Expression of interleukin 1, interleukin 27, and TNF α genes in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy versus idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy: A case-control study. Health Sci Rep 2022; 5:e701. [PMID: 35782303 PMCID: PMC9234474 DOI: 10.1002/hsr2.701] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2022] [Revised: 05/29/2022] [Accepted: 05/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and Aims Congestive heart failure is a complex multifactorial syndrome due to tissue hypoperfusion that is affected by some factors like inflammatory cytokines. In our study, we investigated the exact gene expression of three inflammatory cytokines in ischemic and idiopathic cardiomyopathy patients. Methods From 49 studied recipients in the ischemic group, 23 (46.9%) were male and from 40 studied recipients in the idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy group, 19 (47.5%) were male. For the quantitative analysis of interleukin (IL)-1, IL-27, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α messenger RNAs expression level, the SYBR Green real-time polymerase chain reaction method was performed using SYBRPremix Ex TaqTM II (Tli RNaseH Plus; Takara) and designed primers specific for each gene in an iQ5 thermocycler (BioRad Laboratories) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Results Our results showed that the expression level of IL-1 and TNF-α were significantly higher in the ischemic patients compared to healthy controls (p < 0.001, p < 0.01, respectively); also, we found higher levels of IL-1 and IL-27 gene expressions in idiopathic patients compared to healthy controls (p < 0.001, p < 0.001, respectively). There were not any significant differences in IL-1, IL-27, and TNF-α expression levels between ischemic patients and idiopathic ones. Conclusion Although we would introduce IL-1, IL-27, and TNF-α as effective inflammatory cytokines on myocardial functions in ischemic and idiopathic cardiomyopathy patients, there is not any difference between these two groups in gene expression of three main inflammatory cytokines.

Interleukin-27 in liver xenotransplantation: A rational target to mitigate ischemia reperfusion injury and increase xenograft survival. Transplant Rev (Orlando) 2021; 36:100674. [PMID: 34861509 PMCID: PMC10072133 DOI: 10.1016/j.trre.2021.100674] [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: 05/20/2021] [Revised: 09/14/2021] [Accepted: 11/17/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
Transplantation of xenogeneic organs is an attractive solution to the existing organ shortage dilemma, thus, securing a clinically acceptable prolongation of xenograft survival is an important goal. In preclinical transplantation models, recipients of liver, kidney, heart, or lung xenotransplants demonstrate significant graft damages through the release of pro-inflammatory molecules, including the C-reactive protein, cytokines, and histone-DNA complexes that all foster graft rejection. Recent studies have demonstrated that mitigation of ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) greatly improves xenograft survival. Organ IRI develops primarily on a complex network of cytokines and chemokines responding to molecular cues from the graft milieu. Among these, interleukin 27 (IL-27) plays an immunomodulatory role in IRI onset due to graft environment-dependent pro- and anti- inflammatory activities. This review focuses on the impact of IL-27 on IRI of liver xenotransplants and provides insights on the function of IL-27 that could potentially guide genetic engineering strategies of donor pigs and/or conditioning of organs prior to transplantation.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammation characterized by an imbalance between inhibitors and stimulators of the inflammatory system that leads to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques in the vessel walls. Interleukin (IL)-27 is one of the recently discovered cytokines that have an immunomodulatory role in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. However, the definite role of IL-27 in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis remains unclear. Recent studies on cardiomyocytes and vascular endothelium have demonstrated mechanisms through which IL-27 could potentially modulate atherosclerosis. Upregulation of the IL-27 receptor was also observed in the atherosclerotic plaques. In addition, circulatory IL-27 levels were increased in patients with acute coronary syndrome and myocardial infarction. A regenerative, neovascularization, and cardioprotective role of IL-27 has also been implicated. Future studies are warranted to elucidate the biologic function and clinical significance of IL-27 in atherosclerosis.

