Abstract
BACKGROUND Burn injury induces multiple signaling pathways leading to a significant inflammatory storm that adversely affects multiple organs, including the heart. Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor 1 (PARP1) inhibition, with specific agents such as N-(5,6-Dihydro-6-oxo-2-phenanthridinyl)-2-acetamide (PJ34), is effective in reducing oxidative stress and cytokine expression in the heart. We hypothesized that PARP1 inhibition would reduce inflammatory signaling and protect against burn injury-induced cardiac dysfunction. STUDY DESIGN Male Sprague-Dawley rats (8 weeks old, 300 to 350 g) were randomly assigned to sham injury (Sham), 60% total body surface area burn (24 hours post burn), or 60% total body surface area burn with intraperitoneal administration of PJ34 (20 mg/kg, 24 hours post burn + PJ34) and sacrificed 24 hours after injury. Cardiac function was determined using Vevo 2100 echocardiography. Genetic expression of 84 specific toll-like receptor-mediated signal transduction and innate immunity genes were examined using microarray to evaluate cardiac tissue. Qiagen GeneGlobe Data Analysis Center was used to analyze expression, and genetic clustering was performed using TreeView V2.0.8 software. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to validate identified differentially expressed genes. RESULTS Burn injury significantly altered multiple genes in the toll-like receptor signaling, interleukin-17 signaling, tumor necrosis factor signaling, and nuclear factor-κB signaling pathways and led to significant cardiac dysfunction. PARP1 inhibition with PJ34 normalized these signaling pathways to sham levels as well as improved cardiac function to sham levels. CONCLUSIONS PARP1 inhibition normalizes multiple inflammatory pathways that are altered after burn injury and improves cardiac dysfunction. PARP1 pathway inhibition may provide a novel methodology to normalize multiple burn injury-induced inflammatory pathways in the heart.

Abstract
In 2016, an estimated 486,000 individuals sustained burn injuries requiring medical attention. Severe burn injuries lead to a persistent, hyperinflammatory response that may last up to 2 years. The persistent release of inflammatory mediators contributes to end-organ dysfunction and changes in genome expression. Burn-induced cardiac dysfunction may lead to heart failure and changes in cardiac remodeling. Cytokines promote the inflammatory cascade and promulgate mechanisms resulting in cardiac dysfunction. Here, we review the mechanisms by which TNFα, IL-1 beta, IL-6, and IL-10 cause cardiac dysfunction in post-burn injuries. We additionally review changes in the cytokine transcriptome caused by inflammation and burn injuries.

Abstract
Immune cascade is one of major factors leading to cardiac dysfunction after burn injury. TLRs are a class of pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) that initiate the innate immune response by sensing conserved molecular patterns for early immune recognition of a pathogen. The Rat Toll-Like Receptor (TLR) Signaling Pathway RT² Profiler PCR Array profiles the expression of 84 genes central to TLR-mediated signal transduction and innate immunity, and is a validated tool for identifying differentially expressed genes (DEGs). We employed the PCR array to identify burn-induced cardiac TLR-signaling-related DEGs. A total of 38 up-regulated DEGs and 19 down-regulated DEGs were identified. Network analysis determined that all DEGS had 10 clusters, while up-regulated DEGs had 6 clusters and down-regulated DEGs had 5 clusters. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis showed that DEGs were involved in TLR signaling, the RIG-I-Like receptor signaling pathway, the IL-17 signaling pathway, and the NFkB signaling pathway. Function analysis indicated that DEGs were associated with Toll-like receptor 2 binding, Lipopeptide binding, Toll-like receptor binding, and NAD(P)+ nucleosidase activity. The validation of 18 up-regulated DEGs (≥10-fold change) and 6 down-regulated DEGs (≤5-fold change) demonstrated that the PCR array is a trusted method for identifying DEGs. The analysis of validated DEG-derived protein–protein interaction networks will guide our future investigations. In summary, this study not only identified the TLR-signaling-pathway-related DEGs after burn injury, but also confirmed that the burn-induced cardiac cytokine cascade plays an important role in burn-induced heart dysfunction. The results will provide the novel therapeutic targets to protect the heart after burn injury.

Abstract
Thermal injury is often associated with a proinflammatory state resulting in serious complications. After a burn, the innate immune system is activated with subsequent immune cell infiltration and cytokine production. Although the innate immune response is typically beneficial, an excessive activation leads to cytokine storms, multiple organ failure, and even death. This overwhelming immune response is regulated by damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). DAMPs are endogenous molecules that are actively secreted by immune cells or passively released by dead or dying cells that can bind to pathogen recognition receptors in immune and nonimmune cells. Recent studies involving animal models along with human studies have drawn great attention to the possible pathological role of DAMPs as an immune consequence of thermal injury. In this review, we outline DAMPs and their function in thermal injury, shedding light on the mechanism of sterile inflammation during tissue injury and identifying new immune targets for treating thermal injury.

Abstract
Corneal alkali burns (CAB) are characterized by injury-induced inflammation, fibrosis and neovascularization (NV), and may lead to blindness. This review evaluates the current knowledge of the molecular mechanisms responsible for CAB. The processes of cytokine production, chemotaxis, inflammatory responses, immune response, cell signal transduction, matrix metalloproteinase production and vascular factors in CAB are discussed. Previous evidence indicates that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPAR-γ) agonists suppress immune responses, inflammation, corneal fibrosis and NV. This review also discusses the role of PPAR-γ as an anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic and anti-angiogenic agent in the treatment of CAB, as well as the potential role of PPAR-γ in the pathological process of CAB. There have been numerous studies evaluating the clinical profiles of CAB, and the aim of this systematic review was to summarize the evidence regarding the treatment of CAB with PPAR-γ agonists.

Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2016; 15:172-81.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) on the expression of Toll like receptors (TLRs) in human keratinocytes and its role in acne treatment. METHODS TLR2 and TLR4 expression in acne lesions before and after ALA-PDT were examined by immunohistochemical assay. Primary keratinocytes were obtained from acne lesions, co-cultured with P. acnes and then treated with ALA-PDT using red or blue LED. Cytokines production were examined by ELISA, TLR2 and TLR4 gene expression by real-time PCR, and TLR2 and TLR4 protein expression by Western-blot assay. RESULTS The overexpression of TLR2 and TLR4 in acne lesion were detected, which became negative or weaker after ALA-PDT. The infection of P. acnes in keratinocytes could significantly increase the levels of early inflammatory cytokines (e.g. IL-1α, TNF-α and IL-8) (P<0.05). Such responses could be inhibited by ALA-PDT. P. acnes infection could also significantly increase TLR2 and TLR4 expressions in keratinocytes (P<0.05), which could be down-regulated by ALA-PDT. CONCLUSIONS ALA-PDT could inhibit innate immune responses in keratinocytes treated with P. acnes via TLRs pathways.
