Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of dexmedetomidine(Dex)pretreated pericytes(Dex-PCs)on acute lung injury(ALI)in septic mice.Methods Mouse model of sepsis-ALI was established with intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide(LPS)at a dose of 10 mg/kg.A total of 96 C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into sham operation(Sham)group,ALI group,PC treatment group and Dex-PCs treatment group.The mice of the PCs and Dex-PCs groups received a tail venous injection of 5×105 PC cells,respectively,whereas those of the Sham and ALI groups received equal volume of normal saline.Flow cytometry,immunofluorescence assay,whole-body volume tracing system and ELISA were used to observe the changes in the colonization of PCs,pulmonary vascular permeability,lung function,serum TNF-α and IL-6 levels,as well as the survival rate and survival time of mice at 72 h after LPS stimulation.After PCs and Dex-PCs were exposed to 10 μg/mL LPS,the level of intracellular reactive oxygen species(ROS)was measured.Results Compared with the Sham group,the ALI group had increased permeability of pulmonary vascular endothelial cells,extensive extravasation of Evans blue,severely destructed of lung tissue structure and massive inflammatory cell infiltration,higher lung wet/dry weight ratio,elevated serum TNF-α and IL-6 levels,and declined lung function,and no mice survived for 72 h after modeling(P＜0.05).Both PC cell treatment effectively alleviated the pulmonary vascular endothelial leakage,reduced Evans blue content per unit tissue,improved lung pathological structure,lung function and inflammatory responses,and significantly improved the survival rates in the PC group and the Dex-PC group(P＜0.05).What's more,the therapeutic effect of Dex-PC cells was significantly better than that of the PC cells(P＜0.05).LPS stimulation induced ROS accumulation greatly in PCs,but no such effect was observed in the PCs after Dex pretreatment(P＜0.05).Conclusion Dex pretreatment significantly enhances PCs'protective effect on pulmonary vascular endothelial barrier functions in septic mice,which may be due to its enhancing anti-oxidative capacity of PCs.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of remimazolam(Remi),a novel benzodiazepine sedative,on intestinal barrier function in septic mice.Methods A mouse model of sepsis was established using cecal ligation and puncture(CLP).A total of 96 SPF-grade adult male C57BL/6 mice were randomized into sham operation(Sham),sepsis(Sepsis),and sepsis with Remi intervention(Sepsis+Remi)groups.Survival rate and survival time were recorded within 72 h after modeling.Intestinal pathological alterations,barrier functional indicators,ZO-1 expression,and macrophage polarization status were observed and detected to evaluate the effects of Remi.Lipopolysaccharide(LPS)was used to treat RAW264.7 cells for 24 h to simulate in vitro sepsis model.The cells were divided into control(Control),LPS,and LPS+Remi groups.Immunofluorescence staining was performed to assess macrophage phenotype,mitochondrial morphology,and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species(MtROS),and Western blotting was applied to detect the protein expression of iNOS and CD206.Results Compared with the sepsis group,Remi intervention significantly improved the survival rate of septic mice from 12.50%to 68.75%and markedly prolonged survival duration(P<0.05).Histopathological analysis demonstrated partial restoration of intestinal villus architecture,accompanied with attenuated interstitial edema and reduced inflammatory cell infiltration after Remi intervention.Furthermore,the intervention group demonstrated significant improvement in functional indicators.Both in vivo and in vitro experiments demonstrated elevated iNOS and decreased CD206 expression in the septic mice and LPS-stimulated macrophages(P<0.05),which were partially reversed after Remi intervention.Furthermore,LPS-stimulated macrophages exhibited fragmented mitochondria and elevated MtROS level,whereas Remi intervention ameliorated these conditions(P<0.05).Conclusion Remi protects intestinal barrier function in septic mice by mitigating mitochondrial dynamics imbalance-induced oxidative damage and ameliorating inflammatory macrophage activation.