Dexmedetomidine mitigates lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury by modulating heat shock protein A12B to inhibit the toll-like receptor 4/nuclear factor-kappa B signaling pathway. Chem Biol Interact 2024; 398:111112. [PMID: 38901789 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbi.2024.111112] [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: 04/03/2024] [Revised: 06/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/22/2024]
Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS): Life-threatening medical conditions characterized by high morbidity and mortality rates, where the inflammatory process plays a crucial role in lung tissue damage, especially in models induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Heat shock protein A12B (HSPA12B) has strong anti-infammatory properties However, it is unknown whether increased HSPA12B is protective against LPS-induced ALI. And Dexmedetomidine (DEX) is a potent α2-adrenergic receptor (α2-AR) agonist that has been shown to protect against sepsis-induced lung injury, however, the underlying mechanisms of this protection are not fully understood. This study utilized bioinformatics analysis and an LPS-induced ALI model to explore how DEX alleviates lung injury by modulating HSPA12B and inhibiting the Toll-like receptor 4/nuclear factor-kappa B (TLR4/NF-κB) signaling pathway. Results indicate that HSPA12B overexpression and DEX pre-treatment markedly mitigated LPS-induced lung injury, which was evaluated by the deterioration of histopathology, histologic scores, the W/D weight ratio, and total protein expression, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in the BALF, and the levels of NO, MDA,SOD and MPO in the lung. Moreover, HSPA12B overexpression and DEX pre-treatment significantly reduces lung injury and inflammation levels by upregulating HSPA12B and inhibiting the activation of the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway. On the contrary, when the expression of HSPA12B is inhibited, the protective effect of DEX pre-treatment on lung tissue is significantly weakened.In summary, our research demonstrated that the increased expression of AAV-mediated HSPA12B in the lungs of mice inhibits acute inflammation and suppresses the activation of TLR4/NF-κB pathway in a murine model of LPS-induced ALI. DEX could enhance HSPA12B and inhibit the initiation and development of inflammation through down-regulating TLR4/NF-κB pathway.These findings highlight the potential of DEX as a therapeutic agent for treating ALI and ARDS, offering new strategies for clinical intervention.

Abstract
Sepsis and septic shock are critical medical conditions characterized by a systemic inflammatory response to infection, significantly contributing to global mortality rates. The progression to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) represents the most severe complication of sepsis and markedly increases clinical mortality. Central to the pathophysiology of sepsis, endothelial cells play a crucial role in regulating microcirculation and maintaining barrier integrity across various organs and tissues. Recent studies have underscored the pivotal role of endothelial function in the development of sepsis-induced MODS. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the pathophysiology of sepsis-induced MODS, with a specific focus on endothelial dysfunction. It also compiles compelling evidence regarding potential small molecules that could attenuate sepsis and subsequent multi-organ damage by modulating endothelial function. Thus, this review serves as an essential resource for clinical practitioners involved in the diagnosing, managing, and providing intensive care for sepsis and associated multi-organ injuries, emphasizing the importance of targeting endothelial cells to enhance outcomes of the patients.

Abstract
Exosome-derived microRNAs (miRNAs) are emerging as pivotal players in the pathophysiology of sepsis, representing a new frontier in both the diagnosis and treatment of this complex condition. Sepsis, a severe systemic response to infection, involves intricate immune and nonimmune mechanisms, where exosome-mediated communication can significantly influence disease progression and outcomes. During the progress of sepsis, the miRNA profile of exosomes undergoes notable alterations, is reflecting, and may affect the progression of the disease. This review comprehensively explores the biology of exosome-derived miRNAs, which originate from both immune cells (such as macrophages and dendritic cells) and nonimmune cells (such as endothelial and epithelial cells) and play a dynamic role in modulating pathways that affect the course of sepsis, including those related to inflammation, immune response, cell survival, and apoptosis. Taking into account these dynamic changes, we further discuss the potential of exosome-derived miRNAs as biomarkers for the early detection and prognosis of sepsis and advantages over traditional biomarkers due to their stability and specificity. Furthermore, this review evaluates exosome-based therapeutic miRNA delivery systems in sepsis, which may pave the way for targeted modulation of the septic response and personalized treatment options.

