Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor 1 (TNFR1), TNFR2 and fibroblast growth factor-inducible 14 (Fn14) belong to the TNF receptor superfamily (TNFRSF). From a structural point of view, TNFR1 is a prototypic death domain (DD)-containing receptor. In contrast to other prominent death receptors, such as CD95/Fas and the two TRAIL death receptors DR4 and DR5, however, liganded TNFR1 does not instruct the formation of a plasma membrane-associated death inducing signaling complex converting procaspase-8 into highly active mature heterotetrameric caspase-8 molecules. Instead, liganded TNFR1 recruits the DD-containing cytoplasmic signaling proteins TRADD and RIPK1 and empowers these proteins to trigger cell death signaling by cytosolic complexes after their release from the TNFR1 signaling complex. The activity and quality (apoptosis versus necroptosis) of TNF-induced cell death signaling is controlled by caspase-8, the caspase-8 regulatory FLIP proteins, TRAF2, RIPK1 and the RIPK1-ubiquitinating E3 ligases cIAP1 and cIAP2. TNFR2 and Fn14 efficiently recruit TRAF2 along with the TRAF2 binding partners cIAP1 and cIAP2 and can thereby limit the availability of these molecules for other TRAF2/cIAP1/2-utilizing proteins including TNFR1. Accordingly, at the cellular level engagement of TNFR2 or Fn14 inhibits TNFR1-induced RIPK1-mediated effects reaching from activation of the classical NFκB pathway to induction of apoptosis and necroptosis. In this review, we summarize the effects of TNFR2- and Fn14-mediated depletion of TRAF2 and the cIAP1/2 on TNFR1 signaling at the molecular level and discuss the consequences this has in vivo.

CD226 deficiency promotes glutaminolysis and alleviates mitochondria damage in vascular endothelial cells under hemorrhagic shock. FASEB J 2021; 35:e21998. [PMID: 34669985 DOI: 10.1096/fj.202101134r] [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: 07/12/2021] [Revised: 09/23/2021] [Accepted: 10/04/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Hemorrhagic shock (HS) is common in clinical emergencies, leading to millions of deaths each year globally. CD226 is a costimulatory adhesion molecule expressed on both immune cells and endothelial cells (ECs) to regulate their metabolic activity and function. As endothelial dysfunction occurs after HS, the roles CD226 plays in vascular EC metabolism were investigated. CD226fl/fl Tekcre mice were adopted to achieve vascular EC-specific knockout of CD226, and subjected to HS modelling. Serum levels of crucial intermediate metabolites were evaluated through liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis. Human umbilical vein ECs (HUVECs) were used to study the effects of CD226 under hypoxia in vitro. Seahorse analysis evaluated the cellular glycolysis and mitochondria bioenergetics. Results showed that CD226 deficiency in vascular ECs alleviated HS-induced intestinal damage and inflammatory response in mice. Animal studies indicated an improved energy metabolism when CD226 was knocked out in ECs after HS, as evidenced by enhanced glutamine-glutamate metabolism and decreased lactic acid levels. Glut-1 was upregulated in mouse vascular ECs after HS and HUVECs under hypoxia, combined with decreased CD226. Moreover, HUVECs with CD226 knockdown exhibited relieved mitochondrial damage and early apoptosis under hypoxia, whereas CD226 overexpression showed opposite effects. Seahorse analysis showed that downregulated CD226 significantly increased mitochondrial ATP production and glucose uptake in HUVECs under hypoxia. Additionally, Erk/PHD2 signaling-mediated HIF-1α/Glut-1 and HIF-2α/ASCT2 pathways were involved in CD226 regulation on HUVEC glutaminolysis after hypoxia. Hence, CD226 deficiency promotes bypass energy supply to vascular ECs under ischemic or hypoxic stress, to ameliorate the stress-mediated metabolic disturbance.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a common complication of sepsis that often leads to fatal lung disease without effective therapies. It is known that bone marrow derived macrophages are important in resolving the inflammation and maintaining tissue homeostasis. Here, we hypothesize that treatment in combination of DNA methyl transferase inhibitor (DNMTi) 5-Aza 2-deoxycytidine (Aza) and histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) Trichostatin A (TSA) mitigates the inflammation induced pyroptosis and apoptosis during endotoxemia induced ALI. To test this hypothesis, the mice challenged with a sublethal dose of LPS followed by one-hour post-treatment with a single dose of Aza and TSA intraperitoneally showed a substantial attenuation of apoptosis and inflammation. Importantly, we observed significant changes in the mitochondrial membrane structure, and lower levels of DNA fragmentation, reduced expression of apoptotic and pyroptotic genes both transcriptionally and translationally in LPS induced BMDMs treated by a combination of Aza and TSA than in LPS-induced BMDMs treated with either drug alone. The protection was mediated by an inhibition of JNK-ERK and STAT3-JMJD3 activated pathways. Thus, targeting these important signaling pathways with the combination of Aza and TSA would be a good treatment modality for ALI.

Abstract
The goal of the present study was to investigate the role of M1 macrophages in acute lung injury (ALI). To address this, we used lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated wild-type and CD11b-DTR mice, and examined their M1 macrophage levels, and the extent of their inflammation and pulmonary injuries. In addition, we evaluated pulmonary function by measuring the expressions of SP-A and SP-B in infiltrated M1 macrophages. Finally, we co-cultured the mouse type II-like alveolar epithelial cells (AT-II) and mouse pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (PMECs) with M1 macrophages in the presence of TNF-α or H2O2 and assessed them for viability and apoptosis. After LPS treatment, we observed that the number of pulmonary M1/M2 macrophages and the serum levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), and reactive oxygen species (ROS) significantly increased. Furthermore, the increase in cytokines was accompanied with the initiation of lung injury indicated by the decreased levels of SP-A and SP-B. In macrophage-depleted CD11b-DTR mice, ALI was attenuated, serum levels of IL-1β, TNF-α and ROS were reduced, and lung levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2) were decreased. After administering TNF-α and H2O2, the proapoptotic effect of M1 macrophages on AT-II or PMECs significantly increased, the cell viabilities significantly decreased, and apoptosis significantly increased. Our results suggest that M1 macrophages are recruited to the lungs where they significantly contribute to an increase in TNF-α and ROS production, thus initiating ALI.

Abstract
Silibinin, a natural product extracted from Silybum marianum (milk thistle), has been reported to have anti-inflammatory effect. The aim of this study was to explore the therapeutic effects and potential mechanisms of silibinin on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated inflammatory responses in acute lung injury (ALI). Male BALB/c mice were conditioned with silibinin 1 h after intranasal instillation of LPS. After 12 h, the myeloperoxidase (MPO) level in lung tissues, the wet/dry (W/D) ratio, inflammatory cytokines in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and histopathological examination of lung were detected. Our results showed that silibinin inhibited LPS-induced histopathological changes and MPO activity, as well as the wet/dry (W/D) ratio in the lung tissues. Furthermore, silibinin significantly inhibited LPS-induced inflammatory cytokines production in the BALF. In addition, silibinin suppressed LPS-induced NF-κB activation and the expression of NLRP3 inflammasome. These results indicate that silibinin exerts its anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting NF-κB and NLRP3 signaling pathways.

