Metalloproteinases in Cardiac Surgery: A Systematic Review. Biomolecules 2023; 13:biom13010113. [PMID: 36671498 PMCID: PMC9855939 DOI: 10.3390/biom13010113] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2022] [Revised: 12/28/2022] [Accepted: 01/04/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
The role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in routine cardiac operations including cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is still poorly explored. The purpose of this systematic review was to thoroughly summarize and discuss the existing knowledge of the MMP profile in cardiac surgery. All studies meeting the inclusion criteria (i.e., those reporting detailed data about MMP release during and after CPB) were selected after screening the literature published between July 1975 and August 2022. Fifteen trials that enrolled a total of 431 participants were included. MMP levels were found to be significantly correlated with CPB in all included studies. The gelatinases MMP-2 and MMP-9 were highly released in cardiac surgery with CPB. MMP-9 levels were found to be increased after CPB start and during the duration of CPB. Particularly, it is overexpressed both in the myocardial tissue and circulating in the bloodstream. Also, MMP-2 levels increased after CPB both in plasma and in myocardial tissue. MMP-7, MMP-8, and MMP-13 levels increased after CPB start and remained elevated up to 6 h later. Increased levels of MMPs were associated with adverse post-operative outcomes. Conversely, TIMP-1 decreased with CPB. Mechanical and pharmacological strategies were applied in two studies to analyze their effect on the inflammatory response to cardiac surgery and CPB and on postoperative outcomes. New targeted MMP inhibitor therapies could protect against systemic inflammatory response syndrome after CPB and should be the subject of future large prospective multicenter randomized clinical trials.

Abstract
Introduction Drug repurposing can be a successful approach to deal with the scarcity of cost-effective therapies in situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Tetracyclines have previously shown efficacy in preclinical acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) models and initial predictions and experimental reports suggest a direct antiviral activity against SARS-CoV2. Furthermore, a few clinical reports indicate their potential in COVID-19 patients. In addition to the scarcity and limitations of the scientific evidence, the effectiveness of tetracyclines in experimental ARDS has been proven extensively, counteracting the overt inflammatory reaction and fibrosis sequelae due to a synergic combination of pharmacological activities. Areas covered This paper discusses the scientific evidence behind the application of tetracyclines for ARDS/COVID-19. Expert Opinion The benefits of their multi-target pharmacology and their safety profile overcome the limitations, such as antibiotic activity and low commercial interest. Immunomodulatory tetracyclines and novel chemically modified non-antibiotic tetracyclines have therapeutic potential. Further drug repurposing studies in ARDS and severe COVID-19 are necessary.

Identification and Validation of Pathogenic Genes in Sepsis and Associated Diseases by Integrated Bioinformatics Approach. Genes (Basel) 2022; 13:genes13020209.

Abstract
Sepsis is a clinical syndrome with high mortality and morbidity rates. In sepsis, the abrupt release of cytokines by the innate immune system may cause multiorgan failure, leading to septic shock and associated complications. In the presence of a number of systemic disorders, such as sepsis, infections, diabetes, and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) type 5 is defined by concomitant cardiac and renal dysfunctions Thus, our study suggests that certain mRNAs and unexplored pathways may pave a way to unravel critical therapeutic targets in three debilitating and interrelated illnesses, namely, sepsis, SLE, and CRS. Sepsis, SLE, and CRS are closely interrelated complex diseases likely sharing an overlapping pathogenesis caused by erroneous gene network activities. We sought to identify the shared gene networks and the key genes for sepsis, SLE, and CRS by completing an integrative analysis. Initially, 868 DEGs were identified in 16 GSE datasets. Based on degree centrality, 27 hub genes were revealed. The gProfiler webtool was used to perform functional annotations and enriched molecular pathway analyses. Finally, core hub genes (EGR1, MMP9, and CD44) were validated using RT-PCR analysis. Our comprehensive multiplex network approach to hub gene discovery is effective, as evidenced by the findings. This work provides a novel research path for a new research direction in multi-omics biological data analysis.

Abstract
The development of pulmonary atelectasis is common in the surgical patient. Pulmonary atelectasis can cause various degrees of gas exchange and respiratory mechanics impairment during and after surgery. In its most serious presentations, lung collapse could contribute to postoperative respiratory insufficiency, pneumonia, and worse overall clinical outcomes. A specific risk assessment is critical to allow clinicians to optimally choose the anesthetic technique, prepare appropriate monitoring, adapt the perioperative plan, and ensure the patient's safety. Bedside diagnosis and management have benefited from recent imaging advancements such as lung ultrasound and electrical impedance tomography, and monitoring such as esophageal manometry. Therapeutic management includes a broad range of interventions aimed at promoting lung recruitment. During general anesthesia, these strategies have consistently demonstrated their effectiveness in improving intraoperative oxygenation and respiratory compliance. Yet these same intraoperative strategies may fail to affect additional postoperative pulmonary outcomes. Specific attention to the postoperative period may be key for such outcome impact of lung expansion. Interventions such as noninvasive positive pressure ventilatory support may be beneficial in specific patients at high risk for pulmonary atelectasis (e.g., obese) or those with clinical presentations consistent with lung collapse (e.g., postoperative hypoxemia after abdominal and cardiothoracic surgeries). Preoperative interventions may open new opportunities to minimize perioperative lung collapse and prevent pulmonary complications. Knowledge of pathophysiologic mechanisms of atelectasis and their consequences in the healthy and diseased lung should provide the basis for current practice and help to stratify and match the intensity of selected interventions to clinical conditions.

Abstract
First described in the mid-1960s, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening form of respiratory failure with an overall mortality rate of approximately 40%. Despite significant advances in the understanding and treatment of ARDS, no substantive pharmacologic therapy has proven to be beneficial, and current management continues to be primarily supportive. Beyond their antibacterial activity, several antibiotics such as macrolides and tetracyclines exert pleiotropic immunomodulatory effects that might be able to rectify the dysregulated inflammatory response present in patients with ARDS. This review aims to provide an overview of preclinical and clinical studies that describe the immunomodulatory effects of antibiotics in ARDS. Moreover, the underlying mechanisms of their immunomodulatory properties will be discussed. Further studies are necessary to investigate their full therapeutic potential and to identify ARDS phenotypes which are most likely to benefit from their immunomodulatory effects.

