Abstract
The adult mammalian heart has limited endogenous regenerative capacity and heals through the activation of inflammatory and fibrogenic cascades that ultimately result in the formation of a scar. After infarction, massive cardiomyocyte death releases a broad range of damage-associated molecular patterns that initiate both myocardial and systemic inflammatory responses. TLRs (toll-like receptors) and NLRs (NOD-like receptors) recognize damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and transduce downstream proinflammatory signals, leading to upregulation of cytokines (such as interleukin-1, TNF-α [tumor necrosis factor-α], and interleukin-6) and chemokines (such as CCL2 [CC chemokine ligand 2]) and recruitment of neutrophils, monocytes, and lymphocytes. Expansion and diversification of cardiac macrophages in the infarcted heart play a major role in the clearance of the infarct from dead cells and the subsequent stimulation of reparative pathways. Efferocytosis triggers the induction and release of anti-inflammatory mediators that restrain the inflammatory reaction and set the stage for the activation of reparative fibroblasts and vascular cells. Growth factor-mediated pathways, neurohumoral cascades, and matricellular proteins deposited in the provisional matrix stimulate fibroblast activation and proliferation and myofibroblast conversion. Deposition of a well-organized collagen-based extracellular matrix network protects the heart from catastrophic rupture and attenuates ventricular dilation. Scar maturation requires stimulation of endogenous signals that inhibit fibroblast activity and prevent excessive fibrosis. Moreover, in the mature scar, infarct neovessels acquire a mural cell coat that contributes to the stabilization of the microvascular network. Excessive, prolonged, or dysregulated inflammatory or fibrogenic cascades accentuate adverse remodeling and dysfunction. Moreover, inflammatory leukocytes and fibroblasts can contribute to arrhythmogenesis. Inflammatory and fibrogenic pathways may be promising therapeutic targets to attenuate heart failure progression and inhibit arrhythmia generation in patients surviving myocardial infarction.

Abstract
AIMS Cardiac involvement is common in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 and correlates with an adverse disease trajectory. While cardiac injury has been attributed to direct viral cytotoxicity, serum-induced cardiotoxicity secondary to serological hyperinflammation constitutes a potentially amenable mechanism that remains largely unexplored. METHODS AND RESULTS To investigate serological drivers of cardiotoxicity in COVID-19 we have established a robust bioassay that assessed the effects of serum from COVID-19 confirmed patients on human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived cardiomyocytes. We demonstrate that serum from COVID-19 positive patients significantly reduced cardiomyocyte viability independent of viral transduction, an effect that was also seen in non-COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Serum from patients with greater disease severity led to worse cardiomyocyte viability and this significantly correlated with levels of key inflammatory cytokines, including IL-6, TNF-α, IL1-β, IL-10, CRP, and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio with a specific reduction of CD4+ and CD8+ cells. Combinatorial blockade of IL-6 and TNF-α partly rescued the phenotype and preserved cardiomyocyte viability and function. Bulk RNA sequencing of serum-treated cardiomyocytes elucidated specific pathways involved in the COVID-19 response impacting cardiomyocyte viability, structure, and function. The observed effects of serum-induced cytotoxicity were cell-type selective as serum exposure did not adversely affect microvascular endothelial cell viability but resulted in endothelial activation and a procoagulant state. CONCLUSION These results provide direct evidence that inflammatory cytokines are at least in part responsible for the cardiovascular damage seen in COVID-19 and characterise the downstream activated pathways in human cardiomyocytes. The serum signature of patients with severe disease indicates possible targets for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) is evolutionarily conserved from yeast to humans and is one of the most fundamental pathways of living organisms. Since its discovery three decades ago, mTOR has been recognized as the center of nutrient sensing and growth, homeostasis, metabolism, life span, and aging. The role of dysregulated mTOR in common diseases, especially cancer, has been extensively studied and reported. Emerging evidence supports that mTOR critically regulates innate immune responses that govern the pathogenesis of various cardiovascular diseases. This review discusses the regulatory role of mTOR in macrophage functions in acute inflammation triggered by ischemia and in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), in which chronic inflammation plays critical roles. Specifically, we discuss the role of mTOR in trained immunity, immune senescence, and clonal hematopoiesis. In addition, this review includes a discussion on the architecture of mTOR, the function of its regulatory complexes, and the dual-arm signals required for mTOR activation to reflect the current knowledge state. We emphasize future research directions necessary to understand better the powerful pathway to take advantage of the mTOR inhibitors for innovative applications in patients with cardiovascular diseases associated with aging and inflammation.

Beneficial effect of TLR4 blockade by a specific aptamer antagonist after acute myocardial infarction. Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 158:114214. [PMID: 36916435 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.114214] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2022] [Revised: 12/28/2022] [Accepted: 01/02/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Experimental evidence indicates that the control of the inflammatory response after myocardial infarction is a key strategy to reduce cardiac injury. Cellular damage after blood flow restoration in the heart promotes sterile inflammation through the release of molecules that activate pattern recognition receptors, among which TLR4 is the most prominent. Transient regulation of TLR4 activity has been considered one of the potential therapeutic interventions with greater projection towards the clinic. In this regard, the characterization of an aptamer (4FT) that acts as a selective antagonist for human TLR4 has been investigated in isolated macrophages from different species and in a rat model of cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). The binding kinetics and biological responses of murine and human macrophages treated with 4FT show great affinity and significant inhibition of TLR4 signaling including the NF-κB pathway and the LPS-dependent increase in the plasma membrane currents (Kv currents). In the rat model of I/R, administration of 4FT following reoxygenation shows amelioration of cardiac injury function and markers, a process that is significantly enhanced when the second dose of 4FT is administered 24 h after reperfusion of the heart. Parameters such as cardiac injury biomarkers, infiltration of circulating inflammatory cells, and the expression of genes associated with the inflammatory onset are significantly reduced. In addition, the expression of anti-inflammatory genes, such as IL-10, and pro-resolution molecules, such as resolvin D1 are enhanced after 4FT administration. These results indicate that targeting TLR4 with 4FT offers new therapeutic opportunities to prevent cardiac dysfunction after infarction.

[PMID: 36643631 PMCID: PMC9838205 DOI: 10.7717/peerj.14440] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2022] [Accepted: 11/01/2022] [Indexed: 01/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Plasma S100A1 protein is a novel inflammatory biomarker associated with acute myocardial infarction and neurodegenerative disease's pathophysiological mechanisms. This study aimed to determine the levels of this protein in patients with acute ischemic stroke early in the disease progression and to investigate its role in the pathogenesis of acute ischemic stroke. Methods A total of 192 participants from hospital stroke centers were collected for the study. Clinically pertinent data were recorded. The volume of the cerebral infarction was calculated according to the Pullicino formula. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to select independent influences. ROC curve was used to analyze the diagnostic value of AIS and TIA. The correlation between S100A1, NF-κB p65, and IL-6 levels and cerebral infarction volume was detected by Pearson correlation analysis. Results There were statistically significant differences in S100A1, NF-κB p65, and IL-6 among the AIS,TIA, and PE groups (S100A1, [230.96 ± 39.37] vs [185.85 ± 43.24] vs [181.47 ± 27.39], P < 0.001; NF-κB p65, [3.99 ± 0.65] vs [3.58 ± 0.74] vs [3.51 ± 0.99], P = 0.001; IL-6, [13.32 ± 1.57] vs [11.61 ± 1.67] vs [11.42 ± 2.34], P < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that S100A1 might be an independent predictive factor for the diagnosis of disease (P < 0.001). The AUC of S100A1 for diagnosis of AIS was 0.818 (P < 0.001, 95% CI [0.749-0.887], cut off 181.03, Jmax 0.578, Se 95.0%, Sp 62.7%). The AUC of S100A1 for diagnosis of TIA was 0.720 (P = 0.001, 95% CI [0.592-0.848], cut off 150.14, Jmax 0.442, Se 50.0%, Sp 94.2%). There were statistically significant differences in S100A1, NF-κB p65, and IL-6 among the SCI,MCI, and LCI groups (S100A1, [223.98 ± 40.21] vs [225.42 ± 30.92] vs [254.25 ± 37.07], P = 0.001; NF-κB p65, [3.88 ± 0.66] vs [3.85 ± 0.64] vs [4.41 ± 0.45], P < 0.001; IL-6, [13.27 ± 1.65] vs [12.77 ± 1.31] vs [14.00 ± 1.40], P = 0.007). Plasma S100A1, NF-κB p65, and IL-6 were significantly different from cerebral infarction volume (S100A1, r = 0.259, P = 0.002; NF-κB p65, r = 0.316, P < 0.001; IL-6, r = 0.177, P = 0.036). There was a positive correlation between plasma S100A1 and IL-6 with statistical significance (R = 0.353, P < 0.001). There was no significant positive correlation between plasma S100A1 and NF-κB p65 (R < 0.3), but there was statistical significance (R = 0.290, P < 0.001). There was a positive correlation between IL-6 and NF-κB p65 with statistical significance (R = 0.313, P < 0.001). Conclusion S100A1 might have a better diagnostic efficacy for AIS and TIA. S100A1 was associated with infarct volume in AIS, and its level reflected the severity of acute cerebral infarction to a certain extent. There was a correlation between S100A1 and IL-6 and NF-κB p65, and it was reasonable to speculate that this protein might mediate the inflammatory response through the NF-κB pathway during the pathophysiology of AIS.

