Abstract
In premature infants, glutathione deficiency impairs the capacity to detoxify the peroxides resulting from O2 metabolism and those contaminating the parenteral nutrition (PN) leading to increased oxidative stress, which is a major contributor to bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) development. In animals, the supplementation of PN with glutathione prevented the induction of pulmonary oxidative stress and hypoalveolarization (characteristic of BPD). Hypothesis: the dose of glutathione that corrects the plasma glutathione deficiency is sufficient to prevent oxidative stress and preserve pulmonary integrity. Three-day-old guinea pigs received a PN, supplemented or not with GSSG (up to 1300 µg/kg/d), the stable form of glutathione in PN. Animals with no handling other than being orally fed constituted the control group. After 4 days, lungs were removed to determine the GSH, GSSG, redox potential and the alveolarization index. Total plasma glutathione was quantified. The effective dose to improve pulmonary GSH and prevent the loss of alveoli was 330 µg/kg/d. A 750 µg/kg/d dose corrected the low-plasma glutathione, high-pulmonary GSSG and oxidized redox potential. Therefore, the results suggest that, in a clinical setting, the dose that improves low-plasma glutathione could be effective in preventing BPD development.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is a critical process that triggers several diseases observed in premature infants. Growing recognition of the detriment of oxidative stress in newborns warrants the use of an antioxidant strategy that is likely to be nutritional in order to restore redox homeostasis. It appears essential to have a personalized approach that will take into account the age of gestation at birth and the sex of the infant. However, the link between sex and oxidative stress remains unclear. The aim of this study was to find a common denominator explaining the discrepancy between studies related to sex-specific effects of oxidative stress. Results highlight a specificity of sex in the levels of oxidative stress markers linked to the metabolism of glutathione, as measured in the intracellular compartments. Levels of all sex-dependent oxidative stress markers are greater and markers associated to a better antioxidant defense are lower in boys compared to girls during the neonatal period. This sex-specific discrepancy is likely to be related to estrogen metabolism, which is more active in baby-girls and promotes the activation of glutathione metabolism. Conclusion: our observations suggest that nutritive antioxidant strategies need to target glutathione metabolism and, therefore, should be personalized considering, among others, the sex specificity.

Impact of high-dose vitamin D 3 on plasma free 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations and antimicrobial peptides in critically ill mechanically ventilated adults. Nutrition 2017; 38:102-108. [PMID: 28526374 DOI: 10.1016/j.nut.2017.02.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2016] [Revised: 01/09/2017] [Accepted: 02/09/2017] [Indexed: 01/28/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES High-dose vitamin D3 increases plasma total 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] in critically ill, ventilated patients; however, to our knowledge, the effect on plasma levels of free (nonprotein-bound) 25(OH)D has not been investigated in critical illness. Moreover, the relationship of free 25(OH)D and the regulation of endogenous antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) remains unknown. The aims of this study were to determine in critically ill adults with respiratory failure the effect of previous high-dose regimens of vitamin D3 on free 25(OH)D concentrations, the relationship of free 25(OH)D with circulating cathelicidin (LL-37) and human beta-defensin-2 (hBD-2), and the associations between plasma levels of free 25(OH)D and these AMPs to alveolar macrophage phagocytosis function. METHODS In a double blind, randomized controlled trial, critically ill ventilator-dependent adults (N = 30) received enteral vitamin D3 (250,000 or 500,000 IU total over 5 d) or placebo. Plasma was obtained serially for concentrations of free 25(OH)D, LL-37, hBD-2, and expression of peripheral blood mononuclear cell human cationic antimicrobial protein (hCAP18) mRNA. Total 25(OH)D and LL-37 concentrations and alveolar macrophage phagocytosis were determined in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. RESULTS Plasma concentrations of free 25(OH)D over time were correlated with total 25(OH)D levels (r= 0.82; P < 0.001). The increase in free 25(OH)D was greater with the 500 000 IU vitamin D3 dose than with the lower dose. The percent change in mRNA expression of hCAP18 was positively associated with percent change in free 25(OH)D at days 7 and 14 (ρ = 0.48; P = 0.04 and ρ = 0.59; P = 0.03, respectively). Additionally, plasma LL-37 levels correlated with the percentage of alveolar macrophages exhibiting phagocytosis (ρ = 0.51; P = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS The present study found a dose-related increase in plasma free-25(OH)D levels, which was associated with increasing circulating mRNA expression of hCAP18 over time. There were no correlations between changes in total and free 25(OH)D against plasma LL-37 and hBD-2 concentrations. Larger studies appear warranted to determine the impact of high-dose vitamin D3 administration on endogenous AMPs.

