Abstract
Intestinal ischemia/reperfusion is a prevalent pathological process that can result in intestinal dysfunction, bacterial translocation, energy metabolism disturbances, and subsequent harm to distal tissues and organs via the circulatory system. Acute lung injury frequently arises as a complication of intestinal ischemia/reperfusion, exhibiting early onset and a grim prognosis. Without appropriate preventative measures and efficacious interventions, this condition may progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome and elevate mortality rates. Nonetheless, the precise mechanisms and efficacious treatments remain elusive. This paper synthesizes recent research models and pertinent injury evaluation criteria within the realm of acute lung injury induced by intestinal ischemia/reperfusion. The objective is to investigate the roles of pathophysiological mechanisms like oxidative stress, inflammatory response, apoptosis, ferroptosis, and pyroptosis; and to assess the strengths and limitations of current therapeutic approaches for acute lung injury stemming from intestinal ischemia/reperfusion. The goal is to elucidate potential targets for enhancing recovery rates, identify suitable treatment modalities, and offer insights for translating fundamental research into clinical applications.

Abstract
Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) is a multifaceted pathological process, and there is a lack of clear treatment for intestinal I/R injury. During intestinal I/R, oxidative stress and inflammation triggered by cells can trigger a variety of cell death mechanisms, including apoptosis, autophagy, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and necrosis. These cell death processes can send a danger signal for the body to be damaged and prevent intestinal I/R injury. Therefore, identifying key regulatory molecules or markers of these cell death mechanisms when intestinal I/R injury occurs may provide valuable information for the treatment of intestinal I/R injury. This paper reviews the regulatory molecules and potential markers that may be involved in regulating cell death during intestinal I/R and elaborates on the cell death mechanism of intestinal I/R injury at the molecular level to provide a theoretical basis for discovering new molecules or markers regulating cell death during intestinal I/R injury and provides ideas for drug development for the treatment of intestinal I/R injury.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) is associated with increased lung inflammation and lung permeability. The present study aimed to determine the role of inactive rhomboid-like protein 2 (iRHOM2) in ALI in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced pulmonary microvascular endothelial cell model. Human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (HPMVECs) were transfected with small interfering RNA targeting iRHOM2 and C-X3-C motif chemokine ligand 1 (CX3CL1) overexpression plasmids and treated with LPS. Cell viability was detected using a Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, while levels of TNFα, IL-1β, IL-6 and p65 were measured by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and western blotting. Apoptosis levels were measured using a TUNEL assay. Endothelial barrier permeability was detected, followed by analysis of zonula occludens-1, vascular endothelial-cadherin and occludin by immunofluorescence staining or western blotting. The interaction of iRHOM2 and CX3CL1 was analyzed using an immune-coprecipitation assay. Through bioinformatics analysis, it was found that CX3CL1 was upregulated in the LPS group compared with the control. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis demonstrated that the TNF signaling pathway affected by iRHOM2 and cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, including CX3CL1, served a key role in ALI. HPMVECs treated with LPS exhibited a decrease in cell viability and an increase in inflammation, apoptosis and endothelial barrier permeability, while these effects were reversed by iRHOM2 silencing. However, CX3CL1 overexpression inhibited the effects of iRHOM2 silencing on LPS-treated HPMVECs. The present study demonstrated a novel role of iRHOM2 as a regulator that affects inflammation, apoptosis and endothelial barrier permeability; this was associated with CX3CL1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute lung injury (ALI) caused by intestinal ischemia-reperfusion is a life-threatening disease. Interferon gene stimulator (STING) is a cytoplasmic DNA sensor that participates in the initiation of the inflammatory response. This study aims to establish whether C-176 (STING inhibitor) improves ALI under intestinal ischemia-reperfusion conditions. METHODS To induce ALI, 72 male C57BL/6 mice were subjected to intestinal ischemia for 60 min and reperfusion for 3 h. Through intraperitoneal injection, C-176, a selective STING inhibitor, was injected 30 min before surgical treatment; meanwhile, compound C, an antagonist of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), was administered 30 min after surgery. Based on immunofluorescence and Western blot assays, post-ALI assessments included lung water content (TLW), bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) protein, H&E staining, Masson staining, pulmonary pyroptosis [Gasdermin-D (GSDMD), cleaved caspase-1], and apoptosis (TUNEL, cleaved caspase-3). RESULTS C-176 administration significantly attenuated intestinal ischemia-reperfusion-mediated ALI; this effect was reflected by exacerbated TLW and BALF protein, aggravated lung injury score, elevated degree of pulmonary fibrosis, increased TUNEL- and GSDMD-positive cells, and upregulated phospho-AMPK, cleaved caspase-1, cleaved caspase-3 and IFNβ mRNA expression. Moreover, C-176 increased phospho-AMPK under ALI conditions. Nonetheless, compound C partially reversed these beneficial effects. CONCLUSION C-176, a selective STING inhibitor, improves intestinal ischemia-reperfusion-mediated ALI, and its underlying mechanism may be associated with AMPK signal activation.

