Objective To investigate the protective effect of annexin A1(ANXA1)derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells(HucMSCs)on lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced acute lung injury(ALI).Methods Six-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into a sham group,a LPS group,a LPS+HucMSC-cm(LPS+cm)group,a LPS+nc-cm group,and a LPS+si-cm group,with 6 mice in each group.LPS(5 mg/kg)was intratracheally injected to induce ALI model.Then,normal saline,HucMSC-cm(HucMSC conditioned medium),HucMSC-nc-cm(normal ANXA1 expression)and HucMSC-si-cm(knockout of ANXA1)were injected intratracheally with 50 pL each after LPS treatment for 4 hours.After 72 hours of LPS administration,the mice were killed,and the blood and lung tissues were retained.After corresponding treatment,the blood and lung tissues were preserved.The expression of IL-6 in peripheral blood of mice was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbnent assay,the pathological changes of lung tissues were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining,and the expressions of interleukin-6(IL-6)and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1(VCAM-1)in lung tissues of each group were detected by Western blot and immunohistochemistry.Results Compared with the sham group,the lung histopathology of mice in the LPS group showed significantly increased inflammatory factor infiltration,alveolar collapse,and lung tissue structure destruction as well as lung tissue injury score and wet/dry weight ratio(W/D)increased(all P＜0.05).Accordingly,IL-6 and VCAM-1 protein levels in lung tissue and IL-6 expression in peripheral blood were increased(all P＜0.05).Compared with the LPS group,the pathological injury of lung tissue in the LPS+cm group was improved,the lung tissue injury score and the W/D ratio decreased while IL-6,VCAM-1 protein levels in lung tissue and IL-6 expression in peripheral blood were decreased(all P＜0.05).But there were no significant differences between the LPS+cm group and the LPS+nc-cm group(all P＞0.05).Compared with the LPS+nc-cm group,lung tissue pathological injury was aggravated again,lung tissue injury score and W/D were also increased in the LPS+si-cm group(all P＜0.05).IL-6 and VCAM-1 protein levels in lung tissue and IL-6 expression in peripheral blood were increased again(all P＜0.05).Conclusion ANXA1 derived from HucMSCs has certain protective effect in LPS-induced ALI model.