Abstract
The occurrence of ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury leads to dysfunction as well as high rates of morbidity and mortality in stroke, and new effective therapeutic strategies for I/R are still needed. We investigated the effect of IL-27 on I/R injury-induced neurological function impairment, cerebral infarction volume and variation in levels of inflammatory factors in mice with middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), as well as concentration of LDH and neuronal apoptosis in a neuron oxygen-glucose deprivation and reperfusion (OGD/R) model mediated by gp130/STAT3 signaling in vitro. Our results indicated that IL-27 could bind to its receptor of gp130 to attenuate the I/R injury-induced impairment function and cerebral infarction volume, and decrease inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β and MCP-1 but increase anti-inflammatory factors IL-10 and TGF-β in vivo, while inhibiting LDH leakage and neuronal apoptosis through activation of STAT3 to antagonize I/R induction. Our results suggest that IL-27 may protect the brain from I/R injury through the gp130/STAT3 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Indoxyl sulfate (IS) is accumulated during severe renal insufficiency and known for its nephrotoxic properties. Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) is present in the kidney and acts as a renal sensor. However, the mechanism underlying IS-mediated renal tubular damage in view of TRPV1 is lacking. Here, we demonstrated that TRPV1 was expressed in tubular cells of Lilly Laboratories cell-porcine kidney 1 (LLC-PK1) and Madin-Darby canine kidney cells (MDCK). IS treatment in both cells exhibited tubular damage with increased LDH release and reduced cell viability in dose- and time-dependent manners. MDCK, however, was more vulnerable to IS. We, therefore, investigated MDCK cells to explore a more detailed mechanism. Interestingly, IS-induced tubular damage was markedly attenuated in the presence of selective TRPV1 blockers. IS showed no effect on TRPV1 expression but significantly increased arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase (ALOX12) protein, mRNA expression, and 12(S)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12(S)-HETE) amounts in a dose-dependent manner, indicating that the ALOX12/12(S)-HETE pathway induced TRPV1 hyperfunction in IS-mediated tubulotoxicity. Blockade of ALOX12 by cinnamyl-3,4-dihydroxy-α-cyanocinnamate or baicalein attenuated the effects of IS. Since aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) activation after IS binding is crucial in mediating cell death, here, we found that the AhR blockade not only ameliorated tubular damage but also attenuated ALOX12 expression and 12(S)-HETE production caused by IS. The uremic toxic adsorbent AST-120, however, showed little effect on ALOX12 and 12(S)-HETE, as well as IS-induced cell damage. These results clearly indicated that IS activated AhR and then upregulated ALOX12, and this induced endovanilloid 12(S)-HETE synthesis and contributed to TRPV1 hyperfunction in IS-treated tubular cells. Further study on TRPV1 may attenuate kidney susceptibility to the functional loss of end-stage kidney disease via IS.