Abstract
We report a pleiotropic disease due to loss-of-function mutations in RHBDF2, the gene encoding iRHOM2, in two kindreds with recurrent infections in different organs. One patient had recurrent pneumonia but no colon involvement, another had recurrent infectious hemorrhagic colitis but no lung involvement and the other two experienced recurrent respiratory infections. Loss of iRHOM2, a rhomboid superfamily member that regulates the ADAM17 metalloproteinase, caused defective ADAM17-dependent cleavage and release of cytokines, including tumor-necrosis factor and amphiregulin. To understand the diverse clinical phenotypes, we challenged Rhbdf2-/- mice with Pseudomonas aeruginosa by nasal gavage and observed more severe pneumonia, whereas infection with Citrobacter rodentium caused worse inflammatory colitis than in wild-type mice. The fecal microbiota in the colitis patient had characteristic oral species that can predispose to colitis. Thus, a human immunodeficiency arising from iRHOM2 deficiency causes divergent disease phenotypes that can involve the local microbial environment.

Abstract
Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (II/R) develops when the blood flow to the intestines decreases, followed by the reestablishment of the blood supply to the ischemic tissue, resulting in intestinal mucosal barrier dysfunction, with consequent severe local and systemic inflammation. Acute lung injury (ALI) represents the most serious complication after II/R. KYP-2047 is a selective inhibitor of prolyl oligopeptidase (POP), a serine protease involved in the release of pro-angiogenic and inflammatory molecules. The aim of the present study is to assess the effects of POP-inhibition mediated by KYP-2047 treatment in the pathophysiology of ALI following II/R. An in vivo model of II/R was performed and mice were subjected to KYP-2047 treatment (intraperitoneal, 1, 2.5 and 5 mg/kg). Histological analysis, Masson’s trichrome staining, immunohistochemical, immunofluorescence, biochemical and western blots analysis were performed on ileum and lung samples. KYP-2047 treatment ameliorated histological alteration in ileum and lung, reduced collagen amount and lowered inflammatory protein levels. Moreover, TGF-β1, eNOS, VEGF and CD34 positive staining has been modulated; also, a reduction in apoptosis expression was confirmed. This research revealed the strong anti-inflammatory potential of KYP-2047 associated to its modulatory role on angiogenesis and apoptosis, suggesting POP as a novel therapeutic target for ALI after II/R.

Abstract
Acute lung injury induced by ischemia-reperfusion (I/R)-associated pulmonary inflammation is associated with high rates of morbidity. Despite advances in the clinical management of lung disease, molecular therapeutic options for I/R-associated lung injury are limited. Zinc finger protein 36 (ZFP36) is an AU-rich element-binding protein that is known to suppress the inflammatory response. A ZFP36 binding site occurs in the 3' UTR of the cAMP-response element-binding protein (CREB) binding protein (CREBBP) gene, which is known to interact with apoptotic proteins to promote apoptosis. In this study, we investigate the involvement of ZFP36 and CREBBP on I/R-induced lung injury in vivo and in vitro. Intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) activates inflammatory responses, resulting in injury to different organs including the lung. Lung tissues from ZFP36-knockdown mice and mouse lung epithelial (MLE)-2 cells were subjected to either Intestinal I/R or hypoxia/reperfusion, respectively, and then analyzed by Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and real-time PCR. Silico analyses, pull down and RIP assays were used to analyze the relationship between ZFP36 and CREBBP. ZFP36 deficiency upregulated CREBBP, enhanced I/R-induced lung injury, apoptosis, and inflammation, and increased I/R-induced lung fibrosis. In silico analyses indicated that ZFP36 was a strong negative regulator of CREBBP mRNA stability. Results of pull down and RIP assays confirmed that ZFP36 direct interacted with CREBBP mRNA. Our results indicated that ZFP36 can mediate the level of inflammation-associated lung damage following I/R via interactions with the CREBBP/p53/p21/Bax pathway. The downregulation of ZFP36 increased the level of fibrosis.

