The effects of anti-inflammatory steroids and BW-755C (both of which inhibit the formation of prostaglandins and leukotrienes) were studied in ischemia-induced edema and necrosis of the rabbit ear utilizing an occlusion reperfusion model. The results were compared with cyclooxygenase inhibitors which selectively block the synthesis of prostaglandins without affecting leukotriene production. Significant inhibition of the progression of necrosis was observed with both methyl prednisolone and BW-755C. The cyclooxygenase inhibitors, naproxen and low-dose indomethacin had no effect on the progression of ear necrosis. By contrast, high-dose indomethacin significantly inhibited edema but accelerated the progression of necrosis. 相似文献

Lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase blockade by BW 755C enhances pulmonary hypoxic vasoconstriction 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Lipoxygenase products (leukotrienes) have been proposed as the mediators of pulmonary hypoxic vasoconstriction. However, the supporting data are inconclusive because the lipoxygenase and leukotriene receptor blockers that reduce hypoxic vasoconstriction (such as diethylcarbamazine and the FPL's) have confounding effects. We investigated BW 755C, a potent inhibitor of both lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase, in eight intact anesthetized dogs with acute left lower lobe atelectasis. We examined two manifestations of hypoxic vasoconstriction: shunt fraction, as an inverse indicator of regional constriction in response to local hypoxia, and the pulmonary pressor response to global alveolar hypoxia, as an index of general hypoxic vasoconstriction. During normoxia, shunt fraction, measured using a sulfur hexafluoride infusion, was 32.0 +/- 7.0%. The pulmonary pressor response to hypoxia, defined as the increase in pulmonary end-diastolic gradient produced by 10% O2 inhalation, averaged 4.5 +/- 1.8 mmHg. Then, during normoxia, BW 755C was administered. Shunt fraction fell in all eight dogs from the previous mean of 32% to 25.5 +/- 6.1% (t = 6.5, P less than 0.0005). The hypoxic pressor response rose in all dogs, from the previous 4.5 mmHg to 9.0 +/- 3.5 mmHg (t = 4.5, P less than 0.005). BW 755C enhances hypoxic vasoconstriction, an effect consistent with its activity as a cyclooxygenase inhibitor. These data do not support a substantive role for the lipoxygenase pathway in hypoxic vasoconstriction. 相似文献

A patient with methadone-induced pulmonary edema had increased extravascular water in the lungs and a reduced total vascular albumin space. Diuresis resulted in hypotension. These observations suggest that the appropriate treatment of this condition should be ventilatory support and restoration of plasma oncotic pressure with albumin. Diuretic therapy should be used with caution. 相似文献

The infusion of Group B beta hemolytic streptococci (GBS) in newborn animals generates a dual phase pulmonary hypertensive response. The initial, acute phase responds to cyclooxygenase or thromboxane inhibition, and appears to be thromboxane mediated. The second phase is characterized by a more moderate rise in pulmonary vascular resistance, accompanied by an increase in microvascular permeability. It has been speculated that this phase may be leukotriene mediated. In an attempt to clarify this, we have studied and compared the effects of the thromboxane synthetase inhibitor, Dazmegrel (DAZ), and the combined cyclooxygenase/lipoxygenase inhibitor, BW755C, on the cardiopulmonary hemodynamics of the secondary phase of GBS induced pulmonary hypertension in newborn piglets. Ten piglets were infused with GBS, and all animals developed a significant increase in pulmonary artery pressure (to 39 +/- 5 and 36 +/- 5 mmHg for DAZ and BW755C animals respectively). After one hour of GBS, either DAZ or BW755C was administered. Data were collected for another two hours following drug administration. GBS infusion was continued throughout. Both DAZ and BW755C were associated with transient, acute reductions in pulmonary artery pressure (to 22 +/- 5 and 22 +/- 8 mmHg, respectively). However, after 60 minutes, PAP again began to rise in both groups (PAP 30 +/- 5 and 30 +/- 11 mmHg respectively by 240 minutes). There were no differences between the groups at any time. These data do not support a significant role for lipoxygenase products in mediating the secondary phase of septic pulmonary hypertension. 相似文献

Our recent in vitro results [4] indicate that cigarette smoke induces oxidation of human plasma proteins and extensive oxidative degradation of the guinea pig lung, heart, and liver microsomal proteins, which is almost completely prevented by ascorbic acid. In this paper, we substantiate the in vitro results with in vivo observations. We demonstrate that exposure of subclinical or marginal vitamin C-deficient guinea pigs to cigarette smoke causes oxidation of plasma proteins as well as extensive oxidative degradation of the lung microsomal proteins. Cigarette smoke exposure also results in some discernible damage of the heart microsomal proteins. The oxidative damage has been manifested by SDS-PAGE, accumulation of carbonyl and bityrosine, as well as loss of tryptophan and protein thiols. Cigarette smoke exposure also induces peroxidation of microsomal lipids as evidenced by the formation of conjugated dienes, malondialdehyde, and fluorescent pigment. Cigarette smoke-induced oxidative damage of proteins and peroxidation of lipids are accompanied by marked drop in the tissue ascorbate levels. Protein damage and lipid peroxidation are also observed in cigarette smoke-exposed pair-fed guinea pigs receiving 5 mg vitamin C/animal/day. However, complete protection against protein damage and lipid peroxidation occurs when the guinea pigs are fed 15 mg vitamin C/animal/day. Also, the cigarette smoke-induced oxidative damage of proteins and lipid is reversed after discontinuation of cigarette smoke exposure accompanied by ascorbate therapy. The results, if extrapolated to humans, indicate that comparatively large doses of vitamin C may protect the smokers from cigarette smoke-induced oxidative damage and associated degenerative diseases. 相似文献

