Abstract
BACKGROUND Prognostic stratification of patients with sepsis is important for the development of individualized treatment strategies. Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) plays a key role in sepsis. This study aimed to identify a set of genes related to ER stress to construct a predictive model for the prognosis of sepsis. METHODS The transcriptomic and clinical data of 479 sepsis patients were obtained from GSE65682 and divided into a training set (n=288) and a validation set (n=191) at a ratio of 3:2. The external test set was GSE95233 (n=51). LASSO and Cox regression analyses were performed to establish a signature to predict the prognosis of patients with sepsis. Moreover, we developed a nomogram that included the risk signature and clinical features to predict survival probability. RESULTS A prognostic signature was constructed with ten endoplasmic reticulum related genes (ADRB2, DHCR7, GABARAPL2, MAOA, MPO, PDZD8, QDPR, SCAP, TFRC, and TLR4) in the training set, which significantly divided patients with sepsis into high- and low-risk groups in terms of survival. This signature was validated using validation and external test sets. A nomogram based on the risk signature was constructed to quantitatively predict the prognosis of patients with sepsis. CONCLUSIONS We constructed an ERS signature as a novel prognostic marker for predicting survival in sepsis patients, which could be used to develop novel biomarkers for the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of sepsis and to provide new ideas and prospects for future clinical research.

Down-regulation of Hrd1 protects against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury by regulating PPARα to prevent oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and cellular apoptosis. Eur J Pharmacol 2023; 954:175864. [PMID: 37392829 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2023.175864] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2023] [Revised: 06/07/2023] [Accepted: 06/15/2023] [Indexed: 07/03/2023]
Abstract
The E3 ubiquitin ligase HMG-CoA reductase degradation protein 1 (Hrd1) is a key enzyme for ER-associated degradation of misfolded proteins. Its role in ischemic heart disease has not been fully elucidated. Here, we investigated its effect on oxidative status and cell survival in cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI). We found that virus-induced down-regulation of Hrd1 expression limited infarct size, decreased creatinine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and preserved cardiac function in mice subjected to left anterior descending coronary artery ligation and reperfusion. Silencing of the Hrd1 gene also prevented the ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced (i) increase in dihydroethidium (DHE) intensity, mitochondrial production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), and nitric oxide (NO), (ii) decrease in total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and glutathione (GSH), (iii) disruption of mitochondrial membrane potential, and (iv) increase in the expression of glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) and C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) in ischemic heart tissue. In addition, down-regulation of Hrd1 expression prevented the abnormally increased caspase-3/caspase-9/Bax expression and decreased Bcl-2 expression in ischemic heart tissue of I/R mice. Further analysis showed that the I/R stimulus reduced peroxisome proliferation activated receptor α (PPARα) expression in ischemic heart tissue, which was partially prevented by down-regulation of Hrd1. Pharmacological inhibition of PPARα was able to abolish the preventive effect of down-regulation of Hrd1 on oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and cellular apoptosis in ischemic heart tissue. These data suggest that down-regulation of Hrd1 protects the heart from I/R-induced damage by suppressing oxidative stress and cellular apoptosis likely through PPARα.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immunosuppression mediated by CD4+ T cell apoptosis and dysfunction is a key factor in promoting the progression of sepsis. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress participates in the apoptosis and dysfunction of immune cells. AIM We aimed to investigate the role of ER stress inhibition in CD4+ T cells in both in vitro and in vivo models of sepsis. METHODS In vitro model of sepsis was established with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and the rat model of sepsis was established using cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). After the LPS treatment or CLP, ER stress inhibitors including 4-PBA, SNJ-1945, and SP600125 were used to treat cells or rats, and the CD4+ T cells were obtained by magnetic bead sorting. The effects of ER stress inhibitors on apoptosis and the function of CD4+ T cells were evaluated. RESULTS After the LPS stimulation or CLP, the levels of ER stress and downstream markers (PERK, eIF2α, IRE-1α, ATF6, ATF4, XBP-1s, GRP78, CHOP, and p-JNK) were increased in CD4+ T cells at the beginning of sepsis. Meanwhile, the number of apoptotic CD4+ T cells markedly increased. In addition, sepsis impaired the function of CD4+ T cells, manifested by the increased population of Th1, Th2, Th17, and Treg, as well as the production of TNF-α, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-4, and IL-10. However, inhibitors of ER stress, JNK, and calpain all decreased the induction of Th1 and Th17, enhanced the increase of Th2 and Treg, decreased the production of TNF-α and IL-6, and enhanced the production of IL-4 and IL-10. CONCLUSION Our findings indicate that ER stress inhibitors may play a protective role by reducing CD4+ T cell apoptosis and maintaining CD4+ T cell function, which may be useful for enhancing the immune function and poor prognosis of patients with sepsis.

Abstract
Multiple organ failure (MOF) is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in intensive care patients, but the mechanisms causing this severe syndrome are still poorly understood. Inflammatory response, tissue hypoxia, immune and cellular metabolic dysregulations, and endothelial and microvascular dysfunction are the main features of MOF, but the exact mechanisms leading to MOF are still unclear. Recent progress in the membrane research suggests that cellular plasma membranes play an important role in key functions of diverse organs. Exploration of mechanisms contributing to plasma membrane damage and repair suggest that these processes can be the missing link in the development of MOF. Elevated levels of extracellular phospholipases, reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, pore-forming proteins (PFPs), and dysregulation of osmotic homeostasis occurring upon systemic inflammatory response are the major extracellular inducers of plasma membrane damage, which may simultaneously operate in different organs causing their profound dysfunction. Hypoxia activates similar processes, but they predominantly occur within the cells targeting intracellular membrane compartments and ultimately causing cell death. To combat the plasma membrane damage cells have developed several repair mechanisms, such as exocytosis, shedding, and protein-driven membrane remodeling. Analysis of knowledge on these mechanisms reveals that systemic damage to plasma membranes may be associated with potentially reversible MOF, which can be quickly recovered, if pathological stimuli are eliminated. Alternatively, it can be transformed in a non-resolving phase, if repair mechanisms are not sufficient to deal with a large damage or if the damage is extended to intracellular compartments essential for vital cellular functions.