The Expression of IL-12 Family Members in Patients with Hypertension and Its Association with the Occurrence of Carotid Atherosclerosis. Mediators Inflamm 2020; 2020:2369279. [PMID: 32322161 PMCID: PMC7165332 DOI: 10.1155/2020/2369279] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2019] [Revised: 02/13/2020] [Accepted: 02/27/2020] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The interleukin-12 (IL-12) family consists of four members, namely, IL-12, IL-23, IL-27, and IL-35. The aim of this study was to examine the expression of circulating IL-12, IL-23, IL-27, and IL-35 in hypertensive patients. METHODS Blood samples were collected from hypertensive patients and nonhypertensive (control) subjects, and protein multifactorial monitor kits were used to measure the plasma IL-12, IL-23, IL-27, and IL-35 levels in each sample. In addition, all enrolled subjects underwent ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) and vascular stiffness. RESULTS Hypertensive patients exhibited higher IL-12, IL-23, and IL-27 levels and lower IL-35 levels than control subjects; IL-12, IL-23, and IL-27 levels were positively correlated with both systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), while IL-35 levels were negatively correlated with SBP and DBP. IL-12, IL-23, and IL-27 levels gradually increased in patients with grade I, II, and III hypertension, while IL-35 levels gradually reduced. According to the ABPM results, hypertensive patients were divided into the dipper and nondipper hypertension groups; IL-12, IL-23, IL-27, and IL-35 levels showed no differences between the two groups, but IL-12, IL-23, and IL-27 levels in both groups increased compared with those in the control group, while IL-35 levels decreased. Additionally, the expression of these IL-12 family members was influenced by many clinical factors and was independently associated with the occurrence of carotid atherosclerotic plaques. CONCLUSIONS The changes in IL-12, IL-23, IL-27, and IL-35 levels were not associated with the presence of the nondipper type but were closely associated with the development of carotid atherosclerotic plaque in hypertensive patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a clinical syndrome characterized by significant morbidity and a high death rate. Interleukin (IL)-27 is a newly described member of the IL-6/IL-12 heterodimeric cytokine family and displays anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic properties. OBJECTIVES To determine the effect and mechanism of IL-27 in AKI. METHOD We used a mouse model of renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury to investigate whether IL-27 has a therapeutic potential for the treatment of AKI. For the IL-27 administration group, IL-27 protein was injected 1 h before ischemia. Human proximal tubular epithelial cells were exposed to ischemia for 2 h and followed by 2 h of reperfusion (I2h+R2h treatment) used as an in vitro model to investigate the effect of IL-27. RESULTS Two IL-27 subunits, Epstein-Barr virus gene 3 and p28, were upregulated in kidneys 24 h after I/R. Renal expression of IL-27 receptor subunits (gp130 and WSX-1) was also increased. Treatment with IL-27 reduced structural/functional damages, ameliorated renal inflammation, inhibited the cleaved caspase-3 expression, upregulated antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2 and downregulated proapoptotic protein Bax in the kidneys of mice subjected to I/R. Meanwhile, the level of IL-27 receptor on renal tubular epithelial cells was increased after I2h+R2h treatment, and IL-27 administration suppressed I2h+R2h-induced epithelial cell apoptosis. Furthermore, IL-27 treatment led to activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) both in vivo and in vitro, and IL-27-mediated protection against I2h+R2h injury was abolished by STAT3 inhibition. CONCLUSIONS IL-27 protects against renal I/R injury by activating STAT3, suggesting that IL-27 may represent a novel strategy for the treatment of AKI.

Abstract
Ischemic neuron loss contributes to brain dysfunction in patients with cardiac arrest (CA). Histidine–tryptophan–ketoglutarate (HTK) solution is a preservative used during organ transplantation. We tested the potential of HTK to protect neurons from severe hypoxia (SH) following CA. We isolated rat primary cortical neurons and induced SH with or without HTK. Changes in caspase-3, hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α), and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase-4 (NOX4) expression were evaluated at different time points up to 72 h. Using a rat asphyxia model, we induced CA-mediated brain damage and then completed resuscitation. HTK or sterile saline was administered into the left carotid artery. Neurological deficit scoring and mortality were evaluated for 3 days. Then the rats were sacrificed for evaluation of NOX4 and H2O2 levels in blood and brain. In the in vitro study, HTK attenuated SH- and H2O2-mediated cytotoxicity in a volume- and time-dependent manner, associated with persistent HIF-1α expression and reductions in procaspase-3 activation and NOX4 expression. The inhibition of HIF-1α abrogated HTK’s effect on NOX4. In the in vivo study, neurological scores were significantly improved by HTK. H2O2 level, NOX4 activity, and NOX4 gene expression were all decreased in the brain specimens of HTK-treated rats. Our results suggest that HTK acts as an effective neuroprotective solution by maintaining elevated HIF-1α level, which was associated with inhibited procaspase-3 activation and decreased NOX4 expression.