Abstract
Malaria is a serious disease, caused by the parasite of the genus Plasmodium, which was responsible for 440,000 deaths in 2015. Acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) is one of the main clinical complications in severe malaria. The murine model DBA/2 reproduces the clinical signs of ALI/ARDS in humans, when infected with Plasmodium berghei ANKA. High levels of HO-1 were reported in cases of severe malaria. Our data indicated that the HO-1 mRNA and protein expression are increased in mice that develop malaria-associated ALI/ARDS (MA-ALI/ARDS). Additionally, the hemin, a HO-1 inducing drug, prevented mice from developing MA-ALI/ARDS when administered prior to the development of MA-ALI/ARDS in this model. Also, hemin treatment showed an amelioration of respiratory parameters in mice, high VEGF levels in the sera, and a decrease in vascular permeability in the lung, which are signs of ALI/ARDS. Therefore, the induction of HO-1 before the development of MA-ALI/ARDS could be protective. However, the increased expression of HO-1 on the onset of MA-ALI/ARDS development may represent an effort to revert the phenotype of this syndrome by the host. We therefore confirm that HO-1 inducing drugs could be used for prevention of MA-ALI/ARDS in humans.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) during sepsis is characterized by bilateral alveolar infiltrates, lung edema and respiratory failure. Here, we examined the efficacy the DNA methyl transferase (DNMT) inhibitor 5-Aza 2-deoxycytidine (Aza), the histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor Trichostatin A (TSA), as well as the combination therapy of Aza and TSA (Aza+TSA) provides in the protection of ALI. In LPS-induced mouse ALI, post-treatment with a single dose of Aza+TSA showed substantial attenuation of adverse lung histopathological changes and inflammation. Importantly, these protective effects were due to substantial macrophage phenotypic changes observed in LPS-stimulated macrophages treated with Aza+TSA as compared with untreated LPS-induced macrophages or LPS-stimulated macrophages treated with either drug alone. Further, we observed significantly lower levels of pro-inflammatory molecules and higher levels of anti-inflammatory molecules in LPS-induced macrophages treated with Aza+TSA than in LPS-induced macrophages treated with either drug alone. The protection was ascribed to dual effects by an inhibition of MAPK-HuR-TNF and activation of STAT3-Bcl2 pathways. Combinatorial treatment with Aza+TSA reduces inflammation and promotes an anti-inflammatory M2 macrophage phenotype in ALI, and has a therapeutic potential for patients with sepsis.

Abstract
Postperfusion lung syndrome is rare but can be lethal. The underlying mechanism
remains uncertain but triggering inflammatory cascades have become an accepted
etiology. A better understanding of the pathophysiology and the roles of inflammatory
mediators in the development of the syndrome is imperative in the determination of
therapeutic options and promotion of patients' prognosis and survival. Postperfusion
lung syndrome is similar to adult respiratory distress syndrome in clinical features,
diagnostic approaches and management strategies. However, the etiologies and
predisposing risk factors may differ between each other. The prognosis of the
postperfusion lung syndrome can be poorer in comparison to acute respiratory distress
syndrome due to the secondary multiple organ failure and triple acid-base imbalance.
Current management strategies are focusing on attenuating inflammatory responses and
preventing from pulmonary ischemia-reperfusion injury. Choices of cardiopulmonary
bypass circuit and apparatus, innovative cardiopulmonary bypass techniques, modified
surgical maneuvers and several pharmaceutical agents can be potential preventive
strategies for acute lung injury during cardiopulmonary bypass.

Abstract
Impairment of tissue fluid homeostasis and migration of inflammatory cells across the vascular endothelial barrier are crucial factors in the pathogenesis of acute lung injury (ALI). The goal for treatment of ALI is to target pathways that lead to profound dysregulation of the lung endothelial barrier. Although studies have shown that chemical epigenetic modifiers can limit lung inflammation in experimental ALI models, studies to date have not examined efficacy of a combination of DNA methyl transferase inhibitor 5-Aza 2-deoxycytidine and histone deacetylase inhibitor trichostatin A (herein referred to as Aza+TSA) after endotoxemia-induced mouse lung injury. We tested the hypothesis that treatment with Aza+TSA after lipopolysaccharide induction of ALI through epigenetic modification of lung endothelial cells prevents inflammatory lung injury. Combinatorial treatment with Aza+TSA mitigated the increased endothelial permeability response after lipopolysaccharide challenge. In addition, we observed reduced lung inflammation and lung injury. Aza+TSA also significantly reduced mortality in the ALI model. The protection was ascribed to inhibition of the eNOS-Cav1-MLC2 signaling pathway and enhanced acetylation of histone markers on the vascular endothelial-cadherin promoter. In summary, these data show for the first time the efficacy of combinatorial Aza+TSA therapy in preventing ALI in lipopolysaccharide-induced endotoxemia and raise the possibility of an essential role of DNA methyl transferase and histone deacetylase in the mechanism of ALI.

Abstract
Severe blood loss in victims of trauma creates an exaggerated inflammatory background that contributes to the development of intravascular coagulopathy and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. We hypothesized that treatment with diphenyldifluoroketone EF24, an inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa-B, would have salutary effects in hemorrhagic shock. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of EF24 on the expression of the interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R) superfamily in a rat model of hypovolemic shock. Hypovolemia was induced by gradually withdrawing approximately 50% of circulating blood, and EF24 was administered intraperitoneally (0.2 mg/kg) in 50 μL of saline. After 6 h of shock, lung tissue was probed immunohistochemically and by immunoblotting to study the expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), IL-1R, suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2), and single immunoglobulin IL-1R-related (SIGIRR). The tissue-associated pro-inflammatory cytokines, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and IL-6, were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. We observed a reduction in immunoreactive TLR4 and IL-1R1 in lung tissue of rats treated with EF24. Simultaneously, the pulmonary expression of ST2 and SIGIRR (the putative down-regulators of the pro-inflammatory IL-1R pathway) was increased in EF24-treated hemorrhaged rats. The concentration of hemorrhage-induced TNF-α and IL-6 in lung tissue homogenates was also reduced by EF24 treatment. These results confirm our previous in vitro observations in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated dendritic cells that EF24 beneficially modulates the IL-1R pathway and suggest that it could be investigated as an adjunct therapeutic in managing inflammation associated with hemorrhagic shock.

Abstract
Aspiration of hydrochloric acid (HCl)-containing gastric juice leads to acute lung injury (ALI) and hypoxemic respiratory failure due to an exuberant inflammatory response associated with pulmonary edema from increased vascular and epithelial permeability. The aim of this study was to determine the role and signaling mechanisms of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) in experimental ALI from HCl aspiration using a combination of genetic animal models and pharmacologic inhibition strategies. To this end, HCl was instilled intratracheally to mice, followed by respiratory system elastance measurement, bronchoalveolar lavage, and lung tissue harvesting 24 h after injection. Hydrochloric acid instillation induced an inflammatory response in the lungs of wild-type mice, evidenced as increased bronchoalveolar lavage total cells, neutrophils, and total protein; histologic lung injury score; and respiratory system elastance, whereas TNF-α receptor I mRNA levels were maintained. These alterations could be prevented by pretreatment with etanercept or genetic deletion of the 55-kd TNF-α receptor I, but not by deletion of the TNF-α gene. Hydrochloric acid induced a 6-fold increase in apoptotic, caspase 3-positive cells in lung sections from wild-type mice, which was abrogated in mice lacking TNF-α receptor I. In immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry studies, HCl stimulated signaling via p44/42 and c-Jun N-terminal kinase, which was blocked in TNF-α receptor I knockout mice. In conclusion, ALI induced by HCl requires TNF-α receptor I function and associates with activation of downstream proinflammatory signaling pathways p44/42 and c-Jun N-terminal kinase.

Abstract
The cellular and biochemical mechanisms leading to acute lung injury (ALI) and subsequent multiple organ failure are only partially understood. To study the potential role of eicosanoids, particularly leukotrienes, as possible mediators of ALI, we used a murine experimental model of ALI induced by hemorrhagic shock after blood removal via cardiac puncture. Neutrophil sequestration, as shown by immunofluorescence and protein leakage into the alveolar space were measured as markers of injury. We used liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry to unequivocally identify several eicosanoids in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of experimental animals. MK886, a specific inhibitor of the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) pathway, and transgenic mice deficient in 5-LO were used to determine the role of this enzymatic pathway in this model. Leukotriene B4 and leukotriene C4 were consistently elevated in shock-treated mice compared with sham-treated mice. MK886 attenuated neutrophil infiltration and protein extravasation induced by hemorrhagic shock. 5-Lipoxygenase-deficient mice showed reduced neutrophil infiltration and protein extravasation after shock treatment, indicating greatly reduced lung injury. These results support the hypothesis that 5-LO, most likely through the generation of leukotrienes, plays an important role in the pathogenesis of ALI induced by hemorrhagic shock in mice. This pathway could represent a new target for pharmacological intervention to reduce lung damage following severe primary injury.

