ABSTRACT: Pro-inflammatory hyperactivation of kupffer cells (KCs) is foremost involved in the pathogenesis of sepsis-induced liver injury. Our previous study found that stimulator of interferon genes (STING) signaling was activated in KCs in response of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and knocking down dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) in KCs effectively inhibited the activation of STING signaling and the subsequent production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. In this study, we demonstrated that in vivo treatment with mitochondrial division inhibitor 1 (Mdivi-1), a selective inhibitor of DRP1, alleviated cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced liver injury with the improvement of liver pathology and function. Moreover, we found that STING in liver was mainly concentrated in KCs and STING signaling was significantly activated in KCs after CLP. STING deficiency effectively ameliorated liver injury and decreased the mortality of septic mice, which were reversely worsened by the enhanced activation of STING with DMXAA. The further study showed that Mdivi-1 markedly attenuated STING signaling activation in KCs and inhibited systemic inflammatory response. Importantly, DMXAA application in CLP mice blunted Mdivi-1's liver protection effect. Taken together, our study confirmed Mdivi-1 effectively alleviated CLP-induced liver injury partially through inhibiting STING signaling activation in KCs, which provides new insights and a novel potential pharmacological therapeutic target for treating septic liver injury.
