Endothelial α 1-adrenergic receptor activation improves cardiac function in septic mice via PKC-ERK/p38MAPK signaling pathway. Int Immunopharmacol 2024; 141:112937.

Abstract
Cardiomyopathy is particularly common in septic patients. Our previous studies have shown that activation of the alpha 1 adrenergic receptor (α1-AR) on cardiomyocytes inhibits sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction. However, the role of cardiac endothelial α1-AR in septic cardiomyopathy has not been determined. Here, we identified α1-AR expression in mouse and human endothelial cells and showed that activation of α1-AR with phenylephrine (PE) improved cardiac function and survival by preventing cardiac endothelial injury in septic mice. Mechanistically, activating α1-AR with PE decreased the expression of ICAM-1, VCAM-1, iNOS, E-selectin, and p-p38MAPK, while promoting PKC and ERK1/2 phosphorylation in LPS-treated endothelial cells. These effects were abolished by a PKC inhibitor or α1-AR antagonist. PE also reduced p65 nuclear translocation, but this suppression is not blocked by PKC inhibition. Treatment with U0126 (a specific ERK1/2 inhibitor) reversed the effects of PE on p38MAPK phosphorylation. Our results demonstrate that cardiac endothelial α1-AR activation prevents sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction in mice by inhibiting the endothelial injury via PKC-ERK/p38MAPK signaling pathway and a PKC-independent inhibition of p65 nuclear translocation. These findings offer a new perspective for septic patients with cardiac dysfunction by inhibiting cardiac endothelial cell injury through α1-AR activation.

Abstract
ABSTRACT β 3 -adrenergic receptor (β 3 -AR) has been proposed as a new therapy for several myocardial diseases. However, the effect of β 3 -AR activation on sepsis-induced myocardial apoptosis is unclear. Here, we investigated the effect of β 3 -AR activation on the cardiomyocyte apoptosis and cardiac dysfunction in cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-operated rats and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated cardiomyocytes. We found that β 3 -AR existed both in adult rat ventricular myocytes (ARVMs) and H9c2 cells. The expression of β 3 -AR was upregulated in LPS-treated ARVMs and the heart of CLP rats. Pretreatment with β 3 -AR agonist, BRL37344, inhibited LPS-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis and caspase-3, -8, and -9 activation in ARVMs. BRL37344 also reduced apoptosis and increased the protein levels of PI3K, p-Akt Ser473 and p-eNOS Ser1177 in LPS-treated H9c2 cells. Inhibition of PI3K using LY294002 abolished the inhibitory effect of BRL37344 on LPS-induced caspase-3, -8, and -9 activation in H9c2 cells. Furthermore, administration of β 3 -AR antagonist, SR59230A (5 mg/kg), significantly decreased the maximum rate of left ventricular pressure rise (+dP/dt) in CLP-induced septic rats. SR59230A not only increased myocardial apoptosis, reduced p-Akt Ser473 and Bcl-2 contents, but also increased mitochondrial Bax, cytoplasm cytochrome c, cleaved caspase-9, and cleaved caspase-3 levels of the myocardium in septic rats. These results suggest that endogenous β 3 -AR activation alleviates sepsis-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis via PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and maintains intrinsic myocardial systolic function in sepsis.