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of mitochondrial fission inhibitor 1(Mdivi-1),on organ function in rats with explosive blast injury combined with hemorrhagic shock.Methods A total of 192 SD rats(half male and half female,12 weeks old,weighing about 220 g)were randomly divided into 6 groups:Sham group(only surgical incision along the midline of the abdomen),model group(ESH group,thermal radiation and shock wave injury followed by femoral artery hemorrhage),lactated Ringer's solution resuscitation group(ESH+LR group,LR solution infusion in the femoral vein for resuscitation),and low-,middle-and high-dose Mdivi-1 groups(0.1,0.5 and 1.0 mg/kg Mdivi-1 intervention after infusion of LR solution).Fluorescent protein tracing was used to determine the leakage amount of fluorescent protein in the lung and kidney tissues to evaluate the vascular permeability.Evans blue dye staining was employed to observe the intestinal permeability and pulmonary vascular permeability.Laser Doppler flowmetry was applied to monitor the tissue blood perfusion in the liver,kidneys,and intestine.Serum levels of cardiac injury marker troponin I(TNI),liver function markers aspartate aminotransferase(AST)and alanine aminotransferase(ALT),and renal function markers serum creatinine(Scr)and blood urea nitrogen(BUN)were detected to evaluate the functions of corresponding organs.The water contents of the lungs and brain were calculated by measuring wet weight and dry weight of the lung and brain tissues.Blood pressure,heart rate,and respiratory rate were monitored.The survival time and 72-hour survival rate were recorded and calculated.Results Compared with the Sham group,the ESH group exhibited significantly increased vascular permeability in the lungs and kidneys as well as intestinal tissue(P<0.05),along with obviously elevated water contents in the lungs and brain(P<0.05),and decreased blood perfusion in the liver,kidneys,and intestine by 57.1%,39.2%,and 43.2%of the Sham group,respectively(P<0.05),elevated levels of TNI,AST,ALT,Scr and BUN(P<0.05),mean survival time of 3.8±1.1 h,and a 72-hour survival rate of 0(P<0.05).Although LR solution resuscitation reduced vascular permeability and alleviated organ injury in rats with explosive injury combined with hemorrhagic shock,there were no significant differences compared to the ESH group(P>0.05).Mdivi-1 treatment notably decreased vascular permeability in the lungs and kidneys and intestine,and water contents in the lungs and brain when compared with the LR group(P<0.05),with the dose of 0.5 mg/kg demonstrating the most significant effect.Additionally,Mdivi-1 treatment also significantly enhanced organ perfusion,improved organ functions,prolonged survival time,and increased survival rate.The 0.5 mg/kg treatment resulted in a 72-hour average survival time 55.64 h and a survival rate of 62.5%.Conclusion Mitochondrial fission inhibitor Mdivi-1 can reduce the permeabilities in the lungs,kidneys and intestine,improve tissue blood perfusion,protect the organ functions of the heart,liver and kidneys,and finally prolong survival time and increase survival rate in rats with concomitant explosive blast injury and hemorrhagic shock.

Objective To explore the protective effect of L-carnitine on myocardial systolic dysfunction in sepsis and its underlying mechanism.Methods A mouse sepsis model was established by cecal ligation and puncture(CLP).Ten-week-old male SPF-grade C57BL/6 mice(body weight 20～30 g)were randomly divided into 5 groups via random number table:Sham group,Sepsis group,L-carnitine group,L-carnitine+Etomoxir(Eto)group,and Eto group.Echocardiography assessed cardiac function,ELISA measured serum creatine kinase isoenzyme MB(CK-MB)levels,and 72-hour survival rates were recorded to evaluate L-carnitine's effects on cardiac function.Cardiomyocytes were isolated,and a cell microtensiometer was used to detect cardiomyocyte contractile function and calcium transients.Myocardial tissues were collected from each group,and ELISA was used to determine the contents of triglyceride(TG),free fatty acid(FFA),and adenosine triphosphate(ATP).An in vitro sepsis model was constructed by stimulating HL-1 cardiomyocytes with lipopolysaccharide(LPS)for 12 hours,which was divided into 5 groups:control(CTRL)group,LPS group,L-carnitine group,L-carnitine+Eto group,and Eto group.ELISA was used to detect the contents of TG,FFA,and ATP as well as the activity of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A(CPT1A)in cardiomyocytes.A cellular energy metabolism analysis system was employed to measure fatty acid oxidation capacity,and Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of CPT1A in cardiomyocytes.BODIPY-FL-C16(green fluorescently labeled palmitic acid)was utilized to detect the distribution of fatty acids in the cytoplasm and mitochondria via immunofluorescence technology,thereby observing the