Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI), which occurs in association with sepsis, trauma, and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is a serious clinical condition with high mortality. Excessive platelet-leukocyte aggregate (PLA) formation promotes neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) release and thrombosis, which are involved in various diseases, including ALI. Macrophage-1 antigen (Mac-1, CD11b/CD18), which is expressed on the surface of leukocytes, is known to promote NET formation. This study aimed to elucidate the role of Mac-1 in extracellular histone-induced ALI. Exogenous histones were administered to Mac-1-deficient mice and wild-type (WT) mice with or without neutrophil or platelet depletion, and several parameters were investigated 1 h after histone injection. Depletion of neutrophils or platelets improved survival time and macroscopic and microscopic properties of lung tissues, and decreased platelet-leukocyte formation and plasma myeloperoxidase levels. These improvements were also observed in Mac-1-/- mice. NET formation in Mac-1-/- bone marrow neutrophils (BMNs) was significantly lower than that in WT BMNs. In conclusion, our findings suggest that Mac-1 is associated with exacerbation of histone-induced ALI and the promotion of NET formation in the presence of activated platelets.

Protective effect of zerumbone on sepsis-induced acute lung injury through anti-inflammatory and antioxidative activity via NF-κB pathway inhibition and HO-1 activation. NAUNYN-SCHMIEDEBERG'S ARCHIVES OF PHARMACOLOGY 2024; 397:2241-2255.

Abstract
Sepsis is a systemic illness for which there are no effective preventive or therapeutic therapies. Zerumbone, a natural molecule, has anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties that may help to prevent sepsis. In the present study, we have assessed the protective effect of zerumbone against sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI) and its underlying mechanisms. During the experiment, mice were divided into five groups: a sham group, a sepsis-induced ALI group, and three sepsis groups that are pre-treated with zerumbone at different concentrations. We found that zerumbone greatly decreased the sepsis-induced ALI using histological investigations. Also, zerumbone treatment reduced the sepsis-induced inflammatory cytokine concentrations as well as the number of infiltrating inflammatory cells in BALF compared to non-treated sepsis animals. The zerumbone-pretreated sepsis groups had reduced pulmonary myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity than the sepsis groups. Moreover, the mechanism underlying the protective action of zerumbone on sepsis is accomplished by the activation of antioxidant genes such as nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1). The obtained results revealed that zerumbone inhibited the sepsis-induced ALI through its anti-inflammatory and antioxidative activity via inhibition of the NF-κB pathway and activation of HO-1 pathway. Our findings demonstrate that zerumbone pretreatment suppresses sepsis-induced ALI via antioxidative activities and anti-inflammatory, implying that zerumbone could be a viable preventive agent for sepsis-induced ALI.

Stimulation of platelet P2Y 1 receptors by different endogenous nucleotides leads to functional selectivity via biased signalling. Br J Pharmacol 2024; 181:564-579. [PMID: 36694432 PMCID: PMC10952403 DOI: 10.1111/bph.16039] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2022] [Revised: 12/13/2022] [Accepted: 01/13/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Platelet function during inflammation is dependent on activation by endogenous nucleotides. Non-canonical signalling via the P2Y1 receptor is important for these non-thrombotic functions of platelets. However, apart from ADP, the role of other endogenous nucleotides acting as agonists at P2Y1 receptors is unknown. This study compared the effects of ADP, Ap3A, NAD+ , ADP-ribose, and Up4A on platelet functions contributing to inflammation or haemostasis. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Platelets obtained from healthy human volunteers were incubated with ADP, Ap3A, NAD+ , ADP-ribose, or Up4A, with aggregation and fibrinogen binding measured (examples of function during haemostasis) or before exposure to fMLP to measure platelet chemotaxis (an inflammatory function). In silico molecular docking of these nucleotides to the binding pocket of P2Y1 receptors was then assessed. KEY RESULTS Platelet aggregation and binding to fibrinogen induced by ADP was not mimicked by NAD+ , ADP-ribose, and Up4A. However, these endogenous nucleotides induced P2Y1 -dependent platelet chemotaxis, an effect that required RhoA and Rac-1 activity, but not canonical PLC activity. Analysis of molecular docking of the P2Y1 receptor revealed distinct differences of amino acid interactions and depth of fit within the binding pocket for Ap3A, NAD+ , ADP-ribose, or Up4A compared with ADP. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS Platelet function (aggregation vs motility) can be differentially modulated by biased-agonist activation of P2Y1 receptors. This may be due to the character of the ligand-binding pocket interaction. This has implications for future therapeutic strategies aimed to suppress platelet activation during inflammation without affecting haemostasis as is the requirement of current ant-platelet drugs.

Abstract
Neutrophils release neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) to trap pathogenic microorganisms. NETs are involved in the inflammatory response and bacterial killing and clearance. However, their excessive activation can lead to an inflammatory storm in the body, which may damage tissues and cause organ dysfunction. Organ dysfunction is the main pathophysiological cause of sepsis and also a cause of the high mortality rate in sepsis. Acute lung injury caused by sepsis accounts for the highest proportion of organ damage in sepsis. NET formation can lead to the development of sepsis because by promoting the release of interleukin-1 beta, interleukin-8, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha, thereby accelerating acute lung injury. In this review, we describe the critical role of NETs in sepsis-associated acute lung injury and review the current knowledge and novel therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are associated with high morbidity and mortality. Excessive neutrophil infiltration into the pulmonary airspace is the main cause for the acute inflammation and lung injury. Platelets have been implicated in the pathogenesis of ALI/ARDS, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Here, we show that the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif-coupled immunoglobulin-like platelet receptor, glycoprotein VI (GPVI), plays a key role in the early phase of pulmonary thrombo-inflammation in a model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI in mice. In wild-type (WT) control mice, intranasal LPS application triggered severe pulmonary and blood neutrophilia, hypothermia, and increased blood lactate levels. In contrast, GPVI-deficient mice as well as anti-GPVI-treated WT mice were markedly protected from pulmonary and systemic compromises and showed no increased pulmonary bleeding. High-resolution multicolor microscopy of lung sections and intravital confocal microcopy of the ventilated lung revealed that anti-GPVI treatment resulted in less stable platelet interactions with neutrophils and overall reduced platelet-neutrophil complex (PNC) formation. Anti-GPVI treatment also reduced neutrophil crawling and adhesion on endothelial cells, resulting in reduced neutrophil transmigration and alveolar infiltrates. Remarkably, neutrophil activation was also diminished in anti-GPVI-treated animals, associated with strongly reduced formation of PNC clusters and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) compared with that in control mice. These results establish GPVI as a key mediator of neutrophil recruitment, PNC formation, and NET formation (ie, NETosis) in experimental ALI. Thus, GPVI inhibition might be a promising strategy to reduce the acute pulmonary inflammation that causes ALI/ARDS.

