Abstract
Hemorrhagic shock (HS) is one of the main causes of morbidity and death in patients with trauma or major surgery. Cardiac dysfunction is a well-known complication of HS. PRG4, also known as lubricin, is a mucin-like glycoprotein that plays anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic roles in a variety of diseases. In this study, we aimed to explore the cardioprotective efficacy of PRG4 in HS-induced cardiac injury. Employing the HS model and RNA-seq, we found that PRG4 was increased in the myocardial tissue of rats after HS. In vivo studies suggested that HS led to abnormal hemodynamic parameters and increased cTnI levels, and PRG4 overexpression effectively reversed these changes. PRG4 also suppressed HS-induced mitochondrial disorders, as reflected by increased mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), ATP and mitochondria cytochrome c, COXIV and TOM20, as well as decreased BNIP3L and cytoplasmic cytochrome c. Furthermore, HS led to enhanced oxidative stress, as evidenced by upregulated ROS and MDA contents, and downregulated SOD and CAT activities, and these alterations were negated by PRG4 overexpression. Notably, PRG4 repressed the NLRP3-mediated pyroptosis pathway, as illustrated by decreased NLRP3 levels, caspase-1 activity and GSDMD-NT levels. In summary, these observations indicate that PRG4 overexpression protects against HS-induced cardiac dysfunction by inhibiting mitochondrial dysregulation, oxidative stress and NLRP3-mediated pyroptosis.

Abstract
Coronary microvascular disease (CMD) and impaired coronary blood flow control are defects that occur early in the pathogenesis of heart failure in cardiometabolic conditions, prior to the onset of atherosclerosis. In fact, recent studies have shown that CMD is an independent predictor of cardiac morbidity and mortality in patients with obesity and metabolic disease. CMD is comprised of functional, structural, and mechanical impairments that synergize and ultimately reduce coronary blood flow in metabolic disease and in other co-morbid conditions, including transplant, autoimmune disorders, chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity, and remote injury-induced CMD. This review summarizes the contemporary state-of-the-field related to CMD in metabolic and these other co-morbid conditions based on mechanistic data derived mostly from preclinical small- and large-animal models in light of available clinical evidence and given the limitations of studying these mechanisms in humans. In addition, we also discuss gaps in current understanding, emerging areas of interest, and opportunities for future investigations in this field.

Effect of remote ischemic conditioning on the immune-inflammatory profile in patients with traumatic hemorrhagic shock in a randomized controlled trial. Sci Rep 2023; 13:7025. [PMID: 37120600 PMCID: PMC10148877 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-33681-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2023] [Accepted: 04/17/2023] [Indexed: 05/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Resuscitation induced ischemia/reperfusion predisposes trauma patients to systemic inflammation and organ dysfunction. We investigated the effect of remote ischemic conditioning (RIC), a treatment shown to prevent ischemia/reperfusion injury in experimental models of hemorrhagic shock/resuscitation, on the systemic immune-inflammatory profile in trauma patients in a randomized trial. We conducted a prospective, single-centre, double-blind, randomized, controlled trial involving trauma patients sustaining blunt or penetrating trauma in hemorrhagic shock admitted to a Level 1 trauma centre. Patients were randomized to receive RIC (four cycles of 5-min pressure cuff inflation at 250 mmHg and deflation on the thigh) or a Sham intervention. The primary outcomes were neutrophil oxidative burst activity, cellular adhesion molecule expression, and plasma levels of myeloperoxidase, cytokines and chemokines in peripheral blood samples, drawn at admission (pre-intervention), 1 h, 3 h, and 24 h post-admission. Secondary outcomes included ventilator, ICU and hospital free days, incidence of nosocomial infections, 24 h and 28 day mortality. 50 eligible patients were randomized; of which 21 in the Sham group and 18 in the RIC group were included in the full analysis. No treatment effect was observed between Sham and RIC groups for neutrophil oxidative burst activity, adhesion molecule expression, and plasma levels of myeloperoxidase and cytokines. RIC prevented significant increases in Th2 chemokines TARC/CCL17 (P < 0.01) and MDC/CCL22 (P < 0.05) at 24 h post-intervention in comparison to the Sham group. Secondary clinical outcomes were not different between groups. No adverse events in relation to the RIC intervention were observed. Administration of RIC was safe and did not adversely affect clinical outcomes. While trauma itself modified several immunoregulatory markers, RIC failed to alter expression of the majority of markers. However, RIC may influence Th2 chemokine expression in the post resuscitation period. Further investigation into the immunomodulatory effects of RIC in traumatic injuries and their impact on clinical outcomes is warranted.ClinicalTrials.gov number: NCT02071290.

