Recombinant thrombomodulin and recombinant antithrombin attenuate pulmonary endothelial glycocalyx degradation and neutrophil extracellular trap formation in ventilator-induced lung injury in the context of endotoxemia. Respir Res 2024; 25:330. [PMID: 39227918 PMCID: PMC11373098 DOI: 10.1186/s12931-024-02958-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2024] [Accepted: 08/20/2024] [Indexed: 09/05/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Vascular endothelial damage is involved in the development and exacerbation of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). Pulmonary endothelial glycocalyx and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are endothelial protective and damaging factors, respectively; however, their dynamics in VILI and the effects of recombinant thrombomodulin and antithrombin on these dynamics remain unclear. We hypothesized that glycocalyx degradation and NETs are induced by VILI and suppressed by recombinant thrombomodulin, recombinant antithrombin, or their combination. METHODS VILI was induced in male C57BL/6J mice by intraperitoneal lipopolysaccharide injection (20 mg/kg) and high tidal volume ventilation (20 mL/kg). In the intervention groups, recombinant thrombomodulin, recombinant antithrombin, or their combination was administered at the start of mechanical ventilation. Glycocalyx degradation was quantified by measuring serum syndecan-1, fluorescence-labeled lectin intensity, and glycocalyx-occupied area in the pulmonary vascular lumen. Double-stranded DNA in the bronchoalveolar fluid and fluorescent areas of citrullinated histone H3 and myeloperoxidase were quantified as NET formation. RESULTS Serum syndecan-1 increased, and lectin fluorescence intensity decreased in VILI. Electron microscopy revealed decreases in glycocalyx-occupied areas within pulmonary microvessels in VILI. Double-stranded DNA levels in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and the fluorescent area of citrullinated histone H3 and myeloperoxidase in lung tissues increased in VILI. Recombinant thrombomodulin, recombinant antithrombin, and their combination reduced glycocalyx injury and NET marker levels. There was little difference in glycocalyx injury and NET makers between the intervention groups. CONCLUSION VILI induced glycocalyx degradation and NET formation. Recombinant thrombomodulin and recombinant antithrombin attenuated glycocalyx degradation and NETs in our VILI model. The effect of their combination did not differ from that of either drug alone. Recombinant thrombomodulin and antithrombin have the potential to be therapeutic agents for biotrauma in VILI.

Abstract
A variety of pulmonary insults can prompt the need for life-saving mechanical ventilation; however, misuse, prolonged use, or an excessive inflammatory response, can result in ventilator-induced lung injury. Past research has observed an increased instance of respiratory distress in older patients and differences in the inflammatory response. To address this, we performed high pressure ventilation on young (2-3 months) and old (20-25 months) mice for 2 hours and collected data for macrophage phenotypes and lung tissue integrity. Large differences in macrophage activation at baseline and airspace enlargement after ventilation were observed in the old mice. The experimental data was used to determine plausible trajectories for a mathematical model of the inflammatory response to lung injury which includes variables for the innate inflammatory cells and mediators, epithelial cells in varying states, and repair mediators. Classification methods were used to identify influential parameters separating the parameter sets associated with the young or old data and separating the response to ventilation, which was measured by changes in the epithelial state variables. Classification methods ranked parameters involved in repair and damage to the epithelial cells and those associated with classically activated macrophages to be influential. Sensitivity results were used to determine candidate in-silico interventions and these interventions were most impact for transients associated with the old data, specifically those with poorer lung health prior to ventilation. Model results identified dynamics involved in M1 macrophages as a focus for further research, potentially driving the age-dependent differences in all macrophage phenotypes. The model also supported the pro-inflammatory response as a potential indicator of age-dependent differences in response to ventilation. This mathematical model can serve as a baseline model for incorporating other pulmonary injuries.

Abstract
Mechanical ventilation can be used in mice to support high-risk anesthesia or to create clinically relevant, intensive care models. However, the choice of anesthetic and inspired oxygen concentration for prolonged procedures may affect basic physiology and lung inflammation. To characterize the effects of anesthetics and oxygen concentration in mice experiencing mechanical ventilation, mice were anesthetized with either isoflurane or pentobarbital for tracheostomy followed by mechanical ventilation with either 100% or 21% oxygen. Body temperature, oxygen saturation, and pulse rate were monitored continuously. After 6 h, mice were euthanized for collection of blood and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid for evaluation of biomarkers of inflammation and lung injury, including cell counts and cytokine levels. Overall, both isoflurane and pentobarbital provided suitable anesthesia for 6 h of mechanical ventilation with either 21% or 100% oxygen. We found no differences in lung inflammation biomarkers attributable to either oxygen concentration or the anesthetic. However, the combination of pentobarbital and 100% oxygen resulted in a significantly higher concentration of a biomarker for lung epithelial cell injury. This study demonstrates that the combination of anesthetic agent, mechanical ventilation, and inspired oxygen concentrations can alter vital signs and lung injury biomarkers during prolonged procedures. Their combined impact may influence model development and the interpretation of research results, warranting the need for preliminary evaluation to establish the baseline effects.

