Abstract:
Objective To study the effect of morin on LPS induced acute lung injury mouse model and its mechanism .Meth‐ods Thirty male C57B/L mice were randomly divided into control group ,LPS group and LPS+ morin group ,with 10 in each group .5 mg/kg LPS was instilled into the lung from an trachea intubation in LPS group and LPS+morin group .Then the mice in LPS+morin group received an intraperitoneal injection of morin (40 mg/kg) every day for the next 3 d .Others received an equal a‐mount of saline .After 72 h ,the mice were sacrificed .The bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected and centrifuged;the sediments were stained with Wright‐Giemsa for total cell and neutrophil count and the supernates were prepared for ELISA .The wet and dry weight of lung was weighed to calculate the wet/dry weight ratio .HE staining was performed to examine the pathologi‐cal change of lung .Western blot was used to determined the expression of TLR4 ,IKK and NF‐κB .Results Intratracheal instillation of LPS successfully established ALI model in mouse .LPS caused significant pathological changes including inflammatory cells infil‐tration ,alveolar septa thickness ,hemorrhage and edema .The wet/dry weight ratio ,the total cell count ,neutrophil count ,TNF and IL‐1βlevel in BALF ,and the expression of TLR4 ,NF‐κB ,and IKK were all increased significantly (P<0 .05) ,which were allevia‐ted by intraperitoneal injection of morin .Conclusion Morin can dampen the inflammatory response during LPS induced ALI in mouse ,which is potentially attributed to its inhibitory effect on the activation of NF‐κB .
