Abstract
Mechanical ventilation is a life-support system used to ensure blood gas exchange and to assist the respiratory muscles in ventilating the lung during the acute phase of lung disease or following surgery. Positive-pressure mechanical ventilation differs considerably from normal physiologic breathing. This may lead to several negative physiological consequences, both on the lungs and on peripheral organs. First, hemodynamic changes can affect cardiovascular performance, cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), and drainage of renal veins. Second, the negative effect of mechanical ventilation (compression stress) on the alveolar-capillary membrane and extracellular matrix may cause local and systemic inflammation, promoting lung and peripheral-organ injury. Third, intra-abdominal hypertension may further impair lung and peripheral-organ function during controlled and assisted ventilation. Mechanical ventilation should be optimized and personalized in each patient according to individual clinical needs. Multiple parameters must be adjusted appropriately to minimize ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI), including: inspiratory stress (the respiratory system inspiratory plateau pressure); dynamic strain (the ratio between tidal volume and the end-expiratory lung volume, or inspiratory capacity); static strain (the end-expiratory lung volume determined by positive end-expiratory pressure [PEEP]); driving pressure (the difference between the respiratory system inspiratory plateau pressure and PEEP); and mechanical power (the amount of mechanical energy imparted as a function of respiratory rate). More recently, patient self-inflicted lung injury (P-SILI) has been proposed as a potential mechanism promoting VILI. In the present chapter, we will discuss the physiological and pathophysiological consequences of mechanical ventilation and how to personalize mechanical ventilation parameters.

Biogenic selenium nanoparticles synthesized by Lactobacillus casei ATCC 393 alleviate intestinal epithelial barrier dysfunction caused by oxidative stress via Nrf2 signaling-mediated mitochondrial pathway. Int J Nanomedicine 2019; 14:4491-4502. [PMID: 31417254 PMCID: PMC6593357 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s199193] [Citation(s) in RCA: 42] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2018] [Accepted: 05/08/2019] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Selenium (Se) can exert antioxidative activity and prevent the body from experiencing oxidative injury. Biogenic Se nanoparticles (SeNPs) synthesized by probiotics possess relatively strong chemical stability, high bioavailability, and low toxicity, this makes them potential Se supplements. Previously, we demonstrated that SeNPs synthesized by Lactobacillus casei ATCC 393 can alleviate hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced human and porcine intestinal epithelial cells' oxidative damage. However, the antioxidant mechanism remains unclear. Methods: The possible antioxidant mechanism and protective effect of SeNPs on intestinal epithelial permeability and mitochondrial function were evaluated by establishing an H2O2-induced oxidative damage model of human colon mucosal epithelial cells (NCM460) and conducting Nrf2 inhibitor interference experiments. Mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), mitochondrial DNA content, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), ROS, and protein expression levels of Nrf2-related genes were determined. Mitochondrial ultrastructure was visualized by transmission electron microscopy. Results: An amount of 4 μg Se/mL of SeNPs synthesized by L. casei ATCC 393 alleviated increase of ROS, reduced ATP and MMP, and maintained intestinal epithelial permeability in NCM460 cells challenged by H2O2. In addition, SeNPs improved the protein levels of Nrf2, HO-1, and NQO-1. Moreover, SeNPs attenuated the damage of mitochondrial ultrastructure caused by oxidative stress. Nrf2 inhibitor (ML385) abolished the regulatory effect of SeNPs on intracellular ROS production. Conclusion: Data suggest that biogenic SeNPs synthesized by L. casei ATCC 393 can protect the intestinal epithelial barrier function against oxidative damage by alleviating ROS-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction via Nrf2 signaling pathway. Biogenic SeNPs are an attractive candidate for potential Se supplement agent in preventing oxidative stress-related intestinal disease by targeting mitochondria.

Dai-Huang-Fu-Zi-Tang Alleviates Intestinal Injury Associated with Severe Acute Pancreatitis by Regulating Mitochondrial Permeability Transition Pore of Intestinal Mucosa Epithelial Cells. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2017; 2017:4389048. [PMID: 29403537 PMCID: PMC5748303 DOI: 10.1155/2017/4389048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2017] [Accepted: 11/21/2017] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
Objective The aim of the present study was to examine whether Dai-Huang-Fu-Zi-Tang (DHFZT) could regulate mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) of intestinal mucosa epithelial cells for alleviating intestinal injury associated with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Methods A total of 72 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 3 groups (sham group, SAP group, and DHFZT group, n = 24 per group). The rats in each group were divided into 4 subgroups (n = 6 per subgroup) accordingly at 1, 3, 6, and 12 h after the operation. The contents of serum amylase, D-lactic acid, diamine oxidase activity, and degree of MPTP were measured by dry chemical method and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The change of mitochondria of intestinal epithelial cells was observed by transmission electron microscopy. Results The present study showed that DHFZT inhibited the openness of MPTP at 3, 6, and 12 h after the operation. Meanwhile, it reduced the contents of serum D-lactic acid and activity of diamine oxidase activity and also drastically relieved histopathological manifestations and epithelial cells injury of intestine. Conclusion DHFZT alleviates intestinal injury associated SAP via reducing the openness of MPTP. In addition, DHFZT could also decrease the content of serum diamine oxidase activity and D-lactic acid after SAP.

