Acute lung injury (ALI) is a clinical respiratory disease caused by various factors, which lacks effective pharmacotherapy to reduce the mortality rate. Elsholtzia bodinieri Vaniot is an annual herbaceous plant used as a traditional herbal tea and folk medicine. Here we used bioinformatic databases and software to explore and analyze the potential key genes in ALI regulated by E. bodinieri Vaniot, including B cell leukemia/lymphoma 2 ( Bcl2 ), prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 ( Ptgs2 ) and NAD(P)H dehydrogenase, quinone 1 ( Nqo1 ). In an inflammatory cells model, we verified bioinformatics results, and further mechanistic analysis showed that methanol extract of E. bodinieri Vaniot (EBE) could alleviate oxidative stress by upregulating the expression of NQO1, suppress pyroptosis by upregulating the expression of BCL2, and attenuate inflammation by downregulating the expression of PTGS2. In sum, our results demonstrated that EBE treatment could alleviate oxidative stress, suppress pyroptosis and attenuate inflammation by regulating NQO1, BCL2 and PTGS2 in a cells model, and E. bodinieri Vaniot might be a promising source for functional food or as a therapeutic agent.
