Modifications of peripheral perfusion in patients with vasopressor-dependent septic shock treated with polymyxin B-direct hemoperfusion. Sci Rep 2023; 13:7295.

Abstract
Abnormal peripheral perfusion (PP) worsens the prognosis of patients with septic shock. Polymyxin B-direct hemoperfusion (PMX-DHP) increases blood pressure and reduces vasopressor doses. However, the modification of PP following administration of PMX-DHP in patients with vasopressor-dependent septic shock have not yet been elucidated. A retrospective exploratory observational study was conducted in patients with septic shock treated with PMX-DHP. Pulse-amplitude index (PAI), vasoactive inotropic score (VIS), and cumulative fluid balance data were extracted at PMX-DHP initiation (T0) and after 24 (T24) and 48 (T48) h. Changes in these data were analyzed in all patients and two subgroups (abnormal PP [PAI < 1] and normal PP [PAI ≥ 1]) based on the PAI at PMX-DHP initiation. Overall, 122 patients (abnormal PP group, n = 67; normal PP group, n = 55) were evaluated. Overall and in the abnormal PP group, PAI increased significantly at T24 and T48 compared with that at T0, with a significant decrease in VIS. Cumulative 24-h fluid balance after PMX-DHP initiation was significantly higher in the abnormal PP group. PMX-DHP may be an effective intervention to improve PP in patients with abnormal PP; however, caution should be exercised as fluid requirements may differ from that of patients with normal PP.

Abstract
LNFPI reduced capsid protein VP1 to block virus adsorption. LNFPI promoted CDK2 and reduced cyclin E to recover S phase block. LNFPI inhibited cell apoptosis via reduction of Sphingomonas and Stenotrophomonas.
Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is the main cause of hand, foot and mouth disease that results in high rates of severe diseases in small children. Lacto-N-fucopentaose I (LNFPI) can inhibit pathogen invasion and regulate intestinal flora. However, whether LNFPI inhibits EV71 infection remains unknown. In this study, we examined the effect and mechanism of LNFPI against EV71. LNFPI reduced capsid protein VP1 to block virus adsorption, inhibited cyclin E transcription and promoted CDK2 expression in EV71-induced human rhabdomyosarcoma cells, thereby causing virus-induced S phase arrest and inhibiting death receptor and mitochondria-induced apoptosis. The effects of LNFPI on apoptosis were further confirmed in Caenorhabditis elegans. The correlation analysis revealed that LNFPI inhibited cell apoptosis by reducing the abundance of Sphingomonas, Stenotrophomonas and Achromatic, which are associated with pro-apoptotic genes in C. elegans, and by increasing the abundance of Micromonospora, which is related to apoptotic inhibition. These findings lead to further recommendations for LNFPI supplementation in infant formula, as it could offer antiviral benefits to formula-fed infants.

Abstract
Introduction The efficacy of antithrombin (AT) supplementation against septic disseminated
intravascular coagulation (DIC) may depend on various pre-existing factors,
particularly the AT dose and multiple organ dysfunction severity. This study
aimed to identify the impactful factors for early DIC recovery. Methods Patients’ clinical records, including AT therapy and septic DIC data, were
retrospectively extracted from January 2015 to December 2020. The patients
were divided into those with early DIC recovery (n = 34) and those without
(n = 37). Multivariate logistic regression analysis determined significant
independent factors. Time-to-event analysis confirmed how these factors
affected the DIC recovery time. Results The AT dose per patient body weight (odds ratio [95% confidence interval]:
2.879 [1.031-8.042], P = 0.044) and pre-existing organ
dysfunction severity (0.333 [0.120-0.920], P = 0.034) were
significant independent factors affecting early DIC recovery. A higher AT
dose significantly shortened the DIC recovery time among patients with
severe organ dysfunction (P < 0.01), but not among
non-severe patients (P = 0.855). Conclusion The therapeutic efficacy of AT treatment for septic DIC might depend on the
severity of pre-existing organ failure and the AT dose per patient body
weight.

