Abstract :

Study design: Randomized experimental study is performed. Objectives: The study aimed to investigate the therapeutic efficacy and molecular mechanisms of A-68930 in a rat model of spinal cord injury (SCI)�induced acute lung injury (ALI). Setting: China is selected as a setting. Methods: The influences of A-68930 on the pulmonary edema, histological changes, pro-inflammatory cytokines levels, (myeloperoxidase) MPO activity and NLRP3 inflammasome protein expression were estimated. Results: SCI significantly promoted NLRP3 inflammasome activation, increased proinflammatory cytokines productions and MPO activity, induced pulmonary edema and tissue damage in the SCI group as compared with the control group. A-68930 administration significantly inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome activation, reduced inflammatory cytokines levels and MPO activity. Moreover, A-68930 administration attenuated pulmonary edema and histopathology. Conclusion: Our experimental findings indicated that A-68930 exhibited protective effect on SCI-induced ALI by the alleviations of inflammatory response with the inhibition NLRP3 inflammasome activation 72h post-injury. The present study indicated that A-68930 could be a potentially efficient therapeutic strategy for the treatment of SCI- induced ALI.
