NADPH oxidases as a source of oxidative stress and molecular target in ischemia/reperfusion injury. J Mol Med (Berl) 2012; 90:1391-406. [PMID: 23090009 DOI: 10.1007/s00109-012-0963-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 125] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2012] [Revised: 09/26/2012] [Accepted: 09/28/2012] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is crucial in the pathology of major cardiovascular diseases, such as stroke and myocardial infarction. Paradoxically, both the lack of oxygen during ischemia and the replenishment of oxygen during reperfusion can cause tissue injury. Clinical outcome is also determined by a third, post-reperfusion phase characterized by tissue remodeling and adaptation. Increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been suggested to be key players in all three phases. As a second paradox, ROS seem to play a double-edged role in IRI, with both detrimental and beneficial effects. These Janus-faced effects of ROS may be linked to the different sources of ROS or to the different types of ROS that exist and may also depend on the phase of IRI. With respect to therapeutic implications, an untargeted application of antioxidants may not differentiate between detrimental and beneficial ROS, which might explain why this approach is clinically ineffective in lowering cardiovascular mortality. Under some conditions, antioxidants even appear to be harmful. In this review, we discuss recent breakthroughs regarding a more targeted and promising approach to therapeutically modulate ROS in IRI. We will focus on NADPH oxidases and their catalytic subunits, NOX, as they represent the only known enzyme family with the sole function to produce ROS. Similar to ROS, NADPH oxidases may play a dual role as different NOX isoforms may mediate detrimental or protective processes. Unraveling the precise sequence of events, i.e., determining which role the individual NOX isoforms play in the various phases of IRI, may provide the crucial molecular and mechanistic understanding to finally effectively target oxidative stress.

Abstract
Cryonics technology seeks to cryopreserve the anatomical basis of the mind so that future medicine can restore legally dead cryonics patients to life, youth, and health. Most cryonics patients experience varying degrees of ischemia and reperfusion injury. Neurons can survive ischemia and reperfusion injury more than is generally believed, but blood vessels are more vulnerable, and such injury can impair perfusion of vitrifying cryoprotectant solution intended to eliminate ice formation in the brain. Forms of vascular and neuronal damage are reviewed, along with means of mitigating that damage. Recommendations are also made for preventing such damage.

Abstract
Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is an inevitable consequence of organ transplantation and a major determinant of patient and graft survival in kidney transplantation. Renal I/R injury can lead to fibrosis and graft failure. Although the exact sequence of events in the pathophysiology of I/R injury remains unknown, the role of inflammation has become increasingly clear. In this perspective, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are under extensive investigation as potential therapy for I/R injury, since MSCs are able to exert immune regulatory and reparative effects. Various preclinical studies indicate the beneficial effects of MSCs in ameliorating renal injury and accelerating tissue repair. These versatile cells have been shown to migrate to sites of injury and to enhance repair by paracrine mechanisms instead of by differentiating and replacing the injured cells. The first phase I studies of MSCs in human renal I/R injury and kidney transplantation have been started, and results are awaited soon. In this review, preliminary results and opportunities of MSCs in human renal I/R injury are summarized. We might be heading towards a cell-based paradigm shift in the treatment of renal I/R injury.

