Abstract

M1 polarization of macrophages works as a promoter in pathogenesis of acute lung injury / acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) by the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and recruiting Other inflammatory cells. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a critical component of the wall of gram-negative bacteria, can induce M1 polarization and ALI. Recently, cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36) has been reported to be associated with inflammatory responses. However, it has not yet been clarified whether CD36 in macrophages is involved in LPS-induced ALI. Herein, we demonstrated that in macrophages, LPS-induced ALI was regulated by CD36. Loss of CD36 attenuated LPS-induced ALI by reducing M1 polarization. Mechanistically, CD36 promoted macrophage M1 polarization by regulating CD14 associated with TLR4 during LPS stimulation. The findings of this study, clarified the mechanism of LPS-induced ALI through CD36 in macrophages, which provides a potential target for the prevention and treatment of ALI.