Abstract
The lung is severely affected by intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) injury. Mesna, a thiol compound, possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. We aimed in the present work to explore the potential beneficial effects of Mesna on the acute lung damage mediated by intestinal I-R in a rat model. Forty male adult albino rats were randomly separated into; control, intestinal I-R, Mesna I and Mesna II groups. Mesna was administered by intraperitoneal injection at a dose of 100 mg/kg, 60 min before ischemia (Mesna I) and after reperfusion (Mesna II). Arterial blood gases and total proteins in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) were measured. Lung tissue homogenates were utilized for biochemical assays of proinflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress markers. Lung specimens were managed for examination by light and electron microscopy. Our results revealed that Mesna attenuated the histopathological changes and apoptosis of the lung following intestinal I-R. Mesna also recovered systemic oxygenation. Mesna suppressed neutrophil infiltration (as endorsed by the reduction in MPO level), reduced ICAM-1 mRNA expression, inhibited NF-κB pathway and reduced the proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6) in the lung tissues. Mesna maintained the antioxidant profile as evidenced by the elevation of the tissue GPx and SOD and down-regulation of HSP70 immune-expressions. Accordingly, Mesna treatment can be a promising way to counteract remote injury of the lung resulted from intestinal I-R.

Cellular Signal Transduction Pathways Involved in Acute Lung Injury Induced by Intestinal Ischemia-Reperfusion. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2021; 2021:9985701. [PMID: 34188755 PMCID: PMC8195661 DOI: 10.1155/2021/9985701] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2021] [Accepted: 05/14/2021] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (II/R) injury is a common type of tissue and organ injury, secondary to intestinal and mesenteric vascular diseases. II/R is characterized by a high incidence rate and mortality. In the II/R process, intestinal barrier function is impaired and bacterial translocation leads to excessive reactive oxygen species, inflammatory cytokine release, and even apoptosis. A large number of inflammatory mediators and oxidative factors are released into the circulation, leading to severe systemic inflammation and multiple organ failure of the lung, liver, and kidney. Acute lung injury (ALI) is the most common complication, which gradually develops into acute respiratory distress syndrome and is the main cause of its high mortality. This review summarizes the signal transduction pathways and key molecules in the pathophysiological process of ALI induced by II/R injury and provides a new therapeutic basis for further exploration of the molecular mechanisms of ALI induced by II/R injury. In particular, this article will focus on the biomarkers involved in II/R-induced ALI.

Emodin protects against intestinal and lung injury induced by acute intestinal injury by modulating SP-A and TLR4/NF-κB pathway. Biosci Rep 2021; 40:226403. [PMID: 32915230 PMCID: PMC7517261 DOI: 10.1042/bsr20201605] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2020] [Revised: 09/02/2020] [Accepted: 09/10/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: Our aim was to investigate the effect of emodin on intestinal and lung injury induced by acute intestinal injury in rats and explore potential molecular mechanisms. Methods: Healthy male Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into five groups (n=10, each group): normal group; saline group; acute intestinal injury model group; model + emodin group; model+NF-κB inhibitor pynolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) group. Histopathological changes in intestine/lung tissues were observed by Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase biotin-dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) staining. Serum IKBα, p-IKBα, surfactant protein-A (SP-A) and toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) levels were examined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RT-qPCR was performed to detect the mRNA expression levels of IKBα, SP-A and TLR4 in intestine/lung tissues. Furthermore, the protein expression levels of IKBα, p-IKBα, SP-A and TLR4 were detected by Western blot. Results: The pathological injury of intestinal/lung tissues was remarkedly ameliorated in models treated with emodin and PDTC. Furthermore, the intestinal/lung injury scores were significantly decreased after emodin or PDTC treatment. TUNEL results showed that both emodin and PDTC treatment distinctly attenuated the apoptosis of intestine/lung tissues induced by acute intestinal injury. At the mRNA level, emodin significantly increased the expression levels of SP-A and decreased the expression levels of IKBα and TLR4 in intestine/lung tissues. According to ELISA and Western blot, emodin remarkedly inhibited the expression of p-IKBα protein and elevated the expression of SP-A and TLR4 in serum and intestine/lung tissues induced by acute intestinal injury. Conclusion: Our findings suggested that emodin could protect against intestinal and lung injury induced by acute intestinal injury by modulating SP-A and TLR4/NF-κB pathway.

