Mesenchymal Stem Cells Reduce Inflammation while Enhancing Bacterial Clearance and Improving Survival in Sepsis

ABSTRACT: Expression data from Total RNA extracted from murine spleen. Sepsis was induced in C57Bl/6J mice by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP), followed 6 hours later by an intravenous injection of Mesenchymal Stem Cell (MSC) or saline. Twenty-eight hours after CLP, plasma, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and tissues were collected for analyses. Total RNA was extracted using Trizol (as per manufactures' instruction) followed by clean-up procedure using Qiagen RNA easy Prep (as per manufactures instructions) In the following study we hypothesized that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which have documented immunomodulatory properties, would reduce sepsis-associated inflammation and organ injury in a clinically relevant model of sepsis. To identify the molecular changes associated with decreased inflammation in CLP-injured mice treated with MSCs, we analyzed the gene expression profiles from spleens collected at 28 hours from 4 animals per group: sham/saline, CLP/saline, and CLP/MSCs.

<h4>Rationale</h4>Sepsis refers to the clinical syndrome of severe systemic inflammation precipitated by infection. Despite appropriate antimicrobial therapy, sepsis-related morbidity and mortality remain intractable problems in critically ill patients. Moreover, there is no specific treatment strategy for the syndrome of sepsis-induced multiple organ dysfunction.<h4>Objectives</h4>We hypothesized that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which have been shown to have immunomodulatory properties, woul ...[more]

Project description:Background: Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) is a common and severe complication of sepsis. While several studies have reported the proteomic alteration in plasma, urine, heart, etc. of sepsis, few research focused on the brain tissue. This study aims at discovering the differentially abundant proteins in the brains of septic rats to identify biomarkers of SAE. Methods: The Prague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sepsis (n = 6) or sham (n = 6) groups, and then the whole brain tissue was dissected at 24 h after surgery for further protein identification by TMT-LC–MS/MS-based proteomics. Ingenuity pathway analysis, Gene ontology knowledgebase, and STRING database are used to explore the biological significance of proteins with altered concentration. Results: Among the total of 3163 proteins identified in the brain tissue, 57 were increased while 38 were decreased in the sepsis group compared to the sham group. Bioinformatic analyses suggest that the differentially abundant proteins are highly related to cellular microtubule metabolism, energy production, nucleic acid metabolism, neurological disease, etc. Additionally, acute phase response signaling was possibly activated and PI3K/AKT signaling was suppressed during sepsis. An interaction network established by IPA revealed that Akt1, Gc-globulin, and ApoA1 were the core proteins. The increase of Gc-globulin and the decrease of Akt1 were confirmed by Western blot. Conclusions: Based on the multifunction of these proteins in several brain diseases, we first propose that Gc-globulin, ApoA1, PI3K/AKT pathway, and acute phase response proteins (hemopexin and cluster of alpha-2-macroglobulin) can potentially be diagnosis biomarkers, therapeutic targets, and prognosis indicators of SAE. These results may provide new insights into the pathologic mechanism of SAE, yet further research is required to explore the functional implications and clinical applications of the differentially abundant proteins in the brains of sepsis group.
