Protective role of crocin against sepsis-induced injury in the liver, kidney and lungs via inhibition of p38 MAPK/NF-κB and Bax/Bcl-2 signalling pathways

Abstract: Context Crocin has been reported to have multiple bioactivities. However, the effect of crocin administration on caecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis remains unknown. Objective We investigated the effects of crocin on CLP-induced sepsis in mice and the underlying mechanism of action. Materials and methods Five experimental groups ( n = 10) of BALB/c mice were used: control, CLP (normal saline) and CLP +… Show more

“…This gene has been found to mediate activation of MAPK8 and MAP kinase p38 [ 27 , 28 ]. Consistent with our findings, p38 MAPK is involved in the development of sepsis-related multiple organ failure, including AKI [ 29 31 ]. It would be reasonable to hypothesize that inhibition of this pathway may protect against AKI.…”

“…The MAPK pathway is one of the most important signal transduction pathways in cell proliferation, inflammation, differentiation, and apoptosis [42]. Recent studies have emphasized that activation of the MAPK pathway is involved in regulating inflammatory responses in sepsis-induced organ dysfunction [43,44]. In addition, ROS generation and 4-HNE accumulation are both efficient mediators of MAPK pathway activation [45][46][47].…”

“…Then, large number of proinflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1 and IL-6, and chemokines are produced, which induces inflammatory response and aggravates kidney injury. 36 A study has stated that the binding of FGF23 to FGFR and Klotho initiates the MAPK signalling pathway, thereby regulating phosphate metabolism in the kidney. 37 In this paper, the increased p-p38/p38 ratio in AKI rats indicated the MAPK signalling pathway activation.…”

“…Activation of the MAPK signalling pathway promotes macrophage survival and accumulation. Then, large number of pro‐inflammatory cytokines, such as IL‐1 and IL‐6, and chemokines are produced, which induces inflammatory response and aggravates kidney injury 36 .
