Abstract
The causal relationship between Packed red blood cell (RBC) transfusion and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) remains uncertain. This study aims to provide an exploration of transfusion and NEC in very preterm infants. Using data from the Chinese Neonatal Network cohort study between 2019 and 2021, the analysis focused on very preterm infants (with a birth weight of < 1500 g or a gestational age of < 32 weeks) who developed NEC after receiving transfusions. The time interval between the prior transfusion and NEC was analyzed. An uneven distribution of the time interval implies an association of transfusion and NEC. Additionally, multivariable logistic analysis was conducted to detect the prognosis of defined transfusion-associated NEC(TANEC). Of the 16,494 infants received RBC transfusions, NEC was noted in 1281 (7.7%) cases, including 409 occurred after transfusion. Notably, 36.4% (149/409) of post-transfusion NEC occurred within 2 days after transfusion. The time interval distribution showed a non-normal pattern (Shapiro-Wilk test, W = 0.513, P < 0.001), indicating a possible link between transfusion and NEC. TANEC was defined as NEC occurred within 2 days after transfusion. Infants with TANEC had a higher incidence of death (adjusted OR 1.69; 95% CI 1.08 to 2.64), severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (adjusted OR 2.03; 95% CI 1.41 to 2.91) and late-onset sepsis (adjusted OR 2.06; 95% CI 1.37 to 3.09) compared with infants without NEC after transfusion. Unevenly high number of NEC cases after RBC transfusions implies transfusion is associated with NEC. TANEC is associated with a poor prognosis. Further research is warranted to enhance our understanding of TANEC.

Alpha1-antitrypsin improves survival in murine abdominal sepsis model by decreasing inflammation and sequestration of free heme. Front Immunol 2024; 15:1368040. [PMID: 38562925 PMCID: PMC10982482 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2024.1368040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 02/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Excessive inflammation, hemolysis, and accumulation of labile heme play an essential role in the pathophysiology of multi-organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) in sepsis. Alpha1-antitrypsin (AAT), an acute phase protein with heme binding capacity, is one of the essential modulators of host responses to inflammation. In this study, we evaluate the putative protective effect of AAT against MODS and mortality in a mouse model of polymicrobial abdominal sepsis. Methods Polymicrobial abdominal sepsis was induced in C57BL/6N mice by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). Immediately after CLP surgery, mice were treated intraperitoneally with three different forms of human AAT-plasma-derived native (nAAT), oxidized nAAT (oxAAT), or recombinant AAT (recAAT)-or were injected with vehicle. Sham-operated mice served as controls. Mouse survival, bacterial load, kidney and liver function, immune cell profiles, cytokines/chemokines, and free (labile) heme levels were assessed. In parallel, in vitro experiments were carried out with resident peritoneal macrophages (MPMΦ) and mouse peritoneal mesothelial cells (MPMC). Results All AAT preparations used reduced mortality in septic mice. Treatment with AAT significantly reduced plasma lactate dehydrogenase and s-creatinine levels, vascular leakage, and systemic inflammation. Specifically, AAT reduced intraperitoneal accumulation of free heme, production of cytokines/chemokines, and neutrophil infiltration into the peritoneal cavity compared to septic mice not treated with AAT. In vitro experiments performed using MPMC and primary MPMΦ confirmed that AAT not only significantly decreases lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced pro-inflammatory cell activation but also prevents the enhancement of cellular responses to LPS by free heme. In addition, AAT inhibits cell death caused by free heme in vitro. Conclusion Data from the septic CLP mouse model suggest that intraperitoneal AAT treatment alone is sufficient to improve sepsis-associated organ dysfunctions, preserve endothelial barrier function, and reduce mortality, likely by preventing hyper-inflammatory responses and by neutralizing free heme.

Abstract
Oxidative stress triggers ferroptosis, a form of cellular necrosis characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, and has been implicated in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) pathogenesis. We investigated whether Bach1, a transcription factor that represses multiple antioxidant genes, regulates host resistance to Mtb. We found that BACH1 expression is associated clinically with active pulmonary tuberculosis. Bach1 deletion in Mtb-infected mice increased glutathione levels and Gpx4 expression that inhibit lipid peroxidation. Bach1-/- macrophages exhibited increased resistance to Mtb-induced cell death, while Mtb-infected Bach1-deficient mice displayed reduced bacterial loads, pulmonary necrosis and lipid peroxidation concurrent with increased survival. Single-cell RNA-seq analysis of lungs from Mtb-infected Bach1-/- mice revealed an enrichment of genes associated with ferroptosis suppression. Bach1 depletion in Mtb-infected B6.Sst1S mice that display human-like necrotic lung pathology also markedly reduced necrosis and increased host resistance. These findings identify Bach1 as a key regulator of cellular and tissue necrosis and host resistance in Mtb infection.

