Abstract
Purpose To evaluate troponin I, creatine kinase isoenzyme, and the new Japanese Severity Score(JSS) for predicting Severe Acute Pancreatitis-Associated myocardial Injury(SACI). Patients and Methods This retrospective study included 136 patients with Severe Acute Pancreatitis, hospitalized in grade-III hospital from June 1, 2015, to October 31, 2022; selected using convenience sampling method and divided into SACI occurrence (n =34) and SACI non-occurrence (n =102) groups. New JSS evaluated predictive value of each SACI index. Binary logistic regression model compared risk factors and constructed a prediction model. Area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test evaluated model's prediction efficiency and calibration ability. Results The incidence of SACI was 25%. Univariate analysis found that troponin I and creatine kinase isoenzyme were significantly different (P < 0.05) and independent risk factors for SACI. The new JSS, troponin I, and creatine kinase isoenzyme were included in the prediction model. The prediction model had a good calibration ability, and its predicted value and the actual observed value were not significantly different (Hosmer-Lemeshow χ2 = 5.408, P = 0.368). AUC of the model was 0.803 (95% CI: 0.689-0.918), and the optimal threshold of the prediction model was 0.318 with the maximum Youden index (0.488). The AUC for internal validation was 0.788 (95% CI: 0.657-0.876), and external validation was 0.761 (95% CI: 0.622-0.832). Conclusion Troponin I and creatine kinase isoenzymes combined with the new JSS have a high predictive value for SACI, improving the early prediction and treatment of at-risk patients.

Abstract
Acute pancreatitis is a complex inflammatory disease resulting in extreme pain and can result in significant morbidity and mortality. It can be caused by several factors ranging from genetics, alcohol use, gall stones, and ductal obstruction caused by calcification or neutrophil extracellular traps. Acute pancreatitis is also characterized by immune cell infiltration of neutrophils and M1 macrophages. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is a pattern recognition receptor that has been noted to respond to endogenous ligands such as high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) protein and or exogenous ligands such as lipopolysaccharide both of which can be present during the progression of acute pancreatitis. This receptor can be found on a variety of cell types from endothelial cells to resident and infiltrating immune cells leading to production of pro-inflammatory cytokines as well as immune cell activation and maturation resulting in the furthering of pancreatic damage during acute pancreatitis. In this review we will address the various mechanisms mediated by TLR4 in the advancement of acute pancreatitis and how targeting this receptor could lead to improved outcomes for patients suffering from this condition.

Abstract
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a non-infectious pancreatic enzyme-induced disorder, a life-threatening inflammatory condition that can cause multi-organ dysfunction, characterized by high morbidity and mortality. Several therapies have been employed to target this disorder; however, few happen to be effectively employable even in the early phase. PFKFB3(6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-biphosphatase-3) is a critical regulator of glycolysis and is upregulated under inflammatory, mitogenic, and hypoxia conditions. Essential information on the targeting of the inflammatory pathway will present the termination of the disorder and recovery. Herein we investigated the protective function of KAN0438757, a potent inhibitor of PFKFB3, and its mechanism of impeding AP induced in mice. KAN0438757 was confirmed to activate the Nrf2/HO-1 inflammatory signaling pathways in response to caerulein induced acute pancreatitis (CAE-AP) and fatty acid ethyl ester induced severe acute pancreatitis (FAEE-SAP). Additionally, KAN0438757 alleviated the inflammatory process in infiltrated macrophage via the Nrf2/HO-1 inflammatory signaling pathway and demonstrated a significant effect on the growth of mice with induced AP. And more importantly, KAN0438757 displayed negligible toxicity in vivo. Taken together our data suggest KAN0438757 directly suppresses the inflammatory role of PFKFB3 and induces a protective role via the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway, which could prove as an excellent therapeutic platform for SAP amelioration.