Abstract
Adiponectin (Ad), an adipokine exclusively secreted by the adipose tissue, has emerged as a paracrine metabolic regulator as well as a protectant against oxidative stress. Pharmacological approaches of protecting against clinical hyperoxic lung injury during oxygen therapy/treatment are limited. We have previously reported that Ad inhibits the NADPH oxidase-catalyzed formation of superoxide from molecular oxygen in human neutrophils. Based on this premise, we conducted studies to determine whether (i) exogenous Ad would protect against the hyperoxia-induced barrier dysfunction in the lung endothelial cells (ECs) in vitro, and (ii) endogenously synthesized Ad would protect against hyperoxic lung injury in wild-type (WT) and Ad-overexpressing transgenic (AdTg) mice in vivo. The results demonstrated that exogenous Ad protected against the hyperoxia-induced oxidative stress, loss of glutathione (GSH), cytoskeletal reorganization, barrier dysfunction, and leak in the lung ECs in vitro. Furthermore, the hyperoxia-induced lung injury, vascular leak, and lipid peroxidation were significantly attenuated in AdTg mice in vivo. Also, AdTg mice exhibited elevated levels of total thiols and GSH in the lungs as compared with WT mice. For the first time, our studies demonstrated that Ad protected against the hyperoxia-induced lung damage apparently through attenuation of oxidative stress and modulation of thiol-redox status.

Abstract
Chronic alcohol abuse increases lung oxidative stress and susceptibility to respiratory infections by impairing alveolar macrophage (AM) function. NADPH oxidases (Nox) are major sources of reactive oxygen species in AMs. We hypothesized that treatment with the critical antioxidant glutathione (GSH) attenuates chronic alcohol-induced oxidative stress by downregulating Noxes and restores AM phagocytic function. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and AMs were isolated from male C57BL/6J mice (8-10 wk) treated ± ethanol in drinking water (20% wt/vol, 12 wk) ± orally gavaged GSH in methylcellulose vehicle (300 mg x kg(-1) x day(-1), during week 12). MH-S cells, a mouse AM cell line, were treated ± ethanol (0.08%, 3 days) ± GSH (500 μM, 3 days or last 1 day of ethanol). BAL and AMs were also isolated from ethanol-fed and control mice ± inoculated airway Klebsiella pneumoniae (200 colony-forming units, 28 h) ± orally gavaged GSH (300 mg/kg, 24 h). GSH levels (HPLC), Nox mRNA (quantitative RT-PCR) and protein levels (Western blot and immunostaining), oxidative stress (2',7'-dichlorofluorescein-diacetate and Amplex Red), and phagocytosis (Staphylococcus aureus internalization) were measured. Chronic alcohol decreased GSH levels, increased Nox expression and activity, enhanced oxidative stress, impaired phagocytic function in AMs in vivo and in vitro, and exacerbated K. pneumonia-induced oxidative stress. Although how oral GSH restored GSH pools in ethanol-fed mice is unknown, oral GSH treatments abrogated the detrimental effects of chronic alcohol exposure and improved AM function. These studies provide GSH as a novel therapeutic approach for attenuating alcohol-induced derangements in AM Nox expression, oxidative stress, dysfunction, and risk for pneumonia.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxin 6 (Prdx6) and cytosolic GSH peroxidase (GPx1), both GSH-dependent peroxidases, were compared for the effects of their knockout on injury and lipid peroxidation in: (a) lungs of mice exposed to 0.85 or 1.0atm O(2), (b) isolated perfused mouse lungs exposed to 5mM tert-butylhydroperoxide (t-BOOH) or 1mM paraquat, and (c) primary mouse pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells exposed to 50muM t-BOOH. Derangements in GPx1 null were similar or slightly greater than in wild type for all parameters in the various models of oxidant stress, whereas Prdx6 null showed markedly increased effects. GSH peroxidase activity with phosphatidylcholine hydroperoxide as substrate in GPx1-null lung homogenate was decreased only slightly vs wild type, whereas activity in Prdx6-null lungs was decreased by ~95%, indicating that Prdx6 is the major enzyme for reduction of oxidized lung phospholipids. Expression levels of oxidant-related genes measured with a PCR-based gene array indicated no significant differences between the Prdx6 and the GPx1 null except for the target genes and IL-19. Thus, Prdx6-null mice are significantly more sensitive to oxidant stress compared to GPx1 null, suggesting that scavenging of phospholipid hydroperoxides by Prdx6 plays a major role in lung antioxidant defense.