Upregulation of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 Protects against Sepsis-Induced Acute Lung Injury via Promoting the Release of Soluble Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2021; 2021:8889313. [PMID: 33628393 PMCID: PMC7889353 DOI: 10.1155/2021/8889313] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2020] [Revised: 12/21/2020] [Accepted: 01/17/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Dysregulation of matrix metalloproteinase- (MMP-) 9 is implicated in the pathogenesis of acute lung injury (ALI). However, it remains controversial whether MMP-9 improves or deteriorates acute lung injury of different etiologies. The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of acute lung injury. MMPs are known to mediate RAGE shedding and release of soluble RAGE (sRAGE), which can act as a decoy receptor by competitively inhibiting the binding of RAGE ligands to RAGE. Therefore, this study is aimed at clarifying whether and how pulmonary knockdown of MMP-9 affected sepsis-induced acute lung injury as well as the release of sRAGE in a murine cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) model. The analysis of GEO mouse sepsis datasets GSE15379, GSE52474, and GSE60088 revealed that the mRNA expression of MMP-9 was significantly upregulated in septic mouse lung tissues. Elevation of pulmonary MMP-9 mRNA and protein expressions was confirmed in CLP-induced mouse sepsis model. Intratracheal injection of MMP-9 siRNA resulted in an approximately 60% decrease in pulmonary MMP-9 expression. It was found that pulmonary knockdown of MMP-9 significantly increased mortality of sepsis and exacerbated sepsis-associated acute lung injury. Pulmonary MMP-9 knockdown also decreased sRAGE release and enhanced sepsis-induced activation of the RAGE/nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway, meanwhile aggravating sepsis-induced oxidative stress and inflammation in lung tissues. In addition, administration of recombinant sRAGE protein suppressed the activation of the RAGE/NF-κB signaling pathway and ameliorated pulmonary oxidative stress, inflammation, and lung injury in CLP-induced septic mice. In conclusion, our data indicate that MMP-9-mediated RAGE shedding limits the severity of sepsis-associated pulmonary edema, inflammation, oxidative stress, and lung injury by suppressing the RAGE/NF-κB signaling pathway via the decoy receptor activities of sRAGE. MMP-9-mediated sRAGE production may serve as a self-limiting mechanism to control and resolve excessive inflammation and oxidative stress in the lung during sepsis.

Inflamm Res 2021; 70:89-98. [PMID: 33185705 DOI: 10.1007/s00011-020-01420-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2020] [Revised: 09/26/2020] [Accepted: 11/01/2020] [Indexed: 10/23/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The dysfunction of pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (PMVECs) is one of the critical characteristics of acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) induced by severe infection. PIM1 is a constitutively active serine/threonine kinase that is involved in multiple biological processes. However, the underlying correlation between PIM1 and PMVECs injury remains unclear. The main purpose of this study was to reveal roles of PIM1 and explore the potential mechanisms during the development of endotoxin-induced ALI induced by intraperitoneal LPS administration. MATERIALS AND METHODS PIM1 level in the lung tissues of endotoxin-induced ALI mice or plasma derived from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)-induced ALI patients were measured. The protective roles of PIM1 specific inhibitor SMI-4a on endotoxin-induced lung injuries were evaluated through histological, permeability, neutrophil infiltration and survival assessment. The relationship between PIM1 and ELK3/ICAM-1 axis was validated in vivo and vitro. The correlation between plasma PIM1 and indicative vascular endothelium injury biomarkers (PaO2/FiO2 ratio, Ang-II, E-selectin and PAI-1) levels derived from CPB-induced ALI patient were analyzed. RESULTS PIM1 expression in the lung tissues was increased in the mice of endotoxin-induced ALI. The PIM1 specific inhibitor SMI-4a administration relieved the severity of endotoxin-induced ALI. More importantly, PIM1 modulates ICAM1 expression through regulating transcription factor ELK3 expression in vitro. Eventually, plasma PIM1 level was positively correlated with Ang-II and PAI-1 levels but negatively correlated with SpO2/FiO2 ratio among CPB induced ALI patients. CONCLUSION Our results indicated that PIM1 inhibition carried a protective role against endotoxin-induced ALI by modulating the ELK3/ICAM1 axis on PMVECs. PIM1 may be a potential therapeutic target for endotoxin-induced ALI.

Abstract
The role of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) in biology is often recognized during pathogenesis associated with PMN hyper- or hypo-functionality in various disease states. However, in the vast majority of cases, PMNs contribute to resilience and tissue homeostasis, with continuous PMN-mediated actions required for the maintenance of health, particularly in mucosal tissues. PMNs are extraordinarily well-adapted to respond to and diminish the damaging effects of a vast repertoire of infectious agents and injurious processes that are encountered throughout life. The commensal biofilm, a symbiotic polymicrobial ecosystem that lines the mucosal surfaces, is the first line of defense against pathogenic strains that might otherwise dominate, and is therefore of critical importance for health. PMNs regularly interact with the commensal flora at the mucosal tissues in health and limit their growth without developing an overt inflammatory reaction to them. These PMNs exhibit what is called a para-inflammatory phenotype, and have reduced inflammatory output. When biofilm growth and makeup are disrupted (i.e., dysbiosis), clinical symptoms associated with acute and chronic inflammatory responses to these changes may include pain, erythema and swelling. However, in most cases, these responses indicate that the immune system is functioning properly to re-establish homeostasis and protect the status quo. Defects in this healthy everyday function occur as a result of PMN subversion by pathological microbial strains, genetic defects or crosstalk with other chronic inflammatory conditions, including cancer and rheumatic disease, and this can provide some avenues for therapeutic targeting of PMN function. In other cases, targeting PMN functions could worsen the disease state. Certain PMN-mediated responses to pathogens, for example Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs), might lead to undesirable symptoms such as pain or swelling and tissue damage/fibrosis. Despite collateral damage, these PMN responses limit pathogen dissemination and more severe damage that would otherwise occur. New data suggests the existence of unique PMN subsets, commonly associated with functional diversification in response to particular inflammatory challenges. PMN-directed therapeutic approaches depend on a greater understanding of this diversity. Here we outline the current understanding of PMNs in health and disease, with an emphasis on the positive manifestations of tissue and organ-protective PMN-mediated inflammation.

Abstract
Background: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease discovered in 2019 and currently in outbreak across the world. Lung injury with severe respiratory failure is the leading cause of death in COVID-19, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). However, there still lacks efficient treatment for COVID-19 induced lung injury and acute respiratory failure. Methods: Inhibition of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) caused by the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 is the most plausible mechanism of lung injury in COVID-19. We performed drug repositioning analysis to identify drug candidates that reverse gene expression pattern in L1000 lung cell line HCC515 treated with ACE2 inhibitor. We confirmed these drug candidates by similar bioinformatics analysis using lung tissues from patients deceased from COVID-19. We further investigated deregulated genes and pathways related to lung injury, as well as the gene-pathway-drug candidate relationships. Results: We propose two candidate drugs, COL-3 (a chemically modified tetracycline) and CGP-60474 (a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor), for treating lung injuries in COVID-19. Further bioinformatics analysis shows that 12 significantly enriched pathways (P-value <0.05) overlap between HCC515 cells treated with ACE2 inhibitor and human COVID-19 patient lung tissues. These include signaling pathways known to be associated with lung injury such as TNF signaling, MAPK signaling and chemokine signaling pathways. All 12 pathways are targeted in COL-3 treated HCC515 cells, in which genes such as RHOA, RAC2, FAS, CDC42 have reduced expression. CGP-60474 shares 11 of 12 pathways with COL-3 and common target genes such as RHOA. It also uniquely targets other genes related to lung injury, such as CALR and MMP14. Conclusions: This study shows that ACE2 inhibition is likely part of the mechanisms leading to lung injury in COVID-19, and that compounds such as COL-3 and CGP-60474 have potential as repurposed drugs for its treatment.

