Abstract
INTRODUCTION Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a leading cause of respiratory failure, with substantial attributable morbidity and mortality. The small animal models that are currently used for ARDS do not fully manifest all of the pathological hallmarks of human patients, which hampers both the studies of disease mechanism and drug development. OBJECTIVES To examine whether the phenotypic changes of primate-like tree shrews in response to a one-hit lipopolysaccharides (LPS) injury resemble human ARDS features. METHODS LPS was administered to tree shrews through intratracheal instillation; then, the animals underwent CT or PET/CT imaging to examine the changes in the structure and function of the whole lung. The lung histology was analyzed by H&E staining and immunohistochemical staining of inflammatory cells. RESULTS Results demonstrated that tree shrews exhibited an average survival time of 3-5 days after LPS insult, as well as an obvious symptom of dyspnea before death. The ratios of PaO2 to FiO2 (P/F ratio) were close to those of moderate ARDS in humans. CT imaging showed that the scope of the lung injury in tree shrews after LPS treatment were extensive. PET/CT imaging with 18F-FDG displayed an obvious inflammatory infiltration. Histological analysis detected the formation of a hyaline membrane, which is usually present in human ARDS. CONCLUSION This study established a lung injury model with a primate-like small animal model and confirmed that they have similar features to human ARDS, which might provide a valuable tool for translational research.

Abstract
Background: Hyperoxia-induced acute lung injury (HALI) is a complication to ventilation in patients with respiratory failure, which can lead to acute inflammatory lung injury and chronic lung disease. The aim of this study was to integrate bioinformatics analysis to identify key genes associated with HALI and validate their role in H2O2-induced cell injury model.Methods: Integrated bioinformatics analysis was performed to screen vital genes involved in hyperoxia-induced lung injury (HLI). CCK-8 and flow cytometry assays were performed to assess cell viability and apoptosis. Western blotting was performed to assess protein expression.Results: In this study, glycoprotein non-metastatic melanoma protein B (Gpnmb) was identified as a key gene in HLI by integrated bioinformatics analysis of 4 Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets (GSE97804, GSE51039, GSE76301 and GSE87350). Knockdown of Gpnmb increased cell viability and decreased apoptosis in H2O2-treated MLE-12 cells, suggesting that Gpnmb was a proapoptotic gene during HALI. Western blotting results showed that knockdown of Gpnmb reduced the expression of Bcl-2 associated X (BAX) and cleaved-caspase 3, and increased the expression of Bcl-2 in H2O2 treated MLE-12 cells. Furthermore, Gpnmb knockdown could significantly reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and improve the mitochondrial membrane potential.Conclusion: The present study showed that knockdown of Gpnmb may protect against HLI by repressing mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis.

Abstract
Melatonin, a ubiquitous hormone, is principally secreted from pineal gland in mammals and possesses strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, its specific roles in the immune functions of dendritic cells (DCs) during acute lung injury (ALI) remain unknown. In this study, we found that melatonin restored the body weight, decreased the lung weight/body weight ratio, alleviated the histopathological lung injury, and decreased the levels of cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-12p70, IL-17, and IL-10) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI murine model. Moreover, melatonin inhibited the major histocompatibility complex II (MHCII) expression of lung CD11b+ DCs after LPS challenge in vivo. In vitro, melatonin reversed the shape index, promoted the endocytosis, and inhibited phenotypic expression of MHCII, CD40, CD80, and CD86 in LPS-activated DCs. Furthermore, melatonin decreased the expression of an activated marker, CD69, and the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-12p70, and IL-17) after LPS challenge. It hampered the LPS-activated DCs migration by downregulating the C-C chemokine receptor 7 (CCR7) expression, and then weakened the ability of LPS-induced DCs to stimulate allogeneic CD4+ T cell proliferation. Melatonin shaped the immune function of DCs in a nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf-2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) axis-dependent manner. These findings indicate that melatonin protects DCs from ALI-induced immunological stress and may be used to develop novel DC-targeting strategies for ALI therapy.

[PMID: 36423713 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2022.115948] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2022] [Revised: 11/03/2022] [Accepted: 11/14/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Glycyrrhiza glabra L. is a widely used traditional Chinese medicine with antipyretic, detoxification, antibacterial and therapeutic effects against various diseases, including liver diseases. Glycyrrhizin (GL), the most significant active ingredient of Glycyrrhiza glabra L., exerts anti-inflammatory activity. However, the anti-inflammatory effect of GL remains to be determined. AIM OF THIS STUDY Consequently, this research was carried out to discover the effects and mechanism of action of GL on ALI. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cell experiments established an in vitro model of LPS-induced RAW 264.7 macrophages to verify the mechanism. The levels of NO, PEG2, and inflammatory cytokines were estimated by ELISA. The expression levels of proteins related to the NF-κB signalling pathway and NLRP3 inflammasome were determined by Western blotting. The nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 and ASC was tested through immunofluorescence analysis. The inhibitory effect of NLRP3 inhibitor MCC950 on macrophage was evaluated. Male BALB/C mice were selected to establish the ALI model. The experiment was randomly divided into five groups: control, ALI, GLL, GLH, and DEX. Pathological alterations were explored by H&E staining. The weight ratios of lung W/D, MPO, and inflammatory cytokines were evaluated by ELISA. The expression levels of proteins related to the NF-κB signalling pathway or NLRP3 inflammasome were analysed by Western blotting. RESULTS Here, we demonstrate that GL attenuates inflammation, nitric oxide, IL-18, IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6, and PGE2 levels and alveolar epithelial barrier permeability in macrophages and mice challenged with LPS. In addition, GL inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome initiation and activation and NF-κB signalling pathway activation. CONCLUSION This research demonstrates that GL may alleviate ALI inflammation by interfering with the NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammasome signalling pathway.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a disease characterized by pulmonary diffusion dysfunction and its exacerbation stage is acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which may develop to multiple organ failure and seriously threatens human health. ALI has high mortality rates and few effective treatments, thus effective protection measures for ALI are becoming increasingly important. Macrophages play a key regulatory role in the pathogenesis of ALI, and the degree of macrophage polarization is closely related to the severity and prognosis of ALI. In this study, we evaluated the effects of Zanubrutinib (ZB), a BTK small molecule inhibitor approved by the FDA for the treatment of cell lymphoma, on macrophage polarization and acute lung injury. In the in vivo study, we constructed a mouse model of Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury and found that ZB could improve the acute injury of mouse lungs by inhibiting the secretion of proinflammatory factors and promoting the secretion of anti-inflammatory factors, reduce the number of inflammatory cells in alveolar lavage fluid, and then alleviate the inflammatory response. In vivo and in vitro studies have shown that ZB could inhibit the M1 macrophage polarization and promote the M2 macrophage polarization. Subsequent mechanistic studies revealed that ZB could inhibit the macrophage M1 polarization via targeting BTK activation and inhibiting JAK2/STAT1 and TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathways, and promote the macrophage M2 polarization by promoting the activation of STAT6 and PI3K / Akt signaling pathways. In summary, ZB has shown therapeutic effect in LPS-induced acute lung injury in mice, which provides a potential candidate drug to treat acute lung injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As we all know, pulmonary edema can be diagnosed by lung ultrasound (LUS), but how to accurately and quantitatively evaluate lung water content by ultrasound is a difficult problem that needs to be solved urgently. B-line assessment with LUS has recently been proposed as a reliable, noninvasive semiquantitative tool for evaluating extravascular lung water (EVLW). To date, however, there has been no easy quantitative method to evaluate EVLW by LUS. OBJECTIVE (1) To explore the feasibility of establishing a rabbit model with increased EVLW by injecting warm normal saline (NS) into the lungs via the endotracheal tube. (2) To establish a simple, accurate and clinically operable method for quantitative assessment of EVLW using LUS. (3) To develop LUS into a resource for guiding the clinical treatment of patients with increased EVLW. METHODS Forty-five New Zealand rabbits were randomized into nine groups (n = 5). After anesthesia, each group of rabbits was injected with different amounts of warm sterile NS (0 ml/kg, 2 ml/kg, 4 ml/kg, 6 ml/kg, 8 ml/kg, 10 ml/kg, 15 ml/kg, 20 ml/kg, 30 ml/kg) via the endotracheal tube. Each rabbit was examined by LUS before and after NS injection. At the same time, the spontaneous respiratory rate (RR, breaths per minute), heart rate (HR, bpm) and arterial blood gas (ABG) of the rabbits were recorded. Then, both lungs were dissected to obtain the wet and dry weight and conduct a complete histological examination. RESULTS Injecting NS into the lungs through a tracheal tube can successfully establish a rabbit model with increased EVLW. The extent of EVLW increase is related to the volume of NS injected into the lungs. As the EVLW increases, three different types of B-lines can be seen in the LUS. When the NS injection volume is 2-6 ml/kg, comet-tail artifacts and B-lines are the main patterns found on LUS; as additional NS is injected into the lungs, the rabbits' RR gradually increases, while their HR gradually decreases, ABG remains normal or shows mild metabolic acidosis (MA). Confluent B-lines grow gradually but significantly, reaching a dominant position when the NS injection volume reaches 6-8 ml/kg and predominating almost entirely when the NS injection volume is 8-15 ml/kg; at that time, rabbits' RRs and HRs decrease sharply, and the ABG indicated type I respiratory failure (RF).Compact B-lines occur and predominate almost entirely when the NS injection volume reaches 10 ml/kg and 15-20 ml/kg, respectively. At that time, rabbits begin to enter cardiac and respiratory arrest, and ABG shows type II RF and MA. CONCLUSION In this study, the establishment of an animal model with increased EVLW confirmed that different lung water content had corresponding manifestations in ultrasound and was associated with different degrees of clinical symptoms, and the study results can be used to guide clinical practice.