Cluster of differentiation 69 (CD69) has been identified as a lymphocyte early activation marker, and recent studies have indicated that CD69 mediates intracellular signals and plays an important role in various inflammatory diseases. Cigarette smoke (CS) is a strong proinflammatory stimulus that induces the release of proinflammatory mediators by recruiting macrophages and neutrophils into the lung tissue, and is one of the main risk factors for a number of chronic diseases. However, the potential role of CD69 in CS-induced pulmonary inflammation has not been determined. To address to this question, CD69-deficient (KO) and wild-type (WT) mice were subjected to CS-induced acute pulmonary inflammation. After the exposure with CS, the expression of CD69 in the lung of WT mice was significantly induced, it was predominantly observed in macrophages. In conjunction with this phenomenon, neutrophil and macrophage cell counts, and expression of several cytokines were significantly higher in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of CS-exposed WT mice compared with air-exposed WT mice. Likewise, the CS-induced accumulation of inflammatory cells and cytokines expression were significantly lower in CD69-KO mice than in WT mice. These results suggest that CD69 on macrophages is involved in CS-induced acute pulmonary inflammation. 相似文献

Background
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive lung disease characterized by abnormal cellular responses to cigarette smoke, resulting in tissue destruction and airflow limitation. Autophagy is a degradative process involving lysosomal turnover of cellular components, though its role in human diseases remains unclear.Methodology and Principal Findings
Increased autophagy was observed in lung tissue from COPD patients, as indicated by electron microscopic analysis, as well as by increased activation of autophagic proteins (microtubule-associated protein-1 light chain-3B, LC3B, Atg4, Atg5/12, Atg7). Cigarette smoke extract (CSE) is an established model for studying the effects of cigarette smoke exposure in vitro. In human pulmonary epithelial cells, exposure to CSE or histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor rapidly induced autophagy. CSE decreased HDAC activity, resulting in increased binding of early growth response-1 (Egr-1) and E2F factors to the autophagy gene LC3B promoter, and increased LC3B expression. Knockdown of E2F-4 or Egr-1 inhibited CSE-induced LC3B expression. Knockdown of Egr-1 also inhibited the expression of Atg4B, a critical factor for LC3B conversion. Inhibition of autophagy by LC3B-knockdown protected epithelial cells from CSE-induced apoptosis. Egr-1 −/− mice, which displayed basal airspace enlargement, resisted cigarette-smoke induced autophagy, apoptosis, and emphysema.Conclusions
We demonstrate a critical role for Egr-1 in promoting autophagy and apoptosis in response to cigarette smoke exposure in vitro and in vivo. The induction of autophagy at early stages of COPD progression suggests novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of cigarette smoke induced lung injury. 相似文献20.

This study investigated the possible contribution of neutrophils to development of reexpansion pulmonary edema (RPE) in rabbits. Rabbits' right lungs were collapsed for 7 days and then reexpanded with negative intrathoracic pressure for 2 h before study, a model that creates unilateral edema in the reexpanded lungs but not in contralateral left lungs. Two hours after lung reexpansion, significant increases in lavage albumin concentration (17-fold), percent neutrophils (14-fold), and total number of neutrophils (7-fold) recovered occurred in the reexpanded lung but not in the left. After 2 h of reexpansion increased leukotriene B4 was detected in lavage supernatant from right lungs (335 +/- 33 pg/ml) compared with the left (110 +/- 12 pg/mg, P less than 0.01), and right lung lavage acid phosphatase activity similarly increased (6.67 +/- 0.35 U/l) compared with left (4.73 +/- 0.60 U/l, P less than 0.05). Neutropenia induced by nitrogen mustard (17 +/- 14 greater than neutrophils/microliters) did not prevent RPE, because reexpanded lungs from six neutropenic rabbits were edematous (wet-to-dry lung weight ratio 6.34 +/- 0.43) compared with their contralateral lungs (4.97 +/- 0.04, P less than 0.01). An elevated albumin concentration in reexpanded lung lavage from neutropenic rabbits (8-fold) confirmed an increase in permeability. Neutrophil depletion before reexpansion did not prevent unilateral edema, although neutrophils were absent from lung sections and alveolar lavage fluid from neutropenic rabbits. 相似文献
