Abstract
Oxygen pressure plays an integral role in regulating various aspects of cellular biology. Cell metabolism, proliferation, morphology, senescence, metastasis, and angiogenesis are some instances that are affected by different tensions of oxygen. Hyperoxia or high oxygen concentration, enforces the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that disturbs physiological homeostasis, and consequently, in the absence of antioxidants, cells and tissues are directed to an undesired fate. On the other side, hypoxia or low oxygen concentration, impacts cell metabolism and fate strongly through inducing changes in the expression level of specific genes. Thus, understanding the precise mechanism and the extent of the implication of oxygen tension and ROS in biological events is crucial to maintaining the desired cell and tissue function for application in regenerative medicine strategies. Herein, a comprehensive literature review has been performed to find out the impacts of oxygen tensions on the various behaviors of cells or tissues.

Influence of Age on Hyperoxia-Induced Cardiac Pathophysiology in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) Mouse Model. Cells 2023; 12:1457. [PMID: 37296578 PMCID: PMC10252211 DOI: 10.3390/cells12111457] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2023] [Revised: 05/08/2023] [Accepted: 05/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Mechanical ventilation often results in hyperoxia, a condition characterized by excess SpO2 levels (>96%). Hyperoxia results in changes in the physiological parameters, severe cardiac remodeling, arrhythmia development, and alteration of cardiac ion channels, all of which can point toward a gradual increase in the risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study extends the analysis of our prior work in young Akita mice, which demonstrated that exposure to hyperoxia worsens cardiac outcomes in a type 1 diabetic murine model as compared to wild-type (WT) mice. Age is an independent risk factor, and when present with a major comorbidity, such as type 1 diabetes (T1D), it can further exacerbate cardiac outcomes. Thus, this research subjected aged T1D Akita mice to clinical hyperoxia and analyzed the cardiac outcomes. Overall, aged Akita mice (60 to 68 weeks) had preexisting cardiac challenges compared to young Akita mice. Aged mice were overweight, had an increased cardiac cross-sectional area, and showed prolonged QTc and JT intervals, which are proposed as major risk factors for CVD like intraventricular arrhythmias. Additionally, exposure to hyperoxia resulted in severe cardiac remodeling and a decrease in Kv 4.2 and KChIP2 cardiac potassium channels in these rodents. Based on sex-specific differences, aged male Akita mice had a higher risk of poor cardiac outcomes than aged females. Aged male Akita mice had prolonged RR, QTc, and JT intervals even at baseline normoxic exposure. Moreover, they were not protected against hyperoxic stress through adaptive cardiac hypertrophy, which, at least to some extent, is due to reduced cardiac androgen receptors. This study in aged Akita mice aims to draw attention to the clinically important yet understudied subject of the effect of hyperoxia on cardiac parameters in the presence of preexisting comorbidities. The findings would help revise the provision of care for older T1D patients admitted to ICUs.

The implications of hyperoxia, type 1 diabetes and sex on cardiovascular physiology in mice. Sci Rep 2021; 11:23086.

Abstract
Oxygen supplementation, although a cornerstone of emergency and cardiovascular medicine, often results in hyperoxia, a condition characterized by excessive tissue oxygen which results in adverse cardiac remodeling and subsequent injurious effects to physiological function. Cardiac remodeling is further influenced by various risk factors, including pre-existing conditions and sex. Thus, the purpose of this experiment was to investigate cardiac remodeling in Type I Diabetic (Akita) mice subjected to hyperoxic treatment. Overall, we demonstrated that Akita mice experience distinct challenges from wild type (WT) mice. Specifically, Akita males at both normoxia and hyperoxia showed significant decreases in body and heart weights, prolonged PR, QRS, and QTc intervals, and reduced %EF and %FS at normoxia compared to WT controls. Moreover, Akita males largely resemble female mice (both WT and Akita) with regards to the parameters studied. Finally, statistical analysis revealed hyperoxia to have the greatest influence on cardiac pathophysiology, followed by sex, and finally genotype. Taken together, our data suggest that Type I diabetic patients may have distinct cardiac pathophysiology under hyperoxia compared to uncomplicated patients, with males being at high risk. These findings can be used to enhance provision of care in ICU patients with Type I diabetes as a comorbid condition.