Abstract
Organoids are complex multicellular three-dimensional (3D) in vitro models that are designed to allow accurate studies of the molecular processes and pathologies of human organs. Organoids can be derived from a variety of cell types, such as human primary progenitor cells, pluripotent stem cells, or tumor-derived cells and can be co-cultured with immune or microbial cells to further mimic the tissue niche. Here, we focus on the development of 3D lung organoids and their use as disease models and drug screening tools. We introduce the various experimental approaches used to model complex human diseases and analyze their advantages and disadvantages. We also discuss validation of the organoids and their physiological relevance to the study of lung diseases. Furthermore, we summarize the current use of lung organoids as models of host-pathogen interactions and human lung diseases such as cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or SARS-CoV-2 infection. Moreover, we discuss the use of lung organoids derived from tumor cells as lung cancer models and their application in personalized cancer medicine research. Finally, we outline the future of research in the field of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived organoids.

Abstract
A small but significant proportion of Covid19 patients develop life-threatening cytokine storm. We have developed a new anti-inflammatory drug, EXO-CD24, a combination of an immune checkpoint (CD24) and a delivery platform (exosomes). CD24 inhibits the NF-kB pathway and the production of cytokines/chemokines. EXO-CD24 discriminates Damage- from Pathogen-Associated Molecular Patterns (DAMPs and PAMPs) therefore does not interfere with viral clearance. EXO-CD24 was produced and purified from CD24-expressing 293-TREx™ cells. Exosomes displaying murine CD24 (mCD24) were also created. EXO-CD24/mCD24 were characterized and examined, for safety and efficacy, in vitro and in vivo. In a phase Ib/IIa study, 35 patients with moderate-high severity COVID-19 were recruited and given escalating doses, 108 -1010 , of EXO-CD24 by inhalation, QD, for five days. No adverse events related to the drug were observed up to 443-575 days. EXO-CD24 effectively reduced inflammatory markers and cytokine/chemokine, though randomized studies are required. EXO CD24 may be a treatment strategy to suppress the hyper-inflammatory response in the lungs of Covid-19 patients and further serve as a therapeutic platform for other pulmonary and systemic diseases characterized by cytokine storm.

Antioxidant Activity of Vitamin C against LPS-Induced Septic Cardiomyopathy by Down-Regulation of Oxidative Stress and Inflammation. Curr Issues Mol Biol 2022; 44:2387-2400. [PMID: 35678692 PMCID: PMC9164034 DOI: 10.3390/cimb44050163] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2022] [Revised: 05/19/2022] [Accepted: 05/20/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
In severe cases of sepsis, endotoxin-induced cardiomyopathy can cause major damage to the heart. This study was designed to see if Vitamin C (Vit C) could prevent lipopolysaccharide-induced heart damage. Eighteen Sprague Dawley male rats (n = 6) were divided into three groups. Rats received 0.5 mL saline by oral gavage in addition to a standard diet (Control group), rats received one dose of endotoxin on day 15 (lipopolysaccharide) (LPS) (6 mg/kg), which produced endotoxemia (Endotoxin group), and rats that received 500 mg/Kg BW of Vit C by oral gavage for 15 days before LPS administration (Endotoxin plus Vit C group). In all groups, blood and tissue samples were collected on day 15, six hours after LPS administration, for histopathological and biochemical analysis. The LPS injection lowered superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels and increased malondialdehyde in tissues compared with a control group. Furthermore, the endotoxin group showed elevated inflammatory biomarkers, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). Both light and electron microscopy showed that the endotoxic-treated group’s cardiomyocytes, intercalated disks, mitochondria, and endothelial cells were damaged. In endotoxemic rats, Vit C pretreatment significantly reduced MDA levels and restored SOD activity, minimized biomarkers of inflammation, and mitigated cardiomyocyte damage. In conclusion: Vit C protects against endotoxin-induced cardiomyopathy by inhibiting oxidative stress cytokines.

Early Restrictive Fluid Strategy Impairs the Diaphragm Force in Lambs with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. Anesthesiology 2022; 136:749-762.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effect of fluid management strategies in critical illness-associated diaphragm weakness are unknown. This study hypothesized that a liberal fluid strategy induces diaphragm muscle fiber edema, leading to reduction in diaphragmatic force generation in the early phase of experimental pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome in lambs. METHODS Nineteen mechanically ventilated female lambs (2 to 6 weeks old) with experimental pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome were randomized to either a strict restrictive fluid strategy with norepinephrine or a liberal fluid strategy. The fluid strategies were maintained throughout a 6-h period of mechanical ventilation. Transdiaphragmatic pressure was measured under different levels of positive end-expiratory pressure (between 5 and 20 cm H2O). Furthermore, diaphragmatic microcirculation, histology, inflammation, and oxidative stress were studied. RESULTS Transdiaphragmatic pressures decreased more in the restrictive group (-9.6 cm H2O [95% CI, -14.4 to -4.8]) compared to the liberal group (-0.8 cm H2O [95% CI, -5.8 to 4.3]) during the application of 5 cm H2O positive end-expiratory pressure (P = 0.016) and during the application of 10 cm H2O positive end-expiratory pressure (-10.3 cm H2O [95% CI, -15.2 to -5.4] vs. -2.8 cm H2O [95% CI, -8.0 to 2.3]; P = 0.041). In addition, diaphragmatic microvessel density was decreased in the restrictive group compared to the liberal group (34.0 crossings [25th to 75th percentile, 22.0 to 42.0] vs. 46.0 [25th to 75th percentile, 43.5 to 54.0]; P = 0.015). The application of positive end-expiratory pressure itself decreased the diaphragmatic force generation in a dose-related way; increasing positive end-expiratory pressure from 5 to 20 cm H2O reduced transdiaphragmatic pressures with 27.3% (17.3 cm H2O [95% CI, 14.0 to 20.5] at positive end-expiratory pressure 5 cm H2O vs. 12.6 cm H2O [95% CI, 9.2 to 15.9] at positive end-expiratory pressure 20 cm H2O; P < 0.0001). The diaphragmatic histology, markers for inflammation, and oxidative stress were similar between the groups. CONCLUSIONS Early fluid restriction decreases the force-generating capacity of the diaphragm and diaphragmatic microcirculation in the acute phase of pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome. In addition, the application of positive end-expiratory pressure decreases the force-generating capacity of the diaphragm in a dose-related way. These observations provide new insights into the mechanisms of critical illness-associated diaphragm weakness. EDITOR’S PERSPECTIVE

Glibenclamide Alleviates LPS-Induced Acute Lung Injury through NLRP3 Inflammasome Signaling Pathway. Mediators Inflamm 2022; 2022:8457010.

