[PMID: 38183518 DOI: 10.1007/s12031-023-02176-1] [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: 08/18/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/08/2024]
Abstract
The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) affects many functions of the body. SNS fibers regulate many aspects of liver function, repair, and regeneration. However, in the model of bile duct ligation (BDL) in rats, the kind of impact caused by the regulation of liver SNS on liver fibrosis and liver regeneration is unclear. The main research objective of this experiment is to examine the effect of SNS on liver fibrosis and liver regeneration. Twenty-four male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were assigned randomly to four groups. These groups included the sham surgery group (sham), model group (BDL), 6-hydroxydopamine group (BDL+6-OHDA), and spinal cord injury group (BDL+SCI). In the sham group, only exploratory laparotomy was performed without BDL. In the 6-OHDA group, 6-OHDA was used to remove sympathetic nerves after BDL. In the spinal cord injury group, rats underwent simultaneous BDL and spinal cord injury. After 3 weeks of feeding, four groups of rats were euthanized using high-dose anesthesia without pain. Moreover, liver tissue and blood were taken to detect liver fibrosis and regeneration indicators. After intraperitoneal injection of 6-OHDA into BDL rats, liver fibrosis indicators decreased. The administration of the injection effectively alleviated liver fibrosis and inhibited liver regeneration. However, after SCI surgery in BDL rats, liver fibrosis indicators increased. This resulted in exacerbating liver fibrosis and activating liver regeneration. The SNS plays a role in contributing to the liver injury process in the rat BDL model. Therefore, regulating the SNS may become a novel method for liver injury treatment.

Abstract
Hypothermia develops during systemic anaphylaxis in rodents. The aim of this study was to elucidate the mechanism for the hypothermia by assessing the roles of locomotor activity, tail heat dissipation, heat production in the brown adipose tissue (BAT) activity, and chemical mediators during ovalbumin-induced anaphylactic hypotension in awake rats. We measured the core body temperature (Tcore) and mean blood pressure (MBP), along with the surface temperature of the interscapular region (TiScap), an indirect measure of BAT activity, and the tail (Ttail). During anaphylaxis, MBP decreased to the nadir of 53 ± 2 mmHg at 8 min with recovery toward baseline. Tcore began to decrease at 7.5 min with the nadir of 36.1 ± 0.2°C at 30 min from the baseline of 38.0 ± 0.1°C. TiScap also significantly decreased, but its onset was preceded by that of Tcore. Ttail decreased after antigen, suggesting the absence of increased heat dissipation from the tail. The physical activity, as evaluated by moved distances, did not decrease until 20 min after antigen, followed by a progressive decrease. Reduced movement using a restraint maneuver not only reduced Tcore in nonsensitized rats but also augmented the anaphylactic hypothermia in the early phase (1.5-18 min) in sensitized rats. Combined antagonism against platelet-activating factor (PAF) and histamine H1 receptors abolished antigen-induced hypotension but only attenuated hypothermia. In conclusion, decreased locomotor activity, but not tail heat dissipation or decreased BAT activity, may at least in part contribute to this hypothermia. PAF and histamine are involved mainly in hypotension but only partly in hypothermia during rat anaphylaxis.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Anaphylactic shock is a life-threatening systemic hypotension. Hypothermia is observed during systemic anaphylaxis of rats. We determined the mechanism as follows: decreased locomotor activity, but not tail heat dissipation or decreased BAT activity, may at least in part contribute to this hypothermia. PAF and histamine are involved mainly in hypotension, but only partly in hypothermia during rat anaphylaxis.

