Identification of a key pathway required for the sterile inflammatory response triggered by dying cells 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Dying cells stimulate inflammation, and this response is thought to contribute to the pathogenesis of many diseases. Very little has been known, however, about how cell death triggers inflammation. We found here that the acute neutrophilic inflammatory response to cell injury requires the signaling protein myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (Myd88). Analysis of the contribution of Myd88-dependent receptors to this response revealed only a minor reduction in mice doubly deficient in Toll-like receptor 2 (Tlr2) and Tlr4 and normal responses in mice lacking Tlr1, Tlr3, Tlr6, Tlr7, Tlr9, Tlr11 or the interleukin-18 receptor (IL-18R). However, mice lacking IL-1R showed a markedly reduced neutrophilic inflammatory response to dead cells and tissue injury in vivo as well as greatly decreased collateral damage from inflammation. This inflammatory response required IL-1alpha, and IL-1R function was required on non-bone-marrow-derived cells. Notably, the acute monocyte response to cell death, which is thought to be important for tissue repair, was much less dependent on the IL-1R-Myd88 pathway. Also, this pathway was not required for the neutrophil response to a microbial stimulus. These findings suggest that inhibiting the IL-1R-Myd88 pathway in vivo could block the damage from acute inflammation that occurs in response to sterile cell death, and do so in a way that might not compromise tissue repair or host defense against pathogens. 相似文献

The fibrotic response has evolutionary worked in tandem with the inflammatory response to facilitate healing following injury or tissue destruction as a result of pathogen clearance. However, excessive inflammation and fibrosis are key pathological drivers of organ tissue damage. Moreover, fibrosis can occur in several conditions associated with chronic inflammation that are not directly caused by overt tissue injury or infection. In the heart, in particular, fibrotic adverse cardiac remodeling is a key pathological driver of cardiac dysfunction in heart failure. Cardiac fibroblast activation and immune cell activation are two mechanistic domains necessary for fibrotic remodeling in the heart, and, independently, their contributions to cardiac fibrosis and cardiac inflammation have been studied and reviewed thoroughly. The interdependence of these two processes, and how their cellular components modulate each other's actions in response to different cardiac insults, is only recently emerging. Here, we review recent literature in cardiac fibrosis and inflammation and discuss the mechanisms involved in the fibrosis-inflammation axis in the context of specific cardiac stresses, such as myocardial ischemia, and in nonischemic heart conditions. We discuss how the search for anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic therapies, so far unsuccessful to date, needs to be based on our understanding of the interdependence of immune cell and fibroblast activities. We highlight that in addition to the extensively reviewed role of immune cells modulating fibroblast function, cardiac fibroblasts are central participants in inflammation that may acquire immune like cell functions. Lastly, we review the gut-heart axis as an example of a novel perspective that may contribute to our understanding of how immune and fibrotic modulation may be indirectly modulated as a potential area for therapeutic research. 相似文献

Normal tissue architecture is disrupted following injury, as resident tissue cells become damaged and immune cells are recruited to the site of injury. While injury and inflammation are critical to tissue remodeling, the inability to resolve this response can lead to the destructive complications of chronic inflammation. In the pancreas, acinar cells of the exocrine compartment respond to injury by transiently adopting characteristics of progenitor cells present during embryonic development. This process of de-differentiation creates a window where a mature and stable cell gains flexibility and is potentially permissive to changes in cellular fate. How de-differentiation can turn an acinar cell into another cell type (such as a pancreatic β-cell), or a cell with cancerous potential (as in cases of deregulated Kras activity) is of interest to both the regenerative medicine and cancer communities. While it is known that inflammation and acinar de-differentiation increase following pancreatic injury, it remains unclear which immune cells are involved in this process. We used a combination of genetically modified mice, immunological blockade and cellular characterization to identify the immune cells that impact pancreatic regeneration in an in vivo model of pancreatitis. We identified the innate inflammatory response of macrophages and neutrophils as regulators of pancreatic regeneration. Under normal conditions, mild innate inflammation prompts a transient de-differentiation of acinar cells that readily dissipates to allow normal regeneration. However, non-resolving inflammation developed when elevated pancreatic levels of neutrophils producing interferon-γ increased iNOS levels and the pro-inflammatory response of macrophages. Pancreatic injury improved following in vivo macrophage depletion, iNOS inhibition as well as suppression of iNOS levels in macrophages via interferon-γ blockade, supporting the impairment in regeneration and the development of chronic inflammation arises from aberrant activation of the innate inflammatory response. Collectively these studies identify targetable inflammatory factors that can be used to influence the development of non-resolving inflammation and pancreatic regeneration following injury. 相似文献