Abstract
Excessive iron intake is detrimental to human health, especially to the liver, which is the main organ for iron storage. Excessive iron intake can lead to liver injury. The gut-liver axis (GLA) refers to the bidirectional relationship between the gut and its microbiota and the liver, which is a combination of signals generated by dietary, genetic and environmental factors. Excessive iron intake disrupts the GLA at multiple interconnected levels, including the gut microbiota, gut barrier function, and the liver's innate immune system. Excessive iron intake induces gut microbiota dysbiosis, destroys gut barriers, promotes liver exposure to gut microbiota and its derived metabolites, and increases the pro-inflammatory environment of the liver. There is increasing evidence that excess iron intake alters the levels of gut microbiota-derived metabolites such as secondary bile acids (BAs), short-chain fatty acids, indoles, and trimethylamine N-oxide, which play an important role in maintaining homeostasis of the GLA. In addition to iron chelators, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory agents currently used in iron overload therapy, gut barrier intervention may be a potential target for iron overload therapy. In this paper, we review the relationship between excess iron intake and chronic liver diseases, the regulation of iron homeostasis by the GLA, and focus on the effects of excess iron intake on the GLA. It has been suggested that probiotics, fecal microbiota transfer, farnesoid X receptor agonists, and microRNA may be potential therapeutic targets for iron overload-induced liver injury by protecting gut barrier function.

Abstract
Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is an enzyme located at the endoplasmic reticulum, which is responsible for the degradation of cellular heme into ferrous iron, carbon monoxide and biliverdin-IXa. In addition to this main function, the enzyme is involved in many other homeostatic, toxic and cancer-related mechanisms. In this review, we first summarize the importance of HO-1 in physiology and pathophysiology with a focus on the digestive system. We then detail its structure and function, followed by a section on the regulatory mechanisms that control HO-1 expression and activity. Moreover, HO-2 as important further HO isoform is discussed, highlighting the similarities and differences with regard to HO-1. Subsequently, we describe the direct and indirect cytoprotective functions of HO-1 and its breakdown products carbon monoxide and biliverdin-IXa, but also highlight possible pro-inflammatory effects. Finally, we address the role of HO-1 in cancer with a particular focus on colorectal cancer. Here, relevant pathways and mechanisms are presented, through which HO-1 impacts tumor induction and tumor progression. These include oxidative stress and DNA damage, ferroptosis, cell cycle progression and apoptosis as well as migration, proliferation, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

Abstract
Introduction Prematurity is due to a number of factors, especially genetics. This study was designed to evaluate the impact of a pharmacist-led patient-centered medication therapy management trial on iron deficiency and medication adherence among premature infants receiving iron supplementation at a tertiary hospital in Shaoxing, China. Methods In this randomised controlled trial, eighty-one premature infants, with or without genetic factors, born at 26 to 30 weeks and 6 days gestational age, will be recruited and randomised to an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group will receive a pharmacist-driven discharge counseling on iron supplements from recruitment, until 12 months. The control group will receive care as usual. The main outcomes were haemoglobin (g/L), serum iron (μg/L), medication adherence estimation and differentiation scale, the satisfaction with information about medicines scale, beliefs about medicines questionnaire and the Bayley scales for infant development. Results A total of 81 patients were enrolled in the study. After intervention, results for the haemoglobin and serum iron differed significantly between the control group and the intervention group (101.36 vs. 113.55, P < 0.0001 and 51.13 vs. 101.36, P = 0.004). Additionally, there was a substantial difference between the intervention group and the control group in terms of patient medication adherence estimation and differentiation scale (27 vs. 34, P = 0.0002). the intervention group had better mental development index and psychomotor development index, compared with the control group (91.03 vs. 87.29, P = 0.035 and 95.05 vs. 90.00, P = 0.022). Discussion In premature infants with iron deficiency, our pharmacist-led team significantly improved clinical outcomes and medication adherence.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a novel type of programmed cell death involved in many diseases' pathological processes. Ferroptosis is characterized by lipid peroxidation, reactive oxygen species accumulation, and iron metabolism disorder. Newborns are susceptible to ferroptosis due to their special physiological state, which is prone to abnormal iron metabolism and the accumulation of reactive oxygen species. Recent studies have linked ferroptosis to a variety of diseases in the neonatal period (including hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and necrotizing enterocolitis). Ferroptosis may become an effective target for the treatment of neonatal-related diseases. In this review, the ferroptosis molecular mechanism, metabolism characteristics of iron and reactive oxygen species in infants, the relationship between ferroptosis and common infant disorders, and the treatment of infant diseases targeted for ferroptosis are systematically summarized.
