Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction has been known to contribute to the worsening of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We screened differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between AMI and healthy individuals based on the GSE66360 dataset. We took the intersection of the obtained DEGs with 1,136 mitochondria-related genes. Finally, we screened out mitochondria-related DEGs (MitoDEGs). Eight MitoDEGs were identified as hub genes based on the random forest algorithm. Two mitochondria-related robust molecular clusters were identified by consensus clustering. Immune infiltration analysis showed that immune cell infiltration was significantly increased in the high-expression group of MitoDEGs. We obtained the potential drugs targeted at ALDH2, PMAIP1, and BCL2A1, such as disulfiram, obatoclax mesylate, and bortezomib. Quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction further validated the expression of the MitoDEGs in the cell model of AMI. These findings reveal the potential role of MitoDEGs in AMI and provide new insights into risk stratification and individualized treatment of AMI patients.

Abstract
The activation of host's innate and adaptive immune systems can lead to acute and chronic graft rejection, which seriously impacts graft survival. Thus, it is particularly significant to clarify the immune signals, which are critical to the initiation and maintenance of rejection generated after transplantation. The initiation of response to graft is dependent on sensing of danger and stranger molecules. The ischemia and reperfusion of grafts lead to cell stress or death, followed by releasing a variety of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), which are recognized by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) of host immune cells to activate intracellular immune signals and induce sterile inflammation. In addition to DAMPs, the graft exposed to 'non-self' antigens (stranger molecules) are recognized by the host immune system, stimulating a more intense immune response and further aggravating the graft damage. The polymorphism of MHC genes between different individuals is the key for host or donor immune cells to identify heterologous 'non-self' components in allogeneic and xenogeneic organ transplantation. The recognition of 'non-self' antigen by immune cells mediates the activation of immune signals between donor and host, resulting in adaptive memory immunity and innate trained immunity to the graft, which poses a challenge to the long-term survival of the graft. This review focuses on innate and adaptive immune cells receptor recognition of damage-associated molecular patterns, alloantigens and xenoantigens, which is described as danger model and stranger model. In this review, we also discuss the innate trained immunity in organ transplantation.

Abstract
Objectives Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is characterized as an incredibly aggressive form of cancer with a dismal diagnosis and a dearth of specific biomarkers and therapeutic options. For MPM patients, the effectiveness of immunotherapy may be influenced by damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP)-induced immunogenic cell death (ICD).The objective of this work is to create a molecular profile associated with DAMPs to categorize MPM patients and predict their prognosis and response to immunotherapy. Methods The RNA-seq of 397 patients (263 patients with clinical data, 57.2% male, 73.0% over 60 yrs.) were gathered from eight public datasets as a training cohort to identify the DAMPs-associated subgroups of MPMs using K-means analysis. Three validation cohorts of patients or murine were established from TCGA and GEO databases. Comparisons were made across each subtype's immune status, gene mutations, survival prognosis, and predicted response to therapy. Results Based on the DAMPs gene expression, MPMs were categorized into two subtypes: the nuclear DAMPs subtype, which is classified by the upregulation of immune-suppressed pathways, and the inflammatory DAMPs subtype, which is distinguished by the enrichment of proinflammatory cytokine signaling. The inflammatory DAMPs subgroup had a better prognosis, while the nuclear DAMPs subgroup exhibited a worse outcome. In validation cohorts, the subtyping system was effectively verified. We further identified the genetic differences between the two DAMPs subtypes. It was projected that the inflammatory DAMPs subtype will respond to immunotherapy more favorably, suggesting that the developed clustering method may be implemented to predict the effectiveness of immunotherapy. Conclusion We constructed a subtyping model based on ICD-associated DAMPs in MPM, which might serve as a signature to gauge the outcomes of immune checkpoint blockades. Our research may aid in the development of innovative immunomodulators as well as the advancement of precision immunotherapy for MPM.

