Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Porto-sinusoidal vascular disease (PSVD) is a rare disease that requires excluding cirrhosis and other causes of portal hypertension for its diagnosis because it lacks a specific diagnostical test. Although it has been occasionally associated with autoimmune diseases, the pathophysiology of PSVD remains unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential role of autoimmunity in the pathophysiology and diagnosis of PSVD. METHODS Thirty-seven consecutive patients with PSVD and 39 with cirrhosis matched by gender, signs of portal hypertension and liver function were included (training set). By using Indirect Immunofluorescence, ELISA and slot-blot methods data 22 autoantibodies were identified in patients with PSVD and cirrhosis. Presence of anti-endothelial cells antibodies (AECA) was assayed by a cell-based ELISA. Thirty-one PSVD, 40 cirrhosis patients, 15 patients with splenomegaly associated with haematological disease and 14 healthy donors were included in a validation set. FINDINGS The proportion of patients with at least one positive antibody was statistically significantly higher in patients with PSVD compared with cirrhosis (92% vs 56%; P < .01). Specifically, AECA were significantly more frequent in PSVD than in cirrhosis (38% vs 15%; P = .013). Results were confirmed in the validation set. In the overall population, presence of AECA had a 63% positive predictive value for diagnosing PSVD and a 71% negative predictive value, with a specificity of 94% when the 1/16 level is used as cut-off. AECA positive serum samples react with a 68-72 kDa protein of human liver endothelial sinusoidal cells.

Abstract
Background The degree by which mechanisms underlying phenotypic convergence are similar among taxa depends on the number of evolutionary paths available for selection to act upon. Likelihood of convergence will be influenced by an interplay of factors such as genetic architecture, phylogenetic history and population demography. To determine if there is convergence or divergence in mechanisms underlying phenotypic similarity, we assessed whether gene transcription patterns differed among species with similar levels of hypoxia tolerance. Results Three species of marine fish from the superfamily Cottoidea (smoothhead sculpin [Artedius lateralis], sailfin sculpin [Nautichthys oculofasciatus] and Pacific staghorn sculpin [Leptocottus armatus]), all of which have previously been shown to share the same level of hypoxia tolerance, were exposed to short-(8 h) and longer-term (72 h) hypoxia and mRNA transcripts were assessed using a custom microarray. We examined hypoxia-induced transcription patterns in metabolic and protein production pathways and found that a high proportion of genes associated with these biological processes showed significant differences among the species. Specifically, the data suggest that the smoothhead sculpin, unlike the sailfin sculpin and the Pacific staghorn sculpin, relied on amino acid degradation rather than glycolysis or fatty acid oxidation to generate ATP during hypoxia exposure. There was also variation across the species in the transcription of genes involved in protein production (e.g. mRNA processing and protein translation), such that it increased in the smoothhead sculpin, decreased in the sailfin sculpin and was variable in the Pacific staghorn sculpin. Conclusions Changes in metabolic and protein production pathways are part of the key responses of fishes to exposures to environmental hypoxia. Yet, species with similar overall hypoxia tolerance exhibited different transcriptional responses in these pathways, indicating flexibility and complexity of interactions in the evolution of the mechanisms underlying the hypoxia tolerance phenotype. The variation in the hypoxia-induced transcription of genes across species with similar hypoxia tolerance suggests that similar whole-animal phenotypes can emerge from divergent evolutionary paths that may affect metabolically important functions.