Abstract
With the recognition in the 1960s and 1970s of the periodontopathic importance of the microbial biofilm and its specific anaerobic microorganisms, periodontitis was treated as an infectious disease (more recently, as a dysbiosis). Subsequently, in the 1980s, host-response mechanisms were identified as the mediators of the destruction of the collagen-rich periodontal tissues (gingiva, periodontal ligament, alveolar bone), and the periodontopathogens were now regarded as the "trigger" of the inflammatory/collagenolytic response that characterizes actively destructive periodontitis. Also at this time a new pharmacologic strategy emerged, entitled "host-modulation therapy", based on 2 major findings: (1) that the ability of tetracycline antibiotics to inhibit periodontal breakdown was due (in large part) to their previously unrecognized ability to inhibit the host-derived matrix metalloproteinases (notably, the collagenases, gelatinases, macrophage metalloelastase), and by mechanisms unrelated to the antimicrobial properties of these medications; and (2) that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as flurbiprofen, again by nonantimicrobial mechanisms, could reduce the severity of periodontitis (however, the adverse effects of long-term therapy precluded their development as safe and effective host-modulatory agents). Additional mechanistic studies resulted in the development of novel nonantimicrobial formulations (Periostat® [now generic] and Oracea®) and compositions of tetracyclines (notably chemically modified tetracycline-3) as host-modulator drugs for periodontitis, arthritis, cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases, cancer, and, more recently, for local and systemic bone loss in postmenopausal women. Identification of the cation-binding active site in the tetraphenolic chemically modified tetracycline molecules drove the development of a new category of matrix metalloproteinase-inhibitor compounds, with a similar active site, the biphenolic chemically modified curcumins. A lead compound, chemically modified curcumin 2.24, has demonstrated safety and efficacy in vitro, in cell culture, and in vivo in mouse, rat, rabbit, and dog models of disease. In conclusion, novel host-modulation compounds have shown significant promise as adjuncts to traditional local therapy in the clinical management of periodontal disease; appear to reduce systemic complications of this all-too-common "inflammatory/collagenolytic" disease; and Oracea® is now commonly prescribed for inflammatory dermatologic diseases.

Abstract
Systemic inflammation and multi-organ failure represent hallmarks of the post-cardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS) and predict severe neurological injury and often fatal outcomes. Current interventions for cardiac arrest focus on the reversal of precipitating cardiac pathologies and the implementation of supportive measures with the goal of limiting damage to at-risk tissue. Despite the widespread use of targeted temperature management, there remain no proven approaches to manage reperfusion injury in the period following the return of spontaneous circulation. Recent evidence has implicated the lung as a moderator of systemic inflammation following remote somatic injury in part through effects on innate immune priming. In this review, we explore concepts related to lung-dependent innate immune priming and its potential role in PCAS. Specifically, we propose and investigate the conceptual model of lung-brain coupling drawing from the broader literature connecting tissue damage and acute lung injury with cerebral reperfusion injury. Subsequently, we consider the role that interventions designed to short-circuit lung-dependent immune priming might play in improving patient outcomes following cardiac arrest and possibly other acute neurological injuries.

Trials 2018; 19:624.

Abstract
Background Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) are frequent after on-pump cardiac surgery. Cardiac surgery results in a complex pulmonary insult leading to high susceptibility to perioperative pulmonary atelectasis. For technical reasons, ventilator settings interact with the surgical procedure and traditionally, low levels of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) have been used. The objective is to compare a perioperative, multimodal and surgeon-controlled open-lung approach with conventional protective ventilation with low PEEP to prevent PPCs in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Methods/design The perioperative open-lung protective ventilation in cardiac surgery (PROVECS) trial is a multicenter, two-arm, randomized controlled trial. In total, 494 patients scheduled for elective cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and aortic cross-clamp will be randomized into one of the two treatment arms. In the experimental group, systematic recruitment maneuvers and perioperative high PEEP (8 cmH2O) are associated with ultra-protective ventilation during CPB. In this group, the settings of the ventilator are controlled by surgeons in relation to standardized protocol deviations. In the control group, no recruitment maneuvers, low levels of PEEP (2 cmH2O) and continuous positive airway pressure during CPB (2 cmH2O) are used. Low tidal volumes (6–8 mL/kg of predicted body weight) are used before and after CPB in each group. The primary endpoint is a composite of the single PPCs evaluated during the first 7 postoperative days. Discussion The PROVECS trial will be the first multicenter randomized controlled trial to evaluate the impact of a perioperative and multimodal open-lung ventilatory strategy on the occurrence of PPCs after on-pump cardiac surgery. The trial design includes standardized surgeon-controlled protocol deviations that guarantee a pragmatic approach. The results will help anesthesiologists and surgeons aiming to optimize ventilatory settings during cardiac surgery. Trial registration Clinical Trials.gov, NCT 02866578.

