Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the impact of syringin on lung tissue injury in acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS)rats by regulating miR-124-3p/mitogen-activated protein kinase 14(MAPK14)axis.Methods:ARDS rat model was established by intratracheal instillation of LPS(1 mg/kg,500 μl),and the successfully modeled rats were divided into ARDS group,syringin-L group(syringin 17.5 mg/kg),syringin-M group(syringin 35 mg/kg),syringin-H group(syringin 70 mg/kg),miR NC group(syringin 70 mg/kg+miR NC)and miR-124-3p inhibitor group(syringin 70 mg/kg+miR-124-3p inhibitor),with 12 rats in each group.Another 12 rats were instilled with 500 μl of normal saline in the trachea as a control group.Each administration group was injected with corre-sponding dose of syringin by intraperitoneal injection,miR NC group and miR-124-3p inhibitor group were administered with miR NC and miR-124-3p inhibitor by tail vein injection respectively,and control group and ARDS group were injected with corresponding dose of normal saline,for 3 consecutive days.RT-qPCR was applied to detect expressions of miR-124-3p and MAPK14 mRNA in lung tissue;HE staining was applied to observe lung histopathology;a blood gas analyzer was used to detect PaO2 and FiO2 in rat arterial blood,and to calculate PaO2/FiO2;ELISA was applied to detect levels of IL-1β,IL-18 and TNF-α in rat bronchoalveolar lavage fluid;Western blot was applied to detect expressions of MAPK14 and high mobility group box protein(HMGB1);dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was applied to analyze the relationship between miR-124-3p and MAPK14.Results:Compared with control group,expression of miR-124-3p in ARDS group was decreased(P<0.05),and the lung tissue structure was unclear,pulmonary interstitial congestive edema,inflammatory cell infiltration,and obvious lung tissue damage were observed,arterial blood PaO2,PaO2/FiO2 were decreased(P<0.05),the lung injury score and expression of MAPK14 mRNA in lung tissue,W/D value,levels of IL-1β,IL-18 and TNF-α in bron-choalveolar lavage fluid,and protein expressions of MAPK14 and HMGB1 were greatly increased(P<0.05);compared with ARDS group,expression of miR-124-3p in syringin-L group,syringin-M group and syringin-H group were greatly increased,the lung tissue damage was alleviated,arterial blood PaO2,PaO2/FiO2 were increased,the lung injury score and expression of MAPK14 mRNA in lung tissue,W/D value,levels of IL-1β,IL-18 and TNF-α in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid,and protein expressions of MAPK14 and HMGB1 were greatly decreased(P<0.05);down-regulation of miR-124-3p could increase MAPK14 expression,and attenuate the inflammatory inhibitory and lung-protective effects of syringin on ARDS rats.Conclusion:Syringin can alleviate lung injury in ARDS rats by regulating the miR-124-3p/MAPK14 axis.
