Abstract
Secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) regulates the first step of inflammatory cascade and is involved in several pathological processes. sPLA2 also plays a role in preterm labor and parturition, since they are triggered by inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins. Interestingly, chorioamnionitis (i.e.: the presence of intrauterine inflammation) is also often associated with preterm birth. We aimed to verify if chorioamnionitis with fetal involvement modifies sPLA2 activity and expression profile in mothers and neonates delivered prematurely. We collected maternal plasma and amniotic fluid, as well as bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from preterm neonates born to mothers with or without clinical chorioamnionitis with fetal involvement. We measured concentrations of sPLA2 subtype-IIA and -IB, total enzyme activity and proteins. Urea ratio was used to obtain epithelial lining fluid concentrations. Enzyme activity measured in maternal plasma (p<0.001) and amniotic fluid (p<0.001) was higher in chorioamnionitis cases than in controls. This was mainly due to the increased production of sPLA2-IIA as the subtype -IB was present in a smaller amount and was similar between the two groups; sPLA2-IIA was increased in epithelial lining fluid (p=0.045) or increased, although without statistical significance, in maternal plasma (p=0.06) and amniotic fluid (p=0.08) of chorioamnionitis cases. Cytokines known to increase sPLA2-IIA expression (TNF-a, IL-1b) or whose expression was increased by sPLA2-IIA (IL-8) were higher in histologically confirmed chorioamnionitis (TNF-a (p=0.028), IL-1b (p<0.001) and IL-8 (p=0.038)). These data represent the basis for future studies on sPLA2-IIA inhibition to prevent deleterious consequences of chorioamnionitis and preterm birth.

Abstract
Background Metabolic pathways play an essential role in breast cancer. However, the role of metabolism-related genes in the early diagnosis of breast cancer remains unknown. Methods In our study, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) expression data and clinicopathological information from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and GSE20685 were obtained. Univariate cox regression and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analyses were performed on the differentially expressed metabolism-related genes. Then, the formula of the metabolism-related risk model was composed, and the risk score of each patient was calculated. The breast cancer patients were divided into high-risk and low-risk groups with a cutoff of the median expression value of the risk score, and the prognostic analysis was also used to analyze the survival time between these two groups. In the end, we also analyzed the expression, interaction, and correlation among genes in the metabolism-related gene risk model. Results The results from the prognostic analysis indicated that the survival was significantly poorer in the high-risk group than in the low-risk group in both TCGA and GSE20685 datasets. In addition, after adjusting for different clinicopathological features in multivariate analysis, the metabolism-related risk model remained an independent prognostic indicator in TCGA dataset. Conclusions In summary, we systematically developed a potential metabolism-related gene risk model for predicting prognosis in breast cancer patients.

Abstract
It has been generally accepted that severe forms of pulmonary arterial hypertension are associated with inflammation. Plasma levels in patients with severe pulmonary arterial hypertension show elevated levels of interleukins and mediators of inflammation and histologically the diseased small pulmonary arterioles show infiltrates of inflammatory and immune cells. Here, we review the literature that connects pulmonary hypertension with the arachidonic acid/5-lipoxygenase-derived leukotriens. This mostly preclinical background data together with the availability of 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors and leukotriene receptor blockers provide the rationale for testing the hypothesis that 5-lipoxygenase products contribute to the pathobiology of severe pulmonary arterial hypertension in a subgroup of patients.

Abstract
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in preterm infants. A key histopathological feature of BPD is stunted late lung development, where the process of alveolarization-the generation of alveolar gas exchange units-is impeded, through mechanisms that remain largely unclear. As such, there is interest in the clarification both of the pathomechanisms at play in affected lungs, and the mechanisms of de novo alveoli generation in healthy, developing lungs. A better understanding of normal and pathological alveolarization might reveal opportunities for improved medical management of affected infants. Furthermore, disturbances to the alveolar architecture are a key histopathological feature of several adult chronic lung diseases, including emphysema and fibrosis, and it is envisaged that knowledge about the mechanisms of alveologenesis might facilitate regeneration of healthy lung parenchyma in affected patients. To this end, recent efforts have interrogated clinical data, developed new-and refined existing-in vivo and in vitro models of BPD, have applied new microscopic and radiographic approaches, and have developed advanced cell-culture approaches, including organoid generation. Advances have also been made in the development of other methodologies, including single-cell analysis, metabolomics, lipidomics, and proteomics, as well as the generation and use of complex mouse genetics tools. The objective of this review is to present advances made in our understanding of the mechanisms of lung alveolarization and BPD over the period 1 January 2017-30 June 2019, a period that spans the 50th anniversary of the original clinical description of BPD in preterm infants.

Abstract
The group 1B phospholipase A2 (PLA2G1B) is a secreted phospholipase that catalyzes the hydrolytic removal of the sn-2 fatty acyl moiety from phospholipids. This enzyme is synthesized most abundantly in the pancreas and is also expressed in the lung. The first part of this review article focuses on the role of pancreatic-derived PLA2G1B in mediating lipid absorption and discusses how the PLA2G1B-derived metabolic product contributes to cardiometabolic diseases, including obesity, hyperinsulinemia, hyperlipidemia, and atherosclerosis. The anti-helminth properties of PLA2G1B will also be discussed. The second part of this review will focus on PLA2G1B expressed in the lung, and in vitro data suggest that how this enzyme may modulate lung inflammation via both hydrolytic activity-dependent and -dependent mechanisms. Finally, recent studies revealing a relationship between PLA2G1B and cancer will also be discussed. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Novel functions of phospholipase A2 Guest Editors: Makoto Murakami and Gerard Lambeau.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To elucidate the pathogenic role of leukotriene B4 (LTB4) in increased pulmonary microvascular endothelial cell permeability induced by one lung ventilation (OLV) in rabbits. METHODS Forty-eight healthy Japanese white rabbits were randomly divided into control group (group C), saline pretreatment group (group S), bestatin (a leukotriene A4 hydrolase (LTA4H) inhibitor) plus saline pretreatment group (group B), OLV group (group O), saline pretreatment plus OLV group (group SO) and bestatin plus saline pretreatment with OLV group (group BO). ELISA was used to detect LTB4 content in the lung tissues, and LTA4H and phospholipase Cεl (PLCEl) expressions were examined by Western blotting and quantitative PCR. The wet/dry weight (W/D) ratio of the lung, lung permeability index and the expressions of myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) protein and mRNA in the lung tissues were determined to evaluate the permeability of the pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (PMVECs). The severities of lung injury were evaluated by lung histomorphological scores. RESULTS No significant differences were found among groups C, S and B except that LTA4H expressions was significantly lower in group B than in groups C and S (P<0.05). OLV significantly increased the expressions of LTA4H (P<0.05) and resulted in LTB4 overproduction in the lungs (P<0.05) accompanied by significantly enhanced PLCE1 expression and PMVEC permeability (P<0.05). Pretreatment with bestatin, significantly reduced the expression of LTA4H and LTB4 production (P<0.05) and down-regulated the expression of PLCE1 in the lungs of the rabbits receiving OLV (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Bestatin plays a protective role in OLV-induced rabbit lung injury by downregulating LTA4H to reduce the production of LTB4 in the lungs. LTB4 can increase PMVEC permeability by up-regulating PLCE1 expression in rabbits with OLV-induced lung injury.