Abstract
Supplemental oxygen is a life-saving intervention administered to individuals suffering from respiratory distress, including adults with acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Despite the clinical benefit, supplemental oxygen can create a hyperoxic environment that increases reactive oxygen species, oxidative stress, and lung injury. We have previously shown that cytochrome P450 (CYP)1A enzymes decrease susceptibility to hyperoxia-induced lung injury. In this investigation, we determined the role of CYP1B1 in hyperoxic lung injury in vivo. Eight- to ten-week old C57BL/6 wild type (WT) and Cyp1b1-/- mice were exposed to hyperoxia (>95% O2) for 24-72 h or maintained in room air (21% O2). Lung injury was assessed by histology and lung weight to body weight (LW/BW) ratios. Extent of inflammation was determined by assessing pulmonary neutrophil infiltration and cytokine levels. Lipid peroxidation markers were quantified by gas chromatography mass spectrometry, and oxidative DNA adducts were quantified by 32P-postlabeling as markers of oxidative stress. We found that Cyp1b1-/- mice displayed attenuation of lung weight and pulmonary edema, particularly after 48-72 h of hyperoxia compared with WT controls. Further, Cyp1b1-/- mice displayed decreased levels of pulmonary oxidative DNA adducts and pulmonary isofurans after 24 h of hyperoxia. Cyp1b1-/- mice also showed increased pulmonary CYP1A1 and 1A2 and mRNA expression. In summary, our results support the hypothesis that Cyp1b1-/- mice display decreased hyperoxic lung injury than wild type counterparts and that CYP1B1 may act as a pro-oxidant during hyperoxia exposure, contributing to increases in oxidative DNA damage and accumulation of lipid hydroperoxides.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The adaptive immune system of neonates is relatively underdeveloped. The thymus is an essential organ for adaptive T cell development and might be affected during the natural course of oxygen induced lung injury. The effect of prolonged hyperoxia on the thymus, thymocyte and T cell development, and its proliferation has not been studied extensively. METHODS Neonatal mice were exposed to 85% oxygen (hyperoxia) or room air (normoxia) up to 28 days. Flow cytometry using surface markers were used to assay for thymocyte development and proliferation. RESULTS Mice exposed to prolonged hyperoxia had evidence of lung injury associated alveolar simplification, a significantly lower mean weight, smaller thymic size, lower mean thymocyte count and higher percentage of apoptotic thymocytes. T cells subpopulation in the thymus showed a significant reduction in the count and proliferation of double positive and double negative T cells. There was a significant reduction in the count and proliferation of single positive CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. CONCLUSIONS Prolonged hyperoxia in neonatal mice adversely affected thymic size, thymocyte count and altered the distribution of T cells sub-populations. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that prolonged hyperoxia causes defective development of T cells in the thymus.

Abstract
We have shown that obesity-associated attenuation of murine acute lung injury is driven, in part, by blunted neutrophil chemotaxis, yet differences were noted between the two models of obesity studied. We hypothesized that obesity-associated impairment of multiple neutrophil functions contributes to increased risk for respiratory infection but that such impairments may vary between murine models of obesity. We examined the most commonly used murine obesity models (diet-induced obesity, db/db, CPE(fat/fat), and ob/ob) using a Klebsiella pneumoniae pneumonia model and LPS-induced pneumonitis. Marrow-derived neutrophils from uninjured lean and obese mice were examined for in vitro functional responses. All obesity models showed impaired clearance of K. pneumoniae, but in differing temporal patterns. Failure to contain infection in obese mice was seen in the db/db model at both 24 and 48 hours, yet this defect was only evident at 24 hours in CPE(fat/fat) and ob/ob models, and at 48 hours in diet-induced obesity. LPS-induced airspace neutrophilia was decreased in all models, and associated with blood neutropenia in the ob/ob model but with leukocytosis in the others. Obese mouse neutrophils from all models demonstrated impaired chemotaxis, whereas neutrophil granulocyte colony-stimulating factor-mediated survival, LPS-induced cytokine transcription, and mitogen-activated protein kinase and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 activation in response to LPS and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, respectively, were variably impaired across the four models. Obesity-associated impairment of host response to lung infection is characterized by defects in neutrophil recruitment and survival. However, critical differences exist between commonly used mouse models of obesity and may reflect variable penetrance of elements of the metabolic syndrome, as well as other factors.

Abstract
Obesity-related disease is a significant source of premature death and economic burden globally. It is also a common comorbidity in patients suffering from lung disease, affecting both severity and treatment success. However, this complex association between obesity and the lung is poorly understood. Autophagy is a self-recycling homeostatic process that has been linked to beneficial or deleterious effects, depending on the specific lung disease. Obesity affects autophagy in a tissue-specific manner, activating autophagy in adipocytes and impairing autophagy in hepatocytes, immune cells, and pancreatic β-cells, among others. Obesity is also characterized by chronic low-grade inflammation that can be modulated by the pro- and antiinflammatory effects of the autophagic machinery. Scant evidence exists regarding the impact of autophagy in obesity-related lung diseases, but there are communal pathways that could be related to disease pathogenesis. Important signaling molecules in obesity, including IL-17, leptin, adiponectin, NLRP3 inflammasome, and TLR-4, have been implicated in the pathogenesis of lung disease. These mediators are known to be modulated by autophagy activity. In this perspective, we highlight the recent advances in the understanding of autophagy in obesity-related conditions, as well as the potential mechanisms that can link autophagy and obesity in the pathogenesis of lung disease.

