MRI/PAI Dual-modal Imaging-guided Precise Tracking of Bone Marrow-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Labeled with Nanoparticles for Treating Liver Cirrhosis. J Clin Transl Hepatol 2023; 11:382-392. [PMID: 36643042 PMCID: PMC9817052 DOI: 10.14218/jcth.2021.00580] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2021] [Revised: 03/24/2022] [Accepted: 05/05/2022] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Stem cell transplantation is a potential treatment option for liver cirrhosis (LC). Accurately and noninvasively monitoring the distribution, migration, and prognosis of transplanted stem cells using imaging methods is important for in-depth study of the treatment mechanisms. Our study aimed to develop Au-Fe3O4 silica nanoparticles (NPs) as tracking nanoplatforms for dual-modal stem cell imaging. METHODS Au-Fe3O4 silica NPs were synthesized by seed-mediated growth method and co-precipitation. The efficiency and cytotoxicity of the NPs-labeled bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) were evaluated by Cell Counting Kit-8 assays, ICP-MS, phenotypic characterization, and histological staining. The biodistribution of labeled BM-MSCs injected through different routes (the hepatic artery or tail vein) into rats with LC was detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), photoacoustic imaging (PAI), and Prussian blue staining. RESULTS Synthesized Au-Fe3O4 silica NPs consisted of a core (star-shaped Au NPs) and an outside silica layer doped with Fe3O4 NPs. After 24 h coincubation with 2.0 OD concentration of NPs, the viability of BM-MSCs was 77.91%±5.86% and the uptake of Au and Fe were (22.65±1.82) µg/mL and (234.03±11.47) µg/mL, respectively. The surface markers of labeled BM-MSCs unchanged significantly. Labeled BM-MSCs have osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation potential. Post injection in vivo, rat livers were hypointense on MRI and hyperintense on PAI. Prussian blue staining showed that more labeled BM-MSCs accumulated in the liver of the hepatic artery group. The severity of LC of the rats in the hepatic artery group was significantly alleviated. CONCLUSIONS Au-Fe3O4 silica NPs were suitable MRI/PAI dual-modal imaging nanoplatforms for stem cell tracking in regenerative medicine. Transhepatic arterial infusion of BM-MSCs was the optimal route for the treatment of LC.

[PMID: 37105441 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2023.121726] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2023] [Revised: 04/10/2023] [Accepted: 04/20/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023]
Abstract
AIMS To identify alterations of specific gene expression, immune infiltration components, and potential biomarkers in liver ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) following liver transplantation (LT). MATERIALS AND METHODS GSE23649 and GSE151648 datasets were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. To determine the differentially expressed genes (DEGs), we utilized the R package "limma". We also identify the infiltration of different immune cells through single-sample gene-set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA). Furthermore, we utilized LASSO logistic regression to select feature genes and Spearman's rank correlation analysis to determine the correlation between these genes and infiltrating immune cells. Finally, the significance of these feature genes was confirmed using a mouse model of hepatic IRI. KEY FINDINGS A total of 17 DEGs were acquired, most of which were associated with inflammation, apoptosis, cell proliferation, immune disorders, stress response, and angiogenesis. 28 immune cell types were determined using ssGSEA. 5 feature genes (ADM, KLF6, SERPINE1, SLC20A1, and HBB) were screened using LASSO analysis, but the HBB gene was ultimately excluded due to the lack of statistical significance in the GSE151648 dataset. These 4 feature genes were predominantly related to immune cells. Finally, 15 significantly distinctive types of immune cells between the control and IRI groups were verified. SIGNIFICANCE We unveiled that macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs), neutrophils, CD4 T cells, and other immune cells infiltrated the IRI that occurred after LT. Moreover, we identified ADM, KLF6, SERPINE1, and SLC20A1 as potential biological biomarkers underlying IRI post-transplant, which may improve the diagnosis and prognosis of this condition.

Abstract
Several studies have shown that males suffer more severe damage than females in the process of ischemia and reperfusion of the brain, heart and kidney. Accordingly, our study will reveal the correlation between the severity of hepatic ischemia‒reperfusion injury (HIRI) and sex, and preliminarily analyze the underlying mechanism. A total of 75 patients who were considered to have "benign liver tumors" at the initial admission and underwent partial hepatectomy were enrolled. We identified potential differences between different groups and discussed the correlation between the severity of HIRI and sex through a comparative analysis. Results showed that HIRI was more severe in males than in females, especially in younger patients. To explore whether estrogen level differences are the main reason for the sex differences in HIRI, we further revealed that HIRI in premenopausal females was more severe than that in postmenopausal females. By comparing the levels of gonadal hormones, we speculated that multiple gonadal hormones, including follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone and testosterone, may jointly participate in the regulation of sex differences in HIRI together with estrogen.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is one of the most common complications in liver transplantation. METTL3 regulates inflammation and various cellular stress responses via modulating RNA m6A modification level. Here, the study aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of METTL3 in IRI after rat orthotopic liver transplantation. Firstly, m6A dot blot assay showed that total RNA m6A modification level in grafts was down-regulated, which echoed with the downregulation of METTL3. Furthermore, METTL3 pretreatment in donor significantly reduced liver grafts necrosis formation, apoptosis, improved liver function and depressed the proinflammatory cytokine/chemokine expression. Mechanistically, western blot and immunohistochemical showed that METTL3 inhibited apoptosis via upregulating HO-1. Moreover, MeRIP-qPCR assay revealed that METTL3 promoted HO-1 expression in an m6A-dependent manner. Additionally, METTL3 alleviated primary hepatocytes apoptosis by upregulating HO-1 under hypoxia/reoxygenation condition. Taken together, these results demonstrated that METTL3 exerted a cytoprotective role against IRI via inducing HO-1 in an m6A-dependent manner.

