Divergent mechanisms regulate TLR4 expression on peripheral blood mononuclear cells following workload-matched exercise in normoxic and hypoxic environments. J Appl Physiol (1985) 2024; 136:33-42. [PMID: 37994415 DOI: 10.1152/japplphysiol.00626.2023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2023] [Revised: 11/06/2023] [Accepted: 11/19/2023] [Indexed: 11/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Exercise in hypoxia increases immune responses compared with normoxic exercise, and while Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is implicated in these responses, its regulation remains undefined. The purpose of this study was to 1) investigate TLR4 regulation during workload-matched endurance exercise in normoxic and hypoxic conditions in vivo and 2) determine the independent effects of hypoxia and muscle contractions on TLR4 expression in vitro. Eight recreationally active men cycled for 1 h at 65% of their V̇o2max in normoxia (630 mmHg) and in hypobaric hypoxia (440 mmHg). Exercise in normoxia decreased TLR4 expressed on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), had no effect on the expression of inhibitor of κBα (IκBα), and increased the concentration of soluble TLR4 (sTLR4) in circulation. In contrast, exercise in hypoxia decreased the expression of TLR4 and IκBα in PBMCs, and sTLR4 in circulation. Markers of physiological stress were higher during exercise in hypoxia, correlating with markers of intestinal barrier damage, circulating lipopolysaccharides (LPS), and a concurrent decrease in circulating sTLR4, suggesting heightened TLR4 activation, internalization, and degradation in response to escalating physiological strain. In vitro, both hypoxia and myotube contractions independently, and in combination, reduced TLR4 expressed on C2C12 myotubes, and these effects were dependent on hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1). In summary, the regulation of TLR4 varies depending on the physiological stress during exercise. To our knowledge, our study provides the first evidence of exercise-induced effects on sTLR4 in vivo and highlights the essential role of HIF-1 in the reduction of TLR4 during contraction and hypoxia in vitro.NEW & NOTEWORTHY We provide the first evidence of exercise affecting soluble Toll-like receptor 4 (sTLR4), a TLR4 ligand decoy receptor. We found that the degree of exercise-induced physiological stress influences TLR4 regulation on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Moderate-intensity exercise reduces PBMC TLR4 and increases circulating sTLR4. Conversely, workload-matched exercise in hypoxia induces greater physiological stress, intestinal barrier damage, circulating lipopolysaccharides, and reduces both TLR4 and sTLR4, suggesting heightened TLR4 activation, internalization, and degradation under increased strain.

Abstract
The molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) are not completely recognized. The present study aimed to assess the molecules associated with ATP catabolism and hypoxia besides their related miRNAs in patients with RPL. The frequency of Th17 and Treg cells in PBMCs of RPL women and healthy pregnant women were evaluated with Flow cytometry. The expression levels of CD39, CD73, and Hypoxia-inducible factor-alpha (HIF-1α), miR-18a, miR-30a, and miR-206 in PBMCs of two groups were measured with real-time PCR and western blotting. Then, serum levels of IGF-1, TGF-β, and HIF-1α were measured by ELISA. Our results indicated a higher (p = 0.0002) and lower (p < 0.0001) frequency of Th17 and Treg lymphocytes in RPL women, respectively. The expression level of CD39 decreased in PBMCs of RPL women whereas the level of CD73 and HIF-α increased (p = 0.0010, 0.0023, 0.0006 respectively). The results of CD39 and CD37 were also confirmed by protein analysis (p = 0.0047, 0.0364 respectively). Almost, the same results for CD39 and CD73 expression at mRNA and protein levels were observed in isolated Treg cells. Moreover, we found the higher expression of miR-206 and miRNA-30a (p = 0.0038, 0.0123), but the lower expression of miRNA-18a (p = 0.0101) in RPL. The concentration level of IGF-1, and TGF-β reduced (p = 0.0017, 0.0065 respectively) while the level of HIF-α elevated (p = 0.0235) in serum samples of RPL. In conclusion, we observed the dysregulation of molecules that are involved in ATP catabolism and hypoxia, including CD39, CD73, and HIF-1a which is related to miR-18a, miR-30a, and miR-206 change in RPL women. It may be potentially used for RPL prognosis by more comprehensive future studies.