Abstract
Several studies have shown a pathological oxygenation (hypoxia/hyperoxia) on the adipose tissue in obese subjects. Additionally, the excess of body weight is often accompanied by a state of chronic low-degree inflammation. The inflammation phenomenon is a complex biological response mounted by tissues to combat injurious stimuli in order to maintain cell homeostasis. Furthermore, it is believed that the abnormal oxygen partial pressure occurring in adipose tissue is involved in triggering inflammatory processes. In this context, oxygen is used in modern medicine as a treatment for several diseases with inflammatory components. Thus, hyperbaric oxygenation has demonstrated beneficial effects, apart from improving local tissue oxygenation, on promoting angiogenesis, wound healing, providing neuroprotection, facilitating glucose uptake, appetite, and others. Nevertheless, an excessive hyperoxia exposure can lead to deleterious effects such as oxidative stress, pulmonary edema, and maybe inflammation. Interestingly, some of these favorable outcomes occur under high and low oxygen concentrations. Hereby, we review a potential therapeutic approach to the management of obesity as well as the oxygen-related inflammation accompanying expanded adipose tissue, based on elevated oxygen concentrations. To conclude, we highlight at the end of this review some areas that need further clarification.

Abstract
This article discusses obesity, its contribution to clinical outcomes, and the current literature on nutrition. More than one third of Americans are obese. Literature suggests that, among critically ill patients, the relationship between obesity and outcomes is complex. Obese patients may be at greater risk of developing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) than normal weight patients. Although obesity may confer greater morbidity in intensive care, it seems to decrease mortality. ARDS is a catabolic state; patients demonstrate a profound inflammatory response, multiple organ dysfunction, and hypermetabolism, often with malnutrition. The concept of pharmaconutrition has emerged.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES One of the hallmarks of severe pneumonia and associated acute lung injury is neutrophil recruitment to the lung. Leptin is thought to be up-regulated in the lung following injury and to exert diverse effects on leukocytes, influencing both chemotaxis and survival. We hypothesized that pulmonary leptin contributes directly to the development of pulmonary neutrophilia during pneumonia and acute lung injury. DESIGN Controlled human and murine in vivo and ex vivo experimental studies. SETTING Research laboratory of a university hospital. SUBJECTS Healthy human volunteers and subjects hospitalized with bacterial and H1N1 pneumonia. C57Bl/6 and db/db mice were also used. INTERVENTIONS Lung samples from patients and mice with either bacterial or H1N1 pneumonia and associated acute lung injury were immunostained for leptin. Human bronchoalveolar lavage samples obtained after lipopolysaccharide-induced lung injury were assayed for leptin. C57Bl/6 mice were examined after oropharyngeal aspiration of recombinant leptin alone or in combination with Escherichia coli- or Klebsiella pneumoniae-induced pneumonia. Leptin-resistant (db/db) mice were also examined using the E. coli model. Bronchoalveolar lavage neutrophilia and cytokine levels were measured. Leptin-induced chemotaxis was examined in human blood- and murine marrow-derived neutrophils in vitro. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Injured human and murine lung tissue showed leptin induction compared to normal lung, as did human bronchoalveolar lavage following lipopolysaccharide instillation. Bronchoalveolar lavage neutrophilia in uninjured and infected mice was increased and lung bacterial load decreased by airway leptin administration, whereas bronchoalveolar lavage neutrophilia in infected leptin-resistant mice was decreased. In sterile lung injury by lipopolysaccharide, leptin also appeared to decrease airspace neutrophil apoptosis. Both human and murine neutrophils migrated toward leptin in vitro, and this required intact signaling through the Janus Kinase 2/phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase pathway. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrate that pulmonary leptin is induced in injured human and murine lungs and that this cytokine is effective in driving alveolar airspace neutrophilia. This action appears to be caused by direct effects of leptin on neutrophils.

