Abstract
Lipoxins (LXs) are a class of endogenous bioactive lipid mediators that are involved in the regulation of inflammation. They exert immunomodulatory effects by regulating the behaviour of various immune cells, including neutrophils, macrophages, and T and B cells, by promoting the clearance of apoptotic neutrophils. This helps to dampen inflammation and promote tissue repair. LXs regulate the expression of many inflammatory genes by modulating the levels of transcription factors, such as nuclear factor κB (NF-κB), activator protein-1 (AP-1), nerve growth factor-regulated factor 1A binding protein 1 (NGF), and peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ (PPAR-γ), which are elevated in various diseases, such as respiratory tract diseases, renal diseases, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and viral infections. Lipoxin-mediated signaling is involved in chronic inflammation, cancer, diabetes-associated kidney disease, lung injury, liver injury, endometriosis, respiratory tract diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, chronic cerebral hypoperfusion, and retinal degeneration. In this study, we systematically investigated the intricate network of lipoxin signaling by analyzing the relevant literature. The resulting map comprised 467 molecules categorized as activation/inhibition, enzyme catalysis, gene and protein expression, molecular associations, and translocation events. This map serves as a valuable resource for understanding the complexity of lipoxin signaling and its impact on various cellular functions.

LXA4 protected mice from renal ischemia/reperfusion injury by promoting IRG1/Nrf2 and IRAK-M-TRAF6 signal pathways. Clin Immunol 2024; 261:110167. [PMID: 38453127 DOI: 10.1016/j.clim.2024.110167] [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: 09/24/2023] [Revised: 01/26/2024] [Accepted: 03/03/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024]
Abstract
Excessive inflammatory response and increased oxidative stress play an essential role in the pathophysiology of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced acute kidney injury (IRI-AKI). Emerging evidence suggests that lipoxin A4 (LXA4), as an endogenous negative regulator in inflammation, can ameliorate several I/R injuries. However, the mechanisms and effects of LXA4 on IRI-AKI remain unknown. In this study, A bilateral renal I/R mouse model was used to evaluate the role of LXA4 in wild-type, IRG1 knockout, and IRAK-M knockout mice. Our results showed that LXA4, as well as 5-LOX and ALXR, were quickly induced, and subsequently decreased by renal I/R. LXA4 pretreatment improved renal I/R-induced renal function impairment and renal damage and inhibited inflammatory responses and oxidative stresses in mice kidneys. Notably, LXA4 inhibited I/R-induced the activation of TLR4 signal pathway including decreased phosphorylation of TAK1, p36, and p65, but did not affect TLR4 and p-IRAK-1. The analysis of transcriptomic sequencing data and immunoblotting suggested that innate immune signal molecules interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase-M (IRAK-M) and immunoresponsive gene 1 (IRG1) might be the key targets of LXA4. Further, the knockout of IRG1 or IRAK-M abolished the beneficial effects of LXA4 on IRI-AKI. In addition, IRG1 deficiency reversed the up-regulation of IRAK-M by LXA4, while IRAK-M knockout had no impact on the IRG1 expression, indicating that IRAK-M is a downstream molecule of IRG1. Mechanistically, we found that LXA4-promoted IRG1-itaconate not only enhanced Nrf2 activation and increased HO-1 and NQO1, but also upregulated IRAK-M, which interacted with TRAF6 by competing with IRAK-1, resulting in deactivation of TLR4 downstream signal in IRI-AKI. These data suggested that LXA4 protected against IRI-AKI via promoting IRG1/Itaconate-Nrf2 and IRAK-M-TRAF6 signaling pathways, providing the rationale for a novel strategy for preventing and treating IRI-AKI.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a global public health issue due to its high morbidity, mortality, and economic impact. The implementation of innovative therapeutic alternatives for CVD is urgently required. Specialized proresolving lipid mediators (SPMs) are bioactive compounds derived from ω-3 and ω-6 fatty acids, integrated into four families: Lipoxins, Resolvins, Protectins, and Maresins. SPMs have generated interest in recent years due to their ability to promote the resolution of inflammation associated with the pathogeneses of numerous illnesses, particularly CVD. Several preclinical studies in animal models have evidenced their ability to decrease the progression of atherosclerosis, intimal hyperplasia, and reperfusion injury via diverse mechanisms. Large-scale clinical trials are required to determine the effects of SPMs in humans. This review integrates the currently available knowledge of the therapeutic impact of SPMs in CVD from preclinical and clinical studies, along with the implicated molecular pathways. In vitro results have been promising, and as such, SPMs could soon represent a new therapeutic alternative for CVD.

