Abstract
Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by the host's dysfunctional response to infection. Abnormal activation of the immune system and disturbance of energy metabolism play a key role in the development of sepsis. In recent years, the Sirtuins (SIRTs) family has been found to play an important role in the pathogenesis of sepsis. SIRTs, as a class of histone deacetylases (HDACs), are widely involved in cellular inflammation regulation, energy metabolism and oxidative stress. The effects of SIRTs on immune cells are mainly reflected in the regulation of inflammatory pathways. This regulation helps balance the inflammatory response and may lessen cell damage and organ dysfunction in sepsis. In terms of energy metabolism, SIRTs can play a role in immunophenotypic transformation by regulating cell metabolism, improve mitochondrial function, increase energy production, and maintain cell energy balance. SIRTs also regulate the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), protecting cells from oxidative stress damage by activating antioxidant defense pathways and maintaining a balance between oxidants and reducing agents. Current studies have shown that several potential drugs, such as Resveratrol and melatonin, can enhance the activity of SIRT. It can help to reduce inflammatory response, improve energy metabolism and reduce oxidative stress, showing potential clinical application prospects for the treatment of sepsis. This review focuses on the regulation of SIRT on inflammatory response, energy metabolism and oxidative stress of immune cells, as well as its important influence on multiple organ dysfunction in sepsis, and discusses and summarizes the effects of related drugs and compounds on reducing multiple organ damage in sepsis through the pathway involving SIRTs. SIRTs may become a new target for the treatment of sepsis and its resulting organ dysfunction, providing new ideas and possibilities for the treatment of this life-threatening disease.

Tang P, Wang Y, Yang X, Wu Z, Chen W, Ye Y, Jiang Y, Lin L, Lin B, Lin B. Protective Role of Endothelial SIRT1 in Deep Vein Thrombosis and Hypoxia-induced Endothelial Dysfunction Mediated by NF-κB Deacetylation. Inflammation 2023; 46:1887-1900. [PMID: 37354359 DOI: 10.1007/s10753-023-01848-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2023] [Revised: 05/28/2023] [Accepted: 05/29/2023] [Indexed: 06/26/2023]
Abstract
Venous hypoxia is considered as the major pathogenetic mechanism linking blood flow stagnancy with deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Our previous study showed that activating SIRT1 may attenuate inferior vena cava (IVC) stenosis-induced DVT in rats. This study was aimed to investigate the role of endothelial SIRT1 in DVT and hypoxia-induced endothelial dysfunction as well as the underlying mechanism. Protein profiling of IVCs and blood plasma of DVT rats induced by IVC stenosis was analysed by 4D Label free proteomics analysis. To verify the independent role of SIRT1 in DVT and oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)-induced endothelial dysfunction, SIRT1 specific activator SRT1720 and SIRT1 knockdown in both local IVCs and endothelial cells were employed. Moreover, the role of the NF-κB were investigated using NF-κB inhibitor caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE). SRT1720 significantly inhibited thrombus burden, leukocytes infiltration, protein expressions of cell adhesion molecules and chemokines, as well as acetylation level of NF-κB/p65 in wild DVT rats, while these protective effects of SRT1720 were abolished in rats with SIRT1 knockdown in local IVCs. In vitro, SRT1720 protected endothelial cells against OGD-induced dysfunction characterized with enhanced adhesion of monocytes as well as the protein expressions of cell adhesion molecules and chemokines, whereas these protective effects of SRT1720 were vanished by SIRT1 stable knockdown. Furthermore, CAPE attenuated endothelial cell dysfunction and abolished these effects of SIRT1 knockdown. Collectively, these data suggested that endothelial SIRT1 plays an independent role in ameliorating hypoxia-induced endothelial dysfunction and thrombotic inflammation in DVT, and this effect is mediated by NF-κB deacetylation.

Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 162:114591.

Abstract
Melatonin confers cardioprotective effects on multiple cardiovascular diseases, including doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy. The effectiveness of melatonin in mitigating myocardial injuries caused by Doxorubicin through enhancement of mitochondrial function is already established, however, the role of melatonin in regulating the Sirtuin-1 (Sirt1)/Nuclear factor E2-associated factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway in lessening the onset of Doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy is yet to be elucidated. To address this, H9C2 cardiomyocytes and C57BL/6 mice were employed to construct in vitro and in vivo models of Dox-induced myocardial impairments, respectively. Results showed that Dox markedly evoked oxidative stress, pyroptosis and apoptosis both in vitro and in vivo, which were significantly alleviated by melatonin administration. Mechanistically, melatonin attenuated Dox-induced downregulation of Sirt1 and Nrf2, and both inhibition of Sirt1 and Nrf2 significantly reversed the cardioprotective effects of melatonin. In conclusion, our studies suggest that the activation of the Sirt1/Nrf2 pathway is the underlying mechanism behind melatonin's ability to curtail oxidative stress, pyroptosis, and apoptosis in Dox-induced cardiomyopathy. These promising results demonstrated the potential application of melatonin as a treatment for doxorubicin-induced cardiac injury.

SIRT2-PFKP interaction dysregulates phagocytosis in macrophages with acute ethanol-exposure. Front Immunol 2023; 13:1079962. [PMID: 36865524 PMCID: PMC9972587 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.1079962] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2022] [Accepted: 12/27/2022] [Indexed: 01/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Alcohol abuse, reported by 1/8th critically ill patients, is an independent risk factor for death in sepsis. Sepsis kills over 270,000 patients/year in the US. We reported that the ethanol-exposure suppresses innate-immune response, pathogen clearance, and decreases survival in sepsis-mice via sirtuin 2 (SIRT2). SIRT2 is an NAD+-dependent histone-deacetylase with anti-inflammatory properties. We hypothesized that in ethanol-exposed macrophages, SIRT2 suppresses phagocytosis and pathogen clearance by regulating glycolysis. Immune cells use glycolysis to fuel increased metabolic and energy demand of phagocytosis. Using ethanol-exposed mouse bone marrow- and human blood monocyte-derived macrophages, we found that SIRT2 mutes glycolysis via deacetylating key glycolysis regulating enzyme phosphofructokinase-platelet isoform (PFKP), at mouse lysine 394 (mK394, human: hK395). Acetylation of PFKP at mK394 (hK395) is crucial for PFKP function as a glycolysis regulating enzyme. The PFKP also facilitates phosphorylation and activation of autophagy related protein 4B (Atg4B). Atg4B activates microtubule associated protein 1 light chain-3B (LC3). LC3 is a driver of a subset of phagocytosis, the LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP), which is crucial for segregation and enhanced clearance of pathogens, in sepsis. We found that in ethanol-exposed cells, the SIRT2-PFKP interaction leads to decreased Atg4B-phosphorylation, decreased LC3 activation, repressed phagocytosis and LAP. Genetic deficiency or pharmacological inhibition of SIRT2 reverse PFKP-deacetylation, suppressed LC3-activation and phagocytosis including LAP, in ethanol-exposed macrophages to improve bacterial clearance and survival in ethanol with sepsis mice.

Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRTs) are nicotine adenine dinucleotide(+)-dependent histone deacetylases regulating critical signaling pathways in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and are involved in numerous biological processes. Currently, seven mammalian homologs of yeast Sir2 named SIRT1 to SIRT7 have been identified. Increasing evidence has suggested the vital roles of seven members of the SIRT family in health and disease conditions. Notably, this protein family plays a variety of important roles in cellular biology such as inflammation, metabolism, oxidative stress, and apoptosis, etc., thus, it is considered a potential therapeutic target for different kinds of pathologies including cancer, cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, and other conditions. Moreover, identification of SIRT modulators and exploring the functions of these different modulators have prompted increased efforts to discover new small molecules, which can modify SIRT activity. Furthermore, several randomized controlled trials have indicated that different interventions might affect the expression of SIRT protein in human samples, and supplementation of SIRT modulators might have diverse impact on physiological function in different participants. In this review, we introduce the history and structure of the SIRT protein family, discuss the molecular mechanisms and biological functions of seven members of the SIRT protein family, elaborate on the regulatory roles of SIRTs in human disease, summarize SIRT inhibitors and activators, and review related clinical studies.

