Abstract
Background Shedding of the endothelial glycocalyx can be observed regularly during sepsis. Moreover, sepsis may be associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which requires lung protective ventilation with the two cornerstones of application of low tidal volume and positive end-expiratory pressure. This study investigated the effect of a lung protective ventilation on the integrity of the endothelial glycocalyx in comparison to a high tidal volume ventilation mode in a porcine model of sepsis-induced ARDS. Methods After approval by the State and Institutional Animal Care Committee, 20 male pigs were anesthetized and received a continuous infusion of lipopolysaccharide to induce septic shock. The animals were randomly assigned to either low tidal volume ventilation, high tidal volume ventilation, or no-LPS-group groups and observed for 6 h. In addition to the gas exchange parameters and hematologic analyses, the serum hyaluronic acid concentrations were determined from central venous blood and from pre- and postpulmonary and pre- and postcerebral circulation. Post-mortem analysis included histopathological evaluation and determination of the pulmonary and cerebral wet-to-dry ratios. Results Both sepsis groups developed ARDS within 6 h of the experiment and showed significantly increased serum levels of hyaluronic acid in comparison to the no-LPS-group. No significant differences in the hyaluronic acid concentrations were detected before and after pulmonary and cerebral circulation. There was also no significant difference in the serum hyaluronic acid concentrations between the two sepsis groups. Post-mortem analysis showed no significant difference between the two sepsis groups. Conclusion In a porcine model of septic shock and ARDS, the serum hyaluronic acid levels were significantly elevated in both sepsis groups in comparison to the no-LPS-group. Intergroup comparison between lung protective ventilated and high tidal ventilated animals revealed no significant differences in the serum hyaluronic acid levels.

Enhanced Ocular Surface and Intraoral Nociception via a Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 Mechanism in a Rat Model of Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Neuroscience 2021; 483:66-81. [PMID: 34883200 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroscience.2021.12.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2021] [Revised: 11/29/2021] [Accepted: 12/01/2021] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), characterized by low arterial oxygen saturation during sleep, is associated with an increased risk of orofacial pain. In this study, we simulated chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) during the sleep/rest phase (light phase) to determine the role of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) in mediating enhanced orofacial nocifensive behavior and trigeminal spinal subnucleus caudalis (Vc) neuronal responses to capsaicin (a TRPV1 agonist) stimulation in a rat model of OSA. Rats were subjected to CIH (nadir O2, 5%) during the light phase for 8 or 16 consecutive days. CIH yielded enhanced behavioral responses to capsaicin after application to the ocular surface and intraoral mucosa, which was reversed under normoxic conditions. The percentage of TRPV1-immunoreactive trigeminal ganglion neurons was greater in CIH rats than in normoxic rats and recovered under normoxic conditions after CIH. The ratio of large-sized TRPV1-immunoreactive trigeminal ganglion neurons increased in CIH rats. The density of TRPV1 positive primary afferent terminals in the superficial laminae of Vc was higher in CIH rats. Phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (pERK)-immunoreactive cells intermingled with the central terminal of TRPV1-positive afferents in the Vc. The number of pERK-immunoreactive cells following low-dose capsaicin (0.33 µM) application to the tongue was significantly greater in the middle portion of the Vc of CIH rats than of normoxic rats and recovered under normoxic conditions after CIH. These data suggest that CIH during the sleep (light) phase is sufficient to transiently enhance pain on the ocular surface and intraoral mucosa via TRPV1-dependent mechanisms.

Minimal effects from a single exposure to sevoflurane in adult male and female Sprague-Dawley rats. Neurotoxicol Teratol 2021; 84:106955.