Increased endothelin-1 vasoconstriction in mesenteric resistance arteries after superior mesenteric ischaemia-reperfusion. Br J Pharmacol 2012; 165:937-50. [PMID: 21806604 PMCID: PMC3312490 DOI: 10.1111/j.1476-5381.2011.01617.x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2010] [Revised: 07/05/2011] [Accepted: 07/12/2011] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Endothelin-1 (ET-1) plays an important role in the maintenance of vascular tone. We aimed to evaluate the influence of superior mesenteric artery (SMA) ischaemia-reperfusion (I/R) on mesenteric resistance artery vasomotor function and the mechanism involved in the changes in vascular responses to ET-1. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH SMA from male Sprague-Dawley rats was occluded (90 min) and following reperfusion (24h), mesenteric resistance arteries were dissected. Vascular reactivity was studied using wire myography. Protein and mRNA expression, superoxide anion (O(2) (•-) ) production and ET-1 plasma concentration were evaluated by immunofluorescence, real-time quantitative PCR, ethidium fluorescence and elisa, respectively. KEY RESULTS I/R increased ET-1 plasma concentration, ET-1-mediated vasoconstriction and ET(B) mRNA expression, and down-regulated ET(A) mRNA expression. Immunofluorescence confirmed mRNA results and revealed an increase in ET(B) receptors in the mesenteric resistance artery media layer after I/R. Therefore, the ET(B) receptor agonist sarafotoxin-6 induced a contraction that was inhibited by the ET(B) receptor antagonist BQ788 only in vessels, with and without endothelium, from I/R rats. Furthermore, BQ788 potentiated ET-1 vasoconstriction only in sham rats. Endothelium removal in rings from I/R rats unmasked the inhibition of ET-1 vasoconstriction by BQ788. Endothelium removal, N(ω) -nitro-L-arginine methyl ester and superoxide dismutase abolished the differences in ET-1 vasoconstriction between sham and I/R rats. We also found that I/R down-regulates endothelial NOS mRNA expression and concomitantly enhanced O(2) (•-) production by increasing NADPH oxidase 1 (NOX-1) and p(47phox) mRNA. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Mesenteric I/R potentiated the ET-1-mediated vasoconstriction by a mechanism that involves up-regulation of muscular ET(B) receptors and decrease in NO bioavailability.

Abstract
Mesenteric ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. We studied the effect of mesenteric I/R on structural and mechanical properties of rat mesenteric resistance artery (MRA) that, once disrupted, might impact the outcome of this devastating clinical condition. Superior mesenteric artery from Wistar–Kyoto rats was occluded (90 min) and reperfused (24 h). The effect of tezosentan, a dual endothelin (ET)-receptor antagonist, was studied in ischemic (IO) and sham-operated (SO) animals. MRA structure and mechanics were assessed by pressure myography. Nuclei distribution, elastin content and organization, collagen I/III and ET-1 expression, ET-1 plasma levels, superoxide anion (O2⋅−) production, and mRNA levels of NAD(P)H-oxidase subunits were measured. To assess ET-1 effects on O2⋅− production, MRA from non-operated rats were incubated in culture medium with ET-1. Mesenteric I/R increased MRA wall thickness (P < 0.05) and cross-sectional area (P < 0.05) but decreased wall stiffness (P < 0.05). Arterial remodeling was paralleled by enhancement of: (i) collagen I/III expression (P < 0.01), ET-1 expression (P < 0.05), and O2⋅− formation (P < 0.01) in the vessel wall; (ii) number of internal elastic lamina (IEL) fenestrae (P < 0.05); and (iii) plasma levels of ET-1 (P < 0.05). Moreover, ET-1 increased O2⋅− (P < 0.05) production in cultured MRA. Tezosentan prevented hypertrophic remodeling and collagen I/III deposition, and enhanced O2⋅− production, but it did not affect the decreased wall stiffness after mesenteric I/R. These results indicate that 90 min occlusion/24 h reperfusion induces hypertrophic remodeling of MRA linked to ET-1-mediated increase of collagen and O2⋅−. Decreased stiffness may be associated with increased number of IEL fenestrae. The resulting MRA remodeling, initially adaptive, might become maladaptive contributing to the pathology and poor outcome of mesenteric I/R, and might be a valuable treatment target for mesenteric I/R.

