Objective: To explore the application effect of optimized emergency nursing process in patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage. Methods: A total of 74 patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage admitted to the Emergency Department of Zhongda Hospital of Southeast University from March 2020 to January 2022 were selected as the study subjects.They were divided into an observation group and a control group based on a random number table method, with 37 patients in each group. The control group was given routine emergency nursing, while the observation group was given optimized emergency nursing process. The efficacy indicators of emergency care, the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS) score, systolic blood pressure(SBP), and diastolic blood pressure(DBP) were compared between the two groups. Results: The total time for triage and evaluation, emergency stay, electronic computed tomography examination, intravenous medication, and emergency treatment in the observation group was shorter than that in the control group, with statistically significant difference(P<0.05); After nursing,the NIHSS score in the two groups was lower than that before nursing, the NIHSS score in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, with statistically significant difference(P<0.05); After nursing, SBP and DBP in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, with statistically significant difference(P<0.05). Conclusion: The effect of optimized emergency nursing process for patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage is significant. It can shorten emergency time,improve neurological function of patients, and decrease the levels of blood pressure.
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) overproduction has been considered to contribute to inflammatory damage of glomerular mesangial cells (GMCs) in human mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis (MsPGN) and its rat model called Thy-1 nephritis (Thy-1N). However, the regulatory mechanisms of IL-6 expression in GMCs upon sublytic C5b-9 timulation remain poorly understood. We found that Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) bound to the IL-6 promoter (−618 to −126 nt) and activated IL-6 gene transcription. Furthermore, lysine residue 224 of KLF4 was acetylated by p300/CBP-associated factor (PCAF), which was important for KLF4-mediated transactivation. Moreover, lysine residue 5 on histone H2B and lysine residue 9 on histone H3 at the IL-6 promoter were also acetylated by PCAF, which resulted in an increase in IL-6 transcription. Besides, NF-κB activation promoted IL-6 expression by elevating the expression of PCAF. Overall, these findings suggest that sublytic C5b-9-induced the expression of IL-6 involves KLF4-mediated transactivation, PCAF-mediated acetylation of KLF4 and histones, and NF-κB activation in GMCs.

Rat Thy-1 nephritis (Thy-1N) is an experimental mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis (MsPGN) for studying human MsPGN. Although sublytic C5b-9 complex formation on glomerular mesangial cells (GMCs) and renal MCP-1 and RANTES production in rats with Thy-1N have been proved, the role and mechanism of MCP-1 or RANTES synthesis in GMCs induced by sublytic C5b-9 are poorly elucidated. In this study, we first found the expression of transcription factor (KLF6), co-activator (KAT7) and chemokines (MCP-1 and RANTES) was all up-regulated both in renal tissue of Thy-1N rats (in vivo) and in sublytic C5b-9-induced GMCs (in vitro). Further in vitro experiments revealed that KLF6 bound to MCP-1 promoter (-297 to -123 nt) and RANTES promoter (-343 to -191 nt), leading to MCP-1 and RANTES gene transcription. Meanwhile, KAT7 also bound to the same region of MCP-1 and RANTES promoter in a KLF6-dependent manner, and KLF6 was acetylated by KAT7 at lysine residue 100, which finally promoted MCP-1 and RANTES expression. Moreover, our in vivo experiments discovered that knockdown of renal KAT7 or KLF6 gene obviously reduced MCP-1 and RANTES production, GMCs proliferation, ECM accumulation, and proteinuria secretion in Thy-1N rats. Collectively, our study indicates that sublytic C5b-9-induced MCP-1 and RANTES synthesis is associated with KAT7-mediated KLF6 acetylation and elevated KLF6 transcriptional activity, which might provide a new insight into the pathogenesis of rat Thy-1N and human MsPGN.

Mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis (MsPGN) is characterized by the proliferation of glomerular mesangial cells (GMCs) and accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM), followed by glomerulosclerosis and renal failure of patients. Although our previous studies have demonstrated that sublytic C5b‐9 complex formed on the GMC membrane could trigger GMC proliferation and ECM expansion of rat Thy‐1 nephritis (Thy‐1N) as an animal model of MsPGN, their mechanisms are still not fully elucidated. In the present studies, we found that the levels of response gene to complement 32 (RGC‐32), myeloid zinc finger 1 (MZF1), phosphorylated extracellular signal‐regulated kinase 5 (phosphorylated ERK5, p‐ERK5), F‐box only protein 28 (FBXO28) and TNF receptor‐associated factor 6 (TRAF6) were all markedly up‐regulated both in the renal tissues of rats with Thy‐1N (in vivo) and in the GMCs upon sublytic C5b‐9 stimulation (in vitro). Further in vitro experiments revealed that up‐regulated FBXO28 and TRAF6 could form protein complex binding to ERK5 and enhance ERK5 K63‐ubiquitination and subsequent phosphorylation. Subsequently, ERK5 activation contributed to MZF1 expression and MZF1‐dependent RGC‐32 up‐regulation, finally resulting in GMC proliferative response. Furthermore, the MZF1‐binding element within RGC‐32 promoter and the functions of FBXO28 domains were identified. Additionally, knockdown of renal FBXO28, TRAF6, ERK5, MZF1 and RGC‐32 genes respectively markedly reduced GMC proliferation and ECM production in Thy‐1N rats. Together, these findings indicate that sublytic C5b‐9 induces GMC proliferative changes in rat Thy‐1N through ERK5/MZF1/RGC‐32 axis activated by the FBXO28‐TRAF6 complex, which might provide a new insight into MsPGN pathogenesis.