Life Sci 2020; 262:118478. [PMID: 32976883 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2020.118478] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2020] [Revised: 09/07/2020] [Accepted: 09/17/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
AIMS The development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is partially attributed to disturbance in cholesterol metabolism and sympathetic overactivity. Excessive levels of the sympathetic neurotransmitter neuropeptide Y (NPY) positively correlated with both NAFLD and cholesterol accumulation. We wanted to determine, for the first time, whether NPY promotes cholesterol accumulation directly in hepatocytes and elucidate the underlying mechanism. MAIN METHODS In vivo, NPY was injected through the hepatic portal vein into SD rats. One hour later, serum and liver tissues were collected. In vitro, BRL-3A hepatocytes were treated with NPY, and with Y1, Y2, Y5, receptor antagonists as well as with extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) antagonist, respectively. Cholesterol content was measured by coupled enzyme method. Precursor sterol-regulatory element binding protein 2 (pSREBP2), mature SREBP2 (mSREBP2), HMG-CoA reductase (HMGCR), ERK1/2, pERK1/2, cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), and pPKA protein expression levels were examined by western blotting. KEY FINDINGS In rats, intraportal vein injection of NPY activates pSREBP2, mSREBP2, and HMGCR protein expression, and induces hepatic cholesterol accumulation. In BRL-3A cells, we observed that NPY increases cholesterogenic protein expression and cholesterol synthesis through Y1 and Y5 receptors. This effect is mediated by the activation of the ERK1/2 signaling pathway. SIGNIFICANCE We demonstrated, for the first time, that NPY can activate the cholesterogenic pathway and elucidated the underlying mechanism. Thus, NPY and NPY receptors might be new targets for the treatment of NAFLD and dyslipidemia.

Abstract
Systemic anaphylaxis is a life-threatening and allergic reaction that affects various organs. We previously reported that, in the stomach, gastric vasoconstriction occurring at the late phase (15-55 min after injection of ovalbumin antigen) was observed in anesthetized rats sensitized with ovalbumin. In addition, anaphylaxis enhances gastric motility and delays emptying. However, the role of extrinsic autonomic nervous system on antigen-induced gastric alterations was not known. Thus, using the same rat anaphylaxis model, we aimed to determine the changes in the efferent and afferent autonomic nerve activities in the stomach during anaphylactic hypotension. The findings showed that injection of ovalbumin antigen caused substantial systemic hypotension in all sensitized rats. The efferent gastric sympathetic nerve activity (ef-GSNA), but not the efferent vagal nerve activity, increased only at the early phase (1-10 min after injection of ovalbumin antigen) and showed baroreceptor reflex, as evidenced by a stimulatory response to sodium nitroprusside-induced hypotension. In general, excitation of ef-GSNA could induce pylorus sphincter contraction and gastric vasoconstriction. In the present study, we found that sympathectomy attenuated the anaphylaxis-induced decrease in gastric flux but not the increase in gastric vascular resistance. Thus, the increase in ef-GSNA may cause anaphylactic pylorus sphincter contraction but not anaphylactic gastric vasoconstriction. On the other hand, the afferent gastric vagal nerve activity, but not the afferent sympathetic nerve activity, increased during the early phase of anaphylactic hypotension. However, vagotomy produced no effects on the anaphylactic gastric dysfunction. In conclusion, the gastric sympathetic nerves partly modulate stomach function during systemic anaphylaxis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A robust adrenergic response following stroke impairs lymphocyte function, which may prevent the development of autoimmune responses to brain antigens. We tested whether inhibition of the sympathetic response after stroke would increase the propensity for developing autoimmune responses to brain antigens. METHODS Male Lewis rats were treated with 6-hydroxydopamine (OHDA) prior to middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), labetalol after MCAO, or appropriate controls. Behavior was assessed weekly and animals survived to 1 month at which time ELISPOT assays were done on lymphocytes from spleen and brain to determine the Th1 and Th17 responses to myelin basic protein (MBP), ovalbumin (OVA), and concanavalin A. A subset of animals was sacrificed 72 hours after MCAO for evaluation of infarct volume and lymphocyte responsiveness. Plasma C-reactive protein (CRP) was measured as a biomarker of systemic inflammation. RESULTS Despite similar initial stroke severity and infarct volumes, 6-OHDA-treated animals lost less weight and experienced less hyperthermia after stroke. 6-OHDA-treated animals also had decreased CRP in circulation early after stroke and experienced better neurological outcomes at 1 month. The Th1 and Th17 responses to MBP did not differ among treatment groups at 1 month, but the Th1 response to OVA in spleen was more robust in labetalol and less robust in 6-OHDA-treated animals. CONCLUSIONS Chemical sympathectomy with 6-OHDA, but not treatment with labetalol, decreased systemic markers of inflammation early after stroke and improved long-term outcome. An increase in Th1 and Th17 responses to MBP was not seen with inhibition of the sympathetic response.