Abstract
AIM Mangiferin (MF), a xanthonoid from Mangifera indica, possesses anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and potent antioxidant effects; however, its protective effect against mesenteric ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced liver injury has not been fully clarified. The study was designed to assess the possible mechanism of action of MF against mesenteric I/R model. MAIN METHODS Male Wister rats were treated with MF (20mg/kg, i.p) or the vehicle for 3 days before I/R, which was induced by clamping the superior mesenteric artery for 30min followed by declamping for 60min. KEY FINDINGS The mechanistic studies revealed that MF protected the 2 organs studied, viz., liver and intestine partly via increasing the content of β-catenin and PPAR-γ along with decreasing that of GSK-3β and the phosphorylated NF-қB-p65. MF antioxidant effect was evidenced by increasing contents of total antioxidant capacity and GST, besides normalizing that of MDA. Regarding the anti-inflammatory effect, MF reduced IL-1β and IL-6, effects that were mirrored on the tissue content of MPO. Moreover, MF possessed anti-apoptotic character evidenced by elevating Bcl-2 content and reducing that of caspase-3. In the serum, intestinal I/R increased the activity of ALT, AST, and creatine kinase. SIGNIFICANCE The intimated protective mechanisms of MF against mesenteric I/R are mediated, partially, by modulation of oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis possibly via the involvement of Wnt/β-catenin/NF-қβ/ PPAR-γ signaling pathways.

Abstract
There is an increasing amount of evidence suggesting that T cell deficiency contributes to tumor development. However, it is unclear whether T cell deficiency leads to liver and colon carcinogenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of T cells on liver and colon carcinogenesis. Athymic F344/N Jcl-rnu/- (nu/nu) rats and euthymic F344/N Jcl-rnu/+ (nu/+) rats were administered the carcinogen azoxymethane (AOM) at a dose of 15 mg/kg body wt once a week for 2 weeks. At 48 weeks after the second carcinogen treatment, the rats were sacrificed, and livers and colons were examined. Apoptosis and cell proliferation were evaluated by DNA fragmentation and proliferating cell nuclear antigen assays, respectively. Wild-type p53 and members of the Jun and Fos oncogene families were detected by Western blotting. AOM treatment induced 100% liver tumor and 63.6% colon tumor incidence in T cell–deficient nu/nu rats, compared with 0% and 38.5% incidence in nu/+ rats. T cell deficiency promoted the inhibitory action of AOM on apoptosis in both liver and colon at 48 weeks. In contrast, T cell deficiency increased cell proliferation after AOM treatment in both tissues. Wild-type p53 was reduced in both tissues of T cell–deficient rats. AOM treatment induced c-Jun and c-Fos expressions in the liver but increased only Fos B in the colon, whereas T cell deficiency enhanced c-Jun overexpression in the liver. These results suggest that T cell deficiency leads to liver carcinogenesis partly by a reduction in wild-type p53 and increasing c-Jun expression in AOM-treated rats.

Abstract
Intestinal ischemia is a devastating intraabdominal emergency that often necessitates surgical intervention. Mortality rates can be high, and patients who survive often have significant long-term morbidity. The implementation of traditional medical therapies to prevent or treat intestinal ischemia have been sparse over the last decade, and therefore, the use of novel therapies are becoming more prevalent. Cellular therapy using mesenchymal stromal cells is one such treatment modality that is attracting noteworthy attention in the scientific community. Several groups have seen benefit with cellular therapy, but the optimal cell line has not been identified. The purpose of this review is to: 1) Review the mechanism of intestinal ischemia and reperfusion injury, 2) Identify the mechanisms of how cellular therapy may be therapeutic for this disease, and 3) Compare various MSC tissue sources to maximize potential therapeutic efficacy in the treatment of intestinal I/R diseases.

