Article Title: Unleashing AdipoRon’s Potential: A Fresh Approach to Tackle Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infections in Bronchiectasis via Sphingosine Metabolism Modulation
doi: 10.2147/JIR.S483689
Figure Lengend Snippet: AdipoRon reduced the load of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the airway of mice. ( A ) HE staining was performed on lung tissue specimens from mouse models with different treatment (control group without Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection, DMSO control group with Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection, AdipoRon low-dose (5 mg/kg) pretreatment group with Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection, AdipoRon high-dose (50 mg/kg) pretreatment group with Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection, and ACRP30 recombinant protein pretreatment group with Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. ( B ) A semi-quantitative grading method of inflammation score was used to evaluate the severity of peribronchial inflammatory cell infiltration: 0, normal; 1, few cells; 2, a ring of inflammatory cells 1 cell layer deep; 3, a ring of inflammatory cells 2–4 cells deep; 4, a ring of inflammatory cells of > 4 cells deep. The inflammation scores of different groups were compared. ( C and D ) The CFU of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was counted in the lung tissue homogenates of mice in different treatment groups. ( E ) The bacterial load of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the lung tissue of mice in different treatment groups was detected by immunofluorescence with the antibody against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA1-73116). Data are expressed as the means ± standard deviation of three independent experiments. **indicates P <0.01.
Article Snippet: Treatment of the five groups: (i) Uninfected control: mice were anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection and instilled with 35 μL of PBS via the airway; (ii) Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection with DMSO control: 8 hours prior, mice were given an intravenous injection of DMSO solution as a control; (iii) Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection with low-dose AdipoRon: 8 hours prior, mice were treated with AdipoRon (5 mg/kg, intravenous injection); (iv) Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection with high-dose AdipoRon: 8 hours prior, mice were treated with AdipoRon (50 mg/kg, intravenous injection); and (v) Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection with adiponectin Acrp30 recombinant protein: 4 hours prior, mice were treated with adiponectin Acrp30 recombinant protein (HY-P7358, MedChemExpress, USA, 1 mg/kg, intravenous injection) as described.
