Mechanistic target of rapamycin-mediated autophagy is involved in the alleviation of lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury in rats.

Abstract:

:Acute lung injury (ALI) is a complex clinical syndrome with high morbidity and mortality rates. Autophagy is an adaptive process that plays a complex role in ALI. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of autophagy on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced lung injury by establishing a rat ALI model and to further explore the possible mechanisms involved. Rats were pretreated with the autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3-MA) or the autophagy activator rapamycin before they were challenged with the intratracheal instillation of LPS (5 mg/kg). The level of autophagy in the lung tissue was detected. Lung injury and vascular permeability were assessed. The role of the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR)-mediated Unc-51-like kinase 1 (ULK1) and the class III PI3 kinase VPS34 in autophagy regulation was examined. LPS challenge induced autophagy and rapamycin pretreatment enhanced autophagy activity in LPS-induced ALI rats. LPS caused severe lung injury and high pulmonary vascular permeability, which could be alleviated by enhancing autophagy. In addition, the inhibition of mTOR upregulated the expression of ULK1 and VPS34 and thus increased LPS-induced autophagy. Autophagy plays a protective role in LPS-induced ALI, and enhancing autophagy via the inhibition of mTOR alleviates lung injury and pulmonary barrier function. Moreover, mTOR negatively mediates ULK1 and VPS34 to regulate LPS-induced autophagy in rats.
