Emodin alleviates intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury through antioxidant stress, anti-inflammatory responses and anti-apoptosis effects via Akt-mediated HO-1 upregulation. J Inflamm (Lond) 2024; 21:25. [PMID: 38982499 PMCID: PMC11232135 DOI: 10.1186/s12950-024-00392-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2023] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/11/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a severe vascular emergency. Previous research indicated the protective effects of Emodin on I/R injury. Our study aims to explore the effect of Emodin on intestinal I/R (II/R) injury and elucidate the underlying mechanisms. METHODS C57BL/6 mice and Caco-2 cells were used for in vivo and in vitro studies. We established an animal model of II/R injury by temporarily occluding superior mesenteric artery. We constructed an oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) cell model using a hypoxia-reoxygenation incubator. Different doses of Emodin were explored to determine the optimal therapeutic dose. Additionally, inhibitors targeting the protein kinase B (Akt) or Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) were administered to investigate their potential protective mechanisms. RESULTS Our results demonstrated that in animal experiments, Emodin mitigated barrier disruption, minimized inflammation, reduced oxidative stress, and inhibited apoptosis. When Akt or HO-1 was inhibited, the protective effect of Emodin was eliminated. Inhibiting Akt also reduced the level of HO-1. In cell experiments, Emodin reduced inflammation and apoptosis in the OGD/R cell model. Additionally, when Akt or HO-1 was inhibited, the protective effect of Emodin was weakened. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that Emodin may protect the intestine against II/R injury through the Akt/HO-1 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Segmental grafts from living donors have advantages over grafts from deceased donors when used for small intestine transplantation. However, storage time for small intestine grafts can be extremely short and optimal graft preservation conditions for short-term storage remain undetermined. Secreted factors from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that allow direct activation of preserved small intestine grafts. Freshly excised Luc-Tg LEW rat tissues were incubated in preservation solutions containing MSC-conditioned medium (MSC-CM). Preserved Luc-Tg rat-derived grafts were then transplanted to wild-type recipients, after which survival, injury score, and tight junction protein expression were examined. Luminance for each graft was determined using in vivo imaging. The findings indicated that 30-100 and 3-10 kDa fractions of MSC-CM have superior activating effects for small intestine preservation. Expression of the tight-junction proteins claudin-3, and zonula occludens-1 preserved for 24 h in University of Wisconsin (UW) solution containing MSC-CM with 50-100 kDa, as shown by immunostaining, also indicated effectiveness. Reflecting the improved graft preservation, MSC-CM preloading of grafts increased survival rate from 0% to 87%. This is the first report of successful transplantation of small intestine grafts preserved for more than 24 h using a rodent model to evaluate graft preservation conditions that mimic clinical conditions.

Abstract
Background Ischaemic intestines could be a driver of critical illness through an inflammatory response. We have previously published reports on a biomarker for intestinal injury, plasma Intestinal Fatty Acid Binding Protein (IFABP), and inflammatory biomarkers after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). In this post-hoc study we explored the potential indirect effects of intestinal injury mediated through the inflammatory response on organ dysfunction and mortality. Methods We measured IFABP and twenty-one inflammatory biomarkers in 50 patients at admission to intensive care unit after OHCA. First, we stratified patients on median IFABP and compared biomarkers between "low" and "high" IFABP. Second, by causal mediation analysis, we assessed effects of IFABP through the two most important inflammatory biomarkers, interleukin (IL)-6 and terminal complement complex (TCC), on day two circulatory variables, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA)-score, and 30-day mortality. Results Cytokines and complement activation were higher in the high IFABP group. In mediation analysis, patients on the 75th percentile of IFABP, compared to the 25th percentile, had 53% (95% CI, 33-74; p < 0.001) higher risk of dying, where 13 (95% CI, 3-23; p = 0.01) percentage points were mediated through an indirect effect of IL-6. Similarly, the indirect effect of IFABP through IL-6 on SOFA-score was significant, but smaller than potential other effects. Effects through IL-6 on circulatory variables, and all effects through TCC, were not statistically significant and/or small. Conclusion Effects of intestinal injury mediated through inflammation on organ dysfunction and mortality were limited. Small, but significant, effects through IL-6 were noted.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02648061.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Ischemia can cause reversible or irreversible cell or tissue damage, and reperfusion after ischemia not only has no therapeutic effect but also aggravates cell damage. Notably, gut tissue is highly susceptible to ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury under many adverse health conditions. Intestinal IR (IIR) is an important pathophysiological process in critical clinical diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to identify better therapeutic methods for relieving intestinal ischemia and hypoxia. Hyperbaric oxygenation refers to the intermittent inhalation of 100% oxygen in an environment greater than 1 atm pressure, which can better increase the oxygen level in the tissue and change the inflammatory pathway. Currently, it can have a positive effect on hypoxia and ischemic diseases. Related studies have suggested that hyperbaric oxygen can significantly reduce ischemia-hypoxic injury to the brain, spinal cord, kidney, and myocardium. This article reviews the pathogenesis of IR and the current treatment measures, and further points out that hyperbaric oxygen has a better effect in IR. We found that not only improved hypoxia but also regulated IR induced injury in a certain way. From the perspective of clinical application, these changes and the application of hyperbaric oxygen therapy have important implications for treatment, especially IIR.