Expression profile and bioinformatics analysis of circular RNAs in acute ischemic stroke in a South Chinese Han population. Sci Rep 2020; 10:10138. [PMID: 32576868 PMCID: PMC7311391 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-66990-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2019] [Accepted: 05/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Recent studies have found that circular RNAs (circRNAs) play crucial roles not only in the normal growth and the development of different tissues and organs but also in the pathogenesis and progression of various disorders. However, the expression patterns and the function of circRNAs in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in the South Chinese Han population are unclear. In the present study, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data was generated from 3 AIS patients and 3 healthy controls. The circRNAs were detected and identified by CIRI2 and Find_circ software. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analyses were used to detect the expression of circRNAs. Meanwhile, the potential diagnostic value of the selected circRNAs for AIS was assessed by generating receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve with area under curve (AUC). The bioinformatic analysis of the host genes of differentially expressed (DE) circRNAs was performed by gene ontology (GO) enrichment, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis, KOBAS for pathway analysis and regulatory network analysis. miRNA-circRNA and miRNA-mRNA interactions were predicted by using TargetScan, miRanda and starBase. CircRNA-miRNA-mRNA interaction networks were created with Cytoscape. Our result showed that there were 2270 DE circRNAs between AIS patients and healthy controls. Among them, 659 were found upregulated and 1611 were downregulated. Bioinformatic analysis showed that the DE circRNAs were related to the following biological processes: endocytosis, energy metabolism, apoptosis, FoxO signaling pathway, platelet activation, neurotrophin signaling pathway and VEGF signaling pathway, which may be associated with the pathological of AIS. Three randomly selected circRNAs were successfully validated by qRT-PCR. The results show that hsa_circ_0005548 was significantly upregulated, while hsa_circ_0000607 and hsa_circ_0002465 were significantly downregulated in AIS. Furthermore, the AUC values for hsa_circ_005548, hsa_circ_0000607 and hsa_circ_0002465 were 0.51, 0.75 and 0.69, respectively, suggesting that hsa_circ_0000607 and hsa_circ_0002465 could be potential biomarkers for AIS. In addition, Bcl2 was predicted to be a direct target of miR-337-3p, and hsa_circRNA_0000607 was predicted to act as a sponge for miR-337-3p. Thus, hsa_circ_0000607 may be involved in AIS by regulating the miR-337-3p/Bcl2 axis. Collectively, our findings indicate that numerous dysregulated circRNAs may play pivotal functional roles in AIS and hsa_circ_0000607 may play a crucial role in the pathogenesis and progression of AIS by regulating the miR-337-3p/Bcl2 axis.

Abstract
Background: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been confirmed to be associated with ischemic stroke (IS); however, their involvement still needs to be extensively explored. Therefore, we aimed to study the expression profile of lncRNAs and the potential roles and mechanisms of lncRNAs in the pathogenesis of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in the Southern Chinese Han population. Methods: In this study, lncRNA and mRNA expression profiles in AIS were analyzed using high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) and validated using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment and network analyses were performed to predict the functions and interactions of the aberrantly expressed genes. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to evaluate the diagnostic value of lncRNAs in AIS. Results: RNA-Seq analysis showed that 428 lncRNAs and 957 mRNAs were significantly upregulated, while 791 lncRNAs and 4,263 mRNAs were downregulated in patients with AIS when compared with healthy controls. GO enrichment and KEGG pathway analyses of differentially expressed genes showed that the apoptosis, inflammatory, oxidative and calcium signaling pathways were potentially implicated in AIS pathology. The PCR results showed that the selected lncRNA-C14orf64 and lncRNA-AC136007.2 were significantly downregulated in AIS. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the ROC curve (AUC) values of lncRNA-C14orf64 and lncRNA-AC136007.2 between AIS and healthy controls were 0.74 and 0.94, respectively. Conclusion: This study provides evidence of altered expression of lncRNAs and their potential functions in AIS. Our findings may facilitate pathological mechanistic studies of lncRNAs in AIS and provide potential diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for AIS.