Recombinant Antithrombin Attenuates Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Experimental Endotoxemia. THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PATHOLOGY 2021; 191:1526-1536. [PMID: 34116023 PMCID: PMC8278305 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajpath.2021.05.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2020] [Revised: 05/04/2021] [Accepted: 05/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/02/2022]
Abstract
Sepsis-induced endothelial acute respiratory distress syndrome is related to microvascular endothelial dysfunction caused by endothelial glycocalyx disruption. Recently, recombinant antithrombin (rAT) was reported to protect the endothelial glycocalyx from septic vasculitis; however, the underlying mechanism remains unknown. Here, we investigated the effect of rAT administration on vascular endothelial injury under endotoxemia. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 20 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally into 10-week-old male C57BL/6 mice, and saline or rAT was administered intraperitoneally at 3 and 24 hours after LPS administration. Subsequently, serum and/or pulmonary tissues were examined for inflammation and cell proliferation and differentiation by histologic, ultrastructural, and microarray analyses. The survival rate was significantly higher in rAT-treated mice than in control mice 48 hours after LPS injection (75% versus 20%; P < 0.05). Serum interleukin-1β was increased but to a lesser extent in response to LPS injection in rAT-treated mice than in control mice. Lectin staining and ultrastructural studies showed a notable attenuation of injury to the endothelial glycocalyx after rAT treatment. Microarray analysis further showed an up-regulation of gene sets corresponding to DNA repair, such as genes involved in DNA helicase activity, regulation of telomere maintenance, DNA-dependent ATPase activity, and ciliary plasm, after rAT treatment. Thus, rAT treatment may promote DNA repair, attenuate inflammation, and promote ciliogenesis, thereby attenuating the acute respiratory distress syndrome caused by endothelial injury.

Abstract
(1) Background: The endothelial glycocalyx is a primary target during the early phase of sepsis. We previously reported a newly developed recombinant non-fucosylated antithrombin has protective effects in vitro. We further evaluated the effects of this recombinant antithrombin on the glycocalyx damage in an animal model of sepsis. (2) Methods: Following endotoxin injection, in Wistar rats, circulating levels of hyaluronan, syndecan-1 and other biomarkers were evaluated in low-dose or high-dose recombinant antithrombin-treated animals and a control group (n = 7 per group). Leukocyte adhesion and blood flow were evaluated with intravital microscopy. The glycocalyx was also examined using side-stream dark-field imaging. (3) Results: The activation of coagulation was inhibited by recombinant antithrombin, leukocyte adhesion was significantly decreased, and flow was better maintained in the high-dose group (both p < 0.05). Circulating levels of syndecan-1 (p < 0.01, high-dose group) and hyaluronan (p < 0.05, low-dose group; p < 0.01, high-dose group) were significantly reduced by recombinant antithrombin treatment. Increases in lactate and decreases in albumin levels were significantly attenuated in the high-dose group (p < 0.05, respectively). The glycocalyx thickness was reduced over time in control animals, but the derangement was attenuated and microvascular perfusion was better maintained in the high-dose group recombinant antithrombin group (p < 0.05). (4) Conclusions: Recombinant antithrombin maintained vascular integrity and the microcirculation by preserving the glycocalyx in this sepsis model, effects that were more prominent with high-dose therapy.

Abstract
The vascular endothelial surface is coated by the glycocalyx, a ubiquitous gel-like layer composed of a membrane-binding domain that contains proteoglycans, glycosaminoglycan side-chains, and plasma proteins such as albumin and antithrombin. The endothelial glycocalyx plays a critical role in maintaining vascular homeostasis. However, this component is highly vulnerable to damage and is also difficult to examine. Recent advances in analytical techniques have enabled biochemical, visual and computational investigation of this vascular component. The glycocalyx modulates leukocyte-endothelial interactions, thrombus formation and other processes that lead to microcirculatory dysfunction and critical organ injury in sepsis. It also acts as a regulator of vascular permeability and contains mechanosensors as well as receptors for growth factors and anticoagulants. During the initial onset of sepsis, the glycocalyx is damaged and circulating levels of glycocalyx components, including syndecans, heparan sulfate and hyaluronic acid, can be measured and are reportedly useful as biomarkers for sepsis. Also, a new methodology using side-stream dark-field imaging is now clinically available for assessing the glycocalyx. Multiple factors including hypervolemia and hyperglycemia are toxic to the glycocalyx, and several agents have been proposed as therapeutic modalities, although no single treatment has been proven to be clinically effective. In this article, we review the derangement of the glycocalyx in sepsis. Despite the accumulated knowledge regarding the important roles of the glycocalyx, the relationship between derangement of the endothelial glycocalyx and severity of sepsis or disseminated intravascular coagulation has not been adequately elucidated and further work is needed.