Abstract
Neuropeptide substance P (SP) belongs to a family of bioactive peptides and regulates many human diseases. This study aims to investigate the role and underlying mechanisms of SP in colitis. Here, activated SP-positive neurons and increased SP expression were observed in dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis lesions in mice. Administration of exogenous SP efficiently ameliorated the clinical symptoms, impaired intestinal barrier function, and inflammatory response. Mechanistically, SP protected mitochondria from damage caused by DSS or TNF-α exposure, preventing mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) leakage into the cytoplasm, thereby inhibiting the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) pathway. SP can also directly prevent STING phosphorylation through the neurokinin-1 receptor (NK1R), thereby inhibiting the activation of the TBK1-IRF3 signaling pathway. Further studies revealed that SP alleviated the DSS or TNF-α-induced ferroptosis process, which was associated with repressing the cGAS-STING signaling pathway. Notably, we identified that the NK1R inhibition reversed the effects of SP on inflammation and ferroptosis via the cGAS-STING pathway. Collectively, we unveil that SP attenuates inflammation and ferroptosis via suppressing the mtDNA-cGAS-STING or directly acting on the STING pathway, contributing to improving colitis in an NK1R-dependent manner. These findings provide a novel mechanism of SP regulating ulcerative colitis (UC) disease.

Abstract
Hypoxic preconditioning (HPC) has been shown to improve organ tolerance to subsequent severe hypoxia or ischemia. However, its impact on intestinal ischemic injury has not been well studied. In this study, we evaluated the effects of HPC on intestinal ischemia in rats. Intestinal rehabilitation, levels of fatty acid oxidation (FAO) by-products, intestinal stem cells (ISCs), levels of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 subunit α (HIF-1α) and its downstream genes such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα), and carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1a (CPT1A) were assessed at distinct time intervals following intestinal ischemia with or without the interference of HIF-1α. Our data showed that HPC facilitates the restoration of the intestinal structure and enhances the FAO, by boosting intestinal stem cells. Additionally, HIF-1α, PPARα, and CPT1A mRNA and their protein levels were generally up-regulated in the small intestine of HPC rats as compared to the control group. Our vitro experiment also shows low-oxygen induces highly levels of HIF-1α and its downstream genes, with a concurrent increase in FAO products in IEC-6 cells. Furthermore, the above phenomenon could be reversed by silencing HIF-1α. In conclusion, we hypothesize that HPC can stimulate the activation of intestinal stem cells via HIF-1α/PPARα pathway-mediated FAO, thereby accelerating the healing process post ischemic intestinal injury.

Abstract
This study aimed to determine the effects of chlorogenic acid (CGA) on the growth performance, intestinal health, immune response, and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)-cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) signaling pathway in broilers under necrotic enteritis (NE) challenge. The 180 one-day-old male Cobb 500 broilers with similar body weight of 44.59 ± 1.39 g were randomly allocated into 3 groups. The groups were control diet (Control group), control diet + NE challenge (NE group), and control diet + 500 mg/kg CGA + NE challenge (NE + CGA group), with 6 replicates per treatment. All broilers except the Control group were given sporulated coccidian oocysts (d 14) and Clostridium perfringens (d 19-21) by oral gavage. Our findings showed that CGA improved the growth performance and intestinal morphology in broilers under NE challenge. CGA supplementation elevated the barrier function in broilers under NE challenge, which reflected in the decreased serum concentrations of D-lactate and diamine oxidase, and upregulated jejunal protein expression of occludin. CGA supplementation also improved the immune function, which reflected in the increased concentrations and gene expressions of anti-inflammatory factors, and decreased concentrations and gene expressions of proinflammatory factors. CGA supplementation further enhanced intestinal cell proliferation and differentiation, which manifested in the increased number of goblet cells and positive cells of proliferating cell nuclear antigen on d 28 and 42. Furthermore, CGA supplementation decreased the mtDNA (d 42) and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species levels (d 28 and 42), and increased the mitochondrial membrane potential (d 42) and mitochondrial complex I (d 28 and 42) or III (d 28) activity. Broilers challenged with NE had upregulated jejunal protein expressions of cGAS, phospho-TANK-binding kinase 1, and phospho-interferon regulatory factor 7 compared with the Control group, which were downregulated after CGA supplementation. In conclusion, dietary supplementation CGA could protect against intestinal inflammation and injury by reducing the leakage of mtDNA and inactivating the cGAS-STING signaling pathway in broilers under NE challenge.

Abstract
The heightened risk of ionizing radiation exposure, stemming from radiation accidents and potential acts of terrorism, has spurred growing interests in devising effective countermeasures against radiation injury. High-dose ionizing radiation exposure triggers acute radiation syndrome (ARS), manifesting as hematopoietic, gastrointestinal, and neurovascular ARS. Hematopoietic ARS typically presents with neutropenia and thrombocytopenia, while gastrointestinal ARS results in intestinal mucosal injury, often culminating in lethal sepsis and gastrointestinal bleeding. This deleterious impact can be attributed to radiation-induced DNA damage and oxidative stress, leading to various forms of cell death, such as apoptosis, necrosis and ferroptosis. Damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are intrinsic molecules released by cells undergoing injury or in the process of dying, either through passive or active pathways. These molecules then interact with pattern recognition receptors, triggering inflammatory responses. Such a cascade of events ultimately results in further tissue and organ damage, contributing to the elevated mortality rate. Notably, infection and sepsis often develop in ARS cases, further increasing the release of DAMPs. Given that lethal sepsis stands as a major contributor to the mortality in ARS, DAMPs hold the potential to function as mediators, exacerbating radiation-induced organ injury and consequently worsening overall survival. This review describes the intricate mechanisms underlying radiation-induced release of DAMPs. Furthermore, it discusses the detrimental effects of DAMPs on the immune system and explores potential DAMP-targeting therapeutic strategies to alleviate radiation-induced injury.