Abstract
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) is a critical complication after liver surgery that negatively affects surgical outcomes of patients with the end-stage liver-related disease. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are responsible for the development of ischemia-reperfusion injury and eventually lead to hepatic dysfunction. Selenium-doped carbon quantum dots (Se-CQDs) with an excellent redox-responsive property can effectively scavenge ROS and protect cells from oxidation. However, the accumulation of Se-CQDs in the liver is extremely low. To address this concern, the fabrication of Se-CQDs-lecithin nanoparticles (Se-LEC NPs) is developed through self-assembly mainly driven by the noncovalent interactions. Lecithin acting as the self-assembly building block also makes a pivotal contribution to the therapeutic performance of Se-LEC NPs due to its capability to react with ROS. The fabricated Se-LEC NPs largely accumulate in the liver, effectively scavenge ROS and inhibit the release of inflammatory cytokines, thus exerting beneficial therapeutic efficacy on HIRI. This work may open a new avenue for the design of self-assembled Se-CQDs NPs for the treatment of HIRI and other ROS-related diseases.

Abstract
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) is a major complication of liver resection or liver transplantation that can seriously affect patient's prognosis. There is currently no definitive and effective treatment strategy for HIRI. Autophagy is an intracellular self-digestion pathway initiated to remove damaged organelles and proteins, which maintains cell survival, differentiation, and homeostasis. Recent studies have shown that autophagy is involved in the regulation of HIRI. Numerous drugs and treatments can change the outcome of HIRI by controlling the pathways of autophagy. This review mainly discusses the occurrence and development of autophagy, the selection of experimental models for HIRI, and the specific regulatory pathways of autophagy in HIRI. Autophagy has considerable potential in the treatment of HIRI.

Abstract
The liver displays a remarkable regenerative capacity in response to acute liver injury. In addition to the proliferation of hepatocytes during liver regeneration, non-parenchymal cells, including liver macrophages, liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs), and hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) play critical roles in liver repair and regeneration. Liver ischemia–reperfusion injury (IRI) is a major cause of increased liver damage during liver resection, transplantation, and trauma. Impaired liver repair increases postoperative morbidity and mortality of patients who underwent liver surgery. Successful liver repair and regeneration after liver IRI requires coordinated interplay and synergic actions between hepatic resident cells and recruited cell components. However, the underlying mechanisms of liver repair after liver IRI are not well understood. Recent technological advances have revealed the heterogeneity of each liver cell component in the steady state and diseased livers. In this review, we describe the progress in the biology of liver non-parenchymal cells obtained from novel technological advances. We address the functional role of each cell component in response to liver IRI and the interactions between diverse immune repertoires and non-hematopoietic cell populations during the course of liver repair after liver IRI. We also discuss how these findings can help in the design of novel therapeutic approaches. Growing insights into the cellular interactions during liver IRI would enhance the pathology of liver IRI understanding comprehensively and further develop the strategies for improvement of liver repair.

Abstract
Dimethyl fumarate (DMF), a therapeutic agent for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, has cytoprotective and antioxidant effects. Ferroptosis, a pathological cell death process, is recently shown to play a vital part in ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). This study aimed to unveil the suppressive role of DMF on ferroptosis in liver IRI. The anti-ferroptosis effect of DMF on hepatic IRI was investigated using a liver IRI mouse model and a hypoxia-reoxygenation injury (HRI) model in alpha mouse liver (AML12) cells. Serum transaminase concentrations reflected liver function. Hematoxylin and eosin staining was used to assess liver damage. Cell viability was evaluated utilizing the CCK-8 assay. Malondialdehyde (MDA), the reduced glutathione/oxidized glutathione (GSH/GSSG) ratio, and BODIPY 581/591C11 were measured to estimate the injury caused by lipid peroxidation. Western blotting and real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were performed to explore the underlying molecular mechanisms. We demonstrated the anti-ferroptosis effects of DMF both in vivo and in vitro. DMF treatment ameliorated hepatic IRI. KEGG enrichment analysis and transmission electron microscopy revealed a close relationship between ferroptosis and liver IRI. Furthermore, DMF protected against HRI by inhibiting ferroptosis via activating the nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (NRF2) pathway. Interestingly, NRF2 knockdown notably decreased the expression of SLC7A11 and HO-1 and blocked the anti-ferroptosis effects of DMF. DMF inhibits ferroptosis by activating the NRF2/SLC7A11/HO-1 axis and exerts a protective effect against hepatic IRI.

