YS-01
YS-01 is an inhibitor of pendrin (SLC26A4) with pulmonary protective activity. YS-01 inhibits pendrin-mediated anion exchange activity, reduces pendrin expression, and suppresses the activation of NF-κB and the production of proinflammatory cytokines. YS-01 alleviates lipopolysaccharide-induced and ventilator-induced lung injury. YS-01 attenuates ovalbumin-induced airway hyperresponsiveness, inflammatory infiltration, epithelial thickening and goblet cell hyperplasia, and reduces eosinophil and neutrophil counts. YS-01 decreases MUC5AC transcription levels induced by IL-4, reverses the reduction of airway surface liquid volume, and inhibits the increase of apical SCN− concentration in epithelial cells. YS-01 can be used in studies related to lung injury and allergic asthma.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
YS-01 potently inhibits pendrin-mediated Cl−/SCN− exchange activity in pendrin-transfected human alveolar epithelial cells, with an IC50 of 4.7 μM; it significantly inhibits LPS-induced increase in apical SCN− concentration in human nasal epithelial cells[1].
YS-01 (0-100 μM; 10 minutes at 37°C) potently and selectively inhibits human and mouse pendrin-mediated anion exchange across multiple anion pairs in CHO-K1 cells, and shows no activity against a variety of related ion channels and transporters at relevant concentrations[3].
YS-01 (0-100 μM) inhibits IL-4-induced pendrin-mediated Cl−/HCO3− exchange activity in primary human nasal epithelial cells in a dose-dependent manner, with significant inhibition observed at concentrations as low as 3 μM[3].
YS-01 (30 μM; 24-48 h) reduces the functional expression of IL-4-induced pendrin protein levels in primary human nasal epithelial cells (without affecting mRNA levels) and exerts no effect on related ion channels[3].
YS-01 (30 μM; 30 min) inhibits IL-4-induced transepithelial SCN− transport in primary human nasal epithelial cells cultured at an air-liquid interface[3].
YS-01 reduces IL-4-induced MUC5AC expression and IL-4/IL-13-induced goblet cell hyperplasia in primary human nasal epithelial cells; it rescues the reduction of airway surface liquid volume induced by IL-4 and IL-13 in primary human nasal epithelial cells expressing wild-type pendrin[3].
YS-01 inhibits IL-4-induced activation of NF-κB in primary human nasal epithelial cells[3].

Result:Reduced LPS-evoked pulmonary damage by lowering BALF cell count, protein content and lung injury scores.
Inhibited NF-κB signaling, downregulated pendrin expression and decreased pulmonary pro-inflammatory cytokine production (IL-1β, MIP-2, IL-6, TNF-α) upon LPS stimulation.
Abolished such pulmonary protective effects following co-administration with intranasal NaSCN, with all injury indicators returning to the levels of the LPS-alone group.

RNA extraction experimental
By lysing cells, releasing RNA, and removing impurities such as proteins and DNA, high-purity RNA products are finally obtained. The commonly used traditional method is the guanidine isothiocyanate/phenol/chloroform method (Trizol), which is suitable for a variety of animal materials including animal tissues, microorganisms, cultured cells, etc., and most plant materials.

Ovalbumin-Induced Allergic Airway Inflammation
Ovalbumin-induced allergic airway inflammation is a mouse model in which systemic sensitization to ovalbumin, usually with aluminum hydroxide adjuvant, is followed by airway ovalbumin challenge to induce allergic airway inflammation, eosinophil recruitment, mucus production, serum antigen-specific IgE, Th2 cytokine responses, and airway hyperresponsiveness to methacholine. The model is used to study allergen-driven airway inflammation and asthma-like immune responses, but it does not reproduce every feature of human asthma. The main readouts are bronchoalveolar lavage fluid cellularity, lung histopathology, airway hyperresponsiveness, serum OVA-specific IgE, and cytokines such as IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid or lung samples. Eosinophilia and Th2 cytokines reflect allergic type 2 inflammation, while methacholine responsiveness provides a functional airway-reactivity endpoint.

Research Protocol for Inflammation-related Diseases
The NLRP3 inflammasome is a cytosolic innate immune signaling platform that integrates priming signals and danger-signal activation to promote caspase-1 activation, maturation of IL-1β and IL-18, and gasdermin D-mediated pyroptotic cell death. The core experimental logic is to determine whether inflammatory disease phenotypes are driven by increased NLRP3 expression, ASC-containing inflammasome assembly, caspase-1 cleavage, GSDMD cleavage, and extracellular release of IL-1β/IL-18 rather than by nonspecific cell injury alone. The pathway is strongly linked to inflammation-related disease phenotypes because monosodium urate crystals activate NALP3/NLRP3 inflammasome signaling in gout-like crystal inflammation, cholesterol crystals activate NLRP3 inflammasomes in atherogenesis models, and DSS-induced intestinal inflammation has been reported to involve NLRP3 inflammasome activity. However, experimental colitis studies also show context-dependent protective effects of NLRP3 inflammasome co

Inhalation Toxicity Study
Inhalation toxicity studies expose rodents to a controlled aerosol, vapor, gas, or smoke atmosphere and assess respiratory and systemic toxicity using exposure-atmosphere characterization, clinical observations, body and organ weights, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, histopathology, blood chemistry, hematology, and, when included, molecular endpoints such as transcriptomics, proteomics, lipidomics, or tissue burden analysis. The primary biological readouts are airway irritation, pulmonary inflammation, cytotoxicity, altered surfactant or lipid homeostasis, impaired particle clearance, and tissue remodeling, reflected by BALF cell differentials, BALF protein, LDH, phosphatase activities, cytokines, lung weight, microscopic respiratory-tract lesions, and retained lung burden.
