- W3208682914 abstract "Physalin B (PB) is an active constituent of Physalis alkekengi L. var. Franchetii, which is a traditional medicine for clearing heat and detoxification, resolving phlegm, and diuresis. It has been commonly applied to treat sore throat, phlegm-heat, cough, dysuria, pemphigus, and eczema.Physalin B has shown efficacy as an anti-acute lung injury (ALI) agent previously; however, its mechanisms of action remain unclear. In the present study, we established a lipopolysaccharide-induced septic ALI model using BALB/c mice to further confirm the therapeutic potential of PB and to assess the underlying molecular mechanisms.We used 75% ethanol and macroporous resin for extraction, separation, and enrichment of PB. The LPS-induced ALI mouse model was used to determine anti-inflammatory effects of PB. The severity of acute lung injury was evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin staining, wet/dry lung ratio, and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in lung tissue. An automatic analyzer was used to measure the arterial blood gas index. Protein levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in serum, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and lung tissue was measured using an ELISA. Quantitative RT-PCR was used to measure changes in RNA levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the lungs. A fluorometric assay kit was used for determination of apoptosis-related factors to assess anti-apoptotic effects of PB. Western blotting was used to assess levels of key pathway proteins and apoptosis-related proteins. Connections between the pathways were tested through inhibitor experiments.Pretreatment with PB (15 mg kg-1 d-1, i.g.) significantly reduced lung wet/dry weight ratios and MPO activity in blood and BALF of ALI mice, and it alleviated LPS-induced inflammatory cell infiltration in lung tissue. The levels of pro-inflammatory factors TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β and their mRNA levels in blood, BALF, and lung tissue were reduced following PB pretreatment. PB pretreatment also downregulated the apoptotic factors caspase-3, caspase-9, and apoptotic protein Bax, and it upregulated apoptotic protein Bcl-2. The NF-κB and NLRP3 pathways were inhibited through activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway due to PB pretreatment, whereas administration of PI3K inhibitors increased activation of these pathways.Taken together, our results suggest that the anti-ALI properties of PB are closely associated with the inactivation of NF-κB and NLRP3 by altering the PI3K/Akt pathway. Furthermore, our findings provide a novel strategy for application of PB as a potential agent for treating patients with ALI. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to elucidate the underlying mechanism of action of PB against ALI." @default.
