Abstract
Background Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is accompanied with acute onset, rapid progression, and complicated condition. Sepsis is a common complication of SAP with a high mortality rate. This research aimed to identify the shared hub genes and key pathways of SAP and sepsis, and to explore their functions, molecular mechanism, and clinical value. Methods We obtained SAP and sepsis datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and employed differential expression analysis and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) to identify the shared differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Functional enrichment analysis and protein-protein interaction (PPI) was used on shared DEGs to reveal underlying mechanisms in SAP-associated sepsis. Machine learning methods including random forest (RF), least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and support vector machine recursive feature elimination (SVM-RFE) were adopted for screening hub genes. Then, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and nomogram were applied to evaluate the diagnostic performance. Finally, immune cell infiltration analysis was conducted to go deeply into the immunological landscape of sepsis. Result We obtained a total of 123 DEGs through cross analysis between Differential expression analysis and WGCNA important module. The Gene Ontology (GO) analysis uncovered the shared genes exhibited a significant enrichment in regulation of inflammatory response. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis revealed that the shared genes were primarily involved in immunoregulation by conducting NOD-like receptor (NLR) signaling pathway. Three machine learning results revealed that two overlapping genes (ARG1, HP) were identified as shared hub genes for SAP and sepsis. The immune infiltration results showed that immune cells played crucial part in the pathogenesis of sepsis and the two hub genes were substantially associated with immune cells, which may be a therapy target. Conclusion ARG1 and HP may affect SAP and sepsis by regulating inflammation and immune responses, shedding light on potential future diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for SAP-associated sepsis.

Hepatobiliary Pancreat Dis Int 2024; 23:300-309. [PMID: 38057185 DOI: 10.1016/j.hbpd.2023.11.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2022] [Accepted: 11/17/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) has been linked to the severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) prognosis, although the underlying mechanism remains unclear. It has been reported that pyroptosis worsens SAP. The present study aimed to verify whether mesenteric adipose tissue (MAT, a component of VAT) can cause secondary intestinal injury through the pyroptotic pathway. METHODS Thirty-six male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were divided into six different groups. Twelve rats were randomly divided into the SAP and control groups. We monitored the changes of MAT and B lymphocytes infiltration in MAT of SAP rats. Twelve SAP rats were injected with MAT B lymphocytes or phosphate buffer solution (PBS). The remaining twelve SAP rats were first injected with MAT B lymphocytes, and then with MCC950 (NLRP3 inhibitor) or PBS. We collected blood and tissue samples from pancreas, gut and MAT for analysis. RESULTS Compared to the control rats, the SAP group showed inflammation in MAT, including higher expression of tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), lower expression of IL-10, and histological changes. Flow cytometry analysis revealed B lymphocytes infiltration in MAT but not T lymphocytes and macrophages. The SAP rats also exhibited intestinal injury, characterized by lower expression of zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) and occludin, higher levels of lipopolysaccharide and diamine oxidase, and pathological changes. The expression of NLRP3 and n-GSDMD, which are responsible for pyroptosis, was increased in the intestine of SAP rats. The injection of MAT B lymphocytes into SAP rats exacerbated the inflammation in MAT. The upregulation of pyroptosis reduced tight junction in the intestine, which contributed to the SAP progression, including higher inflammatory indicators and worse histological changes. The administration of MCC950 to SAP + MAT B rats downregulated pyroptosis, which subsequently improved the intestinal barrier and ameliorated inflammatory response of SAP. CONCLUSIONS In SAP, MAT B lymphocytes aggravated local inflammation, and promoted the injury to the intestine through the enteric pyroptotic pathway.

Front Pharmacol 2023; 14:1090261. [PMID: 36713830 PMCID: PMC9881748 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2023.1090261] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2022] [Accepted: 01/02/2023] [Indexed: 01/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: In this study, we examined the functions and mechanisms by which naringenin protects against SAP (severe acute pancreatitis)-related intestinal injury by modulating the AhR/NLRP3 signaling pathway. Material and methods: Fifteen healthy male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into SAP (n = 12) and normal (n = 3) groups. Mice in the SAP group received caerulein and lipopolysaccharide intraperitoneal injections and were then randomly assigned to the SAP, NAR, CH223191, and Dexamethasone (DEX) groups. Pathological changes in the pancreatic and intestinal mucosa were observed by Hematoxylin & Eosin (H&E) staining. In vitro, RAW264.7 cells were exposed to lipopolysaccharide and treated with naringenin. The levels of NLRP3, AhR, IL-1β, TNF, and IL-6 in the SAP model and RAW264.7 cells were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), western blot, and immunohistochemistry. The nuclear translocation of AhR was shown by immunofluorescence. AutoDockTools was used to predict the conformations of naringenin-AhR binding, and PyMol 2.4 was used to visualize the conformations. Results: Mouse pancreatic and intestinal injury was alleviated by treatment with naringenin. Naringenin inhibited the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and inhibited damage to intestinal tight junctions. Moreover, naringenin increased AhR nuclear translocation and activated the AhR pathway. Conclusion: Naringenin can reduce SAP-associated intestinal injury by inhibiting the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome via the AhR signaling pathway.

