Gut I/R often leads to acute lung injury (ALI), a major contributor to mortality. Milk fat globule-epidermal growth factor-factor VIII-derived oligopeptide-3 (MOP3) is a novel peptide that attenuates sepsis by opsonizing eCIRP and facilitating its phagocytic clearance. We hypothesized that MOP3 reduces inflammation, mitigates gut and lung injury, and improves survival in gut I/R injury. Methods: Phagocytosis of FITC-labeled eCIRP by intestinal epithelial cells was determined by confocal microscopy, and the cell supernatant was evaluated for cytokine expression by ELISA. Adult C57BL/6 mice underwent 60 min of gut ischemia via superior mesenteric artery occlusion followed by reperfusion. Mice were treated with MOP3 or vehicle via retro-orbital injection at the time of reperfusion. At 4 h post-I/R, blood, gut, and lungs were harvested for further assay. In additional mice, 36-h survival was assessed. Plasma levels of injury and inflammatory markers were measured with colorimetry and ELISA, respectively. Tissue mRNA expression was measured with qPCR. Myeloperoxidase (MPO), TUNEL, histologic injury, and ZO-1 immunohistochemistry assessments were performed. Results: MOP3 significantly increased eCIRP phagocytosis by intestinal epithelial cells ( P < 0.01) and decreased IL-6 release ( P < 0.001). Gut I/R caused elevated plasma eCIRP levels. MOP3 treatment significantly reduced plasma levels of IL-1β ( P < 0.01), IL-6 ( P < 0.05), and lactate dehydrogenase ( P < 0.05) along with a significant decrease in gut ( P < 0.05) and lung ( P < 0.001) injury scores as well as gut cell death ( P < 0.05). Moreover, MOP3 reduced pulmonary levels of chemokines and the granulocyte activation marker MPO after gut I/R. Mechanistically, ZO-1 expression in the gut was decreased following gut I/R injury, whereas MOP3 significantly reversed the decrease in ZO-1 mRNA expression ( P < 0.001). Finally, mice treated with MOP3 exhibited a significant decrease in mortality ( P < 0.05). Conclusions: Treatment with MOP3 effectively mitigates organ injury induced by gut I/R. This beneficial effect is attributed to the facilitation of eCIRP clearance, directing the potential of MOP3 as an innovative therapeutic approach for this critical and often fatal condition.</p>","PeriodicalId":21667,"journal":{"name":"SHOCK","volume":" ","pages":"101-109"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142044141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Demographic data, advanced life support interventions, and outcomes were collected. Each organ failure was then analyzed during a 7-day trauma course according to the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score. Results: Of the 100 patients who met the inclusion criteria, those with persistent MOF at day 4 (MOF group) represented 22% of the total population (median Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score 6.0 [5.3-8.0]).

Blood cells abnormalities play a significant role in the onset and progression of sepsis; however, the potential causal relationship between platelets and sepsis remains unclear, as does whether immune cells mediate the interaction between platelets and sepsis. This study aims to explore the potential causal relationship between platelets and sepsis and analyze the mediating effect of immune cells. In addition, cell-to-cell communication was analyzed to explore the interaction between blood cells and immune cells.Material and methods In this study, genome-wide association study (GWAS) data were utilized to examine the association between blood cells and sepsis. Two-sample mendelian randomisation (MR) and reverse MR were performed to investigate the potential causal relationship between blood cells and sepsis, with a specific focus on the relationship between platelets and sepsis. Subsequently, two-step MR was employed to identify the immune cells that mediate the interaction between platelets and sepsis and to assess their potential mediating effects. Cellchat software was used to analyze cell-to-cell communication.Results The results of two-sample MR indicated that platelets were negatively correlated with sepsis (OR = 0.976, 95% CI 0.959-0.993, p = 0.005), suggesting that platelets have a protective effect against sepsis. Additionally, reverse MR demonstrated that sepsis had no significant effect on platelets (OR = 0.909, 95% CI 0.156-5.296, p = 0.916). The mediating effect analysis revealed that monocytes and B cells were important mediators in the relationship between platelets and sepsis. Notably, the correlation between platelets and sepsis shifted from negative to positive with the involvement of monocytes and B cells. The number and strength of cell-cell interactions were decreased in sepsis. Monocytes and B cells primarily regulate platelets through the CLEC signaling pathway, contributing to the pathogenesis of sepsis.Conclusion This study confirmed the protective role of platelets in sepsis. Monocytes and B cells mediate changes in the genetic association between platelets and sepsis. Monocytes and B cells primarily interact with platelets via the CLEC pathway, thereby modulating the genetic association between platelets and sepsis. These findings indicate that thrombocytopenia, especially when accompanied by elevated monocytes and B cells, may serve as a potential marker for sepsis.</p>","PeriodicalId":21667,"journal":{"name":"SHOCK","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142922556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Information on its prognostic factors remains largely understudied, and it is necessary to focus on these patients to identify the specific risk factors. In this study, we aimed to build and validate a predictive nomogram and risk classification system.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>1298 patients and 548 patients with CS from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) and MIMIC-III databases were included in the study after excluding patients with acute myocardial infarction. Lasson and logistic regression analysis were used to identify statistically significant predictors which were finally involved in the nomogram. The predictive performance of the nomogram was validated by calibration plots and was compared with other scoring systems by AUC and DCA curves.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Age, heart rate, WBC count, albumin level, lactic acid level, GCS Score, 24 h urine output, and vasopressor use were identified as the most critical factors for in-hospital death. Based on these results, a nomogram was established for predicting in-hospital mortality. The AUC value of the nomogram was 0.806 in the training group and 0.814 and 0.730 in the internal and external validation sets, respectively, which were significantly higher than those of other commonly used Intensive Care Unit scoring systems (SAPSII, APSIII, and SOFA).In addition, the survival curve showed significant differences in the 30-day survival of the three risk subgroups divided by the nomogram.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>For non-AMI associated CS, a predictive nomogram and risk classification system were developed and validated, and the nomogram demonstrated good performance in prognostic prediction and risk stratification.</p>","PeriodicalId":21667,"journal":{"name":"SHOCK","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142814215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
