Methotrexate (MTX) is a folate-antagonist that induces the generation of adenosine and also inhibits JAK\/STAT pathway; MTX it is widely used as an anti-inflammatory drug to control the immune system. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the beneficial effects of a single and low dose of MTX in the systemic response and acute lung injury (ALI) induced by sepsis. As in the clinics, we treated our animals with antibiotics and fluids and performed the source control to mimic the current clinic treatment. Methods and main results: Sepsis was induced in rats by a cecal ligation puncture (CLP) procedure. Six hours after induction of sepsis, we proceeded to the source control; fluids and antibiotics were administered at 6 h and 24 h after CLP. MTX (2.5 mg\/Kg) was administered 6 h after the first surgery in one CLP experimental group and to one Sham group. A protective effect of MTX was observed through a significant reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines and a decrease infiltration of inflammatory cells in the lung. In addition, we found a regulation in adenosine receptor A2aR and the metalloproteinases by MTX. Conclusion: A single, low dose of MTX attenuates sepsis lung-associated damage by decreasing pro-inflammatory response, infiltration of pro-inflammatory cells and avoiding defective tissue lung remodeling.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms22179612","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,6]],"date-time":"2021-09-06T13:15:56Z","timestamp":1630934156000},"page":"9612","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Methotrexate Ameliorates Systemic Inflammation and Septic Associated-Lung Damage in a Cecal Ligation and Puncture Septic Rat Model"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9873-3354","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Josep","family":"Bringu\u00e9","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut d\u2019 Investigaci\u00f3 i Innovaci\u00f3 Parc Taul\u00ed (I3PT), 08201 Sabadell, Spain"},{"name":"CIBER de Enfermedades Respiratorias (CIBERES), 08201 Sabadell, Spain"},{"name":"Facultat de Medicina, Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, 08193 Bellaterra, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6960-0985","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Raquel","family":"Guillamat-Prats","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut d\u2019 Investigaci\u00f3 i Innovaci\u00f3 Parc Taul\u00ed (I3PT), 08201 Sabadell, Spain"},{"name":"CIBER de Enfermedades Respiratorias (CIBERES), 08201 Sabadell, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7691-3397","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria","family":"Martinez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Critical Care Center\u2014Hospital Universitario General de Catalunya, 08190 Sant Cugat del Valles, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eva","family":"Torrents","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Critical Care Center\u2014Corporaci\u00f3 Sanit\u00e0ria i Universit\u00e0ria Parc Taul\u00ed, 08201 Sabadell, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4085-5324","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marta","family":"Camprub\u00ed-Rimblas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut d\u2019 Investigaci\u00f3 i Innovaci\u00f3 Parc Taul\u00ed (I3PT), 08201 Sabadell, Spain"},{"name":"CIBER de Enfermedades Respiratorias (CIBERES), 08201 Sabadell, Spain"},{"name":"Facultat de Medicina, Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, 08193 Bellaterra, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Llu\u00eds","family":"Blanch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut d\u2019 Investigaci\u00f3 i Innovaci\u00f3 Parc Taul\u00ed (I3PT), 08201 Sabadell, Spain"},{"name":"CIBER de Enfermedades Respiratorias (CIBERES), 08201 Sabadell, Spain"},{"name":"Critical Care Center\u2014Corporaci\u00f3 Sanit\u00e0ria i Universit\u00e0ria Parc Taul\u00ed, 08201 Sabadell, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8029-1017","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antonio","family":"Artigas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut d\u2019 Investigaci\u00f3 i Innovaci\u00f3 Parc Taul\u00ed (I3PT), 08201 Sabadell, Spain"},{"name":"CIBER de Enfermedades Respiratorias (CIBERES), 08201 Sabadell, Spain"},{"name":"Facultat de Medicina, Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, 08193 Bellaterra, Spain"},{"name":"Critical Care Center\u2014Corporaci\u00f3 Sanit\u00e0ria i Universit\u00e0ria Parc Taul\u00ed, 08201 Sabadell, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"580","DOI":"10.1097\/CCM.0b013e31827e83af","article-title":"Surviving Sepsis Campaign: International Guidelines for Management of Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock: 2012","volume":"41","author":"Dellinger","year":"2013","journal-title":"Crit.
