Inhibition of lincRNA-Cox2 alleviates apoptosis and inflammatory injury of lipopolysaccharide-stimulated human bronchial epithelial cells via the Nrf2/HO-1 axis.

ABSTRACT: This study mainly explored the role and mechanism of lincRNA-Cox2 in inflammatory injury of human bronchial epithelial cells. BEAS-2B cells were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide to establish an in vitro inflammatory injury model. Real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to detect lincRNA-Cox2 expression in LPS-stimulated BEAS-2B. Cell viability and apoptosis of cells were assessed using CCK-8 and Annexin V-PI double staining. The contents of inflammatory factors were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. The protein levels of nuclear factor erythrocyte 2-related factor 2 and haem oxygenase 1 protein levels were measured by Western blot. The results showed that lincRNA-Cox2 was upregulated in LPS-stimulated BEAS-2B cells. lincRNA-Cox2 knockdown inhibited apoptosis and the release of tumour necrosis factor alpha, interleukin 1beta (IL-1β), IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 in BEAS-2B cells. lincRNA-Cox2 overexpression had the opposite effect. lincRNA-Cox2 knockdown also inhibited LPS-induced oxidative damage in BEAS-2B cells. Further mechanistic studies showed that inhibition of lincRNA-Cox2 upregulated the levels of Nrf2 and HO-1, and si-Nrf2 reversed the effects of si-lincRNA-Cox2. In conclusion, lincRNA-Cox2 knockdown inhibited BEAS-2B apoptosis and the level of inflammatory factors by activating the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway.

Project description:Ethnopharmacological relevanceTADIOS is an herbal formulation prepared from a mixture of Taraxacum officinale (L.) Weber ex F.H.Wigg, Dioscorea batatas Decaisne and Schizonepeta tenuifolia (Benth.) Briquet. These plants have traditionally been used in Asia to treat a variety of respiratory diseases. A bulk of literature on traditional Korean medicine describe their activities and functions for respiratory problems. Therefore, we hypothesized that the combination of these plants might be effective in alleviating respiratory symptoms.Aim of the studyIn this study, we investigated whether TADIOS ameliorates LPS-induced acute lung injury via regulation of the Nrf2-HO-1 signaling pathway.Materials and methodsThe LPS-induced acute lung injury mouse model was used to determine the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative stress effects of TADIOS. The amount of marker compounds contained in TADIOS was quantified using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis. The protein level of pro-inflammatory cytokines in culture supernatant was measured by ELISA. Changes in the RNA level of pro-inflammatory cytokines in mice lungs and RAW264.7 cells were measured by quantitative RT-PCR. The relative amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were measured by DCF-DA assay. Western blot analysis was used to evaluate expression of cellular proteins. Effects of TADIOS on antioxidant responsive elements (AREs) were determined by luciferase assay. The severity of acute lung injury was evaluated by Hematoxylin & Eosin (H&E) staining. To test the effects of TADIOS on LPS-induced oxidative stress, myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and the total antioxidant capacity were measured.ResultsTADIOS was prepared by extraction of a blend of these three plants by ethanol, and quality control was performed through quantification of marker compounds by HPLC and measurement of bioactivities using cell-based bioassays. In the murine macrophage cell line RAW264.7, TADIOS effectively suppressed the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6 and IL-1β, and also ROS induced by LPS. When RAW264.7 cells were transfected with a luciferase reporter plasmid containing nucleotide sequences for AREs, TADIOS treatment increased the level of relative luciferase units in a dose-dependent manner. In the LPS-induced acute lung injury mouse model, orally administered TADIOS alleviated lung damage and neutrophil infiltration induced by LPS. Consistent with the in vitro data, treatment with TADIOS inhibited the LPS-mediated expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress, and activated the Nrf2-HO-1 axis.ConclusionOur data suggest the potential for TADIOS to be developed as a safe and effective therapeutics for the treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome.