Sublytic C5b-9 formation on glomerular mesangial cells in rat Thy-1 nephritis (Thy-1N), a model of human mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis, is accompanied by the production of proinflammatory cytokines, but the relationship between sublytic C5b-9 and cytokine synthesis and the underlying mechanism remains unclear. To explore the problems mentioned above, in this study, we first examined the levels of proinflammatory ILs (e.g., IL-23 and IL-36a) as well as transcription factor (KLF4) and coactivator (PCAF) in the renal tissues of Thy-1N rats and in the glomerular mesangial cell line (HBZY-1) stimulated by sublytic C5b-9. Then, we further determined the role of KLF4 and PCAF in sublytic C5b-9-induced IL-23 and IL-36a production as well as the related mechanism. Our results showed that the levels of KLF4, PCAF, IL-23, and IL-36a were obviously elevated. Mechanistic investigation revealed that sublytic C5b-9 stimulation could increase IL-23 and IL-36a synthesis through KLF4 and PCAF upregulation, and KLF4 and PCAF could form a complex, binding to the IL-23 or IL-36a promoter in a KLF4-dependent manner, causing gene transcription. Importantly, KLF4 acetylation by PCAF contributed to sublytic C5b-9-induced IL-23 and IL-36a transcription. Besides, the KLF4 binding regions on IL-23 or IL-36a promoters and the KLF4 lysine site acetylated by PCAF were identified. Furthermore, silencing renal KLF4 or PCAF gene could significantly inhibit IL-23 or IL-36a secretion and tissue damage of Thy-1N rats. Collectively, these findings implicate that the KLF4/PCAF interaction and KLF4 acetylation by PCAF play a pivotal role in the sublytic C5b-9-mediated IL-23 and IL-36a production of Thy-1N rats.
目的:研究转录因子KLF4调控sublytic C5b-9刺激肾小球系膜细胞(glomerular mesangial cell,GMC)诱导促炎因子白介素-23(IL-23)生成的作用。方法:构建KLF4的短发夹状小干扰RNA(shKLF4)及过表达质粒(pIRES2-KLF4)。将pIRES2-KLF4或shKLF4转染GMC后再行sublytic C5b-9刺激,用qPCR、Western blot和ELISA法检查沉默或过表达KLF4基因后对GMC产生IL-23的影响。此外,构建IL-23基因近端启动子全长质粒,行荧光素酶报告基因实验测定沉默或过表达KLF4基因后对IL-23启动子活性的影响。结果:(1)Sublytic C5b-9刺激GMC后能明显促进IL-23的生成,而沉默KLF4基因后,由sublytic C5b-9诱导GMC产生的IL-23明显减少,但过表达KLF4后IL-23的水平则显著增加。(2)Sublytic C5b-9刺激GMC能显著上调IL-23的启动子活性,而沉默KLF4基因后由sublytic C5b-9诱导的IL-23启动子活性明显降低,但过表达KLF4后又能显著升高IL-23的启动子活性。结论:Sublytic C5b-9刺激诱导IL-23的生成可通过其刺激上调转录因子KLF4的表达而实现。
BACKGROUND/AIMS:The activation of complement system and the formation of C5b-9 complex have been confirmed in the glomeruli of patients with mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis (MsPGN). However, the role and mechanism of C5b-9-induced injury in glomerular mesangial cell (GMC) are poorly understood. Rat Thy-1N is an animal model for studying MsPGN. It has been revealed that the attack of C5b-9 to the GMC in rat Thy-1N is sublytic, and sublytic C5b-9 can cause GMC apoptosis, but the underlying mechanism is not fully elucidated. To explore the role and regulatory mechanism of C5b-9 in MsPGN lesion, we used rat Thy-1N model and first detected the change of microRNA (miRNA) profiles both in Thy-1N rat renal tissues (in vivo) and in the cultured GMCs with sublytic C5b-9 stimulation (in vitro). Then we determined the effect of miR-3546, which increased both in vivo and in vitro, on GMC apoptosis upon sublytic C5b-9 as well as the involved mechanism.METHODS:Rat Thy-1N model was established and GMCs were treated with sublytic C5b-9. The rat renal cortex and the stimulated GMCs were obtained for miRNA microarray detection. Subsequently, the increased miRNAs were verified by real-time PCR. Meanwhile, to ascertain the ability of some miRNAs to upregulate cleaved caspase 3 and induce GMC apoptosis, the corresponding miRNA mimics were transfected into GMCs, followed by western blotting (WB) and flow cytometry mesurement. Thereafter, the miR-3546-targeted gene (SOX4) was predicted using bioinformatics approaches, and SOX4 expression in Thy-1N tissues and in the GMCs upon sublytic C5b-9 stimulation or miR-3546 mimic/inhibitor transfection were detected using real-time PCR and WB. To prove that miR-3546 can affect SOX4 gene transcription and SOX4 can regulate survivin expression, dual luciferase reporter assay, real-time PCR, WB and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays were performed. Furthermore, the role of miR-3546/SOX4/survivin axis in the GMC apoptosis induced by sublytic C5b-9 was examined using WB and flow cytometry.RESULTS:Compared with normal renal tissues and untreated GMCs, there were 43 and 62 upregulated miRNAs (> 2-fold) in Thy-1N tissues and sublytic C5b-9-stimulated GMCs respectively. A total of 17 miRNAs were increased both in vivo and in vitro, 11 of which were validated by real-time PCR. Among them, miR-3546 could markedly promote GMC apoptosis and inhibit SOX4 or survivin expression in response to sublytic C5b-9, and either SOX4 or survivin overexpression markedly rescued the GMC apoptosis mediated by miR-3546 mimic. Additionally, SOX4 overexpression could reverse the survivin suppression by miR-3546 mimic, and SOX4 could bind to survivin promoter (-1,278 to -853 nt) and activate survivin gene transcription.CONCLUSION:MiR-3546/ SOX4/survivin axis has a promoting role in the GMC apoptosis triggered by sublytic C5b-9, and our findings may provide a new insight into the pathogenesis of rat Thy-1N and human MsPGN.

