Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:7484. [PMID: 39000591 PMCID: PMC11242077 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25137484] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2024] [Revised: 07/02/2024] [Accepted: 07/05/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Experimental evidence suggests that chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH), a major hallmark of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), boosts carotid body (CB) responsiveness, thereby causing increased sympathetic activity, arterial and pulmonary hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. An enhanced circulatory chemoreflex, oxidative stress, and NO signaling appear to play important roles in these responses to CIH in rodents. Since the guinea pig has a hypofunctional CB (i.e., it is a natural CB knockout), in this study we used it as a model to investigate the CB dependence of the effects of CIH on pulmonary vascular responses, including those mediated by NO, by comparing them with those previously described in the rat. We have analyzed pulmonary artery pressure (PAP), the hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) response, endothelial function both in vivo and in vitro, and vascular remodeling (intima-media thickness, collagen fiber content, and vessel lumen area). We demonstrate that 30 days of the exposure of guinea pigs to CIH (FiO2, 5% for 40 s, 30 cycles/h) induces pulmonary artery remodeling but does not alter endothelial function or the contractile response to phenylephrine (PE) in these arteries. In contrast, CIH exposure increased the systemic arterial pressure and enhanced the contractile response to PE while decreasing endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation to carbachol in the aorta without causing its remodeling. We conclude that since all of these effects are independent of CB sensitization, there must be other oxygen sensors, beyond the CB, with the capacity to alter the autonomic control of the heart and vascular function and structure in CIH.

Abstract
In this narrative review, we present a comprehensive assessment on the putative roles of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in intermittent hypoxia (IH) and sleep apnea. Collectively, the evidence from cell culture, animal, and clinical research studies points to the functional involvement of lncRNAs in the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and potential treatment strategies for this highly prevalent disorder. Further research is clearly warranted to uncover the mechanistic pathways and to exploit the therapeutic potential of lncRNAs, thereby improving the management and outcomes of patients suffering from sleep apnea.

Abstract
The association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and metabolic disorders is well-established; however, the underlying mechanisms that elucidate this relationship remain incompletely understood. Since the liver is a major organ in the maintenance of metabolic homeostasis, we hypothesize that liver dysfunction plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of metabolic dysfunction associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Herein, we explored the underlying mechanisms of this association within the liver. Experiments were performed in male Wistar rats fed with a control or high fat (HF) diet (60% lipid-rich) for 12 weeks. Half of the groups were exposed to chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) (30 hypoxic (5% O2) cycles, 8 h/day) that mimics OSA, in the last 15 days. Insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance were assessed. Liver samples were collected for evaluation of lipid deposition, insulin signaling, glucose homeostasis, hypoxia, oxidative stress, antioxidant defenses, mitochondrial biogenesis and inflammation. Both the CIH and HF diet induced dysmetabolism, a state not aggravated in animals submitted to HF plus CIH. CIH aggravates hepatic lipid deposition in obese animals. Hypoxia-inducible factors levels were altered by these stimuli. CIH decreased the levels of oxidative phosphorylation complexes in both groups and the levels of SOD-1. The HF diet reduced mitochondrial density and hepatic antioxidant capacity. The CIH and HF diet produced alterations in cysteine-related thiols and pro-inflammatory markers. The results obtained suggest that hepatic mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress, leading to inflammation, may be significant factors contributing to the development of dysmetabolism associated with OSA.

Biomed J 2023; 46:100566. [PMID: 36244649 PMCID: PMC10498409 DOI: 10.1016/j.bj.2022.10.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2022] [Revised: 09/01/2022] [Accepted: 10/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Both obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are prevalent within obese individuals. We aimed to investigate the effects of intermittent hypoxia (IH), a clinical feature of OSA, on hepatic expression of fatty acid translocase (CD36) in relation to liver injury in lean and diet-induced obese mice. METHODS Four-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were randomized to standard diet (SD) or high fat (HF) diet groups. At 13-week-old, all mice were exposed to either air or IH (IH30; thirty hypoxic episodes per hour) for four weeks. We assessed liver injury through lipid profile, oxidative and inflammatory stress, histological scoring and hepatic CD36 expression. RESULTS In lean mice, IH elevated serum and hepatic triglyceride and free fatty acid (FFA) levels, in line with upregulation of hepatic CD36 expression and myeloperoxidase (MPO)-positive cells in support of inflammatory infiltrates along with increase in serum malondialdehyde (MDA), C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 1(CXCL-1) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1). In diet-induced obese mice, an increase in hepatic alanine transaminase (ALT) activity, serum and hepatic levels of lipid parameters and inflammatory markers, serum MDA level, hepatic expressions of CD36 and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), and MPO-positive cells was observed. IH potentiated hepatic ALT activity, serum CXCL-1 and hepatic interleukin-6 (IL-6), in line with inflammatory infiltrates, but paradoxically, reduced hepatic FFA level and hepatic CD36 expression, compared to obese mice without IH exposure. However, IH further augmented diet-induced liver steatosis and fibrosis as shown by histological scores. CONCLUSION This study contributes to support that IH featuring OSA may lead to liver injury via differential regulation of hepatic CD36 expression in lean and diet-induced obese mice.