Protective Effects of Cinnamaldehyde against Mesenteric Ischemia-Reperfusion-Induced Lung and Liver Injuries in Rats. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2020; 2020:4196548. [PMID: 33381264 PMCID: PMC7748914 DOI: 10.1155/2020/4196548] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2020] [Revised: 11/17/2020] [Accepted: 11/25/2020] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to characterize and reveal the protective effects of cinnamaldehyde (CA) against mesenteric ischemia-reperfusion- (I/R-) induced lung and liver injuries and the related mechanisms. Sprague-Dawley (SPD) rats were pretreated for three days with 10 or 40 mg/kg/d, ig of CA, and then induced with mesenteric ischemia for 1 h and reperfusion for 2 h. The results indicated that pretreatment with 10 or 40 mg/kg of CA attenuated morphological damage in both lung and liver tissues of mesenteric I/R-injured rats. CA pretreatment significantly restored the levels of aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) in mesenteric I/R-injured liver tissues, indicating the improvement of hepatic function. CA also significantly attenuated the inflammation via reducing myeloperoxidase (MOP) activity and downregulating the expression of inflammation-related proteins, including interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2), and tumor necrosis factor receptor type-2 (TNFR-2) in both lung and liver tissues of mesenteric I/R-injured rats. Pretreatment with CA significantly downregulated nuclear factor kappa B- (NF-κB-) related protein expressions (NF-κB p65, NF-κB p50, I kappa B alpha (IK-α), and inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa-B kinase subunit beta (IKKβ)) in both lung and liver tissues of mesenteric I/R-injured rats. CA also significantly downregulated the protein expression of p53 family members, including caspase-3, caspase-9, Bax, and p53, and restored Bcl-2 in both lung and liver tissues of mesenteric I/R-injured rats. CA pretreatment significantly reduced TUNEL-apoptotic cells and significantly inhibited p53 and NF-κB p65 nuclear translocation in both lung and liver tissues of mesenteric I/R-injured rats. CA neither induced pulmonary and hepatic histological alterations nor affected the parameters of inflammation and apoptosis in sham rats. We conclude that CA alleviated mesenteric I/R-induced pulmonary and hepatic injuries via attenuating apoptosis and inflammation through inhibition of NF-κB and p53 pathways in rats, suggesting the potential role of CA in remote organ ischemic injury protection.

Dysfunctional Rhbdf2 of proopiomelanocortin mitigates ambient particulate matter exposure-induced neurological injury and neuron loss by antagonizing oxidative stress and inflammatory reaction. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2020; 400:123158.

Abstract
Ambient particulate matter (PM2.5)-induced metabolic syndromes is a critical contributor to the pathological processes of neurological diseases, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. The rhomboid 5 homolog 2 (Rhbdf2), an essential regulator in the production of TNF-α, has recently been confirmed to exhibit a key role in regulating inflammation-associated diseases. Thus, we examined whether Rhbdf2 contributes to hypothalamic inflammation via NF-κB associated inflammation activation in long-term PM2.5-exposed mice. Specifically, proopiomelanocortin-specific Rhbdf2 deficiency (Rhbdf2Pomc) and corresponding littermates control mice were used for the current study. After 24 weeks of PM2.5 inhalation, systemic-metabolism disorder was confirmed in WT mice in terms of impaired glucose tolerance, increased insulin resistance, and high blood pressure. Markedly, PM2.5-treated Rhbdf2Pomc mice displayed a significantly opposite trend in these parameters compared with those of the controls group. We next confirmed hypothalamic injury accompanied by abnormal POMC neurons loss, as indicated by increased inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and oxidative-stress levels and decreased antioxidant activity. These results were further supported by blood routine examination. In summary, our findings suggest that Rhbdf2 plays an important role in exacerbating PM2.5-stimulated POMC neurons loss associated hypothalamic injury, thus providing a possible target for blocking pathological development of air pollution-associated diseases.