Abstract
Cell migration is a core process to preserve homeostasis. Release of chemotactic signals induces changes in cell cytoskeleton to facilitate migration. This includes the rearrangement of cytoskeleton, genomic reprogramming and the modification of the surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM) to allow the motion of cells through. In the special case of repair after acute lung injury, cells must migrate while exposed to an increased mechanical stretch caused either by an increased work of breathing or positive-pressure ventilation. Interestingly, the cell response to this increased mechanical load can modify virtually all the mechanisms involved in cell migration. In this review we explore the interplay between stretch and the machinery responsible for cell migration. A translational approach to find new therapies in acute lung injury must take into account these interactions in order to develop effective treatments that promote lung repair.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is unclear whether maintaining pulmonary perfusion and ventilation during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) reduces pulmonary inflammatory tissue injury compared with standard CPB where the lungs are not ventilated and are minimally perfused. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that maintenance of lung perfusion and ventilation during CPB decreases regional lung inflammation, which may result in less pulmonary structural damage. METHODS Twenty-seven pigs were randomly allocated into a control group only submitted to sternotomy (n = 8), a standard CPB group (n = 9), or a lung perfusion group (n = 10), in which lung perfusion and ventilation were maintained during CPB. Hemodynamics, gas exchanges, respiratory mechanics, and systemic interleukins (ILs) were determined at baseline (T0), at the end of 90 minutes of CPB (T90), and 180 minutes after CPB (T180). Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) ILs were obtained at T0 and T180. Dorsal and ventral left lung tissue samples were examined for optical and electron microscopy. RESULTS At T90, there was a transient reduction in PaO2/FIO2 in CPB (126 ± 64 mm Hg) compared with the control and lung perfusion groups (296 ± 46 and 244 ± 57 mm Hg; P < 0.001), returning to baseline at T180. Serum ILs were not different among the groups throughout the study, whereas there were significant increases in BAL IL-6 (P < 0.001), IL-8 (P < 0.001), and IL-10 (P < 0.001) in both CPB and lung perfusion groups compared with the control group. Polymorphonuclear counts within the lung tissue were smaller in the lung perfusion group than in the CPB group (P = 0.006). Electron microscopy demonstrated extrusion of surfactant vesicles into the alveolar spaces and thickening of the alveolar septa in the CPB group, whereas alveolar and capillary histoarchitecture was better preserved in the lung perfusion group. CONCLUSIONS Maintenance of lung perfusion and ventilation during CPB attenuated early histologic signs of pulmonary inflammation and injury compared with standard CPB. Although increased compared with control animals, there were no differences in serum or BAL IL in animals receiving lung ventilation and perfusion during CPB compared with standard CPB.

Abstract
Background The impact of cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on the respiratory mucociliary function is unknown. This study evaluated the effects of CPB and interruption of mechanical ventilation on the respiratory mucociliary system. Methods Twenty-two pigs were randomly assigned to the control (n = 10) or CPB group (n = 12). After the induction of anesthesia, a tracheostomy was performed, and tracheal tissue samples were excised (T0) from both groups. All animals underwent thoracotomy. In the CPB group, an aorto-bicaval CPB was installed and maintained for 90 minutes. During the CPB, mechanical ventilation was interrupted, and the tracheal tube was disconnected. A second tracheal tissue sample was obtained 180 minutes after the tracheostomy (T180). Mucus samples were collected from the trachea using a bronchoscope at T0, T90 and T180. Ciliary beat frequency (CBF) and in situ mucociliary transport (MCT) were studied in ex vivo tracheal epithelium. Mucus viscosity (MV) was assessed using a cone-plate viscometer. Qualitative tracheal histological analysis was performed at T180 tissue samples. Results CBF decreased in the CPB group (13.1 ± 1.9 Hz vs. 11.1 ± 2.1 Hz, p < 0.05) but not in the control group (13.1 ± 1 Hz vs. 13 ± 2.9 Hz). At T90, viscosity was increased in the CPB group compared to the control (p < 0.05). No significant differences were observed in in situ MCT. Tracheal histology in the CPB group showed areas of ciliated epithelium loss, submucosal edema and infiltration of inflammatory cells. Conclusion CPB acutely contributed to alterations in tracheal mucocilliary function.

Abstract
AIM To study the effects of tanshinone IIA (TIIA) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury in mice and the underlying mechanisms. METHODS Mice were injected with LPS (10 mg/kg, i.p.), then treated with TIIA (10 mg/kg, i.p.). Seven hours after LPS injection, the lungs were collected for histological study. Protein, LDH, TNF-α and IL-1β levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in lungs were measured. Cell apoptosis and Bcl-2, caspase-3, NF-κB and HIF-1α expression in lungs were assayed. RESULTS LPS caused marked histological changes in lungs, accompanied by significantly increased lung W/D ratio, protein content and LDH level in BALF, and Evans blue leakage. LPS markedly increased neutrophil infiltration in lungs and inflammatory cytokines in BALF. Furthermore, LPS induced cell apoptosis in lungs, as evidenced by increased TUNEL-positive cells, decreased Bcl-2 content and increased cleaved caspase-3 content. Moreover, LPS significantly increased the expression of NF-κB and HIF-1α in lungs. Treatment of LPS-injected mice with TIIA significantly alleviated these pathological changes in lungs. CONCLUSION TIIA alleviates LPS-induced acute lung injury in mice by suppressing inflammatory responses and apoptosis, which is mediated via inhibition of the NF-κB and HIF-1α pathways.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Acute respiratory distress syndromes (ARDS) are devastating disorders of overwhelming pulmonary inflammation and hypoxemia, resulting in high morbidity and mortality. AREAS COVERED The main pharmacological treatment strategies have focused on the attempted inhibition of excessive inflammation or the manipulation of the resulting physiological derangement causing respiratory failure. Additionally, such interventions may allow reduced occurence mechanical ventilation injury. Despite promising preclinical and small clinical studies, almost all therapies have been shown to be unsuccessful in large-scale randomized controlled trials. The evidence for pharmacological treatment for ARDS is reviewed. Potential future treatments are also presented. EXPERT OPINION We suggest for future clinical trials addressing prevention and early intervention to attenuate lung injury and progression to respiratory failure.

Abstract
We evaluated the role of some matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in enhancing the effect of vitamin A and the inhibiting effect of methylprednisolone on amyloid arthropathy in brown layer chicks. We used 100 one-day-old Isa brown layer chicks. The chicks were allocated to one of four groups as follows: negative control group (I), vitamin A group (II), positive control group (III) and methylprednisolone group (IV). Amyloid arthropathy was induced by injections of complete Freund's adjuvant into the left intertarsal joints of the chicks. Serum vitamin A and tissue MMP (MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-9) levels were measured and differences among the groups were investigated. Serum vitamin A rates (μg/dl) were: 63.57 ± 4.10, 47.13 ± 10.62, 53.26 ± 10.79, 98.48 ± 8.20 in groups I, II, III and IV, respectively (p < 0.001). MMP-1, MMP-2 and MMP-9 levels were evaluated in tissues from the chickens with amyloid arthropathy. Methylprednisolone significantly suppressed the release of MMP-1 and MMP-2, and increased the release of MMP-9 in birds with amyloid arthropathy. In addition, vitamin A significantly increased the release of MMP-1, MMP-2 and MMP-9.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is a common clinical pathology detected in childhood. Bile acids (BAs) are present in reflux and cause various pathologies in the esophagus, the larynx, and the lungs. OBJECTIVE We aimed to show if aminoguanidine (AG) contributes to the biochemical and histopathologic treatment of experimental aspiration pneumonitis induced by BAs. METHODS Twenty-eight female Sprague Dawley rats were used. There were 4 groups in the study: (1) group aspirated with 0.9% saline (n = 7), (2) group aspirated with 0.9% saline and treated with AG (n = 7), (3) group aspirated with a solution of 10 mg/kg taurocholic acid and 5 mg/kg taurochenodeoxycholate (n = 7), and (4) group aspirated with BA and treated with AG (n = 7). The saline and BA solutions were administered as 1 mL/kg intratracheally. The AG was administered intraperitoneally twice a day at a 150 mg/kg dose for 7 days. The different histopathologic and biochemical parameters were analyzed. RESULTS Clara cell protein 16 and malondialdehyde levels were found to be significantly higher in the BA group than in the group where saline was administered; however, they were significantly lower in the BA + AG group than in the BA group. The total superoxide dismutase activity decreased significantly in the BA group compared with the group where saline was administered. A significant increase in superoxide dismutase activity was observed in the BA + AG group when compared with the group where only BA was administered. When the group where BA was administered solely was compared with the group where saline was administered, peribronchial inflammatory cell infiltration, alveolar septal infiltration, alveolar histiocytes, interstitial fibrosis, and granuloma were significantly higher in the BA group than in the saline group. When the BA + AG group was compared with the BA group, peribronchial inflammatory cell infiltration, alveolar septal infiltration, alveolar histiocytes, interstitial fibrosis, and granuloma were found to be significantly lower. CONCLUSIONS Oxidant stress increases and antioxidant capacity decreases in pneumonitis induced by BAs. AG administration as an antioxidant helps in recovery, both biochemically and histopathologically. Consequently, AG seems to be an alternative that should be considered in a conservative approach to treating aspiration pneumonitis.