Abstract
Sepsis is a severe inflammatory response to systemic infection and is a threatening cause of death in intensive care units. In recent years, a number of studies have been conducted on the protective effect of natural products against sepsis-induced organ injury. However, a comprehensive review of these studies indicating the mechanisms of action of the bioactive compounds is still lacking. In this context, this review aimed to provide an updated analysis of the mechanism of action of plants' secondary metabolites in the management of sepsis. Scopus, Science Direct, Google Scholar, and PubMed were searched from inception to July 2022. A variety of secondary metabolites were found to be effective in sepsis management including allicin, aloin, cepharanthine, chrysin, curcumin, cyanidin, gallic acid, gingerol, ginsenoside, glycyrrhizin, hesperidin, kaempferol, narciclasine, naringenin, naringin, piperine, quercetin, resveratrol, rosmarinic acid, shogaol, silymarin, sulforaphane, thymoquinone, umbelliferone, and zingerone. The protective effects exerted by these compounds can be ascribed to their antioxidant properties as well as induction of endogenous antioxidant mechanisms, and also via the downregulation of inflammatory response and reduction of biochemical and inflammatory markers of sepsis. These findings suggest that these secondary metabolites could be of potential therapeutic value in the management of sepsis, but human studies must be performed to provide strength to their potential clinical relevance in sepsis-related morbidity and mortality reduction.

Influence of Polydatin on the Tumor Microenvironment In Vitro: Studies with a Colon Cancer Cell Model. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23158442.

Abstract
The tumor microenvironment of colon carcinoma, the site at which tumor cells and the host immune system interact, is influenced by signals from tumor cells, immunocompetent cells, and bacterial components, including LPS. A large amount of LPS is available in the colon, and this could promote inflammation and metastasis by enhancing tumor cell adhesion to the endothelium. Polydatin (PD), the 3-β-D-glucoside of trans-resveratrol, is a polyphenol with anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and immunoregulatory effects. This study was designed to explore whether PD is able to produce antiproliferative effects on three colon cancer lines, to reduce the expression of adhesion molecules that are upregulated by LPS on endothelial cells, and to decrease the proinflammatory cytokines released in culture supernatants. Actually, we investigated the effects of PD on tumor growth in a coculture model with human mononuclear cells (MNCs) that mimics, at least in part, an in vitro tumor microenvironment. The results showed that PD alone or in combination with MNC exerts antiproliferative and proapoptotic effects on cancer cells, inhibits the production of the immunosuppressive cytokine IL-10 and of the proinflammatory cytokines upregulated by LPS, and reduces E-selectin and VCAM-1 on endothelial cells. These data provide preclinical support to the hypothesis that PD could be of potential benefit as a therapeutic adjuvant in colon cancer treatment and prevention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury is a therapeutic challenge for surgeons. Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is an NAD+-dependent deacetylase that plays a vital role in modulating cellular senescence and aging. In this study, we determined whether SIRT1 upregulation could alleviate renal IR injury and the underlying mechanism. METHODS A renal IR model was induced in male C57BL/6 mice. Blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine were evaluated as markers of kidney function, and renal injury was assessed by pathological examination. The inflammatory milieu was analyzed by real-time RT-PCR and myeloperoxidase immunofluorescence assays. Western blotting was used to quantify SIRT1 protein expression, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and autophagy. RESULTS SIRT1 was upregulated in renal tissue after IR. Blood analysis and histopathologic examination demonstrated that SIRT1 preserved renal function and reduced renal damage. Further evaluation illustrated that IR induced autophagy and endoplasmic reticulum stress, while SIRT1 upregulation reduced endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated autophagy levels. CONCLUSIONS SIRT1 upregulation protects the kidney against IR-induced injury by inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated autophagy.

Abstract
Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction syndrome caused by host response disorders due to infection or infectious factors and is a common complication of patients with clinical trauma, burns, and infection. Resveratrol is a natural polyphenol compound that is a SIRT-1 activator with anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal inhibitory abilities as well as cardiovascular and anti-tumor protective effects. In recent years, some scholars have applied resveratrol in animal models of sepsis and found that it has an organ protective effect and can improve the survival time and reduce the mortality of animals with sepsis. In this study, Medline (Pubmed), embase, and other databases were searched to retrieve literature published in 2021 using the keywords “resveratrol” and “sepsis,” and then the potential of resveratrol for the treatment of sepsis was reviewed and prospected to provide some basis for future clinical research.

J Neuroinflammation 2022; 19:41. [PMID: 35130906 PMCID: PMC8822843 DOI: 10.1186/s12974-022-02400-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 149] [Impact Index Per Article: 74.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2021] [Accepted: 01/24/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The inflammation and oxidative stress (OS) have been considered crucial components of the pathogenesis of depression. Edaravone (EDA), a free radical scavenger, processes strong biological activities including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties. However, its role and potential molecular mechanisms in depression remain unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the antidepressant activity of EDA and its underlying mechanisms. Methods A chronic social defeat stress (CSDS) depression model was performed to explore whether EDA could produce antidepressant effects. Behaviors tests were carried out to examine depressive, anxiety-like and cognitive behaviors including social interaction (SI) test, sucrose preference test (SPT), open field test (OFT), elevated plus maze (EPM), novel object recognition (NOR), tail suspension test (TST) and forced swim test (FST). Hippocampal and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) tissues were collected for Nissl staining, immunofluorescence, targeted energy metabolomics analysis, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), measurement of MDA, SOD, GSH, GSH-PX, T-AOC and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Western blotting (WB) and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) detected the Sirt1/Nrf2/HO-1/Gpx4 signaling pathway. EX527, a Sirt1 inhibitor and ML385, a Nrf2 inhibitor were injected intraperitoneally 30 min before EDA injection daily. Knockdown experiments were performed to determine the effects of Gpx4 on CSDS mice with EDA treatment by an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector containing miRNAi (Gpx4)–EGFP infusion. Results The administrated of EDA dramatically ameliorated CSDS-induced depressive and anxiety-like behaviors. In addition, EDA notably attenuated neuronal loss, microglial activation, astrocyte dysfunction, oxidative stress damage, energy metabolism and pro-inflammatory cytokines activation in the hippocampus (Hip) and mPFC of CSDS-induced mice. Further examination indicated that the application of EDA after the CSDS model significantly increased the protein expressions of Sirt1, Nrf2, HO-1 and Gpx4 in the Hip. EX527 abolished the antidepressant effect of EDA as well as the protein levels of Nrf2, HO-1 and Gpx4. Similarly, ML385 reversed the antidepressant and anxiolytic effects of EDA via decreased expressions of HO-1 and Gpx4. In addition, Gpx4 knockdown in CSDS mice abolished EDA-generated efficacy on depressive and anxiety-like behaviors. Conclusion These findings suggest that EDA possesses potent antidepressant and anxiolytic properties through Sirt1/Nrf2/HO-1/Gpx4 axis and Gpx4-mediated ferroptosis may play a key role in this effect.