Abstract
Sympathetic stress is prevalent in cardiovascular diseases. Sympathetic overactivation under strong acute stresses triggers acute cardiovascular events including myocardial infarction (MI), sudden cardiac death, and stress cardiomyopathy. α1-ARs and β-ARs, two dominant subtypes of adrenergic receptors in the heart, play a significant role in the physiological and pathologic regulation of these processes. However, little is known about the functional similarities and differences between α1- and β-ARs activated temporal responses in stress-induced cardiac pathology. In this work, we systematically compared the cardiac temporal genome-wide profiles of acute α1-AR and β-AR activation in the mice model by integrating transcriptome and proteome. We found that α1- and β-AR activations induced sustained and transient inflammatory gene expression, respectively. Particularly, the overactivation of α1-AR but not β-AR led to neutrophil infiltration at one day, which was closely associated with the up-regulation of chemokines, activation of NF-κB pathway, and sustained inflammatory response. Furthermore, there are more metabolic disorders under α1-AR overactivation compared with β-AR overactivation. These findings provide a new therapeutic strategy that, besides using β-blocker as soon as possible, blocking α1-AR within one day should also be considered in the treatment of acute stress-associated cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Introduction Catecholamines such as norepinephrine or epinephrine have been reported to participate in the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) by activating adrenergic receptors (ARs). But the role of α1-AR in this process has yet to be elucidated. Methods In this study, ARDS mouse model was induced by intratracheal instillation of lipopolysaccharide. After treatment with α1-AR agonist phenylephrine or antagonist prazosin, lung pathological injury, alveolar barrier disruption and inflammation, and haemodynamic changes were evaluated. Cytokine levels and cell viability of alveolar macrophages were measured in vitro. Nuclear factor κB (NF-κB), mitogen-activated protein kinase, and Akt signalling pathways were analysed by western blot. Results It showed that α1-AR activation alleviated lung injuries, including reduced histopathological damage, cytokine expression, and inflammatory cell infiltration, and improved alveolar capillary barrier integrity of ARDS mice without influencing cardiovascular haemodynamics. In vitro experiments suggested that α1-AR stimulation inhibited secretion of TNF-α, IL-6, CXCL2/MIP-2, and promoted IL-10 secretion, but did not affect cell viability. Moreover, α1-AR stimulation inhibited NF-κB and enhanced ERK1/2 activation without significantly influencing p38, JNK, or Akt activation. Discussion Our studies reveal that α1-AR stimulation could ameliorate lipopolysaccharide-induced lung injury by inhibiting NF-κB and promoting ERK1/2 to suppress excessive inflammatory responses of alveolar macrophages.

Abstract
Sepsis is a public health problem worldwide. This study investigated the mechanism of miR-107 on sepsis-induced myocardial injury. Sepsis rat models were established by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP), and the cell model was established using lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cardiomyocytes. Cardiac function indexes of rats were measured using echocardiography. Pathological changes in the rat myocardium were observed using histological staining. Expression of miR-107 in the serum of rats and in cardiomyocytes was detected after the treatment with miR-107 mimic and/or pcDNA3.1-PTEN, followed by assessment of cell cycle, proliferation, and apoptosis. Binding sites of miR-107 and PTEN were predicted. PTEN, PI3K, p-PI3K, AKT, and p-AKT levels in LPS-induced cardiomyocytes were measured. miR-107 was significantly downregulated in the serum of CLP rats and LPS-induced cardiomyocytes. miR-107 overexpression remarkably improved cardiac function and histological changes, decreased inflammatory factors, and alleviated the sepsis-induced myocardial injury in rats. In LPS-induced cardiomyocytes, miR-107 overexpression increased cardiomyocyte proliferation, inhibited apoptosis, and enhanced the proportion of cardiomyocytes arrested in S and G2/M phases. miR-107 targeted PTEN. PTEN overexpression partially reversed the inhibition of miR-107 mimic on cardiomyocyte apoptosis. miR-107 overexpression activated the PI3K/AKT pathway by inhibiting PTEN. To conclude, miR-107 activates the PI3K/AKT pathway by inhibiting PTEN, thus attenuating sepsis-induced myocardial injury and LPS-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Verbascoside (VB), as an active component of multiple medicinal plants, has been proved to exert anti-oxidative, anti-aging and neuroprotective effects. This study was designed to investigate whether VB could play a cardioprotective role in septic heart injury. METHODS Mice were injected with lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 10 mg/kg) to induce sepsis. The treatment group received an intraperitoneally injection of VB (20 mg/kg) before LPS challenge. Transthoracic echocardiography, ELISA, immunofluorescence, and qPCR were performed to assess the effect of VB on heart function, oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis. Transmission electronic microscopy and immunoblotting were used to evaluate the mitochondrial morphology and biogenesis of the septic heart. In vitro experiments were also performed to repeat above-mentioned assays. RESULTS Compared with LPS group, the VB treatment group showed improved cardiac function in sepsis. VB alleviated oxidative stress and inflammatory cell infiltration, as well as cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Specifically, VB could restore sepsis-induced mitochondrial alterations via regulating mitochondrial biogenesis. These results were also confirmed in in vitro experiments. CONCLUSION Verbascoside could protected from sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy by inhibiting oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis, as well as promoting mitochondrial biogenesis.