S100A1 expression is increased in spinal cord injury and promotes inflammation, oxidative stress and apoptosis of PC12 cells induced by LPS via ERK signaling. Mol Med Rep 2022; 27:30. [PMID: 36524376 PMCID: PMC9827259 DOI: 10.3892/mmr.2022.12917] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2022] [Accepted: 11/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a severe neurological disorder and the molecular mechanisms leading to its poor prognosis remain to be elucidated. S100A1, a mediator of Ca2+ handling of sarcoplasmic reticulum and mitochondrial function, operates as an endogenous danger signal (alarmin) associated with inflammatory response and tissue injury. The aim of the present study was to investigate the expression and biological effects of S100A1 in SCI. A rat model of SCI and a PC12 cell model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‑induced inflammation were established to examine S100A1 expression at the mRNA and protein levels. The inflammation level, which was mediated by S100A1, was determined based on inflammatory factor (IL‑1β, IL‑6 and TNF‑α) and anti‑inflammatory factor (IL‑10) expression. The effects of S100A1 on cellular oxidation and anti‑oxidation levels were observed by detecting the levels of reactive oxygen species, superoxide dismutase, catalase activities and nuclear factor erythroid 2‑related factor 2 expression. The protein levels of Bax, Bcl2 and cleaved caspase‑3 were used for the evaluation of the effects of S100A1 on apoptosis. Phosphorylated (p‑)ERK1/2 expression was used to evaluate the effects of S100A1 on ERK signaling. The results revealed that S100A1 expression was significantly upregulated in vivo and in vitro in the PC12 cell model of LPS‑inflammation. The silencing and overexpression of S100A1 helped alleviate and aggravate LPS‑induced inflammation, oxidative stress and apoptosis levels, respectively. S100A1 was found to regulate the ERK signaling pathway positively. An inhibitor of ERK signaling (MK‑8353) partially abolished the promoting effects of the overexpression of S100A1 on inflammation, oxidative stress damage and apoptosis. In conclusion, S100A1 expression was elevated in model of SCI and in the PC12 cell model of LPS‑induced inflammation. Furthermore, the overexpression/silencing S100A1 aggravated/mitigated the inflammation, oxidative stress damage and the apoptosis of LPS‑stimulated PC12 cells via the ERK signaling pathway. The present study revealed the mechanism of S100A1 in SCI, which provided a new theoretic reference for future research on SCI.

Abstract
This study was to probe the role of penehyclidine hydrochloride (PHC) mediating the impact of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88)/nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signalling pathway on myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion injury (MI/RI) in rats through miR-199a-3p. The rat MI/RI model was established through ligating left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery. PHC was injected preoperatively into the model rats, and injected with miR-199a-3p lentiviral vector or TLR4 antagonist (TAK-242). Next, cardiac function of rats was examined by echocardiography, and rat serum indicators, oxidative stress levels and inflammatory factors were detected. HE staining was applied to detect pathological tissue structure, TUNEL staining to detect apoptosis rate, qRCR and western blot to detect miR-199a-3p and TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB expressions in rat myocardial tissues. Dual luciferase reporter experiment was conducted to confirm the relationship between miR-199a-3p and TLR4. In conclusion, PHC suppresses TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signalling pathway through miR-199a-3p, thereby improving MI/RI in rats.

Abstract
The heart contains a population of resident macrophages that markedly expands following injury through recruitment of monocytes and through proliferation of macrophages. In myocardial infarction, macrophages have been implicated in both injurious and reparative responses. In coronary atherosclerotic lesions, macrophages have been implicated in disease progression and in the pathogenesis of plaque rupture. Following myocardial infarction, resident macrophages contribute to initiation and regulation of the inflammatory response. Phagocytosis and efferocytosis are major functions of macrophages during the inflammatory phase of infarct healing, and mediate phenotypic changes, leading to acquisition of an anti-inflammatory macrophage phenotype. Infarct macrophages respond to changes in the cytokine content and extracellular matrix composition of their environment and secrete fibrogenic and angiogenic mediators, playing a central role in repair of the infarcted heart. Macrophages may also play a role in scar maturation and may contribute to chronic adverse remodeling of noninfarcted segments. Single cell studies have revealed a remarkable heterogeneity of macrophage populations in infarcted hearts; however, the relations between transcriptomic profiles and functional properties remain poorly defined. This review manuscript discusses the fate, mechanisms of expansion and activation, and role of macrophages in the infarcted heart. Considering their critical role in injury, repair, and remodeling, macrophages are important, but challenging, targets for therapeutic interventions in myocardial infarction.

Abstract
Tet1 protects against house dust mite (HDM)-induced lung inflammation in mice and alters the lung methylome and transcriptome. In order to explore the role of Tet1 in individual lung epithelial cell types in HDM-induced inflammation, we established a model of HDM-induced lung inflammation in Tet1 knockout and littermate wild-type mice, then studied EpCAM+ lung epithelial cells using single-cell RNA-seq analysis. We identified eight EpCAM+ lung epithelial cell types, among which AT2 cells were the most abundant. HDM challenge altered the relative abundance of epithelial cell types and resulted in cell type-specific transcriptomic changes. Bulk and cell type-specific analysis also showed that loss of Tet1 led to the altered expression of genes linked to augmented HDM-induced lung inflammation, including alarms, detoxification enzymes, oxidative stress response genes, and tissue repair genes. The transcriptomic regulation was accompanied by alterations in TF activities. Trajectory analysis supports that HDM may enhance the differentiation of AP and BAS cells into AT2 cells, independent of Tet1. Collectively, our data showed that lung epithelial cells had common and unique transcriptomic signatures of allergic lung inflammation. Tet1 deletion altered transcriptomic networks in various lung epithelial cells, which may promote allergen-induced lung inflammation.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in COVID-19 has been associated with catastrophic inflammation. We present measurements in humans and a new animal model implicating a role in danger-associated molecular patterns. Calprotectin (S100A8/A9) and high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) were measured in patients without/with ARDS, and admission calprotectin was associated with soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR). An animal model was developed by intravenous injection of plasma from healthy or patients with COVID-19 ARDS into C57/BL6 mice once daily for 3 consecutive days. Mice were treated with one anti-S100A8/A9 antibody, the IL-1 receptor antagonist anakinra or vehicle, and Flo1-2a anti-murine anti-IL-1α monoclonal antibody or the specific antihuman IL-1α antibody XB2001 or isotype controls. Cytokines and myeloperoxidase (MPO) were measured in tissues. Calprotectin, but not HMGB1, was elevated in ARDS. Higher suPAR indicated higher calprotectin. Animal challenge with COVID-19 plasma led to inflammatory reactions in murine lung and intestines as evidenced by increased levels of TNFα, IL-6, IFNγ, and MPO. Lung inflammation was attenuated with anti-S100A8/A9 pre-treatment. Anakinra treatment restored these levels. Similar decrease was found in mice treated with Flo1-2a but not with XB2001. Circulating alarmins, specifically calprotectin, of critically ill COVID-19 patients induces tissue-specific inflammatory responses through an IL-1-mediated mechanism. This could be attenuated through inhibition of IL-1 receptor or of IL-1α.

