Hao JW, Liu HS, Liu LY, Zhang QH. Citrus pectin protects mice from burn injury by modulating intestinal microbiota, GLP-1 secretion and immune response. Int Immunopharmacol 2024; 131:111912. [PMID: 38522140 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2024.111912] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2024] [Revised: 03/18/2024] [Accepted: 03/20/2024] [Indexed: 03/26/2024]
Abstract
Water-soluble rhamnogalacturonan-I enriched citrus pectin (WRP) has promising effect on antimicrobial defense. We aim to determine whether the modified acidic (A) or neutral (B) WRP solutions can improve intestinal microbial dysbiosis in burn-injured mice. Male Balb/c mice were gavaged with WRPs at 80, 160, 320 mg/kg. Body weight daily for 21 days before exposed to thermal injury of 15 % total body surface area and mortality was monitored. Mice with 80 mg/kg WRPs were also subjected to fecal DNAs and T cell metabonomics analysis, intestinal and plasma glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) detection, plasma defensin, immunoglobin and intestinal barrier examinations at 1 and 3d postburn (p.b.). Burn-induced mortality was only improved by low dose WRP-A (P = 0.039). Both WRPs could prevent the dysbiosis of gut microbiota in burn injury by reducing the expansion of inflammation-promoting bacteria. Both WRPs suppressed ileum GLP-1 production at 1d p.b. (P = 0.002) and plasma GLP-1 levels at 3d p.b. (P = 0.013). Plasma GLP-1 level correlated closely with ileum GLP-1 production (P = 0.019) but negatively with microbiota diversity at 1d p.b. (P = 0.003). Intestinal T cell number was increased by both WRPs in jejunum at 3d p.b. However, the exaggerated splenic T cell metabolism in burn injury was reversed by both WRPs at 1d p.b. The burn-increased plasma defensin β1 level was only reduced by WRP-B. Similarly, the intestinal barrier permeability was only rescued by WRP-B at 1d p.b. WRP-A rather than WRP-B could reduce burn-induced mortality in mice by suppressing intestinal GLP-1 secretion, restoring gut microbiota dysbiosis and improving adaptive immune response.

Abstract
Ubiquitin-binding associated protein 2 (UBAP2) is reported to promote macropinocytosis and pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) growth, however, its role in normal pancreatic function remains unknown. We addressed this knowledge gap by generating UBAP2 knockout (U2KO) mice under a pancreas-specific Cre recombinase (Pdx1-Cre). Pancreatic architecture remained intact in U2KO animals, but they demonstrated slight glucose intolerance compared to controls. Upon cerulein challenge to induce pancreatitis, U2KO animals had reduced levels of several pancreatitis-relevant cytokines, amylase and lipase in the serum, reduced tissue damage, and lessened neutrophil infiltration into the pancreatic tissue. Mechanistically, cerulein-challenged U2KO animals revealed reduced NF-κB activation compared to controls. In vitro promoter binding studies confirmed the reduction of NF-κB binding to its target molecules supporting UBAP2 as a new regulator of inflammation in pancreatitis and may be exploited as a therapeutic target in future to inhibit pancreatitis.

Abstract
Insulin release is tightly controlled by glucose-stimulated calcium (GSCa) through hitherto equivocal pathways. This study investigates TRPC3, a non-selective cation channel, as a critical regulator of insulin secretion and glucose control. TRPC3's involvement in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) is studied in human and animal islets. TRPC3-dependent in vivo insulin secretion is investigated using pharmacological tools and Trpc3-/- mice. TRPC3's involvement in islet glucose uptake and GSCa is explored using fluorescent glucose analogue 2-[N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl) amino]-2-deoxy-D-glucose and calcium imaging. TRPC3 modulation by a small-molecule activator, GSK1702934A, is evaluated in type 2 diabetic mice. TRPC3 is functionally expressed in human and mouse islet beta cells. TRPC3-controlled insulin secretion is KATP -independent and primarily mediated by diacylglycerol channel regulation of the cytosolic calcium oscillations following glucose stimulation. Conversely, glucose uptake in islets is independent of TRPC3. TRPC3 pharmacologic inhibition and knockout in mice lead to defective insulin secretion and glucose intolerance. Subsequently, TRPC3 activation through targeted small-molecule enhances insulin secretion and alleviates diabetes hallmarks in animals. This study imputes a function for TRPC3 at the onset of GSIS. These insights strengthen one's knowledge of insulin secretion physiology and set forth the TRPC3 channel as an appealing candidate for drug development in the treatment of diabetes.