Abstract
Glibenclamide displays an anti-inflammatory response in various pulmonary diseases, but its exact role in lipopolysaccharide- (LPS-) induced acute lung injury (ALI) or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains unknown. Herein, we aimed to explore the effect of glibenclamide in vivo and in vitro on the development of LPS-induced ALI in a mouse model. LPS stimulation resulted in increases in lung injury score, wet/dry ratio, and capillary permeability in lungs, as well as in total protein concentration, inflammatory cells, and inflammatory cytokines including IL-1β, IL-18 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and lung tissues, whereas glibenclamide treatment reduced these changes. Meanwhile, the increased proteins of NLRP3 and Caspase-1/p20 after LPS instillation in lungs were downregulated by glibenclamide. Similarly, in vitro experiments also found that glibenclamide administration inhibited the LPS-induced upregulations in cytokine secretions of IL-1β and IL-18, as well as in the expression of components in NLRP3 inflammasome in mouse peritoneal macrophages. Of note, glibenclamide had no effect on the secretion of TNF-α in vivo nor in vitro, implicating that its anti-inflammatory effect is relatively specific to NLRP3 inflammasome. In conclusion, glibenclamide alleviates the development of LPS-induced ALI in a mouse model via inhibiting the NLRP3/Caspase-1/IL-1β signaling pathway, which might provide a new strategy for the treatment of LPS-induced ALI.

Abstract
Background Acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are clinically severe respiratory disorders, and there are currently no Food and Drug Administration-approved drug therapies. It is of great interest to us that dimethyl fumarate (DMF) has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects. The aim of this study was to investigate whether DMF could alleviate lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced ALI, and to explore its mechanism of action. Materials and methods We established a mice model of ALI with intratracheal instillation of LPS and intraperitoneal injection of DMF to treat ALI. The pathological damage and inflammatory response of lung tissues were observed by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, ELISA assay and western blot. ATP plus LPS was used for the establishment of ALI in vitro model, the therapeutic effects of DMF was explored by ELISA assay, RT-qPCR, western blot, and flow cytometry, and the therapeutic mechanisms of DMF was explored by administration of Brusatol (BT), a nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) inhibitor. Results We found that intraperitoneal injection of DMF significantly reduced LPS-induced the pulmonary injury, pulmonary edema, and infiltration of inflammatory mediators. In LPS-induced ALI, NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis was markedly activated, followed by cleavage of caspase-1 and GSDMD. DMF inhibited the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and pyroptosis in both lung of ALI mice and ATP plus LPS-induced BEAS-2B cells. Mechanistically, DMF enhanced expressions of Nrf2, leading to inactivation of NLRP3 inflammasome and reduced pyroptosis in vivo and in vitro. Conversely, BT reduced the inhibitory effects of DMF on NLRP3 inflammasome and pyroptosis, and consequently blocked the improvement roles of DMF on ALI. Conclusions DMF could improve LPS-induced ALI via inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome and pyroptosis, and that these effects were mediated by triggering Nrf2 expression, suggesting a therapeutic potential of DMF as an anti-inflammatory agent for ALI/ARDS treatment.

Abstract
The lung, as the primary organ for gas exchange in mammals, is the main target organ for many pathogens and allergens, which may cause acute lung injury. A certain proportion of acute lung injury may progress into irreversible pulmonary fibrosis. Both acute lung injury and pulmonary fibrosis have high mortality rates and few effective treatments. Cabozantinib is a multi-target small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor and has been approved for the treatment of multiple malignant solid tumors. In this study, we explored the role of cabozantinib in acute lung injury and pulmonary fibrosis in vivo and in vitro. In the lipopolysaccharide and bleomycin induced mouse lung injury models, cabozantinib significantly improved the pathological state and reduced the infiltration of inflammatory cells in the lung tissues. In the bleomycin induced pulmonary fibrosis model, cabozantinib significantly reduced the area of pulmonary fibrosis and improved lung function in mice. The results of in vitro studies showed that cabozantinib could inhibit the inflammatory response and apoptosis of alveolar epithelial cells by inhibiting the activation of TLR4/NF-κB and NLRP3 inflammasome pathways. At the same time, cabozantinib could inhibit the activation of lung fibroblasts through suppressing the TGF-β1/Smad pathway, and promote the apoptosis of fibroblasts. In summary, cabozantinib could alleviate lung injury through regulating the TLR4 /NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammasome pathway, and alleviate pulmonary fibrosis by inhibiting the TGF-β1/Smad3 signaling pathway.

Abstract
The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) describes a heterogenous population of patients with acute severe respiratory failure. However, contemporary advances have begun to identify distinct sub-phenotypes that exist within its broader envelope. These sub-phenotypes have varied outcomes and respond differently to several previously studied interventions. A more precise understanding of their pathobiology and an ability to prospectively identify them, may allow for the development of precision therapies in ARDS. Historically, animal models have played a key role in translational research, although few studies have so far assessed either the ability of animal models to replicate these sub-phenotypes or investigated the presence of sub-phenotypes within animal models. Here, in three ovine models of ARDS, using combinations of oleic acid and intravenous, or intratracheal lipopolysaccharide, we investigated the presence of sub-phenotypes which qualitatively resemble those found in clinical cohorts. Principal Component Analysis and partitional clustering identified two clusters, differentiated by markers of shock, inflammation, and lung injury. This study provides a first exploration of ARDS phenotypes in preclinical models and suggests a methodology for investigating this phenomenon in future studies.

Pharmaceutics 2021; 13:1347. [PMID: 34575422 PMCID: PMC8471313 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics13091347] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2021] [Revised: 08/25/2021] [Accepted: 08/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a catastrophic illness of multifactorial etiology, involves a rapid upsurge in inflammatory cytokines that leads to hypoxemic respiratory failure. Dexamethasone, a synthetic corticosteroid, mitigates the glucocorticoid-receptor-mediated inflammation and accelerates tissue homeostasis towards disease resolution. To minimize non-target organ side effects arising from frequent and chronic use of dexamethasone, we designed biodegradable, lung-targeted microspheres with sustained release profiles. Dexamethasone-loaded lipopolymeric microspheres of PLGA (Poly Lactic-co-Glycolic Acid) and DPPC (Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine) stabilized with vitamin E TPGS (D-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate) were prepared by a single emulsion technique that had a mean diameter of 8.83 ± 0.32 μm and were spherical in shape as revealed from electron microscopy imaging. Pharmacokinetic and biodistribution patterns studied in the lungs, liver, and spleen of Wistar rats showed high selectivity and targeting efficiency for the lung tissue (re 13.98). As a proof-of-concept, in vivo efficacy of the microspheres was tested in the lipopolysaccharide-induced ARDS model in rats. Inflammation markers such as IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α, quantified in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid indicated major improvement in rats treated with dexamethasone microspheres by intravenous route. Additionally, the microspheres substantially inhibited the protein infiltration, neutrophil accumulation and lipid peroxidation in the lungs of ARDS bearing rats, suggesting a reduction in oxidative stress. Histopathology showed decreased damage to the pulmonary tissue upon treatment with the dexamethasone-loaded microspheres. The multipronged formulation technology approach can thus serve as a potential treatment modality for reducing lung inflammation in ARDS. An improved therapeutic profile would help to reduce the dose, dosing frequency and, eventually, the toxicity.

Effects of Lung Injury on Regional Aeration and Expiratory Time Constants: Insights From Four-Dimensional Computed Tomography Image Registration. Front Physiol 2021; 12:707119. [PMID: 34393824 PMCID: PMC8355819 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2021.707119] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2021] [Accepted: 06/30/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Rationale: Intratidal changes in regional lung aeration, as assessed with dynamic four-dimensional computed tomography (CT; 4DCT), may indicate the processes of recruitment and derecruitment, thus portending atelectrauma during mechanical ventilation. In this study, we characterized the time constants associated with deaeration during the expiratory phase of pressure-controlled ventilation in pigs before and after acute lung injury using respiratory-gated 4DCT and image registration. Methods: Eleven pigs were mechanically ventilated in pressure-controlled mode under baseline conditions and following an oleic acid model of acute lung injury. Dynamic 4DCT scans were acquired without interrupting ventilation. Automated segmentation of lung parenchyma was obtained by a convolutional neural network. Respiratory structures were aligned using 4D image registration. Exponential regression was performed on the time-varying CT density in each aligned voxel during exhalation, resulting in regional estimates of intratidal aeration change and deaeration time constants. Regressions were also performed for regional and total exhaled gas volume changes. Results: Normally and poorly aerated lung regions demonstrated the largest median intratidal aeration changes during exhalation, compared to minimal changes within hyper- and non-aerated regions. Following lung injury, median time constants throughout normally aerated regions within each subject were greater than respective values for poorly aerated regions. However, parametric response mapping revealed an association between larger intratidal aeration changes and slower time constants. Lower aeration and faster time constants were observed for the dependent lung regions in the supine position. Regional gas volume changes exhibited faster time constants compared to regional density time constants, as well as better correspondence to total exhaled volume time constants. Conclusion: Mechanical time constants based on exhaled gas volume underestimate regional aeration time constants. After lung injury, poorly aerated regions experience larger intratidal changes in aeration over shorter time scales compared to normally aerated regions. However, the largest intratidal aeration changes occur over the longest time scales within poorly aerated regions. These dynamic 4DCT imaging data provide supporting evidence for the susceptibility of poorly aerated regions to ventilator-induced lung injury, and for the functional benefits of short exhalation times during mechanical ventilation of injured lungs.