Dexamethasone Preconditioning in Cardiac Procedures Reduces Decreased Antithrombin Activity and Is Associated to Beneficial Outcomes: Role of Endothelium. Front Pharmacol 2018; 9:1014.

Abstract
Introduction: Decreased antithrombin (AT) activity in patients scheduled for cardiovascular surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is related to increased postoperative complications and hospitalization time. Indirect evidence suggests that glucocorticoids mitigate this decreased AT activity. To better understand the beneficial effects of AT we have analyzed: (i) the clinical relevance of acute dexamethasone (DX) administration before cardiac surgery on AT activity, (ii) the modulation by DX of AT expression in human endothelial cells (hECs), (iii) the activity of AT on migration and angiogenesis of hECs, or on angiogenesis of rat aorta. Methods: A retrospective cohort study in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement surgery was designed to evaluate the effect of DX administration on AT activity at five separate time points: preoperatively, during CPB, at intensive care unit admission and at 12 and 24 h post-intervention. We have analyzed also clinical differences in postoperative outcomes as safety and the length of stay in hospitalization. Changes in mRNA levels of AT induced by DX were determined by qRT-PCR in human coronary (hCEC), aorta (hAEC) and cardiac microvasculature (hCMEC) endothelial cells. AT activity on migration and angiogenesis were also assayed. Angiogenic growth of rat aortic rings incubated in Matrigel® was determined in presence and absence of AT. Results: The cohort comprised 51 patients in the control group and 29 patients in the group receiving dexamethasone. Preoperative DX supplementation reduced intraoperative decrease of AT activity (67.71 ± 10.49% DX treated vs. 58.12 ± 9.11% untreated, p < 0.001) that could be related to a decrease in the hospitalization time (7.59 ± 4.08 days DX treated vs. 13.59 ± 16.00 days untreated, p = 0.014). Treatment of hECs with 500 nM DX slightly increased AT expression. Incubation with 0.5 and 1 IU/mL of AT increased migration and angiogenesis in hCAECs and hAECs, but not in hCMECs. The same concentrations of AT potentiated angiogenic sprouting of new vessels from rat aorta. Conclusion: Preoperative DX supplementation could be an interesting procedure to avoid excessive decrease in AT levels during cardiac surgery. Positive outcomes associated with maintaining adequate AT levels could be related to its potential beneficial effect on endothelial function (migration and angiogenesis).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Injury and loss of the endothelial glycocalyx occur during the early phase of sepsis. We previously showed that antithrombin has a protective effect on this structure in vitro. Here, we investigated the possible protective effects of antithrombin in an animal model of sepsis. METHODS Wistar rats were injected with endotoxin, and circulating levels of syndecan-1, hyaluronan, albumin, lactate and other biomarkers were measured in an antithrombin-treated group and an untreated control group (n = 6 in each group). Intravital microscopy was used to observe leukocyte adhesion, microcirculation, and syndecan-1 staining. RESULTS The circulating levels of syndecan-1 and hyaluronan were significantly reduced in the antithrombin-treated group, compared with the untreated controls. Lactate levels and albumin reduction were significantly attenuated in the antithrombin-treated group. Intravital microscopic observation revealed that both leukocyte adhesion and blood flow were better maintained in the treatment group. The syndecan-1 lining was disrupted after endotoxin treatment, and this derangement was attenuated by treatment with antithrombin. CONCLUSION Antithrombin effectively maintained microcirculation and vascular integrity by protecting the glycocalyx in a rat sepsis model.