Abstract
The intestinal mucosa is constantly exposed to commensal microbes, opportunistic pathogens, toxins, luminal components and other environmental stimuli. The intestinal mucosa consists of multiple differentiated cellular and extracellular components that form a critical barrier, but is also equipped for efficient absorption of nutrients. Combination of genetic susceptibility and environmental factors are known as critical components involved in the pathogenesis of intestinal diseases. The innate immune system plays a critical role in the recognition and elimination of potential threats by detecting pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). This host defense is facilitated by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), in which the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) pathway has gained attention due to its role in sensing host and foreign double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) as well as cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) produced by bacteria. Upon binding with dsDNA, cGAS converts ATP and GTP to cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP), which binds to STING and activates TANK binding kinase 1 (TBK1) and interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3), inducing type I interferon (IFN) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB)-mediated pro-inflammatory cytokines, which have diverse effects on innate and adaptive immune cells and intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). However, opposite perspectives exist regarding the role of the cGAS-STING pathway in different intestinal diseases. Activation of cGAS-STING signaling is associated with worse clinical outcomes in inflammation-associated diseases, while it also plays a critical role in protection against tumorigenesis and certain infections. Therefore, understanding the context-dependent mechanisms of the cGAS-STING pathway in the physiopathology of the intestinal mucosa is crucial for developing therapeutic strategies targeting the cGAS-STING pathway. This review aims to provide insight into recent findings of the protective and detrimental roles of the cGAS-STING pathway in intestinal diseases.

Naringin protects against inflammation and apoptosis induced by intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury through deactivation of cGAS-STING signaling pathway. Phytother Res 2023; 37:3495-3507. [PMID: 37125528 DOI: 10.1002/ptr.7824] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2022] [Revised: 03/23/2023] [Accepted: 03/24/2023] [Indexed: 05/02/2023]
Abstract
Effective amelioration of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced intestinal injury and revealing its mechanisms remain the challenges in both preclinic and clinic. Potential mechanisms of naringin in ameliorating I/R-induced intestinal injury remain unknown. Based on pre-experiments, I/R-injured rat intestine in vivo and hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R)-injured IEC-6 cells in vitro were used to verify that naringin-alleviated I/R-induced intestinal injury was mediated via deactivating cGAS-STING signaling pathway. Naringin improved intestinal damage using hematoxylin and eosin staining and decreased alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase contents in plasma. Naringin decreased inflammation characterized by reducing IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, and IFN-β contents in both plasma and IEC-6 cells. Naringin mitigated oxidative stress via recovering superoxide dismutase, glutathione, and malondialdehyde levels in the I/R-injured intestine. Naringin reduced the expression of apoptotic proteins, including Bax, caspase-3, and Bcl-2, and reduced terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick-end labeling-positive cells both in vivo and in vitro, and decreased Hoechst 33342 signals in vitro. cGAS, STING, p-TBK1, p-IRF3, and NF-κB expressions were up-regulated both in vivo and in vitro respectively and the up-regulated indexes were reversed by naringin. Transfection of cGAS-siRNA and cGAS-cDNA significantly down-regulated and up-regulated cGAS-STING signaling-related protein expressions, respectively, and partially weakened naringin-induced amelioration on these indexes, suggesting that deactivation of cGAS-STING signaling is the crucial target for naringin-induced amelioration on I/R-injured intestine.

Abstract
Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is a non-specific exaggerated defense response caused by infectious or non-infectious stressors such as trauma, burn, surgery, ischemia and reperfusion, and malignancy, which can eventually lead to an uncontrolled inflammatory response. In addition to the early mortality due to the "first hits" after trauma, the trauma-induced SIRS and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) are the main reasons for the poor prognosis of trauma patients as "second hits". Unlike infection-induced SIRS caused by pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), trauma-induced SIRS is mainly mediated by damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) including mitochondrial DAMPs (mtDAMPs). MtDAMPs released after trauma-induced mitochondrial injury, including mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and mitochondrial formyl peptides (mtFPs), can activate inflammatory response through multiple inflammatory signaling pathways. This review summarizes the role and mechanism of mtDAMPs in the occurrence and development of trauma-induced SIRS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent evidences highlight role of mitochondria in the development of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-induced intestinal toxicity. Mitochondria-targeted antioxidants are well-known for their protective effects in mitochondrial oxidative stress- mediated diseases. In the present study, we investigated protective effect of Mito-TEMPO in 5-FU-induced intestinal toxicity. METHODS Mito-TEMPO (0.1 mg/kg b.w.) was administered intraperitoneally to male BALB/c mice for 7 days, followed by co-administration of 5-FU for next 4 days (intraperitoneal 12 mg/kg b.w.). Protective effect of Mito-TEMPO on intestinal toxicity was assessed in terms of histopathological alterations, modulation in inflammatory markers, apoptotic cell death, expression of 8-OhDG, mitochondrial functional status and oxidative stress. RESULTS 5-FU administered animals showed altered intestinal histoarchitecture wherein a shortening and atrophy of the villi was observed. The crypts were disorganized and inflammatory cell infiltration was noted. Mito-TEMPO pre-protected animals demonstrated improved histoarchitecture with normalization of villus height, better organized crypts and reduced inflammatory cell infiltration. The inflammatory markers and myeloperoxidase activity were normalized in mito-TEMPO protected group. A significant reduction in intestinal apoptotic cell death and expression of 8-OhDG was also observed in mito-TEMPO group as compared to 5-FU group. Further, mtROS, mtLPO and mitochondrial antioxidant defense status were improved by mito-TEMPO. CONCLUSION Mito-TEMPO exerted significant protective effect against 5-FU-induced intestinal toxicity. Therefore, it may be used as an adjuvant in 5-FU chemotherapy.