Abstract
Elevated levels of systemic and pulmonary leptin are associated with diseases related to lung injury and lung cancer. However, the role of leptin in lung biology and pathology, including the mechanism of leptin gene expression in the pathogenesis of lung diseases, including lung cancer, remains elusive. Here, using conditional deletion of tumor suppressor gene Pten in the lung epithelium in vivo in transgenic mice and human PTEN-null lung epithelial cells, we identify the leptin-driven feed-forward signaling loop in the lung epithelial cells. Leptin-mediated leptin/leptin-receptor gene expression likely amplifies leptin signaling that may contribute to the pathogenesis and severity of lung diseases, resulting in poor clinical outcomes. Loss of Pten in the lung epithelial cells in vivo activated adipokine signaling and induced leptin synthesis as ascertained by genome-wide mRNA profiling and pathway analysis. Leptin gene transcription was mediated by binding of transcription factors NRF-1 and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein δ (C/EBP) to the proximal promoter regions and STAT3 to the distal promoter regions as revealed by leptin promoter-mutation, chromatin immunoprecipitation, and gain- and loss-of-function studies in lung epithelial cells. Leptin treatment induced expression of the leptin/leptin receptor in the lung epithelial cells via activation of MEK/ERK, PI3K/AKT/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), and JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathways. Expression of constitutively active MEK-1, AKT, and STAT3 proteins increased expression, and treatment with MEK, PI3K, AKT, and mTOR inhibitors decreased LEP expression, indicating that leptin via MAPK/ERK1/2, PI3K/AKT/mTOR, and JAK2/STAT3 pathways, in turn, further induces its own gene expression. Thus, targeted inhibition of the leptin-mediated feed-forward loop provides a novel rationale for pharmacotherapy of disease associated with lung injury and remodeling, including lung cancer.

[PMID: 23510433 PMCID: PMC3614877 DOI: 10.1186/2045-9912-3-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2013] [Accepted: 03/11/2013] [Indexed: 01/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), referring to the medical use of oxygen at a level higher than atmospheric pressure, exerts neuroprotective effects after ischemic stroke via various mechanisms. It has been demonstrated that HBOT modulates the synthesis and degradation of hormones. Leptin, an adipose derived hormone, has been found to confer neuroprotection following experimental stroke. However, it is not known whether HBOT alters leptin concentrations after permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAo) in the rat. In this present study, we aimed to investigate the effect of HBOT on the serum concentration of leptin in rats subjected to pMCAo. HBOT was initiated 48 hrs after experimental pMCAo, at 2.5 atmospheres absolutes with 100% oxygen, 1 hr a day for 10 consecutive days. Body weight, neurobehavioral deficits and infarct size were evaluated. Blood was collected on day 1 and day 16 following HBOT. Serum leptin concentrations were measured with ELISA. Delayed HBOT reduced infarct size and improved neurobehavioral scores. Decreased serum levels of leptin were found in treated and untreated pMCAo animals, compared to the sham group on day 1 (P > 0.05) and day 16 (P < 0.05). However, no statistical significance was found between HBOT and the air group. We concluded that the neuroprotective effects of delayed HBOT in pMCAo rats were unlikely to be exerted through changes in the serum concentration of leptin.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe inflammatory condition that develops in response to local and systemic lung challenges. To date, specific risk factors for development of ALI remain poorly defined. Recent epidemiological studies have reported obesity as an important predisposing factor in the development of this condition. Although the pathogenic mechanisms linking obesity and ALI have not been well-elucidated, emerging scientific evidence has described factors secreted by adipose tissue that have important biological activities in lung and has suggested that altered secretion of these factors during obesity contributes to increased ALI susceptibility. The objective of this manuscript is to highlight recent clinical evidence supporting the association between obesity and ALI and to discuss the posited role for adipose tissue-derived factors in the pathogenesis of this condition.

Abstract
Although obesity is implicated in numerous health complications leading to increased mortality, the relationship between obesity and outcomes for critically ill patients appears paradoxical. Recent studies have reported better outcomes and lower levels of inflammatory cytokines in obese patients with acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome, suggesting that obesity may ameliorate the effects of this disease. We investigated the effects of obesity in leptin-resistant db/db obese and diet-induced obese mice using an inhaled LPS model of ALI. Obesity-associated effects on neutrophil chemoattractant response were examined in bone marrow neutrophils using chemotaxis and adoptive transfer; neutrophil surface levels of chemokine receptor CXCR2 were determined by flow cytometry. Airspace neutrophilia, capillary leak, and plasma IL-6 were all decreased in obese relative to lean mice in established lung injury (24 h). No difference in airspace inflammatory cytokine levels was found between obese and lean mice in both obesity models during the early phase of neutrophil recruitment (2-6 h), but early airspace neutrophilia was reduced in db/db obese mice. Neutrophils from uninjured obese mice demonstrated diminished chemotaxis to the chemokine keratinocyte cytokine compared with lean control mice, and adoptive transfer of obese mouse neutrophils into injured lean mice revealed a defect in airspace migration of these cells. Possibly contributing to this defect, neutrophil CXCR2 expression was significantly lower in obese db/db mice, and a similar but nonsignificant decrease was seen in diet-induced obese mice. ALI is attenuated in obese mice, and this blunted response is in part attributable to an obesity-associated abnormal neutrophil chemoattractant response.