Abstract
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic is currently raging around the world at a rapid speed. Among COVID-19 patients, SARS-CoV-2-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is the main contribution to the high ratio of morbidity and mortality. However, clinical manifestations between SARS-CoV-2-associated ARDS and non-SARS-CoV-2-associated ARDS are quite common, and their therapeutic treatments are limited because the intricated pathophysiology having been not fully understood. In this study, to investigate the pathogenic mechanism of SARS-CoV-2-associated ARDS and non-SARS-CoV-2-associated ARDS, first, we constructed a candidate host-pathogen interspecies genome-wide genetic and epigenetic network (HPI-GWGEN) via database mining. With the help of host-pathogen RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) data, real HPI-GWGEN of COVID-19-associated ARDS and non-viral ARDS were obtained by system modeling, system identification, and Akaike information criterion (AIC) model order selection method to delete the false positives in candidate HPI-GWGEN. For the convenience of mitigation, the principal network projection (PNP) approach is utilized to extract core HPI-GWGEN, and then the corresponding core signaling pathways of COVID-19-associated ARDS and non-viral ARDS are annotated via their core HPI-GWGEN by KEGG pathways. In order to design multiple-molecule drugs of COVID-19-associated ARDS and non-viral ARDS, we identified essential biomarkers as drug targets of pathogenesis by comparing the core signal pathways between COVID-19-associated ARDS and non-viral ARDS. The deep neural network of the drug–target interaction (DNN-DTI) model could be trained by drug–target interaction databases in advance to predict candidate drugs for the identified biomarkers. We further narrowed down these predicted drug candidates to repurpose potential multiple-molecule drugs by the filters of drug design specifications, including regulation ability, sensitivity, excretion, toxicity, and drug-likeness. Taken together, we not only enlighten the etiologic mechanisms under COVID-19-associated ARDS and non-viral ARDS but also provide novel therapeutic options for COVID-19-associated ARDS and non-viral ARDS.

Abstract
Although the treatment of myocardial infarction (MI) has improved considerably, it is still a worldwide disease with high morbidity and high mortality. Whilst there is still a long way to go for discovering ideal treatments, therapeutic strategies committed to cardioprotection and cardiac repair following cardiac ischemia are emerging. Evidence of pathological characteristics in MI illustrates cell signaling pathways that participate in the survival, proliferation, apoptosis, autophagy of cardiomyocytes, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, monocytes, and stem cells. These signaling pathways include the key players in inflammation response, e.g., NLRP3/caspase-1 and TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB; the crucial mediators in oxidative stress and apoptosis, for instance, Notch, Hippo/YAP, RhoA/ROCK, Nrf2/HO-1, and Sonic hedgehog; the controller of myocardial fibrosis such as TGF-β/SMADs and Wnt/β-catenin; and the main regulator of angiogenesis, PI3K/Akt, MAPK, JAK/STAT, Sonic hedgehog, etc. Since signaling pathways play an important role in administering the process of MI, aiming at targeting these aberrant signaling pathways and improving the pathological manifestations in MI is indispensable and promising. Hence, drug therapy, gene therapy, protein therapy, cell therapy, and exosome therapy have been emerging and are known as novel therapies. In this review, we summarize the therapeutic strategies for MI by regulating these associated pathways, which contribute to inhibiting cardiomyocytes death, attenuating inflammation, enhancing angiogenesis, etc. so as to repair and re-functionalize damaged hearts.

Abstract
Many studies have confirmed that exhaustive exercise has adverse effects on the heart by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS). S100A1 calcium-binding protein A1 (S100A1) is a regulator of myocardial contractility and a protector against myocardial injury. However, few studies have investigated the role of S100A1 in the regulation of myocardial injury induced by exhaustive exercise. In the present study, we suggested that exhaustive exercise led to increased ROS, downregulation of S100a1, and myocardial injury. Downregulation of S100a1 promoted exhaustive exercise-induced myocardial injury and overexpression of S100A1 reversed oxidative stress-induced cardiomyocyte injury, indicating S100A1 is a protective factor against myocardial injury caused by exhaustive exercise. We also found that downregulation of S100A1 promoted damage to critical proteins of the mitochondria by inhibiting the expression of Ant1, Pgc1a, and Tfam under exhaustive exercise. Our study indicated S100A1 as a potential prognostic biomarker or therapeutic target to improve the myocardial damage induced by exhaustive exercise and provided new insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the myocardial injury effect of exhaustive exercise.

Abstract
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a severe neurodevelopmental disorder featuring impairment in verbal and non-verbal interactions, defects in social interactions, stereotypic behaviors as well as restricted interests. In recent times, the incidence of ASD is growing at a rapid pace. In spite of great endeavors devoted to explaining ASD pathophysiology, its precise etiology remains unresolved. ASD pathogenesis is related to different phenomena associated with the immune system; however, the mechanisms behind these immune phenomena as well as the potential contributing genes remain unclear. In the current work, we used a bioinformatics approach to describe the role of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA)-associated competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) in the peripheral blood (PB) samples to figure out the molecular regulatory procedures involved in ASD better. The Gene Expression Omnibus database was used to obtain the PB microarray dataset (GSE89594) from the subjects suffering from ASD and control subjects, containing the data related to both mRNAs and lncRNAs. The list of immune-related genes was obtained from the ImmPort database. In order to determine the immune-related differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs) and lncRNAs (DElncRNAs), the limma package of R software was used. A protein-protein interaction network was developed for the immune-related DEmRNAs. By employing the Human MicroRNA Disease Database, DIANA-LncBase, and DIANA-TarBase databases, the RNA interaction pairs were determined. We used the Pearson correlation coefficient to discover the positive correlations between DElncRNAs and DEmRNAs within the ceRNA network. Finally, the lncRNA-associated ceRNA network was created based on DElncRNA-miRNA-DEmRNA interactions and co-expression interactions. In addition, the KEGG enrichment analysis was conducted for immune-related DEmRNAs found within the constructed network. This work found four potential DElncRNA-miRNA-DEmRNA axes in ASD pathogenesis, including, LINC00472/hsa-miR-221-3p/PTPN11, ANP32A-IT1/hsa-miR-182-5p/S100A2, LINC00472/hsa-miR-132-3p/S100A2, and RBM26-AS1/hsa-miR-182-5p/S100A2. According to pathway enrichment analysis, the immune-related DEmRNAs were enriched in the "JAK-STAT signaling pathway" and "Adipocytokine signaling pathway." An understanding of regulatory mechanisms of ASD-related immune genes would provide novel insights into the molecular mechanisms behind ASD pathogenesis.

Abstract
Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) are activated in parenchymal cells in response to low oxygen and as such have been proposed as therapeutic targets during hypoxic insult, including myocardial infarction (MI). HIFs are also activated within macrophages, which orchestrate the tissue repair response. Although isoform-specific therapeutics are in development for cardiac ischemic injury, surprisingly, the unique role of myeloid HIFs, and particularly HIF-2α, is unknown. Using a murine model of myocardial infarction and mice with conditional genetic loss and gain of function, we uncovered unique proinflammatory roles for myeloid cell expression of HIF-1α and HIF-2α during MI. We found that HIF-2α suppressed anti-inflammatory macrophage mitochondrial metabolism, while HIF-1α promoted cleavage of cardioprotective MerTK through glycolytic reprogramming of macrophages. Unexpectedly, combinatorial loss of both myeloid HIF-1α and HIF-2α was catastrophic and led to macrophage necroptosis, impaired fibrogenesis, and cardiac rupture. These findings support a strategy for selective inhibition of macrophage HIF isoforms and promotion of anti-inflammatory mitochondrial metabolism during ischemic tissue repair.

