Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Acute lung injury and its more severe form, acute respiratory distress syndrome, are life-threatening diseases characterized by uncontrolled pulmonary inflammation, impaired gas exchange, and high mortality rates. Effective therapeutic agents remain limited. As a non-addictive component derived from hemp seed, the anti-inflammatory activity of cannabidiol (CBD) has been suggested by multiple pathological models.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to investigate the potent anti-inflammatory effects of CBD in lipopolysaccharide-induced pulmonary inflammation and the mechanisms involved herein.
METHODS: Mice were treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) intranasally to construct pulmonary inflammation model while CBD was administrated intraperitoneally at 25 mg/kg, 50 mg/kg, and 100 mg/kg. The percentage of immune cell subsets and the concentration of cytokines and chemokines were assayed to evaluate the inflammatory status of the lungs. The molecular expression of whole lungs and macrophages was obtained through RNA sequencing.
RESULTS: The number of interstitial macrophages and neutrophils in lungs responded to the progression of inflammation and the anti-inflammatory function of CBD. In line with this, the transcriptome of lung tissue upregulated innate immune cell-related features and nuclear factor kappa-B signaling which was downregulated by CBD treatment at 50 mg/kg. CBD at this dose reduced the expression of interleukin-1 beta in both interstitial and alveolar macrophages and suppressed the expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 in endothelial cells. During these processes, the mediation of inflammation was potentially conducted by interstitial macrophages.
CONCLUSION: CBD at 50 mg/kg significantly attenuates LPS-induced pulmonary inflammation and markedly suppresses the LPS-induced elevation in the number of neutrophils and interstitial macrophages in the lung. CBD could directly inhibit the expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 in pulmonary endothelial cells and indirectly inhibit it by suppressing interleukin-1 beta secretion from macrophages, thereby reducing neutrophil infiltration into the lung and alleviating lung injury. These findings uncover the molecular mechanism whereby CBD alleviates inflammation via inhibiting granulocyte trafficking to the lungs, providing novel insights into the therapeutic potential of this compound.