Elamipretide mitigates ischemia-reperfusion injury in a swine model of hemorrhagic shock. Sci Rep 2023; 13:4496.

Abstract
ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) after hemorrhage is potentiated by aortic occlusion or resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA). Given the central role of mitochondrial injury in shock, we hypothesized that Elamipretide, a peptide that protects mitochondria, would mitigate IRI after hemorrhagic shock and REBOA. Twelve pigs were subjected to hemorrhagic shock and 45 min of REBOA. After 25 min of REBOA, animals received either saline or Elamipretide. Animals were transfused with autologous blood during balloon deflation, and pigs were resuscitated with isotonic crystalloids and norepinephrine for 4.25 h. Elamipretide-treated animals required less crystalloids than the controls (62.5 [50-90] and 25 [5-30] mL/kg, respectively), but similar amounts of norepinephrine (24.7 [8.6-39.3] and 9.7 [2.1-12.5] mcg/kg, respectively). Treatment animals had a significant reduction in serum creatinine (control: 2.7 [2.6-2.8]; Elamipretide: 2.4 [2.4-2.5] mg/dL; p = 0.04), troponin (control: 3.20 [2.14-5.47] ng/mL, Elamipretide: 0.22 [0.1-1.91] ng/mL; p = 0.03), and interleukin-6 concentrations at the end of the study. There were no differences in final plasma lactate concentration. Elamipretide reduced fluid requirements and protected the kidney and heart after profound IRI. Further understanding the subcellular consequences of REBOA and mitochondrial rescue will open new therapeutic avenues for patients suffering from IRI after hemorrhage.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke is one of the major disabling health-care problem and multiple different approaches are needed to enhance rehabilitation, in which neural repair is the structural basement. Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is a strategy to trigger endogenous protect. RIC has been reported to play neuroprotective role in acute stage of stroke, but the effect of RIC on repair process remaining unclear. Several studies have discovered some overlapped mechanisms RIC and neural repair performs. This review provides a hypothesis that RIC is a potential therapeutic strategy on stroke rehabilitation by evaluating the existing evidence and puts forward some remaining questions to clarify and future researches to be performed in the field.

Abstract
PURPOSE Midgut volvulus is associated with intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury and can progress to severe intestinal damage. Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) reduces IR-induced injury in distant organs. The aim of this study was to investigate whether RIC protects the intestine from IR injury. METHODS We investigated intestinal IR injury in 3 weeks old SD rats. Animals underwent: (i) sham laparotomy, (ii) intestinal IR injury, (iii) intestinal IR + RIC during ischemia, or (iv) intestinal IR + RIC after reperfusion. Intestinal IR injury was achieved by 45 min occlusion of superior mesenteric artery followed by de-occlusion. RIC was administered via four cycles of 5 min of hind limb ischemia followed by 5 min reperfusion. Animals were sacrificed 24 h after surgery and the ileum was harvested for evaluation. RESULTS Intestinal injury was present after IR. However, this injury was reduced in both IR + RIC groups. Expression of inflammatory cytokine IL6 was lower in IR + RIC groups compared to IR alone. Carbonyl protein was also significantly lower in IR + RIC compared to IR, indicating lower oxidative stress in both IR + RIC groups. CONCLUSION Remote ischemic conditioning attenuated intestinal injury, inflammation, and oxidative stress in experimental intestinal ischemia/reperfusion injury. Remote ischemic conditioning may be useful in children with midgut volvulus to reduce the intestinal injury. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Experimental study. TYPE OF STUDY Animal experiment.