Abstract
Background: Hepatic ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury is a major complication leading to surgical failures in liver resection, transplantation, and hemorrhagic shock. The role of cytokine macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in hepatic I/R injury is unclear. Methods: We examined changes of MIF expression in mice after hepatic I/R surgery and hepatocytes challenged with hypoxia–reoxygenation (H/R) insult. Subsequently, MIF global knock-out mice and mice with adeno-associated-virus (AAV)-delivered MIF overexpression were subjected to hepatic I/R injury. Hepatic histology, the inflammatory response, apoptosis and oxidative stress were monitored to assess liver damage. The molecular mechanisms of MIF function were explored in vivo and in vitro. Results: MIF was significantly upregulated in the serum whereas decreased in liver tissues of mice after hepatic I/R injury. MIF knock-out effectively attenuated I/R -induced liver inflammation, apoptosis and oxidative stress in vivo and in vitro, whereas MIF overexpression significantly aggravated liver injury. Via RNA-seq analysis, we found a significant decreased trend of MAPK pathway in MIF knock-out mice subjected hepatic I/R surgery. Using the apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) inhibitor NQDI-1 we determined that, mechanistically, the protective effect of MIF deficiency on hepatic I/R injury was dependent on the suppressing of the ASK1-JNK/P38 signaling pathway. Moreover, we found MIF inhibitor ISO-1 alleviate hepatic I/R injury in mice. Conclusion: Our results confirm that MIF deficiency suppresses the ASK1-JNK/P38 pathway and protects the liver from I/R -induced injury. Our findings suggest MIF as a novel biomarker and therapeutic target for the diagnosis and treatment of hepatic I/R injury.

Abstract
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a severe inflammatory disorder hampered by a lack of effective drugs in its clinical practice. Empagliflozin (EMP) exhibits potential effects against AP but is limited by poor water-solubility and low bioavailability. Herein, a novel self-nanomicellizing formulation of EMP with phytochemical rebaudioside A (RA) as the nanocarrier (RA-EMP) was fabricated to address these issues. RA-EMP powder could be simply prepared and exhibited excellent storage stability, dramatically improved EMP's apparent solubility, and instantly self-assembled into micelles with high EMP encapsulation efficiency in water. In vivo experimental studies showed that RA-EMP exhibited significantly enhanced oral bioavailability of EMP and dramatically improved therapeutic efficacy against AP. The mechanisms through suppressing the effects of oxidative stress and proinflammatory cytokines were involved in this therapeutic effect. The results demonstrated that RA-EMP could serve as a promising way to enhance the oral bioavailability and strengthen the potential therapeutic efficacy of EMP against AP.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to investigate (a) macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) levels in polytrauma patients and rats after haemorrhagic shock (HS), (b) the potential of the MIF inhibitor ISO-1 to reduce multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) in acute (short-term and long-term follow-up) HS rat models and (c) whether treatment with ISO-1 attenuates NF-κB and NLRP3 activation in HS. Background The MODS caused by an excessive systemic inflammatory response following trauma is associated with a high morbidity and mortality. MIF is a pleiotropic cytokine which can modulate the inflammatory response, however, its role in trauma is unknown. Methods The MIF levels in plasma of polytrauma patients and serum of rats with HS were measured by ELISA. Acute HS rat models were performed to determine the influence of ISO-1 on MODS. The activation of NF-κB and NLRP3 pathways were analysed by western blot in the kidney and liver. Results We demonstrated that (a) MIF levels are increased in polytrauma patients on arrival to the emergency room and in rats after HS, (b) HS caused organ injury and/or dysfunction and hypotension (post-resuscitation) in rats, while (c) treatment of HS-rats with ISO-1 attenuated the organ injury and dysfunction in acute HS models and (d) reduced the activation of NF-κB and NLRP3 pathways in the kidney and liver. Conclusion Our results point to a role of MIF in the pathophysiology of trauma-induced organ injury and dysfunction and indicate that MIF inhibitors may be used as a potential therapeutic approach for MODS after trauma and/or haemorrhage.

