ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe dynamically the Fractalkine (FKN) expression in lung tissue of rats with lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) and the effect of Shenqi Fuzheng Injection (SFI) on it.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Rat model of ALI was established by intravenous injection of 4 mg/kg of LPS. Forty-two Wistar rats were randomly divided into 7 groups, the normal group, the model group and the SFI group, the latter two were separated respectively into three time phases (the 1 h, 2 h and 4 h after modeling ) groups, 6 rats in each group. Pathological changes and wet/dry weight ratio (W/D) of lung were observed, serum TNF-alpha and FKN mRNA expression in the lung tissue were examined by ELISA and RT-PCR respectively.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Severe pathological changes of lung presented in the model groups of all three time phases with a higher W/D ratio, as well as increased serum TNF-alpha level and FKN mRNA expression in lung tissue. The peak of abnormality of serum TNF-alpha level and FKN mRNA expression was shown in the 2 h time phase group. All the above-mentioned abnormal changes were alleviated after treatment in the SFI group (P<0.05). In addition, the level of FKN mRNA expression was found to be positively correlated to the serum TNF-alpha concentration.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>SFI treatment in early stage could relieve the pathological changes and edema in lung tissue, decrease serum TNF-alpha and down-regulate FKN mRNA expression, playing a protective role in LPS-induced ALI rats.</p>