Abstract
Background Abdominal surgery is an efficient treatment of intra-abdominal sepsis. Surgical trauma and peritoneal infection lead to the activation of multiple pathological pathways. The liver is particularly susceptible to injury under septic conditions. Liver function is impaired when pathological conditions induce endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. ER stress triggers the unfolded protein response (UPR), aiming at restoring ER homeostasis, or inducing cell death. In order to translate basic knowledge on ER function into the clinical setting, we aimed at dissecting the effect of surgery and peritoneal infection on the progression of ER stress/UPR and inflammatory markers in the liver in a clinically relevant experimental animal model. Methods Wistar rats underwent laparotomy followed by colon ascendens stent peritonitis (CASP) or surgery (sham) only. Liver damage (aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and De Ritis values), inflammatory and UPR markers were assessed in livers at 24, 48, 72, and 96 h postsurgery. Levels of inflammatory (IL-6, TNF-α, iNOS, and HO-1), UPR (XBP1, GRP78, CHOP), and apoptosis (BAX/Bcl-XL) mRNA were determined by qPCR. Splicing of XBP1 (XBP1s) was analyzed by gel electrophoresis, p-eIF2α and GRP78 protein levels using the western blots. Results Aspartate aminotransferase levels were elevated 24 h after surgery and thereafter declined with different kinetics in sham and CASP groups. Compared with sham De Ritis ratios were significantly higher in the CASP group, at 48 and 96 h. CASP induced an inflammatory response after 48 h, evidenced by elevated levels of IL-6, TNF-α, iNOS, and HO-1. In contrast, UPR markers XBP1s, p-eIF2α, GRP78, XBP1, and CHOP did not increase in response to infection but paralleled the kinetics of AST and De Ritis ratios. We found that inflammatory markers were predominantly associated with CASP, while UPR markers were associated with surgery. However, in the CASP group, we found a stronger correlation between XBP1s, XBP1 and GRP78 with damage markers, suggesting a synergistic influence of inflammation on UPR in our model. Conclusion Our results indicate that independent mechanisms induce ER stress/UPR and the inflammatory response in the liver. While peritoneal infection predominantly triggers inflammatory responses, the conditions associated with organ damage are predominant triggers of the hepatic UPR.

Abstract
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a fragment of the bacterial cell wall, specifically interacting with protein complexes on the cell surface, can induce the production of pro-inflammatory and apoptotic signaling molecules, leading to the damage and death of brain cells. Similar effects have been noted in stroke and traumatic brain injury, when the leading factor of death is glutamate (Glu) excitotoxicity too. But being an amphiphilic molecule with a significant hydrophobic moiety and a large hydrophilic region, LPS can also non-specifically bind to the plasma membrane, altering its properties. In the present work, we studied the effect of LPS from Escherichia coli alone and in combination with the hyperstimulation of Glu-receptors on the functional state of mitochondria and Ca2+ homeostasis, oxygen consumption and the cell survival in primary cultures from the rats brain cerebellum and cortex. In both types of cultures, LPS (0.1–10 μg/ml) did not change the intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in resting neurons but slowed down the median of the decrease in [Ca2+]i on 14% and recovery of the mitochondrial potential (ΔΨm) after Glu removal. LPS did not affect the basal oxygen consumption rate (OCR) of cortical neurons; however, it did decrease the acute OCR during Glu and LPS coapplication. Evaluation of the cell culture survival using vital dyes and the MTT assay showed that LPS (10 μg/ml) and Glu (33 μM) reduced jointly and separately the proportion of live cortical neurons, but there was no synergism or additive action. LPS-effects was dependent on the type of culture, that may be related to both the properties of neurons and the different ratio between neurons and glial cells in cultures. The rapid manifestation of these effects may be the consequence of the direct effect of LPS on the rheological properties of the cell membrane.

Abstract
The double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR) is involved in inflammatory cytokine expression and disease pathogenesis in many conditions. The aim of this study was to explore the role of PKR in sepsis-induced renal tissue injury. Six-week-old C57BL/6J mice received PKR inhibitor (imoxin) and Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) inducer (tunicamycin) 2 hr prior to induction of inflammation via cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). Renal tissues were collected 24 hr after the CLP treatment and protein expression were assessed. The expression of creatinine (Cre) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) in serum and inflammation factor in tissues was detected by ELISA, and the apoptosis of renal tissue was detected by TUNEL staining. PKR inhibitors reduce the expression of sepsis-induced ER stress in renal tissue, as well as the pathological changes and renal impairment in renal tissue. PKR inhibitors reduce the expression of sepsis-induced inflammatory response and sepsis-induced apoptosis in renal tissue by ER stress. In conclusion, PKR inhibitor alleviates ER stress and alleviates sepsis-induced renal injury.

Abstract
Significance: Sepsis is a health disaster. In sepsis, an initial, beneficial local immune response against infection evolves rapidly into a generalized, dysregulated response or a state of chaos, leading to multiple organ failure. Use of life-sustaining supportive therapies creates an unnatural condition, enabling the complex cascades of the sepsis response to develop in patients who would otherwise die. Multiple attempts to control sepsis at an early stage have been unsuccessful. Recent Advances: Major events in early sepsis include activation and binding of leukocytes and endothelial cells in the microcirculation, damage of the endothelial surface layer (ESL), and a decrease in the plasma concentration of the antioxidant enzyme, selenoprotein-P. These events induce an increase in intracellular redox potential and lymphocyte apoptosis, whereas apoptosis is delayed in monocytes and neutrophils. They also induce endothelial mitochondrial and cell damage. Critical Issues: Neutrophil production increases dramatically, and aggressive immature forms are released. Leukocyte cross talk with other leukocytes and with damaged endothelial cells amplifies the inflammatory response. The release of large quantities of reactive oxygen, halogen, and nitrogen species as a result of the leukocyte respiratory burst, endothelial mitochondrial damage, and ischemia/reperfusion processes, along with the marked decrease in selenoprotein-P concentrations, leads to peroxynitrite damage of the ESL, reducing flow and damaging the endothelial barrier. Future Directions: Endothelial barrier damage by activated leukocytes is a time-sensitive event in sepsis, occurring within hours and representing the first step toward organ failure and death. Reducing or stopping this event is necessary before irreversible damage occurs.

Abstract
Hepatocyte insulin resistance is one of the early factors of developing type II diabetes. If insulin resistance is treated early, type II diabetes could be prevented. In recent years, scientists have been conducting extensive research on the underlying issues on a cellular and molecular level. It was found that the modulation of IP3-receptors, the mitochondrial ability to form the mitochondria-associated membranes (MAMs) and the endoplasmic reticulum stress during Ca2+ signaling play a key role in hepatocyte being able to maintain euglycemia and provide metabolic flexibility. However, researchers cannot agree on what factor is the key one in resulting in insulin resistance. In this work, we propose a mathematical model of Ca2+ signaling. We included in the model all the major contributors of a proper Ca2+ signaling during both the fasting and the postprandial state. Our modeling results are in good agreement with available experimental data. The analysis of modeling results suggests that MAMs dysfunction alone cannot result in abnormal Ca2+ signaling and the wrong modulation of IP3-receptors is a more definite reason. However, both the MAMs dysfunction and the IP3 signaling dysregulation combined can lead to a robust Ca2+ signal and improper glucose release. In addition, our model results suggest a strong dependence of Ca2+ oscillations pattern on morphological characteristics of the ER and the mitochondria.