Abstract
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) is the main complication and even mortality in the setting of hepatic surgery or transplantation. Inflammation, especially the neutrophil response, plays important roles during the process of HIRI. In this study, we found that resveratrol preintervention ameliorated IRI-induced hepatic injury and neutrophil inflammatory responses in the liver. Moreover, RNA-sequencing analysis showed that resveratrol inhibited the functions of neutrophils, such as survival, cell cycle, migration and chemotaxis, oxidative stress and secretion of proinflammatory cytokines. Resveratrol restrained oxidative stress and the inflammatory response of neutrophils via inhibition of endothelin 1 autocrine signaling by suppressing the ERK signaling pathway. These data provide more evidence for the immunomodulatory role of resveratrol and enrich our understanding of immune strategies to improve HIRI.

Abstract
Liver ischemia-reperfusion injury (LIRI) is a major cause of the development of complications in different clinical settings such as liver resection and liver transplantation. Damage arising from LIRI is a major risk factor for early graft rejection and is associated with higher morbidity and mortality after surgery. Although the mechanisms leading to the injury of parenchymal and non-parenchymal liver cells are not yet fully understood, mitochondrial dysfunction is recognized as a hallmark of LIRI that exacerbates cellular injury. Mitochondria play a major role in glucose metabolism, energy production, reactive oxygen species (ROS) signaling, calcium homeostasis and cell death. The diverse roles of mitochondria make it essential to preserve mitochondrial health in order to maintain cellular activity and liver integrity during liver ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). A growing body of studies suggest that protecting mitochondria by regulating mitochondrial biogenesis, fission/fusion and mitophagy during liver I/R ameliorates LIRI. Targeting mitochondria in conditions that exacerbate mitochondrial dysfunction, such as steatosis and aging, has been successful in decreasing their susceptibility to LIRI. Studying mitochondrial dysfunction will help understand the underlying mechanisms of cellular damage during LIRI which is important for the development of new therapeutic strategies aimed at improving patient outcomes. In this review, we highlight the progress made in recent years regarding the role of mitochondria in liver I/R and discuss the impact of liver conditions on LIRI.

Abstract
BackgroundHepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is an unavoidable pathological process that occurs after liver transplantation. However, the immune-related molecular mechanism still remains unclear. This study aims to further explore the biological mechanisms of immune-related genes in hepatic I/R injury.MethodsGene microarray data was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) expression profile database and the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were taken for intersection. After identifying common DEGs, functional annotation, protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, and modular construction were performed. The immune-related hub genes were obtained, which their upstream transcription factors and non-RNAs were predicted. Validation of the hub genes expression and immune infiltration were performed in a mouse model of hepatic I/R injury.ResultsA total of 71 common DEGs were obtained from three datasets (GSE12720, GSE14951, GSE15480). The GO and KEGG enrichment analysis results indicated that immune and inflammatory response played an important role in hepatic I/R injury. Finally, 9 immune-related hub genes were identified by intersecting cytoHubba with immune-related genes, including SOCS3, JUND, CCL4, NFKBIA, CXCL8, ICAM1, IRF1, TNFAIP3, and JUN.ConclusionOur study revealed the importance of the immune and inflammatory response in I/R injury following liver transplantation and provided new insights into the therapeutic of hepatic I/R injury.

Abstract
For almost nearly a century, memory functions have been attributed only to acquired immune cells. Lately, this paradigm has been challenged by an increasing number of studies revealing that innate immune cells are capable of exhibiting memory-like features resulting in increased responsiveness to subsequent challenges, a process known as trained immunity (known also as innate memory). In contrast, the refractory state of endotoxin tolerance has been defined as an immunosuppressive state of myeloid cells portrayed by a significant reduction in the inflammatory capacity. Both training as well tolerance as adaptive features are reported to be accompanied by epigenetic and metabolic alterations occurring in cells. While training conveys proper protection against secondary infections, the induction of endotoxin tolerance promotes repairing mechanisms in the cells. Consequently, the inappropriate induction of these adaptive cues may trigger maladaptive effects, promoting an increased susceptibility to secondary infections—tolerance, or contribute to the progression of the inflammatory disorder—trained immunity. This review aims at the discussion of these opposing manners of innate immune and non-immune cells, describing the molecular, metabolic and epigenetic mechanisms involved and interpreting the clinical implications in various inflammatory pathologies.

MLKL deficiency attenuated hepatocyte oxidative DNA damage by activating mitophagy to suppress macrophage cGAS-STING signaling during liver ischemia and reperfusion injury.