Abstract
Background Acute lung injury (ALI) is associated with a high mortality rate; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression profile and related networks of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs), and mRNAs in lung tissue exosomes obtained from sepsis-induced ALI. Methods A mouse model of sepsis was established using the cecal ligation and puncture method. RNA sequencing was performed using lung tissue exosomes obtained from mice in the sham and CLP groups. Hematoxylin-eosin staining, Western blotting, immunofluorescence, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and nanoparticle tracking analysis were performed to identify relevant phenotypes, and bioinformatic algorithms were used to evaluate competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks. Results Thirty lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA interactions were identified, including two upregulated lncRNAs, 30 upregulated miRNAs, and two downregulated miRNAs. Based on the expression levels of differentially expressed mRNAs(DEmRNAs), differentially expressed LncRNAs(DELncRNAs), and differentially expressed miRNAs(DEmiRNAs), 30 ceRNA networks were constructed. Conclusion Our study revealed, for the first time, the expression profiles of lncRNA, miRNA, and mRNA in exosomes isolated from the lungs of mice with sepsis-induced ALI, and the exosome co-expression network and ceRNA network related to ALI in sepsis.

Abstract
CD34 has spear-headed the field of basic research and clinical transplantation since the first reports of its expression on hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Expressed in mice, humans, rats and other species, CD34 has been used for more than 40 years as a hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell marker. It was later found that muscle satellite cells and epidermal precursors can also be identified with the aid of CD34. Despite the usefulness of CD34 as a marker of HSCs, its overall purpose in animal physiology has remained unclear. This review recaptures CD34 structure, evolutionary conservation, proposed functions, and role in lung inflammation, to describe current research findings and to provide guidance for future studies on CD34.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Key underlying pathological mechanisms contributing to sepsis are hemostatic dysfunction and overwhelming inflammation. Platelet aggregation is required for hemostasis, and platelets are also separately involved in inflammatory responses that require different functional attributes. Nevertheless, P2Y receptor activation of platelets is required for this dichotomy of function. The aim of this study was to elucidate whether P2YR-dependent hemostatic and inflammatory functions were altered in platelets isolated from sepsis patients, compared with patients with mild sterile inflammation. Platelets from patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery (20 patients, 3 female) or experiencing sepsis after community-acquired pneumonia (10 patients, 4 female) were obtained through the IMMunE dysfunction and Recovery from SEpsis-related critical illness in adults (IMMERSE) Observational Clinical Trial. In vitro aggregation and chemotaxis assays were performed with platelets after stimulation with ADP and compared with platelets isolated from healthy control subjects (7 donors, 5 female). Cardiac surgery and sepsis both induced a robust inflammatory response with increases in circulating neutrophil counts with a trend toward decreased circulating platelet counts being observed. The ability of platelets to aggregate in response to ex vivo ADP stimulation was preserved in all groups. However, platelets isolated from patients with sepsis lost the ability to undergo chemotaxis toward N -formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine, and this suppression was evident at admission through to and including discharge from hospital. Our results suggest that P2Y 1 -dependent inflammatory function in platelets is lost in patients with sepsis resulting from community-acquired pneumonia. Further studies will need to be undertaken to determine whether this is due to localized recruitment to the lungs of a platelet responsive population or loss of function as a result of dysregulation of the immune response.

Abstract
Chemoattractant cytokines or chemokines are proteins involved in numerous biological activities. Their essential role consists of the formation of gradient and (immune) cell recruitment. Chemokine biology and its related signaling system is more complex than simple ligand-receptor interactions. Beside interactions with their cognate and/or atypical chemokine receptors, and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), chemokines form complexes with themselves as homo-oligomers, heteromers and also with other soluble effector proteins, including the atypical chemokine MIF, carbohydrate-binding proteins (galectins), damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) or with chemokine-binding proteins such as evasins. Likewise, nucleic acids have been described as binding targets for the tetrameric form of CXCL4. The dynamic balance between monomeric and dimeric structures, as well as interactions with GAGs, modulate the concentrations of free chemokines available along with the nature of the gradient. Dimerization of chemokines changes the canonical monomeric fold into two main dimeric structures, namely CC- and CXC-type dimers. Recent studies highlighted that chemokine dimer formation is a frequent event that could occur under pathophysiological conditions. The structural changes dictated by chemokine dimerization confer additional biological activities, e.g., biased signaling. The present review will provide a short overview of the known functionality of chemokines together with the consequences of the interactions engaged by the chemokines with other proteins. Finally, we will present potential therapeutic tools targeting the chemokine multimeric structures that could modulate their biological functions.

Abstract
Various immune cells participate in repair and regeneration following tissue injury or damage, orchestrating tissue inflammation and regeneration processes. A deeper understanding of the immune system's involvement in tissue repair and regeneration is critical for the development of successful reparatory and regenerative strategies. Here we review recent technologies that facilitate cell-based and biomaterial-based modulation of the immune systems for tissue repair and regeneration. First, we summarize the roles of various types of immune cells in tissue repair. Second, we review the principle, examples, and limitations of regulatory T (Treg) cell-based therapy, a representative cell-based immunotherapy. Finally, we discuss biomaterial-based immunotherapy strategies that aim to modulate immune cells using various biomaterials for tissue repair and regeneration.

Abstract
Leukocyte trafficking is mainly governed by chemokines, chemotactic cytokines, which can be concomitantly produced in tissues during homeostatic conditions or inflammation. After the discovery and characterization of the individual chemokines, we and others have shown that they present additional properties. The first discoveries demonstrated that some chemokines act as natural antagonists on chemokine receptors, and prevent infiltration of leukocyte subsets in tissues. Later on it was shown that they can exert a repulsive effect on selective cell types, or synergize with other chemokines and inflammatory mediators to enhance chemokine receptors activities. The relevance of the fine-tuning modulation has been demonstrated in vivo in a multitude of processes, spanning from chronic inflammation to tissue regeneration, while its role in the tumor microenvironment needs further investigation. Moreover, naturally occurring autoantibodies targeting chemokines were found in tumors and autoimmune diseases. More recently in SARS-CoV-2 infection, the presence of several autoantibodies neutralizing chemokine activities distinguished disease severity, and they were shown to be beneficial, protecting from long-term sequelae. Here, we review the additional properties of chemokines that influence cell recruitment and activities. We believe these features need to be taken into account when designing novel therapeutic strategies targeting immunological disorders.

Abstract
Endogenous bacterial infections from damaged gastrointestinal (GI) organs have high potential to cause systemic inflammatory responses and life-threatening sepsis. Current treatments, including systemic antibiotic administration and surgical suturing, are difficult in preventing bacterial translocation and further infection. Here, we report a wireless localized stimulator composed of a piezo implant with high piezoelectric output serving as an anti-infective therapy patch, which aims at modulating the electro-microenvironment of biofilm around GI wounds for effective inhibition of bacterial infection if combined with ultrasound (US) treatment from outside the body. The pulsed charges generated by the piezo implant in response to US stimulation transfer into bacterial biofilms, effectively destroying their macromolecular components (e.g., membrane proteins), disrupting the electron transport chain of biofilms, and inhibiting bacterial proliferation, as proven by experimental studies and theoretical calculations. The piezo implant, in combination with US stimulation, also exhibits successful in vivo anti-infection efficacy in a rat cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) model. The proposed strategy, combining piezo implants with controllable US activation, creates a promising pathway for inhibiting endogenous bacterial infection caused by GI perforation.