Abstract
Disorders characterized by ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), such as myocardial infarction, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease, continue to be among the most frequent causes of debilitating disease and death. Tissue injury and/or death occur as a result of the initial ischemic insult, which is determined primarily by the magnitude and duration of the interruption in the blood supply, and then subsequent damage induced by reperfusion. During prolonged ischemia, ATP levels and intracellular pH decrease as a result of anaerobic metabolism and lactate accumulation. As a consequence, ATPase-dependent ion transport mechanisms become dysfunctional, contributing to increased intracellular and mitochondrial calcium levels (calcium overload), cell swelling and rupture, and cell death by necrotic, necroptotic, apoptotic, and autophagic mechanisms. Although oxygen levels are restored upon reperfusion, a surge in the generation of reactive oxygen species occurs and proinflammatory neutrophils infiltrate ischemic tissues to exacerbate ischemic injury. The pathologic events induced by I/R orchestrate the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore, which appears to represent a common end-effector of the pathologic events initiated by I/R. The aim of this treatise is to provide a comprehensive review of the mechanisms underlying the development of I/R injury, from which it should be apparent that a combination of molecular and cellular approaches targeting multiple pathologic processes to limit the extent of I/R injury must be adopted to enhance resistance to cell death and increase regenerative capacity in order to effect long-lasting repair of ischemic tissues.

Abstract
Pneumatic tourniquets are widely used in pediatric extremity surgery to provide a bloodless field and facilitate dissection. This prospective study was carried out to examine possible effect of different anesthesia techniques on oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction connected with ischemia-reperfusion injury during extremity operations at children's age. Patients were randomized into three groups of 15 patients each: general inhalational anesthesia with sevoflurane (group S), total intravenous anesthesia with propofol (group T) and regional anesthesia (group R). Venous blood samples for determination of the malondialdehyde in plasma and erythrocytes, protein carbonyl groups concentration as well as plasma nitrites and nitrates level and xanthine oxidase activity were obtained at four time points: before peripheral nerve block and induction of general anesthesia (baseline), 1 min before tourniquet release, 5 and 20 min after tourniquet release. This study demonstrates that total intravenous anesthesia with propofol and regional anesthesia techniques provide better antioxidant defense and reduce endothelial dysfunction than general inhalational anesthesia with sevoflurane during tourniquet application in pediatric extremity surgery.

Abstract
Erythropoietin (EPO) is the major hormone stimulating the production and differentiation of red blood cells. EPO is used widely for treating anemia of critical illness or anemia induced by chemotherapy. EPO at pharmacological doses is used in this setting to raise hemoglobin levels (by preventing the apoptosis of erythroid progenitor cells) and is designed to reduce patient exposure to allogenic blood through transfusions. Stroke, heart failure, and acute kidney injury are a frequently encountered clinical problem. Unfortunately, in the intensive care unit advances in supportive interventions have done little to reduce the high mortality associated with these conditions. Tissue protection with EPO at high, nonpharmacological doses after injury has been found in the brain, heart, and kidney of several animal models. It is now well known that EPO has anti-apoptotic effects in cells other than erythroid progenitor cells, which is considered to be independent of EPOs erythropoietic activities. This review article summarizes what is known in preclinical models of critical illness and discusses why this does not correlate with randomized, controlled clinical trials.

Abstract
Reperfusion injury is characterized by significant oxidative stress. F(2)-isoprostanes (F(2)-IsoP's) and isofurans (IsoF's), the latter preferentially produced during increased oxygen tension, are recognized markers of in vivo oxidative stress. We aimed to determine whether increasing oxygen tension during reperfusion modified levels of plasma total IsoF's and F(2)-IsoP's. Forty-five patients undergoing upper-limb surgery were randomized to receive inspired oxygen concentrations of 30, 50, or 80% during the last 15 min of surgery. Venous blood samples were taken before the change in inspired oxygen, after 10 min (before reperfusion), and after 15 min (5 min after reperfusion). IsoF's and F(2)-IsoP's were measured by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Venous oxygen tension and hemoglobin concentrations were also measured. Plasma IsoF and F(2)-IsoP levels in the 50 and 80% O(2) groups were not significantly different from those of the 30% O(2) group. In secondary analyses, using data combining all groups, levels of IsoF's, but not F(2)-IsoP's, associated with higher venous oxygen tension (P=0.038). Hemoglobin negatively modified the influence of oxygen tension on levels of IsoF's (P=0.014). This study has shown, for the first time, that plasma IsoF levels associate with higher oxygen tension in a human model of reperfusion, and this effect is significantly attenuated by hemoglobin.