Abstract
RATIONALE Diabetic patients have a lower incidence of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and those who develop ARDS are less likely to die. The mechanisms that underlie this protection are unknown. OBJECTIVES To determine whether leptin resistance, a feature of diabetes, prevents fibroproliferation after lung injury. METHODS We examined lung injury and fibroproliferation after the intratracheal instillation of bleomycin in wild-type and leptin-resistant (db/db) diabetic mice. We examined the effect of leptin on transforming growth factor (TGF)-β(1)-mediated transcription in primary normal human lung fibroblasts. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BAL) samples from patients with ARDS and ventilated control subjects were obtained for measurement of leptin and active TGF-β(1) levels. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Diabetic mice (db/db) were resistant to lung fibrosis. The db/db mice had higher levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ), an inhibitor of the transcriptional response to TGF-β(1), a cytokine critical in the pathogenesis of fibroproliferative ARDS. In normal human lung fibroblasts, leptin augmented the transcription of profibrotic genes in response to TGF-β(1) through a mechanism that required PPARγ. In patients with ARDS, BAL leptin levels were elevated and correlated with TGF-β(1) levels. Overall, there was no significant relationship between BAL leptin levels and clinical outcomes; however, in nonobese patients, higher BAL leptin levels were associated with fewer intensive care unit- and ventilator-free days and higher mortality. CONCLUSIONS Leptin signaling is required for bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis. Leptin augments TGF-β(1) signaling in lung fibroblasts by inhibiting PPARγ. These findings provide a mechanism for the observed protection against ARDS observed in diabetic patients.

Abstract
AIM: To evaluate the role of leptin in the internal disorders during hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury.
METHODS: A rat model of 70% hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury was established, with groups of sham-operation (Sham), 60 min ischemia/60 min reperfusion (I60’R60’), I60’R150’, I60’R240’ and I60’R360’. Serum leptin was detected by a self-produced radioimmunoassay; serum glucose, total anti-oxidation capacity, myeloperoxidase, alanine transaminase and diamine oxidase were determined by relevant kits, while histological alterations and protein levels of leptin in the lung, liver and duodenum were examined by hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunohistochemistry. Spearman’s rank correlation between leptin and other variables or grading of tissue impairment were analyzed simultaneously.
RESULTS: Serum leptin in I60’R360’ was significantly higher than in Sham and I60’R240’ groups (both P < 0.05), serum glucose in I60’R360’ was higher than in Sham and I60’R150’ (both P < 0.05), and serum total anti-oxidation capacity in I60’R240’ and I60’R360’ were higher than in Sham (both P < 0.05) and I60’R150’groups (both P < 0.01). Serum myeloperoxidase in groups of I60’R240’ and I60’R360’ were lower than in I60’R150’group (both P < 0.05), serum alanine transaminase in the four reperfusion groups were higher than in the Sham group (all P < 0.05), while serum DAO in I60’R360’ was lower than in I60’R60’ (P < 0.05). Histological impairment in the lung, liver and duodenum at the early phase of this injury was more serious, but the impairment at the later phase was lessened gradually. Protein levels of leptin in the lung in the four reperfusion groups were significantly lower than in the Sham group (all P < 0.01), decreasing in the order of I60’R150’, I60’R60’, I60’R360’ and I60’R240’; the levels in the liver in I60’R60’ and I60’R240’ were higher than in the Sham group (both P < 0.01), while the levels in I60’R240’ and I60’R360’ were lower than in I60’R60’ (both P < 0.01); the levels in duodenum in I60’R240’ and I60’R360’ were higher than in Sham, I60’R60’ and I60’R150’ (all P < 0.01), while the level in I60’R150’ was lower than in I60’R60’ (P < 0.05). There was a significantly positive correlation between serum leptin and alanine transaminase (ρ = 0.344, P = 0.021), a significantly negative correlation between the protein level of leptin in the lung and its damage scores (ρ = -0.313, P = 0.036), and a significantly positive correlation between the protein level of leptin in the liver and its damage scores (ρ = 0.297, P = 0.047).
CONCLUSION: Endogenous leptin fluctuates in hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury, exerts a potency to rehabilitate the internal disorders and represents a potential target for supportive therapy.

