[Abstract]
Objective To observe the effect of emodin on lung injury in rats with stroke associated pneumonia (SAP)through regulating Janus kinase 2(JAK2)/signal transducer and activators of transcription 3(STAT3) signaling pathway. Methods The SAP rat model was established by modified thread embolization method combined with intratracheal injection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa method. The successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into model group, emodin low-and high-dose groups and emodin high-dose + coumermycin (JAK2 activator)group,with 12 rats in each group,and another 12 SD rats were selected as the sham-operated group. After the intervention, the partial pressure of arterial blood gas indexes such as carbon dioxide(PaCO2)and partial pressure of oxygen(PaO2)were measured,the ratio of lung wet/ dry mass(W /D)was determined,the inflammatory cell count in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)was detected,the histopathological feature in the lung tissues was observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and the pathological injury was scored, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to detect myeloperoxidase(MPO)activity in the lung tissues and interleukin 6(IL-6)and cyclooxygenase 2(COX-2)levels in BALF and serum,and Western Blot was used to detect the expression of JAK2/STAT3 pathway key proteins in lung tissues. Results Compared with the sham-operated group,the model group rats showed that more obvious pathological injury in lung tissues was seen, and PaCO2 value,ratio of lung W/D,white blood cell count and eosinophils count in BALF,pathological injury score,MPO activity in lung tissues,IL-6 and COX-2 levels in BALF and serum,and ratios of p-JAK2/JAK2 and p-STAT3 / STAT3 in lung tissues were significantly increased,and PaO2 value was significantly decreased, the differences being statistically significant(P < 0.05);compared with the model group,the emodin low- and high-dose groups rats showed that the pathological injury in lung tissues was reduced,PaCO2 value,ratio of lung W / D,white blood cell count and eosinophils count in BALF,pathological injury score,MPO activity in lung tissues,IL-6 and COX-2 levels in BALF and serum,and ratios of p-JAK2/JAK2 and p-STAT3/STAT3 in lung tissues were all decreased,and PaO2 value was increased,the differences being statistically significant(P < 0.05), and the improvement effect was more stronger in high-dose emodin group; coumermycin attenuated the improvement effect of emodin on the above various indexes in the model rats. Conclusion Emodin can reduce the inflammation levels in SAP rats through inhibiting the activation of JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway,thus reducing the lung tissue damage and improving the lung function of rats.
