Int Immunopharmacol 2024; 126:111315. [PMID: 38043267 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2023.111315] [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: 09/28/2023] [Revised: 11/26/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/05/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the role of protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 1 (PTPN1) in mitophagy during sepsis and its underlying mechanisms and determine the therapeutic potential of PTPN1 inhibitors in endotoxemia-induced cardiac dysfunction. METHODS A mouse model of endotoxemia was established by administering an intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The therapeutic effect of targeting PTPN1 was evaluated using its inhibitor Claramine (CLA). Mitochondrial structure and function as well as the expression of mitophagy-related proteins were evaluated. Rat H9c2 cardiomyocytes were exposed to mouse RAW264.7 macrophage-derived conditioned medium. Cryptotanshinone, a specific p-STAT3 (Y705) inhibitor, was used to confirm the role of STAT3 in PTPN1-mediated mitophagy following LPS exposure. Electrophoretic mobility shift and dual luciferase reporter assays were performed to discern the mechanisms by which STAT3 regulated the expression of PINK1 and PRKN. RESULTS CLA alleviated LPS-induced myocardial damage, cardiac dysfunction, and mitochondrial injury and dysfunction in the mouse heart. PTPN1 upregulation exacerbated LPS-induced mitochondrial injury and dysfunction in H9c2 cardiomyocytes, but inhibited LPS-induced mitophagy. LPS promoted the interaction between PTPN1 and STAT3 and reduced STAT3 phosphorylation at Tyr705 (Y705), which was required to inhibit mitophagy by PTPN1. Upon LPS stimulation, PTPN1 negatively regulated the transcription of PINK1 and PRKN through dephosphorylation of STAT3 at Y705. STAT3 regulated the transcription of PINK1 and PRKN by binding to STAT3-responsive elements in their promoters. CONCLUSION PTPN1 upregulation aggravates endotoxemia-induced cardiac dysfunction by impeding mitophagy through dephosphorylation of STAT3 at Y705 and negative regulation of PINK1 and PRKN transcription.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis has a complex pathogenesis in which the uncontrolled systemic inflammatory response triggered by infection leads to vascular barrier disruption, microcirculation dysfunction and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Numerous recent studies reveal that a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 10 (ADAM10) acts as a "molecular scissor" playing a pivotal role in the inflammatory response during sepsis by regulating proteolysis by cleaving various membrane protein substrates, including proinflammatory cytokines, cadherins and Notch, which are involved in intercellular communication. ADAM10 can also act as the cellular receptor for Staphylococcus aureus α-toxin, leading to lethal sepsis. However, its substrate-specific modulation and precise targets in sepsis have not yet to be elucidated. METHODS We performed a computer-based online search using PubMed and Google Scholar for published articles concerning ADAM10 and sepsis. CONCLUSIONS In this review, we focus on the functions of ADAM10 in sepsis-related complex endothelium-immune cell interactions and microcirculation dysfunction through the diversity of its substrates and its enzymatic activity. In addition, we highlight the posttranslational mechanisms of ADAM10 at specific subcellular sites, or in multimolecular complexes, which will provide the insight to intervene in the pathophysiological process of sepsis caused by ADAM10 dysregulation.

Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) as a potential therapeutic target for neurological disorders. Biomed Pharmacother 2022; 155:113709. [PMID: 36126456 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2022.113709] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2022] [Revised: 09/13/2022] [Accepted: 09/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is a typical member of the PTP family, considered a direct negative regulator of several receptor and receptor-associated tyrosine kinases. This widely localized enzyme has been involved in the pathophysiology of several diseases. More recently, PTP1B has attracted attention in the field of neuroscience, since its activation in brain cells can lead to schizophrenia-like behaviour deficits, anxiety-like effects, neurodegeneration, neuroinflammation and depression. Conversely, PTP1B inhibition has been shown to prevent microglial activation, thus exerting a potent anti-inflammatory effect and has also shown potential to increase the cognitive process through the stimulation of hippocampal insulin, leptin and BDNF/TrkB receptors. Notwithstanding, most research on the clinical efficacy of targeting PTP1B has been developed in the field of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (TD2M). However, despite the link existing between these metabolic alterations and neurodegeneration, no clinical trials assessing the neurological advantages of PTP1B inhibition have been performed yet. Preclinical studies, though, have provided strong evidence that targeting PTP1B could allow to reach different pathophysiological mechanisms at once. herefore, specific interventions or trials should be designed to modulate PTP1B activity in brain, since it is a promising strategy to decelerate or prevent neurodegeneration in aged individuals, among other neurological diseases. The present paper fails to include all neurological conditions in which PTP1B could have a role; instead, it focuses on those which have been related to metabolic alterations and neurodegenerative processes. Moreover, only preclinical data is discussed, since clinical studies on the potential of PTP1B inhibition for treating neurological diseases are still required.

