Objective To investigate the effects of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) mediated by cell penetrating peptide PEP-1 on intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injuiy in tats. Methods Eighteen male SD rats aged 7-9 weeks weighing 210-260 g were randomly divided into 3 groups (re = 6 each): sham operation group (group S) , I/R group and PEP-1/HO-1 + I/R group (group HO) . To establish a model of intestinal I/R injury, intestines were exteriorized and the superior mesenteric artery was exposed and occluded for 45 min ischemia, and then the clamp was removed for 120 min reperfusion. The PEP-1/HO-1 fusion protein 0.5 mg was injected via the left iliac vein 30 min prior to ischemia in group HO. The superior mesenteric artery was exposed but not occluded in group S. At the end of reperfusion, the rats were sacrificed and intestinal tissues obtained to determine the intestinal wet/ dry ratio, malondialdehyde (MDA) level, activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and HO-1, and HO-1 protein expression. The histological changes in the intestinal mucosa were examined and the injuiy was scored. Results Compared with group S, the intestinal wet/dry ratio, MDA level, HO-1 activity, HO-1 protein expression and injury score were significantly increased, while the SOD activity was significantly decreased in groups I/R and HO ( P ＜ 0.05) . Compared with group I/R, the intestinal wet/dry ratio, MDA level and injury score were significantly decreased, while the SOD activity, HO-1 activity and HO-1 protein expression increased in group HO ( P ＜ 0.05) . The pathologic changes were significantly attenuated in group HO compared with group I/R.Conclusion HO-1 protein can be successfully delivered into intestinal tissues by PEP-1 and has protective effects against intestinal I/R injury.

Objective To investigate the effects of sevoflurane pretreatment on renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R)-induced apoptosis in kidney in rats. Methods Thirty pathogen-free male SD rats weighing 220-260 g were randomized into 3 groups (n=10 each):group control (group C);group I/R and group sevoflurane(group S). Renal I/R was induced by clamping the left renal pedicle for 45 min in I/R and S groups. In group S inhalation of 2.2% sevoflurane in O2 was started at 30 min before operation and maintained throughout the experiment.Venous blood samples were taken at 3 h of reperfusion for determination of serum BUN and Cr concentrations. The animals were then sacrificed and the left kidneys were removed for microscopic examination, detection of apoptosis(by TUNEL)and determination of heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) mRNA and protein expression (by RT-PCR and Western blot).Results Renal I/R significantly increased serum BUN and Cr concentrations, apoptotic index(percentage of apoptotic cells) and the severity of necrosis of renal proximal convoluted tubules (0=normal,4=necrosis of whole segment of proximal convoluted tubules).Sevoflurane inhalation attenuated the I/R-induced changes mentioned above.HO-1 mRNA and protein expression was up-regulated by I/R and HO-1 mRNA expression was further up-regulated by sevoflurane inhalation.Conclusion Sevoflurane pretreatment can protect kidney against I/R injury by attenuating cell apoptosis.Up-regulation of HO-1 mRNA expression may be involved in the mechanism.     

Protective effect of ischemic postconditioning on lung ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats and the role of heme oxygenase-1

To investigate the effect of ischemic postconditioning (IPO) on acute lung ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and the protein expression of haeme oxygenase-1 (H0-1), a cytoprotective defense against oxidative injury. Methods: After being anesthetized with chloralhy-drate, forty-eight healthy SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups (8 in each): sham operation group (S group); I/R group: left lung hilum was clamped for 40 minutes followed by 105 minutes of reperfusion; IPO group: left lung hilum was clamped for40 minutes and postconditioned by 3 cycles of 30 seconds of reperfusion and 30 seconds of reocclusion; Hemin (HM)+ I/R group: hemin, an inducer of HO- 1 was injected intraperitoneally at 40 μmol.kg-1·day-1 for two con-secutive days prior to 40 minutes clamping of left lung hilum; ZnPPIX+IPO group: zinc protoporphyrin Ⅸ, an inhibitor of HO-1 was injected intraperitoneally at 20 mg·kg-1 24 hours prior to 40 minutes clamping of left lung hilum; and HM+S group: HM was administered as in the HM+I/R group without inducing lung I/R. Arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) and malondialdehyde (MDA) content in serum were assessed. The left lung was removed for determination of wet/dry lung weight ratio and expression of HO-1 protein by immuno-his-tochemical technique and for light microscopic examination. Results: The PaO2 was significantly lower in all the experimental groups compared with sham group (90 mm Hg ±11 mm Hg). However, the values ofPaO2 in IPO (81 mm Hg ±7 mm Hg) and HM+I/R (80 mm Hg±9 mm Hg) were higher than that in I/R (63 mm Hg±9 mm Hg) and ZnPPIX+IPO (65 mm Hg±8 mm Hg) groups (P<0.01). The protein expression of HO-1 in lung tissue was significantly increased in I/R group compared with S group (P<0.01). While the HO-1 protein expression was higher in IPO and HM+I/R groups as compared with I/R group (P<0.05, P<0.01). The lung wet/ dry (W/D) weight ratio and MDA content in serum were significantly increased in I/R group as compared with S or HM+S groups (P<0.01), accompanied by severe lung tissue histological damage, which was attenuated either by IPO or by HM pretreatment (P<0.01, IPO or HM+I/R vs. I/R). The protective effect of IPO was abolished by ZnPPIX. Condusion: Ischemic postconditioning can attenuate the lung ischemia-reperfusion injury through upregulating the protein expression of HO-1 that leads to reduced post-ischemic oxidative damage.

