Seawater aspiration may result in acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS), which is characterized by pulmonary inflammation and lung edema that closely related to pulmonary barrier dysfunction and intracellular communication. The aim of the present research was to explore the role of connexion 43 (Cx43) in seawater aspiration-induced ALI/ARDS. The results from in vivo experiments showed that seawater inhalation led to increased expression of p-PKC and phosphorylated Cx43 (p-Cx43), which were followed by protein rich fluid leakage and TNF-α and IL-1β secretion. Besides, the results from in vitro tests proved that the expression of p-PKC directly influenced phosphorylation state of Cx43 and its function, which could further affect the inflammatory factors secretion and intercellular communication. In conclusion, seawater aspiration causes p-Cx43 expression by PKC pathway, which is involved in the on come and development of pulmonary inflammation and lung edema.
