高糖环境下持续性牵张力对子宫平滑肌细胞白介素-1和白介素-6表达的影响

IL-17 response mediates acute lung injury induced by the 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1) virus

The 2009 flu pandemic involved the emergence of a new strain of a swine-origin H1N1 influenza virus (S-OIV H1N1) that infected almost every country in the world. Most infections resulted in respiratory illness and some severe cases resulted in acute lung injury. In this report, we are the first to describe a mouse model of S-OIV virus infection with acute lung injury and immune responses that reflect human clinical disease. The clinical efficacy of the antiviral oseltamivir (Tamiflu) administered in the early stages of S-OIV H1N1 infection was confirmed in the mouse model. Moreover, elevated levels of IL-17, Th-17 mediators and IL-17-responsive cytokines were found in serum samples of S-OIV-infected patients in Beijing. IL-17 deficiency or treatment with monoclonal antibodies against IL-17-ameliorated acute lung injury induced by the S-OIV H1N1 virus in mice. These results suggest that IL-17 plays an important role in S-OIV-induced acute lung injury and that monoclonal antibodies against IL-17 could be useful as a potential therapeutic remedy for future S-OIV H1N1 pandemics.     

The microRNA miR-17 regulates lung FoxA1 expression during lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury

Acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe pulmonary disease that causes a high number of fatalities worldwide. Studies have shown that FoxA1 expression is upregulated during ALI and may play an important role in ALI by promoting the apoptosis of alveolar type II epithelial cells. However, the mechanism of FoxA1 overexpression in ALI is unclear. In this study, an in vivo murine model of ALI and alveolar type II epithelial cells injury was induced using lipopolysaccharide (LPS). LPS upregulated FoxA1 in the lung tissue of the in vivo ALI model and in LPS-challenged type II epithelial cells. In contrast, miR-17 was significantly downregulated in these models. After miR-17 antagomir injection, the expression of FoxA1 was significantly increased in ALI mice. MiR-17 mimics could significantly inhibit FoxA1 mRNA and protein expression, whereas the miR-17 inhibitor could significantly increase FoxA1 mRNA and protein expression in LPS-induced type II epithelial cells. Thus, our results suggest that the downregulation of miR-17 expression could lead to FoxA1 overexpression in ALI.     

A murine model of sepsis following smoke inhalation injury

Acute lung injury (ALI) by smoke inhalation with subsequent pneumonia and sepsis represents a major cause of morbidity and mortality in burn patients. The aim of the present study was to develop a murine model of ALI and sepsis to enhance the knowledge of mechanistic aspects and pathophysiological changes in patients with these injuries. In deeply anesthetized female C57BL/6 mice, injury was induced by four sets of cotton smoke using an inhalation chamber. Afterward, live Pseudomonas aeruginosa (3.2 × 10⁷ colony-forming units) was administered intranasally. The indicated dose of bacteria was determined based on the results of a dose-response study (n = 47). The following study groups were monitored for survival over 96 h: (1) sham injury group, (2) only smoke inhalation group, (3) only bacteria group, and (4) smoke inhalation plus bacteria group. Each group included 10 mice. The survival rates were 100%, 90%, 30%, and 10%, respectively. The double hit injury was associated with excessive releases of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the plasma, and enhanced neutrophil accumulation, increased lipid peroxidation, and excessive formation of reactive nitrogen species in the lung. In mice receiving only smoke inhalation injury, no systemic cytokine release and increased lung tissue lipid peroxidation were observed. However, smoke alone significantly increased neutrophil accumulation and formation of reactive nitrogen species in lung tissue. In conclusion, bacterial pneumonia is predominantly responsible for mortality and morbidity in this novel murine model of smoke inhalation and pulmonary sepsis. Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species mediate the severity of lung injury.     

血清TRAF-6、MCP-1、sTREM-1、IL-33水平与脓毒症严重程度及与合并急性肾损伤关系的临床分析

目的:探讨脓毒症患者血清肿瘤坏死因子受体相关因子(Tumor necrosis factor receptor-related factor,TRAF)-6、单核细胞趋化蛋白(Monocyte chemotactic protein,MCP)-1、可溶性髓样细胞触发受体(Soluble myeloid cell trigger receptor,s TREM)-1、白介素(Interleukin,IL)-33水平的变化及与病情严重程度及合并急性肾损伤(acute kidney injury, AKI)的相关性。方法:选择2014年2月到2018年7月在我医院ICU病房进行诊治的脓毒症患者145例,分析脓毒症相关性急性肾损伤(sepsis-associated AKI,SAKI)的发生情况,比较SAKI和非SAKI患者血清TRAF-6、MCP-1、s TREM-1、IL-33水平,采用Pearson相关分析血清TRAF-6、MCP-1、s TREM-1、IL-33含量与APACHEⅡ评分、SOFA评分的相关性,多因素logistic回归分析脓毒症患者发生SAKI的影响因素。结果:在145例患者中,发生SAKI者69例,发生率为47.6%。SAKI组患者的年龄、性别、原发病、白细胞(white blood cell,WBC)计数、C反应蛋白(C reactive protein,CRP)、降钙素原(procalcitonin,PCT)、体重指数、BUN、Scr与eGFR值与非SAKI组患者对比差异均无统计学意义(P0.05)。SAKI组患者APACHEⅡ评分、SOFA评分血清TRAF-6、MCP-1、s TREM-1、IL-33含水平含量均显著高于非SAKI组患者(P0.05)。Pearson相关性分析显示血清TRAF-6、MCP-1、s TREM-1、IL-33水平与SAKI患者的急性生理和慢性健康Ⅱ(acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II,APACHEⅡ)评分、序贯多器官功能障碍(sequential organ failure assessment,SOFA)评分均呈显著正相关性(P0.05)。logistic回归分析显示血清TRAF-6、MCP-1、s TREM-1、IL-33水平升高均为影响SAKI发生的独立危险因素(P0.05)。结论:血清TRAF-6、MCP-1、s TREM-1、IL-33水平与脓毒症严重程度显著相关,可能作为诊断和治疗SAKI的参考指标及干预靶点。     

Angiotensin II type-1 receptor antagonist attenuates LPS-induced acute lung injury

Angiotensin II is able to trigger inflammatory responses through an angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor. The role of AT1 receptor in acute lung injury (ALI) is poorly understood. Mice were randomly divided into three groups (n = 40 each groups): NS group; LPS group (2 mg/kg LPS intratracheally); and LPS + ZD 7155 group, 10 mg/kg ZD 7155 (an AT1 receptor antagonist) intraperitoneally 30 min prior to LPS exposure. Samples from the lung were isolated and assayed for histopathology analyses or proinflammatory gene expressions, angiotensin II receptors expressions and nuclear factors activities. LPS exposure resulted in severe ALI, elevated levels of TNF-α and IL-1β mRNA expressions, and increased activities of NF-κB and activated protein (AP)-1. Upregulation of AT1 receptor and down-regulation of AT2 receptor were also observed after LPS challenge. Pretreatment with ZD 7155 significantly inhibited the increase of AT1 receptor expression and upregulated AT2 receptor expression. ZD 7155 also reduced the mRNA expression of TNF-α and IL-1β, inhibited the activation of NF-κB and AP-1, and improved lung histopathology. These findings suggest that antagonism of AT1 receptor inhibits the activation of NF-κB and AP-1 in the lung, which may mediate the release of TNF-α and IL-1β and contribute to LPS-induced ALI.