Abstract
Mixed-lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL)-mediated necroptosis has been implicated in aggravating liver ischemia and reperfusion (IR) injury. However, the precise role and mechanism of MLKL in regulating oxidative DNA damage of hepatocytes and subsequent activation of macrophage stimulator of interferon genes (STING) signaling remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the role of MLKL in regulating the interplay between hepatocyte injury and macrophage pro-inflammatory responses during liver IR injury. We found that IR increased MLKL expression in liver tissues of wild type (WT) mice. MLKL knockout (KO) attenuated liver IR injury and suppressed the activation of cGAS-STING signaling in intrahepatic macrophages, which was abrogated by STING activation with its agonist. Mechanistically, IR induced oxidative DNA damage in hepatocytes, leading to cGAS-STING activation in macrophages, which was suppressed by MLKL KO. Moreover, increased PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1)-mediated mitophagy contributed to reduced oxidative DNA damage in hepatocytes and subsequent decreased activation of STING signaling in macrophages in MLKL KO mice. Our findings demonstrated a non-canonical role of MLKL in the pathogenesis of liver IR. MLKL deficiency significantly promoted PINK1-mediated mitophagy activation to inhibit oxidative DNA damage in hepatocytes, which in turn suppressed macrophage cGAS-STING activation and inflammatory liver IR injury.

Abstract
Acute liver injury (ALI) is a globally important public health issue that, when severe, rapidly progresses to acute liver failure, seriously compromising the life safety of patients. The pathogenesis of ALI is defined by massive cell death in the liver, which triggers a cascade of immune responses. Studies have shown that the aberrant activation of the nod-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome plays an important role in various types of ALI and that the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome causes various types of programmed cell death (PCD), and these cell death effectors can in turn regulate NLRP3 inflammasome activation. This indicates that NLRP3 inflammasome activation is inextricably linked to PCD. In this review, we summarize the role of NLRP3 inflammasome activation and PCD in various types of ALI (APAP, liver ischemia reperfusion, CCl4, alcohol, Con A, and LPS/D-GalN induced ALI) and analyze the underlying mechanisms to provide references for future relevant studies.

Abstract
Neutrophils, the largest innate immune cell population in humans, are the primary proinflammatory sentinel in the ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) mechanism in orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 1 (CEACAM1, CC1, or CD66a) is essential in neutrophil activation and serves as a checkpoint regulator of innate immune-driven IRI cascade in OLT. Although CC1 alternative splicing generates two functionally distinct short and long cytoplasmic isoforms, their role in neutrophil activation remains unknown. Here, we undertook molecular and functional studies to interrogate the significance of neutrophil CC1 signaling in mouse and human OLT recipients. In the experimental arm, we employed a mouse OLT model to document that ablation of recipient-derived neutrophil CC1-long (CC1-L) isotype aggravated hepatic IRI by promoting neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Notably, by regulating the S1P-S1PR2/S1PR3 axis, neutrophil CC1-L determined susceptibility to NET formation via autophagy signaling. In the clinical arm, liver grafts from 55 transplant patients selectively enriched for neutrophil CC1-L showed relative resistance to ischemia-reperfusion (IR) stress/tissue damage, improved hepatocellular function, and clinical outcomes. In conclusion, despite neutrophils being considered a principal villain in peritransplant tissue injury, their CC1-L isoform may serve as a regulator of IR stress resistance/NETosis in human and mouse OLT recipients.

Abstract
Introduction Extracellular vesicles (EVs) carrying functional cargoes are emerging as biomarkers and treatment strategies in multiple liver diseases. Nevertheless, the potential of EVs in liver failure remains indistinct. In this systematic review, we comprehensively analyzed the potential of EVs as biomarkers of liver failure and the therapeutic effects and possible mechanisms of EVs for liver failure. Methods We conducted a systematic review by comprehensively searching the following electronic databases: PubMed, Web of Science, Embase and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials from inception to March 2022. The used text words (synonyms and word variations) and database-specific subject headings included "Extracellular Vesicles", "Exosomes", "Liver Failure", "Liver Injury", etc. Results A total of 1479 studies were identified. After removing 680 duplicate studies and 742 irrelevant studies, 57 studies were finally retained and analyzed. Fourteen studies revealed EVs with functional cargoes could be used to make the diagnosis of liver failure and provide clues for early warning and prognostic assessment of patients with liver failure. Forty-three studies confirmed the administration of EVs from different sources alleviated hepatic damage and improved survival through inhibiting inflammatory response, oxidative stress as well as apoptosis or promoting hepatocyte regeneration and autophagy. Conclusions EVs and their cargoes can be used not only as superior biomarkers of early warning, early diagnosis and prognostic assessments for liver failure, but also as potentially effective treatment options for liver failure. In the future, large-scale studies are urgently needed to verify the diagnostic, predictive and therapeutic value of EVs for liver failure.