Abstract
Free radicals have been implicated in the pathogenesis of an increasing number of diseases. Lipids, which undergo peroxidation, are major targets of free radical attack. We report the discovery of a pathway of lipid peroxidation that forms a series of isomers in vivo that are characterized by a substituted tetrahydrofuran ring structure, termed isofurans (IsoFs). We have proposed two distinct pathways by which IsoFs can be formed based on 18O2 and H2 18O labeling studies. Measurement of F2-isoprostanes (IsoPs), prostaglandin F2-like compounds formed nonenzymatically as products of lipid peroxidation, is considered one of the most reliable approaches for assessing oxidative stress status in vivo. However, one limitation with this approach is that the formation of IsoPs becomes limited at high oxygen tension. In contrast, the formation of IsoFs becomes increasingly favored as oxygen tension increases. IsoFs are present at readily detectable levels in normal fluids and tissues, and levels increase dramatically in CCl4-treated rats, an animal model of oxidant injury. The ratio of IsoFs to IsoPs in major organs varies according to normal steady-state tissue oxygenation. In addition, IsoFs show a marked increase early in the course of hyperoxia-induced lung injury, whereas IsoPs do not significantly increase. We propose that combined measurement of IsoFs and IsoPs should provide a more reliable index of oxidant stress severity than quantification of either alone because of the opposing modulation of the two pathways by oxygen tension, which can vary widely in different organs and disease states.

Abstract
Exposure to high fractional inspired oxygen for 24 h increases permeability of the alveolar epithelium, contributing to the clinical manifestations of oxygen toxicity. Utilizing a model of the alveolar epithelium in which isolated rat type II cells form polarized monolayers on polycarbonate filters [transepithelial resistance (R(t)) > 1 k Omega x cm(2) by day 4], we evaluated the ability of reduced glutathione (GSH) to ameliorate these changes. On day 4, apical fluid was replaced with culture medium containing 1) no additives, 2) GSH (500 microM), or 3) GSH (500 microM) + glutathione reductase (0.5 U/ml) + nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (250 microM). Monolayers were exposed (for 24 h) to room air (control) or 95% O(2), each containing 5% CO(2). After 24 h of hyperoxia, R(t) for condition 1 decreased by 45% compared with control (P < 0.001). In conditions 2 and 3, R(t) did not decrease significantly (P = not significant). Hyperoxia-induced decreases in active ion transport were observed for conditions 1 and 2 (P < 0.05), but not for condition 3 (P = not significant). These findings indicate that extracellular GSH may protect the alveolar epithelium against hyperoxia-induced injury. Addition of glutathione reductase and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate may further augment these protective effects of GSH.

Abstract
Hyperoxia-induced lung damage was investigated via airway and respiratory tissue mechanics measurements with low-frequency forced oscillations (LFOT) and analysis of spontaneous breathing indexes by barometric whole body plethysmography (WBP). WBP was performed in the unrestrained awake mice kept in room air ( n = 12) or in 100% oxygen for 24 ( n = 9), 48 ( n = 8), or 60 ( n = 9) h, and the indexes, including enhanced pause (Penh) and peak inspiratory and expiratory flows, were determined. The mice were then anesthetized, paralyzed, and mechanically ventilated. Airway resistance, respiratory system resistance at breathing frequency, and tissue damping and elastance were identified from the LFOT impedance data by model fitting. The monotonous decrease in airway resistance during hyperoxia correlated best with the increasing peak expiratory flow. Respiratory system resistance and tissue damping and elastance were unchanged up to 48 h of exposure but were markedly elevated at 60 h, with associated decreases in peak inspiratory flow. Penh was increased at 24 h and sharply elevated at 60 h. These results indicate no adverse effect of hyperoxia on the airway mechanics in mice, whereas marked parenchymal damage develops by 60 h. The inconsistent relationships between LFOT parameters and WBP indexes suggest that the changes in the latter reflect alterations in the breathing pattern rather than in the mechanical properties. It is concluded that, in the presence of diffuse lung disease, Penh is inadequate for characterization of the mechanical status of the respiratory system.
