Serum, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and lung tissues were collected for analysis.Results: Our results showed that P22077 treatment significantly improved the airway inflammation of COPD model RAT and reduced the recruitment of leukocytes in BALF, and hypersecretion of interleukin-18 (IL-18), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in BALF and serum. H&E staining showed that P22077 treatment could effectively reduce emphysema, immune cell infiltration and airway wall destruction. PAS staining showed that The proliferation of cup cells in the airway wall and the number of bronchial cup cells were significantly reduced in rats treated with P22077. In addition, we found that P22077 treatment suppressed the generation of the NLRP3/ASC/Caspase 1 inflammasome complex to inhibit the inflammatory response caused by IL-1β and IL-18.Conclusion: Conclusion: P22077 inhibits expression of NLRP3 pathway-related inflammatory factors and proteins and reduces the airway inflammatory response and inflammatory cell aggregation in COPD rats. The underlying mechanism may be related to the down-regulation of NLRP3 inflammatory vesicle signaling pathway expression.Keywords: COPD, ubiquitinase inhibitors, P22077, airway inflammation, NLRP3
