Abstract: Objective To investigate the expression pattern of Nrf2 in the lung of septic rat and preliminary analysis of the role of Nrf2 in the development of sepsis. Methods Wistar rats were used in this study, it was divided into 4 groups, including normal control group, pure burn group, burn with staphylococcus sepsis group, burn with pseudomonas sepsis group. According to the different time intervals such as 2 hours, 8 hours, and 24 hours, it was divided into three sub-group after injection of bacteria. The expression of Nrf2 in the lung at different time intervals was determined. Results Nrf2 mRNA in the lungs of normal rats was high expression （74.0±7.0）, Nrf2 mRNA in the lungs of pure burns rats obviously down-regulated, respectively as 34.5±1.9,50.4±2.2,32.1±1.4, （t＝5.69～14.63,P＜0.01）. Nrf2 mRNA in burn sepsis caused by Staphylococcus aureus in lung tissue of rats down-regulated expression, respectively as 53.1±5.0,14.4±1.6,48.5±1.9,and reached peak at 8 h（t＝5.59～29.3,P＜0.01）. Pseudomonas aeruginosa burn sepsis didn't induced Nrf2 mRNA in the lung tissue, but it showed a downward trend at 2h（71.0±8.1,P＞0.05）and markedly reduced after 8, 24 h（24.8±2.1,4.1±2.0,t＝21.33,68.1,P＜0.01）.Conclusions The distribution of Nrf2 mainly localized in immune organ, and it directly took part in the post burn immune response.
