dripped with LPS to establish the model of ALI modelsacute lung injury respectively. We investigated the effect of SIRT1 on acute lung injury by analysing We analyzed the CT images of the rat lungs and used, HE staining, lung wet-to-dry ratio, inflammatory factor expression, lung injury marker expression, immunohistochemistry, and related mRNA expression to determine the effect of SIRT1 on ALI.

RESULTS

Our results show that LPS induction produced resulted in acute lung injury, ALI and disrupting disrupted normal SIRT1 expression, which led to the overexpression of STAT3, TLR4, TNF-ɑ, and IL-6 and suppression of Cav-1 expression. Upregulation The upregulation of Cav-1 protein and mRNA following the administration of an SIRT1 agonist resulted in reduced lung injury. SRT1720 pretreatment was closely associated with reduced expressions of STAT3,TLR4, TNF-ɑ, and IL-6. ALI lung injury was more severeworsened after administration of SIRT1 inhibitors, and the changes in the above indicators were reversed.

CONCLUSIONS

These results suggest that SIRT1 may protect against LPS-induced acute lung injuryALI via by counteracting inflammatory remissionion, and this protective effect might may be mediated by suppressing STAT3 to activate the expression ofinduce Cav-1 expression.