Abstract
Neutrophils sense microbes and host inflammatory mediators, and traffic to sites of infection where they direct a broad armamentarium of antimicrobial products against pathogens. Neutrophils are also activated by damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), which are products of cellular injury that stimulate the innate immune system through pathways that are similar to those activated by microbes. Neutrophils and platelets become activated by injury, and cluster and cross-signal to each other with the cumulative effect of driving antimicrobial defense and hemostasis. In addition, neutrophil extracellular traps are extracellular chromatin and granular constituents that are generated in response to microbial and damage motifs and are pro-thrombotic and injurious. Although neutrophils can worsen tissue injury, neutrophils may also have a role in facilitating wound repair following injury. A central theme of this review relates to how critical functions of neutrophils that evolved to respond to infection and damage modulate the tumor microenvironment (TME) in ways that can promote or limit tumor progression. Neutrophils are reprogrammed by the TME, and, in turn, can cross-signal to tumor cells and reshape the immune landscape of tumors. Importantly, promising new therapeutic strategies have been developed to target neutrophil recruitment and function to make cancer immunotherapy more effective.

Protective effect of soloxolone derivatives in carrageenan- and LPS-driven acute inflammation: Pharmacological profiling and their effects on key inflammation-related processes.

Abstract
The anti-inflammatory potential of three cyanoenone-containing triterpenoids, including soloxolone methyl (SM), soloxolone (S) and its novel derivative bearing at the C-30 amidoxime moiety (SAO), was studied in murine models of acute inflammation. It was found that the compounds effectively suppressed the development of carrageenan-induced paw edema and peritonitis as well as lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-driven acute lung injury (ALI) with therapeutic outcomes comparable with that of the reference drugs indomethacin and dexamethasone. Non-immunogenic carrageenan-stimulated inflammation was more sensitive to the transformation of C-30 of SM compared with immunogenic LPS-induced inflammation: the anti-inflammatory properties of the studied compounds against carrageenan-induced paw edema and peritonitis decreased in the order of SAO > S > > SM, whereas the efficiency of these triterpenoids against LPS-driven ALI was similar (SAO ≈ S ≈ SM). Further studies demonstrated that soloxolone derivatives significantly inhibited a range of immune-related processes, including granulocyte influx and the expression of key pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in the inflamed sites as well as the functional activity of macrophages. Moreover, SM was found to prevent inflammation-associated apoptosis of A549 pneumocytes and effectively inhibited the protease activity of thrombin (IC50 = 10.3 µM) tightly associated with rodent inflammatome. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that soloxolone derivatives can be considered as novel promising anti-inflammatory drug candidates with multi-targeted mechanism of action.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is not much evidence on the prognostic utility of different biological markers in patients with severe COVID-19 living at high altitude. The objective of this study was to determine the predictive value of inflammatory and hematological markers for the risk of mortality at 28 days in patients with severe COVID-19 under invasive mechanical ventilation, living at high altitude and in a low-resource setting. METHODS We performed a retrospective observational study including patients with severe COVID-19, under mechanical ventilation and admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) located at 2850 m above sea level, between 1 April 2020 and 1 August 2021. Inflammatory (interleukin-6 (IL-6), ferritin, D-dimer, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)) and hematologic (mean platelet volume (MPV), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), MPV/platelet ratio) markers were evaluated at 24 h and in subsequent controls, and when available at 48 h and 72 h after admission to the ICU. The primary outcome was the association of inflammatory and hematological markers with the risk of mortality at 28 days. RESULTS We analyzed 223 patients (median age (1st quartile [Q1]-3rd quartile [Q3]) 51 (26-75) years and 70.4% male). Patients with severe COVID-19 and with IL-6 values at 24 h ≥ 11, NLR values at 24 h ≥ 22, and NLR values at 72 h ≥ 14 were 8.3, 3.8, and 3.8 times more likely to die at 28 days, respectively. The SOFA and APACHE-II scores were not able to independently predict mortality. CONCLUSIONS In mechanically ventilated patients with severe COVID-19 and living at high altitude, low-cost and immediately available blood markers such as IL-6 and NLR may predict the severity of the disease in low-resource settings.

Abstract
Sepsis is defined as a life-threatening dysfunction due to a dysregulated host response to infection. It is a common and complex syndrome and is the leading cause of death in intensive care units. The lungs are most vulnerable to the challenge of sepsis, and the incidence of respiratory dysfunction has been reported to be up to 70%, in which neutrophils play a major role. Neutrophils are the first line of defense against infection, and they are regarded as the most responsive cells in sepsis. Normally, neutrophils recognize chemokines including the bacterial product N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP), complement 5a (C5a), and lipid molecules Leukotriene B4 (LTB4) and C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 (CXCL8), and enter the site of infection through mobilization, rolling, adhesion, migration, and chemotaxis. However, numerous studies have confirmed that despite the high levels of chemokines in septic patients and mice at the site of infection, the neutrophils cannot migrate to the proper target location, but instead they accumulate in the lungs, releasing histones, DNA, and proteases that mediate tissue damage and induce acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). This is closely related to impaired neutrophil migration in sepsis, but the mechanism involved is still unclear. Many studies have shown that chemokine receptor dysregulation is an important cause of impaired neutrophil migration, and the vast majority of these chemokine receptors belong to the G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). In this review, we summarize the signaling pathways by which neutrophil GPCR regulates chemotaxis and the mechanisms by which abnormal GPCR function in sepsis leads to impaired neutrophil chemotaxis, which can further cause ARDS. Several potential targets for intervention are proposed to improve neutrophil chemotaxis, and we hope that this review may provide insights for clinical practitioners.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase catalytic subunit p110β is involved in tumorigenesis and hemostasis. However, it remains unclear if p110β also regulates platelet-mediated immune responses, which could have important consequences for immune modulation during anti-cancer treatment with p110β inhibitors. Thus, we investigate how platelet p110β affects inflammation and infection. Using a mouse model of Streptococcus pneumoniae-induced pneumonia, we find that both platelet-specific p110β deficiency and pharmacologic inhibition of p110β with TGX-221 exacerbate disease pathogenesis by preventing platelet-monocyte and neutrophil interactions, diminishing their infiltration and enhancing bacterial dissemination. Platelet p110β mediates neutrophil phagocytosis of S. pneumoniae in vitro and curtails bacteremia in vivo. Genetic deficiency or inhibition of platelet p110β also impairs macrophage recruitment in an independent model of sterile peritonitis. Our results demonstrate that platelet p110β dysfunction exacerbates pulmonary infection by impeding leukocyte functions. Thereby, our findings provide important insights into the immunomodulatory potential of PI3K inhibitors in bacterial infection.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common critical illness in respiratory care units with a huge public health burden. Despite tremendous advances in the prevention and treatment of ARDS, it remains the main cause of intensive care unit (ICU) management, and the mortality rate of ARDS remains unacceptably high. The poor performance of ARDS is closely related to its heterogeneous clinical syndrome caused by complicated pathophysiology. Based on the different pathophysiology phases, drugs, protective mechanical ventilation, conservative fluid therapy, and other treatment have been developed to serve as the ARDS therapeutic methods. In recent years, there has been a rapid development in nanomedicine, in which nanoparticles as drug delivery vehicles have been extensively studied in the treatment of ARDS. This study provides an overview of pharmacologic therapies for ARDS, including conventional drugs, natural medicine therapy, and nanomedicine. Particularly, we discuss the unique mechanism and strength of nanomedicine which may provide great promises in treating ARDS in the future.

