Relative adrenal insufficiency is a risk factor in pediatric sepsis

ABSTRACT: Glucocorticoid (GC) therapy had been strongly recommended for pediatric sepsis (grade 1A). However, the recommendation was changed to grade 2C in 2020. Thus, there is an urgent need to determine if GC therapy is beneficial in pediatric sepsis. Relative adrenal insufficiency (RAI) develops in 33.3% of pediatric septic patients. But little is known about the pathogenesis of RAI and whether GC therapy should be based on the status of RAI. In this study, we utilized 21-day-old SF1CreSRBIfl/fl mice as a pediatric RAI mouse model to assess the pathogenesis of RAI and evaluate GC therapy. We found that RAI mice were susceptible to both cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) and cecal slurry induced septic death. SF1CreSRBIfl/fl mice featured persistent inflammatory responses, and they were effectively rescued by GC therapy. RNA-seq analysis revealed that RAI leads to the persistent inflammatory responses mainly due to transcriptional dysregulation of AP-1 and NF-κB. A number of prognostic biomarkers reported in pediatric septic patients were also identified in RAI mice. Our findings support a precision medicine approach to guide GC therapy for pediatric patients - use of GC based on the status of RAI.

The ACTH test fails to diagnose adrenal insufficiency and increases cytokine levels in septic conditions

Project description:The ACTH test is used to diagnose relative adrenal insufficiency (RAI) or critical illness-related corticosteroid insufficiency (CIRCI). Initially, guidelines recommended corticosteroid/glucocorticoid (GC) therapy for septic patients with RAI, but later trials did not show a survival benefit, leading to updated guidelines that abandon targeting RAI or CIRCI. Recent studies with an RAI mouse model showed a clear survival benefit from GC therapy in mice with RAI, suggesting that the inconclusive GC clinical trials might be due to issues with the ACTH test rather than targeting RAI. To investigate, we performed the ACTH test in septic mice. Interestingly, the ACTH test identified most mice as having adrenal insufficiency in the early and middle stages of sepsis, even those with a normal adrenal stress response. Surprisingly, the ACTH test triggered inflammatory cytokine to lethal levels, moderately increased mortality in septic mice. Mechanistically, RNAseq analysis revealed that these cytokines were generated by the adrenal gland via AP-1 signaling. These findings suggest that the inconclusive results of GC therapy trials may be due to the problematic nature of the ACTH test rather than the ineffectiveness of targeting RAI/CIRCI.

Beta 1 blockers improve survival and provide cardioprotection in septic mice

Project description:Septic cardiac dysfunction is a key feature of severe sepsis and septic shock, contributing to multiorgan dysfunction syndrome and death. It has been established that persistent beta adrenergic stimulation is detrimental in sepsis, and that specific beta 1 blockade mitigates excessive systemic inflammation and improves myocardial function. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of specific beta 1 blocker esmolol on septic mouse myocardium by genomic and proteomic techniques. We also evaluated survival of septic mice and systemic inflammation under esmolol treatment. C57BL/6 mice were rendered septic by 2 models: cecal ligature and perforation (CLP) and intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharides (LPS). Effects of esmolol on myocardium were assessed by microarray technique. Total RNA were isolated and purified from a 30mg sample of the heart of 6 groups of 8 animals, depending on the sepsis model and the treatment. The labeled cDNA from the treated animals were hybridized against the labeled cDNA from the untreated animals with 2 dye-swaps done for each sepsis model.

Single cell RNA seq reveals cellular and transcriptional heterogeneity in the splenic CD11b+Ly6Chigh monocyte population expanded in sepsis-surviving mice

Project description:Patients surviving a septic episode exhibit persistent immune impairment and increased mortality due to enhanced infection vulnerability. In the present study, using the cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) model of polymicrobial sepsis, we addressed the hypothesis that functional, metabolic, and phenotypic alterations in splenic CD11b+Ly6Chigh myeloid cells contribute to the immune impairment in sepsis-surviving mice. Herein, we showed the cellular and transcriptional heterogeneity of the expanded splenic CD11b+Ly6Chigh population in CLP-survivors. We also showed that CD11b+Ly6Chigh cells presented phenotypic and functional disparity between C57BL6/J and BALB/c strains.

