UMI-77 Modulates the Complement Cascade Pathway and Inhibits Inflammatory Factor Storm in Sepsis Based on TMT Proteomics and Inflammation Array Glass Chip.

ABSTRACT

Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response syndrome caused by infection, which has no specific drug at present. UMI-77 can significantly improve the survival rate of septic mice; the detailed role of UMI-77 and its underlying mechanisms in sepsis are not clear. Inflammation array glass chip and proteomic analyses were performed to elucidate the latent mechanism of UMI-77 in the treatment of sepsis. The results showed that 7.0 mg/kg UMI-77 improved the 5 day survival rate in septic mice compared to the LPS group (60.964 vs 9.779%) and ameliorated the pathological conditions. Inflammation array glass chip analysis showed that sepsis treatment with UMI-77 may eventually through the suppression of the characteristic inflammatory storm-related cytokines such as KC, RANTES, LIX, IL-6, eotaxin, TARC, IL-1ß, and so on. Proteomics analysis showed that 213 differential expression proteins and complement and coagulation cascades were significantly associated with the process for the UMI-77 treatment of sepsis. The top 10 proteins including Apoa2, Tgfb1, Serpinc1, Vtn, Apoa4, Cat, Hp, Serpinf2, Fgb, and Serpine1 were identified and verified, which play important roles in the mechanism of UMI-77 in the treatment of sepsis. Our findings indicate that UMI-77 exerts an antisepsis effect by modulating the complement cascade pathway and inhibiting inflammatory storm factors.
