BACKGROUND: Sepsis is a condition that triggers the release of large amounts of reactive oxygen species and inflammatory factors in the body, leading to myocardial injury and cardiovascular dysfunction - an important contributor to the high mortality rate associated with sepsis. Although it has been demonstrated that the sigma-1 receptor (S1R) is essential for preventing oxidative stress, its effectiveness in treating sepsis is yet unknown.

AIM: This study aimed to investigate the role and mechanisms of S1R activation in sepsis-induced myocardial injury.

METHODS: A model of sepsis-induced myocardial injury was constructed by performing cecum ligation and puncture(CLP) surgery on rats. Flv or BD1047 were intraperitoneally injected into rats for one consecutive week before performing CLP, and then intraperitoneally injected into the rats again 1 h after the surgery.The effects of Flv and BD1047 were detected by HE staining, immunofluorescence staining, IHC staining, echocardiography measurements,TUNEL, oxidative stress detection, TEM, flow cytometry and western blot. We further validated the mechanism in vitro using neonatal rat cardiomyocites and H9C2 cells.

RESULTS: S1R protein level was reduced in the hearts of septic rats, whereas administration of Flv, an S1R activator, ameliorated myocardial injury, mitochondrial oxidative stress, and pathological manifestations of sepsis. On the other hand, administration of the S1R inhibitor BD1047 exacerbated the mitochondrial oxidative stress, and apoptosis, as well as symptoms and pathological manifestations of sepsis. In addition, we found that up-regulation of S1R activated the Nrf2/HO1 signaling pathway and promoted nuclear translocation of Nrf2, which activated downstream proteins to generate antioxidant factors, such as HO1, in turn alleviating oxidative stress and countering myocardial damage.

CONCLUSION: By scavenging ROS accumulation and reducing mitochondrial oxidative stress via the Nrf2/HO1 signaling pathway, activation of S1R improves cardiac function, mitigates death of cardiomyocytes, and attenuates sepsis-induced myocardial injury.