Abstract
Ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is harmful to the cardiovascular system and is responsible for the inflammatory response, which, in turn, aggravates cardiac dysfunction. This study was designed to investigate the protective effect and potential mechanism of a haemoglobin-based oxygen carrier on cold I/R-injured hearts. Isolated Sprague-Dawley rat hearts were perfused in Langendorff mode. After a 30-min basal perfusion, rat hearts were arrested and hypothermically stored at 4°C for 12h followed by a 2-h reperfusion. Compared with histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate solution (HTKs), polymerised placenta haemoglobin (PolyPHb) in HTKs greatly improved heart contraction and decreased infarction size, necrosis, and apoptosis, which was related to reduced expression of TLR2, TLR4, TNF-α, and IL-1β, and NF-κB activation. Our results demonstrate the cardioprotective effect of PolyPHb on cold I/R-injured hearts and revealed that this protection was mediated in large part by attenuation of TLR2 and -4/NF-κB signalling pathway and could possibly down-regulate the inflammatory response.

Abstract
UNLABELLED P-selectin expression is involved in the pathophysiology of biologically active arterial thrombus and endothelial activation after a transient ischemic event. Fucoidan is a polysaccharidic ligand of P-selectin, with a nanomolar affinity. In the present study, we propose a new approach of P-selectin molecular imaging based on radiolabeled fucoidan. METHODS Two kinds of experimental models were selected to evaluate the ability of radiolabeled fucoidan to detect P-selectin expression: platelet-rich arterial thrombi (vegetations of infective endocarditis and arterial mural thrombus) and myocardial ischemia-reperfusion. These 2 settings were chosen because they were clinically relevant, and both were associated with an important overexpression of platelet and endothelial P-selectin, respectively. RESULTS (99m)Tc-fucoidan SPECT was able to detect the presence of platelet-rich arterial thrombi in all animals, with a median target-to-background ratio of 5.2 in vegetations of endocarditis and 3.6 in mural aneurysmal thrombus, and to detect a persistent endothelial activation at 2 h after reperfusion. In this latter model, the magnitude of the signal was correlated with the extent of myocardium that underwent transient ischemia. The sensitivity of selectivity of the uptake and retention of (99m)Tc-fucoidan in both settings was excellent. CONCLUSION This study supports (99m)Tc-fucoidan as a relevant imaging agent for in vivo detection of biologic activities associated with P-selectin overexpression, such as arterial thrombus and ischemic memory. Given the reported wide availability at a low cost, and its low toxicity, fucoidan seems to overcome some of the limitations of previous P-selectin-targeted imaging agents.

Abstract
AIM To explore the relationships between blood gas derangements and blood concentrations of inflammation-related proteins shortly after preterm birth. DESIGN Observational cohort. SETTING Fourteen neonatal intensive care units. SUBJECTS Seven hundred and forty five infants born before the 28th week of gestation who were classified by their blood gas derangements during the first three postnatal days and by the concentrations of 25 proteins in their blood on days 1, 7, and 14. We classified these newborns by whether or not they had a highest or lowest PaO2, PCO2, and lowest pH in the most extreme quartile, and by whether or not they had a protein concentration in the highest quartile. RESULTS Blood gas derangements on two days were much more likely to be accompanied or followed by sustained or recurrent systemic inflammation than a derangement on only one day. This was most evident for acidemia, and slightly less so for hypercapnia. CONCLUSIONS Our finding that protein concentration patterns indicative of systemic inflammation are associated with several blood gas derangements raises the possibility that organ damage attributed to these derangements might be accompanied by or involve an inflammatory response.

