Abstract
Lung transplant remains the primary therapeutic option for patients with end-stage lung disease, but long-term survival rates remain suboptimal compared with other solid organ transplants. Acute cellular rejection (ACR) is a significant challenge in lung transplant recipients, with T cell-mediated mechanisms playing a major role. IL-10 is known for its immunoregulatory function, although its specific role in lung allograft rejection remains unclear. Using the mouse orthotopic lung transplant model, we investigated the role of IL-10 in regulating alloeffector T cell responses. Unexpectedly, we found that IL-10 was not required for early costimulation blockade-induced allograft acceptance. However, IL-10 deficiency or blockade resulted in increased CD4+ T cell numbers, proliferation, graft infiltration, and alloeffector responses. In the absence of IL-10, CD4+ T cell responses predominated over CD8 responses during ACR in contrast to wild-type mice. Type 1 immunity (IFN-γ) responses along with elevated CD4+NKG7+ and CD4+CD107a+ responses predominated during ACR, highlighting a critical regulatory role for IL-10 in modulating CD4+ T cell alloimmune responses. We further demonstrated increased colocalization of NKG7 and CD107a in CD4+ T cells from IL-10-deficient allografts, suggesting coordination in cytotoxic activity. Together, our findings highlight a critical role for IL-10 in regulation of cytotoxic CD4+NKG7+ T cells, an effector population that needs further investigation to elucidate their role in lung allograft rejection.

Pyruvate Carboxylase Attenuates Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Heart Transplantation via Wnt/β-Catenin-Mediated Glutamine Metabolism. Biomedicines 2024; 12:1826. [PMID: 39200290 PMCID: PMC11351651 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines12081826] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2024] [Revised: 08/02/2024] [Accepted: 08/06/2024] [Indexed: 09/02/2024] Open
Abstract
The ischemia-reperfusion process of a donor heart during heart transplantation leads to severe mitochondrial dysfunction, which may be the main cause of donor heart dysfunction after heart transplantation. Pyruvate carboxylase (PC), an enzyme found in mitochondria, is said to play a role in the control of oxidative stress and the function of mitochondria. This research examined the function of PC and discovered the signaling pathways controlled by PC in myocardial IRI. We induced IRI using a murine heterotopic heart transplantation model in vivo and a hypoxia-reoxygenation cell model in vitro and evaluated inflammatory responses, oxidative stress levels, mitochondrial function, and cardiomyocyte apoptosis. In both in vivo and in vitro settings, we observed a significant decrease in PC expression during myocardial IRI. PC knockdown aggravated IRI by increasing MDA content, LDH activity, TUNEL-positive cells, serum cTnI level, Bax protein expression, and the level of inflammatory cytokines and decreasing SOD activity, GPX activity, and Bcl-2 protein expression. PC overexpression yielded the opposite findings. Additional research indicated that reducing PC levels could block the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and glutamine metabolism by hindering the movement of β-catenin to the nucleus and reducing the activity of complex I and complex II, as well as ATP levels, while elevating the ratios of NADP+/NADPH and GSSG/GSH. Overall, the findings indicated that PC therapy can shield the heart from IRI during heart transplantation by regulating glutamine metabolism through the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

Abstract
The term "chronic lung allograft dysfunction" has emerged to describe the clinical syndrome of progressive, largely irreversible dysfunction of pulmonary allografts. This umbrella term comprises 2 major clinical phenotypes: bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome and restrictive allograft syndrome. Here, we discuss the clinical manifestations, diagnostic challenges, and potential therapeutic avenues to address this major barrier to improved long-term outcomes. In addition, we review the immunologic mechanisms thought to propagate each phenotype of chronic lung allograft dysfunction, discuss the various models used to study this process, describe potential therapeutic targets, and identify key unknowns that must be evaluated by future research strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Concern of ischemia-reperfusion injury reduces utilization of donor lungs. We hypothesized adding L-alanyl-L-glutamine (L-AG) to preservation solution may protect donor lungs from ischemia-reperfusion injury through its multiple cytoprotective effects. METHODS A lung transplantation cell culture model was used on human lung epithelial cells and pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells, and the effects of adding different concentrations of L-AG on basic cellular function were tested. Rat donor lungs were preserved at 4 °C with 8 mmol/L L-AG for 12 h followed by 4 h reperfusion or monitored for 3 d. Lung function, lung histology, inflammation, and cell death biomarker were tested. Computerized tomography scan was used and metabolomic analysis was performed on lung tissues. RESULTS Cold preservation with L-AG improved cell viability and inhibited apoptosis in cell culture. Rat donor lungs treated with L-AG during cold storage showed decreased peak airway pressure, higher dynamic compliance and oxygenation ability, reduced lung injury, apoptosis, and oxidative stress during reperfusion. L-AG treatment significantly changed 130 metabolites during reperfusion, with enhanced amino acid biosynthesis and tricarboxylic acid cycle. Furthermore, cold storage with L-AG decreased primary graft dysfunction grade, improved oxygenation, reduced pulmonary atelectasis, sign of infection, and pneumothorax in a rat left lung transplant 3-d survival model. CONCLUSIONS Adding L-AG to cold preservation solution reduced lung injury and alleviated primary graft dysfunction by inhibiting inflammation, oxidative stress, and cell death with modified metabolic activities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Because of the delicate structure of the adipose tissue, fat necrosis accounts for 43.7% of all complications after autologous fat grafting; however, its regulation remains unclear. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to examine the role of necroptosis in fat graft remodeling after grafting. METHODS Clinical fat graft necrosis samples were collected, and the expression levels of the necroptosis marker phosphorylated(p)-MLKL were analyzed. Transcriptome analysis was performed on fat grafts before and 1 week after transplantation in C57BL/6 mouse fat grafting models. Additionally, the in vivo effects of RIPK1 inhibitor Nec-1s or RIPK3 inhibitor GSK'872 on the fat grafting complications, including fat necrosis and fibrosis, were investigated. RESULTS Necroptosis markers were observed and associated with higher occurrence of fibrosis in clinical fat graft necrosis samples compared to normal fat tissue. Amplification and RNA-Seq were conducted on RNA isolated from fat grafts before and after grafting. MLKL, RIPK1, and RIPK3's expression levels were significantly upregulated in comparison to controls. Higher expression levels of necroptotic RNAs were associated with higher levels of DAMPs, including Cxcl2, HMGB1, S100a8, S100a9, Nlrp3, and IL33, and activated proinflammatory signaling pathways, including the TNF, NF-kappa B, and chemokine signaling pathways. Necroptotic inhibitor Nec-1s and GSK'872 robustly suppressed the p-MLKL expression level and significantly inhibited necroptotic cell death, especially in adipocytes. Moreover, administration of Nec-1s and GSK'872 significantly alleviated fat necrosis and subsequent fibrosis in fat grafts. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, our study findings highlight the potential therapeutic applications of necroptosis inhibitors in preventing fat necrosis and fibrosis after grafting. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4

