hyperoside and Sepsis

Sepsis mortality and morbidity are aggravated by acute lung injury (ALI) or acute respiratory distress syndrome. Published studies have discovered that hyperoside (HYP) has an anti-inflammatory and therapeutic effect in many diseases. However, whether HYP treatment can attenuate sepsis-induced ALI is still obscure.. In this study, a cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis mouse model was constructed. The mouse lungs were harvested and assessed using proteomics, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for pro-inflammatory cytokines. Human lung microvascular endothelial cells (HLMVECs) were induced with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for the. The results showed that HYP treatment attenuated sepsis-induced ALI through an increased survival rate, decreased inflammatory factor expression, and lung tissue apoptosis. At the same time, HYP pretreatment restored angiogenesis in CLP-induced mouse lung tissues. Proteomics detection showed that Atg13 played a vital role in HYP-mediated protection against sepsis-induced ALI. The. Taken together, we conclude that HYP attenuated sepsis-induced ALI by regulating autophagy and inhibiting inflammation.

Sepsis-associated cardiac dysfunction results in increased mortality. Hyperoside (Hyp) is a flavonoid, showing significant anti-inflammatory effects. However, its pharmacological effects on sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction remain unknown. In this study, we attempted to explore whether Hyp could prevent cardiac dysfunction and its underlying mechanisms.. We established a mice mode of sepsis by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) treatment, and constructed a cell model of myocardial injury by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. The cardiac function indicators and the inflammatory cytokine levels were measured. Effect of Hyp on cardiomyocyte viability was evaluated using MTT assay. The expression and functional role of microRNA-21 (miR-21), a documented molecule that regulated by Hyp, was evaluated in the constructed models, and the potential targets of miR-21 were predicted.. Hyp alleviated the impaired cardiac function and stimulated inflammation caused by CLP in the in vivo sepsis model, and alleviated the LPS-induced decrease in cell viability and increase in inflammation of cardiomyocytes. Additionally, Hyp significantly inhibited the expression of miR-21 in LPS-induced cardiomyocytes, and the increased cell viability and decreased inflammation caused by Hyp in the in vitro model could be reversed by miR-21 overexpression. In animal model of sepsis, the protective influence of Hyp against sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction was attenuated by miR-21 upregulation.. Our findings demonstrated that Hyp may serve as a promising natural drug for the treatment of sepsis-associated cardiac dysfunction, and its protective role may exerted through regulating cardiomyocyte viability and inflammation by suppressing miR-21.