Abstract
Sepsis and septic shock are the leading causes of death among hospitalized patients in the US. The immune response in sepsis transitions from a pro-inflammatory and pro-oxidant hyper-inflammation to an anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective hypo-inflammatory phase. While 1/3rd sepsis-related deaths occur during hyper-, a vast majority of sepsis-mortality occurs during the hypo-inflammation. Hyper-inflammation is cytotoxic for the immune cells and cannot be sustained. As a compensatory mechanism, the immune cells transition from cytotoxic hyper-inflammation to a cytoprotective hypo-inflammation with anti-inflammatory/immunosuppressive phase. However, the hypo-inflammation is associated with an inability to clear invading pathogens, leaving the host susceptible to secondary infections. Thus, the maladaptive immune response leads to a marked departure from homeostasis during sepsis-phases. The transition from hyper- to hypo-inflammation occurs via epigenetic programming. Sirtuins, a highly conserved family of histone deacetylators and guardians of homeostasis, are integral to the epigenetic programming in sepsis. Through their anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties, the sirtuins modulate the immune response in sepsis. We review the role of sirtuins in orchestrating the interplay between the oxidative stress and epigenetic programming during sepsis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis and septic shock kill over 270,000 patients per year in the United States. Sepsis transitions from a hyper-inflammatory to a hypo-inflammatory phase. Alcohol dependence is a risk factor for mortality from sepsis. Ethanol (EtOH) exposure impairs pathogen clearance through mechanisms that are not fully understood. Sirtuin 2 (SIRT2) interferes with pathogen clearance in immune cells but its role in the effects of EtOH on sepsis is unknown. We studied the effect of EtOH exposure on hyper- and hypo-inflammation and the role of SIRT2 in mice. METHODS We exposed C57Bl/6 (WT) mice to EtOH via drinking water and used intraperitoneal cecal slurry (CS)-induced sepsis to study: (i) 7-day survival, (ii) leukocyte adhesion (LA) in the mesenteric microcirculation during hyper- and hypo-inflammation, (iii) peritoneal cavity bacterial clearance, and (iv) SIRT2 expression in peritoneal macrophages. Using EtOH-exposed and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 (RAW) cell macrophages for 4 hours or 24 hours, we studied: (i) tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), and SIRT2 expression, and (ii) the effect of the SIRT2 inhibitor AK-7 on inflammatory response at 24 hours. Lastly, we studied the effect of EtOH on sepsis in whole body Sirt2 knockout (SIRT2KO) mice during hyper- and hypo-inflammation, bacterial clearance, and 7-day survival. RESULTS WT EtOH-sepsis mice showed: (i) Decreased survival, (ii) Muted LA in the microcirculation, (iii) Lower plasma TNF-α and IL-6 expression, (iv) Decreased bacterial clearance, and (v) Increased SIRT2 expression in peritoneal macrophages versus vehicle-sepsis. EtOH-exposed LPS-stimulated RAW cells showed: (i) Muted TNF-α, IL-6, and increased IL-10 expression at 4 hours, (ii) endotoxin tolerance at 24 hours, and (iii) reversal of endotoxin tolerance with the SIRT2 inhibitor AK-7. EtOH-exposed SIRT2KO-sepsis mice showed greater 7-day survival, LA, and bacterial clearance than WT EtOH-sepsis mice. CONCLUSION EtOH exposure decreases survival and reduces the inflammatory response to sepsis via increased SIRT2 expression. SIRT2 is a potential therapeutic target in EtOH with sepsis.

Exosomes secreted from mesenchymal stem cells mediate the regeneration of endothelial cells treated with rapamycin by delivering pro-angiogenic microRNAs. Exp Cell Res 2020; 399:112449.

Abstract
Delayed endothelial healing after drug eluting stent (DES) implantation is a critical clinical problem in treatment of coronary artery diseases. Exosomes exhibit proangiogenic potential in a variety of ischemic diseases. However, the association of exosomes with endothelial regeneration after DES implantation has been rarely reported. In this study, we aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived exosomes on endothelial cells treated with rapamycin and explore the potential mechanisms of MSC-derived exosomes in promoting endothelial regeneration. Exosomes were isolated from MSCs by ultracentrifugation and identified by transmission electron microscopy, nanoparticle tracking analysis, and Western blot assay. The in vitro effects of MSC-derived exosomes on the proliferation and migration of endothelial cells treated with rapamycin were evaluated by integrated experiment, cell counting kit-8, scratch, tube formation, and transwell assays. And the apoptosis of rapamycin-induced endothelial cells loaded with MSC-derived exosomes was detected using TUNEL and Annexin-V FITC and PI double-staining assays. The microRNA (miRNA) cargo of MSC-derived exosomes was identified by high-throughput RNA sequencing. Pro-angiogenic miRNAs and key pathways were further characterized. Our results indicated that MSC-derived exosomes could be ingested into umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and significantly enhanced cell proliferation rate, migratory and tube-forming capabilities in vitro. MSC-derived exosomes also inhibited the apoptosis of HUVECs induced by rapamycin. A distinct class of exosomal miRNAs was further identified, including six miRNAs tightly related to neovasculogenesis. Silencing the expression of exosomal miRNA-21-5p and let-7c-5p attenuated the pro-proliferative and pro-migratory capacity of MSC-derived exosomes. Moreover, functional enrichment analysis indicated that metabolic pathways might contribute to reendothelialization. This study highlights a proregenerative effect of MSC-derived exosomes in vitro, which may be partly explained by the delivery of pro-angiogenic miRNAs to endothelial cells.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the value of sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) in differentiating sepsis patients from healthy controls (HCs), and its correlation with inflammation, disease severity, as well as prognosis in sepsis patients. Serum samples were collected from 180 sepsis patients and 180 age- and gender-matched HCs. The SIRT1 level in the serum samples was detected by enzyme-linked immunoassay. The clinical data of the sepsis patients were documented, and their disease severity scores and 28-day mortality rate were assessed. SIRT1 was decreased in sepsis patients compared with HCs, and the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) showed that SIRT1 distinguished sepsis patients from HCs (area under the curve (AUC): 0.901; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.868-0.934). In sepsis patients, SIRT1 negatively correlated with serum creatinine (Scr), white blood cells (WBC), C-reactive protein (CRP), acute physiology, and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II) score, and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, while it positively correlated with albumin. No correlation of SIRT1 with primary infection site or primary organism was observed. Furthermore, SIRT1 was reduced in 28-day non-survivors compared with 28-day survivors, and subsequent ROC showed that SIRT1 predicted 28-day mortality of sepsis patients (AUC: 0.725; 95% CI: 0.651-0.800), and its prognostic value was not inferior to Scr, albumin, WBC, and CRP, but was less than SOFA score and APACHE II score. In conclusion, measurement of serum SIRT1 might assist with the optimization of disease assessment, management strategies, and survival surveillance in sepsis patients.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, and diabetes are a significant public health problem worldwide. Although several novel pharmacological treatments to reduce the progression of CVDs have been discovered during the last 20 years, the better way to contain the onset of CVDs remains prevention. In this regard, nutraceuticals seem to own a great potential in maintaining human health, exerting important protective cardiovascular effects. In the last years, there has been increased focus on identifying natural compounds with cardiovascular health-promoting effects and also to characterize the molecular mechanisms involved. Although many review articles have focused on the individual natural compound impact on cardiovascular diseases, the aim of this manuscript was to examine the role of the most studied nutraceuticals, such as resveratrol, cocoa, quercetin, curcumin, brassica, berberine and Spirulina platensis, on different CVDs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response syndrome. MicroRNA (miRNA) plays an important role in immune cell activation, inflammatory cytokine release and immune response. However, the mechanism of miR-133a in sepsis remains largely unknown. METHODS Sepsis mice models were established by applying the cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) method. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay was performed to detect the relative expression of miR-133a and inflammatory cytokines. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (Elisa) were used to evaluate organ injury and inflammatory response. Besides, lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW264.7 macrophages were used to construct sepsis cell models. Further, dual-luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay were carried out to confirm the relationship between miR-133a and sirtuin-1 (SIRT1). In addition, western blot (WB) assay was performed to measure the relative SIRT1 protein level. RESULTS MiR-133a was highly expressed in sepsis patients and CLP mice models. Knockdown of miR-133a inhibited sepsis-induced lung, liver and kidney injuries and inflammatory response in CLP mice models. Besides, miR-133a inhibitor also alleviated the inflammatory response of RAW264.7 macrophages induced by LPS. SIRT1 was a target of miR-133a, and silenced SIRT1 could reverse the anti-inflammatory effect of miR-133a inhibitor on LPS-induced sepsis cell models. CONCLUSION MiR-133a promoted the inflammatory response of sepsis by inhibiting the expression of SIRT1, which might provide a new therapeutic strategy for sepsis.