Abstract
Lipid metabolism is regulated by multiple signaling pathways, and generates a variety of bioactive lipid molecules. These bioactive lipid molecules known as signaling molecules, such as fatty acid, eicosanoids, diacylglycerol, phosphatidic acid, lysophophatidic acid, ceramide, sphingosine, sphingosine-1-phosphate, phosphatidylinositol-3 phosphate, and cholesterol, are involved in the activation or regulation of different signaling pathways. Lipid metabolism participates in the regulation of many cellular processes such as cell growth, proliferation, differentiation, survival, apoptosis, inflammation, motility, membrane homeostasis, chemotherapy response, and drug resistance. Bioactive lipid molecules promote apoptosis via the intrinsic pathway by modulating mitochondrial membrane permeability and activating different enzymes including caspases. In this review, we discuss recent data in the fields of lipid metabolism, lipid-mediated apoptosis, and cancer therapy. In conclusion, understanding the underlying molecular mechanism of lipid metabolism and the function of different lipid molecules could provide the basis for cancer cell death rationale, discover novel and potential targets, and develop new anticancer drugs for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is a naturally occurring phospholipid that mediates diverse effects such as physiological and pathological inflammation, immunosuppression, and cancer. Several lines of evidence support both positive and negative roles for PAF in carcinogenesis. PAF stimulates cell growth, oncogenic transformation, and metastasis, but can also limit proliferation and induce apoptosis. The biological context and microenvironment seem to define whether PAF has pro- or anticarcinogenic effects. To investigate the role of exacerbated PAF signaling in colon cancer, we conducted cell-based and in vivo studies using genetically engineered mice lacking expression of phospholipase A2 group 7 (PLA2G7), an enzyme that specifically metabolizes PAF and structurally related glycerophospholipids. Absence of Pla2g7 robustly decreased intestinal polyposis and colon tumor formation in Apc(Min)(/+) mice, suggesting an antitumorigenic role for PAF in settings characterized by aberrant function of the tumor suppressor Adenomatous polyposis coli (Apc). In colonic epithelial cells, exposure to a PAF analog led to dephosphorylation of Akt at serine-473 and induction of apoptosis. The mechanism of this response involved formation of a complex between β-arrestin 1 and the Akt phosphatase PHLPP2, and activation of the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis. Our results suggest that strategies based on inhibiting PLA2G7 activity or increasing PAF-mediated signaling hold promise for the treatment of intestinal malignancies that harbor mutations in APC.

Abstract
Portal hypertension (PHT) gastropathy is a frequent complication of liver cirrhosis and one of the leading causes of death from cirrhosis. Apoptosis is widely considered to be an active energy-dependent mode of cell death and a distinct entity from necrotic cell death. It is unclear whether gastric mucosal apoptosis is involved in PHT gastropathy. Prostaglandins (PGs) produced through cyclooxygenase (COX) are thought to play a key role in protection of the gastrointestinal mucosa from injury and apoptosis. However, the role of COX in PHT gastropathy is still not clearly understood. The aims of this study were to investigate whether (1) gastric mucosal apoptosis is involved in PHT gastropathy and (2) downregulation of COX contributes to this apoptosis. In this study, we show that gastric mucosal apoptosis was remarkably increased while mucosal proliferation was inhibited in PHT rats. Gastric mucosal COX-1 was significantly suppressed at both the mRNA and protein levels, and PGE(2) was reduced in PHT rats. Further, PGE(2) treatment suppressed gastric mucosal apoptosis in PHT rats. However, gastric mucosal COX-2 levels did not differ between sham-operated rats and PHT rats. Gastric mucosal levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and Fas ligand, but not TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand, were increased, and activated caspase-8 and caspase-3 levels were upregulated in PHT rats. The release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria to the cytosol was not observed in PHT rats. Our data indicate that downregulation of COX-1 is involved in gastric mucosal apoptosis via death signaling-mediated type-I cell death in PHT rats.

