Abstract
Dexmedetomidine (DEX) can protect the lung from ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. The aims of this study were to determine whether DEX attenuates lung injury following lower extremity I/R and to investigate the related toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling pathway. Twenty-eight SD rats were divided into four groups (n = 7): Sham, I/R, I/R + DEX (25 μg/kg prior to ischemia), and I/R + DEX + Atip (250 μg/kg atipamezole before DEX treatment). Lower extremity I/R was induced by left femoral artery clamping for 3 hours and followed by 2 hours reperfusion. Quantitative alveolar damage and the wet/dry (W/D) ratio were calculated. Interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and serum and myeloperoxidase (MPO) in the lung were measured. The TLR4 and MyD88 mRNA expression levels were measured by RT-PCR, nuclear factor (NF)-κB, and phosphorylated NF-κB by western blot, respectively. Quantitative alveolar damage, W/D ratio, MPO, BALF and serum IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-α, and TLR4, MyD88, NF-κB, and p-NF-κB expression significantly increased in the I/R group relative to the Sham group. DEX preconditioning significantly reduced lung...Continue Reading