Abstract
Our previous data suggest that the heterodimeric interleukin-27 (IL-27) could participate in the developing of insulin resistance (IR). Our aim was to assess the participation of IL-27p28 gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as markers for IR, subclinical atherosclerosis (SA) and cardiovascular risk factors in a Mexican population. Five IL-27p28 SNPs (rs153109, rs40837, rs17855750, rs26528 and rs181206) were genotyped in 856 individuals with IR and 644 participants without IR. Under inheritance models adjusted for confounding factors, the rs153109A (0.78[0.64-0.94] Padditive = 0.008, 0.58[0.41-0.82] Precessive = 0.002, 0.57[0.38-0.83] Pcodominant2 = 0.004), rs26528T (0.78[0.64-0.94] Padditive = 0.008, 0.61[0.43-0.88] Precessive = 0.007, 0.57[0.38-0.84] Pcodominant2 = 0.004) and rs40837A (0.76[0.63-0.92] Padditive = 0.004; 0.60[0.42-0.86] Precessive = 0.005; 0.54[0.37-0.80] Pcodominant2 = 0.002) alleles were related with a decreased risk of IR. Moreover, AAATA haplotype that contains the protector alleles was related with 17% lower risk of presenting IR (0.83 [0.71-0.98], P = 0.023). After adjusting for potential confounding variables, IL-27p28 SNPs were not associated with SA. However, some SNPs were associated with hypertension (rs26528 and rs40837) and increased total abdominal fat (rs17855750) in non-IR individuals, whereas in IR subjects we observed an association of rs26528 and rs40837 with hypoadiponectinemia. Our evidence suggests that rs40837A, rs153109A, and rs26528T alleles could be envisaged as protective markers for IR. Some polymorphisms showed an association with hypertension, low adiponectin levels, and increased total abdominal fat.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Icariin, a major active ingredient in traditional Chinese medicines, is attracting increasing attention because of its unique pharmacological effects against ischaemic heart disease. The histone deacetylase, sirtuin-1, plays a protective role in ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, and this study was designed to investigate the protective role of icariin in models of cardiac I/R injury and to elucidate the potential involvement of sirtuin-1. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH I/R injury was simulated in vivo (mouse hearts), ex vivo (isolated rat hearts) and in vitro (neonatal rat cardiomyocytes and H9c2 cells). Prior to I/R injury, animals or cells were exposed to icariin, with or without inhibitors of sirtuin-1 (sirtinol and SIRT1 siRNA). KEY RESULTS In vivo and in vitro, icariin given before I/R significantly improved post-I/R heart contraction and limited the infarct size and leakage of creatine kinase-MB and LDH from the damaged myocardium. Icariin also attenuated I/R-induced mitochondrial oxidative damage, decreasing malondialdehyde content and increasing superoxide dismutase activity and expression of Mn-superoxide dismutase. Icariin significantly improved mitochondrial membrane homeostasis by increasing mitochondrial membrane potential and cytochrome C stabilization, which further inhibited cell apoptosis. Sirtuin-1 was significantly up-regulated in hearts treated with icariin, whereas Ac-FOXO1 was simultaneously down-regulated. Importantly, sirtinol and SIRT1 siRNA either blocked icariin-induced cardioprotection or disrupted icariin-mediated mitochondrial homeostasis. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Pretreatment with icariin protected cardiomyocytes from I/R-induced oxidative stress through activation of sirtuin-1 /FOXO1 signalling.

[PMID: 28377726 PMCID: PMC5359218 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2017.00153] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2016] [Accepted: 02/27/2017] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
The cardioprotection of the immature heart during cardiac surgery remains controversial due to the differences between the adult heart and the newborn heart. Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a small bioactive molecule with diverse functions including cell proliferation and survival via its receptor: LPA1–LPA6. We previously reported that the expressions of LPA1 and LPA3 in rat hearts were much higher in immature hearts and then declined rapidly with age. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether LPA signaling plays a potential protective role in immature hearts which had experienced ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. The results showed that in Langendorff-perfused immature rat hearts (2 weeks), compared to I/R group, LPA pretreatment significantly enhanced the cardiac function, attenuated myocardial infarct size and CK-MB release, decreased myocardial apoptosis and increased the expression of pro-survival signaling molecules. All these effects could be abolished by Ki16425, an antagonist to LPA1 and LPA3. Similarly, LPA pretreatment protected H9C2 from hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) induced apoptosis and necrosis in vitro. The mechanisms underlying the anti-apoptosis effects were related to activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinas B (AKT) signaling pathways as well as phosphorylation of the downstream effector of AKT, glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK3β), through LPA1 and/or LPA3. What's more, we found that LPA preconditioning increased glucose uptake of H9C2 subjected to H/R by the activation of AMP-Activated Protein Kinase (AMPK) but not the translocation of GLUT4. In conclusion, our study indicates that LPA is a potent survival factor for immature hearts against I/R injuries and has the potential therapeutic function as a cardioplegia additive for infantile cardiac surgery.