Abstract
To investigate whether simultaneous exposure to acrylamide (ACR) and long-term dietary corn oil induces colon cancer by inhibiting the tumor suppressor gene p53-mediated mitochondria-dependent apoptosis in rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were given intraperitoneal injections of ACR at dose of 10 mg/kgbw and diets supplemented with 10% corn oil for 8 wks; and then rats were still fed with diets supplemented with 10% oil for other 48 wks. Colonic aberrant crypt foci (ACF) and tumors, including adenomas and carcinomas, were examined at 12, 24, 36, 48 week post ACR-exposure. Colonic apoptosis and cell proliferation, expression of Wild type (wt) p53, Bcl-2, Bax and caspase-3, were detected at 48 week post ACR-exposure. ACF was found at 12 week and colon cancer invasion was found at 48 week in ACR rats on long-term dietary corn oil. Apoptosis was decreased and cell proliferation was increased in colonic mucosa in ACR-treated rats on dietary corn oil compared to vehicle rats on basal diet ( P < 0.05). In ACR rats on dietary corn oil, mitochondrial wt p53 was significantly inhibited through decreased mitochondrial localization of wt p53 and increased cytosolic p53, resulting in the up-regulation of Bcl-2 and the down-regulation of Bax in the mitochondria, also inhibition of the release of cytochrome-c from the mitochondria into the cytosol and protein level of caspase-3 ( P < 0.05). Results suggest that simultaneous exposure to ACR and long-term dietary corn oil induces development of colon cancer partly by inhibiting the tumor suppressor gene p53-mediated mitochondria-dependent apoptosis.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate the effectiveness of direct hemoperfusion with polymyxin B-immobilized fibers (DHP-PMX therapy) on warm ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury of the small intestine.
METHODS: The proximal jejunum and distal ileum of mongrel dogs were resected. Warm ischemia was performed by clamping the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and vein (SMV) for 2 h. Blood flow to the proximal small intestine was restored 1 h after reperfusion, and the distal small intestine was used as a stoma. The experiment was discontinued 6 h after reperfusion. The dogs were divided into two groups: the DHP-PMX group (n = 6, DHP-PMX was performed for 180 min; from 10 min prior to reperfusion to 170 min after reperfusion) and the control group (n = 5). The rate pressure product (RPP), SMA blood flow, mucosal tissue blood flow, and intramucosal pH (pHi) were compared between the two groups. The serum interleukin (IL)-10 levels measured 170 min after reperfusion were also compared.
RESULTS: The RPP at 6 h after reperfusion was significantly higher in the PMX group than in the control group (12 174 ± 1832 mmHg/min vs 8929 ± 1797 mmHg/min, P < 0.05). The recovery rates of the SMA blood flow at 1 and 6 h after reperfusion were significantly better in the PMX group than in the control group (61% ± 7% vs 44% ± 4%, P < 0.05, and 59% ± 5% vs 35% ± 5%, P < 0.05, respectively). The recovery rate of the mucosal tissue blood flow and the pHi levels at 6 h after reperfusion were significantly higher in the PMX group (61% ± 8% vs 31% ± 3%, P < 0.05 and 7.91 ± 0.06 vs 7.69 ± 0.08, P < 0.05, respectively). In addition, the serum IL-10 levels just before DHP-PMX removal were significantly higher in the PMX group than in the control group (1 569 ± 253 pg/mL vs 211 ± 40 pg/mL, P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: DHP-PMX therapy reduced warm I/R injury of the small intestine. IL-10 may play a role in inhibiting I/R injury during DHP-PMX therapy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Ischaemia and reperfusion (IR) of the small bowel is involved in many clinical conditions. A key component in IR-induced tissue damage is microvascular dysfunction. The aim was to investigate the role of leucocytes and platelets in capillary flow impediment and tissue damage.
Methods
Anaesthetized rats were subjected to 30 min warm ischaemia of the small bowel, followed by 1 h reperfusion. To elucidate the influence of leucocytes on platelet adhesion, leucocyte–vessel wall interactions induced by IR were prevented by anti-platelet activating factor (PAF) or anti-intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1. Intravital videomicroscopy was performed and tissue injury was evaluated histologically.
Results
In submucosal venules, IR induced an increase in the median number of interacting leucocytes from 3 to 10 and 20 leucocytes per 100-µm venule segment after 10 and 60 min reperfusion respectively. Anti-PAF or anti-ICAM-1 completely attenuated this increase, resulting in an eightfold improvement in submucosal capillary flow and reduced tissue injury. Shedding of villi no longer occurred. Platelet–vessel wall interactions occurred particularly in submucosal venules, but were not affected by anti-PAF or anti-ICAM-1.
Conclusion
Small bowel IR initiated an inflammatory and thrombotic response in the submucosal layer only. Attenuation of leucocyte adhesion improved submucosal capillary perfusion, preventing shedding of mucosal villi.

Abstract
Folate deficiency increases stroke risk. We examined whether folate deficiency affects platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1), which is an immunoglobulin-associated cell adhesion molecule and mediates the final common pathway of neutrophil transendothelial migration, in blood vessels in the gerbil dentate gyrus after transient forebrain ischemia. Gerbils were exposed to a folic acid-deficient diet (FAD) for 3 months and then subjected to common carotid artery occlusion for 5 min. In the control diet (CD)- and FAD-treated sham-operated groups, weak PECAM-1 immunoreactivity was detected in the blood vessels located in the dentate gyrus. PECAM-1 immunoreactivity in both groups was increased by 4 days after ischemic insult. PECAM-1 immunoreactivity in the FAD-treated group was twice as high that in the CD-treated-sham-operated group 4 days after ischemic insult. Western blot analyses showed that the change patterns in PECAM-1 protein levels in the dentate gyrus in both groups after ischemic insult were similar to changes in PECAM-1 immunohistochemistry in the ischemic dentate gyrus. Our results suggest that folate deficiency enhances PECAM-1 in the dentate gyrus induced by transient ischemia.