Abstract
Dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) of the brain in sepsis can cause severe systemic inflammation and even death. Numerous data confirmed the role of ANS dysfunction in the occurrence, course, and outcome of systemic sepsis. The parasympathetic part of the ANS modifies the inflammation through cholinergic receptors of internal organs, macrophages, and lymphocytes (the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway). The sympathetic part of ANS controls the activity of macrophages and lymphocytes by influencing β2-adrenergic receptors, causing the activation of intracellular genes encoding the synthesis of cytokines (anti-inflammatory beta2-adrenergic receptor interleukin-10 pathway, β2AR–IL-10). The interaction of ANS with infectious agents and the immune system ensures the maintenance of homeostasis or the appearance of a critical generalized infection. During inflammation, the ANS participates in the inflammatory response by releasing sympathetic or parasympathetic neurotransmitters and neuropeptides. It is extremely important to determine the functional state of the ANS in critical conditions, since both cholinergic and sympathomimetic agents can act as either anti- or pro-inflammatory stimuli.

Abstract
Reticulophagy regulator 1 (RETEG1, also known as FAM134B) plays a crucial role in endoplasmic reticulum autophagy. We aimed to explore the effect of FAM134B-mediated endoplasmic reticulum autophagy in sepsis myocardial injury in mice. Sepsis myocardial injury mice were established via cecal ligation and puncture procedures. The expression of FAM134B and LC3-II/I was determined using immunohistochemistry. Myocardial tissue morphological changes and apoptosis were examined using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and TUNEL analysis. The effects of FAM134B knockdown or overexpression on mice with sepsis myocardial injury were also studied. The levels of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10 were evaluated using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Autophagy- and apoptosis-related protein expression was detected using western blotting. The effect of FAM134B on Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) -induced cardiomyocytes was also studied. The expression of FAM134B and LC3-II/I increased in sepsis mice and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated cardiomyocytes. 3-Methyladenine (3-MA) significantly inhibited FAM134B and LC3-II/I expression and promoted myocardial injury, inflammation response, and cardiomyocyte apoptosis. The overexpression of FAM134B could minimize myocardial injury, inflammation, and apoptosis, whereas FAM134B knockdown showed opposite effects. FAM134B-mediated endoplasmic reticulum autophagy had a protective effect on sepsis myocardial injury in mice by reducing inflammation and tissue apoptosis, which may provide new insights for sepsis myocardial injury therapies.

Phenylephrine impairs host defence mechanisms to infection: a combined laboratory study in mice and translational human study. Br J Anaesth 2021; 126:652-664. [PMID: 33483132 DOI: 10.1016/j.bja.2020.11.040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2020] [Revised: 11/20/2020] [Accepted: 11/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Immunosuppression after surgery is associated with postoperative complications, mediated in part by catecholamines that exert anti-inflammatory effects via the β-adrenergic receptor. Phenylephrine, generally regarded as a selective α-adrenergic agonist, is frequently used to treat perioperative hypotension. However, phenylephrine may impair host defence through β-adrenergic affinity. METHODS Human leukocytes were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in the presence or absence of phenylephrine and α- and β-adrenergic antagonists. C57BL/6J male mice received continuous infusion of phenylephrine (30-50 μg kg-1 min-1 i.v.) or saline via micro-osmotic pumps, before LPS administration (5 mg kg-1 i.v.) or caecal ligation and puncture (CLP). Twenty healthy males were randomised to a 5 h infusion of phenylephrine (0.5 μg kg-1 min-1) or saline before receiving LPS (2 ng kg-1 i.v.). RESULTS In vitro, phenylephrine enhanced LPS-induced production of the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-10 (maximum augmentation of 93%) while attenuating the release of pro-inflammatory mediators. These effects were reversed by pre-incubation with β-antagonists, but not α-antagonists. Plasma IL-10 levels were higher in LPS-challenged mice infused with phenylephrine, whereas pro-inflammatory mediators were reduced. Phenylephrine infusion increased bacterial counts after CLP in peritoneal fluid (+42%, P=0.0069), spleen (+59%, P=0.04), and liver (+35%, P=0.09). In healthy volunteers, phenylephrine enhanced the LPS-induced IL-10 response (+76%, P=0.0008) while attenuating plasma concentrations of pro-inflammatory mediators including IL-8 (-15%, P=0.03). CONCLUSIONS Phenylephrine exerts potent anti-inflammatory effects, possibly involving the β-adrenoreceptor. Phenylephrine promotes bacterial outgrowth after surgical peritonitis. Phenylephrine may therefore compromise host defence in surgical patients and increase susceptibility towards infection. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT02675868 (Clinicaltrials.gov).