Abstract
Chemokines form a family of proteins with critical roles in many biological processes in health and disease conditions, including cardiovascular, autoimmune diseases, infections, and cancer. Many chemokines engage in heterophilic interactions to form heterodimers, leading to synergistic activity enhancement or reduction dependent on the nature of heterodimer-forming chemokines. In mixtures, different chemokine species with diverse activities coexist in dynamic equilibrium, leading to the observation of their combined response in biological assays. To overcome this problem, we produced a non-dissociating CXCL4-CXCL12 chemokine heterodimer OHD4-12 as a new tool for studying the biological activities and mechanisms of chemokine heterodimers in biological environments. Using the OHD4-12, we show that the CXCL4-CXCL12 chemokine heterodimer inhibits the CXCL12-driven migration of triple-negative MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. We also show that the CXCL4-CXCL12 chemokine heterodimer binds and activates the CXCR4 receptor.

Abstract
Animal models and limited human studies have suggested a plausible role for platelets in the pathogenesis and resolution of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, there are little data regarding the role of platelets in ARDS development. OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to characterize the role of platelets in a postoperative ARDS model through an analysis of two platelet-specific biologic markers: thromboxane A2 (TxA2) and soluble CD-40-ligand (sCD40L). DESIGN SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS This was a nested case-control study of ARDS cases matched to non-ARDS controls. Blood samples were collected from a cohort of 500 patients undergoing thoracic, aortic vascular, or cardiac surgery that placed them at high-risk of developing postoperative ARDS. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES TxA2 and sCD40L were analyzed at baseline (prior to surgical incision) as well as 2 hours and 6 hours after the key intraoperative events believed to be associated with increased risk of postoperative ARDS. RESULTS Of 500 patients enrolled, 20 ARDS cases were matched 1:2 to non-ARDS controls based on age, sex, surgical procedure, and surgical lung injury prediction score. Those who developed ARDS had longer surgeries, greater fluid administration, and higher peak inspiratory pressures. There were no significant differences in levels of TxA2 or sCD40L at baseline, at 2 hours, or at 6 hours. There was also no difference in the change in biomarker concentration between baseline and 2 hours or baseline and 6 hours. CONCLUSIONS Two novel platelet-associated biologic markers (TxA2 and sCD40L) were not elevated in patients who developed ARDS in a postoperative ARDS model. Although limited by the relatively small study size, these results do not support a clear role for platelets in the early pathogenesis of postoperative ARDS.

Prognostic Value of Platelet to Lymphocyte Ratio in Sepsis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2022:9056363.

Abstract
The goal of this study was to conduct a systematic review of the literature on the relationship between peripheral blood platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and mortality in sepsis and to integrate the findings in a meta-analysis. An electronic search of three main databases was performed: PubMed, Embase, and Scopus on 19 December 2021. Finally, 16 studies comprising 2403 septic patients, including 1249 survivors and 1154 nonsurvivors, were included in this meta-analysis. We found that PLR levels were significantly higher in nonsurvivors than in survivors (random effect model: SMD = 0.72, 95% CI; 0.35–1.10, p < 0.001). However, significant heterogeneity was observed across the studies (I2 = 94.1%, p < 0.01). So, we used random effect model in our meta-analysis. In the subgroup analysis, according to mortality time, patients deceased during one month after sepsis had elevated levels of PLR compared to survivors (SMD = 1.03, 95% CI = 0.15-1.92, p = 0.22). However, in-hospital mortality was not associated with PLR level (SMD = 0.41, 95% CI = −0.18-0.99, p = 0.175). Our findings support PLR to be a promising biomarker that can be readily integrated into clinical settings to aid in the prediction and prevention of sepsis mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Platelet transfusions (PTxs) are often given to septic preterm neonates at high platelet count thresholds in an attempt to reduce bleeding risk. However, the largest randomized controlled trial (RCT) of neonatal transfusion thresholds found higher mortality and/or major bleeding in infants transfused at higher thresholds. Using a murine model, we investigated the effects of adult PTx on neonatal sepsis-induced mortality, systemic inflammation, and platelet consumption. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Polymicrobial sepsis was induced via intraperitoneal injection of cecal slurry preparations (CS1, 2, 3) into P10 pups. Two hours after infection, pups were transfused with washed adult Green Flourescent Protein (GFP+) platelets or control. Weights, platelet counts, and GFP% were measured before 4 and 24 h post-infection. At 24 h, blood was collected for quantification of plasma cytokines. RESULTS The CS batches varied in 24 h mortality (11%, 73%, and 30% in CS1, 2, and 3, respectively), due to differences in bacterial composition. PTx had differential effects on sepsis-induced mortality and systemic inflammatory cytokines, increasing both in mice infected with CS1 (low mortality) and decreasing both in mice infected with CS2 and 3. In a mathematical model of platelet kinetics, the consumption of transfused adult platelets was higher than that of endogenous neonatal platelets, regardless of CS batch. DISCUSSION Our findings support the hypothesis that transfused adult platelets are consumed faster than endogenous neonatal platelets in sepsis and demonstrate that PTx can enhance or attenuate neonatal inflammation and mortality in a model of murine polymicrobial sepsis, depending on the composition of the inoculum and/or the severity of sepsis.

Abstract
COVID-19 is associated with an increased risk of thrombotic events. However, the pathogenesis of these complications is unclear and reports on platelet infection and activation by the virus are conflicting. Here, we integrated single-cell transcriptomic data to elucidate whether platelet activation is a specific response to SARS-CoV-2 infection or a consequence of a generalized inflammatory state. Although platelets from patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 over expressed genes involved in activation and aggregation when compared to healthy controls; those differences disappeared when the comparison was made with patients with generalized inflammatory conditions of other etiology than COVID-19. The membrane receptor for the virus, ACE-2, was not expressed by infected or control platelets. Our results suggest that platelet activation in patients with severe COVID-19 is mainly a consequence of a systemic inflammatory state than direct invasion and activation.

Procoagulant platelet sentinels prevent inflammatory bleeding through GPIIBIIIA and GPVI. Blood 2022; 140:121-139.

Abstract
Impairment of vascular integrity is a hallmark of inflammatory diseases. We recently reported that single immune-responsive platelets migrate and re-position themselves to sites of vascular injury to prevent bleeding. However, it remains unclear how single platelets preserve vascular integrity once encountering endothelial breaches. Here we demonstrate by intravital microscopy combined with genetic mouse models that procoagulant activation (PA) of single platelets and subsequent recruitment of the coagulation cascade are crucial for the prevention of inflammatory bleeding. Using a novel lactadherin-based compound we detect phosphatidylserine (PS)-positive procoagulant platelets in the inflamed vasculature. We identify exposed collagen as the central trigger arresting platelets and initiating subsequent PA in a CypD- and TMEM16F-dependent manner both in vivo and in vitro. Platelet PA promotes binding of the prothrombinase complex to the platelet membrane, greatly enhancing thrombin activity resulting in fibrin formation. PA of migrating platelets is initiated by co-stimulation via integrin αIIbβ3 (GPIIBIIIA)/Gα13-mediated outside-in-signaling and GPVI signaling, leading to an above-threshold intracellular calcium release. This effectively targets the coagulation cascade to breaches of vascular integrity identified by patrolling platelets. Platelet-specific genetic loss of either CypD or TMEM16F as well as combined blockade of platelet GPIIBIIIA and GPVI reduce platelet PA in vivo and aggravate pulmonary inflammatory hemorrhage. Our findings illustrate a novel role of procoagulant platelets in the prevention of inflammatory bleeding and provide evidence that PA of patrolling platelet sentinels effectively targets and confines activation of coagulation to breaches of vascular integrity.

