Relief of ODN2088 for Acute Lung Injury in Rats with Sepsis Induced by Mitochondrial DNA
Objective: To probe into the correlation between plasma mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content and severity of acute lung injury (ALI) in rats with sepsis and the protective effects of selective Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) inhibitor ODN2088 on ALI in rats with sepsis. Methods: According to the random number table method
80 rats were divided into the sham surgery (sham) group
sepsis (sepsis) group
intraperitoneal injection of mtDNA 1.4 mg/kg (sepsis+mtDNA) group and intraperitoneal injection of mtDNA 1.4 mg/kg+ODN2088 1 mg/kg (sepsis+mtDNA+ODN) group
with 20 rats in each group. The model of sepsis complicated with ALI was established by cecal ligation and perforation (CLP). After surgery of 6 and 12 h
blood samples
bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and lung tissues were collected to detect plasma mtDNA and TLR9/p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) expression levels in lung tissues. Results: Compared with the sham group
the sepsis group had higher mortality
increased levels of plasma mtDNA and TLR9/p38 MAPK expression in lung tissues
and increased ALI degree [lung injury score
inflammatory cells in BALF
lung (wet-dry)/dry weight ratio and gene expression
P<0.05]. Compared with the sepsis group
the mortality rate
plasma mtDNA
TLR9/p38MAPK expression and ALI degree increased in the sepsis+mtDNA group (P<0.05). Compared with the sepsis+mtDNA+ODN group
the mortality rate
plasma mtDNA
TLR9/p38MAPK expression and ALI degree decreased in the sepsis+mtDNA+ODN group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Plasma mtDNA is correlated with ALI induced by sepsis
and TLR9 inhibitor ODN2088 can relieve ALI in rats with sepsis induced by mtDNA.