Abstract
Apoptosis is a key regulator for the normal turnover of the intestinal mucosa, and abnormalities associated with this function have been linked to inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer. Despite this, little is known about the mechanism(s) mediating intestinal epithelial cell apoptosis. Villin is an actin regulatory protein that is expressed in every cell of the intestinal epithelium as well as in exocrine glands associated with the gastrointestinal tract. In this study we demonstrate for the first time that villin is an epithelial cell-specific anti-apoptotic protein. Absence of villin predisposes mice to dextran sodium sulfate-induced colitis by promoting apoptosis. To better understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms of the anti-apoptotic function of villin, we overexpressed villin in the Madin-Darby canine kidney Tet-Off epithelial cell line to demonstrate that expression of villin protects cells from apoptosis by maintaining mitochondrial integrity thus inhibiting the activation of caspase-9 and caspase-3. Furthermore, we report that the anti-apoptotic response of villin depends on activation of the pro-survival proteins, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and phosphorylated Akt. The results of our studies shed new light on the previously unrecognized function of villin in the regulation of apoptosis in the gastrointestinal epithelium.

Abstract
Pathophysiological processes involving inflammatory response may affect absorption and biotransformation of some drugs, modifying their pharmacokinetic behaviour. Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury has been used as a model for inflammatory processes. The aim of this work was to study the effect of intestinal I/R injury on the absorption and metabolism processes of one orally administered drug, albendazole that is anthelmintic drug, it undergoes intestinal bioconversion into albendazole sulfoxide by two enzymatic systems, cytochromes P450 (CYP450) and flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMO). Male Wistar rats were used to study the influence of I/R in the intestinal absorption and metabolism of albendazole, after 60 min of mesenteric occlusion and 30 min of reperfusion. The intestinal studies were performed in microsomal, and everted ring incubations. During in situ studies, the I/R group had faster disappearance of albendazole from the lumen. In addition, albendazole only appeared in blood samples of the I/R group, while albendazole sulfoxide appeared in both samples and was higher in the control group. These findings are supported by significant reductions of albendazole sulfoxide formation in intestinal everted ring assays and in microsomal incubations after the I/R process. Both metabolizing systems, CYP4503A and FMO, were affected by I/R. Our data indicate that I/R injury, considered as an inflammatory model, reduces absorption and metabolism processes of albendazole.

Abstract
Programmed cell death or apoptosis is a well regulated physiological form of cellular autodestruction. It plays an essential role in embryonic development, homeostasis, remodeling, surveillance, and host defense mechanisms. Conversely dysregulation of apoptosis, resulting in either too less or excessive cell death is implicated in pathogenesis of stroke, myocardial infarction, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer and autoimmmune disorders. Apoptosis is coordinated by a family of cysteine proteinases called caspases, which dismantle the cell by targeting panoply of proteins. The mammalian caspase family contains 14 members, a subset participates in cellular demise and the remaining are involved in the processing of pro-inflammatory cytokines. We have tried to develop a simplified picture of basic apoptotic mechanisms on the basis of recent insights into the area.

Abstract
Hypoxic ischemic brain injury (HIBI) is a common cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity. To date, no study has investigated the role of platelet-activating factor (PAF) antagonists on neuronal apoptosis in neonatal rat model of HIBI. In the present study, we evaluated the effect of a highly potent and selective PAF antagonist (ABT-491) on neuronal apoptosis in neonatal rat model of HIBI. Seven-day-old Wistar rat pups were subjected to right common carotid artery ligation and hypoxia (92% nitrogen and 8% oxygen) for 2 h. They were treated with ABT-491 or saline either immediately before or after hypoxia. In sham group animals, neither ligation, nor hypoxia was performed. Neuronal apoptosis was evaluated by the terminal-transferase mediated dUTP biotin nick-end-labeling (TUNEL) and caspase-3 staining methods. Administration of ABT-491 either before or after hypoxia resulted in significant reduction of the numbers of apoptotic cells in both hemispheres, when compared to saline treatment group. The numbers of apoptotic cells in right hemispheres in all groups were significantly higher than that in the left hemispheres. These results suggested that ABT-491, a highly potent and selective PAF antagonist, administration either before or after hypoxia reduces apoptosis and we propose that ABT-491 may be a novel approach in the treatment of HIBI.