Abstract
AIMS Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory complication, which is the common cause of death in critical patients. This study aimed to evaluate the potential regulatory mechanisms of miR-150 in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-challenged HUVECs and cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced septic mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were challenged with LPS. Pulmonary arterial endothelial cells (PAECs) were isolated from CLP-induced septic mice. The mRNA and protein levels of target molecules were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blotting. Apoptosis of HUVECs was determined by Annexin V/PI staining on a flow cytometry. The interaction between miR-150 and MALAT1 was assessed by luciferase reporter assay, RIP and RNA pull-down assay. KEY FINDINGS MiR-150 was downregulated in LPS-induced HUVECs. MiR-150 mimics restrained LPS-induced inflammatory response by reducing TNF-α and IL-6 levels, but increasing IL-10 level. Moreover, miR-150 mimics downregulated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-related proteins, GRP78 and CHOP levels in LPS-exposed HUVECs. Additionally, LPS-induced apoptosis was suppressed by miR-150 mimics via decreasing cleaved caspase-3 and Bax levels, while enhancing Bcl-2 level. Mechanistically, MALAT1 could competitively bind to miR-150. LPS-induced apoptosis, ER stress and inflammation were promoted by MALAT1 overexpression, but reversed by siMALAT1. Furthermore, miR-150 inhibitor strengthened LPS-induced apoptosis, ER stress and inflammation, which could be attenuated by siMALAT1 via regulating NF-κB pathway. Finally, agomiR-150 repressed ER stress and inflammatory response in PAECs isolated from septic mice via decreasing MALAT1 level. SIGNIFICANCE Our findings suggest that miR-150 affects sepsis-induced endothelial injury by regulating ER stress and inflammation via MALAT1-mediated NF-κB pathway.

Motor Cortex and Hippocampus Display Decreased Heme Oxygenase Activity 2 Weeks After Ventricular Fibrillation Cardiac Arrest in Rats. Front Med (Lausanne) 2020; 7:513.

Abstract
Heme oxygenase (HO) and biliverdin reductase (BVR) activities are important for neuronal function and redox homeostasis. Resuscitation from cardiac arrest (CA) frequently results in neuronal injury and delayed neurodegeneration that typically affect vulnerable brain regions, primarily hippocampus (Hc) and motor cortex (mC), but occasionally also striatum and cerebellum. We questioned whether these delayed effects are associated with changes of the HO/BVR system. We therefore analyzed the activities of HO and BVR in the brain regions Hc, mC, striatum and cerebellum of rats subjected to ventricular fibrillation CA (6 min or 8 min) after 2 weeks following resuscitation, or sham operation. From all investigated regions, only Hc and mC showed significantly decreased HO activities, while BVR activity was not affected. In order to find an explanation for the changed HO activity, we analyzed protein abundance and mRNA expression levels of HO-1, the inducible, and HO-2, the constitutively expressed isoform, in the affected regions. In both regions we found a tendency for a decreased immunoreactivity of HO-2 using immunoblots and immunohistochemistry. Additionally, we investigated the histological appearance and the expression of markers indicative for activation of microglia [tumor necrosis factor receptor type I (TNFR1) mRNA and immunoreactivity for ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (Iba1])], and activation of astrocytes [immunoreactivity for glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)] in Hc and mC. Morphological changes were detected only in Hc displaying loss of neurons in the cornu ammonis 1 (CA1) region, which was most pronounced in the 8 min CA group. In this region also markers indicating inflammation and activation of pro-death pathways (expression of HO-1 and TNFR1 mRNA, as well as Iba1 and GFAP immunoreactivity) were upregulated. Since HO products are relevant for maintaining neuronal function, our data suggest that neurodegenerative processes following CA may be associated with a decreased capacity to convert heme into HO products in particularly vulnerable brain regions.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is complex and not well understood. Recently, oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress induced by hyperglycemia have been demonstrated to play a critical role in neuronal apoptosis, which then contributing to DPN. However, the specific molecular mechanism that underlies the hyperglycemia-induced neuronal stresses and apoptosis remains largely unknown. In this study, we demonstrated for the first time that Pim1 kinase is a positive modulator of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neuron survival in vitro. Hyperglycemia causes compensatory upregulation of Pim1 kinase in the DRG neurons, which provides protection against high glucose-induced oxidative stress and ER stress. Pharmacological inhibition of Pim1 not only sensitizes the stress response to high glucose in the DRG neurons, but also accelerates the apoptosis of DRG neurons in vitro. Therefore, our work provides experimental evidence for the prevention of high glucose-induced neuronal stress and apoptosis by targeting Pim1 kinase.

Abstract
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common complication of diabetes mellitus that affects approximately half of patients with diabetes. Current treatment regimens cannot treat DPN effectively. Schwann cells (SCs) are very sensitive to glucose concentration and insulin, and closely associated with the occurrence and development of type 1 diabetic mellitus (T1DM) and DPN. Apoptosis of SCs is induced by hyperglycemia and is involved in the pathogenesis of DPN. This review considers the pathological processes of SCs apoptosis under high glucose, which include the following: oxidative stress, inflammatory reactions, endoplasmic reticulum stress, autophagy, nitrification and signaling pathways (PI3K/AKT, ERK, PERK/Nrf2, and Wnt/β-catenin). The clarification of mechanisms underlying SCs apoptosis induced by high glucose will help us to understand and identify more effective strategies for the treatment of T1DM DPN.

Abstract
Sestrin2 (SESN2) is a highly evolutionary conserved protein and involved in different cellular responses to various stresses. However, the potential function of SESN2 in immune system remains unclear. The present study was designed to test whether dendritic cells (DCs) could express SESN2, and investigate the underlying molecular mechanism as well as its potential significance. Herein, we firstly reported that SESN2 was expressed in DCs after high mobility group box-1 protein (HMGB1) stimulation and the apoptosis of DCs was obviously increased when SESN2 gene silenced by siRNA. Cells undergone SESN2-knockdown promoted endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress (ERS)-related cell death, markedly exacerbated ER disruption as well as the formation of dilated and aggregated structures, and they significantly aggravated the extent of ERS response. Conversely, overexpressing SESN2 DCs markedly decreased apoptotic rates and attenuated HMGB1-induced ER morphology fragment together with inhibition of ERS-related protein translation. Furthermore, sesn2−/−-deficient mice manifested increased DC apoptosis and aggravated ERS extent in septic model. These results indicate that SESN2 appears to be a potential regulator to inhibit apoptotic ERS signaling that exerts a protective effect on apoptosis of DCs in the setting of septic challenge.