Beneficial effect of roxadustat on early posttransplant anemia and iron utilization in kidney transplant recipients: a retrospective comparative cohort study. ANNALS OF TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE 2022; 10:1360. [PMID: 36660711 PMCID: PMC9843359 DOI: 10.21037/atm-22-5897] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2022] [Accepted: 12/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
Background Although posttransplant anemia (PTA) is a common complication after kidney transplant, it has not been thoroughly evaluated for appropriate treatment. Roxadustat can stimulate erythropoiesis by increasing erythropoietin (EPO) production and improving the utilization of iron. However, there are currently a few case reports describing its effect on PTA in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). Our purpose was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of roxadustat in KTRs with PTA. Methods In this retrospective study, KTRs with early PTA were divided into a roxadustat group, erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) group, and untreated group (neither roxadustat nor ESA) according to the treatment prescribed by their physicians. We compared the levels of hemoglobin (Hb), creatinine, lipids, hepcidin, intact fibroblast growth factor 23 (iFGF23) and iron-related indices, at baseline and different time points posttransplant. Outcome was assessed at both month 3 and month 12 posttransplant. Adverse events during the treatment course were also recorded. Results A total of 57 KTRs were included (n=22 roxadustat group, n=13 ESA group, n=22 untreated group). There was no difference in age, sex, body mass index, dialysis method and duration, donor type among three groups at baseline. The mean Hb levels at month 3 posttransplant (128.00±19.62 vs. 118.59±11.60 g/L, P=0.048) and the average change in Hb levels from week 2 to month 3 (48.05±22.53 vs. 31.45±12.96 g/L, P=0.005) in the roxadustat group were significantly higher than those in the untreated group. However, there was no significant difference in the above indices between the roxadustat and ESA groups. At month 3, the total iron binding capacity (TIBC) and levels of transferrin were significantly higher while levels of ferritin, hepcidin and iFGF23 were significantly lower in the roxadustat group than in other groups (P<0.05). No significant difference was found in creatinine or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) levels among the three groups at month 3. During the follow-up, no adverse events related to roxadustat were reported. Conclusions Administration of roxadustat in KTRs with early PTA could elevate Hb levels effectively and safely by enhancing endogenous EPO production and improving iron utilization. Further randomized studies with larger sample size are necessary to verify our results.

Abstract
Roxadustat is a recently approved hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor that has demonstrated favorable safety and efficacy in the treatment of renal anemia. Recent studies found it also has potential for the treatment of other hypoxia-related diseases. Although clinical studies have not yet found significant adverse or off-target effects of roxadustat, clinicians must be vigilant about these possible effects. Hypoxia-inducible factor regulates the expression of many genes and physiological processes in response to a decreased level of oxygen, but its role in the pathogenesis of different diseases is complex and controversial. In addition to increasing the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor, roxadustat also has some effects that may be HIF-independent, indicating some potential off-target effects. This article reviews the pharmacological characteristics of roxadustat, its current status in the treatment of renal anemia, and its possible effects on other pathological mechanisms.

Pathophysiology of Sepsis and Genesis of Septic Shock: The Critical Role of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs). Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23169274.

Abstract
The treatment of sepsis and septic shock remains a major public health issue due to the associated morbidity and mortality. Despite an improvement in the understanding of the physiological and pathological mechanisms underlying its genesis and a growing number of studies exploring an even higher range of targeted therapies, no significant clinical progress has emerged in the past decade. In this context, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) appear more and more as an attractive approach for cell therapy both in experimental and clinical models. Pre-clinical data suggest a cornerstone role of these cells and their secretome in the control of the host immune response. Host-derived factors released from infected cells (i.e., alarmins, HMGB1, ATP, DNA) as well as pathogen-associated molecular patterns (e.g., LPS, peptidoglycans) can activate MSCs located in the parenchyma and around vessels to upregulate the expression of cytokines/chemokines and growth factors that influence, respectively, immune cell recruitment and stem cell mobilization. However, the way in which MSCs exert their beneficial effects in terms of survival and control of inflammation in septic states remains unclear. This review presents the interactions identified between MSCs and mediators of immunity and tissue repair in sepsis. We also propose paradigms related to the plausible roles of MSCs in the process of sepsis and septic shock. Finally, we offer a presentation of experimental and clinical studies and open the way to innovative avenues of research involving MSCs from a prognostic, diagnostic, and therapeutic point of view in sepsis.

Abstract
Despite increasing availability and more successful interventional approaches to restore coronary reperfusion, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury is a substantial cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. During myocardial ischemia, the myocardium becomes profoundly hypoxic, thus causing stabilization of hypoxia-inducible transcription factors (HIF). Stabilization of HIF leads to a transcriptional program that promotes adaptation to hypoxia and cellular survival. Transcriptional consequences of HIF stabilization include increases in extracellular production and signaling effects of adenosine. Extracellular adenosine functions as a signaling molecule via the activation of adenosine receptors. Several studies implicated adenosine signaling in cardioprotection, particularly through the activation of the Adora2a and Adora2b receptors. Adenosine receptor activation can lead to metabolic adaptation to enhance ischemia tolerance or dampen myocardial reperfusion injury via signaling events on immune cells. Many studies highlight that clinical strategies to target the hypoxia-adenosine link could be considered for clinical trials. This could be achieved by using pharmacologic HIF activators or by directly enhancing extracellular adenosine production or signaling as a therapy for patients with acute myocardial infarction, or undergoing cardiac surgery.