Abstract
Since its cloning in 1994, leptin has emerged in the literature as a pleiotropic hormone whose actions extend from immune system homeostasis to reproduction and angiogenesis. Recent investigations have identified the lung as a leptin responsive and producing organ, while extensive research has been published concerning the role of leptin in the respiratory system. Animal studies have provided evidence indicating that leptin is a stimulant of ventilation, whereas researchers have proposed an important role for leptin in lung maturation and development. Studies further suggest a significant impact of leptin on specific respiratory diseases, including obstructive sleep apnoea-hypopnoea syndrome, asthma, COPD and lung cancer. However, as new investigations are under way, the picture is becoming more complex. The scope of this review is to decode the existing data concerning the actions of leptin in the lung and provide a detailed description of leptin's involvement in the most common disorders of the respiratory system.

Abstract
Leptin, a pleiotropic type I cytokine, was recently demonstrated to be expressed by resident lung cells in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients and asymptomatic smokers. To elucidate the functional role of leptin in the onset of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, we tested leptin-deficient ob/ob mice (C57BL/6), leptin receptor-deficient db/db mice (C57BKS), and littermates in a model of cigarette smoke (CS)-induced pulmonary inflammation. Wild-type (WT) C57BL/6 mice were exposed for 4 or 24 wk to control air or CS. Pulmonary leptin expression was analyzed by immunohistochemistry and real-time PCR. Pulmonary inflammation upon 4 wk CS exposure was evaluated in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and lung tissue of WT, ob/ob, and db/db mice. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed leptin expression in bronchial epithelial cells, pneumocytes, alveolar macrophages, and bronchial/vascular smooth muscle cells. The 4 and 24 wk CS exposure increased leptin expression in bronchial epithelial cells and pneumocytes versus air-exposed WT mice (p<0.05). The 4 wk CS exposure resulted in increased accumulation of neutrophils, dendritic cells, macrophages, and lymphocytes in BALF and lung tissue of WT, ob/ob, and db/db mice. CS-exposed ob/ob and db/db mice showed in general higher numbers of neutrophils and lower numbers of CD4+, CD8+, and dendritic cells versus CS-exposed WT mice. Consistently, CXCL1 levels were enhanced in BALF of CS-exposed ob/ob and db/db mice versus WT mice (p<0.05). Exogenous leptin administration completely restored the skewed inflammatory profile in ob/ob mice. These data reveal an important role of leptin in modulating innate and adaptive immunity after CS inhalation in mice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Recently, many studies have investigated the immunomodulatory effects of insulin and glucose control in critical illness. This review examines evidence regarding the relationship between diabetes and the development of acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS), reviews studies of lung injury related to glycemic and nonglycemic metabolic features of diabetes, and examines the effect of diabetic therapies. DATA SOURCES AND STUDY SELECTION A MEDLINE/PubMed search from inception to August 1, 2008, was conducted using the search terms acute lung injury, acute respiratory distress syndrome, hyperglycemia, diabetes mellitus, insulin, hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins), angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors, including combinations of these terms. Bibliographies of retrieved articles were manually reviewed. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS Available studies were critically reviewed, and data were extracted with special attention to the human and animal studies that explored a) diabetes and ALI; b) hyperglycemia and ALI; c) metabolic nonhyperglycemic features of diabetes and ALI; and d) diabetic therapies and ALI. CONCLUSIONS Clinical and experimental data indicate that diabetes is protective against the development of ALI/ARDS. The pathways involved are complex and likely include effects of hyperglycemia on the inflammatory response, metabolic abnormalities in diabetes, and the interactions of therapeutic agents given to diabetic patients. Multidisciplinary, multifaceted studies, involving both animal models and clinical and molecular epidemiology techniques, are essential.