Abstract
Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is a common complication after lung transplantation. A plethora of contributing factors are known and assessment of donor lung function prior to organ retrieval is mandatory for determination of lung quality. Specialized centers increasingly perform ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) to further assess lung functionality and improve and extend lung preservation with the aim to increase lung utilization. EVLP can be performed following different protocols. The impact of the individual EVLP parameters on PGD development, organ function and postoperative outcome remains to be fully investigated. The variables relate to the engineering and function of the respective perfusion devices, such as the type of pump used, functional, like ventilation modes or physiological (e.g. perfusion solutions). This review reflects on the individual technical and fluid components relevant to EVLP and their respective impact on inflammatory response and outcome. We discuss key components of EVLP protocols and options for further improvement of EVLP in regard to PGD. This review offers an overview of available options for centers establishing an EVLP program and for researchers looking for ways to adapt existing protocols.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung ischemia/reperfusion injury (LIRI) is a common occurrence in clinical practice and represents a significant complication following pulmonary transplantation and various diseases. At the core of pulmonary ischemia/reperfusion injury lies sterile inflammation, where the innate immune response plays a pivotal role. This review aims to investigate recent advancements in comprehending the role of innate immunity in LIRI. METHODS A computer-based online search was performed using the PubMed database and Web of Science database for published articles concerning lung ischemia/reperfusion injury, cell death, damage-associated molecular pattern molecules (DAMPs), innate immune cells, innate immunity, inflammation. RESULTS During the process of lung ischemia/reperfusion, cellular injury even death can occur. When cells are injured or undergo cell death, endogenous ligands known as DAMPs are released. These molecules can be recognized and bound by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), leading to the recruitment and activation of innate immune cells. Subsequently, a cascade of inflammatory responses is triggered, ultimately exacerbating pulmonary injury. These steps are complex and interrelated rather than being in a linear relationship. In recent years, significant progress has been made in understanding the immunological mechanisms of LIRI, involving novel types of cell death, the ability of receptors other than PRRs to recognize DAMPs, and a more detailed mechanism of action of innate immune cells in ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI), laying the groundwork for the development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. CONCLUSIONS Various immune components of the innate immune system play critical roles in lung injury after ischemia/reperfusion. Preventing cell death and the release of DAMPs, interrupting DAMPs receptor interactions, disrupting intracellular inflammatory signaling pathways, and minimizing immune cell recruitment are essential for lung protection in LIRI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are well-recognized for their remarkable ability to suppress ischemia-reperfusion lung injury (IRLI). The primary objective of this investigation was to elucidate the underlying mechanism through which ADSCs exert protective effects against IRLI. METHODS A warm hilar occlusion model in C57BL6J mice was used. Hilar occlusion was achieved for 1 hour (ischemic), and after 1 hour the occlusion was released (reperfusion) to recover for 3 hours. RNA sequencing, the physiological function, pathway activation, and expression of inflammatory cytokines were evaluated. RESULTS Lung gas exchange and pulmonary edema were significantly improved in the IRLI/ADSCs group compared with the IRLI group. RNA sequencing results suggested that the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ)/nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) pathway was involved in the effect of the ADSCs. Administration of a PPARγ antagonist in the IRLI/ADSC group resulted in the deterioration of the physiological function. Furthermore, the PPARγ protein expression level decreased, the NF-κB protein expression level increased, and inflammatory cytokine parameters from lung tissue and blood sample worsened in the PPARγ antagonist-administered group. CONCLUSION Administration of ADSCs exerted a significant protective effect against IRLI in mice, and the effect is attributed to the activation of the PPARγ/NF-κB pathway.

Abstract
Donor shortage is a major problem in lung transplantation (LTx), and the use of lungs from elderly donors is one of the possible solutions in a rapidly aging population. However, the utilization of organs from donors aged >65 years has remained infrequent and may be related to a poor outcome. To investigate the molecular events in grafts from elderly donors early after LTx, the left lungs of young and old mice were subjected to 1 hour of ischemia and subsequent reperfusion. The left lungs were collected at 1 hour, 1 day, and 3 days after reperfusion and subjected to wet-to-dry weight ratio measurement, histological analysis, and molecular biological analysis, including RNA sequencing. The lungs in old mice exhibited more severe and prolonged pulmonary edema than those in young mice after ischemia reperfusion, which was accompanied by upregulation of the genes associated with inflammation and impaired expression of cell cycle-related genes. Apoptotic cells increased and proliferating type 2 alveolar epithelial cells decreased in the lungs of old mice compared with young mice. These factors could become conceptual targets for developing interventions to ameliorate lung ischemia-reperfusion injury after LTx from elderly donors, which may serve to expand the old donor pool.