Abstract
Background: The activation of alveolar macrophages (AMs) modulated via leucine-rich repeat (NLR) pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation is key to the progression of renal ischemia/reperfusion (rI/R)-mediated acute lung injury (ALI). Sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) can attenuate NLRP3 inflammasome activation during I/R stress and may be an important mechanism underlying ALI pathogenesis. Penehyclidine hydrochloride (PHC), an anticholinergic drug, exerts protective effects against rI/R-mediated ALI. This study aimed to decipher the effects of PHC on SIRT1 activation and the underlying mechanism of the protective activity of PHC against rI/R-mediated ALI.Materials and methods: We used an ALI rat model and the rat AMs cell line NR8383 to assess the degree of lung injury in vivo and in vitro.Results: The results show that PHC attenuates rI/R-mediated lung injury indices, myeloperoxidase, and apoptosis in vivo. It decreases the rI/R-mediated release of prostaglandin E2 and nitric oxide, mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production, and the activity of NADPH oxidase-4 in vitro. PHC ameliorates the rI/R-induced activation of the thioredoxin-interacting protein, caspase 1 (P10 unit), and NLRP3 inflammasome, along with reduced activation of interleukin-1β and interleukin-18 in vitro. We show that PHC alleviates the rI/R-induced reduction of SIRT1 and the depletion of SIRT1 eliminates the ameliorating activity of PHC on the NLRP3 inflammasome activation in vitro. Conclusions: In summary, the findings suggest that PHC ameliorates the rI/R-mediated ALI through the SIRT1-mediated NLRP3 inflammasome activation.

Abstract
Propofol (Pro) confers protection against renal ischemia/reperfusion (rI/R) injury through incompletely characterized mechanisms. Since Pro has shown net anti-inflammatory properties as part of its beneficial effects, we examined the potential role of Pro in the modulation of macrophage polarization status during both rI/R injury in vivo and exposure of cultured peritoneal macrophages (PMs) to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R). Rats were subjected to 45-min r/IR surgery or a sham procedure and administered PBS (vehicle) or Pro during the ischemia stage. Pro administration attenuated rI/R-induced kidney damage and renal TNF-α, IL-6, and CXCL-10 expression. Enhanced macrophage M2 polarization, evidenced by reduced iNOS and increased Arg1 and Mrc1 mRNA levels, was further detected after Pro treatment both in the kidney, after rI/R in vivo, and in H/R-treated PMs. Pro administration also repressed phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (p-STAT1) and increased p-STAT3, p-STAT6, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) mRNA levels in H/R-exposed PMs. Importantly, siRNA-mediated PPARγ silencing repressed Pro-mediated STAT3 activation in PMs and restored proinflammatory cytokine levels and prevented macrophage M2 marker expression in both rI/R-treated rats and cultured PMs. These findings suggest that Pro confers renoprotection against rI/R by stimulating PPARγ/STAT3-dependent macrophage conversion to the M2 phenotype.

Abstract
The nuclear factor (NF)-κB and NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) pathways promote inflammatory signaling that injures the kidneys, whereas the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway promotes anti-inflammatory signaling that inhibits oxidative damage. Penehyclidine hydrochloride (PHC) inhibits NF-κB and activates Nrf2 signaling. We investigated whether PHC induces communication between the Nrf2 and NF-κB/NLRP3 pathways, thereby protecting against renal ischemia/reperfusion (rI/R)-induced lung inflammation. Rat alveolar macrophages (NR8383 cells) were stimulated for 24 h with PHC with or without brusatol (a Nrf2 antagonist), after which they were treated for 4 h with tert-butyl hydroperoxide (10 mM). PHC Nrf2-dependently alleviated tert-butyl hydroperoxide-induced reactive oxygen species production in alveolar macrophages. Additionally, wild-type and Nrf2-/- rats were each divided into four groups: (1) sham, (2) PHC (1 mg/kg), (3) rI/R and (4) rI/R + PHC (1 mg/kg). PHC markedly induced the Nrf2 and adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase pathways and suppressed rI/R-induced NF-κB and NLRP3 activation in the lungs. Nrf2 deficiency diminished the ability of PHC to ameliorate rI/R-induced histopathological alterations and reactive oxygen species release in the lungs; however, PHC inhibited NLRP3 signaling Nrf2-dependently, while it inhibited NF-κB signaling Nrf2-independently. Our findings demonstrate the beneficial effects of PHC on rI/R-induced lung inflammation.

