Mol Biol Rep 2024; 51:750.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute lung injury (ALI) is a clinical syndrome characterized by pulmonary inflammation. Ultrashort wave diathermy (USWD) has been shown to be effective at in inhibiting ALI inflammation, although the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Previous studies have demonstrated that USWD generates a therapeutic thermal environment that aligns with the temperature required for heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), an endogenous protective substance. In this study, we examined the correlation between HSP70 and USWD in alleviating lung inflammation in ALI. METHODS Forty-eight male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control, model, USWD intervention (LU) 1, 2, and 3, and USWD preintervention (UL) 1, 2, and 3 groups (n = 6 in each group). The mice were pretreated with LPS to induce ALI. The UL1, 2, and 3 groups received USWD treatment before LPS infusion, while the LU1, 2, and 3 groups received USWD treatment after LPS infusion. Lung function and structure, inflammatory factor levels and HSP70 protein expression levels were detected. RESULTS USWD effectively improved lung structure and function, and significantly reduced IL-1β, IL-10, TGF-β1, and TNF-α levels in both the USWD preintervention and intervention groups. However, HSP70 expression did not significantly differ across the experimental groups although the expression of TLR4 was significantly decreased, suggesting that USWD may have anti-inflammatory effects through multiple signaling pathways or that the experimental conditions should be restricted. CONCLUSIONS Both USWD intervention and preintervention effectively reduced the inflammatory response, alleviated lung injury symptoms, and played a protective role in LPS-pretreated ALI mice. HSP70 was potentially regulated by USWD in this process, but further studies are urgently needed to elucidate the correlation and mechanism.

The suppression of HSPA8 attenuates NLRP3 ubiquitination through SKP2 to promote pyroptosis in sepsis-induced lung injury. Cell Biosci 2024; 14:56. [PMID: 38698431 PMCID: PMC11064404 DOI: 10.1186/s13578-024-01239-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2023] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/05/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute lung injury (ALI) is strongly associated with hospitalization and mortality in patients with sepsis. Recent evidence suggests that pyroptosis mediated by NLRP3(NOD-, LRR- and pyrin domain-containing 3) inflammasome activation plays a key role in sepsis. However, the mechanism of NLRP3 inflammasome activation in sepsis-induced lung injury remains unclear. RESULTS in this study, we demonstrated that NLRP3 inflammasome was activated by the down-regulation of heat shock protein family A member 8 (HSPA8) in Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-treated mouse alveolar epithelial cells (AECs). Geranylgeranylacetone (GGA)-induced HSPA8 overexpression in cecum ligation and puncture (CLP) mice could significantly reduce systemic inflammatory response and mortality, effectively protect lung function, whilst HSPA8 inhibitor VER155008 aggravated this effect. The inhibition of HSPA8 was involved in sepsis induced acute lung injury by promoting pyroptosis of AECs. The down-regulation of HSPA8 activated NLRP3 inflammasome to mediate pyroptosis by promoting the degradation of E3 ubiquitin ligase S-phase kinase-associated protein 2 (SKP2). In addition, when stimulated by LPS and ATP, down-regulated SKP2 promoted pyroptosis of AECs by further attenuating ubiquitination of NLRP3. Adeno-associated virus 9-SKP2(AAV9-SKP2) could promote NLRP3 ubiquitination and degradation, alleviate lung injury and inhibit systemic inflammatory response in vivo. CONCLUSION in summary, our study shows there is strong statistical evidence that the suppression of HSPA8 mediates alveolar epithelial pyroptosis by promoting the degradation of E3 ubiquitin ligase SKP2 and subsequently attenuating the ubiquitination of NLRP3 to activate the NLRP3 inflammasome, which provides a new perspective and therapeutic target for the treatment of sepsis-induced lung injury.

Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:962. [PMID: 38256033 PMCID: PMC10815927 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25020962] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2023] [Revised: 12/31/2023] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Sepsis is a serious organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated immune host reaction to a pathogen. The innate immunity is programmed to react immediately to conserved molecules, released by the pathogens (PAMPs), and the host (DAMPs). We aimed to review the molecular mechanisms of the early phases of sepsis, focusing on PAMPs, DAMPs, and their related pathways, to identify potential biomarkers. We included studies published in English and searched on PubMed® and Cochrane®. After a detailed discussion on the actual knowledge of PAMPs/DAMPs, we analyzed their role in the different organs affected by sepsis, trying to elucidate the molecular basis of some of the most-used prognostic scores for sepsis. Furthermore, we described a chronological trend for the release of PAMPs/DAMPs that may be useful to identify different subsets of septic patients, who may benefit from targeted therapies. These findings are preliminary since these pathways seem to be strongly influenced by the peculiar characteristics of different pathogens and host features. Due to these reasons, while initial findings are promising, additional studies are necessary to clarify the potential involvement of these molecular patterns in the natural evolution of sepsis and to facilitate their transition into the clinical setting.
