| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the present study, we evaluate the effect of monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL), an agonist of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), on lung ischemia-reperfusion injury (LIRI), especially whether MPL affect pharmacological preconditioning (PPC) through a MyD88-independent signaling to protect against LIRI. C57BL/6 mice received MPL prior to 60 minutes of ischemia of their left lungs, followed by 180 minutes of reperfusion. Response to injury was quantified by tissue MPO activity, vascular permeability, and BAL expression. Lung homogenates were also analyzed for activation of MyD88, TRIF, and NF-κB. Pretreatment with MPL resulted in the development of a significant smaller LIRI. Instead of MyD88 activation, a strong activation of TRIF, leads to NF-κB activation in MyD88-independent signaling, is showing before LIRI same as ischemic preconditioning. We conclude that an activation of TRIF, which are associate proteins of TLR4, would regulate a role of NF-κB to preserve lung function.
