Zusammenfassung: | The immune response gene 1 (IRG1) and its metabolite itaconate are implicated in modulating inflammation and oxidative stress, with potential relevance to sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction (SIMD). This study investigates their roles in SIMD using both in vivo and in vitro models. Mice were subjected to lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced sepsis, and cardiac function was assessed in IRG1 knockout (IRG1-/-) and wild-type mice. Exogenous 4-octyl itaconate (4-OI) supplementation was also examined for its protective effects. In vitro, bone marrow-derived macrophages and RAW264.7 cells were treated with 4-OI following Nuclear factor, erythroid 2 like 2 (NRF2)-small interfering RNA administration to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Our results indicate that IRG1 deficiency exacerbates myocardial injury during sepsis, while 4-OI administration preserves cardiac function and reduces inflammation. Mechanistic insights reveal that 4-OI activates the NRF2/HO-1 pathway, promoting macrophage polarization and attenuating inflammation. These findings underscore the protective role of the IRG1/itaconate axis in SIMD and suggest a therapeutic potential for 4-OI in modulating macrophage responses. |