Abstract
Hypothermia (HT) is a well-established neuroprotective strategy against neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). The overexpression of heat shock proteins (HSP) has been shown to provide neuroprotection in animal models of stroke. We aimed to investigate the effect of HT on HSP70 and HSP27 expression in a neonatal rat model of HIE. Seven-day-old rat pups were exposed to hypoxia for 90 min to establish the Rice-Vannucci model and were assigned to the following four groups: hypoxic injury (HI)-normothermia (NT, 36 °C), HI-HT (30 °C), sham-NT, and sham-HT. After temperature intervention for 24 h, the mRNA and protein expression of HSP70 and HSP27 were measured. The association between HSP expression and brain injury severity was also evaluated. The brain infarct size was significantly smaller in the HI-HT group than in the HI-NT group. The mRNA and protein expression of both HSPs were significantly greater in the two HI groups, compared to those in the two sham groups. Moreover, among the rat pups subjected to HI, HT significantly reduced the mRNA and protein expression of both HSPs. The mRNA expression level of the HSPs was proportional to the brain injury severity. Post-ischemic HT, i.e., a cold shock attenuated the expression of HSP70 and HSP27 in a neonatal rat model of HIE. Our study suggests that neither HSP70 nor HSP27 expression is involved in the neuroprotective mechanism through which prolonged HT protects against neonatal HIE.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to reveal the effect of liver ischemia–reperfusion injury (LIRI) on the activity of selected neuronal phenotypes in rat brain by applying dual Fos-oxytocin (OXY), vasopressin (AVP), tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PNMT), corticoliberine (CRH), and neuropeptide Y (NPY) immunohistochemistry. Two liver ischemia–reperfusion models were investigated: (i) single ligation of the hepatic artery (LIRIa) for 30 min and (ii) combined ligation of the portal triad (the common hepatic artery, portal vein, and common bile duct) (LIRIb) for 15 min. The animals were killed 90 min, 5 h, and 24 h after reperfusion. Intact and sham operated rats served as controls. As indicated by semiquantitative estimation, increases in the number of Fos-positive cells mainly occurred 90 min after both liver reperfusion injuries, including activation of AVP and OXY perikarya in the hypothalamic paraventricular (PVN) and supraoptic (SON) nuclei, and TH, NPY, and PNMT perikarya in the catecholaminergic ventrolateral medullar A1/C1 area. Moreover, only PNMT perikarya located in the A1/C1 cell group exhibited increased Fos expression 5 h after LIRIb reperfusion. No or very low Fos expression was found 24 h after reperfusion in neuronal phenotypes studied. Our results show that both models of the LIRI activate, almost by the same effectiveness, a number of different neuronal phenotypes which stimulation may be associated with a complex of physiological responses induced by (1) surgery (NPY, TH, PNMT), (2) hemodynamic changes (AVP, OXY, TH, PNMT), (3) inflammation evoked by ischemia and subsequent reperfusion (TH), and (4) glucoprivation induced by fasting (NPY, PNMT, TH). All these events may contribute by different strength to the development of pathological alterations occurring during the liver ischemia–reperfusion injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ventilation with high positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) can lead to liver dysfunction. We hypothesized that an open lung concept (OLC) using high PEEP impairs liver function and integrity dependent on the stabilization of cardiac output. METHODS Juvenile female Pietrain pigs instrumented with flow probes around the common hepatic artery and portal vein, pulmonary and hepatic vein catheters underwent a lavage-induced lung injury. Ventilation was continued with a conventional approach (CON) using pre-defined combinations of PEEP and inspiratory oxygen fraction or with an OLC using PEEP set above the lower inflection point of the lung. Volume replacement with colloids was guided to maintain cardiac output in the CON(V+) and OLC(V+) groups or acceptable blood pressure and heart rate in the OLC(V-) group. Indocyanine green plasma disappearance rate (ICG-PDR), blood gases, liver-specific serum enzymes, bilirubin, hyaluronic acid and lactate were tested. Finally, liver tissue was examined for neutrophil accumulation, TUNEL staining, caspase-3 activity and heat shock protein 70 mRNA expression. RESULTS Hepatic venous oxygen saturation was reduced to 18 + or - 16% in the OLC(V-) group, while portal venous blood flow decreased by 45%. ICG-PDR was not reduced and serum enzymes, bilirubin and lactate were not elevated. Liver cell apoptosis was negligible. Liver sinusoids in the OLC(V+) and OLC(V-) groups showed about two- and fourfold more granulocytes than the CON(V+) group. Heat shock protein 70 tended to be higher in the OLC(V-) group. CONCLUSIONS Open lung ventilation elicited neutrophil infiltration, but no liver dysfunction even without the stabilization of cardiac output.

