Pre-clinical studies investigating the role of acetylsalicylic acid in lung injury

Reference Lung injury model Drug (dose; (pre)-treatment) Animal (n/group) Conclusion
Leeman et al[26] (1988) Oleic acid iv ASA (1 g iv; Treatment) Dog (n=8 all groups) ↑ PaO2,
↓venous admixture
↓ intra pulmonary shunt
Sigurdsson et al[27] (1989) Ethanolamine oleate iv. ASA (10 mg/kg, Pretreatment) Sheep(n=7 vs 8 control) prevent PHT
prevent lung edema
preserved PaO2
Chelucci et al[28] (1992) Oleic acid i.v. ASA (10 mg/kg; Pretreatment) Sheep (n=6 vs 8 control) no morphological benefit
no significant change of static compliance of respiratory system and on flow resistance of the airway at 3h
Gonçalves de Moraes et al[29] (1996) LPS inhalation ASA (50mg/kg; Pretreatment) Mice (n=5 or 6) ↑ inflammation
Fukunaga et al[30] (2005) HCl intrabronchial ASA (125mg/kg; Treatment and Pretreatment) Mice (n=3–5) ↓ inflammation
Zarbock et al[31] (2006) HCL-intratracheal ASA ( 1 g/kg; Pretreatment) Mice (n=4–5) ↓ inflammation
↑ PaO2/FiO2 (mmHg)
Jin et al[32] (2007) LPS inhalation AT-LX4 (0.7mg/kg; Treatment) Mice (n=6) ↓ lung edema
↓ microvascular permeability
↓ Inflammation
↑ survival ( at 72 h)
El Kebir et al[33] (2009) Carrageenan + MPO intratracheal or E. coli intraperitoneal AT-15 epiLXA4 (200 μg/kg; Treatment) Mice (n=6–10) ↓ inflammation
Eickmeier et al[34] (2013) HCL intrabronchial AT-RvD1 (0,5–5ug/kg; Treatment and Pretreatment) Mice (n≥3–6) ↓ lung edema
↓ resistance
↓ inflammation
↑restitution of lung- barrier function
Tuinman et al[35] (2013) LPS intranasal ASA(12.5 mg/kg) or 100 mg/kg; Pretreatment) Mice (n=8 all groups) ASA protects against ARDS. High dose ASA is superior to low-dose ASA.
Ortiz-Muñoz et al[38] (2014) LPS intratracheal ASA (100mg/kg Pretreatment with or without AT-15 epiLXA4 (100–5000ng; Pretreatment and Treatment) Mice (n=3–10) ↓ inflammation
↓ permeability
Two-event LPS-primed/MHC 1 mAb TRALI model ASA (100mg/kg Pretreatment with or without AT-15 epiLXA4 (100–5000ng; Pretreatment and Treatment) ↓inflammation
lower dose: not effective
Tang et al[39] (2014) Anti-BSA IgG intratracheal and iv. AT-RvD1 (500 ng; Pretreatment) Mice (n=3–5) ↓ lung injury and mortality
Cox et al[40] ( 2015) Hyperoxia AT-RvD1 (100 ng; Treatment) Mice (n=6–10) ↓ inflammation
↓ permeability
Looney et al[36] (2009) Two-event LPS-primed/MHC I mAb TRALI model ASA (100mg/kg; Pretreatment) Mice (n=4–10) ↓ inflammation
↓ permeability ↓ mortality
Caudrillier et al[37] (2012) Two-event LPS-primed/MHC I mAb TRALI model ASA (100mg/kg; Pretreatment) Mice (n=6–9) ↓NETs (leading to ↓ lung injury)
