Erythropoietin-mediated IL-17 F attenuates sepsis-induced gut microbiota dysbiosis and barrier dysfunction
Open accessAbstract
Septic gut damage is critical in the progression of sepsis and multiple organ failure, characterized by gut microbiota dysbiosis and epithelium deficiency in the gut barrier. Recent studies highlight the protective effects of Erythropoietin (EPO) on multiple organs. The present study found that EPO treatment significantly alleviated the survival rate, suppressed inflammatory responses, and ameliorated intestine damage in mice with sepsis. EPO treatment also reversed sepsis-induced gut microbiota dysbiosis. The protective role of EPO in the gut barrier and microbiota was impaired after EPOR knockout. Notably, we innovatively demonstrated that IL-17 F screened by transcriptome sequencing could ameliorate sepsis and septic gut damage including gut microbiota dysbiosis and barrier dysfunction, which was verified by IL-17 F-treated fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) as well. Our findings highlight the protection effects of EPO-mediated IL-17 F in sepsis-induced gut damage by alleviating gut barrier dysfunction and restoring gut microbiota dysbiosis. EPO and IL-17 F may be potential therapeutic targets in septic patients.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