Cytokine 2012; 60:68-75. [PMID: 22748466 DOI: 10.1016/j.cyto.2012.06.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2011] [Revised: 06/01/2012] [Accepted: 06/04/2012] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypothermia frequently occurs during fluid resuscitation of trauma victims, especially in patients with a major blood loss. Recent studies have suggested that mild hypothermia may ameliorate hemorrhagic shock (HS) induced splanchnic damage. OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study is to compare the status of body temperature and splanchnic injury under different resuscitation speeds for HS in conscious rats. METHODS Experimental study in an animal model of HS. Twenty-four male Wistar-Kyoto rats were used in the study. To mimic HS, 40% of the total blood volume was withdrawn. Fluid resuscitation was given 30 min after blood withdrawal. The rats were randomly divided into three groups; the control group, the 10-min rapid group, and the 12-h slow group. RESULTS Levels of blood biochemical parameters, including aspartate transferase (GOT), and alanine transferase (GPT), were measured. Levels of serum tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) were measured and levels of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) TNF-α and nitric oxide (NO) were measured by ELISA. The lung, liver and small intestine were examined for pathological changes 48 h after HS. CONCLUSIONS Initially slow rate resuscitation with limited-volume significantly decreased body temperature, serum GOT, GPT, TNF-α, and IL-6 levels, levels of TNF-α, and NO in BALF. Moreover, the slow group had lower injury scores in the lung, liver and small intestine than the rapid group after HS. This finding suggests that mild hypothermia induced by a slow fluid resuscitation rate with limited-volume ameliorates HS-induced splanchnic damage in conscious rats.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) is associated with increased vascular permeability, leukocyte recruitment, and pro-inflammatory mediator release. We investigated the role of the metalloproteinase ADAM17 in endotoxin-induced ALI with focus on endothelial ADAM17. In vitro, endotoxin-mediated induction of endothelial permeability and IL-8-induced transmigration of neutrophils through human microvascular endothelial cells required ADAM17 as shown by inhibition with GW280264X or shRNA-mediated knockdown. In vivo, ALI was induced by intranasal endotoxin-challenge combined with GW280264X treatment or endothelial adam17-knockout. Endotoxin-triggered upregulation of ADAM17 mRNA in the lung was abrogated in knockout mice and associated with reduced ectodomain shedding of the junctional adhesion molecule JAM-A and the transmembrane chemokine CX3CL1. Induced vascular permeability, oedema formation, release of TNF-α and IL-6 and pulmonary leukocyte recruitment were all markedly reduced by GW280264X or endothelial adam17-knockout. Intranasal application of TNF-α could not restore leukocyte recruitment and oedema formation in endothelial adam17-knockout animals. Thus, activation of endothelial ADAM17 promotes acute pulmonary inflammation in response to endotoxin by multiple endothelial shedding events most likely independently of endothelial TNF-α release leading to enhanced vascular permeability and leukocyte recruitment.

Histone deacetylase inhibitor treatment attenuates MAP kinase pathway activation and pulmonary inflammation following hemorrhagic shock in a rodent model. J Surg Res 2011; 176:185-94. [PMID: 21816439 DOI: 10.1016/j.jss.2011.06.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2011] [Revised: 05/16/2011] [Accepted: 06/03/2011] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemorrhagic shock activates cellular stress signals and can lead to systemic inflammatory response, organ injury, and death. We have previously shown that treatment with histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACIs) significantly improves survival in lethal models (60% blood loss) of hemorrhage. The aim of the current study was to examine whether these protective effects were due to attenuation of mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways, which are known to promote inflammation and apoptosis. METHODS Wistar-Kyoto rats (250-300 g) were subjected to 40% blood loss and randomized to treatment with: (1) HDACI valproic acid (VPA 300 mg/kg i.v.; volume = 0.75 mL/kg), or (2) vehicle control (0.75 mL/kg of 0.9% saline). Animals were sacrificed at 1, 4, and 20 h (n = 3-4/group/timepoint), and lung samples were analyzed by Western blotting for expression of active (phosphorylated) and inactive forms of c-Jun N-terminal Kinase (JNK) and p38 MAPK. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity was measured in lung tissue 20 h after hemorrhage as a marker of neutrophil infiltration. Normal animals (n = 3) served as shams. RESULTS Hemorrhaged animals demonstrated significant increases in phosphorylated p38 at 1 h, phosphorylated JNK at 4 h, and increased MPO activity at 20 h (P < 0.05 compared with sham). VPA treatment significantly (P < 0.05) attenuated all of these changes. CONCLUSIONS Hemorrhagic shock activates pro-inflammatory MAPK signaling pathways and promotes pulmonary neutrophil infiltration, affects that are significantly attenuated by VPA treatment. This may represent a key mechanism through which HDACIs decrease organ damage and promote survival in hemorrhagic shock.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemorrhage increases inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and depletes ATP levels in various tissues. Previous studies have shown that geldanamycin, an inducer of heat shock protein 70kDa (HSP-70) and inhibitor of iNOS, limits both processes. Reduction in NO production limits lipid peroxidation, apoptosome formation, and caspase-3 activation, thereby increasing cellular survival and reducing the sequelae of hemorrhage. The poor solubility of geldanamycin in aqueous solutions, however, limits its effectiveness as a drug. 17-DMAG is a water-soluble analog of geldanamycin that might have greater therapeutic utility. This study investigated the effectiveness of 17-DMAG at reducing hemorrhagic injury in mouse small intestine. RESULTS In mice, the hemorrhage-induced iNOS increase correlated with increases in Kruppel-like factor 6 (KLF6) and NF-kB and a decrease in KLF4. As a result, increases in NO production and lipid peroxidation occurred. Moreover, hemorrhage also resulted in decreased Bcl-2 and increased TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-10 concentrations, p53 protein, caspase-3 activation, and cellular ATP depletion. A shortening and widening of villi in the small intestine was also observed. Treatment with 17-DMAG significantly reduced the hemorrhage-induced increases in iNOS protein, jejunal alteration, and TNF-α and IL-10 concentrations, but 17-DMAG did not affect the hemorrhage-induced increases in p53 and IL-6 concentration. 17-DMAG treatment by itself upregulated HSP-70, Bcl-2, and p53. CONCLUSION Since 17-DMAG is water soluble, bioactive, and not toxic, 17-DMAG may prove useful as a prophylactic drug for hemorrhage.

Abstract
During a severe local or systemic inflammatory response, immune mediators target lung tissue. This process may lead to acute lung injury and impaired diffusion of gas molecules. Although several mathematical models of gas exchange have been described, none simulate acute lung injury following inflammatory stress. In view of recent laboratory and clinical progress in the understanding of the pathophysiology of acute lung injury, such a mathematical model would be useful. We first derived a partial differential equations model of gas exchange on a small physiological unit of the lung ( approximately 25 alveoli), which we refer to as a respiratory unit (RU). We next developed a simple model of the acute inflammatory response and implemented its effects within a RU, creating a single RU model. Linking multiple RUs with various ventilation/perfusion ratios and taking into account pulmonary venous blood remixing yielded our lung-scale model. Using the lung-scale model, we explored the predicted effects of inflammation on ventilation/perfusion distribution and the resulting pulmonary venous partial pressure oxygen level during systemic inflammatory stresses. This model represents a first step towards the development of anatomically faithful models of gas exchange and ventilation under a broad range of local and systemic inflammatory stimuli resulting in acute lung injury, such as infection and mechanical strain of lung tissue.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Mirasol Pathogen Reduction Technology (PRT) treatment uses riboflavin and UV light to inactivate pathogens in blood components. Neutrophil [polymorphonuclear cells (PMN)] priming activity accumulates during routine storage of cellular blood components, and this activity has been implicated in transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI). We hypothesize that PRT-treatment of blood components affects the priming activity generated during storage of packed RBCs (PRBCs) or platelet concentrates (PCs), which can elicit ALI in vivo. METHODS Plasma, PRBCs and PCs were isolated from healthy donor's whole blood or by apheresis. Half of a collected unit was treated with PRT treatment and the remainder was left as an unmodified control. Supernatant was collected during storage of PCs and PRBCs and assayed for PMN priming activity and used as the second event in a two-event in vivo model of TRALI. RESULTS PRT treatment did not induce priming activity in plasma or affect the priming activity generated during storage of PCs or PRBCs as compared with the unmodified controls. The supernatants from stored, but not fresh, PCs and PRBCs did cause ALI as the second event in a two-event animal model of TRALI, which was unaffected by PRT treatment. We conclude that the PRT treatment does not induce priming activity in plasma nor does it affect the priming activity generated during storage of PCs or PRBCs or their ability to cause ALI as the second event in a two-event in vivo model of TRALI. Moreover, the amount of priming activity in TRIMA-isolated PCs was significantly less than SPECTRA-isolated PCs.