Abstract
Immunotherapy is revolutionizing the treatment of cancer, and the current immunotherapeutics have remarkably improved the outcomes for some cancer patients. However, we still need answers for patients with immunologically cold tumors that do not benefit from the current immunotherapy treatments. Here, we suggest a novel strategy that is based on using a very old and sophisticated system for cancer immunotherapy, namely "intrinsic cancer vaccination", which seeks to awaken our own immune system to activate tumor-specific T cells. To do this, we must take advantage of the genetic instability of cancer cells and the expression of cancer cell neoantigens to trigger immunity against cancer cells. It will be necessary to not only enhance the phagocytosis of cancer cells by antigen presenting cells but also induce immunogenic cancer cell death and the subsequent immunogenic clearance, cross-priming and generation of tumor-specific T cells. This strategy will allow us to avoid using known tumor-specific antigens, ex vivo manipulation or adoptive cell therapy; rather, we will efficiently present cancer cell neoantigens to our immune system and propagate the cancer-immunity cycle. This strategy simply follows the natural cycle of cancer-immunity from its very first step, and therefore could be combined with any other treatment modality to yield enhanced efficacy.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the early expression of autophagy-associated proteins in lung tissues in acute lung injury (ALI) induced by remote limb ischemia-reperfusion (LIR) by using rats as our test specimens. Method: A total of 48 adult male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats with weights in the range of 220–250[Formula: see text]g were designated as LIR models, and divided randomly into two groups of 24 each: Sham group and ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) group. Then, each group was divided into four subgroups at the end of 0, 2, 4, 8[Formula: see text]h of reperfusion, after 3[Formula: see text]h of ischemia. The rats were anesthetized by pentobarbital sodium. The serum lactate dehydrogenases (LDH) were detected with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the pathological changes of lung tissues were observed by using immunofluorescence techniques. The expression of Beclin1 protein and Atg5 mRNA in the lung tissues were detected by using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and analyzed by 2[Formula: see text] method; Microtubules associated protein light chain 3 (LC3) in the lung tissues were detected by Western blot test. Result: The levels of serum LDH in I/R groups were much higher than those in Sham groups ([Formula: see text]), which showed that the rats models of LIR were successful. Immunofluorescence examination demonstrated injuries of lung tissues, thickening of alveolar septum and partial consolidation in I/R groups; however, this damage was not observed significantly in Sham groups. The expression of Beclin1 and Atg5 mRNA, LC3-II and the ratio of LC3-II/GAPDH in lung tissues were very much higher at 4 and 8[Formula: see text]h in IR groups ([Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text]), and were significantly higher at the same time compared with Sham groups ([Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text]). Conclusion: LIR causes ALI to induce increased autophagy and high expression of its relevant proteins; while continuous I/R can also cause autophagy inhibition.

Abstract
The immunogenicity of malignant cells has recently been acknowledged as a critical determinant of efficacy in cancer therapy. Thus, besides developing direct immunostimulatory regimens, including dendritic cell-based vaccines, checkpoint-blocking therapies, and adoptive T-cell transfer, researchers have started to focus on the overall immunobiology of neoplastic cells. It is now clear that cancer cells can succumb to some anticancer therapies by undergoing a peculiar form of cell death that is characterized by an increased immunogenic potential, owing to the emission of the so-called “damage-associated molecular patterns” (DAMPs). The emission of DAMPs and other immunostimulatory factors by cells succumbing to immunogenic cell death (ICD) favors the establishment of a productive interface with the immune system. This results in the elicitation of tumor-targeting immune responses associated with the elimination of residual, treatment-resistant cancer cells, as well as with the establishment of immunological memory. Although ICD has been characterized with increased precision since its discovery, several questions remain to be addressed. Here, we summarize and tabulate the main molecular, immunological, preclinical, and clinical aspects of ICD, in an attempt to capture the essence of this phenomenon, and identify future challenges for this rapidly expanding field of investigation.

