Background Alcohol intake predisposes to infections and sepsis. Alcohol and sepsis inhibit the expression of milk fat globule epidermal growth factor-factor VIII (MFG-E8), a glycoprotein essential for optimal efferocytosis, resulting in the release of proinflammatory molecules and increased sepsis severity. We previously reported that recombinant mouse (rm) MFG-E8 attenuates sepsis-induced organ injury...
Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury, commonly caused by major operation and shock, leads to acute kidney injury and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Cold-inducible ribonucleic acid-binding protein, a cold shock protein, has recently been identified as a damage-associated molecular pattern. We hypothesized that cold-inducible ribonucleic acid-binding protein exacerbates severity of injury...
Sepsis is a major healthcare concern, especially in the elderly population. The use of an animal model closely resembling clinical conditions in this population may provide a better prediction in translating bench studies to the bedside. Ghrelin inhibits sympathetic nerve activity and inflammation in young septic animals; however, aged animals become hyporesponsive to ghrelin. In this study, we evaluated...