Protective effect of hemoglobin—induced heme oxygenase—1 on injured lungs caused by limb ischemia—reperfusion in rats

OBJECTIVE: To determine the role of hemoglobin (HB) induced heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in injured lungs caused by limb ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats. METHODS: A rat model of ischemia in the hind limbs was made by clamping the infrarenal aorta with a microvascular clip, and lung injury occurred after reperfusion. To induce the expression of HO-1 in the lungs, Hb was administrated intraperitoneally at 16 hours before reperfusion. Northern blotting and Western blotting were used to detect the expression of HO-1 in the lungs, and the carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) level in arterial blood was assayed. The effect of hemoglobin (Hb) on the injured lungs after limb I/R was determined by measuring the changes of lung histology, polymorphonuclear (PMN) count, malondialdehyde (MDA) content and wet-to-dry weight ratio (W/D). Zinc protoporphyrin (ZnPP), an inhibitor of HO, was used to determine whether HO-1 was induced by Hb after lung injury. RESULTS: Hb led to a significant increase in HO-1 mRNA and protein expression in the lungs, accompanied by the increase of COHb level in arterial blood. Compared with the sham controls, the lung PMN count, MDA content and W/D significantly increased at 4 hours after limb I/R, which reversed by the pretreatment with Hb at 16 hours before reperfusion. ZnPP blocked this protective role of Hb in the injured lungs. CONCLUSIONS: Hb can induce the lung HO-1 expression, which plays an important role in the defense against I/R induced lung injury in rats.

The left lung was removed for determination of wet/dry lung weight ratio and expression of HO-1 protein by immuno-his-tochemical technique and for light microscopic examination. Results: The PaO2 was significantly lower in all the experimental groups compared with sham group (90 mm Hg ±11 mm Hg). However, the values ofPaO2 in IPO (81 mm Hg ±7 mm Hg) and HM+I/R (80 mm Hg±9 mm Hg) were higher than that in I/R (63 mm Hg±9 mm Hg) and ZnPPIX+IPO (65 mm Hg±8 mm Hg) groups (P<0.01). The protein expression of HO-1 in lung tissue was significantly increased in I/R group compared with S group (P<0.01). While the HO-1 protein expression was higher in IPO and HM+I/R groups as compared with I/R group (P<0.05, P<0.01). The lung wet/ dry (W/D) weight ratio and MDA content in serum were significantly increased in I/R group as compared with S or HM+S groups (P<0.01), accompanied by severe lung tissue histological damage, which was attenuated either by IPO or by HM pretreatment (P<0.01, IPO or HM+I/R vs. I/R). The protective effect of IPO was abolished by ZnPPIX. Condusion: Ischemic postconditioning can attenuate the lung ischemia-reperfusion injury through upregulating the protein expression of HO-1 that leads to reduced post-ischemic oxidative damage.

Abstract：

Objective To investigate the effects of ulinastatin on the expression of NF-κB in lung tissues during limb ischemia-reperfusion(I/R) in rats.Methods Forty-eight male SD rats weighing 230-260 g were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=16 each):sham operation group (group S);I/R group; ulinastatin group (group U).A rat model of lung injury induced by I/R of hind limbs which was produced by occlusion of the bilateral femoral arteries for 2 h followed by reperfusion was established.The rats were sacrificed at 2 and 4 h of reperfusion(8 rats at each time point) and the lung tissues removed for determination of NF-κB expression (by immuno-histochemistry) and microscopic examination.W/D lung weight ratio was calculated.Results W/D lung weight ratio was significantly increased and NF-κB expression was up-regulated in group I/R compared with group S(P＜ 0.05). W/D lung weight ratio was significantly decreased and NF-κB expression was down-regulated in group U compared with group I/R (P＜0.05). The lung injury induced by I/R was reduced in group U compared with group I/R. Conclusion Ulinastatin can reduce the lung injury induced by limb I/R by down-regulating the expression of NF-κB in rat lung tissues.     

