The Anti-Inflammatory Role of Bilirubin on “Two-Hit” Sepsis Animal Model
2020
Overview
Introduction: Bilirubin is a product of the heme catabolism pathway, and it is excreted in bile and removed from the body through the urine. Bilirubin has potent antioxidant properties but also plays a role in anti-inflammation by protecting the body against endotoxin-induced lung inflammation, down-regulating the expression of adhesion molecules, and inhibiting the infiltration of inflammatory cells. Thus, bilirubin is a promising agent that could use in inflammation disease treatment. The application of bilirubin on the “two-hit” sepsis animal model has been, to date, unknown. Methods: we used lipopolysaccharide to induce initial insults in C57BL/6 mice. After 24 h, mice underwent cecal ligation and puncture to induce the “two-hit” sepsis model. Next, mice were administered 30 mg/kg bilirubin and we observed an improvement. Results: We observed that bilirubin inhibited the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, while the levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines were significantly augmented in the lung. Bilirubin improved the survival rate in the sepsis model. Furthermore, we suggest that bilirubin can modulate the accumulation of T-regulatory cells and myeloid-derived suppressor cells. Notably, bilirubin suppressed the activation and functions of T-cells. Conclusions: These results clarified that bilirubin might improve tissue injury in sepsis through anti-inflammatory mechanisms.