Abstract
Septic cardiomyopathy, a life-threatening complication of sepsis, can cause acute heart failure and carry a high mortality risk. Current treatments have limitations. Fortunately, engineered exosomes, created through bioengineering technology, may represent a potential new treatment method. These exosomes can both diagnose and treat septic cardiomyopathy, playing a crucial role in its development and progression. This article examines the strategies for using engineered exosomes to protect cardiac function and treat septic cardiomyopathy. It covers three innovative aspects: exosome surface modification technology, the use of exosomes as a multifunctional drug delivery platform, and plant exosome-like nanoparticle carriers. The article highlights the ability of exosomes to deliver small molecules, proteins, and drugs, summarizing several RNA molecules, proteins, and drugs beneficial for treating septic cardiomyopathy. Although engineered exosomes are a promising biotherapeutic carrier, they face challenges in clinical application, such as understanding the interaction mechanism with host cells, distribution within the body, metabolism, and long-term safety. Further research is essential, but engineered exosomes hold promise as an effective treatment for septic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Forkhead box protein O1 (FOXO1) has been shown to regulate multiple proteins in various cardiovascular disease processes. However, the effect of FOXO1 on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cardiotoxicity remains unknown. The aim of this study was to explore the impact of FOXO1 on LPS-induced cardiotoxicity. METHODS Rat-derived H9c2 cells were subjected to LPS, and the manipulation of FOXO1 was achieved through overexpression and knockdown using the adeno-associated virus system and siRNA, respectively. Western blotting and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction were utilized to examine the inhibitory effect of FOXO1. Cell viability was examined utilizing Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. The changes of apoptosis were examined utilizing Annexin V-FITC/PI method. The levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-18, and tumor necrosis factor-α in the H9c2 cells were measured using ELISA kits. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation was quantified using the 2'-7'dichlorofluorescin diacetate assay kit. RESULTS In H9c2 cells treated with LPS, FOXO1 expression was downregulated in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner. Overexpression of FOXO1 attenuated LPS-induced apoptosis, oxidative stress injury, and cardiomyocyte inflammation, while FOXO1 inhibition aggravated these processes. Additionally, FOXO1 was found to regulate LPS-related myocardial injury by downregulating the expression of NLR family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3). CONCLUSION FOXO1 overexpression attenuated apoptosis, ROS generation, and inflammation, whereas FOXO1 inhibition aggravated LPS-induced cardiomyocyte injury via the NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway.

Abstract
Due to their different biological functions, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have great potential from a therapeutic point of view. They are released by all cell types, carrying and delivering different kinds of biologically functional cargo. Under pathological events, cells can increase their secretion of EVs and can release different amounts of cargo, thus making EVs great biomarkers as indicators of pathological progression. Moreover, EVs are also known to be able to transport and deliver cargo to different recipient cells, having an important role in cellular communication. Interestingly, EVs have recently been explored as biological alternatives for the delivery of therapeutics, being considered natural drug delivery carriers. Because cardiovascular disorders (CVDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide, in this review, we will discuss the up-to-date knowledge regarding the biophysical properties and biological components of EVs, focusing on myocardial infarction, diabetic cardiomyopathy, and sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy, three very different types of CVDs.

