Mouse genetic background impacts susceptibility to hyperoxia-driven perturbations to lung maturation. Pediatr Pulmonol 2019; 54:1060-1077. [PMID: 30848059 DOI: 10.1002/ppul.24304] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2018] [Revised: 02/08/2019] [Accepted: 02/10/2019] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The laboratory mouse is widely used in preclinical models of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, where lung alveolarization is stunted by exposure of pups to hyperoxia. Whether the diverse genetic backgrounds of different inbred mouse strains impacts lung development in newborn mice exposed to hyperoxia has not been systematically assessed. METHODS Hyperoxia (85% O2 , 14 days)-induced perturbations to lung alveolarization were assessed by design-based stereology in C57BL/6J, BALB/cJ, FVB/NJ, C3H/HeJ, and DBA/2J inbred mouse strains. The expression of components of the lung antioxidant machinery was assessed by real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and immunoblot. RESULTS Hyperoxia-reduced lung alveolar density in all five mouse strains to different degrees (C57BL/6J, 64.8%; FVB/NJ, 47.4%; BALB/cJ, 46.4%; DBA/2J, 45.9%; and C3H/HeJ, 35.9%). Hyperoxia caused a 94.5% increase in mean linear intercept in the C57BL/6J strain, whilst the C3H/HeJ strain was the least affected (31.6% increase). In contrast, hyperoxia caused a 65.4% increase in septal thickness in the FVB/NJ strain, where the C57BL/6J strain was the least affected (30.3% increase). The expression of components of the lung antioxidant machinery in response to hyperoxia was strain dependent, with the C57BL/6J strain exhibiting the most dramatic engagement. Baseline expression levels of components of the lung antioxidant systems were different in the five mouse strains studied, under both normoxic and hyperoxic conditions. CONCLUSION The genetic background of laboratory mouse strains dramatically influenced the response of the developing lung to hyperoxic insult. This might be explained, at least in part, by differences in how antioxidant systems are engaged by different mouse strains after hyperoxia exposure.

Abstract
Preterm birth accounts for approximately 11% of births globally, with rates increasing across many countries. Concurrent advances in neonatal care have led to increased survival of infants of lower gestational age (GA). However, infants born <32 weeks of GA experience adverse respiratory outcomes, manifesting with increased respiratory symptoms, hospitalisation and health care utilisation into early childhood. The development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) - the chronic lung disease of prematurity - further increases the risk of poor respiratory outcomes throughout childhood, into adolescence and adulthood. Indeed, survivors of preterm birth have shown increased respiratory symptoms, altered lung structure, persistent and even declining lung function throughout childhood. The mechanisms behind this persistent and sometimes progressive lung disease are unclear, and the implications place those born preterm at increased risk of respiratory morbidity into adulthood. This review aims to summarise what is known about the long-term pulmonary outcomes of contemporary preterm birth, examine the possible mechanisms of long-term respiratory morbidity in those born preterm and discuss addressing the unknowns and potentials for targeted treatments.

Abstract
In vitro cell culture systems are a useful tool to rapidly assess the potential safety or toxicity of chemical constituents of food. Here, we investigated oxidative stress and organ-specific antioxidant responses by 7 potential dietary ingredients using canine in vitro culture of hepatocytes, proximal tubule cells (CPTC), bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC) and enterocyte-like cells (ELC). Cellular production of free radical species by denatonium benzoate (DB), epigallocatechin gallate (EPI), eucalyptol (EUC), green tea catechin extract (GTE) and sodium copper chlorophyllin (SCC), tetrahydroisohumulone (TRA) as well as xylitol (XYL) were continuously measured for reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) and superoxide (SO) for up to 24h. DB and TRA showed strong prooxidant activities in hepatocytes and to a lesser degree in ELC. DB was a weak prooxidant in BMSC. In contrast DB and TRA were antioxidants in CPTC. EPI was prooxidant in hepatocytes and BMSC but showed prooxidant and antioxidant activity in CPTC. SCC in hepatocytes (12.5mg/mL) and CPTC (0.78mg/mL) showed strong prooxidant and antioxidant activity in a concentration-dependent manner. GTE was effective antioxidant only in ELC. EUC and XYL did not induce ROS/RNS in all 4 cell types. SO production by EPI and TRA increased in hepatocytes but decreased by SCC in hepatocytes and ELC. These results suggest that organ-specific responses to oxidative stress by these potential prooxidant compounds may implicate a mechanism of their toxicities.