Measurement of Electrical Impedance Tomography-Based Regional Ventilation Delay for Individualized Titration of End-Expiratory Pressure. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10132933. [PMID: 34208890 PMCID: PMC8267627 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10132933] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2021] [Revised: 06/24/2021] [Accepted: 06/28/2021] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
RATIONALE Individualized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration might be beneficial in preventing tidal recruitment. To detect tidal recruitment by electrical impedance tomography (EIT), the time disparity between the regional ventilation curves (regional ventilation delay inhomogeneity [RVDI]) can be measured during controlled mechanical ventilation when applying a slow inflation of 12 mL/kg of body weight (BW). However, repeated large slow inflations may result in high end-inspiratory pressure (PEI), which might limit the clinical applicability of this method. We hypothesized that PEEP levels that minimize tidal recruitment can also be derived from EIT-based RVDI through the use of reduced slow inflation volumes. METHODS Decremental PEEP trials were performed in 15 lung-injured pigs. The PEEP level that minimized tidal recruitment was estimated from EIT-based RVDI measurement during slow inflations of 12, 9, 7.5, or 6 mL/kg BW. We compared RVDI and PEI values resulting from different slow inflation volumes and estimated individualized PEEP levels. RESULTS RVDI values from slow inflations of 12 and 9 mL/kg BW showed excellent linear correlation (R2 = 0.87, p < 0.001). Correlations decreased for RVDI values from inflations of 7.5 (R2 = 0.68, p < 0.001) and 6 (R2 = 0.42, p < 0.001) mL/kg BW. Individualized PEEP levels estimated from 12 and 9 mL/kg BW were comparable (bias -0.3 cm H2O ± 1.2 cm H2O). Bias and scatter increased with further reduction in slow inflation volumes (for 7.5 mL/kg BW, bias 0 ± 3.2 cm H2O; for 6 mL/kg BW, bias 1.2 ± 4.0 cm H2O). PEI resulting from 9 mL/kg BW inflations were comparable with PEI during regular tidal volumes. CONCLUSIONS PEEP titration to minimize tidal recruitment can be individualized according to EIT-based measurement of the time disparity of regional ventilation courses during slow inflations with low inflation volumes. This sufficiently decreases PEI and may reduce potential clinical risks.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis and septic shock still represent great challenges in critical care medicine. Sildenafil has been largely used in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension, but its effects in sepsis are unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the hypothesis that sildenafil can attenuate endotoxin-induced pulmonary hypertension in a porcine model of endotoxemia. METHODS Twenty pigs were randomly assigned to Control group (n = 10), which received saline solution; or to Sildenafil group (n = 10), which received sildenafil orally (100 mg). After 30 minutes, both groups were submitted to endotoxemia with intravenous bacterial lipopolysaccharide endotoxin (LPS) infusion (4 µg.kg-1.h-1) for 180 minutes. We evaluated hemodynamic and oxygenation functions, and also lung histology and plasma cytokine (TNFα, IL-1β, IL6, and IL10) and troponin I response. RESULTS Significant hemodynamic alterations were observed after 30 minutes of LPS continuous infusion, mainly in pulmonary arterial pressure (from Baseline 19 ± 2 mmHg to LPS30 52 ± 4 mmHg, p < 0.05). There was also a significant decrease in PaO2/FiO2 (from Baseline 411 ± 29 to LPS180 334 ± 49, p < 0.05). Pulmonary arterial pressure was significantly lower in the Sildenafil group (35 ± 4 mmHg at LPS30, p < 0.05). The Sildenafil group also presented lower values of systemic arterial pressure. Sildenafil maintained oxygenation with higher PaO2/FiO2 and lower oxygen extraction rate than Control group but had no effect on intrapulmonary shunt. All cytokines and troponin increased after LPS infusion in both groups similarly. CONCLUSION Sildenafil attenuated endotoxin-induced pulmonary hypertension preserving the correct heart function without improving lung lesions or inflammation.

Abstract
Intravenous fluids are widely used to treat circulatory deterioration in pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS). However, the accumulation of fluids in the first days of PARDS is associated with adverse outcome. As such, early fluid restriction may prove beneficial, yet the effects of such a fluid strategy on the cardiopulmonary physiology in PARDS are unclear. In this study, we compared the effect of a restrictive with a liberal fluid strategy on a hemodynamic response and the formation of pulmonary edema in an animal model of PARDS. Sixteen mechanically ventilated lambs (2-6 wk) received oleic acid infusion to induce PARDS and were randomized to a restrictive or liberal fluid strategy during a 6-h period of mechanical ventilation. Transpulmonary thermodilution determined extravascular lung water (EVLW) and cardiac output (CO). Postmortem lung wet-to-dry weight ratios were obtained by gravimetry. Restricting fluids significantly reduced fluid intake but increased the use of vasopressors among animals with PARDS. Arterial blood pressure was similar between groups, yet CO declined significantly in animals receiving restrictive fluids (P = 0.005). There was no difference in EVLW over time (P = 0.111) and lung wet-to-dry weight ratio [6.1, interquartile range (IQR) = 6.0-7.3 vs. 7.1, IQR = 6.6-9.4, restrictive vs. liberal, P = 0.725] between fluid strategies. Both fluid strategies stabilized blood pressure in this model, yet early fluid restriction abated CO. Early fluid restriction did not limit the formation of pulmonary edema; therefore, this study suggests that in the early phase of PARDS, a restrictive fluid strategy is not beneficial in terms of immediate cardiopulmonary effects.

Abstract
Sepsis is the leading cause of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in adults and carries a high mortality. Utilizing a previously validated porcine model of sepsis-induced ARDS, we sought to refine our novel therapeutic technique of in vivo lung perfusion (IVLP). We hypothesized that 2 hours of IVLP would provide non-inferior lung rehabilitation compared to 4 hours of treatment. Adult swine (n = 8) received lipopolysaccharide to develop ARDS and were placed on central venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Animals were randomized to 2 vs 4 hours of IVLP. The left pulmonary vessels were cannulated to IVLP using antegrade Steen solution. After IVLP treatment, the left lung was decannulated and reperfused for 4 hours. Total lung compliance and pulmonary venous gases from the right lung (control) and left lung (treatment) were sampled hourly. Biochemical analysis of tissue and bronchioalveolar lavage was performed along with tissue histologic assessment. Throughout IVLP and reperfusion, treated left lung PaO2/FiO2 ratio was significantly higher than the right lung control in the 2-hour group (332.2 ± 58.9 vs 264.4 ± 46.5, P = 0.01). In the 4-hour group, there was no difference between treatment and control lung PaO2/FiO2 ratio (258.5 ± 72.4 vs 253.2 ± 90.3, P = 0.58). Wet-to-dry weight ratios demonstrated reduced edema in the treated left lungs of the 2-hour group (6.23 ± 0.73 vs 7.28 ± 0.61, P = 0.03). Total lung compliance was also significantly improved in the 2-hour group. Two hours of IVLP demonstrated superior lung function in this preclinical model of sepsis-induced ARDS. Clinical translation of IVLP may shorten duration of mechanical support and improve outcomes.