Abstract
Resuscitation with hypertonic saline (HTS) attenuates acute lung injury (ALI) and modulates postinjury hyperinflammation. TNF-alpha-stimulated pulmonary epithelium is a major contributor to hemorrhage-induced ALI. We hypothesized that HTS would inhibit TNF-alpha-induced nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB proinflammatory signaling in pulmonary epithelial cells. Therefore, we pretreated human pulmonary epithelial cells (A549) with hypertonic medium (180 mM NaCl) for 30 min, followed by TNF-alpha stimulation (10 ng/mL). Key regulatory steps and protein concentrations in this pathway were assessed for significant alterations. Hypertonic saline significantly reduced TNF-alpha-induced intercellular adhesion molecule 1 levels and NF-kappaB nuclear localization. The mechanism is attenuated phosphorylation and delayed degradation of IkappaB alpha. Hypertonic saline did not alter TNF-alpha-induced p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphorylation or constitutive vascular endothelial growth factor expression, suggesting that the observed inhibition is not a generalized suppression of protein phosphorylation or cellular function. These results show that HTS inhibits TNF-alpha-induced NF-kappaB activation in the pulmonary epithelium and, further, our understanding of its beneficial effects in hemorrhage-induced ALI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome in patients with hemorrhagic shock (HS) or resuscitation is associated with the expression of TLR4. However, the role of TLR4 in ALI induced by unresuscitated HS remains obscure. METHODS The lung pathologic change was observed by hematoxylin and eosin staining. Interleukin-1beta and tumor necrosis factor-alpha were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Polymorphonuclear leukocyte sequestration and lung leak were analyzed by pulmonary myeloperoxidase activity and Evans blue dye. The expressions of TLR4 mRNA and protein were analyzed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and Western blot, respectively. TLR4 distribution was analyzed by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Lung neutrophil accumulation and microvascular permeability were significantly increased after unresuscitated HS, meanwhile, lung interleukin-1beta and tumor necrosis factor-alpha were gradually augmented. TLR4 mRNA, TLR4 distribution and TLR4 protein were also significantly increased in TLR4 wt mice, however, no above-mentioned changes appeared in TLR4 mutant mice. CONCLUSIONS TLR4 is strongly associated with the pathogenesis of ALI induced by unresuscitated HS, which may serve as a useful therapeutic target.

Abstract
Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is the leading cause of transfusion death. We hypothesize that TRALI requires 2 events: (1) the clinical condition of the patient and (2) the infusion of antibodies against MHC class I antigens or the plasma from stored blood. A 2-event rat model was developed with saline (NS) or endotoxin (LPS) as the first event and the infusion of plasma from packed red blood cells (PRBCs) or antibodies (OX18 and OX27) against MHC class I antigens as the second event. ALI was determined by Evans blue dye leak from the plasma to the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), protein and CINC-1 concentrations in the BALF, and the lung histology. NS-treated rats did not evidence ALI with any second events, and LPS did not cause ALI. LPS-treated animals demonstrated ALI in response to plasma from stored PRBCs, both prestorage leukoreduced and unmodified, and to OX18 and OX27, all in a concentration-dependent fashion. ALI was neutrophil (PMN) dependent, and OX18/OX27 localized to the PMN surface in vivo and primed the oxidase of rat PMNs. We conclude that TRALI is the result of 2 events with the second events consisting of the plasma from stored blood and antibodies that prime PMNs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Calcific aortic stenosis may be an inflammatory disease with active bone formation in the valve leaflets rather than a disease of passive calcium deposition. Epidemiologic data demonstrating correlation of poor dental hygiene to atherosclerotic pathologies suggests that circulating bacterial products could be involved in the pathogenesis of aortic valve stenosis. We hypothesized that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation of human aortic valve interstitial cells (HAVICs) would induce inflammatory and osteogenic gene expression. METHODS The HAVICs were isolated from normal aortic valves obtained from explanted hearts during transplantation (n = 5) and grown in culture. Cells underwent 4 and 24 hours of LPS stimulation (LPS, 200 ng/mL) or beta-glycerol phosphate treatment (BGP) (osteogenic media as positive control). Media was removed for interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 immunoassay. Ribonucleic acid was extracted for microarray analysis. Statistics were by analysis of variance with post-hoc analysis (p < 0.05). RESULTS The LPS stimulation induced the gene expression of proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and adhesion molecules. Protein level confirmation by immunoassay demonstrated 3.4-fold (+/- 0.35, p < 0.01) and 9.5-fold (+/- 1.5 p < 0.01) increase over control of IL-6 and IL-8, respectively. The LPS and BGP both induced critical mediators of osteogenesis including bone morphogenetic protein 2 and platelet-derived growth factor alpha. CONCLUSIONS The LPS stimulation of HAVICs not only induces inflammatory mediators but also induces gene expression of osteogenic factors, similar to that induced by osteogenic media. Bacterial products stimulation, likely by toll-like receptor 4 and the innate immune system, may contribute to the pathogenesis of aortic valve stenosis.

Abstract
Idiopathic pneumonia syndrome (IPS) is a frequently fatal complication following allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT). Experimental models have revealed that TNF-alpha contributes to pulmonary vascular endothelial cell (EC) apoptosis, and modulates the infiltration of donor leukocytes into the lung parenchyma. The inflammatory effects of TNF-alpha are mediated by signaling through the type I (TNFRI) or type II (TNFRII) TNF receptors. We investigated the relative contribution of TNFRI and TNFRII to leukocyte infiltration into the lung following allo-SCT by using established murine models. Wild-type (wt) B6 mice or B6 animals deficient in either TNFRI or TNFRII were lethally irradiated and received SCT from allogeneic (LP/J) or syngeneic (B6) donors. At week 5 following SCT, the severity of IPS was significantly reduced in TNFRII-/- recipients compared to wt controls, but no effect was observed in TNFRI-/- animals. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) levels of RANTES and pulmonary ICAM-1 expression in TNFRII-/- recipients were also reduced, and correlated with a reduction of CD8(+) cells in the lung. Pulmonary inflammation was also decreased in TNFRII-/- mice using an isolated MHC class I disparate model (bm1 --> B6), and in bm1 wt mice transplanted with B6 TNF-alpha-/- donor cells. Collectively, these data demonstrate a role for TNF-alpha signaling through TNFRII in leukocyte infiltration into the lung following allo-SCT, and suggest that disruption of the TNF-alpha:TNFRII pathway may be an effective tool to prevent or treat IPS.