Abstract
Since the discovery of ischemic pre- and post-conditioning, more than 30 years ago, the knowledge about the mechanisms and signaling pathways involved in these processes has significantly increased. In clinical practice, on the other hand, such advancement has yet to be seen. This article provides an overview of ischemic pre-, post-, remote, and pharmacological conditioning related to the heart. In addition, we reviewed the cardioprotective signaling pathways and therapeutic agents involved in the above-mentioned processes, aiming to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the advancements in the field. The advancements made over the last decades cannot be ignored and with the exponential growth in techniques and applications. The future of pre- and post-conditioning is promising.

Abstract
Although remote ischemic postconditioning (RIPC) was shown to confer cardioprotection against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in normal animals, whether RIPC-induced cardioprotection is altered in the presence of hypercholesterolemia, a comorbidity with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients has yet to be determined. Normal or 2% cholesterol chow was fed to male C57BL/6J mice for 12 weeks to induce hypercholesterolemia, then normal or hypercholesterolemic murine hearts were exposed to AMI by coronary artery ligation. RIPC was induced by four episodes of 5 min femoral artery occlusion followed by 5 min reperfusion immediately after myocardial reperfusion in mice. Following I/R, RIPC significantly attenuated postischemic infarct size, hindered cardiomyocyte apoptosis, improved cardiac systolic function, decreased phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten (PTEN) expression, and further increased Akt and GSK-3β phosphorylation in non-hypercholesterolemic, but not in hypercholesterolemic mice. Application of the PTEN inhibitor bisperoxovanadium (BpV) (1.0 mg/kg) reduced postischemic infarct size, attenuated cardiomyocyte apoptosis, and improved cardiac dysfunction in normal, but not in hypercholesterolemic mice. Further, increased dose of BpV (2 mg/kg or 10 mg/kg) failed to rescue the detrimental effects of hypercholesterolemia on I/R in mice following I/R. Especially important, we demonstrated that the combination BpV and RIPC exerted marked cardioprotective effects both in normal and hypercholesterolemic mice with I/R, indicating that PTEN inhibition restores RIPC-elicited myocardial protection in the presence of hypercholesterolemia. Our results demonstrated that hypercholesterolemia attenuated RIPC-induced cardioprotection against I/R injury by alteration of PTEN/Akt/GSK3β signals, and inhibition of PTEN rescued RIPC-induced cardioprotection in the presence of hypercholesterolemia.

Abstract
PURPOSE We investigated whether bilateral, lower limb remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) improved long-term survival using a rat model of hemorrhagic shock/resuscitation. METHODS Rats were anesthetized, intubated and ventilated, and randomly assigned to RIPC, induced by inflating bilateral pressure cuffs around the femoral arteries to 200 mmHg for 5 min, followed by 5-min release of the cuffs (repeated for 4 cycles), or control group (cuffs were inflated to 30 mmHg). Hemorrhagic shock was induced by withdrawing blood to a fixed mean blood pressure of 30 mmHg for 30 min, followed by 30 min of resuscitation with shed blood. Rats remained anesthetized for 1 h during which hemodynamics were monitored then they were allowed to survive for 6 weeks. RESULTS The percentage of estimated total blood volume withdrawn to maintain a level of 30 mmHg was similar in both groups. RIPC significantly increased survival at 6 weeks: 5 of 27 (19%) rats in the control group and 13 of 26 (50%; p = 0.02) rats in the RIPC group survived. Blood pressure was higher in the RIPC group. The diastolic internal dimension of the left ventricle, an indicator of circulating intravascular blood volume, was significantly larger in the RIPC group at 1 h after initiation of resuscitation compared to the control group (p = 0.04). Left ventricular function assessed by fractional shortening was comparable in both groups at 1 h after initiation of resuscitation. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) was within normal range in the RIPC group (17.3 ± 1.2 mg/dl) but elevated in the control group (22.0 ± 1.7 mg/dl) at 48 h after shock. CONCLUSIONS RIPC significantly improved short-term survival in rats that were subjected to hemorrhagic shock, and this benefit was maintained long term. RIPC led to greater circulating intravascular blood volume in the early phase of resuscitation and improved BUN.