Abstract
Purpose Early diagnosis of sepsis-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is critical for effective treatment. We aimed to identify early stage biomarkers. Materials and Methods Differentially expressed genes were identified in whole blood samples from patients with sepsis or ARDS based on the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets GSE32707, GSE54514 and GSE10361. Functional enrichment analysis explored the biological characteristics of differentially expressed genes. Genes with high functional connectivity based on a protein-protein interaction network were marked as hub genes, which were validated using the GEO dataset GSE76293, and a gene set variation analysis index (GSVA) was assigned. Diagnostic and predictive ability of the hub genes were assessed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. DNA methylation levels of hub genes were quantified using the GEO dataset GSE67530. Results Forty-one differentially expressed genes were shared between sepsis-specific and ARDS-specific datasets. MAP2K2 and IRF7 functional activity was highly connected in sepsis-induced ARDS. Hub genes included RETN, MVP, DEFA4, CTSG, AZU1, FMNL1, RBBP7, POLD4, RIN3, IRF7. ROC curve analysis of the hub gene GSVA index showed good diagnostic ability in sepsis or ARDS. Among genes related to sepsis-induced ARDS, 17 were differentially methylated. Principal component analysis and heatmaps indicated that gene methylation patterns differed significantly between ARDS patients and controls. Conclusion We identified a genetic profile specific to early-stage sepsis-induced ARDS. The abnormal expression of these genes may be caused by hypomethylation, which may serve as a biomarker for early diagnosis of ARDS.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI), a common respiratory distress syndrome in the intensive care unit (ICU), is mainly caused by severe infection and shock. Epithelial and capillary endothelial cell injury, interstitial edema and inflammatory cell infiltration are the main pathological changes observed in ALI animal models. Maresin conjugates in tissue regeneration (MCTR) are a new family of anti-inflammatory proteins. MCTR3 is a key enhancer of the host response, that promotes tissue regeneration and reduces infection; however, its role and mechanism in ALI are still unclear. The purpose of our research was to assess the protective effects of MCTR3 against ALI and its underlying mechanism. The work in this study was conducted in a murine model and the pulmonary epithelial cell line MLE-12. In vivo, MCTR3 (2 ng/g) was given 2 h after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injection. We found that the treatment of mice with LPS-induced ALI with MCTR3 significantly reduced the cell number and protein levels in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF); decreased the production of inflammatory cytokines; alleviated oxidative stress and cell apoptosis, consequently decreased lung injury; and restored pulmonary function. These protective effects of MCTR3 were dependent on down-regulation of the PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1) pathway. Additionally, in MLE-12 cells stimulated with LPS, MCTR3 inhibited cell death, inflammatory cytokine levels and oxidative stress via the ALX/PINK1 signaling pathway. Thus, we conclude that MCTR3 protected against LPS-induced ALI partly through inactivation of the ALX/PINK1 mediated mitophagy pathway.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a chronic and progressive lung disease with poor prognosis, presents with acute exacerbation. Pathophysiology and treatments for this acute exacerbation, and an appropriate animal model to perform such examinations, have not established yet. We presented a rat model for assessing acute exacerbation in cases of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Wistar rats were intratracheally administered bleomycin (3 mg/kg) to induce pulmonary fibrosis. After 7 days, lipopolysaccharide (0, 0.05, or 0.15 mg/kg) was administered. In the bleomycin or lipopolysaccharide group, there were almost no change in the oxygen partial pressure, arterial blood gas (PaO2), plasma nitrite/nitrate, nitric oxide synthase, and lung nitrotyrosine levels. In the bleomycin (+)/lipopolysaccharide (+) groups, these three indicators deteriorated significantly. The plasma nitrite/nitrate and PaO2 levels were significantly correlated in the bleomycin (+) groups (r = 0.758). Although lung fibrosis was not different with or without lipopolysaccharide in the bleomycin (+) groups, macrophage infiltration was marked in the bleomycin (+)/lipopolysaccharide (+) group. There were many NOS2-positive macrophages, and the PaO2 levels decrease may be induced by the nitric oxide production of macrophages in the lung. This model may mimic the pathophysiological changes in cases of acute exacerbation during idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in humans.

Abstract
Acute damage to the lung may originate from various direct and indirect reasons. Direct lung injury may be caused by pneumonia, near-drowning, aspiration, inhalation of toxic gases etc., while indirect lung injury is secondary, following any severe extra-pulmonary disease, e.g. sepsis, acute pancreatitis, or severe trauma. Due to a complex pathophysiology of the acute lung injury, the treatment is also extremely complicated and except for lung-protective ventilation there have been no specific treatment approaches recommended. An urgent need for a reliable and sufficiently effective treatment forces the researchers into testing novel therapeutic strategies. However, most of these determinations should be done in the laboratory conditions using animals. Complex methods of preparation of various experimental models of the acute lung injury has gradually developed within decades. Nowadays, there have been the models of direct, indirect, or mixed lung injury well established, as well as the models evoked by a combination of two triggering factors. Although the applicability of the results from animal experiments to patients might be limited by many factors, animal models are essential for understanding the patho-physiology of acute lung injury and provide an exceptional opportunity to search for novel therapeutical strategies.

Inflammatory Activity in Atelectatic and Normally Aerated Regions During Early Acute Lung Injury. Acad Radiol 2020; 27:1679-1690. [PMID: 32173290 DOI: 10.1016/j.acra.2019.12.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2019] [Revised: 12/07/2019] [Accepted: 12/14/2019] [Indexed: 11/15/2022]
Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES Pulmonary atelectasis presumably promotes and facilitates lung injury. However, data are limited on its direct and remote relation to inflammation. We aimed to assess regional 2-deoxy-2-[18F]-fluoro-D-glucose (18F-FDG) kinetics representative of inflammation in atelectatic and normally aerated regions in models of early lung injury. MATERIALS AND METHODS We studied supine sheep in four groups: Permissive Atelectasis (n = 6)-16 hours protective tidal volume (VT) and zero positive end-expiratory pressure; Mild (n = 5) and Moderate Endotoxemia (n = 6)- 20-24 hours protective ventilation and intravenous lipopolysaccharide (Mild = 2.5 and Moderate = 10.0 ng/kg/min), and Surfactant Depletion (n = 6)-saline lung lavage and 4 hours high VT. Measurements performed immediately after anesthesia induction served as controls (n = 8). Atelectasis was defined as regions of gas fraction <0.1 in transmission or computed tomography scans. 18F-FDG kinetics measured with positron emission tomography were analyzed with a three-compartment model. RESULTS 18F-FDG net uptake rate in atelectatic tissue was larger during Moderate Endotoxemia (0.0092 ± 0.0019/min) than controls (0.0051 ± 0.0014/min, p = 0.01). 18F-FDG phosphorylation rate in atelectatic tissue was larger in both endotoxemia groups (0.0287 ± 0.0075/min) than controls (0.0198 ± 0.0039/min, p = 0.05) while the 18F-FDG volume of distribution was not significantly different among groups. Additionally, normally aerated regions showed larger 18F-FDG uptake during Permissive Atelectasis (0.0031 ± 0.0005/min, p < 0.01), Mild (0.0028 ± 0.0006/min, p = 0.04), and Moderate Endotoxemia (0.0039 ± 0.0005/min, p < 0.01) than controls (0.0020 ± 0.0003/min). CONCLUSION Atelectatic regions present increased metabolic activation during moderate endotoxemia mostly due to increased 18F-FDG phosphorylation, indicative of increased cellular metabolic activation. Increased 18F-FDG uptake in normally aerated regions during permissive atelectasis suggests an injurious remote effect of atelectasis even with protective tidal volumes.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought concerns to managers, healthcare professionals, and the general population related to the potential mechanical ventilators’ shortage for severely ill patients. In Brazil, there are several initiatives aimed at producing alternative ventilators to cover this gap. To assist the teams that work in these initiatives, we provide a discussion of some basic concepts on physiology and respiratory mechanics, commonly used mechanical ventilation terms, the differences between triggering and cycling, the basic ventilation modes and other relevant aspects, such as mechanisms of ventilator-induced lung injury, respiratory drive, airway heating and humidification, cross-contamination risks, and aerosol dissemination. After the prototype development phase, preclinical bench-tests and animal model trials are needed to determine the safety and performance of the ventilator, following the minimum technical requirements. Next, it is mandatory going through the regulatory procedures as required by the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária - ANVISA). The manufacturing company should be appropriately registered by ANVISA, which also must be notified about the conduction of clinical trials, following the research protocol approval by the Research Ethics Committee. The registration requisition of the ventilator with ANVISA should include a dossier containing the information described in this paper, which is not intended to cover all related matters but to provide guidance on the required procedures.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is associated with high morbidity and mortality, and current management has a dramatic impact on healthcare resource utilization. While our understanding of this disease has improved, the majority of treatment strategies remain supportive in nature and are associated with continued poor outcomes. There is a dramatic need for the development and breakthrough of new methods for the treatment of ARDS. Isolated machine lung perfusion is a promising surgical platform that has been associated with the rehabilitation of injured lungs and the induction of molecular and cellular changes in the lung, including upregulation of anti-inflammatory and regenerative pathways. Initially implemented in an ex vivo fashion to evaluate marginal donor lungs prior to transplantation, recent investigations of isolated lung perfusion have shifted in vivo and are focused on the management of ARDS. This review presents current tenants of ARDS management and isolated lung perfusion, with a focus on how ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) has paved the way for current investigations utilizing in vivo lung perfusion (IVLP) in the treatment of severe ARDS.

