Abstract

Background

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) imposes a significant global health and socioeconomic burden. Exacerbations of COPD (ECOPD), characterized by heightened airway inflammation and mucus hypersecretion, adversely affect patient health and accelerate disease progression. Qingke Pingchuan (QKPC) granules, a formulation from Traditional Chinese Medicine initially prescribed for acute bronchitis, have shown unexplored potential in ECOPD management, with mechanisms of action yet to be clarified.

Purpose

This study investigates the therapeutic effects of QKPC in a mouse model of ECOPD, focusing on underlying molecular mechanisms.

Methods

COPD was induced in mice through chronic cigarette smoke (CS) exposure, followed by intratracheal administration of Pseudomonas aeruginosa lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to trigger exacerbation, after which mice were treated with QKPC granules. Major compounds in QKPC were identified via UHPLC-QE-MS, and high-throughput RNA sequencing of lung tissue samples identified differentially expressed genes. Transcriptomic data were integrated with network pharmacology analysis to pinpoint potential pathways, bioactive compounds, and target genes through which QKPC might attenuate ECOPD. Molecular docking, protein-small molecule binding assays, and in vitro analyses further validated interactions between key compounds and target genes, shedding light on plausible signaling pathways.

Results

QKPC treatment led to significant reductions in airway leukocyte infiltration and goblet cell metaplasia in CS- and LPS-exposed mice, accompanied by decreased levels of inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-1β, CXCL1, and TNF-α) and mucin MUC5AC in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. The integrative transcriptomic and network pharmacology analysis identified the neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation pathway as a key mechanism underlying QKPC's protective effect against ECOPD. In vitro assays demonstrated that epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and quercetin, two important bioactive compounds in QKPC, significantly inhibited NETosis induced by cigarette smoke extract (CSE) plus LPS in human neutrophils. The two compounds were found to interact directly with the reactive oxidative species (ROS)-generating enzyme NOX2 and its regulatory subunit p47phox. Subsequent in vitro studies further confirmed EGCG and quercetin's capacity to reduce ROS production and downregulate NOX2 and p47phox protein levels in neutrophils stimulated with CSE and LPS. Additionally, in vivo studies confirmed QKPC's efficacy in reducing NET formation, oxidative stress, and NOX2/p47phox protein expression in the lung tissue of ECOPD mice.

Conclusion

These findings suggest that QKPC granules alleviate airway inflammation in ECOPD, potentially through inhibition of pulmonary NET formation via the NOX2/p47phox-ROS pathway, underscoring their potential therapeutic application for ECOPD management in clinical settings.