Active metabolites and potential mechanisms of Notopterygium incisum against obstructive sleep apnea Syndrome (OSAS): network analysis and experimental assessment. Front Pharmacol 2023; 14:1185100. [PMID: 37719850 PMCID: PMC10500596 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2023.1185100] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2023] [Accepted: 08/23/2023] [Indexed: 09/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Notopterygium incisum K.C. Ting ex H.T. Chang, a synonym of Hansenia weberbaueriana (Fedde ex H. Wolff) Pimenov & Kljuykov, is an anti-inflammatory medicinal plant. Although abrnotopterol has been reported to be its primary active metabolite, the other metabolites and their mechanisms of action remain unclear. This study aims to investigate the potential mechanisms by which its active metabolites treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) through network analysis and experimental assessment. Methods: The metabolites and potential targets of Notopterygium incisum were extracted from public databases. We searched for OSAS-related genes in the Genecards, OMIM, PharmGkb, TTD, and DrugBank databases. Cytoscape 3.9.0 was used to construct the drug-target-disease network and screen for hub genes. Human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells were cultivated in normoxia and chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) medium for 24 h. Interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) were quantified using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2(PTGS2) mRNA was detected using RT-qPCR, while PTGS2 and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) proteins were identified using Western blot analysis. Co-Immunoprecipitation (CoIP) and Western blotting were utilized to evaluate the ubiquitination of PTGS2 in HBE cells. Results: Pterostilbene and notopterol, isolated from Notopterygium incisum, had potential therapeutic effects on OSAS. The PTGS2 and estrogen receptor alpha (ESR1) hub genes were associated with OSAS. The pathway enrichment analysis focuses on the NF-κB, apoptosis, and HIF-1A pathways. In response to CIH, pterostilbene and notopterol decreased IL-6, TNF-α, and PGE2 levels. The NF-κB pathway was activated by an increase in PTGS2 levels. Pterostilbene promoted proteasome-mediated ubiquitination of PTGS2 protein and reduced PTGS2 levels, inhibiting the NF-κB pathway. Conclusion: This study reveals the active metabolites of Notopterygium incisum and hub genes involved in treating OSAS, which provide a basis for the follow-up development and exploitation of the botanical drug.

Proteomic profiling for prediction of recurrent cardiovascular event in patients with acute coronary syndrome and obstructive sleep apnea: A post-hoc analysis from the ISAACC study. Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 158:114125.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with a recurrent cardiovascular event (CVE) risk in patients with a first acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, the pathological pathways by which OSA promotes this deleterious role are unknown. We aim to explore the proteomic profile associated with OSA that promote the recurrent CVE risk in severe OSA patients with ACS without previous cardiovascular diseases. METHODS This post-hoc analysis from the ISAACC study (NCT01335087) included 86 patients admitted for ACS. Patients underwent respiratory polygraphy for the first 24-72 h to OSA diagnosis. We analyzed of 276 cardiovascular and inflammatory related proteins in baseline fasting plasma samples using proximity expression assay technology (Olink®, Sweden). Protein levels were compared between severe OSA patients with/without recurrent CVEs during follow-up. Random forest was conducted to select relevant proteins and generate a predictive model of recurrent CVE. RESULTS We included 86 patients (median age: 61 years, median BMI: 29.4 kg/m2 and 86 % males) admitted for ACS with severe OSA (56 without recurrent CVE/30 with recurrent CVE). The plasma levels of 38 proteins were differentially expressed between groups. Additionally, 12 proteins had a significant association with respiratory polygraphy parameters. Three proteins discriminate with an AUC of 0.81 (95 % CI of 0.71-0.9) between severe OSA patients with and without recurrent CVE. These proteins were implicated in cell proliferation, communication and apoptosis, and regulation/response to the inflammatory and immune systems. CONCLUSION In ACS patients with severe OSA, a proteomic profile was associated with recurrent CVEs. This proteomic profile was correlated with specific OSA parameters from respiratory polygraphy. Proteomic profiling may provide an new direction for patient risk stratification and clinical management.

Abstract
This work analyzes the impact of two conditions, intermittent hypoxia exposure and high-fat diet in rats as models of sleep apnea. We studied the autonomic activity and histological structure of the rat jejunum and whether the overlapping of both conditions, as often observed in patients, induces more deleterious effects on the intestinal barrier. We found alterations in jejunum wall histology, predominantly in HF rats, based on increased crypt depth and submucosal thickness, as well as decreased muscularis propria thickness. These alterations were maintained with the IH and HF overlap. An increase in the number and size of goblet cells in the villi and crypts and the infiltration of eosinophils and lymphocytes in the lamina propria suggest an inflammatory status, confirmed by the increase in plasma CRP levels in all experimental groups. Regarding the CAs analysis, IH, alone or combined with HF, causes a preferential accumulation of NE in the catecholaminergic nerve fibers of the jejunum. In contrast, serotonin increases in all three experimental conditions, with the highest level in the HF group. It remains to be elucidated whether the alterations found in the present work could affect the permeability of the intestinal barrier, promoting sleep apnea-induced morbidities.

Abstract
In metabolism, molecular oxygen is a necessary substrate. Oxygen imbalances are linked to a variety of circumstances in the organism's homeostasis. Recently, the positive effects of hypoxia treatment in improving exercise ability and hypoxia tolerance have become a research focus. We explored the effects of intermittent hypoxia exposure (IHE, for one hour or three hours per day) on the hypoxia tolerance of largemouth bass in this study. The results showed that (1) IHE significantly reduced the LOEcrit (the critical O2 tension for loss of equilibrium) value of largemouth bass, indicating that its hypoxia tolerance was enhanced. (2) The level of oxidative stress in the liver decreased in the HH3 group (exposed to a hypoxic condition for 3 h per day) compared to HH1 group (exposed to a hypoxic condition for 1 h per day). (3) IHE reduced the content of lactic acid and enhanced the process of gluconeogenesis in the liver. (4) Importantly, lipid mobilization and fatty acid oxidation in the liver of largemouth bass were significantly enhanced during IHE. In short, the results of this study indicate that IHE can improve hypoxia tolerance by regulating the energy metabolism of largemouth bass.