[PMID: 34332210 PMCID: PMC8339339 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2021.102086] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2021] [Revised: 07/19/2021] [Accepted: 07/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
After cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), the occurrence of systemic inflammatory response is often accompanied by a persistent compensatory anti-inflammatory response syndrome that can lead to a compromised immune competence termed immunoparalysis, rendering the patients susceptible to infections which is a leading complication following cardiac surgery. However, the underlying mechanisms of CPB-elicited immunoparalysis remain obscure. In this study we showed that peroxiredoxin 1 (Prdx1), a putative cytosolic antioxidant, was released immediately after CPB in a cohort of pediatric patients receiving congenital cardiac surgery. This increased Prdx1 was correlated to a reduced human leukocyte antigen-DR expression and an elevated interleukin-10 (IL-10) production, as well as a hypo-responsiveness of macrophages to endotoxin and a higher incidence of nosocomial infection. We demonstrated that substitution of Ser83 for Cys83 prevented Prdx1 from oligomerization and subsequent binding and internalization to macrophages. These effects mitigated Prdx1-induced IL-10 induction and endotoxin tolerance. Furthermore, after engagement with toll-like receptor (TLR) 4, clathrin-dependent endocytosis is crucial for Prdx1 to elicit IL-10 production in phagocytes. Congruently, inhibition of Prdx1/TLR4 endocytosis in phagocytes reversed the Prdx1/IL-10-mediated hypo-responsiveness to endotoxin. Our findings unveiled the possible mechanisms by which Prdx1 undertakes to cause immunoparalysis, and targeting endocytosis of Prdx1 could be a novel therapeutic approach for postoperative infections associated with CPB. Cardiopulmonary bypass-elicited ischemia/reperfusion injury causes release of Prdx1. High molecular weight forms of Prdx1 interact with TLR4 to initiate sterile inflammation. Endocytosis of Prdx1/TLR4 induces IL-10 production that leads to immunoparalysis and subsequent septic inflammation. Inhibition of Prdx1/TLR4 endocytosis reverses Prdx1/IL-10-mediated hypo-responsiveness to endotoxin in phagocytes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of illness and death worldwide. Current treatments aim to control symptoms with none able to reverse disease or stop its progression. We explored the major molecular changes in COPD pathogenesis. METHODS We employed quantitative label-based proteomics to map the changes in the lung tissue proteome of cigarette smoke-induced experimental COPD that is induced over 8 weeks and progresses over 12 weeks. RESULTS Quantification of 7324 proteins enabled the tracking of changes to the proteome. Alterations in protein expression profiles occurred in the induction phase, with 18 and 16 protein changes at 4- and 6-week time points, compared to age-matched controls, respectively. Strikingly, 269 proteins had altered expression after 8 weeks when the hallmark pathological features of human COPD emerge, but this dropped to 27 changes at 12 weeks with disease progression. Differentially expressed proteins were validated using other mouse and human COPD bronchial biopsy samples. Major changes in RNA biosynthesis (heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins C1/C2 [HNRNPC] and RNA-binding protein Musashi homologue 2 [MSI2]) and modulators of inflammatory responses (S100A1) were notable. Mitochondrial dysfunction and changes in oxidative stress proteins also occurred. CONCLUSION We provide a detailed proteomic profile, identifying proteins associated with the pathogenesis and disease progression of COPD establishing a platform to develop effective new treatment strategies.

[PMID: 34148033 PMCID: PMC8221329 DOI: 10.18632/aging.203103] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2020] [Accepted: 05/13/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the better prognosis given by surgical resection and chemotherapy in low-grade glioma (LGG), progressive transformation is still a huge concern. In this case, the S100A gene family, being capable of regulating inflammatory responses, can promote tumor development. METHODS The analysis was carried out via ONCOMINE, GEPIA, cBioPortal, String, GeneMANIA, WebGestalt, LinkedOmics, TIMER, CGGA, R 4.0.2 and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS S100A2, S100A6, S100A10, S100A11, and S100A16 were up-regulated and S100A1 and S100A13 were down-regulated in LGG compared to normal tissues. S100A3, S100A4, S100A8, and S100A9 expression was up-regulated during the progression of glioma grade. In addition, genetic variation of the S100A family was high in LGG, and the S100A family genes mostly function through IL-17 signaling pathway, S100 binding protein, and inflammatory responses. The TIMER database also revealed a relationship between gene expression and immune cell infiltration. High expression of S100A2, S100A3, S100A4, S100A6, S100A8, S100A9, S100A10, S100A11, S100A13, and S100A16 was significantly associated with poor prognosis in LGG patients. S100A family genes S100A2, S100A3, S100A6, S100A10, and S100A11 may be prognosis-related genes in LGG, and were significantly associated with IDH mutation and 1p19q codeletion. The immunohistochemical staining results also confirmed that S100A2, S100A3, S100A6, S100A10, and S100A11 expression was upregulated in LGG. CONCLUSION The S100A family plays a vital role in LGG pathogenesis, presumably facilitating LGG progression via modulating inflammatory state and immune cell infiltration.