Abstract
Background It is widely accepted that mitochondria have a direct impact on neuronal function and survival. Oxidative stress caused by mitochondrial abnormalities play an important role in the pathophysiology of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced memory impairment. Elamipretide (SS-31) is a novel mitochondrion-targeted antioxidant. However, the impact of elamipretide on the cognitive sequelae of inflammatory and oxidative stress is unknown. Methods We utilized MWM and contextual fear conditioning test to assess hippocampus-related learning and memory performance. Molecular biology techniques and ELISA were used to examine mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, and the inflammatory response. TUNEL and Golgi-staining was used to detect neural cell apoptosis and the density of dendritic spines in the mouse hippocampus. Results Mice treated with LPS exhibited mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, an inflammatory response, neural cell apoptosis, and loss of dendritic spines in the hippocampus, leading to impaired hippocampus-related learning and memory performance in the MWM and contextual fear conditioning test. Treatment with elamipretide significantly ameliorated LPS-induced learning and memory impairment during behavioral tests. Notably, elamipretide not only provided protective effects against mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress but also facilitated the regulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling, including the reversal of important synaptic-signaling proteins and increased synaptic structural complexity. Conclusion These findings indicate that LPS-induced memory impairment can be attenuated by the mitochondrion-targeted antioxidant elamipretide. Consequently, elamipretide may have a therapeutic potential in preventing damage from the oxidative stress and neuroinflammation that contribute to perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND), which makes mitochondria a potential target for treatment strategies for PND.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is a critical molecular mechanism involved in the pathogenesis of sepsis. Hence, strategies for alleviating this stress may be essential for preventing cardiovascular injuries under sepsis. Adiponectin is secreted by adipocytes and its levels are decreased in sepsis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the protective effects of adiponectin treatment on endothelial cells and its mechanism. Male Wistar rats underwent cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) before being treated with adiponectin (72 and 120 μg/kg). The levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) in plasma, histological structure, and apoptosis of endothelial cells were evaluated. In vitro, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were treated with adiponectin at 10 and 20 μg/mL for 24 h after stimulation by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), ultrastructure, rate of apoptosis, the expression of inositol-requiring enzyme 1α (IRE1α) protein, and its downstream molecules (78 kDa glucose-regulated protein (GRP78), C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), and caspase-12) were detected. The results showed that the levels of MDA and ROS induced by CLP or LPS stimulation were increased. Furthermore, endothelial cell apoptosis was increased under sepsis. The IRE1α pathway was initiated, as evidenced by activated IRE1α, increased GRP78, and up-regulated CHOP and caspase-12 in HUVECs. Following treatment with adiponectin, the number of apoptotic endothelial cells was markedly decreased. These findings demonstrated that treatment with adiponectin decreased apoptosis of endothelial cells caused by sepsis by attenuating the ER stress IRE1α pathway activated by oxidative stress.

Abstract
Background Palmitic acid (PA) is the main saturated fatty acid naturally occurring in animal fats and vegetable oils. In recent decades, palm oil, an alternative lipid source containing high amounts of PA, has been widely used to replace fish oil in aquafeed. Objective We investigated the hepatotoxicity of PA in zebrafish and the underlying mechanism. Methods One-month-old zebrafish fed a high-fat diet (HFD) containing 16% soybean oil and 3 PA-incorporated HFDs [4%, 8%, and 12% PA (12PA)] for 2 wk (experiment 1) and 4 wk (experiment 2) were used to evaluate PA-induced liver damage and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Germ-free (GF) zebrafish fed low-fat, high-fat, or 12PA diets for 5 d were used to study the direct effects of PA on liver damage (experiment 3). GF zebrafish colonized with HFD or 12PA microbiota for 48 h were used to elucidate the indirect effects of PA-altered microbiota on liver damage (experiment 4). Last, GF zebrafish colonized with HFD or 12PA microbiota were used to evaluate the effects of different microbiotas on PA absorption (experiment 5). Results In experiment 1, the proportion of PA in the liver linearly increased as its percentage in dietary lipid increased (r2 = 0.83, P < 0.05). In experiment 2, the expression of glucose-regulated protein 78 (Grp78) and C/EBP-homologous protein (Chop) was higher in the 12PA group than in the HFD group (2.2- and 2.7-fold, respectively; P < 0.05). The activity of caspase-12 was increased by 61.1% in the 12PA group compared with the HFD group (P < 0.05). In experiment 3, caspase-12 activity was higher in the 12PA group than in the HFD group (P < 0.05). In experiment 4, GF zebrafish colonized with PA-altered microbiota had higher caspase-12 activity (P < 0.05) than those colonized by HFD microbiota. In experiment 5, PA-altered microbiota promoted PA absorption (P < 0.05) and aggravated ER stress and liver damage in the context of high-PA feeding. Conclusions The PA-altered microbiota indirectly induced ER stress and liver damage in zebrafish. Moreover, the PA microbiota promoted the absorption of PA, leading to enhanced PA overflow into the liver and aggravated hepatotoxicity of PA in zebrafish.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the oldest infectious diseases that affected humankind and remains one of the world's deadliest communicable diseases that could be considered as global emergency, but the discovery and development of isoniazid (INH) in the 1950s paved the way to an effective single and/or combined first-line anti-TB therapy. However, administration of INH induces severe hepatic toxicity in some patients. Previously, we establish a rat model of INH hepatotoxicity utilizing the inflammatory stress theory, in which bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) potentially enhanced INH toxicity. These enhancing activities ranged between augmenting the inflammatory stress, oxidative stress, alteration of bile acid homeostasis, and CYP2E1 over-expression. Although pre-treatment with dexamethasone (DEX) helped overcome both inflammatory and oxidative stress which ended-up in alleviation of LPS augmenting effects, but still minor toxicities were being detected, alongside with CYP2E1 over expression. This finding positively indicated the corner-stone role played by CYP2E1 in the pathogenesis of INH/LPS-induced liver damage. Therefore, we examined whether INH/LPS co-treatment with CYP2E1 inhibitor diallyl sulfide (DAS) and DEX can protect against the INH/LPS-induced hepatotoxicity. Our results showed that pre-administration of both DAS and DEX caused significant reduction in serum TBA, TBil, and gamma-glutamyl transferase levels. Furthermore, the histopathological analysis showed that DAS and DEX could effectively reverse the liver lesions seen following INH/LPS treatment and protect against hepatic steatosis as indicated by absence of lipid accumulation. Pre-treatment with DAS alone could not completely block the CYP2E1 protein expression following INH/LPS treatment, as appeared in the immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry results. This is probably due to the fact that the combined enhancement activities of both INH and LPS on CYP2E1 protein expression levels might resist the blocking probabilities of DAS. In the meantime, addition of DEX to the DAS/INH/LPS combination caused a significant reduction in CYP2E1 protein expression as revealed by the immunoblotting and fading coloration in immunohistochemistry results. Thus, addition of DEX and DAS together caused strong protection against INH/LPS-induced hepatic damage. These findings reveal the potential therapeutic value of combining DAS and DEX with INH in TB management for reducing the potential risk and incidences of hepatotoxicity.