Abstract
Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is lower in people with NAFLD compared to the general population. Sleep disturbance resulting in daytime sleepiness is common in patients with NAFLD, but the effect of daytime sleepiness on HRQoL in NAFLD is unclear. The prevalence and natural history of NAFLD vary in different ethnic groups, but there has been limited ethnic diversity in HrQoL studies to date. We aimed to assess whether daytime sleepiness is independently associated with reduced HRQoL in an ethnically diverse UK population. We conducted HRQoL assessments using SF-36 version 2 and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) questionnaires in 192 people with NAFLD. Multivariate linear regression was used to identify factors independently affecting HRQoL scales. People with NAFLD reported significantly reduced physical health-related SF-36 scores compared to the general UK population. South Asian NAFLD patients reported impairment in physical health, but not mental health, approximately a decade before White NAFLD patients. In multivariate linear regression, daytime sleepiness (ESS score > 10), was the most significant independent predictor of reduced physical health. Age, BMI and liver stiffness score were also significantly associated. HRQoL is impaired earlier in patients of South Asian ethnicity. ESS score > 10, indicative of excessive daytime sleepiness, is an independent predictor of reduced HRQoL in people with NAFLD regardless of ethnicity. Daytime sleepiness should be considered as a contributing factor to reduced HRQoL in clinical practice and when evaluating patient-related outcomes in clinical trials.

Abstract
NEW FINDINGS What is the central question of this study? Does endogenous testosterone modulate the consequences of intermittent hypoxia (IH) in the lungs of male mice? What is the main finding and its importance? Orchiectomized mice exposed to IH develop a pattern that is similar to emphysema or obstructive lung disease with elevated lung volumes, low pulmonary elastance during a methacholine challenge test and high counts of lymphocytes in bronchoalveolar lavages. Since low testosterone levels and other respiratory diseases are common in sleep apnoea, there is a clear clinical relevance to these results. ABSTRACT We tested the hypothesis that low testosterone levels modulate the pulmonary responses to intermittent hypoxia (IH; used as a model of sleep apnoea (SA)) in male mice. We used intact (SHAM) or orchiectomized (ORX) mice exposed to IH for 14 days (12 h/day, 10 cycles/h, 6% oxygen) or to normoxia (Nx). We first measured ventilation and metabolic rates in freely behaving mice (whole-body plethysmography) and then respiratory mechanics in tracheotomized mice (flexiVent). We assessed the respiratory system resistance and elastance (Ers ), Newtonian resistance (resistance of the large airways), tissue damping and tissue elastance (H) under baseline conditions and during a methacholine challenge test. We also measured the quasi-static compliance and inspiratory capacity with partial pressure-volume loops. Finally, inflammatory cells were counted in the broncho-alveolar lavage (BAL) and we measured lung volume by water displacement. ORX-IH mice had higher tidal volume, inspiratory capacity and lung volume compared to the other groups, but showed signs of low efficiency of O2 exchange rate relative to minute ventilation. During the methacholine challenge, orchiectomy decreased the values of most mechanical parameters and IH reduced Ers and H leading to very low values in ORX-IH mice. Finally, the total number of cells and the number of lymphocytes in BAL were both increased by IH in ORX mice. Since reduced lung elasticity, low O2 extraction, increased lung volumes and inflammation are signs of emphysematous lung disease, we conclude that testosterone might prevent lung emphysema during IH exposures.

Chronic and Cycling Hypoxia: Drivers of Cancer Chronic Inflammation through HIF-1 and NF-κB Activation: A Review of the Molecular Mechanisms. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms221910701. [PMID: 34639040 PMCID: PMC8509318 DOI: 10.3390/ijms221910701] [Citation(s) in RCA: 116] [Impact Index Per Article: 38.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2021] [Revised: 09/28/2021] [Accepted: 10/01/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Chronic (continuous, non-interrupted) hypoxia and cycling (intermittent, transient) hypoxia are two types of hypoxia occurring in malignant tumors. They are both associated with the activation of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB), which induce changes in gene expression. This paper discusses in detail the mechanisms of activation of these two transcription factors in chronic and cycling hypoxia and the crosstalk between both signaling pathways. In particular, it focuses on the importance of reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS) together with nitric oxide synthase, acetylation of HIF-1, and the action of MAPK cascades. The paper also discusses the importance of hypoxia in the formation of chronic low-grade inflammation in cancerous tumors. Finally, we discuss the effects of cycling hypoxia on the tumor microenvironment, in particular on the expression of VEGF-A, CCL2/MCP-1, CXCL1/GRO-α, CXCL8/IL-8, and COX-2 together with PGE2. These factors induce angiogenesis and recruit various cells into the tumor niche, including neutrophils and monocytes which, in the tumor, are transformed into tumor-associated neutrophils (TAN) and tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) that participate in tumorigenesis.

