The potential therapeutic effects of exosomes derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells on ileum injury of a rat sepsis model (histological and immunohistochemical study). Ultrastruct Pathol 2024; 48:274-296.

Abstract
Sepsis denotes a serious high mortality concern. The study was designed to evaluate the effect of mesenchymal stem cell exosomes (MSC-exosomes) on the evolution of the animal model of sepsis. In this study, 36 rats were distributed into three groups, (I) controls, (II) LPS-treated, and (III) LPS+MSC-EVs. Sepsis was simulated by administering E. coli-LPS to the laboratory animals. Group III was given MSC-exosomes four hours after the LPS injection. Forty-eight hours later rats were sacrificed. Ileum samples were excised, and processed for the histological assessment, immunohistochemical identification of CD44, and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). Ileum homogenate was used to estimate tumor necrosis factor α (TNF α) besides Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX 2). PCR was used for the detection of interleukin 1α (IL‑1α), and interleukin 17 (IL‑17). Statistical and morphometrical analysis was done. The LPS-treated group showed increased TNF-α, IL‑1α, IL‑17, and decreased COX 2. LPS administration led to cytoplasmic vacuolization of enterocytes, an increase in the vasculature, and cellular infiltrations invaded the lamina propria. There was a significant rise in goblet cells and the proportion of collagen fibers. Ultrastructurally, the enterocytes displayed nuclear irregularity, rough endoplasmic reticulum (rER) dilatation, and increased mitochondria number. Sepsis induces a significant increase in iNOS and a decrease in CD44 immune expressions. LPS+MSC-EVs group restored normal ileum structure and revealed a significant elevation in CD44 and a reduction in iNOS immunoreactions. LPS-sepsis induced an obvious ileum inflammatory deterioration ameliorated by MSC-exosomes, mostly through their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic properties.

Tang Z, Ning Z, Li Z. The beneficial effects of Rosuvastatin in inhibiting inflammation in sepsis. Aging (Albany NY) 2024; 16:10424-10434. [PMID: 38885061 PMCID: PMC11236309 DOI: 10.18632/aging.205937] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2023] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
Microbial infection-induced sepsis causes excessive inflammatory response and multiple organ failure. An effective strategy for the treatment of sepsis-related syndromes is still needed. Rosuvastatin, a typical β-hydroxy β-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase inhibitor licensed for reducing the levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in patients with hyperlipidemia, has displayed anti-inflammatory capacity in different types of organs and tissues. However, its effects on the development of sepsis are less reported. Here, we found that the administration of Rosuvastatin reduced the mortality of sepsis mice and prevented body temperature loss. Additionally, it inhibited the production of inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), Interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in peritoneal lavage supernatants of animals. The increased number of mononuclear cells in the peritoneum of sepsis mice was reduced by Rosuvastatin. Interestingly, it ameliorated lung inflammation and improved the hepatic and renal function in the sepsis animals. Further in vitro experiments show that Rosuvastatin inhibited lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced production of proinflammatory cytokines in RAW 264.7 macrophages by preventing the activation of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB). Our findings demonstrate that the administration of Rosuvastatin hampered organ dysfunction and mitigated inflammation in a relevant model of sepsis.

Abstract
Background Corylin, a natural flavonoid, is isolated from the fruit of Psoralea corylifolia L. Nevertheless, the effect of corylin on sepsis-associated cardiac dysfunction is still unclear. The purpose of this study is to determine the role and mechanism of corylin in sepsis related cardiac dysfunction. Methods Experiments were carried out on mice with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or sepsis induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) or myocardial cell sepsis induced by LPS. Results Administration of corylin improved cardiac dysfunction induced by LPS or CLP in mice. Corylin inhibited the increases of interleukin-1 (IL)-1β, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in the heart of mice with LPS or CLP. LPS elevated the levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in cardiomyocytes, which were inhibited by corylin treatment. Corylin attenuated the increases of microRNA (miRNA)-214-5p in the heart of mice with LPS, CLP, LPS-treated NRCMs, H9c2 and AC16 cells. Administration of miRNA-214-5p agomiR reversed the improving effects of corylin on the damaged cardiac function and the increases of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in mice treated with LPS. Conclusion These outcomes indicated that corylin improved sepsis-associated cardiac dysfunction by inhibiting inflammation. And corylin inhibited inflammation of sepsis by decreasing miRNA-214-5p. Downregulation of miRNA-214-5p improved sepsis-associated cardiac dysfunction and inhibited inflammatory factors.