Abstract
The mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 4 (MKK4) is activated via phosphorylation of Ser-257 and Thr-261 by upstream MAP3Ks and activates JNK and p38 MAPKs in response to cellular stress. We show that thioredoxin (Trx), a cellular redox protein, activates MKK4 via Cys-246 and Cys-266 residues as mutation of these residues renders MKK4 insensitive to phosphorylation by MAP3Ks, TNFα, or Trx. MKK4 is activated in vitro by reduced Trx but not oxidized Trx in the absence of an upstream kinase, suggesting that autophosphorylation of this protein occurs due to reduction of Cys-246 and Cys-266 by Trx. Additionally, mutation of Cys-246 and Cys-266 resulted in loss of kinase activity suggesting that the redox state of Cys-246 and Cys-266 is a critical determinant of MKK4 activation. Trx induces manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) gene transcription by activating MKK4 via redox control of Cys-246 and Cys-266, as mutation of these residues abrogates MKK4 activation and MnSOD expression. We further show that MKK4 activates NFκB for its binding to the MnSOD promoter, which leads to AP-1 dissociation followed by MnSOD transcription. Taken together, our studies show that the redox status of Cys-246 and Cys-266 in MKK4 controls its activities independent of MAP3K, demonstrating integration of the endothelial redox environment to MAPK signaling.

Abstract
AIMS to summarize present knowledge regarding the relation between oxidative stress and development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). METHODS relevant literature searched at Pubmed and other sources. RESULTS Oxidative stress is generated in a number of conditions and by a number of causes such as inflammation and hyperoxia. Ontogenic aspects are discussed. Oxidative stress as physiological regulators, its relation to transcription factors and inflammation is summarized. The role of oxygen and antioxidant therapy and newborn resuscitation for development and prevention of BPD as well as new therapeutic modes especially the use of growth factors, gene therapy and stem cells, are briefly discussed. CONCLUSION oxidative stress and BPD are associated. A better understanding of this association is necessary in order to reduce the severity and the incidence of the condition.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) serve as cell signaling molecules for normal biologic processes. However, the generation of ROS can also provoke damage to multiple cellular organelles and processes, which can ultimately disrupt normal physiology. An imbalance between the production of ROS and the antioxidant defenses that protect cells has been implicated in the pathogenesis of a variety of diseases, such as cancer, asthma, pulmonary hypertension, and retinopathy. The nature of the injury will ultimately depend on specific molecular interactions, cellular locations, and timing of the insult. This review will outline the origins of endogenous and exogenously generated ROS. The molecular, cellular, pathologic, and physiologic targets will then be discussed with a particular emphasis on aspects relevant to child development. Finally, antioxidant defenses that scavenge ROS and mitigate associated toxicities will be presented, with a discussion of potential therapeutic approaches for the prevention and/or treatment of human diseases using enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidants.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is a risk factor for bronchopulmonary dysplasia in the preterm newborn. Antioxidant defense is impaired in the preterm newborn. Oxidative stress is also involved in cell growth and development. The relationship between oxidative stress and cell growth needs to be understood before antioxidant therapy can be routinely introduced. Several antioxidant therapies have been unsuccessfully tried until now. This review highlights the importance of oxygen free radicals in the pathogenesis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia.

Abstract
Pulmonary antioxidants and their therapeutic implications have been extensively studied during past decades. The purpose of this review is to briefly summarize the key findings of these studies as well as to elaborate on some novel approaches with respect to potential preventive treatments for neonatal chronic lung disease bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Such new ideas include, for example, modification of transcription factors governing the hypoxic response pathways, important in angiogenesis, cell survival, and glycolytic responses. The fundamental strategy behind that approach is that fetal lung normally develops under hypoxic conditions and that this hypoxic, growth-favoring environment is interrupted by a premature birth. Importantly, during fetal lung development, alveolar development appears to be dependent on vascular development. Therefore, enhancement of signaling factors that occur during hypoxic fetal life ('continued fetal life ex utero'), including angiogenic responses, could potentially lead to improved lung growth and thereby alleviate the alveolar and vascular hypoplasia characteristic of BPD.

