Abstract (original English)
Purpose The "obesity paradox" phenomenon occurs in critically ill patients who receive mechanical ventilation. Our previous studies found that the adipose-derived exosomes secreted by obese mice have a protective effect on the pulmonary microvascular endothelial barrier. However, the extraction of exosomes is cumbersome, their yield is low, and their storage is difficult. After further research, we discovered a new type of adipose-derived bioactive material called: lipoaspirate nanoparticles (Lipo-NPs). Methods Lipo-NPs were extracted and identified using a tangential flow filtration system. The Lipo-NPs were used as an intervention in ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) models in vivo and in vitro to investigate whether they have a protective effect on lung tissue damage (haematoxylin and eosin staining), lung barrier function (lung wet/dry [W/D] weight ratio, protein concentration in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and Vascular endothelial (VE)-expression), as well as their related mechanisms. Results In both in vivo and in vitro studies, Lipo-NPs can attenuate lung injury, reduce lung W/D ratio and protein concentration in BALF, and augment the expression of the adhesion link-protein VE-cadherin, thus playing a protective role in lung barrier function. This protective effect involves the activation of the transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4)/Rho-associated