Abstract
Necroptosis is generally considered as an inflammatory cell death form. The core regulators of necroptotic signaling are receptor-interacting serine-threonine protein kinases 1 (RIPK1) and RIPK3, and the executioner, mixed lineage kinase domain-like pseudokinase (MLKL). Evidence demonstrates that necroptosis contributes profoundly to inflammatory respiratory diseases that are common public health problem. Necroptosis occurs in nearly all pulmonary cell types in the settings of inflammatory respiratory diseases. The influence of necroptosis on cells varies depending upon the type of cells, tissues, organs, etc., which is an important factor to consider. Thus, in this review, we briefly summarize the current state of knowledge regarding the biology of necroptosis, and focus on the key molecular mechanisms that define the necroptosis status of specific cell types in inflammatory respiratory diseases. We also discuss the clinical potential of small molecular inhibitors of necroptosis in treating inflammatory respiratory diseases, and describe the pathological processes that engage cross talk between necroptosis and other cell death pathways in the context of respiratory inflammation. The rapid advancement of single-cell technologies will help understand the key mechanisms underlying cell type-specific necroptosis that are critical to effectively treat pathogenic lung infections and inflammatory respiratory diseases.

Abstract
Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) limits clinical benefit after lung transplantation, a life-prolonging therapy for patients with end-stage disease. PGD is the clinical syndrome resulting from pulmonary ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), driven by innate immune inflammation. We recently demonstrated a key role for NK cells in the airways of mouse models and human tissue samples of IRI. Here, we used 2 mouse models paired with human lung transplant samples to investigate the mechanisms whereby NK cells migrate to the airways to mediate lung injury. We demonstrate that chemokine receptor ligand transcripts and proteins are increased in mouse and human disease. CCR5 ligand transcripts were correlated with NK cell gene signatures independently of NK cell CCR5 ligand secretion. NK cells expressing CCR5 were increased in the lung and airways during IRI and had increased markers of tissue residency and maturation. Allosteric CCR5 drug blockade reduced the migration of NK cells to the site of injury. CCR5 blockade also blunted quantitative measures of experimental IRI. Additionally, in human lung transplant bronchoalveolar lavage samples, we found that CCR5 ligand was associated with increased patient morbidity and that the CCR5 receptor was increased in expression on human NK cells following PGD. These data support a potential mechanism for NK cell migration during lung injury and identify a plausible preventative treatment for PGD.

Abstract
Organ transplantation remains the only treatment option for patients with end-stage organ dysfunction. However, there are numerous limitations that challenge its clinical application, including the shortage of organ donations, the quality of donated organs, injury during organ preservation and reperfusion, primary and chronic graft dysfunction, acute and chronic rejection, infection, and carcinogenesis in post-transplantation patients. Acute and chronic inflammation and cell death are two major underlying mechanisms for graft injury. Necroptosis is a type of programmed cell death involved in many diseases and has been studied in the setting of all major solid organ transplants, including the kidney, heart, liver, and lung. It is determined by the underlying donor organ conditions (e.g., age, alcohol consumption, fatty liver, hemorrhage shock, donation after circulatory death, etc.), preservation conditions and reperfusion, and allograft rejection. The specific molecular mechanisms of necroptosis have been uncovered in the organ transplantation setting, and potential targeting drugs have been identified. We hope this review article will promote more clinical research to determine the role of necroptosis and other types of programmed cell death in solid organ transplantation to alleviate the clinical burden of ischemia-reperfusion injury and graft rejection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Necroptosis, one of the types of regulated necrosis, causes ischemia-reperfusion (IR) lung injury. N-acetyl-leucyl-leucyl-norleucinal (ALLN), a calpain inhibitor, is known to attenuate necroptosis and apoptosis, and the purpose of this study was to evaluate the protective effect of ALLN during cold ischemia against IR injury in a rat lung transplant model. METHODS Male Lewis rats (250-350 g) were divided into 3 groups: sham group (n = 4), nontransplantation; control group (n = 8), transplantation with IR lung injury; and ALLN group (n = 8), transplantation with IR lung injury/ALLN. Rats in the sham group underwent a simple thoracotomy, and the remaining 2 groups of rats underwent an orthotopic left lung transplant. Cold ischemic time was 15 h. After 2 h of reperfusion, physiological function, inflammatory cytokine expression, pathway activation, and the degrees of necroptosis and apoptosis were evaluated. RESULTS Lung gas exchange (PaO 2 /FiO 2 ) was significantly better, and pulmonary edema was significantly improved in the ALLN group compared with the control group ( P = 0.0009, P = 0.0014). Plasma expression of interleukin-1β was significantly lower in the ALLN group than in the control group ( P = 0.0313). The proportion of necroptotic and apoptotic cells was significantly lower in the ALLN group than in the control group ( P = 0.0009), whereas the proportion of apoptotic cells remained unchanged ( P = 0.372); therefore, the calpain inhibitor was thought to suppress necroptosis. CONCLUSIONS The administration of ALLN during cold ischemia appears to improve IR lung injury in a lung transplant animal model via the inhibition of necroptosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES S100A8/A9 is a damage-associated molecule that augments systemic inflammation. However, its role in the acute phase after lung transplantation (LTx) remains elusive. This study aimed to determine S100A8/A9 levels after lung transplantation (LTx) and evaluate their impact on overall survival (OS) and chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD)-free survival. METHODS Sixty patients were enrolled in this study, and their plasma S100A8/A9 levels were measured on days 0, 1, 2, and 3 after LTx. The association of S100A8/A9 levels with OS and CLAD-free survival was assessed using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. RESULTS S100A8/A9 levels were elevated in a time-dependent manner until 3 days after LTx. Ischemic time was significantly longer in the high S100A8/9 group than in the low S100A8/A9 group (p = .017). Patients with high S100A8/A9 levels (> 2844 ng/mL) had worse prognosis (p = .031) and shorter CLAD-free survival (p = .045) in the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis than those with low levels. Furthermore, multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that high S100A8/A9 levels were a determinant of poor OS (hazard ratio [HR]: 3.7; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.2-12; p = .028) and poor CLAD-free survival (HR: 4.1; 95% CI: 1.1-15; p = .03). In patients with a low primary graft dysfunction grade (0-2), a high level of S100A8/A9 was also a poor prognostic factor. CONCLUSIONS Our study provided novel insights into the role of S100A8/A9 as a prognostic biomarker and a potential therapeutic target for LTx.

