Background: Molecular hydrogen (H) has been used in clinical cases. However, there are few studies of H therapy to treat sepsis, and anti-inflammatory mechanisms of H are mostly unknown. We aimed to confirm effects of H therapy on sepsis and reveal its therapeutic mechanism via RNA sequencing in multiple organs in septic mice.
Methods: Nine-week-old C57BL/6 male mice underwent cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) or sham procedure. Subsequently, the CLP model received immediate ± continuous inhalation of 7% H. Mice were observed for a week to assess survival rates. Serum inflammatory cytokines were evaluated at 24 h after CLP procedure. Liver, intestine, and lungs in CLP mice receiving 24-h ± H therapy were assessed by RNA sequencing. Data were analyzed with Ingenuity Pathways Analysis (QIAGEN Inc).
Results: Seven-day survival rate in septic mice was significantly improved in the H inhalation group compared with that in the control group (75% versus 40%, P < 0.05). H treatment attenuated serum interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α levels at 24 h after CLP, and blood glucose levels were maintained in the H-treated group. In RNA sequencing, canonical pathway analysis revealed inactivity of various inflammatory signaling pathways, for example, acute phase response signaling and STAT3 pathways, in the liver and intestine in the CLP model after 24-h H inhalation. We detected significantly decreased expressions of upstream regulator genes such as the CD14 antigen gene in the liver and various cytokine receptor genes in the intestine and lungs in the H-treated group.
Conclusions: These findings may contribute to clarifying the mechanism of action of H therapy in sepsis.

Aims: This study investigated the protective role of Annexin A1 (ANXA1) in sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) by examining its effects on brain vascular endothelium and blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity.
Methods: Mice were divided into four groups: wild type (WT), cecal ligation and puncture (CLP), ANXA1 knockout (ANXA1[-/-]), and ANXA1(-/-) with CLP. Neurobehavioral changes were assessed using the Y-maze test, while BBB integrity was evaluated through Evans blue dye (EBD) staining and permeability tests with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-dextran.
Aloe-emodin plus TIENAM ameliorate cecal ligation and puncture-induced sepsis in mice by attenuating inflammation and modulating microbiota.

Despite the high sepsis-associated mortality, effective and specific treatments remain limited. Using conventional antibiotics as TIENAM (imipenem and cilastatin sodium for injection, TIE) is challenging due to increasing bacterial resistance, diminishing their efficacy and leading to adverse effects. We previously found that aloe-emodin (AE) exerts therapeutic effects on sepsis by reducing systemic inflammation and regulating the gut microbiota.

Cytokine storm is a hallmark for acute systemic inflammatory disease like sepsis. Intrinsic microbiome-derived short-chain fatty acid (SCFAs) like acetate modulates immune cell function and metabolism has been well studied. However, it remains poorly investigated about the effects and the underlying mechanism of exogenous acetate in acute inflammation like sepsis.

Objectives: To investigate the inhibitory effect of GSK484, a PAD4 inhibitor, on H3Cit expression following sepsis and its effects for improving sepsis-induced endothelial dysfunction.
Methods: Eighteen C57BL/6 mice were randomized into sham-operated group, sepsis model group and GSK484 treatment group (6), and in the latter two groups, models of sepsis were established by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). The mice in GSK484 treatment group were given an intraperitoneal injection of GSK484 (4 mg/kg) on the second day following the surgery.

Background And Purpose: Sepsis is a condition capable of causing systemic inflammation and metabolic reprogramming. Previous studies have shown that sinomenine (SIN) can mitigate sepsis by reducing inflammation, while the effect on metabolic reprogramming is unclear. The aim of this study is to investigate the function of SIN in metabolic reprogramming in sepsis.
