Annexin A5 increases survival in murine sepsis model by inhibiting HMGB1-mediated pro-inflammation and coagulation.

ABSTRACT: The identification of HMGB1 as a late-mediator in sepsis has highlighted HMGB1 as a promising therapeutic target for sepsis treatment. Recent studies have revealed that annexin A5, a 35 kDa Ca²⁺-dependent phospholipid binding protein, exerts anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting LPS binding to TLR4/MD2 complex. Annexin A5 administration has been shown to protect against endotoxin lethality even when the treatment was given after the early cytokine response, which prompted our group to suspect that annexin A5 may inhibit the binding of HMGB1, as well as endotoxin to TLR4. Here we suggest annexin A5 as a new inhibitor of HMGB1-mediated pro-inflammatory cytokine production and coagulation in sepsis. We first confirmed the inhibitory role of annexin A5 in LPS-induced production of pro-inflammatory cytokines both in vitro and in vivo. We observed that annexin A5 protects against tissue damage and organ dysfunction during endotoxemia in vivo. We then assessed the inhibiting role of annexin A5 in HMGB1/TLR4 interaction, and showed that annexin A5 treatment reduces HMGB1-mediated cytokines IL6 and TNF? both in vitro and in vivo. Finally, we confirmed that anticoagulant property of annexin A5 persists in various septic conditions including elevated HMGB1. Overall, we suggest annexin A5 as an alternative therapeutic approach for controlling HMGB1-mediated pro-inflammation and coagulation in patients with sepsis.

Project description:Annexin A5 (ANXA5), which is known as a protein with anticoagulative function, may play a role in triglyceride biosynthesis. Triglycerides are involved in lipid and energy metabolism, which are important in the elucidation of obesity. To investigate the association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of ANXA5 and obesity in a Korean population, 372 participants (213 overweight/obese individuals and 159 control subjects) were enrolled from the Kyung Hee University Medical Center and Keimyung University Dongsan Medical Center. The genotypes of five SNPs (rs12510548, rs4240260, rs3756281, rs13136094 and rs6534313) were evaluated in ANXA5 using the multiple logistic regression analysis with the codominant 1, codominant 2, dominant, recessive and log-additive models. The genotype and allele frequencies of the five investigated SNPs exhibited significant differences between the control and the overweight/obese groups: rs12510548 (P=0.004 in the codominant 2 model, P=0.0019 in the recessive model, P=0.027 in the log-additive model and P=0.026 in allele frequencies); rs4240260 (P=0.002 and Fisher's exact P=0.0006 in the codominant 2 model, P=0.0007 and Fisher's exact P=0.0007 in the recessive model, P=0.020 and Fisher's exact P=0.0019 in the log-additive model and P=0.020 in allele frequencies); rs3756281 (P=0.016 in the codominant 2 model and P=0.0094 in the recessive model); rs13136094 (P=0.0030 and Fisher's exact P=0.0011 in the codominant 2 model, P=0.0012 and Fisher's exact P=0.0013 in the recessive model, P=0.034 and Fisher's exact P=0.0035 in the log-additive model and P=0.024 in allele frequencies); and rs6534313 (P=0.0010 and Fisher's exact P=0.0003 in the codominant 2 model, P=0.0003 and Fisher's exact P=0.0003 in the recessive model, P=0.0075 and Fisher's exact P=0.0010 in the log-additive model and P=0.005 in allele frequencies). Two haplotypes were weakly associated with obesity (GGATG, P=0.037 and CAGCC, P=0.020). Results of the present study suggested that ANXA5 may be associated with the development of obesity in a Korean population.

Project description:# Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) in sepsis patients increases patient mortality. Endothelial cells are important players in the pathophysiology of sepsis-associated AKI (SA-AKI), yet knowledge regarding their spatiotemporal involvement in coagulation disbalance and leukocyte recruitment is lacking. This study investigated the identity and kinetics of responses of different microvascular compartments in kidney cortex in response to SA-AKI. # Methods Laser microdissected arterioles, glomeruli, peritubular capillaries, and postcapillary venules from kidneys of mice subjected to cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) were analyzed using RNA sequencing. Differential expression and pathway enrichment analyses identified genes involved in coagulation and inflammation. A selection of these genes was evaluated by RT-qPCR in microvascular compartments of renal biopsies from patients with SA-AKI. The role of two identified genes in lipopolysaccharide-induced endothelial coagulation and inflammatory activation were determined in vitro in HUVEC using siRNA-based gene silencing. # Results CLP-sepsis in mice induced altered expression of approximately 400 genes in the renal microvasculature, with microvascular compartments exhibiting unique spatiotemporal responses. In mice, changes in gene expression related to coagulation and inflammation were most extensive in glomeruli at early and intermediate time points, with high induction of Plat, Serpine1, Thbd, Icam1, Stat3, and Ifitm3. In human SA-AKI, PROCR and STAT3 were induced in postcapillary venules, while SERPINE1 expression was diminished. IFITM3 was increased in arterioles and glomeruli. In vitro studies revealed that STAT3 and IFITM3 partly control endothelial coagulation and inflammatory activation. # Conclusion Renal microvascular compartments in mice and humans exhibited heterogeneous changes in coagulation- and inflammation-related gene expression in response to SA-AKI. Additional research should aim at understanding the functional consequences of the here described heterogeneous microvascular responses to establish the usefulness of identified genes as therapeutic targets in SA-AKI.