Abstract
Non-convulsive seizures and status epilepticus are frequent and associated with increased mortality in septic patients. However, the mechanism through which seizures impact outcome in these patients is unclear. As previous studies yielded an alteration of neurovascular coupling (NVC) during sepsis, we hypothesized that non-convulsive seizures, might further impair NVC, leading to brain tissue hypoxia. We used a previously developed ovine model of sepsis. Animals were allocated to sham procedure or sepsis; septic animals were studied either during the hyperdynamic phase (sepsis group) or after septic shock occurrence (septic shock group). After allocation, seizures were induced by cortical application of penicillin. We recorded a greater seizure-induced increase in the EEG gamma power in the sepsis group than in sham. Using a neural mass model, we also found that the theoretical activity of the modeled inhibitory interneurons, thought to be important to reproduce gamma oscillations, were relatively greater in the sepsis group. However, the NVC was impaired in sepsis animals, despite a normal brain tissue oxygenation. In septic shock animals, it was not possible to induce seizures. Cortical activity declined in case of septic shock, but it did not differ between sham or sepsis animals. As the alteration in NVC preceded cortical activity reduction, we suggest that, during sepsis progression, the NVC inefficiency could be partially responsible for the alteration of brain function, which might prevent seizure occurrence during septic shock. Moreover, we showed that cardiac output decreased during seizures in sepsis animals instead of increasing as in shams. The alteration of the seizure-induced systemic hemodynamic variations in sepsis might further affect cerebrovascular response to neuronal activation. Our findings support the hypothesis that anomalies in the cerebral blood flow regulation may contribute to the sepsis-associated encephalopathy and that seizures might be dangerous in such a vulnerable setting.

Abstract
Background and Aims The systemic host response in sepsis is frequently accompanied by central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction. Evidence suggests that excessive formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) can increase the permeability of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) and that the evolving mitochondrial damage may contribute to the pathogenesis of sepsis-associated encephalopathy. Kynurenic acid (KYNA), a metabolite of tryptophan catabolism, exerts pleiotropic cell-protective effects under pro-inflammatory conditions. Our aim was to investigate whether exogenous KYNA or its synthetic analogues SZR-72 and SZR-104 affect BBB permeability secondary to NET formation and influence cerebral mitochondrial disturbances in a clinically relevant rodent model of intraabdominal sepsis. Methods Sprague–Dawley rats were subjected to fecal peritonitis (0.6 g kg-1 ip) or a sham operation. Septic animals were treated with saline or KYNA, SZR-72 or SZR-104 (160 µmol kg-1 each ip) 16h and 22h after induction. Invasive monitoring was performed on anesthetized animals to evaluate respiratory, cardiovascular, renal, hepatic and metabolic parameters to calculate rat organ failure assessment (ROFA) scores. NET components (citrullinated histone H3 (CitH3); myeloperoxidase (MPO)) and the NET inducer IL-1β, as well as IL-6 and a brain injury marker (S100B) were detected from plasma samples. After 24h, leukocyte infiltration (tissue MPO) and mitochondrial complex I- and II-linked (CI–CII) oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) were evaluated. In a separate series, Evans Blue extravasation and the edema index were used to assess BBB permeability in the same regions. Results Sepsis was characterized by significantly elevated ROFA scores, while the increased BBB permeability and plasma S100B levels demonstrated brain damage. Plasma levels of CitH3, MPO and IL-1β were elevated in sepsis but were ameliorated by KYNA and its synthetic analogues. The sepsis-induced deterioration in tissue CI–CII-linked OXPHOS and BBB parameters as well as the increase in tissue MPO content were positively affected by KYNA/KYNA analogues. Conclusion This study is the first to report that KYNA and KYNA analogues are potential neuroprotective agents in experimental sepsis. The proposed mechanistic steps involve reduced peripheral NET formation, lowered BBB permeability changes and alleviation of mitochondrial dysfunction in the CNS.