Abstract
We designed a randomized controlled study to identify and compare the liver tissue responses in systemic hypoxia and resuscitation with 21% and 100% oxygen using an animal model of neonatal hypoxia and reoxygenation. Twenty-seven piglets (1-3 days old, weight 1.5-2.0 kg) were acutely instrumented and mechanically ventilated. The animals underwent 2 h of normocapnic alveolar hypoxia (10-15% oxygen) then reoxygenation with 21% or 100% oxygen for 1 h, then 1 h with 21% oxygen. Controls were sham-operated without hypoxia-reoxygenation. After 2 h of reoxygenation liver tissue samples were immediately processed for histological and biochemical analyses of markers of oxidative stress and tissue injury. Two hours of hypoxia caused a significant reduction in mean arterial pressure with cardiogenic shock and metabolic acidemia, with similar recovery upon resuscitation with 21% and 100% oxygen. After 2 h of reoxygenation, the hepatic GSSG:total glutathione ratio and matrix metalloproteninase-9 activity, which correlated with the portal venous oxygenation at 15 min of reoxygenation, were greater in the 100% group and hepatic lactate level was higher in the 21% group than the controls (all P<0.05). Both hypoxic-reoxygenated groups had similarly elevated hepatic Bcl-2 levels. Apart from more non-distinct mitochondria identified in the 100% group, hepatic tissue adenylate energy charge and plasma transaminases levels did not differ among groups. We concluded that in this acute model of neonatal hypoxia and reoxygenation, resuscitation using 21% oxygen avoids the excess oxidative stress and elevated matrix metalloproteninase-9 activity in the liver when 100% oxygen was used. The study supports the conservative use of oxygen in optimizing post-hypoxic hepatic recovery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Innate immunity is the first line of host defense against invading microorganisms, which is mediated by specific pathogen recognition molecules called toll-like receptors (TLRs). TLRs can also recognize endogenous "danger" signals, resulting in cytokine production and activation of the adaptive immune system. We hypothesized that gene expression of TLRs during lung transplantation may be affected by the donor condition and the ischemia-reperfusion process, which may subsequently influence graft function. METHODS Lung biopsies from 14 patients were collected before and after reperfusion, and mRNA levels of TLRs, cytokines (interleukin [IL]-1beta, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 and interferon-gamma) and heat-shock protein 70 (HSP70) were measured by quantitative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RESULTS In cold-preserved donor lungs, all TLRs (except TLR3) showed significant correlations with one another and also with the cytokines examined. Expression of several TLRs and cytokines correlated with the intubation time of donors. TLR4 gene expression correlated closely with IL-8 before and after reperfusion (p </= 0.01). After reperfusion, HSP70 mRNAs increased significantly (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Differential expression levels of TLRs and cytokine genes likely reflect the inflammatory status of lung grafts; correlation of TLR genes with cytokine genes and clinical conditions implicates a potential role of TLRs in early graft responses.

Abstract
This experimental study was designed to analyze the expression of heat shock protein (HSP) in hepatic tissue induced by acute and adaptive hypoxic hypoxia. Rabbits were exposed to 5000 m simulated altitude at 11% O(2) in a chamber. Total antioxidant status (TAS) plasma content showed a significant decrease in the acute and adaptive hypoxia groups compared with the control group. Regarding TAS, there was no statistically significant difference between the acute and adaptive hypoxia groups. Histopathological evidence of liver injury was observed in study groups. Immunohistochemical analysis showed diffuse HSP70 staining in the hepatocytes in acute hypoxia group. Staining was focal and prominent in pericentral hepatocytes in the adaptive hypoxia group. As HSP expression appeared increased, total injury score increased as well. There was an inverse correlation between HSP and TAS, but it did not reach statistical value. Our results confirmed the expression of HSP in hepatic tissue related to defense against cellular injury in a hypoxia model. It is an early response in acute hypoxia and may decrease in adaptive hypoxia. It seems that HSP is induced, rather than protectively, as an early marker of liver injury. HSP70 induction and overexpression seem to be, at least in part, explained by impaired antioxidant defense mechanisms.

