Plasma from conscious hypoxic rats stimulates leukocyte-endothelial interactions in normoxic cremaster venules.

Systemic hypoxia results in rapid increases in leukocyte-endothelial adherence (LEA) and emigration, vascular permeability, and mast cell activation in several microcirculations. Observations in cremaster muscle suggest that this response is initiated by a mediator released from a distant site (Dix R, Orth T, Allen JA, Wood JG, and Gonzalez NC. J Appl Physiol 95: 2495-2502, 2003). The present experiments in rat cremaster muscle tested the hypothesis that, if a circulating mediator triggers hypoxia-induced inflammation, then plasma from hypoxic rats should elicit LEA in normoxic cremaster venules. Plasma from conscious donor rats breathing 10% O2-90% N2 for 5 min was applied topically to the cremaster of normoxic anesthetized rats. In this and all other groups described below, the donor plasma had attained normoxic PO2 when applied to the cremaster. LEA (leukocytes/100-microm venule) increased from 2.7 +/- 0.8 to 12.3 +/- 2.4, and venular shear rate and arteriolar diameter decreased to 79 +/- 9% (P < 0.05, n = 6) and 77 +/- 5% of control (P < 0.05, n = 5), respectively, 10 min after application of plasma from hypoxic donors. The decrease in venular shear rate was exclusively due to a reduction of venular blood flow, secondary to the upstream arteriolar vasoconstriction. Plasma from normoxic donors had no effects. Plasma from blood equilibrated in vitro for 5 min with 5% CO2-95% N2 did not alter LEA or shear rate of normoxic cremasters, suggesting that the putative mediator does not originate in blood cells. The effects of plasma from hypoxic rats persisted when the donors were pretreated with the mast cell stabilizer cromolyn, which prevents hypoxia-induced LEA. This suggests that the effects of hypoxic plasma are not due to inflammatory mediators released by adherent leukocytes in the donor rat. There was a positive correlation between LEA and mast cell degranulation observed histologically. These results support the idea that systemic hypoxia produces the release of a substance transported by the circulation that initiates the microvascular inflammation.     

Plasma expander viscosity effects on red cell-free layer thickness after moderate hemodilution

The objective of the study was to investigate the effects of plasma viscosity after hemodilution on the thickness of the erythrocyte cell free layer (CFL) and on the interface between the flowing column of erythrocytes and the vascular endothelium. The erythrocyte CFL thickness was measured in the rat cremaster muscle preparation. Plasma viscosity was modified in an isovolemic hemodilution, in which the systemic hematocrit (Hctsys) was lowered to 30%. The plasma expanders (PE) of similar nature and different viscosities were generated by glutaraldehyde polymerization of human serum albumin (HSA) at various molar ratios glutaraldehyde to HSA: (i) unpolymerized HSA; (ii) PolyHSA24:1, molar ratio = 24 and (iii) PolyHSA60:1, molar ratio = 60. The HSA viscosities determined at 200 s(-1) were 1.1, 4.2 and 6.0 dyn x cm(-2), respectively. CFL thickness, vessel diameter and blood flow velocity were measured, while volumetric flow, shear rate and stress were calculated. Hemodilution with PolyHSA60:1 increased plasma viscosity and the blood showed marked shear thinning behavior. CFL thickness decreased as plasma viscosity increased after hemodilution; thus the CFL thickness with HSA and PolyHSA24:1 increased compared to baseline. Conversely, the CFL thickness of PolyHSA60:1 was not different from baseline. Blood flow increased with both PolyHSA's compared to baseline. Wall shear rate and shear stress increased for PolyHSA60:1 compared to HSA and PolyHSA24:1, respectively. In conclusion, PE viscosity determined plasma viscosity after hemodilution and affected erythrocyte column hydrodynamics, changing the velocity profile, CFL thickness, and wall shear stress. This study relates the perfusion caused by PolyHSA60:1 to hemodynamic changes induced by the rheological properties of blood diluted with PolyHSA60:1.     