Abstract
Background Growing evidence associates organ dysfunction(s) with impaired metabolism in sepsis. Recent research has increased our understanding of the role of substrate utilization and mitochondrial dysfunction in the pathophysiology of sepsis-related organ dysfunction. The purpose of this review is to present this evidence as a coherent whole and to highlight future research directions. Main text Sepsis is characterized by systemic and organ-specific changes in metabolism. Alterations of oxygen consumption, increased levels of circulating substrates, impaired glucose and lipid oxidation, and mitochondrial dysfunction are all associated with organ dysfunction and poor outcomes in both animal models and patients. The pathophysiological relevance of bioenergetics and metabolism in the specific examples of sepsis-related immunodeficiency, cerebral dysfunction, cardiomyopathy, acute kidney injury and diaphragmatic failure is also described. Conclusions Recent understandings in substrate utilization and mitochondrial dysfunction may pave the way for new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. These findings could help physicians to identify distinct subgroups of sepsis and to develop personalized treatment strategies. Implications for their use as bioenergetic targets to identify metabolism- and mitochondria-targeted treatments need to be evaluated in future studies.

Abstract
Sepsis-associated encephalopathy is a serious consequence of sepsis, triggered by the host response against an infectious agent, that can lead to brain damage and cognitive impairment. Several mechanisms have been proposed in this bidirectional communication between the immune system and the brain after sepsis as neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Stanniocalcin-1 (STC-1), an endogen neuroprotective protein, acts as an anti-inflammatory and suppresses superoxide generation through induction of uncoupling proteins (UCPs) in the mitochondria. Here, we demonstrated a protective role of STC-1 on inflammatory responses in vitro, in activated microglia stimulated with LPS, and on neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial function in the hippocampus of rats subjected to an animal model of sepsis by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP), as well the consequences on long-term memory. Recombinant human STC-1 (rhSTC1) suppressed the pro-inflammatory cytokine production in LPS-stimulated microglia without changing the UCP-2 expression. Besides, rhSTC1 injected into the cisterna magna decreased acute hippocampal inflammation and oxidative stress and increased the activity of complex I and II activity of mitochondrial respiratory chain and creatine kinase at 24 h after sepsis. rhSTC1 was effective in preventing long-term cognitive impairment after CLP. In conclusion, rhSTC1 confers significant neuroprotection by inhibiting the inflammatory response in microglia and protecting against sepsis-associated encephalopathy in rats.

