Abstract

Acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a serious respiratory disease, the mechanism is unclear. This paper revealed the mechanism of ganoderic acid B (BB) on lipopolysaccharide-induced pneumonia in mice. Pneumonia model was induced by LPS in mice and A549 cells. Lung dry/wet weight (W/D) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in lung were examined. Lung histopathological changes was observed by HE staining. Superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA) and proinflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in mice and A549 cells were detected. Rho/NF-κB pathway in mice and A549 cells were examined by Western Blot. BB significantly reduced W/D and MPO activity, restored lung histopathological changes. BB also increased SOD, decreased MDA, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in mice and A549 cells. In addition, BB inhibited Rho/NF-κB pathway in mice and A549 cells. BB has protective effect on LPS-induced pneumonia in mice, and its mechanism is related to the regulation of Rho/NF-κB signaling pathway.