Abstract
Calcific aortic valve stenosis is the most common indication for surgical valve replacement. Inflammation appears to be one of the mechanisms involved in aortic valve calcification, and valve interstitial cells seem to contribute to that process. Although Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play an important role in the cellular inflammatory response, it is unknown whether human aortic valve interstitial cells (HAVICs) express functional TLRs. We examined the expression of TLR2 and TLR4 in human aortic valve leaflets and in isolated HAVICs and analyzed the response of cultured HAVICs to the TLR2 and TLR4 agonists peptidoglycan (PGN) and LPS. Abundant TLR2 and TLR4 proteins were found in human aortic valve leaflets and in isolated HAVICs, and both receptors were detected in the membrane and cytoplasm of cultured HAVICs. Stimulation by either PGN or LPS resulted in the activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway and the production of multiple proinflammatory mediators, including IL-6, IL-8, and ICAM-1. In addition, stimulation by either PGN or LPS upregulated the expression of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and Runx2, factors associated with osteogenesis. This study demonstrates for the first time that HAVICs express TLR2 and TLR4 and that stimulation of HAVICs by PGN or LPS induces the expression of proinflammatory mediators and the upregulation of osteogenesis-associated factors. These results suggest that TLR2 and TLR4 may play a role in aortic valve inflammation and stenosis.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Multiple pro-inflammatory mediators contribute to cardiac dysfunction caused by bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The rapid TNF-alpha response is likely involved in the induction of down-stream myocardial depressant factors. Studies by our laboratory and others indicate an important role for ICAM-1 in endotoxemic cardiac dysfunction through leukocyte-independent mechanisms. The purpose of this study was to determine: whether ICAM-1 knockout improves cardiac function during endotoxemia and whether TLR4 and TNF-alpha regulate LPS-induced myocardial ICAM-1 expression. METHODS AND RESULTS Mice were treated with Escherichia coli LPS (0.5mg/kg iv). Myocardial ICAM-1 levels were analyzed by immunoblotting and left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP) was assessed by the Langendorff technique. In wild-type mice, peak ICAM-1 levels were observed at 4h when myocardial contractility was depressed. Myocardial contractility was improved following LPS in mice lacking functional TLR4, TNF-alpha or ICAM-1. TLR4 mutation abolished ICAM-1 expression with abrogation of precedent TNF-alpha response. Similarly, TNF-alpha knockout reduced myocardial ICAM-1 level following LPS treatment. CONCLUSIONS ICAM-1 contributes to the mechanism of endotoxemic cardiac dysfunction. TNF-alpha is involved in the regulation of myocardial ICAM-1 expression by TLR4.

Abstract
Hemorrhage has been shown to increase inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and deplete ATP levels in tissues and geldanamycin limits both processes. Moreover, it is evident that inhibition of iNOS reduces caspase-3 and increases survival. Thus we sought to identify the molecular events responsible for the beneficial effect of geldanamycin. Hemorrhage in mice significantly increased caspase-3 activity and protein while treatment with geldanamycin significantly limited these increases. Similarly, geldanamycin inhibited increases in proteins forming the apoptosome (a complex of caspase-9, cytochrome c, and Apaf-1). Modulation of the expression of iNOS by iNOS gene transfection or siRNA treatment demonstrated that the level of iNOS correlates with caspase-3 activity. Our data indicate that geldanamycin limits caspase-3 expression and protects from organ injury by suppressing iNOS expression and apoptosome formation. Geldanamycin, therefore, may prove useful as an adjuvant in fluids used to treat patients suffering blood loss.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The molecular mechanisms of lung damage following thermal injury are not clear. The purpose of this study was to determine whether interleukin (IL)-1 mediates burn-induced inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression, peroxynitrite production, and lung damage through c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling. DESIGN Prospective, experimental study. SETTING Research laboratory at a university hospital. SUBJECTS Thermal injury models in the mice. INTERVENTIONS IL-1 receptor type 1 (IL-1R1) mice, Tnfrsf1a mice, and wild-type (WT) mice were subjected to 30% total body surface area third-degree burn. The JNK inhibitor, SP600125, was given to mice to study the involvement of the JNK pathway in thermal injury-induced lung damage. WT --> WT, WT --> IL-1R1, and IL-1R1 --> WT chimeric mice were generated to determine the role of hematopoietic cells in IL-1-mediated lung damage. Neutrophils were harvested and treated in vitro with N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS IL-1R1 mice rather than Tnfrsf1a mice showed less thermal injury-induced lung damage. IL-1R1 mice displayed less lung JNK activity; intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM), vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM), chemokine receptor 2 (CXCR2), and macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP2), messenger RNA expression; myeloperoxidase activity; and neutrophil p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation after thermal injury. SP600125 significantly reduced thermal injury-induced blood dihydrorhodamine (DHR) 123 oxidation, iNOS expression, and lung permeability in WT mice but not in IL-1R1 mice. IL-1R1 --> WT chimeric mice rather than WT --> IL-1R1 chimeric mice showed less thermal injury-induced lung damage. fMLP increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production of neutrophils in WT mice but not in IL-1R1 mice. SP600125 decreased ROS production of neutrophils in WT mice but not in IL-1R1 mice. CONCLUSIONS Thermal injury-induced lung JNK activation; lung ICAM, VCAM, CXCR2, and MIP2 expression; and DHR 123 oxidation are IL-1 dependent. JNK inhibition decreases IL-1-mediated thermal injury-induced lung damage. Given that the IL-1 receptor is critical in thermal injury-induced p38 MAPK phosphorylation and ROS production of neutrophils, we conclude that IL-1 mediates thermal injury-induced iNOS expression and lung damage through the JNK signaling pathway.

Abstract
Although studies have shown that 17β-estradiol (E2) prevents neutrophil infiltration and organ damage following trauma-hemorrhage, the mechanism by which E2inhibits neutrophil transmigration remains unknown. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is thought to play a central role in exacerbation of inflammation and is associated with lung injury. MIF regulates the inflammatory response through modulation of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). Activation of TLR4 results in the release of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, which induce neutrophil infiltration and subsequent tissue damage. We hypothesized that E2mediates its salutary effects in the lung following trauma-hemorrhage via negative regulation of MIF and modulation of TLR4 and cytokine-induced chemotaxis. C3H/HeOuJ mice were subjected to trauma-hemorrhage (mean blood pressure 35 ± 5 mmHg for ∼90 min, then resuscitation) or sham operation. Mice received vehicle, E2, or E2in combination with recombinant mouse MIF protein (rMIF). Trauma-hemorrhage increased lung MIF and TLR4 protein levels as well as lung and systemic levels of cytokines/chemokines. Treatment of animals with E2following trauma-hemorrhage prevented these changes. However, administration of rMIF protein with E2abolished the E2-mediated decrease in lung TLR4 levels, lung and plasma levels of IL-6, TNF-α, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, and keratinocyte-derived chemokine (KC). Administration of rMIF protein also prevented E2-mediated reduction in neutrophil influx and tissue damage in the lungs following trauma-hemorrhage. These results suggest that the protective effects of E2on lung injury following trauma-hemorrhage are mediated via downregulation of lung MIF and TLR4-induced cytokine/chemokine production.

Abstract
Ventilator-induced lung injury plays a crucial role in the outcome of patients with acute lung injury. Previous studies have shown a role for the cytokine tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) in stretch-induced alveolar neutrophil recruitment, but the involvement of TNF in stretch-induced pulmonary edema is unclear. We investigated the effects of TNF through its individual p55 and p75 receptors on early pulmonary edema formation during high stretch ventilation, before neutrophil infiltration. Anesthetized wild-type or TNF receptor single/double knockout mice were ventilated with high tidal volume ( approximately 38 ml/kg) for 2 h or until they developed arterial hypotension. Pulmonary edema was assessed by physiological parameters including respiratory mechanics and blood gases, and by lavage fluid protein, lung wet:dry weight ratio, and lung permeability measurements using fluorescence-labeled albumin. High stretch ventilation in wild-type and TNF receptor double knockout animals induced similar pulmonary edema, and only 25-30% of mice completed the protocol. In contrast, the p55 receptor knockout mice were strongly protected from edema formation, with all animals completing the protocol. Myeloperoxidase assay indicated that this protective effect was not associated with decreased pulmonary neutrophil sequestration. The p75 receptor knockout mice, however, displayed increased susceptibility to edema formation, and no animals survived the full 2 h. These results demonstrate a novel role for TNF signaling (independent from its effects on neutrophil recruitment) specifically through the p55 receptor, in promoting high stretch-induced pulmonary edema, whereas p75 signaling may play an opposing role.