Abstract
Introduction Sepsis is associated with endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction, increased vascular permeability and organ injury, which may lead to mortality, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and acute renal failure (ARF). There are no reliable biomarkers to predict these sepsis complications at present. Recent evidence suggests that circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) and their content caspase-1 and miR-126 may play a critical role in modulating vascular injury in sepsis; however, the association between circulating EVs and sepsis outcomes remains largely unknown. Methods We obtained plasma samples from septic patients (n=96) within 24 hours of hospital admission and from healthy controls (n=45). Total, monocyte- or EC-derived EVs were isolated from the plasma samples. Transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER) was used as an indicator of EC dysfunction. Caspase-1 activity in EVs was detected and their association with sepsis outcomes including mortality, ARDS and ARF was analyzed. In another set of experiments, total EVs were isolated from plasma samples of 12 septic patients and 12 non-septic critical illness controls on days 1, and 3 after hospital admission. RNAs were isolated from these EVs and Next-generation sequencing was performed. The association between miR-126 levels and sepsis outcomes such as mortality, ARDS and ARF was analyzed. Results Septic patients with circulating EVs that induced EC injury (lower transendothelial electrical resistance) were more likely to experience ARDS (p<0.05). Higher caspase-1 activity in total EVs, monocyte- or EC-derived EVs was significantly associated with the development of ARDS (p<0.05). MiR-126-3p levels in EC EVs were significantly decreased in ARDS patients compared with healthy controls (p<0.05). Moreover, a decline in miR-126-5p levels from day 1 to day 3 was associated with increased mortality, ARDS and ARF; while decline in miR-126-3p levels from day 1 to day 3 was associated with ARDS development. Conclusions Enhanced caspase-1 activity and declining miR-126 levels in circulating EVs are associated with sepsis-related organ failure and mortality. Extracellular vesicular contents may serve as novel prognostic biomarkers and/or targets for future therapeutic approaches in sepsis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dexmedetomidine (DEX) administered before or at 30 min after sepsis induction was reported to alleviate septic cardiomyopathy in experimental models. However, sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction due to infection-induced dysregulated host response, whether DEX treatment in the presence of organ dysfunction affects septic cardiomyopathy is unknown. This study investigated the effect of DEX posttreatment on septic cardiomyopathy. METHODS Male wild-type and α2A-adrenergic receptor (AR) knockout mice were exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or cecal ligation puncture (CLP), and cultured cardiac endothelial cells were used. Mouse survival, myocardial function, inflammatory response and related signaling pathways were determined. RESULTS DEX treatment at 6, 9 h after LPS challenge significantly reduced survival rate of LPS-challenged mice, especially at 9 h. DEX administered at 9 h after LPS injection or CLP significantly reduced survival in LPS or CLP-induced sepsis in wild-type mice, but not in α2A-AR knockout mice. LPS treatment for 20 h decreased the left ventricle + dp/dt, increased myocardial interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6 concentrations as well as cardiac endothelial tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and ICAM-1 expression, which were enhanced by DEX treated at 9 h after LPS injection in wild-type mice, but not in α2A-AR knockout mice. Furthermore, DEX posttreatment increased p38 phosphorylation, c-Fos nuclear translocation and VCAM-1 expression in LPS-treated cardiac endothelial cells, which were eliminated by α2A-AR knockout or PKC inhibitor. CONCLUSIONS DEX posttreatment aggravates LPS-induced cardiac inflammation and myocardial dysfunction, at least in part, via activating cardiac endothelial α2A-AR-mediated PKC signal pathway.