Modulation of radiochemoimmunotherapy-induced B16 melanoma cell death by the pan-caspase inhibitor zVAD-fmk induces anti-tumor immunity in a HMGB1-, nucleotide- and T-cell-dependent manner. Cell Death Dis 2015; 6:e1761. [PMID: 25973681 PMCID: PMC4669707 DOI: 10.1038/cddis.2015.129] [Citation(s) in RCA: 72] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2014] [Revised: 03/17/2015] [Accepted: 04/06/2015] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
One prerequisite that radiotherapy (RT) and chemotherapy (CT) result in anti-tumor immune responses is triggering of immunogenic cell death forms such as necroptosis. The latter is inducible by inhibition of apoptosis with the pan-caspase inhibitor zVAD-fmk. The design of multimodal therapies that overcome melanoma's resistance to apoptosis is a big challenge of oncoimmunology. As hints exist that immune stimulation by hyperthermia (HT) augments the efficacy of melanoma therapies and that tumors can be sensitized for RT with zVAD-fmk, we asked whether combinations of RT with dacarbazine (DTIC) and/or HT induce immunogenic melanoma cell death and how this is especially influenced by zVAD-fmk. Necroptosis was inducible in poorly immunogenic B16-F10 melanoma cells and zVAD-fmk generally increased melanoma cell necrosis concomitantly with the release of HMGB1. Supernatants (SNs) of melanoma cells whose cell death was modulated with zVAD-fmk induced an upregulation of the activation markers CD86 and MHCII on macrophages. The same was seen on dendritic cells (DCs), but only when zVAD-fmk was added to multimodal tumor treatments including DTIC. DCs of MyD88 KO mice and DCs incubated with SNs containing apyrase did not increase the expression of these activation markers on their surface. The in vivo experiments revealed that zVAD-fmk decreases the tumor growth significantly and results in a significantly reduced tumor infiltration of Tregs when added to multimodal treatment of the tumor with RT, DTIC and HT. Further, a significantly increased DC and CD8+ T-cell infiltration into the tumor and in the draining lymph nodes was induced, as well as an increased expression of IFNγ by CD8+ T cells. However, zVAD-fmk did not further reduce tumor growth in MyD88 KO mice, mice treated with apyrase or RAG KO mice. We conclude that HMGB1, nucleotides and CD8+ T cells mediate zVAD-fmk induced anti-melanoma immune reactions in multimodal therapy settings.

Abstract
It is unclear whether Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 plays a role in post-ischemic myocardial inflammatory response and cardiac dysfunction in both males and females. Permanent ischemia was induced in male and female C57BL/6J (wild-type, WT) and TLR2 knockout (KO) mice. Infarct size and left ventricular (LV) function were analyzed at day 7. Myocardial levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), as well as neutrophil infiltration, were assessed at day 3, and mononuclear cell accumulation was determined at day 7. Lower MCP-1 and ICAM-1 levels, and reduced leukocyte accumulation correlated with smaller infarct size and improved LV function in male TLR2 KO mice. Female WT mice exhibited attenuated myocardial inflammatory response and injury, and TLR2 KO in females did not provide a protective effect although myocardial TLR2 levels in female WT mice were unaltered, and their cardiac cells responded to bacterial TLR2 agonist properly. TLR2 KO in male mice reduced post-ischemic myocardial inflammatory response, resulting in smaller infarct sizes and improved cardiac function. However, TLR2 KO was not beneficial in female mice. The gender disparity in the role of TLR2 in post-ischemic myocardial inflammatory response and myocardial injury suggests that interception with TLR2 signaling may have therapeutic potentials only in males.

Abstract
We previously reported that removal of sialyl residues primed PBMCs to respond to bacterial LPS stimulation in vitro. Therefore, we speculated that prior desialylation can sensitize the host to generate an enhanced inflammatory response upon exposure to a TLR ligand, such as LPS, in a murine model of acute lung injury. Intratracheal instillation of neuraminidase (NA) 30 min prior to intratracheal administration of LPS increased polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and the wet-to-dry lung weight ratio, a measure of pulmonary edema, compared with mice that received LPS alone. Administration of NA alone resulted in desialylation of bronchiolar and alveolar surfaces and induction of TNF-α, IL-1β, and chemokines in lung homogenates and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid; however, PMN recruitment in mice treated with NA alone did not differ from that of PBS-administered controls. NA pretreatment alone induced apoptosis and markedly enhanced LPS-induced endothelial apoptosis. Administration of recombinant Bcl-2, an antiapoptotic molecule, abolished the effect of NA treatment on LPS-induced PMN recruitment and pulmonary edema formation. We conclude that NA pretreatment potentiates LPS-induced lung injury through enhanced PMN recruitment, pulmonary edema formation, and endothelial and myeloid cell apoptosis. A similar "reprogramming" of immune responses with desialylation may occur during respiratory infection with NA-expressing microbes and contribute to severe lung injury.