Abstract
Alterations in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) contribute to alveolar simplification seen in animal models of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and VEGF expression is redox regulated by thioredoxin (Trx)-1 in other diseases. The present studies tested the hypothesis that exposure to 85% O2 negatively impacts the Trx1 system and VEGF expression in the lungs of newborn mice. There was no effect of fraction of inspired oxygen on lung Trx1 or Trx reductase-1 protein levels; however, lung Trx1 protein was predominantly oxidized in the lungs of newborn mice exposed to 85% O2 by 24 hours of exposure. In room air (RA), lung Trx interacting protein (Txnip) levels decreased developmentally through Day 7 (1.0 +/- 0.06 [Day 1] vs. 0.49 +/- 0.10 [Day 3] vs. 0.29 +/- 0.03 [Day 7]; P < 0.01), whereas VEGF expression increased (1.25 +/- 0.16 [Day 1] vs. 4.35 +/- 1.51 [Day 3] vs. 13.23 +/- 0.37 [Day 7]; P < 0.01). Newborn mice exposed to 85% O2 had no developmental decrease in Txnip protein levels and a delayed increase in VEGF protein levels. Lung Txnip and VEGF protein levels were different than in corresponding RA controls at Day 3, before the detection of lung morphologic abnormalities in our model. Txnip and VEGF protein levels were inversely correlated in both the RA and hyperoxia-exposed groups (n = 18; R = -0.66; P = 0.003). In conclusion, oxidation of Trx1 and sustained Txnip expression in the lungs of newborn mice exposed to 85% oxygen is likely to severely attenuate normal Trx1 function. The inverse correlation of Txnip with VEGF expression suggests that decreased Trx1 function contributes to the observed lung developmental abnormalities.

Abstract
RATIONALE Human data suggest that the incidence of acute lung injury is reduced in patients with type II diabetes mellitus. However, the mechanisms by which diabetes confers protection from lung injury are unknown. OBJECTIVES To determine whether leptin resistance, which is seen in humans with diabetes, protects mice from hyperoxic lung injury. METHODS Wild-type (leptin responsive) and db/db (leptin resistant) mice were used in these studies. Mice were exposed to hyperoxia (100% O(2)) for 84 hours to induce lung injury and up to 168 hours for survival studies. Alveolar fluid clearance was measured in vivo. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Lung leptin levels were increased both in wild-type and leptin receptor-defective db/db mice after hyperoxia. Hyperoxia-induced lung injury was decreased in db/db compared with wild-type mice. Hyperoxia increased lung permeability in wild-type mice but not in db/db mice. Compared with wild-type control animals, db/db mice were resistant to hyperoxia-induced mortality (lethal dose for 50% of mice, 152 vs. 108 h). Intratracheal instillation of leptin at a dose that was observed in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid during hyperoxia caused lung injury in wild-type but not in db/db mice. Intratracheal pretreatment with a leptin receptor inhibitor attenuated leptin-induced lung edema. The hyperoxia-induced release of proinflammatory cytokines was attenuated in db/db mice. Despite resistance to lung injury, db/db mice had diminished alveolar fluid clearance and reduced Na,K-ATPase function compared with wild-type mice. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that leptin can induce and that resistance to leptin attenuates hyperoxia-induced lung injury and hyperoxia-induced inflammatory cytokines in the lung.

Abstract
Cytokines are peptides that are produced by virtually every nucleated cell type in the body, possess overlapping biological activities, exert different effects at different concentrations, can either synergize or antagonize the effects of other cytokines, are regulated in a complex manner, and function via cytokine cascades. Hyperoxia-induced acute lung injury (HALI) is characterized by an influx of inflammatory cells, increased pulmonary permeability, and endothelial and epithelial cell injury/death. Some of these effects are orchestrated by cytokines. There are significant differences in the response of the developing versus the adult lung to hyperoxia. We review here cytokines (and select growth factors) that are involved in tolerance toward HALI in animal models. Increased cytokine expression and release have a cascade effect in HALI. IL-1 precedes the increase in IL-6 and CINC-1/IL-8 and this seems to predate the influx of inflammatory cells. Inflammatory cells in the alveolar space amplify the lung damage. Other cytokines that are primarily involved in this inflammatory response include IFN-gamma, MCP-1, and MIP-2. Certain cytokines (and growth factors) seem to ameliorate HALI by affecting cell death pathways. These include GM-CSF, KGF, IL-11, IL-13, and VEGF. There are significant differences in the type and temporal sequence of cytokine expression and release in the adult and newborn lung in response to hyperoxia. The newborn lung is greatly resistant to hyperoxia compared to the adult. The delayed increase in lung IL-1 and IL-6 in the newborn could induce protective factors that would help in the resolution of hyperoxia-induced injury. Designing a therapeutic approach to counteract oxygen toxicity in the adult and immature lung first needs understanding of the unique responses in each scenario.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea, a syndrome leading to recurrent intermittent hypoxia (IH), has been associated previously with hypercholesterolemia, independent of underlying obesity. We examined the effects of experimentally induced IH on serum lipid levels and pathways of lipid metabolism in the absence and presence of obesity. Lean C57BL/6J mice and leptin-deficient obese C57BL/6J-Lep(ob) mice were exposed to IH for five days to determine changes in serum lipid profile, liver lipid content, and expression of key hepatic genes of lipid metabolism. In lean mice, exposure to IH increased fasting serum levels of total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, phospholipids (PLs), and triglycerides (TGs), as well as liver TG content. These changes were not observed in obese mice, which had hyperlipidemia and fatty liver at baseline. In lean mice, IH increased sterol regulatory element binding protein 1 (SREBP-1) levels in the liver, increased mRNA and protein levels of stearoyl-coenzyme A desaturase 1 (SCD-1), an important gene of TG and PL biosynthesis controlled by SREBP-1, and increased monounsaturated fatty acid content in serum, which indicated augmented SCD-1 activity. In addition, in lean mice, IH decreased protein levels of scavenger receptor B1, regulating uptake of cholesterol esters and HDL by the liver. We conclude that exposure to IH for five days increases serum cholesterol and PL levels, upregulates pathways of TG and PL biosynthesis, and inhibits pathways of cholesterol uptake in the liver in the lean state but does not exacerbate the pre-existing hyperlipidemia and metabolic disturbances in leptin-deficient obesity.

