Graphical illustration of TMP pretreatment-mediated preservation of Golgi stress involved in regulating Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway. When LPS was administrated to C57BL/6J mice or MLE12 alveolar epithelial cells, TMP activated Nrf2/HO-1 pathway, leading to Nrf2 transferred from the cytoplasm to the nucleus, and increased the ARE response to induce target gene of HO-1 expression. Meanwhile, pretreatment of TMP upregulated the expressions of Golgi stress markers GM130, Golgin97, and ATP2C1, yet down-regulated the expression of Golgi stress-inducible protein GOLPH3. In conclusion, TMP pretreatment alleviates Golgi stress in endotoxin-related acute lung injury, thus alleviating the inflammation and oxidative stress of lung tissue, then reducing cell apoptosis or death
