Excess inflammatory processes play a key detrimental role in the pathophysiology of acute lung injury (ALI). Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were reported to be beneficial to ALI, but the underlying mechanisms have not been completely understood. The present study aimed to examine the involvement of MyD88−NFκB signaling in the immunomodulation of MSCs in mice with lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-induced ALI. We found that serum concentrations of IL-6, TNF-α, MCP-1, IL-1β, and IL-8 were significantly decreased at 6 h after LPS-induced ALI in the MSC group (p < 0.05). For each of the five cytokines, the serum concentration of each individual mouse in either group declined to a similar level at 48 h. The intensity of lung injury lessened in the MSC group, as shown by histopathology and lung injury scores (p < 0.001). The expressions of MyD88 and phospho-NFκB in the lung tissue were significantly decreased in mice receiving MSCs as measured by Western blotting and immunohistochemistry. Our data demonstrated that human umbilical cord-derived MSCs could effectively alleviate the cytokine storm in mice after LPS-induced ALI and attenuated lung injury. Firstly, we documented the correlation between the down-regulation of MyD88−NFκB signaling and immunomodulatory effects of MSCs in the situation of ALI.

D014470 Umbilical Cord The flexible rope-like structure that connects a developing FETUS to the PLACENTA in mammals. The cord contains blood vessels which carry oxygen and nutrients from the mother to the fetus and waste products away from the fetus. Cord, Umbilical,Cords, Umbilical,Umbilical Cords
D015398 Signal Transduction The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.