Abstract
Immune hemostasis due to an infection plays a vital role in sepsis-induced multiple organ dysfunction. Dendritic cells (DC) and T helper (Th) cells are the key members of the immune system maintaining immune homeostasis. This study aimed to explore the effect and mechanism of CD40L on the activation of DC and activated DC-induced Th2/Th17 differentiation. A CD40L knockout and cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) mouse model was established via cecal ligation. HE staining was used to evaluate the pathological changes. The gene expressions were studied using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), while a transwell system was used to perform the co-culture of DC and T-cells. Flow cytometry was performed to detect the subtype of T and DC cells. ELISA was used to assess the amount of inflammatory factors. CD40L was highly expressed in the plasma of CLP mice. Knock out of CD40L inhibited the activation of DC cell and Th17 differentiation while promoting the Th2 differentiation. The mechanistic investigations revealed that CD40L promoted the activation of cGAS-STING pathway. Rescue experiments indicated that CD40L mediated DC activation via cGAS-STING signaling. Moreover, co-culturing of CD and CD+4 T-cells demonstrated that silencing of CD40L in DC suppressed the DC activation and inhibited Th17 differentiation while promoting Th2 differentiation. These findings revealed a relationship between CD40L, DC activation, and Th2/Th17 differentiation balance in sepsis-induced acute lung injury for the first time. These findings are envisaged to provide novel molecular targets for sepsis-induced lung injury treatment.

Abstract
Purpose Sepsis-induced acute lung injury is related to high mortality. MiR-2113 possesses important functions in human diseases. This research aimed to clarify the role and mechanism of miR-2113 in sepsis-induced acute lung injury. Methods The expression of miR-2113 in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced MLE-12 cells, serum of sepsis patients, and cecal ligation and puncture mouse models was examined using quantitative real-time PCR. The functions of miR-2113 in LPS-treated MLE-12 cells were estimated by Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, flow cytometry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, Western blot, and immunofluorescence. The influences of miR-2113 in cecal ligation and puncture-induced acute lung injury in mice were assessed by hematoxylin-eosin staining, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling assay, acute pulmonary dysfunction analysis, lactate dehydrogenase levels and total protein concentrations in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and Masson staining. Also, the mechanism of miR-2113 was examined using a dual-luciferase reporter assay. Results MiR-2113 expression was decreased in LPS-induced MLE-12 cells, serum of sepsis patients, and cecal ligation and puncture mouse models. miR-2113 overexpression restored LPS-reduced MLE-12 cell proliferation, but alleviated LPS-induced apoptosis and markers of inflammation and fibrosis in MLE-12 cells. Moreover, we found that miR-2113 mimic reduced LPS-induced MLE-12 cell injury by negatively regulating high-mobility group box 1. In vivo data further confirmed that miR-2113 overexpression alleviated acute pulmonary dysfunction, inflammation and fibrosis in cecal ligation and puncture-induced sepsis mice. Conclusion MiR-2113 relieved sepsis-induced acute pulmonary dysfunction, inflammation and fibrosis through decreasing high-mobility group box 1.