Abstract
Cell death includes programmed and nonprogrammed cell death. The former mainly includes ferroptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, autophagy, and apoptosis, while the latter refers to necrosis. Accumulating evidence shows that ferroptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis play essential regulatory roles in the development of intestinal diseases. In recent years, the incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), colorectal cancer (CRC), and intestinal injury induced by intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R), sepsis, and radiation have gradually increased, posing a significant threat to human health. The advancement in targeted therapies for intestinal diseases based on ferroptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis provides new strategies for treating intestinal diseases. Herein, we review ferroptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis with respect to intestinal disease regulation and highlight the underlying molecular mechanisms for potential therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Epidemiological investigations implied that mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNAcn) variations could trigger predisposition to multiple cancers, but evidence regarding gastrointestinal cancers (GICs) was still uncertain. We conducted a case-cohort study within the prospective Dongfeng-Tongji cohort, including incident cases of colorectal cancer (CRC, n = 278), gastric cancer (GC, n = 138), and esophageal cancer (EC, n = 72) as well as a random subcohort (n = 1173), who were followed up from baseline to the end of 2018. We determined baseline blood mtDNAcn and associations of mtDNAcn with the GICs risks were estimated by using weighted Cox proportional hazards models. Significant U-shaped associations were observed between mtDNAcn and GICs risks. Compared to subjects within the second quartile (Q2) mtDNAcn subgroup, those within the 1st (Q1), 3rd (Q3), and 4th (Q4) quartile subgroups showed increased risks of CRC (hazard ratio [HR] [95% confidence interval, CI] = 2.27 [1.47-3.52], 1.65 [1.04-2.62], and 2.81 [1.85-4.28], respectively) and total GICs (HR [95%CI] = 1.84 [1.30-2.60], 1.47 [1.03-2.10], and 2.51 [1.82-3.47], respectively], and those within Q4 subgroup presented elevated GC and EC risks (HR [95% CI] = 2.16 [1.31-3.54] and 2.38 [1.13-5.02], respectively). Similar associations of mtDNAcn with CRC and total GICs risks remained in stratified analyzes by age, gender, smoking, and drinking status. This prospective case-cohort study showed U-shaped associations between mtDNAcn and GICs risks, but further research works are needed to uncover underlying biological mechanisms.

Abstract
Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (II/R) injury is a common clinical and pathological change; however, its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Previous studies have shown that the inflammatory response induced by mast cell degranulation may be involved in the mechanism underlying II/R injury in rats. In this study, we established a human intestinal epithelial adenocarcinoma cell (Caco-2) hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) model and transwell system to investigate the effects of culture media (CM) from hypoxia conditioned human mast cell (HMC-1) and HMC-1 H/R on hypoxia/reoxygenation injury in Caco-2 under H/R conditions. Moreover, we assessed the barrier function of Caco-2 by measuring the 4-kDa fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-dextran (FD4) flux and the tight junction protein expression. The results concluded that Caco-2 exposed to H/R insult showed an increase in lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, cell apoptosis index, cell permeability, Bax expression, phosphorylation of c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase (JNK) and p38, and a decrease in cell viability and expression of Bcl-2, ZO1, and occludin (all P < 0.05). Notably, preincubating Caco-2 with HMC-1CM resulted in an increase in cell injury (increased LDH levels and cell permeability, decreased cell viability), apoptosis index, p-JNK, and p-38 expression and a decrease in ZO1 and occludin expression by co-culture system (all P < 0.05). In conclusion, our results show that HMC-1 hypoxic and reoxygenated CM aggravates hypoxic and reoxygenated injury in Caco-2 by increasing the phosphorylation of JNK and p38 in vitro.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction as defined by transcriptomic and proteomic analysis of biopsies or ultra-structure in transmission electron microscopy occurs in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD); however, mitochondrial dynamics in IBD have received minimal attention, with most investigations relying on cell-based in vitro models. We build on these studies by adapting the epithelial cell immunofluorescence workflow to imaging mitochondrial networks in normal and inflamed colonic tissue (i.e., murine di-nitrobenzene sulphonic acid (DNBS)-induced colitis, human ulcerative colitis). Using antibodies directed to TOMM20 (translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 20) and cytochrome-C, we have translated the cell-based protocol for high-fidelity imaging to examine epithelial mitochondria networks in intact intestine. In epithelia of non-inflamed small or large intestinal tissue, the mitochondrial networks were dense and compact. This pattern was more pronounced in the basal region of the cell compared to that between the nucleus and apical surface facing the gut lumen. In comparison, mitochondrial networks in inflamed tissue displayed substantial loss of TOMM20+ staining. The remaining networks were less dense and fragmented, and contained isolated spherical mitochondrial fragments. The degree of mitochondrial network fragmentation mirrored the severity of inflammation, as assessed by blinded semi-quantitative scoring. As an indication of poor cell 'health' or viability, cytosolic cytochrome-C was observed in enterocytes with highly fragmented mitochondria. Thus, high-resolution and detailed visualization of mitochondrial networks in tissue is a feasible and valuable approach to assess disease, suited to characterizing mitochondrial abnormalities in tissue. We speculate that drugs that maintain a functional remodelling mitochondrial network and limit excess fragmentation could be a valuable addition to current therapies for IBD.