Abstract
UNLABELLED It has been shown that the inflammatory response and cellular damage after hemorrhagic shock are influenced by resuscitation strategies. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play an important role in signal transduction in inflammatory conditions. However, alterations in TLR expression following hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation have not been well documented. This study was conducted to measure the impact of different resuscitation strategies on TLR expression and downstream signaling in key organs. METHODS Sprague Dawley rats (n=38) were subjected to a severe volume-controlled hemorrhage protocol. After 75 min of shock, they were resuscitated over 45 min as follows: (1) lactated Ringer's (LR, 81 ml/kg), (2) ketone Ringer's (KR, 81 ml/kg), (3) 7.5% hypertonic saline (HTS, 9.7 ml/kg), (4) 6% hetastarch (HEX, 27 ml/kg), (5) pyruvate Ringer's (PR, 81 ml/kg). Sham hemorrhage (NH) and no resuscitation (NR) groups served as controls. The KR and PR solutions were identical to LR except for equimolar substitution of racemic lactate with beta hydroxybutyrate and sodium pyruvate, respectively. At the end of resuscitation, the expression of TLRs (types 1-10), and cytokines (IL-10, IL-1beta and TNF-alpha) were measured in the lung and spleen using RT-PCR. Levels of phosphorylated and total IkB-alpha and NF-kappaB were detected by Western blotting. The systemic and lung protein levels of TNF-alpha were measured using ELISA and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Expression of TLRs in the lung was affected more than in the spleen by hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation. In the lung, hemorrhage increased TLR-2, -3 and -6 (but not TLR-4) mRNA expression, with an up-regulation of the ratio of phosphor-NF-kappaBp65 and total NF-kappaBp65, NF-kappaBp65 activation, and enhanced systemic and tissue TNF-alpha protein levels. Post-resuscitation, TLR mRNA profile and subsequent downstream proteins in the lung and spleen were affected by the choice of resuscitation strategy. CONCLUSIONS Hemorrhagic shock activates TLR signaling in lung, but not the spleen, probably through an up-regulation of TLR gene expression, and activation of NF-kappaB pathway. Resuscitation modulates this response in a fluid- and tissue-specific fashion.

Abstract
Previous studies showed that females in the proestrus stage of the reproductive cycle maintain organ functions after trauma-hemorrhage. However, it remains unknown whether the female reproductive cycle is an important variable in the regulation of lung injury after trauma-hemorrhage and, if so, whether the effect is mediated via upregulation of heme oxygenase (HO)-1. To examine this, female Sprague-Dawley rats during diestrus, proestrus, estrus, and metestrus phases of the reproductive cycle or 14 days after ovariectomy underwent soft tissue trauma and then hemorrhage (mean blood pressure 40 mmHg for 90 min followed by fluid resuscitation). At 2 h after trauma-hemorrhage or sham operation, lung myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1, cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant (CINC)-1, CINC-3, and HO-1 protein levels were measured. Plasma 17β-estradiol concentration was also determined. The results indicated that trauma-hemorrhage increased lung MPO activity and ICAM-1, CINC-1, and CINC-3 levels in ovariectomized females. These parameters were found to be similar to sham-operated animals in proestrus female rats subjected to trauma-hemorrhage. Lung HO-1 protein level in proestrus females was increased significantly compared with female rats subjected to trauma-hemorrhage during diestrus, estrus, and metestrus phases of the reproductive cycle and ovariectomized rats. Furthermore, plasma 17β-estradiol level was highest in proestrus females. Administration of the HO inhibitor chromium mesoporphyrin prevented the attenuation of shock-induced lung damage in proestrus females. Thus these findings suggest that the female reproductive cycle is an important variable in the regulation of lung injury following trauma-hemorrhage and that the protective effect in proestrus females is likely mediated via upregulation of HO-1.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Hemorrhagic shock followed by resuscitation (HSR) commonly triggers an inflammatory response that leads to acute respiratory distress syndrome. HYPOTHESIS HSR exacerbates mechanical stress-induced lung injury by rendering the lung more susceptible to ventilator-induced lung injury. METHODS Rats were subjected to HSR, and were randomized into an HSR + high tidal volume and zero positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) or a HSR + low tidal volume with 5 cm H(2)O PEEP. A sham-operated rat + high tidal volume and zero PEEP served as a control. RESULTS HSR increased susceptibility to ventilator-induced lung injury as evidenced by an increase in lung elastance and the wet/dry ratio and a reduction in Pa(O(2)) as compared with the other groups. The lung injury observed in the HSR + high tidal volume group was associated with a higher level of interleukin 6 in the lung and blood, increased epithelial cell apoptosis in the kidney and small intestine villi, and a tendency toward high levels of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, and creatinine in plasma. CONCLUSIONS HSR priming renders the lung and kidney more susceptible to mechanical ventilation-induced organ injury.

Abstract
Hemorrhage in mice results in decreased ATP levels in the jejunum, lung, kidney, heart, and brain but not in liver tissue lysates, albeit at variable levels and time kinetics. The decreased protein expression and activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) accounted for the hemorrhage-induced ATP loss. Treatment with geldanamycin (GA; 1 microg/g body wt), a known inducer of heat shock protein (HSP)70, inhibited the hemorrhage-induced ATP loss in the jejunum, lung, heart, kidney, and brain. GA was found to increase PDH protein, preserve PDH enzymatic activity, and inhibit mucosal injury in jejunum tissues. GA-induced HSP70i was found to form complexes with PDH protein. HSP70 gene transfer into intestinal epithelial cells promoted PDH and ATP levels, whereas HSP70 short interfering RNA limited them. We conclude that agents able to increase the expression of HSP70 and PDH may be of value in reducing pathology resulting from hemorrhage-associated ATP loss.

Abstract
Although 17β-estradiol (E2) administration after trauma-hemorrhage attenuates lung injury in male rodents, it is not known whether the salutary effects are mediated via estrogen receptor (ER)-α or ER-β. We hypothesized that the salutary effects of E2 lung are mediated via ER-β. Male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent trauma-hemorrhage (mean blood pressure 40 mmHg for 90 min, then resuscitation). E2 (50 μg/kg), ER-α agonist propyl pyrazole triol (PPT; 5 μg/kg), ER-β agonist diarylpropiolnitrile (DPN; 5 μg/kg), or vehicle (10% DMSO) was injected subcutaneously during resuscitation. At 24 h after trauma-hemorrhage or sham operation, bronchoalveolar fluid (BALF) was collected for protein concentration, LDH activity, and nitrate/nitrite and IL-6 levels. Moreover, lung tissue was used for inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) mRNA/protein expression, nitrate/nitrite and IL-6 levels, and wet/dry weight ratio ( n = 6 rats/group). One-way ANOVA and Tukey's test were used for statistical analysis. The results indicated that E2 downregulated lung iNOS expression after trauma-hemorrhage. Protein concentration, LDH activity, and nitrate/nitrite and IL-6 levels in BALF and nitrate/nitrite and IL-6 levels in the lung increased significantly after trauma-hemorrhage; however, administration of DPN but not PPT significantly improved all parameters. Moreover, DPN treatment attenuated trauma-hemorrhage-mediated increase in iNOS mRNA/protein expression in the lung. In contrast, no significant change in the above parameters was observed with PPT. Thus the salutary effects of E2 on attenuation of lung injury are mediated via ER-β, and ER-β-induced downregulation of iNOS likely plays a significant role in the DPN-mediated lung protection after trauma-hemorrhage.