Abstract
We focused on heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) as a marker of viability in hepatic warm ischemia-reperfusion. Segmental hepatic warm ischemia was produced in rats for 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, or 180 min. Liver sections were evaluated at 30, 60, and 120 min of reperfusion. Expression of HSP70 and messenger RNA (mRNA), apoptosis, and apoptosis-associated genes such as Bcl-2 and Bax were studied. Expression of HSP70 and mRNA was augmented as warm ischemia was prolonged, but was markedly suppressed in livers with more than 120 min of ischemia. The highest accumulation of HSP70 was observed in the nucleus. In livers subjected to longer duration of warm ischemia, necrosis and apoptosis were evident and Bcl-2 mRNA expression and Bcl-2/Bax protein ratio were markedly diminished. Apoptosis may be related to the process of cellular injury induced by warm ischemia-reperfusion. Expression of HSP70 and the Bcl-2 family can be effective markers of viability in hepatic warm ischemia-reperfusion.

Abstract
The role of nitric oxide (NO) in maintaining homeostasis and regulating organ function during hemorrhagic shock is complex. The inducible NO synthase (iNOS) has been hypothesized to play a critical role in the pathophysiologic consequences of severe hemorrhage. Heat shock protein (HSP) expression is increased by hemorrhage and is a marker of the magnitude of ischemic injury in the liver. HSP induction is protective against injury in animal models of inflammation and is regulated by NO in hepatocytes. To clarify the role of iNOS in hepatic injury and its relationship to HSP expression in hemorrhagic shock, NOS was inhibited with L-N-6-(1-iminoethyl) lysine (L-NIL), which is reported to be a selective inhibitor of the inducible NOS isoform. Doses of 50 microg/kg or 150 microg/kg were infused over 1 h at the end of compensated shock. Plasma ornithine carbamoyltransferase (OCT), a specific marker of liver injury, was significantly reduced after hemorrhage with low-dose L-NIL (7.1+/-1.5 IU/L) compared to saline-treated control rats (13.0+/-1.5 IU/L, P < 0.005), while high-dose L-NIL significantly increased OCT release (35.9+/-7.2 IU/L, P< 0.05 versus shock alone) despite a greater MAP after resuscitation. HSP expression (HSP-72 and HSP-32) after hemorrhage was increased by L-NIL treatment at the highest dose. We conclude that excessive NO production from iNOS contributes to shock-induced hepatic injury. Our data suggest HSP expression may reflect the degree of ischemic injury after hemorrhage.