Abstract
NEW FINDINGS What is the central question of this study? Whether anaphylaxis affects sympathetic outflows to the brown adipose tissue (BAT) and adrenal gland and whether anaphylaxis affects some brain areas in association with sympathetic regulation. What is the main finding and its importance? Sympathoexcitatory responses to anaphylaxis occurred regionally in the kidney and adrenal gland, but not in the thermogenesis-related BAT. Further, anaphylactic hypotension also caused increase in c-fos immunoreactivity in the hypothalamic and medullary areas. Moreover, catecholaminergic neurons of the brainstem cause adrenal sympathoexcitation in a baroreceptor-independent manner. ABSTRACT We previously reported that sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) to the kidney and the hindlimb increases during anaphylactic hypotension in anaesthetized rats. Based on this evidence, we examined effects of anaphylactic hypotension on SNA to the brown adipose tissue (BAT), and the adrenal gland and kidney in anaesthetized rats. We demonstrated that adrenal and renal SNA, but not BAT-SNA, were stimulated. In addition, the effects of anaphylaxis on neural activities of the hypothalamic and medullary nuclei, which are candidates for relaying efferent SNA to the peripheral organs, were investigated via immunohistochemical staining of c-fos. Anaphylaxis increased c-fos expression in the neurons of the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus and in those of the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) and rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) of the medulla oblongata; c-fos was expressed in γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-ergic neurons of the NTS and in the catecholaminergic neurons of the RVLM. In addition, c-fos expression in the rostral NTS and mid NTS during anaphylaxis was reduced by sinoaortic baroreceptor denervation; however, increased c-fos expression in the caudal NTS and RVLM or adrenal sympathoexcitation were not affected by sinoaortic baroreceptor denervation. These results indicated that anaphylactic hypotension activates the hypothalamic PVN and the medullary NTS and RVLM independently of the baroreflex pathway. Further, it stimulated efferent SNA to the adrenal gland and kidney to restore blood pressure.

Abstract
Aim: The hemodynamic response to mouse systemic anaphylaxis is characterized by an initial hypertension followed by sustained hypotension. However, the defense mechanisms of the sympathetic nervous system against this circulatory disturbance is not known. Here, we investigated the renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) response to mouse systemic anaphylaxis, along with the roles of carotid sinus baroreceptor, vagal nerves and the transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 channel (TRPV1). Methods: Male ovalbumin-sensitized C57BL/6N mice were used under pentobarbital anesthesia. RSNA, systemic arterial pressure (SAP) and heart rate (HR) were continuously measured for 60 min after the antigen injection. Results: Within 3 min after antigen injection, RSNA decreased along with a transient increase in SAP. Thereafter, RSNA showed a progressive increase during sustained hypotension. In contrast, HR continuously increased. Sinoaortic denervation, but not vagotomy, significantly attenuated the renal sympathoexcitation and tachycardia from 30 and 46 min, respectively, after antigen. The responses of RSNA, SAP and HR to anaphylaxis were not affected by pretreatment with a TRPV1 inhibitor, capsazepine, or by genetic knockout of TRPV1. Conclusion: The mouse systemic anaphylaxis causes a biphasic RSNA response with an initial baroreflex-independent decrease and secondary increase. The antigen-induced sympathoexcitation and tachycardia at the late stage are partly mediated by carotid sinus baroreceptors. Either vagal nerve or TRPV1 does not play any significant roles in the RSNA and HR responses in anesthetized mice.