Plasma atrial natriuretic peptide during brief upright and supine exercise in humans

The factors associated with the exercise-induced increase in plasma atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) have not been clearly established. Thus the purpose of the study was to further document the stimulus for the exercise-induced release of ANP and to examine the role of ANP in the control of hydromineral balance during exercise. Eight healthy male volunteers (25.1 +/- 4.5 yr) were submitted to a graded cycling exercise in both the upright and supine positions. Venous blood was sampled at rest and at the end of each 5-min work load at 40, 60, and 80% maximal oxygen uptake (Vo2max), at maximal exercise, and during recovery through an indwelling catheter for the determination of plasma vasopressin, aldosterone, catecholamines, plasma renin activity, and ANP concentrations. Results indicate a significant increase in ANP (pg/ml) from rest to maximal exercise in the upright position [rest, 21.9 +/- 10.2; 40%, 24.7 +/- 12.6; 60%, 32.4 +/- 17*; 80%, 47.8 +/- 27.7*; 100% Vo2max, 65.9 +/- 34.5* (*P less than or equal to 0.05)]. Supine concentrations were significantly higher than upright at 40 (37.9 +/- 15.2), 60 (54.0 +/- 18.8), and 80% Vo2max (68.9 +/- 16.6). Plasma ANP during maximal exercise was similar in both positions. Plasma vasopressin, aldosterone, renin activity, and catecholamines increased with increasing exercise intensity in both positions, although lower values were systematically observed in the supine position. The association of higher plasma ANP and blunted plasma vasopressin, plasma renin activity, and norepinephrine concentrations during supine exercise suggests that ANP may exert modulatory effects on the control of the hydromineral hormonal system during exercise.     

Plasma serotonin levels and the platelet serotonin transporter

Serotonin (5HT) is a platelet-stored vasoconstrictor. Altered concentrations of circulating 5HT are implicated in several pathologic conditions, including hypertension. The actions of 5HT are mediated by different types of receptors and terminated by a single 5HT transporter (SERT). Therefore, SERT is a major mechanism that regulates plasma 5HT levels to prevent vasoconstriction and thereby secure a stable blood flow. In this study, the response of platelet SERT to the plasma 5HT levels was examined within two models: (i) in subjects with chronic hypertension or normotension; (ii) on platelets isolated from normotensive subjects and pretreated with 5HT at various concentrations. The platelet 5HT uptake rates were lower during hypertension due to a decrease in Vmax with a similar Km; also, the decrease in Vmax was primarily due to a decrease in the density of SERT on the platelet membrane, with no change in whole cell expression. Additionally, while the platelet 5HT content decreased 33%, the plasma 5HT content increased 33%. Furthermore, exogenous 5HT altered the 5HT uptake rates by changing the density of SERT molecules on the plasma membrane in a biphasic manner. Therefore, we hypothesize that in a hypertensive state, the elevated plasma 5HT levels induces a loss in 5HT uptake function in platelets via a decrease in the density of SERT molecules on the plasma membrane. Through the feedback effect of this proposed mechanism, plasma 5HT controls its own concentration levels by modulating the uptake properties of platelet SERT.

Effect of intragastric barostat bag on proximal and distal gastric accommodation in response to liquid meal

The barostat is the gold standard for measurement of proximal gastric accommodation. Ultrasonography can be used to measure gastric volume. The aim was to investigate the effects of the barostat bag on gastric accommodation and transpyloric flow. Accommodation after a liquid meal (300 ml, 450 kcal) was measured twice at random in eight healthy volunteers. Proximal accommodation was measured once using barostat and once using ultrasound (US). Antrum accommodation was measured using US. Bag volume (BV), antral area (AA), proximal gastric area, and proximal gastric diameter (PGD) data were assessed before and 1, 5, 15, 30, 40, 50, and 60 min postprandially. Transpyloric flow was measured using Doppler 1-5 min postprandially. Fasted, AA size was not affected by the barostat bag (1 mmHg > minimal distension pressure; 2.7 +/- 0.5 vs. 2.6 +/- 0.3 cm(2)). Postprandially, AAs were larger with the bag present (ANOVA, P < 0.04). Maximum AA was reached with the bag in 5 min, without the bag in 1 min postprandially (15.1 +/- 2.3 vs. 9.4 +/- 1.5 cm(2); P < 0.03). Furthermore, AAs were related to BVs (r = 0.57; P < 0.01). After bag deflation, AA decreased (11.9 +/- 1.8 to 7.0 +/- 0.9 cm(2); P = 0.02) and was comparable with the 60-min AA size without the bag (7.1 +/- 1.2 cm(2); P = 0.76) present. Proximal gastric radius calculated from the BVs and PGDs was larger with the bag present (ANOVA, P < 0.001). No effect on early gastric emptying was observed. Postprandially, the barostat bag causes dilatation of the antrum due to meal displacement without influencing early gastric emptying. This antral dilatation is likely to induce exaggerated proximal gastric relaxation observed in studies using the barostat to evaluate fundic accommodation.     