Abstract
In 1983, it was first reported that tetracyclines (TCs) can modulate the host response, including (but not limited to) inhibition of pathologic matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity, and by mechanisms unrelated to the antibacterial properties of these drugs. Soon thereafter, strategies were developed to generate non-antibacterial formulations (subantimicrobial-dose doxycycline; SDD) and compositions (chemically modified tetracyclines; CMTs) of TCs as host-modulating drugs to treat periodontal and other inflammatory diseases. This review focuses on the history and rationale for the development of: (a) SDD which led to two government-approved medications, one for periodontitis and the other for acne/rosacea and (b) CMTs, which led to the identification of the active site of the drugs responsible for MMP inhibition and to studies demonstrating evidence of efficacy of the most potent of these, CMT-3, as an anti-angiogenesis agent in patients with the cancer, Kaposi's sarcoma, and as a potential treatment for a fatal lung disease (acute respiratory distress syndrome; ARDS). In addition, this review discusses a number of clinical studies, some up to 2 years' duration, demonstrating evidence of safety and efficacy of SDD formulations in humans with oral inflammatory diseases (periodontitis, pemphigoid) as well as medical diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, post-menopausal osteopenia, type II diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and a rare and fatal lung disease, lymphangioleiomyomatosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the influence of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) antibody on the lung expression level of matrix metalloproteinases-9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1). METHODS Thirty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group, model group, and intervention group. Endotoxin was intratracheally infused in the model and intervention groups. HGF antibody was injected in the rats of the intervention group from day 1 to day 14, while the same volume of saline was injected in the control group. The rats were sacrificed on day 28 after endotoxin treatment. The amounts of MMP-9 mRNA and TIMP-1 mRNA were measured by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, and protein expression levels of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 were measured by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS In the model group, both mRNA and protein expression levels of TIMP-1 were significantly increased, the same as MMP-9. In the intervention group, the increase of TIMP-1 was remarkably reduced compared with the model group, while the mRNA and protein expression levels of MMP-9 were still increased. CONCLUSION HGF activity may accelerate the repair of lung injury through contrary regulating the expression levels of TIMP-1 and MMP-9.

Abstract
During cardiopulmonary-bypass matrix-metalloproteinases released may contribute to ventricular dysfunction. This study was to determine plasma matrix-metalloproteinases in neonates after cardiopulmonary-bypass and their relation to post-operative course. A prospective observational study included 18 neonates having cardiac surgery. Plasma matrix-metalloproteinases-2 and 9 activities were measured by gelatin-zymography pre-operatively, on starting cardiopulmonarybypass, 7–8 min after aortic cross-clamp release, and 1h, 4h, 24h, and 3d after cardiopulmonary-bypass. Plasma concentrations of their tissue inhibitors 1 and 2 were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Cardiac function was assessed by serial echocardiography. Paired t-tests and Wilcoxon tests were used to assess temporal changes, and linear correlation with simultaneous clinical and cardiac function parameters were assessed using Pearson's product-moment correlation coefficient. Plasma matrix-metalloproteinases activities and their tissue inhibitor concentrations decreased during cardiopulmonary-bypass. Matrix-metalloproteinase-2 plasma activity increased progressively starting 1h after cardiopulmonarybypass and returned to pre-operative levels at 24h. Matrix-metalloproteinase-9 plasma activity increased significantly after release of aortic cross-clamp, peaked 7–8min later, and returned to baseline at 24h. Plasma tissueinhibitor 1 and 2 concentrations increased 1h after cardiopulmonary-bypass. Cardiac function improved from 4h to 3d after surgery (p<0.05). There was no evidence of significant correlations between matrix-metalloproteinases or their inhibitors and cardiac function, inotrope scores, organ dysfunction scores, ventilation days, or hospital days. The temporal profile of plasma matrix-metalloproteinases and their inhibitors after cardiopulmonary-bypass in neonates are similar to adults. In neonates, further study should determine whether circulating matrix-metalloproteinases are useful biomarkers of disease activity locally within the myocardium, and hence of clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Background Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) -8 and -9 may play key roles in the modulation of neutrophilic lung inflammation seen in pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). We aimed to perform a comprehensive analysis of MMP-8 and MMP-9 activity in tracheal aspirates of pediatric ARDS patients compared with non-ARDS controls, testing whether increased MMP-8 and -9 activities were associated with clinical outcomes. Methods Tracheal aspirates were collected from 33 pediatric ARDS patients and 21 non-ARDS controls at 48 hours of intubation, and serially for those who remained intubated greater than five days. MMPs, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMPs), human neutrophil elastase (HNE) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity were measured by ELISA, and correlated with clinical indicators of disease severity such as PRISM (Pediatric Risk of Mortality) scores, oxygen index (OI), multi-organ system failure (MOSF) and clinical outcome measures including length of intubation, ventilator-free days (VFDs) and mortality in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). Results Active MMP-9 was elevated early in pediatric ARDS subjects compared to non-ARDS controls. Higher MMP-8 and active MMP-9 levels at 48 hours correlated with a longer course of mechanical ventilation (r = 0.41, p = 0.018 and r = 0.75, p<0.001; respectively) and fewer number of VFDs (r = −0.43, p = 0.013 and r = −0.76, p<0.001; respectively), independent of age, gender and severity of illness. Patients with the highest number of ventilator days had the highest levels of active MMP-9. MMP-9 and to a lesser extent MMP-8 activities in tracheal aspirates from ARDS subjects were sensitive to blockade by small molecule inhibitors. Conclusions Higher MMP-8 and active MMP-9 levels at 48 hours of disease onset are associated with a longer duration of mechanical ventilation and fewer ventilator-free days among pediatric patients with ARDS. Together, these results identify early biomarkers predictive of disease course and potential therapeutic targets for this life threatening disease.