Abstract
Background Sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction (SIMD) has a significant contribution to sepsis-caused death in critically ill patients. In recent years, the number of published articles related to SIMD has increased rapidly. However, there was no literature that systematically analyzed and evaluated these documents. Thus, we aimed to lay a foundation for researchers to quickly understand the research hotspots, evolution processes and development trends in the SIMD field via a bibliometric analysis. Methods Articles related to SIMD were retrieved and extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection on July 19th, 2022. CiteSpace (version 6.1.R2) and VOSviewer (version 1.6.18) were used for performing visual analysis. Results A total of 1,076 articles were included. The number of SIMD-related articles published each year has increased significantly. These publications mainly came from 56 countries, led by China and the USA, and 461 institutions, but without stable and close cooperation. As authors, Li Chuanfu published the most articles, while Rudiger Alain had the most co-citations. Shock was the journal with the most studies, and Critical Care Medicine was the most commonly cited journal. All keywords were grouped into six clusters, some of which represented the current and developing research directions of SIMD as the molecular mechanisms. Conclusion Research on SIMD is flourishing. It is necessary to strengthen cooperation and exchanges between countries and institutions. The molecular mechanisms of SIMD, especially oxidative stress and regulated cell death, will be critical subjects in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myocardial injury is a major complication of sepsis and a key factor affecting prognosis. Therefore, early and accurate diagnosis and timely management of sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy (SICM) are of great significance for the prevention and treatment of sepsis. The gut microbiota has been shown to be closely associated with sepsis or myocardial injury, but the association between the gut microbiota and SICM is not fully understood. This study aimed to explore the link between gut microbiota composition and SICM. METHODS A case-control and single-center study of clinical features and gut microbiota profiles by Metagenome and Virome was conducted in SICM patients (n = 15) and sepsis-uninduced cardiomyopathy patients (SNICM, n = 16). RESULTS Compared with SNICM patients, SICM patients showed significant myocardial injury and higher 28-day mortality, SOFA scores, lactate levels, and infection levels on admission. Meanwhile, differences in the composition of gut bacteria, archaea, fungi, and viruses were analyzed between the two groups. Differential gut bacteria or viruses were found to have a good predictive effect on SICM. Furthermore, gut bacteria and viruses that differed between the two groups were strongly related. The abundance of Cronobacter and Cronobacter phage was higher in the SICM group than in the SNICM group, and the receiver operating characteristic curve showed that Cronobacter and Cronobacter phage both had a good predictive effect on SICM. CONCLUSIONS SICM patients may have specific gut microbiota signatures, and Cronobacter and Cronobacter phages have a good ability to identify and diagnose SICM.

Abstract
Sepsis is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide and is defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. The early diagnosis and effective treatment of sepsis still face challenges due to its rapid progression, dynamic changes, and strong heterogeneity among different individuals. To develop novel strategies to control sepsis, a better understanding of the complex mechanisms of sepsis is vital. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane vesicles released from cells through different mechanisms. In the disease state, the number of EVs produced by activated or apoptotic cells and the cargoes they carry were altered. They regulated the function of local or distant host cells in autocrine or paracrine ways. Current studies have found that EVs are involved in the occurrence and development of sepsis through multiple pathways. In this review, we focus on changes in the cargoes of EVs in sepsis, the regulatory roles of EVs derived from host cells and bacteria, and how EVs are involved in multiple pathological processes and organ dysfunction in sepsis. Overall, EVs have great application prospects in sepsis, such as early diagnosis of sepsis, dynamic monitoring of disease, precise therapeutic targets, and prevention of sepsis as a vaccine platform.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Introduction: Sepsis impaired vascular integrity results in multiple organ failure. Circulating lactate level is positively correlated with sepsis-induced mortality. We investigated whether lactate plays a role in causing endothelial barrier dysfunction in sepsis. Methods: Polymicrobial sepsis was induced in mice by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). Lactic acid was injected i.p. (pH 6.8, 0.5 g/kg body weight) 6 h after CLP or sham surgery. To elucidate the role of heat shock protein A12B (HSPA12B), wild-type, HSPA12B-transgenic, and endothelial HSPA12B-deficient mice were subjected to CLP or sham surgery. To suppress lactate signaling, 3OBA (120 μM) was injected i.p. 3 h before surgery. Vascular permeability was evaluated with the Evans blue dye penetration assay. Results: We found that administration of lactate elevated CLP-induced vascular permeability. Vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cadherin), claudin 5, and zonula occluden 1 (ZO-1) play a crucial role in the maintenance of endothelial cell junction and vascular integrity. Lactate administration significantly decreased VE-cadherin, claudin 5, and ZO-1 expression in the heart of septic mice. Our in vitro data showed that lactate (10 mM) treatment disrupted VE-cadherin, claudin 5, and ZO-1 in endothelial cells. Mechanistically, we observed that lactate promoted VE-cadherin endocytosis by reducing the expression of HSPA12B. Overexpression of HSPA12B prevented lactate-induced VE-cadherin disorganization. G protein-coupled receptor 81 (GPR81) is a specific receptor for lactate. Inhibition of GPR81 with its antagonist 3OBA attenuated vascular permeability and reversed HSPA12B expression in septic mice. Conclusions: The present study demonstrated a novel role of lactate in promoting vascular permeability by decreasing VE-cadherin junctions and tight junctions in endothelial cells. The deleterious effects of lactate in vascular hyperpermeability are mediated via HSPA12B- and GPR81-dependent signaling.

