| Background | |  |
Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is a serious blood transfusion complication characterized by the acute onset of noncardiogenic pulmonary edema following transfusion of blood products. Acute pancreatitis-associated lung injury (acute pancreatitis associated lung injury, APALI) is the most common and severe complication in patients with severe acute pancreatitis complicated with multiple system organ failure. Rapamycin is a new macrolide immunosuppressant. The recent report has shown that rapamycin could inhibit the inflammatory reaction induced by NF-B activation and neutrophil, but till now, the effect of rapamycin in acute lung injury caused by blood transfusion and acute pancreatitis is unknown. The amplification curves of real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR showed obvious “S” type [Figure 1]a, [Figure 1]b,[Figure 1]c. The melting curve showed no impurity peak and no abnormal broadening of the main peak occurred [Figure 2]a, [Figure 2]b, [Figure 2]c. | Figure 1: Gene amplification curves: (a) Reference gene β-actin, (b) target gene NF-κB p65 and (c) target gene STAT-1

Objective
To observe the effect of rapamycin on gene expression of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) p65 and STAT-1 in Sprague–Dawley rats with acute lung injury.
| Methods | | |
The animal models of TRALI and APALI were prepared using Sprague–Dawley rats. Histopathological examination of lung tissues validated acute lung injury. Gene expression in NF-κB p65 and STAT-1 was detected by real-time fluorescent qualification RT-PCR on the control of beta-actin (housekeeping gene).
| Results | | |
The gene expression of NF-κB p65 and STAT-1 in TRALI and APALI group was downregulated to a different extent (P < 0.05), and APALI group decreased more than TRALI group (P < 0.01). The gene expression of NF-κB p65 and STAT-1 in rapamycin intervention TRALI group decreased more than TRALI group (P < 0.01), while rapamycin intervention APALI group did not decrease significantly compared to APALI group (P > 0.05).
| Conclusions | | |
In the present study, we first established TRALI and acute pancreatitis-associated lung injury SD rat model and then observed the effect of rapamycin on gene expression of NF-κB p65 and STAT-1 in Sprague–Dawley Rats with acute lung injury induced by blood transfusion. Further aggravating the lung injury of TRALI, rapamycin had limited effects on APALI.