Abstract
Background Decline in mitochondrial function occurs with aging and may increase mortality. We discuss mitochondrial contribution to Covid-19 sepsis, specifically the complex interaction of innate immune function, viral replication, hyper-inflammatory state, and HIF-α/Sirtuin pathways. Methods Articles from PubMed/Medline searches were reviewed using the combination of terms “SARS-CoV-2, Covid-19, sepsis, mitochondria, aging, and immunometabolism”. Results Evidence indicates that mitochondria in senescent cells may be dysfunctional and unable to keep up with hypermetabolic demands associated with Covid-19 sepsis. Mitochondrial proteins may serve as damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) activating innate immunity. Disruption in normal oxidative phosphorylation pathways contributes to elevated ROS which activates sepsis cascade through HIF-α/Sirtuin pathway. Viral–mitochondrial interaction may be necessary for replication and increased viral load. Hypoxia and hyper-inflammatory state contribute to increased mortality associated with Covid-19 sepsis. Conclusions Aging is associated with worse outcomes in sepsis. Modulating Sirtuin activity is emerging as therapeutic agent in sepsis. HIF-α, levels of mitochondrial DNA, and other mitochondrial DAMP molecules may also serve as useful biomarker and need to be investigated. These mechanisms should be explored specifically for Covid-19-related sepsis. Understanding newly discovered regulatory mechanisms may lead to the development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Introduction: Sirtuins are highly conserved nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) sensors that are considered the guardians of homeostasis. Acute inflammation, which is intended to ward off pathogen invasion, is nature's highly conserved stress-associated and molecular-based survival mechanism for most life forms. Acute inflammatory responses deviate cells from the homeostasis to enable survival. It is not surprising perhaps, that these two must interact in the most dramatic way to preserve homeostasis and preserve life.Areas covered: In this review, we present an overview of sirtuin responses in acute life-threatening inflammatory conditions. We examine how the seven sirtuins (sirtuins 1-7) are responsible for modulating the acute inflammatory response in a context-dependent manner, thus presenting novel therapeutic targets. The database search includes Medline (since 1966) and PubMed (since 1996).Expert opinion: Sirtuins fine-tune the inflammatory response to acute infectious and noninfectious inflammatory stimuli. Modulating sirtuin activity leads to profound changes in inflammatory response. Sirtuin-activating and inhibiting agents are emerging as therapeutic agents to resolve inflammation and promote homeostasis in chronic inflammation. The use of sirtuin modulation in acute life-threatening inflammatory conditions has great potential.

Abstract
Obesity is a worldwide epidemic disease that induces important structural and functional changes to the heart and predisposes a patient to devastating cardiac complications. Sirtuin1 (SIRT1) has been found to have roles in regulating cardiac function, but whether it can help in cardioprotection is not clear. The aim of the present study was to determine whether melatonin, by modulating SIRT1 and in turn mitochondria signaling, may alleviate obesity-induced cardiac injuries. We investigated 10 lean control mice and 10 leptin-deficient obese mice (ob/ob) orally supplemented with melatonin for 8 weeks, as well as equal numbers of age-matched lean and ob/ob mice that did not receive melatonin. Hearts were evaluated using multiple parameters, including biometric values, morphology, SIRT1 activity and expression of markers of mitochondria biogenesis, oxidative stress, and inflammation. We observed that ob/ob mice experienced significant heart hypertrophy, infiltration by inflammatory cells, reduced SIRT1 activity, altered mitochondrial signaling and oxidative balance, and overexpression of inflammatory markers. Notably, melatonin supplementation in ob/ob mice reverted these obesogenic heart alterations. Melatonin prevented heart remodeling caused by obesity through SIRT1 activation, which, together with mitochondrial pathways, reduced oxidative stress and inflammation.

Abstract
Sepsis, systemic hyper-inflammatory immune response, causes the increase of morbidity and mortality rates due to multi-organ diseases such as neurotoxicity. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces inflammation, oxidative stress and apoptosis to cause brain damage. We aimed to evaluate the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic effects of Agomelatine (AGM) on LPS induced brain damage via NF-kB signaling. Twenty-four animals were divided into three groups as control, LPS (5 mg/kg) and LPS + AGM (20 mg/kg). Six hours after the all administrations, rats were sacrificed, brain tissues were collected for biochemical, histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis. In LPS group; total oxidant status (TOS), OSI index, Caspase-8 (Cas-8), NF-kß levels increased and Total antioxidant status (TAS) levels decreased biochemically and Cas-8, haptoglobin and IL-10 expressions increased and sirtuin-1 (SIRT-1) levels decreased immunohistochemically. AGM treatment reversed these parameters except haptoglobin levels in hippocampus and SIRT-1 levels in cerebellum. Besides, AGM treatment blocked the phosphorylation of NF-kB biochemically and ameliorated increased the levels of hyperemia, edema and degenerative changes histopathologically. In conclusion, AGM enhanced SIRT-1 levels to negatively regulate the transcription and activation of p-NF-kB/p65 which caused to ameliorate inflammation, oxidative stress and apoptosis.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are essential for cellular signaling and physiological function. An imbalance between ROS production and antioxidant protection results in a state of oxidative stress (OS), which is associated with perturbations in reduction/oxidation (redox) regulation, cellular dysfunction, organ failure, and disease. The pathophysiology of OS is closely interlinked with inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and, in the case of surgery, ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI). Perioperative OS is a complex response that involves patient, surgical, and anesthetic factors. The magnitude of tissue injury inflicted by the surgery affects the degree of OS, and both duration and nature of the anesthetic procedure applied can modify this. Moreover, the interindividual susceptibility to the impact of OS is likely to be highly variable and potentially linked to underlying comorbidities. The pathological link between OS and postoperative complications remains unclear, in part due to the complexities of measuring ROS- and OS-mediated damage. Exogenous antioxidant use and exercise have been shown to modulate OS and may have potential as countermeasures to improve postoperative recovery. A better understanding of the underlying mechanisms of OS, redox signaling, and regulation can provide an opportunity for patient-specific phenotyping and development of targeted interventions to reduce the disruption that surgery can cause to our physiology. Anesthesiologists are in a unique position to deliver countermeasures to OS and improve physiological resilience. To shy away from a process so fundamental to the welfare of these patients would be foolhardy and negligent, thus calling for an improved understanding of this complex facet of human biology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This review will examine current definitions and trends in sepsis management as well pathophysiologic mechanisms in animal and ex vivo studies that correlate decreased energy production with deranged inflammatory response during the septic process. DATA SOURCES The latest articles in the literature that focus on the role of immunometabolism and associated mechanisms in sepsis were selected. STUDY SELECTION The most relevant, original articles were included in the review. DATA EXTRACTION All pertinent data for sepsis definitions as well as changes in immunometabolic pathways during the septic process was reviewed and assessed for inclusion in this article. DATA SYNTHESIS Sepsis is a major cause of multiple organ dysfunction. It is the principal cause of death resulting from infection and one of the most expensive conditions treated in the United States. Despite current efforts to accurately define sepsis, novel treatments and highly trained providers, mortality rates for sepsis remain high, prompting a need for further investigation of underlying immunometabolic mechanisms to identify potential treatment targets. The definition of sepsis has shifted and changed in the past few decades due to poorly defined criteria, as well as unclear guidelines for providers with regards to management of severe sepsis and septic shock. The early identification of patients with a systemic inflammatory response that will progress to septic shock is critical since recent traditional therapeutic approaches, such as early goal-directed therapy, IV immunoglobulin, and anti-tumor necrosis factor-α antibodies have failed. CONCLUSIONS There are no effective anti-sepsis drug therapies due to complex inflammatory and metabolic interactions. Further studies regarding the interface between innate immunity and metabolism should be investigated to effectively address septic patient mortality rates.