Inflammation is an essential response provided by the immune systems that ensures the survival during infection and tissue
injury. Inflammatory responses are essential for the maintenance of normal tissue homeostasis. The molecular mechanism of
inflammation is quite a complicated process which is initiated by the recognition of specific molecular patterns associated
with either infection or tissue injury. The entire process of the inflammatory response is mediated by several key regulators
involved in the selective expression of proinflammatory molecules. Prolonged inflammations are often associated with severe
detrimental side effects on health. Alterations in inflammatory responses due to persistent inducers or genetic variations
are on the rise over the last couple of decades, causing a variety of inflammatory diseases and pathophysiological conditions. 相似文献

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a major microbial mediator for tissue injury and sepsis resulting from Gram‐negative bacterial infection. LPS is an external factor that induces robust expression of serum amyloid A (SAA), a major constituent of the acute‐phase proteins, but the relationship between SAA expression and LPS‐induced tissue injury remains unclear. Here, we report that mice with inducible transgenic expression of human SAA1 are partially protected against inflammatory response and lung injury caused by LPS and cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). In comparison, transgenic SAA1 does not attenuate TNFα‐induced lung inflammation and injury. The SAA1 expression level correlates inversely with the endotoxin concentrations in serum and lung tissues since SAA1 binds directly to LPS to form a complex that promotes LPS uptake by macrophages. Disruption of the SAA1‐LPS interaction with a SAA1‐derived peptide partially reduces the protective effect and exacerbates inflammation. These findings demonstrate that acute‐phase SAA provides innate feedback protection against LPS‐induced inflammation and tissue injury. 相似文献

In response to cell injury, caused, for example, by trauma, several processes must be initiated simultaneously to achieve an acute inflammatory response designed to prevent sustained tissue damage and infection and to restore and maintain tissue homeostasis. Detecting cell injury is facilitated by the fact that damaged cells release intracellular molecules not normally present in the extracellular space. However, potential underlying mechanisms for the recognition of endogenous danger signals released upon cell injury have yet to be elucidated. In this study, we demonstrate that mast cells, potent promoters of acute inflammation, play a key role in responding to cell injury by recognizing IL-33 released from necrotic structural cells. In an in vitro model of cell injury, this recognition was shown to involve the T1/ST2 receptor and result in the secretion of proinflammatory leukotrienes and cytokines by mouse mast cells. Remarkably, of all of the components released upon necrosis, our results show that IL-33 alone is a key component responsible for initiating proinflammatory responses in mast cells reacting to cell injury. Our findings identify IL-33 as a key danger signal released by necrotic structural cells capable of activating mast cells, thus providing novel insights concerning the role of mast cells as sensors of cell injury. 相似文献

Apoptosis is a mode of cell death currently thought to occur in the absence of inflammation. In contrast, inflammation follows unscheduled events such as acute tissue injury which results in necrosis, not apoptosis. We examined the relevance of this paradigm in three distinct models of acute lung injury; hyperoxia, oleic acid, and bacterial pneumonia. In every case, it was found that apoptosis is actually a prominent component of the acute and inflammatory phase of injury. Moreover, using strains of mice that are differentially sensitive to hyperoxic lung injury we observed that the percent of apoptotic cells was well correlated with the severity of lung injury. These observations suggest that apoptosis may be one of the biological consequences during acute injury and the failure to remove these apoptotic cells may also contribute to the inflammatory response. 相似文献

Heparanase is the only known mammalian endoglycosidase capable of degrading heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycan, both in extracellular space and within the cells. It is tightly implicated in cancer progression and over the past few decades significant progress has been made in elucidating the multiple functions of heparanase in malignant tumor development, neovascularization and aggressive behavior. Notably, current data show that in addition to its well characterized role in cancer, heparanase activity may represent an important determinant in the pathogenesis of several inflammatory disorders, such as inflammatory lung injury, rheumatoid arthritis and chronic colitis. Nevertheless, the precise mode of heparanase action in inflammatory reactions remains largely unclear and recent observations suggest that heparanase can either facilitate or limit inflammatory responses, when tissue/cell-specific contextual cues may dictate an outcome of heparanase action in inflammation. In this review the involvement of heparanase in modulation of inflammatory reactions is discussed through a few illustrative examples, including neuroinflammation, sepsis-associated lung injury and inflammatory bowel disease. We also discuss possible action of the enzyme in coupling inflammation and tumorigenesis in the setting of inflammation-triggered cancer. 相似文献