Abstract
Neutrophils and platelets are among the most abundant cell types in peripheral blood and characterized by high plasticity and a readily available reservoir of surface proteins and secretable granule contents. Receptor-mediated activation and granule release predispose both cell types for rapid responses to various stimuli. While neutrophils provide the first line of defense to microbial infections and platelets are known for their aggregatory functions in hemostasis and thrombosis, research of the past decade has highlighted that both cell types jointly shape local and systemic immune responses and clot formation alike. Concomitant activation of neutrophils and platelets has been observed in a variety of cardiovascular diseases, including arterial and venous thrombosis, atherosclerosis as well as myocardial infarction and ischemia-reperfusion injury. In this review, we describe the mechanisms by which neutrophils and platelets interact physically, how release of granule contents and soluble molecules by either cell type affects the other and how this mutual activation supports the efficacy of immune responses. We go on to describe how activated platelets contribute to host defense by triggering neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation in a process termed immunothrombosis, which in turn promotes local platelet activation and coagulation. Further, we review current evidence of hazardous overactivation of either cell type and their respective role in cardiovascular disease, with a focus on thrombosis, myocardial infarction and ischemia-reperfusion injury, and describe how neutrophils and platelets shape thromboinflammation in COVID-19. Finally, we provide an overview of therapeutic approaches targeting neutrophil-platelet interactions as novel treatment strategy in cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Fibrosis is a major cause of mortality worldwide, characterized by myofibroblast activation and excessive extracellular matrix deposition. Systemic sclerosis is a prototypic fibrotic disease in which CXCL4 is increased and strongly correlates with skin and lung fibrosis. Here we aim to elucidate the role of CXCL4 in fibrosis development. CXCL4 levels are increased in multiple inflammatory and fibrotic mouse models, and, using CXCL4-deficient mice, we demonstrate the essential role of CXCL4 in promoting fibrotic events in the skin, lungs, and heart. Overexpressing human CXCL4 in mice aggravates, whereas blocking CXCL4 reduces, bleomycin-induced fibrosis. Single-cell ligand-receptor analysis predicts CXCL4 to affect endothelial cells and fibroblasts. In vitro, we confirm that CXCL4 directly induces myofibroblast differentiation and collagen synthesis in different precursor cells, including endothelial cells, by stimulating endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition. Our findings identify a pivotal role of CXCL4 in fibrosis, further substantiating the potential role of neutralizing CXCL4 as a therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
Platelets are unique anucleated blood cells that constantly patrol the vasculature to seal and prevent injuries in a process termed haemostasis. Thereby they rapidly adhere to the subendothelial matrix and recruit further platelets, resulting in platelet aggregates. Apart from their central role in haemostasis, they also kept some of their features inherited by their evolutionary ancestor-the haemocyte, which was also involved in immune defences. Together with leukocytes, platelets fight pathogenic invaders and guide many immune processes. In addition, they rely on several signalling pathways which are also relevant to immune cells. Among these, one of the central signalling hubs is the PI3K pathway. Signalling processes in platelets are unique as they lack a nucleus and therefore transcriptional regulation is absent. As a result, PI3K subclasses fulfil distinct roles in platelets compared to other cells. In contrast to leukocytes, the central PI3K subclass in platelet signalling is PI3K class Iβ, which underlines the uniqueness of this cell type and opens new ways for potential platelet-specific pharmacologic inhibition. An overview of platelet function and signalling with emphasis on PI3K subclasses and their respective inhibitors is given in this chapter.

Abstract
CD4+FoxP3+ regulatory T cells (CD4+ Tregs) are known to dampen inflammation following severe trauma. Platelets were shown to augment their posttraumatic activation in burn injury, but the exact mechanisms remain unclear. We hypothesized that platelet activation mechanisms via GPIIb/IIIa, fibrinogen, and PAR4 have an immunological effect and modulate CD4+ Treg activation early after trauma. Therefore, C57Bl/6 N mice were injected with tirofiban (GPIIb/IIIa inhibition), ancrod (fibrinogen splitting enzyme), or tcY-NH2 (selective PAR4 antagonist peptide) before inducing a third-degree burn injury of 25% of the total body surface area. Changes in coagulation, and local and systemic CD4+ Treg activity were assessed via rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM®) and phospho-flow cytometry 1 h post intervention. The inhibition of GPIIb/IIIa and fibrinogen locally led to a higher basic activity of CD4+ Tregs compared to non-inhibited animals. In contrast, PAR4 disruption on platelets locally led to an increased posttraumatic activation of CD4+ Tregs. Fibrinogen led to complete elimination of coagulation, whereas GPIIb/IIIa or PAR4 inhibition did not. GPIIb/IIIa receptor and fibrinogen inhibition increase CD4+ Tregs activity independently of trauma. Both are crucial for thrombus formation. We suggest platelets trapped in thrombi are unable to interact with CD4+ Tregs but augment their activity when circulating freely. In contrast, PAR4 seems to reduce CD4+ Treg activation following trauma. In summary, GPIIb/IIIa-, PAR4-, and fibrinogen-dependent pathways in platelets modulate CD4+ Treg baseline activity, independently from their hemostatic functionality. PAR4-dependent pathways modulate the posttraumatic interplay of platelets and CD4+ Tregs.

Abstract
COVID-19 infection is associated with a broad spectrum of presentations, but alveolar capillary microthrombi have been described as a common finding in COVID-19 patients, appearing as a consequence of a severe endothelial injury with endothelial cell membrane disruption. These observations clearly point to the identification of a COVID-19-associated coagulopathy, which may contribute to thrombosis, multi-organ damage, and cause of severity and fatality. One significant finding that emerges in prothrombotic abnormalities observed in COVID-19 patients is that the coagulation alterations are mainly mediated by the activation of platelets and intrinsically related to viral-mediated endothelial inflammation. Beyond the well-known role in hemostasis, the ability of platelets to also release various potent cytokines and chemokines has elevated these small cells from simple cell fragments to crucial modulators in the blood, including their inflammatory functions, that have a large influence on the immune response during infectious disease. Indeed, platelets are involved in the pathogenesis of acute lung injury also by promoting NET formation and affecting vascular permeability. Specifically, the deposition by activated platelets of the chemokine platelet factor 4 at sites of inflammation promotes adhesion of neutrophils on endothelial cells and thrombogenesis, and it seems deeply involved in the phenomenon of vaccine-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis. Importantly, the hyperactivated platelet phenotype along with evidence of cytokine storm, high levels of P-selectin, D-dimer, and, on the other hand, decreased levels of fibrinogen, von Willebrand factor, and thrombocytopenia may be considered suitable biomarkers that distinguish the late stage of COVID-19 progression in critically ill patients.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) mediate intercellular communication by transferring genetic material, proteins and organelles between different cells types in both health and disease. Recent evidence suggests that these vesicles, more than simply diagnostic markers, are key mediators of the pathophysiology of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and other lung diseases. In this review, we will discuss the contribution of EVs released by pulmonary structural cells (alveolar epithelial and endothelial cells) and immune cells in these diseases, with particular attention to their ability to modulate inflammation and alveolar-capillary barrier disruption, a hallmark of ARDS. EVs also offer a unique opportunity to develop new therapeutics for the treatment of ARDS. Evidences supporting the ability of stem cell-derived EVs to attenuate the lung injury and ongoing strategies to improve their therapeutic potential are also discussed.