Saturated fatty acids, such as palmitate, are elevated in metabolically dysfunctional conditions like type 2 diabetes mellitus. Palmitate has been shown to impair insulin sensitivity and suppress protein synthesis while upregulating proteolytic systems in skeletal muscle. Increased sarco/endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and subsequent activation of the unfolded protein response may contribute to the palmitate-induced impairment of muscle protein synthesis. In some cell types, ER stress occurs through activation of the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). Given the link between ER stress and suppression of protein synthesis, we investigated whether palmitate induces markers of ER stress and protein synthesis by activating TLR4 in cultured mouse C2C12 myotubes. Myotubes were treated with vehicle, a TLR4-specific ligand (lipopolysaccharides), palmitate, or a combination of palmitate plus a TLR4-specific inhibitor (TAK-242). Inflammatory indicators of TLR4 activation (IL-6 and TNFα) and markers of ER stress were measured, and protein synthesis was assessed using puromycin incorporation. Palmitate substantially increased the levels of IL-6, TNF-α, CHOP, XBP1s, and ATF 4 mRNAs and augmented the levels of CHOP, XBP1s, phospho-PERK and phospho-eIF2α proteins. The TLR4 antagonist attenuated both acute palmitate and LPS-induced increases in IL-6 and TNFα, but did not reduce ER stress signaling with either 6 h or 24 h palmitate treatment. Similarly, treating myotubes with palmitate for 6 h caused a 43% decline in protein synthesis consistent with an increase in phospho-eIF2α, and the TLR4 antagonist did not alter these responses. These results suggest that palmitate does not induce ER stress through TLR4 in muscle, and that palmitate impairs protein synthesis in skeletal muscle in part by induction of ER stress.

Abstract
The outcome of patients with critical care diseases (CCD) such as sepsis, hemorrhagic shock, or trauma is often associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. In turn, mitochondrial dysfunction is frequently induced upon interaction with nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO), two gaseous messengers formed in the body by NO synthase (NOS) and heme oxygenase (HO), respectively. Both, NOS and HO are upregulated in the majority of CCD. A multitude of factors that are associated with the pathology of CCD exert a potential to interfere with mitochondrial function or the effects of the gaseous messengers. From these, four major factors can be identified that directly influence the effects of NO and CO on mitochondria and which are defined by (i) local concentration of NO and/or CO, (ii) tissue oxygenation, (iii) redox status of cells in terms of facilitating or inhibiting reactive oxygen species formation, and (iv) the degree of tissue acidosis. The combination of these four factors in specific pathological situations defines whether effects of NO and CO are beneficial or deleterious.

Abstract
Liver failure induced by systemic inflammatory response (SIRS) is often associated with mitochondrial dysfunction but the mechanism linking SIRS and mitochondria-mediated liver failure is still a matter of discussion. Current hypotheses suggest that causative events could be a drop in ATP synthesis, opening of mitochondrial permeability transition pore, specific changes in mitochondrial morphology, impaired Ca2+ uptake, generation of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS), turnover of mitochondria and imbalance in electron supply to the respiratory chain. The aim of this review is to critically analyze existing hypotheses, in order to highlight the most promising research lines helping to prevent liver failure induced by SIRS. Evaluation of the literature shows that there is no consistent support that impaired Ca++ metabolism, electron transport chain function and ultrastructure of mitochondria substantially contribute to liver failure. Moreover, our analysis suggests that the drop in ATP levels has protective rather than a deleterious character. Recent data suggest that the most critical mitochondrial event occurring upon SIRS is the release of mtROS in cytoplasm, which can activate two specific intracellular signaling cascades. The first is the mtROS-mediated activation of NADPH-oxidase in liver macrophages and endothelial cells; the second is the acceleration of the expression of inflammatory genes in hepatocytes. The signaling action of mtROS is strictly controlled in mitochondria at three points, (i) at the site of ROS generation at complex I, (ii) the site of mtROS release in cytoplasm via permeability transition pore, and (iii) interaction with specific kinases in cytoplasm. The systems controlling mtROS-signaling include pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators, nitric oxide, Ca2+ and NADPH-oxidase. Analysis of the literature suggests that further research should be focused on the impact of mtROS on organ failure induced by inflammation and simultaneously providing a new theoretical basis for a targeted therapy of overwhelmed inflammatory response. Relationship between mitochondrial dysfunction and high lethality upon sepsis. Criteria to define critical for lethality mitochondrial dysfunction.

Abstract
Prolonged hyperglycemia-induced oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress have been demonstrated to play a key role in progression of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). PERK/ Nrf2 pathway plays a predominant role in oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress which is associated with cell survival. This study examined the modulation of the PERK/Nrf2 pathway and apoptosis by a traditional Chinese medicine Tangluoning (TLN) in streptozotocin-induced DPN rat models and the effects of serum TLN on the PERK/Nrf2 pathway, apoptosis, intracellular reactive oxygen species and mitochondrial membrane potential in Schwann cells cultured in 150 mM glucose. It is found that TLN attenuated oxidative and ER stress and apoptosis through the PERK/Nrf2 pathway by upregulating p-PERK, Nrf2/ARE pathways and downregulating the CHOP-related apoptosis pathways in the experimental DPN models both in vivo and in vitro.

Abstract
Patients with critical illness-induced multiple organ failure suffer from a very high morbidity and mortality, despite major progress in intensive care. The pathogenesis of this condition is complex and incompletely understood. Inadequate tissue perfusion and an overwhelming inflammatory response with pronounced cellular damage have been suggested to play an important role, but interventions targeting these disturbances largely failed to improve patient outcome. Hence, new therapeutic perspectives are urgently needed. Cellular dysfunction, hallmarked by mitochondrial dysfunction and endoplasmic reticulum stress, is increasingly recognized as an important contributor to the development of organ failure in critical illness. Several cellular defense mechanisms are normally activated when the cell is in distress, but may fail or respond insufficiently to critical illness. This insight may open new therapeutic options by stimulating these cellular defense mechanisms. This review summarizes the current understanding of the role of mitochondrial dysfunction and endoplasmic reticulum stress in critical illness-induced multiple organ failure and gives an overview of the corresponding cellular defense mechanisms. Therapeutic perspectives based on these cellular defense mechanisms are discussed. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Immune and Metabolic Alterations in Trauma and Sepsis edited by Dr. Raghavan Raju.

Abstract
Low serum selenium or selenoprotein P (SePP) levels have been repetitively observed in severe sepsis. The role of SePP in sepsis is incompletely characterized. To test the hypothesis that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) interacts with SePP, we investigated the interaction between LPS and the histidine-rich (His-rich) regions of SePP. We demonstrate that both purified SePP and synthetic peptides corresponding to the His-rich motifs neutralized LPS. In addition, we used a hepatocyte model to study the fate of SePP in response to LPS or endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Our findings indicate that ER stress increases the cellular level of SePP and promotes its nuclear localization.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome due to its association with increased risk of cardiovascular diseases and cardiac mortality, comprises a cluster of metabolic abnormalities such as central obesity, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. Recent studies have shown that metabolic syndrome patients exhibit impaired nitric oxide-mediated vasodilatation leading to endothelial dysfunction in addition to insulin resistance. Interestingly, development and maintenance of the unfolded protein response of the endoplasmic reticulum stress revealed a surprisingly direct link with metabolic syndrome and endothelial dysfunction. On the other hand, in metabolic disorders, interaction between endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria is mandatory for the generation of mitochondrial oxidative stress and perturbation of mitochondrial function accounting, at least in part, for vascular dysfunction. Herein, we review the impact of the dialogue between endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria in modulating the cellular signals governing vascular alterations associated to metabolic disorders.