During a severe local or systemic inflammatory response, immune mediators target lung tissue. This process may lead to acute lung injury and impaired diffusion of gas molecules. Although several mathematical models of gas exchange have been described, none simulate acute lung injury following inflammatory stress. In view of recent laboratory and clinical progress in the understanding of the pathophysiology of acute lung injury, such a mathematical model would be useful. We first derived a partial differential equations model of gas exchange on a small physiological unit of the lung (≈25 alveoli), which we refer to as a respiratory unit (RU). We next developed a simple model of the acute inflammatory response and implemented its effects within a RU, creating a single RU model. Linking multiple RUs with various ventilation/perfusion ratios and taking into account pulmonary venous blood remixing yielded our lung-scale model. Using the lung-scale model, we explored the predicted effects of inflammation on ventilation/perfusion distribution and the resulting pulmonary venous partial pressure oxygen level during systemic inflammatory stresses. This model represents a first step towards the development of anatomically faithful models of gas exchange and ventilation under a broad range of local and systemic inflammatory stimuli resulting in acute lung injury, such as infection and mechanical strain of lung tissue. 相似文献

Extensive soft tissue injury and bone fracture are significant contributors to the initial systemic inflammatory response in multiply injured patients. Systemic inflammation can lead to organ dysfunction remote from the site of traumatic injury. The mechanisms underlying the recognition of peripheral injury and the subsequent activation of the immune response are unknown. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) recognize microbial products but also may recognize danger signals released from damaged tissues. Here we report that peripheral tissue trauma initiates systemic inflammation and remote organ dysfunction. Moreover, this systemic response to a sterile local injury requires toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). Compared with wild-type (C3H/HeOuJ) mice, TLR4 mutant (C3H/HeJ) mice demonstrated reduced systemic and hepatic inflammatory responses to bilateral femur fracture. Trauma-induced nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB activation in the liver required functional TLR4 signaling. CD14-/- mice failed to demonstrate protection from fracture-induced systemic inflammation and hepatocellular injury. Therefore, our results also argue against a contribution of intestine-derived LPS to this process. These findings identify a critical role for TLR4 in the rapid recognition and response pathway to severe traumatic injury. Application of these findings in an evolutionary context suggests that multicellular organisms have evolved to use the same pattern recognition receptor for surviving traumatic and infectious challenges. 相似文献

Lung injury is marked by a persistent self-propagating inflammation within the pulmonary tissue that is initiated by the migration of leukocytes into the alveolar space. Recent work has demonstrated that neuronal guidance proteins are involved into the orchestration of leukocyte migration. Neogenin is a crucial guidance receptor for axonal migration, yet its role during leukocyte migration and acute inflammation is to date unknown. Here, we report that neogenin influences neutrophil migration across endothelial HMEC-1 and alveolar A549 monolayers in vitro. In vivo, Neo1(-/-) mice demonstrated 59% reduced cell count, 41% reduced TNF-α, and 76% reduced IL-6 levels within the alveolar space during lung injury. In studies employing chimeric animals, the presence of Neo1(-/-) bone marrow was associated with a 42% reduction of cell count and reduced inflammatory changes within pulmonary tissue during lung injury. The functional inhibition of neogenin through antibody injection confirmed these results and the role of neogenin for the inflammatory changes within the alveolar space. Previously unappreciated, the guidance receptor neogenin has a significant effect on the orchestration of leukocyte migration and the control of acute inflammation. 相似文献

Following tissue injury, a complex and coordinated wound healing response comprising coagulation, inflammation, fibroproliferation and tissue remodelling has evolved to nullify the impact of the original insult and reinstate the normal physiological function of the affected organ. Tissue fibrosis is thought to result from a dysregulated wound healing response as a result of continual local injury or impaired control mechanisms. Although the initial insult is highly variable for different organs, in most cases, uncontrolled or sustained activation of mesenchymal cells into highly synthetic myofibroblasts leads to the excessive deposition of extracellular matrix proteins and eventually loss of tissue function. Coagulation was originally thought to be an acute and transient response to tissue injury, responsible primarily for promoting haemostasis by initiating the formation of fibrin plugs to enmesh activated platelets within the walls of damaged blood vessels. However, the last 20 years has seen a major re-evaluation of the role of the coagulation cascade following tissue injury and there is now mounting evidence that coagulation plays a critical role in orchestrating subsequent inflammatory and fibroproliferative responses during normal wound healing, as well as in a range of pathological contexts across all major organ systems. This review summarises our current understanding of the role of coagulation and coagulation initiated signalling in the response to tissue injury, as well as the contribution of uncontrolled coagulation to fibrosis of the lung, liver, kidney and heart.

