Abstract
Mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are important intracellular organelles. The sites that mitochondrial and ER are closely related in structure and function are called Mitochondria-ER contacts (MERCs). MERCs are involved in a variety of biological processes, including calcium signaling, lipid synthesis and transport, autophagy, mitochondrial dynamics, ER stress, and inflammation. Sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction (SIMD) is a vital organ damage caused by sepsis, which is closely associated with mitochondrial and ER dysfunction. Growing evidence strongly supports the role of MERCs in the pathogenesis of SIMD. In this review, we summarize the biological functions of MERCs and the roles of MERCs proteins in SIMD.

Lipopolysaccharide Modifies Sodium Current Kinetics through ROS and PKC Signalling in Induced Pluripotent Stem-Derived Cardiomyocytes from Brugada Syndrome Patient. J Cardiovasc Dev Dis 2022; 9:jcdd9040119. [PMID: 35448095 PMCID: PMC9025958 DOI: 10.3390/jcdd9040119] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2022] [Revised: 03/17/2022] [Accepted: 04/11/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Studies have suggested a connection between inflammation and arrhythmogenesis of Brugada syndrome (BrS). However, experimental studies regarding the roles of inflammation in the arrhythmogenesis of BrS and its underlying mechanism are still lacking. This study aimed to investigate the influence of inflammation on BrS-phenotype features using human-induced stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) from a BrS-patient carrying an SCN10A variant (c.3749G > A). After LPS treatment, the peak sodium current decreased significantly in SCN10A-hiPSC-CMs, but not in healthy donor-hiPSC-CMs. LPS also changed sodium channel gating kinetics, including activation, inactivation, and recovery from inactivation. NAC (N-acetyl-l-cysteine), a blocker of ROS (reactive oxygen species), failed to affect the sodium current, but prevented the LPS-induced reduction of sodium channel currents and changes in gating kinetics, suggesting a contribution of ROS to the LPS effects. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), a main form of ROS in cells, mimicked the LPS effects on sodium channel currents and gating kinetics, implying that ROS might mediate LPS-effects on sodium channels. The effects of H2O2 could be attenuated by a PKC blocker chelerythrine, indicating that PKC is a downstream factor of ROS. This study demonstrated that LPS can exacerbate the loss-of-function of sodium channels in BrS cells. Inflammation may play an important role in the pathogenesis of BrS.

Qin G, Wei L, Jiang F, Li J, Zhang B, Pan D, Lu X. LncRNA NR024118 is downregulated in sepsis and inhibits LPS‑induced apoptosis of cardiomyocytes. Mol Med Rep 2021; 23:434. [PMID: 33846787 PMCID: PMC8060807 DOI: 10.3892/mmr.2021.12073] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2020] [Accepted: 01/13/2021] [Indexed: 01/29/2023] Open
Abstract
It has been reported that lncRNA-NR024118 can suppress lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory responses, which promote sepsis. The present study aimed to investigate the involvement of NR024118 in sepsis. Research subjects included 82 patients with sepsis without myocardial dysfunction (MD), 35 patients with sepsis with MD and 82 healthy controls. The expression levels of NR024118 in plasma collected from these participants and LPS-induced AC16 cells were measured by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. The expression levels of IL-16 in these plasma samples and LPS-induced AC16 cells were measured by ELISA. The correlation between the expression levels of NR024118 and IL-6 across plasma samples were analyzed by Pearson's correlation coefficient. The action potential duration (APD) was measured at 50 and 90% repolarization. Cell apoptosis was determined by cell apoptosis assay. The expression levels of p-transcription factor p65 were detected by western blot analysis. NF-κB activity were analyzed by luciferase reporter assay. It was found that NR024118 was downregulated and IL-6 was upregulated in the plasma of patients with sepsis. Among patients with sepsis, the individuals with MD exhibited even lower expression levels of NR024118 and higher expression levels of IL-6. Among patients with sepsis with MD, the expression levels of NR024118 and IL-6 were inversely correlated. LPS could induce MD to construct the sepsis models based on the increased expression levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and shortened APD by LPS-mediated induction. Overexpression of NR024118 significantly reduced the secretion of IL-6 and apoptosis of cardiomyocytes under LPS treatment. Functional studies demonstrated that NR024118 had negative regulation on p65 phosphorylation and NF-κB activation. NR024118 was suppressed in sepsis and inhibited LPS-induced apoptosis of cardiomyocytes.

Abstract
We recently established a role for the stretch-activated two-pore-domain K+ (K2P) channel TREK-1 (K2P2.1) in inflammatory cytokine secretion using models of hyperoxia-, mechanical stretch-, and TNF-α-induced acute lung injury. We have now discovered the expression of large conductance, Ca2+-activated K+ (BK) channels in human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells and primary human alveolar epithelial cells using semiquantitative real-time PCR, IP and Western blot, and investigated their role in inflammatory cytokine secretion using an LPS-induced acute lung injury model. As expected, LPS induced IL-6 and CCL-2 secretion from pulmonary endothelial and epithelial cells. BK activation with NS1619 decreased LPS-induced CCL-2 but not IL-6 secretion from endothelial cells and had no effect on epithelial cells, although fluorometric assays revealed that BK activation hyperpolarized the plasma membrane potential (Em) of both cell types. Interestingly, BK inhibition (Paxilline) did not alter cytokine secretion or the Em in either cell type. Furthermore, LPS treatment by itself did not affect the Em or intracellular Ca2+ concentrations. Therefore, we propose BK channel activation as a novel targeted approach to counteract LPS-induced CCL-2 secretion from endothelial cells. This protective effect appears to occur via Em hyperpolarization but independent of intracellular Ca2+ concentrations.

Abstract
This review covers the literature published in 2019 for marine natural products (MNPs), with 719 citations (701 for the period January to December 2019) referring to compounds isolated from marine microorganisms and phytoplankton, green, brown and red algae, sponges, cnidarians, bryozoans, molluscs, tunicates, echinoderms, mangroves and other intertidal plants and microorganisms. The emphasis is on new compounds (1490 in 440 papers for 2019), together with the relevant biological activities, source organisms and country of origin. Pertinent reviews, biosynthetic studies, first syntheses, and syntheses that led to the revision of structures or stereochemistries, have been included. Methods used to study marine fungi and their chemical diversity have also been discussed.