Abstract
Purpose: Septic cardiomyopathy (SCM) is an important world public health problem with high morbidity and mortality. It is necessary to identify SCM biomarkers at the genetic level to identify new therapeutic targets and strategies. Method: DEGs in SCM were identified by comprehensive bioinformatics analysis of microarray datasets (GSE53007 and GSE79962) downloaded from the GEO database. Subsequently, bioinformatics analysis was used to conduct an in-depth exploration of DEGs, including GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis, PPI network construction, and key gene identification. The top ten Hub genes were identified, and then the SCM model was constructed by treating HL-1 cells and AC16 cells with LPS, and these top ten Hub genes were examined using qPCR. Result: STAT3, SOCS3, CCL2, IL1R2, JUNB, S100A9, OSMR, ZFP36, and HAMP were significantly elevated in the established SCM cells model. Conclusion: After bioinformatics analysis and experimental verification, it was demonstrated that STAT3, SOCS3, CCL2, IL1R2, JUNB, S100A9, OSMR, ZFP36, and HAMP might play important roles in SCM.

Abstract
Objective Sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction (SIMD) seriously affects the evolution and prognosis of the sepsis patient. The gut microbiota has been confirmed to play an important role in sepsis or cardiovascular diseases, but the changes and roles of the gut microbiota in SIMD have not been reported yet. This study aims to assess the compositions of the gut microbiota in sepsis or septic patients with or without myocardial injury and to find the relationship between the gut microbiota and SIMD. Methods The prospective, observational, and 1:1 matched case–control study was conducted to observe gut microbiota profiles from patients with SIMD (n = 18) and matched non-SIMD (NSIMD) patients (n = 18) by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Then the relationship between the relative abundance of microbial taxa and clinical indicators and clinical outcomes related to SIMD was analyzed. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the predictive efficiencies of the varied gut microbiota to SIMD. Results SIMD was associated with poor outcomes in sepsis patients. The beta-diversity of the gut microbiota was significantly different between the SIMD patients and NSIMD subjects. The gut microbiota profiles in different levels significantly differed between the two groups. Additionally, the abundance of some microbes (Klebsiella variicola, Enterobacteriaceae, and Bacteroides vulgatus) was correlated with clinical indicators and clinical outcomes. Notably, ROC analysis indicated that K. variicola may be a potential biomarker of SIMD. Conclusion Our study indicates that SIMD patients may have a particular gut microbiota signature and that the gut microbiota might be a potential diagnostic marker for evaluating the risk of developing SIMD.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM), a condition in which myocardial dysfunction is caused by diabetes mellitus, has become an epidemic disorder in the world. DCM initially presents as diastolic relaxation dysfunction and will progress to heart failure in the absence of coronary artery disease, valvular disease, and other conventional cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension and dyslipidemia. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of DCM are poorly understood. Recent studies reveal that exosomal miRNAs are associated with multiple DCM risk factors and may act as potential therapeutic targets. Therefore, this review summarizes the recent advancements to understand the role of exosomal miRNAs in DCM development and explores potential preventative and therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Sepsis is resulted from a systemic inflammatory response to bacterial, viral, or fungal agents. The induced inflammatory response by these microorganisms can lead to multiple organ system failure with devastating consequences. Recent studies have shown altered expressions of several non-coding RNAs such as long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) during sepsis. These transcripts have also been found to participate in the pathogenesis of multiple organ system failure through different mechanisms. NEAT1, MALAT1, THRIL, XIST, MIAT and TUG1 are among lncRNAs that participate in the pathoetiology of sepsis-related complications. miR-21, miR-155, miR-15a-5p, miR-494-3p, miR-218, miR-122, miR-208a-5p, miR-328 and miR-218 are examples of miRNAs participating in these complications. Finally, tens of circRNAs such as circC3P1, hsa_circRNA_104484, hsa_circRNA_104670 and circVMA21 and circ-PRKCI have been found to affect pathogenesis of sepsis. In the current review, we describe the role of these three classes of noncoding RNAs in the pathoetiology of sepsis-related complications.