S100A1 is a sensitive and specific cardiac biomarker for early diagnosis and prognostic assessment of acute myocardial infarction measured by chemiluminescent immunoassay. Clin Chim Acta 2021; 516:71-76. [PMID: 33476588 DOI: 10.1016/j.cca.2021.01.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2020] [Revised: 12/20/2020] [Accepted: 01/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND A member of the S100 family of Ca2+-binding proteins, S100A1 is highly expressed in cardiac muscle tissue. Although this protein is considered an indicator of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), high-throughput and sensitive detection methods are still urgently needed. We constructed a rapid and sensitive method for detecting S100A1 and to investigate the clinical utility of S100A1 as a biomarker for the early diagnosis of AMI and subsequent prognostic assessments. We developed an automated chemiluminescent immunoassay to detect S100A1. We then analyzed the performance of the newly developed assay including evaluation of the analytical sensitivity, analytical selectivity, linear range, accuracy and repeatability. METHODS We recruited 87 patients with AMI or angina pectoris to explore the value of this marker for the early diagnosis and prognostic assessment. RESULTS The chemiluminescent-immune-based S100A1 assay had functional analytical sensitivity with a detection limit of 0.13 ng/ml, and a wide linear range of 0.13-31.66 ng/ml. It also exhibited good repeatability with intra-assay and inter-assay findings of <5% and <15%, respectively. Plasma S100A1 was found to have a higher diagnostic sensitivity than conventional cardiac biomarkers (creatine kinase-MB and cardiac troponin T). The survival analysis showed that a higher concentration of plasma S100A1 (>1.02 ng/ml) was notably associated with the poor prognosis of AMI patients after first PCI. CONCLUSIONS Measurement of circulating S100A1 concentrations with our newly developed chemiluminescent-immune-based assay shows potential for use in the clinic. This assay could enable early identification and prognostic assessment of AMI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Heart failure (HF) is a growing concern worldwide. S100A1 and zinc α2-glycoprotein (ZAG) play an important role in heart function. We examined serum levels of S100A1 and ZAG in HF patients and their association with anthropometric indices and body composition. METHODS AND RESULTS Sixty-four patients with HF, mean age 56.2, 48 male and 16 females, with ejection fraction <30-35%, were recruited from Shahid Madani Heart Hospital in Tabriz, Iran, from April to October 2019. Two groups, cachexia (n = 32) and non-cachexia (n = 32), which were divided based on weight loss of at least 7.5% in the last six months, were compared with the control group (n = 26). S100A1 and ZAG serum levels were determined by ELISA. Serum median (min-max) levels of S100A1 and ZAG were significantly greater in HF patients [326 (184.8-635.2) and 150.4 (61.5-520.7)] than healthy controls [265.4 (43.6-658.8) and 119.8 (16.7-533)], both p = 0.001. S100A1 Serum levels in cachexia group was significantly higher than non-cachexia group [331 (245.6-469.6) vs. 318 (184.8-635.2), p = 0.03]. A strong positive association was observed between S100A1 and ZAG serum levels in patients (r = 0.70, p < 0.0001). Serum levels of these two proteins negatively and significantly associated with BMI (r = -0.25, p = 0.044 and r = -0.28, p = 0.024, respectively) and arm circumference (r = -0.26, p = 0.037 and r = -0.25, p = 0.047, respectively). CONCLUSION The results indicate that S100A1 and ZAG are likely to contribute to the pathogenesis of HF disease and weight loss, as well as the strong association between S100A1 and ZAG possibly indicating a similar mechanism of action for these two proteins.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of reynoutrin on the improvement of ischemic heart failure (IHF) and its possible mechanism in rats. The rat heart failure model was established by permanently ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) and administering different doses of reynoutrin. Cardiac function, inflammatory factors releasing, oxidative stress, cardiomyocytes apoptosis, and myocardial fibrosis were evaluated. Western blotting was used to determine protein expression levels of S100 calcium-binding protein A1 (S100A1), matrix metallopeptidase 2(MMP2), MMP9, phosphorylated (p-) p65, and transforming growth factor -β1 (TGF-β1) in myocardial tissue of the left ventricle. Results showed that reynoutrin significantly improved cardiac function, suppressed the release of inflammatory factors, reduced oxidative stress, inhibited cardiomyocytes apoptosis, and attenuated myocardial fibrosis in rats with IHF. In rat myocardial tissue, permanent LAD-ligation resulted in a significant down-regulation in S100A1 expression, whereas reynoutrin significantly up-regulated S100A1 protein expression while down-regulating MMP2, MMP9, p-p65, and TGF-β1 expressions. However, when S100A1 was knocked down in myocardial tissue, the above-mentioned positive effects of reynoutrin were significantly reversed. Reynoutrin is a potential natural drug for the treatment of IHF, and its mechanism of action involves the up-regulation of S100A1 expression, thereby inhibiting expressions of MMPs and the transcriptional activity of nuclear factor kappa-B.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Host cells recognize molecules that signal danger using pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are the most studied class of PRRs and detect pathogen-associated molecular patterns and danger-associated molecular patterns. Cellular TLR activation and signal transduction can therefore contain, combat, and clear danger by enabling appropriate gene transcription. Here, we review the expression, regulation, and function of different TLRs, with an emphasis on TLR-4, and how TLR adaptor protein binding directs intracellular signaling resulting in activation or termination of an innate immune response. Finally, we highlight the recent progress of research on the involvement of S100 proteins as ligands for TLR-4 in inflammatory disease.

Abstract
Interferon-β (IFN-β) is a pleiotropic cytokine used for therapy of multiple sclerosis, which is also effective in suppression of viral and bacterial infections and cancer. Recently, we reported a highly specific interaction between IFN-β and S100P lowering IFN-β cytotoxicity to cancer cells (Int J Biol Macromol. 2020; 143: 633–639). S100P is a member of large family of multifunctional Ca2+-binding proteins with cytokine-like activities. To probe selectivity of IFN-β—S100 interaction with respect to S100 proteins, we used surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy, chemical crosslinking, and crystal violet assay. Among the thirteen S100 proteins studied S100A1, S100A4, and S100A6 proteins exhibit strictly Ca2+-dependent binding to IFN-β with equilibrium dissociation constants, Kd, of 0.04–1.5 µM for their Ca2+-bound homodimeric forms. Calcium depletion abolishes the S100—IFN-β interactions. Monomerization of S100A1/A4/A6 decreases Kd values down to 0.11–1.0 nM. Interferon-α is unable of binding to the S100 proteins studied. S100A1/A4 proteins inhibit IFN-β-induced suppression of MCF-7 cells viability. The revealed direct influence of specific S100 proteins on IFN-β activity uncovers a novel regulatory role of particular S100 proteins, and opens up novel approaches to enhancement of therapeutic efficacy of IFN-β.

Abstract
Heart failure is a leading cause of death worldwide. While there are multiple etiologies contributing to the development of heart failure, all cause result in impairments in cardiac function that is characterized by changes in cardiac remodeling and compliance. Fibrosis is associated with nearly all forms of heart failure and is an important contributor to disease pathogenesis. Inflammation also plays a critical role in the heart and there is a large degree of interconnectedness between the inflammatory and fibrotic response. This review discusses the cellular and molecular mechanisms contributing to inflammation and fibrosis and the interplay between the two.

Abstract
The S100 family proteins possess a variety of intracellular and extracellular functions. They interact with multiple receptors and signal transducers to regulate pathways that govern inflammation, cell differentiation, proliferation, energy metabolism, apoptosis, calcium homeostasis, cell cytoskeleton and microbial resistance. S100 proteins are also emerging as novel diagnostic markers for identifying and monitoring various diseases. Strategies aimed at targeting S100-mediated signaling pathways hold a great potential in developing novel therapeutics for multiple diseases. In this chapter, we aim to summarize the current knowledge about the role of S100 family proteins in health and disease with a major focus on their role in inflammatory conditions.

Abstract
In 1994, the “danger model” argued that adaptive immune responses are driven rather by molecules released upon tissue damage than by the recognition of “strange” molecules. Thus, an alternative to the “self versus non-self recognition model” has been provided. The model, which suggests that the immune system discriminates dangerous from safe molecules, has established the basis for the future designation of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), a term that was coined by Walter G. Land, Seong, and Matzinger. The pathological importance of DAMPs is barely somewhere else evident as in the posttraumatic or post-surgical inflammation and regeneration. Since DAMPs have been identified to trigger specific immune responses and inflammation, which is not necessarily detrimental but also regenerative, it still remains difficult to describe their “friend or foe” role in the posttraumatic immunogenicity and healing process. DAMPs can be used as biomarkers to indicate and/or to monitor a disease or injury severity, but they also may serve as clinically applicable parameters for optimized indication of the timing for, i.e., secondary surgeries. While experimental studies allow the detection of these biomarkers on different levels including cellular, tissue, and circulatory milieu, this is not always easily transferable to the human situation. Thus, in this review, we focus on the recent literature dealing with the pathophysiological importance of DAMPs after traumatic injury. Since dysregulated inflammation in traumatized patients always implies disturbed resolution of inflammation, so-called model of suppressing/inhibiting inducible DAMPs (SAMPs) will be very briefly introduced. Thus, an update on this topic in the field of trauma will be provided.

Abstract
The surged systemic vascular inflammation after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) aggravates the atherosclerotic endothelial injury. To explore roles of miR‐499 released from cardiomyocytes during AMI in endothelial injury. Using qPCR and ELISA, we discovered that patients with AMI had significantly increased plasma miR‐499, which was directly correlated with serum thrombomodulin, a marker for endothelial injury. Plasma of AMI patients, when incubated with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), significantly increased the expression of endothelial injury markers, which could be abrogated by antagomiR‐499. In vitro, neonatal rat cardiomyocytes subjected to hypoxia/reoxygenation (HX/R) released miR‐499 that could be internalized into rat pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (RPMECs), worsening the high glucose‐induced injury. In silico analysis demonstrated that CHRNA7 encoding α7‐nAchR is a target of miR‐499, which was validated in cell lines expressing endogenous α7‐nAchR. In high glucose‐induced RPMECs injury model, miR‐499 aggravated, whereas forced CHRNA7 expression ameliorated the injury. Moreover, the perfusate from Langendorff perfused rat heart subjected to HX/R contained higher level of miR‐499 that significantly impaired the Bradykinin‐mediated endothelium‐dependent relaxation in both conduit and resistance arteries, which could be partially abrogated by antagomiR‐499. Finally, the correlation between plasma miR‐499 and endothelial injury was further confirmed in another cohort of AMI patients. We conclude that miR‐499 released from injured cardiomyocytes contributes to the endothelial injury by targeting α7‐nAchR. This study implies that miR‐499 may serve as a potential target for the treatment of the surged vascular inflammation post‐AMI.