Abstract
Platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) is a phospholipase A2 that inactivates potent lipid messengers, such as PAF and modified phospholipids generated in settings of oxidant stress. The catalytic activity of PAF-AH is sensitive to oxidants, a feature that may have pathological consequences. We report that peroxynitrite, an oxidant species generated after cellular activation, mediates oxidative inactivation of PAF-AH. We found that peroxynitrite inactivated and derivatized the recombinant protein and obtained evidence supporting a role for a methionine and two tyrosine residues in this process. We employed interspecies comparisons and site-directed mutagenesis and identified a role for M-117, and a smaller contribution of Y-307 and Y-335 as targets of oxidant attack using free and lipoprotein-associated recombinant proteins. M-117 is adjacent to W-115 and L-116, which are essential for association of PAF-AH with LDL. Oxidation of LDL-associated PAF-AH partially dissociated the enzyme from the particles. Similarly, oxidation of the purified enzyme in the absence of lipoproteins prevented subsequent association with LDL. These results provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms that mediate inactivation of PAF-AH in settings of oxidant stress and the consequences of oxidation on the ability of this enzyme to associate with LDL.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the influence of platelet-activating factor (PAF) on the induction of apoptosis-regulating factors in B16F10 melanoma cells. PAF increased the expression of mRNA and the protein synthesis of antiapoptotic factors, such as Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL, but did not increase the expression of the proapoptotic factor, Bax. A selective nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) inhibitor, parthenolide, inhibited the effects of PAF. Furthermore, PAF inhibited etoposide-induced increases in caspase-3, caspase-8, and caspase-9 activities, as well as cell death. p50/p65 heterodimer increased the mRNA expression of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL and decreased etoposide-induced caspase activities and cell death. In an in vivo model in which Matrigel was injected s.c., PAF augmented the growth of B16F10 cells and attenuated etoposide-induced inhibition of B16F10 cells growth. These data indicate that PAF induces up-regulation of antiapoptotic factors in a NF-kappaB-dependent manner in a melanoma cell line, therefore suggesting that PAF may diminish the cytotoxic effect of chemotherapeutic agents.

Abstract
We have previously demonstrated that fasting and ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) induced apoptosis in rat intestinal mucosa. It is widely accepted that apoptosis is induced through two main pathways. This study aimed to compare apoptotic pathways following fasting and I/R. Rats were divided into two groups: the I/R group involved occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery for 60 min, followed by 60-min reperfusion, whereas the fasting group involved fasting for 24 or 48 h. Intestinal apoptosis was assessed as percentage of fragmented DNA, by electrophoresis and by a terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated dUDP-biotin nick- end labeling (TUNEL) assay. Apoptotic proteins including death ligands/receptors and caspases were evaluated by Western blot analysis. Small intestinal mucosal height and mitochondrial dehydrogenase function were assessed. Fasting and I/R significantly induced intestinal apoptosis. Mucosal height was significantly decreased in fasting rats, and mitochondrial dysfunction was induced only by I/R. Expressions of Fas, Fas ligand, and TNF-alpha type 1 receptor were enhanced in fasting and I/R rats. After I/R, expressions of cytochrome c and cleaved caspase-9 were significantly increased. In contrast, expressions of cleaved caspase-8 and cleaved caspase-3 increased in fasting rats. Fasting promoted mucosal apoptosis via a receptor-mediated type I apoptotic pathway in the rat small intestine, and I/R induced apoptosis via a mitochondria-mediated type II pathway.

