Project description:Background: Sepsis can lead to multiple organ damage, and the heart is one of the most vulnerable organs. Vagal nerve stimulation can reduce myocardial injury in sepsis and improve survival rate. However, the relative effect of disparate cell populations on sepsis induced myocardial dysfunction and the low-level tragus stimulation on it, remain unclear. Methods: We used the cardiac single-cell transcriptomic strategy to characterize the cardiac cell population and the network of cells that forms the heart. And we selected all cardiac macrophage from CD45+ cells using single-cell mRNA sequencing data. Then we used echocardiography performing, western blot and immunofluorescence and immunohistochemical technology to verify the data of the single-cell mRNA sequencing results. Results: In single-cell mRNA sequencing data, our analysis provides a comprehensive map of the cardiac cellular landscape uncovering multiple cell populations that contribute to sepsis induced myocardial dysfunction under low-level tragus stimulation. Pseudo timing analysis in single-cell sequencing showed that low level vagal nerve stimulation could induce the transformation of cardiac monocytes into M2 macrophages and play an anti-inflammatory role. After low-level tragus stimulation, the expression of α7nAChR in the heart tissue increased significantly. Echocardiography showed that low-level tragus stimulation could improve the cardiac function of septic myocardial injury of the mice. Comparing with the sepsis group, the expression of interleukin-1β in heart tissue of the mice in sepsis with low-level tragus stimulation group is significantly lower. Conclusion: Low-level tragus stimulation can improve sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction by promoting cardiac monocytes to M2 macrophages. Goal of the study: In the present study, we aimed to screen macrophages, their crosstalk with other cells, and macrophages associated with cardiac injury and further verify their origins and roles in the septic myocardial injury process and low-level tragus stimulation (LL-TS) to treat septic myocardial dysfunction.

Project description:Background: Low-level tragus stimulation (LL-TS) can reduce acute renal injury in sepsis and improve survival rates. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remains unknown. Renal macrophages that contributed to AKI in sepsis under low-level tragus stimulation were characterized. Methods: Mice were randomly assigned to five groups following diverse treatments: Control, Sham, Sepsis, LL-TS + sepsis, and LL-TS + sepsis + Methyllycaconitine citrate (MLA). Blood creatinine testing and hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining were used to assess kidney injury. Single-cell RNA sequencing were used to profile renal macrophages from CD45+ cells in mouse kidney. Western blot, immunofluorescence and HE staining were performed to verify the level of the alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR) or interleukin-1β expression in kidney. Results: HE staining and blood creatinine testing of renal tissue indicated that LL-TS alleviated renal injury in mice with sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (AKI). A map of the renal cellular landscape was generated to identify macrophages that contributed to AKI in sepsis under LL-TS. Pseudo-timing analysis showed that LL-TS played an anti-inflammatory role by promoting renal monocyte conversion into M2 macrophages. Moreover, LL-TS significantly increased α7nAChR expression and decreased interleukin-1β expression in renal tissues. Conclusions: LL-TS alleviated sepsis-associated AKI by increasing α7nAChR expression and M2 macrophage polarization which promotes the anti-inflammatory process in sepsis. The results suggests that LL-TS may serve as a potential therapeutic strategy for sepsis-induced kidney dysfunction, ultimately improving patient outcomes.

Vagal nerve stimulation can reduce myocardial injury in sepsis and improve survival rates. However, the potential impact of low-level tragus stimulation and disparate cell populations on sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction remains undetermined.MethodsA cardiac single-cell transcriptomic approach was used for characterizing cardiac cell populations that form the heart. Single-cell mRNA sequencing data were used for selecting all cardiac macrophages from CD45+ cells. Then, echocardiography, western blot, flow cytometry, immunofluorescence, and immunohistochemistry were performed to verify the single-cell mRNA sequencing results.ResultsUsing single-cell mRNA sequencing data, we uncovered the multiple cell populations contributing to myocardial injury in sepsis under low-level tragus stimulation, thereby illustrating a comprehensive map of the cardiac cellular landscape. Pseudotiming analysis in single-cell sequencing showed that low-level vagal nerve stimulation played an anti-inflammatory role by promoting cardiac monocytes into M2 macrophages, which significantly increased α7nAChR expression in heart tissues. Echocardiography assessment indicated that low-level vagal nerve stimulation could also improve cardiac functions in mice with sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction. In addition, the heart tissues of mice from the sepsis group with low-level tragus stimulation had significantly lower interleukin-1β expression levels than those from the sepsis group. Flow cytometry analysis showed that different acetylcholine concentrations promoted cardiac monocytes into M2 macrophages in in vitro experiments.ConclusionLow-level tragus stimulation could improve sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction by promoting cardiac monocytes to M2 macrophages.

