Abstract

International audience; OBJECTIVE:Previous studies have suggested that lowering heart rate (HR) by selective β1-blockers improves sepsis-induced cardiac and vascular dysfunction primarily by decreasing proinflammatory pathways. However, the impact of isolated heart rate reduction (HRR) on hemodynamics and inflammatory pathways remains unknown. The present study was designed to assess the effects of HRR by ivabradine, an If channel inhibitor, on cardiovascular function and inflammatory pathways in peritonitis-induced septic shock in rats.DESIGN:Randomized animal study.SETTING:University research laboratory.INTERVENTIONS:Four hours after cecal ligation and puncture (CLP), Wistar rats were randomly allocated to the following groups: CLP (n = 8) and CLP + ivabradine (n = 8, administered per os 4 h after the surgery). Another eight Wistar male rats underwent sham operation. All rats received a continuous infusion of saline (10 mL kg h), analgesic (nalbuphine: 0.2 mg kg h), and antibiotics (imipenem and cilastatin sodium: 10 mg kg) 4 h after the surgery. Assessment at 18 h included hemodynamics, in vivo cardiac function by echocardiography, and ex vivo vasoreactivity by myography. Circulating cytokine levels (TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-10) were measured by ELISA, whereas cardiac and vascular protein expressions of NF-κB/IκBα/iNOS and Akt/eNOS were assessed by Western blotting.RESULTS:Compared with sham animals, CLP induced tachycardia, hypotension, decreased cardiac output, hyperlactatemia, and vascular hyporesponsiveness to vasopressors. Compared with the CLP group, adjunction of ivabradine decreased the HR without any impact on blood pressure, lactatemia, or vascular responsiveness to vasopressors. Adjunction of ivabradine to CLP rats had no impact on TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-10 cytokines, or on the protein expression levels of phosphorylated forms of NF-κB, Akt, eNOS, and degradation of IκBα in cardiac and vascular tissues.CONCLUSION:Isolated HRR by ivabradine in an experimental model of septic shock does not appear to be associated with any effect on the tested parameters of cardiac function or on vascular responsiveness to vasopressors. Moreover, in this setting, ivabradine does not alter the circulating levels of selected pro/anti-inflammatory cytokines or cardiac and vascular NF-κB/IκBα protein expression levels.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE—Diabetes and obesity are characterized by a low-grade inflammation whose molecular origin is unknown. We previously determined, first, that metabolic endotoxemia controls the inflammatory tone, body weight gain, and diabetes, and second, that high-fat feeding modulates gut microbiota and the plasma concentration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), i.e., metabolic endotoxemia. Therefore, it remained to demonstrate whether changes in gut microbiota control the occurrence of metabolic diseases. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—We changed gut microbiota by means of antibiotic treatment to demonstrate, first, that changes in gut microbiota could be responsible for the control of metabolic endotoxemia, the low-grade inflammation, obesity, and type 2 diabetes and, second, to provide some mechanisms responsible for such effect. RESULTS—We found that changes of gut microbiota induced by an antibiotic treatment reduced metabolic endotoxemia and the cecal content of LPS in both high-fat–fed and ob/ob mice. This effect was correlated with reduced glucose intolerance, body weight gain, fat mass development, lower inflammation, oxidative stress, and macrophage infiltration marker mRNA expression in visceral adipose tissue. Importantly, high-fat feeding strongly increased intestinal permeability and reduced the expression of genes coding for proteins of the tight junctions. Furthermore, the absence of CD14 in ob/ob CD14−/− mutant mice mimicked the metabolic and inflammatory effects of antibiotics. CONCLUSIONS—This new finding demonstrates that changes in gut microbiota controls metabolic endotoxemia, inflammation, and associated disorders by a mechanism that could increase intestinal permeability. It would thus be useful to develop strategies for changing gut microbiota to control, intestinal permeability, metabolic endotoxemia, and associated disorders.

Abstract

Chantier qualité GA; International audience; OBJECTIVE: The gut microbiota, which is considered a causal factor in metabolic diseases as shown best in animals, is under the dual influence of the host genome and nutritional environment. This study investigated whether the gut microbiota per se, aside from changes in genetic background and diet, could sign different metabolic phenotypes in mice. METHODS: The unique animal model of metabolic adaptation was used, whereby C57Bl/6 male mice fed a high-fat carbohydrate-free diet (HFD) became either diabetic (HFD diabetic, HFD-D) or resisted diabetes (HFD diabetes-resistant, HFD-DR). Pyrosequencing of the gut microbiota was carried out to profile the gut microbial community of different metabolic phenotypes. Inflammation, gut permeability, features of white adipose tissue, liver and skeletal muscle were studied. Furthermore, to modify the gut microbiota directly, an additional group of mice was given a gluco-oligosaccharide (GOS)-supplemented HFD (HFD+GOS). RESULTS: Despite the mice having the same genetic background and nutritional status, a gut microbial profile specific to each metabolic phenotype was identified. The HFD-D gut microbial profile was associated with increased gut permeability linked to increased endotoxaemia and to a dramatic increase in cell number in the stroma vascular fraction from visceral white adipose tissue. Most of the physiological characteristics of the HFD-fed mice were modulated when gut microbiota was intentionally modified by GOS dietary fibres. CONCLUSIONS: The gut microbiota is a signature of the metabolic phenotypes independent of differences in host genetic background and diet.

Abstract

International audience; Salmonella enterica subspecies 1 serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) causes diarrhea and acute inflammation of the intestinal mucosa. The pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-17A and IL-17F are strongly induced in the infected mucosa but their contribution in driving the tissue inflammation is not understood. We have used the streptomycin mouse model to analyze the role of IL-17A and IL-17F and their cognate receptor IL-17RA in S. Typhimurium enterocolitis. Neutralization of IL-17A and IL-17F did not affect mucosal inflammation triggered by infection or spread of S. Typhimurium to systemic sites by 48 h p.i. Similarly, Il17ra(-/-) mice did not display any reduction in infection or inflammation by 12 h p.i. The same results were obtained using S. Typhimurium variants infecting via the TTSS1 type III secretion system, the TTSS1 effector SipA or the TTSS1 effector SopE. Moreover, the expression pattern of 45 genes encoding chemokines/cytokines (including CXCL1, CXCL2, IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-1α, IL-1β, IFNγ, CXCL-10, CXCL-9, IL-6, CCL3, CCL4) and antibacterial molecules was not affected by Il17ra deficiency by 12 h p.i. Thus, in spite of the strong increase in Il17a/Il17f mRNA in the infected mucosa, IL-17RA signaling seems to be dispensable for eliciting the acute disease. Future work will have to address whether this is attributable to redundancy in the cytokine signaling network.
