Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a clinical syndrome characterized by a high mortality rate, and its treatment is relatively straightforward. The application of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hucMSCs) for the treatment of ARDS has emerged as a novel therapeutic approach and has been the subject of extensive research. In this study, a mouse model of acute lung injury (ALI) was established, and hucMSCs were administered via tail vein injection to investigate the pathogenesis of ARDS and the protein alterations following hucMSC treatment. Data-independent acquisition (DIA) was employed for the proteomic analysis of lung tissue, which included the identification of differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) and their associated pathways. The relevant DEPs identified in the lung tissues of the three groups of mice included Arid5a, Mrpl4, Cxcl12, and Rnf121 (P <0.05). Silencing the expression of Cxcl12 in hucMSCs could significantly inhibit the therapeutic effect of hucMSCs in reducing the permeability of lung tissue and endothelial cells (P < 0.05). Additionally, the signaling pathways associated with the relevant DEPs were analyzed. The DEPs and the enriched pathways discussed herein provide valuable insights into the pathogenesis of ARDS and the potential applications of hucMSCs.