Abstract
Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) may serve as a platform for the pharmacologic repair of lung grafts before transplantation (LTx). We hypothesized that EVLP could also permit nonpharmacologic repair through the induction of a heat shock response, which confers stress adaptation via the expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs). Therefore, we evaluated whether transient heat application during EVLP (thermal preconditioning [TP]) might recondition damaged lungs before LTx. TP was performed during EVLP (3 hours) of rat lungs damaged by warm ischemia by transiently heating (30 minutes, 41.5 °C) the EVLP perfusate, followed by LTx (2 hours) reperfusion. We also assessed the TP (30 minutes, 42 °C) during EVLP (4 hours) of swine lungs damaged by prolonged cold ischemia. In rat lungs, TP induced HSP expression, reduced nuclear factor κB and inflammasome activity, oxidative stress, epithelial injury, inflammatory cytokines, necroptotic death signaling, and the expression of genes involved in innate immune and cell death pathways. After LTx, heated lungs displayed reduced inflammation, edema, histologic damage, improved compliance, and unchanged oxygenation. In pig lungs, TP induced HSP expression, reduced oxidative stress, inflammation, epithelial damage, vascular resistance, and ameliorated compliance. Collectively, these data indicate that transient heat application during EVLP promotes significant reconditioning of damaged lungs and improves their outcomes after transplantation.

Abstract
Lung transplantation is the treatment of choice for patients with end-stage lung disease. Currently, just under 5000 lung transplants are performed worldwide annually. However, a major scourge leading to 90-d and 1-year mortality remains primary graft dysfunction. It is a spectrum of lung injury ranging from mild to severe depending on the level of hypoxaemia and lung injury post-transplant. This review aims to provide an in-depth analysis of the epidemiology, pathophysiology, risk factors, outcomes, and future frontiers involved in mitigating primary graft dysfunction. The current diagnostic criteria are examined alongside changes from the previous definition. We also highlight the issues surrounding chronic lung allograft dysfunction and identify the novel therapies available for ex-vivo lung perfusion. Although primary graft dysfunction remains a significant contributor to 90-d and 1-year mortality, ongoing research and development abreast with current technological advancements have shed some light on the issue in pursuit of future diagnostic and therapeutic tools.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Hypotension episodes before or after donor brain death are assumed to trigger hypoxia-reoxygenation, causing diffuse alveolar-capillary damage via necrosis. However, alveolar-capillary membranes have direct access to oxygen in alveoli. We hypothesized hypotension-induced lung injury is not diffuse alveolar-capillary damage but interstitial inflammation resulting from nonhypoxic lung ischemia and systemic responses to hypoxic extrapulmonary ischemia. METHODS The 4-hour hypotension model was established by subjecting C57BL/6J mice to 4-hour hypotension at 15 ± 5 mm Hg of mean artery pressure and resuscitated with whole shed blood and norepinephrine. Nonhypoxic lung ischemia model was established by 4-hour left pulmonary artery ligation. At 24 hours postprocedure, an arterial blood gas analysis and a gastroduodenal occult blood test were conducted. Lung samples were assessed for histology, cytokine transcripts, regulated cell death, and alveolar-capillary permeability. RESULTS The 4-hour hypotension model had an intraoperative mortality rate of 17.7% (41/231) and a stress-ulcer bleeding rate of 15.3% (29/190). No signs of alveolar flooding were observed in both models. Four-hour hypotension without stress ulcer showed normal oxygenation and permeability but increased interstitial infiltration, transcription of Tnf and Il1b, phosphorylation of MLKL and RIPK3, and cleaved caspase 3 compared with 4-hour pulmonary artery ligation and naïve control. Animals that developed stress ulcer presented with worse pulmonary infiltration, intracellular edema, and oxygenation but just slightly increased permeability. Immunoblotting showed significant upregulations of protein expression and phosphorylation of MLKL and RIPK3, cleaved Caspase-3, but not its prototype in 4-hour hypotension with stress ulcer. CONCLUSIONS Hypotensive lung injury is essentially a nonhypoxic ischemia-reperfusion injury enhanced by systemic responses. It is predominated by necroptosis-induced inflammation rather than necrosis-induced diffuse alveolar-capillary damage.

Establishment of a risk prediction model for prolonged mechanical ventilation after lung transplantation: a retrospective cohort study. BMC Pulm Med 2023; 23:11.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV), mostly defined as mechanical ventilation > 72 h after lung transplantation with or without tracheostomy, is associated with increased mortality. Nevertheless, the predictive factors of PMV after lung transplant remain unclear. The present study aimed to develop a novel scoring system to identify PMV after lung transplantation. METHODS A total of 141 patients who underwent lung transplantation were investigated in this study. The patients were divided into PMV and non-prolonged ventilation (NPMV) groups. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to assess factors associated with PMV. A risk nomogram was then established based on the multivariate analysis, and model performance was further examined regarding its calibration, discrimination, and clinical usefulness. RESULTS Eight factors were finally identified to be significantly associated with PMV by the multivariate analysis and therefore were included as risk factors in the nomogram as follows: the body mass index (BMI, P = 0.036); primary diagnosis as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF, P = 0.038); pulmonary hypertension (PAH, P = 0.034); primary graft dysfunction grading (PGD, P = 0.011) at T0; cold ischemia time (CIT P = 0.012); and three ventilation parameters (peak inspiratory pressure [PIP, P < 0.001], dynamic compliance [Cdyn, P = 0.001], and P/F ratio [P = 0.015]) at T0. The nomogram exhibited superior discrimination ability with an area under the curve of 0.895. Furthermore, both calibration curve and decision-curve analysis indicated satisfactory performance. CONCLUSION A novel nomogram to predict individual risk of receiving PMV for patients after lung transplantation was established, which may guide preventative measures for tackling this adverse event.

