GADD34 suppresses lipopolysaccharide-induced sepsis and tissue injury through the regulation of macrophage activation.

ABSTRACT: Growth arrest and DNA damage inducible protein 34 (GADD34) is induced by various cellular stresses, such as DNA damage, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and amino-acid deprivation. Although the major roles of GADD34 are regulating ER stress responses and apoptosis, a recent study suggested that GADD34 is linked to innate immune responses. In this report, we investigated the roles of GADD34 in inflammatory responses against bacterial infection. To explore the effects of GADD34 on systemic inflammation in vivo, we employed a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced murine sepsis model and assessed the lethality, serum cytokine levels, and tissue injury in the presence or absence of GADD34. We found that GADD34 deficiency increased the lethality and serum cytokine levels in LPS-induced sepsis. Moreover, GADD34 deficiency enhanced tissue destruction, cell death, and pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in LPS-induced acute liver injury. Pro-inflammatory cytokine production after LPS stimulation is regulated by the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-mediated NF-?B signaling pathway. In vitro experiments revealed that GADD34 suppressed pro-inflammatory cytokine production by macrophages through dephosphorylation of IKK?. In conclusion, GADD34 attenuates LPS-induced sepsis and acute tissue injury through suppressing macrophage activation. Targeting this anti-inflammatory role of GADD34 may be a promising area for the development of therapeutic agents to regulate inflammatory disorders.

Project description:BackgroundSepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI) leads to severe hypoxemia and respiratory failure, contributing to poor prognosis in septic patients. Endotoxin dissemination triggers oxidative stress and the release of inflammatory cytokines in macrophages, initiating diffuse alveolar damage. The role of epigenetic histone modifications in organ injury is increasingly recognized. The present study aimed to investigate the use of a histone modification inhibitor to alleviate sepsis-induced ALI, revealing a new strategy for improving sepsis patient survival.MethodsIn vivo models of ALI were established through the intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide and cecal ligation and puncture surgery. Furthermore, the disease process was simulated in vitro by stimulating Tamm-Horsfall protein-1 (THP-1) cells with lipopolysaccharide. Hematoxylin and eosin staining, blood gas analysis and pulmonary function tests were utilized to assess the extent of lung tissue damage. Western blot analysis, real-time polymerase chain reaction, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunofluorescence were used to measure the levels and distribution of the indicated indicators within cells and tissues. Reactive oxygen species and autophagic flux alterations were detected using specific probes.ResultsBRD3308, which is a inhibitor of histone deacetylase 3, improved lung tissue damage, inflammatory infiltration and edema in ALI by inhibiting Nod-like receptor protein3-mediated pyroptosis in macrophages. By upregulating autophagy, BRD3308 improved the disruption of redox balance in macrophages and reduced the accumulation of reactive oxygen species. Mechanistically, BRD3308 inhibited histone deacetylase 3 activity by binding to it and altering its conformation. Following histone deacetylase 3 inhibition, acetylation of H3K27 was significantly increased. Moreover, the increase in H3K27Ac led to the upregulation of autophagy-related gene 5, a key component of autophagosomes, thereby activating autophagy.ConclusionsBRD3308 inhibits oxidative stress and pyroptosis in macrophages by modulating histone acetylation, thereby preventing sepsis-induced ALI. The present study provides a potential strategy and theoretical basis for the clinical treatment of sepsis-induced ALI.