Abstract
AIM To establish the impact of sex, dosing route, fasting duration and acute habituation stress on glucose tolerance test (GTT) measurements used in the preclinical evaluation of potential glucose-modulating therapeutics. METHODS Adult male and female C57Bl/6J mice, implanted with HD-XG glucose telemetry devices, were fasted for 16 hours or 6 hours following acute habituation stress due to whole cage change, cage change with retention of used bedding or no cage change prior to intraperitoneal (IP) GTTs. To evaluate protocol refinement and sex on the ability of the GTT to detect drug effects, we administered 250 mg/kg oral metformin or 10 nmol/kg IP exendin-4 using optimized protocols. RESULTS Female mice were less sensitive to human intervention when initiating fasting. Following a 6-hour fast, retention of bedding whilst changing the cage base promotes quicker stabilization of basal blood glucose in both sexes. Prolonged fasting for 16 hours resulted in an exaggerated GTT response but induced pronounced basal hypoglycaemia. Following GTT protocol optimization the effect of exendin-4 and metformin was equivalent in both sexes, with females showing a more modest but more reproducible GTT response. CONCLUSIONS Variations in GTT protocol have profound effects on glucose homeostasis. Protocol refinement and/or the use of females still allows for detection of drug effects, providing evidence that more severe phenotypes are not an essential prerequisite when characterizing/validating new drugs.

Abstract
The goal of this study was to determine what effect obese body weight and a burn injury can have on the metabolism of glucose and lipids in rats. We used a 3 * 3 factorial model design to provide basic glucose and lipid metabolic data characterizing the interaction between different weight and burn injury groups. Two hundred Sprague Dawley rats were categorized into three weight groups (normal, overweight, obese) and then further divided into control, second-degree, and third-degree burn groups. Our model compared interactions between weight and burn injury factors according to the above groups. Blood glucose and lipid metabolism indicators were monitored on the 1st, 3rd, 7th, and 14th days after burn injury occurred, and burned skin and blood samples were collected for testing. Compared with the normal weight group, the overweight group's fast blood glucose, fast insulin, and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance were higher (P < .05), and FBG in the obese group was higher than the normal weight group (P < .05). Burn injuries combined with obese body weight had an interactive effect on fast blood glucose, fast insulin, and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance after burn injury (P < .05). Burn injury combined with obese body weight had an interaction on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol on the 3rd day after burn injury (P < .05). Burn injury combined with obese weight had no interaction on triglyceride, total cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (P > .05). Rats in the overweight and obese weight groups were observed to develop an adaptation and tolerance to a higher metabolic rate after burn injuries occurred.

Abstract
Background Several animal models are continually being developed to study diabetic complication. Several conflicting regimen for diabetes induction exist in the literature with varying dose strength and regimen for different study interest in diabetes. This study aims to show the effect of high dose streptozotocin (STZ) on the one hand compared with multiple low doses after high fat diet induction on diabetic cardiac autonomic neuropathy (DCAN). Methodology Eighty-four Wistar rats were used to demonstrate DCAN induction using 2 approaches one for T1DM (STZ 50mg/kg) and the other for T2DM (HFD for 8 weeks with STZ 25mg/Kg daily for five days). DCAN features were assessed using invasive biomarkers, histology patterns and cardiac nerve densities. Results Diabetes induction rate was 76% and 89% in T1DM and T2DM model respectively. T1DM group had significant weight loss, reduced c-peptide, and insulin level post induction. The T2DM additionally showed significantly higher total cholesterol and Homeostatic model assessment (HOMA) compared with control. Serum levels of catecholamine, choactase, nerve growth factor and cardiac nerve density confirms development of DCAN. Conclusion High single dose of STZ and HFD with multiple low doses of STZ may be recommended for DCAN study in T1DM and T2DM rat model respectively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although glucagon-like peptide 1 levels have been closely associated with inflammation and mortality in septic patients, the clinical importance of glucagon-like peptide 1 on hospital-acquired infections and long-term mortality after burn injury remains unexplored. METHODS Plasma samples from 144 burn patients were collected on admission to determine total glucagon-like peptide 1, interleukin 6, and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 levels. Hospital-acquired infections were determined by positive microbial culture. One-year mortality was assessed by telephone interview. Factors associated with glucagon-like peptide 1 were determined by multivariable linear logistic regression. Predicting the clinical importance of glucagon-like peptide 1 on the development of hospital-acquired infections and mortality were determined by Cox proportional hazards models and further by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Kaplan-Meier analyses were performed to examine whether the mean glucagon-like peptide 1 level of the cohort could discriminate the hospital-acquired infections-free survival. RESULTS Median burn size was 41% (19%-70%) of total body surface area. Hospital-acquired infections developed in 36 (25%) patients after a mean of 10 ± 1 days after injury. Interleukin 6, monocyte chemotactic protein-1, and blood urea nitrogen levels and thrombin time were independently associated with increased glucagon-like peptide 1 levels. Levels of glucagon-like peptide 1 (median, interquartile range) were greater in patients who developed hospital-acquired infections than in those who did not (237 pmol/L, 76-524 vs 80 pmol/L, 51-158; P < .001) and in patients who died (536 pmol/L, interquartile range: 336-891 pmol vs 98 pmol/L, 47-189; P < .001). Although the glucagon-like peptide 1 level could not predict hospital-acquired infections-free survival in individual patients, it could predict 1-year mortality independently (P = .021). Moreover, a glucagon-like peptide 1 level of 200 pmol/L could discriminate hospital-acquired infections-free survival (P < .001). CONCLUSION Admission glucagon-like peptide 1 level can discriminate hospital-acquired infections-free survival and predict long-term mortality in a group of patients with burn injury. Our data suggests that glucagon-like peptide 1 may be a predictive biomarker for hospital-acquired infections and mortality in burn patients.

