Sodium tanshinone IIA sulfonate protects against acute exacerbation of cigarette smoke-induced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in mice

Exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by acute airway inflammation and mucus hypersecretion, which is by far the most costly aspect of its management. Thus, it is essential to develop therapeutics with low side effects for CODP exacerbation. Sodium tanshinone IIA sulfonate (STS) is a water-soluble derivative of tanshinone IIA isolated as the major active component of Chinese herbal medicine Danshen. Although it possesses anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative and anti-apoptotic properties, it remains unknown whether STS protects against COPD exacerbation. In this study, we challenged cigarette smoke (CS)-exposed mice with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and then treated these mice with STS. We found that STS significantly ameliorated pulmonary inflammatory responses, mucus hypersecretion and lung function decline in CS-exposed mice challenged with LPS. STS treatment also significantly attenuated increased IL-6 and IL-8 releases from cigarette smoke extract (CSE)-treated human bronchial epithelial cells (16HBE) challenged with LPS. Mechanistically, STS reduced activation of ERK1/2 and NF-κB in lungs of CS-exposed mice and CSE-treated 16HBE cells challenged with LPS. Taken together, STS protects against acute exacerbation of CS-induced lung injury, which provides a promising and potential therapeutic avenue to halt acute exacerbation of COPD.