Abstract
Traumatic injury, surgical interventions and sepsis are amongst some of the clinical conditions that result in marked activation of neuroendocrine and opiate responses aimed at restoring haemodynamic and metabolic homeostasis. The central activation of the neuroendocrine and opiate systems, known collectively as the stress response, is elicited by diverse physical stressor conditions, including ischaemia, glucopenia and inflammation. The role of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and sympathetic nervous system in counterregulation of haemodynamic and metabolic alterations has been studied extensively. However, that of the endogenous opiates/opioid system is still unclear. In addition to activation of the opiate receptor through the endogenous release of opioids, pharmacotherapy with opiate receptor agonists is frequently used for sedation and analgesia of injured, septic and critically ill patients. How this affects the haemodynamic, cardiovascular, metabolic and immune responses is poorly understood. The variety of opiate receptor types, their specificity and ubiquitous location both in the central nervous system and in the periphery adds additional complicating factors to the clear understanding of their contribution to the stress response to the various physical perturbations. This review aims at discussing scientific evidence gathered from preclinical studies on the role of endogenous opioids as well as those administered as pharmacological agents on the host cardiovascular, neuroendocrine, metabolic and immune response mechanisms critical for survival from injury in perspective with clinical observations that provide parallel assessment of relevant outcome measures. When possible, the clinical relevance and corresponding scenarios where this evidence can be integrated into our understanding of the clinical implications of opiate effects will be examined. Overall, the scientific basis to enhance clinical judgment and expectations when using opioid sedation and analgesia in the management of the injured, septic or postsurgical patient will be discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung injury often occurs following hemorrhage and we hypothesized that this might be due to the effects of hemorrhage on perfusion distribution among alveoli. To test this, we measured interalveolar perfusion distribution in anesthetized, spontaneously breathing rats subjected to blood losses of 0%, 10%, 20%, or 30% of calculated blood volume. METHODS We measured interalveolar perfusion distribution by analyzing trapping patterns of 4-mum diameter fluorescent latex particles infused into the pulmonary circulation. The particles (2 x 10) were infused 1 hour after each animal had been bled, and the lungs were then removed and air-dried. Using a confocal fluorescence microscope, we collected images of the particles in eight sections of each lung. Each image encompassed 3,360 x 3,360 x 100 microm (approximately 5,000 alveoli), and included 3-4,000 particles. Particle distributions in the images were measured using the method of dispersion index (DI) analysis. A DI value of zero corresponds to a statistically random distribution; the more DI exceeds zero, the more the distribution is clustered or inhomogenous. RESULTS The largest DI values for the four groups were: 0%, 0.69 +/- 0.41; 10%, 0.57 +/- 0.58; 20%, 0.72 +/- 0.34; 30%, 1.38 +/- 0.41. The 30% blood loss group had a max DI value approximately twofold greater than those of the other three (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that interalveolar perfusion distribution becomes markedly maldistributed at blood losses of 30%. This contributes to ventilation-perfusion mismatching, and may be a precipitating event for lung injury following hemorrhage.

Abstract
The type 1 55-kDa TNF receptor (TNFR1) is an important modulator of lung inflammation. Here, we hypothesized that the proteasome might regulate TNFR1 shedding from human airway epithelial cells. Treatment of NCI-H292 human airway epithelial cells for 2 h with the specific proteasome inhibitor clasto-lactacystin beta-lactone induced the shedding of proteolytically cleaved TNFR1 ectodomains. Clasto-lactacystin beta-lactone also induced soluble TNFR1 (sTNFR1) release from the A549 pulmonary epithelial cell line, as well as from primary cultures of human small airway epithelial cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Furthermore, sTNFR1 release induced by clasto-lactacystin beta-lactone was not a consequence of apoptosis or the extracellular release of TNFR1 exosome-like vesicles. The clasto-lactacystin beta-lactone-induced increase in TNFR1 shedding was associated with reductions in cell surface receptors and intracytoplasmic TNFR1 stores that were primarily localized to vesicular structures. As expected, the broad-spectrum zinc metalloprotease inhibitor TNF-alpha protease inhibitor 2 (TAPI-2) attenuated clasto-lactacystin beta-lactone-mediated TNFR1 shedding, which is consistent with its ability to inhibit the zinc metalloprotease-catalyzed cleavage of TNFR1 ectodomains. TAPI-2 also reduced TNFR1 on the cell surface and attenuated the clasto-lactacystin beta-lactone-induced reduction of intracytoplasmic TNFR1 vesicles. This suggests that TNFR1 shedding induced by clasto-lactacystin beta-lactone involves the zinc metalloprotease-dependent trafficking of intracytoplasmic TNFR1 vesicles to the cell surface. Together, these data are consistent with the conclusion that proteasomal activity negatively regulates TNFR1 shedding from human airway epithelial cells, thus identifying previously unrecognized roles for the proteasome and zinc metalloproteases in modulating the generation of sTNFRs.

Abstract
Hemorrhagic shock causes myocardial contractile depression. Although this myocardial disorder is associated with increased expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), the role of TNF-alpha as a myocardial depressant factor in hemorrhagic shock remains to be determined. Moreover, it is unclear which TNF-alpha receptor mediates the myocardial depressive effects of TNF-alpha. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) regulates cellular expression of proinflammatory mediators following lipopolysaccharide stimulation and may be involved in the tissue inflammatory response to injury. The contribution of TLR4 signaling to tissue TNF-alpha response to hemorrhagic shock and TLR4's role in myocardial depression during hemorrhagic shock are presently unknown. We examined the relationship of TNF-alpha production to myocardial depression in a mouse model of nonresuscitated hemorrhagic shock, assessed the influence of TLR4 mutation, resulting in defective signaling, on TNF-alpha production and myocardial depression, and determined the roles of TNF-alpha and TNF-alpha receptors in myocardial depression using a gene knockout (KO) approach. Hemorrhagic shock resulted in increased plasma and myocardial TNF-alpha (4.9- and 4.5-fold, respectively) at 30 min and induced myocardial contractile depression at 4 h. TLR4 mutation abolished the TNF-alpha response and attenuated myocardial depression (left ventricular developed pressure of 43.0 +/- 6.2 mmHg in TLR4 mutant vs. 30.0 +/- 3.6 mmHg in wild type, P < 0.05). TNF-alpha KO also attenuated myocardial depression in hemorrhagic shock, and the p55 receptor KO, but not the p75 receptor KO, mimicked the effect of TNF-alpha KO. The results suggest that TLR4 plays a novel role in signaling to the TNF-alpha response during hemorrhagic shock and that TNF-alpha through the p55 receptor activates a pathway leading to myocardial depression. Thus TLR4 and the p55 TNF-alpha receptor represent therapeutic targets for preservation of cardiac mechanical function during hemorrhagic shock.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the importance of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha receptor-1 (TNFR1)-mediated pathways in a murine model of myocardial infarction and remodeling. One hundred and ninety-four wild-type (WT) and TNFR1 gene-deleted (TNFR1KO) mice underwent left coronary artery ligation to induce myocardial infarction. On days 1, 3, 7, and 42, mice underwent transesophageal echocardiography. Hearts were weighed, and the left ventricle (LV) was assayed for matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and -9 activity and for tissue inhibitor of MMP (TIMP)-1 and -2 expression. Deletion of the TNFR1 gene substantially improved survival because no deaths were observed in TNFR1KO mice versus 56.4% and 18.2% in WT males and females, respectively (P < 0.002). At 42 days, LV remodeling, assessed by LV function (fractional area change of 31.9 +/- 7.9%, 32.2 +/- 7.7%, and 21.6 +/- 7.1% in TNFR1KO males, TNFR1KO females, and WT females, respectively, P < 0.04), and hypertrophy (heart weight-to-body weight ratios of 5.435 +/- 0.986, 5.485 +/- 0.677, and 6.726 +/- 0.704 mg/g, P < 0.04) were ameliorated in TNFR1KO mice. MMP-9 activity was highest at 3 days postinfarction and was highest in WT males (1.9 +/- 0.4 4, 3.6 +/- 0.24, 1.15 +/- 0.28, and 1.3 +/- 1.2 ng/100 microg protein, respectively, in TNFR1KO males, WT males, TNFR1KO females, and WT females, respectively, P < 0.002), whereas at 3 days TIMP-1 mRNA fold upregulation compared with type- and sex-matched controls was lowest in WT males (138.32 +/- 13.05, 46.74 +/- 5.43, 186.09 +/- 28.07, and 101.76 +/- 22.48, respectively, P < 0.002). MMP-2 and TIMP-2 increased similarly in all infarcted groups. These findings suggest that the benefits of TNFR1 ablation might be attributable at least in part to the attenuation of cytokine-mediated imbalances in MMP-TIMP activity.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine whether hemorrhage affects the levels of a variety of stress-related proteins and whether changes can be inhibited by drugs reported to provide protection from ischemia and reperfusion injury. Male Swiss Webster mice were subjected to a 40% hemorrhage without resuscitation. Western blot analysis indicated that c-Jun (an AP-1 protein), Kruppel-like factor 6 (KFL6), and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) were upregulated sequentially in that order. Pretreatment of mice with geldanamycin (GA) 16 h before hemorrhage effectively inhibited the expression of the proteins KLF6 and iNOS, whereas caffeic acid phenethyl ester did not. GA pretreatment increased inducible heat shock protein (HSP) 70 but not HSP90 in both sham and hemorrhagic tissues. The overexpressed inducible HSP70 formed complexes with KLF6 and iNOS. These results suggest that GA may be therapeutically useful for reducing hemorrhage-induced injury when used as a presurgical treatment or when added to resuscitation fluids.