Abstract
Chronic lung allograft dysfunction is the major barrier to long-term survival in lung transplant recipients. Evidence supports type 1 alloimmunity as the predominant response in acute/chronic lung rejection, but the immunoregulatory mechanisms remain incompletely understood. We studied the combinatorial F-box E3 ligase system: F-box protein 3 (FBXO3; proinflammatory) and F-box and leucine-rich repeat protein 2 (FBXL2; anti-inflammatory and regulates TNFR-associated factor [TRAF] protein). Using the mouse orthotopic lung transplant model, we evaluated allografts from BALB/c → C57BL/6 (acute rejection; day 10) and found significant induction of FBXO3 and diminished FBXL2 protein along with elevated T-bet, IFN-γ, and TRAF proteins 1-5 compared with isografts. In the acute model, treatment with costimulation blockade (MR1/CTLA4-Ig) resulted in attenuated FBXO3, preserved FBXL2, and substantially reduced T-bet, IFN-γ, and TRAFs 1-5, consistent with a key role for type 1 alloimmunity. Immunohistochemistry revealed significant changes in the FBXO3/FBXL2 balance in airway epithelia and infiltrating mononuclear cells during rejection compared with isografts or costimulation blockade-treated allografts. In the chronic lung rejection model, DBA/2J/C57BL/6F1 > DBA/2J (day 28), we observed persistently elevated FBXO3/FBXL2 balance and T-bet/IFN-γ protein and similar findings from lung transplant recipient lungs with chronic lung allograft dysfunction versus controls. We hypothesized that FBXL2 regulated T-bet and found FBXL2 was sufficient to polyubiquitinate T-bet and coimmunoprecipitated with T-bet on pulldown experiments and vice versa in Jurkat cells. Transfection with FBXL2 diminished T-bet protein in a dose-dependent manner in mouse lung epithelial cells. In testing type 1 cytokines, TNF-α was found to negatively regulate FBXL2 protein and mRNA levels. Together, our findings show the combinatorial E3 ligase FBXO3/FBXL2 system plays a role in the regulation of T-bet through FBXL2, with negative cross-regulation of TNF-α on FBXL2 during lung allograft rejection.

Abstract
Ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury, a main reason of mortality and morbidity worldwide, occurs in many organs and tissues. As a result of IR injury, senescent cells can accumulate in multiple organs. Increasing evidence shows that cellular senescence is the underlying mechanism that transforms an acute organ injury into a chronic one. Several recent studies suggest senescent cells can be targeted for the prevention or elimination of acute and chronic organ injury induced by IR. In this review, we concisely introduce the underlying mechanism and the pivotal role of premature senescence in the transition from acute to chronic IR injuries. Special focus is laid on recent advances in the mechanisms as well as on the basic and clinical research, targeting cellular senescence in multi-organ IR injuries. Besides, the potential directions in this field are discussed in the end. Together, the recent advances reviewed here will act as a comprehensive overview of the roles of cellular senescence in IR injury, which could be of great significance for the design of related studies, or as a guide for potential therapeutic target.

Abstract
Purpose Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of lung ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) is a cytosol dsDNA sensor, coupling with downstream stimulator of interferon genes (STING) located in the ER, which involves innate immune responses. The aim of our present study was to investigate the effects of cGAS on lung I/R injury via regulating ERS. Methods We used Sprague-Dawley rats to make the lung I/R model by performing left hilum occlusion-reperfusion surgery. cGAS-specific inhibitor RU.521, STING agonist SR-717, and 4-phenylbutyric acid (4-PBA), the ERS inhibitor, were intraperitoneally administered in rats. Double immunofluorescent staining was applied to detect the colocalization of cGAS or BiP, an ERS protein, with alveolar epithelial type II cells (AECIIs) marker. We used transmission electron microscopy to examine the ultrastructure of ER and mitochondria. Apoptosis and oxidative stress in the lungs were assessed, respectively. The profiles of pulmonary edema and lung tissue injury were evaluated. And the pulmonary ventilation function was measured using a spirometer system. Results In lung I/R rats, the cGAS-STING pathway was upregulated, which implied they were activated. After cGAS-STING pathway was inhibited or activated in lung I/R rats, the ERS was alleviated after cGAS was inhibited, while when STING was activated after lung I/R, ERS was aggravated in the AECIIs, these results suggested that cGAS-STING pathway might trigger ERS responses. Furthermore, activation of cGAS-STING pathway induced increased apoptosis, inflammation, and oxidative stress via regulating ERS and therefore resulted in pulmonary edema and pathological injury in the lungs of I/R rats. Inhibition of cGAS-STING pathway attenuated ERS, therefore attenuated lung injury and promoted pulmonary ventilation function in I/R rats. Conclusion Inhibition of the cGAS-STING pathway attenuates lung ischemia/reperfusion injury via alleviating endoplasmic reticulum stress in alveolar epithelial type II cells of rats.

