Interleukin IL-5 alleviates sepsis-induced acute lung injury by regulating the immune response in rats

Abstract

To study the effect of IL-5 on the immune response and lung injury in rats with sepsis. We constructed a rat model of sepsis by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). The rats were randomly divided into the control group, the sham group, the CLP group and the IL-5 group, with 6 rats in each group. With the induction of CLP, the lung tissue of rats was severely injured, and the water content of lung tissue was significantly increased. Moreover, the ratio of CD4 + /CD8 + was significantly decreased and Th1/Th2 was significantly increased in the peripheral blood. The content of IL-6, TNF-α, and HMGB1 was found to be increased in the CLP group. However, with the injection of IL-5, the degree of lung tissue injury in CLP rats was alleviated and the water content of lung tissue was significantly reduced. The ratio of CD4 + /CD8 + was increased and Th1/Th2 was significantly down-regulated in the peripheral blood and the levels of IL-6, TNF-α, and HMGB1 in serum were significantly decreased. In conclusion, IL-5 can alleviate lung injury by regulating the immune response and inhibiting the systemic inflammatory response induced by sepsis.

“…High-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1), one of the highly conserved nuclear proteins [ 25 ], is involved in the regulation of inflammatory response [ 26 ] and sepsis-induced acute lung injury [ 27 ]. HMGB1 has also been implicated in progression of different types of cancers, which serves as a novel biomarker for tumor diagnosis and treatment [ 28 ].…”

Expression of Peripheral Blood DCs CD86, CD80, and Th1/Th2 in Sepsis Patients and Their Value on Survival Prediction

“…Pathogenic bacteria mainly activate the host immune process through endotoxin and lipopolysaccharide, thus accelerating the production of inflammatory factors. Gram-positive bacteria can also activate T lymphocyte proliferation through superantigen, causing immune dysfunction and inhibiting blood coagulation, thus leading to the spread of infection and further aggravating the disease [ 14 ]. In this study, 124 strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated from 118 patients, including 78 strains of Gram-negative bacteria (62.90%), 31 strains of Gram-positive bacteria (25.00%), and 15 strains of fungi (12.10%), which are consistent with previous studies.…”

Overexpressing long non-coding RNA OIP5-AS1 ameliorates sepsis-induced lung injury in a rat model via regulating the miR-128-3p/Sirtuin-1 pathway

“…We carried out a CLP operation to engineer a sepsis-ALI rat model referring to [ 19 ] with fewer changes. Briefly, the anesthetization in animals was implemented through the intraperitoneal injection of pentobarbital sodium (30 mg/kg body weight, Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, USA), with the fixation of animals in the supine position on an operating table.…”