Abstract
Anaphylactic shock is life-threatening, but pathophysiology of the stomach lesion remains unclear. We determined gastric hemodynamics and gastric functions during anaphylactic hypotension, as compared to hypotension induced by hemorrhage or sodium nitroprusside (SNP) in anesthetized and ovalbumin-sensitized Sprague–Dawley rats. Systemic arterial pressure, portal venous pressure, and gastric arterial blood flow were measured, and gastric vascular resistance (GVR) was determined. Separately, the intragastric pressure (IGP) and gastric effluent, as a measure of gastric flux, were continuously measured. During anaphylaxis, GVR decreased only transiently at 0.5 min, followed by an increase. IGP increased markedly, while gastric flux decreased. During hemorrhage, GVR and IGP increased, while gastric flux did not change. When SNP was injected, both GVR and IGP decreased and gastric flux increased only just after injection. In conclusion, gastric vasodilatation occurs only transiently after antigen injection, and gastric motility increases, but gastric emptying deceases during anaphylactic hypotension in anesthetized rats.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cavernous nerve injury (CNI) in rats and radical prostatectomy (RP) in men result in loss of nitrergic function and increased adrenergic-neurogenic contractions of cavernosal tissue. AIM To evaluate the modulation of the α-adrenergic system as a strategy to relieve erectile dysfunction (ED) and functional cavernosal alterations induced by CNI. METHODS A non-selective α-blocker (phentolamine 1 mg/kg daily), a selective α1A-blocker (silodosin [SILOD] 0.1 mg/kg daily), or vehicle was orally administered for 4 weeks after bilateral crush CNI (BCNI). Erectile and neurogenic responses of the corpus cavernosum (CC) were evaluated. The acute effects of SILOD also were evaluated in vivo (0.03 mg/kg intravenously) and ex vivo (10 nmol/L). The effects of SILOD and tadalafil (TAD) on nitrergic relaxations were determined in human CC from patients with ED with a vascular etiology or ED secondary to RP. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Erectile responses in vivo in rats and neurogenic contractions and relaxations of rat and human CC. RESULTS Long-term treatment with SILOD significantly improved erectile responses and allowed for the potentiation of erectile responses by acute treatment with TAD (0.3 mg/kg intravenously) in rats with BCNI. SILOD partly recovered nitrergic relaxations and normalized neurogenic contractions in CC from rats with BCNI. Long-term treatment with SILOD partly prevented BCNI-induced decreases in neuronal nitric oxide synthase expression. Acute administration of SILOD (0.03 mg/kg intravenously) improved erectile responses in vivo and potentiated nitrergic relaxation and decreased neurogenic contractions ex vivo in CC from rats with BCNI. In human CC from patients with ED with a vascular etiology, TAD (30 nmol/L), SILOD (10 nmol/L), or their combination increased nitrergic relaxations. Potentiation by TAD was lost in human CC from patients with ED after RP but was recovered after co-treatment with SILOD. CONCLUSION α-Adrenergic modulation, especially selective α1A-blockade, improves erectile and cavernosal functions after BCNI. Modulation of the adrenergic system, mainly in combination strategies, could have a role in the management of ED after RP.

The Role of Lumbar Sympathetic Nerves in Regulation of Blood Flow to Skeletal Muscle during Anaphylactic Hypotension in Anesthetized Rats. PLoS One 2016; 11:e0150882. [PMID: 26998924 PMCID: PMC4801202 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0150882] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2015] [Accepted: 02/20/2016] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
During hypovolemic shock, skeletal muscle blood flow could be redistributed to vital organs via vasoconstriction in part evoked by activation of the innervating sympathetic nerve activity. However, it is not well known whether this mechanism operates during anaphylactic shock. We determined the femoral artery blood flow (FBF) and lumbar sympathetic nerve activity (LSNA) mainly regulating the hindquater muscle blood flow during anaphylactic hypotension in anesthetized rats. Anesthetized Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly allocated to the following groups (n = 7/group): (1) non-sensitized, (2) anaphylaxis, (3) anaphylaxis-lumbar sympathectomy (LS) and (4) anaphylaxis-sinoaortic denervation (SAD) groups. Anaphylaxis was induced by an intravenous injection of the ovalbumin antigen to the sensitized rats. The systemic arterial pressure (SAP), heart rate (HR), central venous pressure (CVP), FBF and LSNA were continuously measured. In the anaphylaxis group, LSNA and HR increased, while SAP and FBF decreased after antigen injection. In the anaphylaxis-SAD group, LSNA did not significantly change during the early phase, but the responses of SAP and FBF were similar to those in the anaphylaxis group. In the anaphylaxis-LS group, both FBF and SAP decreased similarly to the anaphylaxis group during anaphylactic hypotension. These results indicated that LSNA increased via baroreceptor reflex, but this sympathoexcitation or LS did not affect antigen-induced decreases in FBF or SAP. Lumbar sympathetic nerves are not involved in regulation of the blood flow to the hindlimb or systemic blood pressure during anaphylactic hypotension in anesthetized rats.

