The study investigated the role and mechanism of neurogenic and exogenous Orexin-A (OXA) in LPS-induced acute lung injury (ALI). The production of OXA in the hypothalamus and lungs was decreased following LPS infection. Administration of exogenous OXA improved lung pathology and reduced inflammatory response by inducing autophagy to suppress macrophage-derived pro-inflammatory cytokine production.
Crosstalk between the central nervous system and immune system by the neuroendocrine and autonomic nervous systems is critical during the inflammatory response. Exposure to endotoxin alters the activity of hypothalamic homeostatic systems, resulting in changed transmitter release within the brain. This study investigated the effects and cellular molecular mechanisms of neurogenic and exogenous orexin-A (OXA) in LPS-induced acute lung injury (ALI). We found the production of OXA in the hypothalamus and lungs was both decreased following LPS infection. LPS-induced lung injury including the destruction of the structure, inflammatory cell infiltration, and pro-inflammatory cytokines generation was aggravated in mice in which orexin neurons were lesioned with the neurotoxin orexin-saporin (orexin-SAP). Administration of exogenous OXA greatly improved lung pathology and reduced inflammatory response. Orexin receptors were found in cultured mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) and lung macrophages (LMs), adoptive transfer of OXA-treated macrophages showed alleviative lung injury compared to adoptive transfer of macrophages without OXA treatment. Mechanistically, it is the induction of autophagy via JNK activation that is responsible for OXA to suppress macrophage-derived pro-inflammatory cytokine production. These findings highlight the importance of neuro-immune crosstalk and indicate that OXA may be a potential therapeutic agent in the treatment of ALI.