Abstract
Despite the considerable advances made in understanding the pathophysiology of systemic inflammation during critical illness, clinical progress has been elusive as it remains a very deadly condition. Cortisol and thyroid hormone levels can be as predictive of outcome as the commonly used severity parameters (i.e. APACHE). Indeed, levels of endocrine humoral substances such as arachidonic acids, nitric oxide, endothelin, calcitonin precursors, leptin and adenosine correlate with the severity and outcome of critical illness. Furthermore, calcitonin precursors represent a potentially new hormokine paradigm, being transcriptionally activated in all cells in response to infection. The cytokines are immune markers that often correlate with severity and outcome, but their release is transient. In contrast, the so-called acute phase proteins, such as C-reactive protein and serum amyloid A, are highly sensitive to inflammatory activity and can be important markers of severity and outcome. Leukocyte esterase, adhesion molecules, platelet activating factor and activated protein C are additional humoral immune markers; the replacement of the latter has been shown to be a promising therapeutic option. Natriuretic peptides are neurocrine humoral markers that have important cardiovascular implications. The level of macrophage migrating inhibitory factor, released by the pituitary, is elevated in sepsis and counteracts glucocorticoid action. Cellular markers to severe stress include the enhanced expression of protective substances in the form of heat shock proteins. High mobility group-1 is a DNA-binding protein and a late mediator of the inflammatory response. Apoptotic markers such as the soluble fas ligand are also elevated in inflammation. In summary, during critical illness, the endocrine, immune and nervous systems elaborate a multitude of humoral markers, the roles of which merit further scrutiny in order to improve therapeutic outcome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the heat shock protein (HSP) 72 expression and apoptosis induced by hydrogen peroxide in hypoxic rat liver. DESIGN Prospective control study using the isolated rat liver. SETTING Animal research facility. SUBJECTS Fasted, pathogen-free specific, male Sprague-Dawley rats. INTERVENTIONS A low-flow hypoxia model was made by reducing an afferent pressure from 10 to 2.5 cm H2O, and by perfusing the isolated rat liver for 2 hrs. MEASUREMENT AND MAIN RESULTS We investigated the hydrogen peroxide production by using the 2'-7' dichlorofluorescein image, the induction of HSP 72 by using immunohistochemistry, and apoptosis by using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-digoxigenin nick end-labeling method in the low flow hypoxic rat liver. In low-flow hypoxia, hydrogen peroxide production, HSP 72 expression, and apoptosis were induced in the midzone of rat liver. Prevalence of HSP 72 expression was higher in the sinusoidal endothelial cells (SEC) than in the hepatocytes. All apoptotic cells were SEC with expression of HSP 72. Hydrogen peroxide was derived from hepatocytes. Pretreatment with the specific xanthine oxidase inhibitor, sodium(-)-8-(3-methoxy-phenylsulfinylphenyl) pyrazolo [1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine-4-olate monohydrate significantly attenuated hydrogen peroxide production, HSP 72 expression, and apoptosis of SEC in the midzone. CONCLUSION Xanthine oxidase-dependent hydrogen peroxide induces midzonal and SEC-dominant HSP 72 expression and apoptosis in hypoxic rat liver.

Abstract
Although studies have shown that induction of the heat shock proteins (HSPs), such as HSP-70, has various beneficial effects after ischemia-reperfusion, it remains unknown whether prior induction of HSP-70 has any salutary effects on cardiovascular and hepatocellular functions after trauma-hemorrhage and resuscitation. Male rats were exposed to heat stress (41 degrees C, 15 min) and then allowed to recover for 24 h at room temperature (21 degrees C). The rats then underwent laparotomy (i.e., trauma induced) and were bled to and maintained at a mean arterial pressure of 40 mmHg until 40% of the maximal shed blood volume was returned in the form of Ringer lactate. Animals were then resuscitated with four times the volume of shed blood with Ringer lactate over 60 min. The maximal rate of the left ventricular pressure increase or decrease was measured up to 4 h after resuscitation. Cardiac output, hepatocellular function, plasma levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were determined at 4 h after resuscitation. Cardiac and hepatic tissue were examined for HSP-70 by Western blot analysis. Left ventricular performance, cardiac output, and hepatocellular function decreased significantly following trauma-hemorrhage. Plasma levels of TNF-alpha and IL-6 were also significantly increased. However, prior heat stress attenuated cardiovascular and hepatocellular dysfunction, decreased circulating levels of proinflammatory cytokines following trauma-hemorrhage, and was associated with an increased abundance of HSP-70 in the heart and liver. Our data, therefore, suggest that preinduction of HSP-70 protects cardiovascular and hepatocellular functions following trauma-hemorrhage and resuscitation.