Abstract
The rhomboid family are evolutionary conserved intramembrane proteases. Their inactive members, iRhom in Drosophila melanogaster and iRhom1 and iRhom2 in mammals, lack the catalytic center and are hence labelled “inactive” rhomboid family members. In mammals, both iRhoms are involved in maturation and trafficking of the ubiquitous transmembrane protease a disintegrin and metalloprotease (ADAM) 17, which through cleaving many biologically active molecules has a critical role in tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and Notch signaling. Accordingly, with iRhom2 having a profound influence on ADAM17 activation and substrate specificity it regulates these signaling pathways. Moreover, iRhom2 has a role in the innate immune response to both RNA and DNA viruses and in regulation of keratin subtype expression in wound healing and cancer. Here we review the role of iRhom2 in immunity and disease, both dependent and independent of its regulation of ADAM17.

Inhibition of a triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) with an extracellular cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (eCIRP)-derived peptide protects mice from intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury. Surgery 2020; 168:478-485. [PMID: 32439208 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2020.04.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2020] [Revised: 03/31/2020] [Accepted: 04/02/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury results in morbidity and mortality from both local injury and systemic inflammation and acute lung injury. Extracellular cold-inducible RNA-binding protein is a damage associated molecular pattern that fuels systemic inflammation and potentiates acute lung injury. We recently discovered a triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 serves as a novel receptor for extracellular cold-inducible RNA-binding protein. We developed a 7-aa peptide, named M3, derived from the cold-inducible RNA-binding protein, which interferes with cold-inducible RNA-binding protein's binding to a triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1. Here, we hypothesized that M3 protects mice against intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury. METHODS Intestinal ischemia was induced in C57BL/6 mice via clamping of the superior mesenteric artery for 60 minutes. At reperfusion, mice were treated intraperitoneally with M3 (10 mg/kg body weight) or normal saline vehicle. Mice were killed 4 hours after reperfusion and blood and lungs were collected for various analysis. A 24-hours survival after intestinal ischemia-reperfusion was assessed. RESULTS Serum levels of organ injury markers aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, and lactate were increased with intestinal ischemia-reperfusion, while treatment with M3 significantly decreased their levels. Serum, intestinal, and lung levels of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines were also increased by intestinal ischemia-reperfusion, and treatment with M3 significantly reduced these values. Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion caused significant histological intestinal and lung injuries, which were mitigated by M3. Treatment with M3 improved the survival from 40% to 80% after intestinal ischemia-reperfusion. CONCLUSION Inhibition of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 by an extracellular cold-inducible RNA-binding protein-derived small peptide (M3) decreased inflammation, reduced lung injury, and improved survival in intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury. Thus, blocking the extracellular cold-inducible RNA-binding protein-triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 interaction is a promising therapeutic avenue for mitigating intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Abstract
iRhom proteins are catalytically inactive relatives of rhomboid intramembrane proteases. There is a rapidly growing body of evidence that these pseudoenzymes have a central function in regulating inflammatory and growth factor signalling and consequent roles in many diseases. iRhom pseudoproteases have evolved new domains from their proteolytic ancestors, which are integral to their modular regulation and functions. Although we cannot yet conclude the full extent of their molecular and cellular mechanisms, there is a clearly emerging theme that they regulate the stability and trafficking of other membrane proteins. In the best understood case, iRhoms act as regulatory cofactors of the ADAM17 protease, controlling its function of shedding cytokines and growth factors. It seems likely that as the involvement of iRhoms in human diseases is increasingly recognized, they will become the focus of pharmaceutical interest, and here we discuss what is known about their molecular mechanisms and relevance in known pathologies.