Abstract
At present, therapeutic interventions to treat acute lung injury (ALI) or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remain largely limited to lung-protective strategies, as no real molecular-pathophysiologic-driven therapeutic intervention has yet become available. This is in part the result of the heterogeneous nature of the etiological processes that contribute to the state of ALI/ARDS. This article sets out to understand the development of ALI resulting from indirect pulmonary insults, such as extrapulmonary sepsis and trauma, shock, burn injury or mass transfusion, as opposed to direct pulmonary challenges, such as pneumonia, aspiration or lung contusion. Here, we consider not only the experimental and clinical data concerning the roles of various immune (neutrophil, macrophage, lymphocyte and dendritic) as well as nonimmune (epithelial and endothelial) cells in orchestrating the development of ALI resulting from indirect pulmonary stimuli, but also how these cell populations might be targeted therapeutically.

Abstract
Sepsis is a disease process that has humbled the medical profession for centuries with its resistance to therapy, relentless mortality, and pathophysiologic complexity. Despite 30 years of aggressive, concerted, well-resourced efforts the biomedical community has been unable to reduce the mortality of sepsis from 30%, nor the mortality of septic shock from greater than 50%. In the last decade only one new drug for sepsis has been brought to the market, drotrecogin alfa-activated (Xigris™), and the success of this drug has been limited by patient safety issues. Clearly a new agent is desperately needed. The advent of recombinant human immune modulators held promise but the outcomes of clinical trials using biologics that target single immune mediators have been disappointing. The complex pathophysiology of the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is self-amplifying and redundant at multiple levels. In this review we argue that perhaps pharmacologic therapy for sepsis will only be successful if it addresses this pathophysiologic complexity; the drug would have to be pleiotropic, working on many components of the inflammatory cascade at once. In this context, therapy that targets any single inflammatory mediator will not adequately address the complexity of SIRS. We propose that chemically modified tetracycline-3, CMT-3 (or COL-3), a non-antimicrobial modified tetracycline with pleiotropic anti-inflammatory properties, is an excellent agent for the management of sepsis and its associated complication of the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The purpose of this review is threefold: (1) to examine the shortcomings of current approaches to treatment of sepsis and ARDS in light of their pathophysiology, (2) to explore the application of COL-3 in ARDS and sepsis, and finally (3) to elucidate the mechanisms of COL-3 that may have potential therapeutic benefit in ARDS and sepsis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute lung injury is a frequent complication after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Recent studies have reported that NF-κB plays an important role in the pathogenesis of post-CPB pulmonary dysfunction. Several signaling pathways, including the TLR4 pathway, induce NF-κB leading to an inflammatory response. We designed this study to determine whether or not curcumin inhibits TLR4 and MyD88 protein levels and ameliorates lung inflammatory injury in a rat CPB model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the following five groups (n = 12): sham; control (CPB); vehicle; low-dose curcumin (L-Cur); and high-dose curcumin (H-Cur). The percutaneous beating heart CPB model of rat was established. Animals were pretreated with a single intraperitoneal injection of vehicle, L-Cur (50 mg/kg), or H-Cur (200 mg/kg) 2 h prior to CPB. Blood were sampled at various time points, then lung tissues and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were harvested 24 h after CPB. RESULTS CPB induced a marked increase in the concentrations of interleukin-8, tumor necrosis factor-α, and matrix metalloproteinase-9 in plasma, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and lung tissues (P < 0.05 versus sham group), whereas curcumin pretreatment reduced these inflammatory markers. Curcumin had effective inhibitory effects on the expression of TLR4, MyD88, and NF-κB in lung tissues 24 h post-CPB (P < 0.05 versus vehicle group). Administration of curcumin remarkably decreased the lung injury score (L-Cur versus vehicle group, P = 0.024; H-Cur versus vehicle group, P = 0.013). CONCLUSIONS Curcumin may be an alternative therapy for protecting CPB-induced lung injury by suppressing the expression of inflammatory cytokines. This anti-inflammatory effect of curcumin is partly related to the inhibition of TLR4, MyD88, and NF-κB.

Abstract
Cellular functions within tissues are strictly regulated by the tissue microenvironment which comprises extracellular matrix and extracellular matrix-deposited factors such as growth factors, cytokines and chemokines. These molecules are metabolized by matrix metalloproteinases (MMP), a disintegrin and metalloproteinases (ADAM) and ADAM with thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTS), which are members of the metzincin superfamily. They function in various pathological conditions of both neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases by digesting different substrates under the control of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMP) and reversion-inducing, cysteine-rich protein with Kazal motifs (RECK). In neoplastic diseases MMP play a central role in cancer cell invasion and metastases, and ADAM are also important to cancer cell proliferation and progression through the metabolism of growth factors and their receptors. Numerous papers have described the involvement of these metalloproteinases in non-neoplastic diseases in nearly every organ. In contrast to the numerous review articles on their roles in cancer cell proliferation and progression, there are very few articles discussing non-neoplastic diseases. This review therefore will focus on the properties of MMP, ADAM and ADAMTS and their implications for non-neoplastic diseases of the cardiovascular system, respiratory system, central nervous system, digestive system, renal system, wound healing and infection, and joints and muscular system.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by alveolar-capillary barrier damage. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are implicated in the pathogenesis of ARDS. In the Beta Agonists in Acute Lung Injury Trial, intravenous salbutamol reduced extravascular lung water (EVLW) in patients with ARDS at day 4 but not inflammatory cytokines or neutrophil recruitment. We hypothesized that salbutamol reduces MMP activity in ARDS. METHODS MMP-1/-2/-3/-7/-8/-9/-12/-13 was measured in supernatants of distal lung epithelial cells, type II alveolar cells, and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid from patients in the Beta Agonists in Acute Lung Injury study by multiplex bead array and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs)-1/-2 by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. MMP-9 protein and activity levels were further measured by gelatin zymography and fluorokine assay. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS BAL fluid MMP-1/-2/-3 declined by day 4, whereas total MMP-9 tended to increase. Unexpectedly, salbutamol augmented MMP-9 activity. Salbutamol induced 33.7- and 13.2-fold upregulation in total and lipocalin-associated MMP-9, respectively at day 4, compared with 2.0- and 1.3-fold increase in the placebo group, p < 0.03. Salbutamol did not affect BAL fluid TIMP-1/-2. Net active MMP-9 was higher in the salbutamol group (4222 pg/mL, interquartile range: 513-7551) at day 4 compared with placebo (151 pg/mL, 124-2108), p = 0.012. Subjects with an increase in BAL fluid MMP-9 during the 4-day period had lower EVLW measurements than those in whom MMP-9 fell (10 vs. 17 mL/kg, p = 0.004): change in lung water correlated inversely with change in MMP-9, r = -.54, p = 0.0296. Salbutamol up-regulated MMP-9 and down-regulated TIMP-1/-2 secretion in vitro by distal lung epithelial cells. Inhibition of MMP-9 activity in cultures of type II alveolar epithelial cells reduced wound healing. CONCLUSIONS Salbutamol specifically up-regulates MMP-9 in vitro and in vivo in patients with ARDS. Up-regulated MMP-9 is associated with a reduction in EVLW. MMP-9 activity is required for alveolar epithelial wound healing in vitro. Data suggest MMP-9 may have a previously unrecognized beneficial role in reducing pulmonary edema in ARDS by improving alveolar epithelial healing.