Abstract
Most previous studies on the effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in pigs focused on the body's immune response, and few reports paid attention to body metabolism changes. To better understand the glucose metabolism changes in skeletal muscle following LPS challenge and to clarify the possible mechanism, 12 growing pigs were employed. Animals were treated with either 2 ml of saline or 15 µg/kg BW LPS, and samples were collected 6 h later. The glycolysis status and mitochondrial function in the longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle of pigs were analyzed. The results showed that serum lactate content and NADH content in LD muscle significantly increased compared with the control group. Most glycolysis-related genes expression, as well as hexokinase, pyruvate kinase and lactic dehydrogenase activity, in LD muscle was significantly higher compared with the control group. Mitochondrial complexes I and IV significantly increased, while mitochondrial ATP concentration markedly decreased. Significantly increased calcium content in the mitochondria was observed, and endoplasm reticulum (ER) stress has been demonstrated in the present study. The results showed that LPS treatment markedly changes glucose metabolism and mitochondrial function in the LD muscle of pigs, and increased calcium content induced by ER stress was possibly involved. The results provide new clues for clarifying metabolic diseases in muscle induced by LPS.

Abstract
Fat accumulation (hepatic steatosis) in alcoholic and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is a potentially pathologic condition which can progress to steatohepatitis (inflammation), fibrosis, cirrhosis, and carcinogenesis. Many clinically used drugs or some alternative medicine compounds are also known to cause drug-induced liver injury, which can further lead to fulminant liver failure and acute deaths in extreme cases. During liver disease process, certain cytochromes P450 such as the ethanol-inducible cytochrome P450-2E1 (CYP2E1) and CYP4A isozymes can be induced and/or activated by alcohol and/or high-fat diets and pathophysiological conditions such as fasting, obesity, and diabetes. Activation of these P450 isozymes, involved in the metabolism of ethanol, fatty acids, and various drugs, can produce reactive oxygen/nitrogen species directly and/or indirectly, contributing to oxidative modifications of DNA/RNA, proteins and lipids. In addition, aldehyde dehydrogenases including the mitochondrial low Km aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 (ALDH2), responsible for the metabolism of acetaldehyde and lipid aldehydes, can be inactivated by various hepatotoxic agents. These highly reactive acetaldehyde and lipid peroxides, accumulated due to ALDH2 suppression, can interact with cellular macromolecules DNA/RNA, lipids, and proteins, leading to suppression of their normal function, contributing to DNA mutations, endoplasmic reticulum stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, steatosis, and cell death. In this chapter, we specifically review the roles of the alcohol-metabolizing enzymes including the alcohol dehydrogenase, ALDH2, CYP2E1, and other enzymes in promoting liver disease. We also discuss translational research opportunities with natural and/or synthetic antioxidants, which can prevent or delay the onset of inflammation and liver disease.

Abstract
Mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) regulate numerous cellular processes, and are critical contributors to cellular and whole-body homoeostasis. More important, mitochondrial dysfunction and ER stress are both closely associated with hepatic and skeletal muscle insulin resistance, thereby playing crucial roles in altered glucose homoeostasis in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The accumulated evidence also suggests a potential interrelationship between alterations in both types of organelles, as mitochondrial dysfunction could participate in activation of the unfolded protein response, whereas ER stress could influence mitochondrial function. The fact that mitochondria and the ER are physically and functionally interconnected via mitochondria-associated membranes (MAMs) supports their interrelated roles in the pathophysiology of T2DM. However, the mechanisms that coordinate the interplay between mitochondrial dysfunction and ER stress, and its relevance to the control of glucose homoeostasis, are still unknown. This review evaluates the involvement of mitochondria and ER independently in the development of peripheral insulin resistance, as well as their potential roles in the disruption of organelle crosstalk at MAM interfaces in the alteration of insulin signalling.

Abstract
AIMS Increasing evidences suggest that, apart from activation of guanylyl cyclase, intracellular nitric oxide (NO) signaling is associated with an interaction between NO and reactive oxygen species (ROS) to modulate physiological or pathophysiological processes. The aim of this study was to understand the contribution of mitochondrial ROS (mtROS) to NO-mediated signaling in hepatocytes on inflammation. RESULTS In rats treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), mitochondria-targeted antioxidants (mtAOX) (mitoTEMPO and SkQ1) reduced inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) gene expression in liver, NO levels in blood and plasma, and markers of organ damage (lactate dehydrogenase, aspartate aminotransferase, and alanine aminotransferase). In cultured hepatocytes, treated with inflammatory mediators, generated ex vivo by incubation of white blood cells with LPS, we observed an increase in NO and mtROS levels. l-NG-monomethyl arginine citrate, a NOS inhibitor, decreased both NO and mtROS levels. mtAOX reduced mtROS, cytoplasmic ROS levels, and expression of iNOS and interleukin (IL)-6. These data suggest that NO, generated by iNOS, elevates mtROS, which, in turn, diffuse into the cytoplasm and upregulate iNOS and IL-6. INNOVATION Here, for the first time, we show that intracellular signaling pathways mediated by NO and ROS are linked to each other via mtROS and form an iNOS-mtROS feed-forward loop which aggravates liver failure on acute inflammation. CONCLUSION Our results provide a mechanistic explanation of how NO and mtROS cooperate to conduct inflammatory intracellular signals. We anticipate our results to be the missing mechanistic link between acute systemic inflammation and liver failure.

Abstract
Sepsis represents the host's systemic inflammatory response to a severe infection. It causes substantial human morbidity resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths each year. Despite decades of intense research, the basic mechanisms still remain elusive. In either experimental animal models of sepsis or human patients, there are substantial physiological changes, many of which may result in subsequent organ injury. Variations in age, gender, and medical comorbidities including diabetes and renal failure create additional complexity that influence the outcomes in septic patients. Specific system-based alterations, such as the coagulopathy observed in sepsis, offer both potential insight and possible therapeutic targets. Intracellular stress induces changes in the endoplasmic reticulum yielding misfolded proteins that contribute to the underlying pathophysiological changes. With these multiple changes it is difficult to precisely classify an individual's response in sepsis as proinflammatory or immunosuppressed. This heterogeneity also may explain why most therapeutic interventions have not improved survival. Given the complexity of sepsis, biomarkers and mathematical models offer potential guidance once they have been carefully validated. This review discusses each of these important factors to provide a framework for understanding the complex and current challenges of managing the septic patient. Clinical trial failures and the therapeutic interventions that have proven successful are also discussed.