Abstract
Retinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) involves an extensive increase in reactive oxygen species as well as proinflammatory changes that result in significant histopathologic damage, including neuronal and vascular degeneration. Nrf2 has a well-known cytoprotective role in many tissues, but its protective function in the retina is unclear. We investigated the possible role of Nrf2 as a protective mechanism in retinal ischemia-reperfusion injury using Nrf2(-/-) mice. I/R resulted in an increase in retinal levels of superoxide and proinflammatory mediators, as well as leukocyte infiltration of the retina and vitreous, in Nrf2(+/+) mice. These effects were greatly accentuated in Nrf2(-/-) mice. With regard to histopathologic damage, Nrf2(-/-) mice exhibited loss of cells in the ganglion cell layer and markedly accentuated retinal capillary degeneration, as compared to wild-type. Treatment with the Nrf2 activator CDDO-Me increased antioxidant gene expression and normalized I/R-induced superoxide in the retina in wild-type but not Nrf2(-/-) mice. CDDO-Me treatment abrogated retinal capillary degeneration induced by I/R in wild-type but not Nrf2(-/-) mice. These studies indicate that Nrf2 is an important cytoprotective mechanism in the retina in response to ischemia-reperfusion injury and suggest that pharmacologic induction of Nrf2 could be a new therapeutic strategy for retinal ischemia-reperfusion and other retinal diseases.

Abstract
Ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury is a central component in the pathogenesis of several diseases and is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the western world. Subcellularly, mitochondrial dysfunction, characterized by depletion of ATP, calcium-induced opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore, and exacerbated reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, plays an integral role in the progression of IR injury. Nitric oxide (NO) and more recently nitrite (NO(2)(-)) are known to modulate mitochondrial function, mediate cytoprotection after IR and have been implicated in the signaling of the highly protective ischemic preconditioning (IPC) program. Here, we review what is known about the role of NO and nitrite in cytoprotection after IR and consider the putative role of nitrite in IPC. Focus is placed on the potential cytoprotective mechanisms involving NO and nitrite-dependent modulation of mitochondrial function.

Abstract
Blood flow pulsatility can be quantified using the concept of hemodynamic energy. Because ischemia-reperfusion injury is known to affect microcirculation as well as vascular tone detrimentally, we hypothesized that vascular tone changes after ischemia-reperfusion injury would influence pulsatility of the blood vessels. We investigated the changes in pulsatility after ischemia-reperfusion injury using hemodynamic energy parameters-energy equivalent pressure (EEP) and surplus hemodynamic energy (SHE). Twenty-one New Zealand white male rabbits were divided into three groups. Ischemia group (I group, n = 7) underwent 3 hours of ischemia by clamping the abdominal aorta. Reperfusion group (I/R group, n = 7) underwent 2 hours of ischemia followed by 1 hour of reperfusion. Control group (C group, n = 7) underwent a sham procedure. Observed parameters were mean arterial pressure (MAP), mean blood flow (MBF), pulse pressure (PP), EEP, and SHE, measured at baseline, during ischemia (60 minutes after clamping), and reperfusion 5, 15, 30, and 60 minutes after clamp release. In I group, all parameters, except MBF, were higher during ischemia than at baseline. In I/R group, all except MBF were higher during ischemia. After reperfusion, MBF increased and the other parameters decreased. Interestingly, PP and EEP showed only minor changes during reperfusion (p = NS), whereas SHE decreased abruptly immediately after reperfusion and then gradually recovered to its baseline level. Surplus hemodynamic energy showed more significant changes than PP or EEP during reperfusion period (p < 0.05). In C group, no changes were noted throughout the observation period. Ischemia-reperfusion injury reduces vascular pulsatility. In this study, SHE was found to be a more sensitive hemodynamic energy parameter during ischemia-reperfusion injury than PP or EEP.
