Multi-organ Inflammatory Responses after Burn Trauma

烧伤后多器官炎症反应

基本信息

项目摘要

Burn is a form of traumatic injury that affects more than just the skin and can cause damage to multiple organ systems. Of the one million people per year who suffer burn injuries in the United States, 40,000 are admitted to hospitals. Remarkably, about half of those patients are intoxicated at the time of injury. Burn patients who were intoxicated when they sustained their injuries have increased morbidity and mortality compared to burn patients who had not been drinking. The lung is the most frequent organ to fail after a remote injury such as cutaneous burn, with 45% of burn patients showing some form of lung damage even in the absence of inhalation injury. Pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are among the major complications seen in intoxicated burn patients. However, little is known about the mechanism by which alcohol intoxication modulates systemic inflammatory responses that lead to excessive pulmonary inflammation and increased susceptibility to lung infection and damage in burn victims. Evidence suggests that reduced integrity of the epithelial barrier of the gut secondary to burn injury plays a critical role in this process. Burn trauma and alcohol intoxication independently reduce the intestinal barrier integrity by altering the localization of epithelial tight junction proteins. Following the dual insult of alcohol intoxication and burn injury, the responses are compounded (additively, if not synergistically). The result is a more dramatic release of bacterial products and endotoxins into the portal and systemic circulation, triggering the so-called “cytokine storm” characteristic of injury-induced systemic inflammation. From these observations, we hypothesize that after burn injury, 1) intestinal dysfunction, including a breach in the integrity of the intestinal epithelial barrier, mediates the observed multi-organ complications, 2) that these changes can be monitored by measuring biomarkers of intestinal damage and inflammation in the blood, and that 3) gut-directed therapies will restore intestinal and systemic homeostasis improving the function of distal organs such as the lung. To test this hypothesis, first, in Aim 1, we will examine whether intestinal barrier dysregulation in the setting of alcohol intoxication and burn injury precedes pulmonary inflammation and if the intestinal barrier changes can be followed over time using a panel of blood-borne biomarkers. In Aim 2, we will investigate whether restoration of intestinal barrier integrity attenuates systemic and pulmonary indices of inflammation in our mouse model of alcohol intoxication and burn injury and whether repairing the intestinal barrier improves the pulmonary response to an infection. Lastly, in Aim 3, we will study burn patients, with and without recent alcohol intoxication, longitudinally to determine if the superimposed impact of burn injury with alcohol abuse alters intestinal barrier dysregulation to a greater extent than burn or alcohol alone. Moreover, we will see if there is a relationship between intestinal dysregulation and systemic and pulmonary inflammation. In this aim, we will also assess circulating biomarkers of inflammation and intestinal barrier damage and determine if they can be used to predict acute hypoxic respiratory failure and poor responses following pulmonary infections. Taken together, these studies will expand on the limited knowledge of how alcohol intoxication alters the gut intestinal barrier in the context of burn trauma. Studies targeting the gut in our animal model can serve as the first step in developing novel therapeutic interventions for the treatment of patients with burn injuries in active military and veteran populations. Moreover, this work has implications that extend beyond burn injury as intestinal barrier dysfunction may play a role in non-burn injury related disorders ranging from traumatic brain injury to post-traumatic stress disorder.
烧伤是一种创伤性损伤,不仅影响皮肤,还可能导致多器官损伤 系统.在美国,每年有一百万人遭受烧伤,其中有四万人入院治疗。 到医院值得注意的是,这些患者中约有一半在受伤时处于醉酒状态。烧伤患者, 与烧伤相比, 没有喝酒的病人。肺是最常见的器官衰竭后,远程损伤,如 皮肤烧伤,45%的烧伤患者显示出某种形式的肺损伤,即使在没有 吸入性损伤肺炎和急性呼吸窘迫综合征(ARDS)是主要的 中毒性烧伤患者的并发症。然而,人们对这种机制知之甚少, 酒精中毒调节全身炎症反应, 炎症和增加对肺部感染和损伤的易感性。证据表明 继发于烧伤的肠上皮屏障的完整性降低在该过程中起关键作用。 烧伤创伤和酒精中毒通过改变肠屏障的完整性, 上皮紧密连接蛋白的定位。在酒精中毒和烧伤的双重折磨下, 这些反应是复合的(如果不是协同的,也是相加的)。其结果是一个更戏剧性的释放, 细菌产物和内毒素进入门静脉和体循环,引发所谓的“细胞因子 风暴”特征的损伤引起的全身性炎症。根据这些观察,我们假设, 烧伤后,1)肠功能障碍,包括肠上皮完整性的破坏 屏障,介导观察到的多器官并发症,2)这些变化可以通过监测 测量血液中肠道损伤和炎症的生物标志物,以及3)肠道定向 治疗将恢复肠道和全身的稳态,改善远端器官的功能 例如肺。为了验证这一假设,首先,在目标1中,我们将检查肠屏障是否 在酒精中毒和烧伤的情况下,调节失调先于肺部炎症,如果 可以使用一组血液传播的生物标志物随时间跟踪肠屏障的变化。在目标2中,我们将 研究肠屏障完整性的恢复是否减弱了全身和肺部的 炎症在我们的酒精中毒和烧伤小鼠模型和是否修复肠道 屏障改善肺部对感染的反应。最后,在目标3中,我们将研究烧伤患者, 没有最近的酒精中毒,纵向确定烧伤的叠加影响, 酒精滥用改变肠屏障失调的程度大于烧伤或单独的酒精。此外,委员会还认为, 我们将了解肠道失调与全身和肺部疾病之间是否存在关系, 炎症为此,我们还将评估炎症和肠道屏障的循环生物标志物 并确定它们是否可用于预测急性缺氧性呼吸衰竭和不良反应 肺部感染后。总之,这些研究将扩大对如何 在烧伤创伤的情况下,酒精中毒改变了肠道屏障。针对我们的肠道的研究 动物模型可以作为开发新的治疗干预措施的第一步, 现役军人和退伍军人中的烧伤患者。此外,这项工作的影响, 因为肠屏障功能障碍可能在非烧伤损伤相关疾病中起作用 从创伤性脑损伤到创伤后应激障碍。