A long-lasting porcine model of ARDS caused by pneumonia and ventilator-induced lung injury. Crit Care 2023; 27:239.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Animal models of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) do not completely resemble human ARDS, struggling translational research. We aimed to characterize a porcine model of ARDS induced by pneumonia-the most common risk factor in humans-and analyze the additional effect of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). METHODS Bronchoscopy-guided instillation of a multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain was performed in ten healthy pigs. In six animals (pneumonia-with-VILI group), pulmonary damage was further increased by VILI applied 3 h before instillation and until ARDS was diagnosed by PaO2/FiO2 < 150 mmHg. Four animals (pneumonia-without-VILI group) were protectively ventilated 3 h before inoculum and thereafter. Gas exchange, respiratory mechanics, hemodynamics, microbiological studies and inflammatory markers were analyzed during the 96-h experiment. During necropsy, lobar samples were also analyzed. RESULTS All animals from pneumonia-with-VILI group reached Berlin criteria for ARDS diagnosis until the end of experiment. The mean duration under ARDS diagnosis was 46.8 ± 7.7 h; the lowest PaO2/FiO2 was 83 ± 5.45 mmHg. The group of pigs that were not subjected to VILI did not meet ARDS criteria, even when presenting with bilateral pneumonia. Animals developing ARDS presented hemodynamic instability as well as severe hypercapnia despite high-minute ventilation. Unlike the pneumonia-without-VILI group, the ARDS animals presented lower static compliance (p = 0.011) and increased pulmonary permeability (p = 0.013). The highest burden of P. aeruginosa was found at pneumonia diagnosis in all animals, as well as a high inflammatory response shown by a release of interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8. At histological examination, only animals comprising the pneumonia-with-VILI group presented signs consistent with diffuse alveolar damage. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, we established an accurate pulmonary sepsis-induced ARDS model.

Abstract
Although lung immunity is pathogen induced, the immunity can also be induced by mechanical distortion of the lung. The causal basis of the lung's mechanosensitive immunity remains unclear. Here, through live optical imaging of mouse lungs, we show that alveolar stretch due to hyperinflation induced prolonged cytosolic Ca2+ increases in sessile alveolar macrophages (AMs). Knockout studies revealed that the Ca2+ increases resulted from Ca2+ diffusion from the alveolar epithelium to sessile AMs through connexin 43 (Cx43)-containing gap junctions. Lung inflammation and injury in mice exposed to injurious mechanical ventilation were inhibited by AM-specific Cx43 knockout, or AM-specific delivery of a calcium inhibitor. We conclude, Cx43 gap junctions and calcium mobilization in sessile AMs determine the lung's mechanosensitive immunity, providing a therapeutic strategy against hyperinflation-induced lung injury.

Transforming growth factor-β1 attenuates inflammation and lung injury with regulating immune function in ventilator-induced lung injury mice. Int Immunopharmacol 2023; 114:109462.