Abstract
The intestinal barrier is composed of mechanical barrier, chemical barrier, immune barrier, and microbial barrier, which has an important role in defense against microbial invasion. The components of intestinal barrier coordinate with each other under physiological conditions to maintain the homeostasis of intestinal internal and external environment. In traumatic hemorrhagic shock, intestinal barrier function is prone to be impaired by intestinal hypoperfusion, intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury, and many other factors. Bacterial translocation and endotoxin entry into the blood may occur, leading to enterogenic infection, multiple organ dysfunction, and even death. At present, there are many conceptual updates and technical progress on the mechanisms, prevention, and treatment of intestinal barrier function injury in traumatic hemorrhagic shock both at home and abroad. This paper intends to make a literature review in this field based on the previous research of our team, in order to provide a systematic and comprehensive theoretical system for the clinical prevention and treatment of post-traumatic intestinal dysfunction related diseases.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a systemic inflammatory disease that contributes to remote organ failures. Multiple organ failure is the leading cause of death due to AKI, and lack of understanding of the mechanisms involved has precluded the development of novel therapies. Mitochondrial injury in AKI leads to mitochondrial fragmentation and release of damage-associated molecular patterns, which are known to active innate immune pathways and systemic inflammation. This review presents current evidence suggesting that extracellular mitochondrial damage-associated molecular patterns are mediators of remote organ failures during AKI that have the potential to be modifiable.

Abstract
Mitochondria release many damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) when cells are damaged or stressed, with mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) being. MtDNA activates innate immune responses and induces inflammation through the TLR-9, NLRP3 inflammasome, and cGAS-STING signaling pathways. Released inflammatory factors cause damage to intestinal barrier function. Many bacteria and endotoxins migrate to the circulatory system and lymphatic system, leading to systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and even damaging the function of multiple organs throughout the body. This process may ultimately lead to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Recent studies have shown that various factors, such as the release of mtDNA and the massive infiltration of inflammatory factors, can cause intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. This destroys intestinal barrier function, induces an inflammatory storm, leads to SIRS, increases the vulnerability of organs, and develops into MODS. Mitophagy eliminates dysfunctional mitochondria to maintain cellular homeostasis. This review discusses mtDNA release during the pathogenesis of intestinal I/R and summarizes methods for the prevention or treatment of intestinal I/R. We also discuss the effects of inflammation and increased intestinal barrier permeability on drugs.

Abstract
Mitochondria are key organelles of cellular energy metabolism; both mitochondrial function and metabolism determine the physiological function of cells and serve an essential role in immune responses. Key damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), such as mitochondrial DNA and N-formyl peptides, released following severe trauma-induced mitochondrial damage may affect the respiratory chain, enhance oxidative stress and activate systemic inflammatory responses via a variety of inflammation-associated signaling pathways. Severe trauma can lead to sepsis, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome and death. The present review aimed to summarize the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the effects of human mitochondrial injury-released DAMPs on triggering systemic inflammatory responses and to determine their potential future clinical applications in preventing and treating sepsis.

Abstract
Cancer chemotherapy and radiotherapy may result in mucositis characterized by stem cell damage and inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. The molecular mechanisms underlying this pathology remain unknown. Based on the assumption that mitochondrial CPG-DNA (mtDNA) released and sensed by TLR9 could underlie mucositis pathology, we analyzed the mtDNA levels in sera as well as inflammatory and disease parameters in the small intestine from wild-type (WT) and TLR9-deficient mice (TLR9-/-) in an experimental model of intestinal mucositis induced by irinotecan. Additionally, we verified the ability of WT and TLR9-/- macrophages to respond to CpG-DNA in vitro. WT mice injected with irinotecan presented a progressive increase in mtDNA in the serum along with increased hematocrit, shortening of small intestine length, reduction of intestinal villus:crypt ratio and increased influx of neutrophils, which were followed by higher expression of Nlrp3 and Casp1 mRNA and increased IL-1β levels in the ileum when compared to vehicle-injected mice. TLR9-deficient mice were protected in all these parameters when compared to WT mice. Furthermore, TLR9 was required for the production of IL-1β and NO after macrophage stimulation with CpG-DNA. Overall, our findings show that the amount of circulating free CpG-DNA is increased upon chemotherapy and that TLR9 activation is important for NLRP3 inflammasome transcription and further IL-1β release, playing a central role in the development of irinotecan-induced intestinal mucositis. We suggest that TLR9 antagonism may be a new therapeutic strategy for limiting irinotecan-induced intestinal inflammation.

