Show abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is marked by severe pulmonary edema and concomitant hypoxia, affecting hundreds of thousands of people a year, especially those in critical care conditions or suffering from septic shock. Previous studies have implicated that the ketogenic diet, a high-fat and low-carbohydrate diet, modulates inflammatory responses. However, the impact of the ketogenic diet on septic ARDS outcomes is unknown. Here, we demonstrated that mice on a ketogenic diet showed strikingly reduced lung injury and inflammation compared to those on a control diet during a murine model of endotoxin-induced lung injury, induced by intratracheal lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injection. Immune mass cytometry studies on lung tissue indicated that the ketogenic diet reduces immune cell infiltration. Treating mice with beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), the primary metabolite of ketogenesis, after the onset of ARDS reduced pulmonary edema and lung inflammation, as well as NF-kB activity, suggesting strong therapeutic potential. By multiplex analysis in bronchial alveolar lavage fluid, we observed that the ketogenic diet or BHB administration attenuates the chemotaxis and activation of immune cells. Altogether, our findings reveal that the ketogenic diet provides lung protection during endotoxin-induced lung injury through BHB.
