ABSTRACT
Objective:
To observe the expression of nuclear factor-kappa B( NF-κB) in rats with acute lung injury ( ALI) caused by oleic acid ( OA) and investigate the protective effect of puerarin ( Pue) in ALI.Methods:
Twenty-four rats were randomly divided into three groupsthe control group, OA group and Pue group. Morphological changes in lung tissues were observed under a light mi-croscope and the expression of NF-κB in lung tissues were examined.Results:
Morphological changes in lung tissues showed that pul-monary inflammation was relieved in Pue group compared with that in OA group. Compared with the control group, the expression of NF-κB was increased obviously in OA group (0. 39 ± 0. 07 vs 0. 12 ± 0. 04, P<0. 05), and that was decreased obviously in Pue group (0. 24 ± 0. 05), which was still higher than that in the control group (P<0. 05).Conclusion:
Puerarin can alleviate the inflammation reaction in ALI through inhibiting the expression of NF-κB.
