Berberine protects against sepsis-related acute lung injury in rats via PPAR-γ signaling pathway upregulation and improvement at the cellular level: Functional, biochemical, and immunohistochemistry study.
This study aimed to assess the prophylactic effects of Berberine on experimentally induced lung sepsis and examine its effects on selected cytokines, genes, and protein expression besides the histopathological evaluation. Berberine significantly reduced the wet/dry lung ratio, the broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) protein, cells, neutrophils percentage, and cytokines levels. In addition, pretreatment with Berberine decreased the myeloperoxidase (MPO) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and decreased gene expression of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), and the intracellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) by RT-qPCR analysis, revealing Berberine's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory mode of action. Western blot analysis revealed increased peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ) expression in the Berberine pretreated group compared to the cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) group, in which the histopathological examination evidenced this improvement. In conclusion, Berberine improved lung sepsis via its PPAR-γ mediated antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