Abstract
Many people undergo procedures requiring general anesthesia each day and adverse cognitive effects have been reported in response to that anesthesia. Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction (POCD) may occur in as many as 80% of adults during the first post-surgical week and can have lasting effects. Here, the cognitive and motor effects of sevoflurane exposure in Sprague-Dawley rats was examined along with body weights, blood oxygen saturation, heart rate, and body temperature. Male and female rats were exposed to 2.5% sevoflurane or medical grade air for one hour at postnatal day 115. Beginning the following day, rats began a series of behavioral tests examining locomotor activity, motor coordination, novel object recognition, and spatial learning and memory in a water maze. Blood oxygen saturation, heart rate, and body temperature were not affected by the sevoflurane exposure. A slight effect on locomotor activity was detected, but no effects on motor coordination, novel object recognition, or spatial learning and memory were observed. Brain weights following behavioral testing did not differ. The results reported here along with existing literature suggest sevoflurane is largely without effects on later cognition in adult rodents when exposure is of a relatively short duration and at a relatively low concentration.

Pulm Circ 2020; 10:50-58.

Abstract
Reabsorption of excess alveolar fluid is driven by vectorial Na+-transport across alveolar epithelium, which protects from alveolar flooding and facilitates gas exchange. Hypoxia inhibits Na+-reabsorption in cultured cells and in-vivo by decreasing activity of epithelial Na+-channels (ENaC), which impairs alveolar fluid clearance. Inhibition also occurs during in-vivo hypoxia in humans and laboratory animals. Signaling mechanisms that inhibit alveolar reabsorption are poorly understood. Because cellular adaptation to hypoxia is regulated by hypoxia-inducible transcription factors (HIF), we tested whether HIFs are involved in decreasing Na+-transport in hypoxic alveolar epithelium. Expression of HIFs was suppressed in cultured rat primary alveolar epithelial cells (AEC) with shRNAs. Hypoxia (1.5% O2, 24 h) decreased amiloride-sensitive transepithelial Na+-transport, decreased the mRNA expression of α-, β-, and γ-ENaC subunits, and reduced the amount of αβγ-ENaC subunits in the apical plasma membrane. Silencing HIF-2α partially prevented impaired fluid reabsorption in hypoxic rats and prevented the hypoxia-induced decrease in α- but not the βγ-subunits of ENaC protein expression resulting in a less active form of ENaC in hypoxic AEC. Inhibition of alveolar reabsorption also caused pulmonary vasoconstriction in ventilated rats. These results indicate that a HIF-2α-dependent decrease in Na+-transport in hypoxic alveolar epithelium decreases alveolar reabsorption. Because susceptibles to high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) have decreased Na+-transport even in normoxia, inhibition of alveolar reabsorption by hypoxia at high altitude might further impair alveolar gas exchange. Thus, aggravated hypoxemia might further enhance hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction and might subsequently cause HAPE.

Abstract
Influenza remains one of the major epidemic diseases worldwide. Acute lung injury mainly caused by excessive pro-inflammatory host immune responses leads to high mortality rates in severe influenza patients. Galectin-1, an animal lectin ubiquitously expressed in mammalian tissues, is reported to play important roles in viral diseases. Here, we established murine and A549 cell models to explore the potential roles of galectin-1 treatment in H1N1pdm09-induced acute lung injury. We found that galectin-1 protein level was elevated in A549 cell culture supernatants and mouse BALF after H1N1pdm09 challenge. In vivo experiments showed recombinant galectin-1 treatment reduced wet/dry weight ratio, inflammatory cell infiltration in mouse lungs and mediated the expression of cytokines and chemokines including IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12(p40), IL-12(p70), G-CSF, MCP-1, MIP-1α and RANTES in serum and BALF of infected mice. Reduced apoptosis and viral titers in mouse lungs were also found after galectin-1 treatment. As expected, galectin-1 treated mice performed reduced body weight loss and enhanced survival rate against H1N1pdm09 challenge. In addition, in vitro experiments showed that viral titers decreased in a dose-dependent manner and cell apoptosis in A549 cells reduced after recombinant galectin-1 treatment. Taken together, our findings indicate a potentially positive effect of Gal-1 treatment on ameliorating the progress of H1N1pdm09-induced acute lung injury and recombinant galectin-1 might serve as a new agent in treating influenza.

