Abstract
Somatostatin is expressed in various tissues - including the hypothalamus - and strongly suppresses Growth Hormone levels to maintain homeostasis. Synthetic somatostatin analogs are currently used in clinics to treat neuroendocrine tumors and acromegaly. An emerging body of evidence suggests that those synthetic peptides exert anti-inflammatory activities. The present study examines the effect of Lanreotide (LAN) on Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-triggered injury in endothelial cells and mice. Our findings indicate that LAN effectively mitigates LPS-induced endothelial hyperpermeability, inflammation, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells (BPAEC) and human lung microvascular endothelial cells (HULEC-5a). A murine model of LPS-induced acute lung injury was also utilized, to examine the effects of LAN in lung edema and inflammation. Our observations suggest that LAN suppresses LPS-induced myosin light chain 2 (MLC2), Cofilin, extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), STAT1, STAT3, P38 activation; and lung edema. In conclusion, and based on the aforementioned observations, it is suggested that LAN counteracts experimental LPS-induced injury in endothelial cells and mice.
期刊介绍:
Tissue Barriers is the first international interdisciplinary journal that focuses on the architecture, biological roles and regulation of tissue barriers and intercellular junctions. We publish high quality peer-reviewed articles that cover a wide range of topics including structure and functions of the diverse and complex tissue barriers that occur across tissue and cell types, including the molecular composition and dynamics of polarized cell junctions and cell-cell interactions during normal homeostasis, injury and disease state. Tissue barrier formation in regenerative medicine and restoration of tissue and organ function is also of interest. Tissue Barriers publishes several categories of articles including: Original Research Papers, Short Communications, Technical Papers, Reviews, Perspectives and Commentaries, Hypothesis and Meeting Reports. Reviews and Perspectives/Commentaries will typically be invited. We also anticipate to publish special issues that are devoted to rapidly developing or controversial areas of research. Suggestions for topics are welcome. Tissue Barriers objectives: Promote interdisciplinary awareness and collaboration between researchers working with epithelial, epidermal and endothelial barriers and to build a broad and cohesive worldwide community of scientists interesting in this exciting field. Comprehend the enormous complexity of tissue barriers and map cross-talks and interactions between their different cellular and non-cellular components. Highlight the roles of tissue barrier dysfunctions in human diseases. Promote understanding and strategies for restoration of tissue barrier formation and function in regenerative medicine. Accelerate a search for pharmacological enhancers of tissue barriers as potential therapeutic agents. Understand and optimize drug delivery across epithelial and endothelial barriers.