Abstract
Kawasaki disease (KD) arises due to the disorder of the inflammation response and faulty immune regulation. Interleukin-27 (IL-27) is a novel cytokine with both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory effects. This study investigated the relationship between serum levels of IL-27, Interleukin-17A (IL-17A), Interleukin-10 (IL-10), Interleukin-6 (IL-6), Interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and coronary artery lesions (CALs) in patients with KD. We obtained blood samples from 81 children with KD before intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy. Levels of IL-27, IL-17A, IL-10, IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α were measured in 251 cases, including 4 groups: the normal control group, NC (n = 90), febrile control, FC (n = 80), KD without coronary arteries (n = 41) and KD with coronary arterial lesions (n = 40). White blood cells counts (WBC), red blood cells counts (RBC), hemoglobin, C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate and procalcitonin (PCT) were tested in all subjects. Levels of IL-27, IL-10, IL-17A, IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α were significantly elevated, and RBC and hemoglobin significantly decreased in the group of KD group compared with febrile and control groups. IL-27, IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α serum levels are even higher in KD children with CALs. There was positive relationship between serum levels of IL-27 and WBC, CRP, PCT, IL-10, IL-17A, IL-6 and TNF-α in children with KD. The up-regulation of IL-27 may be closely linked to up-regulation of systemic pro-inflammatory markers in acute KD. Morover, IL-27 may be involved in the development of CALs in acute KD.

Abstract
Enhanced sodium excretion is associated with intrarenal oxidative stress. The present study evaluated whether oxidative stress caused by high sodium (HS) may be involved in calcium oxalate crystal formation. Male rats were fed a sodium-depleted diet. Normal-sodium and HS diets were achieved by providing drinking water containing 0.3% and 3% NaCl, respectively. Rats were fed a sodium-depleted diet with 5% hydroxyl-L-proline (HP) for 7 and 42 days to induce hyperoxaluria and/or calcium oxalate deposition. Compared to normal sodium, HS slightly increased calcium excretion despite diuresis; however, the result did not reach statistical significance. HS did not affect the hyperoxaluria, hypocalciuria or supersaturation caused by HP; however, it increased calcium oxalate crystal deposition soon after 7 days of co-treatment. Massive calcium oxalate formation and calcium crystal excretion in HS+HP rats were seen after 42 days of treatment. HP-mediated hypocitraturia was further exacerbated by HS. Moreover, HS aggravated HP-induced renal injury and tubular damage via increased apoptosis and oxidative stress. Increased urinary malondialdehyde excretion, in situ superoxide production, NAD(P)H oxidase and xanthine oxidase expression and activity, and decreased antioxidant enzyme expression or activity in the HS+HP kidney indicated exaggerated oxidative stress. Interestingly, this redox imbalance was associated with reduced renal osteopontin and Tamm-Horsfall protein expression (via increased excretion) and sodium-dependent dicarboxylate cotransporter NaDC-1 upregulation. Collectively, our results demonstrate that a HS diet induces massive crystal formation in the hyperoxaluric kidney; this is not due to increased urinary calcium excretion but is related to oxidative injury and loss of anticrystallization defense.

Interleukin-27 Protects Cardiomyocyte-Like H9c2 Cells against Metabolic Syndrome: Role of STAT3 Signaling. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2015; 2015:689614. [PMID: 26339633 PMCID: PMC4538580 DOI: 10.1155/2015/689614] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2014] [Revised: 03/06/2015] [Accepted: 03/13/2015] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
The present results demonstrated that high glucose (G), salt (S), and cholesterol C (either alone or in combination), as mimicking extracellular changes in metabolic syndrome, damage cardiomyocyte-like H9c2 cells and reduce their viability in a time-dependent manner. However, the effects were greatest when cells were exposed to all three agents (GSC). The mRNA of glycoprotein (gp) 130 and WSX-1, both components of the interleukin (IL)-27 receptor, were present in H9c2 cells. Although mRNA expression was not affected by exogenous treatment with IL-27, the expression of gp130 mRNA (but not that of WSX-1 mRNA) was attenuated by GSC. Treatment of IL-27 to H9c2 cells increased activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and protected cells from GSC-induced cytochrome c release and cell damage. The protective effects of IL-27 were abrogated by the STAT3 inhibitor, stattic. The results of the present study clearly demonstrate that the STAT3 pathway triggered by anti-inflammatory IL-27 plays a role in protecting cardiomyocytes against GSC-mediated damage.