Salidroside Delays Cellular Senescence by Stimulating Mitochondrial Biogenesis Partly through a miR-22/SIRT-1 Pathway. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2019; 2019:5276096. [PMID: 31612074 PMCID: PMC6757293 DOI: 10.1155/2019/5276096] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2019] [Revised: 08/06/2019] [Accepted: 08/24/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Calorie restriction (CR) is a nongenetic intervention with a robust effect on delaying aging in mammals and other organisms. A mild stimulation on mitochondrial biogenesis induced by CR seems to be an important action mode for its benefits. Here, we reported that a component isolated from Rhodiola rosea L., salidroside, delays replicative senescence in human fibroblasts, which is related to its stimulation on mitochondrial biogenesis by activating SIRT1 partly resulted from inhibition on miR-22. Salidroside increased the mitochondrial mass that accompanied an increment of the key regulators of mitochondrial biogenesis including PGC-1α, NRF-1, and TFAM and reversed the mitochondrial dysfunction in presenescent 50PD cells, showing a comparable effect to that of resveratrol. SIRT1 is involved in the inducement of mitochondrial biogenesis by salidroside. The declined expression of SIRT1 in 50PD cells compared with the young 30PD cells was prevented upon salidroside treatment. In addition, pretreatment of EX-527, a selective SIRT1 inhibitor, could block the increased mitochondrial mass and decreased ROS production induced by salidroside in 50PD cells, resulting in an accelerated cellular senescence. We further found that salidroside reversed the elevated miR-22 expression in presenescent cells according to a miRNA array analysis and a subsequent qPCR validation. Enforced miR-22 expression by using a Pre-miR-22 lentiviral construct induced the young fibroblasts (30PD) into a senescence state, accompanied with increased senescence-related molecules including p53, p21, p16, and decreased SIRT1 expression, a known target of miR-22. However, salidroside could partly impede the senescence progression induced by lenti-Pre-miR-22. Taken together, our data suggest that salidroside delays replicative senescence by stimulating mitochondrial biogenesis partly through a miR22/SIRT1 pathway, which enriches our current knowledge of a salidroside-mediated postpone senility effect and provides a new perspective on the antidecrepitude function of this naturally occurring compound in animals and humans.

Abstract
Sepsis, the 10th leading cause of death, is the most expensive condition in the United States. The immune response in sepsis transitions from hyperinflammatory to a hypoinflammatory and immunosuppressive phase; individual variations regarding timing and overlap between hyper- and hypoinflammation exist in a number of patients. While one third of the sepsis-related deaths occur during hyperinflammation, majority of the sepsis-mortality occurs during the hypoinflammatory phase. Currently, no phase-specific molecular-based therapies exist to treat sepsis. Coordinated epigenetic and metabolic perturbations orchestrate this shift from hyper- to hypoinflammation in innate immune cells during sepsis. These epigenetic and metabolic changes during sepsis progression and therapeutic opportunities they pose are described in this review.

Abstract
Obesity increases morbidity and mortality in acute illnesses such as sepsis and septic shock. We showed previously that the early/hyper-inflammatory phase of sepsis is exaggerated in obese mice with sepsis; sirtuin 2 (SIRT2) modulates sepsis inflammation in obesity. Evidence suggests that obesity with sepsis is associated with increased oxidative stress. It is unknown whether exaggerated hyper-inflammation of obesity with sepsis modulates the SIRT2 function in return. We showed recently that SIRT6 oxidation during hyper-inflammation of sepsis modulates its glycolytic function. This study tested the hypothesis that increased oxidative stress and direct SIRT2 oxidation exaggerate hyper-inflammation in obesity with sepsis. Using spleen and liver tissue from mice with diet-induced obesity (DIO) we studied oxidized vs. total SIRT2 expression during hyper- and hypo-inflammation of sepsis. To elucidate the mechanism of SIRT2 oxidation (specific modifications of redox-sensitive cysteines) and its effect on inflammation, we performed site-directed mutations of redox-sensitive cysteines Cys221 and Cys224 on SIRT2 to serine (C221S and C224S), transfected HEK293 cells with mutants or WT SIRT2, and studied SIRT2 enzymatic activity and NFĸBp65 deacetylation. Finally, we studied the effect of SIRT2 mutation on LPS-induced inflammation using RAW 264.7 macrophages. In an inverse relationship, total SIRT2 decreased while oxidized SIRT2 expression increased during hyper-inflammation and SIRT2 was unable to deacetylate NFĸBp65 with increased oxidative stress of obesity with sepsis. Mechanistically, both the mutants (C221S and C224S) show decreased (1) SIRT2 enzymatic activity, (2) deacetylation of NFĸBp65, and (3) anti-inflammatory activity in response to LPS vs. WT SIRT2. Direct oxidation modulates SIRT2 function during hyper-inflammatory phase of obesity with sepsis via redox sensitive cysteines.

Abstract
Sepsis is a complex of life-threating organ dysfunction in critically ill patients, with a primary infectious cause or through secondary infection of damaged tissues. The systemic consequences of sepsis have been intensively examined and evidences of local alterations and repercussions in the intestinal mucosal compartment is gradually defining gut-associated changes during sepsis. In the present review, we focus on sepsis-induced dysfunction of the intestinal barrier, consisting of an increased permeability of the epithelial lining, which may facilitate bacterial translocation. We discuss disturbances in intestinal vascular tonus and perfusion and coagulopathies with respect to their proposed underlying molecular mechanisms. The consequences of enzymatic responses by pancreatic proteases, intestinal alkaline phosphatases, and several matrix metalloproteases are also described. We conclude our insight with a discussion on novel therapeutic interventions derived from crucial aspects of the gut mucosal dynamics during sepsis.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
This study was designed to investigate the effects and the mechanism of Tanshinone IIA (TIIA) on endotoxic shock-induced lung injury in a mouse model.
Methods
Mice were administered intraperitoneally with TIIA (10 mg/kg) 0.5 h before lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge and then received additional injections every 24 h during the 3-day experimental period. The physiological indexes, the survival rate and the parameters for lung injury were examined. The protein levels of Sirt1, and the acetylation and activation of NF-κB p65 were determined. The expression and secretion of pro-inflammatory factors were evaluated, respectively.
Key findings
Treatment with TIIA significantly improved physiological indexes and increased the survival rate of mice in response to LPS challenge. TIIA treatment displayed an obvious up-regulation of Sirt1 protein, in accompany with reduced acetylation and activation of NF-κB p65 following LPS stimulation. In addition, TIIA attenuated LPS-induced lung injury and prevented the expression and secretion of pro-inflammatory factors. However, the protective effects of TIIA were abolished by Sirt1 inhibitor.
Conclusions
Tanshinone IIA prevents LPS-induced secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines thus exerts protective effects against acute lung injury, probably via modulation of Sirt1/NF-κB signalling pathway.