Abstract
Ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) is a lung injury induced or aggravated by mechanical ventilation. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 is a cytokine that mediates immune function, enabling inflammatory attenuation and tissue repair. Here, we hypothesized that it plays an important role in the attenuation of VILI and inflammation. Ventilation with high tidal volume was performed on C57BL/6 mice to establish a VILI model. After 4 h of ventilation, mice were sacrificed (end of ventilation [EOV]) or extubated for resuscitation at 4 h (post-ventilation 4 h [PV4h]), 8 h (PV8h) and 24 h post-ventilation (PV1d). Recombinant mouse TGF-β1 (rTGF-β1) and the neutralization antibody of TGF-β1 (nTAb) were used in vivo to examine the effect of TGF-β1 on immune function and inflammatory attenuation in VILI mice. Lung injury was exacerbated at the same trend as the interleukin (IL)-1β level, peaking at PV1d, whereas IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α levels gradually reduced. Most active phagosomes, swollen round mitochondria, and cavitating lamellar bodies were observed at PV4h. The CD4+ T cells were significantly increased from PV4h to PV1d, and the CD8a + T cells were higher in the PV4h and PV1d groups; furthermore, the mice in the PV8h group showed highest proportion of CD4+CD8a+ T cells and CD4+/CD8a+ ratio. CD19 + and CD5 + CD19 + B cells in VILI mice began to increase at PV1d. The pulmonary expression of latent and monomer TGF-β1 increased at PV4h and PV8h. Treatment of rTGF-β1 only induced high expression of latent and monomer TGF-β1 at EOV to decrease pulmonary levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α; however, lung injury attenuated from EOV to PV1d. TGF-β1 induced the delayed elevation of CD4+/CD8a+ T cells ratio and activation of pulmonary CD4+CD8a+ double-positive T cells under certain conditions. Elastic fibers and celluloses, although relatively less proteoglycan, were observed with the overexpression of TGF-β1 at PV4h and PV8h. In conclusion, TGF-β1 attenuates the inflammatory response and lung injury of VILI via immune function regulation.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Mechanical ventilation is a life-saving therapy for critically ill patients, providing rest to the respiratory muscles and facilitating gas exchange in the lungs. Ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) is an unfortunate side effect of mechanical ventilation that may lead to serious consequences for the patient and increase mortality. The four main injury mechanisms associated with VILI are: baro/volutrauma caused by overstretching the lung tissues; atelectrauma, caused by repeated opening and closing of the alveoli resulting in shear stress; oxygen toxicity due to use of high ratio of oxygen in inspired air, causing formation of free radicals; and biotrauma, the resulting biological response to tissue injury, that leads to a cascade of events due to excessive inflammatory reactions and may cause multi-organ failure. An often-overlooked part of the inflammatory reaction is oxidative stress. In this research, a mouse model of VILI was set up with three tidal volume settings (10, 20 and 30 mL/kg) at atmospheric oxygen level. Airway pressures and heart rate were monitored and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and lung tissue samples were taken.
Results
We show a correlation between increased inflammation and barrier failure, and higher tidal volumes, evidenced by increased IL-6 expression, high concentration of proteins in BALF along with changes in expression of adhesion molecules. Furthermore, swelling of mitochondria in alveolar type II cells was seen indicating their dysfunction and senescence-like state. RNA sequencing data present clear increases in inflammation, mitochondrial biogenesis and oxidative stress as tidal volume is increased, supported by degradation of Keap1, a redox-regulated substrate adaptor protein.
Conclusions
Oxidative stress seems to be a more prominent mechanism of VILI than previously considered, indicating that possible treatment methods against VILI might be identified by impeding oxidative pathways.

Abstract
Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is a condition of pulmonary surfactant insufficiency in the premature newborn. As such, artificial pulmonary surfactant administration is a key treatment. Despite continued improvement in the clinical outcomes of RDS, there are currently no established bedside tools to monitor whether pulmonary surfactant is effectively instilled throughout the lungs. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is an emerging technique in which physiological functions are monitored on the basis of temporal changes in conductivity of different tissues in the body. In this preliminary study, we aimed to assess how EIT tidal volumes correlate with ventilator tidal volumes in an RDS animal model, namely untreated, surfactant-treated, and normal control rabbit pups. Tidal volumes were measured simultaneously on an EIT system and a mechanical ventilator and compared at different peak inspiratory pressures. The linear correlation between tidal volumes measured by EIT and by ventilator had an R2 of 0.71, 0.76 and 0.86 in the untreated, surfactant-treated, and normal control groups, respectively. Bland–Altman analysis showed a good correlation between the measurements obtained with these two modalities. The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) between ventilator tidal volume and EIT tidal volume were 0.83, 0.87, and 0.93 (all p < 0.001) in the untreated, surfactant-treated, and normal control groups, respectively, indicating that the higher ICC value, the better inflated status of the lung. In conclusion, we demonstrated that EIT tidal volume correlated with ventilator tidal volume. ICC was higher in the surfactant treated group.

Abstract
Supportive care with mechanical ventilation continues to be an essential strategy for managing severe neonatal respiratory failure; however, it is well known to cause and accentuate neonatal lung injury. The pathogenesis of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) is multifactorial and complex, resulting predominantly from interactions between ventilator-related factors and patient-related factors. Importantly, VILI is a significant risk factor for developing bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), the most common chronic respiratory morbidity of preterm infants that lacks specific therapies, causes life-long morbidities, and imposes psychosocial and economic burdens. Studies of older children and adults suggest that understanding how and why VILI occurs is essential to developing strategies for mitigating VILI and its consequences. This article reviews the preclinical and clinical evidence on the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of VILI in neonates. We also highlight the evidence behind various lung-protective strategies to guide clinicians in preventing and attenuating VILI and, by extension, BPD in neonates. Further, we provide a snapshot of future directions that may help minimize neonatal VILI.

Biomedicines 2022; 10:98. [PMID: 35052778 PMCID: PMC8773193 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines10010098] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2021] [Revised: 12/26/2021] [Accepted: 12/31/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a major cause of patient mortality in intensive care units (ICUs) worldwide. Considering that no causative treatment but only symptomatic care is available, it is obvious that there is a high unmet medical need for a new therapeutic concept. One reason for a missing etiologic therapy strategy is the multifactorial origin of ARDS, which leads to a large heterogeneity of patients. This review summarizes the various kinds of ARDS onset with a special focus on the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are generally linked to ARDS development and progression. Taking a closer look at the data which already have been established in mouse models, this review finally proposes the translation of these results on successful antioxidant use in a personalized approach to the ICU patient as a potential adjuvant to standard ARDS treatment.
