Background  ALI/ARDS is the major cause of acute respiratory failure in critically ill patients. As human chorionic villi-derived MSCs (hCMSCs) could attenuate ALI in the airway injury model, and liraglutide, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) agonist, possesses anti-inflammatory and proliferation promotion functions, we proposed to probe the potential combinatory effect of hCMSCs and liraglutide on ALI.    Methods  We examined the time- and dose-dependent manner of GLP-1R, SPC, Ang-1, and FGF-10 with LPS via western blot and qRT-PCR. Western blot and chromatin immunoprecipitation assay detected the effects of liraglutide on GLP-1R, SPC, Ang-1, and FGF-10 through PKAc/β-catenin pathway and cAMP pathway. In the ALI animal model, we detected the effects of MSC and liraglutide combination on ALI symptoms by H&E staining, western blot, ELISA assays, calculating wet-to-dry ratio of the lung tissue, and counting neutrophils, leukocytes, and macrophages in mouse bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF).    Results  The data demonstrated that LPS reduced hCMSC proliferation and GLP-1R, SPC, Ang-1, and FGF-10 levels in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Liraglutide significantly dampened the reduction of GLP-1R, SPC, Ang-1, and FGF-10 and reversed the effect of LPS on hCMSCs, which could be regulated by GLP-1R and its downstream cAMP/PKAc/β-catenin-TCF4 signaling. Combination of hCMSCs with liraglutide showed more therapeutic efficacy than liraglutide alone in reducing LPS-induced ALI in the animal model.    Conclusions  These results reveal that the combination of hCMSCs and liraglutide might be an effective strategy for ALI treatment.