Abstract
The respiratory system of women and men develops and functions in distinct neuroendocrine milieus. Despite differences in anatomy and neural control, homeostasis of arterial blood gases is ensured in healthy individuals regardless of sex. This convergence in function differs from the sex-based differences observed in many respiratory diseases. Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) results mainly from episodes of upper airway closure. This complex and multifactorial respiratory disorder shows significant sexual dimorphism in its clinical manifestations and comorbidities. Guided by recent progress from basic research, this review discusses the hypothesis that stress is necessary to reveal the sexual dimorphism of SDB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mechanisms involving obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are under increasing assessment. This study evaluated the correlation of OSA with the severity of NAFLD. MATERIALS AND METHODS Prospective study in which patients with at least one of metabolic syndrome (MS) criteria were initially assessed by the NAFLD fibrosis score and according to the outcome (intermediate or high risk of advanced fibrosis) underwent liver biopsy (exception of patients with clinical, ultrasound or endoscopic diagnosis of cirrhosis). All patients performed polysomnography. For statistical analysis, the patients were assembled into two groups: (1) without apnea or mild apnea and (2) moderate or severe apnea. In the correlation of OSA with the severity of NAFLD, the risk factors evaluated were: degree of steatosis, presence and severity of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and fibrosis. RESULTS Fifty-one patients were evaluated, 80.4% had systemic arterial hypertension (SAH), 68.6% type 2 diabetes mellitus, 62.7% dyslipidemia and 96.1% MS. Regarding the histological evaluation (n = 48), all had steatosis, 95.8% steatohepatitis and 83.3% fibrosis. In polysomnography, 80.4% were group 1 and 19.6% group 2. In univariate analysis, no correlation was found between steatosis severity, NASH and presence or severity of fibrosis with OSA. A multivariate analysis adjusted for obesity level, found that patients with moderate to severe OSA had an increased risk of hepatic fibrosis (odds ratio 1.22, 95% confidence interval: 1.02-1.45, P = 0.027). CONCLUSION The present study demonstrated an association between fibrosis and moderate to severe OSA, regardless of obesity.

High Plasma Cystine Levels Are Associated with Blood Pressure and Reversed by CPAP in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10071387.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) independent of obesity (OBS) imposes severe cardiovascular risk. To what extent plasma cystine concentration (CySS), a novel pro-oxidative vascular risk factor, is increased in OSA with or without OBS is presently unknown. We therefore studied CySS together with the redox state and precursor amino acids of glutathione (GSH) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in untreated male patients with OSA (apnea-hypopnea-index (AHI) > 15 h-1, n = 28) compared to healthy male controls (n = 25) stratifying for BMI ≥ or < 30 kg m-2. Fifteen OSA patients were reassessed after 3-5-months CPAP. CySS correlated with cumulative time at an O2-saturation <90% (Tu90%) (r = 0.34, p < 0.05) beside BMI (r = 0.58, p < 0.001) and was higher in subjects with "hypoxic stress" (59.4 ± 2.0 vs. 50.1 ± 2.7 µM, p < 0.01) defined as Tu90% ≥ 15.2 min (corresponding to AHI ≥ 15 h-1). Moreover, CySS significantly correlated with systolic (r = 0.32, p < 0.05) and diastolic (r = 0.31, p < 0.05) blood pressure. CPAP significantly lowered CySS along with blood pressure at unchanged BMI. Unexpectedly, GSH antioxidant capacity in PBMC was increased with OSA and reversed with CPAP. Plasma CySS levels are increased with OSA-related hypoxic stress and associated with higher blood pressure. CPAP decreases both CySS and blood pressure. The role of CySS in OSA-related vascular endpoints and their prevention by CPAP warrants further studies.

Abstract
Hypoxia is an integral component of the tumor microenvironment. Either as chronic or cycling hypoxia, it exerts a similar effect on cancer processes by activating hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) and nuclear factor (NF-κB), with cycling hypoxia showing a stronger proinflammatory influence. One of the systems affected by hypoxia is the CXC chemokine system. This paper reviews all available information on hypoxia-induced changes in the expression of all CXC chemokines (CXCL1, CXCL2, CXCL3, CXCL4, CXCL5, CXCL6, CXCL7, CXCL8 (IL-8), CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL11, CXCL12 (SDF-1), CXCL13, CXCL14, CXCL15, CXCL16, CXCL17) as well as CXC chemokine receptors—CXCR1, CXCR2, CXCR3, CXCR4, CXCR5, CXCR6, CXCR7 and CXCR8. First, we present basic information on the effect of these chemoattractant cytokines on cancer processes. We then discuss the effect of hypoxia-induced changes on CXC chemokine expression on the angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis and recruitment of various cells to the tumor niche, including myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs), regulatory T cells (Tregs) and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). Finally, the review summarizes data on the use of drugs targeting the CXC chemokine system in cancer therapies.

Abstract
Hypoxia, i.e., oxygen deficiency condition, is one of the most important factors promoting the growth of tumors. Since its effect on the chemokine system is crucial in understanding the changes in the recruitment of cells to a tumor niche, in this review we have gathered all the available data about the impact of hypoxia on β chemokines. In the introduction, we present the chronic (continuous, non-interrupted) and cycling (intermittent, transient) hypoxia together with the mechanisms of activation of hypoxia inducible factors (HIF-1 and HIF-2) and NF-κB. Then we describe the effect of hypoxia on the expression of chemokines with the CC motif: CCL1, CCL2, CCL3, CCL4, CCL5, CCL7, CCL8, CCL11, CCL13, CCL15, CCL16, CCL17, CCL18, CCL19, CCL20, CCL21, CCL22, CCL24, CCL25, CCL26, CCL27, CCL28 together with CC chemokine receptors: CCR1, CCR2, CCR3, CCR4, CCR5, CCR6, CCR7, CCR8, CCR9, and CCR10. To better understand the effect of hypoxia on neoplastic processes and changes in the expression of the described proteins, we summarize the available data in a table which shows the effect of individual chemokines on angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, and recruitment of eosinophils, myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC), regulatory T cells (Treg), and tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) to a tumor niche.

Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease worldwide and its incidence is definitely increasing. NAFLD is a metabolic disease with extensive multi-organ involvement, whose extra-hepatic manifestations include type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, obstructive sleep apnea, chronic kidney disease, osteoporosis, and polycystic ovarian syndrome. Recently, further evidence has given attention to pathological correlations not strictly related to metabolic disease, also incorporating in this broad spectrum of systemic involvement hypothyroidism, psoriasis, male sexual dysfunction, periodontitis, and urolithiasis. The most common cause of mortality in NAFLD is represented by cardiovascular disease, followed by liver-related complications. Therefore, clinicians should learn to screen and initiate treatment for these extra-hepatic manifestations, in order to provide appropriate multidisciplinary assessments and rigorous surveillance. This review evaluates the current evidence regarding extra-hepatic associations of NAFLD, focusing on the pathogenic hypothesis and the clinical implications.

Abstract
NEW FINDINGS What is the topic of this review? Remote ischaemic preconditioning (RIPC) and hypoxic preconditioning as novel therapeutic approaches for cardiac and neuroprotection. What advances does it highlight? There is improved understanding of mechanisms and signalling pathways associated with ischaemic and hypoxic preconditioning, and potential pitfalls with application of these therapies to clinical trials have been identified. Novel adaptations of preconditioning paradigms have also been developed, including intermittent hypoxia training, RIPC training and RIPC-exercise, extending their utility to chronic settings. ABSTRACT Myocardial infarction and stroke remain leading causes of death worldwide, despite extensive resources directed towards developing effective treatments. In this Symposium Report we highlight the potential applications of intermittent ischaemic and hypoxic conditioning protocols to combat the deleterious consequences of heart and brain ischaemia. Insights into mechanisms underlying the protective effects of intermittent hypoxia training are discussed, including the activation of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 and Nrf2 transcription factors, synthesis of antioxidant and ATP-generating enzymes, and a shift in microglia from pro- to anti-inflammatory phenotypes. Although there is little argument regarding the efficacy of remote ischaemic preconditioning (RIPC) in pre-clinical models, this strategy has not consistently translated into the clinical arena. This lack of translation may be related to the patient populations targeted thus far, and the anaesthetic regimen used in two of the major RIPC clinical trials. Additionally, we do not fully understand the mechanism through which RIPC protects the vital organs, and co-morbidities (e.g. hypercholesterolemia, diabetes) may interfere with its efficacy. Finally, novel adaptations have been made to extend RIPC to more chronic settings. One adaptation is RIPC-exercise (RIPC-X), an innovative paradigm that applies cyclical RIPC to blood flow restriction exercise (BFRE). Recent findings suggest that this novel exercise modality attenuates the exaggerated haemodynamic responses that may limit the use of conventional BFRE in some clinical settings. Collectively, intermittent ischaemic and hypoxic conditioning paradigms remain an exciting frontier for the protection against ischaemic injuries.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common and linked to a variety of poor health outcomes. A key modulator of this disease is nocturnal intermittent hypoxia. There is striking epidemiological evidence that patients with OSA have higher rates of cancer and cancer mortality. Small-animal models demonstrate an important role for systemic intermittent hypoxia in tumor growth and metastasis, yet the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Emerging data indicate that intermittent hypoxia activates the hypoxic response and inflammatory pathways in a manner distinct from chronic hypoxia. However, there is significant heterogeneity in published methods for modeling hypoxic conditions, which are often lacking in physiological relevance. This is particularly important for studying key transcriptional mediators of the hypoxic and inflammatory responses such as hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) and NF-κB. The relationship between HIF, the molecular clock, and circadian rhythm may also contribute to cancer risk in OSA. Building accurate in vitro models of intermittent hypoxia reflective of OSA is challenging but necessary to better elucidate underlying molecular pathways.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The pathogenesis of chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH)-induced abnormal hepatic lipid metabolism in rats remains unclear. Here, we investigated the therapeutic effect of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on abnormal hepatic lipid metabolism. MATERIAL AND METHODS Rats were subjected to hypoxia and NAC treatment, and evaluated in terms of hepatic lipid metabolism, hepatocyte ultrastructure, oxidative stress in hepatocytes, expression of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) and inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNFα), serum lipoprotein lipase (LPL) levels, and blood lipids (triglycerides and cholesterol). RESULTS Compared to the normoxic control group, animals in the hypoxic model group showed significant body weight gain; abnormal hepatic lipid metabolism; lipid vacuolization; accumulation of lipid droplets; abundant autophagosomes and lysosomes; significant increases in oxidative stress, inflammation level, and blood lipid levels; and significantly reduced LPL levels. Compared to control animals, rats in the treatment group exhibited normal body weight gain, improved lipid metabolism, fewer lipid droplets, alleviated ultrastructural injuries, decreased oxidative stress and inflammation level, as well as elevated LPL and reduced blood lipid levels. CONCLUSIONS The harmful effects of CIH on rat liver are possibly associated with the reactive oxygen species (ROS)/NF-κB signaling pathway. NAC is capable of attenuating lipid metabolism alterations and abnormal body weight gain in the CIH rat model, via a possible mechanism related to inhibition of ROS/NF-κB signaling.