Cisplatin is one of the most potent chemotherapy agents. However, its use is limited due to its toxicity in normal tissues, including the kidney and ear. In particular, nephrotoxicity induced by cisplatin is closely associated with oxidative stress and inflammation. Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), the rate-limiting enzyme in the heme metabolism, has been implicated in a various cellular processes, such as inflammatory injury and anti-oxidant/oxidant homeostasis. Capsaicin is reported to have therapeutic potential in cisplatin-induced renal failures. However, the mechanisms underlying its protective effects on cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity remain largely unknown. Herein, we demonstrated that administration of capsaicin ameliorates cisplatin-induced renal dysfunction by assessing the levels of serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) as well as tissue histology. In addition, capsaicin treatment attenuates the expression of inflammatory mediators and oxidative stress markers for renal damage. We also found that capsaicin induces HO-1 expression in kidney tissues and HK-2 cells. Notably, the protective effects of capsaicin were completely abrogated by treatment with either the HO inhibitor ZnPP IX or HO-1 knockdown in HK-2 cells. These results suggest that capsaicin has protective effects against cisplatin-induced renal dysfunction through induction of HO-1 as well as inhibition oxidative stress and inflammation. 相似文献

Modulation of heme oxygenase in tissue injury and its implication in protection against gastrointestinal diseases. 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Heme oxygenase (HO) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the catabolism of heme, followed by production of biliverdin, free iron and carbon monoxide (CO). There are three isoforms of HO: HO-1 is highly inducible, whereas HO-2 and HO-3 are constitutively expressed. In addition to heme, a variety of nonheme compounds, including heavy metals, cytokines, endotoxins and heat shock stress are strong inducers of HO-1 expression. Many studies indicated that induction of HO-1 is associated with a protective response due to the removal of free heme, which is shown to be toxic. However, recent studies demonstrated that the expression of HO-1 in response to different inflammatory mediators could contribute in part to the resolution of inflammation and have protective effects on brain, liver, kidney and lung against injuries. These beneficial effects seem to be due to the production of bile pigment biliverdin and bilirubin that is a potent antioxidant, as well as the release of iron and CO. However, there are few studies concerning the relationship between HO-1 and inflammation as well as injury in the gut. Interestingly, a preliminary study implicated that induction of HO-1 expression in a colonic damage model induced by trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid played a critical protective role, indicating that activation of HO-1 could act as a natural defensive mechanism to alleviate inflammation and tissue injury in the gastrointestinal tract. 相似文献

To fulfill its function, the immune system must detect and interpret a wide variety of signals and adjust the magnitude, duration, and specific traits of each response during the complex host-parasite relationships in parasitic infections. Inflammation must be tightly regulated since uncontrolled inflammation may be as destructive as the triggering stimulus and leads to immune-mediated tissue injury. During recent years, increasing evidence points to regulatory T cells (Tregs) as key anti-inflammatory cells, critically involved in limiting the inflammatory response. Herein, we review the published information on the induction of Tregs and summarize the most recent findings on Treg generation in parasitic diseases. 相似文献

Adenoviral augmentation of elafin protects the lung against acute injury mediated by activated neutrophils and bacterial infection 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

During acute pulmonary infection, tissue injury may be secondary to the effects of bacterial products or to the effects of the host inflammatory response. An attractive strategy for tissue protection in this setting would combine antimicrobial activity with inhibition of human neutrophil elastase (HNE), a key effector of neutrophil-mediated tissue injury. We postulated that genetic augmentation of elafin (an endogenous inhibitor of HNE with intrinsic antimicrobial activity) could protect the lung against acute inflammatory injury without detriment to host defense. A replication-deficient adenovirus encoding elafin cDNA significantly protected A549 cells against the injurious effects of both HNE and whole activated human neutrophils in vitro. Intratracheal replication-deficient adenovirus encoding elafin cDNA significantly protected murine lungs against injury mediated by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in vivo. Genetic augmentation of elafin therefore has the capacity to protect the lung against the injurious effects of both bacterial pathogens resistant to conventional antibiotics and activated neutrophils. 相似文献