ability of cells to transport fatty acids into mitochondria.Results Compared with the Sham group,cardiac function was significantly impaired in the Sepsis group,as evidenced by decreased ejection fraction and mean arterial pressure(P<0.05),along with elevated levels of the cardiac injury marker CK-MB(P<0.05).Treatment with L-carnitine significantly improved myocardial function,restored blood pressure in septic mice,and increased their survival rate from 12.50%to 81.25%(P<0.05).Compared with the Sham group,the contractile function and calcium transients of acutely isolated single cardiomyocytes were significantly reduced in the Sepsis group(P<0.05),while L-carnitine treatment remarkably restored the contractile function and calcium release capacity of septic cardiomyocytes(P<0.05).Both in vivo and in vitro experiments showed that TG and FFA levels were significantly increased(P<0.05),and ATP levels was significantly decreased(P<0.05)in the Sepsis and LPS groups—effects significantly reversed by L-carnitine treatment.Compared with the CTRL group,the basal oxidation rate and maximum oxidation capacity of fatty acids in cardiomyocytes of the LPS group were significantly reduced(P<0.05),and L-carnitine treatment notably improved these indicators.Compared with the CTRL group,the expression and activity of CPT1A in cardiomyocytes of the LPS group were significantly decreased(P<0.05),while L-carnitine treatment significantly increased the expression and activity of CPT1A(P<0.05).In LPS group cardiomyocytes,green fluorescently labeled palmitic acid primarily formed numerous granular/clumpy aggregates in the cytoplasm with minimal mitochondrial colocalization.In the L-carnitine group,the green fluorescent granules in the cytoplasm of cardiomyocytes were smaller,and colocalization with mitochondria was increased.However,the L-carnitine+Eto group exhibited similar phenomena to the LPS group.In addition,both in vivo and in vitro experiments demonstrated that treatment with the CPT1A inhibitor Eto reversed the effect of L-carnitine.Compared with the L-carnitine group,the ATP content in the L-carnitine+Eto group was significantly decreased(P<0.05),while the FFA content was significantly increased(P<0.05).Conclusion L-carnitine facilitates fatty acid entry into mitochondria for β-oxidation via a CPT1A-dependent mechanism,thereby ameliorating fatty acid oxidation dysfunction in septic cardiomyocytes and improving myocardial contractile function.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of mitochondrial preconditioning in pericytes(PC)against pulmonary vascular leakage in septic rats.Methods ① 128 specific-pathogen-free SD rats(equal gender,200±20 g)were randomized into:Sham group(postoperative tail vein injection of 0.5 mL saline),Sepsis(Sep)group(CLP+saline),PC group(CLP+untreated PC:106 cells/rat),and Mito-PC group(CLP+PC preconditioned with 2 μg mitochondria/104 cells for 12 h).Assessments included:PC lung colonization(flow cytometry),pulmonary barrier function(Evans blue assay),lung histopathology(HE staining),serum organ injury markers[cTnT(cardiac),urea/creatinine(renal)],and inflammatory cytokines(TNF-α,IL-6).② MSC-derived mitochondria were validated by electron microscopy/flow cytometry;primary retinal PCs from weaned SD rats were purity-verified(confocal microscopy).In vitro groups:Control(PC),Mito-PC,PC+H2O2(0.5 μmol/L,4 h),and Mito-PC+H2O2.Antioxidant capacity was assessed via pentose phosphate pathway(PPP)activity,NADPH levels,G6PD activity,and NADP+/NADPH ratio.Results① Compared with Sham,Sep group showed significant increase in pulmonary leakage(Evans blue P<0.05),severe lung injury,elevated serum markers(TNF-α,IL-6,cTnT,urea,creatinine all P<0.05),0％72 h survival.PC group showed partial improvement(P<0.05).Mito-PC group demonstrated significant reduction in vascular leakage(P<0.05 vs PC group),improved histopathology and organ function(P<0.05),attenuated inflammation(P<0.05),higher 72 h survival rate(P<0.05).② Mitochondrial preconditioning significantly enhanced PPP activation and NADPH-mediated antioxidative capacity,Mito-PC+H2O2 vs PC+H2O2 showed improved cell viability(P<0.05),Mito-PC vs PC showed increased G6PD activity(P<0.05),decreased NADP+/NADPH ratio(P<0.05).Conclusion Mitochondrial preconditioning potentiates pericyte-mediated protection against sepsis-induced pulmonary vascular leakage through enhanced pentose phosphate pathway activity.Mitochondrial preconditioning potentiates pericyte-mediated protection against sepsis-induced pulmonary vascular leakage through enhanced pentose phosphate pathway activity.

