概括
败血症涉及到不受控制的炎症. 脂聚糖 (LPS) 通过激活NLRP3炎症酶,降低肠道屏障完整性,并改变Slit2-Robo4信号,触发炎症. VX765治疗逆转了这些败血症效应.
科学领域:
- 免疫学 免疫学 免疫学
- 分子生物学分子生物学
- 病理生理学 病理生理学
背景情况:
- 败血症是一种危及生命的病症,其特征是炎症反应失调.
- 脂多糖 (LPS) 是败血症引起的炎症的关键触发因素,但其确切的机制尚不清楚.
- 了解LPS诱导的炎症对于开发有效的败血症治疗至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 阐明LPS诱导的毒性炎症背后的分子机制.
- 调查NLRP3炎症酶和Slit2-Robo4信号通路在败血症发病过程中的作用.
- 评估抑制NLRP3炎症酶的治疗潜力.
主要方法:
- 建立LPS诱导的败血症的小鼠模型.
- 使用LPS和NLRP3炎症酶抑制剂VX765.5进行治疗.
- 血清和肠道组织的分析使用免疫组织化学,西部斑块和ELISA.
主要成果:
- LPS注射诱导严重的炎症,其特征是IL-1β和IL-18水平增加以及肠道中的NLRP3炎症酶激活.
- 暴露于LPS导致Slit2和Robo4的表达减少,以及肠道VEGF的增加.
- 肠道屏障的完整性受到损害,减少了紧结蛋白 (ZO-1,ocludin,claudin-5),这被VX765.5扭转了.
- VX765治疗减轻了LPS诱导的炎症反应,并恢复了肠道屏障功能.
结论:
- 在Slit2-Robo4信号通路和肠道紧接处与LPS诱导的炎症有关.
- NLRP3炎症酶激活在调解这些病理变化的过程中起着至关重要的作用.
- 准NLRP3炎症酶和恢复肠道屏障完整性可能是败血症的治疗策略.

Hedgehog Signaling Pathway
7.1K
The Hedgehog gene (Hh) was first discovered due to its control of the growth of disorganized, hair-like bristles phenotype in Drosophila, much like hedgehog spines. Hh plays a crucial role in the development of organs and the maintenance of homeostasis in both invertebrates and vertebrates. However, while Drosophila has only one Hh protein, mammals have multiple functional Hedgehog proteins - Sonic (Shh), Desert (Dhh), and Indian Hedgehog (Ihh). All of these homologous proteins have adapted to...

Role Of Notch Signalling In Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal
1.8K
Notch signaling was first discovered in Drosophila melanogaster, where it is involved in cell lineage differentiation. Notch signaling regulates the maintenance and differentiation of intestinal stem cells or ISCs by controlling the expression of atonal homolog 1 or Atoh1. Atoh1 directs cells to differentiate into secretory cells.
Direct cell-to-cell contact is needed for the activation of Notch signaling. The signal is initiated when a notch ligand binds to a receptor on an adjacent cell, also...