Exendin-4 Exacerbates Burn-Induced Morbidity in Mice by Activation of the Sympathetic Nervous System. Mediators Inflamm 2019; 2019:2750528. [PMID: 30800001 PMCID: PMC6360064 DOI: 10.1155/2019/2750528] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2018] [Revised: 11/19/2018] [Accepted: 12/05/2018] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Although glucagon-like peptide 1- (GLP-1-) based therapy of hyperglycemia in burn injury has shown great potential in clinical trials, its safety is seldom evaluated. We hypothesize that exendin-4, a GLP-1 analogue, might affect the immune response via the activation of the sympathetic nervous system in burn injury. Methods Male Balb/c mice were subjected to sham or thermal injury of 15% total body surface area. Exendin-4 on T cell function in vitro was examined in cultured splenocytes in the presence of β-adrenoceptor antagonist propranolol (1 nmol/L) or GLP-1R antagonist exendin (9-39) (1 μmol/L), whereas its in vivo effect was determined by i.p. injection of exendin-4 (2.4 nmol/kg) in mice. To further elucidate the sympathetic mechanism, propranolol (30 mg/kg) or vehicle was applied 30 min prior to injury. Results Although the exacerbated burn-induced mortality by exendin-4 was worsened by propranolol pretreatment, the inhibition of T cell proliferation by exendin-4 in vitro could be restored by propranolol instead of exendin (9-39). However, a Th2 switch by exendin-4 in vitro could only be reversed by exendin (9-39). Likewise, the inhibition of splenic T cell function and NFAT activity by exendin-4 in vivo was restored by propranolol. By contrast, the increased splenic NF-κB translocation by exendin-4 in vivo was potentiated by propranolol in sham mice but suppressed in burn mice. Accordingly, propranolol abrogated the heightened inflammatory response in the lung and the accelerated organ injuries by exendin-4 in burn mice. On the contrary, a Th2 switch and higher serum levels of inflammatory mediators by exendin-4 were potentiated by propranolol in burn mice. Lastly, exendin-4 raised serum stress hormones which could be remarkably augmented by propranolol. Conclusions Exendin-4 suppresses T cell function and promotes organ inflammation through the activation of the sympathetic nervous system, while elicits Th2 switch via GLP-1R in burn injury.

Inflamm Res 2017; 67:157-168. [PMID: 29022064 DOI: 10.1007/s00011-017-1104-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2017] [Revised: 09/26/2017] [Accepted: 09/30/2017] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)-based therapy via G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) GLP-1R, to attenuate hyperglycemia in critical care has attracted great attention. However, the exaggerated inflammation by GLP-1R agonist, Exendin-4, in a mouse model of burn injury was quite unexpected. Recent studies found that GPCR might elicit proinflammatory effects by switching from Gαs to Gαi signaling in the immune system. Thus, we aimed to investigate the possible Gαs to Gαi switch in GLP-1R signaling in monocyte following burn injury. MATERIALS AND METHODS Splenic monocytes from sham and burn mice 24 h following burn injury were treated with consecutive doses of Exendin-4 alone or in combination with an inhibitor of Gαi signaling (pertussis toxin, PTX), or a blocker of protein kinase A (H89). Cell viability was assessed by CCK-8, and the supernatant was collected for cytokine measurement by ELISA. Intracellular cAMP level, phosphorylated PKA activity, and nuclear NF-κB p65 were determined by ELISA, ERK1/2 activation was analyzed by Western blot. The expression of GLP-1R downstream molecules, Gαs, Gαi and G-protein coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) were examined by immunofluorescence staining and Western blot. RESULTS Exendin-4 could inhibit the viability of monocyte from sham rather than burn mice. Unexpectedly, it could also reduce TNF-α secretion from sham monocyte while increase it from burn monocyte. The increased secretion of TNF-α by Exendin-4 from burn monocyte could be reversed by pretreatment of PTX or H89. Accordingly, Exendin-4 could stimulates cAMP production dose dependently from sham instead of burn monocyte. However, the blunt cAMP production from burn monocyte was further suppressed by pretreatment of PTX or H89 after 6-h incubation. Nevertheless, phosphorylated PKA activity was significantly increased by low dose of Exendin-4 in sham monocyte, by contrast, it was enhanced by high dose of Exendin-4 in burn monocyte after 1-h incubation. Following Exendin-4 treatment for 2 h ex vivo, total nuclear NF-κB and phosphorylated NF-κB activity, as well as cytoplasmic pERK1/2 expressions were reduced in sham monocyte, however, only pERK1/2 was increased by Exendin-4 in burn monocytes. Moreover, reduced expressions of GLP-1R, GRK-2 and Gαs in contrast with increased expression of Gαi were identified in burn monocyte relative to sham monocyte. CONCLUSIONS This study presents an unexpected proinflammatory switch from Gαs to Gαi signaling in burn monocyte, which promotes ERK1/2 and NF-κB activation and the downstream TNF-α secretion. This phenomenon is most probably responsible for proinflammatory response evoked by Gαs agonist Exendin-4 following burn injury.
