Wu F, Wang JY, Dorman B, Zeineddin A, Kozar RA. c-Jun-mediated miR-19b expression induces endothelial barrier dysfunction in an in vitro model of hemorrhagic shock. Mol Med 2022; 28:123. [PMID: 36224531 PMCID: PMC9558999 DOI: 10.1186/s10020-022-00550-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2021] [Accepted: 10/03/2022] [Indexed: 01/16/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Our previous data demonstrated that miR-19b expression was increased in human lung microvascular endothelial cells in-vitro-, in-vivo and in patients with hemorrhagic shock, leading to a decrease in syndecan-1 mRNA and protein and resulting in loss of endothelial barrier function. However, the mechanism underlying increased miR-19b expression remains unclear. The objective of the current study was to determine if c-Jun mediates the early responsive microRNA, miR-19b, to cause endothelial barrier dysfunction. METHOD Human lung microvascular endothelial cells (HLMEC) or HEK293T cells were transfected with c-Jun overexpressing vector, c-Jun siRNA, miR-19b promoter vector, miR-19b mutated promoter vector, miR-19b oligo inhibitor, then subjected to hypoxia/reoxygenation as in-vitro model of hemorrhagic shock. Levels of protein, miRNA, and luciferase activity were measured. Transwell permeability of endothelial monolayers were also determined. Plasma levels of c-Jun were measured in injured patients with hemorrhagic shock. RESULT Hypoxia/reoxygenation induced primary (pri-)miR-19b, mature miR-19b, and c-Jun expression over time in a comparable timeframe. c-Jun silencing by transfection with its specific siRNA reduced both pri-miR-19b and mature miR-19b levels. Conversely, c-Jun overexpression enhanced H/R-induced pri-miR-19b. Studies using a luciferase reporter assay revealed that in cells transfected with vectors containing the wild-type miR-19b promoter and luciferase reporter, c-Jun overexpression or hypoxia/ reoxygenation significantly increased luciferase activity. c-Jun knockdown reduced the luciferase activity in these cells, suggesting that the miR-19b promoter is directly activated by c-Jun. Further, chromatin immunoprecipitation assay confirmed that c-Jun directly bound to the promoter DNA of miR-19b and hypoxia/reoxygenation significantly increased this interaction. Additionally, c-Jun silencing prevented cell surface syndecan-1 loss and endothelial barrier dysfunction in HLMECs after hypoxia/reoxygenation. Lastly, c-Jun was significantly elevated in patients with hemorrhagic shock compared to healthy controls. CONCLUSION Transcription factor c-Jun is inducible by hypoxia/reoxygenation, binds to and activates the miR-19b promoter. Using an in-vitro model of hemorrhagic shock, our findings identified a novel cellular mechanism whereby hypoxia/ reoxygenation increases miR-19b transcription by inducing c-Jun and leads to syndecan-1 decrease and endothelial cell barrier dysfunction. This finding supports that miR-19b could be a potential therapeutic target for hemorrhage shock.

Abstract
The microvasculature plays a central role in the pathophysiology of hemorrhagic shock and is also involved in arguably all therapeutic attempts to reverse or minimize the adverse consequences of shock. Microvascular studies specific to hemorrhagic shock were reviewed and broadly grouped depending on whether data were obtained on animal or human subjects. Dedicated sections were assigned to microcirculatory changes in specific organs, and major categories of pathophysiological alterations and mechanisms such as oxygen distribution, ischemia, inflammation, glycocalyx changes, vasomotion, endothelial dysfunction, and coagulopathy as well as biomarkers and some therapeutic strategies. Innovative experimental methods were also reviewed for quantitative microcirculatory assessment as it pertains to changes during hemorrhagic shock. The text and figures include representative quantitative microvascular data obtained in various organs and tissues such as skin, muscle, lung, liver, brain, heart, kidney, pancreas, intestines, and mesentery from various species including mice, rats, hamsters, sheep, swine, bats, and humans. Based on reviewed findings, a new integrative conceptual model is presented that includes about 100 systemic and local factors linked to microvessels in hemorrhagic shock. The combination of systemic measures with the understanding of these processes at the microvascular level is fundamental to further develop targeted and personalized interventions that will reduce tissue injury, organ dysfunction, and ultimately mortality due to hemorrhagic shock.

