Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that commonly causes infections in immunocompromised individuals with significant morbidity and mortality. Quercetin is a natural flavonoid abundantly present in fruits and vegetables, exerting potent anti-inflammatory effects in treatment of various diseases. However, the molecular mechanisms of quercetin in treatment of P. aeruginosa-induced acute lung inflammation are unclear. In this study, we exploited network pharmacology- and molecular docking-based approach to explore the potential mechanisms of quercetin against P. aeruginosa pneumonia, which was further validated via in vivo and in vitro experiments. The in vivo experiments demonstrated that quercetin alleviated the P. aeruginosa-induced lung injury by diminishing neutrophil infiltration and production of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF), which was associated with decreased mortality. Moreover, the quercetin-treated mice displayed decreased phosphorylation levels of PI3K, AKT, IκBα, and NF-κB p65 in lung tissues compared to non-drug-treated mice. Similarly, the in vitro study showed that the phosphorylation of these regulatory proteins and production of the proinflammatory cytokines were impaired in the quercetin-pretreated macrophages upon P. aeruginosa infection. Altogether, this study suggested that quercetin reduced the P. aeruginosa-induced acute lung inflammation by suppressing PI3K/AKT/NF-κB signaling pathway.