Abstract
Although ischemia is the leading cause of acute renal failure in human, there is little information on the remodeling the kidney endothelium matrix during ischemic injury. In this study, we investigated the activity and expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9, in an isolated endothelial fraction following an acute in vivo reversible ischemia induced in rats by vascular clamping. Ischemia increased serum creatinine levels 1.4-fold, hallmark of acute renal failure. Isolation of the endothelial cell fraction was performed by affinity chromatography using an anti-PECAM-1 antibody. The isolated fraction was assessed by Western blotting analysis of endothelial cell markers. The positively selected fractions were enriched in the endothelial markers eNOS and PECAM-1 by 128-fold and 44-fold, respectively. Gelatin zymography showed that ischemia strongly stimulated proteolytic activity of proMMP-2 (1.8-fold), proMMP-9 (3-fold) and MMP-9 (4-fold) in the endothelial fractions. Western blot analysis indicated that TIMP-2 protein level increased by 3.2-fold in the endothelial fractions during ischemia. Surprisingly, TIMP-1 was absent from the endothelial preparations but was easily detected in the non-endothelial cells. Levels of the endocytic receptor LRP were increased by 2-fold during ischemia in the endothelial fractions. Occludin, a known in vivo MMP-9 substrate, was partly degraded in the endothelial fractions during ischemia, suggesting that the MMP-9 which was upregulated during ischemia was functional. These data suggest that ischemia in kidney could lead to the degradation of the vascular basement membrane and to increased permeability. This suggests new therapeutic approaches for ischemic pathologies by targeting MMP-9 and its regulators.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to investigate whether central nervous system-related feeding behavior regulates mucosal apoptosis in rat small intestines. METHODS The test solutions used in this study were an H(1) receptor antagonist (chlorpheniramine maleate), 2-deoxy-D-glucose, leptin, and 1-deoxy-D-glucosamine (2-amino-1,5-anhydro-2-deoxy-D-glucitol). Test solutions were injected into the third cerebroventricles of rats. Feeding behavior and jejunal apoptosis were evaluated both with and without truncal vagotomy. Intestinal apoptosis was evaluated by percentage fragmented DNA, electrophoresis, and TUNEL staining. RESULTS Chlorpheniramine and 2-deoxy-D-glucose elicited feeding, whereas leptin and 1-deoxy-D-glucosamine suppressed feeding. The test solutions, which elicited feeding (0.24 and 24 micromol/rat of chlorpheniramine and 2-deoxy-D-glucose, respectively), suppressed mucosal apoptosis in the rat jejunum 1 h after cerebroventricular infusion. In contrast, the test solutions, which suppressed feeding (8 and 24 micromol/rat of leptin and 1-deoxy-D-glucosamine, respectively), induced jejunal mucosal apoptosis 3 h after infusion. The effects of the test solutions on feeding behavior and changes in apoptosis were not affected by truncal vagotomy. CONCLUSION The central nervous system, which regulates feeding behavior, might control intestinal function through the regulation of intestinal apoptosis.

Abstract
During ischemia, the cell structures are progressively damaged, but restoration of the blood flow, paradoxically, intensifies the lesions caused by the ischemia. The mechanisms of ischemia injury and reperfusion (I/R) have not been completely defined and many studies have been realized in an attempt to find an ideal therapy for mesenteric I/R. The occlusion and reperfusion of the splanchnic arteries provokes local and systemic alterations principally derived from the release of cytotoxic substances and the interaction between neutrophils and endothelial cells. Substances involved in the process are discussed in the present review, like oxygen-derived free radicals, nitric oxide, transcription factors, complement system, serotonin and pancreatic proteases. The mechanisms of apoptosis, alterations in other organs, therapeutic and evaluation methods are also discussed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review the current literature on possible mechanisms by which mechanical ventilation may initiate or aggravate acute renal failure. DATA SOURCE A Medline database and references from identified articles were used to perform a literature search relating to mechanical ventilation and acute renal failure. DATA SYNTHESIS Acute renal failure may be initiated or aggravated by mechanical ventilation through three different mechanisms. First, strategies such as permissive hypercapnia or permissive hypoxemia may compromise renal blood flow. Second, through effects on cardiac output, mechanical ventilation affects systemic and renal hemodynamics. Third, mechanical ventilation may cause biotrauma-a pulmonary inflammatory reaction that may generate systemic release of inflammatory mediators. The harmful effects of mechanical ventilation may become more significant when a comorbidity is present. In these situations, it is more difficult to maintain normal gas exchange, and moderate arterial hypoxemia and hypercapnia are often accepted. Renal blood flow is compromised due to a decreased cardiac output as a consequence of high intrathoracic pressures. Furthermore, the effects of biotrauma are not limited to the lungs but may lead to a systemic inflammatory reaction. CONCLUSIONS The development of acute renal failure during mechanical ventilation likely represents a multifactorial process that may become more important in the presence of comorbidities. Development of optimal interventional strategies requires an understanding of physiologic principles and greater insight into the precise molecular and cellular mechanisms that may also play a role.

Abstract
We observed chronological changes of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1), final mediator of neutrophil transendothelial migration, immunoreactivity, and protein level in the gerbil hippocampus proper after 5 min of transient ischemia. One day after ischemic insult, PECAM-1 immunoreactivity and protein level increased slightly in the hippocampus proper. Thereafter, PECAM-1 immunoreactivity and protein level increased significantly in the hippocampus proper by 4 days after ischemic insult. Especially, PECAM-1 in the hippocampal CA1 region was higher than that in the CA2/3 region. Five days after ischemic insult, PECAM-1 immunoreactivity decreased compared to the 4 days post-ischemic group. However, the RNA levels of PECAM-1 in the hippocampus proper were significantly decreased in the 4 days post-ischemic groups compared to that in the sham-operated group. This result suggests that the increase of PECAM-1 and decrease of PECAM-1 RNA in the CA1 region 4 days after ischemia may be associated with transmigration of neurotrophil.

