Objective To investigate the effect of curcumin on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation and apoptosis in alveolar macrophage via microRNA-132 (miR-132)/high mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1).Methods The cultured mouse alveolar macrophage line (RAW264.7 cells) were divided into the control group, the LPS group, the LPS+50 μmol/L curcumin group, and the LPS+100 μmol/L curcumin group. Forty-eight hours after drug treatment, the levels of miR-132/HMGB1, inflammatory mediator and apoptotic were detected. Secondly, the empty vector, synthetic miR-132 mimics and inhibitors were transfected into another cultured mouse alveolar macrophage line (RAW264.7 cells) to detect the inflammation and apoptosis of alveolar macrophage after transfection.Results Compared with the control group, in the LPS group, the apoptosis of alveolar macrophage, the levels of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and the expression of miR-132 increased, while the expression of HMGB1 decreased (P<0.05); compared with the LPS group, in the two curcumin groups, the apoptosis of alveolar macrophage, the levels of IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α, and the expression of miR-132 decreased, while the expression of HMGB1 increased (P<0.05); and the greater the drug concentration, the more obvious the effect (P<0.05). In addition, up-regulation of miR-132 reduced the expression of HMGB1 in alveolar macrophage, increased inflammatory factor, and induced apoptosis in alveolar macrophage; however, down-regulation of miR-132 increased the expression of HMGB1 in alveolar macrophage, reduced inflammatory factor, and inhibited apoptosis in alveolar macrophage (P<0.05).Conclusion Curcumin could decrease LPS-induced inflammation and apoptosis in alveolar macrophage via decreasing miR-132 and increasing HMGB1.
