Clinical Trial Summary

Sepsis is the most frequent risk factor for ALI/ARDS. Meanwhile, Pulmonary is the most vulnerable organ to fail in response to sepsis, vascular endothelial dysfunction is a central event in the pathophysiology of sepsis. An improved understanding of endothelial response and associated biomarkers may lead to strategies to more accurately predict outcome and develop novel endothelium-directed therapies in sepsis.

The human and mouse R-spondins encode a family of proteins that includes four paralogs (R-spo1-4). R-spondins are secreted proteins found primarily in the extracellular region and are known to promote β-catenin signaling. Among them, the embryonic lethal vascular remodeling phenotype of R-spondin3 (Rspo3) mutant mice suggests a role of EC derived Rspo3 in angiogenesis. Rspo3 protects tissues against mesenteric I/R by tightening endothelial cell junction and improving vascular intergrity. However, the role of Rspo3 in sepsis-induced pulmonary endothelial dysfunction remains unclear. Thus, it is worthwhile to explore the relationship between Rspo3 and sepsis-induced lung injury, which will be helpful for prevention and treatment of sepsis-induced lung injury and endothelial dysfunction.


Description:

Acute lung injury (ALI) or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), is a clinical problem induced by acute and excessive pulmonary inflammation. Sepsis is the most frequent risk factor for ALI/ARDS. Meanwhile, Pulmonary is the most vulnerable organ to fail in response to sepsis, and a major cause of death for sepsis patients is respiratory failure. Despite modern clinical practices in critical care medicine, there still remains a mortality rate as high as 45%. In addition, Vascular endothelial dysfunction is a central event in the pathophysiology of sepsis. Endothelial cell activation is associated with sepsis severity, organ dysfunction and mortality. An improved understanding of endothelial response and associated biomarkers may lead to strategies to more accurately predict outcome and develop novel endothelium-directed therapies in sepsis.

The human and mouse R-spondins encode a family of proteins that includes four paralogs (R-spo1-4). R-spondins are secreted proteins found primarily in the extracellular region and are known to promote β-catenin signaling. Among them, the embryonic lethal vascular remodeling phenotype of R-spondin3 (Rspo3) mutant mice suggests a role of EC derived Rspo3 in angiogenesis. Former studies demonstrated that endothelial Rspo3 enhances cell autonomous non-canonical Wnt signaling, thereby preventing retinal and tumor blood vessel regression and EC apoptosis. The mid-gestational lethality of Rspo3-ECKO mice indicated a role of EC-derived RSPO3 in controlling blood vessel remodeling. Furthermore, Rspo3 protects tissues against mesenteric I/R by tightening endothelial cell junction and improving vascular intergrity. However, the role of Rspo3 in sepsis-induced pulmonary endothelial dysfunction remains unclear. Thus, it is worthwhile to explore the relationship between Rspo3 and sepsis-induced lung injury.

In the present study, the investigators will analyze the expression of Rspo3 in septic patients and sepsis-induced lung injury models and explore whether Rspo3 could protect sepsis-associated lung injury, which will be helpful for prevention and treatment of sepsis-induced lung injury and endothelial dysfunction.