Post-treatment with yiqifumai injection and its main ingredients attenuates lipopolysaccharide-induced microvascular disturbance in mesentery and ileum. Microcirculation 2021; 28:e12680. [PMID: 33486837 DOI: 10.1111/micc.12680] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2020] [Accepted: 01/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of Yiqifumai injection (YQFM), a compound Chinese medicine, and its main active ingredients on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced microvascular disturbance in mesentery and ileum. METHODS Rats were infused with LPS (5 mg/kg/h) for 90 min. Thirty minutes after initiation of LPS administration, YQFM (160 mg/kg/h), Rb1 (5 mg/kg/h), Sch (2.5 mg/kg/h), or Rb1+Sch (5 mg/kg/h + 2.5 mg/kg/h) was infused until 90 min. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were incubated with LPS (100 ng/ml) for 90 min. YQFM (1 mg/ml), Rb1 (100 µM), Sch (100 µM), or Rb1+Sch (200 µM) was added 30 min after initiation of LPS stimulation. RESULTS Yiqifumai injection and Rb1+Sch inhibited mesenteric venule hyperpermeability, suppressed microvillar erosion and submucosal edema, and protected claudin-5 from downregulation and interleukin-1β from upregulation in ileal tissues after LPS. Study in HUVECs confirmed the effect of YQFM and Rb1+Sch on JAM-1 after LPS and revealed a similar effect on other junction proteins. Moreover, YQFM and Rb1+Sch attenuated the dysfunctional energy metabolism and the activation of TLR-4/Src/NF-κB signaling with Rb1 and Sch being partially effective. CONCLUSION These results demonstrated the beneficial effect of post-treatment with YQFM, which is attributable to its main ingredient Rb1 and Sch, and likely mediated by targeting TLR-4/Src/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Abstract
Over the past 2 decades, pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) have been shown to be on the front line of many illnesses such as autoimmune, inflammatory, and neurodegenerative diseases as well as allergies and cancer. Among PRRs, toll-like receptors (TLRs) are the most studied family. Dissecting TLRs signaling turned out to be advantageous to elaborate efficient treatments to cure autoimmune and chronic inflammatory disorders. However, a broad understanding of TLR effectors is required to propose a better range of cures. In addition to kinases and E3 ubiquitin ligases, phosphatases emerge as important regulators of TLRs signaling mediated by NF-κB, type I interferons (IFN I) and Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases signaling pathways. Here, we review recent knowledge on TLRs signaling modulation by different classes and subclasses of phosphatases. Thus, it becomes more and more evident that phosphatases could represent novel therapeutic targets to control pathogenic TLRs signaling. Video Abstract.

Abstract
Sepsis-induced systemic inflammation can induce cardiac dysfunction, which can result in heart failure and death. Recently, natural drugs/compounds have received increased attention as therapeutic agents to prevent sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction. Crocetin (CRO) is a natural compound that has been shown to reduce inflammation and cytotoxicity in cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury. However, the effects of CRO on sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction have not been evaluated. In this study, we used lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced H9c2 cells as an in vitro model to mimic cardiac sepsis. Crocetin significantly alleviated LPS-induced cytotoxicity, cellular apoptosis, and oxidative stress through increased Bcl-2 activity and PI3K-Akt signaling and suppression of caspase 3 and caspase 9 activities. Furthermore, CRO dramatically decreased the mRNA levels of TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6, and IL-8 via suppression of p65/Keap1 signaling and activation of Nrf2/HO-1/NQO1 signaling. In addition, CRO protected mitochondrial respiration, free fatty acid β-oxidation, and mitochondrial morphology in LPS-induced H9c2 cells. This study showed that CRO attenuated LPS-induced cardiac dysfunction via regulation of the inflammatory response and mitochondrial function and potentially had an effect on sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction.

Abstract
Introduction: Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) are involved in the septic inflammatory response. Their inhibition is associated with improved survival in murine models of sepsis. The objective was to describe PTP1B and ERS expression during septic shock in human. Material and Methods: Prospective study including patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) for septic shock. Blood samples were collected on days 1 (D1), 3 and 5 (D5). Quantitative PCR (performed from whole blood) evaluated the expression of genes coding for PTP1B (PTPN1) and key elements of ERS (GRP78, ATF6, CHOP) or for endothelial dysfunction-related markers (ICAM1 and ET1). We analyzed gene variation between D5 and D1, collected glycemic parameters, insulin resistance and organ failure was evaluated by Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score. Results: We included 44 patients with a mean SAPS II 50 ± 16 and a mortality rate of 13.6%. Between D1 and D5, there was a significant decrease of PTPN1 (p < 0.001) and ATF6 (p < 0.001) expressions. Their variations of expression were correlated with SOFA variation (PTPN1, r = 0.35, CI 95% [0.05; 0.54], p = 0.03 and ATF6, r = 0.45 CI 95% [0.20; 0.65], p < 0.001). We did not find any correlation between PTPN1 expression and insulin resistance or glycemic parameters. Between D1 and D5, ATF6 and PTPN1 expressions were correlated with that of ET1. Conclusions: Our study has evaluated for the first time the expression of PTP1B and ERS in patients with septic shock, revealing that gene expression variation of PTPN1 and ATF6 are partly correlated with the evolution of septic organ failure and with endothelial dysfunction markers expression.