Cardiorespiratory Alterations in a Newborn Ovine Model of Systemic Inflammation Induced by Lipopolysaccharide Injection. Front Physiol 2020; 11:585.

Abstract
Although it is well known that neonatal sepsis can induce important alterations in cardiorespiratory control, their detailed early features and the mechanisms involved remain poorly understood. As a first step in resolving this issue, the main goal of this study was to characterize these alterations more extensively by setting up a full-term newborn lamb model of systemic inflammation using lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injection. Two 6-h polysomnographic recordings were performed on two consecutive days on eight full-term lambs: the first after an IV saline injection (control condition, CTRL); the second, after an IV injection of 2.5 μg/kg Escherichia coli LPS 0127:B8 (LPS condition). Rectal temperature, locomotor activity, state of alertness, arterial blood gases, respiratory frequency and heart rate, mean arterial blood pressure, apneas and cardiac decelerations, and heart-rate and respiratory-rate variability (HRV and RRV) were assessed. LPS injection decreased locomotor activity (p = 0.03) and active wakefulness (p = 0.01) compared to the CTRL. In addition, LPS injection led to a biphasic increase in rectal temperature (p = 0.01 at ∼30 and 180 min) and in respiratory frequency and heart rate (p = 0.0005 and 0.005, respectively), and to an increase in cardiac decelerations (p = 0.05). An overall decrease in HRV and RRV was also observed. Interestingly, the novel analysis of the representations of the horizontal and vertical visibility network yielded the most statistically significant alterations in HRV structure, suggesting its potential clinical importance for providing an earlier diagnosis of neonatal bacterial sepsis. A second goal was to assess whether the reflexivity of the autonomic nervous system was altered after LPS injection by studying the cardiorespiratory components of the laryngeal and pulmonary chemoreflexes. No difference was found. Lastly, preliminary results provide proof of principle that brainstem inflammation (increased IL-8 and TNF-α mRNA expression) can be shown 6 h after LPS injection. In conclusion, this full-term lamb model of systemic inflammation reproduces several important aspects of neonatal bacterial sepsis and paves the way for studies in preterm lambs aiming to assess both the effect of prematurity and the central neural mechanisms of cardiorespiratory control alterations observed during neonatal sepsis.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a pulmonary illness with high rates of mortality and morbidity. Rho GTPase and its downstream effector, Rho kinase (ROCK), have been demonstrated to be involved in cell adhesion, motility, and contraction which can play a role in ALI. The electronic databases of Google Scholar, Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science were searched to obtain relevant studies regarding the role of the Rho/ROCK signaling pathway in the pathophysiology of ALI and the effects of specific Rho kinase inhibitors in prevention and treatment of ALI. Upregulation of the RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway causes an increase of inflammation, immune cell migration, apoptosis, coagulation, contraction, and cell adhesion in pulmonary endothelial cells. These effects are involved in endothelium barrier dysfunction and edema, hallmarks of ALI. These effects were significantly reversed by Rho kinase inhibitors. Rho kinase inhibition offers a promising approach in ALI [ARDS] treatment.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) is the most vulnerable organ in sepsis, however, its underlying mechanism remains unclear. Cell viability and apoptosis were detected by cell counting kit-8 and flow cytometry. The expressions of miR-574, Complement 3 (C3), glucose regulatory protein 78 (GRP78), C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) and Caspase-12 were determined using quantitative real time (qRT)-PCR and Western blot. Histopathology of mice was stained by haematoxylin and eosin staining. The levels of tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin (IL)-1β were determined using ELISA. The expression of miR-574 was positively correlated with cell viability in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated cells. Cell viability was improved and apoptosis was inhibited by mimics. Meanwhile, the levels of GRP78, CHOP and Caspase-12 were suppressed by mimics and agomir in LPS-treated human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells and cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-treated mice. In vivo, lung tissue damages were ameliorated by agomir, which also decreased the levels of neutrophils, macrophages and albumin. C3 was a target gene of miR-574 and could be decreased by mimics. SiC3 enhanced cell viability and inhibited apoptosis, however, it suppressed the mRNA levels of GRP78, CHOP and Caspase-12. Up-regulation of miR-574 attenuated sepsis-induced lung injury may be by promoting C3 down-regulation and reducing sepsis-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS). SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY: Clinically, the mortality rate of ALI induced by sepsis remains at a high level, thus, clarifying the mechanism of induction of ALI through pathogen infection will provide a new target for clinical treatment of ALI. In this study, up-regulation of miR-574 attenuated sepsis-induced lung injury may be by promoting C3 down-regulation and reducing sepsis-induced ERS. Our study provides a deeper understanding of sepsis.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common disease entity in critical care medicine and is still associated with a high mortality. Because of the heterogeneous character of ARDS, animal models are an insturment to study pathology in relatively standardized conditions. Rodent models can bridge the gap from in vitro investigations to large animal and clinical trials by facilitating large sample sizes under physiological conditions at comparatively low costs. One of the most commonly used rodent models of acute lung inflammation and ARDS is administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), either into the airways (direct, pulmonary insult) or systemically (indirect, extra-pulmonary insult). This narrative review discusses the dynamics of important pathophysiological pathways contributing to the physiological response to LPS-induced injury. Pathophysiological pathways of LPS-induced lung injury are not only influenced by the type of the primary insult (e.g., pulmonary or extra-pulmonary) and presence of additional stimuli (e.g., mechanical ventilation), but also by time. As such, findings in animal models of LPS-induced lung injury may depend on the time point at which samples are obtained and physiological data are captured. This review summarizes the current evidence and highlights uncertainties on the molecular dynamics of LPS-induced lung injury in rodent models, encouraging researchers to take accurate timing of LPS-induced injury into account when designing experimental trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Animal trials contribute to major achievements in medical science. The so-called lavage model is frequently used to evaluate ventilation strategies in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) using electrical impedance tomography (EIT). But, the lavage model itself might have systematic impacts on EIT parameters. Therefore, we established an additional experimental model, in which ARDS is caused by intravenously administered lipopolysaccharide (LPS). In this study, we want to examine if EIT measurements provide consistent results in both experimental models or whether the pathophysiology of the model influences the findings. Overall, we want to compare both experimental models regarding clinical parameters and EIT-derived indices, namely the global inhomogeneity (GI) index and the regional ventilation delay (RVD) index. METHODS Nineteen pigs were included in this study, allocated to the control group (CO; n = 5), lavage group (LAV; n = 7) and LPS group (LPS; n = 7). After baseline measurements and the establishment of ARDS, assessment of respiratory mechanics, hemodynamics, gas exchange and EIT recordings were performed hourly over eight hours. RESULTS In both experimental ARDS models, EIT measurements provided reliable results. But, the GI and the RVD index did not show consistent results as compared to the CO group. Initially, GI and RVD index were higher in the LAV group but not in the LPS group as compared to the CO group. This effect disappeared during the study. Furthermore, the GI index and the RVD index were higher in the LAV group compared to the LPS group in the beginning as well. This, once again, disappeared. Clinical lung injury parameters remained more stable when using LPS. CONCLUSION The two models showed quite different influences on the GI and RVD index. This implies, that the underlying pathophysiology affects EIT parameters and thus the findings. Hence, translation to EIT-guided clinical therapy in humans suffering from ARDS might be limited.

Abstract
Chlorine gas is one of the highly produced chemicals in the USA and around the world. Chlorine gas has several uses in water purification, sanitation, and industrial applications; however, it is a toxic inhalation hazard agent. Inhalation of chlorine gas, based on the concentration and duration of the exposure, causes a spectrum of symptoms, including but not limited to lacrimation, rhinorrhea, bronchospasm, cough, dyspnea, acute lung injury, death, and survivors develop signs of pulmonary fibrosis and reactive airway disease. Despite the use of chlorine gas as a chemical warfare agent since World War I and its known potential as an industrial hazard, there is no specific antidote. The resurgence of the use of chlorine gas as a chemical warfare agent in recent years has brought speculation of its use as weapons of mass destruction. Therefore, developing antidotes for chlorine gas-induced lung injuries remains the need of the hour. While some of the pre-clinical studies have made substantial progress in the understanding of chlorine gas-induced pulmonary pathophysiology and identifying potential medical countermeasure(s), yet none of the drug candidates are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In this review, we summarized pathophysiology of chlorine gas-induced pulmonary injuries, pre-clinical animal models, development of a pipeline of potential medical countermeasures under FDA animal rule, and future directions for the development of antidotes for chlorine gas-induced lung injuries.