Protective effects of pretreatment with Radix Paeoniae Rubra on acute lung injury induced by intestinal ischemia/reperfusion in rats

Objective： To investigate the effect of pretreatment with Radix Paeoniae Rubra （RPR） on acute lung injury induced by intestinal ischemia/reperfusion in rats and its protective mechanism.
Methods： Thirty-two Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups： Sham-operation group, ischemla/ reperfusion group （I/R group ）, RPR-pretreatment group and hemin group. The model of intestinal ischemia/ reperfusion was established by clamping the superior mesenteric artery for 1 hour followed by 2-hour reperfusion. The effect of RPR on the expression of heme oxygenase-1 （HO-1） in lung tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry and morphometry computer image analysis. Arterial blood gas analysis, lung permeability index, malondialdehyde （MDA） and superoxide dismutase （SOD） contents in lungs were measured. The histological changes of lung tissue were observed under light microscope.
Resalts： The expression of HO-1 in RPR-pretreatment group and hemin group was obviously higher than that in sham-operation group and I/R group （ P 〈 0.01 ）. The level of MDA and lung permeability index in RPR-pretreatment and hemin group were significantly lower than those in I/R group （P〈0.01 or P〈0.05）, while the activity of SOD in RPR-pretreatment and hemin group was obviously higher than that in I/R group （P〈0.01）. Under light microscope, the pathologic changes induced by I/R were significantly attenuated by RPR.
Conclusion： Intestinal ischemia/reperfusion may result in acute lung injury and pretreatment with RPR injection can attenuate the injury. The protective effect of RPR on the acute lung injury is related to its property of inducing HO-1 expression and inhibiting lipid peroxidation.     

PEP-1介导血红素加氧酶-1对大鼠肝脏缺血／再灌注后SOD和MDA及Caspase-3表达的影响

目的：探讨大鼠肝缺血/再灌注（I/R）后PEP-1介导血红素加氧酶-1（HO-1）对肝脏超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）、丙二醛（MDA）及caspase-3的影响。方法制作肝I/R损伤动物模型,SD大鼠随机分为4组,即假手术组（S组）,肝缺血再灌注组（I/R组）、HO-1组、PEP-1-HO-1组。I/R后12 h光镜及电镜下观察肝细胞病理学改变,检测血清ALT的水平、肝组织MDA的含量及SOD的活性,免疫组化染色检测肝组织caspase-3的表达。结果 PEP-1-HO-1组血清ALT、肝组织MDA变化幅度明显低于I/R组,肝组织SOD明显高于I/R组（P ＜0．05）。在电镜下观察,l/R组肝小叶结构紊乱,肝窦淤血,肝细胞水肿变性,肝细胞片状坏死。HO-1组和PEP-1-HO-1组上述改变明显减轻。在I/R组中,caspase-3较S组表达增强,而在HO-1组、PEP-1-HO1组中其表达较I/R组减弱。结论 PEP-1介导HO-1对肝I/R损伤有保护作用,其作用机制可能与减少氧自由基产生、减轻脂质过氧化反应及抑制caspase-3的表达有关。     

内源性一氧化氮在非创伤性缺血预处理中对兔肺的保护作用

目的探讨内源性一氧化氮（NO）在非创伤性缺血预处理（N—WIP）中对兔肺缺血／再灌注（I／R）损伤的保护作用及可能机制。方法采用N-WIP及经典缺血预处理（C-IP）的动物模型，比较两种缺血预处理方法中内源性NO对兔肺在缺血／再灌注损伤中的保护效应。将40只大白兔随机平均分为4组：对照组、I／R组、C—IP组和NWIP组。对比观察各组血清及肺组织中NO2^-／NO3^-、丙二醛（MDA）含量及超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）活性以及肺湿／干重比。结果N—WIP组和C-IP组的兔肺再灌注后NO2^-／NO3^-含量均高于I／R组（P〈0．01），甚至高于对照组（P〈0．05）。两种缺血预处理组SOD活性均高于I／R组（P〈0．01），肺湿／干重比和MDA含量均低于I／R组（P〈0．05，P〈0．01）。结论N-WIP与C-IP对移植肺在缺血／再灌注损伤中具有同等强度的保护作用。其机制可能是通过诱发内源性一氧化氮（NO）舒张血管，从而起到保护血管内皮的效应。