Gut Microbiota-Derived Diaminopimelic Acid Promotes the NOD1/RIP2 Signaling Pathway and Plays a Key Role in the Progression of Severe Acute Pancreatitis. Front Cell Infect Microbiol 2022; 12:838340. [PMID: 35811665 PMCID: PMC9257083 DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2022.838340] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2021] [Accepted: 05/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Impaired intestinal barrier function and gut microbiota dysbiosis are believed to be related to exacerbation of acute pancreatitis (AP). As a bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan component, diaminopimelic acid (DAP) is a specific ligand of NOD1 that regulates the NOD1/RIP2/NF-kB signaling pathway. Here, we investigated the role of DAP in the crosstalk between the gut microbiota and pancreas during the occurrence of AP. Upregulation of NOD1/RIP2/NF-kB and elevated serum DAP levels were found in severe AP (SAP) model rats. The accumulation of DAP in SAP patients corroborated its ability to serve as an indicator of disease severity. Subsequently, SAP rats were treated with oral administration of the traditional Chinese medicine Qingyi Keli (QYKL) as well as neomycin, which can widely eliminate DAP-containing bacteria. Both QYKL and neomycin intervention ameliorated intestinal and pancreatic damage and systemic inflammation in SAP rats. Through 16S rDNA sequencing, we found that QYKL could rehabilitate the gut microbiota structure and selectively inhibit the overgrowth of enteric bacteria, such as Helicobacter and Lactobacillus, in SAP rats without affecting some protective strains, including Romboutsia and Allobaculum. Interestingly, we demonstrated that the decrease in serum DAP was accompanied by suppression of the NOD1/RIP2/NF-kB signaling pathway in both the intestine and pancreas of the two intervention groups. Taken together, these results suggested that the gut microbiota-DAP-NOD1/RIP2 signaling pathway might play a critical role in the progression of AP and that SAP could be alleviated via intervention in the signaling pathway. Our work provides new potential early warning indicators of SAP and targets for intervention.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease, and NLRP3 inflammasome activation is involved in the pathogenesis of AP. Previous research showed that inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome may exert protective effects on animal models of AP and reduces disease severity. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to evaluate the effects of drug treatment of NLRP3 inflammasome on the outcomes of experimental AP. PubMed, Embase, Medline, and Web of Science databases were searched for relevant articles without language restrictions. The main outcomes for this study included local pancreatic injury, the incidence of systemic inflammatory responses, and the incidence of organ failure. Twenty-eight animal studies including 556 animals with AP were included in the meta-analysis. Compared with controls, inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome significantly reduced the pancreatic histopathological scores, serum amylase, and lipase levels. In addition, inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome reduced the levels of circulating inflammatory cytokines, as well as mitigating severity of AP-associated acute lung injury and acute intestinal injury. To conclude, inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome has protective effects on AP by mitigating organ injury and systemic inflammation in animal studies, indicating that NLRP3 inflammasome holds promise as a target for specific AP therapy.

Luzhou-Feier powder reduces inflammatory response and improves intestinal immune barrier in rats with severe acute pancreatitis. J Food Biochem 2021; 45:e13905.

