Inspiratory resistive breathing (IRB) induces cytokine expression in the diaphragm. The mechanism of this cytokine induction remains elusive. The roles of MAPKs and NF-κB and the impact of oxidative stress in IRB-induced cytokine upregulation in the diaphragm were studied. Wistar rats were subjected to IRB (50% of maximal inspiratory pressure) via a two-way nonrebreathing valve for 1, 3, or 6 h. Additional groups of rats subjected to IRB for 6 h were randomly assigned to receive either solvent or N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) or inhibitors of NF-κB (BAY-11-7082), ERK1/2 (PD98059), and P38 MAPK (SB203580) to study the effect of oxidative stress, NF-κB, and MAPKs in IRB-induced cytokine upregulation in the diaphragm. Quietly breathing animals served as controls. IRB upregulated cytokine (IL-6, TNF-α, IL-10, IL-2, IL-1β) protein levels in the diaphragm and resulted in increased activation of MAPKs (P38, ERK1/2) and NF-κB. Inhibition of NF-κB and ERK1/2 blunted the upregulation of all cytokines except that of IL-6, which was further increased. P38 inhibition attenuated all cytokine (including IL-6) upregulation. Both P38 and ERK1/2 inhibition decreased NF-κB/p65 subunit phosphorylation. NAC pretreatment blunted IRB-induced cytokine upregulation in the diaphragm and resulted in decreased ERK1/2, P38, and NF-κB/p65 phosphorylation. In conclusion, IRB-induced cytokine upregulation in the diaphragm is under the regulatory control of MAPKs and NF-κB. IL-6 is regulated differently from all other cytokines through a P38-dependent and NF-κB independent pathway. Oxidative stress is a stimulus for IRB-induced cytokine upregulation in the diaphragm. 相似文献

Effects of loaded breathing and hypoxia on diaphragm metabolism as measured by (31)P-NMR spectroscopy. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Diaphragm fatigue may contribute to respiratory failure. (31)P-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is a useful tool to assess energetic changes within the diaphragm during fatigue, as indicated by P(i) accumulation and phosphocreatine (PCr) depletion. We hypothesized that loaded breathing during hypoxia would lead to diaphragm fatigue and inadequate aerobic metabolism. Seven piglets were anesthetized by using halothane inhalation. Diaphragmatic contractility was assessed by transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi) at end expiration with the airway occluded. A nuclear magnetic resonance surface coil placed under the right hemidiaphragm measured P(i) and PCr during four conditions: control, inspiratory resistive breathing (IRB), IRB with hypoxia, and recovery (IRB without hypoxia). IRB alone resulted in hypercarbia (32 +/- 7 to 61 +/- 21 Torr) and respiratory acidosis but no change in diaphragm force output or aerobic metabolism. Combined IRB and hypoxia resulted in decreased force output (Pdi decreased by 40%; from 30 +/- 17 to 19 +/- 11 mmHg) and evidence of metabolic stress (ratio of P(i) to PCr increased by 290%; from 0.19 +/- 0.09 to 0.74 +/- 0.27). We conclude that diaphragm fatigue associated with inadequate aerobic oxidative metabolism occurs in the setting of loaded breathing and hypoxia. Conversely, aerobic metabolism and force output of the diaphragm remain unchanged from control during loaded normoxic or hyperoxic breathing despite the onset of respiratory failure. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to determine whether induction of either inspiratory muscle fatigue (expt 1) or diaphragmatic fatigue (expt 2) would alter the breathing pattern response to large inspiratory resistive loads. In particular, we wondered whether induction of fatigue would result in rapid shallow breathing during inspiratory resistive loading. The breathing pattern during inspiratory resistive loading was measured for 5 min in the absence of fatigue (control) and immediately after induction of either inspiratory muscle fatigue or diaphragmatic fatigue. Data were separately analyzed for the 1st and 5th min of resistive loading to distinguish between immediate and sustained effects. Fatigue was achieved by having the subjects breathe against an inspiratory threshold load while generating a predetermined fraction of either the maximal mouth pressure or maximal transdiaphragmatic pressure until they could no longer reach the target pressure. Compared with control, there were no significant alterations in breathing pattern after induction of fatigue during either the 1st or 5th min of resistive loading, regardless of whether fatigue was induced in the majority of the inspiratory muscles or just in the diaphragm. We conclude that the development of inspiratory muscle fatigue does not alter the breathing pattern response to large inspiratory resistive loads. 相似文献