Abstract
Uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) plays a positive role in sepsis. However, the role of UCP2 in experimental sepsis in astrocytes remains unknown. The present study was designed to determine whether UCP2 has a protective effect in an experimental sepsis model in astrocytes asnd to clarify the mechanisms responsible for its neuroprotective effects after sepsis. An experimental astrocyte model mimicking sepsis-induced brain injury was established using lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and interferon (IFN)-γ. Additionally, UCP2 knockdown in astrocytes was achieved by adenovirus transfection. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-1β activity, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and reactive oxygen species (ROS), and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels were assessed. The mitochondrial ultrastructure was evaluated, and the expression of UCP2 was determined by western blotting. LPS with IFN-γ co-stimulation increased the mRNA and protein expression levels of UCP2 in astrocytes, damaged the mitochondrial structure, and accelerated the release of TNF-α and IL-1β, resulting in a decrease in the MMP, and the excessive generation of ROS. Moreover, sepsis also caused a reduction in ATP production. The knockdown of UCP2 exacerbated astrocyte injury and mitochondrial impairment. In conclusion, both the function and morphology of mitochondria were damaged in an experimental model of sepsis in astrocytes, and knockdown of UCP2 using shRNA exacerbated this impairment, suggesting that UCP2 has a positive effect on astrocytes as determined in an experimental sepsis model.

GeroScience 2019; 41:483-494. [PMID: 31478121 PMCID: PMC6815317 DOI: 10.1007/s11357-019-00094-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2019] [Accepted: 08/15/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced encephalopathy induces neuroinflammation. Long-term neuroinflammation is associated with aging and subsequent cognitive impairment (CI). We treated rats that had LPS-induced neuroinflammation with OKN-007, with an anti-inflammatory agent currently considered an anti-cancer investigational new drug in clinical trials for glioblastoma (GBM). Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (CE-MRI), perfusion MRI, and MR spectroscopy were used as methods to assess long-term (up to 6 weeks post-LPS) alterations in blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability, microvascularity, and metabolism, respectively, and the therapeutic effect of OKN-007. A free radical-targeted molecular MRI approach was also used to detect the effect of OKN-007 on brain free radical levels at 24 h and 1 week post-LPS injection. OKN-007 was able to reduce BBB permeability in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus at 1 week post-LPS using CE-MRI. OKN-007 was able to restore vascular perfusion rates by reducing LPS-induced increased relative cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in the cortex and hippocampus regions at all time points studied (1, 3, and 6 weeks post-LPS). OKN-007 was also able to restore LPS-induced brain metabolite depletions. NAA/Cho, Cr/Cho, and Myo-Ins/Cho metabolite ratios at 1, 3, and 6 weeks post-LPS were all restored to normal levels following OKN-007 treatment. OKN-007 also reduced LPS-induced free radical levels at 24 h and 1 week post-LPS, as detected by free radical-targeted MRI. LPS-exposed rats were compared with saline-treated controls and LPS + OKN-007-treated animals. We clearly demonstrated that OKN-007 restores LPS-induced BBB dysfunction, impaired vascularity, and decreased brain metabolites, all long-term neuroinflammatory indicators, as well as decreases free radicals in a LPS-induced neuroinflammation model. OKN-007 should be considered an anti-inflammatory agent for age-associated neuroinflammation.

Adenosine Attenuates LPS-Induced Cardiac Dysfunction by Inhibition of Mitochondrial Function via the ER Pathway. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2019; 2019:1832025.

Abstract
Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction syndrome with a high rate of mortality. It is caused by an abnormal immune response to infection, and the occurrence of sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy is the primary cause of death. The present study was designed to examine the effects of adenosine on lipopolysaccharide- (LPS-) induced cardiac anomalies and the underlying mechanisms involved. Adenosine (25, 50, and 100 mg/kg, i.g., 2 times/day) was administered for three days, followed by the induction of sepsis by intraperitoneal injection of LPS (10 mg/kg/2h). The effects of adenosine on inflammatory factors, LVEF, LVFS, and MAPK in septic rats (half male and half female) were observed. Subsequently, the effect of adenosine (10 μM) on the mitochondrial function of H9c2 cells stimulated with LPS (20 μg/mL, 24 h) was observed in the presence and absence of the estrogen receptor-specific antagonist ICI182,780. The results show that medium to high doses of adenosine can significantly promote cardiac function (LVEF and LVFS) and reduce the levels of inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-6, PCT, and cTnI) and p-JNK in septic rats, with a significant difference seen between male and female rats. The results of flow cytometry show that adenosine significantly inhibited increases in ROS levels, mitochondrial membrane potential, and the swelling degree of mitochondria in H9c2 cells stimulated with LPS, but this effect could be blocked by ICI182,780, indicating that adenosine attenuated LPS-induced cardiac dysfunction by inhibiting mitochondrial function via the ER pathway.