Abstract
Abstract The molecular signalling pathways that regulate inflammation and the response to hypoxia share significant crosstalk and appear to play major roles in high‐altitude acclimatization and adaptation. Several studies demonstrate increases in circulating candidate inflammatory markers during acute high‐altitude exposure, but significant gaps remain in our understanding of how inflammation and immune function change at high altitude and whether these responses contribute to high‐altitude pathologies, such as acute mountain sickness. To address this, we took an unbiased transcriptomic approach, including RNA sequencing and direct digital mRNA detection with NanoString, to identify changes in the inflammatory profile of peripheral blood throughout 3 days of high‐altitude acclimatization in healthy sea‐level residents (n = 15; five women). Several inflammation‐related genes were upregulated on the first day of high‐altitude exposure, including a large increase in HMGB1 (high mobility group box 1), a damage‐associated molecular pattern (DAMP) molecule that amplifies immune responses during tissue injury. Differentially expressed genes on the first and third days of acclimatization were enriched for several inflammatory pathways, including nuclear factor‐κB and Toll‐like receptor (TLR) signalling. Indeed, both TLR4 and LY96, which encodes the lipopolysaccharide binding protein (MD‐2), were upregulated at high altitude. Finally, FASLG and SMAD7 were associated with acute mountain sickness scores and peripheral oxygen saturation levels on the first day at high altitude, suggesting a potential role of immune regulation in response to high‐altitude hypoxia. These results indicate that acute high‐altitude exposure upregulates inflammatory signalling pathways and might sensitize the TLR4 signalling pathway to subsequent inflammatory stimuli.
![]() Key points Inflammation plays a crucial role in the physiological response to hypoxia. High‐altitude hypoxia exposure causes alterations in the inflammatory profile that might play an adaptive or maladaptive role in acclimatization. In this study, we characterized changes in the inflammatory profile following acute high‐altitude exposure. We report upregulation of novel inflammation‐related genes in the first 3 days of high‐altitude exposure, which might play a role in immune system sensitization. These results provide insight into how hypoxia‐induced inflammation might contribute to high‐altitude pathologies and exacerbate inflammatory responses in critical illnesses associated with hypoxaemia.

Abstract
It is well known that neuroinflammation plays a key role in neurodegenerative diseases. Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) and its hydroxylases-Prolyl-4-hydroxyases (PHDs) have been found to modulate the inflammatory processes. Here, the effects of PHDs enzyme onlipopolysaccharide-induced neuroinflammation and neurocognitive deficits were investigated. BV2 microglia cells were stimulated by LPS (1 μg/ml) as neuroinflammation model in vitro. Dimethyloxalylglycine (DMOG, 100 μM) and PHD3-siRNA were used to suppress the expression of PHD3. In vivo, mice received consecutive intraperitoneal injection of LPS (500 μg/kg) for 7 days, and intraperitoneal injection of DMOG (100 mg/kg) was applied 1 h before LPS at the same days. Several neurobehavioral tests (Open field, Novel object recognition and Morris water maze) were used to measure cognitive function. RT-qPCR and Western blotting were used to investigate the expression of inflammatory cytokines, HIF-PHDs protein. Metabolic reprogramming was measured by seahorse method. The results revealed that LPS induced neuroinflammation and PHD3 expression in vivo and vitro. DMOG and PHD3knockout decreased expression of inflammatory cytokines and improved the metabolic reprogramming caused by LPS treatment. Furthermore, pretreatment of DMOG reversed learning and memory deficits in systemic LPS-exposed mice through anti-neuroinflammation, which is independent of DMOG angiogenesis. These findings suggested that PHD3 may mediate LPS-induced microglial activation and neuroinflammation-associated neurobehavioral deficits.

