Project description:Intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a severe clinical condition without optimal diagnostic markers nor clear molecular etiological insights. Plasma exosomal circular RNAs (circRNAs) are valuable biomarkers and therapeutic targets for various diseases, but their role in intestinal I/R injury remains unknown. Here we screen the expression profile of circRNAs in intestinal tissue exosomes collected from intestinal I/R mice and identify circEZH2_005 as a significantly downregulated exosomal circRNA. In parallel, circEZH2_005 is also reduced in the plasma of clinical cardiac surgery patients who developed postoperative intestinal I/R injury. Exosomal circEZH2_005 displays a significant diagnostic value for intestinal injury induced by I/R. Mechanistically, circEZH2_005 is highly expressed in intestinal crypt cells. CircEZH2_005 upregulation promotes the proliferation of Lgr5+ stem cells by direct interaction with hnRNPA1, and enhanced Gprc5a stability, thereby alleviating I/R-induced intestinal mucosal damage. Hence, exosomal circEZH2_005 may serve as a biomarker for intestinal I/R injury and targeting the circEZH2_005/hnRNPA1/Gprc5a axis may be a potential therapeutic strategy for intestinal I/R injury.

Project description:Mesenteric ischemia/reperfusion is a clinical emergency with high morbidity and mortality due to the transient reduction of blood supply to the bowel. In recent years, the critical contribution of gut microbiome to human health and proper gastrointestinal functions has gradually emerged. In the current study, we investigated the protective effects of five days supplementation with Bifidobacterium bifidum PRL2010 in a murine model of gut ischemia/reperfusion. Our findings indicate that animals pretreated with B. bifidum PRL2010 showed lower neutrophil recruitment in the lungs, remarkably reduced bacterial translocation and decreased transcription levels of TNFalpha and IL-10 both in liver and kidneys, at the same time increasing those of IL-12 in kidneys. Inhibiting the adhesion of pathogenic bacteria and boosting host innate immunity responses are among the possible protective mechanisms enacted by the probiotic. These results demonstrate that short-period treatment with B. bifidum PRL2010 is a potential strategy to dampen remote organ injury due to mesenteric ischemia/reperfusion.

Project description:BackgroundIntestinal transplantation (IT) has become an important procedure for the treatment of irreversible intestinal failure. However, IT is extremely vulnerable to ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Due to the limitations of static cold storage (SCS), hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) is rapidly gaining popularity. In this study, the intestinal HMP system is established and HMP is compared with SCS.MethodsAn intestinal HMP system was built. Ten miniature pigs were randomly divided into the HMP and SCS groups, and their intestines were perfused using the HMP device and SCS, respectively, followed by orthotopic auto-transplantation. Analysis was done on the grafts between the two groups.ResultsOperation success rates of the surgery were 100% in both groups. The 7-day survival rate was 100% in the HMP group, which was significantly higher than that of the SCS group (20%, P< 0.05). The pathological results showed that fewer injuries of grafts were in the HMP group. Endotoxin (ET), IL-1, IL-6, IFN-γ and TNF-α levels in the HMP group were significantly lower than in the SCS group (P<0.05), whereas IL-10 levels were significantly higher (P<0.05).The intestinal expression levels of ZO-1 and Occludin were higher in the HMP group compared to the SCS group, whereas Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB), and caspase-3 were lower.ConclusionsIn this study, we established a stable intestinal HMP system and demonstrated that HMP could significantly alleviate intestinal IRI and improve the outcome after IT.

Project description:Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a common clinical entity, and its outcome is unpredictable due to the triad of inflammation, increased permeability and bacterial translocation. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a polyether compound that is extensively used in pharmacology as an excipient in various products. More recently, this class of products have shown to have potent anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, immunosuppressive and cell-membrane-stabilizing properties. However, its effects on the outcome after intestinal IRI have not yet been investigated. We hypothesized that PEG administration would reduce the effects of intestinal IRI in rodents. In a previously described rat model of severe IRI (45 min of ischemia followed by 60 min of reperfusion), we evaluated the effect of IV PEG administration at different doses (50 and 100 mg/kg) before and after the onset of ischemia. In comparison to control animals, PEG administration stabilized the endothelial glycocalyx, leading to reduced reperfusion edema, bacterial translocation and inflammatory reaction as well as improved 7-day survival. These effects were seen both in a pretreatment and in a treatment setting. The fact that this product is readily available and safe should encourage further clinical investigations in settings of intestinal IRI, organ preservation and transplantation.