Project description:Macrophage polarization followed by acute myocardial infarction (MI) is essential for the regulation of inflammation and scar formation. Tripartite motif-containing protein 21 (TRIM21), a member of E3 ubiquitin ligases, is a crucial mediator in the process of inflammation and heart failure. However, the potential roles of TRIM21 in modulating post-MI inflammation and macrophage polarization remain elusive. We detected that the levels of TRIM21 were significantly reduced in macrophages of WT mice after MI. In contrast, MI was ameliorated in TRIM21 knockout (TRIM21-/-) mice with improved cardiac remodeling, characterized by a marked decrease in mortality, increased wall thickness, and improved cardiac function in comparison with wild-type (WT) MI mice. Importantly, TRIM21 deficiency decreased the post-MI apoptosis and DNA damage in the hearts of mice, and the accumulation of M1 phenotype macrophages in infarcted hearts significantly decreased in TRIM21-/- mice compared with WT controls. Mechanistically, depletion of TRIM21 orchestrated the process of M1 macrophage polarization via a PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Overall, these data reveal that TRIM21 drives the inflammatory response and cardiac remodeling after MI via stimulating M1 macrophage polarization through a PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Project description:TLRs are considered important for innate immune responses that combat bacterial infections. Here, the role of TLRs in severe septic peritonitis using the colon ascendens stent peritonitis (CASP) model was examined. We demonstrate that mice deficient for MyD88 and TRIF had markedly reduced bacterial numbers both in peritoneal cavity and peripheral blood, indicating that bacterial clearance in this model is inhibited by TLR signals. Moreover, survival of Myd88-/-;TrifLps2/Lps2 mice was significantly improved. The lack of TLR signals prevented the excessive induction of inflammatory cytokines and of IL 10. Notably, the expression of IFN-gamma, which has an essential protective role in septic peritonitis, and of IFN-regulated genes including several p47 and p65 GTPases as well as IP 10 was independent of TLR signaling. These results provide evidence that, in severe septic peritonitis, TLR deficiency balances the innate immune response in a favorable manner by attenuating deleterious responses such as excessive cytokine release, while leaving intact protective IFN-gamma production. In this dataset, expression data of genes induced by septic peritonitis in spleens from TLR-deficient and wildtype mice are included. 3 groups (septic TLR-deficient mice, septic wildtype mice, and untreated wildtype mice) with 4 replicates each.

Project description:Aims: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) gradually become attractive candidates for cardiac inflammation modulation, yet understanding of the mechanism remains elusive. Strikingly, recent studies indicated that exosomes secreted by MSCs might be a novel mechanism for the beneficial effect of MSCs transplantation after myocardial infarction. We therefore explored the role of MSC-derived exosomes (MSC-Exo) in the immunomodulation of macrophages after myocardial ischemia-reperfusion and its implications in cardiac injury repair. Methods and Results: Exosomes were isolated from the supernatant of MSCs using a gradient centrifugation method. Administration of MSC-Exo through intramyocardial injection after myocardial ischemia reperfusion reduced infarct size and alleviated inflammation level in heart and serum. Systemic depletion of macrophages with clodronate liposomes abolished the curative effects of MSC-Exo. MSC-Exo modified the polarization of M1 macrophages to M2 macrophages both in vivo and in vitro. miRNA-sequencing of MSC-Exo and bioinformatics analysis implicated miR-182 as a potent candidate mediator of macrophage polarization and TLR4 as a downstream target. Diminishing miR-182 in MSC-Exo partially attenuated its modulation of macrophage polarization. Likewise, knock down of TLR4 also conferred cardioprotective efficacy and reduced inflammation level in a mouse model of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion. Conclusion: Our data indicates that MSC-Exo attenuates myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury via shuttling miR-182 that modifies the polarization state of macrophages. This study sheds new light on the application of MSC-Exo a potential therapeutic tool for myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury.
