Abstract EN
The involvement of toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9), a receptor for bacterial DNA, in septic cardiac depression has not been clarified in vivo.
Thus, the aim of the study was to test possible TLR9 inhibitors (H154-thioate, IRS954-thioate, and chloroquine) for their ability to protect the cardiovascular system in a murine model of CpG oligodeoxynucleotide- (ODN-) dependent systemic inflammation.
Sepsis was induced by i.p.
application of the TLR9 agonist 1668-thioate in C57BL/6 wild type (WT) and TLR9-deficient (TLR9-D) mice.
Thirty minutes after stimulation TLR9 antagonists were applied i.v.
Survival was monitored up to 18 h after stimulation.
Cardiac mRNA expression of inflammatory mediators was analyzed 2 h and 6 h after stimulation with 1668-thioate and hemodynamic parameters were monitored at the later time point.
Stimulation with 1668-thioate induced a severe sepsis-like state with significant drop of body temperature and significantly increased mortality in WT animals.
Additionally, there was a time-dependent increase of inflammatory mediators in the heart accompanied by development of septic heart failure.
These effects were not observed in TLR9-D mice.
Inhibition of TLR9 by the suppressive ODN H154-thioate significantly ameliorated cardiac inflammation, preserved cardiac function, and improved survival.
This suppressive ODN was the most efficient inhibitor of the tested substances.
