Abstract Objective To observe the effects of H2S on structure and function of mitochondria of lung tissue in acute lung injury (ALI) induced sepsis in rats. Methods Eighty male rats were randomly divided into five groups. Sham operation group, ALI group, low dose NaHS group, middle dose NaHS group, high dose NaHS group. Rats were anaesthetized. Cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) technique was used to make the rat models of sepsis.In low, middle and high dose NaHS groups, NaHS (0.78, 1.56 and 3.12 mg/kg) was respectively administrated at 30 min before CLP. Saline (2mL/kg) was administrated in Sham operation group and ALI group. The rats were respectively sacrificed 12 h after CLP. We measured the lung wet-to-dry weight ratio. We further analyzed serum for interleukin-1β levels using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. The lung tissue was quickly excised and was homogenated. The mitochondria are isolated with differential centrifugation. Ultrastructure of lung mitochondria was observed using an electron microscope. The content of malondialdehyde (MDA) and the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) in lung mitochondria and the mitochondrial swelling and activity were determined. Results Compared to the Sham operation group, wet-to-dry weight ratio and interleukin-1 β content in the ALI group were significantly increased. Compared with those of ALI group, wet-to-dry weight ratio and interleukin-1 β content in low, middle and high dose NaHS groups were significantly decreased. Transmission electron microscope showed that there were significant differences between the mitochondrial ultrastructure in the Sham operation group and ALI group in rat lung cells. The mitochondria in rat lung cells was swollen with disrupted or disintegrated cristae, and the osmiophilic lamellar bodies had fused or disappeared in ALI injury group. Compared with those of ALI group, the mitochondrial damage was slightly mitigated in the low-dose NaHS group and significantly mitigated in the middle-dose and high-dose NaHS groups in rats. Compared with those of Sham operation, the MDA content was significantly increased and the SOD, GSH-PX activities significantly decreased in lung mitochondria in the ALI group in rats. Compared with those of the ALI group, the MDA content was significantly decreased and the SOD, GSH-PX activities were significantly increased in lung mitochondria in low, middle and high dose NaHS groups in rats. Compared with those of Sham operation group, the swelling of the lung mitochondria was significantly increased and the activity of the lung mitochondria was significantly decreased in the ALI group in rats. In the low, middle and high dose NaHS groups, the swelling of the lung mitochondria was markedly decreased and the activity of the lung mitochondria was markedly increased compared with those of the ALI group in rats. Conclusion H2S has a beneficial effect against ALI induced by sepsis with decreasing the mitochondrial lipid peroxidation level and protecting the lung tissue cell structure and function.
