Downregulation of TLR4‐dependent ATP production is critical for estrogen‐mediated immunoprotection in Kupffer cells following trauma‐hemorrhage

Abstract: Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) mediates mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage and biogenic responses. Mitochondrial transcription factor A (Tfam) is an essential regulator for mtDNA transcription and ATP production. Increased ATP levels were associated with normalization of immune function following trauma-hemorrhage. Moreover, administration of 17beta-estradiol following trauma-hemorrhage upregulates cardiac Tfam and ATP levels. We therefore hypothesized that the salutary effect of 17beta-estradiol on Kupffer cell fu… Show more

“…83 Chaudry and colleagues have found that estrogens have a positive effect on inflammation and hypermetabolism and improve survival in a trauma hemorrhage model. [84][85][86][87] In the present study, we found that estrogen was significantly decreased immediately after the injury but increased during hospital stay, while testosterone decreased and progesterone increased over time. Therefore, it would be interesting to investigate the effects of estrogen on the postburn response.…”

“…23 The results of the present study show that the ATP content of the kidneys in the shock group rats exhibited a downward trend at 90 min after hemorrhage and 0 h after resuscitation. We speculate that this trend may be related to hemorrhage-induced renal ischemia through the excitement of the sympathetic nerve and the adrenal medulla system, and the release of vasoactive substances; however, it needs new evidences.…”

“…Further, in vitro treatment of Kupffer cells with progesterone decreased TNF-α synthesis (107). In a recent study, it was found that Kupffer cell TLR4, iNOS, IL-6, and TNF-α production capacities were increased; and ATP, Tfam, and mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (mtCOI) levels were decreased following trauma-hemorrhage, whereas E2 administration normalized these levels (108). Furthermore, the decreased Kupffer cell ATP and mtCOI levels were not observed in TLR4 mutant mice following trauma-hemorrhage, suggesting that downregulation of TLR4-dependent ATP production is critical to E2-mediated immunoprotection in Kupffer cells following trauma-hemorrhage (108).…”

Activation of TLR4 initiates an inflammatory cascade involving activation of p38 MAPK, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), and NF-κB, leading to the release of proinflammatory cytokines (109)(110)(111).…”