Abstract
Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is the leading cause of postoperative mortality in lung transplant recipients and the most important risk factor for development of chronic lung allograft dysfunction. The mechanistic basis for the variability in the incidence and severity of PGD between lung transplant recipients is not known. Using a murine orthotopic vascularized lung transplant model, we found that redundant activation of Toll-like receptors 2 and 4 (TLR2 and -4) on nonclassical monocytes activates MyD88, inducing the release of the neutrophil attractant chemokine CXCL2. Deletion of Itgam (encodes CD11b) in nonclassical monocytes enhanced their production of CXCL2 and worsened PGD, while a CD11b agonist, leukadherin-1, administered only to the donor lung prior to lung transplantation, abrogated CXCL2 production and PGD. The damage-associated molecular pattern molecule HMGB1 was increased in peripheral blood samples from patients undergoing lung transplantation after reperfusion and induced CXCL2 production in nonclassical monocytes via TLR4/MyD88. An inhibitor of HMGB1 administered to the donor and recipient prior to lung transplantation attenuated PGD. Our findings suggest that CD11b acts as a molecular brake to prevent neutrophil recruitment by nonclassical monocytes following lung transplantation, revealing an attractive therapeutic target in the donor lung to prevent PGD in lung transplant recipients.

Necroptosis triggers spatially restricted neutrophil-mediated vascular damage during lung ischemia reperfusion injury. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2022; 119:e2111537119.

Abstract
Intravital imaging, oxidative lipidomics, and a transplant model were used to define mechanisms that regulate neutrophil recruitment into lungs during ischemia reperfusion injury, a clinically relevant form of sterile inflammation. We found that early neutrophil-mediated damage is largely confined to the subpleural vasculature, a process that is orchestrated by a spatially restricted distribution of nonclassical monocytes that produce chemokines following necroptosis of pulmonary cells. Neutrophils disrupt the integrity of subpleural capillaries, which is associated with impaired lung function. Neutrophil-mediated vascular leakage is dependent on TLR4 expression on vascular endothelium, NOX4 signaling, and formation of neutrophil extracellular traps. Our research provides insights into mechanisms that regulate neutrophil recruitment during sterile lung inflammation and lays the foundation for developing new therapies. Ischemia reperfusion injury represents a common pathological condition that is triggered by the release of endogenous ligands. While neutrophils are known to play a critical role in its pathogenesis, the tissue-specific spatiotemporal regulation of ischemia-reperfusion injury is not understood. Here, using oxidative lipidomics and intravital imaging of transplanted mouse lungs that are subjected to severe ischemia reperfusion injury, we discovered that necroptosis, a nonapoptotic form of cell death, triggers the recruitment of neutrophils. During the initial stages of inflammation, neutrophils traffic predominantly to subpleural vessels, where their aggregation is directed by chemoattractants produced by nonclassical monocytes that are spatially restricted in this vascular compartment. Subsequent neutrophilic disruption of capillaries resulting in vascular leakage is associated with impaired graft function. We found that TLR4 signaling in vascular endothelial cells and downstream NADPH oxidase 4 expression mediate the arrest of neutrophils, a step upstream of their extravasation. Neutrophil extracellular traps formed in injured lungs and their disruption with DNase prevented vascular leakage and ameliorated primary graft dysfunction. Thus, we have uncovered mechanisms that regulate the initial recruitment of neutrophils to injured lungs, which result in selective damage to subpleural pulmonary vessels and primary graft dysfunction. Our findings could lead to the development of new therapeutics that protect lungs from ischemia reperfusion injury.

Abstract
In the past decades, apoptosis has been the most well-studied regulated cell death (RCD) that has essential functions in tissue homeostasis throughout life. However, a novel form of RCD called necroptosis, which requires receptor-interacting protein kinase-3 (RIPK3) and mixed-lineage kinase domain-like pseudokinase (MLKL), has recently been receiving increasing scientific attention. The phosphorylation of RIPK3 enables the recruitment and phosphorylation of MLKL, which oligomerizes and translocates to the plasma membranes, ultimately leading to plasma membrane rupture and cell death. Although apoptosis elicits no inflammatory responses, necroptosis triggers inflammation or causes an innate immune response to protect the body through the release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). Increasing evidence now suggests that necroptosis is implicated in the pathogenesis of several human diseases such as systemic inflammation, respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, neurological diseases, and cancer. This review summarizes the emerging insights of necroptosis and its contribution toward the pathogenesis of lung diseases.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) has long been considered purely as a toxic gas. It binds to hemoglobin at high concentrations and displaces oxygen from its binding site, resulting in carboxyhemoglobin formation, which reduces oxygen-carrying capacity of blood and culminates in tissue hypoxia and its associated complications. Recently, however, CO is quickly moving past its historic notorious tag as a poisonous gas to a physiological signaling molecule with therapeutic potentials in several clinical situations including transplant-induced injury. This review discusses current knowledge of CO gas and CO-releasing molecules (CO-RMs) in preclinical models of lung and liver transplantation, and underlying molecular mechanisms of cyto- and organ protection during organ procurement, preservation, implantation and post-transplant periods. In addition, a discussion of the future of CO in clinical organ transplantation is provided.

Abstract
Objective This study examined whether the immunomodulator fingolimod (FTY720) could alleviate renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced lung injury and explored the potential mechanisms. Methods Renal I/R was established in a rat model, and FTY720 (0.5, 1, or 2 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally after 15 minutes of ischemia. Pro-inflammatory cytokine levels, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and the mRNA expression of the sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P)-related signaling pathway genes sphingosine kinase-1 (SphK1) and sphingosine kinase-2 were analyzed in lung tissue. Results Increased pro-inflammatory cytokine levels; decreased total superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase levels; increased apoptosis; and increased S1P lyase and SphK1 expression were observed following renal I/R. FTY720 reversed renal I/R-induced changes and effectively attenuated lung injury. Conclusion FTY720 protected against acute lung injury in rats subjected to renal I/R by decreasing pulmonary inflammation and apoptosis, increasing oxidative stress, and modulating S1P metabolism.