Abstract
Intestinal ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury is a tissue and organ injury that frequently occurs during surgery and significantly contributes to the pathological processes of severe infection, injury, shock, cardiopulmonary insufficiency and other diseases. However, the mechanism of intestinal I/R injury remains to be elucidated. A mouse model of intestinal I/R injury was successfully established and the model mice were treated with remote ischemic post‑conditioning (RIPOC) and/or an ERK inhibitor (CC‑90003), respectively. Histopathological changes of the intestinal mucosa were determined by hematoxylin and eosin staining. In addition, the levels of high‑mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) and receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) expression were confirmed by reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction, western blotting and immunohistochemistry assays. The levels of antioxidants, oxidative stress markers (8‑OHdG) and interleukin 1 family members were evaluated by ELISA assays and the levels of NF‑κB pathway proteins were analyzed by western blotting. The data demonstrated that RIPOC could attenuate the histopathological features of intestinal mucosa in the intestinal I/R‑injury mouse models via the ERK pathway. It was also revealed that HMGB1 and RAGE expression in the mouse models could be markedly reduced by RIPOC (P<0.05) and that these reductions were associated with inhibition of the ERK pathway. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that RIPOC produced significant antioxidant and anti‑inflammatory effects following an intestinal I/R injury and that these effects were mediated via the ERK pathway (P<0.05). In addition, RIPOC was demonstrated to suppress the NF‑κB (p65)/NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammatory pathways in the intestinal I/R injury mouse models via the ERK pathway. The findings of the present study demonstrated that RIPOC helped to protect mice with an intestinal I/R injury by downregulating the ERK pathway.

Abstract
The cellular and tissue damage induced by oxidative stress (OS) contribute to a variety of human diseases, which include gastrointestinal diseases. Salvianolic acid B (Sal B), which is a natural polyphenolic acid in Salvia miltiorrhiza, exhibits prominent antioxidant properties. However, its precise function and molecular mechanisms in protecting normal intestine epithelium from OS-induced damage are still poorly defined. In this study, we tried to clarify this relationship. Here, we found Sal B addiction in the rat intestinal epithelial cell, IEC-6, prevented H2O2-induced cell viability decrease and apoptosis induction, ameliorated H2O2-induced intestinal epithelial barrier dysfunction and mitochondrial dysfunction, and suppressed H2O2-induced production of ROS to varying degrees, ranging from 10% to 30%. Moreover, by employing an ischemia reperfusion model of rats, we also discovered that Sal B treatment reversed ischemia and a reperfusion-caused decrease in villus height and crypt depth, decreased proliferation of enterocytes, and increased the apoptotic index in the jejunum and ileum. Mechanistically, Sal B treatment up-regulated the phosphorylated level of Akt and GSK3β in enterocytes in vitro and in vivo, and PI3K inhibitor LY294002 treatment abrogated the protective effects of Sal B. Meanwhile, the inactivation of GSK3β reversed the oxidative stress-induced apoptosis and mitochondrial dysfunction in IEC-6 cells. Together, our results demonstrated that the damage of intestinal epithelial cells in in vitro and in vivo models were both attenuated by Sal B treatment, and such antioxidant activity might very possibly be attributed to the activation of Akt/GSK3β signaling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intestinal ischemia causes an inflammatory response that may become intense by reperfusion and result in bacterial translocation. Intestinal immunoglobulin A is known to be a barrier against bacterial translocation. Lycopene is a compound with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. We hypothesized that lycopene has positive effects in ischemia-reperfusion of the intestine through the intestinal IgA. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-eight Wistar albino rats were separated into four groups: sham, control, lycopene-administered-before-ischemia (L-pre), and lycopene-administered-after-reperfusion groups. Histopathologic changes, intestinal immunoglobulin A levels, and bacterial translocation were evaluated after the ischemia-reperfusion period of 0.5-12 h. RESULTS Histopathologic changes, intestinal immunoglobulin A, and bacterial translocation levels in the L-pre group were similar to those in the sham group. Administration of the lycopene after reperfusion showed just a slight protective effect. However, the L-pre group had significantly fewer histopathologic changes when compared with changes in the control (P = 0.011). Intestinal immunoglobulin A level in the L-pre group was found to be higher than that in the control group (P = 0.014). Bacterial translocation levels in the blood and mesenteric lymph nodes, in the L-pre group, were lower than those in the control group (P = 0.0027 and P = 0.0097, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Lycopene limited intestinal damage, reduced loss of intestinal immunoglobulin A and decreased bacterial translocation when administered before the ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Abstract
Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a mycotoxin predominantly produced by Fusarium genus, and widely contaminates cereals and associated products all over the world. The intestinal toxicity of DON is well established. However, intestinal homeostasis involves mitochondria, which has rarely been considered in the context of DON exposure. We summarize the recent knowledge on mitochondria as a key player in maintaining intestinal homeostasis based on their functions in cellular energy metabolism, redox homeostasis, apoptosis, intestinal immune responses, and orchestrated bidirectional cross-talk with gut microbe. In addition, we discuss the pivotal roles of mitochondrial dysfunction in the intestinal toxicity of DON and highlight promising mitochondrial-targeted therapeutics for DON-induced intestinal injury. Recent studies support that the intestinal toxicity of DON is attributed to mitochondrial dysfunction as a critical factor. Mitochondrial dysfunction characterized by failure in respiratory capacities and ROS overproduction has been demonstrated in intestinal cells exposed to DON. Perturbation of mitochondrial respiration leading to ROS accumulation is implicated in the early initiation of apoptosis. DON-induced intestinal inflammatory response is tightly linked to the mitochondrial ROS, whereas immunosuppression is intimately associated with mitophagy inhibition. DON perturbs the orchestrated bidirectional cross-talk between gut microbe and host mitochondria, which may be involved in DON-induced intestinal toxicity.