The effect of muscle activation on muscle nitric oxide (NO) production remains controversial. Whereas NO release increases in in vitro activated muscles and in vivo limb muscles, diaphragmatic NO synthase (NOS) activity declines after 3 h of inspiratory resistive loading (IRL). We tested in this study the hypotheses that acute IRL decreases diaphragmatic NO derivatives levels and reduces protein expression of neuronal (nNOS), endothelial (eNOS), and inducible (iNOS) NO synthases, as well as 3-nitrotyrosine formation. Anesthetized, tracheostomized, spontaneously breathing adult rats were subjected to IRL (50% of the maximum inspiratory pressure) for 1, 3, or 6 h. Quietly breathing rats served as controls. After 3 h of IRL, muscle eNOS and nNOS protein levels rose by 80 and 60% of control values, respectively. Whereas eNOS expression did not change any further, nNOS expression reached 550% of control values after 6 h of IRL. Strong iNOS protein expression was detected in the diaphragms after 6 h of IRL. Total NO derivatives levels in the diaphragm declined during IRL as a result of reduction in nitrate, nitrite, and nitrosothiols. Diaphragmatic protein tyrosine nitration decreased in response to IRL, and this reduction was mainly due to reduced tyrosine nitration of enolase and aldolase. We conclude that diaphragmatic NO derivatives levels decline in response to IRL and that the rise in diaphragmatic NOS protein expression may be a compensatory response designed to counterbalance the decline in NOS activity. 相似文献

The physiological mechanisms mediating the detection of mechanical loads are unknown. This is, in part, due to the lack of an animal model of load detection that could be used to investigate specific sensory systems. We used American Foxhounds with tracheal stomata to behaviorally condition the detection of inspiratory occlusion and graded resistive loads. The resistive loads were presented with a loading manifold connected to the inspiratory port of a non-rebreathing valve. The dogs signaled detection of the load by lifting their front paw off a lever. Inspiratory occlusion was used as the initial training stimulus, and the dogs could reliably respond within the first or second inspiratory effort to 100% of the occlusion presentations after 13 trials. Graded resistances that spanned the 50% detection threshold were then presented. The detection threshold resistances (delta R50) were 0.96 and 1.70 cmH2O.l-1.s. Ratios of delta R50 to background resistance were 0.15 and 0.30. The near-threshold resistive loads did not significantly change expired PCO2 or breathing patterns. These results demonstrate that dogs can be conditioned to reliably and specifically signal the detection of graded inspiratory mechanical loads. Inspiration through the tracheal stoma excludes afferents in the upper extrathoracic trachea, larynx, pharynx, nasal passages, and mouth from mediating load detection in these dogs. It is unknown which remaining afferents (vagal or respiratory muscle) are responsible for load detection. 相似文献

We investigated the effects of PGF2 alpha on the breathing patterns and electric activity of costal and crural parts of the diaphragm in 9 anesthetized newborn pigs. The change in diaphragmatic tension was evaluated as the change in transdiaphragmatic pressure. Because PGF2 alpha induces bronchoconstriction and an increase in respiratory resistances, the changes induced by prostaglandin were evaluated as differences between bronchoconstriction after PGF2 alpha and resistive load obtained by applying gradual occlusion to the inspiratory line of the breathing circuit. Our results show that PGF2 alpha decreased respiratory frequency with lengthening of expiratory time, while the resistive load increased both respiratory phases. The changes in breathing pattern were associated with different electrical activities of the diaphragm. While resistive load did not significantly change the EMG power spectrum, PGF2 alpha recruited new motor units. Furthermore, resistive load induced synchronization of the inspiratory time discharge of the costal and crural parts of the diaphragm, while after PGF2 alpha infusion there was an early inspiratory discharge of the crural part. 相似文献