Abstract
Celastrol, derived from the roots of the Tripterygium Wilfordi, shows a striking effect on obesity. In the present study, the role of celastrol in cholestasis was investigated using metabolomics and transcriptomics. Celastrol treatment significantly alleviated cholestatic liver injury in mice induced by α-naphthyl isothiocyanate (ANIT) and thioacetamide (TAA). Celastrol was found to activate sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), increase farnesoid X receptor (FXR) signaling and inhibit nuclear factor-kappa B and P53 signaling. The protective role of celastrol in cholestatic liver injury was diminished in mice on co-administration of SIRT1 inhibitors. Further, the effects of celastrol on cholestatic liver injury were dramatically decreased in Fxr-null mice, suggesting that the SIRT1-FXR signaling pathway mediates the protective effects of celastrol. These observations demonstrated a novel role for celastrol in protecting against cholestatic liver injury through modulation of the SIRT1 and FXR.

Abstract
Sepsis may directly lead to multiple organ failure, which is among the leading causes of mortality in critically ill patients. According to data released by the Global Sepsis Alliance, the number of mortalities due to sepsis exceeded the combined number for prostate cancer, breast cancer and AIDS in 2012. To date, studies have reported that resveratrol has marked positive effects including anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative and pro-microcirculatory functions in sepsis-induced organ injury, significantly improving the survival time and mortality of sepsis animals. The present systematic review sought to further clarify the efficacy and safety of resveratrol in the treatment of sepsis. Studies on resveratrol application in the treatment of sepsis-induced organ injury in animal models were reviewed by searching various Chinese and other language databases (PubMed, Embase, CNKI, WanFang and WeiPu) and by manually searching the references of related articles. The selection and evaluation of the studies was performed by two independent reviewers. A total of 260 related studies were initially identified. Following application of the exclusion factors and inclusion criteria, 11 studies were included. Meta-analysis revealed that resveratrol exerted significant protective effect in sepsis-induced animal models of organ injury, through anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and pro-microcirculatory functions compared with in the placebo group. While nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) and nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (NRF-2) are the two major signaling pathways to have been associated with the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects of resveratrol, these factors were not quantified for mean values, therefore not suitable for systematic evaluation. For related factors, the results of meta-analysis were as follows: For tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), the standardized mean difference (SMD) was -13.50 [95% confidence interval (CI): -22.08, -4.91; P=0.002]; for malondialdehyde (MDA), the SMD was -3.10 (95% CI: -5.27, -0.93; P=0.005); for mean arterial pressure the SMD was 1.34 (95% CI: 0.07, 2.62; P=0.04); for interleukin (IL)-6 the SMD was -9.57 (95% CI: -20.90, 1.75; P=0.10); and for IL-10 the SMD was 0.80 (95% CI: -0.73, 2.34; P=0.31). It was concluded that resveratrol exerted significant anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects through NF-κB and NRF-2 signaling pathways in animal models of sepsis-induced multiple organ injury, manifesting as significant downregulation of TNF-α and MDA expression and improved microcirculation, therefore ameliorating septic damage to the body, which may ultimately improve survival ratios.

Abstract
Sepsis, a dysregulated host response to infection, is a major public health concern. Though experimental and clinical studies relating to sepsis are increasing, the mechanism of sepsis is not completely understood. To date, numerous studies have shown that sirtuins (silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog), which belong to the class III histone deacetylases, may have a varied, or even opposite, effect in the pathogenesis of sepsis. Notably, downstream mechanisms of sirtuins are not fully understood. The sirtuin family consists of sirtuins 1-7; among them, sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is the most studied one, during the development of sepsis. Furthermore, other sirtuin members are also confirmed to be involved in the regulation of inflammatory or metabolic signaling following sepsis. In addition, sirtuins may interact with each other to form a precise regulatory mechanism in different phases of sepsis. Therefore, in this review, by accumulating data from PubMed, we intend to explain the role of sirtuin in sepsis, which we hope will pave the way for further experimental study and the potential future clinical applications of sirtuins.

Abstract
Background This study investigated the effect of supernatant of endothelial cells stimulated by peripheral blood serum from sepsis patients on phenotype and function of peripheral NKT cells. Material/Methods Twenty-one patients with sepsis and 21 healthy subjects were included. Peripheral blood (5 ml) was collected from all patients and healthy subjects. To isolate peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), Ficoll lymphocyte separation solution was used. Flow cytometry was carried out to determine NKT cell ratio, activity, and cytokine secretion. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells were cultured with serum from sepsis patients for 48 h before changing to fresh medium, and supernatant was collected. The supernatant was used to co-culture PBMCs before analyzing NKT activity and cytokines. Results The ratios of CD3-CD56+NK cells and CD3+CD56+NKT cells were increased in peripheral blood from sepsis patients. Surface receptors p30, G2D, and p44 of CD3+CD56+NKT cells were elevated, while inhibitory receptors NKG2A and 158b were decreased. CD4+ NKT cells in peripheral blood from sepsis patients were enhanced. GranB, IFN-γ, IL-4, and IL-17 in NKT cells from sepsis patients were up-regulated. After co-culture with vascular endothelial cells treated with sepsis serum, expression of p30 and G2D in NKT cells was upregulated, and number of TCRVα24-positive cells was increased. In addition, ratio of CD4+NKT cells was increased, and intracellular expression of IL-4 and IFN-γ was elevated. Conclusions The study demonstrates that the level of NKT cells in peripheral blood from sepsis patients is increased, and their activity is enhanced. In addition, vascular endothelial cells from sepsis patients can regulate the activity of NKT cells.

Abstract
Sepsis and septic shock are the leading causes of death in non-coronary intensive care units worldwide. During sepsis-associated immune dysfunction, the early/hyper-inflammatory phase transitions to a late/hypo-inflammatory phase as sepsis progresses. The majority of sepsis-related deaths occur during the hypo-inflammatory phase. There are no phase-specific therapies currently available for clinical use in sepsis. Metabolic rewiring directs the transition from hyper-inflammatory to hypo-inflammatory immune responses to protect homeostasis during sepsis inflammation, but the mechanisms underlying this immuno-metabolic network are unclear. Here, we review the roles of NAD+ sensing Sirtuin (SIRT) family members in controlling immunometabolic rewiring during the acute systemic inflammatory response associated with sepsis. We discuss individual contributions among family members SIRT 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 in regulating the metabolic switch between carbohydrate-fueled hyper-inflammation to lipid-fueled hypo-inflammation. We further highlight the role of SIRT1 and SIRT2 as potential "druggable" targets for promoting immunometabolic homeostasis and increasing sepsis survival.

Front Pharmacol 2018; 9:854.

Abstract
Objective: Geniposide (GE) is a major component in the fruit of Gardenia jasminoides Ellis. Oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and canonical Smad3 pathway are implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiac fibrosis. We aim to investigate the protective roles of GE in isoproterenol (ISO)-induced cardiac fibrosis. Methods: ISO was used to induce cardiac fibrosis in male C57BL/6 mice. GE and the EX-527 were given for 2 weeks to detect the effects of GE on cardiac fibrosis. Levels of oxidative stress, ER stress, and Smad3 were evaluated by real time-PCR, Western blots, immunohistochemistry staining, immunofluorescence staining, and assay kits. Results: GE treatment alleviated cardiac dysfunction, fibrosis, and hypertrophy in mice response to ISO. Additionally, GE also suppressed the transformation of cardiac fibroblasts to myofibroblasts stimulated by transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) in vitro. Mechanistically, GE inhibited the oxidative stress, ER stress, as well as Smad3 pathway activated by ISO or TGF-β. A selective antagonist of sirtuin 1 deacetylase (SIRT1), EX-527, partially counteracted the anti-fibrotic effect and weakened the inhibitory effect on the transformation of cardiac fibroblasts to myofibroblasts after the treatment of GE. Acetylated Smad3 (ac-Smad3), oxidative stress, as well as ER stress pathway were significantly enhanced after SIRT1 was blocked while phosphorylated Smad3 (P-Smad3) was not affected. Conclusion: GE could combat cardiac fibrosis in vivo and in vitro by inhibiting oxidative stress, ER stress, and ac-Smad3 in a SIRT1-dependent manner and suppressing P-Samd3 pathway independent of SIRT1 activation. GE is expected to be a promising agent against cardiac fibrosis.

