Objective:To investigate protectory effects and possible mechanisms of lipoxin A4(LXA4)on the type Ⅱ alveolar epithelial cell line MLE-12 with hyperoxia injury. Methods:MLE-12 cells were cultured and divided into five groups randomly:I:air group,Ⅱ:hyperoxia group,Ⅲ:hyperoxia+ LXA4 group,Ⅳ:hyperoxia+ TGF-β1 neutralizing antibodies,Ⅴ:hyperoxia+ TGF-β1 neutralizing antibodies+ LXA4. The growth state and morphological changes of the cells were observed by the inverted phase microscope;the mRNA expression of collagen Ⅰ,tenascin-C,TGF-β1 receptor(TGF-βR1),TGF-βR2 and Smad3 were measured by real-time quantitative PCR;the protein levels of TGF-β1/Smads signaling pathway(TGFβR1,Smad2,Smad3,Smad4,p-Smad2 and p-Smad3)were detected by Western blot. Results:①Morphological change:the cells under hyperoxia lost their normal shapes and showed necrosis,while the cells cultured with LXA4 and/lor TGF-β1 neutralizing antibodies were normal appropriately. ②The mRNA expression of extracellular matrix(ECM):LXA4 and TGF-β1 neutralizing antibodies attenuated the mRNA expression of collagenⅠ,tenascin-C markedly(P < 0.05),which expressed in the group hyperoxia+TGF-β1 neutralizing antibodies + LXA4 decreased most obviously. ③The mRNA and protein levels of TGF-β1/Smads signaling pathway:Compared with that of the hyperoxia group,the mRNA expression of TGF-βR1,TGF-βR2 and Smad3 decreased(P < 0.05),while the protein level of TGF-β1/Smads signaling pathway had the same change in intervention group,and it in the the group hyperoxia+ TGF-β1 neutralizing antibodies +LXA4 decreased most obviously(P < 0.05). Conclusion:LXA4 can achieve protection of hy-peroxia-induced injury to MLE-12 which may be related to collagenⅠ, tenascin-C and TGF-β1 /Smads signaling pathway.