Abstract
Renal Ischemia/Reperfusion (rI/R)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) is a major problem in rI/R. The objective of the current study was to explore the defensive roles of propofol (Pro), an intravenous anesthetic, on rI/R-induced ALI through mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling. Rats were divided into Sham, Pro (10 mg/kg), rI/R, rI/R + Pro (5 mg/kg), and rI/R + Pro (10 mg/kg) groups. Rats were treated with Pro at 1 h after rI/R treatment. Serum and lung tissues at 24 h after rI/R were collected to evaluate morphological changes and the expression of myeloperoxidase (MPO), inflammatory cytokines, and crucial proteins in the MAPK pathway. Pro attenuated the production of mediators, resulting in reduced levels of autophagy and apoptosis by restricting the MAPK pathway in rI/R-induced ALI model. Pro represses rI/R-induced pulmonary autophagy and apoptosis by decreasing the production of inflammatory molecules, and the effects of Pro are involved in the inhibition of the MAPK pathway.

Abstract
Penehyclidine hydrochloride (PHC) is a novel anticholinergic drug applied broadly in surgeries as a preanesthetic medication. A substantial amount of research indicates that PHC has lung defensive properties. Considering that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress exerts a crucial function in cell apoptosis associated with the lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) model, we aimed to determine whether regulation of ER stress in the LPS-induced ALI model was associated with the lung defensive role of PHC. Adult male SD rats were administered LPS (5 mg/kg, intratracheally) followed by PHC (1.0 mg/kg, intravenously) for 24 h. The NR8383 alveolar macrophages were randomly separated into Sham, LPS (100 ng/mL), and PHC (1, 2.5, or 5 μg/mL) + LPS groups. PHC (1, 2.5, or 5 μg/mL) + LPS groups were treated with PHC alone for 1 h after LPS exposure. Posttreatment with PHC relieved LPS-induced pulmonary impairment and blocked LPS-mediated lung apoptosis, indicated by the downregulation of the lung apoptotic indicators malondialdehyde and superoxide dismutase in serum at 24 h after LPS-induced ALI. PHC (1-5 μg/mL) did not influence the activity of cultivated NR8383 alveolar macrophages in vitro. However, postconditioning with PHC dosage-dependently reduced LPS-mediated cell apoptosis. Additionally, many studies have indicated that PHC administration inhibits ER stress and initiates hairy and enhancer of split 1 (Hes1)/(Notch1) signaling by decreasing phosphorylated α subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (p-eIF2α)/eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α (eIF2α) and Phospho-protein kinase R-like ER kinase (p-PERK)/ protein kinase R-like ER kinase (PERK) proportions; inhibiting C/EBP-homologous protein (CHOP), activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4), caspase-3, and Bcl2-associated x (Bax) activity; and enhancing notch1 intracellular domain (NICD), Notch1, B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), and Hes1 activity in vivo and in vitro. In addition, the defensive functions of PHC on LPS-activated NR8383 alveolar macrophages were abrogated through the Notch1 pathway antagonist [(3,5-difluorophenacetyl)-1-alanyl] -phenylglycine-butyl ester (DAPT). In conclusion, PHC alleviates LPS-induced ALI by ameliorating ER stress-mediated apoptosis and promoting Hes1/Notch1 signaling in vivo and in vitro.

Abstract
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a common chronic lung disease in premature infants and is mainly caused by hyperoxia exposure and mechanical ventilation. Alveolar simplification, pulmonary vascular abnormalities and pulmonary inflammation are the main pathological changes in hyperoxic lung injury animals. Lipoxin A4 (LXA4) is an important endogenous lipid that can mediate the regression of inflammation and plays a role in acute lung injury and asthma. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of LXA4 on inflammation and lung function in neonatal rats with hyperoxic lung injury and to explore the mechanism of the PINK1 pathway. After 85% oxygen exposure in newborn rats for 7 days, the BPD model was established. We found that LXA4 could significantly reduce cell and protein infiltration and oxidative stress in rat lungs, improve pulmonary function and alveolar simplification, and promote weight gain. LXA4 inhibited the expression of TNF-α, MCP-1 and IL-1β in serum and BALF from hyperoxic rats. Moreover, we found that LXA4 could reduce the expression of the PINK1 gene and down-regulate the expression of PINK1, Parkin, BNIP3L/Nix and the autophagic protein LC3B.These protective effects of LXA4 could be partially reversed by addition of BOC-2.Thus, we concluded that LXA4 can alleviate the airway inflammatory response, reduce the severity of lung injury and improve lung function in a hyperoxic rat model of BPD partly through the PINK1 signaling pathway.
