Our previous research demonstrated that sepsis produces mitochondrial dysfunction with increased mitochondrial oxidative stress in the heart. The present study investigated the role of mitochondria-localized signaling molecules, tyrosine kinase Src and tyrosine phosphatase SHP2, in sepsis-induced
BACKGROUND
The influence of sepsis on the expression and activity of hepatic glucose-6-phosphatase (Glu-6-Pase) was examined during the early hyperglycemic phase and the later hypoglycemic phase.
METHODS
Sepsis was induced in anesthetized, fasted rats by cecal ligation and puncture, and liver
In the present study, rat cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) phospholamban (PLB) phosphatase was partially purified by chromatography on DEAE-Sephacel. This PLB phosphatase was indentical to phosphatase-1. It was shown on electrophoresis of SDS-PAGE autoradiography that the PLB phosphatase in rats
Alkaline phosphatase (AP) is a phosphate transferase present in bacteria and eukaryotes. In previous studies, we have shown that AP is able to dephosphorylate lipopolysaccharide (LPS) at physiological pH levels. Because LPS is the causative agent of gram-negative sepsis, we hypothesize that AP might
Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with a high attributable mortality and an increased risk of developing chronic kidney failure in survivors. As a successful therapy is, as yet, unavailable, a pharmacological treatment option is clearly warranted. Recently, two small phase II
Sepsis results from a dysregulation of the regulatory mechanisms of the pro- and anti-inflammatory response to invading pathogens. The mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase cascades are key signal transduction pathways involved in the cellular production of cytokines. The dual-specific phosphatase
Currently there are no pharmacological therapies licensed to treat sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (AKI). Considering the high incidence and mortality of sepsis-associated AKI, there is an urgent medical need to develop effective pharmacological interventions. Two phase II clinical trials
Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) play a critical role in inflammation. Although activation of MAPK in inflammatory cells has been studied extensively, much less is known about the inactivation of these kinases. MAPK phosphatase 5 (MKP5) is a member of the dual-specificity phosphatase family
OBJECTIVE
Alkaline phosphatase (AP) attenuates inflammatory responses by lipopolysaccharide detoxification and may prevent organ damage during sepsis. To investigate the effect of AP in patients with severe sepsis or septic shock on acute kidney injury.
METHODS
A multicenter double-blind,
Hyperglycemia is a common feature of septic patients and has been associated with poor outcome and high mortality. In contrast, insulin has been shown to decrease mortality and to prevent the incidence of multiorgan failure but is often associated with deleterious hypoglycemia. Protein Tyrosine
Sepsis in rats decreases the hepatic expression of the gluconeogenic enzyme glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase). The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship among G6Pase transcription, mRNA, enzymatic activity, and serum glucose levels at different intervals during mild or fulminant sepsis.
Microcirculatory dysfunction may cause tissue malperfusion and progression to organ failure in the later stages of sepsis, but the role of smooth muscle contractile dysfunction is uncertain. Mice were given intraperitoneal LPS, and mesenteric arteries were harvested at 6-h intervals for analyses of
BACKGROUND
Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs in 55-60% of critically ill patients, and sepsis is the most common underlying cause. No pharmacological treatment options are licensed to treat sepsis-associated AKI (SA-AKI); only supportive renal replacement therapy (RRT) is available. One of the
BACKGROUND
Protein phosphatase type 2A (PP2A) can downregulate c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) expression in monocytes stimulated by lipopolysaccharide. However, this effect has not been evaluated in patients with sepsis. We sought to determine whether PP2A/JNK pathway is involved in sepsis and
We recently reported that adoptively transferred (AT) exogenous CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) to wild-type (WT) mice can directly act to repress shock/sepsis-induced experimental indirect acute lung injury (iALI), and this is mediated in part by programmed cell death receptor 1 (PD-1). In