Abstract
Sepsis is a sustained systemic inflammatory condition involving multiple organ failures caused by dysregulated immune response to infections. Sepsis induces substantial changes in energy demands at the cellular level leading to metabolic reprogramming in immune cells and stromal cells. Although sepsis-associated organ dysfunction and mortality have been partly attributed to the initial acute hyperinflammation and immunosuppression precipitated by a dysfunction in innate and adaptive immune responses, the late mortality due to metabolic dysfunction and immune paralysis currently represent the major problem in clinics. It is becoming increasingly recognized that intertissue and/or intercellular metabolic crosstalk via endocrine factors modulates maintenance of homeostasis, and pathological events in sepsis and other inflammatory diseases. Exosomes have emerged as a novel means of intercellular communication in the regulation of cellular metabolism, owing to their capacity to transfer bioactive payloads such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids to their target cells. Recent evidence demonstrates transfer of intact metabolic intermediates from cancer-associated fibroblasts via exosomes to modify metabolic signaling in recipient cells and promote cancer progression. Here, we review the metabolic regulation of endothelial cells and immune cells in sepsis and highlight the role of exosomes as mediators of cellular metabolic signaling in sepsis.

Abstract
Sepsis is a deadly condition lacking a specific treatment despite decades of research. This has prompted the exploration of new approaches, with extracellular vesicles (EVs) emerging as a focal area. EVs are nanosized, cell-derived particles that transport bioactive components (i.e., proteins, DNA, and RNA) between cells, enabling both normal physiological functions and disease progression depending on context. In particular, EVs have been identified as critical mediators of sepsis pathophysiology. However, EVs are also thought to constitute the biologically active component of cell-based therapies and have demonstrated anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and immunomodulatory effects in sepsis models. The dual nature of EVs in sepsis is explored here, discussing their endogenous roles and highlighting their therapeutic properties and potential. Related to the latter component, prior studies involving EVs from mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) and other sources are discussed and emerging producer cells that could play important roles in future EV-based sepsis therapies are identified. Further, how methodologies could impact therapeutic development toward sepsis treatment to enhance and control EV potency is described.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane-enclosed particles, heterogeneous in size, shape, contents, biogenesis and structure. They are released by eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells and exert (patho-)physiological roles as mediators for transmitting molecular information from the producer (donor) to a recipient cell. This review focuses on the potential of EVs for delivering nucleic acids, as particularly problematic cargoes with regard to stability/protection and uptake efficacy. It highlights important properties of EVs for nucleic acid delivery and discusses their physiological and pathophysiological roles with regard to various cellular RNA species. It then describes the application of EVs for delivering a broad selection of nucleic acids/oligonucleotides, in particular giving a comprehensive overview of preclinical in vivo studies and the various strategies explored. In this context, different techniques for EV loading are discussed, as well as other important technical aspects related to EV preparation, characterization and in particular, the various approaches of artificial EV modification.