Abstract
Cancer immunosurvelliance usually leads to formation of cancer cells that have been "immunoedited" to resist anti-tumor immunity. One of the consequences of immunoediting that is, reduced immunogenicity, is an important roadblock in revival of stable and long-lasting anti-tumor immune responses. Research done during the last decade has shown that emission by the dying cancer cells of immunomodulatory factors or damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), which can act as danger signals, is a critical event in accentuating the immunogenicity of cancer cells, in response to a subset of anticancer treatments. Recent evidence has defined that an apoptotic cell death subroutine and its underlying biochemistry, which has been termed as "immunogenic cell death (ICD)" or "immunogenic apoptosis," is required for the efficient emission of DAMPs and inciting anti-tumor immunity. Here, we review the basic concepts of ICD, like cancer immunogenicity, danger signals, and DAMPs. Moreover, we discuss the emerging molecular links between endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, induction of a viral response-like gene expression, danger signals, and anti-tumor immunity. We envisage that along with ER stress-based trafficking of DAMPs (which is a "short-range communicator" of danger), the accompanying induction of a viral response-like gene expression and the secretion of anti-tumorigenic cytokines may become a crucial signature of ICD induction by anticancer therapy.

Abstract
Inflammation is a beneficial host reaction to tissue damage and has the essential primary purpose of restoring tissue homeostasis. Inflammation plays a major role in containing and resolving infection and may also occur under sterile conditions. The cardinal signs of inflammation dolor, calor, tumor and rubor are intrinsically associated with events including vasodilatation, edema and leukocyte trafficking into the site of inflammation. If uncontrolled or unresolved, inflammation itself can lead to further tissue damage and give rise to chronic inflammatory diseases and autoimmunity with eventual loss of organ function. It is now evident that the resolution of inflammation is an active continuous process that occurs during an acute inflammatory episode. Successful resolution requires activation of endogenous programs with switch from production of pro-inflammatory towards pro-resolving molecules, such as specific lipid mediators and annexin A1, and the non-phlogistic elimination of granulocytes by apoptosis with subsequent removal by surrounding macrophages. These processes ensure rapid restoration of tissue homeostasis. Here, we review recent advances in the understanding of resolution of inflammation, highlighting the pharmacological strategies that may interfere with the molecular pathways which control leukocyte survival and clearance. Such strategies have proved beneficial in several pre-clinical models of inflammatory diseases, suggesting that pharmacological modulation of the resolution process may be useful for the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases in humans.

Abstract
A1/Bfl-1 is a NF-κB dependent, anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family member that contains four Bcl-2 homology domains (BH) and an amphipathic C-terminal domain, and is expressed in endothelial cells (EC). Based on NF-κB reporter assays in bovine aortic EC, we have previously demonstrated that A1, like Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL, inhibits NF-κB activation. These results, however, do not fully translate when evaluating the cell's own NF-κB machinery in human EC overexpressing A1 by means of recombinant adenovirus (rAd.) mediated gene transfer. Indeed, overexpression of full-length A1 in human umbilical vein EC (HUVEC), and human dermal microvascular EC (HDMEC) failed to inhibit NF-κB activation. However, overexpression of a mutant lacking the C-terminal domain of A1 (A1ΔC) demonstrated a potent NF-κB inhibitory effect in these cells. Disparate effects of A1 and A1ΔC on NF-κB inhibition in human EC correlated with mitochondrial (A1) versus non-mitochondrial (A1ΔC) localization. In contrast, both full-length A1 and A1ΔC protected EC from staurosporine (STS)-induced cell death, indicating that mitochondrial localization was not necessary for A1's cytoprotective function in human EC. In conclusion, our data uncover a regulatory role for the C-terminal domain of A1 in human EC: anchoring A1 to the mitochondrion, which conserves but is not necessary for its cytoprotective function, or by its absence freeing A1 from the mitochondrion and uncovering an additional anti-inflammatory effect.