Int Immunopharmacol 2021; 100:108084. [PMID: 34482268 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2021.108084] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2021] [Revised: 06/30/2021] [Accepted: 08/17/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a highly heterogeneous disease and can be categorized into eosinophilic CRSwNP (eCRSwNP) and non-eosinophilic CRSwNP (neCRSwNP). Exploring effective biomarkers to distinguish endotypes is important for personalized therapies. The present study aims to evaluate the predictive value of serum MIF in CRSwNP endotypes. METHODS One hundred and twenty CRSwNP patients, including 51 eCRSwNP and 69 neCRSwNP, 40 chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps (CRSsNP) patients and 40 healthy controls (HC) were enrolled. Serum MIF levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The patients' clinical variables were analyzed for correlations with serum MIF. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and multivariate analysis were utilized to assess the predictive value of serum MIF in CRSwNP endotypes. RESULTS The serum MIF levels were significantly higher in CRSwNP group than CRSsNP group and HC group (P < 0.001), and the serum MIF levels were increased in eCRSwNP compared to neCRSwNP group (P = 0.006). Elevated serum MIF levels were significantly correlated with blood eosinophil (B-EOS) count (r = 0.411, P < 0.001), B-EOS percentage (r = 0.377, P < 0.001), visual analog scale score (r = 0.204, P = 0.025), tissue eosinophil (T-EOS) count (r = 0.705, P < 0.001) and T-EOS percentage (r = 0.671, P < 0.001) in CRSwNP patients. ROC curve demonstrated that serum MIF exhibited good preoperative prediction in CRSwNP endotypes (area under the curve = 0.925, P < 0.001). Multivariate regression analysis showed that serum MIF was an independent factor associated with CRSwNP endotypes. CONCLUSIONS This was the first study identifying serum MIF as a possible specific biomarker for preoperatively distinguishing CRSwNP endotypes. Furthermore, the serum MIF levels were found to be closely associated with the degree of mucosal eosinophil infiltration.

Betulinic Acid Ameliorates the Severity of Acute Pancreatitis via Inhibition of the NF-κB Signaling Pathway in Mice. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22136871. [PMID: 34206763 PMCID: PMC8268208 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22136871] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2021] [Revised: 06/21/2021] [Accepted: 06/24/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disorder, involving acinar cell death and the release of inflammatory cytokines. Currently, there are limited effective therapeutic agents for AP. Betulinic acid (BA) is a pentacyclic triterpenoid extracted from Betula platyphylla that has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of BA on AP and elucidate the potential underlying mechanisms. AP was induced in mice through six intraperitoneal injections of cerulein. After the last cerulein injection, the mice were sacrificed. Our results revealed that pre- and post-treatment with BA significantly reduced the severity of pancreatitis, as evidenced by a decrease in histological damage in the pancreas and lung, serum amylase and lipase activity and pancreatic myeloperoxidase activity. Furthermore, BA pretreatment reduced proinflammatory cytokine production, augmentation of chemokines, and infiltration of macrophages and neutrophils in the pancreas of AP mice. In addition, mice that were pretreated with BA showed a reduction in Iκ-Bα degradation and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) binding activity in the pancreas. Moreover, BA reduced the production of proinflammatory cytokines and NF-κB activation in pancreatic acinar cells (PACs). These findings suggest that BA may have prophylactic and therapeutic effects on AP via inhibition of the NF-κB signaling pathway.