In Vivo 2024; 38:160-173. [PMID: 38148085 PMCID: PMC10756442 DOI: 10.21873/invivo.13422] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2023] [Revised: 09/12/2023] [Accepted: 09/13/2023] [Indexed: 12/28/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Intestinal lymphatic vessels (lacteals) play a critical role in the absorption and transport of dietary lipids into the circulation. Calcitonin gene-related peptide and receptor activity-modifying protein 1 (RAMP1) are involved in lymphatic vessel growth. This study aimed to examine the role of RAMP1 signaling in lacteal morphology and function in response to a high-fat diet (HFD). MATERIALS AND METHODS RAMP1 deficient (RAMP1-/-) or wild-type (WT) mice were fed a normal diet (ND) or HFD for 8 weeks. RESULTS RAMP1-/- mice fed a HFD had increased body weights compared to WT mice fed a HFD, which was associated with high levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, and glucose. HFD-fed RAMP1-/- mice had shorter and wider lacteals than HFD-fed WT mice. HFD-fed RAMP1-/- mice had lower levels of lymphatic endothelial cell gene markers including vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 (VEGFR3) and lymphatic vascular growth factor VEGF-C than HFD-fed WT mice. The concentration of an absorbed lipid tracer in HFD-fed RAMP1-/- mice was higher than that in HFD-fed WT mice. The zipper-like continuous junctions were predominant in HFD-fed WT mice, while the button-like discontinuous junctions were predominant in HFD-fed RAMP1-/- mice. CONCLUSION Deletion of RAMP1 signaling suppressed lacteal growth and VEGF-C/VEGFR3 expression but accelerated the uptake and transport of dietary fats through discontinuous junctions of lacteals, leading to excessive obesity. Specific activation of RAMP1 signaling may represent a target for the therapeutic management of diet-induced obesity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute lung injury (ALI) causes severe and uncontrolled pulmonary inflammation and has high morbidity in dying patients. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the potential function of Kaempferitrin (Kae) and uncover its mechanisms in ALI. MATERIAL AND METHODS We evaluated the role of Kae in ALI through the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced histopathological changes, lung wet/dry (W/D) ratio, total bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) cells count, pulmonary inflammation, and the levels of interleukin (IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and IL-1β. The effect of Kae on NF-κB signaling pathway was discovered through the protein expression levels of transcription factors p65, p-p65, IκBα, and p-IκBα by Western blot analysis. RESULTS The results showed that Kae could improve lung injury by reducing apoptosis, histopathological changes, and lung W/D ratio; more importantly, Kae enhanced the survival of ALI mice. Moreover, Kae relieved inflammation, as it reduced total BALF cells count, and deceased the levels of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β in serum. In addition, Western blot analysis data suggested that Kae could decrease the protein expression levels of transcription factors p65, p-p65, IκB-α, and p-IκB-α, which were promoted by LPS. CONCLUSION The results of this study suggested that Kae could relieve LPS-induced ALI in mice and reduce inflammation and apoptosis through NF-κB pathway.

Abstract
Ectodermal mesenchymal stem cells (EMSCs) are cells harvested from the stem cell niche (nasal mucosa) with high therapeutic potential. To the best of our knowledge, however, the anti‑inflammatory properties of these neural crest‑derived EMSCs have been rarely reported. The present study aimed to explore the effects of aerosolized EMSC‑Secretome (EMSC‑Sec) and clarify underlying mechanisms in treating acute lung injury (ALI). EMSCs were isolated by adherent method and identified by immunofluorescence staining. EMSC‑Sec was collected and evaluated using western blotting, BCA and ELISA tests. Then, mouse lung epithelial cells (MLE‑12) were used to mimic inflammatory stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). After developing an ALI model through intraperitoneal injection of LPS, mice were treated with an EMSC‑Sec spray. The lung in each group underwent an observation and measurement to preliminarily assess the extent of damage. H&E staining, immunohistochemical staining, immunofluorescence and western‑blotting were utilized to further access the impacts of EMSC‑Sec. The results showed that EMSC‑Sec had great anti‑inflammatory potential and was highly successful in vitro and in vivo. EMSC‑Sec mitigated LPS‑induced ALI with low inflammatory cell inflation and mild damage. EMSC‑Sec could regulate inflammation via the NF‑κB(p50/p65)/NLRP3 pathway. Overall, the present study demonstrated that EMSC‑Sec regulated inflammation, hoping to provide a novel strategy for ALI treatment.

Abstract
Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory reaction caused by infection. Severe sepsis can lead to multiple organ dysfunction, with a high incidence rate and mortality. The molecular pathogenesis of sepsis is complex and diverse. In recent years, with further study of the role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in inflammatory diseases, it has been found that EVs play a dual role in the imbalance of inflammatory response in sepsis. Due to the great advantages such as lower toxicity, lower immunogenicity compared with stem cells and better circulation stability, EVs are increasingly used for the diagnosis and treatment of sepsis. The roles of EVs in the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of sepsis were summarized to guide further clinical studies.