Abstract
The primary function of neutrophils in host defense is to contain and eradicate invading microbial pathogens. This is achieved through a series of swift and highly coordinated responses culminating in ingestion (phagocytosis) and killing of invading microbes. While these tasks are usually performed without injury to host tissues, in pathologic circumstances such as sepsis, potent antimicrobial compounds can be released extracellularly, inducing a spectrum of responses in host cells ranging from activation to injury and death. In the lung, such inflammatory damage is believed to contribute to the pathogenesis of diverse lung diseases, including acute lung injury and the acute respiratory distress syndrome, chronic obstructive lung disease, and cystic fibrosis. In these disorders, epithelial cells are targets of leukocyte-derived antimicrobial products, including proteinases and oxidants. Herein, we review the mechanisms involved in the physiologic process of neutrophil transepithelial migration, including the role of specific adhesion molecules on the leukocyte and epithelial cells. We examine the responses of the epithelial cells to the itinerant leukocytes and their cytotoxic products and the consequences of this for lung injury and repair. This paradigm has important clinical implications because of the potential for selective blockade of these pathways to prevent or attenuate lung injury.

Abstract
As advances in medical technology improve the efficacy of cell and tissue transplantation, a void remains in our knowledge base as to the specific molecular responses of cells to low-temperature storage. While much focus has been given to solution formulation for tissue perfusion during storage, investigations into cold exposure-induced complex molecular changes remain limited. The intent of this study was to quantify the levels of cell death following hypothermic storage in a lung cell model, establishing a foundation for future in-depth molecular analysis. Normal human lung fibroblasts (IMR-90) were stored for 1 day or 2 days and small airway epithelial cells (SAEC) were stored for 5 days or 7 days at 4°C in complete media, ViaSpan, or ViaSpan + pan-caspase (VI) inhibitor. (Poststorage viability was assessed for 3 days using alamarBlue(™).) Sample analysis revealed that IMR-90 cells stored in ViaSpan remained 80% (±9) viable after 1 day of storage and 21% (±7) viable after 2 days of storage. SAEC cells stored in ViaSpan remained 81% (±5) viable after 5 days and 28% (±7) after 7 days. Microfluidic flow cytometry analysis of the apoptotic and necrotic populations in the ViaSpan-stored samples revealed that in the IMR-90 cells stored for 2 days, 7% of the population was apoptotic at 4-h poststorage, while ∼70% was identified as necrotic. Analysis of the SAEC cell system following 7 days of ViaSpan storage revealed an apoptotic peak of 19% at 4-h poststorage and a corresponding necrotic peak of 19%. Caspase inhibition during hypothermic storage increased viability 33% for IMR-90 and 25% for SAEC. Data revealed a similar pattern of cell death, through both apoptosis and necrosis, once the onset of cold storage failure began, implying a potential conserved mechanism of cold-induced cell death. These data highlight the critical need for a more in-depth understanding of the molecular changes that occur as a result of cold exposure in cells and tissues.

Abstract
Lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor-1 (LOX-1), a cell surface receptor expressed in endothelial cells, is known to mediate oxidized LDL-induced vascular inflammation and atherogenesis. Although the role of LOX-1 in vascular inflammation has been well established, its involvement in acute lung inflammation and injury remains unclear. In the present study, we examined the effects of a LOX-1-blocking antibody on lung inflammation in a mouse endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury model. We demonstrated that intraperitoneal challenge with LPS induced a rapid and robust increase in LOX-1 expression in mouse lung. Pre-treatment of mice with anti-LOX-1-blocking antibody significantly inhibited LPS-induced lung inflammation as indicated by decreased neutrophil accumulation in the lung. Furthermore, anti-LOX-1 was capable of inhibiting LPS-induced inflammatory responses, including NF-kappaB activation, ICAM-1 expression and apoptotic signaling, in mouse lung. Collectively, these results indicate that LOX-1 may serve as a valuable therapeutic target in the prevention of acute lung inflammation and injury in sepsis.

Abstract
In spite of protective ventilatory strategies, Acute Lung Injury (ALI) remains associated with high morbidity and mortality. One reason for the lack of therapeutic options might be that ALI is a co-morbid event associated with a diverse family of diseases and, thus, may be the result of distinct pathological processes. Among them, activated neutrophil- (PMN-) induced tissue injury and epithelial cell apoptosis mediated lung damage represent two potentially important candidate pathomechanisms that have been put forward. Several approaches have been undertaken to test these hypotheses, with substantial success in the treatment of experimental forms of ALI. With this in mind, we will summarize these two current hypotheses of ALI briefly, emphasizing the role of apoptosis in regulating PMN and/or lung epithelial cell responses. In addition, the contribution that Fas-mediated inflammation may play as a potential biological link between lung cell apoptosis and PMN recruitment will be considered, as well as the in vivo application of small interfering RNA (siRNA) as a novel approach to the inhibition of ALI and its therapeutic implications.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is released by neutrophils at the sites of acute inflammation. This enzyme modulates matrix turnover and inflammatory response, and its activity has been found to be increased after ventilator-induced lung injury. To clarify the role of MMP-9, mice lacking this enzyme and their wild-type counterparts were ventilated for 2 h with high- or low-peak inspiratory pressures (25 and 15 cmH2O, respectively). Lung injury was evaluated by gas exchange, respiratory mechanics, wet-to-dry weight ratio, and histological analysis. The activity of MMP-9 and levels of IL-1β, IL-4, and macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP-2) were measured in lung tissue and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). Cell count and myeloperoxidase activity were measured in BALF. There were no differences between wild-type and Mmp9−/− animals after low-pressure ventilation. After high-pressure ventilation, wild-type mice exhibited an increase in MMP-9 in tissue and BALF. Mice lacking MMP-9 developed more severe lung injury than wild-type mice, in terms of impaired oxygenation and lung mechanics, and higher damage in the histological study. These effects correlated with an increase in both cell count and myeloperoxidase activity in the BALF, suggesting an increased neutrophilic influx in response to ventilation. An increase in IL-1β and IL-4 in the BALF only in knockout mice could be responsible for the differences. There were no differences between genotypes in MMP-2, MMP-8, or tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases. These results show that MMP-9 protects against ventilator-induced lung injury by decreasing alveolar neutrophilic infiltration, probably by modulation of the cytokine response in the air spaces.

