| Sumario: | Acute lung injury (ALI) is one of the fatal symptoms of sepsis. However, there were no effective clinical treatments. TF accumulation-induced fibrin deposit formations and coagulation abnormalities in pulmonary vessels contribute to the lethality of ALI. Suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) acts as an endogenous negative regulator of the TLR4/TF pathway. We hypothesized that inducing SOCS3 expression using lidocaine to suppress the TLR4/TF pathway may alleviate ALI. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), B-mode ultrasound, and flow cytometry were used to measure the pathological damage of mice. Gelatin zymography was used to measure matrix metalloproteinase-2/9 (MMP-2/9) activities. Western blot was used to assay the expression of protein levels. Here, we show that lidocaine could increase the survival rate of ALI mice and ameliorate the lung injury of ALI mice including reducing the edema, neutrophil infiltration, and pulmonary thrombosis formation and increasing blood flow velocity. Moreover, in vitro and in vivo, lidocaine could increase the expression of p-AMPK and SOCS3 and subsequently decrease the expression of p-ASK1, p-p38, TF, and the activity of MMP-2/9. Taken together, our study demonstrated that lidocaine could inhibit the TLR4/ASK1/TF pathway to alleviate ALI via activating AMPK-SOCS3 axis. |