Abstract
Chemical modifications of proteins or cofactors, including acetylation and oxidation of amino acid residues of various signal proteins, whether transient or successive, play key roles in modulating biological functions. Small molecules that have signaling functions in biological systems through the chemical modification of proteins include nitric oxide (NO), hydrogen peroxide, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen sulfide. To investigate the pathophysiological roles of these molecules, caged compounds have been developed that allow precise spatiotemporal control of the release of these species in response to photoirradiation in the ultraviolet or visible region. For example, photocontrollable NO releasers can regulate the responses of blood vessels in vivo and ex vivo. In addition, photocontrollable (caged) inhibitors of histone deacetylase (HDAC) can be used to regulate HDAC activity in response to photoirradiation. Such photocontrol technology has provided chemical tools for a variety of biological studies, including investigations of epigenetic mechanisms.

Sirt1 Protects Endothelial Cells against LPS-Induced Barrier Dysfunction. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2017; 2017:4082102.

Abstract
Sepsis is a threatening health problem and characterized by microvascular dysfunction. In this study, we verified that LPS caused the downregulation of Sirt1 and the hyperpermeability of endothelial cells. Inhibition of Sirt1 with ex527 or Sirt1 siRNA displayed a higher permeability, while activation of Sirt1 with SRT1720 reversed the LPS-induced hyperpermeability, formation of fiber stress, and disruption of VE-cadherin distribution. In pulmonary microvascular vein endothelial cells isolated from wild-type mice, Sirt1 was attenuated upon LPS, while Sirt1 was preserved in a receptor of advanced glycation end product-knockout mice. The RAGE antibody could also diminish the downregulation and ubiquitination of Sirt1 in LPS-exposed human umbilical vein endothelial cells. An LPS-induced decrease in Sirt1 activity was attenuated by the RAGE antibody and TLR4 inhibitor. In vivo study also demonstrated the attenuating role of Sirt1 and RAGE knockout in LPS-induced increases in dextran leakage of mesenteric venules. Furthermore, activation of Sirt1 prevented LPS-induced decreases in the activity and expression of superoxide dismutase 2, as well as the increases in NADPH oxidase 4 and reactive oxygen species, while inhibition of Sirt1 aggravated the SOD2 decline. It also demonstrated that Sirt1-deacetylated p53 is required for p53 inactivation, which reversed the downregulation of β-catenin caused by LPS.

Abstract
It has been previously demonstrated that lipopolysaccharides (LPS) inhibit the viability, migration, adhesion and in vitro angiogenesis of late endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). However, the mechanisms underlying this LPS‑induced impairment of late EPC functional activity are unknown. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether Toll‑like receptor 4 (TLR4) is expressed and functional on late EPCs, using late EPCs of 3‑5 passages. Cells were deprived of serum for 24 h prior to experiments and incubated with 10 µg/ml LPS for 24 h with or without pretreatment with 2 µg/ml TLR4 signaling inhibitor CLI‑095 for 30 min. The viability, migration, adhesion and in vitro angiogenesis, as well as the expression of silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1), in late EPCs were evaluated. Treatment with 10 µg/ml LPS decreased the viability, migration and adhesion abilities, and in vitro angiogenesis of late EPCs. Pretreatment with the TLR4 signaling inhibitor reversed this LPS‑induced dysfunction of late EPCs. LPS downregulated the expression of SIRT1 protein, however, blocking TLR4 attenuated the effect of LPS on SIRT1 expression. Therefore, the results of the present study indicate that LPS impaired the functional activity of late EPCs via TLR4, which may be associated with decreased SIRT1 expression.

Potential therapeutic action of nitrite in sickle cell disease. Redox Biol 2017; 12:1026-1039. [PMID: 28511346 PMCID: PMC5430577 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2017.05.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2017] [Revised: 05/07/2017] [Accepted: 05/08/2017] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Sickle cell disease is caused by a mutant form of hemoglobin that polymerizes under hypoxic conditions, increasing rigidity, fragility, calcium influx-mediated dehydration, and adhesivity of red blood cells. Increased red cell fragility results in hemolysis, which reduces nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability, and induces platelet activation and inflammation leading to adhesion of circulating blood cells. Nitric Oxide inhibits adhesion and platelet activation. Nitrite has emerged as an attractive therapeutic agent that targets delivery of NO activity to areas of hypoxia through bioactivation by deoxygenated red blood cell hemoglobin. In this study, we demonstrate anti-platelet activity of nitrite at doses achievable through dietary interventions with comparison to similar doses with other NO donating agents. Unlike other NO donating agents, nitrite activity is shown to be potentiated in the presence of red blood cells in hypoxic conditions. We also show that nitrite reduces calcium associated loss of phospholipid asymmetry that is associated with increased red cell adhesion, and that red cell deformability is also improved. We show that nitrite inhibits red cell adhesion in a microfluidic flow-channel assay after endothelial cell activation. In further investigations, we show that leukocyte and platelet adhesion is blunted in nitrite-fed wild type mice compared to control after either lipopolysaccharide- or hemolysis-induced inflammation. Moreover, we demonstrate that nitrite treatment results in a reduction in adhesion of circulating blood cells and reduced red blood cell hemolysis in humanized transgenic sickle cell mice subjected to local hypoxia. These data suggest that nitrite is an effective anti-platelet and anti-adhesion agent that is activated by red blood cells, with enhanced potency under physiological hypoxia and in venous blood that may be useful therapeutically.

Abstract
Objective. Sepsis and septic shock, the leading causes of death in noncoronary intensive care units, kill more than 200,000/year in the US alone. Circulating cell-endothelial cell interactions are the rate determining factor in sepsis inflammation. Sirtuin, a seven-member family of proteins (SIRT1-7), epigenetically controls inflammation. We have studied the roles of SIRTs 1, 3, and 6 in sepsis previously. In this project, we studied the role of SIRT2 on sepsis-related inflammation. Methods. Sepsis was induced in C57Bl/6 (WT), SIRT2 knockout (SIRT2KO), and SIRT2 overexpressing (SIRT2KI) mice by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). We studied leukocyte/platelet adhesion using intravital microscopy and E-selectin/ICAM-1 adhesion molecule expression in the small intestine with immunohistochemistry (IHC) six hours post-CLP/sham surgery. We also studied 7-day survival rates in WT, SIRT2KO, and SIRT2KI sepsis mice. Results. Compared to WT mice, SIRT2KO mice show exaggeration while SIRT2KI mice show attenuation of cellular adhesion with sepsis in the small intestine. We also show that the small intestinal E-selectin and ICAM-1 expressions increased in SIRT2KO and decreased in SIRT2KI mice versus those in WT sepsis mice. We show that the 7-day survival rate is decreased in SIRT2KO and increased in SIRT2KI sepsis mice. Conclusion. SIRT2 modulates microvascular inflammation in sepsis and affects survival.

Abstract
Intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1) mediates the adhesion and transmigration of leukocytes across the endothelium, promoting inflammation. We investigated the epigenetic mechanism regulating ICAM1 expression. The pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α dramatically increased ICAM1 mRNA and protein levels in human brain microvascular endothelial cells and mouse brain microvessels. Chromatin immunoprecipitation revealed that TNF-α reduced methylation of histone H3 at lysines 9 and 27 (H3K9 and H3K27), well-known residues involved in gene suppression. Inhibition of G9a and EZH2, histone methyltransferases responsible for methylation at H3K9 and H3K27, respectively as well as G9a overexpression demonstrated the involvement of G9a in TNF-α-induced ICAM1 expression and leukocyte adhesion and transmigration. A specific role for KDM4B, a histone demethylase targeting H3K9me2, in TNF-α-induced ICAM1 upregulation was validated with siRNA. Moreover, treating mice with a KDM4 inhibitor ML324 blocked TNF-α-mediated neutrophil adhesion. Similarly, TNF-α-induced VCAM1 expression was suppressed by G9a overexpression and KDM4B knockdown. Collectively, we demonstrated that modification of H3K9me2 by G9a and KDM4B regulates expression of vascular adhesion molecules, and that depletion of these proteins or KDM4B reduces inflammation-induced leukocyte extravasation. Thus, blocking ICAM1 or KDM4B could offer a novel therapeutic opportunity treating brain diseases.