Abstract
PURPOSE We investigated the protective effects and the underlying mechanisms through which recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide (rhBNP) acts on postresuscitation myocardial dysfunction (PRMD) in the cardiac arrest (CA) model. METHODS Ventricular fibrillation was induced and untreated for 6 min. And the time of cardiopulmonary resuscitation was 8 min, after which defibrillation was attempted in this rat model. 24 Sprague Dawley rats (450-550g) were randomized into cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) + rhBNP and CPR + placebo groups after restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). rhBNP was infused at PR 30 min (loading dose: 1.5 µg/kg, 3 min; maintenance dose: 0.01 µg/kg, 3 min; maintenance dose: 0.01 α (TNF-α (TNF-α (TNF-κB (NF-κB (NF. RESULTS The administration of rhBNP attenuated the severity of PRMD and myocardial tissue injuries, with improvement of MAP (mean arterial blood pressure), ETCO2 (end-tidal CO2), serum level of NT-proBNP, EF, CO, and MPI values. The serum levels and protein expression levels in myocardial tissue of IL-6 and TNF-α (TNF-κB (NF. CONCLUSION Our research demonstrated that the administration of rhBNP attenuated the severity of PRMD and myocardial tissue injuries and increased the 24 h survival rate in this CA model. rhBNP administration also reduced the serum and myocardial tissue levels of IL-6 and TNF-α after ROSC, likely due to the suppression of the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway and the regulation of inflammatory mediator secretion.α (TNF-κB (NF.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke is one of the most common cerebrovascular diseases and is the leading cause of disability all over the world. It is well known that cerebral blood flow (CBF) is disturbed or even disrupted when ischemic stroke happens. The imbalance between demand and shortage of blood supply makes ischemic stroke take place or worsen. The search for treatments that can preserve CBF, especially during the acute phase of ischemic stroke, has become a research hotspot. Animal and clinical experiments have proven that remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is a beneficial therapeutic strategy for the treatment of ischemic stroke. However, the mechanism by which RIC affects CBF has not been fully understood. This review aims to discuss several possible mechanisms of RIC on the cerebral hemodynamics in ischemic stroke, such as the improvement of cardiac function and collateral circulation of cerebral vessels, the protection of neurovascular units, the formation of gas molecules, the effect on the function of vascular endothelial cells and the nervous system. RIC has the potential to become a therapeutic treatment to improve CBF in ischemic stroke. Future studies are needed to highlight our understanding of RIC as well as accelerate its clinical translation.

Exp Ther Med 2019; 19:99-106. [PMID: 31853278 PMCID: PMC6909662 DOI: 10.3892/etm.2019.8176] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2018] [Accepted: 10/11/2019] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to observe the effect of Rho-kinase on remote ischemic post-conditioning (RIPostC) and explore the underlying mechanisms. Male Sprague Dawley rats (n=32) were randomly distributed into four groups: Sham group, ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) group, RIPostC group and I/R with fasudil group (I/R+Fas). Infarction size was detected by triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining. The levels of creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA) and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) were measured using an ultraviolet spectrophotometer. The mRNA expression levels of Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase (ROCK)-1 and ROCK2, B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) and Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax) were detected via reverse transcription-PCR. The protein expression levels of phosphorylated-myosin phosphatase target subunit (p-MYPT1) and phosphorylated-myosin light chain (p-MLC) were assessed by western blotting. The results demonstrated that RIPostC could decrease the infarct size, the levels of CK, LDH, cTnI and MDA and increase the activity of SOD compared with the I/R group. In addition, the mRNA expression of ROCK1 and ROCK2 was downregulated, the protein expression of p-MYPT1 and p-MLC was decreased, and the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax was elevated in the RIPostC groups compared with the I/R group. Notably, the aforementioned index in I/R with Fas group was similar to the RIPostC group and no significant difference was observed between RIPostC and I/R+Fas. These results revealed that RIPostC could attenuate I/R injury and the underlying mechanisms might be associated with a reduction in myocardial apoptosis and the suppression of the Rho-kinase signaling pathway.

