PG - 107014 LID - S1567-5769(20)32149-4 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.intimp.2020.107014 [doi] AB - Acute lung injury (ALI) is a life-threatening disorder with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Up to now, there are still no effective drugs for its therapies due to the complexity of its etiology and pathogenesis. In this present study, we investigated the protective effect of Nervilifordin F (NF) on ALI induced by intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (II/R) and its related mechanism. Firstly, the ALI model rats were induced through II/R, and treated with NF. Then, the pathological and cytokine level changes in the lung tissue of ALI rats were evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The related genes expression level of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway and inflammasome were measured by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), western blot and immunohistochemistry. Finally, the NF-protein complexes were predicted by SYBYL-X 2.0. The results indicated that NF can significant reduces the levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-1beta, and inhibits the expression of inflammasome related genes (such as toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), p65, NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) and Caspase 1), thereby reduce inflammation in II/R-induced ALI rats. Moreover, NF can activate the expression of FK506 binding protein 25 (FKBP25) and down-regulate the expression of mTOR and p70 ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1 (p70S6K). In addition, molecular docking results showed that NF can be combined well with p70S6K, TLR4, mTOR and NLRP3, which further verified the inhibitory effect of NF on ALI inflammation. Therefore, the findings indicate that NF can alleviates II/R-induced inflammation of ALI rats by inhibiting inflammasome related genes and mTOR pathway, which expected to use as a potential drug for the treatment of ALI.