Involvement of connexin 43 phosphorylation and gap junctional communication between smooth muscle cells in vasopressin-induced ROCK-dependent vasoconstriction after hemorrhagic shock. Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 2017; 313:C362-C370. [PMID: 28974518 DOI: 10.1152/ajpcell.00258.2016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2016] [Revised: 07/21/2017] [Accepted: 07/21/2017] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
We examined the roles played by gap junctions (GJs) and the GJ channel protein connexin 43 (Cx43) in arginine vasopressin (AVP)-induced vasoconstriction after hemorrhagic shock and their relationship to Rho kinase (ROCK) and protein kinase C (PKC). The results showed that AVP induced an endothelium-independent contraction in rat superior mesenteric arteries (SMAs). Blocking the GJs significantly decreased the contractile response of SMAs and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) to AVP after shock and hypoxia. The selective Cx43-mimetic peptide inhibited the vascular contractile effect of AVP after shock and hypoxia. AVP restored hypoxia-induced decrease of Cx43 phosphorylation at Ser262 and gap junctional communication in VSMCs. Activation of RhoA with U-46619 increased the contractile effect of AVP. This effect was antagonized by the ROCK inhibitor Y27632 and the Cx43-mimetic peptide. In contrast, neither an agonist nor an inhibitor of PKC had significant effects on AVP-induced contraction after hemorrhagic shock. In addition, silencing of Cx43 with siRNA blocked the AVP-induced increase of ROCK activity in hypoxic VSMCs. In conclusion, AVP-mediated vascular contractile effects are endothelium and myoendothelial gap junction independent. Gap junctions between VSMCs, gap junctional communication, and Cx43 phosphorylation at Ser262 play important roles in the vascular effects of AVP. RhoA/ROCK, but not PKC, is involved in this process.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Vascular dysfunction such as vascular hyporeactivity following severe trauma and shock is a major cause of death in injured patients. Oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress play an important role in vascular dysfunction. The objective of the present study was to determine whether or not 4-phenylbutyrate can improve vascular dysfunction and elicit antishock effects by inhibiting oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum stress. DESIGN Prospective, randomized, controlled laboratory experiment. SETTING State key laboratory of trauma, burns, and combined injury. SUBJECTS Five hundred and fifty-two Sprague-Dawley rats. INTERVENTIONS Rats were anesthetized, and a model of traumatic hemorrhagic shock was established by left femur fracture and hemorrhage. The effects of 4-phenylbutyrate (5, 20, 50, 100, 200, and 300 mg/kg) on vascular reactivity, animal survival, hemodynamics, and vital organ function in traumatic hemorrhagic shock rats and cultured vascular smooth muscle cells, and the relationship to oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress was observed. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Lower doses of 4-phenylbutyrate significantly improved the vascular function, stabilized the hemodynamics, and increased the tissue blood flow and vital organ function in traumatic hemorrhagic shock rats, and markedly improved the survival outcomes. Among all dosages observed in the present study, 20 mg/kg of 4-phenylbutyrate had the best effect. Further results indicated that 4-phenylbutyrate significantly inhibited the oxidative stress, decreased shock-induced oxidative stress index such as the production of reactive oxygen species, increased the antioxidant enzyme levels such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione, and improved the mitochondrial function by inhibiting the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore in rat artery and vascular smooth muscle cells. In contrast, 4-phenylbutyrate did not affect the changes of endoplasmic reticulum stress markers following traumatic hemorrhagic shock. Furthermore, 4-phenylbutyrate increased the nuclear levels of nuclear factor-E2-related factor 2, and decreased the nuclear levels of nuclear factor κB in hypoxic vascular smooth muscle cells. CONCLUSIONS 4-phenylbutyrate has beneficial effects for traumatic hemorrhagic shock including improving animal survival and protecting organ function. These beneficial effects of 4-phenylbutyrate in traumatic hemorrhagic shock result from its vascular function protection via attenuation of the oxidative stress and mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening. Nuclear factor-E2-related factor 2 and nuclear factor-κB may be involved in 4-phenylbutyrate-mediated inhibition of oxidative stress.

Abstract
Experimental models of human pathology are useful guides to new approaches
towards improving clinical and surgical treatments. A systematic search through
PubMed using the syntax (shock) AND (trauma) AND (animal model) AND
(cardiovascular) AND ("2010/01/01"[PDat]:
"2015/12/31"[PDat]) found 88 articles, which were reduced by
manual inspection to 43 entries. These were divided into themes and each theme
is subsequently narrated and discussed conjointly. Taken together, these
articles indicate that valuable information has been developed over the past 5
years concerning endothelial stability, mesenteric lymph, vascular reactivity,
traumatic injuries, burn and sepsis. A surviving interest in hypertonic saline