Abstract
The relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been an issue of great concern. The primary purpose of this study was to determine the influence of OSA on the levels of liver enzymes including alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST). The secondary purpose was to estimate the effect of OSA on the histological lesions of NAFLD, such as steatosis, lobular inflammation, ballooning degeneration, fibrosis, as well as NAFLD activity score (NAS). A systematic literature review using PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Ovid technologies from January 2007 to April 2017 was performed, and 9 studies (2272 participants) that met the selection criteria were evaluated. The present study demonstrated that OSA was related to ALT levels, but no significant correlation was found with AST levels. The subgroup analysis showed that the severity of OSA was associated with ALT levels, not with AST levels. The meta-regression analysis showed that age, sex, homeostasis model assessment, diabetes mellitus, body mass index, and waist circumference did not have a significant effect on the levels of ALT and AST. OSA was also found to be significantly correlated with steatosis, lobular inflammation, ballooning degeneration, and fibrosis, but was not correlated with NAS. OSA was independently related to the development and progression of NAFLD in terms of liver enzyme level and histological alterations. Future studies should investigate the possible relevant mechanisms, thereby guiding the exploration of potential therapeutic implications to prevent the progression of disease.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), the most severe form of sleep disordered breathing, is characterized by intermittent hypoxia during sleep (IH), sleep fragmentation, and episodic hypercapnia. OSA is associated with increased risk for morbidity and mortality affecting cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurocognitive systems, and more recently with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and cancer-related deaths. Substantial variability in OSA outcomes suggests that genetically-determined and environmental and lifestyle factors affect the phenotypic susceptibility to OSA. Furthermore, OSA and obesity often co-exist and manifest activation of shared molecular end-organ injury mechanisms that if properly identified may represent potential therapeutic targets. A challenge in the development of non-invasive diagnostic assays in body fluids is the ability to identify clinically relevant biomarkers. Circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) include a heterogeneous population of vesicular structures including exosomes, prostasomes, microvesicles (MVs), ectosomes and oncosomes, and are classified based on their size, shape and membrane surface composition. Of these, exosomes (30-100nm) are very small membrane vesicles derived from multi-vesicular bodies or from the plasma membrane and play important roles in mediating cell-cell communication via cargo that includes lipids, proteins, mRNAs, miRNAs and DNA. We have recently identified a unique cluster of exosomal miRNAs in both humans and rodents exposed to intermittent hypoxia as well as in patients with OSA with divergent morbid phenotypes. Here we summarize such recent findings, and will focus on exosomal miRNAs in both adult and children which mediate intercellular communication relevant to OSA and endothelial dysfunction, and their potential value as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Oxidative stress is proposed as a central mediator in NAFLD pathogenesis, but the specific trigger for reactive oxygen species generation has not been clearly delineated. In addition, emerging evidence shows that obesity related obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and nocturnal hypoxia are associated with NAFLD progression in adults. The aim of this study was to determine if OSA/nocturnal hypoxia-induced oxidative stress promotes the progression of pediatric NAFLD. METHODS Subjects with biopsy proven NAFLD and lean controls were studied. Subjects underwent polysomnograms, liver histology scoring, laboratory testing, urine F(2)-isoprostanes (measure of lipid peroxidation) and 4-hydroxynonenal liver immunohistochemistry (in situ hepatic lipid peroxidation). RESULTS We studied 36 adolescents with NAFLD and 14 lean controls. The OSA/hypoxia group (69% of NAFLD subjects) had more severe fibrosis (64% stage 0-2; 36% stage 3) than those without OSA/hypoxia (100% stage 0-2), p=0.03. Higher F(2)-isoprostanes correlated with apnea/hypoxia index (r=0.39, p=0.03), % time SaO2 <90% (r=0.56, p=0.0008) and inversely with SaO2 nadir (r=-0.46, p=0.008). OSA/hypoxia was most severe in subjects with the greatest 4HNE staining (p=0.03). Increasing F(2)-isoprostanes(r=0.32, p=0.04) and 4HNE hepatic staining (r=0.47, p=0.007) were associated with worsening steatosis. Greater oxidative stress occurred in subjects with definite NASH as measured by F(2)-isoprostanes (p=0.06) and hepatic 4HNE (p=0.03) compared to those with borderline/not NASH. CONCLUSIONS These data support the role of nocturnal hypoxia as a trigger for localized hepatic oxidative stress, an important factor associated with the progression of NASH and hepatic fibrosis in obese pediatric patients. LAY SUMMARY Obstructive sleep apnea and low nighttime oxygen are associated with NAFLD progression in adults. In this study, we show that adolescents with NAFLD who have OSA and low oxygen have significant scar tissue in their livers. NAFLD subjects affected by OSA and low oxygen have a greater imbalance between the production of free radicals and their body's ability to counteract their harmful effects than subjects without OSA and low oxygen. This study shows that low oxygen levels may be an important trigger in the progression of pediatric NASH.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is now recognized as an independent and important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, heart failure and stroke. Clinical and experimental data have confirmed that intermittent hypoxia is a major contributor to these deleterious consequences. The repetitive occurrence of hypoxia-reoxygenation sequences generates significant amounts of free radicals, particularly in moderate to severe OSA patients. Moreover, in addition to hypoxia, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are potential inducers of the hypoxia inducible transcription factor-1 (HIF-1) that promotes the transcription of numerous adaptive genes some of which being deleterious for the cardiovascular system, such as the endothelin-1 gene. This review will focus on the involvement of the ROS-HIF-1-endothelin signaling pathway in OSA and intermittent hypoxia and discuss current and potential therapeutic approaches targeting this pathway to treat or prevent cardiovascular disease in moderate to severe OSA patients.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) affects an estimated 3–7% of the adult population, the frequency doubling at ages >60–65 years. As it evolves, OSA becomes frequently associated with cardiovascular, metabolic and neuropsychiatric pathologies defining OSA syndrome (OSAS). Exposing experimental animals to chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) can be used as a model of the recurrent hypoxic and O2 desaturation patterns observed in OSA patients. CIH is an important OSA event triggering associated pathologies; CIH induces carotid body (CB)-driven exaggerated sympathetic tone and overproduction of reactive oxygen species, related to the pathogenic mechanisms of associated pathologies observed in OSAS. Aiming to discover why OSAS is clinically less conspicuous in aged patients, the present study compares CIH effects in young (3–4 months) and aged (22–24 months) rats. To define potential distinctive patterns of these pathogenic mechanisms, mean arterial blood pressure as the final CIH outcome was measured. In young rats, CIH augmented CB sensory responses to hypoxia, decreased hypoxic ventilation and augmented sympathetic activity (plasma catecholamine levels and renal artery content and synthesis rate). An increased brainstem integration of CB sensory input as a trigger of sympathetic activity is suggested. CIH also caused an oxidative status decreasing aconitase/fumarase ratio and superoxide dismutase activity. In aged animals, CIH minimally affected CB responses, ventilation and sympathetic-related parameters leaving redox status unaltered. In young animals, CIH caused hypertension and in aged animals, whose baseline blood pressure was augmented, CIH did not augment it further. Plausible mechanisms of the differences and potential significance of these findings for the diagnosis and therapy of OSAS are discussed.

