Acute progressive hypoxic respiratory failure caused by various predisposing factors is known as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Although penehyclidine hydrochloride (PHC), an anticholinergic drug, is widely applied in clinical practice, the specific mechanisms underlying PHC in the treatment of ARDS are not completely understood. In the present study, BEAS‑2B cells were treated with 10 ng/ml lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to establish an ARDS cell model and a rat model of acute lung injury (ALI). The influences of PHC and/or autophagy inhibitor (3‑methyladenine (3‑MA)) on the morphology, autophagy, proliferation and apoptosis of cells and tissues were evaluated using hematoxylin and eosin staining, Cell Counting Kit‑8 assays, Hoechst staining, TUNEL staining, flow cytometry, immunofluorescence assays, ELISAs and scanning electron microscopy. The expression levels of apoptosis‑ and autophagy‑related proteins were measured via western blotting. The results indicated that PHC enhanced proliferation and autophagy, and decreased apoptosis and the inflammatory response in LPS‑induced BEAS‑2B cells and ALI model rats. In addition, 3‑MA reversed the effects of PHC on proliferation, inflammation, apoptosis and autophagy in LPS‑induced BEAS‑2B cells. Therefore, the present study suggested that PHC demonstrated a protective effect in LPS‑induced ARDS by regulating an autophagy‑related pathway.

View all literature mentionsAn award-winning multimedia science and environment series created by KQED, San Francisco, the public media station serving Northern California. Launched in February 2007, by the end of its fourth season (in September 2010), QUEST had reached approximately 36 million viewers and listeners through its traditional TV and radio broadcasts and its growing Web audience. QUEST''s ultimate aim is to raise science literacy in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond, inspiring audiences to discover and explore science and environment issues for themselves. Every season, KQED''s QUEST produces: * half-hour television episodes episodes that air weekly, exploring the cutting-edge work of Northern California scientists and researchers (QUEST airs Wednesdays 7:30pm on KQED Public Television 9); * weekly radio reports covering urban environmental issues which often include multimedia slide shows, and interactive online maps (QUEST airs Mondays 6:30am and 8:30am on KQED Public Radio 88.5 FM); * Educational resources, for use by formal and informal educators; QUEST also provides professional development for science educators to support multimedia and technology integration in science classrooms and programs; * 20 six-minute stories for its new web only series, Science on the SPOT, which takes a fresh, fast and curious look at science with stories about albino redwoods, the science of fog and banana slugs, to name a few. (launched in 2010); * A daily science blog written by Northern California scientists, QUEST producers and science enthusiasts; * Exclusive web extras, featuring extended interviews with scientists; Flickr photos, and science hikes. Formal and informal Educators who would like to become involved withthe educational outreach program should contact: ScienceEd (at) kqed.org.