Abstract
Septic encephalopathy is a frequent complication of sepsis, but there are few studies examining the role of microRNAs (miRs) in its pathogenesis. In this study, a miR-219 mimic was transfected into rat hippocampal neurons to model miR-219 overexpression. A protective effect of miR-219 was observed for glutamate-induced neurotoxicity of rat hippocampal neurons, and an underlying mechanism involving calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II γ (CaMKIIγ) was demonstrated. miR-219 and CaMKIIγ mRNA expression induced by glutamate in hippocampal neurons was determined by quantitative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). After neurons were transfected with miR-219 mimic, effects on cell viability and apoptosis were measured by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazolyl-2)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and flow cytometry. In addition, a luciferase reporter gene system was used to confirm CaMKIIγ as a target gene of miR-219. Western blot assay and rescue experiments were also utilized to detect CaMKIIγ expression and further verify that miR-219 in hippocampal neurons exerted its effect through regulation of CaMKIIγ. MTT assay and qRT-PCR results revealed obvious decreases in cell viability and miR-219 expression after glutamate stimulation, while CaMKIIγ mRNA expression was increased. MTT, flow cytometry, and caspase-3 activity assays showed that miR-219 overexpression could elevate glutamate-induced cell viability, and reduce cell apoptosis and caspase-3 activity. Moreover, luciferase CaMKIIγ-reporter activity was remarkably decreased by co-transfection with miR-219 mimic, and the results of a rescue experiment showed that CaMKIIγ overexpression could reverse the biological effects of miR-219. Collectively, these findings verify that miR-219 expression was decreased in glutamate-induced neurons, CaMKIIγ was a target gene of miR-219, and miR-219 alleviated glutamate-induced neuronal excitotoxicity by negatively controlling CaMKIIγ expression.

Abstract
Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) induces neuroinflammation, which is associated with cognitive impairment (CI). CI is also correlated with aging. We used contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), perfusion MRI, and MR spectroscopy to assess long-term alterations in BBB permeability, microvascularity, and metabolism, respectively, in a rat lipopolysaccharide-induced SAE model. Free radical-targeted molecular MRI was used to detect brain radical levels at 24 h and 1 week post-LPS injection. CE-MRI showed increased Gd-DTPA uptake in LPS rat brains at 24 h in cerebral cortex, hippocampus, thalamus, and perirhinal cortex regions. Increased MRI signal intensities were observed in LPS rat brains in cerebral cortex, perirhinal cortex, and hippocampus regions 1 week post-LPS. Long-term BBB dysfunction was detected in the cerebral cortex at 6 weeks post-LPS. Increased relative cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in cortex and thalamus regions at 24 h, decreased cortical and hippocampal rCBF at 6 weeks, decreased cortical rCBF at 3 and 12 weeks, and increased thalamus rCBF at 6 weeks post-LPS, were detected. MRS indicated that LPS-exposed rat brains had decreased: NAA/Cho metabolite ratios at 1, 3, 6, and 12 weeks; Cr/Cho at 1, 3, and 12 weeks; and Myo-Ins/Cho at 1, 3, and 6 weeks post-LPS. Free radical imaging detected increased radical levels in LPS rat brains at 24 h and 1 week post-LPS. LPS-exposed rats were compared to saline-treated controls. We clearly demonstrated BBB dysfunction, impaired vascularity, and decreased brain metabolites, as measures of long-term neuroinflammatory indicators, as well as increased free radicals in a LPS-induced rat SAE model.