Daphnetin ameliorates acute lung injury in mice with severe acute pancreatitis by inhibiting the JAK2-STAT3 pathway. Sci Rep 2021; 11:11491. [PMID: 34075160 PMCID: PMC8169853 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-91008-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2020] [Accepted: 05/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is often associated with pulmonary inflammation leading to acute lung injury. Daphnetin, a natural coumarin derivative, has been reported to exert anti-inflammatory effects. Here, we explored the effect and possible mechanism of daphnetin in a mouse model of SAP-associated lung injury induced by an intraperitoneal injection of L-arginine. The severity of pancreatic and lung injury is determined by histology and its score. Immunostaining of inflammatory and apoptotic cells was used to demonstrate lung tissue inflammation and apoptosis; ELISA analysis of serum and tissue cytokine levels; and western blotting and immunohistochemical staining for the activated Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)-signal transducer and activator of transcription protein 3 (STAT3) signalling pathway in lung tissues. Daphnetin pretreatment significantly reduced SAP-induced pancreatic and lung tissue damage, reduced interleukin-6 and tumour necrosis factor-α concentrations in both serum and lung tissues, reduced serum amylase and myeloperoxidase activities, and reduced macrophage (CD11b) and neutrophil (Ly6G) infiltration and cell apoptosis in the lung tissue. Moreover, SAP-induced phosphorylation of JAK2 and STAT3 in the lung tissue was also significantly diminished by the daphnetin pretreatment. These results indicated that daphnetin reduces SAP-associated lung tissue damage, likely by inhibiting the activation of JAK2-STAT3 signalling.

MIF inhibitor ISO-1 alleviates severe acute pancreatitis-associated acute kidney injury by suppressing the NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway. Int Immunopharmacol 2021; 96:107555. [PMID: 33823428 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2021.107555] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2020] [Revised: 02/11/2021] [Accepted: 02/28/2021] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is an important complication of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) with a poor prognosis. The methyl ester of (S,R)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4,5-dihydro-5-isoxazole acetic acid (ISO-1), an inhibitor of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), has protective effects against many diseases. Our previous study confirmed MIF inhibition alleviated SAP. Here, we explored the effects of ISO-1 in an experimental mouse model of SAP-associated AKI induced by l-arginine. METHODS Mice were randomly divided into four treatment groups (n = 6 each): control (CON), SAP, SAP + ISO-1, and ISO-1. Histopathologic examination was used to observe damage in pancreatic and renal tissues. Biochemical and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) kits were used to measure the serologic indicators amylase, lipase, creatinine, uric acid, interleukin (IL)-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect protein expression of NLRP3, ASC and caspase-1, and the infiltration of myeloperoxidase (MPO)-positive neutrophils in kidney tissue. Western blotting was used to detect NLRP3, ASC and caspase-1 and IL-1β protein expression, and real-time PCR was used to measure MIF, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-18 mRNA levels in kidney tissue. RESULTS ISO-1 treatment alleviated pathological damage in pancreatic and renal tissues, and reduced the serum levels of amylase, lipase, creatinine, uric acid, IL-6 and TNF-α. ISO-1 also reduced protein expression of NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1 and IL-1β, mRNA expression of MIF, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-18, and the infiltration of MPO-positive neutrophils in kidney tissue. CONCLUSION ISO-1 has a protective effect against experimental SAP-associated AKI. And the mechanism may be associated with ISO-1 inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway.

[PMID: 33776775 PMCID: PMC7992011 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2021.638950] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2020] [Accepted: 01/29/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a pleiotropic cytokine implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammation and cancer. It is produced by various cells and circulating MIF has been identified as a biomarker for a range of diseases. Extracellular MIF mainly binds to the cluster of differentiation 74 (CD74)/CD44 to activate downstream signaling pathways. These in turn activate immune responses, enhance inflammation and can promote cancer cell proliferation and invasion. Extracellular MIF also binds to the C-X-C chemokine receptors cooperating with or without CD74 to activate chemokine response. Intracellular MIF is involved in Toll-like receptor and inflammasome-mediated inflammatory response. Pharmacological inhibition of MIF has been shown to hold great promise in treating inflammatory diseases and cancer, including small molecule MIF inhibitors targeting the tautomerase active site of MIF and antibodies that neutralize MIF. In the current review, we discuss the role of MIF signaling pathways in inflammation and cancer and summarize the recent advances of the role of MIF in experimental and clinical exocrine pancreatic diseases. We expect to provide insights into clinical translation of MIF antagonism as a strategy for treating acute pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer.