Abstract
Skeletal muscles contain resident immune cell populations and their abundance and type is altered in inflammatory myopathies, endotoxemia or different types of muscle injury/insult. Within tissues, monocytes differentiate into macrophages and polarize to acquire pro- or anti-inflammatory phenotypes. Skeletal muscle macrophages play a fundamental role in repair and pathogen clearance. These events require a precisely regulated cross-talk between myofibers and immune cells, involving paracrine/autocrine and contact interactions. Skeletal muscle also undergoes continuous repair as a result of contractile activity that involves participation of myokines and anti-inflammatory input. Finally, skeletal muscle is the major site of dietary glucose disposal; therefore, muscle insulin resistance is essential to the development of whole body insulin resistance. Notably, muscle inflammation is emerging as a potential contributor to insulin resistance. Recent reports show that inflammatory macrophage numbers within muscle are elevated during obesity and that muscle cells in vitro can mount autonomous inflammatory responses under metabolic challenge. Here, we review the nature of skeletal muscle inflammation associated with muscle exercise, damage, and regeneration, endotoxin presence, and myopathies, as well as the new evidence of local inflammation arising with obesity that potentially contributes to insulin resistance.

Abstract
Although it was thought that apoptotic cells, when rapidly phagocytosed, underwent a silent death that did not trigger an immune response, in recent years a new concept of immunogenic cell death (ICD) has emerged. The immunogenic characteristics of ICD are mainly mediated by damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), which include surface-exposed calreticulin (CRT), secreted ATP and released high mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1). Most DAMPs can be recognized by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). In this Review, we discuss the role of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in regulating the immunogenicity of dying cancer cells and the effect of therapy-resistant cancer microevolution on ICD.

Abstract
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) recognize microbial components and trigger the signaling cascade that activates innate and adaptive immunity. Recent studies have shown that the activation of TLR-dependent signaling pathways plays important roles in the pathogenesis of ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injuries in many organs. All TLRs, except TLR3, use a common adaptor protein, MyD88, to transduce activation signals. We investigated the role of MyD88 in I/R injury of the small intestine. MyD88 and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) knockout and wild-type mice were subjected to intestinal I/R injury. I/R-induced small intestinal injury was characterized by infiltration of inflammatory cells, disruption of the mucosal epithelium, destruction of villi, and increases in myeloperoxidase activity and mRNA levels of TNF-α and the IL-8 homolog KC. MyD88 deficiency worsened the severity of I/R injury, as assessed using the histological grading system, measuring luminal contents of hemoglobin (a marker of intestinal bleeding), and counting apoptotic epithelial cells, while it inhibited the increase in mRNA expression of TNF-α and KC. I/R significantly enhanced COX-2 expression and increased PGE(2) concentration in the small intestine of wild-type mice, which were markedly inhibited by MyD88 deficiency. COX-2 knockout mice were also highly susceptible to intestinal I/R injury. Exogenous PGE(2) reduced the severity of injury in both MyD88 and COX-2 knockout mice to the level of wild-type mice. These findings suggest that the MyD88 signaling pathway may inhibit I/R injury in the small intestine by inducing COX-2 expression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the protective effects of sodium aescinate (SA) preconditioning on the tourniquet-induced ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury after limbs operation. METHODS Seventy-five patients with grade I-II issued by American Society of Anesthesiology undergoing lower limb operation were randomly assigned to 3 groups: the control group, low-dose SA-treated group and high-dose SA-treated group; each group enrolled 25 patients. The patients were treated with 5 mg and 10 mg SA 30 min before tourniquet inflation in the two treatment groups separately, while the patients in the control group received normal saline. Venous blood samples were obtained before tourniquet was inflated (T0 baseline). And 5 (T1), 10 (T2), 20 (T3) min after tourniquet was released. The nitric oxide (NO), malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels were determined by commercial kits. Meanwhile, arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were monitored from an automatic invigilator. RESULTS In the control group, MDA and NO levels were increased, and SOD and MAP were decreased significantly after tourniquet deflation compared to T0 baseline (P<0.05). After tourniquet deflation, MDA and NO levels in the two treated groups were significantly decreased; meanwhile, SOD levels and MAP were increased, and the variations of HR were more stable compared with the control group (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in all of the above between the two treated groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSION The protective effects of SA preconditioning on tourniquet-induced limb I/R injury might possibly contribute to the increasing of SOD levels, and MAP and the decreasing of MDA and NO levels.