Abstract
Current COVID-19 pandemic poses an unprecedented threat to global health and healthcare systems. The most amount of the death toll is accounted by old people affected by age-related diseases that develop a hyper-inflammatory syndrome. In this regard, we hypothesized that COVID-19 severity may be linked to inflammaging. Here, we examined 30 serum samples from patients enrolled in the clinical trial NCT04315480 assessing the clinical response to a single-dose intravenous infusion of the anti-IL-6 receptor drug Tocilizumab (TCZ) in COVID-19 patients with multifocal interstitial pneumonia. In these serum samples, as well as in 29 age- and gender-matched healthy control subjects, we assessed a set of microRNAs that regulate inflammaging, i.e. miR-146a-5p, miR-21-5p, and miR-126-3p, which were quantified by RT-PCR and Droplet Digital PCR. We showed that COVID-19 patients who did not respond to TCZ have lower serum levels of miR-146a-5p after the treatment (p = 0.007). Among non-responders, those with the lowest serum levels of miR-146a-5p experienced the most adverse outcome (p = 0.008). Our data show that a blood-based biomarker, such as miR-146a-5p, can provide clues about the molecular link between inflammaging and COVID-19 clinical course, thus allowing to better understand the use of biologic drug armory against this worldwide health threat.

Intestinal Epithelium-Derived Luminally Released Extracellular Vesicles in Sepsis Exhibit the Ability to Suppress TNF-a and IL-17A Expression in Mucosal Inflammation. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21228445. [PMID: 33182773 PMCID: PMC7696152 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21228445] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2020] [Revised: 11/04/2020] [Accepted: 11/09/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory disorder induced by a dysregulated immune response to infection resulting in dysfunction of multiple critical organs, including the intestines. Previous studies have reported contrasting results regarding the abilities of exosomes circulating in the blood of sepsis mice and patients to either promote or suppress inflammation. Little is known about how the gut epithelial cell-derived exosomes released in the intestinal luminal space during sepsis affect mucosal inflammation. To study this question, we isolated extracellular vesicles (EVs) from intestinal lavage of septic mice. The EVs expressed typical exosomal (CD63 and CD9) and epithelial (EpCAM) markers, which were further increased by sepsis. Moreover, septic-EV injection into inflamed gut induced a significant reduction in the messaging of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-17A. MicroRNA (miRNA) profiling and reverse transcription and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) revealed a sepsis-induced exosomal increase in multiple miRNAs, which putatively target TNF-α and IL-17A. These results imply that intestinal epithelial cell (IEC)-derived luminal EVs carry miRNAs that mitigate pro-inflammatory responses. Taken together, our study proposes a novel mechanism by which IEC EVs released during sepsis transfer regulatory miRNAs to cells, possibly contributing to the amelioration of gut inflammation.

Abstract
Angiogenesis is essential for cardiac functional recovery after myocardial infarction (MI). HSPA12B is predominately expressed in endothelial cells and required for angiogenesis. Yes-associated protein (YAP) plays an important role in tumor angiogenesis. This study investigated the cooperative role of HSPA12B and YAP in angiogenesis after MI. Silencing of either HSPA12B or YAP impaired hypoxia-promoted endothelial cell proliferation and angiogenesis. Deficiency of HSPA12B suppressed YAP expression and nuclear translocation after hypoxia. Knockdown of YAP attenuated hypoxia-stimulated HSPA12B nuclear translocation and abrogated HSPA12B-promoted endothelial cell angiogenesis. Mechanistically, hypoxia induced an interaction between endothelial HSPA12B and YAP. ChIP assay showed that HSPA12B is a target gene of YAP/transcriptional enhanced associated domain 4 (TEAD4) and a coactivator in YAP-associated angiogenesis. In vivo studies using the MI model showed that endothelial cell-specific deficiency of HSPA12B (eHspa12b-/-) or YAP (eYap-/-) impaired angiogenesis and exacerbated cardiac dysfunction compared with WT mice. MI increased YAP expression and nuclear translocation in WT hearts but not eHspa12b-/- hearts. HSPA12B expression and nuclear translocation were upregulated in WT MI hearts but not eYap-/- MI myocardium. Our data demonstrate that endothelial HSPA12B is a target and coactivator for YAP/TEAD4 and cooperates with YAP to regulate endothelial angiogenesis after MI.