Abstract
Interleukin-37 (IL-37) is unique in the IL-1 family since it broadly suppresses innate immunity and elevates in humans with inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. IL-37 shows definite groups and transcripts for human IL37 gene, but it is still not completely understood the effect and mechanisms of inflammatory response in endothelial cells. It is well accepted that endothelial dysfunction caused by inflammation is a key initiating event in atherosclerotic plaque formation, which leads to the occurrence and development of the cardiovascular adverse events in clinical since the inflammatory responses of endothelial cells could induce and enhance the deposition of extensive lipid and the formation of atherosclerotic plaque in the intima. Thus, it is essential to investigate the role and potential mechanisms in endothelial inflammatory response to prevent the formation and development of many cardiovascular diseases including atherosclerosis. So far, the recent studies have revealed that IL-37 is able to inhibit inflammatory response by suppressing the TLR2-NF-κB-ICAM-1 pathway intracellularly in human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs). Further, the role of IL-37 may be related to the IL-18 pathway extracellularly and involved in the adhesion and transmigration of neutrophils in HCAECs.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the association between plasma S100A1 level and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and potential significance of S100A1 in post-infarction cardiac function. METHODS We examined the plasma S100A1 level in 207 STEMI patients (STEMI group) and 217 clinically healthy subjects for routine physical examination without a history of coronary artery disease (Control group). Baseline characteristics and concentrations of relevant biomarkers were compared. The relationship between S100A1 and other plasma biomarkers was detected using correlation analysis. The predictive role of S100A1 on occurrence of STEMI was then assessed using multivariate ordinal regression model analysis after adjusting for other covariates. RESULTS The plasma S100A1 level was found to be significantly higher (P<0.001) in STEMI group (3197.7±1576.0 pg/mL) than in Control (1423.5±1315.5 pg/mL) group. Furthermore, the correlation analysis demonstrated plasma S100A1 level was significantly associated correlated with hypersensitive cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) (r = 0.32; P < 0.001), creatine kinase MB (CK-MB) (r = 0.42, P < 0.001), left ventricular eject fraction (LVEF) (r = -0.12, P = 0.01), N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) (r = 0.61; P < 0.001) and hypersensitive C reactive protein (hs-CRP) (r = 0.38; P < 0.001). Moreover, the enrolled subjects who with a S100A1 concentration ≤ 1965.9 pg/mL presented significantly better cardiac function than the rest population. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that S100A1 was an independent predictor for STEMI patients (OR: 0.671, 95% CI 0.500-0.891, P<0.001). In addition, higher S100A1 concentration (> 1965.9 pg/mL) significantly increased the risk of STEMI as compared with the lower level (OR: 6.925; 95% CI: 4.15-11.375; P<0.001). CONCLUSION These results indicated that the elevated plasma S100A1 level is an important predictor of STEMI in combination with several biomarkers and also potentially reflects the cardiac function following the acute coronary ischemia.

Abstract
Methomyl toxicity has been reported as a cause of several accidental and suicidal fatalities. The study is evaluating the effect of lethal methomyl toxicity on fortilin and S100A1 in serum and cardiac tissues. Adult 96 female Sprague-Dawley rats were divided equally into a control (euthanized by cervical dislocation) and a study group (overdosed with methomyl). The levels of fortilin and S100A1 in serum were measured antemortem (to establish the basal levels in serum) and postmortem (to evaluate changes after methomyl exposure) using enzyme-linked immunoassay. S100A1 was immunostained in sections from cardiac tissues. Both proteins in the control were not significantly different ( p > 0.05) compared with the antemortem levels. On the contrast, both biomarkers levels in the intoxicated group were remarkably higher ( p < 0.001) than the control and the antemortem levels. Ventricular tissues from the intoxicated rats presented depleted S100A1 immunostain in cardiomyocytes localized mainly in the epicardium with deeply stained adjacent cardiac fibroblasts. The cardiomyocytes were damaged with a prominent loss of striations compared to normal cardiac tissues from the control. The present outcomes explain to a certain degree the potential toxic effect of methomyl poisoning on the cardiac tissue. Both proteins could be added to the currently available battery of markers for assessing methomyl toxicity.

Abstract
When cells undergo necrotic cell death in either physiological or pathophysiological settings in vivo, they release highly immunogenic intracellular molecules and organelles into the interstitium and thereby represent the strongest known trigger of the immune system. With our increasing understanding of necrosis as a regulated and genetically determined process (RN, regulated necrosis), necrosis and necroinflammation can be pharmacologically prevented. This review discusses our current knowledge about signaling pathways of necrotic cell death as the origin of necroinflammation. Multiple pathways of RN such as necroptosis, ferroptosis, and pyroptosis have been evolutionary conserved most likely because of their differences in immunogenicity. As the consequence of necrosis, however, all necrotic cells release damage associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) that have been extensively investigated over the last two decades. Analysis of necroinflammation allows characterizing specific signatures for each particular pathway of cell death. While all RN-pathways share the release of DAMPs in general, most of them actively regulate the immune system by the additional expression and/or maturation of either pro- or anti-inflammatory cytokines/chemokines. In addition, DAMPs have been demonstrated to modulate the process of regeneration. For the purpose of better understanding of necroinflammation, we introduce a novel classification of DAMPs in this review to help detect the relative contribution of each RN-pathway to certain physiological and pathophysiological conditions.

