Objective: To examine the effect of downregulation of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) on severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) associated with acute lung injury (ALI), and its subsequent effect on disease severity.Methods: Wistar rats were given an IV injection of pRNA-U6.1/Neo-HMGB1, pRNA-U6.1/Neo-vector or saline before induction of SAP. Then, SAP was induced in rats by the retrograde injection of 5% sodium taurocholate into the pancreatic duct. The control group received only a sham operation. Lung and pancreas samples were harvested after induction of SAP. The protein levels of HMGB1, matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) in lung tissue were investigated. The severity of pancreatic injury was determined by a histological score of pancreatic injury, serum amylase, and pancreatic water content. The lung injury was evaluated by measurement of pulmonary microvascular permeability, lung myeloperoxidase activity and malondialdehyde levels.Results: The results found that in pRNA-U6.1/Neo-HMGB1 treated rats, serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) levels were decreased and the severity of pancreatic tissue injury was less compared with either untreated SAP or pRNA-U6.1/Neo-vector treated rats (P