Abstract
Neonatal rodents are more tolerant to hyperoxia than adults. We determined whether maturational differences in lung NF-kappaB activation could account for the differences. After hyperoxic exposure (O2 > 95%), neonatal (<12 hours old) lung NF-kappaB binding was increased and reached a maximum between 8 and 16 hours, whereas in adults no changes were observed. Additionally, neonatal NF-kappaB/luciferase transgenic mice (incorporating 2 NF-kappaB consensus sequences driving luciferase gene expression) demonstrated enhanced in vivo NF-kappaB activation after hyperoxia in real time. In the lungs of neonates, there was a propensity toward NF-kappaB activation as evidenced by increased lung I-kappaB kinase protein levels, I-kappaBalpha phosphorylation, beta-transducin repeat-containing protein levels, and total I-kappaBalpha degradation. Increased lung p-JNK immunoreactive protein was observed only in the adult lung. Inhibition of pI-kappaBalpha by BAY 11-7085 resulted in decreased Bcl-2 protein levels in neonatal lung homogenates and decreased cell viability in lung primary cultures after hyperoxic exposure. Furthermore, neonatal p50-null mutant (p50(-/-)) mice showed increased lung DNA degradation and decreased survival in hyperoxia compared with WT mice. These data demonstrate that there are maturational differences in lung NF-kappaB activation and that enhanced NF-kappaB may serve to protect the neonatal lung from acute hyperoxic injury via inhibition of apoptosis.

Abstract
We studied cell-specific protein expression of all the major antioxidant enzymes (AOEs) and related proteins, such as copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD), manganese SOD (MnSOD), extracellular SOD (ECSOD), catalase, the heavy and light chains of gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase (gamma-GCS-l and gamma-GCS-h, also called glutamate cysteine ligase), the rate-limiting enzyme in glutathione synthesis, hemeoxygenase-1 (HO-1), and thioredoxin (Trx), in developing human lung, respiratory distress syndrome, and bronchopulmonary dysplasia by immunohistochemistry. Generally, after 17 weeks of gestational age, MnSOD was predominantly expressed in bronchial epithelium, alveolar epithelium, and macrophages, CuZnSOD was expressed in bronchial epithelium, ECSOD was expressed in bronchial epithelium, vascular endothelium, and the extracellular matrix, catalase was expressed in bronchial epithelium and alveolar macrophages, gamma-GCS-h was expressed in bronchial epithelium and endothelium, and gamma-GCS-l was expressed in bronchial epithelium. Trx was restricted to bronchial epithelium and to a lesser extent to alveolar macrophages, and HO-1 found in alveolar macrophages. Basically, the expression of these enzymes was similar in normal and diseased lung. It can be concluded that various AOEs and related proteins differ in their distribution and expression in lung before term, but generally it seems that infants are better adapted to high oxygen tension than might be expected.

Abstract
Preterm neonates with respiratory distress are exposed not only to the relative hyperoxia ex utero, but also to life-saving mechanical ventilation with high inspired oxygen (O2) concentrations, which is considered a major risk factor for the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, also referred to as chronic lung disease of infancy. O2 toxicity is mediated through reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS are constantly generated as byproducts of normal cellular metabolism, but their production is increased in various pathological states, and also upon exposure to exogenous oxidants, such as hyperoxia. Antioxidants, either enzymatic or nonenzymatic, protect the lung against the deleterious effects of ROS. Expression of various pulmonary antioxidants is developmentally regulated in many species so that the expression is increased toward term gestation, as if in anticipation of birth into an O2-rich extrauterine environment. Therefore, the lungs of prematurely born infants may be ill-adapted for protection against ROS. While premature birth interrupts normal lung development, the clinical condition necessitating the administration of high inhaled O2 concentrations may lead to permanent impairment of alveolar development. An understanding of the processes involved in lung growth, especially in alveolarization and vascularization, as well as in repair of injured lung tissue, may facilitate development of strategies to enhance these processes.

Abstract
The lungs are directly exposed to higher oxygen concentrations than most other tissues. Increased oxidative stress is a significant part of the pathogenesis of obstructive lung diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, parenchymal lung diseases (e.g., idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and lung granulomatous diseases), and lung malignancies. Lung tissue is protected against these oxidants by a variety of antioxidant mechanisms among which the superoxide dismutases (SODs) are the only ones converting superoxide radicals to hydrogen peroxide. There are three SODs: cytosolic copper-zinc, mitochondrial manganese, and extracellular SODs. These enzymes have specific distributions and functions. Their importance in protecting lung tissue has been confirmed in transgenic and knockout animal studies. Relatively few studies have been conducted on these enzymes in the normal human lung or in human lung diseases. Most human studies suggest that there is induction of manganese SOD and, possibly, extracellular SOD during inflammatory, but not fibrotic, phases of parenchymal lung diseases and that both copper-zinc SOD and manganese SOD may be downregulated in asthmatic airways. Many previous antioxidant therapies have been disappointing, but newly characterized SOD mimetics are being shown to protect against oxidant-related lung disorders in animal models.