Abstract
Exposure to high oxygen concentration causes direct oxidative cell damage through increased production of reactive oxygen species. In vivo oxygen-induced lung injury is well characterized in rodents and has been used as a valuable model of human respiratory distress syndrome. Hyperoxia-induced lung injury can be considered as a bimodal process resulting (1) from direct oxygen toxicity and (2) from the accumulation of inflammatory mediators within the lungs. Both apoptosis and necrosis have been described in alveolar cells (mainly epithelial and endothelial) during hyperoxia. While the in vitro response to oxygen seems to be cell type-dependent in tissue cultures, it is still unclear which are the death mechanisms and pathways implicated in vivo. Even though it is not yet possible to distinguish unequivocally between apo-ptosis, necrosis, or other intermediate form(s) of cell death, a great variety of strategies has been shown to prevent alveolar damage and to increase animal survival during hyperoxia. In this review, we summarize the different cell death pathways leading to alveolar damage during hyperoxia, with particular attention to the pivotal role of mitochondria. In addition, we discuss the different protective mechanisms potentially interfering with alveolar cell death.

Abstract
We previously reported that exposure of mice to hyperoxia is characterized by extensive lung cell necrosis and apoptosis, mild inflammatory response, and elevated circulating levels of corticosterone. Administration of hydroxycortisone acetate during hyperoxia aggravated lung injury. Using adrenalectomized (ADX) and sham-operated (sham) mice, we studied the role of the glucocorticoids in hyperoxia-induced lung injury. Lung damage was attenuated in ADX mice as measured by lung weight and protein and cell content in bronchoalveolar lavage and as seen by light microscopy. Mortality was delayed by 10 h. Nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) activity was significantly decreased in lungs of sham mice exposed to hyperoxia but was preserved in ADX mice. There was a correlation between NF-kappaB activity in ADX mice and decreased levels of IkappaBalpha. In contrast, activator protein-1 activity increased similarly in both groups of mice. Levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), a transcriptional target of NF-kappaB, were higher in bronchoalveolar lavage and serum of ADX than sham mice. However, the protective effect of ADX was not mediated by IL-6, because administration of recombinant human IL-6 to sham mice did not prevent lung damage. These results demonstrate that the adrenal response aggravates alveolar injury and is likely to be mediated by the decrease of NF-kappaB function involved in cell survival.

Abstract
Recent studies suggest that apoptosis plays a role in oxygen-induced injury, although the activation pathways and the executioner proteases that lead to cleavage of lung cell proteins and DNA, are not yet identified. We explored previously the tumor necrosis factor/tumor necrosis factor receptor and the Fas/FasL, belonging to the intrinsic pathway, and could not demonstrate any protective effect by interfering with these cell receptors. Lately, it has been shown that interacting with the CD40 system, also known to promote cell death, by administering anti-CD40 ligand (L) antibody was beneficial in several diseases and, in particular, in hyperoxia-induced injury. Using CD40- and CD40L-deficient mice (-/-) as well as administering anti-CD40L antibody, we examined the extent of lung injury in oxygen-breathing mice by several ways (lung weight, histology, inflammatory mediators, and DNA ladder) as well as the mortality. The development of lung injury was similar in wild-type, CD40-/-, CD40L-/-, or in wild-type mice treated with anti-CD40L antibody. Apoptosis was present in all conditions at 72 hours of oxygen exposure. These results show that oxygen-induced injury does not require CD40-CD40L interaction and that apoptosis of lung cells does not involve this pathway.
