The Anti-Inflammatory Effect of Carrageenan/Echinochrom Complex at Experimental Endotoxemia.

ABSTRACT: The anti-inflammatory effects of the CRG/Ech complex in LPS-induced endotoxemia were investigated in vivo in mice and in vitro in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells and peritoneal macrophages. The results indicated that the CRG/Ech complex suppressed the LPS-induced inflammatory response by reducing the production of ROS and NO in the macrophages. Furthermore, the in vivo experiment indicated that the CRG/Ech complex minimized disorders of the physiological and metabolic processes in mice subjected to LPS intoxication and reduced the levels of proinflammatory cytokines in the mouse serum. The preventive administration of the CRG/Ech complex to mice prevented endotoxin-induced damage in the mouse model of endotoxemia, increased the mice's resistance to LPS, and prevented increases in the levels of proinflammatory cytokines (TNFα). In this work, we showed by the molecular docking that Ech interacted with carrageenan, and that H-donor and H-acceptor bonds are involved in the formation of the complex.

Project description:Endotoxemia remains a major cause of mortality in the intensive care unit, but the therapeutic strategy is still lacking. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) was reported with a tissue-oriented differentiation ability and an excellent immunoregulatory capacity. However, the immunity signaling pathways that govern MSC modulation effect are not completely understood. In our current study, MSCs (2.5 × 105 /ml) were obtained and stimulated with IFN-γ (20 ng/ml) for 72 h. Gal-9 expression on MSCs was measured by ELISA, RT-PCR, flow cytometry, and immunofluorescence, respectively. Experimental endotoxemia was induced by LPS injection (10 mg/kg, i. p.) followed by the treatment with Gal-9 high-expressing MSCs, unmodified MSCs, and Gal-9 blocking MSCs. Therapeutic effects of MSCs were assessed by monitoring murine sepsis score, survival rate, splenocyte proportion rate, inflammatory mediator levels, and pathological manifestations. The results showed that Gal-9 expressed in MSCs, and this expression was increased in a dose-dependent manner after pre-stimulating with IFN-γ. Adoptive transfer of Gal-9 high-expressing MSCs into modeling mice significantly alleviated endotoxemia symptoms and multi-organ pathological damages. Splenocyte analysis indicated that Gal-9 high-expressing MSCs could promote macrophage polarization to M2-subtype and boost Treg generation. Moreover, there were also attenuated pro-inflammatory mediator expressions (TNF-α, IL-1β, IFN-γ, and iNOS), and increased anti-inflammatory mediator expressions (T-SOD and IL-35) in the sera and damaged organ homogenates. Additionally, we found a higher expression of Gal-9 in liver, lung, and kidney homogenate. Taken together, this study reveals that the optimized immunoregulatory effect of MSCs is strongly correlated with Gal-9 high expression, which provides a novel idea for the investigation of MSC immunomodulatory mechanisms and offers a potential strategy for the treatment of endotoxemia in clinical settings.

Project description:BackgroundThe chemokine receptor CXCR4 is a multifunctional receptor which is activated by its natural ligand C-X-C motif chemokine 12 (CXCL12). As CXCR4 is part of the lipopolysaccharide sensing complex and CXCL12 analogs are not well characterized in inflammation, we aimed to uncover the systemic effects of a CXCL12 analog in severe systemic inflammation and to evaluate its impact on endotoxin induced organ damages by using a sublethal LPS dose.MethodsThe plasma stable CXCL12 analog CTCE-0214D was synthesized and administered subcutaneously shortly before LPS treatment. After 24 hours, mice were sacrificed and blood was obtained for TNF alpha, IFN gamma and blood glucose evaluation. Oxidative stress in the liver and spleen was assessed and liver biotransformation capacity was determined. Finally, CXCR4, CXCL12 and TLR4 expression patterns in liver, spleen and thymus tissue as well as the presence of different markers for apoptosis and oxidative stress were determined by means of immunohistochemistry.ResultsCTCE-0214D distinctly reduced the LPS mediated effects on TNF alpha, IFN gamma, ALAT and blood glucose levels. It attenuated oxidative stress in the liver and spleen tissue and enhanced liver biotransformation capacity unambiguously. Furthermore, in all three organs investigated, CTCE-0214D diminished the LPS induced expression of CXCR4, CXCL12, TLR4, NF-κB, cleaved caspase-3 and gp91 phox, whereas heme oxygenase 1 expression and activity was induced above average. Additionally, TUNEL staining revealed anti-apoptotic effects of CTCE-0214D.ConclusionsIn summary, CTCE-0214D displayed anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative and cytoprotective features. It attenuated reactive oxygen species, induced heme oxygenase 1 activity and mitigated apoptosis. Thus, the CXCR4/CXCL12 axis seems to be a promising target in the treatment of acute systemic inflammation, especially when accompanied by a hepatic dysfunction and an excessive production of free radicals.
