Background. Extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) is known to be involved in proinflammatory and chemotactic events in response to injury. The aim of this study is to elucidate whether ERK plays any role in 17 beta-estradiol (E2)-mediated attenuation of lung injury and pro-inflammatory mediators after trauma-hemorrhage.Methods. Male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent trauma-hemorrhage (mean blood pressure similar to 40 mm Hg for 90 min) followed by fluid resuscitation. At the onset of resuscitation, rats were treated with vehicle (cyclodextrin), E2 (1 mg/kg body weight [BW]), or the ERK inhibitor PD98059 (2 mg/kg BW). At 2 h after sham operation or trauma-hemorrhage, various parameters were measured.Results. Trauma-hemorrhage led to a significant increase in lung ERK phosphorylation, which was associated with increased lung myeloperoxidase activity, wet-to-dry weight ratio, interleukin (IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor (TAT)-alpha, intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1, cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant (CINC)-1, and macrophage inflammatory protein-2 levels. Circulatory IL-6, TNF-alpha, and lactate levels were also increased after trauma-hemorrhage compared with shams. Administration Of E2 or ERK inhibitor PD98059 after trauma-hemorrhage attenuated the trauma-hemorrhage-induced increase in lung injury markers, ERK phosphorylation and cytokines/chemokines, ICAM-1 production, (is well as circulatory cytokines and lactate levels.Conclusion. These results collectively suggest that the salutary effects of E2 on the lung after trauma-hemorrhage are mediated via an ERK pathway and subsequent downregulation of pro-inflammatory mediator production.