Beneficial effects of exercise training in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are acknowledged. However, high-intensity exercise may enhance muscle oxidative stress in severe COPD patients. We hypothesized that high-intensity exercise training of long duration does not deteriorate muscle redox status. In the vastus lateralis and blood of 18 severe COPD patients and 12 controls, before and after an 8-week training program, protein oxidation and nitration, antioxidant systems, and inflammatory cytokines were examined. At baseline, COPD patients showed greater muscle oxidative stress and superoxide dismutase activity and circulating inflammatory cytokines than controls. Among COPD patients, muscle and blood protein carbonylation levels were correlated. Both groups showed training-induced increase in VO(2) peak and decreased blood lactate levels. After training, among the COPD patients, blood protein nitration levels were significantly reduced and muscle protein oxidation and nitration levels did not cause impairment. Muscle and blood levels of inflammatory cytokines were not modified by training in either patients or controls. We conclude that in severe COPD patients, high-intensity exercise training of long duration improves exercise capacity while preventing the enhancement of systemic and muscle oxidative stress. In addition, in these patients, resting protein oxidation levels correlate between skeletal muscle and blood compartments. 相似文献

Previous fiber-optic studies in humans have demonstrated narrowing of the glottic aperture in expiration during application of expiratory resistive loads. Nine healthy subjects were studied to determine the effect of expiratory resistive loads on the electromyographic activity of the thyroarytenoid (TA) muscle, a vocal cord adductor. Four of the nine subjects also underwent the application of inspiratory resistive loads and voluntary prolongation of either inspiratory (TI) or expiratory (TE) time. TA activity was recorded by intramuscular hooked-wire electrodes. During quiet breathing in all subjects, the TA was phasically active on expiration and often tonically active throughout the respiratory cycle. TA expiratory activity progressively increased with increasing levels of expiratory load. Inspiratory loads resulted in increased TA "inspiratory" activity. Voluntary prolongation of TE to times similar to those reached during loaded breathing induced increases in TA expiratory activity similar to those reached during the loaded state. Voluntary prolongation of TI was associated with an increase in TA inspiratory activity. Similar increases in TI during inspiratory loading or voluntary conditions were associated with comparable increases in TA inspiratory activity in three of the four subjects. In conclusion, increased activation of TA during the application of expiratory resistive loads implies that the reported narrowing of glottic aperture during expiratory loading is an active phenomenon. Changes in activation of the TA with resistive loads appear to be related to changes in respiratory pattern. 相似文献

In six normal male subjects we compared the O2 cost of resistive breathing (VO2 resp) between equivalent external inspiratory (IRL) and expiratory loads (ERL) studied separately. Each subject performed four pairs of runs matched for tidal volume, breathing frequency, flow rates, lung volume, pressure-time product, and work rate. Basal O2 uptake, measured before and after pairs of loaded runs, was subtracted from that measured during resistive breathing to obtain VO2 resp. For an equivalent load, the VO2 resp during ERL (184 +/- 17 ml O2/min) was nearly twice that obtained during IRL (97 +/- 9 ml O2/min). This twofold difference in efficiency between inspiratory and expiratory resistive breathing may reflect the relatively lower mechanical advantage of the expiratory muscles in overcoming respiratory loads. Variable recruitment of expiratory muscles may explain the large variation of results obtained in studies of respiratory muscle efficiency in normal subjects. 相似文献

Strenuous diaphragmatic contractions that are induced by inspiratory resistive breathing initiate an inflammatory response that involves the elevation of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines within the diaphragm, which may then spill into the circulation. The production of reactive oxygen species within working respiratory muscles increases in response to these strenuous diaphragmatic contractions. At the same time, diaphragmatic nitric oxide (NO) production declines significantly, despite a time-dependent increase in NO synthase isoform protein expression. The increase in adhesion molecule expression and infiltration of granulocytes and macrophages that follows may contribute to the contraction-induced diaphragm injury. Enhanced generation of reactive oxygen species, oxidative stress augmentation, reduced NO production, and glycogen depletion are potential stimuli for the cytokine induction that is secondary to strenuous diaphragmatic contractions. This production of cytokines within the diaphragm may contribute to the diaphragmatic muscle fiber injury that occurs with strenuous contractions or to the expected repair process. TNF-alpha is a cytokine that compromises diaphragmatic contractility and may contribute to muscle wasting. IL-6 is a cytokine that may have beneficial systemic effects by mobilizing glucose from the liver and free fatty acids from the adipose tissue and providing them to the strenuously working respiratory muscles. Thus cytokine upregulation within the working diaphragm may be adaptive and maladaptive. 相似文献

Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a life-saving intervention in patients in respiratory failure. Unfortunately, prolonged MV results in the rapid development of diaphragm atrophy and weakness. MV-induced diaphragmatic weakness is significant because inspiratory muscle dysfunction is a risk factor for problematic weaning from MV. Therefore, developing a clinical intervention to prevent MV-induced diaphragm atrophy is important. In this regard, MV-induced diaphragmatic atrophy occurs due to both increased proteolysis and decreased protein synthesis. While efforts to impede MV-induced increased proteolysis in the diaphragm are well-documented, only one study has investigated methods of preserving diaphragmatic protein synthesis during prolonged MV. Therefore, we evaluated the efficacy of two therapeutic interventions that, conceptually, have the potential to sustain protein synthesis in the rat diaphragm during prolonged MV. Specifically, these experiments were designed to: 1) determine if partial-support MV will protect against the decrease in diaphragmatic protein synthesis that occurs during prolonged full-support MV; and 2) establish if treatment with a mitochondrial-targeted antioxidant will maintain diaphragm protein synthesis during full-support MV. Compared to spontaneously breathing animals, full support MV resulted in a significant decline in diaphragmatic protein synthesis during 12 hours of MV. In contrast, diaphragm protein synthesis rates were maintained during partial support MV at levels comparable to spontaneous breathing animals. Further, treatment of animals with a mitochondrial-targeted antioxidant prevented oxidative stress during full support MV and maintained diaphragm protein synthesis at the level of spontaneous breathing animals. We conclude that treatment with mitochondrial-targeted antioxidants or the use of partial-support MV are potential strategies to preserve diaphragm protein synthesis during prolonged MV. 相似文献

The afferent pathways mediating respiratory load perception are still largely unknown. To assess the role of lung vagal afferents in respiratory sensation, detection of inspiratory resistive loads was compared between 10 double-lung transplant (DLT) recipients with normal lung function and 12 healthy control (Nor) subjects. Despite a similar unloaded and loaded breathing pattern, the DLT group had a significantly higher detection threshold (2.91 +/- 0.5 vs. 1.55 +/- 0.3 cmH(2)O. l(-1). s) and Weber fraction (0.50 +/- 0.1 vs. 0.30 +/- 0.1) compared with the Nor group. These results suggest that inspiratory resistive load detection occurs in the absence of vagal afferent feedback from the lung but that lung vagal afferents contribute to inspiratory resistive load detection response in humans. Lung vagal afferents are not essential to the regulation of resting breathing and load compensation responses. 相似文献

This study tests three hypotheses regarding mechanisms that produce rapid shallow breathing during a severe inspiratory resistive load (IRL): 1) an intact vagal afferent pathway is necessary; 2) diaphragm fatigue contributes to tachypnea; and 3) hypoxia may alter the pattern of respiration. We imposed a severe IRL on pentobarbital sodium-anesthetized dogs, followed by bilateral vagotomy, then by supplemental O2. IRL alone produced rapid shallow breathing associated with hypercapnia and hypoxia. After the vagotomy, the breathing pattern became slow and deep, restoring arterial PCO2 but not arterial PO2 toward the control values. Relief of hypoxia had no effect, and at no time was there any evidence of fatigue of the diaphragm as measured by the response to phrenic nerve stimulation. We conclude that an intact afferent vagal pathway is necessary for the tachypnea resulting from a severe IRL, neither hypoxia nor diaphragm fatigue played a role, and, although we cannot rule out stimulation of vagal afferents, the simplest explanation for the increased frequency in our experiments is increased respiratory drive due to hypercapnia. 相似文献