Abstract
Innate immune pathways early after pulmonary transplantation have been shown to cause primary graft dysfunction (PGD) and also predispose to late graft failure. Recent studies in animal models have elucidated critical mechanisms governing such innate immune responses. Here, we discuss pathways of inflammatory cell death, triggers for sterile and infectious inflammation, and signaling cascades that mediate lung injury early after transplantation. These studies highlight potential avenues for lung-specific therapies early following lung transplantation to dampen innate immune responses and improve outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Immune responses following lung transplantation continue to result in high rates of allograft failure and rejection, and current immunosuppression does not address the unique immunologic properties of the lung. Here, we review recent studies on lung allograft tolerance and alloimmunity and discuss implications for immunosuppression. RECENT FINDINGS Processes governing tolerance and alloimmunity in lung allografts differ from other solid organs. Recent studies have suggested that allorecognition is regulated at the level of the lung graft. Furthermore, certain cell populations essential for lung allograft tolerance may facilitate rejection in other organs. Induction of lung allograft tolerance is associated with the formation of tertiary lymphoid organs, which are enriched in regulatory T cells and play an important role in preventing rejection. SUMMARY Recent discoveries regarding alloactivation and the regulation of tolerance following lung transplantation have introduced exciting potential avenues for the development of lung-specific immunosuppression.

Abstract
Lung grafts may experience multiple injuries during lung transplantation, such as warm ischaemia, cold ischaemia, and reperfusion injury. These injuries all contribute to primary graft dysfunction, which is a major cause of morbidity and mortality after lung transplantation. As a potential selective antioxidant, hydrogen molecule (H2) protects against post-transplant complications in animal models of multiple organ transplantation. Herein, the authors review the current literature regarding the effects of H2 on lung injury from lung transplantation. The reviewed studies showed that H2 improved the outcomes of lung transplantation by decreasing oxidative stress and inflammation at the donor and recipient phases. H2 is primarily administered via inhalation, drinking hydrogen-rich water, hydrogen-rich saline injection, or a hydrogen-rich water bath. H2 favorably modulates signal transduction and gene expression, resulting in the suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and excess reactive oxygen species production. Although H2 appears to be a physiological regulatory molecule with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties, its exact mechanisms of action remain elusive. Taken together, accumulating experimental evidence indicates that H2 can significantly alleviate transplantation-related lung injury, mainly via inhibition of inflammatory cytokine secretion and reduction in oxidative stress through several underlying mechanisms. Further animal experiments and preliminary human clinical trials will lay the foundation for the use of H2 as a treatment in the clinic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Both apoptosis and necroptosis have been recognized to be involved in ischemia reperfusion-induced lung injury. We aimed to compare the efficacies of therapies targeting necroptosis and apoptosis and to determine if there is a synergistic effect between the two therapies in reducing lung ischemia reperfusion injury. METHODS Forty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into 5 groups: sham (SM) group, ischemia reperfusion (IR) group, necrostatin-1+ischemia reperfusion (NI) group, carbobenzoxy-Val-Ala-Asp-fluoromethylketone+ischemia reperfusion (ZI) group, and necrostatin-1+carbobenzoxy-Val-Ala-Asp-fluoromethylketone+ischemia reperfusion (NZ) group. The left lung hilum was exposed without being clamped in rats from the SM group, whereas the rats were subjected to lung ischemia reperfusion by clamping the left lung hilum for 1 hour, followed by reperfusion for 3 hours in the IR group. 1 mg/kg necrostatin-1 (Nec-1: a specific necroptosis inhibitor) and 3 mg/kg carbobenzoxy-Val-Ala-Asp-fluoromethylketone (z-VAD-fmk: a pan caspase inhibitor) were intraperitoneally administrated prior to ischemia in NI and ZI groups, respectively, and the rats received combined administration of Nec-1 and z-VAD-fmk in the NZ group. Upon reperfusion, expressions of receptor-interacting protein 1 (RIP1), receptor-interacting protein 3 (RIP3), and caspase-8 were measured, and the flow cytometry analysis was used to assess the cell death patterns in the lung tissue. Moreover, inflammatory marker levels in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and pulmonary edema were evaluated. RESULTS Both Nec-1 and z-VAD-fmk, either alone or in combination, significantly reduced morphological damage, inflammatory markers, and edema in lung tissues following reperfusion, and cotreatment of z-VAD-fmk with Nec-1 produced the optimal effect. The rats treated with Nec-1 had lower levels of inflammatory markers in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid than those receiving z-VAD-fmk alone (P < 0.05). Interestingly, the z-VAD-fmk administration upregulated RIP1 and RIP3 expressions in the lung tissue from the ZI group compared to those in the IR group (P < 0.05). Reperfusion significantly increased the percentages of necrotic and apoptotic cells in lung tissue single-cell suspension, which could be decreased by Nec-1 and z-VAD-fmk, respectively (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Nec-1 synergizes the pan caspase inhibitor to attenuate lung ischemia reperfusion injury in rats. Our data support the potential use of Nec-1 in lung transplantation-related disorders.