Abstract
Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced liver injury with severe cell death is a major complication of liver transplantation. Transmembrane member 16A (TMEM16A), a component of hepatocyte Ca2+-activated chloride channel, has been implicated in a variety of liver diseases. However, its role in hepatic I/R injury remains unknown. Here, mice with hepatocyte-specific TMEM16A knockout or overexpression were generated to examine the effect of TMEM16A on hepatic I/R injury. TMEM16A expression increased in liver samples from patients and mice with I/R injury, which was correlated with liver damage progression. Hepatocyte-specific TMEM16A knockout alleviated I/R-induced liver damage in mice, ameliorating inflammation and ferroptotic cell death. However, mice with hepatic TMEM16A overexpression showed the opposite phenotype. In addition, TMEM16A ablation decreased inflammatory responses and ferroptosis in hepatocytes upon hypoxia/reoxygenation insult in vitro, whereas TMEM16A overexpression promoted the opposite effects. The ameliorating effects of TMEM16A knockout on hepatocyte inflammation and cell death were abolished by chemically induced ferroptosis, whereas chemical inhibition of ferroptosis reversed the potentiated role of TMEM16A in hepatocyte injury. Mechanistically, TMEM16A interacted with glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) to induce its ubiquitination and degradation, thereby enhancing ferroptosis. Disruption of TMEM16A-GPX4 interaction abrogated the effects of TMEM16A on GPX4 ubiquitination, ferroptosis, and hepatic I/R injury. Our results demonstrate that TMEM16A exacerbates hepatic I/R injury by promoting GPX4-dependent ferroptosis. TMEM16A-GPX4 interaction and GPX4 ubiquitination are therefore indispensable for TMEM16A-regulated hepatic I/R injury, suggesting that blockades of TMEM16A-GPX4 interaction or TMEM16A inhibition in hepatocytes may represent promising therapeutic strategies for acute liver injury.

Abstract
Machine perfusion is an emerging technology in the field of liver transplantation. While machine perfusion has now been implemented in clinical routine throughout transplant centers around the world, a debate has arisen regarding its concurrent effect on the complex hepatic immune system during perfusion. Currently, our understanding of the perfusion-elicited processes involving innate immune cells remains incomplete. Hepatic macrophages (Kupffer cells) represent a special subset of hepatic immune cells with a dual pro-inflammatory, as well as a pro-resolving and anti-inflammatory, role in the sequence of ischemia-reperfusion injury. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the current data regarding the immunomodulatory role of machine perfusion and to emphasize the importance of macrophages for hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Abstract
Although liver transplantation is a true success story, many patients still die awaiting an organ. The increasing need for liver grafts therefore remains an unsolved challenge to the transplant community. To address this, transplant donor criteria have been expanded and, for example, more liver grafts with significant steatosis or from donors with circulatory death are being used. These marginal grafts, however, carry an increased risk of graft-associated complications, such as primary nonfunction, delayed graft function, or late biliary injuries. Therefore, reliable assessment of graft viability before use is essential for further success. To achieve this, machine liver perfusion, a procedure developed more than 50 years ago but almost forgotten at the end of the last century, is again of great interest. We describe in this review the clinical most applied machine perfusion techniques, their mechanistic background, and a novel concept of combining immediate organ assessment during hypothermic oxygenated perfusion, followed by an extended phase of normothermic machine perfusion, with simultaneous ex situ treatment of the perfused liver. Such a new approach may allow the pool of usable livers to dramatically increase and improve outcomes for recipients.

Abstract
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) represents a major challenge during liver surgery, liver preservation for transplantation, and can cause hemorrhagic shock with severe hypoxemia and trauma. The reduction of blood supply with a concomitant deficit in oxygen delivery initiates various molecular mechanisms involving the innate and adaptive immune response, alterations in gene transcription, induction of cell death programs, and changes in metabolic state and vascular function. Hepatic IRI is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, and is associated with an increased risk for tumor growth and recurrence after oncologic surgery for primary and secondary hepatobiliary malignancies. Therapeutic strategies to prevent or treat hepatic IRI have been investigated in animal models but, for the most part, have failed to provide a protective effect in a clinical setting. This review focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying hepatic IRI and regeneration, as well as its clinical implications. A better understanding of this complex and highly dynamic process may allow for the development of innovative therapeutic approaches and optimize patient outcomes.

Abstract
The liver has been proposed as an important “immune organ” of the body, as it is critically involved in a variety of specific and unique immune tasks. It contains a huge resident immune cell repertoire, which determines the balance between tolerance and inflammation in the hepatic microenvironment. Liver-resident immune cells, populating the sinusoids and the space of Disse, include professional antigen-presenting cells, myeloid cells, as well as innate and adaptive lymphoid cell populations. Machine perfusion (MP) has emerged as an innovative technology to preserve organs ex vivo while testing for organ quality and function prior to transplantation. As for the liver, hypothermic and normothermic MP techniques have successfully been implemented in clinically routine, especially for the use of marginal donor livers. Although there is evidence that ischemia reperfusion injury-associated inflammation is reduced in machine-perfused livers, little is known whether MP impacts the quantity, activation state and function of the hepatic immune-cell repertoire, and how this affects the inflammatory milieu during MP. At this point, it remains even speculative if liver-resident immune cells primarily exert a pro-inflammatory and hence destructive effect on machine-perfused organs, or in part may be essential to induce liver regeneration and counteract liver damage. This review discusses the role of hepatic immune cell subtypes during inflammatory conditions and ischemia reperfusion injury in the context of liver transplantation. We further highlight the possible impact of MP on the modification of the immune cell repertoire and its potential for future applications and immune modulation of the liver.