Abstract
Hypoxia induces myocardial injury through the activation of inflammatory and oxidative processes. The pivotal role of the renin angiotensin system (RAS) in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases has been firmly established in clinical trials and practice; in fact many experimental and clinical data have highlighted that its inhibition has a cardioprotective role. Activated RAS also stimulates inflammation directly inducing proinflammatory and oxidative gene expression. This study aimed to investigate the protective role of a pre-treatment (10 and 100 μM) with irbesartan on injury induced by 24 h of hypoxia in HL-1 cardiomyocytes; in particular, we have analyzed the natriuretic peptide (BNP) expression, a biomarker able to modulate inflammatory reaction to cardiac injury and some markers involved in oxidative stress and inflammation. Our results demonstrated that a pre-treatment with 100 μM irbesartan significantly increased SOD activity and catalase expression of 15 and 25%, respectively, compared to hypoxic cells (P<0.05). On the other hand, it was able to reduce the release of peroxynitrite and iNOS protein expression of 20 and 50% respectively (P<0.05). In addition irbesartan exerts an anti-inflammatory activity reducing Toll-like receptors (TLRs)-2 and -4 mRNA expression, TNF-alpha expression and activity (20%) and increasing the expression of the cytokine IL-17 (40%) (P<0.05 vs hypoxia). Our findings also showed that BNP induced by ischemia was significantly and in a concentration-dependent manner reduced by irbesartan. The findings of our study demonstrated that the AT1 receptor antagonist irbesartan exerts a protective role in an in vitro hypoxic condition reducing oxidative stress and inflammation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Damage-associated molecular patterns, such as high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) and cell-free DNA (cfDNA), play critical roles in mediating ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). HMGB1 activates RAGE to exacerbate IRI, but the mechanism underlying cfDNA-induced myocardial IRI remains unknown. We hypothesized that the infarct-exacerbating effect of cfDNA is mediated by HMGB1 and receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE). METHODS C57BL/6 wild type mice, RAGE knockout (KO), and Toll-like receptor 9 KO mice underwent 20- or 40-minute occlusions of the left coronary artery followed by up to 60 minutes of reperfusion. Cardiac coronary perfusate was acquired from ischemic hearts without reperfusion. Exogenous mitochondrial DNA was acquired from livers of normal C57BL/6 mice. Myocardial infarct size (IS) was reported as percent risk region, as measured by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride and Phthalo blue (Heucotech, Fairless Hill, Pa) staining. cfDNA levels were measured by Sytox Green assay (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, Mass) and/or spectrophotometer. RESULTS Free HMGB1 and cfDNA levels were increased in the ischemic myocardium during prolonged ischemia and subsequently in the plasma during reperfusion. In C57BL/6 mice undergoing 40'/60' IRI, deoxyribonuclease I, or anti-HMGB1 monoclonal antibody reduced IS by approximately half to 29.0% ± 5.2% and 24.3% ± 3.5% (P < .05 vs control 54.3% ± 3.4%). However, combined treatment with deoxyribonuclease I + anti-HMGB1 monoclonal antibody did not further attenuate IS (29.3% ± 4.9%). In C57BL/6 mice undergoing 20'/60' IRI, injection of 40'/5' plasma upon reperfusion increased IS by more than 3-fold (to 19.9 ± 4.3; P < .05). This IS exacerbation was abolished by pretreating the plasma with deoxyribonuclease I or by depleting the HMGB1 by immunoprecipitation, or by splenectomy. The infarct-exacerbating effect also disappeared in RAGE KO mice and Toll-like receptor 9 KO mice. Injection of 40'/0' coronary perfusate upon reperfusion similarly increased IS. The levels of HMGB1 and cfDNA were significantly elevated in the 40'/0' coronary perfusate and 40'/reperfusion (min) plasma but not in those with 10' ischemia. In C57BL/6 mice without IRI, 40'/5' plasma significantly increased the interleukin-1β protein and messenger RNA expression in the spleen by 30 minutes after injection. Intravenous bolus injection of recombinant HMGB1 (0.1 μg/g) or mitochondrial DNA (0.5 μg/g) 5 minutes before reperfusion did not exacerbate IS (P = not significant vs control). However, combined administration of recombinant HMGB1 + mitochondrial DNA significantly increased IS (P < .05 vs individual treated groups) and this infarct-exacerbating effect disappeared in RAGE KO mice and splenectomized C57BL/6 mice. The accumulation of cfDNA in the spleen after combined recombinant HMGB1 + mitochondrial DNA treatment was significantly more elevated in C57BL/6 mice than in RAGE KO mice. CONCLUSIONS Both HMGB1 and cfDNA are released from the heart upon reperfusion after prolonged ischemia and both contribute importantly and interdependently to post-IRI by a common RAGE-Toll-like receptor 9-dependent mechanism. Depleting either of these 2 damage-associated molecular patterns suffices to significantly reduce IS by approximately 50%.

Biomed Pharmacother 2018; 106:776-784. [PMID: 29990871 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2018.07.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 46] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2018] [Revised: 06/28/2018] [Accepted: 07/01/2018] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Coronary microembolization (CME) is a common complication during the treatment of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Nicorandil can be used to prevent myocardial injury after PCI to reduce the incidence of coronary no-reflow and slow flow, and play a role in myocardial protection, suggesting that its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of CME-induced inflammation of cardiomyocytes. However, the specific mechanism remains unclear. This study investigated the myocardial protective effects of nicorandil pretreatment on CME-induced myocardial injury and the specific mechanism of its inhibition of myocardial inflammation. An CME rat model exhibited CME-induced myocardial inflammation and the elevation of serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin (IL)-1β based on echocardiography, myocardial enzyme detection, hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and hematoxylin-basic fuchsin-picric acid (HBFP) stainings, ELISA, quantitative real-time PCR, and western blotting. Nicorandil treatment seven days before CME induction effectively inhibited myocardial inflammation, ameliorated myocardial injury, and improved cardiac function, mainly by inhibiting Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-mediated myeloid differentiation primary response protein 88 (MyD88)-dependent nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling. Rat neonatal cardiomyocyte experiments further confirmed that nicorandil ameliorated lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced myocardial inflammation and improved cardiomyocyte survival. The specific mechanisms mainly involved the inhibition of TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling and the reduction of the inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-1β released from cardiomyocytes. In summary, nicorandil significantly protected cardiomyocytes from CME-induced myocardial injury mainly by inhibiting TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling, thereby reducing the onset of CME-induced myocardial inflammation. This could be one of the important mechanisms for reducing postoperative myocardial injury via PCI-preoperative prophylactic treatment with nicorandil.

Abstract
Platelet activation underlies the pathology of an acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is administered post-AMI to limit this activation. Platelets express Toll-like receptors (TLRs) 1, 2, and 4 and become potently activated in response to TLR2/1 and TLR4 stimulation. However, it is unknown whether antiplatelet agents can protect against platelet activation via these TLR pathways. This study aimed to determine the extent to which TLR-mediated platelet activation can be inhibited by currently used antiplatelet agents. Ten healthy subjects were enrolled into a single-blinded randomized cross-over trial. Subjects received either aspirin monotherapy or DAPT (aspirin in combination with ticagrelor) for 1 week, were washed out, and crossed over to the other drug regimen. Platelet activation was assessed in response to Pam3CSK4 (a TLR2/1 agonist) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS; a TLR4 agonist) at baseline and after each antiplatelet drug regimen. Platelet-surface expression of CD62p and PAC1 by flow cytometry was measured as markers of platelet activation. At baseline, expression of CD62p and PAC1 increased significantly in response to high-dose LPS and in a dose-dependent manner in response to Pam3CSK4. Aspirin monotherapy did not inhibit platelet activation in response to any TLR agonist tested. DAPT with aspirin and ticagrelor only modestly inhibited expression of both activation markers in response to high doses of Pam3CSK4 and LPS. However, incubation with these TLR agonists led to substantial platelet activation despite treatment with these anti-platelet agents. Platelet-TLR2/1 and platelet-TLR4 represent intact on-treatment platelet activation pathways, which may contribute to on-going platelet activation post-AMI.

Abstract
The immune system plays a critical role in both repair and remodeling of the infarcted myocardium. Danger signals released by dying cardiomyocytes mobilize, recruit, and activate immune cells, triggering an inflammatory reaction. CXC chemokines containing the ELR motif attract neutrophils, while CC chemokines mediate recruitment of mononuclear cell subpopulations, contributing to clearance of the infarct from dead cells and matrix debris. Immune cell subsets also participate in suppression and containment of the postinfarction inflammatory response by secreting anti-inflammatory mediators, such as IL-10 and TGF-β. As proinflammatory signaling is suppressed, macrophage subpopulations, mast cells and lymphocytes, activate fibrogenic and angiogenic responses, contributing to scar formation. In the viable remodeling myocardium, chronic activation of immune cells may promote fibrosis and hypertrophy. This review discusses the role of immune cells in repair and remodeling of the infarcted myocardium. Understanding the role of immune cells in myocardial infarction is critical for the development of therapeutic strategies aimed at protecting the infarcted heart from adverse remodeling. Moreover, modulation of immune cell phenotype may be required in order to achieve the visionary goal of myocardial regeneration.

Abstract
Despite significant improvements in injury prevention and emergency response, injury-related death and morbidity continues to increase in the US and worldwide. Patients with trauma, invasive operations, anti-cancer treatment, and organ transplantation produce a host of danger signals and high levels of pro-inflammatory and pro-thrombotic mediators, such as damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and extracellular vesicles (EVs). DAMPs (e.g., nucleic acids, histone, high-mobility group box 1 protein, and S100) are molecules released from injured, stressed, or activated cells that act as endogenous ligands of innate immune receptors, whereas EVs (e.g., microparticle and exosome) are membranous vesicles budding off from plasma membranes and act as messengers between cells. DAMPs and EVs can stimulate multiple innate immune signaling pathways and coagulation cascades, and uncontrolled DAMP and EV production causes systemic inflammatory and thrombotic complications and secondary organ failure (SOF). Thus, DAMPs and EVs represent potential therapeutic targets and diagnostic biomarkers for SOF. High plasma levels of DAMPs and EVs have been positively correlated with mortality and morbidity of patients or animals with trauma or surgical insults. Blocking or neutralizing DAMPs using antibodies or small molecules has been demonstrated to ameliorate sepsis and SOF in animal models. Furthermore, a membrane immobilized with nucleic acid-binding polymers captured and removed multiple DAMPs and EVs from extracellular fluids, thereby preventing the onset of DAMP- and EV-induced inflammatory and thrombotic complications in vitro and in vivo. In this review, we will summarize the current state of knowledge of DAMPs, EVs, and SOF and discuss potential therapeutics and preventive intervention for organ failure secondary to trauma, surgery, anti-cancer therapy, and allogeneic transplantation.