Abstract
Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR-4), initially identified as an LPS receptor, is critical to the signaling of a variety of danger signals, including heat shock protein 60, fibrinogen, and fibronectin. Recent data also suggest that TLR-4 plays a role in determining survival in both endotoxemia and hemorrhagic shock. We hypothesized that a functional TLR-4 would be required for hemorrhage and endotoxin-induced acute lung injury. Hemorrhage- and endotoxin-induced lung TNF-alpha mRNA and protein production, neutrophil accumulation, and protein permeability were dependent on a functional TLR-4. Hemorrhage-induced nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB activation was independent of functional TLR-4, whereas endotoxin-induced activation of NF-kappaB requires a functional TLR-4 for full response. Therefore, we conclude that 1) hemorrhage-induced acute lung injury is TLR-4 dependent and 2) hemorrhage has a different and distinct TLR-4-dependent intracellular activation mechanism compared with endotoxemia.

Abstract
Shock-induced enhanced capillary permeability is associated with alterations in the interstitial matrix composition and contributes to organ damage. This study was designed to evaluate albumin extravasation in various organ tissues during severe, hemorrhagic shock without fluid resuscitation and reperfusion. Target value of hemorrhagic shock was a reduction of cardiac output (CO) by 50% induced by removal of blood. Twelve anesthetized Sprague-Dawley rats (260-325 g) kept under continuous hemodynamic monitoring were randomly assigned to a group of hemorrhagic shock (n = 6) and a control group of normovolemic animals (n = 6). After 30 min of shock 50 mg/kg b.w. Evans blue (EB) was injected intravenously followed by an incubation period of 20 min. Exsanguination and wash out of the intravascular space was performed by a pressure-controlled perfusion with heparinized saline before harvesting organs to quantify albumin-bound EB extravasation. We found that withdrawal of 4.7 +/- 0.4 mL (mean, +/-SEM) blood, which accounts for 21.1% of the calculated total blood volume, resulted in a reduction of CO from 36.1 +/- 3.1 to 19.4 +/- 2.7 mL/min. Simultaneously, MAP decreased from 98 +/- 6 to 40 +/- 1 mmHg. In hemorrhaged rats, the interstitial concentration of EB in lung and kidney was significantly higher than observed in intact animals, whereas heart, spleen, liver, ileum, skeletal muscle, and skin showed no significant microvascular damage. We conclude that despite the absence of fluid resuscitation and reperfusion, microvascular damage in lung and kidney is evident within the first thirty minutes of hemorrhagic shock.

Abstract
RATIONALE AND HYPOTHESIS Acute lung injury is a frequent complication of severe sepsis or blood loss and is often associated with an excessive inflammatory response requiring mechanical ventilation. We tested the hypothesis that the types of fluids used during early resuscitation have an important effect on the evolution of lung injury. METHODS Rats were subjected to either hemorrhage or endotoxemia for 1 hr, followed by resuscitation to a controlled mean blood pressure with Ringer's lactate, 5% albumin, or 25% albumin for 1 hr. After resuscitation, blood cytokine levels were measured. The lung was then excised and ventilated with a tidal volume of 30 mL/kg for 2 hrs. RESULTS The volume of fluids required was significantly smaller in the albumin-treated groups than in the Ringer's lactate groups. In the hemorrhagic shock model, plasma concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-6, and macrophage inflammatory protein-2 were significantly lower and interleukin-10 was significantly higher in the albumin-treated groups compared with the Ringer's lactate-treated group. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha and macrophage inflammatory protein-2 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were lower and interleukin-10 was higher in the albumin-treated groups than in the Ringer's lactate group. The decreased cytokine production was associated with a reduction of hydrogen peroxide formation with albumin resuscitation. The lung wet/dry ratio was lower in the 5% albumin (0.54 +/- 0.01) and 25% albumin (0.55 +/- 0.02) groups than in the Ringer's lactate group (0.62 +/- 0.02; both p <.05). These effects of albumin seen in the hemorrhagic shock model were not observed in the endotoxic shock model. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that resuscitation with albumin may have utility in reducing ventilator-induced lung injury after hemorrhagic shock, but not after endotoxic shock. These findings suggest that the mechanisms leading to ventilator-induced lung injury after hemorrhage differ from those after endotoxemia.

Abstract
We studied the role of NF-kappaB in acute inflammation caused by gut ischemia-reperfusion through selective ablation of IkappaB kinase (IKK)-beta, the catalytic subunit of IKK that is essential for NF-kappaB activation. Ablation of IKK-beta in enterocytes prevented the systemic inflammatory response, which culminates in multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) that is normally triggered by gut ischemia-reperfusion. IKK-beta removal from enterocytes, however, also resulted in severe apoptotic damage to the reperfused intestinal mucosa. These results show the dual function of the NF-kappaB system, which is responsible for both tissue protection and systemic inflammation, and underscore the caution that should be exerted in using NF-kappaB and IKK inhibitors.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) have been implicated in cardiac dysfunction during endotoxemia. Because IL-18 is a proinflammatory cytokine known to mediate the production of TNF-alpha and IL-1beta and to induce the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), we hypothesized that neutralization of IL-18 would attenuate lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cardiac dysfunction. Mice (C57BL/6) were injected with LPS (0.5 mg/kg ip) or vehicle (normal saline), and left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP) was determined by the Langendorff technique. LVDP was depressed by 38% at 6 h after LPS. LPS-induced myocardial dysfunction was associated with increased myocardial levels of TNF-alpha and IL-1beta as well as increased expression of ICAM-1/VCAM-1. Pretreatment with neutralizing anti-mouse IL-18 antibody attenuated LPS-induced myocardial dysfunction (by 92%) and was associated with reduced myocardial IL-1beta production (65% reduction) and ICAM-1/VCAM-1 expression (50% and 35% reduction, respectively). However, myocardial TNF-alpha levels were not influenced by neutralization of IL-18. In conclusion, neutralization of IL-18 protects against LPS-induced myocardial dysfunction. IL-18 may mediate endotoxemic myocardial dysfunction through induction of and/or synergy with IL-1beta, ICAM-1, and VCAM-1.

Abstract
Both intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) have been implicated in neutrophil-mediated lung and liver injury during sepsis. However, the role of these adhesion molecules as well as the contribution of neutrophils in myocardial dysfunction during sepsis remains to be determined. The purpose of this study was to examine the role of ICAM-1, VCAM-1, and neutrophils in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced myocardial dysfunction. Mice were subjected to LPS (0.5 mg/kg ip) or vehicle (normal saline), and left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP) was determined by the Langendorff technique. LVDP was depressed by nearly 40% at 6 h after LPS. Immunofluorescent staining revealed a temporal increase in myocardial ICAM-1/VCAM-1 expression and neutrophils after LPS. Antibody blockade of VCAM-1 reduced myocardial neutrophil accumulation and abrogated LPS-induced cardiac dysfunction. Antibody blockade or absence of ICAM-1 (gene knockout) also abrogated LPS-induced cardiac dysfunction but did not reduce neutrophil accumulation. Neutrophil depletion (vinblastine or antibody) did not protect from LPS-induced myocardial dysfunction. Our results suggest that although endotoxemic myocardial dysfunction requires both ICAM-1 and VCAM-1, it occurs independent of neutrophil accumulation.