Abstract
Clinically evident high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) is characterized by severe cyanosis, dyspnea, cough, and difficulty with physical exertion. This usually occurs within 1-2 days of ascent often with the additional stresses of any exercise and hypoventilation of sleep. The earliest events in evolving HAPE progress through clinically silent and then minimally recognized problems. The most important of these events involves an exaggerated elevation of pulmonary artery (PA) pressure in response to the ambient hypoxia. Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) is a rapid response with several phases. The first phase in both resistance arterioles and venules occurs within 5-10 min. This is followed by a second phase that further raises PA pressure by another 100% over the next 2-8 h. Combined with vasoconstriction and likely an unevenness in the regional strength of HPV, pressures in some microvascular regions with lesser arterial constriction rise to a level that initiates greater filtration of fluid into the interstitium. As pressures continue to rise local lymphatic clearance rates are exceeded and interstitial fluid begins to accumulate. Beyond elevation of transmural pressure gradients there is a dynamic noninjurious relaxation of microvascular and epithelial cell-cell contacts and an increase in transcellular vesicular transport which accelerate leakage. At some point with further pressure elevation, damage occurs with breaks of the barrier and bleeding into the alveolar space, a late-stage situation termed capillary stress failure. Earlier before there is fluid accumulation, alveolar hypoxia and hyperventilation-induced hypocapnia reduce the capacity of the alveolar epithelium to reabsorb sodium and water back into the interstitial space. More modest ascent which slows the rate of rise in PA pressure and allows for adaptive remodeling of the microvasculature, drugs which lower PA pressure, and those that can enhance fluid reabsorption will all forestall the deleterious early rise of microvascular pressures and diminished active alveolar fluid reabsorption that precede and underlie the development of HAPE.

Abstract
Individuals ascending rapidly to altitudes >2500 m may develop symptoms of acute mountain sickness (AMS) within a few hours of arrival and/or high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE), which occurs typically during the first three days after reaching altitudes above 3000-3500 m. Both diseases have distinct pathologies, but both present with a pronounced decrease in oxygen saturation of hemoglobin in arterial blood (SO2). This raises the question of mechanisms impairing the diffusion of oxygen (O2) across the alveolar wall and whether the higher degree of hypoxemia is in causal relationship with developing the respective symptoms. In an attempt to answer these questions this article will review factors affecting alveolar gas diffusion, such as alveolar ventilation, the alveolar-to-arterial O2-gradient, and balance between filtration of fluid into the alveolar space and its clearance, and relate them to the respective disease. The resultant analysis reveals that in both AMS and HAPE the main pathophysiologic mechanisms are activated before aggravated decrease in SO2 occurs, indicating that impaired alveolar epithelial function and the resultant diffusion limitation for oxygen may rather be a consequence, not the primary cause, of these altitude-related illnesses.

Abstract
Oxygen diffusion across the alveolar wall is compromised by low alveolar oxygen but also by pulmonary edema, and leads to hypoxemia and hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV). To test, whether inhibition of alveolar fluid reabsorption results in an increased pulmonary arterial pressure and whether this effect enhances HPV, we established a model, where anesthetized rats were ventilated with normoxic (21% O2) and hypoxic (13.5% O2) gas received aerosolized amiloride and lipopolisaccharide (LPS) to inhibit alveolar fluid reabsorption. Right ventricular systolic pressure (RVsP) was measured as an indicator of pulmonary arterial pressure. Oxygen pressure (PaO2) and saturation (SaO2) in femoral arterial blood served as indicator of oxygen diffusion across the alveolar wall. Aerosolized amiloride and bacterial LPS decreased PaO2 and SaO2 and increased RVsP even when animals were ventilated with normoxic gas. Ventilation with hypoxic gas decreased PaO2 by 35 mmHg and increased RVsP by 10 mmHg. However, combining hypoxia with amiloride and LPS did not aggravate the decrease in PaO2 and SaO2 and had no effect on the increase in RVsP relative to hypoxia alone. There was a direct relation between SaO2 and PaO2 and the RVsP under all experimental conditions. Two hours but not 1 h exposure to aerosolized amiloride and LPS in normoxia as well as hypoxia increased the lung wet-to-dry-weight ratio indicating edema formation. Together these findings indicate that inhibition of alveolar reabsorption causes pulmonary edema, impairs oxygen diffusion across the alveolar wall, and leads to an increased pulmonary arterial pressure.