Abstract
Inflammation can be either beneficial or detrimental to the liver, depending on multiple factors. Mild (i.e., limited in intensity and destined to resolve) inflammatory responses have indeed been shown to exert consistent hepatoprotective effects, contributing to tissue repair and promoting the re-establishment of homeostasis. Conversely, excessive (i.e., disproportionate in intensity and permanent) inflammation may induce a massive loss of hepatocytes and hence exacerbate the severity of various hepatic conditions, including ischemia-reperfusion injury, systemic metabolic alterations (e.g., obesity, diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disorders), alcoholic hepatitis, intoxication by xenobiotics and infection, de facto being associated with irreversible liver damage, fibrosis, and carcinogenesis. Both liver-resident cells (e.g., Kupffer cells, hepatic stellate cells, sinusoidal endothelial cells) and cells that are recruited in response to injury (e.g., monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, natural killer cells) emit pro-inflammatory signals including - but not limited to - cytokines, chemokines, lipid messengers, and reactive oxygen species that contribute to the apoptotic or necrotic demise of hepatocytes. In turn, dying hepatocytes release damage-associated molecular patterns that-upon binding to evolutionary conserved pattern recognition receptors-activate cells of the innate immune system to further stimulate inflammatory responses, hence establishing a highly hepatotoxic feedforward cycle of inflammation and cell death. In this review, we discuss the cellular and molecular mechanisms that account for the most deleterious effect of hepatic inflammation at the cellular level, that is, the initiation of a massive cell death response among hepatocytes.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is implicated in the development of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER stress) observed after a high-fat diet (HFD) in liver, skeletal muscle and adipose tissue. TLR4−/− and C57BL/6J wild-type mice (WT) were fed with chow or HFD (45% calories from fat) during 18 weeks. An oral glucose tolerance-test was performed. The animals were sacrificed in a fasted state and the tissues were removed. TLR4 deletion protected from body weight gain and glucose intolerance induced by HFD whereas energy intake was higher in transgenic mice suggesting larger energy expenditure. HFD induced an ER stress in skeletal muscle, liver and adipose tissue of WT mice as assessed by BiP, CHOP, spliced and unspliced XBP1 and phospho-eIF2α. TLR4−/− mice were protected against HFD-induced ER stress. Then, we investigated the main signaling downstream of TLR4 namely the NF-κB pathway, expecting to identify the mechanism by which TLR4 is able to activate ER stress. The mRNA levels of cytokines regulated by NF-κB namely TNFα, IL-1β and IL-6, were not changed after HFD and phospho-IκB-α (ser 32) was not changed. Our results indicate that TLR4 is essential for the development of ER stress related to HFD. Nevertheless, the NFκ-B pathway does not seem to be directly implicated. The reduced fat storage in TLR4−/− mice could explain the absence of an ER stress after HFD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relevance of mitochondrial dysfunction as to pathogenesis of multiple organ dysfunction and failure in sepsis is controversial. This focused review evaluates the evidence for impaired mitochondrial function in sepsis. DESIGN Review of original studies in experimental sepsis animal models and clinical studies on mitochondrial function in sepsis. In vitro studies solely on cells and tissues were excluded. PubMed was searched for articles published between 1964 and July 2012. RESULTS Data from animal experiments (rodents and pigs) and from clinical studies of septic critically ill patients and human volunteers were included. A clear pattern of sepsis-related changes in mitochondrial function is missing in all species. The wide range of sepsis models, length of experiments, presence or absence of fluid resuscitation and methods to measure mitochondrial function may contribute to the contradictory findings. A consistent finding was the high variability of mitochondrial function also in control conditions and between organs. CONCLUSION Mitochondrial function in sepsis is highly variable, organ specific and changes over the course of sepsis. Patients who will die from sepsis may be more affected than survivors. Nevertheless, the current data from mostly young and otherwise healthy animals does not support the view that mitochondrial dysfunction is the general denominator for multiple organ failure in severe sepsis and septic shock. Whether this is true if underlying comorbidities are present, especially in older patients, should be addressed in further studies.

Abstract
AIMS Accumulating evidence indicates that oxidative stress is associated with inflammation, and the cellular redox status can determine the sensitivity and the final outcome in response to inflammatory stimuli. To control the redox balance, mammalian cells contain a variety of oxidoreductases belonging to the thioredoxin superfamily. The large number of these enzymes suggests a complex mechanism of redox regulation in mammals, but the precise function of each family member awaits further investigations. RESULTS We generated mice deficient in transmembrane thioredoxin-related protein (TMX), a transmembrane oxidoreductase in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). When exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and d-(+)-galactosamine (GalN) to induce inflammatory liver injury, mutant mice were highly susceptible to the toxicants and developed severe liver damage. LPS-induced production of inflammatory mediators was equivalent in both wild-type and TMX(-/-) mice, whereas neutralization of the proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-α suppressed the toxic effects of LPS/GalN in the mutant mice. Liver transcriptional profiles revealed enhanced activation of the p53-signaling pathway in the TMX(-/-) mice after LPS/GalN treatment. Furthermore, TMX deficiency also caused increased sensitivity to thioacetamide, which exerts its hepatotoxicity through the generation of reactive oxygen species. INNOVATION The present study is the first to address the role of the oxidoreductase TMX in inflammatory liver injury. The phenotype of mice deficient in TMX suggests a functional link between redox regulation in the ER and susceptibility to oxidative tissue damage. CONCLUSION We conclude that TMX plays a major role in host defense under the type of inflammatory conditions associated with oxidative stress.

Abstract
In the present study, we examined whether unfolded protein response (UPR) determined the hepatic cell damage induced by an innate immune response including TLR signaling pathways. We observed that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) transcriptionally downregulates 78-kDa glucose-regulated protein/immunoglobulin heavy-chain binding protein (GRP78/Bip), known to confer resistance to apoptosis. We also observed that LPS blocked the induction of UPR and led to poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) cleavage in hepatocytes. We also demonstrated that overexpression of GRP78 rescued HepG2 cells treated with LPS from PARP cleavage. These data suggest that UPR downregulation could be a collateral effect of the LPS treatment. We speculate that UPR is an important factor of hepatic cell damage induced by an innate immune response.

Increased nitroxidative stress promotes mitochondrial dysfunction in alcoholic and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2013; 2013:781050. [PMID: 23691267 PMCID: PMC3649774 DOI: 10.1155/2013/781050] [Citation(s) in RCA: 45] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2013] [Accepted: 02/27/2013] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Increased nitroxidative stress causes mitochondrial dysfunctions through oxidative modifications of mitochondrial DNA, lipids, and proteins. Persistent mitochondrial dysfunction sensitizes the target cells/organs to other pathological risk factors and thus ultimately contributes to the development of more severe disease states in alcoholic and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. The incidences of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease continuously increase due to high prevalence of metabolic syndrome including hyperlipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes. Many mitochondrial proteins including the enzymes involved in fat oxidation and energy supply could be oxidatively modified (including S-nitrosylation/nitration) under increased nitroxidative stress and thus inactivated, leading to increased fat accumulation and ATP depletion. To demonstrate the underlying mechanism(s) of mitochondrial dysfunction, we employed a redox proteomics approach using biotin-N-maleimide (biotin-NM) as a sensitive biotin-switch probe to identify oxidized Cys residues of mitochondrial proteins in the experimental models of alcoholic and acute liver disease. The aims of this paper are to briefly describe the mechanisms, functional consequences, and detection methods of mitochondrial dysfunction. We also describe advantages and limitations of the Cys-targeted redox proteomics method with alternative approaches. Finally, we discuss various applications of this method in studying oxidatively modified mitochondrial proteins in extrahepatic tissues or different subcellular organelles and translational research.