Role of the interstitium during septic shock: a key to the understanding of fluid dynamics? J Intensive Care 2023; 11:44.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While not traditionally included in the conceptual understanding of circulation, the interstitium plays a critical role in maintaining fluid homeostasis. Fluid balance regulation is a critical aspect of septic shock, with a well-known association between fluid balance and outcome. The regulation of transcapillary flow is the first key to understand fluid homeostasis during sepsis. MAIN TEXT Capillary permeability is increased during sepsis, and was classically considered to be necessary and sufficient to explain the increase of capillary filtration during inflammation. However, on the other side of the endothelial wall, the interstitium may play an even greater role to drive capillary leak. Indeed, the interstitial extracellular matrix forms a complex gel-like structure embedded in a collagen skeleton, and has the ability to directly attract intravascular fluid by decreasing its hydrostatic pressure. Thus, interstitium is not a mere passive reservoir, as was long thought, but is probably major determinant of fluid balance regulation during sepsis. Up to this date though, the role of the interstitium during sepsis and septic shock has been largely overlooked. A comprehensive vision of the interstitium may enlight our understanding of septic shock pathophysiology. Overall, we have identified five potential intersections between septic shock pathophysiology and the interstitium: 1. increase of oedema formation, interacting with organ function and metabolites diffusion; 2. interstitial pressure regulation, increasing transcapillary flow; 3. alteration of the extracellular matrix; 4. interstitial secretion of inflammatory mediators; 5. decrease of lymphatic outflow. CONCLUSIONS We aimed at reviewing the literature and summarizing the current knowledge along these specific axes, as well as methodological aspects related to interstitium exploration.

Fan XY, Ma ZX, Tang LB, Shen HZ, Qi F, Xia JW. lncRNA NEAT1 mediates LPS-induced pyroptosis of BEAS-2B cells via targeting miR-26a-5p/ROCK1 axis. Kaohsiung J Med Sci 2023. [PMID: 37052185 DOI: 10.1002/kjm2.12681] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2022] [Revised: 02/13/2023] [Accepted: 03/14/2023] [Indexed: 04/14/2023] Open
Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) is an adverse disease of the respiratory system, and one of its prevalent causes is sepsis induction. Cell pyroptosis facilitates the progression of ALI and lncRNAs play critical roles in ALI. Thus, this research seeks to investigate the specific mechanism of NEAT1 in sepsis-ALI.BEAS-2B cells were exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to construct a cell model of sepsis-induced ALI. The gene and protein expression were assessed using qRT-PCR and western blot. Cell viability was identified by CCK-8. Cell death was discovered using PI staining. The secretion of IL-1β and IL-18 was examined using ELISA. The interconnections among NEAT1, miR-26a-5p, and ROCK1 were confirmed using starbase, luciferase assay, and RIP.LPS treatment augmented NEAT1 and ROCK1 levels while mitigating miR-26a-5p level in BEAS-2B cells. Additionally, LPS treatment facilitated cell death and cell pyroptosis, whereas NEAT1 silencing could reverse these effects in BEAS-2B cells. Mechanistically, NEAT1 positively mediated ROCK1 expression by targeting miR-26a-5p. Furthermore, miR-26a-5p inhibitor offset NEAT1 depletion-mediated suppressive effects on cell death and cell pyroptosis. ROCK1 upregulation decreased the inhibitory impacts produced by miR-26a-5p overexpression on cell death and cell pyroptosis. Our outcomes demonstrated NEAT1 could reinforce LPS-induced cell death and cell pyroptosis by repressing the miR-26a-5p/ROCK1 axis, thereby worsening ALI caused by sepsis. Our data indicated NEAT1, miR-26a-5p, and ROCK1 might be biomarkers and target genes for relieving sepsis-induced ALI.

