Stress hormone secretion and gut signal transducer (STAT) proteins after burn injury in rats.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A burn injury triggers traumatic reactions characteristics of a stress. Here we investigated the early responses of prolactin (PRL), corticosterone (CS), and signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5) in male Sprague-Dawley rats after burn injury. PRL and CS levels were determined in blood serum. STAT5 and phospho-STAT5 levels were determined in jejunum total protein extracts. The results confirmed an expected increase of CS between 4 and 6 h after the burn injury. Unexpectedly, PRL secretion was suppressed during the same time frame. These hormone levels returned to normal 6 to 8 h after burn injury. STAT5 was increased in the jejunum after burn injury, and its phosphorylation was increased between 8 and 11 h after burn injury. These changes in STAT5 were not temporally correlated with either the hormone changes that we observed or with previously documented changes of the gut function after burns.

JAK-STAT pathway and JAK inhibitors: a primer for dermatologists
Background: All cellular events depend upon the DNA synthesis and gene expression involving complex interplay between ligands such as interleukins and interferons, with various cell membrane receptors. These ligand-receptors interactions transmit signals within the cell via numerous signal transduction pathways to affect gene expression. Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcrip...
متن کاملDifferential activation of the Stat signaling pathway in the liver after burn injury.
The liver plays a crucial role in the acute phase response after injury; mechanisms responsible for transducing inflammatory signals to the nucleus to initiate this response are not known. The purpose of this study was to examine the induction of the novel Stat (signal transducer and activator of transcription) pathway in the liver after burn injury. Rats were subjected to either a 60% burn or ...
متن کاملHemin Induces the Activation of NLRP3 Inflammasome in N9 Microglial Cells
Background: Hemin is an important sterile component that induces a neuroinflammatory response after intracerebral hemorrhage, in which NLRP3 inflammasome activation has also proved to be involved. Although microglial activation acts as a key contributor in the neuroinflammatory response, the relationship between hemin and NLRP3 in microglia remains poorly understood. Objective: To investigate w...
متن کاملGut-associated lymphoid T cell suppression enhances bacterial translocation in alcohol and burn injury.
The mechanism of alcohol-mediated increased infection in burn patients remains unknown. With the use of a rat model of acute alcohol and burn injury, the present study ascertained whether acute alcohol exposure before thermal injury enhances gut bacterial translocation. On day 2 postinjury, we found a severalfold increase in gut bacterial translocation in rats receiving both alcohol and burn in...
متن کاملIntraluminal Flagellin Differentially Contributes to Gut Dysbiosis and Systemic Inflammation following Burn Injury
Burn injury is associated with a loss of gut barrier function, resulting in systemic dissemination of gut-derived bacteria and their products. The bacterial protein and TLR5 agonist, flagellin, induces non-specific innate immune responses. Because we detected flagellin in the serum of burn patients, we investigated whether gut-derived flagellin was a primary or secondary contributor to intestin...