Abstract
Intestinal ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury is the important pathogenesis for acute intestinal barrier disruption. The STING signaling is associated with gut homeostasis and barrier integrity. However, the biological function and regulation of STING signaling in intestinal I/R injury are not yet fully understood. As the ligand of STING signaling, the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been found to be associated with necroptosis. It still remains unknown whether mtDNA-STING signaling triggers intestinal necroptosis in intestinal I/R injury. We found that circulating RIPK3 was significantly increased and had a positive correlation with markers of enterocyte injury in critically ill patients with intestinal injury. Moreover, the levels of circulating mtDNA were also associated with the levels of circulating RIPK3. To explore the relationship between mtDNA and intestinal necroptosis, mice were treated with the intraperitoneal injection of mtDNA, and necroptosis signaling was remarkably activated and the inhibition of necroptosis alleviated mtDNA-induced intestinal injury. Furthermore, STING knockout mice showed an alleviated intestinal necroptosis. In intestinal I/R injury, mtDNA was released from IECs and necroptosis was also triggered, companied with a significant decrease of RIPK3 in the intestine. STING knockout mice markedly attenuated intestinal necroptosis and intestinal I/R injury. Finally, we found that mtDNA-mediated STING signaling triggered necroptosis through synergistic IFN and TNF-α signaling in primary IECs. Our results indicated that mtDNA-STING signaling can contribute to intestinal I/R injury by promoting IEC necroptosis. STING-mediated both IFN and TNF-α signaling can trigger intestinal nercroptosis.

Abstract
While liver transplantation remains the sole treatment option for patients with end-stage liver disease, there are numerous limitations to liver transplantation including the scarcity of donor livers and a rise in livers that are unsuitable to transplant such as those with excess steatosis. Fatty livers are susceptible to ischaemia-reperfusion (IR) injury during transplantation and IR injury results in primary graft non-function, graft failure and mortality. Recent studies have described new cell death pathways which differ from the traditional apoptotic pathway. Necroptosis, a regulated form of cell death, has been associated with hepatic IR injury. Receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) and mixed-lineage kinase domain-like pseudokinase (MLKL) are thought to be instrumental in the execution of necroptosis. The study of hepatic necroptosis and potential therapeutic approaches to attenuate IR injury will be a key factor in improving our knowledge regarding liver transplantation with fatty donor livers. In this review, we focus on the effect of hepatic steatosis during liver transplantation as well as molecular mechanisms of necroptosis and its involvement during liver IR injury. We also discuss the immune responses triggered during necroptosis and examine the utility of necroptosis inhibitors as potential therapeutic approaches to alleviate IR injury.

Abstract
Studies demonstrate a significant variation in decision-making regarding withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment (WLST) practices for patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). We investigated risk factors associated with WLST in severe TBI. We hypothesized age ≥65 years would be an independent risk factor. In addition, we compared survivors with patients who died in hospital after WLST to identify potential factors associated with in-hospital mortality. The Trauma Quality Improvement Program (2010–2016) was queried for patients with severe TBI of the head. Patients were compared by age (age < 65 and age ≥ 65 years) and survival after WLST (survivors versus non-survivors) at hospitalization discharge. A multivariable logistic regression model was used for analysis. From 1,403,466 trauma admissions, 328,588 (23.4%) patients had severe TBI. Age ≥ 65 years was associated with increased WLST (odds ratio: 1.76, confidence interval: 1.59–1.94, P < 0.001), whereas nonwhite race was associated with decreased WLST (odds ratio: 0.60, confidence interval: 0.55–0.65, P < 0.001). Compared with non-survivors of WLST, survivors were older (74 vs 61 years, P < 0.001) and more likely to have comorbidities such as hypertension (57% vs 38.5%, P < 0.001). Age ≥ 65 years was an independent risk factor for WLST, and nonwhite race was associated with decreased WLST. Patients surviving until discharge after WLST decision were older (≥74 years) and had multiple comorbidities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vascular inflow occlusion (VIO) during liver resections (Pringle manoeuvre) can be applied to reduce blood loss, however may at the same time, give rise to ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). The aim of this study was to assess the characteristics of hepatic microvascular perfusion during VIO in patients undergoing major liver resection. METHODS Assessment of hepatic microcirculation was performed using a handheld vital microscope (HVM) at the beginning of surgery, end of VIO (20 minutes) and during reperfusion after the termination of VIO. The microcirculatory parameters assessed were: functional capillary density (FCD), microvascular flow index (MFI) and sinusoidal diameter (SinD). RESULTS A total of 15 patients underwent VIO; 8 patients showed hepatic microvascular perfusion despite VIO (partial responders) and 7 patients showed complete cessation of hepatic microvascular perfusion (full responders). Functional microvascular parameters and blood flow levels were significantly higher in the partial responders when compared to the full responders during VIO (FCD: 0.84±0.88 vs. 0.00±0.00 mm/mm2, P<0.03, respectively, and MFI: 0.69-0.22 vs. 0.00±0.00, P<0.01, respectively). CONCLUSIONS An interpatient heterogeneous response in hepatic microvascular blood flow was observed upon VIO. This may explain why clinical strategies to protect the liver against IRI lacked consistency.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To demonstrate the results of endovascular treatment of 15 patients with acute mesenteric ischemia. MATERIAL AND METHODS There were 15 patients with acute mesenteric ischemia who underwent surgery (9 men and 6 women). Mean age was 77±11 years. Acute intestinal ischemia was caused by thromboembolism of superior mesenteric artery (9 patients), thrombosis of superior mesenteric artery (5 patients) and critical stenosis of the ostia of superior mesenteric artery and celiac trunk (1 patient). Mean time from clinical manifestation of disease to admission to the hospital was 13 hours (range 2-72 hours). In-hospital development of acute mesenteric ischemia was noted in 2 patients. Indications for endovascular intervention and techniques of endovascular revascularization of superior mesenteric artery are described in the article. RESULTS Blood flow restoration in superior mesenteric artery was achieved in 14 (93%) out of 15 patients. Laparotomy was required in 4 (27%) patients for extensive resection of necrotic intestine (n=1, 6.7%), local resection of small bowel (n=2, 13%). In another (6.7%) patient, intestine was recognized as viable after laparotomy. A bulk of intestine was preserved in most patients (n=14, 93%). In-hospital mortality rate was 47% (7 patients died). The main cause of nosocomial death (6 cases) was reperfusion syndrome followed by respiratory distress syndrome and multiple organ failure. CONCLUSION New methods of prevention and treatment of reperfusion syndrome can improve the results of treatment of acute mesenteric ischemia.