Abstract
Pneumonia induced by Gram-negative bacteria is a common and serious disease associated with high morbidity and mortality. Elimination of bacterial pathogens relies on the recruitment and functions of neutrophils. The adhesion molecule L-selectin has recently been implicated in integrin activation in neutrophils (inside-out signaling). However, the molecular mechanism by which L-selectin participates in host defense against Klebsiella pneumoniae-induced pulmonary inflammation is unknown. We demonstrate that L-selectin-deficient mice are prone to pulmonary infection compared with wild-type controls. Mechanistically, L-selectin cleavage from the neutrophil surface triggered by integrin engagement is involved in neutrophil recruitment into the lung and bacterial clearance. Downstream of integrin ligation, the metalloproteinase A disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17) sheds L-selectin from the neutrophil surface in an IRhom2-dependent manner. L-selectin cleavage enhances integrin-mediated outside-in signaling, resulting in increased neutrophil effector functions. Thus, we identify a novel regulatory mechanism in neutrophils required for an adequate immune response triggered by integrin engagement during K pneumoniae-induced pulmonary inflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α is a major proinflammatory cytokine that plays a key role in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Inactive rhomboid protein 2 (iRhom2) is essential for activating TNF-α-converting enzyme (TACE) in immune cells, which regulates TNF-α release. The aim of the study was to investigate the role of iRhom2 in intestinal inflammation in IBD. METHODS The expression of iRhom2 and TACE in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated COLO 205 and RAW 264.7 cells was assessed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot analysis. The expression of iRhom2 and TACE in the colonic tissue of IBD patients and 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid solution (TNBS)-treated mice was determined by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. To assess the role of iRhom2 in intestinal inflammation, colitis was induced in wild-type and iRhom2-/- mice by the administration of TNBS enema. RESULTS In LPS-stimulated COLO 205 and RAW 264.7 cells, the mRNA and protein levels of TACE and iRhom2 were upregulated. The expression of TACE and iRhom2 in the colon of the IBD patients and TNBS-treated mice was significantly enhanced. The inflammatory cells that expressed high levels of iRhom2 in the colon were identified as macrophages. Finally, iRhom2 deficiency ameliorated TNBS-induced colitis by inhibiting TNF-α release. CONCLUSIONS iRhom2 has an important role in intestinal inflammation through TNF-α secretion in immune cells, which suggests that iRhom2 could be a novel therapeutic target for IBD.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a common pathological process, which may lead to dysfunctions and failures of multiple organs. A flawless medical way of endogenous therapeutic target can illuminate accurate clinical applications. γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) has been known as a marker in I/R injury of the central nervous system (mainly in the brain) for a long time, and it may play a vital role in the occurrence of I/R injury. It has been observed that throughout cerebral I/R, levels, syntheses, releases, metabolisms, receptors, and transmissions of GABA undergo complex pathological variations. Scientists have investigated the GABAergic enhancers for attenuating cerebral I/R injury; however, discussions on existing problems and mechanisms of available drugs were seldom carried out so far. Therefore, this review would summarize the process of pathological variations in the GABA system under cerebral I/R injury and will cover corresponding probable issues and mechanisms in using GABA-related drugs to illuminate the concern about clinical illness for accurately preventing cerebral I/R injury. In addition, the study will summarize the increasing GABA signals that can prevent I/R injuries occurring in peripheral organs, and the roles of GABA were also discussed correspondingly.

Deletion of iRhom2 protects against diet-induced obesity by increasing thermogenesis. Mol Metab 2019; 31:67-84. [PMID: 31918923 PMCID: PMC6909339 DOI: 10.1016/j.molmet.2019.10.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2019] [Revised: 09/12/2019] [Accepted: 10/24/2019] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective Obesity is the result of positive energy balance. It can be caused by excessive energy consumption but also by decreased energy dissipation, which occurs under several conditions including when the development or activation of brown adipose tissue (BAT) is impaired. Here we evaluated whether iRhom2, the essential cofactor for the Tumour Necrosis Factor (TNF) sheddase ADAM17/TACE, plays a role in the pathophysiology of metabolic syndrome. Methods We challenged WT versus iRhom2 KO mice to positive energy balance by chronic exposure to a high fat diet and then compared their metabolic phenotypes. We also carried out ex vivo assays with primary and immortalized mouse brown adipocytes to establish the autonomy of the effect of loss of iRhom2 on thermogenesis and respiration. Results Deletion of iRhom2 protected mice from weight gain, dyslipidemia, adipose tissue inflammation, and hepatic steatosis and improved insulin sensitivity when challenged by a high fat diet. Crucially, the loss of iRhom2 promotes thermogenesis via BAT activation and beige adipocyte recruitment, enabling iRhom2 KO mice to dissipate excess energy more efficiently than WT animals. This effect on enhanced thermogenesis is cell-autonomous in brown adipocytes as iRhom2 KOs exhibit elevated UCP1 levels and increased mitochondrial proton leak. Conclusion Our data suggest that iRhom2 is a negative regulator of thermogenesis and plays a role in the control of adipose tissue homeostasis during metabolic disease. Deletion of iRhom2 protects mice from metabolic syndrome. In obesity, iRhom2 deletion increases energy expenditure, thermogenesis and white adipose tissue beiging. iRhom2 deletion enhances thermogenesis in naïve brown adipocytes.

