Background Sepsis triggers myocardial injury and dysfunction, leading to a high mortality rate in patients. Cardiomyocyte apoptosis plays a positive regulatory role in septic myocardial injury and dysfunction. However, the mechanism is unclear. Methods Bioinformatics analysis was used to identify differentially expressed genes in septic mice heart and validate key genes and pathways. The correlation of protein–protein and protein–pathway was analyzed. Sequentially, the cecal ligament and puncture (CLP) was used to induce septic mice, followed by Serpine1 inhibitor treatment. Finally, the regulatory relationship of Yes-associated protein1 (YAP1), Serpine1, and caspase-3 was verified in LPS-exposed mouse cardiomyocytes. Results Bioinformatic analysis found that Serpine1 expression is decreased in septic mice heart tissue and closely related to the HIPPO signaling pathway, while YAP1 is negatively correlated with apoptosis. In vivo, CLP induced a reduction of survival rate, cardiac dysfunction, and an increase in Serpine1 and Cleaved Caspase-3 expression, which could be reversed by a Serpine1 inhibitor. In vitro, LPS induced the mouse cardiomyocytes apoptosis, which could be reversed by Serpine1 inhibitor. Silencing YAP1 and Serpine1 reversed the LPS-induced increase in Serpine1 and Cleaved Caspase-3 expression, but silencing Serpine1 did not affect the LPS-induced YAP1 expression. Conclusion Sepsis induced mouse cardiomyocytes apoptosis and cardiac dysfunction through activation of YAP1/Serpine1/caspase-3 pathway.

Gut serves as the largest interface between humans and the environment, playing a crucial role in nutrient absorption and protection against harmful substances. The intestinal barrier acts as the initial defense mechanism against non-specific infections, with its integrity directly impacting the homeostasis and health of the human body. The primary factor attributed to the impairment of the intestinal barrier in previous studies has always centered on the gastrointestinal tract itself. In recent years, the concept of the “gut-organ” axis has gained significant popularity, revealing a profound interconnection between the gut and other organs. It speculates that disruption of these axes plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis and progression of intestinal barrier damage. The evaluation of intestinal barrier function and detection of enterogenic endotoxins can serve as “detecting agents” for identifying early functional alterations in the heart, kidney, and liver, thereby facilitating timely intervention in the disorders. Simultaneously, consolidating intestinal barrier integrity may also present a potential therapeutic approach to attenuate damage in other organs. Studies have demonstrated that diverse signaling pathways and their corresponding key molecules are extensively involved in the pathophysiological regulation of the intestinal barrier. Aberrant activation of these signaling pathways and dysregulated expression of key molecules play a pivotal role in the process of intestinal barrier impairment. Microgravity, being the predominant characteristic of space, can potentially exert a significant influence on diverse intestinal barriers. We will discuss the interaction between the “gut-organ” axes and intestinal barrier damage, further elucidate the signaling pathways underlying intestinal barrier damage, and summarize alterations in various components of the intestinal barrier under microgravity. This review aims to offer a novel perspective for comprehending the etiology and molecular mechanisms of intestinal barrier injury as well as the prevention and management of intestinal barrier injury under microgravity environment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