Abstract
KEY POINTS Adult animals that have been perinatally exposed to oxygen-rich atmospheres (hyperoxia), recalling those used for oxygen therapy in infants, exhibit a loss of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction, whereas vasoconstriction elicited by depolarizing agents is maintained. Loss of pulmonary hypoxic vasoconstriction is not linked to alterations in oxygen-sensitive K(+) currents in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells. Loss of hypoxic vasoconstriction is associated with early postnatal oxidative damage and corrected by an antioxidant diet. Perinatal hyperoxia damages carotid body chemoreceptor cell function and the antioxidant diet does not reverse it. The hypoxia-elicited increase in erythropoietin plasma levels is not affected by perinatal hyperoxia. The potential clinical significance of the findings in clinical situations such as pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or general anaesthesia is considered. ABSTRACT Adult mammalians possess three cell systems that are activated by acute bodily hypoxia: pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMC), carotid body chemoreceptor cells (CBCC) and erythropoietin (EPO)-producing cells. In rats, chronic perinatal hyperoxia causes permanent carotid body (CB) atrophy and functional alterations of surviving CBCC. There are no studies on PASMC or EPO-producing cells. Our aim is to define possible long-lasting functional changes in PASMC or EPO-producing cells (measured as EPO plasma levels) and, further, to analyse CBCC functional alterations. We used 3- to 4-month-old rats born and reared in a normal atmosphere or exposed to perinatal hyperoxia (55-60% O2 for the last 5-6 days of pregnancy and 4 weeks after birth). Perinatal hyperoxia causes an almost complete loss of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV), which was correlated with lung oxidative status in early postnatal life and prevented by antioxidant supplementation in the diet. O2 -sensitivity of K(+) currents in the PASMC of hyperoxic animals is normal, indicating that their inhibition is not sufficient to trigger HPV. Perinatal hyperoxia also abrogated responses elicited by hypoxia on catecholamine and cAMP metabolism in the CB. An increase in EPO plasma levels elicited by hypoxia was identical in hyperoxic and control animals, implying a normal functioning of EPO-producing cells. The loss of HPV observed in adult rats and caused by perinatal hyperoxia, comparable to oxygen therapy in premature infants, might represent a previously unrecognized complication of such a medical intervention capable of aggravating medical conditions such as regional pneumonias, atelectases or general anaesthesia in adult life.

Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis 2015; 1852:992-1000.

