Background: Pneumonia remains a common complication in trauma patients. Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is an anti-inflammatory NAD + -dependent deacetylase that has been shown to reduce the severity of ARDS in polymicrobial sepsis. The impact of SIRT1 in acute pneumonia, however, remains unknown. We hypothesized that SIRT1 deletion in pneumonia would worsen the inflammatory response and clinical severity, and that increased SIRT1 expression would be protective.
Methods: Ten- to 14-week-old male and female SIRT1 knockout (S1KO) mice, SIRT1 overexpressor (S1OE) mice, and their wildtype (WT) littermates underwent intra-tracheal inoculation with Pseudomonas aeruginosa . Rectal temperature was recorded, SIRT1 lung protein was quantified by western blotting, Sirt1 mRNA was measured by qPCR, and lung leukocyte subpopulations were analyzed by flow cytometry. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA using Prism software.
Results: Pneumonia created a functional SIRT1 knockdown in the lungs of WT mice by 4 hours, resulting in comparable SIRT1 levels and temperatures to the S1KO mice by 12 hours. Pneumonia also partially reduced SIRT1expression in S1OE mice, but S1OE mice still had improved thermoregulation 12 hours after pneumonia. In all groups, Sirt1 mRNA expression was not affected by infection. Sirtuin 1 deletion was associated with decreased neutrophil infiltration in the lung, as well as a shift toward a more immature neutrophil phenotype. SIRT1 deletion was also associated with decreased myeloperoxidase-positive neutrophils in the lungs following pneumonia, indicating decreased neutrophil activity. S1OE mice had no change in lung leukocyte subpopulations when compared to WT.
Conclusion: Pneumonia creates a functional SIRT1 knockdown in mice. SIRT1 deletion altered the early inflammatory cell response to pneumonia, resulting in a neutrophil response that would be less favorable for bacterial clearance. Despite overexpression of SIRT1, S1OE mice also developed low SIRT1 levels and exhibited only minimal improvement. This suggests increasing SIRT1 transcription is not sufficient to overcome pneumonia-induced downregulation and has implications for future treatment options. Targeting SIRT1 through increasing protein stability may promote a more efficient inflammatory cell response to pneumonia, thereby preventing subsequent lung injury.