J Clin Lab Anal 2021; 35:e24053. [PMID: 34674393 PMCID: PMC8649348 DOI: 10.1002/jcla.24053] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2021] [Revised: 09/27/2021] [Accepted: 09/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Sepsis‐associated thrombocytopenia (SAT) is common in critical patients and results in the elevation of mortality. Red cell distribution width (RDW) can reflect body response to inflammation and oxidative stress. We try to investigate the relationship between the RDW and the prognosis of patients with SAT through machine learning. Methods 809 patients were retrospectively analyzed from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC‐III) database. The eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) and SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) were used to analyze the impact of each feature. Logistic regression analysis, propensity score matching (PSM), receiver‐operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis, and the Kaplan‐Meier method were used for data processing. Results The patients with thrombocytopenia had higher 28‐day mortality (48.2%). Machine learning indicated that RDW was the second most important in predicting 28‐day mortality. The RDW was significantly increased in non‐survivors by logistic regression and PSM. ROC curve shows that RDW has moderate predictive power for 28‐day mortality. The patients with RDW>16.05 exhibited higher mortality through Kaplan‐Meier analysis. Conclusions Interpretable machine learning can be applied in clinical research. Elevated RDW is not only common in patients with SAT but is also associated with a poor prognosis.

Abstract
Rapid recruitment of neutrophils to an inflamed site is one of the hallmarks of an effective host defense mechanism. The main pathway through which this happens is by the innate immune response. Neutrophils, which play an important part in innate immune defense, migrate into lungs through the modulation actions of chemokines to execute a variety of pro-inflammatory functions. Despite the importance of chemokines in host immunity, little has been discussed on their roles in host immunity. A holistic understanding of neutrophil recruitment, pattern recognition pathways, the roles of chemokines and the pathophysiological roles of neutrophils in host immunity may allow for new approaches in the treatment of infectious and inflammatory disease of the lung. Herein, this review aims at highlighting some of the developments in lung neutrophil-immunity by focusing on the functions and roles of CXC/CC chemokines and pattern recognition receptors in neutrophil immunity during pulmonary inflammations. The pathophysiological roles of neutrophils in COVID-19 and thromboembolism have also been summarized. We finally summarized various neutrophil biomarkers that can be utilized as prognostic molecules in pulmonary inflammations and discussed various neutrophil-targeted therapies for neutrophil-driven pulmonary inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Objectives: The effect of postoperative thrombocytopenia on adverse events among coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the association between postoperative thrombocytopenia and perioperative outcomes of CABG. Methods: This is a retrospective study with MIMIC-III (Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III) database. Adult patients who underwent CABG were included to analyze the impact of thrombocytopenia in patients' outcomes. Postoperative thrombocytopenia was defined as a platelet count <100 × 109/L on the first day after CABG surgery. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was utilized to adjust the effect of thrombocytopenia on outcomes for baseline and covariates, and to determine the association with outcomes. Results: A total of 4,915 patients were included, and postoperative thrombocytopenia occurred in 696 (14.2%) patients. Postoperative thrombocytopenia was not associated with increased 28-day mortality (OR 0.75; 95% CI 0.33-1.72; P = 0.496) or in-hospital mortality (OR 0.75; 95% CI 0.34-1.63; P = 0.463) after adjusting for confounders. Regarding the secondary outcomes, it was associated with a higher risk of a prolonged stay in the intensive care unit (OR 1.53; 95% CI 1.18-1.97; P = 0.001), prolonged hospital stays (OR 1.58; 95% CI 1.21-2.06; P = 0.001), prolonged mechanical ventilation time (OR 1.67; 95% CI 1.14-2.44; P = 0.009), and a trend toward increased occurrence of massive bleeding (OR 1.41; 95% CI 1.00-2.01; P = 0.054). There was no significant association between an increased risk of prolonged vasopressor use and the continuous renal replacement therapy rate. Conclusions: Postoperative thrombocytopenia was associated with prolonged ICU and hospital stays but not with increased perioperative mortality among CABG patients.

Abstract
Transfusion of platelet concentrates (PCs) is associated with several adverse patient reactions, the most common of which are febrile non-hemolytic transfusion reactions (FNHTRs) and transfusion-associated bacterial-infection/transfusion-associated sepsis (T-ABI/TA-S). Diagnosis of T-ABI/T-AS requires a positive blood culture (BC) result from the transfusion recipient and also a positive identification of bacterial contamination within a test aliquot of the transfused PC. In a significant number of cases, clinical symptoms post-transfusion are reported by the clinician, yet the BCs from the patient and/or PC are negative. The topic of 'missed bacterial detection' has therefore been the focus of several primary research studies and review articles, suggesting that biofilm formation in the blood bag and the presence of viable but non-culturable (VBNC) pathogens are the major causes of this missed detection. However, platelets are emerging as key players in early host responses to infection and as such, the aforementioned biofilm formation could elicit 'platelet priming', which could lead to significant immunological reactions in the host, in the absence of planktonic bacteria in the host bloodstream. This review reflects on what is known about missed detection and relates this to the emerging understanding of the effect of bacterial contamination on the platelets themselves and the significant role played by platelets in exacerbation of an immune response to infection within the transfusion setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ticagrelor has a bactericidal effect in vitro, and clinical studies suggest a beneficial effect in infections. Our aim was to determine the incidence of infections in patients treated with 3 different P2Y12 receptor inhibitors. METHODS Retrospective registry in a cardiology department. Patients with coronary artery disease discharged on ticagrelor, prasugrel, or clopidogrel from March 2017 to June 2019 were included. The risk of infection was analyzed during the period of P2Y12 inhibitor treatment (12.4 ± 6.7 months). RESULTS A total of 250 patients were included (ticagrelor 91 [36.4%], prasugrel 89 [35.6%], clopidogrel 70 [28.0%]). Mean age was 61.0 ± 13.1 years, and 63 (25.2%) were women. The most common reason to use these drugs was ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) (152 patients - 60.8%). STEMI was the reason to use prasugrel in 84 patients (94.4%), ticagrelor in 44 (48.4%), and clopidogrel in 24 (34.3%), p < 0.001. An infection during follow-up was seen in 87 patients (34.8%), 23 treated with ticagrelor (25.3%), 30 with prasugrel (33.7%) and 34 with clopidogrel (48.6%), p = 0.009. Ticagrelor was independently associated with a lower likelihood of infection (Hazard Ratio [HR] 0.52, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.28-0.95; p = 0.035) compared to prasugrel (HR 0.96, 95% CI 0.54-1.73; p = 0.909) and clopidogrel (HR = 1). CONCLUSIONS In patients admitted with coronary artery disease patients treated with ticagrelor had a lower frequency of infections during follow-up than those treated with other P2Y12 inhibitors. Further studies are necessary to clarify the bactericidal effect of ticagrelor in this context.