Background
Inspiratory resistive breathing (IRB), a hallmark of obstructive airway diseases, is associated with large negative intrathoracic pressures, due to strenuous contractions of the inspiratory muscles. IRB is shown to induce lung injury in previously healthy animals. Src is a multifunctional kinase that is activated in the lung by mechanical stress. ERK1/2 kinase is a downstream target of Src. We hypothesized that Src is activated in the lung during IRB, mediates ERK1/2 activation and IRB-induced lung injury.Methods
Anaesthetized, tracheostomized adult rats breathed spontaneously through a 2-way non-rebreathing valve. Resistance was added to the inspiratory port to provide a peak tidal inspiratory pressure of 50% of maximum (inspiratory resistive breathing). Activation of Src and ERK1/2 in the lung was estimated during IRB. Following 6 h of IRB, respiratory system mechanics were measured by the forced oscillation technique and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed to measure total and differential cell count and total protein levels. IL-1b and MIP-2a protein levels were measured in lung tissue samples. Wet lung weight to total body weight was measured and Evans blue dye extravasation was estimated to measure lung permeability. Lung injury was evaluated by histology. The Src inhibitor, PP-2 or the inhibitor of ERK1/2 activation, PD98059 was administrated 30 min prior to IRB.Results
Src kinase was activated 30 min after the initiation of IRB. Src inhibition ameliorated the increase in BAL cellularity after 6 h IRB, but not the increase of IL-1β and MIP-2a in the lung. The increase in BAL total protein and lung injury score were not affected. The increase in tissue elasticity was partly inhibited. Src inhibition blocked ERK1/2 activation at 3 but not at 6 h of IRB. ERK1/2 inhibition ameliorated the increase in BAL cellularity after 6 h of IRB, blocked the increase of IL-1β and returned Evans blue extravasation and wet lung weight to control values. BAL total protein and the increase in elasticity were partially affected. ERK1/2 inhibition did not significantly change total lung injury score compared to 6 h IRB.Conclusions
Src and ERK1/2 are activated in the lung following IRB and participate in IRB-induced lung injury.15.

We applied graded resistive and elastic loads and total airway occlusions to single inspirations in six full-term healthy infants on days 2-3 of life to investigate the effect on neural and mechanical inspiratory duration (TI). The infants breathed through a face mask and pneumotachograph, and flow, volume, airway pressure, and diaphragm electromyogram (EMG) were recorded. Loads were applied to the inspiratory outlet of a two-way respiratory valve using a manifold system. Application of all loads resulted in inspired volumes decreased from control (P less than 0.001), and changes were progressive with increasing loads. TI measured from the pattern of the diaphragm EMG (TIEMG) was prolonged from control by application of all elastic and resistive loads and by total airway occlusions, resulting in a single curvilinear relationship between inspired volume and TIEMG that was independent of inspired volume trajectory. In contrast, when TI was measured from the pattern of airflow, the effect of loading on the mechanical time constant of the respiratory system resulted in different inspired volume-TI relationships for elastic and resistive loads. Mechanical and neural inspired volume and duration of the following unloaded inspiration were unchanged from control values. These findings indicate that neural inspiratory timing in infants depends on magnitude of phasic volume change during inspiration. They are consistent with the hypothesis that termination of inspiration is accomplished by an "off-switch" mechanism and that inspired volume determines the level of vagally mediated inspiratory inhibition to trigger this mechanism. 相似文献

Diaphragmatic contractility was assessed in spontaneously breathing ketamine-anesthetized rabbits by measuring the strength of diaphragmatic contraction in response to bilateral supramaximal phrenic nerve stimulation at frequencies between 10 and 100 Hz. During 10-180 min of inspiratory resistive loading, contractility decreased by approximately 40%, and hypoxemia and both respiratory and lactic acidosis developed. After 10 min of recovery, both the response to high-frequency stimulation (100 Hz) and the arterial PO2 and PCO2 returned to base-line levels, whereas metabolic acidosis and reduced response to low-frequency stimulation (10-20 Hz) persisted. Similar levels of hypoxemia and respiratory acidosis in the absence of inspiratory resistive loading did not alter diaphragmatic contractility. We conclude that in anesthetized rabbits excessive inspiratory resistive loading results in partially reversible diaphragm fatigue of the high- and low-frequency types, accompanied by hypoventilation and lactic acidosis. 相似文献