[PMID: 34615473 PMCID: PMC8493047 DOI: 10.1186/s12883-021-02412-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2021] [Accepted: 09/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease involving the neuromuscular junction. Myasthenic crisis (MC), which is characterized by respiratory failure and the requirement of mechanical ventilation in patients with MG, is still a medical emergency despite the decrease in mortality with the advances in acute management. Hemogram is a cost-effective test for evaluating hematological complications and systemic inflammation, and hemogram data have been used to predict various clinical outcomes of several diseases. The relationship between hemogram and MG has been discussed, but the role of hemogram data in predicting the prognosis of MC patients has not been established. METHODS To identify whether hemogram data can predict in-hospital mortality in patients with MC, we retrospectively investigated 188 myasthenic crisis events from the Chang Gung Research Database between April 2001 and March 2019. Demographic and clinical characteristics were collected, as well as hemogram data before intubation and extubation. The endpoints were mortality during mechanical ventilation and mortality after extubation. RESULTS The overall in-hospital mortality rate was 22%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis for predicting mortality during mechanical ventilation showed that old age at MC onset (OR = 1.039, p = 0.022), moderate-to-severe anemia (OR = 5.851, p = 0.001), and extreme leukocytosis (OR = 5.659, p = 0.022) before intubation were strong predictors of mortality, while acute management with plasma exchange or double-filtration plasmapheresis (PE/DFPP) significantly decreased mortality (OR = 0.236, p = 0.012). For predicting mortality after extubation, moderate-to-severe anemia before extubation (OR = 8.452, p = 0.017) and non-treated with disease-modifying therapy before MC (OR = 5.459, p = 0.031) were crucial predictive factors. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that both old age at MC onset and moderate-to-severe anemia are important predictors of in-hospital mortality in patients with MC, and extreme leukocytosis is another crucial predictor of mortality during mechanical ventilation. The suggested mechanism is that anemia-induced hypoxia may enhance the release of proinflammatory cytokines, exacerbate systemic inflammation, and lead to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome and, finally, mortality.

Abstract
Critical illnesses including sepsis, acute respiratory distress syndromes, ischemic cardiovascular disorders and acute organ injuries are associated with high mortality, morbidity as well as significant health care system expenses. While these diverse conditions require different specific therapeutic approaches, mesenchymal stem/stromal cell (MSCs) are multipotent cells capable of self-renewal, tri-lineage differentiation with a broad range regenerative and immunomodulatory activities, making them attractive for the treatment of critical illness. The therapeutic effects of MSCs have been extensively investigated in several pre-clinical models of critical illness as well as in phase I and II clinical cell therapy trials with mixed results. Whilst these studies have demonstrated the therapeutic potential for MSC therapy in critical illness, optimization for clinical use is an ongoing challenge. MSCs can be readily genetically modified by application of different techniques and tools leading to overexpress or inhibit genes related to their immunomodulatory or regenerative functions. Here we will review recent approaches designed to enhance the therapeutic potential of MSCs with an emphasis on the technology used to generate genetically modified cells, target genes, target diseases and the implication of genetically modified MSCs in cell therapy for critical illness.

Abstract
Immune cell activation leads to the acquisition of new functions, such as proliferation, chemotaxis, and cytokine production. These functional changes require continuous metabolic adaption in order to sustain ATP homeostasis for sufficient host defense. The bioenergetic demands are usually met by the interconnected metabolic pathways glycolysis, TCA cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. Apart from glucose, other sources, such as fatty acids and glutamine, are able to fuel the TCA cycle.Rising evidence has shown that cellular metabolism has a direct effect on the regulation of immune cell functions. Thus, quiescent immune cells maintain a basal metabolic state, which shifts to an accelerated metabolic level upon immune cell activation in order to promote key effector functions.This review article summarizes distinct metabolic signatures of key immune cell subsets from quiescence to activation and demonstrates a methodical concept of how to assess cellular metabolic pathways. It further discusses why metabolic functions are of rising interest for translational research and how they can be affected by the underlying pathophysiological condition and/or therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Hypoxia plays an important role in the development of many infectious, inflammatory, and tumor diseases. The predisposition to such disorders is mostly provided by differences in basic tolerance to oxygen deficiency, which we discuss in this review. Except the direct exposure of different-severity hypoxia in decompression chambers or in highland conditions, there are no alternative methods for determining organism tolerance. Due to the variability of the detection methods, differences in many parameters between tolerant and susceptible organisms are still not well-characterized, but some of them can serve as biomarkers of susceptibility to hypoxia. At the moment, several potential biomarkers in conditions after hypoxic exposure have been identified both in experimental animals and humans. The main potential biomarkers are Hypoxia-Inducible Factor (HIF)-1, Heat-Shock Protein 70 (HSP70), and NO. Due to the different mechanisms of various high-altitude diseases, biomarkers may not be highly specific and universal. Therefore, it is extremely important to conduct research on hypoxia susceptibility biomarkers. Moreover, it is important to develop a method for the evaluation of organisms' basic hypoxia tolerance without the necessity of any oxygen deficiency exposure. This can contribute to new personalized medicine approaches' development for diagnostics and the treatment of inflammatory and tumor diseases, taking into account hypoxia tolerance differences.