Alda-1 Prevents Pulmonary Epithelial Barrier Dysfunction following Severe Hemorrhagic Shock through Clearance of Reactive Aldehydes. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2019; 2019:2476252. [PMID: 31467875 PMCID: PMC6699483 DOI: 10.1155/2019/2476252] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2019] [Accepted: 07/09/2019] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
Severe hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation (HS/R) can lead to lung injury, resulting in respiratory insufficiency. We investigated whether treatment with Alda-1, an ALDH2 activator, decreased lung injury induced by severe HS/R in a rat model. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into three groups, hemorrhagic shock + placebo, hemorrhagic shock + Alda-1, and sham. All animals were heparinized, and then 50% of the total calculated blood volume was collected over 60 minutes. After 40 minutes of hemorrhagic shock, animals were reinfused with the shed blood over 40 minutes and then observed for an additional 2 hours. Concentrations of 4-HNE, TNF-α, IL-6, and ALDH2 activity were detected; lung injury and lung wet-to-dry weight ratios were assessed. Expression of occludin and ZO-1 proteins in lung tissues was also determined. At 2 hours after resuscitation, lung injury was significantly reduced and the wet-to-dry weight ratio was notably decreased in the Alda-1 group compared with placebo (P<0.05). Alda-1 treatment also significantly increased the activity of ALDH2 and decreased the levels of toxic 4-HNE (P<0.05). In the Alda-1 group, IL-6 and TNF-α were dramatically decreased compared with placebo-treated animals (P<0.05). Expression of occludin and ZO-1 proteins was significantly decreased in the placebo group compared with the Alda-1 group (P<0.05). Thus, in a rat model of severe HS/R, treatment with Alda-1 increased the activity of ALDH2, significantly accelerated the clearance of reactive aldehydes, and concomitantly alleviated lung injury through improvement of pulmonary epithelial barrier integrity resulting in decreased alveolar epithelial tissue permeability, lung edema, and diffuse infiltration of inflammatory cells.

Analyses of changes in myocardial long non-coding RNA and mRNA profiles after severe hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation via RNA sequencing in a rat model. BMC Mol Biol 2018; 19:11. [PMID: 30384838 PMCID: PMC6211518 DOI: 10.1186/s12867-018-0113-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2018] [Accepted: 10/19/2018] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Ischemia–reperfusion injury has been proven to induce organ dysfunction and death, although the mechanism is not fully understood. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have drawn wide attention with their important roles in the gene expression of some biological processes and diseases, including myocardial ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury. In this paper, a total of 26 Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats were randomized into two groups: sham and ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury. Hemorrhagic shock was induced by removing 45% of the estimated total blood volume followed by reinfusion of shed blood. High-throughput RNA sequencing was used to analyze differentially expressed (DE) lncRNAs and messenger RNAs (mRNAs) in the heart tissue 4 h after reperfusion. Myocardial function was also evaluated. Results After resuscitation, the decline of myocardial function of shocked animals, expressed by cardiac output, ejection fraction, and myocardial performance index (MPI), was significant (p < 0.05). DE lncRNAs and mRNAs were identified by absolute value of fold change ≥ 2 and the false discovery rate ≤ 0.001. In rats from the I/R injury group, 851 lncRNAs and 1015 mRNAs were significantly up-regulated while 1533 lncRNAs and 1702 m RNAs were significantly down-regulated when compared to the sham group. Among the DE lncRNAs, we found 12 location-associated with some known apoptosis-related protein-coding genes which were up-regulated or down-regulated accordingly, including STAT3 and Il1r1. Real time PCR assays confirmed that the expression levels of five location-associated lncRNAs (NONRATT006032.2, NONRATT006033.2, NONRATT006034.2, NONRATT006035.2 and NONRATT029969.2) and their location-associated mRNAs (STAT3 and Il1r1) in the rats from the I/R injury group were all significantly up-regulated versus the sham group. Conclusions The DE lncRNAs (NONRATT006032.2, NONRATT006033.2, NONRATT006034.2 and NONRATT006035.2) could be compatible with their role in myocardial protection by stimulating their co-located gene (STAT3) after hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation. The final prognosis of I/R injury might be regulated by different genes, which is regarded as a complex network.
