The purpose of the present study was to investigate the protective effect of esculetin (ES) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) and the lung epithelial A549 cells. Mice were intragastrically administered with ES (20 and 40 mg/kg) 1 h prior to LPS challenge. ES pretreatment at doses of 20 and 40 mg/kg effectively attenuated LPS-induced lung histopathological change, myeloperoxidase or MPO activity, inflammatory cells infiltration, pulmonary wet-to-dry weight ratio, and the generation of pro-inflammatory cytokines including tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, we demonstrated that ES blocked the activation of NF-kappa B and RhoA/Rho kinase pathways in LPS-induced mice and A549 cells. The results suggested that ES exhibited protective effect on ALI and might attribute partly to the inhibition of NF-kappa B and RhoA/Rho kinase pathways in vivo and in vitro.