Abstract
Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is a rare but potentially deadly manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical characteristics and risk factors of DAH in SLE. A systematic review and meta-analysis of previous observational studies compared the clinical characteristics and risk factors between DAH-SLE and SLE patients without DAH. A total of 5 observational studies were included in this meta-analysis. Compared with the SLE patients without DAH, DAH-SLE patients had a significantly higher incidence of neuropsychiatric events (OR = 4.321, 95% CI (1.686-11.073), P = 0.002, I2 = 49.2%), nephritis (OR = 3.146, 95% CI (1.663-5.955,), P = 0.000, I2 = 0.0%), serositis (OR = 6.028, 95% CI (1.418-25.635), P = 0.015, I2 = 80.3%), dyspnea (OR = 31.241,95% CI (0.202-4833.203), P = 0.181, I2 = 94.6%), and a significantly lower level of C3 (SMD = - 1.358, 95% CI - 1.685, - 1.031), P = 0.000, I2 = 98.0%), C4 (SMD = - 1.251, 95% CI (- 1.648, - 0.855), P = 0.000, I2 = 87.7%), hemoglobin (SMD = - 2.074, 95% CI (- 2.433, - 1.715), P = 0.000, I2 = 94.2%), and a higher SLEDAI-2K score (SMD = 1.284, 95% CI (0.959, 1.608), P = 0.000, I2 = 98.2%). However, due to significant heterogeneity, some of these results should be interpreted cautiously. Nevertheless, when the above abnormal indicators are found, especially neuropsychiatric involvement and nephritis, besides the existed diagnostic criteria for DAH in SLE patients, a diagnosis for DAH should be considered and relevant treatment timely initiated. Further prospective multi-center SLE studies with a large cohort of patients and long-term follow-up are needed to clarify further or find out the specific clinical indexes for DAH in SLE patients.

Platelet and Erythrocyte Extravasation across Inflamed Corneal Venules Depend on CD18, Neutrophils, and Mast Cell Degranulation. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22147360. [PMID: 34298979 PMCID: PMC8329926 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22147360] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2021] [Revised: 06/28/2021] [Accepted: 07/04/2021] [Indexed: 01/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Platelet extravasation during inflammation is under-appreciated. In wild-type (WT) mice, a central corneal epithelial abrasion initiates neutrophil (PMN) and platelet extravasation from peripheral limbal venules. The same injury in mice expressing low levels of the β2-integrin, CD18 (CD18hypo mice) shows reduced platelet extravasation with PMN extravasation apparently unaffected. To better define the role of CD18 on platelet extravasation, we focused on two relevant cell types expressing CD18: PMNs and mast cells. Following corneal abrasion in WT mice, we observed not only extravasated PMNs and platelets but also extravasated erythrocytes (RBCs). Ultrastructural observations of engorged limbal venules showed platelets and RBCs passing through endothelial pores. In contrast, injured CD18hypo mice showed significantly less venule engorgement and markedly reduced platelet and RBC extravasation; mast cell degranulation was also reduced compared to WT mice. Corneal abrasion in mast cell-deficient (KitW-sh/W-sh) mice showed less venule engorgement, delayed PMN extravasation, reduced platelet and RBC extravasation and delayed wound healing compared to WT mice. Finally, antibody-induced depletion of circulating PMNs prior to corneal abrasion reduced mast cell degranulation, venule engorgement, and extravasation of PMNs, platelets, and RBCs. In summary, in the injured cornea, platelet and RBC extravasation depends on CD18, PMNs, and mast cell degranulation.

Abstract
Ozone is a toxic and highly reactive gaseous oxidizing chemical with well‐documented adverse health effects in humans. On the basis of animal and human data, environmental guidelines and air quality standards recommend a threshold for exposure of no more than 0.063 ppm of ozone (daily concentrations). This research describes a standardized sensitive model of sterile murine lung inflammation induced by exposing mice to acute (0, 4 or 24 hr), yet low, levels of ozone (0.005, 0.05 or 0.5 ppm), one that are below the current recommendations for what is considered a safe or “ambient” ozone concentration for humans. Ozone led to concentration and time‐dependent phlogistic cell death in the bronchoalveolar lavage, lung epithelial damage and hemorrhage. Interestingly, we observed distinct large bright CD11b positive cells in the bronchoalveolar lavage, upregulation of lung vascular and alveolar ATP synthase as well as plasminogen and bronchiolar angiostatin expression in ozone‐exposed mice, platelet and neutrophil accumulation in the lung vasculature and an eotaxin‐2, IL‐16, CXCL5, CXCL12, and CXCL13 dominant inflammatory response leading to lung injury. Using a fluorescent intravital microscopy set up, we quantified ozone‐induced extensive alveolar cellular damage. We observed ozone‐induced actin filament disorganization, perturbed respiratory mechanics, acute suppression of the alveolar reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and mitochondrial potential in ventilated lungs. We present evidence of systemic, as well as pulmonary toxicity, at 40‐fold lower ozone concentrations than previously reported in mice. The findings are important in establishing a sensitive means of quantifying structural and functional lung disorganization following exposure to an aerosolized pollutant, even at levels of ozone exposure previously thought to be safe in humans.

Abstract
Beyond hemostasis, platelets actively participate in immune cell recruitment and host defense, yet their potential in the resolution of inflammatory processes remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that platelets are recruited into the lung together with neutrophils during the onset of inflammation and alongside regulatory T (T reg) cells during the resolution phase. This partnering dichotomy is regulated by differential adhesion molecule expression during resolution. Mechanistically, intravascular platelets form aggregates with T reg cells, a prerequisite for their recruitment into the lung. This interaction relies on platelet activation by sCD40L and platelet P-selectin binding to PSGL-1 on T reg cells. Physical platelet–T reg cell interactions are necessary to modulate the transcriptome and instruct T reg cells to release the anti-inflammatory mediators IL-10 and TGFβ. Notably, the presence of platelet–T reg cell aggregates in the lung was also required for macrophage transcriptional reprogramming, polarization toward an anti-inflammatory phenotype, and effective resolution of pulmonary inflammation. Thus, platelets partner with successive immune cell subsets to orchestrate both the initiation and resolution of inflammation.

