Fe-capsaicin nanozyme attenuates sepsis-induced acute lung injury by regulating the functions of macrophages.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In sepsis, the lung is one of the worst affected organs, often leading to acute lung injury (ALI). More and more evidence suggests that macrophages are also involved in the pathogenesis of ALI. In our previous study, we successfully synthesized Iron-capsaicin-based nanoparticles (Fe-CAP NPs) and found that it could inhibit the secretion of inflammatory cytokines to alleviate ALI. Here, we further explore the anti-inflammatory mechanism of Fe-CAP NPs.

Methods

Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) and C57 mice were divided into four groups: control group, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group, CAP + LPS group and Fe-CAP + LPS group. Western blot and Immunofluorescence were used to detect the expression of macrophage phenotypic markers CD86 and CD206 in BMDM and lung tissu
