Protective Effects of Pasireotide in LPS-Induced Acute Lung Injury.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Acute lung injury (ALI) is an inflammatory condition characterized by tissue barrier damage, which leads to vascular leakage, pulmonary edema, and compromised gas exchange. Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are a component of Gram-negative bacteria, which trigger inflammation by Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) activation. Herein, we investigated the possibility that Pasireotide (PAS) exerts protective effects in an experimental model of ALI. Methods: C57BL/6 male mice received an intratracheal injection of saline or LPS, followed by PAS or vehicle treatment. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected via tracheal catheterization, and Western blot analysis was used to detect protein expression variations. Results: Our results suggest that PAS treatment