Diannexin Can Ameliorate Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Rats by Promoting Heme Oxygenase-1 Expression. Mediators Inflamm 2021; 2021:1946384. [PMID: 33927569 PMCID: PMC8052135 DOI: 10.1155/2021/1946384] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2020] [Revised: 02/04/2021] [Accepted: 03/22/2021] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The recombinant protein diannexin can inhibit platelet-mediated events, which contribute to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Here, we investigated the effect of diannexin and its effect on heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in ARDS. Methods A total of 32 rats were randomized into sham, ARDS, diannexin (D), and diannexin+HO-1 inhibitor (DH) groups. Alveolar-capillary permeability was evaluated by testing the partial pressure of oxygen to fraction of inspired oxygen (PaO2/FiO2) ratio, lung wet/dry weight ratio, and protein levels in the lung. Inflammation was assessed by measuring cytokine levels in the bronchial alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and serum and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) in the lung tissue. Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), malondialdehyde (MDA), and myeloperoxidase (MPO) were measured to evaluate the oxidative stress response. Lung tissue pathology and apoptosis were also evaluated. We measured HO-1 expression in the lung tissue to investigate the effect of diannexin on HO-1 in ARDS. Results Compared with the ARDS group, diannexin improved PaO2/FiO2, lung wet/dry weight ratio, and protein levels in the BALF and decreased levels of cytokines and NF-κB in the lung and serum. Diannexin inhibited the oxidative stress response and significantly ameliorated pathological lung injury and apoptosis. The partial reversal of diannexin effects by a HO-1 inhibitor suggests that diannexin may promote HO-1 expression to ameliorate ARDS. Conclusions We showed that diannexin can improve alveolar-capillary permeability, inhibit the oxidative stress response and inflammation, and protect against ARDS-induced lung injury and apoptosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Removal of cytokines, chemokines, and microvesicles from the supernatant of allogeneic erythrocytes may help mitigate adverse transfusion reactions. Blood bank-based washing procedures present logistical difficulties; therefore, we tested the hypothesis that on-demand bedside washing of allogeneic erythrocyte units is capable of removing soluble factors and is feasible in a clinical setting. METHODS There were in vitro and prospective, observation cohort components to this a priori planned substudy evaluating bedside allogeneic erythrocyte washing, with a cell saver, during cardiac surgery. Laboratory data were collected from the first 75 washed units given to a subset of patients nested in the intervention arm of a parent clinical trial. Paired pre- and postwash samples from the blood unit bags were centrifuged. The supernatant was aspirated and frozen at -70°C, then batch-tested for cell-derived microvesicles, soluble CD40 ligand, chemokine ligand 5, and neutral lipids (all previously associated with transfusion reactions) and cell-free hemoglobin (possibly increased by washing). From the entire cohort randomized to the intervention arm of the trial, bedside washing was defined as feasible if at least 75% of prescribed units were washed per protocol. RESULTS Paired data were available for 74 units. Washing reduced soluble CD40 ligand (median [interquartile range]; from 143 [1 to 338] ng/ml to zero), chemokine ligand 5 (from 1,314 [715 to 2,551] to 305 [179 to 488] ng/ml), and microvesicle numbers (from 6.90 [4.10 to 20.0] to 0.83 [0.33 to 2.80] × 106), while cell-free hemoglobin concentration increased from 72.6 (53.6 to 171.6) mg/dl to 210.5 (126.6 to 479.6) mg/dl (P < 0.0001 for each). There was no effect on neutral lipids. Bedside washing was determined as feasible for 80 of 81 patients (99%); overall, 293 of 314 (93%) units were washed per protocol. CONCLUSIONS Bedside erythrocyte washing was clinically feasible and greatly reduced concentrations of soluble factors thought to be associated with transfusion-related adverse reactions, increasing concentrations of cell-free hemoglobin while maintaining acceptable (less than 0.8%) hemolysis.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Platelets have been shown to play an important immunomodulatory role in the pathogenesis of various diseases through their interactions with other immune and nonimmune cells. Sepsis is a major cause of death in the United States, and many of the mechanisms driving sepsis pathology are still unresolved. Monocytes have recently received increasing attention in sepsis pathogenesis, and multiple studies have associated increased levels of platelet-monocyte aggregates observed early in sepsis with clinical outcomes in sepsis patients. These findings suggest platelet-monocyte aggregates may be an important prognostic indicator. However, the mechanisms leading to platelet interaction and aggregation with monocytes, and the effects of aggregation during sepsis are still poorly defined. There are few studies that have really investigated functions of platelets and monocytes together, despite a large body of research showing separate functions of platelets and monocytes in inflammation and immune responses during sepsis. The goal of this review is to provide insights into what we do know about mechanisms and biological meanings of platelet-monocyte interactions, as well as some of the technical challenges and limitations involved in studying this important potential mechanism in sepsis pathogenesis. Improving our understanding of platelet and monocyte biology in sepsis may result in identification of novel targets that can be used to positively affect outcomes in sepsis.

Abstract
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a unique imaging method providing insights in cellular functions and interactions in real-time, without the need for tissue extraction from the body. IVM of the lungs has specific challenges such as restricted organ accessibility, respiratory movements, and limited penetration depth. Various surgical approaches and microscopic setups have been adapted in order to overcome these challenges. Among others, these include the development of suction stabilized lung windows and the use of more advanced optical techniques. Consequently, lung IVM has uncovered mechanisms of leukocyte recruitment and function in several models of pulmonary inflammation and infection. This review focuses on bacterial pneumonia, aspiration pneumonia, sepsis-induced acute lung Injury, and cystic fibrosis, as examples of lung inflammation and infection. In addition, critical details of intravital imaging techniques of the lungs are discussed.

Abstract
Breakdown of vascular barriers is a major complication of inflammatory diseases. Anucleate platelets form blood-clots during thrombosis, but also play a crucial role in inflammation. While spatio-temporal dynamics of clot formation are well characterized, the cell-biological mechanisms of platelet recruitment to inflammatory micro-environments remain incompletely understood. Here we identify Arp2/3-dependent lamellipodia formation as a prominent morphological feature of immune-responsive platelets. Platelets use lamellipodia to scan for fibrin(ogen) deposited on the inflamed vasculature and to directionally spread, to polarize and to govern haptotactic migration along gradients of the adhesive ligand. Platelet-specific abrogation of Arp2/3 interferes with haptotactic repositioning of platelets to microlesions, thus impairing vascular sealing and provoking inflammatory microbleeding. During infection, haptotaxis promotes capture of bacteria and prevents hematogenic dissemination, rendering platelets gate-keepers of the inflamed microvasculature. Consequently, these findings identify haptotaxis as a key effector function of immune-responsive platelets. Breakdown of vascular barriers is a major complication of inflammatory diseases. However, the mechanisms underlying platelet recruitment to inflammatory micro-environments remains unclear. Here, the authors identify haptotaxis as a key effector function of immune-responsive platelets

Abstract
Rationale: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading cause of childhood respiratory infections worldwide; however, no vaccine is available, and treatment options are limited. Identification of host factors pivotal to viral replication may inform the development of novel therapies, prophylaxes, or diagnoses.Objectives: To identify host factors involved in RSV replication and to evaluate their potential for disease management.Methods: A gain-of-function screening was performed on the basis of a genome-wide human complementary DNA library screen for host factors involved in RSV replication. The antiviral mechanism of CXCL4 (chemokine [C-X-C motif] ligand 4) was analyzed. Its clinical role was evaluated via nasopharyngeal aspirates and plasma samples from patients with RSV infection and different disease severities.Measurements and Main Results: Forty-nine host factors restricting RSV replication were identified by gain-of-function screening, with CXCL4 showing the strongest antiviral effect, which was secretion dependent. CXCL4 blocked viral attachment through binding to the RSV main receptor heparan sulfate, instead of through interacting with RSV surface proteins. Intranasal pretreatment with CXCL4 alleviated inflammation in RSV-infected mice, as shown by decreased concentrations of tumor necrosis factor and viral load in BAL fluid samples as well as by viral nucleocapsid protein histological staining in lungs. Compared with non-RSV infections, RSV infections induced elevated CXCL4 concentrations both in plasma and airway samples from mice and pediatric patients. The airway CXCL4 concentration was correlated with viral load and disease severity in patients (P < 0.001).Conclusions: Our results suggest that CXCL4 is an RSV restriction factor that can block viral entry and serve as an indicator of clinical severity in RSV infections.