Abstract
Background Severe sepsis and septic shock are major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In experimental sepsis there is prominent apoptosis of various cell types, and genetic manipulation of death and survival pathways has been shown to modulate organ injury and survival. Methodology/Principal Findings We investigated the effect of extracellular administration of two anti-apoptotic members of the BCL2 (B-cell lymphoma 2) family of intracellular regulators of cell death in a murine model of sepsis induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). We show that intraperitoneal injection of picomole range doses of recombinant human (rh) BCL2 or rhBCL2A1 protein markedly improved survival as assessed by surrogate markers of death. Treatment with rhBCL2 or rhBCL2A1 protein significantly reduced the number of apoptotic cells in the intestine and heart following CLP, and this was accompanied by increased expression of endogenous mouse BCL2 protein. Further, mice treated with rhBCL2A1 protein showed an increase in the total number of neutrophils in the peritoneum following CLP with reduced neutrophil apoptosis. Finally, although neither BCL2 nor BCL2A1 are a direct TLR2 ligand, TLR2-null mice were not protected by rhBCL2A1 protein, indicating that TLR2 signaling was required for the protective activity of extracellularly adminsitered BCL2A1 protein in vivo. Conclusions/Significance Treatment with rhBCL2A1 or rhBCL2 protein protects mice from sepsis by reducing apoptosis in multiple target tissues, demonstrating an unexpected, potent activity of extracellularly administered BCL2 BH4-domain proteins.

Abstract
The response to exogenous pathogens leads to activation of innate immunity through the release of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and their binding to pattern recognition receptors. A classic example is septic shock where Toll receptor 4 recognizes PAMPs. Although well accepted, this concept does not explain the activation of innate immunity and inflammation occurs with transplantation, autoimmunity, or trauma. Increasingly recognized is that endogenous molecules released by dying cells (damage-associated molecular patterns; DAMPs) activate cellular receptors leading to downstream inflammation. Thus endogenous danger signals and exogenous PAMPs elicit similar responses through seemingly similar mechanisms. Also emerging is our understanding that normal repair processes benefit from dampening the immune response to these endogenous danger molecules. Here we focus on the role of DAMPs and their putative receptors in the pathogenesis of acute and chronic kidney diseases.

Abstract
Damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) or cell death associated molecular patterns (CDAMPs) are a subset of endogenous intracellular molecules that are normally hidden within living cells but become either passively released by primary and secondary necrotic cells or actively exposed and secreted by the dying cells. Once released, DAMPs are sensed by the innate immune system and act as activators of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) to stimulate innate and adaptive immunity. Cancer cells dying in response to a subset of conventional anticancer modalities exhibit a particular composition of DAMPs at their cell surface, which has been recently shown to be vital for the stimulation of the host immune system and the control of residual disease. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) for cancer has long been shown to be capable of killing malignant cells and concomitantly stimulate the host immune system, properties that are likely linked to its ability of inducing exposure/release of certain DAMPs. PDT, by evoking oxidative stress at specific subcellular sites through the light activation of organelle-associated photosensitizers, may be unique in incorporating tumour cells destruction and antitumor immune response in one therapeutic paradigm. Here we review the current knowledge about mechanisms and signalling cascades leading to the exposure of DAMPs at the cell surface or promoting their release, the cell death mechanism associated to these processes and its immunological consequences. We also discuss how certain PDT paradigms may yield therapies that optimally stimulate the immune system and lead to the discovery of new DAMPs.