Abstract
As we know, nutritional support plays a key role in the treatment of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Since total parenteral nutrition (TPN) was discovered, the mortality of SAP had been greatly reduced. But researchers recently demonstrated that the prognosis of SAP could be improved by early enteral nutrition (EEN), which has been a priority for nutritional support in patients with SAP. However, implementation of total enteral nutrition is often challenging in the early stage of SAP. If the enteral nutrition is overused, the burden on the gastrointestinal tract will be aggravated. Under such circumstances, the combination of enteral and parenteral nutrition for nutritional support of SAP patients would be a better choice. Therefore, in this study, we compared the efficacy of two enteral nutrition agents: traditional nutritional supplement named Luzhou-Feier powder (LZ-FP) and enteral nutritional suspension (TPF) combined with parenteral nutrition to total parenteral nutrition (TPN) in the treatment of SAP rats. Our analysis revealed that the combination of enteral nutrition and parenteral nutrition was more effective than TPN in SAP. And LZ-FP met the requirements for enteral nutrition of SAP supporting its clinical application in SAP. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Luzhou-Feier powder (LZ-FP) is a traditional Chinese nutritional supplement that was originally developed as a nutritional supplement for infants and is currently used for nutritional support in patients with chronic and consumptive diseases. Our research investigated the effect and its possible mechanisms of LZ-FP as early trophic enteral nutrition in SAP rats and compared it with TPF and TPN which have been used clinically. We found that LZ-FP helped to reduce inflammatory response and improve the intestinal immune barrier of SAP. The curative effect of LZ-FP was comparable to that of TPF. And this effect may be achieved by inducing the secretion of gut hormones. Our research indicates that LZ-FP should be considered as an enteral nutrition preparation for SAP.

Abstract
Emodin is an effective component in rhubarb to cure intestinal dysfunction, but the specific mechanism remains unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the protective effects of emodin on intestinal dysfunction caused by acute severe pancreatitis and reveal the functional mechanism of emodin in the treatment of this condition. An acute severe pancreatitis model was prepared using taurocholate. In the treatment group, 50 mg/kg emodin was injected intravenously 2 h before the induction of acute severe pancreatitis at an interval of 8 h. After 24 h, the gene expression and protein levels of miR-218a-5p, RhoA, ROCK1, Akt, Notch1, Bax, Bcl-2, Fas, FasL, caspase-3, and caspase-9 were determined through reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis. The protein levels of occludin, zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1), and E-cadherin in the intestinal tract were also determined through Western blot analysis. The effects of miR-218a-5p on the apoptosis of rat intestinal epithelial cell-18 were observed through flow cytometry. The effects of emodin on intestinal cell apoptosis induced by acute severe pancreatitis were observed via TUNEL (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling). Pathological changes in the pancreas and intestine of rats in each group were observed through hematoxylin and eosin staining. After 24 h of acute severe pancreatitis induced by taurocholate, emodin reduced the expression of miR-218a-5p in the intestinal tract; increased the expression of Notch1 and Bcl-2; decreased the expression levels of RhoA, ROCK1, Akt, Bax, Fas, FasL, caspase-3, and caspase-9; inhibited the intestinal cell apoptosis caused by acute severe pancreatitis; increased the protein expression levels of occludin, zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1), and E-cadherin in the intestinal tract; and alleviated intestinal dysfunction caused by acute severe pancreatitis. Emodin could regulate Notch1 and RhoA/ROCK pathways by regulating the miR-218a-5p expression in the intestine. It could also inhibit intestinal cell apoptosis induced by acute severe pancreatitis and improve the intestinal dysfunction caused by severe acute pancreatitis.

Abstract
Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), a serious inflammatory disease of the pancreas, can easily lead to systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and multiple organ dysfunction syndromes (MODS). Acute lung injury (ALI) is one of the most serious complications of SAP. However, the specific pathogenesis of SAP-associated ALI is not fully understood. Crosstalk and multi-mechanisms involving pancreatic necrosis, bacteremia, intestinal barrier failure, activation of inflammatory cascades and diffuse alveolar damage is the main reason for the unclear pathological mechanism of SAP-associated ALI. According to previous research on SAP-associated ALI in our laboratory and theories put forward by other scholars, we propose that the complex pattern of SAP-associated ALI is based on the "pancreas-intestine-inflammation/endotoxin-lung (P-I-I/E-L) pathway". In this review, we mainly concentrated on the specific details of the "P-I-I/E-L pathway" and the potential treatments or preventive measures for SAP-associated ALI.

Abstract
The innate immune system is the body's first defense against invading microorganisms, relying on the recognition of bacterial-derived small molecules by host protein receptors. This recognition event and downstream immune response rely heavily on the specific chemical features of both the innate immune receptors and their bacterial derived ligands. This review presents a chemist's perspective on some of the most crucial and complex components of two receptors (NOD1 and NOD2): starting from the structural and chemical characteristics of bacterial-derived small molecules, to the specific proposed models of molecular recognition of these molecules by immune receptors, to the subsequent post-translational modifications that ultimately dictate downstream immune signaling. Recent advances in the field are discussed, as well as the potential for the development of targeted therapeutics.