Abstract
Lung ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury is a common clinical pathology associated with high mortality. Ferroptosis, a novel mode of cell death elicited by iron-dependent phospholipid peroxidation, has been implicated in ischemic events. Acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4) is one of the main enzymes in pro-ferroptotic lipid metabolism. In this study, the involvement of ferroptotic death in different durations of reperfusion was evaluated by assessing the iron content, malondialdehyde, and glutathione levels, ferroptosis-related protein expression, and mitochondria morphology. The roles of ferroptosis-specific inhibitor, liproxastin-1 (Lip-1), and ACSL4 modulation in a preventive regimen were assessed in vivo and in vitro. The hallmarks of pulmonary function, such as histological lung injury score, wet/dry ratio, and oxygenation index, were evaluated as well. Results showed that lung IR increased the tissue iron content and lipid peroxidation accumulation, along with key protein (GPX4 and ACSL4) expression alteration during reperfusion. Pretreatment with Lip-1 inhibited ferroptosis and ameliorated lung IR-induced injury in animal and cell models. In addition, administering ACSL4 inhibitor rosiglitazone before ischemia diminished the ferroptotic damage in IR-injured lung tissue, consistent with the protective effect of ACSL4 knockdown on lung epithelial cells subjected to hypoxia/reoxygenation. Thus, this study delineated that IR-induced ferroptotic cell death in lung tissue and ACSL4 were correlated with this process. Inhibition of ferroptosis and ACSL4 mitigated the ferroptotic damage in IR-induced lung injury by reducing lipid peroxidation and increasing the glutathione and GPX4 levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Burn injury still has a high attributable mortality. The elevated mortality rate of severe burns is still concerning. Hepatic inflammation and injury are common after burns and are associated with poor outcomes. Necroptosis is a programmed cell death linked with inflammation. Thus, assessing necroptotic pathways in the liver can lead to new therapeutic modalities to improve mortality after severe burns. METHODS Mice underwent 15% total body surface area burn or sham injury. Three hours after burn, the mice were euthanized to collect blood and livers. Histology, injury markers, genes expression, and tissue protein levels were compared between groups. RESULTS Compared with sham, burned mice had heightened liver inflammatory cell infiltration and edema. Serum aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase were increased by 4.9- and 3.4-fold, respectively, in burned mice relative to sham (p < 0.05). Expression of tumor necrosis factor α, interleukin-6, interleukin-1β, and CXCL1 (KC) genes were elevated in livers of burned mice by 10-, 86-, 10-, and 828-fold, respectively, compared with sham (p < 0.05). Expression of necroptotic genes, namely, receptor-interacting protein kinases 1 and 3, and mixed lineage kinase domain-like in livers of burned mice were increased by 10-, 13-, and 4.5-fold, respectively, relative to sham (p < 0.05). Receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 and phosphorylated mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein levels measured by Western-blot in livers after burn injury were elevated by 22- and 17-fold, respectively, compared with sham (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Liver damage occurs early after burns in mice and is associated with elevation of proinflammatory cytokines, chemokine, and proteins involved in the necroptotic pathway. This study suggests that necroptosis plays a role in the pathogenesis of liver failure secondary to burn injury.

Abstract
While liver transplantation remains the sole treatment option for patients with end-stage liver disease, there are numerous limitations to liver transplantation including the scarcity of donor livers and a rise in livers that are unsuitable to transplant such as those with excess steatosis. Fatty livers are susceptible to ischaemia-reperfusion (IR) injury during transplantation and IR injury results in primary graft non-function, graft failure and mortality. Recent studies have described new cell death pathways which differ from the traditional apoptotic pathway. Necroptosis, a regulated form of cell death, has been associated with hepatic IR injury. Receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) and mixed-lineage kinase domain-like pseudokinase (MLKL) are thought to be instrumental in the execution of necroptosis. The study of hepatic necroptosis and potential therapeutic approaches to attenuate IR injury will be a key factor in improving our knowledge regarding liver transplantation with fatty donor livers. In this review, we focus on the effect of hepatic steatosis during liver transplantation as well as molecular mechanisms of necroptosis and its involvement during liver IR injury. We also discuss the immune responses triggered during necroptosis and examine the utility of necroptosis inhibitors as potential therapeutic approaches to alleviate IR injury.

Abstract
The life-saving benefits of organ transplantation can be thwarted by allograft dysfunction due to both infectious and sterile inflammation post-surgery. Sterile inflammation can occur after necrotic cell death due to the release of endogenous ligands [such as damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and alarmins], which perpetuate inflammation and ongoing cellular injury via various signaling cascades. Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a significant contributor to sterile inflammation after organ transplantation and is associated with detrimental short- and long-term outcomes. While the vicious cycle of sterile inflammation and cellular injury is remarkably consistent amongst different organs and even species, we have begun understanding its mechanistic basis only over the last few decades. This understanding has resulted in the developments of novel, yet non-specific therapies for mitigating IRI-induced graft damage, albeit with moderate results. Thus, further understanding of the mechanisms underlying sterile inflammation after transplantation is critical for identifying personalized therapies to prevent or interrupt this vicious cycle and mitigating allograft dysfunction. In this review, we identify common and distinct pathways of post-transplant sterile inflammation across both heart and lung transplantation that can potentially be targeted.

Abstract
The shortage of transplantable donor organs directly affects patients with end-stage lung disease, for which transplantation remains the only definitive treatment. With the current acceptance rate of donor lungs of only 20%, rescuing even one half of the rejected donor lungs would increase the number of transplantable lungs threefold, to 60%. We review recent advances in lung bioengineering that have potential to repair the epithelial and vascular compartments of the lung. Our focus is on the long-term support and recovery of the lung ex vivo, and the replacement of defective epithelium with healthy therapeutic cells. To this end, we first review the roles of the lung epithelium and vasculature, with focus on the alveolar-capillary membrane, and then discuss the available and emerging technologies for ex vivo bioengineering of the lung by decellularization and recellularization. While there have been many meritorious advances in these technologies for recovering marginal quality lungs to the levels needed to meet the standards for transplantation – many challenges remain, motivating further studies of the extended ex vivo support and interventions in the lung. We propose that the repair of injured epithelium with preservation of quiescent vasculature will be critical for the immediate blood supply to the lung and the lung survival and function following transplantation.

Abstract
Long-term survival after lung transplantation remains suboptimal due to chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), a progressive scarring process affecting the graft. Although anti-donor alloimmunity is central to the pathogenesis of CLAD, its underlying mechanisms are not fully elucidated and it is neither preventable nor treatable using currently available immunosuppression. Recent evidence has shown that innate immune stimuli are fundamental to the development of CLAD. Here, we examine long-standing assumptions and new concepts linking innate immune activation to late lung allograft fibrosis.
