Summary: | Rev-Erbα is a nuclear heme receptor, transcriptional repressor, and critical component of the molecular clock that drives daily rhythms of metabolism. However, the roles of Rev-Erbα in acute lung injury (ALI) remain unclarified. Hence, the effect of Rev-Erbα on lung injury of sepsis mice is investigated here. The mice sepsis model is established using lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injection, and the expression levels of proinflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-10 (IL-10) in both RAW246.7 cells and lung tissues, are tested. The inflammatory response is obviously enhanced in LPS-constructed sepsis mice and alleviated by SR9009 agonist treatment. Cell-based experiments reveal that pharmacological activation of Rev-Erbα via SR9009 attenuates the LPS-induced inflammatory response by suppressing TLR4-regulated NF-κB activation. Sepsis induces the increase in W/D ratio; promotes the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), lactic acid (LA), and superoxide dismutase (SOD); and inhibits the levels of glutathione (GSH), whereas SR9009 treatment could effectively yield beneficial effects on metabolism. In addition, SR9009 treatment ameliorates acidosis and hypoxemia by efficiently decreasing arterial PaCO2 and increasing arterial PaO2, SO2, HCO3–, lactic acid concentration, and blood PH. These findings confirm that SR9009 treatment can alleviate the sepsis-induced lung injury and targeting Rev-Erbα may represent a promising approach for the prevention and management of ALI. |