AIM: To investigate the relationship between vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) injury, organelle stress response and autophagic cell death (autophagy) and ferroptosis induced by the chemical hypoxia inducer cobalt chloride (CoCl2) through the bioinformatics analysis and in vitro cell experimentation. METHODS: The dataset GSE119226 of VSMC treated with cobalt chloride was acquired from the gene expression database (GEO). The R language was used to investigate the relationship between CoCl2 treatment and organelle stress response (Golgi stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress) and two forms of cell death (ferroptosis and autophagic cell death). With primary cultured rat VSMC (rVSMC) and CoCl2-induced anoxia model, the changes in cell viability were detected by CCK-8 method, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were measured using DCFH-DA method. The expression levels of HIF-1α (a key molecule in hypoxia), Golgi stress markers GM130 and p115, endoplasmic reticulum stress markers GRP78 and CHOP, autophagy markers LC3-II / LC3-I and Beclin1, and ferroptosis markers GPx4 and xCT were detected by Western blot. The effect of inducing or inhibiting organelle stress and cell death on the CoCl2-induced cell damage was also observed. RESULTS: Differentially expressed genes analysis of GSE119226 dataset showed that CoCl2 treatment of VSMCs had significant effects on organelle function and stress response, autophagy and ferroptosis-related genes, in which endoplasmic reticulum stress, protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum, regulation of Golgi to plasma membrane protein transport, autophagy / autophagic cell death, and ferroptosis pathways were remarkably enriched. The results of in vitro experiment showed that compared with normal rVSMC, cell viability was significantly decreased after CoCl2 treatment, as well as HIF-1α protein expression and ROS levels in rVSMCs were increased. In rVSMC treated with Co-Cl2, the expression levels of Golgi structural proteins GM130 and p115 (reflecting the occurrence of Golgi stress) were decreased, while the markers GRP78 and CHOP (reflecting the occurrence of endoplasmic reticulum stress) were increased. At the same time, CoCl2 treatment also reduced the expression of autophagy markers LC3-II/LC3-I and Beclin1 (indicating the decrease levels of autophagy), while the expression of ferroptosis markers GPx4 and xCT were decreased (indicating the occurrence of ferroptosis). Compared with CoCl2 treatment group, induced Golgi stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, or ferroptosis could further reduce cell viability, while inhibition of these processes could improve cell viability. On the other hand, increasing the level of autophagy can improve the cell viability. CONCLUSION: Hypoxia induced by cobalt chloride can lead to VSMC injury. Golgi stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, ferroptosis, and the reduction of autophagy level play an important role in it. Inhibition of organelle stress response and ferroptosis, or increase of autophagy level can improve VSMC injury caused by cobalt chloride.

Objective To investigate the clearance capacity of cardiac resident macrophages in post-sepsis and its underlying mechanism.Methods A mouse model of sepsis was established using cecum perforation ligation.Thirty male C57BL/6 mice(8 weeks old,weighing 20～25 g)were randomly and equally divided into a sham operation group(sham group)and a model group(sepsis group).Immunofluorescence assay was employed to label the cardiomyocytes and macrophages to observe the apoptosis of cardiomyocytes and the phagocytosis by cardiac resident macrophages.Cardiac resident macrophages were extracted for transcriptomic sequencing to determine the functional changes of the cells after sepsis.Cardiac resident macrophage cell lines were established at the cellular level and served as the normal group(RAC group),and the RAC cells treated with LPS were subjected as the sepsis group(RAC+LPS group).Then the differences in the ability to clear apoptotic cardiomyocytes between the 2 groups were observed.Then DQ-BSA-RED lysosomal activity detection probe,Lyso-Sensor yellow/bule dye,ELISA,and Western blotting were applied to detect the lysosomal function of cardiac resident macrophages,activity and expression of important lysosomal hydrolases,changes in contents and related subunits of vacuolar-type adenosine triphosphatases(V-ATPase).Results Compared with the sham group,the sepsis group had larger number of apoptotic cardiomyocytes(P＜0.05)and increased phagocytosis of cardiomyocytes by cardiac macrophages(P＜0.05).The results of transcriptomic sequencing revealed a significant dysfunction of lysosome-associated functions of cardiac-resident macrophages after sepsis.In in vitro experiments,the RAC+LPS group had a reduced fragmentation capacity of apoptotic cardiomyocytes,reduction in the intensity of yellow fluorescence of lysosomes(P＜0.05),and decrease in lysosomal hydrolase activity(P＜0.05)when compared with the RAC group.In addition,LPS treatment significantly decreased the activity and expression of V-ATPase and its major subunit ATP6V1A in cardiac resident macrophages(P＜0.05).Conclusion Cardiac resident macrophages show reduced clearance of apoptotic cardiomyocytes after sepsis,which may be related to a decrease in the activity of ATP6V1A,an important subunit of its lysosomal V-ATPase,and reduced activity of lysosomal hydrolases.

The endocannabinoid system(ECS)consists of a variety of long-chain unsaturated fatty acid analogs,mainly anandamide(AEA)and 2-arachidoniyl glycerol(2-AG),along with their specific binding G protein-coupled receptors,cannabinoid receptor 1(CB1R)and cannabinoid receptor 2(CB2R).It affects the life process and biological activity of almost all cells in the body by influencing cell material and energy metabolism.In the liver,the physiological expression of ECS is at a low level.The expression and secretion of ECS in the liver can be strongly stimulated by liver injury factors.ECS acts as a trigger in multiple liver diseases.It is known to be related to the process of hepatocyte steatosis and promote the formation and development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)and alcoholic liver disease(ALD).It is involved in the inflammatory processes of liver diseases and greatly affects the immune-inflammatory response in liver tissue.It is also involved in the formation of liver fibers and promotes the occurrence and development of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis.Finally,the role and mechanisms of ECS in the occurrence and development of liver diseases are elaborated in detail by listing lipid metabolism-related liver diseases(NAFLD and ALD)and other liver diseases.