Ginsenoside Rb1 attenuates intestinal ischemia/reperfusion‑induced inflammation and oxidative stress via activation of the PI3K/Akt/Nrf2 signaling pathway. Mol Med Rep 2019; 19:3633-3641. [PMID: 30864725 PMCID: PMC6471656 DOI: 10.3892/mmr.2019.10018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2018] [Accepted: 02/12/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Ginsenoside Rb1 (GRb1), one of the major active saponins isolated from ginseng, has recently been reported to protect various organs against ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury; however, the mechanisms underlying these protective effects following intestinal IR (IIR) remain unclear. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of GRb1 on IIR injury and determine the mechanisms involved in these effects. Sprague Dawley rats were subjected to 75 min of superior mesenteric artery occlusion, followed by 3 h of reperfusion. GRb1 (15 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally 1 h prior to the induction of IIR, with or without intravenous administration of Wortmannin [WM; a phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor, 0.6 mg/kg]. The degree of intestinal injury and oxidative stress-induced damage was determined by histopathologic evaluation and measurement of the serum activity levels of D-lactate, diamine oxidase and endotoxin, and the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α (8-iso-PGF2α). The protein expression levels of p85, phosphorylated (p)-p85, protein kinase B (Akt), p-Akt and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) were determined via western blotting, and the concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6 were measured via ELISA. It was revealed that IIR led to severe intestinal injury (as determined by significant increases in intestinal Chiu scores), which was accompanied with disruptions in the integrity of the intestinal mucosal barrier. IIR also increased the expression levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, MDA and 8-iso-PGF2α in the intestine, and decreased those of SOD. GRb1 reduced intestinal histological injury, and suppressed inflammatory responses and oxidative stress. Additionally, the protective effects of GRb1 were eliminated by WM. These findings indicated that GRb1 may ameliorate IIR injury by activating the PI3K/protein kinase B/Nrf2 pathway.

iRhom2 loss alleviates renal injury in long-term PM2.5-exposed mice by suppression of inflammation and oxidative stress. Redox Biol 2018; 19:147-157. [PMID: 30165303 PMCID: PMC6118040 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2018.08.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 40] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2018] [Revised: 08/10/2018] [Accepted: 08/17/2018] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Particulate matter (PM2.5) is a risk factor for organ injury and disease progression, such as lung, brain and liver. However, its effects on renal injury and the underlying molecular mechanism have not been understood. The inactive rhomboid protein 2 (iRhom2), also known as rhomboid family member 2 (Rhbdf2), is a necessary modulator for shedding of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in immune cells, and has been explored in the pathogenesis of chronic renal diseases. In the present study, we found that compared to the wild type (iRhom2+/+) mice, iRhom2 knockout (iRhom2-/-) protected PM2.5-exposed mice from developing severe renal injury, accompanied with improved renal pathological changes and functions. iRhom2-/- mice exhibited reduced inflammatory response, as evidenced by the reduction of interleukin 1β (IL-1β), IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and IL-18 in kidney samples, which might be, at least partly, through inactivating TNF-α converting enzyme/TNF-α receptors (TACE/TNFRs) and inhibitor of α/nuclear factor κ B (IκBα/NF-κB) signaling pathways. In addition, oxidative stress was also restrained by iRhom2-/- in kidney of PM2.5-exposed mice by enhancing heme oxygenase/nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (HO-1/Nrf-2) expressions, and reducing phosphorylated c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). In vitro, blockage of HO-1 or Nrf-2 rescued the inflammatory response and oxidative stress that were reduced by iRhom2 knockdown in PM2.5-incubated RAW264.7 cells. Similar results were observed in JNK activator-treated cells. Taken together, our findings indicated that iRhom2 played an essential role in regulating PM2.5-induced chronic renal damage, thus revealing a potential target for preventing chronic kidney diseases development. Suppression of iRhom2 negatively regulates inflammatory response in mouse macrophages RAW264.7 cells. iRhom2 deficiency alleviates PM2.5-induced renal injury by reducing inflammatory infiltration. iRhom2 inhibition reduces oxidative stress and JNK activation in PM2.5-induced renal injury in vitro and in vivo. PM2.5-induced renal injury via iRhom2-regulated oxidative stress and inflammation.
