Gene expression data from compstatin treated E.coli-Induced primate sepsis model

ABSTRACT: Severe sepsis leads to massive activation of coagulation and complement cascades that could contribute to multiple organ failure (MOF) and death. To investigate the role of the complement and its crosstalk with the hemostatic system in the pathophysiology and therapeutics of sepsis, we have used a potent inhibitor (compstatin) administered early or late post E. coli challenge in a baboon model of sepsis-induced MOF. Microarray was used to study the affect of complement pathway on global gene expression pattern in sepsis, aims on exploring and discovering the new target genes as potential drugs for the early treatment and prevention of sepsis. Lung and liver tissues were obtained from three normal healthy animals (as Ctl), three animals challenged with sublethal dose of E. coli as SLEC, three animals treated with Compstatin at different sepsis stages after E.coli challenge as SLEC-CST0 and SLEC-CST5. All the animals challenged with E. coli were sacrified at 24 hours post challenge. Total RNAs were isolated from these tissues, hybridized with Affymetrix Human Genome GeneChip U133A 2.0.

Project description:Background : The aim of this study is to improve our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the role of sepsis in the limb muscles of ICU patients with acute quadriplegic myopathy (AQM) by using a unique porcine ICU model, i.e., 5-day longitudinal experiments where animals are sedated, mechanically ventilated and exposed to factor triggering AQM that is endotoxin-induced sepsis. Results : An increased expression of genes involved in chemokine activity and transcriptional regulation. A decreased expression in genes regulating heat shock proteins, cytoskeletal & sarcomeric and oxidative stress response were also apparent. Therefore, it appears that sepsis has an additive deleterious role in acute quadriplegic myopathy. Sepsis-induced molecular mechanisms involving chemokine/innate immunity and heat shock proteins are forwarded as probable mechanisms underlying the decreased force generating capacity. Conclusions : This sepsis had significant effect on biceps femoris muscle force-generation capacity but not on fiber size. However, significant differences were observed between the MV and MV+SEP in the transcriptional regulation of an increased expression of genes involved in chemokine activity genes like MCP-1 and transcriptional regulation genes like JUNB, STAT3 and BHLHB2. A decreased expression in genes regulating heat shock proteins like HSP 90, HSP 70 and αB-crystallin, cytoskeletal & sarcomeric like MAP1A, MyBP-C1 and MYH7 and oxidative stress response like SRXN1 and SOD2 were also apparent. Therefore, it appears that sepsis has an additive negative role in acute quadriplegic myopathy. Four female domestic piglets (Sus scrofa, average body weight 25.5 kg) were used in this study. Piglets were immobilized by anesthesia and mechanically ventilated via a tracheotomy for a period of five days. During this study period, the animals were sedated using isoflurane inhalation (Abbott Laboratories, Chicago, Il, USA, 0.8 – 1.3% end-tidal concentration) supplemented by intravenous bolus doses of morphine and ketamine as needed. Core body temperature (blood) was maintained in the range of 38.5 – 40°C by a servo controlled heating pad. The animals received intravenous crystalloid fluid (Ringeracetat) to maintain stable blood pressure and urinary output and a glucose infusion (Rehydrex, Fresenius Kabi, Stockholm, Sweden, 25 mg glucose /mL) in the range of 0.5 – 1.5 mg/kg/minute to decrease the effects of catabolism. Each animal received prophylactic streptomycin 750 mg/d and bensylpenicillin 600 mg/d (Streptocillin Vet, Boeringer-Ingelheim, Hellerup, Denmark). Arterial blood gas analysis as well as electrolytes and blood glucose levels were monitored regularly and kept in the normal range throughout the study period. A neuromuscular blocking agent (NMBA) was administered as a continuous infusion of pancuronium bromide 0.1mg/kg/h (Pavolun; Organon, Boxtel, The Netherlands) for 5days while a corticosteroid (CS) was given as bolus doses of betamethasone 0.1 mg/kg (Betapred; GSK, Slona, Sweden) twice daily for 5days. Endotoxemia was induced by a continuous infusion of Escherichia coli endotoxin, serotype O26:B6 (Sigma Labkemi, Stockholm, Sweden) at 36 µg/kg/h for 1h.

Project description:Systemic inflammation like in sepsis is still lacking specific diagnostic markers and effective therapeutics. The first line of defense against intruding pathogens and endogenous damage signals is pattern recognition by e.g., complement and Toll-like receptors (TLR). Combined inhibition of a key complement component (C3 and C5) and TLR-co-receptor CD14 has been shown to attenuate certain systemic inflammatory responses. Using DNA microarray and gene annotation analyses, we aimed to decipher the effect of combined inhibition of C3 and CD14 on the transcriptional response to bacterial challenge in human whole blood. Importantly, combined inhibition reversed the transcriptional changes of 70% of the 2335 genes which significantly responded to heat-inactivated Escherichia coli by on average 80%. Single inhibition was less efficient (p<0.001) but revealed a suppressive effect of C3 on 21% of the responding genes which was partially counteracted by CD14. Furthermore, CD14 dependency of the Escherichia coli-induced response was increased in C5-deficient compared to C5-sufficient blood. The observed crucial distinct and synergistic roles for complement and CD14 on the transcriptional level correspond to their broad impact on the inflammatory response in human blood, and their combined inhibition may become inevitable in the early treatment of acute systemic inflammation. A microarray study was performed on whole blood from two healthy donors, a C5-deficient patient (C5D) (with and without C5-reconstitution) incubated for 120 min at 37oC with (i) PBS, (ii) E. coli or (iii) E. coli and inhibitors of complement (C3 or C5aR) and/or CD14 or inhibitor controls. The experiments were performed as biological replicates on two different days (healthy donor and C5D). Due to lack of a second C5-deficient patient, microarray analyses were prerformed twice (technical replicate) for C5D and day 1. Expression data in presence of PBS were used as reference for those in pressence of E. coli. Expression data in presence of E. coli were used as reference for those in pressence of E. coli and inhibitors. Expression data from 0 min incubation with PBS represent the initial state (T0). Whole blood was lysed in Applied Biosystems AB6100 total RNA chemistry lysis buffer and stored at -80oC prior to RNA extraction.