Abstract
The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) is a multi-ligand receptor. Alternative splicing and enzymatic shedding produce soluble forms that protect against damage by ligands including Advanced Glycation End products (AGEs). A link between RAGE and oxygen levels is evident from studies showing RAGE-mediated injury following hyperoxia. The effect of hypoxia on pulmonary RAGE expression and circulating sRAGE levels is however unknown. Therefore mice were exposed to chronic hypoxia for 21 d and expression of RAGE, sheddases in lungs and circulating sRAGE were determined. In addition, accumulation of AGEs in lungs and expression of the AGE detoxifying enzyme GLO1 and receptors were evaluated. In lung tissue gene expression of total RAGE, variants 1 and 3 were elevated in mice exposed to hypoxia, whereas mRAGE and sRAGE protein levels were decreased. In the hypoxic group plasma sRAGE levels were enhanced. Although the levels of pro-ADAM10 were elevated in lungs of hypoxia exposed mice, the relative amount of the active form was decreased and gelatinase activity unaffected. In the lungs, the RAGE ligand HMGB1 was decreased and of the AGEs, only LW-1 was increased by chronic hypoxia. Gene expression of AGE receptors 2 and 3 was significantly upregulated. Chronic hypoxia is associated with downregulation of pulmonary RAGE protein levels, but a relative increase in sRAGE. These alterations might be part of the adaptive and protective response mechanism to chronic hypoxia and are not associated with AGE formation except for the fluorophore LW-1 which emerges as a novel marker of tissue hypoxia.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) consists of sleep-related repetitive obstructions of upper airways that generate episodes of recurrent or intermittent hypoxia (IH). OSA commonly generates cardiovascular and metabolic pathologies defining the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Literature usually links OSA-associated pathologies to IH episodes that would cause an oxidative status and a carotid body-mediated sympathetic hyperactivity. Because cardiovascular and metabolic pathologies in obese patients and those with OSAS are analogous, we used models (24-wk-old Wistar rats) of IH (applied from weeks 22 to 24) and diet-induced obesity (O; animals fed a high-fat diet from weeks 12 to 24) to define the effect of each individual maneuver and their combination on the oxidative status and sympathetic tone of animals, and to quantify cardiovascular and metabolic parameters and their deviation from normality. We found that IH and O cause an oxidative status (increased lipid peroxides and diminished activities of superoxide dismutases), an inflammatory status (augmented C-reactive protein and nuclear factor kappa-B activation), and sympathetic hyperactivity (augmented plasma and renal artery catecholamine levels and synthesis rate); combined treatments worsened those alterations. IH and O augmented liver lipid content and plasma cholesterol, triglycerides, leptin, glycemia, insulin levels, and HOMA index, and caused hypertension; most of these parameters were aggravated when IH and O were combined. IH diminished ventilatory response to hypoxia, and hypercapnia and O created a restrictive ventilatory pattern; a combination of treatments led to restrictive hypoventilation. Data demonstrate that IH and O cause comparable metabolic and cardiovascular pathologies via misregulation of the redox status and sympathetic hyperactivity.

Abstract
Intermittent hypoxia (IH) has been extensively studied during the last decade, primarily as a surrogate model of sleep apnea. However, IH is a much more pervasive phenomenon in human disease, is viewed as a potential therapeutic approach, and has also been used in other disciplines, such as in competitive sports. In this context, adverse outcomes involving cardiovascular, cognitive, metabolic, and cancer problems have emerged in obstructive sleep apnea-based studies, whereas beneficial effects of IH have also been identified. Those a priori contradictory findings may not be as contradictory as initially thought. Indeed, the opposite outcomes triggered by IH can be explained by the specific characteristics of the large diversity of IH patterns applied in each study. The balance between benefits and injury appears to primarily depend on the ability of the organism to respond and activate adaptive mechanisms to IH. In this context, the adaptive or maladaptive responses can be generally predicted by the frequency, severity, and duration of IH. However, the presence of underlying conditions such as hypertension or obesity, as well as age, sex, or genotypic variance, may be important factors tilting the balance between an appropriate homeostatic response and decompensation. Here, the two possible facets of IH as derived from human and experimental animal settings will be reviewed.

Abstract
Rett syndrome (RTT) is a pervasive neurodevelopmental disorder mainly linked to mutations in the gene encoding the methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2). Respiratory dysfunction, historically credited to brainstem immaturity, represents a major challenge in RTT. Our aim was to characterize the relationships between pulmonary gas exchange abnormality (GEA), upper airway obstruction, and redox status in patients with typical RTT (n = 228) and to examine lung histology in a Mecp2-null mouse model of the disease. GEA was detectable in ~80% (184/228) of patients versus ~18% of healthy controls, with “high” (39.8%) and “low” (34.8%) patterns dominating over “mixed” (19.6%) and “simple mismatch” (5.9%) types. Increased plasma levels of non-protein-bound iron (NPBI), F2-isoprostanes (F2-IsoPs), intraerythrocyte NPBI (IE-NPBI), and reduced and oxidized glutathione (i.e., GSH and GSSG) were evidenced in RTT with consequently decreased GSH/GSSG ratios. Apnea frequency/severity was positively correlated with IE-NPBI, F2-IsoPs, and GSSG and negatively with GSH/GSSG ratio. A diffuse inflammatory infiltrate of the terminal bronchioles and alveoli was evidenced in half of the examined Mecp2-mutant mice, well fitting with the radiological findings previously observed in RTT patients. Our findings indicate that GEA is a key feature of RTT and that terminal bronchioles are a likely major target of the disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is characterized by elevated oxidative stress. Measurement of oxidative stress in saliva seems to be promising in long-term treatment monitoring of OSAS patients. In this study, our aim was to investigate whether short-term continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment would influence oxidative stress in saliva. METHODS Patients with diagnosed OSAS (16 women, 28 men) underwent polysomnography during the first night and CPAP treatment during the second night. Saliva samples were taken in the evening and morning on both days. Markers of oxidative stress and antioxidant status were analyzed in saliva. RESULTS Evening concentrations of the salivary thiobarbituric acid reacting substances (p < 0.001), advanced glycation end-products (p < 0.001), and advanced oxidation protein products (p < 0.01) were significantly lower than morning values during the diagnostic night. However, salivary concentrations of none of the oxidative stress markers were significantly influenced by the CPAP treatment. No changes in salivary antioxidant status after CPAP therapy were found. CONCLUSION Salivary markers of oxidative stress and antioxidant status do not change significantly after one night treatment with CPAP. On the contrary, after 1 month with CPAP therapy, reduced markers of oxidative stress were reported. Therefore, the future studies should be focused on finding the optimal sampling frequency to clarify the potential of saliva for the monitoring of OSAS treatment.
