Upregulation of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 Protects against Sepsis-Induced Acute Lung Injury via Promoting the Release of Soluble Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products.

ABSTRACT: Dysregulation of matrix metalloproteinase- (MMP-) 9 is implicated in the pathogenesis of acute lung injury (ALI). However, it remains controversial whether MMP-9 improves or deteriorates acute lung injury of different etiologies. The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of acute lung injury. MMPs are known to mediate RAGE shedding and release of soluble RAGE (sRAGE), which can act as a decoy receptor by competitively inhibiting the binding of RAGE ligands to RAGE. Therefore, this study is aimed at clarifying whether and how pulmonary knockdown of MMP-9 affected sepsis-induced acute lung injury as well as the release of sRAGE in a murine cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) model. The analysis of GEO mouse sepsis datasets GSE15379, GSE52474, and GSE60088 revealed that the mRNA expression of MMP-9 was significantly upregulated in septic mouse lung tissues. Elevation of pulmonary MMP-9 mRNA and protein expressions was confirmed in CLP-induced mouse sepsis model. Intratracheal injection of MMP-9 siRNA resulted in an approximately 60% decrease in pulmonary MMP-9 expression. It was found that pulmonary knockdown of MMP-9 significantly increased mortality of sepsis and exacerbated sepsis-associated acute lung injury. Pulmonary MMP-9 knockdown also decreased sRAGE release and enhanced sepsis-induced activation of the RAGE/nuclear factor-?B (NF-?B) signaling pathway, meanwhile aggravating sepsis-induced oxidative stress and inflammation in lung tissues. In addition, administration of recombinant sRAGE protein suppressed the activation of the RAGE/NF-?B signaling pathway and ameliorated pulmonary oxidative stress, inflammation, and lung injury in CLP-induced septic mice. In conclusion, our data indicate that MMP-9-mediated RAGE shedding limits the severity of sepsis-associated pulmonary edema, inflammation, oxidative stress, and lung injury by suppressing the RAGE/NF-?B signaling pathway via the decoy receptor activities of sRAGE. MMP-9-mediated sRAGE production may serve as a self-limiting mechanism to control and resolve excessive inflammation and oxidative stress in the lung during sepsis.

Project description:BackgroundSoluble receptor for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE) is a proposed emphysema and airflow obstruction biomarker; however, previous publications have shown inconsistent associations and only one study has investigate the association between sRAGE and emphysema. No cohorts have examined the association between sRAGE and progressive decline of lung function. There have also been no evaluation of assay compatibility, receiver operating characteristics, and little examination of the effect of genetic variability in non-white population. This manuscript addresses these deficiencies and introduces novel data from Pittsburgh COPD SCCOR and as well as novel work on airflow obstruction. A meta-analysis is used to quantify sRAGE associations with clinical phenotypes.MethodssRAGE was measured in four independent longitudinal cohorts on different analytic assays: COPDGene (n = 1443); SPIROMICS (n = 1623); ECLIPSE (n = 2349); Pittsburgh COPD SCCOR (n = 399). We constructed adjusted linear mixed models to determine associations of sRAGE with baseline and follow up forced expiratory volume at one second (FEV1) and emphysema by quantitative high-resolution CT lung density at the 15th percentile (adjusted for total lung capacity).ResultsLower plasma or serum sRAGE values were associated with a COPD diagnosis (P < 0.001), reduced FEV1 (P < 0.001), and emphysema severity (P < 0.001). In an inverse-variance weighted meta-analysis, one SD lower log10-transformed sRAGE was associated with 105 ± 22 mL lower FEV1 and 4.14 ± 0.55 g/L lower adjusted lung density. After adjusting for covariates, lower sRAGE at baseline was associated with greater FEV1 decline and emphysema progression only in the ECLIPSE cohort. Non-Hispanic white subjects carrying the rs2070600 minor allele (A) and non-Hispanic African Americans carrying the rs2071288 minor allele (A) had lower sRAGE measurements compare to those with the major allele, but their emphysema-sRAGE regression slopes were similar.ConclusionsLower blood sRAGE is associated with more severe airflow obstruction and emphysema, but associations with progression are inconsistent in the cohorts analyzed. In these cohorts, genotype influenced sRAGE measurements and strengthened variance modelling. Thus, genotype should be included in sRAGE evaluations.