Transpl Immunol 2022; 74:101639. [PMID: 35667541 DOI: 10.1016/j.trim.2022.101639] [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: 03/24/2022] [Revised: 05/30/2022] [Accepted: 05/31/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Circular RNAs (circRNAs) can regulate disease progression, including sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI). This research aimed at investigating the function of circ_0003420 in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated lung cells, as well as the functional mechanism. METHODS Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used for inflammation analysis. Cell viability and proliferation were examined using Cell Counting Kit-8 assay and EdU assay. Cell apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry. Western blot was used for protein detection. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay was performed for quantification of circ_0003420, microRNA-424-5p (miR-424-5p) or toll-like receptor (TLR4). The interaction between miR-424-5p and circ_0003420 or TLR4 was conducted through dual-luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay. RESULTS Lung cell inflammation and apoptosis were promoted, but cell viability and proliferation were inhibited by LPS. Silence of circ_0003420 attenuated the LPS-mediated lung cell injury. Circ_0003420 could interact with miR-424-5p. The protective function by knockdown of si-circ_0003420 was relieved by miR-424-5p inhibition in LPS-treated cells. TLR4 served as a downstream target of miR-424-5p. Overexpression of miR-424-5p repressed inflammatory and apoptotic damages in LPS-treated lung cells via downregulating TLR4. Circ_0003420 upregulated the TLR4 level by targeting miR-424-5p and circ_0003420 regulated the NF-κB signaling pathway through the miR-424-5p/TLR4 axis. CONCLUSION These results uncovered that circ_0003420 contributed to the LPS-induced lung cell injury via activating the miR-424-5p/TLR4-related NF-κB signaling pathway. Circ_0003420 might be a therapeutic target in sepsis-induced ALI.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a serious affection of the lung caused by a variety of pathologies. Great interest is currently focused on ARDS induced by viruses (pandemic influenza and corona viruses). The review describes pulmonary changes in ARDS and specific effects of the pandemic viruses in ARDS, and summarizes treatment options. Because the known pathogenic mechanisms cannot explain all aspects of the syndrome, the contribution of pulmonary lymphatics to the pathology is discussed. Organization and function of lymphatics in a healthy lung and in resorption of pulmonary edema are described. A future clinical trial may provide more insight into the role of hyaluronan in ARDS but the development of promising pharmacological treatments is unlikely because drugs play no important role in lymphedema therapy.

Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) act as essential regulators of various diseases. However, the functions of lncRNAs in sepsis-induced acute lung injury (SALI) remain unclear. Here, we found that lipopolysaccharide could upregulate lncRNA-p21 expression in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in a time- and dose-dependent manner and that lncRNA-p21 was packaged into exosomes. Furthermore, we demonstrated that treatment with exosomal lncRNA-p21 could increase the expression of sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) to protect MLE-12 cells from apoptosis during sepsis. Moreover, we identified SIRT1 as a direct target of miR-181 and found that the level of SIRT1 was negatively correlated with the level of miR-181. The luciferase reporter assay also confirmed the negative correlation between the levels of miR-181 and lncRNA-p21. Our results showed that the lncRNA-p21-induced downregulation of miR-181 might suppress epithelial cell apoptosis and alleviate lung tissue injury by upregulating SIRT1 expression, suggesting the potential therapeutic effects of lncRNA-p21 on SALI. In conclusion, we found that the novel lncRNA-p21/miR-181/SIRT1 pathway may play an important role in the progression of SALI, and MSC-derived exosomes may be a new therapeutic strategy for this disease.

Abstract
Background Major depressive disorder (MDD) and suicide are two major health problems, but there are still no objective methods to diagnose MDD or suicidal ideation (SI). This study was conducted to identify potential biomarkers for diagnosing MDD patients with SI. Methods First-episode drug-naïve MDD patients with SI and demographics-matched healthy controls (HCs) were recruited. First-episode drug-naïve MDD patients without SI were also included. The serum lipids, C-reactive protein (CRP), transferring (TRSF), homocysteine (HCY) and alpha 1-antitrypsin (AAT) in serum were detected. The univariate and multivariate statistical analyses were used to identify and validate the potential biomarkers. Results The 86 HCs, 53 MDD patients with SI and 20 MDD patients without SI were included in this study. Four potential biomarkers were identified: AAT, TRSF, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC), and apolipoprotein A1 (APOA1). After one month treatment, the levels of AAT and APOA1 were significantly improved. The panel consisting of these potential biomarkers had an excellent diagnostic performance, yielding an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.994 and 0.990 in the training and testing set, respectively. Moreover, this panel could effectively distinguish MDD patients with SI from MDD patients without SI (AUC=0.928). Conclusion These results showed that these potential biomarkers could facilitate the development of an objective method for diagnosing MDD patients with SI, and the decreased AAT levels in MDD patients might lead to the appearance of SI by resulting in the elevated inflammation.