Abstract
Disturbances in mitochondrial structure and function in lung epithelial cells have been implicated in the pathogenesis of various lung diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Such disturbances affect not only cellular energy metabolism but also alter a range of indispensable cellular homeostatic functions in which mitochondria are known to be involved. These range from cellular differentiation, cell death pathways, and cellular remodeling to physical barrier function and innate immunity, all of which are known to be impacted by exposure to cigarette smoke and have been linked to COPD pathogenesis. Next to their well-established role as the first physical frontline against external insults, lung epithelial cells are immunologically active. Malfunctioning epithelial cells with defective mitochondria are unable to maintain homeostasis and respond adequately to further stress or injury, which may ultimately shape the phenotype of lung diseases. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the impact of cigarette smoke on the development of mitochondrial dysfunction in the lung epithelium and highlight the consequences for cell function, innate immune responses, epithelial remodeling, and epithelial barrier function in COPD. We also discuss the applicability and potential therapeutic value of recently proposed strategies for the restoration of mitochondrial function in the treatment of COPD.

Abstract
Sepsis is one of the most serious health hazards. Current research suggests that the pathogenesis of sepsis is mediated by both pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). Mitochondria are among the most important organelles in cells and determine their life and death. A variety of mitochondria-derived DAMPs (mtDAMPs) are similar to bacteria because mitochondria are derived from bacteria according to the mitochondrial endosymbiotic theory. Their activated signaling pathways extensively affect organ functions, the immune system, and metabolic functions in sepsis. In this review, we describe the essential roles of mtDAMPs in sepsis and discuss their research prospects and clinical importance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gut integrity is compromised in abdominal sepsis with increased cellular apoptosis and altered barrier permeability. Intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) form a physiochemical barrier that separates the intestinal lumen from the host's internal milieu and is strongly involved in the mucosal inflammatory response and immune response. Recent research indicates the involvement of the stimulator of interferons genes (STING) pathway in uncontrolled inflammation and gut mucosal immune response. METHODS We investigated the role of STING signaling in sepsis and intestinal barrier function using intestinal biopsies from human patients with abdominal sepsis and with an established model of abdominal sepsis in mice. FINDINGS In human abdominal sepsis, STING expression was elevated in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and intestinal biopsies compared with healthy controls, and the degree of STING expression in the human intestinal lamina propria correlated with the intestinal inflammation in septic patients. Moreover, elevated STING expression was associated with high levels of serum intestinal fatty acid binding protein that served as a marker of enterocyte damage. In mice, the intestinal STING signaling pathway was markedly activated following the induction of sepsis induced by cecal ligation perforation (CLP). STING knockout mice showed an alleviated inflammatory response, attenuated gut permeability, and decreased bacterial translocation. Whereas mice treated with a STING agonist (DMXAA) following CLP developed greater intestinal apoptosis and a more severe systemic inflammatory response. We demonstrated that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was released during sepsis, inducing the intestinal inflammatory response through activating the STING pathway. We finally investigated DNase I administration at 5 hours post CLP surgery, showing that it reduced systemic mtDNA and inflammatory cytokines levels, organ damage, and bacterial translocation, suggesting that inhibition of mtDNA-STING signaling pathway protects against CLP-induced intestinal barrier dysfunction. INTERPRETATION Our results indicate that the STING signaling pathway can contribute to lethal sepsis by promoting IEC apoptosis and through disrupting the intestinal barrier. Our findings suggest that regulation of the mtDNA-STING pathway may be a promising therapeutic strategy to promote mucosal healing and protect the intestinal barrier in septic patients.