Abstract
In response to strong signals, several types of immune cells release extracellular traps (ETs), which are web-like structures consisting of DNA decorated with various protein substances. This process is most commonly observed in neutrophils. Over the past two decades, ET formation has been recognized as a unique mechanism of host defense and pathogen destruction. However, the role of ETs in sterile inflammation has only been studied extensively in recent years. Ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) is a type of sterile inflammatory injury. Several studies have reported that ETs have an important role in IRI in various organs. In this review, we describe the release of ETs by various types of immune cells and focus on the mechanism underlying the formation of neutrophil ETs (NETs). In addition, we summarize the role of ETs in IRI in different organs and their effects on tumors. Finally, we discuss the value of ETs as a potential therapeutic target for organ IRI and present possible challenges in conducting studies on IRI-related ETs as well as future research directions and prospects.

Macrophage Notch1 inhibits TAK1 function and RIPK3-mediated hepatocyte necroptosis through activation of β-catenin signaling in liver ischemia and reperfusion injury. Cell Commun Signal 2022; 20:144. [PMID: 36114543 PMCID: PMC9479434 DOI: 10.1186/s12964-022-00901-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2022] [Accepted: 05/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Notch signaling is highly conserved and critically involved in cell differentiation, immunity, and survival. Activation of the Notch pathway modulates immune cell functions during the inflammatory response. However, it remains unknown whether and how the macrophage Notch1 may control the innate immune signaling TAK1, and RIPK3-mediated hepatocyte necroptosis in liver ischemia and reperfusion injury (IRI). This study investigated the molecular mechanisms of macrophage Notch1 in modulating TAK1-mediated innate immune responses and RIPK3 functions in liver IRI. Methods Myeloid-specific Notch1 knockout (Notch1M−KO) and floxed Notch1 (Notch1FL/FL) mice (n = 6/group) were subjected to 90 min partial liver warm ischemia followed by 6 h of reperfusion. In a parallel in vitro study, bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) were isolated from these conditional knockout mice and transfected with CRISPR/Cas9-mediated β-catenin knockout (KO) vector followed by LPS (100 ng/ml) stimulation. Results IR stress-induced Notch1 activation evidenced by increased nuclear Notch intracellular domain (NICD) expression in liver macrophages. Myeloid Notch1 deficiency exacerbated IR-induced liver damage, with increased serum ALT levels, macrophage/neutrophil accumulation, and proinflammatory cytokines/chemokines production compared to the Notch1FL/FL controls. Unlike in the Notch1FL/FL controls, Notch1M−KO enhanced TRAF6, TAK1, NF-κB, RIPK3, and MLKL but reduced β-catenin activation in ischemic livers. However, adoptive transfer of lentivirus β-catenin-modified macrophages markedly improved liver function with reduced TRAF6, p-TAK1, RIPK3 and p-MLKL in IR-challenged livers. Moreover, disruption of RIPK3 in Notch1M−KO mice with an in vivo mannose-mediated RIPK3 siRNA delivery system diminished IR-triggered hepatocyte death. In vitro studies showed that macrophage NICD and β-catenin co-localized in the nucleus, whereby β-catenin interacted with NICD in response to LPS stimulation. Disruption of β-catenin with a CRISPR/Cas9-mediated β-catenin KO in Notch1FL/FL macrophage augmented TRAF6 activation leading to enhanced TAK1 function. While CRISPR/Cas9-mediated TRAF6 KO in Notch1M−KO macrophage inhibited RIPK3-mediated hepatocyte necroptosis after co-culture with primary hepatocytes. Conclusions Macrophage Notch1 controls TAK1-mediated innate immune responses and RIPK3-mediated hepatocyte necroptosis through activation of β-catenin. β-catenin is required for the macrophage Notch1-mediated immune regulation in liver IRI. Our findings demonstrate that the macrophage Notch1-β-catenin axis is a crucial regulatory mechanism in IR-triggered liver inflammation and provide novel therapeutic potential in organ IRI and transplant recipients.

Abstract
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is an adverse consequence of hepatectomy or liver transplantation. Recently, immune mechanisms involved in hepatic IRI have attracted increased attention of investigators working in this area. In specific, group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), have been strongly implicated in mediating type 2 inflammation. However, their immune mechanisms as involved with hepatic IRI remain unclear. Here, we reported that the population of ILC2s is increased with the development of hepatic IRI as shown in a mouse model in initial stage. Moreover, M2 type CD45+CD11b+F4/80high macrophages increased and reached maximal levels at 24 h followed by a significant elevation in IL-4 levels. We injected exogenous IL-33 into the tail vein of mice as a mean to stimulate ILC2s production. This stimulation of ILC2s resulted in a protective effect upon hepatic IRI along with an increase in M2 type CD45+CD11b+F4/80high macrophages. In contrast, depletion of ILC2s as achieved with use of an anti-CD90.2 antibody substantially abolished this protective effect of exogenous IL-33 and M2 type CD45+CD11b+F4/80high macrophage polarization in hepatic IRI. Therefore, this exogenous IL-33 induced potentiation of ILC2s appears to regulate the polarization of CD45+CD11b+F4/80high macrophages to alleviate IRI. Such findings provide the foundation for the development of new targets and strategies in the treatment of hepatic IRI.

