Although the accumulation of amyloidogenic proteins in neuroinflammatory
conditions is generally considered pathologic, in a murine model of multiple
sclerosis, amyloid-forming fibrils, comprised of hexapeptides, are
anti-inflammatory. Whether these molecules modulate systemic inflammatory
conditions remains unknown. We hypothesized that an amylin hexapeptide that forms
fibrils can attenuate the systemic inflammatory response in a murine model of
sepsis. To test this hypothesis, mice were pre-treated with either vehicle or
amylin hexapeptide (20 ?g) at 12 hours and 6 hours prior to intraperitoneal
(i.p.) lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 20 mg/kg) administration. Illness severity and
survival were monitored every 6 hours for 3 days. Levels of pro- (IL-6, TNF-?,
IFN-?) and anti-inflammatory (IL-10) cytokines were measured via ELISA at 1, 3,
6, 12, and 24 hours after LPS (i.p.). As a metric of lung injury, pulmonary
artery endothelial cell (PAEC) barrier function was tested 24 hours after LPS
administration by comparing lung wet-to-dry ratios, Evan's blue dye (EBD)
extravasation, lung histology and caspase-3 activity. Compared to controls,
pretreatment with amylin hexapeptide significantly reduced mortality (p<0.05 at
72 h), illness severity (p<0.05), and pro-inflammatory cytokine levels, while
IL-10 levels were elevated (p<0.05). Amylin pretreatment attenuated LPS-induced
lung injury, as demonstrated by decreased lung water and caspase-3 activity
(p<0.05, versus PBS). Hence, in a murine model of systemic inflammation,
pretreatment with amylin hexapeptide reduced mortality, disease severity, and
preserved lung barrier function. Amylin hexapeptide may represent a novel
therapeutic tool to mitigate sepsis severity and lung injury.