Abstract
The occlusion of a coronary artery by a thrombus generated on a ruptured atherosclerotic plaque has been pursued in the last decades as a determining event for the clinical outcome after myocardial infarction (MI). Yet, MI causes a cell death wave front, which triggers an inflammatory response to clear cellular debris, and which in excess can double the myocardial lesion and influence the clinical prognosis in the short and long term. Accordingly, proper, timely regulated inflammatory response has now been considered a second pivotal player in cardiac recovery after MI justifying the search for pharmacological strategies to modulate inflammatory effectors. This chapter reviews the key events and the main effectors of inflammation after myocardial ischemic insult, as well as the contribution of this phenomenon to the progression of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Gene-targeted therapy with the inotropic Ca2 + -sensor protein S100A1 rescues contractile function in post-ischemic heart failure and is being developed towards clinical trials. Its proven beneficial effect on cardiac metabolism and mitochondrial function suggests a cardioprotective effect of S100A1 in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Fivefold cardiomyocyte-specific S100A1 overexpressing, isolated rat hearts perfused in working mode were subjected to 28 min ischemia (37 °C) followed by 60 min reperfusion. S100A1 overexpressing hearts showed superior hemodynamic recover: Left ventricular pressure recovered to 57 ± 7.3% of baseline compared to 51 ± 4.6% in control (p = 0.025), this effect mirrored in LV work and dP/dt(max). Troponin T and lactate dehydrogenase was decreased in the S100A1 group, as well as FoxO pro-apoptotic transcription factor, indicating less tissue necrosis, whereas phosphocreatine content was higher after reperfusion. This is the first report of a cardioprotective effect of S100A1 overexpression in a global IRI model.

Abstract
S100A6 is a calcium binding protein expressed mainly in fibroblasts and epithelial cells. Interestingly, S100A6 is also present in extracellular fluids. Recently we have shown that S100A6 is secreted by WJMS cells and binds to integrin β1 (Jurewicz et al., 2014). In this work we describe for the first time the mechanism of S100A6 secretion and signaling pathways activated by the S100A6-integrin β1 complex. We show that colchicine suppressed the release of S100A6 into the cell medium, which indicates that the protein might be secreted via a tubulin-dependent pathway. By applying double immunogold labeling and immunofluorescence staining we have shown that S100A6 associates with microtubules in WJMS cells. Furthermore, results obtained from immunoprecipitation and proximity ligation assay (PLA), and from in vitro assays, reveal that S100A6 is able to form complexes with α and β tubulin in these cells, and that the S100A6-tubulin interaction is direct. We have also found that the S100A6 protein, due to binding to integrin β1, activates integrin-linked kinase (ILK), focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and p21-activated kinase (PAK). Our results suggest that binding of S100A6 to integrin β1 affects cell adhesion/proliferation due to activation of ILK and FAK signaling pathways.

Abstract
Early host recognition of microbial invasion or damaged host tissues provides an effective warning system by which protective immune and inflammatory processes are initiated. Host tissues responsible for continuous sampling of their local environment employ cell surface and cytosolic pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that provide redundant and overlapping identification of both microbial and host alarmins. Microbial products containing pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), as well as damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) serve as principle ligands for recognition by these PRRs. It is this interaction which plays both an essential survival role in response to infection and injury, as well as the pathologic role in tissue and organ injury associated with severe sepsis and trauma. Elucidating the interaction between ligands and their respective PRRs can provide both a better understanding of the host response, as well as a rational basis for therapeutic intervention. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Immune and Metabolic Alterations in Trauma and Sepsis edited by Dr. Raghavan Raju.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW With the intention to summarize the currently available evidence on the pathophysiological relevance of inflammation in heart failure, this review addresses the question whether inflammation is a cause or consequence of heart failure, or both. RECENT FINDINGS This review discusses the diversity (sterile, para-inflammation, chronic inflammation) and sources of inflammation and gives an overview of how inflammation (local versus systemic) can trigger heart failure. On the other hand, the review is outlined how heart failure-associated wall stress and signals released by stressed, malfunctioning, or dead cells (DAMPs: e.g., mitochondrial DNA, ATP, S100A8, matricellular proteins) induce cardiac sterile inflammation and how heart failure provokes inflammation in various peripheral tissues in a direct (inflammatory) and indirect (hemodynamic) manner. The crosstalk between the heart and peripheral organs (bone marrow, spleen, gut, adipose tissue) is outlined and the importance of neurohormonal mechanisms including the renin angiotensin aldosteron system and the ß-adrenergic nervous system in inflammation and heart failure is discussed. Inflammation and heart failure are strongly interconnected and mutually reinforce each other. This indicates the difficulty to counteract inflammation and heart failure once this chronic vicious circle has started and points out the need to control the inflammatory process at an early stage avoiding chronic inflammation and heart failure. The diversity of inflammation further addresses the need for a tailored characterization of inflammation enabling differentiation of inflammation and subsequent target-specific strategies. It is expected that the characterization of the systemic and/or cardiac immune profile will be part of precision medicine in the future of cardiology.

Abstract
In adult mammals, massive sudden loss of cardiomyocytes after infarction overwhelms the limited regenerative capacity of the myocardium, resulting in the formation of a collagen-based scar. Necrotic cells release danger signals, activating innate immune pathways and triggering an intense inflammatory response. Stimulation of toll-like receptor signaling and complement activation induces expression of proinflammatory cytokines (such as interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor-α) and chemokines (such as monocyte chemoattractant protein-1/ chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 [CCL2]). Inflammatory signals promote adhesive interactions between leukocytes and endothelial cells, leading to extravasation of neutrophils and monocytes. As infiltrating leukocytes clear the infarct from dead cells, mediators repressing inflammation are released, and anti-inflammatory mononuclear cell subsets predominate. Suppression of the inflammatory response is associated with activation of reparative cells. Fibroblasts proliferate, undergo myofibroblast transdifferentiation, and deposit large amounts of extracellular matrix proteins maintaining the structural integrity of the infarcted ventricle. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and members of the transforming growth factor-β family play an important role in activation of infarct myofibroblasts. Maturation of the scar follows, as a network of cross-linked collagenous matrix is formed and granulation tissue cells become apoptotic. This review discusses the cellular effectors and molecular signals regulating the inflammatory and reparative response after myocardial infarction. Dysregulation of immune pathways, impaired suppression of postinfarction inflammation, perturbed spatial containment of the inflammatory response, and overactive fibrosis may cause adverse remodeling in patients with infarction contributing to the pathogenesis of heart failure. Therapeutic modulation of the inflammatory and reparative response may hold promise for the prevention of postinfarction heart failure.

Abstract
Danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) that are released by injured, threatened, or dead cells, or that originate from the extracellular matrix, influence the immune system. This is of great relevance in critically ill patients, in whom trauma or surgery-related cell damage, hypoxia, ischemia, and infections can result in extensive release of DAMPs. As many patients at the intensive care unit suffer from immune system-related complications, DAMPs could serve as markers for the prognosis of these patients and represent possible therapeutic targets. In the present review, we provide an overview of several well known DAMPs (high-mobility group box 1, heat-shock proteins, s100 proteins, nucleic acids, and hyaluronan) and their effects on the immune system. Furthermore, we discuss the role of DAMPs as markers or therapeutic targets in several conditions frequently encountered in critically ill patients, such as sepsis, trauma, ventilator-induced lung injury, and cardiac arrest.