Abstract
Anemia is a complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD), primarily due to insufficient secretion of erythropoietin (EPO) by the kidney. Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) are used to treat anemia associated with chronic kidney disease. A poor response to ESAs has been associated with inflammation. Inflammation can affect erythrocytes and its production in many ways, but mainly through the inflammatory cytokine IL-6 to stimulate the synthesis of hepcidin in the liver. Hepcidin causes iron insufficiency, which causes erythrocytes to fail to mature normally. In addition, inhibition of bone marrow erythroid precursor cells by inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1 and TNF-α also affects bone marrow hematopoiesis. These cytokines are also important factors leading to EPO resistance. Roxadustat is a new drug for the treatment of renal anemia. In addition to promoting the production of EPO, clinical trials have shown that it can significantly reduce hepcidin and can potentially be used for the treatment of inflammation-induced anemia in CKD.

Abstract
Phagocytosis is a complex process by which cells within most organ systems remove pathogens and cell debris. Phagocytosis is usually followed by inflammatory pathway activation, which promotes pathogen elimination and inhibits pathogen growth. Delayed pathogen elimination is the first step in sepsis development and a key factor in sepsis resolution. Phagocytosis thus has an important role during sepsis and likely contributes to all of its clinical stages. However, only a few studies have specifically explored and characterized phagocytic activity during sepsis. Here, we describe the phagocytic processes that occur as part of the immune response preceding sepsis onset and identify the elements of phagocytosis that might constitute a predictive marker of sepsis outcomes. First, we detail the key features of phagocytosis, including the main receptors and signaling hallmarks associated with different phagocytic processes. We then discuss how the initial events of phagosome formation and cytoskeletal remodeling might be associated with known sepsis features, such as a cytokine-driven hyperinflammatory response and immunosuppression. Finally, we highlight the unresolved mechanisms of sepsis development and progression and the need for cross-disciplinary approaches to link the clinical complexity of the disease with basic cellular and molecular mechanisms.

Abstract
Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury is a multifactorial syndrome in which inflammation and renal microcirculatory dysfunction play a profound role. Subsequently, renal tubule mitochondria reprioritize cellular functions to prevent further damage. Here, we investigated the putative protective effects of human recombinant alkaline phosphatase (recAP) during inhibition of mitochondrial respiration in conditionally immortalized human proximal tubule epithelial cells (ciPTEC). Full inhibition of mitochondrial oxygen consumption was obtained after 24h antimycin A treatment, which did not affect cell viability. While recAP did not affect the antimycin A-induced decreased oxygen consumption and increased hypoxia-inducible factor-1α or adrenomedullin gene expression levels, the antimycin A-induced increase of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-8 was attenuated. Antimycin A tended to induce the release of detrimental purines ATP and ADP, which reached statistical significance when antimycin A was co-incubated with lipopolysaccharide, and were completely converted into cytoprotective adenosine by recAP. As the adenosine A2A receptor was up-regulated after antimycin A exposure, an adenosine A2A receptor knockout ciPTEC cell line was generated in which recAP still provided protection. Together, recAP did not affect oxygen consumption but attenuated the inflammatory response during impaired mitochondrial function, an effect suggested to be mediated by dephosphorylating ATP and ADP into adenosine.

Abstract
Hyperoxia is common practice in the acute management of circulatory shock, and observational studies report that it is present in more than 50 % of mechanically ventilated patients during the first 24 h after intensive care unit (ICU) admission. On the other hand, "oxygen toxicity" due to the increased formation of reactive oxygen species limits its use due to serious deleterious side effects. However, formation of reactive oxygen species to boost bacterial killing is one of the body's anti-microbial auto-defense mechanisms and, hence, O2 has been referred to as an antibiotic. Consequently, hyperoxia during the peri-operative period has been advocated for surgical patients in order to reduce surgical site infection. However, there is ample evidence that long-term exposure to hyperoxia impaired bacterial phagocytosis and thereby aggravated both bacterial burden and dissemination. Moreover, a recent retrospective study identified the number of days with hyperoxia, defined as a PaO2 > 120 mmHg only, as an independent risk factor of ventilator-associated pneumonia in patients needing mechanical ventilation for more than 48 h. Since so far the optimal oxygenation target is unknown for ICU patients, "conservative" O2 therapy represents the treatment of choice to avoid exposure to both hypoxemia and excess hyperoxemia.