Abstract
Avoiding tidal recruitment and collapse during mechanical ventilation should reduce the risk of lung injury. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) enables detection of tidal recruitment by measuring regional ventilation delay inhomogeneity (RVDI) during a slow inflation breath with a tidal volume (VT) of 12 mL/kg body weight (BW). Clinical applicability might be limited by such high VTs resulting in high end-inspiratory pressures (PEI) during positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration. We hypothesized that RVDI can be obtained with acceptable accuracy from reduced slow inflation VTs. In seven ventilated pigs with experimental lung injury, tidal recruitment was quantified by computed tomography at PEEP levels changed stepwise between 0 and 25 cmH2O. RVDI was measured by EIT during slow inflation VTs of 12, 9, 7.5, and 6 mL/kg BW. Linear correlation of tidal recruitment and RVDI was excellent for VTs of 12 (R2 = 0.83, p < 0.001) and 9 mL/kg BW (R2 = 0.83, p < 0.001) but decreased for VTs of 7.5 (R2 = 0.76, p < 0.001) and 6 mL/kg BW (R2 = 0.71, p < 0.001). With any reduction in slow inflation VT, PEI decreased at all PEEP levels. Receiver-Operator-Characteristic curve analyses revealed that RVDI-thresholds to predict distinct amounts of tidal recruitment differ when obtained from different slow inflation VTs. In conclusion, tidal recruitment can sufficiently be monitored by EIT-based RVDI-calculation with a slow inflation of 9 mL/kg BW.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the effects that prone and supine positioning during high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) have on oxygenation and lung inflammation, histological injury, and oxidative stress in a rabbit model of acute lung injury (ALI). METHODS Thirty male Norfolk white rabbits were induced to ALI by tracheal saline lavage (30 mL/kg, 38°C). The injury was induced during conventional mechanical ventilation, and ALI was considered confirmed when a PaO2/FiO2 ratio < 100 mmHg was reached. Rabbits were randomly divided into two groups: HFOV in the supine position (SP group, n = 15); and HFOV with prone positioning (PP group, n = 15). For HFOV, the mean airway pressure was initially set at 16 cmH2O. At 30, 60, and 90 min after the start of the HFOV protocol, the mean airway pressure was reduced to 14, 12, and 10 cmH2O, respectively. At 120 min, the animals were returned to or remained in the supine position for an extra 30 min. We evaluated oxygenation indices and histological lung injury scores, as well as TNF-α levels in BAL fluid and lung tissue. RESULTS After ALI induction, all of the animals showed significant hypoxemia, decreased respiratory system compliance, decreased oxygenation, and increased mean airway pressure in comparison with the baseline values. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups, at any of the time points evaluated, in terms of the PaO2 or oxygenation index. However, TNF-α levels in BAL fluid were significantly lower in the PP group than in the SP group, as were histological lung injury scores. CONCLUSIONS Prone positioning appears to attenuate inflammatory and histological lung injury during HFOV in rabbits with ALI.

Abstract
Interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18 play central and detrimental roles in the development of acute lung injury (ALI), and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is involved in regulating IL-1β and IL-18 production. However, it is not clear whether the mTOR specific inhibitor rapamycin can attenuate lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI by modulating IL-1β and IL-18 production. In this study, we found that rapamycin ameliorated LPS-induced ALI by inhibiting NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome-mediated IL-1β and IL-18 secretion. Mechanistically, elevated autophagy and decreased nuclear factor (NF)-κB activation were associated with downregulated IL-1β and IL-18. Moreover, rapamycin reduced leukocyte infiltration in the lung tissue and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and contributed to the alleviation of LPS-induced ALI. Consistently, rapamycin also significantly inhibited IL-1β and IL-18 production by RAW264.7 cells via increased autophagy and decreased NF-κB signaling in vitro. Our results demonstrated that rapamycin protects mice against LPS-induced ALI partly by inhibiting the production and secretion of IL-1β and IL-18. mTOR and rapamycin might represent an appropriate therapeutic target and strategy for preventing ALI induced by LPS.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a type of acute lung injury (ALI), which causes high morbidity and mortality. So far, effective clinical treatment of ARDS is still limited. Recently, miR-146b has been reported to play a key role in inflammation. In the present study, we evaluated the functional role of miR-146b in ARDS using the murine model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI. The miR-146b expression could be induced by LPS stimulation, and miR-146b overexpression was required in the maintenance of body weight and survival of ALI mice; after miR-146b overexpression, LPS-induced lung injury, pulmonary inflammation, total cell and neutrophil counts, proinflammatory cytokines, and chemokines in bronchial alveolar lavage (BAL) fluid were significantly reduced. The promotive effect of LPS on lung permeability through increasing total protein, albumin and IgM in BAL fluid could be partially reversed by miR-146b overexpression. Moreover, in murine alveolar macrophages, miR-146b overexpression reduced LPS-induced TNF-α and interleukin (IL)-1β releasing. Taken together, we demonstrated that miR-146b overexpression could effectively improve the LPS-induced ALI; miR-146b is a promising target in ARDS treatment.

Abstract
The acute respiratory distress syndrome is a relevant intensive care disease with an incidence ranging between 2.2% and 19% of intensive care unit patients. Despite treatment advances over the last decades, ARDS patients still suffer mortality rates between 35 and 40%. There is still a need for further research to improve the outcome of patients suffering from ARDS. One problem is that no single animal model can mimic the complex pathomechanism of the acute respiratory distress syndrome, but several models exist to study different parts of it. Oleic acid injection (OAI)-induced lung injury is a well-established model for studying ventilation strategies, lung mechanics and ventilation/perfusion distribution in animals. OAI leads to severely impaired gas exchange, deterioration of lung mechanics and disruption of the alveolo-capillary barrier. The disadvantage of this model is the controversial mechanistic relevance of this model and the necessity for central venous access, which is challenging especially in smaller animal models. In summary, OAI-induced lung injury leads to reproducible results in small and large animals and hence represents a well-suited model for studying ARDS. Nevertheless, further research is necessary to find a model that mimics all parts of ARDS and lacks the problems associated with the different models existing today.

Abstract
Sodium butyrate (SB) is a short chain 4-carbon fatty acid salt naturally exists in animal fats. Previous studies have proven that sodium butyrate has many beneficial functions such as anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory actions. In the current study we investigated the effect and possible mechanism of sodium butyrate in LPS-induced acute lung injury (ALI). ALI was induced by intratracheal administration of LPS (10 mg/kg) in male BALB/c mice. Sodium butyrate (500 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally 30 min prior to LPS exposure. We found that sodium butyrate significantly protected animals from LPS-induced ALI as evidenced by decreased the lung wet to dry weight ratio, total cells, neutrophils, macrophages, myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, and lung histological damage compared to vehicle control. Sodium butyrate pretreatment markedly inhibited the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). Furthermore, sodium butyrate pretreatment dramatically suppressed HMGB1 release and NF-κ B activation. Together, these results suggest that sodium butyrate pretreatment protects mice from LPS-induced acute lung injury, possibly through the modulation of HMGB1 and inflammatory responses.

Abstract
Cellular bioenergetic failure caused by mitochondrial dysfunction is a key process of alveolar epithelial injury during acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Prolyl hydroxylases (PHDs) act as cellular oxygen sensors, and their inhibition activates hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), resulting in enhanced cellular glycolytic activity, which could compensate for impaired mitochondrial function and protect alveolar epithelial cells from ARDS. Here, we evaluated the effects of pharmacological PHD inhibition with dimethyloxalylglycine (DMOG) on alveolar epithelial cell injury using in vitro and in vivo ARDS models. We established an in vitro model of alveolar epithelial injury mimicking ARDS by adding isolated neutrophils and LPS to cultured MLE12 alveolar epithelial cells. DMOG treatment protected MLE12 cells from neutrophil-LPS-induced ATP decline and cell death. Knockdown of HIF-1α or inhibition of glycolysis abolished the protective effect of DMOG, suggesting that it was exerted by HIF-1-dependent enhancement of glycolysis. Additionally, intratracheal DMOG administration to mice protected the alveolar epithelial barrier and improved arterial oxygenation, preventing ATP decline during LPS-induced lung injury. In summary, enhancement of glycolysis by PHD inhibition is a potential therapeutic approach for ARDS, protecting alveolar epithelial cells from bioenergetic failure and cell death.- Tojo, K., Tamada, N., Nagamine, Y., Yazawa, T., Ota, S., Goto, T.