Xin Y, Tang L, Chen J, Chen D, Wen W, Han F. Inhibition of miR‑101‑3p protects against sepsis‑induced myocardial injury by inhibiting MAPK and NF‑κB pathway activation via the upregulation of DUSP1. Int J Mol Med 2021; 47:20. [PMID: 33448324 PMCID: PMC7849984 DOI: 10.3892/ijmm.2021.4853] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2020] [Accepted: 10/05/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Numerous studies have found that microRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) are aberrantly expressed when sepsis occurs. The present study aimed to investigate the role of miR-101-3p in sepsis-induced myocardial injury and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Models of myocardial injury were established both in vivo and in vitro. The results revealed that miR-101-3p was upregulated in the serum of patients with sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy (SIC) and positively correlated with the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (including IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α). Subsequently, rats were treated with miR-101-3p inhibitor to suppress miR-101-3p and were then exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The results revealed that LPS induced marked cardiac dysfunction, apoptosis and inflammation. The inhibition of miR-101-3p markedly attenuated sepsis-induced myocardial injury by attenuating apoptosis and the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Mechanistically, dual specificity phosphatase-1 (DUSP1) was found to be a functional target of miR-101-3p. The downregulation of miR-101-3p led to the overexpression of DUSP1, and the inactivation of the MAPK p38 and NF-κB pathways. Moreover, blocking DUSP1 by short hairpin RNA against DUSP1 (sh-DUSP1) significantly reduced the myocardial protective effects mediated by the inhibition of miR-101-3p. Collectively, the findings of the present study demonstrate that the inhibition of miR-101-3p exerts cardioprotective effects by suppressing MAPK p38 and NF-κB pathway activation, and thus attenuating inflammation and apoptosis dependently by enhancing DUSP1 expression.

Valproic acid attenuates sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction in rats by accelerating autophagy through the PTEN/AKT/mTOR pathway. Life Sci 2019; 232:116613. [PMID: 31265853 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2019.116613] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2019] [Revised: 06/27/2019] [Accepted: 06/27/2019] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
AIMS Sepsis is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Autophagy may play a protective role in sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction (SIMD). The present study investigated whether valproic acid (VPA), a class I histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, can attenuate SIMD by accelerating autophagy. MAIN METHODS A sepsis model was established via the cecum ligation and puncture of male Sprague-Dawley rats. Cardiac injuries were measured using serum markers, echocardiographic cardiac parameters, and hematoxylin and eosin staining. Cardiac mitochondria injuries were detected with transmission electron microscopy, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and cardiac mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) contents. Cardiac oxidative levels were measured using redox markers in the cardiac homogenate. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot were performed to detect the expression levels of relative genes and proteins. HDAC binding to the phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten (PTEN) promoters and histone acetylation levels of the PTEN promoters were analyzed via chromatin immunoprecipitation and quantitative RT-PCR. KEY FINDINGS VPA can ameliorate SIMD by enhancing the autophagy level of the myocardium to reduce mitochondrial damage, oxidative stress, and myocardial inflammation in septic rats. Moreover, this study demonstrated that VPA induces autophagy by inhibiting HDAC1- and HDAC3-mediated PTEN expression in the myocardial tissues of septic rats. SIGNIFICANCE This study found that VPA attenuates SIMD through myocardial autophagy acceleration by increasing PTEN expression and inhibiting the AKT/mTOR pathway. These findings preliminarily suggest that VPA may be a potential approach for the intervention and treatment of SIMD.
