[Abstract]
Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of magnolol in alleviating lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced acute pulmonary edema in mice through inhibition of transient receptor potential vanillin 4(TRPV4) activity. Methods SPF-grade Kunming mice were randomly divided into six groups: control group, model group, dobutamine hydrochloride(DBT, positive drug, 5 mg·kg-1) group, and the magnolol low-, medium-, and high-dose(3.3, 10.0, 30.0 mg·kg-1) groups. Except for control group, LPSinduced mouse pulmonary edema models were established in the other groups. Drugs were administered ip once 30 min before LPS injection and 8 h after LPS injection. The lung wet/dry weight ratio, pathological damage(HE staining), and levels of tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α, interleukin(IL)-6, IL-1β, and total protein in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were detected. The lung vascular permeability was measured by Evans blue method, and the expression of tight junction protein zonula occludens-1(ZO-1) was detected by immunofluorescence. The co-localization of magnolol and TRPV4 was verified in mouse lung tissue sections and pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells(PMVEC) using an alkynyl-modified magnolol probe. PMVEC were cultured in vitro and divided into control group, model group, GSK219(TRPV4 inhibitor, 10 μmol·L-1) group, and magnolol low-, medium-, and high-concentration(0.1, 1.0, 10.0 μmol·L-1) groups. Except for control group, cells were treated with LPS(10 μmol·L-1) for 24 h to induce injury, and drugs were administered simultaneously. Intracellular Ca2+ concentration was detected by live cell calcium imaging, F-actin stress fiber contraction and intercellular junction disruption were observed by phalloidin staining, and the expression of ZO-1 protein was detected by Western blotting. Transwell assay was used to detect transendothelial electrical resistance(TEER). Results Compared with the control group, magnolol(30 mg·kg-1) significantly reduced the lung wet/dry weight ratio(P<0.05), total protein in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(P<0.05), and levels of inflammatory factors(P<0.001), alleviated lung tissue pathological damage, vascular leakage, and reversed ZO-1 deficiency. The magnolol probe co-localized well with TRPV4. Compared with the control group, magnolol(1 μmol·L-1) significantly inhibited LPS-induced TRPV4-mediated Ca2+ overload(P<0.001), alleviated F-actin stress fiber contraction and intercellular junction disruption, upregulated ZO-1 expression(P<0.01), and restored TEER(P<0.001). Conclusion Magnolol alleviates LPS-induced acute pulmonary edema by inhibiting TRPV4 activity, thereby regulating calcium homeostasis and endothelial barrier function in PMVECs. This study provides scientific evidence elucidating the "drying-dampness" efficacy of the traditional Chinese medicine Magnolia officinalis.