Atelectasis is inversely proportional to transpulmonary pressure during weaning from ventilator support in a large animal model. Acta Anaesthesiol Scand 2018; 62:94-104.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In mechanically ventilated, lung injured, patients without spontaneous breathing effort, atelectasis with shunt and desaturation may appear suddenly when ventilator pressures are decreased. It is not known how such a formation of atelectasis is related to transpulmonary pressure (PL ) during weaning from mechanical ventilation when the spontaneous breathing effort is increased. If the relation between PL and atelectasis were known, monitoring of PL might help to avoid formation of atelectasis and cyclic collapse during weaning. The main purpose of this study was to determine the relation between PL and atelectasis in an experimental model representing weaning from mechanical ventilation. METHODS Dynamic transverse computed tomography scans were acquired in ten anaesthetized, surfactant-depleted pigs with preserved spontaneous breathing, as ventilator support was lowered by sequentially reducing inspiratory pressure and positive end expiratory pressure in steps. The volumes of gas and atelectasis in the lungs were correlated with PL obtained using oesophageal pressure recordings. Work of breathing (WOB) was assessed from Campbell diagrams. RESULTS Gradual decrease in PL in both end-expiration and end-inspiration caused a proportional increase in atelectasis and decrease in the gas content (linear mixed model with an autoregressive correlation matrix; P < 0.001) as the WOB increased. However, cyclic alveolar collapse during tidal ventilation did not increase significantly. CONCLUSION We found a proportional correlation between atelectasis and PL during the 'weaning process' in experimental mild lung injury. If confirmed in the clinical setting, a gradual tapering of ventilator support can be recommended for weaning without risk of sudden formation of atelectasis.

Abstract
Asthma, acute lung injury (ALI), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are lung inflammatory disorders with a common outcome, that is, difficulty in breathing. Corticosteroids, a class of potent anti-inflammatory drugs, have shown less success in the treatment/management of these disorders, particularly ALI and COPD; thus, alternative therapies are needed. Poly(ADP-ribose)polymerases (PARPs) are the post-translational modifying enzymes with a primary role in DNA repair. During the last two decades, several studies have reported the critical role played by PARPs in a good of inflammatory disorders. In the current review, the studies that address the role of PARPs in asthma, ALI, and COPD have been discussed. Among the different members of the family, PARP-1 emerges as a key player in the orchestration of lung inflammation in asthma and ALI. In addition, PARP activation seems to be associated with the progression of COPD. Furthermore, PARP-14 seems to play a crucial role in asthma. STAT-6 and GATA-3 are reported to be central players in PARP-1-mediated eosinophilic inflammation in asthma. Interestingly, oxidative stress-PARP-1-NF-κB axis appears to be tightly linked with inflammatory response in all three-lung diseases despite their distinct pathophysiologies. The present review sheds light on PARP-1-regulated factors, which may be common or differential players in asthma/ALI/COPD and put forward our prospective for future studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis is the leading cause of lung injury in adults and can lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Using a novel technique of isolated in vivo lung perfusion (IVLP), we hypothesized that normothermic IVLP will improve oxygenation and compliance in a porcine model of sepsis-induced lung injury. METHODS Mature adult swine (n = 8) were administered lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 50 μg/kg over 2 hours) via the external jugular vein, followed by sternotomy and central extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) cannulation (right atrium to ascending aorta). The left pulmonary artery (inflow) and left superior and inferior pulmonary veins (outflow) were dissected out and cannulated to deliver isolated perfusion to the left lung. After 4 hours of normothermic IVLP with Steen solution, the left lung then underwent 4 hours of reperfusion after IVLP decannulation. Airway pressures and lung-specific pulmonary vein blood gases from the right lung (LPS control) and left lung (LPS + IVLP) of the same animal were compared. RESULTS All animals demonstrated a significant reduction in the ratio of partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO2)/fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) (P/F ratio) and total lung compliance at 2 hours after the start of LPS infusion (mean, 469 ± 19.7 mm Hg vs 222.2 ± 21.4 mm Hg; P < .0001). After reperfusion, 6 animals (75%) exhibited improved lung function, allowing for ECMO decannulation. Lung-specific oxygenation was superior in the left lung after 4 hours of reperfusion (mean, 310.5 ± 54.7 mm Hg vs 201.1 ± 21.7 mm Hg; P = .01). Similarly, total lung compliance improved after IVLP of the left lung. The lung wet weight to dry weight ratio demonstrated reduced edema in rehabilitated left lungs (mean, 6.5 ± 0.3 vs 7.5 ± 0.4; P = .04). CONCLUSIONS IVLP successfully rehabilitated LPS-injured lungs compared to ECMO support alone in this preclinical porcine model.

Abstract
Acute lung injury in the preterm newborns can originate from prematurity of the lung and insufficient synthesis of pulmonary surfactant. This situation is known as respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). In the term neonates, the respiratory insufficiency is related to a secondary inactivation of the pulmonary surfactant, for instance, by action of endotoxins in bacterial pneumonia or by effects of aspirated meconium. The use of experimental models of the mentioned situations provides new information on the pathophysiology of these disorders and offers unique possibility to test novel therapeutic approaches in the conditions which are very similar to the clinical syndromes. Herewith we review the advantages and limitations of the use of experimental models of RDS and meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) and their value for clinics.

Cyclic PaO 2 oscillations assessed in the renal microcirculation: correlation with tidal volume in a porcine model of lung lavage. BMC Anesthesiol 2017; 17:92. [PMID: 28693425 PMCID: PMC5504855 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-017-0382-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2016] [Accepted: 06/30/2017] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Oscillations of the arterial partial pressure of oxygen induced by varying shunt fractions occur during cyclic alveolar recruitment within the injured lung. Recently, these were proposed as a pathomechanism that may be relevant for remote organ injury following acute respiratory distress syndrome. This study examines the transmission of oxygen oscillations to the renal tissue and their tidal volume dependency. Methods Lung injury was induced by repetitive bronchoalveolar lavage in eight anaesthetized pigs. Cyclic alveolar recruitment was provoked by high tidal volume ventilation. Oscillations of the arterial partial pressure of oxygen were measured in real-time in the macrocirculation by multi-frequency phase fluorimetry and in the renal microcirculation by combined white-light spectrometry and laser-Doppler flowmetry during tidal volume down-titration. Results Significant respiratory-dependent oxygen oscillations were detected in the macrocirculation and transmitted to the renal microcirculation in a substantial extent. The amplitudes of these oscillations significantly correlate to the applied tidal volume and are minimized during down-titration. Conclusions In a porcine model oscillations of the arterial partial pressure of oxygen are induced by cyclic alveolar recruitment and transmitted to the renal microcirculation in a tidal volume-dependent fashion. They might play a role in organ crosstalk and remote organ damage following lung injury.

Abstract
Background & objectives: Despite advances in therapy and overall medical care, acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) management remains a problem. Hence the objective of this study was to develop a rat model that mimics human ALI/ARDS. Methods: Four groups of Wistar rats, 48 per group were treated with (i) intratracheal (IT) lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (5 mg/kg) dissolved in normal saline (NS), (ii) intravenous (iv) oleic acid (OA) (250 μl/kg) suspension in bovine serum albumin (BSA), (iii) dual hit: IT LPS (2 mg/kg) dissolved in NS and iv OA (100 μl/kg) and (iv) control group: IT NS and iv BSA. From each group at set periods of time various investigations like chest X-rays, respiratory rate (RR), tidal volume (TV), total cell count, differential cell count, total protein count and cytokine levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), lung wet/dry weight ratio and histopathological examination were done. Results: It was noted that the respiratory rate, and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) levels were significantly higher at 4 h in the dual hit group as compared to LPS, OA and control groups. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels were significantly higher in the dual hit group as compared to LPS at 8 and 24 h, OA at 8 h and control (at all time intervals) group. IL-1β levels were significantly higher in LPS and dual hit groups at all time intervals, but not in OA and control groups. The injury induced in dual hit group was earlier and more sustained as compared to LPS and OA alone. Interpretation & conclusions: The lung pathology and changes in respiration functions produced by the dual hit model were closer to the diagnostic criteria of ALI/ARDS in terms of clinical manifestations and pulmonary injury and the injury persisted longer as compared to LPS and OA single hit model. Therefore, the ARDS model produced by the dual hit method was closer to the diagnostic criteria of ARDS in terms of clinical manifestations and pulmonary injury.