Abstract
There is increasing evidence that oxidative stress is implicated in the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Several important factors contribute to augmented oxidative stress in the newborn and especially the preterm infant: first, because of its immaturity, the lung of preterm infants is frequently exposed to oxygen therapy and hyperoxia. Second, the antioxidant defense and its ability to be induced during an hyperoxic challenge are impaired. Third, the preterm infant has an increased susceptibility to infection and inflammation, which increases oxidative stress. Fourth, free iron, which catalyzes the production of toxic reactive oxygen species, can be detected in preterm infants. The molecular and cellular mechanisms for free radical-induced injury are now understood in more detail, and it is clear that oxidative stress plays an important role in triggering apoptosis, in serving as second messenger and in signal transduction. This new insight might lead to novel and efficient therapies. So far, there has been no significant breakthrough regarding antioxidant therapies. Care should, however, be exercised in supplementing the preterm infant with antioxidants since this may affect growth and development.

Abstract
Superoxide anion and other oxygen-free radicals have been implicated in the pathogenesis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. We tested the hypothesis that a catalytic antioxidant metalloporphyrin AEOL 10113 can protect against hyperoxia-induced lung injury using a fetal baboon model of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Fetal baboons were delivered by hysterotomy at 140 days of gestation (term = 185 days) and given 100% oxygen for 10 days. Morphometric analysis of alveolar structure showed that fetal baboons on 100% oxygen alone had increased parenchymal mast cells and eosinophils, increased alveolar tissue volume and septal thickness, and decreased alveolar surface area compared with animals given oxygen as needed. Treatment with AEOL 10113 (continuous intravenous infusion) during 100% oxygen exposure partially reversed these oxygen-induced changes. Hyperoxia increased the number of neuroendocrine cells in the peripheral lung, which was preceded by increased levels of urine bombesin-like peptide at 48 hours of age. AEOL 10113 inhibited the hyperoxia-induced increases in urine bombesin-like peptide and numbers of neuroendocrine cells. An increasing trend in oxygenation index over time was observed in the 100% oxygen group but not the mimetic-treated group. These results suggest that AEOL 10113 might reduce the risk of pulmonary oxygen toxicity in prematurely born infants.

Abstract
Hyperoxic lung injury, believed to be mediated by reactive oxygen species, inflammatory cell activation, and release of cytotoxic cytokines, complicates the care of many critically ill patients. The cytokine tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha is induced in lungs exposed to high concentrations of oxygen; however, its contribution to hyperoxia-induced lung injury remains unclear. Both TNF-alpha treatment and blockade with anti-TNF antibodies increased survival in mice exposed to hyperoxia. In the current study, to determine if pulmonary oxygen toxicity is dependent on either of the TNF receptors, type I (TNFR-I) or type II (TNFR-II), TNFR-I or TNFR-II gene-ablated [(-/-)] mice and wild-type control mice (WT; C57BL/6) were studied in >95% oxygen. There was no difference in average length of survival, although early survival was better for TNFR-I(-/-) mice than for either TNFR-II(-/-) or WT mice. At 48 h of hyperoxia, slightly more alveolar septal thickening and peribronchiolar and periarteriolar edema were detected in WT than in TNFR-I(-/-) lungs. By 84 h of oxygen exposure, TNFR-I(-/-) mice demonstrated greater alveolar debris, inflammation, and edema than WT mice. TNFR-I was necessary for induction of cytokine interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-1 receptor antagonist, chemokine macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1beta, MIP-2, interferon-gamma-induced protein-10 (IP-10), and monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 mRNA in response to intratracheal administration of recombinant murine TNF-alpha. However, IL-1beta, IL-6, macrophage migration inhibitory factor, MIP-1alpha, MIP-2, and MCP-1 mRNAs were comparably induced by hyperoxia in TNFR-I(-/-) and WT lungs. In contrast, mRNA for manganese superoxide dismutase and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 were induced by hyperoxia only in WT mice. Differences in early survival and toxicity suggest that pulmonary oxygen toxicity is in part mediated by TNFR-I. However, induction of specific cytokine and chemokine mRNA and lethality in response to severe hyperoxia was independent of TNFR-I expression. The current study supports the prediction that therapeutic efforts to block TNF-alpha receptor function will not protect against pulmonary oxygen toxicity.