Abstract
Liver ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a major complication of liver trauma, resection, and transplantation. IRI may lead to liver dysfunction and failure, but effective approach to address it is still lacking. To better understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms of liver IRI, functional roles of numerous cell types, including hepatocytes, Kupffer cells, neutrophils, and sinusoidal endothelial cells, have been intensively studied. In contrast, hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), which are well recognized by their essential functions in facilitating liver protection and repair, have gained less attention in their role in IRI. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the effects of HSCs on the injury stage of liver IRI and their associated molecular mechanisms. In addition, we discuss the regulation of liver repair and regeneration after IRI by HSCs. Finally, we highlight unanswered questions and future avenues of research regarding contributions of HSCs to IRI in the liver.

Transplantation 2022; 106:1351-1364. [PMID: 35546091 PMCID: PMC9213082 DOI: 10.1097/tp.0000000000004156] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2022] [Revised: 02/24/2022] [Accepted: 03/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is the main factor affecting the morbidity and mortality associated with perioperative complications of liver transplantation and major hepatectomy. AXL is a member of the TYRO3, AXL, MERTK family and is involved in immune and apoptosis processes in multiple organs. However, the role of AXL in hepatic I/R injury remains to be elucidated. METHODS Mice pretreated with rmGas6 or R428 and mice tail vein injected with adeno-associated virus knockdown suppressor of cytokine signaling protein-1 (SOCS-1) underwent liver I/R surgery to detect the function of activated AXL in vivo. Primary hepatocytes undergo hypoxic reoxygenation injury in vitro. RESULTS AXL expression was significantly upregulated, and phosphorylated-AXL was substantially downregulated in liver transplantation patients and hepatic I/R surgery mice. A mouse model of hepatic I/R injury showed that AXL activation reduced liver inflammation and liver cells apoptosis. The inhibition of AXL activation (AXL-specific inhibitor R428) aggravated hepatic I/R injury, resulted in larger areas of liver injury, aggravated inflammatory response, and increased apoptosis of liver cells. In addition, activated AXL promotes the expression level of SOCS-1 and inhibits toll-like receptor 4 and its downstream signaling pathways. Finally, SOCS-1 was knocked down with an adeno-associated virus, and activated AXL failed to protect against hepatic I/R injury. CONCLUSIONS AXL activation protects the liver from I/R injury by upregulating SOCS-1 and inhibiting the toll-like receptor 4/myeloid differentiation factor-88/nuclear factor kappa-B signaling axis. Targeting AXL may be a new therapeutic option for ameliorating hepatic I/R injury.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is considered an inherent component involved in liver transplantation, which induce early organ dysfunction and failure. And the accumulating evidences indicate that the activation of host innate immune system, especially hepatic macrophages, play a pivotal role in the progression of LIRI. Inflammasomes is a kind of intracellular multimolecular complexes that actively participate in the innate immune responses and proinflammatory signaling pathways. Among them, NLRP3 inflammasome is the best characterized and correspond to regulate caspase-1 activation and the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines in response to various pathogen-derived as well as danger-associated signals. Additionally, NLRP3 is highly expressed in hepatic macrophages, and the assembly of NLRP3 inflammasome could lead to LIRI, which makes it a promising therapeutic target. However, detailed mechanisms about NLRP3 inflammasome involving in the hepatic macrophages-related LIRI is rarely summarized. Here, we review the potential role of the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway of hepatic macrophages in LIRI, with highlights on currently available therapeutic options.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ellagic acid (EA) has improving function against oxidative damage and inflammatory reaction in many disorders. Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a common pathophysiological phenomenon in the veterinary clinic. In the present study, the protective effects of EA pretreatment against hepatic IRI-induced injury and the underlying mechanisms were investigated. RESULTS We found that pyroptosis is involved in hepatic IRI, which is manifested in increasing the expression of pyroptosis-related genes and promoting the expression of active caspase-1, thereby cleaving GSDMD-N to cause pyroptosis, and caspase-1-/- mice were used to verify this conclusion. In addition, we found that EA protects against hepatic IRI by inhibiting pyroptosis, including reducing the activity of caspase-1 and its expression in the liver, inhibiting the lysis of GSDMD-N, and reducing the levels of IL-18 and IL-1β. CONCLUSIONS The present results have demonstrated that prophylactic administration of EA ameliorated hepatic IRI by inhibiting pyroptosis induced in hepatic ischemia-reperfusion in vivo through the caspase-1-GSDMD axis, providing a potential therapeutic option prevent hepatic IRI in pets.

Abstract
Inflammation is crucial to tumorigenesis and the development of metastasis. Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is an unresolved problem in liver resection and transplantation which often establishes and remodels the inflammatory microenvironment in liver. More and more experimental and clinical evidence unmasks the role of hepatic IRI and associated inflammation in promoting the recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Meanwhile, approaches aimed at alleviating hepatic IRI, such as machine perfusion, regulating the gut-liver axis, and targeting key inflammatory components, have been proved to prevent HCC recurrence. This review article highlights the underlying mechanisms and promising therapeutic strategies to reduce tumor recurrence through alleviating inflammation induced by hepatic IRI.

