Objective:To investigate the effect of bone morphogenetic protein-9(BMP9)overexpression on inflammatory response and apoptosis of alveolar epithelial cells induced by lipopolysaccharide(LPS).Methods:A549 cells were stimulated with 0.1 μg/ml LPS,expressions and changes of BMP9 protein at different time points(LPS stimulation for 0 h,6 h,12 h,24 h)were detected by Western blot.Expression of BMP9 in A549 cells was up-regulated by transfection of BMP9 plasmid,and the transfection efficiency was verified by Western blot and qPCR.After 12 h of LPS stimulation,levels of inflammatory factors TNF-α,IL-6,IL-1β in cell supernatant were detected by ELISA,expressions of anti-apoptotic protein(Bcl-2)and pro-apoptotic protein(Bax)were detected by Western blot,and apoptosis of cells was detected by TUNEL staining.Results:With the extension of LPS stimulation time,expression of BMP9 was down-regulated.Overexpression of BMP9 successfully up-regulated expression of BMP9 in A549 cells.LPS stimulation promoted secretions of TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-1β from A549 cells,increased apoptosis,promoted Bcl-2 expression while inhibited Bax expression.Overexpression of BMP9 inhibited TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-1β releasing,decreased apoptosis,inhibited Bcl-2 expression,while promoted Bax expression.Conclusion:In LPS-stimulated A549 cells,BMP9 expression is gradually decreased at a time-depen-dent manner.Overexpression of BMP9 can inhibit LPS-induced inflammatory response and apoptosis in A549 cells.

In recent years,researchers have shown widespread attention in the impact of commonly used clinical anesthetics on overall physiological health by influencing mitochondrial quality.These widely used anesthetics can alter mitochondrial characteristics in several ways,such as modifying mitochondrial morphology and dynamics,affecting mitochondrial function and metabolism,and altering the expression of mitochondrial proteins.These changes have a direct or indirect effect on clinical outcomes during the peri-operative period.Either beneficial or detrimental consequences are decided by multiple factors,such as the type and dosage of anesthetic used,the timing of administration,and the patient's condition.This review comprehensively presents the effects of different types of anesthetic drugs,including intravenous anesthetics,inhalational anesthetics,analgesic,and local anesthetics,on the mitochondria quality of tissue cells and their potential mechanisms,which can facilitate selecting safer anesthesia protocols,minimizing postoperative complications,optimizing patients'postoperative recovery,developing new therapeutic strategies,and opti-mizing perioperative management.