Abstract
The current limited understanding of the ontogeny and mechanisms of the metabolism of iron, zinc, copper, selenium, iodine, and manganese in the micropremie are reviewed. The effects of early delivery on these processes are considered, as are the suggested amounts of these trace elements required for micropremies.

Abstract
Immature organisms (neonates; <12 h old) have vastly differing responses to hyperoxic injury than adults. A common feature of hyperoxic gene regulation is involvement of activator protein (AP)-1. We evaluated lung AP-1 binding as well as that of the AP-1 subunit proteins c-Fos, c-Jun, phosphorylated c-Jun, Jun B, and Jun D after exposure to >95% O(2) for 3 days. Unlike adults, neonates showed no increased AP-1 binding in hyperoxia despite a high affinity of the AP-1 binding complexes for phosphorylated c-Jun and Jun D as demonstrated by supershift of these antibodies with the AP-1 complexes. Moreover, neonatal lungs exhibited two distinguishable AP-1 binding complexes, whereas adult lungs had one. In neonates, sequential immunoprecipitation revealed that the lower AP-1 complex was composed of proteins from both the Fos and Jun families, whereas the upper complex consisted of Jun family proteins, with predominance of Jun D. In adults, the single AP-1 complex appeared to involve other Fos or non-Fos or non-Jun family proteins as well. Neonatal lungs showed a higher level of Jun B and Jun D immunoreactive proteins in both air and hyperoxia compared with those in adult lungs. These results suggest that significant maturational differences in lung AP-1 complexes exist and that these may explain transcriptional differences in hyperoxic gene regulation.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of gestational age and oxygen exposure on superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities in distal fetal lung tissue in primate models of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. During the final third of fetal life, lung coppper-zinc SOD (Cu,ZnSOD) specific activity decreased, whereas lung manganese SOD (MnSOD) specific activity tended to increase. In the premature newborn (140 days, 78% of term gestation), lung total SOD and Cu,ZnSOD specific activities decreased after 6-10 days of ventilation with as needed [pro re nada (PRN)] or 100% oxygen compared with fetal control animals. Neither Cu,ZnSOD mRNA nor protein expression changed after either oxygen exposure at this gestation (140 days) relative to fetal control animals. At this age (6-10 days), lung MnSOD specific activity did not change in oxygen-exposed relative to fetal control animals, even though lung expression of MnSOD mRNA and protein increased after PRN or 100% oxygen exposure. In the very premature 125-day newborn (69% of term), lung Cu,ZnSOD specific activity and protein decreased, whereas Cu,ZnSOD mRNA increased, after 6-10 days of ventilation with PRN oxygen compared with fetal control animals. In fetal lung explants, hyperoxia also decreased expression of SOD activity acutely (16-h exposure, 125 and 140 days gestation). To conclude, expression of SOD activity in the premature primate lung did not increase in response to elevated oxygen tension, apparently due to effects occurring subsequent to the expression of these mRNAs.

Abstract
In recent years a body of data has accumulated, linking the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) to increased oxidative stress in the first few days after birth, since high concentrations of metabolites reflecting increased peroxidation products such as pentane, ethane, protein carbonyl, o-tyrosine, allantoin and F2-isoprostanes, as well as low levels of glutathione and sulfhydryl/total protein ratio, also reflecting increased oxidative load, have been found in the premature infants at risk of or developing BPD. Oxidative stress seems to increase lung antioxidants in some experimental models of BPD and hyperoxia affects foetal lung growth. There are similarities between inflammation and hypoxia/reoxygenation, since both activate a number of inflammatory mediators such as cytokines and adhesion molecules, some of which are found in high concentrations in tracheal aspirate fluid of infants developing BPD. Surfactant production and function are also altered by both hyperoxia and reactive oxygen species per se, making the lungs more vulnerable to injury. This new knowledge may result in new and more efficient therapeutic approaches, hopefully leading to the eradication of BPD in the near future.