Abstract
It is well known that systemic inflammatory response (SIR) often causes liver dysfunction. The aim of this study was to identify the intracellular compartment in the liver most susceptible to SIR. We analyzed morphology, ultrastructure, proteome, and expression of relevant genes in livers of rats subjected to endotoxic shock. Histological examination revealed that focal necrosis in liver was insignificant to explain liver dysfunction. Electron microscopy revealed no morphological changes in the mitochondrial structure and in the cytosol, but dilated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) cisterns were frequently observed. Apoptosis was found in white blood cells within liver tissue but not in hepatocytes. Mitochondrial, ER, and cytosolic fractions were subjected to proteome analysis by difference gel electrophoresis, and the protein spots with the highest degree of differential regulation were identified with mass spectrometry. The most pronounced proteome changes appeared in the ER, manifested as a remarkable downregulation of several proteins essential for ER functions, such as protein synthesis and transport, whereas the changes in mitochondrial and cytosolic fractions suggested a compensatory response. ER stress, as an underlying mechanism for ER impairment, was confirmed by analysis of upstream (splicing X-box-binding protein 1 mRNA) and downstream (e.g., 78-kDa glucose-regulated protein mRNA) markers, suggesting ongoing unresolved ER stress as a cause for ER dilation. Because ER is the intracellular compartment responsible for the major liver functions, our data suggest that inflammatory mediators induce unresolved ER stress, resulting in the biochemical, functional, and morphological impairment of ER that in turn causes liver dysfunction. The pathway activating ER stress in response to SIR is not known yet.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is linked to several pathological conditions including age-related macular degeneration. Excessive ER stress initiates cell death cascades which are mediated, in part, through mitochondrial dysfunction. Here, we identify αB crystallin as an important regulator of ER stress-induced cell death. Retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells from αB crystallin (-/-) mice, and human RPE cells transfected with αB crystallin siRNA, are more vulnerable to ER stress induced by tunicamycin. ER stress-mediated cell death is associated with increased levels of reactive oxygen species, depletion of glutathione in mitochondria, decreased superoxide dismutase activity, increased release of cytochrome c, and activation of caspases 3 and 4. The ER stress signaling inhibitors, salubrinal and 4-(2-aminoethyl) benzenesulfonyl fluoride, decrease mitochondrial damage and reduce RPE apoptosis induced by ER stress. Prolonged ER stress decreases levels of αB crystallin, thus exacerbating mitochondrial dysfunction. Overexpression of αB crystallin protects RPE cells from ER stress-induced apoptosis by attenuating increases in Bax, CHOP, mitochondrial permeability transition, and cleaved caspase 3. Thus, these data collectively demonstrate that αB crystallin provides critical protection of mitochondrial function during ER stress-induced RPE apoptosis.

Abstract
Two-dimensional electrophoresis (2 DE) is one of the most important proteomic tools and allows studying the complexity of proteomes of different origin. This chapter describes a setup for 2D DIGE with minimal labeling for qualitative and quantitative applications. It relies on homemade gels of medium size and in our hands has been found useful for a wide variety of separation problems involving complex protein mixtures of animal or human origin. The basic method is given for serum proteins of different species, but with minor modifications the method may be easily adapted to other sample materials (other body fluids, cells, tissues), conditions, or size. Examples are given for simple pattern comparisons (e.g., quality control, fast comparison of just two samples) as well as for quantitative applications to larger sample sets.

Abstract
Sepsis and septic shock are frequently encountered in the intensive care unit. Despite the evolution of intensive care medicine during the last decades, septic shock is still associated with high mortality and complications of sepsis such as cholestasis, liver dysfunction, and massive intravascular volume deficit. Little is known about the whole pattern of changes at the transcriptional level during the development of acute sepsis. Here we present a detailed molecular biological analysis of the events in the liver during the first day of acute bacterial infection in a clinically relevant model of porcine peritoneal sepsis. Before and 21 h after induction of sepsis by autologous fecal inoculum, liver samples were taken for microarray analysis. There were two groups of animals (7 control and 8 sepsis), two of each group where used in microarray, the remaining were used for confirmation of selected genes by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Pathway analysis revealed that in acute sepsis, gene expression was significantly changed in processes related to apoptosis, inflammation, and oxidant/redox balance. Although after 21 h these animals are expected to die within the next 3 to 4 h from massive complications, functional induction of apoptosis could not be confirmed. Computer analysis identified three key regulator genes (IL8, CCL2, and CXCL2) among the first genes to be upregulated specifically in the sepsis group, and these can directly or indirectly control the bulk of the sepsis response. Induction of inflammatory mediators by sepsis was supported by the detection of corresponding cytokines (interleukin 6 and interleukin 8) in the blood.

Reperfusion does not induce oxidative stress but sustained endoplasmic reticulum stress in livers of rats subjected to traumatic-hemorrhagic shock. Shock 2010; 33:289-98.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is believed to accompany reperfusion and to mediate dysfunction of the liver after traumatic-hemorrhagic shock (THS). Recently, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress has been suggested as an additional factor. This study investigated whether reperfusion after THS leads to increased oxidative and/or ER stress in the liver. In a rat model, including laparotomy, bleeding until decompensation, followed by inadequate or adequate reperfusion phase, three time points were investigated: 40 min, 3 h, and 18 h after shock. The reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and its scavenging capacity (superoxide dismutase 2), the nitrotyrosine formation in proteins, and the lipid peroxidation together with the status of endogenous antioxidants (alpha-tocopherylquinone-alpha-tocopherol ratio) were investigated as markers for oxidative or nitrosylative stress. Mitochondrial function and cytochrome P450 isoform 1A1 activity were analyzed as representatives for hepatocyte function. Activation of the inositol-requiring enzyme 1/X-box binding protein pathway and up-regulation of the 78-kDa glucose-regulated protein were recorded as ER stress markers. Plasma levels of alanine aminotransferase and Bax/Bcl-XL messenger RNA (mRNA) ratio were used as indicators for hepatocyte damage and apoptosis induction. Oxidative or nitrosylative stress markers or representatives of hepatocyte function were unchanged during and short after reperfusion (40 min, 3 h after shock). In contrast, ER stress markers were elevated and paralleled those of hepatocyte damage. Incidence for sustained ER stress and subsequent apoptosis induction were found at 18 h after shock. Thus, THS or reperfusion induces early and persistent ER stress of the liver, independent of oxidative or nitrosylative stress. Although ER stress was not associated with depressed hepatocyte function, it may act as an early trigger of protracted cell death, thereby contributing to delayed organ failure after THS.