Abstract
How dietary corn oil is involved in colon carcinogenesis and cancer development is poorly understood. The aim of this study was to investigate whether long-term dietary corn oil promotes colon cancer by inhibiting the tumor suppressor gene p53-mediated mitochondria-dependent apoptosis in azoxymethane (AOM)-treated rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were injected with AOM or with saline and fed on a basal diet or basal diet supplemented with 10% corn oil for 48 weeks. Colonic aberrant crypt foci (ACF) and tumors, including adenomas and carcinomas, were examined. Colonic apoptosis and cell proliferation were evaluated. Wild type (wt) p53 was analyzed using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blotting. In addition, Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, Bax, and Bak localized in the mitochondria were detected. Long-term dietary corn oil increased ACF in AOM-treated rats at 12 weeks and promoted colon cancer invasion at 48 weeks. Cancer invasion was not observed in the AOM-treated rats without dietary corn oil, although colon adenomas and cancers were detected. Apoptosis was decreased and cell proliferation was increased in the AOM-treated rats with dietary corn oil, compared with the AOM-treated rats with dietary basal diet. In these rats, mitochondrial wt p53 was significantly inhibited through decreased mitochondrial localization of wt p53 and increased cytosolic p53, resulting in the upregulation of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL and the downregulation of Bak in the mitochondria. Results suggest that long-term dietary corn oil promotes AOM-induced colon cancer development partly by inhibiting the tumor suppressor gene p53-mediated mitochondria-dependent apoptosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a potentially lethal disease among premature infants. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R)-induced intestinal injury was due to increased apoptosis of the intestinal mucosa in young mice and whether pre-treatment of the animals with recombinant human insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), a known anti-apoptotic factor, could protect the intestinal cells from H/R-induced apoptosis or intestinal injury. STUDY DESIGN Young mice were divided into three groups: group 1 mice (H/R) were hypoxia-reoxygenation; group 2 mice (H/R + IGF-I) were treated with recombinant human IGF-I by intraperitoneal injection (1 mug/g b.w. once daily) for 7 days, and group 3 mice served as control. Hypoxia was induced by placing young mice in a Plexiglas chamber consisting of 10% oxygen for 60 min. After hypoxia, the young mice were reoxygenated for 10 min with 100% oxygen. Intestinal generation of substances reactive to thiobarbituric acid (TBARS) and active caspase-3 were measured in H/R-induced intestinal injury. RESULTS Increased numbers of apoptotic cells (apoptotic index) across the villi in young mice subjected to H/R were observed with the TUNEL reaction whereas few apoptotic cells existed in the control animals. In addition, H/R-induced intestinal damage in the H/R + IGF-I group was greatly attenuated, with necrosis limited partially to the mucosa. Tissue-active caspase-3 levels in the H/R group were found to be significantly higher when compared with that of the H/R + IGF-I group of mice and control. However, TBARS concentrations in the intestine were similar in H/R groups when compared to the intestine of control animals. CONCLUSION The present study suggests that both necrosis and apoptosis, via mechanisms occurring due to oxygen-derived free radicals and activation of caspase-3, play a role in the pathogenesis of H/R-induced bowel injury. We also show that IGF-I protect intestinal mucosa from necrosis and apoptosis from intestinal H/R injury.

Abstract
Ischemic preconditioning provides a way of protecting organs from damage inflicted with prolonged ischemia-reperfusion. In this study, we investigated the mechanism of ischemic preconditioning involved in inhibition of prolonged ischemia-reperfusion-induced mucosal apoptosis in rat small intestine. Ischemic preconditioning was triggered by a transient occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery followed by reperfusion. Ischemia-reperfusion was induced by 60-min occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery followed by 60-min reperfusion in the small intestine. Ischemia-reperfusion alone induced mucosal apoptosis and mitochondrial respiratory dysfunction via promoted reactive oxygen species generation, reduced mitochondrial glutathione oxidation, increased mitochondrial lipid peroxidation, reduced mitochondrial membrane potential, and enhanced release of cytochrome c from mitochondria to activate caspase-9 and caspase-6 in the small intestine. Pretreatment with 20-min ischemia followed by 5-min reperfusion significantly inhibited the prolonged ischemia-reperfusion-induced mucosal apoptosis by 30%. Ischemic preconditioning ameliorated mitochondrial respiratory dysfunction by 50%, reduced reactive oxygen species generation by 38%, and suppressed mitochondrial lipid peroxidation by 36%, resulting in improvement of the mitochondrial membrane potential and prevention of cytochrome c release as well as caspase-6 activation. Results suggest that ischemic preconditioning attenuated ischemia-reperfusion-induced mucosal apoptosis partly by inhibiting the reactive oxygen species-mediated mitochondria-dependent pathway in the rat small intestine.
