LipoxinA4 attenuates acute pancreatitis-associated acute lung injury by regulating AQP-5 and MMP-9 expression, anti-apoptosis and PKC/SSeCKS-mediated F-actin activation

In this study, we first proved LXA4 could effectively promote F-actin reconstruction and regulate its expression in pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells both in vivo and vitro via suppressing PKC/SSeCKS signalling pathway. Next, we found that LXA4 attenuated cell growth inhibition and apoptosis in lung tissues of AP-ALI mice and HPMECs. Additionally, we demonstrated that LXA4 could regulate the expression of AQP-5 and MMP-9 to stabilize the permeability of pulmonary microvascular endothelial cell. In summary, our results suggest that the anti-inflammatory eff ;ects of LXA4 may be due to the inhibition of both the PKC/SSeCKS pathway and apoptosis to reduce alveolar fluid exudation and to the regulation of AQP-5 and MMP-9 expression to maintain the clearance of alveolar fluid. Thus, L...