Abstract
A 30-year-old man who is a heroin addict was diagnosed with uncontrolled tricuspid valve endocarditis and repeated lung abscesses. He underwent tricuspid valvectomy for the endocarditis. After surgery the patient had severe tricuspid regurgitation and hypoxemia develop. Due to severe tricuspid regurgitation-induced ventricular distension and persistent low cardiac output, reimplantation of the tricuspid valve was planned for 2 weeks after the first operation. To avoid lung injury caused by the cardiopulmonary bypass and to preserve right ventricular function, a self-made superior and inferior vena cava shunt was connected to the pulmonary artery. The tricuspid valve was implanted without cardiopulmonary bypass.

Abstract
Neutrophil elastase (NE) activity is increased in many diseases. Other families of proteases, including cathepsins and matrix metalloproteases (MMPs), are also present at elevated levels in similar disease conditions. We postulated that NE could induce expression of cathepsins and MMPs in human macrophages. NE exposure resulted in macrophages, producing significantly greater amounts of cathepsin B and latent and active MMP-2. Cathepsin B and MMP-2 activities were decreased in Pseudomonas-infected NE knockout mice compared with wild-type littermates. We also demonstrate that NE can activate NF-kappaB in macrophages, and inhibition of NF-kappaB resulted in a reduction of NE-induced cathepsin B and MMP-2. Also, inhibition of TLR-4 or transfection of macrophages with dominant-negative IL-1R-associated kinase-1 resulted in a reduction of NE-induced cathepsin B and MMP-2. This study describes for the first time a novel hierarchy among proteases whereby a serine protease up-regulates expression of MMPs and cathepsins. This has important implications for therapeutic intervention in protease-mediated diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Upregulation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) has been associated with chronic lung allograft rejection known as bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome. It has been suggested that MMP inhibition could prevent the rejection response. However, the effect of MMP inhibition on lung allograft rejection has not been reported. METHODS Utilizing a rat model of lung transplantation, tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMP-1 and TIMP-2) were overexpressed by gene therapy in F344 rat lung allografts prior to transplantation into WKY recipient rats. Separately, WKY rats that received F344 lung allografts were treated systemically with COL-3, a global MMP inhibitor. RESULTS TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 had differential effects on delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses to donor antigens and type V collagen, an autoantigen involved in the rejection response. Neither TIMP-1 or TIMP-2 affected the onset of rejection pathology. COL-3 suppressed DTH responses to donor antigens and type V collagen, abrogated local production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and interleukin-1beta. Although it did not prevent rejection pathology, COL-3 (30 mg/kg) induced intragraft B cell hyperplasia suggestive of posttransplant proliferative disorder (PTLD). CONCLUSIONS These data identify a complex role for MMPs and TIMPs in the immunopathogenesis of lung allograft rejection, and indicate their effects are not limited to matrix remodeling.

Abstract
Sepsis can result in excessive and maladaptive inflammation that is responsible for more than 215,00 deaths per year in the United State alone. Current strategies for reducing the morbidity and mortality associated with sepsis rely on treatment of the syndrome rather than prophylaxis. We have been investigating a modified tetracycline, COL-3, which can be given prophylactically to patients at high risk for developing sepsis. Our group has shown that COL-3 is very effect at preventing the sequelae of sepsis if given before or immediately after injury in both rat and porcine sepsis models. In this study, we wanted to determine the "treatment window" for COL-3 after injury at which it remains protective. Sepsis was induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). Rats were anesthetized and placed into five groups: CLP (n = 20) = CLP without COL-3, sham (n = 5) = surgery without CLP or COL-3, COL3@6h (n = 10) = COL-3 given by gavage 6 h after CLP, COL3@12h (n = 10) = COL-3 given by gavage 12 h after CLP, and COL3@24h (n = 20) = COL-3 given by gavage 24 h after CLP. COL-3 that was given at 6 and 12 h after CLP significantly improved survival as compared with the CLP and the CLP@24h groups. Improved survival was associated with a significant improvement in lung pathology assessed morphologically. These data suggest that COL-3 can be given up to 12 h after trauma and remain effective.

Abstract
Antibiotics can have a biological effect apart from their anti-bacterial effect. We hypothesized that doxycycline could attenuate acute lung injury through its biological effect. Lipopolysaccharide or doxycycline-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae was administered intratracheally into mice with the co-administration of doxycycline. Thereafter, the lung pathology, intraalveolar inflammatory cells, bacterial number, and matrix metalloproteinases were investigated. Matrix metalloproteinases, neutrophil migration, and alveolar destruction were induced by lipopolysaccharide. Doxycycline was thus found to improve all of these symptoms. In addition, an inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases, CGS27023A, attenuated lipopolysaccharide-induced lung injury. Doxycycline also attenuated the lung injury induced by doxycycline-resistant S. pneumoniae and improved the mortality rate although the bacterial number in the lung did not change. Our data indicated that doxycycline could attenuate acute lung injury through a biological effect that was different from its antibiotic effect.

Abstract
Postpump syndrome is associated with systemic inflammation. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-2 and -9 contribute to proinflammatory and platelet-activator reactions. Nitric oxide (NO) is involved in the regulation of MMPs. The objectives of our study were to investigate the intensity of inflammation induced by 3 different surgical procedures, the effects of inflammation on the activity of MMPs, and the regulation of inflammation by inhaled NO (20 ppm). Inhaled NO was initiated immediately after tracheal intubation and maintained for the total duration of the experiments. Thirty pigs were equally randomized into 6 groups [sham; sham + NO; cardiopulmonary bypass; bypass + NO; bypass + lipopolysaccharide (1 microg/kg for 50 min); bypass + lipopolysaccharide + NO] and animals were subjected to anesthesia and mechanical ventilation up to 24 h. The levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage were measured using zymography. Bypass resulted in a time-dependent rise in MMP activity, an effect potentiated by lipopolysaccharide. Inhaled NO attenuated the effects of bypass + lipopolysaccharide. These results confirm that MMP-2 and MMP-9 are associated with the inflammatory process causing the postpump syndrome. Preemptive and continuous administration of inhaled NO helps to prevent increased MMP-2 and MMP-9 activity.