Abstract
Heat stroke (HS) is a severe condition characterized by increased morbidity and high mortality. Acute liver injury (ALI) is a well-documented complication of HS. The tumor suppressor p53 plays an important role in regulation of mitochondrial integrity and mitophagy in several forms of ALI. However, the role of p53-regulated mitophagy in HS-ALI remains unclear. In our study, we discovered the dynamic changes of mitophagy in hepatocytes and demonstrated the protective effects of mitophagy activation on HS-ALI. Pretreatment with 3-MA or Mdivi-1 significantly exacerbated ALI by inhibiting mitophagy in HS-ALI mice. Consistent with the animal HS-ALI model results, silencing Parkin aggravated mitochondrial damage and apoptosis by inhibiting mitophagy in HS-treated normal human liver cell line (LO2 cells). Moreover, we described an increase in the translocation of p53 from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, and cytosolic p53 binds to Parkin in LO2 cells following HS. p53 overexpression using a specific adenovirus or Tenovin-6 exacerbated HS-ALI through Parkin-dependent mitophagy both in vivo and in vitro, whereas inhibition of p53 using siRNA or PFT-α effectively reversed this process. Our results demonstrate that cytosolic p53 binds to Parkin and inhibits mitophagy by preventing Parkin's translocation from the cytosol to the mitochondria, which decreases mitophagy activation and leads to hepatocyte apoptosis in HS-ALI. Overall, pharmacologic induction of mitophagy by inhibiting p53 may be a promising therapeutic approach for HS-ALI treatment.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion injury can be divided into two phases, including insufficient supply of oxygen and nutrients in the first stage and then organ injury caused by immune inflammation after blood flow recovery. Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion is an important cause of liver injury post-surgery, consisting of partial hepatectomy and liver transplantation, and a central driver of graft dysfunction, which greatly leads to complications and mortality after liver transplantation. Natural killer (NK) cells are the lymphocyte population mainly involved in innate immune response in the human liver. In addition to their well-known role in anti-virus and anti-tumor defense, NK cells are also considered to regulate the pathogenesis of liver ischemia-reperfusion injury under the support of more and more evidence recently. The infiltration of NK cells into the liver exacerbates the hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury, which could be significantly alleviated after depletion of NK cells. Interestingly, NK cells may contribute to both liver graft rejection and tolerance according to their origins. In this article, we discussed the development of liver NK cells, their role in ischemia-reperfusion injury, and strategies of inhibiting NK cell activation in order to provide potential possibilities for translation application in future clinical practice.

Abstract
Platelets are anucleate fragments mainly involved in hemostasis and thrombosis, and there is emerging evidence that platelets have other nonhemostatic potentials in inflammation, angiogenesis, regeneration and ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/R injury), which are involved in the physiological and pathological processes during living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). LDLT is sometimes associated with impaired regeneration and severe I/R injury, leading to postoperative complications and decreased patient survival. Recent studies have suggested that perioperative thrombocytopenia is associated with poor graft regeneration and postoperative morbidity in the short and long term after LDLT. Although it is not fully understood whether thrombocytopenia is the cause or result, increasing platelet counts are frequently suggested to improve posttransplant outcomes in clinical studies. Based on rodent experiments, previous studies have identified that platelets stimulate liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy. However, the role of platelets in LDLT is controversial, as platelets are supposed to aggravate I/R injury in the liver. Recently, a rat model of partial liver transplantation (LT) was used to demonstrate that thrombopoietin-induced thrombocytosis prior to surgery accelerated graft regeneration and improved the survival rate after transplantation. It was clarified that platelet-derived liver regeneration outweighed the associated risk of I/R injury after partial LT. Clinical strategies to increase perioperative platelet counts, such as thrombopoietin, thrombopoietin receptor agonist and platelet transfusion, may improve graft regeneration and survival after LDLT.

Abstract
Neutrophils and platelets are among the most abundant cell types in peripheral blood and characterized by high plasticity and a readily available reservoir of surface proteins and secretable granule contents. Receptor-mediated activation and granule release predispose both cell types for rapid responses to various stimuli. While neutrophils provide the first line of defense to microbial infections and platelets are known for their aggregatory functions in hemostasis and thrombosis, research of the past decade has highlighted that both cell types jointly shape local and systemic immune responses and clot formation alike. Concomitant activation of neutrophils and platelets has been observed in a variety of cardiovascular diseases, including arterial and venous thrombosis, atherosclerosis as well as myocardial infarction and ischemia-reperfusion injury. In this review, we describe the mechanisms by which neutrophils and platelets interact physically, how release of granule contents and soluble molecules by either cell type affects the other and how this mutual activation supports the efficacy of immune responses. We go on to describe how activated platelets contribute to host defense by triggering neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation in a process termed immunothrombosis, which in turn promotes local platelet activation and coagulation. Further, we review current evidence of hazardous overactivation of either cell type and their respective role in cardiovascular disease, with a focus on thrombosis, myocardial infarction and ischemia-reperfusion injury, and describe how neutrophils and platelets shape thromboinflammation in COVID-19. Finally, we provide an overview of therapeutic approaches targeting neutrophil-platelet interactions as novel treatment strategy in cardiovascular disease.