A Practical and Novel Method to Extract Genomic DNA from Blood Collection Kits for Plasma Protein Preservation

Laboratory tests can be done on the cellular or fluid portions of the blood. The use of different blood collection tubes determines the portion of the blood that can be analyzed (whole blood, plasma or serum). Laboratories involved in studying the genetic basis of human disorders rely on anticoagulated whole blood collected in EDTA-containing vacutainer as the source of DNA for genetic / genomic analysis. Because most clinical laboratories perform biochemical, serologic and viral testing as a first step in phenotypic outcome investigation, anticoagulated blood is also collected in heparin-containing tube (plasma tube). Therefore when DNA and plasma are needed for simultaneous and parallel analyses of both genomic and proteomic data, it is customary to collect blood in both EDTA and heparin tubes. If blood could be collected in a single tube and serve as a source for both plasma and DNA, that method would be considered an advancement to existing methods. The use of the compacted blood after plasma extraction represents an alternative source for genomic DNA, thus minimizing the amount of blood samples processed and reducing the number of samples required from each patient. This would ultimately save time and resources.The BD P100 blood collection system for plasma protein preservation were created as an improved method over previous plasma or serum collection tubes¹, to stabilize the protein content of blood, enabling better protein biomarker discovery and proteomics experimentation from human blood. The BD P100 tubes contain 15.8 ml of spray-dried K2EDTA and a lyophilized proprietary broad spectrum cocktail of protease inhibitors to prevent coagulation and stabilize the plasma proteins. They also include a mechanical separator, which provides a physical barrier between plasma and cell pellets after centrifugation. Few methods have been devised to extract DNA from clotted blood samples collected in old plasma tubes^2-4. Challenges from these methods were mainly associated with the type of separator inside the tubes (gel separator) and included difficulty in recovering the clotted blood, the inconvenience of fragmenting or dispersing the clot, and obstruction of the clot extraction by the separation gel.We present the first method that extracts and purifies genomic DNA from blood drawn in the new BD P100 tubes. We compare the quality of the DNA sample from P100 tubes to that from EDTA tubes. Our approach is simple and efficient. It involves four major steps as follows: 1) the use of a plasma BD P100 (BD Diagnostics, Sparks, MD, USA) tube with mechanical separator for blood collection, 2) the removal of the mechanical separator using a combination of sucrose and a sterile paperclip metallic hook, 3) the separation of the buffy coat layer containing the white cells and 4) the isolation of the genomic DNA from the buffy coat using a regular commercial DNA extraction kit or a similar standard protocol.     

High-speed bubble-segmented blood sampler for the rat

An arterial blood sampler for use in the conscious rat is described. With this apparatus it is possible to obtain small (10 microliter) whole-blood or plasma samples as frequently as 1/s and to derive accurate arterial time-concentration curves in the first 60-120 s after compounds are injected for regional blood flow or pharmacokinetic measurements. The blood is withdrawn from an implanted arterial catheter into polyethylene tubing at a constant rate while bubbles are introduced at regular intervals via a side channel into the column of blood. Although some dispersion of blood samples occurs as the tubing is traversed, this can be mathematically corrected. However, correction is unnecessary if the information of interest is the area under the time-concentration curve.

Targeted O2 delivery by low-P50 hemoglobin: a new basis for O2 therapeutics

To assess O2 delivery to tissue by a new surface-modified, polyethylene glycol-conjugated human hemoglobin [MP4; Po2 at 50% saturation of hemoglobin (P50); 5.4 mmHg], we studied microcirculatory hemodynamics and O2 release in golden Syrian hamsters hemodiluted with MP4 or polymerized bovine hemoglobin (PolyBvHb; P50 54.2 mmHg). Comparisons were made with the animals' hemodiluted blood with a non-O2 carrying plasma expander with similar solution properties (Dextran-70). Systemic hemodynamics (arterial blood pressure and heart rate) and acid-base parameters were not correlated with microhemodynamics (arteriolar and venular diameter, red blood cell velocity, and flow). Microscopic measurements of Po2 and the O2 equilibrium curves permitted analysis of O2 release in precapillary and capillary vessels by red blood cells and plasma hemoglobin separately. No significant differences between the groups of animals with respect to arteriolar diameter, flow, or flow velocity were observed, but the functional capillary density was significantly higher in the MP4-treated animals (67%) compared with PolyBvHb-treated animals (37%; P < 0.05) or dextran-treated animals (53%). In the PolyBvHb-treated animals, predominant O2 release (both red blood cells and plasma hemoglobin) occurred in precapillary vessels, whereas in MP4 animals most of the O2 was released from both red blood cells and plasma hemoglobin in capillaries. Base excess correlated directly with capillary O2 release but not systemic O2 content or total O2 release. Higher O2 extraction of both red blood cell and plasma hemoglobin in capillaries represents a new mechanism of action of cell-free hemoglobin. High O2 affinity appears to be an important property for cell-free hemoglobin solutions.