Project description:ObjectiveMyocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury can aggravate myocardial injury. Programmed necrosis plays a crucial role in this injury. However, the role of exosomal miRNAs in myocardial I/R injury remains unclear. Therefore, this study is aimed at exploring the function and mechanism of exosomal miR-17-3p in myocardial I/R injury.MethodsThe myocardial I/R injury animal model was established in C57BL/6 mice. Exosomes were identified using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), and Western blotting. Programmed necrosis was detected by PI staining. Heart function and myocardial infarct size were evaluated using echocardiography and triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining, respectively. Histopathological changes were visualized by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and Masson staining. The regulation of TIMP3 expression by miR-17-3p was verified using a dual-luciferase reporter assay. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). TIMP3 expression was measured by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blotting.ResultsWe demonstrated that miR-17-3p was significantly downregulated in peripheral blood exosomes after cardiac I/R injury. Further analysis indicated that exosomal miR-17-3p attenuated H2O2-induced programmed necrosis in cardiomyocytes in vitro. Moreover, TIMP3 was a target for miR-17-3p. TIMP3 affected H2O2-induced programmed necrosis in cardiomyocytes. This effect was modulated by miR-17-3p in vitro. Furthermore, exosomal miR-17-3p greatly alleviated cardiac I/R injury in vivo.ConclusionsThe present study demonstrated that exosomal miR-17-3p alleviated the programmed necrosis associated with cardiac I/R injury by regulating TIMP3 expression. These findings could represent a potential treatment for I/R injury.

Project description:Previous studies have shown that microRNAs (miRs), such as miR-146a play an important role in the pathogenesis of intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced injury; however, the role of miR-146a in intestinal I/R-induced acute lung injury has not been elucidated. An intestinal I/R-induced injury mouse model was established in the present study by clamping the superior mesenteric artery and expression levels of miR-146a in intestinal and lung tissue samples were evaluated using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Intestinal and lung histopathological characteristics in mice with intestinal I/R-induced injury were assessed by hematoxylin and eosin staining, and mRNA and protein expression levels in intestinal and lung tissue samples were evaluated using RT-qPCR and western blotting, respectively. miR-146a expression was significantly downregulated in the intestinal and lung tissue samples of mice with intestinal I/R-induced injury. Intestinal I/R injury-induced histopathological changes in the lung and intestines, and pulmonary edema in mice transduced with an adenoviral miR-146a-overexpression vector (the miR-146a overexpression group) were alleviated. mRNA expression levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IFN-γ and TGF-β1, and protein expression levels of TNF receptor-associated factor 6, phosphorylated-p65 NF-κB, cleaved caspase-3 and cleaved caspase-9 in lung and intestinal tissue samples were downregulated in I/R-miR-146a-overexpressing mice, compared with those from the I/R-negative control group. Thus, the present study identified that pre-treatment with the miR-146a overexpression vector alleviated intestinal I/R-induced acute lung injury in mice.

Project description:Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (II/R) injury is an urgent clinical disease with high incidence and mortality, and impaired intestinal barrier function caused by excessive apoptosis of intestinal cells is an important cause of its serious consequences. Tripartite motif-containing protein 65 (TRIM65) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that is recently reported to suppress the inflammatory response and apoptosis. However, the biological function and regulation of TRIM65 in II/R injury are totally unknown. We found that TRIM65 was significantly decreased in hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) induced intestinal epithelial cells and II/R-induced intestine tissue. TRIM65 knockout mice markedly aggravated intestinal apoptosis and II/R injury. To explore the molecular mechanism of TRIM65 in exacerbating II/R-induced intestinal apoptosis and damage, thymocyte selection-associated high mobility group box factor 4 (TOX4) was screened out as a novel substrate of TRIM65 using the yeast two-hybrid system. TRIM65 binds directly to the N-terminal of TOX4 through its coiled-coil and SPRY structural domains. Immunofluorescence confocal microscopy showed that they can co-localize both in the cytoplasm and nucleus. Furthermore, TRIM65 mediated the K48 ubiquitination and degradation of TOX4 depending on its E3 ubiquitin ligase activity. In addition, TRIM65 inhibits H/R-induced intestinal epithelial apoptosis via TOX4. In summary, our results indicated that TRIM65 promotes ubiquitination and degradation of TOX4 to inhibit apoptosis in II/R. These findings provide a promising target for the clinical treatment of II/R injury.
