MicroRNA-410-3p Binds to TLR2 and Alleviates Myocardial Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Chemokine Production in LPS-Induced Sepsis.

ABSTRACT: Mitochondrial dysfunction and chemokine production have been reported to be involved in the pathogenesis of sepsis. Our initial bioinformatics analysis identified differentially expressed TLR2 in sepsis and the upstream regulatory microRNA-410-3p (miR-410-3p). Hence, the current study was performed to characterize the potential mechanism by which miR-410-3p modulates mitochondrial dysfunction and chemokine production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced mice in vivo and cardiomyocytes in vitro. Next, we identified that miR-410-3p was downregulated, while TLR2 was upregulated in LPS-induced mice and cardiomyocytes. In addition, miR-410-3p was confirmed to target and inhibit the TLR2 expression. Thereafter, gain- or loss-of-function experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of miR-410-3p and TLR2 on mitochondrial function and chemokine production. TLR2 knockdown or miR-410-3p overexpression was found to alleviate mitochondrial membrane damage and mitochondrial swelling, in addition to augmenting the levels of adenosine triphosphate, mitochondrial membrane potential, and the expression levels of CCL7, CCL5, CXCL1, and CXCL9 in vivo and in vitro. In conclusion, miR-410-3p-mediated TLR2 inhibition alleviated mitochondrial dysfunction and reduced chemokine production in LPS-induced experimental sepsis. Therefore, the overexpression of miR-410-3p may represent a potential strategy for the treatment of sepsis-induced myocardial injury.

Project description:IntroductionSevere sepsis is characterised by intravascular or extravascular infection with microbial agents, systemic inflammation and microcirculatory dysfunction, leading to tissue damage, organ failure and death. The growth factor angiopoietin (Ang-1) has therapeutic potential but recombinant Ang-1 tends to aggregate and has a short half-life in vivo. This study aimed to investigate the acute effects of the more stable Ang-1 variant matrilin-1-angiopoietin-1 (MAT.Ang-1) on the function of the microcirculation in an experimental model of sepsis, and whether any protection by MAT-Ang-1 was associated with modulation of inflammatory cytokines, angiogenic factors or the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS)-Akt and vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin pathways.MethodsAluminium window chambers were implanted into the dorsal skinfold of male C3H/HeN mice (7 to 10 weeks old) to expose the striated muscle microcirculation. Endotoxemia was induced by intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 1 mg/kg at 0 and 19 hours). MAT.Ang-1 was administered intravenously 20 hours after the onset of sepsis. Microcirculatory function was evaluated by intravital microscopy and Doppler fluximetry.ResultsEndotoxemia resulted in macromolecular leak, which was ameliorated by MAT.Ang-1 post-treatment. LPS induced a dramatic reduction in tissue perfusion, which was improved by MAT.Ang-1. Proteome profiler array analysis of skeletal muscle also demonstrated increased inflammatory and reduced angiogenic factors during endotoxemia. MAT.Ang-1 post-treatment reduced the level of IL-1β but did not significantly induce the expression of angiogenic factors. MAT.Ang-1 alone did not induce leak or increase angiogenic factors but did reduce vascular endothelial growth factor expression in controls.ConclusionAdministration of MAT.Ang-1 after the onset of sepsis protects the microcirculation from endotoxemia-induced vascular dysfunction through reducing inflammation but without pro-angiogenic actions, thus representing a novel, potential pharmacotherapeutic agent for the treatment of sepsis.