Propofol administration to the fetal-maternal unit reduces cardiac oxidative stress in preterm lambs subjected to prenatal asphyxia and cardiac arrest. Pediatr Res 2016; 79:748-53.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known about the effects of propofol on oxidative stress and its effect on key structures of the contractile apparatus as the myosin light chain 2 (MLC2) and the p38MAPK survival pathway in the preterm heart. We hypothesized that propofol administration could attenuate the hypoxic myocardial injury after birth asphyxia. METHODS Pregnant ewes were randomized to receive either propofol or isoflurane anesthesia. A total of 44 late-preterm lambs were subjected to in utero umbilical cord occlusion (UCO), resulting in asphyxia and cardiac arrest, or sham treatment. After emergency cesarean delivery, each fetus was resuscitated, mechanically ventilated, and supported under anesthesia for 8 h using the same anesthetic as the one received by its mother. RESULTS At 8 h after UCO, occurrence of reactive oxygen species and activation of inducible nitric oxide synthase in the heart were lower in association with propofol anesthesia than with isoflurane. This was accompanied by less degradation of MLC2 but higher p38MAPK level and in echocardiography with a trend toward a higher median left ventricular fractional shortening. CONCLUSION The use of propofol resulted in less oxidative stress and was associated with less cytoskeletal damage of the contractile apparatus than the use of isoflurane anesthesia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal resuscitation strategy for traumatic hemorrhagic shock is not completely determined. The objective of the present study was to investigate whether hypotensive resuscitation in combination with arginine vasopressin (AVP) can prolong the hypotensive resuscitation time by minimizing blood loss and stabilizing hemodynamics for uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock. METHODS With an established rat model of uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock, we compared the beneficial effects of hypotensive resuscitation in combination with AVP to maintain blood pressure at 50 mm Hg for 3 hours to hypotensive resuscitation alone on animal survival, blood loss, and vital organ functions. RESULTS Hypotensive resuscitation in combination with AVP maintenance for 3 hours significantly reduced total blood loss and fluid requirement during hypotensive resuscitation period and significantly improved the survival of shock rats as compared with hypotensive resuscitation alone. Among the four concentrations of AVP, 5 × 10 U/mL had the best effect: it significantly improved hemodynamics and increased cardiac function, oxygen delivery, as well as hepatic blood flow and hepatic function in the shock rats. However, renal blood flow in the hypotensive resuscitation + AVP group was lower than that in the hypotensive resuscitation alone group. CONCLUSION Hypotensive resuscitation in combination with early application of AVP could prolong the tolerance time of hypotensive resuscitation and "buy" longer safe prehospital transport time by reducing blood loss and stabilizing hemodynamics. This strategy may be a promising strategy for the early management of trauma patients with active bleeding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vascular hyporesponsiveness is an important pathophysiological feature of some critical conditions such as hemorrhagic shock. Many proteins and molecules are involved in the regulation of the pathologic process, however the mechanism has still remained unclear. Our study was intended to look for the related protein markers involved in the regulation of vascular reactivity after hemorrhagic shock. METHODS Differential in-gel electrophoresis and tandem mass spectrometry were applied to quantify the differences of protein expression in the superior mesenteric arteries from hemorrhagic shock and normal rats. RESULTS A total of 2317 differentially expressed protein spots in the superior mesenteric arteries of rats before and after hemorrhagic shock were found, and 146 protein spots were selected for tandem mass spectrometry identification. Thirty-seven differentially expressed proteins were obtained, including 3 uncharacterized proteins and 34 known proteins. Among them, heat shock protein beta-1 and calmodulin were the known proteins involved in the occurrence of vascular hyporesponsiveness. Bioinformatics analysis results showed that 18 proteins were related to vasoconstriction, 11 proteins may be involved in other vascular functions such as regulation of angiogenesis and endothelial cell proliferation. CONCLUSIONS The changes of vascular responsiveness after hemorrhagic shock in rats may be associated with the upregulation or downregulation of previously mentioned protein expressions. These findings may provide the basis for understanding and further study of the mechanism and treatment targets of vascular hyporeactivity after shock.

Abstract
Vascular hyporeactivity is an important factor in irreversible shock, and
post-shock mesenteric lymph (PSML) blockade improves vascular reactivity after
hemorrhagic shock. This study explored the possible involvement of myosin light
chain kinase (MLCK) in PSML-mediated vascular hyporeactivity and calcium
desensitization. Rats were divided into sham (n=12), shock (n=18), and
shock+drainage (n=18) groups. A hemorrhagic shock model (40±2 mmHg, 3 h) was
established in the shock and shock+drainage groups. PSML drainage was performed
from 1 to 3 h from start of hypotension in shock+drainage rats. Levels of
phospho-MLCK (p-MLCK) were determined in superior mesenteric artery (SMA)
tissue, and the vascular reactivity to norepinephrine (NE) and sensitivity to
Ca2+ were observed in SMA rings in an isolated organ perfusion
system. p-MLCK was significantly decreased in the shock group compared with the
sham group, but increased in the shock+drainage group compared with the shock
group. Substance P (1 nM), an agonist of MLCK, significantly elevated the
decreased contractile response of SMA rings to both NE and Ca2+ at
various concentrations. Maximum contractility (Emax) in the shock
group increased with NE (from 0.179±0.038 to 0.440±0.177 g/mg, P<0.05) and
Ca2+ (from 0.515±0.043 to 0.646±0.096 g/mg, P<0.05). ML-7 (0.1
nM), an inhibitor of MLCK, reduced the increased vascular response to NE and
Ca2+ at various concentrations in the shock+drainage group (from
0.744±0.187 to 0.570±0.143 g/mg in Emax for NE and from 0.729±0.037
to 0.645±0.056 g/mg in Emax for Ca2+, P<0.05). We
conclude that MLCK is an important contributor to PSML drainage, enhancing
vascular reactivity and calcium sensitivity in rats with hemorrhagic shock.