Transcription profiling of mouse and human spleen to determine a molecular signature for sepsis

Project description:Accuracy of sepsis prediction was obtained using cross-validation of gene expression data from 12 human spleen samples and from 16 mouse spleen samples. For blood studies, classifiers were constructed using data from a training data set of 26 microarrays. The error rate of the classifiers was estimated on seven de-identified microarrays, and then on a subsequent cross-validation for all 33 blood microarrays. Estimates of classification accuracy of sepsis in human spleen were 67.1%; in mouse spleen, 96%; and in mouse blood, 94.4% (all estimates were based on nested cross-validation). Lists of genes with substantial changes in expression between study and control groups were used to identify nine mouse common inflammatory response genes, six of which were mapped into a single pathway using contemporary pathway analysis tools. Experiment Overall Design: Exploratory studies were conducted using spleens from septic patients and from mice with abdominal sepsis. Seven patients with sepsis after injury were identified retrospectively and compared with six injured patients. C57BL/6 male mice were subjected to cecal ligation and puncture, or to IP lipopolysaccharide. Control mice had sham laparotomy or injection of IP saline, respectively. A sepsis classification model was created and tested on blood samples from septic mice.

Expression data from lung of septic PPTA knockout mouse

Project description:In this study, we have explored microarray-based differential gene expression profile in mouse lung tissue 8 h after inducing polymicrobial sepsis and the effect of preprotachykinin-A (PPTA) gene deletion. A range of genes differentially expressed (> 2-fold) in microarray analysis was assessed, PPTA-knockout septic mice with their respective sham controls. We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression underlying sepsis in mice lacking the gene for substance P and identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes during this process. Lung samples from wild-type or PPTA-knockout mice were selected at 8 h after cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) or sham surgery for RNA extraction and hybridization to Affymetrix microarrays. Triplicates were performed for each condition.

Sepsis gene expression profiling: murine splenic compared with hepatic responses

Project description:The aim of this series of experiments was to gain experience in sepsis gene expression profiling in a well-accepted model of murine polymicrobial abdominal sepsis and begin characterizing (in the parlance of genomics) the sepsis "transcriptome." DESIGN: Prospective animal study. SETTING: University-based animal research facility.SUBJECTS C57BL/6 mice. INTERVENTIONS: After induction of general anesthesia, cecal ligation and puncture were performed to induce peritonitis and polymicrobial sepsis. The control group had sham laparotomy only. Three samples of spleen and liver were collected from septic and sham animals at 24 hrs after laparotomy. Changes in expression were measured for 588 annotated mouse genes by using a commercially available complementary DNA microarray kit. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Broad-scale gene expression profiles were characterized for septic liver and spleen and compared with sham controls. The analytical tools used included commercially available software packages and a novel analysis program. Very little overlap was observed in the septic gene expression profiles of these two organs. Most of the genes identified have previously been linked to regulation of the inflammatory response; importantly, however, some have not. In addition, hierarchical cluster analysis showed that cecal ligation and puncture at 24 hrs induced coordinate expression of genes that alter cell signaling and survival pathways in spleen, consistent with previously published reports of sepsis-induced splenocyte apoptosis. The current limitations of microarray analysis as reflected in these studies are also discussed. CONCLUSIONS: Microarray technology provides a powerful new tool for rapidly analyzing tissue-specific changes in gene expression induced by sepsis in animal models. Keywords: other

Hydrogen gas therapy attenuate inflammatory pathway signaling in septic mice

Project description:Molecular hydrogen (H2) has been used in several clinical cases. However, few studies have been reported on the use of hydrogen therapy for treatment of sepsis, and the anti-inflammatory mechanism of H2 remains majorly unknown. The aim of this study is to confirm the effects of H2 therapy for sepsis and reveal its therapeutic mechanism by performing RNA-seq in multiple organs in the septic mice. Nine-week-old C57BL/6 male mice underwent cecal ligation and puncture procedure (CLP) or sham procedure. Subsequently, the CLP model received an immediate +/- continuous inhalation of 7% H2. The H2 gas-treated groups were housed in the same cage, and they were put in a designated box that was able to maintain the concentration of H2 through constant H2 supply by a gas generator. Mice were observed for a week to assess their survival rates. Serum inflammatory cytokines were evaluated with ELISA at 24 h after the CLP procedure.