Role of the sympathetic nervous system in carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatotoxicity and systemic inflammation. PLoS One 2015; 10:e0121365. [PMID: 25799095 PMCID: PMC4370606 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0121365] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2014] [Accepted: 01/31/2015] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is widely used as an animal model of hepatotoxicity and the mechanisms have been arduously studied, however, the contribution of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) in CCl4-induced acute hepatotoxicity remains controversial. It is also known that either CCl4 or SNS can affect systemic inflammatory responses. The aim of this study was to establish the effect of chemical sympathectomy with 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) in a mouse model of CCl4-induced acute hepatotoxicity and systemic inflammatory response. Mice exposed to CCl4 or vehicle were pretreated with 6-OHDA or saline. The serum levels of aminotransferases and alkaline phosphatase in the CCl4-poisoning mice with sympathetic denervation were significantly lower than those without sympathetic denervation. With sympathetic denervation, hepatocellular necrosis and fat infiltration induced by CCl4 were greatly decreased. Sympathetic denervation significantly attenuated CCl4-induced lipid peroxidation in liver and serum. Acute CCl4 intoxication showed increased expression of inflammatory cytokines/chemokines [eotaxin-2/CCL24, Fas ligand, interleukin (IL)-1α, IL-6, IL-12p40p70, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1/CCL2), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)], as well as decreased expression of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor and keratinocyte-derived chemokine. The overexpressed levels of IL-1α, IL-6, IL-12p40p70, MCP-1/CCL2, and TNF-α were attenuated by sympathetic denervation. Pretreatment with dexamethasone significantly reduced CCl4-induced hepatic injury. Collectively, this study demonstrates that the SNS plays an important role in CCl4-induced acute hepatotoxicity and systemic inflammation and the effect may be connected with chemical- or drug-induced hepatotoxicity and circulating immune response.

Abstract
The autonomic nervous system plays an important role in rat anaphylactic hypotension. It is well known that sympathetic nerve activity and cardiovascular function are affected by anesthetics. However, the effects of different types of anesthesia on the efferent renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) during anaphylactic hypotension remain unknown. Therefore, we determined the renal sympathetic responses to anaphylactic hypotension in anesthetized and conscious rats and the roles of baroreceptors in these responses. Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly allocated to anesthetic groups that were given pentobarbital, urethane, or ketamine-xylazine and to a conscious group. The rats were sensitized using subcutaneously injected ovalbumin. The systemic arterial pressure (SAP), RSNA and heart rate (HR) were measured. The effects of sinoaortic baroreceptor denervation on RSNA during anaphylaxis were determined in pentobarbital-anesthetized and conscious rats. In all of the sensitized rats, the RSNA increased and SAP decreased after antigen injection. At the early phase within 35 min of the antigen injection, the antigen-induced sympathoexcitation in the conscious rats was significantly greater than that in the anesthetized rats. Anaphylactic hypotension was attenuated in the conscious rats compared to the anesthetized rats. The anesthetic-induced suppression of SAP and RSNA was greater in the order ketamine-xylazine >urethane = pentobarbital. Indeed, in the rats treated with ketamine-xylazine, RSNA did not increase until 40 min, and SAP remained at low levels after the antigen injection. The baroreceptor reflex, as evaluated by increases in RSNA and HR in response to the decrease in SAP induced by sodium nitroprusside (SNP), was suppressed in the anesthetized rats compared with the conscious rats. Consistent with this finding, baroreceptor denervation attenuated the excitatory responses of RSNA to anaphylaxis in the conscious rats but not in the pentobarbital-anesthetized rats. RSNA was increased markedly in conscious rats during anaphylactic hypotension. Anesthetics attenuated this antigen-induced renal sympathoexcitation through the suppression of baroreceptor function.
