Pyroptosis and polarization of macrophages in septic acute lung injury induced by lipopolysaccharide in mice.
Immunity, Inflammation and Disease 2024 March
BACKGROUND: Pyroptosis and polarization are significant contributors to the onset and development of many diseases. At present, the relationship between pyroptosis and polarization in acute lung injury (ALI) caused by sepsis remains unclear.
METHODS: The ALI model for sepsis was created in mice and categorized into the blank control, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group, LPS + low-dose Belnacasan group, LPS + high-dose Belnacasan group, LPS + low-dose Wedelolactone group, LPS + high-dose Wedelolactone group, and positive control group. The wet-dry specific gravity was evaluated to compare pulmonary edema. Hematoxylin-eosin, Masson, and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling staining techniques were conducted to observe and contrast the pathological changes in lung tissue. ELISA was utilized to identify M1 and M2 macrophages and correlated inflammatory factors. Immunohistochemical staining and flow cytometry were employed to identify markers of M1 and M2 macrophages in lung tissue. Propidium iodide staining, together with flow cytometry, was utilized to observe the degree and positive rate of pyroptosis of alveolar macrophages. Western blot analysis was conducted to detect the expression levels of Caspase 1, Caspase 11, GSDMD, and IL-18 in the lung tissues of each group. The real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction method was used to ascertain relative expression levels of NLRP3, Caspase 1, Caspase 11, GSDMD, IL-18, iNOS, and Arg-1 in lung tissues of all groups.
RESULTS: In mice with sepsis-induced ALI, both classical and nonclassical pathways of pyroptosis are observed. Inhibiting pyroptosis has been found to ameliorate lung injury, pulmonary edema, and inflammation induced by LPS. Notably, the expression of NLRP3, Caspase 1, Caspase 11, GSDMD, IL-1β, IL-18, TGF-β, CD86, CD206, iNOS, and Arg-1 were all altered in this process. Additionally, alveolar macrophages were polarized along with pyroptosis in mice with ALI caused by sepsis.
CONCLUSION: Pyroptosis of alveolar macrophages in the context of ALI in mice infected with sepsis has been linked to the polarization of alveolar macrophages toward type M1.
