Sirtuin 1 deletion increases inflammation and mortality in sepsis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sepsis is a hyperinflammatory response to infection that can lead to multiorgan failure and eventually death. Often, the onset of multiorgan failure is heralded by renal dysfunction. Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) promotes cellular stress resilience by inhibiting inflammation and promoting mitochondrial function. We hypothesize that SIRT1 plays an important role in limiting the inflammatory responses that drive organ failure in sepsis, predominantly via expression in myeloid cells.

Methods

We performed cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) on whole body SIRT1 knockout (S1KO) and myeloid cell-specific S1KO (S1KO-LysMCre) mice on a C57BL/6J background. Serum interleukin (IL)-6 was quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Renal mitochondrial complex activity was measured usin