Abstract
In this study, LPS-induced inflammatory responses in BEAS-2B human bronchial epithelial cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC)s were found to be prevented by Dickkopf-1 (DKK-1), a secreted Wnt antagonist, and LGK974, a small molecular inhibitor of the Wnt secretion. LPS-induced IκB degradation and NF-κB nuclear translocation as well as the expressions of pro-inflammatory genes including IL-6, IL-8, TNF- α, IL-1β, MCP-1, MMP-9, COX-2 and iNOS, were all suppressed by DKK-1 and LGK974 in a dose-dependent manner. The suppressive effects of LGK974 on NF-κB, IκB, and pro-inflammatory gene expression were rescued by ectopic expression of β-catenin, suggesting that the anti-inflammatory activity of LGK974 is mediated by modulation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and not by unrelated side effects. When Wnt recombinant proteins were treated to cells, Wnt3a and Wnt5a significantly induced pro-inflammatory gene expressions, while Wnt7a and Wnt10b showed little effects. It was also found that Wnt3a and Wnt5a expressions were significantly induced by LPS treatment. Consistently, knockdown of Wnt3a and Wnt5a blocked LPS-induced inflammatory responses, while treatment of recombinant Wnt3a and Wnt5a proteins rescued the inhibition of inflammatory responses by LGK974. Findings of this study showed that DKK-1 and LGK974 suppress LPS-induced inflammatory response by modulating Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

Abstract
Low vision and blindness are important health problems that affect millions of people throughout the world. The most common and important pathologies are diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma as well as cataracts. The latter consists of an opacification of the lens of the eye which impedes the passage of light and represents one of the most important causes of vision loss. Among the risk factors for cataract development, there are life-style factors such as the use of tobacco, abuse of alcohol and unhealthy diet. In light of this, dietary components that possess anti-oxidant activity, such as polyphenols for instance, can be considered good candidates for human studies in the prevention and or treatment of such diseases. Among dietary components, the antioxidant capacity of certain polyphenols is well known, and these could be good candidates. In this review we focus our attention on the current scientific literature regarding to the effects of resveratrol on cataracts and other ocular diseases, along with its potential mechanism/s of action. A large number of preclinical studies support the involvement of resveratrol in clinical trials for the prevention and treatment of eye diseases induced by oxidative stress and inflammation, such as age-related cataract.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Morbid obesity increases the cost of care in critically ill patients. Sepsis is the leading cause of death in noncoronary intensive care units. Circulating cell-endothelial cell interactions in microcirculation are the rate-determining factors in any inflammation; obesity increases these interactions further. Adiponectin deficiency is implicated in increased cardiovascular risk in obese patients. We have shown that adiponectin deficiency increases microvascular dysfunction in early sepsis. In the present study, we investigated the effect of adiponectin replacement on nutritionally obese mice with early sepsis. METHODS We used cecal ligation and puncture model of sepsis in mice with diet-induced obesity (DIO) vs control diet (CTRL), with or without adiponectin treatment. We studied leukocyte/platelet adhesion in the cerebral microcirculation in early sepsis. We also studied the effect of adiponectin on free fatty acid (FFA)-fed and lipopolysaccharide-stimulated bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) for mechanistic studies. RESULTS Leukocyte and platelet adhesion increased in the cerebral microcirculation of DIO and CTRL mice with early sepsis vs. sham; moreover cell adhesion in DIO-sepsis group was significantly higher than in the CTRL-sepsis group. Adiponectin replacement decreased leukocyte/platelet adhesion in CTRL and DIO mice. In FFA-fed BMDM, adiponectin treatment decreased tumor necrosis factor-alpha mRNA expression and increased sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) mRNA expression. Furthermore, using BMDM from SIRT1 knockout mice, we showed that the adiponectin treatment decreased inflammatory response in FFA-fed BMDM via SIRT1-dependent and -independent pathways. CONCLUSION Adiponectin replacement attenuates microvascular inflammation in DIO-sepsis mice. Mechanistically, adiponectin treatment in FFA-fed mouse macrophages attenuates inflammatory response via SIRT1-dependent and -independent pathways.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Obesity increases morbidity and resource utilization in sepsis patients. Sepsis transitions from early/hyper-inflammatory to late/hypo-inflammatory phase. Majority of sepsis-mortality occurs during the late sepsis; no therapies exist to treat late sepsis. In lean mice, we have shown that sirtuins (SIRTs) modulate this transition. Here, we investigated the role of sirtuins, especially the adipose-tissue abundant SIRT-2 on transition from early to late sepsis in obese with sepsis. METHODS Sepsis was induced using cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) in ob/ob mice. We measured microvascular inflammation in response to lipopolysaccharide/normal saline re-stimulation as a "second-hit" (marker of immune function) at different time points to track phases of sepsis in ob/ob mice. We determined SIRT-2 expression during different phases of sepsis. We studied the effect of SIRT-2 inhibition during the hypo-inflammatory phase on immune function and 7-day survival. We used a RAW264.7 (RAW) cell model of sepsis for mechanistic studies. We confirmed key findings in diet induced obese (DIO) mice with sepsis. RESULTS We observed that the ob/ob-septic mice showed an enhanced early inflammation and a persistent and prolonged hypo-inflammatory phase when compared to WT mice. Unlike WT mice that showed increased SIRT1 expression, we found that SIRT2 levels were increased in ob/ob mice during hypo-inflammation. SIRT-2 inhibition in ob/ob mice during the hypo-inflammatory phase of sepsis reversed the repressed microvascular inflammation in vivo via activation of endothelial cells and circulating leukocytes and significantly improved survival. We confirmed the key finding of the role of SIRT2 during hypo-inflammatory phase of sepsis in this project in DIO-sepsis mice. Mechanistically, in the sepsis cell model, SIRT-2 expression modulated inflammatory response by deacetylation of NFκBp65. CONCLUSION SIRT-2 regulates microvascular inflammation in obese mice with sepsis and may provide a novel treatment target for obesity with sepsis.

Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRT), first discovered in yeast as NAD+ dependent epigenetic and metabolic regulators, have comparable activities in human physiology and disease. Mounting evidence supports that the seven-member mammalian sirtuin family (SIRT1–7) guard homeostasis by sensing bioenergy needs and responding by making alterations in the cell nutrients. Sirtuins play a critical role in restoring homeostasis during stress responses. Inflammation is designed to “defend and mend” against the invading organisms. Emerging evidence supports that metabolism and bioenergy reprogramming direct the sequential course of inflammation; failure of homeostasis retrieval results in many chronic and acute inflammatory diseases. Anabolic glycolysis quickly induced (compared to oxidative phosphorylation) for ROS and ATP generation is needed for immune activation to “defend” against invading microorganisms. Lipolysis/fatty acid oxidation, essential for cellular protection/hibernation and cell survival in order to “mend,” leads to immune repression. Acute/chronic inflammations are linked to altered glycolysis and fatty acid oxidation, at least in part, by NAD+ dependent function of sirtuins. Therapeutically targeting sirtuins may provide a new class of inflammation and immune regulators. This review discusses how sirtuins integrate metabolism, bioenergetics, and immunity during inflammation and how sirtuin-directed treatment improves outcome in chronic inflammatory diseases and in the extreme stress response of sepsis.