The apoptosis of glomerular mesangial cells (GMCs) in the early phase of rat Thy-1 nephritis (Thy-1N), a model of human mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis (MsPGN), is primarily triggered by sublytic C5b-9. However, the mechanism of GMC apoptosis induced by sublytic C5b-9 remains unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that expressions of TNFR1-associated death domain–containing protein (TRADD) and IFN regulatory factor–1 (IRF-1) were simultaneously upregulated in the renal tissue of Thy-1N rats (in vivo) and in GMCs under sublytic C5b-9 stimulation (in vitro). In vitro, TRADD was confirmed to be a downstream gene of IRF-1, because IRF-1 could bind to TRADD gene promoter to promote its transcription, leading to caspase 8 activation and GMC apoptosis. Increased phosphorylation of p38 MAPK was verified to contribute to IRF-1 and TRADD production and caspase 8 activation, as well as to GMC apoptosis induced by sublytic C5b-9. Furthermore, phosphorylation of MEK kinase 2 (MEKK2) mediated p38 MAPK activation. More importantly, three sites (Ser153/164/239) of MEKK2 phosphorylation were identified and demonstrated to be necessary for p38 MAPK activation. In addition, silencing of renal MEKK2, IRF-1, and TRADD genes or inhibition of p38 MAPK activation in vivo had obvious inhibitory effects on GMC apoptosis, secondary proliferation, and urinary protein secretion in rats with Thy-1N. Collectively, these findings indicate that the cascade axis of MEKK2–p38 MAPK–IRF-1–TRADD–caspase 8 may play an important role in GMC apoptosis following exposure to sublytic C5b-9 in rat Thy-1N.

The apoptosis of glomerular mesangial cells (GMCs) is considered to be an important contributor to the initiation and development of rat Thy-1 nephritis (Thy-1N) and is accompanied by sublytic C5b-9 deposition. However, the mechanism by which sublytic C5b-9 triggers GMC apoptosis has not been elucidated. In this study, functional and histological examinations were performed on GMCs treated with sublytic C5b-9 (in vitro) and renal tissues of Thy-1N rats (in vivo). The in vitro studies found that sublytic C5b-9 could trigger GMC apoptosis through upregulating Egr-1, ATF3, and Gadd45 expression. Egr-1-mediated post-transcriptional modulation of ATF3, Egr-1/ATF3-enhanced Gadd45 promoter activity, and p300-mediated ATF3 acetylation were all involved in GMC apoptosis. More importantly, the effective binding elements for Egr-1 and ATF3 to Gadd45β/γ promoters and the ATF3 acetylation site were identified. In vivo, silencing renal p300, Egr-1, ATF3, and Gadd45β/γ significantly decreased GMC apoptosis, secondary GMC proliferation, and urinary protein secretion in Thy-1N rats. Together, these findings implicate that sublytic C5b-9-induced activation of Egr-1/p300-ATF3/Gadd45 axis plays a critical role in GMC apoptosis in Thy-1N rats.