Hepatocarcinoma is the fifth most common neoplasm and the third cause of cancer-related death. The development of genetic- and/or molecular-based therapies is urgently required. The administration of high doses of nitric oxide (NO) promotes cell death in hepatocytes. NO contributes to cell signaling by inducing oxidative/nitrosative-dependent post-translational modifications. The aim of the present study was to investigate protein modifications and its relation with alteration of cell proliferation and death in hepatoma cells. Increased intracellular NO production was achieved by stable nitric oxide synthase-3 (NOS-3) overexpression in HepG2 cells. We assessed the pattern of nitration, nitrosylation and carbonylation of proteins by proteomic analysis. The results showed that NOS-3 cell overexpression increased oxidative stress, which affected proteins mainly involved in cell protein folding. Carbonylation also altered metabolism, as well as immune and antioxidant responses. The interaction of nitrosative and oxidative stress generated tyrosine nitration, which affected the tumor marker Serpin B3, ATP synthesis and cytoskeleton. All these effects were associated with a decrease in chaperone activity, a reduction in cell proliferation and an increased cell death. Our study showed that alteration of nitration, nitrosylation and carbonylation pattern of proteins by NO-dependent oxidative/nitrosative stress was related to a reduction of cell survival in a hepatoma cell line. 相似文献

To evaluate the coronary and systemic cardiovascular response to graded inspiratory resistive breathing, seven dogs were studied 2-4 wk after chronic instrumentation to measure circumflex coronary artery and ascending aortic blood flows as well as aortic and left ventricular (LV) blood pressures. The experiments were performed under chloralose anesthesia (to exclude any confounding emotional effects by dyspnea on cardiovascular variables) and hyperoxic conditions (to prevent chemoreflex activation by hypoxemia). In a randomized fashion, the dogs were subjected to graded inspiratory resistive breathing (spontaneous breathing alone and moderate and severe resistive loading, corresponding to resistances of approximately 0, 40, and 110 cmH2O.s.l-1, respectively). Each run lasted 10 min. Compared with mechanical ventilation with the respiratory muscles at rest, spontaneous breathing alone and moderate and severe inspiratory resistive loading induced pronounced and significant increases in circumflex coronary blood flow (19, 32, and 62%, respectively), which were almost exclusively accounted for by significant decrements in coronary vascular resistance and were paralleled (r = 0.88, P less than 0.0001) by significant increments (18, 31, and 57%) in heart rate transmural-aortic pressure product, an indicator of LV myocardial O2 demand. An increase in myocardial O2 consumption during resistive breathing was confirmed by analysis of coronary sinus blood samples in additional experiments (n = 3). Cardiac output significantly increased (10, 14, and 35%) because of increases in heart rate (15, 24, and 49%), with LV stroke volume and diastolic dimensions remaining unchanged.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

We examined the effect of increasing work rate, without a corresponding increase in the pressure-time product, on energy cost and inspiratory muscle endurance (Tlim) in five normal subjects during inspiratory resistive breathing. Tidal volume, mean inspiratory mouth pressure, duty cycle, and hence the pressure-time product were kept constant, whereas work rate was varied by changing the frequency of breathing. There was a linear decrease in Tlim of -2.1 +/- 0.5 s.J-1.min-1 (r = 0.87 +/- 0.06) with increasing work rate. The data satisfied a model of energy balance during fatiguing runs (Monod and Scherrer. Ergonomics 8: 329-337, 1965) and were consistent with the hypothesis that the rate of energy supply, or respiratory muscle blood flow, is fixed when the pressure-time product is constant. Our results indicate that during inspiratory resistive breathing against fatiguing loads, work rate determines endurance independently of the pressure-time product. On the basis of the model, our results lead to estimates of respiratory muscle blood flow and available energy stores under the conditions of our experiment. 相似文献

The effect of tyrosine nitration on mammalian GS activity and stability was studied in vitro. Peroxynitrite at a concentration of 5 micro mol/l produced tyrosine nitration and inactivation of GS, whereas 50 micro mol/l peroxynitrite additionally increased S-nitrosylation and carbonylation and degradation of GS by the 20S proteasome. (-)Epicatechin completely prevented both, tyrosine nitration and inactivation of GS by peroxynitrite (5 micro mol/l). Further, a putative "denitrase" activity restored the activity of peroxynitrite (5 micro mol/l)-treated GS. The data point to a potential regulation of GS activity by a reversible tyrosine nitration. High levels of oxidative stress may irreversibly damage and predispose the enzyme to proteasomal degradation. 相似文献
